The Mirai just has been replaced by a new version, so it is not a first generation car any more. And the fundamental problems of FCEV can't be addressed so easily. The tanks are huge and you cannot make them smaller. This means, space in a FCEV is more constrained.
Nor can you change the energy consumption of the hydrogen delivery much.

But the fundamental question now becomes: considering the performance of the electric cars you can already buy, what is the incentive to invest billions into FCEV development and even more so into fuel stations and distribution? Especially, as there isn't much green hydrogen anytime soon?

Yeah, that was an odd claim about Han Chinese surnames. Many have been around for thousands of years (https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/ezine/2007-07/20/content_54412...) and almost all are single-character surnames based on a limited set of possible sounds (~400 in Mandarin, IIRC)

TLDR: Many ML models in production are terrible, because they were trained on terrible data. These bad models are being used in high stakes situations, such as COVID-19 detection. ML engineers need professional ethos/regulation, analogous to how civic engineers seeking to build a bridge don't screw around.

My take: Yep, if the model is used a high stakes situation, this is absolutely the case. The model should be required to undergo rigorous testing / peer review before it's released into the wild. In a high stakes situations, we have to ensure that a model is good before people get their hands on it, because people can be reliably depended on to treat the model as an oracle.

The metaphor of a "crumbling foundation" is a bad one, though. It's just unregulated; models aren't leaning on one another, and there isn't a risk of wholesale collapse.

Neal Bawa explained that rent prices follow housing prices with about an 18 month lag. There is a set of would-be homeowners, richer than renters, who have been since been priced out of the home buying market, so they outspend the previous set of renters, driving prices up.

A major takeaway from this podcast is that 4-plexes are the best economic investment because they are liquid, ie. 5-plexes incur more scrutiny from the bank, the downside of multiplex is you may need a property manager, so after scraping zillow and doing some machine learning to deduce the most profitable market, Mr. Bawa builds seas of 4-plexes with all administered by a single property management office.

Yeah I could expand on this some more. If a book is on surgical techniques then yeah you need some practice. Surgeons don’t get trained from books. I certainly wouldn’t want to be operated on by someone that only reads about operations.

I think some of this is around what it means to understand a topic. Is it just about an ability to regurgitate facts or maybe you want a book to really sink in because you don’t know when you will apply it.

Taking notes or doing kindle highlights and then reviewing them can really help. Review after you read and then again after a week. This works better for remembering specific things.

One of the best ways to have a book really stick with you is to read it again. This seems to be super linear and some books really benefit from it. That is re-reading a book will more than double your understanding. Sometimes when doing this you will wonder if it’s even the same book. Though this really is more true for better books.
There are certainly horror stories about HOAs. But sometimes, for example, there is shared property like a private road that has to be maintained and plowed. How do you handle that without some sort of group decision-making?
I don't think you can drop the "A" while preserving the original meaning. Without it, an implicit "The" is assumed: "World's worst invasive weed" => "(The) World's worst invasive weed"

The garbage in garbage out cascading failure generally seems to crash pretty fast. Given the U.S. is a capitalistic society the companies / institutions that do this and don't achieve their goals through data science should be apparent and then fail accordingly.

You should be deleting IAM identities you do not use. At the source, not just from the password manager but actually deleting the accounts/secret keys/passwords/whatever.

Also AWS isn't exactly for "reasonable ordinary people", it's a tool that requires some minimum amount of training. Yes the concept isn't super widely used for end user applications (although 1Password is a good example of another such "you have an account on an instance, that is unrelated to your account with the same email on another instance" concept). And yeah I do wish password managers would handle that better, but for anything that uses subdomain-level separation (example.1password.com vs amazon's signin.aws.amazon.com with multiple fields), it generally works out fine.

You didn’t bring up a lot of apps that are similar. Is it because open source is a requirement? Not sure because you bring up obviously non open source app issues.

For a quick look at quite a few apps would be all the Zettelkasten notes apps. Taio is recently out for iOS and Mac too.

I also don’t look at any of the options you listed. There’s still a handful of apps left over.

You have the right to use this project via git submodules. The GitHub terms of service requires code owners to allow forking and linking to their public repositories, regardless of license.
Yes, I have seen those too! That’s why I also wrote Jello, which is like jq but uses pure python without the boilerplate. Python is nearly universal now and typically easy to read, though more verbose. Jq is just as much a write-once tool as awk and perl for more complex queries. For simple attribute calls, though, it’s both terse and readable.

I e.g. think that many self driving car systems are good enough to drive on German highways (and kraftfahrstraßen ~ slower smaller highways).

But only IFF there is no external accident and no construction site.

If both would be handles truckers could sleep/nap while driving on the highways, which could have interesting effects tbh.

Handling construction sites could be made feasible.

But I have no idea how to handle accidents happening around/in-front of the truck in a good way.

Similar I would be worried about improvised marking of fresh accident sites before emergency responders arrive...
TubeBuddy's A/B Testing works by having you create a variation of a video's metadata (this could include the Thumbnail, Title, Tags or Description). We then alternate your video's metadata every 24 hours at Midnight PST (to line up with YouTube Analytics statistics). The test completes either based on a certain number of days that you picked or based on statistical significance being achieved.

In an ideal world, we'd be able to have each impression throughout the day alternate between the Original and Variation which would be a 'true' A/B test. Since YouTube analytics are only provided in 24 hours blocks, our current system is basically the best that can be done taking into account YouTube's limitations.

What do you think about regulation that enforces a maximum limit on the number of dwellings or properties any individual can own?

> At what point is someone's wealth acquisition too much–$1b, $10b, $100b, $1t?

> Limitarianism is the view that no-one should enjoy more than an upper limit of some valuable goods or resources

> Plato's Socrates identifies the ‘endless acquisition of money’ (Plato, 1997b, 373d) as the main cause of civil unrest and war.

> In his last dialogue, the Laws, Plato gives a more or less complete limitarian account with a specification of both a lower and an upper threshold. According to this account, ‘extreme poverty and wealth must not be allowed to arise in any section of the citizen-body’ (Plato, 1997a, 744d).

> Plato provides a detailed description of the lower threshold which each citizen should meet: everyone should obtain one dwelling near the centre of the country and another one near the outskirts. The size of the pieces of land on which these dwellings are built will vary according to the fertility of the land and its distance to the city

True, although the distinction hardly matters to users.
They’re also used for deliveries and sales in urban areas. In a sense those are short distance purposes but may need some range.
Not a surprise at all. Salaries for nice city jobs, such as tech, legal, banking,and finance jobs, tend to exceed inflation,so its reasonable to assume rents will too. Rents in major metro areas such as SF have been expensive forever. No reason to expect this to change. I knew that the narrative/media hype about Covid depressing rents would be short-lived and rent prices would come roaring back with a vengeance as soon as the economy and stock market rebounded.
I have elderly relatives who won't drive at night, or on highways. I have friends who won't drive in various degrees of inclement weather - and I know a LOT of Californians who can't drive in the snow.

Human skill is extremely variable. A car that can drive to any road under any condition will be vastly superior to the average driver.

Reducing such a complex system to a single percentage may be silly, but the idea that a car might have partial coverage under certain conditions is quite reasonable and is reflective of how real human drivers work as well.
Do you refer any specific law?
That's fine.

They should not be able to have say over what happens on non-common property, including peoples' houses and yards, and financials around maintainence of that private road should be disclosed to all people who live on it.
All: please don't react just to the title, and especially not to the most sensational bit of a title. That's a reflexive response, not a reflective one; we want the latter here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

Aside from the cited internet, I would be worried about the other types of infrastructure around me if I was living in such a place. If it keeps depopulating, who's going to pay for roads, water and electricity plants? What's safety gonna be like? Closest ER? There's a lot of things that we are provided with every day and expect to be there, that we don't really think about.
Interesting concept, being “socially transitioned.” A somewhat new concept to me but it reminds me somewhat of grooming and, to grab at an example of timely relevance, the dancing boys[1] of Afghanistan who might also be thought of as being “socially transitioned.”

Reading signs is the really, really easy part. If your vision system can't read and recognise the signs and signals reliably, it's not even beginning to solve the other problems. Trying to adapt the roads to make this part easier is a terrible return on investment. 99% of what you could do to make roads easier to use for self-driving cars is basic maintenance: making sure the signs, markings, and signals remain clearly visible, which also helps improve the performance of human drivers.
There are still double-character surnames, though not as many as there used to be.

That's evolution for you. Some surnames are big winners, some go extinct.

(It's also worth noting that Chinese surnames are highly concentrated in a sampling sense -- there are just a few surnames which cover large chunks of the population -- but if you made a list of names, as opposed to a list of people, the pool of names would look much larger.)
except 99% doesn't necessarily mean "every time you drive"; it's obvious to me that if you drive for 100 miles you are more likely to get into an accident than 10 miles. It's probably closer to "in 99% of situations".
Yes, but this gets away from the bodily autonomy topic which the thread was exploring.

Russian Hogweed [1] [2], which the Russians actually bred and initially controlled, is a huge problem over there. Interesting plant, which burns you if you get the sap on your skin (reacts to sunlight), so you can't just go chopping them down willy nilly. And even if you do, it grows back. They have to be destroyed methodically. They grow at an incredible rate and dominate whatever is around them.

> You have to check if you are allowed to. It does not matter if it is a small pet project or the Linux Kernel.

Actually it does matter and you don't have to. In practice pet projects are basically never going to be sued, it's simply not worth it. As a side note, a lot of techy people struggle to separate the law as written with the law as practiced.

The ethics question is more interesting, but for something like this which is clearly satirical? No harm, no foul.
> For most of the 20th century it had by far the greatest real productive and manufacturing base of any country in the world. The USA has been visibly declining for about 45 years sure, and is no longer the world leader in manufacturing, but it still has a huge and well-diversified economy. Since dollars represent, among other things, claims on a share of that economic output, demand for them is quite real and not just an historical artifact.

This is merely viewing the same thing from a US-centric perspective. From a rest of the world perspective, the largest competitors in EU were destroyed in WW2 (deservedly so imo), China was nowhere and India was impeded first by British colonization and then by Bretton Woods which only focused on EU nations.

America is ahead but make no mistake that the gap is large only because WW2 destroyed other nations and Bretton Woods system was the first step in prevention of other nations from building up rapidly.

Which part and in what way? Clearly the blog post is not satire, since the method works, and the license cannot be satire as it seems like it would be legally sufficient to prevent people from using it, which is exactly the stated purpose of the license. It's also implied that the author has received requests to change the license so others can use the package, which have been denied. The author even went so far as to remind people in this comment thread that they don't want it to be used! The license is serious on its face and in practice. Where is the joke?
Just to ensure I understand your and this George fellow's assertion, you're basically claiming that renting should be a revenue neutral activity, not producing profit, but being entirely counterbalanced by taxation. I.e. not an investment.

I want to make sure I'm actually getting it, because I'm not sure I disagree in a sense. Housing/land has too much importance in the scheme of being a financial asset to the point it is detrimental to actually utilizing the world around us. Finance as social control mechanism has become, in my opinion, so fundamentally tangible as to be downright laughable.

So am I getting it, or am I still missing the point?
