Indeed. For plain-jane passenger vehicles, Toyota is rolling out new engines with a different stroke-to-bore ratio, and a wider angle between the intake and exhaust valves to speed up combustion. With some changes to ancillaries they've increased thermal efficiency from 35% to 40% (41% in hybrid vehicles).

Mazda (of which Toyota has a fair stake) is rolling out their second generation SkyActiv which uses spark controlled compression ignition (SPCCI), in conjunction with a lean supercharger, to switch between spark ignition and compression ignition based on engine load. They've not thrown out a thermal efficiency number, but it's likely in the ballpark of 43-45%. They're targeting 56% thermal efficiency for the third generation of the tech, which is already well into its development, and we'll see sometime after 2021.

The current benchmark is Mercedes' Formula 1 engines, which are 50% thermally efficient, but understandably cost an arm and a leg.

This is excluding other things like Koenigsegg's FreeValve which uses pneumatic-hydraulic-electronic actuators (PHEA) to replace the camshaft. The only licensee so far is the Chinese manufacturer Qoros, which is a shame as Koenigsegg got pretty significant adoption of their FlexFuel tech by GM, Ford and Chrysler in the US (> 17 million vehicles sold).
But compare the length of the lists for e.g. Samsung and LG with those for Huawei or Xiaomi. You're much less likely to find a ROM for a random Chinese device than for the large brand phones that are somewhat common in the US. It might be because Chinese manufacturers are even less concerned about the GPL (I once tried to look for kernel sources for my Huawei device and only found dead links) or maybe Chinese developers are less involved in the LineageOS community, but it's more likely than not that there won't be any LineageOS build available.

Since energy is such an important factor to the life of humans, I'd say the dollar/euro price is a measure that is too narrow. The question is : is fusion necessary ? how many will die if we don't have it ? how many will be born if we have it ? Have we got a future without it ? what will be the quality of life without it ?
This is assuming that the people you're collaborating with know how to use git ...
That's a big assumption to make

> It would be a interesting project to find out the actual kharma-cost of a product though

I'm having trouble finding it and would love if someone else found it, but a couple years ago someone did an academic paper doing just that for the iphone, tallying up all externalities (abuse of workers and the environment for example) involved in manufacturing the product and coming up with a "real" cost of making it. I recall they concluded an iphone would cost $1000 to $2000 if the true costs were included.

I seem to remember the phrase "dark value" but it hasn't been helpful in googling for the paper.
you point out something important. for-pay models don't properly deal with income disparities. you can be sure that for a portion of current 2.2b users $2 a month for access would be a significant chuck of their income.
The war on drugs was already lost because people have been able to make drugs in their basements for years already. I honestly think the best approach here is taxation and regulation - some people want to get high so why not make it safe for them to do. But that's a whole other tangent.

In terms of your original point, I do agree with you. In fact we have already seen this happen; first with computing resources, and again now with 3D printers (the regular kind). As you said, as more tech becomes generally available legislation and morality will need to play catch up - which is worrying because we've not had a good track record with law keeping track with shifts in technology.
> Why would it be exponential? ... Why should money make fusion have Moores-like growth?

I'd say the key to the parent's premise, is they said it'd be exponential for quite a few years (rather than indefinitely). That's likely correct. The early improvements would probably leap substantially in regards to the output possible. We saw the same thing in nuclear reactor tech.

For real-time embedded there are basically 3 options, C, C++ and Rust. And Rust isn't that widely used, so my guess would be on C/C++. You can't have a GC.
It would depend on who's doing the labelling. I think I agree with you in that society doesn't need to label them as handicapped.

However, I was thinking more about people labelling themselves internally, which is what the linked article focuses on. In that case, thinking of one's self as handicapped can be beneficial, which is what the article presents example of.

Since there is a medical professional involved in the diagnosis, they should be able to steer the patient towards the mindset that would be most beneficial for them, given each individual's circumstances. Repeated sessions work towards helping psychiatrists figure out, as you say, "which exact behaviours can be attributed to autism and which to personal development", and they can advise accordingly.

Minor nitpick: you said "psychologists", when "psychiatrists" would be more accurate. The latter are medical professionals who have gone through at least 14 years of study and practice, including a residency at a hospital, and they are the ones who are able to diagnose and prescribe medications. They are doctors, in the full sense of that word. Psychologists are not medical professionals (but that doesn't mean they're not useful).
I've come up with a new favorite example for Lewontin's Fallacy.

The genetic variation between caterpillars and butterflies is much lower than the genetic variation within caterpillars. (In fact, it is zero - caterpillars and butterflies are the same thing, genetically.)

Does that support any of these claims?

- The difference between caterpillars and butterflies does not exist.

- Any difference that does exist must not be driven by genetics.

- Properly socialized butterflies could be trained to behave like caterpillars.

- Caterpillars can potentially do anything butterflies can do at an equal level of performance, and vice versa.
Final mistake. If it exists if has to exist somewhere right? Not necessarily in terms of time and/or space but definitely some sort of location, perhaps even describable truly only by higher mathematics.
If you argue that it has no location or is not possible to describe in any way you have no argument. (Because the purpose of the argument is to describe.)

Fixed the argument for you.
90% of affiliate marketing is not disclosed in YouTube violating FTC guidelines
No. Rather the opposite.
"right now" - Probably not. But with something like fusion for free energy would could just start pulling carbon from the atmosphere, we could start to transmute elements, it would be great for interstellar travel and energy would be the limiting factor of a global AI.
I think that's what is meant, remember Australians drive on the left.
I'm doing my Masters right now and taking a look at the job market / discussions about it. I'm stunned to see people talk about Palantir etc. as if it's just a thing you need to do to get enough money to live comfortably and not the enabling force that is bringing about next-gen warfare with more capacity to kill than all previous technology combined. People go into "defense" because planes flying themselves is cool but that's where their consideration ends. I really wish more people thought about what their efforts enable, directly or otherwise. Like it or not, we are all connected, and there are causal relations between your actions and the harm (or benefit) of others every day. Try to minimize that harm.

In my experience it is much the same as why people in the US intelligence community are perfectly happy with all of the data-gathering revelations in the Snowden files. In short, if you've already gone through the full process to get a Secret or TS clearance (filling out an SF-86 and going through the full-scope background investigation via US OPM) and work somewhere like the NSA, NRO, DTIC, etc, you've given up so much privacy that it has become effectively meaningless to you.
If the mind extends beyond our heads and into the devices we carry around and therefore into the cloud what about privacy?

It seems the distinction still remains between Inga and Otto in other words between the mind in our heads and the mind in our devices because for what’s in our heads we can always choose whether we want to tell others or not but for our devices even if we set our privacy settings we lose control of choice over who to share that information with as soon as we tell the cloud about it
My "business" idea would probably last until the tech stack catches up. At this moment there is no easy way to handle this request for a simple helpdesk clerk without involving some pricier jobs.

Even with the tech, it still requires a human (for now) to read the request, understand it and process it.

Perhaps the future is AI interpreting the request and doing all the operations automatically or providing the client with a panel that can do all of these without having to contact the company.
> Because your existing data can limit the solution space, and it can distract you from finding the best approach. You’ll be stuck in a local optimum where you try to shoehorn every problem into the dataset you have available

Found this to be a very insightful quote, and something I haven't really thought about before.
Once they're totally cleaned up they're no longer superfund sites.

This is like looking at my list of _open_ bug tickets and complaining that not a single one of them is done.

That said, it can be hard to get a lot of these sites all the way to 100% cleaned up, and there's a lot of non-engineering obstacles. There's landowners and neighbors with all kinds of differing incentives, as in a Queens, NY site where they want to dig up and get rid of some radiation but there are businesses who have already been built atop it and would have to be destroyed.
I find that unlikely, but note that other people wanting to mate with you when you aren't interested also illustrates a scarcity of mates. There's nothing special about you in particular.
You are at the right hand side of the curve. Professionals do it that way, yes. Many smaller or less-well-managed organizations have a lot more warts.
Just some food for thought based on some recent experiences.

Sometimes, you'll be taking a job that someone in the team thinks they should have been offered - but didn't for whatever reason (perhaps current management weren't aware... or they simply aren't appropriate skilled...)

These people can also be well respected by others in the team. And winning their respect is therefore particularly important, as they may be the ones to validate you on behalf of others.

You can normally spot them, as they will lean back, fold their arms and keep to themselves (out of frustration). Or act the opposite and be completely outspoken over the top of others.

I would consider that these people do exist, and need to be wooed in a slightly different way. Instead of asking 'what do you want?' perhaps it'd be better to ask 'where do you think the problems are?'.
That only describes the success of the scientific method in building ever more accurate models of the reality.

The age of immutable inf. did not completely free us from occasional hotfixing production issues, because immutable deployment takes time, and if it's downtime you're accountable (as sysadmin/devops/whatever).
Batteries have been around for a long time. A lot of money was (and is) spent, and yet we see slow improvement (incredibly slow on a given technology, advancement usually come from new chemistry, or new physics e.g. lightsail).

Nothing resembling Moore’s law style advancement, despite a lot of money to be made.

It is likely exaggerated but the headlines claimed the big Australian battery returned the investment within a couple of months. There’s a LOT of money to be made on energy storage.

Why would fusion reactors be moorable?
The low beam headlights on that model car give just under 250 feet of visibility. At 38 mph that is a little over 4 seconds. That should be fine.
> It's also kind of farcical to think of women eliminating men

If you actually scratch beneath the surface of TRP you'll see that the concern is not "women eliminating men" but men elminating other men and women being complicit in that.
We could pretty much save the world with fission today, but we don’t because politics. I’m not confident that we’ll actually adopt fusion even when the tech is ready.
True points - though I would think for at least FedEx and UPS carry significant amount of light cargo in some trucks (boxes with empty space around the actual contents, and other lighter contents) compared to other trucking groups which carry almost solid cargo (a truck carrying sugar for example). Pepsi specifically is an interesting one - because I assume that most of the cargo space is liquid, though I wonder how much empty space is in their cargo areas due to round bottles
OK so if privacy is not a real concern can I please have access to all the data in LinkedIn? Because if individual privacy doesn’t matter why should company privacy matter either so can I please have all your data LinkedIn?

If you say no because you want to protect the privacy of your users you’re contradicting yourself and if you say no because you want to protect the privacy of your company information which makes you money you’re contradicting yourself. Either way I think it’s pretty clear that this statement is just a hypocrisy designed to support the business activity of getting people to give over information for free to other people who can make money from that information.
The common refrain, if an absurdly naïve one.

It is a question of degree, as with everything else. Does the massive machine need to sell more totally useless shit for people to be happy and healthy? Or are the things it sells contributing more to the dereliction of today than whatever "social good" the marketers try to impose on the job that necessarily ignores consent and exploits animalian impulses to achieve its goals?

They are.[1] Oskosh offers a system which allows a convoy to consist mostly of unmanned vehicles. The manned vehicle is usually at the rear and armored. The others can be regular Army trucks.
They're self-driving, but supervised by one operator for the whole convoy.

Oskosh had an experimental version in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, and they had something more or less usable by 2010.
DoD never really went for it. That concept may reach deployment in some future form, but this version doesn't seem to be worth fielding.

This is just one of many kinds of redundancy. Please see [1] for several ways in which redundancy is manifested (e.g. triple modular redundancy).

Specifically, uncooperative systems running at the same time was exactly how fault tolerance was achieved on the space shuttle[2]:

>For true redundancy to take place, all computers must listen to all traffic on all buses, even though they might be commanding just a few. That way they know about all the data generated in the current phase. They must also be processing that data at the same time the other computers do. If there is a failure [...], since the Shuttle's other three computers are sending apparently correct commands to their actuators, the failed computer's commands are physically out-voted

That's just one example. There's no need for the definition of the word "redundancy" to be as narrow as you said.

Fusion power will be as 'free' as wind power. Both technologies struggle with high installation cost that has to be distributed over the number of customers and the lifetime of the plant. For fission power, the installation is already too high to compete with wind.
LibreOffice is one of the software I like the least.

I did not have any issues with their router. But that's not what I remember Belkin for:

I was in conversation with their customer service on the phone and it disconnected. Frustrated, cause it meant I had to call them back and there was no guarantee that I would get the same agent again, I gave up calling them. However, in 5 minutes, I got a call back from them - the same agent called me back and did manage to resolve my issue.

This was in India and prior to that, such service was unheard of (and not many still have that even today).

The device did not give me much trouble so I don't completely agree with the above.
Redundancy definitely does not mean running two different conflicting systems. Three (identical) - that's a different story.
HFS+ sparse files - now that’s a contradiction in terms.

Watch the video of the accident. Even though it's dark (llooks to have been manipulated afterwards), you can still judge the actual situations in terms of the position of the lights, and the car and pedestrian - to see that it was obviously the car's fault because it should have seen the pedestrian with the lidar, or if the lidar was deactivated - it should have driven with much lower velocity.
Exactly. It seems that everyone forgets that it is never a problem until unsavory people get into power. At that point it is too late.

Unfortunately too few people building these systems seem to know history well enough to realise the apparatus they are building can also be taken over by entities they are today completely opposed to. We are still exactly the same species that have given birth to the Stasi and other oppressive forces.

It would be good if people built their solutions with this in mind. Build defensively and with your users' privacy in mind from the start.
LinkedIn only serves the employers. Who cares if I'm connected to X or Y ? Me ? no; X,Y ? infinitesimally. But the employer ? He's very interested in the way I connect to others, my reputation, the fact that social pressure implies my curriculum vitae is not "optimized", etc.
