I picked up an 05 this past summer for a sort of back up car. It certainly is an eyeful, but it's been running well enough, I'm happy with it. Scared to take it camping though: doesn't seem well suited for off road.
The point is, regardless of circumstances, if no one wants to acquire the business then the business by definition has not created value (in the eyes of the market).

Because nothing does more to increase driver focus than getting in a heated argument with a machine. My rental car last month, towards the end of a long drive in a snowstorm, told me it was "time to take a break" and displayed a coffee cup on the dash where the speedometer used to be.

> Unable to stop literally anything bad from happening as a side effect of their actions

That's neither what I said nor the stated goal of this regulation.

Theres tons of externalities ranging from increased political polarisation, mental health issues, increasing social isolation to the decimation of the traditional publishing sector. These socio-technical systems are some of the most complex ever built and we are barely scratching the surface of the challenges they are causing. It doesn't help that these platforms actively stop the collection of data on their platforms for research purposes (as they probably know it'll reflect poorly on them).

The platforms themselves have identified their content as a legitimate existential risk. Mostly due to how advertisers don't want to be affiliated with certain types of content. See the multiple rounds of demonitizations done by Google in the adpocalypse or Elsagate. Or Meta's crackdown on content post 2016/Brexit. Or Elon's current YOLO which has killed their advertising revenue.

The current status quo is that platforms govern their platform content through advertisers threatening to pull advertising budgets. I'd say you Americans are mildly crazy for regulating the reach of speech through informal negotiations by big advertisers and big tech, but it does sound on-brand for you guys. I find it pretty disgusting though, and I bet a lot of you Americans do too.

Anyways, the DSA in it's current form is largely revolves around increased transparency into data for researchers and mandated reporting processes around moderation decisions. More informed decision making can be made in the future while not relying exclusively on leaked documents from whistleblowers like Frances Haugen.

Related, it's good to see that while VW was unable to resist the cargo cult of touchscreen maximalism and must now course-correct, they presumably (based on the images in the article) never adopted the dreadful ergonomics pioneered by the Prius and popularized by Tesla of eschewing a driver-side instrument cluster for a single, central screen.

- Nuclear war: averted by MAD?

- Peak Oil: happened. EV's are mitigating the consequences.

- Ozone hole: treaties banning the world-wide production of CFCs solved the problem.

- Y2K Problem: billions of dollars were spent fixing that problem. We did such a great job fixing that problem there are now a bunch of deniers stating the problem never existed in the first place!

See a pattern here? These problems just didn't up and solve themselves. We took action and solved them. Since there's no point dwelling on old problems we move on to new problems to solve. That process is otherwise known as advancement.

It's not about the fedora, it's about the stereotype that caused that association to mean something.
economic and finance theory is based on some clear assumptions. if those assumptions are violated, the theory predicts that the theory cannot predict.

"meme stocks" attract a small amount of capital (, large only) to a small number of stocks whose price becomes inflated. Given the nature of memes, this will rarely happen to the whole market. If you owned a broad index fund, your portfolio would inflate along with the meme stocks, and it will deflate along with them later. If it turned out that GameStop was an actual runaway hit, you would participate in it. If it turned out it was just a fad, you participate in that also. There's no place in this story for broad index funds to be a bad idea. Investing directly in the meme stocks carries a huge amount of diversifiable risk, and the market rewards risk, but not diversifiable risk.

I said "rarely" to the whole market above because one could consider the .com boom a whole market meme. But you would have been worse off if you stayed out of the market through that bubble.

It's exactly the same as someone decides to live as a character from the future or from dnd. Probably he will not be able to integrate within the society and possibly will end up being the 'weirdo' one at best. Possibly he missed someone that simply told him that that's not normal or a wise choice. Possibly he missed someone with eyes to see that that's a no go and with a voice to make him reflect about that. I wish him all the best.

There's more. At the same time oil well holes are drilled many orders of magnitude deeper making them cross thousands of strata rather than being limited to a meter or two. Most oil drilling is in areas prone to subduction but there are areas in Canada where they're drilling over surface rocks that are hundreds of millions of years old. Those won't subduct soon and are far more discoverable than an animal burrow due to size. We've got around 1 million active oil wells in N. America, fewer than animal burrows, but in areas they'll be preserved in deep time and in sufficient numbers there's a reasonable chance of discovery.
It is for now, but as both Ladybird and Jakt are SerenityOS projects, eventually parts of Ladybird might get written in Jakt. Jakt compiles to C++ and plans to have features like "inline C++" to allow easy interop between the two, so I assume they are thinking about this.
Most AIs doing image recognition/generation use a very low resolution.

Training models on higher resolution would become exponentially more expensive, while still not being that likely to succeed.

And even if you had the schematics, a foundry would still cost millions to setup, + you wouldn't even know if they were any good before trying them out, it would probably be an unpredictable black box.

In the event of WW3 it's going to involve either Russia or China, neither of whom Japan would even consider allowing to come to further dominance, even by inaction.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – the big developer tech interview
Perseverance of global rule of law. If Ukraine goes, we go back to 19th century. Any two-bit dictator wannabe will want to invade their neighbor for some sweet sweet territory.

Global economy relies on this stability, and US benefits the most from the stability of the global economy.

We also didn't "spend 75 billion dollars". Very little actual cash went to Ukraine from the US. We gave them old stockpiles, which we were going to decommission anyway, and paid maintenance for. We also paid US companies to increase production (of ammunition for example), and given that the Russia conflict is increasing demands for ammunition, increasing supply is not a bad thing.

This is such a lazy talking point permeating conservative spheres. And it quite likely coming straight from Russia psy-ops.
Yes, last year, I setup a real CenturyLink POTS line for my MIL in a condo near me, and tested my rotary phone on the line, and it works fine. That phone won't dial with my VoIP ATAs, even though they say they work with pulse dialing though.

I'm hoping it continues to work when utility power goes out, but we haven't had a long enough outage to test since I set it up.

Threads is also testing federation, it supposedly is close to being enabled.

Interesting dynamic is that Mastodon's community is such a sour bunch that likely most instance owners will block federation with Threads at the domain level. Because "Meta evil".

This takes away choice at the user level. Normal people that just want to connect with people and content no matter where it is hosted, which is the very purpose of ActivityPub, have no choice but to move to instances that do federate.

...which will be the large instances, like mastodon.social. It's already the default instance and by far the largest. For maximum connectivity and the biggest chance that it doesn't go under, it is the primary choice for most users. So this dynamic of too much instance-level moderation effectively undermines the idea of the fediverse. There will always be tiny for-purpose instances, but the idea that many small instances will grow the fediverse to Big Tech scale is invalidated.

Come to think of it, one might as well create a Threads account. It's a community almost a 100 times larger than all of Mastodon combined. So if you just want to connect to people and find content, Mastodon offers few tangible benefits to normies.

> An example, you get a human to sell you a car for $1. Well, absurd!

I've GIVEN away a car for $0. Granted, it needed some work, but it still ran. Some people even pay to have their car taken (e.g. a junker that needs to be towed away).

Before you argue that $0 for a perfectly functional new car is unreasonable, I would point out that game shows and sweepstakes routinely give away cars for $0. And I have seen people on "buy nothing" type groups occasionally give a (admittedly used) car to people in need.

So $0 for a car is not absurd or unreasonable. Perhaps unusual, but not unreasonable.
DocAI – Health Screening Services
We are a startup focused on connecting patients to doctors by offering health screening services. We have recently launched our MVP and looking for feedback

About the Project:

We are attempting to provide a direct to consumer market for people seeking virtual health. We hate insurance, and we think many other people do too. Currently, we have an AI screening services that will provide a screening to find specialized providers in your area. The landing page should communicate that effectively. Currently, our pricing models start at $5 a month but we have opened it to the public temporarily

We want to know what works, what doesn't, and what's missing. Your input is crucial and greatly appreciated. Your Feedback Matters

They will do what they've literally always done. Raise pricing, as much as possible. The reasons are usually meaningless excuses or genuine issues, but the prices will not drop after those issues pass, so still horse shit.
I took a class in cognitive design (fancy name for controls design) with Donald Norman (he wrote Design of Everyday things) and his standard assignment was to ask us to make the controls for a clock radio television. This was a long time ago. One of the points of the exercise was to make us realize that combining different devices and their controls didn't always make sense. In the same sense in a car their is a lot to be gained by keeping the controls for audio and the controls for temperature separate. The only good reason is to save money on buttons and knobs.
No, this article is saying that if you have a hybrid grid of fossil fuels & solar, desal is a cheaper application than storing in batteries & using solar power banked in batteries at night. If you have a full renewable grid, that advantage disappears. That’s because the price differential comes from arbitrage & that price differential makes desal cheaper than building capacity.

I bring up nuclear whenever there’s a discussion of grid energy to provide a reality check that solar is not able to get us to net 0 by 2050 in any way regardless of clever new ideas. By contrast nuclear actually does have that capability and it’s not purely theoretical nor “hey what if we productionized some new hypothetical theoretical idea at massive scale and ignore all unintended side effects” - we have plenty of existence proof that nuclear is a drop-in replacement for fossil fuels & thus actually very quickly reduces the need for them in the grid energy mix whereas no such existence proof really exists for renewables (yes - someone brought up Denmark but that’s not a repeatable situation because they are one of the windiest places on earth and wind doesn’t have the same critical downsides that solar does for grid power).
When the grid transition began in the 2000s the hope was that solar prices, storage and nuclear would all see massive cost declines that made a fast transition possible. This has occurred for solar PV. It’s reasonably plausible that it will also occur for storage, given the huge incentives and rapid increase in manufacturing efficiencies. It has not happened at all for nuclear and there’s currently nothing on the horizon that gives much hope this will change by the 2050/60 time frame. Even China, which is blasting away at nuclear, predicts it will only be 18% of their generation by 2060 (and that’s likely optimistic.)
I haven't seen a manuscript that could not made a better paper through peer review.

Now there are good and bad reviewers, and good and bad reviews. However, because you usually get assigned three reviewers, the chance that there is not at least one good reviewer or at least a good review from a middle to bad reviewer is not that low, which means if you get over the initial "reject" decision disappointment, you can benefit from that written feedback. The main drawback is the loss of time if a rejection means you may lose a whole year (only for conferences, and only if you are not willing to compromise by going to a "lower" conference after rejection by a top one).

I have often tried to fight for a good paper, but if the paper is technically not high quality, even the most original idea usually gets shot down, because top conferences cannot afford to publish immature material for reputational reasons.
That's what happened to the original Brin & Page Google/PageRank paper, which was submitted to SIGIR and rejected. They dumped it to the "Journal of ISDN Systems" (may this journal rest in peace, and with it all ISDN hardware), and the rest is history. As the parent says, you want to see people succeed, and you want to give good grades (except in my experience many first year doctoral students are often a bit too harsh with their criticism).
I think there is a difference in competency between using Cloud Compute and running your own Datacenter. Perhaps some companies have the overlap, but I suspect this is an additional skillset they need to cultivate to achieve the savings.
It gets worse, it seems even his great grandfather was participating in the abuse from beyond the grave. From the article: "When I was younger, I looked at my great grandad's prisoner-of-war diaries and I just love everything about the period."

Even his teachers were getting in on the sickening brainwashing operation: ""Callum went away on a school trip when he was about 12 and came back with an old-fashioned hat on," she says.
"I thought it was funny, and I just asked him, 'Where did you find this?'.
"He said 'that's the way I want to dress, that's going to be me'.
"Ever since then, that's just been Callum," his mum says."
> but surely most of them never would have used XMPP in the first place.

There was a time that Facebook messenger was XMPP and Google chat was XMPP, so there was a time it was gaining a lot of traction. Most people just think their email is email. They don't see it as using SMTP/IMAP/POP3.
Volkswagen just wanted to make everything new with their electric cars. Therefore they chose the "ID" prefix, which is probably supposed to sound futuristic to the average buyer. But Audi for example had something very similar going on for a long time with their A2, A3, ... A8 and Q3, Q4, ... Q8.
I was driving a new company vehicle recently and while I'm cruising at highway speeds, it would pop up a warning that my washer fluid was low. Not sure when the optimal time to tell me is, but I can almost guarantee telling me at 60 mph is below optimal.
I am definitely in the minority here. I want a touch screen and I want control. I did (and do) love the VW tactical knobs in my VW Golf, but the Mazda knob is horrific for me.

I want dumb TVs that I can control in my house. I want dumb screens that mirror my phones UX in my car. I want dumb pipes delivering my internet. I want control.

That said, I do agree outside of "infotainment" I want knobs and buttons for the actual car processes like A/C, windows, etc.
You can look at how email is monetized for some ideas. Everything from ad infested free client to pay service to freebie with the purchase of your internet connection.

As someone who has spanned eras, I don't really disagree. I embraced CDs because they were a lot more practical in many ways, but we did lose something in the process--physicality, album art, etc. The same is true with photography or writing for that matter. Ultimately I've always pretty much embraced the new but I understand why someone wouldn't--especially if forced to live through it.
Wondering if AI is going to lower the bar for him. Instead of tapping on screen, clicking on a mouse, or typing on a keyboard, we could soon just talk to a computer.
Most of modern careers are basically learning how to communicate to a computer. AI could make some of those skills obsolete letting more people to communicate to computers.

One of the most impactful things I've read was in the interview by Donald Knuth, shared here on HN some time ago:

"A person’s success in life is determined by having a high minimum, not a high maximum. If you can do something really well but there are other things at which you’re failing, the latter will hold you back. But if almost everything you do is up there, then you’ve got a good life."
