I'm not sure why your quotes got mangled. Maybe it was because when I quote I use two leading spaces? I do that because it makes text verbatim but I think the indentation just helps distinguish the quote better than the > alone. There's also this one that I always forget <https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc>
Yeah it looks like it needs to be assembled and written any time the kernel file's position on disk changes (`current_lba`), or different kernel cmdline is required.
I seem to remember having to do something similar with lilo… not hand-editing assembly, but running a command to rewrite the boot sector when the kernel moves on disk.
As other comments mentioned, the content is written in Markdown and rendered in the browser. So “blog with raw HTML” feels like a stretch... that said, View Source in the browser shows the exact HTML document that's presumably hand-written in the source repo [1], so I guess it comes down to the definition of “raw”. It could mean “not pre-processed”.
There's a menubar UI that appears while the camera is in use, to control the digital zoom and pan/tilt; zooming all the way out to “0.5x” shows the extent that can be potentially in-frame.
Anecdotally, the auto-tracking Center Stage feature is more distracting than useful, and best turned off.
(These machines have amazing engineering and performance, and their entire existence is a hack to work around rules making it unviable to bring the intended GR Yaris to the US market.. Maybe just enough eng/perf/hack/market relevance to HN folk to warrant my lighthearted reply. Also, the company president is still on the tools.
I didn't expect to be writing this comment on this article hah, but apparently there is such a thing called a surge tank for storing boost pressure to mostly eliminate turbo lag:
It's such an obvious idea that I'm kind of shocked it took them until 2003 to do it. Surely someone thought of this in like the 60s.
I would probably do it differently with a separate supercharger to intermittently maintain another 1-2+ bar of boost to make the tank less than half as large, but that would add complexity, and what do I know.
Afaik the general solutions to turbo lag are 1) a smaller turbo, 2) two turbos in stages, one spools earlier, the other later, 3) a transmission/differential/tune tailored to be in boost near-constantly during acceleration (something like a 10-speed cvt designed to keep you in high revs when accelerating in sport mode; not only keeps you in boost but is the ideal power band for these non-diesel boosted sports cars)
CVTs shouldn't even have a concept of "speeds". I absolutely hate how manufacturers will build cars with CVTs and then make them only go into discrete gear ratios. It completely destroys the entire reason for having a CVT.
I understand that they do it because people don't like how CVTs sound/feel, but maybe they should all have 3 modes:
1. Eco - optimizes gear ratio for maximum effeciency
2. Performance - optimizes for maximum power
3. Sport - pretends to be a normal transmission for a better "feel".

Assuming what's "actually important to you" remains fixed as you age. The article suggests otherwise, with caveats:
> At the same time, stagnation is not a certainty. Research suggests that open-eardness and the discovery of new songs can be cultivated. Finding new music is a challenge, but it is achievable with dedicated time and effort.

I read that as “playing computer games feels like work” rather than “getting games running feels like work”.
