If the house was worth $2 million when the owner bought it then they are rich or they’d have never gotten a mortgage. If they are fully leveraged because they’ve already pulled all the equity out—-well where’s that money?

I’m sure you can find some obscure edge case somewhere but by and large people that own things that are worth a lot of money are rich and don’t especially need our sympathy. Let’s save that for all the actual poor people out there that don’t own houses, much less multi-million dollar houses.

Really love Tantacrul's video on this. I was actually about to look for it to reply to the grandparent post when I saw your post.

It is because they did not submit approval request.

The EU is really bureaucratic, more than any governing body, it is a huge flaw, but in reality it make it easy to dismiss claim that a decision is political. If it not a decision made by the council, it is not political.

I don't think so. I've watched a lot of Waymo videos and it's pretty clear when the car needs remote assistance help. Mostly parking lot situations.

It's still likely a bit too much, but I think they don't need much further progress.

The bigger problem is that they still have absolutely no confidence in any weather worse than when it's barely sprinkling... then the safety drivers come back out.
As an anecdote: if you take an ant population (or any controllable population), and put it into a confined space with constrained resources, the population eventually dies due to one of two things:

1. Elimination of resources

2. Excessive waste product (in this case, excrement and bodily wastes; pollution)
Playing Live: why I don't miss it
One potentially valuable analysis of this issue is Ralph Grabowski's Marketing to Engineering ratio. Engineering is required to make a product, but marketing is required to understand potential customers and how to express the benefits of the product. Marketing is like the tires on a vehicle. No matter how good the product it is still necessary to know who is going to buy the damned thing and how to reach them so they know about it. Early on in development successful projects spend put more money and focus on marketing than engineering because customers needs and vocabulary need to influence development as soon as possible.

The stuff that scares you may be the beginings of the technology thats actually needed to get to full L5. We just don’t know yet so anyone that is certain on the internet I would be skeptical of. The bet Elon is making is on pure vision which is a much different approach than Waymo and Cruise are taking.
That doesn't seem to be all of it.

I've never been an FB "person", but maybe 6-7 years ago the local running club moved to scheduling everything on FB. For a while, the page was "public", but then you had to have an account (which required a phone number) to see anything other than the club's "landing page". So I ended up making an FB account which I've only ever used to be able to see the club pages (I haven't ever posted anything!) -- dumb of me I know, but FB had almost become a requirement to participate in life.

However recently, I've noticed that I now get a couple of junk text every day or two whereas up until a few weeks ago, I don't think I'd ever had a single junk text.

I wonder if this is why.
I seen the benchmarks with it on and off.... and..

Artificial Sweeteners – A Review (2011)
Call me a cynic, but I don’t have a lot of optimism for brain-computer interfaces. I can barely control my own thoughts, let alone understand how they are made or where they originate. We would need to make an exponential leap in our understanding of the brain and our consciousness within it to make this in any way a viable input method.
Modern frontend development hasn’t failed, the industry has. Frontend development is looked down on as “not real programming” or “simplistic” but it takes years to master and requires skills of both an engineer and designer. Leetcode and bootcamps will not prepare you for architecting a high performance, scalable, accessible, SEO optimized, visually appealing, usable experience.
I look forward to your medium post about what it is like in prison.
The advancement of what is possible on the FE has not given ample time for FE developers to scale accordingly. That I believe is because of lack of standardization across the WWW and the reliance on existing libraries like Babel to accommodate this gap. The variation of how code behaves underneath now changes depending on what library you use and that tends to libraries or developers overcompensating for their code to run anywhere.
IMO, we need to stop inventing the new, ensure browsers behave the same across 90% of users and then start innovating again. Sure, we might have to do this every few years or so, but the gap would keep increasing and thus have longer periods of stability.
Tesla is L2 because it's 99.5% safe and requires supervision for the last 0.5%.

People are bad at that kind of supervisory task-- they see it work a couple of times and stop paying attention.

And it doesn't get to me taking a nap in the car and ending up at Disneyland-- at best it makes a long drive slightly less fatiguing.
Plenty of times designers and coders have worked around Steve’s warped ideas as well. I’m pretty sure this is still a systemic issue inside Apple with teams not knowing what they are working on.
I remember the articles from 2018, where “up to” was buried in the details if said at all. I work in automotive and am a perpetual autonomous vehicle skeptic. All the comments (HN) about how ”it’s happening” and all the downvotes I got saying ”it’s not”.

Here is how you can tell when it’s for real... when the focus is on long haul fixed A to B routes. Trucks becoming trains. When you can learn over and over on a fixed set for all the scenarios of road and weather and light and obstacle on one path you can then expand it.

All this focus on “everywhere” development is the exact opposite of minimum viable product and it’s only for headlines and grants imo. Obviously we’ll eventually get there, but, I’m personally betting that human occupant drones “take off” faster.
TL;DR: somebody learned how proxies work and is naively mad at Cloudflare because they offer a cloud worker product that lets you proxy requests and their “bug” report is actually a feature.
The writer being invisible is an academic perspective that never holds water in the real world. Every single reader and reviewer talks about how good or bad a writer's voice is. The concept of invisibility makes beginning writers go from one extreme to another. From too much poetic prose to being sterile and monotone. This also applies in nonfiction writing.

And no, adverbs do not make sentences passive. This idea popped up in amateur writing forums recently and its driving me nuts. Passive tense involves using is, has, was as verbs in a sentence. No where in any official definition of passive tense does anyone claim adverbs create passive tense.

And the joke is, writing is about life, minus the boring parts.
I started reading your list looking for something to argue with but I'm sadly agreeing with all your points which I encountered myself.

I didn't even realize they're reimplementing browser features and that's a really cool observation.

I think it's paramount to understand that this is not a list of bugs to fix, it's a list to convince us that we should consider Server Side Rendering more often and avoid client side navigation, history API with all its possible race conditions...
Ask HN: What are you building with TensorFlow.js?

It actually used to have -more- features. I use it on my phone exclusively; once upon a time I could use messenger from within it. They removed that feature and now try to foist the Messenger app on me. So I don't use FB Messenger from my phone.

Yes, but since you've been snarky now I won't tell you.
This does not read neurons "through the skull".

It wirelessly transmits the data from probes already in the brain. The innovation is that they do not have to be physically tethered to get the data.

> The unit sits on top of a user’s head and connects to an electrode array within the brain’s motor cortex using the same port used by wired systems.
Now that you put like that I think maybe it's just a "feeling" of not knowing enough. That, and probably the situation now where I there is the expectation of being manager in a large organization and I am just anxious about that.

Thank you - that perspective really helped.
My understanding is that marketplaces and review-type businesses are some of the hardest ones to crack. Good luck!
At some point, there is an irreducible amount of complexity. At that point, adding things like over-wrought frameworks to “make things easier” for the developer ends up pushing the complexity around, like an air bubble trapped under a screen protector.
What the fuk are you even talking about.
People trot this one out every now and again and what they mean is “front end used to be the easy part of the stack”. If you lived in the bad old days of jquery spaghetti and in-line php templates you’d realize what a bad take this is. Yes it used to be that anyone could jump into the front end. And the front end _sucked_ because _anyone could jump into the front end_ and so they did. There was no organization. No architecture. Nothing. Just a bunch of files that got harder and harder to maintain as the app increased in functionality and scope.

Modern FE is a discipline every bit as complex as anything that we face in the backend. It requires that we actually apply an architecture. Design our code so that we can respond to changes in our business requirements etc. Serious engineering rigor in other words. Hell I could make the argument that in some ways backend dev is much more straightforward.

I think it’s fair to say that we often put too much business logic into the front end. Fat clients are not something I agree with. But to say things used to be better is just flat out incorrect.
Longbets 20 years $5000 that we won't have driverless cars on real roads and infra carrying 30% or more of human rider miles.

This tech has to execute in the six nines or more safety margin, and it won't. You have to solve AGI first.

You can tell by the exits that this org isn't doing well.

Tesla won't solve this problem either, but they've got a product that sells.
#1 thank you for sharing, I was all prepared to come back here and say "20 cm-30 cm is a lot! that puts half of boston underwater!", but it doesn't, not even remotely, and thus is a useful reminder to me I can chill

#2 to be fair to OP, think they're referencing what would happen to humanity as a whole if we _didn't_ have carbon capture, not specifically "water world by 2100", and something I've picked up since moving to Boston from Buffalo is that storm surge has a _much_ more significant effect when you're around so much water. Even the 20-30 cm, once you add a foot or two of storm surge that we get a handful of times a year, floods most of Boston in 2050.
I doubt you'll find it anywhere else, it probably gets removed anywhere it gets posted due to violation of terms of service. I created a Telegram account and the Telegram link still works. I think that's your best bet.
Project Moonshot
Brain Gain
It's a new development.
It might be. But I find it difficult to believe that having fewer sensors makes things easier.

I also just don't think the Tesla cameras have enough angular resolution to perform a lot of scenarios safely, like detecting a much faster vehicle in a short merge.

(Note Tesla relies upon the front-facing radars quite a bit, too, so it's not really pure vision).
The reason I’m interested in Hotwire is because the Javascript frameworks are confusing. Every new Javascript framework I’ve looked into has been impossible to figure out. There are simply to many moving parts for me to be able to figure out where to start.

It may be a bad example, but it the latest I’ve attempted to use. It took me maybe an hour to get an Angular project started. It somehow managed to install 1000+ dependecies (a few of which seems deprecated) and I have no idea what I’m suppose to do next.

You get the feeling that frontend development is a stack of tools three levels deep and you’re not expected to understand how or why. It feels unstable. At this point I just avoid anything that requires npm.

That being said, I do see very nice project built using these tools.

Not saying I agree with it, but: A frequent answer to that from proponents of a strong unitary state (e.g. China, but also Russia and a few other countries) is that society there is too divided for the state to survive without a heavy hand. And then, once the state breaks down and the country splits into fiefdoms ruled by warlords, the collapse of infrastructure and violence means that the average person wouldn't be getting much benefit from modern technology. Just look at Somalia.
Exactly. When there's no better choice you take the hail mary shot. Even when the average outcome is "worse" it can make sense. Docs say you have 3 months left. There's an option that probably shortens your life to 2 months, but has a 1% chance of curing you. Average outcome-negative. Worth considering? Yes.
Thanks for responding.

What is custom NTP in browser?

All you internet trolls that have nothing to do to criticize this article need a wake up call. Did you not read anything about how Irvine Co seemed super sketch about the whole thing, refused to investigate, and made retaliatory threats?! Of course no one else would push this through! In my opinion, this girl is a complete badass fighting for answers and instead of criticizing her we ought to share this information so it can be properly investigated. For all of you writing these idiot comments, just think about if you were in her shoes. Instead of victim blaming, how about we get alongside her and try to find answers.

Also worth noting is that several large tech companies are on <100 feet away from her apartment, literally across the street.

AMD, Hitachi, Applied Materials

Again, not doubting her story. I very much think her problem needs to be addressed. But, it's not just an "evil rental company" problem, these huge tech companies directly across the street from this waste had to have known about this too.
I imagine that would be pretty popular as an Instagram filter. Where people could just say remove my zits, clean up my eyebrows, etc.

Maybe it's enough of a pet project of the senior leadership to get cut an extraordinary amount of slack. But even given continuing incremental advance it still seems a very long way from a viable product that they could sell.
It's possible they expected that the person who is not promoted will leave. Thus they promoted both to make sure this didn't happen.
You seem to be talking about the need of a species to rely on a greater ecosystem in order to survive. However, I'm not sure how that relates to demand elasticity and energy efficiency. Perhaps you could be a bit more explicit?
Depends on use case, but for general purpose apps MS XAML platforms are IMO better. They were designed for rich GUI from the start and it shows.

The main downside, they only work on Windows, MS once had Silverlight for Mac but it wasn't particularly good.
Yes. Freedom does not work if we are not also permitted to make irrational choices.

What if the state thinks it's stupid to not only serve white people? That was true in my home state within living memory.

What if the state thinks it's irrational to not be a Christian?

What if the state thinks horses are "good enough," and cars are too dangerous to be allowed? Today's America would never allow the automobile to be invented. And Big Candle would probably lobby against the creation of lightbulbs.

Places that practice the kind of racism you are talking about will be the subject of ridicule and will face economic stagnation. Whether on the level of a single establishment, or a country. Rightly so. The civilized world--if there is one--will move on, and will help the discriminated relocate to free societies. (It's a shame we are not doing this for the Uigyurs--we should.)
Basically every research paper is written and submitted this way
In 2015 I moved to a different country. I needed to arrange to pay my security deposit for my place before I had moved. Guess what? After talking about it for a bit, it turned out bitcoin was the easiest way to do it. There was nothing illegal about this, and it saved us a giant hassle.

Cryptocurrency users aren't any more complicit in others using it for illicit activities than people who use cash. And you seem to be equating cryptocurrency with proof of work and bitcoin, which, again, are ignoring the majority of the real-world use cases.
There's the old Indigenous American saying which seems apropos:

"When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money."
Or you could define most of the universe as a probability unless it’s being observed. You know...like quantum theory.
Label noise will almost always give you a weaker model, and sometimes it matters whether those are merely random or due to some general confusion (eg. people mistaking crabs for lobsters). But these datasets are best thought of as research tools, not generally directly useful for applied models.

Whereas there are major practical issues with even small or subtle errors in, eg., medical or legal datasets for real-world models, a pure research dataset is generally fine as long as a higher score correlates with a smarter model. If MNIST, a nowadays-trivial handwritten digit recognition dataset, had all its ‘1’s labels swapped with ‘3’s labels, it would pretty much fill its role just as well.
I guess I've been "obsessing" about code, programming and software for too long - I will try that break and let it be for a bit.

I actually read a fair bit around programming (maybe too much sometimes) - mostly triggered by something new I read on HN.

Thank you - it really helps to know I'm not alone in this.
Is this the kind of mines that produce phosphate for fertilizer?
> Is is good that fruit is classified this way?

So long as consumers prefer it, It’s unavoidable I think. It’s also hard to change.

But the thing is, lower grade isn’t wasted or much cheaper, it’s a bit cheaper but not enough so that consumers would choose it. So if a supermarket has 10 kind of apples, not one will be 2nd class. Why? Lots of reasons. Because people believe good looking fruit keeps better or tastes better perhaps. Because consumers buy fruit also as decoration, for example. But the same consumers also buy juice and ketchup and that’s where they buy the 2nd class fruit! We buy most our fruit and veg that way. I want my 1 orange I buy to use for my old fashioned cocktail to be without blemishes. The 10 oranges I buy as orange juice I don’t care how ugly they are.

> Isn't it a truism at this point that large, nice looking fruit tastes worse?

I think it’s pretty common at least that well tasting and slow varieties have more taste but have been displaced by beautiful fast growing varieties. It’s a shame but I’m not sure there is an easy solution to this problem. For cooking veg I’d love to buy ugly and better tasting.

> Even if classification is necessary (and pre-dates the EU), should every country use the same classification? Or should they each do their own? If France decides they're tired of using the EU classification system, are they allowed to?

Why then use the same classification in the whole country? Where there is one market there is one classification system.

This isn’t a classification invented for consumers, this is so someone ordering a ton of apples can compare the price they get from the Spanish grower with that of the Italian one. Without actually seeing the produce. In the consumer end, these classifications are mostly useless.
The question is then: could the EU market function and be fair without some of the regulations such as classifications? Perhaps. And these things come and go. For one country to get an exception is difficult. If France wishes to change the classification system they’d probably do better by trying to change it. Again - the classifications aren’t important for French supermarket shoppers, it’s about whether an importer can directly compare French and Spanish produce. If French exporters want to sell on the EU market they’ll probably need to follow those rules.

Could they drop some EU rule where supermarkets don’t need to display these classifications to consumers? That sounds much easier. I’m not sure that’s even a requirement and if it is it seems quite unnecessary.
While I support the principle, what actually happens is that the companies which make money use your work to generate that money for free. And your desire to build something useful 'for the love of creation' means people who could have got paid to support their families can't because you've undercut them in the market with your zero pricing, using the privilege which allowed you to spend significant time on building something valuable for the hell of it. Then when you try and charge for something this is viewed as somehow immoral, thus pressuring you to provide your work for free and making the multinationals even happier.
You’re taking all the evidence that she has gathered, saying it means nothing and are instead blaming the victim...my bad, last time I checked, that was gaslighting.
