many have the replies with new self driving cars. Public roadway vs. private basement activities.

I grew up in a family of car enthusiasts and basically I lost interest in driving them once kids arrived. I still love the machinery and Donald Healy’s 100-4 is my all time favorite vehicle and designer.

The rawness of early development and the intuitive bonds of the machine is very similar to 8 bit computing. The whole thing is Knowable.

Sure, if you don't mind their fees and ATM limits, or that they have run afoul of regulators in the UK (their base) for repeated non-compliance. They don't have a banking license. They do have tech bros, a demographic I personally don't trust.
The problem with multiplying all the way to the organization size is that it's always going to end up being a big number.

Imagine all the oxygen we would save if we all stopped saying "bless you" every time someone sneezes, multiplied by the population of the world, multiplied by an average time per year someone sneezes multipled by an average lifetime multipled by an average amount of people in the room who can hear the sneeze.
I have no smell, but I do appreciate all kinds of foods and tastes.

Mostly the only thing I noticed that I lack are spices. I have no idea what these are for, so I just blindly follow the recipes, hoping not to mess it too badly.

That said, I never had it to begin with, so I may be missing on something I don't know...

without any obvious RATIONAL reason for it to do so – sometimes there is an obvious something, or a sequence of somethings, that lead up to the attack, if you trace it back.

Like with a phobia where the fear not being based on rational reasoning doesn't make the reason for the fear reaction any less real.

You're not dull. Creativity is a loaded word. To me creativity is a state of play.

Have you ever played as a child? Chance are you did. Are you able to do stuff you enjoy without anyone forcing you to? That's creativity.

My creativity is computer science related. For others it's painting, poetry, dancing or being a top fragger at Counter Strike. Just find out what is fun for you and maximize it. That's innate, and we don't lose it with age, we lose it because we become too busy to deal with bollocks imposed upon us.

And why should you maximise play? Because it's the point where drive, focus, fun and personal accomplishment are maximised. That's what I aim for.
USB-otg is the standard that allows usb devices (such as a smartphone) to act as a USB Host to other devices (such as a screen, or a USB stick). It is becoming much more common due to the prevalence of usb-c to usb-c cables, and thus the increasing tries of consumers to make things work because the connectors work (not that I think it shouldn't work, but it doesn't by default )
I have written about this before on HN. Forget about GDP or PPP. What really matters for quality of life is local currency median income. If it is rising at a good rate above inflation levels, then your quality of life is getting better. Nothing else really matters at the ground level.
Testing a web app on as many devices as possible is crucial, because sometimes bugs only occur e.g. on mobile phones or depend on other device specifications. Though, accessing the local instance running e.g. on your laptop from your mobile phone via your local network can be tricky, especially if certain security measurements like TLS/SSL must be in place.
What opportunities do you see for AI in improving customer experiences?
What opportunities do you see for AI in improving customer experiences?

AI, the unseen artist painting our experiences.

here's how I see its palette:

1. personalized interactions: AI, curating our choices, weaving tailored experiences. no one-size-fits-all, just 'made for you'.

2. anticipatory service: foreseeing needs before we realize. what if your product remembers your preferences, anticipates your next move? magical!

3. quick resolutions: chatbots, customer service, resolving issues in the blink. no queues, no waiting, just solutions.

4. continuous learning: AI, forever evolving. every interaction, a lesson. getting better, smarter, faster.

but remember, AI is a tool, not the craftsman. its power depends on us - the humans guiding it. how can we balance automation with the warmth of human connection?

The real opportunity? using AI not just to 'improve' but to 'reimagine' customer experiences.
So I assume this is using WebGPU "compute" kernels, is that right?
Analogies are great since they talk about how things are the same, and just as terrible because they talk about things that are different.

But seriously it’s sometimes hard to slice out what level of similarity is implied. Obvious things are somewhat less obvious to others sometimes
It might be just be a zeitgeist thing. To me, all movies from the 70ies feel the same. They are distinct from movies from the 2010s (which are all similar to each other), bit are all similar to each other.

Man, repairing my XC90 sucked. I remember ripping the busted blower motor out through the passenger footwell because the service manual called for a full removal of the dash and A/C system which exceeded the value of the car. And the rear four spark plugs were horrible to replace.

Anyway, no, I don't think everyone should be required to drive a huge SUV with either a notoriously fragile transmission or a gas guzzling V8 motor. To say nothing of the unreliable sensors in the engine bay.

Ecojet, styled as a “flag carrier for green Britain”, will launch early next year with a 19-seater plane travelling on a route between Edinburgh and Southampton.

Personally, I ditched Firefox due to poor performance. Especially on infinite-scroll pages, Firefox would just stutter and become unusable.

Maybe it's improved, but my impression was that of a browser gradually getting worse.

Furthermore, not all websites seems to care much if it breaks in Firefox.

There is more focus of late on theories of "emergent gravity", i.e., that gravity is not a fundamental force. The most interesting one to me is so-called "entropic gravity", which also resolves the issues plaguing the theory of dark matter and gives credence to MOND. Such theories have been long derided by old-school physicists raised in the golden era of quantum mechanics (and their acolytes), but have surprisingly powerful explanatory power that other theories cannot achieve without tacking on seemingly arbitrary or else otherwise unmotivated factors. Dark matter especially has always been suspect to me, since even after all this time, it is defined as little more than "the gap between our models and observations" with no strong underpinnings that would explain its existence in satisfying ways.

The Need to Explain
Windows 10 isn’t much different in terms of data collection. For example, for each USB drive you connect, it sends the serial number, partitions etc to Microsoft, as well as when you connect and disconnect it. And they probably know what smart TV you have in your living room even if you haven’t used it from your PC.

Windows 10 is terrible at privacy. It is known to broadcast to 400 IP addresses. It’s not the OS to use to avoid privacy issues in Windows 11.

I switched to LazyVim earlier this year after giving up on Sublime Text, mostly because I want to be able to some motion-based editing and... LazyVim is nice. The builtins are rich enough to cover a lot of stuff you want to do without having to reopen another editor every 5 minutes and for my Scala daily work, it's good enough. The versatility of the configuration allows me to use all my languages with the same editor and a reasonable level of usability.

Also, I started using it with Wezterm and its multiplexing feature, ie though SSH and it's very nice to be at ease with your editor when it's also running in the Cloud.

Doesn't need to be. It is merely one potential leg of the stool. The business model is driving people around for money.
>There's more to life than money, but it's pretty central.

Europeans miss the point that you still need money to fund all those generous social benefits we have. Without money and a stagnating economy there will be less welfare to go around.

I've lost track of how many financially illiterate people told me "I don't care about the economy, as long as we still have great quality of life" who miss the part where that great quality of life is funded by that same economy they don't care about.
On sites with a long line length I will often pop open the dev tools so I can drag them across and squish the page without resizing the whole window.

It was an interesting experience watching David Tennant in his first season of Doctor Who and feeling like he was overacting in a way that I found got on my nerves ... right up until I remembered that most of his acting work previously had been on stage, recalibrated, and was able to enjoy his performance fine from then on.
Private aviation isn't special in terms of accidents either, though. There have been plenty of NASA spacecraft and military aircraft lost due to accidents, maintenance issues, and design flaws.
I lowballed in the beginning just to get a foot in the door and get some experience. But once you've had a few jobs that way, it's time to stop lowballing and get a bit more selective.

And then there was this one project that I really liked, and I ended up taking an enormous cut to continue on that project. That was a bad idea. It was a cool project, but being underpaid so dramatically did hurt my enjoyment quite a bit. (And it wasn't a charity or anything; it was a bank.)
I work in pediatrics and am an academic investigating MRI of kids in various diseases. When I saw this work, I did wonder about us being better able to functionally map where things are going wrong in the pathways of neurodisability. I wondered if this would have applications in being able to do that - for example being able to say that someone could process the image. Do you think it could have this type of application? One thing which would be a deal breaker at the moment is the amount of time participants spend in the scanner. But if we wanted to (for example) see if a child could perceive simple objects, would that be doable do you think?
Netcraft Raises $100M from Spectrum Equity
Exactly: if they double total revenue then NET revenue (after driver payouts) only grows to $1.4M

Sounds awesome but currently the net revenue was 700k which means they spent ~$1mm on other stuff besides driver payouts. Some of that will grow with the business (e.g. customer service, server hosting costs), some is fixed (e.g. you only need one CEO).

If they can grow the revenue without also growing expenses then they'll hit breakeven by ~doubling revenue, maybe more, maybe less.

Interestingly, i just checked their prices to JFK and they're about the same as Uber. So if they grow beyond breakeven, then they could undercut Uber's current prices...

In an arbitrage trade you might even want to put more money in if it goes against you - spread widens, so you can make more money as long as you are right.
Meh? I don't really see this as anything special, or anything close to being an "alien mind". An alien mind would have been trained on its own environment with perhaps wildly different inputs. This is nothing more than a broken human mind. A mind trained on the same inputs as humans, but then altered haphazardly. This teaches us nothing and appears to be purely a gimmick.
I'm not going to say that slow tools is not an issue, however I think slow management processes has a far greater cost to an organization, and the amount of people in management or business analysts doing psedou-work.

It is unwise to leave the detection of nuance to volunteer moderators. Rather, highlight the nuance in your question (or answer). That strategy had always landed me high value answers to my questions.

100% . People who prioritise helping others, as long as they don't overdo it and burn out, are far less prone to depression. Having a bad day? Feeling depressed, frustrated with your life? Go do something to put a smile on someone else's face. That can really snap you out of it. Of course, we (and I'd have to include myself) all forget to do this as often as we should. I agree that its a secular malady. Its almost as though Jesus was exactly right and knew what was good for us ( * caveat - this is based on an assumption that Jesus actually existed / what he said was correctly reported ;). )
I can certainly name some, but then this thread will devolve into arguing how these products are actually scams as well, which I wanted to avoid.

But since you all insist:

- Brave's BAT is the best alternative web business model that gets rid of the advertising middleman plaguing the modern web, and all the associated privacy concerns, while having less friction than paywalls.

- Blockchains are a great fit for storing DNS, identity and certificate records. E.g. Handshake domains, Namecoin, etc.

- Despite the overwhelming negativity around it, there are many benefits of cryptocurrencies as well. Projects like Monero preserve privacy, and avoid exorbitant bank wire and middleman transfer fees (Western Union, etc.).

I'm sure someone will be able to list a bunch of reasons why all of these are worse than traditional technologies, and I can certainly name some myself, but this proves my point that these arguments are not done in good faith, and do nothing to address the issues this technology can solve. It would be refreshing to see an opponent of these technologies steelman the case for them, rather than join in the cargo cult against them, which is so easy to do. This is what I'm asking you to do, instead of lazily expect someone else to come up with some proof that meets your unreasonably high standards.

Agree, I've had both a Revolt account and a Wise account.

My Revolut account evaporated into thin air with no response from their so-called 'support' channel.

I became locked-out of my Wise account for some trivial reason, may have been my fault? Anyway, support required a selfie to reactivate but would not accept the image as it wasn't clear enough. I tried 3 or 4 times before giving up.

In both cases there wasn't much of a balance so I didn't bother going any further.

The lesson here is that any provider is likely not to be perfect, so don't put yourself in a position where losing access to the account is going to be a tragedy.

A general tendence in OSM is that things that "aren't mapped" will end up being mapped. For example, natural=tree was originally intended for notable trees only, but if you look at the map today you'll see each individual tree mapped on parks, boulevards, picnic sites, regardless of its notability.

So in OSM, it's not that it can't record, or that it doesn't record. It's always that not many mappers haven't yet focused on the topic.
