> Or maybe it's people who don't really believe in society and government at large, or people who believe in vigilante justice over rule of law. Perhaps people with fixations on self-armament but who never actually use it to fight tyranny when it comes calling. Or people who fixate on wedge issues like restricting access to lifesaving natal operations, or whether the federal or state governments should interfere in who can play in what sports league instead of deferring to the people in charge of the league.

Kind of seems like a lot of words to say “fascists are dumb”, which is true but also a really funny thing to arrive at from the starting point of “there is a group of people who need to be smarter”
No, there are performance optimisations when not adhering to "return a database" model
As someone who has only used ffmpeg for very trivial scenarios this was really interesting to listen to. It's nice knowing it's getting a proper refactor (not that I knew much of its internals until now)

That's probably a feature and not a bug to them, since it damages the value or desirability of used vehicles.

> Even my brother and I share only ~50% DNA.

This is completely false. Any two random humans have more than 99% overlap by virtue of being the same species. It's even higher for brothers. We also share around 90% DNA with cats, dogs and elephants.

> I'm not too worried about it because it's never a 100% overlap.

This doesn't make sense. If they were equal, you'd be the same person except for environmental differences. Many applications don't need equal DNAs. E.g.

> About insurance companies, they're legally forbidden to use such data.

This is a very weak argument. There's a long history of companies doing illegal things, and even if it's illegal today it doesn't mean it'll be illegal tomorrow.
They didn't call it as it is, that's just the obvious conclusion the author of the article makes based on another source, they make up unverified safety allegations

No. There ISS needs to be exactly in the shadow of the asteroid Leona. Both the Earth and Leona are going around the Sun, so the shadow sweeps across the surface of the Earth, taking about 18 minutes to go from Mexico to China, and effectively never coming back.

Even if the ISS is in the shadow once - which would require amazing timing and last for fraction of a second - it is not fast enough to have a second interception.
Sometimes I sit and think about how one of the highest paying companies in the world sells unproductivity as a service. There's free options for entertainment like YouTube too.

It’s not reasonably possible (currently?) to get the same performance from a 7 billion parameter model as a 175 billion parameter model with just an additional 6000 lines of finetuning data.
Those things are on different axes, are they not? Joe Biden is a democratically elected president, and... well, he's showing his age.
If you attack me and I shoot you, you're to blame for your death, not me.

If a country attacks me and I counterattack to make sure you can't attack me anymore, you remain at blame.

There are details, like deliberate civilian attacks vs collateral, but at the end of the day, the duty of a country is to protect it's own citizens, and not the citizens of the aggressor.
I'm coming at this from way, way, waaayyy outside the lanes of a software tech writer, but in hardware CCS (component content system) architectures like S1000D, it's not just the XML elements and attributes that are fixed. It also has a system of module addressing, where each module is represented by a code called a DMC (data module code), and that DMC - by itself - has enough data encoded inside it that it serves as a pretty good placeholder by itself.

One example would be like so:

DMC-SUPERPLANE-DEMO-E28-32-01-03A-280A-A

So I know this is a data module, for the SUPERPLANE product, the variant is DEMO, the E tells me this is for AVEE (air vehicle engine and equipment), 28 is fuel, 3X is dump, so 01 must be something in the fuel dump system. 03A says it's three levels down in an assembly, and 280 is an Inspect procedure.

So yeah - pretty good placeholder. Except.

There's a whole other discussion about how using it like this is the precisely wrong way to employ S1000D DMCs.

As BMoD (later ASD, later AECMA) envisioned it back in the late 1980s (yes!), the DMC would be created by a godlike Systems Engineering group working hand in hand with a Logistics group, and as they flowed down, the writers would dutifully fill in the blanks in this magical structure. In the real world of today, everyone ignores SEs, no customer pays for Logistics past initial issue, so DMCs get hacked through by Level II writers[1] with absolutely no training whatsoever, creating a gigantic trainwreck of tens of thousands of DMCs.

The trainwreck is caused, in no small part, by the spec's assumption that the task analysis is already finalized. THAT is why the DMC SNS "top level domain" after Product and SDC is Function, not zonal, not assembly, not task. But that's another very long story. Oh, look, another trainwreck.

We're not even going to touch the fact that you can dream up your own DMC schemes. In the words of one memorable officer: "For a specification, it doesn't do a very good job of specifying things"

I like the presentation, it's understandable and well-structured.

From what I can see, Apple's guidelines look really similar to what Google suggests for Android apps - the only really big difference is visual presentation.
No its a car company which writes its own software. Their primary business in not software its cars. Although i agree they are not very good at it, the build quality is obviously dubious. Perhaps the Know how of old car companies + Tesla's battery and Motor tech + Software could result in an overall better product. A merger would be a net positive IMO.
"Jerk" makes perfect sense to me too. What I never got was how "pop" could come after "crackle".
I bought a BMW i4, not a Tesla 3, so this is just my comparison. But Tesla software works really well, they have navigation to chargers, something that doesn’t really work in the BMW, you are pretty much on your own. They have sentinal mode, and it actually doesn’t suck like BMW’s drive recorder does. You can open your car with your phone, like for real via UWB, not just some NFC thing that works only in one place, or over the slow cellular unlock. I guess I didn’t explore the Spotify/music streaming experience.

I still chose the BMW because the better interior and build quality, but it was definitely a sacrifice.
this looks nice, but I feel like mixing the python into the source is actually the reason I like cog so much. It feels weird at first, but having it all inline and checking it in together is simpler to work with IMO
Google Maps for CarPlay has never shown me any ads nor bothered me to report any accidents. The phone app does, but never when I'm driving.

For what it's worth, if Google Maps isn't what you like, you can use any other maps app with real-time directions; Apple Maps (obviously) works fantastically well on iPhones (and in suitably large cities), and you can also pick others like Waze, OSM, TomTom, etc.

We previously had a car that required the in-car nav to be updated at the dealer annually, as part of their service package. It felt like a quaint thing to have to do. I guess the alternative is that the car has some connectivity so it can download updates by itself?
Not unlike e.g. blender. If you depend on Python so closely you probably need to embed it in your application.
Automobile companies tried for years to make a decent infotainment system in cars, and almost universally they were all terrible no matter how expensive the vehicle. Finally Android Auto and CarPlay gave everyone what they wanted - decent access to music on their phone, call capabilities that actually work, and program integration with things they actually use with internet service they already have.

Then manufacturers realized they were losing control to Google and Apple, and want it back. So now I guess we're back to random garbage half-baked solutions that no one likes, just so they can sell subscriptions for seat heaters and music players. Back to the walled gardens everyone, move along.

I'll never buy a new vehicle again, particularly GM now, and simply stick to something older I can either put any standard double-din deck into, or a vehicle with 3rd party mods that then add Android Auto like my Infiniti that shipped with the worst infotainment system ever.
I'm unsure why the downvotes on my previous comment, but de minimis is already baked into section 230. If you look at the judicial history of section 230 courts use to routinely rule in favor of it until the roomates.com case.
Sure, I plan to drive my current car until the wheels fall off, but that's not the point.

I'm young enough that I will very likely need to buy a new-to-me car eventually, and there's a good chance that by then a lot of the used cars out there will be the enshitted versions. I'm not looking forward to it.
The last one I saw was using X-rays to sort aluminum. Apparently there’s a lead alloy out there. You don’t want to make window frames out of those. But making more of that alloy is fine.

The 6809 (and 6800) helped me pay for my computer habit back in the late 70s/early 80s. I wrote a program for those CPUs, "Dynamite Disassembler", which I originally wrote to reverse engineer a bunch of code in the Flex and OS-9 OSes. Cleaned it up and managed to sell enough copies, at something like $150 a pop, that I could afford to buy more computer gear while I was a mostly-broke college student.
I saw a fun tweet recently claiming the main reason we don’t have an AI revolution today is inertia. Corporate structures exist primarily to protect existing jobs. Everyone wants someone to make everything better, but Don’t Change Anything! Because change might hit me in my deeply invested sunk costs.

The claim might be a year or two premature. But, not five.
View-based streaming royalties (“residuals”) were also something won in the strikes. They previously didn’t exist for streaming in the same way they did for cable tv or theatrical releases— no matter how successful the show. That’s part of the reason streamers didn’t want to release numbers in the first place.

There were still a lot of other factors then and now when it came to payment—mainly due to the fact the minimums are floors, not maximums—so it isn’t exactly a “flat fee”, but there is a “minimum floor” payment schedule based on a formula of # episodes, genre, # weeks, studio budget, season #, etc. Now it includes # views, when previously it didn’t.
then you have not gone high enough in abstraction/interoperability within some code food-chain .

i had python code that generated another python code which then generated C (and C++) for wrapping CORBA.. 20 years ago.

Like 1000 LOC generated 5k that generated about 100K C.. No way to make that by hand - and keep it consistent.. Unless, one has to employ large number of people for the sake of it..

The uncynical take is they just didn't realize this was an issue and changed it immediately when they found out it was.
I asked Claude to help me research the fictional world of an established IP, and it refused, saying it was a fact-based tool and wasn't made to work with fictional content.

An established IP's world is fact from my point of view. I got very little traction there compared to ChatGPT which had a no friction response that I could use to build upon.
>so too are military strategies that do not prioritize minimizing harm to civilians. Both scenarios reflect a moral failing in respecting the sanctity of human life.

Strong disagree there. There's always a tradeoff, and where that boundary lies is never going to be fixed. There will always be "acceptable losses" in warfare, to do otherwise is to essentially surrender.

Moreover, Israel has taken actions to reduce civilian losses in the form of evacuations, roof knocks and the like. Conversely Hamas is well known to use civilian areas for military purposes. And this doesn't even consider hostage treatment.

If we talk about minimizing harm, then Hamas is doing the opposite, and thus is a greater moral failure

Blendle in the Netherlands tried it for 5 years (2014-2019), but stopped because they couldn't make it profitable. I don't think it was the news outlets complaining, but just not enough articles sold to make the margin they needed, so internationally this still might scale (lots more work contracting publishers, of course).

Afaik Blendle is now a subscription service with a flat fee all you can read model.

Why can't we just mandate people to send a copy of every publication to an UN Media Preservation Library and use something like redundant LTO tapes + Piql film to make sure stuff is never lost?

Yes it's expensive but if we divide those expense across 8 billion people out becomes affordable.
The recent overhaul of Narwhal for version 2 reworked the entire app to operate pretty close to what Apollo was at its core. It's extremely customizable as well. Their new subscription plan for covering the API costs is pretty fair and would be cheaper than what you are doing here.
I feel like I experienced this up close in IT. When I was a kid in the 90's, I was the "computer guy" on the street and people would ask me whenever anything was wrong with their computer. If any piece of software or hardware wasn't working, there was a good chance I could help and I loved it.

Second this, I am extremely happy with CarPlay on my Mazda. There are lots of physical controls that just work naturally with CarPlay. No need to use touch controls!
I read through some but not all of the rationale. This seems crazy. I used to live in a relatively rural area (think 10mi from the nearest town of 500 and another 30 miles away from the nearest "city"). All of the other options aside from Starlink are basically a joke.
My impression of Tesla (from driving a friend's, who is a massive Tesla fan) is that I get the feeling that the systems aren't as clever as they think they are, and it led to some "interesting" (actually downright scary and dangerous) experiences with the driver assist functions on a long distance drive we did. It wasn't the full Autopilot, just the lane following/adaptive cruise control kind of thing but we almost did go off the road at least once.

But in general with the UI, there was a lot of, "Hey, how do I do [elementary car function]" and he'd be like "Oh I think they changed that [or moved it in the menu] in the last update, uh let me have a look"...

Elon Musk's antics had already basically made me decide my next car wouldn't be a Tesla, but driving one a bit didn't really sell me on it anyway...

Your comment was fine. It added to the discussion, and even if the analogy wasn’t accurate, it made your point effectively to a lay audience. So I think that is a net positive.

This assumes that buying the normal book gives you protection from prosecution. I am not sure whether you really can assume this.

Meanwhile in my jurisdiction, as long as I don't share with the public, I am free to download unencumbered ebooks and other media when I find them. No need to buy something for hope of non-prosecution.
2-8 do sound great. They are the reasons I was looking at a Tesla. Hadn't even heard of some of those. The car I'm looking to replace is a 2009 toyota corolla commuter car that is really starting to have maintenance issues. The right speakers even stopped working a few years ago. The speaker on my phone is better so I just put the sound all the way up and use that. The audio sucks, but it's easy. I sit down, press play, and I'm listening to what I want.

My wife's CRV is a 2018 which I only drive when we are driving long distances. Still, I just plug my phone in and all my data is there on android auto. I have starred places on google maps going back almost 15 years. I click a place on recents and it maps me there. I press shuffle on youtube music and it has all my history there to play through. Youtube music also has the download option so I can play music in non-signal areas. That was another thing I couldn't seem to find an answer for with a Tesla. Does spotify work without a signal? If so, how much storage does the tesla offer to spotify? I have multi-gigs of downloaded music on my phone. We hit 30+ minute terrible signal areas on our holiday travels to family.

The options seemed to be switch my apps to spotify/tesla navigation for "car riding" and have to double-entry everything from my home-listening or completely switchover. Which could maybe work for spotify (does that have the same option to upload your own music that google music had?), but definitely wouldn't work for tesla navigation. Then there's the privacy concerns that I'm now sharing more data with two places rather than one. Then the added monthly fee of using Tesla's data plan vs. android auto being free. All that made me think that getting a tesla would only increase my annoyances and costs rather than providing me a benefit. The advantages you listed are really, really nice, but hard to justify with the rest of it.
That's only true now. You don't know that DNA leakage won't be a higher risk in the future (and FWIW, my opinion is the opposite of yours regarding the future risks). Moreover you can change your passwords, but you can't change your DNA.

I have an i3, pre-carplay, and I like that the computer works well with just a jog wheel.

It has a navigate to charger feature that works reasonably well (though there are too many steps to “only show fast chargers”, and many stations are broken, though hopefully the tesla supercharger deal will fix that…)

Range estimates seem to be accurate, unlike Tesla’s high-balling.

Anyway, I’m hoping they can do at least that well moving forward.

They are probably using VT320s from some remote/hidden locations. I don't expect a state of the art gigabit satellite connection on a remote island.

True.

However as far as I can tell the settlements in the West Bank have grown through every government since the occupation - something which fundamentally undermines any moves towards a resolution.

Any attempt at peace has poor prospects if a significant part of civil society and army is dead set on colonisation.

Any yes, I'm aware of the complexities of Israeli politics and society.
