There are plenty of technologies that are working in a limited scope for driver assist, and functioning reliably if not perfectly. Tesla's death rate (measured in vehicle years) is three times that of their competition in the luxury segment.

Step 1 is to not sell something called Full Self-Driving/Autopilot when it can't do either of those things. Step 2 is to develop a reliable system (per NTSB advice) to make sure the driver is paying attention. Step 3 is to make sure it's only active in the domain where it can be trusted. Step 0 is to not do anything else until your collision avoidance works as well as your competitors.

Consider these differences:

"Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology" -- with disclaimer about not being optimal in all conditions

"GM SuperCruise hands-free driving-assistance" -- with a similar disclaimer

"Tesla Full Self-Driving" -- and their disclaimer is "Full Self-Driving is in early limited access Beta and must be used with additional caution. It may do the wrong thing at the worst time, so you must always keep your hands on the wheel and pay extra attention to the road. Do not become complacent."

The marketing bait and switch is pretty common, but this is "Thanks for the $10,000 USD for Full Self Driving. It doesn't work. Don't trust it. In fact, pay extra attention while it's on."

I have never seen the tech community so excited about paying to be alpha testers for technology that is literally killing its users.
"This page summarizes pretty good what web technology is capable of, when in the hands of a real professional."

I was looking at this when I went to bed, and though the subject matter isn't completely new to me I was enthralled by the execution and stayed up and read all of it...

Absolutely LOVE the way this has been put together, it really speaks to me of beauty in simplicity, at least from the visual perspective!
If you buy at Unicomp, I'd recommend the New models. There are two. A full size and a compact. They have better finish than all their other models. Check the review of the full size New Model M here:

I read an article about this, written by a doctor, about how doctors do it, he writes his colleagues mostly don't choose the longer but miserable life extension.

I tried to DDG the phrase "how doctors choose to die" to find the link, I didn't find it, but the search results tells me it's not a new topic.
> where the mere mention of something inocuious can get you fired so you end up never talking about anything.

That’s more true of a highly politicized workplace if you have the “wrong” opinions.
Ah yes. The liberty to die. The liberty to go with untreated chronic diseases. The liberty of not being able to change shitty jobs.
I’d encourage you to go ahead and not let your worries about command of Englsh hold you back. The best thing about the Internet is that it allows people to work together and improve each other’s work. E.g., I’m a better editor than I am a writer and I’ve had a few patches accepted for fixing the English in the README of useful projects.

So often one key point that is missed - use the right format for the right image type. In general, for photographs use JPEG, for illustrations use PNG or SVG.
As far as I can tell, the Storage Market basically ate the demand the miners made and has resettled on the old prices (atleast in my region, only a short price spike).

The entire Chia network as it stands only amounts to a few hours of storage sales compared to the volume put out over the year.
If anything else is going on behind the scenes that makes losing 1/3 of the company a better outcome, I would lay blame for that directly at the feet of leadership for letting it get that bad.
Neurons constantly oscillate - firing at least to us randomly. It makes sense that after a “reboot” of sorts, your neurons may fire in something resembling the “frequency” that triggers “bass string” experience. Like the “bong” when you boot an old Mac.
Obviously it does what it does well. It can edit audio quickly. I'll never use it for anything else aside from chopping up samples. If you want a full DAW use Logic.
In my case it didn't help me break into the software industry - somehow I already managed to do that despite some well-deserved imposter syndrome at the time, but it definitely leveled up the quality of my code
> this could imply a greater predisposition to label criticism as “haters”

Perhaps. Or the other way of looking at it is that as professional investors/mentors of early stage founders, or founders/execs themselves, these people have a greater incentive than just about anyone else to be highly attuned to the difference between valid criticism and "hate", and that their career success will, to at least some extent, be an indicator of how adept they are at this.

Anyway, it seems we agree more than we disagree overall. Thanks for your reply.
Patreon is also problematic due to centralization.
May be more common than you think (or perhaps you are a doctor with more recent info than I have, in which case I would love to read about it.)

> Psychiatric symptoms may also resemble epilepsy, and in that case they are sometimes called psychogenic seizures or nonepileptic seizures. Conversion disorder (formerly called hysterical conversion disorder) can produce symptoms that look uncannily like generalized seizures but actually occur in connection with a need for attention or relief from stress that the patient is not aware of.
> Rely on compilers to take advantage of explicit instruction-level parallelism, and keep the CPU dumb.

This very much is never going to be feasible for consumer and general purpose computing.
So ARM CPUs do have microcode after all?
He literally said none of that publicly.

His public response was to post a blog about forbidding politics from work.

Part of healthy dispute resolution is recognizing how to apologize correctly and to the right people. Token apologies do not work for complex situations.

Additionally: he apologized for the list but not for his appalling behavior against an employee who pointed out issues with the list and was childishly dressed down very publicly in the company’s chat.
I mean sure. If you have the power to fix the aftermath of centuries of discrimination, that would be amazing. However that is for sure easier said then done. In Cuba it took a civil war, a revolution and a total economic upheaval. I doubt there is popular support for anything like that in most countries.

If you are in favor of a revolution, all the power to you... But if not, then I’m sorry to say that our best option is the slow, painful and gradual correcting for our systemic biases for the next generations.

Does anyone remember that Reddit post where a guy thought his landlord was sneaking into his apartment and leaving him notes? He insisted the handwriting was completely different. Then a poster suggested he get tested for CO poisoning, which it was, and the “different handwriting” was actually a part of his delusion.

“Burning out all of the glucose and dopamine in your brain” isn’t a thing. “Functional Neurological Disorder” is another name for Conversion Disorder - a condition of apparently neurological symptoms inconsistent with neurological anatomy or mechanisms, triggered (most often) by significant stressors, often suffering a longer duration in patients who strongly believe “this is definitely a physical disease!”
Not an M1 user, but my journey was Windows only for a long time, then moved to a company that required me to work on Mac (and write software for Linux). I then left and started working for myself and bought an entry level 13 inch MBP (2017 version).

As a general non-development computer user (i.e. using standard office/productivity apps), I really enjoy working within the Apple ecosystem. As others have said, if you work within the ecosystem the way it was intended, it's a very positive experience. If you try and fight it, or treat it as Windows/Linux, your experience will be less positive (similar to if you try and treat Gmail as if it were Outlook). I'm a big user of multiple desktops and gestures.

For development, I actually use VSCode in remote SSH mode (which is absolutely incredible). I have a reserved t3a.xlarge Linux instance running in AWS which I basically do all my development on. It's backed up once a day using AWS Backup. Disclaimer is that I do this through my company so I enjoy a significant tax break on all of this (as a business expense). I can imagine that you might not want to spend your own money to do this.

For me, this means my development environment is hermetically sealed and I don't get any clashes between my user applications and development applications. I also write a lot of x86 specific software in CPP which runs on Linux. Moving between developing on MacOS with Clang (I always had problems with GCC on MacOS) to Linux with GCC was tricky. The eventual move to Arm by Apple would make this even harder.

As a general rule, I try and favour cloud services as much as possible and keep minimal data actually on my machine. I like the idea that I could throw my laptop under a bus and be up and running again very quickly (I basically need a browser, a terminal, and LastPass - any other apps are a bonus). Again, for me the driver is that if I don't have a functioning machine, I can't work and can't earn money. I don't particularly care who has my data (within limits).

Again, I have a specific set of circumstances and use cases but this is my experience.

That's a better argument than the humble beginnings stories
> This robs them of their ability to get a foothold in their economy from which they can stabilize and level up.

You're kidding, right? You're sayig that minimum wage robs people of ability to get a foothold in the economy?

Please enlighten me how "getting a foothold" works for people that have to work several jobs just to barely keep afloat?

> It's also rather intrusive and authoritarian, if two people want to get together and exchange one hour of X for $Y then I don't see that as any of your business

What about if a bunch of people come together and agree this is a good thing? Oh, wait, that's called a government, and laws, and common human decency.

> this is more a point of personal values and it's more productive to focus on the utilitarian part of the argument.

Indeed. Because your personal argument basically devolves into: if you want to keep slaves or indentured servants, who am I to keep you from doing that?
Aren't a majority of startups founded by immigrants?
I doubt it. Basecamp has extremely long average tenures. The people who are quitting are often 9-12 year veterans. If social ties were that weak there, they would’ve been pealed off by recruiters before.

> or even worth talking about every time something like this happens

I think it is, because the core problem is not the wrongful takedown of a single repository itself, it's the outlook that the only way to get these "mistakes" reversed is the hope that it will reach the news, Youtube/Google shows us what the latestage of this nightmare looks like. Github is obviously not nearly this bad (yet?). This case will obviously be restored, it's a popular author, but what about people that don't have this reach?

I don't see how talking about this situation can be a bad thing.
> T his reads out exactly how a manic or hypomanic person would experience things and rationalize past events and feelings. The idea that it has to be something complex and in a sense grandiose compared to "just being burned out" is often a very telling sign.

Bingo. FND is another name for “conversion disorder.”
The trick is that your burn rate of glucose might exceed supply rate. Especially if stress conditions or dietary situation results in misbehaving supply, too.

Not to mention getting warning signs and pushing through, which I'll be honest I'm guilty of doing as well (though I never got that far, and mostly it was sleep deprivation)
> That isn’t planned obsolescence, because the people who upgrade for status reasons don’t destroy their phones

This has nothing to do with the definition of planned obsolescence. It does not matter what people do with the old phones.
Wallmart and Appstore are not equivalents:

I don't need to accept a huge licence agreement before I enter a supermarket

If I were to piss off their staff and get banned from Wallmart, they don't get to take away everything I bought from Wallmart in the past 10 years.

If I buy a game from Walmart, and the game sell in game items, I don't need to call wallamrt employee to come to my house to collect the money for that - that's effectively the epic lawsuit.
> I consider people angrily wishing for your company to go bust, which can often lead to personal impoverishment and career/reputational damage to the founder to be equivalent to a wish for harm to them

I believe this view (maybe pithily summarized as "people are corporations") is also the root of Graham's dumb article. If someone expends a lot of effort towards a bad idea and suffers "reputational damage" that's called consequences, not personal harm.

Meanwhile, I will continue hoping ~all of Peter Thiel's company's fail, which is not even a very controversial opinion on HN.
Logistics is so often ignored or abstracted away to an after thought.

I'm enjoying Shadow Empire right now and logistics is so critical. It'd be an amazing game if the UI was improved, it's pretty terrible.
I don't think it takes a revolution to make a social safety net, ensure good education for every child, and institute free healthcare for everyone, but that probably sounds too close to "socialism" for some people's comfort.
That’s why the government has minimum wages, which help the market deal with that.

Fast service restaurants have already adapted. Five Guys or Chipotle cost more for a better product. McDonalds has to remind you on the wrapper that their burger contains beef.
That name is perfection. Kudos to whoever came up with it!
what's the likelihood that Chia, if taken up, will have a similar effect on storage (supply issues etc) as BTC has had on processing hardware? I don't have enough technical knowledge to know how credible the claims in their whitepaper are
Consider cases such as: Feedback, Suggestion, Customer Review, Stock Analysis, etc.
Cases where companies opens up a form for submissions.
No, just don’t engage in policies which have these biases. Pay people the fair wages they deserve, give equal vacation times, be accommodating to people with families and to people with disabilities. And arguably favor higher pay over bonuses and stock options.
Isn‘t it interesting how less one knows usually about exact specs of the Cloud?
> The biggest issue right now is COVID and when discussing it the topic can and will inevitable lead to something political.

Will it? I feel like I've had dozens of conversations about the coof (most recently, about getting the shots and related stuff - I had some bad side effects to mine that caused me to miss a half day of work) without politics being a part of it. Do people not even try anymore?
I think this is unrealistic. Very few consumers are going to have high utilization of their bandwidth. The connections are going to be mostly idle. It makes sense from an efficiency standpoint to then share that resource among more customers. That way you can bring down the price.

Look at the cost of business internet. It's guaranteed. If it says 100 Mbps then you're going to get it with effectively no interruptions. But you're also paying 5-10x more than a consumer connection, because the ISP can't resell some of that connection that you don't use.
Disagree. There’s a difference between being transparent, and publicly implying that your workforce is problematic. Especially when there’s some issue that you’ve failed to deal with. That’s both inappropriate and unwise. This should’ve been an internal announcement, not an external one.

Maybe in a year after things have calmed down they could do a “we banned politics at the office and it was great” post, but the timing was guaranteed to create a fiasco for them.

As a metaphor, what they did is closer to disparaging someone’s work performance in an all hands. It might be “transparent”, but it’s also unprofessional.
They can acquire the Audacity trademark and related assets (domain, etc.) besides the open source code.

60% of restaurants fail in the first year. The employees get unemployment (they aren’t gig workers) and find another job.
Define "robot". If it's a clear one-to-one of a human job lost and a robot being slotted in, fine. But modern factories are full of processes being monitored and executed automatically.

Is a conveyor belt a robot? What about a giant, complex machine that monitors itself to an extent and can execute a series of actions?
Multiple monitors is still a weakness so you’ll need to use a DisplayLink or other USB solution. They’re quite good as they’re supported natively by the OS.
Can someone explain Chia coin to me? I can wrap my head around BTC and ETH, but this is more esoteric ( and frankly reads even more like MLM thing than regular crypto ).
“Instigating employees” really?

People were hurt by a very obvious instance of the company failing to live up to its stated values, so they attempt to bring it up to its founder.

He’s painted the situation as “troublemakers out to get my skin” whereas from all the reporting it appears that he’s been the one to needlessly throw a childish and very public temper tantrum.
Hey, do you guys have a page anywhere, where you explain the currently running experiments?
I have replaced the thermal paste on a 2016 MBP before and that was far from trivial. It took close to 2 hours and everything felt very stuck. It was overall a bad experience.

Even though Thinkpads like the old xx20 and xx30 series require more parts to come off, they are easier and faster to replace the thermal paste on. Nothing feels as awfully stuck, overengineered and way too small as on the Macbook. Newer business Notebooks from Lelnovo and Dell are even better with that.
This video was published before he ever had his hands on the computer, and probably isn't the most useful resource for a prospective buyer. He speculates that it could go one of three ways, anywhere from a flop to a new paradigm for Mac.

Are you being facetiously reductive to make a point? Their livelihoods are based on the integrity of their reporting.
For starters, they should actually follow the DMCA. The DMCA gives affected people a defined way to counter-notice, and then the entity who filed the initial DMCA notice can either sue within 14 days or the content gets restored.

Instead Google chose to evaluate "disputes" themselves, with algorithms and "AI", and reject disputes. Rejecting counter-notices is absolutely NOT something the DMCA mandates or even suggests. Moreover Youtube essentially used to allow (probably still does) alleged rights owners to reject disputes in essentially one click, while the DMCA would require them to bring a law suit. Some copyright owners therefore created bots doing the clicking for them.

They could also be more lenient to "established" players as a first step, especially when it comes to counter-notices/disputes. Factor in previous history google has with an alleged infringer (alleged by their own algorithm by the way, not even by a third party) when considering a dispute, like account age, channel age, number of previous videos without problems, "we do know the customer" e.g. to pay out ad money, etc. And then maybe not outright reject it, but leave it to the alleged copyright owner to file a law suit (as the DMCA states) or at least refer it to actual human beings for further evaluation.

Of course, Google could hire people to check up on their own algorithms and decide on disputes instead of machines. Youtube had $6 BILLION in ad revenue in the last quarter (not year), so they could certainly afford to hire some people. In the end it might even be a profitable investment, as fewer good content is pruned from Youtube for wrong copyright issues, leading to more ad revenue.

Youtube right now seems pretty content with their quasi-monopoly, to their own detriment in my opinion. As unlikely as it may seem that people will create competitors, it can happen, ask mighty MySpace about it.
Yes, fully agree. Tape has evolved a great deal over the years, and it will further evolve.

Unfortunately it's just for the professional market. Looking over some local IT shops, the drives cost around 1500E with 15Tb tapes priced around 80E. I was hoping for a portable tape player able to hold together all the world's music at studio resolution, but that's not going to happen.

I feel like we should call it "manipulation capital" instead of surveillance capital. People are generally right when they say they're not super interesting, and so don't care that much about the surveillance if it means they get products for free.

Most people don't realize that they're also being manipulated by this data - there's a team of robot psychologists watching your every move and trying to change your behavior. Maybe to sell you products, maybe to change how you vote, maybe to change what drugs you take.
I don't think Beethoven is willing to sue her. His lawyers will probably remind him that he's been dead for a while.

I wonder how long it'll take for a plastic-eating microorganism to evolve.

Apparently trees evolved hundreds of millions of years before the bacteria that can make wood rot arrived, so you probably had piles of dead trees everywhere for such a long time.
