The promises of self driving cars have always seemed weird to me. Sure, I would love to have a world where all cars are self driving. The security benefits seem large.

But decreasing congestion? We already know how to do that, and in many ways it seems like a safer bet than some kind of technogy with large problems and even larger unknowns; public transport.

Cheap, well developed, reliable public transport will beat autonomous cars on throughput and resource use any day.

I use my Apple Watch which displays large format directions during navigation and gives you a little tap on the wrist when you're nearing a turn. Works great for driving cars or motorcycles, riding bikes, and walking.
That’s more “put up for rent” than “for sale”, so the price you would be willing to pay wouldn’t be the total value of the trademark, but the value for a year (typically a lower value)

On the other hand, losing the trademark likely would bankrupt you. You’d have to find a new domain, rebrand your website (breaking all bookmarks your users have, links they have in mails you sent them, etc) and social media accounts overnight, repaint all your trucks, refurnish your offices, throw away your company envelopes and letterhead, etc.

⇒ I think this is a good way to kill all business.

Also, consider the effect on hiring. “I see you worked at Google. What kind of company was that when you worked there?” or “why did you switch employer so often? I didn’t; ‘Foo’ became ‘Bar’ became ‘Baz’ became ‘Foo’ again”.

In this scenario the current owner would then have to come up with $505k every year to hold onto their little boutique brand. Or possibly more every year if Hershey's ratcheted up the bid. If they held out more than a few years then even with the terminal payout, they would end up paying more than they would've earned from just giving into Hershey's in the first place.

I am very comfortable with this model.
On the other hand, Rust's macros enable one to use future language features without ever touching the compiler.
yes that is my experience as well. Additionally it will get into some other tangent like if you are providing some online service people will ask about self hosting, if you give them binaries for self-hosting they will ask about source code, if you give source-code they will crib about gpl/agpl etc. :-)
> As a US citizen living in Sweden, my bank also wants to know if a customer is a US citizen, because special regulations apply.
> For the above scenario to work, the EU Digital ID wallet will have to store citizenship information, including potentially multiple citizenships.

You can’t proof a negative (absence of US citizenship). Today, your bank will ask you to sign an affirmation whether you hold US citizenship or not. I don’t expect anything to change about this in the future, you’ll just sign it digitally. However money laundry laws do require positive identification of the customer. Today, when opening a bank account digitally, this requires a video call where I’m ask to hold my ID card to my forehead.

> That's not how it works now. A diploma in one country doesn't necessarily translate to something directly in another country.

I agree the diploma use-case is rather less useful (how often do you need to present your academic credentials to anyone?) but there’s a difference between “I hold this German degree” and “my German degree is suffice to exercise licensed profession X in Sweden”. The digital wallet would only do the former.
Sure. But random employees also have the right to quit, if they don't like that meddling.
There seems to be two subtly different definitions of steel manning.

The first one, and the one I think should always be done, is to engage with the best argument that has actually been presented by someone holding the opposing view.

The second version, and this one I don't fully understand, seems to involve defining your own strongest argument for the other view.

This version, in my experience, can go a few directions. Most often it turns into a more elaborate version of strawmanning ("and so we see, even with this strongest possible argument it still fails!"). It can also be a way toward compromise ("so if you're right, this much more limited form of my proposal still has value"). Or it can go to talking past each other (refuting vegetarianism without touching on the suffering of animals because you don't care about that, but many vegetarians do).

The first version is a requisite for truly debating rather than sloganeering. The second version is a mixed bag.
That use case chart is kind of interesting.

Like, it's not a flat URI scheme leaving structure up to controllers. But it's also not a fully defined ontology.

Pick a use case description in section three. Any one. Each one could provoke an entire domain-specific organization into heated arguments about subrequirements and subsubrequirements.

Even if this recommendation doesn't make it, it's neat.

Any way you turn you walk into this system, right?
Judging by the amount of gaslighting and flippant remarks in this thread, we're also going to need a wide angle shot of Tim Cook himself dispensing the thermal paste syringe, while wearing his Apple badge and holding up another form of government-issued ID and that morning's newspaper.
There are entire schools of economic thought about that question. In the classical view, it's your labour power. In the neoclassical view, it's the scarcity of the labour you produce.

“So Vic, we have an urgent issue, one that I need addressed right away. I’ve already assigned someone from my team to help you, and I hope you can fix this tomorrow” said Steve.

“I’ve been looking at the Google logo on the iPhone and I’m not happy with the icon. The second O in Google doesn’t have the right yellow gradient. It’s just wrong and I’m going to have Greg fix it tomorrow. Is that okay with you?”
Of course this was okay with me.
This question boils down to "How do you market something?" Ideally, talk to an experienced marketer who knows the domain. They're going to give you much better advice than randoms on HN (although, HN being what it is, the founder of a successful productivity app company might reply... :) )

More generally, if anyone has an idea for a side project or a startup that they're thinking about at the moment, and they don't have an answer to the question of "What's the route to market for this?" then you should seriously consider answering that before writing a single line of code or designing a single screen. Thousands of amazing startups run out of money and shut down because they couldn't answer this question every year. It's important to figure it out as early as possible. It's the source of all your customers, your feedback from real users, and the life blood of your business - revenue.
This might have been a reasonable rationale before the Ukraine war and before the West and Russia went into a pretty much open cyber war against each other. Right now, it's really not a good idea to use a security product from a Russian company (unless you're living in Russia, North Korea, Syria, or Iran, of course).
But it's not nearly as profitable…

But you have to give up point to point, of course the overall throughput is better but the individual experience is (perceived) worse. This is why I love the idea of "public luxury" make sitting on a train or a bus nicer than sitting in a brand new mercedes.
Wow. I've just for the first time ever realised that you might be able to derive the content of the SMS from the specific pattern of interference you would hear on speakers.

Genuine question, what is lobbying if not legalized bribery? It’s hard to think it’s anything else when things like this happen - https://youtu.be/CARiB_eYwys
If you make it your policy to treat one group as suspicious, you'll catch a lot more people from that group. Isn't that what the police has been doing for decades?

So what kind of AI would you train with the resulting dataset? The AI doesn't know about the crimes you let slide or didn't investigate. It will reproduce whatever bias you based your policing on.
Starting a sentence with `You` is a signal to revaluate that sentence. It comes across as rude.

When we were designing the EU DCC we explicitly choose not to go down the path of the then-nascent w3c verifiable credentials using DIDs. There was a hard lobby from the blockchain bullshitters but they couldn't explain things without a lot of hand waving and technobabble so :)

There's a reason why our spec (EU-DCC) is a global standard: we build on proven technology, we're explicit, and we're not open to allow anyone and their dog to become a "trust anchor". That trust is earned, there are standards you need to follow and keep following to earn that.

DIDs are a wild west and clearly a not-too-unsubtle attempt by the crypto bros to sneak a cash-cow into standards.

The spec reads like it's written by a group of hyperactive kids in a sugar rush.
The L2 systems built on bitcoin have faults, but centralization is not one of them. You don’t go custodial when you put bitcoin into a lightning channel.
Like I said in my original comment: I'm sure there are a ton of interesting jobs at meta, no doubt - but they are the "meta" jobs of meta. In terms of driving their primary objective it's nothing that innovative from a technical perspective. Their innovation is solely rooted in behavioral psychology. Not self-driving cars, not better medical devices, not VR technology (well, OK, they bought their way into that). The prime directive at facebook is to keep people on facebook.

They've definitely been responsible for pushing web technologies forward -- but all in the name of increased engagement. Let's not pretend there is an altruistic angle to this.
The statistics we have about self driving are kinda useless though. Teslas don't do intersections… which is where most accidents will happen. So yeah good they don't crash because they give up in the difficult situations.

I'm surprised that nobody is questioning this. Zuckerberg owns ~17% of Meta shares, so it quite clearly not "his" company where he can do whatever he pleases. Primarily he is an employee and has a responsibility to the owners (which does include him) to do his job, arguably looking at button padding is not part of his job description.
Crime statistics can absolutely be racist. The police as a force and as individuals choose which crimes to respond to, and with what intensity.

Say for example that a white guy smoking a joint gets a slap on the wrist, and the black guy gets the book thrown at him.

What would an AI derive from what it's given?

Crime stats aren't collected in a scientific vacuum. They reflect the previous strategies the police used to fight crimes.
You mean 'the git way', all GitHub's doing is looking at commit authors (different from commit committers).

A checked in file with a list of names is not the way to record that, I don't blame Neovim for removing it since that's basically useless anyway.
I think this is a pretty good way to do layoffs because it gives people more agency over whether they get laid off and more runway to make contingency plans
One of the neovim devs released a video just a couple of days ago on the topic.

He suggests neovim (and vim, emacs etc) fall into a category between text editor and IDE.

The term he uses is PDE (personalised development environment). In short, you have lots of power to customise your setup; you can give it some IDE-like behaviour but the way you do it tends to be by making personal choices of plugins and config.

It's not just a text editor, it's definitely not 'integrated'. I'm inclined to agree with him.

Let me share my recent story

It took me 176 days to sign up 100 people to https://skilledup.life as Volunteers, which will help them to gain real Experience to improve their career prospects.

I started SkilledUp Life all by myself and went live on 1st Aug 2020. Then hired Mithun in Nov, when I really struggled to get traction.

I was only spending few hours per day on SkilledUp Life back then. Even with a full time employee, we could not get the numbers. Then we started to use our own Volunteers and started to build a team.

We had a simple goal of convincing 1000 people to sign up in the first 12 months. We achieved this task with great difficulty with 24 hours to go. We could not have achieved this without our volunteers. From month 10 to 12, we had a team of about 7 to 8 Volunteers if I recall, from Brazil to Philippines.

Today, we have 7,555 Volunteers from 85 countries. You can subscribe to https://skilledup.life for £30/month. Once subscribed, all talent is free.

You can then build a user acquisition team that could approach your target customers/users one to one to get the 100. Whilst they are working on this, you can add more volunteers to improve your website, write content, SEO, social media marketing, etc.

Your founder journey no longer needs to be as hard as mine was. All the best.

1) hell yes starlinks will be shared by entire remote villages, it happened in the volcano eruption in Tonga.

2) starlink would love the positive press of third world connectivity enablement

3) remember, starlink is a low-flying satellite flotilla. So the satellites over remote expansive areas aren't being used as much, and so revenue from central africa can be priced differently to get whatever you can out of the geographic areas the satellites fly over.

Revenue is revenue, even if it's only 10% of your US revenue. As you say, the goal will be to get revenue for the time the satellite is aloft. If you get a million/day while it passes over the US, then 100,000/day as it passes over South America, well, that's still money.

Africa is 1.2 billion people, South America is 422 million, the satellites fly over regardless. 1.6 billion people is a lot of potential revenue, even if third world.
Why is the mother's choice to have sex relevant?

If you believe that abortion is murder, how the child came to be is irrelevant.

The only way that the mother's conscious choice to have sex factor's into the equation is if the intent of abortion laws is not to protect children, but rather to punish women who choose to have sex.
We Asked GPT-3 to Write an Academic Paper about Itself–Then Got It Published
No one was talking about CO2 in 1963 other than a few scientists. It didn't reach critical mass until the late 80s. The law was written for known pollutants at the time. Congress is just going to have to add to the powers of the EPA, it's as simple as that.
It was true when they wrote the rule back in NT 4 days I suspect. It might have been true still in 2005 when they wrote that blog post.

So many concerns about this one...

- what is the metric exactly?

- what does 90% mean, is it bad or good? That depends on the baseline and the prior distributions.

- on what dataset is the 90% computed? On past crimes? What about sampling bias in this dataset? What if the data focuses on some specific neighborhoods (oh wait...)? What about missing crimes in the data?

In ML, data should fairly well represent a phenomenon and in this case, it does not represent crime occurrence, it only represents crimes detected and documented.
I think a lot of people consider murderers as less than human, and reflect that in the way they talk about them and the punishments they should face.

I think a lot of people consider homosexuals as deviants and in some way less than human, also. They might not say it openly but they think it.

That's pithy but a characterisation that misses many important aspects.

Bram's been developing Vim for 30 years [0]. Just think about that for a second. An open source project that's been running for longer than the age of probably 50% of the readership on hackers news. It's ways of working and values have been developed over a long period of time.

Vim favours being available on multiple platforms, alignment with Unix tradition and stability:

> Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. (https://www.vim.org/about.php)

Neovim is built by people who value fullness of features, who see multi-platform as 'legacy platforms' and are happy to break backwards compatiblity for the value of making something more complete by contemporary standards.

The easiest summary is - Bram's comparison is Vi, Neovim teams' comparison is VS Code.

I love many of the NeoVim's new features and capabilities.

But, I think it's possible to like Neovim while also understanding the positive value of Vim and why their approach is different. There's something in the human condition about turning everything into a winner and loser, a hero or a villain - but it's just not true.

As a project that's been running for 30 years Bram and that community have an approach that they are comfortable with. There's a way of working, and a rhythm to the project that has worked over the long-term. They're evaluation of changes is against their own internal values - those values are different to the people that are working on Neovim. Personally, to me 30 years of effort and contribution to providing something totally free is unbelievable.

All incorporated companies exists in similar space where they are implicitly and explicitly beholden to the government governing the nation they are incorporated in, that's just how running a legal business is.

Best we can do is get information from multiple sources and build an independent understanding from the information.

Worst we can do is trusting single entities without any verification from others, no matter where the incorporation is made.

As we did very little to train the model, the outcome was not, contrary to GPT-3s own assessment, well done. The article lacked depth, references and adequate self analysis.

What a happy world. There's enough interference in cabling, but most time it's not enough to cause any issues. Had a case once where an AP with PoE did not work properly (started, then died, repeat) and the issue was that we had to much cable somewhere and rolled it. Interference caused issues, despite using STP and Cat. 6...
