The host’s knowledge does contribute to the 2/3, because that knowledge prevents an outcome from occurring. Let us consider the switching strategy and instead say selecting the correct door awards 6 points. Our question: what is the expected value of this strategy when the host knows, vs when the host doesn’t know.

Consider the scenario where the player’s first choice is the winner. This happens 1/3 of the time, and the host’s knowledge doesn’t change their behavior. With the switching strategy, the player always loses in this case, so the contribution of this scenario towards the expected value for either case(host knowing vs not) is 0.

Consider the other scenario where the player’s first selection does not contain the car, and note that this situation happens 2/3 of the time. For convenience, label the player’s selected door 1, and the car containing door 2.

If we assume the host has knowledge, then the host will select door 3. If the player decides to stay, they lose. In this scenario, the switch strategy always wins, so its contribution towards the expected value when the host knows is (2/3 * 6) = 4.

If we assume the host doesn’t have knowledge, he will pick either door 2 or 3 with equal probability. In the event he selects door 2, the winning door, so half the time, the player loses because they can’t switch. This occurs half of the time within this scenario, so this sub
-scenario contributes 0 points to our expected value. If the host selects door three, then the switch strategy wins, meaning this sub-scenario contributes (2/3 * 1/2 * 6) = 3 points to our overall expected value.

When the host has knowledge, the scenario where the player loses because of the host selection will not occur, leading to the 2/3-probability. Without the host having this knowledge, our event space changes and the player switch strategy only has a 1/2 chance of winning.

I'm central Ohio and only heard of pawpaw fruit a couple times as a tiny child. Totally forgot they existed. Most of Dad's foraging was a different season (morels). How would one go about trying to find (relatively) local to try pawpaw when they're in season?
What Elon is pointing out, in his own, unconventional way, is that this is not a game, and bringing in 30 million low skilled minimum wage earners (3+M in 2023 alone) of unknowable backgrounds is not conducive to national security or solvency. But your politics make you blind to that fact. Maybe the problem isn’t Elon in this case, wdyt?

There are very few businesses which can add 1+ Trillion to a companies market cap. To grow at pace with the S&P, Apple needs to find a new 1 Trillion dollar business every 2-3 years.

Cars were a good candidate, but it sounds like AAPL now thinks that GenAI is a better bet. ChatGPT is such a basic product, that it sounds reasonable that there will be bigger and better products in the future.
Ask HN: At what stage did your company move from 3rd party to internal software?
I work in senior IT leadership for a rapidly growing company (100MM -> 2B through M&A) and I'm curious about the experiences of different companies when it comes to the decision-making process behind developing internal tools versus relying on 3rd party apps/SaaS providers. There seems to be a pivotal moment for many businesses where the scales tip in favor of custom development, but I imagine this varies widely based on industry, company size, growth phase, and specific business needs.

When we had 500 users, a simple SaaS solution for $5 a user made sense, now that we're at almost 6000 it seems ludicrous for us to be spending $15k a month (after the 50% 'enterprise' discount) for software that that could be internally developed and maintained for a fraction of that cost over the products lifecycle.

no services remain "good" so why ask the question. it gets ignored or answered but then a decade or two down the line the philosophy gets scrapped, a story as old as time.
I think they should introduce request rate limits per IP/domain, for example max 1 parallel request. In this case there will be no significant load, but the data can be scraped.

Scraping is important for example, to monitor competitors' prices to see the opportunity to raise your own prices.

And let's not forget that Google does a lot more scraping than anyone else and has ridiculous profits from it.
A startup that specializes in tearing down failed startups could tear itself down when they are no longer needed.

I have a simpler theory. The apparent speed of the passage of time is inversely proportion the number of memories being accumulated.

I don't remember what it was like to be a toddler. All I can tell you is "they are sponges" is a common description. It blows me away they can learn how to recognise faces, walk, speak a language in the space of a few years.

As a kid I recall getting bored very easily. I needed a constant stream of stimulation to feed my brain.

As a young adult I recall a friend asking me to look up a telephone book to find the a persons address. I got back to the car and told them the address. "Oh", they said "I must have the spelling wrong, try ...". No problem, I remembered every name and address on the page I've just seen.

But as I grew older, remembering stuff came less easily. Now at over 60, if I put in a situation where I'm forced to remember a while pile of new stuff I feel distinctly uncomfortable, whereas before I was better at it than most.

And during all that time, the passage of time has sped up. Ergo, my theory is I gauge the amount of time that has passed between events X and Y by the number of memories accumulated in the period.
The headline is quite sensationalist… but it is the headline used by the source.

I like the Aeron. A corollary of what I wrote is that if you just sit in it for a few seconds or minutes at a store, it doesn't feel special. If you work at a decently sized company or have access to a coworking space, you can likely find an Aeron somewhere.
It would be more interesting to see a headline like that

I'm not interested in voice assistants because they suck at the moment.

Currently using https://www.waveapps.com/ for free invoicing.

However Wave doesn't have a way to CC invoices. This caused a lot of confusion when multiple people wanted to receive the invoice, but only one person was supposed to process it. (The invoices were sent to each recipient individually, so they couldn't see it was sent to other people, too)

Right now, I just send the invoice to person A with a copy to myself.
Then manually "CC" person B, letting them know the invoice was sent to person A.

Does Contra support CC'ing invoices?

(Also Wave doesn't support canceling invoices, which Contra seems to support.)
Huh, odd. I was under the impression that for swept/delta winged paper airplanes one wants a smooth top surface to encourage attachment and any steps on the bottom to provide decalage. (I.e. the area ahead of the step acts as a canard-like surface.)

Is this an airfoil that works for tailed aircraft but not tailless ones, perhaps?

Edit: I just skimmed the book on paper planes by KF and indeed they are using the variation with the step on the bottom for their paper planes.

I'm actually even more surprised now. How on Earth did they manage to patent the idea of reflex on a delta wing to give a tailless plane stability? This seems like the thing that (a) was known since early human-carrying gliders, and (b) implicitly discovered by anyone that folds a lot of paper airplanes. I will definitely read their book in more detail.

hmm, that's an interesting question, I don't know the answer to be honest. are you able to run external scripts on the device? if so, you might be able to install & run ingestr with a CSV destination (which I released literally 2 mins ago), but that seems like a lot of work as well, and will probably be way slower than your C++ application.

Maybe someone else has another idea?
Absolutely. We had a whole carrier suitability team full of people who lived and breathed this stuff. It was just my responsibility to make sure the aircraft instrumentation system got them the data they needed, at a high enough quality, to empower their analyses and decision making process.
It's not weird, it's just an example of how the modern society treat anything with sufficient scale as public resources just by scale and reach, and how little it cares about private corporate rights.

You run the water to a town and the town now owns it. If it didn't, the town regulates it to the point you're essentially owned by the town, and the result is the same.
Except that negative pressure is not a thing. Air molecules are not grabbing the wings and pulling them up - they are just not pushing down on the top as much as the ones underneath are pushing upwards.

It makes me sad some subset of Congress decided this didn't need solving suddenly, for no apparent reason.
> Subsidies likely won’t be enough; Mr. Biden will need to impose new trade restrictions. But here’s where it gets messy. The case for protecting the American auto market from Chinese E.V.s is obvious and politically essential but also highly troublesome. In the short term, American automakers — even the homegrown electric-only carmakers like Tesla and Rivian — must be shielded from a wave of cheap cars.

It will be interesting to see how Dems and Repubs react to this. Centrist Dems have opposed trade restrictions, whereas the Bernie wing of the party has favored them. But all Dems are in favor of green technologies. How will they justify excluding/heavily taxing foreign EVs that are good for the environment?

On the Republican side, the centrists disfavor trade restrictions, but there's also a wing that is perfectly fine with them. In general Republicans do not favor green subsidies as much as Democrats.

I would guess that investing in Ford or GM stock right now is as much a wager on their ability to lobby as much as their ability to make quality vehicles.

Welcome to History Revisionism.

Literally EVERY single example you listed were markets that already existed before Apple entered them (except maybe the Mac but that was so long ago who cares). MP3 players existed before the iPod. Smartphones existed before the iPhone. Wireless earbuds existed before Airpods. Tablets existed before the iPad. Smartwatches existed before the Apple Watch. VR goggles existed before Vision. Smartrings existed before the Apple Ring (just wait, its coming).

Their skill isn't in being a first mover. Their skill is being a second, or even last, mover into a space that has untapped potential, and unlocking that potential (for both their benefit and competitors).
We're revamping our docs this year; you can often express what you need in in JSON if it's not elegant in the Caddyfile.

> Also, the issue of getting boosters to all of these destinations seems like a problem. Planes don't split in two and have half return to the launch site but Starships do. So you could land the upper stage in Tokyo, but then what? How do you get a booster there for the return journey?

IIRC, the suborbital point-to-point transport use case doesn’t use the booster (SuperHeavy), just Starship.

I’m in Philly and about 20 years ago I sat next to an old man at a dinner for something. Neither of us wanted to be there. We talked, found out we both did tech things. I asked him what he worked on and he said “well back in the day I helped build ENIAC.” I was blown away. Had a great talk.
I don’t know if it’s significant but on the carrier the arresting system is going 25-30 mph. The ship is moving.

Again, maybe not enough to really matter, but enough to at least take into consideration.
There used to be a good one from NASA, written for K-12 but 100% adhering to actual science not "lies for children".

Have you read the headlines about how difficult and expensive it is to procure NVIDIA GPUs?

Apple has an enormous hardware advantage over Google, Microsoft, and even OpenAI in the space if the constraint is hardware. If software ends up being the "easy part" and hardware remains difficult, Apple is in a great spot between the volume of hardware they're already moving and their cash reserves.
This is just physically banning them from parliament buildings, which seems pointless. I don't think modern lobbyists work by literally waiting in the lobby anymore.

I'm frequently surprised, given Amazon's size, how little of a non-US presence it has. It's in other countries, sure, but not in the same way as the US. Seeing things like this makes me wonder if Amazon doesn't know how to adapt to other markets.

> can you remember any cases where the person with "common sense" thought "this crap ain't gonna work" but it worked anyway

I have one! Totally different field though. Cruise ships (and roro ferries) look sooo ungainly in water that regular people frequently ask how do they not just roll over. The Icon of the Seas goes 9 meter underwater and 20 stories over the water. It does not feel or look right. Yet it is right, and keeps upright :), because it does not have uniform density. The engines and machinery, and tanks at the bottom of it keeps the center of gravity low enough to make it stable.

The funny twist is that vehicle carrier ships also look unstable the same way and there the intuition is more correct. There have been multiple accidents where such ships capsized. But the intuition there is still not correct about the reasons why they flip over. (It is not that they don’t have enough draft, but due to free surface effects and the cargo destabilising).
Thank you for the inspiration. I'll start journaling again. And I miss it too.
> I wonder if in 20 years something from apples car project changes the industry in a way we never expected. Time will only tell.

I hope so. That would be a great result, even if the consumer product didn’t land. That said, I would argue that sometimes you do just have to call something and move on. You’re right that Apple is one of the few places that can do research for research sake, but this wasn’t a research project. By all accounts this had a real goal of making and manufacturing a car.

It appears this project was in the works for more than a decade, had numerous stops and starts, leadership and focus changes and if your goal isn’t just research for the sake of research (which I do actually think is demonstrably different from Bell Labs or Xerox Parc which are more akin to things like Microsoft Research and Google X and the like), you need to ship at some point.

I think giving ten years to something like this is definitely a gift and I hope we see fruits from some of the work that went into it other places. But at the same time, there are other moonshots you can try if one doesn’t work out and there is arguably a cost if you keep focused on one idea that isn’t going to pan out for too long. Ten years for a project like this seems like a fair amount of time to try and a fair time to pull the plug.
I didn’t notice it until I got a motorcycle and started riding, because there’s very little between you and the environment and you’re moving so fast you can definitely feel the cooler and hotter parts of a city.
