Tesla sell more EVs in USA than everyone else combined, partially because they can cut prices. Is any other company even making a profit selling EVs in USA?
To me it seemed like an amplification of the parent's point: AI is poised to disrupt the reason behind a great deal of human endeavor. For music, only live performance will count. Sculpture, printmaking, painting, possibly even jewelry-making? Do it by machine, 10x the speed for 0.1x the labor, you're not the actor, the machine is the actor and you're sort of the director.
Yes. The best time to buy NVDA was 2019. The next best time is now.
Yeah, I tried that for a while, and I have some Apple generated forwarders too.

In the end in places like a store that wants you to sign-up for X% off, or something it's easier to just to give them storename@domain.com and see what happens.

It's actually pretty low friction in terms of management.

No I don't, this is realistic. You can easily experience it anytime you like. They're also on Nextdoor if you can't go to any planning meetings.

The problem is the political system is set up to only listen to these people, because urban planners are embarrassed about when they did urban renewal, and now they make up for it for every new project by delaying it until someone like this tells them to cancel it and then cancelling it.

Walkable to a grocery store. Obviously it can close, but I can't stop that from happening.

And we're not supposed to care what these people want; they have influence over their property. They don't have influence over the "neighborhood" because they're not paying for it.
Here's a good explanation: https://github.com/WebAssembly/stack-switching/blob/main/pro...
It reads like OP has been holding a grudge for a decade or so, and today decided to shit on a project he contributed way back in the past out of sheer entitlement.

Flagged because it is irrelevant to HN.

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Most DailyMail articles would fall under the latter.
Thanks! Those two threads were just a couple days apart so I've belatedly merged them, yielding:

It’s not that bugs shouldn’t be fixed it’s that they should be fixed intentionally, and with awareness of what the fix might break so you can make it backwards compatible if necessary.
A large fraction of that workforce was enslaved, and it's not accidental that the terminology has descended into engine jargon, like master & slave cylinders, clocks, drives, etc. We have replaced the fleshy engines of the ancients with inorganic ones to the general benefit. I hope that's a good portent for the replacement of us fleshy knowledge engines by AI.
It's not about speed in terms of absolute cumulative time. It's about the interleaving, the user experience of latency, and the effect that has on our cognition.

A few ms of noticeable latency here and there, a few hundred ms freeze every once in a while, it's maybe an extra minute per day in clock time. If it was just a 1 minute startup penalty, that would be different. But this 60,000 ms is split up throughout the working day into hundreds of small pauses, making the system feel laggy and unpredictable. If you're lucky, it's merely a subconscious drag on your attention. If you're unlucky it will, have you constantly breaking concentration to wonder "is my editor frozen? Oh wait, never mind." Hundreds of times a day.

Now contrast that to a text editor with literally zero instances of noticeable lag. It's not that it has zero latency, it's that the I/O latency on modern hardware is faster than our fingers and eyes can work. So we don't experience it.

Hundreds of noticeable pauses versus zero pauses. Once you cross the threshold below which our fingers type and brain can read, you're lag free. Getting a faster text editor doesn't just slightly improve the lagginess, it completely solves it.
I have exactly the same workflow: VSCode when I want a specific extension and Sublime as a fallback.

I think a lot of people don’t notice the difference but I can’t un-notice it.

Huge generated files and whatnot, VSCode just spins but Sublime opens them instantly.

Not to knock VSCode: it’s amazing what they’ve done especially comparing it to other web-stack apps (like what is Slack doing that it’s slower than VSCode with 6 extensions running?!).

Even when things are running smoothly, the just-perceptible delay in switching files or a slight stutter scrolling feels like the digital equivalent of working with a cheap tool.

The cheap ratchet is a little sloppy and occasionally the pawl doesn’t catch but it still does all the same stuff. Yet Snap-On still has customers.
Human nature is hard to avoid.
Makes sense, unfortunately. This is why we can't have nice tech/car things. It's barking up entirely the wrong tree and going after the wrong people for anticapitalist hactivism, but it would make sense to be a target of foreign state actors, financially-motivated criminals, and terroristic-adjacent chaos agents.

I'm curious when a TED talk-launched, standardized, open source, long-term sustainable, r2r, internationally-homologated, relatively long-range passenger EV will happen.

It's better to have this handled as a civil trial with fines IMO. A court can decide the value of these embryos and figure out some kind of restitution. Making this a criminal matter creates all kinds of weird precedence.
It's not so much most regular people would do rideshare that much. It's more that every new Tesla sold after L4 was achieved would be bought by small biz folks, Uber, etc. specifically to use for rideshare and would pay a premium for both the car and for FSD software.
> Seattle allows single stair buildings.

I know. Nobody else does though.

They still have enough other changes that we can't build something like a cavernous old NYC apartment, though I don't remember the other issues. I think it might be related to nobody wanting to build condos because they'll get sued for it.
It's fun to argue what-if's, up to a point. But I see a couple of factual problems:

1. JS via asm.js paved the way for WebAssembly, and asm.js (https://asmjs.org/) like Wasm is statically typed. Scheme is dynamic. So there would have to be an asm.scm or similar evolutionary path, in order to get to something like Wasm even if in addition to Scheme rather than JS, for the needed win.

Polymorphic inline caching etc. is not enough to compete with native, e.g., to run Unreal Engine 5:

https://x.com/spatialweeb/status/1757581115609817236

Static typing matters beyond raw CPU perf, in order to prove memory safety with definite allocation -- no touching the GC or 30fps gameplay falls over.

2. Wasm is binary, and this matters too: while transport compression helps JS on the wire, or under the alternative, would help Scheme on the wire, the memory cost (plus CPU of LZ) blowing out the compressed payload into source form for parsing is too much for mobile, or for any head to head competition with the likes of PNaCl (which ~2012 era Google was flogging in vain -- no way it would get into Safari or other browsers).

Yes, binary syntaxes for Lisps exist, but it's not the case that everything can be done "with just lisp".

Please use factual yardsticks and apples-to-apples even for counterfactuals that would have to survive in the same ecosystem.
FLW is my favorite architect, ever since I first saw Fallingwater as a kid. Back in 2016, I was in the market and found an incredible albeit somewhat run down home built by one of his understudies. The sellers had it built in 1970, and it hit a lot of familiar notes: long, rectangular, vaguely Japanese aesthetic nestled into a niche in a ravine that overlooked 6 acres of fairly unspoiled nature, angled just right to let light scoop down to all three levels, which of course were 100% glass on two sides and a good portion of the other two. It also leaked like a sieve, drafts coming in around all the panes, the ceiling, and had moisture everywhere. It didn’t have AC, and the owners admitted they couldn’t afford to go on heating the place despite it breaking their heart to leave it. At the end of the day, it would have prohibitively expensive to fix up, try to combat the heating and cooling issue, and I feared would require so many changes to the aesthetic of the house that it just wouldn’t be the same. On top of that, it had an almost non-existent kitchen (I read somewhere that is common in Wright design philosophy, which his student clearly took to heart with this house), and bathrooms awkwardly built into the central support columns that felt more like dungeon pits my partner and I would guarantee slipping and falling in… but I digress.

Anyways, I think about that house a bunch. So many incredible, charming homes that are becoming impractical, if they weren’t right off the drawing board but where past energy costs were low enough they could make the dream work. The house I ended up buying is from 1951 with much more traditional construction, but we’ve still been putting an assload of money (for us, at least) into making it more sustainable and comfortable… but it still just isn’t there yet. Yet I am loathe to just start knocking stuff down.
A heterosexual relationship with another person does not preclude the one GP is talking about from being homosexual.

Greeks themselves didn't really think about it in these terms, anyway. It was completely normal, and in some social contexts even expected, for a man to have sex with another man, and then go on to marry and have children.
These are interesting ideas for creative illustration, but I don't agree with the title that this is a guide for beginners. If you've never done a presentation before, the most fundamental graphic design principle to keep in mind (long before you might start thinking about Photoshop plugins!) is consistency.

I think that the first thing I would recommend for a beginner is to set the basic layout, typeface and background/foreground colours to something tasteful, perhaps also distinctive or using corporate colours if appropriate. These options will be under something like 'Styles' or 'Master Slide View' depending on the presentation software.

Sometimes, it can feel to me like a presentation flits between styles, as if it has been assembled by copying-and-pasting slides piecemeal from other talks. Starting by setting the default style, however, keeps a thread of visual consistency there while you experiment. After that, you can add logos that look like embroidery, glitch effects and what have you, but it will look much less chaotic than the result of creating the special effects first. It will truthfully be decoration, because you've already got a solid visual foundation to build upon.

If you'll excuse the vanity, following are the slides for a couple of my own presentations which I'm rather proud of :)

Make them with what GUI library?

GPUI is not mature yet, so I wouldn’t use it for anything serious, and Qt bindings support is not great.
The first paragraph mentions a linear time graph colouring algorithm. In fact further on they explain that a simple greedy algorithm that goes through the tasks in order of starting time will work. It's fairly easy to prove it does.

Maybe finding the optimal planning given some dependency is harder (though it isn't if you only have some simple requirements), but this is about visualising a Gantt chart, not calculating one.
Khan Academy's AI tutor Khanmigo struggles with basic math
>Why is this so important to you that it’s worth being pedantic?

Because words have meanings, and playing fast and loose with words for dramatic effect cheapens it. Next time a someone is accused of taking a "bribe", do we know it's actual corruption, or someone expressing displeasure about the transaction?
I would encourage anyone about to make a blithe comment about embryos being people to consider how they would feel about criminal charges against someone who murders a pregnant woman.

I'd also recommend everyone read this sentence:

>]he Wrongful Death of a Minor Act is sweeping and unqualified. It applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation. It is not the role of this Court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy. That is especially true where, as here, the People of this State have adopted a Constitutional amendment directly aimed at stopping courts from excluding ‘unborn life’ from legal protection.”

Most IVF embryos fail ("die" in this framing). What's the bright line between good faith health care and "you killed my baby"? "Death" is pervasive in this world. If you really believe in wrongful death here, why enter the treatment to begin with knowing how many are likely to be lost?

I just don't see how you square this at all.
> a huge number of people are starting to nominate LLMs as those "authority figures"

When LLMs started to go mainstream I said I was not afraid of AI, but was afraid of (unwise) people with AI. This phenomenon is what I foresaw.

The worst thinkers are the ones most hungry to outsource their decision making.

The fact that LLM output requires good judgement by the recipient to filter the wheat from the chaff, and those with poor judgement skills are most likely to lean on decision tools makes for a potentially volatile situation.
I tried this, but the thing I didn't like about it was that it ties you into Fastmail. I like using a custom domain so it's relatively easy to change your email provider, but masked emails are in the format xxx.xxx@fastmail.com so you'd need to revisit all of those accounts if you want to change your email provider to someone else. I'm currently trying using a catch-all with servicename@mydomain.com, and will be interested to see how much extra spam comes in through the catch-all.
I can’t get over how smooth and satisfying it is, not to mention how fun the game itself is! Very well built, I really enjoyed playing it!

The MOST unfortunate thing about slide presentations is that in many contexts (particularly academic talks, and investor pitches, among other things) is that people ask for your slides before or after the talk, as a substitute for listening during the talk.

The best talks are those where the slides supplement the talk and provide visuals for the talk, and aren't trying to BE the talk. But these people above often ask for slides because they don't plan on listening but do still plan on judging you based on your talk that they didn't listen to, so you're forced to slap every piece of information on them.

(I'm guilty of this too; many times I plan on attending an interesting virtual talk in my company but I get a meeting scheduled at the same time, so the best I can do is to open both the talk and the meeting at the same time, mute the audio on the talk and screenshot every slide of the talk while nodding in the meeting.)

For this reason, good slides work for motivational and TED Talk speakers where you have undivided attention, but they don't work well in real business because people plan to not listen during the talk.
Majority of WP sites are definitely not e-commerce. There are about 160M active domains and WP is estimated to run on 40% of the web. That's a whooping 60M+ web sites. I doubt more than 10M of them are e-commerce ones.

Apparently frozen embryos have a "better than 95% chance of surviving the thawing process" -- or looking at it the other way, they have up to a 5% chance of dying [1] -- before we even consider whether they are successfully implanted. If we accept the premise that they are human beings, would we tolerate any other action parents might electively take that put their child at a 1 in 20 chance of dying?

And that doesn't count the fact that eggs/embryos are screened before freezing, and less viable, or just genetically inferior (e.g. if the egg has inherited one of the parents' genetic disorder) eggs are discarding even before freezing.

And then there's the chance that an implanted embryo survives to birth. That's apparently about 40% -- and amazingly, worse among non-frozen embryos. So there's a better-than-50:50 chance you're killing a "human being" by engaging in in-vitro fertilization at all. [2]

> However, the idea is that often a lot of the probability mass - an amount that is not small - will be concentrated around the maximum likelihood estimate, and so that's why it makes a good estimate, and worth using.

This is a Bayesian point of view. The other answers are more frequentist, pointing out that likelihood at a parameter theta is NOT the probability of theta being the true parameter (given data). So we can't and don't interpret it like a probability.

Market analysis under US antitrust law doesn't work that way. You don't just get to choose an arbitrarily narrow market such that a single competitor by definition owns 100% of it, otherwise plaintiffs would basically never lose in court. Market analysis is done by examining actual consumer behaviors, and in general, markets comprised of a single competitor are not permitted by the courts in antitrust cases (unless specific exceptions are met).
