> The hypothesis underlying the new model, called STAMP (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model andProcesses) is that system theory is a useful way to analyze accidents, particularly system accidents.In this conception of safety, accidents occur when external disturbances, component failures, ordysfunctional interactions among system components are not adequately handled by the controlsystem, that is, they result from inadequate control or enforcement of safety-related constraints onthe development, design, and operation of the system[0]

People are also consistent because of the pipe operator which was there since the very beginning. So everyone expects functions to work with chaining correctly. That's why you get params that get changed a lot as the first parameter etc.
Yeah, I live a block from my grocery store in SF, and I still only go 1-2 times a week unless I need something fresh for today / missing ingredient, which is rare since I plan ahead and only buy things that will last at least a few days.

Living in a dense city like SF is great for somethings, but it sucks when you want to leave, and paying almost $400/month for parking isn't good either. Both lifestyles have their advantages and I think it really comes out to personal taste and choice.

Yep, unfortunately usage based billing is not possible for us. We can't use any usage based cloud services at all due to abuse and attacks - can't even host a simple avatar or button images on S3 without someone trying to infinite loop curl them to blow through budget abusively. On top of that, if you're going to reverse proxy the site, your service will probably be hit repeatedly with 300G+ attacks.

Do you have an email (ideally one that doesn't pipe into a ticket system)? Maybe I can share some possible/creative attacks we've seen that you can improve your service with, even if it's out of budget for us.

Well, I'm not really all that concerned with what the leftists do in literature. I'm concerned with what they do in power. If we don't actually have any in power in the US, then the only answer is "no data".

(And "literature" is a pretty poor way to try to refute the claim, which is what leftists do "in practice".)

I agree that the words "fascist" and "fascism" have practically been worn out by misuse and overuse, but Trump has mutated the Republican Party into something that, to my eyes, meets most common definitions of Fascism, and looking at the wikipedia article you mention seems to confirm my thoughts on this: they describe fascism as "a form of far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalism" and mention protectionism, and economic interventionism, and opposition to liberal democracy, among other things. I would be interested to hear how the Trump administration is different in concept from the description outlined by the wikipedia page.
Either more fuel or patience, and I think patience is going to win.

There are interplanetary 'highways' where you can spend barely any deltaV to go everywhere, provided you have patience.

Probes are already transiting Earth and Venus multiple time to get slingshots to outer solar system.

The ideal space base is a manufacturing hub in the asteroid belt. Where deltaV to go to anywhere else is ~0 and deltaV to launch stuff from base is also ~0. That's the only way to have star wars sized ship. Launching one from gravity well of the Earth or even Moon is just lunacy.

People are free to complain. But the challenge is (at least in CA) is that the most minor complaints will hold up desperately needed housing projects.

Legitimate complaints (e.g. this will mess up traffic) are fine. "Neighborhood feel" complaints (e.g. this building is too tall, it doesn't fit the neighborhood character) should be met with "thanks for your feedback, but that's not a good enough reason".

Of course if there is widespread consensus among voters on how they want their city to be developed, fine. But right now, the current system allows a handful of very vocal opponents to development to derail new housing.

I don't see why we even need a name for gender, men and women can fulfill each others gender roles just fine without being trans so it isn't like gender is important. Why not just use man/woman for sex and just ignore gender completely? Wouldn't that be better?
It sounds like you should pursue a PhD ;)

Yeah, I agree with you - those are important questions I wish we had better answers to.

I'm early into a research career though not in these fields and I'm starting to observe that knowing the problems that need solving/questions that need answering is often trivial when compared to actually solving the problems or answering the obvious question. That might be part of the issue here too, just my 2c.

A lot of what's spent in the US goes towards private rents. Money that goes towards rents is a waste. Most don't see it because it's everywhere. Either directly or indirectly. You pay more per sqft for an office, but you also pay more per hour for labor, because the guy you hires also pays rent[1]. Things cost more because the supply chain has to pay rents.

[1] Consider a lot of workers half their income goes to rent.

> 2. Intel sees AArch64 as a serious competitor. AMD may be an enemy, but at least an enemy on the same architecture. Better to strengthen x86_64 than to give AArch64 too much momentum in HPC. (The #1 supercomputer in TOP500 is AArch64 [1])

Historically, this makes the most sense to me: AMD has pooped the bed before, and Intel was there to pick up the pieces and reclaim its crown. I think there's a legitimate worry that if ARM takes enough marketshare from x86/x64, that Intel will never get it back.

> 3. Write Zen kernels, make them slightly less efficient than the Intel ones. They still beat OpenBLAS et al. in benchmarks, even on Zen. But to HPC customers they can show that Intel CPUs are faster.

IMO, this is more on AMD than Intel. If Intel's kernel is faster than the open alternative, then Intel is doing AMD a favor, even if they're not doing the absolutely best job they possibly could.
I think at a minimum, agents are programs that clients submit to the server. The server runs the agent with a very limited API and likely as a pure function (lang could be JS or wasm maybe). The agent could run in response to events on the server (like webhooks), or in response to requests coming in from the client.

Elixir is what I was thinking of for much of the above, unfortunately, I only used it fairly briefly and so I was going largely on memory and some of that is likely more Swift than Elixir which shares some of that.

I did not call him racist so don't put words in my mouth. I said that he sounded like he was scared of Black Americans which I think is rather obvious from what he wrote.

Seems like the way to disentangle the two is to look a the people replacing those that move out. If they're roughly the same economically then it's the churn of being a poor person in a capitalist society if the income is going up particularly if it's a sharp increase and rents are rising then it's gentrification.

Agents should use a limited, non-Turing-complete model of evaluation. They could combine API calls locally and run simple FSMs which are easy to formally check for e.g. absence if loops. This could save round-trips without needing to sacrifice general orthogonal APIs.

Imagine that you could give an app server a formula to combine several API calls, much like you give an SQL server a formula to join and filter tables.

Also, you can easily cache agents by calculating a hash of their source, and call them repeatedly without resending their bodies, much like "prepared statements" work in SQL databases.
As someone who lives in Houston, the simple reason there is sprawl is because its flat and land is cheap. This makes it easy to live on large lots or on small average. It's also hot, so people spend more time indoors and drive everywhere.
Skimming the sections on linear models, I was surprised not to see a discussion of model fit, beyond just plotting predicted values against observed ones. Basic predictive models like linear and logistic regression are simple to construct mechanically. It's a substantially more involved task to quantify their degree of fit and, better yet, prove that the methods are optimal and unbiased (in a statistical sense).
Not to mention scratching their groins. Some kind of immune response is involved in that, I'm sure. No need for the free clinic to get it cured when you're paid as much as an MLB player.
I love the fact that tech is so cheap that tinkerers can do some interesting things now. Light painting has been gaining from the simple use of a light source to illuminate something for long exposure photography for a while now. However, the creative means of lighting with the new toys that cheap tech is allowing for has made it even more fun to play. Also, the sensitivity of the new camera sensors make have helped.

I'm old school, my favorite light source for light painting is the full moon. Everything looks daylight until you notices the give tell-tales like smoothed out water to indicate long exposure, or night stars in the blue sky[0]. If timed correctly, you can get a moon strike which is where it starts while the moon is below horizon, and then the image starts to change as the moon rises[1]. I wish I had a link of live action video shot with nothing but moonlight.

If you have an actual budget, you can bring out enough lights to colorfully light up the side of a mountain[2]. (I have nothing to do with the making of this video)

Or option C: greed.

Any way you slice it, nuclear deterrence, missile defense, containment theory and more generally any initiative motivated by the fear of imminent nuclear holocaust and the Red Menace were huge windfalls for industrial corporations from the end of WWII onward.

It was an effective way to siphon huge amounts of money from the postwar federal coffers for corporations that had made bank during the war, but were now left to justify why the government should continue shoveling money at them.

Now, this may not be the case for Houston's interchanges in particular, but it was certainly the case for many such endeavors going forward for decades. See also: SDI ("Star Wars"). And of course, there were other factors like suburbanization/white flight and the ascendant automobile industry. But all of these potential motivators were (are?) very entangled and hard to fully extricate from one another.

Look, I don't at all think you're trying to get away with something -- I think you're caught up in weird rule that was intended to plug the loophole of "selling a stick of gum that comes with a free bottle of water." From the reviewer's perspective they see that when personal trainers sell their services to clients they're also selling your/their white-label app. To Apple that's a sale of digital goods and they want their pound of flesh. The fact that it's bundled with an IRL service doesn't seem to matter to them.

You might be able to get away with skirting this rule if your white-label app is just a client to a fitness tracking service. Then it should fall under the same rules as Netflix and other "reader" apps.
Don't forget lack of zoning and state commitment to building highway/freeway infrastructure.

It's partially a collective action problem. Since everyone has pretty much committed to doing nearly everything via car the marginal cost at either the individual or system level of adding one more car (side) trip is very low.

pyimgui tries to be a 1 to 1 wrapping of Dear ImGui, including the immediate mode paradigm.
DearPyGui wraps Dear ImGui, provides a simulated traditional retained mode api, includes additional widgets and add-ons (plots, file dialogs, images, text editing widget, etc.), adds asyncronous support, addition items to the canvas, additional debug tools, etc.

Ultimately it tries to provide a complete package. Not a 1 to 1 wrapping.
It may not be that they intend to divide. It may be the inevitable result of their current strategy. If the way you tell people to think about society is to categorize people by race, sex, gender, etc., then that's... not very unifying. If the central point of your message is that certain groups treat members of other groups badly, that's not just not unifying, that's dividing. (It may be necessary dividing, but it's still dividing.)

Ah, yes, iPad Safari has the same problem but no option to show the tab bar with a single tab. If you hit the "show tabs" button in the corner you can drag it back from one Safari instance to the other, but it'll open up a new empty tab to replace it. You have to take the other copy of Safari back to full screen (to separate it from the new copy) and then use the app switcher to kill the accidental one.

I don't love this either, it's my biggest complaint about iPad's multitasking system.
I agree. Though not sure about the non-Turing-complete-ness. How about each agent has a budget. Agents that blow the budget get dropped.

The private airport idea is interesting. From a pilots perspective, one of the major roadblocks to these systems being widely integrated into the current infrastructure is managing traffic. If they’re largely operated separately from manned traffic that eliminates nearly all of those difficult problems.

The comment about edge cases causes me to think about weather. I don’t think many non-pilots have a good appreciation of how much complex decision making goes into operating in and around inclement weather. Fuel constraints, airport constraints in terms of equipment, weather, and traffic, unreliable forecasting, etc. Theres a lot that goes into it and each aircraft begins making decisions that involve several people, including the on-board pilots.

It seems like you can have one operator for 5-10 aircraft but then suddenly the weather rolls through and every single one of those aircraft needs individual attention and planning. Did you save much by still having an operator/craft? Or do you need more stringent weather requirements to operate these aircraft? Or do you try to have the best of both worlds and eventually the autonomous systems just crash themselves in non-populous areas absent other guidance.

If these systems are largely grounded every time there’s inclement weather I can’t imagine the people who advertise “the world, on time” are going to be too keen on operating them at scale. Dispatch-ability is a major factor in these types of operations.
In the beginning stages of the Cold War and the start of urban sprawl the threat wasn't rockets but bombers. ICBMs weren't created till '57 and took over the strategic setup for killing everyone in the years after that, so there's a window there for sprawl to be a legit(ish) survival/mitigation strategy.
No, I mean, those are very reasonable things to be upset about, I definitely get it, and it shouldn’t be like that no matter the machine. If it’s ok’ed to run the version, it should run without a hitch.

There is nothing professional about avoiding a topic for the sake of appearances. Level3 put out details knowing others in the industry will discuss and speculate based on that information. They could have witheld details such as flowspec and edge routers bouncing but they did not, it's perfectly professional to discuss speculative details of someone elses outage that affected your customers based on details they chose to make public.

In infosec for example, it's extremely common to speculate about a vulnerability based on details in the CVE. Entire news articles are based on such speculation. Like I said, you are giving too much weight to optics and appearances. I would like to see anyone actually at Level3 complain about this post.

The Truman Doctrine was March 12, 1947, and that's when containment was announced, signaling the beginning of the Cold War. This film is from 1947.

The War Department wanted unity against Communists, and made this video to try and get people off of other divides. You could be right, could be more high-minded; but I'm guessing this is a "anyone but commies or nazis" sort of ideal.

(Un)flattening is an isometry, it doesn't change lengths of lines. If you flatten a polyhedron and draw a straight line between two points, it is the shortest path between them (property of Euclidean space). Now fold the surface back, it remains the shortest path (and the geodesic).
