The one I have for my car is very basic info. Current speed, posted speed, and next turn/lane if I am using navigation. I think it can show current radio station if I scroll it from the steering wheel. Callerid if someone calls and I have it set to use bluetooth. I find it very nice as I do not have to take my eyes off the road.

That sort of headset looks like it would obstruct a good amount of your peripheral vision.
It's fine to grill this particular dude for his stupid behavior, but can you not insult everybody who has a Tesla because of this?

I don't even drive one and it's second-hand embarrassing seeing people make cheap jabs like this.

The experience really isn't that bad on iPad, except the apps you end up needing to use are kind of lacking... which of course does make it not wonderful.
I did this for a couple of weeks with an 11 inch pro while my laptop was being repaired (blasted keyboard... then they broke the mainboard while replacing it).

The 11inch is a little small and it made some things difficult, but not how you might think.
The main thing with the size is the magic keyboard thing just didn't have enough room between the bottom of the screen and where my fingers need to be so I ended up hitting that a lot.
The larger ipad actually doesn't have that problem.

But... I should have just gone with a macbook air instead.
Same price, roughly, same battery life, more power and versatility.

Anyway, you didn't ask for a review but I gave you one anyway <3
I have noticed a huge improvement in ChatGPTs coding abilities having an interpreter to check its work. I expect we will be able to bring a similar feedback loop to hardware once we can integrate things like simulation and equations. Also having modules that are tricky to configure incorrectly.
Other issues aside, a person could not pass a driving vision test wearing Vision Pro. Its resolution is great but not that great, especially in extreme lighting.

You also lose most of your peripheral vision while wearing it.

A future model certified for driving, redundant and paired with a car’s cameras/sensors would be completely “Air Force” awesome but we are not there yet.
(Well, not necessarily, which is why I framed it as training from scratch, to make it clearer that it doesn't have anything necessarily to do with SGD or HMC etc. In theory it shouldn't matter via the likelihood principle, but in practice, taking a gradient step might not give you the same model as you would if you trained from scratch. You'd like it to be a gradient step because that would save you a ton of compute, but I don't know how well Bayesian NNs actually do that. And if that works OK in supervised problems or the simplest bandit RL, it might not work in full PSRL uses because DRL is so unstable.)
Oh my god I'm imagining being 9 years old and slapping my mum and crying because I was hungry, can't do it lol
Instead of a large std tied to the stability guarantees of the labguage, I would like to see something akin yo "stdlib distributions", where a versioned set of community libraries can be depended on to interoperate without duplicated deps in your tree. This decoupling would allow Rust to remain 1.X while the equivalent of the stdlib can bump their major version every, lets say, 3 years, without breaking older projects. You'll notice that this is almost the same thing we have today, and anyone could start it just by creating a crate called "my-std" with the list of dependencies they want to provide.
Yes, I rented a BMW X7 on a trip and it had a HUD projected on the windshield.
Who are you gonna sue when the VR headset lags for a few ms and causes an accident?

Information drawn on a windshield is very different than outside world captured by CCD sensors, processed and reprojected on a low-resolution, low-FOV screen.

Using labels does not make your arguments any stronger, on the contrary. Speaking of which, you quote Wikipedia, but neither the article you refer to, nor the article "Programming language" does say, that programming language is an interface. Languages by definition are merely syntax and semantics, they are used in interactions but they do not define an interface themselves - it is not an "is", but "is used by" relationship. You can write a program on a sheet of paper and put it in a frame on a wall, so that your friends could read it and enjoy the beauty of the algorithm after a couple of bottles of wine, or you can print it on a t-shirt communicating your identity. In neither case there exists an interaction between a human an a machine.

Interface is always about interaction: a keyboard to write the command or the program on, a display presenting an IDE or command interpreter etc. So, looking at your examples: HTML is not an interface and html file is not, but the static website opened in the browser is, because browser has downloaded the site and now knows how to interface with you. Steering wheel is of course an interface, because, as I said earlier including in my previous comment, it allows interaction. The example with arcade games is actually the same as for the first computer, which did not have an interface for programming (punch cards came later) and had to be re-assembled to run a new program: they did have user interfaces for data inputs and outputs.

Your second reference is clearly written for the beginners and simplifies things to the point where it becomes nonsense, even saying that "Programming, therefore, generally involves reading and editing code in an editor, and repeatedly asking a programming language to read the code to see if there are any errors in it". Do you still think it was worth quoting it?

Now, if you feel that I'm over-pedantic with this response too,

If the Russian army is in a much better shape than in 2022, why are they stuck?
I was also not very happy about India buying from Russia in the first place, but I've come around and see it as okay for two reasons:

- Russia still gets far less than they got from the European countries, because no one else is willing to take it, and Europe still gets part of the resources we need

- The money Russia gets is basically useless, cause so much Rupees are not freely convertible. They sit on a big stash of money that they cannot use to buy the things they need (cause they'd need Dollars or Euros for that)

I don't think the second part was intentional on Indias part (I believe them when they say they don't care about Europe - which is something we should remember in all future interactions. Fair trade? Yes. Favors for 'friends'? Not one), but it seems to work out well.
Interesting. I think I wouldn't have quit Google 2 years ago if I'd been able to get myself on a team doing Rust dev. Such a team did not exist at Waterloo though.

Why? Are you on-call?
Great question! Current HDLs tend to primarily be focussed on digital circuit design, while at the PCBA level, there's a lot more focus on the "fuzziness" of the physical world (eg. tolerances).

We also noticed that most EEs we've worked with were a bit put off by the syntax and preferred something a bit more terse, but more intuitive and easier to read.

There perhaps an analog here in software - where we started with assembly (~ SPICE), moved up through things like C and now languages like Python and JavaScript are prolific and accessible.
Vision’s field of vision is ~100deg or so, so it substantially impacts peripheral vision and awareness. The cameras add almost, but not actually, zero lag or visual distortion, so visual acuity is impacted. The Vision windows occlude anything behind them, whereas typical car HUDs do much less of this. The car hud is also usually limited to information directly related to driving, whereas the Vision is not, and while it’s possible the user was only using a navigation app off to the bottom corner, I’ve got my doubts.
Only if your only criterion for success is diversity. I don't think the intention has ever been to recruit evenly from all zip codes or whatever. My understanding is that the idea is to have a substantial portion come from a less advantaged population. (Heck, these universities still need to have a lot of wealthy kids so their families give them lots of money. A dozen self-made millionaires aren't worth much compared to a handful of trust fund billionaires.)

If I flip your numbers around, it actually sounds pretty good: a full quarter of the alumni come from the bottom 80% of zip codes!
This is so common in our industry. If I had a dollar every time I heard "they should have software engineer run company X" or be president.

We already have purjury law, which are so routinely broken by the police there's a common term for it. Testilying.

Purjury is supposed to be serious. But it's not enforced against police officers. Other misconduct like prosecutors hiding exculpatory evidence is also rarely if ever punished even when blatently proven and widely publicided.

So why should I believe, if this law passes, anybody in the justice system will enforce it?

What happened to Ted Bradford is awful. The fact he actually eventually was exenorated was like winning the lottery. For most falsely convicted, a statistical impossibility.
I was thinking this too.

He was driving on the freeway in the first clip and obviously in a parking lot on the second so definitely filmed at different points in time which I noticed as feeling faked. The fact that there were multiple officers seems a bit extreme for the situation but I guess plausible.

Also interesting that the police cars pulled up directly behind him while he was filming which is a point toward it being legitimate.

One thing you can't argue is this person is not smart and is filming themselves doing dangerous things for clicks.
Good point. However, AI may also train on the database metadata, including DDL comments, locale, etc. and perform data sampling to glean the nuances that are "understood".

The idea of "Hacking" cars feels great until you realize that this cars are driving in the same road as you

Hobbyist car hackers is a group filled with overconfidence, and overconfidence can lead easily to a hell of pain and a million of ways to shoot yourself in the face. Because electronic sensors tend to be connected with other sensors, that are connected with many other unsuspected things, and those last things can be more important that it seems.
Without having seen the video, from the details in the article, I will assume it was either staged or fake.
I once had a rental that projected a speedometer low on the windshield (and some other gauges I think). Of course, Apple Vision can project anything -- not just information related to vehicle operation.

Wiki has a surprisingly good timeline of the event. [1] Even the identity of the snipers has, again, a quite reasonable page on Wiki. [2] You might want to at least add in the whole thing about "protesters" shooting at police officers to try to escalate the conflict, occupying government buildings and seizing substantial quantities of weapons, Western cities (which tend to be very pro-EU and anti-Russia for those not familiar with the geography of Ukraine) spontaneously refusing to acknowledge the President's authority, and ultimately the military as well.

Even the end of it all was quite odd. There was a settlement agreed upon, but far right types refused to accept anything short of the President's ouster, and the government was then subsequently directly threatened by the now in control "protesters". Following said threats riot police and others that were guarding the presidential compound "vanished." [3] And it was in this context that Yanukovych fled. Had he not, he probably would have been killed.

Politicians Are Using Kids as Props to Pass Terrible, Harmful Legislation
From the article:

car sales well below last year's increase,

higher labor costs for carmakers,

slower switching to pricier EVs,

health of consumers in China

packaged food and sundry home essentials to protect profits from rising costs by jacking up prices

My opinion

uncertain interest rates

consumer concerns, savings spent & no fallback

The future of long distance train services through the Channel Tunnel
I think the argument against is that right now people know how terrible an authentication system this is and don't build actual security on top of it -- "we only have cardboard boxes so we installed cameras and encrypted the contents."

Once it's good people will outsource the work to what is essentially a CA system where every BMV in America is an issuer and I expect it to hold up at best as well as SMS verification.
Is there a reason that there isn't a stage 0 to rockets that takes advantage of these properties?
I'm still on the fence (and distracted by Vision Pro). It's a good-ish idea, IMHO. I'd like to see a toolkit for "reading configs" where configs are some universal format (JSON, YAML, TOML, etc) for various languages. So that the app in Ruby can share config with "microservice" in Rust and they can also maintain compatibility with completely different app (but sharing infra resources) in Go. Using one config language that supports hierarchical templates, modules, imports, whatever. Because otherwise everyone starts inventing their own "YAML with functions", "JSON with templates", etc. Pkl seems like that. But I don't like that it's Turing complete. Powerful and dangerous. Configs are inherently declarative.
Hell, we do it once in terraform/pulumi/cdk and then it takes 10 minutes to tweak some variables and switch aws accounts and bam

Will processes like this result in families avoiding (or at least not seeking out as much) rigorous high schools? It seems like some families might choose to send their kid to a not-super-rigorous high school — where they can coast in class and learn via outside enrichment — instead of a school with more rigorous academics where they'll be held to a higher bar by colleges.

This would allow students to have a lower-stress life and have an advantage at college admissions — even if they actually learned less academically than they would have at the rigorous high school.
It's hyperbolic for now but not for the future, I suspect. Sounds like chunks of Android are going Rust, but they have also bet big on Rust in Fuchsia. So if Fuchsia has a real future (a questionable proposition), Rust is a huge "cornerstone" of that.
Indeed, Altium has similar features also. I think what has been missing is an effective way to collaborate on hardware projects as a community and be able to share them like you would packages on pypi or npm.
I was there a few months ago. There's hardly any physical menus in restaurants, all I saw were QR codes so they can update the prices constantly. The biggest advertiser at the airport in Istanbul is BTC Turk. People are generally well aware of Tether. Looks like the Lira is now worth 17% less than it was when I visited.
Its CEO's flaws are more publicized than any other car companies, but I think it's better to separate the CEO from your everyday car. People most probably do not support evading Japanese sovereign law when driving a Renault, pissing on environmental regulations when driving a VW or maintaining the iron grip of a familial dynasty on South Korea when driving a Samsung.

Compared to the people at this level, most of us here are mere peons trying to find the best fit for our daily driver.
I am very near-sighted... it feels good. :)

That’s a pretty cool find. It just goes to show even some of the oldest and most widely used open source libraries still have security issues. This is a rare corner case but it’s still a fantastic find. I suppose no static analysis tools found it over all those years.
Wow, I wouldn’t touch that with a 100 foot pole.
Germany was utterly defeated, that's why there could be a reconciliation. Neither Russia nor the West will be defeated like that, Russian regime will likely survive. That means a chance of some meaningful reconciliation is slim during next couple of decades.
That is different that signing something and being held to it.

You waived a right by saying that but you can choose.l to not speak after.

The Vision Pro is not an actual AR headset - it does not offer optical passthrough. Just digital reprojection of the exterior cameras. In case of a bug or crash, you are now blind.
Edit:

Nevermind, I confused HiSense and Huawei's HiSilicon :(

With that said, HiSense is more of a white box OEM outside Asia, so maybe this is them trying a new thing with direct sales to West?

This is simple without getting the state to meddle in the business of private individuals. Just set FairBusiness, LLC.
Businesses who want clients have to be certified by FairBusiness in how they don't screw up customers. Customers who want to find the nearest non-screwing business have to pay a listing annual fee to FairBusiness, LLC. And thus the market polices itself. No need for noisy governmental agency.
Basic principle of security: A security system should be more expensive to break for the attacker than the value of the thing it is securing to the owner.

This is generally a counter to people using binary thinking and believing that a security system is broken if there is any way in at all, thus thinking things are either in the categories "secure" or "insecure" without any further qualification. In fact those categories don't exist. It is intrinsically at a bare minimum a spectrum of security, and one can slice & dice more finely if one likes based on what sort of attacks various different types of attackers can mount, e.g., defending against whole-internet scans is one thing, nation-state attackers specifically targeting you quite another.

I'm using it in a different way: When what you want to lock behind your security system is essentially "all economic value in the world", such as "we'll solve all identity problems on the internet by just having the government provide identities", that means you need to create a security system that is more expensive to break than "all economic value in the world". However, you can't. Any conceivable security system is easier to break than that.

There is a sense in which it is simply necessary that there be a wide variety of independent identification systems, each individually covering sufficiently small amounts of value that they are possible to exist at all, and with a diversity of costs and strengths to cover the various cases.
If law enforcement could behave itself, there would be less demand for "anti law enforcement" legislation.
