Lets take the analogy one step further. Imagine we have an Autopilot chainsaw, you just have to touch it every once in a while to tell it to keep sawing. Then suddenly it starts sawing in a completely unexpected way and causes an accident. Are you at fault because you have to, in theory, keep in control at all times? Even though you in practice relinquish control and humans don't have the ability to context switch without a delay? The issue would not have occured if the chainsaw didn't start behaving in an unexpected way but it also would not have occured if you didn't use the Autopilot function.
I agree with you on being unable to work with some people. Being remote helped a lot with the nuisance by keeping meetings to the point.
Perhaps, but in some places (aka Texas) title insurance is unnecessarily and outrageously expensive:

the commission does what the member states want. obviously it has its own agency in the matters, but members don't send someone who would totally disregard their wishes.

the whole problem with these security-privacy ideas is that the member governments want to reign in the Internet, just as they did with every other phenomena for the past hundreds of years. (with varying degrees of "success".)

CSAM is especially a big red cloth that catches the eye of governments. It's not like there was less child abuse before the Internet, and if there were absolutely no CSAM on it from tomorrow ther wouldn't be less actual abuse... :/

I vividly remember, in the early 80s, a guy who's now a successful VC telling me that there was no reason why software should cost more than a college textbook. This was radical at the time; now of course textbooks are much more expensive if you want to actually buy them.

Interesting. Matrix solves this problem by not associating a username with a phone number or email address (unless you opt in to). Does anyone have views on if this will work into the future?

I'm moved ~90 of my friends onto Matrix (along with plenty of group chats), and most of them quite like the Element [1] app (though there are rough edges on iOS I'm hearing).

I have no direct insight, but from what I gather, the amount of data generated there is staggering (1 petabyte/second raw, 1 petabyte/day after filtering). Storing and processing this much data certainly required immense technological advances (which have been shared with the community at large). Again, my impression from far outside.

But fundamental research like this does not have short-term prosperity or technological breakthroughs as main priority anyway, so I'm not sure why you're so concerned about that.

> Is Transit/someone else also looking at the other pain point of buses that is payment processing - trying to get a bus but needing exact change or a fare card is a pain, and I usually just take an Uber instead even if my trip is along a bus route.

In Sydney you can pay for busses with any debit card (or apple pay etc). These systems are available, it’s just a matter of adopting them.
Also, in New York State, it seems like places outside cities are generally part of "towns" which are corporations?

I think it's easy to overestimate how much you know about other states.
On Ethereum, the majority of transaction fees are burned. In effect, they are distributed to ETH holders in the same way that stock buybacks distribute corporate revenues.
My understanding is that they are safe in the event of a crash, not that they have the best crash avoidance.

That's why DLC, microtransactions and ingame payments were invented. Today the 60 dollars are just the symbolic entry fee to the ingame shop ;)

Exactly. So root for a W3C metaverse, not Facebook's walled garden.
Well said.

Another way to think about tacit knowledge:

Mit chell Jo
Jonathan Mitchell

Why do you know those refer to the same individual or at least highly suspect they do?

Now you can begin to explain the rules and logic underpinning that understanding, but for every explanation you give, a counterexample can be shown where you'll go: Ah yes, but in this case... And you'll add more and more rules, yet you'll find that never do these rules and your own judgement are a 1:1 perfect match if you were to test them against yourself, you'll keep finding cases where you concluded differently.

Thus what is this knowledge that you truly leverage to make the decision? It seems that you cannot explain it fully, maybe your explanation isn't even anywhere the true knowledge you leverage, but only an approximation you made up when asked how? That knowledge is thus tacit, because you cannot express it fully to others, you won't be able to document it, or to produce a computer algorithm for it, or to communicate it to anyone else. It seems to become your expert intuition.

It turns out that Machine Learning has made some breakthrough in that realm, in that the computer can similarly learn some tacit understanding, though it may not be the same as yours, it gets closer than what your rules expressed, and it too cannot be explained back, why the computer comes to its decision is also tacit.

For WhatsApp it is just settings->chats->save to camera roll which doesn’t feel like a huge burden.

I think the way I think about it is that your phone's ‘photos’ app should have all the things you would think of as photos and things people sent you are included in that. Though I’m not sure what iMessage does (I think they don’t show up in photos. At least, things you take don’t show up). I also wish the app were better at differentiating between photos you took and photos that WhatsApp added, e.g. I once found a video of my feet walking through the snow in flip flops and I couldn’t remember where I was or why I did it, until I had worked out that it was my brother’s feet and came from WhatsApp. It would be nice to have some source metadata[1] and maybe a deep link back to WhatsApp, or at least have the app say “this is in the WhatsApp album by the way”

[1] ok, this actually exists for more recent photos and started exactly when I last upgraded my phone. So I am somewhat happy there I guess.

DAO is crypto backed by crypto. I think GP is referring to the lack of transparency with fiat-backed stable coins, like tether.
What is unjust? There's (claimed) fraud committed, and it's under investigation. 'Justice has not yet been served', sure, but maybe let 'the system' work before decrying it as 'unjust'?

What would you have be done differently, immediately turf out the new 'owner', who in his eyes paid for it fair and square?

Assuming it's all true, presumably it will be returned to the true owner, the transaction reversed, and the cheated non-owner will have a solid civil case against the defrauder for the inconvenience and expense.
jsquery is absolutely amazing technology.

A few years ago I prototyped a user path analysis DB where we replaced a 25GB time series database of user events with one where each user has one row with a JSONB array representing their entire history, and querying it using jsquery with GIN indexes took milliseconds. Things like "find me all the users who added item X to their cart and then went on to purchase item Y instead".

Do you know that, or do you suspect that?

> how many miles are driven where AP/FSD would refuse to engage

I've used FSD for the vast majority of the nearly 40k miles on my 2017 Tesla model S. Highways, boulevards, side streets, even dirt roads on occasion.

It's a powerful but subtle tool. Used correctly, I have absolutely no doubt that has made my driving experience safer and less stressful.

It definitely requires an engaged, alert driver.

Where I suspect you and I agree is the impact of Musk's language and claims around the technology.

If he would fully shut the hell up about it, I think it's quite likely that there would be way less ill will toward the product.
I suppose you could use a <foreignObject> for that.

This all sounds intuitively correct, and it seems that similar arguments can be made about gold bullion, right? It costs some amount of money every year to mine, refine, transport and store it, and none of that is accruing to the actual holders of bullion. (One difference being that there is some residual value of the gold for industrial and jewellery uses, but that's hardly what's keeping the bullion price where it is).
Seems like you should be able to lock your title just like domain names.
Stenography is weird though. They are typing sounds not words, presumably because there's no opportunity to fully hear, understand, and transcribe words... to be that fast you actually have to cut out comprehension. It's interesting but doesn't feel translatable.
It’s pathetic because you’re just writing nonsense and can’t even describe anything practically productive about crypto. None.

By the way, I could ALSO write you 10,000 word salad about how commonly found stones can solve the wrongs in modern finance. That doesn’t say anything about common stones. It just says modern finance is FLAWED.
The US and China having a great power conflict - which will last for many decades, or longer - is not based on racism. The US conflicting with the USSR throughout the Cold War was also was not about racism.

It would be exceptionally irrational for the US to utilize the telecom equipment of a quasi enemy nation that is all but guaranteed to be a future enemy. It doesn't matter whether anyone likes those terms or not, that's how the US Government is increasingly viewing China - and vice versa - and that's what is coming.
I worked at a business-software company that was building a prototype in Visual Basic, while a team of C++ coders was building the "production" version in Visual C++.

At that time ('90s), the VBX controls across those two environments didn't have parity, but the C++ programmers turned up their noses and scoffed at using VB to build what was little more than a CRUD app. They struggled to implement what was easily accomplished in VB.

The entire snobby C++ team was fired, and the prototype was finished by a few people and some contractors and released as the product.
I agree with this sentiment. HN lately has often seemed a reactionary cesspool where anything and everything is scrutinized based on the headline alone. The vast majority of highly upvoted comments are always negative critiques in this regard, with few comments coming from people who may have actually clicked the link. This holds true of Show HN's, Launch HN's, or anything else about anything.
None typically. I don’t think anyone has made the connection, publicly anyways, since I’ve started using it.
Also, not quite correct.

Bitcoin isn't figuratively a store of value, it actually is. The amount of bitcoin on DeFi, backing collateral for flash loans and Stablecoin minting is astounding.

>When you own a share of Square (or Visa, or PayPal) each time a transaction takes place on their network, a portion of that transaction (revenue minus costs) accrues to the company - and by extension increases the intrinsic value of your share.

All the V3 crypto protocols have exactly as you describe above. However, instead of the money going into the coffers of the company, it goes into a 'Development fund' That will award the crypto to people who have applied and been voted on by the community to launch a project/technology in the protocol.

Yeah, the first thing that came to mind was that one valet who claimed that it was not his fault, but the autopilot that made him accelerate heavily and crash inside a parking garage.[0]

People called out bs on it instantly, as it would make no sense for autopilot to suddenly accelerate inside a garage until the crash, but the driver defended himself to death.

Only for the formal investigation to happen and confirm that the driver did it himself by fully pressing on the acceleration pedal instead of the braking pedal without any autopilot engagement, and was just trying to shift blame. And no, it wasn't just Tesla's legal team claiming that. The guy went to a third-party service that could decode the blackbox data from the car (again, that was his own technician, not requested by Tesla or anything), and the evidence clearly showed that the driver pressed the accelerator full-on. The raw log that is relevant to the situation is included in the link as well, in case someone wants to see it with their eyes.

Almost every single article I've seen that features bizarre accidents like this ended up being bs, and I am seeing the "accidentally pushed the accelerator instead of the braking pedal" vibes here as well. Will be eagerly awaiting for the results of the investigation before I make my own judgement though. Note: I am not claiming that autopilot is infallible, and there were indeed some legitimate incidents a while ago. But this specific one in the OP? Yeah, I call bs.

It also helps that NHTSA has already investigated such claims before[1], so they looked into hundreds of cases that were claiming Autopilot suddenly accelerating and causing crashes, and they discovered that not a single one happened due to autopilot, but due to the driver misapplying acceleration and braking pedal. Direct quote from their investigation summary (emphasis mine):

>After reviewing the available data, ODI has not identified evidence that would support opening a defect investigation into SUA in the subject vehicles. In every instance in which event data was available for review by ODI, the evidence shows that SUA crashes in the complaints cited by the petitioner have been caused by pedal misapplication. There is no evidence of any fault in the accelerator pedal assemblies, motor control systems, or brake systems that has contributed to any of the cited incidents. There is no evidence of a design factor contributing to increased likelihood of pedal misapplication.

Really interesting, a very similar case has recently been reported in Berlin, Germany [1]. Here the fraudsters tried to get legal ownership of a whole apartment building in Berlin. It seems they nearly made it, but then some insurance company sent a letter to the actual owners who could successfully blocked the transaction from committing.

Yes, the USD is backed by the most absurd proof of violence the world has ever seen. No organization of human civilization has ever been able to summon as much death and despair as the United States.

However, most of the ability of the United States to execute such power is centralized in Washington D.C. and New England. Centralization brings immense efficiency, but also vulnerability. Those geographic regions are a potential target that takes a lot of energy to defend. Why do you think the 9/11 terrorists chose New York and D.C.?

Meanwhile, China just fully outlawed cryptocurrency and mining, and it was a minor hiccup in the network. Bitcoin's hash rate as already recovered. The price has doubled. It's stronger than it's ever been.

That's what makes bitcoin such a potentially powerful store of value. It's security mechanism is incredibly anti-fragile. There's no throat anyone can choke. It's also globally available and permissionless, so it accepts everyone and anyone without judgement. These traits are powerful, in a different way than the power that backs the USD.

That's why bitcoin matters.
Heh yeah, it was weird. We were all fine, but it was weird. A good reminder that appearance is an unreliable indicator of safety, even if in this case the appearance was a false positive.

> I think your request for sources is quite unreasonable

So the HN guidelines [0] for keeping the discussion substantive is somewhat 'unreasonable' when talking about something controversial like cryptocurrencies which even the commenter knew their long reply was unfounded? [1]

I am simply keeping the discussion substantiative.

As for the source you provided, it's now substantiates the observation claim I am asking for. It answers the first request for evidence but not the second one and this paper primarily focuses on only two PoW cryptocurrencies but doesn't target 'all' of the others in general which would which make case if every single cryptocurrency have the same energy inefficiencies as the two cryptocurrencies mentioned in the article, which is what I am also looking for.

One commenter gave an alternative cryptocurrency [2] that wasn't mentioned in the paper which aims to be energy efficient and addresses the other commenter's response even when they failed to answer my question by replying with another question. [3].

Given that one mention of the existence of an energy efficient cryptocurrency, what evidence exists that 'all of them' are harmful to the environment?

The "adult" cereals have the same advantages, with a lot less sugar.

My parents would only buy the relatively plain ones -- Weetabix, Shredded Wheat and so on.

The first time we went to the USA I was 12. We bought colourful cereal for the novelty of it, but the next morning I could barely eat it. It was insanely sweet! (Presumably with HFCS, which I wouldn't have experienced before.) Unsurprisingly, there was no pressure from my parents to finish the bowl, or the rest of the box.
