Adjust within limits. And the limits are fairly narrow. It's also true that hard exercise will blow away those limits, and require more food. Every single time.

But hard exercise is hard! Folks don't want to do it. They want to stretch and walk around a track and pretend. But they don't want to do 20 miles on a bike. They convince themselves that they can't. Or they try and get aches and pains and decide that's bad. Pretty much throwing up roadblocks right and left, anything to avoid the work.

We all know this. It's why there are 1000 books about tricks and diets and how to fool yourself. Because we want to do that instead. But we can stop enabling that; stop making excuses for small issues about body adjustments and so on.
Back when Consumerist(.com) was a thing, this had a name: EECB, Executive E-mail Carpet Bomb. You'd find every e-mail you could get your hands on, stack them all on one big message, and let it fly.

These days you mention a company on social media and their bots usually are watching for their name even if you don't @ them.
Or, you know, they happen to have a pretty good
search solution and don't want to spend time
and risk building something else

You wrote "or" as if this was an alternative conclusion. However, this is essentially identical to the thesis of the linked article:

Google’s core business is still search. By
neglecting UI and design for these products,
Google corals user behavior into a “search-first”
mentality. The more disorganized you become, the
more reliant you become on search, and Google
benefits.

If it helps, I think you're both right. =)
Somehow I've never gotten a corrupted registry resulting in a broken account or system. Perhaps I'm lucky or too innocent in this regard. Though it does sound concerning if the Windows registry doesn't perform write-ahead logging like SQLite or a client-server database to enable crash recovery.

I should research what key-value database libraries I can use as a cross-platform registry-like storage format that's more resilient to app or system crashes.
Postel's Law, but for people.
It's not a big problem when you look at the problems that plague even the most popular programming languages. At this point I can only refer you to my previous posts because I'm repeating myself. :)
> If you have redundant AOA sensors on a plane and they disagree what do you do? Alert the pilot.

Right, which means it's not a solution for L4/L5 autonomy, only for L2. Tesla is trying to reach L4/L5, so just alerting the pilot is not satisfying the design goal.

> To be truly redundant you have to use different technologies, such as camera and lidar.

I think that is an opinion and not a fact. Watch a video such as

from someone working on this problem
By comparison, streets in South Korea were reported as being largely empty after around the time of their first COVID death, even though their authorities only suggested people stay home.

Sometimes, public health is in the hands of the public.

That's an understatement.

These restrictions are far from "the norm in the entire world".
Then why is it cheaper go get stuff from China than from the US? Proximity of manufactue is virtually irrelevant for most goods.
I’ve filed bug reports and the FSNotes developer fixed them within days. I’ll take a look at Obsidian too, thanks!
I wrote my own local .html file, in a local unpackaged extension for Chrome to accept it. It was just four columns of links with favicons and multiple headings per column, and inline inputs to quickly search different sites, and modifier-less keyboard shortcuts like “h” so that you could hit Ctrl-T H to go to HN. The trick, if you can call it that, was that the layout was clear enough that you could pick between 30-50 options in a second or two once you’re used to it.

I considered polishing it for publication, but I think that what made it so good for me is I made it specific to my needs. Besides, I’m off Chrome now, and they fixed the bug I was using to steal focus from the URL bar to make shortcuts work.
Nothing wrong with it; just pointing it out.

I have no idea where you come up with "debunked"; were you intending to reply to someone else?
I'm in the U.S. and I learned cursive about that age. I'm 30 now, and the only thing I write in cursive these days is my signature (which for the record looks awful). I'm fairly certain cursive is no longer taught in public schools in my area.
Author's here.

Yes, that is true and was the big red flag for me. I believe it would be in their best interest to exchange the data on potential fraudsters, because it would make their life simpler.
Right to repair and sandboxed/secured device operating system have very limited overlap. The intersection happens when the vendor uses a locked operating system to try to enforce parts-marriage or remotely bricks aftermarket-repaired devices. And, in the few places where this happens with Apple, I think HN are very much on the right-to-repair side.

I think you are conflating two separate conversations with only a small overlap.

> As I've been saying for years now, the first job is to determine that the road ahead is flat enough to drive on. Then decide where you want to drive. I did the DARPA Grand Challenge 16 years ago, which was off-road, so that was the first problem to solve. Tesla has lane-following and smart cruise control, like other automakers, to which they've added some hacks to create the illusion of self-driving. But they just don't have the "verify road ahead is flat" technology.

This matches my perception as well and it continues to blow my mind. Like it just seems like it would require full-on incompetence to use only specific pedestrian/car/sign/lane classifiers rather than splitting the world first into ground/obstacle by reconstructing geometry and then assigning relative velocity, acceleration, and curvature to coherent obstacle segments irrespective of their identification. But the videos always make it look like this is exactly what's happening. And worse it always appears to be happening on an instantaneous frame-by-frame basis with things flickering in and out of existence as if "thing there" and "nothing there" are somehow equally safe guesses.

Voters reject public transit taxes because they can’t imagine themselves riding. There is a huge blind spot on the cost of roads. Never raising gasoline tax and continuing to mandate minimum parking just shifts the cost of driving from motorists to general taxpayers.
Your comment is like the XKCD from a decade ago that says the same thing, except not funny or original

Here[1] is the customer explaining the insurance more thoroughly.

[1] https://youtu.be/vVSw3KSevEc?t=406
Yes, as you noted, you’re basically describing the general principle of insurance. :)

I don’t own a Tesla but insurance for their cars is already relatively more expensive in several states. This can be readily seen in annual or semi-annual policies. Monthly payment policies that cost more per annum are a concern to me, but don’t factor into underwriting analysis at the make/model level.
My Evernote usage is a lot like yours. Ever since the Windows client switched to being a web app I've been planning on moving to something else but it's hard to find something that ticks all the boxes from me.

I still use a web clipper because pages go away too often.

I want image OCR because it's nice to search for something and have a snapshot of a whiteboard come up.

I want a native client on iPad and Windows. I would prefer local storage if possible.

Basically, I want Evernote from about 7 years ago.
This is still an important consideration for any Right to Repair regulation because there needs to be some thought put in to what constitutes "a part".

It would obviously be absurd for Tesla to claim that the entire car is one part so when this coolant fitting breaks the vehicle is totaled.

It doesn't necessarily mean that Tesla must change their designs, recategorize products, or sell "parts for parts" as separate SKUs. But it is probably not unreasonable for Right to Repair regulations to require that Tesla document reports of damage like this and make those documents available to third parties.
Long time ago I made a proxy service that did that (2004 or so). The idea was that it logged everything you visited and then you could search your own logs. I used it for a few years but sadly nobody else really did. I think I actually wrote it in C of all things.

It optionally worked in combination with a browser plugin that did a tree view that showed a true navigation history (one site could have many children). So you could find the site and the context and the time you saw it and trace back the multi-path journey you took.

I have no idea where the code is. Probably some old cvs repo somewhere.

Wouldn't be of much use now since everything is https. Back then my inability to log https was the "method" to make sure that I didn't log anything sensitive such as banking details because only that stuff was in https at the time.
It’s like conflating palm reading with astrology.

Irrespective of whether you believe the methods have any value, we should at least make sure we’re talking about the same thing.
I don't know what is meant by "sloganeering" but if writing a full, nuanced article (e.g., TFA) fits the bill then I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion...

In other words, I agree that "sloganeering" attracts the nuts, but I'm not sure I agree that TFA is sloganeering.
>Boeing 737 Max had only one AOA sensor

Just a small nit-pick but it makes the case against Boeing worse. The airframe had multiple AOA sensors but the base software only used one sensor reading. Note the image in [1] shows readings from both a "left" and "right" AOA. From your link:

>software design for relying on data from a single AOA sensor

Boeing sold a software upgrade to read both AOA devices. (This still leaves the problem that if the two AOAs disagree there might be cases where you don't know which is bad). The fact that they listed MCAS as 'hazardous' rather than 'catastrophic' means it was allowed to have a single point of failure. It also means they may not have fully understood their own design.[1]

It takes 30 lines of code and it's very easy.
Why do you think so? My impression is that the majority of HN is super critical when you mention Apple and right to repair, and rightfully so. Thinking especially of the Macbook keyboard disaster, or discussions that involve Louis Rossmann.

Only for fat people. People like me find it fairly easy.

Over my adult life[currently 75yo], my weight has fluctuated modestly year to year (as measured by the tightness of my belt). When my abdominal circumference has grown by a couple belt notches, I tend to eat less for a while, until the belt is less tight. THIS REQUIRES ALMOST NO WILLPOWER OR CONSCIOUS ATTENTION ON MY PART. Why????
It might be noise, but you can't tell from N=42 alone.

It is possible to find "significant" results with small groups (my back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that the proportion of success between the groups must differ by more than 30 percentage points to be p<0.05). They might well have done the maths and might have highly significant p-values.

Note the supplementary materials [1]. I don't understand them without the paper, but they sure do have a lot of "*** p < 0.001" results.

If everyone goes with the cheap Chinese clone, you can't have either. Because those cheap clones are so cheap because there is little to no R&D required. No software stack to create, etc. Because all of that work is being done by the more expensive, original brands. Support is likely only a small part of the cost.
Any business that is sophisticated enough to build a genuine product is also usually sophisticated enough to realize that "the message is the medium", that a professional non-scammy appearance is required for most customers to even consider trusting it, and so invest in professional graphic design

This is so middle-age stereotypical that I’m not even sure if it’s worth opposing. The first thing you see in every financial app is how much unprofessional it really is with regards to UI, and it only gets worse with time. It doesn’t take a ph.d. to understand that this “trust theater” is just that, and it’s beyond me how people trust someone with their money based on some CSS (which is presumably fubar in the source view).
I wouldn't say 400 extra calories is modest, if you consider Calories in/Calories Out then even a modest increase in calories is leading to a continued accumulation.

By the authors examples eating 1.000 calories extra for 10 days gives you 1kg of weight gain. Assuming that the average diet went from 2.000 to 2.400 calories, it makes sense that people should gain 400*365/10.000 = 15kg per year until that extra body mass is increasing base level energy need or people are more physically active (but 1 hour of physical exercise is only 600 calories for many sports).
What good is a parts catalog if you can't buy the parts?
>Any critical repair, i.e anything close to the battery, often comes in the range of tens of thousands.

What you're really paying for is the irrational fear.

The shops have to charge sky high prices to a) cover their butts or b) because they know nobody else will do it at a lower price.

Electrical system repairs aren't particularly unknown or difficult. In a slightly more rational market someone would make a killing by specializing in those kinds of repairs. But because people are too scared to entertain the thought of driving these repaired cars some importer in Ukraine is making a killing on all these Norwegian EVs he fixes and you guys are paying for it. And Ukrainians (or whoever, that was just an example of a slightly less rich country) love the cheap EVs because they are not nearly rich enough to entertain irrational fears about repaired vehicles.

There are lots of example of other markets like this where people who can pay a lot of money do pay a lot of money to avoid some irrational fear.
> if I bookmark a site I probably know enough about it that I wouldn't benefit from a tag.

The gulf between this and my own use of bookmarks is so, so vast.

I bookmark because I want to have something as a reference, or come back to it later (especially "bookmark all tabs").

I often think "Maybe I bookmarked this thing that I remember a few details of... hope those details are in the title, or that I happen to recognize the title!"

I often find that I've bookmarked the same site or page multiple times, because when I ran across it, I couldn't easily notice that I already had it saved.
Why though? What if renting makes more sense for my use case? Why not leave the dealer/bank on the hook for the depreciation and maintenance?

If this happened all in one month of constant driving, I'd say it isn't fit even for limited closed testing in public traffic. It should be back at the closed circuit with inflatable cars. If it was cut down from just one or a few days of driving that's horrifying.
So people just write in block letters instead?
Thanks for the valuable input!
What do the people sign that share the roads with those people? Or are they just colateral?

A closed beta needs to happen on private roads. If it happens on public roads it is not a closed beta.
Google says a Model 3 takes about 5 gallons of G48 anti freeze. That's $100 in just fluids. High end mechanics can charge about $150/hr. Let's say:

1 hour to dismantle and diagnose

1 hour to cut/drill/tap

1 hour to fill and bleed the system

1 hour for whatever diagnostics are needed to verify that the ECU is happy and the car drives well.

Sounds like $700 to me.
OP here. Thanks for taking the time to share the (scary) connection you made while reading. While this story has been picked up by security folks, I am definitely not a security researcher :) This project did help me to think more explicitly about security, founding a NYC-based group called "artsec" where security researchers and media artists worked together. One of the members was Samy Kamkar, who you may know for the infamous "Samy is my hero" MySpace worm. His case, also investigated by the USSS, actually went to court and ended with a 3-year ban from touching a computer. This is just to say that the relationship between "art" and "research" (and even "pranks") is not always clear. I understood (and still believe) what I did was legal. It is also undeniably art. I set out to make it as art, and it has been exhibited and written about as art. You can call it bad art, you can say it's similar to a prank, but unfortunately it's still art. Whether it was ethical or not is a much more complicated question, and something that we each have to decide for ourselves. I appreciate hearing your side. Thanks.
Thanks for the support. It's hard to defend against all the people that keep screaming to my face that I'm the scam here.

> Google's financial services advertising page

Can you give me the link?

> It's also worth noting that the service seems to be offered from Russia

That is true.
But Google is available in Russia and allows businesses to buy ads without any limits. I know a Russian service called raindrop.io (bookmark sync app) that buys ads in Google and runs a worldwide service, and they get no bans.
AWS Casio as a service.
GPT3 works in compressed representation with symbols that are (sometimes) smaller than complete words but larger than letters. It takes a set of symbols as a context and generates a probability distribution function for the next symbol. Then a random number generator is used to sample from that distribution, and the process is repeated with the selected output added to the context. So its output is random but not uniformly random.

Exclusively selecting the most likely symbol produces pathological behavior outside of extremely short output.

What caused GPT3 to output its comment rather than yours is a product of its random choices. There is a set of choices it could have made which would have caused it to output your comment. You can see this property employed by the GPT2 text compressor: https://bellard.org/libnc/gpt2tc.html to compress text it just writes down the choices, using an entropy coder to represent likely choices with fewer bits.

I assume copilot is the same general structure as GPT-- just trained on different data.

And yes, the comment you responded to was written entirely by GPT3 (with some number of retries and trims). As it said-- it's "easy to mistake it for a human's work". :) There is nothing illegal about it, but I suppose HN would prefer that there be enough human supervision of bot comments such that they're limited to contexts where they are funny/insightful. :P
That calculation ignores transaction costs. Selling every 10 years is cheaper 9 years. 9 years is cheaper than 8 years etc.

Eventually starting over is cheaper, but that’s usually at 15+ years when facing a major repair.
Thanks for posting this, I noticed slack notifications on CI jobs had stopped (though the jobs ran OK) and was wondering why ...
> When I rent a car I am not responsible for repairs.

You certainly are, in most places, if you crash it into something. This wasn't a failure of the manufacturer's materials or workmanship, it was a collision loss.
"R&D" ?? It's replacing a molded hose barb with a threaded fitting. Also FTA: "the shop had another significantly cheaper solution it had used once before".

What's pictured in the article looks like 2 hours of labor, which would be a few hundred dollars at the rate for generic labor. I'm specifically highlighting the additional premium that Tesla expertise is commanding right now.

> mystery fitting

You do realize that all the usual pipe fitting shapes come in materials besides brass, right?

> Lastly, road hazard insurance didn't cover any repair.

Yes, this is reflected in my comment.

> Tesla doesn't do this kind of repair as well, leaving the only recourse replacing the entire part.

I'm sure Tesla takes the "broken" core pack, disassembles it, replaces that one plastic molding, and ships it off to the next repair for another $16k. For Tesla to charge an insurance company $16k with the justification of replacing the whole pack (while not even mentioning core charges!) is essentially insurance fraud.

They're skating by because they're new, but I can imagine in a few years either insurance companies will only pay for repairs from third parties who charge reasonable prices, or they will raise premiums significantly if you want to be entitled to OEM service/parts. I'd bet this dynamic is one of the main reasons Tesla is fighting Right to Repair.
He's declined to comment.
Almost all diets succeed, if you actually follow them instead of just complaining. But it requires making a permanent lifestyle change. I know several people who have done that over the long run.

Several people as in how many out of those that failed. If the statistics tell us that 90% of people failed, then these diets or programs are still an utter failure. By saying it is some kind of moral failing or willpower means we decided to be lazy about investigating the cause of obesity.

Remember, the obesity epidemic is a modern phenomenon. There are countries around the world that are still relatively lean.
Fred Wilson: The Walkaway Move
My suspicion is that he did have collision and comprehensive, thought “obviously damage from road debris falls under my no-fault comprehensive,” then found out that it doesn’t unless it never actually touched the road.

And either no one told him that it has to be a collision claim, or he just decided not to bother with a $700 collision claim after he got an independent estimate (and complain to the author that debris ought to be covered by comprehensive instead of being treated the same as you hitting a wall.)
Wow I haven't seen this before, amazing. Thanks for sharing!!
Interesting. I definitely noticed the same issue with my English.

My mother tongue Croatian had a reconstruction of the alphabet in the 19th century and these kinds of issues never appear. The orthography is phonemic almost. So the word you think matches to each tap when thinking of how it sounds.
Yeah, most of Steam games require lots of buttons. And sadly the Raspberry Pi I have lacks 5.8Ghz WiFi so the stream is a bit laggy
