We're driving a Tesla Model 3 refresh 2024, and it has the speed nag at every start up. It also has a lot of wrong speeds for portions of roads around our place.

Sometimes it's temporary speed limits that were set during road construction and then never went away, sometimes it doesn't understand that you left a type of road and went onto another one with a different default speed limit, it's pretty infuriating.

And that's a car that has cameras all around, onboard image analysis software and permanent internet connection. I can't imagine how that'd even work in cars with less capabilities.
> Is the category of "deaths from speeding" large enough to justify any action whatsoever?

Cars kill 40k+ people in the US each year, and speed (really momentum) is a large factor in the lethality of crashes.

> Why does the Autobahn still not have speed limits on large parts of the road and why does this not cause massive problems?

It's designed for these speeds. Most speeding issues do not occur on highways, but on local roads.
Stopping in traffic is almost never the safest option

If you are approaching and have room but someone is closing the gap, it may indeed be safer to speed up so you can take the spot before it closes and you are forced to stop

Granted, drivers should not be taking away the room you need to merge, but if everyone on the road were good drivers then we might not be seeking such nannying tech built into our cars to force them to drive better
Thanks for the response; I see your point that housework can have pretty significant cognitive requirements. I'm not sure I understood sufficiently the argument for why LLMs are well-placed to attack that sort of categorisation, but it's something for me to mull over.
GPS plus mapping/routing software with some idea of how roads connect would get you a long way though. Even Strava and similar apps do this for trails which are close but not connected.
This amounts to "Don't worry, mommy and daddy will take care of it." It is not a serious argument.

Indeed. If I were interviewing a candidate like OP who starts ragging on TypeScript, I'd move them immediately into the "do not hire" pile. What you do in your own time programming-wise is vastly different to what you need to do working in an enterprise with many others.
Heck, Apple did that once (CVE-2012-0652).
Yeah. Even more recent efforts are the efforts to bring powerful features to terminals. Kitty in particular came up with many of them and had to deal with ncurses refusing to support it.
> And there are plenty of teachers who are incentivized to use easy, fun, low-accountability, hard-to-measure practice techniques that keep students, parents, and administrators off their back.

I've been visiting schools in London and I've noticed that teachers/headmasters "sell" their schools with claims that their schools are "inclusive" or use "play based learning" or "great activities" etc. Everything and anything, but being serious about learning. I kind fo get the impression that the approaching to schooling is to get kids off parent's backs. Like "we'll take them, they'll have fun, don't worry about it". Extremely frustrating.

If anyone has here experience with schools in London, shoot me an email and lets talk? (email in profile)
I don't find "it sounds like you're saying" on a rather neutral technical topic to be very accusatory, personally.
What does my smart tv that has never been connected to wifi do?
Only if it doesn't have the indicator numbers. I think most people would notice if the 6 was at the top and the 12 was at the bottom.
My point was that the freedom of movement is not only for trivialities such as riding a bike, but the same ease extends far beyond that, including being able to permanently move across Europe for work, study or leisure - which I did mention - without any obstacles, to the point where national borders do not have any meaningful impact on everyday lives of Europeans. Just pack your things and go and do whatever you want. The sad story about post-USSR borders keeping Russians apart is as dumb as it gets since Europe has already achieved much more through peaceful means than you ever did through violence.

You are choosing to go through another Afghan war every month, destroy the national economy, flush the last remnants of your reputation down the drain, and bring indescribable suffering to millions of people for something that you could get for free if you had smart people running the country.

There is no other way to describe it than a completely retarded behavior. The worst thing is that you cannot even imagine any alternatives to it. This is truly eye-opening for me. You come across like those dumbasses brainwashed by Nazism who committed suicide during the final days of the WWII because they couldn't imagine a future for Germany without the Third Reich.
I think you have to read more carefully next time:

"To figure out how the painted ladies ended up in French Guiana, researchers approached the question from many angles. They looked at weather data for the weeks leading up to the butterflies’ arrival and saw that wind conditions could have supported a voyage from Africa to South America.

They also sequenced the butterflies’ genomes and learned that they were relatives of insects from Africa and Europe, which helped them rule out the possibility that the migrants had flown from North America. In addition, they analyzed isotopes in the butterflies’ wings, which can point to their area of origin—this suggested they were born in western Europe and western Africa.

Providing yet another line of evidence, the team sequenced the DNA of pollen grains stuck to the butterflies’ bodies. This allowed them to identify the plants the creatures had recently visited—Guiera senegalensis and Ziziphus spina-christi, two shrub species that only flower at the end of West Africa’s rainy season."
Clickbait title.

I agree with that, but the point I'm trying to make is that audio i/o handling is pretty complicated and application specific. The idea I'm challenging is that "any app that wants microphone input wants this" is dubious. I'd say it's only a small number of audio applications that care about mic input want background noise reduced - and it makes sense for this to be configured per-input stream.

Really what would be nice is if every audio i/o backend supported multiplex i/o streams and you could configure whether or not to cancel audio based on that set of streams but not all output (because multi output-device audio gets tricky).
the Scoped Propagator model is based on two key insights:
1. by representing computation as mappings between nodes along edges, you do not need to know at design-time what node types exist.
2. by scoping the propagation to events, you can augment nodes with interactive behaviour suitable for the environment in which SPs have been embedded.

It's pretty specific to UI similar to the examples, but in terms of these big infinite canvas UIs, you have a whole bunch of objects you need to make dependant on each other, but who ALSO hold their current state statically. Subtly different from a spreadsheet, where Excel for example treats functions (=$A$2) differently from a single value (4). Functions are always derived, where as single values don't rely on anything.

Like a sticky note on a canvas, should always be available to type into. But maybe we also want something else to change it's value when it changes. (key insights #2, this is for infinite canvases)

Rather than building some big god-object that stores all "root" state for the static value of things, and transforming that thru a big tree of functions you need to keep maintained, you could reverse it:

Each node only knows it's own state, but it's peers give it instructions about how to update itself to meet their business rules, for just that pairing.

The result is the same, it's a big web of functions, but now you don't have to make the distinction between "derived" state or "base" state. It's always static state, and things are just updated adhoc by these events that describe the changes without explaining "why" the "to" node has to apply them. (key insights #1, you do not need to know at design-time what node types exist.)
They may be thinking about CS 25.109 in EASA? It specifies how the accelerate stop distance is calculated. That calculation assumes: "the pilot takes the first action to reject the take-off at the V1" so there is no 2 seconds to decide later. However it does add a distance equal to 2 seconds at V1 speed to the total.

That's a safety margin in the calculation, because you still need to move the thrustlevers and in some cases manually hit the brakes. Can't do that in a millisecond.
Good regulation would only mandate a driver warning. If you exceed the highest speed of any highway in the area, you get some audible/visual warning. In the case of you speeding but not realizing it you just ease up on the accelerator. In the case of needing to pass you just deal with an annoying beep for a few seconds.

Reducing control authority in a vehicle is very dangerous. It's difficult to make it obvious control authority is reduced. It also falls down in every corner case where the prohibited action is in fact necessary.
It will lead to the destruction of the administrative state, which was the intended result, and which people have apparently forgotten helps keep a lot of people alive and cancer-free. I mean, how many rivers need to catch on fire again before we learn this lesson a second time?
If you’re basing your preference on hard earned experience, then it could be a valuable thing to talk about. There are plenty of valid and nuanced tradeoffs you can talk about, and even use as demonstrable evidence of your hard-earned experience.

But you’ve got to tread the line carefully, treating it more as an academic discussion than a sermon. If you can’t strike that balance, then don’t bring it up (and if you’re so dogmatic about it anyway, then don’t work there).

It’s perhaps revealing that you consider the interviewers to be dogmatic. Are you sure that you aren’t the one coming off as dogmatic?
Jsdoc is a way of adding type annotations to JavaScript code, which can then be used by another tool to do type checking.

This is how type checking works in python and ruby, rather than there being a compilation step like typescript.

But on the highway they are watching over you so you don't break any laws. They have police officers who patrol the highways and traffic cameras. If this had any implications on people's basic human rights, I might agree but driving is a privilege, not a right.

Another model I've seen for copyright is that you declare a "buyout price" for the copyright, the price at which you will release the work into the public domain. You pay 1% of that price every year as a renewal fee, with a 10 year limit.

Don't know if it would work but it's interesting.

Something about airplanes really brings out the illogical side of otherwise very smart folks.

You've heard about a couple Boeing incidents over the past few months - during which millions and millions of miles where traveled in perfectly safe Boeing aircraft of all ages and models, all over the world.

It's been said over and over, but should be said again - you're vastly more likely to die on your way to the airport than once aboard an aircarft... any aircraft.

Knee-jerk reactions and declarations like this are as foolish as naïve.

In most EU countries(and UK) you have different speed limits based on the class of the vehicle.

So for example in the UK on a single lane road a regular car can go 60mph, a car towing a trailer can only go 50mph, but a heavy goods vehicle(over 7.5 tonnes) can only go 40mph.

So on most roads that aren't dual carriageways you constantly encounter a situation where everyone is driving at their top legal speed limit but there is still a need to overtake vehicles.
Oh memories!

There was a Windows built-in input method (智能ABC) that will show a small floating bar wherever there's an input. So you can trigger that bar, right click and select "Help" to open the default CHM viewer, then you can open any URLs from there.

Or alternatively the input method has a secret sequence that will crash any apps: v UP DEL ENTER and boom.

Poor pets.
Show HN: I will call your phone to hold you accountable
When we were kids, adults were always setting boundaries and keeping us on task. We thought this was annoying and relished the day when we'd grow up and get to do whatever we want. And here we are with that freedom only to find it's not that simple.

We try to stay off our phones but we keep picking it up in the bedroom costing us our sleep and making us late. We need to break through task paralysis but we end up waiting until the last minute instead.

Now we realize how privileged we were to have someone on the outside keeping us in check.

We try to solve the problem by beating ourselves up, setting up reminders, calendar events, notifications, and apps but our brains know we can just swipe away and ignore to give in to our urge to mindlessly scroll and waste time.

Research shows having an actual living human being keeping us accountable makes all the difference.

It's easy to let ourselves down, but harder to do that to someone else.

With this stupidly simple service, you and I discuss what you want to be held accountable for. For about 33¢ per day, I will personally call you on your phone once daily on as many days as you want at the time of your choosing. Each call is a minute, give or take, just enough time for me to ask if you did what you were supposed to do or are going to. If need be, I'll instruct you to text me back as a follow up. Whatever it takes to keep you accountable.
>i think this depends on what the alternative career/job would be compared to grad school.

This, the economy was shit when I graduated, I wasn't interested in a phd, but strongly considered getting a masters, and would have likely been financially better off had I stayed in school those extra two years instead of graduating into a horrible job market and losing that fresh graduate advantage when applying for jobs once it finally got moving again. In retrospect, I would have much rather lived a college lifestyle and did research/ta type stuff instead of doing the tech support type jobs I ended up with to make ends meet.
I can define "reasoning". Given number of observations and inference rules, infer new calculated observations.

> What if a C compiler's semantic analysis pass is a limited form of reasoning?

I guess you can say that C compiler can reason in specific narrow domain, because it is also a program and someone programmed it to reason in that domain.

I think C compiler was wrong analogy, because it is also a program. More correct could refer on some machine which executes ASM/C/bytecode etc. That machine(e.g. CPU or VM) is turing complete, but one need to write program to do reasoning. C compiler doing some semantic reasoning over say datatypes is example of such program.
It doesn't have bytecode. Its intermediate language is set of C constants and C function calls. No bytecode, no AST, nothing. It could help you emit "add these two registers" instructions on any supported architecture with same API call and it is almost it.

This law makes an intelligent speed limiter mandatory to be present in a car, but it does not currently require it to be activated. The software for road sign recognition is currently of poor quality, making a mandatory system impractical.

>Whether IP “theft” deprives owner of anything is questionable, even in the legal sense.

I think this is certainly settled in the legal sense. If an employee publishes source code to a product, or someone leaks a new movie, the courts dont have to debate if the owner has a legitimate grievance.

People can debate hypothetical alternatives to IP and their implications, but the status quo is clear. If you are using "questionable" not to mean uncertain, but in the literal sense, then sure (anything is questionable).
We're still terrible at treating cancer though. And the treatments very likely cause other health issues that can actually reduce life expectancy.
I mean, we didn't really allow them to. Presidents who lost the popular vote appointed them, after other appointees were politically blocked under false pretenses in the Senate ("can't do it in an election year, unless you're a very specific president"). In aggregate, Americans poll much further left than this activist, rightwing court, but that doesn't matter when the electoral minority keeps on winning.

Don't worry, though. The Court has made their decision, now let them enforce it.

There are no missiles capable of loitering.

Blatantly incorrect, and I'm not sure what you wrote that in response to? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loitering_munition

The reference to Midway is odd because without aircraft
carriers the U.S. would have lost the battle.

Aircraft carriers were obviously the dominant force in the Pacific, almost a century ago. No argument there. There was really nothing to counter them, except fighters launched from other aircraft carriers.

Whether we're talking about 1942 or 2024, aircraft carriers can't perform evasive maneuvers and launch/land fighters simultaneously. You pretty much can't land a non-VTOL plane on a carrier doing anything but traveling in a straight line into the wind.

During the Battle of Midway, the USN fortuitiously exploited this weakness more effectively than the IJN. It was a big factor in the US victory.

[Carriers] aren’t obsolete

As has been stated by myself and others multiple times: they're not entirely obsolete and still serve an important purpose. The vast majority of potential adversaries are not peers or near-peer capable of advanced missile attacks.

But if you don't think a carrier group is extremely vulnerable to a superpower with advanced missile technology, you might literally be thinking in 1942 terms.

I don’t believe you are well versed in modern naval
operations. I’m not either

One of these statements is correct.
My car has this stuff in it too (BYD Dolphin) and it's a mixed bag. I find the "watch out, car/object moving into your path" stuff really useful – here in Australia, driving in the bush, it's picked up roos I'd likely have missed otherwise.

It whinges if it thinks I'm speeding, but it's often totally wrong on the speed limit: reading the wrong signs, holding a lower limit when I've turned onto a road with a higher limit. I find the alerts extremely distracting, and unfortunately they use the same sound as alerts I might want to know about. It also makes that same sound every time it reads a new sign. And then it feels the need to claim I'm speeding all over again, even if the limit hasn't changed.

I turn it off most times I get in the car, although there's no shortcut for it, so it's just a constant annoyance: the car won't remember the setting.
It's very different to watch 1% of drivers, 1% of the time, and to watch 100% of drivers, 100% of the time.

There's no room for change if law enforcement is absolute. Imagine if gay people could never sex, because a microchip zapped their brain whenever they got a sexual thought about a member of the same sex. Homosexuality would still be illegal.
That's very cool.
