Given the well-known problems with Tesla's Autopilot and (not even close) Full Self Driving, I wonder how many Tesla accidents occurred as a result of driver inattention. Unfortunately, the study just counted accidents…
Uniqlo HEATTECH T-shirts. I wear these as first layers. They feel good and have a touch of elasticity and never wear out.
Like with anything publicly traded, the price of a share is principally derived from belief. Much of this belief comes from a person projecting where the price will be in the future. With Tesla, many people and…
It's unlikely that the rate of improvement, however you estimate it, will continue at the same rate. This is a Pareto effect, with marginal gains ever more difficult to obtain. And the edge cases FSD can handle will be…
You have several questions, and they range across more than one discipline. I'd be happy to help you narrow down a job title / job description that would help you recruit for your role. Email in profile.
Blackout curtains. I and I imagine, most people, are sensitive to light. Blackout curtains prevent light from reaching your eyes, resulting in your getting more sleep. Eyemasks are also effective, but (1) you have to…
Riffing off of BugsJustFindMe's comment, what kind of privacy/security can you offer at this time? I would love to use a tool like Mozart, but I work with data that contains protected health information (PHI). PHI…
Star Wars (1977). I suspect most people who read HN weren't around when this movie came out, but I was around then. There was tremendous hype -- the excitement that this film generated led to lines of people waiting…
Please spare us from reports of studies with few subjects (n < 50), based on subjective self-report, and with results reported that were unintended by the study's design. It's just p-hacking or random chance and a news…
The step counting seems to work reasonably well. At least, it's internally consistent. The same workout or same route done multiple times results in no more than 5% variation when counting steps. But the sleep tracking…
I've found my Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 to be hilariously incorrect with estimating sleep tracking, and I miss my Fitbits for getting that measurement. Example: on Sunday, I woke up, drove 20 minutes to a trailhead,…
Help with the joke? I understood the mathematician and the physicist, but not the engineer. What stereotype is being invoked?
Perhaps there is a little competition component, but the idea is to stay longer in the ketosis state. If you're doing 18/6, then your body will be in a fasting state for a longer time, and the belief is that the longer…
It feels wholesome and healthy to point to WeWork as a thinly-veiled re-packaging of office space and an illustrative example of what's not a "tech" company. With the collapse of their IPO, people are piling on heaps of…
I will respond only to Q1, taking the perspective of analytics and data science. Answer: PostgreSQL > MySQL Postgres implementation of SQL includes a few useful clauses that are useful for analytics that MySQL does not…

As someone who attended that program, the statistics are rosier than they're reporting. I have examined the employment claims, and know the program pretty well. I believe the 90% claim, historically, is close to valid.…
Is your grandfather Bobby Rydell? Or maybe Fabian or Frankie Avalon? I love this kind of challenge.
Definitely. The main problem is that in the current system no one is being rewarded for good science, but for showing something interesting, bolstered by a declaration of (statistical) significance. The incentives are…
"Don't Talk to the Police" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE This talk was an eye-opener for me and an indictment of the U.S. "justice" system. You can't presume you'll be treated fairly, considered not a…

tl;dr This "finding" of this study: if people take longer to accomplish the same task, they are more accurate in accomplishing the task. Please spare us from more tiny sample studies.
I second this. There's little (...or insufficient) reason to believe some numbers come up more often, so you assume any set of numbers may come up. Then any number combination may come up, so you may as well pick the…
