Making a Hollywood Car Chase with RC Cars [video]
About half of all gas stations along the Autobahn are also "rest stations" with a parking lot and restaurant. Of course one of their big demographics are truckers who stop there for their mandatory rest periods. That also means that during the day there's often also a lot of surplus capacity for extended stops.
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, so this wouldn't matter. If they're not making money in jail they can't pay their rent, even if they have autopay set up.

Yes, 100% sure because we weren't discussing any specific apps.

We were discussing in-app purchases in games and how it is unethical of Apple to encourage such kind of games on the App Store simply because they make more money for them. Suddenly I find Apple is promoting the "buy / pay once" (don't remember the exact PR campaign) games on the App Store. (What an amazing co-incidence!). It was, I am sure, one of the many PR campaigns created - after spying on people through Siri - to get people to actually buy apps on the App Store instead of only using the free apps. (I am one of the few who has never been attracted to giving Apple App Store mine or my mom's CC as India has so many better digital payment options that better protect our rights legally, and am loathe to the whole concept of "App Store").

There were two more incidents like this when we were subjected to very specific Apple PR campaign that were very suspiciously based on conversations I had with some Apple fans in my family (the kind who immediately call me up to find out when I am going abroad next so that I can buy them the latest iDevice).
This is is a state law, not a federal one. As far as I understand it is limited to 2 months. Just a clarification, not a justification. It was a somewhat controversial law, and I think those cases clearly show why. Those laws always get justified with terrorism, and now they're jailing people that block traffic.

I don't think such laws should exist, and we should do better there. Unfortunately I don't expect that with the Bavarian politic landscape this will happen on the legislative way.
Solomonoff's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomonoff%27s_theory_of_induc... is about as basic to the theory of intelligent agents as anything gets.

Well, Baudrillard said that all of reality is already a simulation, since everything has been replaced by symbols representing those things. Therefore, surely all of the things you say about the internet also apply to, say, eating a nice dinner from vegetables you grew yourself?

Hyperreality isn't just about brands or explicit simulations. Remember that Baudrillard says the map covers the entire territory: there isn't some corner of human life that we can retreat to. The Real has already been surpassed, never to be returned to. I suppose you disagreed with that aspect of the book you recommended?
> AB 587 thus mandates X Corp. to speak about sensitive, controversial topics about which it does not wish to speak in the hopes of pressuring X Corp. to limit constitutionally-protected content on its platform that the State apparently finds objectionable or undesirable.

Except that it doesn't: being compelled to produce evidence of your policies (which the law doesn't even require exist) isn't the same thing as being compelled to adopt a position. The law stipulates the former, not the latter.

As a framing: when the EPA compels a corporation to produce an environmental impact statement, they're not compelling the corporation to assume a position on the environment or anthropogenic climate change. Being asked to produce internal policies on hate speech, etc. similarly doesn't compel any particular opinion on Twitter's part.

> My understanding is that what can be compelled is pretty limited (e.g. facts in advertising, ingredients, etc.), it’s not a blanket precedent for the state to ask you to produce anything at any time.

We're talking about factual materials that neither party disputes. Every state in the US has a complex web of transparency laws that compel companies to produce all kinds of information for reasons of public interest; this case is no different.

Examples: Salary & pay transparency laws, board and LLC transparency laws, etc.

Can’t read the source article, we’re anti terror laws used for these arrests? Or have German police long had these sort of powers?

I guess their activities fall under some weak definition of terrorism, intimidation against civilians in pursuit of political aims.
Most new employees and new job openings, would be correct formulation. German job market is very static.
Error handling? What error handling? Corner cases, what corner cases?
The software industry still suffers greatly from the decisions made in UNIX. Only the SUID bit caused so much trouble. It’s crazy to this that we still have /usr/bin, /home and /bin only because the original UNIX machine had 3 disks in the system. Bazaar wins, I guess.

It's a dense read to be sure, but no more dense than any of the hard-to-read continental philosophers such as Hegel[1] or Ricœur[2].

My gist is that the author is basically saying that the category of girl is experiencing a cataphatic expansion - that is to say it's expanding in positive definite terms. It's also saying that this is a good thing and that it should be accelerated[3][4].

It's clear the author is well read enough to hint at ideas which such velocity that it overwhelms the reader. For example, I'm quite certain that the author would feel right at home talking about the category of girl in terms of reterritorialization a la Deleuze and Guattari[5]. But, the author never explicitly makes this connection.

Like nearly all philosophical works, it draws from, reapplies, or is a response to existing works. It doesn't go out of its way to tell you what they are - it expects you to be familiar enough with the topic that you can discern that from content and context.

I think it's easy to criticize the piece as being not accessible, but also, maybe the target audience (which the author assumes familiarity with) doesn't overlap with the population of HN readers. I don't think it's a stretch to say that author would see programming concepts as equally incomprehensible and requiring a foundation found elsewhere.

Back to summarizing the piece, the author write after a series of specific points "Living as “male” is to live in horror of ever being a girl." Going back to the point of the "category of girl is experiencing a cataphatic expansion," you can see how "male" is being defined apophatically[6] - that is to say, by negation.

The author combines this positive definition of girlness with the question "What is being rewarded by online platforms?" and arrives at the intermediate conclusion that the manipulation of desire(my words) is rewarded.

The piece then goes on to question, are the girls subject to the influence of platforms or can they wield this power to achieve goals?

Finally, I'm reserving the right to be completely wrong about my interpretation of this. I'm not exactly holding this interpretative view very strongly.

[I'm not an expert is spectroscopy, but let me guess.]

The bump at 4.3um looks real, and it seams to be an standard absorción of CO2. https://www.quora.com/Does-CO2-absorb-all-infrared-frequenci...

The bump at 1.2, 1.4 and 2.4um looks real. I found this showing a peak for CH4 at 2.325um. http://www.astrochem.org/data/CH4H2O.php

[Sorry for the sources, but I'm not an expert is spectroscopy.]

My guess is that they assumed something like

a% * CH4 + b% * CO2 + c% * H2O + others

and get the best fit for a%, b%, c%, ... using the white points. Later, using these numbers they draw the blue line.

The peak for DMS is not clear for my untrained eye, so I can't guess what they did there. (Perhaps it's just the best fit.) It would be nice to see the a graph of the blue line they guessed with DMS and a superimposed red line with and atmosphere with an alternative atmosphere where the DMS is replaced with something uninteresting (N2? H2O? More CH4? I have no idea what is uninteresting here.)
My freezing teenager ass didn't care about the best way to warm up the car! I only cared about the fastest way to get the heat running!

This part is frequently lost on people. Bell labs developed a multi-user operating system that supported multiple people logged in at the same time on a machine with 64 kilowords (144kB) of storage.

Later development was done on a machine that supported a max of 4MB of memory and had to allow for hundreds of simultaneous logins. Keeping the code compact was a high priority, even over usability in some cases.
It's entirely defensible, in that I don't consider most people who used to have/could've had a USSR passport to be doctrinaire communists, or even in a position to make policy. The # of people who were politically committed Russians in the mid-80's who are even alive now is vanishingly small. It was always a gerontocracy.

Likewise, in 1986 there were close to 500,000 KGB employees. How many of them do you think were in leadership positions then, that are also in leadership positions in the FSB/GRU now?
That's corporate, mostly. But this is changing a bit, there are more private lease constructs but they are quite expensive compared to just owning the car.
And now with Chrome as the dominant browser and the launch of F̶L̶o̶C̶ Topics, Google has strategically and systemically cemented it's position as the only entity who can effectively track individual user behavior.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_Learning_of_Cohorts

I feel like a huge sucker accepting and taking up Chrome back in 2009. It isn't a huge shock they'd eventually want to extract and harvest "the value". It's the exploitative nature of the capitalist cycle.

I remember thinking at the time it was suspicious to use a browser from an advertising company, but looking back in hindsight, you've gotta hand it to 'em - the bait was pretty good.. fast, performant, and reliable. No other browser engine had this.
Even today, I primarily use Firefox on desktop, but with many tabs and windows open it's slower than Chrome. I'm even typing this from Brave on mobile..
> is there a department of immunology that takes over or even contributes.

Because we don't see the immune system as the organ it is. Which is odd that things like vaccines are effectively medicines for that organ.

But at the end of the day we still don't know 'that much' about the immune system because of its extreme complexity. It's still very difficult or impossible to target a bad acting immune response in an individual without disabling all the immune system (and yea, this puts you at a lot of risk).

I like the series that Kurzgesagt made on the immune system as a way to explain this complexity a little more simply.

Its possible there is a good explanation for why there would be no strong fossil record[0] for an advanced civilization preceding us.

>When it comes to direct evidence of an industrial civilization—things like cities, factories, and roads—the geologic record doesn’t go back past what’s called the Quaternary period 2.6 million years ago. For example, the oldest large-scale stretch of ancient surface lies in the Negev Desert. It’s “just” 1.8 million years old—older surfaces are mostly visible in cross section via something like a cliff face or rock cuts.

While I think its highly unlikely (I mean less than 0.00001% possible) the means in which we would could even detect it are complicated

To be honest, I’m more and more going back to piracy for this exact reason. Most of the time, it’s the only option to truly own an unlocked sequence of bytes in a standard format.

It’s such a shame. I’d gladly pay for movies if they gave you some DRM free file but as afaik, this still doesn’t exists.
You can yeah. With Apple’s older frameworks, you could use either though. It just shows that they’re gradually moving away from ObjC
And look just how many people support it.
let's not be silly. just put it in the attic so each room is covered centrally. you may need a higher wattage microwave though.
They are not political prisoners. They committed federal crimes while live-streaming it and the government has presented the evidence. It just so happens that the amount of evidence they generated while committing crimes overloaded the DOJ’s capacity to collect and organize it (both prerequisites for discovery by the defendants before they can build their defense).

There have been a few defendants who have successfully challenged the speed of the trial and courts have let them off. It’s far more likely that the DOJ attorneys are simply overwhelmed with the prosecution than they are purposefully persecuting the arrested.

> According to the George Washington Program on Extremism, the FBI has arrested 940 people in connection to January 6. Of those, 43 were convicted, 481 pleaded guilty, and 382 are still waiting for trial. Most of the people waiting are out on bail. [1]

It so happens that the defendants all committed crimes on the same day, causing a backlog in prosecution work. It also happens that DC is a strange jurisdiction that requires coordination between federal officers of different departments (Capitol Police, Parks Police, Secret Service, etc) in a town that must get all funding passed through Congress, which is functionally broken most of the year.

Terrible example of time-to-trial problems in the US, which is actually a significant issue, even in well funded jurisdictions.

EV demand is held back by charging infrastructure. And we can’t keep letting the market decide when it does not account for climate change.

And it’s not exactly “hell” to live in Germany. In fact, I don’t know why gas stations being forced to install EV chargers would affect life quality at all.
The thing there is that the Pi offers excellent hardware and software support. My attempts to use alternatives (and I got started with Odroid very early on, some eight years ago) were all flaky - even though Armbian is a good hint that things will work, sometimes they just don’t.
I still use an iPad Air 2 (from 2014) and every year I look at the new iPad coming out, think about upgrading, and just don't see a point. It's stuck on iOS 15 so I might finally be forced to upgrade to a device because of that eventually, but otherwise it does a perfectly adequate job of everything I want out of an iPad nearly 9 years later.
I assume so, yeah. The "Last Generation" is a loosely organized activist group that has been making headlines in the country for the past months, and by my understanding these were known associates/members of the org. One of their things to do is to glue themselves down in places to hinder others, think at events, on streets, tracks, airfields, etc.

I don't know if there was concrete evidence of past crimes/actions for them. By my reading, Bavarian state law does not require this. In some other States, it is listed as one of the conditions to meet or "likely to repeat" is somehow baked into the lingo.
Sure, but if you're looking to have a dialog with the corporation about it, bringing specific actionable feedback is going to be met better than petulant foot stomping.

Honey vs vinegar, and all.
Is an L3 charger cheaper to install than a gas pump?

(Side note, I actually wish EV charging stations tried to be less like gas stations)
Specifically: in Bavaria. Which is, of course, in Germany, but also a bit of a "state within a state", ruled by one party (the CSU) since the beginning of time, er, of the Federal Republic of Germany, and where things like this, which would cause much more outrage elsewhere, can and do happen.
Sounds like a bill made by misinformed politicians.

The future of EV charging is that every parking spot is a charging spot. Almost all charging will be destination charging.

Even the small amount of charging needed in the middle of a long trip will be done differently - nobody wants to spend 30+ mins in a gas station. The design of the station need to also be different, more like a Tesla supercharger which essentially located inside parking lots.
We replaced expansionist policy with children inheriting wealth.

It's not a soothing platitude for the next generation, that the most they can work towards is inheriting their father's achievements.

Let's be honest, if we've come this far down the 'argument heirarchy' for growth and expansion, we know things are bad.
Re fox: Fox is so pro-trump that they are in court for claiming election fraud and all their internal messages are now public and you can read them discussing how they must support trump even over them not believing his claims.

There is often delight expressed when someone pastes something from chatgpt that is actually factually correct, but this is because we marvel at the statistical chances, not because we believe chatgpt groks the subject!

One of the more important lessons I have learned in life is that what people want are expressed through their actions, which are often not the same as what is expressed through words. People may desire or want privacy, but they don't care about it enough to not use devices and software.

For example, if you do something so benign as use an Iphone, you don't care about privacy. Monitor all the network traffic that iPhone sends back to apple if you want to see why. Apple absolutely tracks all the stuff that you do on your device. Thats not privacy.
It does not, since most of those APIs are not directly called from the framework. What react and most other JS frameworks do is DOM modification (which is clearly sync) and delegate events (which is usually done via callbacks or binding).
Claiming that the creator of LISP did not have a significant impact on AI is not a defensible position.
