I don't mind environmentalism and I also see why people prefer to portray a picture of "you will die" instead of "your grand grand grand kids will die" but I also personally dislike it when people skew the picture to push their agenda, even if it is good and pushed entirely out of their love and care for others.

It might be due to me being surrounded by automotive enthusiasts but the general view of recent environmental laws in my circles is that they exist mostly to motivate spending and move some local pollution somewhere else. It's kind of the combination of nonsensical laws and short term effect exaggeration that offends people, making them stubborn/resistant to accepting things that actually make sense. It's probably offset by people who get a sense of urgency out of it but I withhold my right to dislike it.
agree - network storage is slower than local NVMe - the choice was intentional for two reasons

1) the percentages would be different but the basic implications should hold true even with NVMe and 96 cores, as long as we scaled up the data size and workload

2) in addition making it a bit easier to demonstrate what we'd expect to see (there's not really anything surprising here), chose this setup because it's cheap so anyone else could replicate the exact results or play around with the scripts and try variations without having to spend much money. for example, someone on twitter was curious about uuidv7 in a text field - would be easy & cheap to try it out and see what happens - also could easily go to bigger hardware and local NVMe, changing client and row counts

20 years ago when i wanted to benchmark oracle RAC, i had to go out and buy dual-attach firewire drives and that was a hack because who wants to spend their personal vacation money on an old EMC clarion storage array from eBay [i might have bought personally an old sun server or two though!]

size results should be independent of hardware setup, but the perf results are specific to this setup, which is why the post includes detailed specs and scripts for transparency

also, FWIW, most production use cases for databases these days include some kind of high availability which means network involvement in the persistence path - so even when the database is on local NVMe, it's not uncommon to have a hot standby or patroni or something with sync replication
I think this is extremely different for a few reasons:

1. When the car’s projector stops working, you can still see through your windshield (I realize AVP can keep rolling the cameras in some circumstances, but not all)

2. The info projected on the windshield is inherently limited to a few key indicators vs. an open ended OS that can display almost anything

3. The windshield projector doesn’t eliminate your peripheral vision and hamper your field of view
I would never advise this. I use UUIDv4 for basically everything. It adds minimal overhead to small systems and adds HUGE benefits if/when you need to scale. If you need to sort by creation date use a "created" column (or UUIDv7 if appropriate).

If your system ever becomes distributed you will sing the praises of whoever choose UUID over an int ID, and if it never becomes distributed UUID won't hurt you.

Note: this is for web systems. If it's embedded systems then the overhead starts to matter and the usefulness of UUID is probably nil.

> Why? The CEO of a company this big, no matter their background, has no business building an intimate understanding of the tech.

This is certainly a point of contention in modern schools of business thought, but the concept of a CEO who doesn't understand what the company builds is bizarre to me.

The CEO of Boeing, IMO, should probably have aircraft engineering experience, and, ideally, also be a pilot with the suitable type ratings to fly the stuff they build.

And they should be open to "Hey, if you have engineering concerns about the airplanes we're building for the traveling public, you come to me!" style office visits. Someone with concerns about the "single sensor fault runaway trim" style system should have been able to bring it up, and have him understand it.

I know this isn't what Boeing has. And they've lost a lot. This is now increasingly clear to people outside aviation circles.
Not exactly, it's tough because every high school needs a different normalization, and it may drift from cohort to cohort. Most universities only ever see a handful of students from any given HS, so it's really tough to untangle the big spike of 5.0 students. Usually the results are weakly predictive of academic success, if the correlation even exists at all. External agencies like the CollegeBoard offer data as a service type solutions for this, but they're (A) low quality, (B) expensive, and (C) have lots of weird privacy concerns because it's data about minors.
Propensity to study is highly correlated with socioeconomic factors. Kids from good homes are provided the support and encouragement needed to get it done.
The difference is interaction. I haven't ever been in a car with a windshield HUD, but I assume it doesn't require specific driver interaction to use. Using your smartphone while driving is also very illegal and can get you an expensive ticket. Anything that shifts your attention away from the road is dangerous, even if it's "in front of you". Passive information is very different from interactive menus.
I'm a proponent of right to repair because it leads to asking the same question about software. It's the first domino in a line of reasoning that leads to more software freedom.
I have no idea having not used an apple headset but a few thoughts are: latency compared to real-world, reduced peripheral vision, but probably the biggest is distraction
Some of these comments are funny. I am sure there are plenty of mistakes made by plenty of competent people as I read the next article about Boeing. Good to analyze root cause ….to a point.

You have the right to remain silent. You also have the right not to remain silent. Talking after a Miranda warning is taken as a clear waiving of that right to remain silent. You can, of course, stop talking at any time, but they're not going to re-Marandize you after every sentence.

Who knows?

On one hand, there'll be less oil to go around. On the other hand, refineries might stop doing cracking, resulting in more heavier oil products. On the third hand, oils with high content of heavy fractions will probably be phased out first, because lighter oils will remain more profitable.

Ask HN: How to find time to learn after full-time job?
Hi, HN is like a nerd heaven to me where I get to come across great learning resources and amazing projects.

Also, so many great comments where people show amazing knowledge across multiple fields.

There are many among us who keep learning new things, good at math, play a musical instrument, and manage to make truly insightful theoretical comment on an AI thread while having a full-time job?

My question is: where do you find the time?

I worked as an independent consultant for about 2.5 years and I could find the time learn new things and delving deep into topics that I liked, beyond my need.

Since I started working at a regular job in an office two months back, I don't get enough time to even watch YT videos off of the feed. With the commute, solid 8 hours at office, I barely have any cognitive or physical energy to do any mentally taxing work even if that means learning something new and exciting.

How do you peeps manage? After having a full time job, how do manage to read the latest Doctorow article, having already read Master and Margarita years back, while knowing how to play a musical instrument, and working on a cool Rust project?

How do you even manage? I feel like, if I continue full time office job, I will have to give everything else up. Is it even possible to have a full time tech job and maintaining my culture?

I used to, but can't do anymore.

I am 24, young, and naive. Please excuse my ignorance, and be kind.
Changed to that from https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/bootstrap-or-vc/ above. Thanks!
Absolutely, it's not scientific at all, but it shows the strong presence of a chauvinistic compliant population.

FWIW I think you could find similar nonsense on the streets of many (but not all) American cities. It's the kind of hubris that comes from being a huge country that is its own centre of gravity and a political leadership that runs around saying it's the "best country in the world" and stuff like that. That's how it looks from up here in Canada, anyways.

Anyways, you don't have to look at 1420, just the public pronouncements of Putin himself
It didn't go anywhere that's for sure, found an /r/NCD post speculating reasons as to why[1]. Looks like they were bought and pivoted to explosive drones somehow[2].

It's amazing that some people think this is a valid retort when Abbottabad, Pakistan is a 5 hour drive from Jalalabad, Afghanistan, and of course it's safer to hide in the country that US doesn't have access to compared to the 10 year search they've been doing in Afghanistan.
> the fact that paying huge money for tutoring only results in minor score improvements

This might be true in aggregate, but I’ve seen data that says otherwise (buddy owns a test prep school). The keys are that the student wants the test prep and that the student has room to grow (i.e., not already near the top, where increases are capped).

Middle of the pack students can gain 50-150 points per skill (this is a lot).

> the implications that poor Asian immigrants were able to outscore other demographics regardless of income, which goes against modern academia's favored nurture over nature mindset

Is this implying that Asian immigrants do better because of genetics (nature)?

The non-agenda-based research on this topic is pretty clear that Asian immigrant success is mostly about a culture of schooling and learning in Asian communities. This includes things like tutoring, “cram schools”, and test prep.

Here is an example of research/views from outside the US:

https://www.otago.ac.nz/deepsouth/vol2no1/setsuo.html

Almost all academic success is built on a culture of learning of some sort (e.g., parental involvement in schooling, reading to kids, etc.). Note that this is true regardless of race. The higher quality (non-agenda-based) research in this area all focuses on how this culture of learning can be fostered, with special focus on low SES (low socio-economic status) families regardless of race.

> destroys the basis for trillions in social programs

> Standardized tests effectively threaten the entire house of cards

Fwiw, I actually agree that a lot of research in education is non-replicable, agenda-based bullshit, but your comments here go against both the better research and fairly substantial anecdotal evidence (my buddy’s test prep program).
Ask the police chief; I'd imagine their department policy is that you can request one, given he's stating they do indeed have such a right.

If he wanted to make a "there's no right to a supervisor" argument, he should have. "You have the right, but we'll fake it" is the worst of both worlds.
Especially the CEO.
Think about how little your Congressperson knows about technology - a field you're presumably well-versed in. Then imagine if they brought that depth of knowledge to every single field they pass laws in.

"Leave it to Congress" is tantamount to deregulating literally everything.
Well, the EU is trying to launch a secure EU-wide digital identity and signature service - you might have heard of it, called EIDAS, in a different context due to the bit in Article 45. As far as I can tell, the rest of the service is a really good idea though.
I agree, but GP was pretty explicit about "no personal stuff on company devices", and I'm poking a hole in their black-and-white logic.
I like how efficient Teslas are and their class-leading range but the idiotic proliferation of touchscreens in mission-critical applications (like dashboards and control panels) is largely their fault, and they show no signs of stopping it. The new Model 3 has touch turn signals and none of the cars have had physical gear selectors for a long time because Musk thinks that they're unnecessary (lol). Why? Just why? Keeps me from buying one. Swipe to go into reverse? Really?

What's worse than that is that their fans ooh and ahh at this sort of cost-cutting nonsense because it "looks cool and futuristic" when it's far less functional (and frankly, more dangerous) than what it replaced. Apple already took their heel-turn with killing off the Touch Bar. Honda and VW both have scaled back touchscreen controls on their latest model vehicles. The F-35's touchscreen avionics have had problems and newer aircraft fielded (like the new F-15) tend to have more mechanical button backups while also retaining the advantages and flexibility of large flat-panel displays.

Musk's companies are the odd ones out here in terms of going the opposite direction. It's long overdue for them to correct this.

> A government identity to cover everything done by everyone everywhere is not. The value of cracking that system is just too high.

So the value of the system being broken is too high, yet we live in a world where it's broken, as anybody can make a photoshop of your driving license? I'm sorry I don't get the argument.
I know. Sarcasm aside though, there is a growing movement of HS and elementary school teachers looking to remove all KPIs from schools. It is very worrying that this protected class of workers are arguing they are special compared to every other problem in the world and their performance and those who they are teaching should never be measured.

The latency of passthrough video through glass windows is really good. Like way less than 1ms. Also, they’ve figured out how the passthrough keeps working even if the device isn’t powered.
Most people have retirement accounts that defer income tax, like 401k and IRA, and therefore withdrawals are categorized as ordinary income for taxation purposes, not capital gains. I would not expect the average retiree to have much or any capital gains.
> People of Ukraine did the revolution. The western backing you’re talking about was limited to vague verbal expressions of support.

Obviously no revolution can happen without popular dissatisfaction and massive popular support for an alternative. But I think the Nuland-Pyatt call leak firmly puts to bed the notion that US involvement was 'limited to vague verbal expressions of support.'

> How is that different from cars that project information on the windshield?

Are there any cars like that?

At any rate, for such cars to receive regulatory approval, they would need to be vetted to ensure that the UI elements don't exacerbate blind spots or hide critical pieces of the road, etc. The Apple UI is not designed with that in mind and may not give any such guarantees, and even if it were, it's still possible to abuse. There is also a formal process for removing such cars from the road if it turns out that they don't function as expected; whereas chasing down Apple Pro Vision users is left to the relevant highway patrol units.

Even if, in theory, the Apple device could be used safely, what happens in practice is far more important than theoretical use cases.

From Reuters article:

>Europe typically imported an average of 154,000 barrels per day (bpd) of diesel and jet fuel from India before Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

>That increased to 200,000 bpd after the European Union banned Russian oil products imports from Feb. 5, Kpler data showed.

An increase of 50,000 bpd across the whole of Europe is nothing in the grand scheme of things. India imported on average 1.76m bpd last year[0].

>Anyhow, the last time Indian listened to Western oil sanctions over Iran in the 2008-10 period [1], the Indian economy ground to a halt and had a lost decade

That sounds like a them problem? Maybe they should invest more in renewables?

>Given this context, India ain't dropping this competitive advantage.

> I'd prefer if rustlang had a standard async/await implementation rather than leaving it up to the ecosystem

The "default" is tokio, and I think even the tokio authors would agree that it's neither suitable nor ready to be part of the stdlib.

OTOH, pollster[1] (or something like it) should be pulled into the standard library. Not particularly useful for anybody who wants async, but super useful for anybody who doesn't want async but wants to use a 3rd party crate that includes async.

I do plan to use my AVP all day, at least for a while. I expect that there will be a moment where things "click". My brain will have adapter to the world with the computing overlay, and I'll be seeing a difficult (or impossible) to describe vision of the future.

That said, I don't think that'll be practical long term. I'll do it long enough to get a taste for it, then I expect that I'll be using it in my office chair 90% of the time. I am looking forward to being able to use it while traveling (while my wife is driving, on an airplane, in hotels, etc.) to access my productive environment, though. That will be its primary utilitarian use.

The reason I'm willing to spend the money is that I want to get in as early as possible on developing for the platform. I fully expect that the product line will survive and grow, and that in a handful of years they'll be smaller, lighter, cheaper, and as ubiquitous as smartphones are today. I want to be selling apps during that initial wide adoption.

I believe Stronglifts is based on the Rippetoe "Starting Strength" program and both are awesome. There are some great diagrams and theory in the book that can help you stay safe while lifting.
