Welcome to the party folks. When people are complaining about maintaining an ice car, they are not replacing the crankshaft or transmission on an annual basis.

Every single unscheduled maintenance that I have done for my 2 ice cars in the past 10 years, would also be needed if they were electric. Wire looms, position sensors for accelerator, airbag sensors, ball bearings, suspension, windshield, ac compressor etc

Maybe I could had avoided some brake rotor changes with an electric car.

But It was really infuriating when people would casually claim that electric cars don’t need maintenance.
1. they’re really de-greasers, you have to pre-wash the plates

Can you name any ideas, strong or otherwise, just any one, that would actually stand up to the kinds of misinformation and bad faith arguments that are common on the Internet though? If TED was, instead of being intellectual entertainment for the wealthy, but instead tried to portray itself as a serious scientific conference where papers are presented, it would stoop to "fighting with pigs", as it were, and open itself up to all sorts of stupid arguments. Like viruses don't cause disease, level of conversation, backed by faith-based arguments.

TED isn't a scientific conference with papers, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's there to drum up interest from the wealthy in the speakers and their projects. If you present there and Bill Gates hears your moving speech on, say, a better cure for malaria, he, and others with that kind of wealth, are liable to invest. But if your speech makes it sound like you're unsure and don't know what you're doing and are just fumbling around, hedging your bets, then you and project might end up langushing in obscurity. (Which, imo, a properly scientific presentation would consist of, because there are no guarantees, just probable possibilities vs improbable impossibilities.)

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

TED sells yearning for the sea, and not how much wood to gather in order to build the ship. There are other, better forums for that. What you're looking for wouldn't fit neatly into their format.

Still, if you're wealthy and see a TED talk, and then want to invest in the person in the basis of a good TED talk, I'll just close with a link to Elizabeth Holmes' convincing talk. I encourage you (or a hired scientist) to do your due diligence on a particular idea.

>Facebook on the other hand is left to toy with less stellar and more commercial offerings

I'm not sure what your point is when the PS VR2's optics are not as good as Facebook's. The PS VR2 while OLED suffers from mura and brightness issues. The amount of mura is inconsistent and can be pretty bad on some headsets. Since the panels can not get bright enough Sony is leaving the displays on longer which trades off increased brightness for more motion blur. The display is also using a pentile subpixel arrangement which is not as good as compared to a RGB stripe one. The peak pixels per degree of the optics is less than all competing devices on the market and is releasing with Fresnel optics in 2023. The PS VR2 doesn't stand out as being bleeding edge to me, unless by bleeding edge you mean the technology isn't mature enough to be ready yet to meet consumer exceptions. It just looks to be marketed as a better and updated version of the PS VR headset. No other headset is competing in the segment of the market that is powered by consoles.
> an independent Hindu–Muslim state.

A single state spanning most of the Indian subcontinent wasn't a political reality prior to colonial times. There were many individual kingdoms and territories prior to that time. The political structure set up by the British was a major contributing factor behind the partition.

Another instance of a partition happened about 10 years prior to India's and Pakistan's independence. The British Raj decided to split Myanmar from India. Maybe if they had not done that, India would have extended further east to encompass present day Myanmar.

New cars with huge A pillars designed to protect the driver. They are a huge blind spot. I grew up driving 80s Hondas with thin pillars and absolutely amazing visibility. My 2010 Fit, I have made left turns multiple times and been surprised to see pedestrians that I didn't notice. This never happened to me once in any of my older cars. Visibility in modern cars is pathetic, and a crime they they allow it to be so bad as long as the car passes a crash test.

I don't think the information density was high enough here that each sentence warranted its own paragraph.

No it is overall. A lot of criminals have street names named after them in the west.

After the novelty wore off, Alexa was pretty useless in our home. It eventually turned into a voice command to set a timer while cooking and asking it to play Spotify. But after many times when it would kick in and interrupt us in the middle of conversations - when we didn't even come close to saying the wake-up word - it got in the way more than it helped. Really glad to have it turned off and put away now.

"It's difficult to compare a graphics card like the GTX 1070 and an aircraft like the F-16 as they are designed for very different purposes and operate on completely different scales.

The GTX 1070 is a powerful graphics card that is designed to render high-quality graphics for gaming, video editing, and other visual computing applications. It has impressive processing power and can handle complex graphics and visual effects with ease.

On the other hand, the F-16 is a highly advanced fighter aircraft designed for air-to-air and air-to-ground combat missions. It is a complex machine that requires a highly skilled pilot to operate and is equipped with state-of-the-art avionics, weapons systems, and engines.

In terms of raw power, the F-16 is undoubtedly more powerful than the GTX 1070, with its advanced capabilities in speed, agility, and firepower. However, it's important to note that these are two very different types of machines, and a direct comparison of their power is not really possible."

I'm good at it too, it's called autism. but that doesn't make it good general purpose advice to give.
Why wonder?

"It's not appropriate to compare a graphics card (GTX 1070) to a military fighter jet (F-16) as they are completely different things designed for entirely different purposes.

A GTX 1070 is a high-end graphics card designed for gaming and other graphics-intensive tasks. It has a lot of processing power and can handle complex visual computations quickly and efficiently.

On the other hand, an F-16 is a military fighter jet designed for air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. It is equipped with advanced weapons systems, avionics, and other technologies that allow it to perform a wide range of military operations, including surveillance, reconnaissance, and combat missions.

In short, while a GTX 1070 is a powerful graphics card, it is not designed for the same purposes as an F-16, which is a highly advanced and specialized military aircraft."

So, racist reasons?
The paragraphs need to be visually formatted correctly. Correct width and spacing and such. Adding more line breaks doesn't help people read. It frustrates them because now they have to skip 5 "paragraphs" to get to the next talking point.
What's keeping this from becoming AGI? Are there any remaining barriers? I have to admit, I'm a bit panicked.
Some countries (like South Korea) are in the "customer are never in fault", other countries are "users have sole responsibility for their security", but US is in an ambiguous position where you need a court to determine responsibility. If someone said that a US bank didn't pay out for a hack it means that either they're poor to ligitate (understandable, the US legal system is rigged) or they're hiding something that would persuade the judge to side with the bank. This is still the case despite the "we're not responsible for hacked accounts" ToS especially if the bank is the one who fell for social engineering attacks to falsely convince to do something that was unauthorized.
Try asking if it is faster than a low end modern card, in a comparison it looks at comparisons people have made before and decide based on those, and most comparisons with 1070 the 1070 probably came up ahead since it is a relatively high end card. It probably hasn't seen many DEC VAX comparisons, so it would decide mostly based on the other part, and if that is low end likely it would say the DEC VAX is faster since it is so used to say that the other part is slower.

Or it has a separate category in its state space for old computers and will say the same thing for all of those in these comparisons, but you can trip it up using the weakness I talked about above in most cases. Its just that the comparisons people come up with can often be answered correctly by that method since people like to compare "powerful thing to weak thing", and in those it just looks at how often each wins and decides based on that, instead of comparing them directly.

> in general the time it takes the dishwasher to run is not critical

I have children. They use plates, bowls, cups, cutlery, more bowls, more plates, more cups. I have only limited room for additional dishes. Dishes better be done before dinner or else somebody is going to have bad time. And generally if someone in the family is having bad time then everybody is going to have bad time.
A paragraph break should be heavier than a sentence break. If every idea is its own paragraph, then paragraphs are no longer a meaningful part of your structure. It's exactly the same as if he simply wrote a wall of text in one giant paragraph -- in both cases, he's getting no organizational value from the structure.

Good writers craft paragraphs the same way they craft an overall idea. It's structured, organized thought all the way down. The author of TFA couldn't be bothered to do any of that. He's leaving it up to you do figure out the structure from his -- not wall; soup? -- of text. He's being lazy and a shit writer, and it's vastly detracting from what he has to say.

Of course, the actual message of TFA is "I'm a shit writer so I rely on an overused brain-SEO shortcut to bludgeon my readers into being interested instead of actually writing something that's valuable to them." So I guess the style fits.
I blame slack for gaslighting everyone into believing chat makes a good knowledgebase.
Staying on top of AI within software development requires continuous learning and staying updated with the latest trends and advancements in the field. Here are some tips that can help you:

Follow relevant news sources and publications: Stay updated with the latest news and developments in the field of AI by subscribing to relevant news sources and publications such as AI News, MIT Technology Review, and TechCrunch.

Attend conferences and workshops: Attend AI conferences, workshops, and meetups to learn from industry experts, network with peers, and stay updated on the latest advancements in the field.

Join online communities and forums: Join online communities and forums such as GitHub, Reddit, and Stack Overflow, where you can interact with other developers, ask questions, and learn from their experiences.

I've been working with AOT Technologies (https://www.aot-technologies.com/) for past 3 years, I've seen how well they are gelling with the latest AI technologies and how they are promoting the AI Techs among the developers. So the culture and freedom in your organisation is also an important factor.
They have been pressuring the west for a decade, and now that we react, they say this. Typical wanna-be bully behaviour.

We need to get our factories out of there and fast.
Thanks. What protocol spec did you implement? Is it documented or reverse engineered? I ask only so we can watch for which ones Microsoft is most likely to iterate and change.
> Why should China side with US over Ukraine's territorial integrity as US violates Chinese territorial integrity?

I'm asking you and the CCP to stand for Ukraine's territorial integrity and to rebuke Russia. If territorial integrity and international norms are to be respected, shouldn't you and the CCP do that because it is the morale and consistent thing to do? A code of morality is not dependent on what others do, so talking about the US is a red herring.

> Furthermore, your entire position is incoherent here. Seems like when it comes to Taiwan you are supporting separatism,

I wish for the status quo and peace between China and Taiwan for as long as is practically possible. I think that major figures like Pelosi and others visiting Taiwan is pointlessly provocative and idiotic. On the other hand, Xi and the CCP constantly yelling at everyone to respect what China's territorial integrity, while condoning Putin's invasion is irreconcilable, competely devoid of morality, and oozes the worst kind of cynicism. It is detestable and you should repudiate it without delay.
Yeah... I can't believe some of the people commenting here. When there's an article about China, and there's comments in defense of the CCP, we suspect trolls. But my experiences with every single Atlassian product are so bad that I can't help myself thinking that there's some sort of troll army at work here from the Atlassian Marketing department.

Or my experiences with Atlassian have just been non-representatively bad.

Or those people work in jobs where the standards are just disappointingly low.

Having read through all the comments, I just don't know anymore.

I can’t imagine the complexity in actually doing this.
there are multiple subreddits devoted to pictures of cute baby animals, lovable pets, etc. They have rules against posting death mentions for your beloved pet, because it affects some other people too much. I'm just saying, it's not a choice unless you're to give up looking at cute animals which mostly brings joy to your life.

I'm not like that, it wouldn't affect me in the least, but we aren't all the same.
I have to constantly look around my A pillars and its annoying as hell. Even taking my Fit onto the race track, the damn pillar blocks half of the corner from view. It's a real problem.
That's worth 350k though? The same as the whole house was 5 years ago?
This discussion is about whether domain names can serve as identity not about me proving I can create a domain on the Internet.

However, here is a free subdomain I've done for you. I created http://hnretroid.mooo.com/, added an A record, and pointed it at 209.216.230.240, which is news.ycombinator.com.
I checked 3 TLDs:

> USD $10 per year might sound like a lot, but how about USD $1 per top-level domain for the first year?! If you manage to gain any sort of traffic in that year, the domain will practically pay for itself!

> Since mid-January 2023, all Freenom-based domains (.tk, .ml, .ga, .cf, .gq) are down and not available

> .free launch dates will be forthcoming.

That’s one weird website with possibly some free subdomains.
I have a better one: regulate. Corps get special protections precisely so they can be regulated. Either we strip corps of intellectual property rights, or they get regulated. That's how it's meant to be. But money has bought everyone into thinking the 90's didn't exist.
Asimov's robot series explains everything from the basics to the nuances rather well. All the criticisms I've seen in the context of LLMs are clearly not considering the body of work that Asimov produced on this topic.
I do not live in a luxury apartment building.

But if I did, that would be fine. The reason there aren't affordable apartments in LA is because of the regulatory/cost burden. When neighbors can easily require a CEQA analysis that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, the only buildings that pencil are expensive ones. This is a well documented phenomena.
That's against TOS, and my line of reasoning is that it helps against opportunistic and casual abuse, and there aren't really mitigations against more determined abuse.

e.g. your relationship with someone has soured. Your IRC client has your private messages with them saved in a backlog. You can access them at any time. vs. you normally wouldn't save a backlog of messages because Discord remembers your message history, and if their relationship with you has soured, they have the option of nuking their messages.
Conflict of interest. Making a platform and using it yourself naturally corrupts you, the incentives are too strong.

I did until they ruined everything. They had good Mercurial hosting, one thing that Github didn't, but then they decided to delete all our repos without a proper export tool either. And they thought we'd just migrate over to Git and stay on their platform? No thanks.

HipChat was good. Then they decided they couldn't compete with Slack so they started rewriting it and then gave up and killed it.

So...they've forcefully booted me off their platform.

I wish this were mandatory.

On Twitter, when it still made sense to use it (no, it's not about Musk, it sucked by shadowbanning almost everybody who wouldn't pay well before Musk came), several people whom I should really follow for my work basically FORCED ME TO UNFOLLOW THEM, because:

- their work-related tweets were ACTUALLY important for MY job (papers they published, slides from their talks, professional conversations...)

- but they buried them under garbage, meaning every work tweet was lost in 20/30 other tweets about food porn, what movie they were watching, what shirt they got for Christmas, and tons of other totally personal, totally irrelevant shit that was impossible to filter out, all coming as one stream

No matter how relevant their work tweet were, extracting them from that endless drivel just was not worth the time.
Haha, this is the new trend. And hiding scrollbars or making them unusable.
Yes, it is, but not without a cost. High throughput, no pauses, low memory overhead - pick two. However, stack-based allocation + statically inferred memory management + a tiny addition of reference counting only where needed (like in C++ or Rust) can easily get you all of those features in one program.
I’m playing with GitHub projects and while it’s actually showing crazy potential it has the problem of being an intrinsically developer-focused solution to a business problem.

Project management software isn’t about getting things done quite as much as it is about showing things getting done to the people who control the resources.

Jira is how you get managers to add headcount. That’s the reason managers adopt it. That and the fact that they don’t need to create an ssh key to use it.

Gitlab also has PjM aspirations but their enterprise, Gitlab-all-the-things model means it’s gonna be a non-starter for most teams.
You never had the pleasure of working on Yahoo!’s extremely customised bugzilla install I’m guessing. Once you used that you’d think Jira was pretty great and well optimised!
Why this story? Why now? Nothing new, no new insight from FT. I assume people just really want to share their opinion about voice assistants and Alexa?
In the greater Seattle area you need to travel quite far out to cut the price by any significant amount. There are some very basic suburban houses in Bellevue, Kirkland and Issaquah selling for upwards of $2 million, and those are a good 15-20 miles away from the city itself.

If you don’t believe it, pull up Zillow or Redfin and set a price threshold under $1M and see how many listings instantly disappear. If you want a good laugh, take a look at what’s left.
I am legally blind and must walk, but I can't see the drivers face. I've travelled around looking for good cities to call home, but haven't found one in the US. Given all the close calls I've had... I think my days are numbered and I can only hope it's a quick and mostly painless death.
