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 and did not look

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 institutions projected that t

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 impaired by the

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 tolerate having somethi

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 outside movie theat

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 outlet&#

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 has been awful.

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, proceeded to str

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 your body i

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 s

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. A fairer represe

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 not aligned with socie

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 number combination

I went to the Intelligence journal's website and could not find the study. My two cents: I think we should look at the methodology of the study before trusting its conclusions. To me, the conclusions don't meet the sniff test. Dra
