> The difference with the 737 Max crashes is that there was only one sensor feeding data to the system, not two.

That's fair. I was likely remembering that there were two sensors, since there's one for the pilot and one for the copilot, but not remembering that only one of them was in use.

The other lessons worth noting are that 1) you need to give the human some indicator that something's wrong, and 2) you need to give the human some way of overriding the system.

> And unlike planes, you can safely stop a car in almost all scenarios.

Agreed, mostly. We do have to be careful about how the vehicle disengages and comes to a safe stop, or else we risk repeating the incident where Cruise hit a pedestrian, then pulled to the side of the road while dragging the pedestrian under the vehicle.
The most mind numbing thing from that side are when leftists act confused that a minority or woman didn’t vote their way.

I’ve never seen greater confusion in my life from otherwise well adjusted people.

“Self interest” is the go to term. “They’re [an amorphous group all in a single socioeconomic bracket] voting against their self interest”.

the form of dominance is very apparent but it seems like that crowd is completely blind to it, they're saying “here are the prepackaged things your kind can vote for, leave fiscal foreign and monetary policy to the white man. it is impossible for you to be in a position where those matters are relevant to you and may have you evaluating parties based on those factors. stick with the availability of elective surgeries like we said”

The left in the US manifests as the Democrat party, that party will be better off when they realize their constituents don’t really like them and are not that liberal. They're just more cautious of some people on the right.

Most people rise or sink to the level that they're held to. If everyone is getting lazier or worse at thinking slowly and deliberately, most of the rest will see that as the standard they need to match.
Thanks! Still, for an MVP, it’s pretty practical and cheaper than a GPT sub right now. Could’ve been a Ghigli generator or maybe just a wrapper around an image generator, or music (which are quite popular). Still, the idea at a later stage is to use brain-to-text to input information with the mind.
> If you want results, get Postgres. If you want someone to blame, get Oracle.

I've twice offered fixes to Oracle (didn't even get a thank you); countless times I've had to find workarounds; and I've lost endless hours working with support to get things fixed.

I have no respect for Oracle software. It gives me nothing but headaches. I can't really just blame Oracle, because I have to keep my organisation working. I just wish I could get rid of it.
The trade deficit is not the main cause of Washington's borrowing. The deficit causes trillions of dollars to accumulate in the hands of Chinese manufacturers, much of which eventually ends up in the hands of the Chinese government (a sovereign wealth fund). The Chinese government keeps that money in dollars (rather than convert it to Chinese currency) because converting it would reduce the strength of the dollar relative to the Chinese currency, making Chinese imports more expensive to Americans, which Beijing does not want. Someone holding $trillions is motivated to invest it to avoid its being eaten away slowly by inflation, and in general, it is not easy to invest that much money especially when you are not located in the US, but US Treasury bonds are one easy way to invest a lot of money.

Accumulating $trillions in US Treasury bonds was never one of Beijing's goals: it is the side effect of Beijing's being eager to help its export industries, which is does to give as many Chinese as possible hope for the future, so they don't revolt.

Kobo Libra 2 is a great e-reader. Works well one-handed (screen rotates for left/right hands), has buttons for page turns. Integrates with Overdrive (what Libby uses). Drawbacks are Kobo's bookstore is weaker than Amazon/Apple. Screen is also not flush which means some dust can collect in the recess.
Buffett has been aggressive selling stock in the last year ($134 billion total in 2024) and Berkshire is right now sitting on $334 billion cash vs $272 billion in equities. Kinda funny because he's the first one who will tell you "don't time the market", but he definitely timed it to perfection.

Amid NOAA Cuts, Scientists Warn of Weather and Climate Risks
Why is this not simply disqualifying?
Cambodians are, and they were just hit by a 49% tariff, one of the highest applied to anybody.
Hmm. The article's source is NHTSA data that goes up through February 2025 -- pretty recent.

The article cites 5 motorcycle fatalities in this data.

Four of the five were in 2022, when Tesla FSD was still closed beta.

The remaining incident was in April 2024.

(The article also cites one additional incident in 2023 where the injury severity was "unknown", but the author speculates it may have been fatal.)

I dunno, to me this specific data suggests a technology that has improved a lot. There are far more drivers on the road using FSD today than there were in 2022, and yet fewer incidents?
It ignores your points completely because they aren't true. The White House has explicitly, consistently, and in great detail said that the tariffs are not a negotiation tactic but a targeted measure aiming to reduce bilateral trade deficits. The idea that the tariffs are really about something else or might be removed in return for something else is, as far as I can tell, invented from whole cloth by cross-pressured Trump supporters who believe strongly in free trade but can't admit they don't support one of his policies.

Show HN: I created a ELI5 Blockchain glossary, with also a bit of interactivity
The reason is simply that I'm learning blockchain and i found myself searching and hardly recalling terminology. So I started building a glossary (that slowly i'm making interactive) in which the terms are explained with ELI5 analogies. AI helped me with that. Hope you find it useful.

I'm not sure th article had a singular point, it was more like a book review with some topical references.

The author of the book suggested in a YouTube video (based on his contacts in the medical teams) that the sudden and unexpected cut of USAID funds led to people half way through TB treatment being abandoned which is entirely unnecessary even if you strongly politically believe that the US should not be doing this and increases the risk of new strains mutating.
The consensus on tariffs in the US is negative (nearly) across the board.

More accurate would be “A small group of powerful people will be in favor”

I started programming at the age of 10 on a commodore computer. Did not have any friends or family members in the field. A lot of hacking, experimentation, and continual improvement. I still take the same approach today.

I am a big believer that for many of us, curiosity, a desire to learn, and no fear of failure are key to learning. I happen to be work in the industry full time, however I apply the same skillset towards art, cooking, welding/fabrication. The ability to analyze and problem solve is really what it is about.

'Learn to learn' is the advice I give anyone entering the field, and oh yeah, drop the ego as that tends to hold you back from your potential; we are are continually learning...

> tech is effectively the last “American made manufacturing”

Its at least the largest industry manufacturing here, I'd expect.

I have friends that work in manufacturing in the US though, it does happen.

One, for example, runs a family business making steel buildings and storm shelters. They use American made steel if I'm not mistaken, I'm less certain about other inputs like the paint or equipment used (certainly the welders, heavy equipment, etc are foreign).

Another works in the automotive industry. Parts come in from overseas and we largely just assemble vehicles here today, but I'm not so sure how different that is from software.

I write code on foreign hardware that runs in someone else's server farm also running foreign hardware.

Hell, when Microsoft was still shipping software on CDs you may have noticed a little fine print mentioning the Caribbean island on which the disc was technically manufactured. US employees designed the software, but for tax purposes the manufacturing technically happened offshore.

Software is a huge industry, but it is still heavily dependent on globalization.

I don't know if he's specifically said this but I think a more accurate picture of his view is "unless you're an idiot savant like me whose skill for this would be useless at any other point in history, don't try to time the markets".

I think it's important to note that in the past, typesetters and printers had a much more editorial role than the process today. Authors would submit handwritten manuscripts and the typesetters in many cases would have to fix the author's mistakes, spelling, etc. to conform the manuscripts to printing standards with the author having limited communication or ability to proof the final plates

Today, it's much easier for authors to have a greater say in the final presentation due to the digital composition process
Yeah, I find it specially frustrating to do it with a slow reader. Like, in 2 seconds I can scan the page and see that what I need isn't there, and the other person is there taking like 1 minute to read everything... Or the opposite, there is the keyword jumping at my eyes and the other person takes so long to even find it. There's also the whole issue of the person not wanting to discuss about anything deeper other than the task immediately at hand.

But when I do with someone faster and that actually likes to discuss the implications, philosophy behind what we're doing it's amazing
Oh that’s interesting, and I’m actually kinda peeved by any database-connected system that caches responses by default. Caching should be reserved as a performance optimization with serious correctness tradeoffs.

Regardless, I don’t think caching came into play here, at least according to how I’m reading this repository. I would expect cold caches for everything.
If you're not being targeted, like from a distance, it looks like "anti-intellectualism and fear". He's just running "distractions", or "scapegoating" Mexicans or something. It's easy to minimize it. Up close though, if you're the one actually being targeted, there's a bit more urgency. It's more like an abusive/controlling relationship. How many lives were destroyed or otherwise ruined by Bush's useless wars in the Middle East?

Now imagine if Bush had instead built out a massive train network, like China did with close to the same amount of money.
This is also why some economists like them, they're hard to cheat on. Know what's even harder to cheat on and has much less long term impact on the economy? Sales tax. A federal sales tax would have been preferable to the import tax. But there are probably other political concerns at stake here.

Yes, every release checklist for product documentation should include a box for a pretty printable version, such as a PDF. It covers several usability edge cases discussed here. Ideally, a technical writer acting as a user advocate would track this. However, this will often fall through the cracks in organizations without a full-time writer. Good advice here for developers and other non-writers tasked with documentation work.
This is a sensible approach. For me it's mainly a way to get away from the dreadful Berlin winters, to ride a motorcycle, and to see some beautiful landscapes.

It's not the best way to travel, but it's the best way to be away from Berlin for a longer period, since my friends rarely have the same amount of flexibility with regards to work.
I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Your eyes aren't good enough, compared to if you had 360° LIDAR awareness, which is the comparison here.

You're listing all these other causes of accidents, which no one disputes. There's still a whole range of accidents caused by limitations in our spatial awareness because we can only ever be looking in one direction at a time.

You're talking about "normal, honest mistakes". That's what I'm talking about. There would be less of those if we had magic 360° LIDAR in our bodies. A lot less. Especially at night, but during the day too.

This isn't about blaming anybody. It's just the simple scientific fact that human senses are limited, and self-driving cars shouldn't limit themselves to human senses. Human senses aren't good enough for preventing all preventable accidents, no matter how "honest" drivers are.
You mean betatesting on millions of users? Yes traditional manufacturers are very wary of class action suits and generally have some reputation to uphold. Tesla, not so much... move fast, break things, kill few people, who cares current profit is all that matters
I blocked the menu using Ublock Origin.
I'm confused, nothing about their pricing looks that weird. Businesses don't typically have large BI teams so you can ride that $199/mo $2400/year for a long time which is so small most SMBs can probably expense it without approval.
Because nothing matters. Just wait out the outrage cycle. In a week or two the general public will have moved on. Signalgate, the president being convicted of numerous felonies, etc being a few examples that pop into my head. None of this should be status quo but we live in interesting times as they say.
That is categorically incorrect. You are conflating purchasing power with exchange rate.
Let's not condemn the top tiers of the US government based on the top tiers of the current administration.
Damn. As somebody who was in the “there needs to be an out of band way to denote user content from ‘system content’” camp, you do raise an interesting point I hadn’t considered. Part of the agent workflow is to act on the instructions found in “user content”.

I dunno though maybe the solution is like privilege levels or something more than something like parametrized SQL.

I guess rather than jumping to solutions the real issue is the actual problem needs to be clearly defined and I don’t think it has yet. Clearly you don’t want your “user generated content” to completely blow away your own instructions. But you also want that content to help guide the agent properly.
Do you have any evidence to back up your claim that newer banks are running circles around US Banking systems? And what does that have to with Social Security?
You are aware that more accidents happen per mile at night? If people drove at night just fine, this wouldn't be the case.

Deterministic remote entanglement using a chiral quantum interconnect
The real value of AI is if they could make one that is capable of looking at dashboards. So much time is wasted making dashboards that nobody cares enough to look at.
First, do not put words in my mouth. I did not claim he was "bypassing" federal reporting. Although he quite literally bypassed much more strict self driving reporting in CA by claiming it was ADAS instead of ADS. So maybe know the facts before calling someone a Luddite.

What I literally said was Tesla doesn't release all of the self-driving statistics, like time to disengagement. They are noticeably more cagey about releasing that kind of info claiming it as "trade secret". Did you see the data sets you pointed to before pointing to them? Full of Tesla crashes, and full of redactions.

I don't need to dunk on Elon. He dunks on himself. Some people just worship him too hard to realize it.
"Lighten up and have fun," he says at the end. For what will we actually hold him accountable? It's a smoking gun that he's a bullshitter, but it's not a crime to be a racist.
The problem with "all" incidents is that reporting bias drowns the whole thing in noise. I clipped a curb the other year and didn't report it to anyone -- am I messing up the statistics? In contrast, hospitalizations and bodies are concrete enough to all but eliminate reporting bias.

Of course, at first this just substitutes one type of problem for another because even shitty drivers have to drive many lifetimes of distance before killing anyone so you wind up with the unfortunately named "shot noise" from small-N. But Tesla FSD drives so many miles that the statistics are no longer small-N. If supervised FSD was worse than human, we should be seeing many more bodies than we do, so supervised FSD is clearly better than human.

Of course, that number needs to be adjusted for critical interventions before we can say anything about unsupervised FSD, and in an ideal universe I wish Tesla was forced to disclose those figures. Unfortunately, we live in a universe where luddites are firmly in control of this conversation and I cannot deny that a forced disclosure would be heavily abused in a way that costs lives. Still, regulators get to see the numbers before approving unsupervised rollouts, and as a compromise this makes neither myself nor the luddites happy but I suppose it will do.
If only there were information systems that supported the discussion of classified information without the risk of including a random contact.

When I was around 4, my dad, an aerospace engineer, passed down his old Windows 95 computer to us. I loved rummaging through C:\Windows and finding all the little "hidden" utilities, it was like a toybox. When I was around 6, he brought home a binder of programming lessons and a worn copy of "Sams' Teach Yourself Visual Basic 6 in 24 Hours" from work and started going through them with me. Eventually I moved on to reading every computer-related book I could get my hands on in the public library's small, very out-of-date collection.

I feel incredibly lucky to have gotten the early start that I did. I'd be a completely different person without that.

I definitely agree with ads being bad in principle. But banning shills is an even worse idea than banning ads, because you absolutely, under no circumstance, can correctly identify those. Any "replacement for the small, actual valuable thing that advertising provides, which is providing information", is bound to become infested in ways you cannot control. Escalate this idea further to solve the issues you created and you would end up banning speech or trade.

For the past six months, our team has been working on https://revopush.org/ – The Ultimate Alternative to CodePush.

On March 31, 2025, Microsoft is officially shutting down the CodePush project, leaving thousands of teams without an alternative for OTA updates.

We took the open-source version of the SDK as our foundation and created a managed cloud solution. This allows both small teams and large enterprises to retain the functionality of CodePush with minimal migration effort.

Our roadmap includes further development of the project, launching a CodePush 2.0 version. In it, we'll deliver features that the community has long requested, remove legacy accumulated over the years, and adapt the SDK to modern development standards.
