In a way this is a blessing in disguise, because the moment a large car company thinks they can do software well, they'll want that team to be a profit center not a cost center, which means they'll start charging for subscriptions.

There's an argument that we're at Peak Mediocrity for car systems that one can own (at least at the levels that we think we own our cars now).
Agreed. I think the other commenter saying Netflix won the war is not talking to any normal folk. Netflix feels a lot like Facebook does. Sure, it was amazing in the beginning. But now we mostly have it because we had it before. I'm always surprised when people can't seem to acknowledge that consumer perception matters more than the actual business of it all. Consumers feel that Netflix is not a great deal anymore.
Ahh, the 2024 equivalent of having thousands of bookmarks, 99% of which will never see the light of day again.
A system that does not put people in prison without guilty evidence? Because that was what happened here in all cases. Not faked evidence, worst, lack of evidence...
I ponder which kind of malaise would push one to dismiss ELF as "ultra complex" and at the same time propose pervasive IPC through the entire system including Vulkan calls through IPC.
That’s a perfectly fair answer. My problem is that the phone telemetry is so extensive I think it just doesn’t matter at this point. Since apparently no major company discloses its telemetry as much as it should I simply don’t know how wrong I am
All correct and yet, what should happen? Israel stops their campaign. And then?

Spend tons of money on iron dome to shoot down the rockets and hope that Hamas won't manage to conduct another massacre, even if "only" half the scope of October 7?

This mess features not one but two parties who currently reject the concept of a cease fire.
If you want to feel better about British willingness to butcher French too (ignoring the huge chunk of older loanwords from French - e.g. most -ion words and -ment words, maby other large groups), look up the English village of Beaulieu (named by French monks, so it's the French "beau lieu"), and how the English pronounce it.

It was maddening to me when visiting the place.

But as Alexandre Dumas reputedly said, English is just badly pronounced French (ok, so that is an exaggeration; and I cant be bothered to check if that statement is apocryphal or not)
I am exploring an executable file format of my own (excrutiatingly simple, basically userland syscalls) which is only PIE, and until now, the main real "issue" (not really) is actually the lack of support from compilers for static relative global data init (handled by ELF... which is not there anymore).

About the shared libs, well, they are the utility shared libs, and the system interface shared libs. With a mostly statically linked elf/linux distro, all the utility libs would be statically linked, and the system interface shared libs would be statically linked if they have an IPC/shared-mem interface. In the end, only the GPU driver is an issue, namely would stay a shared libs.
Tesla has done a fantastic job of updating the software, adding useful features. They still do (some basic) updates of the cars of 10 years ago. They managed to keep the UI fairly fast and responsive on old hardware, even as they have update the hardware for the console cpu etc many times. This is in contract to VW and many other legacy auto companies, that have struggled with software.

I have worried about an upgrade killing my system or bricking the car but more than 10 years late it's good.
People do think differently, so they should be allowed to. The problem of deciphering your colleagues thoughts should be solved by abstractions and modules.

The goal of programming on Lisp is to define a new vocabulary to further build on. If you don't like the vocabulary defined by your colleague, you can easily use (or define) a different one at the same level of abstraction.

Take the last link, for example, United Airlines scores low in customer satisfaction yet people still fly with them. Facebook might be hated yet people still use it.

Most people either too lazy or too cheap to boycott businesses they don’t like. And that’s assuming they even have a choice, because often there really isn’t much of an alternative to choose from.
Considering this is a post by and for Free Software enthusiasts, I don't think they would.
No need for any blockchains here, this essentially describes an SDMS (scientific data management system). Which do exist, but are not very common outside of larger companies. And the more common Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELN) are in most cases only connected to the original data in a rather haphazard way, if at all.

You need to make the entire process digital, from measuring the data to tranferring and storing it and then linking it in your ELN or any other place you make use of it. That's a process that is only just beginning in many cases, if at all.
I'm in Switzerland, which has (unfortunately, IMHO) ordered a batch of F-35s. We have just been advised to not fly them near thunderstorms, with no fix until at least 2027. We have a lot of mountains. We have a lot if thunderstorms.

And the US had threatened military force and sanctions should ICC ever decide to go after American. So what's your point?
The Ukraine war shows that 4th generation fighters are obsolete and not suited for front-line combat. Both sides have advanced air defenses which makes it too risky to attack. Air power hasn't had much effect even though Russia has superior air force.

Stealth fighter would be needed to hunt the air defenses. Then the non-stealth fighters could operate safely. Russian has handful of Su-57, Ukraine won't get F-35, neither side does SEAD like the US, and the air will stay stalemated.

Also, the Eagle (Boeing), Falcon (Lockheed Martin), and Super Hornet (Boeing) are firmly militarily industrial complex. F-16 and F-18 are a little less expensive and F-15EX is more expensive than F-35. The US is buying more old fighters because F-35 is too popular.
It's a direct evolution of the search paradigm. You go from entering a few keywords roughly related to what you want and then clicking on ads to continue the search, to having a short conversation with the AI honing in precisely what you need and then having the AI complete the transaction or even generate the content for you, optionally with a transaction attached.

The direct interactions with AI increase the fidelity of the customer model of you that Google has and uses to optimize sales to you for it's customers.

Even further, the most common source of inspiration for purchases is the behavior of other people. If the AI can sufficiently emulate humans and ingratiate itself enough to you then it can directly influence your behavior just by suggesting that it would make certain decisions in your place or that others have already.

This is actually not far removed from the existing situation, just the next level of technological capability.

By actually generating responses for you, it starts training you to allow it to make decisions on your behalf. This may readily extend into purchase decisions.

I think the premise of "the law of retaliation is a moral dead end" is just a high minded pathway to endless violence and anarchy.
It sounds soapbox-y, but this is what made me finally pause my Prime membership. I plan on unpausing it if I need free shipping for a bunch of purchases, but my Amazon spending has cratered in past couple years anyway due to a growing mistrust of its products (e.g. getting counterfeits, etc). Though, it also turns out you still get free shipping on most things without having Prime anyway. :shrug:
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely disappointed that Netflix went out of their way to disable backwards compatibility for their iOS app. They think they won't get an ROI. I hope they'll realize their mistake soon.

Congrats OP! I'm trying to choose my words carefully, because I don't want to give the wrong impression:

1. I think it's great that OP got the visa, and it's clear (at least to me) that we should be attracting entrepreneurial types like OP to start businesses in the US. I also understand that our immigration system is hopelessly broken, and oftentimes the best one can hope to do is "hack" the system. So I commend you for not just hacking the system, but posting this to Hacker News!

2. It seems pretty apparent that while OP may be able to "check some of these boxes", he, at least to me, doesn't meet the "Extraordinary Ability" intent of this visa. I worry that with more spotlight on these types of applications that various political movements would try to tighten the loopholes for this visa.

To expand on number 2, raising 98K from family, friends and seed investors really does not strike me as a "nationally or internationally recognized award". Again, clearly it is by the letter of the law (at least the rules of the USCIS), but that surprised me as a layperson. The section on "Being employed in a ‘critical capacity’ at an organization with a distinguished reputation" seemed even more dubious. Path, OP's startup that is nothing more than a pitch deck and 100k in funding, is "an organization with a distinguished reputation"???

Again, to be 100% clear, I don't fault OP at all for going this route, and on the contrary, I commend him for "playing the game" correctly. I just worry about the downstream consequences of "pulling back the curtain" and showing how the game works to a larger audience.
I don't know if I'd call working in a huge company "dull" -- to me, that depends more on the work I'm doing than the nature of the company I'm doing it for.

However, working in a huge company does bring all sorts of things, including many you list, that I dislike. As a result, I very strongly prefer working for smaller outfits.

But everything's a tradeoff. There are different upsides and downsides to huge companies, tiny companies, and every size in between. the trick is to be clear with yourself about what tradeoffs are best for you.

> and they show how little work they do as a % of all the work. Then as a % if we assumed 90% of all work (keeping all NSF work important) wasn't important.

Great, you're simply saying that pretty much all of science has the same importance as 10% of all other work being done. And you consider budget as a measure of output.

All that in the context of a conversation about technological breakthroughs, mind you.

By that metric, someone like Richard Feynman has produced less important work than your average run-of-the-mill engineer with a slightly higher salary.

Did you time-travel here from the USSR? The leadership there had similar ideas back in the day.

Israel must face the reality that is an apartheid state that exists on occupied land. There is no solution until that happens. Just like apartheid South Africa was dismantled, Israel has to face the same fate or forever be locked into warfare and oppressing Palestinians.
All the open/pro-privacy/pro-consumer cell phones I've seen (pinephone, Fairphone, Librem) never go far enough (non-open cellular modems/wireless chipsets) while also being either insanely priced, unobtainable, barely functional, scammy, broken, or some combination of those things.

I really want a product like that to succeed, but I'm just not seeing anything reasonable being produced.
Plus Netflix will still be accessible for the 180K via Safari on the Vision Pro. Apple has shown onboard Safari being used like this and a streaming tab "placed" into the virtual environment.
Cloud was actually the answer to "how do I give more virtualized compute to people without hiring more expert server and networking admins."

The rest is noise.

Startups aside, most enterprise teams match the following: apps don't need to scale massively (scale up is enough and a surprising number of large, well-knwon services are entirely based on scale-up architectures behind the facade), most don't need dynamic scale, and most aren't even going to be started and stopped dynamically.

But hiring people who can run a network, only to have them sit idle most of the time or - and this is common - doing things and as a result breaking things, and people who can run servers and VMware and so on, and firewall, and WAN connectivity, ...

A lot of these things are, in fact, trivial, but vendors made them stupid and hard and painful to set up and doubly painful to troubleshoot. Cloud exploited that situation.

Things aren't a _lot_ better now but they're somewhat better, and now the economics of cloud are starting to get looked at.

My Japanese teacher said that, for her, the English words “ear” and “year” are indistinguishable.

Sure, but that doesn’t mean people don’t do it all the time.
The Meta Quest 3 (1/7 the cost of AVP) weighs about 18oz, the elite strap which doubles the battery life is about 7oz. I find the weight of the combo to be just fine for hours of use. Without the strap pressure is distributed on your face on an awful way. (You’ll hear two complaints about the elite strap: (a) it’s too expensive, and (b) it has problems like physical breakage, the battery not charging, etc. I can say that it works for me and that third party straps will soon be all over the place.)
Are they represented in any way in the Knesset? Are they treated the same is Jewish Israeli citizens when travelling? What about the Arabs in East Jerusalem? Are non Jewish citizens actually afforded equal protections under the Basic Laws? Does the "Law of Return" apply to non-Jewish Israelis? Economically, how are the Arabs doing compared to the Jews?
In seriousness, are other languages faring any better or differently in all this?
Expert witnesses are witnesses to their expertise, not to the actions of a defendant. No conviction should ever be based on the testimony of an expert witness.

Apparently, based on the viewership numbers.

I don’t watch much TV. Much less Netflix. But I also don’t watch cable news nor live sports; that doesn’t mean they aren’t supremely popular.
Tesla does that but it's not a subscription; it's a one-time fee if you want more acceleration.

If you really want to “get rich quick” you can probably come up to speed on effective real estate investment (aka landlording and leveraging real estate equity to build a portfolio) in a much shorter horizon.

Nobody's saying that alpha doesn't exist.

But before you unleash your automated proprietary model, you should be able to explain why you think you have any edge whatsoever over your far better funded, far more experienced counterparties.

And, no, getting great results from backtesting your model is not evidence of edge in the future against adversaries with access to better data than you have.
I don't think they'll ever sell many of time. It's just not that compelling of a vehicle, the other ev trucks (rivian and f150ev, plus some new ones coming reasonably soon like chevy silverado) look like more practical vehicles, if you actually need one. Tesla has that great drivetrain but when superchargers open up to the others, I really think there's no reason for the ct to exist. I guess it's great that it's a low volume 48v testbed.

That's a straw man for how people use the term "addiction" and I think you probably know it.

The word is used for deleterious behaviors that have become compulsive or the person has otherwise lost the ability to control.

"Deleterious" may depend on the person and their life circumstances. And inasmuch as "lost ability to control" relates to "willpower" -- or shall we say various executive functions -- it may be difficult for someone without those problems or limitations to understand. That doesn't mean it isn't real.

The modern world has become much more complex and the traps for our primate brains have increased. Our understanding of psychology also continues to deepen and better understand the problems.

I believe there's a small but growing market for "dumb" tech. Unfortunately there aren't really many options for cars that I'm aware of. I suspect a quality-but-stupid display company is incubating somewhere, just waiting to nail manufacturing.
It tells me that the involved driver doesn't know how to get the most out of the Cybertruck... probably. A Subaru of any size is a much lighter vehicle that's going to handle completely differently. Getting out of that and into a Cybertruck would be like getting out of a Corolla and into a Suburban. Just completely different vehicles.

That being said, Subaru is renowned for being a highly capable off-roading car. Cybertruck is highly renowned for nothing so far :D

Ask HN: Why are bathtubs in the US undersized for adults?
(most of them, at least)
I think you might believe might makes right more than you realize, because, as I've laid out, it's easier to make a moral case for Israeli sovereignty over Tel Aviv than for American control of Texas --- you advocate against Israel because it seems like a plausible cause, and that plausibility is denominated in international military might. You don't advocate for the return of Texas to the people of Mexico because you viscerally understand it's never going to happen.

That being the case (maybe it isn't!), there are two big problems with your strategy:

1. It isn't possible. They're not going anywhere.

2. It's incoherent. There are very few countries in the world with a morally-hygienic claim to their land. Certainly, with the possible exception of Egypt, none of Israel's neighbors can! They're all of them creations of France and the UK.
