Krebs is making a broader point about ads not being distinguishable from search. Good! Fair, appropriate criticism.

Krebs however, falsely claimed that Google's statement included declaration that they were opposed to placing ads above search results.

Numerous HN commenters confused the two things.

Faced with the correction, people on HN equivocated between the indisputably false characterization of Google's statement and a broader criticism of making ads similar to search results, as if a statement about the former amounts to a latter.

It doesn't, it was this lack of interest in truthful characterization, rather than the innocence of Google that was at issue.

Now, Krebs acknowledged the correction of his incorrect characterization, and restated his concern as a broader point that was no longer false. Hilariously, it is this abandonment and reformation of his point is now being treated as vindication by HN commenters who were defending the false version.
This is the reason why a single camera alone is not capable of being the sole source of information for a self-driving system. The technology currently available for camera systems does not capture a high enough dynamic range to be able to see details in darkness when the Sun in in frame. You could use multiple cameras all with different sensitivities to light and combine them, but it's going to be very difficult.

>The FDA did its job

They did, and as part of their authorization they gave Pfizer until June 2025 to complete the long term testing on all the cases of myocarditis and pericarditis - https://www.fda.gov/media/151710/download

So if the FDA says long term testing will not be complete until June of 2025, should we not take them at their word that long term testing is still needed?

The problem with C is undefined behaviour. Not mentioned in this post.

Specifically the somewhat recent idea that code which does something naughty is best deleted. This makes updating a compiler a hazardous activity for approximately all 'C' code. Also makes refactors somewhat risky when they send code down different paths in the compiler.

Does this dataset actually exist anywhere? I would bet that at best it might be able to be inaccurately inferred from other data.

Regardless, if we as a society decide to build self-driving cars, should we really be optimizing for the financial well-being of the driver (via tickets) over the physical wellbeing of the humans in the society (who are hit by FSD cars that roll stop signs in areas with less traffic enforcement).

> Especially the main point I made of the listing of states in conflict where it is similarly not possible for the smaller side to wipe out the nicer one.

You're conflating the sides of the conflict here. It's not palestinians versus israelis, and it started much earlier than in 20th century. Arabs have already wiped out all the jews from their states already in 1940s — some managed to flee to Israel, but many more were just killed.

Yes, Israel managed to build bridges with some arab governments, from Egypt to Saudis, especially lately. But don't conflate government with countries. The majority of arabs all over the muslim world, both Sunni and Shia, despite their internal differences, offer wide popular support to complete genocide of jews.

Why are the authorities asking stablecoins to prove 100% reserves, also letting banks have fractional reserves closer to zero... and since 2020, actually let them have zero percent reserves: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm

Zero reserves means print as much as you want, subject only to the bank's own underwriters. The banks went and minted trillions of dollars in unbacked currency. Most of our fiat money supply comes from M2 and M3 money issued by banks.

Meanwhile, algorithmic stablecoins like DAI have 150% reserves, yet the government doesn't trust them as much as the banking system?

This is what service intervals are for - your car likely requires an service every 12 months or XXXX kilometers whichever comes first. The service doesn't just include actual work on the car it includes an inspection of the lights, tyres, etc and a report to the owner saying "tyres need replacing in the next couple of thousand Ks they're almost at the wear indicator".
I agree. Considering the complexity within organizations, imagine pleading your case to a couple of Stanford MBAs that are 1) incredibly smart, 2) operate in a PE culture that rewards managers that provide others with "negative feedback" to get results, and 3) believe in their hearts that cutting benefits is "optimizing" the business to maximize shareholder value. They can make a compelling counter-argument for just about anything.
I’ve been giving away "my data" for free stuff since the beginning of the Internet. Still waiting breathlessly for that high impact.

What I found to be the biggest problem with SQLite is concurrent write operations. WAL helps for concurrent read but not for concurrent write.

On a moderate use case (< 20 write operations per s) I kept getting timeouts so I first devised a quick fix system using RQ jobs passing writes to a single process and migrated to postgres as fast as I could.

Does this software help with concurrent write operations?

> So when you go into your laptop which has no GPS, the WiFi which you connect now has a real location association with it.

The phone can associate the SSID with a physical location. Maybe also a MAC address?

From a web browser on the laptop, they'll have the wi-fi network's IP address. They won't be told the SSID.

They'll have different pieces of information. I don't think it will help to work out your physical location from a laptop's web browser.

To associate a wi-fi network with a physical location that's helpful for tracking a laptop either:
Your phone would need to authenticate to it and reach the internet to get the wi-fi network's IP address whilst on GPS
Or: wi-fi networks you're not connected to need to be broadcasting their public MAC address- so far as I'm aware they don't
That is not much of a problem in practice. A 'rusted out' suspension doesn't happen overnight. There could be regulatory requirements for self-driving cars to be considered 'streetworthy'. Out of compliance, robotaxi disabled.

The tricks you mentioned are already used for some aircraft inspections.

What the software needs to worry about would be other types of failures. Software is much more likely to detect issues before the driver. Say, brake performance is outside the expected range, or appears to be degrading too quickly.

Israel would like peace, but they know it's not feasible. Peace will only come about either with the at a minimum extirpation of Jews from the area, or with the backers deciding they don't want to support the war anymore--and that would require at a minimum a serious threat of Israel going nuclear, probably actually nuking somebody's capital.

Hence the low-level conflict is the least bad choice.
Assuming it is an active real estate with lots of transactions, yes, the agent is absolutely more motivated to close the deal and move on to another deal than to get the highest commission possible on a particular deal. The situation is similar with recruiters. It is important to understand these motivations to correctly interpret what you are hearing from the agents/realtors.
Tesla's approach is a textbook case of differing constraints.

Despite Elon's commentary, the reason Tesla does not use lidar is sensor cost (waymo/cruise cars probably have 250k+ worth of sensors on them), and reason Tesla does not use radar is supply chain.
It is also worth comparing this to the current status quo. About ~17% of working age adults in West Virginia are receiving disability benefits[1] vs about 8% for California and New York.

The reasons for this are complex, but in short it is likely due to a mixture of cost of living (disability benefits go farther in LOC areas), economic opportunity (disability is "more attractive" when job opportunities are scare), and demographics (older, more blue collar, etc...). But regardless of how or why these discrepancies exist, we have essentially created a system which incentives our population to self-sort geographically based on their ability to contribute economically. That is of course problematic in and of itself, but this also means we have a real life pseudo "UBI experiment" that we can evaluate. And if you look at the data, nearly all of the states with high disability percentages are low cost of living states, particularly when it comes to housing prices.

So anyone who complains about how UBI would increase housing costs needs to first account for the fact that large swaths of the working age population are already receiving benefits similar in level to a UBI (disability is about $1600/mo). And despite the higher concentration of beneficiaries in areas like WV, we haven't seen much of any impact in real estate or local inflation. If anything we have seen the opposite.

Wifi and cell tower location are much less precise than GPS. They are irrelevant for lane detection.

Even if I’m not interested in the role I’ll let them know and often I’ll send them some people in my network that could work out.

All about use cases. In the open back, those are hard to beat. You are obviously a person of good taste as these are generally considered a flat and true headphone. I would however recommend buying used, and that might get you something nicer, like 800's. The other hifi headphone that everyone in the "know" seems to love is the Dan Clark aeon 2, open back. $900 new, $600ish used.

https://danclarkaudio.com/aeon-2.html

The other thing to consider is amplification, but at the $500 price point you can probably get away with feeding it from a phone or entry level DAP.

Once you get above this price point, there is a balancing act of signal and amplification Vs headphones, and you are into the thousands of dollars range.

I would recommend an older used astell and Kern DAP to pair with a headphone like the HD650. Being free of the noise on your home electrical circuit and using battery will get you very close to ideal for very little money.

> at what point are we asking too much for free?

But isn't this reasoning sort of paradox? Google is asking for something here in exchange of allowing to use the navigation feature. That makes it by definition not free - it's just, there is no straight-forward monetary price to it.

You can redefine "free" as "any price other than money" - and lots of people in tech seem to do exactly that - but then, if done honestly, you'd have to allow people to reason about non-monetary prices in the same way as about monetary ones: Compare them, decide about fairness, etc.

What scares me is that frequently, this isn't done - on the contrary: A developer can make its users jump through all kinds of hoops and demand whatever they want - and all is ok because it's "free"!
I guess I expected Google to either show the correct result or say that there are no relevant results, instead of giving me irrelevant results. I did initially try to also add Bing into title since they both did this, but I've reached the character limit.

Isn't a torrent file just an address on how to reach the relevant files, so it should be really small. From what y understand you don't even need the torrent file, you can just use a magnet link, but I don't have a lot of experience with that.
Right. You just move complexity into the codebase.
> because of a lot of work

That is possible. And irrelevant.

What matters is that it is simple for the end user.

===

Consider, for instance, a "payment screen" which would require the user to enter the exact value of a product of two huge numbers. It is difficult for any human to calculate it on their own. And the merchant is willing to provide it to them for a fee.

However, the user can also simply use e.g. a calculator in their mobile phone and get the correct number themselves in seconds.

There indeed was a lot of work put into the design of calculators and mobile phones etc. or into whatever other device the user chooses to use to get this number. But that is irrelevant. The important part is that a regular user can easily do it.

Now, consider another example where a "payment screen" would require the user to enter a unique number that only the merchant is able to issue and they will only provide it to the user in exchange for a fee.

In such case, the user can have any readily available resource at hand and they still would not be able to circumvent this kind of "payment screen" in any way. The only way through for them would be to obtain the required unique number from the merchant and pay for it in the process.

The later example can be considered a payment screen precisely because it requires the user to pay. That should, after all, probably be the definition of a "payment screen".

However, in the earlier example, the "payment screen" is only asking the user to pay. It does not enforce it. So, the users have an option to pay, if they like, or to not pay and calculate the correct number themselves by any of the trivial means that are readily available to them.

It is in my opinion disingenuous to suggest that there is any obligation to pay for a service that is offered in exchange for an optional fee. Similarly, I believe that judging those who choose not to pay for such a service or labeling their behavior as unethical is absurd.

It is the merchant's choice to have the payment optional. And therefore, they need to accept the consequences of this decision. In reality it would probably mean that some users will indeed choose not to pay.
