CA DMV statement [1] has some more information:

Today’s suspensions are based on the following:

13 CCR §228.20 (b) (6) – Based upon the performance of the vehicles, the Department determines the manufacturer’s vehicles are not safe for the public’s operation.

13 CCR §228.20 (b) (3) – The manufacturer has misrepresented any information related to safety of the autonomous technology of its vehicles.

13 CCR §227.42 (b) (5) – Any act or omission of the manufacturer or one of its agents, employees, contractors, or designees which the department finds makes the conduct of autonomous vehicle testing on public roads by the manufacturer an unreasonable risk to the public.

13 CCR §227.42 (c) – The department shall immediately suspend or revoke the Manufacturer’s Testing Permit or a Manufacturer’s Testing Permit – Driverless Vehicles if a manufacturer is engaging in a practice in such a manner that immediate suspension is required for the safety of persons on a public road.

Misrepresenting safety seems like a big deal.

Edit: This Vice article [2] says Cruise tried to withhold pedestrian injury footage from the DMV.

> In the Order of Suspension, the California DMV said that the Cruise vehicle initially came to a hard stop and ran over the pedestrian. After coming to a complete stop, it then attempted to do a “pullover maneuver while the pedestrian was underneath the vehicle.” The car crawled along at 7 mph for about 20 feet, then came to a final stop. The pedestrian remained under the car the whole time.

> The day after the incident, DMV representatives met with Cruise to “discuss the incident.” During that meeting, Cruise only showed footage up to the first complete stop, according to the Order of Suspension. No one at Cruise told the officers or showed any footage of the subsequent pullover maneuver and dragging. The DMV only learned of that from “another government agency.” When DMV asked for footage of that part of the incident, Cruise provided it.

Pledge works well if the software developers implement it on their own application.

It also works well if the software developers document what syscalls they rely on and what permissions they need.

When it comes to retrofitting something like pledge (or seccomp) into an existing application when you've not developed it and/or can't easily tell what syscalls are being called then it's always a nightmare.

It doesn't really matter if it's pledge or seccomp at that point (although undoubtedly seccomp is far harder to make use of), if you're doing this kind of security by retroactive whitelist, you're going to have trouble making it work. It's going to take time and effort to implement.

There certainly are pilots unions in the USA and other countries. I don't know what percentage of commercial pilots are unionized, and I don't know how much real power the unions have. When push comes to shove they may be prohibited from striking, as air travel is an essential service (remember when President Reagan fired the striking PATCO controllers). One difference there is that air controllers are FAA employees and pilots are employees of the airlines.

So, with pilots in short supply generally, and if they had a strong union you'd think that they'd be in a position to command good compensation.
They usually have the mindset of "let's put enough propellant so that even if our estimates are orders of magnitude off the mission will live long enough", and normally their estimates are correct so they end up with tons of fuel

Many gun owners keep their guns in a bag, purse or backpack that’s full of other things.

Many people don’t clean out and repack their bags before traveling.

Many people are absent minded.

Combine all these and you get a pretty large intersection of people who accidentally bring their gun to the airport. I think most people have accidentally brought a water bottle, scissors etc to the airport or even accidentally through security. For many Americans, a firearm is just another item like those.
This is really cool. Thanks! Just subbed.
> But it is not the goal of a government to be profitable, nor is it to hand technologocal monopolies to eratic billionaires.

So instead it should award contracts - without any competition even - to big established aerospace firms such as Boeing, Lockheed-Martin and Aerojet? SpaceX, by contrast, won its most important NASA contracts (ISS cargo and crew, HLS) by open competition.

> Supporting alternatives is always good, and it maintains know-how and technology at different companies, which is also a good thing.

If NASA wanted to do that, they would have spread the SLS/Orion money around newer and more innovative players (not just SpaceX-Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Axiom, Relativity, etc), rather than giving billions to Boeing/Lockheed/Aerojet/etc to keep alive technologies from the 1970s. Of course, Congress wouldn’t let NASA do that

>400K in student loans for a computer science engineering degree seems pretty steep

I did a little adjustment to the numbers in the sense I put them closer to the numbers actual doctors pay for their schooling, not exactly programmer pay. On average doctors pay and programmers pay is very similar. Doctors schooling and programmers schooling is nothing alike at all. Moreso, it's far easier to get blacklisted as a doctor then a programmer for any number of reasons (programmer ethics, lol funny). Where you have more risks, more regulations, and more costs the more likely the default behavior becomes to toe the line.

It is an interesting question. I've worked with a fair bit of geo-data, and found pretty much any sufficiently large geo-dataset, regardless of whether it's crowd-sourced or purchased from a commercial provider tends to have a fair number data accuracy issues.

If you spend any time on either OpenStreetMap or Google Maps in the rural US, and you are very likely to find both missing streets, and streets that have been completely hallucinated out of nothing -- mostly because they were both originally sourced from the US CENSUS TIGER data -- a US govt data set that tends to be full of errors.

OpenStreetMap contributors of often improve these issues over time (though it largely depends on if the area you care about has some sufficiently dedicated mapper).
Show HN: I made a CLI that will use GPT4 to generate unit tests
I always hated tests, so I've gone and just automated the task away. You'll get out complete tests that are known to pass from this tool. If you just want to try it out, here's the command to run for the entire project

npx deepunit -- --a

To run for just a specific file(s)

npx deepunit -- --f path/to/file.ts

For complete documentation: https://www.npmjs.com/package/deepunit

Behinds the scenes there's a whole lot going on to get code that runs and compiles. I'm sure you've already used ChatGPT to write a simple function and found that most of the time there are small things to fix up before it's ready to run. A ton of time was spent handling each of those edge cases to ensure that the output is a test that runs and passes.

Intent (“willfully”) matters.

If you believe the statement is true when you say it, it isn’t perjury. It’s just incorrect.

You wouldn't be carrying it accidentally. If you carry one every day then you typically forget about it.

Having one in the luggage is a bit different. In all likelihood he used that bag for a car trip and just left the gun in there. That's a bit harder to explain imo because I generally start with an empty bag when I pack for a flight but it could happen if it's in a separate compartment or something. Some people own a lot of guns and knowing exactly where they are at all times is just not feasible.
Thanks for referring me to that thread :) Great stuff!
Nothing motivates me more to improve than an additional, unnecessary, 1+ hour commute. It's nothing but a loyalty / desperation test.
I got a nice photo printer on Craigslist for $150 that can print 13x19” borderless. I guess you could just print a bunch of flat sheets and make a little stack and just manually swap them from time to time. I am a photographer and I have more photos than wall space so rotating a featured photo sounds kinda nice actually.

Regarding TypeORM - recommending Prisma feels a bit like throwing out the baby with the bath water. If I'm reading their Github issues correctly, they are slowly starting to use JOIN statements in their generated SQL. It may be fine for an ORM to perform local joins during alpha, but anything after that really should use the features DBs provide for these kinds of basic things.

Most of the UK absolutely does not. In order to get payback numbers like that, you basically have to have no loft insulation at all, and previous government insulation schemes were so sucessful that there were already very few homes left with no loft insulation by 2008: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2008/sep/27/energy.loft.in...

For a while after that, the government funded insulation top-ups in order to get an impressive sounding number of installs they could brag about, but those had much worse return on investment and that program was killed off a few years later. The thing is that we have an election coming up and a lot of the British press want the party that was in power back then and still is to lose, so they've pushed the narrative that cancelled insulation program would've achieved a lot more than it could've in reality and that people would've been saved from high energy bills if the government hadn't cancelled it for being too woke. There's been similar nonsense about other things like onshore wind for the same reason.

Anyway, at least in the UK the problem is that almost all of the easy, high-return on investment insulation upgrades have been done, and the only way to have a substantial impact is through ones that have payback times in the decades. If the era of zero interest rates is over permanently, that's basically equivalent to saying they'll never pay back the cost in many cases.
In your original comment, you suggest "misplaced anger against Facebook". Many people hold the belief that Facebook's products are harmful to children.

Following from that, I can imagine a few viewpoints:
0) Parents are wrong, Facebook is awesome!
1) Facebook has violated existing laws (these lawsuits are exploring that space).
2) Parents should be frustrated with legislators for failing to regulate social media.
3) Parents should be angry with themselves for allowing their children to use Facebook's products.

I'm curious which (if any) of these viewpoints you hold.
Thanks for the tip! That's how I've gone about it so far. Was just wondering if perhaps anyone had already tried and tested playlists.

When a number of the very same companies that use X/Twitter have settings that ensure only Verified (i.e. Subscription) users can message them, it fails to be useful for regular customer support like it was.

That aside, scammers and fakes have only gotten worse on the platform post-takeover.
Also, China has stated a timeline to net zero. That timeline does call for more coal short term but then a decline and phase out as they build more and more solar, hydro, and nuclear.

China can plausibly actually meet their goals on that timeline.

Compare to the US where every time control of the White House or Congress changes parties there is a good chance the US will change its climate goals, or even abandon them. A good majority of US voters want the US to seriously address climate change, but the party that doesn't want that wins about half the elections (in large part due to gerrymandering).
Somewhat related: I wonder how much next-generation biotech is essentially complete, but waiting in regulatory queues? As a layperson, it certainly felt like we got mRNA COVID-19 vaccines _shockingly_ quickly after governments decided they were a priority. The BioNTech website shows 36 technologies in their pipeline that have passed the "preclinical phase".
Blue no longer means "verified." It now means "X Premium Subscriber." Features listed here[0]. The Gold/Grey checkmark is now the old Blue "Verified" checkmark (Gold for orgs and Grey for Government/Elected Officials).

In essence they redefined "Blue checkmark" from notable person/org to "gives us money" and then directly replaced it with something else.

I tried to pay different tax accountants twice, and get free advice from a friend that does taxes for billionaires. I'm 0/3 for having a professional get my taxes right. Luckily I've avoided any penalties over the years, though.

On the other hand, I asked my wife to give me a back massage, so she booked an appointment for me at the spa down the road. I wasn't expecting her to delegate that, but it was still nice...
I don't know anything about this person other than what's on his Wikipedia. And what that says is: he's a 65-year old former diplomat and noted human rights activist with (as far as I can tell) zero history of violence or terrorist acts.

If the government seriously thinks he's capable of following through on violent acts because he wrote a Tweet saying "I support Hamas", I suspect the government is badly mismanaging its anti-terrorism resources. If the government doesn't think he's going to follow up that Tweet with action and is "merely doing it because the law says they can", that's pretty much the definition of harassment.
To some people, it's as natural as carrying a water bottle, breath mints, toothbrush. When it's not on their person, it's in the briefcase, backpack, glove compartment. I've forgotten water bottles in backpacks more than once.
I like this. Large deposit with some gov agency and the money gets awarded to the victim (or refunded to the claimant) when the dispute is finally resolved. You don't submit a claim unless you're really sure that you'd win.

This is how the DMCA should have been designed in the first place.
Any suggestions of tools for redis or other databases to keep state in the database synced with another system?

For example we have a service that writes that continuously does circular writes to a redis database to keep 200 megs up to date for other services to read from.

A lot of time is taken recalculating the data being updated. But its the best way we've found to eventually update even when things are going wrong.

It runs well enough on my desktop, but on my tablet (SP9 with an i7...), each action has 1-2s latency. Ie selecting a new email, opening a compose window etc.

We need a from-scratch desktop email client that is fast and streamlined. I give on Tbird. At least in this version I can figure out how to disable the HTML email formatting and MS-word-style auto-spacing below paragraphs when composing.

Also, search still doesn't work for me.
The majority of the source code is publicly available, though no longer under a traditional open source license. Over time I came to realize I was not really cool with it being used commercially or rebranded without me having some say in that.

The core engine code (pure Java, no UI dependencies) is here:
https://github.com/heronarts/LX

The Processing-based UI layer is here:
https://github.com/heronarts/P4LX

My future version is moving to a UI based upon LWJGL + bgfx, as the project sort of outgrew Processing as it's become a full application.

This new UI layer is here:
https://github.com/mcslee/GLX

I don't publish the code for all the application scaffolding and UI implementation, though everything's designed for extensibility and a sort of plug-in model where having access to that shouldn't be necessary to be able to use and customize the application's behavior.

As referenced in my other comment, this new version should hopefully be available by end of year and will be called Chromatik: https://chromatik.co/ - this will include more documentation! And the goal is for it to be easier to use, no IDE/GitHub required (that will still be available for those who want it), with simpler end-user licensing as found in typical media production software.
> So the only important difference is that Buffer creates a mutable view at slice().

No, it also (from the article):

The proposal for native base64 support for Uint8Arrays is mine. I'm glad to see people are interested in using it. (So am I!)

For a status update, for the last year or two the main blocker has been a conflict between a desire to have streaming support and a desire to keep the API small and simple. That's now resolved [1] by dropping streaming support, assuming I can demonstrate a reasonably efficient streaming implementation on top of the one-shot implementation, which won't be hard unless "reasonably efficient" means "with zero copies", in which case we'll need to keep arguing about it.

I've also been working on documenting [2] the differences between various base64 implementations in other languages and in JS libraries to ensure we have a decent picture of the landscape when designing this.

With luck, I hope to advance the proposal to stage 3 ("ready for implementations") within the next two meetings of TC39 - so either next month or January. Realistically it will probably take a little longer than that, and of course implementations take a while. But it's moving along.

After the big update I had to spend an hour restoring it to a functional state including changing an about:config parameter to get the scaling right. Out of the box I got changes that broke my UI and no "beautiful" new UI to begin with (you need to actively change settings to convert). Also there is still a giant clonky Win98 scrollbar on my folders, so getting that clean look in the marketing screenshots is impossible unless I severely reduce folders so I don't need the scrollbar. Why the scrollbar wasn't replaced with something more modern? No clue.
Algorithm priority, potential of earning money, Tweetdeck, 2FA, other features.
This study mananaged to finance 38 participants worth of MRI time and (likely significant) monetary compensation for all 132 participants. Yet it wastes no more than a couple of sentences on how it threw out 109 participants' worth of data on cognitive tests, resulting in a drop out rate of 83% for the cognitive side of things, and still considers its findings in this area valid.

(section 2.5 - Impact of COVID-19 pandemic)

The discussion similarly does not waste the reader's time on possible validity issues or confounders.

I can only speculate that more scientific rigour would have been applied had it been grant money being thrown around.
This is the standard to which the builders of autonomous vehicles wish to be held. However, this is unlikely in my opinion. I believe instead they will be held to the more rigorous standard of "is there evidence that this is dangerous?"

Note for example today's suit against Meta for alleged harms against children. No such suit against TV aimed at children or e.g. fashion magazines that are well-known to have deleterious effects on children. Autonomous vehicles are new tech, so the bar will be higher.

> We had "complete" software for decades. You can use an iterative development model until all of the major goals are achieved then ship a final product. After that it's just maintenance.

well or its not, depends on the industry but most likely there will be new features etc. You need to be able to ship security features and bug fixes continously - e.g. without manual user action because most users simply don't have mental capacity to upgrade software. Alas continous delivery.
