> According to Tesla's own data, at the end of 2022 US customers using Autopilot averaged one crash where the airbag deployed roughly every 5 million miles travelled.

> It claims that Tesla drivers not using it averaged once every 1.5 million miles or so.

However, we don’t know whether this is comparing like for like. Perhaps the different numbers are due to the kind of places where people typically engage autopilot, instead of an inherent difference between autopilot enabled or disabled.
People are probably turned off to the comment because of all the complaining about “identity politics”.

> “Nearly all experts and celebrities use ghostwriters,”

Funny enough, my mind first went to Bernie Sanders' My Revolution.

Either he didn't use a ghostwriter, or the ghostwriter was Larry David doing a Bernie Sanders impression.

The Wikipedia entry for the book doesn't mention a ghostwriter[1]. But after reading this article, I think Wikipedia should have a policy of explicitly stating so-and-so did not use a ghostwriter for what are apparently edge cases.

Hey Wikipedians-- can you make this so?

Hmm. I don't know whether you edited your comment or I misread it, ..

You can be sure I had a moment of panic on seeing your reply that I had written 'believes' instead of 'disbelieves', but no, on checking, I saw that I had really written 'disbelieves' after all. :)

> Competition exists in markets, sure, but it's not the point of the market per se. That's psychotic.

Competition is the point of every ecosystem, insofar as there is a point. The properties of an ecosystem are fundamentally emergent wherever living organisms interact, in markets or otherwise.

> so I, the starving man, am morally obligated to accept my death outside the walls of that warehouse

Why is this view so foreign? I don't expect you to adopt it per se, but surely you can see that yours is not the only perspective. There are many people who would prefer to commit suicide in dignity rather than live to seem themselves become a burden on others. There are even those who would rather die screaming in agony rather than pry greedily into the pockets of strangers.

> enable the good

Ah yes but then the you have to define "the good" which is notoriously challenging, and also be sufficiently comfortable in your definition to impose it by force on others who may disagree. I'm just not sufficiently comfortable with anyone's definition of "the good", my own included, to make that leap.

> A scenario where people are starving, but where there are warehouses full of food, is one that demonstrates some degree of dysfunction

I disagree, this scenario exists all over the natural world, and is fundamental to all ecosystems. In a competitive environment (which again, is inevitable), it's optimal to ruthlessly defend the maximum you are capable of, rather than the minimum you need to survive.
I did that once. Got banned, with no recourse. It was a country-specific Wikipedia though, not the English one. But I did not even edit the page, just made the case for it on the Talk page, someone else edited it and I got banned with a bunch of others. Never again.
Yeah I've noticed that kind of thing too. I find most of their titles very very clickbaity, which isn't uncommon these days, but for an outlet that a lot of Aussies have seemed to hold up as our best and most reliable, I can't reconcile that anymore.
John Osborne actually. But never Oasis ;0
Except it didn’t.
I would rather see something else: a "cap stone" per course that incorporates all of the topics taught within that course. I could bang out 4 years worth of courses in a year if that were the case. And I would be finding some use for what was taught, rather than just learning to pass an exam. I would rather build a database than obsess over cardinalities and other theoretic stuff; atleast at that point I would understand why cardinalities are important -- instead of an annoyance with no point.

Plus, it's easier to accomplish when you absorb yourself in one topic, rather than 3-6 at one time. Too much multitasking is unproductive, ineffective, and an easy way to hate your life.
Show HN: Frogtab – Private, peaceful task management
Hi HN! I'm excited to share the task manager that I've been building and relying on for the past 9 months

I started developing Frogtab after a particularly busy period at work, where a large number of ad-hoc tasks would need my attention each day. What I Initially tried was a single (long!) checklist of outstanding tasks, but I found that too overwhelming to look at all day long. Then I tried scheduling tasks based on when I expected to complete them, but that also required too much cognitive load - I only had the capacity to bucket tasks into "today" and "not today"

And so Frogtab was born. Originally as a Google doc, then later as a rudimentary web app with some simple automation. The automation was there to nudge me towards good habits, e.g., grouping all my outstanding tasks at the beginning of each day and requiring me to consciously choose which tasks to tackle that day. I subsequently refined the system a little, but the core mechanic has been serving me well ever since!

More than the benefits I've gotten from using Frogtab at work, it's been really fun to develop Frogtab into a form that is usable - dare I say enjoyable - by other people too. Thanks to feedback from the awesome community at Bear (bearblog.dev) and also from sharing an early version here on HN, I've been able to make a whole host of improvements to Frogtab

Highlights include:

- Support for a weekly routine, aka recurring tasks

- Data export and import, including auto-backup in supported browsers

- Ability to receive tasks sent from any device

- Dark theme

- Keyboard shortcuts

- Full docs at frogtab.com/help

As I've been developing Frogtab, one of my primary concerns has been data privacy. Frogtab stores data in your bowser and doesn't require an account. Also, Frogtab does not use cookies, collect PII, serve ads, or track you in any way. It's entirely free to use and fully open source - the code is at github.com/dwilding/frogtab

If you try Frogtab, I hope that you have a great experience! I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions, thank you :)
Perhaps the most fascinating thing about reading this (a mere!) two years later is how much its speculative future, vivid and unsettling portrayal notwithstanding, is almost certainly no longer a possibility for ours. Imagine, simulating an entire human brain to perform tasks it turns out need only a vague, brute-forced approximation of our language centers!

It's like Jules Verne imagining, in exquisitely plausible detail, a flying machine whose many complex mechanisms and articulations at last allow man to fly like the birds – only a few years before the Wright brothers prove all you need is a fixed wing, a few cleverly-placed flaps, and enough thrust.

Take the laws that enrich them allow away from them.

They’re just people. Not divine mandates. There is zero real obligation to serve contemporary socio-political and economic norms.

Not really finding any of this progress in computing shocking though. Unix and that model wastes a lot of resources dealing with strings.

What a shock we reduce the amount of fluff to just enough symbolic logic to instigate appropriate electron state to solve a problem, rather than brag about a new DSL to tokenize, parse and logic to process bespoke template syntax in yet more asinine “file formats” …once you remove the chimps chasing Shakespeare, superfluous state doing nothing but propping up venture backed coder boot camp grads jobs we find super powerful software.

Shocking, I’m shocked.
It's dark because OLED are not bright at all. Anything brighter than the filmmaker mode is modifying the source image to achieve it, or alternatively driving the pixels in a way that loses color accuracy.

If you care about film and getting the closest result to what the actual thing is supposed to look like you're going to need to couple correct settings with a light controlled room for best results. Or don't use OLED, because, it simply can't achieve the brightness of cinema projection, not even close.

Personally I like the results of a 120hz OLED so much better than other options that I strongly favor a light controlled space for movie watching. For lower grade junk it's usually easy enough to swap to another viewing preset that is brighter.
Open models are a good thing fir the world, but doing a good job of developing and releasing those is not a way, in its own, to pay the bills, and selling access to the same models as a paid service can be challenging.
> I remember doing similar tricks when I was a kid. Nowadays I simply won't even care trying. The problem clearly isn't supposed to be solved this way.

Not to be too harsh (maybe to be somewhat harsh given I had such a distaste for what you wrote?), but why would you post this on a site called Hacker News? I can't think of a better implementation of the "hacker ethos" than this project: look at a hard problem, and when the "straightforward" approach doesn't work, find a workaround.

More to your specific point about "Apple is simply going to pull the plug", there are technical and business reasons why they might not want to, at least not quickly. First, as mentioned in the other Beeper thread, there are lots of older Mac devices without a secure enclave, and breaking Beeper would likely break them as well. Second, from a business and regulatory perspective, Apple might have to do a careful dance regarding how to shut this down without looking blatantly anti-competitive.

That is irrelevant and a pernicious myth when buying an EV - that renewable power is already mostly all used.

When adding load you need to consider where the extra power is generated from for your location. Also see sibling comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38536601 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27317119 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26255833

Sorry: I'm probably answering a point that you are not making.
That's my understanding, yeah. I don't love my apple ID being signed into a box I can't access, so would love to see THIS service go cross platform.
It's an incentives problem. Nearly all of the world's power is generated by spinning a turbine with steam, so, we have a direct, actionable, incentive to make that process as efficient as possible, and we have indeed done this and continue to do this. Modern steam turbines are wildly efficient.

That doesn't mean that they are the only thing that can be efficient, just that they're the current best option, and, any other option is going to have to show immense promise in order to get the funding to catch up to where we are now with steam.

The only thing on my radar that bypasses steam entirely is what Helion Energy is doing up in washington with their experimental fusion devices. The basic idea being that you're using a pulsed fusion reaction and intentionally not containing it, instead using the energy produced to push back on the magnetic containment and generate power. No idea if it'll work out to be viable, but it at least makes sense on paper.
I think it's a bad idea to lock out unattested clients, and as long as third-party clients are accepted, spam will always be sendable. If you're not doing end-to-end encryption, you can catch it at send time by having the server reject the client for sending spam. If you're doing end-to-end encryption, the only options are the sender or the recipient, and attempting to block it at the sender would require prohibiting interoperability.

I haven’t seen a commercial in quite a long time, but for a while many years ago, Shazam was being used like an audio QR code. Commercials would tell you to use Shazam on their ad to get a deal or something. My guess is after Apple bought Shazam they stopped needing to do stuff like that to monetize.
> It's not the work now that's at issue but the work of the future to fix "Mr. Smith is a poopy head" vandalism on content that gets few views.

If it gets few views it's not important to fix, and if any of the few views cares they can fix it. Lets not pretend that each page needs the same level of attention. A random middle school wikipedia page having a slightly out of date content or even vandalism isn't a big deal at all and can be fixed, and if it's not fixed - it has few views anyway. Wikipedia already acknowledges this and certain pages are much harder to edit than others.

You could even have a computer class where kids from the school would update their school's wiki page as a way to learn how to contribute to wikipedia. Might actually be the easiest type of page in the whole wiki to keep fresh now that I think about it, while creating a whole generation of interested editors.

It's like they think they run a paper version of a encyclopedia with these rules about what is notable or not.
> now feels much more important than any future time as an immortal instance freely exploring the wonders of the universe

If you had this preference before, would you say having kids altered your preferences?

> If you want to chase immortality don't have kids. It will seriously change how to perceive things.

Then I wonder if, in a sense, kids are like drugs: they alter your utility function to put something else first in line, so preserving yourself comes at best as a 2nd choice after prioritizing the first choice.

I don't think it'd be rational to "chose" to get addicted to a dangerous drug, and for the same reason just like you I think that you shouldn't have kids if you want to chase immortality.
I don't know why people keep saying that CRTs have uniquely high responsiveness, a high refresh rate OLED display is going to leave a CRT in the dust. A 60 Hz CRT is going to take at least 1/60th of a second to draw a frame (16.66 ms), while a 240 Hz OLED will take 1/4 the time (pixel response times of OLEDs are less than a ms)
I love this idea. Instead of doomscrolling news or giving your time to the attention economy in other ways, this is like solving interesting puzzles.
Yes I realized too late the term might be confusing. It's a radios streaming website/app, so not nerdy.

There is an Android app that uses a webview so that even favours Chrome. Also GoAccess doesn't unfortunately filter all scrappers/bots and most of them declare themselves as Chrome.

A sizeable part of the traffic is (non-app) Android and I don't think Firefox is huge there so maybe on desktop Firefox market-share is actually not as bad as we think?

A model for algorithms would not be trained on code but mathematics with some limited psuedocode.

IIRC there are some people looking at theorem proving with LLMs, but the reality is they don't have to do anything foundational or groundbreaking to be of value in assisting, supplanting, or replacing the vast majority of people who interact with computer code.

We are talking about the field that openly just memorized leetcode questions to "make it", right?

Why should we have such high standards for tools when we don't even apply them to the "best and brightest"
I sure hope so.

Honestly, we shouldn't need AI/ML for this. We have so many well established need and use patterns that we should already have standardized "lego" style functionality blocks, optionally with interchangeable wrappers to provide customization options (common automatic options or even programmable ones).

The reason we're still all reinvinting wheels all the time is, frankly, because it's too easy to do our own thing. I would never advocate for this (and I'm not an MS guy), but perhaps if Microsoft had won the world and Linux had never existed, we would all be using the same MS libraries and possibly be further down the road than we are.

That was pre 1989 under Russian occupation of my country.

I was a SoundHound user for a long time. It came out around the same time as Shazam. Shazam had all the brand recognition, but I typically went for the underdog.

Recently, in an effort to simply things, I moved over to Shazam. It’s owned by Apple now, so it’s already built into the iPhone, even without the app. The app allows for saving things a bit easier and I find it to be a lot cleaner than the SoundHound app.
It irritates me, too.

But honestly, how harmful is it to your business unless your addressable market is mostly English majors? And even then, it probably prompts interaction from the English majors, who can finally show off a little with a correction.
I don't think so. It's 5000 from each loser and there are two potential losers so 5000*2=10000 and 2:10000 is the same as 1:5000.
Xkeyscore?
While I will definitely agree that Signal is more secure:

There is a newer version of the iMessage encryption (sometimes called "pair-ec") which uses ECIES. Beeper implements it, I never got around to backporting it to pypush proper.

Also, the new Contact Key Verification (I believe it is the same thing as "key transparency" internally) should prevent the man-in-the-middle.

A lot of the things you mentioned can actually be solved on the pypush side: there's nothing preventing pypush from alerting you when a new key is inserted, or providing you with the fingerprints of each of the keys.

I'm not an expert on these things, but I do think it is time that another analysis by a proper cryptographer was done: the one you linked was from 2015, and a lot has changed since then.

Anyway, the point of iMessage is convenience, if we're being honest here. It provides a reasonable level of security that will keep out all but the most entrenched and determined attackers, and that's really all most people care about.

LLMs are not restricted to generating code either.
