Then it's not an AI but just complicated if-statements; if it was more like a real AI then it would learn from the experience. The core premise of AI is that it's learning and improving all the time, not that it does the exact same thing every time.
Reminds me of what CroTeam did with The Talos Principle. They started with puzzles and wrote a story and a world. They had human players for testing in addition to an automated bot, and also many variants of the puzzles have been tried.

Much of the cost of the subway is the access caverns, life safety systems, etc. For example, NYC built a 2-mile water tunnel for $250M [1]. A subway tunnel costs in the ballpark of $500M-$3B per mile[2].

When I was pregnant (in Canada), I watched a series of videos about safe sleep and got a free Baby Box (Telus sponsored it): https://www.babyboxco.com/about/

Baby arrived 2 months early. When we brought him home 6 weeks later, I was amused by the contrast. Going from a fancy NICU bed to a cardboard box was a big change for him. He didn’t mind and slept in it for 5 months.
No, but you will if you drive significantly slower and obstruct traffic flow.

A middle ground might be found in licensing as open source the code that is needed to replicate any of your scientific findings. UCLA could keep proprietary the tooling required for commercial applications.
I do agree cashless huge is privacy invasion but also inequality issue.

Anecdote: My local trains have cashless ticket machines inside (machines on bus/trams are still cash/card). Every day I see people suprised and asking someone - "Can you buy a ticket for me with card and I give you 1,5€ in cash?".
And yet people still constantly champion WebP, VP9, AV1 or whatever Google pumps out for free.

Cannibalism That Came True
Being "more tangible" is an opinion, so i could just counter "non-argue" that i think these things are actually less tangible, we would now have ended-up nowhere since there is nothing more to add (tbh i actually have that opinion, which might be explained by what follows).

To add something which is not an opinion, i would say that these blockstack or actually Xcoin based whatever "dapp" (seriously, what is this vocabulary, these are brandings, marketing terms) have nothing to do with gnunet or secushare on the moral level, they are really different beasts with different goals, different contexts. Marketing vs science, social vs commercial, private vs libre... Really, if you're not seeing the objective difference here then you're not trying.

Who decides who should take away the guns, and how do you prevent them abusing that power?
I think Swizec's point is that the current pace, even accounting for those factors, is not reasonable. Let's not pretend those decisions have some sort of mathematically correct answer; how much to invest in public transit, for example, is a political choice that one can legitimately disagree with - and even find unreasonable.

Well that's hilarious. If the tax system in the US was truly progressive then it wouldn't have so many billionaires.
Rust optimizes async/await II: Program analysis
People are still releasing DOS games, intros and demos targeting old hardware, so to them even some of the specific techniques described in the book may be relevant. On a higher level the algorithms described may be useful in modern systems with simple frame buffers. On a yet higher level, the general attitude towards optimization and problem solving that the book promotes seems timeless to me.

I also think that there is always some value in understanding the past in order to make sense of what is relevant to you in the now and what will be in the future, so I don't fully agree that there is a historical-relevant dichotomy. If you have the time to spare you can dig into the details of e.g. WWI and come out of it with a better understanding of the current state of affairs.
Good question, but if there is no signal how could the previous driver have locked the car? Similar services I'm using don't let me end the rental if there is no signal, simply because either the car or the shop on my phone can't talk with the server.
I just don't see why that complexity is necessary, when you could just give the user the key to the car.

Basically. the biggest cost of building a tunnel is excavation cost and the cross sectional area of a tunnel is the biggest factor affecting excavation cost for any given ground condition.

Secondly once you add people you have to add emergency escape tunnels and related systems which is just more tunnel that needs digging.
> The only reason Slack caught on was businesses prior to that had AIM, Skype, or Hangouts at their disposal.

At least in the case of AIM, that’s not true, as aol switched to using slack from aim internally quite a bit before aim was decommissioned. Aim was absolute garbage for work communication and pretty much every team started using slack organically before the company bought an enterprise license.

Adding chat history and search was game changing.

Discussion of this article on the rust subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/czn3mx/how_rust_optim...
It’s a mobile app.
Why is it ridiculous? If you look at Transport for London as an example, the organization employs 25,000 people, of which 3,000 are train operators, with 600+ trains. The salary + indirect wage costs for those people is on the order of $250 million per year. Which I think is pretty cheap, compared to what you'd guesstimate for CAPEX and OPEX for an automated system.

Now they are actually in the process of automating the trains, which has been criticised by many as a vanity project. Certainly it has not been shown that it makes financial sense. And it has been decided that they will retain a "captain" aboard the train, for safety reasons, as someone has to lead passenger evacuation in case of an emergency. So the total salary savings will be essentially zero.

Fully level-4 automated may makes sense for new builds. But for retrofits, you can't satisfy the overall requirements without a human physically present.
Hmm... but if someone only actually need a car occasionally then there's a saving. Automation could enable car-sharing.
They are also not asked to be innovative. If the software industry decided to stick to one stack for the next few decades we would also get much better methodology and maturity. Instead we have this constant churn of new stuff where we never learn how to use our tools properly.
This is mentioned early on in the article

There are actual startups that are "pretending to be robots", so the title is off: This article is about legitimate remote-operations work, and it's a really great thing, not something to be ridiculed as the title makes it.

I had tongue tie until I was about 7 years old when my sister noticed something wasn't right. I was never breast fed so it didn't get picked up.

Review of Moneyland by Oliver Bullough (2018)
I also found this book quite useful:

"REMOTE shows both employers and employees how they can work together, remotely, from any desk, in any space, in any place, anytime, anywhere."
This is a heavily redacted, completely renamed and summarised version of a typical page data query. It's less complicated that the top three most common queries that run to build the most common pages.

SELECT
b.field, b.field, b.field,
group_concat(concat(y.field, useful_thing)) as useful_things
FROM (
SELECT t.field, f.field, w.field,
(case when w.wid is null then 0 else 1 end) as has_watched,
exists(select id from posts p where p.tid = t.tid and p.uid = :uid) as has_posted
FROM (
SELECT tid
DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY foo ORDER BY bar DESC) AS useful_pseudo_id
FROM editorial_things
WHERE thing = :thing
ORDER BY something
LIMIT number
) as a
INNER JOIN thread as t ON t.tid = a.tid AND t.last > Now()-INTERVAL 2 DAY
INNER JOIN forum as f ON f.fid = t.fid AND f.fid in (:security)
LEFT JOIN watched as w ON w.tid = t.tid AND w.uid = :uid
ORDER BY something
) as b
GROUP BY something;

The other thing is that being returned objects just adds complexity and handling. The language I use has a perfectly nice native, iterable data type for returned database records (kind of like an array of dictionaries) and I'd rather just use that instead of an object middleman to satisfy some kind of OOP completionist fantasy.

I haven't worked with Spark SQL specifically, but in my use case Presto returned results from simple queries much faster than Spark using EMR. For exploratory analysis, a quick turnaround is crucial.

I didn't realise that Postgres has ranges, thanks for that. But, even though I have a background as a pure mathematician, I strongly disagree that "[a, b) includes x" is any more explicit than "x >= a AND x < b". Given that those ranges aren't standard SQL and are much less commonly used than simple inequality operators, I'd stick with inequalities for clarity.

> The system works really well, and I've heard it be credited for the Netherlands' low infant mortality rate.

Do not agree. Netherlands has remarkably poor statistics when accounting for total incidents and outcome from the months before and after births. They have more than double the shit rate compared to other high quality healthcare western European countries. Anecdotally I've heard this attributed to the custom of having close to 30%(?) of births done at home, which is an outlier and increases risks of poor outcome when complications arise.

But parent's notes on assistance post natal is probably correct and a very good thing.
So what about Japan then? IIRC they have a pretty high suicide rate and no guns.
I can't believe that(but I will read any credible links if you have ), in the hearing case the people would turn off the device in the beginning when they feel overwhelmed, I assume that for the eyes you can cover them when you also get tired or if you are in a place with lot of visual information.
reminded movie - Pentagon Wars (1998)
Any responsible father takes two weeks off after the birth of a child. I'm glad it's mandatory now, but even before, it shouldn't have stopped any new father from spending those first two weeks with his family.

It's a very important period where you learn how to take care of the new baby, bond with it, and need to take care of your wife who quite likely is in no condition to do anything other than recover.
Some doubts about human-centered design
I have seen a lot of their presentations at 33C3. Its quite interesting ideas that I was quite interested in.

The problem with GNUnet in general that it seem very inaccessible to those outside of the university context. In their presentation they show that they did all these great test, but very little how I can run them, or achieve things with GNUnet. GNUnet is academic and has not yet found any real-world use case that I know off and thus suffers the problem of academic projects.

Overall they have a very interesting vision of what you can do, but its pretty far in the future and the website is a bit of nonsense. It took me a couple hours of listing to the craters to understand what they were really trying to do.
The problem is not necessarily high demand (although our birthrate has started to recover). Insurance premiums are killing the occupation: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/womens-blog/2017/no...

(We couldn't find one either.)
Free speech was explicitly mentioned as being protected, yet it has been curtailed in many ways. Constitutional protection is inherently limited, with a constantly shifting definition of what it entails.

Consider rifling was invented and society made a choice was that allowed? Yes. Various types of ammunition for example have failed this test. Explosives similarly evolved over time and have been curtailed even if people can significant amounts of black powder.
Apple even open sources their XNU kernel: https://opensource.apple.com/

There's some delay between when a new macOS version comes out and when sources get published, but it's great to see how they use the Mach kernel in practice.
You might have a point here.

I wish I hadn't read "Why we sleep"...
The whole point of constitutional rights is they can't be abridged without due process (and a good reason), even if it is especially convenient. I bet you appreciated this when Pres. Trump tried to pull all those shenanigans around birthright citizenship, and every one reminded him he'd actually need an amendment, and couldn't just "do" it.

If you want one thing protected because it's a constitutional right, you sort of have to support all of them. You can't really pick and chiose with respect to their sanctity. I've found it to be a good position because it annoys both the left and the right on a regular basis. In reigns in both sides a little, and I think that's a good thing.
Monetary Policy Is the Root Cause of the Millennials’ Struggle
Here in Norway we my wife and I stayed in a family room in the hospital "hotel" both times, but the last time I left the next day with our older daughter and my wife joined with the youngest a day later.

We both automatically get two weeks off work as a birth leave and option to have a "jordmor", what you would call a midwife in English, visit and help if needed. Then we had ten months of parental leave combined, I had four months and my wife had six.

One thing foreigners freak out over is that during the day we have the babies sleep outside in the strollers in winter. They're usually wrapped in wool materials and are very warm. Is this common elsewhere in Scandinavia? They sleep very well out in the cold :)
Fair enough. It looks like we use databases in rather different ways.
What you are saying is correct. But it also shows how dysfunctional a lot of management structures are. Not too long ago I had a few discussions with my VP and it was kind of shocking how little he knew about what’s going on at the ground level. The information he gets is quite distorted by all the levels of management in between.
> If everyone did that, the biggest problems would be solved

Any solution to a problem that starts 'If everyone did ...' is the deadest of expired ducks.

Global ecosystem collapse is a systems issue of vast complexity. While we need at a minimum to (1) take down capitalism and (2) explore social and 'economic' (scare quotes intended) alternatives, no-one really knows how to do these things. They're certainly far beyond my capacities to contemplate. This has little to do with 'fossil fuel companies'.
Maybe worth noting that Scotland has had baby boxes for a while now:

https://www.mygov.scot/baby-box/
Conquer your FOMO and accept that not everything has to be permanent. It's okay that stuff is sometimes lost, it hurts a little and then after a little while it doesn't matter.

I've lost my digital collections a number of times, and I just start over again.

I also regularly delete my old content/comments wherever I can.

Personal opinion, obviously.
We had a child in the US and the overall experience was pretty decent: there was a nurse who gave us some basic info (that's how you wrap it, that's how you wash it and you sleep it on the back) and a separate breastfeeding consultant.

Probably depends on the hospital.

As for the sleeping box, we just put our son on our bed where he slept happily for the first year.
Just wanted to point out that Scotland has a baby-box scheme inspired on the Finnish: https://www.mygov.scot/baby-box/ It was introduced after our wee one was born, though, so can't comment on the content, but friends seemed to be quite pleased with it.
You do, and any employer who won't allow it is being an ass and should get ignored. Your family and your baby is more important than your manager's power trip.

If they shatter, they are defective. You can contact Lego[0], mail them the broken piece and get a replacement, no questions asked. Bricks are designed to last a decade with normal play and shattering would be a severe safety risk.

They take this sort of thing very seriously.

>Man, in my extended family SMS text group, this comes up once every couple weeks. One of us will note they aren't getting a random message, or someone will send a video and the quality will be crap, and the iPhone users will all mention how if we all had iPhones, this wouldn't be a problem.

I don't understand why iMessages is so popular in US, and it is pretty much US and France ( SMS ) only AFAIK. It is like when the world was on ICQ, they had AIM. When the world moved to MSN, they still stuck to AIM.

And just like AIM, iMessages sucks. I tried it many times and the same problem persist. Some users in the group not getting message, message appeared not in timely order, sometimes random message from the past appear. Needs to Recreate group to solve user not getting message problem, which means all previous group messages are in different group. It is slow as compared to WhatsApp. Icons and Packs are far worst, it is as if Apple has never used WeChat, KakaoTalk, Line, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Telegram.

Then there is huge amount of SMS Notification and Receipt that gets muddles up in the list of conversation. It is a Giant pile of Mess.

Every year I read something about iMessages being popular ( in US ) and every year I tried with my group of friends. And the answer remain the same. And it is so god damn bad most of my friends now refuse to try it again.

Edit: And iMessages does't always Sync on my Mac.
You can get midwife care here in Canada, but it's something you sign up for, are not guaranteed to get, is more geared towards people seeking home or 'natural' births, varies in structure and quality from province to province, city to city, and like everything with our health care system is constantly under creeping threat from politicians of the right wing bent. In Ontario more funding was recently slashed, I believe.

That said we had the same midwife for both our children and she was amazing. Like family.

Didn't do chores for us though :-)
>red flag laws are temporary so in order to remove them all that is needed is the passage of time.

>If the gov't was going to put you in a camp because you were jewish or japanese or even muslim, wouldn't you want to have a gun?

Sure. But of course, the Second Amendment was a thing when the government from rounding up the Japanese, with popular support.

Hell, after 9/11 much of the gun-owning community would have supported rounding up all of the Muslims into camps. Currently, they don't seem to be too upset about the government aggressively rounding up immigrants.

I don't agree with the premise that government can never be trusted, but an armed mob always can. The world has plenty of democratic states which seem to function without an armed populace keeping them in check.

>I know it would make them think twice that's for sure.

It wouldn't stop them, though.
It's from 5 years ago, but I don't think much has changed since https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/aug/29/new-mot... was published.

I should add that, from what I've heard, same day discharges is much more common for the second (/third/etc) child compared to having a first.
