> What could possibly be the use for any sort of logic in such cable be, given that on both ends of it there’s already a computer as well?

Maybe because MacBooks can be charged via both USB-C and MagSafe connector it forms part of the safety mechanism against frying your motherboard and/or against arcing during connection/disconnection. Especially on the higher-end of the spectrum (e.g. 16-inch MacBooks with 140W MagSafe).

Sort of like the same way electric car chargers handshake before throwing amps down the cable.
Yeah so now the driver error can be automated. Great.
If I was moving every few months, id just stay in Airbnb's or corporate housing. Any more than that I'd get a mortgage. Housing inflation post 2008 has always covered my closing costs that it makes sense to buy and sell over renting always.
Yes, most forms of sugars contain 40-60% fructose.

The article talks about the irrational conversations that gun ownership has in the USA.

You can't study it.

By banning any observation no one can prove whether the majority of shootings come from the gun owner or someone who stole the gun.

As such the negative "making them illegal does not make them go away" also cannot be proved by you.

Which ones prove systemic, deliberate deception?
I wouldn't describe it as trivial. My Tesla would phantom brake consistently in a lot of spots - overpasses were a very big trigger.

Also anytime I'd pass an exit I wasn't taking in the right lane it would veer and slow down aggressively, same with trying to speed match a car rapidly accelerating on an on ramp.

Bottom line, there's absolutely nothing that isn't driver assist; everything requires a significant amount of vigilance when you aren't driving in a straight line, in the left lane, on an empty highway with no one entering and exiting.
Shop at Walmart or just use a burner sim/phone. I don't care how much they are going to "profile" me if there is no connection to myself in any way
It's a different class of drug. Zantac is a PPI (proton pump inhibitor). Other drugs in the same PPI class are Prilosec (Omeprazole) and Nexium (Esomeprazole), and while not recalled, could have similar problems.

Pepcid (famotidine) and Tagamet (Cimetidine) are H2 blockers, another class of heartburn medication, that hasn't shown the same issues.

On the other hand, untreated chronic reflux is a big driver for stomach and esophageal cancers. So it's possible that having taken Zantac for a long time was less risky cancer-wise than not taking anything.

The tech might promise to save millions of lives, but if "behaves worse than a drunk teenager" is to be believed, don't you think it's best to wait a bit, if you want to save as many lives as possible?
Where is a good place to shop? NewEgg? Are there better prices elsewhere?
This isn't why people use (and hold) dollars. These figures can go up and down without affecting anything real. Paying this much attention to trivial minutia doesn't serve the interests of normal people. When non-Americans stop holding so many dollars, these figures will not be the cause. Rather, it will be due to our unconscionable foreign policy and abusive economic sanctions.
> I am not a masochist

I think you are. Why else would you buy something you didn't understand? You plainly didn't think through the practicalities before you bought it.
I don’t like their tone but they have a point. Historically Apple has been fussier than many other companies.
You haven't gone through the full thought experiment.

I agree tech valuations have imploded. This is a function of equity being predicated on expected returns in the future. Many reasons for tech valuations imploding - part of them -> cost of salaries to match CPI and cost trimming from other companies as inflation hits their bottom line and product sales aren't as robust.

In your example the valuations are on the private market and do not replicate what the public market would pay for them because the expectations on returns are out of whack with reality. VCs bought into their own hype and started thinking that they would get absolutely bonkers returns on companies that have no ability to get the returns required to drive those valuations.

This reality is because all of a sudden there is interest rates in the market and other returns elsewhere to be gained and that interest free money is gone.

VCs might have better buying power of what portion of a company they can buy however the expected returns are no longer in the same ballpark as they were. As a function of inflation their exit from investments looks far worse than it did a short time ago. However what VCs are buying is future returns not necessarily company size. So if you can buy more of a company on lower returns it isn't far different from less of a company on higher returns.
I've learned to appreciate old damaged things. I dropped my new MacBook and bent the case. Great, now I don't have to worry about keeping it in perfect condition anymore, I can just enjoy using it. If it stops working, great, now I get to buy a new one that isn't damaged. That bent case ultimately relieved me of a lot of anxiety.
Projectile weapons certainly increase its volume though.
This has been my experience as well - I use autopilot a lot and find it works great
Wow what a title.
It many ways it is. If your livelihood is based on your research then it's necessary for you to frame your research as important. Existentially important is even better. This way it outcompetes other studies/research/etc for funding from various sources. Why would anyone support your research if it wasn't urgent and important, etc?

This is how incentives work. It's why, for instance, you have gain of function research occurring in many cases. SARS was really interesting but it turns out it was never going to be a large risk for society. Who is going to continue to fund research into it? So, your incentive is to find a way to convince people that fund things that it could in fact find a way to be a global pandemic and gain of function "research" is a great way to do this. Of course you justify it by saying "it could happen and if it did happen then we'd want to know how to prepare for it so lets find the worst ways it could get to that state before it does itself". Now that you've created something terrifying, it's much easier to get gobs of funding for your research.

This is how it works.
Compared to some of these, it is not very old, but I regularly use a German cookbook from the 1800s. It was specifically crafted for young women learning to organize a household and contains detailed instructions about every necessary step to take.

The other big advantage is that it almost entirely relies on local ingredients, so it is very cheap to cook, as long as you reduce the amounts suggested for butter and eggs.
Thank you. Maybe it's not modest, but I do not consider myself to be a "general beginner". I majored in math and CS, so I'm thinking about getting something more hard-core and serious...
Bloomberg terminal. You get notifications when analyst reports pop in. Consensus was that Zomato can't breakeven even by 2025.
The ideals of Qanon were implicitly accepted into the American right, and have been working their way into the mainstream. How do you think MTG got where she is?

The Republican party is the party of conspiracy nuts. If you don't like it, then kick them out. But you can't, because a significant percentage of your group would be gone, and a larger percentage don't disagree with much of what the Q-tards believe.
Why does everything have to keep innovating?

Youtube was fine years ago. People make stuff, I subscribe and watch it. Sure throw in some algorithmic discovery on the side. Bring back dislike count.

Other than that I don't care for any innovation. Just keep the lights on.
It doesn't really matter, we have multiple incidents of FSD causing accidents due to outright mistakes, not even "a human would have messed up here too" situations.
I'm a big fan of 2nd hand, goodwill, and garage sales. I've gotten so fed up with Ikea tier furniture that a good garage sale will net me things that are cheaper and far more reliable than anything I'd buy in a store.

Please excuse the self-promotion, but I made some documentation that includes interactive explanations that I think is really good:

The interactivity really lets you play around with the library to understand how it works and sharpen your knowledge by testing edge cases.

Don’t think it exists. There are 2560x1600, but they’re 30” so the DPI isn’t particularly high.

If you have 1080p though you’re already on 16:9, did you mean 1920x1200?
But don't do the list cleaning all at once. Instead, do it a little bit every quarter, so you can constantly claim credit for improving email open rates by a moderate amount.
One thing I haven't seen anyone mention is the recommendation engine is much better in YT Music than Spotify IMHO. I've found a surprisingly large number of new artists that I enjoy and it's solely due to YTM's recommendation engine. Really obscure stuff that I just wouldn't have found otherwise.
Hmm, Neptyne doesn't support XLWings and that link doesn't resolve. Where did this come from?
The "self driving" tech that works (e.g. auto braking) is deployed and has saved lives. (Self driving in quotes because it is not really the full promise of self driving.)

This Tesla AI does not work well enough in many conditions and is clearly sometimes more dangerous than humans. Just watch videos of people using it - it's obvious that is making unforgivable errors.
I have this as well https://www.yakkaroo.de/19-zoll-2he-server-gehaeuse-ipc-c236... with Noctua fans installed.

I run proxmox, opnsense (virtualized) and other workloads on it. It's really good and runs almost completely silent because of the Noctua fans.

The build quality of the case is lower end though with sharp edges!
It's also hilarious how you don't know what the checkout instructions will be when you pay for the reservation. Sometimes you don't find out until you're physically inside the Airbnb.
Trans people largely dont want to be "sexual" around children. The problem is that you are conflating a performance art (drag) with an entire demographic of people (trans people). Do you actually think trans people are sexually assaulting kids or do you just perceive them existing in society as an assault? Why are trans topics in education bad if they describe the lived experience of your neighbors? I don't genuinely believe you would leave trans people alone, if they gave up any ground. you just want them to shut up and get out of sight so they don't legitimize a lifestyle that you disprove of.

> as long as they just live their lives like everyone else

The way you live your life and your opinions around what to teach kids about gender are a cultural choice. You make the active decision every day to teach kids that boys cant wear dresses, or that girls and boys need to be separated in sports. You can justify those beliefs all you want but at the end of the day, you are saying that your perspective is right and that trans people are wrong. So no you are not asking them to "live their life like I do" because you don't want them to advertise a lifestyle different from yours
Good question! It didn't argue one bit, literally drove it off the lot at the service center and hit the freeway and turned AP on (it's my second Model 3, so I already have such habits).

It's entirely possible it had more miles than 5 on the odometer when I picked it up. Officially the paperwork says 15, the associate who gave me the car said it was actually less, and the odometer isn't very prominent so I never even looked. Maybe it had 50 miles and was a reject ;). I should go check TeslaFi, since I reenabled that the day I bought the car. I confess that the only way I ever know how many miles my car has is when I see it on TeslaFi.
I think this article was a bit disingenuous. AGI? Please...

And some actual examples would have also been nice, there is no reason not to include technical findings knowing very well that their news post is going to be read mostly by people who have a degree of technical expertise themselves.
A really bad one is the police lights at night. A police car on the side of the road with the lights on is so intense I can't look anywhere near it. I am convinced this is one of the reasons why those cars and officers get hit so much.
nothing in USA includes taxes in the list price, except airlines.
The Tesla tech is not ready and is deployed haphazardly. Google and other companies are approaching self-driving in a much safer way while still having tremendous progress.
This is exactly why I don't use loyalty cards. Many stores also price their goods higher than the going rate, so they can "discount" loyalty card users without actually giving them a meaningful discount. I avoid those stores entirely.

But loyalty cards aren't the only mechanism. Beware of using credit cards at stores as well, for similar reasons.
From the definition, if you squint a bit at 'perfect'.
Seems like a cynical take by someone that knows what they watch is largely fake, and they want to apply the same rules to the other side so they feel better about their exclusivity to confirmation bias enabling programming.

The comments here have been a treat to read.

Rushed technology usually isn’t polished or perfect. Is there an expectation otherwise?

Few rushed technologies have been able to engage so much breadth and depth from the get go. Is there anything else that anyone can think of on this timeline and scale?

It really is a little staggering to me to consider how much GPT as a statistical model has been able to do that in its early steps.

Should it be attached to a search engine? I don’t know. But it being an impetus to improve search where it hasn’t improved for a while.. is nice.
I'm really struck at how this comment has no consideration of the quality or accuracy of current FSD technology.

Also, public transit would do the same.
It's illegal in San Francisco
I'm a DIY person. Alot of stuff is easy, but you know what wasn't easy? Finding a place to work on my car when I lived in an apartment. Alot of HOA's have rules as well, and landlords who rent houses.
I think this is the biggest problem.
It's also common that manufacturers make simple jobs harder, the engineers don't consider it. My Traverse needs lights changed through the wheel well, and it's a tight fit. The power steering fluid is hidden under a plastic shroud.
I also had the misfortune of trying to change spark plugs on a Ford Expedition. It was basically impossible since they had never been changed and they have a design failure that makes them break. I had to keep that car in a carport while I worked on it for afew months. I bought several tools to try and get the sparkplugs out, but eventually had to scrap it, all because of a badly designed spark plugs.
I am lost why anybody would even want them.

The usual ~200kHz PWM is cheaper, more reliable, smaller, and usually more powerful than anything you can build on the ~100Hz. Besides everybody sells chips for ~200kHz, but finding anything that can operate at ~100Hz is a challenge.

I can understand cheap household ones using the mains frequency to avoid an AC/DC conversion. But AFAIK, using them on a car is stupid from every conceivable point of view.
I would be glad it was out there if it was aggressively marketed as a drivers assistant feature, not as a self-driving capability.
Is this necessarily true? Aren't puts and calls (etc.) symmetrical?
There are many of such tests in the open.

There is even a former Tesla AI engineer that throws objects in front of the car on YouTube, as a demonstration.

The results are not glorious at all :| (trying to find the channel back if someone knows).

And random public tests too:

This is a basic safety auto-braking. Just feels very wrong to even accept it goes into release.
It really depends where you drive, it behaves super well in some conditions, and awfully in others. Hence the wide disparity in experience.
Author/owner of the video would still be able to see it, so they can judge if their audience liked the video or not. But still, the biggest value proposition of having the likes vs dislikes is for viewers, not content producers, so it really sucked it went away.
You're not missing anything. The Fed is on record that the economy is doing great, unemployment in the economy as a whole is non-existent, so it's going to continue raising interest rates. When your CEO tells you that we're in a tough economic climate, what she's actually saying is that we're in a tough monetary policy climate. The economy is (currently) fine.

Expect the pain in tech to get worse, much worse, before it gets better.

That's 4-5B USD worth of fraud. This thing could actually be quite dangerous for TSLA. One class-action lawsuit around this and they're bankrupt.

Edit: Dang, you're all right, they could eat this and still be alive.

My whole sentiment comes from FSD being their big shot (and everything that comes with that, like the robotaxis and whatnot). Without FSD, they're "just another car company" and the market is already thriving with good alternatives (Audi's EVs are jaw dropping, at least for me). Excited to see what they announce on March 1st, though.
> No, bureaucracy and crime are awful.

My best friend is a sex worker. I use cannabis to control my anxiety. Neither of those are legal. Looking historically, virtually every human rights movement required illegal direct action. Where do we fit into your cashless panopticon society?

The worst crimes I'm worried about are the ones that will never be illegal, the ones that benefit the powerful and rich. At-scale invasion of privacy is only one such tremendous crime, one against against human rights and dignity, but barely against the law.

> Bear in mind this is the same country that bans Google Street View (and on the road to ban nuclear power and GM crops).

> People here support this ban because they think it's "harmful", but how long until they think some technology you rely on is also harmful? GPS? Phone cameras or Google Lens? Encryption - https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2023/2/2/stop-the-proposal-on-ma... ?

Some of those are genuinely harmful (street view in particular for its privacy invasion - note it is not banned but simply very unpopular) so I'm not sure what your point is. Also, you should send your ideas to the Mullvad blog authors and get their input. I think you'll find that the overlap between people who support universal end to end encryption and people who support an all-seeing police state is very small, as they are fundamentally incompatible ideas.

> Technology is the future, and we should embrace it wherever possible - crime prevention, education, healthcare, nuclear fusion, genetic engineering, etc.

Technology is not always good all of the time. The past century and even past decade are full of examples of net harms caused by technology that could have been avoided if we developed them in a more intentional controlled manner.

A eccentric example to make the point: If there is a technology that can trigger a supernova of the sun simply by mixing water, sugar, gasoline, and bleach together in a certain ratio, then it would be extremely important we not conduct research into that technology until we have other technology that allows us to survive a supernova or can prevent that mixture from being created anywhere on Earth. Even if there are advantages of the technology (maybe a different ratio causes all humans to have 5x longer lifespans and eliminates all disease and suffering, and we gain intelligence allowing us to begin colonizing other planets within 3 years) the risk is just too high that it will be misused accidentally or maliciously until we have a way to handle it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_technological_dev...
Whatever team improves livestreaming has been really responsive to creator requests. I believe that if YouTube executes, they'll kill Twitch entirely. Question is if they manage to execute, I'm not confident that it will continue to happen.

They're starting to find the balance between their promotion of smaller creators vs things like disinfo. They're in my opinion more open about how The Algorithm(tm) works vs other social platforms. They've been de-emphasizing gameable metrics as opposed to "do people actually watch the video" metrics.

Shorts is... fine, but they're far more fair to creators than TikTok is. TikTok Creator Fund has poor creator incentives, YouTube Shorts monetization is actually aligning the interests of YouTube as well as creators. (I do have some minor quibbles with some messaging there but what matters is the shape of the agreements.)

They've also recently resolved the whole "should I make a new channel for shorts or post them to my current channel" problem, which is nice.

I dunno that's off the top of my head.
Good lord. That's the sort of thing I would give the hotel one chance to fix. If not, charge back.
As a young adult I was baffled by the way older generations seemed to have endless money for furniture and electronics and pricier household items. The "standard" method of furnishing a room costs like $5k per room. How were these middle class families furnishing these massive 4 bedroom houses in the burbs with dens and dining rooms and patios, etc? I suppose these are mostly one time purchases, but then there's the new stereo, new and bigger TV every few years, new speakers, and endless stream of seldom-used kitchen appliances. Sometimes it seemed like people were using their limited wealth to entomb themselves in their own home. Not that plenty of Millennials haven't done the same thing!

But this article is basically about how having a budget probably makes you less stressed than not having a budget, which is far less interesting in my mind that how and why people spend their money, and the generational differences.
I was big time addicted to youtube for a while starting around 2010, mostly bc the recommended videos were so good and content that was uploaded was more raw and silly then now. But at some point the recommendations got really bad, so much so that it made it a lot less enjoyable. I miss those days.
Show HN: Simple Django starter template with a landing page, auth and dashboard
Hey guys. I recently picked up Django and faced a lot of frustration when starting new projects and having to reimplement and piece together simple functionality like a landing page, authentication and a dashboard.

I decided to create a barebones Django app with this basic functionality to act as a scaffold for my future projects. I'm sharing this here in case someone might find it helpful.

You can find the source code and instructions for use here: https://github.com/michael-awe/django-template

If you've got any feedback or discover any issues with the code, please let me know. Thanks!
