Not surprised. I tried it and immediately disabled it as it pulled me over a double yellow divider lane into oncoming traffic and I had to take control. And then it slowed extremely aggressively from a 35 to 25 speed change that almost certainly would have caused a driver behind me to rear end or at least be very annoyed (thankfully, there was none), and it was just unpleasant to experience as a driver and passenger. I did not feel confident using it any more after that.
The Greeks had a lot of influence over the Romans, and the Romans even conquered Greece, but Hellenic Egypt was not the same thing as Roman Egypt. The rather tumultuous transition alone is one of the most famous historical events, though most people know the names (Cleopatra, Antony, Caesar) more than the context.
I've been taking Mounjaro for just over 3 months. I'm down 41lbs so far and more importantly my A1C is now 5.5 vs 10.2. I've been lucky. My side effects disappeared after 6 weeks and I've never waited longer than 2 days for a refill.
Classic crime reporting pet peeve: Market & Powell is right in front of the Westfield. Obviously there's more property crime there.

When Police would over rely on heatmaps for their patrol routes, they always ended up spending too much time in front of Walmarts and not enough in neighborhoods.

Anecdotally, crime in SF is far worse than what's reported. Police won't even show up for your smashed windows.
I"m surprised this doesn't include prayer hands/high-five emoji.
for some reason, that tool just doesn't work for me. I think it's because once I generate the list, it's not personalized to my specific scenario so I have to edit it a lot and then it doesn't guide me through it, it just gives me a list of things to do. For me, a lot of the times, I know the list of steps I have to do, but I just don't want to do it - so the chat interface helps me chunk it into the very next steps and make it more specific to my context.
You get posts by people? I swear, it was nothing but ads and recommended content for me until I stopped using it
As someone who has spent time in that 'city-state' I can confirm that not being east asian will make you a target in the eyes of the majority who have vilified foreigners as job-stealing parasites while the multinationals they work for try everything to hire locals and hire the foreigners as last resort. This then makes sure there are multiple cameras ready to capture you breaking any law, local people trying to test you by shouting in public or pushing you in the way knowing full well that any opposition will be documented, colored as entitled aggression and will be used to mount public pressure to make an example out of you. Source below of what happened to a white women, just add biases against south and south east asian men to the mix and I can tell you the image of singapore projected will not match what people feel when they live there.

That is sure to cause some explosions.
Right...as far as I can tell, the free trial cost Tesla basically zero. They might have converted 50,000 people if the 2% rate is about right, which if they paid the $8k each that's $400M. And then all the training data you got from all the drivers that got it for free.
2% conversion for an 8K purchase is actually incredibly high.

Bought in 2018 and v12 has been absolutely amazing. Next version 12.4 will also remove the steering wheel nag.
The last thread holding together the illusion of fair meritocracy in our society is tabla rasa.
Err. Reddit is a dumpster fire of social discourse
That is very good to know, thank you. I can't imagine the intersection between devs who need this and devs who would pay for this versus scripting it themselves is that large. But who knows [shrug]
I had a candidate apply for a role and in his comms with our female recruiter sent a fairly ambiguous response and finished it up with the nail polish emoji.

That definitely ended his candidacy.

Not sure exactly what it meant, but couldn’t think of a good explanation for it.
As a human I couldn't solve it. I missed the key insight that we can calculate the side surface area and it will be the same if it is rolled out into a rectangle.

It might make more sense to give it math problems with enough hints that a human can definitely do it. For example you might try saying: "Here is an enormous hint: the side surface area is easy to calculate when it is rolled up and doesn't change when it is unrolled into a rectangle, so if you calculate the side surface area when rolled up you can then divide by the known length to get the width."

I think with such a hint I might have gotten it, and ChatGPT might have as well.

Another interesting thing is that when discussing rolls of tape we don't really talk about inner diameters that much so it doesn't have that much training data. Perhaps a simpler problem could have been something like "Imagine a roll of tape where the tape itself has constant thickness x and length y. The width of the tape doesn't matter for this problem. We will calculate the thickness. The roll of tape is completely rolled up into a perfectly solid circular shape and a diameter of z. What is the formula for the thickness of the tape x expressed in terms of length y and 'diameter of the tape when rolled up in a circle' z? In coming up with the formula use the fact that the constant thickness doesn't change when it is unrolled from a circular to a rectangular shape."

With so much handholding, (and using the two-dimensional word circular rather than calling it a cylinder and rectangular prism which is what it really is) many more people could apply the formula correctly and get the result. But can ChatGPT?

I just tested it, this is how it did:

https://chat.openai.com/share/ddd0eef3-f42f-4559-8948-e028da...

I can't follow its math so I don't know if it's right or not but it definitely didn't go straight for the simplified formula. (pi times half the diameter squared to get the area of the solid "circle" and divide by the length to get the thickness of the tape.)
"x% chance dying of the flu" has two vastly different meanings.

"If you die, then the cause of death is to 2.5% the flu" is one meaning. Likely close to correct.

"With 2.5% you will die this year a death caused by the flu" is another. Unlikely to be correct.
Just a regular story of capitalism and platform enshittification.

Whenever a platform is owned by shareholders who then need to extract rents from the ecosystem, this will happen. Whether it’s couchsurfing or twitter.

Expect it to happen to Reddit etc.

There is a direct line from the profit motive to platforms becoming enshittified, promoting the most outrageous content and making people emotional and angry.

The AI is just another level of appropriating human work. Whether it’s google’s disruption of publishers through AI-generated answers, or OpenAI training on artists’ work.
I don’t disagree, and I’m not trying to paint all Americans or all Germans with the same brush. The migrants were here legally, and they deserved due process and protections of the Constitution, even as noncitizens, especially their rights to “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness,” which could be interpreted as freedom from undue interference in their way of life and livelihood as legal migrant workers. That’s not to say that they weren’t subject to immigration/border controls, but the system as such was only just becoming formalized when these events occurred. Historically, the southern US/Mexico border was open and not really regulated much at all just years before these events transpired.

The events of World War 2 undertaken by Germany and other countries, individuals, and groups directly influenced the creation of the United Nations, leading to the drafting, approval, and adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, and the later International Bill of Human Rights in 1976. It’s thanks to the United Nations also we have a formal definition of what constitutes genocide.

We’ve come a long way, and have farther still to go, but “we shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice,” Martin Luther King, Jr. said, paraphrasing Theodore Parker. Yet we must also remember the words of John Stuart Mill, often paraphrased and misattributed to Edmund Burke:

“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”
Twitter has been doing that too. Or was. Not sure about x
Awesome. We use a java connector for one of our services, would be interesting to see if he would speed it up by keeping that connection state up.

I've been running a few h3 sites with Nginx 1.25 for a few months, so far no problems and nice when I disconnect WiFi to cell that it keeps the connection. We have a use case for that so been trying to get that in production.
A lot less than they create? Like, if it was a negative return on investment, energy wise, no one would be building wind farms.

Wind turbines produce whole integer MW, which is way more than they cost to make.
I'm not really sure how this is a crime. Can someone explain?
>you didn't need to be well connected to old-money entities or families in order to "win" from.

And this was always a lie. One of the biggest boosters of crypto is Andreesen-Horowitz FFS, and plenty of the rest of the people well known in the industry are just Wall Street Finance bros or dotcom boom lottery winners.
And considering the share price has dropped and considering “Everything is Securities Fraud”* I am also baffled at the lack of completed or slow action.

I think it’s just nudging the wheel that is going away. Attention detection via camera is still in effect for FSD. And it won’t start FSD without being able to see you.

We'll definitely fix the web UI and we're working on a mobile app, but we're focusing our resources on iterating the main concept right now so it's not our main priority.
Since MSX was a standard licensed platform, the machine's internal hardware (CPU, VDP, Sound, RAM) were the same because they needed to all run the same software. This is aside from any expansions or peripherals the manufacturer may have chosen to bundle in the box. In general, such add-ons can usually be added via external cartridge anyway. The other thing would be retrofitting any video mods such as S-Video or component out. As with most 80s machines, that's mostly handled by modern kits you buy online, so you'll just want to check that your chosen machine is compatible with any add-on kit you want to hack into it.

Otherwise the key difference is down to which external form factor, design, colors and keyboard ergonomics you prefer. As for x68k, that's not an all-in-one so it doesn't fit my collecting profile. So, I know little about it (though I'd certainly love to have one anyway). It's a pity I was selective in my profile because I acquired my collection in the late 90s when most of these machines were free or near-free. :-) As it is, I managed to get clean, complete, working examples of every Commodore, Atari, Sinclair, Amstrad, Dragon, Thompson, Radio Shack, etc that were all-in-one - as well as most of the MSX machines and many clones and one-offs. Well over a hundred unique models and I never paid more than $20 + shipping for any of them. In fact, I haven't acquired any retro computers in the last 20 years since my collection was already complete by then. :-)
What? Every car can automatically change lanes, automatically merge into traffic, automatically exit to an off-ramp, automatically go around a round-about, etc? I think there may be a language barrier here because most cars/trucks I see on the road cannot automatically do any of these things.
And if (when) they do, are they prepared for the court case for driving without due care and attention if there's a crash?
An odd article. Their previous work hits a lot of the same notes. But the selective transparency on the methods - for instance, only briefly describing how they arrived at these "taboo conclusions" - suggests they're more interested in stirring the pot and keeping these assertions circulating under the guise of suppressed science. (My mistake, they relocated the pilot study to supp mat, but it is not reassuring to read.)

"A vocal minority and silent majority may have created a seemingly hostile climate against taboo conclusions and the scholars who forward them, even if the silent majority has great contempt for the vocal minority. Future research should test these possibilities more directly."

This kind of editorializing feels out of place and very revealing. This retraction is perhaps indicative of the general quality of the work as well:

That's an SEC investigation and not a class action lawsuit. The latter usually tends to be much more punishing (specifically, where the class is the people that literally paid for FSD/Autopilot). The SEC will fine TSLA like $2M if anything at all (big whoop, and I doubt the criminal investigation will go anywhere).
I have seen people on Hacker News earnestly suggest 24/7 VR for the elderly as a way to stave off dementia. If OpenAI wants to touch a dataset this radioactive, I welcome them with open arms and a knowing smile.
In other words - like every other city on Earth, there are "good" neighborhoods and "bad" neighborhoods.

How's it going to help you market/sell, though? Selling is essential.

And if you're a skilled promoter looking to solo found, how likely is it that you know to ask for an app built with TypeScript, Next.js, LiveKit, OpenAI, Whisper, and ElevenLabs?

I'd like it to work USB 1.1 through 3.2, not just Thunderbolt. We have dual role, why aren't we using it? Host side thinks it's talking to a NIC, device side acts like a NIC.
Yes, they don't actually answer the question of how safe SF is. They say that some areas are more safe than others. Is the worst area in SF unsafe at all, or are the absolute numbers (and per capita) actually low? How unsafe? Who should be concerned about doing what, and when?
Last I was there, a Burger King had smashed windows and was serving customers like nothing happened. Didn’t even clean the shards, just put some yellow tape in the area.
Hmmm does the initial landing page with the animations not show a good proof of concept of the product?
A better title for this website might be "Where are crimes reported in SF?" -- it does not help us understand or contextualize how "safe" SF is overall compared to anything else, or even understand the types of crimes reported and whether that impacts your personal safety.
Have you tried FSD vX? is the new Have you tried Linux Mint?
Ok. But it is sarcastic in the Monty Python skit as well, and the argument is being made to the same effect. The same low quality Monty Python joke was in a previous Rome thread I posted in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38765525
I think it’s a fundamental design choice.
It’s a double edged sword for sure, but it’s important.

It allows terminals to respond very quickly because they never need to wait for an entire data structure to download before displaying information.

It’s such a simple protocol that anyone can hack on it (which is a strength and weakness)

Asking to change that, in my mind, is like asking to change how packets move across a network. It’s all byte streams that get treated as structured data higher up on the abstraction layers.

TUI frameworks like the ones from charm.sh are built atop the base protocol and provide support for structured data much like how our network stack works. That way, as you were saying, application programmers don’t need to worry too much about the underlying “wire protocol”

The issue isn’t that terminals are stream-native or that they operate on byte codes instead of characters.

The problem is lack of standardization of said codes. Which leads to a mountain of edge cases in supporting every known terminal.
That’s the cruft, not the minimal protocol
It’s just that bots haven’t been good enough yet. With the new LLM tech they can pretty much pass every hurdle you’ll throw at them. Even if you require people to show up in person, they’ll do that but then run a bot the rest of the time in their account.

I am sure that LLMs and bots will be able to fool many people on HN and run “rings” around dang’s ring detection software, in about 5 years. It’s a gameable metric, after all.

They were already able to do it on 4chan in 2020 with just GPT3! And the most impactful thing is users started accusing each other of being bots! It literally enshittified the whole forum overnight:

You're not wrong. Media codecs are a good attack vector. However, it's not so simple. You need hand crafted SIMD to reach desired performance. That is a whole area of specialized theory and research. I think it should be done, but who is going to fund it?
Glad to hear this.

ffmpeg is one of these "Too Important to Fail" libraries.

I'll lay odds that billions of dollars rely on it, and it's an open-source tool.
I've been wanting to change to a programming career for a long time, but AI taking all the jobs does worry me.

But also... what else could I pivot to instead that doesn't also have the same problem?
The list of crimes counted includes: ...Larceny Theft, Malicious Mischief, Assault, Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Fraud, Lost Property, Warrant, Drug Offense, Robbery, Missing Person and more.

It doesn't seem like "Warrant" (someone with a warrant is apprehended?), "Missing Person", or "Drug Offense" are relevant to general safety.

The author concludes with:

We notice this more when analyzing the heatmap of incidents. Incidents across Mission are much more spread out than incidents across Tenderloin. Therefore, it's unfair to say that the neighborhoods are equally dangerous.

I am not sure why it is not fair to say the neighborhoods are equally dangerous! Notably, the author does not tell us what it is fair to say. What does the degree of dispersion tell us about which one is more dangerous?
I like the hyper focus on a niche. You'll get negative feedback here from some as it's subscription, but the alternative is a $50 one time purchase that people will dislike too.

One note, I am on 14.5. I just downloaded, then had a screen asking me to give permission my Developer Library folder. I granded/added access, and the app crashed on me. It seems to persistently crash when I try to re-open now as well.
I wonder what's the mechanism for having people not discuss crime as they see fit. Is it only the free press doing tabooing?
Yes to all of those. Adaptive cruise control. Lane change assist. Auto braking. Automatic exits. This stuff has been standard for many years now, and every major brand is touching L2/L3 autonomy. Manufacturers just don't market it as "autopilot" or "fully self driving", because that's not what it is.

The reason, imo, was the acquisition by Zoom and apparent total abandonment of the project.
And just as fast? The issue here is how do you do these things both accurately and while maintaining reasonable speeds.
Over optimistic claims aren't at all exclusive to Tesla though... If anything we should take all claims with 10 grains of salt...
Python strings are Unicode, not utf8, at least until encoding time. At which point they become bytes.
If your project is amenable to it, it's possible to wrap ffmpeg in a gvisor (runsc) docker container and greatly reduce the risk.
How much time is this saving you? I’m not seeing how this is worth a recurring subscription cost. Does this do more than simple bash script would?
Good paper on UTF-8 validation performance: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.03090

The relatively simple algorithm (lookup) can be several times faster than conventional algorithms at a common task using nothing more than the instructions available on commodity processors. It requires fewer than an instruction per input byte in the worst case.
That was an error in HN's dupe detector (a failure case of the software). Fixed now.
Always dreaded having to explain things like the thumbs up emoji or ship it squirrel to regulators, auditors, compliance and how that technically meets the change policy definition of “approved by senior technology leadership in writing on a ticket” if they put it on a release request or PR.
I don’t think it’s suboptimal at all. (How many bytes does it take to change the color of a single word in the terminal protocols vs the web for example)

It’s literally a wire protocol.

It’s minimal and designed to be easily abstracted away.

The suboptimal part is the lack of standardization.
I've watched a notable decline in Reddit content quality the past few years. Obvious engagement farming posts that I didn't used to see. A low quality jpeg of a character from the TV show the reddit is about, titled "who else agrees this character is the worst!" People just asking open-ended questions because it'll get everyone commenting, even if the question isn't very interesting.

I have to assume because of the growing phenomenon of Reddit being the only valuable results returned from Google, it's becoming more valuable for companies to astroturf Reddit content that will appear in Google. So there must be either bot-run accounts, or some kind of business of karma farming to later sell off accounts with karma that won't get flagged for spam when they start endlessly posting about how great [PRODUCT] is.
GPT-4o is multi-modal but probably fully dense like GPT-2, unlike GPT-4t which is semi-sparse like GPT-3. Which would imply GPT-4o has fewer layers to achieve the same number of parameters and same amount of transformations.
There is something terribly ironic about Apple ruining your disk with Xcode, making another developer write the solution for it, then taking 15% of their profits when they try to sell the program (presumably to pay for Apple's annual developer fee).

There is nothing new under the sun on Mac.
Is "profit motive" that different than "survival motive"?
