Ye.

Also, I should have written "the average driver in a crash is worse than the median driver".

"* In 2016, 10,497 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for 28% of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.

* Drugs other than alcohol (legal and illegal) are involved in about 16% of motor vehicle crashes."

If we include recklessness, FSD maybe need better than half the fatality rate of human drivers, to be on par with the median driver.
> Holding a book, folding pages, the texture, the smell.

This is the reason I can only tolerate reading ebooks in iBooks. If they ever remove the ability to idly mess with page corners in a way that feels almost like a physical object, I guess I'm just done with ebooks. Other readers I've seen with faux-page-turning don't do it right. They don't allow partial turns (just a page-turning animation—not the same thing, and always hideous), only allow a tiny amount of partial turn before the whole page flips over, or it doesn't feel closely-enough connected to your input. Even iBooks could be a lot better, but it's good enough.

[EDIT] Apple Books, rather. Was it ever iBooks, or did I invent that? Either way, that's the program I'm talking about.
No more so than "no code" tools. I imagine the first assembly programmers might have seen the first compilers as an existential threat.

But the job of a software engineer is to solve problems and add value w/ software. A small part of that is writing code. Most of it is designing the right level of abstraction, the interfaces and so forth.

Lastly, as mentioned elsewhere, we will probably always need human debuggers.
> And if you know that, you can both know that facebook.com@mydomain.com is also me, and that you can send me an email at whatever@mydomain.com to also reach me.

SimpleLogin for a custom domain uses MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to help protect you. Yes, if someone does a reverse lookup they can detect that you are using the service, but if you are using an email forwarding service they can more easily detect the provider. I find it very rare for anyone to actually check the records. With their custom domain service you can also use a subdomain, so instead of polluting your bare domain, you can create a unique subdomain for email addresses. You can also use random aliases, so the addresses are not easily guessable (at all).

> Whereas if my email address is, say, sd4k23@mozmail.com, then you can't know my other random aliases, while I'm still able to see who I gave that email address to via the relay.firefox.com dashboard.

No, but then I know the entire mozmail domain is shared and so spammers will target it more frequently.

> Note that I'm not saying you should switch to a service like this; I'm just trying to show why I've started using both: my custom domain for sensitive services, and Relay for one-offs/few-offs (e.g. if I just want to get a coupon code or something).

I can agree there, if you are just creating temporary emails that you don't care if you lose then an alias-provider domain is fine. However, like most people the risk is that they either don't use an alias for other services that are more important or that they do and then the provider shuts down and they can't verify their account.

One huge difference is that the low latency of E-ink means that we don't have scrolling yet.

If you read articles on your phone you may notice that you read in a fundamentally different way then you read printed text. You generally keep your visual field located in exactly one place relative to the phone and then scroll content with your finger up into that space. It's as if you moved the book around while keeping your eyes in one place. On the printed medium your eye stays locked to the corners of the page, the page doesn't scroll out from underneath you.

But of course you are also phrasing an interesting point, which is that screens are usually way brighter than ambient light. To this we can add that a mobile phone is so much smaller than a printed page, you think about the cognitive tasks involved in opening a paper where at first you would open it up wide and be surrounded by word and then you would fold it down to the part that you wanted to read and focus on... Hard to imagine a similar experience on a phone; a set of desktop screens has the right size, but maybe not the ability to effectively expand/condense...

This is great! Thank you for building a more complete reference app.

I went to visit some friends before Christmas and one night we used a website to play poker at a bar without bringing betting chips to the bar (site gives you a unique URL for a room, people can join the room & choose a name, then lets you bet from your chip count & withdraw from the total pool if you win, & displays that info "live" to everyone, super simple & convenient!). The site was cool, but buggy as hell and laggy as hell and didn't really do what I thought it should do to make it easy to play poker, and I'm gonna build one for my friends and I to use that works the way I think it should. Phoenix w/ LiveView (especially running on fly) is the _perfect_ set of tools to use to build it, and this ref app will be really helpful for me. Appreciate it!
I assume that good code automation is not in our sights. We've seen Copilot has a lot of quirks and is based on other's code, which isn't always directly applicable or correct. A good engineer will be better than a machine for as long as we're alive. That's my potentially ignorant take though. Take it with a grain of salt if you think otherwise.
I think it depends on which lockdowns you are talking about.

I've been living in Germany, where lockdowns seem to happen at the time you expect them to happen (when cases start to spike), and the deaths-per-capita are about half that of the UK, where they happened at the last minute (after cases had peaked).

In countries like Korea, Japan, and China, they had very early lockdowns, and have had basically negligible Covid impact.

I would really like it if everybody sat down and started consciously copying the states with approaches that worked, rather than trying to solve the problem from first principles. Public health is complicated, but what's not complicated is that some states are obviously way better at it, and these successes should be emulated.
> The researchers found that the new material’s elastic modulus — a measure of how much force it takes to deform a material — is between four and six times greater than that of bulletproof glass.

The article says he downloaded a hacking tool for a friend into a VM that had a back door. Then goes on to say he was “personally targeted”. This is ridiculous.
I have SmartThings and while it isn't my favorite platform, it is (was?) nice because it "just works" and is accessible to the family.

Even so, I plan on moving to HomeAssistant where I'll have to setup HTTPS and port-forwarding into my home network for integration with my voice assistant (Google Assistant). It seems like the future of SmartThings is questionable so I would rather migrate, especially with Matter as a standard looking to replace ZigBee and ZWave.
I know this will be an unpopular idea but I like the direction gnome is following. I think it is becoming a solid and reliable OS, it has much fewer bugs than KDE, it's getting faster update after update and I like libadwaita to have consistent windows styles. It was frustrating to have ten different windows style, in particular on a 4k monitor. Gnome has a solid core system and we can download or develop extensions if something other is missing.

This is probably the biggest thing. The biggest mistake of hero films is that characters who are strong are not very strong. They do big hits but its all clearly irrelevant. It doesn't really matter how strong they are absolutely. Getting thrown into walls is my particular pet peeve of damaging moves that never matter. There's an over reliance on suspense where its not really deserved. I feel Captain Marvel and Thor Ragnarok did this decently. They just shrugged and made it explicitly clear that the heroes were 100x stronger than the trash mobs and released any tension in the fights to just have a good time with them.

There is the political content of the message and there is the tone.

I could write a pretty hyperbolic article about all of the crazy things that have happened to me because I'm a man. (e.g. being targeted for violence and being told by the authorities I have no recourse, having to assume that people I'm having a conflict with have firearms, knowing I am male and sitting on the outside and I'm the first one who is going to get hit when things go south, ...)

I'd expect that to get flagged too.

Or simply boring. Telling a more nuanced story of credit is one thing, but continually seeking new angles to further deconstruct for its own sake starts to feel unproductive after a few rounds.

It wasn’t this guy, Bob, it was this team; it wasn’t this team, it was really their moms who gave them a healthy breakfast each morning; it wasn’t really their moms, it was the vision and leadership of this guy Bob who was very troubled; it wasn’t this guy Bob but a woman and another guy on his team who were robbed of credit despite their struggles; it wasn’t the woman and the guy, the sugar industry lobby conspired to keep you from knowing the real story; damn, but this guy bob was cool; Bob was enabled by an industry supported by child labor.

By unproductive I mean not adding much of substance but looking for rando new angles to make the story “interesting”. One of those angles comes with the accusation that you’ve been a willing victim of perpetuating untruth but here’s the REAL story.

And I fully realize I’m old man yelling at cloud here. This is the way of popular culture story telling, but there’s some unspoken bargain in the dynamic with the audience that I feel is a bit insulting. That history need spicy new angles or interpretation to be of interest; that these layers are so often pitifully thin takes; that you stick around long enough you see it go full circle more than once. It’s a distraction from real learning.

EDIT: After reading the full paper and not just the twitter graphs, some of what I said is wrong. That is, they also controlled for age, and when controlling for age and road type, autpilot was just worse.

On the one hand I had the same suspicion about the unadjusted data, on the other hand the fact that autopilot isn't worse is pretty promising!

However, average human rates include people driving drunk, tired, elders, teenagers etc.

So at 43 when I am driving sober, I'm probably safer not using autopilot.
When I was 19 probably safer to use autopilot.

I didn't introduce the notion of freedom. You introduced the notion of command economy which implies a lack of freedom. A command economy, or more commonly a planned economy, is an economic system in which a central planner decides what to produce and in what amounts, as opposed to a market economy, where such decisions are made by the producers themselves according to their own judgement. A market economy is not incompatible with the public provision of certain goods and services. In fact, most governments provide policing, armed forces, education and health services, and currency. None of that implies that the economy is a command economy. Nor is it necessarily the case that such public provision of goods leads to sub-optimal results.
I disagree. I love that Garamond italic is not a slightly cleaned-up oblique version of the Roman font, but an entirely different font of its own. I wish more typefaces would do that.

In stately Garamond text, the italic stands out, which helps it fulfill its use in emphasis. However, I agree that because of this heightened visibility, its use should be limited to where it's truly needed. It's sort of like chili powder: used wisely, it enhances; used excessively, and it draws too much attention to itself.
It’s make one wonder if most of the other posters even bothered to read the details.

I don't think that's what happening. Let's talk about this case: programming. It's not that people are saying "an AI programming" isn't impressive or isn't AI, it's that when people say "an AI programming" they aren't talking about ridiculously controlled environments like in this case.

It's like self-driving cars. A car driving itself for the first time in a controlled environment, I'm sure, was an impressive feat, and it wouldn't be inaccurate to call it a self-driving car. However, that's not what we're all waiting for when we talk about the arrival of self-driving cars.

So you are not really arguing that human knowledge cannot be categorized.

In fact you are sort of arguing the opposite: Human knowledge lends itself so well to categorization that a single ontology is impossible (if it was really hard to categorize, there would be no or few ontologies).
How has this been voted so high up given that it:

1. Doesn't seem to work for anyone

2. Doesn't have anything specific to do with HN users. Since anyone can use it, it's just a random voice chat connection website.
It also has drawbacks like being locked into Saas products that you don't have a lot of insight to.

For me, while eink devices are better for the eyes, there's practically no difference in my comprehension and retention between eink and LCD; both are markedly worse than a physical book.

It's not, for me at least, the distraction potential. I think its more-so the tertiary sensory experiences physical books carry: the smell of the binding; the dimples & knots in the paper as you trace your finger over lines; the visual clarity of your position in the book relative to what is left; there's a lot that even eink sacrifices. People often say that these qualities are what they enjoy about books, but I suspect it runs even deeper than that; that these qualities add landmarks to your memory, and aid in recall.

Hi, one of the maintainer of Hurl [1].
It is effectively basically just curl (we're using libcurl under the hood). I would say that we have added the ability to chain request (you could use curl in a shell script), and a bunch of assert (like jsonpath, xpath etc...) on response (which you could arguably do also with shell script).

We also wanted something text based, that could easily be integrated in a CI [2] for instance. We are using Hurl to test our web application (~2M unique visitors/month).
Very happy with it currently, but there are really a lot of very good tools in this space (as we can see in these comments).
