My rough mental Intel driver matrix is something like this (might not be entirely correct):

iGPU:

Usually, KMD/DRI/Vulkan should work as-is if you use a reasonably recent kernel and mesa, but video acceleration sure is a bit of a mess.
In France there is a detailled report of a Tesla in a similar accident, it end up speeding over 100km/h and killed a cyclist.

What's interesting is that after a red light acceleration was initially inhibited (don't remember exactly why), driver pressed on the accelerator more and more up to almost 100% but the car was not speeding up much.

Then when inhibition was lifted the car basically started a quarter mile and the driver was overwhelmed and just steered the car without lifting the accelerator until it crashed :(.

Edit:
In this accident too, the driver thought he tried to stop but with no effect.
AEBS was triggered, but the driver missed the notification and just accelerated more when the car started slowing down. A residual pressure in the breaking system meant that acceleration was initially limited.

Show HN: Twelve70 – Outfit generator and digital Closet
Hello HN! I built Twelve70, a menswear app that helps users maximize their wardrobes and make smarter outfit decisions.
It uses an algorithm based on color theory, style principles, and personal preferences to generate outfits.
Users input their closets, and the app suggests combinations that fit their style and existing wardrobe, making dressing easier and more intentional. It also reduces decision fatigue every morning.

There are the iOS and android apps available if you'd like a better experience.
I think it comes down to his personal conduct. Specifically, just as I said, I think he actively tries to harm people who might inconvenience him or cause him damage to his public image.
In short, I see him as a bully.

One of the great examples of this is the infamous "Pedo guy" incident in which he showed himself as very unempathetic and petty the moment people dismissed him as he attempted to hastily insert himself into a tragic moment.

He's also regularly sued people exercising their free speech to comment on or criticise his financial interests, knowingly attempting to drown influential people he doesnt like in legal fees and frivolous lawsuits.

In the past he has participated in doxing governmental employees who might cause him financial damages, often encouraging his followers to harass beuraucrats and lawyers who are just doing their legal jobs.

There are plenty of examples of Elon regularly engaging in bullying of others who may not have access to the resources he does, its not just limited to these few examples.

In my eyes, any measure of success or wealth will never excuse how a person conducts themselves in public. And I think Elon no longer thinks that the rules apply to him as so many are willing to overlook his behavior due to worshiping his money and influence.
Elon's nazi salute is the perfect example of this.

So my original statement still holds.
Neuralink has a very large mountain to climb when it comes to consumer trust. Products in the Healthcare industry can massively impact people's lives, especially when they dont work as intended.
Any company that participates in this space is morally and ethically required to be empathetic to the lives that they impact.
And this level of empathy is not something that I see coming from the man behind neuralink which I think should disqualify it as a company with the potential to impact a lot of people.
If it's too big to include in a script tag, you don't need it. At least, that's my rule.
> The gov.uk website completely eschews JavaScript at some usability cost

I would imagine this was mostly driven by accessibility requirements more so than some ideological rigidity.
Not even close. I work in German immigration. There are SaaS opportunities left and right. The same is true in every niche. Developers just tend to look at what's immediately around them, and not at all the industries that are chronically underserved by tech.
> same system but cheaper is not the same system

Correct. You've identified why this debate has been frozen in American politics for decades. One man's leech is another's adored Cadillac insurance policy, trusted provider or prescribed placebo. Healthcare reform keeps dying on the rocks of conspiracy theories about the Congress of whatnot. The problem is surfacing a solution the electorate trusts and endorses.
True! But once again, if they’re playing the game, all good.

Lots of respect for any worker, management or otherwise, who prioritizes their own welfare over someone else’s profits :)

All the company has to do is change the rules of the game!

The buck stops at the top of course, perhaps unless it’s something like government or a non-profit, but even then I’m not sure.
The biggest challenge with TTS is high quality voice data. The architectures of closed providers still mostly trace their roots to stuff like Tortoise with a few exceptions.

Which is why it's especially ridiculous ElevenLabs allows professionals to upload their voices, charges users of those voices a minimum of $50 per million characters, likely pays under $1 for the compute... and then passes on a whopping $2 back to the professional.

I think the next disruptive TTS competitor is going to form out of just offering to pay better rates than ElevenLabs to their PVC users.

Finetuning established architectures on cleaner synthetic data is already getting open source models increasingly competitive, so getting top PVC samples from the source would likely put you right about where they are today.
If you spent money on a service you do not really need it matters, or at least it should be easy to see how it might matter. Continuing the payment and usage starts to be something of a social connection or a sign of support. More so if it is a one person enterprise. If it then becomes obvious that support might be misplaced separation is the logical step.

Big organisations are a different thing. And you can't pick your mail guy, plus the mail service is faceless as a whole. But think Tesla, there similar mechanisms make buying a car from them quite unattractive now.
The keyword AS would then have to be obligatory, to avoid ambiguity.
Fuck. Reading the original post on Something Awful, then your experience in 2021 in the days leading up, and then this all these years later... it's just harrowing. I'm so sorry.
This is a company that sued the German Meteorological Service for providing weather data to its citizens for free, zero sympathy.
He probably meant Seagull, which is also sold as Dolphin Mini in some countries.
It's terrible handling of the early stages from Tesla. Or they know their car is faulty and took their time to doctor the data.

But assuming not, they could have just released the data and called it quits. It's not inconceivable that the driver was "pressing the pedal wrong" - wasn't that the ultimate problem with the Toyotas in the US? But they managed to peeve off a customer so much that they went berserk and frankly too far. But it's easy to understand the anger.
> Eating an animal at least ostensibly has positive value for the people doing so

It is what comes before the eating that we should think about. We are breeding conscious beings (cattle, pigs, chickens) in harrowing conditions, with second order effects on the environment and plant and animal diversity (by clearing space for feed).

Should we stop eating animals? I don't know.

Should we stop testing on animals? If it meant that we cannot develop certain classes of therapies, then probably not.

Should we level up our compassion and care for animals and the environment even if it means humans have less luxury as long as it doesn't hold back increased life and health span? Probably.
The specs, as they exist in the PC space, tend to specify things like very specific Molex(tm) or Amphenol(tm) parts.

Anything else -- even a very precise and astutely-manufactured clone (including a Molex clone of an Amphenol part, or vice-versa) -- is out of spec.

(Which means that we're all running out-of-spec parts somewhere. I promise it.)
They began this case in 2020, before any of the most important models existed

But all the tasks in the article are totally straight-forward SSG stuff. Why would you do some processing in a build step, but then stop half-way and ship a bunch of JS to the client so they can finish it? That only makes sense if the work is dynamic in some way that it can only be done on the client-side.
People claiming on HN they won't call the cops might be all talk, I can't possibly know, but if you don't know anyone who won't call the police, you don't know people low on the socioeconomic ladder. And that's fine, there's no shame in that. But people who are frequent harassed by police - yeah, they don't call the police.

Ask a homeless person how they're treated by police and whether they would call 911.
Rewriting a commit in Git (with rebase, --amend, --squash, whatever) creates a new commit with your changes, keeping the original around but detached from the branch. For example, amending the tip of a feature branch (git checkout feature; git commit --amend) turns this:

A --- B --- C <- [main]
\
X --- Y --- Z <- [feature]

into this:

A --- B --- C <- [main]
\
X --- Y --- Z' <- [feature]
\
Z

The old commit is not destroyed, just taken off the path you walk from "feature" back in time. Even if you `rebase -i main` on "feature" and drop Y and Z, they'll still be around, just not in your branch:

A --- B --- C <- [main]
\ \
\ X' <- [feature]
\
X --- Y --- Z

If you're worried about rebase going bad, before you start, create a temporary branch (git checkout -b before-risky-rebase; git checkout -) to mark that line of history where "feature" points at the good state.

A --- B --- C <- [main]
\
X --- Y --- Z <- [feature,before]

If anything goes wrong that `rebase --abort` doesn't fix, get out of there somehow and `git checkout before-risky-rebase`, or, on "feature," `git reset --hard before-risky-rebase`. Here, the backup branch "before" is still what "feature" was before the rebase:

A --- B --- C <- [main]
\ \
\ X' --- (bad) --- (oops) <- [feature]
\
X --- Y --- Z <- [before]

As long as you don't force-push anything, it doesn't really matter if you damage the now-broken branch even more while getting out. Reset "feature" to your backup and it never happened. You can even damage "main" and still `reset --hard` to origin/main (if you have one) or the tip "main" had before you broke it.

Even if you don't remember to create the backup branch, the hashes of your old commits now bypassed are still in the reflog. You can always find the hash where "feature" used to point and manually move the pointer back:

git checkout feature
git reflog
(find the hash)
git reset <hash> # --hard or --mixed if needed

Not that this is obvious or trivial or anything. It shouldn't be this hard. But your commits are safe from almost any way you might destroy them once they're somewhere in your history, at least until unreachable commits are eventually garbage-collected.
I am with you but that is quite a mixed up metaphor!
To add to your comment, payphones still exist. All it takes is some cash and a hoodie for an anonymous call.

Further, the ability to make an anonymous police report is a feature for the safety of the person reporting. Otherwise, the person reporting may face revenge if the police fail to keep their identity secret.

My love of tech recovered when I stopped doing it for 40 hours a week. I don't work in tech. Applying technology at a small scale to solve concrete issues still feels magical. No KPIs, no standup meetings, no tickets. Just a small achievable goal that makes a tangible impact.
Maybe this is how the branches of Indo-European evolved.

Laryngeals replaced by vowel lengthenings, merging of consonsants, vowel shifting based on other sounds, etc. It's like there were many different events where "Indo-European with a heavy foreign accent" suddenly emerged.
> The sandboxing abilities of WASM are near unmatched, along with it's startup time and execution speed compared to native.

Could you expand on this? I think everyone would agree with the first two of these - sandboxing is the whole point of WASM, so it would be excellent at that. And startup latency matters a great deal to WASM programs, again not surprised that runtimes have optimised that.

But execution speed compared to native? Are you saying WASM programs execute faster than native? Or even at the same speed?
> wonder if temperature and durability will be issues on the side of a bus...

They were in 2010 with the panels we had running in New York. I think at any one time, >50% were off the road with issues (dirt, vibration[0], temperature, power supplies, etc.)

The second paragraph is perhaps something you experience on a very small team in a very small company, but definitely not everyone's day-to-day experience and it sounds like the author would like to impose their own limited experience onto the whole industry. In a lot of companies the DevOps usually jump in and handle the entire management of the pipeline, including the build and release of containers. For most of developers, they still get to simply ship their features, I've rarely met classic developers 'optimising Docker build times'. Secondly, great technologies have intrinsic qualities and potential which get recognised instantly. Now there may be some hype following them, for sure, but it is these intrinsic qualities which silently drive the adoption of the new tech, not the hype. People starting building extensions and add-ons and more complex systems and suddenly you see it everywhere. WASM has been around for a few years now / anyone seen it make its way quietly into our working processes yet?
WASM-Native Orchestration
Even more amazing, is one of our friends is a doctor (general practitioner) and she never suggested it. Though she did say old people tend to just develop dementia and it's probably that (my gran lived to 97). It's the coming and going nature of it that no one seemed to pay attention to.
You're overlooking the conservation of mass constraint.
For me, it was a delicio.us replacement
I had the same reaction.

I’m half the person I used to used to be, after a painful burnout. And it’s not even close as painful as what the OP experienced.

So many of my friends went through some very hard time that I stopped counting.

When people mistakenly make a gesture, they dont do it once more exactly the same.

And when people point out that they made this gesture their answer is usually not to crack jokes about how they made a Nazi salute in response.

We can maybe disagree about WHY he did it, there's room to discuss if it was genuinely a white nationalism thing or if he was just being an edgelord.

But it WAS a nazi salute and denying this is disingenuous.

The rise of streaming has made CDs and other offline media obsolete and publishing rights for them largely irrelevant. Audiobooks are likely to face a similar demise. One by one, all the frictions, I mean the colours of life, are fading away, sacrificed for the sake of convenience.

Edit: I think the effect of the invention of vinyl on live performers is more akin to how the commoditisation of HQ TTS will be detrimental to audiobook narrators.
I disagree.

I see the promise, but I've got too many real life examples of security issues to draw on to trust it would even keep working very long — let alone working appropriately and under my control — to allow one to control my body, which an implant would necessarily need to do.

And that's even with 100% of the biological compatibility issues being solved (I'm told those take several years to show up in all the other research examples from everyone else) and assuming that there was no trust deficit with Musk's companies selling products on the promise of what they aspire to do "this year" and don't/them having misleading demos — this is a fundamental issue of digital security being hard.

If an accident like Christopher Reeve's were to happen, I'd wait for something that repaired or regenerated tissue over a chip.
I have colleagues who are big fans of it.
I gave it a try, but I really don't get what is the problem it is trying to solve. Like, what is it that I will be able to do that I couldn't do with git, and why bother learning it at all
Trade jobs will be even better then! Because everybody will be busy fighting for the few well paid CS jobs. Why? OpenCV is 24 years old today and yet Amazon has an army of people who just pick things from the boxes. For last 10 years we have unlimited processing power and it’s not different today. Self driving cars are somehow progressed from Project Prometheus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka_Prometheus_Project But still my model Y does once a while phantom braking while driving by itself. Do you see something huge coming in humanity’s tech development to change things radically?

Every well paid engineer or manager will pay somebody a lot of money to make water flow again or have lights and internet working asap. That’s obvious.
The real question is how Germans spell in contexts where it's not easy to add those diacritical marks. Do they omit them, or take the extra effort to put them in / replace them with some digraphs?

My own language has several diacrititics that completely change the pronunciation (ă for schwa, â and î for a vowel that has no equivalent in English, ș for sh, ț for the zz from pizza), and is otherwise very phonetically written. Still, when writing in informal contexts on English keyboards, people generally just use a/i/s/t and rely on context to make it clear which word is meant. In old SMS writing, they would sometimes use sh and tz, but still a/i. So even though the diacritics fundamentally change pronunciation, and make a few words indistinguishable, they are not critical to the understanding of a text and local readers don't fully require them.
> and more broadly, there is now a portable, embeddable, and sandboxed version of Perl that others can use in their projects. I can think of a lot of use cases, and helping other developers makes any hardship I endured worth it.

Yes, exactly, and thank you for that!

I don't know of any other general-purpose scripting language that can be run in WebAssembly. This could make Perl an interesting choice for writing sandboxed build system rules.
In practice the problem containers solve is to bundle an application with its environment so that it will work the same on the developers machine and in production and in five years time when the servers are replaced with new ones running another distro.

The WASM world doesn't have most of the pieces of that puzzle and WASM itself is quite irrelevant. Say we standardized on a sandbox running x86_64 VMs under Firecracker, with the proper sandboxing that would work just as well as running WASM. You might say that WASM is portable, x86_64 assembler is not, to that I would counter that ARM (and probably RISC-V too) can emulate x86_64 faster than they can run WASM. So what's the point of the WASM piece of the puzzle?
Colonial empires (Spanish Empire, Belgian Empire, French Empire, British Empire) existed long before the two world wars. I venture to say that both world wars were caused by German reunification of 1871. This created a country too big to be dominated by Europe but not big enough to dominate Europe. This problem was solved for quite a while by Otto von Bismarck. Unfortunately he became old and lost influence to the idiot Kaiser Wilhelm II.The rest, as they say, is history.

I also venture to say that colonialism is dead and we will not see empires in the 20th century sense of the word. The troubles Russia has in the Ukraine seem to indicate vast land grabs belong to the history books.

The first iDrive version was CCC, and it was reviled back then and is still currently. I think the opinion shift happened with the CIC version, which started rolling out at around 2009 and had a massively different user interface. And you can tell that CIC was a much better system since the next version introduced around 2013, NBT, only tweaked the CIC UI instead of completely replacing it.
How does it hold up on long stuff? I use Elevenlabs Studio daily and once things start to get into the chapters long, the voice can really start to go off the rails. It'd say they've solved a lot of this over the past 2/3 months, but it does still happen on long stuff.
Paralleling wires is stable because the TCR of copper is positive. When one connection carries too much current compared to its peers, it will heat up. This will increase its resistance, causing it to accordingly carry less of the current. So the system is self-balancing.

Do not remove ground wires. That is stupid. You'll just be raising the current in the remaining wires. EMI should not be a major concern as we are talking about DC power delivery here (also why I'm saying "resistance" instead of "impedance") and so the potential for trouble by changing the number of conductors making a connection is limited. Yes, anything could happen, but that's just the nature of EMC problems.
