I tried this once. There was no convincing effect for being able to "detect by feel" AC currents, but you could definitely notice magnetic materials.

Maybe the most fun, though, was just playing around and "picking up" paperclips and tiny screws by flicking my finger at them.
I'm referring to bad actors adding things to the APK or altering it, though there is more evidence of the issue raised in the post below yours: folks who attempt to gather info from users in order to offer the software (outside the app stores) and from those pages collect other user info and introduce malware.
it's the increased vulnerability to 'overspending' because according to them the realworld values of things aren't displayed alongside virtual currency amounts.
There's starting to be off the shelf Meshtastic hardware, otherwise I'd agree.

Actually using custom hardware or soft is not something I consider a reasonable choice, basically ever, unless there's no off the shelf alternative, or I'm specifically being paid to create said off the shelf alternative.

CB has a bit better range but otherwise I'd mostly agree.

In practice FRS is the only thing I ever actually use besides checking in at the weekly net with a Baofeng, it's just the standard everywhere, even for small scale commerical stuff, and it's what everyone I know already has.
I remember being homeless and wanting to apply as a USPS mail sorter. There was a big warning on the application that inaccuracies were a felony. I don't have a great memory of all my job and life history so I decided a was better off homeless than a homeless felon. I wonder how many people that keeps away.

Just got my inaugural Waymo rides and access.

Comparing to all drivers is one thing, but comparing to ride shares is another and yeah, Uber and Lyft are done.

The market is definitely going to choose Waymo.

The new reservations of a driverless car arent going to be big enough to trump the distrust and negative experience of other humans, given the option. The pricing is comparable, and the rest of the experience is better. The driverless part also seems trained on the driving customs of the area, here in LA it was assertive when it needed to be and overall impressive. LA has some sketchy left turn customs and the car did it fine.

AI systems should be able to do better. I don't think saying "yeah, we're done here" is acceptable.

The next step is to start building models of human minds (as is modeling human behavior, not literal mind uploads), as well as models of every self driving car model, and do full on global (-ish, limited to the general area) optimization of outcomes according to a publicly available and audited decision theory and utility function.

It's the only way to enable superhuman avoidance actions without making things worse by confusing others. This is why the models of humans and other robotic cars are needed.
If only they would deploy faster. I really doubt their crash rate would spike up to human levels if they expanded 2x or 10x faster.

Living in Silicon Valley I've been passing those cars for a decade without the opportunity to ride. Now they even have regulatory approval for this area, but still no service and no timeline for service.
Once in a while I look over the shoulder of a random person and see their browsing experience that is completely unusable: banners, popups, prompts... Was especially shocking to see what watching videos on YouTube is like today, worse than what I remember TV used to be.

It is mentioned in the article, talking about a budget imitation of a budget imitation of CGI.
Kinda depends what you're asking.

There are IP camera 12V UPSes you can get that are ok -- I have a few TalentCell 98Wh units -- but they don't actually deliver regulated power, they just tap directly off of the li-ion cells. Those are about $65.

With an inverter UPS, $50 gets you a unit with a single 12V / 8ah or so lead-acid cell; 90 or so watt-hours _could_ be reasonable except that the inverter draws upwards of 10-15W while running, so these units actually won't run even a router for more than a couple of hours. Also, lead-acid dies after about 3 years, and then you're in for another $15 or and a bit of a pain replacing it. I'm really sick of doing surgery on old UPSes at this point and trying to move entirely to LFP for the 10 year lifespan alone.

If you want really long runtime, you basically have to DIY, but it's fortunately quite straightforward. Larger LFP batteries are about $250 per kWh, sometimes less. DIY'ing it, you can pick your capacity/runtime independent of your wattage, vs pre-packaged UPSes that frequently couple the two.

(I have a big pile of APC UPSes of various sorts, some with external expansion battery packs, and it's quite a hassle to get truly extended runtime from any of them -- I don't want to have a generator, I want 20 hours of extended runtime. I realize I'm a little weird, but I like to hope I'm just ahead of the curve a little on switching. :-)
Humans are bad at driving and in the last 5 years the behavior of the most extreme drivers way out on the tail of the bad driver bell curve has become much worse. Waymo is just acting as a recording device to quantify how bad these bozos are.
There are other query languages out there, many of which fix the glaring issues with SQL. For example, Microsoft's Kusto Query Language (KQL) has the "FROM" clause at the beginning to enable tab-complete, you can chain multiple "WHERE" clauses without needing to use "AND", etc...

Wow, can you share some studies that led you to that conclusion?
Transaction processing was basically invented on mainframes. High-throughput, high-volume, low-latency. I'm not sure about high-frequency trading, but in article nxobject linked above they say ~70% of financial transactions are processed on mainframes. So credit card transactions, bank transactions. Historically, things like airline reservations were also done on mainframes.

After landing on the moon we shouldn’t be bickering and arguing who voted and who didn’t, and if there was fraud or not.

Back in the 90s in the post-Jurassic Park TV/film landscape, it wasn’t common for similar CGI models to appear in waves, e.g., multiple shows with the same variations of janky CGI dinosaurs. My guess was that a VFX shop, having created a model did the hard sell to multiple sci-fi producers to try to get as much profit out of the initial work as possible.
An unusual and clever use of a GPT, to find out what is missing from a conversation -- in this case, the debate.

Ah, wouldn't it have been nice if any of these issues had been truly addressed?
I do like the idea. But which amount do you show when virtual currencies have different values depending on how much you acquire at a time? Or should it always show worst 1:1 equivalence?
Impressive, but does it come in eggshell with Romalian type?
I remember seeing a few of these too. For reference, this is what they typically looked like from my experience.

That's not the same kind of problem. Photo ID requirements restrict voting access, voting holiday expands it.
As someone learning 3D animation for indie games, it seems to take at least a year to get good enough. And even after spending that much time drinking from the firehose of information that Youtube is, I suspect that someone with a 4-year degree in animation would have a significant leg up over someone learning by themselves.

I think there are a lot of people who are going to school for animation, but maybe supply and demand are mismatched? But at the same time, a lot of VFX, animation and game studios are doing layoffs, so there probably shouldn't be that much a shortage of talent? I suspect GP comment may be right that the studios that are not able to find animation talent may just not be willing to compete on salaries.
I find it interesting that cheap animation went from cell-based hand-drawn animation to CGI over the last 20ish years. It used to be that if you saw something that was computer-animated, it was expensive and care was spent on the whole production. Now, you can assume that if you see traditional 2D cell-based animation that it’s more likely to be a prestige project.

It's a lot easier, in a code review, to ask for a detailed commit message that conforms to a certain format, than to say things like, "can you add comments?" Which line or change deserves a comment is subjective.

In my open source projects, I use GNU ChangeLog format in the log messages.
This mentions every file that is touched, and every defined entity (function, type, macro, variable, ...). In a code review, while it would still be difficult to enforce the quality of what is written about these things in the comment due to subjective reasons, there are objective aspects to it. When reviewing, you can point out something like "you changed the initializer of global variable g_foo, but it's not mentioned in the commit message".

Sure, API comment headers can be enforced reviews. But those are not the comments this discussion is about (and elsewhere I identified these as necessary comments that can't be farmed out into the git log messages).
I wonder if this would be a good choice to adapt for IP based networks.

I've been annoyed for a very long time at the way IoT within a LAN is done, we have things like the ESPHome native API that are so close to perfect, but use too many different data types for different things, and don't have client and server implementations in different languages.

Most of what we have is either very limited or meant to be manually maintained by an IT staff updating certificates and such.

And once you leave the LAN it's even worse, you need all sorts of manual setup or else usually paid cloud gateways.

Then if you want to also use Bluetooth the protocols are entirely different and incompatible, almost nothing is built for both IP and lightweight RF.
FWIW these companies already invest pretty heavily in predicting the behavior of other agents (cars, pedestrians, squirrels...) in the vicinity.

But clearly it is not publicly available or audited.
This could get interesting in light of recent changes to California law. A similar program designed to "normalize" rent. Is now illegal. Even the FTC has agreed that price fixing by algorithm is still price fixing. https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2024/03/price-fix....

Isn't predicting the future actions of agents in the scene half of what Waymo already does?
Mac OS has option+- for en dash and option+shift+- for em dash. I used to add similar bindings on Windows via AutoHotkey (which is an amazing app all around...)

There's also option+space for &nbsp; and other goodies. I recently added option+x for "checkmark x" and option+v for "checkmark v" since I like dropping those around more often than I should...

> I really doubt their crash rate would spike up to human levels if they expanded 2x or 10x faster.

If you look at some of the skepticism around self-driving cars in the US, it makes sense that they're going slow and careful.

Even if a spike in accidents was still lower than the equivalent for humans, that would bring a lot of political scrutiny to Waymo that would then slow their deployment.
It's a 2 michelin star restaurant. Insanity is the point.
I'm with you. I fundamentally don't see the problem. I actually think it's great.

My understanding was that Android apps were quite unsecure and could be pirated and distributed by another "developer" in an app store in a different country without the original developer ever knowing.

I'd definitely feel better in a self-driving car where I wouldn't feel any awkwardness about changing the music or just watching a loud video on my phone.

As I understand it, a lot of women in the areas where Waymo's currently deployed feel safer without having a driver as well.
Yeah, even with a perfect measuring-scale, people should be ignoring its daily reading in favor of a running average across multiple days.

How did you get Spotify to play? Are you using an official Spotify client? Casting Spotify via code/home assistant somehow? When I tried to do something similar (was trying to run a cron job to cast a particular playlist from Spotify to play on my chromecast audio/speakers every morning) maybe 8 years ago I couldn’t figure out how. Maybe it’s easier now?
People that use CAD for a full time job? 2k/yr is basically nothing. As a business expensive it’s a rounding error.
I agree with the OP, you have impeccable taste. I fairly recently watched a documentary on Dieter Rams and have been somewhat obsessed since, looking forward to going through your back catalogue of posts.

Whenever I get the urge to go full on homelab like this, I remind myself that my poor wife will have to deal with the whole thing if I pass away. I’ve sort of settled on just having a single small home Linux server that backs up otherwise accessible cloud stuff that my wife can manage. I can still appreciate your setup though…
I missed the "yeah, we're done here" part. Don't think Waymo is going to pause their safety research program now.
Can't wait for the moment when the majority of cars on the road will be self-driving. I assume that safety will only increase as the proportion rises. The sheer amount of victims from driving is insane - we'll look back on it as we now look to infectious diseases of the past.
I'd be a lot more impressed if the person who created this pasted in the correct debate.

China Asks Its Carmakers to Keep Key EV Technology at Home
I have 100s of hours of FreeCAD experience from my day job designing injection molded parts for toys.

For some background, for about ~3-4 years (~5 years ago) I started using FreeCAD 1.18.1 in my job (and even more before that for hobby use). I am used to using open-source software with bad UI, so that's not my major complaint. As long as you stick mostly in the Part Design, Part, and TechDraw workbenches, you should get used to the UI. I used the main branch of FreeCAD up until 1.19.1 but then switched to RealThunder's LinkBranch [2]. I switched for the topological naming fixes (some introduced in this 1.0), assembly workbench (not the same as in this 1.0), and other many quality of life fixes (multiple solids per body and 3D offsets for most Part Design boolean operations). It was never great but it got the job done. As long as you never need complex organic 3D surfaces, FreeCAD can work - or at least the LinkBranch did for me, I'll have to test 1.0.

However, my biggest complaint is with the CAD engine FreeCAD uses: OpenCASCADE (OCCT) [1]. As with most CAD engines, this thing is OLD. It does not like to make NURBS surfaces with true tangency to other faces, and it really doesn't like when fillits cross edges into other faces. You will spend hours adjusting cosmetic geometry so that dress up features like fillits and chamfers will apply. Unless some group of PhDs with some hardcore C/C++ experience come along or the company that develops OCCT gets some major funding, I don't think FreeCAD will improve enough for day-to-day design of complex parts for a long time.

Nowadays, I use Fusion 360. I prefer SolidWorks but Fusion is all my job offers me currently. For a CAD package, and coming from years of FreeCAD, Fusion 360 just works. I have tools for making arbitrary complex surfaces (could still be better), I can create fillets that cross into other faces (most of the time), and I can go back in history and edit features and my model will rebuild itself (to a limit, but even the FreeCAD LinkBranch had more issues than Fusion even though it was better than vanilla 1.19.1 and 1.20 FreeCAD). Fusion also has a proper assembly system, which is essential! You can cheat and create parts in FreeCAD by linking sketches to geometry in other parts, but it can only get you so far before you need to go back in time and everything breaks upon a rebuild.

I hate to say it, but FreeCAD has a lot of work to do other than the UI. I want to use FreeCAD but it wastes too much of my time for professional work. I would still use it for simple hobby projects.

I could talk for hours on this stuff.

My guess was that a VFX shop, having created a model did the hard sell to multiple sci-fi producers to try to get as much profit out of the initial work as possible.

This or anything like it never happened and never came close to being considered for multiple reasons, including that the vfx studio wouldn't technically own that asset and that the model itself wouldn't be the most difficult part of the process.

What actually happened was that after a huge success like jurassic park, dinosaurs were hot and more dinosaur projects were made.

I’d like to see a comparison of Waymo to the top 10% of drivers, rather than average.

I’d consider my dad a good driver - he’s driven many hundreds of thousands of miles without a crash in probably 30 years. Does such data exist?

Saludos desde el otro lado del charco!

And, to contribute something to the discussion: yeah, here in Argentina we have a similar situation. Import taxes are stupid high for some (most) products, making them prohibitively expensive for most people. Although high levels of inequality allow some people to access these kinds of goods, so for exmaple there's a non-zero market for iPhones here.

In the case of EVs, i haven't seen any cars here yet[1] —i suspect because of total lack of infrastructure for them, besides the high prices— but there's quite a lively market of electric scooters in Buenos Aires. They are not that expensive, and people can charge them in their homes.

This Uruguayan initiative of retrofitting electric motors into old cars is encouraging. I hope regulations serve a good purpose like setting good standards, instead of killing the movement outright :/

[1]: There's an Argentinian-made electric car with which i unfortunately share a nickname: Tito. But it's a total scam; a Chinese design ripoff with a ridiculously high price for what it's worth.
The end goal here is to force everyone to make a google account. Right now, we can get around it with Aurora Store etc, but with this, which WILL become the default, mark my words, google is attempting to close the lock.

They are using their monopolistic position to force everyone to do business with them. If that's not illegal, it should be.
this is amazing! the one sin you've committed is not running neofetch / fetch lol. I want to learn a lot more about booting in this aspect. It seems pretty neat that all it really does is load a couple of addresses that then look for an ELF binary vmlinux that is parsed and ran. Seems fairly simple all things considered.
It's 100% this.
I look at car channels on YouTube and there’s all this community around engine swaps and similar so it remains disappointing that there isn’t any real gas->EV equivalent market. I assume part of it is imply lack of secure space for the giant explosive mass that is current lithium battery tech, but it’s still surprising that there’s seemingly next to no option.
I’m looking forward to it but it’s sad in a way too. The self driving cars are going to be heavily regulated. In a really dystopian setup, you would be restricted from leaving your zone.
In the middle east we often give way to other people by using the hands to show a “Here, please pass” gesture. It greatly accelerates the traffic because then pedestrians or cars don’t doubt your intention and can engage on the street.

Do you do the same in LA for left turns, and did Waymo find a replacing clue?
>"AMD has announced a new PC motherboard architecture for embedded PC applications, which it calls the Embedded+ integrated computing platform. From a hardware perspective, the Embedded+ platform architecture drops an FPGA onto a PC motherboard, connects the FPGA to the x86 CPU via PCIe, and routes the I/O pins from the FPGA to a newly defined expansion connector on the motherboard. In essence, the FPGA becomes a smart – nay, brilliant – I/O expander and hardware compute accelerator for the host x86 CPU."

This is how all x86 PC (and other computer) motherboard proprietary chipsets -- should have been implemented -- but never were!

i.e., the use of an FPGA (or multiple FPGA's) for I/O and other motherboard support functions -- is preferable to any proprietary chipset...

Anyone at Framework (https://frame.work/) listening?
