iPhones have been getting cheaper, if we consider the SE model.
Or a metric Crescent wrench.
Hadn't seen that one, but it is a bit of a meme. I'm not joking about working on cars though - my 2001 Toyota Corolla was full of 10mm bolts, and I have on occasion needed to pick one up from the hardware store only to find an empty spot between the 9mm and 11mm sockets.
Hold that thought, and consider the following.

Since the 1980s, the black-white income gap has been rising. Two contributing causes are racially biased law enforcement outcomes (particularly from the escalation of the drug war), and the abandonment of school bussing.

If you look at https://www.sentencingproject.org/research/us-criminal-justi..., you'll find that progressive states like California are generally worse than conservative states like Alabama.

When I've talked with progressives about the importance of fixing inequities in education, I've generally received excuses about how expensive and unaffordable that is. Yes, it is expensive. But because we choose not to deal with it, the ones who bear the real cost are the blacks who can least afford it. See https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/half-of-black-students-c... for more.

Democratic policies have focused on things like affirmative action, and equity in hiring.

I see affirmative action as virtue signaling tokenism. It is far cheaper to admit a few more blacks to universities than to fix schools.

I see equity in hiring as sheer cynicism. We have chosen to not fix our schools, but we can force companies to treat blacks that we failed to educate the same as whites who did learn. And then we can punish companies again for failing to promote underqualified blacks as fast as qualified whites. If we as a state taught the blacks, and offered them support services for the gaps that we left, then it would make sense to penalize companies for any difference in outcomes. I'd be happy with that outcome. But when it is the state that failed, we are shooting the messenger to penalize companies who notice that the emperor has no clothes!

The state should find ways to fix its own failures. If it did, perhaps it would realize that it's cheaper in the long run to not fail in the first place!

I could go on. For example San Francisco is currently facing the results of the BLM slogan, "Defund the police!" BLM protesters were happy to amplify any black who was willing to repeat that message. But surveys of blacks found that most DIDN'T want the police defunded! I've heard interviews from blacks who tried to say that. They reported that they were shouted down by whites.

Apparently, in the name of recognizing that black lives matter, we're supposed to only listen to blacks who say things that whites approve of?

Now bring that thought I told you to hold back, and re-read. Who sounds more like they have the shallow understanding of MLK's white moderates? Me, or progressives?

It's funny to hear such reasoning. Why emerging markets are dealing ok with bad roads and small cars?
I agree. Cooling of CPUs is awful use of this tech. Why would anyone turn down thermal conductivity? Just always be sucking heat out.

--------

The most obvious application would be electrically controlled insulators.

If it's winter or summer, insulate the house.

But if outdoors is 72F (or 21C or another ideal temperature), let the ideal temperature into the house.

Temperature controlled crystal oscillators are another application IMO. Applications where we have a 'target temperature', and easy access to differing temperatures (ex inside the oven vs outside the oven vs the heat from a heater)
Creatine is excellent. It takes a few weeks (maybe ~1 if you “front load”) to accumulate but once it does you’ll notice a difference if you’re looking for it.

It’s multiple times now that I’ve stopped taking it, felt fine for a bit and then started feeling sucky… I don’t eat a lot of red meat so I think I just default to creatine deficiency. Then I remember to start taking it again and feel better.

I think it’s the closest thing to a miracle drug we have. It improves cognition (in those that are deficient) as well. Cognition, energy, strength… just drink enough water to counteract the increased load on your kidneys and it’s wonderful. Unlike many other supplements you’ll see mentioned, it’s something naturally part of our diets. It’s really more like a vitamin than anything. Vegetarians and vegans in particular are likely to be deficient.
I agree that we should be putting bases on the Moon, but not at the cost of doing the same on Mars (do both). Doing it on Mars has value in being a forcing function for attaining efficiency and self-sustainability that the Moon can’t due to its ease of accessibility, which can then be used to help grow our Moon presence to something larger than antarctic-style science outposts into something more permanent that can’t have the rug pulled out from under it by myopic politicians.

For now, AI lacks the contextual depth - but an AI that can actually design a CPU from scratch (and not just rehashing prior-art VHDL it has ... learned? somehow), if that happens we'll be at a Cambrian Explosion-style event anyway, and all we can do is stand on the sides, munch popcorn and remember this tiny quote from Star Wars [1].

> huge amounts of money are taken from those cities to fund the suburbs.

Isn't this just a more crude representation of "we live in a society"? In my city I pay a tax that allows people to have child day care despite being childless. I pay a tax that funds local schools despite not attending one and not having a kid. I pay a tax that goes to make agricultural products cheaper. I pay a tax that subsidizes medical care. Would you object to those as well, or are those okay? Additionally, many of the things you've described as subsidizing suburbs also subsidize cities. HUD would need to exist even if we lived in dense urban areas. USDA, the US Department of Agriculture, would still need to issue loans to farmers unless you believe that only massive farm operations should exist, and grants still fuel much of city development: https://www.hud.gov/press/press_releases_media_advisories/hu....

In my view cities, suburbs, and rural areas are an intertwined ecosystem that cannot exist without each other. Try to remove one or expand one too much without the other and bad things happen. This argument that cities subsidize everybody else ignores that cities are largely reliant on goods, services, and workers from outside of said city.
This is not a "mirrorless camera sensor", at least how it's meant to be interpreted. While technically mirrorless like all webcams, the sensor is under a quarter of the area of the smallest Sony mirrorless intechangeable-lens cameras.
Bollards, intersection daylighting, narrower streets, leading crossibg signals, raised cross walks, no right on red, fewer unrestricted left turns. Just a handful of things that can be done to make drivers drive in a safer manner without explicit coercion.
Notice that none of those are "vehicular manslaughter," which means no implication of actual criminal negligence/recklessness on behalf of the driver. You get the news story because someone died, but notice how they tend to be relatively light on detail. It takes two to tango, and bad car accidents usually have elements of fault from both parties.

In the examples you gave:

1. "a traffic offense for causing serious injury or death to a vulnerable individual while operating a motor vehicle"

2. "Despite that evidence, prosecutors declined to seek criminal charges against Vanderweit, saying her carelessness didn’t amount to vehicular homicide" - "Careless driving" is a charge they give drivers when the prosecutor wants to make a quick deal and doesn't think they can prosecute anything higher. I wonder if there's more to the story here given that there were at least 13 witnesses who could explain exactly what happened...

3. "pleaded no contest to overtaking and passing a cyclist without keeping a distance of at least 3 feet"
These particular terms were added well after people paid a deposit.
If the problem really is that the processor is confused about instruction length, I'm impressed that this problem can be fixed in microcode without a huge performance hit: my intuition (which could be totally wrong) is that computing the length of an instruction would be something synthesized directly to logic gates.

Actually, come to think of it, my hunch is that the uOP decoder (presumably in hardware) is actually fine and that the microcoded optimized copy routine is trying to infer things about the uOP stream that just aren't true --- "Oh, this is a rep mov, so of course I need to go backward two uOPs to loop" or something.

I expect Intel's CPU team isn't going to divulge the details though. :-)

For reverse image search, Google was massively behind competitors (especially Yandex) for a long time - though the gap has narrowed with Google Lens.

For regular search results, I often find myself frustrated that Google seems to prefers ad-heavy sites where any actual content is copied from elsewhere then unnecessarily padded. As an ad company it's probably not in their interest to include it as a factor to rank such sites lower, even when though it legitimately degrades user experience. I've noticed a lot of "[game] wiki" searches on Google give an unmaintained and incomplete Fandom pages, whereas other search engines are better at surfacing the one actively used by the community.

A true blind comparison between results would be interesting. Not just users reacting to the change in site as with the article's example, and also ideally not a marketing campaign like Microsoft's "Bing It On" that dubiously claimed a 2:1 preference towards Bing.
The example from the article shows yahoo forking over much more money than Google, but it still being a disaster:

"Indeed, the article notes that Yahoo agreed to pay nearly $100 million more than Google, which was important revenue for Mozilla.... 'I felt strongly that Yahoo was not delivering the search experience we needed and had contracted for.'"

Yahoo paid nine-figures more than Google to be mozilla's default search engine, but the quality just wasn't good enough. This is a strong hint that quality in this space matters more than just money. How much more would yahoo have had to pay for Mozilla to put up with the decreased quality?
Or a corollary of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_regulator theorem: when a regulator is too small to be "good", knowing its internal model tells us more about that specific regulator than about the world.

Not a popular opinion, but in my mind every driver should at all times be prepared for a child to chase a ball onto a street. What that means in practice is a whole lot of inconvenience for drivers - but it is their responsibility and they should own it. Roads (other than motorways/expressways/etc) are not the exclusive domain of cars and people shouldn't assume that they are.
They usually are... you can see the unconnected tether in the video.

Asteroids are very valuable targets in the solar system. It's because they're low delta vee to get to, and don't require high thrust since they don't have a deep and steep gravity well. This means electric propulsion can be used. Trip times might be long though.

One could extract materials from asteroids and bring them anywhere in space with low delta vee budgets.

I would argue it is still a problem with the sleep state if it is allowed to be changed by software without restrictions. If the user decided to put his machine in the S0ix state there should be no way other than opening the lid or pushing a button to change it. Maybe there could be a hatch to allow the user to select what has higher privileges. I would worry that the corporate mandate would make all kinds of things in there, so I would vote against that. In general either you fit inside the state or you do not get a ride.

The thing I find lacking in Kagi -- and the only Google service I find myself unable to find my way towards not using in general -- is maps.

The funny thing about Google Maps is I actually hate their map (and their navigation), and vastly prefer using Apple Maps to actually look at a map or to get to a place, but Google Maps is so far and away better than any competitors in its value-add information about businesses.

The difference between looking for a restaurant on Google's or on Apple's maps products is pretty stark.
When the Russo-Ukrainian war started, there was a glut of AI-driven 'news' stories on youtube. They had some details correct, but it seemed like a grab-bag of random events from the last month rehashed as a new news story. The videos often had thousands of views, despite the fact that much of the story was fictitious. I tend to not watch anything that isn't at least narrated by a human anymore. If someone didn't invest the time to make it, it probably isn't worth investing the time to watch it.

Yeah let's put one computer / server room as a keeper of all knowledge. Let's make it cheap and powerfull so people instead of looking for knowledge in different places go to one place. In the meanwhile start couple of conflicts and spread fake news to make people hostile to each other so they don't like arguing. People decide to instead of arguing between each other let's just listen to computer to solve problems. Failure is painfull so just ask computer and our work is done. As more and more people would start asking powerfull computer for solution, other knowledge places will disappear due to lack of investments so powerfull computer will buy out everything that's left to eliminate competition. At some point computer gives another brillant idea to reduce our carbon footprint. Just stop printing books, selling computers with hard drives. Instead of that make lightweight terminals that stream knowledge from one place directly into human mind. What could go wrong if we eliminate that computer ?
Yes. I used to live in an apartment in the middle of city. It was easy to walk to lunch/dinner/drinks. It was great for those activities but absolutely awful for many others. Grocery shopping? Still need a car. Going to another part of the city where my friends are? Still need a car. Etc.

I enjoyed city living for a short period of time but it got old, very fast. It is NEVER quiet. Your selection of restaurants and bars is actually quite limited, or you’d need to taxi/Uber. And overall I felt my quality of life much lower.

Now I have a yard and a garage, extra storage in my house, and don’t have to deal with renting.

Life is MUCH better, for me, in the suburbs.
It's just poor sentence structure. "which has become increasingly littered" is a general statement about the upper atmosphere.

If an application like `su` had a privilege escalation bug and someone came on HN and suggested that you could use antivirus to solve the issue by detecting programs that were going to abuse `su`, they would be rightly downvoted off the page.

The short answer is that in some ways, Lakera's product is actually very similar to antivirus, in the sense that both Lakera's product and antivirus will have false positives and will miss some attacks. Both Lakera's classifier and an antivirus program are similarly inappropriate to suggest as a solution for security-critical applications.

That doesn't mean they're useless, but they're not really applicable to security problems that require fully reliable and consistent mitigations.
Yeah, it seems like the only "general solution" to this problem is to measure the number of "human work hours" that went into the production of a specific type of "content".

Content would then be labeled as "AI generated" if the "human work hours" was less than X hours (like 0.5 hours).

Whereas content would not be labelled as "AI generated" if the "human work hours" was greater than or equal to X hours (like 0.5 hours).

That would likely require sharing with YouTube not just the final work product, but rather all the iterative work product that led to the creation of the final work product (i.e., earlier drafts). When YouTube could calculate the number of "human work hours" based on the incremental creation/edit histories when analyzing all the drafts.

This is a very hard problem and unlikely to actually be solved in this way.

By phrasing it that way, you also admit that driving is incredibly dangerous, essentially murderous in the aggregate. The right response then is that we need to establish a transportation system where a moment of inattention doesn't cause death and destruction. Traffic calming, slower speed limits, more mobility options (walk, bike, bus, train), ... and to the point of the article, smaller and lighter vehicles.
You put that reasonable attitude away before someone notices. Haha.
