Excuse me, are you suggesting that teachers are some kind of saints, who never, ever abuse children?

> We don’t know their test scores or even if they’re reading at their grade level.

We do know that only one in three students in (e.g.) Chicago Public Schools can read at grade level. Obviously reading at grade level isn't a very high priority.

In any case: who is "we" here? They're not your children, dude.
The way I’m reading the PR right now — Cruise damaged the public’s perception of self-driving cars by cover up. Now the ball is on Waymo’s court to over-prove that they’re safe and transparent. Unfortunately this is one of the problems where “vibes over facts” persist. As in, a lot of people will argue that a self-driving car killing 10 people is worse than real people killing 20 people. It’s not that easy to change public’s sentiment, especially when there’s a huge truckloads of money is on the table for multiple industries either to lose or gain at the end.
Very important milestone reached for async programming, not to mention that this is actually a primitive that just happens to be useful for async as well. It’s not always needed but when you find yourself needing it, it becomes a major point of friction. Congrats to the team! Excited for dynamic dispatch and capture rules to be coming soon.
These measurements should be standardized and independent, there is a large incentive for these companies to get creative with their record keeping and methodology.
How are you pinning the crypto craze to COVID? People were mining long before 2020, and that demand was so high putting pressure on GPU inventory that the manufacturers were artificially crippling their performance when used as miners.
I'm hoping they work up to the complexity of European roads eventually. Start small and iterate, y'know.
The user could choose weights in specific categories, that the app could then take into account when building lists.
Same as the aim of the original code is to reduce some costs by more than it would add itself. It’s the never-ending game.

VC investment will pause for a bit. Then VCs will miss out on the next "Next Big Thing." Then VCs will pile in on copycats. It has always been thus.
There are parents who don't care about their children at all or whose love is so warped as to be unrecognizable. Thousands of children die from neglect every year. Over ten percent of children reported being abused or neglected in the last year. Millions of people in this country have been raped by their parents.

If you assume all families are gentle and kind, you are condemning children to misery and death.
Always a divide between people in these threads who assign pure genius as the sole reason for success and those who live in reality and accept that you also need allot of luck and cash on the way.

First the big-budget move into podcasts and now audiobooks; Spotify appears to be admitting they'll never make any money from streaming music. Maybe in a few years they'll go Netflix and the app will just have 20,000 store-brand bands all signed to Spotify Records.
To me the downsides on installing on pure metal are bigger than running over something like UTM.

On my maxed out M1 Max I have a VM with Ubuntu 22.04. Runs flawless, I can expose IPs, share folders and multitask with macOS. And it runs very well with 10Gb of RAM and 3 CPU's.

Maybe in a few years an outdated mini could be my home server with Linux on bare metal but for work and play I prefer the flexibility of running on a VM.
If 1bd is $1,200 and you have 2 people willing to live together each being able to afford $700 doesn't that push up the price to $1,400?
I would make a public statement so customers know it's not "our fault", then try to hash something out. Otherwise it leads to ambiguity over who's at fault, and can make it look like Disney chose to remove the apps themselves.

Or at the very least remove the false advertising of us being on Tesla?
New York City had a pilot plasma gasification program in the early 2010s, but I never heard anything about it after 2015 or so and I can't find any updated information about it. I guess the project folded for one reason or another.
> This requires every citizen to know the rules (the 4th amendment, in this case,) and to have the intestinal fortitude to enforce those rules.

This is a very privileged take!
I strongly agree that non-experts in HN comments write as if they are experts. Without some sort of upvote counter, it becomes hard to distinguish confident bullshit from expertise.

Certain individuals are prolific bullshitters too. I’d read a questionable comment and notice it’s the same person.

(My observation is general, not specific to this topic)
If you were advising an airplane manufacturer where production was tracked by weight, you might admonish them that they were putting airplane parts on the wrong side of the ledger. But later, after they changed their practices to stop encouraging the production of useless parts, the remaining airplane parts would be counted as assets, not liabilities. You, and they, would look back on the ledger comment as hyperbole.
> In July, a Waymo in Tempe, Arizona, braked to avoid hitting a downed branch, leading to a three-car pileup.

> In August, a Waymo at an intersection “began to proceed forward” but then “slowed to a stop” and was hit from behind by an SUV.

> In October, a Waymo vehicle in Chandler, Arizona, was traveling in the left lane when it detected another vehicle approaching from behind at high speed. The Waymo tried to accelerate to avoid a collision but got hit from behind.

It’s worth noting that all 3 of these incidents involve a Waymo getting hit from behind, which is the other driver’s fault even if the Waymo acted “unexpectedly”. This is very very good news for them.
Probably the same reason so much of everything is an online service: to hoover your data and sell it.
No insult intended, but you're literally beta ... good luck with that, honestly.

But if you cannot see the issue with what has been promised, and what has been delivered, you're not living in vapour world, you're living in kool-aid world. You should be insulted, but instead you drink it up.

Again, no offense, you make your choices, everyone else makes theres, and the world moves on ... but the FSD saga has been an absolute sh1tshow by any reasonable definition.

Purely from memory: It took a few years for hardware to catch up the computer game Crysis when it was released, to make it run smoothly.

Pushing the limits of existing hardware, it looked truly spectacular when it came out - and many would say it still does.
> The post is “All Code Is Technical Debt” written by Paul McMahon. And everything is just slightly wrong, starting from the title. So let’s break it down.

Similarly this post's title seems a bit off. If it was "Only some code is tech debt" we would have less disagreement in the comments.
Evil-mode is an example of what I am advocating here.

Imagine if evil-mode could start with a blank slate. Wouldn't that be easier?

The problem is that every package is designed to integrate with regular default-Emacs. If you are using evil-mode, that means every package presents its own edge case.
I get that. But that’s probably not all of the cases, maybe a few. A lot of them had a support network and simply burned their bridges with them via drug use, and now they are in the streets. But we should definitely prioritize helping the non drug addicted homeless population, get them off the streets as fast as possible, since once they get into fent, helping them is a magnitude harder! And that’s why we should prioritize sober housing. Yes, it’s sad, but once they get addicted to fent, they are probably not recovering from that, so let’s throw our resources at not letting that happen, rather than burning them on people that are very very hard to help.
> It’s pretty clear that treating housing as an investment and not as a fundamental right has led us

No, it's pretty clear that insufficient supply in certain areas has led us here. Treating housing as an investment is just a symptom (it's really unavoidable if the good is scarce).
Unfortunately this isn't true. They're certainly better than what they used to be, but they are no where near as reliable as Nvidia's. We tried a build out roughly 6 months ago and we couldn't switch back fast enough.
>>Doctors office visit won’t address this for most.

I agree - it won't come from doctors - there is no financial incentive to keep people healthy.

and even more so, patients don't even want to hear it, they want the magic pill instead.
SF is a fairly tricky place to drive. I mean it’s no Boston but it’s no mean feat.

Nevertheless I do believe it might be easier to deploy self driving cars in more “feral” places where anything goes as traffic rules go. In those places, what I’ve observed, is that you can at any point actually come to a complete standstill and everyone will just navigate around you (within cities that is). This actually can work in the favor of these cars to be honest.
I've been looking for this comment in all these stories regarding the ineffectiveness of phenylephrine!

I have a similar story. Congestion is not a symptom I typically get. Covid, however, decided to shake things up and introduce me to a new set of symptoms... One of those was congestion such that my head felt like a balloon. Without experience treating this symptom, I went out and ended up with Sudafed PE, oral phenylephrine. It worked _immediately_, it was like a balloon deflating. It worked so well that these headlines regarding phenylephrine's ineffectiveness still cause bemusement...

anddd that's my story.
To be fair, that alone doesn't account for it, since 90m only ~25% of the total population, so it's still skewed. Probably attributable to density and cost of living etc though.
This so much.

Current project I work on, everyone looked at me like I was made of cheese when I asked how I spin up the project locally. They only do unit and component tests locally, the rest is assumed to work when deployed.

Another killer is no contribution guide as a living doc for the team. "Code reviews" end up being a weird gate-keeping mechanism to exercise your authority over others by pointing out things they haven't done "correctly" when there is no shared consensus on what is correct and why.
I think only the first and last are really important. I've had very effective meetings where I was the only technical person and we didn't have a formal agenda. Often meetings with stakeholders where I wanted to know what I could do for them; what they needed. So I guess that's still an agenda, but more important is that I was in control and the meeting was small.

Being a bystander in a big meeting, that is the worst. If it doesn't affect me and my input is not needed, why am I there?

Arizona maybe, but I wouldn't say San Francisco is straight lines. I've seen a few of these videos pop up on YouTube. This one I watched recently is full of construction, double-parked trucks, pedestrians, complicated traffic, etc.

https://youtu.be/5wXO05s-pLc?si=5W-SW5zGXIwgnQpG

It makes a mistake in that one, around 5 minutes in, due to not understanding a construction worker's gesture, but I presume it phones home for advice and someone gets it moving again. Everything else seemed to be handled rather impressively.

Disclaimer: Google employee. My job has nothing to do with cars. But I do love technology and hate driving, so I'd love to see this problem solved. I'm actually quite skeptical that I'll ever have a truly self-driving car, as I also live in a place with weather.
> At the very least we should expect that a student that is home schooled is taught the same basics as someone who is in the school system

Evidence is strongly against public school students being taught the "basics", at least in large regions of the country.
If you take any kind of OTC medicine, it’s assumed that you’ll read the directions (which includes the list of ingredients). Clearly most people don’t, and they just rely on the marketing material printed on the box/bottle to understand what the medicine does.

If they did read the ingredient list, people would realize that all those products in the pharmacy are mostly remixes of the same handful of chemicals sold at different prices.
Well in that particular case they became dominant in the gpgpu space because they had a vastly superior offering ( cuda ), which they then capitalized on, while their competitors produced inferior products. I read my first gpgpu papers around 2005 I think , but the one company that ran with it was Nvidia. I don’t see this as luck.

Once you are dominant though, you can stay that way for a long time.

Your article talks about it positively.
It’s funny that you’ve got several teams of thousands of engineers working on this and you label the one as “snake-oil” that has deployed their beta to hundreds of thousands of cars. Musk Derangement Syndrome is real.
If the median home is 350k, then there are already houses somewhere down around 295k or all the houses are identically priced.

Even now, $50k is only $350/mo. I doubt there's terribly many gangbangers for whom $350/mo is the cutoff.

They just don't want anything to change (literally "conservative" even if progressive politically) and will make any argument they can find for it.

At some point you can't win by convincing them, you either bribe them or steamroll them.

The bribery is very effective, make the developer build a new library or redo all the streets or something.
People really read into this, the societal decline was local police not giving a shit until 15+ victims organized and advocated for themselves for years.
Fewer VC-funded hyper growth companies means a smaller pool of experienced developers to hire from for other ventures.

Not the end of the world here but worth accounting for some of the silver lining of zero interest rate policy.
You’re going to compare self-driving cars to drunk drivers so you can grade them on a curve?

If you’re drunk you’re going to have pay for a ride either by a person or possible by program or you can break the law. I don’t see anyone who was going to drive drunk not do it because they could pay for a robot taxi over a real taxi.
Here’s my comparison. If your self-driving car kills or maims someone in a situation where a normal sober person driving wouldn’t have it shouldn’t be on the road.
The societal decline was local police not giving a shit until 15+ victims organized and advocated for themselves for years.
This is like saying a shitty doctor is okay because they kill less people than a faith healer. You have to hold professionals to a higher standard. This is not rocket science.
Actually, a GPU is not the best kind of hardware for AI (or rather, neural network simulation). It's very well-developed, and more useful than a CPU, but one could design and construct more NN-sim-oriented hardware. NVIDIA have been forced to do this somewhat, cannibalizing some of their more general-purpose compute capabilities in favor of matrix-multiply-add functionality (i.e. "tensor cores"). That's not exactly the "GPU way" of doing things. And one could go every further, perhaps all the way up to some analog computations instead of digital low-precision ones.
It is. But for some reason you will never find the substring “migra” in these sorts of mainstream articles.

And only one person so far in 150 comments has dared to suggest that the demand side of the equation ought to be dealt with. The political narrative is overwhelmingly powerful and even here crimestop[1] is readily observable.

Nope, I remember the first time I tried to use a phenylephrine based cold tablet it after the big uproar about putting pseudoephedrine behind the counter - this is more than a decade ago. I’ve always had relief from pseudoephedrine but I felt absolutely no effect from the phenylephrine tablets (apart from the paracetamol they also contain, but zero decongestant effect). I looked it up and other people were reporting the same, I was so annoyed I never bought it again and from then always ask for the real thing.

Weird thing was the pharmacists always want to know why you’re asking (even beyond doing the drivers license check) and I had to say every time that the off the shelf tablets do literally do nothing for me.
And as bad as prescriptions, somehow medical devices are even more absurd. Only semi-recently did hearing aids become OTC accessible and prices dropped by 40%+ overnight. If you're on a CPAP, via a medical equipment supplier you'll pay more AFTER insurance's share than you would be paying cash online (and they're half even the online price aboard for identical hardware).

One problem the US has is that prescription stuff is held to a higher standard, but in most other countries the standards for medical stuff and how patients get those things are unrelated. So you could OTC something without lowering the legal standards for quality or testing. The US needs to fix that, keep the standards, but OTC by default unless it can be argued why not.

> There is definitely a lot of van life/stealth campers going on here in Seattle, it isn’t hard to notice. But judging by their social media videos, is it fair to call them homeless? It seems like they chose that lifestyle rather than having it forced on them (or maybe it’s a mixture of both?).

This isn't referring to the ones who make social media videos about their lifestyle choices. This is people living in a van because while they've lost housing, they still have a vehicle. The people sleeping in a car at the back of a Walmart parking lot, with a laundry basket beside them on the passenger seat.
Oh I completely agree! our school system sucks.

Which is why I find it insane that we can't even require such a low bar as it is.
Housing type and housing location have a large impact on energy usage. 1000 homes outside of a city requires 1000 cars, and the structure itself will likely not nearly be as energy efficient as a single unit in a larger building.

That's interesting! You mention CharRNN. Any links? I find it especially interesting to test whether models that know syntax, know superficially human language -like syntax, or actually syntax that conforms to the deep (syntactic) structure of human languages.
"Don't blame me--I voted for Kodos!"

We did vote for Obama who gave us the ACA. And a number of states have banned surprise billing from out-of-network doctors. And hospitals are now required to post prices, but they ignore that

So there has been change in the last 20 years, but clearly we're spending more than ever.
Very true, the railway fell from prominence but in the last twenty years, London has been seriously revamping its stations to possibly recapture some of that old, well, prestige and glamour are probably overstating the drive, but certainly to make them more useful, robust, commercial and extract more from every square foot.
Aren’t libraries free? Or rather , tax funded.
Did Microsoft pay the entire $75k? The people who found that issue reported it to multiple stakeholders, and their blog post[1] merely says they were awarded $75k in total. I assume the bulk of the bounties were paid by the service providers who failed to heed the warning in Microsoft's documentation.

Also, the Microsoft issue was far worse as it could be exploited by anyone; the Google issue requires a rogue employee or a misconfigured email ticketing system.

It really doesn’t matter in either case. Once they are addicted to fent, they probably aren’t coming back from it. So instead of throwing all our resources at drug addiction, we could instead throw it at getting newly unhoused off the street into safe and secure housing. If housing is their only need, that is a much easier problem than forcing an addict into treatment that probably won’t work.

Did the Adderall help you keep your job/do well in life etc? I think if people could get adderall over the counter then everyone would start taking it. Even those without ADHD. They wouldn't know how to titrate the doseage as well.

That's strange and I was surprised reading in the article that phenylephrine is ineffective. Basically this is the only combo that works for me all the time: https://www.drugs.com/mtm/pheniramine-and-phenylephrine.html

It's available as Neo Citran in the EU. Tried a couple of other meds, neither worked, nor the parts of the combo separately (combined with other stuff). Only side effect is that it knocks me out a bit, making me feel tired. At least falling asleep is easier. It's the side effect of pheniramine.

very tangential similarity that photons have momentum, and so impart a force on massive object. But it's also confusing compared to this, because photons are heating the substance (which actually would impart an opposing momentum), to "boil" it, to use kinetic forces to push in the desired direction. I appreciate the link but I don't think the effects are that similar.
