I have a hunch that Optimus likewise leans heavily upon inverse kinematic modeling. However not using the paper plate tech.

It would be sick if they use a pure vision ML approach to train a heuristic understanding of its own muscles, instead of these fixed rotary encoders which do not account for material deflection, sensor dislodgement, etc. sort of like meta quest player tracking in the SLAM loop.
A system gets reset, what happens in obscure places like old HN content?
If it's neither blocking nor async then it's a completely regular function and you don't even have to call it with spawn blocking, there's nothing that prevent calling a normal function from an async one.

And in the opposite situation, if you call an async function then you are doing IO so your function must be either async or blocking, there's no third way in this direction, so when you're doing IO you have to make a choice: you either make it explicit (and thus declare the function async) or you hide it (by making a blocking call).

A blocking function is just a function doing IO that hides it from the type system and pretend to be a regular function.

There are plenty of benefits to eating red meat. It’s one of if not the most nutritious food we know of.
The first issue is a technical one I think can be solved (think Fediverse-style setups with easily transferable entry into meshes, or multi-mesh joining). N! connections obviously can't be handled so not everything can be connected to everything, but making node transfers fluid and hierarchical with easy swap can make for a robust network. Sort of like how we currently route with DNS + IP4/6, but simpler and broadcasted DNS node provisioning and more flexibility from DNS down to subnetworks. If you can set up an entire mesh node from your cell phone with the click of a button, its sort of hard to shut down an internet. Add decentralized ledger tech (no, not a shitcoin :D) and you have a hard time shutting everything down outside an EMP.

For the second, ease of transition is how to overcome existing network effects. As an example, ADP is bleeding customers to Gusto because they make it so damn easy that the only reason you stay with ADP is because they provide a service (like PEO) that Gusto doesn't yet offer. (plus, less data leakage and sales). You can view Gusto/ADP as B2B providers, but they actually operate as platforms between companies and their employees/contractors and thus the network effect arguments apply. Network effects aren't something to fear or use as an excuse to not build, they're a strategy game.
this is insane and shows how dangerous big tech is, break them up already

Most countries don’t have the pretense of free speech, and media is heavily regulated to be ‘fair’ (which means different things in each country).

Check out r/chipotle - maybe it’s an echo chamber there but it’s a major problem with mobile orders where you don't have an opportunity to sub an ingredient that’s out of stock. Depending on the store, chipotle mobile orders are a “fun” gamble - chipotle needs to fix quality standards across stores at least in my region!

Chipotle is one of the very few businesses I have ever left a google review for because the complaint seems extremely simple to fix. Just stock your store and hire enough people to prep the food!
It sounds like you're accusing Wikipedia of being both too easy to edit ("everyone can write things there") and too restrictive about who can edit ("they don't care about facts... Crap editors and political propaganda.") It sounds like your real criticism is that Wikipedia has biases and won't let you correct them. Can you provide links to some examples of bias on Wikipedia so that we can make up for ourselves how bad this is?

> It is a business. It does not have interests of its own. its owners have interests - in this case its the one owner who has that. Its staff may have interests

You nailed it here: bezos, as the dude who owns the paper has a vested interest in his personal success, whether the paper succeeds or not. If it came down to him or the paper, he would choose himself.

The editorial team, as the people who run the paper and are responsible for its quality, has a vested interest in the success of the paper. They decide what the interests of the paper are.

If bezos goes against the editorial team, that is bezos' interests conflicting with their interests, and thus the paper's interests.
Our society, like all societies, has many imperfect people within it. A malign influence that amplifies our weaknesses can still be criticized and resisted. Yes, a society made up of infallible individuals would not be susceptible, but let’s deal with the reality we have?

> Garnish some large cut of any future earnings.

That already happens. People usually hear about the exceptions where someone has such good connections they fail upwards or sideways, but mostly if you fail at being CEO that's the last job you'll ever have. You can't really drop back down to being an IC at that level, and if you get fired from the CEO role then it's very hard to get another one. You're basically self employed or retired from that point on, which is why CEOs demand such high compensation.

Examples of CEOs who failed and then never got another real job:

- Marissa Mayer. Not even clear Yahoo!'s failure was her fault, but after she stopped being their CEO she had to make her own no-name startup and has been there ever since.

- Carly Fiorina. Fired from HP in 2005, never worked in a corporate executive role again. Had a few board memberships but switched into non-profit and politics.

- Steve Ballmer. Early retirement in 2013 aged 58 after saying he planned to stay until at least 2018. Post-MS he did some philanthropy but hasn't worked.

- John Sculley. Fired from Apple in 1993, never worked as a corporate executive again although he did have a good career as a tech investor, board member and the like.

- Ellen Pao. After being exited from Reddit she never worked as a corporate executive again, instead spending time on non-profit feminist advocacy.

- Tony Hayward. After the Deepwater Horizon disaster he was fired from BP and has had no executive positions since.

There are lots more examples like this. Failure at the CEO level is usually failure for life, so like in professional sports that pushes up the comp people demand to take the job, as if they get booted out they need enough saved resources to last a long time.

And the volcanos errupt (read: it's what they do), spew dust and such into the atmosphere, and that cools things down. Mother Nature is smart.

That aside, the planet's behavior has ebbs and flows. This eco-chaos spans hundreds of thousands to millions of years. There are few if any patterns. To that point, historically the climate has always been changing; and temperature: it's either trending up or down (but it is not static).
I don’t think that reversals meaningfully tell us anything that answers the question we are engaging in. At best they are a small piece of the equation.
'Coddling' and 'Canceling': A Tale of Two Titles
I quoted the bit I wanted to react to, namely the idea that businesses have to give customers what they want. I read that as strongly influenced by an economically driven - rather than morally driven - world view.

Leaving money on the table does not necessarily mean a failing business, except for some extreme definition of 'failing'.

Since I am not in any eurozone, I am outside of Interpol's reach, and even if I am enemy #1 in Liechtenstein no one would care. Interpol is still bound by international law and budget constraints. An arrest warrant looks fine and scary when issued by another country but extradition costs money even when there are agreements in place. I might be some minor value as a trading token between my locale and Liechtenstein, so my game to beat is to be more valuable to my locale than as a trading pawn. That's a pretty easy target.

There's support in that Trump personally met with Blue Origin's C-suite, on the same day the Washington Post spiked their Harris endorsement—an apparent reward to Bezos, and one that put his business interests in the spotlight.

So lets unpack here :

You take the struggle of a region and turn it into a religious struggle (The indigenous movement in the 90's was your username.substring(2) movement), smartly the "majority" there drives out the "minority" and enjoys capture of their properties (oh just a few hundred people who moved out you know, they will not return.). Sadly, you also have the audacity to say only 200 of that minority

Blame it on the Governor (look ma..., a central government appointee did it, was not us). Super convenient. We were just informing peace loving friends from across the border where our neighbours lived. I was there and so I know

As Mahatma Gandhi said, the progress of a state is how it treats its minorities. Guess you made good "progress" treating them "....well...."
“Haunted” still implies that the problem exists at the house/domain, and can be fixed there. But a domain being blacklisted is not something which a domain owner can fix by themselves, they have to beg the blacklister to de-list them.

Because most of those that I have learned were bad at onboarding, and you do get sick of it after a while. I've improved no less than 25 projects' README's (sadly all private / corporate so I can't even advertise myself that way) by removing 50 lines of semi-useless prose and replacing them with 2 paragraphs 4 lines each and one small code block as a usage example.

So TL;DR -- because most programmers can't describe a use-case if their lives depended on it.

The fight to keep your thoughts private [video]
It’s been over a hundred years since scientists discovered how to record the electrical signals from our brains. But recent advances in AI have made it so that these noisy signals are now increasingly intelligible.

Brain-reading devices anyone can buy on the internet can decipher your moods, your focus, and in the not so distant future, maybe even the words you are thinking.

And they are loosely regulated, if at all.

Such advances carry incredible promise for medicine, wellness, and consumer electronics. But they could also usher in a dystopian future where our thoughts are no longer our own.

In recent years, a growing group of scientists, lawyers, and ethicists have been trying to come up with a legal framework to steer these innovations in a way that respects fundamental human rights.

Will they be able to agree on a way forward - and get politicians onside - before it's too late?

Hard disagree. The internet has been WILDLY transformative.

I mean look at what we’re doing right now on HN.

IIRC Twitter was a big part of the Arab spring.

Politics have been warped around it as most political discourse now takes place online.

There are so many examples of society all over the world warping and changing due to comparatively unfettered access to global information.

It’s crazy to say the internet wasn’t at least as transformative as automobiles or planes.

Just because it didn’t directly change the physical world doesn’t mean is wasn’t transformative.
Bulk no. Tyres are apparently only 19% natural rubber. Slightly more is synthetic, and the rest… well none of it is good ground up on roads then breathed in. I lived for a while next to a moderately busy road. Feck it was filthy even with windows never open.

Even my mountain bike tyres now contain graphene which doesn't sound like a good idea for the sake of an unnoticeable improvement, and prob only as a racer. Seems a case of new jargon selling more. So they keep adding new compounds.
Let's assume you're right, and there's 3.5 grams of plastic in your brain (there isn't, but let's run with it).

Are you dead? No? Hm.

Perhaps you ought to rethink your priors. I'm not saying you're absolutely wrong -- maybe the right answer really is that "0 is the right number". But maybe the answer is that it doesn't matter that much, and you're exaggerating the impact. More to the point, when you simply leap to the most exaggerated conclusion from a bad paper with sketchy methodology, you're not doing science, or being data-driven -- you're just panicking.
Oh, you don't say.

Well, it is an entity of its own that claims to strive for certain objectives (including the obvious one of being profitable). The owner could decide to change those objectives and make something new of it. The WSJ definitely has a set of interests that managers have a duty to satisfy, until the owner decides to change those interests. If they change their motto to "whatever Bezos needs" then it's problem solved. I don't see that on their about page, though.

Personally, what I've seen and read suggests that the best general strategy for lowering obesity is to shift calorie consumption away from carbohydrates and towards protein (although to be clear, I don't think it's necessary to take a hardline "all carbs are bad" approach). Corns seems like a poor food for someone trying to shift their calories more towards protein.

Evidence that Bezos might have had good reasons to nix his paper's endorsement: the Nation withdrew its earlier endorsement of Haris:

https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/kamala-harris-cou...
> Artists need to remember the alternative isn't 2-4x higher payouts - it's piracy.

It’s more complicated than that. The music industry has famously abused artists almost since the beginning so there’s also room for artists to dramatically increase their income by cutting into the share that the middlemen have been taking. This was true even before most people had computers or went online:

https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-problem-with-music

One big change, however, is that the alternatives have dried up. A musician used to be able to make more of their income from live performances and merch sales but since the early 90s Ticketmaster/live nation has dramatically removed competition from that market and jacked up their share of what fans pay. These aren’t “hit pieces” (let Spotify PR earn their paychecks, don’t do it for free) but rather the latest in a long story of creators seeing increasingly low returns for their work, and now everyone is wondering how likely they are to get sandbagged by AI splurge being used to drive down their income even further.
That's both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. Please don't tempt me. At least it's better than:

Probably already mentioned in the comments below, but the subtext here is obvious. Bezos thinks Trump is very likely to win and he has killed this endorsement because it might screw his broad business interests in all kinds of ways under the administration of a vengeful Trump. The nature of Amazon makes it much more exposed to regulatory heat inside the U.S than would be the case for a more purely digital tech-driven firm like, say, Meta.

Aside from the likely cynicism of the move, the cliquish criticism of Bezos reeks of moralizing hypocrisy. Is there some exact moral duty among major tech company founders to effusively endorse specifically progressive, liberal elite-endorsed democrat candidates, to show their own kumbaya credentials? Bullshit. Even the ones who vigorously support democrat politicians are no less self interested in doing so. It almost always boils down to money and favorable regulations, whether someone supports the donkey or the elephant.
Yep, the almost impenetrable security of the last few Xboxes shows that Microsoft does have it in them to architect a very secure platform, even against physical attacks, but they don't have the luxury of doing such a clean-slate design with Windows. They can almost never afford to break backwards compatibility and the Xbox approach of running each instance of legacy software in its own fully isolated virtual machine wouldn't really scale to a multitasking environment.

For those not keeping score, the Xbox One only recently got a very limited jailbreak a decade after release, that only works on old firmware and only allows access to the innermost level of sandboxing, with the outer system sandbox, hypervisor, bootloader and optical drive handshake remaining unbroken to this day.
Well not exactly because it’s the log of the number. So it’s log 1000 vs log 1000000 which is a much smaller difference.

Also if you actually know the minimum item it’s much better for it to be first because it means you can skip almost all the work. The paper is focused on doing the best for a worst case input. In real life if you can guess you can improve the average case substantially. For example, this is what A* tries to do.

I will not argue about definitions of terms, but there was a recent study that I found linked on washingtonpost.com I believe (Edit: found, added).

WP article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/09/1... (https://archive.md/RM8ez)

Look at the graph - our time is on the very right. We humans developed and are still living in unusually cold times for this planet, historically.
I’d wait for the results of this study to be expanded upon in any case before claiming causality. I didn’t read the study but I can think of half a dozen reasons why the claim in the article wouldn’t mean higher red meat intake -> higher cancer risk.

I’m fine with other people eating less red meat since that means less competition for me, but I’d still encourage healthy skepticism when people tell you to eat less of something that we’ve eaten since the dawn of our being and replace that in any degree with something novel.
