If you made a list of every mistake each person makes in 2-3 years, and omitted all other detail, pretty much everybody would look like a terrible person. Context, frequency, etc. all matter.

If particular systems or people are seeing a high frequency of mistakes, maybe the system design is at fault, not just the person. Obviously it's hard to do in practice, but the ideal is to design systems that are mistake proof.
A few percent of Americans have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. In a study of 30,000 people, enough people will get infected within a few months to give good statistics. At the current rate of confirmed cases in the US, you'd expect about 10 people in the study to get infected each day (fewer if half of them are vaccinated and the vaccine works).

Without a placebo group, how will you measure effectiveness and safety? You need to monitor a statistically equivalent group of people to determine the difference in rates of infection and disease, and to look for side-effects.
> why can't they design physical safety relays/cutoffs?

They can and they do. Or at least "they" used to. Nowadays such safety devices are very often software enabled. Because it's cheap and also because it checks a box on the marketing brochure that every customer wants: "Software upgradability for lower maintenance cost and reduced down time." Oh the irony.
You are looking at it from the point of view of an app developer, not that nextjs can't do app but a lot of its users are e-commerce businesses
Thanks for the heads up. Will get that fixed :)
The biggest BS flag is that the total invoice was for only $85. That’s pretty cheap for fixing multiple laptops. Nothing about the story adds up.
Why do you want a USB-A charging cable in 2020? My laptops don't have that anymore, and I don't even have recent laptops. Like most people I know would have to to use a dongle. No thanks. Move as quickly as possible to USB-C, please Apple, and no need for charging bricks anymore.

> it really feels like a cost cutting measure they are trying really hard to spin as an eco-friendly one

This is cynical.
For a project like this to happen at a major US university (especially once outside funding is involved), it needs approval of the university's Institutional Review Board. Getting IRB approval entails researchers proposing a strict set of guidelines for how the data will be collected/used/stored, examining the potential for harm to participants, and convincing a room of very very risk averse individuals that the project is safe and bounded in scope.

This is in stark contrast to CA. "They're probably on the level" because they have entire systems in place to keep them there.
You don't need anything like HoTT to start using multi-letter variable names.

Or Apple's did. Do you really think they're passing the savings on to the customer?
Yeah, and when the woman start shooting back and is actually funnier than the bully, he start trying physical "play", and go cry to the boss once he's taken a knee in the nuts.

Listen, i won't argue about "too PC", but in my experience, if a workplace have a not PC culture and the target of discrimination start shooting back harder than the bully, it always end poorly for everyone.
I've a few similar things happen. I talked to my brother on a discord vpice chat. He very briefly mentioned some game he plays and we went back to what we were doing. I never did anything else regarding that game, not searches, not text convos mentioning it, nothing. The next day I started seeing YouTube ads for it.
Are there any boilerplate projects providing a demo of an open source 2d or 2d+physics game engine? (Presumably the answer to that is yes).
Bonus points if I can use rust/zig or easily target android or iOS.
> I think this is cool if they’re the future of the Mac, but aren’t these chips just wasted in the iPad?

Mostly, but by putting them in iPads and iPhones they have been able to scale their chip development to the levels they need to.
I've worked on a "no code" platform before (HP-OO).

You still have to understand CS concepts and ideas. Heck, I even created a reusable component to do async polling. (Because how do you explain that as a single integration.. you really cant')

This is nothing but PR drivel to suggest that we can get millions of kids as cheap labor to be spring developers on their platform.
I do things like

const HARD_CODE_TEST_DATABASE_FOR_SAFETY = 'unit-testing'

destroyDatabase(HARD_CODE_TEST_DATABASE_FOR_SAFETY)

1. Avoid silly terms our industry should have ditched years ago, like 'drop'

2. Making sure that nobody will ever change HARD_CODE_TEST_DATABASE_FOR_SAFETY because they thought it should 'always be the active database' or whatever.

And although right now the Tesla system seems very dangerous, if they manage to get through the next few months without many horrible press events from accidents, it's totally possible they could have a usable system early next year sometime. Very difficult but possible.
I think it would work equally well if the president had two aides and had to order one to butcher the other, in front of her eyes, in order to launch a nuclear strike.

Regardless of the exact details, I think the point of this thought experiment is that for a head of state, the decision to launch a massive attack that will cause hundreds of thousands of casualties can feel a little abstract. "Bombing a city" can seem abstract, even if the president understands this means killing children. Understanding is quite different from feeling. However, if the act of ordering a bombing raid on a city involved physically murdering a child, it would definitely feel more immediate and less abstract.

Your point stands, of course. But the part about removing the abstractness of the act seems relevant when ordering people killed.
Most of the funding for the thought leaders in climate science today were funded by these same corporations.

I have a relative that was doing climate research in the 70's and 80's. He was considered a radical, and ended up leaving the field because his funded dried up, he eventually went into teaching.

He'll tell you that the current models are all B.S., that's it's much worse than we've been led to believe.
There is zero murder problem in downtown detroit.

I used to live in Lafayette park (adjacent to downtown detroit) in a coop building with a doorman next to a several hundred acre park with a view of the river. I moved out just as a former US senator was moving into my floor.
I'm not sure how to square that claim with this sort of article:

Cancer patients who undergo chemo/radiation treatment often talk about "Chemo brain." I've experienced it, but determining causality is tough. Is it due to the stress of having cancer and all that entails? Is it due to the treatment itself?

I have noticed that I'm not as cognitively sharp as I was prior to chemo, but I've also aged 15 years as well.
Depends how you look at it. If I consider the amount of cables/charges/earpods we have as family this is logical move. We don’t upgrade all the devices every year but it still adds up. Most of them are just throwaway.
Interesting, I've worked on both sides of scraping and protecting content but hadn't really considered checking for JavaScript frameworks as a trigger. I'm assuming this is something you could configure in a F5 that also injects its own JavaScript?

Randomising field names, seeding hidden bogus data and messing with element order was more what I would look at once a persistent scraper was using enough IPs to get around rate limits.

> We could reduce the argument that life is about simple pleasure to its logical conclusion

If you really want to reduce, then you might as well go for the physics explanation: everything is deterministically following the laws of physics and any perception from your meat brain about what's desirable or noble or whatever are merely entropic microstates of a
large complex physical system. Therefore, there's no "choice", and whether one specific individual chose to play a game at one time and another chose to study cancer at another time are entirely inevitable outcomes given the exact arrangement of atoms at their respective times.

The idea that an individual conscience has control over any outcomes would have to somehow prove that it's possible for some metaphysical force to change chemical reactions enough to "flip a bit" in a neuron in some way that is capable of affecting a macroscopic human decision that would otherwise have taken a difference course, had one "let" chemistry run its deterministic course.

I've read of experiments where lab rats lost the will to live so to speak, when they had their pleasure chemical receptors short-circuited (meaning, given the choice after experiencing the "neural device", they chose to submit to it). This suggests that motivation is indeed merely governed by a series of chemical reactions, rather than being a supernatural actor in its own right. It just so happens that from a natural selection perspective, organisms that take outside stimulus into account in their pleasure mechanisms are more likely to reproduce. Acts like choosing to play games or choosing to study are, under that interpretation, merely variations of evolved neurological mechanisms attempting to generate dopamine through convoluted means.
I thought the point was that the only water they discovered or suspected so far was in continuously frozen form. This however, is in liquid form for about half of each month. In theory, that means there is a potential for an intermittent well, which is an improvement over no water at all.
The subsection on matrix multiplication is on p 228. But, of course, a person can't just dip in, they need to be in the flow of the prior 227 pages.
> But the internal state isn’t experienced as color.

How would a conscious entity experience an internal state in a way that's not like color (or pain, etc)? I think the claim is that conscious entities must experience some internal states somehow (otherwise what are you concious of) - how else could they do that other than via sensation?

I don't think that internal states of non conscious entities has much bearing on what a conscious entity does or is.
But both were definitely worth while. No doubt chemo has saved/extended lines, and most likely a winnable research goal in the short term, while the investments needed (e.g. immuno/genetic therapy and etiologies, was simply beyond the near term capabilities of science in the 70's.
AlphaGo doesn't know anything about the game of go. It "just" manipulates symbols, runs instructions on its CPUs and GPUs, illuminates pixels on the screen for a human to see.

It just also "happens" to be the case that if you interpret those pixels as go moves and play those moves against the world champion human go player then eventually that human will hold a press conference announcing to the world that AlphaGo has won the match.

Apple’s move and their explanation honestly feels about as genuine as hotels asking you to be eco friendly by hanging the door-tag to skip room cleaning. The difference is that hotels at least give you the option.
Perhaps microwaves have hardware protections to prevent heating when the door is open, but a software error could presumably still have it spring to life unexpectedly, which could potentially be dangerous.

It's a (perversely) interesting creative exercise to think of catastrophic consequences that might follow from the failure of a system we don't normally think of as critical. Let's restrict it to physical systems, excluding concerns like being banned from Gmail, and issues like misinformation and extremism spreading through social media.

• A bug in a sound driver could cause hearing damage, especially if someone is using earphones

• Perhaps a bug in a graphics driver could be dangerous to people with epilepsy

• A bug in a laptop's battery-management system could cause a fire on an airliner

• A bug in an overclocking tool, or in motherboard firmware, wouldn't typically cause a fire, but perhaps

• We know that bugs in satnav systems can cause inattentive drivers to cause serious accidents

• A bug in an app about food intolerances could have severe consequences. A graphics/rendering bug, perhaps in the OS, could cause the app to misrender.
Yeah...we never had success with the OSS solutions here. We used a lot of Tiara Networks (later bought by Nortel) boxes for this sort of thing. Worked great, but expensive, closed source, yada-yada. If there were only a couple of parallel paths, routers worked reliably if not always optimally or cheaply; sticking to one vendors multilink PPP was generally reliable, and worst case there is OSPF as one mysteriously downvoted commenter upstream noted.
Inductance in the grid would probably be sufficient to destroy them all, even if they were the only equipment on the grid and they were all destroyed at once. It's a lot of power flowing.

One other neat trick is to color code PS1 in your Linux instances, like red for prod, green for dev.

This is definitely a nice one to add. Though I did work with someone once who believed that all servers should be 100% vanilla and reverted my environment colors.

In container-only shops with no ssh, this is less of an issue, and instead you rely on having different permissions and automations for different environments.
A Max10 T-Core board from Terasic is $55 academic and tools are free for the Max10 class.

You only start paying for FPGA tools when you need the really big FPGAs.

And, I'll go out on a limb, but, at this point, I think Arduino causes more harm to beginning embedded developers than good. Yeah, the ecosystem is wonderful if you aren't a developer.

However, Arduino is now weird compared to mainstream embedded development. Most things have converged to 32-bit instead of 8-bit. Arm Cortex-M is now mainstream so your architectural understanding is useless. 5V causes a lot of grief given that everybody else in the world is at 3V/3.3V.

A developer basically has to unlearn a bunch of things to move up from an Arduino. I still recommend Arduino to non-developers or somebody just trying to throw together a project, but I no longer recommend them to someone actually trying to learn embedded development.
Why companies care about hiring people in SF?
If the company is fully remote, it shouldn’t matter.
If it does matter then saying it’s fully remote is a lie.
If there’s a need for a specific role to be physically in SF then hire in SF for that role.
Also at this day the idea that they are competing against companies hiring locally is ludicrous. That might have been the case 5 years ago, but today most companies are hiring globally for remote positions — that’s your competition.
Paying based on where people live is just burning company to subsidize insanely high real estate — and ensure your SF bros can keep their jobs.

The media player can save the video in such a way that the Youtube site doesn't know that this happened. That makes a convincing argument that there is in fact nothing in Youtube that can be called copy protection.

Probably, but it could not reasonably sue on the basis that Google's web browser is circumventing copy protection in Google's video site. They could still sue that way unreasonably of course.

What an amazing looking project!

I think this type of "someone in the group runs an instance" type deal will become more and more frequent.

Each family/community will have a "tech guy" or two who manages this type of thing, maybe on an offline device, and everyone chips in a couple satoshi per year for the hardware and network.

If you store your data in something easy like text files, you can even have several redundant devices, all for the price of a couple raspberry pis.

Imagine a raspberry pi with a terabyte of storage attached. Certainly that's enough for a "Familybook" of your closest people.

This is the type of device I am developing for today. I'm writing the simplest HTML possible, always no-JS friendly, using the most common interfaces supported by the most common web servers, and completely portable with just a zip file of text files. :)

How old were you when you started programming?
And by that I mean actually being able to put together things that "worked". I used javascript to interact with customers when they landed on my free hosted webpages. remember angelfire, geocities etc;? man those were some fun times

and what are you doing now? I never went beyond that and took actual programming classes in my engineering degree. Never actual had a programming job but still mess with it from time to time as a hobby
Yes, Covid-19 can infect brain cells directly and it can also cause strokes, heart attacks and neurological issues.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02599-5

And Yes, influenza can too. H5N1 does too (bird flu): https://www.jneurosci.org/content/38/12/3060

Inflammation also causes damage.
Yes... and no. See, where I see the main difference is the attitude of the people itself. Forget the government and politics. When something happens in everyday life, there are a series of institutions which become active (simple people doing their work) and they react to situations to solve the issues at hand.

The difference is that, it is in those everyday life decisions/situations that my fellow countrymen just make bad and stupid decisions. It is the lack of "do things right" mentality. From my experience visiting the US often, that's what "saves" it, everyday people still have a certain judgement bar of what's right and what's wrong. Here in Mexico... it is just not there, people just rush through things to get freed from the chore. As a podcast I linked said: When the authorities come to interview you about what you saw, a lot of people will just say they did not see anything, mainly so that they don't have to deal with any follow up. You don't see that in the USA for example when an accident happens, or a robery: People usually standup and stay to help.

The issue with power efficiency, speed, and price is that it's even harder to measure than transistor density. Furthermore, I think metrics that measure the technological progress of the silicon manufacturing are a useful tool for enriching comparisons of chips. Yes, numbers like cache sizes (or transistor density) aren't what people ultimately need/want, they want speed, but it still helps them compare chips. Improvements of the underlying process alone could lead to improvements of power efficiency, speed, and price.
When I started programming, it was to make games during middle/high school and I always had the problem of getting them running on anyone else's hardware. I haven't touched that for years, so what are the easy ways to make things that will run on someone else's computer and will still run in 5 years without futzing around?
They adopted this term for the same reason all authoritarians play Orwellian games with language.
It's probably both I'm not a climate scientist so I can't really say one is more important than the other but the AMOC does bring warm water up the coast as well and if that goes away and the water cools the air brought over by the Gulf Stream will probably be colder as well.
And it should be kept in mind that almost none of those procedures were intuitively obvious things to do. As the saying goes, safety standards are written in blood.
I would strongly recommend looking at “standard” dependently-typed theories and languages (or even proof assistants without dependent types), instead of trying to plunge into homotopy theory. Learning how dependent types work will be much more illuminating than trying to catch up on the algebraic topology. While the link between topology and formal logic is certainly interesting, I think you’ll be much better served by starting on the logic side of things.

Software Foundations is a well-known book / series of Coq programs for theoretical computer science. [1]

Lectures on the Curry-Howard Isomorphism[2] is my favorite (graduate-level) introduction to type theory and the lambda calculus, including the “lambda cube” and pure type systems.

Finally, while Type-Driven Development With Idris[3] is not at all “theoretical,” it is still an excellent introduction to dependent types and the idea of proof-as-program. It’s also the only book about a specific programming language I’ve ever read and actually enjoyed :)

If you're a programmer, I wouldn't worry too much about examples of morphisms from math (unless you're interested in the math for its own sake). You already know tons of morphisms -- every function in any programming language is a morphism (e.g. square x = x * x is a morphism Num -> Num).
