I'm not actually sure why everyone is so concerned about driving in winter conditions. What is the primary concern, other than sensors freezing? As a human driver, I find the biggest problem to be other human drivers who insist on driving fast even in winter weather. It seems like almost all of the complications could be avoided by slowing down.
Benevity is a company that basically administers company matching donations.

Database of approved nonprofits, can set up arbitrary amounts as recurring payments, and automatic matching if you do the donations through their site.

It’s not quite “I got $500 this month to give back, scatter it amongst my chosen charities” but you could definitely use a service like that to set up baseline donations.

I don’t do scheduled donations; prefer to spool it up and make a splash when employer offers 2:1 match. Don’t think I’ve seen that in all of ‘23, though, so settling for 1:1 now.

I have a couple more scenarios for you. Overdriving your headlights is a great way to hit something you don't see in time. The safe speed in average conditions on low beams is around 25 to 30 mph, and on high beams, it is around 45 to 50 mph. If there's any glare on the roadway from security lights and oncoming drivers, your safe speed drops 10 to 20 miles an hour.

Related to this is glare from the sun or artificial sources. I lived in a small city with antique-style globe lamps on Main Street. The veiling glare made pedestrians invisible, and even if you knew about the glare and watched for pedestrians, you would still be surprised when they became visible halfway across the street in front of you.
An example is the top level comment immediately below this thread (on my screen at least): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38721311

“No, Nvidia just found themselves in a lucky situation.”
Good point, especially when referenced to he low chance of the strategy working.
I've worked my bit of menial/awful jobs in my career (have you ever fallen asleep standing up on a production line before?). And let me tell you that if you are only going to commerce with industries with high job satisfaction, you are not going to be a member of society for long.

I know lots of people who have worked or work for Amazon. And it's by far not the worst offender in our economy. If anything, an Amazon warehouse is under more scrutiny than the Dollar Tree one next door.
Waymo is not Tesla, they're actually building self-driving cars.
It's war.

War always has a downstream technological and economic impact.

Before the US began supporting Ukraine in 2022, Russia was actively testing it's own next-gen weapons platforms in Donbas, which lead to the downing of MH17 [0] and the development of Turkiye's drone warfare program [1] as Ukraine couldn't afford (edit: was unable to get weapons transfers as NATO did not want to escalate) American weaponry so they went with Turkiye.

If the US didn't support Ukraine, then why should non-treaty American Partners like India, Vietnam, Philippines, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, etc align with the US?

Omega-3 stays in your body for only about 6 months and must be continuously replenished. This can be an issue over the course of a single pregnancy. But it's not something that gets progressively depleted over multiple pregnancies.

A good point. Where’s the cost-benefit to use _more_ plastic to create more durable products, even at the cost of recyclability?

Right now I’m making a product that should last 10 years outdoors. I wanted to pick PET or HDPE for their high recyclability, but if it leads to a shorter product lifespan (and all the opportunities to drop out of the recycling stream), what’s the point? Our plan is use a more rugged plastic and take back old product ourselves to recycle, only because we have a willing injection molder.

ABS is one of the most commonly used plastics and very unrecyclable, but it might be more acceptable if the electronics in it were supported for more than 3 years.
I use k-means clustering to find topics using mpnet. I've done similar things with other kinds of document vectors and never had so much success.

It is good for classification too and used in my YOShInOn smart RSS reader which I sometimes think of pointing at Mastodon.

Speaking from personal experience people move to Seattle not because there’s large supply of housing but because it is where there are high paying jobs. It’s the only reason I’m in Seattle and I can say the same for several coworkers, so wouldn’t call it induced demand.

People move to where they can make a decent living, which increasingly means big cities. Saying it’s induced demand makes it sound like it’s insatiable but really it just the ratio of housing to high paying jobs is way out of whack.
Someone upload it to the internet before it’s gone forever!
From my personal point of view, expecting a union to force large corporations into modifying their office layout is irrational.
If they really wanted to, they should go the opensource route. Maybe they could succeed like unblock origin. They basically based their product on a 12yo's solution so why not let others contribute as well.
You may be right, but you may also be exemplifying am unconscious bias that pro-corporate/pro-existing-power-structures = neutral, and anti- those things is "idealist" and so not neutral.
> “Each time that Beeper Mini goes ‘down’ or is made to be unreliable due to interference by Apple, Beeper’s credibility takes a hit. It’s unsustainable,” Beeper writes.

This was my feeling from the first time I saw it on HN. I am in the Apple ecosystem, so I had no need for it anyways, but I didn’t expect a product to last when it relies on Apple not restricting something they clearly want to restrict.

It clearly got them a lot of press, attention, and recognition. But also indicated, to me, that they are just not reliable.

The team seems very intelligent and capable. I truly hope they find something to do next that doesn’t rely on such a fragile bridge.
Obviously you roll out a safety critical system like this in the simplest scenarios first as you build confidence.

Also, frankly, humans drive in situations where they just shouldn't. There are times where the conditions are so bad that the only correct decision is to just say it is not possible to safely drive today. Personally, I don't drive in dense fog because your options are basically drive too fast and risk hitting something you can't see, or drive at a sensible slow speed and risk being hit from behind - which isn't your fault but might still kill you. Even the most advanced aeroplanes with all the latest and greatest sensors still have defined limits where they won't fly.

Also, that Arc de Triomphe example should just be replaced with a safe priority system. Priorité à droite is a silly rule, and it's especially silly on a roundabout. In my opinion, crashes there are the fault of the road, not the driver.
I'm not entirely convinced that being "pro life" is some dangerous to have, heroic, non-conformist position to take for Ohio resident, but whatever...
Mad respect for trying. Maybe there will be some sort of litigation on their behalf?
There is definitely both luck and uncertainty with regard to R&D. If you don't look, you won't find it, but looking is not a guarantee.

In the case of AR/VR, I think there are two issues that make payoffs uncertain: 1) the hardware would have to get much cheaper; when will that be? 2) What is the killer app that would motivate the (large) expeditures required to produce compelling virtual environments? Games is an obvious case, but games are a very different beast than online meeting rooms -- the whole action/reward cycle of games isn't likely to work for business meetings. It isn't really clear that VR adds enough value to be compelling for non-gaming apps.

But it could easily be true that we just haven't imagined the right use case. You won't find it if you don't look.
Incidentally benefit. Don't want to start an agricultural operation, just to keep in mind what to buy that will help my potted plants.
Apple's behavior on messaging is terrible and they should be taking more heat than they are on this. Apple seems to want to be seen as the good guy on many issues (like privacy), but on this one they are clearly the bad guy. They need to do better.
Just have to last until 1st of January and then host it in New Zealand and other life+50 countries.
Traffic is rarely “free flowing” at any speed on these kinds of roads. Often I see “moving roadblocks”: clumps of cars going around or just under the speed limit jockeying around each other, impeding other traffic from moving around them. So-called “defensive drivers” are often unpredictably overly cautious: I’d wager they are at least an indirect cause of accidents quite often, but are severely under-represented in the statistics (if/when they’re represented at all).
Sigh, EU cares about your privacy until it doesn't. These are data collection and monitoring nightmares. Big brother here we come.
that's fair. on the other hand, the copyright really should have expired by now.
The sensible move would really be to break up these "everything" apps. Sure WeChat may have a wifi service, but if it is being used by 0.01% of the user base then why is everyone else forced to approve the permissions? Creating a separate "WeChat Wifi Connector" takes zero extra effort on their part.
ah! you want images of dead children! something that israel refuses to weaponise an and hamas rather enjoy doing. They have martyrdom cult. Thanks German media for not inciting hardcore reactions in a public that is not directly affected.
My first hundred lines in a module might be a feature but the next hundred lines in that module are likely handling unforeseen edge cases. My next -150 lines can be me refactoring the module to just be better designed.

Counting lines is a terrible metric for software. It lacks any sort of useful context.

I was curious if people were still going into Pharmacy since every drug store I've walked into in the last 5 years looked like an empty thrift store that just had a tornado blow through it. This article was written by a class of 2025 Pharmacy student.

https://pharmacy.wsu.edu/2023/04/24/real-talk-on-the-future-...

> Applying to pharmacy school I was told the field was saturated, but now there are corporations offering pharmacists signing bonuses and most pharmacies are understaffed. What changed?

COVID. The pharmacists that were close to retiring just retired. There were less applications to pharmacy schools nationwide and therefore less people entering the field. Previously it was a requirement to have some kind of first post-graduate year (PGY1) and/or second post-graduate year (PGY2) residency to work in the hospital setting, but now I have seen job openings that have no residency requirement, and they are willing to do specialty training on the job because they need more people to fill roles and a larger applicant pool.
Hmm … I don’t see that in my nextdns logs. Is that a custom block you put into place or are you using a different filter list then I am?
Indeed.

My wife is an ER charge nurse, and she often complains about the behavior of cops in the emergency room. They have someone on the edge of death and the cops often are in the room yelling at the nurses to get them to do a blood draw and drug screening.

Cops need a warrant to get that, and even if they had a warrant in hand, performing the blood draw wouldn't even be considered until the patient is stabilized. But they never have a warrant, and the pressure the cops apply is withering. Most people -- even doctors and nurses -- would eventually cave.

Fortunately, as the charge nurse, she's the one who has to approve such a thing, so the cops have to deal with her. And she's hard as a rock. They aren't going to make her wilt.
> Like Communism, capitalism is a teleological system at its root, relying on a narrative of progress, on a forward-moving vector of time, but when that time turns cyclical, repetitive, without a clear direction, the system begins to disintegrate, not under the weight of its own contradictions, as Marx would tell us, but under the weight of its own uniformity.

Capitalism is economic freedom and a government to enforce it. It isn't teleological.

The apparent telos of capitalism comes from people. It turns out that people, in the presence of freedom, have certain goals which they choose to pursue. Prominent among those goals is the accumulation of wealth. When it becomes excessive, that goal may be worth criticizing but people will choose to pursue it whenever they are free.

> Today, we have become citizens of a global, Brezhnevian capitalist state, which, in its failure to provide an inspiring frontier—gone are the days of Kennedy’s “New Frontiers” or Obama’s “Change We Can Believe In”—has slowly ossified and wrapped back upon itself.

Do we need politicians to pick our frontiers? Actually there's plenty of frontiers. Some examples are: eradicating human disease, extending human lifespan, replacing fossil field, exploring the solar system, changing how humans interact on the internet, inventing AGI, etc. It's beyond me that someone can claim with a straight face that there's no inspiring frontier.

The problem here is people who find these frontiers too boring. They secretly want a do-over of the 20th century. No thanks.
That's a good one but there are other forms too.
1. You turn up to buy the store brand of x commodity food but it's out of stock. Stockflation?
2. Bad service. Long waiting times at a restaurant for example.
Looks like it is this:

However it appears the local company that made the autonomous driving system went bankrupt:

It makes you wonder how autonomous driving systems get supported after their maker's bankruptcy.
Curious, is there’s a way to install Asahi on an external NVME and boot from there, while leaving the Mac OS untouched?
It was part and parcel of early D&D. In the OD&D and 1E days, the tournaments and tournament modules were all about finding and testing the best players, not the best player characters/builds. The tournament modules purported to do that in a systematic way, usually judging skill by how far you got in the scenario before dying. Gygax would often pontificate about player skill being the key to success in his tougher scenarios.
I have a system that filters RSS feeds like this, out of 7000 articles it might pick 300 to show me, it takes just a few minutes to build and validate a model on a rather powerful PC so so far performance is not a problem.

If I were wanting to offer this kind of service to other people I know I could get an economy of scale just ingesting RSS feeds once, I think a lot of users might be happier sampling items from the firehose instead of curating a feed list, and I'd probably give up on the pure content-based filtering and include some collaborative filtering because people would perceive that it learns faster.
I could definitely see them having the foresight to predict that the future would pay good money for a bulk mathematical operations of a certain type. I have trouble imagining them predicting AI specifically, when crypto and gaming were paying the bills so well. If I went back to 2018, I wonder if he'd say they bet the company on bitcoin back in 2012.
I would also take a look at Rootly.com - companies like Elastic, Figma, and others use them to automate their incident response. They allow companies to collaborate on Slack, plug into existing integrations like PagerDuty/Jira, and offer a status page too!
Setting the ball in motion to set a precedent I'm guessing.

Everything that has transpired over the last few weeks strengthens the narrative for an anti trust case and hopefully makes an illustrative case in favour for adversarial interop (w.r.t megacorps).

That itself protects an untold amount of OSS projects that have been victims to billion dollar megacorp legal threats and bullying.

Idk how these things work but I hope Eric and the beeper team take Apple to the cleaners and get enough to retire a thousand times over.
> 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.

That is surveillance in the same what that checking in with a probation officer is a form of surveillance. Just like encryption I'm not obligated to live my life in a way that makes detecting crimes easy or possible.
Things we learned at the Women in AI event
Sir, our data analysis shows that you and your family would have been crushed under one of our trucks last month if it hadn't been for its autonomous driving software. Based on your internet commenting history you have expressed a preference to be crushed under the vagaries of human-spectrum incompetence rather than being subjected to soulless, less-than-perfect machine behavior offered by our corporate overlords.

We are here to offer you a correction of this regrettable mistake. Could you please call your family and follow us to the flesh compactor? We assure you that it is operated by a real, drunk human.
I strongly disagree. The landscape of what "digital privacy" means is rapidly changing, and should be addressed by the national legislature in specific and clear text, not a patchwork of incomplete and conflicting opinions across different court jurisdictions. Clarity and specificity is very important if we want these laws to be effective.
It’s a shame that the “antisemitism” claims seem to be so embedded in the narrative that they go unchallenged. As for the plagiarism claims… eh. It was 1997 and I seriously doubt it was intentional. Plus, the people who seem to care are also the people who abhor any higher education that isn’t Liberty or Praeger.
Or perhaps the issue is law enforcement criminally intimidating these pharmacists and clerks. Seems they are the only ones that aren't held to any standard.
Would you download and host an awful book out of principle?
For anybody wanting to take a look at the code, this time the Github link does include it - it's not empty, which is typicaly for those "too good to be true" publications
I'm glad their efforts raised awareness of the Apple's closed messaging system and the "bullying" and social friction it causes. A company in Apple's position abusing it's power to make people, mostly young people, feel bad until they buy an iPhone is about as vile of a marketing tactic as I can think of.
The more surviveable option is probably to consider asteroid impacts to be an unstoppable larger part of the evolutionary cycle, however terrifying. Rather than risk destroying ourselves via mishandling low-probability countermeasures. Spraying sun blocking aerosol into the atmosphere to lower temps probably falls into the same category.

This person tried to sue the estate for copyright infringement to the tune of $250M because he thinks think they lifted something out of his fanfiction for Rings of Power, as if he somehow had ownership of Tolkien's setting. This was just a countersuit because he put himself on their radar in the dumbest way possible.

play stupid games win stupid prizes. There are plenty of fanfictions that go to market safely by filing off the serial numbers, just do that.

I'm generally in favor of derivative works and I enjoy spending time on AO3. I'm not in favor of being an idiot about it, though. Maybe you should not bite the hand that feeds you: https://i.imgur.com/2wwbson.png
Not medical advice, but you'd probably get a similar response just by using regular ol' saline nasal spray for those lighter allergy or dust symptoms.
I've seen dynamic dispatch mentioned twice. What do you mean? Isn't that just `fn foo() -> Box<dyn Future<...>>`?
You don't have to break up the app, just require user opt in to enable the feature for the app.
Just to drop the name, we're talking about quantum key distribution (QKD).

> Now, what bits do you actually send?

You just send random bits and get a key. Then use the key however you want (AES, one-time-pad if you're crazy...). I guess that's actually the same as what you were saying...

> It can take seconds to send a 1,000 bit key just 1km

Toshiba marketing claims "13.7 Mb/s over a fiber distance of 10 km" [1]. I'm sure they also have a paper somewhere.

> You need a single photon source

No, people use "Decoy States", which allows you to use a "normal" weak pulsed laser. There is also continuous variable QKD which does not need single photons. You can use single photons (and some implementations do) but it's not mandatory.

Everyone needs to learn about Third Party Doctrine:

> "The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in that information. A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant."

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_doctrine

edit:

If you want to learn the legal reasoning for this, check out "Habeas Data: Privacy vs. the Rise of Surveillance Tech" by Cyrus Farivar. It's a great and horrifying book.
Yea. To the left of my desk is a southern facing window that in the morning is blindingly bright. It's also subject to fun weather effects like partly cloudy days where the light can vary wildly. If I'm doing something I need to care about, then I just close the shades as much as possible and rely entirely on my lighting setup. It's a little annoying to be blocking out the nice sunny day in favor of artificial lighting...but that's what it takes sometimes.

Then on my breaks I just make sure to go outside and enjoy said sun.
What did they expect would happen? Apple's reaction was more than predictable. Why waste money and time on this?
