Podman on Windows creates a WSL2 distribution (`podman-machine-default` or whatever name one had picked shows up in `wsl --list` right next to other "normal" GNU/Linux distros), it doesn't create any VMs in Hyper-V sense (that show up in Get-VM or HyperV GUI tools).

So, essentially, it's an automation that sets up stuff in WSL for you, plus creates some interoperability from the Windows side such as Docker API named pipe or podman CLI. Nothing you can't do yourself, if you want to do it yourself.

Plus it bundles with those extensions like pre-setup dev Kubernetes or whatever, if you care about those.
Tesla isn’t building C-Stores that sell Gas or Electrons. The superchargers I’ve seen are in some random parking lot without a restroom or convenience store selling stuff.
One of the things that engineering school really drove home for me was the idea that "all models are wrong, some models are useful". You're completely correct that this model is "wrong" because it doesn't account for relativity, but in a lot of cases (plucking a string, waves in water, sound, etc) the relatively component is so small as to be insignificant. We do this all the time across all disciplines: resistors are treated as purely resistive even though their leads have some amount of capacitance and inductance, steel beams are treated as isotropic even though they might have some kind of crystal-grain-induced directionality in strength, the classic F=mg model of gravity works just fine for lots of practical problems. All of these are "wrong" but they're still incredibly useful and give good-enough answers.

To the 1D/2D question, that's more a matter of semantics I think. A more accurate name for it would be the "Wave Equation for a wave propagating in one spatial dimension over time" but that doesn't quite roll of the tongue quite the same way :).
Heck, forget about friends, I have actual blood relatives on several continents.
That's just some good old Musk/Tesla propaganda. Waymo has developed a really high resolution lidar + some software magic means rain is no longer an issue for them.
I think that's a rather uneducated spoonfed media hyperbole. Hurricanes do damage for sure, but generally it is to:

Plenty of places in the state which are insurable, and at minimal risk, but are getting steamrolled by insurance increases. A good chunk of that is roofing insurance fraud. Nobody pays to reroof anymore out of their own pocket.

Minor potential performance benefit -- it looks like you might be able to fuse the x_proj and dt_proj weights here as x_proj has no bias. This is a thing that's possibly doable simply at runtime if there's any weight-fiddling reqs, I'm guessing the single kernel + bias will still run faster in the end (not sure though! <3 :')))) )
> And for countries ruled by minorities

Whew! There's a lot you need to unpack here. There is no place ruled by "minorities." You might want to take some time to reflect on what your word choice says about how you view other people in the world.

> 1. Was there any country in the 1940s,

This is irrelevant. An answer to this question has no bearing on the fact that I brought up earlier.

> 2. If white men need to be loudly and constantly reminded of the sins of their ancestors (that every other society is guilty of but no one talks about it), then is it OK if white men loudly and constantly remind you about the accomplishments of their ancestors that the whole world benefits from today?

The premise of this is invalid. Why do you incorrectly think that there exists a kind of arithmetic where bad deed in the past + good deed in the past = net good ?

Additionally, why are you taking all of this so personally? Have you personally done any of these "sins of their ancestors" you speak of? No? Then why do you feel any sort of need to defend these sins? I hope you realize that you are not your ancestors.

> It may be a fact (I question the "much"), but is it a meaningful fact?

It's meaningful so that people can realize that there's a choice to be made. Knowing the past empowers people in the present to decide if they want to continue or fight against unjust inertia.

If you choose to be misled about what actually occurred, or are in the unfortunate position where everyone else around you is deluding themselves and thus impart that delusion onto you, then you may find yourself in a position where you don't understand the world.

> Or just a dumb rhetorical device to bully and silence people for perceived crimes made by their ancestors?

Do you feel like you're being silenced? Why?

> Can you admit that the world owes all of this to white men?

You talk about things you believe are solely due to people of a particular race - you say "the world owes all of this to white men" without realizing a couple of key facts. First, due to systematic racism, it was outright impossible for non-white folks in European (and colonies thereof) to be in positions to make any sort of contributions to these things you mention. Same thing applies to women.

This is what people mean when they point out that racial and gender diversity is important. You will never have inventions and discoveries take place by folks that are explicitly excluded from the institutions that gate keep these functions in society.

Overall...I fear that you are falling into the trap of believing that there's any genuine, natural validity to the artificial construct that is race.
Race does not exist in nature. Ancient Europeans invented the concept of race, around the same time they invented the concept of Capitalism.

In reality, people have different complexions as a result of their exposure to UV light. They inherit genes from people that control the production of melanin in their skin. If you have ancestors that had lots of UV light exposure, then the genes that will be passed down to you will cause your skin to produce more melanin to safely absorb more UV light. That's it.
Cairo Illinois has been routinely destroyed. I can think of no worse place to build a city than a confluence of the two of the biggest rivers on earth.
You don't even need rails for traffic to improve. Just think at what happens when a traffic light goes green: human drivers slowly, one-by-one, cross the intersection. Whereas a platoon of self-driving cars can, in principle, just accelerate (or brake) simultaneously. On highways this also improves drag/energy efficiency and has already been tested in Europe as part of EU Truck Platooning Challenge.
It had me until I saw the file explorer. Oh God, the design hurts me in so many ways.
I can't find the report, but IIRC there was a study that calculated that autonomous driving could triple the carrying capacity of highways because they could safely reduce following distance. They also estimated fuel/energy savings due to them being able to collectively draft of each other.

But just because fewer people own one personally, will that necessarily mean fewer cars on the road? Might still be an increase in cars, but with a different ownership model. It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.
Pretty neat! Worth keeping in mind though that a lot of that data came from Phoenix, a city that only gets 8 inches of rain a year and has fairly pristine, well-marked roads to match. In a way, Phoenix is the perfect initial testing ground for self-driving cars before you put them in an environment that more closely resembles the typical US city.

But a lot of that data also seems to come from San Francisco, so I have to admit I'm impressed.

The core of what Adobe offers is centered around a deteriorating print paradigm with digital capabilities tacked-on. Figma is of the Web whole cloth. They may look similar and do similar things, but there's a reason they made a move. Adobe has done a few cool things in the interim, but nothing that truly compensates for the jank eroding their cloud bundle, which is mostly smoke and mirrors (and if that's your thing, davinci or blender are probably what you're reaching for).
>wondering if these movies have caused untold external consequences to humanity in its adoption of AI just to sell a few tickets

What are you saying? This isn't like when The Simpsons made fun of nuclear power and depicted it as doing impossible things. AGI is a hypothetical technology and we don't yet know what it could be capable of or even if it's feasible.

Any idea can change a person's mind in one direction or another. Yours is an argument against the exchange of ideas in general. "Since hearing an idea could cause a person to $DO_BAD_THING, exchanging ideas (for example, by talking to people with $WRONG_OPINION, or by consuming fiction) is bad."

Kubernetes allows you to make complex networking, which is especially useful for cluster setups involving multiple nodes. But if you're comparing kubernetes with docker, docker does not have load balancers, ingresses, so you can just skip it, if you feel that it's too much of complexity. They're not mandatory.

As others have noted, autonomous vehicles may actually lead to less car use. Currently, many people must own cars for certain use cases. Because of this, for any given trip the decision to take car vs. other means is based on the marginal cost of car usage. In contrast, if people no longer need to own cars because of autonomous taxis, the decision of car vs. other reflects the ammortized cost of car use, which will be far higher than the marginal cost. Put another way, there are plenty of trips being taken by car now simply because people have a car for other reasons, but if they didn't own a car they'd far sooner take another option vs. renting/Uber/Waymo.
Any downside other than bigger plug?

And plug is bigger partially because it needs to support 3 phases, which isn’t a thing in USA houses (while common across the whole world) but is a thing at industrial locations. Tesla plug doesn’t work with 3 phases.

As I'm far past my student years I don't _have_ to read certain books. So nowadays I read non-fiction the same as fiction: I read until the book doesn't hold my interest anymore. I don't feel compelled to have to finish a book. As you said, not reading bad books (or good books that are just not for me in that moment) leaves more time for reading other books.

I buy enough books, but I mostly read books from the library. Wonderful institutions, those are. Don't like a book? Just return it and get a few others.
Seatbelts everyone!
Such a bad take

> even more cars on the streets

You don’t know that. I could make a prediction that it would lead to fewer cars on the street. Fewer parked cars especially.

> less investment into better modes of transport

I assume you mean subways, buses, and trams here. But I don’t think it’s fair to call them “better”. They’re hugely expensive and can be disruptive in many ways, are much less accessible.

> traffic will get a lot worse once people are ok with sitting in bad traffic

You also don’t know that traffic will get worse. Traffic could potentially get much better with better drivers. But also, if people are ok with it, then who cares?
They already have those video ads in a lot of taxis. And of course public transit has been plastered with paper ads for decades now. So what you're describing isn't much of a change from the status quo. Unless you believe the advent of self-driving cars will lead to people being okay with ads in the vehicles they own or lease themselves, which I think is highly unlikely.
No, it's not a gambler's fallacy. You know you got zero this year, it already happened. You know it's expected 1/n next year (assuming independence, etc), just like every year. So the expected amount of hurricanes next year is more than what you did get this year, which was 0. In total you now (as of now, year 1 end) expect only 0 + 1/n total hurricanes over the two years (this year and next). That is 1/2n per year: less that you would have predicted at the start of this year, which would have been 2/n over two years for 1/n per year.

A gambler's fallacy is thinking getting 0 this year means it's more likely than 1/n next year to act to retroactively "correct" 0 this year.
I think this one in particular, like many others before it, always fail at replicating the Explorer look. This is probably a limitation in Dolphin and other linux file browsers, but it just doesn't look like Windows Explorer at all to me, it just looks like a ugly vista skinned dolphin.

That's one other thing too (also probably a limitation on a few widgets) like the calendar and system tray, which look more Vista than WinAero/7.

I agree that the existing car stock will take a decade or two to age out, but I can't see any reason it takes 50 years to get to a majority autonomous fleet. Maintenance costs for cars in autonomous fleet will be significantly lower due to standardization and economies of scale, so non-autonomous cars will look relatively expensive in comparison (beyond being less convenient), causing them to be scrapped sooner than you'd otherwise expect.

Abstractions are absolutely human-usable. My only issue is overly verbose yamls, but some people might even find it a good thing.
The situation you described doesn’t sound like “Right Way Guys”. It actually sounds like “Bikeshedding” [1]. This means giving a disproportionate amount of attention or importance to the trivial details while neglecting or giving less attention to the significant issues.

Imagine a committee commissioned to approve plans for a Nuclear Power Plant. But the committee spends all their time discussing the color of the bike shed that they want built nearby.

In your case, their focus on separate VMs for QA/Production, systemd deployments, templating system for a few strings, and an ORM for a few SQL queries, especially for a project with a limited user base (10 people) really exemplifies Bike-shedding.

They’re emphasizing minor, arguably unnecessary details rather than the core functionality or purpose of the project [2]. This usually occurs because these trivial aspects are easier to understand and discuss, especially for junior devs, which leads to increased involvement on minor details while the more meaningful parts of a project (which might be more challenging to address), are overlooked or given less attention.

IMO, a good leader knows how to strike a balance between the “Right Way” and avoiding the pitfalls of “Bike-shedding”.

[2] I would argue complete documentation of the meaningful parts of the project is not bike-shedding.

Its so hard to explain to people not in the know just how miraculous JWST is. the fact that it wasnt canceled after blowing budgets and deadlines, after massive setbacks from accidents, and that the extremely complicated launch and deployment went off without a hitch. Hell even the functional resolution of the scope ended up higher than predicted. A project that started in 1996! I remember reading about it in some science magazine when i was 7 years old, and saw its first image when i was 27.

I will forever remember the interviews with the team in the weeks up to launch. Some high level direct i cant remember the name of made it clear that this is the last time he expects we will have a project formatted like this because it was the pinnacle of complexity. Alternatively, future projects will be multiple simple deployments of parts into space where they are remotely and semi-autonomously assembled. So nail biters on the scale of JWST launch day are probably only going to be seen again with manned exploration missions, and even then, the amount of complexity and factors that can go wrong should be significantly reduced.
A quote from Tyler Cowen I read this morning...

Tyler Cowen: Uncertainty should not paralyse you. Try to do your best, pursue maximum expected value, and just avoid the moral nervousness. Be a little Straussian about it. Like here's a rule, on average it's a good rule, we're all gonna follow it. Bravo, go on to the next thing. Be a builder.

Joe Walker: Get on with it?

Tyler Cowen: Yes. Because ultimately the nervous Nellies, they're not philosophically sophisticated, they're overindulging in their own neuroticism when you get right down to it. So it's not like there's some brute let's be a builder' view and then in contrast there's some deeper wisdom that the real philosophers pursue. It's: you be a builder or you're a nervous Nelly. Take your pick. I say be a builder.
It's the social media era equivalent to "advertising doesn't work on me, I can see right through these stupid commercials."

When I used to be on reddit there was this idea that algorithmic content curation didn't apply to us because of the upvote system. There often seems to be a similar implication (by way of omission) when these discussions come up on HN. I'm not familiar with the workings of the HN feed, I only migrated here last summer, but the reddit feed is absolutely subject to gaming and algorithmic shenanigans.

The comparison would be thinking our government is completely free from corruption and undue influence because we all have the right to vote.

Huh? If anything this disproves your point. Industrial players quickly (all things considered) converged on a superior format. I usually agree with you on standardizing stuff like this but this isn't an example of top down standardization leading to better outcomes. Not necessarily worse, but not better either.
I do not see how the existence of autonomous taxis is any different than the existence of taxis.

The existence of taxis is (obviously) not enough to curb car usage growth.

EDIT:
Some specificity:
How would robotaxis replace commuting for millions of people in a way that reduces car rides? The taxi has to move at least from the storage to the rider pickup to the rider dropoff. Without sharing, that's actually more miles and the same number of cars.

Instead, if it picks up two people per day, that's more miles, fewer cars in existence (since both riders dont need a car), but the same number of car trips (plus the to/from storage).

With taxis (robotic or otherwise) the number of miles driven is just going up unless people change their lifestyle. That doesn't do anything to curb care useage.
>Rite Aid banned from using AI facial recognition for five years

First mover disadvantage.

By then everyone else will have been using it for a while.
The most relevant stat though is the number of miles of car usage. If there are ~20% the number of cars, but each car is used 10x as much, we're worse off. If nobody owns a car but always calls a cab, the cab might do twice as many miles deadheading to the pickup. And instead of lasting 15 years, a typical car might only last 2 years because it's getting 10x the milage per day. So fewer cars might result in more gridlock, noise and tire particulate pollution. Fewer cars might mean just as many cars built per year.
