The notifications mostly suck unless they’re related to your heart or oxygen level, though you can choose to turn off what you don’t want. It’s the main reason why I wear an Apple Watch even though I’m a big fan of Pebble; loved my Pebble Steel. The fitness trackers tied to Apple Fitness are also another big feature for me. It’s what keeps me wearing it despite the really terrible battery life where I need to charge twice a day.

I guess they want the masses to start sailing the high seas again

The primary way to play Duskers is via scripting in a CLI

AI, but not the ASI or AGI kind, which makes you worry about the present since you don’t need a “god in a box” AI to end the world

I feel that it’s time that we stop spending our focus on designing UX inside boxes, but we are in VR and AR winter at the moment.

When the dev for BodyCam posted his initial streams, I thought it was fake. Also was a solo dev though I think he either has a partner or a team now

The Stardew Valley dev did do everything himself though

Unreal 5 is amazing with photo realism. Bodycam uses this feature well too

“protects EU companies from more competitive foreign companies”

Tbf protectionist laws are everywhere now including the US. Globalism is dying.

The spirit of the law was to protect people’s data from every entity including government bodies.

This is just more evidence that the GDPR was just a set of protectionist laws for EU companies.

These are mainly political purges dressed up as “anti corruption drives”. Not ideal, but at least someone high up is getting punished compared to slaps on the wrist in the West.

That is obviously no longer the goal. It hasn’t been for years now. However, its original goal was to provide “every person on the planet free access to the sum of all human knowledge“.

I'm sure the Wikipedia mods have many great, valid reasons for deleting articles. Unfortunately for the ignorant masses, this has bad optics, since it looks like it runs counter to their goal of "cataloging all human knowledge".

Humanoid robots are like dance lessons, it is cool, it is sexy, and it may pay off in the future, but the value is much less certain

They need a solution to their plummeting birthrates which are officially worse than either China’s or Japan’s

YouTube is a completely different experience once you pay to turn off the automated ads

Why make a pointless comment when you no longer have anything substantial or interesting to write, or is that an "eastern centric view"?

The CCP's recent yearly subsidies for China's EV industry ranges from $30 billion - $46 billion per year compared to $10 billion - $20 billion per year for the US. A conservative estimate of total subsidies lands China at about $230 billion while the US was at $70 billion.

Who cares if another country didn’t take advantage of globalism? This doesn’t weaken my argument that globalism is what helped China rise again from centuries of mismanagement and neglect

such oversimplification on steroids is totally misleading.

Yes, so the kettle is calling out the pot?

globalism was never invented or promoted to help any country in poverty

It doesn’t matter what it was designed for. What matters is what it does in reality and there is no doubt that globalism helped lift China from Mao’s disastrous policies. That’s not mutually exclusive from China’s past as the Middle Kingdom

Sure, but not at China’s scale and no where close to number of industries where China does it. Why? The US was a net importer in order to support the dollar being the global reserve.

What’s worse, tariffs or outright banning the competition from your market? China has done both despite globalism being what has lifted it from poverty. Why is everyone suddenly surprised that globalism and free markets are coming to an end? Is this a net good? Mostly no unless you count more redundant supply chains.

No, he means that the US will close most of its domestic market to competition just like China has for decades, and the US may start subsidizing and dumping its goods everywhere

They have a lowering kit, but it’s “coming soon” and it costs extra

My point is a good portion of HN is composed of pirates who don’t like rules and have a higher tolerance for risk. You can dislike that all you want for any given reason both valid and petty. However, what you’re seeing are core values from the people who created this community and the same type of people still run it today so you’re going to keep seeing this kind of thinking moving forward

Ofcourse. This is HN and not LinkedIn.

We have a lot more people here who like bending rules as opposed to following them.

Regardless of who was controlling it, why did this guy let his car jump the kerb and go through a house? Why was he going fast enough?

There are decades worth of man-machines UX research to prove this: the more you lean on automated systems to perform a manual task, like specific vehicle operations, the more your reaction time and relefexes for that specific motor skill will suffer.

Non-level 4 driver assistance tech should only be used for helping prevent accidents and not pretend to be actual full self driving

"Already we have turned all of our critical industries... over to these... things... these lumps of silver and paste we call nanorobots. And now we propose to teach them intelligence? What, pray tell, will we do when these little homunculi awaken one day and announce that they have no further need of us?"

Sister Miriam Godwinson, We Must Dissent

This game and its ideas are so timeless.

I wish they would release a remastered version of the game with updated graphics and movies, with nothing else changed. The game mechanics were great. Beyond Earth was not good in comparison.

If safety is a lie, then the arguement for massive and overbearing regulation and controls gets a massive boost

sure, but how else would you better guarantee safety? How else can we avoid annoying guardrails?

Besides, it's not like you can't have different agents with skills collaborating
