What If the Attention Crisis Is All a Distraction?

I know this is a Subaru hate thread on a site that knows basically nothing about cars so I’m spitting into the wind here, but this is just untrue. I’ve had 3 Subarus over a 20 year period of time, driven the hell out of all of them in snow and dirt, worked on and modified all of them, and the traction control system on my most recent one is categorically, objectively better than either of the prior two. It makes about 100 more horsepower than the earliest one and still gets better fuel economy, at least in part because of the CVT, despite weighing probably 600 pounds more. The CVT works perfectly fine for anything that isn’t doing the Rubicon trail.

The AWD is one of the few remaining permanently fully engaged systems, unlike basically every other manufacturer.

You can hate on Subarus for the stuff they’re actually bad at (fuel economy, infotainment, wind noise, head gaskets in the EJ series engines) without having to make stuff up.

It is a pretty magical experience when you have your torrents automated.

I used an RSS feed based setup for years, and my first awareness that four episodes of game of thrones and one uncensored episode of south park leaked was the notification popping up on my PC telling me that a download completed.

I've recently been using soulseek (with nicotine+) more, since a lot of unseeded or obscure things appear on there.
Strictly it's a "telematics system" rather than infotainment.
I think it’s more that they understand which side their bread is buttered on and are sucking up to the new admin. It isn’t like the political demographics of the United States magically changed on Inauguration Day.
Speaking as a digital HW designer, Gray counters (where you only ever calculate 'x+1' are actually slightly more complicated than normal binary counters, and general Gray code addition (calculate 'x+y' for arbitrary x,y) is significantly more complicated (to the extent that I've never actually seen it done in 28 years of practice - everyone figures out a way to move addition to binary values instead).

You are correct that Gray counters only ever toggle one bit at a time and have no 'glitch' states in the sense that an asynchronous counter will always capture either 'x' or 'x+1' (can't be sure which), but not any other value. This is commonly used to pass e.g. FIFO pointers (or modular counters, generally) between asynchronous clock domains.

The problem is, Gray codes (the standard, symmetric gray code, that is - there are multiple possible gray codes, but the non-standard ones are worse) are not a purely positional encoding as defined in the article.

- With a binary encoding, for all 'N' if bit N is set, you add 2^N to the calculated value.
- With a Gray encoding, for all N if (bit N XOR bit N+1) is set, you add 2^N to the calculated value - the encoding of each power of 2 is spread across 2 bits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann#Mathematical_...

Von Neumann's mathematical fluency, calculation speed, and general problem-solving ability were widely noted by his peers. Paul Halmos called his speed "awe-inspiring." Lothar Wolfgang Nordheim described him as the "fastest mind I ever met". Enrico Fermi told physicist Herbert L. Anderson: "You know, Herb, Johnny can do calculations in his head ten times as fast as I can! And I can do them ten times as fast as you can, Herb, so you can see how impressive Johnny is!" Edward Teller admitted that he "never could keep up with him", and Israel Halperin described trying to keep up as like riding a "tricycle chasing a racing car."

He had an unusual ability to solve novel problems quickly. George Pólya, whose lectures at ETH Zürich von Neumann attended as a student, said, "Johnny was the only student I was ever afraid of. If in the course of a lecture I stated an unsolved problem, the chances were he'd come to me at the end of the lecture with the complete solution scribbled on a slip of paper." When George Dantzig brought von Neumann an unsolved problem in linear programming "as I would to an ordinary mortal", on which there had been no published literature, he was astonished when von Neumann said "Oh, that!", before offhandedly giving a lecture of over an hour, explaining how to solve the problem using the hitherto unconceived theory of duality.

A story about von Neumann's encounter with the famous fly puzzle has entered mathematical folklore. In this puzzle, two bicycles begin 20 miles apart, and each travels toward the other at 10 miles per hour until they collide; meanwhile, a fly travels continuously back and forth between the bicycles at 15 miles per hour until it is squashed in the collision. The questioner asks how far the fly traveled in total; the "trick" for a quick answer is to realize that the fly's individual transits do not matter, only that it has been traveling at 15 miles per hour for one hour. As Eugene Wigner tells it, Max Born posed the riddle to von Neumann. The other scientists to whom he had posed it had laboriously computed the distance, so when von Neumann was immediately ready with the correct answer of 15 miles, Born observed that he must have guessed the trick. "What trick?" von Neumann replied. "All I did was sum the geometric series."

Show HN: Playwright page object model aware record and repl
I've recently made some huge improvements on this library.
Playwright is an automated testing library. This plugin is made to work with it when writing tests using Typescript.

It provides a page object model aware overlay on screen, and allows you to build your testing code base while the test is running and append to the test execution context while it's running.
It's made to allow extremely rapid iteration on automated tests.

Watch the video for a demonstration of its usage.
If you're familiar with Playwright or automated testing, please pull it down and try it out yourself.
Ledger CEO and Wife Are Freed After Kidnapping
From the capitalists perspective if they forgo workers then there is no need for their goods and services.

It's odd to me that the current thought is that this idea is lost on them because they want nothing more than to get rid of workers? They want more productivity from their workers for the same or slightly less cost, which they are hoping AI can squeeze out of them. Eliminate too many workers and you have to pay the ones left more as they are now specialist, and productivity gains from AI only brings production back to when they had more workers without AI and paying less for them bringing it to about even. They gain by keeping around the same amount of workers (maybe a few less--that amount to a rounding error, but not the doom being predicted), at their current job title paying the same scraps and using AI to get more productivity out of them. And in which workers will now turn around and spend their check buying said goods at a higher cost than they were paid to make them.

Unless UBI becomes a thing, capitalists know they need workers who will buy their goods and services.
> work much better with old, popular languages

I think this will improve significantly over time when when hardware becomes cheaper. As long as newer languages can map to older languages (syntax/function wise), we should be able generate enough synthetic data to make working with less known languages easier.
I never felt real comfortable with Xcode. Working on a medium sized c++ project now, and mostly using emacs. Xcode only for the debugger, which I much prefer in a GUI. CMake sets up the project, so low pain there. If on Windows, I would do the same but with Visual Studio. Usually I close the project when not debugging so I don't have 2 language servers running at once.
That’s crazy. Was it a heist or a extrajudicial thing?
You story about the one pen reminds me of something. My old chemistry teacher gave grades to how orderly people's notes looked. "How it's put on your page, it's in your head," he used to say. At the time, we school kids found it "childish". But empirically, there is some truth to that: it seems I can learn better from clean notes than from sloppy notes, so often I re-wrote things. I was wondering whether that is due to the visual nature of memory, or whether the aesthetically more pleasing appearance of the cleanly re-written notes perhaps increased motivation.

Does Gemini train on my data?
So when does Gemini train on my data? I find Gemini's public statements on data use confusing: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms

"When you use Unpaid Services, including, for example, Google AI Studio and the unpaid quota on Gemini API, Google uses the content you submit to the Services and any generated responses to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services and machine learning technologies, including Google's enterprise features, products, and services, consistent with our Privacy Policy."

"When a Service is being offered for a fee, it is considered to be a paid Service (the "Paid Services"). When you activate a Cloud Billing account, all use of Gemini API and Google AI Studio is a "Paid Service" with respect to how Google Uses Your Data, even when using Services that are offered free of charge, such as Google AI Studio and unpaid quota of Gemini API."

This seems to make some sense, but then if I go to https://aistudio.google.com/plan_information I still see the following screen even after I add my payment info on Google Cloud: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xqWTFTO_mjkvTbPfO971aKnlB7y2fVKN/view?usp=sharing

The screenshot shows for my account "DATA USED TO IMPROVE OUR PRODUCT: Yes" for the "Free of charge" panel on the left, which has a conspicuous star leading to a non-existent footnote. It is hard to tell if there is a catch somewhere. If Gemini ended up ingesting my data, I am not sure I would have much of a case against them given the explicitly ambiguous messaging on their end in my own account (might this be intentional?).

I like Gemini, but cannot commit to using them in production unless I have confidence they do not train on my data in AI Studio and through the API.

Can someone enlighten me?

> To my knowledge a contract requires (at a minimum) a meeting of minds and consideration. You cannot agree to something you did not know about.

If you use software that auto-accepts everything sent to it, it may not create a contract, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't create a prima facie reasonable expectation by the other party that you agreed to a contract. Especially if the software you intentionally set up is specifically designed to simulate a human action like clicking a button.

If that has any negative consequences for the other party, you could be on on the hook for various kinds of negligence or fraud. You might even find out you did have a contract. A corporation can be held to a contract if it's accepted by an employee who a reasonable counterparty would have expected to have the authority to accept it... even if that employee was specifically told not to accept it and therefore did not have that authority. Computers aren't the only things that can go wrong.

Try auto-submitting a bunch of Amazon orders and refusing to pay.

It probably doesn't apply for this particular email nonsense, because if you're just using some email provider that practically everybody uses, a court's naturally going to be inclined to say that you've met the ordinary standard of care. I mean, I would say it's negligent and stupid to use any of the big email providers, but I'm not in charge.

The people who should be in actual trouble would be Microsoft. But of course that's heretical and won't happen.

> And I say that's a good thing given that non-humans cannot enter into agreements, and there are plenty of non-humans who have no idea what they're getting themselves into in the current form of electronic agreements.

Billions of dollars worth of securities trading happens per day without human approval. I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually trillions. Nobody gets out of those contracts if they intentionally set up software to trade. Not even if their software has horrible bugs and submits orders they'd never have approved manually.
Seems like something to be integration tested in the future. Honestly surprised this slipped through.
Got it. I could see that being an issue.
These policies are in compliance with 60 years of US federal law.
These policies are in compliance with 60 years of US federal case law.

There policies are in compliance with 60 years of executive branch policy/guidance.

The executive branch can not change established law nor case law. The executive branch can not change executive branch policies in an 'arbitrary and capricious' manner.

These are the guardrails to stability that allow our nation to function, our stock markets to attract overseas investment, and our currency to be the worlds reserve currency.

That these 'executives' would rather jeopardize all of the above for expediency/deference from a newly elected President says quite a lot. There are no guardrails when everyone abandons them proactively. And when there are no guardrails there is not stability. And when there is no stability there is no business investment.
Show HN: TransAct, An open-source robot fleet management dashboard
We are excited to announce transAct, an open-source dashboard template for robot fleet management!

Why We Built It

Robotics companies with fleets of more than a handful of robots need web dashboards to monitor and operate their fleets. They enable non-engineers to monitor, triage and sometimes fix issues in the field, which is required for operational efficiency and to free engineers from daily interruptions. This is particularly important with a RaaS business model. But who builds these dashboards? Engineers are already spread thin due to the large number of aspects of robotics they need to attend to (hardware, firmware, drivers, robotics stack, cloud, web) so building their own web dashboards from scratch is challenging, especially since the skills required for web development are quite different from the rest of the robotics software stack.

At Transitive Robotics we see it as our mission to enable robotics companies to build their own fleet management systems quickly and easily. We’ve already developed a number of capabilities (https://transitiverobotics.com/caps/) like webrtc video streaming and remote teleop that robotics companies can install on their robots and integrate into their own dashboards. But many companies, especially smaller ones, don’t yet have web dashboards for fleet management of their own. This is why we created transAct.

Purpose

TransAct serves multiple purposes:

1. Provide a starting template for companies to build their own fleet management dashboards,

2. Serve as a reference implementation showing how to integrate Transitive capabilities into such dashboards, and

3. Show how you can use the ROS Tool React API to interact with ROS directly from the web (while avoiding the shortcomings of rosbridge + roslibjs) and the Transitive SDK to get full programmatic access to all the data provided by these capabilities.

Current Features

In the current version transAct already embeds several capabilities:

- Remote Teleop, to control your robot with low-latency video from anywhere in the world,

- Terminal, for web-based shell access without the need for a VPN,

- ROS Tool, for subscribing to ROS topics from the web, used to show robot pose, battery, and charging status in our example, and make ROS service calls,

- Configuration Management, for editing config files on your fleet hierarchically (with fleet defaults and robot specific overwrites), and

- Health Monitoring, for monitoring device diagnostics and aggregated fleet diagnostics.

We invite you to fork transAct and extend it to meet your needs and we’d love to hear your feedback and questions, either here or on our Slack community (https://transitiverobotics.com/slack).
I don't remember that particular observation being in the book since it's very much about the upper class, but that book is amazing. I used to keep an rss feed of new project gutenberg books and when that popped up I read it just based on the name and was amazed how pertinent it was a hundred years later. I haven't read anything else by him, but that one is absolutely worth it. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/833

Also since it was written when the vestiages of european feudal system still had some tiny amount of power, some of the observations about lords who owned massive estates but had no money and would refuse to take on any work, considering it "beneath them" while they starved was fascinating. It's both of it's time and timeless

I think if you have recent (not sure how recent?) HDMI ports, you can do this via a HDMI cable, which you might already use for displaying purposes? Never encountered it myself until I recently got a PS5 and noticed it and the TV shared both control and power state, so turning on the TV turned on the PS5 before I disabled HDMI CEC.

Alternatively, maybe there are adapters for HDMI that could add/emulate it/something similar?
Cool.

Does anybody have the same tool but better?

Like, surely someone already made a sandbox that is not a fullblown VM. Docker probably.
*built, not build, just fyi, as it is past tense not present tense.
I wanted to keep the product's name short and .com, .org .io, etc. domains are very difficult to get, but since both developers and designers drink a lot of coffee, I thought it would be easy to remember.

There are a few reasons for an alternative, one of the goals behind this project is to identify and incorporate all of the tooling that supports a UI/UX designer's everyday workflow directly into the editor. I found that designers still use Adobe products to tweak vector and raster graphics, so they end up paying for both Figma and Adobe. Sure, there are some plugins available in Figma that supplement missing features, but a lot of them are not free, so you end up still paying for more than seats. Having things incorporated directly should also mean that the tools are easier to find and use and were not just slapped in as an afterthought.

I'm also hoping to solve a lot of the interface and usability problems in a different way so that it's appealing to people who find Figma confusing.

After the bulk of the editor is complete, I plan to incorporate even more fun features that support designers that would not be possible with an extension or a plugin on another platform, like better search and repository features.
Thank you for sharing your concerns. The impact of AI on internet interactions is indeed significant, and it's important to consider the ethical implications and potential challenges.

Agreed on all points! Very plausible that 250W is peak; other motors on the market vary whether they state peak or sustained so the waters are a little muddy (e.g. I know that the popular BBS02 "750W" motor can put out over 1kW peak).
