I think their point is that Audi's first year safety record will not be given such attention on here even if it was as bad or worse.

Even the article is cashing in on Musk's controversial image. Instead of saying it's a Tesla factory they awkwardly write:

> Tesla boss Elon Musk’s factory

Elon only owns 13% of Tesla so that framing is quite wrong, it's not his factory, why do you think they write like that?
If they can come up with an Alexa/Siri kind of experience that doesn’t make me want to throw it out the window, I can see the separate device not being too hard of a sell, while at the same time avoiding being at the mercy of whichever device provider they would have to play along with otherwise.
That could have been a disaster. Those books has serious ballast.
Sorry to hear that.. Can you please provide whatever info you have concerning the exact conditions this happened in?

There's maaany stories & videos about Li-ions bursting into flames, but with very few exceptions they come down to:

* While being charged. Or even under extreme stress, like driving a nail through it, or hooking up to a car battery to watch it explode.

* In series configuration, with 1 of the cells being defective / much lower capacity than the others. Or using a mix of different cells / cells in different state of charge.

* Cheap / poor quality / fake cells.

* Physical damage.

* Connected to monitoring / protection circuitry, with that circuitry failing. Not to mention ridiculously cheap chargers that are basically constant voltage source without any kind of safety feature.

* Some history of abuse (under / overcharging , dropping from a height etc).

Loose, quality Li-ions just sitting on a shelf, bursting spontaneously into flames, is very very rare.
Is she an officer of the company?
Probably pretty similar to how JWST is protected, which is to say not at all, but with enough redundancy to take a couple hits.
In Germany many technical jobs entail personal liability, so the lever is against the individuals, not against the company. As such pressuring people into skipping safety standards is a no go. You risk prison time and painful fines the company cant officially help with.

These do bolster my point but it becomes more striking in resources intended for parents where one minute they’re telling you the mechanism of SIDS is poorly understood and the next they’re giving you advice that is clearly about removing suffocation risks from the sleeping environment. Though there is similarly strange advice about “preventing shaken baby syndrome” which turns out to be just anger management tips. I guess the sensitive nature of the topic makes frank discussion difficult.

I'd argue that the productivity boost is mich higher for the lower end developers than for the best ones. They are best at the simple tasks in the most verbose programming languages: Easier to think of them as higher quality auto-completion. The terser the language, and more innovative the problem is, the smalle the LLM help.

So if anyone gains from this, is the companies paying under-market, and therefore typically getting somewhat substandard devs to do boring things. There's major savings in productivity there, precisely because the training for those tasks is so good. If you had your highest performance developers spending a significant amount of time on that kind of busywork, you weren't getting that great of a performance in the first place.
It must have been editing the file on disk. The debugger was what was causing the crash in the first place.
> Properly burning it using high-temperature (900+°C) pyrolysis converts most of plastic into water and carbon dioxide.

I'm a little confused. Isn't pyrolysis what the company said they were doing?

Do they know what pyrolysis is, and are simply lying about doing it, or is pyrolysis a myth?
I'm not suggesting OP is wrong, but here's 2 small counterpoints.

1) Where is the data (beyond an anecdote) that shows that no-code solutions generally cost 10x more to build?

2) Putting aside these initial implementation costs, do these no-code solutions have other advantages, such as being less costly to maintain, or being far quicker to customize when needs change? There's always some tradeoffs to take into account.

> Are people actually being whipped or is it just faked like professional wrestling in the United States?

Yes, it's my belief that they're actually being whipped and that that is the major difference. Do you believe otherwise? Pro wrestlers generally go to great lengths not to injure each other. In pornography the audience will copmlain that the violence is fake if the whips aren't real.

> But they don't actually murder people to make movies. When you watch Rambo are people actually being shot?

No, I don't, that's why I'm not coming here to share research about the abuse being routinely inflicted on actors during the filming of Hollywood films.

The study is linked in the article and I've told you the definition they're using. I'm not sure why you have to continue with conjecture as to what they're "probably" saying.
Speaking as someone with SRE experience that thinking keeps me up at night. Bumping version numbers isn’t like auto updating your phone.

How was the new version tested? Did it go through some sort of QA process? What subtle behavior changes are going to inpact your application or downstream dependencies? Did the license change in the new version? Are there performance regressions? Was the library hacked, and the new version introduced an exploit into your application?

It’s the state of physics today.

Einstein was able to predict how light was bent around the Sun and Eddington confirmed it right away, it was like Babe Ruth pointing to the stands and hitting a home run.

The lag between a phenomenon being predicted or model sped by theoreticians and actually observed is getting longer and longer in fundamental physics, I mean neutrino oscillations were hypothesized in 1957. The fact that you can’t get a Nobel prize posthumously means a theoretician might never get a Nobel in fundamental physics ever again. So they’ve got to do something speculative like this to have a possibility of a legacy unless you are Ed Witten and can convince people you are a genius without any appeal to experiment whatsoever.

It does point to a programme of observations to try to catch P9 in a gravitational snare and look really hard in that area with all kinds of telescopes and has the double prize of possibly finding non gravitational evidence for DM.

Personally I think interstellar travelers would use FFPs as a resource but the question of how a civilization that lives on an FFP (imagine something like Pluto cut up into small (5000km) ringworlds) finds the next one seems pretty tough to me.
Massive government spending? Sure. But "massive recession"? Really?
Thats funny, I discovered the same thing a few months ago and built a CLI flight tracker[1] that uses the API. I've tried it across a couple of airlines and it worked almost perfectly across all of them, because they were all using the same in flight ISP.

[1]: https://github.com/NalinPlad/OuterFlightTracker
Glad someone looked into the flight tracker, I was always curious how real the data in it is.

Although it doesn't answer my curiosity about how they manage to mess it up occasionally. I've had flight data from different flights pop up a few times on Southwest, which is never reassuring to see.

This is precisely why we're building forth.news. We know that the next US election will be under constant attack, with a barrage of mis/disinformation from various nation states and seedy domestic groups.

Forth.news is a news feed for news. Like social, you can self-curate and follow individuals/topics/organizations you want, in a reverse chronological feed. All of our posts come from vetted journalists, who are who they say they are.

> I don't get how it is allowed that C-Suits just are allowed to blatantly lie to their investors/board/users they have the data and they know it won't happen

This is _why_ many jurisdictions, including the US, have some concept of 'qualified/accredited' investor, and investment in private companies is somewhat restricted to people who are presumed to know what they're doing. CEOs of _public_ companies absolutely cannot lie about financials, but it's murkier for private companies.

IIRC Smullyan "literally" translates a modern "literal" Chinese translation as "The Tao that can be Taoed is not the true Tao" which I think is a little more accessible without meaningful compromise.

(I cribbed that for my personal rendering as "Tao that is 'tao' is not really tao" and it's one of the few lines I don't think I changed in many years. Maybe it's something other programmers will appreciate.)
I've seen no-code tools that are so complex and poorly designed that they require specialized teams to operate. We've worked with a number of clients that use a certain software, all of whom, despite having been sold on the simplicity and ease of the tool, retain a company that specializes in configuring the tool.

Then again, no-code is a pretty broad umbrella, and I've seen tools that enable users to help themselves help themselves in meaningful ways that save them money and us spending our time on miniscule adjustments.
> He put Haskell outside of array languages subset

And as a Haskell programmer I’d argue that’s quite correct. For me, the key distinguishing feature of the array paradigm is that all operations are systematically broadcast over array operands; Haskell doesn’t have that, notwithstanding libraries such as repa which have some support for similar patterns. For a similar case, no-one’s claiming that Python is an array language, just because numpy exists.

One of the biggest advantages of combustion fuels for aircraft is that they lose weight as they’re consumed. Batteries don’t do that, so you’re stuck hauling the dead weight of all the drained cells for the entire trip.

Airlines optimize to such an extent that they include only the fuel needed to reach a destination, including a safety margin, so on short-haul flights the tanks are mostly empty at takeoff.

I think electric planes could be made to work fairly well for those short flights because the batteries could be kept small. But for long flights the deadweight is going to be a huge problem!
Why do you mess around on the surface of the moon when something free floating can be much larger with light construction?
Yeah, I think it depends on your specialty. If you're an enterprise developer, you save on some boilerplate for sure, and it's a nice alternative to Stack Overflow.

If you're more of a generalist though? I can see productivity gains of 25% maybe.

Show HN: Essential Vocabulary - Story Based Learning
Hey HN!

I'm excited to share Essential Vocabulary. Through story-based learning, anyone can increase their vocabulary in a fun and interactive way. It's all AI-generated, images and stories. I've been testing it for some time now and it's been very effective. The next step is to add translation for any language, so if you don't know a word, you can easily translate it into your language and learn. I'm always looking for new ways to make the learning experience more engaging and effective, so if you have any suggestions, let me know.
It's monetary policy tightening (effective rate 0% -> ~5%), not government spending. There is no recession, just normalization (zero interest rate policy, or ZIRP, was an abnormality). Unemployment is close to lowest levels in history because of structural demographics. When money gets more expensive, you must perform, adapt, or die as a business. Cashflow is king, and profits juiced from government stimulus mentioned is simply evaporating as the Fed drains money out of the system.

Businesses are attempting to discover how to operate in a macro that makes labor and money more expensive than they've been accustomed to over the last 15-20 years. u/DoughnutHole touches on another important point: businesses and capital are clinging to returns that might no longer be obtainable in this new macro (as we've been papering over reality with cheap credit and financialization for some time). What is going to break first? Who knows, first time we're someplace like this. Everyone is going to fight like hell to defend their piece of the pie (note the broad layoffs and back to hiring shortly after, as well as activist investors demanding trimming labor costs aggressively).

("The labor market has so far shown remarkable resilience to the Federal Reserve’s recent monetary policy tightening. Severe labor shortages in the post-pandemic era have led many employers to hold on to workers and hire less-skilled workers—even though they expect demand for their goods or services to weaken in the future. As a result, unemployment remains low, and labor productivity has declined.")

It's been very obvious for years now on hacker news that anything critical of Musk, especially something showing how his companies abuse workers, gets immediately buried if it gets close to the top.

I'm not sure if it's a group of power users flagging these articles or if someone with more administrative control does it, but there is no question that someone or multiple people work to suppress anything that shines a negative light on Musk.

Of course Alexa is getting a LLM as announced recently in the next few weeks. I don’t think Amazon and Apple are going to miss the bandwagon.

On the Apple front they added a very small LLM to the keyboard autocorrect that is better at semantically correcting and predicting what you’re writing in iOS 17. It’s a ducking lot better already, but I imagine over the years it’ll round out to be incredibly useful.

Python's use of whitespace is, dare i say, perfect.

It makes everything more readable. I've never seen cases where indentation is ambiguous.

I think this is because in a programming language indentation happens in a small set of specific situations like `for` loops and such. Either you indent right or you get an error. On the rare occasion the wrong indentation level can assign a variable to the wrong value, but that is a rookie mistake.

Whereas in YAML, everything starts out ambiguous. Everything is context sensitive. Indents change the meanings of things in slight, unclear ways. Its a constant source of confusion

I wonder if they just do some rudimentary packet inspection and drop packets above a certain size.

I'd need to test this hypothesis by sending a very large text message (resulting in many large packets)

That still allows website to distinguish between webUSB-aware clients and older browsers. The point being, that it would be great if extentions like WebUSB were developed such that nothing about capabilities could be learned without the users' awareness and explicit consent.

Unfortunately, instead, new capabilities are added to browsers constantly and the interfaces commonly are silently made available as part of a regular software upgrade. Sure, thought is given to security and the user is prompted just before something horrible is about to happen (access camera, mic).

But don't underestimate the shitload of "niceties" in the grabbag of APIs that in aggregate reveal more or less a supercookie of your browser instance.
Most likely because you get bonuses for onboarding revenue but not for fixing broken shit.
