Anyone with a little bit of nutritional knowledge knows that having a nutritious diet is a major part of athletic competitiveness. Poverty limits or eliminates the ability of a parent to provide nutritious meals.

There's certainly going to be a level of natural talent that exists, but everyone who comes from poverty are playing with major handicaps.

With regard to your tweet, I can only see the first post as I don't get my information from unsourced tiwtter posts and do not have a login. That first post does not say does not say that "all statistics we know about Oct 7th are fake" but if you can find an actual source that says that Oct 7th was fake I'd be gals to see it. Especially in light of videos showing Hamas terrorists killing civilians. What exactly is your claim? That Hamas did not invade, or that they did invade, but not with guns, and that the IDF took the chance to kill its civilians at "that stupid festival"? Or that they did have guns but didn't use them because they were just going for a visit?

The average person understands “recall” to mean “something about my car may be unsafe, I should read it”. If you’ve owned a car, you’ve gotten plenty of these and many of them are minor - for example, when I lived in San Diego I did not race to the dealership when Subaru put out a recall telling you to have the underbody inspected for defects which could cause elevated corrosion with frequent exposure to road salt because I knew my vehicle didn’t fall into that category. The recall mechanism meant I got it taken care of a year later when I had other work being done.

I'd argue that intelligence is precisely the ability to predict (and therefore also plan) outcomes based on prior experience. The ability to perceive and predict what happens next; the ability to predict/plan/act and be mostly correct about what you predicted would happen as a result of your actions.

With this definition, LLMs in their ability to predict can reasonably be considered to display some basic form of intelligence, even if only in their own world of words rather than the world at large. If we build embodied robots with a similar ability to predict, and also the ability to continually update their predictions based on prediction success/failure (the closed loop that is missing from LLMs), then we'll have something much more recognizably close to animal intelligence.

The PSP was amazing. The PS Vita - on a whole 'nother level, both performance-wise and controller improvement. It wasn't until the Switch came around in 2017 (purchased in 2018) that we realized HD (720p) gaming on a handheld machine. The fact that so many AAA games have been ported down to it is a testimony to its capabilities. Not a fan of nVIDIA in general, but they did an amazing job with this unit.

>> The Starlink service is popular, because it generally works, and it's better than what a lot of people even have available to them in many parts of the country or in specific situations (like fulltime RVers).

Right. And the issue is the ratio of popularity to supply. A neighbor near a family cabin in rural Maine, where the service is only copper ~10mbps down/1 up and more expensive that FIOS at home just installed two Starlinks. They're generally satisfied, but the first thing they mentioned is occasional slow speeds.

The officials in charge of the contract must ensure that the required service level will be met. Granting nearly a Billion dollars to provide a level of service, and then having them say "sorry, it's too popular and everyone is slow" will not cut it. Everyone (I hope including you) would be screaming about wasting taxpayer dollars on a service that did not provide the service.

I'm sure one fix for Starlink would be to offer a prioritized service level for all of the rural broadband customers. Yes, this could mean that RVers might just wind up with no service at some times and locales, but if Starlink really wants that contract, perhaps they should offer that assurance.
Do the wealthy not read books or newspapers? Watch film? Listen to music? It's unfathomable to me how anyone can grow up without gaining some understanding of poverty. I know it can happen, but I personally think it's more likely they pretend to not understand because it is inconvenient.
An FCC commissioner indicates that the FCC is yoinking the award because it thinks SpaceX won't hit the 2025 targets, yet many other award recipients have no service and no rollout and no speeds to even measure:

> What good is an agreement to build out service by 2025 if the FCC can, on a whim, hold you to it
in 2022 instead? In 2022, many RDOF recipients had deployed no service at any speed to any location at
all, and they had no obligation to do so. By contrast, Starlink had half a million subscribers in June 2022
(and about two million in September 2023). The majority’s only response to this point is that those other
recipients were relying on proven technologies like fiber, while SpaceX was relying on new LEO
technology.

TLDR: https://github.com/ja-he/dayplan is a TUI calendar planning/time tracking tool I made.

Early in my University time I always felt most productive when sketching out my day in Google calendar, then keeping up with that plan and if necessary, adjusting it.
For a long time I was envisioning something that would allow me to follow that workflow but without the browser window or telling Google my plans, ideally in the terminal, ideallyer something as nice to use as Vim.

When I sat down to learn Go I decided to make that my project and, although messy, it's become my longest-running (though sporadically developed) personal project.

Realistically, I wouldn't suggest anybody use this except to try it, but for myself it is really useful and a fun project to tinker with sometimes.
What do you mean by true versus espoused? iOS’s modals, tab bars, navigation bars, and everything mentioned in the article are exactly the objects or value types that you deal with when you go to the code level and actually use the APIs.
What Pentagon deployment project? I can't find any news stories about military rolling out Starlink. The only news is US paying for Ukraine's access; cutting off Ukraine would not be good for SpaceX. The military doesn't need Starlink with all their communications satellites. They are looking at it for polar use where Starlink has better coverage.

Are you talking about the SDA Starshield constellation? That isn't launching yet, the contract is for development. Starshield has nothing to do with Starlink except using the same platform and taking up launch slots.

I like how you didn't mention that Starlink could solve capacity problems by launching more satellites.

R2 has similarly misaligned pricing, and I don't think it comes with comparable ToS limitations: You pay per request, and not proportional to data egress. So theoretically you could use it to distribute huge files very cheaply. Assuming there is no maximum request duration, it could even be used with a long running connection to download a video as it's being watched.

That is certainly an approach. But wouldn't that make indexOf() and lastIndexof() different in cases you would intuitively expect them to be the same, e.g:

0-based lastIndexOf "a" in "a" would be 1

You can opt out of junk mail. Varies by area. Likely can be done by a "no junk" sticker, or by opting out via your postal service, or both. (A lot of fliers aren't distributed by postal service, but legally must obey no junk signs)

Email is trickier, but recently I've had success simply unsubscribing from absolutely everything with an unsubscribe link. I used to leave stuff in if it might be useful.

To my surprise I now receive very few junk emails per day.

High IQ. I don’t believe in IQ but the commenters above are discussing inherent talents that our society chooses to reward.

What if I told you salaries could go up if shareholder profits and management pay packages went down? You're operating from the idea that people with outsized pay packages are exceptional, when more often then not, they are lucky people benefiting from a dysfunctional system. Certainly, skill is involved, but you are weighing it too much from an outcome perspective.

I am a lucky person, but I see it for what it is, not that I am special or exceptional. A lottery ticket is not something you can base broad policy on, most especially considering the aggregate harm being incurred.

If you are not interested in a union, that is fine, it only takes a majority to win a union and 30% to hold a vote. Do you think 51% are making outsized comp and vote no? I'm interested to find out too as someone very curious.

Yes, but that's a separate problem.
>Deflation is poison to an economy. It causes everyone to sit on unproductive cash and make no investments or purchases.

This is a nonsensical view with no empirical backing behind it. People need things to live, they won't just stop making any purchases because their money could be worth a few percent more in future. They may buy fewer things and save more, but this is just a shift in the ratio of savings to consumption, which in the long term leads to more growth (higher savings rates lead to more growth in the long term, as there is more capital to invest).

There's not a single incidence of an economy destroyed by deflation. The depression was due to mass wage and price controls by the government, and huge tariffs, which produced all the negative effects predicted by macroeconomic theory. There are on the other hand many many economies that have been destroyed by inflation, even in recent years (e.g. Venezuela, Zimbabwe).

>Money isn’t real anyway, it’s just a convenient fiction to enable complex trade of goods and services, which are of actual value

And the fiction that inflation is good is what allows people in power to transfer your purchasing power to their buddies in the financial syatem while making you believe it's for your own good. Because purchasing power lost to inflation doesn't just disappear in thin air, it goes to the first recipients of the newly created currency, i.e. the financial system.

It's clear the government has been actively attacking Musk and his companies for any and all reasons it can find. During the past couple years of this administration the following has happened and it's just what I can recall:

1. Tesla gets no invite to whitehouse EV summit despite being the sole reason for the current EV movement

2. Tesla model 3/Y initially barred from new EV subsidies

3. SpaceX being investigated by justice department for not hiring foreigners (literally illegal due to ITAR)

4. NASA awards blue origin more than it awarded SpaceX for lunar lander despite them having zero orbital rocket experience or even a proper roadmap to orbit

5. FAA drags heels on approving starlink tests preventing progress on the requirements they say were failed to have been met today

6. Today's news about FCC revoking subsidy for the only company that actually cares to provide highspeed internet to rural Americans, which congress has appropriated funding for several times in the past two decades, and rewarded companies have failed to deliver on

It's safe to say any kind of bullshit can be justified (with even more bullshit reasons), so it's hard to believe actions like this are made good faith. I'm not just going to trust criminals because they're robbing someone I don't like.
> What the article didn't say is that the system reduced cruise set point to 45 mph due to the road type, but the driver was _holding down the accelerator pedal_ to maintain 60 mph as it flew through the stop sign. The driver admitted they knew they were responsible for the controlling the car.

Do you have a source for that claim? The earlier news coverage said that the driver set the speed to 44mph, and that the data was unclear whether the autopilot or driver accelerated. If you have something like a court document that would be great to clarify.
To quote HN's guidelines: "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

That's not the complaint, though, me and many others are complaining that flagging that particular story seems to have been overridden manually, since it's almost certain that the story has been flagged very often. I surely have flagged it because of the above guideline, and many similar stories have been flagged and removed in the past. Luckily. HN is not the right medium for discussions of such topics. It's sad that Dang chose the most flamebait topic possible for an already dubious experiment.
