There was one second between the driver taking over and the collision, so it was likely a panic reaction to an imminent crash.

Which is fundamentally the problem with self driving technologies. If it isn't 100%, it might just increase the danger: It lures the driver into distraction, because enough kilometres on straight roads and who is going to keep paying attention when a car drives itself...and then boom exception you have 1 second to focus and ingest the situation perfectly or you die.
The trick to having a galaxy is for mass to fall towards the black hole and miss it all the time.

Sure.

-f is technically machine
independent.

-m should be used when having it implemented as machine dependent options.

So if you are telling me all these security features are only developed without requiring to implement per machine level support then it makes sense.
What if they considered that and determined that at typical consumer SaaS pricing of low tens of dollars per user per month it's "still impossible to make money"? What if they went a step further and looked at typical Enterprise SaaS pricing (low hundreds of dollars per seat per month) and determined "still can't make money"?
Not that physical reality has ever gotten in the way of low effort internet comments but the driver isn't wrong, you can avoid an obstacle in much less forward distance by turning than braking.

There were two seconds between the alert and the crash. I'm not sure why the driver didn't at least get the car out of the barrier lane, perhaps there was other traffic (though the brake pedal percentages don't seem to indicate they committed to braking, odd, but I wasn't there so IDK). Obviously paying attention beforehand would have been the better move from the get go.
Show HN: Pset An expanded JavaScript set with all proposed operations and types
This has all the current set proposals with type information and intellisense explanations. Works in node and in the browser. Stop reinventing the wheel and start using extremely elegant, concise, and performant set operations. As a shim it will test if there's a native implementation and use that first—so this package won't become an issue in the future.

The underlying shim (es-shims) is robust and well tested but doesn't have everything grouped together in one place.
It's a great point that this is how we primarily used to interact with businesses and services, but we've moved on. For Gen-Z, e.g., many will refuse to use the product or service if they have to speak to an actual human. Just like we're now not willing to take boat across the ocean for 3 months, but before airplanes this was not uncommon.
Styles are notoriously hard to copy. It's not like Ghibli style being copied is anything new. For example, Studio Ponoc where former Ghibli employees did the copying. As long as they aren't literally generating copyrighted works styles can't be owned.

Would the world be better off if Picasso's heirs owned Cubism and any artist wanting to produce works in that style had to buy a license?

No, I would not shut down discussions. I appreciate new points of view, and I’m fine with being challenged. I would especially not shut down discussions when my assumptions are nothing but a hunch.

> Preact does not have 1:1 feature parity, if it had it would have been much more widely used

Like another poster said, this is a logical error. Preact is fully featured.

People will do anything except actually try Elixir. :D

...I mean: pipes, immutability, transparent mega-parallelism... helloooo?

I tried F# some years ago (after I was fired from a shop that decided they will go all-in on Java and F# and dropping everything else overnight) and I was not impressed. I mean the language is really nice but the C# baggage and runtime was just a bit much. And I was not left convinced that immutability alone is worth the switch. I suppose we can call F# an FP gateway drug?

Now arguably you get a runtime and some baggage from the Erlang runtime (the BEAM VM, where Elixir also runs), but the guarantees and features you get are invaluable, and have proven themselves many times over the last literal three decades.
Well, now we really know they take inspiration from Tesla. Anyone remember the Tesla beheading, with the car doing a victory lap afterwards?
I haven’t tried using it for bass guitar but I believe it should just work? I assume you want tabs for bass guitar. Alphatab, the tablature editor supports bass guitar and other stringed instruments too. I guess it even supports notation for drums/percussion.

For that matter, I think the app should work for practicing any instrument that can be practiced with a metronome if you ignore tablature (which is only for reference anyway).

For now I want focus on guitar as that’s my primary use case but I’d love to extend it for other instruments in future.
> [the Houthis] have no air defense - False

True. They have since Obama shot down less than what, one drone a year? This is no air defense and your own evidence confirms it. At best it serves as a rare annoyance but is strategically defenseless. You are simply wrong.

>there is] no risk of meaningful counter attack — False

True. They have not once strategically gained a victory on the US nor do they have means to do so.

>Understand they literally don't care about opsec — False, the Signal chat referred to some files being transmitted highside (i.e. properly), so clearly they literally do care

True. They invite journalists and use poorly vetted signal channels.

>nor is there much reason why they should — False, unless you regard "mitigating the risk of American equipment and potentially pilots getting shot down" as "not much reason," in which case we just disagree on axioms

True, even with leaks the best they can do is extraordinarily rarely shoot down non piloted drones.

>None of this is relevant to whether it was proper, legal, or risky to plan an attack via Signal.

I did not claim that it was....

My thesis is the Houthis are the next easy way to unload massive defense funds with little strategic risk. Their lack of air defenses and no need for opsec informs the cabinet's laxadasical treatment.
I'd argue many of the clones were better but not enough better. Doom was the first to do X and once you already played a game that did X the next game needed to do 2X not 1.2X.

All I remember is that I had switched to the AOSP keyboard because the Onyx one was really bad, then someone who uses Android more told me I should try GBoard so I did that. Don't remember having to do anything special for setup so the bug must not have affected me. Hope you find a fix.
The shop went all in on Java and F#? Why not C# and F#? That’s really odd, unless there’s context I’m missing.
> By 8:30am it was chaos in the main office and this filtered up to the head of HR, who most definitely did know me, and told me I'd better send a retraction before the CFO got in or I was in big trouble. That went wrong also, because my retraction said that campus administration was not considering charging per-page fees when in fact they actually were, so I had to retract it and send a new retraction that didn't call attention to that fact.

I wonder if the joke would have gone over better with the higher ups if it didn't coincide with their plans to implement an actual pay-to-print system. I'm sure they were none too happy about having attention drawn to an unpopular change they were already planning.

Every time DOGE reports were checked, they contained glaring massive mistakes ... which is still giving them massive benefit of doubt as it is equally likely they just lied.

So, no. No scary waste, squandering or laundering was found by them. However, they themselves are breaking the law, lying and trying to defraud.

I'm still getting 55% of the wealth my brother built for himself without putting any effort into it. It would be different if this were a spouse, but surviving spouses are not subject to these taxes.

Also, taxation isn't stealing. But if you genuinely feel that it is, you have the option of moving to a country with no functioning government. The Somali government, for example, has effectively no ability to collect taxes in most regions.
I feel like you avoided the substance of my question. Does Honey's intervention negatively impact the original affiliate in any way?
>Imagine you're launching a book and you reckon if you get 100 pre-orders that means you'll be able to sell 10,000 books down the line. So you convince 100 of your mum's baking club friends to buy your book on SQL. See how you just broke the value of the pre-orders as indicative of future market success?

I don't think the comparison works because in the baking club example, presumably these people have no interest in the book and are only buying because they're family friends. It's not predictive because the pre-sale exhausted all of my potential customers.

But in my pre-sale, people mostly aren't buying because they're friends with me. They're buying because they're interested in paying money for the book.

>I'm not saying that's exactly the case here, but the fact that the kickstarter completely plateaued suggests there is limited organic, word-of-mouth growth.

I wasn't expecting a ton of word of mouth organic growth about a book that hasn't been published yet. The thing I thought would attract customers is reaching people who aren't already aware of the book through blog posts, and that was successful. I think it's a good indicator that I can repeat that to find new readers after the book is available.

FWIW, the numbers I'm expecting are way smaller than what you're suggesting. I don't think $X in pre-sale means $100X in regular sale. I'm expecting it to be more like 3-4X. That is, I'll be happy if this book makes $20k by the end of the year.

I think it's less about wanting to be called an artist and more about wanting to be able to get the results of making things more easily. And there is a good case that we can have a successful boom from this sort of thing.

>And to be just a tad pedantic: you have JS in production; your TS is only in dev.

This is not even pedantic, it's wrong. You have JS/TS in both dev and prod, with javascript being the actual runtime code in both, and typescript checking your code at build time in both. If you're running javascript compiled/checked by , and written in, typescript, it's not uncommon or unreasonable to call it typescript.
This is amazing! Definitely going to use this during my German study!
I suppose also no public IP on your home connection?

Because since my new provider only provides cg-nat, I've been using a cheap server, but actually having the server at home would be nice.
Thanks for reporting. I’ll check this.
Can it do GUIs well?

I don't know if I would say 'well'. For simple GUIs it's OK but, for non-trivial GUIs I would use the approach to write the GUI frontend code in C# and have it call the F# 'backend'. If for no other reason than that the support and documentation for doing GUIs in C# is much better.

How about mobile?

Never tried, but I'm guessing more or less the same story as above. I would probably start by looking into .Net MAUI for that.

And how does it compare to e.g. Scala?

The biggest difference is that Scala is a much bigger and more of a multi-paradigm language. F# feels smaller and more focused and on its ML roots and functional programming. Not saying that Scala is less 'functional' than F#, but Scala supports you writing your code in a much more OOP way if you want. Yes you can (and sometimes have to) do OOP in F#, but it doesn't feel natural.

Show HN: LDAPEnforcer, idempotent LDAP user and group management
In my homelab, I wanted LDAP users and groups, and especially changes to group membership, managed via files I checked in to Git. I didn't find anything else that could do this for my use case - 389 Directory Server, not running nixOS - so I wrote it myself.

You give it some OUs for people, service accounts, and groups, and it modifies objects in those OUs to match the config files. The OUs may contain only a subset of your accounts, so you can still permit non-managed user and group creation if you need to in your directory.

It was my first project with Claude Code and I was blown away by how fast it went. I was using it on my LDAP server after just a couple of days. I was reading a config file and talking to LDAP within the first couple of hours, without ever having written LDAP client code in Go before. Without Claude the effort probably wouldn't have been worth it, and I doubt I'd have gotten much further than a project skeleton.

Currently it assumes a 389 Directory Server laid out like mine happens to be, but it would be cool to support other LDAP servers and configurations.
No surprises here, companies will tell this to your face on day 1. Asking your boss/subordinate out on a date is frowned upon and will be used aggressively against you.
Sure, but Trump hates the EU, so do it anyway. If BYD built a few plants in the EU for making premium vehicles, they could probably massage that tariff situation a bit.

The point is to ignore the US and just work around it. I certainly would if I were in charge of a multi-national corporation outside the US.
Yes, if you apply this logic, you'll reach this conclusion. I don't think this is equivalent to racism though. The latter is rooted in violence against the hated, not the violence of the hated.

The problematic racism is when people hate <race> despite <race> never harming them in any way, usually because that helps them justify systemically disadvantaging <race>.

You don't make the distinction, and draw equivalence between the two, so for you it's equally bad, I understand that.
If the place where you buy your guitar doesn't have lessons then buy your guitar elsewhere! There are music stores all over and nearly all of them have guitar teachers on staff - often the owner teaches guitar himself. If you want to play something weird (harp?) you might be stuck with online only lessons buying something without playing it from the internet. However most instruments have a local music shop and you should buy from them if possible. Note that guitar the patterns seems to be lessons are in the store you buy from. Piano you are generally better off with an unrelated teacher, and violin seems to be always unrelated private lessons - all are okay.

I would consider a teacher important enough that I would borrow/rent an instrument to try out teachers and only after you find a teacher you like buy. It is typically better to play an instrument you have never heard of before taught by a teacher you "click" with than buy the instrument you think you want but not find a good teacher.

That said, online lessons are great supplements to your teacher. And if you are broke (between jobs) often cheap. Sometimes online lessons can teach you things that your local teacher cannot (as opposed to will not because you are not ready). However the local teacher will also correct things that you will lie to yourself about.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever - John Keats

Honestly, physics is so full of pretension and hero worship. Even among seasoned lecturers there's a tendency to mythologise the progress of the art by making it sound like all the great results we rely on were birthed fully-formed by the giants who kindly lend us their divine shoulders.

Ironically there's a kind of Gell-Mann amnesia here, working scientists know that must of your work will consist of stumbling down blind alleys in the dark and looking for needles under lampposts that aren't even near the haystack.

I'm reminded of an anecdote which I can't currently source, but as I remember it Hilbert was trying to derive the Einstein Field Equations by a variational method. He correctly took the Ricci curvature R as the Lagrangian, but then neglected to multiply by the tensor density, sqrt(-g). This is kind of a rookie mistake, but made by one of the history's greatest mathematical physicists.

Anyway I love this article, it's a breath of fresh air and rightly beloved by undergrads.

Why would you ever hire a human to perform some task for you in a company? They're known for having problems with ambiguity and precision in communication.

Humans require a lot of back and forth effort for "alignment" with regular "syncs" and "iterations" and "I'll get that to you by EOD". If you approach the potential of natural interfaces with expectations that frame them the same way as 2000s era software, you'll fail to be creative about new ways humans interact with these systems in the future.

Interesting! I never heard of that.

The package came from a US company in Texas not China. Not directly, the mask could have been made anywhere, but the package did not contain any other mail labels like when you get something from China. And never happened before, never happened again, and was literally only a single mask.

Still, seems to fit anyway because the brushing descriptions do vary in the details a little. My example still fits.

Or maybe it still was the hn guy and this just the method they used because they knew about it.

Anyway thank you.
I wish they told me. They cut ties with most of their previous devs overnight, as if we were some enemies. Weirdest firing in my life and career to this day.

Finding a great teacher helps the most. I self-taught mostly and had a teacher for the first ten years. Learned some not-great habits with both right and left hand that took me some time to unlearn.

Find a teacher that can play the stuff you want to eventually play. Then take some lessons and assess whether you enjoy the process of working with them. Learning scales and doing exercises to get better will feel like a grind no matter what. A good teacher will give you enough variety to stimulate growth and make you have an appetite for the process of improvement.

Edit: meant to mention that buying a used guitar is a great way to save money, too. You can buy from Guitar Center's used section and have a 45 day return period. If you live near a store, you can just take it back there, as well. If you're not sure how to assess the instrument, you can buy something from there, take it to a guitar tech and have them check it out/set it up to make sure it's ok.
Seems like a memorable way of showing them that the email system could be configured better.
100% this, I spent many months going through the most recent books on F# including one which the latest version was only released last year I think.

They all seem to try and shield you from the fact that you are much better placed if coming from C# (which everyone seems to refer to as .net these days) and have a solid understanding of the .net class library.

All the main web frameworks sit on top of asp.net and pretty much all official documentation for that is in c#

Such a shame because I learnt so much about types from trying to crack f# for real world application. fsharpforfunandprofit taught me heaps which I apply to other languages, but I don't want to become a c# developer which comes with all the years of changing best practices to be able to really be productive in f#.

Sorry if I am coming across as bitter but I just can't see learning f# in isolation from c# which is an absolute shame.
> It seems that younger people have no references and understanding of political concepts. Corbyn had full-on socialist policies in the Labour manifesto of the time but simply because he used terms like "coop" they seem to have been missed by some...

Social democratic and labour parties are, at least were openly socialist at least until the 1990s. UK Labour party is part of the Party of European Socialists and an observing member of Socialist International. Most social democratic parties were "Bernsteinian" with the explicit goal of democratic transition into socialism. Coops have been promoted by both left and right.

At least with a bit longer reference span democratic socialism is not radical or far-left in the European context.
I was the original poster and was just about to post the same thing!

You can write a vast majority of your C# codebase in a functional style if you prefer to.

All the good stuff has been pirated from F# land by now: First-class functions, pattern matching, expression-bodied members, async functional composition, records, immutable collections, optional types, etc.
I was able to consistently start a loop in one click by clicking on the edge between grey and white (slow and fast refractory) cells ASAP after a normal beat.

If I'm fast enough, the wave can't spread to the grey cells so it only goes in direction around the red cells and starts a loop.

(But you can't do this on the first image with a Defibrillate! button because there are no slow cells.)

Just physics is like this? Hero worship like this is pretty endemic.

It’s weird because on one hand it promotes this disempowering mythology that all progress comes from a vanishingly tiny fraction of humanity, but on the other hand people find it inspiring because if heroes exist then it means people (and maybe you!) can do amazing things. It’s a weird double edged sword.
