Yeah the Montreal area transport system uses the opus system (the disposable cards are part of that) for everything. Sadly, it's now bizarrely more complicated with the weird zones that they recently added after half a decade of consultations that were meant to... stream line intercity travel! for example, if you take the metro in Montreal, then ride it until Laval, you have to buy a specific type of ticket with the two zones.

Meaning that if you just buy the normal ticket in any Montreal station and make the mistake of going to Laval, you can be fined and they do tons of ticket traps because they know that people make that mistake pretty ogten. It's not even a separate line or something. And the same card wouldn't let you take a bus in Laval because again, it's another ticket (but not the same as the one for the dual zone metro that I was talking about earlier...). Just a huge mess when it used to be much simpler before they "streamlined" it.

There is a bike lane going to a popular trail and crossing multiple major streets, also with bike lanes, as well as passing by multiple apartment complexes near my house. A two way lane with curbs and bollards, no cars parked there, with bike traffic lights and many side streets with 2 way stops (no stop on the street with the lane) or, at least, 4 way stops. I do drive on the same street from/to work as well as ride on the same lane to the trails. There are not many cyclists on it, orders of magnitude fewer than there are cars on the same street.

"Urbanists" greatly exaggerate the number of cyclists. And on top of being in the vast minority, cyclists don't ride many miles per day, they are limited by the biology. So, naturally, even if every motorist had the vehicle confiscated and replaced by a bicycle, you would not see nearly as much traffic of cyclists. And in reality the vast majority of the tiny minority of cyclists also own a car and use it for most trips, only riding for exercise/fun.
Call me crazy, but I'd guess that retail products that (a) have a SKU, and (b) are submarine advertised on websites with >40mm monthly viewers, however much they may be positioned as being sold to those with near-infinite disposable income, are really being hawked to those with merely disposable income.

Right. Much like the fact Find My functionality can still let you track your phone when it’s “dead”, the power requirements are just so low that when the phone can’t get going due to the requirements of the CPU + RAM + display there’s plenty to power NFC/BT beacon stuff for a while.

An AirTag can operate on a CR2032 for two years. An Energizer datasheet says that’s 235 mAh. An iPhone 13 Mini has a 2438 mAh battery (~10x). It makes sense the phone could do it for at least a day or two with the left over charge.

(I don’t know how long it would actually keep working)

No thank you. Put your personal bin first in PATH, and use /usr/bin or /bin for referring to the shadowed programs.

"Safe super-intelligence" is an oxymoron.
I assume all regular customers will be paying a fare of $3.25 or less per ride on the reusable Opus card (fare purchased in a 10-ride pack). Essentially you’re paying for the chip with the very-occasional-commuter one-ride convenience fee.
Underrated comment of the century.

The insane lure of gob-smacking amounts of money that got thrown around the tech industry in the past decade with FAANGS unfortunately brought in a lot of people who really weren't passionate about computer science in the first place.

By way of contrast, compare your average software developer with an electrical/mechanical engineer. Just as challenging an industry (if not MORE SO in a lot of ways), and yet the pay is usually a fraction of what a software dev can make. Nobody becomes an EE for the money.
Whether or not there's an etiquette for HN, there's definitely guidelines for HN which among other things encourage commenters not to accuse each other of not reading the articles, and to give each other the benefit of the doubt.

As it happens, I did read the article before writing my first comment. That would be the article which uses the word "secret" in its title but neither "secret" nor "secrecy" anywhere else in the body. Put another way, having actually read the article, among the many interesting things it says, one thing I know it doesn't say is exactly what it means by its title

I had various Psion models in the 90s. Several of the people involved in the design of those things went to do modern-ish devices with Psion series 5-style keyboards, including the Cosmo Communicator. I was curious enough to back the Astro Slide 5G project, which attempted to "reverse the clamshell" to make a device with Psion series 5-style keyboard that closes to resemble a modern standard all-screen rectangular slab. It appears to have gone horribly wrong during final manufacturing at a Chinese factory that closed down during COVID, with thousands of IndieGoGo backers not having received their Astro Slide devices after several years (I am one). A shame. Anyway this article shows the Psion 5 and the Communicator side-by-side. That's a way out of date device now running ancient Android on a slow CPU, and sadly the refresh project seems to have died on the vine :-(

Looked through the Github files and I don't see anything that describes the hardware. This web page shows a picture of the insides of the camera housing (click "Next" once to see the picture):

https://pigazing.dcford.org.uk/howitworks.php

The camera is a Watec 902H2 Ultimate, and the lense is one of these:

https://github.com/dcf21/pi-gazing/blob/master/configuration...

Probably the "Siemens 1/2" F1.2 4-12mm Varifocal Auto Iris C Mount CCTV Lens" since the AutoIris port on the camera is connected to the lense in the picture.
The video capture is an Easier CAP USB capture device, like this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/355668644499

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32832474454.html

The Pi is a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B according to the text but the photo caption says it's a Pi Mk 3, maybe either will work. It has a Pi Hat adapter board on the top (POE plugs into it and it seems to have a relay that connects to the camera, maybe to control power to the camera). The camera outdoor housing is made by Genie, looks like a TPH-2000, no longer made, runs on 240V and has a heater:

In the picture, maybe that's the heater board underneath the camera?

Just some ideas that I found...

.. temperature is critical, and if you experiment with setting your thermostat exaggeratedly high or low for a while you will eventually notice it has an impact on sleep.

... getting cold was a frequent struggle as I would lose the covers and they would be twisted up and I would have to drowsily untwist. Now I wear a long sleeve fleece button shirt backward like a smock. Backward because the tails of the shirt always fall down and keep your side warm. The covers I just pull up to armpit and have never had to wake up since.

I hate light masks too, so I cover my face with lightweight athletic shorts that have a cooling effect. Then I use a small half-size pillow (walmart chopped memory foam) and turn my head sideways to muffle the ear not facing the pillow.

mitichondrial DNA seems far too conserved to have a role as dynamic as "processor", but I didnt read TFA
> The problem is, they can be just as easily cloned

But you can only clone a ticket who's ID you use. So you can buy a ticket and clone it, but what have you achieved? It is still validated "on the backend" once you use either the first time.

So the only real risk is that you clone a random person's ticket between them buying it and using it which is a security flaw, but probably a very minor issue in real-world use.

Maybe there could be slight issue with day passes? You could buy a single day pass then issue clones at a lower price. However it is likely not an issue worth paying for more expensive chips to avoid.
That's all lesbians then. By definition, lesbians are female individuals who are homosexual, i.e. their sexual orientation is towards others of the same sex, which means that their dating pool consists only of other female individuals.

This excludes all transwomen, because - also by definition - transwomen are male.
Exactly, like the Netherlands and Denmark…

I kind of do believe in a deterministic universe, but I thought quantum physics disagree with that.

Don't let the world tell you what you want.

A few days before I found out a company I worked at early was going to go public, which ended up 5x-ing my net worth, I had just been thinking, "Even if I had all the money in the world, I don't think I would want to live somewhere else, or drive something else, or own other stuff."

Everybody and their brother had an opinion about what I "should" do with my newfound wealth, but having that "Don't let the world tell you what you want" refrain in my head kept me from blowing it on a bunch of stuff that wouldn't have made me any happier.
I can assure you that you have no idea what you're talking about, starting with the fact that you obviously didn't watch the video.

It isn't aiming anything. It isn't adjusting for anything. It's doing so from a stationary point.

The ML isn't used for anything other than a simple "is there the thing I was trained to look for within this area?" It's basically a ML version of something one could pretty easily do in OpenCV.

There's NOTHING about this useful for aerial bombing, which involves dozens of problems much harder than "this is the spot you should aim for."

There are probably dozens of smartphone apps for helping marksmen calculate adjustments that are about a hundred times more complicated, and more useful for (potentially) hurting people, than this.

And then there's this Stuff Made Here project where the guy makes a robotic bow that can track objects and hit them no matter where you're aiming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MkrNVic7pw&pp=ygUTYm93IHRoY...

I can't stand people who act like it's reasonable for the government to monitor and harass people for stuff like this. The second our government is harassing him or the SMH guy, I'm moving to Canada.
I loved the FullStackOpen course by the University of Helsinki (really it's just a self-paced online tutorial).

https://fullstackopen.com/en/part1

You can learn all the modern React basics there within 10 hours, and there's plenty more about integrating it into a full stack web app.

You should focus on understanding creating components, JSX, useState, useEffect.
Just heard it on hackathon in Berkeley. That is awesome
An ecosystem (world) has all sorts of niches. Pigeons (Rock Doves) are simply living and evolving according to circumstances they encounter. Some pigeons have been given medals during wartime (1). All organisms do what they do, because that is what they do. You do too, but you get to be retrospective about it on internet forums. Pigeons don't ... yet.

"Flying rats". OK so what is wrong with rats? They often perform a initial clean up role and live blameless lives, if we want to think of them in a positive way - they don't care. Rats and many other "pests" tend to get "out of control" thanks to mostly human interventions: dumping waste inappropriately and the like.

I really loved my Series 5. That keyboard was awesome! I still have it, but the ribbon cable is broken.

I'd take a computer with a color screen, Bluetooth, running Linux and that keyboard - it could be fun for ham radio stuff.

I’m guessing that the synchronous update architecture they’re using only really only makes sense for persistent memory and that this couldn’t easily be adapted to conventional hard drives or SSDs?
The key to this implementing this sort of policy without hurting poor people is to introduce a corresponding tax credit or stimulus payment (potentially means tested) such that driving a normal vehicle a normal amount comes out even and poor people can actually come out ahead if they make more responsible choices. You want people to feel it at the pump so it affects their decision making without having it be punitive.
Offloading the packet processing doesn't really save any RAM at all. The limitations you're discussing are related to running on a low power ~700mhz MIPS or ARM core with very low performance. As you said, using a VPN or adding additional routing rules requires the packets to pass through the CPU, which demonstrates that all the software and buffers for doing the routing on the CPU are present within the 16 or 32Mb ram. It's just attached to a very low performance CPU core.

It's perfectly possible to load the same OpenWRT release on a modern x86 and run in the same amount of ram with much higher performance. That's how I do my routing on a 1gbit/s synchronous fiber connection and I can do line-speed wireguard just fine.

Distributions like OpenWRT require so little RAM because they select very conservative options when compiling everything, are very selective about what they include, build against minimal C libraries like musl libc, make use of highly integrated system utilities like busybox, and strip things like debugging symbols from the resulting binaries.
Should be "at most once" and "at least once", it's already used in other distributed systems with the same kind of problem
Hong Kong's Octopus card uses Felica, as far as I know.

It's conceptually very similar to MIFARE – a fixed function IC implementing a fully offline stored value purse – but uses a stack that differs from ISO 14443 A on pretty much all layers. (It was planned to possibly become ISO 14443 C, but that never happened.)

> The same thing with IKEA: I always rely on the manual and just blindly follow the instructions, and gets very frustrated if the instructions miss one step.

Thing I figured out assembling IKEA stuff in the past few years: if it seems like they skipped a step, look carefully at the details in pictures. Perhaps use a magnifying glass. There's going to be only one way to get from step N to step N+1, and all the information to figure it out is there. The drawings of all the pieces, from major parts to tiniest of screws, have accurate details, and there's enough of them to disambiguate the situation.

I’m a grown man and I quickly fell into a flowchart mindset when I started, where I checked if a raider: A) Had skills I needed and an appropriate personality, and B) was healthy. That decided if he was scrapped for parts, sold wholesale or recruited. There were counted instances where NPCs didn’t end up in the meat grinder, as viable members of society were few and far between, and they had to be lucky enough to be incapacitated instead of dying in a kill box.

It took a conscious effort not to do this kind of morbid activities. I found late into my Rimworld experience that healing and releasing prisoners nets you good relations with other factions. After releasing 5 or so of them with a full belly and no injuries the tribes and cities around you decide “Hey, you’re alright, mister, we won’t raid you anymore”. Except for pirates, space pirates will never like you. So they either become chicken feed, an involuntary organ donor or a couch, maybe all three.

Time and effort and resources put into helping people that came specifically to kill you doesn’t happen spontaneously and I doubt a kid would favor that style of play. I wouldn’t want my son to tell me stories of how he turns people into a log or how his cyber super soldier can level 100s of tribesmen with a minigun by himself.

I’d rather introduce him to other war crime sims like Factorio where humans aren’t the subject of his ire.
Because it causes really bad incentives. Sometimes including making roads more dangerous with speed changes!
Neat Story Behind Why This Is Hosted Right Off the Google.com URL?
Purely just a little curious as to the history of how this page:

Ended up being housed right off of the Google.com domain. Any neat story, or something boring?
So what do you think about the paper?
A few years back I saw a great article that listed out some fairly reasonable criticisms of Cell-cultured meats. Wasn't one of those "but think of the farmers!" type things. More a list of the hurdles to over come.

The one thing it raised was that cultured meats do not have any sort of immune system. Thus if they are not produced in, what amounts to, TSMC level sterile environments there is the potential of entire batches being rendered useless as bacteria have a feast. There was also a lot of issue with scale, things I am sure you are aware of.

For specialty meats, yeah it makes sense.

But for pure scale I am a bit more hopeful on things like Precision Fermentation of yeasts as being a much more viable meat alternative. Turns out things like Quorn were way ahead of there time in that sense.
As a developer, I've long tended to leaning into the tech, to figuring out how to script & control my world. (It's been a strong distinction versus a lot of folks I see much more interested in getting through the mission at hand at express a pace or a directly a path as possible).

I'm not a great vim user by any means, but it feels comfortable & nice for me at this point. Vim is forever part of the virtuous cycle, forever letting you mix this idea for doing something with that technique. It fits my mentality fantastically well. Computers rarely have suchnfantadtically well equipped sandboxed, and even more rarely is software so module & flexible, so readily recombineable.

And I just absolutely adore being in a world where anything can be scripted, where every single ounce of power I get compounds with and works with every other bit of power I've accrued. Where everything fits together, and is useable on the fly, or usable when trying to do more elaborate crafting.

One little recommendation I would have given my old self, expand the power domain. I was a little slow to really get into scripting. VimScript was kind of ok but also for me personally kind of ass, but I should have leaned in more. Now a days NeoVim has excellent Lua support built in which is great, and I really really really love Denops which lets me use a lot more tools and libraries and ecosystem that I know & that are more mainstream (JavaScript). https://github.com/vim-denops/denops.vim

This is totally off topic, but the one thing that's not in any way at all modular or composeable is that vim assumes there's only one screen, only one output. It's been almost a decade since Tarruda blogged the idea of Smart UI where multiple apps could effectively start sharing a headless neovim, where there could be multiple different terminals at once, but there's been (afaik) no progress decoupling the core of vim from rendering into one and only one screen, which is my transcendent vim dream to expand beyond.

Who do you think is promoting this sentiment?
Yes, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indianapolis 500, is located in Speedway, Indiana, which has its own local government and police force, in spite of the fact that it is both surrounded by Indianapolis and entirely contained within Marion County, whose government, aside from a few exceptions like Speedway, is entirely consolidated with the government of the city of Indianapolis[1].

Local government can be complicated.

All the patents and "sekhurity" isn't helping. A decade ago, I ended up with a bunch of programmable NFC stickers that my Galaxy S7 suddenly wasn't able to read, because some MIFARE intellectual property issue retroactively bricked this class of NFC stickers. Good luck figuring out where on the compatibility matrix the Amazon listing you're looking at is.
The reason that we now have such harmful policy that enables any man who says he's a woman to access any space that was intended to be only for women, is because of these sexist redefinitions of "woman" and "man" that have been pushed and promoted as if they're some sort of progressive ideal. People have ended up believing this nonsense to the extent that they'll support law and policy that hurts women and girls, just so some males who claim to be marginalized can have their desires pandered to.

I wouldn't vote for the Republicans either. What I'd like instead is Democrats to understood how regressive and corrosive to women's rights this type of policy is. It's so disappointing that they have such a misogynistic blind spot on sex and gender issues, yet can recognize the importance of women's rights in areas like reproductive choice.
"I always rely on the manual and just blindly follow the instructions, and gets very frustrated if the instructions miss one step"

But why do people make incomplete manuals? If I have a step by step guidance and it doesn't work, because some steps were left out, than this is just a wrong manual!

(I share your frustration)
Gluing together libraries and dealing with dependencies. There are few well written libraries that just work, like axios. Especially in React Native, looking for a library is like looking for scrap part in a flea market or in a junk yard.
