That's a very hand wavy argument. How about starting here:

> Mario Herger: Waymo is using around four NVIDIA H100 GPUSs at a unit price of $10,000 per vehicle to cover the necessary computing requirements. The five lidars, 29 cameras, 4 radars – adds another $40,000 - $50,000. This would put the cost of a current Waymo robotaxi at around $150,000

There are definitely some numbers out there that allow us to estimate within some standard deviations how unprofitable Waymo is
Seconding this! It has great detail on the actual rocket fuel chemistry, alongside incredibly well-told stories and anecdotes.

Many people's favorite line from it:

> It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.
NextDNS is great.

I'm also a fan of 1Blocker on iOS (and macOS). It's another subscription, but it's not that expensive; updates its blocking lists frequently; and blocks trackers in apps.

Is it some kind of scam?

No two separate things, you cannot, basically, trade under a charity structure, it would be almost legally impossible for the charity to be selling the raspberry Pis.

Interesting, that wasn't my takeaway from the article at all!

Direct quote from the article:

There are some extremely emotional defences of Waymo on this comment thread. I don't quite understand why? Are they somehow inviolable to constructive criticism in the SV crowd?

I am not sure that your core assumption, that you can find one person, while both in your 20s, who will meet all your needs for the next 60-80 years, is a reasonable one.

When we look at the origins of the "life partner" assumption, they are grounded in a time when people lived in a much more networked social environment than today's. In other words, people had many more outlets for social and emotional contact, as well as more hours working - and probably spent much less time 1:1 with their spouse. AND the overall social and cultural milieu was much more stable than it is today.
Must be ISP specific, I'm also in NL and can access it fine.
This is a lovely idea. Very HN like in the good sense.

Sadly, it is also vert HN like in the not so good sense. Unlike the software world, the real world is not ours to program as we see fit. In the real world, laws matter. And I am concerned that you haven't really read upon the consequences of doing an app like yours without any due diligence. You can't just use people's health data like that.

Anyone using this app could potentially sue you as you are likely breaking the law of the country you live in (I am going to guess it is an Anglo-Saxon country).

You should asap bring the app down, contact all users, send them their info, delete them from your servers, notifying them of that and get a lawyer specialising in health related law. With their assistance, you can build an organisation to build the app. This should also limit your liability.
A voice of sanity.
Epic is a electronic health record (EHR) software used by many hospitals and clinics. It's not the only EHR there are many but it's probably the most known. Doctors usually type patient notes, diagnoses, prescriptions... everything goes in Epic and your team of providers can gain access to see that info.
I would not think in terms of "correct," or even "permanent." As you note we all change over time. If we live with and share our lives with another person that will change both people in unpredictable ways.

You want to pair with someone who has what you call "core values" similar to or compatible with your own. Maintaining a relationship requires patience, humility, tolerance, and compromise. A person who can't or won't compromise will struggle to maintain any kind of relationship. Keep in mind that "core values" can change over time too.

Most people could find millions of potential partners who match well enough to form a couple. Think in terms of finding someone who matches close with the qualities you rank as most important and don't worry too much about every detail. And remember that people can change, grow, and compromise in response to new relationships and living situations.

> there should be patterns on this that can be recognized by now based on human life histories

A large majority of all fiction every written has to do with relationships. You could start there. Shakespeare alone could keep you busy for a year. Classics get called that for a reason -- they show us universal human characteristics that we recognize across cultures and time.

You can find plenty of non-fiction as well, from serious books about relationships to YouTube videos from pickup artists. I would ignore all of that because either the authors want to sell something or get you to join a group, or they have over-analyzed something that comes down to feelings and mutual emotions.

As AI evolves at a rapid pace, it’s clear that while the potential is immense, the challenges around ethics, transparency, and accountability are also growing. From AI systems like ChatGPT and Claude to the complexities of bias and fairness, we are at a critical juncture in the development of responsible AI.

This inspired me to create NeuralVista, a platform that provides comprehensive tools for auditing model performance, debugging issues, and ensuring transparency throughout the machine learning lifecycle. Right now, the platform is focused on making AI systems more interpretable and understandable, with a vision to integrate fairness and bias auditing tools in the near future.

A lot of stuff is apparently explained in the book that just happens for no reason in the movie. Especially the whole ending seems to be missing quite a few scenes to make any sense (I've read online that in the book it is actually explained)

My point is, those things actually don't need an explanation for the movie to be good. The director just said "fuck those details, let's get to where these kids gets weapons in hand"
To be fair, most phones with USB-C are 2.0 only, which means they're limited to 480 Mbps.

Providing community notes and overt information seems far far better than covert censoring.

The problem with covert censoring is twofold: a) people get an insanely distorted perception of what average people think and b) sometimes the people in power doing the censoring are wrong (e.g., the censorship of the hunter biden laptop story as fake news). Overtly correcting false narratives via community notes evades both of these issues.

Show HN: Check if your website's images have alt text
I want to share something cool that we’ve been working on. If you’ve ever wondered whether your website images have alt text or if you're struggling to keep track of all your images for accessibility, we’ve got just the thing.

We created an Image Alt Text Checker that quickly scans your website and tells you if any images are missing alt text. It’s super easy to use—just drop your website URL, and the tool does the rest. In seconds, you get a report showing which images need alt text, so you can fix them up in no time.

We built this tool with accessibility in mind. It’s not just about SEO (though it definitely helps with that too!); it’s about making your site more user-friendly for people who rely on screen readers. And let’s face it, who doesn’t want a more inclusive website, right?

It’s 100% free, and honestly, it saves so much time compared to checking each image manually. Anyone else here focusing on website accessibility? Would love to hear your thoughts or any tools you’ve been using to make your site more inclusive!
Ah... Jack Ma, My favorite example on why nobody should try to be a communist propagandist.

The man traveled to the US back in 2017 and publicly criticized how US utilized their tax incomes etc see [Link 1], then just few years later he lost half of his wealth for criticizing Xi Jinpin [Link 2].

So, apparently be a communist lapdog did very little in helping him gain political shield.

"Outliers: The Story of Success" by Malcolm Gladwell but it's more centered on the mechanics that made successful people able to do the hard things. It does case studies on others that failed as well.
I think what Waymo's achieved is really impressive, and I like the way they've rolled out (carefully), but there's a lot of non evidence based defense of them in this comment thread. YouTube videos of people driving for hours are textbook survivorship bias. (What about all the videos people made but didn't upload because their drive didn't go perfectly?)

Nobody knows how many times operators intervene, because Waymo hasn't said. It's literally impossible to deduce.

Which means I also agree his estimate could also be wildly wrong too.
Because the efforts of Anna's Archive are unfortunately currently very much illegal, and XMR is one of the few cryptocurrencies that can actually offer some privacy to its users.
there is a pattern starting to emerge here on hackernews of highly voted posts by people who present themselves as experts and thought leaders who shamelessly put their lack of understanding at display. it's frightening.
Comprehending Proc Macros [video]
EDIT: Developer included this in a summary:

"Comments on HIPAA: I'm 99% sure this does not apply, since the site is for patients and their families, and no doctors, clinics, hospitals, or insurance companies are involved. All information comes from the family, and stays in the family."

Insofar as no providers or non-family use this, developer may have a point: my comment's covered-entity reasoning can be disregarded.

---

Not saying don't do YouTube, there's a persona who wants to learn from being talked to and shown.

But there's a less online (socially noisy) persona who prefers to read, see, and take in information far faster than a video. So don't skip the screenshots!

PS. I participated in the first patient centered groupware app 15 years ago, sold to the provider networks, so all providers a patient is ping-ponged to can interact as if a virtual team with the patient.

Your idea is viable, and giant hospital networks will buy it. But the top comment on this thread is likely dead right. You likely need to be HIPAA compliant for the providers to participate, regardless whether you sold the app to the patient or to the providers. Because unlike a personal notes app, your entire premise is info sharing among parties.

There is possibly a model for this that is technically outside HIPAA, but what you're showing / saying doesn't sound like it's navigated that.

Even if you use that potentially compliant model, it's then highly unlikely the providers will play ball, as then they'd have to be running as many apps as they have patients and they are too busy and already have to know too many systems. Even if they felt like setting a precedent of installing whatever apps patients ask them to use (they don't), the last thing they want is yet another place to redundantly key in information/communications. (They are required to have a record.) To get around that, you'd have to integrate with what they have, and boom, HIPAA again.
Cool question!

Yeah, the AgentForce thing is a classic example. Internal leaks say Salesforce is using it as cover for more regular (cost cutting based) layoffs. People who've actually evaluated AgentForce don't think it's ready for prime time. It's more smoke and mirrors (and lots of marketing).
” But when men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may
come to believe even more than they believe the very foundations of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas-that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself
accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely can be carried out. That at any rate is the theory of our Constitution. It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment.”

That’s from the Abram’s dissent.

You can viably run git over sneakernet. Yes if you decide to use a specific communication service, that service needs to be up, but git itself is entirely agnostic.
> Tech companies, perhaps until very recently, have been extremely left-leaning.

You Americans really have lost the touch of reality with regards to politics, that's for sure.

Tech companies are the wealthiest and most powerful companies in the world. They do what they do in order to increase profit. Nothing left-leaning about that.

In a few days your new president and his gamer buddy takes office, and they both have their own social media networks.
Left and right vs. bottom / top?
Probably not even a data breach. A user's friend/relative who is a lawyer or works in health care or know someone who does will see the app and inmediately begin proceedings for a lawsuit. Once it is under the eye of the state, OP will be in big legal trouble. Building apps is cool but any app that uses critical stuff like real world infrastructure or personal data needs careful treading
Lsd works in the sense that it makes you not care about dying that much, the ego death helps.

Combine that with ketamine for a nice anti depressant effect and you got a really good party going.

Why not do mdma also to kill the ptsd, maybe a visit a psytance festival instead of the hospital?

Jokes aside, its sad to prepare for death. I think drugs are not the answer, but they can help too. Depends on the people. Maybe hallucinogens trigger mental illness too. I dont recommend anyone to take drugs.

The problem with bone density can be avoid with extra vitamin D (mentioned in the paper I linked).

Height is based on genetics, not puberty (again, see the paper I linked)

Vocal changes aren't affected at all, they will change as soon as an Testosterone based puberty is started. This is why trans man have low voices too.

> Both are sports for rich (countries) only. How many tennis players you know are from Africa?

I don't think this matter.

Most people have ever heard of at least one of the grand slam Tennis tournament that happens every year: Wimbledon, US Open, Rolland Garros or Australian Open. Same for Golf, in my case I can name the British and US Open. In cycling, most people not even interested in it can name the Tour de France. Everyone knows the NBA basketball league, the Soccer World Cup and a number of majors teams from the UEFA and/or their own continent.

Volleyball? I don't think there is any major tournament broadcasted and advertised all over the world. You only really hear about it during olympics alongside a number of other collective and individual sports.
a) Well founded things are roughly the things your doctor recommends. The rest is unfounded. Some unfounded things might really be worth trying if you have time and strength. Most aren't. Yet people who know you that mean well but have very limited capacity to evaluate what is worthwhile and what is not will firmly believe that the idea they are bringing you is the one that will cure your illness and the only hurdle is convincing you to apply it. That's what gets tiring.

b) In most cases there are just a few things or no things that actually might work. But there's thousands of ideas floating around of what people say might help. Ranging from "you must eat a spoonful of this spice daily" to "there's this small lab on the other site of the planet that make this expensive substance that will cure you but what they do isn't technically legal and might kill you".
I am not sure that if you choose to freely share your medical information with people of your choice, it's protected or governed by HIPAA or protected PII, per se.

For example, I believe Brooke Shields told the world she had post-partum depression and was prescribed some anti-depressant and felt it helped her.

https://www.webmd.com/depression/postpartum-depression/featu...

That's "medical information" about "a prescription". She could have, instead, shuffled it into some rando app, and shared it with her family. I don't think any HIPAA laws were broken.

Of course, US laws https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/faq/190/who-must...

The above doesn't describe anything about private parties. If this "Kate" is some rando app developer, they can do whatever they like. Anyone who is willing to trust a random developer with their information can do so afaict.

IANAL and YMMV etc.
Regardless of the fact that Apple’s laptops were shipping with Thunderbolt years before they were “forced” to add USB-C ports to iPhones, or that Thunderbolt and USB-C are orthogonal, Apple was involved in the creation of Thunderbolt in the first place.
Like on Reddit etc, which I deliberately avoid for this reason. The hiding of the vote count and the heavy moderation still help a lot that HN is still a massively better platform than any of its alternatives.

Hu hu, recipe challenge YESSS !!

< 5-10 minutes curry >

1. Throw in a pan: a can of cheakpeas or lentil, whatever cream (coconut/soy/oat), curry spices. If you got others frozen/canned vegetable on hand go for them but not mandatory. Thinks that don’t need real cooking like olives, tofu bites, fresh spinaches or shrooms can also go here.

2. Cook (heat-up, actually) for 5-10 minutes

3. Add some drops of lime juice in bottle or a branch of parsley or other herb. That’s for vitC, but eating a raw fruit or vegetable (carrot or celery), is also an easy option

4. Eat with bread

You can also do the same in a microwave oven to trade taste for convenience.

Personal topping : as a Mediterranean I put olive oil on basically everything, and often a bit of nutritional yeast.
Lead-free solder will have a dull surface even on a good joint though, no? IMO worth mentioning. Not grainy or with visible "fault lines", but dull.
maybe on tiny residential side roads.

even in Amsterdam, where most speed limits have reduced to 30kph, there are still main roads and public transport lanes signed for 50kph. https://etsc.eu/amsterdam-follows-paris-brussels-and-madrid-...

and bus operators put a lot of effort into fleet economies of scale, so having to hive their fleets in two with slower and faster buses is unlikely to go well. Especially since there are perfectly valid reasons for an out-of-service bus to use a faster road; 30kph as a maximum is slow enough that the vehicle would be banned from certain classes of road altogether.

I guess if you're required to support 120Gbps on even cheap small electronics then USB 4 support doesn't make sense
There is a HUGE amount of spam content posted on this site. Extremely low quality stuff. As others have said in other comments, there is better coverage/write-ups of this elsewhere. In fact, it feels like an AI rewrite of some of those higher-quality pieces.
as far as my observations go it's a little more complicated than russia started the war and apart from that life is not just about politics but also about mundane practicalities.
I really mean that, all those approaches using Perl, Java, .NET as stored procedures never gained much love among DBAs or the market in general, and I always favour approaches where I am not the only person on the building that can change something.

Also those approaches lack the end to end tooling, so you're basically back at printf debugging.
Yeah, naturally we're only allowed to combat human extinction if we jump across imaginary moral bars some people set up. /s

Bars that always turn out as a hypocrytical pretext to end the discussion prematurely. I say hypocritical because once there eventually is someone who dares to jump it and offer the same criticism the bar gets moved.

No, I don't need to be a saint, a monk and carbon negative to say that in a world moving towards human extinction a jumping supercar should not exist.
Thank you for that. It's almost exactly what I expected with a twist. It's not a roll up. It's a roll around. I apologise for the snark.
