Agreed. It's really only based on a focus group of various audiences and surveys on what parents (dis)agree regarding certain content and how old you should be to view it.

The closest thing to government intervention is the FCC, since the govt. does have some regulations on how TV and Radio can run (since the govt. infrastructure is used to broadcast). e.g.:

>Broadcasting obscene content is prohibited by law at all times of the day. Indecent and profane content are prohibited on broadcast TV and radio between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., when there is a reasonable risk that children may be in the audience.

So the only things really controlled are profanity (i.e. a relatively tiny list of words you must not say or bleep out) and "obscenity" (feel free to look up that govt. definition. Enjoy the rabbit hole). As for "indecency"

>Indecent content portrays sexual or excretory organs or activities in a way that is patently
offensive but does not meet the three-prong test for obscenity.

so, not really much for radio. Mostly prevents non-artistic/educational genitalia for TV's sake.

but all that was a tangent. The internet is not under FCC protocol and the FCC only endorses certain advertising, spam, and malware related issues, not content.

Ask HN: What's the point of automated skill assessment tests in the age of AI?
Back in the day there were two choices: refuse do do it or jump through the hoops. Today nobody I know bothers with automated skill assessment tests any more. Folks just feed it into ChatGPT and be done.

Yesterday I've applied to a role I found interesting, received a confirmation email and seconds later - skill assessment test link. So it looks like nowadays humans no longer bother reading the CVs, it's all left to the bots. The test involved a tech stack I was not familiar with, so I thought it would be a good opportunity for the ChatGPT and it handled it well without even breaking a sweat. The though occurred to me that today one side uses AI to create and evaluate these tests and the other side uses AI to complete them. Is this the new reality? What's even the point?

For the longest time, at least the visual representation of trains at a level crossing strongly implied challenges around object permanence for Tesla.

I will say that I recognize that the visual representation may not be a 1:1 (in fact quite certainly isn't) mapping of the computer's "world view".

But it was quite ridiculous and definitely disconcerting seeing a level crossing with a train going through it and seeing the Tesla I was in acting like there was a traffic light that was erratically going red, while dozens of semi trucks flickered in and out of existence across the screen in front of me.
How about this: we support Hamas financially in order to keep Gaza and West Bank separated. Then we increase settlements on the West Bank while the international community turns a blind eye. What could go wrong?

Our politicians love to pass laws and feel proud of themselves for doing so. But from where I'm sitting, I see a lot of people not caring and doing whatever they want with zero consequences.

My city is small enough that not only is a 15 minute city a feasible option, it could be a reality today with a couple small infrastructure changes.

Almost all European nations currently believe that it's perfectly okay for 14-16 year old children to have sex with adults. I'd argue if we are so concerned about children's safety we should first change the law so pedos are not legally allowed to groom and have sex with children in the EU.

The most hilarious thing about all of this is CSAM and online safety stuff is that Europe is totally backwards when it comes to child sexual safety. You might recall that recently in the UK Hollywood celebrity and sex-addict Russel Brand would frequently call taxis to pick up his 16 year old fan girls from school so he could have sex with them. This was perfectly legal because pedophilia is legal in most of Europe.
Automatic enforcement of driving laws should absolutely be a thing. People often argue "but they can't prove who was driving the car!" Its simple answer to me. Whoever registered the car is by default responsible for the actions of the car.

If that car gets found doing something obviously illegal (speeding, running a red light, some kind of "reckless driving" camera review, etc) the registered owner is automatically assigned blame. They can potentially file paperwork to the court to prove someone else was driving (a lease arrangement, some valet ticket along with some proof from the restaurant or whatever at the time, a sworn statement from another individual confessing to it, etc). But ultimately by default the owner of the car is responsible for the safe handling of the vehicle. If you're worried someone is going to break the law with your car, don't give them your keys. If you don't like this, find another form of transportation.

Tag enforcement needs to be stronger. If an automated system sees a tag that doesn't make sense, it should be immediately flagged and enforcement dispatched. Lots of cops already have ALPRs, those should immediately trigger. I see so many cars out there with sketchy paper tags, this whole thing needs to be shut down.

Driving a car on public streets shouldn't be nearly as easy as it is in the US. Far too many people don't treat driving with the respect it needs.
Doesn't even need to be 5-10x the population density. The "inner ring" of Paris is similar density to San Francisco and supports a metro system that I think most would agree makes car trips unnecessary. But the "rebuild the city" part might still be somewhat necessary.
> Inability to minimize to tray on Linux

Birdtray [1] works perfectly for this. I think the only thing you have to is create a .desktop file that opens birdtray that opens Thunderbird automatically.

> Inability to easily edit the from address

There is a feature for this for quite a while. In the write message window, just click the down arrow next to 'From' and either choose a pre-configured identity [2] or click "Customize From Address" which allows you to freely edit the from address.

> And TB still doesn't "remember" which -from- addresses are used by which -to- address.

Not sure what you mean, but there is a 'Reply from this identity when delivery headers match' config in account settings. I have never used it, but it allows you to automatically choose an identity when you are replying to a email from a particular address/domain.

Musk has repeatedly stated that Teslas on FSD/AP are safer than humans, now.

You can take issue with the veracity of his claims (and I certainly do, on several levels), but let's not pretend like "no-one is selling this, yet" - let's also not forget, "The driver is only in the seat for legal reasons. The car is driving itself" - that was six years ago now.

> For a long time NestJS depended on class-validator ... and regularly suffers from security vulnerabilities that can take years to fix.

As a maintainer of class-validator, I'd like to clarify that this is not accurate. Legitimate security issues, when reported, are promptly addressed. The multi-year security alert listed in NIST NVD is akin to the bogus report that the curl maintainer discussed a few months ago.

In a nutshell, the report suggests that specific settings can potentially lead to validation bypass, which is indeed the case because these settings determine whether unknown objects should fail or pass the validation. This is analogous to my creating a CVE for Windows simply because anyone can access my computer when I haven't set a password.

However, the other part about the scare support is sadly true though.

I’ve got 5+ rides with each platform and would agree with this assessment. Cruise rides generally have a few uncomfortable moments per ride with some erratic swerving or sudden unexplained stops.

Waymo rides feel much more predictable and human like.

Although note that “human like” and “smooth” rides do not necessarily mean safer, but qualitatively Waymo feels that way.

TLDR: The main culprit is encapsulation at a granular level. Explicitly associating functions with data types systematically.

A side note: I personally think this applies to "OOP as done in the industry". There are exceptions. Erlang for example.
Very well put. As someone who has been diagnosed and struggled with it all my life, you've captured it really succinctly.
I mean maybe if you're a small town and want to stay a small town. Large cities, should definitely drive most transportation away from personal vehicles/pods. Its simply a space/first principles issue [1]. The math seems 100x less scalable, simply because you hate being around other humans (in which case what are you doing in a big city anyway).

This is just a general problem. Companies very often kill people and get fines. The body count before a company starts to get close to "this might kill the company" is absurdly high.

Consider, the Dalkon shield which had a hospitalization rate of 5 in 1000 and a death toll easily in the 1000s (maybe 10s of thousands). [1] The company went bankrupt but not defunct. It is now a part of Pfizer. Nobody experienced any sort of jail time in association with the deaths (and, after it was banned, they started selling the dalkon shield in poorer regions).

A serial killer killing 10 people gets the death penalty, yet there exist mining companies that have easily killed 1000s of employees with silicosis (and are still operating today, looking at you Dow [2]).

That's not it, the 2022 segment numbers have been recast to account for that reporting change. Most of the difference seems to be explained in the "Reductions in Our Workforce and Office Space" section ($870M) and a reduction in hedging gains ($639M).
At the same time our government wants to increase the cost of public transportation [1] with the age old argument that it is too expensive compared to the cost of individual transportation.

While I don't have the numbers to analyze the costs it just doesn't make sense to me that a car with a single driver can be more cost effective than a bus, tram or train I guess the automobile lobby has convinced loads of my colleagues that individual transportation is price-comparable to public transport, even in Switzerland...

The problem is that the bar for autonomous cars is perfection as far as public perception goes.

Right now, any incident involving a autonomous car is going to immediately be blamed on the autonomous car and not any other party, even if the fault lies entirely on the dickhead running the red light.

It won't be enough for autonomous cars to merely not cause crashes, people will expect them to actively avoid them, even in cases where a human would have failed.
> 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.

Quite the contrary. If the software in question has been written in a remotely sane way, adding some basic pledge restrictions is a matter of adding one line: pledge("stdio rpath whatever you need", NULL) - it usually goes somewhere in main, after setup() but before while(!quit).

You can usually figure out the permission set within a few attempts, even without a very good understanding of the internals, as most (sane) programs will do only a couple of things: an httpd needs to accept connections, read static files, write logs, etc; a window manager needs to talk to X11, open font files, etc; of course there are also complex beasts like Chrome but that one has been done as well.

The *real* challenge is breaking up a complex program (e.g. a streaming music player) into separate processes that are concerned with just one or two things, e.g. separate process to make requests over the network, a separate one to decode media, another to maintain an on-disk cache, and so on. Placing restrictions on these subprocesses is the easy part; figuring out where to draw these lines is what's hard.
