Do you mean biological neurones or perceptrons? There have been publications about both regarding XOR. If the latter, be aware that this was only about single layers and that perceptrons have an unnecessary restriction on the way they can combine inputs.

The move to use mobile devices as controllers has always terrified me. They are just way too user-disempowering to be reliable like that.

Nah. They normally have the default "allow system cookies" which is untickable.

What annoys me are the "Legitimate Consent" option on all 9000 cookie vendors. There never seems to be a "No to all" button on those.

A cookie like that doesn't need to contain any personal information and therefore does not need a user's consent to store under GDPR. As a cookie it does need the user to be notified (ePrivacy Directive aka its 2009 "cookies law" update), but that is/can be covered as part of the original request that the user clicks to reject optional cookies.

The only reason to forget that a user said no is because it's a hostile interface designed to get users to give in and give their "consent".

Warren Buffett may have been lucky to meet Munger. He credits Munger with getting him off buying “cigar butts” and instead focusing on excellent businesses (pricing power, barriers to entry, etc) at fair prices which is largely where Buffett’s wealth expanded the most.
That's probably what I did. Thinking back, the first time it happened, it just took about 10-15 seconds to shut off. The next time, when I was back at my home airport, it wouldn't stop running at all and I think I turned the fuel cutoff to get it to stop.
Nope! Anything related to software development is fine. Even advice and opinion pieces are welcome!
Cookies for functionality that's necessary, i.e. expected by the user, are completely legal without any consent or notification.

So we replace full time employment with $14.5k annually? And people are supposed to survive on that, and celebrate the ushering in of tech?

Someone working an entry level fast food job earned vastly more than that per year.

Let's redo your math using realistic numbers and then we can see what's possible or not.
There's no need to be so defensive. HN has a lot of web developers and, for better or worse, docker is an integral part of their workflow. So any guide brushing off "yeah just remove docker" with no further explanation will naturally be met with incredulity...
Wouldn't making a backend service be better all around? All CRDT data could be stored elsewhere. The service could be easily updated and changed, and without changes the database. Any database could be used. Could have LDAP integration and other services.

I'm sure I don't understand CRDTs. Can they be used with database changes that are not part of the CRDT history? That is, can they be added to an existing database with other clients?
Even when my predominant os was windows, i didn't found any replacement of thunderbird(it was before firefox made the quantum update)
Reminds me of the Therac-25: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25
I tried organic just for the family. It’s next to impossible to keep plants alive and weeds out. How did people do it before NPK and glyphosate? It’s probably climate dependent and contingent on not having cross continental pests. The first year Japanese beetles pretty much ate my whole crop over the span of 3 weeks.
> So only the rich can drive and park? FWIW, my city charges £6.70/hour for parking and it's still impossible to find a spot.

I definitely understand that parking can be a major expense, but I do believe that if the cost of parking is the tipping point (and not the cost of fuel, insurance, registration, repairs/maintenance, and likely regular car payments w/ interest...), then it's a symptom of a larger problem. Car ownership is by definition expensive, and the better approach is to work on making it unnecessary for people to own a car, rather than deciding that we have to further subsidize the car and fossil fuel industry by giving away/underpricing parking.

And yes, I'm definitely sympathetic to the fact that in many places, it's just necessary to own the car in order to live life. But market priced parking is actually part of the incremental solution to change that: it is cheaper to enforce and brings in more revenue which can be directly used to solve those problems, by improving public transit and infrastructure for alternatives to cars. Or it can go to tax rebates/incentives to use these alternatives.
Perhaps, but whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? When did the media - dare I say, journalists - become the judge, jury and executioner? The Sunday Times and Channel 4 did how much follow up in the Jeffrey Epstein case? But instead we get allegations about a third rate actor?
Correct. Lets you skip the "connect a keyboard/mouse/monitor" thing though.
Also keep in mind that they destroy crops before they ever go to market, if they produce too much. This is how capitalism works, you have to waste resources to keep the prices stable.
The garage door obstruction sensors are located inside the garage, so it technically might be an indoor product.

Although, the possibility of a garage being oriented such that the sunlight would directly hit the sensors while the garage door is open seems like it could be a not infrequent occurrence.
Those are _more_ rules than normal people have to follow. The whole point is there is no special exemption for Congress though people seem to think there is.

Should there be even more strict rules for Congress than there are? Sure! But it’s not because they currently aren’t subject to insider laws.
> Deny on the other hand causes the same question to come up again and again.

Not in my experience. I click deny almost everywhere, even if it takes more clicks, but rarely do I see the banners come up again in a second visit. Tracking my choice is a functional cookie after all.

I do, however, simply close the tab when the banner occupies half the window (or I use reader mode to bypass it altogether). That's just obnoxious.
I am heavily critical of Apple for a number of different reasons, and if they weren't so heavy handed with their control then there would be third party options out there. But utlimately I very much agree and I think Apple deserves praise for that. I wish more companies would invest in it (although to some extent I concede that it is a luxury that deep-pocket companies can afford that smaller companies can't).
The pitch could use a bit of work. I had to muster a lot of willpower to read all those paragraphs to figure out what the product even does. It would greatly benefit from more straightforward writing.

When I clicked, I hoped that it could manage the tedium of dealing with emails:

- Negotiating meeting dates and adding events to my calendar.

- Combining pointless corporate emails into an executive summary, or deleting them as they come.

- Surfacing metadata when appropriate: the phone number of the person I should call, directions to a mentioned place, profiles of mentioned people.

A good executive assistant gets stuff out of the way. They reduce friction and let you focus on work that matters. "You have to be in Frankfurt? Here are your tickets. You are checked in. A taxi will pick you up in the afternoon. Your hotel is booked. I sent the address to your phone". There is so much low-level tedium

To me, this tool feels like ChatGPT with access to my emails. You still have to converse with it, ask it specifically for what you want. Instead of magically sorting the things I don't want to deal with, it handles the thing I should be dealing with: working with other humans.
We can do both, but clearly the senses that mammals have are well adapted for existence on Earth.
Can't wait for most of these companies to disappear once the hype dies down and the money dries up. Generative AI in its current form is a huge letdown.

In this feminism analogy the patriarchy would be the bourgeois not the proletariat.
A network of "wardriving" drones that use semi-trucks and box trucks as charging hubs while in transit is the next innovation of short distance delivery.
Are there any examples of companies turning a GAAP profit using generative models that aren’t selling the shovels, but actually using them to dig?

Oh he was right for sure.
Oh, for sure, though attempting to rewrite all those graphics routines sounds like a nightmare.

So weird how Palm got stuck in a halfway state between architectures like that. I suppose it's not too dissimilar to where Apple was mid 90s with the 68k->PowerPC transition in MacOS.

Ah wait, this isn't Reddit. Well anyhow we'll see I suppose. My money would be more on unfreezing and reheating bread instead, dough rising takes too long for practical sandwich creation.
Nearly all of whom use pesticides.
We already have robots that make sandwiches. And robots that make bread. And robots that order sandwiches and bread. And robots that deliver sandwiches and bread.

So maybe it’s not one robot, but 3-4 robots that interface with each other.
That is super badass and I'd love to have something like that.

Does the factory display/controls use the canbus to do their work? How much stuff can you reasonably do through that? Do you know if it varies between manufacturers?

I'm not, I'm assuming it'll average out.

It's no more likely on average that the current owner is an enthusiast that's extending the usable lifetime of the vehicle than the next owner.
A single person can have different standards for different situations. Your plane crash example is not about guilt, it's directly about life and death. The threat of being wrong about Russell Brand's alleged sexual assault is quite far removed from my own fear of death. If I mistakenly believe the allegations, I get a personal lesson in the risks of jumping to conclusions and trust YouTube a bit less, but I can still rest relatively easy knowing that criminal courts in the US still use the presumption of innocence. If I mistakenly believe in Brand's innocence, I trust myself a little less, and the next time I find out about a famous stranger's rape allegations I read into it and ask myself whether the denials read like Brand's denials.

But I digress. In this case, YouTube, not a random commenter on Hacker News, had a decision to make. Consider these four possibilities:

1. YouTube demonitizes, allegations are false. YouTube gets social ire from people online and angry politicians, and a few complaints from advertisers, but even the angry people will probably continue to use YouTube due to switching costs.

2. YouTube demonitizes, allegations are true. YouTube pats itself on the back in hindsight. Little changes, but the status quo was good for YouTube anyway.

3. YouTube doesn't demonitize, allegations are false. YouTube temporarily loses a few advertisers before the truth comes out, but things return to the status quo in a few months.

4. YouTube doesn't demonitize, allegations are true. A few advertisers leave for a year or longer. News organizations eagerly field complaints from advertisers and disgruntled YouTube employees.

None of the possibilities are devastating, including money-wise. On the other hand, the fourth possibility is worst for YouTube's reputation by a significant margin, and at a 90% chance too.
Because there's no such association.

Nobody associates Coke with the reek of bum piss because they encountered a messy billboard. This is simply an unreal line of argument.

It certainly would be interesting if we lived in a world where advertisers refused to run ads in stadiums of losing teams, ran their ads only on sunny days, and only on positive, uplifting tv episodes while entirely avoiding shows about serial killers. We can fantasize, but the actual world has never worked this way.
I don't know, it's not a subject I've followed closely. My comment was based on an article today in Le Figaro (French daily paper) [0] about how the EU proposed to prolong the authorization of glyphosate use for ten more years, since there was no conclusive evidence that it's harmful. However, apparently states still have to deliver authorizations for use themselves, and the EU calls on them to be careful about any harmful effects on "small mammals" and underground water. The article doesn't say anything about when it's allowed to be used. I've checked French Wikipedia which doesn't seem to say this, either.

'Privacy' is in the title of the article, not 'privacy policies'. Reducing 'privacy' to just privacy policies is overly reductive, let alone speculative that that's what the author did. Regardless, assuming it is privacy policies, what about their privacy policies, specifically? What does Chrome's policy state that's so egregious that Safari's doesn't?
About once every 4-5 weeks my car beeps at me whilst driving along admonishing me to say that I shouldn't be putting it in P/N while driving. Obviously, I've done no such thing. Each time about a second later, it realises its mistake and cancels the message, but it's still enough to make you take your eyes off the road to look at its stupid message.

Apparently, it's a faulty sensor on the gear lever, but it seems crazy it seems to have one sensor to detect P/N for this message and another one to actually disengage the gears for parking / neutral.
they should stop the joke of "formally known as" (which was funny for about half an hour) and just say twitter
My Honda software is definitely not the pinnacle of UX design, but at least they got that part right. You can't even view the popup when the car is moving. If you pull it up when you're stopped and then start moving, it goes away and is replaced with a warning about trying to read while driving.
I'm always looking out for a lightweight nice touchscreen device with a sufficiently large screen for reading sheet music.

The Gvido sheet music reader is discontinued (and was super expensive). Other eink displays are also super expensive, and non-eink tablets tend to be too small, maxing out at around 10". The Yoga Book 9i with dual 13" oled displays could be tempting but is again overkill to get a $2000 device just to read sheet music...
The IAB consent dialog is the worst, as it makes you consent to the entire advertising industry.

Those legitimate interests, however, are bullshit. Just because they claim it, doesn't mean it's true.

For instance, a DPA just claimed that Facebook can't claim a legitimate interest for behavioral advertising, so they'll have to ask for consent. Which will be interesting, because they won't be able to refuse service to those that decline.

Greed is fine but ideally we would also have competition where one can vote with their wallet for a less connected old-school car.
But those same financial incentives are why people aren't staving all over the place. Every attempt to move too far from capitalism just results in mass starvation.
The big one is metaprogramming. Most people that have never really used it grok how powerful (and clean and maintainable) it has become in recent versions of C++. I work on a few different C++20 code bases and the amount of code that is no longer written because it is generated at compile-time with rigorous type safety is brilliant. It goes well beyond vanilla templating, you can essentially build a DSL for the application domain.

Another one, with a more limited audience, is data models where object ownership and lifetimes are inherently indeterminate at compile-time. Since C++ allows you to design your own safety models, since they are opt-in and not built into the compiler, you can provide traditional ownership semantics (e.g. the equivalent of std::unique_ptr) without exposing the mechanics of how ownership or lifetimes are resolved at runtime. Metaprogramming plays a significant role in making this transparent.

Those are the two the matter the most for my purposes. They save an enormous amount of code and bugs. Rust has a litany of other gaps (lack of proper thread local, placement new, et al) but I don't run into those cases routinely.

The data structure thing you mention would be annoying but to be honest I rarely design data structures like this. For performance, most data structures tend to rely on clever abuse of arrays.
That scenario is so comically dystopian. Nobody cares about the terms because they can't do anything about them anyway, so just leave people alone.. Also, stop changing the terms so much.

My Samsung phone has forced updates even worse than this. It will download an update silently in the background and will nag me with a new notification every couple of hours. It will let me delay the update for a random length of time before just rebooting on its own. The last update let me delay for something like 10 hours, but I've also had it reboot in the middle of the day while I was using my phone to show something to a customer.

This has also soft-bricked my device more than once. I use a custom launcher, and Samsung apparently doesn't like that, so the system updates can get me stuck in a loop where the launcher repeatedly crashes.

There is no way at all to disable auto updates or stop the process once an update has been acquired. I've even tried blocking IPs in my router, but it seems to change addresses now and then. My only option is to just always keep WiFi off. It thankfully won't download over the cell network.

I'm never buying another Samsung product. I hate this phone more than I have any other piece of technology.

The idea that some company can at any moment force my device to download gigabytes of unknown data and run anything they want on my device without my knowledge or consent is just reprehensible. I paid over a thousand dollars for this piece of crap and I don't even own it. It's utterly ridiculous.

Every few weeks I get a new notification that the Samsung EULA has updated. I just dismiss them. It's not like it matters if I agree or not.
Adobe is already incorporated genAI into core product and will start pricing for compute units. This is part of their core product, not a tool being sold to other people to build genAI products
Of course! I think it would be pretty funny.
This reminds me of when Signal messenger locked users out of their chats until they set a device PIN several years(?) ago. The fact that people may have been in the middle of important conversations was apparently not a concern.
Making an AI that can paint anything can produce a copyright infringing work by being asked to paint Mickey Mouse with sufficient detail.

It doesn't make the AI an infringing work. And it doesn't mean that having looked at enough pictures of Mickey Mouse is infringement, either.

The only instance of infringement is the output.
Also, beer isn't the deal it used to be. I was recently charged $9 for a corona at a dive bar in Los Angeles, and that was the cash price.

Typical Sequoia "think piece" meant to bring in tier-2 and tier-3 VCs onto the AI hype train, further bolstering their own position. I don't even think Sequoia believes in AI per se, they're just chasing the next shiny ball. It's genius if you really think about it.

A year ago, they were gushing over SBF. There's no due diligence here, there's no product market fit. It's a legal pump and dump. Much like crypto, there will be bag-holders, but it won't be Sequoia or a16z, they're far too smart for that.

If they get lucky and hit a home run, they were the visionaries all along. Their hubris is frankly quite admirable. The world goes 'round, and the rich get richer.

Except that’s not what happened. Starlink was not active in Crimea at the time because the US had sanctions in Crimea. He got a request from the Ukrainian government. He has stated if he got a request from the US government he would have activated it.
That last part about iMessage, that's the one where I'm doubtful.

I know that Europeans use other apps, I live here. But my point is simple, you buy an iPhone, iMessage is enabled by default. You're going to message someone else on iMessage for sure. So I just don't trust it.

Like, here in Norway, iPhones are very common. iMessage is so ubiquitous. Sure that's only a couple mil users, but it's also just one country. The EU is many countries.
