> he really makes me not want to buy anything from Tesla ever just because he's associated with it.

Maybe people like him because he knows how to overpromise (and lie) to his loyal Tesla fanbase and give them a product that doesn't function as advertised.

They knew FSD (Fools Self Driving) was never going to be Level 5 and still promised it and missed their own deadlines and was admittedly Level 2. Now they introduce a subscription package to a broken product feature even though his customers have already paid for it!

Perhaps Musk is clever at playing his Tesla customers or the fanatics just love getting scammed by him. Maybe both.
It was very public news. Even the controversy was widely reported. I’m surprised you don’t know about it. In any case it should be easy to Google.

The goal all along has been to design proteins with a specific structure.

This can be applied to just about any area of biology. You could design novel antigens to combat disease, and then easily mass-produce them. Or just inject the RNA to have the body produce them.

But the applications are boundless, from genetically modifying crops, to anti-aging, and more.

It is also one of the key pathways to molecular nanotechnology, where instead of building arbitrary structures out of amino acids, we increase the range of arbitrary molecules we can design, build, and produce in quantity.

Are planes really more noise pollution? I agree they create more concentrated noise, but they seem to be less noisy overall than trains since planes are quiet once in the air.
It always does.

Knowledge of the cycle doesn't stop the cycle, though. Semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure lead times are looong, so getting the system out of oscillation is more difficult than just dropping the gain. Do that and you're guaranteed to be left behind.
There's an airport close to my home. The airport management committee, assisted by the town's representative have evicted many homes. And yes, I live in a perfectly fine democracy...
I'd posit English doesn't have swear words anymore.

I'm a native English speaker and I've noticed that swearing no longer feels like a big deal. Our media and online discourse are saturated with the worst swears our language has to bear, to the point none of it hits with gravity.

I also think some of it has to do with changing generational attitudes. Millennials and Gen Z use swearing as friendly banter. You can call your casual friend a "fucking asshole", and as long as you're smiling and laughing, it's an endearing gesture. And if it were truly meant as a jab, it doesn't even sting.

The only words you can't (and shouldn't!) say are racial epithets. Those are untouchable. It's almost like what swear words themselves felt like when I was a child and knew I would be punished for saying "shit" or "damn".
This seems like a promising alternative to Simple, which shut down a few months ago
I use it off and on, hoping to move to a daily driver soon. The main reason I do not use it full time yet is because MMS support is not fully integrated yet.

(My experience is on Mobian/Phosh with a Pinephone, YMMV)

As a basic phone (Calls/SMS/etc), it works pretty well. Voicemail works, but depending on your carrier, you may not get a notification for it. There is a Visual Voicemail client in the works, but that still has a bit to go before it could be considered for daily usage.

The camera HW isn't very good, so if you want to take really nice pictures, you would need to have something else to take them. Email/Telegram works well. Signal requires a third party client (which I haven't really tried). There are a few games you can install, but most are basic (2048, Chess, etc.). Running Android specific apps is possible, but not very usable from my experience.

Web browsing can be slow (Firefox can take a while to load).

Convergence is really neat...but I don't really use it since I have a laptop. Mobian is nice in that any Debian package will happily install/run (but YMMV on how well it works on mobile).
> It really shouldn't count as space travel unless they go into orbit around Earth.

So, Alan Shepard would not be the first American in space? Gus Grissom's first flight wouldn't count, either? I'm all for making a distinction between space tourists and astronauts; but, I don't know if orbiting the Earth is the distinction. (Yes, I know Shepard and Grissom orbited the Earth on subsequent space flights; but,those first flights have to count for something.)
Ah ok sorry, because the previous maglev train in China is also a Transrapid :P
The midwest of the US has similar population density to France. The western half of the US with few people (not to mention Alaska) really skew the population density.
What I think it’s going to be more interesting is the personal responsibility aspect. In ten or fifteen years from now, when only fans content starts coming up as these folks are applying for regular jobs in the workforce, pursuing political office, etc. I expect many will claim that they were groomed and forced to do it. That is to say, I don’t think young people today really appreciate what they are doing and how having an OF is going to affect their life going forward.
I'm not interested in the semantics of outer space or the competition to see who can meet the terms of one of those arbitrary definitions first. More than one corporate/government entity making progress in rocketry and space-faring technology is a good thing for humanity.

I'm thinking that there should be plenty of incentive here for billionaires: it's conceivable that whoever gets there (where? I don't know) first will be running the show in 50 or 100 or 500 years. There are worse bets for establishing your legacy.
> They aren’t the same thing, though they are (contrart to racist models) very closely related

They’re often correlated, but one doesn’t arise out of the other. Us Bangladeshis have a strong tendency to blame our culture for what ails our country (our tendency to corruption, etc.) If an American said “I wouldn’t want mass immigration from Bangladesh to the US because of the prospect of cultural change” I’d probably be inclined to agree. My family left the country to get away from that culture. In Bangladesh it wouldn’t be a controversial statement to say that there are aspects of Chinese culture or whatever that we don’t like.

So when I see Trump attacked as “racist” I find it bizarre. His criticisms are plainly directed at culture, not race. For example his comment about “shit hole countries.” That’s a boorish phrasing of the situation, but it’s clearly an attack on culture, not race. If you asked a Bangladeshi on the street whether they’d rather have immigrants from they’d say something similar. The state of a country is a reflection of the culture of its people. It has nothing to do with race.
Sure. I myself am not entirely bought into this position, but it is in fact the position of "our society." Figure we have to start by not calling these people explorers before making our way to questioning whether such extreme accumulation of wealth is optimal in the first place.

"They should stop wasting money sending those ships around Africa"

The amount of energy is lower - the UK is producing much less, electricity use has declined and (although it isn't strictly certain) that is suggestive evidence that if you tallied up all the Joules consumed in the UK then there are less of them in 2016 than 2010.

If there are less Joules and more people, some people must - by mathematical necessity - be consuming less of them. If your family can still afford to consume the same amount then maybe someone else on the margins is really being pushed.

That is a pretty decent reason for why a large number of people might be getting desperate for political change. It is a stronger explanation than some variant of the more common "maybe they are just really confused and/or hateful and/or unexpectedly stupid". People don't read economic stats but they'll notice if 20% of their electricity goes away.
Yeah, another app-only bank. Or at least that what it seems. The desktop site in unreadable. Giant fonts.

So I'll assume they're like the rest - shitty / no customer support outsourced to god who knows, and they'll change "shifts" every 10 minutes.

No thank you, I'll stay with the good old, dinosaur banks.
Funny, I'm much more bothered by the buttons floating at the bottom, one or two pixels from the border but not touching. The sharp, rectangular design of KDE also doesn't speak to me, which is kind of strange because I do like it in the old win9x designs. I think maybe it's the combination of sharp edges and soft shadows that annoy me?

Most KDE design is actually pretty consistent, but the design language just doesn't sit well with me. I'll stick to Gnome/Phosh if Linux on phones ever becomes popular.
It could, but their investment in government of insiders is in my opinion more than enough to overcome their economic advantages. They could do well, but their government of the elites is more likely to crack down on development.
Hey HN! I am Aapo, founder of Lingoes.ai. Lingoes.ai is a no-code multilingual Natural Language Processing (NLP) service supporting 109 different languages. At first, you can train your own custom NLP models for text classification with a click of the button or straight away use the readily available model to classify text. In addition to text classification, more NLP solutions are coming soon on the roadmap.

Having worked as a Data Scientist and followed all the latest NLP advances during the last couple years, experimented with them and developed different NLP solutions, I decided to put all that know-how into a single NLP service available to all. The goal is to democratize NLP for non-technical people too. Also, what unites most of the available existing NLP services is that they only support a few common languages like English and German. That is why I built Lingoes.ai multilingual supporting 109 languages including Finnish which is my native language.

So far, I have bootstrapped the service and startup as a solo founder. It all started from personal development experiments and then I decided to see what it would take to create a productized NLP SaaS startup. It has already been a very interesting learning experience and I am excited to see where it leads.

Lingoes.ai is still new and I am looking for more early users to try it out. Feel free to check it out, try the free trial and let me know what you think! Thanks :)

We don't sell to filers. Ever. Got to protect against conflicts of interest. That's one of the reasons we don't have a true free version of the product.

That said, we're using language models so replacing words with synonyms won't evade the model as long as its expressing the same thing.

Hm...that is odd, assuming you are still on Mobian/Phosh. Assuming you tried standard debugging, this page gives you some avenues for help: https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php

The matrix channel for Mobian is very active, and there are plenty of folks there who can help debug that.
My library (in the same industry) contains a few hundred dollars worth of documents, because that's all I could get purchasing to pay for. We're just a small integrator, many to most in our field simply don't know what's in the documents because they don't buy any of them.

You can go a long way with cargo-cult designs, and a ton of companies get by with approximations, but there are a ton of mistakes made because ANSI/ISO/DIN/IEC refuse to make the documents available for free.
Well, don't you see it as one of the reasons?
The issue is that you've still got Android's Java VM running alongside your lean Go/Rust/Python/Ruby servers with close to no use at all.

To me it's an entirely different experience to code a server in Python and leave it there running as a background process than to code an Android app which serves the same purpose, the latter is unnecessarily hard, specially keeping that process alive over weeks.

I love my Raspberry Pis because I can do whatever I want with them, I've got full access to the system and no junk is preinstalled.

If a phone is rooted, you can get the same kind of access, but the entire experience is so much different, even if you use root to run processes directly on the shell.

LineageOS might be excellent for devices which could still serve as phones, but nearly all of my old devices are just too old to offer an experience similar to modern phones, but they could well serve other purposes.

At that point running Google Play Services and all the vendors bloatware background processes is just a waste of resources.
Thanks for this, I hadn't realised. I don't condone or support those views in any way, and would therefore recommend that anyone reading the essay do so with a critical eye in case these views leaked into its content. It's been a long time since I read it and I'm much more sensitive to this now than I was then so I may have missed subtext that was inappropriate in that way.
Stop blaming the victims. If every corporation had to enforce their own physical security with a private army to prevent theft or killing of their employees, then no business could be a going concern.

We have a social contract where businesses just need to put forth some minimum effort (door locks, alarm) and police and the military do the rest.

We need to enforce this social contract online and against global criminals now. If the criminals are in a state that harbors them, use 10x retaliation to that state to give them an incentive to fix the problem. Dictators don't respect anything but force.
Do you think children should be spending their allowance money on porn? That's surely helpful for OF's bottom line but I question the ramifications of selling our children's sexuality to a few capitalist coders.

Why is it bad? First, teaching children to monetize and sexualize in a capitalistic system, rather than how they evolved which is a more personal and toned down sexual experience. Their psyche is developing, their habits from teenage time will carry forward and affect their only life. It's too risky to gamble on our society's minds by letting any company sell whatever they like to children.

Second, do we want young people wasting their limited money on this content? There's a lot of free things, even if someone is 18, why should they be giving away money for what they can get for free? Is that a sound financial habit?

The divide between online and offline is fairly simple.

Congrats on the launch guys! Fellow Canadian from Montreal here :) I'm curious, what tools / methodology did you follow to generate the high-quality labels, and how many different labels did you end generating?

Trains in Japan are only off-schedule when something really bad happens- collisions and severe weather delays. Both of those affect local lines much more than the Shinkansen (bullet train) since the latter does not share tracks with other services, and does not have any street-level crossings.

If they don't change the tax rate, and my home doubles in appraised value, my tax liability on the property doubles. True, the city might reduce tax rates if property values explode like that but they might also just continue to take in the revenue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Another example of why its good to be active in local politics.

FWIW, I live in Texas so this place gets a good chunk of its tax revenue from property taxes. The odds of them cutting the tax rate just because your house shot up in cost at least to me seems pretty low. This is one of the problems of gentrification, where long time owners find they are unable to continue owning in the $90k house they bought 20 years ago because now they pay property taxes on a $750k property.
The termini are Tokyo-Shinagawa and Nagoya, which are both existing stations and are already connected via the Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train, taking 97 minutes today. Shaving that down to 40 (if all goes as planned) is nice, but not earth-shattering.

Many of them might well be. How can you really tell what kind of situation is going on behind the camera? Abusive relationships can hide in plain sight for years.
Transmission is a form of teaching/learning.
Not sure it has a huge advantage if you take into account the infrastructure: the track is very difficult to build, you need land, you need to take into account every hill or mountain, build bridges and tunnels while a plane can go anywhere without any additional stuff.

Also, a new station at the center of a major city requires a tremendous amount of investment and work, and some new stations may end up outside or far from the center so you'll need time to get to the place you go anyway.

The problem with saying ideas are worthless is that it gives all ideas the same value. That doesn't seem right to me.

There are good ideas and there are bad ideas, and the value they hold is different. Executing on a bad idea is a waste of time. If anything, bad ideas are negative multiplier because they reduce the value of executing to below zero - you'll lose time and money if you try to build them.

With good ideas executing them will yield rewards. They're a positive multiplier - the better the idea, the greater the rewards.

The problem is telling whether or not an idea is good or bad before you start.
