> In fairness to Microsoft, "half-baked" would be how I describe all of Bethesda's previous releases as well. I don't think Starfield is that far off how Skyrim or Fallout 4 was on release. Starfield's a long shot from where Skyrim and Fallout are now after years of patches and DLC, but I think not far from where they started.

I've got friends that go deep into Bethesda releases on launch and they all agree that Starfield was much more polished than Skyrim or Fallout 4 (or Fallout 76) at launch. They are convinced that Microsoft must have actually attacked Bethesda with QA resources.
You have a "reasonable expectation of privacy" in your back yard. Not in the street.
Can you clarify how being able to demonstrate the exact circumstances of an event in perpetuity is "harmful?" This seems completely counter intuitive, in fact it's a point of view regarding bodycams I've never encountered.

Most dialogue around bodycams focuses on desires for extreme punishments for police that turn off their bodycams during interactions with civilians.
Neat. Apparently it's called coning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coning

> The tips of the rotor blades move faster through the air than the parts of the blades near the hub, so they generate more lift, which pushes the tips of the blades upwards, resulting in a slight cone shape to the rotor disc. This is balanced by centrifugal force. If rotor RPM drops too low, the rotor blades fold up with no chance of recovery.

> Rotors are typically designed with washout (twist) so that lift is relatively uniform along the blades. However, because lift increases quadratically with airspeed, coning still occurs at higher RPMs.

> Some helicopters such as the Bell UH-1 Iroquois are designed with "pre-coned" blades, which are curved downwards but lay more flat in flight.
On release, CyberPunk 2077 was so bad that CD Projekt issued an apology and offered refunds. The previous poster's entire point was delaying Starfield to make sure it didn't end up like CyberPunk 1.0. I don't get the comparison between Starfield 1.0 and CyberPunk 2.0.

I’m interested in hearing more about this. It might not pertain to the data I’m thinking specifically as it would be scraped but finding out where the holes are and creating proprietary data around that would be a consideration. However, I’m interested in diving in deeper on alternative data if you have some solid sources I can brush up on.
At those success rates, he's going to need a lot of students working for long enough to exit to yield statistically significant results. How long has his program been open?
> You are not entitled to pass because you are average and your parents are rich.

You should be entitled to pass if you can successfully demonstrate your understanding of the subject matter in question. Proposing to curve passing grades down "UNTIL a certain percentage fails" is just... nutty.

> You are not entitled to pass because you are average and your parents are rich.

Yes, which is why grades should be based on "did you learn?", not "do the grades look like a proper bell curve?"

> There is some low income kid who actually is exquisite who should get that seat in the exquisite class.

A low-income kid is the least likely to be able to take the risk of going to a college that's intentionally trying to flunk people out even if they're competent at the subject matter.
They’re giving them away for a small monthly fee with their console subscription. How the hell is this any different, if not worse, than the anti-competitive behavior that Microsoft was brought to court for in the 90s?

What you are describing is not "any set of axioms." (Rather, it is a pre-existing concept.)
this is great context, it definitely can sometimes be confusing with the dual usage and sometimes not using either-or. :)
It's also sad that 10-15 years ago near-everything I used was just themed based on system/windows manager and it was possible to make those changes system-wide (with some mess if you used QT apps with gnome and vice versa, but still), and now we're locked in hellhole of HTML and CSS "native" apps
"Hallucinating" AIs sound creative, but let's not celebrate being wrong
oauth2 was the best practice way to do that back in 2014.

Now, companies like Facebook have discovered the hard way that most users don't think carefully before giving away access to their data. All it takes is one app that says "I'd like access to everything you can see on facebook please", and that's how cambridge analytica happened.

Ever since then, the vast majority of companies have locked down API's - because the company doesn't want to get in legal hot water for the actions of a third party app granted full access by the user.
Ask HN: What is your favourite Indie Hackers episode?
Saw Rob Walling was on Indie Bites this week (SFTROU is my other fav startup podcast), and this prompted me to re-listen to some of my favourite IH episodes.

I know the IH podcast is pretty popular with this community, so I’m just curious which episodes are your favourites?
Things have changed a LOT . The vast majority of Google users never even see the home page since it's integrated into the address bar of all mainstream browsers. So I guess they might as well use it for something other than pure search.

> I really hate the way events like that justified so much conspiracy-theory thinking.

Probably because the people who theorized that there had been a conspiracy turned out to be correct, and the usual bromide objections ("someone would have talked," "more than 50 people can never keep a secret," "the government just isn't that competent," etc) were shown to be entirely false.
I really wish there was an app to keep up with news that will actually have an impact on me like extreme weather, changes to the tax code, and significant changes to the economy.
I think you've changed what you're meaning by entropy, it isn't really a meaningful measure of "randomness".

Afterall, how can U(0,1) be considered to be "less random" than U(0,1000) when U(0,1000) = 1000*U(0,1). A constant factor can't change how "random" something is.
What part of "with no backups" didn't you understand?

It wasn't pioneered in EVs, it was coincidental timing. These features were always coming to all cars - but features start off in luxury vehicles, and EVs were priced in the luxury category. Go back and look at mid-to-late-2000s luxury vehicles and you'll find the features being developed there, even before the modern electric vehicles started showing up.
It’s less about the data specifically and what are some common add ons or ways to add additional value, knowing my target audience would be sales managers or key decision makers on the sales side of the industry. Obviously fancy dashboards are nice, and historical data is a want, but is there any other generalistic add ons one could add?
Practicing to solve tons of standard problems is a waste of time, it doesn't help you grow much, which is why having interesting problems on exams is way better since it gives students a better goal to aim towards. It also gives a fairer view of each students understanding, since students tend to forget everything they crammed to pass the standard questions.

> Pedantry and intellectual hazing seem endemic in academia

I wouldn't call interesting test questions pedantry or intellectual hazing. Giving tons of basic easy questions is pedantry and intellectual hazing to me, I'd rather just have the harder questions.
There is also an iFixit tear down if you’re interested. It shows the mixed reality that Ars called “Viewing the real world through a Quest 3 headset feels like living inside an old VHS tape, with all the standard-definition fuzziness that implies.”

I know some people have thought this would compete more directly with Apple’s offering in AR. It doesn’t sound like it to me. Though it is VASTLY more affordable.

Their focus on tradition appears to be partially based on their lack of resources. They are a small company and cannot afford to invest in all the latest gizmos. So they try to focus on really getting basics right. (At least thats what I have read).

Unfortunately this has also led to slow advancement in their EV efforts. I would love nothing more than an all electric Mazda 3: The first car I owned and will always have fond memories for. Instead I am forced to consider Tesla and play russian roulette with their mediocre build quality and whatever nonsense Elon comes up with (touchscreen gear shifter, stupid steering wheel etc.).

I'm in the market for a new car (preferably an EV) so i've been reading up on their EV efforts. It seems like their current plan is to lower their entire fleet average to meet government requirements in the short term while partnering up with Toyota to cross develop an EV powertrain. This resulted in them dropping their pickup truck, improving avg fuel economy across the lineup with better engines and then slowly introducing hybrids and then finally convert everything to EV. That MX-30 EV was super cool and I wish they had put more effort into it but it seems like that model ended up not working. Looking forward to seeing how the new version with the small rotary range extender works!

I had a conversation with an individual in '96 while at Burning Man. He mentioned he worked on the Kai line of products, and was quite pleased when I told him I used and loved them. This person explained he liked to talk to people under the influence and have them describe the patterns that they saw, and would then go back later to try to recreate them.

This wouldn't be some crazy lottery winning level of odds that you were that person type of chances would it? Either way, just want to express a bit of personal gratitude for your and co-workers' work.
There are some tools out there that will allow you to bind hotkeys (or at least provide a widget) to send brightness-adjustment commands via DDC/CI over the HDMI/DP cable to your desktop monitor.

I'm sure I'm remembering the "advanced search" that other sites had. I feel that those were more common back then. Granted, most of my searches back then were probably in libraries and such?

The "advanced" search UI was amusing. You would click there thinking that you could give a better search, but you often got worse results by trying to use all of the fields. Google not really having an advanced search at least let you cycle more rapidly on raw searches.

This is an awesome notebook.

Just want to note that the difference in this paper is that it works without direct access to the embedding models (encoder). So it can't design the embedding space.
Interesting. Home Assistant happened to post about this this afternoon after Mazda’s lawyers rattled sabres about the unofficial Mazda integration; they pointed to Tesla and moreover Audi VW as being much more constructive (including an official home assistant app for VW group’s on-board app platform)
Presumably that's the aspect that needs fixing.

Does anyone have a good guide to share for how to self-host one of these models and put it behind an API? I’d like to tinker with building a chatbot on my home lab server, so I guess it would need to be runnable on a VM with a few GB of RAM and a couple of cores. Or is that not possible with these kinds of models yet?

FT8 isn't actually below the noise floor if you look at the bandwith the signal is detected in, rather than the 2500 Hz reference bandwidth.

https://tapr.org/pdf/DCC2018-KC5RUO-TheReal-FT8-JT65-JT9=SNR...

Has details, but basically you should add 26 dB to account for the difference between 2500 Hz and the 6.25 Hz bandwidth each FT8 tone is detected in.
Bodycams are generally a good thing and more PDs should use them correctly. But they can put domestic violence victims in danger, too:

From https://www.nsvrc.org/sarts/toolkit/5-6

BWCs can record information about a victim's identity and whereabouts, which could potentially jeopardize a victim's safety if the perpetrator views the recording, if recorded data is handled improperly, or if that recording becomes public record. Often sexual assault takes place in areas where the expectation of privacy is high, such as a home or school, and a BWC may be seen as especially invasive in these locations. [72] The impact of BWCs on decisions to report to law enforcement is unknown, [73] but they may affect a victim's ability or willingness to speak to police. It is unknown at this time if BWCs support victims in feeling empowered.

they are more efficient long term. short term though it is 'it is cold in here turn up the heat' the time it takes a heat pump to make that happen is much longer than say a natural gas system. the NG system uses more energy though to do it in a shorter amount of time. but it happens perception wise faster.
Aside from defined.net, what are the best frontend/management tools for nebula? Last I looked it was all manual config (which is fine for most of us, but limits adoption elsewhere)
Your right to privacy is your security against unreasonable search and seizure. Fourth amendment. No wonder it's so easy for the government to infringe our rights - we are not taught we have them!
At least among nerds who were early adopters, this was an oft cited reason for their personal enthusiasm about Google versus incumbent search engines. Of course quality of results was paramount, but the spartan homepage definitely drove that segment of early success. The theory that tech adoption promoted more mainstream adoption may be more “just so”, I think that’s harder to validate (but given the adoption of computers and internet at the time, it’s probably at least partially true).
Lockheed Martin has a fashion line in South Korea, welcome to idk what were in and what to compare it to.
It was absolutely usable. It didn't use OS-standard UI controls or idioms so there was a learning curve, but many many people used it and created amazing stuff with it.

What RF transmissions, though? I literally just got off a plane where I had in flight wifi. And I was using my bluetooth headphones. Have been doing this for a while, now. So, unless that is somehow magically working without RF transmissions, than the fact that my phone had airplane mode on feels less comprehensive than you are implying.

But Cyberpunk 1.0 was an interesting game even if buggy. Starfield is just not interesting.
It comes down to transparency. How would an external observer tell that the RNG wasn't rigged?
It's a feature not a bug. Maximizing banality is being cast as safety to avoid discussing the harder problems long term. I agree that any new technology comes with risks, including serious ones, and humans should get better at managing those risks, but it's a long jump from that argument to "only we should have this new advanced technology, for your own safety", where safety is ill-defined and likely misses the very real safety risks of "only them having this new advanced technology"
I use a window shadow for that. The shadow is maybe 10-20 pixels or so.
> First, a salty mixture known as a desiccant sucks moisture out of the air, reducing its humidity. Then, some of that now-dry air moves past a wet surface. Water evaporates back into the dry air

Huh? They dried the air and then wetted it? Makes no sense, so I googled it:

> The operation of a desiccant cooling system is based on the use of a rotary dehumidifier (desiccant wheel) in which air is dehumidified. The resulting dry air is somewhat cooled in a sensible heat exchanger (rotary regenerator), and then further cooled by an evaporative cooler. The resulting cool air is directed into a room. The system may be operated in a closed cycle or more commonly in an open cycle in ventilation or recirculation modes. A heat supply is needed to regenerate the desiccant. Low-grade heat at a temperature of about 60–95°C is sufficient for regeneration, so renewable energies such as solar and geothermal heat as well as waste heat from conventional fossil-fuel systems may be used. The system is simple and thermal coefficient of performance (COP) is usually satisfactory.

I went to a friend's apartment last week and noticed their neighbor across the way has a Ring doorbell. I can understand that, if interested, the police would be able to tail me from my home to my friend's home but it's another matter that it often happens automatically, regardless of individual interest.
Just to add, Chickenhawk, as mentioned in tfa, is a great read if you're interested in helicopter flight, Vietnam Huey tactics and Vietnam R&R.
Why not? API calls are scoped to a token associated with your Tesla vehicle(s).

This API looks like it is meant to control entire fleets.

Also, like Apple devices, I assume Tesla will have master control over the cars in the same way and can brick them if needed.
So should I become a consultant then to learn more about being on the service side of things?
Is that true?

If they gave you their services for free, there'd be a limited amount of time until they could no longer give away those services at all (e.g. they run out of money). You can still technically put your own financial gains "first" if they're a necessity to being in a position to put someone else first longer-term.

It's the same reason you give what you can to charity, not just give 100% of your cash every time you have any.
> The performance and reliability of the ZFS driver leaves lots to be desired.

No wonder: it calls the zfs(1) tool and parses its output to do its work. Again. and again. and again.
Kroger buys other retailers. Their income (and their taxes) will be reduced by (amortization of) the intangible cost of the retailers bought. This is money paid to the shareholders of the retailers who sold out, which should also be counted as income of the retailing sector.

Furthermore, we now have an economy in which many so-called industries have a single-winner or have a race to become the single-winner now in progress. So just about every firm that advertises is paying uncompetitive rates for eyeballs in the media markets, every firm that accepts credit cards paying uncompetitive rates for payment processing, and seemingly every firm that wants to have more control over its pricing is paying exorbitant executive compensation for those who are supposed to bring that about. If the firm is at all profitable, the customers pay for all of that, too.
Go on CivitAI and sort by popular... There is an awful lot of nudity and anime, and SDXL struggles with both. For censored SFW image generation, DALL-E 3 now beats out SDXL by a wide margin. The SDXL resource requirements are somewhat of an issue as well, 8 GB cards barely work and that is still the largest consumer market segment.

SDXL's only real differentiation now is the ability to locally host and avoid the OpenAI / Microsoft censorship filter. Leaning into that would be a smart decision, although maybe it conflicts with Stability's attempts to raise money.
Thanks for this. I have used most of these in the 90s but had completely forgotten that they even existed until just now. You've unlocked a memory that I had long forgotten.
Not anymore with police drone and helicopter surveillance.
I don't mean to offend, but I think ironically your comment is silly.

If I understand you correctly, you think that there is no value to be added by software to a Tesla.

There are very obvious counter examples. E.g. fleet management for rental cars or 3rd party navigation (in the case of these APIs running on a phone, but using the API for e.g. the current state of charge). There are countless other possible products to be built on top of Teslas platform.
