> I think the irony would be less dramatic if the free software wasn't running on hardware constructed with slave labor.

Why do you feel the need to direct criticism of Apple's business practices at me? I do not work for Apple.

> but people's worries about the conflict of interests here is fully justified.

Then don't buy the machines and move on with your life?

> Apple and open source are not friends

Neither are they enemies. The world isn't binary. I do not exclude from my life everything that is related to everyone who isn't explicitly my friend, do you?

> their ultimate goal is to stomp you out and expand control

Ah yes, stomp us out by... building machines we can use to run our own OS? They could've just not done that and we wouldn't exist.

> just don't be surprised when your blood, sweat and tears ultimately end up being used to grease the gears of their production line.

So which is, are they going to stomp us out or are they going to embrace the extra business we bring? You can't have it both ways, you know.

> We're talking about a trillion-dollar company that doesn't release their own device drivers or schematics; it's ridiculous that we even need to finish the job for them in the first place.

I find it fun finishing the job for them. This is exactly the kind of project I enjoy doing. If you don't, then choose a different free software to contribute to.

> It's hard to see this work as "noble" in the same way other free software projects are, at least to me.

So our project is inherently morally inferior to others because you simultaneously think Apple should've done the work for us and Apple are our enemies. ????????

Seriously, this makes no sense. You know Linux itself started out as a hobby OS with no corporate backing and tons of other drivers are reverse engineered, right? Do you also think Nouveau isn't noble? What about LineageOS? What about XBMC/Kodi when it started? Freedreno, Panfrost, and friends? All of those projects are or were about bringing free software to devices designed and manufactured by giant corporations without any support.

Heck, I got sued by a multinational for bringing Linux back to the PS3, and I still don't regret it. That work got upstreamed, by the way.
I do this for less than 10% of the articles I read. For those I can always go back to the computer and do it. Same goes for filing the article on my knowledgebase etc
It's sort of the inverse. If you're treated either way, then the vaccine is unnecessary. There are risks, even if rare, associated with vaccines. Basically, there's no value added and a very slight increase of risks.

Interesting read. I personally don’t play golf but I think the most difficult problems I face in my technical career are people based not technical based. I’ll figure out the right algorithm and I can test and validate and tweak until it’s just right. Convincing someone that this change is needed and to use it is a completely different beast.

Students on cycle sharing roads with industrial trailers, leaky electric poles, light poles, I have had several near death incidents including falling off of a crowded bus.

Some of this lack of empathy is global especially if it is not your problem, there is nothing evil but few greedy people who thought they could get away with cutting corners but got caught with their pants down.

It is good, hopefully something good will come out of it. I am sure the conditions will improve once it is brought to light.

I was also trying to make the point that we get much worse services from the government and we have no way to provide feedback, especially if it is the fault of bureaucrats (safe permanent job with a fat pension) and we do not vote for bureaucrats.
Another good example from the game industry is Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. The developers there seem to be completely tone deaf to the issues that the gamers and streamers have brought up these past few years. They claim to look at the data to make decisions but they seem to only optimize for maximizing income instead of improving gameplay issues so that people don't get frustrated. Or they're measuring the wrong things. It's a short term strategy that hasn't really paid off judging by the decline in player count.
The higher the inertia and momentum - the easier it is to predict routing conflict. A system could warn at -30 min, alarm at -25 and steer + slow down if nobody acknowledges the alarm.

Absolute gold!
Intelligence has a pretty well established definition, the one you quote is fine, "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills." I would say that, if one is really intelligent, one acquires and applies knowledge of oneself and the skills to change habits and behaviours. That's the "self-referential" stage of intelligence.

Wisdom, on the other hand, is much harder to define. The definition you quoted is circular, as are almost all dictionary definitions of "wisdom". I've heard it said "A fool never learns, a man learns from his mistakes, the wise man learns from the mistakes of others."
Some would say that wisdom comes from loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself.
You say that they are different and that I'm "confusing intelligence with wisdom", but I say that wisdom and intelligence are on the same spectrum or continuum, that the former is the refinement and maturity of the latter.

In any event, my original point is that proponents of eugenics are not as intelligent as they think they are.
No, because there is a difference between “being displayed by default” and “explicitly forbidden from being viewed”. It’s closer to requesting information, and in response being handed a bunch of material, some of which is in a stack of papers and some of which is enclosed in an unsealed, unmarked envelope. It isn’t displayed by default, but it’s there, and with the most minimal of effort it’s viewable, there is nothing explaining it shouldn’t be viewed, and it’s not absurd to assume that if it was included in the bundle of information you received in response to a question, it’s fine to view.

The onus is on the person providing the information to not include it in what they provide, not the viewer to not look at information provided.
> Sugary, salty and fatty foods are consistently rated by typical people as more tasty than foods without them. Hence, all fast-food restaurants load their foods up with those elements instead of more expensive flavourings such as herbs and spices.

I love this one. Want to convince someone with an unsophisticated palette that you are the greatest chef in history? Just start loading everything you make with butter and sugar. Salty and sweet === good to most people.
>I think readers with kneejerk reactions to the tune of "theyve gone downhill / woke / bs" are maybe missing the point?

No it doesn't seem that way. Postmodern crowd has been calling evolutionary biologists/psychologists "problematic"/racist/whatever for decades. It's one of the main narratives of the original "culture wars" in the 80's/90's. The "problem" is postmodernists see humans as purely social constructions and any other narratives on human nature as power plays. This is not an integrative "yes and" perspective but the usual dismissal through "deconstruction" you see used by this crowd.
Unlike the Fyre festival or an unfinished video game, Teslas already exist. You can see them driving down the road. Maybe you know someone who owns one and can ask them about it. Even if you don't, there's no shortage of reviews and videos of actual Teslas made by people who don't work for Tesla.

By this point, you should know more or less what you're getting if you buy a Tesla, so that demand is presumably based on the actual product and not just the idea.
I sometimes hang out on mountainbike forums.

A user posts that despite a new chain and setting up their rear derailleur according to instructions gear-changes are clunky or the chain skips when applying power on the pedals.

The usual reply from the forum members is then to send a photo of the cassette since excessive wear there leads to these problems.

This used to clearly show that the user needed to replace their worn cassette too.

Lately these photos of cassettes can look all mangled. Like ML tried to “enhance” mountains or the back of an alligator or some other structure from nature on to the cassette.

This has to be a problem in all sorts of technical trouble-shooting.

The 100 Greatest Innovations of 2021
> It might help to think about the idea that the "little" players here are the public

That was exactly who I was thinking about when I made my statement.

> Disney is the one who is winning right now, both in terms of me "as a content creator" and me "as a member of the public".

I agree. However the proposal made by the OP would only worsen the control that companies the size of Disney have while making it harder for individuals like ourselves to defend our own creative content.

So if you’re a contend creator (as I am too) then you really should oppose the suggestion made by the OP.

What you need to remember is that while copyright reform is needed - so badly needed - it doesn’t automatically make every possible suggestion better. In fact some of the suggestions that have been floated on HN are a lot worse than the status quo (and that’s saying something given how bad it already is).

But then I shouldn’t be surprised that a forum built around VC has members who think copyright can be “solved” simply by asking creators to throw more money at the problem…
As software's been eating the world, I've started to feel like we're losing out on the benefits of paper, in both personal and business settings:

* Fairly durable
* A security violation requires physical access to the paper storage
* Flexibility - you can take a pen and draw anywhere on paper - and it will make sense to other readers without having to write custom software
* Flexibility 2 - you can organize bits of paper any way you like

Having had my identity compromised through third parties (Premera, Experian), the security aspects are particularly compelling.

It also feels like a lot of the business innovation credited to software could have been possible using paper systems, e.g. reading about the Toyota Production System, it seemed more about process innovation than anything to do with software.
You shouldn't completely rely on the code you put out into the world in devices remaining secret. A sufficiently capable adversary will likely eventually get your data.

Whether you're talking about a $0.30 MCU with the lock e-fuse programmed, or a several-hundred-dollar (or more) SoC with triple-redundant power-management/security cores booting using unit-unique payload decryption keys burned into security fuses, the adversary might be able to get what you're trying to protect.

How paranoid you want to be about readout protection will vary depending on your goals. If you want to do a decent job blocking reverse engineering of a product to impeded clones being produced, the lock bit might do the trick.
This recall, as a percentage of the amount of vehicles that Tesla has ever sold, is significantly larger than the comparable percentages of other manufacturers' recalls.
The recall is not specifically for vehicles with broken backup cameras. It is to deal with cars that have working cameras, but contain a flaw wherein closing the trunk could damage the cable and cause the backup camera to cease working. So TL;DR this should be fixed ASAP (hence the recall) but presumably those cars with currently-working cameras are perfectly safe to drive until then. The Model S hood issue, on the other hand, that’s more serious.
You guys are conflating 'adjusting light levels and sharness' with 'replacing whole objects in one area of scene with other objects from the scene'

I think this particular big demonstrates a massive gap in what people think photoprocessing is, and what it has very recently become
Yes, bit flips are quite rare already, in the grand scale of things. So a bit flip that causes that specific behaviour is exponentially rarer.

And you have to prove that there actually is one bit that, when changed, causes faces to be replaced by background objects, in this case leaves.
Another way to look at this is that 2^ 33 is about 8.5 billion

>>> pow(2, 33)
8589934592

There are less than 8.5 billion people in the world, so you could just create a map from each person to a number in the set.

> I cannot find LED lamps in 5000 k color. They are all 6500 k. I’m are fairly sure moving back to a 5000k lamp color would fix the issue for most.

The temperature isn't the issue, it's the brightness and incorrect angle. When 99% of consumers simply shove a LED into where the Halogen bulb was, not only is it 3x brighter as a result of LEDs being more efficient, it is another 3x brighter, because the diffuser was never designed for a LED-like light source.

I personally still drive with old halogen lights. Whenever a more recently manufactured vehicle comes up behind me, their lights usually completely flood the road, to the point that I'm not even sure I have my headlights on.

They could be 50 feet behind me, and their lights are BRIGHTER than both of my lights. This is insane. I'm not sure why this isn't being legislated out of existence ASAP. I guess I'll have to start wearing sunglasses for nighttime driving.
That's not true. You're not considering different virtual addresses backed by the same pages.

Yes, the loader will create file-backed memory mappings and not redundantly store read-only parts. However, it is free to load it at a different address in each process. This can happen via ASLR, or if the mapping is already claimed by the time the module loads.

They may get the same base address repeatedly in multiple processes and work most of the time, but it's not guaranteed.

Cathy Wood likes her star status on Reddit and Twitter for a bull call on Tesla. But if you actually look at her performance it's pretty poor and that's including the large gain of Tesla ( 56% ), probably her largest holding.

Only 2 of 7 have made a profit this year ( https://ark-funds.com/ )

Only 2 of 9 if you include the 2 new ones that didn't exist since January.

So... That's that... Making losses in a serious bull year. That's hard to do.

Let's not forgot. That's the person that said ARK invest was the wish of God she is fulfilling, ugh ( podcast: Jesus calling)
There are two hood latches, like all cars. This recall affects one of them. 0 known incidents. Definitely ought to have a recall.

Receiving is a serious bottleneck.

The perimeter of a building is limited, with the number of docks growing as the square root of the floorspace. All else being equal, your I/O scales worse than your interior production capacity. This is one of the limits on the maximum size of a facility. Speeding up I/O flow is really good because you can’t parallelize it as much as other work.

This robot is not super fast, but (assuming it works well) it is relentless. They'll get faster and better.
Check out the Audi etron GT. Its built on the same platform as the Taycan, but much sexier and also cheaper.
Yes, that's correct. The slow release makes a big difference for a lot of people compared to traditional Adderall/Ritalin
OK sure but the distribution of natural images is highly redundant ie pixels are not independent and there is structure to exploit. It's not magic obviously but done properly it's a pretty reasonable thing
Thanks for the little trip back into my childhood years! first time I played this game was on an old Windows 95 back in January 2001, indeed a long time ago. . .

I played the game 10 years ago in an DOS emulator and while the feeling was a bit different (details hereafter), the graphics are spot on.

About the mechanics, the kid shouldn't get killed instantly while beginning to run over an already triggered pike. furthermore, there is a a bug in level 4 where the game freezes while attempting a jump over the gap that takes us to the mirror room. Also the fat guard on level 5 seems to be less reactive than in the original game. I'm saying that because the level 8 guard is still as annoying as in the original game if not more :D

Maybe I'm rusted but I ran out of time at level 8

I wonder if they adjusted for, or should have adjusted for, the "triple copy just to be sure" action that some people perform. Maybe the triple copy also has a correlation with user age and reputation.

I'm finding it increasingly hard to take photographs of unusual light in the sky, because the phone camera keeps trying to normalize it to something it's seen before (i.e. something which matches its tuning and machine learning models), whether it's auto white balance or other computational trickery.
Thanks! Doing ok, just wish I wore my PPE from the beginning lol!! I really underestimated the speeds. I have rode regular skateboards a ton so guess I was cocky.

Interesting tidbit about the onewheel. I always thought it was a sensor/user issue but what you describe does sound inherent with the design. I'd think at some point you could just level it out and maintain speed, or leaning in further just doesn't do anything other than alter your pitch. What your describing is that constant speed (0 acceleration) isn't really a possibility which sounds odd.
Simply adjusting light levels and sharpness wouldn't produce this good/clear of a photo in the conditions presented - AI/ML image post-processing is a hard requirement for sensors like these.

Pedestrians are always oblivious.
Human nature. Humans like to collect things, and if you feel like you own a limited edition of something, you will be more inclined to purchase it. DVDs were a cash cow for the movie industry, in a way that streaming (including the ability to buy on digital services) is not.

I don’t necessarily think it’s logical to collect DVDs, toys, concert merchandise, or NFTs, but if humanity appears to enjoy it, and it thus creates a sizeable revenue stream for artists, what is the harm?

Your way is logical, but will in fact not have the same result.

Better algorithms and hardware? Also, no one has ever trained anything on "all the natural language which exists on the internet". Only a small (curated) fraction of that is captured in datasets. 45TB of text data was used to train GPT-3.
