To some of us, patterns are interesting because they behave in interesting ways, not because they can be used to make a To-Do list app. Why the hell do you think people get into mathematics?

God what a world it’d be if we could finally switch video to sdi/dp over usb-c. I’ve had hate for the overly complicated hdmi cable for so long and at this point wonder why it even sticks around, the usb-c type connector is so cheap it can be made with a board edge, can achieve great throughput and is more or less ubiquitous. Why are we still using a directional plug that usually requires a dongle, has poorly understood power/data delivery standards and the worst “micro” connector I’ve ever had to use(broke 2 cables even though the second was taped in place to prevent the breakage)

Yeah, but if you're trying to promote your AI generated React bloat wrapper in a "Show HN", you should at least be honest and describe how it's actually working instead of writing mindless, non-coherent, intentionally misleading ad blurbs without any actual information imho.
You got some fun games! I like your simple direction ui on spaceword. And I enjoyed the time it took to solve square word. It's good to have play again so players can get better. I implemented it on https://wordglyph.xyz for same reasons. It's nice to see players discover the stick strategy over time and get better.
CERN (also in CH) made a half-effort to switch away from MS a few years ago. MS had started charging them a crazy amount of money. They got a few people working on it and even switched a few of the back end services. And actually the open source stuff worked amazingly well!

Then like a year later they doubled down on MS products (right after a new IT head came in). The IT people I spoke to had no idea why this happened but no one seemed to think going back to MS was a good idea.

it varies widely depending on the length and type of book and how much free time the volunteer has to devote to it

Anywhere between 1 week for the simplest (straight narrative, not too much verse or endnotes) and ~1 year (thousands of endnotes, pages of verse, drama, in-line references to book titles, use of technical terms, etc)
There is a huge difference between measuring the distance to a single target a few miles away, and measuring the distance to dozens of moving, accelerating, and overlapping objects in close proximity to each other and to the reference point.

Besides, rangefinding optics weren't exactly amazing in the 1940s either. It's why the introduction of radar made such a massive difference in naval warfare.

> Beijing has previously said it won't go down the FX depreciation road, preferring to keep the yuan relatively "stable". But that was before Trump's self-styled "Liberation Day". Beijing's first response might be to try and negotiate with Washington to get the tariffs lowered. But if that fails, FX devaluation becomes a real option to offset the shock.

They didn't take the negotiation route. We'll see what's next.
The difference is that the media would pick up the conniption fit, and ask questions endlessly. Here, we see a shrug and a decision to not follow up. The acceptance of sorry opsec practices is baked into the coverage
I believe they are referring to marginal costs. Yes, with economies of scale can become cheaper to produce, but they still require capital to reach that scale.

A well-defined focus can help management of a project, for example, by not having the participants spread too thin.

The racism overrides everything with these people. The red states have had the worst outcomes for generations but they still vote Republican like lemmings solely because of it. Trump just has to mention "trans" and they switch off their brains.
Far from expert in the field, but assuming that gravity is acts in a 3+ND and we observe it in our 3D world, shouldn't we observe weird peculiarities with it rather that just its amplitude?

Think that you live on a line, and you see projections of a 2d object doing circles on top of you. You would see the shade moving and changing sizes in a non-explainable manner to you.
There are cases where cars do need to move.

* train tracks as mentioned by another comment

* getting out of the way of emergency vehicles or following instructions from emergency workers

I don’t think this detracts from the overall point—if the uptime is very good then the times when LiDAR doesn’t work and the car needs to move might practically never happen. Or the car might be able to move forward to a safe position in some limp-along mode.

WRT “this is an emergency drive to a hospital without LiDAR,” I think that would be pretty bad to include. What exactly qualifies as an emergency (this will be abused by some users)? And anyway, in most cases it is better to have an ambulance for an emergency. Finally, an emergency on my part doesn’t entitle me to endanger society. Rather, the types of behavior that the car can perform without all the sensors should be kept track of. If the car can limp along without LiDAR, then that’s something it can do (with the caveat that some roads are not safe to drive far under the speed limit on).
I see a lot of people saying that this isn't statistically significant. I think that that is probably true, but I also think that it is important to do the statistical test to make sure:

tesla.mult = c(1/(5:2),1:5)
data.frame(tesla.mult = tesla.mult, p.value = sapply(tesla.mult, (function(tesla.mult) { poisson.test(c(5, 0), c(tesla.mult, 1))$p.value })))

tesla.mult p.value
1 0.2000000 0.0001286008
2 0.2500000 0.0003200000
3 0.3333333 0.0009765625
4 0.5000000 0.0041152263
5 1.0000000 0.0625000000
6 2.0000000 0.1769547325
7 3.0000000 0.3408203125
8 4.0000000 0.5904000000
9 5.0000000 1.0000000000

tesla.mult is how many times more total miles Teslas have driven with level-2 ADAS engaged compared to all other makers. We don't have data for what that number should be because automakers are not required to report it. I think that it is probably somewhere between 1/5 and 5. If you believe that the number is more than 1, then the result is not statistically significant.
They couldn't have done and it gets tiresome to repeat the technical limitations on extensions for vscode again and again (which don't apply to Microsoft owned extensions like Github Copilot) when you can google it yourself.
Yes, exactly. That is why we think the extra dimensions might be small, und the inverse square law is only violated at and below the size of the extra dimensions.
This is also why we are using the Yukawa Potential to constrain that possibility, because it has a length scale and a strength of a potential deviation from the inverse square law.

Good point. On the Daily podcast (NYT) Goldberg was asked what was in the chat after the strikes. He said a plenty of different emojis.

Neither. You stop the car and tow it to the nearest repair facility. (Or have a human driver take over until the fault is repaired.)
Maybe I missed it, but your not seeing a lot of Bernie/AOC push-back on these tariffs. While I am sure that hate the way Trump goes about implementing these tariffs they don't seem opposed, to even large, tariffs on principle.

It's a terrible thing to happen to a person. Language that minimizes negativity has great value when talking about (or with) persons in the post accident state. But here in this context, where we are talking about the event, in the abstract. That same minimization of negativity would only serve those willing to trade other people's safety for personal convenience. 1930s-esque language by the way excelled at glossing over horrors.

The numbers include all incidents where self-driving was active within 30 seconds of the crash, because of course they do. The meme that Tesla is allowed to simply bypass reporting on a technicality would be absurd if it weren't so voraciously spread by post-truth luddites. Look, if you want to dunk on Elon, I get it, but he does so many real shitty things that I would ask you to focus on those and not make shit up.

If anything, economies of scale are a powerful argument for free trade.

Say, we can have a single company in Taiwan running insanely capital intensive chip factories making chips for the entire world.

One downside of this being resiliency; what happens to the global electronics supply chain if China one day decides to invade Taiwan? Something not taken into account in typical economic models.

For similar reasons developed countries still try to have things like domestic agriculture, despite that being a low value add industry where poorer countries might have a large comparative advantage in a hypothetical free trade scenario.
Very interesting, thanks!

So the "emergency" is a possible war with China? But how does that justify taxing (for example) Canada, or Mexico (or Lesotho)?

We seem to have reached the maximum thread depth, which is probably a strong hint to us to end this discussion. We're way off topic anyhow as this thread is about the impact of current US tariffs.

But to your last comment, post-Brexit the UK is pretty significantly under-performing the rest of the G7 in terms of goods trades (prior to Brexit the UK seemed to mirror the G7 average).

Interestingly, in terms of Services trade the UK seems to be slightly over-performing.

Tariffs aren't necessarily bad. They can be a pretty effective tool to support local industries, or otherwise discourage imports. Or as a retalitory tool to negotiate with.

But blanket tariffs against the whole world seems unhinged. Many of the products and materials we import have no domestic sources or limited domestic sourced that are not expandable. The us won't be able to grow domestic coffee to meet the domestic demand. Tariffing coffee import is just going to make morning routines slightly more expensive for many americans.

There was a lot less pushback for specific industry tariffs or specific country tariffs during the last Trump administration. Steel tariffs and the trade war with China weren't necessarily liked by all, especially in the specifics, but tariff all the imports is terrible.
if my post above resonates with you, i can say from personal experience that inaction and carrying on the status quo (continual masking, enduring the “pain”, etc) inevitably leads to burnout and possible further mental and physical health complications. Please don’t just “tough it out”, you won’t like the end results. It takes a toll on you physically and mentally that can take months or years to recover from (if you ever do)

Late 2027 or 2028 most likely. MacOS version lifespan is about 3 years give or take so we'll have a better idea once they announce whether or not MacOS 16 (Sequoia's successor) will support Intel Macs.

I have a hunch we'll get one more MacOS version with Intel support since they were still making Mac Minis and Pros with Intel chips in the first half of 2023.
Jobs initially did not want to come back to Apple. Apple bought NeXTSTEP because between it and BeOS, Jean-Louis Gassee overplayed his hand and was asking way too much money for the acquisition. Apple then defaulted to NeXT. Jobs thought Apple was hopeless just like everyone else did at the time and didn't want to take over a doomed company to steer it into the abyss, and it's not like NeXT was doing great at the time.

>There wouldn't have been any downsides for them

Really? NO downsides???

- throwing away a decade and a half of work and engineering experience (Avie Tevanian helped write Mach, this is like having Linus being your chief of software development and saying "just switch to Hurd!")

- uncertain licensing (Apple still ships ancient bash 3.2 because of GPL)

- increased development time to a shipping, modern OS (it already took them 5 years to ship 10.0, and it was rough)

That's just off the top of my head. I believe you think there wouldn't have been any downsides because you didn't stop to think of any, or are ideaologically disposed to present the Linux kernel in 1996 as being better or safer than XNU.

LiMux always gets mentioned in such topics... it's an interesting story and as I've actually worked there early in my career I've written a few times about what the actual issues were and why it failed - you might read through [1].

tl;dr: LiMux didn't just fail due to politics (although politics did play a large role and I will forever dislike Dieter Reiter for a multitude of reasons, LiMux being among them), it was set up for failure from the beginning, mostly budget related.

"Why Do Prices Rise with a National Sales Tax?"

This post is assuming that a sizeable domestic industry still exists, and also that demand is relatively elastic. This is sensible for wine and maybe sugar, but not for the myriad of equipment and supplies it would actually take to create new factories. If the goal is to paralyze and destroy the country, the high import taxes that Trump is pushing are a great way. That people continue to "4D chess" this buffoon "for the cause" continues to astound me.
Biggest problem is the use of a SELinux compiler into components understood only by SELinux engine.

Does not help when the SELinux source text file is not buildable by function/procedure axiom: it is at its grittiest granularity, which ironically is the best kind of security, but only if composed by the most savviest SELinux system admins.

Often requires full knowledge of any static/dynamic libraries and any additional dynamic libraries it calls and its resource usages.

Additional frontend UI will be required to proactively determine suitability with those dynamic libraries before any ease of SELinux deployment.

For now, it is a trial and error in part on those intermediate system admins or younger.
It often surprises me that people think Tesla's sensor suite is sufficient for safe self driving, with quotes like "well humans rely on vision."

Human vision is nothing like the cameras on a Tesla. Our eyes have far more advanced systems including the ability to microscan, pivot, capture polarisation, and a much more sophisticated field of depth. Frankly, current generation cameras are in many ways far more primitive than human eyes. And that's not even considering the over 20% of our brain mass dedicated to post processing.

Yep I think this is really the important point.

Free trade has its own set of negative consequences. Namely that it’s good for owners of the means of production but not for the workers.

What’s interesting to me is that tech is effectively the last “American made manufacturing”, and the relative lack of outsourcing (compared to other forms of manufacturing) has kept tech workers powerful.

The same logic of h1b workers weakening the American citizen tech worker, applies to free trade.
