t3rmi··on Waymo now does 50k paid trips per week
Recently took a waymo in Phoenix. Its was pretty smooth.

There was an event and several road closures. It managed to reroute using an alternative path.

Some times the waymo was cheaper than uber and at other times was twice as expensive.

From blind apparently most googlers in the building were not aware of this incident until the cops showed up.
t3rmi··on Boeing wants FAA to exempt MAX 7 from safety rules to get it in the air
Recently my wife has been checking every flight we taking to ensure that its not Boeing.

I initially thought she was overreacting but based on what I’m seeing from Boeing here I have to thank her for her diligence.

t3rmi··on Gitlab loses one-third of its value after company issues weak forecast
I wonder if we can compare remote vs in person companies across industries and see stock price deltas across the last 2 years.

You know what they say, if it looks like shit and smells like shit. It's shit.

This looks like the playbook for small scale banks now. Just gamble and say oops I fkd up, can the govt pretty please make my clients whole?

2 years later bam start the same bank again 2.0.

This is incorrect. The correct analogy would be if I set the speed of my automated truck to 20mph over the speed limit causing me to earn 10% more income for 10 years. Then the truck crashes and burns and my neighbors pay for it.
t3rmi··on OpenAI Status: Multiple engines are down
Open AI's CEO Sam Altman's take is that they will only ever allow API access to their models to avoid misuse.

I don't get HN's take with wanting everything open sourced. Some things are expensive to create and dangerous in the wrong hands. Not everything can and should be open sourced.

t3rmi··on Hidetaka Miyazaki sees death as a feature, not a bug
The secret to beating Isshin is you dont try to kill him. Think of him as a friend you’re trying to hang around and not let go. Once you get muscle memory for all his movesets you can sense that you can end the game whenever you want.
t3rmi··on Tesla is outrunning the supply chain crunch
I'd recommend interested folks to listen to Musk on Joe Rogan's podcast. Musk gives detailed explanations on the challenges they face and how they solve them.
t3rmi··on On Smoking
I smoke occasionally with friends during parties and never after. I've been doing this for a few years now and haven't gotten addicted. This is probably due to the fact the I was heavily addicted to video games during college and kinda of have a mental resistance now.

Smoking occasionally with friends is fun. Especially during cold weather.

This is a slippery slope. Should we also ban high sugar products, alcohol and videogames?
t3rmi··on How Doctors Die (2013)
My grandfather is suffering from what I guess is intermediate onset of Alzheimer's. A couple of months ago he used to ask for my wife by name during every video call. During our last call he forgot that I'd gotten married at all.

It's terrifying watch him lose his memories week by week.

t3rmi··on Ask HN: What Lived Up to the Hype?
I've recently tried the Beyond Meat patties from CostCo. They taste great. I could tell it wasn't beef but it tasted good enough that I didn't care.
t3rmi··on Teach Yourself Computer Science
I would recommend http://www.bottomupcs.com/ if you're looking for a quick crash course. It's a bit out of date but its the shortest book I've found which covers most of the computer science stack.
t3rmi··on 82-Year-Old Japanese Woman Finds Success in Coding
I think its due to a couple of things. 1. Free "Space"/"Threads" in our brain as kids we had a clean install of an os with only hunger and sleep to worry about. As adults we juggle with dozens of things in our mind. 2. Fear of failure. As kids we dont really care about what others think as we grow older we lose this wonderful ability :(
t3rmi··on FCC Authorizes SpaceX to Provide Broadband Satellite Services
Thanks. It looks like their orbit is around 800 miles compared to the usual 22,000. Expected latency seems to be around 25ms. Would satellites be used for first hop only? I image latency would quickly increase if used for multiple hops.
t3rmi··on FCC Authorizes SpaceX to Provide Broadband Satellite Services
How can satellites have low latency? The current average ping times seem to be around 900ms. Isn't this almost unusable?
t3rmi··on Tesla fatal car crash prompts NTSB investigation
Maybe we can trust the bad ratings but not the good ones :P
t3rmi··on Tesla is just months from a total collapse, says hedge-fund manager
That does not invalidate his points about Tesla's profits, Model 3 delays etc. He might be right about that Tesla is overvalued.
t3rmi··on Japan’s Prisons Are a Haven for Elderly Women
Yeah 2-3 years for shoplifting stuff worth less than 50$ seems harsh.
t3rmi··on Ask HN: What has HN given you?
You should get their unlimited(30gb) plan. I've had it for the past year, it's been super good so far.
t3rmi··on Acne Vulgaris: A Disease of Western Civilization (2002)
Sorry I guess I generalized too much. I definitely get super oily after eating dairy It might be that some people have my skin type. I've noticed some of my friends dont get oily at all after eating a ton of pizza. Depends on the person I guess. As for the snake oil thing their treatment has already worked for me so if you have acne I would advise giving it a try.
t3rmi··on Acne Vulgaris: A Disease of Western Civilization (2002)
There are several kinds of acne. The kind that you get when you hit puberty is not related to diet. Adult acne in most cases is however.

The thing is food does not directly cause acne. The logic is pretty simple actually. Acne causing bacteria grow in blocked pores and greasy food and dairy makes me super oily . More sebum more blocked pores aaand more acne.

t3rmi··on Acne Vulgaris: A Disease of Western Civilization (2002)
Read my reply below. The prescriptions are standard the pore unclogging/extractions and peels are the real differentiator. Oh yeah and the Diet restrictions.
t3rmi··on Acne Vulgaris: A Disease of Western Civilization (2002)
Its the dairy
t3rmi··on Acne Vulgaris: A Disease of Western Civilization (2002)
Their treatment regimen goes something like this, You have a session with an esthetician who will assess your acne severity. They will give you a list of food to avoid and to no one's surprise it contains dairy and greasy foods http://www.thefacialroom.com/upload/FOODS%20AND%20LIFESTYLE%...

After that you'll have monthly sessions where they unclog all your pores(called extractions) and remove white heads afte that Peels for the hyper pigmentation.

You'll be prescribed benzoyl perioxide and mandelic serum for acne and hyperpigmentation.

After a few sessions all your pores are clean and tight and bam almost no more acne.

The peels and mandelic serum worked wonders for my hyper pigmentation.

If you are in the bay area I can give you the address of the clinic I go to.

t3rmi··on Acne Vulgaris: A Disease of Western Civilization (2002)
If you are in the Bay Area check out Acneology or the US Face reality clinics. They basically have the whole science of acne treatment down to almost perfection. Dermatology didn't help me at all but their treatments worked wonders. I'll give out more info if anyone is interested. Source - I've had acne for a decade :( more or less cleared up now.
