This was a direct refutation of your statement, because you did not even do a search before describing the state of the political landscape. I stand by the point I made.
Very interesting question. Certainly I’ve never heard them discuss this in any of the AI system lectures. It’s always stated as “we know humans can drive using only our eyes so we have an existence proof”.

Plus, a human could drive in a variety of conditions but there’s just so many possible scenarios the car could encounter, and humans crash too, so the real question is what is the relative performance between a human and the machine across thousands of potential or actual crashes. Kinda hard to measure.

Many (most?) "big content" sites let Google and Bing spiders scrape the contents of articles so when people search for terms in the article they'll find a hit and then get referred to the pay wall.

Google doesn't want everyone to know what a Google indexing request looks like for fear the CEO mafia will institute shenanigans. And the content providers (NYT, WaPo, etc.) don't want people to know 'cause they don't want people evading their paywall.

Or maybe they're okay with letting the archive index their content...
My doubt too. I understand what's happening but not why. :(
My friend and I often talk about the analogous situations between police officers and teachers in urban centers.

Both really hard jobs that suffer with retention and recruitment. Both fraught with union agreements that make it really difficult to fire bad actors.

But where the analogy breaks down is around funding vs performance & accountability. Poor crime stats are usually followed by a conversation around policies and lack of funds that hamper police activity, whereas poor test scores are usually followed by school closures, reduced salary negotiations, and state/federal oversight.

It’s interesting that educators always get the blame and providing more resources is met with some version of “we already spend more than X”. But police often get sympathy and no push back for more resources even though US LEO get more funding than any other country and spends a greater % of GDP than most countries. (even in the face of massive police reform protests over the past decade).

I hold the opinion that education produces greater positive network effects on society than incarceration does, so this disconnect is really mind-boggling.
Being prepared to seize on an opportunity and execute well is necessary, but not sufficient. There's still a whole lot of luck involved.

There are plenty of libraries: from low level hardware abstraction layers to high level libraries like you'd find in the Arduino ecosystem. Those closer to the former (the HALs) require more understanding thus more reading, the latter expose less of the power of the chip because they target the least common denominator.

However, when you're making a mass produced piece of hardware with a $10 BOM cost and it turns out that you can save even 25 cents by using 90% of the power of a cheap chip instead of 5% of the power of an expensive chip, you're going to have to dive down into the documentation to figure out how to get every last ounce of processing power out of the cheaper chip.

That usually means exploiting the unique configuration of peripherals on a chip which can't be cleanly abstracted away by a software library. My first few projects, for example, I had to work around silicon errata in the family of chips the projects had chosen: STM32F4s couldn't run both DMA channels simultaneously at max speed when outputting to different peripherals. I wouldn't have been able to figure out what's going wrong at any level of abstraction without reading the documentation.

That's why I'm now in frontend instead of embedded.

Copyright law is a restriction on freedom (the freedom to make copies, derivative works, etc), and causes enormous financial costs. The justification given for copyright law is that it will, in essence, promote the arts.

No extra TV shows are going to get made because there is a chance that, 20 years down the line, the show is still making money. It's purely a financial gift to the large businesses that own old copyrights, at the expense of everyone else.

I've always found reference books a lot easier to get my head around than instructional textbooks. One of my favorite finds as a kid was a book about the Apple II that covered topics like the memory map and hardware registers, and my least favorite format was the 300-page book where you start with writing "Hello World" and twenty chapters in you're following instructions on how to schedule asynchronous messages or something. I don't think I've ever gotten past chapter three in a book like that, and I've had a reasonably successful, decades-long career in development.

Zero sympathy for the employers here, as it's either a) a sign all the work is being done at a price the company is willing to pay, and these people are just fine where they are, or b) it's a sign the company is poorly managed, which is obviously the fault of the managers.

Realistically, I think it's completely fine to have less-than-fully-worked employees available to cover issues as they crop up, work through projects when the extra effort is needed but otherwise just generally stay ready to go and in a relaxed/healthy state.

I wouldn't call these folks the highest achievers, but if they're okay with that, and it seems they are (at least temporarily), doesn't seem to be a problem to me.

IMO it's so much better than constantly hiring/firing to try and find that "exactly right" employee count.

Yes, except there's two waves of layoffs. The wave that is announced, like you mention, and the wave of smaller layoffs that does not have to be announced. This is to say, more people are being laid off than officially reported. This is true for Facebook and Amazon alike.

However, the hiring spree did increase salaries significantly.

Well they currently devote a lot of compute power to building a 3D occupancy map of the world from cameras so it’s possible that fusion with LiDAR could be done with less compute. Also their computers keep getting more powerful. But generally you’re correct, we don’t know how it would go.
It's not unreasonable, although in the case of SHA-3 (Keccak), it's recommended to use KMAC. It pads the key and adds a domain separation prefix. Unlike HMAC, there's no double hashing.

Show HN: Build a SQLite satabase from your Reddit data
With Reddit's upcoming API changes[0], I got nervous that I'd no longer be able to access the many posts and comments I've left there over the years.

Inspired by the Dogsheep projects[1], this CLI lets you immediately pull your most recent 1k comments & 1k posts (the max allowed by the paged API) into a nicely-structured SQLite database. It's perfect for loading into Datasette for nice viewing & full-text search of your content.

Taking it a step further, the project's killer feature is the ability to import data from GDPR archives. This allows you to store your full Reddit history (including deleted comments and posts on removed subreddits).

I hope you find this tool useful! I'll be around to answer questions and field comments (or feel free to open a GH issue).

I assume you're only talking about time onboard, not door-to-door time (where high-speed rail generally beats short-haul flights), so I won't dispute the time aspect.

But in order to calculate crew costs, you'd have to know crew density, and my impression is that crew/passengers is several times higher for planes than trains.

The proportion of sea level rise from melting ice is significantly increasing though.

> In the early 1990s, ice sheet melting accounted for only a small fraction (5.6 %) of sea-level rise. However, there has been a fivefold increase in melting since then, and they are now responsible for more than a quarter (25.6 %) of all sea-level rise.

It is a bit strange how much melting ice caps get attention more than the thermal expansion of water, but I expect that is because a melting ice cap is much more visceral and easily understood and explained than the thermal expansion of water.

"An enormous page full of switches and options, yet if you're a beginner it's basically useless."

Maybe 30 years ago you could learn through manpages but today that's how all the man pages of all the useful commands look. If you think grep is nice it would be the exception; for me it is indeed short, simple and easily searchable, but too terse for a beginner to learn with easily. (Plus even the regex documentation only documents grep mode, not egrep or pgrep or anything else.) Very useful in its own way, but most man pages are useless for learning.

I am disappointed at how few man pages take the opportunity to have a useful selection of "the 10 most popular things to do with this command" but web search has filled in reasonably decently. You do still have to understand the basics of how shell works, though, because most of them aren't quite what you want today and honestly a fair number of them aren't even what the poster thought they were. I am also in the habit of making sure that I understand every command line switch before I copy & paste a command off the internet, again, because many of them aren't what you need today. I don't always mean in a malicious manner, but things like either do or do not follow HTTP redirects in curl may or may not matter to you today, but the poster may be in the habit of setting it one way or another for no reason relevant to you.

Anecdote:
I used to suffer from very bad reflux in my early 20's. I tried all sorts of things. Today I no longer suffer from reflux at all.

The following either didn't work, or only reduced the severity of my reflux:

- Medicines were helpful but not an outright fix.

- Dietary changes did not help at all.

- Sleeping upright helped but only so much. And my sleep quality was terrible.

- A medical device that applies light pressure to your Adam's apple. This actually helped a lot, but was not fun to sleep with.

The two things that I think actually got rid of my reflux for good are:

- Intermittent fasting

- Vomitting cat exercise
Clever & sensible.

One potential concern with this would be the possibility of 'upper airway obstruction(s)' (aka, choking). Not necessarily because this position is inherently problematic*, but because it would be a novel position to consume food** in (to presumably most people) and it's a position that most people are likely not used to in the present day, period (i.e., we usually sit up, lie flat, etc., we aren't typically in orientations like this for any real length of time, if at all).

Seems like a clever way to exercise an area that is not easy to exercise in any typical way, but I'd strongly advise caution and awareness of potential aspiration / choking issues if trying it out, at least in initial trials.

* In any anatomical way I can think of off the top of my head

** I would avoid trying to consume liquids in this position, at least initially - aspiration is far easier with thin liquids etc. The author seems to focus on food, in any case.

Because we don’t have to. Our stance is that we don’t want our privacy infringed. It doesn’t matter if they used the cameras for bad things, people like me argue the mere possibility is unethical. What do gun owners want to own guns even though lots of people die from accidents, and banning guns would prevent that? Because they like the ability to not be impeded in their sport or defense.

Why even have any constraints on law enforcement if they’re so trustworthy? Just let them do anything to catch criminals and trust they don’t take it too far. There are rules for a reason here, it’s to preserve ideals that society holds as a group.
At that point global economy will collapse. Even Europe or US would be poor.

We all need sustainable energy, and fossil fuel is not going to do it because

1. it is a increasingly limited resources, with geopolitical implications that will only increase in intensity as the quantity will decrease and price will increase.

2. it makes the climate issues only worse.

Either one or both would bring chaos globally. We very seriously need to rely on other source of energy.

I think we are disagreeing about how they should work. I understand that they currently don’t do this. My point is that they should be doing it. It costs the news agencies 5 seconds of their time. But it saved the readers and independent fact-checkers many multiples of that.
Their attempts to break into the mobile industry without using these patterns and basically getting their ass handed to them.

For years I've had "node based CAD" on my ideas list. I imagined something like Blender's shader nodes, but this is even better.
I would have liked to see it compared to MobileOne https://github.com/apple/ml-mobileone, which appears to run faster on an IPhone 12 Pro for comparable accuracy than VanillaNet does on an A100 server-class GPU.

It would also be great if there were pretrained mobiles available that better match typical mobile scenarios, e.g, comparable in complexity to Mobilenet2 0.5.
