I’m surprised that would even work. I figured it would be like when Casey Neistat got in the subway and the screens floated away, or turned off while he was walking. I don’t know how the AVP would be able to lock the windows in space when the background is constantly moving.

I have to assume this video was made for the memes and not a serious user.

Distracted driving aside, if anything happens to the software or hardware which causes the device to turn off, the user is essentially wearing a blindfold while behind the wheel of a car. Autopilot or not, that’s a bad idea.
yup! too late to edit

For the same reason some manufacturers have attempted to stop providing detailed repair specs.
I tried in some other way. I even wrote my own library that functions as a kind of DSL to generate LaTeX. I never have been able to cross the boundary that makes solving math with a keyboard faster than with a pencil.

I don't understand why. Programming is supposed to help managing complexity by abstraction and I can't understand why it can't help solving math. My gut feeling is the lack of a good language (that's why I tried to wrote my own library). May be I should try out Typst as mentioned in other comments.

Regarding writing in LaTeX, I hate its syntax for the following reasons:

- global namespace: how can I make sure there's no collision and have sane naming convention?
- lack of flexibility of characters to use: basically just \somethinglikethis rather than easier to read variables like something_like_that
- macros are hard to reuse, "functions" are difficult to rewrite: code reuse is difficult. In deriving math (with big expressions), one often copy a lot of things while simplifying a portion of them. How to achieve writing the next line efficiently, when carrying from the previous lines? Defining repetitive terms and reuse in the next line is good, until I then need to further simplify in following lines.
- bad default behaviors: \left ( ... \right ) is just so noisy to be read in plain text and undistracted. In order words, LaTeX is good at typesetting, which also makes it hard to type (and read) in plain text.

My own library is supposed to solve all these issues. But reusing is still a pain. In plain LaTeX, if you want to reuse an equation you typeset for another documentation, you could just copy and paste. But with a library, then you need to somehow manage the dependencies as well.
It is really hard for me to get myself worked up about this. They were up to no good and as a result two innocent people are dead.

Don't do that. Though luck, select your friends and activities better if you worry about this.

Yeah man no reason the SPAC in the name of a former President with companies he's propped up who is the leading candidate for the opposition party with the incumbent reportedly having abysmal ratings would be having a surge

You think the stock market is filled with "rational" actors? It has always ALWAYS been a vibe check since its existence. The Tesla stock is obviously overvalued, not because there is some grand conspiracy to prop up the stock by a bunch of retail investors but because Elon is a hype man and he hypes up his own stocks. Tesla being overvalued is not a new phenomenon
also messing about with stereo width is not (in my experience) a 'default' move in professional mastering. it would be done as a corrective, but only with the say-so of the artist.
Were these communities using Reddit ?

It seems to be basically designed to make netiquette hard (more charitably : they designed it by assuming that people would give up on netiquette, which does seem to happen as a community gets larger).

It's one of the reasons I'm boycotting it now, but also being wary of too similar looking alternatives like Lemmy.
SQL is like regex, one of those things I will keep unlearning if I'm not using daily.

I watched a performance of it on YouTube. The performance is the little coughs and sighs and creaks etc that we don't normally hear. I don't think it has a theatral component which needs people to storm out.

My current phone is the first one I've owned to ever be supported by LineageOS. I've always been disapointed I couldn't use it to breathe life back into my old phones.

I don't think I'll make the switch so long as it's still supported by the manufacturer, but maybe after they drop support I'll finally be able to give it a shot.
I'm super impressed and think it's very professional. I actually used the DECStation so I'm going wow, that beast of electronics is on a business card.
I loved the story of decide what chips to use, build a card, now write an emulator of a long gone processor, now get Linux to work and hey, make Ultrix work too.

Great story, I liked the documentation of the step by step how to do it. It was nice that you had the details of the process including the good, the bad and the ugly. Lots of these stories are "bought CPU, Memory, a few caps; built a board, did some software; here is final product". I got a feel for the hours you spent and the dedication to seeing it through. As a former employer (retired) it would have caught my attention.

Congrats on a great project, hope it's been helpful to get you cool jobs. If you ever make it to the Philly area, let me know, I'd love to see it run.
I wonder how much is due to the average joe getting into trading since it's becoming easier and easier to invest money and as it is it looks like free money.
I'm not an expert in memory allocation strategies, but AFAIK fragmentation can still be a problem with a naive allocator that doesn't group small allocations (less than a page size) into buckets. You won't run out of virtual address space (as was the case with 32-bit processes on computers with much more than 4 GB physical memory), but you may run out of physical memory if the allocator is "blocking" a whole memory page from being recycled because there's a tiny live allocation in it.

> It is to be expected that there will be entire industries that spring up to extract some of that wealth from the less bright wealthy.

I'm not sure it is as much "less bright" as maybe "more impulsive" or something like that. I think someone can be very smart and still want to "live for today".
It’s crazy that carrier-grade routers don’t auto-detect packet data corruption. They could do it by injecting test packets on ingress ports and sniffing on egress. Something like this would be detected quickly. It’s better to shut down a router corrupting packets and let the system route around it than keep corrupting.

Care to explain further why there should be zero regulations on the UX of monopoly applications used by ~15%+ of world population? Good luck on trying to avoid the 3 top messaging applications in today's world. How is this different from regulating content moderation?

It's like telling a wheelchair user to just use another station or form of transport. If you have global reach, you have global responsibilites. And the end goal wouldn't even be regulated apps - it should simply be too complex to create apps with such a reach. Forcing open protocols instead of proprietary gardens. This is what the messaging interoperability of EU's DMA act is also supporting.
music is one of the most subjective things in life, and what one person considers good or meaningful music is based entirely on non-mathematical forces like culture, early child exposure to music, and personal taste. Music only is mathematical in the same way everything can be represented by mathematical concepts. While I have no doubt ai will be able to make presentable music in the near future, music is about expressing the human experience, which is something ai can't do. Treating music like its a product that can be perfected shows a deep misunderstanding as to why people find value in music

I really like hacker news but the users here have very strange perspectives on art.
"I've invested in individual stocks and never made double significant returns. Therefore I no longer invest in individual stocks."

Totally fair. It is a skill in and of itself.
The comparison is fine. It's a comparison between the labor of a country of 45 million people working for a full year vs the value created by a company with 25 thousand employees working for a few months.

It's not a perfect analogy (what analogy is?) but it is the kind of thing that should make you go "hmm".
Sounds like they were doing it wrong. At a high level, senior management shouldn’t care about tiny optimizations like that, and their OKRs should be higher level. Your team should make OKRs that support those higher level OKRs in the best way it can, which is probably not those meaningless optimizations.

Easy to say, but hard to do. I have also had my OKRs dictated to me by upper/middle management. Sometimes I think I was the only one in the room who read Measure What Matters.
I don't get why people keep measuring companies valuations against countries GDP, GDP is per year, valuation is total value. Meaning those are completely unrelated metrics.

What makes more sense is to compare the company revenues or profits against a country GDP.
We have been using all those GCP products and more without any significant problems.

But I do agree, there are some gotchas. PubSub examples: Duplicated messages, shitty DLQ implementation (in my opinion), some developers had improper error handling which lead to to infinite resends of messages (because they nacked message on error), etc..

However, I think the scaling and setup weighs up for all of that. You just need to specify a topic and subscription, and then you don't really have to care about resources or scaling at all, and that is SUPER nice. Also, PubSub is stupidly cheap in comparison to any other similar product, at least that I know of.
I mean I wouldn't recommend it, but realistically Tesa's autopilot is good enough that you would have the extra 1 second it takes to take off the headset to react.
On the face of it, "How can Tesla have 2x the market cap of Toyota?!?!" sounds pretty sane.

Tesla owns its dealership / sales network; what's the value of those "dealerships"? Similarly tesla runs a huge charging network and has convinced every other manufacturer to switch to their network (in North America). And tesla makes a bunch of power generation / distribution stuff. So "a car company" is incomplete. They also have tons of willing beta testers / AI trainers to go out and train their self driving model -- any tesla out there is collecting driving data and is getting trained by observing the driver's driving and comparing it to "what I'd have done" driving; not sure they'll ever get to "self driving" but there's some value there.

Tesla's also run by a drug addled risk addicted narcissist. He's pretty smart and has made a bunch of terrifying large bets that have consistently (cough except solar city and maxwell's dry cell battery stuff, and that eggs / stormfront thing) paid off pretty good.
I always thought the 415 scams were aimed at rich people with poor judgement.

I mean, who believes $10 million is going to fall out of the sky and hit them except someone who has already been hit with $10 million falling from the sky?

Plus there is a limit for how much money you can scam out of a normal person.
wow, that sounds like a lot! Is that your full-time job?
Yes, this is what I meant by "fun trivia".

(Although a lot of these measures were pretty police-state-ish.)
If Spotify raises prices they have to pay the vast majority of that out to labels still, it's all percentage models.

And they likely lose subscribers to they literally get poorer.

Spotify knows it's only way out is exclusive content, hence the Rogan deal et al.
Sometimes true... Sometimes you get Christopher Nolan, with his own quote:

This is maybe the most beautiful description linking the arts and sciences that I've ever read. A good scientist is one who extends the envelope of our external knowledge; a good artist is one who pushes the boundaries of our inner qualia and interpretations
Is it really murder if you break into a car and surrender when the cops arrive?

What about this real-world example from the same article:

"In 2015, when he was fifteen, LaKeith and four friends broke into two unoccupied homes in Millbrook, Alabama, to steal Xbox games and other electronics. A neighbor called the police, who appeared, guns drawn. LaKeith ran into the woods, and one of the officers shot and killed his friend, sixteen-year-old A’Donte Washington, who they said had a gun. The prosecution alleged that one of the older teen-agers had fired a shot, and a grand jury found that the officer’s use of force was “justified.” LaKeith was charged as an adult with murder, for the killing at the officer’s hand."

Is a 15-year-old really a murderer when a police shoots his friend for stealing Xbox games?

Elsewhere in the world, murder usually means a premeditated killing. This is something completely else.
I like your breakdown of events, but Dominique was Sharma's daughter, not Shamji's. It does seem very likely that he was caught one way or another and took a dive to try and make it out alive
I appreciate your followup comment. Perhaps I misread your tone. As someone else said, it just sounded so silly that it seemed to lampoon the perspective of those who supposedly hold it.

It felt like caricature -- like the written equivalent of me doing an impression of a Christian while crossing my eyes and saying in a doofy voice "I believe in the magic sky-man", where obviously their conception of god could be given a more charitable viewing :)

This puts the focus on writing content vs. spending unlimited time in the setup.
> First of all, you obviously only did this in cases where there was some prospect that a crime might have been committed, not in any instance of something mysterious happening.

How would you know if a crime has been committed or not unless you actually find out the truth about the event/situation?
Bummer.

But who cares?

If we can't live by our principles, wtf is the point of having them?
I built my blog to publish via email.

It’s got everything you need except it’s not possible to edit posts. You just have to email yourself a new, updated version and make that version public.

Taught me a lot about serverless, SES, css, and htmx. 10/10 would recommend trying this route if you don’t want to use the standard toolsets.
MIPS on GCC defaulted to trapping integer overflows, but they had non trapping instructions too.
I have the opposite question: If you are already using templating/components, why would you want to use something like CSS in the first place? I do not find it to be an effective tool, at all. It is an optimization on dimensions that do not really matter to me, and a pessimization on the dimensions that do matter, a lot.
It’s a question of motivation.

If you want to get on the money train or want to be impressive, your insecurity might be motivating you and that’s not a powerful place to create a contribution.

If you want to build a cool product that you want but doesn’t exist, commit and start building now. If you don’t have the skills to build, go learn them.
It is retail investors, but to create the momentum that drives the frenzy you need a lot of cash rushing in at the same time. Like with GameStop it was all over the news, there just isn't the same level of media hype to cause the run up. I bet what tips it into a feeding frenzy is a massive institutional investor inflow which creates enough of an outsized move to then attract guppy retail investors who end up driving the craziness and holding the bag. It's part natural behavior, part manipulation.
And conductive particles != charged particles.

It seems they're using different kinds of particle counts for the mass of the Van Allen belts and the mass of the satellites and meteors. The high-energy dissociated subatomic particles in the Van Allen belts do not form from decaying meteorites or satellites unless you put those meteorites and satellites in a particle accelerator.

And further, the 'textbook undergraduate physics problem' of finding the magnetic field outside a conductive shell assumes that infinitesimal concentrations of aerosolized conductive particles form a fully conductive shield.

Yes, I understand that when heated to a plasma these concentrations matter, but it's disingenuous to compare them in the way the article does.
Let's check back in a year?
Can you expand what you mean by "degenerating into Stakhanovism"? I read your Wikipedia article, and I also read this one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakhanovite_movement

I have a vague understanding of what the movement was, but I'm unsure how you are relating it back here.

Are the degenerated attributes related to the "puffery" and "theatre".
I find the out of range goals to be very demotivating. During the quarter they will hold our collective noses to the grindstone telling us to get this stuff done and hit certain dates and numbers. Then maybe once a year they will say they don’t expect us to hit any numbers that are set, in typical OKR fashion.

If a game is setting me up to fail, I don’t want to play that game. My productivity has gone in the toilet ever since our management started pushing their brand of OKRs.
Sounds like any static site generator supporting Markdown will do.

- Jekyll: the OG, but requires a ruby toolchain.

- Hugo: compiles to a single static binary, but you may have to get used to its (Go text/html) templating.

- Zola: also compiles to a single static binary, but uses Jinja-like templating.

- Gozer [^1]: my own, like Hugo, but 1000x simpler. I rolled my own because I wanted something that didn't move under me in the next 10 years and just because it was fun and easy enough to build.

Nice try, but that link says 41,731 deceased in the first paragraph, and 43,014 deceased under the the visualisation with the Soviet stars (bit weird). I admit this is based on a machine translation, but I expect that Google and DeepL can get the meaning of "killed" correct.

You seriously think there are only 43k killed and wounded in total?

No Russian attracting enough attention is outside the reach of the Kremlin anyway, unless you avoid tea and underwear your whole life. So i put only marginally more trust in this report than the official figures of 7000 or whatever it is from Puntin himself.
Your GitHub action can trigger a helm chart, or series thereof, or other infra tools. Declarative specifications, triggered procedurally with the context of the branch’s latest build. We use this pattern quite extensively for preview app workflows.

As of a year ago this is possible in a fully declarative way with Flux 2, but there’s a lot more moving parts and security footguns - and the idea that the maintenance of this project has lost one of its primary sponsors is worrying at best.

Well, I started out using Microsoft FrontPage at one point, but once I knew enough about HTML I migrated over to Notepad, driven in part by it being the fashion among some percentage of the developer community at the time (there was an attitude where the less tools you needed, the more you were taken seriously as a developer, with WYSIWYG ones getting the least respect).

I know I used FTP to upload the pages, though I'm not sure which program I used.

And I usually used free hosting providers too. More like Tripod and my ISP than Geocities, but it was all usually the same anyway. No (or very little) support for anything beyond HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and the ever present ads all over the place.

If you want to simulate this setup with an M1 Mac, then probably TextEdit and the FTP program of your choice along with Neocities.
Two people were dead (partly) because Oakley fled. Sadik’s actions did not have any causal factor in the deaths. Clearly injustice to charge Sadik with murder.
