> they were all making fun of the state of self-driving cars, ah, stupid industry, will never work, whatever.

As Sinclair said, "it is difficult to get a man to understand something on which his salary depends on him not understanding."

The road to self driving cars is a capital intensive and entrenched in regulatory quagmire. Those two things are enough to keep VCs away.

But if you think about it, every trip that someone takes in a self-driving vehicle is a trip that they didn't take their own car or a taxi. Most trips are not complex, and most problems are with other human drivers. As the market grows the difficulty of the problem domain will shrink. If you can reach critical mass, infrastructure can be adjusted to specialize for self-driving cars.

That said, the illusion of self driving cars is that you can provide mass transit at affordable prices using existing infrastructure and specialized hubs/depots/fuel/roads for the vehicles. But we already have that, they're called busses. But busses are for poor people, so we don't invest in them.
I am sure smoke alarms make a big difference and people not smoking. Circuit breakers instead of fuses. Plus all the for fire exits and fire doors in apartment blocks.

3 day work weeks are best.

Most well paid developers would gladly take a 20% reduction in income for 50% more weekend right? So 4 days it is!

Well why stop there? I’ll take another 25% reduction for 33% more weekend. So 3 days it is!

But only the rich or a fool would then take an additional 33% reduction for a measly 25% bump to your weekend.

3 day work weeks are best. QED
One of my favorite leadership/parenting/management lessons is his Green & Clean story [0]. A great demonstration/example of some of the 7 Habits principles.

We're trying something similar with our kids (though still learning how to implement it as well as he explained!) and they seem to like it, I think because it shows we trust them and we give them some freedom, and we're also ready to help them if they'd like that. There's a lot less bossing around happening.

The three things I really dislike about starlink are:

The damn SPX connector

The requirement that you use their terrible pole mount (I challenge you to design a satellite dish that is incompatible with poles)

Their customer service setup.

I can’t imagine living in a spaceship designed by these bozos. They really need to think through basic reliability and repairability for stuff that customers need to touch.

My learning hack is probably specific to me and maybe wouldn’t be helpful to others but it is to time my study so it happens just after sleeping when I first wake up, straight after exercise, and just before bed time.
I find first thing in the morning I am more alert and this is the easiest time for me to learn new concepts and ideas.
After exercise is a good time for me to do revision or work on assignments as my body is more physically exhausted so I’m less restless and fidgety.
And then just before bedtime I often work on assignments, or do revision for things such as exams. I find if I sleep after studying I can often find myself dreaming about the content which seems to help me remember things. This seems to be especially effective for me before exams because the exam stress usually means I keep repetitively thinking about concepts on a loop, even in my sleep. I have a tendency to do more lucid dreaming when I’m stressed for exams, and I choose to lucid dream about my study stuff.
It's more complicated than that.

1) From a regulation standpoint, it's in Apple's interest for PWA's to exist; Apple has used the argument in court that PWA's are a viable alternative to it's App Store and therefore it does not have a monopoly on iOS "apps".

2) From a financial standpoint, it's in Apple's interest for the PWA experience to be sub-par.

And this is how we got here.
Show HN: A tool built for simple need is helping 1k+ users find their hiddn gems
Over the last few years, I got really frustrated with more and more content I saved. I had 3k bookmarks, 500+ on Twitter / X, 800+ on LinkedIn and I was never opening any of them again.

My default go-to search engine Google still relied on page rank-based results filled with SEO content and ads. I spoke with 50+ users about how they use search, social media, their bookmarks, etc. Insights I learned from this led me to build a simple tool Stacks.

It is a search co-pilot tool that provides recommendations using the knowledge that is left hidden and forgotten in bookmarks, research notes, newsletters, and knowledge repositories across the platforms.

How is an oil change every 3 months stupid? Every 3000 miles I get a change, and I had to commute a minimum of 70 miles a day. Comes out to 42 days per milestone, or 8-9 weeks if only counting weekdays. I felt like I always put it off and the math checks out.

My driving went way down during the pandemic, but it's probably a better normal metric to measure my routine before a global anamloly.

>600 a year on car washes?

I was being very generous there to prove a point. I don't do a car wash monthly and I don't get the highest tier of car wash either.

Even the "stupidest" spending on my car for daily travel and I don't come within a stone's throw of justifying taxis, financially speaking save on.
This was my thought as well. I wonder if the author couldn’t achieve similar friction without charging. Require a card for signup but only authorize it in the case of “free tier” users. PayPal will let me do that for free, not sure about Stripe.
You file it and the IRS sends you a piece of mail that asks you to deal with it.

I recently did it for a 13 yo company missing many years of taxes and it wasn't a huge deal.

Regardless of how far we've come with game engines and dev kits, RAD tools, open-source engines which deal in 2D/3D, sound and music creation frameworks etc etc, I can't help but admire the hell out of the people who can actually sit down and get something done properly and even go further to tutorialise it.

I've sat through a few game development tutorials - mostly Unity and Godot ones, because one day I'd love to create the game which puts the Monkey Island series to shame.

Upon witnessing how much work it is to actually get something to happen in a single scene, to get things to behave in a non-broken way using one of these engines, I'm not sure I'll ever have the patience to get there. I don't imagine having much of a problem coding the game logic (character says "Yes" door unlocks and becomes interactable etc) but having everything from the art style, scenes, sprites, and applying it all in a non-sucky, tasteful way? That's high art.

And yet game devs are inexplicably being fired like there's no tomorrow. No justice, I say. None whatsoever.

You conveniently left out "I think" in the first quote yet speak about subtle differences in phrasing. Please practice what you preach. I stated that I believe Apple's controls have resulted in less spam. Is that a defense of their behaviors? I think they should have opened up standards compliant gateways long ago and put the onus of spam control on the gateway operators with clearly defined repercussions for failure to control spam. I said in another comment I would like something akin to the IANA and BGP model of peering.

Why do we have to be absolutists? Why can't I buy into a platform that has the features I want and not the features that don't matter to me? It really weakens your position when you say "actively hostile to your freedom" yet I could have purchased an unlocked, rootable, Android phone. I even have several older ones in a box, my HTC One M8 was awesome. Guess what I chose in the end? Guess what I've had the best experience with? I am enjoying my freedom. Could it be better? YES ABSOLUTELY! Can we do that without being absolutists in either direction? YES ABSOLUTELY!

RIP Bob Hail, radio, rock, and satellite pioneer [video]
This video was posted in an amateur radio community I am in. I was only vaguely aware of Bob's impact on venue design in Rock and Roll. Many Amateur Radio community members were heartbroken he had passed. After watching this video and hearing him speak about his love of music, radio, amplification, satellites and more I understand why. He reminds me of Les Paul and more. Sharing this video because I think others would enjoy this incredibly entertaining (and informative) talk! Things _really_ get rolling around the 15:30 mark (but everything leading up to it is good, too, especially if you're into radio)

RIP, Bob.
One unstated part of that "if I don't have root on my device" statement is "...and someone else does have root on my device". On normal Android, Google does have root on your device, while you don't. For instance, whenever you tell the Android Market app (nowadays caled "Google Play Store", but internally it's still the same app) to install an application, it doesn't actually install the application; it tells the Google servers to ask your device to install the application, and a highly privileged service on your device does the actual download and installation.

Said service is highly privileged because it's signed with a key only Google has; several system services have special access (root-equivalent, or even actual root) to your device, and these are signed by the Google key. Some of these can be remotely updated, and this update is silent (I had long ago written a small app found at https://github.com/cesarb/packageaddedremovednotifier to notify me about these silent installs, but it depended on a notification which is no longer broadcast on more recent Android versions; it was instructive for me to notice how often Android Market and one other app were silently updated).

It's true that you don't have root on your hard disk (until you connect to its serial console pins and notice that it doesn't even ask for a password before giving you full access to all its low-level commands), but neither does anyone else.

We'll never get a grapple on tax evasion until our tax codes are as simple as possible. Filing taxes should be an equation simple enough for elementary students.

If income is really an avenue we wish to tax, keep it simple. Graduate tax rates across a few brackets if that's really important but throw out all write offs, deductions, etc. Just tell us what % we owe based on total income. Done.

If Waymo was not too expensive and easy to get at rush hour in LA I'd certainly consider it. If I want to leave work between 5:30 and 6:30 pm, my commute can be 60 mins. At 8pm it will be 20 mins. That sucks but if I could use the 60 mins then it sucks less.

On the other hand, unlike Uber/Lyft, Waymo can't scale like they do. For them, demand pricing means more drivers with their own car driving when there's lots of people to pick up. For Waymo, they'd go broke trying to have enough cars for high demand times that would all sit idle (and have to drive somewhere to park) off peak.

Taking it up a notch. I'd be nice to redesign cars that have no driver. A bench, a desk, small buses for shared rides, or something.
By default terminal in macOS doesnt have full access to the system, you specifically have to go grant it "full disk access" to get close to that.

Of course that doesn't help when people with no idea what they're doing routinely disable SIP and turn off security features because being asked if you really want to run "ScammyScammersonsScam.app" once is an indignity.
How is that at all comparable?

First, pretty sure they waive the unreal engine license royalties for sales on the EGS.

Second, the timed exclusive offers an even lower sales percentage to epic for being exclusive to EGS for that time period. The developer has a choice to get a larger cut in exchange for not listing elsewhere for a period. That's actually competition in action. Offering better deals to persuade developers and customers to your platform.

They are NOT saying if you don't list on the EGS you can't list on PC at all, which would be a more comparable stance to what Apple do.
What does capturing emails mean? I thought this tool would be a self-hosted server that receives email for my domain for the purpose of acting on it, not storing it. That’s a use case that would be nice for me and what I understood by the term “capture”.
not an idiotic take but an obvious one. Musk is an ego driven individual and its clear he got his ego tangled up with sam if you see him talk about it lately. He makes points like 'im the reason openai exists' or 'openai is my biggest mistake'. Launching xai. This with his severe messiah complex.

Scuba diver reunites couple with still working mobile phone lost at sea
Haha yeah, took some love. I have a scrappy little "framework" that I've been adjusting since I started making interactive posts last year. Writing my interactive widgets feels a bit like doing a game jam now: just copy a template and start compiling+reloading the page, seeing what I can get onto the screen. I've just been using the canvas2d API.

Besides figuring out a good way of dealing with reference frames, the only trick I'd pass on is to use CSS variables to change colors and sizes (line widths, arrow dimensions, etc.) interactively. It definitely helps to tighten the feedback loop on those decisions.

We have been active on wasm implementations of jpeg xl but it doesn't really work with progressive rendering, HDR canvas was still not supported, threadpools and simd had hickups etc. etc. Browser wasn't and still isn't ready for high quality codecs as modules. We are continually giving gentle guidance for these but in the heart our small team is an algorithm and data format research group, not a technology lobbyist organization — so we haven't yet been successful there.

In the current scenario jpeg xl users are most likely to emerge outside of the web, in professional and prosumer photography, and then we will have — unnecessarily — two different format worlds. Jpeg xl for photography processing and a variety of web formats, each with their problems.

It is still a pain to read through everything to try and find a match

So I built a scraper and added a bit of AI with GPT, to match my resume and ideal job description to the job descriptions

It saves me hours, going from hundreds or thousands of potential matches, to only the best almost instantly

The results include a summary of the role, why it’s a good fit, and instructions on how to apply

Next I want to make it easier to personalize my resume for the application and keep track of the application processes (which I’m doing in a spreadsheet)
I think I last got an oil change early on during the pandemic.

Sometime around then.

I do think my car needs a car wash. Not necessarily this month, but definitely within the next year or so. It costs $5 in quarters at the car wash. Maybe $10. Not $600 a year.

If you are spending $600 a year on car washes, I want to start a business, and I want you, specifically you, as my customer.

Hello I'm Ricardo, a front-end dev with 5+ years of experience in startup environments both large (Series E) and small (Angel).
We already don't move them for timezones. I was born at 3am but in France, when I'm in the US I don't celebrate the day before.
It’s not grammar and it’s not a correction. The phrase “I could care less” has only one meaning and that meaning is “I don’t care”. It is being used correctly.
You are right, I conflated the two a bit there. It is an important distinction/difference but with a similar outcome. Especially egregious to me that often the people pushing the newer standards are the same ones signing on to be part of the patent pool. I guess my feeling is that if you want to make it a standard, it should be unencumbered by patents, paywalls, and NDAs. Otherwise how can you expect me to implement the standard?

These companies often make these advancements because it's beneficial to their bottom line, because they can utilize fewer resources or provide a better product to their customers. They then expect everyone to implement their standards so they can reap the benefit of those changes with all their customers.
Interesting thought experiment! How would they best take advantage of the weights and what would be signs/actions that we could observe that signal it is likely they have the weights?
They don't effing know and most people don't have the mental stack or attention span to make it through an explanation of the factors/consequences involved.

Believe me, I've tried hard to get things boiled down for the layman. We're at a point we're literally speaking languages that have no commonly relatable interpersonal equivalent.
