I was at the 1993 NeXT Expo and remember seeing JPB. Never quite understood his background at that time. But was intrigued by his connection to Steve Jobs and NeXT.

More than likely you can get your car "coded" which lets you customize little things like that.
Which seems quite strange to me. I assume we would be really happy to find theories equivalent to existing field theories but without the gauge redundancies so that we have a one-to-one mapping between physical states and mathematical states. Why would a part we want to get rid of determine the part we are really interested in?
It was just that: an analogy, and a bad one. In the physical world you don't have Google knocking on the door and taking copies of your photo albums and the contents of your address books, filing cabinets and in return making you look at adverts. You can of course deploy a baseball bat (uBlock etc) for some small, conciliatory, relief at the ads but your data is no longer yours. Its not even the commons, to benefit us all. Your data is simply part of a bloody great marketing machine. Quite an efficient one.

I open a Gdocs page and start writing a project diary. It serves the same purpose as the recording of transactions in accounting: rather than try to skip to a summary of tasks, bugs, or features, first I have to develop a "primary source of truth" about the project as a narrative - what I am developing, why I should prioritize something right now, and the feedback I hope to get from developing it.

As aspects of the project turn into specific tasks and data I can consider making formal artifacts for them, but it's unwise to do it too early in a solo project because of the added overhead and distraction from overall priorities. Structurally, coding on your own is really different from having a team to communicate with and leads or managers to specialize time allocation. You have the freedom to automate everything you are working with, and that's your biggest advantage. Where formality is added, it should be done with the support of a script that takes care of the technical details and keeps your friction down - it is not hard to automate turning TODO or FIXME source comments into a report, for example.
What does the phrase "blood sport" mean here?
Giving up literal blood sports seems so obvious as to not be worth mentioning, but metaphorical ones so vague that there's probably a better way to phrase it.
This illustrates the disconnect of mathematicians trying to do physics. Not only his error model is unrealistic (you essentially need a frequency dependent power spectral density function to represent fluctuations in control which decays according to a power law at high frequencies, sometimes called 1/f noise but the power doesn't have to be 1; also you don't get that kind of strong spatial correlations in real systems, cross-talk among spins more of a realistic problem but it is not what he's doing either), his argument is based on something that is just wrong:

> that the effort required to obtain a low enough error level for any implementation of universal quantum circuits increases exponentially with the number of qubits, and thus, quantum computers are not possible.

That's what dynamical decoupling (DD) or pulse sequences are for: you can get arbitrarily high quality quantum gates (typically, but not always, at the cost of increasing the gate times; removing the most significant first order error typically increases the gate time by less than an order magnitude, think 2x-4x) without increasing the number of physical qubits at all. People don't just rely on surface codes, anyone serious about implementing a quantum computer use surface codes after DD to reduce the infidelity to the threshold required for them. Which is why you don't need hundreds of physical qubits to have a single robust logical qubit.

For those who are not familiar, DD is like one of the oldest tricks in the bag, it's nothing like a new cutting edge type quantum error correction code. In fact, the oldest form of DD, spin echo, precedes any real discussion about quantum computers by a decade.

DD is possible essentially because quantum operations don't commute so errors don't simply add up as they do with classical errors; this makes it possible to obtain a better gate by carefully combining noisy gates such that (significant) errors cancel.
Okay but if your argument is that "people won't sign up for it", you are clearly wrong. Regardless of the financial success of those companies, they are everywhere in just about every major city and even most suburban areas in the US.

Throw a streaming camera in the car, and require a credit card on file, and they can trash the inside of my car all they want, they are just paying for the cleaning or new interior.
You should take that sharpie and draw a diagonal line on the side of the deck, then it's easier to get them back in the right place if you drop them.

Not OP, but this isn’t always true. Might be true for slow brewing depression, but not for biologically triggered mental changes (triggered by some diseases, some drugs, etc). There’s also the chance that it was a gradual uptick that wasn’t noticed until it was too late.
Sorry for your loss OP.
People are already successfully renting out Porsches and Teslas on Turo in my city at over a hundred dollars a day (and with 5 day minimums!).

If you give me $500 you can puke in my car all you want. And I'm relatively well-off and don't need the money, imagine someone struggling to make the payments like most Americans.
I appreciate these and I'm not trying to rain on a parade. But aren't these all completely obvious? The challenge I'm spending my life on is figuring out how to achieve these consistently.

It wasn't an in-house test program. They were leased to the public in California, as GM s way of working within an incentive/mandate system that existed at the time (Toyota’s original RAV4 EV and Honda's EV+ were, as well.)
Another thing I like about Tesla is the abandonment of model years being a thing. It would be great if Tesla keeps refining its vehicles, not changing the external style much for decades, and going for super reliability in the long run. No reason the electric motor and chassis can't last a million miles or more.
No? Apologies if I'm not able to communicate as clearly. The RTT would be to the furthest replica within `n` replicas ordered by proximity to the query origin, where `n` is the number it would take to have a majority within the specified replication factor (so 2 for a replication factor of 3, 3 for 5, etc.). It would be different from the RTT observed with Amazon RDS as long as the furthest replica, as described above, is in a different zone/region/DC as compared to RDS's primary instance (assuming a similar topology). So with a replication factor of 3, if your DCs are in the UK, Australia and the US, if the RDS primary was in the US, all write requests from Australia would have to travel over to the US. But with a replica in each zone, write requests from Australia would hit the DC in Australia, and the DC in UK, avoiding the larger RTT to the US.

To reiterate: I believe the argument is that this a more flexible design point than a single point of entry for all incoming writes, regardless of the origin.
Uber Rush delivery, the App Store, and other similar platforms are different because they're providing the platform, and more importantly, they're often bringing you the customer. It's much more reasonable to pay a fee that's a percentage of revenue in that case. I was responding to the person who suggested that Slack charging for chat was analogous to what Substack is doing.

This article literally proves the FCC's point. I wouldn't want to release it either when a ravenous horde will jump on any scrap to hang him and the FCC.

I don't like their decisions as much of the next person but I'm not submitting a FOIA for what amounts to their correspondence dinner. The fact that the author thinks this issue is superserious is more a reflection on their demeanor than the FCC's.
A lot, most even, of the channels I subscribe to do not even care about YouTube monetization any more. They get most of their operating revenue from outside sources like Patreon, merchandise sales, affiliate linking to e-commerce sites, etc. The general consenus seems to be, in a nutshell: It's just not worth it -- YouTube/Google's algorithmic approach to monetization and what is and what's not "advertiser friendly" (whatever the hell that means, I don't think Google themselves know at this point) is an absolute schooolbus fire. Also how they handle "strikes" is a hot, hot mess. Google can pull the rug out from under you overnight on a whim for quite literally no good reason and there's nothing you can do about it because there's no one to call, e-mail, or talk to unless you're one of the big channels that have millions and millions of subscribers.

I get that the scale of YouTube is far too big to do it by human hands & eyes, but the approach they're taking currently is flat out failing.
So true. News flash, the pot calls the kettle black.
>I don't see how you could do this without rewarding inefficiency and inexperience.

It's easy though. Just pay women more. Uber can take a smaller cut of your pay if you have two x chromosomes.

Another approach would be to allow passengers to chose their driver's gender. More passengers will chose female over male drivers.
Conversely, back in the days if you had any kind of a significant IBM mainframe installation you had an IBM technician if not a team of them on an on-site contract to keep the thing running. The idea of an unattended data center, filled with computers that can run reliably for years untouched, was unthinkable then.
It was a math analysis class 101 (on limits). The professor would print a one-page summary of the class, hand it to us and go through it. After an hour of class we would do exercises for one hour perhaps, and then get back into the sheet he had handed over us.

Tesla was founded in 2003 and they aren't close to mass production yet.
I think you are exactly right, that are really adaptations the we make both learn and make over time in different climates.

I lived in central Africa for four years after growing up in New England. Adjusting to the climate was partly just a matter of time there, but also learning the unwritten rules. For example, if I met a friend on the street, we would not even think of starting to chat in direct sunlight, we would always look for some shade first. I also learned to walk much more slowly and really minimize the heat that my body was generating.

Vice versa, I have now lived in Vermont for twenty years and every year I am amazed how I start looking in my closet for a jacket the first evening that it hits 40 degrees, and yet the same temperature in February means my kids are wearing shorts and t-shirts to school that day and I am grilling steaks in flip-flops.
If I was going to lose $675 million of someone else’s money, I might be tempted to cushion the news by first predicting an even bigger loss, then putting a positive spin when things didn’t turn out as bad as predicted - “clearly things are turning around”. You anchor down and focus on the improvement.

Biggest Leak in history? Bigger than the Windows source code leak?

The hacker community that really wants to discover a security vulnerability has already reverse engineered the code.

Even the article stated as much.

Levin said the code appears to be the real iBoot code because it aligns with code he reverse engineered himself.
The F150 line at Dearborn Truck (the famous River Rouge plant featured in many terrible tales from the beginning of the UAW) produces 650 vehicles a shift on average, 2 shifts per day. The plant manager gets kinda angry when production drops below 600 vehicles in a shift because that starts costing him part of his year end bonus. That's a single plant for a vehicle with an insane amount of variation (body style, engine types, transmission, wheels, interior, etc. etc. etc.). The fact that Tesla can't produce half as many cars a week (on average, bursting doesn't count) as their smaller-by-market-cap competition does for one line on one shift on one day is not good. To respond to a sibling comment -- they have been producing vehicles, but not at scale, not at anything like the scale they claim they'll produce Model 3's. Not. Even. Close.
Yes, they are the theoretically the most elegant way to deal with decoherence. They rely on an exotic state of matter, non-abelian anyons(many still working on verifying their existence), and winding discrete non-abelian anyons into a topological braid, which disperses the quantum state spatially, making it much more resilient against decoherence(obvious simplifications made). This is the specific type of quantum computation that Microsoft is pursuing ala Michael Freedman and co.

Come to San Francisco.

On a semi-regular basis I see people unironically dressed as cowboys, Merlin-style wizards, lumberjacks, semi-mythical shamans with skull-topped staffs, wearing nothing but a speedo and work boots, barefoot flower-power hippies, in kilts, with vest and shoes covered in gold sequins/glitter, in Victorian coats and top hats and monocles, men in dresses and heels, women in tuxedos, old men dressed like teenage goths with purple nails, etc. etc.

Pretty much anything goes.
This is the most soy comment I've ever seen on this site.
FOIA doesn't have an it-looks-bad provision AFAIK. This was a dinner you paid for. Should be public unless there's some other valid reason.
I was expecting a list of explanations. Something that will explain to me the fundamental principles that lead adults to behave the way they do in the real world. Like why they have to look so serious when you make eye contact in a coffee shop... etc.

Instead I was delivered a list of idealistic commandments prescribing behavior that does not really occur that often out in the field. Which is ironically something an adult would do.

What’s the quality of that support like? Chrome and Firefox technically support webm but since it’s software the actual user experience is noticeably worse: CPU fans on, struggling to maintain 30 FPS – exactly why Flash fell out of favor so quickly when an optimized alternative showed up.
You've hit the nail on the head with "button B can only be pushed at night". If we set up society such that it's riskier for one group to access good earning potential, basically the definition of systemic bias.

To be more concrete here, if it's unsafe for women to drive uber at 2am on a Friday night because of the risk of assault, that's systemic bias (and it should be fixed).
Yes, they do handle decoherence better. Here is a video explaining the theory behind the particles that are used to perform topological quantum computation [0]. I emphasize that unlike superconducting, quantum dots, ion traps, photonic e.t.c; topological quantum computers have not been physically realized because non-abelian anyons have not been detected.

Note for users in China: you'll still need Shadowsocks in your stack (e.g. shadowsocks + CN2 + dns crypt/mask + IPv6 tunneling), since WireGuard is vulnerable to "deep packet inspection" and this is not a priority for WireGuard, as the author makes clear here:

I think the point of these sorts of posts isn’t to give you new insights or practical advice, but just to reafirm that these are the right things to focus on.

1998 - made IE4 pop calc.exe using some weird scripting bug that I didn't fully understand. I promptly forgot about it because "lol M$ is crap" and I didn't understand the significance. Maybe back then that wasn't special or significant.
I was also, but now think that I disagree with Reddit's decision. I do not think there's a good argument for it being in the same class of phenomenon as nonconsensual porn.

Here's why:

1. r/deepfake exists, draws novelty, and has appeal in part because it's explicitly identified as fake. It's part of the name. So there's not only any claim to it being real, it's explicitly identified as fake. It's hard to argue how there's any nonconsensual anything when the parties involved in the deepfake porn all agree and understand it's fake.

2. Let's say that someone posts deepfake porn as real porn. Now this is a different issue, one closer to liable. But that's where there's some misattribution of something to the potential victim. The victimization is from the assertion that it is about the individual (as opposed to a deepfake creation, where the opposite is being asserted).

3. Let's say that, out of curiosity, you, in the privacy of your own home, on your own hardware, create deepfake porn involving your spouse (who fully consents and wants you to do so because it's arousing to them) and publicly available imagery. You do not distribute it. By the "nonconsensual porn" logic, though, you have now engaged in something akin to sexual assault, by engaging in nonconsensual photography. But this is absurd, because the public figure has suffered nothing, and nothing was obtained from them without their consent. It's your (and your spouses') creation.

4. Let's take this a step further, and say that a year from now you create software that will create a simulation of a person solely from its knowledge of what humans look like. Let's say that you obtain something that looks like a celebrity. Have you now created nonconsensual photography?

5. Let's say you find a person who is the doppleganger of a celebrity--a dead-ringer lookalike. You film them in porn. (This has been done actually.) Is that nonconsensual porn, because the celebritie's likeness is being used without their consent? The porn actors/actresses consented, though--why is deepfake any different, when there's nothing to consent? Why do you need porn actors/actresses consent to supercede the celebrities whose likeness they resemble?

The logic behind this reddit (and pornhub, etc.) decision is full of holes as far as I'm concerned, and it creates a very dangerous precedent concerning consent. It essentially gives people power over others' likenesses due to their popularity.
People also rent out their homes on AirBnB. Yet we don’t live in a world where most people buy a primary home they can’t afford with the intention that they will just rent it out to offset the mortgage a bit. The closest we get is people getting roommates for an apartment.

'I suspect that any speedup imparted by clever uses of entanglement will be counteracted by the fundamental need for error correction and averaging over several runs.'

Perhaps you don't understand what people mean when they say scalable quantum computing? They mean that it scales with the error correction included. Needing to average over several runs is already factored into the complexity of quantum algorithms.

Also, whether you can make a scalable quantum computer isn't beside the point. It's the entire point Kalai's trying to make. If you can make a scalable quantum computer we already know that there are applications it will outperform a classical computer on performance and cost.
When/where/by whom are those meant to be worn, who receives the signal, and what is the intended effect?
People over whom you have social interaction- neighbors, work peers and so forth- are on better behavior than arbitrary strangers.

This isn't a solid rule by any means, but I think most people with experience in retail know what I'm talking about... if someone thinks they're never going to see you again, they will behave very differently, and never for the better. There is a HUGE difference between your peers, neighbors, and "fellow humans".

OTOH, Airbnb and VRBO make pretty compelling arguments the other direction; I suspect this is at least partly due to security deposits and the reputation systems where owners can leave feedback about renters.
