Maybe the solution is a referendum that would allow forcing elections at any moment


I had the exact same experience with my web app, about 10 years ago.

My conclusion was that productivity forums are more of a support group than a place to find users for new concepts.

I built an app that is 100% flexible to adjust to how you want to work, and I think most people expect such an app to tell them how to work and it has to be simple.


AI is becoming a populist; the next step is a demagogue.


Would lidar detect such debris?


It would depend on how dense the point cloud is, however at 100ft I'm guessing the resolution for something like waymo would be on the order of 10-20cm, which would suggest it wouldn't be able to detect it (at a minimum it wouldn't know its height, and thus it wouldn't know if it's a piece of paper or a steel box). My guess is it also wouldn't know until it's right on top of it


Where did you get 10-20 cm? That sounds wildly off. Commercial lidar would get you to ~3-5 cm at 100 feet easily and Waymo's is said to be better than the commercially available units.


Cameras, like the other lidar-using companies also have, would just like they should here. Teslas problems go beyond a lack of Lidar.


Yes. Everything that is/has a volume gets detected. The problem with the camera thing is that the debris doesn't move, is quite small and is dark. I suspect it overran it because of maybe a fix/patch on this behavior: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaFSD/comments/1kwrc7p/23_my_wit...


This is a concept I tried to sell many years ago, it is not available, but I still use it and believe this is the most flexibility in todo list. Will be happy for feedback

Kinda like a combination of OmniFocus and Hook (Hookmark)


Not sure exactly what you have in mind as a solution for small businesses, but I’ve been working on enabling small businesses to achieve a high level of customization with minimal effort by leveraging Google Sheets and the Google Apps Script environment.

The insights gained from artificial intelligence about neural networks can help explain why facts often fail to change our minds. Repeated exposure to certain messages strengthens the neural connections that support them, embedding these ideas deeply in our memory and influencing our perceptions and beliefs. As a result, when we encounter facts that contradict these established beliefs, the brain is less likely to integrate the new information. Instead, it relies on the well-worn pathways created by repeated messages, making it challenging to replace old beliefs with new facts. This process shows how repetition can entrench ideas, creating mental resistance to changing perspectives even when presented with solid evidence.


The experiment in California is much better. Give a contractor $2500 per homeless person per month for a tent in the park. Data suggest that this increased the number of apartments the contractor owned, as well as the number of homeless people, which will then increase the number of apartments the contractor can buy


I am writing a low-code tool for Google Apps Script and Google Sheets.

Developed in pure JavaScript and can work in both desktop and mobile browsers.

It includes a custom front-end framework that completely eliminates the need for front-end coding.

The tool also includes many features such as a shopping cart, signatures, and fully flexible forms.

Development with this tool does not require a graphical interface, so ChatGPT can handle most of the development.


There are two such projects (both are not active anymore) that I was hoping at the time to get some feedback, good or bad

1. Centask - flexible task manager fully integrated with gmail (I am still using it)

Original post - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21458907

Best video explainer I could came up with - https://youtu.be/RBBPbIkgWUU

2. Postwaves - social media with distributed moderation, I lately realize the algorithm is very similar to tiktok, except that for tiktok video's you vote by how long you watch a video and not by actual vote (much harder to get)

Let the crickets be heard (I know I am bad merketer)
