It's a fairly high level of automation. One step below total automation. That is, the system controls all aspects of driving, but there are still situations where it will ask the human driver to take over. However, even if the human doesn't actually take over, the system can still handle it. It's basically capable of dealing with an odd situation, but it's not confident about it.
I don’t see how this analogy holds. Gravitation is a physical effect, of course it can’t be produced by software; feelings are not.
Though, it probably never reaches even remotely full capacity except in rare events like seizures or when jumping into cold water. Also, there is a fair amount of redundancy in neural information processing due to the noisy computation substrate. I would not be surprised if the channel capacity is something like 100 Mb/s, but transmission rates are less than 10 Mb/s most of the time.
For an in-memory graph representation, you can have a look at Redis Graph https://oss.redislabs.com/redisgraph/
there is a number of factors to consider when comparing this kind of technologies.

Linux containers provide native performance for almost all applications, true; but there are tons of implications when it comes to multi-tenancy (security, QoS, trusted execution etc.).

Moreover, spawning an application as a docker container can incur significant overhead on startup time, fs setup, FS access etc.

So in theory yes, containers provide native performance. But do we really want to run apps on multi-tenant edge devices as containers ? I would argue not necessarily ;)
You can log 802.11 probe request packets. That will give you information about most phones nearby even if they don't connect to your network.

Very useful in case of a theft. You can get a list of WiFi access points the thief normally connects to, which can give you clues where they live or work.

Legality of such logging is dubious. The packets were technically sent directed to everyone nearby, unencrypted, with the intent that your router would receive them. But the information they contain is typically pretty private, and it's unlikely the human sender knows they are sending you this info, let alone that you are storing it.
But if we need from 8 to 16 weeks of batteries storage for long duration seasonal energy storage, this is not going to work out.

Sony is NOT like that.

For example their phones have extremely complicated DRM that makes everything slower (and reserves tons of memory and even affects things like camera) because of their movie and music business.
Not so attractive once you need medical attention, which most people will at some point. Also, lots of hard work.

A thing to think about: often there are many different graphs you can create to represent the same thing. Each graph representation can focus on or hide different aspects of the real system.

Why are you trying to model the building as a graph? What are the use cases? What operations do you want this data structure to be able to perform efficiently?

It might turn out that a single graph (or any graph) is not the most effective way of modelling an approximation of the real system.

How many nodes and edges will your graphs typically have? python & networkx work okay for bashing out prototype code and may be good enough for MVP or even a large number of releases if your data size is small and the operations you perform on the graph are linear in the graph size (e.g. connectivity checks, traversals)

I've also seen C/C++ codebases get pretty far by rolling their own domain specific graph data structures-- eg define your own node and edge struct types, give each node and edge pointers to the edges/nodes they connect to, hack domain specific fields as necessary onto the structs. Then just implement each graph algorithm as you need it. This may end up in an unmaintainable mess after a few years, but I've seen this work well enough so that the product based on this is worth enough money that there's enough cash to hire software engineers to come clean things up!

Another thing to think about: are your graphs dynamic or static? If they are large and static, there's lots in common between graphs and sparse matrices. You can encode your graphs in memory in CSR or CSC like sparse matrix formats-- no objects, just giant arrays full of indices. This isn't a good idea if your want to dynamically add or remove nodes and edges, but it is memory efficient.

Don't get me wrong, if they pull this off I'll be cheering them on.

The ones actually launched (e-tron only I think?) have been disappointing. The e-tron has a huge 90kwh battery and only 205 miles of range. People can make excuses for it but the reality is that is an engineering failure.

All the other MEB models that are supposed to be coming soon - all we've got is jazzy names and concept car mock ups. Yet to see production car, price or specs on any of those.

Perhaps they have some technical advance up their sleeves. But imho the chances are this big new MEB platform is 75% pr puff. There's a good chance that the things their going to actually launch will be on par with the 2016 Nissan Leaf. That's what just happened with BMWs electric Mini.

So let's talk when they announce actual dates, prices and specs. For now I'm skeptical.

Its one of betraying context. The garbage collector may see the interaction purely in a social, local context. While the author might as well put him up for the whole world to see.
Which can come back to the garbage collector in good or unexpected ways, but also in bad ways.
The local elite may feel embarassed about the existence of the garbage collector (they certainly do feel that way about Cairo) and put him away in jail, just for that embarassment- or as long as the story spotlight shines on this life, ban garbage collection (china effect) which makes life hard for the guy.

On the other hand- in a police state, somebody like this very likely works for the roots of the secret service. So shine your light on.
From the page you linked:

> The better we could communicate on a mass scale, the more our species began to function like a single organism, with humanity’s collective knowledge tower as its brain and each individual human brain like a nerve or a muscle fiber in its body. With the era of mass communication upon us, the collective human organism—the Human Colossus—rose into existence.

I like thinking about us this way too, as being both individuals but at the same time also forming a sorts of organism together.

What originally got me thinking about us this way was something that Sun Tzu wrote in his book The Art of War.

I think this might be the part of that book that made me think of it like this:

> The skillful tactician may be likened to the shuai-jan. Now the shuai-jan is a snake that is found in the ChUng mountains. Strike at its head, and you will be attacked by its tail; strike at its tail, and you will be attacked by its head; strike at its middle, and you will be attacked by head and tail both.

> Asked if an army can be made to imitate the shuai-jan, I should answer, Yes. For the men of Wu and the men of Yueh are enemies; yet if they are crossing a river in the same boat and are caught by a storm, they will come to each other's assistance just as the left hand helps the right.

ArangoDB is fine, but dgraph [0] can scale easily to that size (we have order of magnitude larger graph). In reality, you can use any resilient key/value store and use hexastore [1] as a storage format.

Exactly. The text you quote is PR-messaging to cover up the major downside that these aren't rechargeable - they have to be swapped out. So they're not really a competitor for Lithium rechargeables; they're a competitor for Duracell gold-tops.

(Interestingly, I recall that Tesla originally planned to offer battwry-swap stations, and even demonstrated over. Not sure why they dropped the plan - presume either logistics, or they developed their battery technology to allow charging more quickly than they'd originally thought possible?)

I would invite everyone here to get into fishing. It's an amazing sport and pastime.

I'm reminded of a monologue (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5zShnoU5GY) by an Italian actor. It's called, The Story of a Broken Man. This is my, more or less literal, translation.

This is the story of a man broken by power, commitments, and responsibilities.

I've been thinking about how many years it has been since I've last gone fishing.

I used to love fishing so much, but I don't go anymore.

Perhaps, I had more important things to do, even though right now I couldn't tell you which.

I haven't been back.

We always have more important things to do that don't make us feel better,
as if feeling better wasn't important enough.

When I used to fish, I was so excited that I would wake up before the alarm went off.
Actually, I was the one waking up the alarm. Wake uuup!

And you're there fishing and you are alone, and if you're alone, you'll be at one with yourself,
you don't think about anything else anymore.
You don't think about having to pay the mortgage, or about the current war.
You don't think about having to pay the mortgage to fund the current war.

You hear a gentle, polite voice
A voice we've all heard at least once in our life; a voice from within that tells you...
hey, hey...
You're so lucky!
I'm so lucky... I'm so lucky!

To me, fishing is like washing, a baptism.
The water of the river, if you let it work, will take away all your thoughts
and perhaps even all your sins.
Including the original sin which is the one that pisses me off the most, pure judicial harassment.

The water of the river, if you let it work, will wash away all your thoughts
and perhaps even all your sins and put you back into the world anew,
it fixes everything for you.

And so I thought, let's give a fishing rod to all these people who are paralyzed by power.
Let's give them the possibility to be alone with themselves,
let's help them forget that they're irreplaceable.
It will help them. It will help us.

Fishing might seem a small and trivial thing, but it's a return to simple things,
to the fundamentals we are losing.

Well, fishing gave me a great chance to hear that polite voice,
that gentle voice, that voice that tells you...

Hey, you're so lucky!

I'm so lucky, I'm so lucky!
We're so lucky, we are so lucky!

But...

But every time I hear that voice I'm a little ashamed and I'm almost embarrassed.
So then I thought, we must be really messed up if we are ashamed of feeling good.

Maybe this is why I'm broken, perhaps this is why I don't go fishing,
because I'm afraid of realizing that if I want...
if I really want...
I can feel good.
Except that this was with politics and America first politics involved.

How was this collected?

The twitter thread seems to suggest that current couples were asked what year they met and how they met, and the chart was filled out from there. If so, isn’t there some strong survivorship bias to these data, i.e., there’s a preference for longer lasting couples having met certain ways?
Yea, but it doesn't really work because you cannot block on the application level.

You can only block hostnames/ip-addresses, and these often change with updates, so you'd have to constantly monitor and block new hosts after the app starts leaking again.
It does give them the right to exclude them. The problem is that others will see that and be less willing to write software based on your API. If this is a pervasive thing in the industry then everyone will only want to roll their own services.

There's no likelihood of batteries scaling to certain uses, such as large long-distance air transport, or marine shipping. Most trucking as well.

We either stop using those transport modes, or revert to prior forms (wind), or wire-based electrical systems (rail, canals, trucks).

I dunno where in business software it might work, but my experience is that quality is often almost irrelevant. A few weeks ago I got myself unpopular for finding and reporting a serious bug. That could have been picked up through a little knowledge or some straightforward testing, but it wasn't because that didn't happen (there's a little more to it than that, but you see my point). If producing crap is acceptable, there's no room for formal methods. I've had a lot of experience of this.

If you can't get the boss's buy-in for even obvious correctness and/or timesaving approaches (where time spent = salaries paid), I'm stuffed.

Or maybe the problem's partly me. I can't rule that out. I'm not the most politic person.

> If [formal methods] was easy and full of low hanging fruit...

It isn't and I don't expect it to be. The fruit is right at the top, but it may be the best quality. I'm ok putting in the work to reach that.

> Places with affordable housing is a synonym for rural areas without government services (or drug dealers).

I may be misreading this, but it sounds like you're saying rural areas don't have drug dealers? If so, that's patently false. Rural substance abuse rates are generally within 5% of urban abuse rates. They certainly aren't picking up that meth from the local grocery story.
I'm pretty sure it would still function. If nothing else they aren't a drag on societal resources anymore. If society is so useful, it should only be better off when people leave for the greener pastures or Siberian tundra.

My main issue is not with societal contract. It's with the notion that we're somehow "free" when we're most certainly not free. Stop paying the state and men with guns will show up on your door step and take your shit. That doesn't sound like freedom to me.
Depends on latitude I guess? In Berlin at the peak of summer sunset is around 10pm.
If it was well simulated, yes it would produce simulated gravity. Why should there be any expectation that the simulated reality affect the non simulated reality? If you start down that path then you might conclude that no other person has feelings if it doesn't affect you.
No it doesn't rely on symbols.

You have a piece of copper and circuitry between your house and your ISP. Back in the day, there was no digital processing. It's just copper, amplifiers, filters, and mechanical switches. Why did dial-up internet never exceed (within a factor of 2) 30 kbps? Because that's the bandwidth of the channel. It's not that modem designers missed a more complicated, neuronal, way to encode the information.

It's really amazing that information and bandwidth can be as fundamental as temperature and mass. There's nothing symbolic about it in that lens. Symbols only come in because we know how to do important computations in the digital domain.

Analog television, FM radio, telegraph lines, telephone lines, smoke signals, the human vocal tract, all of them have bandwidths.

That’s incredibly cool. I see they’re using an audio variometer to determine sink/updraft lift as well as using the solar-powered motor during cruise, and operate it as a glider during landing. Assuming they could fly it as a glider as well, although I don’t know how its low-speed performance is wrt. thermalling or stall characteristics.
Yes. Not indefinitely of course but we've seen nothing yet and there's enough in the research pipeline to suggest clear trends over the next two decades in terms of cost improvements, efficiency improvements, cheaper materials, etc. That 4% you mention was less than 1% not so long ago and will be closer to 40% not too long from now. Such is the nature of exponentials.

IMHO 5X cost reduction is basically a done deal even just applying simple economies of scale. You can argue whether this happens in five or ten years maybe but arguing it isn't happening seems futile. Beyond that, 10x is extremely likely to happen as well. There's a lot of research happening that would need to be a complete failure/waste of time for that to not happen. At worst it will happen slower that I might like. Maybe this happens over the next decade. Or two. Or three even. From there, 20x might be quite possible as well.

Beyond that we're indeed talking rapidly diminishing returns. 10X would mean 0.2 cent/kwh. 20x would cut that to about 0.1 cent. This indeed gets you in to territory where metering it becomes more expensive than is worth the trouble. The average household uses about 15000 kwh per year, or about 150$ worth of energy at these prices; much less outside the US. Much of that is going to be produced on people's roofs or in their back yards. At that point it turns into a fixed cost.

Historically the same sources producing the studies you are referencing have been off by magnitudes predicting current adoption and prices for both solar and wind. So, I'd consider that the pessimist glass half empty point of view. Not to dismiss it entirely but arguing cost increases seems a bit far fetched in light of current trends in the market.
Renewables have the problem that the larger the portion of your power that's generated through these renewables, the exponentially more storage you need. It's not a linear relationship, because you can have weather that doesn't cooperate for long periods of time, but the power can't go out.

Another issue is that solar and wind aren't really suitable everywhere. The further north you go the less economical solar becomes. A large chunk of Europe sits further north than the US.

> those with private extensions must resort to compiling their own browser

I certainly would never recommend such a thing, myself. If I were paranoid about 3rd party access to my extension to the point I felt I needed to compile by own browser, then one thing I'd certainly do is also disable addons and build mine right into the core product...

I'd certainly trust Mozilla far more than I can trust every addon out there that might coexist with my private addon, which is where most of the attack surface would come from (if such were my threat model).

My main issue with e-cigs is that they are heavily marketed to kids, for example with young sponsored influencers doing smoke tricks and other shit.

Thanks to e-cigs, teen cigarette (not e-cig) smoking has started increasing after decreasing for years. Teens that would have never started smoking are introduced to it with e-cigs.

I don't know how these 2 phenomenons balance out. Does the number of cigarette smokers moving to e-cigs counterbalance the number of younger people starting to smoke cigarettes because of it ?

In all cases, I have no issue with more studies on the direct impact on e-cigs themselves.
