Yeah very sensational headline noticed how it starts with "Tesla just killed". That's certainly not one of it's biggest benefits since you were already limited on how frequently you could use the chargers (you weren't able to use them all the time for regular charging, only meant for large trips or when far from home area. So the amount of extra you will have to pay not/how much you saved, will be negligible compared to how much the cars cost. So while it's a neat feature certainly not a big deal and of course wouldn't be practical to continue offering it forever as they grow, yet they are still giving another 1K for free per year which will cover the majority of people who have that years big road trip.
I wonder how much better the rendering would be if the audio track were much longer and the software would have more to learn. I don't mean more words for a 1 to 1 match since it's clearly beyond that (pronouncing words that it didn't see), but voice features that weren't in that short track.

Hypothetical question: say it had access to all the episodes from Key & Peele, would the rendering be better to the point you could basically generate an audio track from a script with intonation and all?

It would be interesting if they offered "voice packages" either online or offline so you could just pass text through it and the output would be a Morgan Freeman narration. You'd have a shop for "Cords" the same as iTunes for songs & apps. Maybe game developers will find that interesting, too. Having access to way more voices than they'd have in real life, and on a budget.

Someone could also save their voices for posterity. Many people listen to recordings of loved ones who passed away to remember them. Saving the voice for new content would be something to think about.

I think this is only true if the election results are both fair (irrelevant levels of cheating or human error) and close.

Should Trump win by a significant margin e.g. > 4%, that should cause you to ask whether systemic bias exists in polling. I think most of us in Europe concluded something like this when Brexit occurred. Some people were claiming the polling was accurate but the reporting was inaccurate, however when I doubled checked the polling I could see no discrepancy. Most of that weeks polls were very wrong and so were the bookmakers, the people with strong incentives to discern truth from bullshit.

Take a look:

It is really remarkable. Internet polls are accurate?!! Who knew! Depending on your reasons for believing in a significant prejudice in polling, that could indeed change the narrative.

DELETE is a bit of a can of worms - things like do you stick to response idempotency returning 200 even if the resource was already deleted or do you return a 404 on subsequent requests?

That said though, IMO it's way more intuitive to use DELETE vs POSTing op=delete or even worse POSTing to a /resource/delete endpoint.

Scarcity still applies to robots/automation. Robots are not free, the resources used to make and maintain them are not free, and they still exist in a world where information and time are limited. Note that the fast-food-worker, definitionally, has another thing they're least bad at that they now move to - which is really the story we've seen with all of the process of automation.

Now, if you had robots that could replicate themselves indefinitely, with effectively unlimited resources, then yes, comparative advantage would cease to apply in the sense I'm talking about. But then we'd have a Star Trek replicator economy, and we wouldn't have to worry about not having an "income" from work.

Yes, agreed, I was condescending, and I will do better next time. To be honest, I've learned a lot about how to post civilly over the years on HN, and I still make mistakes. My post above is not an example of my best work. ;)

But - answer me honestly - do you think what I said is less accurate or more condescending than what @tnones said about Brie? Do you think my comment was out of proportion or very different in tone to what he said? He dismissed Brie's words as "typical feminist schtick" when she was relating her own feelings and talking about video games, and when she clearly has mountains more experience in the industry than @tnones. Do you think that was fair and not shitty, what @tnones said?

Challenging indeed, but I wonder what percentage of a population you could get to do it, and whether it would make a significant enough impact to actually increase the chances of the entire crowd getting out alive.

After all, we have firefighters run into fires. And the odd random 'hero'. So it isn't impossible. I wonder, if it could be proven to actually improve your chance of survival, how many people could be incited to move toward the least dense space (toward the fire) assuming they wouldn't be slowing the escape by doing so (not already near an exit), and perhaps even pull back others from pushing at the rear of the crowd. If you could remove enough pressure to allow freer movement of the people near the exits to significantly increase the exit flow, it could perhaps make enough difference to save everyone, including the people who voluntarily moved to the back, who may or may not have made it by simply crushing at the door.

It would probably be highly dependent on conditions and how many people could be expected to take such an 'enlightened self interest' amid a panic. But it would be neat to see it modeled.

From the Wikipedia article:

"The Aegean Collapse has been attributed to the exhaustion of the Cyprus forests causing the end of the bronze trade. These forests are known to have existed into later times, and experiments have shown that charcoal production on the scale necessary for the bronze production of the late Bronze Age would have exhausted them in less than fifty years."

This is a great way to make your programs "fun" to port to new platforms with new compilers in terrifyingly subtle ways.

There are safety concerns, but I think there are differences in product maturity. Quorn products have been available since the 80's, and early 2000's in the USA. Over the last ~15 years there have been a couple thousand complaints over the products, but since these are not incident related I would characterize them more like complaints about specific ingredients. Some people get reactions to peanuts, red wine, etc, but we do not consider that the manufacturer is at fault.

Thanks for getting me to take a look at Quorn safety. I've been eating it for years, and continue to. Even though I am no longer really a vegetarian I enjoy Quorn products more than chicken based products since Quorn has better product consistency (not fat or gristle bits) than animal sources.

My personal experience with Le people.

Overall impression: incompetent people with truckloads of cash; well, just like any other company that managed to secure a dominant position in any market niche in China. In their case it was "Chinese soap operas on demand". My girlfriend was offered a "personal secretary" position in their Russian office. Amazingly, they appointed a Chinese C-level for their Russian office who does't speak any foreign language at all. Weighting all pros, and cons, I dissuaded her from taking it and never regretted my decision.

So what do they want to push in Russia? The same Chinese soap operas, but with computer translated Russian subtitles. They ran a ~50-70 people operation in Russia for close to a year, just to invite tons of market entry consultants, make a single landing page, and do a 1 few weeks trial run of their Russian website.
Really doesn't seem like a huge deal to me. People are complex and sometimes have allergies or reactions to foods that they don't even know or understand. A neighbor of mine has an allergy to MSG and it took him years to realize it. He's still does trial-and-error on new foods to determine which ones contain MSG as part of their "natural flavors" (sometimes with painful results).

The difference here is that Soylent is a "food replacement". That means it's often the only thing these people eat and a small change to the formulation could be a breaking change for a few of them.
Compared to RaPi it looks bad, but if you compare OrangePi to say ESP8266, it looks like a good deal (for certain projects):

* 16GB Flash v/s couple of MB Flash on ESP8266

* All other goodies: 4USB ports, Audio/Video, HDMI, Camera, SATA, IR

* 15$ v/s 5$

Just because something is turing complete doesn't mean that a generator has to be able to generate anything possible.

HTML is standard. Even more importantly it has rich and standard semantics. Your homebrew protocol based on JSON is not and does not. You write an interpreter for it every single time without even realizing it.

The thing you cooked up in 10 minutes does not follow the principles of progressive enhancement. This immediately closes up lots of doors.
Specifying alignment might make the crash go away. Like the "disable SSE" solution of the post, it does not make the undefined behavior go away and is not actually a solution.

Personally in this case I'd love for more competition. However I'll probably never buy a Samsung phone now between how awful their version of Android is, lack of updates, explosion concerns, and the fact that I don't think they will ever have an assistant that can rival Google.

They are good at hardware in ways Apple is not, but both Apple and Samsung are horrible at web integrated services like this compared to Google. I just don't think it's in their DNA.

Take a step back and focus on JavaScript the language. Really learn how things work. Then take a step even further back. Learn more about data structures, about abstractions and how to think declaratively vs. imperatively. Rinse and repeat for the rest of the stack.

That way you'll have a solid foundation to build on top of. At some point you'll start to see patterns, and that all the "new" things are just incrementally improved materializations of patterns and concepts that have existed since way before the web was even thought of.

Spend most of your learning/experimenting time on fundamentals (timeless). Learn actual implementations and specifics when you need to, just in time. Avoid learning specifics (lib/fw) just in case.

> People are complex and sometimes have allergies or reactions to foods that they don't even know or understand.

That's fine, but Soylent marketed the product as being suitable for everyone even if they had allergies.

Soylent's words:

> "For anyone that struggles with allergies, heartburn, acid reflux or digestion, has trouble controlling weight or cholesterol, or simply doesn't have the means to eat well, soylent is for you."

EDIT: I think this is scumbag behaviour on Soylent's part.
Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents since I also explored the real estate market in Canada:

Competition is tough here and I had a chat with a few real estate agents. Many of them told me it's a local market and that they get found through local ads or referrals from clients. Their websites are also suffering from bad SEO - one agent told me that there are other websites taking his properties and are ranked higher on Google than his own website.

The #1 thing real estate agents cared about the most, according to my discussions, was leads. The only thing that they wanted to pay me for was leads.

And as many other people said, real estate agents are busy people and may not have the time to build their own website. Their job is to sell houses and will gladly pay to have someone else set everything up for them - you might want to think about other stakeholders you can partner with (i.e. marketing consultants) that can help you onboard real estate agents.

Ok - it seems that they 'absolutely' have something bewildering, and eye-popping. There are enough 'no information' testimonials by smart people to get that.

BUT

I'm still pretty weary of billions getting pumped into a business that remains unproven.

+ Maybe development is very expensive
+ Maybe the goggles cost to much
+ Maybe they just don't have quite enough content to justify the high costs
+ Maybe the experience 'isn't quite there'

So many times these 'wow' toys have proven to be near-duds when they actually hit market reality.

I can't wait to try it, but I'm also looking forward to seeing the reality of it.
