This is also why you see announcements of new "breakthroughs" and then nothing further ever happens. The experience is so unpleasant for many people (often compared to slavery) that they leave when they get their degree and never work on that project again. The PI's also get bored and want to do something new to keep building their reputation (so onward to the next grad student or post doc). Patents are sometimes generated, but new ideas are very difficult to take to market successfully so those that can afford to buy or license them do so very carefully (unless they want the patent to attack some competitors product.) In general there is rarely any follow through on new ideas, unless you work on projects with DARPA funding where they insist on "technology transfer", and even then many ideas turn out to be unworkable because they require additional extensive engineering for the practical aspects.
The article does not mention any side effects of low-level lithium. Is it known?
If the quality is functional, then it's not a status differentiator. If it's just about appearance, then it is. The interior materials in a BMW of a similar price are more expensive, more "premium", and the tolerances in the way the interior is assembled are tighter but none of those things affect how the car functions.
>"The drone on its own was going to bomb a car. But the human noticed that there were red roses on the car, so it was a wedding couple, not a terrorist. If a human had not been involved the drone may have killed an innocent just married couple!"

>This scene bothered me. It could EASILY be the other way around: the human wants to bomb and the drone (which has better vision) notices the roses. Or there may be many other ways that a computer could be BETTER than a human

The issue with the rose isn't better vision but better contextualisation, creating a plausible narrative around what is seen that changes how to act. That's something at which humans vastly outperform machines, or even more strongly a skill machines don't at all possess. It could not be 'EASILY' the other way around, at least at the current levels of technology.

A human can always consult a machine for better raw vision or image classification, but no machine right now can substitute a human for these high level judgements. Maybe in a few decades when we have AGI or whatever, but then the distinction between machine and human is moot anyway.
Noise pollution is the worst because of how ubiquitous it is. The stuff that really bothers me is in the <120hz range. Very hard to filter it out. Everyone is an interloper to some extent and some of the noise travels for miles.

Best option for me at this point is to just move further into the country and pray I can find internet. Hopefully Starlink or something similar will eventually unshackle me from the urban center.
I think you may be writing from a perspective of privilege and in the current civil unrest climate, this may seem a little tone-deaf. We're experiencing nationwide protests because a black person tried to buy cigarettes with a fake $20 bill, and he was murdered.

Perhaps things like your age, gender, and wealth may be insulating you, allowing you to think, "these laws don't actually apply to me", and if they did, you could most likely hire a lawyer and fight it.

Many people in this world cannot. Think about how many people are incarcerated for weed-related "crimes". Just because no one is going to go after YOU for them, doesn't mean that these laws don't serve a purpose to screw over others not so fortunate.

Anyways, not to pick on you specifically - I obviously don't know a whole lot about you, but your reply irked me a bit. Cheers.
FWIW, while the JVM isn't completely irrelevant in data, I will say, even as a big user of Spark via Scala, that JVM languages are quickly becoming irrelevant in data. Spark's Scala API is simultaneously the core of the platform, and also very much a second-class citizen that lacks a lot of important features that the Python API has. Easy interop with a good math library, for example.

Similarly, the reference implementation of Parquet may be in Java, but consuming it from a Java language, outside of a Spark cluster, is still a royal pain. Whereas doing it from Python isn't too bad.

Long story short, I think that expecting a project that's just trying to implement a columnar memory format to also muck out the world's filthiest elephant pen is perhaps asking too much. Though perhaps a project like Arrow could serve as the cornerstone of an effort to douse it all with kerosene and make a fresh start.

The author makes the following claims:

> In truth, the terms of the AGPL are pretty easy to comply with. The basic obligations of the AGPL which set it apart from other licenses are as follows:

> - Any derivative works of AGPL-licensed software must also use the AGPL.

> - Any users of such software are entitled to the source code under the terms of the AGPL, including users accessing it over the network such as with their web browser or via an API or internet protocol.

That first claim is debatable at best. Nowhere in the entire document will you find the term "derivative work." Instead, the AGPL forces on the reader a bunch of other terms that may or may not add up to "derivative works."

Other licenses have no problem coming out and using the term. Doing so connects those licenses to a well-understood body of intellectual property law. Not so with AGPL. See the discussion in the book by Rosen (an actual lawyer) for more [1].

So right out of the gate, the AGPL is not easy to comply with.

Oh look, the daily clueless HN aviation thread.

> Airbus can basically fly by itself

So? You still need a CAT III runway to use those capabilities with airliners, and that's a relatively small percentage worldwide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoland

And what happens when the weather is bumpy enough for the autopilot to disengage. Oops - bodies in trees:

"Turbulence. The pilot’s operating handbook (POH) and FD/autopilot flight manual supplements for many aircraft discourage or prohibit use of the autopilot’s altitude hold function during moderate or severe turbulence. Some FD/autopilot systems may default or disengage if certain trim or control limits are encountered during turbulent conditions."

Aviation is the harshest physical and regulatory regime. I wish people would stop with the magical thinking about "no pilot" and "passenger drone" disruption fairy tales. Most airlines are only one fatal accident away from permanent grounding.

And I think most engineers would rather be doing other things than arguing with their employer's legal team. Their legal opinions may or may not be correct, but it doesn't really matter either way, because you are unlikely to change their mind. If Legal says "AGPL is not allowed", you don't waste your time arguing with them or begging for an exception, you just go look for an alternative component with a license they'll accept.

(If, hypothetically, one's employer's legal team were saying things completely outside the norm of the industry, it might be worth making an issue of it – but, banning AGPL is certainly well within the norm of the industry.)

Honestly can we stop saying these type of claims that men are « biologically » made to be breadwinners and woman « biologically » made to do house work? Not only the claims are dubious, but even if they were true doesn’t mean everyone is the same.

For a lot of people including women housework is actually boring and they would rather have a fulfilling career.

Perpetuating the idea that men should work outside and women should work inside really makes life really hard for men and women that don’t think that way.
It's not ridiculous: I'm partly bold so I always shave my head. I tried to remove graduation years from my resume and did not find it's useful; it would only work if ageism was a sin of a few. Now I keep all my cards open: if my age would be the reason I prefer to skip erroneous interviews that hiding it would have brought (wasted 2 months and 4 interviews, Amazon, yeah?).
That's the reason why the original MIT license (X Consortium license) came into being. The developers wanted to get rid of headaches associated with the proprietary license but at least one of the companies involved wouldn't touch making the code public domain. So MIT's lawyers came up with the MIT license.
If there's one thing I've learned in the computer industry, it's that there is no such thing as an unfathomable level of incompetence. All levels of incompetence are not only fathomable, but repeatedly demonstrated. It's amazing that anything works at all.
I'm totally with you. I find GPT-3 incredibly impressive, but people are acting as if GPT-3 is a harbinger of AGI.

This is especially obvious on stuff like lesswrong, where AI is a big part of what they talk about. I tend to agree with the LW/SSC crowd about the negative effects of AGI, but they are being so hyperbolic about GPT-3.
> One option is each site you authenticate to needs to issue you a certificate for your identity on that site. … The other option is you get one certificate from some acceptable trusted CA, or maybe you just mint your own, and then use that everywhere.

There is a third option: You keep a single master secret in the browser, and combine that with the identity of the site (e.g. the domain name) via a secure trapdoor function to create a unique per-site key pair which is then used for public-key authentication with only that site. The site-specific secret is easily recreated from the master, but without the master secret there is no feasible way to correlate two site-specific identities.

This is the approach used by modern (Hierarchical Deterministic) Bitcoin wallets. Older versions used distinct random private keys for every transaction, which as you say made key management rather painful. A single key which can be backed up once and used for any number of separate authentication channels is far more ergonomic.

Middleboxes are indeed a major problem for TLS mutual authentication. IMHO this would be a good reason to favor TLS client certificates for popular web sites—perhaps we could finally get enough pressure to see these MitM-boxes booted off the network.
> Is this common among physicians as a whole?

Some of it is, some of it isn't. The worst doctor you know (okay, maybe not the worst, but close) is doing at least a couple of major journals and his CME. Really, you'd be surprised, but sitting on the other side of the exam table, believe me - it's the exception that doesn't try to stay fresh. That's really not what distinguishes bad from good from great doctors - it's finding a way to integrate and retain all that knowledge so you can apply it in an unexpected clinical scenario, rather than as watercooler talk or on an exam.

I don't re-sit step exams 1/2/3, but I do a lot of ongoing question banks to refresh my boards, and I do go back to refreshing material from step 1/2/3 all the time (which is what I meant about repeating licensing exams- I see now that phrasing was unclear.) You're right that it's largely a hurdle and a stress, but that's because as a med student you're drinking from a firehose and your career depends on it. Studying it at my leisure, I can dive into things as deep or as superficially as is interesting at the time, and the broader my knowledge gets the more insights I ultimately glean from going back to those fundamentals. Memorizing biochem pathways when studying for boards is hell; refreshing biochem at your leisure just to better understand and retain is... well, if not pleasant, it's certainly not hell.

CME is required to keep your license, but that's not a problem that I have - there are multiple sources of materials that grant CME credits that I already do "for fun", so I've got an over-abundance of credits. I hunt-and-seek interesting CME courses to stay abreast of interesting things. I went into medicine for love of medicine, and the idea of getting so narrow into my niche that I lose sight of all of those other exciting things would be a tragedy to me.

As much as I appreciate the praise, honestly, you'd be surprised by how much even your least-impressive physician puts into staying up to date. There's just so much to know that the moment you stop your knowledge base evaporates.
It's hard to imagine a cheaper test than this! I'm not sure I like the sociological conditioning or normalization that would happen with large-scale dog "testing" rollouts through society. But I can't deny that something like this would allow a lot of life to go back to normal and that would be a very good thing.
Now if we arranged them on a 2d grid, could use 4 cards, then the different shapes (even discounting the similar looking shapes) would get you to >1000. You'd have to allow more than just the standard tetrominoes.
That's not how it works. If you moved to NZ (or any other country with a US tax treaty) you would basically pay an amount equal to the greater of the two tax bills.

You should do more research if this is an option you're seriously considering.
> Do search engines (or really just Google) still penalize sites that are pure SPAs on that fact alone?

Google says that they don't. They use an evergreen googlebot, which is the latest (or thereabouts) release of headless Chrome browser; and it waits for the scripts to load and executes them. You can watch Martin Splitt's talk from the recent web.dev live event for the latest updates.

Server-side rendering is still important if you care for other search bots or if you want to share your site's pages on social media (with page preview).
Forever is a very long time (and therefore a very bold claim for any SaaS app to make).

No, in the worst case the government would shoot the parents of kidnapped children, and lose its legitimacy in the eyes of the people who it governs. There's no case in which a government would be able to continue to do that with impunity until enough children die to convince every potential kidnapper that kidnapping is a hopeless business.
If they didn’t want files to be shared with them, Google employees are empowered to fix this in ways non-employees are not. If they show up in the share list, one can only presume they consented to this, as there is a way to opt-out; there should be a menu to configure this setting as well, and that is a good point to make, but it is a different, related point.
Wasting space in Google products is comically easy too, because it’s so “integrated” that you can have crap everywhere and may or may not know how to get rid of it.

I tried uploading a title image to my YouTube channel, and somehow doing so created an entire Google Photos account (even though the channel image is not a photo!). I dragged-and-dropped several replacement images because the YouTube UI for layout preview/cropping is so terrible that I didn’t get it right the first few times. Except the images are not replaced, they’re added, and there is nothing in YouTube to delete them. You have to go into Google Photos, and several screens later “delete” your “photos” of useless uploads. Except they’re not deleted, they’re in the “Trash”; etc. etc.

These are basic things that wouldn’t be stupidly hard to do if anyone there had any power over, or concern with, the full flow of using their products.

“Science of investing.” Warren Buffett is rich because he bought companies and removed redundancies / restructured management, therefore making companies more profitable at the cost of decreased diversity of ownership of businesses. It’s a similar tack as globalism, where “stuff” gets slightly cheaper while jobs are shipped away.

Correct.

We don't gain or lose patients by it; the most recent changes in the field are often so far from settled clinical practice that they're years from anything that would be considered malpractice; we don't get reimbursed better or for it; patients largely can't tell the difference, so it doesn't change your referral stream.

It does little-to-nothing for our careers. We stay up out of pride, and out of commitment for providing our patients with good care.

It partly can be explained through white privilege, as the law enforcement and judicial systems are designed systemically to screw over minorities. Racial profiling is a thing, and if you're black, a police officer can use whatever excuse they want to pull you over while driving, and if they can't find anything, they'll invent something (for example: planting drugs on you). When that happens, you're life is literally in danger. Many examples of this can be found - one just has to look at the racial makeup of the US prison system (systemic slavery). It goes really deep. The US is kind of in a state of being acknowledging this in a fundamental way, with the movement to defund the police.

>> has an automated freight line.

I didn't know about that, but is it a "freight line" or a "freight train"? If it is the former, a dedicated line used only by the automated train, then it isn't all that removed from disneyworld: a single-use train on a dedicated line. And Australia is notoriously flat.

I'm from the west coast, where driving a heavy train through the mountains is serious business, but disasters can happen anywhere. The latest epic disaster in Canada was caused by a train that was unmanned at the time. It was parked.

"> which does seem pretty dumb if true
Why is that? "

Because governments have no right to ask private groups to hand over arbitrary, speculative bits of information.

They can ask for specific things relating to specific matters with a court order, but broad searches for loose search terms is ridiculous and probably unconstitutional.
>I have many other examples but a quick search on the internet can show how many contract-related discussions happen between large companies, suppliers, local governments & so on

It would be surprising if these negotiations were accomplished within a small number of months. I am a small company (smaller than Matasano) and have had my contract accepted, but it is a non-trivial effort. There will certainly be items that come back, then they go to my lawyer followed by more discussion.

In the past, I did a contract negotiation with a very large (non FAANG) company and it took months, and required me to recruit internal advocates for my position.
Your formula is not correct. If you want to do it that way, it should be assets - liabilities - equity = 0.

Think of it this way. When you start a company, you invest $100. For the company accounting, that is $100 in the bank account/asset and $100 in equity. $100 - 0 - $100 = 0

Now you take a loan for $100. Now you have $200 in the bank account, a $100 liability, and $100 in equity. $200 - $100 - $100 = $0.
Well, for one that would require GPLv4. And another one is that if you "fix" it down too much some smart-aleck comes around and says "but I was actually just running it and the results of the computation were beamed into people's brains, so they never knew about the software I was using and so I shouldn't have to release my source code". That being said, I think they should really update their Q&A; one personal one that I would really like revisited is the GPL and the App Store.
