The technology does not exist.

No one can do this, yet.

Anime, CGI, current shonky deep fake porn exists. So this will definitely exist one day.

There is lots of legit money to be made first on whoever can invent the tech. Anything that can do what you suggest will be able to do a lot of amazing stuff.

>if we can generate incredibly detailed and believable faces

We can't. Not with 'deep fakes' HN articles about AI influencers are not real. They are models or groups of models that are enhanced to look a certain way.
Yes, but isn't the threshold for that above 26,000 pounds?
> Most people do not know the technical details of airplane autopilot systems, because they are not technical nor are they pilots. Colloquially, autopilot means fully autonomous to most people.

That's not how they work or are used in aviation:

1) The pilot in command is solely responsible for the flight, not a device. That's why there's 2 pilots on airline flights, and will be for the forseeable future (ie. decades.)

2) Autopilots are either basic levellers (like automotive cruise control systems), or FMS (computer systems.) In either case, a pilot configures them, and is likely to deactivate or re-program them during flight. There's no confusion who is responsible though - solely the pilot in command.

3) The pilot is not there "for legal reasons" - he's there as the airman responsible and in control of the trip.

4) An airline might have minimum equipment lists (MELs) that require a functioning autopilot for revenue flights, but it depends on the aircraft model. (Because airliners are complex machines, it's not required to have every single piece of equipment working for each flight.)

> With responsible investing gaining popularity, even as major nations seek ways to counter tax evasion in offshore financial centers and put unwanted individuals and companies on designated persons lists to deter business with them, the problem of revealing the ultimate beneficiary that owns a company through a long chain of intermediaries is as complex and relevant as ever.

Fun.
A ballistic missile at Mach 25 is an easily detected threat that the other side wouldn't be able to determine was inbound for the mainland or some fleet off the coast. Odds are inbound hypersonic weapon would avoid detection until it's directly within radar range.

This would likely mean the weapon hits its non-mainland target prior to the other side taking notice for a retaliatory strike. In the event the other side did notice - it's likely they wouldn't treat it as a nuclear incursion unless the weapon was heading inland towards missile silos or other infrastructure that would motivate a nuclear retaliation.

To your point on stranded assets - these weapons make performing any large military action in the pacific much riskier with greater probability for missteps or stalemates. Assuming a cost of 20-100 million dollars per missile I wouldn't be surprised if they are cost competitive with high risk carrier based F-35 operations in a hypothetical Pacific conflict. It's probably cheaper to stock pile such missiles than maintain additional carrier strike groups for the sole task of participating in a great power conflict.
Ah yes pay up front to maybe break even after driving for 6 years and 100k miles. Electricity prices are likely going higher as more EVs are built, so keep that in mind too. Or you could get solar panels, now your up front cost is even higher, but if all goes well eventually you will break even with this too and maybe even save money some day all while saving the environment (aside from battery and panel waste)
A majority of pickup truck sales in the USA fall in the luxury range (average price $56K). People buy them more to make a lifestyle statement than actual utility.
so what does mercury bank offer me? I visited the site and cannot find anything that seems like a massive advantage over some big name bank.
So a few meta-comments: Business Indsider is a known click-farm, how "electric truck" qualifies as Business news is beyond me. Every post that points out the high cost of this truck in comparison to competitors is downvoted.

Consulsion, this seems like an astroturfed thread to promote a new truck.
> Yes, on the contrary, if the labor market wasn't tight, there would be little investment in automated trucks in the first place.

If automated trucks result in a lower capital and operational cost on behalf of the business, even with an ample supply of qualified truckers, why wouldn't that necessitate investment in that space?
a website is not a product
You think a JPMorgan analyst writing a report saying foreclosures are good for the economy doesn't have mal intent? This is like the purdue memo that says oxycodone isn't addictive.
Same here, it hit the front page in minutes with no comments and content is lacking a bit...
I was expecting that it really had something to do with the moon, though.
I do a lot with SQLite, and this looks promising. It’s early days, as their about page (dbhub.io/about) says, and they have no pricing model yet. But I’ll keep an eye on them.
It's available on Vive Focus 3, the only other comparable standalone headset widely available in the US market that I'm aware of.

FB is just way ahead of the field on standalone. Once everyone else catches up I'll be surprised if Immersed doesn't port to each of them.
I watched a video review of it earlier today and it seems like an awesome truck (if it holds up long term). But the front is so hideous. It seems like they were so thoughtful with the rest of the design, but turned the front over to Little Tikes. I can’t believe that’s what they went with. Also, the price is way higher than I was thinking for a truck.

But I’m really excited about electric trucks. I often need a truck but not every day, but the thought of having a daily driver that uses so much gas keeps me from buying one.
You have to compare across similar trim levels. The off-road and upmarket versions of the F-150 are not $35k. The F150 Raptor for example is $78-81k, and arguably they’re better competitors given their claims to off road capability.

The F-150L is really designed as a fleet truck, which puts it into a whole separate category.
It's my understanding that this will hit a wall in Canada, where lawyers can own companies and sit on boards on behalf of clients, and not be compelled to reveal them.

Heat pumps have largely solved the battery capacity problems with cold batteries (though not the fast charging rate). I don't have numbers for Rivian, but heater-equipped EVs from other manufacturers now routinely post numbers in frigid temperatures that are under 20% range degradation. You're basically just paying for the extra energy to run the heater.
huh? This doesn't really have anything to do with climate change. Energy consumption is an important software performance metric, measuring it is the first step to optimizing that aspect of the software. Normally this sort of thing is done with low power microcontrollers, this article is just talking about techniques applicable to higher level systems.
> The vast majority of people, anywhere in the world, are fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

The majority of the world's population is probably fiscally liberal and socially conservative by Western standards.

Pick a random person in Africa, Asia or the Middle East. They likely have views on many social issues which are very much at the conservative end of those debates by Western standards, even though their positions would be moderate by the standards of their own society.

On the other hand, they are unlikely to share the free market / small government / etc orthodoxy which defines so much of Western economic/fiscal conservatism.

Talking to people is a very skewed sample, because anyone you personally talk to from country X is unlikely to be representative of the general population country X. They are more likely to be an emigrant, more likely to be English-speaking, likely to be better educated – all influences which can lead to them having different views than the majority of the population of their country of origin.
So I was a staunch physical control guy (drove a manual through 2016, with the first car lacking power steering), and now a Tesla owner. I thought I’d feel more strongly against the entire touch setup. And it does suck a lot and makes me take my eyes off the road more than I should. At the same time, my spouses Honda, which has more physical buttons than many other cars, requires fewer, but not markedly fewer eyesight departures.

I guess the last car I could drive and fiddle with the controls without looking was my 2003 EP3 hatch. So I figure if all cars are going to make me look at a screen as I fiddle, in for a pinch, in for a pound.
Additionally, there's corporate tools that can do this. We use one at work that monitors mention of our brand names etc so that our customer care can reply. It's called Sprinklr. It does all the major platforms.

In fact there's dozens of tools just like it. I'm not sure whether they're scraping the platforms or get legitimate access. But whichever it is, it's dozens of companies to infiltrate and get a link into their feeds. Trivial for a nation state actor.
The original promise of the Internet and, especially, the WWW was to elide the distinction between publisher and consumer--i.e. developer and user.

The incredible increase in the complexity of the modern internet has almost completely restored that fundamental distinction, if not made it deeper and wider, giving rise to publishers (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc) and other media companies (e.g. Google) with powers we haven't seen for over a century, if ever.
it's designed to subvert and dissolve our civilization and subordinate it to directed chaos

I don't know if calling it a foreign-initiated conspiracy theory is going too far, but I'm sure China and friends are laughing at the slow wokeness-driven self-destruction of the West. It's sad to see for sure.
The Latin numeral M denotes thousands. Thus, MM is the same as writing "M multiplied by M," which is equal to "1,000 times 1,000", which equals 1,000,000 (one million).

So, we should refrain from using lowercase m for this.
It's bad on descriptive grounds. There is no "wage price" spiral going on. Labor is weak no it's not the 1970s. There is simply supply bottlenecks, or rather:

increased demand is auditing our practices and finding the weakpoints we already had.

This is a good thing. (Unless you are a lazy capitalist that just wants to maximize your effort/investment to profit ratio.) We should continue to hold up demand until the bottle necks are fixed. (This is not a "beatings will continue until moral improves" situation.) We should be thankful increased demand as clarified what investments are needed. No surprise, it's unsexy things like 200m fabs not whatever trendy shit gets the money in the asset bubble we've had the last decade.

If we do anything beyond prop up demand and enacting environmental regulation, it should be puncturing the stupid asset bubble like China is doing with real estate. Getting all that crypto money to seek returns elsewhere would be a good thing.
Make sense. Probably Tik-Tok (etc) has employees who are US intelligence assets too, safe to assume seems like.

Now I wonder if every large US social media company also has employees who are intelligence assets of US agencies. I'm not going to say 'safe to assume', theoretically America likes to think of itself as having that kind of domestic secret policing, but I wonder.
Just looking at the body... while a Unibody design will work for city usage, I don't see this working for anyone that does any towing, hauling significant weight, or frequent off-roading. There's a reason the truck manufactures have stuck with body-over-frame, you separate the "hold the people" concerns from the "hold the weight" concerns to make a more durable product. Essentially, if you're using it as a car, it'll make a great car, but using it as a truck will inevitably lead to failure. If you don't believe me, ask any 4x4 Offroader, or watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKMQjm7i2Jw

Speaking of reliability, the American truck market is _hyper competitive_ and that is one of the main reasons people buy the vehicles: they just don't break down. I think there's a great opportunity for truck makers here: an electric truck has far less things to break. A generation leap in reliability could be achieved. I think GM and the new Hummer has the best chance of breaking into the market in this regard.
ok, i'm stretching it but still, the reality is that people keep on using HN and the convos are good (was better before but alas)
Considering they’re the supplier for amazons electric delivery vehicle fleet, I doubt they’ll run out of money
TLDR: Assuming a fixed qr code size, more resiliency to noise (mud on image, etc) requires putting more information in the code. To fit this the boxes need to be smaller, so that's harder to read. But if you're in a noisy environment and actually need the error correction it's still worth it.

> 2.5 Why not just use a subset of HTTP and HTML?

> [...]

> The problem is that deciding upon a strictly limited subset of HTTP and HTML, slapping a label on it and calling it a day would do almost nothing to create a clearly demarcated space where people can go to consume only that kind of content in only that kind of way. It's impossible to know in advance whether what's on the other side of a https:// URL will be within the subset or outside it. It's very tedious to verify that a website claiming to use only the subset actually does, as many of the features we want to avoid are invisible (but not harmless!) to the user. It's difficult or even impossible to deactivate support for all the unwanted features in mainstream browsers, so if somebody breaks the rules you'll pay the consequences. Writing a dumbed down web browser which gracefully ignores all the unwanted features is much harder than writing a Gemini client from scratch.

I'd get a kick out of a markdown-web, personally.
I wonder how the limits would change if the parameters of the problems were redefined as hypergraphs.

Not only in the United States. See this article about proposals to introduce voter ID laws in Australia – https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/politics/australian-politics... – much like the US situation, the reforms are being proposed by the centre-right federal government, while the centre-left parties are opposed to it, as are progressive-leaning activist groups (such as the Human Rights Law Centre quoted in the article)
It might be a fake or a plant, with the "leaked video" a misnformation tactic. The whole thing a planned ploy. Like a FOUND FOOTAGE Hollywood film,
Looking at the pictures of where it's being used, I don't see anything too loose, anything too steep and certainly nothing wet. It may very well certainly 'redefine what a truck can be' once it's been through half a lake - it could become a dead weight.

That said, I think most people do not use an off-road truck to any extreme, and for the most part it will just function as a car with a large space for putting big items.

At some point, electric trucks will genuinely be far superior off road. Given they don't require air to run, assuming the human inside can tolerate it, electric trucks really could go anywhere. I somehow doubt it's this truck though.
The app is only available on Quest 2 and Vive Focus 3 at the moment, and Quest 2 is very capable for 1/3 the price.

If Immersed is going to become widespread, it needs to focus on standalone headsets, so non-gamers can use it.
Or we could get rid of the Jones act and just move freight by ship instead of driving it long distances.
Early reactors required active safety mechanisms: You had to actively do stuff (such as pumping coolant) to keep them from melting.

Modern reactors are designed to be far more "passively safe" such that failures cause the reactor to shut down safely even if the operators do nothing.

You obviously don't own a Tesla. Turn signals are not touch controls. There are enough physical controls for important functions. Everything else being on the screen has been perfectly fine. In fact it's mostly better, due to automatic sensor-based control and high quality voice recognition. The only annoying thing in my mind is opening the glove compartment.
But which chain? From what I read, it's very important to distinguish between the true chain which full nodes can come to consensus on based on proof of work, and a possible attacker chain which is longer, but low effort.

https://cryptoservices.github.io/blockchain/consensus/2019/0...

And I believe I've read that, when you aren't running a full node, you have to just assume the longest chain is the right one. I mean, all that data is the chain, right? If you don't process it, you have to assume other nodes are trustworthy.

What you are saying about complete control sounds to me like if I said I have complete control over my bank account, in the sense nobody can guess my password, but maybe the bank is fake and I'm not even trying to check.

Where does this idea come from?
I had an interview with FB last year for a Sr. Data Scientist role. The technical interview asked the following question (paraphrasing):

Tweens and teens view FB as a platform for their parents. How can we test this statement? And if this statement is true, how do we grow into this market and test that they are engaging with the platform?

I thought the question was odd thinking they could have provided a better hypothetical than focusing on getting more teens to use FB. Then I remembered why I don't have a FB account and deemed this probably wasn't hypothetical. I then told myself no paycheck is worth working on such problems.

Seems I wasn't far off in my assumptions.
Heard from HN. Saved up a ton of money in college for one. Miss how good the original beds used to be. We went with another 3 years after our first in 2013 and it was horrible in comparison. Used to recommend the brand to everyone until that point. Sounds like you made a great exit however

So I would assume Intel is also doing similar.
It's not clear the Harappan symbols were an alphabet (the hieroglyphs certainly weren't) or even written language, though they're clearly symbolic. Nobody has any idea whether the Harappan symbols somehow relate to astrology. My best guess is that they're similar to heraldry, cattle brands, or graffiti tags: ideograms representing personal names or lines of descent. But I'm no expert in the field.

The main thing is that there's a lot of prehistory. The Stone Age was 3 million years long; people have been cooking their food for 1.75 million years; anatomically modern humans are 250,000 years old; behavioral modernity (elaborate graves, fishing, artifact diversity, common figurative art) is from 50,000 years ago, or perhaps as long as 80,000; the first proto-cities like Çatal Höyük date from 10,000 years ago; the city of Eridu is from 7500 years ago.

In places, "history" (in the sense of written records) is only 500 years old; in most of Europe it's less than 2000 years old. Imhotep built the first Egyptian pyramid only 4700 years ago, but in his day, people had already had brains pretty much the same as our own for ten times that long. 90% of the time of people painting pictures and burying their dead happened before Imhotep; half of the time of people living in cities happened before Imhotep. And 99% of the time of people with brains pretty much the same as our own was before Columbus.

That is, the founding of proto-cities like Çatal Höyük was as long ago for Imhotep as Imhotep is for us. But Imhotep didn't have writings from Çatal Höyük to read or archaeologists to investigate it.
