They are called maps, because Wardley maps are visual and context specific, and represent position and movement. Reading any kind of map takes practice, but Wardley maps well worth the investment imo. Also mapping is an iterative process, maps should be continually challenged which is a lot of work, but the alternative is relying on stories and recipes of success which is not a great way to do business, especially once your competitors start mapping (if you’re wondering about the continued success of Amazon and Microsoft, they map).

For a soft intro, I recommend this talk by Simon Wardley: https://youtu.be/2IW9L1uNMCs

And then reading the first few chapters from his book: https://github.com/andrewharmellaw/wardley-maps-book

I also found this paid mapping course by Chris Daniel great to practice the basics: https://learn.leadingedgeforum.com/p/wardley-mapping (I have no affiliation with them)

Is that better or worse than unpaid intern for Medium? One advantage of email is that the writer owns the channel to readers. An email list can be moved to another mail service. A blog audience is subject to the whims of the blogging service and it can be costly to migrate content between blog publishers. Email is a robust standard that enables migration between service providers.

As far as I can tell, the strongest assumption around is that, because we can model some physical processes, we can model all physical processes.

We have some maths. We haven't solved all of physics. We don't even know if solving all of physics will help us model intelligence. We have no way to know whether, even if we had an accurate model of the function of the brain and of our intelligence, we would be able to run it as a program, and on an actual computer.

We know so little about what intelligence is and the dead certainty that, because we have maths, we should be able to reproduce it is just as unfounded as the opposite assumption, championed by the article.

Peter Weiss' Aesthetics of Resistance comes with another interesting read of Herakles, as a protector of the working class.

"For the past year, energy companies in the United States and oil and gas operators across North America discovered their networks had been examined by the same Russian hackers who successfully dismantled the safety systems in 2017 at Petro Rabigh, a Saudi petrochemical plant and oil refinery."

Why are these systems even connected to the internet?

Decades ago, creating such connections might have been a forgivable oversight, since the internet was a much more peaceful place, and the idea of cyberattacks might have seemed like paranoid science fiction.

Today such attacks are happening in front of our noses and these systems are still connected to the internet?

It really boggles the mind.

Disclaimer: My kid got accepted at Oberlin, but instead chose a large state university.

Our perception through the process of researching many colleges, was that the SLACs (small liberal arts colleges) tended to be relatively weak in subjects that tend to lead directly to employment, and that students in those subjects expected to attend graduate school by default. My kid expects to attend grad school, so that's one data point, but I also saw it when I was in grad school. A disproportionate number of my classmates were from SLACs, including myself.

It might not be too much of a stretch to say that the SLACs are feeders for graduate schools. Once you have a graduate degree, your choice of undergraduate college is water under the bridge, though the loans might not be.
Agreed. The first time I used LaTeX to write a few documents I spent less time learning it than formatting the 90-page Word document that eventually made me decide to check out LaTeX in the first place.

I never regretted it, nowadays I avoid Word when possible and go for org-mode documents mixed with LaTeX. That gives me all the features and control but with less typing.

Amazon may have some legal responsibilities to avoid the first scenario, but certainly not the second. The legal onus falls upon the resident to inform their guests of any recording devices. Nowhere that I can think of is it illegal to run a recording device in your own residence, or even to do so against the wishes of guests. It is only illegal (in some places) if done secretly. Amazon is well within reason to operate on the assumption that their customers are using their product only in legal ways.
In my experience, journals sometimes use old versions of packages, so you often don’t want to use the «modern way». Examples: lualatex is often not available, biblatex is not supported, etc

> is unlikely to be a real buyer, since real buyers are accustomed to the sales process.

Reasonable but as you are probably aware you are potentially leaving some sales on the table.

I'm the sole tech buyer for my entire company (SME) (because I'm the only techie on staff so it naturally fell to me) and I loathe "Contact us for pricing" enough that given two equal(ish) options I'll pick the one with the "Foo costs X"/"Bar costs Y" pricing.

Also heavy after sales contact (Dell are buggers for this) puts me right off as well, if I buy a product from someone I maybe want one email a quarter with similar products and that is it, if we are in the market for a new product I'll go do the research at that point and buy it.

My time is critical to me because I wear lots of hats and want to get the none-core part of my role done quickly and smoothly.

>> It has recently occured to me to ask why we have decided to try solve autonomous driving before solving any other seemingly easier robotics problems.

As far as I can tell, a few years ago, Google decided it was a good idea and then everyone else followed suit, because it's Google so they must be on to something.

Mind, there was earlier work on self-driving cars that was just as impressive as modern efforts, but you rarely hear about it.

>Can someone explain why the ES standard doesn't have something like this:

new Worker(function(params) {
... compute heavy stuff here ...
});

In 2015 I worked on a framework that functioned like this as a personal project. It was even context-aware and spun itself up differently depending on the environment it was in; workers and shared workers loaded the same .js file that the UI thread did. As such, it chose speed over memory use seeing that the code was effectively pre-loaded everywhere.

It was never completed, and the reasons for that were:

1. SharedArrayBuffer hadn't landed yet. Transfer cost of computable data between workers was high, and transferables had shortcomings of their own.

2. Closures were disallowed, and AST transformations were one possible solution. It seemed like a very bad idea to go down that road.

3. Back then the differences in API behavior between even Chrome and Firefox were terrible to deal with. The APIs were heavily neglected across the board.

These days, I don't see the need. If you need the performance, WASM is a better choice anyways and depending on what you're doing it can use SharedArrayBuffer much more efficiently via way of something like pthreads.

It's not a HIPPA violation because they give the information to one of their "partners", and you agree to this in all the crap that gets signed.

I went to a Norton Hospital Immediate Care Center and paid cash because I didn't have insurance at the time. Because I paid cash, Norton turned all of my contact information over to a company that sells health insurance and gives loans to pay for medical services. They bugged the everlovin' shit out of me with automated phone calls until I decided enough is enough.

The Immediate Care Center denied giving any information out and were shocked this was happening, but Norton central billing knew about it, said they would remove me, but the 3rd party already had my info so it was too late.

The 3rd party were complete assholes, and when I got fired up because I wouldn't give them even MORE personal info to be removed from their call list, they said it was my fault: if I had just called them back and given them the 15-digit code, an agent would have removed me. That's also a lie, because I eventually did try that.

To protect my privacy, I told Norton my phone number had changed, and my new number was 812-555-1212, which is the 812 area code directory assistance number.

They did the same thing to my sister when she paid with cash because her husband had just changed jobs and she didn't have the new insurance info yet.

HIPPA is a joke.
The Tech Behind Successful Indie Games
There are points in mechanical history where you have a real problem taking the next step. The classic is "who made the first tongs?" You need a handling tool that will survive fire to do blacksmithing. How was the first one made? It's ascribed to God in some Jewish text and to Thor in some Viking legend. Probably someone used chipped rocks as handling tools.

Another bootstrapping problem is making a precise screw thread without another screw, as in a lathe, to use as a reference. This was solved by Maudsley, who invented the "screw originating machine".[1]

The sequence for bootstrapping machine tools from a very low level is well known, because hobbyists sometimes build their own machine tools and need to take upward steps. Hammer, anvil, forge, lathe, better lathe, better lathe, good lathe, planer, bigger planer, drill press, better drill press, milling machine, better milling machine, good milling machine. There's a set of books on this intended for a post nuclear disaster. (It assumes you have aluminum scrap around.) Electronics is tougher to cold start.

We never released our CAD netlist data to them and honestly I don't think they'd know what to do with it if we had. Ymmv since this is an old data point.

In that case, what do you base your assumption (3) on?
I claim such a solution would be morally wrong (I am not going to comment on whether such a solution would be good in practice or not) because latex largely throws away the data it has on the table structure and this solution tries to piece it together again. I claim a morally better solution is to have latex not throw away the information it had, but I concede it’s often harder to modify something big and old and complex than to produce something new which is supposed to always work.
A few years ago, I decided I would learn how to memorize a deck of cards in a single pass through a shuffled deck. I was surprised to find that it wasn't too difficult. Googling will reveal a few instructional web pages or you tube videos. E.g. see [0].

First, I created a list of letters associated with the numbers 1-13 and suits. There are two commonly used methods for this. I had already used the Major System[1] when I first read about it many years before (1963) in an old 1957 Scientific American. The Major Method worked well and I could recall around 50 random items in order or reverse order or call out the 37 item and so forth.

I decided to try a newer system, the Dominic System[2] for memorizing cards. The Dominic System associates a person with each number, in this case a person was associated with each card. This is done by using the following mapping:

0 - O (letter O) Ten in a deck of cards
1 - A (the ace)
2 - B
3 - C
4 - D
5 - E
6 - S
7 - G
8 - H
9 - N

Along with three more letters for Jack, Queen, and King. Using this mapping, a three of hearts (3H) would be represented by some celebrity, cartoon character, fictional character, or friend with the initials CH. In this case Captain Hook of Peter Pan.

With a few hours of practice, I could easily visualize Captain Hook whenever I turned over a 3 of Hearts; likewise, every card had an associated person.

Then I memorized 52 locations that I would remember easily. I used my home. Starting at the mailbox at the street I had a list of 10 spots: Mail box, Driveway, Guest parking spot, Parking outside of garage, Parking in garage, at the back door, inside the back door, laundry room, back stairs, kitchen door. Likewise, I had four other sequences of locations in my house and yard each 10 long and a couple more to make 52 locations.

I could then go through a shuffled deck of cards and if the three of hearts came up as the fifth card in the deck I would simply think of Captain Hook inside the garage (doing something dramatic, like putting his hook through the hood of my car). As each card was turned up, I pictured the character in the location doing something memorable. Then, a friend of mine might say "What was the location of the eight of spades? This card has initials HS == Homer Simpson so I would think of where I pictured Homer Simpson and realize that he was in my bed upstairs which was location 36 in my list of memorized locations so the eight of spades was in location 36.

It's a pretty impressive trick and it can be combined with card magic tricks without too much difficulty. For example, cutting a deck doesn't change the relative order of the cards to each other.

>Inserting figures or tables in word can be one of the most frustrating tasks I can do. Every little change can potentially break the format. Have you ever tried to add a table in word in a double column document? It is madness. The caption system for figures and tables is a joke, too.
