I'm not surprised that it took a literal nation to overcome the resistance to any serious development by that particular group of NIMBYs. Score a win for decentralized power.

I don't think there's any racism at all on their part though, as much as the article tries to play that up. They simply hate idea of downtown expanding into what they view as their perfect suburban neighborhood and they are well organized. They always oppose high density development regardless of who proposes it. This has nothing to do with "Canadians" generally, who don't give a shit as a broad group. This is about a small group of homeowners in a particular area of Vancouver.

This development is just what Vancouver needs, and so long as it actually happens the city will be better for it. It's also great to see first nations or whatever we're supposed to call them get a big financial win like this too: By providing what the market needs. The only way to move past what happened in the past is well earned financial success in the present.

I have two predictions:

1) This will have more positive impact on people's ability to afford living in Vancouver than anything the current group of clowns ruling Ottawa do.

2) In spite of the Kits homeowners fears, the expansion of the city through this development will make their property even more desirable and valuable.
Thanks! The quality of the expert witness statements is astonishing, and the sheer scale of the work carried out in a relatively short period of time is something I just can't imagine.

Steamworks, the APIs available to all games on Steam, is packed with tons of features and services that aren't a CDN + forum. Anyone making games for Steam should make use of those to get the most out of their 30% in fees.

I had two pretty good jobs come to me from LinkedIn.

The majority of job leads I got from maybe the start of LinkedIn to about 8 years ago were crap.

These days, most job leads are not crap, they just are not competitive with my current job. Much improved! Granted, I just updated a couple months ago my profile to say, "Not open to opportunities" and because my profile is recently updated, I get people contacting me daily - even on the weekend.
Ask HN: Good resources for car hacking via CAN Bus?
I was reading this about Mazda Kinematic Posture Control (https://www.passportmazda.com/blogs/1766/uncategorized/mazda-has-develops-new-technology-that-provides-the-mx-5-miata-with-better-stability-when-cornering/), which is basically a cornering aid where it uses brakes on the inside wheel to make the car turn better (basically like torque vectoring instead of just with brakes).

Considering most cars have had ABS for a while, I became interested whether or not its possible to develop this capability in a OBD plug in unit for any car. Basically, fool the ABS system in thinking that a wheel is spinning fast, causing it to apply brakes to that wheel.

The question that I have seems to be whether or not this is possible to do. For example, Comma AI units seems to be able to command brake and steering directly, however the supported cars all require some form of driver assistance, which means that they fake the signals from these driver assist systems. For cars that don't have this, it seems that Comma units will not work.

So is it such that a lot of cars without any driver aids simply do not have a way to reach the ABS unit via the CAN Bus?

Any good documentation or website on this stuff would be much appreciated as well.

> Leftism is popular in Academia because of selection bias and not some huge conspiracy

Even if indeed "academia is left-wing" (which I'm still not sure it's properly proven: everyone who said that appeared to just "feel it's the case" and turn out to have some sympathies with more right-wing values. Of course you think it's more left-wing if you see left-wing event and right-wing event in same quantities: the right-wing events are not "right-wing", they are just "normal", so you end up thinking "this uni is doing 50% of normal and 50% of left-wing, so it is left-wing". Not saying it's not the case, my problem is that if it is left-wing, I would expect it will be said by people who are less biased).

I was saying ... even if it is left-wing, it is interesting that you are attributing that to "selection bias". There are plenty of other hypothesis:
- people in academia thinks a lot, and right-wing ideas are just not very good (I don't think it's true, but it's as charitable as 'selection bias')
- approach in academia is more compatible to left-wing way of thinking
- socio-economic and culture of people going to academia are more compatible to left-wing way of thinking
- ...

> I agree but it's been known to happen and it's been known to be brushed under the carpet.

How is that relevant? It's like saying "academia is dominated by right-wing: we can see some collusion and then it being brushed under the carpet", such as whatever you can find by googling "pro-iran academia in us" or any other right-wing dictatorial countries.

I love how Americans are so brainwashed about "the communist threat". I'm sure there are sometimes political games from China, sometimes linked to ideology (and maybe the example you gave it's indeed one of them, big deal, there are plenty of fraud done by right-wing academics), but in the majority of the cases, China involvement in frauds is just because China is a big country with an emergent economy, with a lax regulation to fraud supported by a corrupted dictatorship. China would have been a right-wing dictatorship, the same thing would have happened. But again, you are doing a confirmation bias: you want to see reason why academia is ideologically communist.

It does not change anything to the initial argument: what you call a paradox is not a paradox. You are just pretending here that someone the students who do the protests are the one in charge of vetting the events they are protesting about in the first place, which is just stupid.

Once upon a time, while hiking, an elderly fellow shared his three rules for multi-day hikes:

- look backwards from time to time (so you'll know from where you came in case it's necessary to backtrack)

- know where you think you should be after X hours hike, and compare your actual surroundings to ensure they match sufficiently with the deduced location

- if you do get lost, never leave your drainage (when things are going poorly, don't make them worse)

We later learned he was a program manager for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_X-30 , and not only did we use all three rules literally when got lost about half a week later, I've used them metaphorically on all manner of software projects since.

Well, several people in the thread have pointed out how subjective my original point was, so fair enough, but on this particular point, the brilliance is in the songwriting, arrangements and performance. They're amazing, even in their imperfections.

I mean, nobody really cares that Prince's drumming is all over the shop in The Cross, it doesn't matter, the performance is incredible.

But I think the recording is pretty flat and dull, and I've heard it at a Classic Album Sundays event on a high-end stereo and there wasn't anything that stereo could dig out that I hadn't already heard. And I then bought the remaster in 2020, same same. But in a way, maybe it just proves that album has always been perfect in every way and I should stop giving a shit about the recording.

The article wasn't really covering any reforms. The article itself is probably off-topic for HN.

I think a lot of the negative response to your comment is how you framed it and the questionable content (having fewer insured people doesn't necessarily make care more affordable; in fact the point of the ACA was to increase affordability through increased coverage, although the effects on gross costs seem negligible).

Yes, things would not be as good if they pulled the contract. But Medicaid is an option, so it's not like he'd have no care at all and one doesn't need to "pay out the ass" for that.

> Since David Eby overrode the strata no-rental rules, it ended up increasing cases of squatters, petty theft, drug labs and brothels. This does not include what a retired VPD officer describes as an "Amazon of drug labs and brothels" throughout vancouver high rise. I mean Vice reporters were even reporting on it years ago.

David Eby has been premier since October 2022, strata property act happened soon after in November. Maybe, just maybe, the squatters, petty theft, drug labs and brothels aren't a result of the strata changes. Certainly not the ones that Vice reporters reported on years ago.
I like this approach. Just as an example, if I'm getting a car insurance quote, I'd rather pay $1 to have the tool fill out the forms for me and be 90% that it filled them out correctly rather than pay $0.01 and only be 70% sure it did it correctly. And there are plenty of use cases like that.

I guess the point I was trying to make is that the public is being manipulated by the moral framing of this project. The buildings would not be normally allowed in that area, and the proponents of project are using an explicit racial justice narrative to counteract criticism of their violation of norms. I'm agnostic about whether or not the project is good idea, but I think it's generally bad to manipulate people in this way. What I was implying is that the whole thing seems like a really clever scheme by a real estate developer during a time in Canada when indigenous issues are hugely popular. But, maybe I am being too cynical.

Define "worse", I guess. Health care outcomes in the US are demonstrably worse than our peer nations and at a much higher cost today.

Yes, as an upper-middle-class salaryman, my care is above average. If I don't like what Uncle Sam provides, I can buy additional coverage/care. No change for me.

For everybody with worse coverage and less income? They're already receiving worse care than most of Western Europe.

It's comforting to see first nations of canada recovering a central role in modern canadian society.

However, having lived here for a year a year now, I have observed a concerning aspect of this re-integration, which is mentioned in the article: First nations aren't just propped back up and re-integrated in society, it goes further in that they are given special rights that go beyond what any other class of canadian citizens have access to. In this case it is exemption from zoning laws, but all over the country it's access to mining, lumber and fishing rights. They are exempted from federal quotas on fishing, cutting forests, etc ...

On moral grounds, I find it questionable to give some citizens special birth rights greater than others. But on more practical grounds, this is creating a great big loophole for the traditional resource extraction companies to circumvent environment regulation by partnering with first nations on projects.
I haven't tested extensively with non SDXL based checkpoints but there's nothing really SDXL specific about the model; if you're using a fine-tune that's trained on booru-style tags, it will probably not work as well - but otherwise it should work just fine.

I've seen something similar referred to as the "Voat" effect. Voat was a reddit alternative that popped up when reddit started banning subs that had poor optics (the explicit hate subreddits, the pro-racism subreddits, the basically-child-porn subs). Voat was founded on a principle of free speech, allowing whatever content users wanted.

Regardless of whether reddit made the correct decision banning those suspect subreddits, it turns out having a community composed almost entirely of those cast-offs is not a pleasant place to be.
I wholeheartedly agree that technical advice isn’t needed at this stage and likely the main thing to solve for is how fast can you iterate to an MVP and PMF-solution that could allow you to fundraise further. I’ve worked with some startups where they outsourced on a solution basis to alleviate the risk of building the wrong thing. Architecture was ok but not the most important issue at the current stage.

> So far you’ve ignored all of my points touching on the possibility that training AI on copyrighted material might be illegal.

You made many points in this thread, and I didn't argue all of them. I don't know why you want me to comment on this specific point? Fine. I agree with you that training AI on copyrighted material _might_ be illegal. In fact, it probably will be declared illegal _somewhere_ (and probably will be declared legal somewhere else). I'm not a lawyer, so I don't have much to contribute to this particular point, not sure why you expect me to comment on it?

> You’ve also failed to engage with any points about OpenAI requesting copyright exemption, which I’ve mentioned multiple times and was my first point. Their actions have already demonstrated what I’m saying here, that they know the potential copyright problems with their AI go far beyond overfitting accidents.

I agree with this as well. I didn't comment on it, because it was tangential to the point that we were arguing about, and I have nothing of substance to contribute to OpenAI's copyright exemption request.

> We haven’t even discussed ChatGPT, but it’s pretty obvious that they would like to have the right to disseminate information and excerpts from copyrighted sources. They want it to overfit on some things, otherwise they can’t improve it’s ability to tell the truth and not hallicinate false information.

That also makes sense.

> You claim accidental infringement is an unintended failure mode, but it’s a surprise to nobody that a sophisticated copy machine sometimes copies things.

Sure. I wouldn't call it a copy machine, but yes, nobody is surprised that the machine _sometimes_ copies things.

> I’ve been suspecting for the entire thread that you’re really not understanding nor listening to my argument

I still don't understand what the "argument" is. You've made several different statements which I agree with. And then you made one outlandishly incorrect statement, which I disagreed with, and that was the point I argued with you. What you're doing right now is muddying the waters with a thousand unrelated arguments, and I don't know why you're doing that or what you're hoping to achieve.

If you can articulate what you believe it is that we disagree on, please go ahead. If you don't know what the disagreement is, then maybe there's no point continuing this conversation further.

We're quite different than LaVague. LaVague passes in the entire HTML DOM to the LLM to help it generate XPaths and valid Selenium code. (https://github.com/lavague-ai/LaVague/blob/main/src/lavague/...)

We spend quite a bit of our time building a layer between the HTML and the LLM call to distill important pieces of information down to actions the LLM can take.. better weighing cost vs output. We're still not at 100% coverage.
