> Data analysis is as old as censuses of the tax collectors of antiquity — it’s as old as the Book of Numbers! — and it is unquestionably useful. But the idea that we should “treasure what we measure” and a reliance on unaccountable black boxes to tell us what we want and how to get it, has delivered to us automated systems of reaction and retreat in the guise of rationalism and progress. The question of what the technology does is important, but far more important is who it is doing it for and who it is doing it to.

Not only is face recognition hard, it is almost impossible to accomplish in a factory floor like setting. Not totally impossible but it is really really hard. Face detection is still possible but face recognition is far more computationally expensive. You'll need a shit ton of data and you'll need access to the employee database. You'll need a whole new engineering pipeline to make this happen and of course a team.

Compared to that expense and time, you are way better off getting the company to approve special vests for supes.

Aren't fruits/veggies good because of fiber? It's usually pretty hard to find fiber with fats, but those tend to be the best bang/calorie in terms of satiety, at just from reports I've read.

I always buy full fat everything when available (yogurt, milk, cheese, etc), rarely cut out fat from meats, and use plenty of healthy fats in cooking (olive oil, avocado), and bring overweight isn't something I worry about for myself or my kids.

In general though, if you need to choose between more fat it more carbs, you're usually better off with fat, unless those carbs are high in fiber.

"I feel so strongly that WebRTC/P2P is the future I want to see."

This sounds like it'd bring back the good ol' DDoS days where cable modem users could just knock dial-up users offline with a simple packet flood, or ACK flood, or SYN attack, because the IP address was known. Especially since WebRTC has a nasty habit of leaking IPs when (easily) misconfigured, so much so that VPN services have dedicated WebRTC services to check if you're leaking out your IP due to such easy chance of misconfiguration.

Interesting take on mobile dev frameworks but unfort. with some flaws:

- OP compared dev time but he is more experienced in Flutter, not expressive

- Xamarin Forms is included, not sure if anyone really uses it anymore

- Left out new Iconic React which allows 100% same codebase on all platforms

- OP didn't mention that Flutter has no production-ready web version or at least he could have looked into the beta

However, nice that he took the time to give some basic infos.
Unlike most other petrostates, Norway has had the sense not to get high on their own supply - higher fuel taxes than their neighbors, stashing the oil revenues in a permanent fund, and taxing the heck out of their high salaries to pay for government spending.

When the oil runs out, they’ll still have their (currently) 1 Trillion dollar permanent fund to cushion the blow.
> 6. To combat deepfakes, public ledger-based verification of photos and videos will become common but not ubiquitous. May or may not be on blockchain.

Even if you somehow managed to implement this all the way to the camera level, all this does is add more trust to already-reputable journalists. Deep-fakes may become good enough to trick even those journalists, but fact-checking will still eliminate most accidental false reporting for this purpose.

Fake news funded by various shady entities already does and will continue to misinform the public wherever it is profitable for them to do so. No doubt they will latch on to deep-fakes at every opportunity for the outrage clicks.

The movement to regulate tech may solve this, but it has little momentum. It's a common talking point for democratic candidates currently but only because it's becoming popular among their younger base. "Big-idea" solutions such as breaking up Facebook, regulating political online advertising similarly to TV, etc. may become popular, and even implemented. But I doubt they will actually work properly due to compromises and insane levels of nuance surrounding the technical implementations of these regulations.

Maybe "fake news" gets addressed in 2040, but I believe it will get much worse before it gets better.

The only thing that a 3rd+ engine helps with in this context is uncorrelated engine failures. (Correlated ones - like "oops we used the wrong fuel units" or "that volcanic ash cloud sure is pretty" - are the same for two engines as they are for 4)

These failures are really, really rare. A very conservative approximation would be one in 100,000 flights. (That would be once every other day in the US, for reference. Like I said, conservative) That means you'll have both engines fail randomly every 100,000,000,000 flights, which frankly no one cares about.

Carrying around an extra engine for the 1 in 100+ Billion situation it'll be useful isn't a good idea. It'll probably kill more people than it saves, for that matter - how many extra compressor disks will be thrown into cabins because of that?

Doesn't the fact that the twin-engine planes have to submit to more stringent ETOPS requirements mean the FAA believes they're less reliable than four engine planes?
Yeah my E39 doesn't have any sort of heater and it came from BC. I've not seen anywhere to plug a block heater in though BMW did sell auxiliary coolant heaters (from Webasto). Of course if I lived in a climate where block heaters were required a BMW wouldn't be my first choice. The heated seats and steering wheel come in handy more than I thought they would tho.

I know Orchid[0]! Me and another Pion developer were just talking about, we both are really impressed. WebRTC is such an amazing technology that it can enable stuff like this (and it was never planned). We were trying to scheme a way to convince you to use Pion :p

> I am very curious to understand better how this stacks up against the usual C++ WebRTC implementation when code size isn't an issue,

I am biased, but I think if you only care about DataChannels they should be pretty equivalent! Both libraries use libusrsctp/OpenSSL for all the heavy lifting, so that should be the same. They do have different ICE implementations though, so that is probably going to be the first place you will hit issues. I encourage you to try it out though. If you hit any bugs/have any questions I would love to help!

> as just about everything can be subclassed and replaced

Oh interesting. I think you are right, this library wasn't really designed to be inherited/mutated. We do provide a struct with non-standard settings you can flip, so maybe we can add the things you need in there?

> I bet this isn't going to support Windows?

I plan on supporting it! I don't have access to a Windows machine, but I hope I can just put it in travis and never touch it again :)

Except this ignores that the motivation was not increased safety but money. It does seem true that twin-engine planes can be quite safe but if Boeing/Airbus were motivated to create the safest possible plane, it would probably have four engines.

I doubt the US President will be flying on a twin-engine plane any time soon. They'll choose the safest (American made) option. Probably an updated 747 model, no?

That will be hard part As far I as recall, this is not something you can easily do with common consumer hardware. Real GPU virtualization is not possible on classic GPUs, and workaround methods are a bit hacky.

>are the Vim9 benchmarks not underwhelming compared to Lua or did I miss something?

Apparently that's the case, Bram did not compare against LuaJIT making the benchmarks pointless. They would quickly point out that Vimscript 2 also is, if this Reddit comment thread is to be believed: https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/ejfn57/vim9/fcxi99k/ where justinmk is one of the Neovim core devs.

As an end user, Vim feels (IMO) like a dead-end. It's cool that Bram has started trying new things but he comes off as too protective of his creation, which is fine, but then it's normal for the community to move as well.
API's exposed is a user defined requirement. Most optimal is also user defined.

Whenever something is "user defined" that means you make it up because you're actually exiting the world of the simple program. These things are akin to business requirements or UX/UI.

A popular word that's often used to figure out these things is the word "design" as opposed to "calculate." When we "calculate" something we are performing a mechanical operation designed to solve a problem with the most "optimal" solution. When we "design" something we are pulling a solution out of our imagination with no way to verify that it is the most "optimal" solution. Note that the word "optimal" is something we make up and define ourselves.

For example: What is the optimal way to get from point A to point B? One definition of "optimal" in mathematics (a small universe similar to programming) is the shortest distance. For this we have a calculation: a line. Another definition of "optimal" in the reality we occupy as humans (a large universe much bigger than math or the simulation in our computer systems) is the shortest time it takes for a human to move from A to B. The solution to this is "designed" we have several options to choose from but to fulfill the requirement of shortest time... we currently tend to choose a plane as it is the fastest vehicle available. However, we have no way of knowing whether the plane we took is the best possible solution humanity has ever come up with. The amount of possibilities here is so large we can't calculate a solution.

Programming within the bounds of "design" requirements and user specified definitions of "optimal" lives in a small universe similar to a mathematical universe of axioms and theorems meaning that we can very well calculate the most optimal programs rather then design a sub optimal one. There is much research on this topic, I'd look into Prolog, category theory, dependent types, formal methods and that kind of thing to learn more. It's very deep and is basically a whole different topic.

So given a portion of the definition of "optimal" that most people can agree on: "less bugs at zero performance cost," pattern matching is a calculated improvement over if statements and switch cases. Thanks to exhaustive matching you must handle every possible instantiation of a type or the program cannot compile. This is a definitive and logical improvement over all other case handling methodologies.

There is no need for an artistic analogy to illustrate a point, the improvement is definitive and logical.

Whenever a human turns to "art" to solve a problem it literally means they don't have the knowledge on how to find the most "optimal" solution. Also very likely they don't even have a clear definition of what they want as "optimal."

It just seems like a very bad idea that twin-engine planes can fly so far from an air strip. If the #1 engine had failed as well it would have been game over. There's no possibility of gliding a 787 for 2+ hours and hundreds of miles.

You're right, and that's why 787s with Rolls Royce engines had their ETOPS certification reduced from 330 minutes to 140 or 180 depending on which version of the engine the frame has.
I just wanted to write 'hey, could anyone give a brief overview/current status of the crypto space' but then I realized once again that I might get answers influenced by personal investments (I've got still quite some significant portfolio).

This space is difficult, after the last years there's some stigma and trust-levels towards and within the crypto-community are super low (similar to the porn space) and I decided for myself, this sector is over. Main reason is: distributed DBs are hard, publicly distributed DBs are even harder, there are so little use cases that justify the effort involved (except currency & fund raising).

Maybe I am wrong.
ETOPS seems to have done pretty well. As far as I know, no ETOPS-certified twinjets have been lost due to both engines failing. There are a couple cases of the jet running out of fuel (the famous Gimli glider and Air Transat Flight 236), but that is going to be bad no matter how many engines you have. There are cases of airplanes flying into volcanic ash clouds and losing all engines; but more engines doesn't help you if the air around the plane kills engines. There are some poorly-engineered planes with 3 engines that have had a single-engine failure bring down the entire plane (United Airlines Flight 232).

ETOPS is not just some rubber stamp for a particular model of airplane that manufacturers self-certify (hello, 737 MAX debacle), but rather a process applied to (airframe, engine, airline). You have to service particular engines to particular standards to be allowed to fly ETOPS, and it depends on the airline. I could go to the store, buy a 777 and hire 4 ATPs and fly a 777... but I wouldn't be allowed to fly it ETOPS, for example.

All in all, the program seems massively successful to me. It saves fuel, which means cheaper flights and less CO2 being generated. That's a good thing. The main downside seems to be medical emergencies; I remember some stories about the aircraft that flew EWR-SIN... it has some special corpse compartments to stash away the inevitable deaths that occurred 9 hours away from an airport. (It had 4 engines, but engines don't perform heart surgery on passengers.)

The reality is that engines are pretty reliable. 2 is the right number.
The problem is that it’s an addiction — I was addicted, so I would still access those apps via the browser. Until I permanently deleted all of my accounts, I would still be looking at them for hours a day. Even now, I waste my time with Reddit or even HN. :)

The root problem is much deeper and I think it’s difficult to address without behavior change (which is hard). Making it very difficult to do is a good compromise while you’re also working on building self control. These phones take that difficulty to a new level so long as you’re away from your other devices.
I always wondered why Someone doesn’t make a YouTube like app that connects to content repositories via end to end encryption so Apple can’t see what content you are accessing. You could connect to something like Khan Academy for educational videos. This would also allow you to connect to Pornhub or something similar in a native experience without Apple being able to stop it.
Sure, many of the examples ring true.

However, I would refine the claim "Machine learning is fundamentally conservative" to say "Reducing a distribution of predictions to only the most likely prediction is conservative."
Off topic, but... Does anyone know of a community exploring transformative improvements in science education content?

Perhaps discussing topics like: Using pre-K content to inoculate against misconceptions, instead of engendering them.[1] Using industry-derived orthogonal sets of adjectives for describing perceptual properties of materials, instead of the usual adhocery. Rough quantitative description. Teaching scale down to atoms in early primary. Teaching atoms emphasizing quasi-classical nuclei balls, instead of wacky electrons. Atoms-up introduction to materials, and nanoscale emergence of bulk properties. Rough-quantitative introductory biology... in primary. The Sun is too hot, deep space is too cold, and the Earth is doing a BBQ roll between them (the space and roll bits are generally neglected).

Discussions bottlenecked as much on science expertise as educational expertise.

In some sense it's unhelpful discussion. Many ideas are currently undeployable, or their value is uninterestingly limited without the synergy of implausible dependencies.

But personalized AR education seemingly has the potential to alter the constraint space. With a lot of work to be done, if it isn't to be merely "the usual wretchedness, now in AR".

2 engines of the type that they put on 4 engine planes are less reliable than 2 ETOPS-certified engines. ETOPS-certified engines (actually engine, airframe, airline combination) are going to be more expensive than engines where you have three extras next to them.

I could build a jet engine in my garage and the FAA wouldn't let me fly 270 minutes away from an airport with paying passengers on it just because I made four of them. Certification is always going to be important.
And my point was that motivation is irrelevant, and I would find it quite plausible that a two engined airliner would be safer than a four engined jet. Two fewer things to explode, after all.

The president flies a 747 for size and prestige more than safety. Safest option would be to recommission an Iowa and use it as an armed ocean liner or something and skip planes entirely. Or just to stay home.
What does it mean to send an "adwords ad"? Has Google branched out from digital advertising and started distributing ads via the mail?
It depends. You aren't going to make a very fast modern codec encoder or decoder using Python. The hotspot ends up being the vast majority of the process. That management/glue layer becomes very thin, amounting only to feeding in the bitstream and reading back the raw video frames.
