Considering the "leather" was from the right hand of a slain enemy, maybe this was a pun (Beth Mole, of Ars Technica, is known for this kind of thing)?
there has definitely been a change in tone and tenor over the past few years. seen it on HN, too.

I've thought about adding this to my own platform. Just checking the Accept header for text/html or text/markdown, then sending them whatever they prefer. I just don't know if anyone would actually use it.
Yes but that doesn't really mean much. We always expect it to have, say, 4 hurricanes, so if it had 3, we still expect the same number as always (4). The fact that we didn't have one this year doesn't change next year's expectation.

How/when did these types of regulations come about? This feels like an insane thing to have to keep in mind while developing.

The root of your misunderstanding is thinking that things being worse for non-white folks implies things had to be great for all white folk. Privilege in society is not a binary.

> Throughout History the only thing that makes life easier or harder is which social class one belongs to.

Racism, sexism, and classism intersect. Saying that only one of these 3 social phenomena exist is false. If you're intellectually curious and want to learn more about the world, I encourage you to read up on intersectionality. You can find lots of wonderful resources on this topic, starting with the original work by Kimberlé Crenshaw.
I firmly believe Apple just looked at this as a cost of doing business.

They would still be paying Masimo compensation and would continue for as long as the watches were sold.

"So where does this leave us for facial recognition?"

Where it leaves us is that it doesn't work, and it can't work. I see no evidence that there is some big reservoir of facial recognition quality to be extracted from the same basic data set. There is all sorts of reasons to believe that it is simply impossible to create a system that can be given a small percentage of the population as the targets and pick them out from millions of samples correctly.

Of all the disciplines, those trained in computer science should be aware of the concept that problems can be fundamentally hard or unsolvable.

However, I've been careful to phrase what I think may be fundamentally unsolvable as being related to "the same basic data set". Expansion of the data set provides other possibilities, and while I'm not ready to declare that adding that data will certainly solve the problem, I'm not ready to declare it as fundamentally unsolvable either. Add portable device tracking, gait analysis, speech analysis, anything else some clever clog can think of, and probably drop the requirement that de facto minimum wagers be asked to confront nominal criminals (I would assert there is no solution to the mismatched incentives there), and the problem may well be solvable. It would, however, require Rite Aid and anyone else planning to use this sort of thing to radically upgrade their hardware.
Ask HN: How do you review your Zettelkasten notes?

While, as other comments have said, this is the common target these days, its a red herring.

The issue and fear is as it has always been for left leaning movements: the tendency to splinter into little factions of slightly differing values and goals, and the purity testing and infighting that follows and keeps the majority of movements from doing anything remotely useful.
Ah yes, Conda, definitely something else I've heard of.
The inertia of the rotor helps a lot stabilize an autogyro. You don't get the same inertia in a small drone. One can certainly invoque a square/cube law there.

There are scale model autogyros around the 1 or 2 Meter rotor diameter scale, but I haven't seen anyone do smaller - maybe there is, in ultralight indoor flying.

In your own PHP code, you can get by without any typing at all. If/when you start to use 3rd party libraries, that may become a factor, though off the top of my head I can't think of a show stopper.

Battery size only really matters if you are maxing out the charger since the amount of power the battery can take scales with kwhs. To be fair being charger limited is pretty common currently, but in ideal conditions a larger battery will be able to charge more miles/minute than a smaller one.
> I’m sad to see HN members get so attached to easily invalidatable theories so quickly. Have we really lost our critical thinking skills?

Yes?

But it is hard, because some things do need data, and I honestly don't know where to find that.

For example, Florida has a huge insurance and insurability problem. People here Florida and immediately assume hurricanes. But I'm hearing of issues in areas that rarely see a lot of destruction from hurricanes.

OTOH, I hear a lot about roof damage from wind and hail lately. And there are more roofers using storm chasers than I've ever seen. Is this a significant factor? Is the data available?

I also hear about limits on the ability of insurers to raise rates on existing homeowners. Supposedly this conflicts with rises in property values that are greater than the rate increases. Is that true? I see a lot of conjecture, but little proof.
It depends on the EV and the supercharger. But in general it'll be slower than pumping gas. My CCS car takes around 15-18 minutes to get to 80% (because of diminishing charging curves, with most (all?) cars it's faster to do 5 charging stops from 0-80% than 4 charging stops from 0-100).

I haven't done a super long road trip in an EV, but for drives with 1-2 charging stops it doesn't feel that different than ICE cars, especially if have passengers and invariably end up waiting for everyone to go to the bathroom, get a snack, etc. Only exception is places like quartzite where there can be a long line of EVs waiting to charge.

I'm also a Kagi user! I'm leaning towards using products that I pay for that promise me a dignified experience. I worry though, that we're heading to future where there's a class of people that do not see ads and have some degree of privacy and a class of people that do see ads and have no privacy and I fear for their minds and that culture, as I do not think that system lends itself to narrowing any inequality gaps. I worry for increasingly ad supported hardware. I worry. ;)
I'd argue that they're not completely wrong in doing those things.

Many of those things you list really don't take too much time to do, like writing systemd units or using an ORM. But they really help when anyone needs to take a look at things in the future or someone else wants to contribute as well later on. Besides, they're easier to do when things are still fresh in the mind, and these kinds of chores rarely get done later on when a project has grown.

This being a hobby project may also be a reason why the other programmers want to do things right; they may get satisfaction and learn new things by doing it this way!

That's intriguing. I recently heard (and commented here [0] on) the Bowie interview, which I thought was great, and revelatory. Prior to hearing that interview, I wouldn't have believed someone if they told me Bowie would have preferred not to perform live: "Frankly, if I could get away with not having to perform, I'd be very happy."

I am pretty sure provoking small but significant revelations like that are what radio interviews are really good for. A talent for bringing those about, or simply allowing them to come about, is also why Howard Stern is regarded highly as an interviewer, I believe, although the two interviewers use very different techniques. Coincidentally, Gross's interview with Stern was pretty interesting. [1]

Oh I see, they are running a 40B model unquantized, whereas exllamav2 would have to use 4-bit quantization to fit. Given the quality of 4-bit quantization these days and the speed boost it provides I question the utility of running unquantized for serving purposes.

I see they have a 4-bit benchmark lower down in the page. That's where they ought to compare against exllamav2.
That works as long as there's a long-term stake in the brand.

Because Kenmore was a "face" of Sears, who had a vested interest in staying in business, they had a motivation to say "let's pick competent suppliers, and hold them to specific quality metrics." If that "major brand" model started getting returned too much, the next model Kenmore would be sourced from someone else.

Today's brand resurrections seem like less of a long-term play, and more as a shot of "instant credibility" for more short-lived products. My last office had a bunch of Westinghouse-brand LCD monitors. (That pretty much dates it to the late 2000s) They were competent enough, but the brand basically vanished after a couple of years. I suspect they discovered there was little value in the brand as a long-term venture-- they probably didn't actually sell very many based on "Grandma's 14" Westinghouse CRT was awesome back in 1966" and there wasn't enough market impact to fully jolt it back to life as a memorable, going-forward brand.

That looks pretty similar to what I ended up with! In the end, I had Weston running a rootful fullscreen Xwayland as the only Wayland window, and then X clients within that. There were still some complications, since I also wanted to make use of some GStreamer overlays that could totally sidestep window management, and the result wasn't perfect but it worked fine.

Still, I can't help but be somewhat unhappy about how the forced use of Wayland resulted in a fair amount of work, the end result of which was running X clients anyway and trying to pretend Wayland isn't there.

The computers do it for passports photos at self check kiosks in immigration. The thinking is that the computers are better at it anyways, so no fidelity is lost vs a manned checkpoint. A false negative is easy enough to deal with anyways, and that false positive could have happened at the manned checkpoint as well.

Banned lists are simply impossible to implement in general. Instead, police should be more active in shoplifting and organized theft cases. Someone shoplifts, it’s at least a felony, get them in the system, and apply penalties to repeat offenders. Having stores sort this out themselves is just crazy.

One of the first things I did when someone showed me a pre-Chat version of GPT-3 was try to get it to speak in the voice of Borges. I had the same feeling of interesting but inappropriate.

I was really happy to see this pop up and I'm glad someone went through this as a thought experiment but you make a good point that didn't initially occur to me.

I feel like Borges' secular scifi-adjacent mysticism looses a lot of what makes it most meaningful when it's imitated or dissected academically.

That said it does feel like Borges would probably be into the idea of being imitated.
Unfortunately some of the best sites to build cities have been wrecked by politics. Why would any rational person choose to build in Chicago, or Illinois in general, after the damage caused by corruption and failed progressive policies?

From a pure geographic perspective we ought to have a huge, thriving city at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. But instead there are only a few struggling small towns like Cairo, IL. This is almost entirely a political problem.

Exactly the same situation here. I was really into the PvP aspect (especially powerplay - I liked to be a mercenary running defense for cargo ships hauling stuff into a system the power was trying to take over), put in a ton of time working through the engineering grind and learning to proficiently fly without flight assist (trying to navigate through the edge 'channels' of the Coriolis stations without colliding was fun practice).

I gave it so many chances but eventually had to just accept that FDev didn't really care that much about improving the game when one of the powerplay powers 'collapsed'. The original deal with regard to that happening was that FDev would remove that power, progress the lore and maybe introduce another power eventually. Instead they ignored it and allowed other players to exploit the situation, completely breaking powerplay as a system.
A lot of these copycat themes end up getting like 80% of the way there with an uncanny valley vibe but this is spot on
People also made the argument that the exclusivity of the Tesla supercharger network was a positive for Tesla. It's hard for both to be true.

I think the reality is that uncertainty about charging away from home pushed a lot of people towards Tesla who might otherwise have considered a different make/model. With that gone, a moat vanished. That being said, competition in the US EV market is still weak. Maybe the added charging revenue outweighs that for now, but long-term, it seems like it will undoubtedly be a negative.
