I think if they make a good product it should always be possible to hire a designer to make their cars look good without industrial design infringements.
This would be a cool project for a Uni Humanities Department and would lend some credibility to the finished product. Get them rolling with some basic infra; a site, wiki, bugtracker and git repo.
Meta was a primary sponsor for the most recent All-Systems-Go, and employs several folks contributing upstream to systemd.

Also note Lennart is no longer even at RedHat, he's at Microsoft nowadays. I'm surprised Microsoft wasn't a major All-Systems-Go sponsor alongside Meta...

There's been a lot of earth shifting under these projects, for better or worse.

In my experience, Phind also seems fairly nice and is free for now, at least when the Cloudflare protection in front of it doesn't fuss over me using a VPN: https://www.phind.com

Aside from that, I just paid for GitHub Copilot (https://github.com/features/copilot), albeit JetBrains are also coming out with their own product (https://www.jetbrains.com/ai/).

It's nice that there are options that are basically "plug and play", both free and paid ones, if you don't feel like tinkering with the open source models, or don't have the hardware to run them with good performance (such as me only having an RX 580 GPU).
Which rural areas are you thinking of? Toulouse and Seville are really not that big (they’re both around the size of Oklahoma City when considering their metro areas). Hamburg is quite a bit bigger.
And you think that those individuals are representative of the value of the field of humanities? Sorry, but that's just a red herring.

I mean, I'm suspicious of individuals who can't hack it in general, too, but not sure how that's relevant.

> It turned out I worked in the same building he had, and I found his old office. Word is after he left they locked it up, like a crime scene. I think they were worried his whistleblowing would turn to leaks and I guess they thought his office would have some sort of evidence? It was an interior office so no big loss real estate wise, but that was a super weird chapter.

If they were worried about a lawsuit from him they might want to preserve everything in case it was subpoenaed regardless of guilt or innocent - possibly especially if they thought his claims were wrong.
Hm, strange. I haven't looked at the numbers, but I would assume more Androids are sold and in use with GMS than iPhones. But you might be completed right!

Also it's a very interesting point about China and AirTags. How come it's not forbidden by the CCP?
In all seriousness I would recommend reading into the subculture around salvia.

> Federal income taxes are unfair and unnecessary. Since it had been demonstrated (via MMT) that taxes do not fund the Federal government,

That is incorrect

MMT does not propose that the state can fund itself without tax, except for some seriously deluded proponents who have lost their grip on reality

The use of resources by the state requires those resources are unavailable to other actors

Money is a slippery and an abstract concept. But it must always connect to physical reality

The market is not an isolated thing sitting out there in nature. It is a complex system built and run by humans. Index investors are freeloading off of the work that a bunch of active investors are doing. This is good for the index investors because they do not need to pay for all the work that active investors are doing for them.

Active investors, for their part, need to either maintain enough of an edge over freeloaders to justify their pay, or serve a niche market with concerns other than "line go up" (this is where the "hedge" in "hedge fund" comes from).

If every participant is an index investor, then no one is doing the actual work, so the entire system crumbles.
They'll know from flight data recorder the exact time the decompression occurred. They'll know where and at what altitude the airplane was in the sky at that time and in which direction and speed it was moving. It's nearly a high school physics problem at that point to calculate where the door landed.
I'm indeed neither a cryptographer nor planning to become one, don't worry ;)
You had better tell Shahzia Sikander that.
Jiang et al. (2023) was not replicable, is what.

I don't see this one retraction proves/disproves causality one way or the other; without looking at all other studies on the same thing.

It does however prove that The Lancet isn't very scrupulous about forcing authors to retract even when a paper is discredited, or properly crediting third-parties with discovering serious errors (rather than fogging things to suggest the authors voluntarily initiated the retraction, which they didn't).
Just no.

Teslas revenue growth is rapidly slowing. Growth contracting by 50% each year since 2019

Tesla has .66x the revenue of GM but 18x the market cap.

Even at todays rate of growth, teslas market cap today is valued at like 100 years in the future.

Disclaimer, I didn’t even do napkin math because teslas valuation is utterly absurd and claiming it’s proper in comparison to other companies in the same segment is completely ludicrous.
Yes it's possible to write Java without any boxing of primitives or garbage collection, but one can't use any of the standard libraries and it's not really Java one is writing but a very restricted subset. I don't think these benchmark are particularly indicative of real world performance. But of course Java is still hundreds (thousands?) of times faster than Python.
It is wrong, not irrelevant

The right of, and purpose for, the state to tax is very relevant to the methods used
Sure. It's lazy and correct.
> Renting out scooters/bikes just seems like a very low-margin business

As are food delivery and taxi services, but VCs and sovereign wealth funds have sunk untold billions into them. Usually the pitch has some pipe dream angle like "self-driving robotaxis" that makes it sound more visionary than it is. I have no idea what Bird's equivalent was supposed to be.
Every job that I've had I've found despite LinkedIn. My first graduate job was through word of mouth, the second I was headhunted, the third I found a recruiter that was worth his salt (who also, eventually, placed me at my fourth). Anything I've needed to know about a company there were ways outside of LinkedIn to find out, often as LinkedIn seemed like a HR washed exercise in grandiose. FWIW they're all but one are companies you would've heard of.
Thanks for featuring, author of the website here. This is the same version as the one I've first made back in 2006, the main dataset is a derived GTFS dataset from swiss raw timetables (HRDF) [1].

The position of the trains are interpolated, based on the departure / arrival times of stop times and is using the average speed. I've used to have also an hourly updater for the delays using the GTFS-RT dataset [2] but is gone due to lack of time. ATM there is no official dataset to give the live position of the vehicles, all the other websites are just interpolating positions based on the time delays.

The website still runs as hobby project, is not meant to be taken as source of truth for actual position of the trains, though I get many requests from trainspotters and photographers asking me for such feature :)

And for some routes you can sit and enjoy watching the route displaying actual train units [3] more a simcity-like feature :)

> yet they do not imply IRS is operating efficiently

The IRS budget for 2020 was $11.5bln to support $3.42 trillion in tax receipts, so I'm not sure that's inefficient. Could it be more efficient? Sure, but it's not as bad as people like to paint it. For comparison, the Los Angeles Unified School District budget alone for that same year was $15bln.
In fairness to Tesla stockholders, I think there is some genuine attraction to owning a company that isn’t entirely hobbled by US professional management culture, and that is trying to build new things on an aggressive schedule. And watching the big US carmakers fall on their faces trying to launch EVs, I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe those “Tesla will eat the entire legacy car industry” predictions aren’t quite as outlandish as I once thought.
The causes are multiple and not clearly established, but it is clearly neurological (hardware) and not a personality defect. This is established through research into the brain and interactions with certain medications. Some examples of hardware disruption include extremely low production of neurotransmitters and extremely few neurotransmitter receivers.
>IRS already audits at least 10% of the returns. They should have the entire tax system implemented as a software

The audits are accomplished by a human re-doing the return with the submitted information. (As no surprise, the low-complexity returns are often chosen)
I took it to mean Alex Jones, since I have no idea who those people are and the links you give make no mention of a Twitter/X connection, much less a high-level connection like Jones has.

While with Alex Jones we have lawsuits which fit the description of "who abuse the bereaved parents of murdered children", like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones#Pozner_and_De_La_Ro...

> On April 16, 2018 Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, parents of victim Noah Pozner, filed a defamation suit against Jones, Infowars and Free Speech Systems in Travis County, Texas.[254] Pozner, who has been forced to move several times to avoid harassment and death threats, was accused by Jones of being a crisis actor.

as just one example, and we have the high-level Twitter connection on the same Wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones#Social_media_restri...

> In November 2022, Musk referred to Jones as a person who "would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame" and said Jones would not be unbanned.[119] He changed his position on December 10, 2023 when he reinstated Jones's account.
Boeing is in its position only because of a close relationship with government. They didn't get rich because of their brains. They will do anything for government to maintain the current benefits.
Yes. You have TLS, HTTP, HTML and javascript as an starter. Then you have CSS and video decoding and if you want/need an plugin from a foreign developer for EME(encrypted audio and video). Everyone of them also have different versions and/or features that you need to implement. Game engines on the other hand have an base you can build upon (DirectX, Metal, Vulkan, OpenGL) and that abstract things away.
I like it, but I'd probably put that on 443 with TLS. The threat model and attacks developed since web 1.0 have increased in complexity and sophistication and better to be safe than sorry.
Sure - not everything that looks random is random. How about Stephan Wolfram's finite automata "Rule 30" for another example.

But anyways, neurons don't even APPEAR to be acting randomly - they appear to obeying the laws of chemistry, and behaving in meticulously studied and well understood ways.
LGB describe sexual attraction. T describe gender identity. They likely stem from very different causes/genetics.

What Lennart found is that pid 1 is the only process in the whole userland that can ensure a process is terminated without risk of race conditions. Hence, all the process management stuff HAS to be in pid 1 in order to provide consistency guarantees. Hence, systemd.
After seeng your comment, I just went ahead and watched the doc, and I frankly I find myself in a state of rage right now. From my limited understanding, I had this impression this was an engineering failure. And you know, when you have a complicated machine, sometimes shit happens.

But it wasn't that at all. Boeing knew clearly what the dangers of MCAS system were, they went to great lengths to completely hide the presence of the system from the world before delivery of the planes. Within days of the first crash, they knew it was MCAS, and kept trying to blame uneducated "foreign" pilots, kept trying to go on and tell the world again and again it was safe to fly, until that second crash happened. I understand greed, we all have that, but I don't understand how a company-wide culture can get so toxic, how utterly devoid of humanity do you have to be that your first concern after that crash and knowing there might be more deaths coming, is keeping wall street happy.

And what the hell FAA? 1) they didn't regulate properly before the plane was delivered, 2) After first crash they knew how dangerous the plane is, but didn't ground it (TAMARA report), 3) After second crash, you had the transportation secratary basically saying 737 Max was "innocent untill proven guilty" so let it fly before China forced its hand, 4) No criminal proescution in the end for those fanatic executives, just a cash fine.

And today this happens.

So, building normal small websites like we've always done? I'm honestly struggling to see what's going on here other than a couple of devs blowing off political steam. The Kitten project [0] looks cool, but it's basically any small client-side stack unless I'm missing a really crucial piece.

You're right, I'm not into optimizing things with assembly.
I just have old fond memories of cool demos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJGGAJIla3Y and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjKkUTlhIek which would be fun to make and find inspirations for. I also like Winamp visualizations and resources to learn more about the math part for generating art that works well with music. I'll take a look at the Panda3D docs if it's something for me, thanks.
wirth has published his project under an open-source license, guaranteeing everyone everywhere the freedom to study, copy, modify, and redistribute it forever

you're suggesting offering his heirs the opportunity to revoke that license

how can you possibly think this is a good idea? if it became a widespread practice, it would result in a million lawsuits like the sco lawsuit, utterly destroying free software. is that what you want?

It’s the same with canadian and asian airlines. Is it not the case in the US?

I just assumed all airlines did it.
Yeah but if you don't call it a tech business, you cannot attract VC funding nor handwave away massive losses as the cost of growth.
Consumer Reports Says These Are the Best Hybrid Cars for Less Than $35K in 2024
> run the most optimal and efficient way

Why does that matter? No government agency on the planet is run in the most optimal and efficient way; nor businesses or even households. What actually matters is the trend and how it's current efficacy compares to its past.
If Boeing is necessary for national defence and no longer knows how to build aircraft, drastic action is needed by the US government on a very short timeframe to get their shit together. War is a thing.

In the meantime it's hard to disagree with the sentiment elsewhere in this thread that flying with airbus seems a better idea.

Another victim of the sort of epistemic closure which is peculiar to our times: Search engines are not optimized to give you the truth, they are optimized to give you what you are looking for.

Which means that if you are looking for reasons to be pessimistic, you can find endless websites which will tell you why you should be pessimistic. And vice versa, of course.

Things are rarely as good as they seem, but they are rarely as bad as they seem either.

Oh, it's just chromium with I'm guessing some questionable PGO choices and similar.

I can't speak for blink/chromium, but as I spent most of a decade working on webkit and JSC, there are lots of trade offs for performance that can heavily benefit benchmarks without benefitting real web content.

* First off PGO. You have to be very careful when you do profile guided optimization as you _could_ simply do nothing but do the profiling passes on benchmarks, but if you aren't testing actual web content you can pessimize actual page load performance (speedometer tries to be better at general browser perf than older benchmarks but you easily fall into a trap equivalent to making your browser the fastest at loading gmail but slower at yahoo mail :D)

* A lot of modern browser performance comes as a result of caching policy, not in the download sense, but internal data structures. For example many years ago when I implemented bytecode caching in JSC (literally JS string source->bytecode) which saves you parsing and codegen time, but uses a lot of memory. A lot of the qualification for enabling that was "how much memory should be willing to burn in exchange for this performance", how time sensitive should the cache be, etc. Similarly you can get significant performance wins by making the GC heap large enough that you avoid sweeping during a benchmark.

* Browsers also do a lot of event coalescing to try and minimize unnecessary dispatch costs, relayout, and repainting. You can generally adjust the coalescing policies and you can get good "performance" wins by increasing the coalescing windows, but the result can be perceivable lagginess and similar, but again it will help "performance" as measure by wall clock.

There are many many trade offs beyond just these that impact performance, and those impact perceptual performance, wall time performance, memory usage (people complain about memory usage in modern browsers but you can improve wall time "performance" by increasing that even more), and power (which matters for any mobile device).

It should not be a surprise that you can configure a chromium build (or gecko, or webkit) that can "out perform" the default configuration at some [set of] benchmark[s], but you should ask yourself why in a field as performance sensitive as browser and js engines the developers aren't already doing what you've done, and maybe the result of your changes is actually lower overall performance or otherwise worse user experience.
That's a pretty awful take on engineering culture. I grew up in a city that is one of the most remote in the US and it creates a massive engineering pipeline. It started with civil engineering but moved into ICs, utility power, trains, on and on. Those companies helped build an engineering college which in turn trained engineers.. etc.

None of those companies have had issues getting talent. Not all good engineers want to live in mega urban areas and infact it was quite easy pulling talent away with the promise of a back yard and skiing fifteen minutes away if said talent had kids. Especially when the salary goes 2x as far.
Let me again put a word in for being a cryptographic vulnerability researcher, which will enable you to thumb your nose at academic cryptography jargon all you want!
That's indeed so obvious that in Europe there is a new trend of reverting roundabouts back to standard intersections. Because in reality roundabouts slow everything down to unbearable speed.
EDIT: you make a mistake assuming that just because traffic going through a roundabout doesn't completely stop that it automatically means that the throughput is higher than a stop-and-go traffic through normal intersection. And also assume that traffic going through a roundabout never stops, which is simply not lined up with the observable reality
Short selling could be argued as the literal opposite to investing because you're borrowing stock, immediately selling and hoping it goes down in value so you can buy it back cheaper. You're not actually investing in anything.

Maybe you're getting confused with normal trades where you hold onto your stock and hope it goes up in value (like with any other investment)?
Making Hacking Accessible
Guessing you're quoting Laurie Anderson.
I agree. It was hugely overblown. A big part of the LLM and Stable Diffusion software originates from 4chan's /g/ board. When a significant portion of cyber security specialists are furries who even post NSFW furry art on their social media profiles, is it really so surprising? It feels like another puritanical crusade and outrage culture at play.
