Not so sure about that. Waymo and Tesla are making progress.

The issue is the long tail of edge cases that take pretty much full-blow AGI to resolve completely. Soon the car will be able to recognize when it is confused and react in a safe manner while alerting the user. Only low-speed driving will be safe enough for full autonomy in the beginning. This is basically already deployed in limited areas.

> i thought you were talking about doing the rapid-response work in top-half interrupt handlers on linux.

When we talk about worst-case latency to high priority top-half handlers on linux, it comes down to

A) how much time all interrupts can be disabled for. You can drive this down to near 0 by e.g. not delivering other interrupts to a given core.

B) whether you have any weird power saving features turned on.

That is, you can make choices that let you consistently hit a couple hundred ns.

> i guess maybe you're saying that if you move the work into userland tasks instead of interrupts you get tens of microseconds of latency

I think "tens" is unfair on most computers. I think "several" is possible on most, and you can get "a couple" with careful system design.

> i'm not sure that the 'apples to apples' comparison between amd64 systems and avr microcontrollers is to use equal numbers of cores on both systems.

I wasn't saying equal numbers of cores. I was saying:

* Compare interrupt handlers with interrupt handlers; not interrupt handlers with tasks. Task latency on FreeRTOS/AVR is not that great.

* Compare latency to latency, or jitter to jitter.

> be systems of similar costs

The price of a microcontroller running an RTOS is trivial, and you can even get to something running preempt_rt for about the cost of a high-end AVR (which is not a cheap microcontroller).

You have to sell a lot of units and have a particularly trivial problem to be ahead doing things the "hard way."

It's certainly the least a vendor should do, but it's absolutely not the least a vendor could do, as we see the vast majority of vendors do far, far less. It's worth holding people up and saying, "This is how you should be doing it."
Ask HN: Platform for 11 year old to create video games?
My 11 year old has a lot of interest in creating games. They are a very creative kid currently experimenting with using Power Point/Google Presentations to create a crafting and turn based combat style game but is running into the obvious limitations of this setup. They have some very rudimentary understanding of coding (together we recently created a command line version of Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock from scratch in Python and they were able to follow along the whole way), but I don’t think their best bet is to start with a code first platform just yet. Maybe something with scripting capabilities when they need them but mostly with the ability to create a point and click interface with something specific happening on each click.

Does anyone know what’s out there that would work for them in this case? FWIW I don’t know Lua but anything with JavaScript or Python built in would make it easy for me to help them. Thanks in advance!
Thing is, LLMs can teach the fundamentals if the person is clever enough to ask it. Eg if I was just starting out and didn't understand the difference between bash and ssh, I can chat with the LLM until I get it.

The UK, which creates UK pounds, can pay off these UK pound debts any time it likes; any day between lunch and tea time that it decides to do so, it can.

Discussions of sovereign debts as if they were the same as debts owed by individuals are laughable.

The stated actions planned by Labour (generally impoverishing the populace and slowing the economy) will have the effect of increasing the notional indebtedness of the UK, not decreasing it.

Your last sentence kinda contradicts the fact that the company Google operates the server behind gmail.com.

If Google was evil (but in reality it's not), it could have forged and signed an email from john.smith@gmail.com with valid DKIM, sent on other mail servers or not (since we talk about leaked emails, we just need a file), when in reality the Google user john.smith@gmail.com never sent that email. To me, John Smith could have plausible deniability in court, depending on if everyone trusts Google to be 100% reliable. If the stakes are higher than what the company would risk to lose if found to have forged the email, what's stopping them?

This is a very insightful summary, thank you! A few things to add about AnySkin that might be relevant:

- AnySkin expressly handles wear and gunk by being replaceable. So if it wears out, and you have a heuristic or learned model for the old skin, it will work pretty well on the new skin! We verify this through an analysis of the raw signal consistency across skins, as well as through visuotactile policies learned using behavior cloning. We found swapping skins to work for some pretty precise tasks like inserting USBs and swiping credit cards.

- Could definitely be used for part motion detection

- Soft, inflatable grippers are effective, but often passive. AnySkin is not just soft, but also offers contact information from the interaction to actively ensure that blueberry doesn't get squished!

- This sensor would be key for robots that seek to use learned ML policies in cluttered environments. Robots are very likely to encounter scenarios where they see an object they must interact with, but the object is occluded either by their own end-effector(s) or by other objects. Touch, and an understanding of touch in relation to vision becomes critical to manipulate objects in these settings.

- Industrial robots do have very sensitive motor and arm feedback. However, these systems are bulky and unsafe to integrate into household robotic technologies. Sensors like AnySkin could be used as a powerful, lightweight solution in these scenarios, potentially by integrating with some exciting recent household robotics models like Robot Utility Models.

- ReSkin, the predecessor to AnySkin, has previously been used quite effectively for fabric manipulation! (see work from David Held's group at CMU). AnySkin is more reliable as well as more consistent and could potentially improve the performance seen in prior work.
It doesn't matter. Choosing a framework is not actual work. When you are not building, neither has advantages, and you are not building.

Sure, maybe one or the other might make the work marginally easier. But it is going to be hard work no matter what...if you build of course. Not building is the easiest path by far, and there is nothing wrong with not building.

The app idea is a social networking application so it would need users, likes, comments, messaging and an activity stream/news feed.

The hard part of building a social networking app is getting a bunch of people interested in doing those things with it. They don't care about your technology. And they damn sure don't care about how easy or hard it was for you to build.

Good luck.

One would think so, but apparently it varies between manufacturers. Our machines are all carving up a flat surface resting on a table. I think what's going on is that functionally that means that the working head is permanently upside-down.

Syncwire 190 Tire Inflator Review: Pop Can Size Flat Fixer
Actually in the case of Iraq at least, not only do many, many, many people say exactly that -- they were saying so at the time it happened, and not only saying it but marching in the streets, in crowds of hundreds of thousands, and screaming it at the top of their lungs -- in the vain hope that someone might listen.

In fact I'll say it right now (minus your jingoistic lingo about the USA's "regime" which really doesn't apply to its government of course):

The US government decided to start a war of invasion in Iraq. It's an initiative from the US and the US alone, and all consequences are derived from the US's actions. There is no way around it.

There, done. And guess what -- the exact same description applies 100 percent to Putin's invasion of Ukraine. It really was just as voluntary and made-up and evil and stupid as the Iraq invasion. It's an initiative from Russia and Russia alone, and all consequences are derived from Russia's actions. There is no way around it. And (just as with Iraq) anyone can see through the fog, and see the situation for exactly what it is they want to.

More fundamentally: you know, the whole "hypocrisy" debate is really quite impotent and useless as applies to these situations, across the board. Much better to focus on why the evil happened, who is responsible and how to stop the evil currently and prevent it from ever happening again.

How Technology Is Making Olympic Mountain Bikers Faster
All right, forget about a budget. In fact, even forget about money. Money isn't all that real; the real economy is about stuff. The economy has a maximum capacity for a given set of workers, resources, and technology. The basic economic question is, which stuff is going to be produced, and where is it going to go? Who's going to get it, and what are they going to do with it?

In a market economy, we use money to organize and manage that. But if we print more money, that doesn't create any more stuff at all. If the government is printing more money, two things are happening: The government is buying more of the stuff that's being produced, and the price of stuff is going up (because there's more money chasing the same amount of stuff). That means that everybody who's not the government is getting less of the stuff.

Now, that can be fine, if the government is doing things with the stuff that are going to pay society back down the road. If not, though, the government is just using up more stuff, leaving everybody else with less stuff, and causing inflation into the bargain.

So the question is: What made up that debt of 100% of GDP? Was it good investments that are going to pay the UK back? Or was it just waste?
I don't know of one IRA bombing in the 1960s, never mind multiple "bombings".

> I thought that only hawking radiation could escape a black hole.

I think this is likely a misconception too. Hawking radiation does not come from inside a black hole, it comes from the event horizon. A virtual particle/anti-particle pair is created close enough to the event horizon that one of them falls in and the other escapes. This means the origin is outside the hole!

Similar story with jets. They're created by the interactions of matter as it falls towards the black hole (gaining energy), but before it actually falls inside.
Huh, I guess Intel probably has a lot of patents.
The right word is "confabulation". Which is when we fill in missing information but may not be aware that we are doing it.

We all confabulate to some degree, as any neural system must, since no training data is stored perfectly.

Human "hallucinations" in contrast, are a particular kind of breakdown in our sensory feedback loops. Which is not a process LLMs even have.

Hallucinations occur when our internal sensory feedback loops overpower actual sensory input, resulting in a stream of false sensory experience/signals being generated and processed. The false running experience might still incorporate some actual sensory information or not.

When we dream, we are hallucinating - our sensory experience loop running free of our actual senses - to a productive purpose.

The reason our senses have feedback is so that we can use our interpretation of sensory input as cues to make interpreting the next moments input easier. But its important that our running interpretation can reset when new input significantly diverges from our expectations so it can quickly reorient.

(Not only is it important to revert to a raw input interpretation to ensure our running interpretation keeps up the actual context changes and corrects misinterpretations, but such resets signal that something novel or unexpected has happened, so likely trigger learning.)

So "hallucinations" was an unfortunate and misleading choice of terminology.
Dang. Lefties ruining this too, huh?

Not really. Countries able to reprocess spent fuel generally have a large stock of weapons-grade plutonium from disarmament and warhead upgrades.

For a non-nuclear-weapon nation, there are simpler and cheaper ways of producing higher-quality plutonium than building a fleet of PWR power stations and a reprocessing plant.

The real problem with reprocessing is that it is not very profitable if the cost of disposing of the waste is low.

> Focusing on the weapons part seems not the point of the article to me & shades a bad light/gives the wrong impression.

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion if you carefully read the article. Here are the third and fourth paragraphs of the article, reproduced verbatim:

> The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it. The current discourse around the potential reach of such explosive devices is clouded by the assumption that it’s technically difficult to implement and thus unlikely to find its way to our front door.

> That assumption is wrong. It is both surprisingly easy to do, and could be nearly impossible to detect. After I read about the attack, it took half an hour to combine fairly common supply chain knowledge with Wikipedia queries to propose the mechanism detailed below.

These two paragraphs explain that the article will seek to dispel the misconception that it would be difficult to create a fully-functional but booby-trapped lithium ion battery pack. The last sentence of the last paragraph explicitly states that the article will go on to describe a plausible mechanism for manufacturing a battery that is a functional battery and also a bomb.

I get that some folks have a very strong opinion that talking about weapons of destruction is bad, bad, bad. But to shame folks for talking about the production of weapons of destruction when the stated goal of the article is to _talk about weapons of destruction_ is just plain fucked up.

Thanks! There are a few things at play. High level, it's important to note we provide infra for you — so our multi-tenancy supports many tenants for every user.

In general, fairness means distributing work evenly amongst all accounts. This largely means partitioned queues. Firstly, every functions have their own queues. We have queues of queues: queues of functions available. And then we have queues of accounts. And so on. It's like nesting dolls all the way down.

There are lots of really fine details to get right: continuations, step parallelism, `connect()` with long running workers all mess with fairness, as do batching, debounce, throttling.

We wrote about it in some detail here: https://www.inngest.com/blog/building-the-inngest-queue-pt-i.... We'll probably do some deeper dives on this next year, too!

I'm not talking about the room list - that (along with settings) looks fine and is absolutely on-par or nicer than standard Element. :)

"Main chat view" is the actual chatroom view. The bubble layout has spacing that makes it hard to scan messages - there's small padding on the bubbles themselves, but then you have inconsistent spacing on e.g if there's a list or something in that bubble, with lists in particular having a seemingly different line-height or spacing between items. Bubbles themselves have little spacing between each other, and then day separators also have odd spacing.

Additionally, I still have a weird green floating box showing up in the chat input box. It's on and off with every update and it's not click/tap-able, and I have zero clue why it's there.
Sometimes one is also significantly cheaper than the other, and if you're flexible and willing to take the risks implied, it can make sense.
You can't just look at the stock price. INTC has split and had dividends since 1998.

If you bought $10,000 of INTC in Sept 19th, 1998 and held it to today the stock would be worth $17,000 and you would've collected almost $12,000 in dividends.
