Not OP but:

Near me the cost of daycare is ~$500/wk, so ~$26k per year per kid. No discounts for multiple children.

Median income in my area is ~$40k per year.

There are a fair few state and local discounts for people near the poverty line, but things get complicated, as usual.

Other aspects get rolled up into the financial costs of childcare, and they are not negligible at all, but daycare is typically the largest issue by far. As in, just solving daycare won't fix the issue.

Also, daycare costs change a lot depending on location. I have friends in TN that are at ~$1000/wk and friends in the Bay Area at ~$400/wk. So the local CoL seems to have a smaller impact than you'd think.

But yeah, daycare, man. You have to square that circle somehow.

Like, you know the 80/20 rule?

Kids are not like that. They're more like an eclipse. In that, there is a big difference between 99% and 100% of totality. With kids, you're not going to get a movable effect with just addressing 20% of the issues. You really gotta address all of the problems to get the needle moving. That's not a popular thing to say in government, because that means that kids are expensive things to try and fix and that little victories really don't matter all that much.
That doesn’t excuse anything! This is not “oh poor small time devs”, this is paying customers being lied to by Apple.
Quite a few apps run tests to find out if they're running on a rooted device, and refuse to continue if they are.

Dunno if these apps do that or not, but I can easily imagine that using them is a Hobson's Choice even in OSS utopia: take the horse offered (app with tracking) or don't have a horse.
I built a small ap on an ESP (where SSID scanning is bread and butter). It would track my location to within a few yards. The down side is it needs multiple SSIDs to do that, so not so useful outside an urban environment.
I see this sentiment but I think there's a flawed, tacit assumption underlying it. Image classifiers might not be very good at calling out a presentation in a static photograph, but an AV doesn't need to classify objects to avoid striking them. For AV purposes, uncertainty about part of a scene is also a useful input.

Proposed Beeper solution: Android users to buy an iPhone to relay messages to their Android phone, outsmarting Apple.

so it's a [dupe] then, what is going on here
I was remembering when trying out iOS development years back that entitlements were needed for many things and the ones I tried involved a consent screen.

From looking at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/en... I would say there are many more entitlements than consent screens, the phrasing suggests there is no 1:1 mapping between them and is not clear on whether they reliably come with consent screens (I suspect not).

It is very unfortunate that there is little clarity on that in the docs, and that entitlements are not exposed anywhere in the GUI. Sure, they are too technical, but they could at least be shown in some advanced info pane. I am seriously considering if I can dejail an old iPhone and perhaps inspect some big name apps for what they have been entitled to.
Sigh. If they put it back out where smurfs could gather it they would start using it again.

Its interesting how Americans are so trained to interpret everything as a failure of government we will find a way to think that the law that prevents meth makers from using sudafed is outdated because meth makers are prevented from using sudafed.
Or that code existing will bring an additional, unknown at some indeterminate time in the future, cost savings when you go to implement a nearly identical feature and you find out you won't be needing to start from scratch as you already have all this well tested, named and organized code to pull from as you craft a new solution.

Your perspective just needs a shift from negative to positive.
Disclosure: I work at Waymo, but not on the Safety Research team.

The Ars article linked to the Waymo blog post [1], but the underlying paper is at [2] via waymo.com/safety . A lot of folks are assuming this wasn't corrected for location or surface streets, but all of the articles do attempt to mention that. (it's easier to miss in the Ars coverage, but it's there). The paper is naturally more thorough on this, but there's a simple diagram in the blog post, too.

Definitely. Different tradeoffs in every locality, but more trailer parks would make other housing cheaper.
Might I ask what that acronym stands for? :)
The thing I've noticed is that people who buy Teslas love their car and people who don't hate it. It actually reminds me of the iPhone. Everyone who bought it loved it and there were lots of people online talking about how shit it was.
> Isn't it more useful to think of code not as an asset but as a liability?

If we're thinking in these terms, code is clearly both an asset and a liability.

I don't think of code in those terms at all, though. I think of code in terms of change. Changing code brings risk and expense, and that's why the rule of thumb is to never touch an existing line of code without careful consideration and a very good reason to do so.
Well, yes. I saw Biden recite a copipasta from beginning to end. I still marvel at how well it's done. The skill of the AI or whatever, or the person who did it, approaches art. I still don't believe for a second that it's real, because it's a copypasta, you know? And especially because I am a human being with normal intelligence.
You're missing the 'and their output.'
The younger children have lower IQs because mom runs out of resources to make people as time goes on. This is a well-known and easily solvable phenomenon.

I am the oldest of 11, and would not trade the experience for anything. It's wonderful, and made me more knowledgeable, since we were unschooled, and would study different topics and compare cliff notes. Still the only reason I know anything about quantum mechanics.
I see the section on "Fees". It is certainly a ballsy move to try to charge fees for a shell in 2023 when shells have been free for like about 50 years at this point. This was a "no" from me just based on the description of the web based point and click yadda yadda but it's a "hell no" from me baed on reading that EULA.

No, it is not any kind of "reasonable assumption".

You are, quite simply, lying. You do understand that lying doesn't really work very well when the person's original words are still there for all to see, right?

The driver fell asleep and then pressed the gas pedal… and didn’t see or hear tons of warnings and alarms from the car. Very hard to blame that on the car.
Ha. I think everyone who tried it said this. I think every conversation I've had with a sick person has included the phrase "this over the counter stuff doesn't do anything". The most cursory search of the internet finds an article from 2006 with the literal phrase "There's just one problem. Phenylephrine doesn't work, and most in the pharmaceutical industry know it."

https://reason.com/2006/12/21/step-away-from-the-cold-medici...

And 2005 is the year Phenylephrine replaced Pseudoephedrine, so it's not like it took anyone any time at all to figure this out.

It's not causing accidents in these cases. The humans are.
I believe I did misunderstand. After re-reading I realized the poster could have meant that lower frequencies may be detectable if _produced_ by proper sound equipment, rather than that they are detectable by the proper sound equipment.
Code ain’t code though. Production tested library code is an asset. Known good code from old projects that can be used as reference or easily adapted to new projects is an asset. Project specific glue code is a liability. Streaming mounds of hacked together prototype or testing code are technical debt.

Because they were broke and didn't have the resources to invest properly even if they wanted to.

That's not quite true -- they bet the farm on Zen, and that bet paid off. Which means that now they have the resources to also invest in AI. I'm fairly sure if they had bet the farm on AI instead of Zen or if they had tried splitting that bet they'd be bankrupt now.

The kill-from-home era
Define “need”.

I feel like I must be missing out on something or be very adaptable relative to the HN crowd. I’ve worked in my cloffice - barely big enough to stand in, ventless, and windowless - for nearly four years now. It’s not my daily workspace, as I occasionally work on the porch, at the dining table, by our bay windows, etc etc.

I’d say 60% of working full time at home is spent in the cloffice that, based on these comments, might be depriving my body of oxygen in a harmful way I must not be noticing. Am I oblivious?
I agree, but the art (e.g. what a good author does) comes from the structure, of which thousands of combinations could be created. Gen AI would then be able to endlessly fill in details for unique variations (different characters, locations, allegiances, time periods, decision trees, etc.).

Think about any good story. A million details could be different, and it would still work well.
That's true, it's still unclear if the method Tesla is taking will eventually work. That's not the definition of snake oil. They're approaching the problem differently, because they think if they solve it this way it will be a better outcome for a variety of reasons, and are working extremely hard on it.
They say that they account for the log of the family income, but do not elaborate on that point beyond saying they do (at least after a quick skim). It seems to me that this would be extremely difficult - does anyone have insight on how they might have done this?
As you say, it’s a method to get a coarse location and then refined using GPS which by the way does not really take time to acquire once you have downloaded the almanac and have the coarse location.

So this ‘allows applications to track location’ actually allows applications to track coarse location which then does not allow them to refine using GPS.
At least their incentives are aligned.

Google is an advertising company. I expect them to serve ads based on their reading of any Gmail emails, Drive documents, or image analysis of Google Photos, any Google Search/Maps queries, any Chrome browsing, and notifications/app usage/other entries in Googleified Android.

That makes storing documents in Google's cloud significantly not private.

Murena's whole reason for being is privacy, if it came out through whistleblowing or user analysis that Murena was analyzing and selling user data... that would (I hope, though I have less faith than I used to) that would sink the company.

I'm not paranoid enough to think that Google or the FBI is attacking the CalyxOS supply chain with rootkits that analyze/upload data on Murena phones in the same way they do on regular Android phones because that data is not useful to them. If they can't show ads in your murena.io email, why would they go to great lengths to read it?

I do think that the only option left for those who are individual targets of investigation from a nation-state or international mega corporation is to not use cloud services and smartphones.
Depends when you do it, I'd think. If it's on final approach, yeah most of the bits still hit the earth, so maybe not great.

If you blow up something that you're pretty sure is going to hit the earth a few orbits in the future, the bits are going to have diverse paths and hopefully many will miss or at least arrive farther in time.
don't love this framing - capitalism operates on avarice. Every for-profit company "gives in" to it to a great extent, so we shouldn't put undue blame on isovalent for just looking out for themselves and their employees.
This claim of hierarchy doesn’t make sense for Islam, which explicitly does not have a fixed religious hierarchy like Christianity (which I will also note it’s interesting that Christianity was split into sects but not Islam for this study).

Everything I own is a liability -- and an asset at the same time.
Not a direct answer to your questions, but there's some nice data here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_offshore_wind_farms_in...

There's currently 14 GW of on-shore wind gen.

Everyone has the legal right in the USA to live anywhere else in the USA, we don’t have a residency or hukou system. But without some other limiter, like price via supply and demand, this legal right alone is unworkable.

Seattle is a destination not just for rich techies, but also for the unhoused. Spend any amount of time at the greyhound bus station and this will be obvious, or take a greyhound across country, people get on at prisons with an open bus ticket, if they have no where else to go, they will head toward one of the west coast cities to survive, and who can blame them?

So we have a net influx of professionals with money who want to live in a popular city, and unhoused people who want to live in a city with more generous social services and mild weather so living outside won’t kill them.

On top of that, you have the residents that were already there, feeling like they are being attacked on both sides: rich young professionals pricing them out of the housing market, and poor unhoused neighbors stealing their Amazon packages and pooping on the sidewalk.

So how does building more housing alone get us out of this cycle? The rich professionals will gobble up the new housing, and tell their friends in the Midwest to come move to where the fun is. The unhoused neighbors couldn’t afford that house anyways, but they might be lucky and eventually score a free apartment or tiny home from the various social services in the area. So they move from their camping spot, but someone else has just arrived on a greyhound to take their spot over.

"Ground Truth" (i.e. real world, actual data)

As a long time anti-abuse engineer, I cannot agree. The game theoretic aspect of trusting data acquired from outside parties cannot be overcome. Cooperative AVs will never exist.
In 2013 the IRS was successfully sued for doing the exact same thing:

That was poorly worded, what I meant is that some people in general seem to think of LLMs as proxies for reality or truth., and Musk himself says he wants to build "truthGPT" https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/17/23687440/elon-musk-truthg...

That's the part I think is futile, because reality and truth are vast and moving targets there's no way to build a functional map.

I don't think that equation holds.

I wonder does reading anything at the level of stratechary make any impact? I use to religiously read this blog and matt l.'s 6-8 years ago, then i started growing my family and haven't read it in years - I realized 3 years ago, there was no difference in my life, the trajectory of my career, or my understanding of the tech industry without these blogs. I also have 2 VC friends who say blogs like these waste their time. I always thought I was gaining an alpha by reading these blogs, but going into my 40s, I have yet to see any benefit.
Probably a fixed multiplier. There's a tremendous amount missing from this study, and I wouldn't take any of its conclusions at face value.
>Waymo getting hit from behind, which is the other driver’s fault even if the Waymo acted “unexpectedly”.

Yes, but...there is something else to be said here. One of the things we have evolved to do, without necessarily appreciating it, is to intuit the behavior of other humans through the theory-of-mind. If AVs consistent act "unexpectedly", this injects a lot more uncertainty into the system, especially when interacting with other humans.

"Acting unexpectedly" is one of the aspects that makes dealing with mentally ill people anxiety-producing. I don't think most of us would automatically want to share the roads with a bunch of mentally ill drivers, even if, statistically, they were better than neurotypical drivers. There's something to be said about these scenarios regarding trust being derived from understanding what someone else is likely thinking.

Edit: the other aspect that needs to be said is that tech in society is governed by policy. People don't generally just accept policy based on statistical arguments. If you think that you can expect people to accept policies that allow AVs without addressing the trust issue, it might be a painful ride.

There's a natural compromise between "Efficiency" and "Flexibility" - training AIs is currently a fast enough moving field that by the time the really efficient targeted hardware could be released, the state of the art has moved to make them less suited to the latest generation.

Outside of training, using the trained network for inference seem to be changing less, so maybe a decent target for bespoke targeted hardware. And indeed it seems that custom hardware blocks are very much "catching favor" in that market - everyone seems to be adding accelerators to their SoCs.

GPUs seem to be at a happy medium, where they're often flexible enough to run techniques while still having better efficiency than a CPU.
Hold the key down.

you're just framing it in the same way the article did.

really the problem is a lack of critical thinking and a by-rote approach to diagnosing problems, it has nothing to do with "owning" anything.
Why are these capabilities usually granted, in your experience?
A microcosm. There is no such thing as OAuth2. OAuth2 is just a way for megacorps to implement their own arbitrary/proprietary auth systems. It is a toolkit for making auth systems, not an auth system. So we end up in a world where oauth2 was supposed to be a standard, but instead every megacorp has their own incompatible implementation. And sure, people will dev for the megacorp use cases... but that just means the "standard" is now whatever google does/etc.

And they all have their own little bugs like this. We should go back to oauth1. It was a real standard. Not a toolkit for making standards.
Once they changed the licensing on consumer gear in a DC it started to become clear they were executing on a strategy, I wouldn't be surprised if phasing out SLI was part of that strategy as well.
