Generally speaking if you're going the speed limit you don't need to "slam on your breaks (sic)" to stop before a light turns red unless you didn't have enough time to clear the intersection anyway.

The A4 is priced on parity with model 3, the Q5 on parity with model Y, so I guess that might be a hint. Why buy a dirty diesel when you can buy a Tesla for tfe same amount?
There's a lot of drama around the MrBeast YouTube channel lately—some of it justified, a lot of it manufactured...

I think the main thing is Jimmy Donaldson (MrBeast) has stated numerous times his goal in life (at least publicly) is to make the best YouTube videos possible. Realistically, a lot of the things that feed into drama are related to that goal: overwork, inadequate planning. They take 'move fast and break things' to the extreme to make the videos they make, and unfortunately the 'things' they break are often people.

The tough thing is, at least until recently, it seemed like MrBeast and the 'Beastification' of YouTube (where all content is loud, shouty, super-quick cuts) was inevitable. And in many corners (especially kids-centric content) it kind-of is. But luckily I think some people have pulled back. I feel like we're currently in kind of the anti-thesis of the '2001 Space Odyssey' era of entertainment. Instead of long, thoughtful content for consumption, it's fast-paced, zero-thought content with splashy colors.

I was all set on a model-3, but found the quality lacking at the price. Bought a BMW 3-series hybrid at a comparable price, and is so happy about my choice. Their fully electric cars are fine too.
With the dystopian turn of Musk, I will never consider a Tesla again.
I like this - a huge part of our engineering work is ETL pipelines so giving them some data to process makes things a lot harder to fake.
Would you rather they floor it and beat the straight through traffic when the light turns green? 1-2 cars entering the intersection and then getting through when traffic clears on the red is less worse than the alternative.
Is there an 'open source Slack' type thing anywhere?

Yes, you could implement image similarity search using embeddings: Create embeddings for the entire image set, save the embeddings in a database, and add embeddings incrementally as new images come in. To search for a similar image, create the embedding for the image that you are looking for and compute the cosine similarity between that embedding and the embeddings in your database. The closer the cosine similarity is to 1.0 the more similar the images.

For choosing a model, the article mentions the AWS Titan multimodal model, but you’d have to pay for API access to create the embeddings. Alternatively, self-hosting the CLIP model [0] to create embeddings would avoid API costs.

Follow-up question: Would the embeddings from the llama3.2-vision models be of higher quality (contain more information) than the original CLIP model?

The llama vision models use CLIP under the hood, but they add a projection head to align with the text model and the CLIP weights are mutated during alignment training, so I assume the llama vision embeddings would be of higher quality, but I don’t know for sure. Does anybody know?

(I would love to test this quality myself but Ollama does not yet support creating image embeddings from the llama vision models - a feature request with several upvotes has been opened [1].)

The bright side of roundabouts and (curbs) annd curves is that they create better (more cautious, observing) drivers, with minor consequences (like hitting a curb).

For lowering the high speed, we can also stack roundabouts, curbs (ie diverge and coverage the road).

The other positive of raised curbs is that we can add shrubbery as a natural traffic barrier, and there are some nice safety impacts from this too, such as reduced road runoff / flash flooding - and environmental factors like shade and cooling.
I was so surprised when I realized stat holidays were paid as a % of the previous 30 days salary in canada.
Some people don't have friends they can play with :sadge:
1-lane roundabouts are OK

More than 1-lane and they're a disaster waiting to happen
> With the 4-way stop there is never a time when all traffic is stopped and the drivers are always paying attention to what other drivers are doing. With the walk signal there is a brief moment in time when the drivers are doing nothing but waiting for you and are all stopped so you as a pedestrian can account for them in preparation just before you get your signal and make your move.

That's... not true? With light traffic a 4 way stop should have no cars at all at it most of the time, leaving pedestrians with the right of way, whereas with a traffic light there will always be a road with priority until a pedestrian hits the button. Requiring cars to pay attention to the condition of the intersection is the explicit design goal.

This was laid out very clearly in the article we just read.
Probably correlates with remote work.
I remember my father telling me that was how it was supposed to be done, as the yellow light for oncoming traffic would convince them to stop and give you the time to complete the left turn. It only worked when they weren't also running the yellow light! These days I prefer waiting to turn so that I'm not stuck out in the middle of the intersection when the traffic light changes.

Is AI Ready to Be a Mid-Level Engineer?
Luckily for Tesla their share price seems to have been disconnected from car sales for a long time.

But will it continue as a meme stock? Will it pivot into AI? Or just suddenly collapse in price one day?
Training wheels aim to maximise the utility of the bicycle (i.e. gears and pnumatic tyres) for a person of certain age, at the cost of learning how to actually ride a bike.

I feel there are lots of parallels in e.g. Maths education in the more generalised form:

In education, skills that allow you to utilise technology are prioritised and these are often directly opposed to skills needed for mastery.
I bring a bottle of Malôrt to all holiday gatherings so everyone can have a shot together. I actually like it, but it’s always fun seeing a new person’s Malört face. Recently someone described it as tasting like boat cleaner.
Woke ideas also collide with general humanism. "I don't see color" is an example here.

But the ideas of humanism are better and woke people often dislike that their ideas get rejected. Still, people were made fun off on TV for expressing "old" humanistic ideas in favor of idpol. I don't think that some woke ideas fly very high on an intellectual level so that too much discussion would not even be necessary. Not that the criticism is taken seriously if you have your dogma at hand.

There are well known dynamics that even putting people in camp blue or red creates conflict. Woke ignores these dynamics completely, but did further ideas of that kind to the letter. Current conflicts are further empiric evidence that some assumptions do indeed hold.
I went to public school (not in SF) but the only "wokeness" was historically accurate — erm — history classes. We didn't have books banned in the library or English courses either.

The lack of physical safety is a product of policy (or rejection of) by the same people whining about "wokeness".
Just that finding a good DM is hard
I think it's a combination of things not being bad enough to actually motivate change, and the anti-union propoganda/union-busting from the entities in power.
You uncharitably speak for all pedestrians.
It does sometimes seem that they think they should be able to walk/bike without concern for their own safety. I see pedestrians step into traffic and bicycles blow traffic signals and stop signs all the time. Safety and situational awareness is everyone's responsibility.
I'd love to see some human & machine co-op for DM. That'd be super helpful.
Same. I ended up picking up a Rivian, though until the R2 comes out that's a pretty big price to pay for personal beliefs.

I love the car though, quite happy. Hope they do well with the R2, Tesla could use some cheaper/modern competition.
Police stopped enforcing in my city too. And 10% of drivers know this. People will keeping chipping away at the safety margins until people start dying. Then maybe police will do their job and those 10% of drivers will start worrying about manslaughter charges.

Hi! London.
> Apparently this guys is unaware that pedal-less balance bikes for kids already exist, and are quite popular.

Author here. This was the point of the post -- but fwiw I did in fact learn about pedal-less bikes shortly after I learned about the "take the pedals off" method. I figured if I went forty years without learning about this, how many of my other peers did too? [1] These bikes were not available when I was a kid, and never came on my radar for any of my three young children until now.

The other point of the post is to make the connection that if this obvious-in-retrospect method makes teaching something difficult easier in this domain, how many other domains am I missing applying a similar method to, no matter how "obvious" ?

I believe one can readily agree that https://example.com/profiles/gooosle and https://example.com/profiles/mdaniel are not sequential and thus not subject to enumeration in any reasonable way. A concrete example of defense against this is: please link to the HN username of an account which has never posted

The other very common pattern is https://example.com/profiles/852c1a9a-29ae-4638-9d82-50e0d40... or its b36 encoding which are shitty for reading over the phone but otherwise definitely safe from enumeration
> Anyone telling you to hate your history or your people is grooming you and trying to take advantage of you.

I'm with the rest of your points here but this point seems like an irrelevant, unsubstantiated musing to push an agenda.

Nobody is thinking "wow, a sociologist's opinion about labor in the 1700s makes me hate the thought of unionizing in God's-given-year-of 2025"
I noticed this as well and it’s been the first real moment where I feel “old” as a dev.

I should acknowledge that our industry has always had some form of this - but it was contained predominantly to mailing lists/forums/blogs and eventually Twitter. It felt like all of these mediums (yes, even Twitter) required some form of proof that you’re an authority or experienced on what you’re writing about. I don’t feel like that’s what’s happening with YouTube/Twitch here; these creators may very well be skilled/experienced/authorities (and I am explicitly not saying they are or aren’t) but I don’t see anywhere near the level of healthy skepticism that I feel like we’ve always had in our industry.

Maybe it’s a generational divide as the window of developers shifts. Maybe it’s just the sheer size of the distribution channels now. I’m open to being wrong.

tl;dr: Something about these mediums turbo charges the information in a way that I’m not sure is healthy.
I think it's more about the challenge/curiosity of creating the implementation. I'm not sure these AI driven text-RPGs will find long term audiences.
In trading, spoofing[1] is placing insincere orders to generate a signal, and presumably influence other participants' behavior, without an intention of actually having those orders filled. Bad actors spoof trades because it works. Spoofing is illegal, and rightly so, although enforcement may be a bit lax.

I guess, we're now seeing the rise of spoofing in job postings. I, for one, find it quite tiring. I think there's a parallel. Bad actors spoof job postings because it works. What can we do to make it less effective or less worthwhile?

It probably depends if the audience is intelligent and open-minded, but I agree, it will always be biased towards their preconceptions.
L'Union européenne
I have the same experience working in the public sector. Doesn't mean I never get burnout, but I honestly can't imagine working in most of the IT industry these days.
It seems like these numbers are purely based on Greenhouse. I bet that many companies use less sophisticated approaches like just sending resumes to a mailbox and those have higher fake rates.
Legality aside, is that not kind of the issue here? Lights in a high foot traffic area could incentivize people to speed up to make it before the red, which is less predictable and has cars traveling at faster speeds compared to a stop sign, which requires all cars to stop. Embellished yes, but point of the article showing that this intersection is now more dangerous to pedestrians stands imo.
Half of the comments on this HN section are

- EU cookie banners and GDPR

- How to display prices in the EU

While both are "consumer protection regulation" they are also extra work for early startups. A good case study on how the EU bureaucracy affects a startup.
People are generally good at context. Tone, expression, etc, all of these things are parts of communication that do matter. Assume your audience is at least as smart as you are.
Tangent, I may laughably use Malware Bytes but when I'm image searching on Google and it stops me from opening a picture with a adware alert. I'm like "oh damn"... I use an adblocker/generally don't do anything sus on my main OS but yeah. I'm still unsure am I safe? (paranoia ensues)

A similar presentation bug that stands out to me, the "Public Domain by Author" copyright claims are non-standard and don't actually do anything legally speaking in the US or many other world jurisdictions, and feel kind of silly/out-of-place. Maybe they are a political statement, but I think that just makes them more annoying, not less. This is why CC0 [0] exists and provides a ton of useful explanations and FAQ and suggestions on dedicating works to the public domain in a way that legally works/matters. Also as a reminder CC0 is not an OSI-approved code license and for that you should consider using something like CC0 "dual licensed" with "1-Clause BSD" [1] for software code. (Though CC0 is directly FSF approved now [and generally considered GPL family compatible], with suggested License verbiage in the CC0 FAQ.)

Micropayment systems don't work well because there are free options. Convincing people to pay any amount of money is incredibly hard.

Would micropayments result higher quality? Maybe, but until you have a critical mass no one can really tell.

Free options are more likely reach critical mass and dominate. Paid options thus die off, starved of attention.
> Bicycles achieve balance through the gyroscopic effect

No they don't. If that were true you could cycle along at a 45 degree angle. They balance because you steer into a fall.
SK & JP have battery talent as well
>This can only mean one thing

Another "one thing" that it suggests is Tesla vehicles are not breaking down, and current owners are happy keeping them as long-term owners.
You see this a lot in strange ways these days. Rage bait, feigned ignorance, and things like that. It’s anti-quality and it’s just as effective (if not more) than quality content.
Different markets have different needs. I get that it may not matter for you but the removal of indicator stalks is a deal breaker in countries where you’re required to indicate both on and off roundabouts. Especially when those roundabouts are small. You have to first flick the stalk turn the wheel and flick the stalk while turning. Tricky even with a stalk but legally required and you will be ticketed in places for this.

I found it impossible to do with the tiny buttons on the steering wheel.

Everytime I mention this people argue the indicator buttons on the wheel are fine for them but it’s absolutely the reason I personally did not buy a Tesla. Different markets have different needs and the latest models don’t work in Europe.

I actually think they are dangerous and should be marked as unsafe given my own experience. You do risk a crash trying to find buttons on a tiny wheel.
Now we need a tutorial how to take the pedals off the bike.
So you do not damage the crank because of the opposite threading left vs right.
I actually agree with you that Linux development has been captured by corporations. Except that I believe it's not sustainable. Eventually the Shareholders are going to come knocking and ask why so much engineering time and money is being wasted on some hippie-dippy Open Source junk and not returning value to them. It needs AI in it, or maybe a Linux Pro subscription with ads for the freeloaders. This is why I'm glad the kernel is tied to the GPL, so we can fork when their interests stop aligning with ours.

Any significant differences in charging experience? Can you use Tesla Supercharging network?
I remember a few years ago I posted that throughout my career, during market ups and downs, my average application:interview:offer ratio was around 100:10:1 and half of HN thought I was exaggerating, or there was something wrong with my interviewing, or that I was shotgunning my resume, and so on. We've got an industry full of young employees who are seeing the first bear market of their lives.

500:x:1 doesn't seem outrageous at all in a down market. The 2:1 interview:offer ratio is actually outstanding, especially where the industry is today.

Second point is that worker strikes are a thing of the past. If you want to strike, it is the consumers that have the power. So rather than getting all programmers to get together, have all users of Facebook just stop using it for one week. In my opinion only.
> One of the recruiters that contacted me didn't even know I worked in games

I get that all the time with my setup. "you look like a good fit and have lots of experience for XYZ tech". Nowhere on my resume does it even mention it. Sometimes I have to look it up and see what they are talking about. One of them even went on and on about my current job. Despite it only having the start date in that spot and no exp on what I do here.

It is blindingly obvious they did not read my resume. They are keyword scumming and hoping for the best.
Like others here, I doubt UBI in the US will look like relaxation and leisure.

But I think of 3 demographics the most on this topic:

1. People with disabilities

A bit different situation, but one of my siblings is somewhat unique in their disabilities (I speak publicly about the topic), and their SSI money is not what you would call "rolling in it." They have still had to work very low level jobs to pay for their Section 8 housing.

2. Most people who are bad with money

Also, we're friends with more than a few couples who already receive hefty sums from the govt (for some reasons, understandably so); yet even at $150k in the South, they're unable to make it work. They are blackholes of money for kava, video games, eating out, Disney trips, etc. They're all useless people, in my not so humble opinion.

3. Entrepreneurial folks

Then there's my wife and I: no interest in UBI. We don't want it and wouldn't take it. For me, I enjoy what I do and don't like to be dependent on anyone, if I can help it. I grew up poor, so I want to remember everyday that if I don't apply myself, I won't eat.

Each of these demographics is going to respond differently. IMHO, #1 needs more support generally, #2 no amount of support or money will fix their problems, #3 I would get frustrated if it was forced on me, even by circumstance.
His breadth of knowledge constantly amazes me
docker compose is one of our most requested features, we're working on that!
Musk has been using his money to influence politics (including in the US, accross the board). Buying a Tesla is giving him money and thus supporting that behavior. It seems obvious to me (a European living in the US) that, if you disagree with his politics, you should not buy his cars. This also apply to people living in the US but, having seen a strongly pro choice north Californian friend buy a Tesla recently, I do not know if US citizens think in those terms.
This has changed very recently. The US default was “training wheels” well into the 2000’s, and they are terrible.

Balance bikes are the way.
I'm not really a car person but finding Teslas looking quite dated compared to other options, especially Polestar, in the roads these days. At one point you saw a Tesla and it had some kind of 'cool' factor by both reputation and aesthetics, but Musk has ruined the reputation and time + competition has ruined the aesthetics.
Yes, you are right, "proprietary firmware blob on the GPU which is used to boot the Pi" is what I recall as a big Pi problem. So my original wording is correct that you need proprietary blobs to run Raspberry Pi, isn't it?
They also now sell "barrel aged Malört" in a few markets (perhaps only Chicago and Minneapolis). The general consensus is that it's an improvement but not by much.

I don't drink much but usually have a bottle of Malört in the kitchen for special occasions. It lasts forever because nobody wants to drink a lot of it, and always creates a lot of entertainment at parties.

For some weird reason this stuff is incredibly common at Defcon.
He actively engaged now in EU politics.

It's Musk.

Me, and thousands others, loved Tesla cars. Now you can buy a better, more reliable EV for the same money from a company not owned by a man hell-bent on forcing the rise of the far-right in Europe.

If Rupert Murdoch made cars, I wouldn't buy one of those either.
That fixes the issue for cars but it sounds no better for pedestrians than the intersection in the article, right?
Musk isn't a good engineer. Lol. He's never really invented anything, just given money/resources to smarter people. Musk is good at sounding smart. He isn't a talented engineer.

A good recent example would be Musk getting caught paying someone to rank up his video game accounts while taking credit. That's very on point for Musk. Pay someone, take credit.

The Tesla naming is funny because musk is more of the "Evil Edison" than he is a Tesla.

I put Edison in quotes because Edison isn't nearly as bad as Tesla fanboys like to think.
Tried it when I was in Chicago. If you enjoy bitter amari like Cynar or Averna you won't find this particularly especially bracing. It's an interesting local curiosity, but it's sort of _just_ bitter with not much else in terms of flavour.
He is wrong on many things simply from not sharing the fundamental values that makes Europeans and Americans different.
Yet, even on the things he’s right on, it is not his responsibility as a foreign agent, to change. He can fix his adopted home country instead.
