$700 seems like an insane price point for something like this. I use RetroPie and EmulationStation on a tank stick-style console from MicroCenter.

What is a MiSTeR?

EDIT: oh it’s hardware emulation, not software. And now I understand the $700 price point.
Claiming the Turo earns you is a bit in-genuine. This is a way that a lot of rental companies try to trick you into to paying for unnecessary Insurance.

I get the same warnings for rentals, despite both my insurance and credit are providing coverage.
It's the same as any other large organisation. Someone at the top says "oi, so-and-so has been a real pain lately huh". Someone one level down says "is there anything we can do about so-and-so?". Someone the next level down says "well, let's start a file on so-and-so, see if he's up to anything, no harm in that". And then since UK antiterrorism law is terribly written (or brilliantly written, depending on your perspective) such that essentially everyone with even a vague interest in politics breaks it all the time, and the surveillance state means the proof will be a couple of keystrokes away, once you look for a reason to go after someone you find one.

Probably no-one sat down and designed the system to work like this. But it works well for everyone involved, so...
I love that we're at a point in time where we can compare and contrast two different self driving systems.
This is the way. Just dive in and start with something.
This completely misses the concept that the technology doesn’t just create itself without investment. SOMEONE has to invest for that progress to be made. It’s why I always hated the application of this to tech.
Coming soon to the next release:

"Have you heard about Bing, which let's you harness the power of AI to... Click [here] to visit Bing. Otherwise click [here] to find out more about Bing's powerful AI features."

> "I can't access my Google documents"

"Have you tried Microsoft 365 that harnesses powerful AI to increase your productivity?..."

> "I don't have my favorites or passwords here"

"Did you know about Microsoft... powerful AI... something something AI..."
on fully debugging the above i'm no longer sure most programmers would do worse; by my count i fixed 11 bugs in 21 lines of code. http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/wing.lua has all the gruesome details
The stock market is happy with Microsoft and its relationship with Open AI. That is what I meant, mostly.
What is "free will"?

It's impossible to 100% predict human behavior due to quantum randomness. And people often think things and make decisions which are seemingly random.

On the other hand, people also often follow patterns, most human behavior is predictable. And "free will" is often used in the context of morality or willpower; but almost (if not) everyone will become a bad person, or mentally break and give up, in a certain situation or upbringing.
The comparison against all human drivers is too broad. Typically insurance companies will apply higher premiums to new drivers due to inexperience and a higher likelihood of accidents. It would be better to see comparisons against the safest, most experienced cohort of human drivers.
I was in the same boat. Tried starting my own agency. Had a bit of success, but I was spending a huge chunk of my time just chasing money down. Then I stumbled upon a way to have my cake and eat it too: Becoming a Solutions/Sales Engineer.

It's all the upsides of running your own consultancy, without the downsides of chasing money and customers. I have generally flexible hours, tonnes of autonomy, and have a nice balance of getting to talk to people and coding. None of the coding I do is rocket science-level hard for me because I'm working with the same set of APIs every day, but is incredibly helpful for customers. My boss hardly ever tells me what to do, every week we have a 1/1, asks if the customers I'm helping are happy, and I tell him what I'm helping them do the following week.

It really is the best gig on the planet. I wish I would have known about this path sooner.
I don’t know where you’re g getting that number. Our mid-level car, bought 8 years ago, used was $30k.

A lot of entry level SuVs start at $35k.
> then there will be so much traffic that the experience will be awful for everyone.

Perhaps. It's also possible that current roads could carry vastly more traffic driven by autonomous drivers instead of people. As a regular cyclist, I would be ecstatic if even if every human driven car on the road were replaced by 2 autonomous ones. Buses are some of the worst vehicles to be around on city streets (huge, poor visibility, frequent stops, filthy diesel emissions).
It's not exactly what you have in mind, but my friend walked into local small businesses saying "Hey, can I make you a website?". Then he googled "how to make a website" and figured out how to drag and drop with WordPress. Literally no tech experience, just a few business cards, and it went uphill from there.

He gradually moved into SEO and marketing as his customers wanted that. Right now he has about 40 customers that give him consistent work.

To this day, he's still amazed that I can code and write CSS.
Here is the actual report they were referencing. The last page lists the reasons the doctors believe are the causal factors.

Client-side scanning can't and won't work because:

1. Users can scramble the files to pass scans.
2. Users can use the same client-side scanners as black boxes to verify.

There is no scenario in which client-side scanning works unless the user is not allowed to modify anything on the system. Not the images, not the software.

Mark my words, the only thing this will be good at is identifying honest law-abiding citizens with political causes that are not aligned with their current government. If this passes, real democracy, the sort that ends unpopular government-endorsed laws like race discrimination and prohibition, will die in the EU.
I feel this way too, having gone down the online rabbit hole of urbanist content. We don’t need cheaper Ubers, we need trains!
If I gave you 10 random people to run tests on, you could tell me who the heavy social media users were? Because I could tell you who the heavy smokers were, if you gave me the same.

Social media may have its problems, but these terrible comparison to drugs is silly. It is not going convince anyone but those who already don't like social media.

Well said, I’ll add that I use chrome because the UI loads snappily on every PC I’ve ran it on. High end to trash boxes. I have never seen edge run smoothly on a consistent basis. In fact I could say the same for most modern win apps.
According to this list, this particular group is described as:

> The Base is a predominantly US based militant white supremacist group, formed in 2018. It draws influence from a collection of essays by prominent National Socialist, James Mason, which advocate the use of violence to initiate the collapse of modern society through a ‘race war’ and the subsequent creation of a white ethno-state. This ideology is known as ‘accelerationism’.

Al Qa’ida (AQ) are listed separately:

> Inspired and led by Usama Bin Laden, its aims are the expulsion of Western forces from Saudi Arabia, the destruction of Israel and the end of Western influence in the Muslim world.
Companies have been slipping Airtags into people's bags. People didn't know about them, so they were okay with it.

GDPR mandates that those Airtags must constantly beep, so that people know when they are being stalked.

People now have to deal with bags that constantly beep. It is loud and frustrating.

They think it's GDPR's fault, and insist on going back to the way things were.
Awesome stories and writing that gave me intense second-hand nostalgia if that makes sense. I'm always pleasantly surprised to read about places I'm familiar with on HN. Thank you for sharing.

If you don't mind my asking, where did you move to?
FET7110-C SoM(System on Module) is designed and developed based on the Jinghong(JH)7110 processor of StarFive Technology, with a process of 28 nm, an open source RISC-V architecture, a main frequency of 1.5 GHz, and four integrated RISC-V cores; JH7110 RISC-V chip has been mass-produced, featuring high performance, multi-function and low power consumption, providing powerful GPU processing capability, supporting multi-video coding and decoding, and supporting common function interfaces such as 2xPCIe 2.0, 2xGigabit Ethernet and 2xCAN 2.0. The SoM supports Linux 5.15.0 operating system, which is suitable for the development of industrial vision related applications.
This is the 'best' way, absolutely, but it's not the easiest and it's tricky if you need a regular income.

But even if you try and it doesn't work out 100%, you still learn a ton.

Rob has a new book out, by the way, "The SaaS Playbook". Haven't read it yet, so not sure how it is, but "Start Small, Stay Small" is one of the best business books I've ever read because he went out on a limb with real, practical advice rather than handwavy BS. That means it's a bit dated now, but probably still worth a quick read.
A few issue:

1. People who were too busy to study to learn how to code would definitely be too busy to grind leetcode as well as adults who are already in the industry with families

2. Okay you can reverse a binary tree on the whiteboard. That tells me nothing about whether you are the kind of person that I can assign a task like “a customer has some vague idea of what they want. I need you to figure out the details and come up with a proposal and a design and present it to them and get feedback”. Then if they don’t know the technology, I need them to be able to learn it. This is what I mean by “Customer Obsession”, “Learn and be curious”, “Digging Deep” and dealing with ambiguity. If I need them to lead a project, I need to know they are able to handle items dealing with “scope”.

I want to know if they have a history of “delivering results “.

These are all traits that you were required to show to get a return offer as an intern for a full time job as an L4 consultant working in Professional Services at AWS.

I threw tasks like this at a first year employee who I had mentored as intern and they passed everything I threw at then with flying colors.

At my current job, I’m working with a green field project where everything is ambiguous and I need someone I can throw a poorly defined objective at and they can take the ball and run with it. Leetcode isn’t going to tell me anything.
it's cheaper than IntelliJ, and is more resource efficient believe it or not
This is possible on many devices.

Though I’m not sure I want it.

The possibility of no-trace hidden partitions I can’t disprove the existence of does not seem like it would serve me well in the backroom of some government facility where my rights have been revoked.
"It appears" according to what?

Stuff people made up is a bad reason to blame a company.
I think we agree about working set size - that's what actually matters for performance rather than overall code size. Krste from SiFive was relatively insistent on their recent call - without any proof (citing mysterious customer calls) - that people care about code size of the Linux kernel, not working set size. The performance gain he suggested that came from C instructions due to working set size in the Linux kernel is 3%. This is the performance argument coming from the biggest proponent of the C instructions.

As to what you suggested, I have actually started putting something together to possibly send to the RISC-V foundation from my own experience implementing RISC-V designs, but pretty much nobody is asserting that loops are predominantly 32-bit instructions. Tight loops are often already sitting in a uop cache once you get to a core of reasonable size, so compressed vs uncompressed is completely irrelevant. Contrary to what you seem to be hoping for, correct arguments about working set size and performance are very subtle.

The C instructions aren't free in frequency terms, either. You have significant complexity increases in decoders and cache hierarchies to support them. Making that cost add up to 3% is not that hard.
I must ask myself, when is suffering no other means toward suffering less?
average miles per year for male drivers in the US is 16,550. So 10-20k is smack in the middle average. not a LOT. ok, maybe it's objectively "a lot", but you are no more qualified than the average driver to assess.

maybe it's more compelling to say: as an average driver, EVEN I can see that Cruise is far less competent than Waymo.
Would be nice to list college campuses. At NJIT there were a few food trucks. The best one in my opinion was a blueish truck with an old lady on the side. Had amazing food and great prices. The guy who ran the truck also loved to talk to people. He was going through a rough patch and mentioned that he was loosing money. Didn't want to raise prices but it was becoming too expensive to run. Closed after my freshman year.
Not everything in the world revolves around the USA. The UK had an ongoing terrorism problem in Northern Ireland, and had instituted plenty of draconian laws of its own pursuant to that, even before Biden became a Senator in 1972.
Au contraire!

You can also get there by leeching money from the hapless rich. The Emperor’s new clothier was sure to be cashing in on the emperor’s vanity, not unlike many startup founders have done here.
An advanced country is one where as many people as possible can go where they want, when they want, as cheaply as feasible. In the US, autonomous vehicles are the best bet for facilitating this in urban areas.
No this is only happening for Chrome. No issues when downloading Firefox or Brave. I tried it on Edge/Win11.
They know something you don’t also: there’s going to be a war. Not because China is doomed or collapsing but because it’s not.
Yes. It’s like Zapier that connects various APIs together but instead of no-code blocks that marketing/sales/product teams use, we are an API itself that developers can use to build integrations that are natively coupled into your product. This way your users don’t really know that you’re using Revert
The problem is for the bus to stop near you, it has to stop often. To stop often, it has to move slowly, which means it will take forever to get to your destination. A separation of local and express busses you transfer between could possibly help. But if the theory is that you’re going to take a local, to get to an express, to get to a local near your destination, then you’ve wasted a ton of time on transfers. Good luck getting to your destination in less than an hour.

I’m a fan of public transit and have experienced many good public transit systems. The unfortunate truth is that in any neighborhood with less-than-extreme population density, you have to shape your life around the system by living and working near core transit lines to get reasonable travel times. That works great for people who can do that (I’ve done it myself!), but a better system could aim higher to serve the entire public. The American built environment simply can’t be adequately served by traditional bus networks.
> Aren't they operating under a lot of constraints? The comparison should be with human drivers operating under similar conditions and on similar roads, similar cars(eg. new ones), weather conditions etc.

The insurance data for the comparison is from the zip codes Waymo currently operates in, so all of that is accounted for. Here is the full study: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.01206.pdf
And one thing that won’t harmonize with my world view is that this executive is actually a very capable engineer, extremely smart, but instead of using that knowledge for good (as I believe all true engineers would), no, “let’s push adware onto Windows unchecked”. Frustrating.
Not an expert at all but I'm preparing to go through assisting someone with CAR-T therapy soon. This is just from what I've seen with their treatments and visits so far.

In the previous chemotherapy it was dosed at regular intervals and they could make adjustments to the speed of the dose, supplemental medication, and maybe dose size(?) but the close supervision was more or less right around infusion followed by 3 weeks without medical care. With the CAR-T we're looking at about a week of 8 hours every day in the clinic, followed by 3 weeks of slightly fewer days each week. In addition the caretakers (family/friends) are to monitor the patient at all other times for signs of cytokine release and the neurological effects. There are steroids used to reduce the impact of both but they need to be applied fast enough. The patient is supposed to be monitored 24/7 for a month, and for patients who live more than a hour from the clinic they have to stay in a hotel and cannot go home.

It seems more serious than the initial chemo cycle but it seems to me that part of that is because they inject the modified cells then just watch.
I am you. Or more accurately I am what you want to be.

I started in a small business as employee #1 (with the founder as #0). We wrote bespoke software for customers. When that well proved unreliable as income we built products and took them to market (much more reliable risk of actually getting a salary this month.)

Over a long career I've had the freedom to elite what I want, release when I want, with any cadence I want and so on.

Of course I also learned what my customers like, what they don't like, and what they like, but I don't like. Inevitably (because I like to eat) my work patterns match what they like.

I font have 1 boss now. I have 1000. With 1000 voices all at the same time. Some are louder. Some are more useful. (The most useful are seldom loud).

Ultimately I do provide enough value for them to graciously pay me. But make no mistake - it was very hard (non programming) work to get here. The key insight was marketing. I have spent probably half my career actively marketing - and for a long time that included a lot of travel. I have visited my potential customers in small groups I cities across the globe. Multiple times. I've run training courses, attended industry conferences, processed orders, and so in.

Independent means doing -all- the jobs, not just programming. If you want to make a living this way (and i do) just be aware that there's still a million things to do. Programming might be the fun part, but you need enough discipline and desire to do the rest as well.
I don't know which 'young people' generation you are talking about but I don't think most of them are actively comparing themselves to previous generations. It is very difficult to accurately compare my quality of life vs say my mothers. Most people are just trying to live life and get by as best as they can. If anything, older generations belittle the younger ones with the 'you've got it easy' comments.

Communism never really took off, so it didn't have far to fall. But nothing lasts forever, so surely capitalism and democracy will give way eventually(in some ways it already has).
Did you mean exceeding the speed limit by 20%?

Because what you actually said is true too, and hints at why "it would be safer" is not a good enough reason to implement something.
They get pushy about Chrome on iOS if you're using any of their other apps iOS too, with a browser menu that opens when you click a link.

This made sense back before iOS let you change the default browser, but it's been several years since then. Google apps should really just obey the system default and open the link I tapped without nagging me.
> Israel by definition can't annex something before it exists.

That seems like a purely semantic argument. If a bunch of people from a particular political movement show up somewhere and seize a bunch of land and declare it's part of their nation, whether that nation is completely new or existing doesn't change the morality of that anywhere. E.g. the formation of South Ossetia on Georgian territory is widely recognised as either annexation or something morally equivalent to it.

> Generally international law recognizes the right for ethnic groups to self-determination (Palestinians often rightly complain that they effectively have not had this in the modern period, but the right applies to both sides). It is not considered annexation for a group from one state to split off and form a new state via self-determination.

That's arguably true for people who declare independence in the territory they're already living in. Not for people who settle on someone else's territory and then claim it as theirs.

Similar feelings. I'm old(?) enough to have wrangled with NT4 in a professional setting, I remember the Halloween documents, the malicious treatment of Java, I even lead the charge on samba deployments.

I don't even own any windows device, but I think csharp might be my current favorite balance of pragmatism and design. I have quite a few rather important things running on dotnet core. I appreciate their un-google hammering persistence on things and the willingness to iterate until they get it right.

I disagree that the poster you replied to was “sealioning”. It seems he was using rhetorical questions to try to make an argument. Basically he was following The Socratic Method.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method

Essentially using questions to challenge assumptions in the form of argumentative dialogue.

This is a legitimate form of having a debate and it has been used for thousands of years. To compare it to the internet trolling practice of sealioning where somebody just asks for evidence repeatedly is disingenuous

5 perfect gives you 100% on those 5 attempts but then your overall % is calculated based on at what margin you missed out on other attempts. ex: if you got 42% instead of 50% in an attempt then that would impact your overall %.
I still remember the time I had to walk an executive back from scheduling a “freeform happy hour” over Zoom…as a means to address Zoom fatigue in the department.
Would it then also be better if people had to churn their own butter? Obviously not. Exercise is fantastic and should be encouraged. I think nothing would do more to facilitate human-powered transportation (walking and biking) than replacing distracted and dangerous human drivers with attentive and safe autonomous ones.
Not cheaper. IntelliJ truly pays itself over a very brief period of time.

Let's say a license is worth about k hours of development time per year. Over the course of 1 year, IntelliJ will save you much more than k hours of development time.

On the other hand, you have VS Code, which needs over k hours to configure in order to get a fraction of what you can achieve with IntelliJ. You paid the same money in a different way and obtained less benefits.
It says basically these internet companies are not publishers so they aren't libel for things that get printed on their platforms. Libel laws was traditionally how publishers have been "regulated" by the gov't / civil courts.
