I want the technology to prevent others from driving dangerously.

And myself, by extension. We all have human moments.

Running red lights, mounting pavements to cut corners, brake-checking, dangerous overtaking, inadequate stopping distances, distractions, micro sleeps, accidently accelerating into shop fronts, and just generally phasing out because you are human.

I personally hate anti-social driving behaviour.

Brake Checking is the stupidest thing I have ever witnesses. It feels like it's becoming a trend here in Australia. Did it originate as aggressive behaviour in the US, or Russia maybe for insurance?

It's certainly a recent trend here in Australia.
Interesting product! Do you think Pluto's users will benefit from a "Messages" tool? People can have productive discussions about investing and connect with other investors.
What does the letter of law say?
Ah, thanks for the link. I think this means they can occupy the MagSafe slot, but if you want to charge via MagSafe then you have to remove them and reattach after.
Do you believe HN could work as well without a king? Even in fully democratic cooperatives, there always seems to be an inner circle of people who are more engaged, more knowledgeable, and thus more powerful / influential in practice.
...and that's when it gets scary :/
> I should have made it more clear that "Yeah but I only have to come up with..." meant "With respect to what I claimed..."

That's fine with respect to your claims, but it means your claims can't be used as-is to counter other claims that aren't on the same framework. Those people aren't trying to convict him.

> I just hate to see people conflate emotion with logical soundness and validity. Appeals to emotion are human and valid and expose interesting points, but I can't stand to see them used to tear down the intellectual value (whether or not something is logically true) of ideas.

I don't think anyone is doing that in this thread? "he stopped because he was arrested" isn't an invalid takedown of his ideas. There was a mention of ideas further upstream, but from that comment on they don't come up.
This reminds me of the process of 'Knolling', popularized by artist Tom Sachs. By definition it is just the act of arranging objects, tools, materials etc into spaced, parallel or perpendicular alignment on a table. Tom calls this out as an organizational technique, summed up by 'Always be Knolling' [0] - constantly scan your environment for things that are not in use, and if they are not in use put them away. If you are not sure if you need them, group all like objects, and align them all to be square to each other and the workspace.

It's not like being aligned makes tools and materials really that much better organized, but it's the act of doing this that gets things put away and keeps clutter down and workspaces efficiently utilized.

It's similar in part to steps in the Toyota "5S" system. [1]

>Who are you to tell other people what their interests are? That bit is simple arrogance. You can only ever speak for yourself.

One thing I will note is that America seems to like to do a lot of tyranny of the majority kind of moves.

Instead of saying things like "We recommend isolation and will support you through it if you choose" it becomes "You cannot leave your house because half of you said so".

or instead of "You can have an abortion but we wont pay for it" it becomes a tug of war between "You cannot have an abortion, even if you'll pay" or "You can have an abortion and we'll make the tax payer subsidize/pay for it" ...

I'm often shocked by the kind of "Freedom" that Americans accept
What's more although the train operator (driver) can open and close doors, the conductor (doorman) is not certified to operate trains and thus provides no emergency redundancy except perhaps in terms of crowd control.
> why is the neoliberal and corporate world supporting this so fervently?

Because a large chunk of the modern corporate world is trash that relies on "growth & engagement", thus extremely vulnerable to public opinion, which a vocal minority is successfully exploiting - some with legitimate beliefs, but I'm sure a lot of it is virtue-signalling.

If you don't explicitly embrace it (thus even having a merely neutral opinion is not enough), you are therefore considered one of the bad guys and deserving of ostracism.

Worse, this stuff is contagious, and those who are risk-averse better at least pretend to embrace it (and virtue-signal to prove how "inclusive" and "supportive" you are) lest they be mistaken for a bad guy (even if their genuine opinions are internally supportive of the cause, but they'd rather keep politics and beliefs outside of work/business for example).
That it wasn't a "serious" encyclopedia, probably due to its low cost. Another comment mentioned being allowed to use Encyclopedia Britannica and no other encyclopedia in school because it supposedly was the "most authoritative". It also was the most expensive while F&W was the cheapest (World Book was in between in cost).
What about inside those cities? Like from my apartment on this side of town to the other side.
I don’t think it’s science, but if you read about what was done to him, it puts a big asterisk by the discussion about how he could do such evil things.
I for one am glad they are enforcing the law. Highly tinted windows obstruct the important communication of being able to make eye contact with the driver. It’s important for other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. I’m not sure why your home states laws matter when you were driving in NY?
Your content is extremely prolific, good work! I think your thumbnails specifically do a great job of selling the content.

Having a focus on numbers can definitely be caustic; at the end of the day it's about the whims of hundreds, thousands, or millions(!) of people, and even the algorithms in charge of leading them about.

If you make good content, you'll be appreciated for that content regardless of what the numbers reflect.
> 2) the amount of time spent watching these videos is staggering. Like multiple lifetimes of time is spent watching an average video. If I make a junk video, I’ve just wasted an enormous amount of time. Being a good steward of this weighs heavily on me.

I wish anyone at google cared about this as much as you do.
> So you would not trust most developers?

Obviously not? Most developers are incompetent clowns. I don't feel this is controversial?
Had Kaczynski not conducted his campaign of bombings he would have had no leverage to get the Washington Post to publish his manifesto.

I re-skimmed the manifesto earlier today. It's not uninteresting, but I don't think it's the sort of thing which can be considered or appreciated outside the context of his violent acts. For one, no one would have read it if Kacynzski had been a nonviolent academic.

As for bitterness and anger, well, here's a quote I pulled somewhat randomly from the text.

"We have no illusions about the feasibility of creating a new, ideal form of society. Our goal is only to destroy the existing form of society."
Firing the VP for such a transgression is a good way to virtue-signal about how much they "support LGBTQ", so I'm not sure how much this actually disagrees with the parent?
Probably something like flask/sql alchemy. It’s been a bit since I’ve looked at the field.

But Django is definitely opinionated on things
Twitter v Alphabet is tiny business versus huge business. I do not see why Alphabet would care if Twitter existed or not, so Twitter would not have anything to negotiate with.
It might be overly political, but for something called the "Infaltion Reduction Act" this sort of pitch:

seems like bad news. They should have named the bill differently.
All the samples on that page sound pretty bland , or have nasty phase distortions. I guess that’s the point.

As a Gen Xer, it's wryly amusing to hear today's internet referred to as "Web 2.0". What we have today is not what I think of when I hear "Web 2.0". I'm sure there are internet scholars who can give some formal definitions and timelines, but to me Web 2.0 was the period roughly from 2002–2012, when the web had an age of amazing blogs, sites, videos, and (flash) games generated by individuals. I probably visited many dozens of different sites a week, which all had a very distinctive feel and perspective.

I think that era ended due to a combination of a bunch of factors, particularly the iPhone, which defined the model for the modern smartphone. The iPhone favored an infinite scroll of bite-sized bits of content meant to go viral and a lot of the mindshare that was building web 2.0 sites, switched over to building mobile apps.

It's easy to get nostalgic, but I miss Web 2.0. There are still very many interesting things going on on the internet, but they are largely filtered through the business models of a handful of mega-platforms that have a distorting effect.

Yes. NY and NJ are fully independent and equal sovereign entities from one another. In general, most of the public road infrastructure is built and maintained by state and local governments (though there is some federal funding provided). Same with public transportation.

The main complication comes from the interaction between the states and the federal government.
Don't let Youtube be the golden copy of your video. They can, and often do, kill your account at any time without notice or explanation and you will have no recourse. Keep the golden copy of all your video someplace reliable like S3 and in a format where you can out watermarks and channel names if needed.

Have a separate account for Youtube then your primary e-mail in case they decide to shut down your entire account your not completely cut off.

Try to have a way to communicate with your viewers outside of Youtube. If the algorithm does kill your channel then often times the only way to get it restored is via social media outrage, and you need a way to ask your followers to be outraged. Fund raise via patreon, have a reddit or discord community, release your videos early on a different platform, etc.

Don't be afraid to refresh old content periodically - everything old is new again.
I'm surprised mention of David Gelertner hasn't come up at all. He is a computer scientist who was attack by Ted kaczynski. He is an interesting person.

> 27 bits for just one word seems wasteful

Where did you get that you need 27 bits for one word?

> Then to send any word you only need to send one number, and in binary it would have between 1 and at most 19 bits

Yep! By sorting by frequency, you are able to make it so the majority of words have shorter bit strings. By my calculations, common words such as "the", "of", and "and" will have ~4-6 bits associated with them. That means you can encode a large number of words (googling says those words make up ~1/7 of words based on frequency) with only 4-6 bits each. That's far from the 27 bits you calculated

Can someone explain what that means?

I’m still not entirely convinced that virus scanners do anything useful at all besides hog resources.
I predict that there will be a new class of homeless/street people growing in our midst: people who became utterly dependent on computers and Internet in every way, and then simply glitched out, and a house of cards collapsed beneath them, leaving them no way to access their bank funds, their employment, or housing, and denied access to any and all personal devices, they have no way to live the life they had been accustomed to.
> Huh, I thought Groups was after Dejanews.

Groups was contemporaneous with Dejanews. But Dejanews was basically going under when Google bought them. If it hadn't been for Google, Dejanews would have gone poof and we wouldn't have had any archiving of Usenet stuff at all.
That isn’t what I said, I’m being specific about who these experiments were done on. I resent the implication that I think any other people based on where they were born or where they live are less in any way. I strongly disagree with that.
So it is! Good job finding that. They should have captioned the image like regular media does.
Similar overdone thing is the same intro music in every video. I hate it when I find someone's channel I like, so I start watching lots of videos - which all have the same intro. Gets old fast.
What about the inside? I live in NYC and its metro and bus system is amazing, and even then it's still worse than what I experienced in Asia, we're for example in Seoul, I did not have to walk more than five minutes to be able to get on a train or bus and when I got off, I similarly did not have to walk more than five minutes to get to my end destination.
That's true to an extent, but when discussing the current performance of GPU hardware the context is necessarily software that actually exists rather than hypothetical software that could exist in the future. The high CPU-to-GPU bandwidth is not currently enabling Apple's GPUs to punch above their weight class (GFLOPS or whatever) except in scenarios where competing GPUs simply don't have enough VRAM. In a future where applications are written with Apple's architecture in mind, any advantage this provides would pretty much boil down to using more VRAM because VRAM capacity isn't as limited anymore.

If the whole "pronouns" thing is about being whatever you want to be, then "assigned by god" is as valid as "xe/xer", "dino/dinosaurs" or whatever some people want to call themselves nowadays.

Yes, both cases are something that a lot of people might consider stupid or childish, but the whole pronouns trend is that people should be "inclusive" and accepting of things they personally consider stupid or disagree with, so they should accept it.
Sorry cities are much more efficient than any other form of human living [0]. It is suburbs and rural sprawl that creates the energy waste. Population drift towards the latter may cause the hollowing of cities which lead to crime and transport inefficiency.

Do you realize that the denser something is, the more efficient it is? Same is true of transistors and cities, and for the same reason: space unused is wasted.
Kaczynski would've probably said the same thing honestly.

As someone who feels the same way, I’ve lost all hope for the US in this regard. SUV/truck sales have continued increasing with absolutely zero mainstream discussion about preventing pedestrian deaths. It’s legal to have push bars and tow hitches (thus inhibiting crumple zones) with no purpose other than “protecting” your vehicle at the expense of lives.

Even ostensibly pedestrian friendly cities don’t have sufficient political willpower to hand street space over to other modes of transit at anything resembling a fast enough rate. Everything needs to sit in a “pilot” for two years before action is taken.
If he was free to choose then "assigned by god" is just as valid as any other pronoun.
Yeah as far as I know to change the name of the launching app you would have to duplicate the app bundle and rename it. But if you go that far you could also change the icon as well.
Yes, not the first incident either. There was a flagged article (I assume since vouched for) about a kid getting arrested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34935780
Is Self-Healing Code the Future of Software Development?
I think what you suggested is an unpopular opinion, but I also wholeheartedly agree with it. :)

I'm certainly no expert on copyright law, but my understanding is that its purpose is to protect the financial interests of certain creators from the progress of technology (e.g. copy paste). I've heard arguments that removing copyright would lead to less creativity or reduced quantity or quality of work, but I'm personally a bit skeptical (probably for the same reasons as you - I think people have a natural desire to create). Even in terms of financials, I would speculate that an employment/patronage model would become more widespread.

I think there's something to be said about the benefits of having freely available knowledge, music, and art for common consumption. When I was a child in high school (or well, always lol), my parents couldn't afford a lot of material I needed or wanted for studying (especially for standardized testing, SAT and AP tests) and most of the books in my local library either did not exist or were outdated. But when I discovered that much of this information could be found online, it really changed my world and made success in life feel attainable to me. I consider myself quite wealthy now, but I don't think I would have been able to escape poverty if all this information was paywalled from me. Maybe others would argue the writers are not being compensated for their efforts, but if there are other people in the world in the same position as past me who could positively benefit from it, I think that's a better world to live in, personally.

Incidentally, the release of StableDiffusion has actually inspired me to draw a little. Not sure why, but I find it inspiring being able to iterate on a prompt and produce something of quality that I can try to replicate on my own. Even if I fail, I still have something to appreciate that maps fairly well to the concept in my head.

My hope is that these technologies might lead to a change in our financial system (I think UBI would be a good idea), but I suppose we'll see where everything ends up. I think there's likely going to be a lot of pain in the short-term (especially since there are those who don't want to adapt), but hopefully everyone will positively benefit in the long-term.
Well, it seems this hack is focused on "password" protecting the page fully client-side, meaning no headers or server auth, while .htaccess would rely on the server.

The authors hacky way have the benefit of also password-protecting the contents if you CTRL+S the page in the browser as .html, and send it to someone else.
I'm not sure what you mean by magically. For every tech that makes it to production there are one or two others that don't and people just forget about them. For example, storage roadmaps used to show bit-patterned media. Phase-change memory would have been nice to have too.
In Old Persian, which is what this site says they use, I’d guess probably 𐎤𐎢𐎳𐎡𐎳𐎡 ⟨ku-u-f-i-f-i⟩, though it depends on how you pronounce it and how you decide to transcribe that pronunciation into a language with only three vowels.

Something like this should be up for a referendum.

We have seriously a lot more major and pressing problems. No one is picking and choosing representatives based on how they feel about beta testing software with the general public.

Anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if the NHTSA rightfully bans large scale operations of this software until overwhelming evidence of it being “safer than humans” have been given.

This also includes fully disclosing the source and training material used to the NHTSA.
I agree! Seeing all those all-black US flags, Punisher logos and lifted pickups is a bit scary for those who remember how close we came on January 6!
That's more like a access password in order to access the file, not a password within the file to protect itself, like this hack does.

A couple of things that have changed (allegedly) at the company described in this post since the time it was written:

* Most of the non-M/MUMPS code is now written in C# with a TypeScript/JavaScript web front-end. The M stuff is all database stuff and VB is pretty much gone.

* The toolchains used to manage M code and work around all the complex idiosyncrasies of the language are vastly improved and abstract away a lot of the pain of working in it (that isn't directly the result of the language itself, of course).

* The cleverness has gone off the charts, and so has the insanity. (The company tried to force all developers to work in-office during COVID until the county told them to stop it.)

Or so I've been told.
> What you appear to be thinking of when you talk about calculating the center is the geometric center, not the center of mass.

No, I mean something along the lines of $Integral_V x*m(x) dx / Integral_V m(x)dx$ where $m$ is the mass-energy density function. The usual way of finding the center-of-momentum frame of a system that people mean when they say "invariant mass".
Wait so the plan to reduce inflation is to subsidize expensive forms of energy? Don't subsidies increase demand and isn't the cause of inflation too much demand? How is this supposed to reduce inflation?
It's a nice way for the city to make additional revenue, and to reduce driving by those who can't afford it.

Let's be real, nobody drives into Manhattan when a truly better option is available, so the only deterrent this offers is how much of a pain $20 really is for someone.

If I am a doctor or a wall street guy and driving saves me an hour a day, I am still gonna drive if that costs me an extra $20.

If I don't make a lot and $20 is a lot for me, maybe I'll suck it up and take the two busses and two trains that it takes to get to my job from my house in outermost queens.

Yeah 5% reduction in traffic volume sounds about right, it will come from the absolute poorest but of course the real play is the extra revenue from those who'll continue to drive in.
There is no universe where governments will make the mistake of allowing something like the browser CA to come with into existence without "oversight" twice. That the browser CA still exists independently is nothing short of a miracle.
