I would be happy to allow these systems on our public roads if they had fewer accidents/fatalities per mile than human drivers.

Google found this claim "According to the report, Tesla cars with Autopilot turned on are much safer than cars driven by people. In Q4 2022, there was only one crash for every 4.85 million miles driven."

Here is an article that discusses the safety of driverless cars. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/09/are-self-driving-cars-a...

Crypto and NFTs are the ultimate scam.

It's wooden nickels, the Brooklyn Bridge and Bernie Madoff all taken to their ultimate logical conclusion --- something with no intrinsic value whatsoever (electrons) is being exchanged for real functioning currency.

But what really sets the crypto scam apart is the fact that no is really lying about the fundamental nature of the transaction.

No one is hiding the fact that by buying crypto, you are exchanging your legal working currency for nothing more than an entry in a database with no real guarantees of any kind --- legal or otherwise. No one is hiding the fact that with only moderate technical skill, anyone can create a similar database and mint their own version of Bitcoin.

All crypto really does is provide a quasi-viable excuse to entice people to lie to themselves about economic reality and what we call "money".
I’d like to see this argument in the context of music.

Not just samples, in their contemporary usage, which has been thoroughly discussed.

I think of the best and most memorable melodies that I sing from church hymnals, or in pop music - which often come from classical compositions.

Like “Thaxted”, which comes from Gustav’s Planets.

Or Celine Dion’s “All By Myself”, which comes from Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor.

Or the theme from the movie Babe, which comes from a reggae song that reused the melody from Saint-Saen’s Symphony 3
I'm referring to using these tools with https://pre-commit.com. The wrappers work cross-platform and don't require folks interacting with the repo to install anything besides pre-commit itself and then running "pre-commit install" in the repo. The first time pre-commit is run, it then downloads and installs all of the hooks.

The wrappers also work well with CI systems if you want to enforce the pre-commit hooks in PRs.

Another advantage is that everyone interacting with the repo will be using the same versions of the tools.

If you're not using these tools with pre-commit, then sure, install them directly via your package manager of choice.
that depends on your setup. ballooning is just a function to move memory from the guest to the host; if you move too much memory you'll get thrashing. the bigger problem is I/O indirection through the host; for I/O heavy workloads you'll want to use PCI passthrough for best performance, which (assuming it's working properly) should be identical to native performance.

I don't get the point.

Autopilot is "just" an adaptive cruise control with line assist. It is not self driving. Of course it is going to crash when you are cruising at high speed and a semi suddenly rolls across the street. It also doesn't stop for stop signs or red lights, those are known limitations.

We can proceed into the discussion whether it is okay to call such a system 'autopilot'. One side will say that autopilot (also in airplanes) means driver's assist, not self driving. The other side will say that a common person thinks it means self driving and therefore it is misleading. But I think this terminology was debated to death on hacker news.

It wasn't steroid "abuse", it was completely legal (and common practise) at the time. The article you linked to makes this perfectly clear.
Caption from the image..."Incidentally, this portrait appears—along with other nudes—in a recent Supreme Court opinion. And now, of course, it appears on this website. Time to verify users’ ages (with government IDs or face scans) and post the state’s ridiculous “warnings”? Not quite: the site does not satisfy H.B. 1181’s “one-third . . . sexual material” content threshold. Still, that standard is vague."

I'm not against your opinion, I'm just pointing out that the image had a clear intent and relevance to the argument. It wasn't to show an example of our collective actual judgement of what pornography 'is' - anyone can Google that. Instead, the image provides a discrete example of how extreme puritanical views can turn classical, or indeed any nude art or scientific study images, into the pornographic class of safeguarded images.

As long as humans are humans, no oone will ever win this war. I, personally, think clothes are silly and am probably as far as you can get from a puritanical viewpoint. That said, I still believe the act of seeking a balance in a civilized manner through ongoing debate is not a worthless pursuit. Debates like this that seem eternal build the evolving infrastructure of our civilization.

> Dismissing a multi-millenia multi-cultural fundamental norm

This norm was not evenly distributed. Generally, if you were a peasant (and especially a woman), you were expected to adhere to the norms rigidly. While those with means or power frequently got to flaunt them or even started their own religions to get around them[1]. To me it just looks like another lever of control for the powerful over the "plebs".

Then how does one analyze The Orb and other similar acts that rely on tons of obscure samples? They make no pretense of not using loads of samples, but they can be quite obscured to those not in the know. Then again, they are an entirely separate genre from hip-hop.

for better or for worse, this is part of the culture and practice at NASA. For several decades they appear from the outside (to me) to be armies of slugs and meeting-addicts. Yet look at the original tooling? the amazing engineering -- not in macro, but in the parts -- that comes out over and over. Then you get humans in that machine who are genuinely competent, somehow. We need NASA to work, they do have a great t-shirt. Maybe "slow" is the antidote to ADHD here on the nets?

I have heard that angle of argument recently (that distribution/diversity for the sake of it is not inherently better) and must concede it is worth considering.

But in this case, it is about actual companies that have been successful and proven it. That in itself is rather a celebration of the western concept that ideas and the private pursuit of them can yield successful outcomes that are an improvement to the world vs. them not being there.

Pharma strikes me as one of the industries that would benefit heavily from a few congressionally chartered nonprofits being booted up. Same employee comp (with cash substitutes for stock), same general structure, same incentives, but with a mandate to recycle profits back into new drug development rather than paying out to shareholders through buybacks, dividends, etc, all audited by a dedicated regulatory body to ensure that comp and waste don't go into excess. Perhaps with a requirement that some percentage of reinvestment is towards cures rather than treatments.

You see similar models with co-ops and credit unions.

The hope would be that the industry doesn't actually profit off of human suffering but still maintains incentive to continue development.
> Note: title should be 'the end of the security-announcements mailing list'. Which is outdated tech anyway...

Yes, mailing lists are clearly out of date; you can tell because they're widespread and actually work, so obviously they need to be replaced with a mishmash of slightly broken alternatives ASAP.
I'd say it's because it is the nature of bureaucracy to expand. An open source browser doesn't need to make money, but a foundation tends not to maintain an unerring focus on a single specific goal.
Taleb in “Antifragile” talks about this as well. However he derives a different conclusion; he speaks of a phenomenon called “hormesis” which refers to a biological response where a low dose of a harmful stressor can have positive benefits on an organism.

> The software is based around memory mapped storage, and Linux’ page fault handler can only put up with so many page faults at any given time.

What’s the actual issue? Linux can have trouble servicing many page faults in parallel in a single process (technically mm) due to lock contention. Multiple processes should reduce this contention.

Do you have more details?
The Senate hearing was really the final confirmation anyone needed our elected representatives are woefully outmatched.

Calling out the simple statistic slight of hand would have been a sure fire way of establishing control and the impression of hard on big tech they wanted. It was delivered on a platter.

Instead of that we got “Senator we run ads” and stupid gotcha games trying to prove FB was biased against conservatives when it was painfully clear that Joel Kaplan had fully taken over the bias department in favor of his friends (preventing misinformation action on the news surface because, shocker, it came 90% from conservative staples like Drudge report)

> but detect any memory issues.

Only if the stride is small enough to not skip over the guard page, surely? Unless you're setting the entire address space to protected, for any given base pointer BP there's a resulting address BP[offset] that lands on an unprotected page.

It might be interesting to expose an instruction that restricts the offset of a memory operation to e.g. 12 bits (masking off higher bits, or using a small immediate) to provide a guarantee that a BP accessed through such an instruction cannot skip a guard page; but that would of course only apply to small arrays, and the compiler would have to carry that metadata through the compilation.

As far as I know, the audience for gov.uk forms is teams that have no developers. So for that audience, email is very much the right approach.

In your example, there’s a group of people who aren’t cut out for monogamy and are a problem for society no matter what. But I think there’s a much larger group of people that could do it in a society that offers them strong support and reinforcement, who will fail and flounder in a society that leaves them free to make choices.

In my culture, neither divorce nor cheating are socially acceptable. Now, I’m happily married to my wife. But I’m also aware that I had better do everything I can to make my marriage happy, because that’s it. My social standing would be devastated if I got divorced. People would be talking about me in hushed tones 12,000 miles away.

If this was Chicago in 1890, then I agree, Upton Sinclair. Today's unions have visited every level of corruption and come back. They're a shell of whatever they once claimed to be. The concept of a union is similar to socialism, in that they're both great in theory, atrocious in practice.

Yes, really. And the cool thing is that users are able to complain about getting arbitrarily blocked even if it is legal.
So by "normal", I meant the radar-based systems in normal cars, also known as AEB. They are usually mounted low on the front fenders or grille. Semi truck trailers are tall, have a huge empty gap between them and the road, and just high enough to not be seen by the radar. From the radars POV it appears like the road is unobstructed.

Obviously this isn't hard to detect with full LIDAR systems in self driving cars because they are on the roof and you have full depth information. This is why I do not mention "self driving cars" in my parent comment.

68k to PPC transition really wasn’t a disaster. Was these a year or two when certain apps (Photoshop was a big one) we’re not updated for PPC, and this ran about the same or slightly slower on a PPC Mac as compared to a 2 year old Quadra? Sure. But clock speeds advanced quick enough and Adobe finally got their native apps working and things were pretty good by year 2 of the transition.
First, the use-case where virtual threads offer the most benefit is servers with high concurrency (due to Little's law https://youtu.be/07V08SB1l8c?si=rwTQrnHBnp4NGrj7), which means we're talking about a very large number of threads. That, in turn, means that the state of all those threads cannot fit in the CPU cache, so even the most efficient implementation possible, i.e. one that simply changes the sp register to point to a new stack will incur an expensive cache miss. That means that copying small sections of the stack is almost free (because a cache miss+copy isn't all that more expensive than just a cache miss).

Copying portions of the stack means that you can continue executing code directly in OS threads (rather than change the stack pointer), so the overhead for FFI is zero. However, you cannot copy portions of stack if there are pointers into the stack. In .NET and in low-level languages there are pointers into the stack which makes copying inefficient. Furthermore, managing these stack portions efficiently in the heap requires extremely efficient dynamic memory management, which is something that languages with good GCs do better than low-level languages with more direct memory management.

Whatever happened to the oath of the engineer?

I’m not buying that this issue is only about psychopathic business people.

Neither domain nor pay grade leave room for “professional” excuses here.

Oh and yes “even” interaction design including nomenclature / wording used to fall under engineering considerations / vetting as well.

For a “software” car the interaction on the whole is terribly designed. UI out of immediate view, low contrast, distracting, etc. I was appalled how bad the experience was driving a Tesla over a recent short vacation (2022 Model 3).
> I don't get the point.

I'm happy to see more reporting like this now that Teslas are increasingly available as short-term rentals (e.g. Hertz's Tesla fleet). Meaning there's now a whole lot of Tesla drivers on the road with only a few days experience driving the machine. Very small chance car rental drivers read the manual or do any research on the car before driving it.

But I agree the issue has been debated to death on HN specifically. That said I think Tesla's PR would vehemently disagree with your description of autopilot being adaptive cruise control with lane assist. (If Tesla actually called it that, everyone would be happy)
I didn't know about the headers. No, I'm not emotional because they turned me down. I just don't like leaking this information at a certain point.

Unless you have a UV camera then no, there is no indication to humans [0]. Though as sibling said, if nothing else you'd have the obvious direct grim evidence if they had failed. But at the same time I've not found it a concern in practice, there's plenty of stuff in a household that simply needs to be replaced/renewed on an annual or semi-annual basis with no particular indicator before failure. Just part of building maintenance. I set an annual calendar notification and roll it into spring/fall cleanup lists along with things like gutter cleaning. They don't just fail at wildly varying rates, it's a straight forward curve of breakdown so when it says "replace these every 6 months" one can just do that.

They can be interesting looks at the world, you can see everything from sunscreen applications to UV patterns on some flowers.
> By the time the child had grown to an adult I wonder what kind of results their LLM would produce and the degree to which it might compare to what the child (now grown) would answer?

It very likely would not compare. Humans are shaped by their subjective experiences not by incoming data and you cannot know what a subject is experiencing solely through the incoming data (except if you have a theory accurately modeling the mind of the subject which is exactly what we are currently missing).

Your LLM won't experience the subject's heartbreaks, joy, grief, shame, hope etc. It will have heard and be able to talk about those, but it will not give accurate answers about what it felt like. Also it won't be able to predict/model accurately how the subject has been changed by those experiences so it could make very wrong assumptions about what the subject could/would do in the future.
