> Eg some obese women are obese because they were abused as children and they unconsciously overeat/eat junk food to make themselves fat and unattractive to potential abusers ...

I‘m not a big fan of these kind of „logic“ explanations. I think the explanation can be a lot more straightforward, like by being treated worthless your whole childhood you‘ve internalised this feeling and now continue to do the same to yourself.

But yes, it‘s really helpful to somehow understand or least get an idea why a person behaves in a certain way.

My questions- how many spiders does it take to make a gallon a day, how would one mechanize and automate the milking process, and how does their milk taste?

Once you get past the squeamishness of it, if it tastes good, is non-toxic, and can become cheese and other dairy products, a large part of our ecological footprint might be reduced. It can't be anywhere near as disruptive to the ecosystem as modern cattle.

Jumping spiders are carnivorous, and eat ants and other spiders. I'd imagine things that we currently can't add to our food chain, like compostable waste, trees, and forest understory, could underpin the diet of the 22nd century.

We could even feed spider milk to cows.

>Graham said he will recommend clients prepare their full cases as they normally would. That means hiring an immigration attorney, collecting the necessary documents

I don't understand, why is this whole heavy bureaucracy necessary? The employer should pledge to pay an above average paycheck and the respective taxes, say 100K for 5 years, and the employee should commit to maintain employment to either his sponsor or any other employer willing to pay him at least say 75% of the original pledge, with a decent job seeking hiatus.

This creates a nice market dinamic where only highly skilled people are brought in, because their skills make them valuable on the labour market guaranteing their future employment, without abusing their circumstances or depressing the wages of lower skilled nationals.

In retrospect, this could never fly because it also affects professions with strong lobbies, like doctors. The lobbies in tech are one-sided to the employers interests, which of course need to sell a "tech labour crisis" before they are allowed to depress the wages of their own laborers. Cue in bureaucrats and bottom feeders.
It's got some flaws, but for say, Ludum Dare, it's super cool to create assets quickly. I have been using OpenSCAD for the purpose of quickly creating models.

Can Dust3d import STL files? Can it export wavefront OBJ? (or, I suppose I could import to blender, then export to OBJ). UV unwrapping is something I have not so far been able to conquer. If Dust3d can import STL or OBJ and make the UV unwrapping easy, I will probably use it.

Edit: I see at 21:50 in this video, it can export OBJs.

There is no tech to evolve.

Bitcoin was made of old, already-existing pieces. All the parts existed by 2001, but it wasn't until 2008 that someone put them together to make a system that could exchange unique tokens without a central authority.

Trouble is, the term "blockchain technology" is a way of fudging the fact that none of the good bits are new. And whether the new bits are good, well, there's a 10-year track record of not a lot so far apart from asset bubbles.
China’s foreign policy is essentially a defensive stance. It wants to protect what it considers it’s rightful sphere of influence. Compare with the US with it’s bases around the world.
There exist PHP projects in good shape as well... and remember JS existed before Node and NPM, and a lot of javascript is still written entirely outside of that ecosystem.

If anything, taking for granted that the JS ecosystem has a higher caliber of developers in it than PHP only serves to make the JS ecosystem look worse in contrast.
Tons of people have already interpreted that it is ready, and some of them have died.

Maybe they are to blame. But for practical reason, I don't care much. I interpret Tesla's communication as highly misleading, for the very simple reasons that it could be written in a waaaaay less misleading way, and also because there is absolutely no consensus in the field that their "hardware" will actually be capable one day to fully self drive.

Plus asking the users to distinguish between hardware and (vapor) software is disingenuous and misleading.

I find this extremely strange. I cannot even come up with a good metaphor to explain to non-technical people how untrustworthy this makes most AV software look to me.

I mean, we all make mistakes, but the kind of bugs that have been found in various AV products are so obviously stupid one can easily get a concussion from face-palming. If I were to roll my own crypto, there are all kinds of subtle mistakes that I could, nay: would, make that I might not even understand if someone explained them to me very patiently. Like, redirecting system calls from a "sandboxed" process, but then executing them as SYSTEM? How can I trust a company that allows such dumb mistakes in their code to build software that is supposed to make a system more secure? It is like finding out that the surgeon who is supposed to operate on you lacks basic knowledge of human anatomy.
What was it and where? If what you're saying is true, then this is noteworthy and I'd love to look more closely at the details.
As someone else alluded to, I think the problem stems more from the fact that major official libraries are glued together using a lot of dependencies that aren’t necessarily trustworthy. This doesn’t happen nearly as much in the other ecosystems (at least none that I have seen). In Android dev, for instance, you often will see the official Google support binaries as dependencies but nothing else. In .NET you’ll often see Newtonsoft’s JSON serializer but very few non-Microsoft third party dependencies.
This is factually incorrect. I suggest you read Pinker's "Enlightenment Now" to understand that the world, even outside of the West, has been getting significantly better in pretty much every metric since WW2, including scale and number of wars. The only difference is that today it is much easier to get exposed to the existence of various conflicts that nobody in the West would've even been aware of in the past.

Great suggestion but it won't work as it lacks data points.

Self reflection is my everyday bread since I have kids, but no one - apart spouse - really tells you about their childhood traumas, his connections with his father or mother (and of course you will never hear the other end of a story) or how their parents were handling them, or have a chance to really see inside their lives. Without this information you cannot get to the reasons or good/bad parental decisions.

But a therapist could have this information. Could have enough data points. Could wirte a book about it.
It would be a mistake not to read it and learn from others mistake and success.
Could. Yes. But many orders of magnitude less likely.

This is why languages have standard libraries. It prevents the dependency hell we have with node.

No that's what companies without AI guidelines do. Violating international norms is when the US, Germany, and Japan would complain when their governments would surveil as much and as invasive as China is doing.

China's surveillance apparatus is NOT the international norm!

Yes. So Sundar Pichai introduced those guidelines, knewing full well that they were dead in the water.

One of the scariest conclusions. Really pause and take it in. How significant is this?

> What grave harm would be caused that doesn't already exist?

This is a weird reasoning for me. It reads to me as similar to: People are going to die anyway, what grave harm would be caused by murdering them by your own hands?
I am really rooting for understandable software. I do not consider a software without appropriate documentation to be free (as in freedom).

Lately I met many companies claiming they make "open source", when their software is in fact hardly usable as is, and you would anyway be required to upgrade to "pro" features or "pro" support to get anything useful done with it.

At this point I consider such piece of code de facto closed source. Disclosing the sources or part of them in itself does not bring much value and does not increase the number of careful eyes auditing the code.

I really wonder why they decided to open-source such product to begin with, is it marketing? Are there other advantages?
I asked him about it directly, in person, in private, in a place not likely to be surveilled, and he denied it then, too.

But there are incentives to maintain it as a separate cover identity, of course. Ultimately I personally don’t give two fucks about who Satoshi is/was but the fact that it has become this central witchhunt and front page news has taught me a tremendous amount about brand building and the power and necessity of identity and narrative in our society and world.

1. it's not practically correct, the experience of using a plane autopilot and tesla's driving assistance is completely different, a plane autopilot will not smash you into a parked truck or a road divider — because they don't exist in the sky, sure, but at the end of the day the important bit is a plane's autopilot is almost certainly going to warn and disengage long before it kills you

2. it's not communicationally correct, most drivers are not pilot, and when you talk about "autopilot" to a layperson they expect an automated driving system (SAE3 or more), and this false impression is exactly why Tesla's marketing named their driving assistance the way they did

3. and it's not really technically correct either, there are autopilots which can do everything between takeoff and taxiing (including landing), tesla's driving assistance can do no such thing

Was “Sir” a translation?

“Master” vs “mister” is annoying because technically there are a lot of rules about the use of one or the other, but these rules differ considerably between countries. Apparently in parts of the US it would be rude to refer to anyone over 12 as “master”, but in other situations I’ve been told it’s perfectly acceptable until early adulthood, or until one becomes a father or marries. I generally hope forms only give me “Mr.” as an option.
> autopilot is the lane guidance of the skies that maintains basic stability not a level 5 system.

FWIW that's not necessarily true either, autopilots run the entire gamut from "maintains trajectory and altitude" to "automated flight from takeoff to landing" (only the taxiing is left to the pilot).
Would it be fair to remove someone's freedom of speech simply because you do not believe them and it is almost always impossible to prove such intent? Show your gaslighting damages to a court (i.e. fraud) and keep your easily abused, authoritarian censorship to yourself.
You're right. An upper bound of $3/session is a better estimate.

Dosing regimens for ketamine to treat depression are still being worked out, especially because that still considered an "off-label" use by the FDA. Using the upper bound of 0.75 mg/kg [0] and a person weighing (again, upper bound) 300 lb, I calculate 100 mg dose/session, which is roughly $3 of ketamine (when procured by a doctor).

The Gradle version in the Ubuntu repos is too old? Just add a PPA from some random guy on the internet. The Gradle wrapper also exists, but you'd need to type "./gradlew" instead, which is apparently enough reason to use the PPA instead.

I've seen a qualified dietitian working for the NHS - she hadn't a clue about what kind of diet someone with blood sugar problems should eat.

Understandability is definitely a nice thing to have, though I believe it's ultimately limited by essential complexity of the problem domain. Also, it's not a solution here, because a malicious actor can make the code very easy to understand in a way in which you gloss over it and not notice subtle bits here and there that add up to an attack.

Still, this is not the main problem highlighted by this (yet another) NPM fiasco. I believe there are two and only two core problems that caused this issue, and that will enable future incidents like this:

Problem 1: some scoundrel violated the commons. The commons have no effective means of tracking them down and punishing them, so that a) they'll deeply regret what they've done, and b) other scoundrels will be deterred from trying. Lack of means of effective policing means various open source communities will keep having such problems.

Problem 2: people don't check their dependencies. Yes, I can already hear all startups screaming, "we can't afford it". Well, sucks to be you, but you'd better hustle and find a way. The licenses of almost all the software you use disclaim any responsibility for anything whatsoever, so if you expose users to that software and that software harms the users, it's your fault. You mishandled them. So find a way to vet your software, or buy some insurance against yet another NPM compromise. Or don't, and accept you're taking a risk.

To be clear, I'm not advocating a general "caveat emptor" attitude to software. We've build a civilization in part on systems and regulations that allow us to not vet everything we interact with, and yet be quite confident in our safety. But FOSS is not there yet (Problem 1). It's built on trust, but most communities have little means of protecting that trust. As for companies, I have little sympathy (Problem 2), like I wouldn't have much for any other company in any other industry that said they can't afford to do their basic job right.
But this is property, not knowledge...
Isn’t that because planes are a lot harder to operate than automobiles (or at least our tolerance for accidents is much lower with planes)? The required training to operate Tesla’s autopilot is nothing more than a normal car driver plus following the very simple and constant instructions the car gives (basically just to keep your hands on the wheel, which the car supposedly enforces).
