| Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B

The title is not the linked article’s title. It is the title of the first article in the description.

FWIW, “agrees” is a weird verb. Kinda sounds like they are doing this out of kindness and not their own interests.

Seems like if AI is such an accelerator, leveraging 4,000 more people using AI will generate that much more shareholder value.

Any layoff that blames AI and doesn't address the fact that the company is saying it would prefer to make less, they are lying.

Rational actors should be pushing to grow when others are fearful. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox

I'm guessing it is because docker runs a linux VM when it is running on macos.

I'm curious why that is called "rendering" rather than "compiling". Is the code boiler plate and just a change in the NN's representation?

Not clear if you need a car first, or if they will mail you a seat like the old netflix dvd model.

What does a 1% increase in congestion mean for people in traffic?

How much value did that increase in congestion (and environmental impact) provide ride-sharing customers?

I understand the judgement calls one has to make as a moderator and I see how they are discussing the same topic.

The url for https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26887670 does not indicate that the University of Minnesota has been banned from contributing to the linux kernel. I judged that as a separate and unique part of the event.

Apologies if that isn't in alignment with how HN conversations are moderated.

A Wankel has seals attached to the rotor that rub against the wall of the chamber. This engine only has three points on the chamber wall that touch the rotor, so the seals can be installed on the chamber wall and it is significant easier to cool and lubricate a fixed seal rather than a rotating seal.

He still will work with Apple although Apple will need a special adapter.

I'd still consider a 410 as a broken link. The article states

> Pretty much the only good reason for a document to disappear from the Web is that the company which owned the domain name went out of business or can no longer afford to keep the server running.

Pre-DMCA. If this gets an update, TBL should add legal reasons and law enforcement as a reason for URI change.

If you put the car's public key on the fob, the fob can validate that it is talking directly to the car over a secure connection and then the car can validate the fob's secret.

Would drones be considered a loop hole here?

Is gmail lumped under the "etc." above?

No tech companies in the suburbs of boston? There is Autodesk, RedHat, EMC and many others.

p values are a measure of the accuracy of the numbers. They are measuring how close the sample mean is to the population mean. In the case of the paper, the p values represent how close the sample mean of the head gaze, eye gaze, smile intensity and smile duration measurements are to the population means of the same values.

90% isn't all that great of a result considering only about 6.7% of the US population suffers from depression each year[1] and the study was done in California. Just returning false would give you better accuracy.

Still Eliza on steroids is pretty cool. Can't wait till they integrate it into emacs.

I realize it is for better sensitivity and control, but the lack of shoes in the picture is amusing.

On a more serious note, maybe taking that talent and having them move up through the ranks on lower series to get the experience to go pro is a viable option. If the talent is as good as they say, then they'll do well on smaller carts and get the experience to race professionally quicker. Nissan should just make it the "senior-class" part of their program.

Launches? I used it in Boston ~4-5 years ago.

It has been corrected in the content of the post and reddit doesn't let you edit the title of a post.

It used to be the opposite. You could tell which was the "better" product by choosing the one with the worst appearance. The train of thought went something like, assuming the companies paid the similar amount to develop the products and the design and engineering cost a significant amount of money, then the company that didn't put the money in design put it in engineering. So uglier products were better engineered, prettier products were crap. Lenovo/IBM laptops are one of my favorite surviving examples of this phenomenon.

Pushing technical trading platforms to the public? I don't follow how there is an overgeneralized public here, or how they are pushing something. They are releasing a tool to those who want to use it.

What companies like this do makes the RESEARCH for quant trading available to those who otherwise wouldn't have access. The organizations and people with the means to buy or build their own tools to do this were already doing it. Whether or not they are doing something that benefits the greater good is neither here nor there.

Saying those tools shouldn't be available to the general public is analogous to the old gun ownership argument. If guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns. If only a limited few have the means to do quant research, it puts those who don't have access to those tools at a dangerous disadvantage.

Yes, there are risks to any sort of paradigm shift, but limiting the accessibility will hurt those who don't have access. If you (being someone who doesn't have the means) are unable to adapt to the changes, then you perish.

Jack D'or got me over 40 text messages. A bit of overkill I'd say.

Encryption isn't just about hiding your documents. It is also about securing your assets and providing identification.

- The passwords on your bitcoin wallet give you the authority to spend your money.

- Your encrypted signature requires your private key so other's know your message came from you.

So, this law gives the government the ability to impersonate you and consume/use your assets in an unrecoverable way.

While the government might not have the authority to impersonate you or spend your money, they do have the authority to acquire the means to do so. And then all it takes is one dishonest person working for the government to use that information maliciously.

I'm a little disappointed to find out that it is £10 a month per plan. The messaging is not clear that I am buying one plan and not just access to the website as a whole.

Why would I want to keep paying £10 a month for the same plan? I'd just pay once, download it and print it out and be gone. Only reason I'd stick around is to see new plans.
