I'll contrast this with Cruise, which are driving autonomously in San Francisco.

I hate them.

At least in the area I'm in (the Inner Sunset), they often cruise around with no passengers while waiting for a request. While doing so, they circle around idling at 10-15mph, pausing for 30 seconds or more at stop signs. It's long enough where just when you decide they've completely stopped and start to go around, they "wake up" and start moving again. I have personally been held up by four separate Cruise vehicles acting this way within a ten block section of a single trip. It is maddening, and there's no safe or reasonable way to pass them. I am generally quite patient and not particularly affected by road rage, but I'll confess that I have spent significant amounts of time fantasizing about an Office Space printer scene styled destruction of these vehicles.

They need to either find places to pull over (ideal) or drive like normal participants in traffic. Their current behavior feels disruptively slow (cars end up backed up behind them) and simultaneously unpredictable and confusing.

Worse, in other areas like Fell St., they drive exclusively in the left hand lane while driving 15mph below the flow of traffic. This actually causes significantly extra traffic during busier times as that street is often at or near capacity. It also disrupts the design of that road, which has a "green wave" of lights paced at about 30mph. Dramatically fewer cars make it through any section of road when you have one car driving 20mph that prompts everyone behind it to merge over to the right, further impacting the throughput of other lanes.

I've also seen acute instances where they completely fail in situations where humans would cooperate to solve an issue. In one instance, a left-turning Muni bus was unable to complete the turn due to a Cruise vehicle coming from that direction. The Cruise vehicle had entered too far into the intersection before stopping. There's paint on the intersection to indicate that cars need to stop further back, and the Cruise had failed to obey this. The bus was unable to back up due to traffic behind it as well as visibility concerns, and the only real solution was for the Cruise vehicle to move out of the way. There was, however, no way to instruct, plead with, or otherwise convince the Cruise to move. It had no place in particular to be, so it had no reason to decide to do anything other than sit in place with infinite patience and wait for everyone else to resolve the situation on its behalf. I watched as this completely gridlocked a busy intersection for at least five cycles of traffic lights before I got bored and left. I have no idea how they finally unwedged the situation, but I have to imagine it involved the bus driver getting out and having the cars behind clear a space for it to back up and allow the Cruise to complete its prime directive and pass.

Will these things get better? Sure. But right now, they are inexcusably bad drivers.
Create a swapfile and you essentially trade disk space for memory space.
I never minded working in a cubicle when I started working professionally in the early 00s. For me, it was around 1000% times better than around 2015 when the place I worked at went to full open office.

Probably the nicest I had was a shared private office with someone on my team. Got privacy and the ability to collaborate at the same time.

> I generally don't enjoy seeing preprints like this going to the top of Hacker News. This would be a higher quality submission if the paper was peer-reviewed or put into a greater context, like a blog post discussion or something like that.

This opinion seems totally backwards to me. I'm not sure what you think peer-reviewed means? Also I prefer full preprints than blog posts. But then again, I have no idea why ones like the daily blogposts of Seth Godin (to pick on one randomly, sorry it's not personal) so often go to the top of hacker news. Maybe opinions like yours explains it?
I would not drive anything on the road without insurance. Imagine if someone were to hit you and leave the scene after causing serious injury. Or, of course, the culprit does not have insurance or is under-insured.

The bottom line is you could be a serious financial trouble if you are not insured. You can also be sued if you hit someone or cause injury. In the US, it simply isn't smart to expose yourself by not having insurance for activities where injury or liability could be a factor. An unrelated example: I have been flying model airplanes and helicopters for decades. I have a million dollars insurance to cover that activity.

There is a huge misunderstanding in what bikes are trying to achieve. No sane one is suggesting you use a bike for a 50 mile work commute.

The criticism is against giant SUVs and pickup trucks for in-city travel. You dont need to burn 2 gallons of fuel to carry a gallon of milk and dozen eggs from 2 miles away. A cargo bike like in the video above is sufficient.

Most cars have 1 passenger in them currently. How do I know that? Because HoV lanes are always empty.
Technology is just the tip of the iceberg that is knowledge and understanding. The deepest advancements to knowledge and understanding come primarily from self-driven and self-motivated investigation. The closer you get to "technology", the more development is driven by the necessity to solve a problem. But technological advancement would stagnate and plateau without advancements in knowledge and understanding.

If another animal capable of advanced thought and mechanism had its own branch of philosophy focused on its own species then it would be demonstrable in itself that it's a worldview of selfishness. It's about the self. And carnal interests of the self are to benefit oneself.

To say that "SpaceX hasn't been able to get full reusability, not for lack of trying" is a huge stretch when they've only just gotten around to the first orbital flight tests of the vehicle they designed for that purpose.

Similarly, the only other company that has even tried to make a proven launch vehicle reusable is Rocketlab. So suggesting that others are struggling, when they either haven't even tried yet or are still working on getting to orbit, is ridiculous.

On top of that, the argument that reusability doesn't work for others for any reasons other than policy also doesn't really fit. Launch prices for all other rockets are higher, even the ones developed to better compete with F9 are only in the ballpark of its launch price and completely uncompetitive on launch cost and cadence.

> Uber's drivers effectively use their wages to cover all of those costs. I'm curious how Waymo is handling all of the fleet maintenance, recharging, cleaning, etc, and how they plan to scale that infrastructure.

Probably large regional hubs that cars will drive themselves to for periodic maintenance (or get towed to if the vehicle becomes disabled). Much more potential to bring down total cost than the 'each driver does it themselves' model.
Except having 1 young child hardly requires an SUV. The “minivan years” is really a small percentage of the average American adult’s lifetime.

Exclude people who never have multiple kids, and those you have yet to have kids or whose kids have left home and large vehicles simply don’t fit most people’s lifestyles.

Which is why pickup trucks can be so popular cars just don’t have many passengers on average.

My sentence structure is fine, as is my word choice.

The parent to my original comment talked about how evil it was to question the integrity of an election, and I snidely brought up how it wasn't considered a problem until Trump did it. mrguyorama's response was to suggest that Trump sympathizers filing legal cases on questionable or nonexistence evidence justified the decidedly anti-democratic response to his election. So, I facetiously asked how they think democratic measures justify the anti-democratic action they claim to abhor.

"gov.uk Design System" puts the navigation at the top of the page inside their header component.

> Use the header with navigation if you need to include basic navigation, contact or account management links.

* A list of links is directly visible in wider screens
* These are collapsed into the equivalent of a hamburger menu on smaller screens
* The label "Menu" and a downwards-pointing arrow are shown instead of a "hamburger" icon
* The possible interactions are highlighted on keyboard navigation (yellow border moves when Tab is pressed)
* Degrades gracefully when JavaScript is disabled by leaving the menu expanded.

The mission of the university, from the university's perspective, is to advance the world's fundamental knowledge first and teach students second. (Some may see this as 1a and 1b, mind you, and smaller liberal arts colleges and colleges that do not award doctoral degrees will reduce the fundamental knowledge mission.)

The students, in large part, pay for the educational piece (alongside funding) but significant funding is needed for advancing the world's knowledge.
> [...] actively discourage or outlaw normal car designs in favor of cars like the one in the link.

I read their comment as encouraging city-specific measures. They specifically reference "urban living", "human-scale living", or slowing down vehicles for "in-town trips". I agree that use-cases exist for larger vehicles, as even in the densest city centers delivery vehicles continue to need access. IMO larger vehicles need not be the vehicles we optimize for, or even allow at all times, in city centers, where such vehicles aren't needed by most residents.

> [...] 100% to encourage the kind of alternatives you listed to decrease overall single family car use, not try to force everyone to change car designs [...]

Honestly I'm thinking of this more like a large cargo bike, and less like a car. It's like a Canta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canta_(vehicle)) in the Netherlands. It's not meant to serve the same purpose as today's cars, and we probably both agree it would feel unsafe to drive one amongst fast-moving traffic. It fills a gap in the transportation spectrum that's well-suited to certain areas, and I believe we should devote more infrastructure to vehicles which match the needs of an area, which I don't believe is always full-sized passenger vehicles.
To anyone looking for a pragmatic solution to a sock shortage, I can't recommend this1 24-pack enough. Unlike most socks that pretend to be 100% cotton, these actually are, which means they aren't as durable as plastic alternatives, and feature a seam that can get in the way, but they provide unparalleled comfort. Especially if you don't mind going through multiple pairs on busy days.

While I appreciate your intent and effort - I don't think it's actually useful to link to other submissions unless either they have comments (ideally only if there's at least one interesting comment, but at least more than no comments at all), or if it's a submission of the same subject but to a different source link - in which case it's probably more useful to just link the alternative source, if it's worth reading, rather than potentially split the discussion into separate comment threads if the other is empty.

Linking to a different submission of the same link with 0 comments doesn't add anything.

Ask HN: How to train a neural network based on pose estimation landmarks?
I am experimenting with pose estimation. In this case, the pose estimation uses your phone camera to detect the positions of your body's joints.

Now I will film myself performing simple actions, like, say, a pushup, or perhaps throwing a punch, several dozen times. I will process these videos in order to export the frame-by-frame positions of each joint.

What's the easiest way for me to take these time-series arrays and train a small neural network on them, so that given a new video, or rather, the last N frames of a live video feed, I can detect the action that was performed, if any?

I can already imagine how to preprocess/normalize the training data. I just need someone to point me in the right direction to learn how to train a simple model and perform inference.

I am using Python.

Thanks for any help!
Definitely! You can tell that the idea of what constitutes high-tech changes over time. Alphaville (1965) has letters that look like they're made of stiff wires and The Terminator (College Roadshow Version) (1984) uses a 7-segment display style font (with plenty of liberties taken). Both of these look old-fashioned in retrospect but at the time probably evoked very modern imagery.
Libby (overdrive) shut off my grandma's Overdrive account (Canada) and sister-in-law's Overdrive account (US) because we had the nerve, to try and use the library.

But this is just more jargon. At the end of the day, you're still going to sit on a chair to rest your legs and fully expect that your backside remains off the floor. But you have no expectation that an illusory cup of water will quench your thirst. Your interlocutor knows this and so feels no need to press you on terminology. This is an example of where the jargon obscures the meaning. I feel like something similar is going on with illusionism. Frankish wants to use the illusion jargon, but still make use of the fact that what's being picked out by phenomenal properties has explanatory efficacy in the world (at least before I started to read him as a plain old eliminativist).

I truly believe the Internet is to blame for this. as predicted decades ago.

Media consumption, endless entertainment that promotes isolation, toxic thoughts about others and themselves, unreasonable expectations of others, fear of potential public recourse since everything is recorded and shared, and many more. It’s not a simple topic. However, I think some or all of these examples consciously or unconsciously play a role in dating and lower birth rates.

How's it not a SPA, if you're updating the DOM in JS without a full page reload?

Sorry, I read a load of stuff about React, before I came to any explanation of HTMX. Turns out, it's loading fragments of HTML into the DOM (without reload), instead of loading fragments of JSON, converting them to HTML fragments client-side, and injecting the resulting HTML into the DOM (without reload).

So I stopped reading there; perhaps the author explained why HTMX solves this at the end (consistent with the general upside-down-ness), but the "is the future" title was also offputting, so excuse me if I should have read the whole article before commenting.

I never bought into the SPA thing. SPAs destroy the relationship between URLs and the World Wide Web.
I find them hit-or-miss. It's important to keep an open mind.
The hamburger icon is certainly miles better than the harder to see three-dot one Chrome uses. Not sure why they ever decided that this was a better choice.
(1) One of my points is that trust is perception, not reality. I don’t care that people are increasingly distrustful of “media” because that term is both polymorphic and loaded. We currently have some of the best media available in the history of the world. Just because many other outlets are low quality or conflate facts with opinion doesn’t disprove my previous sentence.

(2) The more you use the word “agenda”, the more you sound like you have political motives as opposed to curious + minimally biased. If your goal is to spread factual information, use the language of facts. If it is to be political, then continue using the language of politics / those who spread conspiranoia.

It works out of the box on SPAs too. It doesn't require reimplementation by said bad developer.
I somewhat get where htmx is coming from. It's not bad per-say.. I actually like the general idea behind it (it's sorta like Turbolinks, but a bit more optimal using fragments instead of the entire page, though Turbolinks requires zero additional work on the markup side and works with JavaScript disabled out of the box).

With that being said, I imagine it would become unmaintainable very quickly. The problems htmx is solving are better solved with other solutions in my opinion, but I do think there's something that can be learned or leveraged with the way htmx goes about the solution.
Lately I bought a VHS deck for about $15. I can buy tapes for 50 cents so I can overlook the quality gap with DVD, Blu-Ray, streaming and such. Turns out Hi-Fi VHS has very good sound quality.

So far as obsolete formats go, quality gear and content are cheap and easy to find on VHS. (I never see a compact cassette deck with a single transport at the place i get my VHS tapes at and if i did find a good deck it would probably need a lot of work. Sometimes somebody there sees a record player and yells excitedly “It’s a Crosley!” and I just roll my eyes.)

We should expand energy production where there is extra demand for energy. That new energy should likely be nuclear. To pass judgement on what the energy use should be is ridiculous, and very counter to the behavior of this country that let it grow.

We post updates on our blog or Twitter account from time to time. There isn't an explicit, public roadmap of "On this date, we will open in < CITY >", but we have announced LA [1] as our next city for Waymo One (the name of the ride hailing service):

> Los Angeles will be Waymo’s next ride-hailing city, joining Phoenix and San Francisco as we expand to more locations.

Beyond the official service, we also do testing in multiple locations. For example, we announced that returning to Austin for testing [2]. In that post, we mention other weather testing we've done in Miami, NYC, and Bellevue, WA.

Beyond ride hailing, we have separate testing for Waymo Via with our Class 8 trucks, that you might see in Arizona or Texas.

This is what I do.

The physical copy exists to be a conversation piece on a shelf, to loan out, talk to friends about, not mind losing to a family member who's visiting, etc.

The digital copy exists to mark up, index, search, highlight, learn from, etc. If it's not on LibGen I'll buy it on Kobo and strip it in to my library using Obok DeDRM and an old ePaper reader I wouldn't want to use otherwise, and then buy a physical copy of it's something I'd want to share.

So often the books I loan out are "clean" and don't even have a wrinkle in the spine but sometimes I'll go through and dog-ear important passages or pencil-line particular parts. I've had friends assume I hadn't actually read the book until we pull out koreader and go over my highlights.
