I did not decide. Regulators have decided; the fleet retains the driver assist capability. Changes have been made of course to appease regulatory bodies, which is good and desirable. Ergo, this quantity and types of death incurred is within government regulator risk appetite.

As mentioned up thread, irresponsible drivers hold the blame for deaths caused. If you can’t use the feature safely, you shouldn’t use it, or have access to it. Irresponsible drivers in non Tesla vehicles will continue to maim and kill others just fine on a daily basis (~40k deaths/year, ~109 per day).

Edit: real cookbooks was basically my answer to this problem to be honest. Some of them actually have fun stories in them. Most of them have a standard-ish "recipe on one page, photo on the opposite page" format. But none of them have promo codes for shoes, supplements, or terrible Canadian coffee chains in them.
If one were to start from scratch on designing a passenger jet, imagining away the constraints of current airport design, passenger safety rules, everything else ... I do wonder what the planes would look like. Perhaps like B2s, with engines in the rear.
Did the project to add value types to Java (I’m sure I heard of it a decade ago) never finish?
One of the things that always confused me when watching The Time Machine was the moon falling. It was cool, but it was complete movie magic. Nuclear excavation would in no way send the moon careening into the Earth.
Intel's getting destroyed on all fronts, let's not kid ourselves here. Plus foreign governments don't want the NSA-mandated hardware backdoors now that everybody knows they exist. Intel's OK I guess if you work for the government and need a computer with such a "feature" so the glowboys can keep tabs on you.
Mandating the wearing of seatbelts isn’t entirely about protecting the person wearing the seatbelt. An unbelted occupant becomes a projectile in a sufficiently violent collision, and that projectile can cause harm to people outside of the vehicle.

Ask HN: How can I (easily) learn electronics with my son?
My son is about to turn 5. I know practically zero about electronics (yes, I had my share of soldering and tinkering with cables and LEDs). Somehow, I suspect it will be a fun activity to do together.

Are you aware about how to start? Any initiation kit?

I don't aim to know a lot about it, though; if we ever manage to do some Arduino implementation I'll consider myself more than satisfied (yes, I have a strong background on development).

Tips are welcome, thanks in advance!
I believe that most, if not all, cell phone cameras have cheaper CMOS sensors, not CCD sensors (which have a lower image noise, but they need a more expensive manufacturing process, less compatible with modern digital logic and more similar to the manufacturing processes used for DRAM).

AFAIK the CCD technology continues to be used only in large-area expensive sensors inside some professional video cameras, in applications like astronomy, microscopy, medical imaging and so on.
Every company thinks that they're going to hack the system. They think that they'll be the first American company to ever outsource and get the best developers. But all of the best developers are happily working for local companies, and they don't want to have to deal with an American boss.

Every language has a tool like NPM (actually, nvm in the context of this discussion) these days. The problems tools like Nix solves (and arguably, Asdf) is that instead of learning each language's tools you only need to learn one tool that manages multiple languages and system dependencies.

Americans with Disabilities Act says "Hi". Lock someone out of a position solely on the basis of avoiding a reasonable accommodation for the sake of avoiding creation of a business record to do skulduggerous things, and you've just handed someone a sizable cause of action against you.

Seriously, just stop trying to do illegal shit and get away with it and accept that sometimes the way through actually includes changing the rules first, or that any business model that requires you to do something illegal that can only be mitigate by getting away with it long enough to create an issue after scaling should probably be DOA for a reason you haven't bothered to read up on yet.

I know... I know... Read the room. Totally not HN's bag. Get a load of this square, so on, and so forth. I've done my stint in startups. I've seen the harms they can cause. I've been on the receiving end of the industry's lack of care long enough to realize that these regulations exist for a reason. Part of it is to create generous hooks whereby the legal system can actually introspect what you're up to while you're enjoying the benefits of government granted legal fictions.

A good enterprise doesn't need crime. Simple as.
Similar problem. Consider the train:

London → Clapham Junction → many more stops → Hassocks → Brighton.

You could buy two paper tickets, London to Clapham Junction and Hassocks to Brighton. Use the first ticket to enter in London, the other to exit at Brighton. This only works if you're confident the ticket won't be checked on the train.

A safer option: buy an open return ticket London → Brighton. The London→Brighton bit is only valid that day, but the Brighton→London bit is valid for 30 days. Get through the barriers at Brighton with a Brighton→Hassocks ticket. Show the return ticket as required to the ticket inspector on the train, and use a Clapham Junction→London ticket to exit the station (the barrier swallows this used ticket).
Many many millions for a chatbot that slurps your emails or an integrated web browser that reports to the mothership, but no room in the budget for proper EDR because cloud storage. I just don't buy this argument at all.

Stick and Rudder (Wolfgang Langewiesche 1972):

> There are situations in flying when he who "ducks," he who flinches, is lost. The most important example is the re­covery from a stall at low altitude-getting that stick forward and pointing the nose at the ground; that does require courage, and no two ways about it. [...] It might seem that learning to fly the conventional airplane must necessarily be mostly a matter of drill, like animal training, like making a dog not eat when he wants to eat, making him jump through a flaming hoop when he does not want to jump. [...] But another view of the problem is also possible. It may be that our common sense, our natural reactions mislead us simply because they are working on the basis of wrong ideas in our minds concerning the wing and how it really flies, the controls and what they really do. [...] Perhaps what happens when the beginner reacts wrongly in an airplane is similar to what happened in the early days of the automobile, when a man trying to stop in an emergency would pull back on the wheel as if he had reins in his hands and would even yell "Whoa." There was nothing re­ally wrong with his reactions, with his intentions; the only thing wrong was the image in his head that made him see the automobile as a sort of mech­anized horse, to be controlled as horses are controlled. Had he clearly seen in his mind's eye the mechanical arrangement we take for granted now-the clutch that can disconnect the motor, the brakes that can clamp down on the wheels; had he clearly appreciated that the thing was a machine and had no soul at all, not even a horse's soul, and that thus there was no use in speaking to it-he would then have done the right thing without diffi­culty. It may be that, if we could only understand the wing clearly enough, see its working vividly enough, it would no longer seem to behave contrary to common sense; we should then expect it to behave as it does behave. We could then simply follow our impulses and "instincts." Flying is done largely with one's imagination! If one's images of the airplane are correct, one's behavior in the airplane will quite naturally and effortlessly also be correct.

I wasn’t aware they preferred type II errors. That makes sense, but I don’t really expect tools like that to work across modules.
Yes, because you pay upfront for the whole value of the trip. So you can’t get out of paying by simply not tapping out.

What I find insane is the peak current discharge those little 12V 7-9ah backup batteries can push out

Well over 100A for a few seconds

Lithium can’t even do that in a single cell (but in turn is infinitely better for continuous current)

It sort of baffles me intuitively that an extremely simple lead battery can for a short while compete with the grid

> Not that it's much of a downside for us; if you live in the west you are competing with people who don't do much outside of 9-5. We have the benefit of having the ability to apply the Chinese "work till you're dead" mindset and gaining a competitive advantage, on an individual scale.

The weird thing is that if you work at a company where this isn't the norm, then people will ask you to "slow down" or "take it easy". I believed them, until I realized that was their tactic to make sure you don't "steal" credit from them by working harder.

On the other hand, if you work at a company where "work always" is the mentality, then it's much harder to do that "one simple trick" where you get more work done by working more.
probably because it Depends, If you dont know its safer not to.
long answer (keep in mind i live in canada, im not a professional, this is just what i learned and trust, keep in mind above)
- As long as no wire/bar exceeds its max Amp your safe no matter how many things are plugged in or how long of a daisy chain, the max amp is usually listed.
- all devices should list the max amp they use, add up the amp's of all the devices connected to that wire and if its below your safe.
- if your breaker is 15 amp, virtually all normal extensions/power bars are rated for at least 15 amps which means doesnt matter what you do the breaker should* flip before any damage is done
- if breaker is above 15 amp most surge protectors have protection that will trigger if they exceed their max, most basic "splitters" and extension cords dont, eg if they dont have a switch or reset button they are pretty much guaranteed to not have this protection, be extra carful how much you load on those.
some good rules of thumb to keep in mind, look for imprints or labels that list amps, smaller wires can handle less, damaged wires can handle less then they did before and shouldn't be used, if a wire or connector warms when its in use its overloaded reduce the load on it, especially if it warms quickly.
here is a video that i liked that talks about it as well

Military spending is a good point. If the middle class all moves to Germany, the US tax base will suffer, and probably Germany will have to raise taxes for their military to compensate. But that would take decades.
Are you joking about Chinese mega-corp? You realize China is desperately trying to avoid catastrophic economic collapse? They have so much malinvestment there have been emergency discussions between them and the US Treasury. Between ghost cities in China and unfinished empty highways to nowhere (used for embezzlement by their leader fwiw) they are on the edge of collapse. However a disorderly economic collapse in China is assessed by globalist US leadership as against US interests so it’s being careful managed between the two powers.

However back to a hypothetical mega-corp. Let’s say a megacorp buys up blocks of old houses and redevelops it into new supply .. will overall housing prices go up or down? Obviously down! supply increases. However due to fundamentally broken education system that has been coopted by neo-Marxist collectivist gibberish even highly educated and technically literate individuals in western countries don’t understand that. And worse yet they have been trained to instinctively label me and anyone who tries to explain simple empirical economic facts as “racists” or “fascists”.

Over 18k An-2 were produced during the time of 1947-2001. It’s an unusual plane due how old it is and that many are still in operation so general stats should take that into account. It’s well known for being nearly impossible to stall with a stall speed of 30 knots - if it does stall it’ll sink at the rate of a parachute which is still faster than you’d want to hit the ground for a landing. It’s also easy to pick up that speed by dipping the nose. If someone crashes an an-2 by stalling it they had to really work hard to do it. Any pilot that did this would be considered unsafely inept to an almost unimaginable degree.

This article is the first I'm hearing of a Cessna 185 being considered unstallable and I do wonder it that title was picked for engagement. Float planes are extra dangerous with more that can go wrong and less margins for safety.
Remember the QNX demo floppy?

Is this a concern when buying used rackmount power conditioners (like used for live music setups?), to protect home IT gear? Can they be worn out without a sign that they are?

That's the expected clock rate for the TT07 run... but Tiny Tapeout designs only have 8 in, 8 out, and 8 bidirectional IOs (plus a reset and clock input) available, so they're using a multiplexing strategy where the Z80 clock runs at 1/4 of the base clock rate and alternates between control signals, A0-A7, control signals, and A8-A15 on the OUT pins:

https://github.com/rejunity/z80-open-silicon/blob/68438f0019...

So you'd get an effective 12.5MHz Z80 clock and need a bit of external logic to demultiplex the full IO interface. Still not too shabby!

The goal (per the project README) appears to be to prototype with TT07 and then look into taping out standalone with ChipIgnite in QFN44 and DIP40 packages (which would be able to have the full traditional Z80 bus interface and run at the full clock rate).
It's not that simple, long-term. Companies will just be founded elsewhere, because a hard-to-fire worker is worse than no worker. However, you could add additional layers like "if you do business in the US you must have x% of your employees here". But it's getting messy.
Yes because we promote blog posts on “idiomatic ruby” and “premature optimization is the root of all evil”. “Performance is less important than dev time”.

We used to have developers who took less time and wrote better code.
Thank you! Your work really helped fuel my interest in programming, and it's always stood as my exemplar for how to explain a concept efficiently.
I want to make native apps but Apple and Microsoft seem to be trying really hard to stop me. I have to buy developer accounts, buy certificates for signing binaries, share 30% of my revenue with them for barely any reason and so on. Not to mention the mess they've introduced in their APIs - especially Microsoft. So of course we choose the much simpler, much cheaper way of the web.

Yup, that felt incredible even at the time, let alone now.
Arguably yes, but that doesn't stop people using it.

Basically Java had nulls from the start. A decade or so later some people who didn't like nulls introduced their own Optional type, as a third-party library. Enough people liked it that Optional was added to Java's standard library.

But as it's just an object, it can be null. Some null avoidance enthusiasts also use third-party @Nullable and @NotNull annotations, which some automated code checking tools will attempt to verify during compile/test.
I think about this a lot, and the conclusion I've come to is that the market (simply meaning the popularity) rewards features and intuitive UI above everything else. I think we've been on this trajectory for some time: getting users with less and less actual computer literacy to do more and more with computers.
It drastically reduces the viral load you have available to spread because you're reproducing so much less of it.
In the UK, if I have a 6 way strip sized for 10A, which thus has a 10A plug in, I could then plug in a 4 way strip downstream with a 5A fuse, then a lamp with a 3A fuse, and that's fine. I could even connect it the other way.

If I plug in a heater pulling 10A then sure, the 5A fuse will blow.

Daisy chaining multiways will increase the resistance in the earth wire which could mean you end up with a class 1 device with a fault connecting live to earth which would only punting say 8A to earth due to a high resistance (but then your circuit's RCD would trip with that), but is it a major problem?

With the US system, do you not have wires capable of 3A (say 24 AWG) which you can connect to a normal socket which also takes a 10A vacuum?

If that lamp has a fault where it pulls 6A, what protects the 3A wire -- i.e. there's a fault with your lamp which is plugged into a 15A circuit breaker, and the lamp draws 10A, it wouldn't trip the breaker, and that nice thin 3A lamp cord would melt.

That's pretty much how I use git. My text editor auto saves, I work on a task, doing refactors, or throw away wishful code along the way. When I feel like I'm at a good point for a commit, I repeatedly use `git status`, `git diff`, and `git add -p` to split the sum of changes into a reasonable set of commits. A commit does not need to be all-or-nothing.

Kinda.

Every non-primitive is nullable in Java. Adding Optional doesn't/can't change that.

You can have a gentlemen's agreement to prefer None to null.
Assuming this wasn't financially motivated.
People are confusing the limited computational model of a transformer with the "Chinese room argument", which leads to unproductive simultaneous debates of computational theory and philosophy.
This just sounds like an inefficiency in Google Docs. Native software can also be inefficient, even if it's written in C or asm, if the data structures or algorithms used can't handle certain types of data well. Just in this case, the native software seems to be able to handle that file better.
I completely agree. I believe it is still not too late to set a destination for the future. But, because of the hardware breakthroughs which are good, no one thinks about software efficiency anymore. They will add another GB/TB to the specs to avoid any bottlenecks.
Yes, the actual results are definitely not as impressive as the overly hyped headlines, but there's still a lot. First off, in terms of research building up on top of it, as of today, Pubmed shows 9,364 articles citing their 2021 paper, and Google Scholar shows 21,719 results as a whole[1], but these include non-biomedical papers (e.g. applications of similar ML models to other disciplines).

As for actual applications, it's a bit early, but here's a relatively extensive review from 2023[2], and there's a particularly notable example showing progress on liver cancer [3]. Researchers are still figuring out how to utilize it, e.g. with search mechanisms like Foldseek[4], and I'm sure we'll see a lot over the coming years.

But you're definitely right it's not a silver bullet on its own, and there's still need for actual scientific research. On this note there's this interesting paper on the "illusion of understanding" we get from working with AI.
