Last time we bought a house, we did basically everything on our phones, including tapping our way through the closing paperwork on one of these platforms. Easiest time by far—we’d used them for parts of other house purchases, but had never done the whole thing that way before. These sorts of platforms also take care of notifying everyone when stuff’s done, maintaining an todo list for signing, sending reminders, verifying you didn’t miss spots that need a signature or initials, and making sure everyone who needs access to the docs, has it. They’re really nice.

Anyway, if you just want to draw a signature on docs standalone with only local software and none of that other nice stuff, the good solution on a desktop OS isn’t mspaint, but Preview. Works directly on pdfs, can generate a fancy sig or let you draw your own, signatures re-usable and available in a drop down menu next time you need to sign something.

I'm sure we'll get to it one of these decades. Again, I think that a small government ethos will make it quite challenging. It's interesting when you parse the constitution carefully, particularly the 14th amendment, you'll often note that it is all about due process and it does not limit that to citizens only; it seems quite careful in using the words citizen and person.
My first reaction was "uh oh, hypermeritocracy" i.e. children drilled for test-taking success from the earliest age - so of course more children would dilute the tiger parent effect. But that was based on just a quick skim.

Not an issue when I was a kid; parents drilling kids academically didn't even go as far as mine checking whether we did our homework. All four of us turned out OK by the standards of "finish university and have an appropriate (to the level of education) career".

the 2-and-20 compensation model for fund managers incentivizes these boom/bust cycles; you need the markups to raise the next bigger fund so you can lock in and grow your 2% yearly fee. When it all crashes down, everyone can say "wasnt just me, nobody could have seen this coming" and the LP has little alternative. The point is not for a projection to be accurate, the point is to say something that various stakeholders believe (and ideally then go work themselves up into a big money orgy, which is where the big exit money is made by skilled players)

It is not surveillance to require in some form that an adult in the system sees your child on some regular basis. This is something that your child simply being in school provides.

Either a way for an adult to notice that something is very wrong or a safe place for a child to report something.

If people are building enough supply around your land, your land will eventually not grow as fast or even go down in value. If all the demand is met by the apartments around your land why would anyone want to develop the land when there isn't return. If their isn't any potential for return why would someone else want to buy the land?
Self driving cars are something that private companies can mostly do by themselves(beyond getting the okay from government to drive on public roads).

Public mass transit infrastructure can't really be created by private companies.

So, if you want mass transit, driverless cars really has nothing to do with it. Petition the government to get off their asses and do their job.

Yes, minus the deadline. You would be crazy to not see the long term value of literally being able to enter virtual worlds, like a Star Trek holodeck.

Even something as simple as replacing TVs and monitors is a no-brainer. It's just a question of whether comfort and quality can be achieved.
Current technology is so much better in its quality and ease of use as to be barely comparable to what came before. A lot of people in this thread seem to pride themselves on being able to spot deepfakes (how do they know the ones they don't spot?), but no person or machine will be able to tell real from deepfake in 5 years. I'm not sure what the effects will be of not being able to trust any photo or video (e.g. surveillance video, drone footage, etc.)
Yes, and also "if we cared more about proving health safety", and unfortunately it seems - looking at aviation where TEL is just getting phased out - mostly we don't care enough.
Yes, this is the point I am making. If you do not engage in risky behavior, and are not distracted, you are likely already 2-4x safer than an average driver. So AI driving may not make your driving better.

Next problem is everyone else's driving!
It's like an arms race / tragedy of the commons issue as well.
Your safe driving doesn't matter if other people are still running lights / driving drunk / etc.
In absence of near-perfect AI driving, followed by government mandates to take everyone else off the street.. it doesn't matter.
And this is never going to happen.

I'm sorry, do I need to post a biology class in here too? I can post the study about how women with bigger butts have smarter children due to higher Omega-3 availability, and the study detailing the depletion during pregnancy, and the study I already posted on Omega 3 in the diet.

Or, the idea that building a human depletes resources could be relatively uncontroversial, because duh.
That's interesting considering one big obvious reason my coworkers/friends have 3+ kids is because they easily clear $300k+ single income and can live in 6 bedroom homes, etc. Drive those massive suburbans..

This is exactly correct, though you don't want to admit it's the case it seems.

I mean, we just allowed Car Manufactures to pump as much contact data and location data as they can off your phones and sell it to whomever they'd like risk free and legally.

We have laws against physical trespassing, but when it comes to 'data' trespassing on applications that you install or come with your phone we're still in the wild west.
What hobby is that?
Because there's two things going on. There's the autonomous driving technology which is god damn amazing and a huge technical achievement even if it only works in ideal conditions.

Then there's the sheisters trying to sell that technology and convince governments that "for safety" people should be required to buy their product. Poking holes in the technology is people's natural response to the very real fear that their ability to operate a vehicle that isn't literally controlled by a huge corporation will be taken away.

The technology is amazing, humans suck.

You see the same thing with EVs, rather than it being a purely positive thing that the market has more options for people with different driving patterns you have governments committing to banning the sale of new ICE cars when the deployment is literally in its infancy
At the same time, you have to consider that if the same crooked reporter reported these leaks without providing any audio at all, or said they were emails, or texts, a large number of people would believe them anyway. You have to check what the delta is of people who would not have believed a plain text lie but would believe a video lie, and as deepfakes become more and more sophisticated in plain sight, that delta is bound to shrink.

I feel that ultimately the delta will become negligible, because the cognitive flaws that would push us to believe deepfakes at an era when anyone can create a deepfake of themselves in 30 seconds on a website (not now, but not long after they would be used for propaganda) are the same that currently push us to believe clear textual propaganda. If you don't fall for one, you won't fall for the other.

MiniLED is better for displays in bright environments that need better lifetimes.
Congratulations to all involved. Huge milestone!

That said, I’ve been using it seriously on nightly for a while already… and must say its ergonomics are off putting.

For example I maintain https://github.com/plabayo/tower-async (a fork of tower), and on its own it looks to work (except for the boxing and dynamic dispatching others have already discussed).

But once you throw it into the tokio ecosystem, building on top of something like hyper, and you suddenly are back into nightly territory due to having to specify trait bound for your async fn trait methods (eg: call(): Send).

It works, and you can see in my early WIP proxy repo (https://github.com/plabayo/rama). It’s not pretty but does work… that said it does put you in a nightly position once again due to having to specify Send/Sync trait bounds of trait async fn methods opaque futures…

In contrast the RFC that would allow me to write ‘type Future = impl Future<…’ seems to fit a lot better in the existing tokio ecosystem. Just my 2 cents. Anyway, I get its hard work and WIP, so congratulations again and thx for all the work!

(Edit: I do understand that the main source of my issues is due to the combination of writing very generic code and using multithreaded async (via tokio). Still, it’s not pretty. But perhaps it’s also because I still have a lot to learn on how to use and write this. The latter is my hope)

I took a London black cab recently for a trip to the hospital, and the driver at one point overtook about 200 metres of stationary traffic, going around several "keep left" bollards, to go through the red light that the rest of the traffic was queuing for. The driver was in his 70s, so I'm not sure if he's just been doing it so long that he doesn't care about the rules any more, or if he was struggling with some kind of age-related brain degenaration.

In his defence, I did get to the hospital well in advance of my appointment. It reminded me of the old Sega game Crazy Taxi.

From my experience these new types of displays show up in small form factors first before the yield is good enough to build larger panels such as for televisions.

I have yet to see this in small panels so you may need to wait for quite a lot longer than a year.

The US isn’t the only place people eat like shit, though.
The french and Aussies and English and Germans and Italians all have some unhealthy food habits, or excessive butter/cheese, or elevated alcohol consumption levels, etc.

You can point to activity levels, but weight is about food consumption, not activity levels, and (eg) Aussies are a pretty car-reliant culture too. Pretty much any way you can argue that the US is "unique" - it's not, we are a culture exporter and some other place has inevitably picked up some of our habits.

Americans aren't even uniquely fat anymore. There are other populations (like aussies) that are getting close to our obesity levels and they still don't 5x their healthcare spending. And the idea that obesity makes up even a simple majority of total healthcare costs (as it would need to be for this to be the factor that 2-5x's healthcare spending) is generally ridiculous.

(also, paradoxically, a lot of things that we think of as unhealthy actually reduce total life healthcare spending, because US care is heavily weighted towards end-of-life care. It's cheaper to die of lung cancer at 40 than to have three knee replacements and spend a month in the ICU at 80, and US health care is heavily weighted towards the latter because of medicare, everyone else struggles to get affordable access to the system.)

Like it would be interesting to see an attribution of what specifically americans are eating so differently vs everyone else, and the caloric/macronutrient balance and total inflow/outflow, and total life expectancy (and total spending) changes. I suspect it's just a "how much of it" more than anything, but the "gosh americans just eat like shit, that's why!" really doesn't justify 5x per-capita expenditures on the face of it, in the way people try to use it. The rest of the world drives cars and eats like shit, and eats too much too, in varying proportions.

But to go back to spending - it's really hard to argue that it's any one thing. It's everything. Everyone at every layer is bleeding everyone else. Americans are a bit unhealthier, but we also have for-profit hospitals (even non-profits make a "profit", it just goes into real estate investments), for-profit insurance, doctors who make $400k because they need to pay off $300k of loans from for-profit education, drug and device manufacturers who have no cost containment before approvals, a political system that tolerates evergreening and similar practices, an "access problem" for delivering basic care before it escalates into expensive problems (even "preventative care" often still ends up costing), etc etc.

That is really the problem and why the system cannot be reformed. Medical care is at the nexus of every single "unsolvable problem" of the US political system, from patents to education to farm-lobby and environmental regulation, and it involves a million taking hands that after a true reform will no longer be able to take. There is a lot of people who have become reliant on the revenue streams from this rent-seeking/unproductive activity, and they will lobby heavily to make sure they can keep taking.

Nope: https://www.epi.org/blog/naftas-impact-workers/

You’re missing the long term idea around NAFTA, it’s to make America competitive again and curb its reliance on other continents like europe or asia.

They want to reshore manufacturing to usa and its neighbours. This is necessary.

The way you just shut it up and say “nope” that it removes short term bargaining power for american workers.

It’s like talking about the industrial revolution or the agricultural revolution which brought efficiencies and made those countries more productive.

Back then they argued that it was removing bargaining power of people working at farms, that it was taking away jobs like being a tailor at a sweatshop working your way to death.

Standard of living of americans are much better now, NAFTA long term is planned to be like that, it may fail, but bets are on to make it succeed.

I’d recommend talking to a therapist, all this anarcho capitalism, a random HN commenter being somehow “malicious” and this “evil agenda” to change people’s opinions on HN, idk this is too much drama. Just have a civil conversation, we are humans, not demons or angels.

"Regenerative Braking Algorithm for Parallel Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicles Based on Fuzzy Q-Learning" (2023) https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/16/4/1895 https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=1652172894059893570... :

> Abstract: [...] By considering the impact of fuzzy controllers having better robustness, adaptability, and fault tolerance, a fuzzy control strategy is employed in this paper to accomplish the regenerative braking force distribution on the front axle. A regenerative braking model is created on the Simulink platform using the braking force distribution indicated above, and experiments are run under six specific operating conditions: New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), World Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (WLTC), Federal Test Procedure 72 (FTP-72), Federal Test Procedure 75 (FTP-75), China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle-Passenger (CLTC-P), and New York City Cycle (NYCC). The findings demonstrate that in six typical cycling road conditions, the energy saving efficiency of electric vehicles has greatly increased, reaching over 15%. The energy saving efficiency during the WLTC driving condition reaches 25%, and it rises to 30% under the FTP-72, FTP-75, and CLTC-P driving conditions. Furthermore, under the NYCC road conditions, the energy saving efficiency exceeded 40%. Therefore, our results verify the effectiveness of the regenerative braking control strategy proposed in this paper.
