This is all true, but it's also not really germane to the point I was making. I didn't include anything to account for the fact that as people get older, they also tend to be able to save more towards their accumulated wealth, which would amplify the disparity between younger and older generations even more. As you note I ignored real-estate assets, which again you would expect older generations to own and own more of relative to their younger cohorts. One could also quibble about my decision to use 4% and 7% as the example ROI numbers.

But I would point out that given that I did ignore a number of factors that should skew the wealth distribution even more towards the older generations, one could argue the fact that the numbers played out as close as they did to just a basic simple 4% annual to retirement and 4% down in retirement calculation means that younger generations are actually doing better now than they should be doing. Of course we would need to look at where the wealth we expect the older generations to have has gone to say for certain but in either case, the original quoted numbers don't seem nearly as terrible as they appear at first read.

How We Supercharged Our Agency Site with Astro JS
You're in the write direction but I think you don't have the right words to describe what you're trying to describe. I made a sister comment, but if I correctly understand you, then it would be more accurate to say that the averaged statistic removes important variables for making accurate conclusions. We need not look at your mother, but we can consider different environments. I think most of us would say it would be silly to compare accidents on the highway to accidents to those in an urban street, but an "average by mile" is doing precisely this. We'd call this "marginalization" and it is why you should be suspicious when anyone discusses averages (or medians!). (On that note, the median and average are always within one standard deviation of another. It's useful because if you have both and they are far apart you know there's a lot of variance). I hope I accurately understood you and can help make a clearer message.
If GP's mother switches from driving for herself to having Waymo drive for her, her risk of injury will increase. Therefore, if her goal is to avoid injury, it would be counterproductive for her to make that switch. That conclusion does not require any is-ought fallacy.

If I were to hazard a guess, it would be that the species line is somewhat subjective. If you slide broader than today’s definition then we had a lot of human genocide in our collective past. If you slide narrower than today’s definition then we could end up with a lot of human genocide (by today’s definition) in our collective future. Anything to do with genocide is rather scary.
Maybe in theory, but then you have a bigger social/psychological/economic problem because these populations are necessarily the ones that are going to be compatible with the business model for autonomous cars.

And if you get a bigger proportion of “good drivers” in autonomous cars than there is in the overall population, you're on fact increasing the overall number of accidents.

Wikipedia has some more information about this moon I've not previously heard of. The moon itself is composed largely of water ice and the liquid part is 15-20km under the surface. Mimas is responsible for the gap between Saturns widest rings and as you expect is splattered with craters, the largest of which is nearly 1/3 diameter of the whole moon. Looks like a disguised (or dilapidated!) Death Star.
The appointment of Carrie Lam was a mistake and I have no idea why the CCP did it. If the original claim is that CCP/Xi was irrational for appointing somebody who had a past record in somehow inciting mass protests (she was responsible for the reform bills in 2014 that sparked protests on similar scale), then yea sure I'll take that.

What I was responding to was the claim that "Xi ham-fistedly forced through a badly-written security law". This really isn't the case, and if your argument is that "well, everything done by the government is attributed to Xi personally, I rest my case.", I guess you're right then. Whatever you please.

I am a cyclist myself, and let me tell you... cyclists are the fucking worst. Many of them drive so recklessly, like going full-speed through an intersection while their traffic light is red. There is just no way in many cases for a car driver to avoid hitting such idiots, no matter how much attention they pay. Neither cars nor bicycles can just stop on a whim, they need a couple meters to do so.

Maybe not, but you are clearly coming from an anti-anti-autonomous vehicle stance. That likely plays into why you are downplaying this collision despite admitting "we don't know" basic details about what happened here. You are able to recognize that this issue is politicized, but like everyone you are considering your own political bias as the neutral position when in actuality the neutral position here is to wait until we have more details on what actually happened.

Yup. When it was released, IE6 was the thing. It was fast and worked very well. Speaking of bronze age, people forget how slow js was then. I remember writing server code that generated js code of pre-populated arrays to push down to the client to use for interactivity. Sending json and populating on the client was slow enough I could count in my head while watching the screen. Array look ups though were fast enough.

I fell in love with 3D Studio in the 90's. It was so intuitive to use compared to Lightwave3D for someone who didn't know what they were doing, but very curious and wanting to learn. A big challenge was getting it to run in windows 3.1 when that was released, but it did. Ah, and having to create a RAM drive to put the video into so you could actually watch it in real time without buffering at 320x200 (i386 days).

This is the same type of math that Tesla uses to suggest that their Autopilot is safer than humans, but the problem with this approach is that not all miles driven are equal. I guarantee that the injury rate per mile is much higher on the road in which this collision took place than the 0.015 national average. There are obviously roads in which collisions with cyclists are incredibly rare like interstate highways in which a cyclist even using the road is rare. That means there needs to be roads which greatly exceed the national average and those are often city streets with heavy cyclist traffic like this one where the collision occurred.

Tell HN: X's list of Developers in Taiwan
Guns and what they fire really haven’t changed since the First World War, not fundamentally at least. There’s incremental improvements in design and materials and manufacturing process but it’s a fundamentally mature technology. This gives them relatively low profit margins which makes them unappealing for privatized defense companies with shareholders to please.

Now the classic way to charge the government more money for the same old gun is to say there’s other benefits like nebulous “performance” and “efficiency” improvements. This also has the added benefit when your deliveries “show promise” but display at best marginal improvements, you can sell carry-on contracts, sometimes for a decade or longer!

So to bring this all back around, the author is correct that it won’t work. Enterprising defense contractors may one day attempt to replace factories to roll and stamp and mass-produce bulk firepower with bespoke 3D printable, multifunctional, agile, just-in-time shell production solutions. But if they do it’ll produce a lot more shareholder value than actual product.

All available evidence seems to suggest that Russia has no intentions of taking the land bridge and calling it a day. They’re vocally aiming to take the whole of Ukraine. They may be trying to wait out western support but it feels shaky. Perhaps with a trump presidency.

Ukraine’s increasing ability to hit deep targets suggests to me this strategy of Russia’s will not work. The offensive pace is too slow for the immense economic costs.

To be specific on the garden leave: "[run to the truck] for some nails" is easy to formulate yet takes effort to do. The majority of the effort for most coding tasks is the formulation, and by the time you've explained to the lame duck how to do what needs to be done, and checked that they actually did it, it would've been easier to have done it yourself.

No, it sucks chunks. But the reasoning here is still bad.
A few lines of comment can make the trick
In no possible future would we see an immediate change from human drivers to 100% self-driving, so self-driving ought to co-exist with human drivers, both the better than average, and the drunk ones.

I’m absolutely not convinced that an AI would fair better at handling a drunk driver’s driving style compared to a competent human. The statistics help AI due to them being good at handling monotony, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to safety in complex situations.
That is exactly my point. The law is the differentiator: the 13th amendment sets apart forced labor for punishment of a crime.

How? There will be multiple decades of self-driving — human driver co-existence. I’m not convinced that this phase would be safer than the human-only one, as AI might very well handle bad human drivers much worse (as it is an edge case).

That's a US perspective you have a car-first culture. If you have a bike first infrastructure you wouldn't talk like that. Here Bikes and cars are often even on different roads, where they need to cross, it's made very clear how that will work (traffic lights, clear lanes).

> In the past, many archaeologists interpreted these batons as a noisemaker or ritual object, a sort of ice age magic wand or scepter. “Ritualism was something they used to ascribe everything to,” says Wei Chu, an archaeologist at Leiden University.

This is encouraging. Surely many of the artifacts we've found had some functional purpose. Ritualism as a default seems like a cop out in many cases. If we don't know, "we don't know" suffices
> This brings me to a recent discovery I made, another approach to dealing with failure that completely blew my mind . It's commonly known under the name durable execution, and is so new that most developers never have heard of it.

Some feedback: this paragraph lands like a Reddit post from a teenager, who just took a big drag off a joint, and thinks they've invented a new field of science. (And also hasn't completed it so isn't ready to share it yet!)

Of course, everything's already been thought of. What you've described so far as durable computing sounds indistinguishable from event sourcing.

The code snippet is intriguing, though. We're abstracting event sourcing away from the developer---it happens automatically for every non-purely-functional operation---so the programmer can just write normal code.

Though, you'd have a lot of events, and I'd wonder about performance and scalability for larger apps.

Also, assuming events are at the finest level of granularity, I also imagine this starts to look like the equivalent of some kind of intermittent heap dump.

Played a little with Forth back at the time. Even wrote a simple interpreter. Thought it was a great language.

However I quickly realised why it was callled a WOL (write-only language - was a pun on RAM / ROM acronyms), as it was hard to understand my own code sometimes only days later.

Never looked back. Actually i did look back, at the beauty of the language, but never been tempted to actually use it.

No average person fact-checks context. You did not answer my question; did you trust these community notes before? Do you know how many were false without you realizing? Especially if you agreed with them?

People could continually fact check tweets without false notes masquerading as “context”, that is why I said Twitter could just use the same algorithm for sorting replies in the first place.

Community notes are not more trustworthy than tweets, but they are painted to be. This makes them a valuable target for misinformation campaigns.
