Not a fanboy, but I mean listen to any of NPRs coverage of EVs. They almost never mention Tesla. Breathlessly claiming that EVs are gaining traction, only talking about <1 year entrants. Squirming, talking about how charging networks need improvement. Barely whispering that Ford et. al are trying to buy their way into Tesla’s network.

It’s clear to me that without Tesla, warts and all, very little of the current EV adoption would be happening this soon.
Usually I see the dupe and not the original.

Comments pointing out dupes are irrelevant noise.
Here or elsewhere I’ve long followed these rules for commenting:

1. Be respectful.

2. Stay on topic.

3. Move the conversation forward. This sounds like a repetition of #2 but there is often a distinction in that, say, a discussion about a new product feature is likely not the time to discuss the company’s history with features. Going in that direction is moving the conversation sideways.

4. Provide supporting evidence for what is said. Claiming something like, “I’d never buy this from Company X” is a baseless statement compared to “I’d never buy this from Company X because A, B, and C are an indication I won’t get much support beyond the 90-day warranty and that’s not enough at that price point.” The trick I use for this is to include a word like because since it compels an explanation.

5. Avoid attempts at humor. For one, text mediums like HN can easily lead to misinterpretations; there are many people reading for whom English is a second language, so being clever can cause confusion for those readers; if my humor were so good to be worthwhile for the amount of readers a place like HN has then I should be a comedian. I'm not a comedian.
Thank you for this comment and the text. I'm also curious about where this text comes from, I'd love to read the rest of it.

And yes, I agree. ADHD is not a "mental" problem, and cannot be "coached" away. ADHD Coaching is one part of a greater pie (e.g. I personally use both medication and ADHD coaching, and a mix of productivity tools). What ADHD Coaching uniquely offers, is to work with what you have, create systems around you and your life, and to get support from someone who gets it.

However, as you mentioned, it doesn't "solve" ADHD or "coach it away", that is not the purpose for sure!

I can personally (and our members too) attest to the fact that there definitely are benefits, perhaps not for every single person and every single coach out there. For me, I've become more productive as I work to manage my energy, align my days with my circadian rhythm, I've learned new techniques around time blocking, my coach has kept me accountable to things that are hard for me to pull through on, and my general quality of life has improved. Could I have gotten this a different way, on my own? Sure, most definitely. Tons of alternatives including self learning and experimentation! That route was just personally very hard for me.
I'm an amateur, but it seems to me that methods to synthesize will have to be distinct from methods of the generative model.
What books have you read?

Nine contrarians, some of whom are funded by oil industry sponsored think tanks, others who have zero scientific qualifications (Peter Thiel B.A, Alex Epstein B.A, I mean, come on), don't stack up against the thousands of qualified climate scientists of the IPCC.

The science is pretty straightforward. CO2 absorbs infrared energy from the sun, raising its temperature (If you want to measure the amount of CO2 in an air sample, guess how we do that? Shine infrared light through it from one side and measure how much is missing on the other end). That heat is transmitted to the rest of the atmosphere through collisions with the other molecules, N2, O2 etc.

We use 100 million barrels of oil a day, approximately 70% of which is burned. About 22 million tonnes of coal and 11 million cubic meters of natural gas are also burned per day. Add in methane and you're looking at almost 140 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent entering the atmosphere every day. We've been building up to this level gradually over the last century or more. That CO2 that we're burning every day sits in the atmosphere anywhere between 20 to 200 years, absorbing heat from the sun every minute of every day.
Sorry about that. We are working on building the Windows and Linux versions. May I ask which specific OS you are on?
Yes, but the way shares work is that someone paid either the original founders or the company itself for a share, then someone paid that person, and so on. The current shareholders are certainly profiting, but they exist only because the company needed them to exist in order to create the company as it is now.

Updated! Now you can cmd+F and find it. Thanks for this suggestion.
You are using the word compliance while ignoring the other side of the equation, namely clearance of the individual. For an organization to be ITAR compliant, it has to ensure that access to materials that are on the USML list are only available to those eligible. Those eligible are verified through a clearance process that confirms their legal status in the US and collects sufficient evidence to demonstrate their allegiance to the US.

Ergo, legal status (ex. citizenship) is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition to gain access to ITAR materials i.e. by virtue of being a US citizen, one is not automatically entitled to access, transport or store ITAR materials.

Based on these recommendations I tried it out. Content seems fine but in 2023 it’s hard to escape the connection between Sam Harris and so-called “effective altruism” which soured the experience in for me.

I like and recommend Smiling Mind from a company out of Australia. It feels like what would happen if PBS released a version of Waking Up.

There is a balancing act here: while beekeeping does in many ways help support the population of non-native species, you are right in noting that a lot of eurasian plant species that we rely on need domestic bees – and honey bees, in particular – to produce our food. At the same time, that modern monocrop agriculture is further exacerbating the problems faced with non-native species – especially in the case of those eurasian plant species. It seems to me that honey bees must be kept in agricultural settings – and in that case, I hope that they are kept responsibly – but the urban beekeepers discussed upthread should, perhaps, put a larger part of their effort towards keeping native species.

> We're all invasive.

Humans are absolutely not an invasive species in the americas. We may have been when we first arrived – and many native species went extinct as a result – but humans have been a part of the local ecosystems for tens of thousands of years and – where I'm from in canada – have been here since the ice sheets receded and the local ecosystem began to evolve. We are far past the point of being an invasive species and have (had?) long been integrated into the ecosystems in question.
somethings that you don't seem to understand:

- this is not entirely about the homeless

- this is not entirely about the elderly

it is about companies using technology badly - something you either support or can't recognise.
I cannot stand Zoom. I had that it tries to install its crapware on the computer.I find Google Meet to be perfect for what we need.
okay but why is Canada seemingly perpetually on fire yet these other neighboring states I mentioned aren't? as a layperson I would expect this phenomenon to refuse to respect man-made borders.
That's probably just relying on a push-button tamper switch which could be easily bypassed by cutting the back plastic instead. I doubt they are doing anything very fancy like running wires over the whole case.
Then it's a surprisingly reasonable law.

There's an urge when there's a clear evil happening to solve it by whatever means possible (e.g. address local issues at a federal law, or national/international issues locally). However, the older I'm getting, the more I'm realizing that how a problem is solved is often more important than that it's solved.

I've also learned that in policy, overkill usually causes more problems than it solves. We keep seeing that lesson (war on drugs, war on terror, war on [X]), but we never really internalize it. As soon as something really bad happens, it's politically advantageous to be tough, and anyone opposed is labeled something bad (pedophile, terrorist, rapist, abuser, ...).

I predict that by far the most common culprit for creation will be an immature, horny, nerdy, teenager. The most appropriate reaction will be within the toolkit of most adult caregivers (parents and schools), without any new laws required.
I don't have a problem with it, but it's obviously (for the person you're replying to) the secrecy.
There are literally 1902 results for "discriminating" on the DOJ's press release search page, and they only go back as far as 2009. That's also for the ones they chose to publicize. I appreciate that you think this is unnecessary - I do too - but the facts don't bear in your favor.
Solar Orbiter discovers tiny jets that could power the solar wind
I think it's just a headline writer thing. Searching for "astronomer discovers" it appears there's often an "extra" word. When it's a plurality of astronomers doing the discovering, less so.
Depending on reasons why you write in the first place?

If you want to write for people, then please continue, I can assure you that people will read it eventually. (Don't forget to add RSS so readers will not be dependant on search giant monopoly).
So then you just `wsl --install` and you get a proper Linux distribution. Also get the Windows Terminal from the store and you're off to the races.

I honestly consider this a better experience compared to Apple's BSD tools and lack of first-party package manager.
Certain high profile stories get flag protection, which seems controversial to me, especially when used silently and only admitted to after the fact. I can't remember the specific one but it was one in the wake of Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter. It ranked highly despite the flags it was getting, according to dang.
12 years doesn't sound too bad. It's already been 12 years since the accident, so half the tritium is already gone (unless the melted cores are still producing it?)
> Now that I think about it, it'd be fun to know how Memmaker works internally, but I can't seem to find info on that. Maybe no one has done such analysis... yet.

It has been a long time...doesn't it just go through and LOADHIGH all the obvious possibilities? I feel like it maybe had some library of candidates it would check.

I never had this program, I think I did it all manually after analyzing config.sys and autoexec.bat on systems with more free ram than I had. It makes me realize how much knowledge I just mined from school computers.
Cute, but I think you read it wrong. It would be very relevant to know why someone wanted to talk about this and how it got to the front. There has to be some context, and I suspect GP is intrigued to know what it is.
It is also used for discovery and search of models.
Following your train of thought, Github is just hosting a bunch of src files.
Doesn't change things for Actors though, even if the writers get that concession. Rights to likeness and provisions restricting use of that likeness as part of a training set for creating a "synthetic" actor/avatar should be at the top of any negotiation.

In fact, it honestly shouldn't even be a negotiation. No one should put themselves out there without charging exorbitantly since given the immortality of corporations, the potential value extracted by the studio vould approach infinite.

Just because studios want to not have to pay people and just rand up some people, doesn't mean they should be able to. If the executives desirous of such power would like to make the training set themselves, have at. However, I'm fairly sure once they figure out how legitimately hard acting is, their tune would rapidly change as well.
> coding for them is not about reifying understanding.

I don't agree with the implication that I have a deficit in understanding. I would more say that I focus my understanding where it matters.

For example, in web dev this would be a thorough fundamental understanding of the DOM and what interacts with it (JS/HTML/CSS, especially the warts of JS), the performance/responsiveness costs of doing things certain ways, what runs synchronously and how to use that to make the best user experience (avoid flashing/repainting with a quick synchronous thing but longer things should be async..), the overarching architecture of your codebase and how modules should fit into it, what your internal API's do..

If you're rock solid on all of that, the really important stuff of your domain, then you'll have smooth sailing whatever you do. The rest is quite often incidental. Copilot/stackoverflow/some guy on IRC says org.apache.util3.json.JSON.IsValidJson will validate my json, and I already have org.apache.util3 installed? Great, moving on to the rest of the work I have to do building this service..

If that API call blows up on me later, I'll investigate deeper, but my sense of what's important to investigate deeply rarely fails me at this point in my career. The org.apache.util3 probably have little interesting to teach me, but when Firefox started supporting raw JS modules, you bet I thoroughly looked into that.
Thanks for your comprehensive answer, it's really nice to see that async traits and etc. might be coming soon.
This is the wrong approach, because the laws around payment cards require they be strongly linked to ID, allowing point and click shutdown/freezing of anyone's ability to transact.

When you can't pay a lawyer, and you can't pay a taxi to get to your lawyer, and you can't buy food, and it's all because the government pointed a finger without evidence, prior to trial, the system is a bad one.

The ability to use cash must be preserved. You really don't want to live in the world where the only payments are the ones the government explicitly allows.
U.S. drug overdose deaths hit a record in 2022 as some states see a big surge
Sure, we sometimes turn off user flags when the article contains significant new information and the topic seems intellectually interesting.

Most of what we do is "done silently and only admitted to after the fact". HN is a curated/moderated site; it always has been. We don't publish a moderation log but it's always possible to get an answer to a question—you just have to ask.
Is there any inherent delay modeled between any of the layers in your hypothetical NN architecture (assuming non-SNN)?

If there are no actual time delays modeled within the network, then whatever it evaluates is representative of the outside state at some instant in time.
If the evidence doesn't exist where it "aught" to be found it is also likely Darwin's theory is incorrect. It is a theory and not a law. Right?
> It is pretty beautiful how such small, centuries-old traditions seem to abound in Japan, where the condition of the west seems to be a state of persistent impermanence.

Japan is a monoethnic nation. Much of the West isn't anymore for various reasons, to the degree where people engaging in "centuries-old traditions" are seen as weird or even racist.

And in a different tack, there is the fascinating concept of "change merchants"[0] that may help better understand why everything seems to be swirling around so quickly.

I watched someone riding a Van Moof bike get hit by a delivery truck this morning. He was fine, but the bike's front wheel and fork need to be replaced. Shame to think the bike is probably a loss, now that the manufacturer has shuttered.
The women's chess division was created by men though. Probably more conservative men than run the organization today.

In a way it's like affirmative action. And like I've said elsewhere, when there's talk of inclusion, someone must be excluded.

Chess is open to all. Women's chess drives inclusion by exclusion.
Eh, I can’t really agree, but I suppose this is relative to each person’s interests.

To me, the analogy to walking would be like foregoing the computer entirely and using an abacus, or sticks in the sand.

The end result of writing code manually or automatically is still a program made from code that must be maintained. Some people like more control over the code.

The end result of using an automatic or manual transmission is still driving. Some people like more control over the operation of the transmission because of the finer grained control over the output of the car that it enables.

There's going to be a rude awakening if they think that's a good solution
Makes sense and seems to lined up with what I've experienced. New hire aren't developing anywhere near the same as pre-remote hires. Maybe we'll figure it out but we're having issues really identifying why and figuring out how to resolve it.

I expect remote heavy companies to undergo some massive shifts in a few years when people train/hiring in this new regime become the majority. I also expect an almost complete end of employee activism.
> Yuan told employees that Zoom the product does not allow Zoom the company to "build as much trust or be as innovative as in the office." So why does it even exist and how is it making money?

This line of reasoning is asinine. Perfectly defensible to say that Zoom is great for other industries, or orgs built with different structure. While eating your own dogfood is a confidence builder, it’s by no means a requirement for companies to do it 100%.

Also to suggest that Zoom is only meaningful as a product if you can run your company fully remote is laughably myopic; there is lots of value to having VCs between offices and teams, even if those teams work in-person.

Sure, Zoom has marketing material that leans into remote work. To avoid confused thinking like the OP you should note the purpose of marketing teams and not over-index on what they say.
I think that no matter what definition one comes up with, it is possible to have counter examples (i.e., is fire alive, seeing as how it reproduces, consumes food (fuel), etc).

One of the indicators of life I like to use, that seems to be useful in the general sense is that life is good at decreasing (fighting against) entropy at a local level. So fire for example increases entropy. A living being takes in raw materials plus energy, and produces a lower entropy (higher organization) of those inputs. Like plants making sugar, and pulling apart CO2 to make free oxygen. Or animals taking in sugar and oxygen, the output is higher entropy (CO2) but you have higher organization of material (lower entropy) locally within that organism.

This also means that life doesn't necessarily need to reproduce (although that is how life that we know of works). You could theoretically have a living being that kept evolving its own form but never developed the ability to copy itself. It just keeps consuming energy and environmental items, and maintaining its own internal complex structures.

Regarding the Intel thing: I'm surprised to hear Intel doesn't plan on it. I wonder what the differences in the network stack are between the versions that they found it worthwhile to not support 10 as well, regardless of how many users will be able to use it for how long. I know there were some changes with cellular network driver interfaces but I don't recall if there was anything big on the WLAN side. I guess one possibility is maybe they didn't want to maintain a 32 bit driver at all going forward so they decided to just not release anything for 10 completely for clarity since the support window is so short anyways.

Regarding the reporting: If they are going to bother to talk about the details of LTSC they might as well do it accurately. 21H2 end of mainstream support is 2027, not 2026. Also the wording of the 10 year reduction makes it sound like they promised a 21H2 release with 10 years of support then dropped it to 5 when what actually happened is they announced they would still do another LTSC release but this next one wouldn't have 10 years of support for most versions. Of course they mention security updates instead so the 1809 LTSC release with security updates until 2029 is actually the longer running pick anyways. The note these are difficult to obtain as a normal buyer is accurate but at that point we're back to 21H2 having security updates until 2032 via IoT Enterprise (not to be confused with Windows IoT which was the continuation of the Embedded line).

It's not that I even like or dislike the support lifecycles it's just if you're going to bring it up in your news article it should be both accurate and fair not a sloppy hot take to rile up readers. /rant
Windows 1 was hard to work with because they used a strict tiling model for window management. All apps had to fit into a screen grid of non-overlapping tiled windows. You very quickly got to tiles that were too small to be useful and hurt the usefulness of Windows as a product.

By Windows 2, they had given up on that tiling model and gone with overlapping windows.
The PS2/DS game Flower Sun and Rain did this. There was an available book that was a guide for an in-game resort whose contents were used to solve puzzles. There was also a digital version within the game, but the physical book looks fun.
Teams has persistent chat, instant messaging, integration into enterprise toolset and custom handlers for teams who want to build their own apps. Teams isn't perfect but my experience has it leagues beyond what Zoom is capable of.
Forest fires are hard to sustain in states without significant forests.
On submissions: if you blocked global news websites, at least a quarter of the top posts would be gone.

On comments: they could solve a shitload of the complaints about comments by just adding meta-votes, like those on Slashdot, and letting individual users define their own filters for what they do and don't want to see. Automating and letting the community manage itself would be so much more efficient and fair than relying on mods, or the extremely vague and unhelpful generic vote button.
Same here, I just click an URL and I'm in, I close and its gone.

Compared to all the other gymnastics one has to make to get the exact same functionality, plus having to install malware and whatnot, it's a much better UX.
I don't buy that for a second. To C-level executives and the members of a board, if we're paying for an office, 99% of the time they're gonna say "use it". They're not thinking about sunk costs.
