“I think the honest answer is that we’re going to have to upgrade people’s Hardware 3 computer for those that have bought Full Self-Driving,” he said. “That’s going to be painful and difficult, but we’ll get it done.”

And I'm sure Hardware 4 is going to be enough. And when lidar prices come down to peanuts, I'm sure Teslas will add that too so Hardware 4 will become obsolete.
In isolation I'd think of it as cute turn of phrase, but I've heard it about a dozen times unironically using 'terraforming' in place of 'landscaping.' I think you could artfully call Las Vegas a terraforming project on account of it being in the middle of the desert and needing water brought in, but otherwise it's just using the wrong word.
Why I rebuilt ProseMirror's renderer in React
Howdy folks. This is a somewhat long (… sorry!) deep dive into several years’ worth of work that started when I was a staff engineer at The New York Times and has followed me into open source development in the years since I left to do my own thing! In it, I break down the issues we’ve faced while attempting to integrate React and ProseMirror — there are loads of code snippets and live demos in there. I hope that at least one other person finds this interesting!
Which part isn't true?
Look at the rest of his comments. Can't reason with him, so just move on.
I thought it meant AI messed up a query.
(Almost-)linear models do linear things, it seems, and the Fourier transform is the quintessential linear thing.

It is also an extremely neat piece of the real world, but I’m hesitant to guess your background and offer an explanation because your phrasing makes me suspect an engineering one. With concepts usually being the first to be culled in a course targeted at engineers, there could be quite a bit of concept debt to pay off before I could really offer something I could honestly call an explanation.

Have you tried the 3Blue1Brown video on the topic[1]? It does not AFAIR offer any answers as to why the Fourier transform should exist or be useful, but it does show very well what it does in the immediate sense.

While this is mostly true, with how much software is web based, and how web browser support is essentially only on supported OSes, OS support does matter.

This is less of an issue for DOS and Windows 95/98 because software in that era was offline-first.
Patch Package OTP 27.2.2 Released – Erlang News
Yes, C++ developers seem particularly prone to adding unnecessary complexity. I'm not sure why that is, but they feel compelled to only program the most generic, ultra flexible solutions, even though it'll likely only every get used in fairly simple ways. But you forever have to pay the cost of that complexity for virtually zero benefit.
Didn't want to come off as too foamer ;)
Don't ignore the importance of the phrase "management decision".

When the AES fails to activate because of a bug in the firmware, can you interrogate the machine? No. Can you ask the oem why they hired an intern to write the code and no test plan? No. Can you ask the brake why its design was chosen over others? No. That kind of accountability is not possible in those kinds of systems. And that's why proper engineering is a profession with standards, traceability, and accountability.

If an executive at Boeing directed supervisory staff to falsify logs to maintain throughput, and a traceable failure led to fatalities, I expect that individual to be criminally charged.
Apple has a rental model like this as well, dating back to the iPod Video days. It still exists for the AppleTV.

For people who only watch a couple movies per month, this is cheaper, with more variety, than any streaming service. While also avoiding the trap of forgotten subscriptions that aren’t being used.
Of course my premise doesn’t hold, and the glaringly obvious cause is historical inequality. This doesn’t mean that the FAA should mess with its hiring process in an ill-conceived and very likely illegal attempt to make it look like the problem doesn’t exist.

But, to me, it would be absurd to suggest that the air traffic controllers should be “diverse” in the sense that a “minority” group should be represented in excess of its representation in the overall population, that there aren’t enough black people the US for a fair hiring process to achieve this, and that therefore an unfair process should be used to increase this sort of “diversity”. That’s all kinds of wrong!

Tooling for asciidoc (last time I used it) was super sparse and next to unusable. There was primarily one underlying engine everyone relied on to do cross-filetype generations, and the available editors was pretty bad as well. Of the few free ones, the recommended list was like:

- JetBrains Plugin
- VSCode Plugin

I wanted to like it, but doing anything was a bit of a pain. If I need that level of structure, I'd rather work with something like Typst. Otherwise Markdown works fine.
Reddit was never normie hostile. It may have not been mainstream but hostile to your average user, no. You logged in with a browser like Facebook, you could subscribe or not to any subreddit you wish, those subscriptions would show up on any browser/mobile app you logged in on, everything was stored for you server side. Centralization is what most normal people expect. They don't want to futz around with remember things or having to setup the clients every time they switch. They want it all there every time on every device.
No version control ?
It did a 'test' yesterday with a mass ban then an un-ban.

I'll bet it does happen after they have evaluated their 'test'.

Also, not a joke, this program contains the word "equity" ("the Director of National Intelligence is required to annually report data related to the Vulnerabilities Equities Process") so it will probably be frozen or cancelled.
My meatspace brain can do fast accurate math up to about three digit results. After than I fall back to iterative processes with chain-of-thought, and possibly physical scratch space. My brain can however do magnitude assessment and modular assessment in near-constant time too, which I use to verify the correctness of the chain-of-thought result.

Other comments say that DDoS are common, not my experience though.
I run a couple of API/SAAS sites and DDoSes are rare. Sites are in Canada and Brazil if that matters, although I won't disclose what data-centers.
Most strange thing is that no one demanded any ransom during those DDoS attacks ever. Just some flooding for 1-2 days. Most of the times I did't even care - servers are on 10G ports and I pay 95% percentile for the traffic with a cap on final bill. Sites are geo-fenced by nftables rules, only countries of interest are allowed.
on the other hand, i'd be very weary of anyone eating Trump's chili recipe
I don't think you can rely on "no one will smash US institution X because that would be bad for everyone" any more.

Rollies are ok (I have one :) but for TLRs, the thing to have is the Mamiya 330C. Great viewfinder, optional prism, and interchangeable lenses. I have one and have used it quite a lot. Lovely photos, but heavy camera. OTOH, completely indestructable. You could pound nails with the thing.

There is a price to pay for the control they’re trying to maintain. That price is called profit, in most cases.
We have pretty good evidence that increasing consumption of saturated fat increases risk of cardiovascular disease, so I’m not sure why we’d think frying eggs in lard and butter would be health promoting above frying them in a processed vegetable oil.
Viaplay started as a side gig to Nordic Entertainment Group so they started in the cloud and never questioned the decision again, I also got the impression that leadership didn't trust the tech competency and they didn't hire to fix it either. CDN providers are arguably better at CDN than we were, but it's just so expensive.

Regarding why the company tanked, I think it was just a part of a bigger problem with inefficient operations, bloat and also going all-in investing in sports without acquiring enough customers.

The Viaplay app(s) are quite bad so people find other ways to watch what they want.
IDK, the more I learn the more it seems to me that Fourier transform is reality's cheat code. It keeps showing up everywhere.

Like, the other day I learned[0] that if you shine a light through a small opening, the diffraction pattern you get on the other side is basically the Fourier transform of the aperture outline.

(Yes, this also implies that if you take a Fourier transform of an image and make a diffraction grating off the resulting pattern, projecting light through it should paint you the original image.)

University Linux User Group I would say is already not normies.

When I say normie, they are not posting on Hacker News and never heard of Y Combinator ;) They are your non tech friends and a lot of open source needs to interact with them where they are. Where they are is Discord.
Most likely these vulnerabilities were known by adversaries and they decided to report these to make it more difficult for those adversaries to attack.

Fair point that it wasn't quoted. Here's a summary: https://www.twitterlayofflawsuit.com/case-summaries
Its more like <= 2-3 reps to achieve roughly equivalent muscle growth - but the science here is still shaky since studies contradict each other all the time due to so much individual variance. Some studies show consistently going 2 reps from failure vs going to failure all the time result in roughly equivalent muscle gains, but from what I've read and watched the running hypothesis seems to be this is due to to volume being roughly equated. i.e. Going 2 reps from failure all the time means your rep count can stay still pretty high across sets, whereas going to failure typically results in the first set having more reps but higher dropoff per set leading to roughly equivalent volume overall.

But nonetheless it doesn't mean you have to go that far to get any gains at all, up to a point. It depends on whether your goal is maximal growth vs getting some growth at all and just looking for health benefits.

Regarding the lower volume to maintain, like I said before - anybody who got to a significant amount of muscle mass would likely have already been accustomed to frequent strain/hard training, but yes I agree.

And yeah a lot of this is hard to generalize since studies show so much individual variance to training that it makes it hard to generalize. But regardless, just train hard and you'll see benefits whether you do minimal sets or many sets lol.

Another thing is many beginners have no idea what real failure is, so while they may be able to not hit failure and see growth, its still recommended to take some sets all the way to failure. Beginners tend to underestimate how much more they really have since they have lower pain tolerance/adaptation to straining their muscles than others. They often are actually 5+ reps from failure when they would have estimated they were only 1 or 2.
Not sure if your pun was intended, but 'wait' probably works so well because of the models being trained on text structured like your comment, where "wait" is followed by a deeper understanding.
Yeah I'm definitely only speaking in terms of rockets. In terms of achievements I think China is probably #1 overall, but it's close -- SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission puts them well ahead in terms of human spaceflight. That said if we just dropped the whole SLS nonsense and started dedicating NASA's $20 billion+ per year to actually doing stuff, our achievements would rapidly surpass given the edge in rocketry.

Artemis definitely isn't going to be putting anybody on the Moon. It again relies on the SLS which is just an endless money pit. But I do think it'll be interesting to see if SpaceX gets there before China. But I think the big picture is on Mars. I expect whoever gets their first will probably foretell who dominates space for the next century. Because once you can put men on Mars, the entire Solar System starts to viably become your playground.

Actually, it’s closer to Tor, but hardcoded to two hops, and hop 1 and 2 are always different (audited) organizations.

I wish they’d just used Tor though.
I have been around quite a while. I remember rotary phones and party lines. I have seen a lot and done a lot. I have lived through many “the sky is falling” events. I offer my unvarnished insight, take it or leave it.

This is not me “thinking about” or “supposing” — I speak from experience working with many federal agencies (including NIH) and U.S. universities.

- I have watched formerly objective journals slide down the slippery slope of editorializing, to the point of questioning the reliability of the studies they publish.

- I have talked with prestigious professors who were quite distressed about their universities (yes, plural) being bought out wholly by foreign interests.

- I have had frank discussions with researchers saying it’s not about the science or the mission - it’s about the money.

- I have had frank discussions with senior government leaders explicitly explaining how they (often unlawfully) manipulate the system to line their pockets.

- I have seen so much government funding denied because the lead was not the right sex or did not have the right color skin. (Having been on the inside of many source selection events, it most frequently boils down to favoritism and kickbacks, with ideology being the excuse for the outcome.)

- And pharmaceutical companies, like Novartis? I have watched their drug pushing in person, calling on doctors offices, borderline bribes, and strategies such as a pharmaceutical sales team wining and dining a doctor, using fine food and pretty women to push their wares. (It takes quite a bit of self control to avoid going on a long diatribe about how positively evil the pharmaceutical companies are.)

The whole damned system is corrupt to the core. The root of the corruption is not ideology — it is money. Ideology is the veneer applied to make change palatable to the public. Congress discreetly turned a blind eye until the problem got out of hand. Gerrymandering and winner-take-all politics distorted the proper functioning of Congress. Runaway inflation was the first time the structural problems significantly leaked into the public eye.

Taxes are levied on the American people and collected under threat of violence. That money should first and foremost go toward our collective safety and common defense. Instead, there is a long line of people, hands out, asking "How much will you pay me to not riot in the streets?" The whole system has gone off the rails. Competition for resources, which are no longer so abundant, breeds conflict. Congress has had decades to correct course. They did not. Why? Because nobody is willing to compromise. The incessant argument of “I am right and you are wrong” has lead to a significant cultural shift, which is what we are experiencing now.

What is happening at NIH and NSF has nothing to do with line items or ROI. It is about being swept up in a large cultural revolution precipitated by economic mismanagement and inflamed by a strategy of gradual Orwellian newspeak that has been spreading since the 1990s.

Timothy Snyder's book "On Freedom" might be a good read for you. It's about this common (but quite recent) fallacy that freedom means only freedom of government interference or oppression, rather than true personal freedom being something that needs to be built and maintained by society at large -- which would be the core role of government.

In simple terms: how free do you think you would truly be to lead life the way you want if there were no institutions that produce and distribute electricity, manage communications networks, research and produce medicine, provide emergency services, build transportation infrastructure... something to think about. Few modern westerners would equate the idea of "freedom" with that of fully self-sufficient, isolated hermit life with everything that entails.

A lot of people today probably simply forgot how much of their cushy lifestyle was made possible by government, because they never had to work or fight to build it.
This is all so brutal. I can’t believe you people are discussing such things so nonchalantly
> hard to even name an app built in the last 5-10 years by a 3rd party in Apples own tech. Everything is just Electron or cross frameworks

Was 5-10 years ago was the last time you used MacOS? Or do I live in a bubble? Because your statement sits opposite of my perception of things. Maybe I don't use enough apps to say for sure. I don't use most of these, but here are some that I can think of off-hand. You can tell me if these are too old, some of them may be I don't know.

Starting with ones recently seen on HN:

- pISSStream

- Ice

- Ghostty

- Stats

- NetNewsWire

- Wealthfolio

- Orion Browser

- Iina

- Dato, Velja + most others from Sindre Sorhus

- Proxyman

- Transmission

- SwiftBar

- AppLite

- MonitorControl

- BetterDisplay

- Maccy

- CodeEdit

- Does HandBrake count?

- Zed?

There's also a number of sites/lists dedicated to these types of apps. Sometimes it feels like there are too many apps even.
Boiling this argument into "being cool or not" is disingenuous when we're talking about a person directly threatening your current way of life. Just two cents coming from a citizen of a European country where he's attempting to meddle with the politics. Probably getting a Korean car next, despite them being objectively worse and more expensive for my needs.

> Jansen presented his findings to 20 to 30 colleagues in which he suggested that the eight patients previously diagnosed with the novel neurological syndrome, "represent a group of misclassified clinical diagnoses", and that they "died from a variety of causes, including cancer, Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer's disease"

It seems this isn’t that complex of a case really though? Upon autopsy they just had normal issues.
That's not power.

That's information access, and yes, they are getting that, and that's not unexpected either. How else would they do their job?

When I’m really brain-tired but have downtime, I’ll 1) do nothing and just think in silence, 2) listen to a podcast or music or 3) watch Netflix.

Spotify and Netflix are definitely media apps but they don’t quite have that same negative and addictive effect that normal social media apps do.
> Even if I'd simply "forgotten" to cancel,

But you didn't. You clearly stated that the burden of cancelling was too high: " The gym staff admitted to remembering that I attempted to cancel because I was moving to a place with no Anytime Fitness locations; they refused to let me cancel my contract early without me showing them my new lease, which I didn't have yet"

This is the root of the problem. Not the "prohibition to charge for services you've subscribed to but don't use".
Bar exam is different because it's just taking a test. Testing is really easy to scale.

This is more not allowing something who dropped out of law school due to academics to be readmitted because law school slots are precious if your goal is to make X amount of lawyers per year.
This is a common form of Gaslighting. The issue is clearly less about the rate than it is the agency. However true, when e.g. driving we feel a degree of agency, i.e. "If I drive defensively and pay attention my chances of an accident are small". Being in an enclosed space with somebody more physically powerful than you leaves you with very little (if any) ability to do anything about the situations that arise.

Probably not, trump's first term he was all for allowing ransomware. And the only reason we started seeing a strategy for mitigating was because of Biden. Since trump is all in on crypto and the fact that russia is the main beneficiary of ransomware, I highly expect cybercrime to ramp up as the current admin is positioned to benefit directly.
Hmm. You're in bargaining stage or what?

fwiw, read/listen/watch actual events instead of some "professional's opinion". Then make up your own mind.
Reminds me when in school I had to do a presentation about ways to defend against malware. I showed a few software examples (among other things) and ended with "the most powerful anti-malware ever, compatible with every other anti-malware, adds a strong security layer to them, protects your passwords, prevents you from opening spam, from clicking unknown links, from replying to phishing, almost impossible to uninstall by a hacker, and lots of other powerful features: Common Sense™".

One of the other students came to me after class and said "hey, that last software seems really promising, but I never heard about it. What was it again?"
These old movies have already made their money. Anything they can get now is just gravy.

It’s a Wonderful Life is popular because the copyright expired and TV stations could play it for free. Playing it so much got people to watch, and now it’s a classic. It bombed originally.

Putting old movies on YouTube gives them a chance at a second life, and the studio doing it, means they can still earn some money on something that would otherwise just sit in a vault somewhere.
