We aren't going to rebuild our cities around bikes, and even if we did, a large number of people could not use them. On the other hand, we already built our cities around cars, and self-driving cars would fit right in (if they actually worked).

Car makes us less us sedentary and less able to walk. Bikes work the opposite way, and encourage us to be more active and more able to walk.

The elder can't walk due in part because they didn't engage in enough physical activity, which in turn reduce their activity level.

Beside, we won't be able to redesign our urban architecture overnight, but with progress comes dividend that will make further progress much easier.

There will always be edge cases for people who are disabled and who are too obese, but I am confident we can find mobility options for them. A healthier society will have more money to support the hopefully dwindling reminders who can't use bikes.
Is there a way to report theforest.link sites? One of the first ones I was directed to is casually antisemitic
London just had a hot summer and it has both fuck-all AC and I spent most of it commuting by bike. Cars are dumb.
You should look into how Adolf Hitler became a Führer to get an answer to that one. The reason is accountability and checks and ballances.
Yeah, those sets of photos are just as often large projects or other "commieblock"-style buildings, so you could say they're an inditement of modern socialism or something.

I think it's much simpler, people like looking at ruins.
The world should not need Kiwi Farms
I certainly don't, at least not in the way that modern society seems to be pushing for it.

A year or two ago a high school was putting on a production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and there was a loud minority of students complaining because a white girl was cast as Esmeralda. In the original book, Esmeralda is ethnically French, but Gypsies steal her as an infant and replace her with Quasimodo. Many years later, Esmeralda's mother sees her and rants at her, thinking she is one of the gypsies she hates for stealing her daughter. She hates her own daughter, her own flesh and blood, because of interethnic hatred. The implication of this, and the impact of people like the students complaining because a white girl was cast in the role, are left as an exercise to the reader.

But the key thing is why are they more caloric. Is it that we are hungrier, is it that foods changed? These are questions that are testable if we start doing policy experiments.

If you put a limit on how much someone can earn, you put a soft limit on how much people do. Why do more for my company if I can't get more out of it? If this happens to too many people, a company's products and services start to suffer. Why would someone invent a new technology that could help millions of people if he can't earn anything more out of it?

> What is the point of earning more than what I can spend in my lifetime, or my grandchildren lifetime?.

That level of wealth doesn't come from salary. It comes from equity. All that "money" is on paper. If the company made too many mistakes, all that wealth disappears. Besides, most family wealth is spent in 3 generations.

EDIT:

> I keep thinking, limiting the salary a person can earn, will somehow discourage people from running this rat race and accumulating so much wealth. It will inevitably put in every person mind the idea of work and personal life balance.

Maybe, but work life balance is a very personal choice. If someone wants to work all the time, we, as a society, should let them. It might not be the best choice for the individual, but its their choice, and no one should stop them.

Furthermore, even if a salary cap was imposed on everyone, there would still be a rat race, since work is not valued equally. People at the bottom will still work themselves "to death" and not have good work life balance.
The biggest drawback to the AirTag design is that the plastic housing is the speaker cone, so when they're against another object, it damps the sound.

This may be a consequence of building everything in a car-centric way.
Going on a tangent I am tired of diversity theater at most companies. You know how I know you don't really care? I look at your C level (excluding Chief Diversity Officer) and you board.
The vast majority of the time, you don't need a wire transfer. And if your debit/credit card doesn't work on the weekend, you need a new bank; That's not the fault of banking as a whole.

Why do we often implicitly consider the human cognitive capability as it is embodied in adult individuals' biological makeup to be immutable, now and in the future? Even a single existence proof of a method for cognitive enhancement would deal away with this frame.

I get that we aren't (yet) spoiled by availability of (gene or cellular) therapies uplifting our IQs, but hey, at least those mice were able to receive theirs: https://www.cell.com/cell-stem-cell/pdf/S1934-5909(13)00007-...

Given the sheer amount of capital available for trial and error on (sometimes ridiculous like juicero) consumer products it's weird that so little of it is allocated to advance the biotechnology of human enhancement.
I have an M1 gaming build where I prioritized efficiency; 5800X3D and RX 6600 with a 450W PSU.

I also have a mini-ITX Lone L5 build with an i3-12100 and no GPU with a 192W PSU. (Effectively - PSU is technically a bit more, but the AC/DC adapter is only 192W.)
(1) It's a little optimistic to expect the rates to come back down "in the next 2-3 years"

(2) A refinance is a big enough transaction for both parties that it'd be silly to not do more than 5 seconds of due diligence. Either the bank or the customer will be leaving money, maybe even thousands, on the table, if they forego the opportunity to scrutinize the customer more carefully (on the bank's side) or the opportunity to shop around more carefully (on the customer's side).

Let me give you an example, I know someone who recently (well, a year or so ago, when rates were still very low) got a mortgage. They went with a certain online company and went through hell for a month with the back and forth bullshit. Yet they still didn't regret choosing the cheaper online mortgage broker, because the total savings compared to an easier to deal with mortgage provider was in the several thousands after considering points, long term interest differences, etc.

If you are wealthy enough that saving thousands of dollars with a few hours of work is an unattractive opportunity, then you can also just not worry about your mortgage rate at all. Nobody who would care about optimizing their mortgage rate would turn down the opportunity to get an even better rate given a little more time investment.
It's sort of funny that the very reason you cannot get to most of these places by walking or by bicycle is because of the massive seas of concrete that have been built for "convenience".

And then you need to walk across them anyway, even if you drive.
That's such a ridiculous definition as to be utterly useless for any real analysis. North Korea is "South" and South Korea is "North". Got it.

I can't believe anyone would take this stuff seriously. But I'm sure it's popular with the officious busybodies in some international NGOs.
As a contrasting point: I'm consistently getting 150ms from their main domain, and 25-35ms from their cdn subdomain. I suspect most of your latency is from "the internet".
Indeed! We already have dedicated parking spaces for the disabled. Keep those, get rid of all the others.
This is an article explicitly about _urban_ mobility. If you're going to exclude large, dense metropolitan areas, are you even addressing the arguments being made here?
It means they could eliminate that requirement but it wouldn't be a meaningful improvement to privacy, because the roomba would still know where it is.
Good rain gear and a set of fenders feels like having super powers.
What's social science without social justice? Having a code of ethics wrt research is kinda of "well, duh" position.

Medical research went thru the same maturity process.

From Nature's announcement:

"New ethics guidance addresses potential harms for human population groups who do not participate in research but may be harmed by its publication."

Like I said, "well, duh." Like how else should it be?
It's disheartening that while I can point at demonstrable harm and conduct which matches what we commonly understand to be "anti-competitive" in both intent and effect, what I get in return is a handful of facile value statements. Yes, it may be that Apple has a legal right to sell you a walled garden system. Price fixing was also legal for most of human history. If your rights are harmful, they are abolished. That's how it's always been.

As it happens, the implementation details of platform security are typically not secret. It's the keys that are. The "intellectual property" in question is only the solution to a very well understood but computationally infeasible problem. It has no use or worth beyond protecting the vendor's restrictions on your device. This has precisely nothing to do with the tech being proprietary. You could implement a platform monopoly with nothing but FOSS tech. I'm starting to think you don't understand the technology very well.

For instance, It's not terribly difficult for security hackers to blow the door open on these systems even when they're proprietary and no public documentation or datasheet is supplied. George Hotz famously published the private keys for the PS3 and was sued into oblivion. You'll find this isn't about technology at all, but law.

The "just buy a Jolla/Sailfish phone" argument is a non-sequitur. For starters, who says I haven't? That doesn't mean I need to accept that my friends and family are getting fleeced. Let's assume I'm also purely self-interested, who do you suppose they go to when they can't get basic computing tasks done because it conflicts with their hardware vendor's interests?
I can't tell if this is sarcastic. I assume most people on HN do eventually update their iDevices, but the rest of the post seems possibly tongue-in-cheek. If you aren't being sarcastic and have upgraded, please do share your thoughts on stability and new features, since that's what this community is for!
I went through all bookstores in Berlin trying to sell my self-published book
It's not dense because the same people opposing pedestrianization also oppose density.

If we let people build a couple Amsterdams or Londons in America, we could just self select and those that want to cycle and walk can do so, and those who want to drive can do so - just in separate places.
This will not work as well for eg. a thriving restaurant ecosystem, where whole animal carcasses and multiple pallets of produce need to be delivered. There are entire categories of stuff that cities need to thrive that bikes cannot fulfill. When I was talking delivery, I meant commerce-related delivery.
I just saw this post reach about #4 on the frontpage, get flagged, marked DEAD, then come back but no longer on the frontpage, all in about 2 minutes.
And that will never be fixed because those fabs are a dead end. It’s just a matter of time before they are gone
No, it's just a different skill set.
road grime, sweat, and sunscreen can be avoided with good clothing choices, and the ebike doing most of the work. You might not want to ride if you're headed to a black tie formal event, but the point is there are plenty of trips where none of these are an issue.
>Stable Diffusion (and similar tools) fall in this last category of truly disruptive technologies. It's going to destroy the livelihoods of the majority of independent artists in a way that looks inevitable to me. These new tools boost artist productivity by 100x and that means good artists will be producing much more art than ever before.

I'll believe it when I see it. How many self sufficient, independent digital artists are actually making a living doing something other than webcomics or furryporn? SD is amazing technology for sure, but this notion that it's going to incredibly disruptive is the latest in a long line of AI hype. It ignores the simple fact that there is already more art produced and uploaded onto the internet, every hour, than can meaningfully be consumed. Independent artists already had to compete with millions of art uploaded very minute, what is a few million more?
Define "urban".
Someone who is on a bus route that goes to the mall (typically, lots of routes will go to the mall, there may be a transit center there as well), or wants to take a class but not deal with the expense and congestion of college parking lots. Mall parking lots can be congested too, but when the mall is struggling to get tenants, their parking lots are mostly empty and easy to use.
What’s the alternative to moving away from cars? Let the people be fat and unhealthy in perpetuity, and hope that we invent an “exercise pill” some day that can save them?

Everyone needs to start moving more, and we can do it gradually. The people who are extremely unfit and can barely walk right now would benefit from some extra movement a lot.

It’s not like entire cities & towns go from “all cars” to “all walking and bikes” immediately. It’ll phase-in over like 20+ years. There will be slightly more opportunities to walk around each year, and it’ll get a little less convenient to drive to the shop that’s 1/4 mile away. The unfit will have plenty of time to adjust!

Those with physical mobility issues have tons of alternative solutions:

1) If fewer people drive, it’ll be easier for a disabled person to drive
2) Focusing on walking/biking ties naturally to expanded public transit, which is also better for the environment and better for people with disabilities, visually impaired, and elderly who shouldn’t be driving anyways
3) disabled and immobile-obese people can also benefit from cycling infrastructure — the Netherlands has tiny little electric mobility scooters which require a special “disability registration” to use (similar to disabled parking), which are able to use the bike infrastructure.
> Increasingly though, so much of the U.S. looks so much like the rest in terms of retail/food that I begin to feel the entire country is in fact a mall of sorts.

Here's a good video on the subject: https://youtu.be/UX4KklvCDmg
Warming up the laser printer (and its a small one) reliably causes the lights throughout my apartment to flicker.
I think for mass adoption, most people (young/old/healthy/infirm/frail) would want enclosed bicycles that are still useful for protecting passengers and cargo from precipitation. Those with physical challenges would need electrified recumbent bicycles. But those would need to be high enough to be easily seen by motor vehicles.

Most people will also want climate control options (heat, A/C).This should be possible in the future but may require more battery cost than would be supported by acceptable prices at the moment.

How much would people pay for a highly-visible-to-pickup-truck-drivers recumbent bicycle which can safely go 45mph and has air conditioning? How much would this cost? At a hypothetical $8,000 I'd be tempted to just spend twice as much on a car so I can go on the highway.

Cars also get stolen a lot less than bicycles, so the extra $8,000 for a car might pay for itself if the proposed recumbent might get stolen once or twice.

I love bicycles, I want to be able to use them for my commute. But I think to make that happen we need to focus on broadly-acceptable solutions rather than pipe dreams.
Yup, sure sounds like an internet cesspool to me. I certainly wouldn't want this running on my servers.
Can you run this chip on a laptop? How will they hope to compete with Apple's M2Pro/Max?

Answer: they won't. It'll be like phone chips where Apple is 2+ years ahead of the game for perf/watt.
All these power hungry beasts coming out of Intel and NVIDIA feel quite out of sync with the zeitgeist in a world that's worried about the power bill - especially when the M1/M2 is there to provide contrast. I'm getting Pentium 4 vs Core architecture vibes.
I've been hit on a bike by cars twice, both times in broad daylight in a bike lane. The second time was when I was just done with that. Drivers just aren't looking for you at all. Thinking about riding a bike in conditions where they might actually have some trouble seeing me is pretty terrifying.
Using LLVM to convert PyTorch to WASM
So the users don't care, but are forced to care by their platforms arbitrary rules?
Sure they could. There are bikes made specifically for obese and elderly people.

If you prefer driving your car, that's fine, but don't pretend that biking is somehow reserved for young fit people, that's simply not true.

Go to any northern European city and see for yourself.
It is more than capable of producing stuff that isn’t even in its dataset as the original DALLE paper shows.

Inference takes 4 seconds on an A100, I’d say that makes it useful for a wide range of applications that weren’t even possible before.

I do agree that the outputs will lack a sense of communication with the viewer that art has.

That should certainly help maintain a 'pure' source for further training examples.
> issue is that OFAC overstepped the bounds of their statutory authority, which none of your arguments address

Plaintiffs' argument relies on Tornado Cash not being "a person, entity, or organization" [1]. The complaint declares OFAC exceeded its statutory authority, but provides no specifics. (The code cited in ¶ 9 [2] gives courts the authority to tell agencies not to do bad things. That isn't an argument for or against OFAC's specific actions in this case.)

In summary, it's a hope-and-a-prayer complaint. Maybe someone at OFAC fucked up the paperwork, thereby giving rise to some modicum of relief.

I think this is why it’s taken so long to release the VR headset. It’s obviously been functional for years at this point and there are tons of other headsets on the market proving there is at least some demand.

But I think apple is taking it slow and waiting for the right opportunity rather than shoehorn it in at the last second of Q4 to bolster EOY earnings.

Same with the car. I’m more skeptical of that project ever seeing the light of day, but there is no doubt that apple has the resources to bring that product to market if they wanted to, but they’re also smart enough to read the room.
The bulk data part. EDI would likely be more useful when you want updates on 100,000+ records at once, each record with multiple fields.
Did you have an ad blocker or other privacy add-ons installed? Many "website doesn't work in Firefox" issues are related to ad blockers.

OTOH, if the page is black and not repainting, that might be a graphics issue (in Firefox or the GPU driver). Firefox uses the GPU more than Chrome for rendering and video decoding, which can be great for performance but unfortunately means users can be exposed to GPU driver bugs.
Those watches measure the temperature at the underside of the device, i.e. the temperature of the wearer not the air. And that data they claim stays on your phone, not in their cloud.
Parking and lane enforcement can and should be automated. The disabled status is linked to the license plate and driving on the wrong road with that status leads to an automatic fine. In the UK we already have automatic fines for speeding, jumping lights, stopping in a no stop zone, using a bus lane, not paying a toll. This is no different.
Copenhagen is not super-dense, not even very dense. Berlin is even less dense than Copenhagen, yet both cities are very pleasurable for using the bike as your sole means of transportation.
With the GPU it's going to reach 51% at this rate. That's all it takes to require one per computer.
I'm not sure I understand your question. Is what true? I don't think the ACLU actually supported the Nazis in Skokie or their message. But sometimes people miss the forest for the trees with that case. In oder to defend your own rights, you have to defend everyone else's rights too. First they came...

But the ACLU has changed quite a bit since those days it seems. It's my understanding that they no longer take the "sunlight is the best disinfectant" approach to free speech and the free and open exchange of ideas.
It's a long game. The right thing to do is to start to shift toward bike-friendliness and bicycle-centric programs and infrastructure projects. Then get the kids on board. Part of this will probably require a rethinking of neighborhood schools vs bussing. Then make it easy for people to live near their jobs, and create incentives for self-propelled & mass transit commuting options. It's a decades-long process.
There should have been a few more by now but they keep getting delayed. Overall though, I think FH might have been made worth developing because of Europa Clipper, NSSL launches and Dragon XL despite not necessarily making back R&D yet. Falcon Heavy is easier for risk averse government agencies to choose.

Remember that Lunar Starship winning HLS was not at all expected, most people assumed NASA would consider it too radical, going for the other more conservative proposals.

In that environment, FH offers best in the world capability at low costs while still being pretty close to what people (especially uninformed politicians and bureaucrats) think of as a rocket.
I am not seeing where I suggested that Apple doesn't want to sell more ads, or that they don't care about money.

Yes, it's profitable for Apple to sell ads. They tried once before and failed because they refused to violate personal privacy for ad targeting. It is possible to sell fitness ads when people search for fitness apps, or health ads on articles about health subjects, without violating personal privacy. People are concerned about whether Apple will compromise long-held values because Facebook and Google have worked to pretend there's no difference between selling context-aware ads and selling privacy-invading user-tracking ads. There is a difference, though.

But if I want a good picture of an owl, I Google "owl" and get many more options than I could possibly ever have time to pick from. Stable Diffusion is essentially doing the same thing as Google, except presenting a kind of average result instead of showing me all the results in its DB.

Now, this may actually be helpful in that it gets around copyright claims - but that's the only real difference.
That's cool. I've been thinking through a similar design. Would this be an accurate description of your approach?

There are arm-propelled bicycles (or more specifically, drivetrains that let wheelchair users propel themselves with their arms as though they are on a bicycle).

If you're going into "paraplegic and/or legally blind" as your idea of people that can't get around by bicycle, you will find that most people in public gatherings are just fine going around by bike.
