To quibble with the headline: not so I'd notice, and I think I know my own situation better than some random writer on the Internet.

Appealing to people's self-interest doesn't seem like a great argument. How about talking about how it hurts other people that we want to support?
Since a lidar uses a discrete frequency band and it's own energy source, it's much easier to process the signal for depth information (using the lag between sending and receiving a return pulse(s) and the wavelength). Arguably such a system might provide a better basis for a backup system based on modelling obstacles and their distances from the vehicle.
I wonder if it's such a great loss. What if a few hundred Americans moved to Australia? Is whatever they would do with their wealth in the US worth more than the price we pay for their disproportionate political influence?
Definitely drones. Quiet and exhaust free.
But the kind of people who can get an apartment would be normalized. Window cleaners would have a similar chance of getting an apartment as their boss. I think that would be better for the health of the city and a better solution until either demand lowers or supply grows than just excluding low income workers from the city.

Do you happen to know who/what lead that policy change in Irish government, and why it was not opposed by neighboring EU countries?
I find that giving names to things is a way to manage complexity and relationships which scales to far more complicated systems than visual representations that I'm familiar with. Maybe the inability of a visual representation to cope with complexity is an advantage in promoting less complex systems, but making systems which handle our world that are that simple seems expensive.

I started introductory work in circuit design via a visual interface. You could drag and drop components, size them, connect them, and so on. I had to do quite a lot of work on the layout for even simple designs to appear comprehensible. There were just so many relationships, and crossing wires is so problematic that it's hard to provide high level detail or low level detail. You graduate to connecting things by names, then to a description language which is purely in terms of names.

Programming visualization struggles to remain comprehensible in view of the full complexity of the underlying system. I took a single variable, and tracked every function which interacted with this variable based on read or write relationships across a single (fairly top level) function call. The graph that I generated from this fundamental tree-like structure was unusably complex. After collapsing nodes appropriately, I could explore the graph to get some understanding, but no one that I shared this with understood how to use it. I don't know if this is argument for visual representations (since I used it to explore these relationships) or against.

Nevertheless, I see no reason why we need to draw such a distinction between a text-based specification and a visual one. We certainly can design a language-visual dual which is trivially isomorphic, so getting that system hardly requires a paradigm shift.
Billionaires do though :-)
could that be interpreted as the ones with trash balls (NFTs) might actually be the ones handling it 'better'?
If one reads that statement carefully, that says nothing about whether Facebook can read it before encryption. It only says they wouldn't be able to decrypt, once encrypted.

Inflammation often is directly causative, for example atherosclerosis where the inflammatory response directly results in the buildup of plaques. Inflammation is not typically the root cause, however; something else instigates the inflammation.

The distinction matters because the best treatment (greatest efficacy, most cost efficient) may target one or more of the links in the causative chain, but not necessarily the root cause.
Are you kidding? Do you know how much housing is bought but no one is living in it?
I know a Turkish millionaire (German citizen, but he'll never say that), he's living it up in Germany.

Then again, his wealth is only because his family bought up a bunch of land and housing in central and southern Turkey. So while they sat on it, living in Germany, other Turks worked hard to develop the cities and business, increasing property value tenfold. A good investment, but one can see why people want the rich taxed more.

Unpredictability is a major cause of economic dysfunction. If no one can reliably/predictably obtain housing even if it’s cheap, I’d be surprised if the economy didn’t go haywire and then those low income workers you speak of will be no-income non-workers.
There is an inflammatory correlation as well, it may be simply that.

I have been out of the AD literature for about 6 years but back in Med school read every major paper from the 80s onwards. The flip flop between tau and AB as the causative agent was very interesting
Or do we?

People taking acyclovir regularly (to suppress HSV1 and 2 symptoms) have been found to have a 10 fold decrease in risk of getting Alzheimer's (Taiwanese study).

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322463.php

Additional studies are currently ongoing to confirm this in the US.

The scientific "journalists" seem to jump to the conclusion that therefor HSV1,2 must be cuasal for Alzheimer's. But it could be that Acyclovir somehow prevents or slows the formation of AB tau prion-like forms (and has nothing to do with the herpes - Alzheimer's causality).

Or. Some Acyclovir prevents Alzheimer's through a completely different mechanism we don't know about yet.

My point: effective medication may already be there. We just don't know how it works yet.
>"We know a little more about the UFO itself. It is described as “wingless, white, and shaped like an oblong pill. It was 24-30 (40 in the NYT article) feet long and had no visible markings or glass. The USS Princeton was able to faintly track the “capsule” via its SPY-1B radar system, but the fighters were not able to get a radar lock on the object. The “capsule” was not only more maneuverable than the Hornets but also much faster —for it to have reached the CAP point ahead of the Navy fighters it would have had to have flown in excess of 2,400 miles an hour. According to FighterSweep.com, which published a detailed chronicle of the event in 2015, the object did not emit hot jet exhaust typical of ordinary aircraft."

I agree with you that the ingredients matter, but I also think as a blanket statement avoiding processed foods is smart.

I think this is a pretty good synopsis of why canola and PUFA's (polyunsaturated fatty acids)are bad. I actually think it's possible that we should be vilifying them on the same level as sugar. https://www.alexfergus.com/blog/pufa-s-the-worst-thing-for-y...
That's a reasonable argument for the people still living in the states. But falls apart when it comes to FATCA.

Also you could make the argument that the people rich enough take advantage of these schemes have already paid more tax than most people through other taxes.
In beta it’s probably still better than most humans, so that stance makes no sense. We’d do better to get human drivers off the roads.
Everybody knows Malta, Cyprus, US Virgin Islands, etc. are tax havens/tax evasion shelters, it is very surprising that this is surprising.
You are right, of course. Asking for comments is fine.

I guess the combination of looking at the (very broad) contents of the list, past issues with crypto export and knowing Trump is in the White House made me overreact...
one of the authors discovered prions, so I am not so quick to discount their work.
Are you suggesting they let in people who failed the standardized exam just to improve racial diversity?
Good to see Perth on here!
I'd love to see more research on this, I just wonder who would actually do it.
The passage I quoted is specifically talking about tax evasion. As in, I pay the taxes I'm required to by law, and these people are not paying the taxes they are required to by law.
Rich people only have so many kids. For the price of admitting ~2 students every 25 years or so you get a free building or an endowment that pays the way for 10s or 100s of students every single year.

Thanks to the current tax environment the school doesn't have some alternate choice; the state is not going to step in and provide that funding.

As an administrator do you take the money or do you skip out on expanding a department or admitting 20 kids who need a full ride scholarship to attend?
Sounds like a great world!

At least in the case of China, it's probably less about taxes and more about the fact that rich people have a bad habit of dying mysteriously:

I don't have any particular emotionally charged programming against informing myself about and investigating America's crimes against humanity using multiple sources, since I don't live in the American hubris bubble. Of course, Americans may argue 'this just makes me prejudiced against America', to which I can only respond "my prejudice against America is based on direct familiarity with America's victims of its criminal wars - i.e. the armless orphan children in the local refugee camp" .. but most Americans wouldn't know anything about the victims of their wars. Too painful for them to know anything, at all, about it - especially when there are so many GoT episodes to complain about...
Unlikely. The only comments he's provided here are one sentence sound bites that channel Musk's purest essence.

Companies using LIDAR? "They bet wrong".

People describing how stereo cameras don't inherently see 3D? "Baloney. Based on eyesight".

Companies that have spent years and billions developing and testing autonomy? "Almost certain they are wrong".
Thermodynamics.

Certain proteins have a propensity to Misfold, this is driven by the folding conformations as well as by Heat Shock Proteins. The underlying genetics that drive amino acid sequence are the basis for this. In the best known prion disease, Mad Cow, one misfolded protein drives other similar proteins it runs into to induce the same conformation. Due to the thermodynamics of folding, it is now in a very stable structure and won’t revert to its original or desired biological structure, is difficult or impossible to clear, and will cause other proteins to fold in the same way.

There is no shortage of examples of how powerful platforms and governments are using this technology in a way that reduces personal freedom. Surveillance is the name of the game in our current era of internet business models. Are you suggesting that this isn't the case?
From the update at the very top of the article the GP linked:

> Epic has offered an update on the confusingly worded statement issued to press earlier today regarding Rocket League's future status on Steam, now insisting that it has "not announced plans to stop selling the game there".

Even if they do pull future sales of Rocket League off of Steam why is that a problem? Valve has purchased game companies. I've never seen anyone complain that you can't buy Left 4 Dead on GoG.
I wonder how immigrant status works. How much of their bullshit can be explained by non-native language for a test. When you read foreign term for a math notion (or any term from any domain), often you are unable to identify it, while you are know it and all you need is to read wikipedia article and to recognize familiar math constructions.

I might think that the 'proper number' is the 'perfect number', for example. 'Subjunctive scaling' is decidedly is not something I know: it is about logic, I studied it but then successfully forgot after exam. While 'declarative fraction'... What is it? Is it a some way to write down a number in fractional notation and associated set of numbers that can be expressed that way? Probably I know it, just do not recognize the term.
Excellent point. I just wish they'd use the correct SI unit for this kind of thing - "libraries of congress".
Did newsweek get hacked?
Those deaths were not caused by autopilot though.
Lidar is active (so lower res than vision) and uses slightly longer wavelengths (again, lower res). Visible light uses passive solar illumination by day, power-efficient, far more data; and is a problem you need to solve for reliable autonomy independent of lidar.
None of which are strictly _forced_ - my laptop (Windows 10 Pro) _never_ installs an update without asking me, and my mother's and grandmother's machines (Windows 10 Home) are setup without an Internet user account.
Do you mean that it is absolutely, without a doubt, certain that man will colonize Mars and that it will succeed?
Damn you truly had a visceral reaction to this. Calm down lmao

16-year-olds can talk and try to explain themselves. Humans try very hard to make themselves understand. Neural nets can't (at least, not yet).
> Also, the third graph on page 202 shows that the Earth was MUCH warmer a thousand years ago than it is now, despite far less CO2.

It's true, but doesn't prove your point. Specifically, we're still left with two options: what we see now is the same cyclic effect, or what we see now is caused by us and if we get another cycle on top we're screwed even faster. You'd have to show the inverse - that the production of lots of CO2 does not affect the cyclic process. (Or that the pattern of the current raise is extremely likely to belong to a cycle)
> Possibilities like this scare me far more than the lack of LIDAR because replicating a bug like this would be next to impossible. We don't know what we don't know, and we can't explore and understand the system to suss out what we don't know.

I don't think this is true. According to the Tesla live stream a few days ago, the cameras are always gathering data. Tesla cars could have a black box (like planes) , and they could just replay everything that happened up to M minutes before the accident, and retrain neural networks to avoid it later. According to the live, they automatised this process with the "Data Engine".

But anyway, this is definitely not an excuse to beta test the system with actual customer's lives, IMHO.
IF you have fucking amazing people skills AND a passable ability to self-learn THEN compsci degree skills are incidental and you'll pick up enough to pass. Most people don't.

Also most self taught programmers are dogshit at math/theory and it reflects in their code.

Elite reveal anxiety over ‘class war’ and ‘revolution’
Where did you get that people are surprised? I'm not surprised. Reality is Hobbesian; violence and lawlessness is the natural state. Tax evasion is never surprising.

What I'm advocating is retaliation against other countries that are facilitating criminal behavior.
Fair enough. Treatment can attack any link in the chain.

Prevention can't, and to me Alzheimer's is something that should be prevented. But we work with what we have.
> “Throughout centuries what we’ve seen when the masses think the elites have too much, one of two things happens: legislation to redistribute the wealth . . . or revolution to distribute property. Those are the two choices historically and debating it back and forth, saying ‘no, it’s capitalism; no, it’s socialism’ is what creates revolution.”

Australia recently ruled that its local (10%) Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies to the majority of online purchases. The big overseas sites, such as Amazon, claimed that it was not practical for them to collect the GST on behalf of the Australian Government. It could get interesting now that that Australia can say "but you have the facility to collect out of state taxes, so why not out of country?"

Presumably there will be a host of new web based startups offering a one-stop tax collection service for all jurisdictions in the world.
I think their assumption is that you do all that thinking and negotiation while picking an insurance provider so it's covered.

But then you get carted unconscious to a hospital you are covered for but looked over by an "out of network" doctor, whatever that is.

Being an American seems like a full time job. You have to watch your back so society doesn't eat you. The frequent obsession over credit scores I see on Reddit is another one that baffles me.
Agreed.

I'm not sure what things are like in America, but when I lived in the UK I paid off my mortgage earlier than expected by paying more than the minimum monthly mortgage payments.

Once the mortgage was paid off I received the deeds to the property, and in this case it was a bundle of documents about an inch thick recording the details of the property and every single person who'd owned it since it was built in 1893 or so.

The first few owners lived there for 10+ years each, then later you'd see a couple of long stretches where one family had it for 20 years, before it came to the 80s and it seemed to change hands every 1-3 years.

The initial sale price was around £100, and it gradually jumped up to when I bought it for £97,500 and then sold it for £162,000.

Fascinating reading, I wish I'd scanned the documents before I passed them back when I sold the place. The only time I've ever owned a property outright, though I'm getting close to having paid off a place here in Helsinki now so I'll be curious to see what I receive, if anything, when I've done so.
What is the downside to a land value tax? Or put another way, how can you fairly assess taxes based on the value of the land?

It seems absurd that a vacant parking lot pays basically nothing in property taxes while a hotel of the same size pays tens of thousand a month, but both take up the same amount of space and have the same potential. This kind of tax would certainly lead to better utilization.
There are few very high profile UFO cranks, Sen. Harry Reid and Robert Bigelow, who give support for these narratives in the US and are able to lobby government money for UFO issues.

That whole 2004 incident with a video is just one man's story that nobody else in the scene saw the same way. It was not seen as worth of report or anything. One airman in the videos even says "It's a drone".

It’s less about taxes, but it’s also not about dying mysteriously.

The main reason is to have a backup plan in case things go wrong: there aren’t a lot of reliable legal protections to begin with and the political situation can change any time.

Better have your wealth stored outside of the country and an additional citizenship so you can leave when necessary.
yeah I don't understand why there are so many posts in this thread that claim AEB can't do this kind of things with so much video evidence going around.

but here's the point, vision system detects objects it knows how to detect, lidar systems detects obstacles; as such doesn't surprise me a bit tesla is trained to recognize car from that aspect only to plow into 90deg rotated trucks, as when for example they cross an intersection.
Sure, but this particular study came out of the lab of the Nobel-prize-winning scientist who literally discovered prions. I think it's at least worthy of discussion.

Just to provide background, what you describe is nowhere close to feasible. Designing novel proteins is computationally intractable. It took evolution billions of years and parallel optimization to figure out how to problem solve with polypeptides. We're not even at the punch card phase.
Well, as an avid Rocket League player, and primarily a Linux gamer, this does not really fill me with confidence.
Tesla demonstrated a system doing exactly this at their autonomy event. The video is worth watching whatever you think Tesla.
