> One of the state laws that Tesla complains about is Cal. Veh. Code § 24011.5, which says that companies "shall not name any partial driving automation feature, or describe any partial driving automation feature in marketing materials, using language that implies or would otherwise lead a reasonable person to believe, that the feature allows the vehicle to function as an autonomous vehicle."

So, they are saying that, even though they are totally lying, hypothetically, someone could build a “partial driving feature” that makes the vehicle “autonomous”?
Don't use Google services and you'll be a happier person. :)
What counts as a 'myth'? They may ignore the mainstream information on details but I doubt many are saying nothing happened.

The media in this case makes a point that we should know about this genocide, but I wonder what effect holding genocides in public consciousness does? Will remembering that Japanese Americans lost their California land prevent further land seizure? Will knowing about the butchering of native Americans stop their mistreatment? Did denying the Armenian genocide help Azerbaijan take over?

Will knowing about the Holocaust or believing it happened prevent Jewish hatred? All the Nazis online either deny the Holocaust or want it to happen. Knowledge doesn't help.
Poe's law strikes again.

HN, StackOverflow, Hey.com/Basecamp, Lichess and probably many others that I'm not remembering or aren't famous run mostly or exclusively on real iron.

We don't need buzzword bingo to build reliable, internet-scalable systems, especially when a hiccup occurs so rarely that it's news when it does happen.
> Yes, yes just about the entire NFT thing was just the obvious financial scams you can’t pull off in the real economy anymore. But the idea of an independent way to show your receipts? I think that’s got some real value.

Sure. But who enforces that receipt? Who still hosts the data? The people who purchased those things on Playstation have the receipts, there's no confusion about that - it's just that a different agreement made prior to purchase between two other parties means you can't watch that stuff anymore.

Putting the receipts on the blockchain or whatever doesn't solve this problem at all.
that’s right, stick it to the minimum wage worker for the employer’s (or likely corporate’s) decision in payment processing platform.

I gave it a serious go, and I use Kagi search (Orion is made by Kagi).

I'll be honest - I didn't like it. It felt more like Safari than Arc, but fell short of both. I had a particular problem with 1Password, but also the UI just felt clunky.

I haven't tried it for several months though, it might be better now.

There's also the paid SigmaOS browser, which is is the same vein, and I didn't like that either - it makes different decisions than Arc, IIRC the vertical tab is persistent, kinda like slide over multitasking on iPadOS.

I have an ultrawide display and sometimes I'd like to just add a bunch of vertical tabs (e.g. if I'm browsing house listings and want them side-by-side). It'd be cool if I could get a vertically scrolling view of individual tabs, but the UX on that would be difficult to get right.

Oh, another thing Arc is good at is trackpad support - I can just two-finger scrolling between spaces and it's a really nice experience. I will probably move away from Arc eventually, since it's VC funded and pretty much doomed, but I guess if they have a paid model like Kagi I might be tempted.

I also hate fragmentation between devices. Pretty much all my devices are Apple - MBP, multiple iPads, iPhone, etc. The value proposition of native tab syncing is very high, and whilst Arc has a companion app I don't like that experience.
The Economist is right-wing, it's just a measure of their reader demographics which would tend to appreciate holocaust conspiracy theories.
Gotcha, that makes sense. From our perspective, the one-way sync market (backups and ETL/rETL) was already saturated with heavily-capitalized players who were hitting each other hard with marketing dollars. We didn't feel that we had a unique insight with one-way syncs, but did feel like we'd come across something unique with two-way use cases.

So we decided to double down in this smaller, underserved area for now as we try to build something people love, even if it's a bit niche.

That being said, there probably is room in the backup space for challengers against the incumbents - it's a massive market.
> Now for the harder part: why do some young Americans embrace such views? Perhaps surprisingly, education levels do not appear to be the culprit... the proportion of respondents who believe that the Holocaust is a myth is similar across all levels of education. Social media might play a role. According to a 2022 survey from the Pew Research Centre, Americans under 30 are about as likely to trust information on social media as they are to trust national news organisations. More recently Pew found that 32% of those aged 18-29 get their news from TikTok.

Question asked. Question answered.

There is legitimate debate around the deterioration of news organizations as accurate, trusted sources of information. But TikTok and its ilk are nothing but propaganda vectors, and not in a direction we are going to enjoy going.
Adding Whisper subtitles was really easy and they're dramatically better than the automatic Google ones (I did it via https://github.com/abdeladim-s/subsai, which was trivial to use). So there is now a reasonably good transcript available in the video comments.

Also,
It wouldn't be research if you already knew what you were doing.

Just because a particular assembly has it's tasks divided up between a myriad of people does not mean it is impossible to unify those tasks into a single person. In point of fact, the continued existence of mice can be directly attributed that someone has the network of knowledge/knowers of pieces of the problem already nailed down.

Yes, the level of detail the real world flings at us on a regular basis is surprisingly deep, but hardly ineffable.

>People really need to understand that Google is a garbage company that can't be relied on for anything.

I've heard horror stories with GCP from paying customers.
> Nah. People are free to criticise whatever they want to.

I agree. But I don't agree that there's no harm to it. Tiktokers and Tweeters with zero understanding of the judicial system go online to harass the lawyers of whatever team they disagree with. That's causing harm. A parallel can be drawn between such behavior and that of people harassing actors who portrayed a villain in a movie/show really well - see Jack Gleeson and the death threats he received for playing King Joffrey too well in GOT.

To be clear, I am not saying we should impose limits on what can be said about lawyers. I'm merely stating I miss the days when social media addicts did not feel compelled to comment on legal matters.
> A lack of actual (not assumed) alignment within teams and leadership around what a design system is, what problems it solves, and how it will provide value.

I would describe it as "design systems are difficult because people are difficult".

Working with the average SaaS component can lead you into a muddy spaghetti rabbit hole where you can tell every dev who has worked with it was not following any particular way of doing things other than "making it work". Including yourself.
Surprised you can't initialize a replica from a backup. That would have saved all the farting around streaming the old stable DB content to the new server.

Also, this isn't "zero downtime" -- there's a few seconds down time while service cuts over to the new server.

The article omits details on how consistency was preserved -- you can't just point your application at both servers for some period of time, for example. Possibly you can serve reads from both (but not really), but writes absolutely have to be directed to only one server. Article doesn't mention this.

Lastly, there was no mention of a rollback option -- in my experience performing this kind of one-off fork lift on a large amount of data, things sometimes go off the rails late at night. Therefore you always need a plan for how you can revert to the previous step, go to bed with the assurance that service will still be up in the morning. Specifically that is hard if you've already sent write transactions to the new server but for some reason need to cut back to the old one. Data is now inconsistent.
My car automatically shifts to Park when the driver side door is opened if it is stopped. It does this even if it is in Neutral. The car wash person was very unhappy about it, until I offered to sit inside to make sure it stays in Neutral
With the proliferation of AI content creation tools as the catalyst, we're going to go from a natural decentralization cycle to a natural centralization cycle which will be bringing trust back to sources like WSJ and NBC nightly news. Obviously you still have to keep your guard up but that was never and will never be not true.

Further, many of the social media sources today will work to show "real" sources versus AI generated content, etc. and that will result in some of those sources themselves just becoming centralized authorities on what is generated and what is not, though that job is more difficult.
According to the very article you linked, it seems like the Palestinians who were killed were trying to invade Israel: "with thousands approaching the fence"
Yeah, say all you want about AWS pricing, but damn if Amazon doesn't go out of their way to support things for a very long time.
We have a drivers exam in one form or another in nearly every country that is intended to certify and evaluate your ability to pilot a vehicle. While it doesn’t always, it should include all facets of driving and the car shouldn’t need to hold your hand. I strongly believe that this hand holding cars are required to do now just lowers the average skill of new drivers.

A great example of this is an alarming amount of new drivers are absolutely incapable of backing a vehicle up unguided on mirrors alone, they rely solely on the backup camera and it was never a skill they had to learn.
> And we don't expect drivers to be adequately trained and get a licence?

At the level of airline pilots???

This discussion has happened many, many times here on HN. Tesla's marketing is extremely misleading (and it's not the only case).
Do paper photo books of the best pics, now.

The risk of losing all your pictures in 30 years is probably like 50%.

The digital photo generations gonna have a void of childhood pictures when they get old.
Not surprised but the risk and reward is there. You buy/rent A100s to train open sourced model to generate value, it could go to waste the minute a new model beats you the next day
The original article is talking about the human microbiome. Garlic and turmeric would affect that as well.
I've developed a GUI / workflow around converting bitmap images to vector traces. The first version was jquery and duct tape, the second version was react / material UI, the third version was a backend service and "forms" based application I made with the intent of hooking it up to another backend. I found other cool data sources to feed into plotters as well.

I have a half built CNC machine, currently stuck on replacing the mainboard because the first one I used died. I want to design a web UI around a pen plotter as a piece of artwork, not a slave to the "bored moms monetized cloud" like my Cricut is.

I took time off from this project because my career exploded. Things are finally getting a lot better. Looking forward to working on this again, experiences like this teach you how bad you really want it.

> Then of course there is the complete disabling of the in-car navigation controls while moving, so my passenger can't configure the map while I'm driving

Tesla allows this and a lot of other things. TBH, I'm shocked that NHTSA hasn't made them stop, given how quickly they've intervened when passengers were allowed to play solitaire on the screen in drive. :)

I understand the reasoning, but it is all a bit weird given that people have a phone that they can use instead. And unfortunately, they do resort to the phone pretty regularly.

"without seeing ads this is just as easy as ever."

No. It. Is. Not.

The problem is you've internally moved the goalposts on what you consider an ad, from what would have more historically been considered an ad.

Those clothes with a big nike swoosh on them, those are ads. Individuals wear ads around everywhere. Objects are covered in their own advertising. If you have any electronics on you, god only knows what metrics they are collecting. Hell, these days if you're with anyone else that has electronics there is a non-zero chance those devices are spying on and tracking you.
Still kinda shitty. There's a time and a place for it. This ain't it.
They’re also claiming that even though they are continuing to break the law, the statute of limitations starts when the government first noticed the illegal behavior.
It's analogous to the browser navigation. It's entirely to the app to decide which screens and interactions are part of the navigation tree and which are not.
Love this in concept, as a toy, but to be honest I could never see myself using this ever.
Yes. Any customer service agent (human or chatbot) is supposed to be heavily censored.
Is "pro-Hamas" how they describe their actions, or how you describe them?
The article states that the trend spans education levels.
Well, in my (Gen-X) high school history classes, we only got to WWI (and just after like the 1920's - 30's). I always thought that there is this weird assumption that things that happened in the teachers' lifetime or just previous are "already known" or that the culture will just implant that knowledge somehow.
I'd argue this is a good thing. In Android UX guidelines, the "back" button's "promise" is not that you go back to a specific item, it's that you unwind your most recent action (notably, not unwind state, it's not an "undo" button, just that it unwinds the most recent action).

Apps get to decide what metaphor makes sense for an "action" (maybe it's a page, a screen, a dialog, etc). But users can be confident that the "back" button always takes them "backwards", even if the metaphor various apps use may differ.

Users can feel reasonably safe that the "back" button will take them "back" one 'step' or one 'action' worth, even if the app is using panels instead of pages, or modal dialogs instead of inline alerts
Interestingly, this story is about founders from Berlin. Look past the place and business names, imagine North American ones, it fits. But it's not a Silicon Valley or American story.

And in this case looks to have classic business problems, like salespeople selling things that can't be delivered. As well as the Ag issues, whether or not those would be solvable.

Eh, it's going to end up moving to photonics.

When we finally have NNs abusing virtual photons for the majority of network operations and using indirect measurement to train weights we'll have absolute black boxes performing above and beyond any other hardware medium.

Initially we'll simply be replicating hardware like the recent MIT study, but I'd guess that within 5 years we'll have successful attempts at photonic first approaches to developing models that are going to blow everything else out of the water by an almost unbelievable degree compounding by network size.

For nearly every computing task I'd wager quantum computing is around 20 years out, but only for NNs between stochastic outputs being desirable and network operations being a black box anyways they are kind of a perfect fit for developing large analog networks that take advantage of light's properties without worrying about intermediate measurements at each step.

It's going to get really nuts when that happens, and the literal neuron computing efforts are going to fall out of fashion not long after.
> The answer is extremely, extremely simple actually: because the outcome of that would be bad, while the outcome of controlling misleading advertising is good.

I don't think that is how law should work. For some people the outcome of regulating free speech would be bad, many wouldn't care, and for many people (for example, for the President and his team, some of his supporters, members of the government) it would be great.

There is no such thing as "make something better for everyone". It is always "make better for one and worse for another". For example, if you raise minimum salary there will be people upset with that (people who pay the salary; people who see the prices raise).

Also it would be better if the law would be precise and there would be no need to interpret it in someone's favor.

> * I personally ran a website with Google Ads, and the first time I tried to cash out was accused of click fraud and had all the earned money stolen,

I've heard of this happening to a lot of people. I hate using Adsense, and have mainly disabled it in the past, but it seems when I do, I get super heavy traffic and always think, "darn, I should have kept Adsense running".

I'm wondering if it's worth slowing down my sites and annoying users to eventually get to $100 to see if I'll be able to cash it out. It's getting close to $100, so it's hard to deactivate.
Back when things were on tape they would still call it film.
Slamming on the brakes seems like an over-reaction. Nobody is arguing opening the door at speed is safe, but an unexpected brake application isn't safe either.

A more appropriate measure would be a loud and annoying alarm. Or a steering wheel shaker (like many lane-keeping systems already have).

I was not there, but a couple of subtleties about what you wrote that I'm sure you are aware of, but you glossed over, and are perhaps important on your narration:

- A condemnation of Israel is not necessarily pro-Hamas
- A palestinian scarf is not necessarily pro-Hamas
- A person with a rainbow flag is not necessarily gay
- A palestinian is not necessarily pro-Hamas, or pro-hanging gay people.
I’m uncomfortable with tipping zero, knowing how servers are paid in the US. But it also seems wrong to tie the tip to the price, when the work is comparable.

I’m going to think about an alternative minimum tip, maybe something like:

- $1 per item for a takeout counter
- $5 per person at sit down service
- $10 for an average delivery

If everyone did that, a couple of things would happen:

- servers would have to push for higher pay
- restaurants and bars would raise their prices

The advantage is this would be predictable and understandable for everyone. In Europe and elsewhere, reasonable pay is assumed, and you tip rarely for exceptional service. That’s really where things need to go.
Besides as the sibling pointed out the backpack, what do you do when you're driving 80 on the highway and a kid unbuckles? Do you slam on your breaks, cruise to the shoulder, and sit in a dangerous place on the highway while having an argument with a 4-year old? If the goal is to keep everybody safe (including the kid), that would be terrible, terrible advice.
I only tip in cash, so just put in zero.
There is a small cottage industry of privacy focused products that do some section of the heavy lifting (adguard comes to mind, and there is a paid DNS service that essentially does what pihole does with easier configuration as well) but no "one stop shop" as of yet, and I think in part its because

- the market isn't conditioned to want these services

- awareness of their benefits aren't obvious

- Its still within the realm of the technically literate to understand its purpose
> I trust cloud just fine--I just don't trust unsustainable business models.

It was a telegram bot during covid (India), The backend would look for vaccine availability by calling the govt covid api's for vaccine availability. Then it would would connect to a telegram bot and alert subscribers when vaccine became available with hospital addresses, and no. of slots available. It was limited to one state, there were similar bots but it was a good project to do :)
I guess you mean to say that we will go back to centralization since nothing decentralized can be trusted, with how easy it will become to fake facts. But that's assuming that the consumer primarily cares about truth. If that was the case, we would not be here to begin with.
Those places have always been anti-war.
Reading what the article actually says beyond the clickbait, there is no reason to take that statement seriously.

I think pharmacies should have two sections: one for drugs that have been scientifically studied and are FDA approved. Another section (separate aisle) for all the bullshit supplements with a big disclaimer (sometimes called the quack miranda warning): "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease." Right now these products are often co-mingled.
