>I have no conspiracy theory or agenda. I simply observed, over time, from Musk's and Tesla's OWN STATEMENTS that he and Tesla insist that "Full Self Driving" is a legitimate claim (despite failing to prove it in court and settling to avoid a verdict) and that this is in contrast to the requirement that the driver be '100% in control at all times'.

If the misimpression created by the marketing term is corrected by the explicit and repeated warnings and instructions given to Tesla drivers, then the marketing term cannot be blamed for inattentive driving.

>This is not evidence, it is a theory that there is a conspiracy against Musk.

The coincidence is the evidence here.

>The fact is that Tesla's primary customers are environmentally-conscious, which goes with more left-leaning politics, yet Muck choose the right-wing side, who typically deny climate change issues and hate electric cars.

So you are, in fact, supporting my point, which is that the attacks on him intensified due to the political views he expressed.

Like I said:

"Both Musk and Tesla are far from perfect, but the lengths that people go to to attack them is obviously agenda-driven and a result of emotions"

Trying to blame Autopilot accidents on Tesla instead of inattentive drivers is example of that.

>btw, only about 17% of journalists are unionized

Probably didn’t. Can’t say definitively. Shipments of critical resources could have been disrupted, et cetera.

Doing this with zero context was probably reckless by this hacker. It also likely had zero real-world consequences.

Show HN: RepNet – Bootstrapping Web-of-Trust with AI Estimates
Web-of-Trust could help to address many problems on the web - spam, sybil attacks, fake reviews, and for holding journalists, politicians and businesses to account.

This small blockchain based database (about 5,000 users/20,000 AI ratings) helps to simulate what might be possible. It allows you to choose two users and see the Web-Of-Trust rating one might create for the other based on the AI estimates of trust in the web between them.
I wonder why people don't use fromYaml + toJson to avoid stupid errors with indent.

Yaml is for all intents and purposes a superset of JSON so if you render your subtree as JSON you can stick it in a Yaml file and you don't need to care with indentation.
There are better options[0] already announced for RISC-V laptops.

The chip there (spacemiT K1) is available in Banana Pi BPi-F3, which is already shipping. It is RVA22 with the ratified V extension.

A laptop with JH7110 makes little sense today.

The Sierpinski pyramid has Hausdorff dimension 2 but topological dimension 3, or am I mistaken?
We often use RabbitMQ like middle-ware, and it is boring because it has proven very reliable.

Most people that deal with <40k users a day will have low server concurrency loads, and can get away with database abstracted state-machine structures.

Distributed systems is hard to get right, and there are a few key areas one needs to design right...

If I was to give some guidance, than these tips should help:

1. user UUID to allow separable concurrent transactions with credential caching

2. global UTC time backed by GPS/RTC/NTP

3. client side application-layer load-balancing through Time-division multiplexing (can reduce peak loads by several orders of magnitude)

4. store, filter, and forward _meaningful_ data

5. peer-to-peer AMQP with role enforcement reduces the producer->consumer design to a single library. i.e. if done right the entire infrastructure becomes ridiculously simple, but if people YOLO it... failure is certain.

6. automatic route permission and credential management from other languages can require a bit of effort to sync up reliably. Essentially you end up writing a distributed user account management system in whatever ecosystem you are trying to bolt on. The client user login x509 certs can make this less laborious.

7. redacted

8. batched payload 128kB AMQP messages, as depending how the consumer is implemented this can help reduce hits to the APIs (some user UUID owns those 400 insertions for example.)

9. One might be able to just use Erlang/Elixir channels instead, and that simplifies the design further.

Have a great day, =3
I've used the same plastic water bottle daily for the past ~12 years. It's hardly showing it's age, and will likely remain usable for quite a few more years. We can do far better at reuse and reduce, if we design for it. But of course the incentives don't really line up; businesses will fail if products are too durable.
We also have much much bigger single machines available for reasonable money. So a lot of reasonable workloads can fit in one machine now that used to require a small cluster
He was involved in the AMQP mess, not in designing RabbitMQ.
That's got considerably better GPU (RX 550 vs R5 230), and also more storage.

Very expensive even so if it's the old SG2042. Interesting and unexpected (so early) if it's the bug-fixed SG2044 with RVV 1.0. But still, most people will be better off with SG2380 with 16 cores, each at least twice as fast, when that arrives.

No one has any solutions.

The solution is to make parenthood high prestige, higher than doctor or lawyer or CEO or rapper or billionaire. Then everyone will want to do it.

A pity that despite a hundred years of marketing we are clueless about how to do that.

There are 'hygiene' actions like getting rid of credentialism, so lowering the perceived-to-be-required investment in each child, and decreasing density (which inversely correlates with number of children independently of other factors, and giving people an optimistic life plan and expectation, and changing marriage/partnering back from being a capstone (something you do once you are established) to being a cornerstone (something you do at the start of adulthood, to build your lives on).

But ultimately it's about the social prestige. Try saying "she's a soccer mom" in tones of awe and respect, out in public, and watch the funny looks you get.
> Why isn’t he in prison?

He very much could, if politics changed. The US hates NK not because they are authoritarian but because they are not aligned. If they were to be aligned, and this guy didn't act on proper authorization, he could find himself in hot waters in the USA.

Plus he might have broken a bunch of "international" rules which could see him in trouble if he was to travel to some countries.

It is really reckless; but then there is a good chance he was acting behind some agency.
But in this case the "local state" is legal and has officially banned Avocados. So why should those people have any buisness with US inspectors? They shouldn't be there?

But maybe it is a connected case, of an area where there are Avocados, but local militias want to get rid of them.

I've never used the original so this might be a faithful reproduction of the original (it's kind of cool), but it looks like the line tool and the multicoloured tool interact weirdly, and it doesn't erase the previous line when you move the mouse, instead you get a cool fan of colour instead.

Yes only the elite have the internet, but also the internet is likely used internally for communication, which is important for resource distribution.

>Looks like nothing much and then suddenly it is everywhere

Already happened. 10+ billion cores already shipped as of RISC-V Summit in December 2022. Assume a much higher number by now.

What's new is the general developer/enthusiast visibility we're starting to see.

For ARM that was Raspberry Pi. For RISC-V, the "Raspberry Pi" moment was the release of VisionFive 2, in January 2023, using this same JH7110 SoC.

There are better SoCs now, and SBCs using them e.g. spacemiT K1, in Banana Pi BPi-F3.

That chip has 8 cores that implement RVA22 with Vector extension.

In contrast, JH7110 has only 4 cores, they are slower, and they only implement RVA20, which is essentially RISC-V as of the original user and supervisor specs ratified in late 2019. It makes little sense today, as RISC-V and its ecosystem have advanced considerably.
Hong Kong authorities halt alleged smuggler shifting 596 high-end CPUs to China
I have stopped writing bug reports altogether.

I believe to write good bug reports, and put serious effort in it to provide test cases, describe the environment the bug thrives in, make assumptions on what may be wrong, etc. A good bug report takes half an hour of my time, easily. Only to then be ignored for 15+ years and eventually silently closed because "we don't use that architecture anymore". Looking at you, KDE, and Atlassian (= the problem exists regardless on the monetarization format).

It's just no longer worth my time.

Good result.

There's rarely such a thing as a clear, objectively simple 'good result' for this sort of action because outcomes have knock-on effects. For example, if the North Koreans responsible for maintaining internet access were executed over this that diminishes the result significantly.
there is a lot of 'looking the other way' when it comes to people hacking 'adversaries'. Just look at people going at russia's network now. western authorities arent exactly busy trying to stop that. i imagine similar priorities for NK, china and other places.

I would agree if alcohol and tobacco weren't also legal and something young people can easily get access to.

Additionally, legal or not, the product is always there, it's just a matter of whether it's regulated and relatively safe, or not regulated and sold in the black market with impurities and profits the international drug cartels.

That said, I think the line to draw is when the drug is so concentrated that a few milligrams can cause a dangerous overdose. That's not the case with weed (excluding concentrates), tobacco or even alcohol.

This doesn’t even make sense. Surely you must realise you don’t actually know anything about this topic. Like you aren’t secretly thinking you’re an expert in this in your mind.

It’s cool if you you don’t think I do or not; that’s not at all what I’m trying to convince you of. I know what I know, I’m not looking for your validation on that topic here because again you aren’t in a position to give it. Not that I don’t like you or any personal quality because I don’t know you.
I have a friend who got their paper retracted, because it turns out they had made a big mistake in implementing an algorithm -- so big that after fixing it, the results entirely disappeared.

In that case, the retraction isn't didn't really get any publicity, and I'm actually proud of them for doing it, as many people wouldn't bother.

However, in practice I would say the majority of retractions are for wrongdoing on the part of the authors.

I wish, particularly in the case of the modern internet, that it was easier for authors to attach extras to old papers -- I have old papers where I would like to say "there is a typo in Table 2.3", and most journals have basically no way of doing this. I'm not retracting the paper over that of course! This is one advantage of arXiv, you can upload small fixes.

This is all interesting, but misses the point: the bridge collapsed due to a social (management, responsibilities, organization, ...) failure. Investigating the engineering story distracts from that, both in the video and apparently effectively as there is a NTSB investigation and not mentioning if any organizational review if the same rigor.
Going to give the unpopular answer. Queues, Streams and Pub/Sub are poorly understood concepts by most engineers. They don't know when they need them, don't know how to use them properly and choose to use them for the wrong things. I still work with all of the above (SQS/SNS/RabbitMQ/Kafka/Google Pub/Sub).

I work at a company that only hires the best and brightest engineers from the top 3-4 schools in North America and for almost every engineer here this is their first job.

My engineers have done crazy things like:

- Try to queue up tens of thousands of 100mb messages in RabbitMQ instantaneously and wonder why it blows up.

- Send significantly oversized messages in RabbitMQ in general despite all of the warnings saying not to do this

- Start new projects in 2024 on the latest RabbitMQ version and try to use classic queues

- Creating quorum queues without replication policies or doing literally anything to make them HA.

- Expose clusters on the internet with the admin user being guest/guest.

- The most senior architect in the org declared a new architecture pattern, held an organization-wide meeting and demo to extol the new virtues/pattern of ... sticking messages into a queue and then creating a backchannel so that a second consumer could process those queued messages on demand, out of order (and making it no longer a queue). And nobody except me said "why are you putting messages that you need to process out of order into a queue?"...and the 'pattern' caught on!

- Use Kafka as a basic message queue

- Send data from a central datacenter to globally distributed datacenters with a global lock on the object and all operations on it until each target DC confirms it has received the updated object. Insist that this process is asynchronous, because the data was sent with AJAX requests.

As it turns out, people don't really need to do all that great of a job and we still get by. So tools get misused, overused and underused.

In the places where it's being used well, you probably just don't hear about it.

Edit: I forgot to list something significant. There's over 30 microservices in our org to every 1 engineer. Please kill me. I would literally rather Kurt Cobain myself than work at another organization that has thousands of microservices in a gigantic monorepo.

I was about to say "concurrent writes shouldn't be a problem because localStorage is synchronous and JS is single-threaded," but then I started thinking about multiple tabs, WebWorkers, and multi-process browsers and figured I should double-check the spec.

> Warning! The localStorage getter provides access to shared state. This specification does not define the interaction with other agent clusters in a multiprocess user agent, and authors are encouraged to assume that there is no locking mechanism. A site could, for instance, try to read the value of a key, increment its value, then write it back out, using the new value as a unique identifier for the session; if the site does this twice in two different browser windows at the same time, it might end up using the same "unique" identifier for both sessions, with potentially disastrous effects.
