As far as I know Volvo is leader in this technology (yet other manufacturers also provide both smart limit recognition) and it sucks so much it’s laughable (speaking from experience of driving in Europe).

I usually have 3 sources of speed limit in my car right now. Built-in from downloaded maps + GPS, Apple Maps from GPS and online data, and also 3rd party alerter for traffic conditions, speed traps etc - mixture of radio, gps and non-map data sources. It’s not uncommon for two to be different. It’s not uncommon for three to be different; I’ve been pulled over for driving over speed limit even though all 3 sources were in consensus and showed much higher one.

One of the worst things ever happened when I drove Volvo XC60 (2019 model) few years back. I was driving on the side road during maintenance with slightly lowered speed limit and as I was doing so car picked up one of the construction-reserved lane signs with heavy speed limit (like 10% of the one I was driving on). Immediately displayed warning and began to break hard (I wasn’t aware there was default setting to honor perceived speed limit when driving grossly over it) almost causing a collision.

Maybe in California it’d be easier, never been there but I believe roads aren’t so busy as in Europe. Yet over the years I grew very skeptic about this technology and after experiencing it first hand from “leader” I enjoy my current - dumber - car more.
While it sounds nice, gps jitter will cause a lot of issues unless it just defaults to the highest speed in a couple block radius

Surprise phantom braking on the highway, going in a tunnel under a road with 30 mph. This is an EU thing, all cars sold after 2024 must have this
This is one of my favourite posts.
Part of my PhD was based on this post. https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10085826/ (Section 4.1).
I presented this section of my research in a conference and won best paper award as well.

Another post I love is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2908822/speed-up-the-loo... where the guy manages to speed up a function which will run for days to milliseconds.
We need a hacker news meetup in Milwaukee lol
California has them all over the place.
Btw I'm very happy to do a demo over Zoom. Every background is differnt, so I benefit a lot from sharing various aspects of what I know during these calls and thinking how to bake this knowledge into the platform. Reach out: cxielamiko@gmail.com, or preferably t.me/vitalypavlenko
Honest question; is there air traffic control over the Pacific?

I guess this was a China to US flight (can't read TFA), so maybe within land based radars?

I'm no pilot, but I assumed over large open water it's pretty much "designated highways" with designated altitudes.

But sure, if permission is needed I think it's implied in the original post that he got clearance to so. If theres more to "doesn't work like that" I'd be interested.
Kind of religion, just thousand of years later. Modernity runs in circles imo and loves to label old things in modern terms. Mankind cannot continue to sell itself to short term careers. Thankfully farmers (I think) and others that choose to live outside the grind are on the right path. We can pretend in the modern world that we don't need anything with the soul or religion. But in the end we will find it.
I really don't know. It's possible. If there is such a trend, I wouldn't necessarily call it 'rightwards' because there is always a range of different factors and left vs. right is only one.

All I can tell you for sure is that perceptions of trends on HN are usually unreliable. You definitely can't judge it by one thread. The Launch HN posts of startups working in climate tech generally get favorable receptions, for example.
Probably becasue they serve a global market beyon internet trends and have spent decades investing in their IP's, unlike many studios who are one mid release away from shutting down and having their IP hoarded by a business not interested in development.

And it's clearly not a fluke. Splatoon was a huge hit out the gate despite launching on Nintendo's worst system, in 2016. Nintendo truly does house and foster some of the best designers in the industry and its a bit of a shame to chastise them indirectly due to business decisions. A factor I'm sure every creative business can agree is a constant clash.

It's very postmodern. Note how science is sometimes called patriarchal or "white" today in some circles. It's not unique to the Nazis.

Of course, it is true that science is a part of culture and society, and that the world is interpreted though the lens of both. Yes, culture can distort, but it is also a medium of truth. And reason is able to make these determinations in principle.
Is it possible they're just hearing the sound of them (you can often hear the sound they're making a few seconds before it hits where you are - I live in NZ) before us due to their much better hearing?
I remember reading a couple of analyses that suggested they were shifting a lot of the debt out of China, on to international investors, so thay'd be taking the hit. I guess they completed that process.

Edit: should have read the piece - it seems this is exactly what they did - dangled (or at least, failed to deny) the prospect a government bailout, to offload the debt to international speculators.
When I was 18, I was working three pub jobs to pay for rent in Sydney. I studied Art History, which is about as far away from anything Startupy as you can get.

I lived on campus, where a guy I was really close with got a 50k seed investment through an accelerator to start a company. He hired me, who knew nothing but needed no convincing to drop out of school and give it a shot. It died, so I hopped to another accelerator startup (also died), and then to a bank as a Software Engineer. 6 years later I'm a PM at a reputable company.

I feel like - while probably terrible financial decisions - the deadly combination of accelerators and friends with questionable startup ideas has probably been one of the biggest propagators of people into tech.
Alot of cars do have a governor limiting the top speed, 115 and 155 are common. This is mostly because you need to look at every part of the car to know that is could go that fast. Car manufacturers limit it so the tires won't blow out for example.
Spent 7 years there as “CTO”, but we are not friends anymore. Also he made a lot more money than me, but at least it gave me alot of experience and a good kickstart into my career.

The 'exploit' runs under the sysadmin's user. It gets there when the sysadmin inadvertently installs something malicious under their own user, or something they're running is exploited for example.
I have an older Android (Samsung S5) with Air View: you physically hover your finger over the screen and it triggers hover actions like previewing something or opening a magnifier over a website.

Air View is finicky on occasion, but when you are used to it, it's surprisingly intuitive and practical! It wasn't super popular though, and I imagine it could be annoying to users who didn't want it. It appears Samsung only did it for a few models, the S4, Note 3, and S5.

Air View was also coupled with other features (Air Gesture[1]) involving moving your hand over your phone to do things like scrolling or waking the screen.

That phone was pretty interesting, sensor-wise. I kind of miss using it, and I wonder if it would be practical nowadays.

Good thing GPS spoofing is so hard to do (heavy sarcasm)

Also, good thing GPS spoofing doesn’t happen regularly in California (also sarcasm)

Also, good thing that GPS works flawlessly in canyons, underpasses, tunnels, etc… (if it’s not yet obvious, is sarcasm too)

This feels like an “idea man” level concept.
Are there any textbooks you would recommend for learning vector analysis / vector fields before studying EM?
> As a German, I have to fiercely object here (:

As a German, I have to fiercely object to people fiercely objecting here. I would enjoy German highways way more, if there was a sensible speed limit just like there is in the rest of the world. Also, I think the police should start going after people who don't keep safe distances (as a function of the speed they're going) and pressing criminal charges for intimidation.

Well, I assume he asked ATC and all of the usual stuff, but as an unaware passenger all I know is we climbed and then things got smoother. The engines sound super impressive when climbing.
I think the real harm here is that someone like Taylor Swift can have her searches scrubbed. What about Jane next door? She has no such recourse.
I don’t agree with the proposed solution being entertained here, but all of these problems are solved. Because automated tolling systems work this way.

> That said, I feel like I'm no longer interested in computer science and programming as a whole and that really bothers me

It doesn't have to be your lifestyle. It can be "just a job" that you do for money. You don't have to write a single line of code outside of work. You don't have to "care" about technology outside of work. You don't have to enjoy it in order to do it as a job

There are people who get a superiority complex over making this shit into a lifestyle. That's cool, at least for me personally I'd rather spend my weekends playing a sport or something. It's your life

Also there might be issues at your current company as other people here said. But if you're not interested in doing work adjacent stuff for free anymore, that might not necessarily be a bad thing

This would not work well for my car right now - the GPS sometimes decides it's a few blocks to the right on the surface streets instead of on the highway. :')

Anyway, write thoughtful comments, not clickbait, and it will slowly rise.
It’s interesting and kind of sad that the region which was once the frontier of Western society (socially, technologically, etc.) is now often the leader in restricting things. There is a theory that American society needs a frontier and without one, problems arise.

More and more, I’m buying this idea but unfortunately I think we’ll have to wait a few centuries until serious space colonization becomes a viable thing in the way “escaping to the West” was a thing two hundred years ago.

Well disinformation is usually by doing it deliberately, as opposed to just being ignorant.

Having said that, most is not all and the comment in question was purely from being ignorant as opposed to purposefully trying to change people's perceptions whilst knowing the facts.
The amount of concrete needed to build such big homes contributes to carbon emissions, not to mention destruction of nature, and it also costs more to heat and cool.
The former. Something like 75% of men in their 80s probably have some sort of mild prostate cancer. It’s just extremely prevalent but most of the time they are rather non-aggressive so you will die of something else years before you’d even think of worrying about the cancer killing you.
I’ll take those “loons” over any democracy destroying republican since we don’t have a third choice though.
Our Tools Shape Our Thinking Habits (Dijkstra) (2001)
> The only reason why we made the jump from Newton to Einstein through Maxwell's theory is Einstein's intuition of the physics behind electrodynamics

I'm not sure that's true. What kind of model of causality are you using here?

Other people were also on the cusp of doing (most of) what Einstein did. Ultimately, without Einstein most likely progress would have been delayed by a few years, and the laurels would be spread amongst more people. (Eg Lorentz' work was on the way to formulating special relativity.)

So it's hard to say that there was any single 'only reason' for any discovery here.
I have a Jetbrains AI subscription and I use it mostly to write commit messages. It speeds up my work significantly, but I still have to skim over the generated output to make sure the message is correct.

I tried it for code generation and it broke DRY multiple times. It's still faster for me to just build a thing without code generation. I'm not a wizard with my IDE, but I've gotten to a point where I'm pretty fast with some things I need to get done, it's muscle memory.

I am a bit fanatic about verbose variable names, and sometimes the AI creates terrible names for variables, which I go and change anyway.
Indeed! They’re everywhere really, especially along 99
You can just "temporarily" disable the system every time you start the car like auto start-stop and still be in full compliance as it's currently written. Even for people who want this mandated this bill is atrociously written.
It does become a problem in a two party system when one party becomes too extreme for people with moderate viewpoints to consider, since the result is a de facto one-party system (at best, or the extreme party in power at worst). And indeed, this means less of a check on the more extreme impulses of that remaining party.

Whether a grassroots initiative to moderate the Republican party would be successful, I'm less convinced.
What do I search for to find music/audio like this? It sounds so beautiful.
>There is no valid general conversion between speed and Mach number, and things like Mach number relative to the ground is nonsensical.

Sure, if you also want to say water doesn't freeze at 0C or boil at 100C. In practice if an author casually leaves out the variables needed to calculate ground speed from mach or airspeed, it usually means they're doing engineering calculations set at the ISA standard day model (sea level, 15C, no humidity).
Brilliant answer in StackOverflow on improving code performance in R
The metric system is pretty good at that: 1 ml H2O = 1 cm^3 = 1 g, and 1 calorie will increase its temperature 1 deg C (assuming 1 atmosphere pressure, and a certain water temperature).

Anyone have a rhyme for it?
I'm very very particular about measuring out the exact amount a recipe calls for and putting it all in little dishes before we actually start cooking. But I don't actually have a scale, maybe I'll get one and try it. My wife will probably stop me, because once I get into the details on a particular topic I tend to go overboard.

On the math thing, probably during Christmas when we were trying to stretch a baked French Toast recipe to feed 9 people in stead of 6. Worked great.
I think you misinterpreted the comment you replied to. The "loons" being referred to were the democracy-destroying Republicans. He's suggesting trying to get rid of them, so that there is a non-lunatic alternative to the Democrats.
The difference in output code quality in 3.5 vs 4 is staggering - just with using regular old ChatGPT.
This is flat-out wrong. Even Hans Reiser himself (pre-murder) had essentially given up on ReiserFS 3 and had been saying "just wait ReiserFS 4, which will fix all the problems" in response to bug reports and such for ReiserFS 3, which mostly went unfixed.

Some development and maintenance has happened after Hans Reiser's conviction, such as enabling ReiserFS to use more than one core.

However, some problems like y2038-compatibility or 1 second date resolution are not even easy to fix without changing the on-disk format. It's a right pain, y2038 in particular. And ReiserFS doesn't actually have a lot of usage, partly due to this and other problems, so why bother going through a difficult and painful migration?

It's slated for removal now due to the y2038 issue, but even with that the removal of ReiserFS is conditioned on "no one really objects and/or brings a good use case to front", similar to the Itanium removal.

It's more than likely that ReiserFS would have been in the same state if Hans Reiser has died in a sudden accident before he killed his wife.

A good paper on important topic. Already Tables 1 and 2 clarify a lot about this murky field. Their discussion is also quite critical, as it should be.

When I removed the type checking stage, that was with Pyright, which I'd used because of these sorts of recommendations. It has some advantages over Mypy, sure, but it still ended up being more hindrance than help. Particularly with things being of type `Unknown`, which produced all sorts of errors that I could never properly disable.
I would not be able to tell if these slider toggles were saying "yes" or "no" without them going from gray to green. How do colorblind people deal with them?

That the whole world adopted these abominations, when there was absolutely nothing wrong with checkboxes, is immensely frustrating.
I was going to play around with Denuvo years ago, like in 2015 or 2016, but I quickly lost interest. There were no games I wanted to play. And this is still true today.
Either way you wouldn't know. Anything that phones home could be spyware, the difference is on the far side. So it could start out as not spyware and then become spyware. Or it may sometimes be spyware and at other times it is not.

Browsers should only do what their users tell them to do. In fact: that goes for computers as a whole.
It's long-form writing. The point of this story is to read it. If it's too long to read, you're probably not going to be interested in the details. They're sprinkled all across the story, anyways.

Once upon a time, the mafia was big in Milwaukee. They killed this reporter's cousin. I think that's a fine summary.
A lot of places already have carbon pricing in place (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_emission_trading#Exampl...).

The international political system has a long track record of cajoling nations into joining treaties that theoretically are like this.

It's not prisoner's dilemma, because the main property of the PD problem is that parties are prevented from communicating and cooperating with each other. When there's negotiations, transparencency/monitoring, etc, parties can cooperate. If you think international treaty development is like PD, you are due for a for a big optimism update!
That's my bad for not being clear.
Either via RF or line-of-sight IR.

The RF method works the same way ILS for aircraft works: multiple lobes of differing frequencies to a compatible receiver that will only accept the data if both frequencies are present and the interference pattern matches the conditions that it is looking out for.

IR is considerably simpler and would require a receiver to pick up on a well-aimed beam.

For bad actor mitigation, they could put a signature at the end of the speed data that signs the packet with the priority, route, datestamp, and TTL. The priority field could help enforce slower limit around construction zones.
Best mate from college: totally. “Friend” otherwise? Seems like opinion here is “no”.
At the end of the day, I do agree with you. My point wasn’t against the developers who acted like this and if they were right or wrong to do so. My point was about the fact that the knowledge barrier between developers ("R&D") and the upper management is frequently so tight that nobody is ever questioning those choices because let aside the "story points" the damn thing is costing, nobody understands what this is about and if it is necessary or not.

However, that’s just my personal experience, it’s possible that I’ve only seen the wrong kind of companies.
Came here to say the same thing... take my up-vote. ;-)
Forgive me for not searching around enough but so far I am not sure about:

You broke the site guidelines badly and repeatedly in this thread, for example in your aggressive comments to the article author, and in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39139646 which was really totally unacceptable.

A lot of people believe that life isn't unique to earth in the universe and I personally wouldn't face a reckoning by this being confirmed.. I would however face a reckoning if it were somehow proven that earth was unique.
> life is hard for a lot of people and getting harder.

Life is hard and always has been, but it's far easier than the lives of our ancestors (on average, of course).

Just look at the people who lived through - or the (200?) million who died in and more who lost everything in - WWII, less than 100 years ago, right after the Great Depression, right after WWI. And they were optimistic and energetic enough to build historically free, peaceful, and prosperous postwar order.

There is far more to do, absolutely. Let's get to work.
