but it is some incomprehensible black box of weights, I won't be getting in that car.

You don't understand the complex weighted probabilities in your doctor's head either, but you trust them to diagnose cancer (which incidentally machine learning is beating humans at). None of the algorithms in doctors' heads can be formally proved to work in all circumstances, nor can the code that runs medical equipment.

A full understanding of complex systems (machine or human controlled) is not possible today in many domains, that's why we measure results. If the data shows that self-driving cars are safer, we will switch. At present, that's what it shows.

As to special roads/markers, these would make the technology less effective at dealing with the unexpected (crash ahead, moose on road, cyclist in the lane etc), and many of the leading companies don't think they are necessary. I can see cars forming networks which report danger, or adding more sensors, but don't think our roads will have to change for self driving, which will be prevalent within the decade IMO without infrastructure changes.
Russia feels that Crimea and eastern Ukraine is actually part of Russia. It was separated at paper, but it wasn't separated in souls. So you can expect further conquests of Ukraine parts, until there's no more people in the remaining Ukraine parts who identify themselves as part of Russian culture. And probably those who remain will just be conquered by Poland and that's about it.

You can have a directed spray (maybe shot out of a giant fire hose at high pressure and flow), but without gravity, the liquid will disperse over a short distance. I don't see how that's avoidable because of entropy/diffusion. Gravity plus a container (river bed) create a perfect condition for the sorts of liquid flows we're accustomed to: a nearly identical acceleration on all particles, with a bounded displacement.
It looks like Facebook's `folly` library had an implementation of coroutines available in their experimental directory since mid-2018. There was still some evolution going on after it was pushed though (and it seems like there still is today).

Not sure if that helps the argument that this has been around for "years" (since it's still in the experimental directory), but I guess there were some libraries trying to accomplish this.

If runners world are interested, theres probably some way of contacting me through here (I've now idea on the best way) and I am happy to add in to the story with some concrete details.

> Instead of the university administration focusing on priority areas, such as where parking would block exits, it becomes a profit source and they lose sight of what parking is for -- access by staff and students.

This is a strong point, and has lots of modern parallels (e.g. "civil forfeiture", gatsos), especially to do with cars. The only thing I'd say is that it's a bit of a stretch to ask the tech to prevent the university from going down this path, whether you blame it on greed or perverse incentives or whatever. I think ideally the parking enforcement system would be fair, simple, and without auxiliary functions like data collection for other purposes. What the administration (mis-)uses it for at that point is on them.
Yeah.

The problem's a difficult one. More usually, the answer seems to be a mix of bundling and subscriptions.

With technology and all that it entails (protocols, data, interchange, hardware, various forms of IP), that itself is problematic in ways simple print content subscriptions generally weren't.

Where the 95% ends can only be a decision the car makes. There can’t be a button you push when you think “come on autopilot you can do it, It’s just a short jump and you’ll fit through that narrow passage in the run-up easily!”. Autonomous cars will give up and stop when they require manual intervention.

But, this is also why I think the next car manufacturer race will be about who can solve this for their customers. That is, who solves the problem of making 95% autonomous cars able to drive in 99.9% if all situations without manual intervention by the driver, where the provides automatic remote control from massive rooms full of people steering drunk car owners out of situations the autopilot couldn’t. The better the autonomy, the fewer people needed to remote override.

The guy just puts a shopping list of all obvious nasty things that could happen to the West, and call it a strategy. Few things from that coming true, does not mean them acting on this as a guiding policy.

Continuing the parallel with Danish: yes, Vikings main interest with British Islands was loot and plunder, but they were not dumb to the level where they make invading the British harder for themselves. When given a chance, they would thoroughly mess up British political arrangements with all means available to them.
Doesn't Tesla already heavily rely on "German engineering"? They have/had plenty of executives from German automotive companies, they own an automation company in Germany and their supply chain probably has many German companies in it. (Three of the Top5 automotive suppliers are German)
Awesome. If more people stuck to their guns like this, the whole system would fall apart, and this racket wouldn't work. It does work though, because most people are pushovers and seek to avoid confrontation. If more people would stand their ground against obvious fraud, the world would be a better place!
”We will eventually update markings and beacons on the roads to make it easier for the cars”

We have already done this, they are called railways. Some of them evening have self driving trains.

To get self driving cars on roads you need a human level AI. Trying to get away with less intelligence by restricting the environment will never get to the point where it will be safe to have automated vehicles - you can’t provide infrastructure clues to the vehicle to help it tell when a child is about to run out into the road for example (and there are many other examples too) so you would have to segregate them physically from everything else and then you might as well stick to railways

Would love a typeform alternative. I used to love Typeform but as of v2 (which I think coincided with them raising VC money?) it became stagnant, heavy and crappy. Plus they made some breaking changes without as little as a notice or publishing some kind of changelog...

... had a quick look at the demo on my phone and it’s not what we need however. We use typeform for other purposes, and also the chat-like interface was an immediate turn off (again for our use case, I can imagine for client prospecting maybe it’s different).

Best of luck! I genuinely want a better typeform out there and the sooner the better :)
It works great for programming but in my experience most of the job is requirements gathering. Even if I worked in a place that could constantly feed me programming tasks I'd probably just feel like a code monkey and not a developer.

It's really not so far-fetched to think Russia would annex a Baltic state sometime in the future. They've shown they have the capability and political will to annex similarly prepared countries' territories.

It all boils down to what they believe NATO's response would be.

People speaking a language is not a useful way of choosing your borders. Otherwise most of Latin America can revert to Spanish control, the US can be annexed by the UK, countries like Morocco can be colonies of the French again. The fact is that spreading your language is a basic element of empire building. The fact that Crimea, Ukraine etc have so many Russian speakers reflects their past.

The skateboard analogy comes from spotify’s literature on product.

In the skateboard approach, if you selling mobility (from A > B), then the skateboard is the mvp.

If you are selling mobility for a family, then it is not.

Clearly you're delusional for thinking that Iowa does not exist, thus every argument you've ever made and will ever make can be dismissed. Furthermore, because you're an Iowa-denialist you probably should lose your job and never hold another job ever again.

That's essentially the danger of this type of reasoning. Differences in opinion and disagreements end up essentially as feuds. I think that the Internet is partly to blame here, because the mob simply tries to outdo one another at destroying the arguments, and eventually, the person that disagrees. We can see the extreme examples of this in the case of the gender debate. I wonder whether some people fighting against climate change will become as extreme.
Oh it was one of my neighbors, not a gang. ~$800 was the quote for a car with cheaper paint. This car has metallic paint (more expensive and more difficult to respray well), I'd be very surprised if I could find a competent shop to fix it for less than a grand.

https://www.shouselaw.com/burglary.html#2.3

I'm not a lawyer so here's how I interpreted these lawyers:

Petty theft is up to six months in jail + up to $1,000 fine. Prop 47 added a misdemeanor shoplifting statute with a max. incarceration to one year. Previously this was considered burglary where a defendant could be charged with either a misdemeanor (up to a year in jail) or felony (up to three or so years).

The existing burglary statute (which otherwise covered what is now called shoplifting) carries a sentence of up to one year in jail (misdemeanor) or more (felony). The gangs taking less than $950 worth of goods are taking advantage of police apathy. So, sure, maybe Prop 47 resulted in an increase in shoplifting/burglary. However, if the police were to see these things through repeat criminals would still be subject to the same felony statue as before.

It's currently a bigger threat to human welfare than most things they ban, so platforms that exert editorial control in accordance with mainstream morals should do more about it.

An interesting topic is that since they ban some positive everyday-life things, to what extent should they (as perceived by the audience) have a burden of impartiality in the spirit of free discourse in the open society?
Sure there are niche markets where fully self-driving and self-driving only cars may make sense.

But they still need to handle fault cases: e.g. they cannot only rely on a beacon sent by traffic lights because that beacon or the whole traffic light might out of order. So, imho, while smart infrastructure may help self-driving cars and traffic management it does not allow you to avoid the "hard work", which to make sure self-driving cars will behave safely and reasonably completely on their own.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

I do understand why the article hasn't touched upon this, since it's just an attempt to diagnose the pattern seen in the overall male subpopulation, which is not seen in the overall female subpopulation. But I agree it could be interesting to look there too.
Sorry to be a pedant, but the UK's military capability is at an all time low. We have made awful purchasing decisions across the army, navy and air force, as well as failing to recruit enough people. There isn't a part of the UK military which isn't in crisis. We are not the force your post suggests we are.

In my experience, remote work remains less effective than being physically present. Especially if you are never present. It just makes coordination and socialization so much more difficult.
Not sure why Java gets so much hate. I think it's some PTSD from bad corporate jobs.

It's quite good that we have a rather performant, cross-platform, GCed language.

I also didn't feel any epiphany while learning Clojure. I think Haskell is a much nicer language for some tasks, but going full-Haskell seems near impossible without a PhD in some obscure academic niche.

My perfect programming language would be a Jupyter Notebook-like thing where I can just add sections in whatever makes sense. Write some imperative Java, put a small Haskell block for a function that recurses nicely, put a Minizinc block to solve a constraint... Of course, nobody except the original author would feel comfortable with those exact choices... which explains why companies must standardise on something.
I believe that the absolute shortest way to start with Lisp for somebody that is already familiar with programming is Franz Inc course that is freely avaialable online here:
https://franz.com/services/classes/.
It goes straight to the point and has exercises.
Practical Common Lisp is a good book but takes a too long route to get to the point. I would recommend it only to somebody that is not a programmer by trade.
> Isn't it about time we realised that people live somewhere amongst social capital they have built up throughout their lives.

It's often the case, but SF, NYC, London are very popular outliers, so why can't other regions be?

It's not social capital, it's expected quality of life that makes people move to NYC for work and makes dilapidated areas unattractive.

Isn't it good that you can view both sides of the issue and decide for yourself? Even debate could be seen as something that spreads "climate denialism".
I see a ethic issue with ai recommendations algorithms.

Say that YouTube’s algorithm optimizes to offer viewers content that they would like to watch. This maximizes viewer platform engagement which maximizes advertisement revenue.

Say a clinically depressed person starts to watch videos on YouTube. The algorithms does what is does well. Optimize viewer retention and offers more depressing videos to keep the viewer engaged. Viewer gets more even more depressed?

What is the moral programming goals?

Same could be said for example of violent content. Viewer watches violent content get offered violent content?

After trying several formats, I now keep my zettelasten-structured notes in https://Notion.so. you can use webclipper, search and internal links etc, previews can be seen as cards. This approach is well documented with many examples in the Zettelkasten forum, in this post https://forum.zettelkasten.de/discussion/404/moving-on

I found that the value of these systems for me is highly dependent on the amount of engagement I put into it in practice - if I engage eith the 'cards' often, updating them or reordering them, the content and the links of the card are much more present in my mind and generate new ideas. Compared to this factor, the system used for linked notes is of secondary importance.
Would it be akin to a river stone? Seems possible.
It's certainly an interesting discussion. There are levels and levels of believe and promotion.

Some Iowa denialist might also reject someone from a job because the candidate claim they're from Iowa and that's obvious a lie.

Europe has been trying to build good relations with Russia for as long as anyone can remember. But in the end it takes two to tango.
The first amendment in the US prevents the government from regulating speech, the fundamental reasoning is to allow the people to have varied political opinions or to disseminate them.

This does not cover private companies nor commercial activities. YouTube already prohibits certain content on their platform, and limits ability to profit from certain content. This is just an extension of this doctrine.

Furthermore, please consider that there is no absolute right to say anything you want, it has always been a balance. Even in the US, where free speech is enshrined in the constitution, there are criminal and civil limits to free speech if you cause harm to others.

Former land surveyor here. I "retired" young from surveying in 2008 when the recession happened in the commercial property market and became a web developer.

This guy is remarkable. I wonder what kind of land surveying he's been doing. I'm guessing geodetic or GPS/GIS, which is not as physically demanding. Property staking, engineering, forestry, and traffic surveying requires a lot of upper body strength, line cutting/bushwhacking, driving, and walking.
