Typically you get warranty on the whole thing through a single merchant, so if anything goes wrong you don't have to deal with the individual parts manufacturers.
Yes, in much of the world there are mandatory passenger-facing emergency break levers in every carriage of passenger trains. The US is the outlier here.

And yes, passengers should absolutely be able to bring their vehicle to an immediate stop. It's an "emergency break"! Of course you need an emergency break in an autonomous car! What exact alternative are you proposing for when you're in an AI-operated car hurtling under the chassis of a white truck that it failed to detect in snow conditions?

It seems like an incredibly obvious and basic legislative requirement for self-driving cars to have some kind of immediate manual break for emergencies. I'm kind of shocked that that apparently isn't the case now?
Hybrid transactional analytical processing (HTAP)
how can that be possible?
Neat idea. But I’m also worried by setups where users have the ability to shut down a remote host but aren’t privileged enough to then hit the ipmi or cloud management console and turn it back on again. Suppose the thought is avoiding downtime altogether… though I start falling back again on who is privileged enough to shut hosts down.
It would be great if it could be applied universally, but it seems that accommodating all situations in the real world won’t be easy.

In the end, I feel like it might have to transition into the realm of inference, much like AI that mimics human reasoning.
Why on earth would it do that? It would need a lot of congestion, not 1-2 APs.
>A lot of modern day UX designers would be aghast at the sheer quantity of data and speed at which a user can handle it IFF the UI is adequately designed.

Would they even know? There was a time when there was such a thing as domain expertise and when usability studies were an integral facet of many SDLC. Those days seem long gone now. The industry seems far more content to haphazardly adapt OTS solutions or create something that's "pretty" or "modern" at the expense of being functional.

Building your own devboard requires skills in many interdependent areas. Have you tried using an Arduino or similar first? Having built computers from TTL chips and wirewrap chassis, I can confirm that digital electronics field has grown massively and requires knowledge in many specialist areas. Even designing a PCB requires a great deal of knowledge. Tools like KiCAD are great, but they don't abstract out the requisite underlying knowledge.

A university degree in any professional field is only the starting point for a lifetime of learning. In my pre-internet days I spent several thousand dollars a year on books and professional journals all of which I read cover-to-cover. With the internet I find all the materials I need with some focused searching.

The only thing that you truly learn at university is how to research, ie ask questions and then find the answers. Being a professional means having the experience to apply your learning to specific outcomes.

For me learning is very much just-in-time. I stumble across something I don't have a clue about, so I research. Typically I come across something that I don't understand, so then I dig into that and so on. Generally I need to get down into the weeds until I connect with something I already know. Then I start building upwards. Pretty soon I hit another thing I don't understand and repeat the exercise.
GPT-1 was released 7 years ago, but ok. You really think GPT-4 to o1 is increasingly logarithmic the same way 4 to 4o is?
Ask HN: Do you have a device to read Optimem 1202 disks?
We have a few Optimem 1202 disks that hold valuable information, but we really struggled to find disk reader. Could you provide some pointers?
Yeah? People do that for fun. A $160 minipc is capable of serving 1Gb/s of web traffic without breaking a sweat (limited by far by the NIC, and for most people, their Internet connection). At a 20W TDP even at 20¢/kWh you're looking at ~$3/month to drive it full tilt.

If I'm reading it right, the wikimedia grafana indicates they're usually under 20 Gb/s for reference.

The document you mentioned also seems to have a lot to learn from.
While I get your point, and I think it's strong, I'm entirely unconvinced.

Everything we see, do and understand exists in a context window of an individual. We have a shared language, with which we can inexpertly communicate shared concepts. That language is terrible at communicating certain concepts, so we've invented things like math and counting to try to become more precise. It doesn't make those things "true" universally. It makes them consistent within a certain context.

How far it it from Dallas to Houston? On a paper map, it might be a few inches. True, within that context. Or you might get an answer for road miles. Or as the crow flies. In miles? Kilometers? It's only fairly recently (in human history) that we've even had somewhat consistent units of measure. And that whole conversation presupposes an enormous amount of culture knowledge and context - would that question mean anything to a native tribesman in Africa without an enormous amount of inculturation? Are their facts the same?

I'm not trying to make a "nothing is true, we can't know anything" kind of argument, that's lazy thinking.

I'm making an argument for maintaining skepticism in everything, even (especially?) things that you know for sure.
I confess I was disappointed in the video. As someone who decades ago read Stephen Hawking's book A Brief History of Time, it doesn't substantially add to my (lame!) understanding of the Standard Model. It names the 17 entities in the model, classifies them (fermions vs bosons), makes the distinction between matter particles and force particles, chats about each of the four forces, and drops in a number of other factoids. All well and good, and if you had no previous exposure to the standard model, you'd learn a lot. But the contrast to videos in other realms I explore (3Blue1Brown in mathematics, Guitar instructional videos by folks who include tab + video of actual fingers + sound, and woodworking videos where tricky constructions are shown from many angles) casts this Standard Model video in a poor light. The visuals just recapitulate the words that are being spoken. Sigh. Maybe there's nothing else to show, but, as I led with, I ended up disappointed....
Not at all - I'm just confused about the whole left / right distinction being proposed by the OP, since "nationalization" was never (as far as I can tell) part of the "left" at least when we talk about _socialism_. National socialists were definitely interested in "nationalizing" things, but socialists were a little bit more broad in their interpretation of what they were doing with "the stuff that isn't property" (at least as far as I understand it).

But maybe the OP was not talking about "what they thought they were doing" only describing "what they do / did"?
I’d respectfully submit that:

1) While “facts” undisputed exist, there are vanishingly few people sufficiently versed in both epistemology and myriad substantive areas for “fact checking” to make sense. In particular, domain experts are rarely sufficiently versed in epistemology to distinguish between facts they know by virtue of their expertise, and other things they also believe that aren’t really facts.

Moreover, the folks employed checking facts for companies like Facebook typically don’t have any expertise in either epistemology or the range of substantive areas in which they perform fact checking.

2) In practice, the issue in society isn’t “facts” but “trust.” You can build trust by being consistently correct about facts in a visible way. But you can’t beat people over the head with putative facts if they don’t trust you.

OK, wait, you said earlier that you bundle static content like images in the same module as the feature itself, but now you're saying you keep them consolidated in a separate place? You also said earlier that you commonly used relative links but now you're saying you generate them with a link generator function? I'm confused about what you're actually doing...if you look at the link I posted earlier, you can see how I'm doing it. So...are you using relative links like <img src=dog.png> or not?
Everyone must learn new things after university. For example, LLMs, blockchain, and new frameworks likely weren't covered. This is why they say in university you learn how to learn.

My personal opinion is that universities should teach things that would be useful to an expert which you won't have time to learn at a job. Like math and gaining deep understandings of things.

That said, I'd assume if you went to university in computer engineering (i.e. embedded systems/digital electronics), you'd have numerous labs and projects designing and using microcontrollers.

In CS, you might have one lab/class on CPU architecture/assembly but I'm guessing this would be a specialized focus area.
In my pre-sales career, we just did copy and paste for spreadsheets and docs. Most quotes only require finding the nearest recent one and a replace-all for key bits of information followed by careful proof-reading.
Only sort of. The 5G is running higher power so they can sell whole home routers that make it through the walls. New tech vs old is true, but it seems unlikely that we can just keep adding new bands when it's untenable to tell consumers their devices won't work anymore when there are so many.

Life has taught me that you can't trust anyones memories when they suddenly change over time and the changed memories happen to carry with them a financial or personal benefit of some kind with regards to who the memories are about. Such as sudden accusations when someone you know comes into the kind of wealth that you see here. It's also interesting that his family is backing up what he is saying.

Who knows. You just can never trust anything when a lot of money or ulterior motives are involved.
I have built my first PC back in 1997. But now I'd pay money to get a ready made box with a compatible and fully tested OS already installed.
Sometimes people are too afraid of attempting to make it consistent.

I've done several migrations of thing with dozens of unique bespoke usage patterns back to a nice consistent approach.

It sometimes takes a couple straight days of just raw focused code munging, and doesn't always end up being viable, but it's worth a shot for how much better a state it can leave things in.

I appreciate you guys are trying to protect people, but no other financial institution I deal with requires this level of annoyance, and at some point I'd rather switch to a less "secure," but more usable service.

(I put secure in scare quotes, because some suggestions, like trading true 2FA, where I have two separate secrets on two separate devices, for a single WebAuthn factor, are actually accomplishing the opposite, at least for those of us who don't click links in emails and don't use ads on Google for navigation.)

Edit to add: or maybe save the third factor for suspicious activity, such as "new device adding a new payee," rather than every signin. It's been months since I onboarded a new vendor, and I'd be OK with only having to do the cut-and-paste-the-link dance a couple of times a year, rather than every single time I want to check my balance.
That's way harder than just asking someone to do the exact thing that they've already done over and over on your legit site. Sure, some will still fall for it, but the bite rate will go way down.
In case one of the developers is reading, small-ish bug: I increased the vertical field of view "all the way" to 120 degrees.

I am pretty proud of figuring out how to TDD a C# module without booting Unity for a hackathon last month.

Managed to contribute my bit from an underpowered netbook.

I had never written a line of C# before, but I'll be damned if I'm going to concede TDD from the CLI. I knew it could be done, and I made it work. Everybody thought I was crazy, though, and none of the sponsors' DevRel were any help.

And, of course, the biggest point of friction for us, that weekend, was our beefiest machine still had to boot and reboot the damned Unity IDE for a thousand years! Incredible the fetters some folks tolerate.
I'm upvoting every one of these stories to test that hypothesis.
You can do bevel with 2 if you accept intersections, which will always occur unless you ensure a minimum distance between points equal to the width of the line. https://i.imgur.com/1vWoAGV.png

In my context the line represents a player path so the transparency overlap created by the bevel intersection is actually perfectly fine and looks good. The same for intersections over a previous section of the path.

I might go back and add the pixel buffer method anyway so the rounded curves can be both smooth and non intersecting.

I've regularly exceeded 24 GiB of VRAM in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Imagine a huge airport environment with high levels of detail, plus AI aircraft in the ground and sky. Then, on top of that, terrain and textures of the surrounding environment.

Advertising does not make people excited, or happy, in general. The type that does (movie trailers, mostly) can stay.

In general, advertising makes people unhappy.

Think of the teenagers who see photoshoped, paper-thin fashion models and wish they were them. And then spend their money fruitlessly trying to be something that is impossible.

Think of the people convinced by advertising to invest in scams, or to gamble their money away.

This one gets me personally - I can't see a twix ad without wanting to buy a twix. And yet the world would be better if I didn't! They aren't healthy and I was perfectly happy before I saw the ad and then realized I needed one.

And in general they are UGLY. They demand your attention. There's a reason most people here use uBlock.
4. Make sure the sign-in link on mobile works with your mobile app.

When McDonald's switched from email/password to magic links I had a hard time getting the magic link to work with the McD app. It usually would just open in the McD website.

Thus was quite annoying because about 98% of the time I eat McD's I would not do so if I could not order via the app [1].

I finally gave up and switched to using "Sign in With Apple" (SIWA). There was no way that I could find to add SIWN to an existing McD account, so had to use the SIWA that hides the real email from McD. That created a new McD account so I lost the reward points that were on the old account, but at least I could again use the McD app.

[1] They have a weekly "Free Medium Fries on Friday" deal in the app available for use on orders of at least $1. Almost every Friday for lunch I make a sandwich at home and then get cookies and the free fries to go with it from McD.
“The place I grew up is nicer than this new different place I’m now in” is very common. I grew up in a small town. I hate big cities. There are people who feel exactly the opposite because they grew up in big cities.

Also you work in tech but weren’t provided or could not buy health insurance? That seems unlikely.

> Seen that way the problem with 'fake news' is not that it is 'fake' but that it is 'news'.

salient point. as a writer, the essential condition for any story is a conflict because it's the source of tension or dissonance that people engage with for resolution. the issue with the "fake news" wasn't the facts, it's that the conflict that brought them together as a story was manufactured cheaply from ideology. this had a compounding effect where the absurdity of the resulting conflict with reality drove further outrage from the other "side."

it's a pan-partisan problem. fine observation anyway, I'm provoked. to get better news, the conflict it expresses needs to be more organic. imo using community notes is way more organic than the governance model FB and formerly twiiter used.
Why should social media operators be responsible for "stopping misinformation" in the first place? That sounds a lot like the logic that was used to justify smashing the printing presses in Gutenberg's day, not to mention by countless villains of dystopian sci-fi (e.g. Fahrenheit 451), in turn based on other real-world concerns.

I think I should have a right to let others lie to me, and decide for myself if I believe them. In the alternative where someone prevents me from hearing it, that other person is deciding for me. Why should I accept that other person as more qualified to do my own thinking?

It's really strange to me how calls for banning "misinformation" in the US seem to come from the same political direction as complaints about controversial books being taken out of educational curricula.
Remembering a controversial take over the code produced/improved is evidence to me that the matter is not settled that we should be spending the extra effort to align our practices with the article. The incentives are not there.
During the CES keynotes for AMD and Nvidia yesterday the number of times the phrase "AI" was said was in the thousands. "Disgusted" is the right word. "Embarrassed" is how I felt second-hand for the obvious pandering to the stock market.
> The internet as you know it is the value you get out of ads.

No. I'm old enough to clearly remember the Internet without ads (commercial use was banned) and it was a far superior place.

>but the majority of middle-class Americans are poorer than people in the Southeast Asian backwater I’m from

Source? I find this hard to believe given the US leads the OECD in terms of household disposable income[1], never mind whatever "Southeast Asian backwater" country you're talking about. It's unlikely "US healthcare profiteering" would affect this. Healthcare spending in the US is 17.6% of GDP, which provides an upper limit on how much it can eat into income. Even if you assume all that's borne by households and subtract that from income figures, the US would still be in #2.

Not sure if you're serious. I can't remember working for any company that took more than a day to review a PR. I think this company took about 1 day to provide QA feedback and I was thinking that it's so slow.

In startup land, I got my code reviewed by the CTO within a few hours. It was rare if it required a whole day like if he was too busy.

In my current company, the other dev usually reviews and merges my code to staging within an hour. Crazy thing is we don't even write tests. A large project with no tests.
I've only been here about 1/30th as long as you, so I fully accept that I could be wrong here; but this really doesn't seem to measure up the standard of discourse that I understood to be expected on HN.

Did OP forget the world is economic driven?

The hospital software is not updated in a frequent base because it doesn't generate more money. That's why the hospitals, bakeries, hotels and many other business doesn't have UI/UX top tier profissionais as YouTube, iOS, NetFlix, Facebook, TikTok and many many other websites, systems, companies, etc have.

Simply put, because it would not make money! We leave in an world of attention economy where as much time people spend on screen as much companies make money.

It's no secret at all.

My degree is in cybersecurity. But the education was so bad that I filed a defense against repayment claim and won. So not really sure how I feel about that one… lots of wasted time which I made up teaching myself. Degree looks good on applications at least.

Bottom line I suppose is that I’m a network engineer working with a variety of clients. I enjoy the work for the most part (could do with less after hours stuff) and have fun interacting with the end users to fix their problems. The education might have been bogus, but I put in the work to learn it myself and am happy with where I’m at.
They aren’t referring to the client side of this question. Airline websites generally have the quality of any generic corporate IT project…

I assume what the parent was referring to is the backend systems like Sabre that coordinates travel and ticketing between airlines, travel agents, etc. It is a truly ancient system by today’s standards, with origins in the 1960s and mainframes. Systems like this actually have started to limit what airlines can do and how many flights they can manage.
