In the sun, at 50mph? 50mph sets the minimum range of the scan (related to the "full stop" distance and fully loaded maneuverability), which sets the acquisition rate and angular resolution requirement to see a thin cable at that distance. I suppose maneuverability would also set the FOV requirement.

Are there any commercial drones that do it "right", with LIDAR?

Perhaps they will be the early adopters who benefit economically from all of this. But I think there is something really broken when all of childhood and education is outsourced away from the home and parents go either outsiders or technology. What happened to living like humans? What’s the point of working when you outsource the things you’re supposed to be participating in?

> "Oh, could I? Well, your entire face is bad."

This gave me quite a chuckle. Reads like a comeback from GPT-2 =P

A proper comeback in this scenario perverts the characteristic into a positive trait, with some added denigration.

"That's what lets me keep a wide berth from your mom, I can smell her a mile away".

Well maybe I can get that company to backup my LinkedIn posts because it is utterly broken to download anything about my profile to make a backup.

There is an API option but endpoints from documentation just return 404. There is Data Privacy "download my data" I wanted really data like my posts, photos not crappy CSV having basic properties. In the end there is "View the rich media" but also I have to click one by one and there is no text for posts on the images - I can do that going one by one of my posts and copy pasting. It sucks despite "your data belongs to you" texts on the labels.

No, I did stats as part of economics around then, and it's nothing like modern DS. It overlaps a fair bit, but in practice the classical stats student is bringing a knife to a gunfight.

The practice of working with huge datasets manipulated by computers is valuable enough that you need separate training in it.

I don't know what's in a modern stats degree though, I would assume they try to turn it into DS.

I think they mean backwards-compatible syntax-wise, rather than actually allowing this feature to be used on existing code. If I’m understanding correctly they would prefer for the Python grammar to stay the same (hence the comment about updating parsers and IDEs).

But I don’t think I really agree, the extensible annotation syntaxes they mention always feel clunky and awkward to me. For a first-party language feature (especially used as often as this will be), I think dedicated syntax seems right.

A force with significant capability to surveil US citizens.

> Together, these teams would operate as intelligence arms of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division. They will receive tips and incoming cases, research individuals online, and package the results into dossiers that could be used by field offices to plan arrests. [...] The scope of information contractors are expected to collect is broad. Draft instructions specify open-source intelligence: public posts, photos, and messages on platforms from Facebook to Reddit to TikTok. [...]

> They would also be armed with powerful commercial databases such as LexisNexis Accurint and Thomson Reuters CLEAR, which knit together property records, phone bills, utilities, vehicle registrations, and other personal details into searchable files.

As a reminder, even Apple didn't hit 1T market cap until late 2018. We didn't get a second in the 4 comma club until mid 2019 with MSFT. Google and Facebook in 2021.

And now we have 4 companies above 3T and 11 in the 4 comma club. Back when the iPhone was released oil companies were at the top and they were barely hitting 500B.

So yeah, I don't think anyone has really been displaced. Nvidia at up, Broadcom at 7, and TSMC at 9 indicate that displacement might occur, but that's also not the displacement people are talking about.

I'm not sure I know anyone who would choose to decorate their home this way; I think that level of opulence is very much "of its time". Currently minimalism and "quiet luxury" are more in vogue.

But IMO it is still possible to admire it as a passer-by. If nothing else it is a fascinating piece of history.

I think this is pretty evident, observing your emotions when someone, a sibling loads up too much in a shared meal. If you ever tried fasting, you realize how much time we spend daily on food intake.

But let's not trivialize the issue. Most certainly, no-one here can even begin to understand starvation from experience. For starters, you would be in a total different state of mind, potentially delusional, disassociated, depressed, abulic, manic, have an altered perception of reality. During the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, participants mutilated themselves, one guy cut off three of his fingers with an axe and didn't remember why... in the rehab phase! Starvation is an holistic horror.

> experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking

Some quantification is needed here to make this list have any meaning. Rape stands alone, but physical violence and stalking can mean a lot in terms of damage and threat level. A single slap falls under the same general category of physical violence as a full-on fist beating. Stalking can be showing up the gym at their scheduled time, or it can be camping outside of their house.

Deployments are easy. You define a bunch of yamls for what things are running, who mounts what, and what secrets they have access to etc.

If you need to deploy it elsewhere, you just install k3s/k8s or whatever and apply the yamls (except for stateful things like db).

IT also handles name resolution with service names, restarts etc.

IT's amazing.

Ugh...I like the idea, but I wish lazy imports were the default. Python allows side effects in the top level though so that would be a breaking change.

Soooo instead now we're going to be in a situation where you're going to be writing "lazy import ..." 99% of the time: unless you're a barbarian, you basically never have side effects at the top level.

This is just partisan conspirational nonsense. Modern Economics took the useful things from Marx and left the rest in the dustbin of history like it should. Nor do Economists advocate for "trickle-down" theory, the answer has more to do with where one is on the laffer curve.

Economists clash frequently with other fields like social sciences because such fields continue to use unfalsifiable and highly flawed epistemic tools like dialectics to advocate for debunked theories like World Systems Theory.

This seems to be the default defense - Is there no fraud/fat/waste etc in this thing which is being harmed?

It sounds like people don't understand bureaucracy is always imperfect. If it was perfect then you don't need to create another agency called DOGE while having Congressional Budget Office and do exactly the same things.

The question should be is there fraud/fat/waste which has a meaningful impact? If not then it changing it wouldn't really matter. The unfortunate thing is that anecdotal evidence rules supreme and there are enemies every where.

I'm not in the market myself; a number of friends buy them on eBay, but I don't know how to differentiate between good and bunk. I would assume that if they're selling 50 of them, though, that it's a good guess.

Still, I think it's always something of a gamble. Maybe look for reputable dealers on there.

Oh weird, I never had a problem like that with my drawing tablet, but then again I dumped Nvidia in 2011 when I switched to archlinux fulltime and had to fix my install twice because of the drivers not being compatible with the latest kernel.

What I still miss is stuff like browser docks in OBS and such things that just work in X but are being dragged on for multiple years to be supported on Wayland now (CEF thing though)

Sure but they're not selling ads because the lack of ads is the unique selling point of the consumer product. It's a loss leader to build the brand for the b2b / gov stuff.

If they junk up the consumer experience too much users can just switch to Google who, obviously is the behemoth in the ad space.

Obviously there's money to be made there but they have no moat - I feel like despite the first mover advantage their position is tenuous and ads risk disrupting that edge with consumers.

Interesting points! Maybe a better term is LLMs (BTW smart phones are not smart and people don’t seem to be confused). I agree with being dependent and sending so much data to those servers. I would mention there is a version of ChatGPT you can run locally[1].

If I understand correctly, the cost of training each next model is the biggest cost - and much of why so much capex has been required. I have also seen it stated that e.g. OpenAI could be profitable right now if they stopped spending on the next model (not sure I'm convinced of that though).

Given that a half (or 80% or whatever) trained model is worthless, there is a threshold for each new model cycle to continue. As soon as the anticipated ROI fails to justify that cost, new model production stops. Dead.

Old models will still be used, but will become more and more out of date, and less and less useful. This will be the end of AI.

Yeah they are all over the place and this should be a huge red flag.

Some marginal investors know this but they are okay because the music is still playing - but when they think its time to leave the bubble will pop.

People seem to forget that its not about whether or not its actually a bubble, its really about when will certain people who set these stock prices for valuations, decide its time to exit and take their profit.

The need for think tanks is gone, there's no need to convince the public of anything anymore, you can just do it. Trump is wildly unpopular, and he's the most popular leader in the west. Still, the most authoritarian and neoliberal trash can simply be rammed through by these "centrist" melts with 15% approval ratings.

The way they used to keep them in power is by running a Nazi against them and making you choose, now people (rightfully) prefer the Nazis because at least they believe in something. So now they lawfare the Nazis so they can run unopposed (or NPC-opposed), or blackmail and bribe them into becoming centrists themselves. If we can put Al Qaeda in a suit and lap at his feet, we can certainly make Meloni into a Euro-warrior.

No need to convince anyone of anything, no need to have the support of a majority of the public, no restraints on infinite accumulation... what do you need some crypto-freshwater "why homelessness is actually the most accurate sign of prosperity" freak any more? Can't they just call Cass Sunstein? Did the numbers ever really matter? These guys specialized in telling you why the numbers were deceptive, and the real problem was any restraint on predators.

Academic economics is newly-pointless marketing of ideas popular (i.e. profitable) among elites (i.e. their bosses.) They are entirely unconcerned about the wealth of nations (nationalism!) or the wealth of citizens (communism!). When comfortable monopolies dominate, and the process of democracy is devalued ("dumb people shouldn't vote, we should follow the consensus!"), the market for marketing goes down.

It's funny how he pretends he thinks lying about inflation was decisive, as if the people affected by inflation get to hire economists, or wouldn't be more interested in becoming an economist to prove a bunch of liars wrong. Lying about inflation, or whatever else, is the job. The real message: "If you're a Democrat considering your rebrand, hire me as an advisor. I'll be your Ezra Klein, but with math!"

More from:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/the-credit-market-is...

"The overarching concern on Wall Street is that the exceptionally high valuations for corporate debt are concealing excesses in the market and insufficiently compensating investors for taking risks."

If you look at the reaction to the markets the last two days, it makes no sense, adn this is why. It is just investor insanity out there right now. Gold as well keep breaking record highs at the same time the stock market does. Again, makes no sense, unless you think the market is in a huge bubble.

I will bet there is a dump in bitcoin coming.

Consciousness, in Zoltan Torey's[1] model, is the brain's layered, language-enabled off-line mechanism that reflects on its own sensory endogram, generating self-aware, internally guided behavior.[2] The off-line mechanism generates mental alternatives, which are then "run past the brainstem, which then makes the selection." Nice little accessible book.[3]

> Taking “computer” first, we find that this alleged source of machine-generated consciousness is not what it is cracked up to be. It is a mere effigy, an entity in name only. It is no more than a cleverly crafted artifact, one essentially indistinguishable from the raw material out of which it is manufactured.[2]

The systemic risk:

"Fitch, a credit-rating firm, notes that the consequences of a potential slump have not just grown—they are also no longer constrained to giant investment outfits. Private-credit firms have marketed themselves to smaller investors, including retirement accounts. At the same time, banks and insurers have lent more to them."

Their API product is easy to swith away from but their consumer product (which is by far the biggest part of their revenue) has much better market share and brand recognition than others. I've never heard anyone outside of tech use Gemini or Copilot or X AI outside of work while they all know ChatGPT.

Anecdata but even in work environments I hear mostly complaints about having to use Copilot due to policy and preferring ChatGPT. Which still means Copilot is in a better place than Gemini, because as far as I can tell absolutely nobody even talks about that or uses it.

Sometimes when people speak rhetorically I'm baffled because I feel they literally do not understand what they're saying because they end up supporting an opposing rhetorical purpose. Yes you're 100% correct well-structured commits are a luxury that most of us do not have the privilege of experiencing because we work in high-pressure, deadlines driven environments where no points are awarded for beautifully crafted commit messages.

So in effect your argument is like "people that haven't had the luxury of a Michelin star restaurant don't appreciate amuse bouche and they should strive to rectify that".

It is my belief, in the American macro of policy, it is simply rational and prudent for women to avoid marriage and children whenever possible (as a practitioner in risk management, assessing and managing risk, and a rationalist) so long as the policy is what it is. My opinion would change if the policy, macro, and experience changes and failure modes are less brutal (there’s ~$100B in child support debt outstanding, single parent outcomes are suboptimal, 23 million children live in a single parent home, etc). But as it stands, you’re setting yourself up for failure by entertaining marriage (considering 40-50% failure rates for first marriages) and children (two incomes required, $330k to raise a child 0-18 in 2023 dollars excluding daycare and college). The median household income in Kentucky as of this comment is ~$62k/year. Half of all violent crime in Kentucky over the last six years was domestic violence of both men and women. Returning to the labor force as a stay at home parent (if divorce occurs), regardless of gender, is challenging at best. Might as well skydive without a parachute and hope you’re lucky enough to fall into a tree.

People change as well. Who you marry is potentially not who you want or need a divorce from. Sometimes the economic unpleasantness can be avoided with prenups, but this is much more rare than it should be. Choices can lead to substantial long term obligations and liability, binding for one to two decades, and I think better choices can be made (based on the evidence and the data).

My opinions in this thread are not gender driven, but data driven.

(~40% of pregnancies in the US are unintended every year as well, per the Guttmacher Institute, although I don’t have Kentucky specific numbers at hand in that context)

> I think it's fair to assume things like these are location dependent.

Well, it certainly puts the notion on the table.

Let's run with that. Let's say that qualified folks have evidenced this phenomenon; we've learned there are regions in the US where playground dads are routinely considered to be dangerous to their own kids (and presumably kids in general).

And it's not universal. This indicates there's some strong social effect that can be tightly limited to a region - be widespread and pervasive in one region and fully absent in another.

What sort of effect could mass-mold minds across an entire region yet still be so geographically limited?

Well it does look beautiful but I don't think I can go back to anything that's un-paged neither, after 17 years of dwm. Also, just watched a bit of an XMonad demo which reminded me how much I love the simplicity of dwm's tiling workflow based on having a master window per page (dwm's tag) because it completely removed the burden of window management for me with barely any configuration, I wonder how I'd do without it ... Probably going to try XMonad just to feel the difference, maybe I'll like it.

> it would in fact be appropriate to match the costs of the model training with the lifetime of its revenue

You're right. But this also doesn't mean singron is wrong.

Think about their example. If the deprication is long lived then you are still paying those costs. You can't just ignore them.

The problem with your original comment is that it is too simple of a model. You also read singron's comment as a competing model instead of "your model needs to account for X".

You're right that it provides clues that the business might be more profitable in the future than current naïve analysis would suggest but you also need to be careful in how you generalize your additional information

Thank you for sharing this post!

Do you have any concerns that you're only doing push movements? My physiotherapist told me that it's quite easy to build imbalanced muscles by excessively doing only push ups, without incorporating "pull" movements in my exercises too. It seems like you would've come across this in your research but don't think it's an issue seeing as you seem very healthy and happy with your current shape?

> The standard library provides the LazyLoader class to solve some of these inefficiency problems. It permits imports at the module level to work mostly like inline imports do.

The use of these sorts of Python import internals is highly non-obvious. The Stack Overflow Q&A I found about it (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42703908/) doesn't result in an especially nice-looking UX.

So here's a proof of concept in existing Python for getting all imports to be lazy automatically, with no special syntax for the caller:

import sys import threading # needed for python 3.13, at least at the REPL, because reasons from importlib.util import LazyLoader # this has to be eagerly imported! class LazyPathFinder(sys.meta_path[-1]): # <class '_frozen_importlib_external.PathFinder'> @classmethod def find_spec(cls, fullname, path=None, target=None): base = super().find_spec(fullname, path, target) base.loader = LazyLoader(base.loader) return base sys.meta_path[-1] = LazyPathFinder

We've replaced the "meta path finder" (which implements the logic "when the module isn't in sys.modules, look on sys.path for source code and/or bytecode, including bytecode in __pycache__ subfolders, and create a 'spec' for it") with our own wrapper. The "loader" attached to the resulting spec is replaced with an importlib.util.LazyLoader instance, which wraps the base PathFinder's provided loader. When an import statement actually imports the module, the name will actually get bound to a <class 'importlib.util._LazyModule'> instance, rather than an ordinary module. Attempting to access any attribute of this instance will trigger the normal module loading procedure — which even replaces the global name.

Now we can do:

import this # nothing shows up print(type(this)) # <class 'importlib.util._LazyModule'> rot13 = this.s # the module is loaded, printing the Zen print(type(this)) # <class 'module'>

That said, I don't know what the PEP means by "mostly" here.

The latter. Checking for identity won't matter to ICE. They already break into apartment buildings without warrants and arrest children and US citizens.
