Presenteeism or Working While Sick : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presenteeism

I once worked at a place where the Boss would kill you (figuratively) if you came into work sick.

The cost of having reduced mental acuity, and the possibility of being infectious, were considered far too great to chance.

We also were supplied with open Taxi vouchers, with the explicit instruction that if you had been drinking, you were not to drive.
That and Tesla is insanely profitable and not running out of resources any time soon. The opposite actually. I don't really care about any arbitrary timelines here. Because they don't have any real dead line other than "Elon Time" which is probably is a bit of a blessing in disguise. By putting on pressure to deliver quickly, he actually gets results. And some of those results in other areas have lead to his companies being very profitable and unlocking multiple multi billion dollar markets. As long has he believes self driving can be done and is well funded, he'll continue to pursue this thing. Rapid iterations and quickly adapting to challenges and set backs is a good strategy here.

I think there are two misconceptions in this space:

1) People mostly only talk about US companies and self driving cars in the US. China actually has a lot of self driving cars as well. Mostly following strategies similar to Waymo and with some borrowing from Tesla. And China is nowhere near as burdened by trigger happy lawyers slowing everything down. It's an ideal test ground for self driving from a legal point of view. And they are well funded. And they are running circles around most of the US in terms of car manufacturing. In general, the rest of the world will need to be covered by self driving eventually. Forget Phoenix; that's easy and rather boring. Can self driving cars manage in Italy, Spain, or conquer the German autobahn? I'm not pessimistic. But it won't be next year.

2) Painting this as a black and white game. All or nothing. Waymo is leading the way here by focusing on where it can work and gradually expanding their abilities. They are not even trying to make it work everywhere; just where they need it to work to make money. It's expanding it's area of operation and as it does the area it operates in adapts to self driving cars rather than the other way around. And it undeniably moves people from A to B at this point, seemingly without major incidents. The one thing that makes self driving cars hard is having human drivers around. Easy solution: get them out of the equation. This technology is basically going to be safety statistics and cost driven. As it gets better (i.e. safer and cheaper), it gets easier to optimize roads for self driving and the problem as a whole gets easier to deal with. Meanwhile there are big market opportunities in personal transport, freight, containers, etc. where self driving makes a lot of sense. Those are already happening.

My prediction is that Tesla will do well where companies like Waymo do well in as well and that they will meet in the middle sooner rather than later. And being positioned as a safety feature, all Tesla needs to keep on doing is failing to cause a lot of fatalities and gradually keep on improving. The rest is just raw numbers. As soon as there are millions of cars driving semi autonomously most of the time failing to cause a lot of trouble, confidence increases and it gets harder to argue there is a problem. Eventually, people will let go of their steering wheels. Insurance companies and cost will incentivize them. Based on the numbers.

I don't have to imagine this. My brain is doing sensor fusion every moment of every day. A lot of the time that involves conflicting data, and your brain has to decide on the most reasonable interpretation. When it's not at its best you get things like optical illusions, nausea, etc.

It's a hard problem to solve, but that doesn't mean it's a bad idea. I think most people would agree that human beings are better off with the overlapping set of sensors that are available to us compared to the alternative.

Wasn’t the goal not to prevent infection, but instead to reduce the spread of the disease? If I remember correctly hospitals were overburdened at the time.

Also no I (personally) have not seen anyone have any sores or issues with wearing a mask, medical professionals, students, or otherwise.
>At the beginning it was "don't hog masks"

As gfodor said, this is an utter lie. The Powers that Be explicitly told us that masks did not help against COVID-19, then completely reversed itself and told us that everyone should wear masks while claiming either a) "We never said masks did not help against COVID-19", or b) "We said 'masks don't help' to avoid a shortage for medical personnel". Now, as geekybear and the_third_wave said, it seems like TPTB was right at the start, albeit for completely the wrong reason, but that doesn't take away the seriousness of the initial lie that led to more.

Just before COVID-19 became widespread in the US, I discussed with my dentist brother the advice media was giving about how masks wouldn't help. Hearing his skepticism about said advice was my first clue about how the media was being used to spread falsities about the epidemic.
Don't forget Gracenote, who was founded on this very principle.

It just keep happening and happening, too. https://thetvdb.com/ is the latest one I've seen. User generated content, open API (with request throttling to prevent abuse) for years and now some media company swoops in, buys it and goodbye free API! It's spitting in the face of their entire community and really infuriating.

Humans also use sound as in tires squealing, something going "thump, thump, thump", someone screaming, horns, sirens, "crash, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle", etc.

Humans also use their sense of motion from the car sliding, rocking, tilting, jerking, etc.

Then humans integrate all such input, combine that with what they know about how cars work, traffic, people, the road, diagnose what has happened, apply years of prudent judgment, and then decide what to do.

E.g., maybe they have an ice chest with 20 pounds of ice which has melted and now, due to the motion of the car, has tilted, spilled, and is about to get the dog soaked with ice water. Good luck with the self-driving with a good response to such a scenario.
Nonsense, we can emulate any sort of analog process with binary transistors. If you prefer using an analog computer, fine, it’s an interesting area, but I’m not better on analog neural network computers catching up to digital.
The main justifiable complaint by junior doctors is that of being over-worked. Unfortunately the OP and the link above suggest that this is a problem partly self-inflicted by the profession itself.

There isn't a great risk of emigration by UK-trained doctors, as evidenced by an over-subscription for training places. Further, OECD data show that when adjusted to average national salaries, the pay scales for clinicians in the UK are competitive with the main destinations, including Australia, Canada and NZ [0].

A large part of the solution would appear to be increasing undergraduate medical education and further professional training slots. This would need increased government funding as well as agreement from professional bodies.

Remember what is discussed in this thread. I would assume that food poisoning incidents are on another level from a few lost work hours.

But in a sense I'm sure you're right. What they fear is that if they lose control employees will go berserk with their newfound power and cost them a fortune in labour costs. It's just not a rational trade-off calculation, because then things like food poisoning and contagion would weigh much heavier than they do. Rather it's a game consideration that we mustn't appear weak here. They fear things that could be gamed because it's that sort of game to them already.
Leap seconds are completely arbitrary by committee, aren't they? I'm curious how there could be a technical dependency.

True, we’re going ice skating with him regularly, and it’s a great source of lessons. Doesn’t help very much with math, though :)
How do you think then? I have two modes:
1. Conscious thinking with words, when I am actively trying to think about something, when I'm trying to solve a problem.
2. And unconscious thinking where I don't actively think about the problem and do something else, but after a while I come to some conclusion.

But when I am trying to actively think of something I know no other way than to think in words. I am not a visual thinker (I'm kind of aphantasic, when you ask me to think about a horse, only an idea pops up in my head without any specific image and I have to try really hard and describe the horse with words to make some kind of misty parts of the horse).
This does not match my experience of AI thus far produced. It would be interesting to see how experience of AI differs based on previous writing training and ability.

This is akin to saying that all media outlets from certain countries, share geopolitical concerns with the governments of such countries, which is obviously nonsense.
Unsure of your sources on "round holes" being indicative of torpedo "hit". Most modern torpedoes rely on implosive forces rather than terrestrial impact holes you might be thinking of from solid material striking a target. Pressure and density play a role. The holes referenced are more likely the remnants of the salvage attempts by the contracted company which assisted in the recovery. The Wikipedia article is fairly clear on the presence of holes cut during salvage. [0]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_submarine_disaster?wprov...
While the Russian Government is not well known, based on what we are told, for transparency it is not necessarily indicidave of a "conspiracy", if a cover up was attempted its more likely to save face due to the incompetence and lack of operational and functional rescue systems, four failed attempts to retrieve any remaining survivors before the final fatal fire which depleted the remaining oxygen the crew had. It is a bleak outcome and many other countries where aware of what occurred, based on sonar and seismic data etc. These countries were ready to deploy rescue efforts which were initially refused.

I for one would really prefer more tech content. On certain days I barely see any interesting one, and while the discussion on non-tech topics can at times still be interesting, it is often prone to the typical ego-disease of IT people (I’m also guilty of that), who overestimate their knowledge on foreign topics.

I still think that a tagging system would greatly benefit the site.
Well, it’s cheaper to retrofit a $500 LiDAR than it is to refund a $10,000 option. I’m curious how they handled upgrades to the more powerful computer they released. And we can expect they will release another more powerful computer again. The same issues would apply, but they have no choice but to deal with it if they ever want to ship a fully functional system.

Like most people, I have something I call an inner voice. I can "hear" ideas in a monologue or sometimes dialogue conversation in my head, such as the words I’m typing now or when preparing to speak. I don’t believe I’d be able to think abstractly to nearly the degree I am capable of if I wasn’t granted the gift of language by my society, but it is an interesting thought. I’m sure there are mountains of development psychology and linguistic anthropology research on this question. Perhaps we have lost certain abstract reasoning or perception powers that our prehistoric ancestors took for granted, due to language.
It contaminates not just proxy metrics but the underlying work that metrics are supposed to judge, if you use AI to help with you actual work this work is contaminated with AI's premise the same way as the document used as the example in TFA.
Well in that case, I'm sure I can depend on some anonymous friendly neighborhood vandals to deal with these crimes against taste and art.

The thing with graffiti is it is not protected, if someone makes an awful piece someone can just go paint over it unlike this tasteless man that is forcing his bad taste upon the world with no way to "respond".
I took Andrew Ng’s famous Coursera ML course and I still find this stuff extremely fascinating and as close to magic as you can get (in the digital realm).

I agree that a higher degree of understanding lessens the emotional impact but often you just need to pause for a second, look back and appreciate what we’ve accomplished as a species.

Sometimes I get on a plane and mid flight I realize “wait a second, I’m in a metal box flying in the sky at 800 km/h and I can breathe, eat, drink and watch tv” and I get goosebumps, even though I’m kind of familiar with the physics of it.

Maybe some things just have an inherent “awe factor” and no matter how well you understand them you still get those butterflies. Or maybe I’m just blabbering :)

Show HN: A simple, real-time blockchain indexer
We have built a better & faster alternative to thegraph.
- We are 100% in sync with blockchain, never behind. With a sub-second latency.
- It takes just one click to sync contracts to your local database. No complicated requirements of indexers and curators.
- You can sync the data to your SQL database and then run queries on it.
- Or create your own APIs on top of the data.
- We are also extremely cost effective. We typically cost 100x less than the graph.

I'd love to get some feedback about the product. Here is a quick platform demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ3L_5sC4BA
A side effect of free beer and the effect of early FOSS and Web days.

It turns out paying employees and business infrastructure requires money in a capitalist society.

Free only works when someone else is paying, until they don't.
Devil is in the details of phrasing, right? Two perfectly pleasant sounding letters can mean different things, from "this person is probably not a completely lost cause but please help get them out of my hair" to "this person is actually super great at their work".
To be honest, I only know Telnet as the tool I used to play MUD games like Castle Arcanum.
They are not suppose to strike. They WILLINGLY signed their employment contract to work and get paid. Now halfway thru, they feel they not getting a better deal (remember the strike is purely on not getting better deal and has nothing to do with sweatshop conditions - no one pointing gun at them). So workers really renegate on their employment contract and holding everyone hostage to renegotiate a better employment contract. What union suppose to do is make sure employment contracts are fair, no anticompete clause, salary being paid on time, insurance coverage, and workers continued education. Instead everything hinges on more pay (so can enrich union fee) because excuse of now it is not a living wage. Those workers can go learn coding and immediately getting 50% salary increase. They can go get a plumber certification and get better pay. They didnt. They being lazy and just assume doing the same thing today automatic given increments. They are the people who is ok Apple reselling and rebranding old iPhone with higher price but just the same locking others out with their propietary app store garden and lightning cable). In Chicago for example, if you are non-Union cable installer able to do the job cheaper and faster, union workers can force you to strip all those cables because simply you are non union even if unionized workers did a bad job of it. That is union. I was once pro union. After I ditched that mentality, moving from blue worker class and now in those 1-2% class through education. It really open my eyes MAJORITY of unionized workers are simply lazy. Some are hard working and do get oppressed, but even within Union they will oppress these people as it is bad for union business/growth. In coming years Asians with AI going to burn away a lot of American jobs. Unions just expedite that. I moved to Asia side to ensure my wealth and my descendants are better taken care of. America is so screwed these days.

No, I'm saying that you need to be aware of any and all propaganda.

There's a meme out there that shows North Koreans being force fed propaganda. Meanwhile, Americans voluntarily ingest propaganda.

It's not far off from the truth.

In order to get a balanced view, readers of FT.com should also read more pro/neutral-China news sources.
It is self-evident that you only need vision to drive. The question is whether you can make a computer smart enough to leverage vision to do it.

I guess the difference is that in the US you can just fire someone if you suspect them of breaking your trust, whereas in France you would need a long process and paper trail with medium confidence of actually being able to go through.
> I think GPUs would have a fine time with it.

Yes, sure and for office work 165 HZ would be overkill anyway, 60 Hz works already OK enough and much more than 90 Hz would be a waste.

But, the post describes that they choose 165 HZ with gaming in mind, and IIRC the 16" Framework will have a slot for a switchable GPUs, and so I think it will be used for gaming too.
I learned this hard way (ok not hard way, I had balance of 2 USD at that time) when Revolut locked me out. They simply stopped releasing new version of their app for Android version I had. Day by day I lost access to my money.

I simply got error that I can't log in and I should update an app but there was not any update.

Took me two days to get to their support (I don't know how it is now, but at that time all ways was directing me to use support option in app which was not functioning). And support told me if I want to get my 2 USD I should buy a new phone.

2 USD is nothing to continue the fight but I've understood I don't want to give any money to such operator. I am not Revolut user for more than 6 years now.
Thank you for sharing Melanie's perspective, it's clear she holds deep respect for her parent. It can be more complex from that perspective, let's indeed leave it at that side then.

In public discussions it's generally best to use Danielle Berry, the name she chose. This respects her identity, provides accurate historical context, and importantly, offers a role model for those exploring their own gender identity.

It also fosters 'trans literacy' - understanding and respect for trans identities. As a fan of both Wendy Carlos and Danielle Berry since childhood, I've not only had the chance to enjoy their boundless creativity but I also learned so much in addition to that.

Shouldn't she / we all have our individual rights respected on these matters - the power over how to define one's own identity, both in life and how we are remembered after death?

As a fellow fan, I try to respect her autonomy and honour her legacy by using her chosen name: Danielle (Bunten) Berry.
Isn't Hacker News social media though?
That frequency is bang-smack in the middle of the range used by prenatal ultrasound. The UK NHS released a statement discouraging the use of "4d" ultrasonics to make pre-birth videos. This sort of result highlights why this was a good call, if only based on the precautionary principle.

On the flipside, the reason for these recommendations were papers about the effects of ultrasound on tissues, for example (taken at random):

"Basta et al. [46] observed that in single-layer endothelial cells, ultrasound of variable durations between 1.3 MHz and 2.6 MHz with a mechanical index of 1.5 produced increased intracellular oxidation of endothelial cells in addition to endothelial damage under exposure times greater than 30s. This damage lasted up to one hour after exposure. After 15s, it was shown to stagger the DNA and produce leakage of lactate dehydrogenase."
I think the focus on particular technologies is wrong. Better to focus on a sector and become a master of that sector than of a particular technology.

If I could go back 20 years I would stop myself from jumping between jobs while staying inside a tech stack. Instead I would tell myself to jump between jobs inside a specific sector, regardless of the tech stack.

I’ve reached that stage now, where I’m focusing much more on domain knowledge and don’t care so much about the languages used. Languages are easy, but in some sectors domain knowledge and the ability to write code can be hard to come by.

Being this sort of developer, your value rises the longer you’re in that sector. The more in-depth your domain knowledge, coupled with the ability to translate that into solutions and code, becomes incredibly valuable.

By sectors, I mean: fintech, healthcare, security, etc. Not startups.
