One of my dreams is to be able to move freely -- take walks! -- while editing text in my head. I'd absolutely spend hours and hours to learn to have a keyboard's functionality with, say, fingertip movements in the air. I don't know how a display would work. Of course the real dream is editing the text directly in the mind, some kind of thought-files, but I've imagined that glasses might be best as they're the least intrusive and possible in my lifetime. But even some kind of physical monitor might work: hold with one hand and write with the other.

Isn't that a pencil and notebook?

Yes, so far that's the best for walks, but I'd love to have a computer's functionality, be able to code, pull up files, copy and paste, etc., while moving, as opposed to stopping to jot something down and then moving again.

Slowly walking is just so great for thinking.

I'd even thought of a walking harness for my laptop, but it's just so absurdly awkward and even dangerous... :)

So what about a smartphone or tablet?

A great new input method might do the trick. I already use Swype on iOS despite the many (often embarrassing) mistakes I make. It's the second-best for walks after a pencil and notepad.

But a wrist sensor that let me type with little finger movements? I'd be so so so into that.
It is nice to see someone else articulate one of my favorite pet observations about personal consciousness. That from your own point of view, you always exist. Whatever does or does not happen 'after death' it seems one is, logically, subjectively eternal.
High temperature semiconductors and high temperature superconductors are quite different things.
Can electrodes recording muscle activity be a better input device than a keyboard and a trackpad? Only if humans have the ability to control individual motor units separately. All of the evidence indicates the opposite: that our nervous system is hard wired to recruit motor units together in an orderly fashion.

You can make an argument that a wristband input device is more portable or has entertainment value. But the idea that this is going to give you more degrees of freedom needs some serious evidence.

>People bander around the "always 20 years away" moniker as if we should put today's estimates on the same grounds as the guesses from those early 1970s projects that were never even properly funded. People were not screaming "20 years more" at the turn of the century.

Well I think people have great reason to be skeptical. I hear "Fusion is around the corner" at least once a year. Usually it is by smaller companies but every once in awhile it is the bigger ones.

So let's look at the big one. In late 2014 LOCKHEED MARTIN announced that their compact fusion device would be demonstrated in a few years and have an operational prototype by 2019 [1]. Even Scott Manley has the top comment on that video as ""high risk" = we don't actually have it working, but there's a chance we could.﻿" Even in the video suggests it wouldn't get onto the grid by 2034 (20 years from their announcement).

So maybe you're right, it isn't 20 years away, only 16. Which serendipitously lines up with the 15 years claimed in the FIRST SENTENCE. Which is then given many asterisks at the end and doubted by the lead scientist.

TLDR: People band around "it is 20 years away" because experts are still saying "it is 20 years away." (including this article)

End note: That being said, I don't want to downplay the improvements. We are SIGNIFICANTLY closer than we were in the 80's/90's. Several of the major problems have been improved upon. And I do think I will see fusion on the grid in my lifetime. More so, I really think it will happen within 20-30 years.

I agree that Gay Shame behaves badly, but it doesn't really change my point. Even the most measured YIMBY spokespeople do a bad job communicating with people who aren't relatively well-off. YIMBY movements won't succeed until we convince poor renters that THEIR lives will also be better in a denser, more affordable city.
I don't know for other areas, but here in bay area Tesla only does service, not collision repairs. I took both my Model S, and my wife's Porsche to the same repair facility, and I can tell you that both were eye wateringly expensive, and so well over my deductible that I really just didn't care.

So, I'm not sure whether to feel bad that the Tesla's claims are higher on average, or take pride that I'm getting more for my dollar from the insurer when I get it fixed?
Gas can be used as a complement to renewable, but at this point you mostly have renewable helping gas power plants saving money instead of the 100% renewable often advertised. Which is what I meant when I said :

> Renewable is OK at producing Energy, which we don't really care about after a certain point.
Is it fair to call APL a functional programming language? Array programming seems to be its own paradigm that inspired and was inspired by what was later called FP but is far from equivalent.
The political overlay is valid - I do see that blockchain can get pretty political. That said, I can't think of any modern political system that couldn't do with improvement.

Even with that remark -- I wasn't thinking particularly politically. There are plenty of markets I think blockchain has a decent swing at.
I'm saying that if redesigned today for our current society (either metric or imperial) sheet metal gauges should probably use something like preferred numbers for widths.

In a hypothetical base twelve world, they could instead use a log scale (think decibels) explicitly, and one nice option is to use binary logarithms, since then twelfths correspond approximately to nice duodecimal fractions. This is the basis of the Western musical scale.
I said that I don't. I definitely mistrust them less than I mistrust any given TV manufacturer, though.

Might be because people here generally work with computers. Not many people work with superconductors, so might be a priming issue.
This statement is so vague as to be meaningless. Many YIMBY groups aren't willing to concede the benefits that exist, instead of making the better argument that the damages outweigh the benefits.

"Certain types of zoning" could mean:

- density regs,which I think are environmentally destructive garbage

- commercial/residential segregation, which I think lead to shitty suburb-type cities that you neeed to drive around

-PDR/residential ratio regs, which I think are reasonable (usually)

- heavy-industrial/residential segregation. I'm personally in favor of those.
>Almonst no one is familiar with how plane autopilots work.

OK...

>And in a plane you don't drive into a barrier or off the road if you don't pay attention for a few seconds like you can do in a car, unless you're flying very close to the ground. A plane can be said to be flying itself if it's just keeping it's course but to drive a car you need to pay more attention to the surroundings.

I think you just proved your first point here.
The lane divider on the right is also quite visible; considering that its internal maps should tell it the road has a left exit, I'd expect that it should be able to guess that it should be holding to the right edge instead of the left edge of the lane.

This does bring up a theory: the lane keeping is biased towards holding itself to the left edge of lanes, on the basis that most exits are right exits and therefore the right edge will tend to diverge a ways before making a new lane. I'm curious how it would handle the split at the mixing bowl in Springfield, VA: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7735345,-77.1816237,3a,19.8y... (functionally a left exit, although signed as if it were a right exit). The solid white line doesn't actually denote any lane exit boundaries there...
You’ve moved the goalposts from “the USPS is losing money” to “the USPS is not making as much money as possible”- and still not actually provided any real numbers or facts.

Wouldn’t a better solution to the problem you claim exists be to try to change the postal rate? Instead, Trump (and, apparently, you) attacks Amazon for being so “tasteless” as to... pay the bill for services rendered.

Trump famously doesn’t pay his bills so maybe he just doesn’t understand how this kind of thing works?

Elsewhere in this thread you argue that the ends justify the means because Amazon needs to be regulated. This ignores the possibility that if Trump is lying about his motivation, then he's also lying about the "ends" he's after: If he's trying to hit Amazon as a way to hurt the Washington Post, then you have to factor that in to your calculations. It's no longer "Amazon is too big", it's "Amazon's too big and the Free Press is too free".
What's up with the hatchet job? Is that normal for IIHS?
The problem is that many countries don't use the comma as thousands separator and rather use it as decimal separator. (And then the dot as thousands separator.)

So, "1,234,567.890" becomes "1.234.567,890".

If all you have is "7.890" or "7,890", you need to know what system the author uses.

What the guy proposes is always using spaces as thousands separators, independent of the system you're in.

So, then it would be written as "1 234 567.890" or as "1 234 567,890".

The spaces are almost universally understood and don't collide with other meanings.

It would still be possible for someone to be confused, if you're at the decimal separator and write your regional separator there, but it would cut out half the confusion.
Injecting your own dependencies makes lots of sense for some use-cases. For example, you'd probably wanna make it such that your network adapter can be swapped out in order to support different transports. By allowing it to get swapped out you also make it easier to test your code, since you can then use a fake network adapter to replicate any kind of scenario you wish to test.

The problem with the cult of DI fanatics is that they can sometimes take it too far. Sometimes code is tightly coupled to the implementation by necessity, and it doesn't add any value to have additional layers of misdirection. Although I'll admit that this is a bit of a strawman, since IoC can be summed up as "give things what they need", which is generally a sensible approach.
I use this sentiment as a sort of a trick to help combat anxiety. There may be a billion universes in which I die this week, but it can’t be this one, because I am subjectively alive and experiencing this one. I can only experience the timeline in which I live. There may be other timelines, but I wouldn’t know about them, because I’m alive in this one.

I don’t experience the timelines where I do/did die, by definition. I can only enjoy the one in which I don’t/didn’t.

Modern aircraft autopilot systems are often used in an L1-L3 way by that scale, but are capable of at least L4.

The flight-management systems of modern commercial aircraft can, for example, receive a flight plan expressed as a set of waypoints and information about the destination airport, and then fly the plane along that route and conduct a fully automated landing at the destination.
For those who are unaware, it is April first today.
Front Porch Going Big on Amazon Echo After Successful Pilot
"Our data shows that Tesla owners have driven this same stretch of highway [thousands of times with no trouble]" reads as a denial, implying the crash was a one-off non-reproducible fluke, which the video certainly disproves.
I'm really skeptical of this theory being pushed in the article, without further data to back it up. Maybe the Model S has a higher claim frequency because its owners would be more nitpicky of their $100k+ car, than a $30k Leaf? Shouldn't there be other data showing that performance of luxury cars also leads to higher frequency claims?

Personally, I see a lot of Tesla's on the road every day, and the people who were used to driving a Prius or minivan, seem to drive their Tesla in pretty much the same manner.
Ethereum and Litecoin among others offer fast and cheap transactions today, and efforts are underway to solve this problem for Bitcoin (e.g. Lightning Network).

There will likely be a trade-off or balance of trust against transaction speed and cost. We're still working out how to build it and so we're not there yet, but my belief holds; the banana governments are not going to disappear anytime soon.
My parents are getting older and I can see a "voice first" initiative making a big difference in their lives. Heck, it's making a pretty big difference in my life and I just use it for weather and turning the TV on/off.

I know very little about learning, but it sounds sorta like multi armed bandit. Put a lot of emphasis on past success, rather than exploring. I would guess a really good tennis player would have a hard time getting good at squash, as opposed to a rank beginner. There is nothing to unlearn for the beginner.
Storage isn't physically doable in practice though, and it's not just a matter of cost at our current consumption level. We just don't have the natural ressources to build enough storage.

To illustrate, storage is already really cheap in practice thanks to Pumped-storage, we just have really sort supply of locations for such plants.
I doubt you have to come up with Djikstra-like algorithms on your own, do you? (The Dijkstra algorithm is kind of groundbreaking and famous.) Applying Dijkstra is actually what we had to do once in one exam at TU Munich. It was the "Sechser Bremse" task though.
With the advent of this video I'm expecting Telsa to disable Autopilot across the entire fleet within another couple of hours.

Anything less would be denial and warrant some head honcho at some regulator with teeth, and probably the FBI, turn up at Musk's house and drag him away.

From your second link, in Tesla's own words:

"The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator, but the vehicle logs show that no action was taken."

What they didn't write is that the car also had an unobstructed view of the crash attenuator.

Stop calling Autopilot. It's adaptive cruise control, so call it that.

One somewhat emergent use case that I've been really interested in lately is the use of social media to coordinate and communicate during emergencies and disasters, which is arguably not really the original intended use of the technology. The really famous/ridiculous one is the Yo app being used to alert people about missile strikes [1]. For a nice case study about this kind of use case, [2] is a good read.

I don't think it's as simple as you make out at all. Compared to just downloading the HTML and checking its contents, this requires executing JavaScript and rendering content in an actual browser which is orders of magnitude slower and more resource intensive.
But it's less about not getting a joke, and more about not realizing the satirical nature of a piece of writing, like posting an Onion article as a serious headline, for example.
Something interesting I saw pointed out on the reddit thread about this is the ttl between 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 is the ttl is way different.

Your pings also have the same thing showing up 128 vs 53. I tried on my laptop and get something simmilar. traceroute to 1.1.1.1 is 1 hop which is wrong. 1.0.0.1 shows a few hops.

`dig google.com @1.1.1.1` doesn't work for me.
Another small observation - the properties you described (asymmetric information, obfuscation, and a necessary purchase) apply to many parts of the healthcare market. I wonder whether it means that this market is dominated by lemons.
All the comments in this thread seem to be implying that AutoPilot causes crashes, thus leading to higher insurance claims. I don't know if that's true, but that's not what this post says.

Correlation does not imply causation. It can be true that Teslas cost more to insure without Tesla being "at fault" for the discrepancy. When they compared electric vehicles with their ICE counterparts, they found that "the seven electric vehicles with exact conventional counterparts had lower claim frequencies and higher claim severities than their comparison vehicles". Electric vehicles had less claims, but when there was a claim they tended to be more severe. I assume this is because if there is damage to the battery pack replacing that part is extremely expensive. So it's not surprising that when Teslas crash they can be expensive to fix given that "crash severity" tends to be higher with electric cars, and that Tesla is a small luxury car maker.

The other thing you have to think about is selection bias. All the groups you're sampling are not equal. Because Tesla's are known for being extremely fast, they might tend to attract people who want to... drive their car fast. To make a scientific comparison you'd want to randomly assign people to a Tesla or Non-Tesla to get a comparable sample population.

The other thing they mention is that "Teslas also are on the road more than comparable large luxury cars. On average, Teslas travel three more miles per day than other large luxury cars, HLDI found." Obviously, if a car drives three times as much as another car it's going to be roughly three times as likely to crash given a consistent probability of collision per mile, right? Since Teslas don't need gas, the more miles you drive the more money you save -- and the more financial sense they make. Therefore it's not surprising that Tesla owners tend to drive their cars much more as the financial incentives would tend to favor people who drive more -- especially with free unlimited supercharging in early Model S and X. Even someone who might not have driven a lot before will be more likely to drive more if the price of doing so is reduced -- that's just the basic law of demand. Plus, if you had a Tesla wouldn't you want to drive it all the time? People are leaving their Bolt in the garage while they drive their Telas three times as much as comparable luxury cars, and yet what we take away from the data is "AutoPilot is causing crashes".

I know this won't make a difference in how the media and public perceive this, and this line of thinking will just be seen as a defense of Tesla, but I don't think that higher claim frequencies for Model S means Tesla has necessarily done anything wrong, just on a purely statistical basis.
How does it feel to be jobless and sitting on a rooftop thinking about life?
I'm not sure "functional programming language" means the same thing to any two people. Just like "object oriented programming", it once labeled what might have been a very precise idea, but has since been bundled and unbundled with any number of other concepts.

Unfortunately the term has become so muddled in the common usage that if at this point, if someone wants to call APL functional, they probably can.

But the reason they're making $200k a year is because they're in SFBA... right out of college I briefly considered an offer to be an "administrative assistant" at Facebook - a job that normally nets you about $40K/year anywhere else. At Facebook it was $90K.

My point is you can't easily land that same tech job somewhere else in the country and keep that inflated salary, too.
For related reading, I recommend this Tim Urban piece, "The Tail End": https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-tail-end.html

I read about five books a year, so even though it feels like I’ll read an endless number of books in the future, I actually have to choose only 300 of all the books out there to read and accept that I’ll sign off for eternity without knowing what goes on in all the rest.

...

I’ve been thinking about my parents, who are in their mid-60s. During my first 18 years, I spent some time with my parents during at least 90% of my days. But since heading off to college and then later moving out of Boston, I’ve probably seen them an average of only five times a year each, for an average of maybe two days each time. 10 days a year.

Being in their mid-60s, let’s continue to be super optimistic and say I’m one of the incredibly lucky people to have both parents alive into my 60s. That would give us about 30 more years of coexistence. If the ten days a year thing holds, that’s 300 days left to hang with mom and dad. Less time than I spent with them in any one of my 18 childhood years.

It turns out that when I graduated from high school, I had already used up 93% of my in-person parent time. I’m now enjoying the last 5% of that time. We’re in the tail end.
Most of those terms relate to APNIC "ad" placement, and it specifies as such. They likely do not apply here, as it seems Cloudflare is not tracking the IP address, and things like browser fingerprinting wouldn't even show up in a DNS request.

The highlight point to me is that they not only say that won't collect data that could be used to identify individuals, but seem to realize even seemingly anonymized data can be traced back to individuals too, hence the further claim.

I'm inclined to give APNIC the benefit of the doubt, they're a nonprofit, and a fundamental part of the Internet's addressing structure, but it'd be nice to get a bit more detail from them on what they :do: collect.
