What do you say to Tesla's claim that IIHS officially tests simulated crossing children and Tesla models successfully avoid the crash?

Home-made tests are pretty easy to game, there could have been hundreds of attempts and these are the only that failed.

If ending my Apple Music subscription was going to shift the future to be one where I can conveniently self-host or access a similar but open non-corporate implementation of a global music discovery service with a good an unencumbered recommendation algorithm and player, I would happily do so. Unfortunately I'm forced to live in reality, so I know those things aren't connected at all and I'll just be degrading my own experience for no reason.
I enjoyed watching combat sports for a number of years, but I turned it off awhile back: fighters not showing restraint when the other is down, refs not jumping in quick enough, and not enough TKOs being called.

The difference between fighting someone and maiming them is a single punch.
I don't follow MMA, but I picked up Ronda Rousey's first book, My Fight/Your Fight and couldn't put it down. I then listened to it on audiobook, which she narrates with style and ease. Her story is absolutely incredible, and she and her ghostwriter do a great job sharing it. The first book is all about what it takes to be a fighter, with Rousey undefeated, at the height of her career. Ronda is adorable and terrifying, inspiring and impressive through and through.

I just got her second book, which addresses what it was like to get beaten after going 15:0, then beaten again. I think she's going to talk about finding a way forward after her whole identity was being a fighter. I started today and can't wait to get into it.

A feature I'd appreciate from Val Town is the ability to point it to a GitHub repo that I own and have it write the source code for all of my Vals to that repo, on an ongoing basis.

Then I could use GitHub code search, or even "git pull" and run ripgrep.
This may come as little to no consolation, however I'm in a very similar boat. Left employment over a year ago, and while I don't regret that per-say it definitely wasn't the time for me to try my hand at a startup.

I put feelers out for a CEO/sales type founder leading up to this but came up empty handed. Decided to take the plunge anyway and work on finding funding and partner opportunities along the way. Built out an MVP over the past year, tried shopping around for opportunity, and came up empty.

A lot of this is due to me, having recognized early on but now having fully accepted, not being that CEO/Sales type and having limited success trying to force myself into that role. We would 100% need such a person, with connections, on board to raise and handle business development to move forward. Particularly in this climate.

Now to stop the savings burn, and for family reasons, I'm entering the job market again. And it's ROUGH. Two years ago and for the decade before I would have recruiters reaching out constantly. Two years ago I had easy job opportunities through my network. Now, it's been hard to get on the phone with even 4-5 interested parties in 2-3 weeks of actively seeking. And two of those are through HN who wants to be hired, and 2 are through recruiters I've previously worked with. The interview processes are SLOW right now too; companies dragging their heals and indulging in the glut of options.

I'm happy for those reporting the market is fine for them. But for myself with 14 YOE, "name brand" previous employers, successful startup exit experience, and a somewhat significant body of work on GitHub it's very cold out there ATM. Same story for many I know, even on the hiring side; a friend trying to get more head count for over a year now in a good sized, growing, and successful startup.
Accounting data is so compact that the word “comparably” is doing all the heavy lifting in that statement. A large accounting system certainly prefers to have large main memory, but even in the worst case scenario, we read from persistent storage at GB/sec and the processor has no trouble keeping up. You don’t have to get particularly smart to operate a billion-row ledger; only beyond that does it start to be interesting.

It really does depend on what your water source is and the pipes from there to your tap. For example, the Hetch Hetchy water that supplies San Francisco and some other parts of the Bay Area is very pure. Reverse osmosis is not going to remove much of anything. Davis water, or San Jose water, well, that's a little different.

The other thing about RO water systems is that they are not very efficient. For every gallon of pure(-ish) water that a home system generates, it typically has to throw away 5 gallons of salty water.
They are already in the water, and they are not going away, hence the name.

> “Scientists could be a step closer to solving the mystery of how the surface of the moon got its weathered and cratered appearance”

Is this really a mystery? Earth gets hit every day by tons of micrometeorites, most of which burn up in the atmosphere before ever hitting what we call ground or “the surface.”

The moon has no atmosphere, so the obvious conclusion is that anything that encounters the moon ends up hitting its surface head-on.

This is made clear by the spectral imaging and false color maps used to analyze the make-up of the moon’s surface. [0]

Every crater is essentially within a larger crater.

I wouldn't call myself as particular on train maintenance...but consider that these trains are run more or less continuously. You thrash your car in seasonally tough conditions every morning, but these drive all day and most of the night. So, I'm not sure if the comparison is apt on these grounds.

A cursory search suggests that quite a few manufacturers design for light rail car lifetimes of 25-30 years, not forty. These tend to be of European origin, which tracks San Francisco switching from an Italian to a German vendor. I don't see evidence that it's a common practice to significantly extend the tenure of those devices there nor here.

Funnily enough, I see no problems with the Breda trains personally as a passenger. But once they've shaken out the major bugs, the Siemens train reliability is anticipated to be triple or more. It may not make sense to design a traincar for a fifty year term.

3x performance but >3x TDP. Am I missing something or is that unimpressive?
It definitely sees it in the later ones. I’m wondering if the confidence is too low to trigger the system, to prevent a phantom brake, maybe from the “child” moving in an impossible way (statically sliding across the ground). I would assume this is similar to the crash test setup though. It would be really interesting to get a deep dive into the cause.
Maybe when you wrote it, but the time between writing and recording is pretty big. I don't see why it matters anyway, it's not like anyone can tell the difference. Is an actor really feeling the emotions? Does it matter if the performance is good? Of course it doesn't.
Yeah I agree. I've had a lot of practice so far with coordinating between hundreds of thousands of tables to ensure ingestion/lookup is fast. Everything boils down to optimizing for your query patterns.

I also believe in using what I call "compass tables" (like your summarization tables), which I guess are indexes of indexes.

Lentils are a good source of proteins and are about twice cheaper than the cheapest meat, but like any non-processed vegetables they have a too high ratio between energy and protein content.

For a sedentary life style it is impossible to compose a vegan diet that has enough proteins without containing too much energy.

It is necessary to use at least one protein source where a special method has been used to separate the proteins from the rest of the vegetable.

There are plenty of such products on the market, like tofu and various protein extracts, but all of them are much more expensive than chicken meat. At the tofu price mentioned by another poster it is 2.5 times more expensive than chicken breast, while other kinds of protein extracts that I have seen around are 5 times more expensive than chicken breast.

The discussion was strictly about how to get vegan proteins cheaper than meat. When you are willing to pay many times more than for meat, then of course it is trivial to eat a vegan diet.

Because all commercial products are more expensive than meat, the only other way is to extract vegetable protein at home. I am aware of only a single source of vegetable proteins where the proteins can be separated without any special equipment or chemicals (excluding soy, which is expensive in Europe), and that is wheat flour, from which the gluten can be separated from starch by simple washing.
Does that mean these have better refresh rates than other color eink screens? Lower contrast is not the end of the world for me, but a 15 second refresh time is :)

It's quite ironic that rural living is devolved to processed food garbage in America. I come from rural Poland, vegetables were very much on the table every day be it fresh or pickled. Rural regions are the ones that should be more capable of being self-sufficient compared to say a city because you actually have fucking land.
Which city? Tap water quality varies between cities.

For nonstick/waterproof/hydrophobic coatings to not slowly shed from whatever they're applied to and end up in the water, they'd need to not be applied in the first place. Not having them is cheaper than having them, but we'll be wet (which occasionally leads to hypothermia) and we'll need to revert back to pans seasoned the old fashioned way (less convenient, careful washing).
> people saying it's too expensive

Always found that argument very strange - if it's too expensive to be healthy and alive, what the fuck is the money for?
Iterating over the `char`s does not support the full range of what can be stored in a C# string (for instance, UTF-8 graphemes that are serialized as surrogate pairs are usually two `char`s in a C# string.

.Net provides a TextElementEnumerator that will iterate over graphemes instead: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globaliz...

There's a fairly comprehensive guide to working with .net character encodings at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types... .
Well, I'll agree on one thing, weighing in

> without having a good understanding of the situation

does seem problematic.
Yeah, the refresh times are much better now. They used to be 10-30 seconds but are now manageable. I think it might be a little slower than B/W, definitely not 30 seconds. Some color eink displays even offer video, with different settings for higher fidelity/slower frame rate versus lower-fidelity/faster frame rate.
The Fairbuds retail for more, and I'd wager they have smaller margins, so the cost is much higher. That alone implies a higher environmental cost upfront.
> You certainly can just throw things out there, but if you are obsessed with making every single person satisfied with your thoughts, you are going to have a bad time

I think you nailed it on the head here, though. At a young age, we often don't carry the self confidence or self awareness to stand by our thoughts or opinions (and really, for good reason -- it's a good time to learn!). We have no sense of self or conviction at that age, despite the very unfair way popular media portrays teens (e.g. as mature adults with fully formed sense of self).

But the net result of what GP was mentioning is this lack of self confidence + an overly hostile online conversation definitely makes the resultant introversion/misplaced self worth make a lot of sense.

I regularly throw my opinions in discussions online, and often (not most the time, but often), get "downvoted" into oblivion. Part of that is that I like to play devil's advocate or I engage folks who don't agree with me, but part of it is also being a 41 year old person who honestly doesn't give a shit if they have a "popular" opinion, just a well-reasoned one. I chock that up to being roughed up by the world for a bit.
No you can't. You can, through usage over a long period of time, and by ignoring a lot of good advice, create problems for yourself just like anything else.

If a table saw could only remove your hand after years of dedicated usage, then sawstop wouldn't be the obviously good idea it is.

I quit using Total Commander because it didn't work like this. This is software that works the way I think. I discovered this feature 30 years ago because I thought that was the way it should work...and it did.

I've had a lot of concussions as well. Actually, I'm pretty sure I don't even know. We only really deemed them concussions if you blacked out. And I did that a lot. I've lost weeks of memory and my life to them. I have no idea how many 'lesser' concussions I've had, likely in the hundreds to low thousands.

One thing I've not seen discussed here is the emotional side of recovery. I pretty much was manic-depressive. I would have just the highest highs. I've never felt better in my life before or since. Just felt like everything was great and that the world was amazing. And then I would have the lowest lows. Suicidal ideation, couldn't get out of bed, loosing friends, unfortunately typical stuff. I'd laugh at really weird things, I'd get angry at normal stuff. My brain was making me crazy and it took a toll of myself and those around me. I'm better now, but it took years of healing and mostly bumbling along.

Sure, yeah, I had (and still do) problems with memory, vision, and hearing. But for me, it was the emotional stuff that was most surprising. I don't tend to see a lot of that in anecdotes and research.

I know that I'm likely going to end up with dementia or something worse. I know I'm going to loose my marbles. And I'm still trying to make peace with that. I don't know if I ever really will. Any tips here would be appreciated.

If anyone else with a lot of concussions wants to chime in on their experiences, I'm happy to chat here.

Sorry, this comment is kinda strange.

Every time someone on HN praises Flutter for being the best way to do UI’s, I shudder to think of all the conveniences I’m used to (on both windows and macOS, I’ve used a lot of both) that are likely completely ignored or forgotten by these UI’s as they struggle to reinvent the user interface from scratch.

The UI’s of the 1990s were often designed using actual user studies, with years of hard-fought learning on how to do things in a way that is discoverable, Accessible, and with effective shortcuts for power users. I worry we’re losing all of this as we reinvent the UI without understanding what we’re rewriting.

You say "not efficient" when it's more like an extra 1-2 gallons waste, and yet the outcome is much cleaner water that makes up a large portion of your biology. I'd say that's a pretty efficient way to be healthier, especially when drinking water is a very tiny sliver of water consumption. The average person uses 3,000 gallons of water a month and you're sweating an extra 5 gallons for drinking?
When I started using the www the term "API" referred to functions in programming languages not to httpd configurations. It has been bizarre to see the appearance of this terminology to refer to websites.

In every instance I have seen, the free "web API" involves an extra HTTP header(s) that, in lieu of a common one such as "User-Agent", can be used to track, rate-limit and/or selectively block a www user.

The upside of the "web API" idea IMO is the serving of public information in formats other than HTML or PDF. It's great.

But why not just do this without using the extra HTTP header(s), tracking and limitations.
