- Improved FEM makes modern crumple zones deeper and smoother
- Heavy use of composites dramatically improve the raw amount of energy absorbed by the car instead of the passengers
- Better manufacturing methods mean parts can be shaped/placed to be less likely to enter the cabin
- Better placement of more airbags means you're more likely to hit something soft
- Better seats and better placements of better seat belts means you're less likely to snap something due to whiplash
- Better brakes and steering geometry reduces your chance of losing control
- Better brakes and steering geometry improves your ability to avoid other vehicles
- Electronic stability control _massively_ reduces chances of rollovers
- Electronic stability control _massively_ improves your ability to dodge other cars in emergency maneuvers
- Electronic stability control _massively_ improves your ability to handle bumps and potholes and waves and black ice and other disruptions
- Electronic stability control _massively_ improves the car's ability to go where you point the wheels regardless of speed or condition

Seriously, especially if you're driving a truck or SUV, you _need_ electronic stability control.

Not "the most important since seat belts", not "the most important since air bags", not "the most important current advance". Electronic stability control is THE most important safety feature in modern automotive vehicles, the single biggest factor in whether you will die because you got in a car _period_, more than air bags, more than seat belts, more than crumple zones, more than _headlights_ or _tire compounds_ or _safety glass_. Preventing an accident entirely is better than any mitigation and ESC is incredibly good at preventing a huge class of accidents.

And those numbers are from 2005-ish. Modern active rollover prevention and traction control systems and anti-understeer/oversteer controls are _even better_.
Intel also has this problem where the older gen e-cores aren't used by games apparently

> For the US; I think Plug-in Hybrids are a fantastic option that should be encouraged.

They are for the consumer. The Volt is a fantastic car.

Hybrids are a disaster for manufacturers. GM killed the Volt.

The manufacturing cost difference between the Volt and the Bolt was simply far too large.

The manufacturers are way better off putting the price difference into a larger battery and dumping the combustion side.
This makes me appreciate my Kia EV6.

One side of the steering wheel has buttons for driving functions: cruise control, following distance, lane assist, etc. The other side has audio controls for radio channel selection and volume, voice input, start/end phone call, and a customizable button that I set to record a voice memo.

Behind the wheel are a pair of regenerative braking paddles that work much like the paddle shifters on some gas cars: left paddle increases regen, right paddle decreases it. That left button comes in handy on the rare occasion when I may want to slow down in a hurry without lighting up the brake lights. (I will leave it to the reader to speculate on why I may want to do that) The drive mode button (eco/standard/sport/winter) is below the horn button.

Two stalks for headlight/turn signal/etc. and wiper/washer control.

Dual screens: one in front of the driver with driving info: speed and speed limit, how much battery you're using or regening, etc. A touchscreen in the center for infotainment stuff.

Below the center screen is a dual mode touch panel for climate controls or radio/map/nav controls. I just leave this in climate mode. Physical knobs at each end of this panel that change roles for the two modes. The left side of this panel has front/rear defrost, recirculation, and auto climate which remain there in both modes.

The center console has physical buttons to turn the EV on or off, a physical R/N/D knob, and physical buttons for parking camera/auto parking and a couple of related features.

At the front of the center console are dedicated buttons for driver/passenger seat heating/ventilation and steering wheel heat. Oddly, these are touch buttons in my GT-Line but physical buttons (better!) in the lower-end Wind trim. In Australia the GT-Line keeps the physical buttons here.

Behind the steering wheel next to the door are physical buttons for panel illumination level, charge door and rear hatch opening, and a couple of other things.

The driver door has traditional buttons for mirror adjustment, lock/unlock, windows, and child lock.

After driving gas cars all my life, the first time I got in an EV6 it felt very comfortable, like a real car and not a science experiment.
It is a rather novel strategy for attracting business.
No, it can easily happen.

- They don’t do compression by “definition”. They are designed to predict, prediction is key to information theory, so they just have similar qualities.

- Everyone wants their model to learn, not copy data, but overfitting happens sometimes and overfitting can look the same as copying.
It's gonna be success, but I bet maybe 2nd to 3rd iteration is when they will dominate.
Lightweight containers for LH2 have proven so trivial as to have already been in use for many decades aboard space launch systems, which are even more sensitive to weight than aircraft. Aircraft LH2 tanks would want insulation usually omitted from rockets, but insulation is mature tech.

Weight of LH2 is so enormously less than kerosene that, once LH2 aircraft enter a market, no kerosene airframe could continue competing. Given the low volumetric density, such that LH2 tanks would not fit in the wings, they will probably instead be removable nacelles slung under wings alongside the engines. This has the further advantages of eliminating need for mobile hoses and for complicated onboard plumbing. I doubt anybody would want to fly with inboard hydrogen tankage, anyway.

Probably cargo craft will be first to use LH2, because carriers cannot load on another 40% more passengers just because the fuel weighs so much less.
Environmental variables have always been available to the environment. Thats the point. Saying dont use them to transmit info is like the hysteria of "dont use the clipboard because any app can access it." Well yeah, the point of the clipboard is ipc.

But to your point docker secrets are a thing and have been available for a while. And a publicly exposed phpinfo has been a severe dataleak since before time began.

Neither of these are unknown or new. They're just an unfortunate composite enabled by containers.
It’s hard to divorce the man from his companies. Recent revelations about labor abuse/accidents at his factories. Forcing his companies to respond to media queries with poop emojis. The shitshow that is self-driving (and the marketing thereof). The scammy auto insurance offered by Tesla. The list goes on.
I know! But people might be more interested / attentive when a brand is included compared to just $randommoleculecombotheyneverheardabout...
My favorite example was neurons in your eye that see something and send signals out laterally so when they (after a specific time-delay) meet another neuron that is currently seeing the thing, they combine to trigger a signal that can be directly interpreted as movement in a specific direction at a specific arc-speed.

Just one of the ways visual information is heavily processed before traveling along your optic nerve.
Huge A-pillars are a threat because of the blind spot they create, specifically while turning right.

All roof pillars have increased in size in order for the occupants to survive rollover crashes, but the side effect is blind spots. Further compounded by interior trim containing airbags and audio gear.
I resonate with your statement!
I can’t wait to see one driving on the streets!!!

In my previous job writing a naval combat system (not Aegis) I figured that I couldn't prevent warships from existing, but I could make the combat system better, safer, easier and less error-prone to use which would ultimately reduce the likelihood of people being killed inadvertently. But I totally respect people who choose not to work in defence.
What the hell happened to Mercedes? 29th out of 30 on the list. Truly awful. I've never driven one (let alone owned one) but by the marketing (and price) you'd think it was the greatest vehicle on earth.
Haha, that's a funny meme. But the main picture sort of is different, no? In Tokyo, you'd wander through the streets and see all sorts of interesting things in that melange of billboards: model train stores, little book stores, an indoor hydroponics farm, a teppanyaki place. I've got nothing against truck stop off-ramps looking like they do (they provide great utility on road trips) but it's qualitatively different and I can see someone liking the former and not the latter.
I sorta see your point - it's kinda the equivalent of self-executable SQLite database pre-filled with data, or a Word document that contains the editor. There's lots of good reasons the data and apps are delivered separately.

That said, it does reduce the friction of getting an LLM up and running and the self-contained nature makes it sort of a dedicated program equivalent to Awk. It might open up possibilities, like the AI version of the Unix philosophy - do one thing well. A hyper optimized LLM could be used in pipeline of commands, for example.
Teenagers are like yesterday's fast-food wrapper. Used for a short time, then discarded like so much rubbish without any second-thought or responsibility.

The governments, all of them, don't give a shit whether those ex-teenagers have to live a life that is emotionally-scarred and physically handicapped. (Assuming they manage to get through the military experience alive, that is.)

I have met guys that went through a year or two of war then went though decades and decades of ruined life, as alcoholics and post-traumatic sufferers and divorcees. All jokes aside, maybe it would have been better for them to have died while 'on the job'.

So, Yes. It is immoral to groom teenagers into signing up for the Army, Navy, or Air Force.

Buying petrol doesn’t apply if someone is already looking for an electric vehicle. There’s plenty of cereal brands to choose from. Same as electric vehicles/trucks. Everyone has opinions to what they choose to spend money on…and people generally do that when given more than one choice.
The N53 is notably one of bmw's less reliable engines. Everything that goes wrong with it is tedious to debug and ends up hugely expensive to fix because you always end up needing to replace several pricey injectors. Then it breaks again later.

The N52 seems rather better, as all its common faults are relatively cheap to fix.
I’d urge you to not so flatly dismiss someone’s opinion as wrong. The situation is obviously (I would think) more nuanced than that.

I’d also argue that if a senior developer does not have control over their VCS, they should rethink their title.

These are tools in a toolbox - you don’t need to be an expert in all of them, but seniority requires, at a minimum, proficiency.
Money is to be spent to buy happiness and fun.

Can you name the specifics of Elon's dumb antics? I can think of a couple of dumb Tweets, but on the whole, I think he is more right than wrong on his takes, he just has less of a filter than most people.
https://github.com/wader/fq has a REPL and can read JSON. Tip is to use "paste | from_json | repl" in a REPl to paste JSON into a sub-REPL, you can also use `<text here>` with fq which is a raw string literal
Not buying from Tesla because you hate Elon is just as silly as buying from Tesla because you love Elon.
How much to purchase the reservation from you? Early model numbers will go for a premium and I'm going to flip as many as I can. I guarantee no additional money will go to Elon Musk. I'll keep it myself.
>I wonder. Isn't that because poor people can't buy even new cheap cars these days?

Kinda yes. Poor/average people now in France/EU will just keep using their 10 year old cars, for the next 10 years as well.

France has cheap electricity so the class of people who can afford brand new cars will definetly go for electric to save money. I bet most new car sales now are company cars anyway rather than individuals.
>Obviously selling ads is a mechanism to pay the bills and defray the massive building cost.

what came first, the chicken or the egg?

>It’s not like the rest of Vegas is some sort of moral high ground, so ads on its exterior kind of fits right in.

that's certainly true, but driving next to the thing is a bit makes you realize that even for Vegas it's a tad bit excessive. Right time of night with the right animation leaves you essentially light-blinded for a few moments.
Ironic that one of the arguments that the Unix Haters gripe about is "X is just a protocol". Sound familiar?
I wonder what would happen if you didn't spot the sign and simply told them you don't have a card. Like will they accept the cash? Let you eat for free? Call the cops?
In a world where loss of forward travel means an uncontrolled dive, having energy on tap is life. Unfortunately, scenarios like a slow base to final or a go around in a crosswind don't afford the ability to just trade altitude for airspeed. High density altitude + downdrafts or mountain rotors are another situation where I don't want to be underpowered.

The only thing that will be transformative for aviation will be a dramatic improvement in energy density or engine efficiency, be that battery electric or otherwise.
you're more likely to die from falling than a pedestrian incident. Even more people commit suicide. Wow this is a dark subject.

That's why I don't accept the response "but there's Discord now" whenever I moan about USENET's demise. Back in the days before it, every post was nicely searchable by DejaNews (later Google).

We need to get back to open standards for important communications (e.g. all open source projects that are important to the Internet/WWW stack and core programming and libraries).
Never played with shaders before, made a spinning watermelon.

uniform float time;
varying vec2 vUv;

void main() {
vec2 st = vUv.xy;
float f1 = length(abs(2.0*st)/2.0 - .1*time);
float stripe = fract(f1*10.0);
float stripe2 = stripe*stripe*stripe;
float stripe3 = fract(-f1*10.0);
float stripe4 = stripe3*stripe3*stripe3;

float f2 = length(abs(4.0*st)/2.0 - .2*time);
float stripe5 = fract(f2*10.0);
float stripe6 = stripe5*stripe5*stripe5;
float stripe7 = fract(-f2*10.0);
float stripe8 = stripe7*stripe7*stripe7;

gl_FragColor = vec4(vec3(0.02, 0.3, 0.01)+vec3(0.3, 0.02, 0.0)*(stripe2 + stripe4 + 0.5*stripe6 + 0.6*stripe8), 1.0);
}

I'm really not sure how it works? Like I gather that I'm doing something with rgb tuples and frac() appears to be a remainder operation and that's why I square it and add it to itself to create some smooth bands, but what exactly is going on with how shaders work or what uVu is or what gl_FragColor assigns to is rather opaque to me?
have you ever noticed how odd it is that the anti-Musk rhetoric is functionally identical to the anti-Trump rhetoric of 2016–2020, and also how no new Reichs were started 2016–2020, such that one can conclude that perhaps takes like this are possibly a hair hyperbolic in nature, and should maybe be reevaluted a bit before terms such as "neo-Nazi" completely lose any remaining weight they might have?
Any chance systems based on it will be sold outside China?

Its not the first service of this type; Lots of firm offer AI (LLM-specifically)-based services assisting lawyers with contract review and other similar tasks, and Donotpay.com offered similar services to the public, billing its offering as a "Robot Lawyer", before narrowing its offerings under a storm of dubious media attention, government investigations (some involving potential criminal charges), and the beginnings of private litigation relating to unauthorized practice of law.

I don't see why this would go any differently.
Yes, don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.
15.6 is a Darwin kernel version from 2018. It's the number `uname -a` reports. We should probably just switch to using XNU version numbers, which are in the 10000s now, so there's no confusion. I'm reasonably certain it works that far back, but I currently lack the ability to spin up old MacOS VMs for testing. Caveat emptor anyone not running MacOS on a recent version.
Here's a video about an intersection that had to be redesigned due to A-pillars. Vehicles approaching from opposite ends could hide in each other's blind spots and crash.

Didn't Zig "just" decide to permanently stay irrelevant for performance critical code by replacing LLVM by a yet to be written home grown optimiser and code generator? Don't get me wrong LLVM has lots of warts, but the a good multi architecture optimiser and code generator is a larger project than the frontend and standard library for any reasonable language.
It's kind of the same to me. There's videos on YouTube of Japanese tourist or exchange students in America, gawking and having fun over the most mundane American things.
great! worked easily on desktop Linux, first try. It appears to execute with zero network connection. I added a 1200x900 photo from a journalism project and asked "please describe this photo" .. in 4GB of RAM, it took between two and three minutes to execute with CPU-only support. The response was of mixed value. On the one hand, it described "several people appear in the distance" but no, it was brush and trees in the distance, no other people. There was a single figure of a woman walking with a phone in the foreground, which was correctly described by this model. The model did detect 'an atmosphere suggesting a natural disaster' and that is accurate.

thx to Mozilla and Justin Tunney for this very easy, local experiment today!

So, asking for proof of a so far unsubstantiated statement, is a "political belief" now?

What did I miss?
First, yes, but it’s not like people weren’t killed by horses or trolleys either. The death toll was never zero but it went up sharply when everyone was expected to drive much heavier vehicles at higher speeds.
I am sorry, what problems are you facing? I tested it with Safari on both my phone and laptop just now and couldn't find an issue, so I would really appreciate it if you can reply here or (more appreciated) email me with images etc. on the email listed on my profile.

I much appreciate your heads up, and thank you for taking your time on this.
If my reading is correct, this literally just distribute an LLM model and code, and you need to do some tasks - like building - to make it actually run, right?

And for this, you need to have additional tools installed?
Well I get that lead acid batteries experience self discharge, my 2003 era car will go for over a month with around 20% discharge (it'll be around 12.4V), but after 2 or 3 weeks, my 2020 Honda will be at 50% discharge (around 12.0V).

I'd like to think that at some point the parasitic drain devices will shut down before they drain the battery completely, but I've never tested it beyond that point, I always plug in the charger if the car's going to be parked for more than a couple weeks. I installed a charger plug that comes out the front grill so I can plug it into the battery maintainer without even opening the hood.

In my lay opinion, this font needs a 500 Medium weight.

Also needs more spacing between the glyphs as the weight increases.
It seems to be the life cycle of digital communities. There's a certain threshold of critical-mass popularity where quality of content almost seems to become inversely proportional to quantity of people in the community. That threshold is a moving target, but it certainly seems to manifest around the same time as people start throwing around the letters IPO; or at least, when the community is big enough for some MBA to come in and try and squeeze them for profit.

I admit I'm unclear on the exact nature of HN and YC, but with YC being a VC, and my assumption that HN is a property of YC, I think two big things HN has going for it is that it's probably not going to IPO as a result of that situation and dang does a fantastic job moderating (there's something to be said for a well moderated community, most don't appreciate that).

Never know when company will decide it's time for a pivot and shake things up though.

I assume they are referring to batteries having lower energy/power density, as opposed to the efficiency of the drivetrain
there were plenty of 'crazy idea' cars prototypes.

The reality is the current designs (tear shaped, front engine, forward facing seats with belts) are result of slow incremental perfections. Safety, fuel efficiency being two biggest drivers (pun intended!). The biggest external factor being the infrastructure (you might have the greatest idea for next personal transportation vehicle) but if it doesnt use roads its pretty much dead .

So people complaining have no idea what they really want. Like Ford said “If I would have asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses”.
To avoid stuff like this I've tried to prompt for only the necessary changes. I haven't found a good prompt that does this repeatably. It might be worth some experimentation.
This is a perfect analogy because the users are the dane and the geld is honkler memes
Yeah, but even if you'd take this on as your responsibility (while it should really be the CPU vendor fixing it), you would like to resolve it much lower in the stack, like the Rust compiler/standard library or LLVM, and not individually in any Rust library that happens to stumble upon that problem.
Any help ?

My implementation is about 120 lines, plus about 100 lines of tests. It's not hard, but not trivial either. Doing that for every single project is rather tedious. Especially for prototyping I just quickly want something that 'just works' without fuss.
There's a line specifically for vehicle occupants.
