It almost strikes me something else is going on. Some kind of group mental illness.

I mean Ray Kurzweil's books were best sellers from what I remember 20 years ago. How could one spend their life working to make things in Kurzweil's books happen and then jump to the idea we are all going to die and it was a mistake when the smallest spark of real AI actually happens?

The audience for this is interesting too. It is like no one would want to read the Age of Spiritual Machines today because it is too positive and doesn't have enough doomer in it.

Immortality from AI has morphed into extinction from AI as what sells and captures the imagination.
You are correct. They do not use magnets but grids of stators. These grids of stators apply a good old fashioned electric field not a magnetic field. But the main difference remains, you still need two latge heavy things that take the sound signal and actually move the membrane.
I think this is what FM radio basically is, and def what SiriusXM is. It might also be why radio is less interesting to many than Android Auto or Carplay.
I mean.. they're clean right now.

Think about when they're GA. You're going to have all sorts of people, not just the invited few as it is right now(fellow techies and such, who mostly are not going to trash and destroy property).

The public transit is gross most of the time with trash, vandalism, and grimy seats. Do you really think people are going to treat cars well where they're all alone inside (when have cameras stopped some people from being vile?)?

IMO these AI car services should be priced at a premium above Uber/Lyft. I want individual door to door service any time, with a guarantee it will be clean and comfortable. Otherwise, I'm always opting for my own car.
Serious question: Is it actually necessary to cap the wells? If you leave the machinery sitting on top of the well unused - does it leak anything?

You should read more? We've already done railroad, long distance telephone and arguably the internet.
This one absolutely captivated my imagination and I saw it on first release. The notable part for me was that all the technology was absolutely based in reality, and appropriate to the 24-hours-in-the-future setting. David is a kid like me, with mad tech skills and a little bit too subversive/adventurous. My favorite scene was when he hacked the office door's cipher lock with a tape recorder and some alligator clips.

Technical consultants included those from SRI and RAND. Definitely in the know about the way things were, and where they were going.

My high school attendance was impeccable, but I was not allowed to use a modem until college. :-)

Yeah, you could always use a language model to handle the parsing. I think that is the state-of-art of crawling today, but you have to worry about proxies, and rendering pages.

> It Will Cost More Than Total Future Production to Clean Up California Oil Sites

Title is misleading. Please change title to original.

Article says the cost to cleanup will be greater than the profit. This is not the total value to the economy, it is the rent extracted by the miners.

Since we all benefit from petroleum fuels, maybe it's wiser to compare cleanup vs total value instead of profit.
Reading this, my meta conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theories are rarely false, it's just that talking about them at all disqualifies you from being invited to participate in them. Your option is either to be a practical conspirator by joining in, or remain on the outside as a just theorist.
I would argue that, yes, it is okay to expect your average person not to understand the law. Of course, it would be great if everyone understood everything (laws, in this case) but that's not feasible.

The FDIC being in place means the average consumer does not have to understand nor think about the economics of a bank, for example, that by depositing money into a bank you are a creditor to that bank.

That was just their reply to “is it even possible?”. Their argument is that vision actually works better than sensors. The signal processing data it receives is higher quality. You just have to know how to process it like the human brain does. It’s a harder solution, but if solved a better one

It's unfair to consider network effects when it comes to SVN because it was a very different time on the internet with no major centralized code hosting SaaS like GitHub.

Nowadays even companies (that would in the past self-host) rely on SaaS and are thus swayed by network effects of whatever is popular.
It's just crazy because you can get to driving great 99.99999% of the time very very quickly. The unceasing attention & ability to keep track of known unknowns is a huge superpower versus humans.

I've done it! A relative of mine had two Gallien-Krueger 250ML guitar amplifiers, which are an interesting bit of kit, but the 5" speakers had foam surrounds that rotted out. I ordered and installed generic replacements from Parts Express. For my part, I was just curious about how the amps would sound.

As for the Bose, they were nothing special as speakers, and I already had a stereo that I was happy with, so I disposed of them.
> Now a doctor's note seems to be a reasonable ask, but have you ever tried to get one?

Yes. Just needed one, and got it via a telemedicine visit (also got advised to take more time off than I would have if I didn’t have to get a doctor's note for how long I had already been off.) Whether this is an option depends, of course, on whether either your insurance or your primary care medical group offers telemedicine visits.

> Don't even think about a telemed alternative. They'll render their letter worthless with disclaimers, because the HCP didn't meet or examine you in any meaningful way.

I literally just did this (as described above), the note doesn’t have any disclaimers at all except that the return to work was contingent on both the specified time elapsing and symptoms being gone.

I think what you're describing for "something a racist would very likely say" is called a "Dogwhistle" and the reason it is hateful is that it's absolutely trying to set the bar for what they can get away with saying that's terrible without overstepping the line of what is going to get removed.

People understand the basic conceits of public politeness, so racists know they have to put in the smallest amount of work to let other people cover for them. These have not even really met that bar... But it's worth considering how much of this you would accept from say... known klan members?

Like, I get that if hate groups say it, it's not inherently hate speech, but at what point do you want to be defending hate groups? I don't feel like I need to get real in the weeds about how what the limit of shit I will put up with from KKK members is... And I think it's disingenuous to suggest we should really get deep in the weeds to iron out exactly how they can walk around the rules. We know who the rulebreakers are, and pretending like we don't until they say something truly egregious is like pretending leopards aren't gonna eat our faces.
> I don’t understand why anyone could think that it would be easy or fast.

Because progress went so quickly from "cars are entirely human operated" to "cars can nearly drive themselves", so it's assumed that progress will continue at that pace.

We've made this mistake time and time again before self driving cars and evidently continue to make that mistake now

People keep using their Necessary Captial Words to say what we have is balderdash. Another post guffawes that there isn't Operational Design Domain.

I agree that where we are is balderdash, and dishonest, unclear about itself in extreme & lacking. But I detest this My Paradigm Is Required phrasing. Say what you think please! Browbeating the topic with particular/spefific engineering dogmatisms is unhelpful, unclear: it leans on authority, while also not having assertable claims anyone else could contest. This kind of hollow criticism degrades.

One interesting application is to imagine you have a bunch of data in some proprietary binary format, with metadata in plain text.

This is saying you could potentially make a network that generates new instances of the proprietary format without having to know the details of that format.
I live in Northern Europe, and next to our community is a large lake that people like to swim in at all times of year. During the middle of summer the water can get up to maybe 25c, and during winter there is a 10cm+ layer of ice and it's full of fishermen. At that time people cut a hole in the ice where you can take a plunge or go for a quick swim.

I haven't tried it myself but people who do it regularly say that if you do it every day - say starting in the summer and continuing until winter - you don't notice the temperature dropping so much.

We also have the same rumours about health benefits, but I'm not sure what the science says. I'd guess if there are any, it's more from being somewhat active (locals usually walk to the lake) than the temperature. We also like to roll in the snow after sauna. Our life expectancy isn't any better than warmer climates.

Must be out of the loop. HW4, which is higher resolution cameras and Phoenix HD Radar, has been in S/X for months and started showing up in (at least Fremont) Model Y's with a build date around May 25th. Highland has nothing to do with this, and Model 3 sales are still doing fine, so they don't need to drop anything yet to boost model 3 demand.
Payload CMS for sure: https://payloadcms.com/

But be careful: once you tried it, you won't want to use anything else anymore.

Gives you both a REST API, as well as a GraphQL API automatically. Admin UI is written in React as well and is customizable, super clean & distraction-free. Everything is extendable with Typescript.

I, personally, went from WordPress => Strapi => Directus and have now settled with Payload, which I greatly prefer, as it's the only one which hasn't caused any roadblocks and lets me do whatever I want and need.
It'll suit your needs and most likely any needs which will come up in the future
Too heavy, solid brass.
NYC’s been pretty consistently expanding and updating it’s transit.

Airtram to JFK.

Redoing LaGuardia.
Tons of work to reduce the effects of flooding on the subway system.

Most of this has happened in my only 10 years here which seems fairly decent.

Wikipedia has more context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickler_file

I first heard about “tickler files” in the book Getting Things Done. Didn’t realize they went back so far.
There’s a large portion of the population in the US, mostly lower income, that commutes two hours a day. Solving self driving means giving those people that time back. That’s time that can be used to relax, take a nap, communicate with friends, etc. Self driving will be a boon for mental health.
And we can expect it to continue going that way for smaller companies, since the tax changes in the US wrt R&D means it's better to buy than build, all else being equal, due to the tax deduction not having to be spread over time.
If you want to avoid a host of problems later in life stop eating out.
This sounds nice, but I'm struggling to imagine how it will be effective in practice. Could you offer any elaboration?

> These changes undoubtedly reflect a more progressive view of regulation. Yet, they do not jettison cost-benefit analysis. Instead, they have a basis in recent academic research, and they appear to be designed with an eye toward helping agencies withstand court challenges to their cost-benefit analysis.

As I understand it, a cost benefit analyses did not factor into the recent supreme court ruling against the EPA, nor the one from last summer.
I appreciate that this website is like a more sterile uses.this.
For those who haven’t gotten into that ecosystem, that’s the origin of the “tickler file” in Getting Things Done. Also, Merlin Mann’s “43 Folders” website: 31 folders for the days of the month, plus 12 for the months.

> You already share the road with inattentive drivers and drunks...

The second is a crime and I believe the first is a misdemeanor. Getting caught in either scenario repeatedly will cause you to lose your license.

So we may share the road with dangerous drivers, but we don't accept it. So it isn't grounds to accept more danger.

Really this line of argument is always wrong. The presence of danger should make you less comfortable accepting additional danger, not more. It's not like they cancel out, they sum. (One might say that mature and accessible self driving technology would take these drivers off the road, but the situation today is immature technology and high end vehicles.)

As a self described rationalist, I think you should take another look at that - to me, it reads like you're saying that because it doesn't feel like we're taking on additional marginal risk in comparison to the risks we've already taken on, we don't need to worry about how we're actually doing so, so I was caught a bit off guard when you said you were a rationalist.
It's a natural outcome of markets, which optimize for profit, and lead to insane local maximums, like two competing businesses fighting over the same customers, by bidding against eachother on AdWords spend.
Having it on the right is pretty convenient on mobile because it makes it much easier to use just one hand (assuming you are right handed).

Ironically (given how much hate they get), I find reddit new site and official app to have the best collapse ui. On the left on the web (and with a 100% vertical high which means you never have to scroll up to collapse), and tap anywhere on the message on mobile (much bigger and easier target than hn, works for both right and left handed people).
I do a flash of cold water at the end of a hot shower for about a minute. It seems to kickstart my metabolism and wakes me up like a coffee.
I make a living as a high-performance JIT compiler writer, and the dragon book is a waste of time in my opinion. There are much better books out there. If you are a beginner, start by learning Recursive Descend parsing. And then learn LLVM.
This is an important distinction, $1t in oil could be extracted, with only $10b profit, and the cleanup costs $15b. But the country received the benefit of $1t-15b.
The secret here is they only investigate the things that support their narrative. In this article they actually explicitly stated they're looking to cover a specific list of negative things associated with the industry. They would not, for example, publish an article about how much lower our standard of living would be without the industry. Or to attempt to weigh the positives adjust the negatives of the industry.

So you can always publish "gold standard" journalism and yet still present a distorted version of the truth.
The average American spends about an hour a day driving. You are awake for about 16 hours a day. So truly self-driving cars, where you can fall asleep or pull out your laptop and work on something else, give you 1/16th of your life back. If you live to the age of 80, it's like an extra five years.

That's worth a lot. Some kind of hybrid state where you need to always have your eyes on the road but maybe can take your hands off the wheel? Yeah I agree, I don't really see the point in that case. Or at least it's not something I get excited over.
There's still two sailiant there:

- why would the goal be "the same level or performance as humans" ?

For context, some towns are actively removing cars from whole areas not just for pollution impact but also for pedestrian safety. Moral issues aside, the status quo is just not enough, it needs to be way better.

- achieving the same level as humans being possible in theory doesn't mean we'll get there in practice.

Having enough hardware to realize something doesn't help if the software is not up to the task. And assuming they "just" solve the software issue could be like assuming 18th century people would "just" discover relativity.

Software becoming as good as human in video processing just feels like a "general AI is around the corner" kind of expectation.
> * I don’t understand why anyone could think that it would be easy or fast *

Like electric cars, or landing rockets, or even getting to the moon.

I don't think anyone honestly thought self driving cars would be easy or fast, but they're getting better every single month, and sooner or later they're going to be better than human drivers.
There are varying degrees of ruggedness, this line I use when moisture or vibrations are not an issue (just temperature fluctuations and minor humidity changes).
That's why you should be reading outlets for opposing sides, to get the best arguments for each side.

But if one side doesn't bother to mount a defense or do their own individual research, and resorts only to dismissing the other side based on the fact that it's "the other side", they aren't doing themselves any favors.
Not at all. Pro grade reference monitors can cost a small fortune. PMC BB6 XBD-A for example are $125,000 a pair.
Pretty much all my interviews except in Meta. This is in India though.
Meta was the most organized but even that interview went over 2 weeks.
My Walmart interview lasted 2+ months. Round1 week1, round 2 week 3 etc etc.

EDIT: Just to state, companies do give enough time to prepare for the interview. I am only talking about the interviewing duration, not the prep time.
> Those who don't want it to die are best off severing whatever responsibility and connections they have to people like yourself.

The same could be said about those people. They aren't aiming towards a steady state society, they are aiming towards tumor-like exponential growth, which will in the long-term, lead civilization to collapse.

The person who cut down the last tree on Easter Island, and all...

Civilization, and the state exists to serve people, not the other way around. There's a name for an ideology that reverses those priorities and obligations - and that name is fascism.

I just read the entire documentation for the rearrange method. My apologies for not reading some unrelated docs to find out what rearrange does. It looks like this just makes things worse though? Like you really do have to mask off the high bits of the input, but then you're also paying several instructions for the mapping of out-of-bounds indices to negative values when making the VectorShuffle and then several instructions again to check whether any of them were negative so you can throw an exception from `rearrange`.

I wonder what it would take to take a MUD which speaks only telnet, and make it work behind a sshd proxy, with regular ssh password auth.

Somehow we would want sshd to authenticate users using their MUD user name and password, and connect locally to the MUD instance, passing the credentials somehow.

The right way to do it is via libssh, I suppose; but that's integrating the SSH into the server.
