I am not sure that the vision in Teslas is adequate with -any- amount of processing to drive a car. Spatial resolution is limited, as is seeing distant vehicles during merges, etc.

Secondarily, there is no guarantee that the amount of processing is enough, because the extant human systems use much more.

“Cheating” by using more sensors to simplify out complexities and to cover for the shortcomings of other sensors in the suite seems wise.
This was what I understood too.

As a power Kubernetes user providing Kubernetes based paas to internal customers, we are not looking for more GUI or, abstractions over helm.

There are already a lot of solutions out there in this area like helmsman/argocd/helmfile/cross plane helm-provider. And we like kubernetes resources + gitops based automations over any other fancy tools.

Most of the time problems around helm is it's string based templating and lack of type safety. That's why timoni looks a more promising solution in this space. It's lack of packages is the limiting factor.

Another interesting approach is kapp-controller and carvel tooling. Packaging helm charts, OCI images, etc as OCI artifacts to use as a combined source is really interesting. We were considering using kapp-kontroller however our current dependence helm, and some architectural concerns caused us to pass on kapp-controller for now.

As to the question of what could be selling points towards a new "Package Manager" would be,

* Timoni like packages that has templating with type safety.
* A large package pool, or
* Abstraction over helm packages that could add type safety, or better yet automatic or at least semi-automatic conversion of helm charts (One can dream ;))
* Full management through kubernetes API / CRDs
* Multicluster management, or fleet management.
I love Smalltalk, and have done a reasonable amount of messing around with Cuis (which is awesome and everyone should try it).

However this gives you two things that Smalltalk doesn't:

1. It's language agnostic (boring I know)

2. It promotes keeping your code and written texts in the same system where they're both first class. That way they can link between each other, transclude each other, be published together, be organized the same way, etc. I really think this is the most interesting thing about the project, it really feels important to me.

Caveat: right now my written documents can link to/transclude code, but it doesn't work the other way yet. This is because the linearizer will see a link from code to documents as another definition and try to jam it in the source file. This would be an interesting use case for typed links, but Obsidian doesn't a have them AFAIK. Kind of cool since I haven't seen many other use cases for typed links in the wild.

EDIT: It occurs to me that I've never used a Smalltalk notetaking or word processing program. Are there any that are integrated with the System Browser, so that they can link to (or even better embed) code? If anyone has more info please let me know!

It wasn't the worst that was found but it did show a war crime. It wasn't the only one by any stretch.

It showed a cover up of the number of civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan which had been caused by American Troops.

It showed significant horrific human rights violations against innocent and untried inmates at Guantanamo Bay. (As if just the existance of that wasn't enough.)

It showed illegal spying by the NSA on governments around the world.

The MI300A is an APU with 128gb on the package. They come in four socket systems, that's 512gb of cache coherent machine with 96 fast x64 cores and many GCN cores. Quite like a node from El Capitan.

I'm delighted with the hardware and not very impressed with the GPU offloading languages for programming it. The GCN and x64 cores are very much equal peers on the machine, the asymmetry baked into the languages grates on me.

(on non-apu systems, moving the data around in the background such that the latency is hidden is a nice idea and horrendously difficult to do for arbitrary workloads)

In theory the temperature underground should be the average of the surface temperature, so you could use that gradient to generate energy at night. Someone smarter than me would have to do the math on the energy density of a scheme like this, my gut says it's going to be fairly low and you will need a really big power plant to supply even a modest colony.
I’d say the same, maybe. But yesterday I had an Uber with a guy that had a degree in history and a love for SF lore, and told me about the tomb of Starr King, and then I went on a quest to find it with my friend. Just saying that there’s magic out there that’s not technological.
What's interesting and possibly surprising is that the core tech didn't evolve much past the 50-60s. Sony's Trinitron were the pinnacle, prior to modern inputs and HD. The original patent expired in the mid 90s and everyone else raced to implement their version of it.

So, if evolution had continued, _I think_ we'd have marginally lighter and more efficient displays with HDMI et al and the surrounding electronics and the "smart" features seen on modern screens.

I really like to learn by example so learning SwiftUI via ChatGPT has been brilliant.

I find tutorials often have some kind of weird additional thing in them I don’t care about. Like they’re making a list app but can’t help over complicating it with other stuff like adding in images or videos or parsing xml when I just want to learn something specific.

ChatGPT has been awesome for this. You can get simple examples and look through them. Ask questions about the code. Try it out. Change things. If it doesn’t work how you expect, paste it back in with a question.

It’s made learning a new language so much easier and probably 5x faster. I’ve started doing the same kind of thing with learning Spanish too.
Except §202c StGB https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/englisch_st... isn't actually vague. The simple reason it doesn't outlaw compilers is that compilers aren't built for the purpose of giving unauthorized access to other people's data, even though they can help achieve that aim.

It's similar to how weapons designed to be used against people are regulated differently from tools that merely happen to be usable as weapons.

In the concrete case of sharing tools to explore the attack surface of KakaoTalk, this is not a crime under §202c StGB as long as you do not intend them to be used to hack accounts you do not own.

Application packages are (traditionally) versioned immutable binaries that come with pre- and post-install steps. They are built with a specific platform in mind, with specific dependencies in mind, and with extremely limited configuration at install time. This is what makes packages work pretty well: they are designed for a very specific circumstance, and allow as little change as possible at install time.

Even with all that said, operating system packages require a vast amount of testing, development, and patching, constantly, even within those small parameters. Packages feel easy because potentially hundreds of hours of development and testing have gone into that package you're installing now, on that platform you're on now, with the components and versions you have now.

Kubernetes "packages" aren't really packages. They are a set of instructions of components to install and configure, which often involves multiple distinct sets of applications. This is different in a couple ways: 1) K8s "packages" are often extremely "loose" in their definition, leading to a lot of variability, and 2) they are built by all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways, making all kinds of assumptions about the state of the system they're being installed into.

There's actually multiple layers of dependencies and configuration that have to come together correctly for a Kubernetes "package" to work. The K8s API version has to be right, the way the K8s components are installed and running have to be right, the ACLs have to be right, there has to be no other installed component which could conflict, the version of the components and containers being installed by the package need to be pinned (and compatible with everything else in the cluster), and the user has to configure everything properly. Upgrades are similarly chaotic, as there's no sense of a stable release tree, or rolling releases. It's like installing random .deb or .rpm or .dmg files into your OS and hoping for the best.

Nothing exists that does all of this today. To make Kubernetes packaging as seamless as binary platform-specific packaging, you need an entire community of maintainers, and either a rolling-release style (ala Homebrew) or stable versioned release branches. You basically need a project like ArtifactHub or Homebrew to manage all of the packages in one way. That's a big undertaking, and in no way profitable.
Note that if you're just experimenting you can also use LLDB's breakpoint commands + "thread ret"/reg write to control logic.

But I've had some weird issues using "thread ret" (even when using it as the first instruction in a function when it shouldn't corrupt the stack), so patching memory is probably cleaner.
One thing the papers show is there is a natural rhythm of hormones and metabolism, which is adaptable to some extent, and you just need to listen to your body. But if you are addicted to sugar / excessive carbs, and don't exercise, then playing around with meal times is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Your body signals are malfunctioning.

Personally I have found a moderate size lunch and larger dinner, with a snack or two before or after dinner, is just perfect. Most people don't need three full meals a day. With moderate carbs I never go into a food coma. Worst is eating a large breakfast which makes you feel tired just when you are starting the day and trying to be productive.

If you have trained your body to burn fat (moderate or low carb diet) then you will be running on fat reserves efficiently through the day until the first meal.

Analogous to software-defined radios [1].

> Cryptocurrencies

For all we know Satoshi could've been an European. Same goes for Nicolas van Saberhagen. Vitalik is neither European nor from the US. I'm not an expert, but most of the US cryptocurrency startups I see are cheap pyramid schemes, and no real innovation anymore.

> AI

DeepMind was a British company. It had several successes, and was acquired by Google later, which raises a question what does it mean "innovation happens in the US". In this case innovation happens in UK, but it's owned by a American company.

There's certainly a lot more, but (similarly to you) I don't keep track of nationality of every company I interact with. And the question is pretty fuzzy in case of very international companies.
Electric vehicle routing is an option in Apple Maps and I'm assuming in Google Maps as well. A Rivian app could handle the rest. I'm pretty sure Apple would be extremely happy to figure out a way forward.

Important to note as well that you can technically support CarPlay and Android Auto just for the infotainment and keep the map function in-house running along with it.

Show HN: I made an all-in-one curated art reference and artwork sharing platform
Hey HN!

I been teaching myself how to draw for the past 5 years (heres some of my work https://x.com/jaks024 ).

Throughout this art journey, art references was essential. You gotta see what you are drawing to learn how to draw it. But the more references I used, the more annoying the process became. I ended up barely using references at all, which made the quality of my work worse.

In my art process, I would collect reference images from across the web (like Pinterest, Twitter, etc), but I would have no where to store it or manage it. Sure, I could store it in on my local disk, but then I'll need a app to manage and organize all the reference images. Then to use a reference board to organize the ideas for my artwork, I will need to use a different app for that. Then to share my references, I'll need to use another app for it. When I'm travelling and I want to draw, I'll need yet another app to access all my references. I hope you see where this is going.

Since I have a technical background, I been building refern (REFErences, Right, Now) on and off during my spare time for almost a year now to solve this problem. refern is an all-in-one art reference and artwork sharing platform that let you save, create, find, organize, moodboard, and share curated art references and artworks.

So now I can
- Scroll on the web and save reference images while I scroll with just a click.
- Organize all the images within the app through tags, collections, and folders.
- Search all my images, collections, or reference board at once.
- Save time labelling images since it all images are automatically labelled.
- Find, save, and use other collections of references created by other users.
- Reference board any of the reference images that I have in my library.
- And most importantly, it is just a single app that I need to use.
Since it's all online, I can access all my stuff from any device, and also share my stuff with friends with just a link.

Ever since refern got to a working state (about 6 months ago), I been using it whenever I'm drawing. And recently, I've added a new streak and timeline feature to keep myself drawing consistently by uploading my work and maintaining a streak everyday.
Using refern has improved my artwork a lot (could also be just extra practice), but it has saved so much time and hassle when dealing with references.

Right now, I've finally got refern to a state that I'm pretty happy with. Of course there is still a lot of work to do, but I'm always open for feedback!
Feel free to give it a try, or tell someone you know who might benefit from this!

Llama helped me become more comfortable with Lagrangian mechanics. I had to keep correcting its math errors along the way, but it was nonetheless very good at answering my questions -- like having a patient and empathetic but very absent-minded professor at my fingertips. And because I was always on my toes and double-checking its work for mistakes, I had to learn actively with my brain switched on, instead of just reading passively.

So ironically, its flaws made it a pretty good teacher in this case.

I do have to be especially careful not to ask it leading questions, because it's so biased towards positive affirmation that it would rather lie to say I'm right than to explain why I'm mistaken.
Ask HN: Why did GeoCities have that crazy design aesthetic?

That information has been leaked and has the US been any less safe because of it. I would argue there is nothing to suggest it. Governments aren't above the law and the journalists that were killed and the spying was rightfully publicised. As was the Guantanamo Bay leaks. The public shouldn't know everything but if the public find out because the government act illegally and need to be held to law like anyone else, it is an unlucky consequence of the governments actions.

Rant on: I use it in-browser on Linux also: Microsoft's security system is horrendous. I have to log into Teams-based client meetings using incognito browser windows because Teams keeps getting into mystery login loops with regular windows. It was working for a while, but I needed to log into Intel for Altera FPGA information. Well Intel uses Microsoft Azure for identity management (I had to log into Microsoft to log into Intel). After I did this, I couldn't attend client meetings anymore. I'm pretty sure the root of the issue is that I have multiple Microsoft identities, and their security model does not handle this case well, or at least it's incomprehensible to me and I don't want to waste any more time on it. Now Microsoft also knows me via github which is screwing it up further. It tries to tie your identity to your phone number, but it will not allow multiple account on a single number. It's a nightmare. Oh yeah, Microsoft also insists on having me install a phone app for identity management, but it doesn't solve any issues (I can't log in) other than wasting my time. This is the only thing I have to use Microsoft for, and the experience sucks. F* Microsoft.

Say what you will about Google, at least I never had these issues.

There's a pretty big difference in breaking the law to get hot goss vs breaking the law to expose corruption at the highest levels of government.

There's limits of course, but whistleblowers should be afforded a lot of leeway, particularly because quite often doing things the "right way" is engineered to accomplish nothing.
Yes, Gumroad supports EUR as a currency (partially).
