Joe Biden and his people have historical roots with the same groups that participate in the economy of Argentina, modern Spain and a host of small other countries. The M.O. is to be the great protector, incapable of error.. meanwhile slick PR to gloss over, dismiss or ignore any and all problems, as long as the leadership remains intact.

I believe the original authors of the Constitution of the USA would be familiar with much of this, from a command and control perspective. Elaborate insurance and futures markets were already several hundred years old at that time, right?

This is a good list.

I prefer to exploit "cloud native" differences, but plan your off-ramps in advance. Plan, architect, and write up, then ensure the engineering of the native approach maintains that plan to exit.

You do not have to write to LCD, just have an exit strategy that fits inside your negotiated contract windows or regulatory grace periods for migration.
One of my subjects at highchool was technical drawing.

The teacher was a quite old man who was set on his ways. We would have to draw 3D pieces by hand, using our squares, bevels and compasses, and lining everything with an ink pencil afterwards, and he gave us a lot of homework to do, which he examined for imperfections.

I was incredibly bad a it. I would start a drawing, only to discover halfway through it that it didn't fit the sheet of paper I had and I had to change the perspective. My perpendiculars were never perfectly aligned. I would smear blots of ink with my tools and hands.

It was excruciating.

This is the point where I would usually say that I learned to enjoy the repetition and eventually came to appreciate it and be good at it. But that's not what happened.

Instead I started doing my homework using the computer, printing, and then tracing the points by hand. This resulted on cleaner-looking homework and took less time to do. What's surprising perhaps is that it enabled me to appreciate design more, now that I was no longer limited by the drawing technique, which was, I believe, my teacher's real interest (he was a painter outside of school. A very nice person, I didn't enjoy lying to him like that).

You might think that this would prevent me from performing well on exams, where a clean enough drawing (done by hand) was expected. The thing is: I could muster the effort to do a one-off drawing that was clean and precise, from time to time. Just not after every lesson. I actually got the maximum qualification on my province's technical drawing examination.

This is all to say: I agree with the Author. Once the tools are out there, trying to limit them is pointless. You must adapt your curriculum to the environment your pupils are in. If you don't, they will.
"overall traffic safety" is not a goal for MHLs for bikes, or motorcyclists; or seatbelt laws for car riders. Your first paragraph's question is the only relevant part of that.
Ah, another car vs bike culture war filled commentary section. Sadly a place where HN is not even immune.

To sum up the article, the effect of lots of bicyclists leading to careful driving is greater than the protective effect of wearing a helmet while biking. Because helmet laws do cause a drop in ridership, it's counterintuitively a net negative for cyclist safety. That is the claim of the article.

To refute this, one must show that the "critical mass theory" is not significant and that driver attentiveness to cyclists is not a function of the number of cyclists.

The claim is not refuted by giving studies showing that when cyclists crash and hit their head, then helmets are (incredibly) significant for reducing head injuries. Nor is the claim refuted by saying cyclists should not be in the road, or saying (without evidence) that there is no reduction in ridership from helmet laws (the article cites examples demonstrating that reduction).

So again, the car centric here need to focus on whether the critical mass effect is actually a real thing, or need to find the evidence that ridership is not a function of helmet laws (the data, generally and from this article, indicate that both are the case).
"Maybe this attention will help fix that?"

Fair enough and it sounds like it has. Maybe in future the YC title can be prefixed with something like 'Call to assist: ', for the benefit of those less inclined to edit such articles.
The way I see it the poachers are slowly ‘reverse breeding’ elephants with tusks out of existence.
Basically you don't want to have a discussion about something because 50%+ people were wrong about something at some point in history. And you give an example of slavery when rayiner was making a concrete point about marriage. Would ever post on a climate change thread about how once the majority of scientist believed earth was the center of the Universe and were wrong and therefore because majority of scientist was wrong once they are also wrong about the climate change today?
at what point is the punishment worse than the crime, such as if hundreds or thousands of people lose their job?
I'll cite it with anecdotal evidence: I've broken a bicycle helmet twice, and neither time involved a car.
Ever since I saw a picture of bacteria found in a tumor I have been fascinated. The more correlations I see uncovered, the more I wonder: did the bacteria colonize a tumor it found, or did the bacteria encourage the body to form a tumor to colonize?
Not to mention the abject hypocrisy of the federal government just last week crushing a strike by rail workers who wanted 7 days of sick leave (those Socialists!).
If someone is going to inspect my junk, I prefer that

a) they look me in the eye while they do it

b) the government doesn't get a series of images that they can keep forever
You've misread my comment. Of course it was news, but it didn't reveal anything spectacular about the structure of the financial markets, at least certainly not something WSB predicted ahead of time (as other commenters note, Superstonk only arose after the GameStop situation to concentrate financial conspiracy theories to that sub alone).
I use it with a few different email providers, including fastmail and a self hosted server. Works pretty well for what I need it to do.

The only feature it's missing which hurts is nested folders. All nested folders are displayed in a list structure, rather than a tree, which is a bit of a pain if you use a nested archive (think Thunderbird's Monthly Archive structure).
Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield Is Leaving in January
Damn what a terrible UX this is, no wonder Windows kicked their ass so hard with ME and XP. This reminded me to keep it simple and stupid proof whenever I want users to actually enjoy what I build, thanks!
I want you to read that a bit more slowly. And then explain to me how this isn't a paraphrase of "I don't believe in science and studying things."

It would help if you ack that the article encourages helmets. They are not trying to say to not wear them. They are arguing that the practicalities of how "mandates" work out cause more issues than they solve.

I, for one, fully accept that "more studies" would be good. I also always wear a helmet. I don't think either of those are good rebuttals. And any blanket statement of "I don't care what evidence there is," is almost certainly the wrong foot to be on.
The "set of small villains" is in fact basically every CEO and major shareholder. Corporate power is almost completely unchecked and both parties are completely owned by these corporations.

$1000 insulin only exists because the government has been bought and paid for to create a legal monopoly. This is state violence against people who need life-saving medication.
Cracked bikehelmet this morning due to black ice, still f'd due to hurting my foot badly when going down but honestly... without a bike helmet I would be in hospital for sure.
Ask HN: Is there an AI service to interpret a collection of articles?
I am not a developer, so I am looking for something simple where I can enter a series of URLs, articles, etc. and the AI will return some type of interpretation of all the information. Thanks!
One of my first real entries into "the industry" was as a beta tester for WC2:ToD on Mac OS. Warms my heart to see its included here. Shout out to all my Burning Blade bros from the ladder days!
I use it with Fastmail for my main email + calendar + todos, and I use it with Purelymail[1] for simply emails with no nonsense.

Both accounts, once setup, just behave.

On the groupware front, I use DavX5 and ICSx5 to do to calendar and todo sync to fastmail, and Tasks.org [2] to do the front end for the todos.

For my work accounts, I use the nine email app which lets me authenticate to exchange active sync without needing a work profile on my phone so I can see emails, calendar, todos etc.

Some people are already capable of rapidly gaining domain knowledge from openly available sources. Reading the top 10 books in a field, watching a 100 hours of recorded conference talks from expert practitioners, and reading about a thousand articles will give you more than enough context to operate in a domain, especially if you do some interviews with experts yourself and are DISCIPLINED about how you are learning the domain and building a mental model of the domain.

You could say that google is already halfway to being an AI assistant with how they try and infer the real intent behind a search query. The question is what is the cost when an AI is wrong and you don't know that they're wrong. I would not want to start a startup based on 'knowledge' from ChatGPT.
No, that's just for air traffic controllers and non-cops.
Sure, it also mean limiting the dataset of our children (i.e. the bane of ML), it means bit-rot for existing datasets.
Audi has a familiar-looking idea how to tackle this:

https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/press-releases/audi-urba...

Internal combustion cars do filter a lot of the ambient air already - a 2.0l engine at 2500RPM filters 150m3 of air per hour - that's as much as a small air purifier. It's just that it takes all this clean air and uses it for combustion, thus putting in more dirt than it filtered out.
But you haven't passed on any genes. You have only been passed genes.

That is, if the choice of language confuses people: You have only been given those genes. You haven't given any genes to anyone else who can give those genes further, which is what matters in an evolutionary perspective.

Like ever? Or while acting as an Air Marshal?
I've come to really enjoy observing birds in my yard. Their behavior creates this interesting little drama that's fun to just pay attention to. Especially when war breaks out. Crows VS Owls is quite a show.
Yes, and ...

Pre-plan your offramps in case of necessary migration, architect and document those plans, and maintain those plans in the documentation of each service, so you keep those off ramps in mind as the service evolves.
Air Marshals and the TSA are both pointless jobs programs and security theater. The problem of hijackers was solved in the morning of 2001/9/11 when the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 fought back against the hijackers. Since then, there have been numerous cases of passengers beating the shit out of any jackass trying to start trouble on a flight.

Locked cabin doors are also good. Metal detectors at airports would be fine, if they were staffed by private security contractors rather than the unaccountable TSA. Also their xray backscatter machines are pointless, their paranoia about shoes is pointless, and their insane paranoia about water-bottles is pointless. Other countries don't have these things, and things are fine for them. By all means have people walk through a metal detector to stop carryon handguns, but the rest of this crap is completely pointless.
They're improving the email display by reducing the amount of space showing the actual email?

By very rough measurement it's reducing the email display area by about an inch, dropping it from 4" to 3". I really don't want that, myself. I open an email because I want to read the email. That's my primary focus. One of the really nice things about the K9 interface has been that so much of the screen gets dedicated to the thing I actually care about (contrast this to the way that web interfaces like outlook.com love to almost relegate the email content to the bottom most corner)
There's a really big difference between cars and other hazards. All the other hazards for a cyclist are them hitting something which is a lot safer than them being hit by a vehicle that weighs a ton or two.
Yes but copilot and other mega corp evangelists are telling us that the machine is like a human. It learned from others and is now doing what any human would do. Music producers and artists signed and protected by large entertainment mega corps have deep pockets and are able to defend themselves against this micro dosey fantasy. Open source developers that spent their own free time to write code dont. Those people’s work is now taken for granted and monetised by [insert megacorp producing an ai]. The only way right now to fight back is to pollute github with nonsense code. Many of those in awe at what copilot and others can generate wont be able to tell the difference anyway.
I like to think of Industrial Revolution for counterexamples. It wiped out tens or hundreds of professions. No more blacksmiths in every village.

Two things happened: one, blacksmithing effectively was taken over by a different skill, that of configuring, servicing and operating industrial machines. There were no junior or senior blacksmiths anymore, seniors probably migrated their knowledge, and the whole field was taken over by non-blacksmiths.

The other thing is that a small proportion remained. Initially perhaps for niche goods that were too difficult or uneconomical to automate. Now blacksmiths do exist, a bit like craft coffee blenders and horse trainers. But the industry was nonetheless wiped out.

Will we see that crafting software will become a job for people trained in AI whispering? Perhaps they will never, or hardly ever, write any code, but will train extensively in software design. Much as a metallurgy engineer might know all crystalline forms of steel but have never swung a hammer.

Day 1 these jobs would likely get filled by senior devs, but there may be no new devs, junior or senior, except for niche applications.
You might be thinking of SheepShaver, a Mac emulator for BeOS and Linux. Its name is a play on the name ShapeShifter, an earlier emulator by the same develope, which was an Apple II emulator for the Amiga.
I would put it this way: the article's information might be useful if you are trying to decide whether or not to bike.

But if you have decided to bike, the article's information in no way means you should not wear a helmet.

Unfortunately, the clickbait headline mixes up these two very different things.
But in a sense, only the cost of capital is at risk, not the capital borrowed. The 80T number is capital borrowed. It’s definitely worthy of skepticism.

It’s definitely a liquidity risk given the short term and principal swaps requirements, hence mostly a central bank issue as a backstop. But potential losses in economic terms seem smaller.
Must admit, I've been in similar situation in much younger age, and I could not say, that completely resolved it now, looks like this is eternal problem.

So, I read lot of books on marketing, economics, and project management - overall, about few tens; than practice with my own tiny business, and have lot of talks on business forums..

Once I release, I could now see, what things make most business value, and should been considered most priority, and I concentrate on them.

Unfortunately, my new manager mind, from time to time have significant conflicts with engineering side of my personality, so I have to choose, to have enjoy as engineer, or to make business value.

If you interested in details, ask.
Yeah, but this is a problem where I can think of plausible solutions without hand-waving radical AI advancements.

For a factual claim, it could look at each sentence and see if the equivalent information exists on Wikipedia, or another online source, or even a book. And then link to that source. Google has already digested all that information, so it's just a matter of finding clever ways to connect them.

I don't think it would ever be flawless, but it could be turned into an extremely capable research assistant.
First time I heard it is more widespread. In that case, I don't understand why Niemann is being targeted so hard by chess.com (no opinion about Carlsen.)

Biased source in this case, but https://www.chess.com/article/view/online-chess-cheating says 10%, which is certainly more than I would have thought:

> Of the cheaters we have detected to date, 51 (10.2%) are grandmasters. 98 (19.6%) are international masters, and 160 (31.9%) are FIDE masters. More than 90% of these players are male.
I've heard a rumor that much of the modern windows UI is planned out by designers whom are all apple ecosystem. Looking at the win 11 settings menu, and at the surface laptop, it's clear they're copying the success of Apple. This is what happens when there's not a central vision for a product. It's all user studies and data psuedo science that just reflects what average users want - apple products.
Absurd rule. Imagine feeling sick and having to play 8 hours of bad chess, because the alternative is a potential career end.

Withdrawing already has a significant punishment. You lost.

I also fail to see how it is unsportsmanlike by itself. All else aside, why shouldn't you be allowed to withdraw from a game?
Well, that is interesting, but head injuries are often from just falling over from any height, not really from being hit by cars. Most traumatic brain injuries in older adults are from falling from standing height or less.
Easy guide to using AI to generate 2D assets for gamedev
AI has completely changed the way gamedevs should create game assets. Now you can generate amazing assets with a simple workflow.

In this video I show how I'm generating some cool 2D space ship assets. The same workflow I show in the video will work for all kinds of things.
The intuitively obvious approach here is to have some kind of schema-guided or constraint-guided CRDT. That is, you get the guarantee that not only do you end up with valid JSON, you get the guarantee that f(that_json) == true. I imagine this is considerably easier said than done, but I'm curious if there's research (or results!) in the area.
It didn't hurt that yes, they advertised it, but I don't think it's fair to discount the effect that the "technorati" had on increasing its adoption.

That is, pretty much every tech person I know switched to Chrome because it was just so much better than what existed at the time, primarily its faster JS speed with v8, and I think most importantly for actual end-user experience, per-process tab isolation so that one bad tab wouldn't crash the whole browser. These were real, important innovations that had the tech elite quickly adopting Chrome.

So what happens once it's adopted by the tech elite? First, they push for making it the default install on new computers, which has a huge effect. Next, every time Mom or Dad or Grandma asks kid/grandkid for tech support, the first thing they do is say "Install Chrome first, that should help with a lot of your problems" - I certainly know I did it with my family members.

So while I don't want to discount advertising, I also like to say that it's easy to advertise great products - you just need to let people know the product exists, because eventually the product's benefits are self-apparent.
The errors are due to timeouts due to being overloaded. You can just hit retry.
Would be nice if SO added the ChatGPT response by default that's hidden by default and prevent others from adding sufficiently similar responses.
These daily briefing emails I get at work remind me that "We are watching you." I complain about this to our security team and ask why they let Microsoft read our emails. They do not give me much of a response. I assume they get something out of the bargain.

Who gets the pop-up? If both Alice and Bob, and they simultaneously give conflicting replies, you're right back to where you started.
Why are there many post about France on HN?
That's because it's never just nostalgia. Sometimes things were better in the past. Take Google search for example. Everyone on HN knows it used to be better and that it's been getting worse every year. Of course, a lot of that was not (originally) Google's fault because spammers get more sophisticated every year, but I think Google deserves a share of the blame because they have a conflict of interest by running the ad network so many spammers use.

I still believe Classic Mac OS (culminating with OS 9) was way easier and more pleasant to use. Everyone knows the story though: it didn't keep up on the back-end. Application crashes would frequently bring down the entire operating system. Multi-user security was non-existent (you were basically always running as "root").

But when Mac OS X came along they abandoned the dedication to ease-of-use and focused on power user features to go along with a more modern (UNIX-based) kernel and userland. That led to the computers we have today: for more complicated, mixed metaphors, and borderline unusable by grandma.
‘This will be awesome’: Musk leaks Twitter's Hunter Biden files
This is the right way to look at the issue. It is the same way you should look at Bitcoin. It is very possible Bitcoin will hit 100k someday. But the interesting measurements will be how many loaves of bread can you buy with that one Bitcoin at that time.
That’s horrifying and I have a hard time imagining that sort of thing happening in any functional democracy.
It really depends on your level of commitment to getting the infotainment out of the vehicle.

Most cars will have the infotainment in a CAN or flexray network with a bunch of other stuff in the cockpit.

Theoretically unless other systems are tightly integrating with the infotainment (using their GPS localization data for example) you could theoretical just snif the network through your OBD connector and find out what messages your infotainment sends (i.e. whatever messages dissapear when you power the infotainment off).

Most of the time the Body Control Module (the master of ceremonies in the cockpit) is just checking that a particular range of message IDs are being sent to 'assume' that the infotainment is 'online'. So sending those messages on the OBD port as a man-in-the-middle of sorts would theoretically keep all the other systems happy.

So I suppose it really depends on how far you are willing to go. Also I think it would be difficult to make the trim look any good after removing the central infotainment system.
Sipser’s is quite good and more introductory than most. You can try also Code by C. Petzold if you need some general understanding about computers and also Lectures on Computation by R. Freynman. And MIT OCW have lectures by Sipser.
Bad input equals bad output. They've trained these models on poorly written content that's already been an issue itself.
