Yeah some cars (like the polestar) have really shallow rear-seat legroom, which was a total showstopper. They could have move some of those batteries to the trunk/frunk
Not necessarily. Using the plug doesn't imply that you have to use Tesla's charging network, even while still using Tesla's charging hardware.

Tesla is already working on deals to sell their super/ultra-fast chargers to others like EG Group and BP. Expect the number of those deals to grow.

I would argue that this will benefit those with with Teslas. As Tesla scales up to meet the demand for their charging hardware, the cost should drop while availability increases.

Moreover, as the number of independent networks that use Tesla's charging hardware grows, there will be additional pressure/leverage/lobbying on the government, electric companies, etc to provide the behind-the-scenes infrastructure that theses charging locations require. Tesla has on numerous occasions asserted that this is one of the most difficult parts of growing their charging network in places that have the greatest demand.

>>A new randomized controlled trial by Harvard and Stanford economists finds that ChatGPT can substantially boost productivity for professionals completing everyday writing tasks.

>>Participants were randomly assigned realistic work simulations with or without access to ChatGPT.

>>Those with access to the AI tool completed assignments 40% faster while producing 18% higher quality output as judged by expert evaluators.

Any assessment of LLMs that overlooks the profound positive impact they are already having on society is completely inaccurate.

I think type annotations are extremely valuable even if you don't use mypy. On my team we basically use them as comments that are understood by the IDE, but aren't enforced. Of course comments can lie, but appeasing mypy really is a lot of work, and I would generally rather have a slightly dishonest but mostly correct type hint than some TypeVar monstrosity or, worse, Any.
Surely this is settled law? I would have thought cars crash due to mechanical fault quite often.

> Housing is one of the biggest drivers of rising college costs in the U.S.

While some people might otherwise choose to live in the middle of nowhere where they have to pay you to take a house, the data suggests that most people (especially young people most likely to take an interest in college) already live in the places where the colleges are found.

For all intents and purposes, isn't the housing cost expended regardless of college enrolment? In other words, it is not a college cost.

actually thinking this more, is having another auth layer absolutely necessary? kernel already does check that the user has access to the socket, that should be enough for poc. basically could you use just socat as your "sudo", something like

socat UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/socat-sudo,group=wheel,mode=660,fork EXEC:bash

wrapped into appropriate systemd service unit (and using better path for the socket)? might want to add some extra flags to make sure ptys etc are handled nicely, but still, this would allow privilege escalation in somewhat controlled manner

The anecdote I'm describing wasn't a social media-driven thing at all. I agree though, social media makes it far worse. I should have clarified in the story though because I meant to indicate that these things occurred even before social media was such a major influence on this kind of behaviour.
1. Originally, Wireflow was made with Meteor, when there was a way to save data.

2. Then there was a rewrite with React, but not yet a way to save data.

3. Then maintainers did have some other projects where they did spend most of their time.

That brings my questions, are some interested in this kind of tool? Would some like to contribute more to Wireflow? Has some news about other similar tools bring more interest to have Wireflow maintained even better?

Just thinking, as one of the maintainers of Wireflow.
I know Waymo are the investing a lot into the PR that makes them seem successful, but they are the only company I actually see on track to delivering autonomous cars (on existing infrastructure).

I'm still a bit torn on whether autonomous cars are a good thing once you consider all the second and third order effects (even more cars on the streets, less investment into better modes of transport, and traffic will get a lot worse once people are ok with sitting in bad traffic and watching Netflix). But I have to applaud Waymo for their great execution on a very difficult problem.
It...is a driverless car.
I'll upgrade my original comment: I think the business code is the present, and the abstraction is the wrapping. It looks pretty on the surface, and you have to do a bit of unwrapping to see what's actually there!
As a single anecdote, I’ve taken 12 Waymo rides over the past 3 months, and I’d put them at ~90th percentile with respect to human Uber/Lyft drivers in terms of smoothness/quality of reaction to the various hazards of SF streets.

(Over ~4 Cruise rides, I’d put them closer to median)
You’re absolutely right. Thankyou.

I guess in my head I grouped Latin America with South America which wasn’t correct.

Thank you. That's very likely very perfect as a starting point.

My experience with most of these sorts of things is that they're horrible as and-products, but that's not how I use them. The basic flow:

- Buy it

- Put in a bigger direct-drive motor instead of a gear-driven one to reduce noise

- Change the fabric for insulation and washability

- ...

Ship of Thesus

They're quite often perfect to start tweaking and iterating from. The number of modified Ikea items I have in my house is... perhaps not large, but moderate.

Their blackout cellular blind might actually be even better. Less hackable, but much more directly usable. Cellular blinds provide much more insulation, by virtue of air cavities.
Absolutely, and we should do what's reasonably possible to reduce the number of images out there in circulation. But we can't do what is the equivalent of shutting down the whole Internet, in order to stop it.

Society and AI development have to keep going, otherwise progress will be disrupted. It's progress that has gotten us out of the barbaric Medieval period and the Dark Ages.
Nationalize insurance, maybe?

An insurance company's one and only incentive is to charge as much as possible while paying out as little as possible, iow to profit as much as they can. Actually protecting the client or their property does not factor into the equation at all.

If we nationalized insurance, maybe the entire country can subsidize these extremely high risk areas. We can also add a legal mandate that insurance not operate for profit, and should change premium rates to scale up and down with the real amount paid out. Or something, I'm no money surgeon.

And before someone blusters about paying for other people's shit: yes, that's what a healthy society does. We should all care about the wellbeing of others. Feel free to propose an alternative solution that doesn't involve depopulating all of our low-lying lands and dumping those citizens somewhere with no housing, no job, and no money and just ignoring the suffering and death this will cause.

Show HN: macOS/Windows AI app that sees, performs actions, and suggests files
Hey Hacker News, my name is Vlad: https://twitter.com/Fortune_VY

We’ve been working on IDEs AI assistants for a few years https://www.machinet.net/. Yeah, years :) before chatGPT came along. We have learned a lot about AI models, and how the autoregressive nature coupled with the inability to switch an abstraction level throws a wrench in the works of a possible truly autonomous AI assistant, even OpenAI has featured us on their blog.

The more we tinkered with the assistant problem for IDEs, the more we realized the gap between our dream assistant and chatGPT is huge. Moreover, we want to put our ideas faster into code, but not only code, into actions, and words too. So we decided to drop the IDEs part in our product and make a general version aka J.A.R.V.I.S. - here came mateOS or mate. Besides, we have already done a few exploration demos for voice and action: https://twitter.com/Fortune_VY/status/1721949622149538189

Mate is still an mvp, but it's already simple to use:

- Each time you make a query, mate can see your screen. It opens up a new dimension as you don't have to explain what is happening.

- It can perform simple actions on your computer, for example, ask it to “list all processes in the terminal, or draft an email in Gmail” and it will do it.

- It can also ask ChatGPT about your problem by providing detailed context.

- Mate senses open files in IDEs and other applications; it will suggest them so you can include them in the prompt. Very handy for chatting with PDFs and debugging the front end.

- And, it's completely secure, so you can feel safe. We do not store, see, or train on your data. The screenshot is taken only in the event of a query.

I still think it’s a crazy competitive market with small and large players, but I hope to find a space under the sun. If you'd like to give mate a spin, here it is for macOS and Windows: https://www.mate-os.com/

Happy to hear what you think and what we missed in mate.

Some software may not bridge the gap in design sensibilities between Japan and other countries, but Sony and Nintendo are examples of massive Japanese companies working on various hardware and UX solutions for an international audience. I don't think it's fair to paint software from Japan with such a broad brush.

A minimalist design aesthetic also doesn't automatically equate to good UX. I think there's lots of people on this site that would say modern, western UX is often poorly executed and potentially getting worse (in some regards.) A common complaint I hear is that interfaces have too much white-space.

If UX is predicated on user research, it's important to recognize that people coming from outside Japan and who don't know the language aren't the target users and probably not the right ones to be making a judgement calls on the quality of Japanese software as a whole.

If you're asking about the difference in design sensibilities, this is speculation, but a couple things that come to mind are:

- The information density of local written languages.

- The relatively small number of fluent English speakers in Japan means there's potentially less opportunity for ideas and design patterns to cross pollinate, making each style feel more foreign to outsiders.
It's such a shame, because the flight engine is superb, the graphics and sound design are spectacular, and (especially in VR) the immersion is just superb.

But the game is a _grind_. It does not respect the players time at all.
"As for performance, well you can't get a lot of gaming performance out of this chip (..) The onboard GPU supports up to OpenGL 3.2, OpenCL 2.0, Vulkan 1.2 & offers 50.7GFLOPS of performance."

Huh? There's a contradiction if I ever saw one.

As a sniff test: "More powerful than <insert list of classic gaming consoles here>"

I'm sure that would be a rather long list. And thus "not a lot of gaming performance" is not an accurate description.

As compared to current handhelds, sure. But in that case: name names & show benchmarks, please.
Same here. I recently discussed YouTube with a friend and I was really surprised we had lots of channels in common. I honestly thought that what I casually watch wild be more or less unique (as a set)

Cow hoof trimming (a Scottish guy Hoof GP and a US one someone the hoof guy), painting restoration (complicated name Beaumsometing), cooking (an Aussie guy Andy, and a British one who dances at the end of the preparation) and science (Veritaserum, Numberphile etc.)

I skipped the French channels about cooking (grolandiers) and science.

I now realize that I am really bad with the names of the channels :)

Like others said. Waymo One in San Francisco is great. Smooth / confident drive. Good situation awareness (several times when it made unexpected action, only later I realized there is a person or a car it tried to avoid).

Looking forward to expand its coverage to SFO, that will be a game-changer.

Still not sure of it economics though. Its current price is on-par with Uber Comfort / a little bit over Uber X. How that can support the R&D or future capital-heavy expansion?
Insurers are abandoning California, due to increased wildfire risks, also linked to climate change.

I agree, and I think part of the correction would be because of your latter point.

> mysterious aliens that pluck you out of hyperspace

This mechanic was so interesting - it would happen to me, I'd manage to survive the assualt, and then be so far away from anywhere to refuel, and without enough fuel to jump again, that I'd be dead-in-the-water every time. It was so weird to win the battle and then.. not. But I couldn't help but always get excited when it would happen! Did anyone ever survive this?
It's hard to make direct analogies because unlike gas vehicles, EVs "refuel" at home. You wake up every day with a full tank of gas. Fast DC chargers are mostly for road trips.

And while it's a good thing that everyone has adopted the same charging standard, branding is just as important. Gas at gas stations is fungible. EV chargers are most certainly not. Right now Tesla's charging network is the only option that is fast and reliable.

I solely rent from Hertz (because of a big corporate discount). I used to rent cars frequently, though not as much in the past few years. Other than small scratches and other minor things, I’ve never had a vehicle with real issues.

The Model 3 I rented, from Hertz, didn’t have any visible modifications. But it was missing the outer lower plastic on one of the mirrors. The person at the desk said that they see that a lot (from a car wash?). It didn’t cause any real issues but did cause a whistling noise.
When I initially got it, the Autopilot was not working (which I didn’t notice until after leaving the rental place). I looked up the error displayed, but it was pretty vague and the manual said to clean the cameras, which had no effect. Luckily I found online in Reddit or another forum that the next thing to re-calibrate, which fixed it.

Overall, I will rent one again, because they certainly are fun, but they are not what I want for a main vehicle, at least yet.
A bit of an aside, but: I live and drive along 101 south of SFO, and you can literally see this chain of landings- typically if I can see the plane flying between San Mateo Bridge and SFO, I can see the next pair of planes, and at night/clear weather, I can see one or two more pairs.

I went to check flightradar but I can see right now they are landing planes in the opposite configuration (approaching from the northeast instead of the south east), I guess because of wind conditions (see Operational Flow, https://www.flysfo.com/about/community-noise/noise-office/fl...).
>Where it leaves us is that it doesn't work, and it can't work.

You didn't answer the second part of my comment:

"How would that be enforced? If a store employee thinks they recognize someone from a few minutes ago, are they supposed to ignore that fact, and pretend that they're different people, on the off chance that the guy might be someone else[1]?"

>and probably drop the requirement that de facto minimum wagers be asked to confront nominal criminals

Are you saying this on the basis that they're not qualified to make an identification, or that confrontation would put them at risk of violence? If it's the latter it really doesn't have anything to do with facial recognition. It would still apply even if replaced facial recognition with a 100% accurate oracle.
For better or worse, we generally don’t imprison anyone when machines fail unless there’s evidence of gross negligence or incompetence. See space shuttle disasters, collapsing bridges, train derailments, building collapses etc etc. It’s possible that there should be some jail time because it’s hard often to assess whether it’s a cultural issue (management), a team-specific issue, or an individual issue. That’s why post mortems that are blameless are the best ones - it documents the failure and what changes should be enacted as a result.

The only thing I could think of on the question of Apple Silicon and Metal is that they think they could still split out the cold neurons to the CPU/Accelerate and the hot ones on the GPU and utilize both. The speedup is likely less if there is already no copying of data between GPU/CPU and using the unified memory. Still, it would be great if you could use even more of the capabilities of the chip simultaneously. In order to avoid thermal throttling they should use the efficiency cores only (I think this is what game mode does).
Sort of. At the state level, the GOP has veto-proof majorities in the legislature plus the governorship. Democrats have only won the state’s presidential election 5 times in the last ~50 years. And o e of those (Clinton) wasn’t a majority. But it’s close.

FWIW, I've used them quite a few times here in Phoenix --- overall a very positive experience. The Waymo car used to be too cautious and would take weird routes but now they drive appropriately aggressive and the route selection is much better.
