I had one of these alerts go off once from my watch. After a really hard fall from tripping during a trail run. I still have the scars.

The alert said: “You had a hard fall and stopped moving. Press this button or we call help”

The “stopped moving” part seems like the perfect proxy here. People in a car crash experience a huge spike in G-force once. Then it stops. Or maybe it goes for a few seconds if you’re rolling down the highway.

Car crashes don’t go on for minutes upon minutes. This seems like something a machine learning algorithm could handle. At the cost of calling 911 3min after a crash instead of 3sec. That’s still much faster than how long it takes people to call for help.
we have a long history of no to little enforcement (because it's incredibly difficult to do) on traditional bikes largely due to lack of licensing/training.

> All you can do is continually refine it once you deploy it. A bit damned if you do, damned if you don't

you could also get it to work with fewer false positives before deploying it, so more like damned if you do rush to market without proper testing and not-damned if you're thoughtful and do minimal testing first (which would obviously include dancing)

or, alternatively, just don't deploy and keep deployed a feature which fails so often and for which failures have such a significant impact on people

I'm close to this (I work in emulation) and that chip IS awesome.
It is the first fpga really designed with emulation in focus.
You think simple CLI.

I think: I'm writing this in Python, most Python setups are a giant mess. By putting it in a container, I can guarantee it'll run right on their system. This is LESS complex.

If my employer considers "docker run" when given full instructions complex. I guess I'm not a fit.
Yes, this is great... I was given a Macbook with a Norweigan keyboard for testing a port of FreeBSD on it, and I quickly discovered that the keyboard layout remapping stuff available via the UI won't remap at least this one key to what I'd find on my US keyboard.
It would have avoided it! I was using tab and forgot to select .pub as you correctly surmised. I was a junior dev at the time and all the seniors got a good laugh out of it, and I use it as a cautionary tale about trying to be TOO overeager and efficient.
Show HN: Vim-like undo history for OpenAI API prompts
Having been saved by Vim's infinite, persistent, and branched undo for years, I was disappointed that OpenAI's playground has no concept of history whatsoever.

Was wasting too much time getting API calls just right, so I built this on the side. The core feature is the branched undo history + diffing between any two historical nodes.

I hope it may be useful to someone else, but I would greatly appreciate any feedback - including harsh, but actionable feedback.

Unfortunately I do have to require a login to prevent abuse since this is tied to my personal API key.

> New research finds that people who try time-restricted eating can keep it up longer than people who count calories.

This is consistent with my experience. IF makes eating a binary choice: either it's eating time or it's not. That simplifies the decision tree in a way that is helpful for me.

> Not really the best kept secret, but a LOT of startup founders come from social classes where money isn't that difficult to get.

While maybe not a secret it is striking how many startups had initial "friends and family" pre-seed/seed.

I think it's very important to call-out for those like OP where having ready access to five-six figures is one of the main reasons why a lot of founders can "take the leap" while it seems nearly impossible/terrifying for those who don't.

Needless to say if things don't work out those same friends and family can help the failed founder "get back on their feet", repeat for the next one, or keep dumping in cash for runway.

Having ready access to such funds and the safety net these same networks often provide makes a world of difference.

I'm stuck at "iatetomatoesyesterday0265Z#521juneVpepsiVIIxngxcaboutAg[moon emojis]italy2020Bf7+" trying to solve the chess notation puzzle.

I especially laughed at the rule "must include today's Worldle" and I'm happy with my solution including every emoji for "must include the current phase of the moon as an emoji."

(HackerNews doesn't seem to display emoji. My solution is to paste every moon phase emoji.)

Excited to see what's next after figuring out the best move in this Chess puzzle.

This reminds me of trying to manually construct an Autogram like below. This one is a quote someone else made. I tried to do it myself and it is so hard because the counts keep changing as you write out other counts!

Talking to someone you know at the company is the best way to get a job in a big organization.

Getting hired from a university campus visit is the second best way.

My suspicion is that showing up at the front desk in person is probably the third best way at this point (after submitting online) because online applications are designed to deal with the problem of too many qualified applicants.

Sure online application processes wade through the morasses of 40,000 unqualified applicants a day. But the hard problem is 1000 qualified applicants a week modulo labor law for a position that will probably be filled via hiring someone who already knows someone at the company...

...or an industrial competitor/peer. And if your resume is being word searched it would make sense to search for business names in the work history section of resumes. Because the standard for a factual claims about past employers is clearer than the standard for factual claims regarding experience with a particular technology.

So anyway, put on business attire, shine your shoes, put some printed copies in a file folder, walk in, and say "I would like to talk to someone about a job."

Then you can meet some people at the company.

Good luck.
I'll add to be wise enough to distinguish from topics you should have your opinion drom those ypi shouldn't. E.g. a brain surgeon and his views on quantum physics, said surgeon should have an opinion on brain surgery, a good one that changes based on his qualified evaluation of new facts while he is perfectly fine of jist going with whatever the latest consensus regarding Higgs bosoms or some other quantum physics topic is. If that makes any sense.

The EDF is actually 65 billion in debt and the government started the process of its nationalization to make it 100% state owned last year. If various internet source are to be believed, France has a price of 22c per kWh for consumers. I checked the current averages in Germany and the price of electricity alone is around 25 kWh (and then taxes and distribution surcharges and various other costs go on top), despite the fact that wholesale prices in Germany have been drastically below that of France for at least a year now. How is this possible? It can only be that french prices are artificially low because the EDF is state owned. But back to my original statement - the real price will be paid one way or another, there is no free lunch. The additional irony of that is that prices in Germany and other European countries shot up last year because of electricity deficit partially caused by France's nuclear plants going belly up.

Our consumption is a lot lower than that, we are almost always around 1500kWh per year, this was the case even as a household of 3. I sort of work remote, I have a shared office with 5 other people, and we spend less than 100kWh per month (we checked a few times since we moved in). So if you want you might add around 300-400kWh per year if two people were working remotely, but then again we would not have two fridges at home, and we already frequently work from home.
I questioned where the original facts came from and where the new facts came from and how we know that they actually changed?

As a past high functioning alcoholic. That line of reasoning sounds very familiar. I used to tell myself the same thing. But once you stop drinking, you start seeing that the drinking was adding to the stress, and personal relationships were not as 'meaningful' as I thought. Hanging out drinking is not as 'deep' as it appears when not drinking.

Many studies do show that alcohol leads to additional stress, which then drives the need for additional drinking.

EDIT

Don't take me wrong. You seemed to really focus on the Religious side. I'm just saying that there are a lot of valid Health Reasons (Non-Moral, Non-religious) reasons not to drink.

And, I'm not saying I don't like drinking. Just because I'm an addict doesn't mean I don't like drinking.
It'd be easier to take moral panics even a little bit seriously if one actually turned out to be true.

Has there ever been a moral panic that turned out to be true? The closest I can think of is maybe the teetotaler/prohibition movement. Alcohol truly does cause a great deal of harm to society.

Not having been alive in the late 1800s and early 1900s I can't speak to if it was really viewed as a moral panic similar to the Satanic Panic of the 1980s that I got to experience.

You are experiencing exactly the phenomenon the previous poster was describing. Because you did not have the experiences that produced theses cliched phrases, they seem mundane and not wise to you. Once you do have these experiences, you will go "Ooooh, that is what they meant!". Had this experience hundreds of times. You may need some psychedelics.

I don't think it's a problem at all. Phones shouldn't be doing automatic crash detection. Problem solved.

I have a feeling this creates more problems than they solve. A computer should never reach out to emergency calls without the user pressing something.
RedHat also has been declared isn’t all that great recently.

I think its quite challenging to pursue this as self-study. Its a longish journey and it requires a lot of stamina and self-discipline.

Think of it as pyramid, with ML being your objective to reach the tip of the structure and a number of mathematical topics being the pre-requisite foundations. You need to build them layer by layer, so that the next step is stable and doesn't fall apart in the first difficulty.

Listicles are easy to do: multi-dimensional calculus, analytic geometry and linear algebra, fourier analysis, probability and statistics etc. But to understand rather than stochastically parrot these things (the way an LLM would do) you'd need to spend serious time studying and solving problems in each of those areas.

The good news is that all of this knowledge is more or less what we call "applied mathematics". It does not require too much mathematical abstraction (which would require even more effort to develop).
> it also doesn’t mean I have to go praising them for doing something I don’t agree with.

For those wondering what an "Adaptive SoC" is supposed to be:

Interesting story. I wonder about this “technical tool” put on servers to bypass encryption. Surely encryption and decryption occurs on the user side only. Sounds more like the company owners were asked to either:
(1) load software to record data on phones before encrypted or
(2) have a universal-type private key to decrypt everything. But maybe I don’t understand?

Perhaps an important note is from a Vice article that I found:
“..encrypted messaging programs which route messages through the firm's own servers”. If the messages are encrypted on the device then why would you need to send them via the firm’s servers? Maybe it prevents traffic monitoring or something? Sounds more like copy and decrypt.

Also a phone which is obviously only for criminal use does not seem smart - for the same price one could buy a new phone, sim, and popular encryption apps every month. Although a “care-free” solution for criminals is probably appealing.
Most do get bored and leave. It’s not for everyone. Most long time players would probably prefer no new players. It’s not anyone’s priority.
Hmmm, interesting. How would this be implemented in practice? EU passing laws about specific things that Microsoft should and shouldn't do?
How much of a nuisance is this in reality?

From what I've heard, 911 operators regularly get people calling them for non-emergencies. The 911 operator's job is to judge whether the caller is actually reporting a legitimate emergency, and if so, route the report to the correct emergency personnel (fire/police/ambulance/etc) OR disregard the report as a non-emergency.

The end of the article seems to confirm the false positives didn't actually have any real negative impact. So legitimate emergencies were not drowned out by the accidental dialing.

> Thankfully, that wasn’t enough false 911 calls to overwhelm the local system and prevent responders from dealing with real emergencies that weekend, and with the help of festival organizers, the local authorities were able to locate the source of every false 911 call to determine that no actual emergencies were being reported.

Obviously eliminating false positives would be ideal. But if the false positives aren't overloading 911 operators, seems like maybe a non-issue? Especially if these things can be predicted, e.g. local emergency personell should be aware of a local festival anyway (and can be on alert for these false positives, assuming it's not so bad as to drown out actual emergencies).

Many people have an irrational fear of dialing 911. If you do it right now, someone will pickup the phone, and if you simply say "Sorry, I didn't mean to dial!" you won't get in trouble and the 911 operator will gladly let you off the line.
Exactly!

More importantly, simply expect that if you are touching any digital/electronic technology that touches China, you should expect that they are extracting and collecting every bit of available personal, location, and other data, and that it is available to the CCP. And, while the CCP likely does not GAF about your particular data, they do care a LOT about the aggregate data. They also will find it very handy when in intersects for particular targets, such as any of the millions of US govt employees whose data they harvested over years [0][1].

The Great Experiment, in which it was thought that open commerce and exchange would lead to democracy and freedom for China's millions, has failed, resoundingly. All it did was further empower a ruthless dictatorship bent on global expansionism. Do not do business with China.

I don't believe the author is asking for "acceptance". I think they're just notifying you that that is how the system works now. You may act as you see fit.

I think there's a touch of satire to the whole thing in the tone that you're picking up on. This article wasn't a celebration of this fact by any means, merely an observation of it.
Just before the pandemic, I was taking a Stanford Extension class on Ulysses. A few students were taking it for credit, but most of us were there purely because we wanted to be. I'd always wanted to read it.

The teacher had been teaching that book since the early 70s. We had a guidebook to help us through it. We all had a particular edition, so the teacher could say "on page 341" and we all could go there. Whatever else you can say, this was about as ideal an environment as you could wish for.

Meh. I can see it was groundbreaking in its time, but now? Outlived its shelf life. Stream-of-consciousness was revolutionary, I give him credit, but now it's routine.

Even at the time, Einstein, Freud, and Darwin were revolutionizing modern thought, and Joyce was resolutely ignorant of them.

People say, "What about all the symbolism? What about all the word play?" Again, I say, meh.

Anna Karenina -- now that's a great novel.
I think one of the things that other posters are alluding to is that the phone can experience very significant forces if you are dancing, especially if it is being held in something like a purse or other bag that's flying around wildly as you dance (or if the phone is dropped). I'm pretty sure that if I threw my phone in a bag and caught it by the strap, it would experience far more G force than in any ordinary car crash, and if it is surrounded by screaming and general chaos, I think it's making a fairly understandable decision.

The sensor fusion algorithms get confused by this, and the phone decides to call 911. It displays a notification for 10 seconds, then it starts a further 10 second countdown where it buzzes at maximum power and plays a siren noise at maximum volume. Under normal circumstances a reasonable person would notice these very loud alerts, and cancel the call. In a festival scenario where the users are deafened by other noises and possibly drunk/high, you might not notice. The phone then makes a call to 911.

How would you alternatively design a system that calls emergency services in a crash? Where would you personally choose to calibrate the false positive/false negative rate? These are hard design choices, and there will always be incorrect detections with any automated system like this.
Uber made it a problem for themselves. If they used any sort of linear scale it could've been useful. I've never seen a driver with rating lower than 4. TBH, I'm not sure if I ever saw one lower than 4.7. What's the point of this rating scale? It's compressed to the point of being meaningless. Likewise, there are no way to get a rating better than the default 5. So there's no incentive for drivers to be better than average.
Yeah I don’t think it’s fair to say life is worse on every possible metric.

The trouble for me personally is that it’s worse on most of the metrics that matters to me.

There are just some things about suburbia that are fundamentally worse and never won’t be. But that involves tradeoffs, and good luck finding or affording a place with a yard in the city. It’s just a bummer that the tradeoffs can be so severe.
I was only talking about the currently deployed constellation, which of course is much smaller, but for which we have actual numbers from measurements.
For the completed Phase 3 constellation I have read numbers in the range from 1.7 - 2.3 Pbit/s as theoretical maximum.
So would need around 8-12 PTX boxes to reach the same total routing capacity as the whole future constellation.
The current single-fiber bandwidth record is 1.53 Pbit/s.

And nevermind that Starlink will run out of ground station / inter-satellite link capacity long before reaching the theoretical maximum.

I agree on all points, but the access you get to other Apple users comes with access to iMessage, FaceTime, and all the other services specifically tied to the iOS ecosystem. A lot of people, me included, hate Apple for the way the wall their garden, but these services are valuable to me and others. So I would caution against everything being a psychology trick. They objectively do make a great product.
How to make your scientific data accessible, discoverable and useful
Unless you are playing the competitive games that won't turn on anti-cheat for Linux, this seems statistically incorrect. Valve prioritizes fixes for the most popular games, so the games most people want to play will work (if they are not actively prevented by the publisher as with anti-cheat).

Passengers get rated on a lot of things but I think your willingness to tip is foremost, and then from there it's a lot of biases, racial, gender, etc. I've been hit on by a lot of drivers and I've wondered if politely rejecting their advances has caused me to have a lower score. 4.8 on Uber, and a 5.0 on Lyft. Go figure.
