EVs are not the solution for that, brake and tire wear contribute to as much or more PM2.5 and 2-3 times more PM10 pollution than modern ICEs. Also while there will be some improvement it will be possibly partially outweighed by the fact the EVs generally weight more.

Of course we can just ignore that which is not at all crazy...

Edit: I'm certainly not using this as argument to not ban ICE vehicles in city centers. However switching to EVs is not a good longterm solution. e.g. there won't be any incentives for massively increasing investment into public transport because everyone can just drive a "clean" EV.

*I'm not saying that brake and tire wear is that much higher for EVs, rather that if we only look at ICE vehicles tires/breaks are as big a source of PM 2.5 as the engine itself.

The people in nordic countries seem so naive to me. They trust their governments, their authorities to do this stuff, to both determine the greater good and then implement it. The political class couldn't possibly act immorally, for their own benefit, apparently.

Whereas the reality is that these actions are preplanned internationally and designed (by opaque agencies such the club of Rome and the UN) in order for individuals to have less control over their lives - shifting that control to the governance structure. Did anyone discuss the transfer of control, agree to it, vote on it?

It's quite amazing to me that people are going to lose freedom of movement, will pay more etc and be happy to do so. Turkeys voting for Christmas.
I understand that I’m not an expert in this but there are people who are working on it who are. I guess the linked XKCD is a bit ironic with the “modelling as a simple object” things being similar to modelling a superintelligence in a simpler way but that’s the only way you really can do it if it’s more intelligent than us, we can’t go through all the specific things it would do because we wouldn’t think of them
Doesn't "incident" imply that a breach has been made? I don't think that incident and vulnerability are the same thing.
Ask HN: If you work at FAANGMA and you received a generous 4 year on-hire RSU
If you work at FAANGMA and you received a generous 4 year on-hire RSU and you are still in your role, why? I have been running projections and it seems to make no sense to stay after 4 years. I've taken into consideration: annual base bumps, RSU grants and bonus.

Is it that you a) joined at fairly high comp, b) are comfortable with the comp you now make, c) other?
AI-powered parking signs reader app
Hey HN! We built Ai Parking Signs Reader app on iOS. It scans complicated Los Angeles parking signs, analyzes them and provides a simple recommendation whether you can park or not in real-time. Very simple.

I'd love to get your feedback on how to improve the app.
Why can carpenters not drive electric vehicles?
1) Don't let perfect be the enemy of good

2) For the record EV use 99% regenerative braking so at least that source is practically zero

3) Decoupling CO2 emissions from the car means you can upgrade your power grid to be greener without having to replace all the cars already circulating. It's an enormous advantage which should be given due consideration. Also, it's easier to manage the emission of all the CO2 in one place, and mandate better filters/capture systems there, than just spew it out of every individual exhaust pipe, where many capture systems are not feasible due to cost, size or other consideration.

But, most importantly, let me repeat:

Really, really, don't let perfect be the enemy of good, please.
It is the new age book burning. Forbidden information we can’t dare see for our own good.
Autopilot is a particularly egregious case, though. Naming an experimental, very limited car feature after the device that flys the plane most of the time, and has for many years, really ought to have been illegal. It sets wildly inappropriate expectations.

Most of the other names are just random nice sounding names that they made up.

It is more like if they called DayQuil “Tracheotomax,” because you know, it helps you breathe!

If I gave you $250,000,000 to grow a company, and then next year I saw you had $250,050,000 in the bank, then $250,102,000 next year, and so on, I'd be pretty annoyed that I backed you. You have so much money you could be spending on hiring, development, and marketing, and you're instead just slowly chugging along, padding the corporate bank account? What am I paying you for?! Give me my money back.

VC-backed companies that spend more than they earn aren't duds. It's the nature of VC-backed corporations.

Not really. You can usually (sort of) take public transport to commute into the centre, but try to do anything else and the model falls apart quickly.
Gas, especially gas with ethanol in it, absolutely goes bad unless stored very well. It'll oxidize, absorb water, and evaporate within months. There's a lot of reasons why people "winterize" their lawn equipment; gas going bad is one big part.
>The ridiculousness of having to send formulaic, bullshit "thank you" emails after interviews.

Interesting. I get it, but I've never done this myself (or the had the reverse, someone send one to me).

I think it's interesting just how quickly the power dynamics of "work" change. We can shift from companies throwing money at people to sit around, people working 3 or 4 remote jobs (eventually getting fired, but finding new ones), and ghosting interviews or their first-day-of-work, to people claiming it's a "rough job market" or having to write thank you notes for getting an interview...in a matter of years.

The tech job market is a strange place.

Around here the Clarity PHEV are seen daily (I own one). I don't know if that was because of subsidies/incentives or what. In my use case the ~35 mile EV range is perfect and like you I experience the engine running only when the computer commands maintenance cycles, or if I take a long trip and it flips into HV mode. Considering the embodied energy of a full EV especially in the year that I bought the Clarity, I still think it was the right choice at the time.

That all the public schools I know in Europe, either directly or indirectly, are pretty much of the same quality (differences for specific teachers not withstanding).

Sending kids to a different school comes down to personal preferences, ranging from available languages to a school being along the commute of a parent or simple preference of tue kid in question. Selecting where to life based on school quality is simply not a thing I know. I do hear a ton of that from the US so.
Yeah but the people making these comments aren’t trying to point to the wonder of how simple mathematics can underpin large complex systems, they’re doing the opposite: Trying to trivialize the system and its immense potential for good and bad by pointing out that it uses simple mathematics under the hood (and thus can’t be that amazing).

I think this one annoys people because when engineers hear AI they think of a bunch of techniques that mostly didn't work and caused an AI winter. When they hear ML they think of the latest and greatest techniques that have moved the needle on some of the hardest problems in the space.
You know what's even more shocking about the attitude of the nordic countries? It works pretty nicely, try visiting those places.
ML is the intersection of the set of successful things and the set of things we call AI today.

There are things we used to call AI, like inference engines, that were and are phenomenally successful (not to mention easier to implement). Type inference in modern programming languages, for instance, still uses the GOFAI technique of unification to solve for unspecified types of variables in a program.

That's why I found it funny the article said "There are companies claiming their products are powered by AI, when they're really powered by IF statements." Back in the day, AI was itself powered by IF statements.

And "Dragons of Crumbling Castle" is good for that. Like thinking of one of the stories in particular, is very clearly the kind of humor that he perfected in Discworld. But it's just too much, it's not sharp enough. It's a broad blade which he later turns into a scalpel.

And they're not bad stories, just most are a bit dull. There was one I especially loved though, so I'm glad I read them, and my kids liked them as I was reading them out loud.
> Many of those "intergovernmental institutions" are funded by US and UK intelligence as the article goes into detail describing.

And the people at "The Grayzone" (the original source for the article you linked upthread) offer "sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes" and have worked on behalf of the Russian government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grayzone:

> Grayzone writers such as Blumenthal and Aaron Maté acted as briefers on behalf of the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations at UN meetings organised by Russia.[34][35][36][37]

It's founder has also been paid by the Russian government and attended a party with Putin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Blumenthal#Affiliations:

> Blumenthal has contributed to broadcasts on RT (formerly known as Russia Today) on many occasions.[8] In December 2015, during a visit to Moscow presumed by multiple sources to have been paid for by the Kremlin,[20][23] Blumenthal was a guest at RT's 10 Years On Air anniversary party attended by President Vladimir Putin...

> He has contributed on multiple occasions to Sputnik radio,[23][26] as well as to Iran's Press TV[27][28] and China's CGTN.[29] Blumenthal founded The Grayzone website within a month after his visit to Moscow.[13]

Edit: Also, why has the Grayzone not been transparent about who funds them? The Wikipedia page mentions Patreon funding (which does not seem anywhere near a sufficient amount, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSU5QjxEg_Q) and "private friends of [Blumenthal]." That's quite suspicious, given how much they focus on who is funding who. Are they hiding something?

Given the expressiveness and power behind the system that is a trade off I am willing to take. To a certain extent I think it is a trade off of using a tool that has so many permutations.

Black holes are not made of matter… the matter has collapsed into pure energy. The form of energy is a mystery (it’s inside the event horizon) but since the gravitational field persists, it’s often referred to as pure gravitational binding energy. I graduated physics at Manchester Uni and I’ve still got a ‘preference’ to be as correct as possible when talking about BH’s and what they’re ‘made’ of. Kip Thorne also often refers to the stuff BHs are made of as ‘gravitational binding energy’ so I thinks it’s safe to do the same.

If you've not touched 3d graphics before start with OpenGL with a view to moving on to a modern API soon after.

OpenGL does a lot of work for you behind the scenes and abstracts away most of the memory management, state management and GPU/CPU synchronization. It lets you worry about 'what' you are rendering and handles a lot of the 'how' internally. Vulcan and its peers (DirectX12, Metal) assume the programmer knows best and requires you to do everything manually. You have more control that way but for a beginner it will swamp you with minutia and make it far more difficult to things up and running.
you're not wrong but perhaps being a bit unfair.

the project page has that front and center, it's only really the submission title that's implying otherwise.

> Since most people are not homeless, I have no idea why you think this makes it reasonable to extrapolate anything from this study to the case of actual UBI.

Some people are. They were given a basic income. Under UBI they would also be given a basic income. It seems crazy to me to suggest these are entirely uncorrelated.

> Not if it's only given to the homeless.

So I'll ask again, how does Basic Income for the middle class invalidate Basic Income for the destitute?

It'll work but my Minecraft server sees everyone as 127.0.0.1. After disabling TS_USERSPACE I see each person's Tailnet IP. Tailscale doesn't provide this information anywhere (since their node name is private), so once I have their IP address I can also use `tailscale ping` to ping the IP and see whether the connection is going through relay or direct, which is helpful when debugging their latency.

My users report better latency, but I doubt it.

> The second part of the problem (and this is the actual vulnerability) is that track_set_index does not check that i ≥ 0

… and then we check that `i` is positive, instead of using the proper type of size_t, which avoids the entire problem of negative indexes from the get go. (Though size_t doesn't save you from having to write a decent parser…)

The post also notes how the code fails to check for failures during parsing while calling atoi (mainly because atoi is one of those garbage-tier functions in C's stdlib that you should never call, in this case because it is incapable of signalling errors) … but then does nothing about it. So even after this patch, atoi can still return random garbage and in some cases the parser will just happily keep on using that. (But it shouldn't access random memory, I suppose.)
I guess the more useful and original one is RTFA, and TFA is a derivative that gets used sometimes.

My favorite manifestation to date of Emacs file handling is that if I use emacs to edit a post in my Hugo-managed site, and Emacs decides to leave one of its .#filename symlinks around that don't point to anything, hugo gets an error reading the directory and decides the entire directory is busted and doesn't read it in. So suddenly entire years of my blog start disappearing.

Granted, hugo is handling this particularly gracelessly, but it's not the only thing that gets confused and upset by the dangling symlinks that point nowhere.
To distinguish between "is an illusion" and "is not an illusion", you need evidence that isn't observational. The whole point of illusions is that observational evidence is unreliable.

A desert mirage in the distance is an illusion; to the observer, it's indistinguishable from an oasis. You can only tell that it's a mirage by investigating how the appearance was created (e.g. by dragging your thirsty ass through the sand, to the place where the oasis appeared to be).
I can assure you that somewhere around the 6-7 year mark, it is completely normal for kids to take public transport to go to school. It is where I live, it is in Munich (always fun to end up in the school rush hour sharing the subway with all those little ones riding the train like a pro). It is simply normal for those and nothing even remotely special or weird.

I'm going to start biting my keyboard if I get one more formulaic rejection without anyone telling me why they rejected me. It's infuriating. I've got years of experience and the right tech stack, but all the applications are going in the trash!
Vulkan, Metal, and DirectX 12 are lower-level graphics APIs that provide abstractions better suited towards the GPUs of today (big, big buffers of data, processed by shaders). These new APIs came about because OpenGL and DirectX have grown into handling too many things are are now themselves the source of many bottlenecks for pushing data to your GPU.

These APIs being lower level means they are harder to get into, you really have to understand how GPUs work to understand why these APIs are the way they are. If you want to know that then by all means, dive in! It's fascinating stuff, IMO.

To answer your specific question, yes, Vulkan is intended to replace OpenGL.
