This was the article headline from NYPost(yay oil lobby funding anti-EV right wing media posted on HN):

"Latest recall at Elon Musk’s Tesla affecting 2.2M vehicles over warning lights"

The recall over "warning lights" turned out be a font size increase in the UI on the screen. I guess it's a light because pixels glow.

This was CNN's headline:

"Tesla recalls nearly all 2 million of its vehicles on US roads"

CNN doesn't like Tesla as well.

Do you think NYPost or the CNN shouldn't have added 'software' in the headline, perhaps before the word recall?

Why or why not?

Not even saying it should be 'over-the-air software recall'.

It can't be a space issue, NYPost found the space to add "Elon Musk" to the headline to fuel extra negativity and the CNN's headline is short.
This protest did have a cost for them - they were fired.

> So you will need to know C++ if we want to be the cutting edge and need extreme performance.

I would suggest a better phrasing might be that you should learn C++ if you want to cling to existing software in the state it is today, certain that history ended yesterday and the future is just the same forever from here on.

You won't get "extreme performance" from C++ because it is buried under the weight of decades of compatibility hacks.

Show HN: LLM Audit – Report LLM usage across your org's codebases
When I make a request, Meta begins to answer it (I can see the answer appear) and almost immediately, a negative response shows up indicating they’re working on it (ex: I ask if it’s capable of working in French, Meta indicates that it can, the message disappears and is replaced by “I don’t understand French yet, but I’m working on it. I will send you a message when we can talk in French”). What gives?
This is both their biggest strength and weakness

The points to comments ratio on the first few on the list are out of whack.

I’m pretty sure if # of comments exceeds the number of upvotes, the story is down-weighted automatically.

Flagging stories also automatically downweights if enough people flag, I believe

That’s not the only variable though.

In today's fast-paced work environment, efficiency is key. With overflowing inboxes, tight deadlines, and a constant influx of tasks, maximizing productivity can be a significant challenge. Fortunately, the advent of advanced language models offers a powerful solution to help alleviate this burden. These cutting-edge technologies can act as virtual assistants, streamlining countless processes and saving precious time.
If you could stuff all webpages to a vector database and give us a nice RAG that just responds to questions about anything that could be found on Internet while generating links to the source, that would be even awesomer!
Tesla is no longer a leader in innovation, their vehicles couldn’t even do V2L/V2G until the CyberTruck.
Well, I also don't believe that's correct. But if it is, and you have a chance of peacefully extinguishing those, you'd be a fool not to.

(That said, there has been examples in history when that happened. Of course, such corporation-like structures were only terminated by war. I really don't think we are anywhere near that today.)

Meh, Zizek may be redundant and attention-seeking, but I wouldn't call him a quack. He has done some legitimate work, even if I definitely wouldn't call myself a fan.

I like his books, but someone like Alan Watts is much more prone to quackery, IMO.
Exactly, and that's how it should be. But all too often (both with this protest and earlier ones at Google), the people who receive consequences seem shocked about being fired.
FWIW, even if the accelerator pedal is stuck or misread in the Cybertruck, the brake pedal immediately overrides any input from it and stops accelerating.
They didn't know (expect?) that will happen when they started the protest.
> "My fear," confessed Torvalds, "Is that RISC-V will make all the same mistakes that everybody else did before them." Why? Well, first, "hardware people are different from software people. There's a fairly big gulf between them." In addition, hardware developers reinvent old ways of doing things and only learn by making all the same mistakes that have been made before. It's sad, but true.

Uhh... This is what software developers also do. All the time. For example see the js ecosystem, PHP, Ruby on rails, golang, object relational mapping, user interface code over the past 60 years (three times reinventing the wheel!), build systems, etc.

How to Detect If Your Startup Has a Faux Focus
I agree with you - though one mechanism for implied and unintended collusion would be rental pricing services that are widely used by landlords and might cause prices to converge or be self-reinforcing. I don't believe this argument, but I do think it merits consideration and counterargument.

That is, it needn't be explicit collusion where thousands of landlords get together - it might just be because they're all using the same price forecasting service.

Sorry, I made a mistake. I meant Wittgenstein, not Kant, who wrote one of the premier works of philosophical nonsense: the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus [1]. I believe that Wittgenstein himself once admitted that it was basically intended to be a practical joke kind of like the Sokal affair [2], but I can't find the reference right now. But some people seem to still take it seriously.

The biggest problem in classical philosophy is that there were fundamental things they simply didn't know. In particular, anything written before 1936 doesn't have the benefit of Turing's results on universal computation, and so it suffers from all kinds of misconceptions about human exceptionalism. These mistakes are understandable, but nonetheless the products of ignorance, and should be of little more than historical interest today. But AFAICT contemporary philosophers still take them seriously.

Apologies for the quack philosophy, but isn't it just that we as human observers of the world can't help but identify our reflection in everything we see or do?
> B. "isn't capable enough" - according to the US... I simply say, don't underestimate your opponent. If you had said that Germany would nearly conquer Europe in 1929, you would've been laughed at as insane. If you had said the US would ultimately lose a country to the Taliban, you would’ve also been laughed at as insane.

Ironically that is exactly what you are doing with Taiwan and its defensive capabilities. Taiwan has been preparing for an invasion and attacks from the larger mainland since the revolution and has become one of the defensible places on the planet.

> Who needs a full scale amphibious invasion? Bomb some government buildings, blockade the place, and when 90% of Taiwan's energy is imported, they go dark and are willing to negotiate.

You just moved the goal post from invasion to a blockage, but lets continue anyway.

Why are you assuming Taiwan would just keel over and allow that to happen? Why are you assuming the Chinese navy would be capable from preventing the US and its allies from conducting freedom of navigation operations through the blockade?

You know for someone who just said "I simply say, don't underestimate your opponent" you are doing a lot of underestimating of China's opponents in this situation.
I liked the debate he had with Sapolsky, where he explained why free will is compatible with determinism (arguments that were new to me), and that Sapolsky's book ("Determined") did not grapple with those arguments.

Rust is cool now. Python is not cool anymore.
In most modern cars, there is a pressure booster in the power brake system, enabling braking force that can overcome the engine’s horsepower and quickly stop the car. But they are designed to continually maintain the braking force for a limited amount of time—30 seconds or so—after which this boosting ability is depleted. Once that happens, braking must be fully supplied by muscle power via the mechanical backup.

This is challenging if the engine is stuck in a wide open throttle (WOT) state, because the driver must overcome the cars weight in addition to the engine.

For a small car like a Toyota Corolla, this requires a few hundred pounds of downforce on the pedal. For a large 300hp SUV, this could require a thousand pounds of downforce.

As you said, the brakes can bring the car to a stop, but the car will start reaccelerating if the engine isn’t shut off.

(Sorry for mixing physical units.)
You're not wrong in terms of the average user's intent (they mostly don't care about the source, they care about the content), but I see this as an ethical gray area when search engines effectively offer up all this content created by bloggers without the need of the user to visit the site itself.

Phind tries to ameliorate this a bit by providing a set of links where the summarized data comes from, but most people likely won't even click on these links.

Breaking the Spell is a book I still recommend to friends today. Sad to hear.
I really think this is a pretty large extrapolation from me saying "don't let your kids talk to random celebrities on the internet", claiming that what I suggested will lead to some kind of moral decay.

I agree that I probably should have clarified (and have in a few sister threads, you can find it if curious), but I don't actually think it's 100% analogous to say that being cautious when talking to famous people is the same as "don't talk to strangers". There's a pretty huge power differential between a kid and someone that they really admire vs some random stranger, and there is probably at least some degree of selection bias of people who pursue positions of power and have the desire to abuse it. I don't have kids, but if I did I probably wouldn't let them hang around a lot of people who actively pursue power completely unsupervised, e.g. basically any politician, religious leaders, etc.

You can call it paranoia if you want, but I think it's just being aware of selection bias; I probably wouldn't let a kid into an Incel Support Group for the same reason, because there's going to be selection biases towards justifying horrible stuff, even if a vast majority of incels are just dorky dudes who probably wouldn't do anything inappropriate to a child.

Most famous people are just average humans, and are perfectly professional and courteous, and I feel like I did at least kind of mention that in my original post when I said that nothing bad happened to me, but I don't think that implies you just throw caution to the wind and just let kids reach out to every stranger they want. I also don't think it's leading to a moral decay to think that parents should supervise very young kids on the internet.
Problem is the "leaders" who survive longest within corporate wonderland, dont really stand for anything, beyond their own survival. Its like dealing with a race of machines.
Something I recently posted on Bluesky in response to someone complaining about the exaggerated vertical scale of a relief map of the US:

https://bsky.app/profile/dahosek.bsky.social/post/3kqfzyvoz5...

> It’s worth noting that the coast-to-coast measure of the US is a bit under 3000 miles, while the highest elevation in the continental US is a bit under 3 miles above sea level, so in a 1000-pixel map, that would translate to a 1 pixel height for Mt Whitney!

> So that difference in elevation is less than the diameter difference of the earth due to its rotation! A billiard ball has a diameter of 2in and the variation in the earth’s diameter scaled to that level would be 0.0066in which is smaller than a dust mite.

> I should also point out that the diagrams that show the earth’s elliptical orbit are also a lie. Drawn correctly proportioned, the earth’s orbit is indistinguishable from a circle to the naked eye. (And don’t get me started on the pictures that overstate the size of sun & planets vs their orbits).

> The universe is huge, we are tiny.
This is some wild mental gymnastics. The US is not the one agitating a war.
Okk I get it but a lot of other apps do the same… consider that from our perspective the alternative would be to run a standard subscription. Is that preferable? Personally I would say no, but maybe it’s just me.
Just to be clear...your position is that wearing face masks when around people indoors is the prudent choice in perpetuity? I honestly don't understand your perspective. What is it about covid19 that makes that necessary as distinct from all the other communicable diseases that humans have passed around for millennia? Or is it your position that wearing masks was always the smart thing to do?
No, it was just a typo when I edited the title the other day. Fixed now. Thanks!

I don't seem to have this issue on any other webshop that uses normal keyword searches and always wondered what Amazon did to mess it up so much and why people use that website (also for other reasons, but search is definitely one of them: no way to search properly). The answer isn't always "massive resources" towards being more hi-tech

But, thanks, this explains a lot about Amazon's search results and might help me steer it if I need to use it in the future :)

Ask HN: Tips for Benchmarking LLM Performance?
So we went and got some local LLMs running. What we're missing now is a way to compare the performance of different foundation model, parameter and prompt combinations. I always see those benchmarks when a new LLM comes out, I wanted to ask if you could point me to some frameworks that can be used for benchmarking, maybe also to some theory? I'm not even fully sure how it works, I assume it takes a Q&A set, asks the questions, computes some distance metric between the example answer and the model output and then aggregates across questions (?)

Completely agree, I think that's a very reasonable precaution that doesn't really "restrict" the kid, but hedges a bit against the famous person doing anything inappropriate. I also feel like nearly any famous person who isn't a creep would understand as well, within some degree of reason.

No car with paint you care about should ever be washed in the sun. If you look around some detailer forums for basic car washing instructions staying in the shade and carefully drying your car are very important to avoid water spots, swirl marks, and similar damage. Cars with dark colors are particularly notorious for this type of damage.
It's a design error from the start. The workaround shouldn't have happened, but is only one of countless ways this would have inevitably happened anyway. Glue has a lot of failure modes. Correct application can't be reliably tested non-destructively. Product variances are often very hard to detect. Degradation with age and physical use can't be reliably forecast.

Three pins on the back of that appearance plate that push into starlock style fasteners in the pedal are cheaper than the appropriate glue, faster to install than glue, more reliable, trivially verified, impossible to misalign, and that's why it's a common solution that auto manufacturers use in this exact application. This was a confoundingly stupid place to rely on glue.

there is a hack around this but each industry is different
I know this topic resurfaced due to the Googler protest scandal but nothing really changed under the surface since then. A lot of western corporations are still active in Russia today after the invasion. Corporations don't heave a soul or moral compass, they don't care who they hurt or kill, they just follow the money.

French concrete corporation Lafarge was caught funding terorism by paying ISIS to leave their concrete trucks lone in Syria and all they got was a fine from the US government. Nestle is responsible for a shit tonne of infant mortality in impoverished nations and IKEA for major deforestation and nothing really happened to them despite preaching how much they care about people and the environemnt.

I still maintain my PoV that if the execs were to face jailtime or a trail at The Hague instead of petty corporate fines that become part of the cost of doing business, companies would be a lot more mindful on how humane they earn their money. Bring the downvotes, I made peace with it.

Compliance with laws is not ethically relevant. You are trying to justify unethical behavior with appeals to pragmatism or "fairness" with whatabout appeals to other countries.

Which maybe you believe, but it is cowardly and manipulative to imply that the behavior is not unethical because you think it should be done anyway.

That's just modern evil 101.
I would start with contacting people in your town or area. Tell them that you recently became interested in problem X and offer to meet with them whenever and wherever they choose. You also need to do a lot of homework to ask intelligent questions. Finally, ask yourself if healthcare is the right choice. That's a tough industry if you don't have any contacts and/or background.
> as you seem to claim they should have.

Please don't do that. I said nothing of the sort. Plus what you did, besides being the "have you stopped beating your wife yet" sort of disgusting attack, is also whataboutism.

The thing about workplace safety is that a) employers don't relish their employees getting hurt or dying on the job, b) employers don't benefit when their employees get hurt or die on the job, so even if there were no regulations employers would still not go back to 120 years ago states of workplace safety, c) regulations here can help force employers to make better calculations regarding costs and benefits of improving workplace safety as it's on the improvement side that the costs mostly lie. So you see, there is not much benefit to the industry in capturing the regulator for the purpose of undoing workplace safety regulations.
Yes, I think that's a common experience. Many people expect philosophers to be something like wise old village elders, whereas in reality they are more like lawyers working in extremely niche areas of law.

I own one and I can assure you it’s very easy to fall on your back if you overestimate the friction when braking aggressively. Not even close to real life bike braking with disc brakes if you know how to transfer your weight properly (granted, a newbie would totally fly over the handlebars if they tried to brake to the limit without shifting their weight behind the seat..)
