A new obstacle to landing a job after college: getting approved by AI

If they could put relatively cheap cameras on the "back" of these satellites (without them being destroyed when facing the sun) and publish the data they collect, that might be enough to stem the flow of negative publicity.

Maybe even become a net positive for astronomy? Since the volume and density of the data collected would increase as the fleet grows, the value presumably increases as well, hopefully faster than the problems that they create.

It's a possibility, but I sometime have the feeling that people dismiss the idea that such a simple model of the brain could be enough to explain complex behaviors because they want to believe there is more to the brain.

I'm sure real neurons are very complex and difficult to model, but I also believe that the real challenge is to explain how neurons interact with each other, not how they behave individually.
Companies found plenty of child labour back in the day as well.
Though it's not likely too distorted, because the average hourly gross pay was similar to what DoorDash cites [we can't tell how close because DD doesn't explain their exact methodology]; just the net pay is very low.
These people often have reasons why they are not already working a more classic job and are unlikely be hired or in some cases want to work under whatever new standards and time commitments required for full time employees of these apps.
Ever putting private data in a public place, is an unacceptable risk. Even if you remember to remove it there is a window of vulnerability. And there are people out there constantly probing for weaknesses.

Starlink could potentially disrupt that. Most likely it will not, but who knows.

One could also argue that satellites that do not fully burn in atmosphere produce waste.

From legal perspective, I guess it's hard to argue that there is no impact, if you do not asses the impact.

Agreed. If the ERP is not customizable to your company, then the employees will find ways to work outside of the ERP.

Then you end up with teams having their own Dropbox and a bunch of custom Excel templates. Worse yet, employees waste 20-30% of their time manually converting their custom process into the ERP.

Then if a key employee leaves, suddenly people wonder why the ERP isn’t correctly working anymore, without realizing that person was the glue, binding the actual custom process with the mandated ERP.
Sorry dude I'm not really tracking with you at all. The OP posited some plain issues that can be dissected and dismissed but was muted by a mod that works for an organization that benefits from just burying said issues. I lean conservative and can't really see how anyone in tech says with a straight face the "gig economy" is good for anybody except the 10^5 or so technical staff and their management and financiers. A modest understanding of history (i.e. what technology meant in the 60s and 70s) just leaves me bewildered with what constitutes tech now, and the flow of money from monetary policy down to banks and VCs is they main cause of overall stalling out of fundamental, worthwhile, and simply interesting progress. The cashout culture of things like WeWork is a totally different dimension of the bizarre and unsavory. VCs should be tired enabling and propping this farce up.

A desire for intellectualism comes from allowing airtime for ideas that you disagree with, that might even confront yourself, and maybe even elucidating and moving the tonal argument you disagree with to the very roots of the things that need to be discussed and providing ample discourse for the thoughts to be explored. Whether you are doing this or not I can't really tell right now, but you are not the target of my comments, the mod mute is. I'm happy to just go away at this point, this site and surrounding culture has changed for the worse in the 12 years I've seen.

Good advice here. 3RM in my opinion is even pushing it and not something you want to do often. 5RM is probably more ideal to do on a semi-regular basis.

Form is critical too, so with every single lift that you do, make sure you're using the correct form first, otherwise you're potentially wasting your time and putting yourself at risk of injury.

Yup. Putting things in quotes is no longer "find this exact term" but a best match for most things.

And on top of that you can't find specific information on actual data if it anyway correlates to businesses that advertise. It's gotten painfully difficult to research markets that I'm casually interested in (e.g. tonight I wanted to compare a few cities by how many hotels they had - this is impossible on google and duck duck go with simple queries).

They really aren't doing a great job of cataloging data and making it useful to anyone but advertisers.
Hey, I wrote one of these, too! Mine generates and solves all possible
puzzles (with my dictionary, there are 54733) in about 1.8 seconds on my
six-year-old laptop, and can also typeset them to LaTeX+TikZ to make
printable puzzle sheets. That’s 0.03 milliseconds per puzzle. It turns
out that you can get this thing to run quite fast once you realize that
you can pack words into bitsets and express the whole algorithm in terms
of bitwise operations on machine words. Of particular interest is that
the running time is output-sensitive: proportional to the number of
solutions to the puzzle but not the total size of the dictionary (after
one-time preprocessing).

I used the “hard copy” rule set as used in the printed New York Times,
which is slightly different from the web rule set: words must be at
least five letters long, not four, and are worth 1 point each, or 3 for
a pangram. The hard copy puzzles also include three score thresholds, so
I had a bit of fun trying to reverse-engineer how those thresholds are
chosen. I didn’t get exactly the right function, but I got fairly close,
and most importantly the thresholds feel fair when playing. (The online
version also has score thresholds, but there are many more of them, and
it was easy for me to transcribe thresholds from the archives of the
printed copies.)

In my admittedly biased yet assuredly humble opinion, both the algorithm
performance and the rating threshold estimation are interesting:

Another NEPA issue this week was the fuel dumping by Delta Flight 89 - https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/delta-777-dumps-fuel-on-s...

I feel that aviation regulators should have addressed this a hundred years ago. No aircraft that's above its maximum safe landing weight should ever have been allowed to take off.

(I realize it's inconvenient to impose this regulation today. Maximum safe landing weights can be a hundred thousand pounds less than maximum safe takeoff weights.)
That worked for you, good. But my personal anecdote agrees with jacobolus, and one anecdote is as good as another. I completed all the spelling books through HS by 4th grade because I read so much. The downside was, of course, that I would regularly mispronounce words.

I don't think DoorDash has to be less efficient for traveling than pizza delivery.

With pizza delivery, you have to drive to the person's house then back. So you cover the same road twice for a single delivery.

But with DoorDash, theoretically, then could see there's an order from A to B, find a driver near A, have the driver deliver to B, then match that driver up with an order from near B to near A. So the driver could do 2 deliveries in a single out and back trip.

How much of the market is actually owned by the middle class? I would say not much in the US.

See page 44 of the paper below.

You can look at Income, Wealth (net worth) or financial resources. Net Worth is probably the best estimate. You'll notice the top 1% has ~40% of the wealth. The next 4% have ~30% of the wealth.

So it would be very inaccurate to suggest that the "majority" of wealth and upside is accrued to the middle class, at least in the US.

It'd be interesting to do this analysis with other type of vehicles, like scooters or bikes. The mileage/depreciation is substantially lower, to the point where it might not be that bad of a pay (and if you're biking, you can get some exercise too).
It's simpler than this. A post that begins "I have a really hard time empathizing here" and ends with a snarky punchline is playing the flamewar game. The comment is obviously denunciatory rhetoric. There are lots of other places for that on the internet; on this site we're trying to avoid it.

We can't have both the flamewar game and the curious conversation game. That's not a moral observation, it's an empirical one: those roads lead to very different places. Since HN exists for one and not the other, it's a moderation issue.

I've had a similar experience although I've never been diagnosed with anything. When I went to a back specialist, he said he wasn't worried about my localized back pain because I had no sciatica. But, he did say to not "squat or deadlift anymore".

I listened to him for 4 years and I had a constant, low grade ache.

At some point in my 30s I got tired of the ache and decided I would just try to do squats and deads and if I hurt myself, so be it.

Within a week of re-introducing them, my back pain faded away. Every now and then I get a painful tweak, but recovery is often on the order of a week.

If I ever get Sciatica symptoms I will re-evaluate, but so far so good.

I sincerely hope it happens. I'm tired of seeing privacy eroded in the name of safety and I hope nobody falls for the "we need to keep up with the US and China" argument that is inevitably going to be brought forward.

We don't need to compete with others on technologies whose primary purpose is diminishing the rights of our own citizens, that's not an arms race we need to be part of and it seems to be increasingly the rhetoric tech companies adopt as well.

I am honestly still missing why you are so offended by somebody not wanting people to smoke at a lung cancer charity event, that you would call them names like "triggered"? You're not being honest when you claim you can't figure out what the poster finds offensive. They find the lung cancer caused by second hand cigarette smoke upsetting, not the irony of the situation. And you "honestly" couldn't figure that out?

None of your straw men make any sense. Nobody is asking for smokers to be disqualified, just for them to control themselves for a few moments and not smoke at a lung cancer charity event.

You calling somebody else "triggered" is ironic too: Why are you feigning moral outrage about somebody else being "triggered", which in their case is totally justified and absolutely harmless, more than you're honestly outraged at somebody else not just ironically but hypocritically smoking a cigarette at a lung cancer charity event, which is physically dangerous to them and other people, reeks to high hell, and is totally ignorant, clueless, disrespectful, and rude, flaunting the whole point of the event? They're practically blowing smoke in other people's faces. Yet that doesn't offend you, while other people being offended by it does.

Get some perspective and stop pretending to be so triggered and outraged yourself. Being "triggered" at somebody smoking in a totally inappropriate situation like that is not worse or even close to a smoker making a mockery of a lung cancer charity event by flagrantly giving themselves and other people lung cancer at the event. And you getting so triggered yourself that you disparagingly call somebody else triggered isn't a very convincing argument. It's the textbook definition of projection.

And "honestly": pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity pretending to be concerned, is called "sealioning".

This is fun. Interesting analysis. A few quick thoughts:

Why the focus on Jerk/Volatility instead of Acceleration/Force? The energy imparted to the passengers is proportional to the forces. Is there any reason to suppose that Jerk is more important to the experience of discomfort (or mechanical wear for that matter)?

The analysis notes that the distribution is not normal, but it does not explore the what the underlying distribution might be instead. Given that the train's velocity is constantly accelerating/decelerating it seems unlikely that it would be a single distribution. However it may be the case that the observed variations are the result of a superposition of normal distributions. A Fourier transform could maybe helpful to explore these aspects.
