> notice filed with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration that it issued the recall after an analysis of the robotaxi’s response October 2 found the “collision detection subsystem may cause the Cruise AV to attempt to pull over out of traffic instead of remaining stationary when a pullover is not the desired post-collision response.”

I’m not sure what your concern is; that seems to plainly state the problem in what is a technical filing about why their product is defective.

Can you explain more what you find so objectionable?
It is not stealing anything because you get a dialog asking you for permission to do it. If you give someone permission to take something, they are not stealing it.

Raku is a general purpose language with built in Grammar capability - some info here https://gist.github.com/raiph/32b3ba969b4eb939a63f48de14d0a1...] and here https://docs.raku.org/language/grammars. I use it for small (and composable) grammar segments and for prototyping. The Raku community over at Discord is quite helpful.
For sure. Just counting threads doesn't give anything like a complete picture of performance.

It's still somewhat interesting because threads are a low-level programming primitive. If you can come up with work for 40k simultaneous threads, you can use the GPU effectively. For some tasks this parallelization is obvious (a HD video frame has 2 million pixels and shading them independently is trivial), and of course often it's anything but.
The mods need to sleep sometimes.
I would say the exact same thing as the author, and I was a regular-E-badger.
The way you write makes it clear you spend at least a bit of time thinking about these things.

And you're apparently reading quite specific info about details of currently happening events, not just headlines.

Your post contains a theory about what's going on behind the scenes and what the acting parties' motives are.

Your theory that fraudsters want their victims to think that the government is to blame instead of the Ponzi scheme so they can continue sounds conclusive.

There's one thing about your post that intrigues me. I did not look at your post history (maybe you wrote about this), you don't seem to make a distinction between "crypto" and "Bitcoin".

Are there countless bad actors and scammers in the "crypto" space? 100 % yes, don't even have to look for evidence, it's just there.

But no matter how many shady exchanges in the crypto space rip off their customers, that doesn't change the structural properties of Bitcoin one bit.

What is your view on "plain" Bitcoin, without the Binances and FTXs? Also fraud?

The first comparison that came to my mind is (yeah, I know Bitcoin critics will say I'm brain washed):

IMO scammers and shady exchanges in the "crypto" space are to Bitcoin what the large food companies (those that sell unhealthy, made from cheap raw materials, addictive "foods") and sectors like the sweets industry are to food.

There's a legit base (food/Bitcoin) and greedy businesses wringing money from building on top of it.
Just because there are countless companies making money by selling doubtworthy sugary stuff (and there will always be, because sugar just works, letting people release neurotransmitters whenever they want), doesn't make food as a whole a scam.
They'll be back.
I'm fairly certain they're on different timezones and a 9h span with a front page link has been noticed by several.
Sca..ehm Star Citizen is such a weird subject. The game seem to be on a completely different timeline than any other game, so its hard to form an objective opinion on it. From one point of view it might look like vaporware on life support, but from another it might actually shape into solid game in a decade. We just have no real data to infer from, because no other game dev story comes close to SC.

I wish that game the best, and I so so wish for it to actually shape into something great, but at the same time I have given up all hope on it, and I still cant imagine investing a single dollar into it (I think they got more than enough money to make a solid game already).
> Honest question: doesn’t the factor of individual freedom to move anywhere you want any time you want have any weight in this matter for you?

Let's get the obvious out of the way first:

Does it matter more than keeping our habitat viable to support the continuous exstence of our species? No. No it does not.

With that out of the way: I don't see why individual freedom to move would be impacted by this. Imagine a world where we invest as much into public transport as we now do into cars. Imagine how spacious, frequent and comfortable the public transport is in that world.

Additionally, focusing on PublicTransport doesn't mean cars need to be abolished completely. Need a car for a day? Where I live I can rent one (and a nice one at that) within minutes on my phone, and get it from a public garage where it is stored.

We will need to have street infrastructure in the future as well anyway: Local delivery, emergency vehicles, construction, etc. That's fine. That can stay. And so can rentable cars for those in-between times when people actually need a car.
Most countries in the world have people who work jobs that last only as long as the person paying for the job wants them to last. This is a contingent worker. They work contingent on the person or company they are working for still having a job for them to do.

Without digging into details: this seems like a a great idea. It's a cooperative, advisory optimization that can't really be gamed for permanent cpu time gain. A hint to scheduler that indicates that letting a process run just a tiny moment more might be good for overall system performance.

Hey

I'm a co-founder of FinWise. My husband and I have been building FinWise since March 2023.
We're both extremely passionate about personal finance, and have a background in software engineering and finance.

We've had the vision for FinWise for many years, and we're now making it a reality. Our goal is to build a personal finance app that will truly help others visualise their money better and make better financial decisions.

To date, we have 350 users, and we're pushing features out on a daily basis. One of our customers recently described us as "dramatically better than Mint and YNAB". We've been listening to our customers, building out improvements daily, and adding feature requests on a continuous basis.

We thoroughly enjoy engaging with our users, and have built our application to be available across the globe. We support bank syncing with Plaid in USA and Canada, but our users can also manually upload transactions in multi-currency, so we also have users in UK, EU and South Africa too.

I highly recommend you give our solution a try.

We're busy building a mobile app, and implementing the ability for households to manage their money together. We're using AI smartly to categorize transactions, and we've got an interactive demo with mock data that you can view before setting up your own account.
Jason and I (co-founders) are very grateful for the support that we've already received, and can guarantee that if there's a feature that you desperately want, we'll build it quickly and very well.

It's just the two of us, but we're full dedicated and dedicated.

I love having user chats, so if you'd like to talk in person, book a call with me here: https://calendly.com/nicol-le0/finwise-demo
Our app offers you a 30 day trial, so give it a go, and if you have feedback, I promise we'll listen.

They also pay lower taxes than everyone else and so on. The best thing about ESA is that it sucks and doesn't actually accomplish much, so hopefully they stop this scam.
A good friend of mine had carpal tunnel surgery in both hands (the doctor checked the other one just in case and went "eh, might as well do that one too") and one thing he was told to watch out for is to not have the wrists lay parallel to the desk for too long - so basically the default keyboard position.

The reason is that in this position the bones in the arms are in a twist and that puts pressure on the tissues - most notably the nerves.

Interestingly holding a gamepad or a phone in both hands is much closer to the ideal position.

Personally I avoided most problems due to the fact that I've been playing the guitar since I was a teenager and this community is particularly interested in wrist and arm health, so I learned to watch out for early signs of strain and how to not overdo it early on.

just hire. you will figure it out.
a lot of people i know often wait for the 'perfect' candidate to show up at the door in a halo of divine light. aint gonna happen.
most of the 'A-players' on my team currently were hired less on technical chops and more on un-measurables like 'sincerity', 'attitude'. these same people, now, with the benefit of decades of working together, would not hire themselves as they were when they joined.

in a nutshell: for a startup as early stage as yours, you need people. you will figure out what you need as you go along.

You can do that in every language, even in Java 1.0, by just using a hash maps of objects, and cast those objects to whatever you like at runtime before accessing them.

But then, you are basically throwing out your static type checks and just using it as a dynamic language, but with much more verbosity, cruft and additional ways to should yourself in the foot.
Thank you for this write up - very insightful.
Cool stuff! Growing up in the 80s, my first programming language was BASIC on a Commodore 64.

This came in handy when I did a commercial apprenticeship in the early 90s, as there was QBasic on the PCs we had and it was a great tool to kill time when there was nothing interesting to do. So I’ll always have some fond memories of QBasic.
Spending last weekend playing and probably same for this one. I have to admit it is in parts quite fun game.

But soon it becomes obvious that while there is even too many things at one time all of them are pretty simple and then you come across the same thing, but in different place... So depth seems somewhat lacking.
I'll note: HAES, at least initially, was about living a healthier lifestyle regardless of weight, especially recognising that without this latest batch of weight loss drugs, sustainable weight loss is incredibly difficult, and that weight loss in general can have some paradoxical effects such as increased appetite and lowered BMR.
But maybe by that time cockroaches will learn to read :D
Should be noted: Basically nothing is a "willpower" problem, in reality. Psychological research is fairly clear on this: People who make good decisions are people who don't even consider the bad decisions, not people who have some higher level of "willpower."
Yes..don't push past your pain limits. I have an old elbow injury from climbing. In the past if I did too much with it like pull ups it would inflame and then be useless again for weeks.

But slowly building up the hang time and then moving to 1 pull-up then to 2 and slowly over months to 5 and then 10 seems to keep it happy.

Be careful and slow but consistent and results should be good.

( See your doctor of physio for advice )
Raku has a built in Grammar capability that integrates well with regex / tokens / rules in an composable OO context. As mentioned you get all the IDE support (IntelliJ based) including a grammar inspector tool.
I dunno man. I can guarantee that this program will either not run or output "Hello world" on your screen:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
std::cout << "Hello world";
return 0;
}

Seems like you can determine for some programs what they will do.

> It sounds like you’re more interested in trains than solutions to global warming.

No, it really doesn't sound like that.

Trains, and other public transport vehicles, in comparison to the damage that individual traffic does, ARE a contributing solution to global warming.

> Scaling up packing as many people as possible into cities is not a desirable goal to significant chunks of people.

Oh really? Then how did cities come to be in the first place?

But you know what really makes cities a hell to live in? Covering them with multi-lane roads and giant parking lots for those flotillas of pointless metal boxes with rubber wheels.
CMUCL was developed as "open source" (Publich Domain). It was a reworked Spice Lisp. Several other implementations used code from there. Additionally there was an open source LOOP, an open source CLOS implementation, etc.

Lack of proper types is what killed the joy of programming in Elixir for me (I lasted 6 months, hoping I would somehow adapt, but the experience was so miserable that I decided to move on). I simply can't understand how anyone can be productive in a big codebase without the rigor of static typing, but those people exist, so I guess there must be something about our brains that divides us in the dynamic vs static typing camps.
> Why should children who are lucky to be born into a stable middle class family have a large financial advantage over other children

The reason why we have inheritances is people in power convinced each other that regular people will work harder throughout all their lives if they know they can give their children a better life. Meaning the economy is way better with some inheritance present than without inheritance.

Love is a powerful thing and while most people would agree with you that in theory they'd like all children to have the same opportunities, once their babies are born they will fight forever to give them the best conditions they can.

I agree with inheritance taxes, probably not 100%, but wanted to explain the perspective of people that want full untaxed inheritances.
Yeah, this was a very strange statement to read.

In fact, it's even more wrong than that. The ability for managed runtimes to perform LTO across dynamic code loading means you're even able to get LTO across code your compiler has never witnessed - e.g. plugins written by 3rd parties.

I was thinking the same and almost made a more poorly worded response, but then thought better of doing so after re-reading the paragraph. The sentence is written by Cruise, is in a passive tense (which tends to be used when people are seeking to deflect blame), and "may cause" is weasel-wording when the event showed that it "did cause", as is "not the desired" which is substituting for something along the lines of "a harmful"

> they spend 30 million over what they generate

That is my point. I do not understand how they total costs can be over 30M. It is mostly static content that begs for CDN cache. It is also not mission critical.
> It's probably a good thing if computers did a better job of getting out of the way, and stop so loudly disrupting human interactions.

And that is not this. Talking out loud every few moments with verbal commands do a device is way more annoying that someone looking at and typing on a phone

That said, I agree with you at a glance it's neat. I think in reality though it's a poor idea given how often people need to give a verbal command.
That would be a welcoming change! With html5 standard, pages can have text, image, video, even css animation, all without JS.

If the page need to load some SPA app, draw the canvas (accessing GPU), or WebUSB, etc, then ask for permission would be a good idea. Just like how accessing ones' camera and mic requires permission. It will force web developers to do less stuff in JS for just display. And if an app type of application is needed, then ask for permission.

> It is not stealing anything because you get a dialog asking you for permission to do it

That dialog talks about sync but notably does not mention credentials at all.

Surely this is instance where informed consent is needed, with full disclosure of what's going to happen.

Something along the lines of: "this means your IMAP username and password will be passed to Microsoft where we will store it indefinitely so we can regularly log into your IMAP server to sync your messages".

Of course, users are less likely to consent if you explain exactly what's going to happen...

I switched jobs and working as an elixir dev now. I love elixir don't get me wrong, but some of the documentation especially some of the more advanced features in ecto are very confusing.

It doesn't help you can define your ecto instructions in multiple flavors too (inline vs piping)

You can't mix inline with pipe operators without creating an additiona variable too hold the original query.

If we want to make it less niche, there's definitely good working points there. Once people understand how to hit a database from elixir it magically clicks and the other stuff is more trivial.

Not transcendental, no. But consciousness isn't just the physical and chemical reactions in your brain. It's more than the sum of its parts.

The mind is a level of abstraction up from the brain. The mind is what the brain does, not necessarily what it is. Consciousness of course relies on discrete physical reactions in the brain, but in the way that software relies on the discrete transistors in a CPU. Consciousness is the emergent behavior of the system. It exists more on an informational level than physical, even if it is a physical process.

I agree that 8GB is too small. My theory is that the Apple M processor guys have entered a dark pact with the marketing guys that runs like this:
- we are going to need a speed bump after the initial switch to the M series to keep the momentum
- we can get 8GB on the same SOC as the CPU much cheaper than 16GB (this was different with the Intel non SOC multi package architecture)

And so RAM for a mac is now analogous to camera lenses on an iPhone … it going to be the main driver of upgrades when the step change to M / SOC saturates

It also explains why the late Intel modules were limited to 8GB
> This is due to the fact that the intelligence & character of the masses are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the few who produce some thing valuable for the community.

If he wrote this again today, I wonder what he would think about the relative "character" of those who produce things of value to the community. It's a mixed bag, from my point of view -- much like the rest of society.
I agree. The best voice input will not replace screens. I think the next frontier has to be some sort of neural/retinal display that sends info directly to your brain.
