Terry Fox sure as fuck would not support the protest and like the vast majority of Canadians would despise anti-mask/anti-vax lunatics, white supremacist shitheels, and the assholes who are blaring their horns in people’s neighbourhoods for days on end, as poll after poll has shown.

Canadians on the whole found it really disgraceful to drape the Fox memorial in political slogans. Suck it up, buttercup: it was the wrong thing to do.

Asyncio is weird. But check out Trio, an alternative and easier-to-understand async framework: https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html

Trio solves a problem that threading does not: switching between tasks only happens at deterministic points (they don't run in parallel), and tasks are in a hierarchy so that exceptions are handled in reasonable ways (and you can do a lot of other associated cool things like cancel an entire tree of tasks).

Python has a GIL, so you're not getting parallel Python code anyway without multiprocessing.

This means that if I'm writing code that implements, like, a basic network server, by far the easiest way to do it is Trio. Unlike with threading (in Python or any other language) I don't have to worry about locks from concurrent access / tasks switching at unexpected points, and unlike with e.g. the select module, handling both directions of communication and multiple connections is doable with normal straight-line code instead of weird state machines.

It's not needed, yes, but neither is Python itself. You could just write C.

> Once he had these marvelous tools he found nails everywhere.

He also found two presidents and a sycophantic media that hung on his every word.

His figures were excellent. In the earliest days of Vietnam, long before anyone outside of Asia could find it on a map, he produced eerily precise predictions of the costs -- in lives, dollars and time -- of the future conflict. He told them what a civil war in the jungle would look like and they pulled the trigger.

As far as the value of measurement goes; I think most of the low hanging fruit has been picked (a consequence of the "Information Age") and what we struggle to 'measure' today is far less tractable. As a result our measurements are frequently corrupted in the service of prevailing agendas or not permitted at all for fear of undesirable results.

> Even if literally every other automaker uses CCS, wouldn't Tesla's connector still have more market share?

That will change overnight in a few years as more manufacturers offer EVs.

That's twice (lawfull) evil. It's like the smaller companies are little sacrifices to warm up the summoning.
Democratic socialism seems to be the label for the best mix of elements we've founds so far.

"Capitalism" doesn't mean "anything to do with markets", and tells you exactly who it's for right there in the name. Capitalism vs. not letting free markets exist to any substantial degree, is a false choice. Relying on that label as if approaches that aren't at least pretty close to what the US does are all diametrically opposed to capitalism and necessarily share nothing with it, is a way to end up arguing over things that aren't real and don't matter.

The mapping data that Tesla uses does know about school zones, as well as other time or season based speed zones, and even weather-dependent speed zones. They all get rendered on screen, with the currently-active zone shown.
This is not very great logic. People try and argue the same about minimum wage and it falls in its face, because economists who practice critical thinking note that when minimum wage has been raised historically, inflation generally did not follow.
Coffee Prices Climb, Pushed Up by Bad Weather and Supply-Chain Woes
As a counterpoint to the extremely negative commentary I'm reading in this thread, I like "the present your authentic self without turning on your camera" bit. Sometimes I don't want to wear a shirt (or pants!) at home or don't want to be surprised absently rubbing my jaw in thought or making a weird face.

I love to see innovation in the space of remote work tools and I can confidently say Slack and friends ain't it. I want a experience of serendipity-making leveraging some of the same mechanisms physical office goers make use of.
Certainly, sorry for the confusion.

There's actually multiple "we", since there are two institutions involved, and one foil character - I'm the only one responsible for ar5iv "the website", in a personal capacity.

The fidelity of the generator has the "we" of the team behind LaTeXML, the TeX-to-HTML conversion tool. That is in many ways the most important project to remember here, as that is what we want to actively improve to a point where it is "good enough" in creating HTML over the entirety of arXiv.

The institution hosting the website, and wanting to "serve a community" is KWARC, a research group at the university of FAU-Erlangen in Germany. There are all kinds of projects and services brewing on that end, which have interplay with the HTML data behind ar5iv, but are not directly on the site.

And as to all of us reading HN, I think we are actually interested in arXiv itself being maximally useful. And so is the ar5iv site - it's a temporary deployment, that really is aiming to reintegrate back into the arxiv.org site, and general infrastructure.

If/when that happens is unclear, but in the meantime there is a lot of improvements that can be made, both in what HTML can be generated, deciding what the markup of scientific documents ought to be in the first place, as well as gaining some insights for what new problems arXiv would encounter if they served HTML.

Fair, I was thinking of this in the non-cloud perspective where efficiency improvements can push you to upgrade even if the hardware still works. In cloud provider mode it makes sense to keep it around as long as it still works and it's not too annoying to run. It doesn't really matter how (in)efficient the hardware is because you set the pricing to keep it profitable as long as someone's willing to buy it.
I wish I had a clue about how any of the graphics stuff works. All the demonstration code I've seen always says:

"Copy this snippet and "Hey Presto! ... it will all work."

None of it explains how it works, and none of the examples ever make sense to me. Cargo Cult Programming at its finest, and I'm really not comfortable with it.

I’m working on a search engine crawled by users themselves. If I think about it, I'm not interested in 99% of the web. Therefore I don't need to deal with exhaustively crawling the entire web.

Hypothetically, if I could access only the sites visited by the HN crowd, that would be fine by me. Somebody in an art community might feel similarly. If there were some metric the crawlers could use to rate a page (time spent on page, manually downvote, etc), then the signal/noise ratio would be really good.

Obviously if I wanted to do a really broad search, I'd use a typical search engine, but if it's tech related, I wouldn't mind pages that have been browsed by HN.

> The way to help the working class is to ensure economic growth happens, because a rising tide lifts all boats.

This is just trickle down economics. The same catchphrase as "grow the pie to share it".

It simply fuels money to the rich as well, in a larger proportion than to workers. We are actually experiencing the results of 40 years of that ideology and it doesn't look pretty.

Growth is also looking like a very unsustainable way to support civilization.
Why not just start with ads?
It’s not the regulatory side so much as the total addressable market being quite small. If you build a new light airplane now, you’re looking to steal market share from annual sales figures totaling just over 1300 airframes per year. Worldwide.

Ferrari sells almost as many cars in a month as light aircraft are sold in a year. I’m not surprised that people aren’t lining up to compete for those scraps.
The load-bearing word in that sentence is "stealing," rather than "prison guard."
"trickle down economics" for general economic policy, and straight bribing the rich to act well during social programs.

The problem is "a fool and their money are soon parted", and the rich don't stay rich by parting with their money easily.

I don't see an easy answer.
> The camera alone seems to see a lot:

In perfect conditions, on a sunny day.

I'm in Sweden, and the sun shining directly into your eyes from barely above the horizon while the road is wet/covered with snow and reflects that sun at you is a regular occurence during winter months. I odubt Tesla's camera will be able to see anything.
My hope is that they release an ARM mainboard, so I can swap it in. For now though, I'd rather buy from them than the fruit company.
> The Chinese currency used to be and might still be pegged to the US dollar so why shouldnt I invest in the Chinese govt debt instead?

Because the US makes it easy for you to trade dollars around. The dollar's dominance will collapse the moment that significant restrictions are introduced around who can hold it, how they can hold it, and what they can trade it for.

China doesn't care one whit about making it easy for a foreigner (or a local) to trade its money (or derivatives) around. China cares about stabilizing its economy. If the CPC decides tomorrow that currency controls are necessary to stabilize their economy, you're going to be SOL. If the CPC decides tomorrow that USD, or BTC, or RMB can't flow out of China, you're SOL. And so on, and so on.

I wouldn't recommend making investments when you don't understand the risks.

Hoping to get into this summer's YC and looking for one or two co-founders.

I am mostly a business/marketing guy who can hold his own in devops/backend, but no where near professional.

Looking for at least a backend co-founder who knows GO (ideally K8s, containers, and CI/CD, as well).

A talented frontend co-founder would always make things a lot easier, as well.

I am currently working on this ~10 hours a day in preparation for the Summer YC class. If anybody is looking for a project with some potential, hit me up!
Not all science is equal, either. A paper published in an evolutionary psychology journal is not as valid as the theory of evolution itself. Yet, we tend to lump everything in under "Science".

Oh sure, L4 within the decade for companies other than Tesla, totally doable. You could argue Waymo and Cruise are already there with geo limitations.

But Tesla within a year with no lidar? Yeah, no. Not happening.
> That he is right does not forbid to mentally work with the concept of objectivity.

Yeah, that doesn't mean anything. The quote taken directly makes it wrong as it conflicts with objectivity, any other interpretation makes it edgy, fanciful, and pointless, as GP pointed out.

> See it more of an invitation to question the objectivity of everything.

That's what everyone already does when they reason through something objective. The quote is un-profound in that interpretation (which imo is reaching)
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not but there is literally something called github pages that does exactly what you describe.

The article is about PPP, which gave out forgivable loans in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to businesses and self-employed individuals. The total cost of this was about the same as the direct payment stimulus checks, but went to about 10m borrowers rather than the ~150m who received the checks.

As for your anecdotes, it was sort of the point of giving people money that they would spend it, "stimulating" the economy. It was not intended to become a nest egg or to satisfy some cosmically appropriate amount of money for an 18 year old to have. It's macroeconomic policy, not moral policy. In many cases, the cost of doing means testing so you don't accidentally overpay someone you think is undeserving is more than the amount saved.
In my country (Ukraine), 3 nuclear power plants out of 15 are competing with cities for fresh water because of drought.
That is true, however for "personal use" one of the popular uses of a socks proxy is to create a local socks server using ssh. Works on all big desktop platforms (on windows puttys plink.exe works fine, not sure if the inbuilt client has it but I'd guess it does too) and often with already installed tools and only need a server with SSH, and is encrypted.

And that is far more common than having a VPN, and again, might not even need to install anything on the client. So you could quickly configure a friends laptop to ssh+socks inside your own network to stream from a local jellyfin server, or whatever. Or bypass language restrictions on regional services when you are abroad on vacation etc. (all are trivial to do with a VPN of course, but this is quite handy when you normally don't have a need for a VPN and/or just want something quick with tools and accounts you know at the back of your mind).

HN's criterion is whether a post is intellectually interesting, or more precisely whether it can support an intellectually interesting discussion. What's nice about that is you can decide it by looking at the article itself, and the thread—you don't need to know nebulous things like the intentions behind the post. I'd say the current post clears the bar fairly easily. Here are a couple of past explanations about this, in case they're of interest:

As for negative/challenging/sceptical: that depends on the quality of the comment. Thoughtful critique is always welcome. Shallow dismissals and snark are not welcome—not that the target of the criticism always deserves better, but the community deserves better.

I'm not super happy NYT bought Wordle but I wouldn't go so far as saying that Wordle might "threaten the NYT crossword puzzle", I don't think something like Wordle requires the kind of highly visible editing the NYT crossword does.

I think they just saw a good opportunity to get a bunch of new subscribers. Which is kind of weird because Wordle is super easy to reproduce, evidently.
You realize that your quote is a lead-in to talk about Earth's procession, yes? You shouldn't suggest that the article is claiming that the Sun's galactic orbit is outside of the galactic plane, because it isn't.

I gave up on containers in Firefox a while ago. They didn't really support subdomains, which made using some services (e.g., AWS) extremely painful. Any site with a different subdomain for the login page, the auth flow, the dashboard, etc., became unusable. Don't know if they ever fixed it to allow for grouping subdomains.

I've been doing a lot of Zwift (cycling) and am itching to make a VR cycling app, I just don't have the time or money to do it myself. If you manage to get something working for rowing I'd be happy to test it out, and to try and help get bike and steering sensor hooked up and try out a "paddleboat" mode or something. I'm also happy to chat about tech/dev side of it, I've been doing game dev for a while now, I'd be glad to tell you how I'd build it. Shoot me an email (joeld42@gmail.com) if you want to chat about VR fitness sometime.

btw, the Vive and the Quest2 both already do motion compensation, even if your game lags a little bit they reproject it so you don't notice if you drop a few frames, a big lag will still cause problems but the headsets take care of the predictive motion stuff.

These are more expensive to build though. At some point, more far-ranging and guided systems can be used to snipe it before it is anywhere close from splitting apart. And Iron Beam will still be cheaper to deal with any warheads that manage to split off.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect either car or human to determine the distinction between "person dressed as cop" and "sworn police officer acting in accordance with his duties".

Calling something unpythonic is a best practice.

Typing vastly reduces the amount of low gain tests. It helps navigate the code and catch errors before they hit production. If you don't want types, don't use them.

That is the point. Maybe PHP with semantic white space is your style.
There are really only three solutions. One, Israel annexes Palestine in its current form, and ceases to be a Jewish state. Two, Israel annexes Palestine after removing its current inhabitants. Three, Israel stays in a state of low-grade warfare while carving out the most desireable bits of Palestine for its settlers as its population grows.

One is untenable for obvious reasons. Two is untenable until memories of the holocaust cease being a formative experience for Israel, so essentially untenable for the rest of our natural lives. Three is not only the only option available, it's actually not that bad a situation while Israel can maintain its military dominance.

I think a big mistake we in the west make when thinking about 'solutions' to the conflict is assuming both sides want peace. That's not been my impression on hearing anyone from either side talk, peace activists from the region but unconnected to the ruling structure notwithstanding.
