Ah your mistake was going for ROS 2 which is by any objective metric a complete trainwreck compared to ROS 1. Am a maintainer for a package in both, AMA.

The move_base stack in ROS 1 was pretty bad overall, but if you made your own navigation it ran really well and was pretty bulletproof as a middleware for the most part (changing network conditions ahem ahem). Nav2 in ROS 2 is better, but it's really hard to tell because the DDS is so unreliable and rclpy is so slow that it's usually impossible to tell why it's only working half the time for no reason. Defaults are bad and pitfalls are everywhere. Incidentally this makes the entire thing unreliable even if you implement your own stuff so.. yeah. We'll see if Zenoh fixes any of this when it's finally out and common sense prevails over DDS cargo culting. Personally I'm not entirely convinced we won't see a community fork of Noetic gain some popularity after it's EoL.

There is some effort to add Rust support, but it's just a community effort because OpenRobotics is completely understaffed. Google bought them and then they sort forgot they exist. There's only like 4 core devs in total. That's mainly why they're treating python as a second class citizen.

A better understanding of the deep underlying structure behind the business problems can be a step towards proving business value. Or it can be interesting to a small number of people, but completely useless.

Of course, the people to whom it is interesting think that the case they're interested in is almost certainly in the "providing business value" category. In their enthusiasm, they probably over-estimate the odds...
Interesting that you seem to consider Zig a pioneer in comptime templating, when, as other commenter mentioned, D has been doing that for two decades.

As far as I can tell, D's templates and CTFE are as powerful as Zig's comptime (not sure if they're exactly equivalently powerful, but if they're not, the difference is not very large in practice or I'm pretty sure I would've noticed).

Show HN: 27 year old launches his 8th SaaS. Seeks feedback
Hey HN! Amine here, a 27-year-old developer who launched his first SaaS 4 years ago. I'm today launching my 8th SaaS called Dymolab and asking for feedback.

I built a tool called Dymolab where you can create interactive demos of your apps and share them with your potential customers or embed them on your website.

Please feel free to give your feedback.

> People with asperger syndrome need guidance to navigate the world, while traditionally autistic people need to be taken care of, why lump both together with a single term

One of the reasons is that autism was recognized to belong to a spectrum. It is not a boolean (you have aspergers or you have not, you have autism or not). It is, to keep with the metaphor, a bunch of stats expressed in floats. To what degree are you unable to filter external stimuli? How can you handle social situations? What about social cues? And so on.

The binary classification came with lots of issues.

Another issue was that Hans Asperger was funded by the Nazi regime, and protected intelligent children, while allowing other children to be "euthanized". So there was pressure to remove the actual name too.

If you still need a binary classification, I believe "high functioning" and "low functioning" are still in use.
Hmmm.

I respect your position. I am going to push against a few errors made on my part.

Social engineering was used incorrectly by me. I should have said marketing and sales. You cannot switch to something you find uninteresting, much less something you feel is in opposition to your values.
While I agree with you to an extent, this is not a very good way to check actual in-store prices. Most grocery stores charge a different rate for products that are delivered or even curbsided than they do if you go to the store and buy it yourself. This is true even if you go directly vs. going through an intermediary like DoorDash.

I live in coastal CA and the cheapest eggs at my local market are $3.49/dozen. Trader Joes and Costco are closer to $2.20/dozen if you just want plain white eggs. The moment you go organic, the cheapest is Costco at about $4/dozen.

Edit: Just to be clear, at Costco you buy 2 dozen rather than 1 and I've divided the price to a single dozen.

Linux uses GPL 2.x. If we are talking about GPL 3.x things may be different:

When things get bad enough, the market finds a way. People may decide that owning in a recently less desirable area (e.g. Detroit) outweighs renting in a more desirable one.
I'm not an expert in this area, but a friend who is into anime said that the company that the rights to these series are being sold to is owned/operated by the same guy that made many of them. So he felt that in this case we were lucky that this is almost "Gainax went bankrupt and sold their properties to Gainax".

Again, I'm not an expert so I can't verify, but this seems like one case where maybe things are ending up alright.

How accurate do you think humans are? 100%? 80%? 20%?

If LLMs can be 20% as accurate as humans, the use cases are infinite. And it can only go up.

Printed pages done by HP printers running spyware or by customers not smart enough to see through HP's predatory business practices are down 20% since more people were forced to handle their own printing logistics.

> See 'Friends'...living in a million dollar loft in NYC while working as a barista.

I see this comment everywhere and it irks me. Here's my point-by-point, obsessed-fan's rebuttal:

1. It isn't a loft. It's an unusually large apartment.

2. It's explained on the show that it's a rent-controlled sublet illegally inherited from a grandmother of one of the characters. The illegality of the situation is a key plot point in one of the episodes.

3. It's obviously easier to shoot on a larger set than a smaller one. It isn't hard to suspend your disbelief on a fairly minor point. Would it have been a better show if they had shot it on a smaller set purely to satisfy people who want realism?

4. The size of the set is irrelevant to the storylines and characters. The characters don't otherwise live lavishly or appear to spend out of proportion to their income.

5. All but one of the main characters lives with a roommate or romantic partner throughout the entire show's run.
Well, HDPE would be way easier to manufacture there.

But people on your link are mostly unanimous:

"Quite often the caps are the weakest point.
And as mentioned above HDPE bottles tend to sweat over time.
I would vote against long time storage (years on end) of sulfuric acid in HDPE bottles."
Part of me wonders if the recruiting itself is over-engineered anyway. I mean, imagine if you just asked:

Implement Bubble Sort, in 2 Languages of your choice, with multithreading or other language-provided parallelism, with the correct number of parallel threads to be most algorithmically efficient

Would that really not weed out a lot of people? I think it would. I know the above algorithm is hardly production-ready, but the requirements are easy to understand. (It's also a bit of a trick question - there is no optimal algorithmically efficient number of threads in a bubble sort, only the number of CPU cores in the system.)
Evangelion is almost 30 years old. The fact that they can't name a newer hit anime for them is the problem. I don't know about the economics but from a creative standpoint the anime industry seems quite healthy having recently produced a lot of great shows like Sousou no Frieren, Oshi no Ko, and Konosuba Season 3 in the last year or so.
Work on automating as much of your job as possible - not only will this allow you to learn & put those skills into practice, but it'll free up more of your time to pursue other opportunities, whether it's searching for a better job or freelancing.

I get good results with a plain old slow cooker. The low setting is between 190F and 200F or so. Not ideal but works well enough for me. There is a warm setting but that's lower than 170F. Ideally they should really have a simmer setting at exactly 175F-185F like you said.
Becoming a medical professional is very expensive; tuition often going into the six-figures. Becoming a physician takes a good decade or more of your life. The entry process is very competitive and limited, with majority of applicants being rejected. IIRC the acceptance rates are below 50%. Once a person clears those hurdles however, they are now faced with a torrential abuse of corruption, racism, fraud, elitism, favoritism, etc. that they must overcome.

Much of the medical field is like this unfortunately, it's not just doctors. Take for example this article about Duke's Nursing School and racism: https://archive.is/DIJ98. From what I've heard through third-party, corruption at Duke is at an all-time high. This is just the stuff we hear about too, so I'm sure these problems affect all of the top-tier colleges that nobody reports so they don't get ejected from these programs.

Shame jwz plays that referrer trick on people with the HN referrer - I was looking forward to an HN discussion about his criticisms of Google.
nit: 8.2% over 4 years is 1.99% per year (multiplicative, not additive).

I think the ultimate problem is that regardless of the system-legible numbers looking great, it's ultimately just a paperclip optimizer that doesn't reflect people's day to day experiences. There's another article on the front page about "economic termites" and I think that doesn't even capture the full extent of the problem because it's still narrowly focused on prices. Whereas what is happening is that every business with a captive market (which is basically every business these days, after decades of mergers running amok and regulatory capture red tape) is spreadsheet-optimizing into an ever-worse customer experience.
> Mental health conditions are often caused by physiological imbalance that is socially constructed. Deficits in sleep, nutrition, exercise, introspection, and other pillars of good mental health do not occur in the vacuum, they are produced by how we live.

Yes. Asking someone to "exercise" or "eat better" is just addressing the symptoms. The underlying issue is stress (which is not always "socially constructed").
It may not be a satisfying answer, but it is a correct one.

The comparison to the underpinnings of human cognition are not really valid, because regardless of the underlying substrate, human beings are indeed building mental models of reality itself via sensory input, so even if human minds and LLMs operated on the exact same process of inference (which we cannot state with confidence is true), then human minds would be generating inferences based on correlations of actual empirical experience, whereas LLMs are only building correlations between words, regardless of what empirical reality those words may or may not correspond to.

So all else being equal, human minds are modeling reality, while LLMs are modeling another model.
> Capitalism requires consumers.

I disagree with that premise. For certain businesses it's fundamentally true, and right now it's broadly true because of the limitations of our technology, but I don't think it's fundamentally true for capitalism.

If the AGI hype pans out, I think we'd see an transition into an economy with a lot fewer consumers. The capitalists would eventually amass all the valuable resources for themselves, and the positive externality that currently drives the consumer economy (the need for labor to make use of capital) would run down and eventually die. Then you'd have a small cadre of elites who own the automation and the resources, and use them chiefly for vanity projects and maybe some B2B activity between themselves (e.g. electricity sales), a small somewhat larger cadre of "middle class" providing luxury/vanity goods to the core elite (e.g. high end prostitutes, Mars colonists), and a great mass of economically useless people living at the margins.

> Ergo, to keep the wheels turning, either everyone is going to have to become an artisan, or UBI is going to have to be a thing.

So the former won't work because artists can't feed themselves by trading art among themselves, and the latter's not necessary because an Elon Musk focused on personal vanity projects doesn't need consumers, he just needs resources an an AGI bureaucracy with AGI robots to command around.
Ranking of Kings is the underrated gem people need to go and watch. And is my pick for best anime of the last 5ish years.

Its a bit of a shonen, but hitting shonen tropes isn't necessarily a bad thing. And Ranking of Kings does it in a relatively fresh way, and absolutely nails the "Brothers Grimm" style to fairy-tale magic and lore. (Yes, kid-friendly on the surface, but then deep blood-magic involving the grinding of bones and drinking of blood to infuse deep magicks into the story and lore). Bonus points that the battle scenes are done by the venerated Studio Wit.

-------

With regards to Gainax: their last big hit was Gurren Lagaan in 2007 IMO. But even Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 was Studio Khara, not Gainax.

You're not wrong, but Gurren Lagaan is a great work, even if all those particular animators left Gainax shortly afterwards and started Studio Trigger. Most people consider Gurren Lagaan to be Studio Trigger for some reason but remember that group was still technically employed by Gainax when Gurren Lagaan came out.

Anecdotes are mixed. Here's one from me:
See multiple PA's at E
endocrinology office,
test results indicate hyperthyroidism,
they all say no that's just barely above normal (it was actually significantly higher),
wait months between appointments,
after nearly a year force an appointment with the actual doctor,
"yep you have hyperthyroidism, let's get the drugs you need to live, I don't know how they missed that".
Mind you the PAs worked under that same doctor. So had it not been for patient effort to read and interpret test results, things would still be getting worse. Some PAs are great, some are not. Same as doctors, same as patients self testing and diagnosing.

One of the characters "inherited" it from her grandmother (read: the grandmother's name is still on the lease and the landlord was never notified) so the original lease was probably signed a long time before the show's timeline begins. Since rent control limits rent annual increases, that means they're paying well below market rent.
