Is your argument that SpaceX is a failure?

Wow the slant in this entire thread. When did HN become such a fervent Elon hate machine. Honestly curious, is most of this from his actions at Twitter?
Because it's irrelevant to the point I'm making in the piece. Like I wrote, lack of infrastructure can be fixed with funding. The other issues can't.
but having your parents pay for your education is hardly a rare circumstance.

Having your father pay for Wharton Business School isn't the same thing as having your father pay for the College of New Jersey.
Right yea that solution would be many years out and doesn't work for JSX. As opposed to compiling to JS/JSDoc which could be done today and should solve our problems with stepping into NPM package code without dead ends.
Successful stories are seldom revolutionary. What matters is, if it is well done. And Zelda was very well done all around. Graphic, music, sound, characters and yet unique enough, to create that franchise.

(I only played the gameboy version ages ago, but I still remember the atmosphere).
I'm more than a little curious on this one. How did you lose money in a 529? Are you saying you lost opportunity cost of having put that money somewhere else?
> what, to you, would qualify as being sufficiently new that it doesn’t have?

I don't understand the question, like what's a game play mechanic that it doesn't have?
> you disagree that a car that's more reparable is more easily stolen?

Yes,I do.

> imagine a car with screws on the door to be swapped, and another car without them. you don't think the car with the screws would be easier to steal?

I imagined that. Every car door I have ever interacted with had the screws on the hinges such that you could only access them with the door open. You could swap all of them. This is not a particularly good example you choose I am afraid.

You can design cars which are hard to repair and easy to steal, or one which is easy to repair and hard to steal.

Thing is nobody is asking Kia to do something unprecedented. All people are asking to be about as safe from stealing as cars from other manufacturers are.
I, for one, believe that Twitter is better now than it was before. But I'm a free speech proponent, and very not in favour of a previous approach of banning and muffling anyone who fell out of party line.

I think the stance on this issue greatly influences how one perceives changes at twitter.
IIRC the claim is that Musk’s dad’s share was worth 50 grand USD when he bought it. There are individual emeralds worth that much. It likely wasn’t much of a mine if it did exist. A tiny artisanal mine.
Yeah, every normal US people is paying 10x for the basic medical treatment compared to other developed countries in order to fund this treatment for the super rich.
By all metrics the blue revenue are much smaller than the drop in advertising dollar they experienced.

You live in an echo chamber if you think advertising has returned to the same level, it’s been well reported through various sources.

Anyway it’s all private so we can only argue against imaginary number. If you think that Elon is getting rich from this 44 billion purchase, only time will tell.
What are the realities, that the ownership wants more money?
Can’t you say the same about anyone who grows up upper middle class or above in the US? Paying for kids’ college is pretty standard. Many middle class families do it too.

There’s plenty to criticize Elon about, but this one’s a bit of a reach.

As someone who had to wait five years for a baby and we only just barely got one thanks to IVF: someone please make an artificial womb facility. It would bring nothing but joy.

That video is fantastic. I hope it comes.

Oh jeez, I see why people were upset. The video makes a stupid moral argument about genetic engineering. Maybe that will be an issue someday, but the tech isn’t there; we just want babies.

The biggest complaint I've seen hasn't been that it's too much power in one person's hands, it's that he's just been fucking around with the service and annoying people.
Why the video game industry is making a big mistake by ignoring older adults
If it is a yes/no-question maybe.

On a related note: I just started blocking youtube channels that have titles like: "Why you are doing $X wrong". There are so many interesting questionsnout there. And of those interesting questions a good fraction can be answered in really interesting ways.

Yet people tend to fall for stupid questions with obvious answers. As a film maker myself I dislike creators who treat their viewers with contempt or don't reflect on/care about their own impact on a media ecosystem as a whole.
Too little too late. I left Twitter a few days ago after I saw some users complaining about animal torture videos showing up in their feeds and search suggestions, and this was on the heels of the footage of the shooting in Texas making the rounds.

It’s a completely unsurprising thing to see when you actively court channers after kneecapping content moderation.
The thing is he really could have done it. But he went "rich person crazy" and lost it all instead. Really sad to see. Marc Andreessen said something like "

I worked for Toyota Infotechnology Center in Sunnyvale in 2016/2017 on a robotics research project involving their HSR robot running ROS.

The robot had odometry from the wheels, though it was a bit noisy due to the construction of the omnidirectional mechanism. They decided to ignore wheel odometry and use only an odometry module based on the planar lidar, essentially visual odometry. This worked fine in most circumstances, but basically completely failed in hallways as they lacked distinctive features. This interfered with my work which involved the robot navigating around the office.

I had worked on this problem before, and ROS has an excellent sensor fusion library for dealing with multiple noisy sensor readings. You just need to combine wheel odometry and laser odometry with a kalmann filter, and the sensor fusion library makes this relatively easy.

However even though I worked at a Toyota office with full time Toyota employees, and the code was pretty much off the shelf ROS code, and the robots were produced in very low volumes and only in use at Toyota, they wouldn't give me the source code. I think maybe they wouldn't even give me root access.

Still, I was able to control the names of ROS topics using the ROS launch files (it has been a while since I worked with ROS and I forget some of the terms). I remapped the lidar odometry topic to an intermediary topic name instead of /odom, then directed the intermediary topic in to the sensor fusion module along with the wheel odometry, then mapped the sensor fusion output to /odom. The system got odometry information but now it did not come from the lidar odometry but from the sensor fusion module, so it was happy.

The fix worked great. It had normal behavior when lidar was good, and had reliable odometry in long hallways. I was finally able to implement my office navigation code.

I did my best to communicate these changes back to Toyota. They had not been very helpful when I was asking for help solving the issue, but I had hoped that since I had it working they would appreciate this. I asked where I could file a git issue or otherwise push the code to some private git repo.

They were not using git. Ultimately I was instructed to email the raw code files I had used along with instructions for how to integrate it. I found this quite surprising. I have no idea if they ever implemented the changes I suggested, but I kind of doubt it. From what I have heard of japanese software practices, they basically do not accept code suggestions from the bottom up.

I know of some people who worked for Toyota Research Institute who said they were trying to get the Toyota folks to integrate silicon valley coding rigor in to their systems. Maybe they had success, I don't know. But certainly 6 years ago things were a total mess.
Twitter recently implemented a change to prioritize replies from Twitter Blue subscribers over all others, so the replies you're seeing first are all people who paid for Twitter. That means they're either people who support Elon, or people for whom Twitter is a significant part of their job, either way they're likely to be terminally online and probably insufferable. The top replies to any prominent account tend to be awful these days.
Ah, yes, and there's the hat trick.

$16 Billion in fees (so far!) means you and I, regular people, will be paying to bail out SVB, it's bad decisions, and it's account holder's bad decisions. Wonderful.

Somehow we convinced a significant portion of the country that tax payers won't be responsible for these unprecedented bailouts. Yet, here we are.
As someone who uses mostly to keep up with the progress of AI, the recommended tweets are actually good for a change.
AI makes me (as a teacher) 3x more productive.

It gives my students a personal tutor, 24/7.

That is a good thing.

Unfortunately we can not believe anything we see or hear, but I have not trusted any of that since 1994.
Man, Netflix is really going down hill. I get that the entire landscape has changed but they dont seem to be innovating. Why not try to give small budgets to UCLA students or something like that. Prefect the dubbing of all their content to make it more appealing in other markets. Have some conviction in their shows on a longer timeline and stop cancelling things after 1-2 seasons effectively making the IP worthless. They can improve their search so people have a better experience finding content and don't churn. License their own content to othet studios.

They can definitely keep making money, but in my exoerience Netflix has not been #1 or even #2 when I go to watch media now. Which is a big change from a few years ago. I dont pay for it myself or I would have cancelled.

Car inflation, specifically. This is the same as saying that car prices have gone up.
Under-engineering is not the same thing as YAGNI.

I worked at a place where the former employee had engineered his whole S3 to files synchroniztion layer. We never needed that. That's YAGNI. (And if we did, the library already has it!)

Choosing crappy overly-simple ideas for abstraction is not what YAGNI is all about. It's about pulling in overhead+complexity when it's justified, and only then.

Ask HN: I have many gaps between jobs: should I quit being a software engineer?
I graduated after 2008 from a good undergrad program. My work history since then has a lot of gaps in employment. The longest I have been at a job has been just under 2 years. Most of the time, I waited over a year in between jobs except for one time where I was recruited to the next job via a referral from a colleague. I’ve really tried to look inside myself to see what went wrong in the jobs that didn’t work out.

One thing that I should say is that I have depression: I take medication and see a doctor, and I was first diagnosed after my first full-time job.

Apart from one company that genuinely laid off many people in quick succession including myself, the other companies where I worked all fired me many months after I had been working there.

On three of the occasions, the manager who originally hired me had moved onto a different team/got promoted/was reorganized into having less input (matrix management). In each of these cases, my new manager was promoted from within my team and it was always their first time managing a team: they always had very good technical knowledge and skills, and I would always feel like I am getting on well with them and making progress on my goals. However, I feel as though they effectively under-communicated what they really wanted from me, and I simply took them at literally at their word.

In any case, I am only giving my side of the story (I don’t know their side). I read posts about résumés and how having too many short stints in too short of a timeframe is problematic. I am such a person. What do I do?

I do genuinely enjoy writing code when I know what is being asked of me and when I know that it will help the end-user(s). However, it has been over a year since my last job once again, and I feel as if this time is possibly a death knell of sorts.

I really thought about posting this message on my normal HN account and linking my personal résumé, but I was too afraid of appearing to disparage any of my previous employers.

What should I do?

Ruby 3.3.0-Preview1 Released
Twitter isn't doomed. But rumors are that it is even more of a money pit than before, now that numerous advertisers have left the platform or reduced their spending.

The hiring of a mass media ad-exec seems to support the validity of those rumors.
I think people tend to miss an important aspect of this conversation:

Cars as a whole are massively much more reliable for a lot longer than they used to, making used cars way more viable for most people.

Even the traditionally less-reliable brands are not exploding at 70k miles like they did 15 or 20 years ago.
Up until relatively recently Barcelona often played without a sponsor on their shirts, however, Financial Fair play rules mean club's spending limits are based on their revenues - so clubs are incentivised to increase their revenues as much as possible to ensure they can maximise their spending on player salaries and transfer fees.
The topics that are not new to me and are of interest come up after its training-dataset-cutoff, thus it can produce bogus information.

I think ChatGPT and the likes should be thought of as cartographers who when probed can provide an outline of regions of the knowledge space and give hints as to what could be useful.

Given then a high level but also imprecise map, I can ask the GPS for clarity as to where I am going.

The problem is that I often don't know where that is and thus I don't know what to ask from the GPS, but I can describe it to the cartographer, and they can draw a map for me.

In this analogy, the GPS is search engines / books / papers.
Can you offer any examples? In modern times I'd appeal to something like the lies surrounding the death of Officer Sicknick [1] as an example of exactly what you are describing. The entire story that he was murdered, let alone in the precise and brutal fashion described, could have been trivially falsified by any journalist doing the most basic things every journalist does: speak to the family, call the coroner, look at police records, and so on endlessly. Seemingly none did, which rather blunts Hanlon's razor.

That razor goes from blunted to decimated once one also looks to the media response once those lies were definitively revealed. Instead of seeking explanation, and reckoning, over a death being exploited and politicized with the most cynical of lies, the media simply moved onto a new lie about the story (that he was killed by pepper spray) before ultimately just burying it. I'd contrast this against something like Iraq in that one could, at least plausibly, claim ignorance on part of the media. I'd also note that there was some serious push-back from the media once the lies were revealed, and also much less homogeny even in the interim.

Are you talking about different things?

Those all sound like things I've seen in lots of games, but not necessarily in Zelda games.
A sample of one is not a track record.
For me it's simply seeing that Nintendo is the only console manufacturer using nvidia hardware. A new version of the console, 2x more powerful, on Ampere/Lovelace hardware would be absolutely revolutionary for this console space. With it they could rely on DLSS2/3 to increase performance from 720p30 -> 1440p60.

They need oil changes. Some don't mind, but I do. It's a downside.

And even in a subgroup like trucks, try buying a basic stripped down pickup like you could 15-20 years ago. Just two doors and an 8 foot bed, a truck... they don't make them anymore. Instead you get one of these giant penis extensions they sell now and call trucks. I don't want 4 doors and leather, it doesn't need to be 8 feet off the ground, it doesn't need to the the size and weight of a semi... I just want a utility vehicle to haul crap between home depot, the dump, and my house. Even what used to be cheap, practical cars are now draped in "optional" bullshit you can't opt out of.

And now they want to gate features in my car behind yearly subscriptions, they can fuck right off. I'm not even tempted to buy new. I'm more likely to start buying older I don't want my car getting random software bugs and phoning home to turn of my heated seats.

Same here. And so far with TotK I've got the same feeling. My original zelda experience was a link to the past on the SNES though, so maybe I enjoy the "openness" aspect more? LttP lets you go around pretty much wherever from the beginning, while OoT is pretty linear, especially at the start.

For me Zelda was always more of a puzzle game than an adventure game, and I feel like those puzzle aspects are much more amplified in the last two entries, though in a much more "freeform" way.

Back when the Science Twitter was a thing:

Start by following people who do interesting stuff. Avoid the ones who post every day, because it doesn't scale. Once you are following a few hundred accounts, the frequent posters will drown out everyone else and the signal-to-noise ratio will be terrible.

Don't read the comments. Approximately 100% of them are garbage. Comments from the people you follow will appear in your feed anyway.

If the people you follow frequently retweet stuff from someone, consider following them. But only if you find their posts interesting and they don't post too often.

I guess this should still work, if the people you want to follow are still on Twitter.
Of course the problem there is that `tar` is outputting a single stream. You might, in similar situations, start multiple `tar` running on subsets of the input, which pipelines then become fully parallel again.

We make like 3-3.5x household median for our city and I can't imagine buying a new car. The prices are batshit crazy. In the late '00s budget cars existed at like $9k new and $20k would get you a pretty damn good vehicle. Now that barely gets you a pretty damn good seven-year-old, used vehicle.
