It would feel extremely sketchy to ride an escooter on the sidewalk with all the blind corners or entryways people are liable to pop out from.

The best thing you could do with an escooter is to do what bike riders do to be safe, which is to take the entire lane. Car's might get pissed and honk when they pass you, but its better to force them to merge into a separate lane to get around you, than to try to squeeze through the same lane you are in and force you into parked cars or the gutter.
I'm not an expert on Apple's rules but my understanding is the download thing is circumvention of the terms under which Youtube licenses/re-licenses content so it's treated fairly strictly.

Registration of a hotspot and asserting its location costs the miner 50,000,000 Data Credits, plus 2x65,000 DC in transaction fees. Registration fees for receiving packages has a fixed fee of tens of millions of DC too. Meanwhile, transferring a single 24-byte package over the network costs the user 1 DC - which is equivalent to $.00001.

I live in a medium-density city, and there are 50+ miners within a half-mile radius from me. Considering IoT is designed for low-volume data, there is no way packet payout will ever come remotely close to the network fees itself. The protocol was designed to reward proof-of-coverage at first, slowly switching to rewarding data forwarding.

What we are seeing right now is that the data volume simply doesn't exist, and the proof-of-coverage was showing a false demand. Even if it were to see widespread use, it would still not live up to expectations.

And if you are a commercial user, why would you mess around with Helium rather than just contracting one of the well-known commercial IoT parties? Even if a commercial provider is 100x as expensive you are still only paying $.001 / package.
Companies with big warehouses are already buying cheap regular old bikes for getting around, or even trikes where you can carry stuff on a little truck bed in the back.
You don't, you do what most of us do and suffer through it, coming out more bitter and broken on the other side. :)
any indication on whether people with yokes can get a normal steering wheel replacement?

i don't mind the turn signal buttons but the driving experience is not ideal for quick reactions, and the horn...has got to go
Article is a bit of a joke. Honestly we should be able to control a car with that degree of freedom.

I'm a big for of smaller steering wheels that are out of the way. They use to make sense when you needed to apply lots of torque manually (aka no power steering) but gone are those days.

> For example, if you lose control on an icy road, it could be harder to do some quick maneuvers to regain control.

No F1 driver is winning a world championship with a wheel and not a yoke. The statement in the article is incorrect. The yoke actually makes it easier to do quick moves but in icy conditions that's not what you want.
I cringed when I read that.
I don't know, when I used to work on farms, the old guys were a lot healthier than most of the people I see in tech nowadays. Although, most of that work isn't unhealthily repetitive, like jack-hammering or something, so perhaps not a great example. But, use-it-or-lose-it is a real thing.

Borders, bodies and see-all technologies (2021)
Without access to the paper, and only (derivatives of) obfuscating university press releases, the supplementary material [1] allows fumbling together a naive idea of what this is about.

On page 13 a model system is provided with a "SI.6 Thermodynamic Analysis of Ideal Ionocaloric Cycle with Regeneration" diagram to stare at. Alternative substances to ethylene carbonate are described on page 5. Sodium iodide is selected as the salt that is needed in high concentration "to move the phase boundaries".

The mechanism of regeneration seems to be electrodialysis [2], which "is used to transport salt ions from one solution through ion-exchange membranes to another solution under the influence of an applied electric potential difference", a word completely missing in TFA.

There's a nice exploded view of the "Figure SI.10 Electrodialysis Experimental Setup" on page 23, after which the specific Nafion NRE-212 cation exchange membrane [3] and Fujifilm AEM Type 1 anion exchange membrane [4] are listed.

The 2015 article "Present and future caloric refrigeration and heat-pump technologies" [5] is listed as reference, which gives an overview of different "caloric energy conversion" methods and states that "elastocaloric refrigeration represents the most promising alternative, and magnetocaloric refrigeration is a very promising alternative for future applications."

A lot of these sorts of cities have rental bikes for tourists, by the math you'd probably see 4x the city then with a bike.
It's a little faster than a jog, it would be a pretty good tackle and if the other person landed wrong, game over. With running at least you can juke out of the way laterally.
Apparently they don't like when your app does something in a way that breaks ToS or EULA, even if they are not worth the pixels they are written on. Apple being the trillion dollar company it is, is naturally averse to the legal risk posed by having a ToS-breaking app on their store. This is why having a single company controlling your entire device is bad -- they do what's best for them, rather than whatever you might happen to want.
Gnome complaining seems to be most common from people who spend all day tweaking window border radii and task bar widgets.

Some of us have actual work to get done and don't want to play the role of UI designer. I trust that the Gnome people put the work in and get something that's mostly right.
Maybe, but billionaires can't be immortal. If it truly happened and it was a problem, society would find a way to fix it. There's nothing to worry about.
RL systems lack the autonomy aspect I lay out in terms of finding new problems, figuring out how to improve on the task, or communicating that information in any way. What your describe is necessary but not sufficient.
I didn't read this piece super carefully, but I think I read it closely enough to be able to say that it is harder to understand the distinction between brokenist and non-brokenist than it is to understand the distinction between liberal and conservative.

I don’t see ChatGPT as any different from gpt3 really, it still makes all the same category of mistakes.

It’s very distinguishable from a human in that you can trivially make it contradict, say nonsense, and it still makes all sorts of errors especially past a few paragraphs.

Very few people are using it. AI therapy is really a great counterexample - it’s not just not up to the task, also highly dangerous. Last thing anyone needs in therapy is to talk to a computer that has no long term memory and will say whatever you want it to - pure demoralization.

As far as code - also not really compelling. I’ve tried it and don’t use it, because:

1. It’s worse than Google. Google + stack overflow finds 100% of the same answers, but also gives me many alternatives, verifies they are correct, and adds lots of context.

2. It’s incorrect in subtle ways, often.

3. It’s actually actively bad at programming beyond the simplest smallest isolated problems, which are about 1% of the daily tasks of a software dev.

I actually think the confusion of thinking it’s good at programming and art to be fundamental - it’s good at rough things not precise things. So art is more in its wheelhouse and why people are so interested in it. It’ll do some interesting stuff there.

But it’s very much not precise, it sucks at math, it’s bad at programming for the same reason. In a very very local scope for a simple type of problem constrained only to that local scope it’s ok, but that’s just not really programming.

I did say in the loop it has some value, but it’s truly far from an iPhone in terms of value. About 0% rounded of the population is even aware of it, let alone getting value from it. I have no idea what I’d use it for, its proneness to blunders and bullshit is a real dealbreaker for every application besides illustrations and maybe summarization - and the latters been solved forever, and is a marginal industry.

Again there’s a weird need to hype it up it seems, we’re at some peak of the hype curve and people are buying it. I think one reason that happens is because it’s mediocre at a lot of things, so people think it’ll do everything. But it’s got major reasons why it’s mediocre that haven’t changed from gpt3 or earlier.

It’s a cool thing certainly, but Google is like 1000x more valuable and idk if even Google was a revolution or just a somewhat big improvement.

Four fundamental limiting factors: it’s imprecise (can’t rely on it for unsupervised or technical things), it’s average (not very valuable to art or creative innovation), it’s a liar (not great for many things), and it’s a panderer (therapy, etc).

The issue is probably a missing A/B firmware update for the config section.

If a firmware update needs to alter the calibration data or other rather static config, and that update process is interrupted by an empty battery then it can't recover. It should of course be more conservative in killing all of the config section... Or could reset to some sane default. Or have a copy of the old known good data around and restart the procedure
Also the codec matters. AV1 is quite a bit smaller than VP9, which is in turn smaller than x264. Of course the downside is AV1 is harder to decode. For the purpose of well-encoded content, you can estimate that the bitrate doubles whenever you double both dimensions of the video, e.g. 720p would be twice the bitrate of 360p and half of 1440p.
No F1 driver is doing a 3-point turn using a 14:1 steering ratio either.
I think the point is less about whether each type of privilege is real, but that this logic is incredible shaky. (i.e. deciding there is a bias against a group solely based on representation in outcomes)

Put another way (and I think the OP tried) if we look at prison sentences by gender and apply the same logic, then we have a huge bias against men in the justice system, yet no one seems to be making that case nor would it gain popularity.

I've seen it both ways. The best companies are those where folks work hard because they like the work. Other companies where folks work very little but serve as glue for those that do. In those companies its easy to show up to meetings and still get promoted, but contribute very little in terms of engineering hours.
I'd definitely subscribe if it can teach my kids the proper native accent (preferably posh British) because that's something I can't and it would really complement my own knowledge and that will really help my kids get a job in the future so it makes financial sense to subscribe.

This would also widen the target audience, my kid is one year and kids that age are already starting to categorise sounds.

Becoming a "poor reader" is something I think most parents on Hacker News aren't going to worry about. So my tip is that you might want to change the marketing material a bit. Also I'd like to have the current age range more front and center.

Good luck!

I suspect much like reddit the ratio of link lurkers to commenters on HN is about 19:1 like reddit.
The main thing I want to convince you of is to flag this type of comment - a thing everyone should do! The engaging (or not) is more practical thing - avoiding the risk of a giant thread of meta sitting at the top of a submission to the detriment of actually interesting discussion. Since everyone loves meta and bickering, this happens quite a bit. If the comment is safely at the bottom of the thread, engage away. I sure can't seem to help it. It just does a lot less good than flagging (which is not just for trolls and flamewarriors).
I'm going to bounce this back and ask what you'd do in my shoes.

Your net worth is around 2M, you burn around 50k/year to eat, sleep, and be merry. You could retire tomorrow, but you weren't put on this Earth to just be idle.

Let's say (hypothetically) you worked somewhere that just announced they're laying off 10% of their workforce.

You want to make an offer to 2-3 product + infra engineers who were laid off. You know they do excellent work, and they're a god damn joy to be around.

However, you need at least 6 months of payroll, health insurance premiums, and incidentals fully liquid to extend those offers. Ideally you'd have 8-12 months banked - because you care.

Your startup is "Ramen profitable" - that means you're making around 7k/month revenue to cover 2-5k expenses. If you start saving 100% of profits NOW you can afford 1 of those engineers in (checks notes) just under 8 years!

What's your next move?

My apologies! I was in the mindset of “if you can only acquire one Tesla [for whatever reason], this is the one you’d want.” There are plenty of other fine EV models out there for a consumer to pick from if a Tesla isn’t right for them.
While I've never tried it in that way, I understand it should function as a standard USB game controller when wired, but its real gem would be fully leveraging its wireless support.

They make cars with some great features and a lot of bad ones. I thought we could get over Model 3 Performance issues because the drivetrain and range were great, but all the other stuff was just way too much. 3 years. It was an overall, if barely, positive experience. What is amusing is most of it is unforced problems. Purposeful bad design decisions that put critical car features in difficult to use places with bad feedback mechanisms for no apparent reason. It is honestly perplexing. Eventually we gave up, it was just not good having critical features of driving a car change year to year. We have an Audi e-tron now. Wish the range was better, but it is better in almost every other way.
The vast majority of people do not want to configure anything. They want it to just work. They don't want software where it's possible to pick wrong configurations as well. There are only a few exceptions to this like accessibility. Configuration should be the last resort where there are different kinds of users who absolutely must have the software work in one way and it isn't possible to help both at the same time. It should not be used for menial UI layouts and visual design.
No. Not in and of its self.

Maturity in a systems programming sense is different. Rust had a lot of effort pored (and still going) into the nostd variant to be used in bare metal applications like microcontrollers and kernels. Does D have that same level of formalism?

On a more serious note, I’m skeptical D would take. It seems like Rust has captured mind share and already has ongoing substantial work integrating it into the kernel (+ it’s the first and only non C language in kernel mainline). Given that context, I don’t see the motivation that works spur a similar level of support from kernel maintainers.
My brain did this once. It doesn’t work very well anymore after that.
I've seen a lot of papers over the year for text to speech but nothing truly competitive from the open source community. For a long time now I've wondered if the market's being suppressed. While apple's implementation is not open source, it is progress to an accessible e-library.
Linux devs will ignore a feature going obsolete and complain 10 years later when it's removed. It doesn't matter how long you give because they were never actually working on it in the mean time.
Yes? Sarcopenia, age related muscle loss, is extremely common, mostly optional, and largely unnoticed by those who have it.

Hey, thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words :) I'm a musician too and I definitely feel that. "Would this be easier in another DAW?" is a perennial worry in my head.
Congratulations on your code! You created apiCall, effectively your own library for doing requests. The very same thing that you ought to banish.

Once you have setup that library (or hook) yes, using it it's indeed 4 lines of code. That also happens for libraries constructed by others.
All the time at work I wonder if it's a novel modern expectation that aging not contain an accumulation of progressive injuries leading to everpresent chronic pain.
"discriminate* has two meanings:

* recognize a distinction; differentiate. (Discriminate between)

* make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people. (Discriminate against)

I meant they current trend is to do the former in order to offset historical use of the latter.

Whether that's fair or whether that will work long term is another question!

I would understand the frustration I hear from some users if this were a paid product...but it isn't.

The GNOME project is a massive undertaking and completely free. It's written by volunteers, sponsored developers, and commercial developers who derive their revenue from elsewhere. They own the trademark, so of course they're going to use it.

The bottom line is that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people happily use GNOME every day (yes, I'm currently one of them). I did _not_ care for legacy GNOME, and back then I chose something else (usually dwm and xmonad).

I really don't see what this fuss is about. There is a vast selection of alternative desktop environments and window managers to choose from. Get over it.
Interestingly, there was once a solid effort to add a try operator to Go. While the proposal was quite well received, upon closer inspection it was realized it would be essentially useless in the real world as, given how the rest of the language works, you almost never would want to simply early return with the value received. The data revealed that the vast majority of the code in the wild that the syntax sugar would replace returned something else.

So while it is indeed a nifty feature if the rest of the language is also designed for it, it's not something that is easily tacked on to a language that is not.
Caloric restriction has never been shown to increase lifespan in large primates. And the experiments showing increased lifespan in lower animals have been highly artificial with the subjects protected from infections and injuries. Caloric restriction in elderly people causes sarcopenia, which greatly increases the risk of disabling orthopedic injuries.
