Absolutely insane. Country's debt soars, inflation is higher than it's been in the last 40 years, and Biden's idea of good policy is to pay off debt for people who make bad choices and continue to postpone federal loan payments.

I constantly hear that this is a good thing and I shouldn't be upset that I spent years of my life living on beans and rice to pay off my debts. I was fortunate that I was able to work my way into my position now where I am quite comfortable. We shouldn't reward people for poor choices. That includes both students taking $XXX,XXX dollars for a worthless degree, and the lenders who funded them because the government made it so the debt is LITERALLY risk-free.

A better solution would be to allow students to declare bankruptcy. Instead of forcing the lenders to make better choices on who they fund (which should honestly only be degrees with an NPV > 0), they punish the middle class again with yet another regressive tax.
Yep. That's why I write most of my logic in stored procedures. Working with tables and queries is so much easier in PL/pgsql than dealing with ORMs and their leaky abstractions.

My application code just calls stored procedures. It's unaware of the tables and underlying data model.

Surreal to see the NYT linking to Lesswrong. Pretty cool though.
Comments on this article are currently quite disappointing, with several jabs at the NYT.
What I don't see are any substantial critiques of the actual article. I think the main points it makes, that we need to do better at communication and the media should also try and better-relate progress are good ones. I also think that for most people who aren't clued in with the current SOTA results, someone with, say, a 2018-understanding of AI, the current progress is remarkable and shouldn't be downplayed/poo-pooed just because you might have a better understanding of how the systems work.
>"why do we as a society in various countries require poor people to buy a car in order to participate in society?"

I believe this framing is wrong. "Participating in society" is a loaded term because it is so ambiguous. I believe the truth of the matter is the owning a vehicle enables so much more movement and activity.

>"Maybe instead of doing that, we should treat cars as luxury objects and an after-thought and instead actually build correctly and in a equitable and affordable way?"

I get the sentiment, but I find it to be glib because it glosses over why this would be so hard to implement, and how we got to this situation in the first place. In a way, it seems like "Instead of things being bad, why don't we make things good?"

Here's the NYT doing Google a big favor, by diverting attention from a very pressing issue with Google search, Religious Discrimination inherent in their services.

>Then there’s Google’s LaMDA, an A.I. model that made headlines a couple of months ago when Blake Lemoine, a senior Google engineer, was fired after claiming that it had become sentient.

It was his whistle-blowing in relation to religious issues[1], something Google can't really fix, but legally MUST fix, that put them into a huge bind.

"The suspension came a day after he handed over documents to a US senator, which Lemoine claimed contained evidence that Google's technology had been involved in instances of religious discrimination, The New York Times previously reported."

Well you obviously made someone unhappy so there is a chance you are not as perceptive as you think. Statistics says that cyclists are like most other road users. The chance that the cyclists around you are different is a lot less likely than you cherry picking situations.

With that said, people do stupid things there are always outliers.

Ask HN: What is your most recent work-related frustration?
I won't beat around the bush. What is an ETH worth? There are not details about the economics, just the ecosystem, which is replicated across more thoughtful platforms. I personally prefer Cardano, since the software itself has a better foundation, and the fixed supply implies some urgency in adoption.

$53,731.20 is enough USD for me to keep my t2.micro up for 300 years, so is there some mathematical guarantee that means there's any value in adopting ETH immediately?
What does build in a equitable way mean?
I like to use the fact that you can't actually touch anything as an analogy for my thoughts on free will. Atoms repel each other and so when you place your finger on something, it can never really make contact. Likewise, we can't really decide anything; our decisions are just a product of our brain and environment. But I think it's silly to say we can't touch things or decide things. The repulsion by the atomic forces is what we really mean when we say "touch", and the way our brains respond to the environment is what we mean by "decide". The words still have meaning even though we have a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms behind them.

I also like to point out that although we may not have free will, we still are not fully predictable as the universe is fundamentally non-deterministic.

It goes over my head, but those with a better understanding of quantum mechanics should check out the Free Will Theorem lectures by John Conway for interesting thoughts on the subject.
I have to wonder if that's part of the paperwork at a dealership now.

"Sign this paper that says BMW/GM/Toyota/etc still owns and retains control over hardware X/Y/Z. You may utilize this part of your car as long as you continue paying $xx subscription fee."

In the good old days, you paid a dealership for a car and you had a car. Everything in the car was yours to use within the legal system of the country in which you reside. That you're now signing away your own rights in order to buy a car is not a good direction.
It's easier to explain a 66% attract. The censored chain produce the double of blocks of the censored one. Each time the uncensored chain produce a block it's ignored by the censored one.

So after a time, they are behind and have to jump to the other chain and ignore their own old blocks. Something like this graph:

Censored blocks: -

Uncensored Fork blocks: \

Uncensored Normal blocks: *

Censored: *--------------------------
Uncensored: \** \* \*** \** \*
But since they paid that even if the owner never uses the heated seats and so never subscribes, it should be counted against the sale price of the vehicle itself and not against the subscription.
Anything under the inflation rate, which was 10% annual during that period, is free money.
NNs only ended up working (at the level of human performance) because of 60+years of research punctuated by periods of very little interest (including times when GP/GA were being explored widely in the literature). And a bunch of that research was in entirely different areas, like GPUs, which went through many cycles of refinement for gaming and HPC before the DL people recognized its utility.

To achieve parity, GPs and GAs would need demonstrations on the level of what was seen about 10 years ago in NNs, then enough people would get involved to start doing more tech dev to make the hardware do GAs really, really, really fast.

The old Yank Tanks are simple and easy to service with some basic mechanical skill and tools. Spare parts can even be fabricated if necessary. But ICE vehicles built in the last couple decades have become exponentially more complex. They're more reliable, but also more fragile and harder to repair. This is particularly a problem for proprietary electronic parts such as control modules. Once replacement parts are no longer available from the manufacturer it will become impractical to keep those ICE cars running.

None of what you said has to do with the reality of the matter, nor does you trying to flip the script change things. Look past your own emotions instead of trying to low blow immediately.

Comment in question claims people are more empathetic because individuals seem to switch between biking and driving cars almost daily. This is not happening. Live a 30 minute drive away from work, most individuals would take the bike every weekend at best. Most individuals do in fact live that far from work. Furthermore, car usage continues to increase, and roads continue to be expanded as a result. You can say all you want, most individuals are not going to cycle after an 8 hour workday and spending at least an hour commuting.

>While cyclists should indicate, the nature of the vehicle

>why do cars attempt to pull up in front of me anyhow?

Way too focused on cyclist vs vehicle. There are plenty of roads where it isn't always obvious which way someone is going, no matter cyclist or vehicle. These are old roads, but they exist nonetheless. Vehicles are actively punished for not indicating, cyclists are not. Both are hazards for everyone else, themselves and pedestrians included. That's not exactly something that would instill empathy.

That should also make it obvious the inverse situation doesn't create empathy either. It's a two-way street and neither is particularly giving to the other. That has nothing to do with automobile vs cyclist vs pedestrian vs whatever, it has to do with.. who would've guessed, people being people.

Why do you think laws were made to accommodate cyclists in particular? Why do you think lanes are split? Why do you think many individuals have a particular distaste for sport cyclists, who go high speed through busy roads and expect everyone to adapt to them? It's not empathy, it's a lack of empathy, followed by individuals not wanting to get in trouble over petty little things, and a legal system not wanting to spend thousands of manhours covering he-said-she-said scenarios.

That said, I don't play Switch games on my Steam Deck, I don't even have any Switch roms. I own a Switch, why would I play those games on a Steam Deck when I can just play them on the Switch?

Yes, the Steam Deck is the best Nintendo console ever made, for emulating Chrono Trigger (my favorite game, and arguably the greatest RPG of all time, released in 1995 for the SNES), that for some reason Nintendo has never re-released on the Switch or provided in their first-party emulators on Switch, despite it being the most requested game for the platform.

So... I reiterate my original statements. You are blowing up a non-issue out of proportion.
There seems to be a blur or glow applied to the bright edge, as if there is an atmosphere. It's not in the input photos. Looks distracting to me.
This isn't about the cost of the repair kit, it's about the cost of the replacement item, which includes many pieces which are not the battery.

In general for business-class stuff, you're better off going with the biggest names (AWS, Cloudflare) and trying to have your own backups for when those fail.

That way, if the backup works, yay (maybe even covers you shotgunning your own foot now and then), if it fails, eh, everyone is offline because AWS is down so the blame game won't be that harsh.
For a time we ran a build service that produced binaries that were commercially licensed if used for business purposes (personal use still free). But that was only with the optional use of our build service. The source code has always been Apache licensed.
What happens when a camera can't be used in a location that needs added "security" (which is really surveillance and not security) but it cannot be used due to expected privacy reasons (bathrooms, locker rooms, fitting rooms). The claim is "proven" that it cannot "see" your private parts because it is programmed not too. I guarantee the AI will fail at some point or is vulnerable to some attack.

Or what if it is connected to a radar/laser speed enforcement camera and takes your cars photo because it detects the car behind you speeding but it cannot "take" that part of the photo because it mis-detected you as the speeder.

This technology is fraught with problems when it comes to evidence in a court of law. What is not there is just as important as what is there and if you are erasing what is there you are also erasing what is not there?

Citation needed for cyclists running stop signs being dangerous. There have been numerous studies showing that at least for stop signs, it's actually safer/neutral. Anecdotally, treating stop signs as yields for biking encourages me to ride on more neighborhood streets with stop signs instead of full on signals; additionally, while stopping has negligible benefit in terms of yielding to cross traffic, doing a full stop each time means it will take much longer for me to cross the intersection which is the most dangerous part of the road.

I assume NULL would still exist there, but there would be no explicit NULL values permitted in tuples (rows) that actually exist.

So bottom of the barrel compact style cars that you can buy new as ICE for like 12-15k with far more range.

I completely agree. The current codebase, a rebuild on React called FB5, is very broken at the best of times.

In fact, it's sometimes unusable on Firefox on an M1 MacBook Air.

For one thing, the "report a bug" tool doesn't work in my browser but it works perfectly fine in Chrome. I can't click the dropdown boxes— they're empty. I also can't submit my report in the rare instance the drop downs work.

I also get weird trouble where my news feed will just start randomly loading crap and go into a rapid endless scroll loading new stories. The only way I can stop it is to do a hard refresh.

There are so many problems with posts not updating... You get a notification about some new comment like and when you click the notification, it just shows how it looked the last time you loaded it.

Again, the only way to see the update is CMD + R.

It's so broken and the latest interface doesn't even feel good, new, fresh, or like you want to explore.
So, the government got involved in student loans, encouraged people who should have entered trades to get irrelevant degrees, significantly inflated the cost of tuition, and is now not only rewarding poor decisions and debt, but is making others pay for it?

This is egregious vote buying during a period of high inflation!

And who making $125K needs a $10K discount on their loans!? A friend intentionally stopped paying his a while back in anticipation. What a joke.
That brings up an interesting point. Would PoS rewards get adjusted with central bank interest rates? If not, isn't there a risk of validators fleeing for better returns elsewhere?
Well, there are really two drawbacks. Personal risk (which, as you say, can be well-mitigated) and the externality of other people being less well-off. Yes they could choose to make things that aren't copyable instead of things that are, but most jurisdictions have structures telling them that free copying of the thing they're making won't be tolerated.
Wouldn’t the underlying data that the camera parsed to determine what to record still be recorded or be otherwise retrievable somewhere? Meaning everything is still recorded in some way?
Just multiply the monthly cost by how many months you intend to use the car. Are you happy with that cost? Then what's the issue? Why does the monthly-ness wind everyone up so much?

The harm in this case is death (which definitely impinges on the bodily autonomy of the child). The cost to the mother is gestation (9 months of intimate support). There is no other who could provide this support. The child did not place themselves in this position of dependence, but were placed there (by the mother and father, but most of the time this is not _intended_ either, though it could be).

It's debatable to extent that AWS has IPv6 across the board. Many seem to be using a 6 to 4 layer under the hood which can result in noticeable behavior.
TVs became cheaper thanks to smartification, because networks pay for the privilege of having built-in support, and it more than compensates for the small increase in material cost.

The reason we don't have dumb TVs anymore is that very few people want to pay more for less.

About privacy, regulation is an option, but you have to realize that it goes against the will of most customers. The market has told us that people are ready to sell their private life to the highest bidder. We are often saying that it is greedy companies that do that, but in reality, by prioritizing price and features over privacy, that's our choice. There are companies that target the privacy market, and they have their niche.

Now, it is wouldn't be the only incidence of regulations that go against what consumers want because of higher goals. For example, people typically don't care about the environment, but it is important, that's why there are regulations in place to force consumers to pay for "greener" things. Same thing for safety, people don't always want to pay for safety (but they still complain later when an accident happen...), so they regulate it. And drugs, people like drugs, but since it is considered bad for them, these are regulated. Should we protect people privacy against themselves? Maybe, there are arguments for and arguments against, culturally, the US would be more likely say "no" and Europe would be more likely to say "yes", I don't really have an opinion.
Given the iterative contribution of a artistically-talented human prompter, I'm not sure that precedent – set by the Copyright Office in the US, rather than a clear statute or court decision – will hold up.
