That's the cost for integration with the immobilizer. Car keys and fobs have chips that signal to the onboard computer, and may use a variety of techniques such as rolling codes to make the cars harder to steal. Gone are the days when you can easily hotwire a car by yanking and touching random wires together from the steering column.

Kia and Hyundai are among the last brands to be selling cars without them, and that's the reason they've been targeted so heavily by car thieves.

If you have one key and lost one, you can use the one you have to more easily reprogram the other.

However, if you have lost all of your keys, a technician needs physical access to your car to reprogram everything together.

Add on top of that the licensing cost for the software to do the programming (you don't want random people having easy access to reprogramming your locks after all) . Reprogramming keys is a fairly low-volume sale, especially if you need access to the car to do it (hard to scale volume remotely) so the per-key cost is much higher as a result.
Where I'm from there's a tired old joke, the punchline of which is that the mechanic calls back that the car will be ready in three weeks. Only issue being - the customer came in with a piece of bent aluminium roofing sheet.

My point is that mechanics deal with more challenging problems on a daily basis and it's actually easier to have one bent out of shape piece that costs X, instead of several pieces forming the same section of the car, each bent out of shape in a cascade of damage and costing e.g. 0.6X each.

Personally I paid the most for replacing parts that contained electronics - like a rear bumper with parking sensors.

A name-brand parking sensor can go for as much as a second-hand quarter panel.
Does coffee script support standard async constructs? Then you can have concurrency bugs. They may be more limited than the bugs you’ll see in languages that support parallel execution but they can still happen, all you need is to read a value at one time, and have any possibility it has been changed at the point you depend on it.
Every bodybuilder in any competition that isn't labeled as a natural competition uses them. That's just how bodybuilding turned out. Sure, you could debate on if that is good, but then don't argue about the athletes using them, but the orgs allowing it.

In what alternate timeline do we exist where HNers believe you can just recompile the entire world for the sake of any random program? Say you're a random user calling bind() or getpeername() in your OS's socket library. Or you're Microsoft, trying to secure a function like WSAConnect(). All of which are susceptible to overflows in struct sockaddr. Your proposal is "just move the length from 3rd parameter into the sockaddr struct" because "it's not that important to keep these APIs the way they are"?! How exactly do you propose making this work?
That's not really a limitation for professionals, though.

Built-in component libraries are always going to be incomplete, and literally all of them kinda suck. Professional PCB designers almost always have to either create their own footprints from the datasheet, or get them from someone else who did. Trusting third-party footprints is probably the easiest way to end up with fundamentally broken prototypes which are nothing more than fancy desk decorations - I can unfortunately speak from experience.

The built-in libraries are basically only used for trivial things like resistor footprints, 2.54mm headers, or solder jumpers. KiCad's libraries are more than good enough for that.

I.e. you want the government to run industry. That never works well.

> all audited by a dedicated regulatory body to ensure that comp and waste don't go into excess

Since when has that ever worked for government run operations?

> The hope would be that the industry doesn't actually profit off of human suffering

I.e. industry works to alleviate suffering by providing the things that suffering people want. Their motivation is to make a profit.

The profit tends to be far less than the waste from the inefficiency of government industry.

BTW, the drug industry would serve us a lot better if they weren't strangled by FDA regulations and a screwed up patent system.

Star Trek may have made us think that Class M planets are abundant, but the probability of detecting intelligent life on any given habitable planet is remote. There may be many Class M planets within our detection range, but the trick is to find one that has an intelligent civilization at precisely this moment in time minus the time it takes for radio signals to reach Earth.

Let’s say that Earth is about 4.5 billion years old and that intelligent life has been externally detectable for about 120 years since radio was invented around 1900. And it’s by no means certain that just because a civilization on a given Class M planet achieves radio signal generation that it will soon achieve warp drive technology and build a fleet of starships. That civilization could simply watch episodes of the Golden Bachelor while consuming all of its available resources and then fade away. Or just blow each other up.

I’m not saying that intelligent life outside of Earth does not or has never existed. We can only detect a small part of the known universe. And we can only detect what’s going on roughly right now because there isn’t a WayBack Machine for interstellar radio signals.

All this requires the combination of several low probability events:

* A planet must be within detectable range of Earth.
* A civilization must have developed.
* The civilization needs to survive for a meaningful period of time. One century is not meaningful.
* The civilization must be visible essentially right now.

The combination of those events yields a very low probability.

I’m not saying that the search for intelligent life on other planets isn’t interesting or worthwhile, but I do think that Elon Musk should stop wasting his time on space travel and start spending it on global warming. That will give us the best chance of extending our run as an intelligent civilization.

Yes and no -- yes, theoretically the output should only be based on the input - if you input 1+3 instead of 1+2, the answer given should be 4, not 3.

Optimization exists though, and an interface and search algorithm isn't a simple calculator. Suggesting the correct term when you misspell or mistype something is precision -- it's both identifying the lack of results for your erroneous input, and suggesting the correct input to get the result you're most likely searching for.

That's literally the point of optimization. If Search was still the same as it was in the late 90's, Google wouldn't be able to do half the things it does.

Are you going to make similar gripes about autocomplete, or GPS that reroutes when you fail to make the planned/"correct" turn?

Comparing an intelligent and contextual search interface and result, with simple arithmetic, is a patently false analogy.

>See this fascinating article about Western CNCs used in the production of Iskander missiles

Pretty much all Russian factories run on US/Europe equipment. It's not really a secret, not sure what's surprising about that.

>Think also secondary sanctions, i.e. sanctions against countries and organizations that help circumvent sanctions. For example, companies in, say, China or Uzbekistan profiteer by selling to Russian companies components bought from the West. Let’s make them face a dilemma: if you do business with Russia or NK you will be cut off from the West.

You'll have to sanction dozen of countries then. It's not really practical.

If west really wants to deal a blow to Russia then they need to make oil super cheap somehow, that would stop Russia really fast. Unfortunately that will never happen too...
New server is roundabout $20,000 if you were to pay for the free CPU upgrade. Old server was about $5,000.

It's really hard to say how much faster it is going to be, but it's at definitely much faster than the old server. I was not really having performance problems before either, though. The main obstacle was just dealing with insane volumes of data with limited RAM and disk.

Whereas the sources spoon-feeding them this attitude are, of course, unimpeachable. (They don't redact, or admit fault.)

I generally find that anyone expecting error-free perfection in any subjective field from an entire industry can be safely dismissed as a complete idiot. Intelligent people look at the processes that produce outcomes, not the outcomes.

(In this case, the process that produced the outcome was a former DDG employee mailing in an oped of incredibly questionable quality that criticized a DDG competitor, that was eventually pulled. Wired should look into reading op-eds before publishing them.)

Is this true in anything besides cinebench? It’s always cinebench I see cited and that’s possibly the most useless efficiency figure available (bulk FPU tasks with no front end load is stuff that should be done on gpu, largely, CFD and other HPC workloads aside).

How does it do in JVM efficiency (IDE) or GCC (chrome compile) efficiency? How does it do in openFOAM efficiency?

But it’s always cinebench.

You may be right!

Since I don't use Google search much anymore, and have my search history turned off anyway, I can't recall any specific examples from my own life. So, I searched and found internet threads like this one:

https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/144207/google-fo...

Where the complaint is that searching for "map accuracy" (in quotes) results in pages without that literal string in them, implying that Google is ignoring the quotes to give the user what it thinks is a better list of results.

But, when I try to duplicate this three year old problem, I can't replicate it, at least not on the first page of results.

And when I try to contrive my own example, searching for a literal phrase that would not exist in any web document (an example: "He beheld nonlinear radish-scented vestments") there are 0 results, which is exactly what I'd expect if Google was obeying the quotation marks.

So, this is probably not true anymore, and you've got me doubting my memory now, but I am still fairly certain that it has happened to many on multiple occasions. /shrug
Even providing facts is a subjective, opinionated process. Which facts are provided, which are left out, which are contextualized, whether or not active or passive voice is used[1] and which are not can completely invert the meaning of a story.

[1] 'The gun went off and the shot hit Mr. Smith's head' versus 'Officer Sloan shot Mr. Smith in the head.' [2]

[2] Both of these are 'just the facts', but one of them blames the gun for going off, the other blames the person who made the gun go off. Passive voice versus active voice, very different presentation of the same facts, both are correct, and both are biased.

This. It doesn’t matter what you do, conspiracy theorists can and will justify it as a conspiracy.
Pretty close. Without getting into what is “cheaper and easier”, the work you need to do to publish is a bit different from the amount of work you need to do to: identify targets, set up screening assays, screen hundreds of thousands of compounds, find/optimize a hit, set up secondary assays, optimize the lead compound, do all kinds of physchem/tox/safety studies, select an indication, test in animal models if good ones exist, try and find a suitable dose range, and put all that into a package to support a phase 1 trial. This is part what I’ve seen on the biology side of things, and it only scratches the surface of what the chemistry (small-batch synthesis and the scale-up), pharmacology, and associated people contribute.

Lots of people can synthesize and test a compound in vitro. Doing the above is another challenge because it needs to work reliably in humans.

And yes, from my understanding, universities are getting better at patenting and licensing their IP. Some even do some basic drug discovery IIRC.

> This is capitalism working as intended: taking a captive market (eg diabetics that cannot live without insulin) and extracting wealth from them to the hands of a very few.

People can't live without food, either, but every historical attempt at government agriculture has resulted in famine. With swinish capitalists engaging in food production, we're all the fattest people in history.

As for the "very few", anyone can buy stock in Big Pharma and get their fair share of the wealth.
You would. I, and most other people using the Internet on a crappy mobile keyboard wouldn't.

Changes over time is a situation where I'd prefer static types. If I change the shape of some data, why would I ever want a system that didn't tell me what I just broke at compile time?
Yes, I use this site as the paragon of page weight. When other sites I visit are routinely throwing 200MB (MB!) pages at me, this site is throwing 60KB, of which 54KB is content! It's the benchmark I measure all my design against.

Features - Save all open tabs using right click (or command ALT / Option A)

- Save any link ( ALT + C )

- Discover collections that are public on the explore page

- Share whole profile link

- Access everything (search + all bookmarks + collections) from extension itself so no need to visit the website for these things :)

> Even earlier in the year, each time a new GPT model came out, people on here predicted the end of the world with increasingly manic fervour.

It's definitely not the majority opinion though, either by vote count or by number of comments.

Like, I get the annoyance, but... this is part of the problem, right? People are deciding that other people who worry about safety are doomers and annoying and it's not worth engaging with their object-level arguments. Discussions of AI safety get systematically shut off by saying they're just doomers, or saying they've watched too much Terminator, or saying they're neckbeard idiots who don't realize the real threat is capitalism and therefore open-source AI couldn't possibly be a safety concern...

There's a debate that need to be had, every time people mention the safety concerns they get told off and dismissed, and then they're being told that they're doomer and everybody is sick of this debate already, which basically means "stop bringing these threats up".
Looks nice. I'm still rather partial to uLisp (http://www.ulisp.com), but it's great to see this.

KiCad has been significantly improving its library management lately. With 6.0 it got a Plugin and Content Manager, allowing you to trivially add external content libraries to it. The 7.0 release added support for ODBC-based Database Libraries, allowing you to hook it up to basically any database you want in order to provide part metadata.

Personally, I thought 5.0 was a big pain to use. With 6.0 it actually got kinda decent, but I still had to write custom code to work around a few of its warts. However, 7.0 shows that it is rapidly moving towards being a serious threat to the proprietary market leaders, and I can't wait to see what the future will bring!
First, need to gather more info. For example, we in Ukraine few years ago seen huge number of fake reviewers from India, few times more than Ukrainian market, and in most cases just prohibit Indian IPs was enough to resolve.
