Actually, you make a good point.

The social dynamics are themselves a dimension. Social network graphs can behave as fractals. In a gymnasium filled with people, there is a significant 'fractallyness' to the social network. In traffic, the fractallyness is very limited to just about all the people in the road near you. The social graph, though more fluid in a traffic jam than a pep-rally, is still fairly small.

3Blue1Brown has a great video on the dimensionality of fractals [0] that is useful here. I'm just going to spitball, but I'd bet that the dimensionality of the social graph of a traffic jam is really close to 1.

So in the end, the DoFs of a traffic jam are probably very close to 3, but just a bit over. Say, 3.14-ish. ;)

Although in that case it should be the not-disclosing of Chinese/Russian state secrets that you should be angry about.

The case at hand is the disclosure of documents about the U.S., if you're unhappy about that then it's irrelevant if they were being fair or not and if you're happy about it then your comment seems an odd response to the news that Assange is at risk of being punished for aiding in the leaking of those documents.

Uh given that Uber was the most recent autonomous car to kill someone, let me be a little skeptical that Uber is ready.

And, I suspect that give a 100 minute drive route now, if self-driving cars lower the bar of being in traffic, that the same commutes will actually get longer with even more traffic.

I think security is a much, much larger problem. Designing a safe, secure and reliable system for vehicles to communicate information with each other on an ad-hoc basis and designing a system to make use of that information in a way that doesn't allow bad actors to cause mayhem may be an equally hard problem to solve as the generalized computer vision that we need to make the current self-driving thrust work.

I hate driving in cities. It's stressful because you need to pay attention to so much going in around the streets, and be prepared to slam the brakes at all times. But I also think that's how it should be. Driving in cities should be discouraged IMO.

A city is the perfect place for mass transit. Park the cars away from the centre, provide good public transport and municipal bike rentals, and you reduce congestion and free up space for urban development.

This idea of having multilane roads running through prime real estate so people can spend an hour or so driving a few kilometres in stop-and-go traffic is just nuts to me. There's nothing efficient about it, and I expect as we try to bring co2 emissions down to sustainable levels, we'll have to give up on designing cities around private cars anyway.

In my experience this is how a lot of people practice learning TLA+: taking systems they already know and applying TLA+ to them. The advantage of this is you already know the system pretty well and can use that to check you modeled it correctly.

Also, it finds serious bugs scarily often. I've regularly received messages from people like "Yeah I tried modeling the system and it turns out we need to throw out six months of work due to a requirement bug".

Most of the money is from private donors, some of it is from the government, though that is pretty common -lots of governments give out grants and funding to private organizations for the purpose of cultivating ingenuity or developing certain industries.

As I understand it the major help, and where it had a major advantage on other similar attempts, was by access to advance research and testing facilities of avionics in the IAI (a quasi government company in charge of commercial and military development of avionics). Especially wind tunnels and similar simulators.

Building and most importanly maintaining jQuery apps is an absolute nightmare that I hope I will never have to experience again.

However, jQuery apps built 10 years ago still work flawlessly and updating plugins generally doesn't break the app. Newer solutions like React change so much that if you have an app that you built and left there without updating it chances are after 1-2 years it won't even compile without replacing components that are no longer available.

More like, don't use Lastpass if they can't keep all your password-use data on the client side, which is supposed to be their entire shtick? This detail about the metadata leak should be the main outtake, if not the news of the day.

When I looked into using Lastpass, I asked them on the support forum why their own documentation says they can alert you when emails you use on websites appear in leaks, if the password database is supposed to be inaccessible by the Lastpass backend. They said I'm reading the docs wrong and it's only the Lastpass account email that they alert about. I re-checked the docs: nope, clearly says website accounts that I put into the database.

Here's the thread, which has a screenshot of the docs at that time: https://forums.lastpass.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=165485

In the end they said the checks are done locally—by downloading dozen-gigabyte leak archives like the exploit.in, I guess? But still I suppose the alert emails are sent server-side. And the support saying I was “misquoting the manual” was enough for me.

That's a problem with cyclists who don't follow the rules of the road for drivers of vehicles. When I cycle, I will check my mirror and signal prior to changing lanes. I'll only make left turns from the left lane and right turns from the right lane. I won't pass right turning cars on the right or left turning cars on the left.

> and can stop in inches

Not really. The contact patch is much smaller and most of the weight shifts to the front under hard braking. Cars, with their suspensions and ABS systems can stop as fast or even faster than a cyclist with excellent bike handling skills. The average cyclist will take longer to come to a stop from the same speed when compared to a motorist.

> They don't generally obey traffic lights, stop signs, one ways, or any of the other rules that lend predictability to car behavior.

That's a problem with the cyclists. There are cyclists who do obey the rules of the road for drivers of vehicles.

> They don't have brake lights or signals

You can get them aftermarket and good ones at that if you're willing to spend the money. It's unfortunate that headlamps and taillamps are not mandated as standard equipment on bicycles. You can thank the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) which advocated for an all reflector standard over a combination standard of reflectors and lights.

> They also have no protection.

Car drivers don't have much protection relative to tractor-trailers and buses, yet people drive their cars amongst those much heavier vehicles all the time.

I think that the wedge product is fantastic and the geometric product is basically useless -- it has no geometric interpretation, complicates things massively, and conceals intuition wherever it is used. So I'd argue that 'exterior algebra' (which is the language used by differential forms, plus the exterior derivative) is basically the right framework for physics.

(The reason the geometric product is used in GA is that it's the extension of complex/quaternion multiplication to higher dimensions, and allows for inverting (non-zero-norm) multivectors . But I don't think that makes it worth including. It's not true a priori that inverting vectors is useful to physics, and it only really makes sense when they're being used as linear transformations -- in which case you can just use linear transformations explicitly.

It’s partially that, it’s partially that systems people are very conservative, and it’s partially Rust’s own history before 1.0. People do view major breaking changes very differently these days due to those specific situations, and some people still think Rust changes daily. Systems languages tend to have a stability timeline of “forever.”

Rust does have a strong commitment to safety, but not an absolute commitment to correctness. These things happen very infrequently. Is it really worth taking an extreme action (which a major language version bump is, especially in the systems space) just to turn a few warnings into errors? Currently, we don’t think so. Maybe in 20 years, when (And if! :) ) there is more than one standard library API that suffers this problem, it would be worth it, but at the current time, it just doesn’t seem to make sense.
They won't change anything while they spend the next 10 years in legal maneuvers to draw out the case, then, probably after they've made another billion euros on other shitty, dangerous products, they will settle out of court for a pittance compared to the profit they made off of this and other discontinued and dangerous chemicals.

Neural Networks for Modeling Source Code Edits [pdf] – Google Brain
Every phone I've had in the last decade has come with GPS (which includes altitude), giros and even magnetic compasses. So they can work out the angle of attack without the need for additional sensors, or at the very least a backup!

Unless you’ve launched your phone into the air in a fit of rage, it doesn’t have an angle of attack. :)

Angle of attack is the angle between the wing and the oncoming air.

You might be wondering how that’s different from how high the nose is, and you’d be justified in wondering that. Every student pilot in the world gets these two very different things mixed up! But they are very different.

Next time you’re near an airport, watch the planes as they come in for landing. Try to get a vantage point from the side if you can. You’ll notice two things: (1) the airplane is descending, and (2) the nose is flat or pointed just slightly up.

It should be clear that in this situation, the angle between the oncoming air and the wing — the angle of attack — and the angle of the nose are different. Because the airplane is descending, the angle of attack is greater than the angle of the nose.

Snark aside, no... the roads definitely helped but the vast majority of such traffic for thousands of years was done over "ad-hoc" roads, basically a beaten path. A road implies a base - pavement, stones, etc. For most of the history of carriages they used mostly beaten paths. For most (all?) of the history of the automobile they used roads.

And I'm pretty sure that at any point in history probably until a century or two ago there were more "beaten paths" in the world than actual roads. Which isn't the case now.

My point stands, highlighted by the quote: "large". The network of roads built for carriages pales in comparison with the scale of the current infrastructure for cars. Which I assume was the whole point of the comparison in the comment I replied to. I just objected to the unnecessarily vague or misleading use of "large". There was a road infrastructure. Whether it was large depends on how creative you get with the reference point.

And I'm not even counting the fact that the infrastructure for cars includes far more than just the roads. In this context almost any other infrastructure of any kind built before the 20th century is absolutely tiny.
15 Years Later, There's New Footage of the Biggest Street Fighter Moment Ever
> Cyclists and other non-car users of roads have a deep hole to climb out of to change these laws, and to change the perception that streets are only for cars. Infrastructure is probably the only real mechanism we have that can make tangible changes, that don't allow the personal feelings of car drivers to get angry at being inconvenienced by cyclists and other road users.

The problem is that the infrastructure is often inferior compared to the actual road due to bad intersection management, bad surface conditions, significantly longer routes, or routes that don't take you where you need to go. Another approach would be to repeal the keep as far right as practicable laws and allow cyclists the right to use an entire traffic lane when riding and require faster vehicles to change lanes to pass.

Agreed. Or if the climate is changing you need to know about that far more than the antics of some former pornstar.

And this is where importance and relevance comes in. Getting the facts right is meaningless if the story is low / no priority.
You’re conflating Cargo, Rust (the language), and std/core libraries, and rustc (the compiler). This is one of the difficult parts of Rust and when people say “there won’t be a Rust 2.0” they don’t clarify which part they’re talking about.

Given the tight relationship of all of these parts (despite each one being capable of being individually versioned), it would seem feasible to add a cfg attribute for the Rust edition, and then make the function unsafe if the user had opted in to Rust 2021 (or whatever).

>we know they're full of crap and don't actually believe murder is bad, they're simply saying that to appear remorseful and less guilty.

Actually, no. The world is full of people who do bad things while believing they are bad.

For example, I engage in a lot of practices that I think are harmful for the environment. I buy food that I suspect/believe is causing the environment harm. I buy products made with packaging that I believe causes harm. But I'm still openly against those practices. And if a ballot measure comes up to ban products involving those practices in my city/state/country, I'll vote for it.

There's no inconsistency here. The notion that one is required to practice what they preach is a flawed one. Knowledge and practice are orthogonal. People do bad things because they get value out of them. Knowing it is wrong doesn't suddenly reduce the value one gets from them. My food tastes the same regardless of my knowledge on the harm it does to the environment.
