Dieselgate basically. They got a rude awakening around that time and accelerated plans to take EVs to market because they realized that their diesel strategy was dead in the water. So, they now have EV production capacity on multiple continents and battery supply secured. Their first generation platform has been a bit rough but they are selling cars built on it in volume now directly and through companies like Seat. The probably do so at a loss or with low margins. Which is something they have in common with other struggling manufacturers.
Depends on the person too, my 90 year old grandmother still lives alone in her large house and is so in touch with her neighbors that she has someone that mows her grass, someone that brings her mail up to her doorstep, someone that does her weeding, someone that does her shopping, and on and on. I'm always amazed by how many people just volunteer to do stuff for her, it's like a superpower. She is a pretty unique individual though, I think most elderly individuals just slip into a pit of isolation.

The increased visibility about Autism has helped in the workplace somewhat. When someone is able to be diagnosed, they are given the resources to help navigate the neurotypical world, and managers have been expected to adjust their communication styles for a neuro-diverse workforce.

Autistic people still are not given all of the opportunities to succeed, and training is uneven at best, but it's certainly on the right trajectory.

That said, please consider looking at confirming a diagnosis. If you are indeed on the spectrum, you may benefit from knowing and learning adaptive strategies.

"He suggested dissatisfaction is probably at about the same level that it always has been, but people on average are more accustomed to and capable of articulating their feelings than before."

Come on, emotional intelligence wasn't born yesterday; articulating feelings wasn't born yesterday. Literal Mesopotamian tablets of laborers expressing their frustrations to their employers, debtors, etc exist. Nevermind, people literally died for our 5-day, 40-hour work week; they absolutely articulated that problem both to themselves, their co-workers, and their employers.
With a couple of friends, we did a 0 caffeine challenge for a week. First to drink any caffeinated drink would have to get the first round of drinks after work on Friday.

Knowing the first couple of days I go without coffee I'm pretty slow, I started on the Saturday rather than the planned Monday.

On Tuesday I was getting tested for Covid because I was feeling feeverish (no actual fever), had cramps and intense pain in my back. By the end of the week I was feeling a little better. On Friday, we all had a cup of coffee together, no one had lost the challenge.

All that to say that never again will I underestimate the drug.

this is very computationally expensive to do such operation (to understand that teeth is completely occluded by something else like mouth)

this is called occlusion culling and usually it brings a lot of problems on its own (it's CPU intensive and you need to apply it smartly only where it helps)

and even if this occlusion culling would be cheap, the way how it is usually done requires precomputing a lot of data - so occluders are static geometry

since character head is skinned mesh - so dynamically changes every frame based on joints positions - that will be another level of complexity

> EV's are 10% of the American market

Ah, no. EV sales in the US are slowing with dealerships having large amounts of unsold inventory, as documented below:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2023/11...

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/01/why-dealers-say-ev-sales-hav...

The total percentage of new cars being sold as EV is about 7.9% in the US for Q3 2023.

https://electrek.co/2023/10/12/ev-sales-7-9-us-market-volvo-...

https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/q3-2023-ev-sales/

That sounds great, until you realize that new car sales have slowed significantly due to the economy and high interest rates; meaning that wealthy people have outsized buying influence at the moment.

https://www.marketplace.org/2023/03/06/new-car-sales-have-sl...

This has caused dealerships to warn Congress that they believe EV purchase orders will decline in percentage when interest rates decline and the middle class starts buying cars in greater quantities again; making the Congressional recommended deadline unfeasible.

https://www.teslarati.com/car-dealers-biden-ev-demand/

Despite the above, EVs and Plug-in Hybrids combined register as only 1.2% of all vehicle registrations in the United States.

I find this to be a simple reconstruction of moral responsibility without the language associated with character judgement - essentially just word games.
Love this take, and I agree. Where do you think this monorail proclivity comes from (assuming it wasn't "predetermined")? My hand-wavy first guess is an interwoven legacy of patriarchy, trauma, and power structures including theological ones that reflected and reinforced it.

Or maybe it's just that we tend to grab shiny things, just like crows and monkeys, and a sense of singular certainty just seems particularly shiny.

> “This book … is both about the science of why there is no free will and the science of how we might best live once we accept that.”

Well, if there's no free will, we can't help how we live, nor can we choose to accept if we believe in free will.
Stop. I'm not going to argue your baseless and meritless comments, especially on a thread like this that's wildly unrelated.
We can punish people for a plurality of reasons:

- for moral enforcement (requires free will doctrine)

- for retribution (tit for tat)

- to balance society out

Even if free will doesn't exist, we can still punish people who cause harm to society, in the interest of the group. It's just society balancing itself out.

> I'm not sure but is this meant ironically? Because taking a screenshot is a thing people do very often.

Yes, I was intending to mock Wayland for failing, after 15 years of development, to have a single way of taking screenshots that works in all environments. I understand wanting to make things modular and flexible and make as much optional as possible[0], and I understand wanting to ship the core protocol first and then follow up with drafting other things and building consensus, but the fact that this thing was allowed to hit end-users with screenshots this broken - and that it still hasn't been fixed, and AIUI never will be fixed because GNOME seems to think that the situation doesn't need fixing - is a fairly damning incitement of Wayland as a whole.

> Is that true? My understanding was that GNOME never put forth a protocol but always did their dbus thing. I know that wlroots proposed a bunch of protocol extensions but those never went anywhere since, well, GNOME didn't want to implement them[1]. Nowadays I think every compositor(?) just implements the xdg-portal stuff.

I think it's true, though it's honestly hard to tell. Most of the screenshot tools I could find are using the wlroots protocol, KDE's official tool notes,

> Spectacle is a screenshot taking utility for the KDE desktop. Spectacle
can also be used in non-KDE X11 desktop environments.

which doesn't really explicitly say much, and in fact the only tool I could find that claimed to be able to support everything was ksnip, which seems to work fine with wlroots but beyond that https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip#known-issues outlines the situation well enough; KDE is at least only temporarily broken, but GNOME isn't going to improve because GNOME did that on purpose. Now, that readme says you can use xdg-desktop-portal, but I have a GNOME+Wayland machine on hand, and I couldn't get it to actually work. I think what's supposed to happen is that every time I do a screenshot it prompts for permission, which I wanted to verify so I could complain that that was totally unreasonable, but what actually happens is that it just fails, which is... not better. Oh, and while searching for solutions to that I found flameshot, but that just refuses to even run. So... maybe someday the portal solution will work; in the meantime, I feel comfortable describing the situation as Wayland not having a uniform working way of taking screenshots.

[0] In particular, so we can avoid the situation from X11 where a load of drawing primitives are baked in that nobody has any use for anymore.
> I think you are letting emotion take away reason.

I could say the same for you.

> so the pass test is eating something and not dropping dead?

Basically yes, that's how all industry has always been working. In reality, it's of course a bit more complicated. But if you don't die from something today, then nobody can say why you died in 20 years because of something did today.

> A large study and a study of studies published last month showed that the claim that red mean can cause cancer is incorrect.

Source? But I doubt this is relevant. This is an endless circle of claims from all side with many different perspectives.

> I specify that plant-based meat should be shown to be "at least as safe" as actual meat.

Yes, and it's still up to you to prove that there can be unsafe. Plant-based products are nothing new. If you have a problem with them, find some better claim then your gut-feeling.
This. Today, every modern OS is pretty good at automatically figuring out which files (e.g. binaries) get used most often and will cache them in RAM. Having to manually specify which ones to cache in RAM wastes time and resources.

I honestly don't trust car dealers. Most of them are scammers trying to bait and switch, inflate prices, sell worthless warranties/upgrades, and generally screw everyone to the best of their abilities. People order cars and have to buy through them, so the dealer takes the car and sells it to someone else for more. Then, when you actually get the car, if it breaks down they will charge you for in-warranty repairs.

They were the worst with EVs and Hybrids. In the meantime, with work from home, a lot of people are realizing they don't need a car. Everyone else's car payment is going to doubled grocery prices and doubled rents. Also, good luck buying anything affordable, because the lots are filled with F-150s and SUVs.

This is a normal viewpoint and it is not inflammatory. "Modern medicine" isn't a homogenous cohort and your generalizations are sweeping.
If these conditions were on an "open source" model I'd have a fit because I fundamentally disagree with the way companies are trying to enforce how model weights they release are used while capitalizing on open source branding.

They do however all seem pretty reasonable and uncontroversial (unless I missed something) and I understand why AWS or others would want to enforce these conditions. The dividing line for me would be if use restrictions drift into the realm of politics (which "disinformation" potentially could).

I'd rather see well thought out regulation govern uses and not have monopoly providers writing the rules.

MusicXML seems to be more for notation and sheet music typesetting rather than algorithmic operations on the notes themselves. Sure you could train a model on it but you'd be better off doing it on the specific domain and classically translating up to the XML format.
I have not had much success using MusicXML to switch between different notation programs. Trying to read a score exported from Musescore as MusicXML in Sibelius or vice versa feels worse than switching between Microsoft Office and other ostensibly compatible formats.

Does anyone have any success stories?

Show HN: Paper Brief – An AI-Powered Podcast Talking about AI/ML Papers
Hi Hacker News community!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on, "Paper Brief." It's a podcast that uses OpenAI's APIs to turn complex AI research papers into engaging, easy-to-listen episodes. The idea was to make high-level AI research accessible to a broader audience, including those who prefer audio content over traditional reading.

Each episode is build using OpenAI's RAG for content generation and advanced Text-to-Speech technology for narration. The papers
are sourced from a well-curated list on Huggingface, covering a wide range of AI topics.

I'm looking forward to the Hacker News community's feedback and suggestions. Also, if there are any specific papers or topics you'd like to hear about, I'm all ears!

Looking forward to your thoughts!

I work for Sibelius so I'm heavily involved in this world. MusicXML is a great standard and offered a solid basis for data interchange between music notation programs. But now there's a new group working to build a successor standard, MNX: https://w3c.github.io/mnx/docs/

It was originally going to be in XML but they recently switched to JSON, which is a good move, I think. I can't wait for it to be adopted as it will give so much more richness to the data set.

This is pretty nice, and there's already a lot of tools out there. I've built some of my own tools to scrape their tabs and store all my own stuff since I expect they will continue locking tabs down more like they already have. I'm a lifetime UG pro member but they keep pushing the envelope too far to monetize more.

There's no path for OSS in this domain unfortunately because tabs are often licensed and owned by the publishing companies (or the artists at the very least). Oliver Tree is one dingbat who had most of his tabs taken down at one point despite being a total of 4 chords per song.

I'm pretty unhappy with the state of the space considering anyone can listen to a song and write a tab out.
Weird for me to see the responses here. It was one of the only episodes I really liked since it seemed a lot more plausible. Also was kind of funny especially since Cameron may well have fucked a pig in his day.
