There is definitely a group of people who think humanity cannot survive without becoming a multi planet species - now. I am not against exploration and colonization at all, but I think it should receive the mindshare and financial backing of an experiment, and not a proper solution to the current existential crisis of our species. I wish we could capture people's imaginations with incredible fixes to our own planet's problems the way we manage to do with space exploration. It is obvious why this is difficult, but without it we will partisan bicker ourselves towards extinction.

It sounds like we agree at any rate.

Usually other types of vehicles get a handsome ticket when they stop somewhere they should not.
They should name the feature smart cruise control. Case closed. IT does not imply self driving capability but rather more advanced cruise control system. Which is basically what it is.

Nobody is going to set a cruise control to a certain speed and look away from the road!!!
xip.io is one service that will wildcard for any IP address.
It means that when passing a stopped emergency vehicle, you need to change lanes to avoid passing right next to them (“move over”) or slow down substantially.

Hey, Heydenberk—

Why isn't this from Graeber completely dispositive on whether he is a loon or not?

"Apple Computers is a famous example: it was founded by (mostly Republi­can) computer engineers who broke from IBM in Silicon Valley in the 1980s, forming little democratic circles of twenty to forty people with their laptops in each other's garages..."

Genuinely curious: it seems to me (and to people I talk to) to demonstrate that Graeber not only does not do his homework but does not even know what doing his homework might be...

Can you explain, please?
If Tesla called Autopilot "cruise control with lane-keep assist", I think people would be a lot less likely to abuse it. By calling it Autopilot (and even letting people pay for "full self driving capability" in advance) is enticing people to use it dangerously.

> Loot boxes do not have the 3rd element of gambling

Huh? I thought it was well established that there is value and that, in some cases, it could even be "legitimately" (even according to the rules of the game provider) traded for real-world money.

This may not apply to all constructs that could be considered "loot boxes", but I'm confident it's not the case that the vast majority lack the feature of of transferability of the "loot" that would give credence to the argument that any value is purely that of entermainment to the individual user.
Why not? Isn't this the solution? I do remember hearing a while back that the cost for a lidar rig was around 5k, but given the fact it would save lives this seems like an obvious move?

Maybe you are CTO and I'm not because my brain is not fast enough to keep up.

Plus, its hard to keep enthusiasm up for the 500th reinvention of the wheel. Maybe I'll reinvent stronger coffee; call it "Covfefe 2.0", or "Blockchain Covfefe"...

Not really, because “real” diamonds have very little intrinsic value. Now if we could cheaply manufacture Platinum, or your example of perfectly cooked food, your point would start to be relevant here. As it is, diamond is already a very artificial market.
The diamond love itself was a result of marketing dollars from the same company.

Genetic Intelligence Tests Are Next to Worthless
We have seen time and time again that if corporations can wash their hands off of something, they do so. For the past few decades, and perhaps for much longer, the operating principle of corporations have been "if it's not illegal, it's moral."

As an example, rationally speaking credit bureaus and financial institutions are 100% responsible if they give someone a loan or open an account for them under your name. But they were allowed by the legal system to put the onus on the victims of the fraud to prove they are victims not perpetrators of it, and they called it "identity theft" instead of "bank fraud," and now we have victims who never did anything wrong or could have done anything differently battling CRAs and FIs for years to get out of a situation they should have never been put into in the first place [0][1].

If the laws allow companies to sell Level 5 autonomous vehicle while keeping the passenger (because it's not really a driver anymore) responsible for all legal matters, they would do so, and they would lobby against any law which puts the burden correctly where it belongs. And we would be forced to put our financial, mental, and legal well-being on the line just to get from point A to point B because it will be impossible to avoid autonomous tech then like it is impossible to avoid credit bureaus now.

Ask HN: Incentivizing kids
Recently the family and I went roller skating and I was reminded of a game our local roller rink put on when I was growing up. They would take a jar of pennies to the far end of the rink and spread them out. When the whistle blew everyone (on skates) would dash down to the pennies, slam into the wall, and grab as many as they could reach. The hook was that two pennies were colored black on one side with a sharpy and were each worth $5 (I remember because a pizza at the concessions stand was $5).

It was incredibly motivating to hunt for pennies. I decided to implement it at home for a test.

The system: Inspired by the roller rink I grabbed a small canvass bag and put in 20 white poker chips, 2 blue poker chips, and 1 red poker chip.

White = $0.05
Blue = $1
Red = $5

I then had the kids work on tasks. Small tasks, easy tasks, hard tasks, but after every task was complete they got to 'pull' and grab a token blind from the bag. I'd then add to their running total, replace the token in the bag, and pay them out at the end of the night. The odds being in the house's favor we got the place reset for the week ahead for about $11.50 cost to me and kept everyone engaged and motivated.

My questions:

1. Am I crazy for basically using the casino / gambling / dopamine model against my own kids? I'm even using poker chips, shame on me!
2. How could i make the system better?
3. What have you tried or seen tried with kids that has been successful?
That's a general problem with most news about accidents or deaths. They cherry pick the interesting stories, not the significant ones. The way I see news is that it's like fiction but with the extra excitement of being real, much like watching a movie that's "based on a true story". Its purpose is entertainment, not information or understanding of the world. Nobody should be making a decision to buy a Tesla or not based on stories like these.

I recently mentioned self-driving cars to somebody and her response was "Oh, one killed a woman recently, didn't it?" That was about the extent of what she knew about them because she watches the news.
To an outsider this may sound like there is some sort of process that resulted in this solution, there actually isn't any.

The committee is nothing more than a simple bureaucracy to the point that it is almost a joke how Russ makes a proposal, community is against it, then it gets accepted by the Committee.

imgur was never open source unless I am missing something.
A very early version of Reddit was open source, in the sense, the source code was periodically released minus some secret sauce, they kept to themselves. Last time I checked they stopped releasing source, it was such a long time ago that the current version doesn't even remote resemble their open source version, which is, AFAIK, as good as dead.
Well, their entire business model depends on persuading their clients that natural diamonds are a rarity and better than human-created ones.
So I don't really expect them to offer a non biased view here, even though their audacity is astounding.
Yeah, I'm sorry the title is a bit misleading, I thought of it mainly as a motivation for a more serious implementation of traffic simulator.

Right from the start it is obvious this "simulation" is not a full realistic one. Behaviour of vehicles and amount of them is not realistic and it is not clear what the score represents.
> The manufacturer puts a warning label, but the usage model/UI is clearly flawed.

Not just the model/UI but the actual sensor suite. Remember, the Tesla that resulted in a decapitation had over-saturated cameras that couldn't see a tractor trailer. Of course, that's where the UI comes into play, because if the driver hadn't been watching Harry Potter, he would have seen the tractor trailer as well.
Auto pilot != Self driving. People love to conflate these two so much that the people saying it rely on everybody else conflating it to justify their ignorance.

It's snowing so there is no global warming - It is "climate change" but the entire globe is warming!
This hurricane is just weather, not climate change - it is the 10th 1 in 500 year hurricane we have had this month!

I could go on. Sure, talking about the future self driving features (and selling them) is poor form to avoid this from Tesla, so they aren't helping - but they have always been clear that it is not self driving. It is the listeners/ readers that are incorrectly connecting the dots.
Unless if Lightbox can make their diamonds significantly cheaper than their competitors, I don't see why anyone would choose to buy a diamond with a logo on it.

That was 18 years ago, the synthetic diamonds today can be made to have the same impurities as natural ones and show up with the same spectrum.
I don't know where you live, but most banks in the US don't have that, and if they do, the UI and messaging is often terrible.
For anyone out there with an interest in stack-based languages, I highly recommend the book "Thinking Forth" (http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/). It is free and "open source".

I'm going to call out AirBnB on this one too. You end up seeing the activities of anyone who has ever tagged you as being part of a trip, even if you haven't signed up for the platform. Worse, you cannot make any part of your AirBnB history private. I'm also not aware if there's a way to separate business from personal accounts other than to sign up twice. I suppose eBay was historically similar, but even with eBay there wasn't this social connectedness aspect that you couldn't quite escape.

I understand the review aspect.

Make the vanilla beans (4 years)

Vanilla grows best in warm temperatures, preferably in the 70’s to 90’s. Cooler temperatures will slow down the growth. Keep temperatures above 60˙F for the most part. Vanilla orchids benefit from regular applications of fertilizer.

It really is good for a laugh, but it’s also an interesting way to visualize just how much goes into something as “simple” as a chocolate chip cookie. It’s the labor of many people all around the world to grow the wheat, the vanilla, the cacao, process the cacao, raise the cows, churn the butter, etc.
I think this depends on the difference of perspective between startup->fledgling-and-profitable company CTO and Fortune 500 CTO.

I feel like in the case of the later, the priorities are much more in the order of 1) manage business risk wrt technology, and 2) manage organizational processes wrt technology.

Tech is only the thing that gets you to the thing and the usefulness of anything new is either a) readily apparent (like from orbit), or b) can only be brought in from outside talent (failure of priority #2) or learned from falling on your ass (failure of priority #1).

My point being, it is of little benefit in this scenario to spend any time actually learning the latest fad tech.

> An autopilot maintains heading, and that's all.

Aircraft autopilots can follow a flight plan, maintain an altitude or rate of climb/descent, do an instrument approach, and (using ADS-B) perform an automated avoidance maneuver when another aircraft is too close.
Does anyone remember the bunch of PR around Diamond Foundry? https://qz.com/630512/would-you-propose-with-a-diamond-grown... was on HN. I've seen their diamonds and they seem quite nice, from the naked eye, to me. Their direct-to-consumer company is here: https://vraiandoro.com/ and as far as I can tell, their diamonds look nice and like other diamonds, at least from the outside.
Why are you asking me? Ask Tesla! And they won't answer. Don't be a fan boy.
That's a fine thesis, though I do think that software is one of those areas where a maker can under some circumstances, potentially have a vastly more powerful impact on an organization than a manager.

Opportunities are fewer and the competition level is high, though. To really harness this, you probably have to either become a founder who writes an early version of a product (very difficult), or alternatively advance along one of the technical track ladders that exist in some big tech companies (they exist, but far fewer opportunities and intense competition). There's a chance you could pitch a breakthrough product, but many (not all!) organizations seem strangely hostile to this.

So I do agree with you that going into management does offer greater opportunity for promotion and increased compensation. I disagree your value as an individual contributor is necessarily limited though, since a technically talented developer with a strong business sense can produce unreal value, sky is the limit on that combination.
No one thought it was viable considering the resources of the Da Beers cartel. In hindsight, they were right.

I still have a small block of manufactured diamond I had made with impurities (as a proof of concept) in a box in my closet. With age comes wisdom.

I wrote the initial interface specification for the co-ordination system in Rio's open-pit mines. The mere fact that we were able to account for the state of every moving thing in the pit makes this a completely different proposition to self-driving vehicles in an uncontrolled real-world environment.

Good reading: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/business/2014/10/air-france-...

Basically this is a well-known issue in aviation. As automation gets better and better, humans rely on it more and more and get less and less able to handle even minute failures in it. Additionally humans are absolutely terrible at being able to be dropped into a complex situation and have to make immediate rational decisions about it - thus the failure mode of "in case of error, tell human to handle it" is a bad idea if time between "tell human about it" and "crash into things" is under ten seconds or so. This has been the subject of many NASA studies and NTSB reports and the above article does a good job presenting this info in a form a layman can understand.

There are currently no known easy solutions, sadly.
