The federally & state funded public Universities that will fall over each other to employ adversity scores as a pillar of their academic life, on the other hand... One can attempt to outsource responsibility from a legalistic perspective, but from a moral perspective one can't escape it.
So... human drivers.
That's specializing on type, not on a given specific value. Being JS the value influences the type, but it's only looking at a coarse binning (int vs. double vs. string etc..) not specializing for a single specific value. A form of de-virtualization if you will.

Hotspot wouldn't even need to bother with that most of the time since it's primarily running statically typed languages for which that doesn't apply in the first place.
Wow punishing those in privilege creates equality. The logic “progressive” american politics is pursuing is truly scary and broken.

Hating the rich is hate.

If you really loved the poor you would think how to help them lift themselves up. Holding down the top both doesn’t work and is deeply unethical.

College board should provide free tutoring and review classes based of their adversity score instead.

I can’t image this scheme
won’t be challenged in courts. Especially the keeping secret the score, imagine if your credit score was kept secret and this will effect their lives more than credit score.

As I have said in other comments, next we need an Unattractiveness Score as we know physical traits have high correlation and causation to success and wealth, clearly a privilege and creating inequality.

Tax credits for the ugly. Mandatory minor face disfigurement for the overly beautiful or handsome.

Very scary developments. America is under true threat to its future with this politics.

If the parties were working for the good of all Americans I think you'd be correct. The Republican party decided to literally impede anything, right or wrong that President Obama did. Democrats changed some rules for lower court justices because Republicans refused to even vote against judges just to claim Obama was leaving seats vacant. That's not governance, that's plain impeding government from doing it's job by people who don't believe government should exist. You cannot have a functional government when people meant to govern it don't believe it should exist.
Seems like the crucial step here was being able to develop a systematic way to address every possible type of 'repulsive force' in a given dimension, which then allowed them to show that the given solution (for example E8 in dimension 8) optimally solved the packing problem for each possible force.

They talked about a few examples of the different repulsive forces that were characterised, but I wonder what they mean by all of those forces. It seems like there are an infinite way to parameterise a force between two points given a measure (by taking different functions of the distance between the points) but also an infinite way of choosing a measure.

In the article they say

> Viazovska, Cohn and their collaborators restricted their attention to the universe of repulsive forces. More specifically, they considered ones that are completely monotonic, meaning (among other things) that the repulsion is stronger when points are closer to each other. This broad family includes many of the forces most common in the physical world. It includes inverse power laws — such as Coulomb’s inverse square law for electrically charged particles — and Gaussians, the bell curves that capture the behavior of entities with many essentially independent repelling parts, such as long polymers. The sphere-packing problem sits at the outer edge of this universe: The requirement that the spheres not overlap translates into an infinitely strong repulsion when their center points are closer together than the diameter of the spheres.

So I guess that means that it doesn't really matter which kind of measure you use as long as the repulsive force is monotonic. The auxiliary functions they discuss probably incorporate however the measure and force are defined in a nice way, so that the method for constructing the optimal auxiliary function is agnostic towards them.

Reading more, in the linked paper's abstract [0], it seems they are only dealing with euclidean distance, and the auxiliary function is points on a sphere:

> We study configurations of points on the unit sphere that minimize potential energy for a broad class of potential functions (viewed as functions of the squared Euclidean distance between points). Call a configuration sharp if there are m distances between distinct points in it and it is a spherical (2m-1)-design. We prove that every sharp configuration minimizes potential energy for all completely monotonic potential functions. Examples include the minimal vectors of the E_8 and Leech lattices. We also prove the same result for the vertices of the 600-cell, which do not form a sharp configuration. For most known cases, we prove that they are the unique global minima for energy, as long as the potential function is strictly completely monotonic. For certain potential functions, some of these configurations were previously analyzed by Yudin, Kolushov, and Andreev; we build on their techniques. We also generalize our results to other compact two-point homogeneous spaces, and we conclude with an extension to Euclidean space.

Not 6 months ago, Elon Musk went on 60 Minutes and showed the world you can drive a Tesla hands free. A bunch of disclaimers does not make that OK. In the real world, people more or less ignore the fine print.

I found in practice that arbitrary recursion depth is (even on languages with formal recursive grammar) very rarely needed. And where it's needed it can probably be implemented as a primitive in the language (map total function over all the nodes) that can do a similar thing.
Medium will often pop up when I search for something programming-related, but I'm less likely to find someone's blog post. What if we had a search engine that would only show programmer/technical blog posts? Then we could bring more traffic to the self-published.
From any remotely objective view-point, a policy that chooses to add a hidden adversity score based on poverty, single-parenting and perceived hardship to a test that is designed as a measure of your scholastic ability is most certainly denigrating to folks who have chosen to lift themselves out of that adversity through experience of great adversity!

A policy that gives 5K to low-income families to allow their children to compete effectively on the SAT is not denigrating.

I firmly believe that if you pose this question to the world, a near complete majority of people will rule the latter is fair, the former is not. There is no arbitrary pick of an observation point here. These are two completely different policies.

And the first sentence is strange. If equal opportunity versus equal outcome is a merely a matter of perspective, then you can draw your lines even further! After all, whatever effects poverty and weaker education had on students in their ability to perform on the SAT certainly won’t have disappeared once they stroll across the campus green!

You can contribute the hidden adversity scores to course grades, contribute it to graduate honors, contribute it further to employment opportunity and promotion. You can draw your line at retirement and benefits if equal opportunity vs equal outcome is merely a matter of perspective.

What other cryptocurrencies are trying to solve is making transactions anonymous and hidden by default. You can hide your identity and tumble your coins to achieve both in bitcoin if you know what you are doing. But there are plenty of stories of people who did not know how to use Bitcoin in an anonymous way and investigators were able to track transactions.

> That’s an ironic comparison. Japan is not allowed to have a military, just a small self defense force.

That's kind of my point. Japan just has a small self defense force and has instead focused its energies on education and infrastructure. Whether that is by choice or not is irrelevant.

On the other hand, it was definitely a choice by the US to spend our money on military involvement in places like Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria instead of using it on schools and trains.

> Japan is okay with that state of affairs because the United States has tacitly committed to defend Japan from its belligerent neighbors. Your example illustrates in the same breath why US military spending is so high while it is so low in other countries.

Yes, I understand the reason the US has such a big military budget is because we insist on stationing submarines, aircraft carriers, and ground troops in every corner of the world to "keep the peace."

My argument is that doing so is a catastrophic misallocation of resources.

> Also, the new bullet train lines mostly are built with private money so there is that too.

The Shinkansen was mostly built by private companies, mainly JNR, but public money played a huge role. JNR racked up nearly $300 billion in today's USD of debt, and that debt was taken on by the government when JNR was disbanded and reorganized (again by the government). I don't think the railways in Japan can be thought of as being completely privatized or completely nationalized. Even when officially managed by private companies, the government continues to play a role in planning and funding.

"immediately removed his hands from the wheel."

Tesla keeps saying this, but as far as i know, they can't actually detect that (because it's a torque sensor and can only whether they are moving the wheel).

Does anyone have different info?

You can even find plenty of reports that even light touching of the wheel causing it to issue warnings that hands are not on the wheel.

They never have let one of the lawsuits get past discovery (AFAIK) before settling, and this would almost certainly come out there if true.

Huh? This discussion is about GI issues, not weight gain/loss. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that GI issues are about energy in vs energy out.

There is a moderately well supported theory that most "gluten intolerance" issues are actually intolerance of FODMAPs: certain fermentable sugars and short-chain starches found in a wide range of foods, most notably wheat. If you remove gluten from diet, you have likely also significantly reduced your FODMAP consumption. But gluten itself isn't a FODMAP, and I once baked an experimantal loaf of low-FODMAP bread using spelt flour and vital wheat gluten. (It wasn't very good.)

You should look at things from the perspective of someone not familiar with Telsa's product line. Sure, if you own or interact with Telsas, the feature set of autopilot vs FSD is clear.

But, if you're a newbie, you just Googled "tesla autopilot" and clicked on the first result. You see that tesla has the "future of driving" - that must be autopilot, right? You scroll down and watch the video. There's a notice that people are optional and a guy being driven around hands free.

The messaging is painfully there - autopilot does not require hands and the feature set of FSD vs autopilot is conflated in a very misleading way on that page in general. If you scroll down (albeit a heading that describes FSD), you see "The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat."

Tesla's autopilot landing page is clearly designed to mislead unsuspecting consumers into believing that autopilot is a self-driving capability.

One of the things I really like about Arch Linux is their policy of not making unrequired changes to upstream software. The only changes usually made are those necessary to keep the software compatible with the other software on a rolling release system, and these changes are usually temporary.

It's important to remember why you are involved in open source. If those circumstances change, you should ask why you continue to remain involved. As soon as you lack a satisfactory answer, it's your cue to stop.

Many large open source projects start out as a passion project or a solution to a specific problem that the original developers faced. Over time, other people face similar issues and rally around your solution and it is really easy to fall into the trap of bearing their burdens. This is a bad response. Other people using your open source offerings do not create any sort of obligation on your part to care or respond to their concerns.

If someone really cares enough, they will incentivize your continued effort (like money or other considerations). It is unfortunately cultural taboo to ask some of the more vocal critics to pay, but setting up that dialogue at least shuts down most of the comments.

IMHO the origin of most of these issues comes from the very thing that drives many people to open source in the first place: personal branding. If you remove your personal identity from the equation, it's a lot easier to "turn off notifications". Rants and criticisms are directed at this mystery character, not you personally. Since you are not personally tied to the project, working on open source feels like a distinct activity and is judged on its merits. You don't feel the same sense of obligations since you don't personally feel like you are disappointing the user base.

The first trailer crash wasn't just that it looked like a sign to the vision system. It's that the radar saw it and alerted, but the AEB was configured to do nothing unless both the radar and the vision system alerted. Since it was a white trailer against a bright sky, the vision system couldn't see it.

Tesla later pushed a software fix for the AEB to trigger even if only the radar alerted.

I read the study you linked and it did not say that the SAT was a poor measure of performance? What it did say was that in isolation, the SAT score was worse than GPA, but the overall best predictor was a combination of SAT and GPA.

I think this agrees with other studies about hiring, FWIW, where, as I understand, the best way to measure somebody's ability is a work-sample plus an IQ test. As someone who has been involved in hiring, we crudely approximate this by looking at work experience and how selective somebody's college education was.
If this score is to replace the current college admission weighting, wouldn’t it be logical for it to have the same opacity from the student ?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think students get to check their college admission evaluation results.

Stock variation doesn't really say much other than probably a degree of general confidence about how much profits companies can take.

How about actual corporate earnings? (Thereby normalizing for wacky p/e ratios?)

And what about bond yields? (Because bonds and stocks are the primary assets, valuations flow from one to the other)

Interest rates? (Because cheaper Fed rates entail easy money)

GDP? (Because that's a measure of the economy)

Housing prices? (Because that's a measure of consumer spending, i.e. 'the rest of us')

Housing starts? (A measure of business confidence in consumer)

Employment? (A good measure of overall health)

Inflation? (A variety of factors but it puts the others in perspective)

Instead of this 'stock prices' thing they should show us all that for perspective.
Why can you give them shit for calling it autopilot?

The only other context where we currently use "autopilot" is in aircraft, and Tesla autopilot demonstrates a significantly higher level of autonomy than the autopilot of your average aircraft.
I think it's a bit of a stretch to make any sort of conclusion based on your sampling of PhD students.
From Wikipedia's "Autopilot" page:

>In 1947 a US Air Force C-54 made a transatlantic flight, including takeoff and landing, completely under the control of an autopilot.

Airplane autopilots are already at the fully autonomous stage. They have the advantage of air traffic control removing obstacles from their path, but IMO this just means ATC is part of the autopilot system. An autopilot is something that gets you from point A to point B with no input from the pilot/driver, and if it's not capable of doing that reliably then it's not an autopilot.
