Has anyone here used InFlow (the app mentioned in the article)? Curious to hear your experiences if you have.
Well, it's hard to take seriously an appeal to authority about themselves if we're also supposed to take their word for their credentials.
The Onewheel seems so obviously dangerous. Any vehicle that dumps its passenger when losing power eventually will. It’s just a matter of cycles before the lithium ion battery starts dying fast.

While it seems like a simple mitigation could be to make the “pushback” mechanism more obvious (i.e. slowly decrease the top speed as the battery loses power), it makes me wonder what’s the point? Can’t we let Darwinism do it’s thing here?
So much this!

Wish we could have again this idea of publishing web apps as real apps in our phones.
Intellectual property is not private property to begin with. The fair use doctrine (and constitutional right) proves that. If society's particular specific use of a work outweighs the rightsholder's monopoly on its distribution, it can be ruled as such and whoever is making that fair use can continue and won't be penalized.

Almost no newly commercially available thing is a “new idea”, because the theoretical possibilities are typically explored well before a practical implementation is designed, built and brought to market.
This is hardly surprising. Most of them would be completely clueless about the code they've "written".

Oh, it's a cable-guided ferry. Since it already has a guide cable, it may as well be cable powered, too. That's not uncommon, but usually the power is transmitted mechanically, like a ski lift.

Brighton Beach in England once had an electric-powered sea-going railroad with an 18 foot gauge. A ferry running on railroad tracks. More of an amusement ride than a means of transportation, like some Disney water rides that run on tracks.

I agree with your first line. Almost everybody who try to time it will fail, I should have made that clear. Mostly the people who "timed it right" did it by accident.

But I disagree with the last bit. Holding is a terrible strategy with crypto now, because there's no economy to buffer it, and there are so many scams that drop the price of basically all the cryptocurrency market when they collapse. There are still more after FTX to go.

There was a time when speculating and holding for enough time could make ridiculous amounts of money. But at this point the only way to win is not to play (or be one of the scammers and do a rug-pull, but please don't).
The rate of his trolling alone shows that he has plenty of free time during his "hardcore work hours".
The author mentions it right after the introduction, with no criticism whatsoever, only praise. Unlike the rest of the piece which is more balanced. It certainly set the advertisement alarm bells ringing in my mind.
At that stage, just have overhead power lines for the boats… might spoil the scenery a bit though.
The main reason I never stopped using Evernote is that somehow I got "stuck" on a personal plan that never really got updated for at least 7 years.

I live in a high inflation country and right now I'm paying the equivalent of 0.75usd/year.

There's has been several moments through the years that I planned to at least backup my notes to another service but thought: I am paying, so surely I won't lose my notes?
I did write some code for Android but I feel blessed that not once in my life I needed to release an app for Apple or Google app stores. Not that I would tolerate this kind of control over my code anyways.

I've seen posts on HN within last year where Google screwed something up with censorship or app review. Posts get massively upvoted here and within a day or two Google fixes it. Could be coincidental, but highly probable that some Googlers read HN and act to fix high publicity problems or even just problems that they weren't really aware of until reading about it here.

I found one in a thrift shop in the early 90s, with no storage or other peripherals. Never got it to do anything by itself, but 17-year-old me successfully soldered the (white ceramic and gold) CPU into the TI-99/4a my dad bought in about 1981. I passed that computer on to a younger kid who learned to code assembly on it.
To note, this is the THIRD time in the past two calendar years that Steve Burke and the folks at Gamers Nexus have done a product investigation on something capable of causing a fire. They also prompted Fractal Design to do their own investigation and catch a fire hazard before Gamers Nexus themselves reproduced the problem. The other cases are:

* August 28, 2021 - Fractal Torrent Fan Hub Short Circuit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytxtbLou978)

* August 24, 2021 - Gigabyte GP-P750GM Power Supply Explosion - Uncut Testing Footage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JmPUr-BeEM)

This is a solid summary of the video, courteous of /u/Nestledrink on Reddit in the /r/Nvidia thread:

* Per Nvidia partner: Failure rate is 0.05% - 0.1%. Nvidia may provide more context on this later

* Any of them "can" fail because there are a few mode of failures and one of them involves user error.

* Confirmed 2 Manufacturers: Astron and NTK. Also may have been additional subcontracting to Tricon.

-- ----- ----- ----- -----

* Failure in general is overwhelmingly uncommon and many of the failures are very easily avoidable

* Causes are...

1) Foreign object debris in the cable 1A) Caused by improper manufacturing and scraping of the bump combined with high current and or poor connection 1B) Creating poor points of contacts

2) Improper insertion by user

3) Improper insertion in combination with a taut wire on one or more pins. Causing one point of poor contact that heats up.

GN also went on to debunk several theories out there. Not going to summarize them. Please watch to understand some of the misinformation out there.

Conclusion:

* Cables are melting when connector is unseated

* It requires being unseated AND pulling the cable at an angle. It did not fail when tested unseated but not being pulled at an angle

* "Partial insertion and angling of the pin into the socket could have increased susceptibility for a high resistance parallel connection at the lip of the socket" - Failure Analysis Lab Testing sent to GN

* Any debris will make this worse

* Failures are rare

* Don't chase specific adapters as any of them can fail

* Anxiety surrounding the issue might exacerbate the issue because of 1) When people are unplugging and re-plugging, it could create foreign object debris (not common) and 2) User error when re-plugging the connector

* Purely objectively, GN feels you should be comfortable using 12VHPWR connector but it requires them to be fully connected and seated (critical). There should not be any gap. Push the cable until you can't wiggle it out anymore (GN gave an example of how you could pull the seemingly fully inserted cable out by wiggling it out -- an indication that the cable is NOT fully seated)

So I've been reading this and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

"Like others here, I never really enjoyed school as much after Montessori."

It's almost like school peaked as a child and then it was just disappointing after that. Not that I would say don't do the program because everything afterwards is less good but I am a bit split on it.

It also speaks to how powerful the program is to elicit such responses. And it seems from the small subsection of commenters on this HN thread (which is already a specific subsection of society) that there is a transition afterwards but people seem to be well adjusted for the most part.

From my own experience I can say I don't really think I enjoyed school (not Montessori) - and I'm realizing as I type this that in itself is unfortunate.

If you write code at Amazon you also are responsible for the availability of your service. So, you rotate in as an on-call.

There is no central SRE teams, SysAdmins, etc. There is no throwing it over the fence.

There is nobody better to fix a production issue than the person who wrote the code which broke. Plus, you are more motivated to write better code.
Fusion power was ~50 years away in the 60s, and still ~50 years away in the 90s. If it’s down to ~10 years now, that’s truly remarkable!
No, he's right. Your comment was bullshit. Even really poor quality books will last at least many decades longer than any ebook reader and format. Good books last centuries to millennia. (And the ones with really good content tend to get re-bound, as well, lasting nearly forever...)

No ebooks can last more than a decade or two, and even if the files are perfectly readable, you often need a LOT of supporting hardware and software to use them.

Take even a very simple example like a Kindle in 15-20 years time: The LiPoly battery will fail, it may not be able to phone home to validate your DRM anymore, for many reasons: Amazon my have updated the APIs to a form unusable by your old device, your account may no longer exist, the wireless network standards may no longer be compatible or in use (original Kindles already suffer from this!), the charger may be long-gone (or you can no longer find a type-A USB port to plug the charging cable into), the lead-free solder will have developed tin whiskers and shorted out PCB connections, the grid may have collapsed due to the instability of renewable energy or a Carrington event, and in my experience, the microUSB charging connector on the Kindle itself will most certainly have broken, anyway, as they always do (and I'm NOT hard on my devices...) Exactly NONE of those issues will ever prevent a book from providing you access to the information it had from the day of its printing.

Thanks, I'll take paper. *ALL* digital data/info storage is ephemeral. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.

(And BTW, history shows that the fall of civilizations (and their support structures, of course) does happen with alarming frequency. For the last few thousand years, books( (or close cousins like scrolls, etc.) have proven to be as resistant to that sort of thing as possible.)
Ah the classic, is it really “insert in vogue method” or just a charlatan wrapping existing algos with fancy words?

Past questions: is it really compressive sensing? Is it really superresolution? Is it really expectation maximization?

My experience is it’s typically 50-50.

Tricking users into these high priced subscriptions is a tried and true strategy in the app store. The press caught on late (2018) but it was happening from the moment apple opened up subscriptions to all developers in June 2016. Started with crappy coloring book apps and then spread like wildfire from there. Bending Spoons is simply the evolution of that.

Yes, how do we know that visual rather than verbal information is even being processed? I can get a decent image from Stable Diffusion or Dall-E from a pure text prompt, and if that's added to a very basic scribble and we do img2img a much better result can be produced, but it might have little to do with what the person is actually seeing.
Just hope you never get screwed by the USCIS. At least you found a way to talk to a human, if only for a second. The USCIS just phone menu trees you into disconnection.
Nah - jokes are funny.
It is an algorithm, but it's not what was traditionally call an algorithm because it relies on randomization and training data. Every step of the process is algorithmic according to the book defition:

> a precise rule (or set of rules) specifying how to solve some problem

The only difference is the rules are adjusted (trained) over time, rather than being written down once by a programmer.

It's a general trend in AI that:

1. Some problem in the AI-domain is solved with a new method (say, barcode scanning or handwriting recognition as historical examples).

2. This new technique is referred to as AI and not algorithmic.

3. Over time the ability of AI is pushed further.

4. At some point the method shifts from being understood as AI to being considered algorithmic.
Congrats on your first kid!

We live in Hong Kong and think that it's a great environment (albeit insanely expensive) to raise our one-year old child but heard the same reaction to friends and family. Some people get obsessed with the idea of safety and can't understand the value of freedom to explore, easy access to culture in the form of theatre, art, museums, ... Instead they only optimise for that single dimension of safety and are offended whenever someone challenges their obsession by making a different choice than them.
In Europe it's no different, except we mostly only pay with time. Even without the "motivator" of student loans, most people enter university to party, pass tests and get out with paper that grants them access to better-paying or more interesting jobs. Learning is incidental.

I think that despite it being less obvious these days, it's still true: actually learning for the sake of knowing and understanding is a nerd thing. Even at universities, students who care are considered weird.
> it seems that tax deductions on pledges are accounted for immediately while the cash flow out is actually delayed

I have no idea where you would get that idea. There have been some interesting arrangements for sure, but there is no way to get a tax deduction for a pledge that hasn't been given.

This is clearly about wording, so let me ask again:

I would be more worried about it being used to reveal information than be used in court as evidence. If the trial is anywhere near fair it will be trivial to say you can never prove if it was a real memory.
I agree - it’s about how the developer communicates (or in this case obfuscates) the price to the user. Check out the substack link and you’ll see screenshots of how Bending Spoons does it (it’s highly misleading).

Generally I’m of the opinion that consumers are responsible for their own choices; but Apple has allowed bad actors to exploit the availability of weekly subscriptions and prey on suspecting users.
I agree that Google customer support is the worst.

But I read this:

> We confirm that your app has options to report and block abusive users but your app does not contain functionality to report objectionable content.

to be the answer to the question.

I would try adding a link that says, exactly, "report objectionable content" to the user comments. It seems like the issue is that you aren't providing enough flavors of reporting, so give it to them.

But I'm sorry OP has had to spend days on this, and suffer at the hands of unhelpful reps.
I came across this quote recently by John Holt (unschooling movement):

"We can best help children learn, not by deciding what we think they should learn and thinking of ingenious ways to teach it to them, but by making the world, as far as we can, accessible to them, paying serious attention to what they do, answering their questions -- if they have any -- and helping them explore the things they are most interested in."
Isn't fiction an overall non-empirical simulation? Science fiction books are not strictly based on historical events or even facts. Yet we still gain valuable psychological knowledge from them.
Always, always, always “manage up”. When people in some service role like a counter person for an airline hold this much power over you, you lose almost nothing by treating them like they are the most important person in the universe. Talk them up, be overly kind, do everything you can to make their job and life easier. It isn’t fair, but I have found you will experience much less friction in life following this philosophy. Are they right? Is Anthony from the linked article “right”. No, of course not, but they have a sliver of power that happens to be extremely important to you for whatever reason and they can and will hit you with it as hard as they can and you never know what someone else is going through or where they are at in life. Don’t chance it, at least not over small stuff like this.

I know we haven’t proven fMRI is not truly measuring activity but have we proven it doesn’t even correlate?
I don't think that's really true. It's called "programming". Even Haskell is not a 100% pure-functional language since you have escape hatches. I think we should focus on what you do with the language, hence "functional programming" is pretty clear as a term no?

> Of course, the other part (in Nvidia's favor) is that a lot of scientific work is GPU based now. Not just ML.

It’s not just the hardware like you’re talking about. The tooling has grown up insanely well too. You used to have to write CUDA or similar if you wanted a simulation on a GPU. Now you can write it in a high level language in a way that looks pretty close to the math.

> a Honda Ruckus for example might not be much heavier than 3 e-bikes.

I don't think you're following what I'm saying.

If the ebike is 50 pounds, and the motorbike is 550 pounds, and the human is 200 pounds, then motorbike+human is 3x the weight of ebike+human. And that's how much the tires are pushing down.

Upvoted; Everybody should follow this advice for everything.

For some reason people don't even take the first step of applying for a job they want/like just because it lists "X years of experience needed". This is never ever a hard requirement. Most companies try to over provision or are completely clueless about their needs. So don't doubt your abilities, be clear about where you stand and what you want and finally be willing to negotiate both on Salary and Position to get/do what you want.
