Many of the comments here seem a bit... unfair to me, considering that these clips were handpicked.

I watched (and fast-forwarded) through a few of the original, full-length videos from which these clips were taken. The full-length videos show long drives (in some cases, hours long) almost entirely without human intervention, under conditions explicitly meant to be difficult for self-driving vehicles.

One thing I really liked seeing in the full-length videos is that FSD 9 is much better than previous efforts at requesting human intervention in advance, with plenty of time to react, when the software is confused by upcoming road situations. The handpicked clips are exceptions.

For BETA software, FSD 9 is doing remarkably well, in my view. I mean, it's clearly NOT yet ready for wide release, but it's much closer than all previous versions of Tesla FSD I've seen before, and acceptable for a closed-to-the-public Beta program.
Are we seriously going to criticize a tab completion engine because it doesn't perfectly calculate what the phases of the moon are? Can you? I'm amazed it even knows what that means and has a vague idea of what such a calculation should look like, even if it fails.
Which is a 1:1 with the age demo of the site lowering precipitously. When I noticed the uptick of memes and posts about living with parents and going to HS I knew there was a big change on the site. There are still many good individual subreddits but the bigger they get the worse the contributors get. It says a lot that even in the small, dedicated subs meme posts are usually at the top of the 'all time' sort.
He’s stating the goal of the design, not an assertion that they got everything right. Obviously there are lots of places where the design fell short. But the philosophy behind the approach to future design is unchanged. Channels were an attempt to add something very new to the language and so it’s not a surprise that the design ended up being problematic. I’m sure Russ has thoughts on that, too.

But the vast majority of Go code doesn’t use channels. The fact that lots of people have trouble with them doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of Go code does follow this principle.
Lots of crypto companies have successfully raised money with ICOs.

Show HN: Alternative Front end Client for people addicted to YouTube
Hi I'm the author of this project.

I just wanted to use this comment section to talk about a clever thing I did to prevent rate limiting for people using the web app.

So the project uses the invidious API instead of the YouTube official API which is really limited. However, the usual problem with the invidious API is that it is often time rate limited if you use a specific instance too much.

What I did is that for each requests made through my client a random invidious instance is select with a health ratio of at least 80%. This way rate limiting is pretty much non-existent when using the app.
To be honest, after reading the privacy policy of the service (https://safeapps.io/content/privacy) I would not trust them with my financial data. No properly registered company is named and the policy says things like

The personal information we collect is stored and/or processed in United States, Netherlands, and Russian Federation, or where we or our partners, affiliates, and third-party providers maintain facilities.

How is that privacy-first or even legal? That clause alone is in direct violation of GDPR and CCPA. So I'm not surprised that this got banned.
It sucks how temporary software is, especially Web software. If you don’t pay the hosting bill it’s gone. If you don’t upgrade to 64 but it’s useless. Essentially it’s a plate spinning on a stick and it needs constant attention to survive.

Contrast that to a fine piece of furniture which barring fire or flood can just sit abandoned in a warehouse for 300 years and then be even more valuable than it was initially.
You're not wrong about the look and feel of that website - I would run far far away before I gave money to a website that looks that scammy.

Yes, and it's quite disturbing. I just went on a road trip with a friend, and despite passing a few bicyclists, the car (with radar sensors) did not detect any of them.
I don't understand how preventing this business from giving Google money is meant to enrich Google? It's fine to suggest a nefarious scheme here, but surely we need to choose one more complex than raw profit, since it seems like Google and MS are declining to profit from specifically this company, right?

Also, FWIW, I have found that it doesn't usually go over well to compare my non-civil rights struggle with civil rights struggles. It just . . . you know, it implies a level of injustice that simply isn't supportable and it doesn't come off right. Just my 2c.
> Training seems like some lost art as we collectively move toward a more disposable programming ethos.

I think you're right on that, and that is damaging for Lisp. These days most training seems to be done by external sources, for example Pluralsight, Udemy, medium articles about how to do a specific things, etc. Since those have commercial incentives, they target the biggest audiance, which is usually JavaScript, Java, Python, or something like that. On the other hand, the companies don't want to train people in a specific language, so they hire people that already know their language. That creates a positive feedback cycle that makes less used languages even less used. Same thing about open source contributions (tooling, libraries, etc). I think the insistance on Emacs may also be damaging because it's an even bigger barrier of entry.
> Cuba is not stopping anyone from leaving

That's a step in the right direction, if true. Do you have a source for it? This older article [0] says:

President Raul Castro said the regime will still decide who can renew or obtain passports. The government will protect "human capital" in its decision-making, and travel can be denied for "national security reasons."

Those deemed necessary to the Cuba socialist revolution — professionals such as doctors, scientists and engineers — can be prevented from departing. The "national security" clause worries some opposition figures.

The legal system was deployed to protect Apple, not the public. That the public benefited was just a coincidence.
It's probably modernizing now, but I talked with someone in Argentina many years ago about paying bills and doing banking. They said that the only way to do any of this stuff is to show up in person at the bank, at the utility company, etc. Showing up in person is a developing country's cheap authentication hack as criminal fraud very rarely gets punished and fraud over the telephone is just too easy.

How did you make it through high school while failing in chemistry and biology?

Organic is a scam for the natural is better crowd that occupies the human experience. A chemical is the same whether it is natural or synthetic. Plenty of natural substances are toxic. There is no difference in taste or nutrition between organic and non-organic, however GMO can be made more nutritious.

DVDs can use PCM, however every commercial release I've seen uses Dolby Digital/AC3/A52 or DTS. (Apparently PAL DVDs may also use MP2 but as an American I've never personally encountered that on a commercially-released disc.)
If you swallow 16oz of dried corn kernels whole or 16oz of cornflour, they have the same calories but you are going to metabolize them in a very different way. I don't understand the CIN/COUT argument when different calories are metabolized differently. Perhaps I am misunderstanding how calories are approximated for foods.

Cypress sells PSoC dev/proto boards for as little as 4.99 IIRC, for Cortex M0+ chips. Lots of periphs on-chip and I/Os but not a lot of hw adapters. I've used one of their $10 PSoC 5 boards before for test automation.

They do sell more expensive boards but those generally have detachable programmers, capacitive touch and lots of extra hardware.

Question: Would it be awesome if FDA allowed Pharma to conduct drug-tests like this? Put a "beta-2.9" on the vial and let people try it out...

Some may die, be disabled or may linger in vegetative state life-long, but it was their choice afterall and the it can argued that medicinal side-effects are very small cause of mortality and hence long-term the "public beta tests" will make drugs more effective and save more lives!

Seriously. The first couple times I read it, anything about "anonymous" "encrypted" "finance" sounds like this is either going to lead to paying for drugs or it's going to steal your money. And Google bans certain types of cryptocurrency ads.

After reading it a third time, I realize I guess it's just an open-source version of Mint?

But the author provides zero evidence that Google bans ads for "privacy-first services". It was probably classified as a crypto scam or similar.

Just write a better ad that's clearer about what it's actually advertising, for goodness' sake. And make the product's website a bit more professional looking too -- it looks like a scam. There's no way I'd trust my finance credentials to anybody who built a site that looks like... a weirdly updated version of a GeoCities page?
Restaurants are usually difficult, so I treated them as an "off day", and hence would not go to them too often. One might order a salad, but who knows how much sugar, oils and whatnot they put in there.

For home-cooked I would do rough estimation based on weight and some quick web searches for calorie content of the ingredients.

After a short while I got a pretty decent hang of where the calories were, so could focus more on those. I had a small kitchen weight for the "heavy hitters", for the rest I just estimated based on listed weight and how much I used (~1/3 of package fex).

In the beginning I did weigh slices of bread and so on, and quickly built up a good overview over how many calories there were in such recurring items. Except for oils, butter and similar I wouldn't be super-accurate.

But having a fairly good idea of how many calories was in my food really helped me plan portion sizes and compositions to roughly match the deficit I wanted, as determined by a web page estimating my calorie requirement[1].

Like I said, focusing purely on calories in, calories out, rather than say "yes foods" and "no foods", made it a lot easier for me as I could eat what I wanted, just perhaps not as much.

For example, I quickly found out that my weekend favorite of steak with french fries and bearnaise was way over target. However, I found that if I ensured my steak was no more than 250g, swapped french fries for quality green peas and reduced the butter in the sauce by half, the calories were around my target value. So I could still enjoy my weekend treat.

One potential issue was to feel full while reducing portion sizes. For that I leaned on some studies I read about which seemed to suggest high protein and high fiber. So I tried to have at least 20% of my calories in proteins, and also have as much fiber as possible. My breakfast bread is 90+% whole grain, my pasta is whole grain, I swapped out iceberg lettuce for romain lettuce (which has much more fiber) etc.

Based on this I had a almost entirely linear decrease in weight over a year, without feeling like I was on a diet. In the end I lost 30kg.

Is fructose considered easy to metabolize? It takes drastically longer to convert to glucose than other sugars, requires liver enzymes and can creates gastric upset in excess. It seems quite inefficient compared to carbohydrate sources like starch which are simply chains of glucose molecules that your body separates.
We recently did our product wiki page for other teams to integrate with us. Some tips from there:

1. Who is target audience for it. You mentioned detailing your service. So who is going to read it. Write accordingly. If it's for other teams who consume your service, they want to know what is this service, purpose and how to integrate.

2. Think like a startup. Add a one line overview of what it does.

3. Content must be engaging (animated a bit). Images, videos help.

4. Keep the link in your email signature (for promoting it)

5. Ask for feedback and keep updating it.

6. Make it one shop for all team stuff - team page, contact us, paging information of your team when issues

7. If there are other product's wiki, get some inspirations from there.

All the best!
That's sort of my point. Any change on the scale required to affect climate change would require a massive upheaval of the industry so it isn't going to happen anytime soon.
What Is Mpelembe Network?
The craziest thing is we keep seeing the phrase "the link between infections and deaths has been broken".

So far as I can tell, it has only been broken for the fully vaccinated, but for those not yet vaccinated, or not fully vaccinated, the delta variant is more dangerous than all the variants which came before and the link has not been broken for those people.

Even with the UK's good vaccination program, most people are not fully vaccinated yet, and won't be for months because of the time delays between vaccination for best effect, as well as the waiting time after the second one before it reaches maximal protection.

There are also people who would like to get their first vaccination, but are currently ill with something else and so rationally have to avoid the first vaccine for a while.

So although the overall statistics look better than previous waves, that should not be any comfort to those who are now going to be exposed to greater risk than in previous waves.

I would like to see more emphasis on statistics showing the risks to people who are still at risk, not the current presentations which imply a substantial minority of people's lives don't really matter because the overall numbers are down.

I worry mostly for the people who are still at risk (though hidden by the aggregate statistics), who will be forced to go back to work in unsafe environments, now that the law will no longer support them working from home, no longer requires others at work to wear masks or keep a distance, and no longer requires adequate ventilation.

As for public transport. Let me put it this way. 19th July is the day when I would recommend to stop using public transportation (tube, buses, taxis, trains), because it's the day the air will immediately become more dangerous in enclosed spaces.
Not sure if that strategy will work in the long-run but honestly I'll take whatever works.
The Sustainabilitist Framework: Principles and Applications of Sustainability
End the embargo on Cuba. Support the Cuban Revolution. If Cuba is missing material goods, it is because the US government has been strangling them for decades by shutting them out of the system of international trade.

During the early pandemic, Cuba has sent doctors to Italy when the US did nearly nothing. They have produced their own vaccine candidate on a tiny island nation. Imagine what they could do if we lifted the embargo and they could flourish.

Don't be too confident that the protests are not simply right-wing Cubans eager to take back their lands, casinos, and slaves. I'm sure the pandemic has put pressure on the people and government however.

The main thing Cuba has done to anger the US government is violate the Monroe Doctrine, which states that the US should control everything in its backyard. The Cuban people took matters into their own hand and charted a different course. We should not seek to interfere in their affairs.

Climate change will be also regressive and hit poor people the hardest. So, even though gas tax may be regressive, no gas tax is likely even more regressive. It's just postponed by a few years/decades.

And there are mitigations we can take to help the poor, as sibling comments say.
We’re largely talking about an update where the primary benefit is low-speed automation — driving in areas where the speed limits are low because the obstacles are many.
I take a medication for a rest-of-your-life condition I've had since childhood. The simple blood test used to calibrate dosing is about $10 in saner countries. In order to get the blood drawn and tested it costs me >$100 out of pocket and I also have to see a doctor for a half hour ($250) before they'll update my prescription, regardless of if there is any change. This is with insurance, and must happen every 2 years or so. Medication cost is $10/mo or so.

This is completely ridiculous, and yet my situation is downright reasonable compared to what a lot of people have to deal with.
Now that is a damn good idea!
Ashland and Medford were downright scary to drive through on the main drive north (not from there, don't remember the route number specifically). The only people out were crews and the occasional artist or photographer memorializing the human aspects of widespread fire wreckage. Just devastating.
The monorail video is jaw-dropping.

Nine versions in, I would expect ongoing challenges with things like you mention. But continued failure to even see large, flat obstacles is no longer something that needs to be fixed – that it has persisted this long (even after killing someone as in the case of T-boning a semi trailer at highway speeds) is an indictment of the entire approach Tesla has been taking to FSD.

I used to think FSD was just a matter of getting enough training for the models, but this has changed my mind. When you still require a disengagement not to negotiate some kind of nuanced edge case, but to avoid driving straight into a concrete pylon, it's time to throw it all out and start over.
American farms can be truely vast, so any statement on averages is swayed by this. The article says they are planting 4,500 acres this year.
When you look up average US farm sizes it is hard to know what to compare it to as monocropping or single breed farming seem to be the standard. However you do it, the farm planting is a lot smaller than 4500 acres.

They might not be farming at a scale big ag run at, but it’s no small operation.

The below link says “The midpoint acreage for U.S. cropland nearly doubled between 1982 and 2007, from 589 acres to 1,105.”

I think it is a transformer much like GPT-3. Having been trained on public GitHub repos, the bulk of READMEs, Q&As plus the textbooks and occasional novels might just be enough to teach it conversations and the definitions. The Python evaluation stuff might have been picked up from textbook interaction samples and (assuming it will figure out the correspondence) jupyter notebook files.
Google gets lots is shit for having opaque customer support, the problem is I have never seen any suggestions that wouldn't actually create worse problems.

No offense to the poster, but everything about this service, the ad, the copy, etc. make me think "major scam". If you are offering a legitimate service, it looks like you're trying as hard as possible to be confused as a scam.

So, from Google's perspective, when they see this, they respond with some generic "this looks like a scam" response, but obviously if they gave enough detail on every little thing to fix it would make scammers' lives much easier.

So while I've seen other cases where accounts have been frozen, etc. with little recourse, and I have a ton of sympathy, in this case I'm ok with Google making it hard to sign up if something looks this much like a scam.
