Apparently there were something like 17 passes before the start of that video.

Surely the Russians would have expected that a US military drone would have cameras? They had to have expected this.
of course night is a scientifically defined concept (which also takes human subjectivity into account). The term in science is "Astronomical night" and it has an exact physical description which can be unambiguously determined through scientific measurement.

comments like yours don't add much value to discussions about race.
That interpretation never occurred to me either, actually. I suppose that makes more sense. But since it did not occur to me, I can give GPT4 some slack. It came up at the same explanation I would have.
The metrics being up top made me pre-disposed to ignore this, but I kept scrolling anyway. After seeing all your failures, I actually think this is a great resume to show that you likely understand quite a lot about finding product-market fit, which is usually the most difficult piece of launching something new. I think this is a great idea to share, and I am considering perhaps doing something similar in the future.
They've been trying out a lot of things lately - Loops, Scheduling polls & email reactions in Outlook to name a few.
Excited to see how this will turn out.
Ask HN: Are bots allowed on HN?
I've seen a few bot accounts get shadowbanned here. Are they allowed? I've looked at the FAQ, and it doesn't seem to answer my question.

I deeply apologize for saying this but what an absolutely bizarre opinion. Let people enjoy what they enjoy.
Volkswagen actually makes replacement parts and has a good repair network, which is probably going to be more helpful over the long term than an extra 15 horsepower from a swankier electric motor.
I wonder how many times each successful person had failed before becoming successful.
Shipping at big companies can often be surprisingly hard so it's impressive to see how fast Microsoft is moving with AI integration into all their products.
I think Google actually got it right for how hard it is. They've pumped billions of dollars into it and their vision was always long term, and they decided to completely skipping the dangerous L2-3 "immediate driver attention may be required at any time" phases. Compare to other self driving tech which is promoted way too early, and only L2-3.
Mixed emotions. Just thinking here.. the build piece you have down pat.

Have you thought about investing in a community or many for a year or more. Understanding their needs then build products? 90% community / rep building 10% building.
I strictly use MIT / BSD style license for contributing because I believe GPL is stopping innovation by stopping refactoring libraries out of programs to be used by other programs, but doesn't really stop companies who don't want to give back source code: they just put things behind a service / different program.
It’s a warning how you can waste your life when you don’t appreciate it and instead are constantly yearning to be in some other reality. The end result is you are still mediocre and are closer to death with understandings that won’t help you.
I thought about this yesterday, it would be relatively easy to pull it off using GPT vision and some basic OS integration
When I hear individuals on talk about their backup routines they have developed, home nas servers, scripts that keep things synched, etc, I can’t help but to think about failed crypto ux attempts.

I don’t like relying on monolithic monopolized corporate services as much as the next hacker— but I think there should be an easy to understand service for the 98% of basic users.

If someone could make a service that detects and requests permission to connects to all of your cloud services and provides full backup service that includes whatever the best practices are it would seem like a win for those who don’t want to roll their own.

A marketable “sticker” Ala “intel inside” ie - “open backup compatible” would be good to have with a simple but serviceable api.

I think today there is little financial incentive for storage providers to make the data easy to access via machine.

Ideally an api would not only allow incoming data to be quickly compared and synched… but would allow graceful and intelligent transfers or splits or duplication levels among stores, in the case that you want to change services or have your own backup.

everything you just talked about is not 'race' but 'genetic history', and attempting to redefine the commonly used term 'race' for the scientific concept of 'genetic history' isn't super helpful.

I would be very curious to see if there's data on whether replacing prison with caning (for certain crimes) reduces recidivism.
I think the bigger issue is that mj impact can vary wildly. You can just laugh more or you just met god and are traveling back in time to the moment you were just at, which is not an ideal moment to be in a car ( you might be going 20 miles an hour slowly over someone ).

IL is slowly starting to see the same issue in the suburbs. I have zero problem with weed legalization in principle.

As always, the issue is with people and that is hard to correct.
> it's incredibly easy to get hold of regardless of its legal status
> At least with legalisation it can be regulated and taxed.

If it is so easy to acquire, how will legalization result necessarily in regulation and taxation? I am sure some users would go the legal route, but I am aware of people in states that legalized who still grow and sell their own to avoid taxes.
Are Pollock or Malevich real artists? Their work doesn't require great technical skill.
Many large enterprises already store almost everything on 365 and azure. Other than budget, the only thing they need to turn on copilot is for it to adopt the same data privacy guarantees already available in 365.
I meant on whether or not it has a significant representation in the homeless community - not that it exists.
It's a step in the right direction, but it still seems to have a problem understanding that the vast majority of hands have 5 fingers.
Again - it's a bit more nuanced than that - adults in same bathrooms with opposite gender children. Men in women's sports, etc. The other problem people have with the "woke" crowd is that they have made it a job. The same applies to anti-woke as well. These groups are no longer out to solve the problem, they are out to perpetuate the conflict to cash in on views / reads / controversy which they actively take too far. But again, I will try to reply in a very limited manner because this argument won't be solved here.

The same applied to topics that were here before the work term - climate change, religion, violent video games, etc. They paved away for career crusaders, rather than ideological ones.
Interesting, in my MK8 GTI S I have all physical buttons for radio/hvac stuff, the screen is there but i dont need it while driving. Lower trim for the win :)
That seems like creative accounting. A lot of food is refined in Holland for export, but the raw material isn't necessarily grown there.

What do you use for health insurance as a founder only early startup in the US?
We just moved to the US and are an early startup with pre-seed funding with no other employees. The cheapest option seems to be a travel/expat insurance from our home country.

What health insurance plan do you use as an early stage founder only startup?
Unfortunately those laws are European and we do not have much to say about it anymore since the government wanted to milk the Natura2000 subsidies (sidenote they also went to farmers).
Brown nosing need not involve lying - you can be obsequious without agreeing to an obvious falsehood.
I have an early 2010's golf GTI with a manual transmission and plan to drive this thing until the wheels fall off haha.

I brought it in for yearly maintenance yesterday and asked about the existing VM "ID.4" lineup and the maintenance manager shook his head and said they're an absolute nightmare. The biggest issue supposedly is battery degradation and motor failures.

He went on to mention that the Audi line of EV's also has significant problems, specifically any time when drivers have to use any amount of AC during the hot summer. I also know one person who returned an Audi E-Tron after four months for an ICE equivalent Q3 due to range problems and quirks.
If you want to buy one today, you could just look at the Chevy Bolt EUV. Same price-point, same range, and on dealer lots already.
David Foster Wallace talked and wrote extensively about marijuana addiction/withdrawal. A lot of responses to this tend to be if someone has a negative outcome they were prone to mental illness anyway and besides, it's not as bad as alcohol. I'm personally skeptical as to whether the negative outcomes with recreational, high potency weed are being quantified sufficiently and whether we're digging a hole for future generations.
CORS Explained with a Zine
The profitable projects took 2-4 years each of my life. If anything what I learned from this is to move on much much faster when it isn't working but leave it up for future opportunities to happen.
I own both a VW/Audi EV (e-tron) and a Tesla. The dealer support for the Audi is extremely pitiful, the software in the car in the app is buggy and unreliable, and that is to say nothing of how bad the associated app is. The annual cost for the advanced features is absurd. The long range charging network is a disaster. I could go on.

I am by no means a Tesla fanboy, and Tesla has its own faults, specifically around build quality on the Model 3 (though the S/X are quite nice.) But it's a better EV in every way.
I didn't know this about the GTI, but it is my pet peeve with EVs. Tesla thought they'd do the "huge iPad in the middle" thing and every other manufacturer copycatted it.
I think we'll get a glimpse of something similar in Windows 12, though I do wonder if they will limit it to Microsoft 365 users, since the compute costs of billions of users that only bought the Windows license would quickly add up.
It's worth mentioning that Microsoft seems to demand support for Thunderbolt mode for Win11 certification.
My philosophy about any shell language is that if performance is a concern, then you should probably use a real programming language for it. Using shell scripting to handle batch processing tasks just creates dependencies on unmaintainable code.

I know that psychosis on alcohol happens, but I have never personally seen a person get psychotic from alcohol.

I think it is important to distinguish between Blender and Cycles and Eyesight, the render engine that Studio uses that is in question.

Blender is the application and Cycles is the render engine.

Studio itself is a Unity application that would almost certainly be incompatible almost in its entirety with any source code they could pull from Blender. At that point they would be porting logic.

Their Eyesight renderer is a separate application that looks to be a fork of Blender with everything but Cycles pulled out. COPYING.txt explains that Eyesight is based on Cycles using the Apache License v2.

C:\Program Files\Studio 2.0\PhotoRealisticRenderer\win\64\license if you're curious.

Not that it excuses them necessarily, but Studio was not created by LEGO. Bricklink was purchased by LEGO relatively recently and had no say in its development. It is very likely a small team built it not even thinking about legalities.
I think it's a focus thing. Way too many holes to plug at current rates.

There are a lot more bank deposits than green paper.

It's similar to how banknotes originally were 1:1 correlated with physical gold (or whatever) in the vault, then banks realized they could lend out more notes than they have gold in the vault.

Very similar situation with electronic vs paper dollars.

Most bank deposits are created out of thin air by commercial banks when they make loans. There isn't enough paper money to cover all those deposits.

That's not accurate. OpenSSH (and OpenBSD) have a myth around it about lack of security vulnerabilities, but while better than the average, it's wildly exaggerated:

Reference:
https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list.php?vendor_id=...

I remember people in the '90s and '00s being smug about still being on ssh.com, because something like 75% of vulnerabilities in SSH implementations for a long time were introduced only into OpenSSH.

How about Apache-2.0? My mental model is that MIT, BSD, and Apache are permissive, while GPL is copyleft.
The best way to reduce failures is to not try at all.
Yea agreed. The moment I need to do anything complicated I start getting this gut feeling I’d be better off just writing a quick Go cli tool.
Citymapper is useful but has extremely high battery usage on both Android and iOS. I use Google Maps and TfL Go instead, but I'd happily use Citymapper more if they fix this.
I was asking ChatGPT how I could use LLMs for setting up a text adventure game. Like using libraries to find certain keywords from a sentence. For example, if the user types a "search" keyword or synonyms, then I'll spit out the response to "search".

Then, I realized I could just play the text adventure game with ChatGPT. So I did the following:
- I said I had 100 health points and 100 magic points
- I have two types of attacks. A normal attack does 25pts of damage to health points and has a low chance of missing. A heavy attack does 50 pts of damage to health points and has a medium to high chance of missing. It leaves me open to attacks.
- There are three types of enemies: easy, medium, and hard. An easy enemy has 50 health points and does 15 pts of damage. It has a medium to high chance of missing. Similar stats to medium and hard enemies, with increased health points, increased damage, and lower chances of missing.

Then I said let's play an encounter with an easy enemy. It was great! It said I was in a forest, and it told me that there was a rusty sword near by to pick up. I had to fight a goblin for an easy enemy.

It was very cool. Made me want to do some more world building, feed that into ChatGPT, and then play within that world.
Nonsense. Go on the audi forums and look at all the a3 e-tron owners who have nearly dead batteries who can't get them replaced under warranty without threat of legal action.
AlphaGo Zero

It had basic rules of Go as an input.
what do you think this forum gains with this kind of comment?
Man, this is an 80 year old issue. Move on already. The people that did that aren’t even alive anymore. And their offspring have a totally different government from the one that did the atrocities.
I'm not purchasing the Tesla for more horsepower, I just want the best drivetrain tech with the most time on the road. Tesla delivers that.

No, it's not "very well defined". It's actually pretty poorly defined and has a variety of contradictory definitions attached to it.

Can you elaborate on why you feel like it's being pushed on you?

I've visited several US jurisdictions where it's legal. While it's still illegal in my area, I'm adjacent to fully legal and medically allowed areas. The only time I've felt any pressure was visiting Las Vegas, where every cab/uber/etc driver volunteered a recommendation for a pot store.

I found the recommendations useful for knowing which stores are overpriced.
My biggest takeaway from all of this. I’m very impressed with their velocity.
A couple of years ago I was on a walk with my wife and she asked me “what’s the point of Siri? it can hardly do anything useful outside weather and timers.” I told her a tall tale of how these things are essentially going to become our personal assistants in the future, they’ll know about our unique situations and can act accordingly. Just like the rich and powerful have people who specialise in organising their lives so they get more done in less time, so AI through natural interfaces will all of us many of those same benefits.

Progress… This is the first time I see a product that fits that description.
>it feels like it's being pushed on us these days by states and corporations.

We can say the same for every popular consumer product.

I personally prefer people choosing what they consume over criminalizing the ?billions? of people that find it harmless.
Yeah. I do not get the "comfortable" part either. What does it have to do with Linux? Look at the code itself. sighs
Maybe we're getting close to what makes me doubt the utility of LLMs. Much like humans, they are quick to employ System 1 instead of System 2. Unlike humans, their System 1 is so well trained it has a response for almost everything, so it doesn't have a useful heuristic for engaging System 2.

This is one of the best replies I have ever received on the internet and I thank you.
Well, i've heard our ancestors were afraid of books when they came out, then they were afraid of movies and cinemas, then some people were afraid of the internet. The story continues with AI.
The transactions in the account are rental payments from a tenant and bills paid related to the rental. The account has had the same types of transactions for 4-5 years. It is a shared account with someone else (because I only own part of the rental), so it's possible I am being caught up in something related to them. They are closing that shared account and my personal accounts. They started closing the other persons accounts first (that is why I feel it may be related to them).
This is a good idea. I already did something like it to my works.

However, the items I added to my works have a stronger claim than 90% AI-free: I used "100% AI-free organic content."

I think I'll keep this stronger claim because I can; I have not tried any of these tools. Not even once. I refuse to.

I am betting on the fact that if I don't, I'll start to have more influence, like Paul Graham said a few days ago.

Women don't have prostates.

If a man dresses like a woman and thinks he's a woman, that is a mental condition that deserves treatment and that person deserves to be treated humanely like the rest of us, but it doesn't turn them into a woman.
It's easy to prompt for people with closed mouths and hands not visible, but with MidJourney at least, I would consistently get what I can only describe as "stuff on their face" with almost every prompt involving a human. Less often with white people, but even then pretty often.

I mean, I just typed "/imagine asian warrior nun --v 4" into Discord, thinking of Beatrice from the recent Netflix series, and three of the four results show what I'm talking about: https://i.imgur.com/499QCn6.png
Yes! Exactly this! I also know an owner of an E-tron SUV who had abysmal experiences with the dealer and well, the drivetrain / engineering of the e-tron itself.

I don't really like Elon, and I think Tesla interior quality is sub-par even to my VW but if I had to buy an EV it would be a Tesla. Full stop.

I don't understand who's downvoting this? I'm objectively NOT a fan of Tesla, admit they have some faults but because I'm buying based on hard tech that's clearly better (some would argue with better environmental outcomes) they're not okay with my opinion?
This looks great. Lately it seemed like all the new EVs being announced were bloated 6000lb SUVs pushing $60 or $70k+, so something that is reasonably sized and affordable with modern charging speeds was sorely needed.

Unlikely that it will come to the US or Canada unfortunately.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
This is a service for companies that already store all of their e-mail, documents, files, chat, etc with Microsoft. If there was a concern about data privacy that company wouldn’t be using Microsoft 365 in the first place. I think the bigger concern is how your data is used for training. If it is at all, I don’t know.
In a sense the model is universal. It's just a 100GB (give or take) neural network.

And apparently (or so I heard, I think) feeding transformer models training data of Language A could improve its ability to understand Language B. So maybe there's something truly universal in some sense.
I felt the same. The presentation is innovative and impressive (for sure a SUCCESS), but I do not feel like there's anything broadly meaningful in the content and the whole thing feels like a massive exercise in namedropping.
Are caffeine and alcohol also pushed by corporations? Alcohol is many many orders of magnitude more destructive and toxic than THC, do we really want to go back to prohibition days? Illegalized drugs do not work. Period. The solution to all drug problems is legalizing it. Yes, including crystal meth and heroin. The absolute worst a government can do for substance abuse is to ban addictive, toxic drugs, which makes them so much more destructive. The opposite is shown to work: https://substanceabusepolicy.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1...
A floating settlement on Venus is not far off in terms of what we can achieve. Perhaps we even already have the technologies required.

It would actually be easier than on Earth because on Venus atmospheric pressure increases like crazy as you get near the surface. So an habitat pressurized at 1 Earth atmosphere would naturally float in Venus' atmosphere like a submarine or whatnot floats in Earth's oceans.

My understanding is that at the relevant altitude in Venus' atmosphere the temperature would also be very Earth-like so no big heating/cooling issues, either. I have read some say that the upper atmosphere of Venus is actually the most human-friendly environment in the solar system outside of Earth.

It's actually not a far-fetched proposal.
