1. You won't get as good and clear view from the stands, and the betting is going on throughout the race, not just at the end where you might have a clear-ish view. You could sit in the stands and point your phone at the big screen TVs showing the race to the crowd, but that stream is delayed somewhat anyway, losing you some advantage.

Because we don't actually believe in holding rich people accountable in America. Wage theft is worse than retail theft, private equity and drug company CEOs kill more people than gang violence. We need to take money/power from rich people much more aggressively.

Also while I have some reservations about the expectation of rape as something we joke about, I do love Office Space.

If there's serious work that can't be effectively done any other way then complex and esoteric cooling setups to overcome those challenges are fine to design and use.

Not sure what needs 1600 cores in one 'chip' but it's probably fairly impressive.
Holy cow thats both extremely inaccurate and messed up. This sort of reductive economic realism is why people like you fail to understand sufficiently complex topics, like ecology, society, basically anything that isn't currently effectively quantified by the 'market.' You treating an 'economic' cost like that, as if its some cosmic truth whose validity comes from beyond humans, is just as nuts as any religious cultist.
Ok, we've replaced China with some Chinese researchers in the title above.
It depends - I mostly agree with that blog post.

If a leader doesn't understand the underlying role (at least somewhat) - they can't reason about it. The best people managers I had were good at that skill and took it seriously, but also had a technical understanding of the role.

I think it's relatively common for bad people to get hired to these management roles because the skill can be harder to evaluate than straight engineering. Hire enough of this kind of person and your company dies. It's also why managers get a bad reputation generally - good managers/team leads are excellent, bad ones are neutral at best.
A person who is alert about racial discrimination can still not support transathletes. That's a big discussion topic and many people have differing opinions.

The post above clearly states that anti-woke is being used as a cover for racism. Supporting controlled migration is no racism (by itself, to be clear). Probably we have very different opinions about migration but none of us need to be racist. Racist people are more likely to want to restrict migration but of course not all people who do so are racist.

It seems like the woke movement became something like Antifa, an imaginary enemy that supports everything that one doesn't.

Being alert to racial prejudice and discrimination doesn't mean you do or don't care about the European culture. It tells nothing about it. Like being a feminist also doesn't.

I wonder the same thing.

Apple's MO is to make a premium version of a product and sell a huge quantity of them, and ideally it's a new product category.

Right now there IS a category of vehicle that we don't have in the USA, the cheap small electric cars that have taken over in China.

I could see semi-plausible arguments for mass adoption of those in the USA, as secondary cars for short errands and beginner drivers, and if they were cheap.

But Apple's move is to sell the nicest, most expensive version of a product. It's sort of what their position in the market demands. I don't see any way to put those requirements together in a vehicle, especially considering how we can't import cars from China.
Wow! I just realized I trust HN comments way too much because I had to read the whole comment to realize it's spam.
No, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.
There does seem to be an unusual number of nerdy/engineer types that also unicycle!

I've done two organized long distance unicycling trips before: Vietnam, with ~20 riders, and Kenya to Tanzania with ~10 unicyclists (and a few bikers filling in the slots). There were a lot of programmers, and also a few people that collected other "body as puzzle" skills--juggling, circus arts, etc.

I think the commonality is more that the kind of brain that can push past the challenge of learning to unicycle is the kind of brain that can learn a lot of technical computer skills by applying the same tenacity.

My own history with unicycling is pretty happenstance. When I was 14 I said I wanted one for a birthday present, because I liked the challenge of riding a bike around with no hands.

And I got one! So I learned to ride it on the street, but skill-wise I basically got a free mount and stopped.

Much later, in my 20s, a friend pasted a unicycling video and said he wanted to try it (think "skate video", but unicycling). I said I actually had one in a closet, so we pulled it out and just kept at it after that. After a few weeks we were out trying a flat trail.

I'm 43 now, and my riding comes and goes as I remind myself it's an enjoyable way to get some exercise. I'm also a B- tier rider, if that.

This is my favorite general unicycling video with one of the pioneers, Kris Holm. This really gets into the "but why?" part of it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nPc2phfMLU
This case is available from Framework directly for $39: https://frame.work/products/cooler-master-mainboard-case-and...

Q: the pictures of this case on the CoolerMaster site looks like there's a USB-C trigger to a Coaxial power connector, then another connector to the mainboard itself. Would this case work with a 20v coaxial power supply?

Q: What voltage/wattage does the Framework SFF computer need to power up?

A lot of the USB-PD power supplies only give watts, not the voltage provided. Your 60w power supply is probably either 12v/5A or 20v/3A, but the page itself doesn't say: https://frame.work/products/power-adapter

I have some 15w USB-C 5v/3A power supplies (that won't charge my Sony camera), a USB-PD battery that supposedly puts out 12v on the one USB-C port, and an Apple 30w USB-C ac adapter. My 2016 macbook charges on 5v, which is convenient. Framework forum posts indicate the laptops will charge on 5v 12v and 20v, but there was a problem with 15v.

I did consider Avo! I even went as far as to implement a version using Avo since it has a nice dot product example I could use as a starting point. But ultimately, for as small as these functions are, I felt that Avo was an unnecessary extra layer to grok. Additionally, it's x86-only, and I knew in advance I'd want to implement an ARM version as well since we also do some embeddings stuff locally.

If I were to ever take this further and add loop unrolling or something, I'd absolutely reach for Avo

Scraping 250k+ vehicles daily – Cardog
Hi HN,

I'm excited to share Cardog, a platform I've built from the ground up, aimed at simplifying the car searching process. Every day, Cardog scrapes over 250,000 vehicles, consolidating a vast amount of information to make finding the right car easier than ever.

*What Cardog Offers*:
- Aggregates data from thousands of sources daily.
- Provides comprehensive search filters to narrow down options based on various criteria.
- Designed to offer a streamlined, user-friendly experience.

*My Journey*: As a developer and car enthusiast, I noticed the challenges in the online car search process and decided to tackle them head-on. Cardog is the direct result of this. My goal is to make finding a car online as easy as ordering lunch.

*Future Features Discussion*:
I'm exploring the idea of scraping car reviews from various publications, blogs, and YouTube videos to create a comprehensive overview of pros and cons for each vehicle. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this:

- How valuable would you find a feature that compiles reviews and ratings for each car model?
- Are there specific sources of reviews or types of information you trust more when researching cars?
- What other features or data points would you like to see integrated into an online car search platform?

Your insights and suggestions would be incredibly helpful in shaping the future of Cardog.

If you could check out Cardog and let me know what you think it would really mean a lot, any feedback would be immensely helpful.
I was excited to test it on my pixel 7 just to find out it's only available on Pixel 8. Why?....

I see Nix as a powerful way to write config files. It is purely functional, so the only thing it does is create a build recipe. That build recipe is then run by other Nix tooling.

A .nix file is either a config file itself or a function that returns a config file or a function. By passing in enough parameters, you get the configuration. I've not seen as clean a way of doing this anywhere else. Guix uses Guile which is a full programming language and can probably have side effects. They use something called G-Expressions which is not quite clear to me.

I don't know. The screenshot that they use to showcase it makes me feel the opposite - it took a perfectly clear and concise question and dressed it up in a lot of unnecessary verbiage that the person on the other end will now have to unpack to get to the gist of it.

Or they could use an LLM to translate it back to clear and concise, I suppose. But then what is it even for?

To add to it, they should put a limit on Lumens on Headlight something like not to exceed 2000 lumens, Also its temperature should be 3000k range like old cars but new ones are like 8000k. yesterday night - saw a light that must be atleast 20000 lumens its like watching sun, cant see anything for a few seconds.

OK, the glass may or may not be smaller on the windshield and rear (I haven't measured, and yeah, a greater slant could be the mechanism, not less glass) but the viewable area is smaller.

Side windows are 100% for-sure smaller, because all the structures around them have gotten much thicker.
Yes. As a consumer, I try to avoid "free" services and products offered by commercial entities. They almost never are. I very much prefer to pay for things.

When I learn something is very cheap or free, my first though is definitely not "what an occasion!", my first thought is to look for the fine print and start from the position of distrust.

"You will not get what you haven't paid for."

Paying for things does not guarantee good service or product, but buying things for cheap or getting them for free (from commercial entities) pretty much ensures you get crap and/or strings attached.

I can understand people who have no money trying to get by paying as little as possible for things. And I do not criticise.

It is totally what they are doing. The guts are probably going to be an automotive hardened version of an iphone / ipad and will have a bunch of connections to get sensors wired to it. Their competition for this product is Bosch.
I'm surprised it only took them a year. Would you care to share more about your experience on filing FOIA? The circles I run in seem to view it as a clunky, bloated process, but I feel like it has gotten better than when it was introduced. I have zero first-hand experience, though.

>Swapping out for a used display is still possible with a screen. Backlights can also be repaired on a lot of screens. Neither of those repairs would have been impossible with a screen.

This is true. I agree with this part but would note that the supply chain for replacement screens would be constrained by original production volume and would force most owners to find used screens of questionable quality to avoid paying dealership rates for new screens. Like most vehicle models in a manufacturer's product line, these screens would likely only fit in a single model. I think it unlikely that manufacturers will standardize these units across their product lines so that an owner could simply find a used screen or a new screen from a different model produced by that same manufacturer.

There are probably supply issues here that end up rendering a perfectly good, well-maintained vehicle undriveable when specific components fail.

Then, as you mention, the lock-down of the devices creates another problem when the owner isn't able to access or modify parameters stored in a used screen to update those parameters to fit the vehicle that they own.

It's all a complex set of issues.

I am old. I have been doing all or part of my vehicle maintenance since I bought my first truck in 1976. A lot has changed. Most of those changes are improvements. It is so much easier to identify failed or failing components or sensors today than it ever has been. Vehicles today, like those produced 100 years ago, are durable products with tremendous opportunities to upgrade functionality, capabilities. If we allow manufacturers to turn vehicles into products that fail, with no manufacturer accountability, after only 10 years, requiring replacement of most parts critical to safely operating the vehicle then we have only created another waste stream.

I imagined it to be similar to how some "blue collar" professions attract mostly men who openly discuss women in sexual ways with each other while at work and will cat-call a pretty woman walking by.

Likewise, a group of business men in suites are less likely to engage in this behavior. It's impossible for the unicyclist to measure people's class standing but you can get a lot of context clues by their appearance and behavior. Maybe it includes some bias, but for the purpose of logging all interesting responses I thought it was approximate enough.

Facebook Live used to have a global view, where you could drag around on a Google-earth-style map, and each dot would be a live stream.

It was amazing. Unfortunately there were crimes committed on stream, notably a mass shooting in New Zealand. They shut down the map view soon after that.

A news broadcast would be feasible, because presumably the streamers would be verified reporters.

Really cool idea. I love it.
I've actually been making exactly what you describe as a side-project - and am very close to launch-ready. I was looking for the same thing and decided it would be fun to build it myself. It's good to hear (at least one) other persons might be interested in such an app.
