Ha, good point, perhaps that'd be like paying your landlord for utilities like water or electricity usage, but could also be paying for every time you have guests visit the house or you go up and down the stairs.
Why not? The relative complexity of an automatic elevator at the time considering their level of tech was probably comparable to the complexity of an autonomous vehicle today.
No, if there are lives saved by self-driving cars, they will primarily be in instances where the driver was distracted/drunk/high. Thus any competent lawyer workin a case against a self-driving car company in the case where their car killed someone, will argue (rightly!) that those sane lives could also have been saved by less high-tech measures, such as AI detecting undesired human behaviour and putting the car in limp-home-mode or similar.

In that case you are saving the same lives and not causing any new fatalities, but it's not a super cool tech that will attract lots of investment. So the choice to implement self driving was ultimately putting profits over human lives.

Regarding #2 - is that really true? My understanding has always been that while NCOs might well steadily work their way up from grunt to rank N, COs start immediately at N-1 (or N-2, whatever), minimal non-managerial/leadership training required, with indeed no expectation that they would ever fulfil any lesser role.

Then they work their way up from there, the NCO's maximum conceivable career goal being for them just some minor stepping stone on the way to whatever - or they get stuck/give up on the way, and go off and do something else. Up-or-out is not uncommon in non-military lines of work either.

I’m surprised that there aren’t more comments about utilizing R AND Python for analysis work. These two languages actually commingle fairly well, you can build in RStudio if you like that flavor and still import Python packages to use in R code.

We do a significant amount of modeling and analysis on large data sets from a variety of disparate sources and utilizing several different packages have extended this out to standing up a fully free (save for AWS hosting) environments that perform modeling, allow reporting and Dashboarding automation, restful APIs for other services to call into.

I’d encourage anyone looking at making the jump from Excel to ‘X’ to checkout out some of the power of flex dashboards, R Shiny, Plumber and some of the different authentication mechanisms available.

I think you’re going to find human caused deaths to be just as bizarre if you ever look into them. You might think people are generally ok drivers but when you’re looking at each fatality as the worst mistake per 1.5+ Million hours driven people are doing some truly dumb things.

On that time scale you can expect people to have fallen asleep at the wheel several times. They spent literally months looking at their phones rather than paying attention to the road etc. Because here’s the thing most accidents aren’t fatal, for every death you’re going to see a host of accidents that should have been avoided and tens if not hundreds of thousands of mistakes that could have resulted in a serious accident but didn’t.

I would love to use Target or Walmart, but the killer feature that Amazon PrimeNow and Fresh still have for me over all the rivals is that they will not allow me to put something in my cart that they do not have.

When you already believe that cars should not exist, it’s not much of a stretch to say that cars which do exist should be limited to less than a walking pace anywhere pedestrians might be present.

There’s a thing about the car companies having essentially stolen public space from the everyone else when they made it incumbent on pedestrians to watch out for cars, and a desire to reverse this.

Of course this would pretty much invalidate them as a transportation mechanism, but that’s the point.

I’m not sure about near-infrared specifically, but I’m certain that shining light on yourself at “good” wavelengths can be beneficial. Specifically the use of a 10000 lux led panel to mimic the sun in the morning definitely helps with seasonal affective disorder on gloomy days.

The logic behind IR light is entirely plausible too. Light is energy, it’s not like photosynthesis is the only way an organism can leverage light.
A lot of cheats are visual cues and only alter the rendering, not the game logic: wallhacks or texture hacks for instance. You also have auto-aim cheats, etc. Running the game logic on the server, which you should do, will not help in these cases.

Running the rendering itself on the server (Stadia) would probably help, but even then with a hacked client you could add auto aims, and alter the visual stream.

"Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam have much less restricted societies right now "

Those are inherently 'rules based' societies though where government also has an incredible amount of power to intervene.

If the 'general rules' both administrative and social were enforced in the West, we'd probably have a revolution.

It was never about 'lock-downs' over there - it was 'all of the other things' they did.

They were way more interventially concientous than us: when you land in Taiwan, they physically check you in your home to make sure you're in quarantine. They give you masks. They follow up. The Koreans do mass contact tracing, they search your Facebook + Social Media. Those are things that Americans in particular would balk at.

Paradoxically - Korea and Japan have particularily high suicide rates and my 'unscientific hunch' is that the high degree of social structure and expectations are the driving cause. While they may yield compliant, conscientious people - those who do 'fall of the bandwagon' really do fall off.

Attack the client's (or some sub-population of clients at some ISP) DNS resolver and point it towards other IPs that serve up a clone of the web interface with their own LE signed HTTPS but now with some new content too.

This is the same argument technique being used when people say, "Oh, but you can MITM HTTP!" Yes, a target attack of something beyond your webserver is bad. But it applies to HTTP and HTTPS.

Can't you fix wallhacks by just having the server not send the position of things that the client doesn't have line-of-sight to?

And as for auto-aim, can't cheaters do that no matter how draconian your anti-cheat measures are, by, e.g., connecting a fake USB mouse connected to a camera pointed at their screen?
Could you elaborate on the question asked and how you answered? While I wouldn't exactly be surprised, the idea that a lawyer for either side could just blatantly fish for sympathetic jurors seems like a wild miscarriage of due process. It doesn't seem clearly morally distinct from e.g. simply paying jurors to convict.
I think the 2.x vs 3.x issues have mostly been resolved by now. I don't think I've hit one for a long time, and even StackOverflow answers are more likely to be Python 3 now.
With asymptomatic transmission the virus likely would have spread unnoticed in the town that was encroaching on bats for a while before someone brought it to Wuhan.

Also there is quite a lot of domestic travel within China, and it’s not that hard to connect via 1-2 people to a major Chinese city with international flights.

With how contagious we know COVID-19 to be, there is no way it started in Southern China and then infected a significant amount in Wuhan and only Wuhan first, of all places.
I'm not saying it could have spread "for a long time", I'm saying it spread undetected "for a while" in a region where significant immunity exists, thus causing no significant amounts of suspicious illness.

That is, the actual ground zero of the outbreak would be Southern China, where you would expect an outbreak of a novel coronavirus to occur, not Wuhan.
I worked at a creative studio that used Linux during that time. For many periods of time there literally was no solution for doing something as trivial as watching YouTube videos (a huge need for reference) because of trying to pin down the right combination of 32/64 bit OS, browser, and Flash plugin.

To your first question, two things. First it could be real, sure, and that's called an analog computer (not to be confused with an analog circuit). That subject has been studied too, but hasn't been terribly fruitful in terms of realizable improvements over classical. Second, complex because that's how physics works (we think). Scott Aaronson wrote up an article about what the alternatives might be. https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=4021

To your second question, the quantum system can represent all N states simultaneously (until you observe it) because of entanglement. The classical system can only represent one at a time.

>, then it should be society as a whole that bares that burden, not just the enterprises that employ low/no skill labor or their consumers.

society as a whole already does that, as do other employers, who generally do cover healthcare, invest in the training of their workforce and so on, it's Uber and other 'gig economy' companies which by means of legal arbitrage are the exception.

And while it's fair to talk about the trade-offs between small, family scale businesses and minimum wage, last time I checked Uber did not exactly fall into that category.
3blue1brown's group theory videos explain complex numbers better than i've ever understood before.

I wonder if every quantum programmer will need to be a theoretical physicist to some extent. I'm currently reading "physics from symmetry" which uses group theory intensively. It has a lot of math, but i'm ready to dive in this time. Excited for the special relativity sections.

I've also been watching Institute of Advanced Study videos lately which are way over my head, but from what I gather, the black hole information paradox has a solution using a method called entanglement wedge reconstruction. The model is holographic, and the goal is understanding the mapping of the physics of a quantum holographic surface onto the "bulk"(spacetime), and that mapping turns out to be very similar to a quantum error correcting code.

Right, but you're trying to justify your actions by bringing up the actions of the mentally deranged, as if that somehow absolves you of responsibility.
It's remarkable how little discussion there is about where SARS-CoV-2 actually came from. Yes, there is some. But it's a tiny fraction of the overall amount of digital ink that has been spilled over this during the past year.

The potential cost of a new virus is so enormous that measures reducing the probability of its occurrence, even marginally, are ridiculously cheap bargains even if they're expensive in absolute terms. But we need to know what really happened in order to take the right measures.

I admit that I do find the lab-escape hypothesis plausible. I'm not certain of it, but there's a lot of circumstantial evidence that points in that direction. Perhaps one reason this hypothesis hasn't been publicized more is that those most qualified to assess it aren't eager to learn that some of the research they do is insanely dangerous, and that members of their profession may have committed a screwup of world-historical proportions.
I can't speak for anyone else, but from my perspective (and I suspect others are similar): I like the idea of a jail-backed OCI runtime, but it's not interesting enough to my personal use to overtake any of the other OS-adjacent projects I'd otherwise work on in my spare time.

I could be convinced (well, paid) to make it a higher priority, but ultimately it's currently at the bottom of a barrel of much more enticing fish since I'm not really in the demographic that that kind of stuff targets.
The problem isn't total system failure, it's mistakes.

A mistake in a car can cause a crash. A mistake in an elevator can't cause a crash.
Sorry, using it as shorthand for "small project of volunteers with limited funding", which is the specific case with OpenFL. Getting the aesthetics and UX and tooling up to snuff is really hard and we've had our hands full just getting the tech online.
But just not releasing the source code doesn't even stop those kinds of cheats. Even games that make you install a privacy-invading kernel driver to play still get cheaters.
I think detecting impaired and distracted drivers is a lot harder than you think and more high tech since you need that detection in addition to the ability to limp home.
The problem with tradeoffs related to COVID restrictions is that we can much more easily quantify one side of the trade off than the other. The Trolley problem at least usually stipulates the consequences of each choice.

The second and third order consequences of COVID restrictions are extremely difficult to quantify especially during the crisis. So we are forced to make decisions about trade offs without knowing nearly the full nature of the trade.

Sounds like you just need to move it out of AWS?

I spent about $5k on some refurb Dell servers and pay $200/mo for colocation to replace what was $1,000+ mo in AWS bills. The best part is I can put all my small projects there as well and they are instantly profitable.
I fully agree, things can get out of hand in spreadsheets. I've built my fair share of such spreadsheets, and as penance, I'm learning R.

The thing with Excel is there's a low barrier to entry, but there are a lot of differences between a great spreadsheet and a bad one. Somewhat like a junior vs senior developer, the quality of code/spreadsheet depends on what they know, how well they can troubleshoot, and how good of a system they can imagine (to then replicate as much as possible).

For example, most people are entirely unaware that Tables exist in Excel. When you want the sum of a column, rather than writing =SUM(F7:F39) and cursing when you realize you added 10 more rows and that's why the sum is not updating, you can do =SUM(tbl_Sales[SalePrice]), and when you add 10 rows, the table will automatically expand. Suddenly your formulas are somewhat self-documenting, regardless of which sheet holds tbl_Sales. Crtl+T when you've selected your data, or Insert -> Tables -> Table.

You can also make named ranges, which I would say is an analog between using {a, b, c, tempVar} versus well named variables in normal programming.

You can also trace dependents/precedents, showing arrows for how the data flows throughout the spreadsheet. Formula -> Trace Precedents/Dependents.
The first SARS started out with a traveler - what's to rule out that this time it wasn't spreading asymptomatically in other regions and brought into Wuhan by a traveler?
Do a quick search of YouTube. You’ll find it already does.
> Furthermore, we don't subject anything else that moves to this burden, why would we do so for cars (AI or otherwise)?

Yes we do. There are many jurisdictions where in a pedestrian-car collision, the car is presumed to be at fault unless the driver can prove otherwise.
> but in the world of network software requirements can start to get very serious, straight through to userspace protocol stacks on DMA'ed device buffers.

Google does all of that when it makes sense, and yet uses it to push protobufs. That’s the entire point: you are calling it absurd and non-serious, but this only shifts my opinion on you, not on Google.
We don't actually know that it was "only Wuhan first". SARS-CoV-2 is believed to have spread worldwide as early as November.

Wuhan is the 9th largest city in China and also more "blue collar" than cities like Beijing or Shanghai, so the odds that the most visible outbreak of all would occur in Wuhan by chance alone aren't as low as you think.
That is a pretty bold proclamation. Still, the thought of killing and torturing an animal for your pleasure seems to violate ethics centered around reciprocity. You know, the old "do unto others...". Even if that rule is not based on something objective it still seems more axiomatic than, "Mmmm, they taste good therefore I have dominion."
Wow, I'll have to look at chibicc in detail. Sounds great!

Do you not recall that flash was a the worst of the closed source rubbish.

It never played well on any system I cared to use. The tools to generate it were unavailable to the likes of me and a lot of people here, who back in the day were second class citizens.

Also it tried to make the the Web TV before there was anywhere enough processing power at the ends nor bandwidth in the middle.

Designers on their expensive powerful machines built magnificent content that nobody who respected the technology in their personal stack, and paid a reasonable price for their infrastructure could use.

Well, back in the day we may have been second class citizens. How the world has changed. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Excel offers the ability to name any cell or range of cells. Don't even have to search through menus or the ribbon, it's right there to the left of the formula bar.

I'm well aware that the vast majority of Excel spreadsheets don't use named cells/ranges, but you can't really blame Excel for that. It couldn't be too much easier. Lots of Python programmers don't use comments or descriptive variable names either.
I have to say that I agree fully with this statement. We may not even recognise alien life if we see it, and the context in which our conversations occur may vary wildly from any alien species.

We may share a universe teeming with intelligent life, but if that life takes 10000 years to metabolise a meal, and a decade to say "Good morning", there's very little chance we shall communicate meaningfully.
Whatever it is, it seems like we should put some GPS and transmitters on those clams and put them online.
Reading the article had me thinking: “computers are good at automating… computers.”

The quantity of logs he’s describing could only be created by having a machine take readings and dump them somewhere. The cause of the problem had to be a computer in the first place. For human data sources, even back in the 60s we had machines fast enough to tally the census, balance checkbooks, or book flights.

So yeah, Dan had a problem of unimaginable scope in the 80s but also the problem is kind of fake? “Help, my computers are spitting out too many numbers and I can’t graph them all!”

I feel like Dan was on to something here but also something in the article didn’t quite line up.
