Would people want to drive cars built by people with this mindset, on roads designed by people with this mindset, to get to airports to fly in aircraft built and regulated by people with this mindset?

Trick question! Almost everyone does and doesn't see anything wrong with it.

I would not want to get into an expensive risky rocket, since I don't see the benefit that would be commensurate with the enormous cost. If the cost were radically reduced, I might try it, and in that very much cheaper rocket the safety level would be much higher (or else the actual cost, including risk x value of my life, would swamp the ticket price.)

I have lots of eye floaters which annoy me when I'm looking at bright uniform surfaces, such as white paper or white background, but I hardly notice them with dark mode.
This is manipulative and in bad faith.
This is the first new app I have downloaded in a long time, it is a lot of fun!
When you find a bug later on related to a specific commit, the "why" in the commit can help explain the "what" that resulted in a bug.

It's all in addition to the changelog and other documentation if following a defined release methodology.

Personally I like having the "why" in a comment (with a pointer to the bug tracker item) if adding code. That doesn't work as well when deleting code, and for that, the commit message works as well as anything else.
I don't see how any of that is relevant. They're not targeting the majority of economic activity, nor even the majority of cash transactions. They're only targeting cash transactions so unusually large that it's hard to imagine a legitimate purpose for them. Small cash transactions are unaffected.
Yes but the issue is that while laying off so many people could have reduced their burn to zero, losing half of your top 100 advertisers AND adding billions in debt, plus losing most of your staff is a recipe for disaster. Sorry if I didn't phrase that well in my comment.

I do agree that they would have collapsed eventually and this is just an accelerated version of that
What I mean is not allowing responses of which the content is auto generated not that the text syntax/prosa is auto formulated.

I don't believe any form of auto detection of ChatGPT-like text will long term work, even through it has a certain style you can change that style or post process it and that's just the first version of ChatGPT.
I wouldn’t believe that. It’s a financial scheme where they were somehow able to get massive collateralized loans to buy lots of inventory whose value is very volatile.

It is reminiscent of an attempt to corner silver or something. I’m sure the insiders cashed out.

The iPad (12.9") is what got me into comics and manga, the screen size is almost perfect so it's a very pleasant experience.
That's the main reason I greatly prefer dark mode. I'm surprised it's not mentioned more often, since they're quite common as you age. I've had one since around age 35.
In the embedded world the specifics often outweigh the general. Specifics like - what storage are you using? What clock does it run at? What page size are you using (you'd want to pass this to sqlite for best results)? What locks are you using? Is there a 1mS undocumented sleep on startup to allow some peripheral to stabilise that accidentally got pulled in to the main code path (has happened to me - the initialize function didn't set the initialized flag)?

I'd expect closer to 5uS than 5mS, but I'm not that familiar with the ESP32 devices

Unrelated to dark mode, but is a visual game changer.

People should also take the time out to get appropriate light bulbs for their studies and work desks.

I want to speak more on visual settings in web design and GUIs, but I’m eating some corn chips. In brief, I’m starting to understand that accessibility concerns don’t refer exclusively to people with certain conditions, but even those who want to use computers comfortably.
That's what I was thinking, too. (I'm not a car person and someone can easily school me here).
Yeah, so maybe it's a lot murkier then we all understand. From a previous response, it looks like this case sidestepped the issue by ruling the photograph was not original enough so didn't fall under copyright protection (I guess?).

I think the Prince prints from Andy Warhol are a better example [0]. I see a lot of articles from Oct 2022, so is this case still being tried?

Copyright is a quagmire of "rule-of-thumb" policies and, in my opinion, often invalid assumptions. Understanding what and what does not fall under copyright protection is really about what the legal system understands it to be and how to convince a judge. I don't really like arguing "what's correct" when it comes to copyright violation as that's irrelevant, it's really about "what the legal system thinks is correct".

One of the few pieces on copyright that's made sense to me is the "What Colour are your bits?" article by mksala [1] which, if I'm remember correctly, is arguing that it's less about the artifact produced than the provenance of how it was created.

I could not tell you the last time I had Windows in the home. I would guess around 2013. After then I kind of went (almost) 'Full Stallman' - I had been moving that way for a few years already.

The only Microsoft product I have is an old Xbox 360 that was updated once and then left permanently offline.

Side story - I remember in late 2001 when the 1st Xbox was coming out and I was in a retail store. There was couple looking to see what consoles where around and what to choose. The husband saw the Xbox and the Microsoft name on it. "I'm not supporting that thing! They have made my life a living hell, Mark my worlds they will do anything to dominate the market and I do NOT support that!" Seeing how they are trying to still buy their way to success, his words ring true today.

Surely that's just an oversight from whoever set up the group policy, and notifying them should fix it for everyone in your company.

It depends on the time and risk you’re willing to take.

If you’re high risk, low time then I’d just put it all in Ethereum.

If you have a large amount of time, I’d start an online business and use the $100k to hire international contractors.
The problem is with buying cars site unseen. I follow some car groups that revolve around tuning BMW engines for lots of power. It became a meme to post before and after pictures of heavily modified, drag strip/race prepped cars and then on the back of Carvana trucks some months later.

I feel really sorry for people who bought some of those 340s and M3s.

It’s just too easy to unload junk cars on companies like Carvana. Dealerships have the tools to sniff this stuff out during trades.
It's stock pihole functionality, just the basic groups management feature and default blocklist. Using the stock pihole docker container. There are some helpful blog posts [1, 2] in the top google search results for this setup but honestly very easy setup. I like simple setups.

Dark mode is harder to read, especially after a long day. But my wife has a light sleep and surfing light mode at night while being in bed is not an option.
Ah, so astronauts are inherently much more valuable than your average citizen?

Our course is clear! We must design launchers as cheaply as possible, to launch as many people into space as possible, to transmute them from relatively worthless disposable units into valuable astronaut heroes. Even if 10% of them die (say) the net increase in their overall value will make the effort totally worth it. They don't even have to do anything up there; just being an astronaut is inherently valuable, I am being told.
I'm reading this thread with css adjustments from the Dark Reader Firefox extension that I just learned about a few weeks ago, and damn, I am soooo happy with it.

Tell HN: Amazon shows different (worse) pricing when logged in
I was browsing Amazon in incognito (via Brave) today. I found some shoes I wanted to get, copied the URL, and pasted it into a Brave window that is logged into my Amazon account.

The incognito window showed $79 for my size/color, but the logged-in window showed $85. It didn't matter how many times I reloaded either page — neither changed. Ultimately I logged the incognito window into my Amazon account to get that pricing, since it was clear there was no other way. The purchase went through at $79 + tax.

But this experience makes me much more wary about Amazon pricing. There is not one 'price' — there is just the price they're showing you right now. They may show higher prices to logged in accounts, possibly based on attributes of the accountholder (buying history, zip code, etc.). It makes me think that I shouldn't just browse in incognito — I should be using a VPN as well.

Of course, it's also possible this is a glitch (one that just happens to be profitable for Amazon).

Here's the full link (I tried pasting with and without the tracking code at the end): https://www.amazon.com/KEEN-Voyageur-Height-Breathable-Hiking/dp/B071Y5XFRS?th=1&psc=1

@dang, can you confirm if this is what happened, and under what circumstances a popular Tell HN can be flagged or otherwise wiped from /ask?
People act like musk is the genius who invented layoffs or being a cut throat executive. Yeah, firing people saves money. Yeah a ship can still run with a skeleton crew.

However, personally I think the story of a platform supporting thousands of families is more interesting than a platform serving to enrich a small (and openly toxic) few
I still don’t get why people would want to type ‘:=‘ instead of just ‘=‘, but okay.

Is there a calculation as to how many hours would be lost spent on the road because of a speed limit? Like I don't know, say every day people spend a million hours driving on the highway, and a speed limit would bump it to 1.2 million hours (no idea, just made up numbers)?
> Types are firstclass values

That sounds interesting to me. Part of why I don’t like GADTs in OCaml is that it feels like you’re trying to fit a programming language within the syntax of the type system.
If people like that dressed like you, you'd probably be laughing at them even harder and sending around the Steve Buscemi "how do you do, fellow kids?" meme in the group chat.

Well, since its described in a paper and there are open source GPT implementations (e.g., GPT-NeoX), probably not much.
When I went to buy my car from Carvana, the guy that helped me said that the cost of used cars was incredible. People were buying cars, then trading them in a month or two later for a profit. He suggested I come back in a month or two to do the same to get a newer model.

I'm not sure what the folks at Carvana were thinking, but it seems like even with a wild used car market and high inflation, this shouldn't reasonably be possible. Or at least, their sales associates shouldn't be pushing it.
This is not my field and I am genuinely curious, are we fucked or not? I just listened to a 3 hour podcast from Lex Fridman with these guests:

“Bjørn Lomborg is author of "False Alarm". Andrew Revkin is a climate journalist (21 years at NY Times).”

They refute many of the claims in this article about how much of a doomsday event faces us.

Are they full of shit? Is this article sensationalist?

My gut tells me Lex’s guests are downplaying too much and this article is sensationalizing the issue, but that may be my bias to look for the middle ground.
Why do you think that would help?

I can imagine two different answers to that and depending on which one you tend to think more there are two different answers to your question.

If you are thinking: space is high up therefore the higher we start the easier we will get there.

The problem with this is that getting into outer space is not that hard, staying there is the hard bit. The international space station orbits about 408km away from the surface of the earth. That is not a long distance. If you would have a car which can travel the same speed a car can usually travel but straight up you could reach that altitude in about 4 hour easy driving.

What is important is what would happen after you reach that elevation and turn off the engine of your car. If you have seen astronauts serenly drifting in space, you might expect that your imaginary car would do the same. But that is not what would happen. You would see that your car starts falling and rapidly!

In fact there is a word for such a flight path. It is called a suborbital space flight. Space flight because it went to space, but “sub” orbital because it lacked something to stay in orbit.

What is that something it lacked? Why do the astronauts float gracefully while your car plumets? The trick is that the astronauts plumet too! They are constantly falling back towards earth, they just go so fast sideways that the earth rolls out from under them. In fact that is what an orbit is. You are falling around the earth with a very high sideways speed.

In essence staying in space equals being in orbit which further equals going very fast.

So now you can see that being high is not the hard bit of staying in space. Flying as fast as a bullet is the hard bit, and of course starting from high won’t help with that.

But! You might think a different thing why launching from a high elevation might help. Maybe you already know that staying in space == going fast. So you are thinking: what hinders us from going fast? The drag of our atmosphere! If we would launch from high there would be less atmosphere around us, thus there would be less drag, thus we wouldn’t waste so much energy to fight it. And you would be right! If you could launch from a high elevation you could spare some energy because there the atmosphere is thinner. But when you run the numbers you see that this is a very small percentage of your total energy expenditure. Mostly because our rockets fly through the dense part of our atmosphere relatively quickly wasting only a little energy to fight drag. Launching from a high elevation would come with it’s own set of challenges of course and wouldn’t help that much relatively.

So depending on which thing you were thinking about you have an answer. Hope it explained the problem better. If you have any more questions about any of the details let me know and I will try my best to explain.

Also sorry for answering this long a seemingly simple question. Would love to answer shorter, but you know it is “rocket science”. ;)
It’s a real bummer to me that hype around fusion has faded so much because of the false hopes that this sort of thing barely registers on HN anymore.
You can't plan for unknown unknowns.

If you develop a feature and it turns out the feature is not great, you can choose to ship a game that's not great, or fix it.

Once you have committed to a ship date and moving the date is no longer an option, fixing it means working over time.

These crunches often come from the team themselves who are identifying that things aren't as good as they could be, want to fix it, but don't have the power to push dates back.

Update: One problem is that creative teams are rarely satisfied, and would love to polish things forever. The production team needs to be constantly pushing back on the creative team to leave things alone and call it done.

Working out what is "good enough" is really really hard.

Update:
Also, I wrote this comment before reading the article, and I don't mean to defend 6 months of crunch. That clearly _is_ bad management and exploitative. When you have a few bad features you can take a few weeks or a month to fix them. When you are 6 months out and only now just announcing a release date, there is lots you can do. You can cut the bad bits, you can hire more staff, you can move the date.
The car I drove in HS, 30 years ago got 25mpg. My current car, very similarly sized, gets 27mpg. Sure, I can merge on a freeway 4 seconds faster but the vast majority of efficiency improvements have not gone towards reducing our oil dependence.
Never really thought of that in this way. Do you think Russian poets, writers, composers, artists of the early and mid 20th century were a product of the Soviet culture more than the Tsarist/pre-Soviet world?
Along this vein, I've heard somewhere that pimps wear lots of jewelry because they can pawn it for bail money. Apparently cash can be seized on arrest, but jewelry is classified as some sort of personal property and thus won't be taken.
This is why I use dark mode too – and it's made a huge difference for me. My floaters are particularly noticeable on white-backgrounded screens/webpages on my 43" external monitor where because, I assume, my eyes have to dart across greater distances than when I'm using my MBP 14".
Except this math doesn't always work. 40k people die in the US in car crashes and nobody really cares. One idiot tried to smuggle something onto a plane in his shoe a couple of decades ago (didn't even kill anybody), and now for all these decades 1.5 million people _per day_ must spend countless hours in lines to take their shoes off.
That sounds good! Two other solutions:

- low pass filter. Assuming the dust is small compared to the expected movement in the groove, you can filter it out electornically.

- dust detector. Nikon had a cool 35mm scanner... instead of RGB, it had an additional IR layer at an angle just to detect dust. So, automated dust removal tools knew if a black spot in an image was supposed to be there, or if it was actually dust. Here, extra optics would know if the laser was reading dust and could mute/filter the sound during that time.

There are offline language translators. Translate offline to, say, French and back. Or better else, keep it in French. AI will not have enough data samples to learn that mapping.
Well said, and I agree with every point. I love Solo Leveling, and it’s very much action based like Berserk, but it will never reach the same depths of emotion Berserk can elicit.

I discussed it with him, and he says the 14 minutes was someone else. Also, he's not that interested in Minecraft anymore and prefers Terraria. He's currently helping his older cousin beat all the bosses there.

He also claims to have beaten Civ 6 at Deity level, admittedly by following strategies he learned in Youtube, which is frustrating to me because I'm struggling on Immortal figuring stuff out on my own. At least I can still beat him in chess.
