Yeah, but you don't upload it - you just make it accessible to the browser. So you read it into memory, but you would do the same with a "native" program (despite the fact that a very large file might be read more intelligently if it doesn't fit into RAM).
Then no one subscribes to Disney+ streaming, and if no one buys Disney clothes or toys, and if no one goes on Disney Cruises, and if everybody stopped watching ESPN Sports or sports on ABC (including football). Then maybe... just maybe... Disney will start to have some issues.
This is actually a genius piece.
When I was at Google most recently, I saw quite a few transfers to Waymo that initially struck me as odd matches. Aside from the pseudo-retention (aka denial of talent) aspect, there's also a lot of non-car related work (e.g. apps, demand prediction) that needs to be done for Waymo to progress.
Of course you are welcome to not use Brave, but who are you to decide whether I think my browser vender deserves my money (or attention-based money) for the services they provide? You literally said "Your browser vendor doesn't deserve a cut of the value of your attention/privacy".

I am not 100% in favor of Brave's monetization strategy, though I'm very glad they are trying something less common. If their overall execution was more to my liking, I would gladly pay them for the service. You have no business presuming to decide for other people what they find worthy of compensation.
The easy solution to this idea is to have the guy inside the car (you know, the passenger) pick up in this case. He's right there - no latency problems. The difficulty is in correctly identifying an unresolved edge case with enough margin to brake safely and draw the attention of a distracted passenger.
Not really.

A few of the better anti-cheat products have had detection vectors for these for a while now, from simple things like detecting the driver to outright probing the device.
When I worked in "the loop" of downtown Chicago I'd walk a mile or so from where I parked my motorcycle to the office @ 1 N. State.

Every day I walked past the same people pan-handling on the same corners. Many had signs with invented stories to try garner pity from suckers, stuff that was obviously fictional to anyone who had been walking past these people every business day for years, like "Stranded traveler, need money for bus fare" kind of stuff.

One day it became clear why some stuck with the stranded traveler story; it enabled them to wear normal, even classy high-end clothing, and not even have to be dirty-looking. On that day as I walked past a woman doing this I noticed she was wearing a new pair of some exceptionally fancy shoes, and the price tag sticker was still visible on the sole: $499.

On another occasion, I recognized one of these people but off-duty, crouched against the exterior wall of Sears trying to light a cigarette with a match, with their wheeled suitcase parked between themself and the wall. It was windy (Chicago) and I had a lighter, so I went over to help them with a light and as I got close enough to reach their cigarette I saw inside their "stranded traveler" prop suitcase they had left open: it appeared to be full of cash. Another pro for the stranded traveler gimmick: it gives you reason to have a suitcase to hide the sizable stash.

These folks probably weren't homeless, they just earned an easy living by acting like they were in a relatable bind of a situation to fellow tourists in a busy city.

I got to know someone who lived homelessly for a few years on the streets of Chicago, and he said real homeless people in Chicago are easily identified by their clothes and possessions being bleach-stained. Apparently the municipal crews would spray down the encampments on lower wacker where they'd stay warm through winter, without warning. So people who slept down there would have all their possessions/clothing ruined by the bleach. This was decades ago, I don't know if it's still applicable.
I guess i was interpreting local in the sense of localhost. Which, fair enough, in context that is a silly way to interpret local as local network makes much more sense in context.
The individual writing the algorithm certainly can have access. If I copy a song, I can't say that the tool I used didn't have access as a defense because that makes no sense.
No thanks. If it can remove artifacts, it can also introduce them. Nobody should be using this on patients. This is a straightforward misapplication of AI.
Absolutely not. That recommendation makes no sense.
Fascinating, so what happen when you load the same URL inside IE inside win2k? I wonder how many times it can recursively be loaded without the parent browser freezing.
> you respond with how Linux users can set up unbound. Like, well argued!

I did write, that DISTRIBUTIONS should set this up by default, not the users.

And Microsoft could do the same for Windows, as could Apple (with almost zero effort) for MacOS-X
I'll decide what deserves a cut of my value, thank you very much.
It fires every 20 seconds and it takes 2 iterations before it's basically unrecoverable. However, you aren't taking into the account in the "I think I fixed it factor" after the first couple iterations. It's not like they had all 3 minutes to figure it out and fix it. A good amount of time was wasted to see if the fixes had an effect. This answer does a good job of explaining all the things that the pilot has to do in those 3 minutes.

> Almost every study on human behavior contradicts this.

I don't doubt you, but do you know of any particular studies regarding this? I am kind of curious about how these studies are designed.
I've thought something similar for a while, and it's been long enough that I think the problem is the failure mode. It might be that getting a car to recognize when it's encountered an edge case and needs to kick it to a human is about as challenging as just getting the car to come to the right conclusion and drive itself anyway. Intuitively we think of the problem as what the car needs to do, but the main problem is ascertaining the state of the road accurately. In the autonomous crashes we've seen from Tesla and Uber, it looks like the cars never even noticed enough to have an ambiguous condition they could deactivate autopilot from. They just had a completely erroneous perception of the outside world.
What I've found has helped me to change patterns is to pull an all nighter, then go to sleep at the target time. Its worked for me a few times, until I slowly drift out of sync (I'm definitely not an inherent morning person).

The founder of Brave was one of the founders at Mozilla. Until her became a victim of cancel culture at Mozilla for having a "wrong opinion" 10 years or so ago.

Sadly, Mozilla today is mostly a political organization that also publishes a web browser.
Is it well-documented that such actions are used to obtain account credentials for Sci-Hub? I've not heard of this.
There may be zealotry involved in the attacks on Brave, but I don't think it is essentially OS/free software zealotry. Brave is open source, after all.

Edit: I am a passionate advocate for freedom, privacy, and free software and I like Brave.

Sure, I agree with the mindset of how Iger is probably wanting to be done. But a less alarming way about it would be announcing that Iger will be stepping down as CEO "at the end of the quarter." Not "immediately" and not being put into a consulting role for 22 months of his remaining contract.
Very, very few Googlers are "not up to snuff." As controversial as their interview process is, it does tend to let only highly capable people through. If a Googler is not meeting expectations, the vast majority of the time it's effectively remedied with the proverbial "new manager and 6 more months" treatment.

It is fairly easy to cheat.... you can buy a weight that you attach to the steering wheel, and it will think you are grabbing it.

Super dangerous and stupid, but people do it.
I know nothing about Bob Iger, but given what's happened these past few years, denial from the person and their family that they'll run for office is the first sign that they'll run for office.
A colleague explained it to me like this:

"During a recession, all the big companies will tighten their budgets and not throw money to copy your products"

They then pointed out that all the companies that took off in the 10s started during the 2008 recession.

Look at what happened to Snapchat for an example of what happens when other companies have money to spend to catch up with your product quickly.
He was also pretty adamant about not doing it in his book that came out last fall. Would be an awkwardly quick about face.
As a privacy-minded, ethically-motivated technologist I support Brave for their strong position on privacy - a position in which they are peerless amongst other browser vendors.

I am always open to changing my mind, yet when I see the same untruths mustered to poison-the-well ('swapping ads with their own' - not true) I wonder why the same dishonest and distorted talking points come up instead of any valid criticisms.

What you call 'cryptocurrency nonsense' is a model that potentially threatens to overturn Google's ad model, and with it the current ad-tech ecosystem.

That obviously means there's a huge number of high-stakes players who are very keen for this particular model not to 'take' in the online world, and so we see the same untruths constantly amplified.

Brave must be doing something right, and even if there's a purist's position which says their model is not the holy grail, I'd prefer innovation and disrupted business models over a continuation of the current ad-tech status quo.
You can do that. You only have to grab the steering wheel with one hand.
As a lawyer I had the reverse experience, programming taught me to go deep. Plenty of mediocre lawyers don’t chase depth of understanding to the nth degree, but trying to understand, debug, and work in a new codebase taught me detective work at a new level that absolutely cannot be replaced with bs or the program won’t work.
This mirrors what’s happened in banking and healthcare SaaS. You can be much smaller than Amazon and have a focused, compliant product with amazing customer lock in. But just like in banking and health records solid regulation in the IoT space needs to come first to force companies to the table.
Winter squash is a vegetable. Calabaza and hubbard squash are particularly durable.
Food and food sale is pretty regulated. There are probably even more regulations around food production than insurance.
The days of autonomy for engineers at Google is over.

At this point product managers fight for their ideas to be implemented so that they can get promoted, even if it's an inferiour solution.
I think this is possibly the crux of it for me. I've certainly got well developed abstract thinking for software development, but software has always had a clear application for me, so the abstract thinking developed as a matter of course.

I've rarely found any higher math instruction which takes for the form, "so you have this specific problem X, here is how we can solve it with technique Y"[1]. But I suspect that it is because it is higher math (which presumably means 'higher order' math).

Without this, and without an inherent enjoyment of the pureness of the math, it seems somewhat esoteric for me personally. I'm not complaining, nor do I really think it should be any other way. I'm just reflecting on it really.

This also makes me think of my foray into monads: "The thing about monads is once you finally understand them you immediately lose the ability to explain what they are to others." Not saying that's the case here, just feels related.

[1] At least where I found problem X to be satisfactory. I didn't find my lecturer's problem of, "you're stood on a mountain described by this PDE, on what vector must one walk in order to stay at the same altitude" to be very applicable. I was a pretty wilful student though.
Very cool project OP: it looks like it gets rid of the major pain points I've had with Selenium. In particular, smarter handling of iframes and the better explicit waits are huge wins over vanilla Selenium.

A WHO team is just back from China and their assessment is that the outbreak is currently declining there and the numbers provided by China are reasonably accurate. Following are comments by WHO epidemiologist Bruce Aylward in the following articles:

> He [Aylward] pointed to humped graphs of cases over time—they are the shape of an epidemic that has been hobbled, he said. Disease spread has been in decline since the beginning of the month, and doctors in China are honing their ability to treat patients. “If I had COVID-19, I’d want to be treated in China,” he said candidly. [1]

> There’s plenty of reason to doubt the official numbers—Chinese officials initially covered up the virus and arrested whistle-blowers who tried to expose the outbreak. Aylward acknowledged these concerns on Monday, but added: “The decline that we see is real.” [2]

Well true but you don't have to accept all the people who reach the final threshold until you've actually raised it all that way, so it allows you to reject more people while avoiding nasty near misses. It also allows you to defer the final decision indefinitely, taking into account only those near misses that actually occur.

For example I reckon you could get it to converge by e.g. accepting anyone who comes closer to the threshold than anyone before, this could avoid all near misses (for some definition of 'near miss') while almost certainly remaining bounded (unproven, ask your local mathematician for advice).
Probably more "breeding" than "social graces" though, if Prince Andrew is any indication.

That was too aggressive. Better to say that it's failed for me, and I suspect it will fail for others. YMMV.

In my case, I lost access to one of my Google accounts, for no apparent reason, and I have been unable to regain access. The movies I have are actually attached to my other account, but the message seems clear--they can go away at any time with no recourse.

In principle this is true for Amazon, Apple, and other Play competitors. In practice, I haven't heard of such cases, and because their economic model is different, this seems a lot less likely, to me.

More broadly, Google has a track record of discontinuing services, which also makes me nervous.
Well, it's not that I disrespect them. It's just that in any veil-of-ignorance metric of human happiness, the marginal dollar goes not very far when given to the arbitrary homeless person. There is:

* a discovery problem - I don't know which guys the marginal dollar will provide more than a dollar's worth back in human value

* an antagonist problem - There are actors intentionally muddying the waters so that spending the dollar will yield negative value

* a comparative advantage problem - These guys are not an efficient spend of money

And I must make these choices because a 40 year old shitting himself on Powell St. is really not more valuable than a 2 year old who will die of a disease unless I fund part of a doctor, and I have limited resources in which to choose who to help. And neither of them are more valuable than getting extra meat on my Chipotle. I know this because I think about that $3 sometimes when I'm ordering and I'd rather have the meat than give the $3 to help either of them.

Um... there's a whole lot different with airplane autopilot vs being on the road.

Autopilot is normally engaged when there's "nothing". Clear skies rarely have "sudden" obstacles. It's a no-no during severe weather or flying through mountains. I had a fascination with watching airline disaster investigations when I was making regular flights for a year. Around 70-80% of accidents were caused by relying on autopilot during sub-perfect conditions.

Using airplane autopilot as a case to use Tesla autopilot is a terrible, terrible analogy. Let's throw in an extra terrible.
Market prices are currently set based on 1-3x multipliers of Medicare reimbursement, so by definition the government already handles health care at lower costs.

Commodifying health care has proven to be disastrous in the US because it's, in practice, impossible to "shop around" — not even including cases where the "customer" is unconscious or in a life-threatening situation where "shopping" would be ridiculous, the profit models of health care centers are forcing many to close, leaving people with few choices in their immediate area, exacerbated by the "network" coverage model of insurance companies where you may not even be able to go to certain hospitals or doctor's offices.

Interestingly, though, improvements in supply chain management are making it possible to centrally-plan commodities like clothing. Multinational companies like Wal-Mart and Amazon are doing this already, in fact.

It's funny you say that it's a negative because I think that's a positive. It's one of my favorite things to do to load up my team's games (Tampa Bay Rays fan here!) on MLB.tv and work on my side project while I watch the games. When the game is going slowly I'll pay more attention on my projects and vice versa.

But the actual game play is my least favorite part about baseball. I absolutely love the theory and statistics that goes into the front office decisions. It's this interesting mix of economics and game theory and negotiation theory. My favorite team is notoriously cash strapped (read: cheap) and I think it's fascinating watching the team wheel and deal to try to compete with teams that literally spend 2x-3x as much as they do

Using language age as a definition of success isn't really being fair. Plenty of very successful languages took a long time to gain traction. For instance, Python was in a very similar position to Rust for almost 15 years before it finally started to shoot up into what it is today. In 2000 you were considered eccentric if you chose to use Python for anything but the most dirty scripts, but now it's being used for complex production systems.

I'm not blind. I can see that Rust has its major downsides, and the zealotry you see is on HN and elsewhere is downright annoying. But dismissing it based on age is being disingenuous. There was another list of projects elsewhere in this comment thread which listed a number of things being used in production that can't be considered half-finished by any measure.
There are many places where cars have to go with no cellular data coverage, even inside major cities. Tunnels for example.
It looks like Google's current focus has been moving things out of Google Play sub-brands to YouTube sub-brands with their own new apps. Or at least that's what ads and upsells in YouTube itself keep trying to tell me? No idea if Google has made any public announcements one way or the other, but the growing confusion certainly doesn't help anyone figure out what Google's strategy here is (or if it even has one or even if this is just like that "new messenger app every year, X% chance one dies this year" russian roulette thing they do).
The fact that your numbers suggest 10 hours of constant chargeable activity with only one 15 minute clean suggests they are nonsense.

If you squint hard enough, you can see all of them as linear transformations (even the 2D images :-).

I politely disagree about covariance and Hessians. I can squint and say that the Hessian provides a change in gradient when multiplied by a delta vector. Similarly for covariance... Or you could look at it as one half of the dot product for a Bhattacharyya distance, which is just a product of three matrices (row vector, square matrix, col vector). No need for tensors yet.

That is unless you decide to squint hard enough to see everything as tensors! :-)
Honestly most techdoc writers have never really used their products in production. You are lucky if they have built their own test and sample apps.

So the solution is having the engineers building the service write the documentation right? Wrong. They also don't know what assumptions a real customer makes and how they would use it. Quite likely they too don't understand real external production use.

Writing technical documentation is hard.
