Household with children is 82k -- so yes they can be half average. Of course the average HOUSEBUYER will be higher than the overall median household with children. Come on man...
More than 90% now. At this point the only meaningful player who hasn't announced their conversion to NACS is VW.
I had addressed the wider point I thought, apologies if not clear enough. The mere existence of a failure, without other data, simply isn't good evidence for anything you have claimed, and any assertion that "it's usually X" needs pretty serious support to be taken seriously. It's a complicated area, and reducing it too much leads to oversimplification at best.
Wouldn't jump to conclusions that fast tbh. BILD, Springers biggest brand, might be comparable to Fox, but Springer has more reputable stuff too. Politico was bought by them too
Disney did not get that, for Disney+ to work, there needs to be constant new, exciting releases.

As TFA says, Disney+ had a few great titles then just fizzled out. Yeah, it’s nice for little kids, but not nice enough for this kind of cost.
A lot of common error handling patterns are expressed more effecively in Rust.

For bubbling up errors you have the ? operator, then on results you have map, map_err, and, ok_and...
Hard to say what Amazon is or isn’t interested in. The success of S3 is such that significant downstream client libraries are used by people who pay for S3, enough to provide a measure of api stability, simply out of customer inertia.
I had a similar thought, if high energy particles damage/affect DNA could these events contribute in some way to a period of more pronounced speciation?
I actually tried, but it didn't work. Barnes&Noble just wouldn't let me place an order (but still let me create an account on the US store, weirdly).
Moderation, yes definitely. There’s are a couple billion users, they post a handful of comments per day and rarely post anything long enough to justify applying a transformer, so “everything posted to Facebook/Instagram” is several orders of magnitude smaller. Barely an inconvenience.

Messenger is bigger, but hardly one writes anything long enough to be suspicious. WhatsApp isn’t moderated the same way.
> When Disney+ first premiered it was criticized for only having The Mandalorian and WandaVision which were both over in the blink of an eye. Marvel, for me, has had diminishing returns since then, and I would not subscribe to Disney+ to exclusively watch anything from Marvel at this point.

> Star Wars, unfortunately, is also on the bubble with several disappointments, including the most recent Star Wars: Ashoka where I watched 50 minutes of space whales doing space whale stuff. Stretching Star Wars: Skeleton Key and Star Wars: The Acolyte out into next year, with both unlikely to be as inspired as Star Wars: Andor doesn’t convince me that $109.99 needs to leave my bank account right this very minute.

As far as I can tell, there are roughly two kinds of people:

1. People that just have too much time on their hands. Or, at least, more time than they have executive function and willpower to fill it with actual activities. They are actively looking for any kind of media consumption to make the hands on the clock move faster.

2. People for whom their time has value and products are competing to be the best use of their time.

I see so many people who appear to be in the first category and will watch anything, even stuff they admittedly find boring, just to... I don't know... run out the clock on their life.
I built a super-simple, 100% client-side chatgpt client because I wanted more control over what was sent to the API (system prompt, temperature, context window size etc): https://github.com/benrhughes/chat

I know this is a meme, but after writing a lot of Go, and now finally trying out Rust for a new project, I’m quickly coming to this conclusion.
Yeah planning on cancelling Netflix too. The value proposition just isn’t there anymore and raising price in that context is insane
I’m 100% on board with open source science.
> What is the purpose of holding some one accountable?

People have the capacity to process information, simulate the future, and act according to that intent. in other words, my definition of freewill is precisely the information processing the brain does which results in actions and beliefs. Accountability is a mechanism for groups of people to correct this process, in which ever way they agreed is the correct direction. Accountability isn't just to punish bad people... bad people hold their own accountable for doing what many would consider morally correct. So perhaps it's a way to align the thinking of groups of people.

> Why do we not punish people if something bad happens and they could not reasonably have done anything to prevent the outcome?

Because without intent, we can rest assured it's not a pattern, and instead an accident. In current society, accidental damages are more likely to be forgiven.

I'm a computationalist, so to me freewill is a computation that in practice is attributed to the individual with the brain. If that computation results in horrible actions i.e., murder, we hold the person accountable because we do not want those kinds of decisions in society. I understand this is compatibilism so my main argument against absolute determinists is that if you say there is no such thing as freewill it implies that this computation is not taking place in your brain but as a shared computation between the individual, the environment, and the rest of the universe. It's diluting where and how the information processing is taking place, and as a result it becomes possible to justify horrible actions.
Governments and Media Spread Misinformation on Gaza While Demanding Censorship
I don’t. But I do find them more aligned with my interests elsewhere. Much more so than Google, Facebook, Samsung, or the other monsters out there. Pick your poison.
a healthy paycheck seems like the only thing that allows the two to work. and a shit load of managerial layering to run interference and cross-translate requests from either side.

The AST fix is trivial. The key is getting consensus to do it. Without consensus you get a dozen different macros that do more-or-less the same thing.

When you hire someone you have taken on an obligation. The depth of that obligation depends on where you operate. I am happy I live and work somewhere where we hold companies to a higher standard.
Well, you wouldn't. It's largely a metaphysical stance rather than a scientific one[0], which I suspect is precisely why modern medicine is struggling to engage with it.

[0] Mostly. Part of it falls under Dennett's notion of an intentional stance, but that requires us to take self-report seriously, and so precludes a number of experimental designs.
What would those be though? I work at a U.S.-based software startup with 100 employees and no one makes less than $80K. Avg cash comp is just under $200k. It’s likely Convoy had a very similar profile.
Basically there was a finite amount of content and a lot of it appeared on Netflix. Then 4+ services launched and a near fixed amount of content was divided by 4. Then they doubled the price. So now for a worse discovery experience you are effectively paying 8x the price.
I think perhaps the dog is accepted as a human companion so it avoids the whole robocop scenario where we’re having autonomous robots gunning down humans.
> Providing employees with de novo severance after you know it's going under guarantees creditor lawsuits.

Citation needed. Providing executive suite with bonuses and parachutes does. Indeed, even law firms talk about this:

> Severance payments to “insiders” (generally defined under the Bankruptcy Code as officers, directors, persons in control of the business, and relatives of such individual(s)) could be subject to lawsuits to avoid or clawback the severance payments.

Fraudulent conveyance, there. No mention is made of creditors issuing lawsuits against rank and file employees.

Indeed, even for severance payments that were never in employment contracts, courts place them at/near the front of the line in bankruptcy proceedings, witness Toys R Us.

But I'd be very curious to see any cases where creditors have been able to block severance payments that are not to the C suite.
Smaller, lighter, traverses rough terrain better. How will your mini tank deal with stairs or rubble? Rocket launchers also don't have recoil.

Edit: Why would a robo dog necessarily fall over? They could take a wide stance and essentially become a tripod if they need stability.
Big, but not quite as big as it seems: Toyota is lagging badly in EVs, which made up only 2% of its sales last year, and even that's a big improvement on the previous 0.4%.

But definitely a win for Tesla, since NACS will now be effectively universal (in the US) and Superchargers more popular than ever.
No, because the book was still bought in the first place. In all your examples someone still bought a book which helped ensure the creators of it got paid.

Using piracy from the beginning ensures nobody gets paid.
Can you though? NordVPN for instance comes to $67.5 for the first year and then $120 every year. I know there are cheaper options too, but not that much. Plus they still have to buy the subscription. And then dealing with the hassle of the VPN.
As a human, this looks terrifying. Imagine being attacked by robot dogs. Now imagine being attacked by robot dogs that have rocket launchers!

Straight out of a Fast & Furious movie. You can(!) make this shit up.

But as a person in tech, where all my values are directed towards "making a better world"... this also goes against every ideal we have. Unless you count living in a world where we have the ability to exterminate a large amount of people without proportional retaliation as a "better world", in a non-nuclear way.

We don't use biological weapons, so why use seeing robots with rockets on them?
Oh yeah I forgot, we can't "catch a disease" from these robots, and they have a "limited" damage capability, unlike bio-warfare that can go out of hand and can poison lands.

Coincidentally, the second point also means that we'll have to make a lot of them, and gosh darn it we'll have to build more factories and supply jobs to people. Wait a min...

I'm really happy that less marines will be put in harms way when they try to launch missiles from their shoulders (also crazy if you think about it too much), but they did sign up for it, and they're not facing an army that can comprehend what's coming towards them.

I've got competing opinions in my head, but one thing is for sure, autonomous warfare can either be a chess game that countries play (as a proxy for all the human lives), or the final game we'll play.
Hackers are targeting accounts on Kodex, a platform that connects law enforcement agencies and tech companies and which is designed to verify emergency requests for customer data, according to multiple online conversations between hackers viewed by 404 Media.
Screenshots from one of the compromised accounts shows a panel where a law enforcement officer, or a hacker, can potentially “create a new request.” The screenshots show a wide range of companies such as tech giants Meta and Microsoft’s LinkedIn; cryptocurrency exchanges Binance and Coinbase; social media platforms Pinterest, Discord, and Snapchat; financial service Fidelity, and gaming platform Roblox. The compromised account appears to belong to a national police force, but the screenshots do not include the agency’s full name.
Did Tirzepatide have any negative side effects for you psychologically speaking? I have been on and off the drug because I've found it harder to concentrate and affects my work performance - perhaps the lowered blood sugar gets to me. That and mild depressive effects.
When reducing copyright terms or eliminating copyright comes up, there’s always someone posting about how horrible it’ll be if the rate of creation of new media plummets, and I just cannot relate.

I’m not even going to get through every video game that’s probably worth playing, that already exists, before I die, and that’s a fairly new medium. Music? TV? Film? Books? LOL. LMFAO.

If all publishing magically entirely stops tomorrow, it’s not like I’m going to run out of probably-good media to “consume”. Not even close. Affect on QOL would be basically zero.
> (...) leverage the lower cost and higher throughput of object storage like S3 (...)

What do you mean by "lower cost (...) of object storage like S3"? Isn't S3 terribly expensive? I recall S3 costs around 10$/month per TB you park there without doing anything to it, and AWS charges basically for everything you do to those objects over a network.
Given Toyota Busy Forks and Subaru Solterra are effectively the same vehicle, I'm guessing Subaru will also tag along for the ride to the promised utopia of NACS.
"Robo doggo! Get in the house and get to the second floor and provide armed over watch out of the west facing windows!"
“Instead of having a Marine handle the weapon system, manipulate the safeties, we could put a remote trigger mechanism on it that allowed it to all be done remotely,

If its remotely activated with the same control channel as the trigger, that seems like less of a "safety" and more of a "shooty".
This appears to solve a bunch of my current issues, so for me, it's the right app at the right time. I've signed up and giving it a go, and it does what is says on the label. Great work, and thanks for making it flexible enough to add other web-apps and configurable.

What I like so far - per-app tabs, great to keep my current browser from being unnavigable, ability to add other apps using different logins, so I can share a multi-login set of tabs in one system rather than having different personas or multiple browsers. I know a lot of this can be done with a bit of effort manually, but it's just 'nice' to have it there for you.

What I don't like - sluggish start/load time. Lack of clarity about the built-in apps and how they connect to anything else you're running. The bookmarks function I haven't got my head around yet.
Considering:

- health insurance rarely pays for what they do, balance bill you several thousands of dollars every time you have a regular check up for an incurable health issue, and it often requires legal notices and lots of lost work hours on the phone with debt collectors, insurance, hospitals

- rent figures don't include my $200 electric bill, $200 water bill, $70 internet bill that comcast decided to charge me $170 last month out of nowhere, $50 trash bill, another $200 in maintainence just to keep the place livable because the landlord won't do it for you

- transportation isn't cheap. a rock hit the bottom of my car last month on the highway and it cost $700 to repair. tires wore out and that costs $1000. DMV charge me $600 a year just for the hell of it. insurance costs $200/month. other costs are upwards of $200/month just to use the damn thing. and then there's parking, energy costs, fastrak costs, ...
Atop a chinese-made Unitree dog? Huh. Did the DoD learn nothing from ceding drone supremacy to DJI?
I think that is a case where the percentage chart is deceptive.

My take is that C has probably remained steady — all the new binaries in iOS are made up from the other three.
Freight broker that wanted to use technology to automate the work of finding trucks, managing the communication between truck, shipper and facilities, and auditing the job of moving the load.

But the job is very high revenue (thousands of dollars per cargo depending on the distance) but low profit (5%-10%) in these times.
The big difference is that traditional news orgs do things like retract/update articles, and do not outright fabricate things.

When was the last time Breitbart apologized or issued a retraction?

I think the "mainstream media" has been pretty one-sided in terms of going for an extremely pro-Israel bias here; but I do not equate having a bias with spreading "misinformation". I think they are biased like everyone. They have a duty to try to be less so. They can't.

But that's not the same as, e.g., fake news claiming Hillary Clinton was terminally ill and barely able to walk in 2016.
I'm no expert, but aren't rocket launchers recoilless?

As for why the dog form factor, I'm betting it'll be because a dog form factor makes for a much cheaper swarm than a tank form factor. Less mass to move about so a smaller power pack, too

The sale of Figma to Adobe got blocked correct? Or did I miss something?
It seems arXiv does support name changes, just not in citations and references[1]

This seems… fine? To modify citations would be a strange alteration of history and an intrusion on authorship.

If someone quotes this comment and cites it as “bigyikes” and later Dang changes my name, should he also edit the comments that quote me? I don’t think so, but maybe I’m in a minority here.

Without wanting to underscore the seriousness of those problems, a day or two in the woods without access to email or a constant stream of news (Discord and SMS seems fine for me in that situation) really dampens a lot of mental health issues I have, even after going back to civilization.
Empathy. It's a thing.

But seriously, there 8 billion of us on the planet and things can be massively different for different people.

First, software engineering is NOT necessarily well paid anywhere. A lot of that is a usa thing! Even in Canada, developers are far less on the crazy side of bell curve than in usa. None of my friends can make any sense of usa salaries. And in many other parts of the world, IT worker is an office worker. No special unique magic dust attached to profession.

Second, why do you assume you don't need a degree anywhere? That's true in many companies in usa. It's not necessarily the case in all companies everywhere.

Et cetera et cetera. Being In The right city, family, ethnicity, religion, group, caste can also make a massive difference in many places. There's just a zillion aspects to being successful in various situations that not all of us may be aware of.

Sorry if I'm harsh, but having lived in places outside of the North American continent and still remembering their reality / having contacts around the world, the willing, arrogant and patronizing HN bubble sometimes really grates me :-/

I don’t think a FOSS user facing product can actually work well. The ones that I found that worked very well (aesprite) actually just seemed to be founded by a single team that barely had any outside contributions. Basically they could’ve gone proprietary.

And I think it has to do with the nature of humans actually. Those in a company or team feel part of the tribe and are more than likely to feel good when they contribute. While a random person looking to contribute into some FOSS project would see it as some mountain.
I love Rust but it is accidentally in the position of trying to serve two disparate camps of people. Developers who just want a modern ML-ish language with good tooling and some actual lessons learned from PL theory, and developers who need near-total control over the hardware but are tired of working with C & C++ and manually solving decades-old problems with memory safety. The former are a very large audience, but have to deal with requirements imposed by the latter which are irrelevant for their use case.
Yeah, I know and agree, but I've had (my only) two comments flagged for being more direct in accosting enlightened centrism.

Disgusting to me to see people on this forum of normally highly intelligent people comparing in any degree the side that tried to over throw democracy, denies basic science from vaccines to climate, is against voter rights like mail in ballots/accessible polling stations, against women's and gay rights, with the democrats, even with all their problems. Frankly it is straight evil, or supremely ignorant at best to do so.

Enlightened centrism is indeed a fog used to hide conservatism though, just like "libertarian", "centrist", and "independent" (in the US), but you have to be careful calling out centrism on this forum.

The earth and everything in and on it is part of an electrical system, as solar emissions wash across the landscape they’ll stimulate the flow of electrons in everything especially metal and circuit based items. Since circuits in many items are delicate things, designed for very specific currents, it will be a near guarantee that electrical components will be damaged.

I've worked heavily with Go for several years now but recently I have been transitioning to Elixir. In my opinion, Elixir handles this kind of error return problem better with two separate patterns:

1) Somewhat similar to what the author of this post achieved, there is a pattern commonly used in Elixir libraries where there are often variants of library functions which end with ! which raise an exception when a problem is encountered.

For example, the file module https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.13/File.html#read/1 provides multiple ways to read a file:

File.Read() -> returns {:ok, <<content>>} or {:error, <<reason>>}
File.Read!() -> returns <<content>> or raises an exception

2) Pattern matching is also a common way to deal with this.

# This will raise a pattern matching exception if something other than :ok is returned from File.Read
{:ok, content} = File.Read(...)

Pattern matching like this isn't supported in Golang but I think it would be fantastic to be able to write

zd, nil := gzip.NewReader()

and have that panic if an error was returned instead.
Definitely use ASDF for managing it. I’ve started using it for Node too and I quite like it, even though I was pretty hesitant to start using yet another package manager.
I vaguely remember this. thanks.
I'm still not sure what Tesla gain from opening up SuperCharger for competitors.

You say "CP" like it's a clearly evil category, but there's people out there that insist that fanfic about characters in a kid's show kissing is in that category. So, no, I don't really trust moderators to permaban that.

That said, yeah, actual CP should still be a permaban. We all agree on that. But treating it as a cut-and-dried example illustrates exactly what hnaccount141 was saying when they said "these large-scale moderation systems (automated or human) tend to lack nuance and context-awareness, leading to false positives"
