Honestly I don't feel like the iMessage network effect exists much at all anymore. Sure, I use it frequently for communicating with other iPhone people, but I just as easily communicate with others using WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal.

In fact I generally prefer Telegram to Apple Messages.
Doesn't every car come with a, "if you crash from not paying attention, we are not liable"

The promise of self driving isn't that you can not pay attention, at least not yet.

In fact the user experience of FSD is that you must continue to pay attention.

Having an engaged driver monitoring the FSD system is _part of how we develop this tech_ it's how it advances, from human guidance and intervention on error.

Beta users are effectively the trainers for the last-mile aspects of FSD that are still in development.

As long as Tesla makes this clear, I don't see a problem with it. The problem will always be the people who don't RTFM or who don't follow the rules and guidelines, and win Darwin awards for the hubris/negligence.

I homeschooled my sons. They were better off socially without being bullied and what not at school.

The argument that homeschooled kids don't learn social skills is old and tired.
I have always been impressed how well he presented information. I will miss him so much.
Slow beyond belief, sparse, and difficult for me to navigate changes. :-( A lot of work still needs to be done on this.
In my experience, $100b companies tend to be owners of things and not renters. Why would you pay multiple times for something when you were the ones who took the biggest risk in creating it?
I remember the 3-4 months I used my copy of Flim-Flam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flim-Flam! to take down my relatives' delusions.

I guess I was probably as insufferable for them as they were for me, so thank you James Randi for helping me let them all know what's what!
Every other day I seem to read stories about accounts people have lost access to with Google and very little support to fix it.

Example from the other day, I noticed someone who lost access to their YouTube account but no real support to fix it. I'm dropping this here in case anyone from Google ever does read these discussions: https://twitter.com/MatRicardo/status/1318540789719486471
So in your model of how the world should work, advertising is banned? Companies are only allowed to offer paid or donation-only services? And most content online ends up being locked behind paywalls as a result?
Note that Turing complete means undecidable. An algorithm that can learn any program that can be computed by a Universal Turing Machine must, in the worst case, search an infinite program space. So, even if a Neural Turing Machine can learn arbitrary programs (I haven't read the paper so I can't say) it might need to consume infinite resources before learning any particular progarm.

In short- Turing completeness is no guaranteed path to AGI. Assuming an "AGI program" exists, it is hidden away in an infinity of almost identical, but not quite, programs.
Only the rich should be allowed leave their home town!

The only ones of those that mean anything to me alone are 'bike', 'homo', and 'telly'. The latter two are abhorrent; I wouldn't use them either. 'Bike' I might rarely say, but isn't an example of this anyway. ('bi' is, and I'm aware that's used - with different meaning to 'bike' of course' - but I'd make the same comment as for 'trans'.)
No. And thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Nevertheless, the issue does need to be addressed in some way...and not necessarily in a top-down fashion.
> > • It’s highly instructive, in a way that using a parser generator is not.

Top-down parsers are nice, but even better would be not to have to write them each time you need to parse something. Also top-down parsers don't handle (well) some of useful grammar constructs, and it's tedious to remember always formulate grammars in a certain way. Next, grammars are for many people more convenient to work with than actual parser code. So parser generators have their place.

> To quote Feynman: “What I cannot create, I do not understand”

And this can be true for parser generators. After you've figured how to do that you could be tempted to never use external tools, and have a nice jump from, say, arbitrary CFG to a generalized LR, while controlling all the parts in between.

> • It’s not actually difficult!
Considering that something as simple and limited as JSON has been a source of security vulnerabilities from ambiguities in the spec, thanks but nope. Declarative definitions of a grammar help identify those ambiguities... and if the grammar is defined separately from its interpretation, it opens the door to invisible ambiguities that can become another vector for vulnerabilities.

Unless you have provable implementations (great if you do!), declarative grammars meaningfully limit points of failure.
Yep, now I have to unplug my computer everytime I install Windows.

Thankfully Proton is removing my requirement to use Windows.
While this is true, even if you exclude that the numbers are quite good. You are also not talking about operational profit, growth in that is often the preferred number to look at.

And because of the amazing stock growth a huge amount of stock options had to be payed. This was a p
eak payment and will go down again next quarter.

A 20%+ margin on automotive without credits is quite fantastic actually, and that really is the core buissness people should be paying attention to. What you mention as 'core buissness' includes building multiple new factories at the same time, its not really comparable with other companies in this buissness.

With Q4 we are looking at a further increase in overall sales, only slightly growing operational spending, and a drop in SGA. Q4 will finally stop the 'its only credits' storyline.

That said, even years after people said credits will soon be over, the reality is that they are gone continue to increase as Tesla delivers more vehicles they actually get more credits, even when the value per credit goes down. We have been hearing the 'credit end next year' story so often that its almost a meme now. With auto makers continuing to go into SUV and Europe, China and California making pushing up requirements, there is little indication that every car maker will always manage to balance their fleet.

A court will not order specific performance of license terms as a remedy for copyright infringement. It's just not an option. The remedy will be monetary damages only.

I suspect a typo, but could you describe the problem in more detail? I'm using KeepassXC, and while there are a few challenges around workflow, there's nothing insurmountable.
I'll probably always take the train into Boston. Even though it's a little more expensive than taking a greyhound or driving (if I can find parking), I don't like to drive in Boston.
However, if I needed to go much further I'd be in a bind. The website is really difficult to use at times. I was trying to get to Maryland(?) at one point to buy a used car, but I couldn't find a page that would show me stations near where I needed to go. I ended up finding one nearby using Google, and though the Amtrak website allowed it as a destination, it seemed there were never trains headed there. After 15 minutes of confusion, I checked wikipedia and it turned out the station had been closed to trains for years and only operated as a museum.

So even if they redid the rails, they might have to redo the website as well.
We should enrich everybody. All of those examples are symptoms of people short on time, which in our society is usually synonymous with short on money. I don't think many people would choose to drive recklessly while eating and tossing their trash out the window. That's something I'd expect from a person who has to be at work at EARLY:00 on-the-dot, maybe working multiple jobs, but generally just trying to survive another day.
How old are the phones? Everything up til the X can be hacked now to bypass that I was told. If the company has no use for them you could probably make a huge profit unlocking all of them.
Here you go: Safari is a great browser for users.

The only thing that kept me away all of these years is the lack of extensions and because I’m used to Chrome’s developer tools.

Firefox is the worst browser in literally every way except for the containers. Everything else feels hacked on compared to other browsers. Just compare Firefox’ reader mode to Safari. It’s night and day. Firefox’ feels hacked on.

As a developer I hate Safari, but as a user it’s everything a browser should be. With Translations coming in Big Sur it doesn’t have much to envy Chrome.
What is it that you think is actually going on? What conspiracy?
bitonicSort() is a hypothetical dependency. So at least, by my reading of the comment, it seems like you'd be recommending to mock out bitonicSort().
They'll probably still pick up the phone and listen if he calls.
The US is certainly not cheaper for two products that everyone has to buy: healthcare and housing. Switzerland is significantly more affordable than the US because the price of these two goods (which are human rights) are regulated.
I don't think the advantage completely disappears.

Let's look at one possible attack: the attacker knows all my passwords, and they manage to steal my laptop from my car. What can they do in each scenario?

In the case of lastpass, bitwarden, or keepass, the attacker now has all my passwords. The 2fa token was used once in the past, so all the passwords are stored on the device, protected only by a password at most.

In the case of password-store with my gpg-private-key on the yubikey, the attacker still can't decrypt anything unless they also stole my yubikey, which I never leave unattended.

The fact that my private key on my yubikey isn't just required to sync or login (like it is for the 2fa case), but is rather where the actual decryption is done every single time I access a password, does have a difference.

I don't think the difference is very large though, no.
Being a superset of JSON, YAML allows you to use braces for maps and square brackets for arrays instead of relying on indentation.

You can still omit quotes around strings, use comments and add trailing commas after the last element of collections.

A configuration file written in that style is actually pretty nice. I’ve never understood why people don’t use this.
I haven't experienced this on my 2020 macbook nor my 2012 macbook. Care to link an example of some heavy javascript?
I'm curious about the details of how a trailer in an alley could almost kill you, were you going highway speeds down an alley?

I cannot stress this enough. Gather the right metrics, and you can analyze them how and when you wish. Gather the wrong ones, and there’s no coming back.

The pandemic is fuelling viewership, but killing advertising. It's also making video production difficult

If paid subscriptions failed to fill the ads hole, the yes, the pandemic would be bad for business.

That's on top of competing against Google, Facebook, and established broadcast/cable advertising markets, with likely unestablished or unattractive demographics.
Heat flux from inside the Earth is limited by the surface area of the Earth. Adding a geothermal plant essentially increases the available surface area, which would increase the flux.

However, it would be a very small increase to a very small source of heat. Underground heat in total is only about 0.03% of total energy budget at the surface.
Since each pushState also creates a object reference that cannot be garbage collected as normal (every pushState includes a object to be passed to a popstate event) I don't think it's too wild to suspect slowdowns to be caused by them using pushState instead of replaceState.

It could of course be thousands of other things too (and in combination), but it's not a bad place to start.

Haha, those are great points. However, if you make $50/hour and it takes any where close to an hour to install 1Pass, you're overpaid!! The install is super simple. Setting up the passwords is an ongoing thing and something I consider outside of the initial setup of the self-hosted version.

Fwiw talon has a setting to record everything locally, annotated with the recognized words. In the next release it will also work when using dragon.
The funny thing is how much of the 1960s "new math" that was derided at the time for being irrelevant is now super applicable in computing as soon as you scratch the surface just a little bit more than average. From your link: "abstract algebra, modular arithmetic, matrices, symbolic logic, Boolean algebra, and other super-mathy stuff they might never need"

Even in Lehrer's song, the textbook wants us to do the calculation in base 8, and that's amusing and surprising and... being familiar with octal helps me in minor ways on probably a weekly basis. Being familiar with other bases more generally, even more frequently.
While many forklift-caused deaths involve the driver dying when, for example, a forklift rolls over; forklifts cause thousands of severe injuries each year to people around the forklift.

Those people would be threatened and injured even more by a driver that has limited spatial awareness because he/she is not there and is just watching a computer screen.

We would see more accidents but with fewer human injuries if automated forklifts would enable a human-free facility, but it's not going to be at that level yet.
In the wake of recent GPT-3 related news I'm wondering how writing and written content perception is going to change.
For me perspective of reading through a novel partially or completely generated by software makes it completely unappealing.
I noticed that even knowledge that GPT3 exists and is being actively used experimentally right now for co-authoring written content reduces my eagerness to search for new fiction books. I think that I'll have higher than usual dose of distrust and skepticism towards previously unknown, non established authors.
Something no one explained to me that I had to figure out on my own. There are three basic levels of engineering management.

Team level - Supporting individual engineers working collectively to solve a relatively narrow set of business and technical problems. Lots of short term focus.

Org level - Supporting multiple teams of engineers solve bigger, hairier problems and learn to both identify and solve their own problems. More long term focus.

Exec level - Represent the needs and capabilities of the every engineer at the company, and be a strong advocate for them. Support the needs of the larger business and strategy. Super long term focus.

Depending on the company, there are some half steps in between each level, and you may have responsibilities that span multiple levels.

The most important thing to evaluate (and constantly re-evaluate) is at what level you are currently working at and what level you need to be working at for the good of the company. Hire accordingly.

If you find yourself working at all three levels, it won’t be sustainable and the payoff simply won’t be worth it in the end.
In January 2010, I went on a binge of every James Randi video I could find on YouTube. Him debunking psychics, talking about religion and faith, talking about magic, the works. I got so obsessed with him, that I found his website, and sent a very generic "fan email" to him, saying that I respect what he did, and think that he should keep up the good work.

Much to my surprise, he responded with a very quick "thank you!" message. I told my dad about this, and since we lived in Orlando at the time, and Randi was in Fort Lauderdale, he suggested we ask to buy Randi lunch. I figured there was no harm in sending the email, and much to my surprise, Randi agreed!

We drove over to Fort Lauderdale, and he actually spent the whole damn day with us, talking about psychics, doing magic tricks for us, talking about science fiction novels, etc. He was an incredibly awesome guy, and I thought it was beyond cool that he decided to hang out with some dorky fans from the internet.

RIP Randi. You made the world a better place, and you will always be missed.
While almost everything is great about Bitwarden, the 5-8 second delay when performing a search is ridiculous (considering I have about 100 records), and I'm considering paying for a better maintained alternative.
You can be brilliant and a good manager while still not being a good CEO.

If you can only do well in a company that already has a bright future ahead of it (with or without you), are you a good CEO?

Is finding and maintaining P/M fit not the primary role of a CEO?
I had a follow up thread with the author on Twitter, and one part of the talk ventured into if UTF-8 made sense for Eastern scripts. I looped in one of my ex Apple colleagues who worked on the transition of Swift from UTF-16 (the Mac default) to UTF-8 for the rationale why this made sense.

That led to a whole discussion of the benefits of self synchronising bytes in UTF-8 as well as a gratuitous self promotion of my “history of Unicode” talk at https://speakerdeck.com/alblue/a-brief-history-of-unicode

The end of the Twitter thread is here, if you’re interested:

Sure, but I don't think anyone is pretending that it's all we need. There is a subset of the population who isn't showing up because they forget. For them, text messages are helpful, and for everyone else they're non-harmful, so it's a net win. It doesn't mean that we stop looking for ways to improve things for everyone else.
For Paypal, this is just inflation protection for their customers. Inflation is going to be much higher going forward so this feature is more important now.

It's for people who leave a bunch of money sitting idle in their Paypal accounts for several months and don't want it to lose buying power.

Paypal can achieve this by holding onto Bitcoin reserves to back their customers' funds. What this means is that Bitcoin is going to become the new gold standard. This will allow Paypal to take the place of traditional banks and help society to transition away from fractional reserve banking backed by fiat currency.

It is very clever and brave of Paypal to do this.
Extremely silly, I got a C# job recently after I went about 7 years without touching C#. I forgot virtual existed until my first day when I had to look it up. I would have failed the "what's virtual?" question, yet I am very good at my job (just got a big raise).
I haven't noticed a significant difference between safari and firefox in terms of performance, personally. I never had the browser feel like it's hung up or crash, honestly I don't think I've had a frozen browser window in years. Maybe it's because I run ublock origin and cut the pollution, though.
The article seems to think that if the proceeds of an auction are misused, that means the auction is bad.

Then it goes on to nitpick: auctions that maximise revenue discourage investment, auctions that don't maximise revenue waste money. So all spectrum allocation is damned?

I'd be happy enough to agree that auction design is hard (and I think really interesting) and that combining it with politics is also difficult. The issue here (which the author never states but I think would not be disagreeable to them) is that you have to be careful what you wish for: maximising revenue then misusing revenue won't help. But that's not the aauxtion/economists fault any more than you're mechanic is responsible for you intentionally crashing.
There's not much to know! "XDP" is really just the Linux term of art for "BPF running directly off the network driver". Your BPF program --- ordinarily, just a C program you compiled with clang --- is given a struct with pointers to the beginning and end of a packet, and your program can return OK, DROP, or REDIRECT, in addition to modifying the packet.

The XDP project itself has a pretty excellent tutorial:

There is already way too much space junk orbiting the Earth. Now SpaceX is planning to launch literally thousands of new satellites into low orbit, polluting the skies for astronomers and everyone else on the planet. Yes, the FCC approved it. That doesn't make it right.
It's per 100k people in the state. It makes no difference if it's 100 or 100k. The comparison was state-to-state. The absolute numbers don't matter.
As a homeschoolee, I agree with this, IF the parents make sure there is some other social circle. That circle does not need to be primarily made up of people the child's age, but needs to include some near age peers.

I am skeptical that online learning is ideal for a child's development, but have no evidence one way or the other.
Cool research (^▽^)
> Mother Jones was singled out as one that would suffer, while the conservative site the Daily Wire was identified as one that would benefit.

Implicit is the assumption that the baseline, before these adjustments were made, was "correct", and that the adjustments unfairly altered it. But from what we know, the baseline was just as arbitrary as the adjustments.

Why was the original algorithm okay, but changing it is "manipulation"?
Yes you have the right (IMO).

I only mentioned it as a factor which presumably increases the risk of death, since there are notable cases of CCW holders being shot during traffic stops.

I so don't get it. I've driven them. They're fine, and sure, they're made for fun. But the purple prose you see about how orgasmic driving one is is bullshit. It is a car. It goes. Yay.

If I had to drive to commute, I'd own a car, and likely spend more on it that I would for a pure utility vehicle. But I still wouldn't shell out for a Tesla any more than I would a Bentley - just so very not worth it to me.

I'm not criticizing - I spend what looks like crazy money on things other people don't care about. To each their own. But there will always be a niche for those Priuses everyone likes to crap on - for people who just don't give a damn about car status games and just want to get from A to B.
