I have English as my second language and can't think of a single reason why foreign words should frustrate me. On the contrary, I feel like I have an advantage; since English spelling/pronunciation is very messy, coming from a language with more regularity (and just being multilingual in general) probably just makes non-English words feel more natural to me.

One anecdotal example is the name of ‘GNU’. Somewhat often, I see English speakers on the internet mock the name for being difficult or odd to pronounce, and they usually end up explaining it by writing ‘guh-noo’, which somehow clarifies the matter. To me, ‘GNU’ reads naturally, I find the official explanation ‘like “grew” but with an “n”’ very clear, and I can’t fathom how ‘guh-noo’ can feel more clear or comfortable to anyone, because to me it just looks utterly ridiculous. So for deviating from English, I have a hard time seeing a background in other languages as anything but an advantage.
It is said that "90% of diagnosis is made on patient history". That's the whole problem for machines. We'll need machines able to converse and integrate patient appearance, behaviour etc. as well as humans, and reliably derive the appropriate conclusions from that before we get efficient medical AI. We'll see how fast progress can be made, but from what I see from chatGPT and the like, I seriously doubt the current AI wave will achieve acceptable results in real, everyday medicine. IMO, procedural medicine where lots of multimodal info is always available and the environment relatively fixed, such as (simple) surgery, is a better candidate for (reliable) automation in the near term. Something like prosthetic orthopedics, maybe ?
Is it just me or does the architecture diagram at the top of the page from the “DOD Document” leaves a lot to be desired? It almost gives you no information about the actual system at all
Seems like a bug if it only affects certain processor cores.
I think Datalog should be thought of as "in the logic programming family", so other data languages based on logic programming are likely to be similar.

And, of course the relational model of data is based on first-order logic, so one could say that SQL is a declarative logic programming language for data.
The marginal cost to add a viewer to broadcast sports is zero! That's what I am getting at. I know why someone would want this business, I just don't see what aspect of Netflix's existing business made them think they'd be good at it.
There seem to be two popular FUSE-like things for Windows: https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany and https://github.com/winfsp/winfsp.
Both implement a FUSE compatibility API in addition to their own API.

A 2016 comparison by the developer of WinFsp says WinFsp is several times faster in performance tests [1]. According to the readme for Donaky [2], since then Dokany got faster.

You can get that size of home for 2 million in Austin. The work to make it a LAN party home is not that expensive in comparison. The magic for him is that his dad is an architect. The home is very well designed and if you want that kind of design you’ll be paying more. Especially if you want the whole thing ready built.

I don’t quite get the cult status of SICP. I read it and it’s a fine beginner programming book, but nothing more.
My Chevrolet truck while having an actual door latch, doesn’t open the doors if they’re locked. You have to pull twice.

Is that an electronic counter (likely) or mechanical? If the latter, no big deal, if the former it’s even worse than the Tesla - at least my MY has a separate mechanical over ride.
I really wanted to like SICP and I probably would have if I read it 15 years ago. I started reading it last month and I found it to be too broad. It covers too much interesting mathematical principles and then jumps to the next one right when it starts to get interesting. In other words, it's too shallow.

It probably doesn't help that I've seen many courses/documents that are (in hindsight) derivatives from SICP, so I have the nagging thought "not this again" when a topic is introduced in SICP.
That’s not true. English is not a descendant of Latin, and the Latin alphabet was adopted from the outside, replacing Anglo-Saxon runes (also called the Futhorc script).

Just like kanji are not native to Japanese.
Last I checked, p2p solves a lot of the scaling issues.

Haven't Asian live sports been using p2p already two decades ago ?

Don't worry, I'm confident that with Enron Musk at the Department of Government Efficiency, if this is illegal now it won't be for much longer. People like Musk are just natural born problem solvers.
Basecamp is incredible for this.

Encourages grouping people by projects, with all communication on a project being public.

All activity on a project listed in one place.

Catching up with work takes minimal effort, including when someone goes on vacation or leaves the team. All it takes is skimming through the project.

Slack is built around chat with high has its limitations when applied to the context of a longer term project.
You know, I was really sad when the Shuttle retired in 2011 (which itself had numerous safety problems they probably had to fix). And this glowing idea SpaceX will aid us onwards into the future, blah blah.

I hope to god SpaceX doesn't act in a careless way like Tesla has been accused of doing

France is not doing nuclear well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)

> In December 2007, construction of the unit itself began. This was expected to last 54 months, with commissioning planned for 2012

However it is still under construction. Olkiluoto was also a major disaster for France, though it was eventually completed.

South Korea is probably the best example for nuclear construction success, but they have had to jail a few people for forging inspection results.

All in all, I think China has done fairly well with nuclear. Nuclear is a massive project that is insanely complex. It is not helped by trivializing the complexity, nor is it helped when people focus more on public opposition than the construction challenges, IMHO.
Thank you! I don’t know if iOS has enough of the same tools to make it compelling enough? Worth a look, though…

I did need a privacy policy in order to publish to the Play Store. It’s linked to in the data & safety section.
Cancel and rebook (another brand).
Extraordinary home! Great design. Especially love the cat stuff. I have to say, it’s wild that something “moderate” like an i5 / 4070 build is so powerful these days. It’s middle of the line in this era but it’s enough to play practically anything.

Also, this is a classic example of the power of leverage. $200k down on a $1m home, home goes to $2m gives you a $1m profit on ~$240k. Accidental, in this case, but nice.
So frustrating. Keep trying! You’ll find someone who values your background.

Private algotrading? Nice. May the odds be always at your favor!
Sorry, I meant Uno is either WinUI or Skia, they have both. Their Skia is same as Avalonia.
Actions speak. Also, think of the many hours, spent by many people, designing, testing, writing the manual, manufacturing, etc. Lots of people need to sleep at night.

On the other hand, many in our society devalue human life in the name of progress, anti-liberal politics, etc. If society shrugs at Covid deaths, war deaths, oppression, climate change death and costs - why worry about this?
I recently had a break-in to my Tesla. All captured on sentry mode. The thief got in with a subtle, barely visible stab of their wrist. The Tesla service person who replaced my window figured it was a spark plug. In the video they barely make contact with my window and the whole window shatters, completely.

So maybe at least storing spark plugs in each door bin.

(Btw none of the relevant police jurisdictions cared a whit about the break in. There were cameras where it occurred. I’m not sure what the societal discouragement is for car break-jns. Seems like the relevant authorities have basically granted permission to car hooliganism. They took the police report but explicitly acknowledged no one would look at it.)
To be fair we’ve been ruled by corporations for a while.

Yeah accurate, I'd just note Blender is still by no means a conventional app regarding its GUI today. E.g., there are a lot of two sequential letter key bindings, and a lot of other modes. (The other 3D packages I've used also have their own UI quirks, but there's still a difference worth noting.)
It would be nice if the app would allow us to save templates (no need to get fancy just via URL params e.g. for the above it would be something like:`?sections=title&Desc,installation,runLocally,Support,Authors,Ack,usageExamples`

That way we could just generate a 'template' that we can share/save etc

I'm not outsourcing my morality. There are plenty of actions that are legal that are immoral.

I don't think the government's job is to enforce morality. The government's job is to set up a framework for society to help people get along.

Why not do the first two steps, and stow the mat and access door on a shelf in your garage?
They've been doing live events since 2023. But it's hard to be prepared for something that's never been done by anyone before — a superbowl scale event, entirely viewed over the internet. The superbowl gets to offload to cable and over the air. Interestingly, I didn't have any problems with my stream. So it sounds like the bandwidth problems might be localized, perhaps by data center or ISP.
I don’t think that’s quite fair. That approach is exactly how we find planets. Here’s an unexpected variance in the motion of a planet or star. It could be explained by a planet over there. Oh look, there’s a planet over there.
I expected you to take this with a grain of salt but also to read between the lines: while some projects involve deliberate fraud, others may simply lack coherence and inadvertently follow the principles of the greater fool theory [1]. The use of ambiguous or indistinguishable language often blurs the distinction, making it harder to differentiate outright deception from an unsound business model.

You want less regulations, so deal with the consequences.
Thanks for that comment!

I agree, with some nuances. Premise 2 goes also without the word AI in the sentence.
Premise 3, there's no way to solve the fact that confident AI-or-not bla bla convinces people.

If one finds an article has bla bla vibes, be it from weirdly looking pics or from sounding overly optimistic, it is everyone's choice to skip (which makes sense!) or continue to look for any value or even entertainment. Do you stop watching a movie always when it doesn't have the correct vibes from the beginning?

Indeed convincingness does not equal to value.

The reason I reacted to the comment was largely its patronizing vibes.
I always thought it was a luxury item like soft close doors on high end luxury cars. Supposed to feel premium compared to actually pulling a mechanical handle.
Holos - https://holos.run/docs/v1alpha5/tutorial/overview/

Holos is a configuration management tool for Kubernetes. It provides the building blocks needed for implementing the rendered manifests pattern. It's a new project we built from our experience managing our own and our client's infrastructure.

We're looking for design partners to help us identity and define use cases. If you need to configure services for multiple environments, customers, regions, projects, and teams your input would be valuable.

Tech Stack: Go, CUE, Helm, Kustomize. Roadmap: Jsonnet, KCL, PKL, etc... as needed.
From the website:"the number of cars involved in a fatal crash were normalized by the total number of vehicle miles driven"

They assume every car drives the average number of miles. Of course a CR-V is going to score high, since they likely drive more than an average number of miles.

A 911 on the other hand probably drives a small fraction of the average.

This study is fairly low quality. The IHHS list 13.3 fatalities per billion miles as the actual number.
Yes, all one take :-) However there were many trials to get there with less than 20% chance of overall success I would estimate.

e.g. the bit where I hide behind behind a headstone in the graveyard is by no means reliable (maybe 80%?)

Thanks to HN the view count on YouTube has increased dramatically! If it gets past 1000 I'm going to have to record and upload the final section with the combine troops.

EDIT: assuming that is still possible: Valve have made some changes for the twentieth birthday which I noticed today.

e.g. there's more grass and bizarrely the lift button has switched to the other side of the elevator

> Note that this involves removing the rear carpet in the Model S and the door pocket mat in the Model Y

Seriously? How many people would be capable of pulling this stunt off in a burning vehicle filled with smoke? Especially considering the fact that in this case the vehicle was packed (5 people in it)--it's hard enough to get your own feet out of the way.

If this passes the safety regulations, those regulations should be changed. Not just expecting car manufacturers to do it out of their good will because they won't.
The question in this context is whether they are less responsible for their lifestyle choices than their physician.

We're talking about the variables in the calculator: blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes.

Which one of those is the physician more responsible for than the patient?
There are some great books, and every book means something different to each person who reads it.

K&R influenced a generation of programmers.

Hennessy and Patterson influence a generation of architects.

etc. etc.

It's not just SICP.

But the greater point: a book can be meaningful, and we can always use more good ones.
IMO The secret ingredient that makes these regional trains work is actually conductors who check fares and remove people who aren’t paying (or otherwise harass other riders) off the train. The electric part is also cool.
Don’t Tesla gloves boxes require the touch screen to open?
When Netflix started it was the first in the space and breaking ground which is how they became a "tech" company that happens to stream media however it has been 15 years and since than the cloud providers have basically build "netflix as a service". I suspect most of the big streamers are using that instead of building their own in house thing and going through all the growing pains netflix is.
I don't buy safety/medical products from Amazon. There was a time (maybe even today still) where those products go into a big bin with no verification of who the actual supplier was (1st vs 3rd party). I don't know how to verify if the issue has been resolved today, but life-critical items such as tourniquets, meds, etc. are expected to be 100% made by the supplier. Unfortunately, the money in the industry is so big that "cheap Chinese knockoffs" are being sold as high-quality replicas, even though they may not meet all the required specs.

There were many cases a few years ago of people buying branded tourniquets, only to be sold fake ones. The item looked genuine, but the integrity of the plastic could not maintain the pressures needed and broke. An emergency is not the time to realize that mistake.

Lifehammers don't work on laminated glass, like your front windshield (that would be bad, as it would mean a rock chip would shatter your window).

But more and more manufactures are putting in laminated side windows in their cars both for comfort (noise) and rollover protection, so Lifehammers don't work there either.

I believe in the USA lots of tests are actually done without seatbelts, and this makes the requirements harder to meet.

> The audience here skews towards those the truth.

The truth is that this sentence is believed by every audience ever convened.

Actually you are correct, I should had known better to type "truth", as if a thing existed.

This site definitely skews towards objectivity.
Sea-based X-band radar
"The radar was described by Lt. Gen Trey Obering (former director of MDA) as being able to track an object the size of a baseball over San Francisco in California from Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, approximately 2,900 miles (4,700 km) away."
This seems like a huge failure on the part of the NTSB. Tesla is getting a lot of attention for this incident, but are there other manufactures that would have had the exact same problem given this same incident?

The entire point of organizations like the NTSB is to prevent unsafe cars from going into production.

The NTSB has given this type of door opening a green light. WHY?
What DDR pads are those? Are they custom made?
As a cofounder of a CDN company that pushed a lot of traffic, the problem with live streaming is that you need to propagate peak viewership trough a loooot of different providers. The peering/connectivity deals are usually not structured for peak capacity that is many times over the normal 95th percentile. You can provision more connectivity, but you don't know how many will want to see the event.
Also, live events can be trickier than stored files, because you can't offload to the edges beforehand to warm up the caches.

So Netflix had 2 factors outside of their control

- unknown viewership

- unknown peak capacities outside their own networks

Both are solvable, but if you serve "saved" content you optimize for different use case than live streaming.
At Del Mar crossing because you can’t see or hear anything from behind the curve. Clever solve.
There can be situations where someone's rights are more important than the law. In that case it's ethical to break the law. Speeding to the hospital and lying to Nazis are cases of that. The drinking with your 18 year old, I'm not sure, maybe.

My point though, is that in general, when there's not a right that outweighs the law, it's unethical to break the law.
Just so we're clear, this is a "beginner programming book" that has you create a scheme interpreter, then a register machine simulator, then a compiler out of your interpreter that will then have its compiled code run on the register machine simulator, by the final chapter.

This is probably the part where you'd step up and post a link to your repo with solutions to the exercises to back up your talk, but generally I only see this sort of casual dismissal from people who haven't actually worked through the book.
I don't have a horse in this race, but I came across Postmark[1] several years ago and thought to myself if I ever needed to send marketing emails — or transactional for that matter — I'd give them my business. They seem.. nice.

Anyways, I'm surprised to not see them mentioned or considered at all. Did they fly under the radar or do I just have the wrong impression of them?

I meant security engineers/exploiters actually, but yeah, I can see how most working C++ programmers who aren't security specialists might not be as familiar with it.
Lumen has their Vyvvyx product/service which uses fiber for broadcast television.
I would call it "an easy way to create a very full featured README" because it's not easier than just loading a snippet or template in ones text editor, but it does offer a very easy way to add specific sections and to customize them.

The "Get Started" button goes right to the editor with three panes: list of sections to include, plain text editor for the current section, and rendered preview. There's no sign up, and the results can be downloaded directly. Very nicely done little app.

I felt the default sections were missing something, so I easily created this:

Don't trust software engineers to handle edge cases and failure modes
Your examples account for less than 1% of the industry. Why are you cherry picking examples when discussing media industry trends? Are you saying "it isn't happening because of these few examples"?

I get that you're trying to discredit the argument by claiming fallacies, but these aren't just my views. Industry insiders (Frost in games and RedLetterMedia in movies) have been talking about this for nearly a decade.
"Police say area man had burglary tools and weapons in his vehicle at the time of the arrest..."
This isn't a solution though; the driver of an uber may have a lifehammer somewhere, but the passengers don't know about it. It is simply criminal not to have an obvious way to open the door.
This is great, but what possible counterargument is there? We should prolong indefinitely a spooky ambiguity about whether the system works or not?
I don't think you get to decide if you qualify as an ally, and that's maybe part of the problem here.

There are a lot of well-meaning well-intentioned people who do great harm. The adage "the path to hell is paved with good intentions" exists as an observation of this.
Not 100% agree but would almost say the same thing.

As someone who made small contributions to several projects and left comments under many GitHub issues, things that I see:

* Heavy users are more likely to report bugs and end up contributing to the project
* If many people run into the same issue, more likely someone will create among them will write a fix, or at least suggest a workaround
* A "healthy" project -- one that addresses GitHub issues and pull requests quickly, that responds to people's questions instead of ignoring them, that encourages technical discussions, is more likely to attract even more contributions.
* Some projects have issues and pull requests that are open for a long time without any response from maintainers (despite active development). I myself wouldn't even bother reporting a bug because it's not worth it

Meanwhile, even under this thread, you can find people that expect certain amount of experience with a particular language. That just says to me they don't want contribution. Why? I am no expert in that certain language, but I am experienced enough in software engineering that I can jump into many codebases and create a high quality patch with some ChatGPT. I've done this many times before. If they are so obnoxious I'd rather put my energy elsewhere.
