Interesting!

AFAIK, in the Netherlands helmets are considered to slightly reduce safety in the general case (but this is not a strong effect).

The general objective is to make infrastructure sufficiently safe so that helmets become redundant.
It's okay that it's unconvincing to you, but I think about dissidents and other "malicious" actors.

Apart from that, with a decentralised system it's way more complicated for others (!) to fuck up and lock your bank accounts.

But to be frank: I found the idea intriguing, never was invested at all. I am also not greedy and apart from taxes for my house I could sustain myself for a couple of months, maybe even 1-2 years without access to my bank accounts
Let's see how that works out for them. Being clever.

Edit: this was a tongue in cheek reference to the follow-up line in Fight Club (after the scene alluded to by OP).
Metrics can easily fool you on Netflix, because many will watch an entire bad season of a show. If you had to watch an episode a week, and you don’t care for the show, missing an episode one week will easily cause you to just drop the show and viewer number quickly drop off.

On Netflix I’ve watch entire seasons of bad shows, because it’s easy, and it might get better and now I’ve already watched the first two episodes. What does happen, and which can’t be meassured, is how many shows I don’t start the second season at all, because season two of that other Netflix original was bad, so there’s a big risk this is as well.

Part of the problem could be eliminated by moving to more classical episodical shows, rather that trying to make every show storylines. It would also make meassuring easier.
Still awaiting for the first real hard-hitting journalistic article … from CNN.
I would love to see tools in these categories:

- Sets constraints on how we write code - like a combination of a powerful linter and templates or patterns.

- Visualizes code-base and flow of code - quickly navigate to the relevant code as well as show the available functions in the code-base so newly onboarded devs can more easily re-use code than write new functions.

- Press record to capture 3rd-party requests and store as json mocks to use with a Mock Service Worker (msw)

Anything that improves the feedback loop, visualizes code-base, reduces context-switching or simplifies flow of code.

Storybook keeps impressing me. It's often misunderstood as a documentation tool but it's more than that. It let's you:

- develop components in isolation, greatly improving the feedback loop and sets constraints on what the component takes in as props and what it renders.

- testing for visual, accessability, interactions etc.
I'm sorry, and pardonner mou Français, but what in the actual fuck?

Should delivery drivers not wear seatbelts because they might not be as afriad that they'll fly through the windshield? Should linemen not wear harnesses because they might be more confident working on power lines? Should warehouse workers not wear hi-vis jackets because they might be more confident working around forklifts? Should construction workers not wear helmets because they might be more confident working in areas with falling objects?

And I love the "if something bad happens, it's obviously the rider's fault" mentality here. I guess cars never hit bikes, right? Or bikes hitting other bikes? Or other accidents that, you know, are entirely unavoidable or otherwise have nothing to do with the rider being at fault?

If I was a staff rider, I'd be putting that helmet on and telling Pedal Me to eat an OSHA-sized bag of dicks if they have a problem with it. Banning helmets "for safety reasons" might not be the absolute dumbest thing I've read this year, but it's up there.
The first person fired for wearing a helmet is going to be so damn lucky. That settlement money will end up being equivalent of several lifetimes with of work.
There is absolutely no way that their logic holds up in court.
It’s very hard to fall on your head at 10 mph or greater when jogging
I do a lot of "SEO" work that is basically telling people to not write clear titles for their blog posts like: "3 wild things I learned yesterday" and instead write titles like "How to fix X problem with Y thing".

Similarly a huge amount of "SEO" work now is just telling clients they need to write more articles, use more words per article, write a better quality article, etc.
If you knew ahead of time that it was 50/50, then you could adjust your odds as you went on; i.e., on image 28, if there had been 14 CG ones and 13 human ones, you'd know a priori it had a 2/3 chance of being human.

It would be nice if they told you in more detail how the algorithm worked. How well curated are the AI and human images? It seems like selecting the absolute best AI ones and the worst human ones would make it easy to make things look better than they really are.

A genuinely "fair" way to do it I think would be this:

1. Randomly collect a few thousand images from DeviantArt

2. Ask people to write a short description of each image, similar to the prompts given to DALL-E

3. Generate DALL-E images from all the prompts

Randomly show a human or AI image with 50% probability.

That should give you a good measure of the actual state of the art.
Baskets as aristocratic, culture never ceases to amaze.
And that would be meaningful feedback when we talk about cyborg hourses that OP can try making it faster unlike horses as a species.
It's more like if a delivery company banned their drivers from installing seat belts and airbags. Even if you are a perfect driver, other people aren't and on a bike, your will be the one hurting after a crash.
If you feel strongly about this and have the empirical data to back it up, you should write about that data publicly, post it on HN, call for a shareholder suit. I feel strongly that this is all conspiracy, but of course that’s why we have the legal system and the concept of fiduciary duty.
Read the article. The advantages of the high power density are negated by the inefficiencies of the heat cycle, construction costs etc.

Yes, it makes sense to focus some R&D on nuclear. However after seven decades, it would seem that an alternative to turbines is not so straightforward. The alternatives mentioned in the article are at least a decade (and probably much more) away from commercial use. Even then the other overheads would remain.

As with many engineering problems, an apparently decisive advantage can be overwhelmed by secondary effects.
It's not a binary decision though.

You can have some money in cash, some amount in real estate, gold, crypto...

Depends on how much you have etc. But it's not a "everything has to be crypto" or nothing may.
Yet another example of the terrible and lasting impact the so called
risk compensation myth has had on society. Another great contribution of the Chicago school of Economics to the misery of the world.

I've tried the first time, then just restarted and voted machine every time. 30/30.
I have the exact opposite experience.

My first time ever wearing a helmet on the slopes I slammed head-first into a tree. Got up, laughed it off, and rode away. Better lucky than good.
Quite easy to tell the AI images still, especially those with eyes...the eyes are a dead giveaway on most AI images.
As an active cyclist that was my first thought. Auto drivers texting while driving is my bigger concern. I wear a helmet to hopefully survive that encounter.
No, your cloud environment doesn't need a sandbox
Isn't that what dependabot does?
I'd love a tool that would observe my code during runtime - capturing all inputs and outputs from every function, as well as the value of each variable at each point in the execution flow, and the call graph. Because this would probably incur a performance hit, I'd want to have the option to toggle it on/off.

After execution, I can scroll through a tree of called functions and convert it into permanent "implementation documentation" (saved in a document I can annotate eg. with data flow, and edited when the code itself changes), helping me understand both the structure and dynamic control flow of code I'm learning or relearning after months of absence. I currently do this manually in Google Doc bullets, in order to make sense of legacy code whose control flow is fragmented into many function calls I must piece together mentally (as described in http://number-none.com/blow/john_carmack_on_inlined_code.htm...), and as a starting point for restructuring types and function graphs.
There has been a lot of research that showed that this is possible with relatively little over provisioning for a place like the US or Europe. The thing that is still missing are highly integrated electricity nets, but that is improving raapidely mainly for economic reasons (with a very competitive market and integrated nets one can make quite a bit of money by selling from places we're generation is currently cheap). If we use hydro also for storage (pumping up water when electricity is cheap), you need even less overprovisioning.

This is not a study of biker fatalities and my intuitive guess is they would be significantly higher for bikers without helmets for a number of reasons.
So if a staff rider is hit by a car and they die from their head slapping against the ground, is this not a mega risk to this business that they didn't have a policy to mitigate a simple risk.
Don't you have to have some special tax license to treat earnings that way?

> “I’ve said, ‘We can’t go any further with your treatment until you get your phone use down,’ and they just don’t come back,” she says.

what? this is really strange in my opinion. sure, phone use can be a problem, but i'd imagine it's symptomatic, rather than the only problem on it's own. essentially turning those kids away seems really unhelpful, dangerous even for a school psychiatrist. your goal is to build trust, isn't it?
True. There are some parks with all kinds of exotic birds for human attraction. I get every time seeing all the projects lighting up the ponds and trees. Absolute madness.

The last mile problem with internet and telecommunications to homes has been a battle going on now for decades.

Comcast, Spectrum, Charter, etc all lobbied for laws that said that they “own” the equipment (and poles) going all the way to your house. Not the property owner and certainly not the city/municipality. This is why community fiber has failed here in the US. It would have to be done with entirely new lines and infrastructure not owned by a “utility”.

Worse still is they have lobbied to make sure they AREN’T classified as a utility and be regulated as one.

Are you on a blacklist if you get kicked off? Yes. Though it’s easy to work around it.

I got kicked off because my IP address was the same IP address that someone saw on a torrent tracker. Despite the fact that cable has dynamic IP’s. I eventually fought them and got back on their good side.

So to recap. A community foots the bill for infrastructure, that they’ll never own, to a cable company, who has guaranteed rights through legislation, to own all of the infrastructure including the coaxial cables running to your house. They still want to own your router and modem and your TV. Most people just give it to them. It’s absurd. Using Comcast’s router/modem, on Comcast coaxial, on Comcast utility poles, to a Comcast repeater station, and yet NOT A UTILITY.
> Should we maintain "intuitive" end-user documentation separately?

The answer is a resounding “yes”. Definitions are an important part of API documentation, but user guides and tutorials are equally important if you really want to empower developers. OAS really doesn’t support much additional information outside of definitions and simple descriptions, so complimentary documentation is often needed.
I scored 27/30, with around 12 being human-created.

I've been keeping a close eye on DALL-E 2, especially images posted on Twitter and Reddit[0], and the biggest sign that it's a DALL-E 2 image to me are the edges of objects not being as crisp as you'd expect in a human-created image.

The composition that DALL-E 2 creates is typically fantastic, but it isn't perfect when it comes to the edges, details, and textures (fabric, for example).

I still think it's incredible for inspiration — I don't think a typical artist/designer will use DALL-E 2's output as the final image, but rather as a great starting/mid point for their final image. I can see myself using DALL-E 2 to generate something akin to a wireframe that I'll then go in and add the details to manually.

Maybe relevant: the Netherlands is probably the country with the highest use of bicycles for transport, yet no one, except for cyclists on racing bikes/MTBs or foreign tourists, ever wears a bike helmet. This is because they're only marginally effective at preventing injury, and the disadvantage of reduced cycling use if helmets are mandated results in far worse public health outcomes.

> There were valid reasons to not be friendly to USSR. Does this justify USSR entering friendship pact with Germany, thus enabling it to start the war?

This is not about "friendship pact", this is about non-aggression pact.

Was Poland not justified in entering a non-aggression pact with Germany?

Was France not justified in entering a non-aggression pact with Germany?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement#Consequences

> Never mind that this protection buffer would not have been needed if Germany did not expand its invasion... which it did thanks to USSR siding with it. Dubious twist of logic.

Good questions/points, but we're judging decisions made at the time with the hindsight of decades after the war. I don't think it was clear to anyone who would've joined the war, which sides would've won, and the likelihood of such events.

Every country, depending on the circumstances, was probably trying to do what's best for them. Either avoiding war, or exploiting the messy situation by expanding their territory by annexing small part of neighboring states.

In fact, after seeing what happened to Poland, I think that every party in such agreements realized that they could provide, at best, temporary respite and delay confrontation (but that's not a weird isolated phenomenon: circumstances changes, and that provides ammunition to arguments that old agreements are not valid anymore).

It's not as much to enable other countries' war, but rather to delay one's own involvement in one war.

In fact, the USSR state budget was dedicated to defense for only about ~5%. A confrontation with Nazi Germany at the time would've been disastrous. But in the extra couple of years since, it increased to > 40%

Maybe you can try again? I’m still not sure the point you’re making.

I mean, no, someone who wants to be an engineer won’t choose the trades. But they wouldn’t do it regardless. That’s not the point.
There was a clear career path for anyone out of a job due to photographs though. Become a photographer. Which was a perfectly fine career for a very long time. It still is, really, despite the high quality cameras available to many people, because it requires artistic and technical skill.

The career path for an artist trying to find something else while AI is developing at this pace is...less clear, and definitely scarier.
There's a gem for Ruby that does a limited version of this: https://github.com/testdouble/suture

Suture is geared towards refactoring, so it doesn't do it for every function at once, and instead you have to specify methods manually.
I've wondered about this phenomenon in general, that safety equipment could cause people to take more risks because it makes them feel safer. Many years ago on Monday night football John Madden remarked that some of the hits during games seemed to occur because players felt safe using their body as a missile. The protective gear allowed them to do that, while the old leather helmets of his era did not.

I know I've done incredibly risky things with equipment like wood chippers because I felt like their designs would let me stop them fast enough. I've hung off the back of boats at high speed because I had a GPS tracking radio collar on and felt confident if I fell off they'd find me. These things seemed to make sense at the time.

I've thought for a while that the best safety gear is training. Rail yards to this day show some unbelievably gory videos to inculcate people to the inherent risks present there. High vis gear, helmets, etc all are important but actually knowing the risks and owning them personally is essential.

Little of that seems applicable to this case though. I think wzdd's thinking is most accurate, unhelmeted passengers probably don't feel great looking ahead and seeing their driver's helmeted head.
I used to be an EMT. There was one week when I went to two different calls that illustrated this perfectly. Both riders middle aged, both at low speed. One wearing a helmet hit a pothole and had minor facial injuries despite going over the handlebars. The other no helmet and out of practice fell sideways and the first thing to hit the kerb was her head. She's permanently disabled and living in a care facility.
Unless you're Usain Bolt, you probably ain't jogging or walking at bicycle speeds.
I think the point is that you'll have less traumatic brain injuries without helmets than with helmets because you'll have less accidents over all and less severe ones.

If a cyclist have a helmet he and everyone around him behaves dumber. This was researched.
Especially since its not really a language safety feature. As a reader of code I much prefer knowing what I need to pay much attention and what not. As a writer I want to be reminded when I promised myself to not touch a variable.
> Are you trying to say the law should prohibit helping people who handcuffed themselves and then lost the key?

No, because metal handcuffs are not (and will never be) people, so that's quite uncontroversial. A more instructive example would be a 7 year old child super-glueing their hands to the hands of their mother (as some kind of prank). I think we'd all agree that the law shouldn't permit anyone to "help" the mother by amputating the child's hands.

> it lacks the property defining a person: brain activity.

I'm not sure what counts as "brain activity" to you, but "Ultrasounds can reveal the embryo moving as early as 6 weeks after conception (or 8 pregnancy weeks), detecting the electrical impulses that govern movement and indicating that the brain is beginning to function."[0]

> fundamentalist newspeak, invented to distort reality; kind of like “unborn child”

The adjective "unborn" only became necessary because these were the specific subset of children whose right to life were being ignored. It's like how we didn't use the term "World War I" until there was a second one. If abortion were legal after the child is born but before they could feed themselves, we would need a name like "dependent child" to refer to them as a legal class of citizen.

The very idea of bodily freedom implies the right to not be aborted.

I'd find it nice to have a VS Code plugin to hide assertions. Specifically in Python, I see myself writing asserts to check for data boundaries, numpy array sizes, data types.

It takes space and diatracts a bit.

Bonus points if I could have a, for example "# /assertion_func" comment that would label a whole function to be folded together with asserts.

Yup. This is exactly what we do at work. At least the past few years, most people couldn't tell the difference. We pump them out. It's 80% as good as something way harder to make. But by now people have seen so many, maybe they're starting to tire of it.

I suspect the data teams have a lot of sway at netflix right at the top exec levels. I know this anecdotally since I am close to someone who has approached Netflix and was told it wont work for them.

Their reasoning was as simple as it can get. Their data showed what shows people liked in terms of genres and runtimes.

That might seem reasonable for short term gains until you realise how silly it is for longevity.

Senior partners in law firms also have specializations. That’s one of the ways how flat organizations self organize. People specializing in tax law aren’t in competition with people specializing in divorce etc. Further they can keep slicing the law into ever smaller specializations which ends up improving the firms reputation.

Aka go to a big firm and someone is more likely to specialize in exactly the issue you’re having.
