The first claims of AGI from a major player, accompanied by an increasingly shrill societal battle over AI regulation. Mutually derogatory labels for the camps will be coined. The media will promote and amplify the worst present abuses and imagined future dystopians. By Thanksgiving dinner, the debate will have entered every household. Trump will embrace the anti-AI populist bandwagon, as will the GOP. Fun times ahead.l, although we’ll be no closer to real AGI than we were before.
Are you pressured to tip with Walmart same day though? That’s why I stopped using DoorDash. I hate how expensive tipping makes everything, but I don’t want to be a jerk and not tip when the driver is underpaid.. so I just stopped using it.

This is the right way to think about it. You get half at the beginning and half at the end so overall you get an extra rotation.
It’s smaller, simpler, yet just as powerful. Less verbose. (In general, it is not unusual that extension and modification of the original design, however sensible, is done at the expense of elegance.)
I got an 800 on the Math portion of the SAT, but the results also said I missed a question (this was mid-90's), so maybe that one was thrown out?

Poverty isn't a man made problem. It's the default state of nature, which was true for most humans in the history of our species. We can't solve it overnight. It takes decades of gradually increasing a society's wealth from subsistence farming to full industrialization. It's definitely possible to do it more quickly than we did in the Western world (~200 years), as evidenced by the progress that China and India have made toward eliminating extreme poverty in the last 20 years. But it's naive to think that we can just snap our fingers and solve poverty for the rest of the world. In the mean time, it totally makes sense to try and alleviate the suffering of people in poverty in whatever ways we can.
The big problem with CA's minimum-wage laws is that they're piecemeal bullshit. A minimum wage should not depend on what sub-niche of a particular industry you work in. A living wage is a living wage. Are they going to pass 10,000 separate minimum-wage laws for every possible vocation?

California is a bloated hog of bureaucracy, gobbling up billions or trillions of dollars for no benefit. Disgusting.
Hi Alexey, I was referring to the bug you fixed two weeks ago. This comment was for the weird results that Ben's cited.
I apologize here because I did not check the commit carefully, and I thought you had not updated the results (because the results on Zipf are worse than I expected). Thank you for clarifying this!

Can you clarify what you disagree about on lock-free queues? Do you mean that S3-FIFO cannot be implemented without locks?
Probably trimmed due to HN's length limit
The parks and school are ~mostly correct as well.
“Two Pizza Hut operators in California are eliminating their in-house delivery services at hundreds of stores, resulting in more than 1,200 driver layoffs”
I think people treat make like a dmv trip or taxes.

They want to get in, get it done, and get out.

But who wants to improve the DMV?
Where are you getting your information? Doesn’t pass the smell test. Apple does tons of licensing deals—how could you run a vertically integrated company like theirs otherwise? A quick Google search suggests the working environment at Masimo is quite poor, so it makes sense employees might leave.
You won't notice that it is door dash. You still order through the pizza place but the delivery is done by a door dash driver not their own driver.
Wow. I mean, I've seen tipping hyperinflation with options for 20, 25 and 30% (I've been told some have even higher defaults) rather than the previous 10, 15, 20% and I've seen it integrated at places where a clerk merely rings you up (lots of airport shops) but not when there was no interaction with any person as in the article.

That's outrageous. I think I'm going to actively decline tipping as a protest. This is "tipping usury".
It makes conceptual sense, if the third party delivery firms aren't subject to the same regulation, but I can't see them being happy with their reliability.

Some people specifically order from pizza places due to bad experiences with DoorDash and friends.
Just to follow up with this. I've had the idea knocking around of creating an online version of the RoboRally boardgame and this looks like it would fit well for that. However, if I can't model the rules on the server then anyone would be able to easily cheat.
Ah, a bunch of city dwellers telling making decisions about land they’ve never even been to, cool.
It seems like a mistake to me. Uber managed to normalize the luxury of having your food delivered at a high markup. With Silicon Valley companies tightening their belts, their competitive advantage (running ads, tons of deals, etc) will dry up, so you’d think Pizza Hut franchises could just bump the delivery fee.
Are pizza places where you are lower in fees/have free delivery? My local Domino's and Pizza Hut also have delivery fees, making Dashpass cheaper on the fees. The prices in the app are higher of course, but only by a few dollars.
> Hell if it was about creatives getting paid I’d be all for it

I wouldn’t. They already bring in plenty of money to pay creatives more. Just because they’re too greedy to pay them doesn’t justify upping the price for everyone.
Yes when accounting for size. If you wanted something that was the size of a refrigerator, you could buy a data general Nova in 1969: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_General_Nova

8KB of RAM! But hundreds of pounds vs 70lb for the AGC with fairly comparable capability (richer instructions/registers, lower initial clock rate).

The AGC was quite impressive in terms of perf/weight
Most delivery pizza service in CA is not by reataurants subject to the large fast-food chain minimum wage law, because they usually don't meet one or both of the fast-food or large chain [0] requirements.

[0] technically, “national chain”, but its a number-of-restuarants-within-the-US standard, not a breadth of geographic coverage standard.
> Love or hate the Apple arrangement, but they seem consistent on giving everyone the same terms.

Previously on hacker news: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36882467

From the article:

> Today, there are more than 2.4 million mini-programs that can be run within WeChat. If this trend continues, there will come a time when developers will concentrate on developing new useful mini-programs to run on WeChat instead of stand-alone apps which have to abide by certain rules before it becomes available on the App Store.

> If Apple cracks down on WeChat’s practices, Chinese customers will have little reason to ever buy an iPhone.

> So, if Apple wants the Chinese to continue to buy iPhones, they have to let WeChat – one of the most privacy-invasive and censorship driven apps on the planet, continue to ignore its App Store rules.

back home [uber] skirts the boundaries of the law if not outright crosses it several times and it is still available on the app store. Not that any of this excuses anything Google does but just wanted to point out that Apple most definitely does NOT give everyone the same terms.

They hadn’t yet figured out how to adapt their greed to the new streaming era.
Here's an example of a sane court ruling, with a detailed explanation for why: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-56123668 . Unfortunately US courts seem to pay too much attention to the form of of their business arrangements and not enough to the substance.
They didn't shoot themselves in the foot, by any measure. If the watches were made in the US, Apple could still be sued in federal court for patent infringement. Masimo likely just filed in the ITC because it (correctly) gave them the most leverage (a sales injunction) for the smallest possible legal cost. Apple is going to appeal, so it's still going to get sorted out in federal court in any case.
2nd ed, chap 12, Construction Techniques, is missing from the third ed. Or I'm blind, but I don't see it here.

The 750 is still based on a 27 year old chip and runs at half its clockspeed. The point was that spaceflight is relatively computationally modest.
I am already paying them.

If they decide to add advertisements after the fact, I am allowed to stop paying.

After all, they are degrading the service.
But isn’t that precisely the distinction between rotation and revolution already provides? When I first read it I thought, well they used the word revolution so clearly the answer is 1. If they had stated “rotations” then the answer is obviously 4.

It’s pretty ridiculous they couldn’t use the right word when the distinction was taught back it elementary school during the discussion of the motion of the earth.
It still works. And apparently you set one day/week and aggregate all your deliveries and they’ll still Key deliver. And my Tesla still opens my garage door just fine.

But I don’t care why they took it away. It was a great feature for me… I live in a gated community but I travel a lot, so it’s nice to have all my stuff stowed in the garage, without thinking about it.

They can’t manage Alexa, they can’t manage Key, now they’re doing ads. They’re also underwhelming on Whole Foods — selections are down, inventory is off, and they removed the Hubs. They seem off. Jassee might be ROI focused but he’s choking the customer delights. They don’t feel essential anymore.

Whatevs. Not impressed. It’s a bye for me.
Some missed parameters for the payment: The cost goes up and/or the margin goes down and/or the product gets cheaper.
Don't forget to "empty trash" afterwards, as deleted images all end up in the trash for something like 30 days. The script docs seem to neglect that point.
The argument isn't whether or not it's a bad hand, it's whether someone should play the hand they got.

Saying "the game is rigged, don't bother playing, wait until xyz happens" is, in my estimation, the issue, because it gives apathy. Poverty and whatever flavour of government benefits are constantly changing: the only way out is through themselves, as hard as it may be.

And like the sibling comment said, I'm coming exactly from this background. I've seen people both get out, and stay in, poverty. This is the only discerning factor that seperates the two.
No need for personal attacks here, I'm just answering based on my experience.
Seems like YouTube shouldn’t allow this. Like they should require creators to timestamp their sponsorship segments so they auto skip for premium subscribers. That way Google can get a cut of the pie by directing their premium subscribers eyes to other types of ads or something.
Oddly, the writer used "he" in "they determined he had Stage 2 bladder cancer" because they had already used the plural "they" in the same clause – showing that they know how confusing the singular "they" can be. Sometimes ツ
So is the argument that Bezos “owes it” to the Amazon consumer to fix this, then? Based on what?
It's that really even that bad of a thing for Apple? The appeal will go to federal court, which means at the end of the day it's just going to get sorted out by the court system more quickly.
Entertainment is also not fungible. Each show is basically a mini monopoly granted by the existence of copyright law. So anyone who wants a specific show has to follow where it goes...and what we've seen is rights holders withdrawing from a market (third party distributors) that was fairly setting the price to vertically integrate distribution and command a higher price.

There's something to be said about the idea of not allowing content companies to own distribution...
That particularly sucks because as a bike rider who sometimes likes to roleplay as a delivery rider, the one thing I cannot pick up is pizza. I would need a purpose built pizza backpack in order to reasonably deliver myself pizza, as I live in a hilly area and the panniers aren't enough.
The AGC was 2 ft³. I believe the volume was written into the contract for development of the computer, and was simply a verbal guess by the owner of the company during negotiations. On the other hand, they had been designing control systems for aircraft and missiles for over a decade at that point so it was not an entirely uninformed guess.

The amazing thing is that they did manage to make it fit into 2 ft³, even though the integrated circuits it used had not yet been invented when the contract was written.
DMCA isn't the thing allowing this, its big companies taking dmca notices at face value and just acting on them without caring.
> Apollo 11 spacecraft contains 4 computers

Analog computers don't get the respect they deserve. There's one more computer, the FCC. The Flight Control Computer is an analog computer in the Saturn V that controlled the rocket gimbals. It's a two-foot cylinder weighing almost 100 pounds.

I work in this space and z80, kermit and xmodem are not part of the solution. Just because this stuff is simple to the user doesn't mean it's the best suited, and there's a whole industry working on this since the Z80 days. You can buy space-qualified microcontroller boards/components with anything from a simple 8 bit microcontroller to a 64-bit, multicore, 1Ghz+ ARM cpu depending on the use case. I'm sure Z80 has been used in space, but in my time in the industry I've never heard of it.

Kermit and xmodem probably aren't what you want to use, they are actually a higher level than what is normally used and would require a big overhead, if they even worked at all with latencies that can reach 5-10s. Search for the keyword "CCSDS" to get hints about data protocols used in space.
> Of course, calling these "sensible defaults" is maybe a bit antagonistic, even if it wasn't meant that way, and draws too much attention to it.

It's a bit of a joke, it's intended to make you laugh like when I say to go buy an OLED screen instead of commenting out a specific line :)

But TBH it's only half a joke: I think not supporting selection with Shift and Control+Shift+Arrows may drive intermediate users away.

> I will say that the "tab" line is a super useful feature

Absolutely! Like you, I've also noticed the tabline (and the line numbers) helps when I'm showing files to other people.

Even if everything else I consider sensible defaults (rainbows! emacs/readline like chording shortcuts everywhere! selection with the arrows, shift and control!) doesn't popular, I hope the tabline with X,Y coordinates and hex position will.
>I’ve seen a study that showed that Uber drivers actually make below minimum wage after accounting for gas and wear and tear too.

There are studies that show the opposite[1] as well, although they seem to reach different conclusions depending on the costing model. The studies that show they earn below minimum wage use a pro-rata model (eg. if you drive for uber 50% of the time, and drive personally the other 50%, then 50% of your depreciation, insurance, etc. gets subtracted against your earnings). This seems reasonable, until your realize that in many parts of the US, you need a car already, so it only makes sense to factor in the marginal cost, not the pro-rata cost.

Half of this article is the author not knowing SQL. Aggregating by day or week is trivial (and doesn't require subqueries) in any database. It goes on to say "Range queries, a single data point may be aggregated into multiple groups" -- standard SQL window functions meet this criteria too.

I think the only thing somewhat novel here is interpolating for missing values.

Isn’t this basically what SpaceX is doing?

> The flight software is written in C/C++ and runs in the x86 environment. For each calculation/decision, the "flight string" compares the results from both cores. If there is a inconsistency, the string is bad and doesn't send any commands. If both cores return the same response, the string sends the command to the various microcontrollers on the rocket that control things like the engines and grid fins.

> Databricks is often managing a million-ish Spark-sub tasks for various users. They couldn't do that using traditional operating system scheduling techniques: they needed something that could scale. The obvious answer was to put all scheduling information into a database. That's exactly what the Databricks guys did: they put it all in a PostgreSQL database, and then started whining about Postgres performance," says Stonebrake.

anyone know of a talk/paper discussing this scheduling "hack" in more detail
I am not sure how it is there but here in NZ most places charge more for Uber Eats and Dash deliveries because margins are lower as these services charge both the customers and businesses.

I rather pay more knowing it goes to an employee salary than pay more and have the money go to these large corporations that try everything to pay drivers less.
True. But financial markets produce a strong incentive to consume that last 3% as fast as possible, and that's exactly the problem. It has nothing to do with individual farmers, it's a systematic problem.
From what they said it doesn't actually need to be individually produced. Rather, there are 34 possible targets, which ones are actually used depends on the patient's cancer. You aim at the targets which the tumor expresses, the others would simply cause side effects for no gain.

Thus, instead of custom manufacture your distribution system is 34 separate compounds, the patient receives whatever combination would be best for their tumor. Probably not viable at the ordinary pharmacy level, but viable at the cancer center level or a compounding pharmacy.
Sounds like setting up a torrenting system is in my future, since my beloved newsgroups are dying a slow death.

The big killer for newsgroups is indexers. Posts of content to the newsgroups have to be obsfucated to avoid near instant DMCA takedowns, which means that only a handful of indexers are given the 'keys' by the pirate release teams. That centralization makes the indexers a big target, and prevents just starting new ones quickly. To add to that, running an indexer still requires fairly decent hardware, especially with all the automated (*arr) tools that hammer APIs for searching. The ones that are left charge pretty high prices for access, especially considering they could (and have) just shut down without warning after you've paid some large yearly/lifetime fee.

It was beautiful while it lasted.

https://english.news.cn/20220902/735703a45cfd458791179d4c0a8... - 201 wars started by the USA since world war 2 finished. That's only until 2001, there are many more since. Okay that's from a China based news service (which I honestly believe far more and the incompetent and biassed USA news services).

Wikipedia suggests quite a few less: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_Uni... but still a lot.

I believe (but haven't checked) that the USA has started at least one war every year since 1945. This was true in the mid 2000s, it might not be now.

That you managed 3 (or at a push 4) versus a hundred or so is a great comparison in favour of my comment: China does NOT want a war. It's bad for business.
What is absurd is the new ability for a landlord to each morning see a list of notifications that open to the financial dossiers of those of tenants that were flagged by an overnight AI analysis as being factually insolvent, based solely upon realtime "permission based access" to those tenants personal financial accounts. The "AI model estimating a person's insolvency" is not itself evidence, but the dossiers that were flagged by the AI is direct evidence because it is composed of actual financial statements created directly by the tenants own banks, along with a credit reports showing the tenant's trade-line performance.
That sounds way too low. Modern fly-by-wire planes are said to have 12-way voting.
It's not trickery, it's a question of what the law is. If you grab a random person off the street, even simple machines like gears and pulleys may not be obvious. On the other end, you risk running into the "it's an auction but on a computer" patents just because you happen to be the first person to bother paying to patent that you could do that with a computer.

There's a difference between novel and niche in my mind. If you're working for a company that's acquired a monopoly on having enough money to do any work at all on some product, simply because there's not enough demand for it to have active competition, that doesn't seem like it should mean that everything is "novel" just because you're the only group thinking about it. Yes, in this case Apple is the much bigger company deciding to get into the business, but these patents surely would likewise hinder other companies from competing, or even doing their own research into product innovations in this area, for fear of being too close to the existing patents.

Either way, my point was about hiring people, not the patents. Going "they poached all these people so they could steal their patented knowledge" may be true, but if that company is the only company doing any amount of real innovation in that field, you'd also want to hire from them just because you want to hire the best engineers who have experience with those sensors. Even if you were trying to avoid any issue with patent and totally build a unique product, you'd still want to start with people who know the problem space vs. re-training people.
I've been saying for years that I don't want Windows or MacOS or whatever.
