> I thought the movie was crap.

I'm a fan of the Warcraft lore (though not where WoW took it). I found it pretty awful too. It seemed to lack a story - "stuff" just seemed to happen. It was like a 6-year old telling a story: there was no coherence or continuity. I've liked tons of movies that have done poorly with critics but a common theme across all of them is that they had a storyline.

To put this in perspective, I enjoyed Doom (2005) which is renowned for being one of the worst game movies around.
How many Tesla owners have pilot licenses and understand that subtlety?
You should probably clarify that 1 satoshi = 0.00000001 bitcoins, the current smallest unit. Now people say "we can move the decimal point", but I believe they are stored as 64 bit integers. Which means the smallest unit is not infinitely divisible without moving to say 128 bit integers (which is not much _more_ of a hurdle, but still slightly higher effort than implied by adding more precision).
I keep seeing statements to this effect, and they are incorrect. The comparison is between Tesla cars with and without the AutoPilot feature installed.

The statistic has nothing to do with people not driving a Tesla.

“...airbag deployment crashes in the subject Tesla vehicles before and after Autosteer installation. The data show that the Tesla vehicles crash rate dropped by almost 40 percent after Autosteer installation.”
I offer up a weekly printable office football pool sheet for the NFL season. I've had it running for a few years now, and I find that it ends up doing better each year. It's mostly automated/passive, but I spend about 15 minutes each Monday night updating it for the next week.

I mention this one because it's one of those things that I just did, mainly for my own needs, and put out there. And it mainly just sits there but does better year-over-year.
I've work in the startup world in NYC for years and no one has ever complained that I don't check my emails outside of work hours — I do have Slack installed on my phone, and occasionally answer things outside of work hours, but not habitually, and no one's complained when I don't.
The trick is not so much about compression, but rather about image generation.
The trade off is completely different from usual lossy algorithms. A highly compressed image might still retain high visual quality but with completely different details, textures.

Kinda what would happen if you use a perfect painter with a blurry memory.

> Every time someone someone tries to sell me on this tired idea, I ask them: if you had to teach someone the difference between different bird calls, e.g. that of the robin vs. the sparrow, and you're told that person is a "visual learner", do you mean to tell me you'd opt to show them the oscilloscope representation of the sound wave that each bird makes rather than playing them an actual recording of each call?

(Note: I'm explicitly not taking in this comment any position on whether or not there is anything to this "learning styles" stuff)

That doesn't seem to actually be an argument against learning styles. Learning to recognize bird calls by ear is an inherently aural task. Of course everyone will learn it best by listening to bird calls.

I don't think anyone arguing for different learning styles claims that for any given person there is one style that is best for everything they try to learn regardless of the demands of the task they are trying to learn. I think they are claiming that when a task can be learned in different ways, some people will do better with one way then another.

I really liked your first post and building a platform to enable such things is completely simple. Please don't take the cynical/self-defeating attitude. Promotion is not my strong suit. Be careful with people that want to be the watchers of the watchers without laying out clear principles ahead of time.
I haven’t played Prince of Persia, but that sounds awful. I’d roll my eyes if a movie did something so cheesy.
The same reasons why adaptations of books aren't better than the book, usually. The medium is different, books can go into much more detail and leaves many things up to the readers imagination which is based on their own worldview, perceptions, knowledge, etc.

A movie glances over many details and doesn't leave much to the imagination of the viewer.

Movies and books are both scripted stories. Video games involve choices by the player which can't be done in movie medium. I used to love Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid, which are an exception to that medium being scripted.

Hollywood makes them the same reason why there are WordPress or Salesforce plugins: a proven market of people with interest and willing to spend money.

Autopilots can and do land planes; the first autopilot landing was decades ago! They simply don't as a matter of practice so that pilots can maintain their skills during landing, which is the most crucial and dangerous part of the flight.

Additionally...Autopilot in planes is hands off. The pilots look at the gauges but they're not actively maintaining their grip on the controls.

You are reading into that text more than you should. Autopilot and full self-driving are two separate features. Autopilot can be used today. Full self-driving can be purchased today but won't be activated until some unknown future date. Those features are separate configurable options when purchasing the car that come with their own prices. Tesla makes it clear enough that any owner should know those are two separate features. The text you highlighted is simply promising that any car purchased today can activate full self-driving down the line with no additional hardware costs.
No, the wrong thing the extra precision they were doing before. When I use a 32-bit type, I absolutely do not expect operations to silently use 64-bit precision by default. Especially considering that other CLR implementations (i.e. Microsoft's original one) do not do this. Least Astonishment > unsolicited extra "correctness".
I've played on a MtG team before, good times. It's only for video games now, but I think Magic is something we can/should definitely add.
Yes. Two of the more straightforward ones involve market impact and spreads.

Short term market impact results from supply and demand imbalance. As such, multi unit blocks are either an asset or a liability, depending on how you're positioned. Block venues are largely predicated on natural crosses, which are somewhat rare, given correlation across the street. Some market makers will quote block size for conditional orders, or against individual clients, but due to the limitations posed by double auction (mainly the inability to ensure atomicity between getting a hedge off and the outright), it's not done on a firm, multi dealer basis. Combinatorial auctions allow for multilateral block market making on a firm venue, which solves a ton of agency problems and improves liquidity.

Similarly, spreads on anything except for the most liquid financial products are generally superadditive when viewed from the taker's standpoint, given that you you'll need to either cross spreads or accept legging risk to execute.
So I would have to edit my documentation in this app, export to HTML and rsync the files to a web host on our intranet to share it? I'll stick with Mediawiki.
That's not what the Tesla system says when you turn it on, every time.
Working on fixing this now, thank you.

As I see it it’s a minor bug with horrible consequences. What is shocking is not the bug itself, nor the lack of a quick bugfix, but inability to acknowledge the problem and lack of basic and sincere human empathy.

To quote Tesla statement "We empathize with Mr. Huang's family,(...), but the false impression that Autopilot is unsafe will cause harm to others on the road." and the last sentence is by far the worst "The reason that other families are not on TV is because their loved ones are still alive."

Seriouly the most urgent thing to do for Tesla is maybe to fire the head of PR. How can anybody in his right mind have vetted this last sentence?
Too many characters, too much plot armor, too much name dropping, moves too quickly.

The cutscenes in WC3 worked because they were paced well (Due to gameplay in between them), and each one established a few basic facts about the world, or one of its characters. If you were to sit and watch through all the cutscenes back-to-back, they would not hold up well.

The film sucked for the same reason that Lord of the Rings would have sucked as a two hour movie. It would just be a dumb, disjointed montage of action and scenery.

> The more ways a topic is presented, the better chance a person's brain can relate it to something already known.

Well there’s that, but it also goes further. The more ways a topic is presented, the more context there is for the learner to see how those things relate to each other. Give me both a formula and a graph and I will be able to use them together to better understand the concept. They reinforce each other.
And this is why HR firms exist; the management in this tale navigated the concerns of their employees in a manner befitting a thoughtless bully. None of the negative outcomes needed to happen.
Now you're damning Tesla because of a safety feature: the point of keeping the hands on the wheel is that it's a way of keeping the driver alert.
According to Wikipedia - the XNU kernel for Darwin, the basis of macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS is not a microkernel.

The project at Carnegie Mellon ran from 1985 to 1994, ending with Mach 3.0, which is a true microkernel. Mach was developed as a replacement for the kernel in the BSD version of Unix, so no new operating system would have to be designed around it. Experimental research on Mach appears to have ended, although Mach and its derivatives exist within a number of commercial operating systems. These include all using the XNU operating system kernel which incorporates an earlier, non-microkernel, Mach as a major component. The Mach virtual memory management system was also adopted in 4.4BSD by the BSD developers at CSRG,[2] and appears in modern BSD-derived Unix systems, such as FreeBSD.

I do find $36/yearly for a single licence quite alot for this kind of tool.

This is the kind of product that's so feature rich already, I would not need real new features built in. And storing a few passwords takes no diskspace either.

I'm using the non-cloud version, that sync with Dropbox, but suspect 1password of deliberately having it syncing poorly to push us to the cloud version.
FB had two levels of opt-out - first one for the users not consenting to provide their data to the app (a “cancel” button on the app permissions dialogue) and the second one a global Facebook Platform opt-out when you wanted to prevent your friends from passing on same data.

Equifax had none.
For people who have been in the workforce for a while, substantial legacy pensions from prior employers are still pretty common--even in tech.
Airlines require their pilots to pay attention while flying. The autopilot itself is perfectly fine with the pilots falling asleep, and per another comment, more than half of pilots using autopilot on long flights actually do doze off!

Moreover, autopilot in planes is hands-free. The pilot is monitoring gauges but is not maintaining physical contact with the controls.

The reason that airlines went with hybrid automation is because take-offs and landings are the most dangerous parts of the flight, and if there were any autopilot issues at those times there likely wouldn't be sufficient time for the pilots to take over and recover. Overseas, some airlines allow pilots to let autopilot handle takeoff/landing in good weather.
More evidence IMO that when people think they need template metaprogramming, what they probably really need is basic collections primitives. Go is a good example of this. (Strings, maps, lists, slices are just done once by the language, you don't get to write your own implementation because there's no generics, but in practice nobody cares.)
Fortune 50 companies with enormous legacy systems. Not recommended, but it is a nice "sorry for all the stress" bonus.
How so... It just prevents you from co-opting someone else's GPL software without contributing back. For that matter, I'm a pretty big fan of LGPL for libraries.

Nothing forces anyone from using someone else's GPL software. You aren't prevented from using GPL software either. In fact, it has a price, and that price is you contributing changes and directly interfaced software back into GPL. The price isn't money.

Beyond this, open-source/floss is meant to create a commons in terms of libraries and software that aren't commercially encumbered. Way too many things (particularly drivers) are locked away and stop working.
Excessive reliance on features like autoland was actually the cause of that SFO accident, according to the NTSB.
That brings back memories. The very first computer I used was nearly identical to that. I'm not sure how many hours I spent on zork.

The only non-text program I recall ever using was the kaypro space invaders.
You raise a valid point, but given that GP ended their argument with "correctness > speed" I do not believe that it was the point they were going for.
You need to look at both benefits and downsides.

Tesla autopilot does seem to have net safety benefits though the data is far from conclusive. Honestly, I expect insurance companies probably have the least biased data but even then they may not have the same trade-offs in terms of damage vs fatalities as we would like.
> If you read the novel, you get the impression Heinlein actually supports strong barriers to citizenship and other governmental ideals seen in the movie.

No, I read the novel, and didn't get that impression at all. (Nor did the novel contain strong barriers to citizenship; it simply portrayed a society which retained the [near universal, in the time and society in which it was written] idea that citizenship required a commitment to service, while reversing the [similarly generally accepted] idea that citizenship was mandatory and automatic with birth.)

And especially I don't think the descriptions equate to simple endorsement after reading lots of Heinlein, where to maintain that shallow attitude toward his work I'd have to think that Heinlein rapidly cycled through deep devotion to a wide range of radically contradictory ideologies. He certainly has certain themes and ideas that he liked to remix that had some relation to his actual political views, but, at least in his fiction, he doesn't seem to be given to simple presentation of what he sees as an ideal.

Yup. This resonates with me as well for stocks and properties. Takes a long time to build and quite underwhelming to own. Nothing to brag about as people pretty much roll eyes and move onto talking about sexier ways of making money.

Is it truly passive if it's a business?
Wouldn't this lead to bigger error accumulation? At least, my gut feeling says "less information per delta = larger error accumulation", and on top of that we have more deltas/second
Businesses don't have this type of intentionality in my opinion. They're like forces of nature (with smaller lifespans) primarily acting in the economic realm. Even non-profits must manage input and output economically correctly in order to survive.

True forces of nature are like a graph. Companies are like trees with a root. There is some control in targeting the root but the end result is similar to the graph in that it can't be predicted. Thus good/bad must be taken as is without looking too much into the intentionality.

A focus on intentionality may actually create "bad" because it rewards focus on the packaging over the content. CEOs may just be the main story teller to manage the packaging of the company as an individual (vs PR branch which is faceless/just-a-job)

I've never really thought about "learning styles" in this way. For me, it has more to do with nurture than nature (i.e. culture, upbringing, environment etc) than something inherent. I recall a talk on "systems thinking" and how certain tribes in Africa (? - I don't recall exactly) fared very poorly on certain Western tests that required them to group certain objects together. It turns out that due to their culture they thought of things in terms of their roles in a system, rather than classifications that may seem more fundamental to us. e.g. We might group cooking utensils together, whereas they (and this is just an arbitrary example) would group the utensils, food and seeds together because their taxonomy works on a "higher" (or rather, different) level. From this, it seemed obvious to me that certain learning "styles" are better suited to developing a certain type of thinking.

So from a practical point of view, I don't think that it's a myth at all...

Nowhere do I say there is no problem so I’m not sure why you’re quoting that. I acknowledge there may be a problem since he shouldn’t have been using autopilot on that known problematic strip of road.
