I'd second using selenium / webdriver for this. You wouldn't need a great deal of code to get the raw pixel data.

The area I suspect will need thought is how one gives "value" to distinct colours. It's tempting the go by the amount of screen space taken up, but that ignores the way the eye and mind works - a red dash in a sea of another colour needs to respect the presence of the red as it could be critical. But then there are sections where the colours might be low in importance (eg colour of text in legal text from a footer)
I don't visit American ancient ruins because I really don't want to be treated like a terrorist or criminal on entry or exit. If I'm a guest, particularly one who's paying my own way, I want to be treated like that.

I know a lot of people won't like that, and others will say "But security!" That's fine, but it's my choice and that's why I've chosen that.

I remember trying to burn CD-Rs back in the day when 1x burners were still thousands of dollars and there was a club underneath the office doing a sound check at the same time. The vibrations would toast every burn, which was annoying since it took about forty minutes to burn each one.

Shades of trying to do laser holography where everything has to remain perfectly inert for seconds on end.
As others have posted, people don't go to small startups to earn more on average.

They're not looking at the average or median, they're looking at the 99%ile numbers, because they think the startup they picked has an angle or advantage, giving it a shot at a 99%ile exit.

80000hours' audience is clever enough to understand cumulative distribution functions or even just correlated sets of [25%ile, median, 75%ile, 90%ile, 99%ile] numbers.
It's easier to get hired at an early stage startup because there are fewer hoops to jump through. You can then use that startup to build industry connections and get your next job via inside track referral through someone you know at a bigger / more established company.

I can imagine him deliberately writing something wrong before not writing it right (i.e. Qmail).
No it doesn't.

It indicates that idiomatic Rust doesn't like cyclic references and thus you must step outside safe, idiomatic Rust to do that, it really just means that every language has an idiomatic way to do things to stay on that idiomatic road and not every way of doing things fits the idioms - they're still possible but not idiomatic.
Given how the ownership system works, it makes sense

You may say that that indicates a flaw in the ownership system, but it doesn't.
The ownership system can do certain things, but not all of them - it's designed to prevent the majority of common memory safety violations, but if it can't prove everything. That doesn't indicate a design flaw, it indicates a system limitation, same way a GC pause it's not a design flaw, but rather a limitation of a well deigned system.
They're more stable because the rich, while paying more, also receive more. The pension amount is proportional to past professional income, as is that of unemployment benefits. Therefore old age and unemployment social insurances are not that redistributive, so the rich like and support them because they don't see it as "the rich pay for the poor".

If you're cresting a hill or rounding a curve, passing under a bridge, etc., static objects in the visual field are translating in front of the vehicle and are not easy to distinguish from slow moving vehicles.

I imagine that a large part of this is simply a lack of interest on the part of tech folks. Many fields of biology need people with coding backgrounds, but tech people are often completely unaware of this or (in my case, most of the time) have no idea how to get in touch with the people who need them.

I'd love to contribute to this kind of thing, but haven't the foggiest notion of how.

If you've ever had the misfortune to try any of the clones, you'd understand why - they're crap.

There's a level of quality to Lego bricks and how well they stick together. That and the quality of the designs. Those things are missing in the clones I've tried. (Presents to my kids from well-meaning people.)
I also believe that the marginal utility of additional dollars decreases, but I prefer the startup value prop for me. My personal calculation is something like this, where "value" is some personal average of marginal utility:

Big co:
$50k extra from $100k -> $150k = $50k * 1 value / dollar * 100% = 50k value

Startup:
$10M extra from $100k -> $10M = $10M * 0.25 value / dollar = 2.5M value * 5% chance of success = 125k value

There's also the intangible value of having hope for big success.

This is one of the saddest legacies. The amount of empathy for America was shocking, absolutely staggering, after 9/11. There were countries with every reason to hate America, but they too joined in the vigils and were respectful of the loss.

I doubt you'll ever see anything like that again.

That enormous stockpile of goodwill, like the US budget surplus, was uselessly frittered away within years and everyone was back to hating America again.

If there's another attack of this magnitude I think the whole world will be so afraid of what America will do in retaliation that they won't have any strength left for empathy.

> "A Deep Learning system does not have a temporal component" but isnt that what recursive deep learning is for.

Yes, recurrent nets exist, and have since the 80s, before even convolutional nets. The authors seem a bit out of the loop, considering the (more recent) success of RNNs in speech recognition... Arguably this article itself describes a type of RNN.
OK, as I said, that's my opinion but I also appreciate yours :)
"There is nothing libertarian about EPA and OSHA" is not 100% accurate. Care should be used when saying "nothing"

Many (not all, maybe not even most, but definitely a good amount) libertarians are environmentalist and see the EPA as a valuable tool to ensure that people's rights are violated.

However, in general the cause is the same but the approach is different. For example, just of those two causes should be handled by the courts (as a libertarian sees it at least) rather than through regulatory agencies.

To rephrase, Libertarian's generally agree people should be safe at work. They just disagree with the top down approach to solving that issue.
The only reason why I haven't done that, is that the accounts actually have a positive impact on my credit. They're fraudulent, so I am taking action to remove them, but there have been no damages as a result. So, I don't really have a reason to sue other than to save me future hassle.

This sounds like a failure of the Rust documentation.
Reminder that proponents of autopilot systems wage the utilitarian argument that if self driving cars were even slightly better at keeping people alive behind the wheel than human drivers, then it is worthwhile to keep them on the road. Tesla's implementation didn't have these safety features that other manufacturers had in their assisted cruise control systems and people died. A few disgruntled users trumps unneeded deaths caused by a false sense of confidence in Tesla's autopilot.
I've always thought that historically engineers cared more about working on things they had more emotional investment in rather than working on things they had no passion for that makes money as an established business like ad tech or dog dating social networks.

This talks about aggregate earning rather than earning per unit of time. I think the latter is what people are/should be interested in, and from what I understand, startup employees put in a lot more hours.
Why would one have a greater expectation of shortsighted measures from a gerontocracy vs. governments composed of, say, those in middle age? I don't understand why this would be a function of age.
Unless you think that marginal value decreases at quite an exponential rate, an order of magnitude more would probably be noticeably better. That's a huge difference (e.g. the difference between minimum wage and well-to-do, between well-to-do and rich).

Until maybe ~$100M net worth, for me personally, I think an order of magnitude difference would indeed be qualitatively different / better.
It's also unclear why they compare to the C-17 instead of the C-5, which is larger and handles a heavier payload (by about 100,000 lbs). Heck, even a 747 has a higher payload than a C-17. Being the biggest wasn't the C-17s goal.

Might as well tell us how much more payload it has than a Cessna 172

> It seems inevitable in a web of trust that fraud rings would emerge to manufacture identities for those looking to escape debts, criminal convictions, etc by some combination of tricking and bribing people to sign authentications.

Which could possibly be counteracted by attaching a certain amount of liability to a signature? Also, you potentially can detect fraud rings. But, as I said: I am not really proposing anything.

> I'm not sure you should be able to use, say, a poorly written IE extension on your unpatched Windows XP machine.

Yes, you should, absolutely. Not only is it impossible to enforce anything else, but that's just your own responsibility, just as locking your own home or car or whatever is your own responsibility.

> Something federated would be great, where any manufacturer can technically make something compatible, but it has to meet a FIPS standard or something.

Federated? You mean an open standard? Yes, that would be the idea. But none of the FIPS crap, that never works. Certification only prevents improvements, security fixes and the like, and usually only guarantees a minimum level of security that's worse than what would happen without it.

> Keys could be generated onboard, and then you upload your public key or something.

No, keys are generated however the customer wants to generate them. The customer supplies a public key to the bank, and it's the customer's responsibility to keep the private key secure. If they think a smartcard from a specific vendor is the solution they trust, that's fine, more power to them. If someone else trusts more their own software on an airgapped raspberry pi, they should be able to do that.

> We're getting way ahead of ourselves - banks are extremely hesitant to use anything better than secret numbers. I'd rather a shitty 2FA implementation than that.

I don't. The more technically complicated the authentication system is, the harder it is to make people, and especially courts, understand what the failure modes are, and thus, who should be liable when something goes wrong. Lists of random numbers are relatively easy to understand (especially the fact that a bank obviously knows the "secret" numbers and thus cannot really prove that they got it from you).

I'm gonna be straight with y'all, I earn more as a post office mail carrier than I ever did as a programmer for a silicon valley startup with $1 million dollars seed funding. I also surprisingly have more freedom even though I work basically like a slave. Nobody wants to admit it but we are in a tech bubble. Sure, if you are in the right startup things might be different. I had a great valley experience - but it was all a façade, the next recession will really highlight the failures of silicon valley startup culture. Wall Street got pounded last time, and I'm sure I'll get downvoted night and day for saying this here - but I'm sorry guys, you are the new problem. Silicon Valley is the new Wall Street. There, I said it. Ironically I worked in both places before joining the postal service. So I do have perspective. My claims aren't baseless either, your startup that might even be funded at a million dollars like my employer's was is just a tax write-off for your investor when it fails. They are playing slots with your dreams, time, and skill - the only person who truly loses is you.
Yup. As soon as you're white/blacklisting you've lost at AI because you're assuming the rules never change, and if that's the case then why use a learning AI in the first place.

I wonder how many fatalities it'll take before they realise that 'the driver should've been paying attention' isn't a good enough excuse.

Why are Legos popular? Is it because they're like containers?
I don't think that was what was meant, rather it was "exceptional" given the past relationship of the two nations. Also, is the only other option of not mourning to celebrate?
In terms of the SDR stuff, I'm thinking more about it being in the hands of a threat actor. One of the things that Tesla nor Google have had to contend with to date in their trials are intentional disruption and subversion of their systems and I only hope they've hired security engineers to consider more than just IT stack vulnerabilities like those explored by Charlie Miller & Chris Valasek (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OobLb1McxnI). A great number of jobs are at risk from this technology from long haul truck drivers to bus and cab drivers. This will certainly result in tensions which could result in threat actors going after sensing systems. Readily available radar frequency SDR in those conditions really could be used for harm.

If you have a very long history with a bank, however, that might factor into that bank's decision in giving you a credit card. Nothing stops banks from combining credit score data with other sources.

As a personal anecdote, I avoided credit cards until age 31, but had a bank account with Wells Fargo since I was 16. Because I had no history, almost no one wanted to give me a card despite my high provable income. I got my first credit card with capital one (for a hilarious 300 dollar limit).

But two months later after I became a known credit card user I started getting credit card offers in the mail from a variety of sources -- Wells Fargo offered me considerably more credit than the others, presumably because some system of theirs thought I was more trustworthy (long-standing account history? Actual visible income in the bank account?) They even offered me a rewards card even though I only had 1 month of history.
The establish auto manufacturers have a vested interest in keeping the ICE going as long as they can. The long tail of parts, and the whole economic sector of car maintenance, is quite considerable.

I think this causes them to want to make their Eva look weird.

Into your own house/garage. It's fundamentally different to an engine that requires a fuel. I.e. the last-mile delivery is not that different to a centralized one, so you don't need to go to a central location to re-fuel/recharge, you just do it at home.
What ? KSA is hardly US government's enemy, on the contrary. KSA is US biggest ally in the middle east after Israel. KSA is not on the list of terrorist states in US and Saudi princes enjoy a wide access to politicians like the Bush family or the Clinton family which they actively finance. But it is interesting one would ever think it isn't the case.
> My feeling is that Iran is a far better natural ally of the United States than Saudi Arabia.

That's probably true except for Israel. The government of SA is more or less neutral toward Israel, not so the government of Iran.

Interestingly the exact opposite is true of the people of Iran vs SA. I believe the average person in Iran hates Israel less than the average person in SA.
In my travels to Europe post-2001 it became pretty clear to me that the citizens there could separate the American citizen from the American government.

They knew, as they did before 9/11, that the American people were generally peaceful and generous, which was in direct contradiction to the actions of the US Government.
