Don't act like the term "spyware" is nebulous and undefined. Spyware is collection of information without consent of users. It's well defined, well understood, and illegal.

The only thing people are hiding behind here is that users agree to it in some novel length TOS that they don't read and don't understand.
This was a big learning for us when we were first building out Kintaba[1].

Re: task management specifically-- having previously been at FAANG companies that built all their own tools I had not realized just how prevalent Jira is. It. is. EVERYWHERE. and IT orgs at companies from 3 to 300,000 people are absolutely married to their carefully customized version of it as a system of record for everything that happens or will happen.

We see many on-premise implementations as well despite the announced sunsetting of that product.

I'm sure there's a #2 and #3 out there but honestly I almost never see it (we do see clubhouse/shortcut from time to time... but even those folks tend to move to Jira within 6 months).

OT but it really makes me doubly impressed that Slack was able move into organizations so successfully from all corners such that it was able to dodge what would traditionally be a pretty big Atlassian-owned barrier.

It never occurred to me to look for modded versions of these games (though I'm aware that there are a ton of Pokemon mods). Thanks for sharing those specific ones, at some point I'll get the itch to play FF6 again and try one of those.
If vulnerable people had been told to and had in fact decided to lockdown themselves voluntarily society would have had the same benefit. That is no reason to force the rest into some kind of behavior.

And in fact they would have been better off because society would not have incurred the monumental monetary costs of lockdowns and would have saved a very large amount of money that is now not going to be spent on the elderly.

We signed an extradition treaty in 2003 with the UK:

The Parties agree to extradite to each other, pursuant to the provisions of this
Treaty, persons sought by the authorities in the Requesting State for trial or
punishment for extraditable offenses.

As I understand it, this was an extension of the original 1972 treaty.
Safety rituals are extremely useful exactly because accidents happen when you have reduced capacity without realising it.

Google is called alphabet now … so they clearly wanted to pursue other things.
Not once humans adapted to it afaik. AlphaStar got to top grandmaster level and then that was it, as people found ways to beat it. Now, it may be that the team considered the project complete and stopped training it. But technically - as it stands - Starcraft is still the one game where humans beat AI.

All too often, especially in the open source world, settings are used as a way to not figure out how to make a good default. When the default is crap, I am forced to go to the settings and spend way too much time finding my way around a gazillion possibilities.
I think that means that the word "experiment" isn't the right term for what most mathematicians do.

I'd say most times it's "modeling", not "experimenting"
Well, it could have limped along with degraded performance. Which would undoubtedly have been better.
This feels like a central question of post-cloud / post-SaaS outsourcing.

In the end, it boils down to two options: offer deep APIs into your product, or don't.

IMHO, what needs to happen to support the former is for every SaaS purchase to include full technical due diligence on external integration capabilities.

Integration needs to start being a headline feature in purchasing. And less an afterthought when a horrified engineer looks at some new enterprise product that's already being adopted.
Of course I wouldn't ever tell her the truth of when I decided to get a divorce. It would devastate her to find her past X years have been a lie and I'd just be a great a*hole.

I'm trying to think in the best outcome for both, because even thought I don't love her romantically anymore, I really wish her the best for her life and I would like her to find someone else that might be better husband than me (if that's what she wants of course).
There's either a dark pattern or a crazy bug on the cookie popup -- to turn off analytics cookies, you actually have to press the on part of the switch to toggle it off. Totally backwards and misleading. If you press Off, it stays On.
The difference between the two examples you have it that venture capital and the market economy openly embrace their flaws, whereas science and academia refuses to acknowledge (or manage) the "humanness" of the system and projects a hyper-enlightened ideal both internally and to the outside world.

Aw man, sorry to hear that Matrix didn't work out for you. There's definitely a cost to building on an early-stage technology with a lot of its own complexity. (Heh, ask me how I know...)

Still, super impressed at what you've built.

Looking forward to syncing up soon!
That's a good energy storage mechanism, but do you know what the efficiency is? Also, how much energy could you practically store there?
Thanks for the thoughtful questions!

1. People have definitely tried this in the past in terms of having similar tech, but I don't think anyone has sanely approached it at the same angle. We're seeing so many more companies like EquipmentShare (https://www.equipmentshare.com/), UpKeep (https://www.upkeep.com/), Spot AI (https://www.spot.ai/) and others which are building core software for industries without necessarily having tons of video expertise in-house. Also other video-first companies like Gong (https://www.gong.io/), Mux (https://mux.com/), and Loom (https://www.loom.com/) are building platforms that might benefit from visual analysis at scale. Things like serverless functions were also less cool before.

2. There's a bunch of ways to search using Sieve. Some are fixed variables, others are visual similarity based. See here: https://sievedata.com/faq

3. Our target is the full stack developer within companies building cloud-first software for specific industries. Easy-to-use APIs are key because of this. They are the ones with the expertise to package it into a product that really works for the end user, and we're the ones with computer-vision and video expertise.
what Musk wants/will do is largely irrelevant to the eventual success of self driving vehicles. pardon the use of his pet acronym FSD but what will make the technology, not Tesla, successful is a build environment that a car can interact with more reliably as well as a car that can interrogate the built environment more effectively.

Both are important. A long range RFID tag in every road sign means I don't need a camera to read it, and it can't fail in snow. Magnetic nails[1] in the highway that can aid with high speed lane positioning information absolutely beats the camera on my Volvo that struggles to see white lines when driving into the sun.

With a 25mph limit and no significant traffic, that would be actively miserable.
I was coming at it from the perspective of science, not religion or culture. I think it is scientifically accurate for the reasons outlined in my original post. Of course more people are better, but the question was about the minimum possible. If there are scientific arguments why this is not possible, I would like to hear them. For example, the average person is claimed to have 1 deadly recessive genes. One could find people with none. Alternatively, this would only result in 25% child fatality, which isn't fun, but also isn't a show stopper.
I will grant some of what you've said, and so I will take a different tack.

I have not seen a Daniel Craig Bond film that didn't have noticably CGI elements bringing me out of the moment. Some of the old (especially Roger Moore) bond films had pretty dire effects where it is obviously a man in front of a video screen, but I don't remember finding them as immersion breaking at the time.

But, hard to say what is recency bias. I will say that Bourne stands out as having no such issues where CGI was obviously used... but maybe it was done better

It's not quite the same: I've used an increment instead of zeroing, otherwise the entire benchmark gets optimized away. Still got just about the same result (3.7x speedup for 100 iterations), so wasm did good there. Actually, now that I think of it, SIMD code performance probably depends on good register allocation more than on any optimization.
so in sum, Thomas Bayes just kicked Tesla square in the ass?
I agree, and that's one of the reasons that I respect Snopes. Even the few times that I've disagreed with them, the article was well sourced enough to use the article to reach contrary opinions.
What's more surprising to me is DAU's dropping. Has Facebook penetrated every person on the planet, or is the Facebook empire starting to shrink?
Sure, but I was a kid and I remember what stupid things I did, like driving a bike on a big hill , off road, Now I can't imagine me doing this, not even if you pay me a lot of money - so is clear that kids and teens will do a lot of stupid things because for some reason they are blind to some risk categories.
I sometimes read these and wonder if I need to retrain. At my age, I’ll struggle to get a job at a similar level in a new industry.

And then I remember that the thing I bring to the table is the ability to turn domain knowledge into code.

Being able to do competitive coding challenges is impressive, but a very large segment of software engineering is about eliciting what the squishy humans in management actually want, putting it into code, and discovering as quickly as possible that it’s not what they really wanted after all.

It’s going to take a sufficiently long time for AI to take over management that I don’t think oldies like me need to worry too much.
I’ve shown up to contest all but one traffic ticket I’ve ever received*. It’s up to the state to prove what I’m being accused of; I am not required to admit to it or passively pay the fine without appearing if I choose.

I’ve won many (outright or gotten reductions to non-moving violations) and lost some, but I’ve never had a judge “rain hellfire on [me]” or anything even remotely similar to that, even in cases where I pled “not guilty”, listened to the state’s case, and presented no argument in my defense.

* I got a camera ticket in Switzerland on a business trip that I did just pay rather than traveling back to appear and undoubtedly lose.
That’s a big question but I’m tempted to answer it with a yes. A protein sequence contains a complete description of the structure of a protein but a coding question contains unknowns and the answers contain subjective variability.
It wasn't much of an accomplishment for Tesla to introduce safety features across its lineup, when its lineup consisted of luxury cars.

Today, other car manufacturers are standardizing safety features across their model lineups while manufacturing cars that are a third the price of the cheapest Tesla.
I should have clarified. I'm at ease in loud environments (bars, rock concerts, shooting ranges), but I get overwhelmed trying to understand what nearby people are saying. It's not a social anxiety issue, but something about my auditory processing. I have no trouble picking out a weak CW signal in a noisy HF environment, or listening to SSB phone on a crowded channel. It's a "saturation" issue. If the noise is loud enough, it overwhelms my ability to track the quieter sounds, and I get stressed out when trying to do so.
If this has 100x less carbon footprint and steel is 90% recycled, the polymer still wins overall.
I have no idea about your area.

Here in Lincoln, NE, everything was locked down to the point where open air parks had bright orange fencing around the playground equipment.

Grocery stores, Home Depot and Walmart were all that were open.

Walmart had a block long line, socially distanced of people waiting to get in. A Walmart employee was controlling the flow and ensuring masks.

The streets were empty. You couldn't go anywhere even if you wanted to.
Can someone explain the issue here? I loved FF VI (US III), but I haven't heard of it being censored.

Looks like the level of censorship is way below my threshold of what is "news", but a nice clean-up job nonetheless.

I can write some code from scratch, but my ability to write code is improved by an order of magnitude when I can refer to online resources, including example code.
Research into this stuff is very young and so I think it's fair to be skeptical of the results. I'm hoping we'll eventually come up with more rigorous, reproducible results.
That feels like something that AWS would want to shut down if the business ever gets large enough. AWS has its own partners / AWS distribution program, which usage.ai doesn't seem to be a part of.

Do you believe you'll be able to continue running this once someone high enough in AWS "notices" you?
The paper here seems to make absolutely zero distinction between deductive and inductive reasoning, which should be the entire point.

Math is an arbitrary framework, built from arbitrary axioms. It is deductive. Thus, all proofs are simply deduction. The knowledge here is positive knowledge, we can show things are true, false, or undecidable. There may be errors, but those are errors in execution.

Psychology is not built on a framework. It is inductive, we are trying to find axioms that map to the data we collect. Thus, all papers are trying to add/build it's arbitrary framework. The only knowledge here is negative knowledge, falsification, we know only what is a failed hypothesis. There will be errors, both in execution, and there will also be statistical errors in experimental results.

The entire point of the replication crisis is that we don't publish or pay attention to results that are boring, so the framework we build is built on skewed data. We don't reject previously popular papers that are now unfalsifiable (the idea that the now unfalsifiable Milgram experiment is still taught in every university psychology dept should be outrageous). The boring results need to be weight statistically against the interesting results, but aren't, etc. Nobody out there is arguing whether or not the axiom of choice is a true axiom? It sort of doesn't matter, it can't matter, because it's arbitrary by definition.

You can't have a replication crisis inside of a deductive framework without changing the framework. This doesn't happen too often, but we did see this during the shift from neutonian to einsteinian physics. The study of philosophy of science is fairly obscure, but is the center of this discussion.
Well well.. Looks like someone has noticed we entered the Industrial Age some time ago!
Have you heard about something called automation?

Do you know who did, and had to deal with it decades/ centuries ago? Every other type of workers. Farmers, metalsmiths, artisans, etc, etc. Everyone gradually moved to better jobs and now everyone agrees automation is great in the end, of course.

Frankly, I’ve thought for some time that Software engineers are about the most luddite group around at this point, and I have no problems at all to say this on this website.

Seriously, every other answer in this thread offers true and valuable insights, but as always, about everyone seems to thinks Software jobs should be “different” or “more safe” than the others for Some Reasons.

Which, to me, it’s Doubly sad: for the reason that, at the beginning of computers (less than a century ago), the dream was Already to reach full automation. AI was Always the plan. What happened to that?

Why are many software engineers the ones with most problems with it now? (To the point of denying that AI will ever replace large parts of their current daily job. Of course it will- which doesn’t mean it will replace us ofcourse, just like there’s still farmers around- but the job will be pretty different. And we should be the first to know)

When did the annoying daily job of building boilerplate and knowing arcane syntax by heart become a career anyway, and an untouchable one at that?

Of course it’s easy for me because I’m fairly young, but tbh the sooner we enter the mindset that our job will change Exactly how all the others have, the better…

Sorry if this was ranty but I’ve followed these discussions for a while
Automatic emergency braking is a required standard feature in the US.

Forward collision warning became standard in 2016 by at least ten manufacturers: Audi, BMW, Ford, General Motors, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo.

Without speaking to Blind Spot, my Audi does similar intelligent things. If you change lanes next to a vehicle or just in front of it, but you have a positive speed differential, it won't activate. If there is a vehicle in your blind spot approaching you but their speed differential to you is low, it will activate later. If there's a much higher speed differential (say they're in a HOV lane, and you're in a much slower regular lane), it will activate much earlier.
Thinking about it again, I think the actual conflation I was getting at is the equivalence of "not being kind" and "being a prick" that you implicate right from the start.

> Kindness Is A Hidden Software Engineering Superpower. Sounds fuzzy and a bit bulls*itty, right? Well, it turns out that if your teammates are pricks, you tend to quit or stay and be unhappy and demotivated.

But one is not automatically a prick if one is not kind in the sense you specify later on. Not smiling, not being compassionate, not asking for co-workers' weekends does not make anyone a prick. At least I'd hope so.

Therefore, it seems to me that you are writing about two things at once without acknowledging their difference: "Being kind" and "not being a prick". I’d pick one and go with it but not both at once.

(As an aside, I became more aware of that difference after watching the series "The Fall" about a Belfast police task force trying to catch a murderer. Some of the characters in the police force (esp. Anderson's) were not kind, but they were not pricks either. They were more or less just doing what was needed to get the job done. It is this series that recently made me aware of how unfashionable this kind of work culture has become in my domain.)
So it's like in the US, where tech companies and mainstream media censors conservative views and where the FBI, universities and NGOs funded with public money are heavily biased towards the left?
The paper claims that they have obtained 2D sheets of very large extent, not small flakes that can overlap.

The advantages that they claim over conventional polymers, e.g. inpermeability and high tensile strength, are conditioned by such large extents. If the 2D sheets would be small enough to slide over each other and insert between other sheet fragments, so that plastic deformation would be possible, then they would also lose any advantages over traditional polymers.
headphones != earbuds
An even more serious problem with Tesla's claims regarding the safety of its Autopilot is this:

Autopilot failure statistics are non-ergodic. You don't get to "play again" after a catastrophic Autopilot failure.

So, Autopilot must not be 5x or 10x better than your own driving -- it has to be, like 100x or 1000x better, in order to warrant you risking your life on it.

Trusting an autopilot that is just 10x better than you are?

Insane. It randomly drives under a semi-trailer that you would have easily seen and avoided, and you're dead.
Haven't read the book but per your comment it occurs that assuming the reality of the 'left off 1%', it is possible that these are distinct market segments. Did Norman or anyone else ever try to correlate demographic aspects with product mis-fit? In other words, the disconnect is possibly at the market/product level and the same unsatisfied with defaults 1% may be perfectly happy with another product that is designed for them (thus having few knobs). Not asserting this but wonder if this is indeed the case.
yeah people will pay for just about anything packaged in a better form. These types of things come and go though. Hoping the author the very best they can make this work long term!

It's a fun rabbit hole to go down :)
Ask HN: What happend to making websites more like terminals?
Terminals are great, text input -> text output.

Terminals are not so visual, and any advance input can be complicated to remember or even type (see input to ffmpeg).

However I feel websites that are used heavily like for customer support teams, that continuously does the same actions, but a wide range of them, could benefit of being able to control more of a website with keyboards.

I think the best example of a keyboard focus website is linear.app, but even that has two types of search (shift + / and CMD + K)
And it shows keyboard shortcuts on mouse over.

However,
clicking the right and left arrow does not move between the main area and the sidebar.
Only clicking up and down arrow changes between the active row currently selected.

I know of Vimium for Chrome, which allows you to press F and then the letter for clicking a link.

However, what happend to those terminals that were focus heavily on the arrow keys to quickly navigate? Those old terminals? Like the current "raspi-config" we have.

Obviously it is pretty hard to navigate with a keyboard on mobile, but "mobile first" does dictate a design that is very narrow and would fit a keyboard navigation.
It is funny to see how all cloud providers has a Cloud Shell.

Have we decided that navigating with mouse is the best interface?
