The fact that violence has happened does not mean that it isn't substantially less than it was. The decrease in rates of violence in modern history is profound, and has been discussed at length, here's a chart:

https://ourworldindata.org/slides/war-and-violence/#/6

Do you see how it goes down since 1950? The fact that the US has been involved in conflicts is not evidence that the US, on balance, creates more violence.

Does that mean the US military has made no mistakes? No, of course not. It's made plenty. But the world is a real place where decisions are made by people, and order is imposed by force. Someone is going to impose it. Surveying the landscape of world powers today, i'll take the US over anyone else, any and every day. And that is the only decision that matters. Talking about civilian deaths de-contextualized from the reality of the alternatives is exactly what I mean by 'naive'.

I recently nuked my email account by accident because their Close Account thingo is just 'enter password' > click button to the right, which is the identical process for . unlocking the 'Password & Security' settings 'enter password' > click button to the right, only the close account option is at the bottom of the page.

Skills without the foundations are going to be useless in a technology shift or economic downturn. Also getting a job is great - how about keeping one, or advancing?

It seems very short sighted; community college only takes 2 years. Your career lifetime is what, 45 years? The ROI is insane, why would you shortchange yourself?
I know it's piss poor security, but I just have the same PIN for my debit and credit cards.

If the law says you can sue a company, then you can sue a company. There is no reason why a company has to be a person for this to occur.

In fact, I'm looking at the federal rules of US civil procedure right now, and they say nothing about 'personhood' being required to take action. They say "A civil action is commenced by filing a complaint with the court" and it has a specific section called "SERVING A CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, OR ASSOCIATION" and it goes on and on about officers, general agents, representing attorneys, and other such appointed persons who will become involved in such a case.

So perhaps you should actually take a look at the law before you accuse others of ignorance.
But that's my point: their results are not that important to me.

As an example, recently I saw a paper on NN weight quantization, which had a very interesting idea, but the results were not impressive. I don't remember if they had any code published or not, but it didn't matter - I wanted to see what kind of results I'd get if I implemented it. Turned out it works really well, much better than what they reported in the paper.

Paywall. Summary?
Have you considered a file system organized as a timeline that _also_ supports tagging?

I find one of the key concepts that's not a first-class concept is _when_ the file was modified. Rather than a file-and-folder physical analogy for the file system UI, I think a timeline-oriented UI could present some advantages for the way that humans actually think and work. Tags would be a helpful orthogonal organization scheme, but I don't think they work as a primary UI for navigation.

This is great work, though! I love the compilation of various other works, the references, and the way you've dug into the details!

KSP's stock career mode does have missions involving retrieving individual pieces of debris. Though it's not framed or incentivized as "removing space junk" in exactly the way you mean.

There's also an anime series about space junk, 'Planetes' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes) -- which does the best job I've seen in any visual media of getting orbital mechanics right, and is generally somewhere between 'The Expanse' and 'Seveneves' on the scale of sci-fi "hardness". And, as far as anime goes, is relatively light enough on "anime bullshit" to be watchable even if you're normally not into that.

This may be disappointing, but it would be the same for all of the planets, even Jupiter. Ignoring the effects on orbital dynamics from the planets changing positions or falling past other planets, they’d just burn up. Jupiter probsbly explode, or be drawn into a rig around the sun that would eventually fall in, and burn up.

All in all, the Sun is just huge and wouldn’t be disturbed by any of it. Its gravity would tear things apart before an impact, just like the moon would be shredded if it came too close to Earth. Any sattelite has what’s called a Roche Limit, and if passes that it breaks apart from tidal stresses. That’s how you get rings around planets, and I guess a star too. Although in most cases you wouldn’t have a ring around a star, just burning fragments falling Sunward.

Better title: “nother reason why my code is slow and I’m logging too much”
First it was like nah it will never happen "we don't even understand how our own consciousness works, or even what it is."

Then it became "we don't even understand how our own consciousness works, or even what it is." So it could be anything. Even a 302 neuron network like the one in the C. elegans worm could be conscious from what we know.

It was more of an instant realization. A realization about how little we actually know.

Yeah, it really needs to become “built-in” though.

I’ve seen some really bizarre compiler errors that tell you very little (i.e. you dared to use curly braces somewhere and somehow from that you must figure out that you need a "#include <initializer_list>").
Don't make it sound like subtracting your own velocity is anything but trivial. Your whole first paragraph is playing semantics about the definition of the word "stationary". If the camera says you have zero relative velocity, that is not it saying "stationary", and you are not ignoring a "stationary" object.

> Combine that with the normal event of a garage wall or building directly in front of you while parking and we have three different "stationary object in front" situations that all have to be handled differently. In all three, the radar and camera are saying "stationary object ahead". But in the left-turn-with-wall situation you need to turn instead of stop. In the following-another-car situation you do nothing, and in the parking situation you need to stop instead of turn.

If the object is stationary, you turn-or-stop. If it's another car, it's really easy to measure that it's not stationary. If your sensors can't figure out the distance or velocity for multiple seconds in a row, your equipment should not be allowed to drive.

> highly complex model with corner cases and potential bugs everywhere

That's all in object detection, though. And none of that noise looks at all like a solid object at a specific location.

> If it was easy we would have had self-driving cars a decade ago.

I disagree. Even if you have a system that competently avoids stationary-object collisions, you're nowhere near a full self-driving car.

And while the overall problem of avoiding collisions has hard parts, none of the hard parts are in the "What do we do about a stationary object?" logic.
>Its strikes me that these people don't know what capitalism is

In my experience Anarchists are some of the most well read community of political activists around. May I suggest that you don't know what capitalism is and should spend some time actually reading some theory? Or perhaps engage in conversation with some anarchists? I think you'd find their views and philosophy much deeper and valid than you've conceded in your post.
Maybe you can provide clarity on ACH risk. Seems like businesses have most of the risk there.. and not the billing system (keeping the gateway out of this).

Secondly, transaction/user based models are also aligned with customer incentives. With growth, customers will execute more transactions on the system.

Frankly, Smart recovery is an area where I can see you can ask for % share. Other features like payment methods etc sound transactional again.

Finally, Stripe has a payment gateway business already. This will ensure growth on that side of the business. Optically this seems like a revenue grab. You have the opportunity to disrupt the ecosystem.

Thanks for responding to my comment. Appreciate the interaction.
I have known two of the guys involved for a while now (Dan and Bran). Both of them strike me as honest people who are legitimately passionate about graphics tech, so I don't think they are running a scam (only mentioning this because of other comments). I myself, having delved into the voxel world, have my own doubts about voxels in general, as a silver bullet for everything, but there are many areas worth pursuing (particularly within medical, which they are). From an aesthetics standpoint alone voxels are great for games (voxel art now has a serious following on Twitter). Anyhow, I've been amazed with Siles' work over the years. I am curious to see what they cook up. :)
An orbit that swirls only around the poles wouldn't be a real orbit, but there are lot of real "nearly vertical" (90 deg inclination) orbits that just barely miss the poles. Taken together these objects give the impression of the swirling 'bald spots' you've noticed.

> Every graduate that doesn't find a high paying job in the field is an excellent candidate for the next level of education.

1. You really think Berkeley's top-ranked PhD program is recruiting people who couldn't find jobs? No. Not only can 100% of successful top-tier PhD applicants find jobs, 100% of them are strong candidates for the top echelon on entry-level jobs.

If you disagree, go look up the people in Berkeley's CS PhD program. Point out a single person you think didn't turn down mid-100s job offers to attend Berkeley.

Getting into one of these top-5-to-10 PhD programs is no small thing...

2. MOOCs aren't PhD programs and in nearly all cases aren't designed to feed into PhD programs.

3. Finally, at least in CS, at least for the moment, educators are in extremely high demand. And again, at least for CS, that demand isn't being manufactured by the academy.

I think it has more to do with capacity growth. Relying in tag+search would be insane if most queries returned hundreds of files,
In most academic fields, work that mathematizes the field is regarded as the best.

Neveu is elegant beyond belief. I keep my copy close. I was aimed at Neveu by a star student of E. Cinlar, long at Princeton and before that at Northwestern -- long editor in chief of Mathematics of Operations Research. Neveu was a student of M. Loeve at Berkeley. So was the current darling of machine learning, L. Breiman, because of his Classification and Regression Trees (CART). Breiman's Probability as published by SIAM is generally easier reading than Neveu.

For stochastic processes, there are several relatively different directions to go.

Martingale theory is gorgeous, astounding, amazing, with one of the most powerful inequalities in math, the astounding, tough to believe, martingale convergence theorem, and likely the shortest proof of the strong law of large numbers.

Then can do Markov processes more generally. The discrete state space version is important and not too difficult -- Cinlar has a nice introductory text.

A high end direction for Markov processes is potential theory. There are claims that that is the math for exotic options on Wall Street, but I doubt that there have ever been any applications.

There is a big role for second order stationary stochastic processes in electronic engineering. I ran into that for processing ocean wave data for the US Navy. Here the fast Fourier transform added a lot of interest.

And there's more.

Generally long Russia, France, and Japan seemed to have emphasized stochastic processes more than the US. But by now I suspect that the US is well caught up.

I'd have a tough time believing that very many people with money to hire know enough about high end stochastic processes, or even just Neveu, to hire in those fields. US national security may be about the only hope, that is, outside of academics.

Yes it appears that some of the quantum field theorists in physics are interested in path integrals.

Uh, I'm disorganized here: There is the field of stochastic optimal control!

As usual for advanced applied math, my suggestion is, outside of academics or US national security, find a valuable application and start a business to make money. That is, don't expect to be hired.

This cites some numbers from the CDC, looks like in America farms are dangerous, can’t imagine what it’s like in China. It says farmers are 2x as likely as police and 5x as likely as firefighters to die on the job. My intuition is formed from knowing that logging is one of the most dangerous jobs in America, I kind of assumed farming wasn’t so far off.

I am interested in other peoples experience with Instacart as a provider. Their model is interesting but in NYC my anecdotal experience with them has been really poor. In this market their are several viable alternatives and I would rank them near at the bottom. I don't intend this as a flame, I really want to know if they run a tighter ship in other markets that don't have some of the challenges that NYC presents. Thanks.
Kessler syndrome
Adding to this, if you use the controls, and slow down the render speed, you will see that the objects are not circling the poles. It's just that there are many objects in high inclination orbits that pass near the poles, but comparatively few that actually pass over the poles.
Can also attest to this, had plenty of head-scratching issues before I realized on my home computer using kaspersky why our app was breaking.
You're not being pedantic - it's an important distinction. That's why I've been putting "stationary" in quotes the whole time. An individual sensor has no concept of a reference frame, only the broader ADAS/autonomous system does. That's why acting on object detection is non-trivial - individual sensors report "object" with no context and it's up to fallible algorithms to make sense of often conflicting information.
Did they really? It's incredible how wasteful some organizations can be in pursuit of a misguided sense of "fairness."
"0 * NaN" makes as much sense as "0 * Blue". It's NaN because you're trying to do something that is fundamentally not multiplication.

Well, to be blunt, if Bernie vs. Clinton is your framework then you a) probably think that my far left politics are unrealistic to the point of insanity and b) have political goals that are well within the liberal mainstream of US politics. That's just a guess, and I'll own that I could be wrong.

Oh dear, you seem to have misunderstood. I criticize his methods because he's both incompetent AND smug about it.

Maybe your system would "work" better for me (and exist for you) if you ever did anything other than virtuous smirking at everyone around you, then imagining a more "verdant" world.

I, for one, don't have religious opinions about politics. I don't even believe that undeniable human rights exist. It's what we all agree upon and what we can build, and the things I'd like to have for me, my community, and my family.

But sure, scarecrowbob, if only we understood how leftist your inner monologue really is. I'm sure we'd all be shocked and awed.
The reason is Stéphane Ducasse is using his students as unpaid testers[0]. I can't see any other reason he'd make us use the latest technologies as you mentioned.

I also don't like the approach "let's write some code that passes tests and maybe works 80% of the time, and then release a few fixes every week for the next few months". Some of my classmates had to wait for 2 weeks just to get a working version of iceberg for the team project. And by working i mean it managed to clone the project, we kept getting "message sent to nil" and "object X does not understand message Y" errors for the rest of the semester and not just from iceberg. Any of those would be trivially caught in a static language.

Yes, there's a recovery feature. I found it slightly buggy too but it worked most of the time (and yes, i used it a few times). Still doesn't help when the whole image gets corrupted and pharo segfaults on startup.

How the Islamic State stayed in power so long
The worst lost potential in the S9 may be GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, etc). 2018 was supposed to be the year of phones with multifrequency GNSS leading to centimeter accuracy (and more to the point for the average user, much better and faster performance in urban canyons, thick forests and other unfavorable environments and times). Broadcomm's BCM4775x series of L1, L5 chips was going to make this happen (but they have remained mum about which phones would use the chip). The problem is that Qualcomm SOCs are unlikely to incorporate their archrival's products, and all the leaks and previews of almost all the flagship phones for the next year indicate Qualcomm Snapdragon SOCs. Huawei uses non-Qualcomm but their just released p20 uses the previous generation, L1-only Broadcom chip. The only BCM4775x phone that anyone has seen and maybe the only potentially sub meter accuracy phone for the forseeable future is the Exynos version of the S9+ which Techinsight's teardown and XDA hackers confirm has the BCM47752. It was not announced or documented by Samsung, and XDAers still don't know if it is picking up the L5 signal, or if it can be accessed. We need a heroic figure(s) to measure and compare GNSS accuracy in recent phones, and hack the Exynos S9+ to use L1 and L5 and get the best accuracy. It may be out of Anandtech's league (they haven't mentioned GNSS for five years).
