DriverDaily··on Opus 5.5 is good at explainer videos
What about teaching employees the basics of a job?

I love using notebookLM for orientation stuff.

DriverDaily··on A pharmacy chain in Vermont implemented AI for efficiency
I think that’s the idea behind those centralized pharmacies like Amazon health. Easier than putting a pill dispensing assembly line in every CVS.
DriverDaily··on A sociotechnical threat model for AI-driven smart home devices
Surveillance and locks are both imperfect solutions to the trust problem.
DriverDaily··on A sociotechnical threat model for AI-driven smart home devices
I’m not sure an absence of surveillance is what creates “humane trust”. I’m certain we had locks on doors and security guards before the internet.
DriverDaily··on CarPlay Is Additive
Aux cables were ubiquitous when cars were rolling speakers. I wouldn’t buy a car without an aux input, I didn’t care how many cds it could hold.

Now that cars are rolling screens, I wouldn’t buy a car without screen mirroring for the same reason.

DriverDaily··on Sprinkling self-doubt on ChatGPT
We should probably be aiming for some stress, but not too much. See *Yerkes–Dodson*

DriverDaily··on Can Earth's rotation generate power? Physicists divided over controversial claim
You’re right, I had that backwards
DriverDaily··on Can Earth's rotation generate power? Physicists divided over controversial claim
Can we put energy in to speed it up?

That way a day can be 24 hours exactly instead of 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds, etc...

DriverDaily··on Tokyo is set to introduce a four-day workweek for government employees
I guess only Nixon could go to China?

When the US government adopts an employment policy private companies usually follow. Either because they do business with the government and have to comply, or it affects so many people there's a shift in norms.

It is! I've often wanted to search for something that happens in a video instead of just the title, description, and keywords.
DriverDaily··on Show HN: Firecrawl-Simple – Stable fork of Firecrawl optimized for self-hosting
It's probably safe to assume that if you're looking for a fork of Firecrawl, you already know what Firecrawl does.
DriverDaily··on Did your car witness a crime? Bay Area police may be coming for your Tesla
> Karen-like drivers who will eventually start threatening other people to report them,

That's an argument for automating the system, taking the biased human actor out of the process.

DriverDaily··on FAA says 737 MAX operator discovered loose bolts in rudder system in December
We’re on the same page.

You’re acknowledging that the safety record is just a proxy for safety. That’s what I’m saying too.

I would argue that using the number of incidents as a proxy for safety ignores the trend.

DriverDaily··on FAA says 737 MAX operator discovered loose bolts in rudder system in December
So your assesment of how safe the plane is doesn't depend on anything except Boeing's process? For example, you don't care about the number of accidents per operating hours?
DriverDaily··on FAA says 737 MAX operator discovered loose bolts in rudder system in December
If you want to be pedantic, you're conflating 'having a safe record' with 'being safe.' It's just an indicator.
DriverDaily··on FAA says 737 MAX operator discovered loose bolts in rudder system in December
> nobody seems to care?

Clearly people care. They are literally checking every bolt for proper torque. When they found a few undertorque bolts it becomes a national news, it gets shared so much it ended up on Hacker News, and you cared enough to comment.

"end up being" is not enough of a disclaimer for you?
DriverDaily··on FAA says 737 MAX operator discovered loose bolts in rudder system in December
737 Max is going to end up being one of the safest planes to fly in.

Every inch of every plane combed over, every engineering decision re-examined, every system and sensor double-checked for redundancy and reliability, the pilots alert for any sign of problems.

DriverDaily··on Mechanical Watch (2022)
For me it was an easy choice. First, I was starting to worry about heart health. Second, my mechanical watches could be sold for more than I paid for them.
DriverDaily··on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
Who sacks the person who sacks?
DriverDaily··on Sam Bankman-Fried testifies, says he "skimmed over" FTX terms of service
> he's naive enough that he thinks that will work in court under the eye of the whole media

I mean his publicity tour immediately after FTX went under worked pretty well for a while. He got Kevin O’ Leary to blame CZ in front of congress. And Michael Lewis painted a pretty positive picture. He talked to everyone he could and the vast majority of the media were not sure if he did or did not commit a crime.

All he has to do is convince the jury to have a reasonable doubt.

DriverDaily··on Oil sector is lobbying for inefficient hydrogen cars to delay electrification
Getting electricity out of hydrogen works the same way as getting electricity out of all the sources you mentioned, except your generator now produces zero emissions.
DriverDaily··on Oil sector is lobbying for inefficient hydrogen cars to delay electrification
Anybody who needs to run 24/7 and/or can't count on an electric grid could use hydrogen power: A logistics network, an army, public transportation, utility companies, forestry or mining...
DriverDaily··on Two photographers captured the same millisecond in time (2018)
Bias as in training? Photographers are trained to pick the most interesting subjects, perspectives, and moments.

Waves like this have a clear peak when they stop rising, but before they fall, so there is a natural moment to click the shutter.

DriverDaily··on Show HN: Host a Website in the URL
I see, I misunderstood
DriverDaily··on Show HN: Host a Website in the URL
Wouldn't infinitely spawning web workers do the same thing as a zip bomb?

```

<script>

   const workerBlob = new Blob(['

        while (true) { console.log("this is a worker that will never stop") }

    '], { type: 'application/javascript' })

   const workerBlobURL = URL.createObjectURL(workerBlob)

   while (true) { new Worker(workerBlobURL) }
</script>

```

Plenty of room for a recursive function with no base case
DriverDaily··on What happened in this GPT-3 conversation?
I’m only familiar with people claiming AI may one day automate some of their tasks, not that it’s currently ready to replace them.
DriverDaily··on Wavy walls use fewer bricks than a straight wall (2020)
Also, looks harder to mow the lawn.
DriverDaily··on Launch HN: Roundtable (YC S23) – Using AI to Simulate Surveys
You want a 90/10: 90% of the benefit, 10% of the effort.

This is like a 10/10.
