Why, because one has a critical mass of 9-10 kg and the other has a critical mass of 11 kg? You'd think it would matter a great deal more that the amount he obtained was apparently 35 nanograms, so he was about a hundred million samples short of a working reactor.

Before Google Play Services, updates were a big concern for Android. If Android N had the feature you wanted, but Verizon/Motorola only shipped N-1 for your Droid, you were out of luck. There were pie charts routinely tossed around showing which devices had which Android version numbers. You don't hear those concerns nearly as often anymore.

Makes me wonder what the tradeoffs/alternatives are. Maybe they could have still moved features to a Play Services-esque library but published the source for it. Considering we're commenting on a post about how developing in the open is too inconvenient for modern Google, the difference might have been moot.
It's more complicated than just "good drivers" and "bad drivers". Your driving performance is very different on minute 10 of a trip vs minute 600, or 11am vs 11pm, or happy vs having a bad day. You're also very likely to be in very different environments at all of these times, and have different familiarities.

Insurance risk estimates are practical simplifications instead of trying to model how risky an individual driver is on a particular day at a particular time, in a particular area. Waymo's results are trying to compare to a statistically average driver with all other variables controlled.
OpenAI uses machine translation for at least ChatGPT's UI, which became apparent to me thanks to a similar swap.

Ask HN: How Do You Deploy?
If you're just starting, are a YC startup or similar, where and how do you deploy/ship your apps?

Say, you have your github, you've setup some pipelines for CI (or not ;), but how about deployment?

You'll need some storage, maybe a db of some sort and some compute or serverless.

You do AWS lambda, beanstalk, eks/aks/etc, raw vm, api gateway use railway or heroku on your own?

Or you hire devops or a product engineer with some cloud exp to handle this?

No right or wrong answers here :-) I appreciate all input!

Worth repeating the same comment I've left on every variant of this article for the last 10 years.

Being better than "average" is a laughably low bar for self-driving cars. Average drivers include people who drive while drunk and on drugs. It includes teenagers and those who otherwise have very little experience on the road. It includes people who are too old to be driving safely. It includes people who are habitually speed and are reckless. It includes cars that are mechanically faulty or otherwise cannot be driven safely. If you compile accident statistics the vast majority will fall into one of these categories.

For self driving to be widely adopted the bare minimum bar needs to be – is it better than the average sensible and experienced driver?

Otherwise if you replace all 80% of the good drivers with waymos and the remaining 20% stay behind the wheel, accident rates are going to go up not down.

This has become a kind of stock character (or, at least, a stock archetype for characters) in Australian media, and can be seen in lots of e.g. Australian or heavily Australian-influenced films, often portrayed in a basically-positive, if imperfect, light. This sort of attitude toward life and behavior is on display among several characters in the Peter Weir film Gallipoli, for instance, including and especially Mel Gibson's. In that film, the wowser-est folks are mostly British, because national myth-making :-)
That isn't really consistent with the statistics either: If that was happening then the theft rate should approximate the penetration, but it's still higher for iPhones, implying that the thieves actually prefer them.

That makes sense if they e.g. have a higher resale value, but only if they have a higher resale value and the thieves are choosing them on purpose as a result.

Of course it's a social construct. The U.S. system is unusual (among nations that believe personal freedom, rule of law, etc.) that under it, the individual's right to personal property does not flow from the same source as the rights of creators in their works.
What kind of dataset do we have to determine the subset of accidents caused by sensible and experienced drivers?

I personally have doubts as to whether this dataset exists. Whenever there's an accident, and one party is determined to be at fault, would that party be automatically considered not to be a sensible driver?

If we don't have such a dataset, perhaps it would be impossible to measure self-driving vehicles against this benchmark?
Not much. as you say, static scanning is pretty much a dead end strategy. Exploiters have long since realized that you can just run the scan yourself and jiggle the bytes around to evade the signature detection.
To really understand MCP you need to think about application design in a different way.

In traditional applications, you know at design-time which functionality will end up in the final product. For example, you might bundle AI tools into the application (e.g. by providing JSON schemas manually). Once you finish coding, you ship the application. Design-time is where most developers are operating in, and it's not where MCP excels. Yes, you can add tools via MCP servers at design-time, but you can also include them manually through JSON schemas and code (giving you more control because you're not restricted by the abstractions that MCP imposes).

MCP-native applications on the other hand can be shipped, and then the users can add tools to the application — at runtime. In other words, at design-time you don't know which tools your users will add (similar to how browser developers don't know which websites users will visit at runtime). This concept — combined with the fact that AI generalizes so well — makes designing this kind of application extremely fascinating, because you're constantly thinking about how users might end up enhancing your application as it runs.

As of today, the vast majority of developers aren't building applications of this kind, which is why there's confusion.

“When a disaster strikes, like the flooding in Houston [after Hurricane Harvey], for example, you see everyday people pouring out all this generosity and solidarity,” says Christian Parenti, associate professor of economics at John Jay College in New York City. ...

"This idea is reinforced by author Rebecca Solnit in her landmark book, “A Paradise Built in Hell,” in which she explains that, “in the wake of an earthquake, a bombing, or a major storm, most people are altruistic, urgently engaged in caring for themselves and those around them, strangers and neighbors as well as friends and loved ones.”

Arguments Against Static Typing
I say this as someone who has tried to switch away from google many times because I dislike google as a company : there is no better search engine out there. There hasn't been for as long as google has existed. Every time I make something like bing or yandex my default search engine I end up getting frustrated with a niche search and type google.com and after typing google.com too many times I get fed up and bring it back as default.

And the two competing search engines I mentioned are pretty much all there is. Other names like duckduckgo aren't real search engines, they are just a frontend for another search engine (DDG uses bing).
There just isn't many out there willing to front the bill for crawling and indexing the whole web.

People trying to explain away google's success solely from a marketing standpoint are arguing from bad faith.

Whatever stack you are most comfortable using.

If all your integrations with AI are via HTTP API's then it does not matter what stack you choose, they all can call API's. Maybe some stacks will have pre-built libraries but really, AI like cursor, copilot or chatgpt can create an AI HTTP API library if that's what you're doing. If you are building AI/ML yourself then you'll have narrower choices of stacks.

If you choose a stack that is widespread and has been around for years, like ROR or python/django, then chances are AI will be better trained to be your helpful assistant that is sometimes wrong.
Deno is perhaps a better example with browser API's, part off the winterTC committee and a growing set of std packages[1].

Possibly more importantly, it has a security model that defends against this kind of exploit.

I will agree with the sentiment though, I get not wanting to jump on new shiny things but for some reason I keep getting the vibe that the community is closer to crab mentality than healthy skepticism, downright hostile towards any project making a genuine effort to improve things.

Zorin OS says goodbye to Firefox in latest 17.3 update
The trouble is that the market allocation of funding is dependent on the valuation of goods and services. Until the externalized costs are accurately represented, the market will under-allocate capital toward solving the problem. To push the transition to happen faster without internalizing costs, you'd have to subsidize development with significantly more cash than the market would be willing to allocate with accurately internalized costs. Which I'm not sure is possible.

There are definitely reasons to subsidize some products - medical devices, for instance - as you say, things without readily available alternatives. I'm not writing a detailed transition plan here, just pointing out observations.

It can replace many junior analysts IMO.
From what I gather the idea for Anubis isn't to _stop_ bots, it's to make them slow down enough to not bring down servers.

Like they said in the presentation, git(lab/tea) instances have insane amounts of links on every page and the AI crawlers just blindly click everything in nanoseconds, causing massive loads for servers where normally there might be a maybe a few thousand git pulls/pushes a day and a few hundred people clicking on the links at a human pace.

Plus the bots are made to be cheap, fast and uncaring. They'll happily re-fetch 10 year old repositories with zero changes multiple times a week, just to see if they might've changed.

Even a if the bad proof of work requires the bots to slow down their click rate, it's enough. If they somehow manage to bypass it completely, then that's a problem.
A few thoughts on the new ChatGPT image release
To what extent and using what method is it "de-identified"? Plenty of such schemes are very easy to circumvent, especially with a large enough pool of data. Given the nature of genetics in particular positively identifying a single case can be used to unmask whole families. In particular depending on the anonymization this would be a task suited to 'AI' very well.

Cool, I also almost always prefer the subbed, but I meant a good thing for a wider audience for foreign films and TV shows. Imagine wider theatrical releases for, say, Let the Right One In, instead of a bad American remake. Think of possibly more money and recognition for the original creators. This is a good thing, even though the film lover in me is going to a visceral reaction against it.

Edit: I think I misread you and you actually agree with what I just said, so never mind. I have noticed with streaming more obscure movies sometimes dubbed is the only option, though
I've considered this, but I'm running on a potato, and fetching the whole atuin history seems to take a while:

$ time atuin history list --print0 -f "{time} | {command}" > /dev/null

real 0m1.849s

(for some reason the built-in atuin search command doesn't take so long to show up? It might only fetch the last few entries from the db first... Eh, actually `atuin search` without argument which lists roughly the same thing run in less than half the time (0.85s), but -i is still another order of magnitude faster)

Anyway, thanks - I'll fiddle with all this :)

>Except it's not. Remember how everyone switched to Altavista in 1996 because it was so much better? Remember how Yahoo took over in 1999 because it was so much better? Remember how people switched to Google in 2003 because it was so much better?

You already have the answer here you said it 3 times - 'so much better'. People switched because it was 'so much better'. Not on par, not slightly better, just so ahead of the competition, it became a talking point all on its own.

If this mass isn't reached then why would you switch ? How would you even know that Search Engine 26 is quite a bit better for most of your queries ?

Do you genuinely think most people are performing lengthy evaluations before they switch default back to google ? so how do they know Bing or whatever isn't better for them ? The answer is that they don't. And it doesn't matter because unless something blows it out of the water and gets people talking then people will not switch.

>we just need some major text editor to get the ball rolling and start making some attempts to understand these characters

Many text editors offer extensions APIs, including Vim, Emacs, Notepad++. But the ideal behavior would be to auto-align record separators and treat unit separators as a special kind of newline. That would allow the file to actually look like a table within the text editor. Input record separator as shift+space and unit separator as shift+enter.
Docker is not a security boundary.
There’s no statistics for how much a sensible and experienced driver crashes.

Sorting people by past behavior runs into survivorship bias when looking back and people who stop being sensible going forward. I’m personally a poor driver, but I don’t drive much so my statistics still look good.

"XYZ demographic should be forced to use self driving cars" is a fantasy that the tech crowd continues to believe but will never happen. Everyone is able to drive and will continue to be able to drive. In fact you should assume that the worse someone is at driving the more likely they are to want to drive for themselves, because that's how the world usually works.
> The idea that everyone has their own "public transportation" (a computer chauffeur) seems lacking in foresight.

How so? As you increase the density of stops in a bus network and increase the rate of arrivals, there will be fewer passengers per bus, going on journeys that approach the fastest they could be. Why look at the one thing that has a really good chance of "fast, cheap and good" and say, "lack foresight?" My dude, it's the only game in town!

This is already much better than average, enough that it's going to take over. No one cares about car accidents in this country enough to stop this, even if it was only slightly better than average. For proof: Tesla.

Self-driving being the dominant form of driving is now a done deal, thanks to Waymo (and probably Tesla, though that's a policy failure imo), it's just a question of how long it takes.
