The point may have been lost: Fully 50% of deaths occurred during the pre-SUV era. That's 2 million out of 4 million, not a trivial number. If we go out to 1998 and call that a less intense SUV era, that's 3 million deaths, of 75% of all deaths since the beginning of time.

This, to me, on first inspection, is pretty strong evidence indicating that the 10 cm prediction is very close to nonsense.

The prediction is no different from saying TSLA will go to $1000 because of some randomly-picked variable that will never be tested. Sounds fantastic and cam make me look very intelligent, yet, I would not have any accountability at all in making such a prediction.

Now, if I wanted to sell a book about how to make a billion dollars trading Tesla, I would write a bunch of blog posts explaining how this could happen and feature a nice picture of myself holding the book along with an Amazon link. Which is what this article is about.
It's very possible. I've honestly stopped counting the ways Microsoft is attacking my computer and network through Windows. At this point I treat the entire OS as adversarial, and go so far as isolating my few Windows machines onto their own VLAN where they can do the least damage.
> However, that same system prevent me from buying Kindle books from the Kindle app on device, for example. Even though I can open the browser on that same device and buy them from Amazon.

I’m sure Apple would actually prefer that you buy the Kindle books on the app, even if they didn’t get a cut of the sale. It is actually Amazon choosing not to do it in order to dodge paying the payment processing fees.
Why wouldn't you ask for liability protection? No matter how safe, like even if the injection was actually pure water, thousands of people would be convinced they were injured and sue for millions which, even if you won every case, costs a fortune in legal fees.

No vaccine is perfect. They work by showing your immune system some example germ features, and most people's immune systems learn to defend against them. But immune systems are extremely complex and variable between people, and you can never guarantee a particular response.

Vaccines sometimes completely eliminate some diseases (smallpox is one). They do this not by giving every person 100% protection individually, but by reducing transmission enough that the germ dies out.
> If one is consistently awful

Just a thought exercise, but it seems like this is, by definition, not independent.

Someone that is truly independent would not feel either option is “consistently awful”, but find that some aspects of either occasionally aligns with your values, or neither do.

It seems like if you sometimes align with one, and never align with the other, that’s still not truly independent.
Very nice concept, but I'm afraid this device running on a MediaTek SoC will never run a main line Linux so I expect to see 2-3 years of support.

I would prefer for the device to be inherently hackable and that requires running on a main line kernel.
> "We got fined for getting off the train at the wrong stop" is not much of a travel story though.

I was on a plane recently and two people in the row behind me were having a lengthy moan about their respective travel experiences / disasters. They stopped escalating when one of them said "That's nothing, we were just coming in to land when the volcano started to erupt."

I was really tempted to stand up and pitch in with a line about landing in Tokyo when Godzilla chose that precise moment to attack, but the fasten-seatbelts sign had just lit up, so I didn't.

It's React who taught a whole new generation of developers that invisible can be re-rendered (also that generating vdom nodes is called "render" for some reason).

First, invisible things, both d-none or v-hidden, usually don't even have any sort of a graphical context to re-render themselves in, and when they do, it just gets invalidated. Sizing nuances apply to v-hidden, but if you chose it over d-none, it's reasonably consequential.

Second, you don't have to worry about it at all, unless it's quadratic+ for some reason or is covered by performance requirements as unacceptable.

Is there anything relevant to recovery / graceful functional degradation in SoC2?

If not, this feels like an obvious match there.

E.g. "Company has a defined and demonstrated process by which they can (a) offer degraded but limited functionality in the event of full system outage & (b) accept data updates via a backup method, until system restoration."

Sure would have helped with Change Healthcare...
OLED are fantastic, I have one. But they just can’t get as bright and I’m not sure you’re ever going to solve the degradation issue.

You’re right the technology won’t stand still, but will it be able to match what MicroLED can do with at same price?

Apple just used an amazing OLED on the new iPad Pros. But they had to stack two panels to do that and obviously it’s not TV sized. Maybe something like that could compete with MicroLED better but the price is really going to be up there.

Plus you don’t have to start with TV sized things. I remember OLED starting in small display applications like front panel displays for some electronics. I’d imagine production MicroOED would be similar.

One of the issues Apple has is that they use extremely high-quality displays with VERY tiny pixels. You can’t just make the Apple Watch display significantly worse, people will notice.

But there are tons of consumer electronics out there they don’t need such high resolution displays. Things where it could be a good option early on.
This, I find passkeys very difficult to understand.

It seems I can use my phone as my "passkey". Okay nice, that should mean I can use the same one on multiple devices, just like with a hardware Yubikey, right? Well apparently no. Use a phone as a passkey on one device for a web account, try to log into the same account on another device, using the phone passkey, and it doesn't work, claims there is no passkey. I can't see what passkeys are actually present on the phone, so I don't know what's wrong.

There's so many different ways to have and use passkeys, and no way to tell what the status is. I have no idea how the less-technical users are supposed to be able to figure this stuff out.

It's what we had before the laws prohibiting direct-to-consumer/manufacturer-owned dealerships. It's hard for me to find any reliable sources that explain why we got those laws though (was it because direct-to-consumer was bad?)

It seems like the EU has reined in the worst excesses of dealerships a lot, and allows direct-to-consumer. Maybe the US will follow suit in a few decades.

Regulation in this country has become a sad affair, once again.
That's probably a significant part of it. Also accessibility of the monthly passes. I used to live near a rail stop in Tempe/Phx area, and would use it when I had to go to the airport or to Downtown Phx as it was easier than dealing with parking. The ticket kiosks were a bit of a pain, but easy enough, widely available and not overly expensive.

I didn't use it that much, but did see ticket checks on one of the trips, nobody was without one.
I’d like to see a payment structure more like a bounty for efficacy. If you think you can cure DMD, you know up-front what you’ll get paid, and it depends on how well it works, dosing schedule, side effects, etc. If your drug is safe but barely works, you get paid a tiny bit of money. If DMD patients’ families want the drug and the manufacturer is willing to sell it at the appropriately low price, fine.

IMO the actual failure here is the fact that Sarepta can charge $3.2M for a product without demonstrated efficacy.

Modded or vanilla FO4? I'm curious if modded works at all and how much of an additional hassle is it compared to windows (which, depending on how much you are adding, can be quite a bit of work anyway).
Oh it doesn't, AMD and Intel gave up on that awhile back. v8086 mode might... but I'd guess it has quite a bit of errata. Everything else has most certainly changed. CPUs don't support the A20 gate for example. Nor do they truly support real mode (they boot in 'unreal mode' now). If you want a 386 compatible you're looking at ALi or DM&P CPUs that are basically Pentium/486/386 clones.

I'd argue the break started with the Pentium Pro, at that point things shifted architecturally.
Best go about using Redbean? The project is well documented: https://redbean.dev/

Not the ones that manage royalties payments to 1000s of authors depending on data collected by a national system of library IT, or the Secure (!) electronic delivery service that makes more than 100 million items available to researchers worldwide. See [1] for a full list of the massive range of non-trivial services operated by the National Library.

Well Information Management is literally what some of their staff are trained in, but the National Library is publicly funded, so can't update software on its own terms.

From a previous flagged submission "Do note that this twitter account is posting fake screenshots of product ideas."

I think since the content is fake and not immediate obvious the submission title should reflect that.
Though, just spitballing here - I'd guess that, in practice, a linear search still tends to handily outperform a binary search (and, by extension, a well-balanced binary tree) whenever the keys are stored in a compact array. Due to better interaction with the cache and speculative execution.

The "whiz technology person" after a few months of toying with NextJS will fully embrace the vendor-lock-in with a poorly optimized and rushed implementation using a team of college drop outs who themselves have only a few months (claimed as years) experience with SPA development.

The resulting monstrosity will not be properly reviewed by government purchasers and will become the absolute bane of existence for every end user.

Several years in the future a massive multimillion dollar contract will be issued by the government to overhaul the software. It will arrive years late and achieve exactly the same result.

New Tesla's have a lithium battery. The reason for the 12V is that the low voltage electrical system can periodically need to deliver and control ~100A @ 12V. To do this with DC to DC conversion from the ~400V main pack is complex and expensive. The legacy auto industry supply chain won't switch from 12V further complicating the economics of a better design.

If your Tesla senses a fault in the low voltage system it will cut the connection to the high voltage pack and send you a message saying "pull over your car may not restart" depending on the fault, this message will stay up for hours or even days. At this point your 12V batter is no longer being recharged. Once the battery gets really low the warning messages get more intense and the car will literally not move. At this point the doors still work, usually for hours. There is a ton of warning before your doors won't open.

This is for the lead acid case of older cars. Newer cars have a 12V lithium ion battery with higher capacity that may behave differently.

Next gen Tesla's (starting with the cybertruck) use 48V low voltage architecture that is 4x lower current. Tesla now has the scale to develop the 48V automotive supply chain internally in spite of the resistance from incumbent OEMs.

Overall I give this story a 3/10. Mostly FUD.
Why is this a related note? Is the regulatory framework around car retail a contributing factor to their vulnerability to ransomware?

This feels like a reflexive response to the mention of the word ‘car dealerships’, not something that will lead to a discussion of the substance of this article.

It is kind of a crazy model. You don't go to the Pepsi store for Pepsi and the Coke store for Coke. The exclusivity dealerships get enshrined in law is kinda nuts.

Still, I think there is something to be said for independent dealerships overall for service quality. Trying to get a Tesla serviced is still something of a nightmare. In comparison the service departments of dealerships have are much more robust.
>Consumers should have the option to purchase directly from the manufacturer.

They should have the option, sure.

But what difference do you think this makes in reality? The process ends up being the similar.

>but I admire the business model of buying directly from Tesla

A lot of people don't want to buy a $40,000+ item online. Tesla understands this, which is why they opened "showrooms" to have real people walk you through the process.

Oh, and let's not get started on surprise repair costs from Tesla, as if they are immune to that ridiculousness.

Saying "no stealerships" (so clever) doesn't change the fact that there's a manual process involved with buying a car.

> You can work for a year on an app for iPhone or iPad and then not be able to distribute it if Apple doesn't want to.

Happened to my company.

At the time they had no guidelines on sending "tips" digitally, and when we asked for an exception (before building) we were granted it.

Submission day, rejected.

Cue 3 months of back and forth, which ended with "yeah, you gotta use IAP for that, and we're gonna take 30% from the tips."
> This forum will never understand is that 95% of Apple users DO NOT want to go to a random website and download to save a few bucks.

Almost everyone uses Google's store on Android. The average person doesn't know what 3rd party stores are, they don't go to websites to make payments. I'm a more advanced user and never had to go to a website and download and app, unless I absolutely wanted to.

Not sure why you think it would be different on iOS.
It did work that way though. I've never payed MSRP on a brand new car. Good luck doing that if all you can do is order from the manufacturer's website.

> All that land they own can be used for productive economic activity or housing.

No it can't. You still need places where cars can be repaired as well as storage for parts/cars inventory. The only way you reclaim some land is if service gets worse.

Edit: For example, Tesla sells direct to consumers but there's still a Tesla "showroom" in my town. In terms of footprint/appearance it's basically a dealership. So where are the land savings?
Allegedly there are already off list SKUs from both AMD and Intel that don't support 16/32bit code and boot up without the legacy bits. How far they went in that? I don't know. I'd hope they removed LDT etc. and reduced GDT to just ES and GS (or just used an esbase and gsbase MSRs).
Create an giant dream together using Dream Machine from Luma Labs
What if we could make and experience one big dream video together?

Infinite Dream is way to collaboratively create that dream, and then randomly walk the branches.

Users can submit a video generated from the last frame of an existing video, which is then added to the existing video and the infinite dream grows.

Or just view it in infinite mode where when you reach the end of the dream, you're just popped back into it.

This is mostly just an art project exploring random walks through an AI-generated video space - suggestions for improvement welcome.

"I’m going to assume the clinical trial bar exists for a good reason unless proven otherwise."

You cannot, nevertheless, assume that its implementation is absolutely optimal.

There already exists a "Right to Try" exemption for terminally ill patients - precisely what the GP was talking about. https://www.fda.gov/patients/learn-about-expanded-access-and...

It was only introduced in 2018 (federally), so it is a relatively recent development, mostly due to pressure from terminally ill patients and their relatives.

Another thing that is being discussed is that the FDA should allow use of drugs that were approved in other developed countries, without requiring separate clinical trials in the US. American patients aren't that different from British or French patients, after all.

I'm not sure why you hate car dealerships so much, doesn't your opinion apply to any distributor between the manufacturer and the end consumer? This is a the same narrative that people said about bicycle retailers as well, but there are significant problems with the DTC model, notably service and support. And if you look where dealerships are located nobody wants to build housing in a big strip beside the freeway.
I love how anything negative to Apple gets buried with the quickness. They can do no wrong it seems.

I suppose dealerships couldn't get hacked if they didn't exist.
They’re already playing that game through App Review anyway though. This just gives them more granular sets of punishments they can dole out beyond just “accepted” or “rejected.” It also discourages seedy developers from just opening up chains of fly-by-night developer accounts to upload scams, since they could gate a lot of these elevated API privileges behind needing to have a good reputation.
