It's very different, but similar in many ways. The closest thing that I currently consume to them is the youtube content from the Vlog Brothers, Hank and John Green. They don't talk about cars, but they do have a similar back and forth. Their format is a bit different, they each have channels where they publish weekly videos to eachother. They are basically formatted as little video diary posts to eachother. They've done an amazing job of sharing their humanity and helping others with theirs. Recently Hank has gone through Cancer treatment and thankfully remission, they've shared that whole experience in a very human, wholesome way. They also work to fight for things like tuberculosis treatment in Africa, etc.
Uh, hold on. That's not what's meant by intentionality. No one is talking about what a machine intends to do. In philosophy, and specifically philosophy of mind, "intentionality" is, briefly, "the power of minds and mental states to be about, to represent, or to stand for, things, properties and states of affairs" [0].

So the problem with this guy's definition of intentionality is, first, that it's a redefinition. If you're interested in whether a machine can possess intentionality, you won't find the answer in interpretivism, because that's no longer a meaningful question.

Intentionality presupposes telos, so if you assume a metaphysical position that rules out telos, such as materialism, then, by definition, you cannot have "aboutness", and therefore, no intentionality of any sort.

Ah, but time travel (or rather, prediction, but I’m being whimsical here) is the essence of intelligence. Working off your current state and inputs your mind peers forward in time to imagine the ghost of the future, and echoes of this future ripple back to drive your actions.
It seems to me the status quo (the energy density of fuel) is far beyond anything EVs can do and is the better idea right now.

If we need to offer more efficiency beyond that, improving rail transportation is probably more realistic than EV infrastructure.
It's better to say SABRE replicated, in digital form, that card file. And even today the legacy of that card form defines SABRE and all the wrappers and gateways to it.
I'm happy to believe that iTunes on NT is terrible, but the missing datapoint is whether iTunes on Darwin is also terrible. That is - is it a badly supported platform, or is iTunes just awful?
The algorithm as described in the blogpost is probably not implemented as a straightforward piece of procedural code that goes step by step through the input flightplan waypoints as described. It may be implemented in a way that incorporates some abstractions that obscured the fact that this was an input error.

If from the code’s point of view it looked instead like a sanity failure in the underlying navigation waypoint database, aborting processing of flight plans makes a lot more sense.

Imagine the code is asking some repository of waypoints and routes ‘find me the waypoint where this route leaves UK airspace’; then it asks to find the route segment that incorporates that waypoint; then it asserts that that segment passes through UK airspace… if that assertion fails, that doesn’t look immediately like a problem with the flight plan but rather with the invariant assumptions built into the route data.

And of course in a sense it is potentially a fatal bug because this issue demonstrates that the assumptions the algorithm is making about the data are wrong and it is potentially capable of returning incorrect answers.

A mathematical function isn't a mechanism. It has no causal power.
Thanks. I didn't have the patience to read it all. I initially hoped that the author was a field expert or even someone with inside knowledge, but he is apparently from a completely different domain and not in the UK, and there were assumptions about things the report was rather specific about (as specific as such reports usually are). It would be more useful if people would take a closer look at the report and draw the right conclusions about organizational failures and how to avoid them. All the great software technologies to achieve memory safety, etc. are of little use if the analyses and specifications are flawed or the assumptions of the various parties in a system of systems do not match. But people seem to prefer to speculate and argue about secondary issues.

Author here. This was actually something that puzzled me too. There must have been many steps between "Want to carry my coffee with me" and "Let's stuff it in a can" that I wasn't clear about. So I did some more digging (but didn't put this in the post because I thought it'd make it very long).

I don't have the definitive answer, but a few things to consider:

- The bottles might have been resealable, but you would have to be worried about leaks for as long as you had the bottle with you. FWIW, the bottles from that time looked like this: https://www.townnews.co.jp/0607/images/a001046055_01.jpg

- Someone going on a long-distance train might not be able to bring the bottle back to the same station

- The store at a different station might not take the bottle from you since shops usually pay a bottle deposit to their suppliers and own the (fungible) bottle

- In many countries with bottled drinks the store charges you a bottle deposit that's much more expensive than the drink. Perhaps the frugal CEO did not want to pay that.

- Or even if he wanted to, did not have the time for that transaction given the train started pulling away
Neat! This reminds me of This Is My Jam [0] that ran from 2011 to 2015 I think. It was basically the same idea, but you shared the tracks that you liked right now (and you could only share one track a week) which is an interesting twist. I miss it sometimes – maybe Loopy will fill that niche to me :-)

One feature request outright, if I may: Bandcamp has lots of music I love personally, so if Loopy supported it that would be great!

Failing over is correct because there's no way to discern that the hardware is not at fault. They should have designed a better response to the second failure to avoid the knock-on effects.
Very impressive! Curious what the frame rate would be like for stereoscopic rendering of the same scene on the same hardware. Are there optimizations to be had past the halfway mark?

you're right. inclusion/intersection/etc. aren't actually computed via DFA but instead are computed directly on the regular expression representation itself. and large disjunctions (with 256 branches) are what is very heavy.

(it's possible to instead do these operations on DFAs but at the time i found it hard to get from an automata back to a reasonable-looking regular expression.)

Many regular users wouldn't care regardless. To the contrary, some might ask why we need another big proprietary browser option at all. If the answer is merely "to appease Apple users on other platforms", the outcome will probably be similar to the last time Safari went cross-plat.

I got no horse in this race -- I like both Golang and Rust and use them for different things -- but as far as I can tell, Golang's GC has improved a lot.

Not sure where does it stand on a global competition rating board (if there's even such a thing) but it's pretty good. I've never seen it crap the bed, though I also never worked at the scale of Twitch and Discord.
Yes, we would listen for hours, sometimes all day and night.

Although not starting with VB, there's also QBASIC, as well as another BASIC dialect I believe Microsoft bought in their early days. QBASIC isn't a drastically different language than Visual Basic, VB just added graphical components.

Cool way of putting it. Let's run with that. A good actor can be seen as instantiating a Boltzmann Brain while on stage -- especially when improvising (as always may be needed). Maybe each of us is instantiating some superposition of Boltzmann Brains in everyday life as we wend our way through various social roles...

From now on I'll listen for the subtle popping sounds as these BBs get instantiated and de-instantiated all around me...

Of course a philosopher can object that (1) these BBs are on a substrate that's richer than they are so aren't "really" BBs and (2) they often leave traces that are available to them in later instantiations which again classical BBs can't. So maybe make up another name -- but a great way to think.
I've run it on both. And it's kinda shit on both. But it's really, really shitty on Windows.
With git, yes. When I end up working with programmers who come from using other vcs, I find they are often the ones who don't delete code, or at best comment it out. I encourage them to trust git. It takes effort (barring a system failure out of git's control) to lose code. It can take some digging to find code in the git history, but it's there. Even if you run `git gc`, the objects are still there in the repo, by default. Even in extremis, if the central repo is gone, whoever has the most recent checkout still has history.

With other, older VCS, I have less confidence.

Still? :) Don't get me wrong, I used to use CakePHP as my primary framework 10-15 years ago and loved it, but even then it was starting to lose traction as competition heated up in the PHP space.

How's your experience with CakePHP these days?

Also I am surprised to not see that many people replying with Laravel on this thread.

If we’re signing Apple up for big projects without any discernible benefit, why not shoot for the moon? Apple should release iOS for x86. Makes about as much sense.
Good grief. Here is a thread of currently 58 comments (off the back of a erstwhile top comment no doubt) talking about the effects of a Carrington event. And granted, this is what is mentioned in the title here. But you just need to click on the article title to see that the title continues, with "A “Miyake Event” Would Be Far Worse", and the article goes on to explain how a Miyake event is orders of magnitude worse than a Carrington event.

One may conclude that if our modern society gets hit with such an event it's likely game over, at least as far as modernity is concerned.

That be as it may - this is the second time in a few days that I experience a severe and disappointing lack of interest in the actual linked text. A downside of the karma/gamification aspect here? Is it getting worse?
Bandwidth - was building a VM. A 10GB VM is much more convenient than 40GB one, to move copy, share, run from network drive etc.

And yes, a few older drives are kinda small here. Laptop vendors overcharge on storage so most of ours have a half TB, which goes fast.

We could buy a number of new drives, or we could look up an esoteric CLI and free up 30g.
Does anyone have a desktop shelf unit that happens to be external drive sized? I have, like, three of these and it would be nice to shove them in something that can organize them and their cables. If I was a 3D printer person, I guess I could make something, but then they'd probably overheat.

I've looked in the past, but never found anything. I think one with a built in USB hub so that it was "just one cable" would be a bonus.

I should probably just shut up, stack them, and wrap the cords with those velcro tape organizer things.
I somehow doubt the goal of the people behind Chrome is to make ad-blocking performance better.
Can you expand on that?

One interpretation of "Zionism" could mean the idea that Israel should be an ethnically and religiously Jewish state that comprises the Biblical land of Israel, and that everyone else should be second-class citizens; and so simply saying that Israel should be a democracy that gives equal rights to all the people living within its borders, or that Israel should respect the Palestinian territories, would be "Anti-Zionist". Under this interpretation, "Anti-Zionism questions Israel's existence" really means "Anti-Zionism questions the existence of one particular vision for what Israel should be". That's not really a bad thing.

If, on the other hand, "Anti-Zionist" means the abolishing the Israeli government and re-partitioning the territory back into its pre-1948 states -- I mean, yeah, that's pretty bad; but I've never heard any of my left-leaning friends advocate anything like that, and such a desire would be really incompatible with everything else they're in favor of.

But these are just guesses, since you didn't provide much context.
How so? I think uBO has a pretty nice UX for what I want to do.

Especially like the element picker UI, where you can independantly control what element you want in the hierarchy and also how specific the selector should be.
Thanks. This is very helpful to me. I have weekly migraines. I never thought to attribute it to high blood pressure.

For the record, my blood pressure is not nearly as high, but its typically 140/85 as infrequently measured. I’ve never measured during a migraine, but I will now.
Any def for 'difference and intersection of regexes' might actually mean?

I guess for regexes r1 and r2 this means the diff and intersect of their extensional sets, expressed intensionally as a regex. I guess. But nothing seems defined, including what ^ is, or > or whatever. It's not helpful
Tom Sachs Apologizes for Workplace Culture as His Nike Deal Stalls
I'm wondering if the backup system could have a delayed queue; say, 30 seconds behind. If the primary fails, and exactly 30 seconds later the secondary system fails, you have reasonable assurance that it was queue input that caused the failure. Rollback to the last successful queue input, skip and flag the suspect input, and see if the next input is successful.

Missouri v biden
There are a small and slowly-growing number of firms in Japan at which English is the workplace language. You might want to try researching them first -- not sure if any of them are in the embedded/firmware space, but it's worth a look.

Other than that, if you're serious about living and working in Japan then you should have at least a basic conversational ability in order to get by in everyday life. And if you work at a company whose workplace language is Japanese, then you'll need to have that ability -- probably ahead of time, and probably to at least the N2 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.
Definitely does not sound straightforward given all the things they tested and excluded. It also very atypical and medicating specifically for this would be unusual. That said it sure sounds like it perfectly treats the root problem.

If you have symptoms like Raynauds and POTS (note that POTS can be hard to demonstrate, so may be less convincing to a doctor) then Amlodipine or similar may be helpful. If you take it and you feel lightheaded when standing up, or have trouble with exercise or fatigue, you probably don't need it and it isn't good for you.

You may have more consistently high blood pressure rather than transient spikes if you don't have POTS, or if you don't react immediately to cold temperatures. In that case an angiotensin blocker like Telmisartan may help. It can take weeks to become effective, vs Amlodipine should show effects in just a few days.

If you have high blood pressure then just telling your doctor you want Amlodipine or something will probably be enough- convincing insurance will be harder. Amlodipine can be used off-label for Raynauds. If you don't have particularly high blood pressure and haven't systematically tried to exclude causes it will be harder to convince your doctor. They might let you try it for a bit to see if it helps, and the generic isn't too expensive.
I don't think so, the GDPR requires to ask for consent but nobody is being forced to press the "I consent" button. Additionally I'd guess the website of a German newspaper of record is not breaking the law.

A month or so ago I did a comparison between charging a Chevy Bolt at home, with just a level I charger, and putting gas in a Nissan Versa, Hyundai Elantra, or Kia Forte.

The Bolt will be cheaper per mile if G/E > 9.4, where G = price of gas in $/g, and E = price of electricity in $/kWh

I looked at average gas prices and residential electrical rates in all 50 US stats plus DC, and in all of them G/E > 9.4.

This comment has a table showing G and E for all states and DC at the time [1].

Exactly! The little Visual Basic I saw was always and entangled, manually tested, spaghetti code mess. Devs were productive only at the start of the project and slowed down to a crawl as things got more complex.
One or more of three results can come from the engineering exercise of trying to keep something from breaking in the first place:

1. You could know the solution, but it would be too heavy.

2. You could know the solution, but it would include more parts, each of which would need the same process on it, and the process might fail the same way

3. You miss something and it fails anyway, so your "what if this fails" path better be well rehearsed and executed.

Real engineering is facing the tradeoffs head on, not hand waving them away.
Ask HN: Tech that seems to have vanished?
Main Question: What tech do you remember over the past years that seems to have withered or vanished from the public zeitgeist? (even if it's really just stealth).

Motivation: Was reading "Ian Wilmut, Creator of Dolly the Sheep Dies" [1] today, and realized that Dolly was born back in 1996 (>1/4 century). Yet, I rarely, if ever, read about cloning of any kind until Dolly's creator dies.

Notably, this appears to be a case where the tech is being used, yet not written about very much [2]. The list of species cloned is pages long, yet I have not read about any of these in major news. [3] Cloning hamburger (cattle)? Cloning housepets (canines)? Backup housepets in case Yeller falls in the well (Sooam Biotech, South Korea, was reported in 2015 to have cloned 700 dogs for their owners @ $100k / each)?

Other examples from my own view:

Graphene - First sighted 2004, still cannot buy graphene in any real quantities (cm's for $100's)

Digital/Smart/Bionic Contact Lens - First sighted 2010, apparently existed earlier (1999). A lot of companies have appeared and then failed or pivoted [4] (Mojo Vision being the most recent [5])

Thermal Cameras - I really thought every phone would have a cheap, mass manufacture thermal camera by now, so everybody could do "U so hot" jokes.
