Why is the question about clothes? Why not ask why ghosts usually appear wearing skin? Or flesh? I guess these days in common depictions, clothes > skeleton > peeled > nude in terms of frequency. And what about age, or state of injury? It seems more commonly reported that ghosts do not exhibit their fatal injuries, though again it "happens". Or the big question: why should anything be visible at all?

If a ghost is meant to be associated with a spirit or soul, there's no particular reason for them to have any form or be visible at all. But as an exercise in worldbuilding, they can be, and their visual appearance can give all kinds of fascinating clues about their previous existence or the viewers'. I'd rather speculate about that.
Erlang's (Elixirs) error management approach is actually "Let it crash"

This is based on the acknowledgment that if you have a large number of longer running processes at some point something will crash anyway, so you may quite as well be good at managing crashes ;-)

Old versions of vaultwarden broke recently (for just about everyone?) due to incompatible changes on the iOS client.

Breakage is not ideal, but here's how they handled the second, more subtle compatibility break:

https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/5069

I haven't worked up the courage / time to back up my database and upgrade the docker container; will probably get to it this weekend. However, I can't imagine using bitwarden with the official server (too bloated to be trustworthy), or with their cloud thing. I got burnt by lastpass. I'm not putting my passwords in a giant high-value target again.
Hey I love the syncing
The Robotaxi is a PR stunt which doesn't look remotely close to be a threat to Waymo right now.
Vaultwarden is great! I've been running it for years (since it was bitwarden-rs) on a free-tier GCP VM. I use a cronjob to back up the DB to Backblaze B2 with rclone.
Has anyone litigated whether a war needs to be declared to be a war? Not treating war as a technicality is one reason judges exist.

The income is a total joke compared to what those people would be able to make on any private sector job ladder. Anyone who can be a tenured research physicist could easily make seven figures (likely more) in finance.
The relationship with Japanese and ghosts are on another level. Here in Europe I know nobody who believes in ghosts, but I heard so many ordinary Japanese people telling ghost stories, from scary to quite amusing ones (how about having a ghost as a roommate:) ). That may explain why they are masters in horror movies. I was into Japanese horror until I became afraid to go upstairs in my own house without switching on a light, just like a little child. So maybe it is the other way around: they believe in ghosts because the movies are so good.
There is shopping in the afterlife, duh.
Love this concept :)
This is the ultimate time saver feature when sharing. I built a web layer that does this, but goes further with multiple highlights, navigation, and rich inline communication with humans and AI, which is integrated with a web app to save, organize, and share with humans and AI. It’s https://www.kontxt.io
I wonder what evolutionary pressures are working on modern humans right now and how they will shape the future?
> The .bat build (Windows) will not change via this port. Only Unix-like environments will potentially be affected.

It turns out that that's not _entirely_ true now: Richard got jimsh working on Windows, which means that nmake-driven Windows builds can now build SQLite (sans the testing suite) without requiring an extra installation of TCL.
> But most developers refuse to write anything more than C++98.

I think the bigger mistake is equating memory safety with C++11 smart pointers. They buy you a little, but not the whole buffet. There are a lot of C++ developers that think memory safety is a skill issue and if you just use "best practices with C++11 or higher" then you get it - when evidence proves to the contrary.
That's fair and I don't think I have a good counter to this, it would be very easy for such a UI QA product to become just another "security vulnerability scanner" that cuts low severity tickets that nobody looks at.
I think that people are using "ownership" to mean "who is in charge". It's an expression of autonomy. I "own" my body in exactly the same way as I "own" myself because my body is one of the things that constitutes my being. If I don't own my very being, then I have no actual autonomy.

The way things are going it looks like tokens/s is going to play a big role. O1 preview devours tokens and now Anthropic computer use is devouring them too. Video generation is extremely token heavy too.

It sort of is starting to look like you can linearly boost utility by exponentially scaling token usage per query. If so we might see companies slowing on scaling parameters and instead focusing on scaling token usage.
Robotaxi hasn't deployed anywhere. There are lots of other startups ahead of them in terms of progress.

Waymo isn't afraid of a threat. Waymo is dominating the market they created. This is just another chess play to lock up the TAM.
On an historical note, ever since dice and coins have been used by humans (thousands of years), there have been efforts to "automate" their tossing in an effort to make the toss or roll fair (unbiased). See, for example, the Vettweiss-Froitzheim Dice Tower, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vettweiss-Froitzheim_Dice_Towe...

The reason is simple. Humans are terrible sources of randomness. Especially true if money hangs on the outcome!

There are two principal components for bias of a coin or die toss/roll: 1) the coin or die itself (manufacturing defects, etc.), which if it exists is typically minuscule, and 2) the act of tossing or rolling by a human (a twist of the wrist, or a flick of the fingers), whose bias is enormous and which, as I say, is particularly pronounced if money hangs on the outcome.

The Satoshi9000 solves problem 2, the human element, by removing the human from the process altogether. Other than to press the "run" button.
> If I have access to all this wonderful automation tech

But "you" don't, that is precisely the point. The speed at which the gap between rich and poor grows keeps increasing, after all -- the rest is commentary --, and people who right now send people to die and murder in wars for oil, and what not not, will not suddenly start sharing when they fully captured all means of production for good. That's like hoping the person who keeps stealing your shit every chance he has, leaving you in sickness or death without a thought will give you a billion dollars once all the locks on your house have rusted off completely and you no longer have means to call the police.
It's crazy that when I walk to the taco stand down the street in my sleepy little neighborhood I'll see waymos just hanging out waiting for a ride, and if I wanted I could just hop in one and be robot chauffeured around the city.

It's funny how the future arrives and intermingles with the present. Stuff I could only dream of as a kid, things that seemed impossibly far off are here right now.

I'll probably have a Rosie in my house before I die and that's pretty incredible.
The airline booking + awards redemption use case is a mostly solved problem. Harcore milage redemption enthusiasts use paid tools like ExpertFlyer that present a UI and API for peeking into airline reservation backends. It has a steep learning curve, for sure.

ThePointsGuy blog tried to implement something that directly tied into airline accounts to track milage/points and redemption options, but I believe they got slapped down by several airlines for unauthorized scraping. Airlines do NOT like third parties having access to frequent flier accounts.
The point is the car shouldn't have a touchscreen. It should have a spot meant to let you bring a phone or tablet.

I'm curious how much control is offered on these Android Auto systems. Ideally in my mind, there would be protocols for controlling windows, sunroofs, seat controls, HVAC, interior lighting, windshield wipers, defog, maybe even running lights headlights cruise control & those closer to the driving experience aspects. The whole car experience should be BYOD.
I could not edit my comment in time, but I would also like to add that when it comes to family: they do use a DE, not the terminal or command line.
When a proc macro fails you get an error at the site where the macro is used, and a stack trace into the proc macro crate. You can even use tools to expand the proc macro to see what went wrong (although those aren't built in, yet).

Debugging a proc macro failure is miles and above easier than debugging template errors.
The contribution of animal fat to gunpowder (it is surprising that there is a connection!) is the nitrate content. Essentially the compost waste is turned into fertilizer, and from there to high explosives.

Nitrate is NO3. It is produced 100% from the air, by a process which is exothermic. So it’s (almost) free, at the margin, or would be if not for the need of pure input gasses.

A Haber-Bosch plant is a factory the size of a city that produces all the fertilizer or explosives you’d ever want, using nothing but air, water, and electricity as input.

We can confidently say that this particular shortage won’t be an issue anymore.
Yep, I look forward to reading good books about it in a decade or so. I think there are lots of lessons to be learned here for how to do a certain kind of difficult new thing.
Unclear. Things have definitely changed over the last 20 years. They used to have problems with scalpers monopolizing appointment tickets but I think they’ve fixed that with ID registration.
Ask HN: Are there any phising simulators for parents/elderly?
As parents age, it's important to keep them safe online. In industry we have a well-understood market space of simulated phising e-mails and training systems.
Are there any that aim specifically at parents or the aging? Perhaps they include content and scams that are more common for that age group?

Thank you!
Yes, that seems to be the larger challenge. The search tools I have used will work for a while until they don't. Real cat & mouse game.

Hence the "adaptive" part of my comment.

It really needs to be a client side agent.
I haven't done much research on it but I wonder about the effectiveness of play prediction markets (manifold for example) as opposed to actual money based ones.

I think a lot of smart people don't really care that much if the money is real or not. They will participate regardless because it's fun to watch the number grow, but on the other hand, making it be play money makes dumb money much more likely to happen.

Perhaps a good way to go around it is to provide the market as a play market but give financial incentives to good performers at the end of the week, month, etc.

But more importantly, Elon Musk ordered Starlink to be turned off during Ukraine offensive: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/07/elon-musk...
That was China’s thinking, but it turns out there is a limit, it’s just not a gradual slope downward but a huge crash.
average miles between intervention in similar driving scenarios would be a better metric. I’m struggling to understand how anyone thinks the robotaxi thing is competition though
Accessibility tools are I find are never as great as the source. Just because they are made for humans does not mean they are an improvement. I imagine at best a stopgap as image models improve.
If nothing else, it would have been nice to see Digital Research and Gary Kildall get the last laugh via Atari computers taking off.
Have you tried vaultwarden (formerly bitwarden-rs)?

It's trivial to self host. I've been running it in a GCP free tier VM for years.
I have never read the word gentrification in a positive light, only as the "displacement" meaning.
You are being disingenuous, "summon" could be considered as fully driverless, so there are a couple of miles. They are getting there for sure, just not at the similar level, which is expected because customers do not care about it that much.
Isn't Web Platform Incubator Community Group the group browsers makers formed because the W3C was being too slow and then largely overtook the W3C in terms of relevance?
Looks very nice. I wrote a similar tool to this back in the late 2000s in rails, and it was fundamental to our organization at the time. I've been looking for alternative at my new company. I'll definitely spend some time with your app.
I used to be of that mindset and no longer am. Hamas killed more people in a single day than the IRA killed in its entire existence. The Irish conflict which is more similar to the conflict Israel has in the west bank, is mostly a territorial conflict.

If it were true that violence breeds violence then Jews would have blown up post war Germany with suicide vests. It was still filled with Nazis and their collaborators.

Hamas is a different story, there's no amount of negotiations or compromise that will placate a fanatic. They will probably keep doing these things forever just like Isis didn't fully go away. But once the leadership got cut down Isis found it much harder to pull off the same level of terror.

I agree that this needs to be a dual motion. Young frustrated people are kindle for these organizations and this won't work without a peace process that would give hope to the people. That's why I don't have any faith in the current Israeli government. I hope it can be replaced so there would be a parallel process that would help rebuild and pave a way for peace again.
A better question would be, would the inhabitants at the time in question call themselves "Hellenes", "Graeci" (Greeks), or "Romans"?
Russians Helped Houthis Target International Shipping
Are the cars still teleoperated though?
I decided that vaultwarden should not have an internet accessible port. Are there any that meet those requirements and also let you (reliably!) edit/create passwords when offline?

Also, sometimes the bitwarden client decides to blow away my local copy of the password database. I'd like it to store it pesistently on all machines so I have to lose my phone, my laptop, my vaultwarden server and its two backups before I get locked out of everything.

Currently, the phone + laptop don't count as backup copies.

Phishing someone, even testing them requires legal agreement from them either directly or indirectly such as their employer at least here in the US. Check with a lawyer before even contemplating this further for your own protection. Your relationship to them will not shield you from legal fallout should your parents / siblings catch and report the incident not realizing it was you. Once the government machine starts moving towards something it does not stop even if your family members say oh, nevermind it was a family member.

Consider instead sending them links to examples of people getting popped by phishing sites and that show all the financial losses and headaches involved such as having all their data encrypted, accessed by attackers and then ransomed to get it back. Also consider helping them automate local backups of their data and teach them how to use something like KeypassXC and how to back it up with their data.
Smart pointers, containers... There are plenty of best practices that would give memory safety but nobody uses them (and not for cases where in rust you would have to use unsafe and thus there is good reason).

Which is why safety profiles are so interesting, they are something I should be able to turn on/off on a file by file basis and thus easily force the issue.

Of course profiles don't exist yet (and what is proposed is very different from what this article is arguing against) and so it remains to be seen if they will be adopted and if so how useful they will be.
How so? it’s just char*
Food rationing in the USA wasn’t to ensure a supply of calories to troops, but to ensure that industrially useful foods (e.g. high nitrate fats) got recycled into military use.

The development of synthetic gunpowder via the Haber-Bosch process, which fueled Germany through two world wars, but only became available to the allies after WW2, means this particular form of rationing is a thing of the past.
There is a reason treason is both prominent is US law: it's in the constitution, and it is hard to convict because the definition is very narrow and requires specific evidence. The men at the center of our revolution were labelled traitors by the British.

Though Elon is the kind of overachiever to possibly surmount a high bar, FARA might be a better bet.
haha, “combat-credible” forces were quite sufficient to terrorise and destroy Yugoslavia, when it was necessary. It was never close to zero, quite the opposite.
Anyone knows whether there are fundamental differences in the approach waymo took vs tesla, or are they following the same algorithms and techniques, with more polishing or experience in the "small details that makes all the difference" ?

Sounds like a job for Skynet. I can't imagine any other route.
That sounds more like a learned visual effect, something quite different from frying the brain of anyone with a basilisk.

Experiments with cats( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1111849/ ), and the outcome of patients with strabismus/lazy eye(effective blindness on defective eye), suggests that seeing (or not seeing) is a learned trait. Which is a few steps removed from being a backdoor to epileptic seizures or remote controlling heart activity
I think the reason you presented those questions side by side is that you are trolling. I won't be responding further.
As usual, popular science coverage always casts evolution as an active process, and sometimes even an intentional process. But anyone who took high school science would recognize the form of evolution in the article as just a result of some people dying early while everyone else went about their business.
They have had a century to institute actual democracy. If 70% supported deposing Putin instead of the war it would be difficult for him to retain power or he would have to change tack to retain control and keep his skin intact.

We didn't think of the poor Germans when we burned them alive as part of the effort to stop the Nazis and few argue that the Germans aren't collectively complicit save only for those who actively resisted.

I'm fully willing to hold blameless those who burned weapons and recruitment centers, spoke out publicly against the war within or after fleeing Russia, shot their commander, or surrendered to avoid an unjust fight.

I'm aware those are all extremely risky. I know exactly why someone would want to keep their heads down and I none the less blame them no less than I blame all the good Nazis who didn't believe in the ideology but kept their heads down while Jews burned in ovens and their neighbors rotted in battlefields and economic consequences are the least of what is just and fair.

A million people are dead including many of their own they are complicit.

Fundamentally different.

Waymo uses LiDAR and Tesla uses optical cameras. At least that is my understanding as a Joe Schmoe in the Midwest.

In the long run it'd be a "good thing" for the survivors, but in the short term people won't just sit there while their environment grow hostile to their presence, and they'll try to move to a more livable environment, but those will be guarded by people already living there, with bullets and fences...

All of that would make them more expensive. The digital tech is actually more affordable than the analog tech, and even a backup camera has a huge savings on mirrors and allows for more compact pillars. Old cars are cheaper because they are old, not because they are somehow cheaper to make.
the playful, graphical, musical expression would be more evident.

This was also the Mac's distinguishing feature at the time. It still is, so some extent. A lot of what drove mass adoption of home computers was that everyone wanted to bring the same computing environment, i.e. OS, they used at work or at school at home as well. This was DOS/Windows or System 7.
Fundamentally different - people will flock to LiDAR vs Vision when debating this, but the more fundamental difference is that Waymo uses HD mapping + remote support.
> non-techy

He studied mechanical engineering and worked in that field for a while. Do we agree that there is other technology than software?
to my knowledge, Tesla has gone the computer vision route where they are solely relying on cameras and algorithms, while Waymo went the way of more traditional LIDAR and other scanners to close achieve the safe full self drive.

The disadvantage of using the LIDAR and full sensor stack is largely price.
I knew enough when the article was explaining what a hemoglobin is.
Disingenuous would be trying to counter an argument that Tesla has no driverless operations on public roads with a suggestion that a parking lot party trick counts.
Neither of Gödel's two incompleteness theorems apply to quantum mechanics.

The two theorems apply to logical systems which prove facts about the natural numbers. While this is an incredibly broad class of things, it doesn't include physical theories like quantum mechanics.
Happy to see self driving companies raising rounds. Waymo is a leader, no doubt.
It's not difficult for you and me, sure. Try explaining you need to add a tilde, colon, the work text, equals sign then the text you want to the end of the URL.
iirc the big thing is they use LIDAR/RADAR in addition to camera sensors, Tesla is hellbent on only using cameras.

Also, Waymo works.
I believe these are impurities. This is talking about copper mines, producing the copper for the bronze casting.

So they are looking for the signature lead impurities in that copper. They use isotope analysis to find the lead impurities in the copper.
