I'd rather someone rich who wants political change focus on getting ranked choice voting in battleground states. As someone who would like to vote for a third party but generally leans toward one of the two major parties I can't justify most likely throwing my vote away. I'd be happy to put a third party candidate as my first choice in ranked choice voting since I know it wouldn't be a wasted vote.
TO bad they didn't use any of that increased team size to add in any basic accessibility features that would allow me to play with my children even though I'm totally blind. Unfortunately games like Forza that did add accessibility are not available on the Switch 2 and don't offer local multi player.
I'll look at it when this shows up on https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/ I feel like keeping up with all the models is a full time job so I just use this instead and hopefully get 90% of the benefit I would by manually testing out every model.
At the end of every work day I attempt to add apointments for the next work day to a personal calander for the things I want to work on. I don't figure out individual tasks but will figure out what projects I want to work on and for how long. I dont' view these as hart committments but it definitely makes it easier for me to start the day with focus instead of trying to remember where I left everything yesterday.
We'd all be a lot less stressed if there was a clean separation between politics and technology platforms but that isn't the case. Arguments about the house settlement for college athletics and the politics around that are not a good topic of conversation on HN. How a major tech figure's platforms are running and what effects that may have is worth discussing. Just because someone did good things in the passed doesn't mean everything they do is good. It's irresponsible to not continue to judge people based on there current actions and give them a complete pass on any current actions based on passed behavior.
I'm disappointed, based on the headline I thought this was going to be a story about how military research somehow lead to the Warhead candy I enjoyed as a child.
jareds commented on Ask HN: What career will you switch to when AI replaces developers? · Posted by u/DGAP
I won't have to switch careers since I'm a software engineer instead of a developer that does nothing but implement specifications with no creativity or design work. I will have to keep up with the changing technology landscape though like I have been for my entire career.
Want I’d want to see is a focus on level 5 autonomous driving from day 1. (Edit: Even if the system is level 4 to start with.) Yes the current coverage area is limited, but if you live in one of those cities the coverage area is easily large enough to be useful.
Oddly enough I think this is one of the few times when a subscription model makes sense. The current approach has a fallback call center which can give the cars driving directions in unexpectedly situations, which could be supported by either a monthly subscription or low hourly fee. Similarly move out of the coverage area and stop paying etc.
As someone who's blind I've made this argument in the passed. I don't need 100% success as long as the failure mode won't injure me. Seven years ago I would have loved a car that would have driven me to and from work 95% of the time, and refused to take the other 5% if the weather forecast was bad enough that the self driving wouldn't work correctly. I'd also be fine with the car pulling over to the side of the road if it got confused and waiting for someone remote to take control and drive until it was out of the situation where autonomous driving wouldn't work. Given the fact that I now work remote and am married to someone who drives if you told me I could by a car with autonomous driving for $50000 now I don't think I'd do it. I'm interested to see just how good autonomous driving gets and if it drives down the prices of taxi services. At this point I'd rather see an autonomous taxi service offering lower rates then Uber instead of buying my own car with autonomous driving.
As the article mentions a couple times, costco is doing great. Sales increasing every week for months, stock at an all time high.
Is that because of DEI, or because Costco offers better deals and people are stocking up because of economic uncertainty? I know people who ahve stopped shopping at Target including me, but anecdotes don't prove anything.
