Getting arbitrary latex content to render well in HTML using mathjax is not trivial. There is a lot of valid tex that doesn't render correctly in mathjax without various little tweaks (adding newlines mainly) and of course this doesn't include package dependencies etc. I encounter this all the time because my personal notes in obsidian include a lot of equations etc. Mathjaxx will very frequently fail to render valid tex as html when you have something like $$\begin{align} and I have to go through and change this to

$$

\begin{align}

...to get it to work. On another site I try to post equations to, mathjaxx will stochastically mangle equations if I post them on my ipad vs working fine (except for the issue above) if I post from my laptop.

This is an interesting point, but I'm not sure that I agree. If humans sometimes drive impaired and Waymo never does, then that is a real safety point in favor of Waymo. Try as we might, we haven't been able to eliminate drunk driving by humans. If Waymo vehicles just don't have that failure mode, that's a meaningful improvement.

Consider this: suppose that Waymo drives more safely than "US drivers overall" but slightly less safely than "US drivers who never drive impaired". Then… replacing a uniform slice of US drivers with Waymo vehicles still improves safety! It would only be problematic if you somehow adverse-selected by replacing "the safest" human drivers with Waymo but letting the most dangerous ones continue to drive by themselves. Which is interesting to consider, but I don't see why it would be the case.
The parent poster’s got a valid point, though. Solar PV and wind used to be expensive but have seen massive cost declines that seem set to continue. Battery storage is currently expensive but is also following a similar pattern of cost declines as the industry ramps up mass production. The current state of the art in large nuclear plants can’t be mass produced, and so we haven’t seen any durable price declines at all. I suppose it’s possible that over the next 20 years we’ll hit some kind of technological wall in grid storage tech that prevents further price declines, but that seems like an incredibly low-odds bet to make.
Yep, and computer displays. IMO smartphone displays don't need more resolution.
My most blocked domain in nextDNS (which runs on all my devices) is metrics.icloud.com. books-analytics-events.apple.com is in the top 5 as well.
Maybe yes. But then look at the list of supported devices and you’d see why. Graphene is barely supported. It just supports Pixels/Google.

The problem starts with children not learning "enough." The first question is, "Why?"

Fortunately, Smart people have studied these issues and found that the usual culprits are poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, and family stress (divorce, parents unhappy, etc.). Kids do better when they get breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack/meal in school and have a safe place after school for studying and socializing. Teachers do better with enough money to eliminate their financial stresses and total funding for classroom basics such as properly maintained buildings, heating and cooling, and classroom supplies.

But instead of addressing these issues, some people shake their fingers at the teachers, proclaiming the teachers union is the problem.

This is obviously real, and timelines/effects differ. How could growth in utero not matter? And how could pregnancy not deplete resources? That depletion can be reduced and managed, but it happens. I would suspect that most women are anemic by third trimester, just to pick an easy one. Even keeping on weight while breastfeeding can be challenging, to look at an even coarser metric. All of this is pretty consistent with the general unlikelihood of getting pregnant within one year or , sometimes, up to 18 months postpartum, amd you'll often see 3 year spacing as an ideal target. Obviously, that spacing requires that you start having kids pretty early or continue pretty late if you want a large family.

Seeking published results about this is hard because, first, social science and therefore observational studies with results that can readily be disputed; and second, this is one of those "shaming mothers" things that gets tabled or not suggested as research in the first place.
His book The Vital Question does actually address this. He says the RNA world hypothesis doesn't perfectly explain early catalysis, as RNA is a sophisticated polymer. It was most likely more simple things like metal sulphides or other inorganic complexes were primarily responsible. Amino acids and nucleotides also have catalytic activity.
Do you like to see these stories as a customer/user or as a founder/investor?
That is not clear to me at all. What I have learned from schooling is that this is a supply and demand problem and that if you want the price of housing to be less you need to either raise the supply or lower the demand.

This conspiracy theory that people who own real estate are limiting supply so their investments go up is not reality. People indirectly want to limit supply because they enjoy their neighborhood the way it is. It turns out what they enjoy about their neighborhood others enjoy about the neighborhood so the price goes up. It doesn't mean that they are overall goal is to increase the value of their house. The evidence is that adding public transport and rezoning to higher densities and commercial use would increase the value of their property a lot but most oppose that because that is not why they bought in the neighborhood.
No aspect of copryright is morally defensible, which is why the lawmakers who created it merely defended it on the grounds of encouraging innovation in science and art.
A tad bit too many coincidences.
No, by your definition any software released with bugs in a beta program users can pay to be a part of, while it's being developed, is vaporware. Under that definition you'd need to invent another word for what currently constitutes the actual meaning of vaporware, which is software that has not been released to real users. (Ie, software that for all intents and purposes doesn't exist, ie, its vaporous.)
Yes, storage is the bottleneck that not many people talk about. The transition to renewable energy is still young and already we're seeing negative spot prices. My company is working on affordable, lithium-free storage for the grid to address this.
Of course it's pragmatic. Free-flowing traffic at 50mph beats people zooming up to 70mph then braking, then zooming again. Freeflowing traffic at 50mph annihilates traffic from accidents.
I imagine it would be possible to construct the system to substantially reduce the risk, even reduce it to "cosmic rays cause bit-flips which launch nukes" levels of risk. It's not like military nuclear command-and-control, you don't need one person who can push the button at any time. If we spot an asteroid, we'll have some time to deal with it. The system would presumably need to be constructed, which would take a few days even if everything was in storage on standby. Then, to activate it, you could have something like the US nuclear weapons' PAL, but instead of the codes being in the hands of one person, you spread them out. Just before launch it's activated with something analogous to the ICANN key ceremony: a bunch of well-regarded astronomers, rocket scientists, and aerospace engineers use their section of the Earth Asteroid Defence Key, and they press the metaphorical button together.

Getting commercial robotaxis working in even just one city is an amazing achievement. It's important to note that Uber currently operates in more than 10,000 cities, though. Even if Waymo were to launch one new city each week, it would be more than 192 years before they catch up to Uber.

What really bothers me is when people here reply to stories like this and say things like "well those girls shouldn't feel bad at all, it's just nudity, our society is so prude and _that's_ the _real_ problem." I don't know what the solution is, I'm not suggesting anything draconian - I just really don't like the idea that we should tell these girls to just get over it.
Tech workers are the only people that I know in my age range (almost 40) who have a handful of children instead of the usual 1-2. Like 3-5. I will never understand why someone actually intends to have 3-5 children in modern times when we're not working on a farm or in the mines. We're at 4, ok when can we have 5? ... Why, what does having a 5th child change for you? Are you bored? Is your hobby at that point literally just raising children?
Ehhh I social skills are overrated. As long as you're able to do effective collaboration and work within a team you dont need to be a social butterfly. The most successful engineers and researchers I know personally; are not particularly social people, obviously they're able to exist in polite company and collaborate etc but socialization is just another tool.

I wonder if there is a service to automate small (or large) donations to multiple organizations on a regular basis similar to an investment service?

Edit: I can only find services marketed towards the nonprofit, not for the donor. A service that aggregated and automated all the nonprofits I want to regularly donate small amounts to would be great. I think it would be important to not require the nonprofits direct involvement in order to allow me to donate as diversely as I want.
I have to ask, how on earth is it ambiguous? The word "banned" has been swapped around. Same difference.

Sorry, my points are rather disorganized since I just woke up this morning, but I think Nvidia CEO's claim of "betting the farm on AI" is questionable.

The chronology is this:

2007: CUDA released

2012: AlexNet (which runs on CUDA) turns heads and everyone (in the research world, not the public) starts getting really excited about AI

2012-2021: NVidia invests in CUDA while getting carried by gaming and crypto

2022-2023: AI explodes into the public consciousness and NVidia valuation balloons to absurd levels

Now, I don't think anyone can argue that NVidia was not smart to build CUDA. What no one would have predicted was how important it would turn out to be back when they started. It was more like "hey, these gaming devices are pretty good at matrix/vector math, let's build an API for people who want to do that" and then it turning out that AI is all matrix/vector math.

The point is that all of NVidia's investment in CUDA and AI was subsidized by the gaming and crypto cash cows. They didn't have to "bet the farm", they just had to keep it going as a side project and increase their investment as they saw the momentum build.

This article is about diet. Where is the source that says that women have stored reserves of omega 3 that are depleted with measurable impacts on later born children?
My experience is the exact opposite - people in tech have either 0 or 1 kid(and swear they won't have any more - after all, how can you fit any more in your life). People outside of tech(teachers, academics, accountants, musicians) all have 2-3 kids.

>>Why, what does having a 5th child change for you? Are you bored?

I mean, I only have 1 personally, but I get it - kids are fun. And the process of being a parent is fun(outside of the parts that absolutely suck) and extremely rewarding, it's been more rewarding than everything I have ever done in my professional career, and I have some things under my belt that I'm very proud of - seeing my son develop is still more rewarding than any of these. I assume that with every new child you just get to repeat the process and get that reward again and again and again. So I suppose the answer is ultimately - for somewhat selfish reasons. Kids are not just mine workers or care for the elderly.

Actually, it does, but only if you have reasonable reading comprehension.

How is what I'm saying "disgusting misinformation"? I'm very interested in what precisely you're angry at.
So I think there may be some equivocation of the term "interpretation" in this thread--whether intentional or not--but I understand the point being made here.

My point is that when one determines that a fact is notable, there is an underlying reason for making that determination, whether it involves several "competing interpretations" or not. It is perfectly reasonable to ask for that underlying reason so I can assess the validity of the statement. If someone refuses to give it, as we've seen here, then its reasonable to dismiss their assertion. I'm not responsible for justifying their own argument for them.

As for the 'only on HN' remark, I think that was unnecessary. At any rate, this will be my last comment on the subject.
Well, I wish you and your company the very best of luck and hope you succeed! It's going to change the game completely once that problem's addressed
> Braking to avoid hitting an obstacle (like that tree branch in the first example) is hardly "acting unexpectedly".

Depends on the size of the tree branch.

But also, being hit from behind at low speeds was a pretty common thing in early testing in Mountain View, when they were using the Google name on cars. That there are only a handful of incidents reported in this report means either the software has gotten better at communicating its intent to other drivers, or the driving public is aware that Waymo cars are way more cautious --- if they only make lane changes and unprotected turns by engraved invitation and everyone knows it, that's fine too.

In the early days, it seemed like it might be appropriate to install a 1979 regulation 5 mph rear bumper on these cars, because they'd likely get hit often enough.
I don't know what I-5 traffic is like, and kind of weird that you would refer to a local road on a global forum, but I'll assume it's like the M25.

Roads like that are currently operating at bursting point. There are incidents and accidents every single day and constant police presence is required to unblock them. If you alleviate congestion, more people use the road. They just go back to bursting point. In other words, it's utterly insane.

Can you imagine if there were accidents on railways or in the air every day? Imagine the scandal if train operators were found to be unsafely squeezing more trains on to the line that it could handle. Roads are stressful, inefficient and shit. Enforcing a safe stopping distance and pricing journeys accordingly, like trains, is where we want to be.
The multipart trend has another harmful effect: it encourages authors to "test the waters", and abandon the planned trilogy if the first one doesn't sell well.

Since authors are just trying an idea, frequently the first part is a slog where the plot barely advances, then a final action chapter that ends with a cliffhanger. No wonder many never continue.
Apparently Waymo is aiming for SAE level 4, so ultimately they should get past that issue I guess (since the lack of the “human must be ready to take over at any moment” requirement is pretty much the point of… what is it, SAE 3 and over?) But yeah, for testing, the challenge remains…

It would be interesting to know how often humans have to take over from Waymo, and also how often humans who’ve taken over from Waymo get into accidents.

I mean, it is not really realistic, but hypothetically one could imagine a driving strategy that has a low expected number of crashes, but puts the car in an easily detectable, strategically bad position, and then just dumps that position on the safety driver. Of course I’m sure Waymo wouldn’t do anything like that because it is, like, the most obvious bad-faith strategy which would be caught on a rigorous review and would be ruinous for the company.
Why not? It seems to explain a large part of the difference.

Show HN: Live-ish illustration for TTRPG campaigns
My D&D group typically casts music to our TV during sessions, and very occasionally, the default background image lines up nicely with what the party is doing (e.g. a picture of a mountain while we’re exploring a mountain pass). Using Whisper speech-to-text, GPT 3.5, and DALL-E 3, I rigged up something to make that happen automatically. The results are certainly interesting. The images generated are typically much closer to what’s actually going on than the previous example, but get many of the small details wrong.
I have to ask here too. It definitely doesn't imply "US workers from 50 countries". Your change swaps "banned" around. Same difference.
Isn’t this normal for an organization seeking 11,000 percent growth with a 20% management fee to stop investing when futures point to uncertainty and new bets don’t necessarily get a follow round raised? VCs can’t afford to get their reputation obliterated by investing in a stage of early growth when they don’t have confidence they’ll be able to take the investment to that kind of exit, so they end up being deeply risk adverse — aka they don’t want to start things they can’t finish - and therefore end up being quite sensitive to economic uncertainty.
I like the analogy that code is like weight to an airplane (“Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight” - Bill Gates). You want enough code to achieve your business objectives but no more since code carries a maintenance cost.

I suppose you could say the net value of some code = contribution to business objective - maintenance cost.

This also implies that code could have a negative value depending on its business value and maintenance cost
I see we disagree about the likelihood of an easy to measure event. I'll bet you one dollar at even odds that I am not divorced from my current wife by 2028-12-21, UTC midnight. Considering you consider this outcome "extremely common" 1:1 odds is a statistical bargain for you.
