If Hell exists then fear of it is healthy. Empirically I don't know any Christians for whom that is a primary motivator. In Protestant Christianity in particular, that's a weak motivator because it is generally taught that all a Christian's sins are forgiven through Jesus, so choosing to commit a sin will not send us to hell. (Patterns of sinful behaviour might, however, rightly cause us and others to question the sincerity of our commitment to Jesus.)

Personal pride in not being a jerk is a good motivation, but that kind of motivation can easily turn to self-righteousness.

For Christians, a healthy motivation is to consider Romans 6 and understand that if we really believe we are sinners and we really believe our sins are forgiven through Jesus, then we should please him by doing what he wants, out of love and gratitude.
It's pretty clear that the HN crowd wants to solve a mute problem with bioengineering and hacking. The ACTUAL problems, you know, the stuff that's so daunting that few startups will ever take on - well, we burry our heads in the sand. Any mention of this fact gets you downvoted.

The same story with energy generation. HN has a big crush on nuclear. Nevermind that nuclear takes decades to approve and to build out - time that we just don't have. But hey, as long as we can feel good about it, right?
...or you could leave the cows alone and impose some regulatory controls on oil/gas production and yield that reduction in a few months.

Big money is hoping to disrupt agriculture by shifting to fake meat substitutes. Shifting to some sort of soy/pea/coconut mix isn’t much better for the earth or human health.
Doesn't this seaweed grow in the sea? As far as I understand, the main water concerns as relate to cows, are about freshwater for growing fodder.
In fact if regulation didn't change anything there would be no reason to be against regulation.

I agree, but you'd probably have a different set of expectations if you were founding a company.
That's not true for most people. You just need to eat a mix of vegetables that provide the "essential" amino acids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_amino_acid E.g. Mexican corn and beans, Japanese rice and soybeans, or Cajun red beans and rice. You might need a Vitamin B12 supplement to help stitch all those together but the amino acids you need are 100% available from plants.
If it can be grown in salt water like the name "seaweed" suggests then there is no issue with water consumption.

It happens. I sent a dev server into a kernel panic when I kill -9'd a hung ddd debugger. This was about 15 years ago, on a 2.x kernel. Pretty sure that issue has long been resolved, but Linux isn't bulletproof.
The weird thing about this article is that it's only comparing annotation performance, which is important, but not what you should ultimately care about. If you trained a visual model using annotated lidar for ground truth, then you might expect better performance from the model than from human annotations of the image alone, and certainly better than a model trained on those annotations.
if you need order shouldn't you be using an array?

Wikipedia lists 18 different types of depth cues that humans use!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

This seems like a bit of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it means there's more than one way to achieve a 3D model of the world with cameras. On the other hand, it means that if what machines can do with cameras is going to match what we humans can do with our eyes, they will need to either advance along 18 different fronts or take some of those cues further than we can.
This is really cool. Both the action of assembling it and how they imaged it.

One of the amazing things about carbon is that it can lots of interesting things (conductor, insulator, semi-conductor, Etc) with no added elements, just different bonding and structures. Further, it is an excellent thermal conductor. As a result it has the potential to be the material that replaces silicon in computer chips on a very large scale.
+1 for all reasons above for ordered JSON, highly convenient in practice.

And if it doesn't impact performance significantly, these are all pretty good reasons for JSON outputters to default to sorting objects deterministically by keys, or at least to provide a flag to do so. (Even if there's no canonical sort order between JSON libraries, all that matters is it's deterministic for each library.)

BUT... I can't imagine any scenario where you'd want to validate that JSON content was ordered on the input, which is what was enabled in this article. Why does IBM even have that as an option?!

Be strict in what you emit and liberal in what you accept, and all that...
Doesn't that apply to every company that does technical interviews? What about people with anxiety disorders? Any interview at all is discrimination.
Yes, you're correct that the underlying algorithm used is very close to OLS. What allows the regression to provide an estimate for average treatment effects is how it is structured. Namely, adding in pre-treatment confounders as well as interactions between the treatment and confounders. I found this chapter (http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/arm/chap9.pdf) on causal inference does a good job of outlining the approach.

Yes, we actually explored other approaches such as PSM. The main reason we did not initially go with PSM was because of the compute power required - you would need to train a model for each treatment variable. However, we're actually in the midst of developing a way to train a model for each treatment variable efficiently, which will allow us to add items such as inverse propensity weighting (or explore other approaches such as PSM).
More just the phenomena that happens when there is an honest investigation into the mind. The west has never attempted it, at least I’ve looked high and low, and the closest thing I could find was Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. However still it’s superficial, like Yoga and western religions in that it never directly addresses the mind itself; it’s always focused on the content, as opposed to the commonality between content to understand the mind which is transparent. This might seem like a lofty claim, but is indeed what shaped the east fir thousands of years and is what makes it different from the west. That’s the root.
Sounds like normal life to me. Please give me $$$$
Some enterprising hacker should research who should be credited for the strongly-typed recursive def of Y.
Yeah. Most of the time I see people complaining about SQL, I identify that they are trying to build complex nested joins and other stuff likewise for no good reason besides risky premature optimization... And they end up creating little monsters that will haunt them sometime in the future.

Then, what happens next? They might end up hating SQL for no good reason and embracing the 'NoSQL' flag with any kind of non-relational database out there and make the very same mistakes they were complaining about SQL, only this time it'll be probably in JSON instead.

And they will probably notice earlier the errors and end up thinking SQL is harder and, say, whatever-NoSQL-brand is easy... only because they had more experience and a clear vision of everything when trying out the later.

I just wished more people would just keep things simple. For most common web applications out there a single SQL database suffices well, and you can do most, if not all, queries on two or three lines at most with no complex operations and keep things lean.

For sure, for search engine ElasticSearch is marvelous, and for keeping track of documents without ever losing data, Datomic is a robust and proven solution... but what I see is mostly people writing software for mom-and-pops shops using Mongo with no transaction support whatsoever.
I agree that cows are an issue that should be looked into, but ultimately cows themselves aren't causing more carbon to be taken from the ground and left in the atmosphere indefinitely (the issue is that methane is a greater contributor to the greenhouse effect over carbon dioxide, per unit carbon), so presumably in this case it's a matter of keeping methane levels below a certain amount rather than reversing carbon emissions.
Cameras don't work reliably in inclement weather either.

So what was Musk's point ?
Yep. No chance that brigading will result. Also, how good are kids at evaluating what other people have reported?
You cannot have false negatives. Ever. You cannot have a situation where the system doesn't see a pedestrian and runs over them at without noticing. So you need to make a very convincing argument that it can't happen.

With cameras and computer vision there's no way to prove it. There is always a chance that it will glitch out for a second and kill someone.
Scary thing is, anyone can say anything about anything these days and get away with it, whether it is true or not.
This seaweed does grow in the sea, obviously, however there isn't nearly enough of it in the sea to provide for the US (or worldwide, for that matter) cattle market.

Further, this particular seaweed is presently undomesticated – which means that of the various types of algal cultivation methods (rope culture, tumble culture, etc) no one has quite gotten down the best means of getting stable growth out of the strain. This is what we are working to do.
FWIW, today I was looking at a legacy PHP site and noticed a SQL injection possibility in its query handling which I fixed while fixing another problem. It’s not every day that I see these things, but basically every time I look into a legacy PHP site, I notice one or two.
I noticed that too. My understanding of what he said was most AV companies were using the lidar purely for localization (on an HD map) and not for object detection. This was the opposite of my understanding, so his statement was very confusing to me. Anyone able to comment?
>Disclosing, yes. We are talking about selling.

Journalists and newspaper editors also do not work for free. More importantly, speech in a newspaper is still protected, even if a copy of the newspaper costs money.

What is the functional difference between selling a copy of a newspaper costing a lot of money per issue detailing the exploit and selling the exploit some other way?
Except Toptal is a “startup” that took $1.5mm in seed funding from investors like Andreesen Horowitz and promised employees equity.
A large fraction of "agriculture" goes to feeding livestock, inefficiently. Some land is used for animal feed that is not usable for crops people would eat, but the conversion ratio for a lot of it would be better if we grew food for ourselves directly.

An additional thing to consider is that not all greenhouse gases are created equal. You can find any number of articles to cite as source that methane is 20 to 30 times worse for the atmosphere in causing warming than carbon dioxide.

They are refuting a claim that wasn't made. If they need Lidar to do better annotations, fine. You'd only need the lidar on data collection/R&D cars though, and could just use cameras on production cars.

The point Musk and others are making though is that the lidar on the market today has poor performance in weather. The cameras will struggle to a degree in weather as well, so not having good annotations when your dev car is driving though rain is exactly the time when you need the ground-truth to be as clean as possible.
I'm suspicious - this article has been posted several times in the last few days. Does hacker news accept dupes?

> pastured ruminant agriculture helps sustain the land.

That totally depends on which land we're talking about. In a lot of places, forest was cut down to create the pasture, and so grazing to "sustain the land" is perhaps misguided.
Before going freelancer route I was like everybody else. Send resumes, go to interviews when invited, get whiteboard crap. Usually it resulted in 50% times invited to interviews and getting offer 75% off those interviews. Then a hard time came (2000's EU crisis) and the market was drying, with hundreds of applicants even at small firms that were hiring. So I changed the way I was going about. Whenever a hiring was happening instead of sending a resume to the office@whatever.com and hoping for the best I went proactive and digged further for a phone number, called about their address and went in person there pushing until I was in front of a technical leader that was in position of power to hire. I avoided HR entirely and when in front with that tech guy I asked for real problems that they either have or had and to show him my way of thinking hunting for bugs in front of a PC. This resulted in 100% hire and I kept doing this for the next several firms I worked for. I got to work for Alcatel and Siemens this way. No HR drones, no whiteboard, just good old coding in front of a competent future co-worker/team leader.

Alcatel tried to kick me out with security. I went out on one door, entered another in next 2 minutes. I argued with them, I voiced that I will keep doing this until I get a tech guy to interview me. When head of HR came eventually and told me police is on the way I said "so until they arrive can I get that tech guy to do the interview? Because I will pass it in 15 minutes, that's how awesome I am". That line made him reconsider me and guess what, I was hired. My point is if you know you can do the job just push it, regardless of obstacles.

Siemens punished me for this type of behavior by interviewing me for 8 straight hours. No bathroom breaks, no eating or drinking this time, just interview with one manager after another, all with hiring power. First of them was actually the head of the entire HW department and he made sure I understood what is going to happen. Later on I found out who he was, and on hierarchical ladder hes was the boss of the boss of the boss of my boss (team leader -> immobilizer division -> BCM group -> HW department). After 6 hours came a group leader (BCM - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_control_module) that was actually in need for guys in one of his teams and I finally got to coding part and at the end of those 8 hours I got a contract to sign and to start next Monday (this was happening on Friday). Their punish made sure that I was actually that good as I was bragging at beginning and that I was willing to do the grinding required for the job. This way I got to work on immobilizer division (this was an embedded SW position). My point is that if you brag, make sure you also can do it, as harsh as it can be.

Yeah, it’s cliche but for kids, the quote they “were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should” really applies. You’re smart enough to hack the system but not smart enough to know that it’s a really bad idea.
Yeah, but the intent is to drive developers away from the building blocks of web and weaken the value of HTML standards and accessibility guidelines that make the web awesome. Evil has many masks. And a corporation powered ‘open source’ is now the worst evil monster we have had to face in decades.
net send is what tipped my school off to a group of students having deeper access to the network than they should. Turns out 'net send * "Hiya Man!"' is not very subtle. Before that, people were only sending to individual users, but apparently someone didn't think through the consequences of sending to * - it took about 2-3 minutes for the IT manager to show up. Weirdly, it was still possible _after_ that - a friend of mine experimented with using a tool to change the sender address (his IT teacher knew, but just told him "If you're going to do this, don't get caught"), so getting a "Message from GOD" wasn't uncommon.

They apparently missed that another group had already created their own domain admin account, and didn't notice that until some weeks after the net send incident (I think it lead to them paying closer attention for anything unusual happening). I do think they brought it on themselves to some extent - having a domain admin password of "school" (easily shoulder-surfed), later "<name of school with an o replaced with a 0>7" (ophcrack made short work of that one, using cached credentials), and a VNC password of "vnc" (server installed on every machine in the school), is asking for trouble.

Fortunately they weren't malicious, just curious (the most "damage" they did was changing a single pixel in the desktop background of all users to see if it was possible) - they even slipped a note under the IT Admin's door with the current domain admin password on it, but apparently they either didn't see it or didn't act on it. Given they had write access to every user's network drive, it could have been far worse. It ended up being a lesson in OPSEC as well - getting logged on a rogue domain admin account using a device called "<family name> USB" is a bit of a red flag.

I think the punishment was pretty fair though (despite some initial ranting from senior leadership about suspensions and getting the police involved - cooler heads from the deputy leadership and IT technicians prevailed) - helping the IT technicians out for a week, which amounted to cataloguing hardware (chasing down services tags), and re-wiring a couple of the computer rooms.

Pedantically, it isn't a lie if it isn't objective and measurable. It's an opinion, and opinions are not lies.

As for "Amazon's Choice", it's literally true. Amazon chose it. They make no representation as to why they chose it.
Ironically, that emotional gap / need is probably a symptom of the societal conditions that created the need to constantly consume. It's a hard to break cycle because as the other commenter pointed out, people will make up silly excuses for why they "love working". I would argue that in most cases the people that love working actually love how they are spending their time and not necessarily the outcome of that work. Maybe your work involves interacting with other brilliant, like-minded and positive people. Maybe your work allows you to support your family. Maybe your work makes time passing not as boring. All of those things can be addressed with activities that do not involve work.
