Back in 2021 this was the major reason to not go for a VW but a Skoda. The ID.4 has these ugly touch buttons on the steering wheel and even for the window controls. Skoda uses the same tech but combined with oldschool buttons. They have kept the skoda like third column stock for the cruise control. Still not perfect mind you. Modern cars have so many settings and knobs and features. Don‘t get me started on EU regulations that have to be implemented but are guarded by model year. Example: I can permanently turn off the warning sound in case I‘m driving over the speed limit in my car. Newer cars are required to reset everytime the car starts. Same for settings like driving modes. But that all depends on the model year. Since its software they could roll this out to older models. It makes it a weird experience when driving a newer model which suddenly doesn‘t remember its settings ;)
+1 your Cayenne

We just got a clean 2013 Honda CR-V (loaded LX-L model) and it's got buttons & knobs (and dial gauges!). Really nice car, it feels like a Lexus inside.

There is a small touchscreen, but it's mainly for the XM radio & Nav.
Reading the title and then your first sentence is the most HN experience.

I disagree. Just as C++ and Rust conceive of "plain old data" (POD) as data that basically has no surprising behaviors on cleanup (probably butchered that explanation), I think of libraries as "plain old code". Unlike services, libraries are part of the address space and should passively serve the main executable portion. That's why they are libraries specifically. A library should, if it detects an error, tell the main executable and then it is up to the main executable to do the responsible thing and address the error seriously. Needless to say, I don't like glibc-style "libraries". Doing too much in the background, in the same address space, no less. A library should be a nice, isolated unit that a programmer chooses to add into their executable at will. My concern is that composability and modularity aren't respected enough.
Electric boats make a lot of sense when you can hydrofoil or glide. Candela had a demonstration of a long range trip in an electric hydrofoil boat, where they had range anxiety…. for the gasoline driven follower boat that the cameraman used to document the trip. It had to refuel several more times than the electric boat had to charge. And the difference in operating costs are huge.
The only thing I would disagree with is that these believes are unpopular.

For the rest, it's a reasonable perspective. Even the "red flag" one about people not leaving is sensible. It's a flag and not a verdict. It's also possible that you hired well, set expectations correctly, and people are performing and growing.
> I'm not sure I follow, does this imply fibrinolytics are dangerous drugs by default for the elderly population that tends to get strokes? Are they just dangerous in general?

Dangerous in general, especially for patients with acute stroke. Thankfully the risk of an intracranial bleed is much lower for patients without a stroke (~1% IIRC), so if you get the diagnosis wrong (as there are many mimics) at least the risk isn't as high.

> So does that mean "time is brain" is a bit exaggerated then, if the benefits are small?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- my impression is that the "time is brain" is emphasizing that "earlier is better," which is absolutely the case. Unfortunately, better is not always "good."

Thankfully, for massive strokes, we now have much more effective options (which are generally performed along with tPA). Unfortunately these options require highly trained subspecialists that my be practically unavailable to rural hospitals.
I’m part of a volunteer group that lobbies congresspeople about climate change, and there’re at least a few examples of it making a very obvious difference (for example, one republican member of congress started the conservative climate caucus after going on a nature walk with some members of this group, it now counts over half of all republican members of congress as members). So I’d caution from adopting this idea that it’s all useless, it’s not. A lot of times, they’re just not hearing that their constituents really care about these things. They’re only human.
The need to add an inference engine to them for fact checking.
I'd disagree. Title is appropriate "could cut food waste" is very true and pretty mild. A clickbait title would be "Gene-edited non-browning bananas will solve food waste problem"

So Britain doesn’t have autonomy either considering their missiles were made by Lockhead Martin?

However my point is that Germany or Poland developing nuclear weapons without direct support of Britain/France is not even worth discussing. It would be infeasible due to a variety of political/military/economic/other reasons. I don’t think that it’s something even would be considering even semi seriously at this point.

Realistically some
More centralized EU based nuclear weapon sharing program might be feasible but it’s very far away at this point.
They certainly are not. I speak Levantine Arabic and learned MSA in school. I could understand Egyptian Arabic and Khaliji Arabic, but I have no chance understanding anything west of Egypt. There's a lot of extra words, even the simple words are different a lot of the time.

I traveled once to Egypt and the tour guide was delighted that I spoke Arabic. We started speaking in Arabic, but after a few minutes we switched back to English because we couldn't form complete sentences without any of us saying "What?".

I advice everyone not to follow the TFA's author's example and do read Tiffany Aching series, which is one of the best. Yes, it's marketed as YA fiction, but disregard: it's exactly the same style and themes as the rest of Discworld, and as good or better.

Also, the author does a disservice to Small Gods (also, oddly names the god Om as GamesStop, was that humor?), but this novel is one of the best ones in my opinion -- self-contained and both humorous and strangely moving.
Back in the day, falcon nine booster reusability would've been called a fine hack. It wasn't meant to do that. But, just barely, it could.

Starship is the cybertruck of spaceships. It's what happens when you stop listening to the people who could pull off a fine hack.
“ As much as it's trendy in 2025 to talk about this admin as though it's entirely unprincipled, it's actually been doing exactly what it said it would do to satisfy its base.”

Most Arguments in both directions are basically unprovable and amount to propaganda at this point. Degrees matter. Saying “people voted for this”, which both sides say with different directionality, is mostly away to convince people to either support or fight against the administration. Everyone voted for their interpretation of thing X, but will oppose it if implementation Y causes impact Z which they perceive as bad.
Awesome.

Now that archeologists are more productive with AI they can fire 20% of the staff over hired during covid, and give massive bonuses to the executives running museums and archeology departments.

Archeologists who stay can expect smaller stock grants, too.

Now get back to work before Elon gets here and demands 60+ hr workweeks and requires all 401k plans to be converted to DOGEcoin.

Because a man who hypes Social Security "as a ponzi scheme" knows that crypto is a good business proposition.
It's also the case that e.g. Amazon will rarely show the exact product you search for, and will instead promote an equivalent product that pays them for placement - often extremely similar looking. Web searches are getting worse too, with AI-generated content letting scammy alternatives look more professional than ever. We're circling back to links being king.
So YouTubers and their fans destroyed PayPal's $4 billion acquisition of Honey....this is like GameStop stoks reloaded. I'm fine with that because PayPal is yet another fishy and scammy tech company that presents itself as savior of Web users' privacy and security. People go crypto. Stablecoins will eventually win.
It's superficially true of any large stewardship organization. After N years some significant percent of projects will be on their way out. These will continue accumulating year over year and they potentially won't be disposed of for decades (and for good reason).

Meanwhile only a vanishingly small fraction of projects remains at the center of public attention for an extended period of time. People develop a skewed perspective because we interact with many of the most popular projects on a daily basis.
I followed the prescribed unofficial Reading Order graphic when I started the series (only 10ish books in), and I've jumped around between all the different protagonists. Color of Magic, Mort, Guards Guards, and the Equal Rites do well enough to show you what the Disc is all about, the absurdity of normalcy, and some of the crazy antics people get into. I think it may be more a matter of what "type" of fiction are you looking for - a constantly terrified Rincewind in a world of magic, a new to the job Mort where no one believes HE is Death, a tired Sam Vimes trying to understand a world that is changing faster than he can keep up, or the witches the reject all the social rules of the land. Really the only one I wouldn't recommend first is Small Gods, but mostly because its very self contained to the Klatchian region while the others are on another continent.
I don't really agree with that at all. You need not only nukes on Mars but multiple advanced and adversarial colonies with nukes for MAD to be a thing. And C&C with a 40 minute round trip latency is not happening. Kind of problematic when the most probable way we get into nuclear war is a country convincing itself it can successfully execute a decapitation strike.

Then you'd also need to know a lot like how nukes would even work on Mars. Dramatically lower atmospheric pressure, amongst other things, will mean nukes will function dramatically differently and be substantially less dangerous. You're looking at dramatically reduced shock/blast waves, less of a threat of fallout (since environmental exposure is already lethal), and so on.

It's another great argument for expansion - each colony will have to deal with different situations, which makes various threats - less threatening. For another example, a directed gamma ray burst could be catastrophic on Earth, and is one hypothesis for the Great Ordovician Extinction, but on Mars it would almost entirely harmless.
Aside from the lack of convenient ring I'd say that sometimes it's quite a useful framing. To avoid derailing into politics I'll use Nazi Germany as another example.
I was taught to drive manual barefoot - by an instructor. To get better pedal feel.

(And decades later I simrace barefoot where there is essentially no useful pedal feel... in VR, so all physical interactions are completely blind - no touchscreens!)
>This is all probably too vague and unspecified for you lot...but it is just an idea.

Forgive me for being blunt, but what idea? If the question is who is supposed to fund Chromium and Firefox going forward then you haven't actually offered any ideas.
The survival chances of relocated mice are basically nil.

You are deluding yourself to make yourself feel better.

No judgement, I've done it too. But now we both know better.
Glad we've got some competition in this space. Qualcomm was the only manufacturer with top tier performance for several years.

I'm a bit skeptical of how much "AI" is going on here but given the number of parameters in RF systems its not a surprise that ML could be trained on them to reduce the necessity to perform things algorithmically and outperform what a human could describe and code.
I have no idea why people do this. To me, it only serves to devalue the rest of the content.

It’s especially egregious in this case because the post is about something visual. The art is built-in! Why oh why.
I think people here should look up a video of Xiaomi SU7 (for instance Doug DeMuro's [0]) They have a big touch screen, but they also have an option of attaching a row of physical buttons underneath, for those who want it. It seems like an overall very good car for a reasonable price, and really shows quite well how overvalued Tesla is. Xiaomi announced that they would start making cars in 2021, in 2024 they sold 135 000 SU7.

At this pace, we will soon go to the grocery store and ask for 5 kg of AI, or insert it into our language as a punctuation mark.
The headline only needs one minor twist also to give some political entities a reason to blame climate change on something other than the burning of fossil fuels.
I reject the implication that the problem is me or other people who are critical of AI here. I’ve given it a fair shake. Why is user error or literally here a “self-limiting belief” always implied or stated? Almost like I can’t use AI because of a moral failing? C’mon…

It honestly sounds like a cult where I don’t know how to read the tea leaves and believe enough. I’ll pass happily and be so self limited :)

When AI is actually useful, there won’t be a debate.
I also remember the first version of Smalltalk from Digitalk that was character based and windowed. It was called Methods. I can’t seem to find any reference to it on the web now.

I’ve been trying to “vibe code” with cursor, and it’s pretty bad. Lots of regressions, I get stuck in loops where it keeps breaking something. Maybe it’s the language I’m using (typescript) to a less applicable application (games) or the model (Claude 3.5/7) but I am very surprised that people assert a non-developer could vibe code a full application.

In the one hand it’s impressive how quickly I could make a basic UI, on the other hand it’s quite unimpressive my ability to get the Ui to actually do anything, and the number of very basic mistakes (whoops, forgot to add types or here let me import a file that doesn’t exist)

I even had a weird thing where it asked me to paste in the code of a file, even though the file was explicitly added to its context.
Fine, but why don't they care anymore?

I watch an embarrassing amount of YouTube and it was virtually all I heard about for 72 hours and then any mention at all vanished.

Indeed. Better food management fixes it without crispr.
I wonder if things like tipping culture will encourage people to eat at home and be more mindful about their consumption. I hate being extorted for 25% tips and then told if I can’t afford the 25% then I shouldn’t be eating out.

Kind of how the hatred of dealing with printer companies and their extortionist ink prices accelerated the shift to paperless.

So maybe we’ll get to a better state, perhaps not through the means we expected.

I did too (a long time ago when I was 13). But I think there was a change in tone with and continuing after Equal Rites, in that the characters and story were a bit more thorough rather than being, essentially, a sketch-show vehicle for parody and quips.

Besides, it introduces Granny Weatherwax, who is IMO one of his two greatest creations (the other being Vimes of course).

> Hackathons are adrenaline-fueled chaos, great for pizza and team bonding but rarely for long-term innovation. You end up with half-baked projects that die the moment the event ends. If you’re serious about innovation, ditch hackathons and embrace intermissions instead.

They don't have to be like this. I do much of my best work over 3-day HackDays that the company holds multiple times per year. Often I'll make a Proof-of-Concept during HackDays and incrementally improve it for production readiness to serve a specific overdue or upcoming need.
This is fascinating. Reminds me of how people improve at chess by studying a chess engine's suggestions.

> Tesla's claim to fame was being the longest range fastest EVs

That's true, and they are insanely fast. But I will never forget when the Model S was released and was competing against flagships like the 7 series and S class. When I tried one out, my overwhelming first impression was: this is it? And that was 2012. And it's still basically the same car!

Those in charge and seeking power in the US are Christian Nationalists. They are the other side of the Chinese coin, simply not as effective at implementation of policy and subjugation of the out group.

The shared theme is power over others, instead of empowerment and respect of agency and autonomy of the human (each for their own reasons and belief systems).
Outsize influence combined with conflict of interest. The other branches of Google have too much to gain from being able to steer the direction of the web with Chrome, and the company as a whole benefits from writing its web apps in a way that makes them work better under Chrome, making for self-reinforcing hegemony. It’s just as bad as MS+IE, maybe worse since Chromium/Blink being open source has given them plausible deniability that MS didn’t have.

Look a bit farther out than the first world countries you're used to. Reliable energy, and energy to your night stand aren't available everywhere and the countries still sticking to 2G largely fall into that category. Having the flexibility to only need a charging once a month makes these devices actually usable tools.

2G due to its lower information density is also easier to receive and transmit generally allowing significantly lower density of towers and longer reliable range. In largely rural areas there aren't enough customers for companies to invest in towers for the same level of 4G coverage.
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is a good foundation.

Darija (Moroccan Arabic) is probably furthest away because it is heavily influenced by the Berber languages (and Arabs are not the majority in Morocco, they are just the largest minority). Also, Moroccans tend to do lots of context switching to French.

Egyptian Arabic is widely understood everywhere due to Egypt's strong position in the Arabic movie/TV industry.
I agree, you said some things I feel for some time too.
It is only by annexing these Northern territories that the US can defend itself from this eggy menace.
It depends on why you are trying to learn Arabic. If the goal is to understand quran then standard arabic is going to be your goal. If you want to be able to read arabic text (documents) then it is using standard arabic. If you want to go to arab country except Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and talk in a way that people will understand you then learn Egyptian dialect. It is the de facto standard dialect due to the media and the fact that about one from each Arab speaker is Egyptian. Then to understand other dialects you will get it by living or engaging with their speakers a little bit while they would be happy to talk sometimes in standard Arabic or Egyptian dialect themselves.

Also Egyptian Arabic tends to be the easiest dialect to learn for a beginner. It makes pronunciation much easier than i.e Iraqi dialect.

My position is articulated here, with real examples: https://burntsushi.net/unwrap/

> Just to be clear, you are making the argument that when a library call detects an error of the form of unexpected NULL/not-NULL, that they abort immediately?

There's no blanket answer here because your scenario isn't specific enough. Is the pointer caller provided? Is the pointer entirely an internal detail whose invariant is managed internally? Is this pointer access important for perf? Is the pointer invariant encapsulated by something else?

Instead, I suggest showing examples of C libraries following your philosophy. Then we'll have something concrete.

In the comment I linked, you'll noticed that I actually looked at and reviewed real code examples. Maybe you could engage with those.

I love entertaining the possibility that the 4th panel of Kryptos is not actually solvable, and that everyone is spending tons of time and energy trying to know secret information has no practical use, and doesn’t even exist.

I feel like that would be a strong artistic statement about the CIA and intelligence agencies in general. Do people reluctantly work to know every secret because it’s actually necessary for security? Or do some people just want to know every secret, and “security” is the handiest excuse for them to pursue that?
