Probably more than you’d expect.

It has to do with pensions (which are very generous). Due to how pension benefits vest (by years worked, not hours), the railroad would rather have 0.5x workers working for 2x hours.

Railroads also save money if they can burn out workers (and have them leave voluntarily) before they fully vest.
I wonder if we’ll all start wearing some kind of markers that these cars can more easily pick up. Like a blind person’s cane could be a specific hue or be otherwise easy to detect by driverless cars. Or cars could detect the UWB signal (like AirTags use) from our phones which is very precise.

Basically, maybe there’s better ways than standard vision (which for computers is still kinda basic compared to a person) to solve the pedestrian hitting problem.
That’s only a fraction of what this ToS Language bans.
How about framing it as a personal opinion then? Don’t speak for everyone.

It’s publicly available information to begin with.
What exactly is the issue?
Yup, exactly. "There was a 1% national accident rate before autopilot but now it is 0.5%, aren't things great?" Not really, because my personal accident risk just went up from 0.1% to 0.5%.
Elder Sign works really well as a solo game, in addition to being a fun co-op game.
That's interesting. It seems it's not great at raw calculation, but if you ask it to explain its reasoning, it derives steps from previous results, and arrives at the correct answer. It's similar to the sibling comment about asking it to tell a story.

True. Like if media is waiting outside a courthouse or something. "We are down at the courthouse waiting for so and so...".

But if someone was tracking me, I would absolutely want a clear policy to have it taken down. I don't know anyone who would disagree with this.

I think its good though because there is an inherent fascination in people to want to know where people are (like celebrities) and to watch where they go. And a lot of this information could be collected by social media posts if someone really wanted to.

Like an SBF tracker for instance...would be interesting to get a notification when he gets transferred to prison and to the courthouse. But if you happened to be in SBF's situation, you would prefer your privacy.

I think its a big thing. People are looking at it as just one small thing that he does for himself, but the right to privacy of location is a big deal. And mainly because everyone would prefer to be in control of their privacy. And also, posting pictures on social media, or someone seeing you in the street, is public, but shouldn't give someone the right to repost this with live GPS coords. Except if someone is like "I'll be signing books, come down and meet me" which is giving permission, which is allowed by the rules.

Sigh. Privacy is a good thing! But now its politicized, so people for it turn against it.
It's not new at all, but Cosmic Encounter blew my mind wide open. It's far and away the most chaotic board game I've ever played. I love it.

The object of the game is to occupy ten planets (you start with five) via combat, negotiation, or shenanigans. Each player drafts two unique powers, each of which breaks the rules somehow. Just for instance, in the last game I played, one player had the power "you start with ten planets, but your planets are only worth half." Eventually I won by causing this player to swap places, but not powers, with me. Some such BS happens every single game, and never the same way twice.
Yea, the whole "looks old = bad" meme rears its head again. Some of the most usable web sites in existence like Craigslist and McMaster-Carr look "old" but they do what you need them to do and do it cross-platform/cross-browser.
While I was homeless, I began getting really concerned about people knowing so much about my life and my physical location. I wrote about that in a piece called Lessons Learned from Writing the San Diego Homeless Survival Guide. Excerpt:

While homeless in Fresno, I began identifying myself online as "in California" and sometimes as "no longer in San Diego" but I intentionally did not actively advertise the move. A lot of people continued to believe I was in downtown San Diego well after I had left San Diego County entirely and my stress levels began to go down as people mistakenly assumed I was somewhere else.

While homeless, I generally did not tell people where I was camping, either online or offline. I felt this was a safety issue. I didn't want people to know where I was camped.

I am not a fan of Elon Musk, but the HN standard is to take a charitable interpretation of things where possible. The charitable interpretation is that he's socially awkward, overly in the limelight and learned a lesson the hard way about how online information about your whereabouts is potentially very dangerous information and decided to use his experience to inform company policy.

As a footnote, I really, really like the way this was presented, showing the old and new policies side-by-side and highlighting the pertinent changes. Kudos to whomever put this together.
Alternatively, keep burning fossil fuels, but overproduce renewables on average, and use the waste energy for carbon capture.

I just had a run in with this yesterday. I asked it to explain box embeddings. It's a pretty niche topic so I didn't expect it to give the right answer. But the answer it gave sounded so confident but it was so wrong. It took a not al vector embeddings approach but replaced that with box. I tried correcting it but it refused to budge and still sounded confident.
If the panel gap is not "neat", which is not the same as "small", then it looks bad.

I don't know if I could find a source, but it would probably be something like Forbes in the '80's: Lee Iacocca (of Chrysler) said that they learned from Japanese collaboration that if they made their gaps wider, then they appeared neater because they appeared parallel. And it was cheaper to make a wider gap, and it was easier for QA to pass the cars. Otherwise the cars would have to be whacked with mallets until the narrow gaps looked right, and that slows the line, and that indirectly adds cost.

[This doesn't mean that the Japanese collaborators were making huge panel gaps on their own cars, it simply indicates that Iacocca('s people) got a certain idea from them]
The account is back, and this seems to be the condition required.
They could do lots of things to comply with the new and arbitrary terms. But why? This is public info that's on many different sites and literally broadcast to anyone with a radio.
Whose knowledge is trustworthy? We've somehow come to associate certain institutions or scientific authorities with truth when that is about the furthest from real science:

"Have no respect whatsoever for authority; forget who said it and instead look what he starts with, where he ends up, and ask yourself, Is it reasonable?"
-Richard P. Feynman

"One of the great commandments of science is, "Mistrust arguments from authority."
-Carl Sagan

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual."

Mea culpa.

All I was trying to say is that beyond a point, it's not _just_ the algorithm, you need to pay attention to mechanical sympathy.

Do well-designed algorithms outperform naive algorithms? Almost always. Is designing the algorithm well sufficient? I'd think not.
Yes, what happens is that the power draw is large enough to cause the heater to see that as a demand for heat. There are little converters for this that ensure that the thermostat has enough power to run and the heater only sees a potential free switch when there is actual demand. Google 'Nest Thermostat C-wire adapter'. This is especially convenient if you'd otherwise have to run new wiring which can require a lot of work.
I don't know anyone who would want their live location tracked without their permission. If you do, I am very interested to know why!
Good luck making the next step of memory miniaturization with a magnetic technology.

There's a reason magnetics were popular when circuits where finger-sized, and completely disappeared when they got smaller. It may not be impossible to make 3D magnetic circuits that match 2D electronic ones, but it's very close to that.
How is that impossible? Plenty of libraries are available for COBOL, especially if you use COBOL.NET
We’ve updated our policy to prohibit sharing someone else’s live location
No sound from a machine can come close to 235dB naval sonar pulses. Cetaceans voices can reach 180dB, 40dB more than a jet taking off. A machine may be annoying to cetaceans but it isn't going to kill them. Silt and tailing plumes made by mining aren't going to come close to the silt dumped into the ocean by rivers or disturbed by submarine landslides.

I say forge ahead and make corrections as we learn more.

I recall reading an analysis of the self driving safety stats a few years back that concluded, if you counted incidents requiring human intervention as if they were accidents, then based on total miles driven, humans far outperformed self driving, by like an order of magnitude. In other words, companies (waymo included) were sugar coating their stats for good PR, though Waymo was still at the front of the pack.

Some other comments on this thread suggest that self-driving is only perceived to be unsafe, but is statistically much more safe. Unless the stats improved significantly since then (and what specifically achieved that?), and an independent analysis can agree, I'm not trusting corporate PR.

> They are the ones that don't want free speech

Content moderation and free speech are not mutually exclusive. Absolute free speech is not the only kind of free speech, nor is the definition of "free speech" the same globally.

> So here is a policy that everyone agrees with and increases safety on the platform. And they are not happy. It's such a funny situation.

Not upset, just confused that a free speech absolutist is banning people for exercising the version of free speech that he claims to be protecting.

I don’t think Powell needs to imitate Volcker here. Corporate, Household, and state debt levels are so much higher today than in the late 70’s / early 80’s that economic activity will falter with far less than double digit interest rates, causing inflation to fall quickly.
This is how pretty much every wall mounted thermostat works. Not exactly a differentiating feature.
We experienced a surreal scene at one of our workplaces. We were subcontractors and therefore lower status than full employees. It was an open floor plan, next to it was a meeting room. One guy left the room while on the phone, went straight to where we were working, and said "Ok I left the meeting to isolate myself, what did you want to say?". As if we simply didn't exist.
Yes, it is larger than iOS (which is why I mentioned Safari on Android as a counterexample), but then Android users can already install Blink or Gecko-based browsers, unlike iOS users?

As for what I imagine, that's a cheerfully unpleasant way to phrase that, I'd be surprised if FF-on-Android was more than 2%, likely it's in the 0.5% to 1% range (but it's still far superior to Chrome or even Brave/Vivaldi/Opera due to its support for extensions, most users don't know what they're missing).
> Many cities are doing it

Can you give an example of a such a city (other than the obvious examples of having sections of the inner core of a city where car usage is restricted, which is pretty much the norm in many older European cities)? But it doesn't make any sense to build (or even maintain) a city with roads designed for cars, then not allow them to be used for that purpose. If the roads and other car-based infrastructure were re-purposed in a way that made them clearly unsuitable for cars, again, as I said, you don't need to ban them - it just wouldn't be feasible or practical to use them for the vast majority of people.
My goodness how the mighty Economist has fallen. This personal gripe

It's not because of free speech, if you look at every top comment in this thread you will find plenty less than agreeable ones, more than usual for hn in fact. I would argue the same thing happens on every thread related to Musk, Trump and Ye. Perhaps it is a coincidence, or even just inherent consequence of the demographic they target. I believe there might be an easier explanation though, especially if you consider how conservative politicians as of late have been getting a lot of loans and coaching in pr strategy. Some russian oligarchs even publicly made statements of similar nature. After all, what's a little shared botfarm between friends?
Twitter banned posting images of people against their will in December of last year. This sounds like a natural extension of that. There are caveats you can read about like incidental people in a crowd and I'm sure those caveats apply as well

> Tesla themselves released safety data quarterly for years.

The reports they have released have been pretty rudimentary and therefore misleading. I'm glad they released the data when they did and they should keep doing it and expand it to FSD beta with disengagements: https://twitter.com/Tweetermeyer/status/1488673180403191808

> you can find endless videos of user experiences. I said thousands of hours before, but it very well could be hundreds of thousands of hours.

I don't really give Tesla all that much credit for allowing their users to publish video of them using the software and hardware that they paid for, especially when they have asked users to consider Tesla's reputation when choosing what to publish. Further, while videos can reveal interesting qualitative information, they are a really bad substitute for the quantitative data that Tesla is already sitting on and choosing not to release.

The CEO of Tesla seems to think it does. He tried to bail on the Twitter acquisition at the last second. Didn't work out well obviously.

Pretty sure he has the exact same attitude to the liabilities involving people getting killed by using his "Full Self Driving" beta test.
To be more specific, societies are always threatened by actors who wield massive unilaterally-exercised power, who are only countered when enough other people band together and pool their own power in opposition.

I just checked my Amazon order history and I bought my Nest thermostat 10 years ago this past October.

I’ve got some beef with the original design, for example there’s no good reason why they don’t support a local thermocouple versus Wi-Fi local weather, but overall I have to say it’s been a welcome addition to that household. The installation was painless and with a propane furnace I’m certain that it has saved me thousands of dollars over the years.

The ElonJet account has also been unbanned: https://twitter.com/ElonJet

When I said last thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33988883) I was awaiting to see what moderation rationale Elon would use I was not expecting "making up new rules" and banning ex post facto.

But unbanning the account without an apology is somehow weirder.
ElonJet should just recreate and rebrand as EJetDogPics. In addition to tweeting when his jet moves around, they also send out cute dog pics. That way, their account isn't just 'dedicated' to sharing someones live location.

Sorry, but I don't understand how you could take a charitable interpretation of Elon Musk's history when it comes to privacy. This is the same guy that hired a detective to try and investigate someone he disliked (the whole 'pedo guy' incident). He's been unmasking low level employees as rage bait for his Twitter crowd. He's shared sensitive information with far right individuals.
Isn't the stablecoin considered a financial instrument? The devil may be in the details, but the high level facts remain. People could not access financial instruments that they own, and that could be considered newsworthy.
> I think the problem we have with self-driving cars is more social than technological at this point.

> it's a hypothetical so give me some leeway on this!

IMO you should not base (and broadcast) your opinions about safety on hypothetical statistics. I don't even believe it's true that overall statistics show self-driving is safer than humans. IIRC prior reports showed that companies were selectively picking statistics about safety.
> On March 14, 2006, Gawker launched Gawker Stalker Maps, a mashup of the site's Gawker Stalker feature and Google Maps. After this, Gawker Stalker—originally a weekly roundup of celebrity sightings in New York City submitted by Gawker readers—was frequently updated, and the sightings are displayed on a map. The feature sparked criticism from celebrities and publicists for encouraging stalking. Actor and director George Clooney's representative Stan Rosenfeld described Gawker Stalker as "a dangerous thing". Jessica Coen said that the map is harmless, that Gawker readers are "for the most part, a very educated, well-meaning bunch", and that "if there is someone really intending to do a celebrity harm, there are much better ways to go about doing that than looking at the Gawker Stalker".

> On April 6, 2007, Emily Gould appeared on an edition of Larry King Live hosted by talk show host Jimmy Kimmel during a panel discussion titled "Paparazzi: Do They Go Too Far?" and was asked about the Gawker Stalker. Kimmel accused the site of potentially assisting real stalkers, adding that Gould and her website could ultimately be responsible for someone's death.

After the hand finishes, reset the game to the state where somebody misplayed, and then talk it through. What information did each of the players actually have? How did the player who needed something to happen try to signal that's what they needed to happen? How did the other players understand that action (or lack of action)? Was there a way the signaling could have been clearer? If there were multiple possibilities for what the signal meant, could the other players have disambiguated it somehow?

This should not be an acrimonious process. Think of it as a blameless postmortem. The goal is not to decide who made a mistake, it is to understand how to get better as a group and avoid losing the game the same way again. It will also help everyone empathize with the other players, since they'll actually understand what information the other players had and what their thought process was.

As you get better as a group, you should quickly get to a state where either it's clear to the player who misplayed that they did in fact make a mistake (and they'll apologize before the hand is even over) or everyone agrees it was unavoidable.
