You can just turn off via breaker the lte modem inside a tesla. Original ones had a 3g modem, they were replaced eventually with an lte one. Spying is under your control at least overall. The insidious thing is there are so many useful things in the tesla ui, you want to use it. I have experimented with disabling the modem but it was just so useful to have maps and current and accurate traffic that I quickly put it back. Also using voice commands to play music. There's just nothing as good for the phone.

There is potential for someone to make an ipad app that did all these things and connected to say your phone's hotspot so you could control everything. Soon you would be remaking android auto though. I think there's no market for a "you control your privacy" type thing.

Look hard enough, and he does seem to believe that all work requiring a physical presence will be automated away, with everyone becoming a (remote) knowledge worker at a keyboard (enjoying the good life, in some nice location).

Color me extremely doubtful about both the physical possibility of implementing this vision, and the social stability of attempting it.

I just started using this phone a couple weeks ago. It runs android 11, and the Ink OS that is runs is actually pretty clean and simple. I use Mint Mobile as my provider since TMobile is the only carrier that really supports it in the US. I am located in NYC and while the phone's coverage isn't like my older iPhone's its still pretty good. You can also get it off AliExpress for about $360 (At least I was able to). Not quite sure if it can use Android auto yet.

Overall I have had a good experience using the phone. My goal was to reduce my daily eye strain while not giving up the phone essentials, and it has certainly helped me do that.
That gp3 volume is extremely slow compared to a $100 NVMe drive. If each txn does a heap update, index update, wal write, and heap read, that's 4 IOs per txn right there (well, not for sequential IDs because you don't need to flush heap/index on every update). The volume gets 16k IOPS max, so that 2600-3400 txn/s is somewhat close to its capabilities assuming multiple IOs per txn. It's a little hard to find info, but latency of a gp3 volume is approximately 1 ms? That's going to limit you on WAL writes since they're synchronous. An NVMe drive that does say 20k read and 50k write IOPS at qd1 has 50 us read / 20 us write latency. A database should be more of a qd32 workload, so hundreds of thousands to millions of IOPS.

It's a single core, so no parallelism in the db itself. There's a fraction of the RAM my phone has, so that slow IO is more pronounced.

The basic implications of different keys and detailed look at the cache internals are valid and interesting, but the hardware is nothing like a server you'd want to run a database on, so the benchmark isn't very interesting. An iPhone is probably beefier in every way.
I said this in a previous thread, a QA/QC/SOP firm either has a culture where nobody would dare violate SOP or it doesn’t. It’s not about “admitting” a problem, they already have the SOPs and inspection protocols that reveal defects and proscribe ways to identify, document and address any defect. But as the QA guys where I work say, they are a cost center.

There are two real questions here, can Boeing strictly follow their QA/QC regime and remain profitable. Second, can they get through their current period where FAA inspectors have set up shop on their premises and are now effectively another layer of supervisors. They’re in the stage now where the FAA are on the shop floor basically as cops to ensure Boeing actually does what they said they would do via the documentation in their Quality suite. They either have the war chest or the financial backing to pull that off without an immediate price increase or they’re toast.
I will point blank refuse to return to office until there is thorough ventilation and individual offices. I’m not interested in catching a disease that can cause long term heart damage, immune deficiency, and more.

As for what would make me want to, pretty much nothing. I’m an introvert and sensitive to noise and activity around me. I concentrate better and am far less stressed WFH.

And my home office is sunnier, greener, and altogether more pleasant than any office I’ve ever worked in. Plus not spending time commuting. (A walking commute is actually pleasant and good for health, but extremely rare.)

With safety measures in place, an occasional in-office day would be tolerable, but not more than a couple times per month.

Every so often on HN we get a bunch of nutjobs spouting off about geo-engineering, and often specifically about stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI). That is pumping out kilotons of sulphuric acid spray in the upper atmosphere to reduce solar radiation. It's always touted by very clever scientists, usually from somewhere like MIT or elsewhere. It's absolutely poppycock, and dangerous at that.

This article takes the whole thing to an absurd level. The idea that you can inject aerosols as a 'subscale deployment' and get meaningful results which would apply on a global scale is so crazy it beggars belief. It's like taking a can of spray paint, painting a single tree in the Amazon and then writing a report outlining the effects it will have on the whole rainforest.

Wow, there's no end to this stuff. Just when we thought the carbon capture and carbon credit people had been put out to pasture....

I have to wonder if they're using this opportunity to dump all of their known bad production issues so they don't get sued for misleading shareholders later. The kind of stuff that wouldn't have ever come to light if the door hadn't fallen off that Portland flight.

Maybe it's even something they can try to spin as improving quality control practices for brand rehabilitation. Or maybe I am just imagining things.
Do you know how businesses contracts are managed? Are they simply defined in USD equivalents?

Does it eliminate the manufacture or sale of long lead time items, or are they somehow renegotiated at the time of delivery?
You keep talking about the judgement. You don't have any clue about the actual award. The shareholders crushed it. I have financial freedom forever because of it. You think we're going to claw back what's fair because of a technicality.

50 billion is not important to Tesla's growth, we already run the most capital efficient R&D in history. Apple spends more than than that per quarter on R&D and they still fail to innovate. Tesla's manufacturing innovation success is down to innovation not spending. You could put Musk in charge of apple and he would save you 50 billion on the first day.

Look at Facebook, they were going full tilt on some weird virtual world, blowing 10 billion a quarter on it. Then after Musk fired 80% of twitter eliminating bloat, every tech company followed suit and now Facebook is absolutely killing it. Focus and leadership matter more.

The strange conflation of hatred for musk as a person with stupid ideas about what shareholders in his companies should do should stop. The dude is an asshole but he is hands down the greatest capital allocator in the history of the world.
That’s the main question. And I suspect, the reason why Apple has not pitched that sort of desk setup. I doubt this is comfortable enough to provide a full day, every day usage.
We've thought of that briefly. You're essentially asking for some sort of synthetic monitoring right?

Definitely something we're thinking of. If you have any particular requirements, we're all ears.
It's frequently framed as an issue with Boing now having an accounting-driven culture instead of an engineering-driven culture. In that framing a CEO with engineering background is a logical choice to effect that culture change.
"The consideration will be paid in a combination of: (i) a cash equivalent of at least RUB 230 billion"

Why are you including only US airlines for comparing a plane model's safety? That seems very convenient. And even worse you are using other planes data as well.
Not really - if you’re involved in a bad auto accident you are going to be sued - ending up with a large judgement against you (because your insurance only covered $300k of a $1m judgement still leaves you on the hook for $700k) is a horrible outcome, rich or poor.

You want liability protection such that your assets (whether small or large) are unlikely to be impacted by a reasonably foreseeable outcome I.e. $300k of liability covers 55% of likely outcomes vs $3m covering 85%
I don't pay extra for 4K streaming in part because I just don't have the bandwidth each month to handle 4x larger video downloads.

Even with 1080p and 2-3 downloaded modern video games per month (which are all greater than 100GB now), I tend to get up to my 1TB bandwidth cap each month. I start paying extra after that.

Agreed, I am also working on a react native app for iOS and Android. I decided to release it on the web first to avoid the extra cut Apple and Google will take and to iterate faster on a single platform, but as you mention, most people expect to have a native app for these B2C apps.

Iwoz is a fun book. His humor really comes through. Though not sure all those pranks could be pulled off today.
I went from full time employment to freelancing in 2010 or so. I wouldn't do that again. Freelancing is the worst parts of a full time job and the worst parts of entrepreneurship combined in retrospect.

I then founded a software services company where I currently work and grew it. It's been a very rewarding journey so far.

I'm not sure if either of these qualifies as "self employed" but that's that. :)
That’s subjective. I love being in 100F weather. Makes me feel alive.
There are size limits when deploying on serverless or edge infrastructure so developers have to care about that. The providers also typically charge by compute seconds * memory consumed so a larger executable costs real money as well.
Right, but if 50% of the people on the road are completely uninsured, the economy grinds to a halt because driving suddenly becomes a potentially bankruptable activity even for those not at fault.
If we're ignoring your ninja edit.
> This transparency is good, don't punish them for it. There's no guarantee whatsoever that other plane manufacturers don't run into similar problems and don't announce them.

Make no mistake, there is no real transparency here. There is no sudden "culture shift".

Boeing is under a magnifying glass and no-one is going to stick their neck out and say: "Well, geez this is such a small mistake I'm going to ignore it". Because if planes start falling from the sky (again) you want your ass covered. There is currently just very little incentive for anyone (employees, managers, FAA, etc.) to led things slide.
> runs android 11

that's a bummer.
There is a killer new feature on android 12 that allows neostore (F-droid frontend) that allows apps to auto update without me having to remember to manually update them.
It may happen for email and SQLite. Or at least a mail server that uses SQLite. In this July 2021 conversation Richard Hipp, the creator of SQLite, said he’s going to write his own email server:

https://corecursive.com/066-sqlite-with-richard-hipp/

I’m going to write my own mail server. I was making notes on that even as we were setting up this call. That’s a big problem, and that’s at least as difficult if not more difficult than writing a database engine, but I don’t want to be beholden to Gmail. I don’t want them controlling my destiny. I don’t want them controlling the record of all of my conversations. I want to control that myself, and so I’m going to go through a lot of pain and a lot of work and a lot of effort to come up with some solution that I can control myself. I can go out and lease a virtual machine out there in the cloud and run it myself and not depend on a third party to control my email.

I expect the foundation will be SQLite, just as it is for his source code control system Fossil.
For me, it would be the salary needed to have an amazing flat or house near the office. So, if you have the office in Toronto or New York it’s okay, but I will want many money (probably you won’t hire me)
If this is what is happening, then that is encouraging.

Anytime a corporation had 'culture of silence'.

Boing MAX ?
If you modify your car with an aftermarket part, and take it to the shop, they aren't going to yank out your aftermarket parts because they're "worried about liability." They're going to leave it there, because it's your car, not theirs. It's not their job to stupid-proof your vehicle, it's their job to fix it.

I don't know why software would be any different.
Not 5G! Shame on them.
as I already mentioned having reserves is indeed very important

in my jurisdiction there are for example some excellent guaranteed income insurances covering various situations. they won't pay forever, but they'll pay. income replacement due to health issues is covered by normal social welfare in my jurisdiction as well

all of those things you mentioned happen regularly to employees. they are harder to let go, sure, but employers have a lot more leeway to make your job hellish enough to force a resignation, or if the economy is really bad overall they can throw their hands up and say we're cutting divisions of the business with no objections from the law in most places. sure you can go to your work council (hope they are on your side) about it, or to the union (hope they have time for you and you're lucky enough to have enough evidence to win the tribunal) or the lawyer (hope you have a legal assistance insurance and are ready for years of process and fees). employees without a savings buffer are similarly vulnerable in these circumstances

the biggest reason to stay an employee if you can consult instead where I am is really the unemployment benefits you can get, but that now takes up to 10 months to actually start paying out due to how understaffed the government is. so again, best have some reserves. the next biggest reason is you hate paperwork

I have no need for an email sender at the moment, but I just wanted to say that I found your website and premise super simple to understand. I think the thing that often gets lost in large companies is that "tone" gets neutered. This copy reads like a person wrote it, rather than a large committee. Cheers.

That sounds like DefCon 7 at the Alexis Park. I think I remember seeing a photo of a golf cart in the pool.

I quit going after 7. It seemed like they partying had vastly I overtaken any actual technical content. I don't drink and I'm not super social, so it just seemed like it wasn't "for me" anymore.

Edit: It has probably changed in the intervening years but every time I looked into it it seemed like more spectacle than tech. DerbyCon filled the niche for me for a few years but then it got impossible to get tickets for and imploded. (I know there's a lot of backstory about DerbyCon that I don't know, too. For me it was just a fun way to feel a little of the DefCon 3 vibes again.)
Or even better: have CEO & COO hold a secret emergency meeting with the CFO; after the money transfer the CEO & COO deny everything, claim they weren't there and were deepfaked.

Is that not a pun on the use of "/" for division, and how it's often expressed in spoken English? It might still be a weird sense of priorities, but an historical one rather than a new one.
This is very simple:

EBS has a latency of around 2 ms.

SSD has a latency of around of around 0.25 ms.

A relational database will have around 10x the performance on an SSD compared to EBS because relational databases need to ensure data has been fully written to disk.

You can just turn off the breaker for the modem, why don't people just do that? Yes, you can remove the thing, but you can experiment today by doing that first step.

Automate vector search in Postgres with any Hugging Face transformer

My number one problem with tools is dealing with tasks that take a long time.

I just did a maven build a moment ago that added up to 13 seconds but I have at times had build processes that took upwards of 40 minutes. Sometimes for bad reasons, but sometimes this is intrinsic to the kind of work I am doing.

For instance I have a machine learning model that I train automatically every day, it takes 3 minutes and in that 3 minutes it is training multiple models, testing them, choosing one, and calibrating the model. There are four steps of retrieving items from an RSS feed and incorporating them in a database, training a classification model, running another classification, and gathering more data from the Hacker news API. I could probably squash them down a single Python script but running them all every day doesn't feel like a burden.

I have another model that takes around 45 minutes to train a single model. I might have to train 10 of those to get one which is production quality. Possibly I could fully automate the process and parallelize it, just kick it off and have a model in 2.5 hours. I am not there yet, but trying to get there I will have to start the trainer, go do something else that doesn't interfere with the trainer, get a notification that the trainer completed and it needs my attention, etc.

That is, I'd like tools to help manage long-running processes like that.
I tried going back to writing in cursive and I was shocked at how different the process of writing was. When writing in script you have to think in terms of whole words. Writing in print is an atomic experience, one latter at a time. And of course once you get good at it you can probably write faster in cursive.

If I were doing my math and Econ classes today I would absolutely use an ipad. Not only can you draw diagrams along with the notes, you can take a picture of the whiteboard or someone else’s notes and extract the text out it. Then later on you can type up the notes to reintegrate (hah!) what you were writing down. Then you could use LaTex or whatever other markup system you want while thinking about the subject matter.

tmux is not entirely dissimilar to GNU Screen which uses `C-a` rather than `C-b` as its prefix key. That conceptual lineage may explain some of the UI choices.
