Electric seems like a great idea for a truck in general. You need high torque and with electric drive you don't need to have an overpowered and inefficient engine to handle peak load. For long distance use better aerodynamics will be i

Why? Because that's what I bet most people come to HN for. I'd rather find out that my idea is impractical or plain stupid on a HN thread than in some other and expensive way.

The logic works both ways. Given a recognition system you should be able to build/train another system to find and amplify errors in the former. The more robust the former is the more likely the latter adversarial system is to be of lo

Not sure. From what I read they've successfully introduced a vulnerability in their first attempt. Would anyone have noticed if they didn't call more attention to their activities?

I don't necessarily see the "team of automated googlers" as a fundamental or damning problem with GPT-like approaches. First I think people may have a lot fewer truly original ideas then they are willing to admit. Original th

Oh, interesting, I didn't realize. This is a faster timeline indeed compared to Sputnik V which was registered in May 2020, and I don't know the date for the Oxford/AstraZeneca one.

I don't know what you are talking about. Quoting from the first link above: China and Russia have approved vaccines already, but without waiting for the immunizations to complete the final round of tests in people. Regulators in the Un

P.S. Not sure why the downvotes without any comments. Did I write something factually inaccurate? But then again it's not surprising because vaccine conversation in some parts of the world (e.g. the US) is shaped predominantly by busin

Unlike this relatively new approach adenovirus-based vaccines have been researched and used for over 50 years (350 studies) [1]. An Ebola vaccine has been developed using this same tech. This is certainly important and impressive work, but

I can't help thinking that reliance on a smaller number of these SuperCell towers will make the network less distributed and therefore more vulnerable. For example, attacking a smaller cell may not be worth the effort for a malicious a

It's only ironic of you buy into the narrative that Russia is somehow more evil or malicious than your average superpower.

Fusion is a work in progress and it is likely what will power our civilization in the future. In the meantime there are new types of fission reactors being developed (small modular such as Nuscale, advanced fission deployed in China) and th

Yes, that's why I qualified my comment. My point is that opposition is more effective when directed at specific design issues. It's about the quality of technical discourse. Just like you wouldn't say you oppose the internet

> I'm an opponent of nuclear power Perhaps I am being pedantic, but this strikes me as a strange position to announce. Nuclear power is a broad category of things which includes fission, decay and fusion, all of the above can be use

This reminds me of how I once needed to look at a bunch of screens at once, so I made an app for cardboard VR that put a sphere of virtual screens hanging in the air all around me. All I had to do was swivel in my chair. The resolution was

These are good news. However, one of the biggest unsolved problems of the EV industry is utilization and recycling of degraded battery pack cells. You can't simply take an old EV to a junkyard due to fammable and polluting chemicals in

It's also possible that the idea is not competitive. The article is not quite clear. If it were the case, then it would be irresponsible to continue to finance what amounts to a rather exotic hobby.

A pick-up truck, especially one with a four-door cab, is by design the swiss army knife of vehicles. If you are not constrained by something specific, then a pick-up is the rational choice.
