im not sure i agree, the romans had running hot and cold water, onboard their luxury ships, not just in a house. so the richest king in 1630 probably had a lot more luxuries than you are giving credit for.

Also there were many simple remedies for things like headaches dating back to the BC years.

Hand wringing is fine but it did not help the french aristocrats.
I don't think I have heard the monument story before. It sounds quite ridiculous, and is about as counterproductive as an example as one could think of, as it gets the 5 whys thinking completely wrong. Obviously there is nothing magic about the number 5 nor is it the case that every problem has a unique cause which has its own unique cause in turn. The point to asking "why" as many times as you have to is that instead of just solving one particular problem you want to prevent similar problems in the future. More specifically, instead of saying "the problem is human error and we fired the guy who fucked up", you want to improve processes to make human error less likely and/or less damaging when it occurs.

> I think the most important part of predictive design is personalization

You can have personalisation a priori or a posteriori. You can have ML logic to adapt to your user's interactions like yours, that is a posteriori approach.

Or design and have predictions about the user's interaction/attention/memorability and concepts like this which is a priori approach.

Now for personalisation, the concept lies on the data mining approach we are taking as A.I. architects.
If you are designing creatives, you cannot have a posteriori approach. Therefore, it is reasonable to mine data, create the prediction models, enable of course personalisation in a higher level and then let the user define the personalisation filters (like Grammarly did with quantification of the text).
For the mobile usage, the posteriori approach seems to work, as you say with boundless.ai and seems promising. And I like the terminology of AI co-designer.

no it's not. it's pretending to be, but without vendors actually maintaining and investing in their forks and the hardware having a known good security enclave, you might as well post your credentials on twitter.
I've been feeling this for a while now, where everything feels wrong. Airbnb is destroying peoples homes just by existing - feels like it at least.
I found myself trying to sell and market myself all the time, with no time to myself. Even now I'm logged into facebook and felt I needed to share some article I found, because I felt that people needed to know this - and then I reminded myself that I'm doing FB for marketing only.

It is definitely bad for university teaching, and hence the students who pay big bucks to attend, if their teachers are in such a bad situation.

That depends on what you mean.

Sometimes "open source" means "you can see the source code".

Sometimes "open source" means "meets the requirements for software licenses under the Open Software Initiative's definitions."

Similarly, sometimes "free software" means "provided at no monetary expense" and sometimes it means "meets the requirements for software licenses under the Free Software Foundation's definitions."

People really, really like to pretend that "free software" and "open source" are extremely simple concepts and synonymous terms. They're not. People like to pretend they're controlled terms and that the plain English meaning isn't valid. That's absurd. Neither one is particularly easy to understand because both are much more deeply nuanced than you see at first glance, and one look at free and open software licensing comparisons [1] will tell you that there is obviously significant complexity going on.

Yes, that indeed sucks. Out of curiosity, how much AMT credits are you able to recoup each year? I understand it completely depends on your tax situation since it's basically the spread between regular liability and AMT liability, but just to get an idea, is it to the tune of $1k/y, $5k/y, $10k/y?

I, like you, have a good amount of AMT credits from a previous employer, and will just start next year to try to recoup them more seriously (since in the years before I was always affected by AMT even without ISOs, due to California income...).
I hear a lot of this from people who've never tried Autopilot, and yet everyone who has tried Autopilot loves it.

My best guess here is that "babysitting an epileptic chauffeur" may sound scary, but in practice it's a lot less stressful than actually driving. Not needing to focus on lane-keeping and maintaining safe following distance is probably a lot nicer than you might expect – you still have to pay attention to lane-keeping, but that might even be easier when you're not forced to focus on the mechanical part of it.
My houses wiring is pretty new and although my homeplug units are advertised to run at up to 500mbps, I get about 300mbps out of them which isn't terrible.

Slight tangent: a few years ago it clicked for me how critical breath is in regulating the pH of the blood. The way you breath directly moderates the balance of oxygen vs. carbon dioxide in your blood, which on a basic level effects its pH.

When you hear people talk about drinking alkaline water or eating alkalizing foods... the most direct thing you can do to effect your blood's pH is by learning different ways of breathing and how they make you feel.

If you're brave and would like to experience just how powerful your breath is for yourself, try the technique "bioenergetic breathing": https://www.painscience.com/articles/breathing.php
The general consensus on pilot forums is that the side sticks were not a factor. See e.g. here:

http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=772033&start=...

https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/14027/sidestick...

The thread you link to explains why the sidesticks are a red herring:

>Again, the stick inputs from the PF are very easy to see if you just look at them.
You would see that immediately if you sat in an airbus pilot seat.

The PNF is going to spend most of his time looking at the instruments. He's hardly any more likely to be looking off to the side at his own control stick than he is to be looking at the other control stick, so linking them would be unlikely to make any difference.
That seemed crazy to me so I spun up a VM, took a snapshot and then ran rm -rf /* as root. Sure enough it started nuking everything it could, skipping over only a few things like most of what's in proc, etc...

Thanks, it's was interesting to see the difference!
What does it mean practically? What do you mean by "exponentially"? VW, BMW, have lane assist. It means the vehicle will stay in the lane. Autopilot will also stay in the lane. Let's say on a 30 minute drive, autopilot will disengage 2 times, VW will disengage 6 times. Is this about right? I don't see an "exponential" difference here, care to explain? I have tried several vehicles that have this, but for short periods of time.

The point is, none of the vehicles are truly automatic yet. I've seen videos of recent automatic lane changes too, there seems to be problems with proper speed and accurate changes, unless perfect road conditions...
Maybe someone can illuminate this.

This comment seems to say that Boeing has recently implemented a bunch of fixes to prevent MCAS from activating in various scenarios, which allegedly make MCAS safety a non-issue:

https://philip.greenspun.com/blog/2019/04/08/boeing-737-max-...

I'm not knowledgeable on planes, but some parts of this make me wonder if these fixes will cause the opposite problem.

For example if the two sensors disagree then MCAS now won't activate. How long until a crash happens because of that new behaviour? Either MCAS is necessary safety equipment, in which case this sounds dangerous, or it isn't, in which case why bother?
Huge fan of Banksy.

Love the subversiveness.

I wish I could have visited Dismaland when it was operating.

I’m also a big fan of Massive Attack where there seems to be strong correlation with Banksy:

Goldie once was in record referring to Banksy as “Robert” possibly referring to Robert Del Naja.

A framed Banksy sold at auction last year, and remotely shredded by Banksy, was just epic.
Thanks.

Drop to Black Hole
Let’s put to one side for a moment the legitimate problem of the millenial generation’s money problem... the central thesis here is that generations should be financially atomized and autonomous. No I don’t come from generational wealth but I’ve always viewed “my” money as the money of my parents and my children should they need it. There is an implicit social construction here of an autonomous nuclear family cut off from an extended family which I find curious and far from universal.

Ask HN: What timeline should I expect for a whole genome sequencing service?
Back on "Black Friday" of 2018 I bought the whole genome sequencing service from Dante Labs (US version). After I submitted the sample I would inquire every few weeks or so to ask about my results. Each time I would get "it's almost ready". It's now been over five(!) months and I am still getting the same response when I ask about my results. I think I wouldn't be so frustrated if the expectations were set - e.g. if they told me "it will be ready in six months", but instead I keep hearing that it's any day now... how long do these things take? Is it company specific, or do most services offering a product like this take this long?

My friends with 3 jobs don't get burnout. They work the hours they're scheduled (or get paid overtime). You perform tasks for a few hours (sometimes very long hours), but then you're done for the day, and the next day you start anew. Some days are worse than others, but in general, work doesn't pile up; you just do what you can each day. The work isn't "carried over" into subsequent days or weeks.

Office work feels more like pushing a boulder uphill, and if you don't make enough progress, the hill's incline seems to get steeper.

The program did not initially allow remote TAs, but they started allowing it after a year or two. The latest data I’ve seen is that about 50-60% of the TAs are also OMSCS students and the rest are from the resident program in Atlanta. It was my experience that GT professors preferred to have a senior TA or head TA from campus (usually one of their PhD students), but they were comfortable letting most of the graders be remote. Some online TAs earn a reputation for being awesome and wind up as head TAs, and some profs don’t mind having fully remote teams, etc., but that’s the gist of it.
this is a contorted, misguided, wrong argument. as evidenced by the lack of a proposed solution.

i could refute his arguments point-by-point but i'll just highlight a few.

1. in a couple of places, he notes that "employees" put in as much hard work as "founders" but don't receive equivalent compensation. this is an absurd comparison. the amount of hard work is irrelevant, it's the value you bring to the table. part of that value is via hard work, and part is via the unique (or not) skill set. the unskilled janitor or maintenance man might put in hard work, but is an easily replaceable skill. if in fact you think you are bringing as much value as the founders, but aren't getting rewarded, the solution is very, very, very simple: become a founder.

2. So while the VCs gain the upside from keeping a startup private, employees get the downside. What? Given the very well known, no excuses for not knowing this, fact that the large majority of startups fail, VCs take 100% of the risk, by virtue of laying out 100% of the capital. The employees get a salary during this time (no "downside"), and any upside is free money to them. Now this isn't a perfect rebuttal, but steve's argument is also lacking in nuance so i'll leave it there.

3. VCs have moved the liquidity goal posts _but_ haven't moved the vesting goal posts. Is he suggesting the vesting schedule needs to be longer?? To match liquidity??? this is nonsensical.

the overriding problem, he suggests, is this new "growth capital" phase. i don't agree this has made the stock option deal "bad". yes, it changes the nature of it, but not to as negative a degree as he implies. if he wants companies to IPO earlier, well what happens is that your 1 basis point of options will be worth 10x less than if you stick it out. it's like people complaining about dilution: dilution isn't a problem ... your net cash value increases with each round. it's not really feasible to have the hoi polloi be able to liquidate options at each round.

> Despite all we've read about this subject, are we really still implying that this is a software problem?!

We don't know it's not a software problem (in addition to lack of hardware inputs). We don't know that anything in the system is fit for purpose whatsoever. That's what an obvious exclusion of basic failure testing tells us. That the system had NO critical oversight.
Well in my case.

I have a theory that news occurs with a far lower frequency than people think, far lower than even when people try to account for their knowledge of the 24 hr. news cycle. In my theory, most of what counts for news, is either a story update (737 Max stories), or not news (say Trump "news").

My hypothetical news organization would strive to identify the unifying element of a given news item, and then keep one article about them. The article would include the following elements: a summary, a timeline, a fact set, and a commentary or critique. All subsections would be allowed to evolve, but the "story" would be one thing.

I've considered trying to self fund this somehow, but I've never convinced myself that it would really get traction.

The second question is a lot wider in scope and harder to answer, for one. It's usually beneficial to narrow scope to make problems easier to solve.
Correct. There's correlation with the band's tour dates and artwork popping up. Robin Gunningham is the other popular theory. Either could have been the "Rob" Goldie was referencing.
I liked Banksy until the day someone spray painted my girlfriend bakery delivery truck (she was store owner), and I got stuck trying to clean off the vandalism from her personal property.

Edit: just because it’s pretty doesn’t change the fact it’s vandalism.

Edit 2: to answer the question, how does my story relate to Banksy? Well, I doubt Banksy gets permission from property owners before he vandalize their property. Vandalism is vandalism - it shouldn’t be celebrated just because the vandalism is pretty.
And lane splitters are paying attention to the road ahead, and are watching to make sure they have enough space, that they have an escape, that there is nothing in the way, and that nobody has a turn signal on or has room to suddenly change lanes. And if any of those isn't true, they stay in their lane and don't split. Lane splitting sounds terrifying if you've never done it, but it's actually very straightforward and boring.

You as a 4-wheeled vehicle driver have to do nothing differently to accommodate lane splitters, they will go around you when it is safe, and as long as you follow the other rules of the road (use your turn signals, and don't suddenly jerk around wildly within your lane), everyone can be happy.

And if you live in an area where lane splitting is legal, and you want to be nice while you are sitting in traffic, you can stay to one side of your lane matching the other drivers ahead of you, so that while you are mostly still, bikers can continue past.
I consider DoH too dangerous to allow on my own network, so here's what I did: if you want to use HTTPS from my network, you need to install my root cert. I then proxy all HTTPS traffic to detect and drop DoH exchanges.

You couldn't pay me enough to live in an HoA. They should be illegal. Land is scarce enough already without those mobs ruining so much of it. If my neighbor wants to cover their lawn in rusted cars and paint their house pink so be it.

It really depends on the site. But you can quickly toggle which resources to load and save settings on a per-site basis. Very few sites actually need cookies to work (unless you need to log in, of course) but many require javascript. Some nicer sites like Google or DuckDuckGo redirect you to versions of their site that use plain HTML with no javascript. Hacker News works perfectly fine as is. It's a pain in the first week setting up settings for your most commonly visited sites, but it's worth it to be rid of Oath's nonsense.
Ah, see, I'm American. ;)

The lane assist can be disabled and a cyclist who hard-brakes in front of me is taking their life in their hands because my Ford only stops if I touch the brake (it just stops as hard as it needs to to minimize risk of impact, regardless of how soft I push the pedal).

(Sidebar: I almost feel like that cyclist game is something that should be solved with more sensors. If it's a common issue, you really want a dash cam to capture their image and report them to police, as inentionally hard-braking to trigger a car safety system is clearly endangering their lives and the lives of the car occupants, since the auto-brake is designed with a bias towards injuring occupants over killing anyone).

The real problem here is that a multi-hundred-line script was written in bash. While bugs can happen in any language, this particular error was due to a bash-specific pitfall, and bash has many such pitfalls. Bash is really only suitable for interactive use, or for bootstrapping the install of another scripting language.
It's the XY problem. Stopping at 1 or 2 Whys almost always results in a large body of bandaids, duct tape and bailing wire.
