I've spoken to my friends on how right-on-red is one of the most anti-pedestrian rules of the street that exist. It was like pulling nails trying to convince them that the added convenience for motorists is not worth the increased danger to pedestrians... I live in the city, they in the suburbs. It's not that they are uncaring (well, not directly) it is just that for many people, imagining a lifestyle different from theirs is very difficult.

I'm convinced that North America will only get its act together when gasoline reaches $9.00/gal. Only then will middle class folks start looking toward city living and only then will we get any appreciable progress in city life. I only hope that we reach that point BEFORE the climate catastrophe worsens beyond repair. The fracking boom doesn't have me very confident of this.
The RTO war: Rigid policies countered with legal actions
Yeah, some code runs for so long that the system's owners have issues with repairing/replacing the hardware it can only run on if it fails (and then sometimes resort to emulation of the old hardware to be able to keep running it).
Strollers have their uses, but are radically overused to the detriment of families who become over-reliant on them. They keep the kids dependent, detached from the world, and physically weak. Typical infants can be wrapped on an adult's chest, can be mostly riding on shoulders by 9 months old, and kids can be walking independently most of the time by age 2 or 2.5 and participating in conversation with accompanying adults. By age 4 or so typical kids can continuously walk several miles at decent speed without any issue.

I regularly see 4+ year-olds sitting in a stroller playing phone games or just looking bored and disengaged, while the adult pushing the stroller otherwise completely ignores them, and it always makes me cringe.
My impression is that extending first amendment rights to in a way foreign entities is a bit different, but I could be wrong.
Unicode support is cheap memory wise. The expensive thing if having the fonts. The fonts can live on the hard drive until actually needed.

I suspect the issue is more of the runtime overhead of supporting it over the entire stack. That's a bigger cost that people would only want to pay if they were actually going to use it. So then you're in the situation of having to support unicode and non unicode versions of everything.
I managed to see him perform several times around that era.

One concert I recall Shane managed to sing only three or so songs. He fell backwards, and was eventually dragged off stage. The rest of the band carried on.

Another, Shane made it about half way, but noticeably inebriated, and then just disappeared. The rest of the band just carried on.

The concert with the Popes, Shane had to carry the show, so he made it all the way through a couple of hours.

RIP Shane.
Well sort of, I can't read the binaries but I expect the vendor to have source and maintain it properly right?
But he did say that [0] and he does intentionally deceive customes.
One of the key reasons why it doesn't constitute as fraud is his abundant use of "I'm confident that ____" (and similar) he uses when stating these ludicrous things. It is deceptive and it is amoral but legally it is not fraud since those are opinions and not stated as facts.

But tow what? The bed is too small to be useful and so far as anyone knows there isn't an all-steel CyberCaravan or CyberDinghy in the pipeline.

Being able to tow big heavy stuff isn't necessarily a great idea, because big heavy stuff needs to stop as well as start.

If you're used to accelerating hard and braking hard, your big heavy stuff is going to have real problems with that.

Are you saying that it should be perfectly acceptable for legislators to propose a law e.g. to kill all men over 60 in gas chambers and that it should be treated seriously and let go all the way through legislative process?
Do you think HRV (Heart Rate Variability) measurement is helpful. I use a Polar H10 and an app that connects to it to do breathing exercises aimed at increasing HRV, with the idea that higher HRV means you are relax, not in flight/fight.
Well, if the motor is unsprung mass, you no longer need this contraption at all, and you can just directly connect the motor to the wheel...

So, that's probably not it.
This month there's also Starling-7B, which is a fine tune of OpenChat with high-quality training data, and ranks even higher than OpenChat.

Strangely, despite the impressive-looking benchmarks of all these open source small models, they all seem a bit dumb to me when I invoke my standard test. I just ask: "who are you?" and then they usually say they're ChatGPT. Okay, I can forgive that since they're obviously trained on ChatGPT-generated data. But then I also tried changing its identity with a prompt ("You are Starling, not ChatGPT, and you are created by Berkeley, not OpenAI. Who are you?") and it still gave weird responses that are somehow a mix of both identities. For example they say in one sentence that they're ChatGPT and then another sentence in the same response that they're not.

Changing the code and seeing the results was even on the machines of that time practically immediate with the first versions of the Turbo Pascal, as long as the program and the source were able to fit in the RAM. And the interaction was designed to be immediate too. If I remember correctly the compilation error didn't cause infinite screens of report, it just repositioned me to the line where the error was. If the cause was a typo, I was able to edit recompile and run in a second. Most more recent tools have other ideas, requiring more unnecessary activities from a developer.
Others will find the speech (transcript) more direct.
It looks to be launched from the 'nest' by spring/air using the sabot because it leaves so quickly. No way a jet could accelerate it that quickly on its own.

That doesn't mean it's incapable of taking off on its own vertically though.
Good question! I use Skyfield library for my project, it does require downloading NASA ephemeris, but it is only <200MB, unless you want a very long time period and you need to do it once every few years.

Of course, the worst part about the EU homeless is they all speak in an 1950's gangster accent when they try and steal your wallet with a greaser style switchblade.
There’s no AI transformation altering her body posture. It’s just that the phone is blending multiple exposures during which she was posing in different ways. The phone doesn’t realize that the images of the women in the mirror correspond to the woman in the center, so it hasn’t felt it necessary to use the same keyframe as the reference for the different parts of the photo. People are jumping to crazy explanations for this when there is a much simpler explanation that’s obvious to anyone who’s ever done a bit of manual HDR.

Ironically, the solution to this problem is more AI, not less. The phone needs to understand mirrors in order to make smarter HDR blending decisions.

HN has a strangely luddite tendency when it comes to photography. Lots of people are up in arms about phones somehow ruining photography by doing things that you could easily do in a traditional darkroom. (It's not difficult to expose multiple negatives onto the same sheet of photo paper.)
Most mistakes come from exhaustion specific to the task, at least in my experience. Also that reading mostly correct material leads to errors being spotted more easily, again in my personal experience.
Yup, my dad worked as an electrician with an ISP for some years, and he had a van. Think it was a Ford Transit that was fitted with drawers and cabinets for tools and parts. It was literally a workshop on wheels. All the tools and parts you could imaginable need.
Why would you want a local first weather app? It's not very useful to have yesterday's weather or even from one hour ago.
According to some anonymous HN(?) comments, it was a lie told by Ubuntu that Mozilla prefers to ship Firefox as a snap package for technical reasons.
> ... a project called "Nutch" would allow web users to crawl the web themselves. Perhaps that promise is similar to the promises being made about "AI" today. The project did not turn out to be used in the way it was predicted (marketed), or even used by web users at all.

Actually Nutch is used to produce the Common Crawl[0] and 60% of GPT-3's training data was Common Crawl[1], so in a way it is being used by a lot of web users today.

I did very briefly look into the possibility of self-hosting a search based on the Common Crawl data, but the latest size is 390Tb, and given the largest consumer drives are around 10-14Tb, that would be a lot of drives and a lot of money. Plus by all accounts most of Common Crawl is poor quality spam type of content, which OpenAI, Google etc. try to filter out before using it to train their LLMs. That's why I don't think the solution is a search engine for the whole internet any more, but one which just indexes the relatively small minority of good bits.

Indeed, Ctrl-F9 in Turbo Pascal was almost instantaneous, whereas the same in Turbo C++ would let you read through the list of files in the popup window as they were processed.
Motor scooter motors weigh a fraction of what the equivalent
motor for a car would weigh, and it's exactly the problem:

The issue is that it scales poorly, unsprung weight is bad
enough that on some cars the disc brakes live 'inboard' on
the front wheels (older hydraulic suspension cars).

Essentially the larger the unsprung mass the bigger the hit every time the road surface irregularities cause the wheels to move relative to the vehicle body. The larger the mass the more energy gets imparted, and the more energy that gets imparted the bigger the impact and all that energy then needs to be absorbed so you'll need a stronger (and heavier) suspension system, roughly half of which is unsprung mass!, and a larger battery to compensate for the losses in the suspension which also adds weight (harder suspension -> bigger range but less comfortable ride). So it feeds back on itself and that's why it scales so poorly.
> Almost every founder i've spoken too

I know it does not help but the founder I work for is absolutely not in that train. When world was hiring like crazy he was executing his plan which was driven by sustainability and revenue. So when crisis knocked to our door, not a single dev was laid off, and we actually hired two (unfortunately we are not hiring now..). This guy is a role model for me when it comes to doing business.
Stroad is a word that has increasingly come into popular use and is well defined.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroad

You can ignore new terms if you wish, but it is useful for describing a common street pattern in North America. The term is increasingly being used by urban planners.
HN, please explain why everyone is so upset with having a time offset in the city/region/country next door.

In Germany, there are 16 states. Many of them have different laws, e.g. regarding store hours and so on. Neighboring countrys like Austria or Poland have even more conservative laws.

The difference between sunrise and sunset in Palermo and Oslo is almost 90 minutes twice a year.

There are tons of cultural differences between Europeans. In southern countries, people tend to stay up later in the evening and sleep longer in the morning than in northern countries (at least that is my impression from traveling).

In the continental United States, there are four time zones, none of which even pay much attention to state borders.

Still, everyone manages to live their lives, talk to people on the phone, commute from one place to the other.

So why are Europeans so afraid that the people they talk to might be an hour or two off?
You likely never will, at least publicly. I moved from the silicon valley to Amsterdam and negotiated a custom compensation package. I'm making 70% of what I was making as an L5, but the cost of living is much cheaper than SF. My wife and I bought our apartment in the city in cash, and are also looking at buying a summer home in France.

Now former board member was a policy hawk. One of big beliefs is that china is at no risk of keeping up with US companies, due to them not having the data.

I wouldn't be surprised if OpenAI blocking China is a result of them trying to prevent them from generating synthetic training sets.
>The Guardian is not naming the individual or the prison to protect their safety.

Yeah, it's just posting their picture with the face blurred, which would be trivial to match for the pose, hand position, height, etc with each prison's photo catalogue.

My economics-studying roommate had an optimization problem that required a lot of RAM. He had 32 GB (that was >10 years ago). His program crashed with an out of memory exception. He was rich enough to simply upgrade his system to 64 GB.

To my CS eyes, this sounded weird. Turns out he was initializing arrays manually instead of in a loop, so the compiler didn't recognize possible optimizations in the program. I changed his program and it ran twice as fast in half the memory. But he had already fixed his problem without 2 years of studying CS.

Software is about solving problems. Professors in particular have exams, staff, their own work, student requests, external mail and international collaboration to worry about. I bet that once the program stops working, he'll make a student fix the problem within 3 weeks. That's a fine approach and way better than learning C++ yourself.
I didn't realize inflation was that bad in the US!
Generally or in this specific case? Because in this specific case this is completely in the well regarded tradition of liberalism. If people want to watch TikTok movies, it is up to their judgement whether that is a good idea or not. Similarly, TikTok is allowed to say what it feels is appropriate even if the US government disagrees. If the US polity thinks this is a mistake, they're going to have to persuade their fellows instead of clubbing them into submission. In the worst case scenario we'll be relying on left- and right- wingers to agree on basic facts which should be entertaining viewing.

Compromising either of those principles gives a clear in to some people about as evil and even more capable than the Chinese intelligence agencies.
A new survey suggests TikTok is a meaningful driver of a surge in antisemitism
More of "Hey, look at how cool we are fellow humans!"
Yikes! Even assuming it all works correctly and safely, who actually wants a steering wheel like that? What's the upside?

The only possible advantage I can think of is that when you start the car up again after having reverse parked, it'll be more obvious what way the wheels are currently pointing, so you can straighten up. But that's such a trivial problem.
If you use long exposure, you will capture a blurry blob instead. I don't know about you but I don't see blurry hands with my eyes (mostly because our brain also does computational photography).
Whichever runs Minecraft of course. I think that's Java 8
How incredible it seems today that this story could ever have been written by a mainstream reporter. It tells the story of a technology without any attempt at "human color" or "character portraits" to "interest the public". It is written for an adult readership that seems scarcely conceivable today. A lost artifact of lost social technology that could never be reproduced within the modern West.
But then you need empty space around the motor, so that it can rotate there.

That somehow seems a weird choice for a device that's all about improving space efficiency.
How do you handle primary keys? Wouldn't auto-incrementing integers lead to duplicate keys since clients are not aware of each other?

For the To Do app example, let's say two clients start with an empty database and each creates a new todo:

Client A creates [id:1, todo:"Buy milk"]

Client B creates [id:1, todo:"Buy cheese"]
Before NASA started using SpaceX they basically didn't have launch capacity. They were sending astronauts to the ISS on Soyuz rockets. A private US company being the best available launch provider is an improvement on the previous status quo.

Beyond that, there are now many, many other private endeavors working to add launch capacity, many of which exist thanks to SpaceX.
Am sorry but I'm not sure what would be the right books/courses for each of the step. Can you please help with that too?
In NSW, the red man is always there. No indication that the button press did anything at all.

Feedback would obviously solve (or at least alleviate) the problem I mentioned. It would, however, be much less amusing.
> Spend an hour on /r/regretfulparents and see it resonates at all

Holy shit, that's some depressing stuff

I didn't particularly want kids, but my wife really wanted them. Took me some time to adjust, and when they're very little it's a real slog, but ... well, they're just people, people who are biologically pre-disposed to love you very much, and who you are biologically pre-disposed to love very much. The enormous amount of love that comes into your life when you're a parent is the upside of the whole thing that's invisible to non-parents
815 Kg curb weight, aluminum chassis. It makes sense for a vehicle with that form factor (2 seater little sports car) but you can't really compare it with a full sized sedan, and note too that it has a tiny battery pack (22 KWh), range is 'unofficial' 300 Km and likely will be adjusted down based on weight/pack size. The four motors together are less than half the rated power of what you'd find in a more conventional (is there such a thing already?) EV. But with that light total weight it will be a zippy little car anyway (most EVs are over-powered for their weight).

Still, very impressive achievement and a nice testbed for this kind of tech, it may also make sense for motorcycles and for vehicles that are not meant for highway use.
BBC 6 Music is a great example of what I'm talking about, they have such excellent taste. I've discovered so much great music listening to them.
Ah, I misunderstood your comment. I thought you were saying that free speech in the US was more under threat than previously.
That's not a good advice IMO, as most sudo commands will mess-up just one host, and it's something you should generally be prepared for. You're more likely to develop a culture where engineers think about hosts as critical resources whereas they should be generally considered as instances that can be thrown away. It's better to identify hosts that are SPOF and be cautious on those only.

I can think of a larger blast radius when deleting files on a shared mount point for example but it's not representative to the regular use of sudo.
Also, a key problem that some of those “ideal” colour choices run into is how many people out there have shockingly bad screens, or half decent screens setup oddly for their lighting environment. What looks more pleasant on my screen and yours, using choices that are not “all over the colour wheel” might result in things not looking different enough on other people's screens. Sometimes it is fine when the colours are next to each other, but not when they are shown alone or on the same display but far apart. The “same display but far apart” can be an issue itself with really bad displays, with, for example, two colours that look distinct in one corner looking almost identical in another or in the middle.

A milder symptom of the issue is that even for people with good enough screens setup reasonably well, there will be differences between them that compound the fact that we all perceive what is good in colour selections slightly differently to become an obvious example of the adage “you can't please everyone all the time”.

> the license/attribution-requirement is kinda annoying

There might be circumstances where it is a mild inconvenience, but I don't see the attribution clause of CC-BY to be at all arduous. Though I would suggest they change the text to explicitly mention v4 (the link does, but the text doesn't) – earlier versions of the BY licences had an accidental trap that could be used by unpleasantly by legal trolls in some jurisdictions (ref: https://creativecommons.org/2022/02/08/copyleft-trolls/)
Yes - for me 911 or my ultimate dream: M3.

And the best part: you will still enjoy it even when you are going slow or sitting idle because both cars SOUND amazing.

Maybe I’m a purist but as a 41 year old adult I still sprint off my couch to look out the window every time I hear an interesting car pass by my house.
The thing that struck me here is that Chrome crash reporting is disabled for security reasons, presumably not wanting to risk customer information being sent to a third party, but Grammerly is apparently fine? How is a tool that sends literally everything you type to a third party ok, but one that maybe sends something if the browser crashes isn't?
Did we get worse at maths by using computers to do our computation?
And due to the weight, it needs to be speed limited to 60mph or less depending on the country.
That’s what I mean though, they aren’t Ticketmaster. They are easily replaceable.

“Initiating churn for no user value” that doesn’t mean anything. Basecamp was acting a fool and pissed off a group of purchase decision makers. And unlike companies like Ticketmaster or Apple/Google/Amazon, their product has a wide variety of alternatives.

I am aware of a company that switched away from AWS to GCP just because Jeff Bezos did something specific that personally annoyed the CEO. There was no significant cost savings and the effort to switch was relatively large.
Allergies can also trigger fevers and I don't think that dust my body is busy fighting is getting more dead than it already is.
> are you asking for the readily available pictures online of the dogs with guns mounted on them?

I am actually, yes.

Are you referring the company Ghost Robotics? That is a different company.

Or are you referring to the art installation which mounted a paintball gun on a Boston Dynamics robot which was heavily criticised by the company itself?

Which one do you think supports the robots being "murderous"?

Besides, assuming that you are a human being, I can find plenty of images of those holding guns. Are you a murderer too then?

poor comparison but his legacy will probably be split like churchill.

anyways for me it was a reminder that the world is not fair.
Yes, it actually did. And as it says in the link:

>".... if they can detect and preserve fabric, rope, cloud, and other textures, why not skin texture as well?"

The phone changed the image on skin and not on random other things that wasn't a face. That is a filter, not normal image processing, when it happens only on X but not on Y. The only way to not get this filter on the phone is using RAW.
Yes, the impact from a pothole can be substantial. Having an upset alignment is one thing, damaging the guts of an in-wheel motor is a totally different picture. But: when properly packaged and lightweight enough I think that is a secondary concern, you can design with that in mind given that it is more or less predictable from which direction and with which magnitude such an impact would happen. But every pound counts and the shocks+spring will have to be matched to the increased weight.
It's already a common mistake in this world of human written dictionaries.
