GPG is fine if properly configured and very carefully used.

The current defaults GPG presents aren't that safe anymore and everyone who wants to develop integration with GPG suffers extreme pain because for GPG therer is only the CLI Interface.

Modern E2EE-capable chat solutions are a good replacement, which are cryptographically stronger and don't have the same chances of blowing up as GPG does.

I don't think it's that much of a conspiracy there is a bit of time between those events, it's simply that in the latest years, people are advocating for security tools that prefer being resistant to misuse (GPG isn't) and safe by default (GPG isn't) over other tools.
I don't know the history of it and am not an expert in the field, but it seems to me that it's valid to call the things ML can already do "intelligence" in a generalized sense, and that there is nothing categorically different between that and human intelligence, it's just a matter of how complicated humans are.

That seems like a problem you can sort of throw hardware at for a while until it gets good enough to help you figure out how to make something smarter.
Thank you for sharing this. I think this is the most important thing I've been linked to in a long time.

This may be even more tangential, but I was really struck by how emphatic he is about pointing out his suffering, and how frustrated he is with other people that have his same injury minimizing the pain of living with it. I've seen that same discourse go on and on with people that suffer from my condition. Not "disabled" as such, but another issue that impacts your life in a large way and often needs medical intervention. Some people claiming that their condition doesn't limit them in any real way and shouldn't be considered a problem and in fact makes them stronger and others angry at them for even making claims like that when so much of our existence is this fundamental pain, and when medical intervention isn't always covered by insurance or researched as much as it could be. Then those first people mad at the second group for implying that everybody with this condition should feel limited, etc. I thought that the dialogue was unique but in retrospect all similar groups probably go through this to some extent for the reasons he pointed out.

Sure, and the iphone was the same thing - I had a 3G windows phone years before the iphone that essentially did all the same things. But the iphone was still a breakthrough nonetheless.
I am not impressed with this source code. Maybe you can tell my why i am wrong.

The safety.h you pointed to is using "int" for variable declaration instead of using stdints to control size. Is there are reason for that?

From safety.h, I tried to follow addr_allowed function parameters. I get here (https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/c025b96e8a15640ee4...) and see this:

int addr = GET_ADDR(to_send);
int bus = GET_BUS(to_send);

Where are GET_ADDR and GET_BUS macros declared? There are no header declaration to follow dependencies.

Yes, but that tended to happen in linear fashion. Whereas, after agriculture, growth could occur exponentially and then when a major multi-year drought would hit, you'd have huge devastating loss of life. The deaths of some H-G humans is not much different than the limits of growth modern predators hit today. Hunter-gatherer humans could also keep their numbers in check by breastfeeding longer (sometimes until their children were as old as 5), since breastfeeding delays ovulation. Agricultural societies, meanwhile, developed lactose tolerance for cow's milk, and could use that as a supplement for child nutrition. And women would spend more of their time on the work necessary to run a farm or home, which is more labor intensive than what nomadic H-G tribes did.
> has a section on their estimation methodology

>> 1.5 METHODOLOGY

>> Calculation of wildlife impacts

>> Given Australia’s megadiversity of species and our comparatively small human population and research base, the density (ie number of individuals in a given area) of relatively few species has been determined with precision. In addition, the number of different species, or species richness, occurring in a given area is not known in great detail for many habitats. Estimates of these values must necessarily be extrapolated from a relatively small number of detailed studies. Therefore the authors have deliberately employed highly conservative estimates in making their calculations. The true mortality is likely to be substantially higher than those estimated in this report.

The authors seem fairly straightforward in admitting that these numbers should be considered unreliable, so no criticism from me on that. However: does this (un)certainty attribute accompany (with appropriate emphasis) the data into subsequent news articles and social media conversations, and ultimately millions of human minds?

>> 2.3 HOW HAVE THESE NUMBERS BEEN ESTIMATED?

(No excerpt because I have nothing particular to highlight.)

Again, from a science perspective, I have no complaints about the study itself, but I do have complaints about how it is being used as the basis of broadcasting a manufactured version of reality into the public psyche, dressed up as reality itself.

Take the University of Sydney article itself...

Headline: "A statement about the 480 million animals killed in NSW bushfires since September"

Article content: "Professor Chris Dickman estimates that 480 million animals have been affected since bushfires in NSW started in September 2019. This statement explains how that figure was calculated. "

See the differences?

a) "killed" --> "affected"

b) "480 million animals [have been] [killed]" --> "it is [estimated that] 480 million animals have been [affected]"

And this is the University of Sydney article, an "authoritative" (able to be trusted as being accurate or true; reliable) institution. Now imagine the hyperbolic distortions of content and certainty that the MSM, Twitterverse, and Reddit hivemind layer on top of this, which is then consumed repeatedly by hundreds of millions of people who consider it to be factual reality. [0] [1]

So, is this a big problem? I have no idea. How would one even estimate the magnitude of risk involved in the general public walking around with (unnecessarily) inaccurate internal representations of reality in their heads? Again, I have no idea. But with human behavior getting stranger by the day, I have a feeling that widespread adamant opposition to even considering this very real aspect of reality may turn out to be not a wise approach. Time will tell I suppose, although it's completely possible no one ever sees this perspective even if it does ultimately result in negative outcomes.

> Mass transit is important in cities, but lots of Americans, probably most, live where cars are needed to get around.

Because the "probably most" part is not true. Although I admit that public transit is lacking in many cities in the country, a huge number of Americans live in areas that could support mass transit. I don't live in those places so I will reserve judgement and let them make their own choices. I already moved to a city, they can do what they want.

I'm not sure that's a fair comparison since the Federal level of prosecutions in the US is absolutely dominated by immigration cases (~70%) and drug cases (~10%)[1], which tend to be pretty open and shut in terms of preponderance of evidence. I don't have enough data to tell if the remaining 20% are really convicted at the same high rate or not.

Well, pretty much anything will run AutoCAD these days.
There are some really great designers on the list, like Sophie Wilson and Gordon Bell, but the list of admirable machines comes up really short — and missing a lot of really significant and admirable machines.

Maybe these are the machines bad computer architects, like Alpert, admire. Alpert is notable mostly for leading the computer industry's most expensive and embarrassing failure, the Itanic (formally known as the Itanium), despite the presence on his team of many of the world's best CPU designers, who had just come from designing the HP-PA --- a niche CPU architecture nevertheless so successful that HP's workstation competitors, such as NeXT, started using it. Earlier in his career he sunk the already-struggling 32000, the machine that by rights should have been the 68000. (And maybe if they'd funded GCC it could have been.)

What about the Tera MTA, with its massive hardware multithreading and its packet-switched RAM, which was gorgeous and prefigured significant features of the GPU explosion?

What about the DG Nova, with its bitslice ALU chips and horizontal-microcode instructions? What about the MuP21, with its radical on-chip dual circular stacks?

What about the HP 9100, with its dual stacks and PCB-inductance microcode, where the instruction set was the user interface?

What about the LGP-30, which managed to deliver a usable von Neumann computer with only 113 vacuum tubes (for amplification, inversion, and sequencing)?

What about the 26-bit ARM, with its conditional execution on every instruction, and packing the program status register into the program counter so it automatically gets restored by subroutine return, and, more importantly, interrupt return?

What about Thumb-2 with its unequaled code density?

What about the CM-1? Anyone can see that AVX-512 (or for that matter modern timing-attack-resistant AES implementations!) owe everything to the CM-1.

And the conspicuous omission of the Burroughs 5000 has already been noted by others.

I mean, there are some good designs on the list! But it hardly seems like a very comprehensive list of admirable designs.
Comma is bragging about 6 million miles drive. Tesla's Autopilot has over 2 billion miles driven. This has two cameras (EDIT: and apparently 1 radar that already exists in the vehicle). Tesla's has 12 cameras, 12 sonars, and 1 radar. This is backed by a company that apparently has received $8 million in funding. Autopilot is backed by a company with a market cap of $84 billion. You are welcome to your opinion of Tesla's product, but if that is garbage, I can't image the word you should use to describe this because the two products are in no way comparable.
As someone who's traveled, I totally agree with this.

I'm no architect but I loved the Cray-2. I took over an old datacenter that had one just sitting there and a sense of awe hit me every time I saw it. What cost 12M brand new and was a marvel of engineering (12x faster than Cray-1!) was just sitting there collecting dust. Crazy world this is. They eventually sold it to a collector I think.
It goes both ways. People are using the "180 arrested for starting fires" as a reason to discredit the impact of climate change on the current situation. Though it's conveniently ignored that only a fraction of those were starting actual forest fires (eg not a BBQ...), and there have been arsonists every year.. they're not a new phenomenon.
I think one of the most influential designs of recent times has been the DEC Alpha lineage of 64-bit RISC processors[1]. Originally introduced in 1992, with a superscalar design, branch prediction, instruction and data caches, register renaming, speculative execution, etc. My understanding is that when these came out, they were way ahead of any other CPU out there, both in terms of innovative design and performance.

Looking at this chip, it seems to me that almost all the innovations Intel brought to the Pentium lines of CPU over many years were basically reimplementing features pioneered by the DEC Alpha, just over a decade later, and bringing these innovations to consumer-grade CPUs.

We can, but usually it's the established encumbents who are helping draft the language of the legislation (which is better than politicians with no expertise working alone) and they are not incentived to encourage the kind of regulation you propose.
Non-Apple branded Bluetooth earphones (including AirPod knockoffs) are ubiquitous, and far outnumber wired earphones (in part thanks to Apple and many Android OEMs dropping headset jacks).

Do you mean they are ubiquitous with people using iPhones? Because here is Australia I would guesstimate that 80% of in-ear wireless earphone used with Apple devices are AirPods.

I think probably 50% of people I know who've bought an iPhone in the last year have bought AirPods at the same time (if they didn't already have them).

Over/On ear headphone are a different story, as is Android.
"as much as was desired"

We decided how much winning we wanted, and we did it. Unfortunately for the soldiers and the taxpayers, the politicians have a limited appetite for winning.

Vietnam is a fine example. We limited the amount of ammo! We didn't mine the harbor until very late in the war. The politicians ran the war as they desired, winning as much as they wanted to win.

In all those wars, the USA very obviously had the option for a quick and complete victory. It just wasn't done. Thank politics.
> Third, for almost all species, there are no density figures, so he just picked the number 10 (lol, yes, seriously).

This isn't a problem; most animals have a per-square-mile density higher than 10. The ones with lower density are the big, popular animals for which better statistics exist.

> Fourth, roughly 30% of those estimated animals are birds

And this is completely impossible. There aren't enough birds. How many were ants?
There is no way in principle. You could have code that sleeps for 1,000 years. I think there was a HN thread about that.
There's an easy rule of thumb ... is there an upward trajectory in the responsibility or stature of the roles, or are the moves mostly lateral?

A series of quick lateral moves - this obviously excludes freelancers and consultants who specialize in short term contracts - can be a sign of someone who stays just long enough to either show they're not great at the role and took off before they were let go, or otherwise has something else going on with them that you'd want to look into more. It could be perfectly understandable. It can often not be.
In NL, I see mainly AirPods. less wired. and some other wireless brands.
There are absolutely no square circles and there are absolutely no round squares.

Definition is identity, self-reflective.

Absolute truth must exist. If there was no such thing as absolutely truth then it is absolutely true that there is no absolute truth. In other words, a logical contradiction.
If you do O(N) work every time the hashmap is "full" and double the size of the hashmap, it's still O(N).

Hand-wavy proof:

If your last insert caused a rehash, then you have done O(N) work plus O(N/2) plus O(N/4)... the limit of which is equal to O(2N), and thus only a constant factor more.
I personally don't ever install globally either. But I do have './node_modules/.bin' in my PATH because well... I'm lazy.

If two packages try to install the same filename in that directory, I would want a full stop failure so that I can work it out myself. I'm honestly a bit surprised this isn't already the case.
I understand the sentiment, but O(n) vs O(1) and O(n^2) vs O(n log n) are huge jumps in complexity. Even with relatively small sizes like N=100, you're already starting with 2 orders of magnitude disadvantage.

The example in this post is a log N factor. log N is a relatively small growth, you'd need 1000 elements to get 1 order of magnitude and you'll never run into 2 orders of magnitude.

If you can come up with reasonable code where an order N complexity slower algorithm is faster in practice - I'd love to see it.
No, it's still O(N) amortized. Imagine if the hashmap doubles in capacity whenever it is full or hits its max load factor. Then you end up having O(N) copy operations. O(2 * N) = O(N)
I can think of many ways you could've phrased this without being downright aggressive.
Also it’s stated that the language/syntax part of Elixir is largely "done", which imho is awesome.

Yeah and that leaves huge chunks like tooling that aren't done or mature. When I walked away from Elixir and Phoenix it was right around when bitwalker abandoned distillery leaving the deployment story unsupported. Blech.
I’m not trying to denigrate you, but “real” products produced at moderate scale will source their own microcontrollers/microprocessors, have their own pcb design, and have the BOM cost-optimized.

A Raspberry Pi or Arduino is fine for early prototyping and hobbyists, but if you’re going to make a million of something then you aren’t going to stuff a Raspberry Pi in your product unless the ecosystem is one of your selling points. Otherwise, using a Raspberry Pi means that you’re paying for USB ports, Ethernet ports, WiFi, Bluetooth, led lights, header pins, and every other component on the board and your produce probably doesn’t need them all. Including a bunch of components that you aren’t using is just leaving profit on the table.
Yeah, I'm personally uninterested in spending money. But I could quite easily find things to do with money in the 10-100M range. First being starting companies without being beholden to investors that are monomaniacally focused on short-term cash extraction. Then investing in entrepreneurs who are up to good things in the world. And then supporting people who do useful things that don't pay well.
The item I put in quotes is very specific and not at all like what you quoted.
I've made large joins faster in MySQL by adding gratuitous order by to derived table queries, which lead to probing the index in the join in index order instead of a different, more random, order. The cost of the extra redundant sort was less than the cost of the random btree traversals.
Actually, I believe the default hash functions have terrible hash quality - they're literally the identity function for integers.

I do agree that unordered_map is extremely slow.
