Actually, a tutor can be someone who plans and guides your learning process, as you described. But there is nothing to stop you as the student from inverting it, designing and planning your own leaning goals, and then going to a tutor for specific advice.

I do this for foreign languages. I plan out everything and my own syllabus and goals, and hire a tutor for speaking practice. I give instructions and context to the tutor so they can best help me.
Show HN: A TaskWarrior client for mobile, in flutter
For the terminal junkies like myself that use taskwarrior a lot but that need to also manage tasks on the go.

Free, open source, in flutter. You can find it in the Play Store already for Android. Eventually on iPhone.
Looks like the work of a product manager changing shit up in order to justify their salary.
Yeah low-key the worst part about SF is that it's in America (it gets all the problems of being the most liberal city in a conservative country), but also if it were in Europe it would be one of the worst cities there.

Honestly, that's why it's so polarizing - if you like the walkable layout/high density thing, you probably don't care about the better personal economic opportunities vs. Europe and if you're looking to get rich, you want a compound on the beach anyway.
I dunno, from my experience of having small server room in company I work for with 2 AC units the devices will fail when they want to fail and aside from cleaning maintenance never found actual issue before it happened in both units.

It does make sense because grades no longer mean anything if everybody gets the same grade.

The most informative grades would be uniformly distributed, it’s an opportunity for the geniuses to shine and give a signal to profs about who to hire for their PhDs.
Spring owner here. It's a cool little car. The main disadvantage is that AC recharging is extremely slow (6.6 kW three phase) because they skimped on battery cooling. And opening/closing the doors feels more like a 1990 Fiat Panda. It obviously doesn't go fast on the highway but in the city it's great, the electric motor gives it surprising acceleration for a 33 kW engine.

It's 3.70 meters long, definitely not an SUV. It's not only the smallest EV (the Volkswagen e-UP is unobtainable at least in Italy) but one of the smallest cars in general.
> Please don't call my point of view embarrassing -- that's uncalled for.

I'm not calling your position embarrassing, I'm calling the position you think I have embarrassing. What's uncalled for is reducing what I'm saying to this

> I don't think the attitude of "let Sony's gaming business be as big as it already is, but don't allow Microsoft's gaming business to try to expand to match Sony's" is healthy. That's literally anti-competitive.

And then getting pissy when I point out that you tried to make it sound like I'm some shill for Sony. I'm literally in other parts of this thread also criticizing Sony. The reality is you're saying untrue, uneducated things about the state of the gaming market. Again Microsoft is already much bigger than Sony's gaming market. Christ, Activison is almost as big as Sony's gaming market.

> What the rest of Microsoft's business does, or the rest of Sony's business does, outside of gaming, has nothing to do with anything here.

Again, Microsoft > Microsoft Gaming > Sony Gaming.

And why would we pretend other parts of Microsofts business don't exist just because Sony isn't also doing it?

Who has their operating system on billions of computers, where they can sell games?

Who has the best capacity to use AI in their businesses? AI is the next step for effective anticheat, which is otherwise a losing battle.

Who is the only feasible steward of the language that lots of games are developed on?

Who owns LinkedIn, where game developers look for jobs?

Who owns the highest selling game ever and has already filled it with microtransactions, essentially printing money?

I don't see how we can ignore any of those things. I look at all of this and it's alarming how fucked we are if Microsoft decides to make all our lives worse, and that's just in gaming. The worst Sony could do has already been done cause Sony are shitheels in their own way.
I'm pretty sure it was Tim Ferriss' podcast, but I'm having no luck finding the interview.
But there exists a large group of people, especially here on HN, that want to execute a series of transport/car revolutions all in short order. There is the connected car, the electrification of cars, the auto-drive car, and the "end to individual car ownership". Many players in the industry want to push all those things to happen at once. Tesla actively pushes 3/4 of them. So it is natural for people to draw parallels, to see one revolution as integral to another.

I think Mazda is unique among brands where they are not really pushing high tech stuff but instead focusing on the 'joy of driving' by keeping things limited and traditional. I know they have some sort of 'wheel' to navigate their UX and they block certain features such as touch input while driving (at least until this new model year I think). People complain that they are too old fashioned but maybe thats a good thing.

Also if someone has evidence that they do in fact collect data then I am happy to update my comment.

Firefox is also highjacking the title bar.
Car software seems to be lacking all of the explicit and implicit permissions systems that phones have. Can't disable location services, can't put the car in "airplane mode", and the on/off state of the electronics is unclear because there's always ample power available from the large car battery. Sure these levers could be a fig leaf that does nothing on phones, but some (e.g. airplane mode) are there for regulatory/safety reasons so you can be fairly confident they do what they claim.

The other issue is that a remote exploit of a moving car is potentially much more dangerous than remote exploit of a phone. Worst case with a phone is a massive breach of personal data. Worst case with a car is death.

Why do you (or author of the book) think that post-singularity AI would have anything but passing interest (positive or negative) in how humans feel?

If the answer is that it is possible, thus we need to worry about it, I'd like to argue that much, much more likely and much more worrisome scenario is powerful AI in hands of evil humans.

There's a certain point where more income has diminishing returns, especially if it means someone in the household is putting off their dreams of entrepreneurship.

Most people who become entrepreneurs have this itch/calling, where they simply CAN'T do anything else (for long). Ignoring the call means living an unfulfilled life.
Argument from authority. Sorry, not buying it.

The physics/economics definition is basically that time average = ensemble average. (The term "expectation value" is used in the Nature paper you reference, but that amounts to the same thing.) But individuals do not experience the ensemble average. A condition on averages is not the same as a condition on individual outcomes.
It’s already cheap to just use a larger water heater as the thermal battery.

Few households use more than 80 gallons of hot water per day which is still within the normal range of hot water heaters. Just add a timer so it doesn’t kick on until powers cheap and you’ll be good to go. At least assuming your cheap electricity window is long enough to fully heat the water.

This is one of the reasons people overestimate the need for grid energy storage. People time shift electricity to the night because it’s cheap. If it was cheaper 10AM-4PM then significant demand would shift to that window.
Twitter is more alive, vibrant and honest than ever, so this seems like a strange comparison.
I have a 32X, as CorrectHorseBat said they're the same device. WiFi is indeed unreliable. I later switched to a Belkin AX3200 (RT3200) which works much better. That Belkin is also sold as a near-identical Linksys model (the color differs and only one of them has LEDs for ethernet LAN ports).
The guy who generated them said he believed the phrase was a variation of "Give Jerry a raise" --- but he couldn't find/recreate it himself.

I take it as a sign of the current state of hackernews that nearly no one took the time to actually RTFA. This isnt about making apps that run on the car, this is about being able to integrate your external apps with the fleet API. Like, can external app that has permission would be able to locate the vehicle.

That said, I think the security implications are fairly important, since I expect one of the exposed features is to be able to unlock or start the car.

> Warrantless, depends on the circumstance.

Wow, that's a very different mindset than my own. Fascinating!

How about if your neighbor suspected their spouse was cheating and had a private investigator request footage from Amazon? Assuming the request was made in good faith, with a limited timeframe, and an explicit purpose?

> I'm not sure that's happening or not.

That's kinda the point, right? Police and Amazon have defined their own terms for sharing footage with no accountability to the user, and they've proven they're willing to do so.

"Without a warrant" really just means "on a whim."

> I don't see in the article where it says they typically request weeks of footage. Are you exaggerating to strengthen your point?

Whoops. Misremembered, so I suppose so. I'll edit.
Author shared screenshots but didn't mention the color "purple" or the shade of purple that is. Why every AI thing is now purple? Look at Shortwave, the really nice email app, they also turned AI and as a result have turned purple now. Look at their homepage.

Too me it very much looks like when every when was integrating crypto in their tech in some form and they were all using these similar colors and gradients.

Now when I see a site like this it basically turns me off. I really liked Shortwave, it was supposed to be the next Google inbox or better. Now it's AI.
It seems we are so amazingly primitive that we still think touch screens are a pretty neat idea for anything.
But I’m sure analog controls will come back at some time in the future: First in really expensive cars, as expression of luxury. Only cheap cars will still have the cheap touch screens. Slowly, the old new way of interaction will trickle down to anything else.
Like it went for the digital watch, ubiquitous for a short time, then a return to analog. Although those Casios seem to have a retro-retro comeback lately. I think even real keyboards might be a cool feature of future high-end smartphones.

These kinds of associations can easily be, and frequently are, spurious. Unless someone can find a reason why mushrooms might prevent cancer, I don't think the result is helpful.
Interesting, I have an HDR monitor but never tried actually using the HDR function. It does seem to make a difference and feels nicer on the eyes. I'll have to see how it affects games too.
Wow -- this is quite impressive. I'm delighted to see new offerings in this space. Kudos to the team!
I spent some time tinkering with the deployed preview (https://docs.scalar.com). I liked the thoughtful implementation around customizations / versioning, etc.

Some places I hit friction while exploring:
- It was tough to close the "Test request" window.
- I wasn't sure how to interact with the product without more trial and error.

Two suggestions I thought might be useful:
1. Add OpenAPI linting to the editor. Right now it works with invalid specs as long as long the JSON is formatted correctly.
2. Allow users to import an example spec from the initial Getting Started page. (The editor is a good home for it, too, but I would have found it sooner).

I think it depends very much on how they're used. If they're set up to flag stolen vehicles and vehicles owned by fugitives and don't store irrelevant license plate numbers long-term, I have no complaints.

I think in practice they often record every plate and store the data long-term, which can be used to track people who are not active targets of an investigation.

I agree that Meta doesn't seems like the type of company that would attract that type of passion. My comment is more that, even with that prior, the near total lack of it was still surprising.

> Again, Microsoft > Microsoft Gaming > Sony Gaming.

This is where you're wrong.

Microsoft gaming is around $15B in revenue per year. They sold 8.6 million Xboxes in 2022.

Sony gaming is around $30B in revenue per year. They sold 19 million Playstations in 2022.

Sony gaming is literally twice as big. Which is why it's fine for Microsoft to compete. (And see my edit in my previous comment.)

And please stop calling names or implying them. I'm not getting "pissy" and I've certainly never suggested you're a "shill". I'm done replying, because I have no interest in participating in a conversation with language like that.
> If everyone gets 90% or better on a test that reflects what you're supposed to learn then it should be celebrated as a teaching success. It is not a problem.

Then perhaps there should have been more available to be learned. If most people are above 90%, then you're holding the best back. (If you're saying that more should be taught, but not be on the test... Why?)

The only way for everyone to reach full understanding at the same time is for everyone to be the same or for some people to have been held back. I view the latter as being far more achievable than the former. I would also say that holding the best back... is probably not what we want the #1 ranked University in the world to be doing.

> A perfect educational system would have every student getting 100% on every test, right? That's the ideal. Unless, of course, that the purpose of the educational system isn't actually to educate people but instead to weed out certain classes of people.

No, a perfect educational system would not have every student getting 100% on every test because not every student is the same and also such a test fundamentally provides no information to the tester.

A perfect system would probably have every student on an individual (or near-individual) learning schedule, and even there I would expect perfectly calibrated tests to average around 50% with adjustments as required for psychological impact or to improve recall. From that, you can identify what elements need to be covered again, and what can be skipped when moving forward because they are already known.

> "We want the best" is what every employer will always say but the truth is that they really only need someone who can do the job. We as a society put way too much importance and faith in credentials.

This is probably correct for your average community college. It might be correct for a average state school.

When you get to 'literally the number one Univeristy on the planet', perhaps employers are also actually looking for the best people on the planet.

Clean home page was definitely a huge part of it:

- Google predates widespread U.S. broadband, and even early DSL was not too fast. So cutting bytes made a real difference.

-Search was not baked into the browser (search bar etc) so homepage speed really mattered

-It was memorable branding, it clearly marked Google as more focused on quality search vs Yahoo et al who were trying to be "portals" with news and listings and so forth -- no one else understood how important search was, that it could be exponentially better and a differentiator
> Right, but where are those examples?

I gave other examples in my post that you have not responded too.

> What does cocky even mean? These are corporations!

Not sure that changes anything. Cocky in this sense is Sony thinking they can get away with something because they were running high after the PS2 era.

> You need to go back to the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 era, then.
Golden Eye, Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, Banjo-Kazooie, among others.

Ok? What exactly does that have to do with Microsoft? They bought rare in 2002. I am completely missing the point you are trying to make.

> I'm of the opinion that Sony Entertainment paying for exclusivity deals with Square-Enix, is not remotely comparable to Microsoft buying a massive studio (Bethesda Softworks), with incredibly popular franchises (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom), and locking them to their platforms barely three years after.

I strongly disagree. However as I mentioned my key problem is paying for exclusive content. It is indefensible that I pay the same amount for a game on Xbox with LESS content than on PS5 because Sony paid money to try to boost the sales of their consoles.

Yes Microsoft has made mistakes, but Sony has made their own mistakes and every time they do its because they are cocky going into a new generation with a significant market advantage.

That is why I feel like Sony needs strong competition and we need these consoles to be much much closer in marketshare for both companies to actually have to fight for consumer dollars instead of Sony just getting away with whatever they want because they have the big splashy exclusive games.

> A lot of people working at Microsoft/Apple/Google are bad their jobs and should feel bad

That's the thing, I don't think they feel bad at all. Their UX departments exist solely to justify their own existence and are increasingly distant from the opinions and issues facing actual users using their products. They're still well paid, so they have no reason to feel bad.
