And unfortunately the other way around could be about as bad:

“Don’t believe what you just saw — That’s just AI propaganda!”

Gortok is very obviously talking about red/blue team bias, trying to get objective scholarship on the issue that is unbiased in that sense.

We’re also training young people to get used to being surveilled by automated black-box tools, and to accept serious real-world consequences from their judgements.

These kinds of things are novel to us and deserving skepticism, but become just the world we live in to them.

I meant that after the Amazon experience, I don't want to buy a HDD online. Would much prefer to get it locally in person.

The premise of this news is that prices are going to climb and availability is going to drop.

And I’m not keen on having anyone ship me one of these anymore.

Walmart sells what appears to be an older version of the drive and I might have to cross my fingers and just get one of those.

Great. I’ve just returned a WD drive to Amazon after it arrived crushed in a torn-open paper bag.

The replacement arrived also in a paper bag and went straight back, this time for a refund.

I guess I should have kept that one and hoped for the best.

Good alternatives? I’ve only recently been enlightened on how profoundly sh__ty SSD is for long-term storage and I have a whole lot of images my parents took traveling the last few years of their lives.

Don’t understand != don’t care.

and more recently “So!” by Seamus Heaney in 2000. This is despite the research suggesting that the Anglo Saxons made little use of the exclamation mark

Seamus Heaney does not use an exclamation.

His version begins:

“So.”

And you create music without ever having heard music before? Or are you also extracting other artist’s work and using it as inspiration for what you do?

This is an argument that the AI should be allowed to benefit, not the person prompting it.

If people like Rob Pike and Linus Torvalds are on the opposite end of that spectrum, you might be interested in why that is.

I strongly suspect the older and more experienced a developer is, the more likely they are to code without syntax coloring, including large numbers who previously didn’t.

I’ve tried in the past to explain/promote/defend my syntax-coloring-free serenity, but I wish I’d thought of this:

Syntax is not the most challenging part of programming.

It seems like unless you’re learning the language it’s mainly a distraction.

Was wondering the same the moment I posted.

Here’s what appears to be the prior version from archive.ph, which does align more with the submitted hed:

Authorities are now considering whether a falling object, possibly from space, caused damage to the windshield and frame on a United 737 MAX over Colorado on Thursday. Various reports that include watermarked photos of the damage suggest the plane was struck by a falling object not long after taking off from Denver for Los Angeles. One of the photos shows a pilot’s arm peppered with small cuts and scratches. In his remarks after the incident, the captain reportedly described the object that hit the plane as “space debris,” which would suggest it was from a rocket or satellite or some other human-made object. Some reports say it was possibly a meteorite.

Whatever hit the plane, it was an enormously rare event and likely the first time it’s ever happened. The plane diverted without incident to Salt Lake City where the approximately 130 passengers were put on another plane to finish the last half of the 90-minute flight. Apparently only one layer of the windshield was damaged, and there was no depressurization. The crew descended from 36,000 feet to 26,000 feet for the diversion, likely to ease the pressure differential on the remaining layers of windshield. Neither the airline nor FAA have commented.

Would be nice to update the HN hed though.

From the first paragraph:

Earlier reports suggested it could have been something from space but that seems unlikely since the velocity of anything that survived reentry would likely have caused substantial damage beyond a cracked windshield. The theory was likely amplified by the captain of the flight who reportedly described the object that hit the plane as “space debris.”

Maybe the submitted headline isn’t justified?

Only folders inside the Documents folder are affected.

That's quite a caveat. The reason for it is:

size and position are stored in a hidden .framedata.json file in that folder. When a folder is opened, this file is used to restore its state.

Couldn't this information be stored centrally in the user's home for any folders opened/moved/sized, avoiding this limitation?

You can tell Youtube to prefer AV1 only for low-quality videos (https://www.youtube.com/account_playback)

What option are you referring to here? I don’t see anything that seems related to that.

Why is this issue not caught by regulators? There must be something I don’t know about how that kind of regulatory approval happens.

Tesla was able to fix this with a software update over the air, something no one else could do for a braking system. That was impressive, but the example presented a worrying question: Did engineers not do stopping-distance testing before they shipped the car to customers?

I wonder if anyone here can think of an example (or six) of other more worrying questions about this. Before cradling your head in your hands and asking where you can get a decent new car that's just a goddamn car.

Well you, kvdveer, I and likely at least a few other people are reading it, and I hope we're not beneath significantly less than two minutes of effort.

You can verify my claims in 2 minutes on Google.

I'm sure you're right, but presumably this means it would take you significantly less than two minutes to offer some concrete sources that would help enlighten kvdveer and anyone else who might be interested.

You're disagreeing with rayiner. I have no position and nothing to say on this.

You might wish to reply to that specific comment here:

It seems clear that rayiner is referring to this issue:

"normalizing relations with Russia and disengaging with the rest of the world military was the goal for us liberals back then"

... and not some expansive idea that Trump is just like 90s Democrats.

Buried at the very end of the article:

The models on this list likely reflect a combination of driver behavior and driving conditions, leading to increased crashes and fatalities,” iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer said in the report.

“A focused, alert driver, traveling at a legal or prudent speed, without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, is the most likely to arrive safely regardless of the vehicle they’re driving.

“Stage this hunk!”

(As a gay man, I appreciate an extended and detailed discussion of hunks finally appearing on HN.)

“A near impossible literacy test Louisiana used (in 1964) to suppress the black vote”

Does anyone think it might be important to note in the head that this is 1964?

(That’s actually in the article’s own headline.)

Regardless of what anyone thinks about the issue, we don’t editorialize in headlines.

Of course a clickbait headline does not literally lie.

A clickbait headline elides, omits key information strategically, deliberately creating a far juicier story in the minds of readers than is justified by the actual post-click article.

Key information like the fact that no one ever bought and drove this car on the road.

I don’t think a headline gets immunity from being called clickbait if it successfully dupes only those people insufficiently familiar with its particular subject matter.

Clickbait gets under the noses of such people by design.

That would be an excellent point for a headline that says, “This Never-Sold Concept Car Had The Wildest Dashboard You’ve Never Seen.”

Obviously, such a truthful headline would get much fewer clicks.

The actual headline intentionally wants us to think they’re going to show us the “Wildest” Knight Rider car that people were driving in the 80s. (Maybe they were rare, maybe you were too young to have seen them, but we have pics! Click here!)

(Original headline was “The 1986 Oldsmobile Incas Had The Wildest Dashboard You’ve Never Seen.”)

HN is not a car blog.

The point of clickbait is that the link will get reposted to all kinds of places online, with a headline that intentionally misrepresents the article to those readers and fools them into clicking.
