Straying off-topic with your example, there may be fewer trees in the square now (though I think it only seems that way because they're less mature and all the cars are gone). That's a valid criticism. However, I don't see how you can call the change "overly optimistic" unless you were a die-hard fan of driving an automobile through there. Especially when you take into account the accompanying change to Boulevard Anspach. It's not ostensibly more inviting for pedestrians, it's definitively so.
The answer appears to be in the ? help guide.
Ro Khanna: The Digital Revolution Can’t Be Confined to Silicon Valley
It’s not suboptimal for the shipbuilders, or any of the thousands of people and hundreds of associated companies all the way down the supply chain.

The fact that the end product happens to be a yacht is largely irrelevant to the economic impact and value of this investment.

There very well will be hundreds of key innovations and significant investments in R&D, materials science, construction techniques, etc. that stem from the investment made into building this product.

The more money Bezos spends the better, and I’m personally glad he’s spending some of it on projects like this. Just because it’s privately owned doesn’t make it any less a of an incredible feat of engineering and accomplishment of human ingenuity.

It will also employ hundreds if not thousands of people for years into the future (maintenance is much more expensive than the initial build).
That's how I approached Gravity's Rainbow, but I still couldn't get through it.
It really lifts the veil on how little research goes into some of these articles when you see the reporting on a topic you have closely followed.

>The stock, which peaked at $482.95 a share when hedge funds that had shorted GameStop were forced to buy at any price, has come back to earth. But it is still at about $112 a share, compared to less than $20 on Jan. 1, 2021.

This is a pretty basic error to make when the SEC investigated and even put out a report showing that the majority of that price movement was from non-short sellers (e.g. retail) and that as a proportion of volume, barely any of it was due to short sellers closing their positions.

The article also completely glossed over the fact that DFV was made fun of and derrided for taking such a large risk in GME. Especially when it was down (for a majority of the time since he started posting that position, if I recall corrected). It instead portrays him as making "consistent returns" and starting a movement to influence the price.

Hi HN!

We are developing a new search engine powered by machine learning to filter web content.

The beta of our platform has just been released. Anyone can contribute by training our search engine, own tokens and use them to add content to the platform.

The search engine still makes a lot of mistakes but it is getting better everyday thanks to contributors.

Don't hesitate to add your own projects!

Hoping to get some feedback!
Totally agree. A backup camera actually has utility. I like the blind spot warning system quite a bit too.

Most everything else is just technological kitsch. This isn't that new though.

Stereo systems have had equalizers forever even though almost everyone is just going to make already mastered audio sound worse by filtering it. That is not the point really of an equalizer. It is just to have a series of useless controls that will never be used but looks cool when you first see it. Pure technological kitsch.
> There might be some people, important to Bezos's business that care about where they meet with him. Bezos wants it to be a yatch.

> He might be a money-flashing, wealth-displaying rich asshole. But I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

So you're willing to to give him the benefit of the doubt that there's a chance he needs to impress other wealth-displaying rich assholes like your friend's colleagues? This is almost a worse reason than him just wanting the absurd boat in the first place.
Can someone summarise what exactly makes a yacht cost so much? Solid gold taps everywhere? A similarly sized luxurious house would be a fraction of this (and yes appreciate it has to float and has engines and such, but similar yachts are vastly cheaper).
That interpretation is unclear from that source. It's at least equally likely that a feature to tamp down on rebroadcast of sporting events and such has fouled broadcast of protests.

Regardless of cause though, it would make YouTube a worse platform for live citizen journalism.
Agreed, just so long as Bezos paid for the deconstruction and reconstruction of the bridge along with any associated effects from the bridge being out of commission for a time.
> will probably use taxpayer money instead of billing the shipbuilder for it?

No, Bezos is paying for it.
They knew the issue when they got the order. They probably ran it by the city informally then. Anyone routinely engaged in this kind of heavy industry is going to have an understanding of the city's disposition to these sorts of things and know who they need to run these things by. Now that all the details have been tentatively agreed on they're formally asking.

Alternatively, it may have been a case of "if we get permission great, if we don't then we'll install the masts elsewhere for an extra several mil."
Skeptic's take is always appreciated!

- They do. There's definitely overlap there although because groups are often centred around a topic (school, work, hobby), it's generally not the place to share things that aren't directly concerning the group/people in the group. Eg. I want to a great building I've just visited, I'm generally not going to share it to the group chat for my class in my masters, but I would like certain people to see about it. Circles here are closer to a broadcast list.

- Somewhat true, I think there are many points of failure in that case study. Our hypothesis is that by making a social network function entirely through circles, people will have a much more enriching and intimate experience. This has been proven true with current users, despite it not being for everyone.

- Noted. Thanks for this.
This led me to pinboard.in, thanks for that.
Hopefully the deletion includes both backups and any ML models trained on that data.
When you say accidents you mean where the robo car erred? Asking because ofc it's possible to get into an accident where you are not at fault and I think this would also be true of robocar
Both, which I think is part of the problem. They’re splitting engineering effort between Office 2003 style, Office 2007 (ish) style, and Office Online style UIs. They probably have less engineering resources than Microsoft Office and it shows.
Unless I'm mistaken, your Google Workspace also include your personal Gmail account, because, you know, it's a "Workspace".

Back to your point, let's keeps the mailbox example. I currently have 7470 unread notification emails from github in a folder in my work inbox. Let's say I was looking for some team invite email from a few months ago. Unless I remember the team, the date or the wording in github's email, everything I'll get will basically under a ton of gargabe email about comments people made in PRs. It's quite useless to remind me of previous search queries if they didn't get the feedback when I found the email I was looking for. Moreover, even if they managed to find back the team invite in that pile, have validated my goal and saved the query<=>result association, I went there for a specific purpose that may/should be completed by now. Giving useless hints is worse than giving me nothing.
Is it reasonable to assume AV will be lower-cost than rideshare? The key thing that makes Uber more affordable than a taxi is that vehicle purchase/maintenance/depreciation/liability are all externalised.

In a full-self-driving situation you no longer have to pay your driver, but you do have to pay for all of the above. With the inevitably higher standards of maintenance required for AV fleet vehicles I can't really imagine it being cheaper than it currently is.

Sure the sensor/cv/vision tech will get cheaper, but machines still wear down.
I have no doubt this will be proclaimed to have “worked!” on a small scale. But this is not engineering, this is society, and society scales much differently.
> Without knowing what was collected how can they prove it was deleted?

They don't need to know what data was collected. GDPR requires you to track all data and mark where you got it from, so the companies are legally required to track this for you, they should already have a switch where they can delete this data at the notice of the user, so they should have no problems honouring such a request from the government.

The government don't know if the data was deleted, but a user will know if a company has data the user didn't agree to give to the company, in which case that company is violating GDPR regardless how they got that data. That wont always come up, but if it does the government will go after those companies.
> Users who have Google Workspace search history enabled —and perform searches in Google Workspace apps like Gmail and Drive— will see their search history shown as suggestions before or as they type their searches in these products. These apps will show a message letting users know that search history is enabled.

> In addition to the new Google Workspace search history setting, the end user Web & App Activity setting will continue to exist. However, Web & App Activity will control storage of search data from Additional Google services only, and will remain disabled by default for new users.

I’m failing to understand the problem? This just means that users will be able to see their search history for Workspace apps and will continue to NOT see history for consumer apps.
It seems like you can disable it, it'll just be a different button.
Haha will do

Hey, too rich for my blood
> Advertising companies are ruining the internet for everyone, some people are just too unaware to realise it.

Sounds like projection. Though I'd agree that most internet users don't like ads, what's true is that most internet users don't like paying for things. Using YouTube as an example, the most popular site on the internet, the vast majority of people do not pay for YouTube premium even though it's available.

At the end of the day no one is stopping you from going back to circa-2000s internet, using IRC, going on plain text websites, using BBS, etc.
There are a multitude of other options. Hell, WhatsApp with encryption turned on would be better option.
This is perhaps a somewhat unpopular opinion, but I'm always pleased when I hear ultra-rich people spending exorbitant amounts of money on something.

Without going into the discussion of whether or not people should be able to accumulate huge fortunes in the first place, given the fact that they exist, such spending means that they are putting huge sums of money back into the hands of "the people": In exchange for this boat, Bezos is moving 500M$ from his bank account to the bank accounts of many, many people working on it directly and indirectly thus moving the pendulum a tiny bit towards financial equality. Considering that the real-world alternative was for him to not have done this, remain under the radar, and keep 500M laying around, I think this is the better option.
I wonder how much of that was driven by the silicon valley VC culture. You won't get funding if you don't show growth and "innovation", which means catering to all kinds of users resulting into a bloated product with lots of bells and whistles.
Democracies certainly could increase tax rates and Bezos would most likely have started Amazon somewhere else.

And no, glass makers and hail aren’t comparable. You need to bone up on your economics and the broken window fallacy.
What you are asking for is already widely available: network television. I don't see how it is a good thing that Google has adopted more and more of the negative aspects of the old system, but they certainly have been busy doing so for the last few years.

You know a very good way to control what is and is not part of the public discourse? Allow only those with a lot to lose the privilege of speaking. Those creators with skin in the game will think twice about saying something that the "platform" doesn't like, and it isn't even censorship - it is self imposed, so nobody can complain about it.
Who even "gets content" through searching? I'm sure many people here are all basically using the internet through link aggregators (reddit, fb, HN etc).

Has the web ever been much beyond that? Have people ever really been just hitting "give me a random web page about X"?

Of course search engines are very useful, just that these conversations about content and "the web", I feel like there's not much focus on how so much traffic is guided through link aggregation.
We own licenses for our developers too, and plan on buying more. Please, please, please, don't screw us over and change course later on. We really like Paw, and not being based on Electron is the major selling point :)
It’s common for “ambiguous search terms” similar to “python database”.

I’d bet that an experienced ddg user might have workarounds for this kind of thing. I’ve certainly found adding a few extra terms gives me what I need.
On a sidenote, has Blue Origin gone quiet since Bezos was in space? Was that the goal, to get him into semi-space, now they can shut down?
I check the GameStop subreddits every once in a while out of morbid curiosity. The content has become a cross between pump spam and conspiracy theories. It’s hard to tell, but I think the masses of GameStop believers aren’t even interested in the dump portion of the pump-and-dump scheme because all of the smart money exited the trade a while ago. Everyone left is convinced that they’re either performing some sort of activism and/or about to become unbelievably wealthy when their conspiracy theories come true and the stock price is forced into the millions.

The “mother of all short squeezes” theory has been debunked over and over again, but the initial price action due to the media frenzy has convinced a lot of people that there’s something else going on. Any information that contradicts the theory is not welcome in their Reddit bubbles, but any “DD” that supports the theory is upvoted rapidly. It was interesting to watch at first, but it’s becoming increasingly depressing as it becomes clear how many people have put too much of their own money into this pump scheme turned conspiracy theory.
Yes, I took the picture of Avegant used in the article. The Avegant and Dispelix waveguide combination looks pretty good. It is only a prototype without any tracking/slam. It is a display only demonstration by a component company.

I was impressed by the size of the Avegant engine and the transparency and lack of forward projection by the Dispelix prototype. They are claiming they will get 2,000 nits to the eye out of the design which should be good enough for outdoor use IF they have some form of clip-on sunglasses (2,000 nits is not enough for outdoors in full sunlight without some help).

The current Avegant engine has an optical component in that was depolarizing the light from the LCOS display and losing contrast so they wanted me to wait to take through the lens pictures. The image from the current prototype looked sharp but did lack contrast.

just because you can't write code to handle it doesn't mean a human can't. thousands and thousands of people drive in rain, sleet, snow and hail daily and do it just fine.

500m dollar yacht seems like a good place to start, we can work our way back from there.
We gave him our time(money), by buying from Amazon instead of the local Mom and Pop.
I wonder how often a person tagged as a "smart person" by our personal neural network turns out to be not true?
r/wallstreetbets is still riding high on the idea they can do it again with another stock and/or that there's still a squeeze just waiting to happen and people holding GME aren't bag holding.
Yes, and generating those unions from a const array gives you even further flexibility with runtime access: `const myStrArray = ["a", "b", "c"] as const; type MyStrType = typeof myStrArray[number];`
The yacht itself may be suboptimal, but for all the skilled tradesmen who built the ship, and the dozens of people who will operate it, it is what makes the economy work.
If blender is so great why can I jump between many different 3D programs without much friction, why was I able to learn other 3D apps a long the way without much friction? I have been trying to use Blender since at least 2003 and each time it refused to stick and was happy to stop using it. Sure it does everything but excels at nothing.

This axiomatic approach about the law has a clever solution: just make it legal for cars to disobey stop signs and then problem solved.
Not working on iPhone or iMac M1… not impressed by that..
If you live in the US as I do: yes, they are. I traveled to Germany and Belgium shortly before COVID, and the pop-ups were everywhere, even on sites that I know didn't have them back home.

Anyway, I'd prefer if we had privacy laws like this in the US too.
It's an interesting idea which I'm not ready to outright dismiss, but I think we have some evidence that it cannot be completely true. There are universal laws of physics that have given shape to this reality which are not a result of conscious effort to conjure into existence. Look to things like germ theory causing illness well before anyone was consciously aware that it was a thing. Doctors were outright offended at the idea that they could in part be causing patient illness through unsanitary conditions.

Still, I've been reading stories like some of those mentioned in this thread (ie: mandala effects) for years which really does make me wonder.

I think my view of it tends to be that it's not that we're consciously creating or altering reality merely by having specific thoughts or through some type of force of will, but rather that the things we focus on tend to be shaped by that focus, because the focus and attention manifests in physical actions taken by us where we explore, discover, and build things related to that particular rabbit hole.

It's how I've started thinking about the personal projects I work on. The quality of what I produce is a function of the quality of the initial idea + how much focus and attention I give to it.

So on an individual level, if I continually have thoughts about a certain subject, these thoughts are likely to manifest in me taking actions which materially changes the universe. For example, I might be overweight and have thoughts about losing the weight, which might eventually lead to diet and exercise.

On a more macro scale, I think if people are continually exposed to something they acclimate towards it. It becomes more acceptable. They might start to change their world views. So what enters into the consensus of collective consciousness (ie: large groups of people agreeing on, or at least focusing on a particular subject), it's people being continually pushed narratives and propaganda, as well as everyone being subject to the same laws of physics. For example, Trump either is or isn't a liar depending on the media sources you typically listen to. Another example would be climate change entering the masses consciousness and now (slowly) action being taken to combat it.

This collective belief, similar to the losing weight example on an individual level, leads to collective action on a macro level. The universe bends to our will, but only if we are conscious enough to manifest that will. Until then we're just automatica burning the planet.
> ...starting a new city...

Curious what you mean here, and how it relates to collective action?
> Don't complain about what others do, when thats how you get paid. Get your house in order first.

Are you saying the people who write articles for the New York Times should muzzle themselves in many topic areas, so as to not be seen as being critical of anything the corporation they work may do?
Coincidentally I just started reading.

I was surprised when reading a letter to the publisher tucked in the opening pages. The author complains about a ban in the United States and resulting copyright issues once the ban was lifted. The requirements to obtain a copyright were virtually impossible given the circumstances of the ban, and this opened the door for thieves to sell illicit copies.
The world is probably full of things that shouldn't exist by that standard. Do we "need" all the big cathedrals, pyramids, temples, expensive to make works of art to name a few?
they shouldn't have moved the company to silicon valley
This place would've been looking for another super yacht contract if Bezos didn't come around. It's not like Bezos caused this city to develop yachts, they built this industry there themselves and they need clients.

Bezos is paying for the bridge, not the city.

It seems unrealistic long term for any company to maintain one native app and an electron app across other platforms. Spotify did this for a while, but they eventually forced everyone onto the electron app. Something to keep in mind.
Has anyone with Apple silicon given this a shot? I notice with this release they’re offering native support. I’m planning to give it a spin but I’m curious what others have noticed in converting from MS.
