You should only bill for time spent on client work, unless stated in the contract. When I did consulting, I worked over 40 hours to bill 40 client hours, because there is always some company overhead that isn't related to customer work.

The 40 hours you see billed regularly is maybe to avoid triggering overtime/excess hours clauses or norms.

The Hidden Specter of Financial Censorship
It’s offensive.
Expanding on the structure the OP created, this is how I see us getting to human level AI:

1. Record video sound etc... (trajectories) egocentrically

2. Analyze the data and assign reward labels (more/good, less/bad) to state and transitions actions

3. Use the reward feedback and trajectories to build the policy for some set of actions in certain environments

This is why I'm bullish on anything sousveillance - so AR cameras on your head, always on mics etc...

The dynamic here is fairly straightforward. When you have new growth industries like tech, there are a lot of badly-protected resources available. There is a class of people (often called the "professional managerial class", or "PMCs") who specialize in moving in and consuming these badly-protected resources. The most successful tactics for this kind of strategy come from leftist thinkers in the mid-to-late 20th century, so most of these people come from leftist backgrounds. That's why mozilla, wikimedia, etc. always have their resources parasitized towards hard left-leaning causes - because those people have the best institutional capture tactics.

Show HN: Turn your data into API product
Sure, when a random programmer on the street says a language "has generics," we mean "generics that I can use to extend my data model," or something similar.

But in this talk, we have one of the creators of the language saying "you don't actually need generics," when what he meant was "you only need the generics I gave you."

Go has, from the very beginning, acknowledged the importance of generics, and offered them to users of the language. But, until fairly recently, Go didn't trust users to use generics in any but a few specific cases.
This is one of those technically correct answers that absolutely misses the point.

Let's assume, for argument's sake, all investments lose money. People are still going to try and invest in the places where they expect to lose the least. Humans tend to be very loss averse. Hanging onto what they've got, to the greatest extent possible, may be their priority and doesn't necessarily disprove the earlier assertion.
If you rephrase that as, "10% of the donations we receive go to small grants in service of equity and education" I think most reasonable people would say, "oh, ok, I think most big charities do this".

I have a 2017 Outback and there exists a cluster of switches on the dash for easily toggling all the EyeSight features.

They actually recommend to disable the "pre-collision braking" feature before driving through an automated carwash. Apart from that situation, I also disable it when I'm facing highly congested traffic for the reasons indicated in the other comments. It's very easy to do. I don't understand why this is a big deal.

I think the system works very well and has saved me several times over the years while approaching intersections and on the highway.
"And I'm 100% in favor of systems that force other drivers on the road to drive more safely as well."

Ug. I'd rather have testing be changed so that safety is increased in all situations by having a competent driver. Most of the situations being described here are simply poor choices on the part of one or more drivers.

For real, who the hell is cutting through lanes of traffic and slamming on brakes because they will miss a turn? Best to remove these people than have them rely on a price of tech to save them in 1 situation but let them continue to be dangerous in another 9 areas.
I don't understand the magic of using the word "fraud." Personally, I find this description of the actual alleged offense much more enlightening and equally damning: "FTX improperly used billions of dollars of customer funds to prop up a trading firm that he also founded."

Perhaps this is among the biggest differences between US and EU: in the first it is much easier to fire people and this may lead to massive hires when the conditions made it necessary, knowing that they can easily reduce the workforce when such conditions change; on the contrary, in EU it is more difficult to fire the employees, so companies tend to be more cautious to hire large amounts of new employees.
One car length is way more than 15 feet to my mind, probably 40 feet or more depending on speed. See my other comments about how nuanced this entire dialog will inevitably be. Don't you think it's more reasonable to assume we have different definitions of a car length? Perhaps I've used the term in a grossly incorrect manner. "One car length" to me equals "one unit of minimum safe distance taking into account road conditions, traffic conditions, and speed"

Not just 15 feet, that'd be insane!

Actually no. Im not describing anything about capitalism than what I see and hear on the broadcast/cable news and from the people who parrot it.

Congress wants to pass a law making it illegal to torture children by throwing them into piles of burning puppies? Cue talking heads rambling on and on about economic impacts. Politicians on the other side talking about how $market_segment will suffer. Ceos/business owners talking about how it hurts them or worse, helps the competition. All with the terrifying footer note "opponents say this move will hurt profits".

I'm not imagining anything, I'm merely saying what happens. If you want to claim that I'm stupid for saying what I see, call me Forest Gump and keep pretending you can't see what's in front of you. I'm sure your emperor is wearing clothes or whatever other fantasy makes you feel smug and safe.
I always wonder whether the heat calculations are correct. For example, if you compute the equilibrium temperature in a room on a table, then you get a cooler temp than when sitting on a lap that is 98.6 F. If the temperature sensor is near the CPU (i.e. one boundary of the heat equation solution), then it might not see more than a degree or two difference in very different external environments.

> It's also possible to use Bitcoin without internet access. Nowadays you can send and receive Bitcoin transactions over satellite, SMS and I think even over radio, no Internet required.

All of these mean: continuous easily available connection at any point. And to send anything through SMS or radio? Again. First. World.

"To send Bitcoin (or any cryptocurrency) over ham radio you need to download the apps TxTenna and Samourai wallet, sync your phone with a goTenna mesh device, and then you’ll be set up to send and receive Bitcoin via a mesh network "

Ah yes. Apps. And readily available proprietary mesh devices.

> There are ways to produce your own electricity.

And all that is surely available and instantly accessible to people living with oppressive governments and in times of war. Instead of, you know, actual cash, barter, and storing valuables in actual valuables.

It's precisely because I know of these crises that I find "generate your own electricity to just charge a mobile phone to just send bitcoin transactions over satellite or radio in times of war/oppressive government" laughable.

> You might just eat these words one day.

See, I lived through at least one of these crises in the 90s [1], after the fall of the Soviet Union. The idea that your bitcoin fantasy would survive a single brownout (or a blackout) when you need things like potable water or food now and not when "intermittent internet access is available" shows how much you understand about "the many crises around the world".

And that's without war or an oppressive government.

I feel like the next iteration of a React Native-like tool (if Flutter isn't your jam) could build on top of SwiftUI and JetPack compose.
Nice, seems like you're entering into a pretty competitive space. I know multiple teams across different companies using Databricks and their datalake and ML feature stores for this purpose.

I get that your tool is more specifically optimized for the task of large scale ML but what's your strategy for going up against the likes of Databricks especially when they can point to their solution and go, hey you can use our datalake both for normal business intelligence solutions and ML.

Here it seems like your tool would be separate from the BI datalake and would likely be thought of and implemented a while after the BI datalake is implemented since ML maturity seems to come after BI maturity in companies I've worked for.
That's false I fear. Intersectionality hasn't much to do with Foucault. It's a framework for analyzing multiple levels of discrimination occuring at the same time (say for someone having both a physical disability and mental illness). You could have just linked to wikipedia ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality

IMO there's quite a bit to criticize in that approach, but calling it postmodernist relativism doesn't really fit.
"How did so many companies assume the pandemic/lockdown bump was going to be permanent" it mostly was. Amazon, for example, is seeing slowing growth but still record high revenue last quarter.

An interesting part of Madoff recoveries were through settlements against originators/feeder funds because they « ought » to have known it was a ponzi.

Unsure if FTX creditors will be able to do the same.

But mostly, Madoff himself didn’t really spend much money. Just did nothing with it. The few pieces of fancy real estate he lived in were actually profitable because he didn’t build some gawdy illiquid palace.

But there was a lot of time-value loss that isn’t accounted for. Even 14 years later there are still distributions. Even getting $1 back on your 1995 $1 is still a big loss.

This post checks out. Roughly. The problem isn’t with the idea that there can be other ways of knowing out there to explore, it’s with the total rejection of science because it’s somehow innately white and thus undeniably racist. Even if you believe knowledge is entirely socially constructed, to dismiss one construct simply because of the perceived social identity (remember race is a construct, too) of it’s progenitors is where it leaves the realm of academia and becomes part of the culture war zeitgeist.
It could be that no one "got that money." If a stock is trading at $2X and the value of all of the shares is $1 billion, no one gets the money if the stock opens the next day at $X. That's the problem with thinking of stock prices as real money. (And, indeed, real cash can also lose value through inflation.)

Certainly the opportunity existed. Certain pre-conditions like battery tech and environmental concern were met.

That doesn't detract from Musk's achievement. Toyota could have been making EVs since the early 2000's. Volvo, Nissan, and Ford all had EVs available before Teslas became widely available. If EVs were such a trivial eventuality, these companies would have been dominant players in that space.

But Tesla went on to become the world's most valuable car company. Musk single handedly changed the public perception of EVs, and he kickstarted the entire industry. The major auto makers would not take EVs as seriously if not for him.

I am not a Musk shill. I think he is unhinged. You can go through my comment history as proof of my dislike of Teslas if you care to.

Starting a company and growing it to be one of the top 10 largest companies in the world is a massive achievement. Popularizing EVs is a massive achievement. Your opinions on Musk do not change that.

I just started using Planetscale for small projects here and there. More and more of my projects are FE-heavy and don't require a big dedicated database (NextJS apps, mostly hardcoded designs or headless CMS like Sanity). There are times where I need to store just small bits of data, maybe contact form submissions or something. It's been super great to be able to quickly hook up planetscale to a nextjs api function and have that data persisted within a matter of minutes.

I've yet to use it on anything large-scale, though, so I can't speak to performance when you're really pushing it.
