Ah, reminds of my first car. I got a new Corolla and went on my merry way. But on the third day I found the steering stuck and extremely hard to maneuver. Scared the heck out of me, so I went back to the dealership.
They inspected the car and informed me the next day that there was nothing wrong with it and asked me to pick it up. I drive out of the parking lot, and again the steering gets stuck, and I just circle around and give them the car back, showing the live problem.
They inspect it another day, and aren't able to find anything wrong, and ask me to pick it back up.
Sure enough, I haven't even gotten to my home yet and the problem reappears, so I drive it back to the dealership.
This time they open up the car, the steering wheel and changed somethings in it and asked me to pick the car back up. Took me 4 mins of driving to land back in the same problem after which I made them refund my money.

I decided to shelve a few extra bucks and purchased a Camry from the same dealership. The second day while I was parking my new Camry, I found the same issue of the steering wheel getting stuck all over again, with this new car.
So this was surely a me-problem, and not the car problem. After some analysis I relaized that I was turning off the car at red lights, without shifting to park. So when I turned it back on, the steering would lock itself. But if I shifted to park first then it would work perfectly!
You're touching on a real opportunity, going down a open hardware canbus-dash computer.

That's a 2.3% drop in real pretax income. The drop is likely due to inflation. It's still probably an increase in nominal pretax income.
I agree that bdangubic's daughter is a threat to Humanity.
Right, it seems like with celebrities no press is bad press (with a couple exceptions) and Twitter feuds and drama bring more interest. But doing it on behalf of a company can only look bad.

The obvious example is Musk who regularly makes himself look like an idiot, though I think the kind of whiny defensive posts mentioned in this article look way worse.

Somewhat surprisingly, I think Yan LeCunn does a decent job of posting fairly aggressive tweets but not looking like a whiner, crazy or someone shouting pointlessly into the void.

Just arrange two branches in a bonfire. Most humans will tend to create a 90 degree angle.

As any other animals, we are brain wired to recognize symmetry. Is our main way to find a desirable mate with good genetics or to detect a predator ambushed so is essential in our survival.
We'll see. Don't forget that AI + robots is a dangerous combination on its own, in more than one way.
It makes a lot of sense to unify web and geographic search in a seamless way. Many users would prefer not to have to grant permissions twice when they do a search like "<product> near me".

Show HN: Client Vector Search – Embeddings and Semantic Search with 5 Lines
Hey HN, we're excited to show you client-vector-search, a client-side library that helps you embed, store, search, and cache vectors in your browser or node env. We needed it at https://searchbase.app and that's why we've built it.

with it you get:
1. easy setup: you only need to add 5 lines of code to build a semantic search

2. no embedding api needed: you don't need an api and have to pay for it unless ure scaling up millions

3. faster search: modern hardware is better than cheap cloud computers (0.5vCPUs)

4. zero latency: no back-and-forth with server-side

5. easy integration with our api if you scale fast: 10x cheaper than OpenAI and you don't have to pay for Pinecone et. al.

play with it: https://clientvectorsearch.com

install the library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/client-vector-search

check our repo: https://github.com/yusufhilmi/client-vector-search

find us on twitter, hit us up with questions:

Interesting about OpenAI is that they can use old models to generate new training sets. For them it's cheap. Example of that would be the use of GPT-4 to generate sets tailored for training smaller or MoE models. Which is hard to do manually.

Really accelerating AI development, with humans in the loop for now.

Jokes aside, IMO the next great "appliance" is the personal robot. It basically follow you everywhere, witnesses/records everything you do (for only your benefit/access hopefully), carries/lifts/moves things for you, fetches things for you, holds things for you, can do emergency services. Can walk a mountain with you.

There was once a cartoon where a robot is instructed to protect it's "primary" from rain and proceeds to swat away all the individual drops of rain from it. A ridiculous parody, but... think about it.

But yeah ... sex robots will absolutely be a thing. Might HAVE to be the thing for the female clientele with insemination abilities to continue the existence of the human race.
> longer jail for the same crime, higher rates of homelessness, higher rates of suicide, lower educational outcomes, shorter life spans, less friends on average, ...

And outcomes are worse for Black men in almost all categories and have been so for some time. Yet the response to negative outcomes for Black people is to blame "black culture." Yet there's no blaming of white culture. Instead this is a crisis we have to do something about. C.f. crack vs fentanyl epidemics.
It is my understanding that GDPR and CCPA both specify that consent is only needed for non-essential cookies (or some nebulous term they use) and you can make the argument that storing user preferences are essential. The laws in question don’t, however, have as strong language for the reverse case, i.e. you can ask for consent for cookies that may be considered essential and thus forbid yourself from storing the preference to deny resulting in harassment.
Every large company does similar things, but essentially no company on Earth is capable of doing it at the scale that Google does. This makes Google being evil a much larger problem than other large companies like Nike.
false. df classic had not been available on linux since jan 2021
When you have a linux-only scenario - say on your laptop, and servers, which is my case - innernet's simplicity and fairly-good elegance is tough to beat.

As soon as Windows/MacOS/Android/iOS clients want in on the fun, alas, you'll need something more complicated than innernet to accommodate these other clients.

So much projection when the US accuses China of backdoors ...

so the "slander" went both ways then?
And yet if we look around, in any city or town in the US, it’s easy to see there’s still garbage needing to be picked up; old buildings falling apart; sidewalks and roads in need of repair; the need for more libraries and parks, more librarians, more teachers, more doctors, more first responders, more social workers, more… everything?

At best, the public realm meets, but almost never exceeds our, needs. Oftentimes it doesn’t even do that! Sure— if you’re fortunate enough, you can avoid the system altogether (private school, private healthcare, personal assistant to organize your DMV appointment, etc), but that just proves the point: what is there to be proud of?

There’s so much that needs to be done and yet we’re not doing any of it. Instead we’re mostly coasting on the infrastructure (imagine if building highways then took as long as high speed rail today), (what’s left of the) social safety net, and institutions we created in the 50s and 60s.

I find “self-documentation” often doesn’t actually work. It’s great in theory, but often falls down, in practice.

Ah, so that's why there were always nitrogen tanks on NYC sidewalks.
Based on the second mistake, on pure speculation, I think that might've been a dealer who recently came from Eastern Europe, where typically dealer blackjacks are not announced until the end of the hand (a significant loss in EV for the players). Since never exposing a card early is the one thing that's most drilled in, exposing one is counter to training, and that might be a hard habit to break.

A lot of Eastern European casinos don't even deal the "down card" for the dealer until the players have finished.
It's an important question but I also thought it was a reasonable legal position to take. If there's a conflict between two parties, you generally would have a third party address mechanisms to satisfy concerns. For example, if someone were involved in a lawsuit and countersuit involving their employer, or with a spouse they are divorcing, you wouldn't expect them to accede to the employer's or spouse's demands. You'd probably submit your own evidence (which Newman is doing), or seek a third party.

Someone being 96 does not mean they are senile. This is even more likely to be true of someone with the likely cognitive background of someone like Newman. For example, in individuals over 90, the estimated dementia rate in one study was only around 33% (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6... this is in a general setting also, and includes a lot of individuals of many different backgrounds.

I really don't mean to be defending Newman per se (I don't really know anything about the case other than what's in the article), and I think there are good questions about representing someone where the question is competence. But reading the article it seemed like just what I'd expect if there were legal heavyweights in dispute about an issue, regardless of what's "really" going on. In fact, if anything, Newman is sort of behaving like an aggressive lawyer, which is what you'd expect if she were competent.
you can also frame it around correlation vs causation
Where are your sources? It's a radical position to claim that there is no population level difference in psychology between men and women. My position is canonical and easily googled.
There's no reason that we shouldn't fix involuntary unemployment because the same policy doesn't also automatically fix other problems.

A federal Job Guarantee does have the potential to ease housing pressures by increasing mobility and allowing people access to lower cost housing options that can ease local housing pressures in larger cities.
I always felt like SBF was a massive fraud. When someone is inflated as a genius and "the kindest billionaire" for superficial things like not driving an expensive car and not dressing appropriately, it sends alarm bells ringing to me. Acting like the exaggerated TV stereotype of a tech nerd screams "I'm covering something up", just like what happened with Theranos.
Interestingly the Tokyo Stock Exchange did not countermand an order from Mizuho in 2005 which flipped order quantity and price in yen, a rather catastrophic thing to do when the intended trade was one share for about 600,000 yen.

Regulators were… not pleased.

The Bitcoin blockchain processes a block of transactions every 10 minutes on average. Each block usually contains 2k-4k transactions. The maximum capacity is around 4k, equating to 7 transactions per second or 84 transactions per 12 seconds. (Note that 12 seconds is the confirmation time of the Ethereum blockchain).

That being said, the Lightning Network was deployed on the Bitcoin blockchain in 2018. It allows for thousands of transactions per second, thanks to a very elegant solution[1]. Unlike traditional blockchains, the Lightning Network is not blockchain-based, freeing it from the limitations we are all familiar with. However, it inherits all the security properties of its underlying blockchain. While the Lightning Network has its fair share of shortcomings, its scalability remains an open question. Nonetheless, it has been working great for over 5 years.

I have no problem with Right to Try. But it needs to have rules. Pre-registration. No charge or payments to anybody (doctor or patients). Forced publication of even negative results. etc.

Can't recall if any current tools have this, but being able to take a set of existing comments and make a new room/thread from those would help enable people who want to provide thread hygiene after the fact. Being able to do that would allow people to not be as concerned about when/where/how they start a 'thread', because... you don't always know in the moment where something will go.

I'm not sure there are Google employees with a functioning moral compass. If there are, they must have learned to just ignore it.

"“Our research in robotics is aimed at amplifying people rather than replacing them,” said Gill Pratt, CEO of TRI and Chief Scientist for Toyota Motor Corporation."

Why do CEOs make public statements such as this when the goal is humanoid robots to replace human labor, particularly in countries with declining birthrates?

MinIO is open-source, and like everything else that's open-source, you don't have to pay to use it commercially. Are you confused by what they call a "commercial license"? It's not necessary for commercial purposes; it's just their name for what the FSF calls "selling exceptions". As long as you comply with the AGPL, you don't need to buy it.
OpenAI teases DALL-E 3, which can be controlled using ChatGPT
If you're really into telephony history, the Internet Archive has "The History Of Engineering and Science in the Bell System" (3 volumes) online.

If you have to build reliable distributed systems, it's worth understanding how this was done in the electromechanical era of telephony, where the component reliability was much worse than the system reliability. "Number 5 Crossbar"[1] is worth reading, but hard to follow if you have no idea how telephone switching worked and are unfamiliar with the terminology.

Number 5 Crossbar, in current terms, was a collection of microservices. There was a big, dumb switch fabric, and "markers" which told it what to connect. Other microservices included trunks, originating registers (which listen to incoming dial digits), senders (which sent dial digits to the next switch), billing punches (which recorded toll call data for later billing), translators (which held routing tables), and trouble recorders (which logged errors.) Central offices had at least two of each resource, for redundancy. Resources were "seized" as needed from resource pools, with a hardware timeout and alarms to prevent resource lockup. If something went wrong in setting up a call, it was retried once, using different resources. If it failed on the second try, the caller got a fast busy and there was an alarm and a trouble recorder dropped a trouble card. Markers did not have persistent state. They started each call with a reset. So they could not get stuck in a bad state.

In the entire history of the Bell System, no electromechanical switching office was ever down for more than 30 minutes for any reason other than a natural disaster or a fire. It's worth understanding how they did that.

WiFi, 5G, PCIe, Ethernet, QR codes, and pretty much any other classical communication protocol uses error correcting codes where classical bits need to be sent in blocks, e.g. for PCIe6, blocks of 256 physical bytes are sent, but only 242 of information is transmitted because the rest is used to enforce some classical correlation for the purposes of error correction. We can not send smaller packets of data (unless we pad). There are probably many technical details I am oblivious to here on the classical side of things, but this "can not split things up" constraint does not seem unique to quantum correlations (entanglement).

And the way we mathematically express and model classical correlations in classical error correcting codes is virtually the same as the way to model quantum correlations (entanglement) in quantum error correcting codes.

All of this with the usual disclaimer: the quantum case is much more difficult, engineeringly speaking.
My jazz group would just take any paper sheets and either re-transcribe them or take photos/scans, send em to Dropbox, and then read them in forScore. Our whole repertoire was in Dropbox in case we had somebody sit in on a gig who needed to play lead lines or something. With Scribd and digital realbook collections, the amount of music that’s around digitally is mind blowing.

As for why an iPad, I think it’s more that either folks already have iPads, or they get them because “creatives” like using apple products. Same reason musicians will often get a MacBook instead of a dell even if they don’t need it for any particular reason. Both of those reasons would lead to the network effect of folks asking their friends/colleagues what they use, and then buying an iPad because of that.
Still, it is something I wonder about.

Coming out of the womb doesn't radically change a baby. It is obviously an important event, but a lot of important events happen in the womb, and a lot of important event happen later too. It is more of an arbitrary cutoff.

And it is not completely insane to "abort after birth". It was even suggested to someone I know. The thing is, before birth, they detected potential for some terrible disorder, the kind that result in a (likely short) lifetime of suffering. The doctor asked the mother something along the lines of: "if we find out that the newborn baby has the disorder, we can make a medical error and...".
Thankfully, it all went fine, and the baby is now a healthy middle-aged man with kids and good job.

So, what do you make of it? Could the diagnosis be done in the proper time frame, it would have been an obvious case for abortion, usually the kind of case that warrants an abortion at any stage even in places that are generally against abortion. But just because it took a few minutes after birth to get a proper diagnosis, then it becomes murder?

It is not an easy question. The point between acceptable abortion and murder is somewhere between fertilization and childhood, but where exactly? Many people in the "pro-choice" side of the political spectrum put it at birth, but it is still somewhat arbitrary. Just like the "first heartbeat" criteria of the "pro-life" camp is also arbitrary.
You realize that this is how valuations for publicly-traded companies are calculated, right? Also the networths of people whose vast majority of wealth is tied to publicly-traded shares.
This could be a good feature if there's clear guidelines on what's off-topic or undesirable by some criteria. Seems more tricky than downvoting comments which works pretty well for keeping discourse civil as interests and what's interesting is very subjective.
