NTHSA requested docs on this issue from 12 automakers in total, as all of their emergency braking systems have this limitation when utilizing driver assistance systems.

My theory is that it’ll eventually be a requirement to detect emergency vehicles optically using a similar system to how traffic lights detect emergency vehicle strobe lights and give them priority (Opticon system). This is trivial with a front facing camera, but not possible with radar.

My read: there is something called a "key", and keys come in various kinds. If you only know that something is a key, the author says it should be clear that you can tell if something is a sensory key based only on its content. They explain that the adjective is part of the key's identity.

Their collaborator notes that another kind of key, a "requester's key", cannot be distinguished just by the contents of the key itself; it's more about the context in which the key is used. The collaborator notes that "sensory key" could very well be the same kind of thing, if you don't already know any better. The author was surprised at how implicitly this knowledge was in their mind. They had attributed this feature to adjectives in general, not realizing the subtlety.

Realistically, every PeerTube viewer would also need to pay for the thousands or more viewers any creator will lose by forcing viewers to pay money and by moving to a niche platform with worse UX and no serious discovery.
Rather than that I should've written, "we should use whatever abstraction makes the problem easiest to reason about".

I have no preference for either fyi.

As for our appraisal company, we send human beings into the appraisal district to speak with other human beings and negotiate a value. It is a very unsexy line of work, I'll give ya that.

This article is about a very cool topic, probing the earths core.

Stories back to Journey to the Center of the Earth have talked about this. It's a fun book, short, free and cultural (I didn't know it was done in French) - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18857

Instead on HN we get a stack of OT comments were people don't even know the difference between ground source heat pump's and geothermal. And yes, some people call ground source heat pump's geothermal but that has nothing to do with this article, which has nothing to do with tapping geothermal energy anyway.

Iceland is also a fucking hydro nation NOT a geothermal power nation. They uniquely use large scale geothermal for heating, which is interesting but very niche.

The cult of climate change ruins everything. Is there nothing it's ignorance can't touch. And yes that's what this is, brains so melted they can't marvel at the wonders of the earth. This is what happens when a large industry needs to keep the population under it's control, constant, changing, fear with no solutions to the ongoing crisis they create.
The only restriction YouTube has is that you can’t create videos that purely say “go check us out on this other platform”, which is what they used to do for WAN show when it was only streamed on Twitch but announced on YT.
I've done the same thing, but for more than just bugs. Pretty much any time I learn something while working that I think might be easy to overlook in the future, I write it down.

Some of my findings end up in internal training if it's something the team needs to know. If it's something for me, I'll just keep it in my own notes for the next time I encounter it until it's burned into my memory.
I think AirBnB was trying to have that vibe at the beginning. The problem is that you end up in a situation where that vibe doesn't scale. If you're trying to create a business worth billions, you need a lot more hosts and transactions than amateurs accommodate. An amateur might host someone for a few nights a month or a few nights per quarter. A professional is going to have an investment property that they're looking to book as much as possible and with the conveniences that make sure they get good ratings from guests.

I think a bunch of things have started out this way. Uber/Lyft: just people driving in their spare time to help people out and make a little spare cash. The problem is that if you're an app that just relies on people helping others out for a little spare cash, you don't have a lot of capacity. If you don't have a lot of capacity, you're just a cute niche thing that isn't worth much. So you end up relying on full-time drivers and you need to cater to them and figure out ways to attract and retain them. An pro driving 60 hours a week is worth a lot more than an amateur driving 4 hours a week every other week - 30x more. Likewise, a pro renting out an investment property 25 days a month is worth a lot more than someone renting a room in their house a few days a month.

I think you end up with a pivot from "oh, this is a cute thing with a little compensation" to something that's just a regular business.
Wow, this sounds horrible. I'm glad there are at least some treatments!
The article sources a lot of the revenue numbers from Sensor Tower. How reliable are the numbers from Sensor Tower?
Yeah, and don't worry about noise pollution -- the stress might kill you :)
Could Netflix replace TLS with some in-house alternative that would push more processing to the client? Something that pre-encrypts the content on disk before sending, eliminating some of the TLS processing requirements?
The same baseline problem holds for hospitalizations as well. Nobody knows how many hospital beds were occupied in the last 10 years. Evidence points to a strong decrease in hospital capacity in germany at least in the last 20 years. Talking about "collapse of hospital system" is very bad in my opinion. No data shows that this actually happened in the EU at least. Also keep in mind that there is always (year does not matter) some place on earth where a hospital may collapse. So bergamo (italy) for example is just anecdotal evidence.

On possibly reduced mortality by lockdown : OK, fair enough. I think you can see it in decreased car accidents in germany and also in seemingly low influenza associated deaths. But my theory is that influenza and sars2 are evolutionary competing for vulnerable individuals and sars2 seems to be winning right now. I saw a nice study showing this for several flu-like viruses a couple of years ago. But getting enough and clean data for problems like this is very hard.

I think the lockdown has almost nothing to do with the virus but is a strange reaction to increased pressure of globalization and digitalization on the societies as well as a global economic crisis. Maybe lockdown policies will stay for a long time. But not to protect us from a dangerous virus but to ease some kind of mass anxiety and to make us ready for a new kind of governance focused on ai, big data and techocracy.
Nice. Most schools are getting are getting around this by providing chromebooks... but making them mandatory and parents responsible for any damage.
To get to my apartment complex requires that I drive down a street where at least one house I know of has a street-facing Ring doorbell. Is that thing always recording? Can the police obtain video from that device without a search warrant? Are the owners of that house even aware of the privacy implications behind these devices, and even if so, do they care?

How about that story with the local pizza shop digital ad board that had hidden cameras recording people and performing facial recognition without their knowledge (https://www.bitcoininsider.org/article/1241/norwegian-pizza-...). Now it's becoming mainstream "loyalty" (spy) tech: https://retailtouchpoints.com/features/news-briefs/caliburge....

I strongly agree with you that upholding privacy is not a personal choice, but a societal one. Any attempts to suggest otherwise is blaming the victim.
If you found a match, how would the site know that you matched successfully if you didn't want the site to know (so you could recover the full amount)?
Honestly, where should I post this?
I am not sure it the tweet author is exposing it. The museum has long since acknowledged it is a possible fake and removed it from display.
The author touches on this:

> Most ordinary people miss this conflict by not distinguishing these two different kinds of “rich”.

The British refer to these classes as the academic elite and the commercial elite. They compete with each other.
I can't speak for Berlin, but it's basically illegal to build new housing in sufficient quantities in virtually every major American city. Due to this fact, prices have shot up everywhere.

The entire state of California now has a housing crisis with > 30% of residents spending more than a third of their income on housing.

Some estimates indicate that the US as a whole has underbuilt by around 5M units of housing. There are quite a few causes to this, but exclusionary zoning is definitely one of them.
Ideally construction noises are temporary though :)
That really puts it into perspective. If we each chipped in one penny per video we could replace advertisements for everyone. At least in terms of supporting the content creators.
Similarly, most browser will let you set up a custom search such that you wouldn't even need to go to DuckDuckGo. For example I have "yt" as the alias that searches YouTube. Basically it takes the phrase you enter and puts it into the search query parameter of YouTube.

I'm actually quite willing to forgive sexism from old books. Remember, the book was written in 1936. It was a little after women got voting rights in the US, and it wasn't until WW2 when women were taking over the factories that equality seemed legit. Child marriage in my country wasn't only legal, it was encouraged at that time, because women were illiterate and "needed a good man".

We've gone damn far in 3-4 generations. Books of the time were sexist. I was reading Aristotle's Poetics and it struck out as sexist - he said that women and slaves made for bad protagonists because of their lower class, unless it's a story about people in a lower class.

Old books have a lot of good forgotten things, but they're usually much harder reads because you have to mentally filter out these things.
Actually I might retract that statement, further reading on https://couchers.org/ makes me think that it could have been a lot better. People may not have left negative reviews because they didn't want to be perceived as difficult hosts/guests.

sin and cos come from trigonometry (from Greek trigōnon, "triangle" and metron, "measure"). But they can be used for lots of other things, including calculating how to rotate an object or draw a circle.
Can you give some examples of individual HN users who've said both things?
Great point for a deeper discussion. When it comes to deciding when to move fast & when to think more carefully, the answer to this question feels very nuanced and problem domain specific than the aphorism suggests.

More action has led to painfully bad engineering decisions in some working startups i've joined that leads to attrition & perhaps years of refactoring. Sure, the argument could be made, "well that's the learning!" you moved fast and realized it wouldn't scale. And in some cases, you're right and in other cases you wished you hired someone better for the job.

Perhaps, then, to minimize the pain of the future, the less talk more action mentality only works with better engineers who make better decisions. I don't have any data to back up this claim but it sure feels like better engineers who are successful are better at making fewer mistakes when wanting to move fast.
I believe we've been experiencing much higher rates of inflation than are reported by our governments.

Here in Canada there's a few factors that conceal true inflation and poverty: the cost of housing, save for renovations, is not part of our inflation metric; our low income cut off is parametric as a factor of mean income; and so on.
The decision to take venture capital was really the start of all the subsequent issues. They should have just asked surfers to pay a dollar on each day that they sent a message or something to that effect; surely it would have added up to millions without being onerous.
It's a fun quote, but it's apocryphal.
This article focuses on the few dozen people who had the most power, including my friend Menelaos, but the real story of CS (after the backups failed, "CS2") was the story of a community of millions of people building something wonderful together. That small nucleus of people who ultimately sold us out contributed, but they only contributed a tiny proportion of the whole.

I met a lot of people through Couchsurfing and HospitalityClub. It's boring to be in a new country and having your only social contacts be hotel employees who are being paid to be nice to you, and other tourists; all you can do is buy things, consume, and go out for dinner with other tourists. With CS2 and HC, by contrast, you could meet people and actually participate in stuff. Youth hostels are somewhat better than hotels on that axis, but CS2 was the bomb.

One of the great things about it was that, even if you didn't have a budget to travel, you could travel virtually by having people from random foreign countries come and stay at your house.

During the years I was participating in CS2, I was in a monogamous relationship, so I didn't have any opportunities to participate in the CasualSex aspect which other people in the comments are talking so much about; I saw it in action at CS2 parties a little, but most of what I know about it is hearsay.

Spies like Patrick Dugan were of course involved in CS2 even before the company was actually sold to them. I recall one ex-nuclear-sailor from the US who came to hang out with the couchsurfers here in Buenos Aires; he was supposedly working on an Argentine solar energy project.

Like a lot of communities, it was destroyed by granting a few people too much power. Being people (but lacking enough power to establish themselves as god-kings and found a dynasty) they used that power to privatize community resources and sell them off for their own benefit. It's a cautionary tale about checks and balances. Free-software licensing is an important control on abuses like this, but centralized hosting inevitably gives a lot of power to whoever has physical access to the data center.

I like collecting books and in some way on purpose buy and collect way more than I could possibly read in all formats, audio,physical,digital.

I guess for me finishing the book is not the expectation, I like to reflect and sit back and really examine if I agree or not agree with the author.

books that I decided to stop reading :

"You are not a gadget" by Jaron Lanier, it's too negative and has the bias of believing lack of action is equivalent to building and self-correcting, I might return to it one day but right now I don't need more of that academic passive negativity.

kazuo ishiguro "never let me go", the introduction of the novel is gripping, the strange tone of the young protagonist draws you in, but then it starts getting more heavy with London heavy clouds dark sky vibe, and I was feeling like "no thanks, not today".

The one thing in common with the books that I finished more quickly is that they were either inspiring or had concise clear conclusions with satisfying progression and ending.
Yeah, I've seen several creators mention "extended" or "uncensored" versions of their content on another platform. Off the top of my head, Corridor Digital is one example that advertises their alternative content pretty heavily.
Pray tell, what advantages would the powers that be gain by killing off/injuring the vast majority of the productive class of mainstream citizens?

Doing so would devastate the economy, bring technological progress to a quick halt, and result in enormous and unpredictable public response.

I see no gain in it for them. Do you?

If you've ever received something that looked "hand written" it's either a convincing fake, or made by an intern/slave.

I think we should probably question why this person thinks that revealing how the sausage is made will endear anyone to them.
Okay, call it reading people who do research then.
I see a lot of fintech startups but there is absolutely 0 money in providing basic bank accounts for paupers.

It's why companies like Revolut and Bunq always end up doing what ordinary banks are doing: upselling. Shitty insurance and expensive creditcards is where the money is. Also transaction fees up the wazoo.
Looking into it made me realize traditional banks aren't really evil- they are kept under tight government regulations that forces them to take any customer. Even the ones that make them no money. No I'll be sticking with €15 per year account.

It's not just the computer. They tend to be forced to use Drive, email, chat, etc provided by the school to meet their collaboration/participation part of the rubric.
Well, it's also native to believe that we could dunno enough CO2 into the atmosphere to affect global mean temperature, yet here we are.

Multiply any activity by a non trivial fraction of humanity and you get non trivial side effects.
I have a hard time seeing most of these as "emergent narrative". They're just random level generation. By that metric Asteroids is "emergent narrative". 5 astroids approached, 2 from the left, one from the top, 2 from the right. I decided to target the one on the top. It broke in 2 but my quick reflexes swiftly took care of the one heading toward me. I gave chase to the other clearing the universe of one of its original 5 asteroids."

To have "emergent narrative" IMO requires a much larger set of verbs than "door, lock, hallway, monsters types A-Z, etc..."

The IMF and World Bank shouldn’t be on that list. They help third world countries replicate the practices and systems that have made developed countries wealthy.

I remember reading an article in 2000 from some Brown professor encouraging Bangladesh (my home country) not to listen to the World Bank and IMF and instead do indigenous agriculture or something like that.

Good thing nobody gives a shot what Brown professors think because Bangladesh has developed tremendously over the last two decades thanks to following those policies.
> The scary part is that it's impossible to verify where most of the online content on both sides come from. The enemies of the West must be having a field day with how easy it is to insert radically opposite and polarising views into each side and then watching big issues become quashed, and little issues become magnified beyond proportion.

I have a theory that I cannot provide verifiable evidence for, but due to the technical fluency of the readers here I believe it may be interesting to some.

I run a small marketing service that ingests new content submitted to a number of social media sites (colloquially known as “social listening”). We run text analytics on the content, primarily to find marketing opportunities for customers. That system also has very rudimentary checks for “bot” accounts.

Starting in early 2020 there was a massive, massive spike in the number of bot accounts creating and responding to content on reddit. Our system doesn’t “cross-reference” flagged accounts very well, but I manually went through the post history on a few of those accounts and found that many of them had responded with congruent comments to submissions of other flagged accounts.

Furthermore, most of the flagged accounts had a similar pattern in the timing of their posts. Posts and comments were relatively irregular and sporadic near the start of the accounts’s history, indicative of a real user. Then, submissions completely stopped for a number of months. After the pause, the account would resume submissions and comments with far more regularity. The patterns exhibited by those accounts may indicate that they were overtaken and sold in bulk accounts lists for use as bot accounts.

Every account that I checked was posting content with a clear narrative.

I believe these are very large bot networks upvoting and submitting content of a particular nature in order to sway popular discourse and give an appearance of a particular consensus among conversation participants.

The plausibility of my theory has been augmented by the fact that rudimentary software for creating reddit bot networks can be found for sale on various “botting” forums. Furthermore, I was accepted into the OpenAI GPT-3 beta a few months ago; the capabilities of that model have further convinced me of the validity of my theory.

If you have experience with bots, natural language processing, or another related field, please feel free to point out flaws in my theory!
Well, he's giving it exposure... Yeah, he at least hints at something such towards the end of the thread -- but I had no idea about that from before, so he "exposed" the whole thing at least to me.
