It literally explains it in the article.

> The car’s owner, Renee Sanchez, was taking her granddaughter to the zoo, but after loading the child in the Model Y, she closed the door and wasn’t able to open it again. “My phone key wouldn’t open it,” Sanchez said in an interview with Arizona’s Family. “My car key wouldn’t open it.” She called emergency services, and firefighters were dispatched to help.
Put kid in back seat. Close door. Open front door. Get in.

From the article:

> the issue raises concerns about why there isn’t an easy way to open the car from the outside when its 12-volt battery — the one that powers things like its door locks and windows — loses power.

Its a design problem. Not sure whether its unique to Teslas, but it would seem to affect this particular model.
Most people don’t know that there are species that can, e.g. drop their metabolic rate down to .01% of baseline to survive without water or food for 30 yrs. Or survive in high radiation environments, or high pressure and temperature environments. More people should know that there is genetic precedent for crazy phenotypes that could theoretically extend to other species in the future.

It sounds like you have anecdotal evidence from a bad side of academia. I also have many friends in academia across NA and Asia and have an impression closer to parent's.
This might be true now, but it wasn't when all these massive highways, roads and stroads were built. US cities weren't destroyed because the people that lived there voted on it. For the most part you had a bureaucratic elite come in over the top and simply create laws and change the regulation.
People who pay you money don't care about you maximizing your potential. So why should employment allow you to do that?

I agree, ESR certainly does spout a lot of slanderous, racist, misogynistic, and homophobic drivel. That and attacking RMS is basically his whole schtick.

Truth is a complete defense to a claim of slander, and ESR's own words provide that proof and defense for everyone who rightly calls him racist, misogynistic, and homophobic. Words so vile and lurid that people have actually begged Thomas Ptacek to stop posting them to twitter, and donated over $30,000 to charity just to not hear ESR's own words quoted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_S._Raymond#Political_beli...

>Raymond has claimed that "Gays experimented with unfettered promiscuity in the 1970s and got AIDS as a consequence", and that "Police who react to a random black male behaving suspiciously who might be in the critical age range as though he is an near-imminent lethal threat, are being rational, not racist."[30][31] A progressive campaign, "The Great Slate", was successful in raising funds for candidates in part by asking for contributions from tech workers in return for not posting similar quotes by Raymond. Matasano Security employee and Great Slate fundraiser Thomas Ptacek said, "I've been torturing Twitter with lurid Eric S. Raymond quotes for years. Every time I do, 20 people beg me to stop." It is estimated that, as of March 2018, over $30,000 has been raised in this way.[32]
Interesting feature! Wish I had that option on my devices, combined also with something similar for sounds.

> It's still possible with a remote ssh connection, and gdb scripting, but it's inconvenient.

In this situation, don't gdb breakpoint command lists give you exactly what you need (printing stack traces at certain points) with minimal effort? Nothing wrong with using different tools, but it's not clear if that option was considered.

You sir just failed basic statistics
Some time ago, I read all of the published data on the safety of traffic circles, as I had often seen them recommended as a safer alternative to traffic lights.

I was not very impressed. The confounding factors for the traffic light to circle projects were always far too large, and it always had to be coupled with the fact that it was usually poorest intersections that get rebuilt. I no longer have a high opinion of traffic safety research as a field.

Regarding this article's claims in particular, traffic fatalities went up a certain amount after 2020, and I doubt that road design changes were a primary driver. (Policing trends are one possible candidate.)

Regardless, in the last six months or so, my Tesla's autodrive went from "expensive joke" to "safer driver than me". IMO, leveraging existing technology could cut traffic deaths to a small fraction of what they are now over 3-5 years, were we to pursue aggressive conversion of the existing vehicle fleet.

>By and large doctors operate independent businesses, so you are tipping them.

Again, this is a bizarre take. The fact the person is the proprietor of the business doesn't mean you're "tipping" them by mere virtue of patronizing their business. Taxi drivers also operate as independent businesses, but it's a stretch to call the mere fact of paying your bill (ie. without adding anything extra) "tipping".
Unfortunately, youngsters can lock themselves in any car. It's not something unique to electric cars or Tesla.

I welcome any and all experiments in the low-level programming space, and writing a good one with Lisp syntax is an obvious approach. Carp (mentioned in the article) was a good start, but seems to have stalled out, and while it's easy to see the advantages of bootstrapping from an ML language, I view it as essential to the philosophy that the compiler itself be in a broadly-compatible Lisp syntax, compatible, that is, to the resulting language or sub-language.

But I also think it will exacerbate an existing problem with C, namely, macros. Low-level programming is all about knowing exactly what's going on, and since C has a preprocessor, that's more difficult than it otherwise would be. Just because something looks like a function call, doesn't mean it actually is one.

Schemes have a much better macro system, and that will simultaneously make the core issue both better, and worse. But it's very much worthwhile to try it, imho, and see if good tooling can ameliorate the downsides, while still enjoying the power, and freedom from tedium, which macros bring to the table.
All the most important issues are local and state and have nothing to do with US federal government.
What you mention implies that the US government should mandate HUDs in all vehicles, so that drivers are not incentivized to take their eyes off the road to check speed or directions.

I 10000% support this and I think a good 5% of what makes Elon a bad person was him going on twitter and saying that HUDs are stupid and that teslas will never get one.
Reread the story. The child wasn’t left in the car for an extended period (by a grandparent, not parent). The child had just been buckled into a car seat and the driver closed the door, walked around to the drivers side, and couldn’t get in.

Absolutely no indication of improper adult behavior.

I've often wondered why there isn't some small turbogenerator, or internal combustion based module for dropping into existing drone platforms to replace large lithium ion-packs, especially for long duration flights.

Heck, even a fuel cell would be far better energy/weight ratio, wouldn't it? And since they would be single or few use, you don't have to worry about poisoning the electrodes anywhere near as much.

Using mechanical locks and keys would do it. Even just on one door.

Regular cars have the same problem if you accidentally lock your keys in the car with the kid though.
Well now I feel bad for laughing and having a good time.
I have come to believe there are different type of intelligences, we all have a few, just different.

I do believe a subset of humans can rotate a mental image in their head. I know an accomplished UI / UX artist who would do just this. He'd create an image in his head, observe and critique it from angles and then create in "reality"

I can listen to a song 100 times, and not tell you more than 5 words in a song, nor the beat. My early teen son (a sensor) can sing the entire song after a few listens.

I used to think the only intelligence sign was being highly logical or able to solve complex problems. Because that is what I know. However, I've come to learn there are large swath of intelligences I don't have, and have not personally valued in the past, but others have them and can do great things with them.

This awareness has even allowed me to believe in a wider growth of intelligences at the spectrums, even to a type of supernatural gifts.

Or they consider it a marketing channel for their memberships. Costco stores aren't exactly in convenient locations if you aren't already a member.

Iirc, LiveBarn offers this as a service if your local rink has it set up. Annoyingly, my local rink uses 30 minute video slots so it only ever captures half a game.
But most other cars have physical locks that can be unlocked from the outside and a handle that doesn't require a still-charged 12-volt battery. You may need to call a locksmith (for instance, the keys are also inside the car), but you probably don't have to bust open the windows unless it's really urgent and you need to get them out now (instead of 20-30 minutes from now).
Ha! Plucky little tumors.

It's so wild to me that people can't see pictures or hear music in their mind. I've always assumed everyone could do it but it just goes to show how little we know about the human brain.

I was reading the other day on HN that some people don't have an internal monologue and think very differently than I do (like thoughts just "appear" somehow?)

Now I'm wondering if there are any mind capabilities people possess that I don't? Humans are truly fascinating.
I haven't seen outdoor food courts in Ontario Canada. But you don't need a membership to go to the pharmacy, and I'm sure they'd let you in for free for the food court. In California, in addition to the pharmacy, there was no membership required for buying alcohol.
This argument has little chance. To avoid the quid-pro-quo problem, [edit: super]PACs already avoid coordinating with politicians' campaigns. They create and distribute their own copy, that expresses their donors' own political views, which is protected speech.

If politicians are corrupted by people publically saying nice things about them, that doesn't seem a good enough reason to infringe on speech rights. Prosecute the corruption directly.

Without beautiful images, the appeal to amateurs is very weak. How complicated would be to use one of these for scanning so we can obtain an image of the sky?
The author showed jittered strip plots where you plot each point correctly on the y axis and randomly offset the x axis.

These are ok but it’s hard to differentiate the density of points when they’re randomly offset. Try a swarm plot (seaborn) / bee swarm plot (R).

It’s the same concept but the points are strategically placed across the x axis to show the width of the distribution at each point. It generally looks much cleaner.
(Sadly) this is nothing new. Years ago I wrangled a (modified) bug in the font rendering of Firefox [1, 2016] into an exploit (for a research paper). Short version: the Graphite2 font rendering engine in FF had/has? a stack machine that can be used to execute simple programs during font rendering. It sounded insane to me back then, but I dug into it a bit. Turns out while rendering Roman based scripts is relatively straightforward [2], there are scripts that need heavy use of ligatures etc. to reproduce correctly [3]. Using a basic scripting (heh) engine for that does make some sense.

Whether this is good or bad, I have no opinion on. It is "just" another layer of complexity and attack surface at this point. We have programmable shaders, rowhammer, speculative execution bugs, data timing side channels, kernel level BPF scripting, prompt injection and much more. Throwing WASM based font rendering into the mix is just balancing more on top of the pile. After some years in the IT security area, I think there are so many easier ways to compromise systems than these arcane approaches. Grab the data you need from a public AWS bucket or social engineer your access, far easier and cheaper.

For what it's worth, I think embedded WASM is a better idea than rolling your own eco systems for scripting capabilities.

“Documentaries” on YouTube and not the best. Most of the time the images and background isn’t even the specific topic of discussion. For example, showing the wrong plane or car when the video is specifically about a certain fighter jet or war.

It made me realize the larger studios and productions have access to lots of accurate “fluff” like historical reels. They even have budgets to take real crews to locations. Makes me rethink the amount of time I spend on YouTube.
I had the 3c and the Revo. The Revo was initially a revelation. I paired it with an infrared modem connected to a Nokia that enabled me to surf the internet and get driving directions on the move 7 years before the iPhone. Alas working with the iMac was a pain and the Revo would randomly lose memory due to a power system design flaw. At that stage I ditched Revo and Psion for a HP WinCE device. More of a downgrade. I purchased the Gemini PDA when it came out. It was marvellous but expensive and fragile. I now have a DIamond Mako and a 5mx that I play with occasionally. In hindsight the best Psion was the 3c. It was affordable, robust and just worked. It got stolen on a bus in Chile in '97. Otherwise I bet I would still be using it.
Next thing you know they're going to try to tell us that anonymous political funding by foreign adversaries and non-state actors isn't a good idea.
Facial recognition would be better. Don’t forget that canonically in Mighty Ducks D2 Goldberg and Russ switched jerseys so that Russ could get his infamous “Knuckle Puck” shot off undisputed because everyone thought the puck was passed to Goldberg until the mask came off. So the ML training on jerseys would have missed this critical moment and potentially assigned the score to Goldberg, when really it was Russ (wearing Goldberg’s jersey) who should have gotten the credit.

One might argue that this sort of thing rarely happens so it’s not worth doing more complex facial recognition vis a vis Jersey numbering. But I say that while it may be rare, when it does happen it’s a major event, so no complexity should be spared to ensure we capture it accurately.
You're absolutely right.

The majority of foods Budongo chimpanzees eat have anti-bacterial properties:

1. B. papyrifera [1]

2. Ficus sur [2]

3. Ficus mucuso [3]

4. Ficus exasperata [4]

The medicinal aspect of this article is not that interesting but the fact that the chimpanzees seek out these alternative sources of food when injured or sick is interesting. I would like to see further research into how they learn to seek out these plants and the results of consuming them.

I have a few qualms with this AI-assisted hat delivery service[1]:

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite
trivially by getting a kaggle account, learning by doing computer vision
projects, and then using opencv to build the vision parts of the system. From
Windows or Mac, you could build using a cloud system such as Amazon Bedrock.

2. It doesn't actually replace having a hat for the period from your own front
door to OP's apartment. Most people I know own hats themselves or borrow from
friends to be able to attend specific events, but they still carry a hat in
case there are weather problems. This does not solve the availability issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is
premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it
reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

[1] Actually I don't. It's really awesome.

For moving people? It's laughably easy: the one with bike lanes, sidewalks, public transport.

Cars are the least efficient form of transportation if you REALLY care about throughput.
Cars systematically break laws so often that it is simply not commented on. And the reality is the waste majority of bicyclist do not do borderline suicidal rides. Research shows overwhelmingly that most people on get on bikes if there are safe ways to bike.

The evidence is obviously anecdotal because and comment on it because its exceptional, while people not properly stopping at stop signs or going to fast is literally no even worth commenting about.

> I honestly do not know what it is about bikes, but not completely unlike BMWs and Teslas, they seem to attract oddly aggressive drivers.

You seem to indicate that you understand what a systematic issue is but then completely throw it out with this comment.

The reason only 'aggressive drivers' ride bikes (if this is even remotely true, more likely its just those you notice) is because most normal people rationally decide that these places are to dangerous to ride the bike in.

> .. which is supposed to be deterrent. But, apparently, it is not.

Given how few people bike in the US, it clearly is.

I am exactly the opposite, I can very easy imagine an object in my mind and apply a texture, color skew it, rotate it. I can easily visualize a chessboard with pieces that I can change colors and even move. I can visualize moments from past, faces, places, I can even draw them to some degree however without much talent. But for the life of me I can't remember my favorite music unless I start hearing it and then it comes to me, just to fade away seconds after I finish listening to it I can remember lyrics but without the music. I think that I kind of remember (chorus) national anthem and some children songs 1-2 of them, but I can sing along once the music starts. I have a very good memory otherwise, never had to use a todo list for my daily routine.
