Also, consider the Kids model. It's the real deal, just with a kid-friendly sticker on it (designed to be interchangeable by kids, so easy to remove). It's got the full-featured, full-power previous(?) generation Sonicare resonant motor, no NFC, no stupid "pressure sensor" button, and no BS. If you can stand that sticker!

I’m planning to build up an RSS feed or two to stay up to date with the niches I go to reddit for and supplementing with discord when I want to read general comments.

I’m actually somewhat excited because the quality of most subreddits has tanked over time.
Thanks for your point about death.

Death forces our species wide belief set to go through the constrained channel of education and communication, the same way that our bodily attributes go through the constrained channel of our germ-line genes.

This process lossily compresses the signals, which allows for drift or attenuation when the next generation reconstructs the beliefs and associated behaviors. Transmission also applies stress that acts as a filter to weed out beliefs that are no longer adaptive.
Do you use zoom on HN too?

Edit: by clicking a few "past" links of submissions from this account, it seems there is a pattern of republishing previously successful submissions.

Edit 2: Seems i clicked on the 3 wrong "past" links by chance. I stand corrected and I'd like to apologize. There are just 3 double submissions of the past days.
I'm unclear how this affects cheating. Are the exams not done in paper in large rooms with an invigilator?
What about Ralph Baric's method for splicing viruses? It's apparently really hard or impossible to detect, and that's plausibly something that could be used to make a chimeric coronavirus.

This reminds me a discussion with a landscaper. He was wary of landscapers who wanted to go against the flow and who view themselves as painter artists. He explained the fundamental difference between his work and the work of a painter as follows : "a painter makes a work of art for people to see, and a landscaper makes a work of art for people to live in". It's not the same to see disruptive art from time to time, and to live in a city with a disruptive landscape.

A stable environment can also allow people to build other art on top of it. Such as painter artists inspired by a sustainable landscape to create disruptive paintings.
Well yeah but people just plan around it

There is plenty of legal case law on this ranging from BSD to various proprietary licenses. You would not win on this. This is why Compaq had to do a clean room implementation of the BIOS back in the 80s -- the law of doing it otherwise was already clear back then.
None of the cars using the automated systems were involved in fatal accidents

If you mean Tesla, that is definitely false. Mostly famously, the Bay Area crash where autopilot was conveniently disabled seconds before the car crashed into a barrier, killing the driver. In the aftermath, the driver's family, and other Tesla drivers noted that a recent update to FSD had caused a regression, whereby Teslas would swerve toward the divider instead of away from it.

simple lane keeping and cruise control in the comparison

Some of Tesla AP's worst fatalities are instances where the car was just replicating simple lane keeping functionality and yet the car still crashed into a big rig or emergency vehicle the Tesla didn't see but which any other carmaker's system would have seen.

Notably, in instances where the Tesla was at fault Musk refuses to discuss the accident, even though he otherwise has no issues releasing information about the driver when the driver is at fault. It's telling that Musk rarely (but still) does this, which means that every time he doesn't it's very strong circumstantial evidence that the car was at fault.

At some point you need to stop making excuses for Tesla's atrocious safety practices and abysmal safety record and just except that they're fundamentally dangerous cars.
> Objective metrics (like dssim) are not the best way to compare image codecs.

Yep. It is ultimately a subjective experience. I found this out when implementing a color management system back in the early to mid 90s.

There is a lot of math, and a lot of physics, of the light, of boundary conditions of ink, etc. But there is also a lot of perception and psychology that is very difficult to capture.

As an example, my first attempts were quite accurate as measured, but looked horribly yellow-ish. The reason is that my software was successfully compensating for the blue-ish optical whiteners (UV+blue) in the paper. Which you can't do, because the eye will judge the brightest "nearly white" area in the field of view as white, and judge all the other colors relative to that.

But you also can't not do it, because then you ignore what the colors are actually supposed to be. And then it gets tricky...

Maybe there is some Internet content you might like btw? The Youtube channel "KurzgesagtDE" has over a hundred videos covering a wide variety of topics in a more modern style if that might be more appealing?
One "easier" middle ground is that if they would work on aggressive caching of requests and then maybe building a "shadow reddit" in the background

"The point of a bad memory is to forget"

This is an interesting framing of the question. As someone with a bad memory, I definitely like the idea that it's not entirely a weakness.
If those users weren't that important, Reddit wouldn't be needing to push through this change and capture the revenue from those users.

Oh get off your high horse.

I've had two uncles die from alcoholism. In reality, it was the divorces and way more complex circumstances that really did them in. It really is the cage.
I always had an intuition for this. Coming from southern Europe where the default is you cook your food, I'd always had the impression that Americans were way too casual about eating out, like it's not even a point of consideration (consequence of much higher disposable income, and comparatively more expensive basic groceries). Now I learned a nice phrase for this, "food environment".
Nothing in the article explains why this is the measure the government apparently "has" to use?

In most other countries as far as I know exams can be carried with relatively low cheating and no Internet outages, certainly not country wide outages.

Anyone has more insights on why Algeria isn't applying common anti-cheating measures or why they are ineffective there?
I think a main issue is that it requires a separate client and not just a browser.

Another issue is spam.

> Because I definitely don't see many places where I would use pattern matching in my code or even records. Recently I wrote like 10k LoC and I used record once: in test code to return pair of values.

Without knowing your application domain or seeing the code, it's hard to guess why. But one reason is that pattern matching and union/algebraic type tend to go hands to hands. So depending on how your data domain was modeled, it is normal that you don't find yourself not needing to pattern match as much.

In general,it's normal to find one self "not needing" a feature that one is not used to, professional are very good at structuring things is a way that work best with the current toolings.

> I understand that for code which manipulates trees like compilers with their ASTs, pattern matching might be god send

Very true, but i can assure you , pattern matching (combined with record and ADT) are very useful tools in general computation as well.
Pretty much. This so called blue mind theory is just saying that rich people tend to be happy.
this is obviously a test to make sure the gov can do this efficiently. More countries will use similar silly excuses like these
It can't be iron though, as it's not soluble in milk. In fact, that's the reason why, in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, babies stock iron for the first 4-6 months of (postpartum) life, basically, for all the way up until eating solids, and why pre-term babies have to be supplemented with iron because they didn't have a chance to complete stocking.
Isn't that true for any other language as well ?

The same would apply to being a journalist. Being a Jake Tapper or similar who remembers everything someone ever said could make you an incredible interviewer.

Yes, it is. Why wouldn’t it be?

Third party apps benefit the platform, especially in the early days. They result in more content from power users and easier moderation, so they contribute to revenue and aren’t only a cost.

They generally have extremely low overheads though, with nearly all being the work of just one or two developers. The profit they bring in is minuscule compared to what Reddit is looking to achieve. Apollo’s profit from annual subscribers, once accounting for taxes and the App Store fee, appears to be just a couple hundred thousand dollars based on the numbers Selig has provided.
How does this relate to internet access?

Most CTs aren't about asking questions but about providing often bullshit answers with no evidence.
Being suspicious if things happened exactly the same official way is reasonable.

Education, apparently.
One of the magic things about reddit was it was acquired by Condé Nast very early in its life. They didn't know what to do with it, so it was a bit neglected. That meant most of the time was spent on high-priority scaling issues, and there wasn't time to squeeze it for money. This helped with organic growth because the users were real and engaged. The downside was they didn't have resources to develop good first-party apps, and ended up depending on third-party developers for that.
the Hawaii example imo just shows that gun laws work better when they are broadly implimented. to get a gun to Hawaii you need to fly somewhere to buy it. to get one to California, you can just drive to Nevada

This is a really interesting choice, I look forward to seeing arguments unfold about this once I finally get an account!
Tesla's insistence that vision is all you need is one of the root issues.

Humans are able to drive with vision alone in part because we have a high-level conceptual model of the world that we can rely on to fill in the gaps when a straight literal interpretation of vision is wrong or inadequate. We know, for example, that there are not likely to be walls under highway overpasses and that stop signs on billboards are not signs. This is a "strong AI" level problem that a car isn't going to be able to to solve, so instead the best answer is to give the car super-human senses to it doesn't need such a model as much.

That and if we have self-driving cars we want them to be safer than human drivers. That could only reasonably be achieved with super-human senses.

As pointed out by jpmoral, I consider debug symbols generally a good thing. Exceptions apply as usual e.g. embedded computing.

Another approach is using stuff like debuginfod to ship debug symbols automatically when needed. Archlinux and Fedora do that and it improved debugging and reporting - especially regarding dependencies.

In this statement:

> The difference with wasps is that their threshold for attacking me is basically me standing still and doing nothing.

you give yourself the lie in this statement:

> I have compassion for wasps as living beings.

Late last fall I relocated a wasp nest, myself, by hand and with no more protective gear than a pair of thin gloves, into my kitchen, where I looked after them over the course of about a week until the unseasonable early chill broke and we had a day warm enough for them to disperse and find hibernation sites.

This spring, four foundresses began nests on my house, three on the front porch and one on the power junction box around back. One of them was quite literally right outside my front door, directly above the porch light. That nest isn't there any longer, I think because of sparrows, but while it was here I walked past it most often while its foundress was present and looking me square in the face, most days at least twice: once going out to sit on the porch and read, and again going back inside.

I regret that the birds turned out cleverer, if no less vicious, than I gave them credit for; her first daughters were nearly grown, and I was looking very much forward to meeting them. This winter I mean to mount purpose-designed nest boxes with anti-pigeon spikes and whatever other such structural defenses I can devise, in hopes that next spring's foundresses will find in them a safer place to make a home where I'll again have the chance to enjoy their company.

Last year, too, I photographed a European hornet half drunk on rotting fig, with flash, from a distance of about twelve inches. I do that sort of thing as often as I can find the chance, usually from about that close if not closer.

The year before that, I climbed into the middle of the same fig tree hunting bindweed before I noticed the hundred or so bald-faced yellowjackets feasting on rotting fruit, and getting likewise intoxicated. Earlier in the year, again before realizing they were there, I had my head within a foot of a nest that bald-faced yellowjackets had built under the eave of my side porch.

The last time a wasp stung me was around 2010. My fault; she'd been blown in the car window and landed in my lap, and I put my hand on her without having realized she was there. Since then, despite taking so close an interest in their lives as I've just been at pains to describe, no wasp has yet stung me for it. No wasp has yet even tried.

I'm not really trying to change your mind here, because I am familiar enough with rationalizations such as yours to know how well that never works. But if nothing else, I suppose at least you'll never again be able to say you haven't been told.
Both. A few are in the 500k+ sub range and some are way under that and more niche.
The author's contention is that "addiction" is a result of circumstances, not of substances. He cites a rat study, and that's about it.

I don't think that's correct. I do think that addiction results from circumstances, and it's impossible to quit if the circumstances are wrong; but depending on the substance, withdrawal can mean life-threatening seizures.

Suggesting that the primary (author implies "sole") cause of addiction is circumstances enables all these claims of sex addiction, chocolate addiction, sugar addiction and so on.

Author says at the end that the word "addiction" is outdated; I agree, because it's been hijacked to refer to any kind of obsessive or repetitive behaviour. We need a new word for a chemical dependency that threatens withdrawal symptoms more serious than feeling rather down.
Tesla claims it has 8 cameras, all around the vehicle, precisely so that it can handle cases like that.

The fact that the car, despite having 8 cameras, all around the vehicle, still failed to notice the motorcyclist is a damning indictment of the poor quality of Tesla's vision software.

My Subaru has absolutely no problem detecting cars, cyclists, or pedestrians around or behind my vehicle, and Subaru doesn't even have a best-in-class vision system.
Interoperability with libraries that can be loaded at runtime, and in general skipping a build step that would make development annoying to do.
Anything else would also surprise me. The stakes seem quite high to gamble on using your phone under those circumstances.

And just from a financial standpoint it seems far cheaper to get a couple more teachers to stand around and watch than to shut down the internet for a couple of hours.

That's your takeaway from this paragraph?

> Tasting your own breast milk or using it topically on your baby's skin from time to time is likely fine — and could even have some benefits. But, "I do not believe we are at the point where we can recommend human breast milk supplements for adult consumption" or even drinking the liquid regularly to reap any purported benefits, notes Wallace. After all, "we need to learn more about its safety and even more so about how it would benefit adult health or not," she says. There a plenty of other milk options out there these days — for now, just stick to those.

It literally ends by saying you should stick to other milk options.

Sure, but in the scenario discussed (Post hitting top of HN) a CDN is like insurance.
It predates .NET for about 10 years.
In most cases, configuration via environment variables works fine. There are cases where it doesn't. E.g. 10k pods restarting because of a simple config change is not ideal. Better subscribe to an external system like "etcd" fetch and update the config without restarting the process.
Show HN: Simpler DTO modeling for TypeScript/NestJS projects
I wasn't satisfied with zod* or class-validator* in NestJS projects, so I built this.

It's meant to be a complete solution for data transfer objects:

- A single construct for serialization and deserialization. zod and class-validator only handle parsing.

- Syntax and style closer to JSON Schema and OpenAPI for aligned mental models. zod uses chained methods, class-validator uses decorators.

- Straightforward way to integrate the HTTP context when parsing. Validation often depends on the requesting user.

- Static types by default. To get static types with zod, you must make an extra infer call. To get static types with class-validator, you must make a redundant type declaration.

*Both zod and class-validator are powerful and seem good for lots of use cases, just not my cup of tea for HTTP JSON APIs.
Have you ever visited the 155th station? Maybe you should actually try living in the city before talking. Or maybe Penn station which is next to the biggest methadone clinic in the city. If you think that I'm saying the station is literally covered from floor to ceiling with feces and syringes, then no that's not what I'm saying. But maybe you're just so comfortable with the griminess that it doesn't bother you.
Without ceremony, you have changed arguments. Originally you were saying those people simply don’t exist. As many a police investigator has noted, changing one’s stories is the surest sign of dishonesty.
