Have they actually built only 93 trucks? Or are these 93 models?

The sound tracks of this game are beautiful. 26 new tracks in this version is such a treat!

0AD gave me an insight about how exponential systems work. The game's bot difficulty is essentially a multiplier on the resources the bot harvests. Most people find the bot very hard to beat when they start playing, even at the lowest difficultly. Everything starts out evenly but all of a sudden the bot becomes impossible to beat.

The key is to take a risk early in the game to break the bot's exponential growth with an attack. Then even the hardest difficultly becomes easy. It's interesting how sudden and aggressive that growth is.

Whenever you post a link in Whatsapp, the app tries to create a card from the metadata available in the link. The procedure to make the card presumably goes through fb servers and is outside the e2e. Could they be using that?

Another hypothesis is that you are taking other steps such as searching for that topic so that you can send something to your wife those extra steps might be enabling tracking.

it's incredibly creative that you thought of this

I am curious, what is the success rate with this? Do you get a valid JSON every time? Does it contain the right info every time?

I admit I hadn't thought this is YC's name origin. I didn't research it, just thought maybe "Y" is actually supposed to be "why" and "combinator" had to do something with _combining synergies_ or something. You know, something cryptic that sv people think is cool.

This, on the other hand, is pretty clever with the recursion reference. Sometimes I forget that YC was a wild idea at its time too, aiming to realize other wild ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Unrelated to the article, I noticed that the article's page loaded extremely fast, and the reading was refreshingly focused. I had never been to the "lite" subdomain of CNN until now, but it's a reminder of what we are missing with all those news articles that take a while minute to load the autoplay videos and the parallax ads.

Why all the negativity in the comments here? Yes, sometimes it is extremely valuable to make a nice thin wrapper on existing tech. As a community, we can't always complain about the user interface of FOSS tools, and then when someone makes a UI, again complain that they haven't done anything or the size is large. Pick a side!

I have like 7 Slacks. 2 of them are paid, 5 of them are hobby that I may use once a month. What are you suggesting? That I pay an extra $40/month just so that maybe I need an old message in one of those? I'd agree with you if Slack were indie devs but does Slack need my $40?

The unhappiness comes from the fact that people want to rely on a service, even if it's free. It would make sense if this was a change for the sake of resources or paid user experience. This is for neither, just a tiny push for people to pay or leave. Ironically, It may make me want to stop paying because having all the conversations in one place is nice if I take the hobby slacks elsewhere

Reading the statement carefully, I don't think they'll completely stop the production of the two cars. Just the ICE versions will discontinue. They have seemed to word it like this to create fomo.

I am always pretty concerned about a "hot mic" situation. Not because I might say something outrageous, but because perhaps I want to sing the lyric stuck in my head, or problem solve by taking to myself out loud. Managing to disconnect is already somewhat hard when you jump in and out of meetings on multiple platforms. All it takes is forgetting a button and you're broadcasting yourself by accident. As a user, that's my initial pause when seeing these kinds of things.

This one is the winner for me in the thread. I saw a video of it a while ago and I was fascinated by the idea that voltage differences are the way the DNA gets expressed. Yet nobody seems to be taking about the bioelectrical science of it except for this small academic crowd.

Significant clarification missing from the title: "IN AMERICA"

And to some Americans' surprise, not everywhere is like that. When you build your cities around cars, no other mode of transportation can thrive. Over a century of sprawl and road widening can't have an overnight fix.

I am trying to find how they define "cheese" in this study and I can't seem to find it. They talk about high saturated fat content but that's not a defining feature of cheese. For example, cottage cheese can have low to no fat and it's still "cheese". The cheddar slices they put on hamburgers is mostly vegetable oil, but that too is considered cheese.

Yes the website is a pain to use with all the re-rendering. I take the content less seriously when it's like that

Doesn't work for me on touch screen too

Summary: let's use plastics and rocket fuel so that we can keep using plastics and fossil fuels

While I happily read the BBC quite often, I feel this report is a bit misguided when it suggests that Macron was doing anything wrong.

Uber and his ministry were looking at creating a regulatory framework for ride-sharing. The BBC frames this as Macron ignoring illegal activity. I think from Macron's perspective Uber's activity was "unregulated" not "illegal". That's a healthy approach towards change. Otherwise we can't renew our laws.

The BBC's view of how politicians and innovators should interact seems to be too narrow. I think Macron can be a role model actually.

also yes Travis was a controversial figure, that seems beside the point. Stuff he did elsewhere don't seem to matter here.

No we couldn't switch the whole planet to nuclear that easily. If you are a proponent of nuclear, we are living on the biggest nuclear power plant we would ever want, we just have lay some pipe and extract the heat. I'm talking about geothermal.

This is only 850B, to me that was useful info that was mentioned in the headline. Yes it might get larger in the future or it might not.

So did someone buy an empty ".ai" domain? Is that how?

For me it has always been confusing that how these decisions come to be. Specifically, in Canada the internet is overpriced and it is getting more monopolized by the day. A Canadian YouTuber's recent story of being in front of a house committee really put things into context

Long story short, the decision makers live in a small bubble that tells them what they want to hear

Good memories with Atom. I had a silly "super mode" extension on it that gave me streaks when typing uninterrupted. It has lots of action graphics and screen shakes, I loved it.

Layoffs are on the rise http://layoffs.fyi/ (the graphs don't show well on mobile)

I don't use it often but I'm a big fan. I think just like how you don't look up whether someone is using outlook or gmail when you want to email them, IM and video calls should not be bound to clients. It's stupid that I need MS Teams to talk to someone, when all my stuff are on another platform. Matrix is fixing that.

This... was hard to read for me. I am not the type who jumps on the bandwagon of "schools are dead" but I had to pause here:

> This was the first time when 75% of the class was cheating way beyond the pale for half a semester

I know people who are on school for immigration reasons. Specially with computer science, there is so much nonsense that sometimes people must work through. This doesn't mean they don't have integrity.

The author says they sympathize with students. But do they really? Making the students write a humiliating "academic integrity essay" is not engagement. It's forcing someone to smile and then boasting that they have a good time.

I am forever grateful for my bachelor's. Not because they thought us a lot, actually the opposite. I happened to be in a unique situation in which course work was practically non-existent.

It was marvelous! As a 19 year old I was just learning to have adult social experiences and the school really allowed me to do that. The classes were not about pass or fail. They were about being in an environment and finding what's interesting within it. I know it sounds like this sort of thing will create terrible candidates for FAANG, and maybe so (not in our case), but perhaps it could also avoid the need to question the integrity of a teenager.

I use it at least multiple times a week. It's awesome.

Sorry I'm being too lazy to run the code, but are there any examples of its output? Like, how comparable is it to the openAi's

As someone who had bought ads there, I can tell you this is not as true as you think. You pay for the ad and the business picks up a bit, but the reported conversion numbers at least for me never made sense. It's really about making more money than you put in that you keep it going. Now given the ethics around Facebook, I don't do it anymore. I say it's all about CPC, I admit here it isn't.
