The things you say are just factually wrong on many levels.

> durable and profitable "dumb" cars

Both of these are pretty much wrong.

First of all, just based on regulation and safety, the car is gone have a huge amount of electronics. Second, regulation about emissions also require a huge amount of electronics. You can't get away from that no matter how dumb you want to make a car. Maybe you don't like it, but society prefers less people to die even if it is not inconvenient for you.

Granted, in many way an old inefficient smaller car is still saver and better for the environment then a modern huge car. But that i a failure of the regulation.

Next the idea is that such cars would be profitable. This is simply inaccurate. Car companies can barley make money on cars as it is, in fact, without parts supply they don't really make money on those cars.

Additionally most consumers simply prefer to buy cars with lots of multimedia options and things like that. Having the ability to warm up your car before you get in is useful for example. Having phone conversations in your car is useful. Having GPS in your car is useful. People like having heated seats. People like having good sound in the car.

People simply aren't buying the cars you seem to be demanding and doing such cars simply wouldn't be profitable. In fact, generally if you look at China you will see an increase in the types of features you don't like.

To suggest an autonomous car company gets into that business makes no sense at all.

And I say this as somebody that doesn't own a car and generally thinks cars should be replaced as much as possible and band in many places.

There are many ways repeatability could be improved without going back to 1960s cars. Many of those should be embraced but you will simply not get around some inherent complexity of the modern world.
Those $18bn Google pays to Apple are not meant to dissuade them from choosing alternatives, but to stop them creating their own - because why leave money on the table?
kagi?
I think borrowing object creation via spreading from JS would be a great option for this. The prefix would be the double , which would also differentiate it from a set. Something like

def foo(long_argument1: str, long_argument2: str):
pass

long_argument1 = “some value”
long_argument2 = “another value”

foo(**{long_argument1, long_argument2})*
Yeah, getting tired of licences like this and stability AI claiming to be open source when they clearly aren't.

Basel should have plenty, no?
I strongly relate. Only for me it wasn't anger but pain, a different perspective of the same thing I imagine. I would always follow my anger and found that it always lead to existence.
I’m not saying people need to achieve nirvana. When the bikini and the miniskirt came out people thought they were scandalous and the end of civilization. Then we all collectively decided that they aren’t a big deal.

Now deepfake nudity is new and everyone is saying they are the end of civilization and if it happens to you your life is ruined. I mean, think about that phrase. Your whole life, ruined. No good anymore. Everything you ever were or could have been, destroyed.

Instead, we could all just decide that this isn’t a big deal. Like we have about many, many things before. Wouldn’t that be better than irrevocably ruining someone’s life if this happens to them?
Hmmmmm, I wonder if there is some way we could setup a website like Local Bitcoins but decentralized? Like with ipfs or i2p or something...
> We lack innovation, it seems nobody is trying?

What about the inclusion of LLM based results in Google and Bing search? Regardless of what you might feel about those results, it's certainly an attempt at innovation.
I am a firm believer of having 10% of ones liquid net worth in cash or equivalent not gatekept by anyone but myself.

This is from extremely hard won personal experience.

Yes, it's a lot of cash. I don't mean keep it all under your mattress.

Edit: A month of your total living expenses including mortgage/rent is what I would deem as both reasonable, and an absolute bare minimum. Not having this on hand would make me feel extremely uncomfortable as you are living at the pleasure and whims of others.
Do database drivers belong in a languages standard library? I think not, to be honest.
> Why does Google currently pays Apple then?

Because Apple knows how to play hardball.

> Why choose Google if they don't benefit from it?

They benefit about $20B a year.
There are free scripts and or tools with free trial like phantombuster.

So the response is 0$.
> This worries me because my mother, who currently resides in a SE Asian nation, is transferring some of her money to me (in the hope that she can use it when she migrates to the US).

The problem is what you are describing is not exactly legal. You are acting as a money transmitter for your mother; and this might even trigger for you some complex tax obligations.

What you should do is open a Chase bank account for your mother. You already bank with the agency.
Exactly and they know this.

The biggest market is mobile now, and people on mobile don't open their web browser on their phone and start typing google.com before they search for something like people used to do on desktops 20 years ago, but they search for something directly in the built-in browser's address bar whichever search engine that might be, as most people stick to the default on their device whichever those might be. Defaults matter.

Apple could probably switch the default search engine in Safari to anything else and most users wouldn't bother changing it back to Google unless the results were to be absolutely terrible.
Much of "Web3" is either a scam or vaporware, that's not really disputed even by cryptocurrency proponents. There also isn't good regulation in most countries currently, in the US for example regulators are dragging their feet, so it's a 'Wild West' type situation like the early internet.

The point is more about banking specifically though, and about taking back control. Grandpa should obviously not swap his life savings for BuzzwordCoin, it's not ready for him. But for someone tech literate like I presume the other user is, holding some emergency funds in a way they have full control could have saved them. Hopefully there will be more integration with the established financial system and easier and safer ways people can move in and out of self custody.
They too were children once.
Maybe Apple can make it too easy to try alternatives or build/purchase their own engine?

Google is a horrible UX since some time and there are paid alternatives like paid engines and LLM’s with access to the internet. Maybe provide that with the paid iCloud subscription?
No, that's the inherent job of an educator, to assess the student's situation which includes physical, mental, and emotional support.

If you want to teach someone anything while yelling at them, or making them uncomfortable because the room is too hot, or by making them do meaningless puzzles that don't relate to the material it deeply compromises your goal of teaching them.
100-150 kms range is fine with you? I’m certainly not going to spend 20k for such range. I might accept lower build quality, less acceleration, slow charging, ugly design… but for 20k I expect at least 250-300 kms of real range in 2023.
It's a common and bad practice because quantitative language belongs in the domain of risk, not uncertainty. Two very different things. Risk is the world of stationary laws and empirical data. Fluid markets, mortality stats, that kind of thing. The "10x AI productivity boost" is about as real as the "10x engineer", that's to say, the PR department made it up. It's just vibes, but it's a symptom of a culture that unduly reveres anything that sounds "mathy".
One thing, except the paying to be default, that keeps the general public on Google is that they just want answers, and Google provides.

I'd guess that the majority of Google "searches" probably isn't even hitting their index all that hard anymore. It's either directly yanked from Wikipedia, IMDB, Stack Overflow or some other Google partner or property. If you're looking to buy something it's even better, Google Adwords is excellent that finding the right products for your query.

Unless the government actually owns them or pays them, this is just a result of widespread consensus at elite level and/or a government that encompasses a very wide spectrum of positions.
I'm assuming this project's aim is to replace sudo, in which case hand-waving away "Leaving out less commonly used features" is a bit worrying. What are these features? How uncommonly are they used? In which way will it fail if a configuration uses those features?

Edit: Looks like their github readme outlines some of these limitations, https://github.com/memorysafety/sudo-rs#differences-from-ori...

The sqllogictests are better used as a judgement of how accurate our results are to MySQL's results given a very large range of statements (around 6 million tests). They are not, however, indicative of the entire feature set. That's to say, there are a few things that are not yet supported in Dolt, however they are the more esoteric features. Things like transactions, etc. are what I would consider "core" SQL, and we are very keen on making sure those work exactly as you'd expect

There are two key points regarding performance that I'd like to mention, and that's that Dolt uses higher-than-expected disk, and we also use more memory than MySQL by comparison. The disk usage is due to our optimization of speed at the sacrifice of disk accretion via temporary storage, which we've decided is a fair trade off considering disk is very cheap (and we're working on making this tunable so users can decide on speed vs disk efficiency). Memory usage is a bit more complex, and I'm not the employee to comment too much about it, but both of these issues are being worked on to reduce their impact. With that in mind, our performance is comparable to MySQL as long as the machine limits are not being reached, however I'd expect us to be a bit slower once those limits are reached, simply due to the extra complexity that we're managing.

Lastly, trust is something that can only be built over time. In 10 years, I'm sure that there will be no doubt of our stability, and at that time I can see Dolt and DoltgreSQL becoming the de-facto databases used for relational storage. Of course, I may be a bit biased :)

Trust is a
Banks business is not people anymore. It's quite easy when you understand the business of small cash operations are not attractive for the industry and also fintech has been the new player since a decade managing mostly every transaction online.
The situation is gonna be weird whenever CBDCs are gonna be imposed and the ban will be executed by the government. Good luck with your complains to the gov.
But what part gets multi threading? Because the video compression is already multithreaded. Video decompression I am not sure. And I think anything else is fairly small in comparison in term of performance cost. All improvements are welcome but I would expect the impact to be fairly immaterial in practice.
Perhaps, but it’s also very odd, and potentially confusing.

I wonder if that perspective is skewed by your current life circumstances.

I've felt the way you described at some points in life, but not the majority of the time.
I find it really difficult to believe it was a "one chance" thing. Universities have late enroll, plus appeals processes in place. It's in their interest to get paid in the end.
I'm not convinced that there are unavoidable inconsistencies, but I suggested it would be difficult for a rational solipsist to define concepts such as the self, justification and reality (all of which are concepts needed in order to take any position on solipsism), and I don't see how saying "it's just how it was designed for me" gets the job done; in fact, this introduces another concept, design, in need of definition. If you could present a more worked-out example of how a rational solipsist would define the concept of reality without, at any point, adopting a non-solipsist stance (such as using the concept of design), I might be more convinced.

Furthermore, a rational solipist does not avoid any of the questions faced by non-solipsists: wherever the latter asks "why is it that... and not something else?", the rational solipsist has the question "why does it seem that... and not something else?" Saying "it was designed that way" is no more of an explanation than "it is that way", and the rational solipsist will realize that this is so.

Perhaps you are thinking of brains-in-vats or simulations in their own simulated universe? If such an entity supposed that it was a brain-in-a-vat or a simulation, however, it would not be a rational solipsist, as these hypotheses presume a reality beyond their experiences (in any such case, of course, the non-solipsist brain-in-a-vat or simulation would be mistaken about what reality lies beyond its experiences, but nevertheless, there would be such a reality.)
There’s plenty of practical solutions to monopolies who abuse their power.

- First up, stop their tax avoidance by supporting governments that engage in strong international tax treaties.

- Support governments who will provide effective deterrents to Google (and Facebook) monetising scams. Day in day out there are scammy advertisers that I, one measley person, am capable of spotting… but they (Google and Facebook), with all their wisdom and money, are incapable of booting from their platforms.

I've never felt tired in a lucid dream, so the thought of going to bed in the dream doesn't make any sense for me... I've always been wide awake in them.

There are some benefits to it if you're able to harness it. I've solved plenty of different programming problems in my dreams, only to get up in the morning and then go through the motions again to make them real. Sometimes it feels like the day is just on cruise control because you've already done this.

This is not the same. The bank did not kick you out as a customer but just locked you out for your "protection". Or more like their "protection" in case it turns out not to be you and you demand the money back.

It's primarily to do with users not being cognisant that Bing is a search engine.

For example, I set my friend's default search engine to Bing, and if she wants to find something, in her mind, she needs to "google it". So she types: "google supermarket opening times" and so on.
The verdict of the presentation was that many options are (bad) duplicates of the filter graph, and you should configure the software through the filter graph.

My comment was in response to the nonsensical logic of parent post, not about the current working logic of the industry. If paying was illegal then Apple has no reason to choose Google, as OP stated. Apple is incentivized to push its own search products.
Ask HN: Besides TikTok, what other innovations have come out of China recently?
For several years now, there have been talks about China catching up or even overtaking Western countries when it comes to innovation. But what concrete signs are there?

I've read multiple times that China is supposedly now a leading publisher of AI research papers. But how come ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion and all these other recent AI innovations didn't come out of China? Even the three giants, Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu seem to be barely able to make a dent in foreign markets (outside of straight acquisitions).

And Temu appears to be burning a lot of cash to do something similar as Wish, which hasn't been doing very well lately.

It would be interesting to hear from people active in all kinds of fields, even outside of software tech.

That's exactly it, SelectMany is what in .NET corresponds to flatMap in e.g. Java. (And, unlike the parent, I don't like the narrow scope of .NET naming very much, focusing on just the list monad (a.k.a. IEnumerable).)
Expressing support for Hamas is (usually) antisemitism and is indeed not encouraged in Germany. The fact that there have been multiple manifestations attended by thousands to tens of thousands in support of Palestine, sometimes going up to supporting Hamas and genocide seems to indicate that it's not blanket illegal, and there is actually a good reason why it should be illegal to support Hamas. After all, they're literally a terrorist group.

For the record, supporting Palestine's right to exist doesn't mean support of Hamas, and many Germans are totally able to express one without the other.
> third Punic war officially ended in 1985

Enough with the revisionism already!

1985 is about 1500 years after the Western Roman empire perished in 476 CE, and about 2100 years after Carthage city was burned to the ground and the citizen was killed in 146 BC, marking the end of the Carthage civilization.

How is that date "official", exactly?

My hunch is that Apple might give users a choice, perhaps during the initial onboarding process. That would be damaging for Google even insofar as I would guess many users probably don’t even realise that there _is_ a choice.

I doubt that Apple would want to give their competitor a free one-up in this space, so a choice for such a critical thing may be reasonable.

Or, you know, a few billion dollars.
> Except it doesn't scale to codebases the size of Facebook and Google.

Actually, it scales well with large codebases, but the monorepo mental model pushed by FB/Google doesn't match the git workflow model. Git repo design is for a concrete entity: a single tool, binary, service, kernel, whatever. When you start bashing in multiple unrelated projects where you try to have various per-project versioning schemas, it becomes a mess.
