I like this. How does this work? Is there an api you use to obtain the text from the wiki articles?
It looks like the recall will be addressed with a software update, which will probably limit autopilot to highway use only. That seems like a reasonable step, in line with Autopilot’s intended use.
There are a surprising number of Apple and Tesla posts lately. While I am not yet convinced it is being outright paid for, but there does seem to be a higher concentration of specific brand advocacy here than there used to be. I wonder if it has to do with so many people also being share holders with a vested interest in their success?
Over Covid, I got really into solving the Rubik’s cube. I couldn’t find any minimalistic apps to help me time myself and learn algorithms. So, I ended up writing an app for myself, which I later showed off on Reddit.

People really seemed to like the design, so I cleaned it up a bit and made it available to everyone. The site (https://cubedesk.io) has been free to use for 3 years and has 50k users.

Most recently, I've been working on an email marketing platform to help me email those 50k users. I noticed that emailing all those people was expensive and tedious, so created and launched https://cc.dev
Yes, that is annoying. I live somewhere that isn't natively English speaking and so I mostly only have the option to get subtitles in that language even though I read English much better than the local language. I can follow subtitles in a second language, but it's a fair bit more effort (and many people who live here can't do that at all.)

I always found it extremely weird that no one runs even the most basic back of envelope calculations on things like this. Like how much power and at what cost we need to input or what is the throughput of some system and then how much we need to charge just to cover the building costs...

Most simple multiplication and division... Just to get some idea of unit economics. Thus do things make sense even in your own fantasy world of ultra-rich tech workers.
And that's what everyone else doesn't want, what makes it such a PITA to use for those that don't need it. Essentially I think anyone looking for or interested in an 'alternative to Jira' exactly doesn't want that mess to follow them away from it.

There's nothing about vertical farming that wouldn't be better done by a greenhouse outside of a city. Or, in many circumstances, just a regular farm.
Kinda similar story for me.

I was trying to find a used motorcycle. So I created an in-browser javascript app that could go over the listings in a country local second hand site, and score the listings to my liking. Like decrease for long mileage, increase for young age.

That worked pretty well and found me a great one. Good times.
Former AppHarvest employee - similar company, similar outcome.

The absolute naivety / arrogance of some of these green tech companies is astounding. The basic assumption of a lot of these types of companies are “We’re smart tech people who are good at fundraising. We are absolutely equipped to solve this problem of indoor horticulture.” Almost all of them think that they have nothing to learn from an existing industry with decades of experience in growing produce at scale in greenhouses.

Warning signs:

1. Not hiring anyone with prior experience working in industrial scale greenhouse ag. (They’re the sort of people you would expect to know about basic operations, labor, pest control, etc.)

2. Not listening to those people once they did hire them.

3. Trying to position / advertise themselves as tech companies rather than agriculture companies for the express purpose of inflating their valuation.

The experience really soured me on green tech and agtech. The problems they need to solve aren’t technological at all. They have to do with distribution of the produce.

Jonathan Webb and the entire AppHarvest leadership team can absolutely go fuck themselves. They are at best disingenuous, at worst, cash-grabbing liars.
We can find countless examples of high paying jobs that are absolutely useless to our industrial civilisation. The answer is likely a mixture of both: salaries are not that much correlated to skill and value overall, and some industries have much lower margins than others.

Having to compete with the likes of Airbus and ULA for workers, SpaceX doesn't need to inflate the salaries that much to get top talents.
Lawyers throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.
It’s an understatement but there may be monies lying around in equipment and IP and some other corners.
It definitely implies so. It’s authored by Pierre Kory, one of the leaders of a small group called the “Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance”[1]. They promoted numerous non-solutions during the pandemic and seem to be generally discredited.

I’m really cautious about the conclusions in this article. It would be a big change for him to start making well reasoned, good faith arguments on this subject matter all of a sudden.

Android's back button gesture isn't handled by the app, and Android currently doesn't have a global "forward" key. I don't think we'll see a forward swipe soon.

I'm also not so sure about the ergonomics of thst approach, I'm sure left-handed people would get annoyed that either their back gesture is now harder to pull off, or their forward gesture is pointing backwards (and doesn't work on right-handed phones).
Yeah, except for ones they currently sell: https://www.apple.com/iphone-se/
Source that they are required to hand over data without a warrant? Genuinely asking
I just searched a bit and it seems waymo is considered level 4. You just can't buy the cars as consumers.

And from a consumer point of view, Tesla pilot is more capable than the one from mercedes. But legally you can take the hands and eyes of the road on the Mercedes.

They are for sale https://buygithub.com/product/stars/ so it is very suspicious in this case, when there is a sudden spike, a marketing blog mentioning them.

My personal experience is that most stars on my projects come from empty accounts that star random stuff to avoid getting detected when they star the projects that paid.
I wrote a Prometheus exporter for metrics gathered from the air conditioning unit in my home lab. The A/C unit has a slot for a network management card (NMC) which is a tiny Linux machine that exposes a web interface and SNMP while communicating with the A/C. I wanted to just use SNMP for this but for some reason there isn't any useful data specific to the A/C being exported, only typical Linux machine data. I did some additional searching and found that there was an API available on the web interface and sought to just scrape that instead.

Normally I would have written this kind of thing in Python since I'm more familiar with the language, but I wanted to take the plunge into Rust and this is the first project I created using it. There's still a couple bugs that I haven't gotten around to fixing like finding out why the Prometheus metrics descriptions don't get displayed in Grafana or finding out why the NMC itself just seems to need to be manually rebooted every few weeks. Other than that it's been working great.

Didn't watch Homicide until last year, and at first it was really jarring to see Braugher as Pembleton because it's such a different character from Holt. And that's of course praise for Braugher because he did such a great job with two completely different characters.
I played through the "fall of the ming dynasty" one when I saw your submission and it was pretty fun. I do find they are a little too easy to persuade of heroic things. It's easy to lead a heroic resistance and win the fight within a turn or two if you provide a justification, no matter how tenuous or unlikely. Especially if it's "feelgood" like you stand on a table and make a speech about how the wealthy kleptocrat emperor should agree to give the peasants their freedom if they resist the invaders or whatever (even if that makes no sense and would never work)
Software installation, even for simple trials reminds me of this Stephen Hawking quote:

"Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales. I therefore resolved not to have any equations at all. In the end, however, I did put in one equation, Einstein's famous equation, E = mc squared. I hope that this will not scare off half of my potential readers."

It just feels like that law can be adapted to: for every step and pre-requisite in your setup, you lose half your potential customers.

Of course, it's not precisely that, but it feels the same.
Thanks for trying it out!

I prefilled the answer for week 1 was to help people understand the boilerplate needed better, but maybe that was giving too much away. I'll try putting something more minimal in.

Unfortunately you can't use the buttons inside the iframe because of CORS issues. Not sure if there's any easy workaround for that :(
That's not a sufficient test, because when put under the gun there's no reason not to believe that a company playing those kinds of games won't take that pull request, temporarily improving the situation, and then simply make no effort to keep it up to date later. Addresses the temporary embarrassment, but not the underlying problem.

Mind, I don't think Plane's one of these. The open-source release seems comprehensive and the doc just seems not very good because the people who wrote it are experienced operators. But the claim being made isn't one that's easily put to rest except through the company in question committing to enthusiastic and comprehensive support that dispels doubts. (And, well--they chose that life!)
Very simple reasons actually. VCs dont fund people based on logic, but on ability to BS.

Go hang out with some bootstrapped founders. They will have great common sense. If not they are dead.
> Why not regulate speech that criticizes the government because it causes harm, seeds distrust in government institutions and misleads voters to make the wrong choice.

The answer is extremely, extremely simple actually: because the outcome of that would be bad, while the outcome of controlling misleading advertising is good.

It really is that simple.
A browser based controller for the LEGO Duplo train using the Web Bluetooth API. It works best on mobiles in portrait mode and you can find it here: https://legotrain.netlify.app/

The source is a single HTML file that also contains the JS. Just view source and modify if you're interested in taking this further. What's cool is that the protocol allows you to receive readings from the train and not just send commands. Also, it allows you to drive the train faster than you can via the official mobile app.

To me, this is the baby that got thrown out with the bathwater in the whole NFT debacle.

Yes, yes just about the entire NFT thing was just the obvious financial scams you can’t pull off in the real economy anymore. But the idea of an independent way to show your receipts? I think that’s got some real value.

So you bought access to video X. Maybe on PlayStation (sorry). Maybe through a streaming service. Why does it matter how you get the bits that constitute video X? Why does it matter what software you use to consume those bits?

Unfortunately the answer is that IP rights treat the medium and the message as different things. You need that, to some extent, to encourage folks to package things well (eg 4k remaster an older movie). But what if we fixed that?

I want to live in a world where it’s obvious that I have a legal right to watch the Infinity Saga Supercut [0] when I have an active Disney+ subscription. And when I have the DVD of all the movies. And when I have a mix of BlueRay, dvd, digital purchases, movie channels, etc.

It should also be obviously ok for me to have the Infinity Saga stored locally, without DRM, and cached on a couple iPads. And if Infinity Saga is uploaded to YouTube, I should get to watch it with reduced or no ads.

Also software development. I would gladly keep on paying for copilot if it just does what it does right now. It makes writing code (the part I find least interesting in software development) just a tad bit less boring.
The point of vertical farming is that land is scarce (particularly in cities) and the idea is to reduce the footprint of the farms. So yeah, of course what you’re suggesting works since it already works today…
What would happen if that part was removed and 100 years from now, another group tried to claim Israel as their self-determined government?

Every time Jewish people try to be a peaceful minority inside someone else's society, they face discrimination, exile, or pogroms. And it just happens that many government leaders of neighboring countries have repeatedly declared their intention (or heck, literally tried) to mass murder them.
Or they do have such logs, but don’t feel like taking the reputation hit of telling you what happened.
Ask HN: Recommended software engineering podcasts for more senior devs?
Hi HN,

I'm on the lookout for "no-fluff" software engineering podcasts. I find myself disenchanted with many of the more popular options today. A common issue I've encountered is that the guests are often either "influencers" or relatively new in their careers. While there's value in diverse perspectives - and I enjoyed those podcasts in the first few years of my career - I'm particularly interested in podcasts that have more seasoned professionals and delve deep into the nuances of software engineering without unnecessary "waffle".

Specifically, I'm looking for podcasts where:

* Guests have substantial experience in the field of software engineering.

* Topics are discussed in-depth, with a focus on technical insights rather than personal branding or surface-level content.

* The tone is professional-ish. I don't mind some jokes but I'm not looking for an entertainment podcast. I have enough good options in that category.

If you have any recommendations that align with these criteria, I would greatly appreciate your input. Additionally, if there are certain episodes of a generally broader podcast that you found exceptionally insightful, feel free to mention those as well. I'm deliberately choosing to not specify specific languages, etc. as this post should be helpful to the wider HN population.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Let’s just godwins law this immediately. Nazi soldiers were paid to round up undesirables and execute them, and that’s what they did. We still took issue with it. Your argument is fundamentally the same as “just following orders”
In my spare time I created Dash. An app used to track metrics from Strava in the form of iOS widgets. Officially Strava hasn't done much on this front, so I took the matter into my own hands. After two years, I still use Dash every day. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/dash-widgets-for-strava/id1556...

Wait, they grew an artificial brain, connected it to a computer, and define the major "problem" as "how to keep the organoids alive"?

I have never really used an ad blocker for any kind of time. I've tried on multiple occasions but then just range uninstall it whenever some random site breaks because of it and I don't realise it's because of it. Last time it was some online shop...

Regardless of the morality / philosophical questions, the modern web feels to janky and unstable for me to trust the house of cards staying standing if you throw some Adblock in there.

(But maybe I just didn't tweak the blocker enough...)
i was burned badly by mattermost when their expert functionality didn't work for months and eventually i missed the archival deadline and lost all of the history for a project.
I wonder if this is a cultural difference. When I was a kid, because people did this all the time for various reasons. It's less common now (or at least, in the circle of people who ride in my car it is), especially with better door ajar sensors, but still a situation in which if it happened in my car I would guess the door hadn't been shut all the way and they were just closing it. As a teenager/20s in the 90s/00s, having tobacco spit and realizing you forgot your cup was a semi-common reason to do that. The alternative (assuming you weren't so classless as to spit on the floormat) was to swallow the spit which is really terrible for you.
The iPhone didn't have any revolutionary tech, in fact, it was quite lacking when you compare what was out there and that's why many people claimed that it will fail.

What iPhone had was a revolutionary user interface that provided the outstanding user experience despite lacking a lot of features and functions.
Maybe I will buy that Mitsubishi Mirage after all.
I would not think that Brooklyn 99 qualifies as a "cultural artifact".

But I think I get what you mean. I think that what GP (and you) were referring to was the act of watching the show, which would remind the watcher of Andre Braugher's death.
Do you have a source on those claims?

All I can find is Europe experiencing excess death:

And similarly, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have 1/1000 rate of serious adverse events:

It’s actually worse today than it was then.

One thing to note is that if you are looking at the premium model charts, the last 20 trades will be hidden if you don't have the appropriate access tier so you could be missing the last 6+ months depending on which model you are looking at. 2023 has actually been a strong year for most models. The first half of 2022 was quite poor as several of the models had a structurally hard time adjusting to the new bear market, high inflation and rapidly increasing interest rates.

On each model's summary table you can check the YTD performance, and note that most of the positive performance came from this year, with last year flat to slightly negative (which was still good compared to the market's abysmal performance last year). i.e. the model you linked above is up 28% this year.

Also, of importance to note is that every model has a varying live start date but also includes the backtest period in the chart. It's always wise to assume that models will underperform their backtests in live trading. However, our goal is to build models robust enough that they can underperform the backtest while still substantially outperforming the S&P 500 on both absolute and risk-adjusted basis.

Lastly, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "automatic trade copying", but we do have a few Platinum members who've opted to use our managed account, whereby your IB account will be set up with the same trade execution software I use in production to automatically follow the VIX TA Macro MP Extreme model signal changes, implemented by a combination of ES and MES futures trades.
If they hadn't mentioned stars we'd know they don't care. Now I'm almost certain they paid for them.

That may or may not be an intended "role" of archive services like arXiv, but it's one more reason, on top of many other reasons, why such services are gradually, and in my view deservedly, becoming the dominant platforms for sharing and preserving new research. Regardless of how we may think archival is most "easily" addressed, note that arXiv alone is already ~50x bigger than clockss.

A company is not a natural person.
It seems the article was going to say it was an increasing drug-use (opioid) and mental health epidemic in the US (which seems likely true). Then took a left turn and blamed the deaths of middle aged people on getting a Covid vaccine as a baby—citing a yale study on side-effects that showed people were more depressed and anxious post-vaccination than they expected as “evidence” that the vaccine was contributing to excess mortality
Agreed.

First amendment protections should only apply to individuals anyway. Tesla doesn’t have a sane argument here since Tesla is not a person.

(I recognize there’s a whole bag of worms around corporations and attempts to treat them like individuals in the eyes of the law.)
Does anybody have a good sense of how impactful this will really be? I've grown cynical over the years after plenty of big announcements but very little in the way of big action.
You are right Ivermectin is an antiviral and also right many Americans (and not only) took it. The results however, according to Google at least, seem to be at most "meh". The first results page shows only one positive correlation: in hamsters. But I'd be happy to see some more positive studies.
Fortunately, cats usually aren't given control over a steering wheel :)

It's not black and white, but cloning a product is just not nice. The legality is probably fine, there might be an argument for copyright infringements, but unlikely to get any result.

Imo it's also good to realize in this kind of software, patterns and UI are very core to the product, so you are copying the essence of what this company has spend tons of time and resources to develop. Fintech might be different as it's less about UI.

Then there is also a difference between UI patterns and branding. The first: It's good to follow standards and expectations, the second should just not be copied imo.

Another factor is asking money for it, which it looks like they intent to do. I think that makes it even weirder to clone an existing product as now you try to compete and profit from other peoples work.

There is a fine but clear line between inspiration and copying, and imo this crosses the line.

Even if legal I would not use this product for that reason, and imo it reflects poorly on the people doing it.
The fact that you had to explain how it works indicates that a bit more consistency might be beneficial.

I will never comprehend how Hugh Laurie is british. His american accent in House MD was impeccable, and even his american-guy-trying-to-imitate-british-guy accent left nothing to be desired.
