The LiDAR mapping ones make all the difference.

Our random mapping one was such a frustrating piece of garbage it was just thrown into the closet after a few weeks. My Wyze lidar one is amazing - you can even just yank it off the floor, set it somewhere else, and when you resume it’ll go right back to where it left off and continue.

I know it uploads the generated map to the cloud, but I don’t really care because it keeps my upstairs clean without me lifting a finger.
One time in Korea they tried an endoscopy on me completely raw. I think they sprayed my throat first.

This wasn’t olden times, it was just a decade back.

I promptly gagged, pulled out the scope and vomited.
It is just very fancy cruise control but it's still very significant to the whole "will a person ever get in trouble for taking over from the automated system" discussion that they're the only ones taking legal responsibility while the system is active. Everyone else including Tesla puts all the legal weight on you to stay constantly alert and take over for the system.
> At the very least Tesla should have a "merge right when appropriate" priority in their Autopilot offering. It seems drivers all over the Bay area have forgotten this basic traffic-mitigating rule too.

You expect this from a company that writes software that will intentionally roll through stop signs?!? Or that lets you set parameters on how much to exceed the speed limit by?
It allows the fuel to withstand higher pressures without detonating in an uncontrolled manner. This is important in aircraft engines, which run at a significant fraction of their maximum power output for most of their working lives.

People have been looking for alternatives for a long time, but it's difficult because leaded aviation gasoline is not a very large market, and there are substantial regulatory obstacles.
I’m friends with several university professors. One of them has a comment on RateMyProfessor that reads “She’s the dumbest smart person I’ve ever met.” I’ve also spent several years working with Honeywell, with a bunch of people with masters degrees or PhDs in engineering. They are all, collectively, some of the dumbest people I know. And they’re uniquely dumb in smart ways. They don’t pull on a door marked push because they missed the sign; they pull on it because they come up with a complicated rationalization that “push” actually means “pull.”

And I think I’ve identified the cause: lack of continual contact with reality. I’ve yelled on a conference call with a bunch of Honeywell engineers “STOP FUCKING HYPOTHESING AND CHECK THE LOGS!” Smart people are prone to forming their own little bubbles; groups of smart people even moreso. They suffer from a lack of continually having their bubbles popped by abrasive facts, or dumb people who point out the obvious.

I’m having work done on my house, and my contractor is an endless source of simple, “this is how it works” data. I conceive of interesting structures for my wife’s greenhouse, and then he explains why it won’t work in single syllable words.

This is the primary reason conversations on HN involving SBF, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Jobs, Eliezer Yudkowsky etc can be so tedious

Exactly.

What is the current story regarding replication between B2 and GCS Archive Storage?

B2 currently costs 6 $/TB/month, GCS Archive Storage costs 5x less at 1.2 $/TB/month.

Do both of these guarantee that if a single data center location catches fire, your backups will not be lost?

Given how autonomous vehicles drive today (cautiously, within the speed limit), I feel pretty good about autonomous vehicles easily beating out humans on highway driving. I'd love to see a highway-oriented true full self driving mode developed, and I'd probably pay an additional ~10-20k to get it
Autopilot doesn't, but FSD will change lanes to go better with the flow of traffic. (And does a semi-decent job at it, in my experience.)

That’s because that information is not available. The ACLU is working on finding that. The law applies to every one equally on US soil. Visa applicants can often be located in the US so they would have standing in a US court.

Because I want the other thing I can get for free.

Think of it like this. If you are flicking through channels on your TV, you might find something halfway interesting that you want to watch, and so you do. But you never would have paid for it.

Same thing with piracy. You might check something out of curiosity or boredom, but never would have paid $20 for it, and me personally, I'm not going to 'rent' something that requires DRM to play, and don't want to own it on physical media, so piracy is the clear choice.

This is pretty normal human behavior, and I see no ethical issue with it. There is only the fallacy of the lost sale as a flimsy counter-argument, the rest is greed and lies.
I last studied the gdpr years ago but that most definitely appears false, provide your sources.

The GDPR deals with "processing" and this is the definition of processing:

" ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;
"

Note the "transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available".
You do understand India is a country with huge number of scammers who targets US people, and they are causing US billions of dollars of damage [1] each year? Sure, you might not be a criminal, but how would these companies know? Plus, since you mention "gift card", you do know that scammers use gift cards to launder money, right?

India doesn't put heavy hammer on scammers for various reasons. For example, since the scammers are mostly targeting foreign countries, and Indian police are well known for accepting bribes from these scammers, the scamming business is de-facto welcomed. They are too short-sighted to not see that the "industry" is damaging India's global reputation, which transitively affects you in negative way. It's unfortunate, and hope the situation improves over the time.

There’s a joke I like a lot (fair warning: it is a stupid one).

An elderly husband and wife die in their sleep on the same night. They both appear before the pearly gates, where St. John takes them on a tour of the heavens, ending with the banquet hall. The table is overflowing with all sorts of delicious foods—sweets, beautiful cuts of meat, cakes, cocktails, etc. This puts the husband in a foul mood, which further degrades into full-on sulking when he sees the liquor cabinet and the humidor. Eventually, his wife says to him “okay, dear, out with it. What did I do wrong this time?”

The husband glares back at her and mutters under his breath, “you and your damn bran-muffins… we could have been here years ago.”
This is quite a common measure in business, especially in project management. Including in the US, from my experience with a dozen or so large US companies I worked for or with.

It is granular enough (~52 weeks) to give good (rough) estimations and is is not difficult to manage (compared to 365 days for instance)
I run a recipe management website for my friends and family as personal passion project: https://letscooktime.com. People eat with their eyes. You *need* good images. Traditionally this meant expensive food photography, but now you can use AI to generate images. The challenge is that the image may not look like the real meal, but anyway 90% of people scrolling by won't make the recipe anyway so that's probably acceptable!
I predict the Chinese PLAN (Navy) will "accidentally" cut the cable in the first week it is operational.
Then it won’t be the same mental battle, which means it won’t be the same physical battle.

Edit to add: you also need a lot more than multi axis simulators for acceleration. A centrifuge providing multiple Gs, for example, is a very different feeling from from being tilted backwards in a simulator.
Yeah, you can see in the interview that they are LOCKED IN to the core Mario concepts. Really get the sense that Mario is an institution, a career at Nintendo.

Explains why the game feels subtly boring, at least from the trailers I watched. They are taking Mario and adding modifiers, not rethinking the foundation. You can't get the wonder + magic back by building off of what everyone already knows.

BotW + TotK were the really creative games, this is just lip service to creativity.
Yup. Old small piston airplanes had an exemption to use leaded gas "for safety". Mind you, these are the engines running on 1950s tech that still have carburetors. The failure to test and approve an unleaded fuel lead is a long and unpleasant story.
Not much thankfully. It's only small General Aviation piston aircraft and there aren't many of them relatively speaking. It's not like in the 60s when there were thousands of car engines per city constantly pumping it out. More like 10-20.

This is why the FAA wasn't in a huge hurry but at the same time they were WAY too slow. It should have been a crash priority honestly.
Seems ripe for automation in this day & age. 15 per day, pff! I'm sure with the right cloud services and a well-engineered state machine we could get it up to over a 100. Should be just about enough to handle Tory members as election day approaches...

I feel like presenting yourself as a collector could work at most as an excuse for concerned friends and family.

As a hereditary peer you'd get to be one of a few hundred people that could vote to veto some stuff which the Commons could then override if they felt strongly enough to persist with it. And lunch expenses, I guess.

Tests only show that it is correct for the sets of values and code paths you exercise. It's quite possible for other aspects to be incorrect, and this is what theorem provers like Coq help with.
Sure, in the same sense that every "untyped" program is already typed with some kind of a universal type, but what's the point?

What I want is to be able to specify and have (when possible) automatically proven arbitrary assertions anywhere in the code without necessarily making sure that every possible presupposition is proven from the ground up. Just like in Typescript, I can add a type at any point where there was only "any", and have a small portion of the program typed without typing the whole thing
This is a bad argument because humans use two eyes that move constantly in unison, have massively higher dynamic range than any digital camera, and can accurately measure distance in a fraction of a second by changing their focus distance. A web cam really can't replace human sight, if it was two very high speed camersa that moved like human eyes than your argument would stand, but it is not!
> Once it's legal, what reason is there to keep the poisonous one around?

Many (older) aircraft engines need leaded fuel.
Thus "the magical Japanese art of luggage forwarding."
The harsh reality is that any conversation about what "people" want needs to factor in the fact that half of "the people" are dumber, more simpler-minded than the average person.

No, you and I don't want to look at staged animal rescues or celebrity drama... but if the average person does, then so does at least 50% of the population. We're in the minority.
Maybe it's because I've mostly become aware of SBF after the shit hit the fan, but I feel I've never seen this guy communicate in a clear and cogent way. It's all just mumbling, dithering, and dissembling. Even reports of how he ran his businesses sound like noise and chaos.

He's clearly "smart" in the sense that he knows how to read a book and operate a computer, but we need to stop treating him as anything other than a middling dude who stumbled into a grift.
They used to pose as alchemists. "Fund me and I will produce an endless supply of gold."

My favourite dead-end task is when I'm working on some established non-mobile first UI that has often been haphazardly put together with only 13" laptops in mind, and asked to essentially "make it responsive". It's a tiresome conversation to have when the task bleeds into another sprint, usually with a surprised manager who I'm sure could have finished in 1 hour between meetings. Don't forget the tests, QA, managing other PR reviews, participating in pointless meetings, and inane last-minute requirements changes

I've sometimes wondered if Venus' runaway greenhouse had been caused (presumably unintentionally) by intelligent Venusians in the distant past, how could we find out? What bio- or techno-signatures would we still be able to find? And what possible such signatures would be easiest to look for given the inhospitable conditions?

> How much environmental lead contamination are we talking here?

Not much. Flying is a pretty niche hobby (and as others have pointed out, commercial jets don't use leaded fuel).
Dated!? Dated!? You think that is dated looking? Ha! If you want to see dated do an image search for: "Oscar EMR Canada" and you can feast on dated UI. Socialist software forever! Kidding aside, that EMR is used by hundreds of doctors and small hospitals in Canada. Yikes.

The author refers to a very specific type of journaling. I wouldn't take this advice for those looking to journal for mental health purposes -- putting pen to paper and moving the _hand_ is what is important, not what flows onto the paper.

But if you need a bot to help you write... sometimes it's okay to not have anything to say to a piece of paper.

Tbh I understand this, it did feel like a lot of plastic waste being left around. But I think it'd be an impossible logistical problem to avoid this in the foreseeable future
On the other hand, I myself use a similar approach. For home purpose I prefer having redundancy across several cheaper machines without raid1,10,5,6,z than a more expensive single machine with disk redundancy. And I'd rather pay the additionnal money on putting ECC ram on all machines.

> I'm not seriously envisioning chowing down on bar soap

If you want to find out, my dog will happily chow down on a bar of soap. He tried to eat one a few days ago, and he happily drinks soapy water out of the tub when my kids are in the bath.

You can dog sit him and clean up the mess when the soap comes out the other end.
Just eat a balanced diet and exercise. Don’t smoke, drink, or do drugs (if you do then do them sparingly). Everything else won’t move the needle and should be mostly ignored - someone is selling you something or gaining a click.

Luckily for the American health care industry people ignore that advice and do their very level best to oppose it at every turn.
It’s interesting to see the charts with a binary threshold where green is good and red is bad: https://www.asyousow.org/environmental-health/toxic-enforcem...

The threshold is based on heavy metals per serving. I suppose it makes sense that dark chocolate would be flagged more frequently because it has a higher concentration of cacao per serving.

It also means that for some of these products, eating half as much dark chocolate would give the same dose as someone eating twice as much milk chocolate. Good reminder to consider the absolute dose rather than binary thresholds.
I think this is true in the individual level, but less so in the ecosystem as a whole.

If I would never buy the digital good, even if I didn't copy it, how am I depriving an author of any income? The act of me making a copy makes no difference at all to the author. I'm either not buying and not copying, or I'm not buying and copying. Net result is the same for the author. The is no cheating, there is no loss. At all.
People are not authentic talking to friends or family in private either. The entire authenticity cult is a creation of modern media and is as much manufactured as "fitting in" is.

In fact, I'd say that it's GOOD that people craft their image, no one genuinely wants to hear your unfiltered thoughts. Usually people who do that are considered socially maladjusted.
Digital bookmarks, as well as search features are better in in electronic documents though. And the interesting emerging category of "chatting with documents" offers some interesting capabilities.

I've always found the relative unreliability of meteorological predictions fascinating. A lot of the time they're spot on (even the notorious "probability of precipitation") and the way we're able to track and predict storm paths is so impressive.

But from time to time we get an event like this, and it really underscores how little we really know. The sheer complexity of the phenomena / the theory we use to contain and understand them, it just seems to misfire spectacularly on occasion.

In a fantasy world, I would like to see weather forecasts that reach several months out, with high reliability. Mapping winds, precipitation, etc, with high spatial and temporal accuracy.

If I was going to give folks advice, it would be to use an ORM, instead. That let me build low-investment prototypes using SQLite. When I outgrew it, I could easily switch to PostgreSQL by adding the appropriate test framework plugin and changing the database connection string.

SQLite, for all it's features, has some pretty significant limits. In my case, I needed better date/time and decimal type handling than what's on offer in SQLite. I still test my code against SQLite because that is a useful way to lint my data model—plus it's nice for small-scale proof-of-concept deployments—but I expect deployers to use PostgreSQL or MariaDB in production.

Edit: I've had a chance to read the article. The comment about "zero latency" is wrong because it ignores disk I/O. And yes, I know SSDs are super fast. Still not zero. The bit about Docker Compose rings hollow. It sounds like they need to learn how to use multiple Compose files, e.g., https://mindbyte.nl/2018/04/04/overwrite-ports-in-docker-com.... As for development and testing, mock database setup should be handled by your unit test framework. I'm familiar with pytest, which makes testing the same model or ETL across multiple database fixtures very, very easy. SQLite has nothing to do with that.

First of all, it doesn't feel the same to me at all.

Second, it's about the chance of getting caught. With online piracy this is zero. Doing that at target will net you a criminal record even if you're really good.

PS I didn't mean to make this a heated discussion, though it's obviously a hot take. I just wanted to explain my point of view. I'm kinda beyond justifying this.
But its not entirely wrong there is some natural background level of expected exposure for things like lead, arsenic, mercury, etc as they are naturally occurring part of our environment. wanting to know what the floor is when talking about exposure to these toxins helps you understand the scale of exposure.

Everything boils down to incentives. The idea that people are paid to grab attention is flawed. It has created a cyclone of everyone chasing what's hot while true creators, not the namesake, but people who actually create new stuff, are spun out to the farthest reaches.
