Thankfully, the interface designers for cars and planes don't break into your garage/hangar in the middle of the night and move the controls around, change their colour and shape, or rearrange the entire control panel without giving you any warning or choice. App and web designers are quite keen on doing this. Imagine if a Boeing pilot stepped into the cockpit one day and found it had suddenly been reconfigured to look like an Airbus. Apps like MS Office have orders-of-magnitude more users than airliners, and yet they don't bat an eyelid when suddenly moving everyday functions to different parts of the screen.
Both sides think they are arguing with the reasonable people on the other side of the debate,but in actuality the extremists are posting a lot more content than most users and they are get amplified as they get more "engagement". Engagement is a terrible measure for a single tweet in the nieve way because it amplifies really awful things that produce anger.

What reddit, twitter even youtube get wrong is that mixed up and down votes might mean very engaging but it does not mean good wholesome healthy content, infact it definitely means the opposite. If you just amplify engagement as they do today it might bring more clicks but it hurts society and builds extremists.

But Germany is indeed in Europe. So, if someone says that it cannot be viewed in Europe, as in the whole continent, than saying that you can view it in Germany invalidates the initial assumption.

The potential here is amazing. It's very early days, but this is the first Robot I've seen that makes me think home assistant robotics is technically and financially feasible. It does not need to be consumer priced from day one as there are many high value scenarios that could benefit from this robot. For example, home care in Europe costs governments millions every year. Even remotely controlled by a carer would be an application for today.
That's a pretty low price tag.

Universal Robots are popular for research, and from what I heard start at around $30k.

KUKA LBR iiwa is more like $100-200k.

If your client/libtorrent hates you enough, it won't work with local peers regardless of settings, and two instances of the same version number of the same software will fail to communicate with each other despite the embedded tracker being accessible from the browser.

I wanted to about 2tb of data, mostly torrents, over a wlan from my NAS, and kept getting dropped packets. Eventually I gave up on smb and ftp, and set up opentracker (a simple download and build, with iirc two config options) on my windows desktop under WSL, and swapped the tracker to a local address; after this, it worked perfectly.
> It is absurd to expect anything less than blacklisting such a CA immediately.

What's the use case besides novelty purposes? Who is supposed to buy this? Solely quadriplegic people come to mind but even that is a stretch and it's far too expensive. This is lightyears away from being a useful consumer object like a vacuum robot. If this is peak robotics, it is very disappointing.

The important part is that people know how to do the things - and that the things have to be done - without the equipment. I grew up with a dishwasher, but when I moved out I was without for five years. I didn't end up panicking and just did the manual washing up for five years.

I own a house now with a dishwasher; I don't NEED it, but it sure is convenient.

Anyway, when it comes to kids picking up their shit, the important part there is that they learn the importance of not living in a fucking tip. If they or a robot or the well-paid help does it, it doesn't really matter in the end as long as it gets done.
Looks amazing! Based on my experience, I have the feeling that we can judge how well Microsoft is doing as a company based on the quality of Microsoft flight simulator
There was old flang which was basically just the PGI compiler stripped of its backend and with a piece bolted on that converted the compiler's internal IR to LLVM by basically dumping out strings and then parsing them back in. Many people in the LLVM community thought that this was not a maintainable long term strategy for a Fortran frontend, and after much debate, the flang team decided to start over on Greenfield compiler called f18, which was to be architected more like clang. Then Chris released MLIR and said team decided to target that rather than LLVM directly. The only thing that was kept from old flang were some of the runtime libraries. f18 was recently merged into the llvm-project repository whereupon it was renamed flang. Old flang is dead, but the terminology is a bit confusing now. Additionally there are two external LLVM Fortran compiler efforts: lfortran out of the US national labs (which also paid PGI for flang) and fc, which I don't believe is currently open source, but is being developed by as compiler consulting shop on India called CompilerTree (not sure who's footing the bill for that one). Anyway, long story short, none of them seem to work. Old flang generates binaries, but is abandonware at this point, so not the correct foundation to build on. New flang doesn't even generate LLVM IR yet. FC doesn't seem public yet as I said. Lfortran may work, but the authors say it's very alpha and it certainly didn't work out of the box. I know some folks are looking into it to see what would be required.

Even nobodies on the internet have received death threats, haven’t we all had at least one at this point? I don't even remember how many I have had now. Given I have been using the internet since the late 1990s its got to average at least 1 a year but some years like the Usenet years I received a lot more than that average. Its probably less than 100 but I have no idea how many it actually is. I received many of these post about Java (the programming language) and not objectionable things, I received one for a post showing a no op stream!

Cmd+G - G for Go, and I agree that having to go to the menu bar item called "Go" is not super discoverable, but I found it once, and been using Cmd+G since then. I guess users that don't use shortcuts have more problems with these.

> Copy+Paste is not?

Cmd+C Cmd+V ? I am not sure this really needs an icon. I mean, if you go to the "Edit" menu, you see the shortcuts for Copy, Paste, and Cut, which are the same as on Windows or Linux, but using Cmd instead of Ctrl (which is consistent with the rest of the OS).

> tabs were finally added very recently

Tabs were added a long while ago, 5 years at least. But you don't even need tabs for this. I just do Cmd+Shift+Left to tile one finder window to the left of the screen, and Cmd+Shift+Right to tile another window to the right, and that's it: two windows, side by side.

I mean, it's not i3 or sway, but works fine.

"As of right now, Stretch is very much a research platform."

That was buried way too low in the article for most HN commenters to bother getting to. Maybe this fact will help refocus the conversation from what this thing can't do to what it might be able to with some more work. Personally, I think it looks innovative. Adding a relatively inexpensive telescoping arm and some LiDAR to a Roomba could be another evolutionary step forward in home robotics.

I can easily imagine wiring this thing up to Alexa and asking it to go get me a drink from the fridge. That alone would be worth a few hundred bucks when it becomes a commercial product.
Why the focus on low cost and immigrants? There's millions of people in your country (and I don't even know where you live) that live below the poverty line or are unemployed.

Open up jobs, pay a decent wage, and stop this line of thought about exploiting people as much as possible for as little money as possible.

Laziness is the avoidance of work, not necessarily the minimization of work. A truly lazy person may not look for effort-saving solutions, but rather avoid providing a solution altogether by compromising requirements, making excuses or having someone else do the work.

Impatience will make you avoid tasks that take "too long", like reading documentation and taking the time to understand how things work. It will make you approach problems by trial and error. By acting in this way, your solutions will likely be suboptimal and your understanding will be superficial and incomplete.

Hubris will make you avoid asking for help or code reviews from people that might have something legitimate to say about your code, eventually wasting everyone's time including your own.

So I disagree. I know the source of these is a rather popular book written by smart people, and that those paragraphs make sense. But there might be better words to represent those paragraphs.

If you have the money, why not just hire a help? Hire your neighbour, not some billionaire. There's social ways and means for a situation like that.

But oh no, having people around and paying them a decent wage smells like socialism! Anti-individualism! Better to pay 20K for a half-assed robot that can only do a fraction of what needs to be done than to pay someone's wage, right?
Ask HN: How will NLP models affect online discussion?
With the recent public advances in NLP[0], I can't help but wonder if/when it will become a common suspicion that people are arguing with advanced bots. It doesn't take an expert to see how these sophisticated language models could be used to broadly target narratives online with counter-narratives through sock puppet accounts.

Imagine being in control of a fleet of a million social media bots, all with distinct ways of writing and wording their arguments, all with the capacity to engage content that passes through a sentiment analysis and classification filter. A million social media bots, which could all push, say, pro-life, or anti-gun narratives, generating massive amounts of coherent text on the subject. They can engage with dissenters automatically, endlessly, with a demoralizing amount of content, using multiple accounts to reinforce eachother.

Do you foresee some form of this happening? What do you think will be the outcome? If it happens, will people be aware of it, or will it be labeled a conspiracy theory? Have state actors been doing this for awhile now? How will people regain trust in one another if there is a looming suspicion that you are not engaging with someone genuine? Are services where conversation can take place prepared to verify and ban non-humans users on a massive scale?

Two years ago I went from Macbooks to Win10 laptops with WSL for my professional needs - a setup that I now actually prefer, mainly thanks to having the same package manager as on the target server. Since a couple of weeks I’ve added an iPad Pro with pen and magic keyboard, for private use and note taking / concept drawing. I gotta say, I think Jobs’ vision has finally come true with this iteration, and more so with the next version of iOS. For private use for someone without time and/or motivation to tinker, an iPad is today all you need for 98% of use cases, and in fact it’s an improvement over PCs and Macs for those.

What did you do to get it to work?
I always wonder with "gates" like this: how many people (what percentage) are affected?

For example, I never had an issue ever with my AirPods Pro since I bought them six months ago. Does that make me the outlier? Or is it just that 1% have issues, but they are very vocal about it (for understanable reasons)?
There is a middle option? I've only been able to find out about the 'NC' mode or transparency, switching between them is holding the 'stick' of the Airpod for a few seconds.

Every time the subject of homeschooling or unschooling comes up in HN the same tired arguments get trotted out: Kids will suffer socially, most parents aren't qualified to teach. There's some irony in the usually libertarian-learning HN audience defending schools, which are a system designed to deprive individuals (children) of their freedom and to limit their opportunities.

These arguments are not supported by evidence or history. They are based on misconceptions about homeschooling/unschooling, and a limited frame of reference because most of us went to school and have no experience with alternatives. Unschooling does not mean locking kids up at home, depriving them of friends or opportunities to learn. It means letting children follow their own interests, at their own pace, and allowing them to participate in the larger world rather than getting locked up for 7 or 8 hours a day in a rigid and coercive environment where critical thinking and discovery are actively discouraged. It means supporting and encouraging education tailored for the child rather than forcing them into 12 years of government-mandated curriculum, standardized tests, strict regimentation, surveillance, and an often toxic environment that resembles jail more than living in the real world as productive adults.

These worries strike me as similar to the argument that people can't live moral lives without religion. We know that simply isn't true. I suspect many more people on HN grew up morally without religion than grew up educated and socialized without school, so maybe some of the critics can step back a bit and examine their assumptions, and ignorance of unschooling, before posting the usual objections.
