- NatsuI'm surprised the don't know to treat it as a 4-way stop, either. This kind of outage is pretty common in Phoenix, too, which is another major Waymo market. It probably happens to at least some part of the city every monsoon season.
- > In that sense the methodological problems here are more serious than the ones they point to in the World Happiness Report.
It's a simple question, sure, but it's not clear that it's a very meaningful one, even if other approaches aren't necessarily any better. When I think of the word happiness, I don't exactly associate it with suicide or rarely smiling.
- I grew up in a world where everyone knew cursive, and until this sort of discussion became popular in recent years, it honestly wouldn't have occurred to me that there were many people who didn't know. But I guess they had to cut some things out of the curriculum and it's not as useful as it used to be.
- Anything you're forced to do too much you lose all enjoyment of. If you're given at least a bit of agency, it's far more enjoyable.
I read because I wanted to all the time, but every reading assignment was a chore.
- > Why would you write in cursive?
Anyone using paper + pen? Writing a letter or thank you note?
You know, stuff only people who grew up before the internet was popular still do.
- You probably mean Inverse Cramer:

- This doesn't even seem to look at "predictions" if you dig into what it actually did. Looking at my own example (#210 on https://karpathy.ai/hncapsule/hall-of-fame.html with 4 comments), very little of what I said could be construed as "predictions" at all.
I got an A for commenting on DF saying that I had not personally seen save corruption and listing weird bugs. It's true that weird bugs have long been a defining feature of DF, but I didn't predict it would remain that way or say that save corruption would never be a big thing, just that I hadn't personally seen it.
Another A for a comment on Google wallet just pointing out that users are already bad at knowing what links to trust. Sure, that's still true (and probably will remain true until something fundamental changes), but it was at best half a prediction as it wasn't forward looking.
Then something on hospital airships from the 1930s. I pointed out that one could escape pollution, I never said I thought it would be a big thing. Airships haven't really ever been much of a thing, except in fiction. Maybe that could change someday, but I kinda doubt it.
Then lastly there was the design patent famously referred to as the "rounded corner" patent. It dings me for simplifying it to that label, despite my actual statements being that yes, there's more, but just minor details like that can be sufficient for infringement. But the LLM says I'm right about ties to the Samsung case and still oversimplifying it. Either way, none of this was really a prediction to begin with.
- Also, if they're known to be at such a high risk of adverse events, would they even be given the treatments, trial or not?
- Fifteen here, I think I found it by searching to see if a different Hacker News was still around (it wasn't) but I wasn't disappointed and stayed.
- It's not really "accidental. Exposing stuff like this is precisely why they rolled out the country of origin feature.
- What is the benefit of using R if it's really Q?
- A lot of pro-environment people are reconsidering nuclear these days and were even before things like AI started demanding more electricity because it doesn't involve burning more hydrocarbons.
- > and they aren’t irrational (i.e. they have a finite precision).
I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding what you mean by 'finite precision' but the ordinary meaning of those words would seem to limit it to rational numbers?
- We had AOL back in the day, but...
- I actually still have an original 8088 sitting in a closet. I need to figure out something to do with it some day.
- Phoenix, Arizona
- Some places will dismiss a traffic ticket if you attend a driver's education class to get updates, though you can only do this once every few years. So at least there have been some attempts to get people to update their learning.
- It'd have to make a false statement of fact. The problem with that is, according to the article, Schumer actually did say the words and the video has a disclaimer that it's AI, though it could be more visible since it seems to get partially hidden by video controls. From the article:
> A small disclaimer tucked in the corner acknowledges its artificial origins. ... > The video has bewildered those who watched it online, given that the quote itself is real and on the record for Punchbowl News. In the original interview, Schumer explained that Democrats had prepared their healthcare-focused shutdown strategy well in advance, adding: “Their whole theory was – threaten us, bamboozle us and we would submit in a day or two.”
The part that's false here, the idea that it's a real video, would be hurt by the disclaimer of it being AI generated in the corner. And it's not a misquote of him, so it seems hard to make a defamation case out of this, even if it feels wrong.
- It's definitely easier to drive than in many places, but "doesn't get weather" is not quite right when there are significant dust storms every year. But few people even know what haboob means, so I guess they don't know how bad the loss of visibility is during one.
- No take, only throw.
