I highly recommend "Probability Theory" by E.T. Jaynes. Don't be fooled by the generic title - the book is my Bible for reasoning with uncertainty.

> In my opinion, this book is a required read for anyone who wishes to understand precisely how the scientific worldview is, in a mathematically defensible sense, the best possible worldview, the one that lets us optimally use evidence to develop an interlocked Bayesian network of evidence supported beliefs that can change and evolve as the evidence is accumulated. It also shows the critical connections between physics and statistical mechanics and Shannon's theorem in computational information theory, laying the foundation for a fair bit of modern physics as it demonstrates that physical entropy and information entropy are very much one and the same thing, from a certain point of view.
I'm always torn about articles like this. The fact the headline is a lie makes me want to flag it but the content itself is interesting enough I would have read it without a clickbait title. I wish HN had guidance on this topic.

I have about 20k mile on autopilot and it has gotten much better.
Thank you for the clarification. I can see this being a pretty blurry boundary between the two but I think the distinction does make sense. In one sense I wouldn't really call native advertising lazy, but it seems like that is a defining feature of submarine ads (if we use "lazy" in this specific way).
These exist in the US too. My favorite in Seattle is called Archipelago, the chef tells a story about each dish when serving them.
You know what I only realised now from your comment what "lame" in "that's lame" actually means. It tells you how easy it is to create certain associations without someone realising.

Mind you I don't use that's lame, not a native speaker and probably also too old for that phrase.
How come they don't use artillery to launch? Does it damage the product? Too hard to aim? Wonder if you could ship drugs by just mortar with radio transmitter embedded. Way greater capacity and practically undetectable at landing site unless you have the receiver.
I disagree. I think in an ideal world this is true but the reality is that the bar for security is exceptionally low for industries that aren't traditionally software industries (not that software is excluded). When the stakes are just accounts and transactions that can be reversed the situation is different, when the stakes are life and death, in the real way, I don't think it's unwise to exercise caution. Let someone else take the risk of cyber terrorism and if they go a decade without any hiccups then leapfrog them. There's no reason to expose consumers to these sorts of risks just because it gets the futurists hard.

I was driving a 22 year old SUV until it got recalled for a faulty airbag. Was too old for them to do a replacement so they crushed it and paid cash. It was in top condition and I reckon I could’ve given it another five years easily. It’s nice to occasionally drive a newer car but I also just enjoy not really stressing too much about keeping it scratch free or my kid trashing the interior, etc.
I haven't found it that bad, I started with most assists on, then figured out one thing at a time by googling or YouTube or watching a stream.

Like, flaps, what are they? Oh, generate lift, used in takeoff and landing. Oh, the cabin is marked with settings for to and land.

The autopilot was a similar adventure. Step one, turn it on, crash. Step two, I can figure out hold altitude and heading settings, now I can take my hands off and Google the rest of the settings while the plane flies itself. Garmin has a manual you can reference.

Right now I'm working on figuring out autopilot approach and landing and nav data stations.

Remember, it doesn't matter if you've survived 100 Chernobyls, 50 Tsunamis or 20 Covids, all it takes is one bad one to wipe you out of the gene pool(kill). The worse is called worse precisely because it did not happen until then. Yes, testing helps but only when you know what to test, a hastily designed system where the workers are put under pressure and made to ssh into a fleet(See: https://twitter.com/atomicthumbs/status/1032939617404645376) to fix bugs, is not a mere matter of testing. It is a matter of culture, autonomy, prudence, care, and add other things that would help build a well-designed system from ground up.
Simple way to think about it is plus. Sum plus sum increases, union plus union does nothing.

1. A union type is like int | double. It means the value is one of a set of possible types. And it's a true set: `int | int | double` is indistinguishable from `int | double`.

2. A sum type is a new type built from a list of other types, which assigns a 'tag' to each possible list element, like a Rust enum. The tags are not themselves types: they are like a struct field name. It's quite possible to have a sum type with N tags, each wrapping `int`.

So with this understanding Rust has sum types but not union types, while TypeScript has union types but not sum types.

We had a a game in Germany which was called "wer hat Angst vorm schwarzen Mann", which means "who is afraid of the black man". I remember that in my mind it was always a chimney sweep, I only realised at some point as an adult that it's actually an incredibly racist name for a game.
I would hope they might try to recover from it if I'm in orbit and it's the system I need to get back down to earth. At least give it that old college try instead of just saying "welp you're dead"

Tips for Using NumPy for Efficient Image Processing
In my layman opinion the correct solution would be a directed-energy weapon. The most obvious one that comes to mind would be a laser (or an array of lasers, for your dozen-fast flying drone scenario). Imagine the large collection of lights that point multi-directionally behind rockstars at concerts; except, in the future, these are all defensive lasers to defend against a worst-case scenario. Ha, would probably be very impractical except for defending heads of state and the like.

>Simply, if a restaurant offers 20 different dishes, it means each dish gets 20x less attention than if you had only one choice. Less fresh ingredients, less time perfecting the recipe and preparation. Serving only one dish makes things simpler and the restaurant is going to spend more energy making sure it is worth it.

One of my favourite places has a decently sized menu (would say 40 items on there including starters/sides/deserts) while they aren't "the best" at anything, it's really good and I love the atmosphere.

I like the flexibility and that I can invite anyone there since the selection is varied and quality is reliable. I can't call my vegan sister to a smokehouse even if their ribs are the best I tried, can't take my wife to a fish restaurant but my friends could be in the mood for fish, I have no clue what my in-laws will want to eat when I have to take them somewhere, etc.

What really cemented this for me was actually looking at spacetime diagrams. Light moves at 45 degree angles on a spacetime diagram, but EVERYTHING moves at the same speed on these diagrams.

I don't know any category theory whatsoever. What happens in your example if A = B? Would it have two morphisms or just one?
The later... I ask because every time I read about some thought experiment, it turns out to be an impossible experiment.

In a recent story I asked in general and others told me that there were thought experiments that became proper experiments. But it seems that they were somewhat different, more like pre-experiments. When something gets stuck in the thought experiment category, it's more like a no-experiment.

I have no problem admitting that this kind of ellucubration is useful to anticipate problems. But extracting conclusions from an impossible setup? That's like asking what would happen if an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

If they didn't wish to go ad-free, they could browse different things to move their ad bubble around.

I would be happiest when the ads I get are way off target and the people LinkedIn suggests are complete strangers.

The latter I've never really managed, but the former is not that difficult: at one point my ad stream consisted largely of luxury condos in St. Petersburg and bank accounts in Cyprus.

I took an online hearing test long ago and now ads are convinced I'm a fair bit older than I actually am. I'm not sure what would be most effective to get the trackers to assign a younger cohort, but in imagining generational browsing tells, I suppose cartoon nostalgia is probably one of the best proxies for birth year/location.

It really is only a spec to adhere to to get rid of some of the more obvious errors. it certainly doesn't cover everything. Ada is definitely a better language. Also if rust ever settles down I think it would be great for aerospace 178b and other standards for aircraft. Also cars :) . I'd be surprised if some car companies aren't using it or at least researching it. It's still changing so fast though. I've only ever met one engineer who actually liked coding in Ada.
If you weren't being sarcastic, then I completely misread your comment and am sorry.
Today I want to answer a question that was sent to me by Ed Catmull who writes:

"Twice, I have read books on relativity by PhDs who said that we travel through time at the speed of light, but I can’t find those books, and I haven’t seen it written anywhere else. Can you let me know if this is right or if this is utter nonsense."

I wonder, was this question asked by the Ed Catmull (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Catmull)?

I'm pretty sure they have videos related to this question.

Without knowing what the actual answer to survive the filter might be, it's worth noting that across the entire universe, it's surely statistically unlikely that not a single species has made it through to the other side.

If they have broken through, and assuming that they would view as a positive the breakthrough of other species through the "great filter" (and hence the collective uplift of intelligent life in the universe) - there's an implication that maybe what is required for breakthrough cannot - by definition - be transferred (in a similar way that children have to learn some lessons for themselves no matter what your parenting style).

Either that, or they haven't gotten to us yet, or they're species-ist and quite happy to be the only ones past the filter.
"Autonomous" in this instance means "able to maneuver without a driver", not "able to make independent decisions without the help of an external system".
I agree to an extent. I think security obligations are good but they should be practical. I know the privacy activists will hate this, because it's something that works, but if we tracked users irl and if banks already have the ability to reverse transactions then the stakes are much lower (because they would be able to identify theft) than something like remotely updated cars or medical devices which can be patched but not before a lot of people have died. Software is advancing rapidly in a way that's valuable, the goal should be to preserve that except when it kills people in the real way.
Here is another explanation. In Newtonian physics lots of common quantities are represented by vectors: position, momentum, force, the magnetic potential, etc. Other important quantities are represented by scalars: time, energy, power, the electric potential, etc.

One of the deep insights of special relativity is that these scalar and vector quantities are actually unified into a single, new entity called a "four-vector". Each four-vector has three spatial components and one temporal component. So in the two lists I wrote above, each scalar quantity gets paired with the corresponding vector quantity: time & position; energy & momentum; power & force; the electric & magnetic potentials. In Newtonian physics a rotation in three-dimensional space will transform one component of your position vector into another (say, some of your x-component becomes a bit of y-component). In special relativity observers moving at different velocities are related by a similar kind of transformation of their four-vectors --- a bit of the time component mixes with the spatial component and vice versa.

But what happens if you do this with velocity? Velocity is a vector. It's corresponding temporal quantity is a bit weird: change in time per change in time. But it's a little more subtle than that, because it's actually the change in coordinate time per change in proper time. Basically this is the ratio between how fast you observe a clock tick in an observer's reference frame relative to how fast they see it tick within that reference frame.

But the really weird thing about this particular four-vector is that it always has a magnitude of exactly the speed of light. No matter how fast you go, the magnitude of your four-velocity does not actually get larger. All you do by going faster is just mix some of the time component of your four-velocity into the spatial components. (This is why the clocks of moving observers tick more slowly.) And when you slow down, you just mix some of the spatial components into the temporal component. And when you're at rest the spatial components are all at zero, so the only component of your four-velocity is in the temporal direction. So at rest your four-velocity points directly in the future with a magnitude equal to the speed of light. This is what is meant by the statement that we travel through time at the speed of light.
And AFAICS, the sum of this 'base money' + other expanding groups of money-like assets is where the M2, M3, etc. definitions of money go to.
Meanwhile, the benefit of a system like metric is decimals rather than fractions. It is trivial to change the resolution of a measure or number.

E.G.

The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second.

The speed of light is 299,792.458 KM per second.

The speed of light is about 300 M meters per second.

I have a (likely silly) question for anyone well versed in low level CPU stuff. §20.7 says there's a stack engine that optimizes manipulation of the stack pointer. Does this only apply to the dedicated hardware register (ie %rsp) or to other registers as well?

(Potentially related, assuming it's of benefit are modern compilers smart enough to repurpose %rsp (is this even allowed?) if I use a block of memory as a stack inside a hot loop?)

> Now, of course there is a difference between time and space, so that can’t be all there is to space-time. You can move around in space either which way, but you cannot move around in time as you please.

Not really. The instant you move in space, you also move in time, and since everything is moving and there is no fixed frame of reference, technically you can never move back to the same spot where you started.

So even though it might appear to us, at our perception scale, that we can move back and forth in space, in reality whenever we move, space changes and so it's just like moving in time, there is no going back.

It is certainly not indisputable thar solar and wind are far cleaner than nuclear, if you include their externalities such as manufacturing and disposal. Nuclear is cleaner by far than coal or gas. It’s cleaner than solar or wind, though not by a lot. We have the death counts to prove this. I would so much prefer a few nuclear plants to a million acres of windmills. Where are we going to put them when they wear out. In what landfill will they fit?

Nintendo games with 4+ player multiplayer is actually a great time with family and friends. In general I think Nintendo makes social games that are intended for the living room, which is harder to find on the other consoles, and almost impossible on PC. I say this as someone who mainly plays on PC and has LAN parties at home.

Consoles can be social devices. PCs can be isolating devices.
