There is a mini-documentary title, The Map, linked to in the article that is about this whole project, enjoy > https://vimeo.com/470020599/74757d3b17.

> "The Map" (Work & Co x Gary Hustwit, 2020) is a short documentary about a revolutionary redesign of New York City's iconic subway map. Filmmaker Gary Hustwit documents the process as digital agency Work & Co creates a new "live map" — one that updates in real-time — to help New Yorkers and tourists better plan their journeys. The film examines the evolution of wayfinding and user interfaces, and shows how good design and the latest digital technology can simplify one of the world's most complex transit systems. Featuring Felipe Memoria, Rachel Haot, Sarah Meyer, Joshua Gee, Marcela Abbade, Karina Sirqueira, Robert Penner, and Mohan Ramaswamy
Not rationality I don't think. More like empiricism. He found truth not in what one could reaosn but in what one could test.
I've always thought the hatred was a bit overblown. Bundling an Internet browser with an operating system was that big a deal? Not just to lawmakers but hackers? Boy are we way past that now.
I just reach out. We're small. At scale I would still prefer to primarily base recruiting on referrals.

Yeah, first come first serve.
The dynamic range of your eyes vastly exceeds any "normal" camera on the market today and have much better low light sensitivity. Not only that, they're paired to a biological supercomputer whose "programming" is more powerful, efficient, and robust than anything currently in silicon. It's certainly possible to drive autonomously with cameras-only, but it's very much an open question whether we can do so safely today.
Facebook does not have a "conservative lean". Facebook's users have a conservative lean.

The company itself skews to the left because tech workers under 30 skew to the left. Facebook is in a funny situation where the employees are at odds with the users. Poor Mark Zuckerburg is caught in the middle.
> Cellphone service has markedly improved the lives of the very poor something most economists did not predict. In fact when India deregulated rates from some of the highest in the world (voice was around $.10 to $.20/min) most economists argued against it saying cellphones were a thing of the rich and the tax-losses to the govt from telecom revenue were not worth it. Deregulation was called a give-away to the telco companies and the rich etc. Instead, what came about was the biggest uptake in cellular and data usage and one of the cheapest rates in the world.

Hard to believe and irrelevant to this discussion.

> Poorly designed top-down auctions bankrupts companies and causes under-investment in infrastructure do directly cause suffering to hundreds of millions of very poor people.

What is a top-down auction? Are there also bottom-up auctions?

That auctions bankrupt companies - why are they are participating if they can't afford to? - and that they cause under-investment - is a spectrum that's been bought in an auction less profitable? - sounds like propaganda from corporations that want spectrums for free. It neither makes economic sense, nor am I aware of any empirical evidence for it.
The consequences of bitcoin have not been sufficiently questioned and poked at. Society allows the exchange of bitcoin for real currency. Bitcoin enthusiasts (at least until they are victimized) view the scams, crimes, and damage enabled by Bitcoin as externalized costs (borne by those who are "not up to the task of understanding", which is generally not something you should write immediately after complaining about "intellectual arrogance").

The cost of a Bitcoin speculator's "freedom" is paid by others.
Real currency and banking systems actively try to prevent fraud and crime.
Bitcoin is...whatever the exact opposite of that is. It exists only to be itself -- provably so.
Short-form social media is a booming and crowded market. Short-form video is not.

In the former case it's mostly social media, the main value here is memes and/or following creators/influencers; there is never a storyline or a "show" to follow per-se.

Quibi's business model would be that people would not only be interested in a storyline contained within bite-sized chunks of video but that they would actually pay for it. This is a flawed idea; when it comes to a story people want it to go as long as possible (and the pause button is a thing that exists already), there's no reason to want artificially-constrained storylines when you can get the longform equivalent on Netflix for the same price.

We are! It's Rust + Hyper. It is a _lot_ of work, but that's because we're trying to proxy arbitrary client traffic to arbitrary backends AND give them geo load balancing.

Writing proxies is fun. Highly recommended.
Probably best to sell a kit of a few designs, equipment, project management, and financing (avoid capital costs) that shares in income but also has contractual obligations for length of running.
"total cases per 100k" you need 100k because otherwise you numbers would be insignificant. You'd be saying 0.003 people per 1000 which shows how asinine this shutdown really is. It's only when you deal with populations larger than a small city can you see statistical difference and there are too many additional error factors such as quantity/quality of tests at play that far exceed what ever trend you were trying to draw.
I think every service does this now.

Netflix doesn't allow screenshots on mobile devices. Neither do Crave (in Canada) or Amazon Prime.
Music perception varies so it might be easier for you to hear a narrower interval. I can imagine it being closer so it doesn't mess up with your perspective, whereas with a larger difference you might lose your comparison baseline from the first.
That quota thing only exists in large metropolitan coastal cities. I assure you, that does not happen in the majority of the US. I mean my state let's people drive with like 5 dui's on record.

I just cancelled Comcast this week and am in the Bay Area too. I've been going (polite) rounds with their customer support since March. Constantly losing connection, uploads peak at 1Mbps, horribly unreliable.

I paid for their 110Mbps plan and have worked remotely for many years. Video dropping all the time, router hanging. After upgrading all my equipment because they wouldn't admit fault, I got a tech to come out who was completely candid because I showed him my modem SNR and power levels and he knew I wasn't messing around.

Without fail, he pointed to the pole top node and said that's the problem. It was Sunday and the realtime congestion was near 80%. He said it was scheduled for upgrade but everything is delayed because of supply chain issue in China.

That was all I needed to hear. Canceled that day, got AT&T copper (no fiber here), and it's been solid so far.
I think at least half of the reason for that is that it makes it easier for them to see your pst salary / bonus.
The thing I don't like about YAML is the strict meaningful indentation. It's fine once you install an extension that won't let you do anything other than two spaces, but it's pretty horrific if you try to edit a yaml file in a virgin text editor when you aren't super familiar with the format, especially if you try to copy paste things.
Nearly everything you’ve mentioned is an infraction (or even a “fixit”), not a misdemeanor, in every or nearly ever jurisdiction in the US. Whether to charge you with reckless is up to the cop, but without evidence—especially since cop cars have dash cams—it’s not likely to stick; especially for a first offense. (And OP asked what misdemeanor he committed anyway). And it’s very very easy to not drive above the legal limit for alcohol or to not drive recklessly.

I’m not disagreeing with your overall point (although usually it’s expressed as people committing felonies every day) but these examples just aren’t making your point.

Interestingly, violating the public health orders here has been a misdemeanor, and it’s pretty easy to have accidentally violated one for a moment.

Wow I always thought it was "Yet Another Markup Language". It's crazy that they would change to be literally opposite of the original name.

From the wikipedia article:

> but it was then repurposed as YAML Ain't Markup Language, a recursive acronym, to distinguish its purpose as data-oriented, rather than document markup.

I mean couldn't it be both data-oriented and a markup language?

Cadence makes some of the most incomprehensible pieces of niche software I've ever had the pleasure of encountering, so I got a bit of a grim chuckle to see a blog post from them about software complexity.

If you construct your parser in some kind of declarative fashion (e.g., a parser combinator DSL), you can do that kind of error checking directly on the same spec that you compile to produce your parser.
Randi was also a very good magician himself which gave him insights and credibility that other skeptics that followed have never had.
Depending on where you drill, you might end up in a situation where some layers come into contact with high-pressure water and start swelling, resulting in raised surface levels. Most prominent example I know of, is the city of Staufen in Germany:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staufen_im_Breisgau#Geothermal...

To my limited understanding, this could have been prevented by a better geological survey.
Most implementations[1] implement it in userland, but this is by no means a requirement. There is no implementation for the Linux kernel presently, but both msquic and F5's QUIC implementation can run in their respective kernels.

QUIC is indeed built on top of UDP datagrams, much in the same way TCP is built (typically) on top of IP datagrams.

Was it? There is a lot of Keyhole in there too. And remember maps.* and local.* both existed for a long time.
I agree with everything you say, except your advice to use a parser combinator library, because most implement PEGs. Hammer is, of course, an exception to this, as long as you call `h_compile` to tell it to use a different backend.

Why not use PEGs? In short, they don't actually remove ambiguity from your grammar, but rather hide it in ways that are difficult to reason about. You're still dependent on code as a definition of the language that you accept, and worse, that code is very fragile in the face of refactoring. Further, the lexical analysis step is generally the source of most ambiguity, and most parser combinator libraries make it extremely inconvenient to parse something that isn't a character stream. (Hammer is actually worse than most here; it's not possible to use it to parse anything other than streams of bytes, though perhaps it can be excused because of the limitations of C)
Where do you have such a delay? I just tested in my vault (via Chrome web extension and desktop app) with 377 items and search is instant.

We use Nomad + custom Firecracker plugin and custom device plugins. Nomad is very nice, much smaller in scope than k8s, and saved us a lot of effort.

We don't use any of Nomad's networking stuff, really, so all the BPF work was relatively easy to bolt in. All our Firecrackers get tun/tap pairs we manage outside of Nomad, it's reasonably simple to make them do what we want.

I think we'll ultimately move off for custom orchestration but we want to wait as long as possible before we do that.
I think they want to know how certain people are about the pitch change, but this isn't a great way to determine that - there are too many reasons response times could vary. I thought this was a distracting part of the test and couldn't see what value it would provide in the end.

These tests are also interesting. They correspond with my result from the OP, that is I can't reliably determine a 1/64th step in the OP, and I also can't reliably hear a 2-cent difference in this one, although I can distinguish a 5c diff.

Yes! I think this is a good explanation. I find it hard to relate two different notes to each other when they are sufficiently different. If they are very different then it obvious but if they are 1-2 tones apart I only really hear them as two different notes rather than one note clearly being higher than the other.

Likewise, closing my eyes was unintentional at first and then I realized it actually helped quite a bit so I kept doing it. Senses, focus, and the dynamics between them are fascinating.
Most parser combinator DSLs use PEGs to parse, which don't actually prevent ambiguity, but instead hide it. I strongly recommend using something that compiles your declarative grammar into LL(k) or LALR(k)

> That said the Galileo project really looks like it is very badly managed, which is sadly rather common for European projects of this kind, especially on the military side of things.

By comparison to the UK, the EU GNSS is a paragon of technical expertise and efficient project management.
My implication was actually not to make assumptions, one way or another. But I do take your point. I tend, as a matter of principle, to try to assume the highest capability of others unless proven wrong.

Here's an even stickier question for you, now that we've wandered off the path. How do you feel about these people (I'll call them a basket of incapables) voting?
What's important is that you no longer have a critical section, where mutual exclusion is enforced. The only piece of code that has mutual exclusion is an attempt to commit the transaction. The kind of thinking required to implement such algorithms is quite different than when you can rely on mutual exclusion.

(Also, not all architecture use hardware mechanisms to enforce actual mutual exclusion. For example, Power does not, as it uses load-linked, stored-conditional: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-link/store-conditional. On Power, even things like atomic increments are implemented with LL/SC. Architectures basically have to decide: will they implement atomics through some kind of a lock mechanism, or some kind of LL/SC mechanism.)
> What is holding US back in public transport?

Various things, surely, but things like property rights and an unwillingness to accept wholesale use of eminent domain. A 150mph train requires shallow curves and therefore won't run on an existing freight right-of-way. If not for that, it would be pretty straightforward to build.

Meanwhile, a plane ride from Portland to Seattle is 30 minutes and cheaper anyway. There's no incentive to invest in high speed rail.
"Assuming AGI agents are Turing computable, no individual AGI can possibly comprehend codes for all computable ordinals, because the set of codes of computable ordinals is badly non-computably-enumerable."

I was going to criticize this paper as crankery in the vein of Penrose, but first I thought I'd just compute all possible ordinals in my brain to make sure I'm a general intelligence.

I wonder if they changed it, as it makes a comment about being able to use the up/down arrow keys based on user feedback. It now does one stage, and then tells you it's about to get harder.
I practiced with https://tonedear.com until I read that comparing intervals to melodies (like 'Hey Jude' for a minor third) is doing more harm than good.
I think I would genuinely be pretty happy with a well-supported extension of the JSON spec that allows comments. Even if it required an explicit start and end of the comment (/* ... */). I also can't say I want or need anchors/references from YAML, so I think that helps me be quite OK with using JSON.

I appreciate the challenges of writing JSON, but also think it can be easier to spot issues if you have an editor that's doing magic indentation based on the JSON. Give me comments to help the humans, and I'm sold.

This is how the IETF and protocol development works[1]. In fact, it is strongly encouraged for participants to implement and deploy drafts before they are finalized. Otherwise you risk finalizing something with a lot of deployment problems.

I like TOML too, but speaking of footguns, there is one where it comes to serialization. If you have something like:

struct Foo {
int bar;
Baz baz;
int quux;
}

... you can't naively serialize this like:

[foo]
bar = 5

[foo.baz]
...

quux = 6

because that makes `quux` a property of `foo.baz`, not of `foo`.

The serializer has to be smart enough to recognize that primitive fields have to be serialized before object fields. As a practical example, Rust's TOML library is not smart enough to do so, though it does at least detect when this would happen and fails with a runtime error. (The workaround is to change your type definition to reorder the fields yourself.)

Well, a fixed supply yields better monetary properties, which people are likely to value.

I don't really think a cryptocurrency can win in the transaction niche without also winning in the store of value niche. I think it's a winner take all situation.

As a separate point, I don't know if Ethereum or Polkadot really can scale to meet the world's needs (I'm skeptical), but any cryptocurrency can scale arbitrarily if you use offchain intermediaries (e.g. like PayPal) for small transactions.
My most common problem in the stations, and the cheapest and easiest one to solve is this: when I get off a train and am about to go above ground, I have no idea what direction I am facing.

The signs for which exit is which say the street corners or maybe just the streets, or maybe neither, but if I'm going to a new area, I have no idea what those streets are or which directions they go. So I would usually just have to stand above ground for a while and look at the business names, and look at the map on my phone, and look for the street signs, and eventually figure out which direction I needed to walk.

The solution is simple: paint a compass on the floor near the exits.

The thing about the Interstate Voting Compact is that it's still winner-takes-all, so as long as a majority of states are on board it's fine.

The problem with doing it with proportional voting is that you need every single state on board; any state still doing winner-takes-all has much greater power.

What’s really funny about this is that the clear area where this isn’t true is seafood. The sea is absolutely loaded to the hilt with things that are incredibly toxic, completely inedible, or entirely unpalatable. There’s a ton of fish that we do eat, naturally, but there are tons of things in the sea that you shouldn’t touch, or that have to be handled carefully lest it kill you.

That’s funny because generally speaking ancient humans preferred seafood over hunting mammals, both because that allows you to be stationary, and because mammals have a disturbing tendency of hunting you back.
There's a Kubernetes plugin/package for Dhall [0] that can do this [1], it's very neat. I've played with it briefly, and whilst a tiny bit verbose (mostly as a function of the K8s specs themselves I suspect), the ability to have it validate everything before you even touched K8s was worth it imo.
