I’ve been thinking about robots on the farm for a long time myself. I’ve always approached the idea from the view point of cheaply modernizing tractors first so that more farmers would benefit. My idea would be to take a platform that farmers already love: the desiel tractor and start adding more automation. There’s so much already invested in the three point hitch, hydraulics, pto, and other systems that it just makes sense to build on it. There’s several tasks that are perfect to build automation on. A big one where I’m from is hay harvesting it’s a four step process that could take days. Having the ability to get these task done async without involving help would be a boon to farmers.

I see modernizing tractors as a 4 step process.

1: add automation to existing tractors. Mountable kit that would cost less than $10k

2: replace said tractor with electric variant that has the same platform. Target price $30k

3: provide a way to charge based on solar power (most automation worthy farm task need to be done on a sunny day anyways) Target price would probably be in the $20k range.

4: Build smaller more specialized tractor replacements like what’s shown here. Shooting for a sub $20k platform average.

As a New Zealander working in IT (games dev), I would agree with the criticism that NZ cost of living is high and house ownership is expensive (esp. in Auckland) and wages are relatively low. However, the other criticisms I saw reported here about cafes closing at 3pm(!) and Australians being more open-minded are just bizarre. The NZ game dev community is very warm and sharing (actually, the Australian game-devs are too)

I wish I could "lock" a stream while I spin the globe, just to be able to browse and see how dense an area is for signals, before committing or stopping what I was listening to.

History didn't do what I expected it to do AT ALL. I wanted to find a stream I had previously, but lost because I couldn't find the dot due to the previously aforementioned issues.

Okay now that I'm in History anyway, why am I stuck in 1987? Can I change the year... with the plus and minus buttons? Nope! Okay I'm done with History now.

A better way to think about it is that Tor routes streams. Tor has the concept of "pluggable transports" which don't care what form the data takes over the network, as long as a stream can be reconstructed.

For example, Snowflake[1] which is WebRTC based, and meek[2] which chunks the stream into a series of HTTP requests/responses for domain fronting. TCP is still used between nodes.

Your comparison is drastically wrong. GM's profit in 1955 was a similar percentage vs US GDP, as what Apple is today.

US GDP in 1955 was around $400 billion (it didn't reach $3t until the 1980s). GM's profit in 1955 exceeded $1 billion.[1] That produces a ratio very similar to Apple's today. That's despite immense global growth since 1955 giving Apple an enormous global market to play in. Most of GM's profit was derived from the US domestic market. If we went just by Apple's US profit today, their ratio would be slashed to closer to 1/1000.

US GDP in 2018 will be roughly $20.5 trillion. Apple's ratio against that is about 1/360 (their profit will be closer to $57b-$60b for 2018 than $50b).

I feel like the author started in his mind with “Problem: Business Too Big”, and then came up with “Reason Why: Big Business Created Hitler”. Business certainly was a tool used by Hitler, as was religion, the media, the train system, youth groups, and basically all institutions of society that as a totalitarian dictator he was able to control.

Because job prospects are tied to taking the preferred political actions.

It's been stated by James Woods, Tim Allen, and others. If an actor or actress makes right-leaning political statements, their job prospects are diminished. Tim Allen said Hollywood is now like Germany in the 30s

This got me started: https://webglfundamentals.org/

You've probably come across it though, as it does seem to gloss over some basic stuff. But it does cover the basics pretty well, just gotta keep an eye for details and seemingly unimportant one-liners that turn out to be fundamental.

It also takes some googling for deeper explanation of some functions, which often result on Stack Overflow answers by the author himself.

Dealing with the WebGL API itself is a bit... let's say tricky, though. But working with shaders for me is a joy.

This also seems promising, though I only skimmed over it: https://thebookofshaders.com/

Plenty of bright and well-educated people, myself included, like Quillete. One possibility is that we are all suffering from the same intellectual malady, which results in our general success across a wide range of fields, but a critical failure where we cannot distinguish good from bad media.

See my other comments in the thread, the Forbes article quoting a few other cardiologists from other major universities.

Google around about the company and their drug Vascepa. Many people are skeptical about it and IMHO they have a point. Vascepa an extract from fish oil but is... prescription? Why? So they can extract hundreds of dollars from programs like Medicare when your doctor writes you a prescription about it. Vascepa does not seem to be any better than regular over-the-counter fish oil.

Acquisitions are sometimes strategic, i.e. it's not what they are doing, but what they will do. It's now accepted that you can lose to startups, and (like bugs), it's cheaper the earlier you nip the acorn in the bud (to clash metaphors). It can indicate the acquirer's own opinion of their competitive vulnerabilities.
The images are almost certainly in the public domain under current U.S. case law. Releasing them under CC0 is a way of saying, “just in case they aren’t in the public domain, now they effectively are.” I don’t know what you mean by unenforceable—what is there in CC0 to enforce?

Not sure why this got downvoted; I was going to say something similar.

A lot of autistic kids like trains. We tend to like trucks, construction equipment, and machines in general, anything that's orderly and has a lot of information available about it; trains are a quintessential nerd interest (see: model train hobbyists, trainspotters), so there's a whole community out there to tap into.

I would guess that Thomas the Tank Engine intersects trains and children's TV in a particular way that resonates with a lot of kids who began with an interest in either.
They sell to enterprises. They have customers like BMW, Southwest, etc. They get MBAs to learn to use them in school, then when they have to use a product when they get a job at a fortune 500, they go with Qualtrics since they know how to use it. That's how they got a lot of market penetration.

if you want to release images as public domain, you might also wish to release them with a CC0 license since I have heard (but don’t know any specific examples) that there are some situations/legal jurisdictions where use of a public domain asset might be unacceptable, but a clear license mostly equivalent to the public domain is acceptable
I agree with you, mostly.

All the items you cite do align more closely with the right side of the American political spectrum, not the left.

Yet the messaging that comes out of Hollywood is overwhelmingly leftist. You can't watch an awards show without seeing several 'spontaneous' outbursts against Republican politicians, in favor of left-leaning policies, etc.

Why is this? Why do these people look like typical Republicans but speak like rabid Democrats?

My theory (as explained above, and bolstered by testimony from Allen, Woods, etc.) is that money, job prospects, and awards are used as incentives to publicly tow the party line (without regard to the person's actual opinions.) We know these tactics were used to great avail in the Weinstein playbook. It's why none of his victims came forward-- they were mostly starlets that wanted to work.

Of course I'm not certain. Does anybody have a better theory for why those people seem to 'live' right-side, but 'shout out' left-side?

> I'm deeply troubled by the discourse in the U.S., where the Left and the extreme Right use the same phraseology and attitude

It's pretty simple: there is a burgeoning Reactionary Left in the US. For the last few generations 'left' essentially meant 'progressive' so there's some lag in updating people's mental schema and naming it what it is. As a foreigner, I am less worried by its existence (it's not unique with regards to other countries, and it's relatively small) than by the willingness of the more mainstream left to either downplay or appease it... But the US also have a very opportunistic political culture, so they're probably used to foster some narrative (it reminds me of the Republicans in 2009 wondering how they can take advantage of this Tea Party thing. Same thing here, with the Dems trying to find a way to use these identitarians to their benefit -- what could possibly go wrong?).

> 2.1, 1.99, 2.00001

I'm really not satisfied with saying that a machine that gives smaller intervals like that is fully sufficient, on the other hand that's really all we're doing when we specify digits...

> They're roughly the real numbers you'd get from doing actual (classical) physical measurements.

I'd argue that a series of physical measurements don't give you a number so much as a probability distribution, even classically.

> do you think we can have pi

I'm not sure.

The problem I have with denying pi is it doesn't make much more sense than denying 1. Base pi is a perfectly rational numbering system. It's perfectly possible to introduce a special 'pi' symbol (rather like 'i') and define rules of arithmetic so that things work with both rationals and rational multiples of pi. And everything I said just applies to infinitely many other irrationals as well (e.g. 2^(1/n))

> It seems infeasible to mechanically determine that an arbitrary program you are given is a valid pi-digit-calculator though.

Indeed, this is true even if you replace "pi" with "1" though, that's another reason why having a program that calculates the digits isn't sufficient.

> Having a number could be having a finite representation of the number that can be mechanically tested for equality (in time polynomial in the sizes of representations)

Yes.

> In what? You want the nth digit printed by time O(P(n))?

It's a vague definition anyways, polynomial in the sum of everything that is relevant... probably O(P(n + the number represented)).

in Australia, yes a photographic reproduction of a 2D artwork is copyrightable. this was a point of conflict between the wikimedia foundation and a gallery i used to work for, which made a significant income from licensing photos of artworks, many of which were themselves in the public domain. this might seem unreasonable but it’s worth pointing out that producing highest quality photo reproductions of artwork is a specialist skill requiring quite expensive equipment, and there are specific choices that must be made that are on some level subjective. to put it in hacker news language- it’s a lossy operation and the photographer decides what is and is not important to keep- e.g. textural or reflective properties of the paint, vs. vividness of colours. and how exactly are you supposed to reproduce photographically the gold foil on gustav klimt’s work?

A CC0 license or some such could well be a reasonable hedge against such vagueness by making explicit the terms of use.

It works fine for me besides having the right software. The multitasking actually works in my favor; I am more focused on the iPad and organize things differently (less messy) because I know multitasking is bad & buggy (switching between terminal programs and browsers often have buggy side effects, so I make sure I have what I need before I use the terminal and then only use the terminal until I'm done). It is far from perfect, but the Windows updates (how do they get away with it) and low battery life of laptops are worth it for most of my work.
