Using cars at all isn’t the best we can possibly do.

> Very few people work at full productivity while driving their cars.

Very few people work at all while driving their cars; their commute is outside of their paid working hours. What is the economic cost of commuting time? This is a serious question. You’re not paid for non-work hours, so by choosing to live far away from your job, or work far away from where you live, you’re choosing to trade away your own free time, and choosing to pay more in gas (often, but not always, in return for lower rent/mortgage). There is no loss to the economy in terms of the time spent.

So what — exactly — is optimized economically by having higher speed limits? Where — exactly — would more money come from if the speed limits were raised for some people? And are you proposing to have the speed classes only apply while commuting to work, or at all times? What would be the justification for doing it at all times?

It would help if you’d elaborate on your proposal with real numbers. Do you want to drive at a higher speed than you can right now, or do you want people you believe to be unskilled to have to slow down compared to today? How fast do you want to drive? How much faster will your commute be? 50mph roads probably aren’t as common as 65mph highways. What do you imagine the actual speeds to be on the highway in your system?

Your calculus, as presented so far, is completely ignoring:

1- the economic costs of safety, or lack of it. Every crash can cost those involved tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it goes up when there’s serious hospital time involved. See the term “expected value” in statistics. You have to account for the risks and probabilities of a negative outcome in order to even know if your proposal can pay off.

2- the fact that drivers in a lower speed class would need to be able to react to the faster drivers; in effect they would need to be as skilled in order to share the same roads safely.

3- traffic, not the speed limit, is the limiting speed factor almost everywhere that long commutes exist.

But hey, if you’re proposing that we make new, separate roads for the multi-speed-class system, maybe I’m for it. Everyone who thinks they’re better drivers and wants to ignore the risks can go drive together on their own road.

> So between 1994 and 1996 all roads and vehicles became substantially safe?

No, but both the US interstates and the cars have together become substantially safer over the last 50 years.

I’m curious why you’ve dismissed the Highway Patrol? You’re not objective either, why are you ignoring the people who actually have to respond every time some idiot in a fast car who thinks he has “skill” loses traction and hits someone else or wraps himself around a telephone pole?

We’re going in circles. The definition you quoted says hate speech is "...speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as...".

"Towards a person or group based on something such as" => people defined by whatever characteristic (can be anything since there's no correct list to judge by).

"encourages violence" => This is a crime, already covered in the First Amendment which I said is is a good enough policy.

"expresses hate" > WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Please explain how the primary statement of "hate speech is speech that expresses hate" is useful as a definition.
I think this is an indication that consumer expectations on the cost having an item delivered in less time than it takes for a hot meal to cool down are not realistic. We've been conditioned to believe that it costs a couple of bucks (or nothing at all!) to provide this service thanks to the vertical integration of pizza shops and more recently other players. If we paid the true cost of having an item picked up and delivered to us within minutes then frankly most of us wouldn't bother.
It may have done better if Nintendo didn't take so long to develop and release it.

I bought one on eBay, and it's a quirky device. It's essentially a glorified floppy drive with proprietary disks, and it makes loud, albeit amusing scanning noises.

Every Nintendo console prior to the Wii had some sort of "expansion" or upgrade capability for future peripherals to be added. Hardware revisions took the place of this model.

If you are trying to disrupt a market, a recession is exactly when your consumers are most willing to switch into a supplier with lower margins.

If you are going into a winner takes it all market, a recession will give you the lowest amount of competition. (But then, it's just because it's contrarian, if everybody invested in recessions, this wouldn't be true.)

1. Not an issue. If anything, the reality in the US is the opposite. Too much of the population believes the "solution" to every problem is to blame someone and seek retribution, preferably through the courts.

2. True, but depending on the law and the facts, sometimes the party with more resources still has a significant chance of losing, decides it is not a risk worth taking and their best option is to either avoid such litigation or settle before trial. Most cases that are filed in the US settle. For every case filed, there are problem many more that are deliberately avoided by coporations modifying their behaviour, i.e., being careful.

3. History has shown they have not been 100% successful. America has a history of legislation that was introduced on the initiative of some "ordinary citizen" who was able to draw attention to a societal problem, through a personal story where they were affected and/or through their tireless perseverence and dedication to the cause. Big Tech is in a unique position in the history of mega-corporations because the work they do is less likely to produce the types of harm that existing US laws were designed to address. Things like death, illness, physical injury, financial loss, and so on.
Laws addressing those harms did get passed. No one has ever really tried to get laws passed that address the Big Tech behaviours we learn about reading the stories and comments on HN.
> YouTube was much more profitable before the current era.

We don't know if it has ever been profitable at all.
I don't know if those companies could take on every engineer leaving a supposedly morally lesser company - which employs many more people.

My point is - not everyone has a choice. You might get the pick of the litter but there are many people who are lucky if they even get one offer from a company paying $400k+/yr. And - for reference - I am one of the people who has never received an offer from one. All my offers have been under $200k/yr (that doesn't include that I have to pay over $2,000/month to buy options that will "maybe one day if we're all lucky" pan out for something).

The world of living in silicon valley under $200k/yr vs $400k+/yr is wildly different. One feels like you're no better off than a retail worker and the other feels like you're a working class professional.

I prefer native apps ALWAYS when possible as a user. I get that it isn't the direction the world is moving, and that's unfortunate.

With all the computer resources in the world (tons of RAM, NVME drives, etc) it's still easy to tell the difference between native and anything else. It's amazing with these resources that apps can just be ridiculously slow-feeling. It's just painfully obvious.

Just another hell we have to accept living in. Overly dramatic? Sure, but I wanted to express how much disgust I feel for non-native apps.
> Quantum chance is better framed as quantum choice—choice, not chance, at every level of nature.

But why? All the choice we're familiar with relates to predator/prey interactions, sexual selection, finding food, avoiding danger, protecting the next generation, and so on. What possible reason could electrons have for preferring one outcome of an interaction to another?

They are misusing the term "Forensic" which is the application of a science for the purpose of law. Did they do this to further a criminal or civil action? It seems they just did some testing - maybe they have the "investigation" part correct.

The reason people are choosing for themselves to isolate is because there's nothing open that they can leave their apartment for.

If your thing is going to bars, and all the bars are closed, you're not 'choosing' to self-isolate[1]. I mean, yes, you are choosing to stay home instead of aimlessly wandering the streets, but most people don't care to do that. If the reason they want to leave their home is not there, they won't leave the home.

Re-open the bars, and suddenly all those people who 'chose' to self-isolate will start 'choosing' to go out to drink and mingle.

Also, you are vastly underestimating the number of people who, for good reasons, or bad, don't give a shit about their personal risk. They will be actively getting people who are actively trying to minimize personal risk sick, because the latter can't avoid essential social interactions.

When your personal risk includes liability for anyone else you get sick, I'll be more than happy to let you frame this entire conversation as personal risk. Until then, what people taking 'personal risk' are doing is shirking personal responsibility.

[1] The bar owner is 'choosing' to comply with the shutdown order, but that's because his personal risk[2] profile is completely different to that of his patron. His personal risk profile has to account for externalities caused by operating his business. He can be fined, lose his liquor license, etc. His patron's doesn't care about those externalities, because when the patron's irresponsible behaviour gets someone else sick, nobody goes after the patron.

[2] The fact that you're even talking about personal risk is why re-opening can't work in America. This is, and has never been about personal risk. Personal risk isn't something that legislature needs to control. The problem with epidemics is social risk, and patrons are in no position to accurately access it.
Interesting you mention this, because I noticed a surprising surge out of nowhere among my friends, who suddenly all decided to build a SFPC. Despite none of them ever being interested in SFPC and all of them running mid/full-towers prior.

None of them are first-time PC builders tho, so it might have something to do with lockdown-induced boredom, and my friends deciding to challenge themselves to build a SFPC. As it sounds like a major pain and challenge compared to even a mid-tower (according to those of them who have already finished).

If the burden of proof is impossible to fulfill then you have by definition made an unfalsifiable claim, so your claim can be discarded immediately. "I can just feel it" does not stand as evidence because it is subjective. The only justifiable position you can currently take is "I do not know."
I too was rocking the Skylake series (6600K for me though). However, I upgraded for two reasons - I went to the 3700X for twice as many cores, and the 6th gen Intel series can’t keep up with h265 like 7th gen plus.
I talk about deviations from previous approaches in the DESIGN doc (https://github.com/minimaxir/aitextgen/blob/master/DESIGN.md), but to answer the difference between aitextgen and Huggingface Transformers:

Model I/O: aitextgen abstracts some of the boilerplate and supports custom GPT-2 models and importing the old TensorFlow models better.

Training: Completely different from Transformers. Different file processing and encoding, training loop leverages pytorch-lightning.

Generation: Abstracts boilerplate, allowing addition of more utility functions (e.g bolding when printing to console, allow printing bulk text to file). Generation is admittingly not that much different than Transformers, but future iterations will increasingly diverge.

Hi Torkel,

First off, Grafana is amazing! So keep up the good work.

Question: Currently alerts are fairly limited both in applicable panels and how they export/share relevant data to the chosen notification channel, as well as more advanced conditions. Is there any work going on with improving alerts?
Well it is a bit of a grey zone but I have gotten Vulkan to work and I think at least NVENC works as well. The solution is rather hacky though. It extracts libraries from the Linux driver and loads them when you run programs. A look at the code make it seems like cuda is getting loaded as well so it may work.

> This is a crime, already covered in the First Amendment which I said is is a good enough policy already.

No, the first amendment doesn't protect speech that incites violence. Incitement and encouragement are different things. "Punch a Nazi" encourages, but doesn't incite violence, unless one is at a Nazi rally and there are nazis standing next to you.

Similarly, "we should kill the blacks" or "we should push the Jews into the sea" encourage, but don't incite violence against a group based on immutable characteristics.

To your response, "expressing hate" is pretty much self explanatory. A dictionary would define it as "profess a dislike of". I think that definition suffices, and I don't know why you need someone to explain this to you.

pretty annoying to read that issue thread ( https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1072 ) and read that instead of changing their app behavior, they just want to drop out of the play store :/

They had 2 years to react to this.
1. No one knows how long the pandemic will last. It could be 6 months, but it could be longer, after a 2nd and 3rd wave.

2. Even if the pandemic would end in exactly 6 months, no one knows whether consumers, after having lost their jobs, will have the money to spend on such a "luxury" like rides. It might take 2 years for consumers to fully recover from the money lost.

3. Everyone realized they actually don't need that commute, so chances are that car traffic, in general, will decrease, because people who realized the can work from home will do so more often.

4. Similarly, pop-up bike lanes are popping up everywhere, with people switching to bikes (at least here in Germany), so you could argue that permanent mobility shifts will happen.

5. Game theory: If a legislation allows for mass firing like those, you have to justify NOT firing during bad times like these, to the stakeholders whose VC money you're burning, especially since everyone else does it. You'd lose out by not using every one of the tools your legislation gives you.
In other legislations (most of Europe), such firings would simply not be possible and couldn't be considered as an option to extend runway.

You use the word "withstand", which carries a very positive meaning, and the idea that the company will "come out stronger" after that.

Sadly, this concept doesn't exist for a company, especially not VC funded ones. There is simple not enough incentive to keep burning VC money, especially when your margins are low, you're not profitable, and the whole game is to take over the market, or go home.

Other posters have rightfully pointed out that the internet is indeed open and free (for the most part), but good luck getting all of your friends to agree to use your new DIY whatsapp clone. Effectively, everyone who doesn't know how to standup their own website is completely at the mercy of these technology companies now.

Furthermore, the channels of communication most people use are now being forced through these tech companies because of recent events. The amount of control sitting under Google at this very moment is sickening.

Seriously think about it. If Google went completely AWOL, how much damage could they do to the world? How much control do they actually have over every Android handset and web user experience? I feel we need to start looking at Google in terms of the worst-case scenario, and then start planning policy around that. There is just too much at stake now.
So the FBI accuses Apple of offering no substantial help because they don't produce a backdoor in iPhones that can bypass on-device encryption.

Co-founder of Innolitics chiming in here

While this is undoubtedly one take on the subject, allow me to give you another perspective:

One of my friends had an MRI taken for suspected nasopharyngeal cancer. The physician that read the scan did not find cancer. Thankfully, his ENT physician did not believe the diagnosis and took another look at his MRI, which happened to be in DICOM format. He was able to load the images on a DICOM compliant image viewer and saw the tumor right away. My friend underwent surgery and was confirmed to have cancer by microscopy.

I think DICOM saved his life. It allowed his ENT physician to take another look, which would have probably been significantly harder with a proprietary file format.

>that only recently created a decent one, by lucky coincidence.

They have been repeating that "lucky coincidence" for the past 3 generations of Ryzen (ofc you can nitpick that one of them wasn't a true gen, but more of a gen 1.5, but whatever).

3 extremely successful generations in a row seems a bit more than just a "lucky coincidence" to me.
You made a claim here.[1] Then to virtually every response, you ask lots and lots of questions like "What does this mean?" "Why.." "What..."

While your questions are fair, it is noteworthy that you haven't clarified or backed up your original claim. As someone reading this thread, I'm a bit surprised people are engaging with you. Personally, I would not engage with someone who makes an unsubstantiated claim, and instead of backing it up keeps trying to poke holes in others' responses.

Ergonomics: an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact most efficiently and safely (Merriam Webster).

The most ergonomic setup would optimize efficiency and safety. Both of those depend on the kind of work and the person. So there’s no “most ergonomic setup,” just individual setups intended to optimize either efficiency or safety, or both. The question is analogous to asking “What is the best food?”

That is what root access is for. Non-root should never have "pretty much unlimited access" to a device.
Urgency is a matter of prioritisation.

Ideally in a company there would be one single order backlog, showing the relative value of each project to everyone. However getting such an ordering would involve huge co-ordination across vastly differing internal companies / cultures and would drag up every buried political hand grenade of the company's lifetime.
