Collision avoidance, traffic navigation, and determining the best route autonomously is already available for ships. A lot of the same sensors are used in cars as well.

Well some things are already done. For example Cycles X will be released at the end of this year.

Totally agree. Some time ago I also ran Blender headless with a script to render 'product shots' of a product that is available in over hundred different combinations. What is also very nice is that you can turn on API hints when

In the near future modern OSs will block the screenshot when you are displaying NFT content. And also the drivers of your videocard will prevent outputting such data via uncertified cables. There will also be a hidden watermark in case you

I am sorry but I don't get your point. This is something almost all companies do. If you are going to release thousands of catalogues you don't want things in it that could offense people. I think it would have been the same if th

This is from 2012 and was done without IKEA's consent.

I always think it is a nice fact that over 70% of all images (maybe even 90% today) in the latest catalogues are 3D renders. This gives IKEA the ability to change things (plants, wallpapers, and so on) depending on different cultures withou

"terrifying and debilitating disease" The only country I know of that treats addiction like a disease is Portugal. I don't know how this worked out for them but years ago I read that this had a really positive outcome becau

Yes. For example here on HN a blind programmer posted once he/she often had to hide the fact he/she is blind initially to get a job.

A lot of people don't know what privacy is. They use the argument 'I have nothing to hide'. But that is not what privacy is about. Privacy is your ability to control what others know about you. A lock on a toilet does this. T

Dutch fact about tomatoes: almost all tomatoes from the Netherlands are grown in greenhouses and most are grown on rockwhool. Computer systems fertilize water that flows through the rockwhool. The seedlings are grown in labs and then sold t

FreeBSD has been released in 1993 and has been a well known OS in the hosting world. Erlang has been released in 1986 and has been a well known language for message systems. When I think about exotic I think about some new tech that sound r

Having dependencies is not bad. But slapping a system together with a ton of dependencies you don't know about is bad. Simple is better in my opinion.

Automation can be good, but will also be another system to support. I think this XKCD applies: https://xkcd.com/1205/

And help your parents, brothers and sisters, neighbors, uncles and aunts to do the same. And set DDG as the default browser. I can't imagine why anyone here on HN still would use Chrome.

I believe there are two things everybody should know about HTML/CSS that could help you immensely. 1. Know that everything is a box that wants to float up. Learn about `display` and `position`. 2. Know about how things are measured. I

I am not sure. Maybe the law states you can only investigate what you need to investigate. Climate control and music volume settings might be irrelevant.

I just read some Dutch news sources to get some more context. Some things to know: Tesla hands over all requested data in case of an investigation. But only the requested data. Because we now know what data is stored more data can and will

A lot of questions about responsibility come from this case. If autopilot was following the car too close would the driver be responsible for not taking action? How much trust is a driver allowed to put in autopilot? I also wonder how much

Personally I like to add the context of the string, not at what place it is used. For example: title.welcome = "Welcome" button.submit = "Submit" In my experience this makes reusing of texts much easier and ther

As a developer I never had much problems building systems in multiple locales. I think on the web this was solved over 15 years ago when UTF-8 became mainstream. Over 10 years ago I built a webapp with over 20 locales without much trouble.

"What does .class.class do" It selects elements with the class `class` that also have the class `class`. The example might be a little abstract but it could be something like `.message.highlight`, which selects all elements with

You are giving too much praise to Apple. They never set trends in the datacenter world. Arm servers have been sold for some years now. AWS, Oracle and others already made the switch. And the fastest super computer (Fugaku, Japan) uses ARM.

"For most purposes, electricity is almost a rounding error in datacenter asset management concerns." I don't think this is true. It is not only power consumption but also power backup. If you can use smaller diesel engines
