> Yes, preview is generated by the sender to avoid receiver's address leak to a sender-controlled host, but what I'm saying is that WA should enforce on the receiver side that both point to the same URL.

How do you do that without having the receiver make an HTTP request to that address, in order to follow all redirects?
Tesla didn't even have a car before Musk came along, let alone a path to profitability.

Whatever Musk's faults, it's really interesting to see people rewrite history.

> Is it rational for a rationalist to want to be a parent, knowing that having a kid rewrite your utility function?

You’re making an assumption that their desires (or, if you must, “utility function”) weren’t already in that direction to begin with.

As a personal anecdote, I can say that I remember myself wanting kids/a family as far back as elementary school. Now that I’m married and kids are plausibly on the horizon, I can’t say that’s really changed.

At the risk of speculating, I get the feeling you may not want kids, and are projecting those feelings onto other people.
You can turn off features you don't really need/use. Search indexing, Windows Defender real-time scans, Microsoft compatibility telemetry, weather, ads, Cortana, etc.
And arguably the reason it got so successful is because he conned people into believing that the cars they were buying could drive themselves.

SpaceX was luck. Luck he ran into the people he did (people like Zubrin) at that time he did. Luck that his Tesla con paid off.

That seems to be a pretty big and weird theme of his. For a long time he was focused on creationists (first VenomFangX, then Ray Comfort), and at the time that didn't seem to be a big deal, because creationism deserves mockery. Then he did a hard pivot and obsessed over Anita Sarkeesian for years, and that started to make it clear that it he was more interested in hosting a 2 Minutes Hate, and didn't care as much about the subject his targets cared about.

Unfortunately for the "US is bad" narrative, conflict in the Middle East far predates US involvement. Genocides, ethnic cleansing, forced conversions, and plenty of other atrocities have been happening globally for a long time. These did not come into being with the modern world.

This is not to say that there are not valid criticisms of US actions. But the Arab world deserves more criticism than it typically gets.
Sorry, I thought aggression on the international stage was more clearly implied. I understand there are issues in Taiwan, Tibet, Ugyyhur province. But they aren't invading countries around the world to involve themselves in other people's problems.

I'm not sure what you're saying in your last paragraph. China have worked consistently with SA and Yemen to try to facilitate peace talks. They were opposed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are opposed to Israeli aggression.

> Most people who cargo-cult "OO is bad" don't get this [that OO programs are meta programs that build the system].

Alas, many people who advocate OO don't get this either, and in particular they don't see this as a problem to be solved.

Having to do things indirectly is not a good state of affairs. See "goto statement considered harmful". [1]

It is similar to the way we had to work with text editors made for printing terminals: "...requires a mental skill like that of blindfold chess; the user must keep a mental image of the text he is editing, which he cannot easily see, and calculate how each of his editing command `moves' changes it." [2]

> OOD/OOP has been a great success that has led to the explosion of software that we take for granted today.

Yes, people forget that the problems we are now having are the ones that are due to OO success.

Language level. At the systems level we know how to build these types of system (COM, Smalltalk, Objective-C, Unix pipes and filter, REST, notification systems, ...), what we lack is the ability to express them in the program text: https://objective.st/

This is awesome! It's like a retro version of my youth; as someone 25 years older, I realize that not nearly as many people are interested in homelab/self-hosting stuff now. And it's not retro for retro's sake; Varun is also working on the latest tech as well.

I think those nightmares depend a bit on how many people own a car.

> I was curious so I just checked, and the number of cars is just shy of the number of people of driving age, even in the bicycle paradise of the Netherlands.

This might sound like a high amount of ownership, but if you compare it to some other countries then it’s not that bad (or impressive if that’s how you look at it).

The Netherlands has 588 cars per 100k inhabitants v. 908 in the US as an example[0].

If you go down the rabbit hole and look at the sources for these numbers, you’ll find that in the US only 8% of households don’t own a car[1] v. 26% of households in the Netherlands[2].

37.1% has two cars in the US and 21.9% has three or more in the US[1] v. 21% and 6% respectively in the Netherlands[2]

I think it’s safe to say that there’s less cars on the road in the Netherlands and thus less of that nightmare scenario that is described in GP.

That said, plenty of drivers in the Netherlands (not having the frame of reference of more busy countries) consider the Netherlands having “nightmares” for drivers. In particular when it comes to parking, where the main complaint is the price of parking and the lack of parking close to a destination.

Personally I don’t consider it a nightmare but a blessing that a lot of Dutch downtown areas force parking on the outer edge, leaving the shopping areas as pedestrian only areas. But that doesn’t mean that other people with other interests don’t consider it a nightmare.

Whenever, in the very rare instance, a city or town here in the US tries to marginally move towards such a situation, people start dusting off their pitchforks.

Just the other day I saw someone losing their shit on Threads because someone suggested that it would combat sedentary lifestyle somewhat if you’d have to walk 10 minutes from where you’d park every once in a while.

very good concept! i really would like to have this as a Web-app instead of downloading it...
That’s completely fair. I think that the fact that all files are in plain-text significantly reduces the negatives of Obsidian being proprietary. Earlier today I was thinking of switching to Obsidian. However, I don’t see the benefit over Logseq, which I’m somewhat accustomed to.
For me, the only reason I don’t love Logseq is its lack of a web app or PWA.
We already support regex-guided generation in the library, and could easily make an API to serve this as well if that's a feature people want!

> A functioning subway and rail system in LA would dramatically cut down on the number of cars on the roads, which would be reflected in fewer cars sold. This fairly straightforward and logical: Musk loses if there are more trains built.

You're honestly saying that reduced cars, and therefore Tesla sales in one city in one country is going to hurt Tesla/Musk?

Do you realize the Tesla Model Y is now the second best selling vehicle across the entire US, and the best selling car in the entire world? [1]

One city in one country is insignificant at best.

I'm not very active on social media. What are you referring to?
I know Reflect[0] doesn't get alot of attention however I always thought it would be a big improvement if `Reflect.set`, `Reflect.get` and `Reflect.deleteProperty` gained support to deal with nested properties. It would effective give developers built-in JSON Path support[1] (like you see in MySQL, Postgres or SQLite databases).

As an unrelated aside, recursive proxies would also be extremely useful

Washington soliciting feedback re: public risk from the use of "Engineer" title
Most people probably don't get these since they're not on the mailing list but there has been interest in this topic on hn before, notably from the Oregon traffic engineering lawsuit. The email states:

The Washington State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors is collecting stakeholder feedback to measure the risk to public safety of the use of the title “Engineer,” by an unlicensed person, working in a position which offers engineering services to the public.
I just don’t get it.

iMessage is a private service, run by a private company, exclusively for customers who buy physical products from them [1], which does not in any way, shape, or form prevent any other messaging services from working on said products.

I simply do not understand how the FTC or the DOJ can come in and say, “Some third-party reverse-engineered your service to support devices you have implicitly said through years of non-support [2] that you do not want to provide this service to, so you now have an obligation and/or requirement to support third-party interoperation.”

--

[1] iMessage is neither available on Android nor available on iCloud. Consequently, you must purchase or otherwise obtain an Apple hardware device to use iMessage.

[2] And, somewhat explicitly, through documents and statements during litigation.
I don't know why we wouldn't listen to them if they tell us exactly what they want in no uncertain terms. I guess you don't have an answer then.. is it because you don't find any of their demands palatable, or because you don't want to admit you at least partially agree with them?

Interestingly, one of Musk's faults is dishonestly rewriting history to make himself appear to be a co-founder of Tesla.

To my understanding, pyramidal cells are already partially emulated by certain structures of weights. It's not the same as dedicated multi-layer mechanisms outside the local flow, but that option seems difficult to implement efficiently with current compute technology.

Maybe more VRAM to hold the added inter-layer features would allow it? NVidia seems reluctant or unable to do that on the consumer side. I haven't had time to thoroughly read up on why. All of these seem plausible:

* Offsetting rising per-unit costs from other components

* Intentional market segmentation

* Export restrictions
I remember during my lifetime people also said electric cars and self-landing reusable rockets were impossible.

Contrasting that with Branson biting off more than his collection of Virgin brands could chew (which are all failing/reorganizing) is not really the hit piece this author thinks it is.

Show HN: TripGeeks – a website to find, create, and share travel itineraries
Hello,

I made this app to simplify traveling. I envisioned a platform where you can just pick a trip and go just like you might pick a Netflix movie and watch. As someone who’d love to travel more at some point, I thought it’d be great to have a place where I can access all the information I’d need to just take a trip. It’s a community based platform so trips would be created, shared, and rated by the community.

Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions. Thank you.
I don't have any up to date iDevices but I'm pretty sure you can. Android is the one behind here, only allowing apps to integrate through the standard API starting with Android 14.

Yes it's impressive. Of course it will take larger populations like that of the US, China, India, etc. to make the dent we need.
The biggest threat to CA high speed rail is NIMBYism dragging out the project and creating onerous requirements.

This isn't unique to rail, either - if a Hyperloop was built, it'd be NIMBYed just as badly.
This is literally what they put on their own flag, though? Not like it is an ancient flag, either; so you can't "contextualize" it in a way that does it any favors.

I'm curious what makes you want to ignore it?
This is heartbreaking. I can't even imagine the ramifications of losing all my passwords. Beyond the obvious hassle of having to reset everything, there are some accounts I use only rarely (sometimes with unique usernames). I don't think I'd remember them until I needed them.

I found nand2tetris a very natural progression for me after finishing Ben Eater's great 8bit computer series (https://eater.net/8bit/). It just makes you grok so many basic concepts of computer design which are quite often glossed over. A perfect project to start over the holidays!
For the particular set of tradeoffs made by C++. When rolling your own you don't have to do make the same choices.
That is quite disrespectful, on the contrary hitler did have a lot of support fron the US, and I wont quickly forget the all star cast of bankers, politicians, and media that supplied that aid. Nor will I forget the top picks from the Nazi experiment that were wisked away to safety. I believe it far more likely that you would come to their defense than I.
I think people have been burned by RxJS where observables are "cold" by default and the source of many problems, over subscriptions, false starts etc.

China invaded and annexed Nepal (EDIT: Tibet). They’re also prominently involved in Central Asian and African politics.

China depends on Middle Eastern oil. The Strait of Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandab closing pose an existential crisis to it. Letting America deal with the problem lets Beijing focus on messaging.

Packages tend to be more patient than passengers. I'd expect that if someone builds a medium range (or long range) goods transport it will focus on cheap throughput, not on latency. Low latency at any cost use cases would remain the realm of couriers (and/or drones). Short range, things might look different. Urban-scale pneumatic pipe systems had been a thing before fax machines took over. But a last mile package delivery network would likely have more in common with an airport luggage conveyor graph than with hyperloop fantasies.

As someone born in the 90s, I've only heard the term "erector set" maybe 2-3 times ever (I feel like maybe I remember it mentioned in a Calvin and Hobbes comic, or something of that nature), so I have no knowledge about which term was more common, but one of them kind of sounds risque to me...did the word "erect" not have that connotation back then? It's not hard for me to imagine kids (or even adults, really) giggling every time someone used the term "erector set", so I'd expect that to be something people remembered more than "Meccano", which to me sounds like the name of a coffee brand or something.

You should probably clarify that it’s not possible for you to write non-trivial programs in Rust.

And that’s okay! No one comes into this world knowing how to do any thing, but we can all learn if we choose to.

If you have a particular sticking point, I’d be glad to give advice.
Optimus proper power management for laptops on Linux (including fully turning the GPU down) only works on Coffee Lake (and AMD Renoir) and later with Ampere or later GPUs.

Prior to that generation, standard power management mechanisms don't work, and so the NVIDIA driver doesn't turn off the GPU when idle on those older platforms.
You have to count OpenAI. It is the only other company he has built alongside SpaceX (unless you count the unimportant ones like The Boring Company; the original comment implies we are not counting them).

As soon as traffic becomes reasonable because of extensive public transportation...people will go back to using cars.

Really the only perk of public transport is not having to deal with traffic and parking. But as soon as traffic and parking are not an issue, people will always prefer cars.
