Yeah. I like to run docker without needing a Linux vm, I like the choice of desktop environments and they are superb for me compared to the macos desktop. KDE Plasma 6 is one of the best desktops I've ever used.

Now with the atomic distros, such as Aurora, you have a rock solid base you never touch, updates are atomic so you can always reboot to the previous version if needed and you create lightweight containers for development.

My current setup is Aurora as the base distro, all GUI applications from Flathub and the terminal automatically opens up in distrobox which runs Arch Linux with Nix. Super solid, super fast and everything just works.
Why would insurance need to get more expensive for manual drivers as self-driving adoption increases?

Ideally, insurance cost for self-driving cars would just be lower than insurance costs now (proportional to risk), and even insurance costs for manual drivers might go down because their risk decreases as well.
I told you 3 times not to use K&R style braces Get with the program, Copilot
Good point about intent. As a passenger I appreciated how smooth it was but I can see how the lack of “body language” could be disorienting for human drivers.

The Waymo driving style is almost passive-aggressive. It has superhuman situational awareness and knowledge. I wonder if it isn’t using blinkers effectively but it’s everyone else that’s technically wrong.

It’s also not perfect so who knows. There’s probably still bugs to work out.

$1mm at the time, $10mm today. They sold for the equivalent of $30 each in today's money and saved manned spaceflight from having to deal with graphite shards in the air and electrical.

> car dependency is not the same as car usage

"If the richest country in the world" got "rid of its car dependency," we'd still want safer cars.
Are you sure the sole goal really is providing safe storage? Or is it providing the safest possible storage within a certain minimal cost envelope, or even providing it at a profit?

People get lazy and complacent even if well-compensated, even if well-rested thanks to proper staffing, and even if everyone involved fully believes in their mission. But each of those can mitigate against that risk.

On the other hand, if it’s a (typical) underpaid understaffed project to which people are assigned, you’re in for a world of hurt.
But "random human-driven taxi" is arbitrary since random humans are not driving taxis. This study doesn't at all show that Waymos are safer than Ubers driven by Uber drivers (though I suspect that is the case).
Mm, radium water. They'll figure it out alright. After they explored the commercial opportunities. :)

The main issue for you seems to be you don't live in a major tech hub, or isn't in a remote position from a company built with such values.

There you'll be able to get mentoring and grow faster, but beware... 'passion for craftsmanship' is something you'll rarely see. People working in big tech or companies that move fast they prefer to be pragmatic, and you'll see many bad solutions running in production just because it was faster to ship.

How do I vet companies? I go to work in companies where I know good people work.

Try to engage with your community and see who are the main drivers of progress in your programming language or infrastructure you use, try to work where they work.

Honestly people in tech are so kind that if you just ask whoever inspires you, what companies they believe are doing great work, I bet they'll have alternatives.

Also and not the least, work in a programming language that has a great community looking for progress. Not all communities are like this, some are stuck in the past.

I'm (likely) way older than you and can safely say that you should seize this desire to grow, go for what you want. As it's much harder to jump into a cool company when you are in your 40s if you have nothing impressive in your CV.

As you are still in the beginning of your career, all the doors are open but you need to make sure you are running. Of course, don't quit cold turkey, but make sure you are always moving strategically to build yourself up.

Also, make sure to analyze yourself what you want in life. Not everyone needs to work for Meta, make $1M comp, but have a negative impact on everybody's mental health.

And also nobody needs to grind hard their whole lives, maybe talk to a professional therapist as they can help you understand what you really want in life.

If you ask here on HN people here often work in FAANGs or are founders and are dedicated to the grind, meanwhile they 'achieve' much, it may not be what you want. It's perfectly fine to be content with less need for money or social acceptance. Just by being disciplined you can have a pretty good financial situation while working as a software engineer for a mid-tier company.

It took ~20 years coding and chasing rainbows for me to find this out.

Whether in FAANG or big/small company, or even building your own business I hope you find what you want!

Ha, Ha! Teamwork is vastly overrated in the Industry. Almost everything achieved by mankind is because one man put together a lot of knowledge in his own head and came up with insights. Even when they worked in Teams each man was an individual and did his own thinking.

Not YET, but there are no any promises too.

New API like secretstream includes algo into API names, so, I hope, it is "stable forever", but it is rather new feature.

Basic APIs like "crypto_secretbox" are "black boxes" and there are no any guarantees spelled out. Algorithms are mentioned in documentation, though.

If it succeeds, self-driving technology is likely to be integrated into public transit systems, enhancing their reliability and overall efficiency.
> The future is bright.

Ask the 2.3 million employed drivers in the United States how the future looks.

Because pretty soon, they'll all need to be doing something else. And I don't see a technology that will open up 2.3 million jobs for them to move into, or training initiatives to support them while they shift professions.

The future _could_ be bright, if we approach AI right, and build the social safety net to soften the massive amount of transition that will be necessary. But we're not. We're looking at cuts everywhere in the near future. And long term, it seems we have no strategy. Which makes it more likely that a lot of people will be harmed.
Did you guys not read the article ? The problem arises because of the way the music is distributed on Spotify and the way it is licensed. Spotify make deals with the companies producing this stock music so that it can fill its popular playlists with while paying close to zero royalties. The consequence is a decline both in music quality on the platform and in artists rights, revenue, and ability to be listened to overall.
Yet another article that purports to show concern for artists being exploited by big bad streaming providers, but is in fact written out of concern for the record labels and distributors who are no longer able to exploit said artists as completely as possible. "Legacy rent seeker is alarmed that a newer rent seeker is cutting them out" would be a more accurate title.

It was a noticeable step down from the previous keyboards. Certainly not Apple's best.

Incredible as this might sound, I think the best keyboard Apple made was the Butterfly. It was fragile and unreliable, but it felt great and sounded crisp and precise.
I don't get what this statistic truly signify. between 90,000–166,000 people died in Hiroshima - almost all civilians naturally, while way fewer people died in Gaza - many civilians but also many Hamas people. I'm not denying a lot of bombing went on in Gaza but obviously it was way less lethal and way more surgical than what happened in Hirsohima, otherwise you can't really explain the death toll difference.

They put out signs before and after - the challenge was to convey a message to people with rich oral language skills but no written lnaguage traditions at all - so yes, they used pictures | graphics to convey danger - not with any real success.

That challenge aside some would say it was a cursory and very much token effort as at that time in history indigenous Australians were considered to be part of the fauna of the unihabited Terra Nullus with no rights other than some use as test subjects for the effects of the new toy.

Probably worth mentioning they also dusted Adelaide with fallout including a young Tony Blair, a future UK Prime Minister.

I think poly is kind of an umbrella term right now for a lot of different kinds of "multiple partners" type relationships. I am ENM (ethically non-monogamous) but if you're not familiar with the term (and most people aren't) saying poly is much easier. It is a bit like saying LGBT and including all the things that fit under the umbrella but aren't lesbian, gay, bi or trans.
How would they even prove that if it's in the open? "Stolen? No idea, I've always had that bike, I just forgot where I left it last time. Went and got it back. By the way, here's the receipt."
I do appreciate all of what you’ve said but the author of this piece is actually mistaken.

The browser isn’t actually processing the string “chucknorris” and forgiving incorrectly provided hex codes, which is a common misconception.

What actually happens within the rendering pipeline is that the full literal string (in this case, “chucknorris”) is parsed, and the browser attempts to render the tag in the colour of blood in hope of receiving the mercy that Chuck Norris doesn’t have.

As said, it’s a common misconception and I’m glad I could clear it up before he reads this.

Good question.

I try to avoid proprietary software when I can, so if I wanted something like this I’d definitely look for open source options first. I’ll endure a reasonable amount of setup pain as long as the solution is what I’m after to go the open source route over a proprietary app.

For example, your idea seems to sit somewhere between Alfred (which I’ve bought every upgrade/ultimate pack/whatever for) or Raycast, and an LLM augmented search of a NAS / “personal cloud” server. So assuming I wanted it, if there was no neat and self contained open source solution, I’d probably try to cobble something together with Alfred, Ollama, Open WebUI, etc. (all of which I already run) plus some scripts/code first, too.

That said, for a good, feature-full local/self hosted solution that does exactly what I want in the absence of an open source option (or if it’s just much better in significant ways), I’m generally willing pay between $20–$100 per major release (for ex. I pay around that for e.g.: Alfred, the Affinity apps). For this I suppose $30–50 if it was pretty slick and filled an important niche. (I have paid more a handful of times in my life, usually for very specific use cases or if it helps me professionally, but not very recently.)

However, if a nice (or very promising and exciting to me), well maintained open source (GPL/MIT/Apache/BSD type license) solution does [most of] what I want and it’s something I really use (and a smaller project[0]) then I donate $10–30 per month (ex.: Helix, WezTerm). I sometimes do smaller or one-off donations, etc. for stuff I use less but appreciate.

That is, I intentionally pay more for open source I care about, and would humbly suggest considering that option for your project. Though I recognise that sustaining yourself financially that way is more than likely considerably harder, even with my small personal attempt at creating incentives for the world I want to see :)

NB: I do not buy subscription software unless it comes with a genuinely value added service (storing a few MiB on the devs cloud service doesn’t count) or access to data, for instance detailed snow/weather forecasts, market data, an advanced AI model (though my admittedly relatively minimal LLM use is currently >95% local and free/“open source” models).

[0] I don’t give money to the Linux kernel devs, etc. as I don’t think it’s likely to has as much positive impact
Great idea. You could probably use a lithium battery to give you similar mAh.
Then shouldn’t the comparison be to Uber instead of an ambulance?
> but those are not safety issues.

there are not memory safety issues. But they definitely can lead to security issues with some sort of confused deputy attack.

For example a capability based system that relied on just this form of memory safety would be pointless.

Of course this can be mitigated by adding version counters to objects and object selectors.
This sounds quite a bit like massaging statistics until you get the numbers you like.

A few things that pop to mind: did we exclude drivers who were not eligible to drive (under the influence, no valid driving permit, cars with issues [braking broken]...)? (This mostly matters for evaluating the average performance compared to average non-impaired human — a drunk person might mess up with self-driving vehicle sensors as well just for kicks once they are in suitable numbers and widely available)

Did Waymo drive across all the same areas and time periods as the humans did with an equal "proportion"?

Could we compare "time behind wheel" instead of miles travelled? (Eg. lots of small crashes happen when traffic is at a standstill)

There are so many ways to slice and dice this and come up with favourable results for self-driving systems that I can't but be dubious of any claim.

But notably, if we can liberate ourselves from driving through congested traffic, it would certainly reduce the incentive to speed and aim for more efficient driving as we'd be free to do other stuff while we get to our destination — and simply slowing down would buy both human and software drivers time to react and avoid most crashes (nothing really saves you from someone recklessly driving straight into your car).

As a cyclist I avoid eye contact like the plague: it's only a small minority of drivers, but that small minority is dangerous enough to outweigh all benefits eye contact might have with others. Some drivers will inevitably read eye contact as "the cyclist has seen me and understood that my big and dangerous car will crush them without taking harm so they will yield no matter what traffic rules might say, so I will go". Eye contact is like a green light to them.

If I do want to yield despite having priority I can do that just as safely without eye contact and if I want to assert priority it's objectively less dangerous (because of that minority) if I do it without eye contact. Nothing to gain, so much to lose. The reality on the ground is what the car does, and I will focus on that. Taking guesses from looking at the driver is counterproductive.
The implausible thing there is that if it really was an Iranian mother-drone ship etc, it'd be shot down ages ago. But it's a convenient story for parties that want to portray the US as incompetent, even if said parties have tentative alliances / shared interests with Iran.

This.

I'm always surprised how few people know as pedestrians to look at me, the driver and not my car. Some don't even look at the car. I developed a habit of looking for their gaze and if they don't look back, assume they're not fully aware and just am more cautious.

This works because I, as a human, know this and can compensate when they just rush the crosswalk without being fully aware of their surroundings.

How do you do that with a machine?
That's initially true, but as the car ages, and maintenance is done (or not done, or done improperly) the car's aspects will change.

And as new cars are developed, obviously there are more "drivers". Essentially every year there'll be new drivers for every company that makes autonomous cars, possibly multiple.

Yeah, it's still a lot fewer than the individual humans, but it's definitely not just "one driver".

There are no Israeli casualties ? wtf are you on about.
There are enough Israeli casualties to completely shake a country to its core. Forget all the dead from the Hamas massacre of October 7th, Israel has 12k+ wounded soldiers. That's an enormous amount for such a small country. It still has around 100k internal refugees.
Yes it's way way less than what Gaza has experienced but at the same time - correcting for population - it's so much worse than 9/11. There's no Western country in recent time that went through something event remotely similar to what Israel has gone and is going through.
When it comes to old nuclear material, it's more the danger of getting radiactive particles on and in you than it's about pure radiation. You can walk away from a machine but you can't walk away from that fine powder you just inhaled.
OP’s post clearly suggested a long term trend of declining GDP per capita (“every year”), which is not the case.
It can be difficult to differentiate between those, because you can have meaningless sex in a committed relationship and meaningful sex in a non-committed one. I have sex with several of my close friends because the difference between platonic love and romantic relationship is not very clear in my mind. And I've had relationships that are very close and intimate where I haven't had sex with them because while some of them have been romantic, they just haven't been physical.
