The problem is not his younger self having fun. It's this article trying to normalize that crazy violent insane festival.
He had fun, ok, but why write this just to still say that yeah ppl got hurt, but I had fun.
Why? What's the purpose? Does he feel blamed for enjoying himself so he writes this as some weird unwarranted self justification?

Oh, and no, I've been to plenty of massive festivals, there were no robberies, no looting, no fires, no rapes.
I’ve serviced my poor Corolla once in 10 years.
That service was NZ$1500.

It’s hard to believe my maintenance costs could fall. But it would be really nice if they do.
Does it cost 22% less to service an EV vs a Japanese ICE car?
Guess why - because the East Asian customers want thinness and lightness over power. I know because in Japan, when people saw my Mac (a 2013 MBP), first they were like "oh a Mac, can I try it?", but as soon as they held it, they were extremely surprised by its weight (compared to some 11" Toshiba notebook they preferred). It's understandable because in Japanese and Chinese cities, city people rarely drive but lug around their computers in bags, up and down stairs, standing for 1-2 hours in the crowded subway, etc.
I think Musk's counterclaims are more interesting than Twitter's response. Here's the summary of the five counterclaims:

* Twitter committed fraud by lying to the SEC about the mDAU numbers with the intent of inducing Musk to buy Twitter at an inflated price. No, really, this is the allegation (see paragraphs 202-206).

* Count 2 is that Twitter committed [Texas fraud statute] by lying when it offered its shares. It's shotgun-pled, so I don't know which specific statements are supposed to be wrong, but I'm imagining it's basically the previous count recast under a different statute.

* Count 3 says that Twitter broke the contract by failing to provide information.

* Count 4 says that Twitter broke the contract by instituting a hiring freeze. [not gonna fly, especially when Musk admitted that Twitter gave him warning of what it was doing and Musk didn't respond. Did I mention that Musk's answer admits far more than I would have expected?]

* Count 5 is pretty please declare that Twitter lying about mDAUs is a materially adverse event that is cause to break the contract.

I still can't get over the banana-pants insanity of the first count... arguing that Twitter lied about its numbers for years specifically so that someone would buy it at an inflated price?
How are you supposed to bite that burger in the picture without unhinging your jaw?

Big burgers should be wider, not taller.

Does it? Didn't it enjoy the power to print infinite amounts of money thanks to oil trade being done exclusively in dollars just until a few months ago? Something which no other civilization, less, society, enjoyed ever in human history?
My guess is that they have few users using Firefox plus either (a) some Firefox-specific vuln was blown way out of proportion, enough to get Legal to block this browser, or (b) their front-end devs haven't discovered Playwright yet and don't know how to run e2es against it, which MBNA considers a non-starter

Either way, horrible decision on their part, especially now that firefox usage might be ramping up due to Manifest v3 concerns
Right. Also what defines AI? If I ask DALL-E to draw me a fancy gearbox for an EV and it does and then I use that as inspiration to create a new type of gearbox, did I create it or did DALL-E? If I ask a similar tool to create a fancy shape for a fancy gear I want in a mechanism is my idea now tainted by AI? If my CAD software incorporates a CAD equivalent of copilot, can I no longer use that?

Maybe it’s not the AI we should get rid of but patents?
this is just an old tale, testing shows it doesn't matter
You are not following what I am saying. I agree that corporations shouldn’t be able to spend unlimited money on politics.
It's a little unfair to pretend that the author said "they've never offered anything of value," rather than stating that their offering is worse than taxi services now. Taxi services have improved in several ways since Uber's debut, including with apps.

Still, the author explains later in the piece why he believes the service is worse, and it's because Uber has given up one of its key advantages over taxi services, and riders are now less likely to be able to catch Uber rides to out of the way destinations--just like with taxis, but at a higher price.
Yep. I find it kind of surprising that this is news. There are so many companies where nothing but Windows is allowed, but not allowing Windows in one corporation with a major Microsoft-owned competitor is the issue?
Do you mean he only recently got overconfident? Just a reminder that he already got fined $40 million for his "going private at 420" joke.
I'd definitely recommend Twitter as someone else has already suggested; you can learn about whatever you want on Twitter and Reddit for the most part once you start digging.
I want to add that stupid people have a natural advantage in doing these videos which is alarming.

This is released under Apache 2.0 though, so Amazon could just do what they always do and repackage/sell it under a different name as an AWS product.

One day I found my google voice app had a ton of saved voicemails before I made the switch to iPhone, hearing my father’s clear and distinct voice in a voicemail, after years of hushed tones from his hemorrhagic stroke that disabled him really gutted me. Please start recording and documenting their lives today because we are all living on borrowed time and tomorrow is not promised.

Please don’t disappoint me. Thank you.

I really don't understand why people pick licenses that specifically allow for things that they don't want to happen. It's specially baffling when the author is clearly aware of the limitation!
Model 3 owner. It really doesn't present a safety situation for me. I glance at the screen for speed and maps as you would a dashboard. I use the click wheels on the steering wheel to adjust music, volume and autopilot speed.

It's super fun when parked to have the big screen and play games with the kids, it adds a ton of bonding time that would otherwise be not quite as fun.

I wouldn't mind a physical wheel similar to the newer Ford Explorer's where a rotatable wheel is affixed over the touch screen so that it feels like it's part of the touch screen.

And we won't see it from any big name company, since nearly everything is manufactured, in part or whole, in China.
I think the design is brilliant.

Nice 4:3 ratio. This essentially doubles as a full screen you can put anywhere with a keyboard always at hand. That's how I use my laptop 99.9% of the time.

The microsoft book is already better than a regular clamshell in my eyes for versatility, but If you ignore the price for a moment (which brings the book to ridicolous costs), IMHO this design beats a clamshell design in versatility a 1000 times over, and the detachable screen design as well.
The bigger question is did the thousands of drawings of gears used to train the model in the first place and their creators have any rights to their derivative works.

Given the AI's output using the trained weights of its models were in part deduced using their works as training examples, one could argue that creators of the example pictures should have some portion of rights on any output from the AI Model... maybe...
We are in a world, where left pad was opensource, question must always be why is it closed source. I mean not to say closed is bad, but a question is good.
> Musk has no legal standing to use any of that to back out of the merger.

The claim is that Twitters SEC filings had bots at ~5%, and Musk made the investment based on that. From the leaked recordings of staff, everyone knew that the percentage was much higher.
And people have been claiming this is a near future problem to think seriously about since the days CLIPS was state-of-the-art AI that would soon make doctors obsolete.

When we'll have anything resembling an AI that actually wants things, it will make sense to discuss about its rights. The current state of the art in AI is that we can generate sentences that match a given context. There are a few billion steps left from here to there.
I am completely fine paying $2000 if I feel like it is a decent product. The problem is I don't think it is good enough to actually use on a regular basis. I wouldn't even pay the non-US price ($1300) for the US version.

Some of these things may have been fixed, but last time I looked there were multiple issues that make it a deal breaker. The battery life is not good, the phone is huge, app compatibly is not good, cooling issues, etc.

I prefer to buy Western made products even if they cost quite a bit more money. I just want to get a decent product for the price and I don't think the Librem 5 is worth anywhere near the price.
Nope it’s true ! https://twitter.com/jkylebass/status/1555538870359433222
This is brought up often on discussions about Taiwan and China. To be clear, the vast majority of politicians in Taiwan do not actually believe they wield power over mainland China. That Taiwan still calls itself “Republic of China” is because mainland China has made it clear that a name change would be seen as a Declaration of Independence and a trigger for war.

The situation is akin to someone held hostage at gunpoint telling you they’re fine.
A hobbyist film maker probably won't use this directly, but it will likely find its way into software that they do use at some point.
That is:

1. Only true if there's copious amounts of oil to absorb the seasoning. Otherwise it might get absorbed by the rendered fat of the burger. Sometimes 50% or more of it gets lost, sometimes less.

2. It is better to underseason than overseason. If you overseason, you end up with an inedible salt mess. If you underseason, all it takes is a quick sprinkle before you eat it.

That being said, I think the picture in #6 looks perfectly fine. I'd use a dash more of pepper though.

Good morning! Always fun to come back and see a pretty straightforward comment getting downvoted to oblivion. :-)

To be clear, I wasn't saying the current state of affairs was a good thing, I was simply stating in detail that Google is still a gargantuan machine. Unless a competitor is somehow able to fire a couple of torpedoes down a hidden exhaust port, they're all going to be outgunned for the foreseeable future. But sure, the unpredictable vagaries of public sentiment could somehow turn against them, I guess. I mean, it's going to be a while. Their company name is a verb.
There are good arguments from both sides of the fence in the “generic solution” VS “custom solution” debate. I think the decision should be made on a case by case basis after sufficient analysis has been conducted. For example, I wouldn’t do an RTS/Total War type game in either of the 3 aforementioned engines. Also it should be noted that sign of the times is that we’ll be getting less AAA games, not more. It’s clear that those huge budget games carry substantial risk if not successful (hence early incremental updates, DLC, mico-transactions etc.) and studios are weary of that.

For CD Project the move to Unreal might make sense just from labour market perspective - it’s easier to hire programmers for Unreal than to train programmers to learn and develop your own in-house engine. Larger community and support already exists for Unreal etc. That move will affect their bottom line on their next games though. 5% is nothing to scoff at for a big product from a big company.

In any case, I’d advise caution to companies relying entirely on a single platform for their business. To echo my previous statement choosing only between Android and iOS for mobile is an illusion of choice. If you’re a mobile game dev your entire business relies on two relatively hostile companies.

I have a large home with large open spaces and little clutter on the floor. But I'd need something like 8 Roombas to cover it all because of the changes in levels, doors that are normally closed, etc.

Also, as a semi-wealthy person with a large home, I hire people to clean it including vacuuming, and I don't need an annoying robot roaming the house to do it.
Wow....I was expecting $50k-$60k. I have no idea how they expect this car to sell unless they're taking the boutique "roadster" approach that Tesla did to get a foot in the market.

The difference between this and the Roadster is that, the Roadster was cool, this is...goofy looking and practical.

I can see this appealing to the "hyper-miler" crowd, but that's not the crowd that would want to or could drop six figures on a car.

Ask HN: Is there a site where a crowd can vote on which A/B site looks better?
I want to be able to test (and prove to others) which version of a site looks better. Maybe asking specific questions, as well. Like 1, 2, 3 or 4 versions side by side. And people answer a couple questions about each, or just vote which one they "like" to look at the most, which one looks more "professional", etc.

Ideally, such a site would already exist (sort of FaceMash for designs, or HotOrNot for designs) and would have a large crowd already, which logs in and gets a bunch of random things to vote for. Random with a limit of N per day because we don't want people to game the system by inviting their friends to vote for a specific one.
That's the synonyms thing; I was asking about inflected forms (dogs, dogging, dogged) and compounds containing the word (doghouse).

What AMD's Earnings Report Says About Intel
I have a new mercedez with a fully digital dash, 360 degree cameras, etc.

I find it incredibly helpful and not distracting at all.
I think that's a bit naïve, considering how common it is to see modern tech and basic/traditional crimes intersect - from ATM card cloning, to using Tor+cryptocurrencies for buying drugs, car key fob hacking, etc.

Sure the people who currently buy data on the black market won't all start robbing houses, and the people currently robbing houses won't all start buying illegal data to help their burgling.

But as long as the economics make sense (and it likely would - once someone has a bunch of useful data that they want to sell illegally, they'll lower the price until it is worth being bought by people), some burglars definitely will start adding more intelligence to their planning including using black market data leaks for picking houses to target and for how/when to rob them, what items to look for, etc.

And potentially you also get other people for whom burglary wasn't a feasible option before, but combined with this new tool might be. Personally I'm not going to become a burglar for ethical reasons, but for the sake of a hypothetical let's pretend that I have no ethics whatsoever and think that stealing is a fantastic idea as long as I can avoid getting caught. I still wouldn't rob houses, because it would seem like quite a risky way of making money, and with each big risk taken there's a fair chance of not even finding anything particularly valuable once you've broken into a house.

But if I could buy data leaks that I trusted which told me which houses to rob to find the best ROI items (high value, easy to carry, and maybe even located thanks to the camera of a robot vacuum), and also told me when people would be home and would be asleep.... well maybe my hypothetical no-ethics self would still find a better crime to commit, but it'd be a hell of a lot more tempting to become a burglar than without all that data!

Do you really think there haven't already been crimes committed that involves basic dumb theft but where the targets were chosen based off a leaked list of car purchases, or jewellery shop customers, or...? And not just in the era of digital data theft, go back a thousand years and I'd assume there were some "crimes of opportunity" committed not on a whim but thanks to planning enabled only by the studying of information they shouldn't have been in possession of.
Agreed, it could work that way (but doesn't). As a computational linguist who has worked a lot in morphology, I support this :).
That's not what the SEC filings say. The SEC filings say that up to 5% of the number of monetizable daily active users (i.e., the number of users after eliminating bots) may be bots--or, in other words, the techniques that Twitter uses to detect bots have up to a 5% false negative rate.

No one is saying that 5% of Twitter's users is bots, except for when Musk is trying to put those words into Twitter's beak.
> That's basically the herd mentality I'm talking about - people wanting to live in the same areas.

Call it what you will, but people generally want to live around other people - preferably people they care about but at least people who are not dangerous to them or impose much social or financial cost on them.

> People don't want to live there because nobody is moving there and making improvements.

Actually many previously declining places have reached critical mass and people are making improvements and attracting more people. But those places (i.e. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati), are sucking up most of the interest and creating their own gravity, leaving little left for Youngstown and Flint.

> It's easier to just move where everyone else is moving.

Of course it's easier - it's simple economies of scale. People seek access to physical and social resources. Raw land or emptied cities and towns with crumbling infrastructure don't provide that.

“Corporate personhood” is just a fancy legal word for “group of people”. And “legal person” is just a fancy shortening of “anything that can interact with the court system, whether a single person or a group of people”

People get very caught up on the legalese but it is perfectly logical when you move past that.

Yes, if 10 people form a corporation, that is 11 entities recognizable by a court system that has first amendment rights. All 10 humans can criticize the president at home, and you can do so work in an official capacity without your corporation facing consequences.
It is a good thing to preempt any legal issues by being explicit in how new technology fits in with existing legal frameworks, even if the change is likely a NOOP.

If, 20 years ago, you were to write a program that used an optimization algorithm to design the optimal cup for drinking coffee, the patent would go to you, not the code you wrote. Today, you could do the same thing but call the program an "AI" and perhaps get a different outcome.

Just to put this in perspective: if your net worth is $100,000, this is the equivalent of being fined $14.

It's good to see companies freeing important software like this. That shows other companies and everyone else that you can do that without too much risk and that it might even give you benefits. I think many companies are afraid of doing it and I think this is how we can show them that there is no problem with doing it (and if there is a problem, we will learn that; we learn something either way).

Since free software is so important to many people and one of the biggest questions about how the digital society should work, it's crucial that we explore the possibilities of releasing free software. I'm tired of the current situation where on one side we have a ton of software and on the other side people who can't use that software because of how unethical or impractical it is. We need to find something that works for everyone and this is a step in that direction.
