It's not a straw man, and your examples are no more apt than Rayiner's.

America's WWII mobilization is really nothing like the Green New Deal. The total cost of the U.S. war effort is estimated at around $300 B (adjusted for 2009 dollars) [1]. The lowest realistic estimates for the cost of an effective Green New Deal are around double that amount every year, and lasting for decades [2].

It's true that WWII cost far more relative to GDP (over a third, versus 2% for the New Green Deal estimate above), but expressing the cost relative to GDP is not very useful in this context; in 1945 the U.S. was poised to enter a period of ten percent annual GDP growth at a time that military spending was plunging. The situation now is completely opposite; the U.S. will possibly never sustain greater than 2% GDP growth, and the Green New Deal proposes to pull money out of that for decades to come.

The character of WWII spending was also completely different. That money was largely spent on things that were pretty much guaranteed to help the war effort; materiel, industrial infrastructure, and troops. There was little risk of misallocation.

In contrast, the Green New Deal is fraught with misallocation risk. In that way, I suppose that a comparison to modern military spending is actually quite appropriate.

That changes the negotiation strategy for the dealer, but doesn't really change it for you. Even with a "nice" dealer who's planning on making money later in the car's lifecycle, your incentive is to get the lowest price possible, and there are no negative consequences from negotiating a price that is "too low".
you don't need to limit yourself to c/c++. It can be used for various other reasons.

As for c/c++ specifically, you can optimize much better and safer if you have 1 or more intermediate dialects prior to llvm's IR. You don't need to believe it. This is compiler 101.

IBM is trapped by their very wealthy legacy customers [banks, insurance companies, governments and a few fortune 100 stores]. IBM certainly has the talent to create new products, but unless they appeal to those customers, the effort is pointless. The existing customers are so wealthy that it's not worth the effort of the IBM sales machine to target anyone else.

When IBM buys a company, it's not to get new customers. It's only to get products that their legacy customers have been buying from someone else.

I don't even know given the cost of living in the Bay Area if $300K is even really "high" anymore.

If you max out 401k and IRA this is $275k, which is $168K take home or $14k a month.

1-bedroom in SF + Utilities: $4000

Car: $500

Parking: $200

Groceries: $500

Healthcare (copays/premium contribution): $200

Entertainment (incl drinks, streaming services, going out to eat): $500

Phone: $100

Misc. transit: $200

Debt payments (Student loans): $400

Left over: $7400

If you want a child or buy a home...

A 2-bedroom condo will take $1.5M or $300K for a down payment. Then you have to add insurance + HOA. A 1.2M mortgage + insurance + HOA will be close to $8K/month.

Full-time childcare costs $2K/month (+ need to save for college, then all the costs with raising a child).
It is the truth that you are not required to disclose any information about medical situations of your own or your family, or any related to familial status, including even the fact that those issues exist or are medical in nature.

How else is one able to exercise their rights in circumstances like this without some mild obfuscation? "Providing care" is saying enough to signal that it is an issue which is likely medical in nature, without disclosing anything about your own medical condition or circumstances, which is your right. If your issue is only "for a loved one" then maybe you have a point, but you should have no issue with "I was a full-time care provider" and now we're just mincing words.

The goal is to explain enough to make it clear the question is related to medical conditions or familial status, so that the legally well-trained interviewer knows not to pry any further, and the interviewee who knows their rights has a perfectly good way to avoid discussing it any further if the interviewer asks for more information.

"I'd rather not discuss details about that, as the details are personal in nature and not in any way relevant here." That's all you should need to say.

I have seen situations evolve from privately disclosing some information about medical issues as a professional courtesy, into supervisor asking for updates as a logistical concern, and later unwanted discussion that continues as a matter of personal empathy, and then sometimes even more inappropriate discussions between parties that are not involved, or more public than you wanted; conversations that you wish wouldn't have ever started, over things that should have never even been an issue that needed to be discussed in the workplace.

My advice is to exercise your rights and avoid this as much as possible, which is to say, hopefully avoid it altogether.
If I am reading this correctly, the certain outcome is when the smaller company pays a salary equal to FAANG. The person has no incentive to jump. The uncertainly is when the company pays less than a FAANG salary, pocketing the extra salary not being paid, and taking the risk the person does not jump. The lower the salary, the more risk the person jumps, but the more money the company saves.
The video is clearly sped up and it looks like it did wait at the stop sign in the first part, it just didn't wait long.
In general, this possibility has been back-stopped by lack of alternatives. The companies in question have enough money to throw around to buy up alternatives that threaten to become as big as YT without the technical clout to implement the same kind of fingerprinting YT did. Blip (my personal favorite that seemed to be attracting reviewers when ContentID went live) met this fate.

YT is about the only player in the market that the MPAA can't scrounge enough pocket change to meet the price of, but they don't have to because it plays ball with their demands.

Trying harder what? Trying harder to avoid showing traffic when someone with 99 phones in a cart wheel is walking in the street?

They are doing the best they can, the kind of traffic they are showing is quite close to reality in pretty much any situation.

If you simply refer to it being called "autopilot", cmon that's not too serious. The word "autopilot" does not automatically mean that it is full self-driving. None of the Tesla drivers or potential Tesla buyers realistically think that it has level 5 self-driving yet.

UPD: The buy page literally says:

"The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."
That would be good for replacing jQuery and so on, but I would want to be able to replace inline scripts too sometimes. (And also some sites have their own copy of jQuery; I will still want to substitute my own if their own copy is otherwise unmodified.)
> The system isn't AI based... It's currently based on static programming. This is why a development team would have to think of every possible scenario that could happen on roads to make self driving cars really work.

I'm not really sure what this dichotomy is that you're describing. It certainly looks like they're using computer vision to detect the bounding boxes of cars, and the field of computer vision is widely described as being either a subset of artificial intelligence or a cross-disciplinary approach combining artificial intelligence with a handful of other fields.

> You'd have to ask all kinds of wild questions too like:

> "What if kids played a prank and re-painted road lanes on a highway at 50MPH?"

This sort of thing actually happens with real humans, and the legal system has to (and does) handle it. In the 1990s three people removed a stop sign as a prank and were sentenced to 15 years in prison after a human driver drove into the intersection and hit another vehicle, killing three teenagers. https://www.nytimes.com/1997/06/21/us/3-are-sentenced-to-15-.... The fact that it's possible for humans to illegally modify road markings and end up killing people is a challenge and a tragedy, but it's not anything new or particularly game-changing for self-driving cars.

> "What if a sand storm happened?"

That sounds like one of the easiest possible problems. What do humans do when they suddenly have nearly zero visibility on a road? In most places I assume they are supposed to (and do) pull over to the side of the road and stop. I've been in rain that is so heavy that all the nearby cars on the highway had to pull over.

> "What would the car do if a tire blows out at 55MPH?"

Again, that's another thing that happens a lot, and probably causes a lot of injuries and deaths. Again, I'm not minimizing that loss, but it's not some huge "gotcha" for self-driving cars. In this particular example, I would expect self-driving cars to be vastly better than most human drivers in this situation at maintaining control while pulling over and stopping.

My algorithm is so much more complicated than yours. In my area you get rear-ended if you were going straight and you didn't go when someone coming from the opposite direction but also going straight went (your algorithm doesn't allow that).

Assuming cars are already at the intersection, I wait until each of them goes and then take my turn, unless it's someone's turn who wouldn't cause a conflict with me and nobody else could go at the same time and would cause a conflict with me.

When I arrive at the intersection at nearly the exact same time as someone else then some more complicated heuristics come into play (I'm not sure how you handle it when the timing is close enough to be in question). The person on a significantly larger road has priority over smaller road. People going straight have priority over right turners, which have priority over left turners, and if all else is equal, the right-most person should go first.

I guess I could sum it up as "if you can go safely, and nobody who was there before you can go safely, then go. Otherwise wait your turn", but with a lot more nuance around tie-breaking.
> There are not that many asset classes where the manager has a pool of long term locked up capital and the opportunity (and the right) to invest again and again in a company.

This is something that you can do easily in your private portfolio. "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own". This, of course, requires a decent reserve of cash/high quality bonds.

Not many asset managers are willing (or rather able, due to client pressure) to hold un-invested assets.

This is the more accurate one. Doom maps are 2D polygons, each polygon has a ceiling height and floor height property.

Probably is. The computer power necessary to go higher would use all the battery and take up a ton of space.

In your opinion CEO role is easier then programmers?
They lost the market in 2000 by canceling their ev program. Now they want to get back into it by marketing only to the people who would never buy one? Sounds like GM needs a new marketing department.
I've never been in HR, or even in a position to hire, but if you put 2 CVs in front of me that were identical with the exception of one having guard/reserve/active duty military experience I'd always take the military one because it tells me they have are more likely to have discipline (even with knowing how big of screw ups several of my friends that served are).

And if there was a degree, i'd just assume the military was the way it was paid for as I've got probably a dozen friends that got their 4-year degrees via their military service.
I think I disagree with [2]. (Though below is mostly a rephrasing of something I wrote [elsewhere](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/AG6PAqsN5sjQHmKfm/conversati...).)

There's the idea that forecasting is only valuable if it's decision-relevant, or action-guiding, and so far no forecasting org has solved this problem. But I think this is the wrong bar to beat. Making something action-guiding is really hard -- and lots of things which we do think of as important don't meet this bar.

For example, think of research. I think many people who have made important progress didn't set out to write documents that would change how their boss/policymakers make decisions. Rather, they sought out something that they were curious about, or that seemed interesting, or just generally important... and mostly just tried to have true beliefs, more than having impactful actions. They're doing research, not decisions.

Similarly, many people think essays can be important and enabling people to do essays better has high impact. But if you pick a random essay by a public intellectual, and ask what decision was improved as a result, I think you'll be disappointed (though not as disappointed as with forecasting questions). And this is fine. Decision-making takes in a large number of inputs, considerations, emotions, etc. which influence it in strange, non-linear ways. It's mostly just a fact about human decision-making being complex, rather than a fact about essays being useless.

So I'm thinking that the evidence that should suggest to us that forecasting is valuable is not hearing an impactful person say "I saw forecast X which caused me to change decision Y", but rather "I saw forecast X which changed my mind about topic Y". Then, downstream, there might be all sorts of actions which changed as a result, and the forecast-induced mind-change might be one out of a hundred counterfactually important inputs. Yet we shouldn't propose an isolated demand for rigor that forecasting do the credit assignment problem any better than the other 99 inputs.

yup, read them many-many years ago. i spent a large portion of my youth immersed in this world (figuratively, literally) :)
I'm not really sure what the hardware link you provided has to do with anything but plenty of rule-based heuristics are used in state of the art autonomous driving systems. Machine learning systems have taken over the image processing and classification parts, semantic segmentation, object recognition and so on but traffic rules or emergency behaviour or hard speed limits are not learned.

the OP is wrong though in somehow classifying this as 'not AI'. Just because ML has become an important part of the equation doesn't mean we have thrown control theory and logical constraints out of the window.

I really don't think Google even wants YouTube. I think they'd be more than happy to buy the personal data of customers from a competitor. I think their problem is that no one wants to compete because
it costs unreal amounts of money to store the amount of data that YouTube does, let alone the legal fees they must swallow each year. At this point, I imagine that they simply take the anti-consumer choice whenever a dilemma comes up in the hopes that it might finally be the bullet to put them out of their money-losing misery.
Nvidia X Server Settings app -> X Server Display Configuration -> Advanced... -> Force Full Composition Pipeline

Note, it is not saved during a reboot unless you click 'Save to X Configuration File' and then save to /etc/X11/xorg.conf for most distros.

Also, many distros have partial v-sync of some sort on. For most it isn't noticeable, but for many desktops it causes the screen to run at an effective 59 instead of 60fps (or that is what it looks like to me, non-scientific here), so it can be beneficial to look up how to turn off vsync on your distro. Eg, I'm on Mint so for me it's General Settings -> VSync method -> None. For most people, this is not a noticeable change.

If you negotiate an all-in price that's a $1000 lower than a typical customer, that's straightforwardly $1000 they don't get. The fact that your price was lower doesn't cause their other sources of revenue on the sale to go up.
An employee costs you X per year, so you need to make a multiple of X to justify the hire. The higher that multiple is, the easier it is to make that decision. When there are lots of companies competing to hire tech workers for easy money, salaries rise.
There is Network Dependent AI... Not independent processing power on board each vehicle to make autonomous decisions.

I was referring to AI that operates independently of a network connection. There are multiple scenarios in which a network connection can become unavailable.

It really depends on the problem space. Mobile phones and browsers only have so much memory available so you have to be mindful of memory consumption there.

We are a edtech company looking to hire a designer on contract basis to help revamp our product. We have very basic wireframes which will need to be converted into a good design. We can work with Invision or Sketch designs. Will need to load those in a tool like zeplin.io so that we can then get the styles to create the HTML.

The pages are mostly frontend/marketing facing and will have dynamic components like Listing/search and user interactive components like cart/checkout page etc.

This article left the same exact taste in my mouth (eyes?)

The author has roughly described the concepts of wage inflation and supply-and-demand (for workers, in one industry, and for consumer goods), and reduced almost everything to "risk premium". Risk is everywhere in the economy, yes. The word "premium" implies additional cost over and above a base cost, which encompasses many more factors.

Edit: To be fair, I'm glad that the author and some readers are excited about learning new concepts. I have many similar blog posts written, though admittedly they stay in my drafts folder if I feel they aren't contributing significant insight :)
