And today only fools pay the 10K one time cost. Tesla even priced the monthly amount to encourage you to go monthly. There's lots of reasons, including that they're not going to be able to upgrade people who got cars with the previous hardware, so endless lawsuits trying to get a promised but never provided upgrade from 3 to 4.

perhaps you should thing of launching a company to improve on hour tool, yc or not.

I'm getting this too, what did you do about? It seems to be switching me between two datasets. I downloaded the data again. When I click on "go back to problem 1", that's when it happens.

I do love this, did it last year, but the system keeps seeming to switch its notion of what dataset I'm supposed to be using. I used git auth.

I'm having a problem where the webpage switches me to a different dataset. I've been logged in the entire time in the same session, same user. I get "wrong answer but that's the answer for a different dataset". It seems to be switching me between two "problem sets". Then it keeps telling me I'm submitting answers too fast.

Originally I saved my dataset as "prob1-test.txt". It kept telling me I had the wrong answer. I did some debugging, perhaps I fixed a bug but I'm not sure.

Then I downloaded the dataset again after I really thought I had it right and tried a bunch of other things. I got a completely different data set! Call this "prob1-test-ds2.txt". I submitted an answer on data set 2 and it was accepted.

So I'm on to part 2 of the day 1 problem. I have the same problem again, I think it's right (but not impossible it could be wrong ;-)). It's giving me this feedback:

"That's not the right answer; your answer is too low. Curiously, it's the right answer for someone else; you might be logged in to the wrong account or just unlucky. In any case, you need to be using your puzzle input. If you're stuck, make sure you're using the full input data; there are also some general tips on the about page, or you can ask for hints on the subreddit. Please wait one minute before trying again. [Return to Day 1]"

If I had to guess, as part of debugging this I get a "go back to problem 1 definition" after getting a "wrong answer" result.

Pretty sure it's working now that I have the "this is the answer for another dataset" message, but I keep getting either "this is the answer for another dataset" or "too many submissions". I'm waiting a few minutes between them.

How can I fix this switcheroo problem.


Update - I see someone reported the same thing below.

I know how you might fix it, put a dataset set ID at the start of the dataset and tell people to skip it. Like (# 9481818). and you have to put that in your answer. This way you could detect this bug.


what is the impact on performance, does it require special ram? just heard about this here


sorry for the german comment - ECC is mandatory!

Obligatorische Pastete: "16GB Ram sind Flischt, ohne wenn und aber. ECC ist nicht Flischt aber ZFS ist dafür ausgelegt. Wenn in Strandnähe Daten gelesen werden und es kommt irgendwie was in den Arbeitsspeicher, könnte eine eigentlich intakte Datei auf der Festplatte mit einem Fehler "korrigiert" werden. Also ECC ja. Das Problem bei ECC ist nicht der ECC-Speicher an sich, der nur wenig mehr als konventioneller Speicher kostet, es sind die Mutterbretter, die ECC unterstützen. Aufpassen bei AMD: Oft steht dabei, dass ECC unterstützt wird. Gemeint ist aber, dass ECC-Speicher läuft, aber die ECC-Funktion nicht genutzt wird. LOL. Die meisten MBs mit ECC sind Serverboards. Wer nichts gegen gebrauchte Hardware hat, kann z.B. mit einem alten Sockel 1155-Xeon mit Asus-Brett ein Schnäppchen machen. Ansonsten ist die Asrock Rack-Reihe zu empfehlen. Teuer, aber stromsparend. Generell Nachteil bei Serverboards: Die Bootzeit dauert eine Ewigkeit. Von Consumerboards wird man mit kurzen Bootzeiten verwöhnt, Server brauchen da oft mal 2 Minuten, bis der eigentliche Bootvorgang beginnt. Bernds Server besteht also aus einem alten Xeon, einem Asus Brett, 16GB 1333Mhz ECC-Ram und 6x 2TB-Platten in einem RaidZ2 (Raid6).6TB sind Netto nutzbar. Ich mag alte Hardware irgendwie. Ich reize Hardware gerne bis zum Gehtnichtmehr aus. Die Platten sind auch schon 5 Jahre alt, machen aber keine Mucken. Geschwindigkeit ist super, 80-100MB/s über Samba und FTP. Ich lasse den Server übrigens nicht laufen, sondern schalte ihn aus, wenn ich ihn nicht brauche. Was noch? Komression ist super. Obwohl ich haupsächlich nicht weiter komprimierbare Daten speichere (Musik, Videos), hat mir die interne Kompression 1% Speicherplatz beschert. Bei 4TB sind das ca. 40GB Platz gespart. Der Xeon langweilt sich trotzdem ein bisschen. Testweise habe ich gzip-9-Komprimierung getestet, da kam er dann schon ins Schwitzen."


This has been discussed on HN some times before. User xornot looked at the zfs source code and debunked "faulty ram corrupts more and more on scrub", for more details see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14207520


Can't these companies needing 200 billion in funding to get to a viable product just die off (err, sell themselves to someone else) instead of wasting/spending/grifting for so much money? Eventually so much of the startup or engineering world's investment money going to these companies is going to hurt.

Potentially destroying a significant amount of higher level mammals in the ocean is a real issue. Spacex managed to built their launch facility right on top of a formerly protected area I think they'll be fine


You are missing that the money and research into figuring out how to solve many engineering and scientific challenges related to the missions had tremendous benefit to industry later.

As we gain ability to do my re in space more cheaply it will get more important


It's not clear that concentrating so much money on a single government project fosters more benefit than having the money go to a variety of other projects. It is easy to see the items developed by something like the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo program, but we often miss the innovations created by private industry when you compare a similar total spend (Bastiat's "seen and unseen"). One example of the alternative is how (private) demand for cellular telephony has triggered many innovations, from powerful and efficient microcontrollers to bright LCD screens, and fast-charging lithium-ion batteries.


I'm thinking that Apollo covered 90% of the useful spin-offs from developing tech for manned travel to the moon or Mars. And at least 90% of what's left was either covered by the ISS, or could be covered by a few small LEO space stations.

The economic cases for manned moon or Mars programs look really iffy these days. The US has poured tens of $billions down the SLS rat hole, with very little to show for it. And Wienersmith's A City on Mars is a pretty damning dissection of the whole concept of Martian colonies.


The SLS is widely understood to be less about research and development, and more about pork barreling, and jobs program. I don't buy that humanity should avoid investing in space travel because US Congress and surrounding governmental beaurcracy is not running projects effectively. That argument would stop just about any human activity.

It's pretty difficult to predict what spinoffs would come from attempting to put a colony on Mars. I would imagine to succeed we would need to solve a lot of challenges with human biology, genetic engineering, automation, and many novel engineering solutions.

But economics is not the only reason to do things, and I bet you don't expect everything humans do to have a purely economic rational.


If you want to do research to benefit industry, you can just do so. There's no particular reason research funding tied to human space flight should get better results.


what about duck duck go? We need a simple chart: 1. What browsers are good at resisting finger printing 2. tell for each browser, does it work on android ad ios and apple and windows and linux 3. what setting are needed to achieve this

for bonus points, is there no way to strip all headers on chrome on control it better?


This is my question also. I tend to not use apps, use DuckDuckGo browser.

I sometimes do use Safari which is a more convenient browser - it would be ironic if DDG browser is less private than Safari.
