Would we be discussing it here on HN if Google were not named in the suit? Would anyone other than the local newspaper have written about it? Probably not.

But there are currently over 1200 articles on this, including national and international coverage, and that publicity is probably very helpful for the lawsuit.
The UK is no better. Heavy use of aircon, constantly increasing, parents driving their children to school in SUVs/4x4s; large tv screens replacing poster boards, buildings built for the whole purpose of tv advertising (see the two-storey screen walls on the inside and outside of the Outernet buildings near Tottenham Court Road).

Lots of plastic use and one of the burger chains won the stupid award by removing drinking straws and offering a paid reusable metal drinking straw (painted) with a metal cleaning brush, sold in a cardboard box.

No matter how small the item we order online it will arrive wrapped in lots of plastic and cardboard that goes immediately to the landfill.
This is not a "variant". Top-level "message" has no length. Implementations that add length are free to do it in whatever way they like, but that's not part of the format because the format itself doesn't have a concept of "sequence of messages". It has lists, but those need to be inside of messages.

And since some do it in the same way, sometimes it works. The two typical approaches I found in the wild: use varint as a length and do nothing at all. Typically, the second one implies that the user, if they want to send a sequence of messages need to get creative and invent some form of connecting them together.

GRPC is the first kind. So, all those using GRPC rather than straight-up Protobuf are shielded from this problem.

Funny you mention ISO 26262 and somewhat were pointing to the dumpster fire that is Misra-C :D

Eversince ISO 21434 got rolled out, all Tiers are panicking because they need to introduce modern CI/CD pipelines that work with source verification. Simple things like generating an SBOM become impossible because even the Tiers that sold you their software don't have the source code themselves and just redistribute binaries from another Tier down the line.

I am somewhat a strong opponent of using C for these kind of areas because in the automotive industry I learned the hard way that these firmwares are pretty much the definition of unmaintainable.

Sometimes Tiers even cannot compile their own software anymore because they lack licenses of old Vektor DaVinci versions, and they literally have deals with Vektor where they send zip files and an excel spreadsheet that reflects the dependencies of kernel modules, and a _person_ not a program sends back the compiled firmware.

I always get so confused by the naming between Matrix and Element. I get that Element is the client, but I honestly thought that the name Matrix for the server (or is it just the standard for the protocol?) was sunset.

The thing I’m confused about from the article is that, if I read it correctly, the temple was found a few miles from the coast. Did the Nike delta use to extend that far? Or what? That seems to be pretty far.
Yes, this captures my feeling too. It feels like an evil problem. It's not just misaligned incentives, though they do play a role.

I would love to find a name for this type of dynamic. I don't have words for the issue, and feel like I could communicate it more easily to others if I did.
>would have good ties with such a nation

Nation states will happily lever anyone they can exploit. As China ascends out of the "cheap labour" stage, and starts to become formidable on its own, everyone is looking at India as the next "China 30 years ago" -- lot of cheap exploitable labour. "Good ties" is quite a reach.

I mean...India should have been the "China 30 years ago" 30 years ago, but exactly the corruption I mentioned is why it wasn't. Defensiveness by Indians doesn't change this fact.

>They applied the same logic that you used in your original comment

They applied boorish, childish sophistry of busted logic out of defensiveness. I said that India's GDP is disastrous despite massive advantages. Replying "Well someone else has a good GDP therefore they something something" is just tired nonsense.

The "oh gosh this must be satire" tactic has always been incredibly lame.
Exploring the lunar South Pole: Lessons from Chandrayaan-3
Same. The more busy and more I have to multi-task and/or manage multiple long-running threads, the more it helps.

Here's a real example: Just this morning I was setting up my new 13th gen framework laptop (it's amazing btw, thank you to framework for making Fedora such a great experience on it!), and I hit Ctrl+r in my terminal to find a previous command. I was surprised to see the standard bash handler instead of the fancy terminal history tool that I installed on my previous laptop. Using my notes I was able to quickly find that the tool is "atuin" and I was able to see exactly what commands I ran to set it up back in the day. This is a tool that doesn't have a great installation story for Fedora. I ended up building rom source and installing, and I'm not a rust person so I would have to look that all up had it not been in my notes. I didn't have time for a long distraction, and my notes saved me on that. It probably adds a 10% to 20% overhead of effort to the original task, but then saves me time in the future.

I have also benefitted greatly from numerous notes on customers/clients that I can pull up and see quickly what the last thing I did/said to them was. After months of not talking to them, it's very easy to forget or blend their details into other customers. The notes can be life savers.

There have also been times when I needed to do some technical task and I remembered having done it years earlier. Finding those notes can be an incredible time saver, especially when it skips me past the first couple hours of research!
Sure, what we've found is that many companies (including our own) publish a changelog, product update or newsletter at a monthly/weekly cadence. We can help solve for that.

In low-theft areas it just takes bike racks/poles/etc where one can lock the bikes. Cost is nearly nothing, just political will to do it.

In high-theft areas bike lockers are needed, these cost money and take more space, but it's still a lot more efficient in terms of transportation units per sqft.

As a former insider, I agree with all of this. Thanks for being a voice of sanity.

The music degree scrutiny is unnecessarily derogatory and borderline misogynistic. She was a fine executive and predictably the first one thrown under the bus. I can't say she revolutionized anything, but I had no complaints about her competence. (By comparison, the male C-levels in the company I currently work under have relevant degrees from impressive institutions. I see them watching porn, engaging in insider trading and doing God knows what on Tor...while our latest two product launches failed.)

Equifax's fate was sealed by the CEO himself. We had highly-competent security teams that kept up with CVEs, ran CABs, everything a "secure" org should do...but there was always a top-down culture of "I'm not saying don't patch systems, but don't impact production" at every level. This sort of event was inevitable under Smith's leadership.
I initially thought this wasn't the case, but did some research - so for posterity: if you overhear the information in a public setting you may be ok.

"If you're spamming 1000s of raycasts per frame for your 2d game, there's probably something else going on..."

Yup .. but maybe not stupidity, but rather a non generic game.

In my case I need lots of raycasts, to determine what exactly the player and the enemy bots can see. Basically I have a simulation in 2D (using box2d directly in js as a wasm libary) - and all the bots and the player only (mostly) get information based on raycasts. They have to scan the world and react to that information, which leads to a different result, than the usual approach (cheating).
So I am looking forward to get this fixed asap as well and also cannot really consider godot before that.

Edit: performance problems with raycasts I had to experience as well, because the roundtrip js to wasm is expensive. I first wrote a WebGPU shader doing only raycasting in my world, but better was modifying box2d (and compiling to wasm) to include a function, that does all my raycasts in one call and returns a big array (or rather a array with pointers to the structs in the internal wasm heap).

LOL - 700 crashes with no known survivors attributable to FSD? You're claiming 700 people have died while operating FSD? Friend, that's not a worst-case assessment. That's just a lie.

But to be sure, there will be people who die. That is true of nearly every human activity. We have to accommodate a non-zero death rate. Were to not, then we'd immediately outlaw driving altogether, which would impoverish millions. Your angry "prove it's safe" argument is an ideological position not grounded in any useful reality. Their numbers evidence the technology is very safe. It is not perfectly safe because nothing is.

> But that assumes that Google would settle.

Which is a not unreasonable assumption. It doesn't take much before Google's cost outstrip the cost of settlement, and even if it were to prevail in court it probably wouldn't recover costs

> Without that happening, you are looking at years before getting a result, thousands of dollars of attorney fees and a high likelihood that if they lost they would appeal.

Yes, it will take time if the other side doesn't settle, that's rather the norm in lawsuits. But its reasonably likely there is a contingency fee arrangement in olace, meaning the lawyers get paid with and out of any settlement or judgement.

> This might be more of an emotional lawsuit than a logical one

That's always possible, but you haven't really done much to argue for it being likely.
So is it obvious that the bridge is out? Did the incident occur at night, and was visibility poor? As much as I hate Google, I find it hard to believe they should be held accountable before whoever owns the road with a bridge to nowhere that isn't marked or blocked off.

DuckDB raises 52M at 400M valuation
Splunk was an absolute game changer when a company I worked for bought it. I say bought because we started to pay for it before anyone actually used it for anything meaningful. The "adoption" (blaming the company that bought it not Splunk) was terrible and teams were left to find value or not at their discretion without onboarding/training.

The tool itself when I started using it was brilliant and quite deep on capabilities.

All that said, the cost structure for the product can and SHOULD scare away any SMBs. Hosted or cloud, you're probably paying way beyond the value it's bringing in. That's probably the single largest determinant to the product.
While at Microsoft, a project I was on was acquiring a license for a library and just to be sure of everything, instead of the standard "usage for this product" license, MS acquired a lifetime license to do whatever we wanted with the library.

Having worked on large golang codebases, it shows quite quickly how badly error handling is, the example you mentioned being one of them, as well as others not detected by the compiler or linter. Using multiple return values to model errors is fundamentally broken, as with other things they chose with the language, either deliberately or not.
It potentially could have. For example, post-signing he had a big fight with twitter's lawyers over the right way to measure bot accounts. If he could prove it was much higher than twitter's SEC filings, he might have been able to withdraw from the deal if he kept the due diligence condition.
At its most basic perhaps. But the LLM has an enormous semantic corpus embedded in its model that augments the retrieved document. The retrieved document in a way cements the context better to help prevent wandering into hallucinations. So the LLM would indeed be able to summarize the retrieved document, but also synthesize it with other “knowledge” embedded in its model.

But the more important thing is you can interrogate the LLM to ask it the specific questions you have based on what it has said and your goals. Contrast this to an information retrieval based methods where you read the article hoping your questions are answered, and when they aren’t you are stuck digging through less and less relevant results or refining a search string hoping to find the right incantation that tweaks the index in the right way, sifting through documents that may contain the kernel of information somewhere if it wasn’t SEO’ed out of existence. This is a really unnatural way of discovering information - the natural way, say with a teacher, is to be told background, ask questions, and iterate to understanding. This is how chat based LLMs work.

However with RAG you can ground them more concretely, as their model is a massive mishmash of everything that may or may not embed the information sought, but it’s also mixed in with everything else trained. You can bring in factual information into context that may not have even been trained. However the facts are a small aspect of knowledge - the overall semantics in the total corpus supports the facts in adjacent areas.
Presumably you can have a cluster of grepping machines. I wonder how it scales compared to the millions you pay for Splunk.

I strongly suspect these trades are not legit. That said, the trader didn't necessarily KNOW that the deal would be announced today. Trading is a game of probabilities. It's possible that the trader used public information to figure out that Splunk could be acquired soon and there was a small but non-zero chance it would be announced today. In that case taking a $22k flyer on cheap options is a good risk-adjusted bet for a well-capitalized investor. (Although they'd have to factor in that this WILL result in a visit from the SEC, which is probably not fun even if you've done nothing wrong.)
Where I live there's a disused pedestrian/cycling bridge over a river, with no paved road whatsoever leading to it on one side. There's a mud "road" there which I wouldn't risk driving on in anything other than a tank or a tractor (my farmer neighbor does drive his tractor there and across water, so there's that). The bridge has never been made for use by vehicles other than bicycles since its inception.

Nevertheless, when trying for navigation guidance to the street on the other bank of the river, many map applications insisted I could drive right across that disused bridge. Until recently, only OpenStreetMap and Google Maps presented the correct information. Apple Maps, TomTom, and Sygic all insisted I had to drive right across mud and the disused bridge (that would not be suitable for a car anyway).

These maps also reported there had been a street in the other part of the town where there was only barely a boundary between two fields.

I've been reporting this via Apple Maps feedback, complete with photos, for three years straight with no response whatsoever. I think one of my feedbacks just had been closed. Then a year ago Apple Maps got refreshed and their data sources got better, at least now they don't show roads where there are none.

Google Maps used to navigate me in the wrong directions on one-way streets months, if not years, after the changes had been made. They also seem to choose the shittiest routes ever when driving from any A to B, like the narrowest unmaintained countryside roads with steep gradients, and ETA seems to be drugs-induced fiction, like their information on speed limits and the actual speed attainable on those roads is waaaay off.

OSMAnd and OSM data in general is way better, I only wish it was recalculating the routes faster. Oh, and live traffic information.

I'm glad at least there's some movement to have some accountability about that clusterfuck. But then again, whom am I kidding, that won't move the needle in ad sales so nobody's giving a shit.
Not my cake. I found only gossip and was disappointed.
Governments are large enough they can always find money to fix a road, so it's a matter of raising enough stink about it in public. With small-ish private owners and HOAs, the situation is reversed - there's only so much they can afford, and only so much damage bad PR can cause; you hit that limit, they'll just shrug and stop listening to you.
