I don't know exactly who to blame, but the android auto experience in my 2017 vw is, in a word, infuriating. android auto deadlocks for the remainder of the drive 80% of the time I put it in reverse (I assume due to some resource contention with the backup camera?). this can only be fixed with a hard reset of the infotainment unit. of course, the unit has no manual reset. the only way I've found to fix it is to turn off the car, remove the keys from the ignition, and step outside the vehicle for about five minutes. it's great fun on road trips.
I think they would if we got to a point where HTML+CSS+SVG alone was turing-complete and became useful enough to perform general computations, and large programs were written in it.

It implied that half of his supporters were (and given that his stance is racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic, it was a completely fair assessment). Who could've known that all his supporters would happily label themselves as such?
I punched "It's actually pretty simple" into http://talktotransformer.com (which generates nonsense text from a seed using an OpenAI language model) and after a couple of tries it gave me this:

> It's actually pretty simple. We'll be looking at something called the "D-Wave P-500", which is a version of the P500 chip for quantum computers.

> It's basically a single bit computer, but with more than 500 qubits. Which means that our "real number" will have more numbers than the number of qubits that are available. That's really important.

> Quantum computers are theoretically able to do more things than just solve equations. For example, the way that a quantum computer uses energy from an electron to solve a classical math problem, or the way that it can break a complex calculation into smaller bits of information that each can solve on its own, is very different from how computers currently work.

> But I am not suggesting that a quantum computer can be used to solve more abstract problems. Because that would be crazy.

> But to give an example of what it could do, imagine doing a number crunching function that was 10× faster than a classical chip, and that had some really useful, and practical things that would be interesting to try.

Because Talk to Transformer is trained on real-world data, this supports the hypothesis that the phrase "It's actually pretty simple" is often followed by an unintelligible and highly technical explanation.
One shouldnt take repetition to be more valuable than reputation let alone analysis.
> One thing to note: we want to be careful not to allow any business logic into this layer.

I can’t agree. But I also include operational concerns under the umbrella of “business logic”, and the only examples I can think of where I would break that rule with relish relate to ops. From audit trails to security.
I think OP underestimates how much variation is out there in terms of phones and connectivity.

And how badly they time travel. That's a car developed in 2014. Android audio launched in 2015.
More significantly, (as far as I know) there is not much open discussion about Chromium’s goals or roadmap. The reduction of Adblock blacklists in Chromium was announced, there wasn’t some public mailing list where a flame war began over it.
> Edible marijuana takes time to absorb and to produce its effects, increasing the risk of unintentional overdose

No citation for this. Do they mean a larger than intended dose or a dose that results in a serious toxic reaction or death?

Better source:

Median lethal THC dose for a 70kg human estimated to be 4g [0], which is slightly over 1300 full joints (at 3mg per joint) [0]. I won't link them here, but a cursory web search showed me stores claiming to sell edibles with up to 1000mg of THC.

Also a good read [1] [2]

> as a result developed schizophrenia

I'm sorry about your brother, but I want to point out this is anecdotal. Can cannibals lead to psychosis in people who are prone to it genetically, or are people who start experiencing delusions, bipolar and schizo-effective conditions just likely to escape using alcohol and marijuana? The exact cause/effect conditions here are a big unknown.
Maybe they hired some product managers from Microsoft :). I mean the ones that managed the whole mess with Winforms, WPF, WinRt, silverlight and UWP

That's a problem with the people who wrote the script, though, not the language itself.

Consider the difference between a minified JS script or one produced with emscripten and the code pre-minification. One is unintelligible guaranteed, the other … maybe haha.

Unfortunately, what tended to happen is people would write one liners, and slowly expand the one liners into more complex one liners, and then integrate them into larger scripts without refactoring. Regex can triple that problem (thankfully Perl 6 allows you to write some of the most intelligible — seriously! — regex out there).
"Fighting for privacy" and third-party ads do not belong in the same sentence.
another risk factor for cannabis users is contamination by pesticides. many of the illegal grow sites in California national forests have been contaminated by Carbofuran, a banned pesticide. this chemical is applied to the plants. these operations still supply a large fraction of consumer marijuana demand. if you're gonna toke, know your weed supply chain.
This. I am all for legalization but it’s not a safe drug. Induced schizophrenia by weed can be a thing if you carry a specific gene.
Well, it is really scary for them.

Cars buying decisions are becoming more and more about UX and entertainment experience rather than HP and engine specs and even driving experience. It is scary for them to cede control of UI and UX to Apple and Google.

Auto OEMs have can't beat Apple and Google as far as the head-unit is concerned. They should accept this and find better ways of differentiating their overall experience.
Often you're not scrubbing individual data, you're logging the contents of an entire object. In this case, depending on the language, I will usually use an annotation/decoration on the object itself so the logging platform will know not to log it. I have also seen this method used in environments subject to HIPAA regulations.
>but decimated is not the right word.

I think decimated is the right word, as it seems it took somewhere around 10% of IE's market share.
i can speak to Israel. Base price on cars is more expensive, then you basically pay 100% tax on the base price of the car.

It makes cars a small fortune compared to the US. When I tell Israeli coworkers that I paid about $6K for a 3 year lease of my chevy volt (after state / utility company rebates), their mouths drop. That's basically free to them.

Also in Israel it used to be common that a benefit you got from your company was a car (because it wasn't taxed as income). It could be similar in other european countries? which hides the cost of the car from many of the consumers. Now, Israel taxes cars basically like income so its not as common a benefit you see anymore (employees would rather have cash than a car). The only reason to get a car as a benefit if for some reason the company can get the car cheaper than you could have gotten it yourself.
There are no known deaths purely from marijuana overdose.

I do not accept as axiomatic that bike helmets are "safety critical". They may be safety-improving, but I have no evidence available as to how much.

While following up, I discovered that what I suggested is patented. US 6884501.

Anyway, please don't ask people not to hack on a site with "Hacker" in the title. You are free to replace your own expanded-polystyrene bike helmets on a schedule set by helmet manufacturers and cyclist-targeting publications, if you choose. I believe that if a helmet shows no outward signs of degradation or damage, and no known incidences of impacts, there is no particular need to replace it. Just use it until it's dirty, damaged, or unfashionable, and replace it then.

There aren't a lot of studies on the real-world effectiveness of factory-new bike helmets, and as far as I know, none that actually support any particular expiration date for them. Even Snell admits that their 5-year guideline is based on "consensus" and "prudence", and not any actual evidence [0]. And one of the arguments is literally that "we will probably have better helmets available five years from now". Having been around longer than that, it just isn't true (at the price point where I buy helmets). The bike helmet I have now is largely the same as the one I had as a kid. More holes. More fashionable. More comfortable. Functionally the same. Wrap skull in 2" shell of expanded polystyrene, and put a cover over it.

Keep your helmet cool, clean, and out of direct sunlight, and it will last longer than five years. Prophylactically treating one of the well-known causes of failure in expanded polystyrene, immediately after purchase, will help.

Anyone who cycles frequently will likely replace more often based on acquired grime or stink, anyway.

If I was going to buy a new-new car, the first thing I would check at the dealership is if the media/climate controls are reasonable (either physical buttons or 'good' touch screen) and if the bluetooth/phone connection is relaiable. If I found any issues, I'd just go to the next car brand. If none work, then I'll continue buying late 2000s cars and using Bluetooth to FM transciever.

Considering that late 2000s cars certainly do all the car things, there is little poing in getting a newer car until the auto industury figures out how to release a 2019 car with at least 2018 hardware and decent software.
any suggestions on what to use if Google Doc isn't permitted for use within an Enterprise? What tool and configuration can enable this?
One of the pellets in this scattershot is basically, because sometimes beards are associated with being a man, and sometimes being clean-shaven is associated with being a man, there are surely no cross-cultural or cross-temporal ideals about masculinity at all and being a man can be completely redefined by lecturers in early modern masculinity or whoever.

That being said, as someone who can't grow a great beard, I'll always have the Romans; can't blame it on gas masks or TV ads back then.
Court: Girl broke child porn law by texting explicit video of herself
When I read the comments of how people are happy with their 2003 model car X, or they drive an old but great manual 1997 model car Y, I get really confused. Safety systems in cars continue to improve, from more and better airbags, to crumple zones, automatic collision braking, pedestrian detection braking, intelligent headlights that don't blind oncoming traffic, seatbelts that pre-tension, better traction control, better brakes, blind spot monitoring, backup cameras, etc. A 2020 model car will have more of these features than an older car. It is more likely to keep you and others safe, including pedestrians safe. MPG keeps getting better -- the newer cars are generally nicer overall.

How much of that was due to smoking pesticides on the product, and how much of it (if any) was due to the product itself?

Until we have proper studies on this (which is hard, because of the current federal drug classification), it is impossible to tell.

CarPlay is completely excellent and I bet Android Auto is also good.
I would hope that your device is encrypted given that the US government is now directly bribing repair techs who find certain illegal materials.

The national academy has a very nice writeup on "The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: The Current State of Evidence and Recommendations for Research (2017)" which is by far the most comprehensive guide I'm aware of.

Personally, i first used weed when i was 22 and figure that's about right. I continue to use it in moderation. I would not be comfortable with its use by a minor child or a pregnant mother.
Yes, perl6 does a lot of things right. It's a great language and ecosystem that deserves more adoption.

But all the things the parent comment listed, particularly branding, are in my mind part of developer ergonomics. And there is room for improvement. They wouldn't be talking about renaming the language if this wasn't the case.

Is there a listed Median Lethal Dose (LD50) for THC or CBD?

It is possible to overdose on nicotine if it's ingested (50mg ~60mg for a 150lbs adult, according to the CDC's website), but I'm not sure if there is such an amount defined for THC ingestion.
If you do want to get into DIY stuff with lego, if you have someone you can describe what you want to they can make it in Studio, building software that you can find at https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/studio.page

You can then have them export the element list and you can buy the individual elements from the seller or sellers of your choice on https://www.bricklink.com on the secondary market and then you don't need to buy an entire set.

You could also just have someone sit down and help you buy a bunch of common elements in common colors from one or more of the larger sellers so you can have a nice little inventory of pieces.
I'm an Android user, but have been considering switching to Apple, and it turns out that you can make GMaps or Waze the default mapping app for CarPlay. I was just reading about it as part of this thread.

It seems a little clinical and dehumanizing. I wonder how people would react to similar writing about women:

"The dramatic uses of the sign of Renaissance femininity par excellence – the hairdo – reveal how precarious, provisional and potentially groundless the ideology of early modern femininity was, the very ideology upon which the sign-system of the stage relied. As we look at today’s hipsters – hairdos, cardigans and makeup aplenty – we may also wonder what lies beneath the surface of the identities that they construct."
I agree, I have Android Auto in my 2019 VW Tiguan. Its awesome but its very easy to spend more time than you think picking a playlist from spotify etc.

With your phone you know not to touch it when driving but the center console feels acceptable.

I had one close call where the car's auto breaking saved me from hitting a car that decided to turn without indicating. now I treat my centre console almost like my phone, I will use the console stopped at lights but not my phone.
Ok... so caffeine is addictive therefore potato chips are? Does not follow.

Addictive alone is not necessarily a problem, but it does mean there is the potential for companies to exploit that addiction to make money while causing great harm along the way.

> It's a free country.

A "free country" and regulated capitalism are not mutually exclusive. It's a free country and you need a license to drive a car. It's a free country and you can't sell someone baking soda disguised as flour. Regulations, done right, have the potential to make us all safer, and protect us from exploitation by capitalist interests. For example, stealing is very profitable... but we made it illegal in order to discourage corporations from forming around theft as a business model.

All that said, to be perfectly honest, my actual biggest beef with juul is the stupid disposable plastic pods. Everything else is... well, capitalism exploiting addiction for profit... at the cost of people's health. Which as you point out, is not exclusive to juul.
I remember being 20, trying to throw a party. We had to call someone 1 hour away to deliver alcohol.

There was so much marijuana that it seemed both popular and unpopular.
Sure. I’m talking about the general category of “software which must work, else people will die”. The difference between working 99.9% of the time, vs working 100% of the time appears to be very expensive.

Automakers and their suppliers could develop to the same standards but the software and associated hardware might well cost more than the rest of the vehicle. There’s no market for that.
Cannabis is meant for adults only. When the brain is developed in the teens, cannabis use may affect the development. Just like with alcohol.
AFAIK integrating an android fork with the hardware on modern devices is a LOT of work and usually done by the hardware manufacturers themselves (and this layer is not shared openly). These folk https://itsfoss.com/open-source-alternatives-android/ have tried or are trying to do related things.
I never had a problem getting it in the 80s. Sometimes it was easier to get than booze.
Yeah, the perverse incentives of it is “pay if you want to challenge a violation” that get even worse if it is “get a refund if we agree with your challenge” are why it pretty much had to be “pay up front to get into the store”.

Even were the store owner perfectly honorable in performing initial and appeal reviews, the perverse incentives would lead to a perception of unfairness.
Not the OP, but this is not anecdotal. Weed can develop schizophrenia in 4-5% of the population that carries a specific gene. Ref: https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/mari...
Ask HN: Has Google.com ever been down?
How would this look, exactly, though? If you're augmenting a human, where exactly is the "AGI" bit? It'd be more like "Accelerated Human Intelligence" rather than "Artificial General Intelligence". I don't really understand where the AI is coming in or how it would be artificial in any respect. It's quite possible AGI will come from us understanding the brain more deeply, but in that case I think it would still be hosted outside of a human brain.

Maybe if you had some isolated human brain in a vat that you could somehow easily manipulate through some kind of future technology, then the line between human and machine gets a little bit fuzzy. In that respect, maybe you're right that superintelligence will first come through human-machine interfacing rather than through AGI. But that still wouldn't count as AGI even if it counts as superintelligence. (Superintelligence by itself, artificial or otherwise, would obviously be very nice to have, though.)

Maybe you and I are just defining AGI differently. To me, AGI involves no biological tissue and is something that can be built purely with transistors or other such resources. That could potentially let us eventually scale it to trillions of instances. If it's a matter of messing around with a single human brain, it could be very beneficial, but I don't see how it would scale. You can't just make a copy of a brain - or if you could, you're in some future era where AGI would likely already have been solved long ago. Even if every human on Earth had such an augmented brain, they would still eventually be dwarfed by the raw power of a large number of fungible AGI reasoning-processors, all acting in sync, or independently, or both.
perl 7 would be a major bump beyond perl 6, but perl 5 has not even caught to 10% of Perl 6 yet. This a non goal for them.

For me it's the top goal, but I'm still only at 20%.

Calling this perl7 would have been a huge joke. Renaming the thing also doesn't help with the personnel who is doing the desastrous decisions they did in the last decade. Management need to change, not the name.

Are you asking what's amoral about Uber?

Saying "amoral corporation" is almost redundant and isn't specific to Uber--almost all corporations are fairly amoral.
The person you are replying too understands that it is anecdotal, which is why they mentioned that it's a woefully understudied topic and needs more funding for long term studies.
According to the author blurb, he's in switzerland now. The 225% VAT in Denmark is why he'd never gotten a luxury car before and instead just got the cheapest thing that could fulfill his needs.
