> We still have parks like that too. Gates of the Arctic and Isla royale come to mind as inaccessible, and both are tragically undervisited / unknown as a result.

Undervisited is a good thing for what remaining wilderness we have.
That was quite contrary to my understanding, so I took some more time to verify both my and your claim. The reality turned out to be somewhere in the middle: modern mobile SoCs do ship with hardware JPEG decoding among others, but there is no direct API for that hardware decoding module in the mobile platform itself (Android 7 and onwards use libjpeg-turbo by default, for example). But mobile manufacturers can change the implementation details behind those APIs, so it is still true that some mobiles do use hardware JPEG decoding behind the scene. But it is hard to tell how common it is. So well, thank you for the counterpoint---that corrected my understanding.
Mass transit is great when it's available, which means in places of high density, which is why you list Asia and Europe. It's right there in the name.

I live in Europe in a village of about 1500 people are there is no usable public transport (2 buses a day).

Relative to total area, mass transit is almost nowhere. That's also true for for total road kilometers.

I agree with your last sentence, but for those who live outside of cities or other places of high density, public transport is unusable or unavailable. Governments roundly ignore people who live in these places (due to expense and political irrelevance) so there is always a fairly decent percentage of the population that is "public transport poor".

Why does AGI infer outperforming any humans? Half the humans on the planet perform worse than the average human. Does that make them non-intelligent?
"Eventually, when the black holes are close enough together, their gravitational attraction should take over, and the black holes collide and merge just like the black holes that collided to create them did. The question is, could some supermassive black holes be so massive such a collision is stalled?"

Maybe such massive event horizons are "bouncy" and they need some kind of synchronization to merge?
Thank the "regulatory state". The problem angle of attack widget is required to be redundant in the US - but not on all export cheaper models. This is why the crashes happened abroad.

You're correct, but it is true that 35 mph would be roughly double the kinetic energy, which probably matters for accidents.
It’s a Ford.
> Do they really drive that slow... Or just, like, the speed limit? Or generally safe(r) driving speeds? All things equal, slower is safer!

So i have no idea about Waymo, but man i can only imagine how much drivers will rage over them the more of them there are. God knows they'll go the speed limit, and so many drivers absolutely loathe that.

As it is, i drive 5 over just to reduce the insanity of people passing/etc. Which, i still get aggressively passed quite a bit, but that 5mph matters. I'm used to drivers going ~10-15mph over the limit, and every mph under +10 is a significant problem for them.

I look forward to these on that point alone. The more cars there are on the road normalizing ideal speeds (whatever they may be) the better. People are far too aggressive on the road in my experience. At least as a WA native.

I would say you are using the words "explicitly tasked" when the articles of incorporation use the words "seek to" and "when applicable". (And also the "allowing competition" part I don't think is actually in the mix, is there a citation for that?)

""The Founding Agreement was also memorialized, among other places, in OpenAI, Inc.’s December 8, 2015 Certificate of Incorporation, which affirmed that its “resulting technology will benefit the public and the corporation will seek to open source technology for the public benefit when applicable. The corporation is not organized for the private gain of any person.”""

That said, I was only commenting on the idea that creating a for-profit wing was adding to the unusual corporate structure of OpenAI and saying that it really didn't.
And would you work as much unpaid overtime as you would with a salaried 5 day work week job when pressured to by your boss, owner and peers?
There are ways to solve this without killing off the ability to root phones if this was really about users' safety.

You could for example make it so that phones could only be unlocked within a few days of the purchase (first boot) date, and put a scary warning on it. That'd put a stop to 99% of people being tricked into unlocking it.

You could also put a scary warning on boot that allowed anyone to tell it was rooted to stop people selling them while rooted.

The point of blocking rooted phones isn't "security", it's to maintain control of the user experience.
Fun stuff!

The underlying `swtl` library is itself pretty interesting.

Note the use of `delayed(...)` in the blog's example code: a promise in a tagged template.

SWTL's `html` allows for this (I think the blog's example follows the simple case here https://github.com/thepassle/swtl/blob/main/html.js#L23). And SWTL's `render` method races the promises (https://github.com/thepassle/swtl/blob/main/render.js#L120) outward.
You might be right for small stuff, but I’ve done extensive refactoring with it and anything beyond a single line completion takes noticeable time gaps.
i love your pricing!
I expect it'll help - though. Ie reduce the average, making more lanes of traffic safer by body blocking the speeders.

Though, I do expect there to be an initial surge of aggression when people are forced to reduce their speeds by 15mph.

> Most of the work is preventative.

Current work culture is bizarre in cyber security. I am not personally very fan of it.

Nobody wants to work on defensive side. You are not getting either fame or money if you do your work well. The expectation is that you do your work perfectly. There is no actually measurements in place to prove that your good code prevented 100 data breaches!

But on the other hand, if you are on offensive side, sometimes find cool bugs, you get fame and money. Does not matter if there is a long break sometimes. Your goodness is measures based on how much money you got.

What does it mean? People start doing bug bounties. They hoard tools only for themselves to make more money, instead of releasing them to improve general security. They keep small bugs themselves so that they can be used in exploit chains to get bigger bounties.

If the reputation of the company is based on the participations of the bug bounty program, they start doing less and less in-house engineering and outsource the cyber security testing for bug bounty platforms.

And vicious cycle starts.

I don't have solid data but for "core" mature software written in c/c++ like browsers and Linux, I feel like I see far more high profile security bugs from the lack of memory safety rather than something like "Linux failed to enforce the existing permissions".

Cities have less environmental impact, streets offer easier movement, and bicycles are probably the most efficient way of a human being moving.

I'm not sure how designing communities where private automobiles are a necessity improved upon communities where they are optional nice-to-haves.

s/naive/compromised/ <- fixed that for you
Good question!

- Transparency about the work.
(Communicate progress without being prompted. Share screenshots & be excited about what you develop!)

- Don't be a hero. (If something is difficult, collaborate with the team and don't go it alone.)

- Be minimal. (Development is an additive process, and it's easy to "chrome plate" a development story. Be minimal and discuss above & beyond opportunities with the team before working on them [or just create a ticket for later discussion].)

- Don't compromise quality. (It's easy to want to skip tests or refactor later, but that carries invisible costs & churn during PRs.)

- Refactor as you go, but don't over do it. (Nobody likes a 1000 line PR. A major refactor means large code change [risk], large review, churn on correcting the PR, long time before feature is merged, ...)

- Solicit feedback when you do want to cut corners. (Explain what the cost is in a quick implementation and why it's a good idea to implement minimally at this phase. Identify ways to mitigate risk / make refactor simple later.)

- Don't overwork. (Developers tend to work harder in off hours and burn themselves out. What they don't realize is that their total contributions to the team go down significantly when they overwork.)

- Be honest. (In a team development setting, some folks will communicate that they're further along on a story than they actually are, with the intention of making up the development effort. This causes overwork -- and the rest of the team can pick up on the dishonesty. I would rather have a member of my team say that they're having an issue with solving a problem [or there are external life factors] than feeling like they have to go it alone.)

- Ask for what you need. (Organizations can easily pull developers into meetings and monopolize their time. Push back and ask for focus blocks.)

- Be candid in retrospectives. (It's the one venue where management is literally asking you what could be better. So many times, people are waiting for someone else to speak before they voice their opinions. Have a conversation with a team member before retro to validate your opinions if you are self-conscious about them.)

- Be candid in 1:1s with your management. (Typical management will lose the developer perspective and rely on feedback to be able to adjust team policies. If there's no feedback, then problems fester.)

--

I get that this list leans on being extroverted -- and that some folks are introverted. It's totally a vulnerable position to put your hard work / opinions out in front of a team for review. It's even more intimidating (impostor syndrome) when you're working with really smart people.

A good manager will mentor their staff on how to follow through on these expectations, and will also actively work to make the team environment a safe space for constructive conversation.

There's a lot more micro nuance depending on the team and business environment, but generally, I believe this is a good starting point.
Note that LIPICs [1] publishes the conference ECOOP chaired by Jonathan Aldrich. It is a very interesting alternative to ACM for conference proceedings: it hosts some great conferences and it has lower APCs. It does not publish journals though.

Nope. Cars are expensive. Waymo won't keep a bunch of extras sitting around just so that they have reserve capacity to scale up service during unusually busy events. It's more profitable just to make customers wait, or ask them to pay a higher fare for priority service.
The cars could see you at one moment, and then not see you the next. They lack any good object permanence unlike humans, so I'm not sure surfacing this information would help.

I couldn't care less if there's a group of people misusing the phrase, logically "I could care less" means the exact opposite of "I couldn't care less".

The majority of the world is not American, and presumably the majority of Americans don't use the incorrect phrase, so why should the rest of the world cater for a minority within a minority by putting their butchered phrase on equal footing with the correct phrase?

He hand makes everything, but don't let the old timey hat and pants fool you, he's spent a ton of time thinking about how the old methods work and why, and picking through multiple cultures that have had old wooden structures that last hundreds or even thousands of years for the techniques he's using.

Personal perspective: I took the money I've save toward home and put them into stocks (large semiconductors), made 35% of realized gains and had 89%/11% gain/loss in 3 months. It is absolutely exhausting and nerve racking experience. One day you wake up and see that your account dropped by -$15k, because feds posted numbers that market didn't like.
Traded only stocks, using very conservative margin, kept gains in stocks. Getting a large sum in few months had the opposite effect on me of what I was expecting: I became more irritated and depressed.

What you see on wallstreetbets are survivors/extremely lucky individuals. Even those who posted large gains, often digging themselves from previous large losses. It is a gamble.

Ask HN: Any Interesting Study Hacks?
Hi guys,

The good study hack I have come across the yields deterministic results is the use of space repetition for memorising items. It's is way more effective than middles practice routine practise/revision.

I think the only others I know is about the best way to learn a new programming language/technology or technology.

Which is stay away from videos, restrict yourself to written content. And build something you you find interesting. I heard it also works for learning a real language (you want to learn Spanish, date a native Spanish speaker and try to exclusively communicate with them in Spanish, it's also how kids learn new languages). It's way more effective than sitting in a Spanish class our using some app.

What other study hacks do you know of that outperform traditional methods of study or teaching?
It is still a fun novelty mode of ride with limited supply and is priced accordingly and is not a mass transport option yet. Once the supply of cars rises the prices will fall to establish a new equilibrium hopefully much lower than Uber.
How is "Because the NSO group handles dollars" related to "the court could order any assets the US can get their hands on seized"? Presumably, if they were getting paid in bars of gold, the US could seize those too, if they could get their hands on them, no?

On the other hand, if they were paid in US dollars, but in cash, that wouldn't establish jurisdiction, nor could it be seized, if the transfer happened outside US territory?
I remember older Microsoft documentation being just like that.

apple focused on ecosystem to make it a hard choice. after all, what’s bad with being locked in paradise? at least that’s somewhat the intent, put a bit darkly - make you forget there’s anything out there, because you are perfectly happy in here, and never mind the locked door.
I'd say this is not a cynical view at all, rather a quite realistic one.

They only added support for push notifications to iOS in 2023 (7 years after Firefox and 8 years after Chrome on Android), right after the UK regulator started its investigation in mobile ecosystems.

No, you can reasonably expect an open source company to open their source. Allowing you and everyone else to benefit from the work. The lawsuit is because all of the competing companies should not need to be wasting money catching up, when the goal was for everyone to be building from OpenAI's work.
