That's simply not a defense of Cruise. How things work in a hypothetical universe doesn't absolve them of how things worked in this universe. It's a self-driving car. One of the things it should be able to do is move out of the way.

The conversation we should be having is how to give emergency responders the ability to move the car on their own. From a technical stand point, that's no problem at all. From a security stand point, it's a moderately difficult problem. From a civil rights stand point, it's a very difficult problem.
Not so likely with 60-80 degrees Celsius though. Also professional washers have disinfectant cycles.

I use the laundrette around the corner as I don't have a washing machine or dryer (it's really just as easy, and the washers and dryers are crazy fast compared to home ones) and my clothes are just fine at 60C. Bedding and towels I do at 80.

Companies have no choice but to defend their trademarks with immediate, hostile legal action, every time!

That's what their lawyers say, anyway, and why would they lie?
That's so bull. I was a cto of a small ride sharing company where you could book through sms, a web page designed for flip phones, one for desktops, or a smart phone app - and this was in 2020.

We had like 1/100th the budget of Lyft. It's inexcusable.

An sms interface is super easy. You give it an address, then it reads it back to confirm it's right, gives you a list of price options and sends you updates... You can do the entire rideflow completely over sms assuming the person has already signed up. Even the tips, no problem.

It feels more casual. We definitely got higher utilization after the SMS interface than before. The flip phone interface was actually great for people with old phones or on limited data plans, it too got a lot of use.

This forcing of all the users through the same funnel is total bullshit. Wasn't personal computing supposed to be individuated instead of consolidated? Let's stop 1960s IBMing everything

Definitely. My children loved phones even at an age where they couldn't care less about the screen.

If you use bitcoin you can make services that provide value and get paid for those online without any identity involved.
That's the main value. That said it's a bit complicated to use bitcoin in a truly anonymous way without connecting identity to it at any point.
>I think we disagree on the totalitarian aspect of the echo chamber.

That distinction you hope for does not exist. We arent talking about your frame of digital neighbors but an end to self hosting. How ever nice your story sounds isnt more important then its predictable consequences.

Authoritarian means with righteous sounding justifications safeguarded by only good intentions and an assumption of competence arent safeguards against totalitarianism, its its description. You cant create an authoritarian entity where you just keep the mean people away from the wheel. Thats how almost all totalitarians describe their perspective, including when some of my older relatives can be believed my great grand parents with NSDAP membership cards. You are making the exact same argument. By insisting on how competent, well intentioned and justified you are, you verifying this assumption. You acknowledge that you are unable to recognize that that isnt enough. Which means less and less people are going to tell you this. Because its really dangerous, on an individual and a societal level.https://sproutsschools.com/bonhoeffers-theory-of-stupidity/

When the acoustic breaks are gone the kinetic ones will need to be engaged. Thats not a bug, they have to, there is genocide and existential risk waiting at the bottom of the slope and you dont have the ability, let alone intention, to break yourself. Which is really bad as its a very safe indicator that stuff is soon to become horrific. With anyone who tried the acoustic breaks unable to engage the kinetic ones. Which means fewer and fewer will even try communicating this. We cant allow that to happen. There is no way totalitarianism isnt going to end horribly. If we loose the ability to communicate we are collectively done for.

The only thing your intention influences here is your feelings about yourself. Which when coupled with an echo chamber gets you the typical righteous totalitarian fever that allows ignoring the costs and risks in favor of the nicely painted frame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToKcmnrE5oY

Please listen to the panicky sounding German, what ever you think you are trying to do here, do it without destroying the acoustic breaks. You not liking the sound they make doesnt mean we can do without them.
I'm complaining that the object I've built will have literal memcpy(3) called on it.
I have a few kubernetes clusters, but nothing really critical or requiring high availability.

I use a mix of terraform, ansible, and kubernetes. I like k3s.

In terms of hardware it’s a mix on on-premise, expensive clouds and cheaper clouds. Provisioning new hardware varies between editing a few lines in a terraform file to talking to a salesperson, waiting days, and physically installing things in a servers room. I much prefer the terraform approach.

Consumer hardware like gaming computers can have a great value and last long enough if you are lucky or good while selecting the components. But I wouldn’t put my SaaS on such hardware. Or at least not the critical workloads.

Overall I wouldn’t recommend a small business to bring everything in house. Engineers at AWS, Microsoft, Google, or Hetzner are kinda better and more experienced than you will ever be to manage computers. But if you find it fun and have enough spare time for that, why not for non critical workloads.

Don't some states have laws that require businesses to accept cash?

> Never ending madness.

[Unicode] didn't start the fire; it was always burning, since the world's been turning.

(I.e. the "never-ending madness" is in the continual desire of human cultures to invent new characters with unique semantics and then have them faithfully digitally encoded in a way that carries those semantics. Being upset that this makes the management of a universal text encoding a never-ending job, is a bit like being upset that the Library of Congress always needs reorganizing and expanding because it keeps getting new books.)

I was born a few years earlier. My mom limited my internet time to 1 hour per day -- which had more to do with keeping us under our allotted ISP hours without getting overages than it did modifying my behavior.

But in hindsight I'm extremely thankful for the limitation. A computer stops being a social channel when it's offline so the hours I spent offline were pretty crucial for me to learn a variety of things - from learning how to code to creating art.

It also really did force me to go outside and learn about the world that way.
But for most companies, they can and do safely ignore GDPR and other EU laws. EU laws do not apply outside the EU... despite what many Europeans want to believe.

You’re right but when did you meet Europeans who said that a company selling in India has to respect GDPR?
You only need to apply EU regulations if you serve EU citizens, or you get either fined or blocked
The culture is "we will fire you even if we don't have to, so we can make record profits". Or slurs like "laptop class". Hard to be excited about that.
Shareholders will replace executives immediately, and I don't think it's far off.

If you think executives are safe from AI, well I think you're crazy.

Imagine saving hundreds of millions a year in executive salaries by hiring a robot that has 1000x better strategic capabilities than you, is 10x cheaper, has absolutely zero empathy, never sleeps, just optimizes for money and just makes the required cold hard decisions ?

Shareholders will go fucking nuts for this.
I don't agree. What Ventoy does is simply enabling the user to do what they have the rights to do already in a more user-friendly way.

Companies seem more keen on worming their way into your life and collecting information about you than making it easier to purchase their products.
It was the same for me. I had access to computers for as long as I can remember, and they had internet access with no restrictions. For the first few years my dad made me use some kind of sandbox so I didn't brick the PC if I downloaded malware on accident, and we would talk about what I was doing and interested in, etc. Time on the computer would be spent playing some learning or creative games we had, eventually discovering online communities and programming. Programming stuck as the most interesting thing to do, I moved from games to modding to learning C++ and reverse engineering and now quite successfully working remotely as a programmer.

But consider: we had no idea what YouTube or Facebook were, there was no Twitter, no TikTok, no Instagram, no Discord, no Reddit, there were no phones with internet in schools.

Times really have changed since then, and I feel like our experience is not that useful to compare with anymore. Every second activity you can do on the phone now is some kind of infinite algorithmic doom scrolling funnel optimized to make it as addictive as possible, to make you view as many stupid ads as possible while learning absolutely nothing.

Worse, social media makes you always available to all your peers so if there is any kind of drama or bullying going on you have no escape anymore, not even at home. I don't have personal experience with it, but I've heard Instagram is particularly terrible at this for teenage girls - due to it showing everyone who interacted with any post, it generates an insane amount of pointless drama and group pressure along the lines of "you didn't like my post in 30 minutes wtf", "you liked that person's post wtf", almost like some cult.

I imagine most people don't want to limit the kids access to technology and learning, but are trying (and likely failing) to protect them from the latter. Even as an adult I sometimes fall for it and chain watch pointless videos or scroll Twitter for hours on end... if that had been available back then, oof.
Britain's Great Tax Con
I understand the argument that you shouldn't need a smartphone for everyday tasks but you can get a perfectly serviceable one for $100-$200 and I feel like this shouldn't be a burden for a college student.
I will just say that it was widely reported that Steve Jobs didn’t let his kids use iPhones and iPads :)
> A great way to see your own work afresh (to read it like a reader) is to deliberately reread your own stuff in slow motion; intensely aware of the order in which the words arrive, and of what they are making happen in your head.

And a great way to facilitate this (which I'm surprised the author didn't mention!) is to change the font in your word processor, or to paste your draft into a different text editing program, or anything else that physically transforms how your draft looks.

When you're doing line edits, adding friction between your words and your eyeballs helps you review each sentence more deliberately; otherwise, it's too easy to glide past the same sentences you've already read a dozen times without considering how they actually sound.
I did, here. Was it not enough info?

Rewritten:
For various reasons, people mistype emails and they usually end up with a no-dotted address. Mine, as the catch-all, gets that mail.

A classic made up example is eg “fred.fredflintstone@gmail”. I have many times received mail for that person because I’m “fred.flintstone@gmail”. People see the double fred, remove the first and hit my account. I also get for “fredtflintstone” (notice the t, many don’t) and this last month “fredrflintstone”. Life would be much easier for all if gmail just bounced those when someone types it as “fredflintstone”. They’d check and fix it.

This is amplified by spam, because any leaks others make hits my account. They should bounce.

This morning I put up a filter to the no dot version. About a month ago someone put my no-dot version on their dodgy Microsoft ads account. I spent ages trying to get off it and somehow Microsoft still hasn’t taken me off. Now I’m just filtering that to deleted, along with mail for all the mistakes above. I’m done. Gmail’s dot policy enables this hugely.

That's not correct.

It's how many profit dollars does it lose.

Most customers are hybrid customers - they will use say, Amazon.com on a desktop and on their phone.

The question is do you want to cater to customers where they're at as that flow changes throughout the day or do you want to force them to come to you?

Obviously it's the first. You want to push your way into their behavior through ubiquity.

You keep it up for the same reason you keep the Denny's open at 3am Christmas morning or you have those 7 Starbucks within a mile radius - there's an important ideological commitment that defines your relationship with the customer as a reliable and accessible partner in their lives. It pays dividends at the macro level even if on the micro level it doesn't seem reasonable.

You're either de facto infrastructure or luxury. Make sure that decision is yours and not the consumers.

As far as what happened to the company, we had some high risk bets in 2020Q1 and bet everything on it and yeah well, pandemic. Shit happens.

Nostr is quite open for what options people use to become more trustable. People can pay couple thousand sats to get a verification, or as you say Nostr can also do the same with shifting to web of existing sources of identity.
E.g. it is well known that this Jack is CEO of Strike (strike.me) and so any nostr client can verify that https://snort.social/p/jack@strike.me is trustable, because it serves his public key here: https://strike.me/.well-known/nostr.json

A production-ready search engine runs off of a lot more than embeddings. They will have special logic to handle all sorts of special cases, as well as reranking models to show the most relevant results at the top. To me this is more of a demo of client-side vector search, which can be useful for other things.
Drop your insistence on a dichotomy of right and wrong and the advice may make more sense.

Most of the time there are lots of ways to do things and there are lots of trade-offs, some humility when addressing others is a useful skill and you will very rarely know for sure that you are right and the other person is entirely wrong.
I have two thoughts:

One is that I love being able to effortlessly program in scripts & source languages I don’t know.

The LLM quickly creates drafts from my requests and assists in my debugging or polishing the code, based on the results as I apply it.

Two, this is the beginning. LLM’s will never be this incompetent again.

Any judgement on them that doesn’t acknowledge that we now have a runaway improvement situation, a best used by date for all limitations, isn’t complete.

Three decades is the longest, most pessimistic, time frame I see for us to be critiquing “their” code in any way. After that, it’s an interesting question if they will be critiquing our code or just trash canning it all.

We are living through one of just a few transformational moments in our universe. So far. Hard to fathom.

How would you say Supercollider is more modern?

To my knowledge, the fidelity of the sounds you can get with Csound far exceed Supercollider. Also, Supercollider has a very restrictive license, preventing its use in basically anything besides small side and school projects, whereas Csound has a very permissive license. I have been doing a fair amount of research along these lines, and although Csound is definitely interesting in the sense of its syntax, it is, as far as I can tell, the most powerful programmatic sound system.

Csound has introduced more real-time features, and you no longer have to rely on a score to make sound. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eacyGKRBpwA

Certainly! Here are some resources that might help you further understand working with SceneKit and textures:

1. *Apple's SceneKit Documentation*: This is the most comprehensive guide and provides examples for almost all aspects of SceneKit.
- [SceneKit Framework](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/scenekit)

2. *Ray Wenderlich Tutorials*: These tutorials cover a wide range of topics and are a great resource for learning SceneKit.
- [SceneKit Tutorial](https://www.raywenderlich.com/2795-scenekit-tutorial-getting...)

3. *CAGradientLayer*: Apple's documentation for generating gradients in layers.
- [CAGradientLayer Documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/quartzcore/cagradi...)

4. *Generating Images from UIView*: You can use this technique to convert your `CAGradientLayer` into a `UIImage`.
- [Create UIImage from UIView](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30696307/how-to-convert-...)

5. *Texture Mapping in SceneKit*: This is specifically about how SceneKit uses textures.
- [Texture Mapping](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Creating_a_Simple_3D_Game_with...)

6. *Online Courses*: Platforms like Udemy and Coursera often have courses that cover iOS 3D programming with SceneKit. Search for "SceneKit" or "iOS 3D programming" to find relevant courses.

Remember to check for the most recent and updated material, as the world of programming is always evolving.

So no, I would no say it doesn’t give links anymore. It’s just, as usual, and as could be expected given how it works, inconsistent.

The 80:20 “rule” is interesting because it’s not a rule, it’s an observation. The Pareto Principle isn’t a law for a reason, because it’s observing the natural result of categorizing data. This medium article was surprisingly good[0] and makes a good point: even if you eliminate those 20% of drivers you won’t see an 80% decrease in accidents because the system as a whole fluctuates daily.

I don’t think anyone came forward with any data in the replies because this distribution is impossible to come up with. Like another commenter pointed out, we all account for those distracted drivers, or tired drivers, or “accident prone” drivers at some point in our lives (possibly many points in our lives). Because of this it’s impossible to remove the 20% of the poorest drivers and have a dramatic increase in road safety.

The only way to fix this system would be to remove all the factors that you listed completely. The easiest way to remove those would be to stop having people drive cars. We won’t know if it’s safer or not until we get there, and it will still have its own 80:20 distributions, just based on different factors (and hopefully to a smaller degree).
