That's not an accurate description. An accurate description is that the court is ordering an open source maintainer to stop treating one particular user in a hostile and exclusionary manner. Now, you can object to that too, but there's a serious difference. It's like fixing a bug, but intentionally excluding some particular user from getting the bug fix - it's not the same as fixing a bug. Fixing a bug anew requires additional work, and forcing somebody in un-contracted work is usually hard. Allowing a user to access the bug fix everybody else can access requires just stopping being a jerk, no surprise the court is much more willing to grant such kind of relief.
It's closer to Firebase on Postgres, in my opinion.

Well, the BB isn’t necessarily a serious proposal.

Rather, when you do the math on all the billion/trillion to one shots that are definitely happening, every second of every day, in physics - and look around at the universe as it appears to exist now and how many of those shots had to play out in a specific way - and then do the math on the probability of a BB spontaneously existing, then it’s really absurd that we aren’t somehow BB’s.

The author's point is that these extremes aren't healthy and fit.
People incorrectly throw around the term "rent-seeking" all the time, yet this is a case where it would be correctly applied. The dealerships petition the government to enforce the franchise model of car sales to block potential competitors. Like Tesla, but also mega-chains like CarMax.
1. Non-IEP = Not Special Needs.

2. Religious private schools do not need to meet the same educational requirements as public schools.

3. Charter schools have some selection pressure, but public schools dont have a profit motive.

4. "Charter Schools" as a category is wildly varied, with some excellent institutions, and others that are grifting off the taxpayer dollar.

The most important thing however, is the vicious cycle they introduce. Public schools are required to educate every child, regardless of the expense of doing so. Charter schools face no such requirement. So when charter schools exist in that system, every student that leaves the public school and takes their little chunk of funding with them inherently makes life more difficult for the public school they're leaving. This in turn increases the incentive for every other high achieving student to leave, which makes the public school's situation worse and worse each time.

Frankly, I think Tesla is going to win this. The new self-driving is remarkably good. Based on this alone, I estimate (actual) level 5 self driving in 2-3 years. I'm convinced that the lidar sensors are essentially unnecessary and the vision-only strategy is basically going to work and be much cheaper in the process.

You could make the same point about the actual color “white”. You can point to various items of different colors and ask “is this thing actually white?”. You’ll have some people agreeing on most of these things, and disagree on some of these things. Would it make the whole concept of “color” meaningless and useless? Hardly.

It matters how fucked we are. There is a big difference between disaster that wipes out humanity, one that sends back pre-industrial technology, or one that keeps some modern technology. We might want to prepare preserving knowledge for next civilization.

It matters if we can slow it down. More time means more technology. For example, robot industry might transition happen faster, and might also make possible for smaller civilization survive. It also means more time to use resources that are available now before they get scarce.

It matters if we work together towards goal. That will reduce chances of people fighting which will make things worse. With fighting, "riding it out" will be unpleasant.

Maybe the horse will sing.

It's worth noting that the bulk of the code was written by antirez with only ~12 others exceeding 100+ commits [1]. And if you continue scrolling the number of commits-per-user drops off fast. It's striking given how famous the project is.

My concern with DB startups is always the business model. There’s a massive tension between open source and a sustainable business which is much more prevalent with deeply technical products. So either it’s too open and dies because aws eats their lunch or it’s too closed to be useful for self-hosting, or too complex to self-host, or priced too high for small players. What’s the strategy to build/grow the business in the short-medium term?
Hey HN community. I am looking for genuine feedback on my newly launched startup. My MVP is almost done and welcome the opportunity to share with you all. If anyone is interested, let me know and I can email them info.
There have been many broken arrows¹. Each one is a terrifying and fascinating story and it's one of my favorite Wikipedia rabbit holes which I think everyone should be at least somewhat familiar with. At least to appreciate the real, terrible costs of developing, and then maintaining these weapons, in a high alert operational state, continuously for many decades. The fact that most of these accidents were classified and hidden from the public, for 20 or 30 years, is troubling. The military (correctly) assumed that they would lose a lot of public support had the truth been known at the time.

> I say "we" do - ie, if people want to buy autonomous cars, then that's what's going to happen.

Baked in to this is the assumption that the operation of markets are democratic, but they are not. A very small number of people decide where investments go, what tech to design, and what to buy. The alternative - public transit focused infrastructure, is not available to buy in small quantities. Huge investments have to be made before anyone can “vote with their wallet” on public transit. And similarly, billions have to go in to AV development before anyone can buy in to it. And those with more money always have more “vote” in a “vote with your wallet” scenario. Fifty percent of the people in the US have so little money as to make their votes nearly meaningless in such a scenario. That’s not “us” making a decision that is very much certain people making that decision.
I test-drove a Model S about that time - it was hair-raising because the system would correct the cars position about a half-second after I would have. I hovered my hands by the wheel the whole time, waiting for it to careen us into a bridge abutment.

While SuperCruise is a highway only system, riding in a friend's car with it was pretty much a non-event.
Perhaps these findings might be indicating that we need more NN layers/attention blocks for performing reasoning. This project circumvented the lack of more trained layers by looping the input through currently trained layers more than once.

Also we may have to look for better loss functions than ones that help us predict the next token to train the models if the objective is reasoning.

Almost certainly the lawyer either A) did NOT ok it, B) OK'd it and then realized that was a huge mistake and reneged, C) was replaced by a different lawyer who made it very clear it was an awful idea.

Matt is pretty clearly a terrible client from a client control perspective. He's simply not good at doing anything but exactly what he wants to do.

As I have said elsewhere, he is now in this situation solely due to his own actions, having gained almost nothing and lost a lot. He'll lose more if this goes to trial.
Yes we've thought about them a fair bit.

We believe that in most ETFs right now the transaction costs are largely factored into either the expense ratio or the ETF bid-ask spread, exactly due to the redemption mechanism you discussed. See section titled Spread of the Underlying Securities in an ETF Basket in the following PDF and the following quote:

"If a market maker has to obtain a portion of the ETF constituents on the secondary market to then deliver into the fund as part of the basket process, the cost of acquiring those names should be reflected in the ETFs bid/ask spread — as costs are traditionally passed through to the end customer."

https://www.ssga.com/library-content/pdfs/etf/au/spdr-au-etf...

Also we take estimated spread costs into account when running our portfolio optimization. A higher bid-ask spread as measured by past 1 month NBBO p50 spread generally gets penalized in our portfolio optimization all else being equal, although this depends slightly on what optimization setting you've chosen on Double.
>Violence creates a lot of problems, but it does solve some issues. Morals is a totally different topic, and whether "political opponents" will resort to violence is yet another topic.

Degradation of the social contract and the response of those who disagree are potential problems with violence. That makes them on-topic.

>Heck, even the mere fact that the suspect was arrested was based on state-sanctioned "violence". If the police didn't have guns and weren't allowed to use force to arrest people, no amount of non-violent actions would convince a murder suspect to voluntarily present themselves and subject themselves to trial in court.

Indeed. I'm arguing that lawful violence should not, in general, be considered morally equivalent to unlawful violence.

When the state punishes a violent robber, that's not morally equivalent to me randomly punishing someone because I don't like their face. If people are able to successfully argue that these two situations are morally equivalent, expect your society to become a miserable place rather quickly.

I'm not sure why you're hung up on the specific phrase "violence never solved anything", given that it doesn't seem to appear in this comment's grandparent chain.
Yes, that's true, and I do donate low basis shares. But it's a small portion of my overall portfolio. Big +1 to DAFs -- I use Vanguard Charitable.
> Strange that they would bow out.

It does seem strange but when one considers that the CEO of one of these competitors spent ~$260M to help elect the next President and he will have his ear on matters of autonomous car regulation, maybe not so strange.

If future autonomous car regulations are influenced by Musk and end up being lax and favour the technological approach that Tesla has taken, then GM/Cruise may have made significant irrelevant investments to solve issues that are no longer relevant, and this puts them on poor footing in the new competitive landscape.

It's possible they're bowing out early on the assumption that this will no longer be a competition that they can win.
It's interesting because there are medicines that can block DHT or reduce it's effectiveness, but they have other negative side-effects. It's almost like if you have this gene and are a healthy man, you should loose your hair - I wonder what the evolutionary mechanism of that is.

I bounced off 3% body fat (also measured by a DEXA scan) back when I was cycling competitively. This was surprisingly easy to achieve with high volume structured training and a food plan. Coach advised me to only remain so lean for target races. Coach was right, my immune system was weak and my mood was terrible until it got back up to 8%. Good racing results though.

I can’t imagine bothering with any of that if I didn’t have something I wanted to win.
There are two separate ideas here:

1. Wanting to determine blame, and assign good and bad morality labels.

2. wanting to make healthcare better.

1. is merely psychosocial. It’s ultimately to make you feel better by constructing a revenge justification narrative.

Murdering administrators does nothing to fix 2. They will just replace him with the next guy in line.

No matter how you construe it, he didn’t make healthcare bad and he is not empowered to fix it.

It you are in the US and while it still exists.
(I found out about it when private weather companies were mad they were giving out forecasts for free.. )
It should, but you can't expect to be as lean aged 45 as you were aged 20. And if you manage it anyway, you'll probably find (as - in my view - Johnson shows) that you look weird, in a way that you wouldn't have done when you were 20.

Regarding how much, I did say "a bit more". I'm not suggesting he should be watching My 600 lb Life for inspiration. 15% body fat, say? Maybe a bit less? Maybe a bit more? I dunno. He can afford his own dietician. I'm just going by my eyes here. He is lean, but in my view it just doesn't look very good on him.

(EDIT: this did prompt me to update my other post. TRT takers often exhibit a similar phenomenon: they've got the muscles and leanness of somebody rather younger, but the overall effect still just looks... kind of odd.)
Can someone with knowledge in the field explain it?
Waymo is just a guy in India driving your car
For reference:
"Ford BlueCruise is a hands-free driving assistance feature that allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel on certain preapproved roads"

"It seems like drivers did not find the feature compelling and were not renewing. Interest in autonomous driving appears to be cooling across the board."

No, because BlueCruise sounds like an asinine feature. To make me pay $2450 more for a car for some arbitrary selection roads for that feature to be available doesn't make sense to me.

Cruise really was on to something, well w/e GM's loss!
They have non-heuristic training. Maybe the AI model is making those connections on the hyper graph if it’s part of the training data, but it would have a decay function as roads get constructed.

Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann; 20 February 1844 – 5 September 1906) was an Austrian physicist and philosopher.

Boltzmann wrote treatises on philosophy such as "On the question of the objective existence of processes in inanimate nature" (1897). He was a realist. In his work "On Thesis of Schopenhauer's", Boltzmann refers to his philosophy as materialism and says further: "Idealism asserts that only the ego exists, the various ideas, and seeks to explain matter from them. Materialism starts from the existence of matter and seeks to explain sensations from it."

Show HN: Pence, deals crowdsourced from marketing emails
Hi folks! I've created Pence out of frustration that I always miss good deals from emails just because marketing emails are so hard to read (not to mention a landmine of spams that you don't care about).

Pence is here to solve that: Only showing you the deals from your marketing emails that you actually want to know about, including the promo codes usually hidden in the fine-print. Whilst we're at it, why not crowdsource publicly available deals that other users get in their inbox for others to benefit? One man's trash is another man's treasure. So in Pence you can also discover new brands and promotions you'll not see in your own inbox.

I think we're hitting a gold mine here: We are beating Honey and other voucher websites by both quantity of valid codes (100% vs 30% for Honey) and quality (50% of promotions are 30% off and above).
And the best part: Some paid users have net saved money through the paid subscription.

We want this to be a paid product but for the purposes of Show HN you can try this out for free. FAQs here: https://ixn.notion.site/Pence-FAQs-f42ba4a8509d4f2f8fd167499...

It used to pain me that the US education system had such a low standard on math. Like in the 7th-grade textbook Common Core Advanced, students are asked to "show that 3(x+2) = 3X + 6", and the answer is to use a f&*@ing table that lists a few actual calculations. And my kid's homework on pre-algebra is something like calculating "-1 - (-5)". Nothing wrong with that, but I guess there's problem if every problem is as simple as that.

But then over the years, I realized that Americans simply didn't think math is that important to everyone, as the meme illustrates: https://www.reddit.com/r/EngineeringStudents/comments/pd6hhc...

So, the high schools by default just teach the very basics: some calculation, some definitions, and etc. Those who want to go deeper have to push themselves. I guess nothing is wrong with this approach, as indeed only a small percentage of people would use maths harder than Common Core day in and day out. On the other hand, I do feel a lot of ordinary kids would miss out - they could be come decent engineers, if someone pushed them or showed them the way when they grew up in high school.
Yes there are actual "legal" notions of driver assistance "levels," but out of those 3 companies Tesla seems to be taking it the most seriously. Elon has a high conviction in the product and has continued to pour billions of dollars in GPUs, talent, supply chains, etc to make it happen. Other manufacturers don't take it nearly as seriously, unfortunately.

Sure you might not be able to legally claim that a Tesla is totally "autonomous," but the fact of the matter (to me, at least) is that they are putting in way more effort to solve the problem than legacy auto manufacturers are.

I can step into a Tesla today, press a destination, and go there without touching the wheel or pedals. Sure it won't be flawless but the fact is, I can. I can't do the same in any other consumer car, and the closest thing is a Waymo. The effort is there, I think its just a matter of time before we start seeing the legal stuff play out.
