I wonder if this is a change in braking material, specifically a reduction in difference between dynamic coefficient of friction and static coefficient of friction between the pad and rotor (or equivalently, the shoe and drum).

If older cars had a higher differential, you’d need to let up more as the brake finally locks up.

One of the first things I had to do when buying the car was go online and search for it. I had no idea it was there because it looks like part of the trim in my Model Y and and when you have an all-black interior, it doesn't stand out (especially in low light conditions). I had to show my family members where it was also. They need to put a red decal on it or something, so that it stands out more.
Hey, Amphi's developer here. Those two tools are great, big fan of dlt myself :)

However, Amphi is a low-code solution while those two are code-based. Also, those two focus on the ingestion part (EL) while Amphi is focusing on different ETL use-cases (file integration, data preparation, AI pipelines).

You may want to see the work of linguistics professor George Lakoff who recommends using certain patterns to disarm misinformation, like the “truth sandwich”.

https://soundcloud.com/future-hindsight/the-truth-sandwich-g...

One of the aspects of successful misinformation is that it establishes a desired framing of an issue. Merely repeating the framing, even to indicate its incorrectness, enforces it. The way around it is to never repeat the framing and use correct framing instead. Political speech nowadays is based on extremely weaponized framing. Once you hear this you can’t unhear it.

most data engineers would think of something like Fivetran when you say "ETL" (look at the ETL section here[0]).

It looks like Amphi could handle some low code transformations (the "T" in ETL), but calling it ETL feels like a stretch.

So to rephrase a bit, if you're looking for an open source, python based Fivetran alternatives, dlt and meltano would be my picks.

That's true for the front seats. In the back seat of the Model Y you have to pull out the rubber floor of the storage pocket in the door, remove a cap, fish around for the cable, then pull it. It couldn't be less obvious.

My setup with a 2020 LG OLED and both Apple TV and Google TV devices attached is stable and works great. The extra $250 for the external devices was worth it (Apple TV - $200, Google TV - $50).

Now I'm curious - For anyone here who's attached an LG OLED television to the Internet and received webOS updates: Does the unit now work better or worse than when you first purchased it new?

On a related note, how many people have applied the LG webOS jailbreak? I remember reading about it on HN a few years ago and then not thinking about it again until now. The project got repository (https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io) looks pretty quiet these days.

Ask HN: What's with floating point operations and AI regulations?
I've noticed a trend in AI policy (e.g. the EU AI act or the USA's AI executive order) to include references to quantities of Floating -Point operations to differentiate between AI models but I don't really understand the rationale behind it or what the language actually means. For example:

```

Until such technical conditions are defined, the Secretary shall require compliance with these reporting requirements for:

(i) any model that was trained using a quantity of computing power greater than 10^26 integer or floating-point operations, or using primarily biological sequence data and using a quantity of computing power greater than 10^23 integer or floating-point operations;

```

What does this mean to me as an engineer? I normally see FLOPS (which I think of as a measurement of operations per second) but this seems to be about total operations without a time dimension? How did this language get into legislation and why does it seem so widespread?
Well, it might get a lot less dead with a small fraction of the resources spent on this project.

> indefinitely

You’ll note they’ve switch to another open source framework which has the same potential to fail without support/resources. They’ve kicked the can down the road, but are now accruing the technical debt that lead to this effort exactly the same as before. Since that technical debt will inevitably turn into a real expenditure of resources, they are stuck with expenses indefinitely, however they do it. Though I think it’s pretty obvious that one way is a lot cheaper and less disruptive to the business than the other.

(BTW, if they were concerned with indefinite expenses, you might also wonder why they want to continue to build their product on the shifting sands that are react, or pursue a unit testing strategy that is so tightly coupled to specific versions of their UI framework. These are “fuck-the-cost” decisions, both short term and long term.)
There are more constructive ways of saying that.

> Are Nvidia's customers making a profit from the billions they are spending on GPUs? I don't think so, at least not yet.

Yes. NVIDIA's customers are mostly the cloud providers buying tens of thousands of machines each. The latest 8xH100 pods cost almost $400,000 so no one but Facebook and a few other tech giants can afford to buy tons of them without having customers lined up and ready to rent them.

If you look at AWS's reserve pricing, a one year contract costs more than the hardware would if you bought it up front. The on-demand pricing is even crazier, if you're lucky enough to find some capacity. NVIDIA's customers are absolutely printing money, it's their customers' customers that are paying for it.

>1) does this hold for all 3 of jerk, snap and crackle, like OP suggested?

They aren't the fundamental quantities you would look at, typically the output of a multi body system are displacement/velocity/acceleration, but of course if you look at a plot of acceleration you can just see these quantities (at least the first and second derivative are quite easy to see) or calculate them. And of course the ride comfort is related to the smoothness of the forces you experience, which is the same as wanting to minimize the derivatives of force. But I would suggest that these quantities are quite hard to analyze quantitatively as they are, naturally, subject to far more noise.

Where these quantities definitely are considered is when you look at vibrations.

>2) In applications where no humans are involved (robot actuators etc.), would it make sense to minimize jerk, snap and crackle too?

Yes, if you care about durability. Parts can break for different reasons, intuitively you easily understand that exceeding certain loads breaks them. Another, far more insidious, failure case is a cyclic load, which never exceeds a particular threshold. Again, vibrations play an important role there.
That's fair - for a newly densifying area.

In San Francisco SOMA, this is not a "newly densifying area". It is still densifying (converted from automotive workshops, entertainment and light manufacturing prevalence 30 years ago) but there has been plenty of people living there for many years now. And there are supermarkets and other Costco that did take advantage of that mix of still available largish, newish spaces and local population. But no, for SOMA and San Francisco in general, the issue is more likely that "street level retail" was a checkbox you better meet in your permit application. It's largely aspirational. There are some thriving stores in the area (cafés, furniture, specialty retail, supermarkets, private schools, etc). And there is also several times that in apparently empty street level spaces. Many of them are not always empty: they get leased for "cool office space" - but it's kind of the same from the street: frosted or painted glass front at best. The more noticeable spaces are stores that were there for years and finally gave up and closed (indeed café, hardware store, art galleries, furniture, schools, home goods, bakery - that should be at least surviving if population density was the only issue.)

Just because street level retail is aspirational to the city planners of San Francisco, will not be enough to make it happen.

> ℤ ⊂ ℝ
That is not at all obvious without some canonical isomorphism acting on ℤ, or at least is a behaviour strictly dependent on your particular set theoretic construction of the reals.

E.g. for the cauchy sequence construction of the reals, the image of the integer 1 under this canonical isomorphism would be the equivalence class of the sequence (1,0,0,0,...), but these are of course not the same object in a set theoretic sense.

Friendly reminder: you can buy an LG OLED and use it as a dumb TV by not connecting it to the internet. It still works, it doesn’t nag you about it, and it doesn’t try to sneak its way onto local WiFi. I don’t know how long this will last, but can confirm that it’s currently true as of this date.

Somewhat oddly I guess, my thesis advisor worked on both high temperature intermetallics and ice (the latter through a partnership with a US Army Lab in Hanover, NH). I actually did my thesis on a nickel-aluminide--one of the intermetallic alloys that basically didn't go anywhere commercially interesting--and went off in other directions anyway. But he established an ice lab and it's really an interesting material (which in the 80s, the US military was really interested in for obvious reasons).

Perhaps he's just calling it "not unreasonable" from the point of view of Apple, not from some objective definition of reasonableness. Of course, Apple is not going to consider itself an attacker in its own security model. Very few software companies are honest/realistic enough to consider "inside threats" from their own software. So if (and only if) you are Apple, it's reasonable for you to trust Apple to use JIT safely.

Of course, as an end user, you need to consider third party apps and your operating system as potential attackers in your own threat model. So, from a user's point of view, allowing the OS vendor to do something that a third party app can't do, doesn't make much sense.

Let's be clear, I am not arguing for subtypes. Subtypes are a mess, that is why no type system supports them. I am arguing against any types at all. So type inference being harder is not a problem, because there won't be any type inference. I know, that is a tough pill to swallow, type inference is like a hard drug for computer scientists.

Subsets or subcollections, on the other hand, are fine. Of course you will have proof obligations, but that is not a problem, and automation can take care of most of this (note that automation is much more flexibel than hardcoded type inference).

Maybe it is a feedback loop, rather than a tautology? The things many mathematicians find interesting are the things that the general mathematician community is working on.
