Not a fan of this vehicle at all, but this article is pretty vapid clickbait, besides the unexplained system issue.

No car should be washed in direct sunlight, you'll get spots from drying soap, water etc. And 'car wash mode' is totally normal and standard, you don't want charge ports to open, the wiper to start, or accidentally put it into gear.

I drove a Polestar 2 for a while and was extremely scared of going into a car wash, there are like 17 steps you need to take (including a warning that "the touch-sensitive doors might lock and unlock intermittently during the wash cycle").
On that note, the css property user-select [0] may be useful to anyone trying to implement this kind of usability.

It can also be used to ensure a whole block of text is selected and copied as a unit. That is helpful for things like a an error message or an identifier like ABC-123.

Take a random group of students from the general population and one of those examples (Edit: or any single given example whatsoeve). Turns out 95% are not really interested.

Edit 2: The teacher probably gave some example from biology or something that you didn't care about and therefore forgot about it.

This is exactly how I would teach SO many subjects in school: take what kids are actually interested about and make them see the connection.

While the car definitely broke down, the suggestion that it was caused by the car wash is pretty disingenuous. Many cars have a "Car wash mode", which ensure that the automatic wipers do not turn on and that the windows stay up. It can also allow the car to be moved slowly through an automated machine I think. Either the author didn't know this, and should try driving a car built in the past 5 years, or they did know and were just chasing clicks. Either way, lazy journalism.

Ask HN: Encrypted File as a Login Method
I'm developing an anonymous blogging website that exemplifies user privacy and instead of going the ol' tried-and-true route of requiring an email/password for account creation/login, I want to do this:

Generate a file containing a random string of text, then encrypt it

Calculate the sha256 checksum of the encrypted file and store it in a database. Then provide the file and the decryption key to the user for download.

When the user wants to login, they upload that file to my server in a buffer, where the sha256 is calculated and checked against the database. If it matches, user gains access to their account data, associated with the checksum. If it doesnt, the file is rejected. Either way, the encrypted file is deleted after checking.

I think this would be really secure because if my server is compromised, the only thing an attacker would have is sha256 checksums as user identifiers. I know there's probably hashing/file-handling attack vectors, as well as file-collision scenarios(although rare, still possible)

Are there any additional considerations I should take into account with this project? Also, security QA's as recovery in case they lose their file.
I think this is a great plot. However, to make it more interesting:

1) who or what controls the guillotine collars?

2) if you say something in an interview and your head doesnt leave your body. It must be true, right? RIGHT?!

3) at some point a few adversaries that are questioning the guillotine suddenly tell a lie or pass a bad law and get "Sepped" (the slang for head and body SEParation, i.e. your head gets chopped.).

4) going against the party is "objectively" a lie and all people who dont fall in line of "truth" get "Sepped"

5) a law gets passed where everybody wears a mandatory guillotine collar. "We are a Republic of truth! Do you have things to hide? Are you a liar? Then you must fear this law. Only the morally corrupt will fear this law! All true citizens of the Republic will welcome this law."

That's true for most science though, biology had the same issues earlier in the 1800s-1900s until the field matured. It doesn't mean that all biology from that time was pseudoscience, it was wrong but paved the way to find the right answers.

Psychology has its successes, empirically proven by getting results in clinical settings, we don't have deep answers on why some of it works or not but working known pharmaceutical compounds also suffer from that, we know they work but we don't know how (some NSAIDs come to mind, psychiatric meds, anesthesia as well).

I have a family member where my whatsapp history is a direct and concrete measure of their improved welfare after starting therapy: Our live conversations have largely been me dealing with the effects of OCD. Once they started therapy, the length of those conversations declined dramatically and rapidly, and while they still have some symptoms they are dealing with them far better.

You could argue it's a coincidence, but it'd seem a highly unlikely one given the therapy was specifically to address that OCD, and the techniques they're using to reduce the frequency were taught by the therapist. And of course it is one anecdote.

I have no doubt there are lots of people for whom therapy is insufficient or doesn't work, but there are also people for whom you can measure the effects in a lot of other ways than the judgment of therapists themselves.
If the model is properly regularised, it can be trained indefinitely without overfitting. E.g., you can add adversarial perturbations to images and train a visual model for a very long time.

I don't know if the current LLM architectures have any explicit regularisation or if it happens to be an intrinsic part.

It's a very very stupid idea. But the idea itself is not really the problem here.

If they did deliver the truck they announced, with the price they announced, I think it may sell well - only in the US, but still.

The problem is, that they delivered a truck with 1/2 the range, 2x the price and that's very clearly not yet finished.

I have this theory, that Tesla is going to need to raise a lot of capital very soon or it will go belly up, and hence Musk is trying every trick he has available to sell some kind of futuristic vision, so that investors turn a blind eye to their actual business.

What's contested is not that some therapist or therapy sessions ever helped people.

It's that it's scientific and systematic (and not e.g. arbitrary and subjective, whose efficacy is based on methodology but on the specific patient, the specific therapist, their rapport, and such things).

Talking to a friend also helped many a person overcome psychological problems. As did getting a new job, working out, getting laid, and lots of other things. None of those things claim to be scientific fields though.

People are often blown away by the real time reactivity.
Depends what you want and whether you have new data or just train for more epochs. More relevant data is probably always a good thing, repeating the same data not necessarily.

Repeating data is probably good though if you really want the model to learn certain things.

State-of-the-art training curriculums probably train on low-quality data to teach the model how to handle language. You don't want to repeat that one too often, you rather want a lot of diverse input. Data augmentation should help here too, for example deliberately introducing spelling errors in the input and expecting the model to return the unchanged input.

Later stages contain high-quality data and try to improve performance on specific tasks. That probably benefits from repetition.

The final stage is alignment to chat or instruct prompts and safety engineering.

Sony Ericsson Satio

"In terms of software, Satio uses the Symbian OS 9.4 operating system, which is created collaboratively under the stewardship of the Symbian Foundation as "Symbian^1".[4] It is Sony Ericsson's first non-UIQ Symbian device, after UIQ's development closed down earlier that year. It uses the PlayNow service, Sony Ericsson's mobile content platform, and is part of the company's new Entertainment Unlimited service.[5] In terms of connectivity, it is Wi-Fi-enabled and has a GPS chip for navigation and location-based services. It also supports full Flash for video playback.

Say I wanted to run this on my phone today. What's the best path one could take to actually use it as mkre than a toy? I suspect step 1 is to get llama.cpp running in Termux and a ggml or other model file loaded. That gets you a local web interface for inference. Then... how do you hook that up to your system such that it can do anything useful?

>So if it was a crime, I am sure the murderer is long deceased and probably not even a homo sapiens.

If it was a "murder", it had to be a homo sapiens. Killings by wild animals aren't called "murders".

However, if this was a Neanderthal person, it's quite possible the murder was by a fellow Neanderthal, aka homo sapiens neanderthalensis.

(Apparently it's still debated whether the Neanderthals are a distinct species or a subspecies of homo sapiens.)

Terrible taste. Why would you hide such an infrequently used feature behind a single character? In this case you should absolutely use a keyword.
No its the opposite: overfitting is the result of either having too many weights compared to the size of your dataset, or training for a long time while reusing/transforming parts of your dataset to make it last longer.

Having a huge dataset compared to the size of your network will reduce overfitting.
Yet Another Doom Clone
Therapy isn't pseudoscience but the reproducibility crisis is real. There's also the issue that if you change a therapist, their approach to treating, diagnosing a condition will change. With modern medicine, we have tests and reports and doctor's don't've that much of a leeway on how they treat a condition. We have medical malpractice lawsuits when doctor's go out of line.

Like the parent mentioned, the reproducibility crisis didn't change anything, we also can't be sure how many doctors actually took these findings into account.

The point I'm trying to make is that it is really difficult to identify bad therapists. It'll take a while before it's reliable enough and that's okay, but therapy gets thrown around as an option like it is.
Ugh. Not this HN trope again. "Web is bad, the old days were good, designers are the worst, developers are the best"

Lazy, inaccurate, and offensive.

How is this limited to the web? 'The Desktop' suffers significantly more from not having a single, understandable paradigm. Is this UI modal? If I click this will it 'pop' me to another view? Or will it open a new window? Is that window represented in task bar/switcher/dock/whatever? How do I get back to where I was before?

Not to mention the issue that both macOS and Windows suffers from being in the middle of a UI-kit transition, with a bunch of half-and-half apps across the system, with the new system being of... dubious quality (I'm staring at you, new macOS Settings)

I think overall, I think there is a positive trend for usability of software on both the web and 'desktop' (whatever that means). But still, just like 20 years ago, people can still make bad software.

Edit: lol - just now as I'm trying to uninstall some AMD drivers, I get a dialogue box asking me to visit a long Microsoft Store URL, and it's neither clickable nor copyable. Desktop is perfect!

> Why would the years of life on earth (or evolution) matter for species alive today being of "ecological importance" or not?

It matters because we're not that smart. A species deemed "inessential" to ecological importance might very well turn out to be critical for unforeseen, even unforeseeable reasons. Not just to the species itself, which you seem to discount despite their ancient pedigree, but even to us through second order effects.

The amount of time a species has been around is a strong clue that they're fulfilling a role in the ecosystem. Nature doesn't really do 'superfluous'; everything connects. Not in a hippy dippy way, but in the realest way, and in ways beyond our comprehension. The classic examples when I was growing up of 'nature being wasteful' - the appendix and 'junk DNA' - have now been revised... Because we learned more.

No one knew how wolves change rivers [0] until it was studied. In hindsight it's obvious and makes perfect sense, but we didn't deem wolves "essential" when we killed them all.

> and that used a technique called rotoscoping

Technically it's "interpolated rotoscoping" using a custom tool called Rotoshop, which takes vector shapes drawn over footage then smoothly animates between the frames giving a distinct dream-like look to it.

Rotoscoping is where you work to a traditional animation framerate drawing over live action but each frame is a new drawing and doesn't have the signature shimmery look Scanner Darkly and Waking Life so I think it's worth pointing out the distinction.

On Windows, you can press Ctrl+C to copy the contents of native message boxes. Admittedly not very discoverable. They should have added it to the System menu as well.

A general facility to select labels should use an additional modifier key, since otherwise unsophisticated users will tend to select labels by mistake and get confused. Labels are already actionable elements, in that clicking on them focuses the associated control, or even changes its state as in the case of check boxes and radio buttons. Another example are the labels of menu items and buttons. Adding selection when you move the mouse a bit while hitting a label is too finicky IMO. If the UI is also a touch interface, it would only get worse.
Anecdotal counterpoint, I've owned probably 15 cars in my life. Anything from performance to trucks. I've washed them in the sun, I've washed then in car washes, I've driven them through flood waters. I've actually never had a car that I own, break down on me in my life.

There seems to be a lot of stories like this one regarding cyber trucks. I don't remember reading anything like this about Toyota trucks.
"Humanoid" refers to anything with a human body morphology (i.e., bipedal, two legs, two arms, head). That can be actual humans, human-looking robots, bipedal aliens with bilateral symmetry, or even Barbie dolls I suppose.

> ... in 1952 in which H. J. Eyesenck, an English psychiatrist, divided thousands of World War II veterans hospitalized for mental illness into three groups. One group was treated by psychoanalysis, another was given other kinds of therapy, and the third received no treatment at all. The men were then measured on an "improvement scale" with these stunning results: 44 per cent improved with psychoanalysis, 64 per cent improved with other therapies, and 72 per cent got better with no treatment at all.

> More recently, Werner Mendel, professor of psychiatry at the University of Southern California, directed a similar study. Trained psychoanalysts treated the patients in the first group, less highly trained psychologists and psychotherapists treated the second group, and the third group was under the care of employees with no formal training. The improvement ratings showed the following remarkable results: the third group, treated by staff members without formal training in therapy, showed the most improvement, whereas the first group, treated by staff members with the most extensive training in psychotherapy, showed the least improvement. Understandably, Dr. Mendel was startled by the results and repeated the experiment, with the same outcome.

Now, I'm not going down this rabbit-hole (I did once and wasted a lot of time!) but there is a lot of evidence that just a bit of attention from another person may be helpful, and affective attention may work wonders.

Windows 7 was still fine IMO. Things went sideways after that.

>It matters because we don't know so much. A species deemed "inessential" to ecological importance might very well turn out to be critical for unforeseen, even unforeseeable reasons

Sure, but that's an argument for "evolution being so complex and long process, we don't know much about which species is essential or not".

Not for the original claim "After billions of years how many species are not of ecological importance? Maybe some primates?" which seems to imply that all/most specific are of ecological importance just because they're old, except maybe some more recent ones like primates.

Yeah, `NonZero*` but also a type like `#[repr(u8)] enum Foo{ X }`,
according to `assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of::<Option<Foo>(), std::mem::size_of::<Foo>())`
you need an enum which fully saturates the repr, e.g. `#[repr(u8)]Bar { X0, ... X255}`
