Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28411712 I was originally critical of this piece because I work in a highly regulated industry (and silos can lead to compliance issues), but after a little more con

It would be helpful to have a step-by-step walkthrough on the site (video or screenshots). The "How It Works" section is a little vague to suit that bill. I'm looking for both an example of what to expect and inspiration for

I actually stopped using a phone case because I liked the dings and scratches on my phone. The wear made it feel like my device. As for cloth, I feel similarly about my worn flannel shirts and some chunky-knit sweaters, but not car seats

Their teleoperator position from 3-11 PM, M-F, pays between $22 and $31 an hour with benefits and is onsite in Palo Alto.[1] I'll be curious if they move those positions to a lower cost-of-living area as they scale up. 1: https:/

Per the keynote video, the bodysuit is machine washable. As long as 1X stays in business or enthusiasts exist, I have to imagine there will be some option to clean/replace the head covering on the $20,000 robot.

"Deviance" is probably the word to focus on here, as in "deviation" from the mean. Drinking underage is a deviation from the norm of following the law. Moving is a deviation from the norm of staying (as evidenced by the

I think Mr. Sanger is writing from a place of familiarity with Wikipedia at the highest levels. Many of the things he criticizes may negatively impact the functions at the top, but make the on-ramps and experience at the bottom fantastic. I

I agree, the author should have made it clearer, but I think the implication is that the marketplace makes it easier to redeploy labor in the face of uncertainty around which tasks will be taken over by AI and what tasks humans will need to

I think the word "potentially" is carrying a lot of weight there. Do you have any sources that these things happen and/or that they negatively impact students outside of those programs? The argument I've heard previously

Ah, thank you. My sentence about "gropules" was a dig at "empaths". You may not have run into them, but they're tarot and crystal adjacent. It's a teeny tiny minority of people who talk about "empathy&quot

I think the author understands that "have a little empathy" is a request to modify their behavior, but expresses their frustration that the request is unclear and (in the author's experience) the requestors won't clarify

Can you tell me which specific use of the word "empathy" I am arguing against? Because I don't think I'm arguing against any definition at all. I think I'm arguing that telling someone to behave a way that they don&

This is addressed in the post: > "Usually, 'be more empathetic' was a veiled request for me to modify my behavior or thinking towards someone (e.g. they thought I was rude to someone and wanted me to apologize and change m

From the Roman Catholic point of view, there's a variety of answers. For super up-to-date happenings, you can go to Vatican News[1]. (A great example in the first article, "Holy See urges moratorium on autonomous weapons at UN deb

Yeah, a 5 second clip of the word "Object" being inflected like it's actually speaking. But also it ends with "...object ject". When you inspect the network traffic, it's pulling down 6 .mp3 files which contain

I think it would 100% work for someone who truly finds the "most-fun part of baseball" "having a correctly called game by the rules". Initially I was going to argue that that's a silly thing to prioritize in a gam

As I recall, some baseball video games will let you set both teams to be controlled by the computer. Guaranteed perfectly-called games every time. Doesn't sound particularly fun to me, but to each their own.

That's true, and as far as my quick research has gone, the plastic is burned off during the smelting process of aluminum recycling. Because of the small amount of plastic in each can, and the high heat of the smelting process, odds are
