I have 7 cats now and have had had 15 cats in my life. My whole extended family has always had lots of cats.

Two things stick out at me:

1) Cats really do respond to being talked to and interacted with. Cats that are talked to often get more responsive and communicative.

2) There is huge genetic IQ gaps, lol. Some cats are so smart they blow your mind, others are mouth breathers. The normal distribution is real.

> On top of that their approach of ditching LIDAR

Tesla never had LIDAR. Their older cars have radar.
This entire post is completely missing my point. I am, and have been been for the entirety of this discussion, talking about what the situation is today. Today, audio is broken on desktop Linux. Other OSes might have the same problem or they might not. Tomorrow might be different. I'll even go so far as to say it will probably be different.

But today, if you download the most popular Linux distro from Canonical and install it on your PC, you are going to have audio issues out of the box. Saying anything else is gaslighting, and it is the main reason desktop Linux fails. People are told "it's good now, trust us!". So they install it, their headphones don't work, they roll their eyes and say "Linux gonna Linux" and go back to their previous OS.
One of ours jumps up on top of our printer and reaches up on the wall and starts pawing at a poster when he's hungry.
The board never arrived. At some point (after months) I asked them about it, and they said it had been returned to them due to not deliverable. When I asked them to send it out again, they demanded extra money for postage. The amount they wanted was more than the board originally cost, which had shipping included.

Tried to reason with them, but they would not budge and got pretty rude about it; they wanted money. So I will never buy anything from them again.
But in the real world, companies have to build and test assets. Blockchains are ledgers, and NFTs are receipts: they're far too expensive to hold a lot of data. They're never going to hold game assets.

If you want to say that Activision or Square-Enix come up with a tokenized platform for their own assets, which you can then use in other future games, that's marginally interesting. But Activision isn't going to care one bit about creating tokenized assets that players from Square bought on Square's platform. There's no money there.

Furthermore, players play for assets all the time in order to show off. When you start flooding the market with items so that players have cool stuff from day 1, you create a disincentive for them to push through and acquire these other items.
Those can likely be maintained for anti-abuse purposes as well, particularly if OP got blocked. Separately, (1) Discord claims some of this is deleted at 14 days; and (2) good luck getting an overwhelmed DPA to take seriously your complaint that a company stores browser user agent longer than they ought to.
As an EU citizen, I’m wondering how things like the “right to be forgotten” would work on this? How can we remove personal information in web3?

I’m still new to the topic so I guess there are some easy solutions already…
IMO it's all about Xi and the other folks at the top trying to "save face" [1]. Looking it from that lens it all makes perfect sense.

The little secret differentiator to the big clouds is the outgoing bandwidth cost which is $0.01/GB compared to e.g $0.13/GB on AWS. This did luckily not change with the new prices.
Ask HN: Experiences learning to drive on the left?
Next year, my family is going to be relocating from the US to a country that drives on the left side of the road.

Anyone have experience making this transition (or the reverse)? Any tips or advice?

It's an interesting change since it's not easy to practice beforehand.
Ah fair enough. I misunderstood your comment. I thought you were suggesting 60k was the ALL TIME high bitcoin will ever achieve.

As for timelines - that's anybody's guess.
the gov limits how much they can jump every 6 months -> only for residential customers. Business customers do not have this cap.

COVID is airborne, so lockdowns in a dense city do not work.

Cleaning surfaces doesn't do anything, those plastic dividers also don't do anything.

The regular masks barely do anything. The N95 masks only work until people take them off and they eventually have to.

Vaccines only work for a short time, but they do reduce deaths because the eventual infection is not as severe.

Basically not a single thing that we did actually helped. It just made people feel better by giving them a sense of control.

The only thing that worked, in a sense, is allowing COVID to infect people and giving them natural immunity.

I say in a sense because there were deaths by following that process.
BTC is not pegged, that's the diff.

> Only 3.87% of Tether was backed by dollars

For comparison: Citibank had only 11.73% Tier 1 capital in their 2021 report: https://www.citigroup.com/citi/investor/quarterly/2021/ar20_... Couldn't find a breakout of their Tier 1, but it includes high-quality credit items as well, so actual dollars is well below 11.73%.

So in other words: SiliconAngle.com is writing clickbait and doesn't understand modern banking.

I'm sure that Tesla will have to eventually bring back radar into the stack. The problem with a vision system only is that it relies on visual clues that can be easily blinded by the conditions of the road. For instance a sun glare, high beams from traffic, water on the windshield, or simply a small depression on the road terrain.

These are the same things that can cause a traffic accident for a human with human eyes, so there's really no logical reason to assume that you can create a more performing and safer computer driver by emulating human vision only.

Radar solves all these problems by enhancing the perception of the car and creating redundancy so the car can cross-check its assumptions about the road, the terrain, and the obstacles with two different and independent perception systems.

I can't understand why they removed radar. You don't need to be an expert to understand why vision alone won't work.
My take on this is that the big three dog food companies have the budget for food scientists and a reputation to protect. After all the scares with boutique brands, I would only ever feed my dog food from Purina, Mars, or Hills.

For training, I use either their normal kibble if the dog is sufficiently food motivated, or string cheese.

The only treats my dogs get are to lick the plate if it’s suitable.
If there is nothing "not actually possible" what's the problem that needs to be solved?
my cat totally knows her name but listens to most all of my vocalizations for anything she may want. she comes or meows if she hears something desireable (which, as she knows, her name is correlated with but not perfectly), and ignores me or leaves if she hears something undesireable (like "bath"). so it's not just a dichotomy between misunderstanding and apathy, but more a case of personal assessment and desire.
I have a PhD in theoretical quantum optics, currently doing postdoc and moving to experimental stuff, and I have to agree. We don’t know how quantum mechanics works at a basic level, what is a measurement? Are wave functions real? Are we just ignorant or are things really inherently probabilistic? These (and others) are huge questions underpinning our basic reality, but we have only made very modest progress on them, if any. It’s not clear that we will ever know, there’s certainly not a clear path forward
Have you misplaced your comment? It is obviously an ethically grey area, but the question was whether it violates sanctions or not. It isn't, as far as I know (if there's someone better informed I'm happy to be corrected).
I think that's giving them too much credit. Historically, this isn't the first time that they've enacted a long war of attrition against nature and lost. Consider their attempts to eliminate sparrows, for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Pests_campaign
With no sparrows to eat them, locust populations ballooned, swarming the country and compounding the ecological problems already caused by the Great Leap Forward, including widespread deforestation and misuse of poisons and pesticides.[9] Ecological imbalance is credited with exacerbating the Great Chinese Famine.[12][13] The Chinese government eventually resorted to importing 250,000 sparrows from the Soviet Union to replenish their population.[14]
The scale of these delusions can only match the scale of Putin's delusions. How detached from real life should one be to reason about people as though they were homo economicus, pathetic humanoid consumers?

Linking “brands” to “civilization” is just a widespread publicist cliche that is only observed in various “analysis” in media. When you look at what people actually did, there is no trace of such feeling. Those who were critical of the state politics reacted to the news with “things are looking turbulent, better buy some buckwheat just in case”. Those who were supportive of the state politics reacted to the news with “things are looking turbulent, better buy some buckwheat just in case”. See, no one seriously cared about McDonalds® burgers or Apple® devices, but that didn't affect “economical prognoses” in the slightest. I can make my own: not even in most glorious America there is enough people to start an uprising over McDonalds being unavailable.

What's more important, outside of lucky industries like IT, not many people can even afford to care about brands. Those who make a lot usually work in export or budget spending (or “spending”) sectors, and they are the ones who perfectly understand that their wealth depends first and foremost on supporting any decision that comes from above, not following some capitalist dreams (even though this is a typical corporate manager situation). Those who make a lot more than a lot, and used to buy castles, villas, yachts, and so on in Europe and elsewhere, had zero problems with that for decades, despite the common knowledge that almost none of them had made those kind of money independently, and with hard work. One might even theorise that shooting down Boeing full of Europeans (as opposed to lesser people across the world routinely dying on TV screens) was Putin's particularly devilish plan of forcing his daughter to stop enjoying life abroad and move back home. Such are customs in modern “high society” of “successful people”. Have anyone noticed that when US arrested Abramovich's mansion, he seemed to get irritated, and made some un-business-like comments along the lines of “I'm no different from other people buying those, what's your fucking problem?” Might be the rare occasion of him telling some truth.

There has been a very nice rebuttal back in March. I am grateful to English translators because now I don't have to state all of that myself:

`eachindex` is — in quite a few situations — faster than `1:n`.

We've also been trying to promote a culture of not blindly putting `@inbounds` notations on things as the compiler gets smarter. `@inbounds` is a hack around a dumb compiler, especially when the loop is as simple as many of these examples. It's not needed there anymore (but was 5 years ago).
Here's an example of something more obvious. We have a new finance grad. He comes up with the methodology of "let's take all the corporate profit for the quarter, divide it by the outstanding shares, and distribute it". It's a bit simple, but it's fine. However, if you know that comes out to $7.22/share and announce that ahead of the announcement, you would breach your NDA. It's just a stupid number, but it means something.

Similarly, the fact that Twitter used 100, instead of 1000 or 2700 gives you error bars. It means something.

Semi-unrelated: a new stat grad would almost certainly not choose 100. They would feel compelled to run some math and come up with a different sample size that matched the results of some equations for power analysis, etc.
This is one of those situations where our building codes need to catch up to technology. People don't want to live in structures better suited to our environment, they don't want to pay for the cost to build them, and our governments wont force them to do it.

We do have good insulation for our new houses, but building those kind of houses are at odds with living without A/C. Some older homes, built before A/C, could make the heat much more bearable by having better air flow, more windows, and taller ceilings.

Only the arid/dryer climates cool down at night. It is not uncommon for the temps to still be in the upper 80's to 90's (30-34C) in the overnight hours. I remember one particularly brutal 4th of July, sitting outside at Midnight with temps over 100F (38C).

In my area this week, it's gonna be a scorcher, Temps are gonna be at or over 100F ever afternoon this week.

They're all guilty.

From my experience we've had way more issues with AWS machines running exploit checks/brute force logins than any other cloud provider.
Not great. I searched for halloumi as it was mentioned on the page and got "no information found".

Honestly, I have no idea why there are so many things dogs apparently can't eat. It's amazing they survived this long and they're not extinct. I suspect much of it is complete rubbish. For instance, I've made halloumi. It was just milk and rennet. About the simplest cheese there is - and apparently they can eat cheese.
Not at all what I said or think. I only mentioned this current bubble is over. I'm not talking about the next one.

It most likely won't hit $60k this year, but there is a new bubble like clockwork every 4 years. And like I said, another bubble could be kicked off earlier when the ethereum emission drops 90%. That could drag bitcoin up a bit and trigger an early start to the next bubble.
Metasurface-in-the-Middle Attack
So what? All that is nothing compared to the literal destruction of this planet. Better to let them walk all over you than risk destroying the world everybody lives in. I seriously doubt there is a single person in america willing to accept even the possibility of being utterly annihilated by nuclear fire over some foreign european nation. War against Vietnam or Iraq is one thing, war against Russia is on a completely different category.
It is rather far fetched however to assume that forces abandoning equipment willy nilly take the time to strip out ERA blocks for some rough idea of a demoralization effect.

> you can watch the videos on their website anonymously

And do you personally ever do that? How exactly? The crippled slow 'online viewer' that doesn't allow you to even do a simple search and blocks you with a login wall after a couple of minutes?

> are you seriously watching 40+ minutes on your phone? They have two different goals, and that's fine.

Yes, why not? An informative hands-on engineering workshop or an interview with a screenwriter easily run hours. If you will say 'TikTok is not designed for that', well that's my point, YouTube has equally great recommendation system and is designed for that equally as well as it's designed for 30-second cute animal videos.

> 10 year old account

Sorry to hear that YouTube is broken for you. I just can't imagine using TikTok for anything informative, like TFA suggests, when something like YouTube exists.
I think it should be fine for performance AFAIU to use `eachindex` instead; at least I know `eachindex` plays nicely with LoopVectorization.jl with no performance costs there.

That said, I think you're exactly right that people may wonder just this and use the seemingly "lower-level" form out of concern with or without testing it.
The same Discord that told me to just use someone else's phone to verify my account when they kept saying my phone number was invalid?

This doesn't really surprise me.
Just speaking on the content here , this is awesome and something I'll check regularly.
Instead of a "community rule channel", I would love to see shared-ownership (or no ownership, however you would like to look at it) posts. A post that users of a certain role can all edit and isn't bound to a single account. This is currently generally done by using a bot to make and edit posts with, but the UX of using a bot versus normal discord editing is very poor.
Except the large headings and cliched catch phrases make it very "web 2.0" though maybe "Crank up the wow" is being used ironically.

I don't think bad colour schemes is what made the older web good.
>Just because something is expensive, doesn't mean that there's demand.

In this case, yes, this is a country currency not some niche token or whatever, this is a liquid asset.
Yes, and like $50b-$100b worth of trades each day are in USDT, with a market cap of $73b. That's according to coinbase, I can't verify it. When I look at people talking about trading crypto currency on reddit they just don't seem that sophisticated. I am not bashing on crypto, but this seems like a systemic risk people are oblivious to. It won't wipe everything out, but it can't be good for the price.
Crazy how $1/mo is enough to get people who make $200k/year to spend hours or days to move their stuff to another platform. Ooof.
None of those limitations should have mattered in this case, since they all relate to the sensors. We can see the Tesla's view of the world on screen. It knows there are double yellow lines. It knows there is a car in the oncoming lane. It just decides to drive diagonally into oncoming traffic anyway for some reason. There's no way you can blame this on sensor problems. It's just a plain old software bug.
Speaking of distraction; why post a photo of an IBM ThinkPad?
Weeding out bad engineers is necessary. But these metrics are usually used to justify firings on the face than actually using them as an evaluator. Then the directors can pat themselves on the back that they fired someone justly.
Just Google "Can dogs eat x" - you'll usually find a result from AKC at or near the top, and they're reliable.

Here's a list (but they also have more detailed articles that'll come up if you search for a particular food): https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/human-foods-dogs....
My high school summer jobs was working the phone at an inbound call center, where there is a constant queue of customers calling and you answer each call in turn.

The software used would spit out individual metrics like "number of calls taken," and our supervisor used to look at that metric to make sure we were working and not slacking off at our desks, not on the phone.

People figured it out and would just pick up and hang up the phone ten times in a row to game the metric. In response, the supervisor started looking at "average call time" in addition to the number of calls, to make sure this wasn't happening.

So what people did instead would be pick up ONE call, and leave the line open for an hour, long after the customer had already hung up, in order to game that metric.

Seems like something similar could be done with these Amazon metrics.
How do you build a mechanism that has a perfect knowledge about a system while being part of said system?
Parag apparently lost his patience with superficial and misleading claims about Twitter spam (like this analysis) and posted about it today.

You can see it here (https://twitter.com/paraga/status/1526237578843672576).

Noteworthy highlights:

* Twitter estimates its <5% number from human analysis of multi-thousand user random samplings of mDAU

* Twitter allows that number to remain so high to avoid introducing friction like captcha into real users' experiences

* Twitter uses all sorts of internal private data in its analysis

* Parag says you cannot get a reliable indication of bot/not bot without this internal private data

Having just finished building a Twitter analysis tool, I agree with Parag that the Twitter API doesn't provide sufficient clarity to make decisions about spam. This article's analysis doesn't hold up - just because you can name several features you're going to use to generate a spam confidence score about an account does not mean that spam confidence score will have any precision.
All those fake followers you can buy could just aswell be "inactive" lurkers though.
Only you (or anyone who has access to your private key) can access your data.
Yes. We have enough users now.
Sinovac is effective to omicron but only with the third booster. In contrast, Pfizer is almost as effective as sinovac with merely two shots in preventing the COVID. So the problem there first is not why they don't import Pfizer, it is why they do not even have sinovac booster.

The answer here is simple: the government do not enforce anybody to get vaccinated. No one. If you missed a corona test at 7am you might be grounded for the rest of week, but if you don't get any vaccine nobody cares. I got two shots of Pfizer not recorded in China, and no one comes to my place like when they want to test you.

Plus there are sporadic side symptoms getting a shot, like arm sore and allergy, some even last to now. Plus plus, for most of people they don't see virus around. So the incentive is zero.

You probably don't have to right to travel freely, but you have the right to not get an injection in China. FWIW.
At some point AWS did have an "ECU" that did this.

https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/what-is-an-ecu-an-ec2-com...
The percentage of fake users has a high correlation with the value of the business. Twitter's value is higher if the number is lower. I'm not suggesting they just started bullshitting in the past month, just that they are not making the best effort to get an accurate number.
The stream API can sample, but then you see currently active accounts only.

Users are denoted by numerical ID, you can sample using this.
Do we not? Volume of trades was in the billions during the collapse.
Ah, I use it for Jellyfin. The only issue that I have found was storing the config files on a remote system. I have actually had that problem locally too (when using a HDD mount on a HyperV VM). But storing the config locally seemed to help.

I don't do transcodes though, and I think that is the other problem with a low-power system.
It's like they're negotiating with the planet and the sun.
> Everything has correctness issues somewhere.

Yes but Julia is (yet another) dynamic language, presumably for "ease of use". A language with static types would have made it easier to build correct software (scientific code in e.g. OCaml and F# can look pretty good). Julia chose a path to maximize adoption at the expense of building a reliable ecosystem. Not all languages choose to make this trade-off.
Sooner or later people are going to have to actually understand Bitcoin, and will then see that 99% of the rest of crypto are scams.

If you don't understand that freedom is the most relevant part of Bitcoin/crypto, you probably also don't understand that the few good things you take for granted if life are due to the remaining residue of freedom.. and why you didn't care when slavers eliminated it.

Figure it out soon, and save yourself things even more important than wealth.
