What is a system?

"sys·tem
noun
1.a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network.

"the state railroad system"

2. a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized scheme or method."

This is the mildy condensed version from wikipedia regarding the definition of system. I know that we classify a lot of things in the world as systems, for example: ecosystems.

It seems to me you are considering that maybe the world doesn't operate from a higher point of view as a "system", or that system is not the correct terminology? I think our definition of system might cover for what the world as we know very well. All the little parts of the world have a purpose. The ants, when they come out of the eggs have an internal rule set it seems. They know what it is they "do". They go right to it and that is all that they do the rest of their existance. Building their nests, protecting their nests, the queen and her role. I suppose the same can be said about most of nature. Its a lot to think about, as the diversity of it is amazing, but it is also fun to observe and ponder.

"Lazy reader" is precisely the audience for scientific papers.

That's the gist of the crisis science has been having of late: The popular meme for a long time was that it was just non-scientists who would misinterpret the research. Recently, it has become clear that misinterpreting papers also rampant among trained scientists, to the extent that entire fields are being shown to be houses of cards.
>> Atheism: The belief that there is no god.

> Have you tried checking other dictionaries? Websters has a more accurate definition:

> Atheist: a person who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods

Allowing for the differences in word-form (ideology vs. adherent), those definitions are semantically identical. They just attach the negation to different parts of the sentence for the same effect (the noun in the first case, the verb in the second).
How do you address the market of 30-something hobbyist with kids and jobs etc who might have short spurs of creativity followed by very long inactive periods. They might want to pay to use all the features and become good with the tool for sporadic use but might be turned off to the idea of paying for months of the account being dormant.

Wow. I'm old enough to know that when someone tries to attack you personally, it's because of something deeper in their life and not about the subject matter anymore.

Sounds like you're really upset that someone wouldn't agree with you on this topic. If you're open to staying on the subject matter, are you OK with any limit? A $50k payback? A $100k payback?

A long time ago the US decided to put a maximum rate on loans. I guess I don't understand if you think maximum interest rates are Marxist or something else, because I'm only talking about the interest rate part of this equation.

You mean, similar to what FAA might do if it didn't allow manufucturer self-certification instead, right?

Also, wouldn't NHSTA, which does safety regulation and standards for autos, not NTSB, that does accident investigation, be the natural agency?
Not sure I would put python out Javascript as Languages that have solved dependency management. Even Java has shortcomings in this department. Which is why I'm baffled by your comment.
It's not usually a big difference, but on modern Intel there is a some difference in performance between the different CMP/JCC options. The more common ones will "fuse" with the CMP and be executed as a single µop, but the rarer ones (like JO and JS) do not fuse with CMP, and thus can add a cycle of delay (and have the overhead associated with executing another µop). The optimization is called "macro op fusion". Details here https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/macro-operation_fusion and here https://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf (pages 108 and 125).

Shure, and many other good companies, make earphones with removable cables. These MMCX cables can be bought relatively cheaply (decent ones on Amazon france seem to be about EUR 15 onwards).

Wouldn't breaking up Google into companies with complete control over their respective markets not really achieve the desired goal?

E.g. If Android becomes it's own company, it's still the only player in the mobile operating system space. If search was it's own company, it's still the dominant search engine.

Admittedly, I wasn't around at the time, but what use was breaking up Ma-bell into the sub companies, from a choice perspective? I certainly understand that from a telephony devices perspective, consumer choice drastically increased, since third parties could now make telephones, but you still ended up with local monopolies for all of the fractured components.

Also, how is search's integration into other products harmful in all circumstances? It's extremely convenient that typing the name of a restaurant into Google search gives me reviews, the menu, directions, etc.

Sure, if you react fast enough.

Let's not lose the plot here. The original claim was:

"The AP can only kill you if you're distracted/asleep at the wheel and not paying attention."

(Emphasis added.)

And that's not true. It can kill you, quite simply, by producing the wrong control input in a situation where the available recovery time is less than your reaction time.

If you doubt this, then I challenge you to drive a car where the autopilot is under my control. (It will have to be remote control because no fucking way am I willing to be in the car with you when we do this experiment.)
I'd be interested in somebody doing this, but instead of scaling it to 1000ms (1 second), I'd like to see it scaled to 16ms (single frame @60fps).

I feel like this would give a better representation of "time to feedback". Saying a ping of 65ms is like 5 years doesn't make a ton of sense as that's a relatively decent ping time. Saying it's 4 frames has a direct correlation to it's perceived delay, and matters to users.
Sure, but it may not be intuitive to people that one function could be exactly as fast on two very different processors, but another very similar function would be orders of magnitude different.
> 4. Yes paedophiles do spend a lot of time watching kids videos online. We can use unusual watch time patterns to spot this, and that's good - but really paedophilia has been a problem for 10,000 years and we as society need to find wider bigger ways to tackle this - along with medicine this will be a huge win for social ROI

I hear that argument fairly consistently about Uber drivers, but I ask most of my Uber drivers their experience on the platform. Almost every one of them seems to have quite a good grasp of the economics that are relevant to their situation.

They break down into 3 groups. The smallest are people between jobs. They're doing something that's better than their best alternative.

The next largest group are the occasional drivers, meaning Uber is not their main job. These people typically already own a car, so the fixed costs are leaving their pocket every month whether or not they drive ride sharing. Ride sharing more than comfortably covers their variable costs, so they're making money.

The largest group (in terms of rides given/taken, not in terms of drivers) are people who are driving Uber essentially full-time. Many of them have bought a car specifically for its Uber suitability (good gas mileage, low maintenance, etc) and I think these drivers are properly thinking about their expenses (because they're pretty compartmentalized).

I know it's common to think that the drivers are not fully and rationally evaluating the value proposition that Uber offers, but I see pretty frequent evidence to the contrary. There are fewer than 5% of people for whom I ask the question who respond in a way that makes me think that they think their predominant expense is "just gas money".
Raising threshold will not just reduce probability of false positive result, but also will raise probability of false negative. Social sciences are dealing with a complex phenomena and it maybe that there are no simple hypothesis like A -> B, that describes reality with p<0.05. While in reality A causes B, just there are C, D, ..., Z, and some of them also causes B, others works other way and cancel some of others. And some of them works only when Moon is in the right phase.

p<0.01 is good when we have a good model of reality which generally works. When we have no good model, there are no good value for p. The trouble is all the hypotheses are lies. The are false. We need more data to find good hypotheses. And we think like "there are useful data, and there are useless, we need to collect useful, while rejecting useless". But we do not know what data is useful, while we have no theory.

There is an example from physics I like. Static electricity. Researchers described in their works what causes static electricity. There was a lot of empirical data. But all that data was useless, because the most important part of it didn't get recorded. The most important part was a temporality of phenomena. Static electricity worked some time after charging and then discharged. Why? Because of all the materials are not a perfect insulators, there was a process of electrical discharge, there was voltage and current. It was a link to all other known electical phenomena. But physicists missed it because they had no theory, they didn't knew what is important and what is not. They chased what was shiny, like sparks from static electricity, not the lack of sparks after some time.

We are modern people. We are clever. We are using statistics to decide what is important and what is not. Maybe it is a key, but we need to remember that it is not a perfect key.
I mean more so that now that I'm back on my medicine, it's going to be a bit before I'm back at it's full effect.
We have a strict "no devices in bedrooms" for our kids (who are currently nine). YouTube's also blocked entirely via Disney's Circle on their devices; we permit strictly controlled usage on the family laptop if they have a specific need (an art tutorial, a Minecraft technique, etc.)

Back when they were little, YouTube was great; my daughter taught herself to finger-spell off videos, and I'd happily credit it for her precocious reading. The worst of the algorithmic BS back then was the busty "reply girls" on every popular video. It's a lot scarier now.
Do not use it if it is net negative for you but if you do, follow the instructions. You can't have the cake and eat it.

There are a lot of people at Tesla working fulltime on auto-pilot and some drivers think they know better than them by disregarding their instructions how to use it? Frankly, that's just crazy.
I'd like to see the data behind this statement. I highly doubt that the "roads like this" see zero accidents.

Based off of guard rail end cap lawsuits alone, it seems that humans many times get confused even when driving straight on a highway; whether they are paying attention is another question, if it's relevant at all.
Which is, of course, totally unacceptable. This is a critical use case for doing deep-dive debugging or for code exploration. Fortunately for us there is the wonderfully named "gohack", which does easily expose your deps for editing (though not as easily as before): https://github.com/rogpeppe/gohack
Indeed. Of course, the idea that this is invalid implies that "real" application code (whatever that is) would be designed to have a sequential dependency on a single wyhash64 result and to sit on its thumbs waiting. Maybe, and maybe not. One can make up any argument one likes.

Polish insurer PZU have teamed up with Estimote (manufacturer according to instruction manual at https://www.pzu.pl/_fileserver/item/1514856) to use beacons with accelerometer to detect vehicle collisions and summon help if needed. Presumably the bigger picture is to get drivers to opt in to allowing insurer to track driving habits.
No, but just because there's a pain, it doesn't mean it's important, or something should be done about it.
You are the man.

This is fantastic. Can't wait to see how this project progresses.

Some random suggestions:

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see the ability to add chords outside of the scale. Let's say I want to play an E major chord in an A Minor progression due to a harmonic minor substitution. Is that possible with this tool? It would be cool to be able to add common substitutions or completely random chords too, perhaps in a separate box.

It might also be cool to see the roman numerals along with the chords in the progressions or chord box, but that might be too cluttered.

Regardless, I am an instant fan of this. Great work.

That's not a bad point, it starts sounding like they needed to add features to a system that was never architected to handle them. Specially the MASC system needed more access to global state than was available in the module it was implemented in.

No they are not. Atheism makes no claims itself. Chambers says we do ("there is no god") while websters does not.

A claim was put forth: god exists. No proof was provided. Therefore atheists do not believe the claim.

This is consistent with a wide range of atheist writings and Webster's definition (but not with Chambers)

If airbnb hosts aren't paying taxes properly, then the hosts are committing a crime, not airbnb. Cities may want airbnb to collect taxes on behalf of hosts, because it makes enforcement much easier. That's a reasonable thing to want. However I don't see what conceivable jurisdiction Palm Beach county has over Airbnb that would enable it to coerce airbnb to collect said taxes. Accordingly, I can't imagine why anyone in airbnb's position wouldn't sue, in order to avoid the formation of precedent that allows every municipality in the country to impose whatever requirements they want on airbnb.

You may think airbnb is a net negative for many communities, and you're entitled to your opinion, but that's not evidence that crimes have been committed.

As for why US Attorneys and State AGs aren't bringing criminal charges, probably because they are actual lawyers who understand that you would have to provide evidence that a law has been broken.

Sure, a bug fix for a routine being called is maybe easier to fix, but the real world performance is still the important metric to track.
