I'm inclined to agree with you. But I do think Teslas are different from cars of yesteryear in a few important ways:

1. They have massive 375 volt batteries that could absolutely kill you if you're a little bit careless.

2. They have that "autopilot" mode. And that feature receives OTA updates from Tesla. I could see improper service causing problems with autopilot that would put other people (drivers and pedestrians) at risk.

Maybe a solution is to separate some of the software features of a car (like autopilot) from the mechanical aspects. If you repair your car yourself, maybe losing out on autopilot and the like is a fair deal.
The issue is with "vulnerability". By that loose definition, every modern IDE has an RCE "vulnerability".
Is I understand it, if a house is repossessed in the UK, the lender only gets to keep the balance owed, not the full price.

While that may include plenty of fees etc, theres limited upside.

Foreclosure doesn't provide the entire value of the property to the lender. But it does allow the home to be sold at auction in order to recover the money owed. Any remainder is given to the home owner. That said it would be an exception to foreclose/auction a home with significant equity.

Major underwriters want regular payments. If they wanted market value property, they would invest in that instead.

If banks wanted to foreclose property, why wasn't 2008 a winning year for banks?
They're definitely not magic, but they're also not just friction on top of regular procedures. They have use cases and used correctly they make a game mechanics into composable and configurable puzzle pieces that are easy to move around. Things that are much more difficult when you write all your game code into a classic run loop.

I think the debate here came down to whether a person who is inexperienced with either strategy for making a game is much more efficient with one thing or another, and I can't say that for sure. But I can say that in my experience the ECS pattern has had benefits for quick prototyping and experimentation, and shouldn't be dismissed out of hand in such a scenario.

I’m being misunderstood. I do think that machine learning can be an artistic tool. I do think that experimental art is important.

The crux of my argument isn’t about the experiment itself. It is how Google chooses to present it that gets in the way of contemplating, understanding and enjoying the experiment.

LOC should have something like crop factor in camera sensor world. It would be useful measurement for LOC that's vertical style.
Believe it or not, I have. They're usually all-in, and they basically outsource their tech stack to Oracle pretty much completely, rather than trying to build an in-house team on open-source stuff, which has a lot of other kinds of risk baked in. Since the culture is sales oriented rather than tech oriented, they can concentrate on their main mission.
About that silicon valley job
I definitely don't want a "western" solution to a Russian problem... my point was that's pretty much what you're advocating.

The west has a terrible history of implementing these kind of self defeating, counter productive Strongman strengthening policies (e.g. Putin is largely result of the west supporting with Yeltsin), which is what I think would happen if you were to "teach the people a lesson" which if I'm not reading you wrong, seems to me, what you are suggesting.

Also, the question stands, what do you think the effect of your suggestion on the average Russian? Do you think they will see things your way, or will they (in some sense rightly) see this as patronising interference. How would a western person see it if Russia were to do this to their country?
I imagine Rue Cremieux had this problem before, just less pronounced. Even more interesting when Instagram _creates_ the buzz for the places not visited much, if at all, before, e.g. sunflower farms announcing it is cloed to visitors, forever:

This is how random forests work. Each takes a different subset of features and builds a model. Then models are averaged for much better accuracy. Unfortunately, averaging seems to be the crudest mechanism for combining models and far from the best. There are more sophisticated approaches like boosting and synergy (of monotonic rules).
Also, does the notion of eventually needing to turn around never stymie them?
So annoying. I had to click through 20 slides of a cartoon dog acting weaboo to see the code example and I still don't see why the pattern is bad - which was the initial implication of the post. Why do people bury their thesis in horrible garbage like this? Sometimes I wish people were normal.

Catching up on sleep is usually said in the context of "I'll sleep more in the weekend to counteract the negative effects of sleeping 4 hours a night during the week". That is not how it works, since catchup sleep won't really do anything to reverse the effects of prolonged lack of sleep. You certainly will sleep longer when more tired, but it will not counteract the long term negative effects of sleeping too little.
It's great that Waymo has decided to start selling bits of their tech. That's in contrast to other Alphabet-developed hardware like TPU (for training, not inference). I wonder whether 'for selected partners only' is going to be temporary or permanent restriction.
Tidal still sells on this basis too.

Lean that an artificial increase of the cost of labor causes some of the most vulnerable and lowest income workers be squeezed out of the labor market. Once too expensive, they get replaced by a machine (e.g. taking fast food orders) or the staff is downsized. Either way, those who were supposed to be helped are made worse off.

Their electors got to vote. Same as how they have two Senators like every other state.

And let's toss this question back at you: why does California routinely ignore all of California outside LA and San Francisco?

Similarly, why did all the polls and candidates (including Republicans!) other than Trump entirely ignore the rust belt? That's why his win came out of nowhere, after all.

Obviously those areas are less populated, but why should a minority not have representation? Larger picture, how do you manage a union of states when not even states but a handful of cities hold all the political influence?

If we switch to a popular vote, a handful of coastal cities will have a lock on the federal government.

In the long run, it's called the United States because states are sovereign political entities, and that union works because small states have political influence. Instead of eliminating the electoral college, Democrats would do far better if they got back to their roots as the party of the working class.
Like most things in life there's a wide range of skill even in licensed mechanics. Add to that the current trend of paying auto techs by the job instead of hourly in many dealerships and you have licensed techs rushing through jobs or low-dollar jobs done by apprentices.

That's how you get wheels falling off from not being torqued, bearing failing prematurely, brakes improperly adjusted or pads popping out, and the list goes on.

Unless you have a tech you know and trust (preferably an independent garage) do not rely on the fact they are licensed to guarantee safety. I could spend the next hour listing off instances of shoddy or incomplete work by licensed folks.
Your comment was probably meant to be silly, but in case not:

Using wall clock time as the measure, this would mean the birds sleep later. The hour we used to call 4am would be called 5am. Birds will wake up at the same physical time, but what matters is what our clocks say.
Just piping in to say, that, demographics of a city DO have an effect on violent crime. And a lot of it stems from inequality - you can actually see it literally on the roads. In areas where you get tailgated, music bumpers, and just all-in-all too different kinds of people sharing the same spaces, you have a LOT of latent anger. And anger rubs off on everyone. It's kinda like the theory of a single happy person rubbing off on others and makes them happy. Well in these urban areas filled with inequality, I've generally just seen mostly the anger spread.

It's an enormous problem that essentially stems from the wrong kinds of people living with each other. The fix? Don't change the people, change the inequality.
There are service centers completely separate from the retail locations. They have never done service at their showrooms.

They absolutely have ways to book appointments at their service centers and provide loaner cars.
A 5 to 10 day jaunt to other major cities or developed countries that you spend in a Hilton/Marriot/Hyatt, ride in Uber/Lyfts, and take selfies to put on instagram/snapchat all the while not speaking to anyone outside of the staff you communicate with at the hotel/restaurant is not exposing one's self to different views/culture/people.

And I think that's what the original commenter was alluding to.
They're not immediately repoing the property much less selling it. It's a point of contention in the US anyway that first mortgagees, who are invariably bondholders rather than banks, are leaving the properties vacant and unmaintained post-default to avoid maintenance and other obligations, often for many years, contributing to neighborhood blight and deteriorating property values.
I've always heard that pattern itself is older than C++, originating from Smalltalk.
I do the same. MP3s of yy entire CD collection sit on an SD card in my car and a Sandisk Ultra Fit USB drive in my wife's car. The FLAC files live on an external USB drive in my home.

I still have Spotify for the times I want to listen to something I don't own or want to listen to one specific song without drilling down multiple menus to find it.
Well, since you just need to restrict the operations one can do with data, even a Java or C++ style type system is enough.

What is best done with another language (or a complex library on a very malleable language) is permitting non-monotonic operations with a clear boundary between them and some code style that makes them undesirable.
> it could be that we're stuck on a very deep local minimum

I think that's likely.

Also, in cases where being able to be awake continually (e.g. high predation or flying over water) animals have evolved unihemispheric sleep, which is likely a shorter evolutionary path and largely satisfies the selective pressure, making it less likely for sleep to be entirely evolved away.
I'm curious why you torrent music still when streaming is so widely available and free/cheap?

Thanks for giving me a word that describes my instinct. I do tend to prefer small spaces.

This said, there are limits - in places like that caving gif upthread, I'd freak the hell out.
I’m not sure i can be that cynical, but you’re right that lenders prefer higher monetary velocity (in the form of transaction volume here), all other things being equal.

Small nitpick, but it's estimated that global population will peak at approx. 8.7 billion before starting to decrease. See: https://www.cnbc.com/id/101018722
The moral hazard though is that it would incentivize mismanaged companies to cash out on the taxpayer dime, leaving governments with poorly-performing assets.
Some of the very first automobiles were electric vehicles. And Tesla's vehicles inherit a lot from the existing automobile industry. The fact that Tesla is trying to kill aftermarket/modder culture around their vehicles is just a sign of how strong that culture is.
This is kinda funny, our main competitor(another startup) within the chatbot domain started without using any kind of machine learning. The chatbot just weighted keywords to predict the intent. They won some major contracts, but never got their chatbot to work on more than 50 different intents in a single language.

We started with LSTM's from day one, and has since then supported thousands of different intents in many different languages.
Feeling good that you have a job doesn’t mean that other problems in the world don’t exist.

In the UK the bank can put the property through normal private sales, using agents. In Spain the bank have kept real estate for decades following the last market crash rather than selling it at discound price. So that's a YMMV per country.

Don't forget that you hardly repay any capital at all in the first years of mortgage which is in favour of the lender. Similarly in a lot of countries like Spain, UK, France, ... if you LTV is too low, the bank charge you for a specific insurance that covers loss of value of the property.

The common wisdom was that indeed the bank would rather have people paying their debt, but I'm not so sure it is still necessary the case. One sibling comment to yours provide a different point of view, talking about how bank takes money of transation and more transaction is more money. Following the 2008 crisis that showed that the backend debt component of the mortgage is actually instrumentalised and resold and the element I mention here, I wouldn't be surprised if, for some banks at least, repossession is not part of their revenue stream.
I imagine there's some sort of "bait and switch" here where Google gets what it has always wanted and most car makers have refused to give it: access full car data and telemetry.
Instagram is in some sense just a label for the greater phenomenon.
I honestly don’t think that would ever happen, for many reasons, the first being funding, and the second being network effects.
You just assume Tesla has no way to provide service to hundreds of thousands of cars they have on the road? This is just FUD...

They are not closing their service centers. They are closing the showrooms. They are totally separate locations. The showrooms are usually located in malls.

Ask HN: What's the best way to start a SaaS company for an EU citizen?
I'm an Italian citizen and I'm searching for the best way to start a SaaS company. I'm interested in the following features:

1. Minimal bureaucracy burden: I'd rather spend my time on improving the product than navigate a mountain of bureaucracy. Also the more that can be done online the better.

2. Tax efficiency: everything else being equal I'd prefer to pay less taxes, but achieving a 0% taxation via some shady practices is not of interest to me.

3. Future-proof structure: I'd like to structure the company in a way that's appropriate for when the startup grows beyond being just a one-person endeavor, basically I want to be able to hire somebody and issue shares to a partner or an investor in a relatively hassle-free manner.

I can consider relocating.

What's the best way to do this?

How did you open your SaaS company, and are you happy with your choice?
The only issue with low bitrates is noise floor, so if you're hearing other distortions, it's not caused by the bitrate but maybe your room treatment or headphone drivers. A recording would have to have a hilariously large amount of headroom for 16-bit noise floor to be noticible when the music is played at a desired level, and while symphonic and jazz recordings have ridiculously high dynamic range, it's not 100dB of headroom, maybe 60, so 16-bit should be fine.

If you still think it's a problem, adding good dithering with ffmpeg's quantizer/resampler flags will make the noise floor 6-10dB smaller.
You are assuming that only metal pipes exist. Nowadays most pipes are made by either concrete for the big ones (canal like) or plastic connected with glue that is rated for hot or cold water.
I spend about half of every year traveling, often in particularly undeveloped countries and/or far from a mobile signal. Having my entire music collection on a portable hard drive is more convenient for me personally than being bound to streaming.

Looks really interesting but wow do they have every conversion hack enabled which makes it look super spammy IMHO. I’m all for converting, but there is a fine line between pitching your product and “But wait! There’s more!”
Or in this case, since the IThingyInteractor can do exactly the same thing with an IThingy if IThingy has a name() method, you can just implement it with single dispatch.

I don't know if I have ever actually seen a true implementation of this pattern. What I have seen is a pattern someone called a Visitor where a tree is iterated over and the "Visitor" makes virtual function calls on the composite node in a single function body without ever doing something different depending on the type of the node.
How many pedestrian/car deaths are suicides?

I understand that overall mass transit is safer, but it still kills people. Without cars you'd have far more people biking, walking, etc and there are deaths associated with that.

If we switched to mass transit entirely and it saved 20,000 lives per year, the US death rate would fall from 2.74 million deaths per year to 2.72 million deaths per year. And our cities would become mega-metropolises, and crime rates would likely increase (killing a few more of the people we saved). I'm sure in that world there would be enough other bad side affects that a lawyer could write a similar document about the ills of mass transit affecting health, race relations, personal safety, etc.

And we'd give up a huge amount of persona freedom. Through out most of known human history anyone who wasn't rich was unable to travel more than a few miles from their birth place, without joining an army that is. The car opened up the world for everyone to travel anywhere in this country.
Makes sense, thanks for answering!
>> Flying a helicopter requires such an intense mental load, he says, that even small things like pushing the “talk” button can put a novice pilot in peril.

No they are not that hard to fly. A bare-bones helicopter with nothing more than the minimum parts to qualify as a helicopter is indeed an unsteady beast. But such helicopters are rare, used mostly for training purposes. Modern machines, even ancient ones, have things like gyroscopes to take much of the load off the pilot. And autopilots really do work (auto, not autonomous). They can hold a steady heading/alt. Feed them data from a radar altimeter and they can hover like a rock.

The computers can fly the aircraft, they can literally make it move as needed, but that is a totally different problem than deciding where to move the aircraft. The pilot's job is making the judgement calls necessary to keep the aircraft safe. Show me a computer than can determine whether an approach is safe enough to execute, whether the weather en route is acceptable. Show me a computer than an judge which path to take to avoid carrying an unsteady slung load over someone's head.
interesting, can you provide more info on your setup?
That'll be mostly because they gave this talk and they link to it in the article!
