I don't think the "the proper solution" is possible in 2023, and it's not a matter of the size of the money pile.

Google and Facebook were examples of "the proper solutions".

The former is currently inaccessible from China, the latter from Russia.

Their "abuse prevention techniques" have failed.

And there was no door handle, emergency or no, on that model? Like after she got back, she didn't point one out or so, I mean. I'm not familiar with that vehicle myself (noone I know drives BMW)
Or a battery which is almost a deal-breaker. Probably means hacking a battery controller + battery on the back.
Yeah I think there is some research showing how aircraft passengers can easily get confused about how to unfasten seat belts in an emergency situation. (Or at least that this is taken into account in the design of the seatbelts).

Your brain can switch into a very different mode in “stress” situations, especially if it’s a scenario you’ve not had repeated training for.

Even in normal circumstances having two possible ways to open the door seems… unintuitive.
Of course they shouldn’t be measured. They are recalled.

Of course, I don’t think people with recalled papers due to their fraud need to ever concern themselves with grants. (Kind of like felons can never be an officer of a publicly traded company)

As someone who also loves to "surf" the web and who misses the good old days, I do wonder if it's really in humanity's best interests to have everyone starting at screens all day. There was a time before the web when we thought computers would do all the grunt work, but the last few decades seem like we humans are still needed to push buttons, Copy/Paste, etc. for everything.

> The reason for progressive taxation is that there simply isn't a tax rate that allows you to both sufficiently fund the government and doesn't punish low income earners.

Sure there is. After eliminating deductions and special treatment (including, e.g., for capital gains), do a flat income tax at the current maximum marginal rate with a standard exemption at the level that results in the same median total tax rate as currently.

You'll more than make up on the high end the revenue you’ll lose on the low end. Of course, all actual flat tax proposals are designed to be massive tax cuts, especially for the rich, which is why they tend to feature a flat rate that's similar to the marginal rate for one of the lower brackets. Do that and you can't pay for much government.
I also like some of the generated examples.

This is not a throw-away comment. It is exactly why the US did not want to face the Japanese on the main island.
They don’t give specific numbers, but I took the state with the 10th cheapest gas (SC, $3.50) and 10th most expensive electricity (VT, $0.21/kWh), and compared expenses for a small SUV (Hyundai Kona EV(27kwh/100mi) and Kona ICE (3.1 gal/100mi))

12000 miles would cost $720/yr in the EV and $1300/yr for the ICE car.

I’m not sure how they determined costs for a charger (an EVSE to be pedantic), a 20A level 2 charger can be found for under $400, which would add less than $100/year over 5 years, the wiring to install the charger may cost significantly more, but since it’s a durable addition to your house, it should be amortized over a much longer timeframe, $3000 over 30 years is around $200/year.

I think that for most people that can charge at home, the EV is going to be cheaper to fuel, but that depends on EV rates, gas prices and registration fees(but even Texas’s $200/year fee would still leave this Hyundai EV being cheaper). I also excluded oil changes, for 12000 miles, my ICE car would need around 1.5 oil changes/year at $60/each. And of,course, like this report, I ignored the cost difference between the EV and the ICE car, which in this case is around $10,000 ignoring tax breaks.

In my case, my EV charge station cost nothing because I use the level 1 10A charger that came with the car and plug it into a normal wall outlet and it more than keeps up with my commute. (And I live in a state with $5 gas and $0.13 electricity, so it makes the EV even cheaper to operate)

Right, and that is a separate tech from web components. React, for example, does not use web components yet does exactly what you are describing.

The problem web components is solving is just the strong encapsulation. Closing the escape hatches as it were.

Yes. The answer that it gave is bordering on "You shouldn't be interested in this topic. Refrain from asking further questions about it."

I don't know how much different it is than refusing to answer potentially heretical questions, and suggesting that one ask what the Bible would say about the subject.
For a site with longer-lived sessions (e.g. video on demand, gaming etc.) which tolerate a bit of startup delay/inefficiency that can definitely be done.

But for a site that essentially tries to serve you static content as quickly as possible and mostly all at once, that would probably introduce more overhead than it's worth.
Bit is that "extension" to 5mkns more than just the repeat of e.g. 15secs heard in the demos?
This seems trivial to avoid now that this trick is public knowledge.
The person in this article didn't not escape his car because he was concerned about window damage. He didn't escape because his vehicle's hidden door controls unwittingly trained him into not fully understanding how the door latch works.

The problem is the psychological consequences of the design trapped the person inside, regardless of the emergency latch's existence. Most people presume that their car doors have one latch, especially if they only ever see or use a single one.

I'm curious why they're using a MD-90, a retired design, as the basis for experimentation here. Wouldn't it make more sense to try it on something 737 Max derived where it's more reflective of Boeing's current airplane designs and where they have ongoing manufacturing of the hulls anyway?
Well I think we agreed on that role of labor unions, just not the government.

> to scoop up important patents

Or perhaps to refine that, to scoop important patents

Apple is aggressively out there patenting obvious things that have been basic public knowledge / in use for years to try and lock up the field (eg: [0]). You can try and get your own patents but if you aren't strategically dependent on the IP for your own needs it is much easier and quicker to just nuke the field by putting as many things in public as possible so it's much harder for Apple (or others) to retro-patent broad classes of obvious features.

> This is an obvious attempt to collect biometric/human data for training purposes

Dream bigger! This biometric information is valuable, it can be sold or licensed to (current or future) identity companies, or included as part of a Palantir/Anduril/$Tolkien_Noun border security or intelligence services sold to governments all over the world. I'm sure the CIA & secret-police-types would love getting access to this data once they have a larger dataset (6 to 7 digits)
Well, this has been a fun discussion. A salient point that I haven't mentioned but that actually plays a big role is attribution. Many advertisers run ad campaigns not to get a clickthrough to their site, but to just keep their product 'top of mind', so that next time you go buy a car you buy a BMW. So from that point of view, if you see an ad and later go and sign up for a BMW test-drive, BMW would attribute that test drive to the ad that you saw. If you can't track attribution, it becomes really hard to figure out where you should be advertising in the first place. To everyone saying "use contextual advertising" - how do you know which contexts produce better results if you can't measure performance?

This is particularly relevant to mobile apps, because if you show the user an ad, they are extremely unlikely to switch contexts to go and actually click on it. If you can track users from the app to the purchasing site, then you can say "hey, I have a really valuable audience - you should pay me hella money to show them ads". This has been less GDPR and more Apple, but the result is the same - it makes ads generically less valuable.

And that is why I'm fundamentally pro ad-tech. I don't have any direct monetary interest in it, but I do want the digital economy to be growing and efficient, and in an ideal world decentralized beyond the 4-5 large platforms. People spending money online is GOOD. It's good for businesses, it's good for the people (under a rational agent model at least ;)), and it's good for me as a software engineer who wants to keep getting paid silicon-valley salaries.

I think it's a big mistake for young people (like my former self) to take deeply unhappy 20th century authors like DFW, Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson too much to heart.

Yes, they did have important things to say, and yes, it wasn't their fault that they were so unhappy, but you should never try to be like them.

I feel the opposite. I feel web components will hit the ceiling far faster due to the reduced churn and because their use case isn't all that applicable to most. Also why we see that a lot of the adoption of WC comes from major organizations with heavy design systems, those who do need to make components work across frameworks due to internal separation. Whereas most smaller teams or solo developers won't be involving themselves in that process at all.

It's a solid stable niche, not a growth kind of niche.
These models are going to end up being used for advertising. Soon pretty much every ad you see will be generative AI based. It makes A/B testing way easier as you no longer need a creative person to modify the ad or change something subtle about it. For example, the generative voice might change to a different speaker or something, and the AI can generate thousands of different voices to see which one is most effective.
> HEISENBERG: I don't believe a word of the whole thing. They must have spent the whole of their £500,000,000 in separating isotopes; and then it's possible.

How did Heisenberg know with such an accuracy the budget of the Manhattan project? Wikipedia states that it was $2.2 billion, and the pound/dollar exchange rate during the war was $4.03 for £1, so Heisenberg was less than 10% off.

Edit: I think all these discussions must have happened after they heard Truman's speech [1], where he quoted the pricetag of 2 billion dollars.

Short summary (not a physicist and consume most of my science in English, so may be slightly wrong):

- The material is fragile, and hard to form into a regular shape

- There's a weird drop in resistance around 230K; could be an artefact of the measurement process or instrument

- On 1 Aug they found a sample with almost 0 resistance, which got them really excited and led to them searching for more

- They tested 6 samples, only one of which exhibited zero resistance at below 110K

Basically, results are inconclusive, but it's promising.

But that measurement isn’t done through Scopus or Web of Science.

It’s done by evaluating biosketches of grant applicants in their application. It’s not like the grant reviewer checks Scopus for the applicants citation count or something.

I recently reviewed some grant applications and I reviewed the applicants bio sketch including their experience and publications. I didnt count the citations for each paper. But if I did, I certainly wouldn’t count citations for any papers that were retracted.

Reminder, Twitter (now X) is a privately owned company. Comments like "How does anyone in our government allow this nonsense?" are answered by the simple statement that the First Amendment allows companies like Twitter (X) to do these things because they are a private company.

Academic here. In my experience, many experts in any given area have massive amounts of intuition about their own area. But keep in mind that we do have to end up teaching outside the area. So it's safer to teach technicalities rather than a (most probably incorrect) intuition.

Some other issues:

- in many subjects, it is dangerous to work with the wrong intuition - they not only do not give a clear picture, they actually give you the false picture.

- even though math gets a bad rep, I think the only reason we are able to work with high-dimensional matrices and vectors is because we let go of geometric imagery at some point. Most people, including myself, have a hard time visualizing even 4 dimensions.

Your comment pointed directly to race war. That's practically the biggest flamebait there is—especially when you use high-indignation, low-information phrases like "how much you discriminate against $group".

It's important to understand the concept of "generic tangent" - when a thread moves away from the specifics of a given story toward more familiar/bigger/hotter/divisive/sensational things, the discussion is guaranteed to get more repetitive, less interesting, and more likely to turn into a flamewar.

You can't judge these things by upvotes—sensational comments and flamewar comments frequently get heavily upvoted. This is a weakness of the upvoting system. Past explanations here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....

In C and C++, volatile is a qualifier for a type. You then use that type like any other.

In Rust, there is no volatile types. There are two functions, read_volatile and write_volatile, on pointers.

Rust’s API is basically identical to the intrinsics, whereas C and C++‘s are not. This plays out with stuff like the drama around volatile compound operators being deprecated.
No argument from me. I see good uses for LLMs, both now, with care, and as part of a toolkit for building towards more general intelligence.

One way to think of LLMs as available now is as sort of thinking partner, much like bouncing ideas off another person, except LLMs use the ideas of entire communities of persons. Of course some of the ideas bounced back at you from thousands or millions of people are going to get things wrong. Don't be like the lawyers who blindly used ChatGPT to write their legal briefs without even checking the citations, and you'll be OK.
