I'm sure that the physical part of this problem is also hard. But I have a lot more faith in robotics people coming up with the right "hands" with appropriate sensors on them to grasp a single piece of clothing and separate it from a pile, and then to manipulate that item on a large work area until it is folded. Maybe some delicate load sensors in the fingertips to adjust gripping force appropriately between the silk blouse and the corduroy trousers. Maybe no fingers at all, and just vacuum-and-pneumatic fabric handling devices. Or some other combination.

The things I've seen on assembly lines are beautiful and clever. But they all rely on a sort of consistency of input.

So yeah, that part is hard. But I think the intelligent control of whatever apparatus is used is harder still. To be able to recognize the different items, know when to turn them inside out, know when to bring the unbuttoned halves of a dress shirt together, etc. That's all very hard! Going from a chaotic pile of mixed clothing to a neat stack of folded garments is something a child can do easily, but no AI controlled robot in the world can do at all.

And if it fails on fitted bottom sheets, I won't dock it any points. Even I can't do that!

Having been to many other car factories professionally, this one looks rather strange to me. It's dirty and ramshackle, things are standing around randomly, you see parts falling off during production steps where it's weird (to me), some status displays seem to be down, the density of the space usage is very low. Even for a barely operational plant with much to come it feels rushed together.

Edit: Quite surprised/curious why this is getting downvoted so aggressively ...

Driving is just one mode of transportation. Buses can take 3 or 4 times as much time to reach any destination, which is far too much to be a viable alternative to people with a choice.

Ask yourself if you would like to spend 45 minutes aboard the bus system as opposed to 15 min. in a car
This was discussed a few days ago [0] (I don't know if it's really HN material but it got some discussion). I mention this because I commented there siding provisionally with the "$5000/hour" consultant - this was per hour of workshop as I understand it, which with prep and support could trivially command such a rate. I am "right-wing" if you have to give labels, and I likely don't agree with the consulting professor's views. But that's certainly not a reason to feign outrage that she got what appears to be a normal market rate for her work. It's interesting (and discredits the magazine imo) to see them leading with the $5000 thing - it's what you'd expect from Fox News

To add my dumb question: since the universe expands faster than light, how is this considered a very far object and not just that we're looking at something in the past? Is this confusion of mine between distance and time what physicists mean by space-time?

If that's the case, why isn't the article titled "astronomers just discovered the oldest object in the known universe"?

I think I agree in part, but part of this that I take issue with, is that it takes what would otherwise be publicly accessible land, and rises it up off the street for people who only live in the towers. This has its own miserable effect on the streetscape, because I really don't think that people in those buildings actually use those spaces, and the land could be much more effectively used.
> I have no objection whatsoever with executing people that torture our most vulnerable for sexual gratification.

I have a problem with you executing people.

There are plenty of hypothetical people whom we could agree deserve execution.

The problem is: Who has the power? What else will they do with it?

If the subjects of that power are kept alive then there is a chance to "put right" injustices, if not then not.

That is the problem with execution as a "tool of justice"

Yeah I understood, I just thought that even planet wide, it would require each car owner to have 1000 computers to sum to the same kind of figure.

In this article they are building on top of the technology that lets them turn any cell back into a stem cell, but instead of resetting the cell where it looses its specialized function waiting to be transformed into any cell, they stop short of that and it just continues as a healthier younger cell retaining its current specialized function.

This seems to be building on things that were revolutionary already.

Might want to read the article. But there is no medicine to take yet.

I could see a shot or supplement in the future targeting a variety of cells to halfway deprogram for the youth affect.

German ‘Watergate’: Chancellor spied on rival party, study reveals
Great, now make it so one code base can produce a working GUI on all platforms. Use any tricks you want — COM style binary interfaces, linking against platform libs with common headers, protocols like X11 or Wayland, a common “high level” API that can be transpiled to platform specific code and then natively compiled.

The “one code base” is allowed to have platform ifdefs, doesn’t have to be magically perfect and handle all edge cases.

Because this is table stakes for Electron, cross platform libs, and game engines. Getting Apple, Google, and Microsoft (because honestly if the others can agree Linux will just follow) to agree on something anything would be a huge milestone but I’m sure they would all see it as erasing their moat.
Great to see more work in the Rust+Wasm space. Interested in trying this out at some point.
Most of the feedback I’ve read about working at Amazon seems to be negative. It’s hard for me to reconcile though. As a user of AWS, I love many of their services and the possibilities AWS opens. Most of the negative feedback I’ve read centers around: PIPs, management, work/life balance, on-call, and frugality. If Amazon wants more folks to consider working there, I think they really need to get in front of this from a PR perspective and address these concerns.
People have automation backwards - automation doesn't solve problems. In order to automate, you have to solve all the problems. The machine has to know how to detect and handle any variation it encounters - or summon human help. If it has to summon human help too often, or fails to detect a problem too often, it is simply not worth it to automate.
This looks really impressive. I wish there was a Windows client because I would try it now.
Re: Question 1, I know a lot about differentiated instruction but I have no clue what the hell the Capitalized Phrases are referring to. I could imagine knowing those these being important for a teacher. I could also imagine not. In any case, are those things covered in the required Ed courses? If so, this question seems fine. If not, it's a bad question.

Re: Question 2, I know all the ins and outs of pre-assessment but have no idea which of these answers is supposed to be correct. Probably D but perhaps C? In any case, it doesn't seem like knowing the answer would improve or demonstrate my understanding of pre-assessment in any way.

In fact, it's like a vocabulary test but the vocabulary term itself mostly just demonstrates that the conceptual framework you're being tested on was designed by folks who need to get much better at precision in communication! In any case, 100% pure trivia.

I can't quite classify it but I feel that there is an ethical line between the deaths that are occurring because of a person's flaunting of a law and the deaths that would occur because of a law being changed.

As a terrible analogy, if we made it against the law to wear seat belts, some people would die who would not otherwise die.

Most people would continue to wear seat belts anyway as they are aware that wearing a seat belt is far safer than not wearing a seat belt.

Further, it makes sense that a large portion of those people who would die would be the ones that weren't wearing seat belts to begin with regardless of the law, but it stands to reason that some percentage of people who die would be people who would have worn seat belts but chose not to because it was no longer illegal to drive without a seat belt.

I feel there would be a similar outcome to mass drug legalization. Most people would have no change in their lives. Some people who were subconsciously mid-drug induced suicide would continue on and die quicker thanks to the ease of access and legalization, but there would be some people who, without the legal issues and difficulty of obtaining the drugs being an inhibitor would then choose to indulge, and some fraction of those people may overdose or otherwise harm themselves where they would have been protected by the current status quo.

It's hard to navigate mentally but I feel confident in the statement even if it is not fully formed.

> The same goes for mass, what physicists call mass can be voltage for instance.

You’re probably thinking of how a proton has a mass of 938 MeV/c^2. This is still a mass and not a voltage. 1 eV (electronvolt) is the amount of kinetic energy that an electron would have after being accelerated though an electric potential of one volt. By the mass-energy equivalence 1 eV is equivalent to a mass of ~1.783x10^-36 kg and a proton has a mass of ~1.673x10^−27 kg.

Veblen Goods, Late Stage Capitalism, & ESG (Written in TLDR Style)
Having someone that already works in the company add you to the applicant pool. Most companies have differing level of referrals, including "network" which just means it's someone that you vaguely know but never worked with (or a friend of a friend).

Sometimes there's a bonus attached if the person is hired and stays for some period, though those are somewhat falling out of favor due to the perverse incentive.

The main benefit is just ensuring that a recruiter / hiring manager actually looks at the candidate, so it's really just a portal to ensuring a real recruiter screen.
My very tangential observations in the cardiology domain is that it is in some respects a dark art that requires years, perhaps decades of experience to understand underlying mechanisms. While this certainly looks promising in a person / not person recognition kinda way; I'm hoping it can shed some insight the interaction between scarring and conductivity that leads to arrhythmias.
From the article :

"The truth can be replaced with lies, but mythology (and the American Dream of working hard, retiring, and leaving a better world for the next generation) requires a narrative… an alternative mythology. “Voting with dollars” via choosing to shop at the local “Mom & Pop” store isn’t a reality anymore. Sure we can try, but Walmart, Amazon, and the Tech Giants have won capitalism. In late stage capitalism, “voting with dollars” occurs in assets “bubbles”. The FED is pumping bullets into the bubble the only way they can, from the top down… maybe Congress will join in and help… but until then… we’re all just buying Veblen goods. Might as well have some grounding in real life rather than merely playing the game. Right?"

> Czechia: Czech radio (gov owned/propaganda) https://english.radio.cz

State-owned implies governmental editorial control and is common in countries with less media freedoms (RT for example).

Czech radio (as is the case in most countries in Europe) is a public broadcaster and the government shouldn't have editorial control.
Yes, and it's awful; it's essentially mansion zoning (each lot is required to be massive).

The history of Shaughnessy land use is kinda interesting; it was designed to be an ultra-exclusive enclave from the start, and the province and the city have both used their powers to keep it that way.

In the first half of the 1900s, the province enacted laws mandating single-family homes only in Shaughnessy; they were particularly weird in that the Shaughnessy Heights Property Owners' Association was empowered to enforce them. In (more) recent years the City has done largely the same thing with zoning restrictions.

In general, I agree with you. In specific, I drive almost everywhere despite being a supporter of public transit, because I can't afford to live near a skytrain station and the 'last mile' adds an hour to a trip. If we had more buses, and most routes had dedicated lanes, sure. But since we're half-assing it all, more gridlock is just more gridlock. Which, among other things, means more pollution.

edit: compare to a city like Seattle, which has similar weather, hills, density, etc. A notable feature of the transit centers there is a Park & Ride: a place where folks can park their cars (for free, when I lived there) and get into transit. Vancouver does not have anything of the sort. If you want to park somewhere and take transit into the downtown core, there are extremely limited options. So you get too many drivers. Disincentivizing cars usage is great when there is a viable alternative -- in the absence of such an alternative, it's just flagellation for its own sake.
I'm not sure a lawyer would agree with your assessment of the Apache logs. If they aren't actively being used to maintain site health, the mere collection of private IPs is enough to make them unnecessary private information.

And that's the default for collection of Apache logs.
Patents only cover processes I think ?

For instance Kodak was first on the ground with their digital camera, but we all know how it went. The same way pharmaceutical companies patent drugs but it doesn’t stop a rival company from doing their own development cycle and coming up with a competing drug based on the same molecule.

I've seen mostly 3-4 kinds of automation:

- Material handling - moving a part from A to B. Many of the parts looked too heavy for a human to lift. Some could probably be lifted by two humans working together, but that's a really bad use for humans and easy enough to automate.

- The presses and possibly some kind of moulding/pouring process, which obviously need to be done by a machine

- Spot (?) welding

- The coating/painting

So I'd turn the question around and say: It seems like they automated only a few key processes, and many of them because human labor isn't really an option. The presses replace many different production techniques, some of which could probably be done manually, so replacing those other techniques with "just put it in the press" is an advancement and it implies automation. The painting could be done by humans but the overall process would again be a lot more complicated. Automation for the welding is well established, and you want the consistency of robots.
