Public access appears to have been an explicit condition of the government grant they applied to for the money to make the scans.
It concerns me that these Tesla's can suddenly start acting differently after a software update. Seems like a great target for a cyber attack. Or just a fail from the company. A little bug that is accidentally spread to millions of cars all over the world.

And how is this regulated? Say the software gets to a point that we deem it safe for full self driving, then it gets approved on the road, and then Tesla adds a new fancy feature to their software and rolls out an update. How are we to be confident that it's safe?
By that standard, successful societies are the ones without a story. While the ones with story are autocratic and dictatorships.

ICBMs existed back then as well. If the nuke comes from too close, there is no ability to react with early warning systems. That was the core problem with Cuban Missile Crisis.

Good point. Probably shouldn't be concerned about Russia either then!

If you're using a framework like React to manage updates to the DOM, then you probably don't want to use selectedoption in the first place because it's just as easy and more flexible/predictable to use the framework's existing patterns for keeping different parts of the DOM in sync.

So the main target audience for selectedoption is probably people not using a framework, and using no or little JavaScript. That audience probably would want selectedoption to "just work" without having to manually call a function to reset things. So while option 1 seems like a reasonable option to me personally as someone who mainly works with React, it's probably not what most people using selectedoption would want.

Option 2 just has too much potential for introducing hard to debug and hard to fix performance issues, so I feel like it's automatically not the best choice. Its main advantage is that it's probably the most straightforward to understand/explain.

Option 4 would help with the performance issues, but it sounds like it would be a nightmare for browsers to implement. It would also be a bit difficult to explain to devs how exactly it works and what edge cases need to be considered (like mutating the selectedoption "fork" potentially causing issues).

So by process of elimination option 3 seems like the best to me. It solves the performance issues but it's still pretty easy to understand/explain. It's main disadvantage seems to be that from the perspective of code running synchronously it's possible for the selectedoption and option to get out of sync, but 1) it's a bit hard to imagine a practical use case for needing to do this kind of comparison and 2) simply waiting until the next microtask before doing the comparison would probably be an easy fix even if this is a problem in some cases.

For all of these options, it might be useful for there to be some way to intercept the default behavior. For example maybe there could be some event such that calling .preventDefault() inside an event handler has the side effect of preventing the selectedoption from being reset, if resetting it is not desired. Of course you don't need to use selectedoption at all if the automatic resetting is not desired, but maybe there will be some cases where you only want to make an exception in a few cases but generally do want the selectedoption default behavior.
As a Retired psychotherapist I worked with many abused children and adults over my 20 years of practice but never with a AI child nor AI adult who had been abused.

I have seen first hand the life long damage caused by the abuses of children whether that be neglect, violence or psychological and sexual abuse.

By always focusing on the sexual abuses of children there is a tendency in society to overlook the impact of the damage caused to children through neglect, violence and psychological abuse.

I would rather see the real culprits of online child abuse in the dock and that means the big tech companies who should be doing so much more to protect our children's psychological well being online.

Ai images are not children nor are they photos of real children.

you cannot abuse a computer generated image.
Sure, it is not exact. But rhe claim was literally India has almost no violence while UK has.

Even if this stat is inaccurate, it still shows India having plenty of violence and makes the claim dubious.
It's hard to understand the position of AI companies, when their AIs can be prompted to reproduce copyrighted works verbatim, e.g.

https://imgur.com/a/XBO2B7V

You can argue that a game that old ought not to be still in copyright, and I'd support that position.

But it is in copyright, and I'd rather a world where we curtail copyright terms but enforce them fairly rather than a world in which we stifle culture by automated means of suppressing "DMCA" violations on some platforms while large platform owners invest in AI which trample over the notion of copyright.
I was thinking about that in the case of "Mr. A" mentioned in TFA. They noted (but kinda glossed over) the fact that he had some sort of bowel disease, and obviously I don't know how much that informed his decision, but chronic health problems can bring immense physical, emotional, and social suffering.

I had this, in 2011. I was in another country, attending job interviews I had been invited to.

It was the single worst experience of my life. I was in a hotel, a fever crept in. Then my throat was so swollen I could barely talk. I was sweating so much that my delirious brain decided it would be a good idea to lay out all the clothes in my suitcase onto the bed. I had a fever dream that my brother had called an ambulance to save me.

I then woke up to realise I was still actually in hell. I managed to muster up the strength to go down to the hotel lobby and ask the hotel receptionist to direct me to the nearest pharmacy. I almost couldn't speak because my throat was almost swollen shut. Sweat was literally pouring down my face and I sounded, let's say, incompetent.

I eventually arrived at the pharmacy and I honestly credit the lovely lady there for saving my life. She gave me fever reducers and a concentrated iodine-based throat gargle.

It took around five days to recover from this, I had missed my flight and had to book a new one back. When I arrived back home, the first comment I received was "there is no colour in your face, you're white as a sheet".

I've had many of the nasty viruses several times (covid, you-name-it flu, measles even, please do not ask).

This was by far the worst illness I can remember.
thank you for the education :) this is so good!

Came here for a martial arts tutorial, which I thought was a bit weird to see front page on HN, and now I see an alternative to git.

I don't particularly like git and for personal projects use fossil instead.

Without going through the whole tutorial, and doing a lot more reading, why should I consider using this over fossil?

places politics over the code. I'm pro GNU, but on handling the bullshit, I'm like Theo. Show me the code or GTFO, and keep any politics away. The compiler doesn't care about which gender, race, sex or nationality you belong.

On cherry-picking comments out of context, if you develop software the same way you redact your arguments, sorry, but I consider fallacies the same as bugs in code creating segfaults. If your clauses contradict yourself, your whole discourse gets NULL.

Learn to argue, and stop behaving like a Fox News anchor but at the opposite side. Emotions wont give you any new points on truth, neither the new Satanic Panic against your opponent.
Given that Tesla software engineers were sent in to assess Twitter’s codebase after Musk bought it, plus all the shenanigans around Musk’s pay package from Tesla, surely the EU would be justified in including Tesla as well? (Assuming you grant the logic of treating all these companies as a sort of unbundled conglomerate.)
Looks very interesting.

I am more familiar with React - am looking for a React example that achieves similar UI, any working examples I can take inspiration from?
Considering that strep A deaths are probably 100x easier to prevent than cancer deaths, this means that’s we should focus on Strep A at least as much as on cancer.
Replace it with “ph” in every word, and you’ll have the phine benephit of sounding like a 90s indie band or a 70s phone hacker.
It is not really a phone - it is more like a Wifi connected device which makes all calls over VOIP. There is no GSM connection and therefore no SIM etc. I like the project but calling this a phone is inaccurate.

If a GSM module is also included, this would be a lovely device to have. Also, would be nice to have a much larger screen.
that was fun to play, gets incredibly unstable if you survive too long.
Python for PAM is fine for exploring, but it's a bad idea for "serious" modules.

That's because your PAM module might be called within the context of another Python interpreter. That might not be in a state that can run your code.

Even libc++ for C++ can cause issues.

Ideally, PAM should just die and be replaced by a simple network service on the DBUS. PolKit is actually pretty decent, although its choice of the language sucks.
Interesting that your first thought here is not, oh, how can I use this to improve the docs I am writing, but it is, how can I prove that this improves the docs I am writing. You seem to live in a though environment.

Show HN: Co-Op Translator: Automate Markdown and Image Translations with Azure
I’d like to share Co-op Translator, a tool I’ve been working on to automate the translation of project documentation.

It uses Azure OpenAI for text translation and Azure Computer Vision for extracting text from images, allowing developers to quickly translate Markdown files and images into multiple languages with minimal manual effort.

Why Co-op Translator?
It automates the tedious process of translating project docs while keeping Markdown formatting intact.
Supports both Markdown and image translations.
Great for internationalization and localization of open-source projects.

I’m looking for feedback from the community on how to improve the tool or any additional features that could be useful.

> that was actually what the outcry about Apple's version was about. The more the hash algorithm tried to produce the same hash for different variants of a photo, the more likely it was that someone could get their hands on a flagged hash and theoretically send you an innocuous looking photo that registered as CSAM.

That was totally infeasible. There were two separate hashes, a public one and a private one, and there needed to be multiple false positives for the system to trigger. So not only would you need to generate collisions for two separate hashes simultaneously, including one for which there are no public details, you would need to do it for several images.

People made a lot of assumptions about how it would work without actually reading the papers Apple published on how it would work. So there’s this caricature of the system in people’s minds that is a lot simpler and easier to fool than the reality. That’s what Apple was forced to react to.
If the track is known, then from the context of this and other things you like, you would still reach useful recommendations in not too many clicks. Track level would be interesting, but is also harder as data is a lot sparser making it harder to build reliable recommendations.

Of course Prolog is no magic but I'm sure you know the argument in favor of having LLMs generate Prolog are based on the observation that prompting or otherwise making an LLM to perform chain-of-thought reasoning results in demonstratable experimental improvements, with [1] the canonical paper, and using Prolog with its unique characteristics and roots in NLP and logic an extension of that idea termed program-as-thought. OpenAI's latest o1 model makes heavy use of CoD internally until it returns an answer to the user.

We use JSON patch for all PATCH endpoints in our .NET APIs. The only downside I see is slowness if you need to patch some tens of thousands of resources.
(didn't look at the code yet but) Would a challenge of building an app like this that heavily depends on a LLM be getting a deterministic response back? I guess you could code for it to check if it gave you a certain format of data or if it was what you expected, but if I upload something that Claude doesn't understand and it gives back something that breaks the data analysis then that seems it would be tricky to handle that case.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!

We use MongoDB for data storage, so using JSON patch in the PATCH endpoints feels very natural. Just fetch the Mongo document and apply patch. Kind of slow, though.
Same. I miss the old times when people tried naming their projects sensibly. I mean, we're constantly telling ourselves how variable and function names should speak for themselves, but then we name our projects using random, completely non-descript names. It's a annoying.
To the point about temperature-dependent efficiencies, I've searched a bit and found this: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Engin-Gedik/publication... (PDF warning)

They go as low as 10°C as the ambient temperature, and you can see that in the range they're testing, operation at lower temperature is always more efficient than at higher temperatures.

> we don't even build parks in areas that go above 20-25 degrees if there are no outside incentives

I'm not sure this is actually true.

Here in Germany, we have a lot of cloud cover, and PV parks still make sense economically. I'm pretty sure places with lower cloud coverage, lower land prices but higher temperatures still make PV parks viable.

Keep in mind the power behind those reasonings is not really arithmetics itself. Its modelling with proportions, one of the most basic abstract model template we can use. Those are just approximations to get a sense of the scale of the problems and units we’re talking about, giving us a rough idea if we should look into this more or abandon the idea, and we should add to those models one essential feature to be helpful : margins of errors.

It's a complicated mess.

Reason being: I, too, am physically capable of reproducing copyrighted works verbatim when correctly prompted. Or at least, can do so as well as current GenAI can in certain specific cases, and know how to use a photocopier in others.

Is the copyright violation the user asking for this, or is it the model having the capability?

If it's the mere capability, the inventors of copy-paste and the camera and voice recorder apps have a problem, along with all search engines that ever index pirated material.

If it's the users, given that copyright databases are much too large for any human to actually know exhaustively what is and isn't in them, there's a real danger that normal people will accidentally do exactly this.
Tetris has been proven useful against PTSD's.

That is up to Canadians to decide. A common effect is decreasing purchasing power of currency, which typically causes political turmoil because young workers want to be able to buy things they want if they are going to be incentivized to work.

Typically, this causes asset price inflation, where the government tries to keep the most active voters (old people) happy, and to do that, they try to keep old people’s purchasing power from diminishing too much. And since older people have more assets than younger people, it effectively results in a transfer of the fruits of the country’s productivity from young to old.

I don’t know how accurate a picture the media and the rhetoric on the internet paints, but this seems to be a growing issue in Canada, at least from changes in their real estate prices relative to income.

At the end of the day, people who don’t work need people who work. But people who work don’t need people who don’t work. Presumably, if people who work never received anything in exchange, then they would not be incentivized to works.

And so the implied contract is people work now and give to people who don’t work, and in exchange, in the future, they will be the people who don’t work and receive from people who work.

But if there will be fewer people who work in the future, and not sufficient automation, and people who work now see perhaps their parents getting less than they expect, and they see TFR trends, and put two and two together and realize they are not going to get what they put in, then they may choose to opt out of this contract.

For me, a mixed crossword between all games doesn't make sense. You could give me 20 crosswords with Dota stuff in it and I would be able to solve 0, not even with hints it would be doable.
