It certainly looks deceptively simple. Once you factor in real-time updates with multi-device sync, things start to get challenging pretty fast. Also, that's 2,000 monthly active users. Happy to discuss on twitter @unamashana
Did you try to compare that to EC2 instances with ephemeral nvme drives? I'm seeing hdfs throughput of up to several GB/node using such instances.
Genuine question, how is 9 web servers vertical scaling? And also, peak CPU usage of 12% means this is about 10x oversized for what is needed. Isn't it much better to only scale up when actually needed, mostly in terms of cost?

Regardless of whether you think Timnit Gebru is a jerk or a very fine person, bias in real-world AI is a big problem.

To the extent algorithms are used to make significant, real-world decisions (whom to arrest, whom to extend credit, whom to grant parole, etc.) they had better be fair. And it seems that black-box algorithmic decisions are becoming more and more prevalent in the real world.

It's been clearly demonstrated that biased training sets give biased results. It's also hard to come up with un-biased training sets. This is a problem that's worth working on.

> The medications included prednisone, and methylprednisolone, plus albuterol, beclomethasone, dexamethasone, cromolyn, salmeterol and clarithromycin.

> The treatment with steroids was stopped and three years later (while still taking buspirone, albuterol, fluticasone and salmeterol inhalers, loratadine and theophylline)

Yeah, this was more than just one steroid doing something to him. When you have a situation where someone is on that many different medications, it's no longer a case where you can simply point to one thing and say "that caused it." There's no telling what other underlying conditions were exacerbated in the process and what side effects may be due to the drugs NOT discontinued.

Implanting things on body is a hassle. Body's immune system fights against it. After certain number of years we have to change its battery.

> There are simpler mechanisms

UBI is quite literally as simple as it gets:

revenue = collect_taxes() # LVT, other wealth taxes, etc.
ubi_pool = revenue - cover_expenses() # infrastructure, etc.
for c in citizens:
c.send_check(ubi_pool / citizens.count)

> that aren't a funding nightmare

No less a "funding nightmare" (because God forbid the ownership class pays its fair share) than artificially creating jobs for the sake of working. Would be a lot simpler to just... give citizens money. On that note...

> Government jobs and infrastructure investments are the tried and true method for times when economic activity is below the expected/desired levels.

Infrastructure improvements are necessary regardless of whether or not the economy is healthy; bridges and roads don't care about whether society is rich or poor when they decide to collapse. And government jobs beyond said improvements just shuffle around the symptoms of economic problems without actually fixing anything.

That is: these are "tried", sure, but they solve different problems than what UBI and other forms of welfare solve.

> A UBI that gets abolished as soon as the economy picks up again

Why in the heck would we want to do that? The whole point of UBI is to be a permanent safety net, not some stop-gap solution. And with that permanent solution, economic downturns and crises become significantly less harmful to the working class. UBI is a preventative measure, not a reactive one.
> What if you live in an apartment and only use your car for weekend activities?

Then you probably live in a city and would be better served by transport modes where you don't need a big upfront cost, and other expenses and hassle of owning your own vehicle. I mean bus, tram, metro rail, taxi, uber.

You can always qualify with further "what if you..." to find someone who matches this case. But by the time you're done it won't be a viable number of customers.

What I mean is, if your goal is to keep people out of a certain area, period, the drone will say "can do", and it will be able to do it with frightening precision and no doubts. Humans have natural stopping points.

One maybe stupid example is when there were lots of Syrian refugees on the way through Europe in 2015. We learned the hard way that, if people are pushing against your borders, the only way to keep them out is to eventually use force. We were not willing to do so, so we had to accept that and grant people asylum (which I think was the right decision).

Imagine (a bit scifi but for the sake of argument) "border patrol 2000", which will give a warning, then give a more stern warning, then raise a wall, then try rubber bullets, then try to keep you from climbing the wall with a grappling arm, and finally using live rounds. If you are really determined it will eventually have to shoot. Human solderies did shoot in the past but they did also sometimes not shoot, and it always had a political aftermath. But with automatic systems, it is too easy to psychologically detach, and to say it's e.g. the refugees own fault.
Well I'll see what happens. Right now it feels quite enjoyable and not frantic learning, and it doesn't feel like I'm leaving gaping holes in my knowledge I'll have to fill in later.

Sorry for sounding nit-picky, I didn't want to undermine your argument as I agree with you.

The only problem I find is that, even if 1) and 2) are true, and you are talking to someone in group 2), it doesn't entail that the person believes that "1) is true". They still may be perfectly self-consistent by rejecting 1).

Talking just from my experience (anecdotal evidence, I know) most people from the group 2) would reject 1). People don't know the scientific studies or do not trust them enough to be convinced.

> I don't understand why there is such a black and white reasoning around this.

There is black-and white reasoning about this because the maths around "what is the surface area of the car, how much charge can it generate and how far can it go on that charge" is also black-and white. And not favourable.

As the other reply says, this is not "the debate of electric cars"; this is the debate about this specific electric car design, with the solar panels on the car.
Like I already wrote in another comment, I think car sharing absolutely does not work at all, because everyone wants the cars at the same time. It's really difficult to find a car when you want it, for example on a sunday afternoon when the weather is nice. And it's totally unreliable, sorry bad luck no swimming for you today, a whole beautiful day wasted in your apartment. It's almost impossible hard to find a scooter share to go to work during commute times. It's only reliable on odd times where noone wants it.

Owning a car still gives you a lot of freedom and flexibility to do what you want, when you want it. Which is not covered by car sharing at all.

I would gladly own a cheaper car only to do a weekly shopping trip and a weekly nature trip, something like 25km per week. Seems ridiculous to own a car for that short distances, but it gives a LOT of quality of life and I would gladly pay for it instead of using car sharing.

The Prius had this as an option too. As did some premium level Audis back in the day.

Basically they were mostly used to run the internal fans if the inside temp was higher than outside. I think the PHEV Prius was able to charge a separate battery with solar if AC wasn't needed.

It was a handy option, not essential, but a slight comfort on hot days.

Wind turbines have a normal capacity and a maximum output. They weren't running at 50% of maximum output they were running at 50% of normal capacity.

When wind turbines run at maximum capacity prices often go negative or turbines get switched off.

Value is rather abstract, but economic value is arguably equivalent. As such the long term increase in global wealth suggests over a lifetime the average person must have a net positive output economically, though it may be quite small. Further, as infants are unproductive adults must on average produce significant excess value.

PS: Extracting wealth from other people is a meaningless transaction when summing the net impact of every person.

Ask HN: What is your ideal remote and on-site development setup?
As we move into a world where many of us developers will be splitting our time more frequently between working from home and working in the office, I'm wondering what other people would consider the ideal development setup. A good setup should allow you to be equally productive at home vs on-site (all else being equal). Here are some options we have considered:

* Laptop - easy to transport between home and work, but tend to be expensive and under-powered. Modern laptops make it easy to connect power, HDMI (to an external monitor) and ethernet through a single USB-C cable.

* Mini PC (e.g. [1]) - relatively easy to transport between home and work but has to be shutdown when transporting between work and home.

* Desktop at the office + remote access - as much power as you need from a desktop, but remote access can sometimes be less than ideal. Also depends on developers having their own hardware at home.

* Desktop at the office + local development environment at home - all the benefits of a local development setup but increases the risk of security breaches (i.e. a developer's home PC is more likely to be hit by viruses).

Are there any other setups that you would suggest? What are the various advantages and disadvantages that you can think of for each setup?

Man, I'm gonna give SQLAlchemy another try after this release i think.

I've not been able to shake the simplicity and intuitiveness of the Django ORM. The fact is in most apps you just need the basic stuff. But you do hit the limitations too quickly. SQLAlchemy always felt like too big/crufty a tool to use at the early stages.

OTOH when I've wanted to make serious sql-based tools it's been invaluable. I hope it'll lend itself better to the simpler use cases, I'd love to switch my default backend stack to FastAPI with SQLAlchemy.
"Turing completeness" is extremely orthogonal to complexity.

Being "Turing complete" only means that your thing supports unlimited recursion; or, in other words, that whatever objects it encodes can be arbitrarily large.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110

P.S. This also means that, technically speaking, the computers we use aren't Turing complete because they have RAM and storage limits.

This assumes that you
- own your house (30% rent in Europe [1])
- That you can charge at home (14% live in flats in UK for example [2]), many other properties don't have parking attached too and even for those with allocated parking, connecting a charger is prohibitively difficult (digging up roads / getting consent etc.)

Governments will likely be slow to implement on street charging. There is a market for something like this, if it works as well as they say - which I doubt.

So, I would be disgusted for sure, especially if it was not my toilet in my own home.

Hypothetically, I would use a dishwashing glove or simply wrap my hand around a clean garbage bag and use that to retrieve it.

Afterwords, not sure what I would do.

I would probably take it apart to clean, and either way, sell it as a functioning unit if it worked, or part it out and sell the parts or the unit as-is.

>The point being made is this: Photoshop does one job and has one focus should), yet it has gotten slower at doing that one job and not faster.

Has it though? Without measurements this is just idle talk.

And I've used Photoshop in the 90s and I use it today ocassionally. I remember having 90s sized web pictures (say, 1024x768) and waiting for a filter to be applied for tens of seconds - which I get instantly today with 24MP and more...

And if we're into idle talk I've always found Photoshop faster in large images and projects than competitors, including "lightweight" ones.

It's hella more optimized than them.

In any case, some e.g. image filter application (that takes, e.g. 20 seconds vs 1 minute with them) just calls some optimized C++ code (perhaps with some asm thrown in) that does just that.

The rest of the "bloat" (in the UI, feature count, etc) has absolutely no bearing as to whether a filter or an operation (like blend, crop, etc) runs fast or not. At worst, it makes going around in the UI to select the operations you want slower.

And in many cases the code implementing a basic operation, filter, etc, hasn't even been changed since 2000 or so (if anything, it was optimized further, taken to use the GPU, etc).
Is this the main thread for this article? I was expecting debates on this :)
