Turns are pretty common, you know. And the article said that even in their dataset, level 4 autonomous vehicles were twice as likely to get into an accident at a turn as a human driver.

The article—and the repository for the dataset—are also pretty vague on just what the conditions were for the autonomous vehicles being measured. Were they being kept in areas that their manufacturers know is safe and within their capability to drive well? Were they being taken out on arbitrary roads? Back roads? Dirt roads?

The article doesn't mention snow. Were they being driven in the snow at all? When the lines on the road—and even the whole road itself—are covered with a uniform sheet of white, barely any markers to indicate where there's road and where there isn't?

Were they being driven in construction zones, where you're explicitly asked to drive across and outside of the lines?

I'm very well aware that once self-driving cars are able to handle arbitrary conditions like this even as well as an average human, they'll be amazing and save many people from serious injury and death. I'm genuinely looking forward to a future where I can get in the car and tell it where I want to go, then relax the whole way—not least because I know that one day, I'll very likely be frail enough not to be able to safely drive myself anymore.

However, I'm deeply skeptical that so-called level 4 autonomous vehicles are truly capable of all this without a human driver at this point in time.
Idk; we don't live in the cdrom world any more, it was replaced by high speed internet. The rest of this comment thread seems to answer as if we are asking this question today; and not in 1994 when 56k modems were still a thing and cds were routinely mailed.

I brought my CT scans on disc to my ortho who didn't have a CT machine in the last 300 days.
> our "free democracies" can't rush fast enough to put the boot to everyone's neck all the time

You're saying this in respect of a bill that has repeatedly failed. Yes, the authoritarian pressure is real. But it only wins if this attitude takes root.

Article like this are why I keep coming back to HN: I was using an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) for a similar task but this LED idea is fascinating. It would have never occurred to me!
Why are they referring to this as a "data breach"? That makes it sound like they were hacked. What happened is that they deliberately published a document that had "Confidential" in the title and was marked as "Private" throughout the document on their website for any visitor to access.
Rest assured, their investors are aligned and their business model guarantees only the safest for-profit commercial aspirations.
Because Americans earn way more money than the average person elsewhere. It‘s really just that simple.
Walking helped me but exercises to strengthen the core are what really solved it. Incredible recovery tbh.
Not sure why this gets downvoted? Certainly a lot of money goes into failed drugs?
Caveat: I'm approaching this from a 'indie hacker' mindset. The article mentions $10 million funding rounds, so they're probably approaching this from a different mindset.

The article distinguishes between a product business and a service business. In the former, the founders find a problem, build a solution, and then sell that solution to people who have the problem. In the latter, the founders find people who have a problem, and then build a solution for that problem.

In a product business, the risk is that you solve the wrong problem. In a service business, the risk is that you never find a problem to solve.

I used to be a schoolteacher, in schools where teachers tended to be on the verge of retirement. Most of my colleagues used computers because one day their typewriter had been taken away and a computer put in its place. Their technology use tended to be quite basic: emails and basic word processing. Most workflows were unchanged since the typewriter and mimeograph days. Almost all planning was still done on paper, on especially-printed planning books. (We were individually asked whether we wanted week-to-a-page or day-to-a-page when the stationery order was being prepared for the next school year.)

(Lesson planning is not a problem to be solved; I'm just using it as an example of the kind of mindset I was working alongside.)

This is a problem-rich environment filled with people who don't know that many of their problems can be solved by computers. You can't ask these people what problems they want solved, because they don't know that their problems can be solved. You have to have something to show them and point to and talk about before they can grasp the idea that it's even possible to automate some of their work.

However, I speak from a position of privilege. I spent years working in that environment, and I walked away with a list of problems - a list of potential products. If you've only worked in software, you won't know any good problems. You'll know some bad problems, and they'll be bad because your potential customers - other software engineers - are just as capable of building their own solutions as you. In that case, a service business is probably no more risky than a product business.

If you start a product business, your moat is the insider knowledge you have of how to solve the problem you solve. If you start a service business, your moat is your reputation for solving people's problems. If you have no insider knowledge, you start your business with no moat at all, and have to dig it while building your castle, whereas the founder with inside knowledge just has to build their castle within their pre-dug moat.
Talk to me when they can reliably cover upstate NY in winter and construction season.
I don't know about a percentage of households I know, but I do know of several households with literally zero means to play back any physical media. No DVD or Blu-ray players, cars don't have CD players, no computers with optical drives, no game consoles, only maybe a Switch for a game console.

I imagine it's still far from most, but it's definitely starting to be a thing.
More than half of all gun deaths are suicide related. The US is middle of the pack in suicides per capita, which I interpret to mean removing all guns would not significantly reduce suicide per capita.

Also death by alcohol impacts more than just the dead person. There is massive emotional and economic impacts. There is lost time and productivity by both the dead guy and survivors. For the sake of economic wellbeing we need to out law any and all things that raise the cost of healthcare.

Everyone should be required to join Government or healthcare provided zoom meetings where we are all watched exercising in unison.
Someone shortened the original title, removing a word after “an” which had caused the need for “an” rather than “a”.

In other words, the title was shortened incorrectly.
I think doing this analysis against possibly the most commercially viable class of drugs ever created may lead to misleading conclusions.
The whole fucking point of E2EE is that you use it with a service which does not try to circumvent it. Find an XMPP server or - better still - install one yourself and point Conversations (Android) or Gajim/Dino (desktop) at it. Configure those clients to use OMEMO and you'll keep the authorities and other nosy malcontents out.
AI should be re-acronymed to mean Algorithmic Insights. artificial intelligence is akin to a ziplock bag doing algebra with no external interactions
> as long as the page loads with the same content as before. Which is easy with htmx and very hard to impossible with dynamic content

For example to implement an infinite scroll, you can use the htmx DSL to load additional rows like this: https://htmx.org/examples/infinite-scroll/

If I did this with react, I can use a session storage caching plugin, so how do you prevent the chain of load events on history back and page refresh with htmx?

Now you are looking at service workers...

I mean with a bit of extra JS and some additional APIs, nothing is strictly impossible but it's often that you go back to the architecture board when you are working with it.

I don't dislike it though, not even close. React (and other similar tools) has (have) a place, so does htmx.
Your link says Novo earned 12B total in net profit not just from Ozempic. It seems like most of Novo's profits do not come from Ozempic so the profit from Ozempic would be substantially lower.
Haha, fine, guilty as charged :)

I think I was in a mood at the time, then I wondered where it was published and particularly surprised to see "CNN Business".
This is nonsense, doctors routinely order scans from other doctors or hospitals who have equipment and then view the results.
They are? Biotech VC is bigger than tech VC in volume invested and most biotech companies that IPO do so with zero revenue to fund clinical trials. It’s only gotten bigger after COVID.
> I wrote "forced", because companies like Adobe use their dominant position to override legal frameworks developed to protect intellectual property and client-creator contracts in order to grab content that is not theirs to train models they resell back to the people they stole content from and to subject ourselves to unsupervised, unaccountable policing of content.

Adobe is an obnoxious company that does a lot of bad things, but it's weird to me seeing them cast in a negative light like this for their approach to model training copyright. As far as I know they were the first to have a genAI product that was trained exclusively on data that they had rights to under existing copyright law, rather than relying on a free use argument or just hoping the law would change around them. Out of all the companies who've built AI tooling they're the last one I'd expect to see dragged out as an example of copyright misbehavior.
If it is an ordeal, maybe you are doing something wrong?

Maybe your app sole entry point should not be a systray icon, especially, since users might not have systray at all (intentionally).

You will have similar issue with Android, and how it handles (persistent) notifications, background tasks and activities in foreground.

Actually many humans (particularly intelligent humans) do care about and appreciate ants and other insects. Plenty of people go out of their way not to harm ants, find them fascinating to observe, or even study them professionally as entomologists. Human attitudes span a spectrum.

Notice also the key driver of human behavior towards ants is indifference, not active malice. When ants are obliterated, it's usually because we're focused on our own goals and aren't paying attention to them, not because we bear them ill will. An ASI would have far greater cognitive resources to be aware of humans and factor us into its plans.

Also humans and ants lack any ability to communicate or have a relationship. But humans could potentially communicate with an ASI and reach some form of understanding. ASI might come to see humans as more than just ants.
If you can't define consciousness how can you define good enough? Good enough is just a lazy way to exit the conversation.

Llms appear to reason because they captured language with reason already in it, rather than producing language because of reason.
Oh this is fun :) I knew LEDs and microphones could be used as light sensors (and vice-versa), but I would never know the specifics of how to do it. I appreciate this.

What other sensors/emitters can be reversed this way?
> Seller has a temporary monopoly on some drugs via the government -controlled patent system.

That's the problem, it gives them a government enforced monopoly with no responsibility or obligation.

Patents should expire after a certain amount of profit is made from them, or come with some level of responsibility to use them for the public good.
same overall probability of adverse events in both groups, but the nature of adverse events reported differed between the two.
Any B2B vertical where customer ACV is less than $10k per year.

If the vertical has affiliated trade organizations when you go to their events, you’ll find either very few VC-backed startups or none at all.

The competition will be mainly service businesses without software chops. Sell cheap automation and price sensitive customers will move to your solution.
That is accounted for here:

> Let’s 4x that to include the cost of drugs that never go to market.

Also, that's a hugely generous multiplier. IANA pharma marketer, but I'm fairly confident that if a drug is ultimately unsuccessful, it's cut off long before the 3b mark. Not saying that the investment isn't substantial, but it's not like they have millions of doses produced/distributed before they discover that it's ineffective.
You're right but word of caution, go easy with advice from things like Stronglifts that claim squats & deadlifts will solve any back problems. They will throw out your back faster than lifting a fridge out of your trunk.

Body weight exercises are much safer and imo better at solving back issues than moving 30Kg of metal around

You can already have it in Delta with Delta Rust and Python bindings: https://github.com/delta-io/delta-rs
I was put off by Deno because of the way it handles dependencies. I didn't understand why I had to use URLs instead of `npm i`. Also not a big fan of the permissions flags when running a command. Explicit declaration for every single permission was very annoying.

Bun has better speed and great documentation. And they're shipping new features very fast.
If only there were some document where you share whether or not you would be open to feedback on how you came off. That would save someone the trouble of asking and wasted time if it's a no.
When a drug addict gets out of a successful stint in rehab (many aren't), they aren't then required to keep doing drugs, just less.

Cold turkey doesn't work for food, and it especially doesn't work when everything about the modern American's lifestyle is optimized towards sedentarism and calorie-dense food over-consumption.
If Europe makes several more blockbusters at the expense of the US pharma industry, I'd expect to see American price regulation take hold. Prices are unregulated because American pharma companies benefit disproportionately from this arrangement.
I've found anything that puts the spine in tension (hanging by hands or hips) helps with spinal pain. 'leaf pose' from acro yoga's especially great for my partner and I (YMMV)

As a non-native i thought that op meant is it correct to use "walking intervention" instead of just "walking".
Cancer research is already wildly profitable as companies simply adjust the price according to the expected number of cases annually.

It's not like you're going to take your time and shop around when you have a potentially terminal illness.

Plenty of controversy around that, but the point is that there's always going to be enough money for cancer research, as it's one of the pillars of modern high life expectancies.
And when a cve is found everyone yells and says why doesn't someone rewrite it in rust. It is freakishly huge, and the tests and fuzzing are very good at this point. I do wonder if there isn't a subset of the functionality that is used much more frequently that we could RiR.
Reaching your hand into an oven (for some reason), you not only care about how far it is into the over, its position, you also care about how long it's been at its current position.
Sorry but with the greatest respect all the iterations of this question are starting to old. There are unlimited applications of AI within ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. If people aren't using AI applications or the unending applications within the chat interfaces it's because a fear of technology is stopping them. It's not the technology, it's the people at this point
"Concurrently" is a nodejs library for running more than one task at once, it's necessary if you want to build Typescript and Tailwind with one call to `npm run build`, for example.

It's kind of a PITA to use, and just calling a Bun script is better.
VC investors are not the only investors. If developing a medicine was so guaranteed, the total returns of pharma stocks (all of them) would reflect that.

If the above poster is correct, then one should be able to invest all their money in just pharma stocks, and make a killings.

But you wouldn’t. You can’t pick the winners after the fact and claim the risk wasn’t there.
Not OP, but this thread has many anecdotes about what has worked for folks (bodyweight specifically): https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/wcm34h/w...

In my own experience, the three best things for reducing lower back pain were losing weight, squats, and crunches. The weight (~300 lbs to ~240 lbs) of course was the biggest thing to get me from "rarely I can't even stand up from bed easily" to "rarely do I ever get lower back pain".

I am putting together a computer vision dataset for detection, identification, classification and counting for cattle herds of Indian breeds, which are the strength of Brazilian livestock farming [where there are still a lot of cattle in free-range pastures]. The dataset will also be useful for monitoring illegal livestock farming in protected areas, such as the Amazon. The scarcity of images of these types of cattle on the Internet, where European varieties are prevalent, forces me to negotiate with local farmers to fly my drones in order to obtain the images. It's not an easy job. Most are confrontational and hostile. I move forward with great difficulty but I will not give up. Soon at cownt.com.br.

Edited for clarity.
Your understanding is not (entirely) up to date. At some point they switched to downloading only a list of (partial) hashes. If an URL matches a partial hash then the browser asks Google for a lists of URLs for that hash. This does can let google get some information about what websites you visit. And those requests as well as the updates of the initial hash lists still ping Google with all the tracking posibilities that entails.
I appreciate the kind words. A lot of painstaking work went into aesthetics.

The Stripe integration launched a few days ago, so the app is very much in the red. Paid advertising since the initial release six months ago has shown promising signs from prospective customers though.
Novo Nordisk has been the one funding GLP-1 research since the 1990s. It got started manufacturing insulin in the 1920s so that kind of research was right up its alley. It’s controlled by a charitable foundation too.

Sadly they’ve got a strong claim to being the ones responsible for the basic research here, which is exceedingly rare in pharma. Their latest drugs like Ozempic are the result of decades long research.
Pre-Scheme is one more path to moving away from low level programming being done on top of directly programmed C for one thing, and the revival effort directly ties in by moving Pre-Scheme to be on top of r7rs, an open standard. This opens up Pre-Scheme to a variety of other ecosystems that NLnet already invests in, including Guix, Mes, and Guile, which have put a lot of efforts into secure and highly reproducible (and indeed bootstrappable) computing. There's definitely some ties in with security and security-oriented communities NLnet already funds, and this project directly works towards moving towards a more standardized approach, leading to hopefully broader adoption.
The way they treat these people is sickening. Have they received promised compensation, yet? Have their convictions been annulled?

Extended periods of sitting are in general is your enemy.

Many people in the US wake up, sit at the kitchen table to eat breakfast (well probably more skip this compared to the past), walk to their car, sit in the car for 20-50 minutes, walk to their office workspace, sit for another 8 hours with few standing/walking breaks, walk to car, sit again for commute home, then sit on the sofa until bedtime.

This is so unhealthy, and it shows in body shape and illnesses.
This is my understanding. It's a cool idea but it seems like it will always cost ~10x more than both actual meat and soy/coconut mixes like Impossible Burger. What's left is a pretty thin market, in my opinion.
If you want billion dollar corporations to pay you then you should probably include a clause "this is free unless you're a billion dollar corporation in which case you have to pay me" in the license.

Ah but then it's not free software and the FSF will frown at you, because billion dollar corporations are people too. Tough luck.
I run three archive warrior instances on virts already. But, yes, that’s a good suggestion. I don’t notice their bandwidth impact at all.

The best cities in Europe are primarily built in the exact same housing configuration as 5-over-1s.

The quintessential Parisian walk up building is basically a 5-over-1.

The only difference is that America has their 5-over-1s built in the middle of heavily car-centric infrastructure, and that America has a majority single family home population that fights against the very idea of multi-unit buildings.

Mozilla deserves some of the blame for misleading users into thinking that Firefox is available on iOS when all they really provide is a Safari reskin.
Then don't choose a super permissive license like BSD/MIT.

I was reading The Wealth Of Nations by Adam Smith recently (1776), and one passage stuck to me: that the regular market works because it is driven by the inherent self-interest and egoism of humans, while only beggars expect to earn a living out of the goodwill of the people.

I love free software, but it makes no sense as a business model. If you want to make money out of free software while avoiding leeches, use a serious license. AGPL3, MPL2.0 or EUPL. The entire ecosystem of permissive licenses is pushed, hard, by companies themselves, and perpetuated by their naive employees. Hence the creation of the corporate-friendly Open Source Initiative (OSI) that has completely eaten the lunch of the FSF.
Well, it could have been somewhat perfect and dust/dirt/debris/shrinkage made it perfect.

Or the temperature dropped enough for it to stop evaporating.
The way those resistors are twisted together makes my heart hurt....

Another fun fact about light and semiconductors is that the first commercial digital camera - the Cromemco Cyclops - used a 32x32 memory ic that used a windowed dip package so the chip was exposed to light. The memory was refreshed to all 1's, and the light would flip them back to 0's with the strongest light flipping the bits the fastest. The times were then parsed and converted to pixel values.
Maybe your comment is correct for say 2023 or 1H 2024, but Ozempic has far from ramped up to full production. Also, Ozempic isn't launched yet in most countries.
It kinda worked, but nobody used it. That was the frustrating thing for me. Had it been integrated directly into X I think it would have stood a much better chance.
Maybe the market for electric cars starts to get saturated, at least for the current state of the technology? There are several criteria that play a role:

- price

- range (even people who make only a few long range trips per year, like me, might be dissuaded if they have to interrupt their trip for a long charging break - or buy a hybrid instead)

- charging availability - if you park your car on the street, you are dependent on public chargers; if you have a shared (underground) parking garage, which is common here in Germany, installing a charger becomes a lot more complicated than for homeowners.
