> If you detect a non-bot user, it's currently just setting the seed/shift to 0, and serves the real plaintext, but that's optional as the user doesn't notice a difference (only maybe in the copy/paste function).

You would probably have to keep that for accessibility purposes. Though then however you are detecting bot/not might be easily tricked by a good bot - the CAPCH arms race is currently at a point where such things exclude more human requests than automated ones…

Pneumatic looks cool but you are clearly missing the necessary app integrations to be competitive. If you want to integrate 2200+ applications in your product (with 10k+ triggers and actions) instead of sending all your customers to competitive products like Zapier and Make.com, you should explore Pipedream Connect - https://pipedream.com/connect.
I don't think so.

Biggest non-modern tell for me -- the keyboard is at the bottom of the case and there's no wrist rest. That shift was about as drastic as the hw keyboard -> blank glass of the iphone transition: Pre powerbook, keyboards were at the bottom of the system. There were weird side mount trackballs, or trackpoints. Post powerbook 100/140/170 -- trackball in the bottom center, keyboard above that.

Trackpads came later, but didn't really affect the overall layout.
How red tape holds back nuclear power in Britain
Foursquare City Guide Sunset December 15, 2024
My understanding is that it's the other way around.

- Qualcom has a "Technology license". Because ARM design the entire chip under that license, ARM charge a premium royalty.

- Nuvia had an "Architectural licence" (the more basic licence). Nuvia then had to design the chip around that foundation architecture (i.e. Nuvia did more work). The architectural license has a lower royalty.

Qualcom decided they were using Nuvia chips, and therefore should pay Nuvia's lower royalty rate.

ARM decided that Nuvia's chips were more or less ARM technology chips, or possibly that Nuvia's license couldn't be transferred, and therefore the higher royalty rate applied.

Not quite. The person who would do the soldering would not necessarily be the end consumer. They would do it as part of a network of assemblers, for a fee or pro-bono as a community service. I wrote about this in more detail on the project page [1].

If you got "needs improvement" on your performance review and missed your target bonus, but the company's stock went up 30% meaning your total compensation still increased, what would you expect? Would you consider that to be a fair punishment?

The standard Nadella is setting is that cash bonuses needs to be determined by cybersecurity impact, and that expectation needs to be in every part of the company. So he cut his (non-discretionary) cash bonus by 50%.

He could've cut his stock package as well, but you're not going to work at a company where meteoric increases in the stock price can be clawed back if your performance was bad. People would freak out and ask if their stock would be cut if a cybersecurity incident occurred.

Imagine, there are people who don't care that much besides their family/friends circle. Maybe some newspaper/-site from time to time, but why cope with all the other stuff too all the time? Life goes on too if one doesn't know abou the latest stuff.

Imagine there were hundreds or thousands of year of humanity you didn't know how your neighbour is except you walked there.

At least that's fine for me. I don't miss social media (besides HN), and I don't miss anything.
That's true enough, but you can refuse to license them for their next product, which is (or should be) incentive enough. Selling silicon IP blocks is a very mature industry, ARM is one of many such companies, and no one else is out there throwing doomsday bombs like this. Really, this is extremely weird.
Documentaries are a style of presentation that contain a directed, (usually) information-dense slice of a specific topic. It's an easy way to immediately engage in a topic in a manner that can present layman consumable information and establish context on potentially complicated subjects. It's one of many sources of information that should be supplemented with research based fact checking and information gathering.

There was no effort to dissuade further research yourself or to not engage with other mediums. I also don't believe they were supposing your only source of information should come from their casual suggestion. "I strongly suggest" you go ahead and link the research papers you've personally vetted like the poster above you trying to contribute to the discussion did that covers these topics indepth if you feel passionate about the lacking information.
It's the easiest way to display complex graphics on the Kindle which take over the entire screen. Yes, I could use HTML and the browser, but there's a header and footer that I don't want to see (plus I'm not convinced the Kindle would stay awake). I could have sent text, but the renderer available at the CLI is extremely limited. I'm not sure if I could have tapped into a mobi/pdf renderer to make it show up similarly to an e-book, but I'm doubtful if I could have made a mobi file show up in landscape like this. I was also building on several other tutorials that use PNG files, so it just made sense to do this.
I saw those demoed yesterday. The model was asked to create a cool visualization. It ultimately tried to install steamlit and go its page, only to find its own Claude software running streamlit, so as part of debugging it killed itself. Not ready to let that go wild on my own computer!

I'd like to read that book too... but "how to do a certain kind of difficult new thing" in their case involved more than solid execution. It also needed an owner/investor with extremely deep pockets and technical capabilities that vastly accelerated their work, who was willing to throw huge amounts of money at the problem for years, along with favorable economic conditions (zero-percent interest rates) for long periods of time, at the right period of time. I give Waymo tons of credit for their work here, but the conditions that enabled it aren't easily repeatable IMO.
Adopting what static analyzers do is a no-go, as they rely on non-local reasoning, even across translation units for lifetime and aliasing analysis. Their output highly depend on what they can see, and they generally can't see the source code for the whole program. I also doubt that they promise any kind of stability in their output across versions.

This is a not a jab against static analyzers, by all means use them, but I don't think they are a good fit as part of the language.
Do they expect this to be a $1 trillion company, even then the return would be a modest 20x.

The ideal end game for self-driving taxis is replacing personally-owned cars. Instead of anyone having a car of their own they'd just order one for any journey they make. If ordering a taxi is easier and cheaper than owning a car, and potentially faster and safer because it's self-driving, it's a no brainer for anyone who sees a car as a cost rather than a recreational vehicle.

If they manage to do that then Waymo will be significantly more valuable than a trillion dollars.
Tesla is taking a minimalist approach to every important factor: Specialized vs unmodified production cars; back seat in-vehicle UI + app vs app-only for sitting in back; multiple sensor types vs camera-only; intensive mapping of a service area vs crowdsourced; only Waymo-owned vehicles vs private cars seconded to the service.

The biggest small detail is that Waymo's expansion is gated on achieving performance goals like very little need for remote supervision because Google won't hire a building full of remote monitors. Tesla claims this will be possible "by next year."
This kind of stuff is an existential threat to ad-based business models and upselling. If users no longer browse the web themselves, you can't show them ads. It's a monumental, Earth-shattering problem for behemoth like Google but also normal websites. Lots of websites (such as booking.com) rely on shady practices to mislead users and upsell them etc. If you have a dispassionate, smart computer agent doing the transaction, it will only buy what's needed to accomplish the task.

There will be enormous push towards steering these software agents towards similarly shady practices instead of making them act in the true interest of the user. The ads will be built into the weights of the model or something.

They aren't. The car asks the remote operator about its options, the operator suggests an option, the car proceeds. Nobody is driving in realtime over LTE, that would be insane.

If we think it’s a symbolic gesture, which it may well be, it is still a gesture that most CEOs would not have made. Unlike most here, I don’t think with this he’s saying please punish me for wrongdoing, but more I take responsibility for this failure (which could have happened many levels below him) and will take the loss personally.

Sounds like HN folks would love for Nadella to completely reduce his salary compared to last year. I don’t know that I agree. I’d say, let’s see you do it.

Yes, I assume they're asking about the operating margin. That's the number everybody cares about. If it's positive, then Waymo can theoretically become revenue positive by adding more cars and regions to their fleet.

John Hawks, a paleoanthropologist, regularly makes the point [0] that human evolution has accelerated enormously in the last 50k years.

Lactase metabolism is new, in the last 19k years. European skin colours and blue eyes appear to be very recent too, maybe 3.5k years.

Almost certainly there are all kinds of super interesting human evolutionary changes that are occurring now, with our huge population that won’t be visible for thousands of years…

I have never soldered intentionally. I did once manage to weld a motherboard to its chassis through improper grounding... lots of smoke and terrified screams later, I decided to go into software instead...

As a child of the 90s, I think I just barely missed that awesome era of RadioShaq catalogs and fun DIY electronics kits that I only read about online, yet was born before things like SnapCircuits were invented to reinvigorate that niche. Caught in that dry spell of the 90s/early 2000s, when hardware seemed pretty stagnant while the Web was just getting started.

By the time hardware was cool again, I was too old/busy to seriously look into it. Arduinos, robots, etc. always seemed kinda cool to me, but it seemed like there was no point in learning that when anything I wanted to make could already be bought from China for $5...

If I had more time or money, it would definitely be a cool hobby to pick up. But I don't :)
Are you discussing the privacy implications? It looks like your only comment is this asinine middlebrow dismissal. Meanwhile, I've given actionable advice.
People will tell you they're fundamentally different, but they are in fact the same. First, there are two different, independent aspects: Perception and Action. Seeing the world, vs taking action in that world.

For perception Waymo uses more sensors than Tesla. It uses lidar to construct a 3D scene of what the car is seeing, while Tesla uses SLAM-like techniques with their cameras. What people are missing is that these are only a small part of the perception problem - lidar returns a monochromatic 3D scene so it cannot see labels, markings, read signs, lights etc. LIDAR simply doesn't carry the necessary information needed to navigate the world, thus it is a secondary source of info. Cameras in motion do carry all the information needed, so the big difference between them is only one part of the overall perception stack.

Once you have constructed a labeled, accurate 3D scene (whether by lidar or SLAM), "action" is the same and there is no difference between Tesla and Waymo here. They both have to learn how to drive safely using the same information, so it's going to be a lot like LLMs where there's difference between LLAMA/Claude/GPT, but they're also all kinda the same thing.
I made a (free and ad free) app for BART that tells you if you need to run to catch your train or not. Instantly upon opening the app, without needing to tap anything, it automatically figures out which train you want and helps you hurry, just a little bit, to make the next one rather than wait.

Indexing is IO-heavy and does slow things down, that's the nature of it (and Windows is dramatically bad at that), but they have improved quite substantially in this department recently: whole indexes of large libraries/runtimes can be fetched from the internet so your computer won't be the billionth device to re-index the whole JVM, the IDEs are starting faster, and more features are being made available while indexing in progress (giving less of an impression that "nothing works" when opening a project).

Neither of them are “full AI/ML”, they’re both traditional robotics systems with ML used for detection/prediction/planning at certain steps. Elon will sometimes say something about moving to a “new ML stack”, but Tesla reverse engineers regularly look inside of what’s running in the cars and that’s not the case at all.

Contrary to what other people in this thread are saying, the remote support isn’t remote direct driving of the car - essentially what will happen is that if the car finds itself in a situation where it’s unsure of how to proceed and it’s safe to stop, it will pause for a few seconds and wait for a remote operator to clarify a situation for it.

A good example might be road construction - if the car detects new road construction work that doesn’t match its map of the area, and its onboard systems determine that it’s not sure how to proceed through the construction with confidence, it will send what it thinks the top five likeliest ways to proceed to a remote operator. The operator then selects the proper path (or says that none of them are proper). The car will then follow the path presented by the operator, but actual driving behavior /collision detection / pathfinding is still determined locally. Think of it like ordering a unit around in StarCraft.
You definitely can't have all of "Non-type template parameters" (the C++ equivalent of const generics) in Rust because some of it is unsound. You can certainly have more than you get today, it's much less frantically demanded but I should like to be able to have an enum of Hats and then make Goose<Hat::TopHat> Goose<Hats::Beret> Goose<Hats::Fedora> and so on, which is sound but cannot exist today.

For function overloading this serves two purposes in C++ and I think Rust chooses a better option for both:

First, when there are similar features with different parameters, overloading lets you pretend the feature set was smaller but making them a single function. So e.g. C++ offers a single sort function but Rust distinguishes sort, sort_by and sort_by_key

Obviously all three have the same underlying implementation, but I feel the distinct names helps us understand when reading code what's important. If they're all named sort you may not notice that one of these calls is actually quite different.

Secondly, this provides a type of polymorphism, "Ad hoc polymorphism". For example if we ask whether name.contains('A') in C++ the contains function is overloaded to accept both char (a single byte 'A' the number 65) and several ways to represent strings in C++

In Rust name.contains('A') still works, but for a different reason 'A' is still a char, this time that's a Unicode Scalar Value, but the reason it works here is that char implements the Pattern trait, which is a trait for things which can be matched against part of a string. So name.contains(char::is_uppercase) works, name.contains(|ch| { /* arbitrary predicate for the character */ }) works, name.contains("Alex") works, and a third party crate could have it work for regular expressions or anything else.

I believe this more extensible alternative is strictly superior while also granting improved semantic value.
Waymo shared that their disengagement rate is 17k miles per disengagement meaning they are driven by human test drivers once per 17k miles, across all causes. It doesn't include assists by humans because that's not driving: it's merely remote humans answering a question about where to drive in case of a novel obstacle on the road. You'd be nuts to think remote humans actually drive: the internet infrastructure is not designed for guaranteed low latency.

I also wouldn't trust NYT reporting on anything related to Big Tech: they have a well-documented pattern of anti-big-tech biased reporting.
It's a fallacy to really compare them directly. Waymo has active cars in service that are available to the general public. Tesla right now just has promises that they have been unable to deliver on for almost a decade now, as their approach is pretty radical.
>Modern two-engine planes like the 787 have an auxiliary power unit (APU)

Where "modern" here includes jet airliners made in the 70s yes.

>It is also needed to start the main engines

The engines need an air source, and the APU can be an air source, but at one point at least, big airlines preferred using ground hookup provided air sources for starting, in order to save gas. Next time you fly, look at the jetway. There will be a large yellow duct system underneath it that can be hooked up to the plane to provide pneumatic pressure and air conditioning air without starting the APU. There are similar hookups for electrical power so that a plane won't drain its battery during routine turnover operations.

The bottom price flights I've taken recently don't seem to hook either up though, preferring instead to start the APU during taxi to the gate while shutting down one engine, shut down the other engine once they are at the gate, and reverse the process to taxi back out to the runway. The turnaround time is so short, and the required work to clean and restock the cabin so little, I bet they just don't pay for ground hookups.
That makes sense. Good interpretation!

Not everything is sweetness and light in the era of mature nanotechnology. Widespread intelligence amplification doesn't lead to widespread rational behavior. New religions and mystery cults explode across the planet; much of the Net is unusable, flattened by successive semiotic jihads. India and Pakistan have held their long-awaited nuclear war: external intervention by US and EU nanosats prevented most of the IRBMs from getting through, but the subsequent spate of network raids and Basilisk attacks cause havoc. Luckily, infowar turns out to be more survivable than nuclear war – especially once it is discovered that a simple anti-aliasing filter stops nine out of ten neural-wetware-crashing Langford fractals from causing anything worse than a mild headache.
This marketing is dumb, and if Apple believes that not even they themselves can get access to the information running on the platform, then they could put their money where their mouth is. Increase the max bounty reward from $50 000 to $50 000 000 000 with no other rules than if you can get access to users' request data without having the phone it's sent from, then you get the money, and Apple will not legally pursue the attacker.

Is it as secure as they say? Then it doesn't matter if all the money Apple has is the reward, because nobody can get it. A max bounty of $50 000 for "Accidental or unexpected data disclosure due to deployment or configuration issue" is silly low.
