Yeah, I'm split on the issue. The court was right on the technicalities around disclosure, but it was also plain as day the board was musks buddies and the stockholders still approved it the first time.

Could the board have negotiated a better deal if they weren't buddies? Probably, but that's why board composition matters.

The judge said they thought Musk would have made the milestones without the comp because he already had skin in the game.

Ex-post facto recontacting is just icky overall.
Yeah, that's definitely the big variable of if this was something that most human drivers would have also collided or not. Given how the observer car still seems to have good visibility of the car and the whole accident I'd guess they probably passed the car just a few seconds before the Mach E collided. I imagine most people's sense of time in that scenario is pretty unreliable, we'd pretty much need some kind of video recording to know exactly how much time the Mach E realistically had to react.

Not paying taxes is the single best thing anyone can do. You can get an average market return and you will still move up, relatively, because most people pay taxes. Often it's the difference between having to work or not.

Old money doesn't pay taxes through international arrangements. It's only for the working and lower middle class. Gifts from foreign people, companies and trusts are completely tax free in America for example. It's not talked about unlike bullshit minimum taxes on new money because same people controlling the media use it.

Income tax is primarily designed to keep elites in power and to prevent social mobility, they don't have to do anything special, not paying taxes over decades is an incredible advantage. If you start poor the only realistic option is to risk evasion until you make enough to start not paying legally, and the limitations period on tax evasion runs out.
You can't delete your HN account.
there was drop for year. A platform where you watch your fav shows, that remembers where you stopped watching, auto loading next episode, skip into, persistent subtitles and dub options.

All of those were winning them business from people who have money but no time.

But now if a friend recommends a show or movie to watch. In time it takes to figure out where can I watch it, subscribing etc. I could be already watching it from torrents.

I dont have to mentaly juggle subscribing and unsubscribing from platforms that make it extra difficult to cancell etc.

Its too much hustle.
I think there are only 2 types of people: those who buy into schemas that divide people into between 3 and 16 groups with cool names and those who don't.
Except that without a lot more information on that vehicle we don't know if it is optimized for a very specific scenario (low speed driving in crowded areas), or if it could perform similarly on a highway at 65MPH during snow or rain.

There are TONS of examples of FSD working well in various scenarios online. Having worked in video analytics/AI for the last 15 years I have seen all kinds of demo video that is essentially highlight reels, while the evidence of the product utterly failing is not released.

These utilities are mostly not tools designed around being maximally functional, they are there to create some fun stuff to fill up a terminal when you show your system off. The whole point is to make a statement. For some people, they want to make a statement that includes something about their gender or sexuality, so they’ve got a fork for that.

There’s a big lgbtq+ tech community, because you can explore this stuff online more easily (people can connect and talk about it, the internet can be anonymous or pseudonymous, and there’s less risk of physical violence). So, these identities are wrapped up for lots of people—maybe not for you and me, but surely you can see that they are for other people, right?
it could be a service for local uses: you select an area and ask Google to render it. Could be even premium service hehe
As a once off, with the same context, it giving the same answer doesn't surprise me. What I'm wondering if the behavior when it keeps being asked for another response with the previous responses fed back into it. In this case, a human would see they are doing the 80% 'too much' and decide to do the 20% to balance it out. That isn't actually good and shows they still aren't operating off a random probability, instead they are emulating their perception of what a random probability would look like.

Given this sort of situation to an LLM instead, is the expectation for it to give the most likely answer continuously, to act like a human and try to emulate a probability, or to do something different from either of the two previous options?

Edit: Just tried an attempt with copilot, having it produce a random distribution of two different operations. I had it generate multiple operations, either adding or subtracting 1 each, with an 80/20 split. It did four adds, one minus on repeat.
Yeah looks like they misused the word "train". And instead meant context stuffing.

> Six Waymo robotaxis blocked traffic moving onto the Potrero Avenue 101 on-ramp in San Francisco on Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. (...) While routing back to Waymo’s city depot that evening, the first robotaxi in the lineup came across a road closure with traffic cones. The only other path available to the vehicles was to take the freeway, according to a Waymo spokesperson. (...) the company is still only testing on freeways with a human driver in the front seat. (...) After hitting the road closure, the first Waymo vehicle in the lineup then pulled over out of the traffic lane that was blocked by cones, followed by six other Waymo robotaxis.

Also gotta point out, the article uses such a disingenuous way to put it. The Waymo didn't "pull[ed] over out of the traffic lane that was blocked by cones" the car stopped in the lane of travel and put it's flashers on as evidenced by the video at the top of the article.

Birmingham city council accused of basing drastic cuts on 'imagined' data
> other than exceptions, whats the alternative?

This may be a crazy/dumb take, but would it be so wrong to allow code outside the function to take the wheel and do a return? Then you could define common return scenarios and make succinct calls to them. Use `returnif(err)` for the most typical, boilerplate replacement, or more elaborate handlers as needed.
I imagine this would result in a large number of people catering their job applications and interview preparedness to AI topics but otherwise not having any particularly special or more advanced AI related skills (unless this is about targeting a handful of demonstrated experts).
Yes, it does. The right to free speech is not a right if exercising it costs you your livelihood. The idea that freedom of speech only restricts the government's actions is typical American myopia.

I promise you that major cities have stopped reporting crime to the FBI. At least one major city hid lack of crime response under administrative labels.

The FBI data is based on voluntary reporting by individual law enforcement agencies, and last year, half of US police departments, including those in big cities such as Los Angeles and New York, failed to submit data for 2021.

But seriously, how can you not go to Twitter and see that it has become totally enshittified. The real lesson learned there is that large tech infrastructures are actually stable enough to survive a lot of BS without collapsing. Doesn't make the products pleasant to use, though.
I see all liberty as stemming from private property rights. Thus the freedom to roam can only take away your liberty, not add to it.
Management is hard and ICs often underestimate the difficulty.

Employees are diverse, and what works for one, doesn't work for another. Similarly, what ICs say will work and what actually works are usually very different.
With everyone so hung up on if to call the slaughter of woman, old people and children genocide or not the question seems fair.

There seems to be a desire to transform a rather obvious reality into something that doesn't sound so bad.
No, you mean that we could solve a lot of other problems that you care about. At least be honest about it.
Yes, it runs the code.
Same here, been WFH since 2015, however I did do a lot of driving for other reasons previously. Since 2022 however I drive less than 7000 miles a year, and that includes a family road trip each year for the holidays that is ~2500 miles round-trip. One thing that bothers me is that insurance is getting extremely expensive where I live, even though I hardly drive and my car is garaged year-round due to the greatly increasing amounts of vehicle theft. I've considered a few times just not having a car and renting a car regularly, but services like ZipCar have pretty much died out and I don't live in a city center where they still sometimes exist. I drive on average just once per week, if I could that for a fully-laden cost of less than $500/mo it would be cheaper to rent than buy, but it doesn't seem like there's anyone that's captured this market.
I hate Elon Musk and I think that the Tesla corporation is overvalued, and I am generally for environmental regulations, but it's not like "state laws preempting city laws" is unique to Texas. This is true of pretty much every state, just like federal laws preempting state laws.

I can't really blame a for-profit corporation for using the laws as they are written. I blame Texas for having the loophole.
“Shoved down your throat” is an interesting way to describe software that you chose to download from someone else, which is clearly labeled as containing pro-LGBT imagery and messaging. It’s like picking up a library book about cats, which says on the cover, “Also contains much about the history of abortion law”, then complaining that it’s being “shoved down your throat”. Put the book down.
CenturyLink also had a recent outage that caused 911 calls to stop working for Las Vegas, the state of South Dakota, and other areas. They blamed it on a third party light pole installation but it's being investigated.

Seems insane to me that a single line being severed could bring down 911.
Where did you see me write about New York? I mentioned some big German cities.
That's an interpretation I hadn't considered, mostly because Borgo has Rust-style tagged unions which it also calls enums. The statement wouldn't have caught my attention if I'd read it in that light, but while I'm here, I don't mind opining.

"Does Go have enumerated values" seems much like "does Lua have objects". Lua doesn't have `class` or anything like it, it has tables, metatables, and metamethods. But it makes it very easy to use those primitives to create a class and instance pattern, including single inheritance if desired, and it even offers special syntax for defining and calling methods with `:` and `self`. If I had to deliver a verdict, I would say that the special syntax pushes it over the line, and so yeah: with some caveats, Lua has objects.

Same basic thing with Go. One may define a custom integer type, and a set of consts using that type with `iota`, to get something which behaves like plain old small-integer enums. It's possible to undermine this, however, by defining more values of this type, which makes this pattern weaker than it could be, but in a way which is similar to the enums found in C.

Ultimately, Go provides iota, and making enums is the intended purpose of it. If you search for "enums in Go" you'll find many sources describing an identical pattern. So, like `self` and `:` in Lua, I'd say that `iota` in Go means that it has an enumerated type.

But if someone wanted to say "Go doesn't even have enums, you have to roll your own, other languages have an enum keyword", I have a different opinion than that first clause, but there's nothing factually wrong with any of it. I find this sort of "where's the threshold" question less interesting than most.
The old regulations still won't do squat against the rise in crime and the hordes of drugged-out homeless camps everywhere. THAT is what makes Seattle unattractive these days. And I say that as a King County resident.

Definitely agree about it sounding stodgy.
No, at-will employment means they don't need to justify it, however, should they decide to - then the "justification" needs to be true and legal.

I created the most complete Icon component for React web and mobile
We are excited to announce the most complete React and React Native component for icons that works both for web and mobile, totally customizable by the power of Tailwind CSS.

Introducing: ROCKETICONS
You can use this icon lib to choose among almost 46,000 icons distributed in 30+ collections to make sure you will always have the best icons for your app on your web or mobile app, using the same code!

You no longer need two icon library components, just use #rocketicons and share the icons code between both platforms. If you use @expo, this is the perfect library for you. With a single, shared code, you can have icons across all your applications in your monorepo sharing the same code! This is just the beginning of this journey and we have a roadmap full of great plans for incredible new features. The library is fully typed and we are already planning expanding it to several other formats and frameworks out there.

We want to take some time to thank @kamijin_fanta, the creator of the original react-icons which was such a great inspiration for us. Tank you for the great library and website! Enjoy our website at https://rocketicons.io and play with it in your projects. If you like React and Tailwind, we are sure you will love this!

Keep rocketing on your projects!

I have zero evidence to support this, but I would be more inclined to believe that (sub) cultural environments impact these stats way more than genetics. None of the data or even logical reasoning supports a genetic component.
After trying this out with the fourier implementation above, swapping MLP/Attention Linear layers for KANs (all, or even a few layers) produces diverging loss. KANs don't require normalization for good forward pass dynamics, but may be trickier to train in a deep net.
Reading between the lines (the institute gave the research team two days to leave..., their students’ incomplete experiments were now “impossible to save"...), it sounds like this was not a planned move or reno. One possibility could be that they had a leak and everyone had to be evacuated, but perhaps the more concerning one would be that they were working on H5N1 (release the genome on one of the human-transmitted strains?), and were stopped
I wanted to comment, and I did. And I did say a fair point, in my opinion.

The fact that you'd rather have me shut up speaks volume about what you consider a contribution in FOSS, and frankly I hope it's not a reflection on how you approach the real world, because you're in for a rude awakening.
I didn't know such a feature existed, thanks.
You say change things at the state level, but carefully don’t mention how that’s impossible in Texas. Care to give some advice how, or is that just a brush-off? There’s no state referendums in Texas. Republicans have a gerrymandered supermajority and they crush outsiders. So it feels manipulative when you say that without mentioning the impossibility of it.

The local laws exist because changing the state laws are impossible, I know, I’m an Austinite.
Your comment has nothing to do with what's being discussed. The self reported survey claims that black individuals have no higher chance of victimization than other groups. One of the extremely few objective measurements of victimization data we have shows they are dramatically more likely to suffer at least some sorts of violent crime. This suggests that the survey data is likely flawed.
> most CDNs will send every single request in that period through.

I don't think this is true. It certainly isn't for any CDN that I've worked for or on.

Cloudflare don't do this either - they use a cache lock - the first request basically acts as a blocker for all the others, leaving the other requests waiting for the response (if it's cacheable they serve that response, if not then they proceed to origin).

It's normally configurable, but most sane CDNs do have it enabled by default, precisely because big bursts tend to be sharp in nature and a cache miss can be origin breaking at that point.

Just for completeness's sake, Nginx's HTTP proxy module can do it too (the setting's proxy_cache_lock) though it is off by default there.
google is the result of ruthless growth. i want someone focused on a quality product and experience for users.
And it's pluggable at the system level so the global shortcuts that default to Google Assistant can be made to point to a third party provider instead.
Kagi doesn't have an independent search engine over their own index. Even the Kagi website calls it a search client.

Brave Search, which had its full release less than two years ago, does have its own index and is one of the sources that Kagi uses.
