This is a very good question, but I'm not sure I can give a very good answer.

I'm not sure the "probability" part of the question is even well-defined, let alone answerable, unless you state a specific rulespace -- two-state range-1 Moore-neighborhood CAs on a square lattice, or three-state range-2 isotropic CAs on a hexagonal lattice, or what have you.

Basically, you just have to be able to demonstrate a working universal logic gate (a NAND gate or a NOR gate) in a candidate rule, and you've pretty much got Turing-machine equivalence.

The problem is, a lot more rules are computationally universal than you'd think when you first look at them. This is because it's often possible to get a candidate rule to act like a completely different rule, by filling the universe with something other than empty space.

So you can't just try out a few random-soup patterns, dash off a quick proof that "this rule necessarily explodes uncontrollably in all directions, so it's impossible for any circuitry to survive" or anything along those lines. What if you start with a universe of all ON cells, or a checkerboard of ON and OFF?

There are lots of rules where signals can propagate beautifully through that kind of non-empty medium, and occasionally some kind of Turing-complete mechanism might be found there, along the lines of what Matthew Cook did with Rule 110. So you really have to look at a lot of options before you can say for sure that a rule does not support universal computation -- and so far, it seems like a very tricky problem to automate the process of looking.
You are quickly moving the goalposts I see. Have fun with that exercise.
Article is really about the unofficially called "Carplay 2", a deeper integration that Apple announced in 2022 but hasn't been heard about since.

As the article itself says, CarPlay Original Flavor is a massive success, I'm in the "79% of drivers only consider a car if it has CarPlay" (bye-bye GM!)
You purposefully ignored “high end”. Most of the world cannot afford that. Parts that do are mostly iPhone. USA. Japan.

> There are a number of regional liquors across India, but most are looked down upon as the drivel of the poor or the working class.

Definitely not these liquors from Rajasthan. I have Kesar Kasturi, Royal Jagmohan, etc. and you can tell they have some top-shelf ingredients in them like saffron, etc.

Now rum, on the other hand, is terrible.
to clarify, when you look at objects that lead to paradox in naive set theory; they do not lead to paradox in NF or NFU; they exist but have unexpected properties.
Kirti Joshi from the IAS has made very serious attempts to patch up Mochizuki's work by developing new math and by making the exposition good. If you're an expert in arithmetic geometry presumably he's readable, if you're just interested, I found it fun to skim.

Graph visualization.

I've been on a journey for a while to understand how to layout diagrams / graphs in an "aesthetically pleasing but structured" way. Long story short, DOT[0] is the best language I've found for defining graphs (compared to doing something with Mermaid.js or any other markup language), but rendering with the DOT engine in GraphViz fails the "aesthetic" test for me.

Did a bit of a literature review[1] to understand better the different approaches, and to understand the scope of the field. This book does great job of defining and providing the keywords for the different levels of requirements, starting with "principles" that are provable in the academic sense, to "conventions" that are like principles, but cannot be necessarily computed (eg NP hard, so requiring heuristics or simulations to achieve), and ending with actual "aesthetics" where things get very subjective.

Ultimately got pretty deep writing my own force-directed graph simulation in Rust and visualizing with egui[2] (needed an excuse to work on UIs and I've always wanted to write less Python), but I'm taking a break to use what I've learned writing Rust to shore up the REST API testing suite for my dayjob.

You see the sibling comment by mattgreenrocks, right?
> I read stuff like this all the time, but this take is actually extremely reductive. (Otherwise, every moron out there would be making 7 figures, but they don't.)

Your parenthesized logic is fallacious. No one is saying there's no filter of who gets to make 7 figures. What people are saying is that merit isn't the filter.

> It's not as if these folks are utterly incompetent in their roles, but in fact they optimize for things you think don't matter (but actually do.) For example, if you can get a promotion just by knowing people, why would you optimize for building a better product, when you could optimize for getting a box and inviting C-execs at a football game?

> To wit, sitting on a board is often "free money" and those positions are purely obtained by networking. Life is much more of a popularity contest than people (especially engineers) want to believe and EQ pays off much more than IQ does. We are, at the end of the day, social creatures.

You seem to be presenting nepotism as if it's a feature when it's obviously a bug.

I mean, do you not see how building worse products because you can get away with knowing people is worse for society?

If you cause your company to fail but you keep getting promoted because you are good at managing upward, you are incompetent in your role.

Your role is supposed to be making your company successful. Your role IS NOT supposed to be networking yourself into free money.
Ever seen Japan ?
Have you explored the non-hostile possibility first?

Giving a failing CEO a face-saving out (even if all they end up with is a firm handshake) might be easier to accomplish and also be more palatable for potential investors.
I think we're going to lose free-speech within our generation. It's strange that news outlets like TheVerge are cheering this on, but maybe the writers there are hoping that they can find employment writing for Pravda?
They don't have to deal with the legal aspects of licencing content, nor need to do marketing, nor sales, nor have specialised teams working for features in specific markets; They don't have to ingest content, match content with potential existing ones to pay royalties properly (if not you get legally fucked), they don't have to do any kind of recommendations, so on and so forth...

I think you have a very simplistic view of how businesses work since your comparison is not even wrong.
>Control over what, exactly?

Planned obsolesence. Without proper CarPlay/AA integration, car manufacturers get to decide when those whiz-bang infotainment features stop working. You'd have to replace the whole car to get those features back instead of just buying a new phone.
We are in the golden age of phone<->car integration, so enjoy it while it lasts. In a few more years 100% of auto manufacturers are going to start charging a monthly subscription for this, split between them and Apple/Google.
Same here - I was interested in the mechanics of the crack, having spent a fair amount of time reverse engineering binaries back in the days.

This is just a bunch of screenshots with ‘lol’ interspersed.
I am sure you know this, but for the audience: the danger can be mitigated somewhat with a "test suite" of theorems and examples about the definitions. These examples can be very simple ("this particular object, with this particular operation, is a group; this other object is not") or much more sweeping and general (e.g. fundamental theorems like "all objects with this property are isomorphic" or "all objects with this property embed canonically in this other construction"). It doesn't prove that your definitions are correctly capturing what your natural-language proof talks about, but it can help you be more confident.
Carplay2 seems cool, but if it takes away my ability to just jump into whatever new car with my iphone or android phone and use aa/carplay I don't want to lose carplay. I have 3 cars with carplay and I don't want to have to set all of them up and lose portability.
Rabbit R1 source code [part 1]
this mirrors my experience.

the OMG DEI IS RUNING SCHOOOLS WAHHHHHH posts are either in San Francisco or are shills. Maybe NYC or greater DC; big city wankery.

In all of the cases I saw the diversity and such was limited mostly to the same "golden rule" stuff we got when I was a kid. a lot of the learning materials tended to have characters with different skin colors, but that's just in the "Jamal has 4 bananas, and decides to give 2 away, how many does he have left?" sense -- trivial stuff.

My main concern is the screen time and chromebooks, and plain ole student to teacher ratio.
As CarPlay aims to dominate even more screens in our cars, isn't Apple simply replacing buttons and dials with potentially distracting and fingerprint-smeared touch screens just to extend its software reach?
> why are human brains so bad at statistics?

That depends on what you mean by being "bad at statistics." What brains do on a conscious level is very different than what they do at a neurobiological level. Brains are "bad at statistics" on the conscious level, but at the level of neurobiology that's all they do.

As an analogy, consider a professional tennis or baseball player. At the neurobiological level those people are extremely good at finding solutions to kinematic equations, but that doesn't mean that they would ace a physics test.
I knew many things were implemented but not 'where', so thanks :)

The article is a fascinating slice of history, and a view into an alternate world of how CSS could have worked. Even if the features remained, the different method of applying styles is... well, a parallel world, alternate history.

That's not a hardware limitation.

> Tailwind and regular CSS are hardly distinct, it's just slightly different names

Tailwind:

<div className="shadow-lg" />

CSS:

div {
box-shadow: 0 10px 15px -3px rgb(0 0 0 / 0.1), 0 4px 6px -4px rgb(0 0 0 / 0.1);
}

Not to mention the Tailwind classNames are compiled to CSS in a build step, where CSS is not compiled, it's written in its native form. They're clearly very different syntaxes and approaches, even though one compiles to the other.

The above example shows how convenient Tailwind can be... well if you happen to want that 10px 15px -3px, 4px 6px -4px shadow, but the moment you break out of their palette or default style setup you end up doing stuff like this:

<div className="bg-[#243c5a]" />

Either storing that color value in JavaScript, or creating a Tailwind theme for it in tailwind.config.js:

module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
colors: {
'regal-blue': '#243c5a'
}
}
}
}

Something that could have been easily accomplished in native CSS:

:root {
--regal-blue: #243c5a;
}

div {
background-color: var(--regal-blue);
}

For most React websites, I use Tailwind by default almost always, and Tailwind UI is a great starting point for building a component library. But it still helps to support CSS for more advance styling use cases - even within Tailwind. Knowing CSS very well will make you better at Tailwind too even for common things like

<div className="w-[calc(100% - 1rem)]" />

It's kinda important to know both as separate technologies.
Some may spend 1000 hours on a novel, but many will write far faster. The stories of authors who looks themselves in an office for a week or two to write another novel is so "common" as to be a trope (Simenon is one example of someone who'd spent a week or two on his novels during his most productive period).

I've written two. The second one took me about 33 hours of writing, and a couple of tens of hours more of editing.

But yes, you're not going to make a lot of money unless you're both talented and hardworking and lucky.

In the UK the average full-time author earns below minimum wage - but the average full-time author lives in a household earning well above average; in other words, being a full-time author is, for most people who do it, an indulgence made possible by a two-income, usually reasonable well off, household..

Far more common is doing it alongside another job, and that's true even for a lot of very successful writers - even a few relatively speaking big successes are often not enough to live off unless you write fast and consistently.

I was strongly motivated to upvote and share this article. I probably upvote and share 1/500 articles I read on this website. So I disagree, I think his tone helps convey how the bulk of people feel about Google's search product and gives us a name to actually blame. Whereas every other blog writes about the decline of Google with a sad tone underwritten with nostalgia and always fails to provide any sort of root cause or solution, atleast this guy has given us good information and context to understand Googles decline. And of course, it's more entertaining when people are called out.

After spending a very long time trying to find the perfect non-Tesla EV with both carplay, good range, cargo space etc… I gave up and “settled” for a Model Y LR.
The software in a Tesla is just as good as Elon is bad. Not to turn this into an anti-Elon thing… But the software in the Tesla is really second-to-none, and more folks would find out if it weren’t for Elon.
Apparently this isn't true. If you have a car where the 2nd screen behind the steering wheel also shows CarPlay-related stuff, you have CarPlay 2 (or so I've been told). It's just not as invasive and all-or-nothing as it was billed to be.
It sounds like you want Oppo Air Glass if it ever releases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5KPfCzqqhQ
If you're in the market for a new-to-you car, then I recommend looking at the model years where they switch from wired car-play to wireless car-play and buying the previous model-year.

Typically this difference of one model-year can add thousands to the cost of the vehicle, especially because wireless car-play is so coveted. The experience of wireless is fantastic, but is it worth several thousand dollars? Maybe, but herein lies the trick.

Buy a dongle. They're about $100 for a good one. They can be tucked away in the vehicle. They work almost* as good as integrated wireless car-play.

*Maybe add 5 seconds to auto-connect when you get in your car.
I have zero interest in the CarPlay v2 (as described in the article).

CarPlay v1, however, is an absolute requirement. It works great and gives me pretty much everything I want.
you can speedrun by playing with the phone screen facing down. tilt it slightly and the ball will go super fast. you can sort of "fly", too, and climb up walls. i got to level 9 in like 30 secs like this
re: dbt, it looks like Hashquery is more for running analyses than doing in-data-warehouse transformations.

Unless I'm mistaken there's no native way in Hashquery right now to materialize the results back to your warehouse like you would with dbt.
> Unfortunately, I don't see that ever happening.

I mean, it's already happened over and over again throughout human history. Hell, in the US ~100 years ago, 90%+ of the population was farming. 'Automation took our jobs!' and now ~1% are farming.

Work doesn't go away; it just shifts. Unemployment/collapse is a pipe dreams, the human components will simply move when large market shifts come in. Yea, they're disruptive - what will an older career truck driver move to once no one is driving? But the next generation coming up will find new niches that are still needed or desired.

I’ll admit that I was skeptical at first about including masonry in the CSS Grid spec.

After reading through the article, I’m convinced it is the right path forward, allowing masonry layouts to utilize the same APIs and properties (columns/rows, gap, etc.) as CSS Grid.

This would lower the bar of entry by using familiar APIs and allow simpler switching between masonry and other column/row setups responsively.

```css
.example {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));
grid-template-rows: auto;
@media (width > 500px) {
grid-template-rows: masonry;
}
}
```
Hyperbole that is quite obviously hyperbole is a well accepted literary device. It is a form of highlight via creative exaggeration of non-critical points, that is transparent, not deceptive, in service of making serious adjacent points. [0]

The point here is to highlight the actually cartoonish level of dysfunction and damage with an intentionally cartoonish flourish.

The "villian" in this case can be colorfully interpreted as the real world isomorphism of a mustache stroking, side sneering perpetrator, from any usually fictional world-stakes good vs. evil story.

Intentional exaggeration also communicates a bit of self-awareness, that gives heavy crisis alarms more credibility. The author's levity demonstrates a higher level awareness and humility, by making fun of his own extraordinarily serious thesis.

Finally: gallows humor. Add humor when talking about depressing things to relieve the anxiety that often inhibits discussion and contemplation of difficult topics.

I have physical buttons that control CarPlay - for navigation and music
This makes sense .
Will be interesting to see how this article is ranked on Google in a month or so ;). There might be a good reason why there aren't many search results about this guy, let alone anything negative.
By that logic it should be fine if the government borrows $999999T (or any other massive number) from itself.
Recently had two rental cars with CarPlay. Oddly, the experience with a Chevy (who is abandoning CarPlay support) was much better than the Hyundai, though its main problem was connecting and constantly asking permission.

Since my older cars do not have it, having a great mount (Peak Design) makes a huge difference, but damn I want it integrated if only for the bigger screen.
I switched over to DDG sometime in 2017 or 2018, haven't used Google Search since.
As a shopper of a vehicle. I want my car to control car operation/cockpit information. I have enjoyed the continuous improvement of navigation and entertainment functionality of Android Auto/Car Play.

For the love of god, keep them separate. One is critical vehicle functionality. There other can crash/reboot/have connectivity issues, without me being concerned about knowing the engine is overheating/battery pack is dead, a tire is blowing out via TPS or I'm speeding.

I don't want a car that is CarPlay only, guess what, my car is not an accessory to my phone. The genius of current Android Auto/CarPlay is that the car head unit can act as a mostly "dumb" head unit for my external mobile processor.
> I guess what I meant is that we didn't blow ourselves up during the Cold War

By being just lucky in many times. I imagine a scenario where one mistake happened and people took the wrong decision in one moment. It is not like if you repeated the cold war 1000 times you will end up fine in most of them. Lets remember that submarine in Cuban crisis, if this Soviet officer did not give his authentication we wouldn't get into that point. If you repeat the scenario with 1000 officers from this era, I wouldn't like our chances.
Would you care to support that with some hard data?

Everybody loves to hate on CPS, but there’s actually a lot of interesting signs of progress:

I used to be fascinated with Apple but I no longer want anything to do with them.

I could care less if my car has Apple or android auto at this point. I would rip it out immediately if it had one. Any always on connectivity would be removed.

Car manufacturers are increasingly selling off your private data and leveraging all of these technology upgrades you paid for to do it. As soon as the car is connected to the internet, it’s shipping off your private data and selling it to data brokers. Manufacturers are hiding behind their wall of text called “terms of service” to do so [1]

In some cases the manufacturers are reporting your driving history to insurance companies so they can get any reason to bump your rates or deny you coverage . [2]

My dream car is now a “dumb” car.

Give me a car with a simple backup camera, manual transmission, and regular sized vehicle (no trucks or suvs, fuck that).

>The prevalence of assholes is a documented thing...latest numbers I've heard was over 6% of clinical narcissists...who would ever be surprised that high-status people like being high-status?...the idea that rich assholes would like to keep the education level of the general population below a threatening threshold...it's just obvious."

Feel free to clarify, but to me, this reads as, "Rich people, being narcissists, will try to maintain their high status by keeping the education level of the general populace low."

It also reads as a narrative talking point without good evidence to support it. I.e., "I can't prove it, I just know it's true."
Something that stuck out to me in the article:

> There used to be a big difference in driving characteristics and technology between premium and budget brands. Compared to a Volkswagen, a BMW used to have a more powerful engine, better handling, and comfort features like seat-heating and cruise control. However, a Volkswagen Golf now has similar tech as a BMW and with the transition to EVs, drivetrains and handling won't be the same differentiator as before.

The thing is: that didn't used to be that way. You can blame it on the transition to EVs, but part of that transition seems to be that a bunch of manufacturers decided not to build their own platforms, motors, etc and are just licensing from other manufacturers*. The article's correct to note that flattens a lot of the value proposition of any given manufacturer, and if that's forcing them to lean in a lot on the software, that's a weird position for an automotive manufacturer, because that's never been anyone in the industry's strong suite - there's a reason 80% of drivers won't buy a car without CarPlay.

It's also notable that the brands who do seem to be going in on CarPlay are those that still make a point of building their own engines and platforms - Aston, Porsche, and even Polestar tries to differentiate itself there.

* to be clear, this was happening before EVs, too - BMW put out a car that shared a platform with a Toyota, in a move that should've caused a plague of locust to descend on Munich if God existed and had a driver's license, and Stellantis put a Lancia badge on a Chrysler a couple years back.
Reading someone else's book about how to think independently seems like some sort of ironic joke.

I'd love it if the first page was just "Stop reading other people's thoughts and go think." And then the rest of the pages are blank.
