Yeah, it’s economics. Mercedes and McLaren have wads of cash to throw at finding the peak performance for their cars. Honda is interested but doesn’t have the investment capital these “premiere” brands do. It’s the equivalent of new money at the yacht club. To belong is going to cost you more than just a membership.
I have often thought about how driving for hours in a bucket seat, at least in the cars I've owned, has never been a struggle. The only thing that comes out wrong is I don't always hydrate, and that makes me a zombie (which is now a solved problem for me). So that leads to the thought that maybe, have the water supply for the hydroflask at a distance from the desk, so you have to get out of the chair to refill.
"No base load" is the last refuge of the anti-nuclear-as-a-transition-source anti-science scoundrels.
Well, that doesn’t sound like a well thought out software architecture does it. What did they do to get 2 completely separate applications mashed up together so badly that it “costs billions” to untangle?
Ferrari and Red Bull also spend half a billion euros a year. But neither has a shot at the championship because of their engine situation.
This is really the problem here, the government was more interested in hiring its friends than it was in ensuring a competent response to the pandemic.

If you don't know how to implement this system, then perhaps you're in the wrong job.
I think it's pretty healthy to get up and go walk to a window to stare out of it for a spell. I've been trying to take short walks around my block throughout the day to prevent any soreness or posture issues, as well. I didn't realize it, but back before the pandemic I was walking probably 5 miles a day at least commuting and walking around work, plus a dozen or so flights of stairs.
How we built a $1M ARR SaaS startup
F1 is just obsolete. The tech is just so mind-breaking and insanely fast that you can't actually get faster without killing people.

They've already had to modify tracks as it causes physical damage to spine cords and vertebrae.

What we need is something else which isn't tone death about economic inequality and climate change.

The thing is that it has to be a SPORT so people watch it and it gets as much funding as F1
"Narcissists infect the culture through the policies and practices that they directly influence, or—more often—that they fail to institute. They often choose not to put in place strong policies governing ethical behavior, conflicts of interest, and pay equity between men and women, as well as practices that promote teamwork and encourage people to treat others with civility and respect. On the flip side, they also frequently fail to sanction employees when they violate these shared norms. In effect, people get rewarded for less ethical, less collaborative behaviors, Chatman says."

That is true for some narcissists. Now there is a new breed of narcissists that use all of the above to strengthen their positions in companies without doing real work. And they are more ruthless than their predecessors, who often at least had a sense of humor.

Honestly, some of these, like the ATP synthase, spin/move slower than I expected. The ATP synthase spins at ~700 Hz. I'm not sure what I was expected, but it was in the tens of kilohertz.
You think it is phoning home with transcriptions 24/7? My understanding is that this is probably inaccurate, and it only phones home when the on-board electronics recognize the wake word.
Or worse, "can't use this feature without allowing data collection".
Like how they blamed the "gore" death on the driver for not having his hands on the wheel?

The data showed that the "hands on the wheel" alert preceded the crash by 8 minutes.

Tesla will absolutely use any data you send them to attack you, especially if you have the bad taste to die in their car with autopilot active.
They do in the mac mini.
Since it isn't an IR camera with illumination, it won't be useable at night, right?
Sure, but without the phone OS source code, you can't know whether "disabling the smart assistant" just displays "disabled" and then keeps recording. Without a hardware switch, it could just lie to you.
Germany’s Biggest Economic Problem: All of Its Neighbors
It really depends on the mountain, which you should always research beforehand.

For example, I climbed Mt. Massive in Colorado (second highest peak and >14k feet) without any special training or problems (I normally live near Washington DC). If you are in reasonably good shape (i.e. you run regularly) then you should be fine. Yeah, I stopped to catch my breath a little more frequently the higher I got, but it was a totally manageable 8 mile round trip.
The right tack to defending your position is not to double-down and say nihilism is impossible. How could a nihilistic take in any domain be impossible?

We aren't talking about whether agnosticism and/or nihilism are unreasonable. We're talking about whether they are impossible tout court.
https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToS...

Where are you getting 10% from???
Right. And the problem is, quite often those "data/values" turn out to be objects too, and for no good reason. Take the whole Active Records approach, for example, re-implemented in Java in the most straightforward way possible: you have a class with data fields (well, with getters/setters) but it also has "Save()/Load()" methods on it. Ugh.
This can depend widely on the altitude you are acclimated to (what altitude do you live at, how regularly do you hike/climb/run near the target altitude, etc.), as well as how quickly you go. For some, finishing the mountain without having to overnight on or near it is more convenient, but others might overnight so they can go faster on summit day without getting altitude sickness.

Side note (I'm not saying this applies to above comment): I'd caution anyone to take 12,000 feet seriously, it's a serious altitude and you want to think in terms of turnaround times and eventualities, not "I'm getting to the top no matter what".
Broadly speaking maybe, but situationally not really. The likelihood that the issue I'm experiencing is a service wide issue impacting many others is usually low probability.
I'm not worried about an over-the-air patch or hack[0], I'm worried about the existing problem Alexa has with false positive wakewords. Voice recognition isn't reliable enough yet to use as a security feature.

I knew greek before, which has substantial overlap.

Flashcards would probably be the fastest method, but I'm not cramming, so to pick up the rest of the characters, I:

- watched the relevant episodes of Спокойной ночи, малыши for letterforms and pronunciation. (phonic segment is about midway through, nearly always at the same time, IIRC)

- read plenty. VK memes at first, news headlines for the proper nouns later.

- watched lyric music videos to work on reading speed.

At least for Google/Nest devices, you can turn on notification sounds.
Very interesting as an introduction, I think this principles should be easy to follow using something like Rust
I like to use pyenv for this purpose, as it "virtualizes" Python versions by installing them locally as you mention. Then you just point each virtualenv at the Python binary for the version installed via pyenv. pyenv + virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper have greatly reduced Python dependency issues for me.
> You're paying that $200K because otherwise there is no way you're getting the business off the ground

This is a completely absurd comment and notion. There’s talented people all over the world who don’t need $200k salaries and also simply get things accomplished without whining about not being able
to use whatever tech is popular on HN at the moment.
I would guess because the NVIDIA driver/library support on 20.04 is still lacking.

I just set up a new 20.04 for ML and the official NVIDIA repos for this version were still missing a few cuXYZ libraries. I had to also add the 18.04 repos and symlink them together to get some Frankenstein library mess that works (as far as I can tell).
There are multiple definitions of god. The crude one that is commonly used doesn't have to be only one. Its within the realm of possibility that there are entities that exist in a completely different substrate of existence. For us, time is experienced in a particular way because we also exist inside the same space-time. Maybe the 13 billion years of the universe, is like 13 billion cycles of a CPU which are tiny in our time-scale.
> Finder is the worst navigation experience in the world.

Because you just can't abstract away the existence of a filesystem to create a "simpler" experience for some users. You just have to teach them how to use one and avoid letting them shoot themselves in the foot.
Show HN: Constant-Time Algorithm Implementations in TypeScript
Yeah - it clearly says they are open source but it's not obvious where the originals are hosted...
Apparently there are at least a few:

https://openassistant.org

And MyCroft, as another commenter has already mentioned:

https://au.pcmag.com/gallery/64879/how-to-make-your-own-open...

Haven't personally used any of them (this stuff isn't interesting to me).
Yes but that's not records that they actually have. The reason you need a wake word is because that processing is done locally on the device, it's not until you say the wake word that it starts streaming the audio data to the central server for processing.

Its certainly possible for Amazon/Google/Whoever to send your device a firmware update that turns it into an always-on microphone, but it doesn't do that by default

> Wouldn’t that be to detriment of signal integrity on receiving end of the serial line?

It was only 110 kbps.

Serial consists of binary pulses. A framing bit comes first which starts a clock. The signal after that just has to be in the right range for indicating a 0 or 1 at each subsequent clocking. This is probably self-correcting to some extent, if the threshold for a level change is the same as the threshold for starting the clock.

The inputs are likely Schmitt-triggered, which essentially recovers the square wave.
Knew a guy who had vending machines at my office.

He was a UPS driver and many of the vending machines were on his typical route.

Seemed like a good side gig.
I hope I didn’t do anything wrong by “vouching” to unflag this; it didn’t take any sides politically and seemed neutral and relevant.
It's pretty necessary to inform users when messages haven't sent though, especially when these little failure indicators are hidden in the channels themselves - i.e you need to be looking at the message to know it failed.

If I post a message in a channel and go back to work, I don't want to find out later when I check for replies that my message didn't actually send - I need a notification!
It's just an emitter and detector with a fan pushing air between them. It counts any particle large enough to block the light source. If you look up the sensor there is a datasheet which describes how they arrive at the counts.
What if instead there were honorees or something that still had some recognition?
Excel technical issue around 'case uploads' impacts Britain
Most people live in cities, which makes them think of wolves as a cute, awesome, protect-at-all-cost animal with no downsides. The farmers are in the minority, which means the problem has to become pretty bad to get the majority of the public on their side.
It appears that this webpage hasn't been updated for over a year. Hoping this project hasn't been put in mothballs.
"The emissions from travel it took to report this story were 18kg CO2, travelling by train and car. The digital emissions from this story are an estimated 1.2g to 3.6g CO2 per page view."

Kinda nice they include that, makes you think.
I was pleased to find dairy vending machines in Greece, for when you can't wait for that yoghurt:

https://popupcity.net/observations/cooperative-milk-vending-...

Apparently they are farm-to-machine, which is also nice. Seemed to get plenty of use at least where I was in Thessaloniki.
I did a very non-scientific and possibly irrelevant test. Together with a few other people we decided to "test" some smart assistants and phones+app combinations to see if any of the data they might collect leaks. We came up with some random but easily identifiable keywords that we'd normally never use in day to day conversation and consistently dropped them in fake conversations. I tested an Echo Dot with "Whirlpool washing machine". Others tested Google home, or the Android Facebook app.

Bottom line is that Amazon and Facebook somehow decided to show exactly the random stuff we fed them. None of the stuff fed to Google, Microsoft, or Apple ever made it out in an obvious enough way for us to notice it.

It's not something to draw a solid conclusion on, I'm sure the experiment had plenty of flaws but the degree of suspicion it raised was way above the noise floor and it was enough for me personally.
This is actually a really neat technique. I've done full-bleed layouts before grid was around, but it required messing around with negative margins, which is fragile and hard to get right.

Studying this stuff puts me in a spiritual mood though for a different reason. At the sub-cellular level it’s just a bunch of chemistry. Molecules randomly bump into each other and stuff happens. It’s all “push”, not “pull”. Yet we talk of the whole cell as if it has agency (e.g. an amoeba is “attacking” other organisms; a bacterium is “moving” and “eating”); we definitely think that about still larger animals. The more time I spend thinking about this duality the weirder it gets.
> Bringing these additional scripting capabilities to GraphQL, wouldn't it be more valuable than not?

I feel that these kinds of proposals will lead to business logic starting to get implemented in GQL queries. And that sounds like a bad idea™.
Unrelated to the content itself, but it takes 5-10 seconds for the text to be displayed on the homepage if 3rd party JS is blocked. 10s+ to finish loading when using the "Slow 3G" speed profile on Chrome.

I'm not sure if AMP is a good choice for a simple site like this. It's slower than regular HTML/CSS.
10 seconds... heh.

We have build times in the dozens of minutes thanks to a decision in the past to use Dart.

I use SBCs extensively, bought Jetson Nano as soon as it was available, I'm convinced that none of the SBCs in the 4GB Memory space are fit to run in the desktop mode and removing desktop packages to make more space for headless mode is the first thing I do after installing the OS.

I doubt that it largely has to do with the lack of optimisations of the graphical packages in the Linux for ARM architecture, as a x86 Chromebook with 4GB memory and slightly better CPU clock boost rate can offer far superior desktop experience.
Maybe but ECS does in some sense circumvent types.
It was clearly a natural stopping point in that you stopped working on the code for the amount of time it took to switch. There's nothing wrong with encoding natural stopping points in your commit history, even when those natural stopping points don't always align with semantic stopping points (features/fixes/completed tasks). Sometimes those natural stopping points even encode data you might miss later: sometimes in making that switch you also mentally switch tracks and looking at where you stopped and where you restarted sometimes can remind you of things you forgot in between. I've found debugging cases where that helped me solve problems. (That said, in practice I rarely keep such "natural stop commits" myself, but I've also never been strict about it and sometimes keep them. There's nothing wrong with them and sometimes they are useful "waterline" markers in a larger effort.)
No no no, you ID'd a very important issue but dont go far enough.

You are not only right (as a CEO who def has some narcissism), but charisma \ narcissism is like crazy \ eccentric. The term changes historically post success. It becomes revisionism.

Going from 0 to 1 requires a ton of luck, but really the it's the belief that outsiders are wrong about the statistical odds from going from 0 to 1 and sticking with it till it works or you break. It takes an unreasonable personality to get there and then that unreasonable personality has to adapt to a more measured one to protect the turf. Its ironic but the sword that gets most startups early success kills it eventually.

Innovation in general is hard to do without outlier personalties in this realm.

I dont have a great solution, but I can confidently say that unreasonable people both change the world and torture loved ones.

Apart from targeted spying being a thing, the keyword recording trigger is not so reliable that it acts as a good filter.

The risk of my phone OS being theoretically compromised to spy on me is different than the risk posed by a device that I know is listening to me, and that I know regularly misinterprets wakewords.

It's fatalistic to say, "I can't see the source code, so I might as well install another microphone in my bedroom."
Now that the new VR Star Wars game is out......

The Super Duper NLP Repo (262 notebooks)

As soon as you start needing C libraries, you start getting minor issues here and there. Numpy modules in particular seem prone to issues -- even on a bog-standard x86 desktop. It's got to be much worse on the very niche Nvidia SoC.
In my opinion, I would really prefer that GraphQL stay as simple as it is. It's already very easy to cause performance issues on servers and be forced to work around said performance issues.

In your translate example, why not just apply @translate to every field? It's simpler than having to modify the spec to enable it to do something truly magical when the current ability to just fetch data and maybe tag it with some operation or annotation is enough most of the time. Or perhaps it could be contextual, where the user settings / context set the language.

Sometimes I wish Facebook hadn't called it GraphQL. Because the "QL" reminds people of SQL, which this very much isn't and shouldn't be.

EDIT: I've gone and clicked your link for your proposal for embeddable fields, and found this snippet.

This is a situation wherein I would really, really, prefer that the client not be doing this work. The server should be doing as much work as possible, so the clients can avoid duplicating logic and requiring workarounds when clients get stuck on old versions that can't be upgraded.

Afaik there is no way of tracking the data if one just does cut and paste from one Excel spreadsheet to another.
Even staying with csv files and probably <100 lines of python just to verify that each of the rows in csv confirms to some standard and that it was successfully loaded in a SQL database would be way better.
Not to mention logging of all actions with md5sums/timestamps of all data files.
Parent says "the free market should have squeezed profits to zero."
Theory says that the free market should squeeze economic profits (not accounting profits) to zero. That has already happened:
$500,000 (annual revenue for 2 people)
- $250,000 (COGS: 50% of revenue)
- $50,000 (commissions: 10% of revenue)
= $200,000 (gross profit)
- $62,500 (cost of capital: 5% of 250 * $5,000)
- $50,000 (economic depreciation: 250 x $5,000/25)
- $100,000 (cost of labor: 2 x $50,000, including benefits)
= - $12,500 (economic profit)
