"Fleet response and the Waymo Driver primarily communicate through questions and answers. For example, suppose a Waymo AV approaches a construction site with an atypical cone configuration indicating a lane shift or close. In that case, the Waymo Driver might contact a fleet response agent to confirm which lane the cones intend to close."
I prefer the flexibility of a laptop, but sometimes need more compute. When I do need more compute, I use a server and either SSH onto it, or use a VM with the SPICE protocol to create a very useable VDI experience. I can use it from anywhere via Tailscale.

...but you can't run it locally. Not unless you're sitting on some monster metal. It's tiresome when people compare enormous cloud models to tiny little things. They're completely different.
I think this is a prime example of why the cloud won.

You don’t need wizards in your team anymore.

Something seems off in the instance? Just nuke it and spin up a new one. Let the system debugging for the Amazon folks.
your example is less readable for me. not by a lot, but still.

the other example has the commands, in caps, on the left and the values on the right, in lowercase. your example removes one of those aspects and makes everything lowercase. my brain can ignore all-caps stuff, as these are just commands and the things i actually care about mostly are the values.

but i mean, in the end, it's just preferences. if you write SQL-queries, #1 is that you understand them well :)
AMD had a similar problem which was caused by some motherboards pushing the SoC voltage too high (because it provides better overclocking). If you want to be careful (and it looks like you are), stay away from the latest hardware and avoid overclocking (or learn the theory and configure everything yourself -- if you do any automatic overclocking, voltages set by most motherboards are still higher than what I'm personally comfortable with; usually you can push them way down without affecting stability, but it takes hours of trial and error).

They did. But the local political dysfunction meant they ended up making Elon Musk the richest man in the world and he's now trying to take over the government in cahoots with someone who is fighting a culture war against EVs, while only getting to 10% EV sales.

China spent similar amounts and has a vibrant, world leading EV marketplace, supplied by their vibrant, world leading battery industry, and 50% EV penetration domestically and export plans that terrify the countries that chose not to follow this path.
Fuzzing is ubiquitous in the binary security community. However, because of Fuzz Blockers, there are numerous bugs that remain undiscovered. Robust Fuzzing is a technique that automatically applies binary patching to remove the roadblocks and enable the fuzzer to uncover future vulnerabilities.
VW cleaned up their image. Now they have a different problem - China is no longer buying and their current offerings are not as interesting to consumers everywhere else.
Because I wasn't aware of such decisions being made (my fault, of course).
Yeah. Process leadership was always Intel’s secret sauce. They could put out mediocre designs tied to the x86 albatross as long as they were consistently ahead of everyone else on process.

When that stopped, they were left with mediocre designs and the albatross, but several process nodes behind others on TSMC. The hidden handicaps became apparent and made the problem worse.

> stripping vegetations off mountainsides and farmlands to install mega-solars

I'm really curious: who is proposing to do that? Ok, there are some solar projects that are installed in fields where you could construe that they could be otherwise used for food production, but guess what? They can still be used for food production - as pastures (https://ruralsolarstories.org/farm-friendly/solar-pastures).
This is called Goodhart's law, who said: "Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes."

But in modern usage it is often rephrased to: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"

>It was not an accident that software did well in the most hippy region in the US, San Francisco. On the contrary, hardware development, due to much more constraints from the laws of physics and economics, has been done well in Japan et al as careful top-down planning is the edge, not individual-level agility.

So, Japan could be doing software like many think it should be done: as an well designed engineering practice.
I visited London this weekend and found even many underground _stations_ were without mobile service, 15 years after I got used to having spotless end-to-end mobile coverage even in deepest tunnels. I don't know why the London Underground lags that of other cities?

Knowing the next station is usually a solved problem that doesn't need a smartphone, because that's displayed in the train itself and called out on speakers. But once you are on the platform and you need to ask the route planner what the fastest route is to a specific station (It could be walking to the surface and taking a bus, so it's not as simple as looking at the subway map) - then you are out of luck if platforms don't have 4/5G coverage!

I'm not the author, but thank you for sharing that this article is not landing clearly. I write pieces like this occasionally and your comment made me realize how easy it is to miss the point.

Here's how I would put it, looking at it from your perspective:

You are hired to do some work. Often, you know what needs to be done. Sometimes, your boss needs you to do something else. He needs to delegate that something to you.

When he delegates, it means he tells you to do it and explains what to do. You need to be clear what he wants done, when he wants it done, and how he wants it done.

To explain "how", he needs to tell you what he expects to use to get the job done. If there are limits, he needs to tell you what they are. He should not provide every details - that is micromanagement. He should think about what might not be obvious to you, and provide just those details. This is hard and bosses get this wrong a lot of time. It's also hard from your side, as it takes effort to really deeply understand what they want from you.

From your side, the most important thing is to listen, try to understand what he wants, and ask questions if something is unclear.

Example: build an integration with XYZ API. Don't use the REST library we've used so far, as we will be deprecating it in the near future. Find another library, but don't spend more than a day researching it, as the decision is not THAT important. You get to decide which library to use, but let me know, so that I have a chance to review it and comment in case it does not meet some of my requirements. If you don't hear from me, assume everything is OK. We need the integration to be ready for beta testing in 2 weeks. The functional specifications are in Jira, and XYZ Corp. has great documentation. Also, Bob Franklin from XYZ is really helpful in case the docs are missing something.

You responsibility is to see if this makes sense and gives you everything you need to get started. If any of this is unclear, contradictory, or weird, ask without delay.

This is hard. If you wait until you start to carefully read through what he delegated, and you have questions or concerns, it will delay the project. You can't start until those are cleared up. That is why it's super important to try to understand the instructions and think whether everything is clear as soon as possible.
Also, it doesn't "stretch" my time off from 25 to 49 days: 6 are national holidays that fall on a weekday, so I would be off on those anyway. So the calculation is wrong.
>Take a look a the average Japanese city with its ugly buildings, chaotic street layout, and insane cabling. Or the average office or shop, with a mess of boxes and piles of documents everywhere.

They are perfectionist, just not anal about it. Their perfectionism is not about tidy small shops.

And compared to the average US city, the average Japanese city is a masterpiece, including the modern buildings and streets.
Sorry, but again this is an abuse of the word upgradeable.

You could do the same with many other laptops and even some phones out there - buy from a 3rd party who has resoldered the corresponding parts. The replaceable modules brought you nothing.

Even the economic motive you mention is actually just because Apple overcharges for storage, and has nothing to do with the replaceable modules. As long as there is no cheap 3rd party source of these, a replacement module ecosystem makes no economic sense (someone will always have to bring in his device for resoldering, or you lose the price of one good working base model).
> 2 weeks off at the end of March into April on the easter holiday (because of the friday and monday holiday)... who is honestly doing that?

It's like peak cross country season?! Still loads of snow, but nice weather. I skied in shorts and a tshirt for days this easter!

You know you don't have to do as the tool says? It just highlights one of many variables you can use when deciding when to take your time off. If you have other needs (as your weather thingy, or spontaneity, or when kids are off school), you are of course free to take that into account.
We (engineers specially) have been automating things ever since. Why/when should it ever stop?
sabi-sabi is more of a niche practice in Japan, that's overplayed by westerners for western audiences.

More like finding a handful of people in the whole of US history making paintings by sticking pasta onto a canvas, and presenting it as some huge cultural thing.
Consistently with my point above, during these times I suggest to pick your sources according to the apparent quality of the writer - not stuck in the idea of editorial boards such as the historic one from The Economist.

Today the better technique seems to be "I will give my time to that author".

You suggest buying 100 million metric ton of aluminium when the global annual production is 70 million. And magically you'll get it delivered as a pre-installed global power grid as opposed to ingots.

Just like when you go for a cup of coffee at a cafe and you only pay the commodity price of coffee beans, which at like $5 per kg and 20 grams of coffee per cup means a cup at starcucks is just 10cents. Right?
This is a great initiative, but one wonders to which degree this is mostly a marketing stunt, white-washing their own "fair source" efforts.

Sentry is a multi-billion company, and Open Source pays exactly none of their bills (though it may serve other purposes). This leads to pages such as [1] where they actively steer users away from self-hosting their "open source" (in name only) solution.

Much has been said about Sentry's switch to "Fair Source"[2], but for me personally, the ship of "open source in name only" sailed long before that with the ever-increasing complexity of managing your own setup.[3] It’s clear that the priority here has shifted to pushing users toward their hosted, paid plans. Business models beat licenses every time if you want to understand actual intentions.

Disclaimer: I am the solo-everything at a competitor, which is in fact _not_ Open Source.[4]

Hardware task switching was introduced on the 80286. And no modern OS - including Linux, except for the earliest versions - uses it, because the way it is implemented, the mechanism will do a lot of unnecessary duplicate work (preserving "garbage" register contents from just before the kernel is about to return to user mode, and will consequently have to restore them itself).

The only situation where it would be required to use this misfeature is for handling exceptions like stack overflow in the case that they can occur in kernel mode. A "Task State Segment" is really more like a pre-allocated stack frame anyway, the CPU puts active ones in a linked list and does not allow freely switching between them, only returning to the outer level.

x86-64 does not have hardware task switching anymore, instead it is now possible to switch to another stack on an exception or interrupt, which is all that the TSS was used for in practice anyway.
Do you have a source that can back this up? Otherwise this looks like linguistic determinism and Orientalism
> tax free weekend where sales tax (6.25%) is not applied

that's such a strange concept for me. i wonder what the historic reasoning there is for it, as it seems like one of those legacy things which were started to increase sales during difficult market times :D

> Also groceries never have a sales tax in Massachusetts

also interesting :) what i knew was that some or most states display the prices without tax, so you'll only know the total of your grocery trip at the checkout. never seen this here over the pond, prices always include taxes.

what's common is that different things are taxed differently. food and beverages have lower tax than non-essential things, except of course if the beverages contain alcohol, etc. yada yada blabla.
So why are you commenting in a thread about size?
I got a bit confused by the X3D CPUs as many places listed X3D is the equivalent to the largest i5. But on the flip side the latest X3D is a few years old so I didn't know why it's better than the more recent version of their non-X3D CPUs
You can reduce the number of days it places already, though. So if you assume you take 15 days in july just reduce the amount of days by 15. Don't get to visualize them, however, and its choices might overlap with yours, so not a perfect workaround.

I also would like the week to start on a monday, btw. Perhaps it could be tied to the country? When choosing norway, calender could shift to how it's displayed here.
Yes, I mean they have stated that this one is for micro apps rather than a professional app. So, there will be a sort of chaos with products like plugins and mini-games, etc. Let's see where AI is going to take us...
This is SO cool.

I am actually currently working on a project to record the sound of the London Underground passing under me.

We can very clearly hear the Northern Line under us. It's < 30 meters below us.

I have become obsessed with getting high-quality, low frequency recordings of it passing under us.

Why? I don't know. I just can't take my mind off it.

For example, there are two tunnels (north and south bound). By correlating it with actual TfL data, can I figure out the sound signature of each?

More intriguingly, I know that there are maintenance vehicles that operate under us in off hours. Can I "catch" them?

I'm not sure what else I might do with this project, but the idea of capturing the sound of this semi-ephemeral creature that operates below me has captivated me.
I was making fun of mschuster91, who is a very good person. I hope they would at some point start to ask themselves the right questions.
It's just yet another piece of debt that gets prioritized against other pieces of debt. As long as the cost of this debt is purely fiscal, it's easy enough to position in the debt backlog. Maybe a future piece of debt will increase the cost of this. Maybe paying off another piece of debt will also pay off some of this. The tech debt payoff prioritization process will get to it when it gets to it.
Why not? It's a monthly survey, it should be impeccably up to date with what people are using.

It's also not accounting for things like the absolute flood of N100 mini pcs (since they're typically not gaming rigs) that sell for barely anything compared to the cheapest AMD offer. Granted they also suck, but Intel seems to have really invested themselves into the Chinese style quantity over quality, selling lots and lots of cheap crap which will influence any sort of percentage survey massively.
It’s likely this comment killed a really cool project.
There's still quite a gap between "suspicious" and "probable cause". Just having a large amount of cash isn't by itself illegal. You could easily have enough cash to live on for quite a while having inherited it or earned it decades ago, etc.

The hatred towards intels 28x cpus from reviewers seems overblown to me. They are still pretty good chips that beat AMDs single chiplet offerings in cinebench, with decent efficiency. They're kind of just 2nd best at everything, whether thats multicore, single core, efficiency, or gaming... which to me doesn't seem bad, taken as a whole.
Agree, this can be a major issue. GitHub's intention is to have more repos and this will fulfill its purpose with useless products. I hope they give it a second thought.

Conversational AI for OpenAPI Docs
We've been experimenting with LLM based code generation and discovered that clean, well-structured OpenAPI specs are crucial for good results. For now, Swaggerboy is a "Conversational AI powered OpenAPI Spec Builder"

Try it: https://demo.swaggerboy.dev/
GitHub: https://github.com/LLM-Studios/swaggerboy

While currently focused on spec creation, we're working toward a broader vision: making API development accessible to non-technical users through a fully managed backend-as-a-service platform. Basically, we want to make it easy to build and deploy APIs using natural language.

Would love feedback from the HN community, especially from those working with LLMs for code generation or building developer tools.
Also Germans in general are more into alternatives like Firefox, Linux, etcetera as they have a healthy distrust to Big Tech. Even though if AMD is quite big itself it was more liked by a lot of enthousiasts there even when their performance was seriously lagging.

SASE: Society of Automation Software Engineers
The current design uses several CPLD for address decoding instead of original parts.

An FPGA is planned for the remaining AT controllers, which are now hard to source:

- the 2x 8237 DMA controller

- the 2x 8259 Interrupt controller

- the 8254 System timer

This will allow anyone to build a modern AT, like this was done for the XT.
