Yes, I’ve mostly played games that had a console release and came out of the box with reasonable console controls. That said, the steam deck is really at the next level when it comes to being able to control PC-centric games. The combo of mouse control through the touch pads, touchscreen, and key combo mapping to buttons means that you can have a decent quality of life on a lot of titles meant for PC. And someone has probably already done that hard work for you and just uploaded a community controller profile to steam. It’s really a lot better than trying to play a lot of games with a laptop keyboard and trackpad. Certainly you sacrifice something to portability for a game designed only to be played with a full keyboard and mouse.
Too bad. Not a single mention of CTLoop in the whole paper.
Not the only reason, but was definitely one reason that contributed to the decision to cancel my Model 3 order and go with a Kia EV6 instead.
Ask HN: How is your Apple WeatherKit transition going?
We updated our product’s forecast functionality to Apple WeatherKit’s REST API ahead of Apple shutting down DarkSky’s API today.

The API change was mostly straightforward, but the system reliability has been rough so far - yesterday afternoon and this morning, the API is returning high numbers of 502/503/504 errors, and on a large portion of the successful requests we’re seeing latency in the tens of seconds. Apple’s status page[1] indicated an “Available” status for most of this period; it took them over 12 hours to declare an issue that they dated as starting 7:47pm yesterday. Their official support channel has been mostly unresponsive.

How has the experience with the WeatherKit transition been for others? Does anyone have information about the situation and what level of reliability and support we should expect going forward?

> social media is bad for the psyche

I think it's more like social media is weaponised by bullies rather than it being inherently bad.

I was assaulted in public at high school multiple times. Today, that kind of thing can be posted and recorded on social media to make your humiliation be permanent.

Banning social media makes this "less bad", but it doesn't solve the actual problem. It just drives that problem back underground so adults don't have to be held accountable.

The problem, in my view, is that the way we do schooling is itself inherently broken. It enables and even encourages bullying, by both adults and teenagers alike.

Social media is kind of like a weapon of mass destruction in this environment. But why does this environment exist in the first place, and why don't we do something about it as as society?
I used AI to bet on horse-racing. Here’s what happened

Except this isn't just tech. It's a managed service. The advancement of technology can no longer cover the increase in electricity and salaries.
Nope. Look at the "Ending the Criminalization of Poverty" section of https://civilrightscorps.org/our-work/. It's full of successful lawsuits against small town police departments that turned around 40% of the population into a cash cow they ruthlessly exploited for unconstitutional fines and fees.

If anyone shot the cops the entire system would rush resources in and teach them a lesson. This is why the idea the second amendment protects against tyranny is silly.

I have a Deck and a first gen M1 Air, and I still pull out the Air to code. The Air is lighter, packs easier, lasts longer without charging, and has a real keyboard and a bigger screen.
But now you're asking the government to regulate against a hypothetical damage that may never occur. The problem with "vision" is that we can all let our imaginations run wild about new technology is capable of.

I remember having the exact same discussions on HN about autonomous vehicles over a decade ago. The consensus then was that autonomous vehicles would make truck and taxi drivers obsolete within 5 years, and that this massive, sudden loss of jobs would cause a lot of social unrest. Yet here we are in 2023 and there are a grand total of zero driverless trucks on the road. I'm not saying AV tech is totally useless or that we won't someday get to a world where a large percentage of vehicles are self-driven, but it's clear now that the hype and fear around them was heavily exaggerated.

I feel the same way about ChatGPT. It's definitely cool and impressive, but the hype will die down once people realize how truly limited it is.
> I don't care

Well, It's easy to see why you get backlash when you tell people to change their way of life, get asked for a reason, and say you don't care.
If you are based in the US and directly invest in mutual funds in India, keep in mind the US taxes it in extremely unfavorable terms via PFIC[0]. I browsed through their website and it appears their tax guidance is only for Indian taxation, which is fair but something to keep in mind. If you have to deal with US taxes, I would highly avoid holding mutual funds abroad, and just buy US-based India-focused funds.

Gotta look at the actual numbers for jobs in photography. These numbers say a lot more then a "few" data points.
The Feds specifically declined to prosecute for this.

It’s a very bizarre legal theory, and also I believe entirely untested and hugely problematic as you say.

Edwards used actual campaign donations to payoff his mistress to the tune of $1mm and they brought charges and he was found not guilty by the jury.

Here we have a long-standing “fixer” for Trump doing something he had always done and had a history of doing for Trump, with or without a campaign ongoing.

Calling it a campaign finance violation for a business partner to do the legal things that they always did is absurd on its face, besides the fact that such a law would put every politician everywhere in legal jeopardy, and yet surprisingly this theory seems to only be trotted out against Trump!
This sort of thinking is, I think, pretty important. It is good if people feel responsible for following their oaths and professional obligations. This obviously depends on a personal interpretation of those obligations, so it will have to be performed by all us laymen. I don’t think, as some of the other comments here have pointed out, that the lack of legal training is a huge problem.

But that’s a personal obligation. And the obligation is not to simply not comply, it is to blow the whistle. You very well may be wrong about your interpretation of that oath, so the only answer is to, basically, bounce it to the populace and see what the people’s interpretation of that document is (might have to go through the news, courts, and politics to ultimately get the public’s opinion). This will likely be a career killer—it wouldn’t be an obligation, if following it was easy and cost-free!

This is not really what has happened here. In the NYC example: The police department is not an individual with an oath, it is a bureaucratic and legal entity that exists within a defined chain of command, it is supposed to comply with the laws that the government passes. In fact, if the department is asking individual officers to do something unethical by not following the law, the officers have an individual obligation to blow the whistle and not comply with the department.

In the SF strike: The police union is a labor entity, it exists to represent the interests of the members. The officers were not saying they were asked as police officers to do something unconstitutional, they were saying that the order to not strike or protest was unconstitutional. That has nothing to do with their oath.
The police aren't supposed to execute drug users either I don't think we have a different system for that. Or people with covid (??).

And it's actually ok to be upset by people being killed. Good even. If it doesn't bother you your soul is weak and cowardly, as much as you might try to frame it as some inevitable result of objective facts or whatever.
It makes sense that a product that came later would incorporate what they learned from the previous one. The race in manufacturing is always between "better expertise/technology" and "cost cutting".

(not that teachers shouldn't get paid more, they should)
I've got no problem with that so long as there's also a standing policy that if you refuse to follow the law you're fired.

The scipy documentation you linked is specifically for generating a FIR filter using the Remez algorithm, which is why it is written in that style. It is a very specific use case of the algorithm and probably not the one I would recommend learning from. Another top level comment has a link to a decent overview of the Remez algorithm written without the "Signals and Systems" language.
Heavier cars are more dangerous in collisions.

The extra weight of a big battery requires a bigger frame to carry it, bigger suspension, wider tires, and so on.

I’m not really happy that some of these monster EVs are approaching 10,000lbs with fast 0-60 times. It’s like a kinetic missile that can reach a momentum capable of obliterating your average 3000lb compact car in under 5 seconds.

People usually underestimate where that line is. In my past experience, I ended up benchmarking binary search vs linear search on a collection of small objects. The breakeven point on a modern CPU was at 10 megabytes of data. Although this is a particularly extreme example, most people assume that collections of a few thousand items are where you should switch to big-O-optimal algorithms, but the breakeven is usually several orders of magnitude higher.
Good. Nobody is obligated to remove that content.

Anyone who genuinely denies the negative impact of our changing climate is flat-earth/heliocentrism denial levels of stupid. That doesn't mean the content cannot exist on the platform though, even without the "pre-bunking" we've come to expect. Sometimes on the internet, people just say dumb things and it's up to us to refute them. Worse yet, in a capitalist system where we keep these content silos private, people can purchase and manipulate them however they want. One hand pulls it left, the other hand overcompensates.

I'm simply tired of this "Save the Twitter" rhetoric. It's over, nobody swooped in and Superman'ed it. Here are your options:

1. Use nothing

2. Use Twitter

3. Use another product like Twitter, take the same risk

4. Own the content you publish and consciously filter the content you consume

> the guy is not the wealthiest in the world. He's sitting on a pile of rare collectible beanie babies.

Beanie babies are a novelty. Stock in market leading companies is not.

Gates, Bezos, etc. have handed over control of their companies to the extent that yes, they could liquidate without impacting the company’s ability to operate. Musk is not far from that if he chooses. Tesla and SpaceX have mature products that plenty of capable CEOs can manage.

I get what you’re saying that the act of mass selling on the open market decreases your net worth. But stock can be used to purchase companies, secure loans, etc., so it’s still a productive asset without needing to convert it to cash. And, if he chose to sell Tesla or SpaceX the acquiring company almost always pays a premium over the market price. It’s not like he would just dump his shares on the market without a strategy. Just like you wouldn’t list your house until it’s staged properly. But your house is still part of your personal wealth even if you couldn’t sell it for a fair price by midnight tonight.

Plus, it’s nearly impossible to rank wealth on any other metric like cash on hand as that information is not public.
Why is that an error? This is very new tech, if anything the rate of change is accelerating and nowhere near slowing down. That it will flatten at some point goes without saying (you'd hope!), but for the time being it looks like we're on the increasing first derivative part of the sigmoid, not on the flattening part, and from two years to a decade takes you roughly from '2 kg luggable' to 'iphone' and that was a sea change.
Which means they're selling marginal stuff.

I used Mozilla for many years and loved it, despite it being a real hog in the early oughts. It's funny to think back about all the handwringing about XUL performance and whatnot that happened in places like Slashdot.

For many years every time I got a new machine I would make the effort to switch my link hover cursor to the old Netscape/Mozilla one [1][2] just because I liked it. There is a 22 year old Bugzilla issue for this that I had bookmarked [3]. I don't know how to do this now and it would probably look weird on my HDPI display, but it was something I liked to do when I was younger and more motivated to mess with my setup. These days I just accept whatever is given to my by Apple or Ubuntu.

I had the same feeling, the review is fantastic!
I'm not sure why clipping functions are relevant, because the probability of death isn't 100% even for semis hitting pedestrians at highway speeds. It's actually more like 80-90%. There's still quite a bit of long tail for higher speeds beyond that as well. SUVs and other "heavy" consumer vehicles are somewhere in the 75% range at comparable speeds, while sedans are down around 65% mortality. Feel free to find your own numbers, but I'm using [1]. Vehicle weight and size clearly have a significant effect on mortality even at high speeds.

However, not all collisions are at highway speed. Most collisions are at relatively low speed, where weight is an even more significant factor in the energy involved. There are tradeoffs you can make between weight contributed by safety equipment (e.g. bumpers), but to a large extent those tradeoffs are mandated by regulations rather than consumers or OEM engineers.

this guy is a hero, i love it.
The Pew study is interesting, but I feel that it's whole approach manages to elide the more important question of what specific policies a majority of the population would support. It is clear (in general, and in the Pew report) that there are many policies that both the "progressive left" and "conservative right" will never agree on. But it is less clear what might be the support for policies like e.g. government industrial policy involving investment in US-based businesses which can be spun either way but are generally "populist".

Alas, we appear unlikely to find out, since no presidential/senate candidate is going to do anything truly populist with economic policy for fear of pissing off the big donors.

You should be concerned. You need to reframe this technological shift.

At some point these AI's will no longer be tools. They will be an alien intelligence that is beyond our intelligence in the way that we are beyond an amoeba.

Perhaps we should tread carefully in this regard, especially considering that the technologies that are public (GPT-4 specifically) have already displayed a multitude of emergent capabilities beyond what their creators intended or even thought possible.

>Actually, it stems from the Nuremberg Trials, and actually having a goddamn moral compass

It doesn't 'stem' from anywhere. It's just a right-wing thing to pretend that police have some unwritten ability to decide the legality of laws.

> While it may scare the bajeezus out of many, the responsibility for calling out governmental bullshit is vested solely with the People, and law enforcers are still People to.

Calling out 'governmental bullshit' is something they can do on their own time by practicing their 1st amendment rights. Choosing to not enforce a law because you don't like it is not free speech. It's job abandonment and should be treated as such.

If you think part of your job is morally wrong, you should quit.

California may be high tax for high income people, but for most middle and low income folks, it is actually pretty cheap. CA's top marginal income tax rate is actually a temporary provision which may or may not be extended when it expires, depending on who the voters elect.

> driving away the 1% of households that pay 50% of the taxes in California, worsening the situation for everyone.

One big problem is that over the decades the economy has shifted more to services and less to sales of physical goods, so sales tax revenue has declined disproportionately. We should have a sales tax on services to offset reductions in income tax, which would be much better for creating steady revenue.

>this is the only place we’ve lived where it would add an additional $2,000+/month expense to keep our family’s healthcare while unemployed.

That's inaccurate. If your income is low, you can get subsidized coverage through Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), up to 100%.

>government retirement plans like 401(k)s

401k is not a "government plan", it is an employer-sponsored plan. There is no "retirement age" associated with a 401k or an IRA, for that matter. You are making a pretty big mistake here by not maxing out your available opportunities to defer taxes. The tax you pay when you retire on such contributions is based on where you live at the time, not where you lived when you earned the money.

>Lastly, we won’t allow ourselves to be audited without our knowledge by the IRS by using a cloud-based personal finance app that could be subpoenaed behind our backs if they continue pushing for new powers.

Paranoid maybe? Audits are a necessary component of our voluntary reporting system, and you have nothing to fear if you pay what you legitimately owe. You will absolutely be notified if you are being audited, and get a chance to provide accurate information. Far more people cheat on their taxes than are unfairly dunned by the IRS.
