You can also deploy runners with GPU on premise using CML docker image with GPU already supported having to install only the ndivia drivers and nvidia-docker in your machine.

docker run --name myrunner -d
-e RUNNER_IDLE_TIMEOUT=1800
-e RUNNER_LABELS=cml
-e RUNNER_REPO=$my_repo_url
-e repo_token=$my_repo_token

If you want to play about with gliders yourself the sim Condor Soaring is pretty awesome and has VR support. It's a much more chill and relaxing experience than flying combat sims all the time and more engaging than most non-combat sims.
It's so obvious what is needed to help these take off: an app/skill store with an easy development environment. Would assume the order goes something like this:

$20k robot -> robot app/skill store -> Killer apps??? -> More volume ->... $3k robot -> More apps/skills -> $1k robot -> Everyone has one.

I’m looking forward to your thoughts, especially for my choice of using HTML instead of Markdown as file format. I debated this for a while.

HTML has the advantage that can be previewed in any browser with formatting and images intact. Markdown would require a compatible app (text editor aside, which won’t show images). Also, HTML documents can easily be shared as single file, even if they contain embedded images.

What do you think?

You can identify Mexicans by sight? Aside from that, I think BLM is largely in response to a problem with police violence that's quite specific to Black Americans. I'm sure you'll find that Mexicans are are well represented as any other group in anti-racist activism more broadly.
Most countries plan their military around defense of their territory though, planning around military aggression of their neighbours has only happened for short periods and in a few countries since the invention of railways.
I used this state for lucid dreaming quite a bit. It’s actually the opposite: the brain is starting to dream but hasn’t forgotten where it is yet. So you can ‘get up’ slowly and walk around while your brain imagines the perceptive inputs. I can’t do this in any ‘normal life’ state, only when isolated in strange places (military deployments).

Yeah, if the US does this the nickel ($.05) should go too while we’re at it. We’ve put off getting rid of the penny so long that even 5x a penny is worthless. Switch to $.10, $.50, and $1 coins.
My last ADSL router/modem from Vodafone (UK telecoms/broadband company - unsure who the OEM was) was amazing in this respect. You could configure it to have all the lights off by default, and it had an infrared proximity sensor built into the top - wave your hand to activate the blinkenlights.

I thought docker on Mac used a virtual machine + disk resulting in slower file io? As opposed to running containers directly against the host kernel / file system like Linux.
In the interest of full disclosure I was talking about USA GST (Sales Tax) not the tax where I live. In the US the price on the shelf seems to be a "rough indication" of how much you may pay when you get to the till...

That I noticed this suggests I live in a VAT country not a GST country :)
>Also, it's WAY easier to counterfeit a coin than a bill.

I think that depends. Some countries do integrate security features in coins.

The important question isn't whether it's easier, it's whether it's more cost effective. It's probably easier to counterfeit a USD penny than a USD $20 bill, but it would be less economical to do so.

Wonderful. Are there any other "robotics" projects which use android phones instead of rasberry-pi or microcontrollers?

Imagine in future there are generic robots. Rather than trusting its custom AI/processing, I can connect my phone to the robot and my phone gets hardware/robotic extension and is personalised for me.

Its like ironman suit for my phone :)

> They fix it all, no problem, everything is easy when it's scheduled by appointment.

The fact that you need to schedule an appointment in the first place is horrible customer service. When I buy a product from NewEgg, if there's anything wrong with it, they immediately ship me a new one and a box to return the old one in, no questions asked. When my ThinkPad started having issues eight months after purchase, they sent me a prepaid return box, fixed it, and sent it back quickly. When I've had problems with MacBooks, I've had to schedule an appointment, drive to the Apple store, wait in line, explain my problem, let them ask a zillion irrelevant questions (the equivalent of 'did you try rebooting?'), and then come back in a few weeks to pick it up. They are hostile to customers when it comes to hardware issues, and they almost never admit that their products are faulty. Look at how long it took them to fix the TouchBar and keyboard failures a few years ago.

Apple will fix your product if it's under warranty, but they won't make it easy, and they won't pull a defective product and re-engineer it until the bad press overwhelms them. They're not great at this aspect of customer service.

>Sayre's law states, in a formulation quoted by Charles Philip Issawi: "In any dispute the intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the issues at stake." By way of corollary, it adds: "That is why academic politics are so bitter." Sayre's law is named after Wallace Stanley Sayre (1905–1972), U.S. political scientist and professor at Columbia University.
Fair enough, but IMO if they are holding themselves to that narrow and frankly completely useless condition then 90% of the episode was wasted effort talking to people about things that, by the definition of their own condition were completely unrelated.

I wouldn't consider 46 degrees to be a predominantly vertical trajectory, but its closer to being that than it is horizontal. I'd bet money that people have been injured by bullets between 46 and 70 degree angles at least. I wouldn't rule out higher angles than that either.

It could end up having less energy sooner than I imagine, but I would have to see it simulated far more convincingly than they did on the show.
I didn’t reply to any comment that was talking about the price in the USA, state or suggest I was talking about how much they might cost in the USA and the article was not discussing anything USA specific.

Just because you (presumably) live the USA doesn’t mean the rest of the internet does.

> But wouldn't you want your trains to easily extend into theirs?

Can’t find the link now but I read a fascinating article about the German and Russian use of railways on the WW2 Eastern Front. Long story short IIRC: the Russian rail network was primitive by German standards, primarily lacking the automated signalling that allowed relatively high speed trains. Primitive, but it still worked and was very resilient to damage. The Russians destroyed a lot of their railways as they retreated and could quickly rebuild it when their fortunes changed.

Also, the Russians operated their trains using a centralised planning function that could prioritise strategically important routes and cargoes. In contrast, senior German commanders could in effect commandeer trains to support their local tactical needs, sometimes playing havoc with the overall network.
Fiber: An Express-inspired web framework written in Go
I'm very skeptical of fully autonomous vehicles in the short term but I'm more optimistic for this robot. The big issues for autonomous vehicles are mainly:

- You have to deal with and anticipate the behavior of dozens of other people/animals/machines.

- If you mess up you can injure or kill people.

This robot doesn't really have either of these issues. You'd have to be careful around babies and very small animals, that's true, but there's still a huge potential market even if you remove small pet owners and parents of toddlers.

Beyond that training the machine to identify common household items and tell it where to put them (the remote goes there, the backpack goes there, the shoes go there etc...) doesn't seem too far fetched. Being able to do the laundry (minus any ironing and assuming that you have a drying machine) also seems feasible to me. It won't be able to learn new tasks but if it's successful enough the company making them could continuously update it to implement new features, similar to how smartphone voice assistants keep improving and becoming smarter as engineers handle more corner cases.

Now are these features worth the current price tag, or even half of it? Absolutely not IMO, but that's obviously only for rich early adopters at the moment. If it gains enough traction I'm sure it can improve a lot and fast while cutting the price.
The justification is that the equipment presents a national security risk.

If that's true, how is it reasonable to allow this equipment to operate in the UK for 7 more years? Doesn't that mean the UK is willingly under national security risk for 7 years?

Unless, of course, there was never a security risk...
Yes this is true, just some nations contributing a lot more than others.
In the few helicopters ive flown in, the flight crew meticulously accounts for the mass and location of every person and large item on board before taking off.

There is a subtle difference in traditional propaganda and modern troll-influenced versions.

Traditional propaganda wants to be true, it wants to persuade you that what it saying is the truth. It bombards you with consistent messages that, repeated often enough, become true in the collective conscience. That’s the classic XX-century playbook.

Modern techniques are not meant to expose a consistent truth. Statements are often retracted or modified (“i was misinterpreted”). The real aim is to generate an immediate fightback, a virtual altercation, so that your side can claim to be a victim of “the system”; to force opponents into arguments that are based on false premises (and hence “unwinnable”) but that enable dogwhistling your sentiment to people; and to manipulate the media into covering these arguments rather than more substantive issues, effectively performing a DDOS on the capacity of regular people to be informed.

Modern politicians like Trump and Berlusconi thrive on the opposition arguing their proclamations as they were traditional propaganda, because it ends up amplifying the subtexts that establish an emotional bond with their electorate. Truth does not matter (“enough of experts”), not even establishing truth matters; what matters is triggering the response you want out of your opposition, which cascades into positive electoral effects by counterpoint. That’s very troll-like.

Some of these techniques are not entirely new, of course, but they seem to have become the principal instruments of political action now, and that’s novel.
I hate both solutions. Many ThinkPads are okish with just a faint red led. But some also have a pulsing heartbeat blue light on the side when they're sleeping. How is that useful?

On the other hand with Macs now you can't tell what it's doing sometimes. Doesn't turn on, but the haptic feedback works on the touchpad? Is it just waking up from the disk? Is it hanging? Is the battery below minimum? Who knows...

The small red led on x1 carbon is my favourite.

The link I had in my comment was to their 2019-12-30 financial release to the SEC. It has the same 2019 information you have: Net income (loss): (124,842)

But that includes their selling and marketing expenses of over $400M, and their cash and cash equivalents at hand went from $1.97B (2018) to $2.46B (2019).

They are making lots of money and they have good accountants. Astonishing..

> Won't this forwarding/proxying make the internal services not see the actual source IP addresses making access logs less useful?

Not when forwarding. When port forwarding using DNAT only, the internal container or VM service sees the remote IP address.

As you say, HTTP has X-Forwarded-For. Because it is common to have one or more stages of HTTP reverse proxying these days for Internet-facing services for robustness (for example NginX proxy -> Python application), you'll probably have X-Forwarded-For configured already.
This kind of thing is going to play out a lot over the next few years. It's a tough question: how to marry globalisation with the political realities. When China was very poor, it didn't really matter, or perhaps the assumption was that China would liberalise more quickly than it has. But China, while increasingly mature economically, has not developed proper civil society, human rights, freedom of expression, democracy, and so on. Let us hope they do so as quickly as possible, not least for the sake of the Chinese people themselves. And let us work to improve our example and unity too in countries where we do have these things, however imperfectly.

3 weeks from today we’ll likely be at around 1000 deaths per day, not 2200. https://covid19-projections.com/us

The case fatality rate for the virus is going down due to increased testing (identifying more cases) and better treatment (Remdesivir, dexamethasone, and better medical knowledge in general).

So it won’t be as bad as a naive extrapolation might make things look. Still bad though.
Presumably it's about judging what is an acceptable degree of risk vs stripping out all Huawei equipment immediately and effecively crippling the nation's comms infrastrtucture.

I feel like we missed an opportunity to also drop the nickel and round everything to 10 cent intervals and just forget about the extra level of precision entirely.

I imagine I will see this in my lifetime.
Yes, nickles should definitely go. But since money is decimal, dimes make more sense. (10 cents exactly)

But because of quarters you still probably need nickels.

Or you could just go binary use halves, quarters and eighths.

Can this be scaled into building many small cities for self-driving cars training? Could it be used for real scale? Kind of like GTA V is used for training.
The rounding only happens on paper transactions. Since most transactions are made using plastic, where no rounding happens, the impact is terribly small.

You do realize you’re being guilty of exactly what you’re decrying in American politics? You’re over analyzing a minuscule impact that would result from a change to the status quo.

I see you've never been in charge of risk mitigation measures. I do them as part of my job and am tasked with scoring risks and possible mitigation responses. Sometimes the mitigation is so effective that it can eliminate the risk but other times it is practically useless.

Decision makers then need to asses those risks and possible mitigations and weigh them against a million other factors.
Oops, have overseen that one.
