Haha I love this! There was a gentleman that put his entire life savings on red and televised the event [0].

In reality for anyone reading, if you do want to gamble against the house, I suggest playing Craps and betting the Don't Pass Line. After surviving the first roll(s) and the button has been placed, you're allowed to place an additional bet called "laying the odds". This is the best bet in the casino. It is exactly 50/50, 0% house edge. The total casino edge for this combibed bet is less than 1% [1], where are roulette, red or black can have a house edge over 5% [2].

It won't auto-level the wings for you in an airbus, however unless you're in an unusual configuration in alternate or direct laws (requiring a significant series of failures), the bank angle is limited by the aircraft anyway (whether you're on AP or not). For reference, in my 10 years of operating Airbus aircraft I have seen alternate law just once, we train it in the sim regularly but it's not a common occurrence.

Pressing ALT is taught as the correct thing when you're not completely sure what to do but for a fully unusual attitude (e.g. really nose-high or nose-low, or an acute bank angle) then currently the procedure is to handle it manually. To be honest, to get a large aircraft into that situation requires a pilot to screw it up badly in the first place, the AP won't get you there (well it might but hasn't happened yet).

A couple of years ago most airlines started training a more verbose method of recovery (disengage, push/pull, roll, thrust, stabilise - is the mantra) in response to studies conducted by Boeing and Airbus. Before airlines I used to compete in and teach advanced aerobatics so I'm not completely happy with that procedure (e.g. why push/pull first if you have huge bank on, only going to make things worse) but it's what the industry is pushing right now.

Overall though I think the bigger issues with pilot error are not things like unusual attitudes, yes they do happen from time to time but far more incidents occur from unstable approaches and silly inputs during takeoff. Hence why most changes in regulation right now are in those areas.

This may or may not help, but this mouse has variable acceration (DPI) and I've been pretty happy with it.

USD transfers are cumbersome. Bitcoin can be sent to someone with an internet connection. My colleague sends bitcoins to his family living in an OPPRESSED_REGIME with currency controls and high inflation, where the government artifically lowers the official exchange rate of USD.
That list reminds me of the various kinds of Behavioral UML Diagrams.
This absolutely screams red flags.
If I squint, I can understand the value of a non-audit-audit in some circumstances. But I don't understand the value of it in this circumstance, except for the value in obscuring one's finances behind a "serious" auditor's letterhead.

Put another way: the context is anxious investors. Is this intended to assuage them, or is it intended to dupe them?
Not a movie, but a short book: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein. One of my favorite stories in general, and one of the best AI stories.
Tilting at windmills is an English idiom which means "attacking imaginary enemies", originating from Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote.

such a weird article. i didn't know we were being propagandized to death with anti-EV articles. i thought it was just the opposite.

the headline of the NYT article he cites seems insightful and correct, and does not support his assertion of anti-EV bias or "lies".

that said, i do believe enough that, due to Jevons Paradox, we're all doomed -- with or without EVs -- as long as we allow the existing oil to come out of the ground.

They spent 18 months building one near my house, only to finish it as the company really started to go into the dumpster.

It's near the offramp for the dealer's row in my town, so I suspect that the Cadillac, BMW, or Mercedes dealership will buy it for pennies on the dollar as an advertising billboard.
> Subsidising the cost of good-but-unprofitable service using investment dollars (Carvana was losing thousands per sale pre-pandemic) doesn’t build a sustainable business unless it’s part of a strategy.

Unfortunately that summarizes a fairly large fraction of the presentations aimed at VCs.
>Whoever the carvana replacement is going to be, they should subcontract out the business of offering auto loans and they should borrow less to fund acquisition of cars, because the auto business is cyclical and they need to be able to survive the downturns

Alternatively, could they hedge their exposure somehow?
> A jpeg straight from a camera is 'more lossless' than a downscaled 8-bit png that was created from it.

Well there's your problem right there: PNGs don't come from cameras. PNGs come from image generation software that produces specific, discrete pixel values. Changing #555555 to #565656 in lossless image data is no more acceptable than changing "UUU" to "VVV" in lossless text data. Unfortunately, gzip et al don't perform well on image data, so different but still lossless compression algorithms are required.
they're accomplishing a launch date and a paycheck, nearly any other quantifiable metric is reduced or removed during a launch crunch -- aside from all of the negative personnel effects from instigating such madness.

The Diablo franchise is, due to franchise reputation, basically above any scare of competition reducing sales. People waited 11 years from Diablo 2 to 3.

Some finance guy would have to take an extra long time explaining to me why crunching towards an arbitrary marketing launch date (and trampling all of the personal lives and well-being of the personnel) is going to somehow be better for our company's reputation than releasing some of the most volatile pay-to-win/monetization mechanisms in all of gaming.

tl;dr : if at the end of a corporate instigated launch crunch you feel accomplished, more power to you -- but from where i'm at it just looks like more employee abuse with little incentive other than a pat on the back.

Ah, right. You can’t play the same moves in response to all of your opponent’s moves. (This is true for both white and black). I assumed the person you were responding to meant that they play the Najdorf Sicilian whenever white allows them to enter that line.

For example, you can’t play any kind of Sicilian, whether Najdorf or otherwise, against 1. d4 (white’s second most popular first move, behind 1. e4).
I like the ergonomics of tmux, but one thing I like about screen is it works as a terminal for serial devices. It's something I use for connecting to my HP and Cisco switches; also Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone boards. Tmux doesn't do that.
The light vs dark mode topic has come up several times on HN in the last few years, and it seems for one group that it is a religious conflict. That group seems especially (and aggressively) vocal in rejecting any observations or opinions from the other side.

Each should use what they like, and eyes (and the brains that they depend on) are pretty unique. Therefore, I would not expect any two people to look at the same thing and agree completely on what they see - or how they feel about it.

I do wish the dark mode proponents would accept that recording video or presenting in dark mode is usually a bad idea for two primary reasons.

1. Viewers may be in environments with high ambient light. Dark mode, viewed in a very bright environment, can be difficult or even impossible to see if the ambient brightness is very high. If it's a video on youtube, the viewer can choose to watch it another time when it's not so bright. (But that viewer may never return to view it later, so you've lost a viewer for whatever effort you put in.)

My favorite example of when not to use dark mode is in conferences or live presentations. Projectors produce much dimmer output than monitors do, and most conferences are not given in total darkness. This is especially true if the environment has windows, such as an office meeting space. So keep this in mind if you are a presenter. You could put a lot of effort into making nice slides and having some animations, but your live audience may be practically unable to see most of it.

2. Video/image compression tends to result in poorer output for lower contrast content like dark mode syntax highlighted text. One can plainly see the loss of quality of syntax highlighted code text on dark mode video or stills.

The net result is, again, that your audience gets less benefit from your content creation effort. That's a shame for everyone.
I was considering that, but flippers are likely better prepared to purchase a house, do the N activities which make time/financial sense, and get out of the market as quickly as possible. They likely possess the skills to do some of the work themselves, have existing relationships with plumbers/electricians to perform specialized work, know how to handle required permitting, have a realtor on the ready, and a dozen of other things which I am ignorant.

The average homeowner is unlikely to have any of those relationships or knowledge, so there are a lot more things that could go wrong that delay the project or cause costs to balloon. Maybe a lot of people mistakenly believe that renovating the kitchen for $20k will add $40k value to the house, but in practice, the project will cost $34k, take five weeks, and ultimately only raises the final sale price to $35k.

i grew up on japanese mangas and animes.

that said, i wish south korean ideas win. excluding their k-pop frenzy. i don't check their webtoons often. but i am happy with their movies and some of their music.

why?

japanese animes and mangas have become one dimensional. high school boys and girls saving the world. the lack of imagination is outstanding. and if i was not attached to these shows, i would have canceled them eons ago. most of us would.

they suck now.
You know that fiat currencies are also pumped by all the institutions managing them, right? If you are one of the lucky minorities who are privileged enough to have trusted institutions doing a good enough job, then just look at who is desperately trying to get in your country. Their home countries would probably have shitty institutions with horrible currency management.
Six months of crunch time is likely to make it harder to hit the release date, not easier.

Maybe there is a role for humans in the used car business for the foreseeable future, just because any automated method for assessing used car value runs into the "winner's curse" problem? (Essentially the only people who sell their cars to the automated system are the ones where the automated system offers them the best price, because there's a problem with the car that the automated system isn't picking up on.)
TBH, I think it's more like the SK government trying to bank on the unexpected popularity of Korean culture, to which the government itself had contributed little. Frequently the government actively got in the way: the director Bong Joon-Ho and actor Song Kang-Ho, of Parasite fame, had been both on the infamous "cultural blacklist" maintained by Park Geun-hye's conservative government, for being "leftist artists."

I agree that blatant money-grabbing attempts do cheapen the art from time to time, but you don't really need the government's help for that.
Most of Vista's problems was the nvidia driver. It would cause long freezes. Once that got fixed, it ran quite well.

There are still tips and vorticies, just not at these speed/size/power settings. The length of the blade is the biggest issue. These are effectively short blunted tips with a hole in the blade. Whether the improvements would translate to air, with all the associated speed of sound issues, is unclear.

Another old option for eliminating such issues is to put the prop in a case, like a jet ski or most modern military submarines. Or just eliminate the concept of tips and turn the entire case.

Why don’t lawmakers pass a law enacting two or three sets of terms of service that companies can choose from, or a set of a la carte terms. E.g. “who owns user data” could be “we do” or “the user does but licenses it to us” or “the user does”. Etc.

With home purchases (for example), the terms are usually standard in the state. Why the heck does every single web site need its own terms?
I liked it at the time due to its meta nature. Integrating suspension of disbelief as a core mechanic in its power system is very appealing for my unread ass. Reminds me of Pratchett's novels and how they handle the concept of "stories".

I'd like to have more fantastical stuff to read that can take me along the ride of the author's mindset and problems while they weave their story :) Recommendations are welcome.
This is a matter of definitions but my impression is that in common usage, the whole field of psychology is considered a part of the social sciences.
The same way that your local real estate development firms own your town's politics.

They care more about government then literally anyone else in the area, and nobody else has as strong a financial incentive to politically push back on what they want.
Have you been to the United States? The idea of loading 3 kids on some bikes and riding 10 miles to school, then 15 miles the other direction to work in the midwest on a winter day (temps get into negative fahrenheit in many parts of the U.S.) (or the south/southwest on a hot 100F+ summer day) is laughable. God forbid some after school activity is another 10 miles out of your way or you need to pick up something on the way, or carry them to your parents house which is another 25 miles away.
> Still very impressive!

if the Turing test entails presenting not just as human, but as a psychiatrist, that's not convincing psychoanalytic dream interpretation. The focus would be on the emotions you're experiencing rather than the people. In terms of the people, it would be what those people represent to you emotionally, rather than the identity of the people. (did you look up to this friend, were they one of the "cool" kids, is some similar anxiety coming up today in your work life, etc.)
Ask HN: Has “Li-ion” technology peaked?
We haven’t seen any growth of efficiency, lifespan or reduction in production externalities.

We may not have any alternatives at the moment but open question to other engineers, why has this happened even though public and private money is pouring into battery research?
Another factor is that lots of small GA airplanes are direct drive, and so need to run at high RPM at takeoff to produce full climb power. Geared powerplants like Rotax can reduce the overall tip speed here, and constant speed props can help to some extent. Turbine props need to be geared and tend to run lower tip speeds, so small GA is actually having an outsized negative impact here.
Show HN: Use ChatGPT in Jupyter notebooks via a Chrome extension
Hello HN!

Here's a browser extension that brings together two things that I love: Jupyter and ChatGPT. It makes it possible to have ChatGPT generate code inside your Jupyter notebooks. It has the side effect of making it really easy to save your ChatGPT sessions in a local notebook.

I parse the ChatGPT response, extract it into code cells for you automatically so that you no longer have to copy and paste code from your browser into your favorite code editor like an animal.

ChatGPT even wrote some of the code used in this extension!

The extension [1] from user:wonderfuly forms the core of messaging with the ChatGPT service; it works great! All the other mistakes are mine and mine alone. I'm not a web dev, so I'm sure there's lots of horrible hacks and mistakes that I made while writing this extension. Help welcome.

> That's literally the opposite of what the GP said:

Its not, though. Its true the upthread poster focussed on “buying experience” not “price”, but the adverse parts of the typical used car buying experience are a highly evolved optimization for drawing people in with advertised prices while optimizing actual prices without driving buyers off. Carvana’s better buying experience is neither “opposite of” nor even orthogonal to their failure to optimize price, its a direct consequence of them deciding they didn’t need to.
There is no single "they".
Half of leftist theorists argue with the other half more than three quarters of the time, the other quarter they argue with themselves.

And as for revolution, context is king.
To the Southern slave holders, emancipationists were radicals intent on overthrowing the very foundations of civilization itself.
The birth myth of the United States is revolution (though I admit we may have been better off eventually going the route that Canada took).

Of course it's serious stuff, people who try to figure out the world generally do take themselves seriously.
A bunch of people sit around and try to figure out what the structures that we create are, how they actually operate, and if that is helpful or harmful to the human beings within those structures, serious stuff indeed.
Their conclusions may be right or wrong or a mixture of both.
Criticism, however, does not properly take the form of 'this idea is produced by an academic leftist, therefore it is bad and wrong'.
Where's the marketplace of ideas in that?

Self-avowed conservative intellectuals have been wrong in the past as well.
They have no less wanted to produce 'revolutions'.
They have no less produced disastrous and failed revolutions.

And if we want to say that things shouldn't change from what they are now, at all, then that might be the most radical proposition of all, because it has never before happened in history, though many have tried it because they too thought their place in history perfect.

But doesn't:

mean that you think less of others because of what they choose to wear?

While I find this true on Linux, I find it more true on Windows and OS X nowadays.

The difference is that with Linux, there is probably a workaround. If I have an issue with Windows or OS X (nee macOS) and it's not affecting a million people, I'm simply screwed.

That's what drove me off of Windows and OS X.
The next version of C should redefine C as a strict subset of C++. That is, at any given moment, a particular revision of C should be a subset of a particular revision of C++. Each new version of C++ would then cause a revision of C to be released.
Giving it a few weeks to play out is how people end up without money once withdrawals are frozen.

I'm not saying it would happen here, but in general I don't see any incentive to wait to find out and risk losing everything. Why not withdraw early and wait to see how it plays out while your money is safe?
Interesting, if that becomes a thing then a lot of trucks could arguably do with a lot less batteries and thus waste less power lugging them around. Sounds like a win-win.
I worked in this space at the turn of the century (Cobalt Group, now part of ADP). Dealers would grant access to their (usually) ADP backends that we'd scrape for inventory and then aggregate on websites (usually their own and maybe a larger hub). Today I'd say something like FB marketplace or Craigslist does that work. Smaller dealers post their inventory to Craigslist every day (or every week) and then Craigslist is the search engine. Unfortunately, at this price point, there's not enough margin for things like delivering cars, transferring across lots, etc.
Starting on page 13, where they talk about the broadcast receiver issues, the report mentions "tiktok libraries" several times. What's going on there? Is Google's VPN solution dependent on tiktok in some way?

Has it got currying? Partially applied functions passed around in folds and traverses are horribly difficult to read for beginners. Example: an Advent of Code solution posted in r/haskell for Day 10 this year, tell me how long it takes you to understand the function cycleStrengths.

signalStrength cycle x = cycle \* x

cycleGaps = [19, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40]

cycleStrengths = foldr a (const []) cycleGaps . (\x -> (1, x))
where
a n r (i, xs) = signalStrength m y : r (m, ys)
where
m = i + n
ys@(y : _) = drop n xs
