Well,
are here? No. They can start to spread in few years? Yes.

Where: NOT for urban mobility despite the claims. Instead they match PERFECTLY the substantial green new deal, or the large sprawl of single family homes and small buildings because no one want flying things in a dense are, take off and landing are nightmarish etc while in a moderately spread area they are the perfect match: you have nature, space to evolve, and anything is still nearby because 60km is just 10' flight.

How? Well, at first I think not eVTOL but some VTOL with various tech, simply because the battery is too heavy to be efficient in such form, we can make eSTOL that for not-so-short range flight are nearly efficient as cars, but they can be used in a mid-dense scenario, so they are possible and practically useless.

A small note: https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/uam-full-... EU/McKinsey focused NOT on the possibility of flying stuff but on public acceptance of them. Take a serious note on that. Some small planes are already as efficient as car for many kind of flights and they do not demand the road infra from any point A and B of a flight, of course there are various constraints, but roads have others constraints as well. The reality is that we have roads because we can naturally work, ride animals who walk etc, modern era means also modern means.
There is immense crossover. In many respects its just the Musk company not SpaceX and Tesla.
They both could be faster or more resilient depending on your workload and what you want that to mean.

What is there to backdoor? Why can't businesses just pay money and get product and not overcomplicate this?
I did a lot of Googling to see if it turned up, showed it to my math teachers and my mathematician parents, sent it off to the editors, and hoped for the best. 17 years have gone by without anybody pointing out an earlier instance of the proof to me, so it seems pretty safe at this point.
Show HN: Building a GPS receiver
Hi everyone!

Shortly after publishing my iOS 4 jailbreak last October[1], I got to work on my next hobby project: a from-scratch homebrew GPS receiver, which can solve the user’s location solely from billions of radio antenna samples.

I took a commodity SDR (alongside the Python standard library and numpy) and built a signal processing pipeline that can detect and track GPS satellites over many minutes, drop and pick up satellites as they come in and out of view, and precisely determine the user’s position and clock inaccuracy.

All told, gypsum can go from a cold start to a fix on the user’s position, and the precise time, in less than a minute of listening to the antenna. I went on a journey of learning how to detect and track satellite signals that are literally too quiet to hear, and I hope that some of the magic comes through in the posts!

After implementing this myself and walking the long road of getting it working, I’m left completely stunned by the brilliance of GPS, across so many axes. I hope you enjoy the read!

On a more personal note, I’ll be starting a new job next week which isn’t as amenable to publishing side projects, and therefore this will be my last publicly-published project for some time. I’ve had great experiences making and sharing projects on here, and I’m really grateful for the positive feedback that’s been shared!

If happiness = owning a home, certainly.

Here is the study by the late great Kahneman:

Kahneman, D. & Deaton, A. (2010). High income improves evaluation of life but not emotional well-being. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1011492107

And a 2021 follow-up that addresses criticisms of the original (TLDR: if you were already happy, you get more happy > 75K. If you were unhappy, you don't get more happy > 75K.)

Killingsworth, Kahneman, M.A. (2021). Experienced well-being rises with income, even above $75,000 per year. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2016976118

Honestly it is a trust issue. I almost bought a framework laptop last year. People pitched it as a seriously viable alternative to the MacBook and applied social pressure to give it serious consideration. I realize now that it would have been a serious waste of a large amount of money and time and yes, that is a trust issue.

And you can say “well that wasn’t the official framework org” but they’re kinda holding themselves out as a serious contender (marketing on LTT etc) yet apparently don’t have things as basic as working Linux drivers (in their officially supported choice of distro)! I think there is indeed a general belief among the public that you need to at least get that far before holding yourself out for public consumption, as a non-beta product, yeah. When you do those sorts of things it’s clearly not being held out as an enthusiast device for tinkering etc, and then people will have some (reasonable) expectations that it’s gonna actually work. If not, arguably it’s FTC time at that point.

It’s kinda the same as AMD graphics drivers on windows… having the fans repeatedly insist they’ve never had a driver issue for 10 years now (when Vega, rdna1, and rdna3 all had major issues that lasted a significant amount of time) does destroy trust among the public when they try it and see it’s not true. Nothing feels worse than recommending them to a friend based on seeming internet consensus and having them have problems over the advice I gave them. Spent a lot of time trying to debug remotely and get their 5700xt working etc, never did, they ended up selling and buying a 2060S that worked perfectly, and I’ve never trusted the fans again.

The boy who cried wolf is a cultural touchstone for a reason, we don’t like being called to action for something that turns out to be untrue. And spending a lot of money to learn that lesson generally does create a trust issue that turns people off with these brands.
Thank you for the clarification!

> It may make more sense to create pointers here but that's a larger change to deal with and ensure correctness versus just swapping the vector out for another list. I don't claim to like that solution but it seems to me like legacy C++ code in general is fragile enough as it is,

That's more than fair enough. In such code, more often than not, you make what you think is a small change, and you end up with an entire cascade of unexpected side-effects that pop-up because the original assumptions and the testing scope of those assumptions were lost. A can of worms best left unopened.

By the way, wouldn't such an error be something that gets detected by the "new" ASAN functionality that has been added to the newer MSVC toolchain you are using?
With GPT-3, I enjoyed playing around with prompting with a falsehood given as the factual past in order to see what continuation it would come up with. This worked best with early systems that only wanted to complete the text you gave it and wasn't trained as an AI assistant question answerer.

For example, you could coerce it into finding funny responses in a real conversation. "My friend said x. What I said next made him actually laugh so hard he fell out of his chair. I said [prompt ends]

I believe this method was much more effective for generating these kind of ideas. It's forced to find realistic ideas since, in the data, beginning a paragraph with that would usually end with something relevant and actually funny.

But unfortunately it seems like this is no longer going to be possible due to how new LLMs are trained.
So one of the most "out there" non-fiction books I've read recently is called "Alien Information Theory". It's a wild ride and there's a lot of flat-out crazy stuff in it but it's a really engaging read. It's written by a computational neuroscientist who's obsessed with DMT. The DMT parts are pretty wild, but the computational neuroscience stuff is intriguing.

In one part he talks about a thought experiment modeling the universe as a multidimensional cellular automata. Where fundamental particles are nothing more than the information they contain. And particles colliding is a computation that tells how that node and the adjacent nodes to update their state.

Way out and not saying there's anything truth to it. But it was a really interesting and fun concept to chew on.
The people here "concerned" about immigration are starting a conversation about how points based, highly selective visas for educated, experienced professionals, coming to work in fields the homegrown population don’t, need to be made a lot stricter... using chaos with student visas as the justification. Just what?

The problems with the economy you're mentioning are because of the exact reasons I mentioned - Australia and Canada are simple aren't competitive, dynamic economies, they're essentially glorified banana republics trying to pretend you can have a healthy economy based on resource extraction, fixing up each others houses for tax breaks, with a sprinkling of property developers building condos for foreign investors on top.

"resource extractions and the trades are some of the most objectively productive sectors of the population" "why are all these Australians working in a different line of work than me, maybe they know something I don’t" <-- this is comical, and so is attributing policies failing to immigration and immigrants.

In any case, people who think like you are in control so congrats and good luck with it.
Even so, if the paradigm shift occurs most of us will be summarizing the manufactured pap via an LLM. Our time won’t be wasted in that case.

No clue how this all ends, but I can’t see any reason for websites to exist anymore. We’ll be going from one black prompt screen LLM with a Reddit logo on the top left, to another tab with the same LLM with a Medium logo on the top left.

Seems pointless, just combine it and list the sources.

That's such a fantastic movie. Of course Will is a special case and is a gifted person, but the line at the bar early in the movie:

> You wasted $150,000 on an education you could've got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.

Is just fantastic. A public library isn't a complete replacement for a college education, but in terms of knowledge gained, books are the _core_ of learning. Most of the learning I did in college came from reading a text book, or the instructor going over information in the text book. Assignments are important to help apply ideas, but many books have problem sets too.

Books (and other resources like video these days) are such an incredibly valuable resource and we've done a great job at making them available via libraries (of course there are the issues we hear about with publishers trying to fight against libraries, but in general, libraries are still fantastic). Reading has been a key to my educating myself post university. The only thing more valuable that I've found is real world experience.
Hey, this is my post from 2021, when I was testing Python2.7 and Python3.6 with Cosmopolitan Libc on an old 4-thread Haswell. It's now a lot easier to build Python (and gcc, gnu coreutils, curl etc.), and the binaries are faster, multi-threaded, and quite convenient to use. There are lots of interesting directions to explore when it comes to building software with Cosmopolitan Libc.
> Like everything else with Tesla this is mostly an exercise in Who Can Best Express the Situation as a Confirmation of Priors.

Man that's so true, and something incredibly frustrating about the discourse around Tesla (and Elon Musk more generally). The discussion is dominated by people who either worship the ground Elon walks on, or who think he's a cartoon villain. Neither is true, of course. But most of the time, those are the framings which dominate. I really hate it.

I am not sure how people are not making the connection but this is directly tied to the economy and interest rates. Unprofitable platforms or barely profitable had relied on advertising before interest rates go up. Advertisers are increasing their costs and platforms can only insert more ads anywhere they can. Roku anyone?

The key point is platforms are fully aware of what they are doing and understand that this will drive users away but that is the point. If you can't fire enough people, sell enough ads or reduce enough product maintenance in your business then the next step is to fire your end users.
I don't really care about grammar so long as the point is communicated. Some people are trying to write in a non-native language, or just need a bit of help. Whatever tooling that helps improve communication is great, I think the content is more important than the language used to communicate it.

Also your point could be made equally well about people using spellcheck.
I actually have no problem with this because Dell/Lenovo/HP software and firmware is a mess. I suspect the issue is that the underlying platform is shit and a mess and this is being reflected in the software.

At least Framework are trying, unlike Dell/Lenovo/HP.
With Turso you get an sqlite database behind a SDK or an (HTTP REST) API endpoint.

With Neon you get a postgresql database over a postgres wire format connection.

So if you have an already existing app speaking postgres to a database somewhere, Neon is a drop-in-replacement, while Turso would require adapting to their custom API.

If you are creating a new service, you might need/want to take advantage of e.g postgres extensions [0] for storing geographical data or pg_vector for similarity searches etc. Or you simply need more stringent serialisability promises than what libsql / turso can provide.

But if you just writing something new from scratch and have "simple" demands, I think something like Turso looks cool (and cheap!).

The annoyingness to relevance ratio of twitch ads might be the best of any video platform. I find about one in five interesting. By contrast, I can't recall a single time YouTube has shown me anything interesting, relevant, or useful (lucky if it's not a downright scam), despite probably having seen ~100x more ads on YouTube than on Twitch.

I also appreciate that Twitch still displays the stream while ads play.

For foreign films, you might check out your local university. I've found many of the foreign language departments have a fairly decent dvd/blu-ray library that students can check out. I know alumni usually have access to the libraries too, and if you aren't either, I've found some will work with local libraries for inter-library loans.

As someone who was a passenger in a vehicle that had a stuck accelerator, going at highway speed, approaching a busy intersection, I suggest that you are dramatically trivializing the problem.

We probably had a couple of seconds before multiple people were gonna be dead-dead.

People don’t always think, or act, in the most sensible way in an emergency. In this case, the driver overshot neutral and threw the vehicle into reverse. We spun out and needed up in the ditch.

You're demonstrating the problem with speaking overly generally.

I too "find it within the realm of acceptable that a $30,000 car would have issues that should absolutely not be present on a $100,000 car". If, say, a plastic piece on the dashboard tends to develop an unsightly crack over time, that's more ok for a $30k car than for a $100k car.

But some design issues should be present on no car; not a $30k car, not a $100k car, not a $5k car. "The car sometimes accelerates on its own" is one of these.
You can demand perfection in planes. That will likely raise their price and operating costs. in which case more people will drive causing more, not less deaths.

That isn't to say we shouldn't always try to make them safer. But if you put every passenger in a pod like the president in "Escape from New York" you'll make planes safer and still cause more death
My biggest gripe is that for something intended to be DIY upgradable, 2 years later, there is a complete lack of ecosystem and parts for it.

I was hoping for pluggable modules for {IMU, GPS, barometer, geiger counter, air quality sensor, software-defined radio, 5G cellular, RGB LEDs, power-over-ethernet charging, even a small motor module so the laptop can drag itself around on the table}. And what do we get? Some stupid 2nd hand USB-C passthrough and HDMI modules.

Not even a 2-USB-C module that the forums have been asking for ages.

Not even a Dvorak keyboard.

No e-Ink display option. No flush mount bezel option.

No multiple camera options. No depth camera. No LIDAR. No 4K webcam. No low-light StarVis webcam. No stereo cam. No infrared webcam.

No nothing. The ecosystem doesn't even exist.

I was hoping for this to be the Raspberry Pi of laptops with a huge pile of parts on SeeedStudio and AliExpress that you can plug into it.
It is bizarre if you don't take it quite literally. In practice, it is possible, even for seasoned writers, to sometimes create sentences that could use a bit of attention. If Grammarly is the right tool for that can be debated, but that is the case for any tool.

I feel like your response is along the lines of "programmers shouldn't use syntax highlighting" and similar arguments against tooling.

Then there are also the folks out there who want to publish their writings in English, but for who English is not their native language. They might use sentence structures that don't work quite as well in English as they do in their native language.

It's handy to have brakes and acceleration when you want to spin the tires (2wd).

Sometimes necessary for tricky hill starts, I won't fully remove the brake until I feel the accelerator moving the car forward, but that should fit within the GP's 'little bit'. EVs should be easier on hill starts because there's potential for less latency between input and power delivery, but I dunno; I don't care for driving east across downtown Seattle regardless of if I'm in an all gas or a PHEV.
I think it's a good complement.

If LLMs are akin to a "low resolution jpeg of the internet", RAGs allow checking of facts.
It isn’t ever trivial for two simple reasons:

- it’s not something that happens regularly so drivers are not prepared for it

- it can cause disaster in literal seconds (or even a single second)

It doesn’t matter how easy it is to mitigate if there is going to be a delay in most drivers deploying that mitigation.

Thank you for your comment. These are all great points. I absolutely appreciate #1. #2 is a bit harder to accept as it implies I don't have agency. I always had the dogma that my hard work would make a difference from the perspective of financial success. And it has made a difference no doubt. The thing that has preoccupied my thinking is the magnitude. We're talking 100 to 1 when it comes to the impact of luck vs. hard work. This is a bit unsettling for me. Cest la vie I guess.
> when i wrote my very first ray tracer it didn't take me an entire weekend

It’s just a catchy title. You can implement the book in an hour or two, if you’re uncurious, or a month if you like reading the research first. Also maybe there are meaningful differences in the feature set such that it’s better not to try to compare the time taken? The Ray Tracing in One Weekend book does start the reader off with a pretty strong footing in physically based rendering, and includes global illumination, dielectric materials, and depth of field. It also spends a lot of time building an extensible and robust foundation that can scale to a more serious renderer.
