I could also be reading into your words more than is there as a result of my own prior experience.

> It can after all be perfectly consistent to hold both views (i.e. that society treats people in various gendered ways and favors men over women on average) - you just have to be careful about what you are taking as evidence for what claims.

It is possible to both perspectives at the same time, but it seems a bit like addition of epicycles to Ptolemaic cosmology: an post-hoc modification to the general theory without much deeper examination into the inconsistency.

Of course all scientific models are off in some regard, it doesn't prevent them from being useful. But it is good to be aware of the edge cases in our model, in case it turns out we need to update it.

> the existence of a subset of disenfranchised men is not evidence against society favoring men generally, while it is evidence against that being universal.

Let me pose it this way: The question isn't just why are there men who are disenfranchised. If society is systematically biased against women, then why are they disproportionately absent from the lowest tiers?

Is it wild? I'm guessing this one year is the year they sell their "working" house and downsize into retirement. Many retirees will see a windfall of 1-2 million from going from a paid off property in a city to a house for their retirement in New Mexico. I know some specific cases of similar transitions moving from Boston to Vermont, when you don't need to be located near a job center you can find really cheap real estate.

> Stop ascribing human-like emotions and awareness to other species.

Well, take a monkey, orca, elephant, dolphin, etc. and it would be hard not to. Sure, many farm animals fall below that level, but they're not bugs either. Many mammals have some basic language, care for their young, give distress calls, migrate, find shelter, etc. which seems to indicate at least some level of future planning whether innate or not. And many intelligent mammals have been seen grieving the dead or rescuing animals from danger.

> In free range "captivity" they suffer less. It's as simple as that.

Yet philosophy courses still exist... Because it's not as simple as that. For some, life is more than just the reduction of suffering. And there are a million other ways to answer "why we exist" or "how we should live".

For animals, we don't know. I think it's absurd to say we're giving them a better/easier/happier life on a farm or out in the wild. We don't know.

Taking zoos as an example though (which is a similar form of captivity, except they don't kill their animals), most people don't think it's a better life, except in the case where the animal is so weak, sick or unable to care for itself that it couldn't hunt in the wild.

Tons of prey animals are reintroduced to the wild, without concern that they might be eaten (some will), but in the hopes that many will survive and reproduce.

So, I guess if your goal is to ensure that the most number of animals lead a somewhat confined life away from predators until they're done growing, farms make sense. If your goal is to ensure that animals get to experience life in their native habitats including the ability to mate and get eaten, then farms aren't so good.
Using your logic, everything we do can be considered an unnecessary waste of resources. We don't need the internet and cars and air conditioning and plane travel and television and houses and land ownership and governments and militaries, etc. etc.

To continue down your slippery slope, you'll find the only proper way to live is to revert to the woods and live as a hunter-gatherer society.

Where you chose to draw the line is just as arbitrary as where the OP chooses to draw the line. To claim yourself as morally superior is ridiculous.

The river now has a lot of rights that it previously did not. This will create a lot of really interesting legal possibilities.

Compare with what personhood has done for corporations - classing political donations as "free speech" has been an avenue for them to get around limits intended to make it harder to buy politicians.

We speak metaphorically about how corporations rape the land. Can this river now sue corporations who dump garbage into it for raping it? Probably not if there's a legal definition of what "rape" is. But maybe charges of "assault" are possible.

The article notes that which rights a body of water has have yet to be determined. That's going to be some interesting times.
All tools were created to solve at least one problem. Explaining what that problem is, and how the tool is useful for solving it, goes a long way towards making it easy to figure out the abstract template of tool application. Going a step further and explicitly explaining why the tool works and when it doesn't is the marrow of an actual education that can be used out of context.
Umberto Eco on memory at the then-newly opened Bibliotheca Alexandrina:

> WE HAVE THREE TYPES OF MEMORY. The first one is organic, which is the memory made of flesh and blood and the one administrated by our brain. The second is mineral, and in this sense mankind has known two kinds of mineral memory: millennia ago, this was the memory represented by clay tablets and obelisks, pretty well known in this country, on which people carved their texts. However, this second type is also the electronic memory of today's computers, based upon silicon. We have also known another kind of memory, the vegetal one, the one represented by the first papyruses, again well known in this country, and then on books, made of paper. Let me disregard the fact that at a certain moment the vellum of the first codices were of an organic origin, and the fact that the first paper was made with rugs and not with wood. Let me speak for the sake of simplicity of vegetal memory in order to designate books.

We (as an organization) are a couple years away from doing Rust for embedded work, but I'll be pushing hard in that direction after I'm more comfortable with it (I'm the tech lead in the organization), in part because I dislike C++ so, so much.
It's cultural appropriation, and it's understandable you feel it's silly or offensive. Part of what makes it uncomfortable is the appropriation of culture for little more than vapid monetary gain. Like you said, it's not contributing to Americans' understanding of Italian culture---if anything it's hurting it with silly stereotypes.

Interestingly, if someone was criticizing the appropriation of an indigenous or asian culture, there is little chance it would be this highly upvoted on HN. I think this is a worthwhile lesson for the community.
Can you elaborate on this and give us some specific examples?

Think about it from a supply/configuration/logistics point of view. It might be cheaper to make 500k cars with 100% heated seats rather than 250k w/ heated and 250k w/o heated. Even if BOM cost is lower, the additional complexity due to the logistics and supply chain probably means it's more expensive to have both variants in production. That way people who want heated seats are subsidising the lower overall cost for those who don't. It also allows the next owner of the car to pay for that option at a later date if they want to. Almost every industry does this (there was a good case about oscilloscopes a while back, where the cheaper, lower bandwidth models just had a low-pass filter circuit installed).
Okay, I'll bite. What are you calling a dark pattern in assorted agents? Especially given that dark pattern implies intent to harm. (And I say this as someone looking at using an agent: If there's a gotcha, I'd like to know about it)
I don't think it's really price snobbery. I've been to much nicer restaurants with average plate prices in the $10–$20 dollar range that those places fall into. There are even a lot of "foodie" places in that range.
> If your job is to strategize for the entire company and you're busy learning the minutiae that you spend a lot of money for other people to worry about, maybe you need to consider using your time a little better

This is what everyone that is not Tesla or SpaceX are doing. And have been doing for a long time. If the CEO is not an engineer at heart, what are they?

I seriously doubt Elon Musk has more engineering knowledge than the people he hires on their specific fields. However, he can make pretty well informed strategic decisions if he knows WTF the engineers are talking about without taking their word – not even that, as explanations have to be dumbed down.

This is not a new thing. Bill Gates was like that (1). Steve Jobs was no dummy and had an engineering background, but not at the same level – he did parter with a genius engineer, however.

I think Musk is doing the right thing.

> Which might explain why he's a crummy CEO

That's quite debatable, I'd say. Isn't he getting results?

Musk would have you think it's a Lidar vs. cameras debate. It's not. It's a Lidar + cameras vs. just cameras debate. Lidar has significant shortcomings. So do cameras. But together they make for a decent perception system.

With regards to fleet learning, Tesla has been going on about it for years, but more data is not better. Better data is better. Clifornia's disengagement reports have seen criticism because they place an emphasis on the number of overall miles driven as a useful measure of progress, when actually it doesn't mean much. Companies like Zoox, after spending years doing small-scale closed course testing hit the ground running, and with only 10 vehicles and a few months of driving around San Fransisco they were able to take reporters for autonomous rides, and they took a couple dozen journalists to various pre-designated spots around SF with only one disengagement the whole day.

The nice thing about the whole fleet learning narrative is that is makes Tesla drivers feel like they're helping just by driving around.

If by this year he means 2050, then I'd still be kinda surprised.

I just spent the weekend racking up several hundred miles in a brand new Model P3D. Phenomenal performance, I am completely sold on the future of EV. I was underwhelmed by autopilot however. Drives like a drunk. The adaptive cruise control part actually made me motion sick. I had high hopes going in, so it was a pretty big let down.

I suspect Tesla is going to find themselves on the other end of a class action lawsuit over all the FSD upgrades they've been selling.

It's about how Dyalog APL uses SSE/AVX instructions to speed up searching, in cases like:

- given a short vector of digits, test each character in a long string to see if it's a member of digits.
- given a short vector of bucket-boundaries (0, 25, 50, 75, 100), test each number in a long vector to see which interval it would fall into.

They pack multiple small integers into one vector register, use it do 16 simultaneous binary searches, code to avoid branching and branch mis-prediction, use the crc32 CPU instruction for hashing, and other tricks, to average under 1ns "item in vector" membership testing.
As another comment points out, I was referring to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. I live in Alabama and that is a lesson we teach our kids (there’s a wonderful book introducing these very harsh themes at a level even young kids can understand: “I Am Rosa Parks”).

But the terrain didn't deter the drone, so it would probably be trivial to fly a drone there, and since it's a flower it could possibly be plucked by clipping and hoisting it, or destroyed by dropping something onto it.

It's not exactly brain surgery to imagine such a thing.
Part of that value prop is predictability. There are a lot of people who like to know exactly what they'll get, even when (especially when) travelling, and this is also why highway rest areas and airports so often have national fast food & coffee chains.
I would argue the cost is not much higher than fast food, but the quality is arguably still a large step up. Obviously these places get a lot of points for their excellent choice of bread (be they sticks, biscuits, etc.), and there's arguably something to be said for going to a restaurant and knowing they have food you like.

If you go to these restaurants a little more regularly, you also can stack up the rewards benefits, sometimes you can get discounted gift cards, etc. All of which you will not find at a non-chain restaurant.

Which is to say, if I can get a sirloin for the cost of a Whopper, it isn't much of a mystery why people go there.

> With HTTP/1.1 there is a defacto connection pool inside the browser and this throttling has been a feature of front-end development for 15+ years

This is only true when you look at a single client. If you look at a larger number of clients accessing the service at the same time, you would expect similar numbers of concurrent requests on HTTP/2 as on HTTP/1.1. Clients send larger numbers of requests at the same time, but they are done sending requests earlier so there are requests from fewer clients being processed concurrently. It should average out.

If you have, say, a 1000 clients accessing your service in one minute, I doubt the number of requests/second would be very different between both protocol versions. It would only be an issue if the service was built with a small number of concurrent users in mind.

> This isn't a technical challenge, it's an organizational one

No, it's an economical one. Who will use that web? You mention Twitter, yet are they not dependent on JS for analytics and ad-tracking? The few sites not dependent on such features are already usable on Lynx and Elinks, and the others simply won't use them.

For the advantages, you mention having a good WYSIWYG editor, but the reason you can't add bold or color to a Twitter post is obviously not because they are unable to add those functions, but because they don't want you to do that. Which raises the question: what happens when that editor lets you create something the site doesn't allow you to use?

When the economy crashed, I saw many people I know who had done everything right in terms of retirement savings get wiped out just as they were retiring. They were ruined.

Each individual case is different, but en masse household net worth (house value and stock market investments) dropped 17%. Four years later, it was back to where it was pre-recession. 17% is a hell of a haircut, but not what I would categorize as "ruined". Unless, and here's my most likely theory, they panicked and made a poor timing choice in selling the house or selling stocks at the worst possible time, and then had to buy back in at higher prices (because they missed most of the upswing while sitting out).

My parents, OTOH, sat it out just fine, and are so far from ruined that Mom bought herself a new C7 Corvette a few years ago. Anecdata all around, but if you can't sit tight for four more years, you're doing something wrong.

In the mid-nineties a company named Avanti stole code from Cadence Design Systems (where I worked at the time, though I had no involvement in the case). This was first discovered by an engineer noticing that error messages in the two systems were similar in ways that made no intuitive sense. Case was unusual in that several Avanti executives actually wound up going to jail for the theft.

Your phrasing is a bit misleading, wealth is very fleeting, but the 2-5 generations to get into the top 1% is not "typical" by definition 1% of people reside in the top 1% - if we were to assume that the cycle of boom and bust is the lower bound in your example (two to fall out, two to get in) then one out of every five generations a family should be in the 1%, yielding that 20% of the population should currently be in the top 1% - using your upper bounds it's a bit less silly but still mathematically unsound _and_ I would strongly challenge that 2-3 generations number. Evidence that I've seen doesn't support wealthy families falling out in 2-3 generations (except borderline wealthy families) and the dynamics of money are changing, the estate tax has been abolished and we simply don't have enough information past 1980 to see if that claim will hold true... and what evidence we have (general information about wealth inequality) is showing a strong trend to continue the concentration of wealth.
Is that the full stream though, it seems very perfectly set at 2 hours, like it's the last 2 hours... idk, seems to jump in half way.
Thank you, that makes sense. Rather than this reality being discouraging to all the aspiring mathematicians who've been learning and building on their own, I think it should be encouragement -- to find ways to get closer to the community, to learn more of what they already know, and perhaps eventually find mentoring or collaboration.
Clickbait for low hanging fruit. This is weak sauce, and really doesn't deserve a lot of attention.
> What does government do with the money?

Mostly dissipate it. Your argument rests on the notion that government invests money more productively than wealthy people do. This is pretty hard to support, since the wealthy are wealthy because they are very good at productively investing the money.

Bezos did create his wealth, in large part from the efficiency of getting products to customers, which is why customers preferred to shop at Amazon. They get a better deal.

They cherry-pick rare cases and use their fleet to get more examples of these situations. This seems like the right approach given more miles following the same car in a straight line is pretty useless.

My takeaway from the presentation is that Tesla will perform better than other companies in this space (although I don't know enough about Waymo to comment) due to the following:

-You want a large dataset (Tesla and many companies have this and can simulate)
-You want a varied/diverse dataset (Tesla and many companies have this and can simulate)--the point here is simulations for simple cases work (you can only simulate when you know), but for complex ones are close to the difficulty of actual FSD
-You want a real dataset (Tesla is the only company who can say this and can say they have data on how X00Ks of drivers will handle these situations)
