An EV has two power systems, 12V (typically) for the car accessories, and 120V for the drive motors.

And if the 12V system is down, you can’t drive the car (can’t close the contactor that connects the 120V batteries to the system).

So, in theory, you could jump the 12V system so you can engage the 120V system.
Linux's full disk encryption (FDE) is probably good at discouraging evil-maid attacks if used with a passphrase that the user enters every boot.

But you know how Linux is: anyone can add any feature, no matter how bad of an idea it is. What is probably going on is that Linux's secure-boot support is not good enough to allow secure TPM-based FDE, but someone implemented it anyway. (Or it is good enough if you use a unified kernel image, but most Linux installs do not do that:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_kernel_image)

Fedora's installer offers me the chance to turn on full disk encryption, but it does not offer me the option of TPM-based FDE.

>This attack is a big deal because it provides a workaround to full desk encryption.

Security is complicated, and this statement simplifies the situation too much.
Good point. With a 1TB module it's foolish to have a 1TB server. It's wiser to fill all memory slots than having one very large module.

OTOH, a 16TB per socket server would be quite a beast.
This also happens when you are awake though.
I would be far too worried about false-negatives to do that. Especially as they get rarer, and I'd become more confident about loading up images in public.

Big fan of keeping different forms of content separate.
If anything it's underhyped, in that the technology will be foundational to how we do work and sort through tremendous data volumes in the future. The pushback is simply that these giant companies haven't found any clear way to monetize primary LLMs as a service-- and they won't, because open-source models are improving at a breakneck pace and hardware requirements (and thus cost) is dropping due to community development.

Ultimately I don't see those primary LLMaaS offerings being particularly profitable. Secondary LLM applications are a completely different matter. For example, LLMs acting as medical scribes, sitting in your doctor's office and filling out your chart, handling a job that formerly required a skilled human. That sort of thing will make tons of money. It just probably won't use Azure/Amazon/Google LLMs to do it.
Reminds me of an anecdote about Bell Labs. Someone calculated who the most productive employees were (based on things like patents received), and found that many of them would eat lunch with the same person. That person wasn't individually very productive, but he would always ask thoughtful, compelling questions that in turn made his coworkers measurably more productive.
I have inherited such projects. But it seems like you're talking about code that is no more complex than hello world, as you've quoted, so it wouldn't be too complex to do in any language or framework. Now if you do inherit a larger project that you don't like, well, you either work on it or you switch jobs.
Anyone remember eagle mode: https://sourceforge.net/projects/eaglemode/ I remember playing with this in Windows XP days (perhaps even earlier). I think a lot of people assumed the window paradigm would eventually evolve, but it hasn't really.
The example seems to be in between (it's an illustration based around variance in series of dice rolls). But the principle of insurance is pooling risk rather than the distribution of risk: (and a Lloyd's syndicate bailing out a natural disaster looks a lot like a few big winners paying for many small losers)

The principle of a few big winners pay for many small losers is pretty well understood in other areas too: it underpins Sand Hill Road as well as the social insurance of welfare states....
I don't like this much - somewhat vague romantic sentimentalism under a heading of "craft".

I don't consider recognising trees as craft... or ride-on mowers as blue-collar... or being afraid of someone on the street at night as recognising the "soon to be broken"... or that "cadence" is a safety measure. It's often the reverse, cadence suggests not stopping when safety/quality is often about anyone being able to stop the line.

As for the "family fixer"... I've known a few and the motivation has not been craft but as an emotional escape. Sit down and talk to your family? Nope, time to rehang all the pictures on the wall. I can recognise their panicked scan of their environment, desperately looking for something that could need attention. I think we often see "craft" type justifications for unnecessary work in software teams that are really avoidance of something more aversive.

Where I find the "fixer" perspective interesting, it's understanding that the world is mutable and that you have the power to change it. It's a more natural human instinct to accept things that are causing a problem. It's not even lazinesses holding people back, it's not seeing the possibilities.
WordPad was always useful to read RTF files, which used to be pretty common. I guess they have been replaced by PDFs at this stage.

Would still be nice if Windows had some sort of basic word processor, as WordPad had functionality that many users would still find useful, basically just fonts and headings.
SpaceX to launch satellites for Apple's iPhone SOS feature
I'm sorry I have seen the thread leads, and I cannot agree with them and think the replies do not get enough notice.

Right to repair should be a full set of instructions for "everything" are available.

That's it. Give the full specs for everything. If it's code reliant(which wtf), what does it require to work?

That's. Fucking. It. We give you rules to say peeps cannot sell what you made, you make it so we can repair it.

If you don't like it, sell fucking service.
Jump start? Pfft.
The stupid car, got stuck with AC stuck on full heat, with a blacked out screen.
Unresponsive to resets.
I couldn't even open the damm frunk to remove the fuses, yeah okay I don't carry a 12v battery around with me to jump the frunk.(how difficult is it to give damm manual overrides for critical stuff) It was a rental so no access to Tesla app.
Tesla Customer service refused to help, since it's a rental

Tesla is a smart phone with wheels that can't make calls.
It's great while it works but it is as dangerous as it can be once things go wrong.
This car must be banned. It scarred me enough to keep me away from other EVs too which put all the controls in a screen. There is no excuse for EVs to have everything electrically controlled.
Oh yeah, I take caution, but believe me, I'm no stranger to being locked out by an inoperable 12v system.

Regarding the topic of the original post, it is infuriating to try to figure out which fuses do what in this car. It is information that is simply not provided.
No normal person can repair a Tesla, it’s basically a trade secret. My brother is a mechanic and servicing Teslas are a non starter due to the complexity. The notion that I can just download a manual, buy some parts and DIY my own repairs is absolutey ludicrous.

The only reason for Tesla to support right to repair is to increase regulatory burden on competitors, stunt innovation and raise costs for their competition. Shame on this anticompetitive behaviour.
I think semantic zoom will play an important role with AR/VR. The physical world has a lot of opportunities to zoom with overlayed semantic info.
Took them long enough, honestly it was bizarre how long it took them.

Even worse was how resizing the notepad window would introduce newlines into the text if you saved it.

> It's how many profit dollars does it lose.

I think it would still would be likely close to zero. The ride share concept generally relies on easy booking from a mobile location. So a huge % of your revenue would come from mobile just by the very nature of the service.

You may have some (probably a very small) percentage of users who prefer desktops, but of that desktop preference group most would simply opt to use mobile in lieu of a desktop app if it was not available. That would leave a tiny fraction who would simply not use the service at all. Their potential revenue minus the cost to maintain a desktop platform is what is lost. Quite honestly, I’d wager that you would barely break even in the cost to dev/maintain a desktop version vs the revenue specific to service that “only will book by desktop ever” use case.
Guys just because central banks hold gold does not mean you use it in everyday transactions.
I just started a 5-hour a week gig and I am addicted. Imagine being paid for the hours you put in. Imagine not being yelled at or ridiculed or told to figure it out if what you're asked to do is ambiguous or makes no sense. Imagine being able to bill time adding questions to tickets to train ticket writers to write better tasks. And the kicker for me: imagine all the time you'd spend working on your craft in your own free time to better yourself and learn new skills now imagine using that time to do all those things and learn all those things but being able to get paid for it while working on jobs/tasks for a client.

Contracting is amazing.
I’d rather pay $2,000 less for my Honda HR-V than get a solar roof. But I agree it seems like a very nice option for those willing to pay more for their vehicles.
Thanks! Yeah, you can certainly use Ilograph for C4. To see one layer at a time (the common way C4 is shown), set the detail slider, in top-right of the app [0], all the way to the left (low detail).

For those reading just the headline and not the article, it's not talking about the U.S. military downsizing budget-wise, but how they're investing more in smaller-size combat drones, which per-unit might be considered cheap, cheaper than a tank or UAV at least.

There's a lot of sci-fi speculating, and in theory, swarms of thousands of small drones sounds like it has a lot of potential, but as far as I can tell, still just seems like a lot of speculation.

Larger drones have played a role in modern warfare for decades, and we've seen homespun videos of Ukrainian consumer drones dropping simple explosives on sleeping Russian soldiers, but the efficacy of tiny drones seems questionable.

I'd be interested in what someone who actually understands modern warfare thinks about these tiny drones and the role they'll fill.
Managers don't stay in the same role long enough to have their productivity measured.

I’m thinking larger than 4TB. There’s still just the 8TB Samsung QVO available in the consumer space. You are right that prices have improved.

They have their own toolkit - VCL - which has GTK and Qt backends for Linux, and a native Windows backend for Windows.

How would coming up with good metrics for "management" be any easier than coming up with good metrics for "programming"?

At least programming has some verifiable realities that can be witnessed objectively by multiple observers. Not that such things are often used on "metrics", but they could be.

The quality of someone's management is hard to assess from outside, much less objectively verify. Has your manager increased or decreased your productivity today? Was it necessary that they do so for a larger goal you're not considering? Were they just power tripping?
They also never made sense after May 2020 at the latest, when it was clear to the well-informed that surface spread was not a significant vector (nor were droplets, only aerosols).
>Notepad aim for killing Notepad++ and other complex editors

That seems unlikely when Microsoft is already investing so much in VSCode.
Yep, and it's pretty nice. However, he talks about important things that weren't in Flash, like accessibility, and how to handle them cleanly.

It really seems like WASM will be the write once run everywhere runtime that was touted in the past. Java almost got us there but was too dependent on Java, whereas WASM is for any language. I've been using Flutter with their experimental web WASM support and it's very fast.
I have to counter yet again, apologies. :) SBIRs yes are considered grants, but I've seen the same phenomenon for e.g. CRADAs and OTAs. Functionally this is all similar: we find them often on bad gov websites, and an automated tool to track changes can greatly help many companies to win them.
> Notepad aim for killing Notepad++ and other complex editors.

Won't ever happen. For it to even have a chance, it would need to have syntax highlighting, which Microsoft will never add.
Even more amazing are the apps that require updates to run, yet they fail to display any meaningful 'you should update' message; instead, they abruptly crash with a catch () {throw new Exception("An error occurred");}.
What's the status of cancellable promises in proposal land?
The article is exploring the idea of moving away from large, multi-year, multi-billion platforms (like aircraft carriers). And it is doing so from the lens of most-effective warfighting capabilities, not from a budget reduction mindset.
this is the ignorance that drives these silly headlines. building these things is very hard. theres all kinds of crazy solvents and adhesives. the pack is structural. the product that tesla builds is fundamentally not well suited to repair or modification and tesla isnt under any obligation, on any level, to prioritize people who like to imagine they could repair or build a tesla over building the most excellent and sophisticated product possible. tesla is singlehandedly responsible for the EV explosion and they have earned the right to do what they want.
That was not the question though. The question was the difference between fast and non-fast charging.

To get a good comparison we need to do wired fast vs wired non-fast, then wireless fast vs wireless non-fast.
For me it means "no longer stranded" but I get the point. To explain the semantic ambiguity in my head, I find that ICE vehicles needing a jump often have a voltage so low (or that the battery pack or donor vehicle I'm using is anemic enough) that they need to be charged the same way, or the dead battery disconnected to allow the other battery to turn the starter motor.
I dislike the just-so aspect of these sort of stories. I'd expect exceptional programmers to do unusually well on most metrics.

But that is balanced by the threat of people trying to use metrics to measure developer productivity. It doesn't seem to be possible, any metric falls apart. If people are focusing on a metric, the greats aren't going to be leading any more. It'll be some junior who has misunderstood the system and has accidentally trained themselves to game metrics.

Metrics do not drive good software. Repeatable processes love metrics. Repeatable software suggests bad development practices because that is a big hint of a library or bigger opportunity that nobody on the ground properly identified.
"Hey, boss who can fire me, I just thought you should know that we on the team have started keeping metrics. I want you to know that your 'times you made the only girl on the team uncomfortable with a sexist joke' metric is unusually high this month, and your 'unblocked the team by speeding up an external request' metric is 0 for this month, down from 3 times last month"

Let me know if you find any downsides.

Anyway, management will of course argue that developers under them are incapable of seeing everything management does. After all, management's job is to shield developers from other managers, so if the developers think all the managers at the company are worthless, that's actually a sign of how well management did their job of shielding each other's teams from each other.
OR and this might sound crazy, if they can render the cost onto the customer's bill, they can damn well list the components that went into that bill to begin with.
/var and / are odd choices (unless you are doing that for ephemeral containers), but in some setups I've done that with /var/log (mostly embedded SDCard machines with log shipping, where I'd prefer to avoid non-essential writes). When you do that it's good to set up some swap and start rotating logs as soon as you see swap usage.

On environments with log shipping, having /var/log as a tmpfs makes a lot of sense.
>What does a W3W tell you?

I'll bite. Using it as intended, both as a service and a physical coordinator (via 3 text chars), reveals a location with 3mx3m bounded precision. No other options exist that provide a solution to "where's the thing" without losing this key precision boundary.
Ask HN: You have $200k to spend on maximising future earnings, how to spend it?

IANAL, but...

- "Royal Ransomware's web site is bragging that they stole employee data from XYZ Corp." might trigger some legal obligation for XYZ Corp...but my bet would be "nope, sorry, there has to be real evidence that that's true".

- If there is decent evidence that RR actually did steal your data (from XYZ Corp), then "What legal obligation...?" depends upon the jurisdiction.

- Whatever the "what obligations?" answer might be, it's a completely separate question to ask "what are the consequences, from my PoV, if they failed to do as they were obligated to?". And again dependent on jurisdiction.
It’s not a perfect system clearly but we used the 3-word code when I worked in forestry because everyone needed to memorize some kind of coordinates for emergencies requiring evacuation from our camp but nobody had a GPS or a map just an old beat up sat phone kept in the glove box

The words we had were pretty good ones something like banana-sink-trampoline I don’t remember now but using UTC or lat-long would definitely have been harder to memorize

If you get a bad set of three words it’s not so hard to choose a neighbouring set if I remember the grid was pretty fine grained I think our foreman “shopped around” for a nice easy set somewhere on the nearby logging road reasonably close to us
I'll try my best attempt at a steel man: It can be a useful way to convey location information via language (spoken or written word), when there isn't a direct digital connection between sources. That's genuinely a non-negligible use case.

So if you see an advertisement for a restaurant at giant.purple.monkey, you can get there. Or maybe you're coordinating plans on a non-smartphone call. Or you could put the location on flyers (a QR code could work, but lots of people hate those). Or you're dictating a location to a smart assistant (Mercedes-Benz did a partnership, and AFAIK the in-car assistant accepts W3W locations; I don't know for sure though, I use android auto in mine; disclaimer: I work at MB).

In practice there are problems with plurals, homophones, and other similar pronunciations (did he say heavy.monkey.dress (near SF) or heavy.monkeys.dress (near LA)). I think realistically W3W is almost never the best option, but I do quite like the idea. Maybe if they did a better job filtering words to avoid collisions, and made it 4 words? I imagine it could actually be a pretty memorable way to describe a location if it were something like adjective.noun.adjective.noun, and with fewer near-collisions in the library (heavy/heady).
You can’t really say that for a single data point. The 0.3 may be completely correct. Now, if you try ten times, things might be different.
Speak for yourself ;-) I want this.
No normal person can cast an ICE header.

Same logic.
> Without it, you would get heavily populated states like New York and California dictating policy for the rest of the country.

With it, we have tyranny of the ignorant.

Ignorant is maybe too mean, but if I had to use one catch all word that can apply to policies (not necessarily people), esp regarding things like transgender care, abortion and climate change, I think it fits.
It's fun when the icon of the program I am running wouldn't fit in the 48K of RAM of my first desktop computer.

I think the biggest problem with Tesla is access to parts, much of the process (minus the computer bits) are easy to reverse engineer.
It certainly is for some.

You are correct - it allows consumers to know the message has not been tampered.

The downside of your trust model is permission. Facebook and Twitter may revoke your permission to use “your” identity at any time, for any reason.

Requiring ID verification for a rented online identity is a terrible trend imo. These companies are not to be trusted - they exploit users and inevitably sell your data or get breached.

> I don't understand the ISP objection

American ISPs operate under a confuseopoly paradigm of customer interaction. A confused customer is more likely to shut down and just pay the fees they don't understand.

Forcing companies to enumerate each item that goes into the cost will allow customers to determine just how shitty a value proposition those ISPs are offering. These companies have been in full damage control mode for years, having earned themselves positions of significant scorn in the US already.
