It's any easy to measure metric, the article even shows it. What we need is a "distance from the front of the car a 4' person is visible." metric. Car manufactures should be penalized for poor visibility.

Those sorts of codes do exist already. The problem is that bike manufacturers will put on a "go fast" switch with a "Don't flip this or you'll be breaking the law" note in the manual. Of course, a lot of peopl

Some undoubtedly will. Installing a new browser is already a bit hard for most people. I think you are a little skewed in your thinking being online on HN. You also aren't thinking about age. Certainly 16 and 18 year old probably can

Some probably will. 99% of them don't even know what "Chromium" is. This doesn't have to be perfect.

And honestly, all these should ultimately just be done client side in the browser. After the browser has verified "User is x or user is over 21" there's no reason to then send that information to the website. Let websites is

The UK has draconian laws. But some of the easiest middle ground solutions that solve 90% of the problem are things like simple math problems. Get asked "3+7" and that will pretty quickly filter out almost anyone under the age of

I think small expert models could be pretty powerful from open weight providers. Imagine, for example, a model that's primarily train on typescript and general programming. It would be faster to train and it could be a lot smaller tha

All these gambling apps need regulation. And I fear they are buying politicians precisely so that doesn't happen. If I were to have my way, I'd put a law in place that limits bets to $5 max and monthly bets to $150 per month. Le

In fact, there's a pretty strong argument that the reason crime has decreased so much in the US is because we've put strict controls and protections limiting lead in the environment. We do still need deep societal focus, but that&

Do you also think the international agency for research of cancer is also the cause of the increase of cancer? It's in the name after all.

The newer models don't require more/better hardware. There's a small army of local llm enthusiasts who are running LLMs using 3090s and H100s because they have lots of memory. Them being old isn't really that big of an

The hardware requirements aren't evolving and the local models have only been improving. It's not like you'd lose capabilities, if anything this solution just gets better with time.

I don't think so. I could easily see a company deciding to host and run these models for their own development. If you have a dev team of about 10 people, a one time $50k investment in an LLM server has to be pretty tempting. Unlimi

It's region dependent and most people aren't commonly getting ticks in the first place. The reason to bias towards earlier treatment is because lyme disease can potentially result in nerve damage. For something that's alread

Yeah, it's just going to be pretty hard to really do any sort of good study here. Like, for example, is the individual in question currently on HRT? When did they start HRT? What is their current testosterone levels? And when we div

This is the crux of why neoliberal policies don't work. Public-private partnerships are a breeding ground for corruption. The government either needs to own what it owns or completely give up and leave it to a well regulated private m

Do you need to? Probably not. However it is somewhat area specific and Massachusetts is a hotbed when it comes to lyme disease carrying ticks. Lyme really should be treated right away. I think urgent care wouldn't really be out of the

The problem is concurrent access. A write bit on the value doesn't really help as you have to check and update the bit using atomic instructions. But you'd also need to reserve that bit for every read as concurrent access wouldn

Surprisingly hard to find good docs on this. [1] I was wrong, it looks like the case I gave is one which doesn't result in a new anonymous class being generated. Instead the lambda metafactory gets involved to avoid that allocation. I

If you wanted to play around and do something a little more challenging (though you'd be bulking up the javascript) then one thing you could do is play with a bespoke html compression. You could store the tags in 4 bits `0001` first b

You CAN do it, but it's much more difficult. And as far as I'm aware, both kotlin and Scala don't really suffer due to type erasure.
