You have a very specific idea of what an "interpreter" is that I don't think matches the standard usage. The debate would be better served if we spoke in more concrete terms such as local/global scope, parser, analyser, AST or runtime library.
vehicular manslaughter is already a crime, and these trucks have been regulated INTO existence, not out of consumer desire and a lack of regulation. Consumers preferred small trucks until they disappeared due to CAFE standards.

If you want the government to intervene, their first step should be to remove the regulations that encourage this growth in vehicle size to begin with, rather than going after consumers who have very little choice in trucks
Not sure if you call this "delivering"

1.) The heavy market losses in 2024 come hot on the heels of a bruising run last year, when the CSI 300 index, comprising 300 major stocks listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, fell more than 11%. By contrast, the United States’ benchmark S&P 500 index climbed 24% in 2023, while Europe’s grew almost 13%. Japan’s Nikkei 225 soared 28% last year and is still going strong, notching gains of nearly 10% so far this month. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/22/business/china-stock-market-f...

2.) China suffers from deflation, while the rest of the world combats inflation. Not only does deflation signal a stagnating economy, it can lead to high unemployment, unaffordable debt repayment, and dismal outcomes for businesses. In the worst cases, deflation can lead an economy into a recession, or even a depression. https://www.wsj.com/world/china/deflation-worries-deepen-in-...

It's not clear to me how you would have a company of this size without a CTO or CFO. I'm interested in why your expectation is that the roles themselves would be eliminated, versus bringing in people who might perform better?
It's government regulations that made trucks get this big, most people simply buy what is available in the form factor they like. Trucks are the most popular form factor in the United States (with pickups a close second)[1], and the manufacturers keep making the cars bigger because of the poorly written CAFE laws[2]. I, and I suspect most Americans with pickups, would prefer to purchase one the size of a '90s F-150 as compared to the monsters of today but manufacturers can't or won't sell me one. Making up some macho strawman to attack actually obfuscates the problem and makes discussing solutions more difficult.

Trucks have a 25% import tax in the US and cars don't since the 1960. US domestic vehicle manufacturers have spent many decades to convince people to buy trucks and SUVs because of this fact. Google "chicken tax". Large station wagons used to be quite popular in the 1960's

TikTok API: How to Post and Get Analytics Using the TikTok API
This video is mentioned multiple times in this thread and it's got to be the most ridiculous take for what these things are.

These were expensive and difficult to cast. They are made of metal which is very expensive at the time. There's no reason knitting would require a complex metal cast object of this kind when a wooden jig would be far easier and cheaper to produce.
First, things that are obvious aren't always correct. It's better to rely on actual data than intuition alone. Second, the study not only gives the qualitative result that higher hoods are more dangerous, but also begins to quantify the effect, and can give an idea of the specific height at which the pedestrian danger begins to spike.
Not sure. But I'm guessing that the finder patters represent a pattern that is not possible in the data encoding. That is, according the the encoding scheme you couldn't have data that, just by chance looked like a finder pattern.

Also: A more fun and technical sounding term for "finder pattern" is "Fiducial" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiducial_marker

> I wish I could get a 4K screen, an eInk screen, a touchscreen, a Dvorak keyboard, a OLED keyboard, an IMU/GPS/barometer expansion module, a pico projector expansion module, a software-defined-radio expansion module, a larger aperture webcam module, an IR webcam module, a depth camera webcam module, an Arduino expansion module, an IR emitter expansion module that controls TVs, etc etc etc.

> But nobody seems interested in making this stuff. I guess the community that uses Framework laptops isn't really capable of that level of hardware engineering (me included) and the companies in China doing hardware haven't caught onto making stuff for Framework.

I relate to your sentiment of wanting tons of modules, but I'm going to disagree on the skills of the community.

For some of these options (4k/eink screens for eg), you need such a panel to be available (panelook to search -> aliexpress/ebay to buy). SDRs, IMUs & sensors could be doable relatively "easily" if they interface via USB/PCIE.

There are lots of hardware tinkerers in youtube, hackaday and of course even here on HN. I'm a mechanical engineer with some electrical/electronics knowledge, and I could likely make a half-decent module if I had the time/money/reason/ethusiasm for it. There's a guy who's turned an iPad screen into the FW13 display (on the framework community). There are probably dozens of people who may read this comment who are far more skilled than I am.

If you are very keen to do this yourself, you might want to start with learning 3d modelling and building up from that (from a mechanical side). 3d printing metals with something like SLS is commercially (relatively) easy and (imo) accessible compared to say 10-20 years back.
Seriously, their first example seems useless to most people. Naming a tab group??? That doesn't take any time, little thought, and who does that regularly?

Right, but I don't need to be 'very concerned'; the airline industry is very effective at preventing it.

If I was going to be 'very concerned' about potential risks without considering mitigation, there's fuel tanks exploding, running out of fuel, drunk pilots, hitting mountains, runway collisions, etc. etc. Pieces of FOD don't seem to rate ...

My point is about risk, of course. FOD is not an effective risk to me.
I'm not making the accusations against Boeing, so I'm not the one who needs to provide evidence. I've also also given clear points on why I assume the comment to be fake and I did so with my known username attached - so no, it's not just a cheap shot :-)

Also note that I never claimed that the comment is wrong (I have no private knowledge about Boeings processes), just that the comment could easily be fake.
I've used it a bit, didn't help me much more than "go vet" did. Also can't find code which is masked behind interfaces, unless I'm mistaken, which could amount of quite a lot of dead code.

Is this going to become a 'thing' in which every airplane malfunction becomes a major news event.
I'll take your question seriously. Why do people do studies like this when the answer seems obvious?

(1) It quantifies the seriousness of the problem. Does it increase the chance of death or significant injury by 1%, 10%, 50%? Without reading the article, what is the "obvious" answer to that question?

(2) People believe many "obvious" things that aren't true. They are trivial to find simply by finding two groups with opposite beliefs on a subject and both think their conclusions are obvious. Eg, did the COVID-19 vaccines reduce or increase death rates? It seems obvious to me that it was a great benefit, but there are people going on TV claiming the vaccines killed millions of people.

(3) Even in areas that aren't contentious, there are many widely believed but untested assumptions. If someone didn't spend the time and effort to validate those things, we might never find what is really true. 50 years ago it was unquestioned that stress is what causes ulcers. Almost nobody questioned that except for the one guy who did the experiment that proved it was bacterial in origin. Had his result been negative, you'd be here to mock him.

These ideas are some of the founding principles of "local-first software": https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/

As I like to put it - Local-first is the real serverless. Your user's device is the real edge.

I think the future of the web needs to be that the server is optional, we need our data (albeit personal or our companies) to be on our own devices.

We are all carrying around these massively powerful devices in our pockets, let use that capability rather than offload everything to the cloud.

One of the things I find most exciting about local-first (and I'm very fortunate enough to be working on it full time), is the sync tech thats being developed for it. 2024 is I think going to be the year local-first goes mainstream.
I sourced the NIH. I'm not familiar with the infinite number of journals and their associated possible biases.

I will now question the NIH. Thanks for telling me about the NIH.
There's a saying by Robert Hanlon, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Depending on the nature of the data, you can design the app to have a write only journal with independent entries, that are always possible to merge in a consistent way at a later time.

This obviously works better for very simple things like a "play history" and not for complex things like collaborative document writing.

There is something different that happens in a vertically integrated engineering firms. In the event of a critical defect - very senior engineers will find out the specific people who caused the defect, and vet that the appropriate corrective actions have taken place. Likewise, if you do your job well on sub-assembly 529ca - you have the opportunity to be noticed and move up to bigger projects without changing firms. These records are persistent in the company, and it can be highly embarrassing and impactful to have caused the issue many years later.

When you've outsourced the supply chain, personal responsibility is washed in a sea of lawyers, managers, buyers, and other personnel - the incentive to do your job to the 80-90% of completion and no more is extremely strong as it makes everything look better over the next 2-3 years.
You need a study because otherwise people keep posting links to youtube videos claiming that hood heights aren't that dangerous and it's actually less lethal because pedestrians are less likely to hit the windshield with their head.

I just went through a call with my credit card company. 4 transfers later the only verification I've been asked is the last 4 of my social, my name, and when I was at the "highest level" of security they took the amazing step to... call me back. All because my credit card, which is travel focused, got flagged because I bought a <$300 plane ticket... They claimed I got an email and text message, which I got neither (I'm sure the email got filtered and same with the text message. Thanks Google. I'm glad you filtered those but not the emails addressed to someone else, "from" a hashed domain, and where the header is passed through 5 relay services -- including several .edus. -____-)

You are not alone. It is an __absolute joke__ that my github account is more secure than any banking service I use. How is it that the only 2FA they offer is text message? A method that's been known to be terrible for over a decade now. Where are my OTPs? They give me apps on my phone, why not push verification there? (Vanguard recently started doing this) Why can't I set up hardware keys or public private keypairs? Sure, I get that you still got to service grandma and grandpa, but at least give me something. In today's day and age the two most important services I have are email and banking. The former is impossible to resolve when shit hits the fan and the latter doesn't even implement basic security.

Something is very wrong, and I'm not sure it is even about money (unless short term vs long term). Dinky little websites implement better security than most baking services. Clearly the banks could reduce their spending on fraud detection and resolution if they added some basic security.

I will note that I had a Capital One account that used the card as a 2FA into the phone app. Was neat, other than Capital One was a whole shitshow on its own.

I'm also very surprised at how much spam gets through services like Gmail and Twitter which could be easily detected by Naive Bayes filters. Something is very wrong.
Arguably, viruses exist by shedding as much complexity as possible. Trim their genome to the absolute minimum which can still propagate.

A lot of folks in this thread are latching on to this theory and making speculations to support it.
Airlines are contributary to this though.

Boeing was working on a "clean redesign" new airliner to replace the 737. They shopped it around and nobody wanted it. They did not want to train mechanics and pilots on a new type. They wanted a "better 737." Then Airbus came out with the A320neo and that also pushed Boeing towards another incremental rework of the 737 since a brand new airliner takes 10 years to get designed, built, and certified.
It's not just naming, but grouping as well. If you have 200 tabs and don't want to spend too much time on it, this can be very helpful.

God, this is pretty much my mother.

She couldn’t care any less about “ruggedness” or that “tough guy” image. Her only argument ever is “safety.”

I am not in it to change her mind. But whenever she brings this topic up and I show her the actual safety ratings for different vehicles, it’s almost as if her brain shuts down. She would say something along the lines “uh oh idk, maybe, who knows, it doesn’t feel as safe,” and the whole thing gets forgotten. Right until she decides to bring it up again from scratch at some point later, as if our previous conversations about it never happened.

Lowkey, I think it would be an interesting idea to mandate displaying brightly colored safety ratings for every car on display at a dealership. No need to overcomplicate it by showing the entire stat sheet with a bajillion different numbers. Just one giant number for the overall rating, and about 4-5 subcategory numbers (e.g., driver safety score, passenger safety score, etc.). I think 1-2 of those metrics should be “the safety sub-category on which our car scored the worst.”

My only worry about this is that the metrics themselves become the target goal, leading to either car manufacturers influencing safety rating boards or them maliciously complying by gaming the metrics just for those measured categories at the expense of everything else. Though the latter isn’t as much of a concern, given that it is pretty difficult to accomplish, and it would still have a large negative effect on the overall score.

> if an operation has been synchronized across all endpoints, no new operations will occur concurrently with it, allowing it to be safely removed from the history.

This assumes that the set of endpoints (really, nodes) is both well-known by all other nodes in the network, and stable over time (meaning new nodes will never be added).

Even if this assumption can be made safely (which is not a given) the GC process described here is still an optimization, which would be subverted when even a single node in the network became slow or broken.

It's also basically orthogonal to the concept of "tombstones", which are still required if you want to delete anything from the data structure.
