Yeah, it's harder to be an artist because the internet has connected the whole world. The world used to be less connected and as a result, had lots of inefficient redundancy. If you wanted to see a play before, your options are pretty limited. Now, you can watch the best cast in the world from 10 years ago. It's only bad to be an artist now because art has become competitive.

This is awful for the artists, but awesome for everyone who enjoys art. This is truly the peak of art. Think about what you could experience before and what you can experience now. And not only think of yourself, but all of the people in the world who now have access. It's mind-blowing.

Like all industries, competition sucks for the entrenched. Artists can't just write a book anymore or can't just paint something beautiful. The landscape has completely changed. The choice has never been greater and artists must adapt by finding their niches.
Yes, it is an Elsevier journal. Specifically, it is not one of the citation mill fake journals which will publish anything.
How much funding is adequate? I'm so sick of hearing that throwing more money at X is our only solution. Per capita education spending has gone up significantly in the past 30 years.
The idea is that a Small Claims judge in Cali does not expect a lawyer, so, there is no need or expectation to any legal lingo, which by itself can be confusing to normal people, plus the rules of evidence are not nearly as strict as in Superior Court, plus, not that much money is at stake.

The thing that may be daunting about Superior Court is that the judge is supposed to take it easy on pro-se litigants, but at the same time, they are still supposed to be impartial, and can't really act as your own lawyer.
I think the movie Accepted is pretty close :D
I started playing around with gioui the other day. It looks like it has a lot of potential. I was curious if it could redraw efficiently enough to be used as a go equivalent to pygame. Have you experimented with anything that requires a high refresh rate? I guess I need to finish my experimenting and find out for myself.
The article does cover that, in a very brief manner:

> So far, he said, they’ve evaluated 31 percent of the parts – over 30,000 items – and found 252 that are “potential candidates for additive manufacturing.” That’s less than one percent.
I don't think you have answered the question even remotely. What about 3d printing prohibits using parts in aircrafts?

Are you aware "3d printing" can produce many types of materials, including metal, and not just plastic?
Peter Attia just had a fantastic podcast with the lady that runs this at Harvard. Personally for the longest time I was recommended high support shoes. I wore these but always hated them. Didn’t really know why until I started learning a lot more about the minimalist footwear movement and haven’t looked back since.

Now I’m really starting to wonder if this could explain why many of my friends can’t run because of bad knees.

Is it time for Twitter to be considered a utility?

ISPs evolved from “online service providers” which themselves evolved from “bulletin board systems”, and if you consider an ISP to be a utility today, then there was a point where that kind of service became a utility.
I am probably your same age and I have a totally different position. This does not mean I am wrong and you are right, it just only mean your opinion is just an individual take, not a generation voice.

Yes, there are many platforms, but what is happening now is the 90s equivalent to be banned from MSN messenger, MICQ, IRC and Usenet at the same time, sure you could go to an obscure geocities page to express yourself there but it is not the same. Thankfully that did not happen then.

In this specific case is not about lies, it is just unsavory emails and pics, highly unethical but not very different from what all the rags do all the time, it's very disingenous to think Twitter acted on good faith and not because it was politically convenient for its CEO. If the leaks would have been about Trump people would be crying bloody murder about the censorship.

Humans, humans never change.

As a father of three, I often feel I don't have enough time to be a good parent to that many. How does anyone have enough time to be a good parent to 6 children while also working? (That is, assuming "good" means more than "pays the bills and isn't a complete douchebag").
I mean I specifically ask them if they have ever had an interaction they would characterize as positive and most say "no." admittedly I've only talked to 15-20 people about this so my sample could be skewed.

Linking to doxxing is in and of itself doxxing, so you're now doxxing people on Twitter. This does not necessarily apply to all other rules (e.g., linking to someone making death threats wouldn't constitute you making death threats), but it definitely would to some (you're not going to last long linking CP).

Jack's tweets were clear that "simply discussing" is okay, however.
I'm coming around to agreeing with you about the deceptiveness of Tesla's marketing of Autopilot. I recently bought a new car from a non-luxury brand that's quite popular in the US, and a few days after buying it I was a bit surprised to realize that its "dynamic cruise control" and "lane keep assist" features amount to roughly the exact same thing as Tesla's current Autopilot offerings. I am still shocked at how undersold these features were, both by the dealers and the car's literature. I was driving for several days before I realized that, in addition the the dynamic cruise control I was familiar with, a simple button press could get the car to steer itself to stay in its lane.

“Every user terminal pointed at that satellite receives every data packet sent in that beam”
Oh no no no, that sounds bad isn’t it, generally telcos avoid this problem by time and frequency modulation and providing a set of channels to each “terminal” where their data is sent and received, would that be possible for a fast moving “base station” in LEO? or is starlink a completely different system from my understanding.
I do use a D800 with a 50/F1.4 lens for video conf calls.

A lot of the current generation DSLRs do provide XGA, 1024x768 sized preview images when tethered, as, surprise surprise, that is the resolution of their viewfinder/screen. Older cameras, like the D800, only do 640x480, though IMO that is still a vastly superior image for video conferencing.

I've put together what I've found out so far at https://github.com/dognotdog/ptpwebcam/blob/master/CAMERAS.m...

Sony ILSM cameras seem to all do 1024x, DSLRs mostly do 640x480 unless they're from the last 2 or so generation of cameras. I have most complete information for Nikon, as they actually publish specs for the cameras PTP interfaces, unlike Canon or Sony, which have to be reverse engineered.
What has twitter done that would even remotely fall under anti-trust laws?

On the other hand using communications regulation does sound kind of obvious when you use the telephone or previous net neutrality disputes as reference points. Although it is ironic that the current anti-NN FCC now wants to push for platform services in the name of neutrality.
Is there a word for the typical arguments that you see where there are 100 false premises and to even make your case you have to dismantle each one?

The Russia conspiracy theory is laden with these. So many conversations are very tedious because of the number of falsehoods you have to break down before you make any progress. Many folks seem to accept it as a given that troll farms were successful. The posts themselves are laughable.
This going to sound kind of quacky, but I have an ex-girlfriend who worked for this doctor who created a device that cured chronic vertigoo.

The gist is that some cases of vertigo are caused by a loose particle winding up in a fluid canal in the ear. He created this chair that was sort of like the device from the Lawnmower Man, the patient would get strapped in and spun around until the particle dislodged. It worked great, but was a bit too silly (and the company too poorly run) to get investors.

So… maybe just for fun, go outside and do cartwheels, tumble down a few hills like a child? Ride some roller-coasters after quar is over? Couldn’t hurt.
The price is included. If the review is for a cheaper item you know it's probably fake. The fees are relatively high, so astroturfing $100+ items doesn't make sense when just a couple negative reviews tank you.
If all the drug does is change your political beliefs, then yes I would agree. But what if it just gives you more empathy, which then causes you to support social programs, become less nationalistic, and adopt a more open mind towards drug policy? That would probably push you to the left but only incidentally as a result of increased empathy and drug tolerance.
Ha, against "them". All republicans. As a monolith. As if they are a sports team.

So? If I see a charge on my card that I don't recognize I get online and dispute it, close the card, and have a new one sent to me in days... it doesn't cost me a thing.
Well that definitely killed my appetite.
Wouldn't that "hack" just be as easy as sticking an actual stop sign somewhere it's not supposed to be, or removing a real stop sign? That would obviously fool a human driver just as much, and it has actually happened, and killed people.
My goal is to get Avid Pro Tools 7 working on bare metal ROS. Partially successful attempts thus far: install is going smoothly, but the software doesn't launch. I get the nostalgic Blue Screen of Death and usually end up re-installing the entire OS. I assume it is a driver issue since PT of that era (2007-ish) requires a dedicated audio interface (the Mbox).

But I need PT a few times a year, so I'll keep trying.

I can also state that compared to version 0.4.7 (the first one I tried, iirc), the current non-nightly build 0.4.13 ran way more smoothly for me, at least on the GUI side. Issues with mouse stalling are gone, etc.

The "EPIC WIN!" threads on the ROS forum [1, 2] are fun to follow. Based on that, the OS seems to be quite usable for a range of cases.

I also liked the "What's the point?" threads [3, 4]. My respect to the developers for taking the time and patience to explain.

All in all, I keep hoping and installing new versions. I like how clean the system feels -- or, maybe this is the case with many systems when you don't bother to add Internet connectivity. Without wifi, every OS feels quiet and calm.

Greetings to ROS devs!

Does this actually include multiple browser engines, or is its simulation of multiple devices just a matter of resolution presets?
No platform has banned discussion of the story or the reasons for deplatforming it, so that's a moot point. The story is freely available on the internet and anyone who wishes can go read it right now.

They did the right thing in this specific case, seems a little alarmist to launch right into slippery slope prognostications about deplatforming. We're on the slippery slope right now when it comes to electioneering disinformation.

Reading so many comments here quoting the Biden campaign that the meeting did not appear on the official schedule and therefore the story is complete debunked.

Having worked in security for years I can say that almost no one attacks encryption. The fruitful attacks are on the channel and the endpoints. Watch metadata, compromise the endpoints, use the xkcd wrench, follow the money.

Why attack the front door when there is a picture window beside it? Don't attack the tank, attack the fuel supply. The frontal attack is only there to pin the opposition while you compromise the flanks.

Backdoor encryption is security theater. Which raises the question "What is the real goal?". Is the goal to say "We don't know what you did but you encrypted it so we can lock you up."? Then you can fake "encrypted communication" from anyone to anyone and lock up anyone you want until they provide "the key" they don't know. Torture them for the key. Then try them in a show court and hang them.
> are quickly influenced by a lot of stupid theories because they are pretty bad at distinguishing bad ones from good ones;

Actually this is an interesting problem to think about; what, then, did these people believe before they could get access to crazier ideas?

I think you'll find the answer was still, "what they were told to believe". The answer hasn't changed from then to now, we're simply far more aware of being upset at the answer. In a way the problem that was always there has been revealed and some people don't like the loss of control over these people's opinions.

Me personally I'm an advocate of "let go, stop controlling, see how things turn out" and then fix the real problems that appear, rather than creating worse problems by squeezing the play doh too tightly. It has the upside of being morally defensible rather than having the air of "I destroyed your life for your own good."
This is probably cross platform; But what is not cross platform is the "Now Playing" feature of Pixels, that enables ambient songs matching in the background (without the use of internet, you can confirm with airplane mode). It keeps a list of songs that it identifies as well...
Also the recorder app, which is the bomb (transcribing without internet, searchable, editing (cuts and joins audio) and creating a video with transcription). Cool stuff

The issue is that - as anyone involved in online community moderation will tell you - there will always be a group of users who try to push the boundaries and engineer the most plausible edge case situation that maximally violates the rule in spirit while following it by the letter.

If your position is "never remove anything ever", you circumvent this. But when your position becomes, "actually, you can delete only spam, but nothing else" then you're back in the exact same situation we are currently in - some things are removed by judgement call and not everyone is going to agree on every judgement. It completely removes the very core of the argument - that judgement calls should be unnecessary or not allowed.

If you're suggesting crowd sourcing moderation in a democratic fashion, I would contend this both isn't effective and also that by providing systems that facilitate this, companies would be implicitly affecting the "censorship" of their platform. After all, someone has to decide what the voting algorithm is, what the chance of being a spammer before you are blocked is, etc.
> Disagree. Newspapers and ISP follow under this regulation. Social media networks have been able to skirt the issue. If newspapers can get sued for their content and the phone company can't, it only makes sense that this applies to social media companies are held to the same liabilities or protections.

Okay, I'll bite. Should newspapers be liable (that is, able to be sued) for a letter to the editor they publish? How about a comment someone leaves on their website?
Yes, the cyclist interaction came to my mind too. At times in slow traffic you may encounter the same cyclist sharing the same road over and over either in front, on the side, or about to catch-up to your car. Those blind spots are truly ennerving at such times...

Do driverless cars have their kind of blind spots?

How about dealing with potholes? Do they also swerve around to protect suspension or just ram through?
I don't know of any clustering system that works without some sort of leader. In many cases, the leader is you. If your computer dies, you can walk to another one and still deploy software. If you disappear, that's a Big Problem, however.

No modern clustering system is much different. Services aren't killed off if a leader can't be elected. It's just that having all your servers alive but uncontrollable is almost as scary as them being down.
Well, lidar is just a stand-in for the depth perception humans already do. It is absolutely valid for regulators to require that the systems on an autonomous car do depth perception, and provide a standard to prove that the system works well.

I suspect that right now, ML based approaches to depth perception would not pass the test to standards we would like, in practice requiring lidar. But, this would also provide an option to switch to an ML based gets good enough.
> Yes, that's correct. They have to choose what content to allow. That's called being a publisher.

If you're really advocating forcing individuals and small communities to choose between filtering spam and risking lawsuits, we'll have to agree to disagree. Hopefully the chilling effects that would have on speech are self-evident.

> I'm guessing that you are too young to have heard of party lines.

> But yes, telephones were public communication.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what party lines are… no they weren't. How would I listen to a conversation happening between two people outside of my local loop?

> Wishing the president would die of COVID would obviously be allowed under a platform scenario, what law do you think it breaks where a content provider wouldn't publish a wish that the president of the US dies of a disease?

This wasn't a hypothetical; it happened last week. Twitter announced it would suspend the accounts of people wishing the president would die, and the people who would go on to cry foul about the NY Post article were curiously quiet.

> Also, I don't think you know what the term agitprop means.

Yes I do.
A relative of mine had the issue you describe, and was able to fix it by sitting on her bed and quickly falling sideways, thwacking her head into a pillow. I believe this was the doctor's suggestion, and it worked to dislodge whatever was stuck there.
Assange lied about Seth Rich being a source.[1]

Assange has said that he had information on the Trump campaign but decided not to publish it[2].

Assange is accused of taking an active role in hacking/cracking.[3] Also you don't have to be a US citizen to be charged for a crime by the US government.

Any idea that he is an independent journalist is now gone. He's not a force for radical transparency like he originally billed himself to be. He's only concerned about transparency when it benefits him personally or politically and is happy to lie about or coverup anything else.

LIDAR can't reliably see signs from far away and definitely can't read them. It's not clear that there would be any usable signal to act on, especially not one of sufficient confidence to ignore a giant red stop sign in the camera.

This isn't a perception issue. It's an insufficient model for the world, and the software is obviously biased towards obeying critical traffic controls at lower confidence levels. It would be interesting to see what would happen if a (higher) speed limit sign was flashed in the same way.
I don't see how either of those is simpler than

string x = y ? "foo" : "bar";

or if y can take more values than 0 or 1, then that strongly suggests it should become a table lookup:

string x = some_strings[y];

> We're a bit further away from "Cameras working just as well as your vision" than I think you're anticipating.

Well surely that's what we should be testing. Is a self-driving car system safer than a human, or not? You're correct that self-driving car systems lack a "general learning and intelligence model," but they also have several obvious advantages over humans, like potentially better-positioned cameras, a more reliable "attention" system, faster reaction times, potentially more "experience" with different road conditions and scenarios, etc.
Big fan of the channel. I was looking at buying a high speed camera for work and emailed Lauri for advice. He had reciently put up a video comparing the budget friendly Kronos camera to the much more expensive Phantoms. He wrote back a comprehensive email that addressed all my concerns and helped me decide to pull the trigger on buying a Kronos 1.4 camera. That was a few years back and I still have no regrets with the purchase. I am still very grateful that Lauri took the time to help me out.
Mob doesn't care about reason. They don't care about real possibility that Google has banned the account for the right reason and not divulging is the correct thing to do. It is entirely possible that this is due to a much more severe issue like production or distribution of child pornography or similarly egregious criminal activity that they can't divulge other than to the authorities.

It does tend to be the case in the last years. Being affiliated with the party of Trump and McConnell is a choice, and means condoning their behavior to a certain extent. You can be a conservative and not a Republican, but if you call yourself a Republican you're effectively endorsing corruption and hatred.
