Recently took a waymo in Phoenix. Its was pretty smooth.

There was an event and several road closures. It managed to reroute using an alternative path.

Some times the waymo was cheaper than uber and at other times was twice as expensive.

Open AI's CEO Sam Altman's take is that they will only ever allow API access to their models to avoid misuse.

I don't get HN's take with wanting everything open sourced. Some things are expensive to create and dangerous in the wrong hands. Not everything can and should be open sourced.

The secret to beating Isshin is you dont try to kill him. Think of him as a friend you’re trying to hang around and not let go. Once you get muscle memory for all his movesets you can sense that you can end the game whenever you want.

On Smoking 5 years ago

I smoke occasionally with friends during parties and never after. I've been doing this for a few years now and haven't gotten addicted. This is probably due to the fact the I was heavily addicted to video games during college and kinda of have a mental resistance now.

Smoking occasionally with friends is fun. Especially during cold weather.

This is a slippery slope. Should we also ban high sugar products, alcohol and videogames?

My grandfather is suffering from what I guess is intermediate onset of Alzheimer's. A couple of months ago he used to ask for my wife by name during every video call. During our last call he forgot that I'd gotten married at all.

It's terrifying watch him lose his memories week by week.

I think its due to a couple of things. 1. Free "Space"/"Threads" in our brain as kids we had a clean install of an os with only hunger and sleep to worry about. As adults we juggle with dozens of things in our mind. 2. Fear of failure. As kids we dont really care about what others think as we grow older we lose this wonderful ability :(

Sorry I guess I generalized too much. I definitely get super oily after eating dairy It might be that some people have my skin type. I've noticed some of my friends dont get oily at all after eating a ton of pizza. Depends on the person I guess. As for the snake oil thing their treatment has already worked for me so if you have acne I would advise giving it a try.

There are several kinds of acne. The kind that you get when you hit puberty is not related to diet. Adult acne in most cases is however.

The thing is food does not directly cause acne. The logic is pretty simple actually. Acne causing bacteria grow in blocked pores and greasy food and dairy makes me super oily . More sebum more blocked pores aaand more acne.

Their treatment regimen goes something like this, You have a session with an esthetician who will assess your acne severity. They will give you a list of food to avoid and to no one's surprise it contains dairy and greasy foods http://www.thefacialroom.com/upload/FOODS%20AND%20LIFESTYLE%...

After that you'll have monthly sessions where they unclog all your pores(called extractions) and remove white heads afte that Peels for the hyper pigmentation.

You'll be prescribed benzoyl perioxide and mandelic serum for acne and hyperpigmentation.

After a few sessions all your pores are clean and tight and bam almost no more acne.

The peels and mandelic serum worked wonders for my hyper pigmentation.

If you are in the bay area I can give you the address of the clinic I go to.

If you are in the Bay Area check out Acneology or the US Face reality clinics. They basically have the whole science of acne treatment down to almost perfection. Dermatology didn't help me at all but their treatments worked wonders. I'll give out more info if anyone is interested. Source - I've had acne for a decade :( more or less cleared up now.
