I think you underestimate the amount of work that's required when "proofreading", you need another translator that could have done the work themselves. And it's not like you can just exchange a few words here and there and consider it done. If a human has to make corrections they'll likely rewrite the entire sentence and then the advantage of machine-assisted translation is pretty much gone. Overall you'll save time but the amount of time saved is probably less than what we think.
I suppose that’s good advice because many people overdrive their vehicle’s AWD in winter but it’s not explicitly correct. Real life as usual is more complicated.

Braking in AWD scenario and traction are not same as your example and depends on the power split between the front and rear and how the 2 are coupled together. In 4WD with the 50/50 split, the drive shafts are locked together through the differential and braking is much more effective in part due to the fact that the braking is more evenly distributed among the 4 wheels since the drive shafts are locked. Also when you lock up the brakes in 4WD usually 2 wheels on the diagonal keep turning, again due to how the differentials work. This is not the case in FWD.

I've read recently that Gulags are being repressed again in local Russian history (they were mostly just abandoned and ignored post-Soviet) and are in need of a sort of cultural-come-back.

We know every detail about the Holocaust but not the Gulags. The revival of Stalin in Russia is very real and very weird.

If a mask doesn’t work, you’ve put a piece of cloth on your face. In fact, that piece of cloth helps hide your identity on surveillance. That increases your freedom.

There is absolutely no downside to wearing a mask.

If a mask does work, it can help slow the spread of viruses.

Masks are effective at helping an infected wearer reduce spread to others. This is not exotic science, this is not a “party line,” it is accepted and, frankly, obvious scientific observation. Respiratory pandemics are not new and masks have been used to combat them since at least a hundred years ago.

Even the recent study cited by the parent comment of yours admits that masks are still effective at preventing transmission from an infected person to others. Sure, they aren’t effective at protecting the wearer. That was never the intention.

If they are even single digit percentage more effective than not wearing one, why not just wear it? Heck, they keep your face warm in the winter.

I'm sitting in a house my parents bought 5 years ago that has already doubled(!) in value. Rent in this area for a 1 bedroom apartment averages more than $1200 a month; anyone who can't afford that either lives in a rented room or a tent or has left the area. It's pretty crazy
I agree. Another potential solution is a kind of service that will enable users to look for articles that meet some criteria, and the service could prioritize articles of higher quality. Then you wouldn't need to browse Medium, you'd just look for what you want and the service would recommend quality articles.

Of course the question is always how to properly rank an article's quality. I'd say the best approach is to crowdsource it - develop an algorithm that takes into account how many other highly ranked articles reference a given article, and give a higher rank to articles that have more references.

If you do this, make sure to give the algorithm a clever name. Ideally name it after yourself, unless your name is Smith. You'll never do well with a business built around something called SmithRank.

Now if your last name happened to be something related the things you're ranking, like, say..."Article"...wow, call it ArticleRank!

Just remember you heard it first here on HackerNews.

People aren't uniformly greedy though. Some are 'I win when you lose' (maybe 30%), some are 'win win' entrepreneur types (15-20%), a similar proportion are 'insurance buyers', and some are natural volunteers. Perhaps the solution is to develop strategies that yield modest but reliable reward for the largest number, while frustrating the greedy.

Disclaimer: I work for a competitor to Intel in one of Intel's many markets. I would indirectly stand to gain from Intel spinning out their fabs.

I would love to see Intel open up their fabs. More fabs in more locations would be beneficial to the chip world overall. However, I don't know if Intel can do it successfully.

The vertically integrated strategy pays off when you have enough volume in the money maker (CPUs) to justify the heavy investment in the bottom of the stack (fabs). Intel is nearly at a threshold where they risk losing hold of the CPU market.

I see about 4 paths. I don't know which one we're closest to.

1. The ideal future for everyone (except for their their competitors in the manufacturing space) is that Intel successfully spins out their fabs and we have a viable near-leading process available for the chip industry in the large. There's still a lot of money in not-quite-bleeding-edge processes.

2. There's a future in which Intel doesn't, they bounce back, and everyone calling for them to spin out their fabs looks like an idiot.

3. There's also a future in which Intel doesn't, they don't bounce back, and their process falls into irrelevance as they lose the volume to fund their fab development.

4. Then there's a future in which Intel does, they do or don't bounce back, and Intel's fabs are still not competitive enough to be used by anyone but Intel. It's still an open question whether Intel can reach the volume they need to make this pay off, for example. It's also not obvious that Intel's process, on a technical level, is ideal for anyone but Intel.

The ideal time for this to have happened was years ago when Intel still had a process advantage and could leverage that to bring in new customers despite the other risks, but it was precisely because they had a process advantage that they weren't going to do it. In fact, they went the other direction and let go of much of their custom foundry expertise, which was quickly scooped up by (now) more successful companies, and purchased firms that moved to the Intel process rather than maintain a customer relationship. Now they have to contend with the fact that they don't have an advantage and they aren't as accustomed to working with partners for manufacturing. It's an uphill battle, but it's doable. The geopolitics might be compelling enough that they can overcome this with pressure and funding from three-letter agencies.

Culturally, this might be better regardless of any of the technical details. I've often heard that manufacturing runs the ship at Intel and that they suffer from severe internal politics between orgs. Splitting up might be the right tool to reign all of those problems in. But, it might also be that Intel truly has been infected with the managerial MBA rot that technical folks like me like to complain about, or Intel has irreversibly shed its manufacturing talent. In that case, I don't know if manufacturing can be saved.
They are probably also not in the same price range.
The problem is the higher-level decision makers having fully internalized "never leave money on the table". If there is a premium paid product, it will later have advertising added to it, and results prioritized, because that is an additional source of revenue. Never mind that it defeats the entire purpose of using the premium in the first place.

The second level is that customers know that this will happen, and don't bother looking into the more expensive options. Why bother paying a premium when you get the same poor experience out of it?

The third level happens when market research shows that people are not willing to pay for a premium product. This gets erroneously attributed to people preferring cheap ad-ridden junk, rather than being a response to markets producing expensive ad-ridden junk. (Side note, I despise the concept of "revealed preferences" for this reason.)

3 kg of dry dirt at 20 deg C has enough energy to vaporize a kg of LNG (it takes slightly less concrete). Assuming on the timescales involved it can come into thermal contact with the top inch of soil, all the LNG from that tanker should dissipate once it spreads over a surface of 3000 m^2, or about 60% of the area a football field. It vaporizes faster when you take into account other sources of heat like the air, and way faster if you light it on fire. At most it'll be on the ground for a few minutes, but for a real spill it could be just seconds.

I think you misunderstand the clinical trial approval process. Yes, phase 2 is primarily about safety, but these are much smaller trials than phase 3, which in turn is much smaller than the post-marketing patient population (cohort). Safety issues routinely arise in phase 3, or even after, due to the much larger cohort sizes. Good phase 2 results are not proof of safety, rather an indication of safety. It is bordering on genocidal levels of reckless endangerment to release a vaccine for general use after Phase 2 in the hopes that it might be effective and is probably safe.
So I guess this explains the Modern Slavery contract provisions or vendor surveys I must fill out.

> I briefly considered adding gossips - if $NPC1 seen player commit murder and $NPC2 meets $NPC1 - then $NPC2 remembers that too, and remember who told them.

I think we are getting here with natural language understanding.

Rather having to write statements and handle the logic on a per-agent basis. We could keep a database of events with a brief description of what occurred, and use some NLU engine to use that description to form statements and opinions on the subject at hand.

It could even incorporate sentiment by having favorably weights between groups. So let's say, elves hate dwarves, and an event occurred where "Belegost (dwarven city) was razed (terrible action) by armies of Gondolin(elven city." The event name would run though a NLP system to which would make elven characters see the event more favorable than dwarven ones.

You could even model the spread of information.
In 10 years, the biggest markets will likely be:

1. Mobile (I include cars, IoT etc)

2. Server/cloud (most new servers will be deployed to AWS, MS, Google, and maybe Alibaba)

3. Graphics / ML (you mentioned Nvidia and CUDA)

How would your suggested option 4 help Intel gain a significant foothold in any of those markets? (or stop the Arm transition in the case of #2)

>>Still, are the interior doors more durable than the external doors?

"Yes."

I doubt this. They might be equal, but I doubt the exterior door would be weaker than the interior one. It's simply not logical.

"Locate the entrance to the attic. Then the room I am in, despite not knowing the layout to the house. Then smash a hole in the ceiling. Then climb through said hole without getting stuck. Without me noticing. In under 5 minutes."

Who said the entrance had to be located? If you can smash it down, why not up? (And who said smash? If their motive is to kill you, they may have brought tools, as I said before.) Who said you wouldn't need to notice?

The point is that there are weaknesses in any house. Maybe houses in your area aren't drywall, but attackers can adapt their tools and tactics to address whatever is common in that area. It's really not as hard as people think.
Does that distinction change the point that I’m making?

I think what people are missing with all these analogies about burglaries and negligence is the funny difference between cyberspace and meatspace: In cyberspace, your attacker can be anywhere on the planet, located in virtually any jurisdiction, and reliably tracing and attributing attacks is a very difficult task. In meatspace, your attacker must be physically present and is generally obvious and thus vulnerable. This difference has dramatic implications on the ability of the enforcement model to reduce incidence of attacks.

In meatspace, assigning 100% of the burden of blame to the attacker and absolving the victim of any blame at all agrees with our ideas of morality and sort of works because there is a non-negligible chance of holding the attacker accountable. This provides a measure of deterrence to would-be attackers.

In contrast, in cyberspace, the chance of holding attackers accountable is much lower. There is little deterrence to would-be attackers, especially state-sponsored attackers. Here we need to let go of our fantasy that blame must be assigned according to our idea of who is morally at fault.

Of course the attacker is always morally at fault. But legally, we must hold accountable organizations who are breached, because we need them to improve their security posture. An improved security posture is the only realistic path to a future with fewer and less impactful cyberspace attacks.

Strict liability or "victim blaming" for cyberspace attacks goes against our notions of morality but IMO it is essential.
It's even worse when you remember plenty of victims are behind bars due to victimless "crimes", police fraud, or minor infractions.

The millisecond scale tiny adjustments to throttle position and correct braking force to apply to a specific wheel in slippery conditions computers are absolutely better than human drivers already. Systems like ABS, stability control and traction control have done wonders to keep people out of ditches already.

The long term, macroscopic decision making involved in driving computers are nowhere near ready to drive better than I can in winter (or even in perfect conditions). I love my model 3, but the autopilot is simply not a good driver. It would fail any minimally rigorous driving test because it makes rookie mistakes and only drives in the exact moment. It cannot plan ahead more than even a handful of seconds. It stays in other driver's blindspots when there is plenty of room to adjust the relative positions of the cars. It accelerates into gaps that are about to not exist because other drivers' small hints scream they are about to change lanes, even if they haven't signalled yet. It gets confused about speed signs, often reading the off-ramp maximum as the speed and slams on the brakes. It plants itself in the dead centre of the lane even when other drivers encroach and then when it decides the situation has become dangerous it swerves violently and applies applies significant braking. Experienced, safe drivers give ground within the lane, preventing the dangerous situation from ever developing, and if the other driver does fully enter their lane are ready to calmly move over without creating an entirely different collision.

Also a Tesla owner, on latest AP hardware: I would be amazed if the FSD update manages to solve all the problems, I have been through a few updates where things noticeably improved but we now have to pay Tesla money because while using autopark it just completely reversed itself (at a pretty high speed) into an object. It was insane. We’ve had weird AP issues too and now we don’t feel confident using any of those features.
My guess it is built with military grade components which are more expensive and has got embedded emphasis on reliability. That probably includes custom molds that can be insanely expensive for small runs. I can imagine the firmware must conform to a higher standards than consumer grade firmware.
The difference is that the TV can not be used to harm anyone else, unlike computing equipment that can be (and is) used to attack others.

In your example let's replace the TV with a weapon and I bet you will be still found liable for not taking appropriate precautions to secure your weapon like keeping it in a locked safe.

Similarly, most online crime uses lots of compromised machines as its infrastructure. Making their owners/operators liable would actually add an incentive to not buy/operate insecure devices which in turn would put pressure on manufacturers to make secure products, otherwise customers will be afraid to buy them if it can get them in legal trouble.
Fellow Model 3 driver here.

> You might as well be comparing your experience driving a BMW or Cadillac ....

But OP isn't--he's comparing the current live Tesla features with paywall'd / betawall'd features on the same car, from the same manufacturer. I cannot think of a more relevant comparison! I think it's completely reasonable to doubt Tesla's (and Elon's) claims in this realm, when the existing, public examples of this technology fall far, far short of the kind of confidence we'd want to have in these systems.

> Your experience on the old tech stack is irrelevant.

I 100% disagree. If Tesla can't even get a basic function like cruise control to work well enough that drivers are confident in it, why would I trust that they can get self drving to work well? Especially following things like the Summon beta, or similar fiascos?

I still get twitchy when my M3 comes up on an off ramp it's not supposed to take on autosteer--I've had the same behavior as OP (sudden unexpected speed decrease) happen far too many times for me to have confidence in that system. In turn, I have even less faith in the more complicated systems, like autosteer or FSD.
