> This assumes that cars are the only way to get around.

Which is true in many cases, and would take decades of construction to do anything about, e.g. because people would have to move out of the suburbs or else at least one end of the trip will require a car, which would require massive long-term new housing construction in urban areas and has no short-term solution.

> A bus that starts and stops as it goes through traffic calming with 100 people on it will make an absolute joke of the efficiency of even the most fuel efficient of cars.

A city bus will get around 5MPG. The most efficient cars get more than 50MPG, so a city bus isn't even as fuel efficient as the cars until it's carrying more than 10 passengers. In theory they can carry 30-40 passengers, but generally in practice they don't, and in theory that 50+MPG car can carry five or more passengers too.

> In areas where transit is given its own lane, or is a train, the time efficiency is much better as well.

"In areas where the time efficiency of car traffic is purposely degraded, car traffic has lower time efficiency" is kind of tautological, but that's a silly argument for doing it, especially when the proposed alternative isn't available, e.g. because one of the endpoints is in the suburbs and the bus doesn't go there.

> Plus if you give buses their own lanes you can remove traffic calming measures for them and give them signal priority, thus making them even more efficient from a resource, and time perspective.

It's kind of odd that the same people who talk about wasted space from parking want to allocate entire bus lanes worth of space for a vehicle that only uses them 0.2% of the time. Also, what are you proposing here? 50+MPH buses traveling next to bike lanes and pedestrians? It would have to be even higher than that, because the bus is constantly starting and stopping to pick up passengers (and is then stationary for several seconds), so to achieve an average speed of e.g. 30MPH, its cruising speed would have to be above 60MPH, which is not only dangerous if adjacent to pedestrians, it's extremely inefficient as you're repeatedly accelerating a huge bus to highway speeds and then back again.

When the alternative is a car traveling a constant 60MPH on a highway, the bus compares unfavorably in terms of both time and fuel efficiency.
I think today one can do heck more than anyone has ever had been able to do; but this is very personal.

I could spend literally billion years on ThinkPad programming. ALSO this makes me feel extremely sad, for collective species of humanity, will miss allowing this opportunity. That is, instead of collective focus on enabling ourselves, least our successors (!), to live forever, we are dying because of lack of adaptiveness to the technology.

I will tell that I am certain 8 hours a day for 20 years will sort of leave you permanently disabled to point where even acid may not save you.

ALSO, beware that the ones wanting that you get buying their products want you exactly in your comments mindset.
Idk. Technological enforcement seems like it really should be the last resort here. Why should we not focus on stopping the construction of stroads and building safer streets and roads first and foremost before we reach for a tech solution that will undoubtedly come with privacy and abuse related tradeoffs while also likely being less effective.
I think part of the complication is that perhaps different people have different definitions for "better". For example, I posted about an organization that is working to eradicate a hideous disease that harms poor people in developing parts of the world and it was downvoted. (It’s ok, I take no offense) Perhaps it is easier to agree that any company that helps make you wealthier is helping to make the world "better"?
This is exactly right. I have found all kinds of interesting work via HN, arxiv, github, youtube, random blog posts, etc.
Sorry, my timeline was messed up. It was around 2004/5.

Why are the lifts networked or on a network which can route to the internet?

This is a car lift. It really doesn't need a computer to begin with. I've never seen one with a computer. WTF?
Here's a list of the Top 20 Global Polluters:

I don't know how much they're making the world better (cranks up the AC).

And here's an article about (slurps coca-cola) the biggest plastic polluters, who in 2021 were named as such four years running.

https://www.breakfreefromplastic.org/2021/10/25/the-coca-col...

I guess they're “distributing” something, but I don't think it's really that valuable. I guess it means some folks can pay their rent, so that makes it morally and ethically okay!
/s, right? I haven’t actually seen any models make this disappear really yet
Sadly the last time I looked into this (though, I suppose I looked at roman pottery) I came to the conclusion that a) this is unlikely to have accidentally occurred and b) their machining would have been unlikely to be up to reliably (re)producing instruments that were able to do this intentionally. Recording voice takes responsiveness to forces a tiny fraction of a percent of, say, a foot pedal controlling part of a lathe.

I'm not saying it's impossible but such a feat intentionally constructed surely would itself be worth recording.

EDIT: clarified tense
The problem with cybersecurity is that it's impossible to prove a negative. So it's easy to sell products which produce tangible downsides in return for hypothetical upsides.
It might. In the short term anyway. And that's ok because consumers are not the Apple customer being egregiously harmed. It's the developers, who are also Apple customers, who are being restricted from a market. Apple makes a competitive app, BAM, you're out of there. Even if you have enough clout to remain, you're now competitively disadvantaged because Apple are taking some of your income, as well as profiting off their own service.

I have a full-stack dev job.

My main concerns are that it's online and don't know how this will influence perception.

3) I love learning

4) Looks good on resume

5) May lead to more interesting and specialised jobs in the future

It's a car lift. Not only would it be irresponsible to rely on a computer to tell you when you should maintain it, as some inspections can only be done visually, it seems totally pointless as most inspections need to be done manually.

Get a reminder on your calendar to do a thorough inspection once a day/week (whatever is appropriate) and train your employees what to look for every time it's used. At the end of the day, a car lift on locks is not going to fail unless there's a weakness in the metal structure, no computer is going to tell you about this unless there's a really expensive sensor network and I highly doubt any of the car lifts in question have such a sensor network.

Moreover, even if they did have such a sensor network, why are these machines able to call out to the internet?
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted, it is a valid and important point. Researchers discover empirical structure. They don’t create it. It isn’t art.

The article seems to want to bring rights holders together in a way that isn’t valid.

A scientific paper is normative. Its construction is closer to a pull request than artwork.
The correct solution is to have IT force push updates only when they deem fit (after they have tested internally on some ghost machines).
500 comments now. I was 29 when I made my first webpage. Her's is better.
People with long commutes spend most of that time on highways, which are not affected by traffic calming measures. A surface street going from 35mph to 25mph is not going to add an hour of driving time unless you are driving 100 miles a day on non-highway surface streets, which literally nobody does. You are exaggerating the impact of traffic calming measures.

Cars are getting less safe for pedestrians and cyclists, not more safe. Why should pedestrians bear the human cost of higher car speeds when drivers are the ones benefitting from it? Easy to pretend the benefits of speeding outweigh the costs when the benefits accrue to you and the costs accrue to other people.
Yes, I would echo this. Stated more baldly, the term "better" and the term "objective" are antithetical to each other in this context. Since OP is explicitly asking for a value judgment (I don't know any other way to interpret "better"), lack of objectivity is part of the question. Not that there is anything wrong with asking for value judgments based on the opinions of a technically-minded group. But use of the word objective does not make it so.

So for maintenance and fault indications. Probably saves some time from someone digging up manuals for checking error codes from where ever they maybe placed or not. Also could display things like height and weight.
working in software, you should know how insanely complex software is, even google, amazon, microsoft, cloudflare and such have outages. mistakes happen because humans are involved. it is the nature and risk of depending complex systems. bridges by comparison are not that complicated.

I actually expected their stock to drop a lot more than this, but goes to show you how valuable they are. investors know that any dip is only temporary because no one is getting rid of crowdstrike.

Think of the security landscape as early 90's new york city at night and crowdstrike as the big bulky guy with lots of guns who protects you for a fee, if he makes a mistakes and hurts you, you will be mad but in the end your need for protection does not suddenly go away and it was a one time mistake.
I have been looking for something like this. To clarify it doesn't show pedestrians or bikes hit by cars? ( I live near a stretch of road that I know has several white bike memorials but this does not see to not have them there..)
If you have a networked hybrid heterogeneous system though now you have weakest link issue, since lateral movement can now happen after your weaker perimeter tool is breached
The big yjs problem for me is the documentation. A few of the most important sections are just “todo” placeholders, like the “how to write a provider” section.

It’s great at first, but woefully underdocumented if you want to use it in a way that doesn’t have off the shelf support, and the code is tough to parse (for me at least). Same with subdocuments.

I wanted to use it with Lexical a while back, and yjs plugin was too tightly coupled too a single data model and was too complicated to DIY.

they need to be processed in kernel mode where the monitoring happens, user mode EDRs are trivial to bypass. they have to be processed by whatever is going to use them, and in this case it is the "lightweight" sensor code in kernel mode.
Let's just barricade up the streets. No traffic = no traffic accidents. This is what's been happening in Chicago with all the island, speed humps, etc. Reducing traffic to a safe crawl.

The problem with those devices is that they slow down traffic even when there are no pedestrians around and the streets could be used to reduce congestion on the roads.

I wonder what effect slowing traffic down to a crawl has on overall emissions. I'm guessing not good. I bet speeders are overall more efficient than crawlers.
If we owned our own data truly, we could all have passive income.

> engineering predates modern science by thousands of years

And that engineering sucked, it was the end of the 18 century that it actually started to take off after Newton had invented the basic physics equations.

Before then stuff like projectile trajectories and load calculations were just hunches by people, not something you could trust or work with at scale. That meant a good engineer couldn't transfer their knowledge to a new person, basically making scaling up any kind of invention impossible.

A single person might have been able to make steam engines, but without science he had no way to transmit that knowledge because it is way too finicky for a person to just learn by hunches.
It’s not a compelling sales pitch to investors anywhere, I don’t think that’s the point. It’s a compelling sales pitch to workers in regions where economic prospects have dropped off a cliff in the past few decades. If you have no personal ties to those areas it may be hard to relate.

I don’t see why this would equate to low quality. Domestic companies are free to compete. Many countries have historically boot strapped industry through heavy use of tariffs. Japan is a great example, their auto industry likely wouldn’t exist without heavy tariffs in the beginning and China has extremely protectionist economic policy to this day.
I've found lots of interesting technical work via HN, github, youtube, and random blogs, often made by people who were simply interested in things, investigated them, and then decided to share them with other people.

I think open source type conferences may epitomize what conferences should be - like-minded people getting together to discuss and share work on problems that they are interested in.
because the thing that uses them is in kernel mode, and the sensor needs to be performant. at some point, the content must be consumed by the kernel mode sensor. user mode edr's exist but bypassing them is trivial, intercepting syscalls rootkit style and monitoring kernel+usermode memory is the best and most performant way to monitor the whole system.
In a nutshell, the ‘insider’ gives instructions to a broker
such as ‘on the 2nd Wednesday of every 3rd month, sell X number of shares if the market price is no less than Y’ and the broker executes on those instructions without any further contact with the insider.

The instructions are typically given well in advance of the first sale (and there is typically a schedule of sales rather than one-off sales).

So as the GP said… nothing to see here.

Not only is this accounting callous, it seems to presuppose that there is societal benefit in reckless, antisocial driving behavior. I don't believe that this is true. Imagine a world in which median vehicle speeds remained the same and traffic fatalities went to zero. I'd take that 10 times out of 10 compared to the status quo.

Of course I was being mildly hyperbolic when saying we could solve speeding with technological enforcement, but I genuinely believe it could make a massive difference and lead to a significant quality of life improvement for most people. For those with the need for speed, build more tracks. But we should stop normalizing reckless behavior on our shared roadways. There should be an expectation of safety and we should maximize traffic flux while minimizing traffic injuries and fatalities.
>It may put a dent in Microsoft as splash damage.

I have a feeling that Microsoft's PR team will be able to navigate this successfully and Microsoft might even benefit from this incident as it tries to pull customers away from CrowdStrike Falcon and into its own EDR product -- Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
"Cheevly is not a cloud service; everything runs on the user's desktop and connects only to third-party services explicitly authorized."

This, I like! Honestly, I would put this in big bold letters on your landing page as a key differentiator.

My work requires extreme scrutinization of third party services and certainly storing any data generated for work in an unvetted cloud. I haven't checked this out yet, but I will this weekend.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I already have flatpak, and enough space to run both Calibre and Foliate to compare them.
Real problem is not that it's just a damn lift and shouldn't need full Windows. It's that something as theoretically solved and done problem as an operating system is not practically so.

An Internet of Lift can be done with <32MB of RAM and <500MHz single core CPU. Instead they(for whoever they) put a GLaDOS-class supercomputer for it. That's the absurdity.
This is why power users want that standard old two digit '7 segment' display to show off that ONE hex code the BIOS writes to at various steps...

When stuff breaks, not if, WHEN it breaks, this at least gives a fighting chance at isolating the issue.
Idk why you're downvoted, but that aside I'm not sure about your thesis.

It's kinda tough following Desi politics tbh - you want to be honest about ideals, but the reality is everyone in the home country is "Chust".

Idk, if Sheikh Hasina was a LKY or even a Park Cheung He then the protests seen the past week wouldn't have happened.

I guess the BAP is now facing the Zhao question (or Indira in Tughlabad Distict in 1976) - to shoot or not shoot. Either way India, China, Russia, and the Gulf will continue to give her and the BAP sanction relief because she's built strong relations with everyone.

I'm not Muslim so I automatically lean more towards Hasina (Zia's enabling of the JeI is a dealbreaker and would automatically result in a civil war or even Indian intervention if she became PM), but if she decided to remain quasi-democratic she cannot find a middle ground. Either she becomes a full blown authoritarian or she has to cede power. A Hybrid Regime is inherently unstable.
Stroads make sense where there is little pedestrian (including bicycles, scooters, etc.) traffic.
You've been watching "the 12 monkeys" ? Or just read PKD's "The Penultimate Truth" ? Or even just "Terminator" because that seems to be about humanity's life underground. Or even the polish film "sexmission" from 1984. Or maybe Stanslaw Lem's "memoir found in a bathtub" about the pentagon 5 layers deep underground...
My manager actually blamed the more senior developer who reviewed my code for that one.
This has been my experience as well. I started with tools like supabase and appwrite and after spending so much time fiddling with their APIs, decided to do as this commenter suggested and found it wasn't as difficult as I was led to think.

Do people use fast doom as the basis for ports on lower end hardware now? I was looking into it earlier and impressed how many improvements it brings.
Yea.. I meant "not _just_ per capita."
Those are totally reasonable caveats to deal with currently. Thanks!
It is certainly possible to write bug-free code, in terms of meeting a formal specification of behavior, and guaranteeing no behavior outside that specification. It requires formal methods, and it's much more expensive than ordinary software development.

Creating exploit-free code is another matter - you have to be able to craft exploit-free specifications, and there's no real understanding what that might even mean. But bug-free software would be a start.
We can at least say that the more general RVV ISA doesn't slow down at least one low end RVV implementation vs NEON. Anything more is just FUD. Anyone building superscalar scalar CPUs will very likely be superscalar on the vector side also -- as even the THead C910 from 2019 is.

As for the longer vectors, no way to say for sure until we have such hardware, and even then different vendors will have different goals and very likely different quality of implementation.

At the time they ported that code the K230 was the only RVV 1.0 chip available.

The SpacemiT K1/M1 with 256 bit vector registers has now been available in the Banana Pi BPI-F3 for a few weeks, and is about to ship (this month they say) in the Sipeed Lichee Pi 3A, Milk-V Jupiter, SpacemiT Muse Pi. So no doubt the dav1d people (and others) will be getting busy with that.

Around the end of the year we'll have SG2380 machines with SiFive X280 cores with 512 bit vector registers. That should be very interesting, as SiFive have been designing those since at least 2018 and the quality of implementation should be very good.
So kind of like the xz exploit, carefully placed and laying in wait.

I only hope this was a good guy move by someone to knock a placed chess piece off the board.

No matter how good one's ground is, lots of LSD in a city apartment will likely drive you crazy.

I never have had a bad trip, except for that time I took 800 mu-g GG in my tiny apartment. I became insanely restless, waking up 12 hours later trying to open the window to get to more natural environment. My lights were dropped on the floor, as well as plenty of water, broken electronics and ruined papers.

Since then I've learned to use music and earplugs; keep the windows open; have high CRI bulbs; keep lots of plants; and to never hesistate going to an ice shower when feeling like a confused and mentally stressed ape.

The level of control one wants, I believe, is roughly the same as beating a nightmare disorder with lucid dreaming. One ALSO must have familiarity with "foundations" of the world, or else they will end up doing dumb stuff with dumb beliefs. By foundations I mean sort of at least grasping that it's all arbitary and then building what you want on That.
For a simple website JWTs are almost definitely an overkill (you would get all the drawbacks for none of the benefits). A session based authentication with some libs from your ecosystem for the crypto parts and a nice intro on how to combine them together could be the perfect thing for you.

I don't like it when (predatory?) journals and conferences charge fees for submission or publication; is that common in your field?

A very bad trend with (IEEE, ACM, etc.) in some conferences and journals has been to charge "open access fees." I prefer publication venues that are open access without fees. However, if you get stuck with one of these bad venues you can usually still publish preprints via your own web site.
