AFAICT, automatic emergency braking has only been required for all new vehicles in Europe as of 2024, although 2022 for new car models. In the U.S. 90% of new vehicles already include this feature, though it won't be legally mandatory until 2029.

The U.S. NHTSA takes a more cooperative approach with industry. Safety features are a critical driver of the model upgrade cycle, so it's in the industry's interest to roll these out. The NHTSA negotiates with the industry on timelines for when mandatory requirements begin, but these hard deadlines lag years behind when these features become ubiquitous voluntarily. Timelines for voluntary rollout are part of the negotiating process, so just because the legal deadline is 2029 doesn't mean NHTSA didn't negotiate for features to be included earlier. This results in less acrimony so industry is less inclined to complain to Congress.
Does the distillation done here have a large impact on quality compared to the original "slow" models?

I think that was my original point - who cares?

It adds nothing of value to their accomplishments, nor the article.

If anything, it detracts from the accomplishment. "Look how cute it is that the females are trying to code, applaud them!" - is the sentiment that comes out of it. It's the same affect as these all-female movie casts that then get promoted as "look how great it is that the cast is all female" instead of "look how great this movie is".

In general, we should just say person. Allow the accomplishments to carry themselves. If they are good, people will respond.

I tried real absinthe in Spain. I believe it was slightly different from regular alcohol, but not different enough to merit a panic. I liked the taste quite a bit more than regular e.g. tequila.
Eh, spent two weeks in Japan in mainly Tokyo and Kyoto a couple weeks ago, and I can safely say that the quality of taxi service varies a lot. Fantastic ride from and to the airport with the driver handling all our luggages. But, taxi drivers who didn't speak English and who couldn't read romanized addresses were common. It was a problem because Google Maps defaulted to romanized addresses on our phones due to our phone language being English.

A taxi we called up using Uber (Uber can only call taxis in Japan) even delayed cancelling our ride passive-aggressively long enough that we missed other rides and lost a lot of time.

My friends had even met with a rude taxi driver (I know impossible, in Japan, right?) that refused to take them to a place that he deemed too close in Kyoto.

We also had numerous great experiences with taxis too: accomodating our stops, having lovely conversations, giving out touristic information and they tried really hard to go accross the language barrier. Great people overall. But, having said that, as a tourist, I'd take a Waymo any day over a taxi in Japan just because I think it would be less friction for me.
There is a move afoot to eliminate all regulations unless they've been specifically passed by Congress. Which is basically incapable of passing anything.

Ironically, that inherent dysfunction is the main reason to suspect that won't happen. But politically, every regulation as automatically partisan, even when it has overwhelming support.
I don't think you're being too harsh. If you look at the archives, it's pretty easy to see the crankism. Also why there's only 4 comments (2 top level) in the whole discussion. They are mixing the languages of science and psychedelics so thoroughly that it's hard to even comment. I agree with the current sibling reply. It doesn't seem like they have an ulterior motive, but the science is very thin. That said, I do hope they find something interesting.
Even if that's true (maybe your team is really careful about documentation and data structures even when they don't have types?) - the majority of the "bugs" TS catches are those that would be caught manually anyway, during development.

It's just that instead of measuring those bugs in hours, they don't even exist to be measured.
OTA is more important now with so many people cancelling cable TV service. Use streaming for regular shows, and antenna for live stuff. Also very useful during local emergencies. Add an HD Homerun and you have an app-like experience along with a DVR.

The intuition is that the relative frequency at which past tokens get attention from future tokens is a good proxy for their relative importance.

The model the authors use, in fact, maps attention scores to features in the frequency domain.

The people who require SAML, LDAP and Kerberos are often catering towards a specific userbase (ie. internal business customers).

The needs for Auth & Auth are different for public-facing apps/services. It's not entirely unsurprising many newer Auth solutions don't even attempt to implement SAML et al.

With all of the recent steep price hikes in the Auth SaaS space, it seems it's becoming increasingly important to actually own your user account data. By own, I mean have access to the database and be capable of migrating it somewhere else (even at a large inconvenience) if necessary.

KeyCloak seems awesome for this - but I am liking the "explosion" of new Auth providers that seem to be popping up everywhere these days.
Free speech doesn't obligate you to give every troll, bigot and moron your time and attention. Block them when and where you can. Where you can't, try to ignore them and not to engage. Even if it means letting them be wrong on the internet, or letting them "win."

It's more like renting for an undisclosed period of time than buying, and perhaps labeling should be required to reflect this. I think the first sale doctrine needs holes plugged and the third party doctrine should probably be binned or at least heavily modified. We're well over a decade into an era that many of our laws just are not fit for. Of course, many of those legal deficiencies were bought and paid for, so I'm not holding my breath.

> they could use geolocation, with a note that the tax is estimated

So we'd go from the current regime where the displayed price is wrong to another regime where the displayed price is wrong? Allegedly, something like 40%+ of Americans use VPNs. They would pretty much always see the wrong price.

In practice, the ramification of this would be that your local indie retailers (where we are much less likely to be persistently logged in) would be forced to incorrectly show higher prices to a set of people, while the giant retailers who already have your billing info can show you 100% accurate pricing all the time, regardless of VPN.

I don't see any clear wins in that scenario.
If the goal is to improve something don't make it worth 50% of your grade.

When you attach a literal degree to something being done "right" and not "demonstrated considerable improvement" you're going to get people that game the system. When you then make me pay $30,000 or more for a piece of paper you will get people that seek an edge. I did my fair share of underhanded tricks in school because I didnt want to pay another $1200 because I had to maintain a certain GPA to get where I wanted. This was over 15 years ago. Focus in the classes you care about, game the classes you don't. Its a tale as old as education itself.

Blame the OP's wife and the faculty and most universities for not only supporting but encouraging this behavior. If universities are for learning and improving the weight of grades shouldn't be career-determining and the cost should be commensurate to the expectation - both from the professor and the students.
If you think you are 'just not a math person' then think again
I disagree. Most places I've worked, "I fucked up" is an acceptable response in an RCA as long as "I fucked up" isn't the end of the analysis. You shouldn't just be to throw your hands up and go, "well I guess nothing can be done then". People will fuck up, but you can do things to protect them from themselves, limit the blast radius, and make recovery smoother.

From my own life, I worked at a start up early in my career and dropped the entire production database. I was troubleshooting a production bug and had the prod DB open in one terminal window and my local DB open in another. I meant to drop my local DB and instead typed it into the prod terminal and that was that.

In the RCA we didn't just end at "I fucked up". The line of questioning went beyond that into what gaps allowed that fuck up to be possible which lead to action items around restricting access to production data to only those who need it as well as ensuring we had proper backups (thankfully, we did at the time) and ensuring we had runbooks on restoring data in the event that it happened again.

In OS/2, you can run any version of DOS, or even multiple different versions at the same time, and I think possibly any real-mode OS that doesn't do anything too crazy with the hardware.

In Windows, you are limited to the version of DOS that Windows is running on. Windows does not expose the ability to run any other version of DOS or other OS; nor does Windows API expose any of its virtualization functionality that would be useful in doing so.
I agree with you in general but at some point the less efficient older hardware costs more to do run than something newer and more efficient. It doesn’t have to fail to be obsolete. This is a simple finance and accounting exercise.
They did do the hard work - it took many years.
In retrospect OS/2 was an OS created for a certain kind of professional user just at the time when the nature of who actually used a computer underwent a fundamental shift.

If you were the kind of customer that had a mainframe in the head office, or maybe an AS/400 and some terminals, and your IT stack was tightly managed, OS/2 would have been quite familiar: Redbooks, prescriptive hardware compatibility, Rexx, manuals with every error code documented, and very IBM-ish approaches to development (eg System Object Model).

Sadly for IBM they didnt realize that people wanted an OS that was simple to use and would work well enough on any cheapo PC to get things done without needing a managed IT provider or somesuch.

I view NT as Microsoft understanding that while they would never want to be IBM, the Win31/Win95 platform was too fragile to be a basis for the future and that they better take on board some of the lessons of OSes like OS/2 and UNIX before their market window slammed shut.
The effect described in the StackExchange answer to increase perceived brightness at a lower power level seems to rely on a low frequency and short duty cycle. It's not necessary to use that effect given that LEDs rated for higher power levels are available, and the amount of power is insignificant at the scale of a car, but it does allow the use of cheaper LEDs.

I didn't realize they licensed private tour guides. My son's scout troop went to Gettysburg and joined one of the NPS tours. The guy kept a whole lot of teenaged boys engaged and interested for what was at least 2 hours and several miles of walking. I've been on tours of other Civil War sites and that was by far the best.

Show HN: A simple air quality app
I made this app for myself, but it's probably worth sharing.

When I tried to find a nice app that I could use to check air quality multiple times a day, I was shocked. All of them looked boring with traffic-light coding and overcrowded with unnecessary data. On top of that, they either contained ads or required payment.

I didn't want to use any of those apps every day, so I thought, "Well, how hard could it be?" and accepted the challenge. I expected to finish development in a month, but since I'm a designer and don't normally program apps, I had to learn Swift on the go. This required a month more than I expected.

In my designs, I'm usually way too focused on efficiency. Since this was my personal project, I wanted to experiment, so I didn't use standard controls or color coding.

Inspired by avant-garde style, I used forms and movement to convey air quality, as well as an asymmetrical layout and overflowing visualizations. I enjoy using the app, and I hope you will, too.
Hi Burak, thanks for posting! We're looking for a tool in this space and i'll take a look.

It is definitely second person plural. I have heard my daughter use it (deliberately ironically) many times not in the form of questions, like "Chat, today we're going to be making toast."

I admit that I have never heard it used in anyway except as a noun of direct address, so it may not be a full-featured second person plural pronoun.
Nearly every great accomplishment I've ever had in my life was destroyed before it even began. I would share my idea with someone, many someones and 90% of the reaction would always be negative. "That won't work", "It's a dumb idea, here's why", etc... But the 10% that had positive things to say and youthful stupidity and stubbornness often made me pursue them anyway. Often enough, if I really put in 100% effort it ended up working out. Not every time.... but looking back, it was often enough that I could string together a bit of confidence and start ignoring the naysayers.

I don't know if I would have had the confidence to continue if in the beginning I hadn't had some bit of success often enough to keep my hopes alive. I think that a lot of that has to do with the way I was raised. Parents that encouraged you to think and do different things, that gave you positive feedback and encouragement. Schools that did the same. Sports. Different classes. Interaction with different children at different schools. Which as a kid were scary and painful but also they prepared you for unexpected things.

The new world, social media, etc... really doesn't promote that stuff well. We have information at our fingertips but we don't put nearly enough effort into the positive stuff. It seems to be human nature at this point to default to the negative. I fear it will only get worse.

Thick skin, willingness to put yourself out there and fail over and over are necessary. My best advice is to just tell yourself over and over to never stop trying. You haven't failed until you give up... nothing wrong with moving onto another project. But, be like a shark... once you stop swimming, you die.
It doesn't really work like that, though. Sales tax is up to the states to sort out how to deal with on their own, and there's 50 of them.

Nationally (or as some may prefer, "federallly"), the sales tax rate is already zero -- and has always been zero.

I bet that's wrong, and that a huge chunk of shopping is from cell phones that usually have an effectively random IP when they're not at their home location.
Because people have been conditioned through the media to believe that once the Billionares get taxed, you're next.

We're at an unprecedented levels of wealth inequality in America. Billion dollar businesses built on tax payer money, should contribute to the system. Instead we've designed a system where these companies would rather pay millions of dollars in campaign contributions and to lobbyists.
You know why I read the original court documents? I realised I had been lied to before by some media sources (some of those people believe to be credible as well).

Pricing and charging for storage inside an organization is always ultimately a non-technical decision that has to balance who pays for it versus the consequences of it not being paid for. This is especially the case within organizations like universities, which have unusual funding and funding patterns (for instance, one time capex is usually much easier than guaranteed ongoing opex). We (the people providing the disk storage) know that there are ongoing costs to doing so, but the non-technical decision has been made to cover those costs in other ways than charging professors on a recurring basis.

(I'm the author of the linked-to entry.)
Passkeys were always designed as being synchronizable and not necessarily be secure hardware backed.

I think there’s a place for both of them in WebAuthN based on the security/availability/convenience tradeoff which will be different for every application.

If you care about your users only using the trusted hardware, non-synchronizing kind, you have to use attestation anyway (or malware running on their device could create credentials that only appear to be backed by secure hardware).

Unfortunately both Apple and Google seem to have unshipped their attestation support without replacement (they used to support hardware backed credentials in their devices too for a while) in the interest of not confusing users about what is and isn’t synchronized – now everything is.
Exactly. So what alternative are you getting instead?
> Because it makes state-level or national-level advertising of prices impossible. Or even local-level in many cases.

In large countries like Canada, and I would imagine the US, you probably don't want to advertise prices nationally.

Never mind small towns in remote communities connected to the road network, such as Northern Ontario.

Btrfs is something i originally wanted to use but other people were not fans of linux so custom ad-hoc tooling (RMAN) it was.
This sounds more like lack of knowledge/experience of the tooling rather than problems with the tooling itself.

Many build tools will “tree-shake” unused code and support conditionals when compiling their bundles.

Build time varies considerably depending on the tooling you use and the size/complexity of the project, and is definitely much slower than many other languages, but while developing people will use incremental builds which can complete faster than you can type a new statement.

What other basics are “missing”?
In case you ever seriously consider it, I suggest doing it with RubyMine. It rekindled my passion for programming with its thoughtful suggestions and magic-like refactoring options.

At some point, power efficiency may become an issue.

Let's say you server uses 100W, continuous and runs 24/7, that's 876 kWh per year, at $0.20/kWh, that's $175 at the end of the year. Something like a Raspberry Pi is maybe $100 with shipping and accessories, and uses less than a tenth of that power, the hardware will pay for itself in less than a year.

Note that the "old hardware" is an enterprise class, 10 year old file server. Hard to replace with a Raspberry Pi, but some old servers could be. Virtualization is another option, a common one for businesses.
