I never said that. Please don't make up strawmans.

I never said that.

> I was bullied once. Eventually I fought back and gave the kid a bloody nose. Guess what - he was nicer to me and to other kids too. Prior to that he had no empathy. That experience changed him. I know others with similar experiences too.

Funny how I only hear the "stood up to bullies succesfully" story and never the other ones. See my other comment.
You’re quite right and I’m wrong!

Excellent, I’m sure that wasn’t the case here last time I checked and gives me hope. Thanks for pointing that out.

Actually I've seen stories about people being convinced by the nurses taking care of them. There's an example here if you scroll down. https://www.thecut.com/2020/11/nurses-are-dealing-with-patie...

But I'd also argue that such denials are on a spectrum, from people who don't believe in the virus at all, to people who don't believe it's dangerous, to people who think it's only as bad as the flu, to people who don't take wearing masks or other precautions seriously, and even people who believe their youth and existing good health will protect them from harm. This has been exacerbated by both the president and allied media putting out false and misleading information.

Countering those false narratives are exactly what good journalists do.

The journalists, as always, have to have the consent of the patients they are talking to. That's always been the case. They aren't hovering over anyone without consent, and suggesting otherwise takes agency away from people bravely telling their stories, or who consented to have their last moments documented, or whose family consented to their body being shown.

Showing the real effects of disease, violence and death are a powerful element of journalism. Consider Emmet Till's open casket funeral. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till
Consider George Floyd's last moments.

The issue I see is that, because someone entirely different from the filmed individual has a chart at the nurses station, the government has created a regulation claiming you also need their consent despite that not being shown/viewed.

That seems like an attempt to obfuscate the truth under the guise of medical privacy, despite no harm being done to anyone.

> Apple was in it's "lickable" phase.. I miss it to this day!

Actually that was the main reason why I stayed on OS X 10.9 for quite a while. I liked the dang glossy buttons and progress bars! Had to update when I later needed then-current Xcode for my job. I don't regret though — by doing this I essentially skipped the buggy mess that 10.10 and 10.11 were. I had stable WiFi and nice UI while everyone around me was complaining.
Or more closer to infosec, I think, is that I bought a house and it had 'cheap' locks that anyone with 10 minutes and a lockpick can open. Sure, maybe I should have considered some harder core stuff, but in the end thats what I have and what is practical for 100 good reasons. The same way corporate IT can only be so secure. So no one is really leaving the door open, its just with enough effort you can break any lock.

Which puts this further on the attacker. The attacker can't claim that I should have nicer things and he couldn't help himself. There's way too much victim blaming in information security.

Couldn't recommend Jeff Erickson's lecture notes more for algorithms, DP, and the like. I too did rather poorly in the class so you're not alone! In a similar vein, Lawrence Angrave, a systems programming lecturer, has a wonderful crowd-sourced "book" [1] on all things systems programming. It is my go to resource for brushing up on these topics. Lastly, David Forsyth, a statistics/applied ML lecturer has a gold mine of a book for diving into ML and difficult concepts that come with it [2].

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head there. the sparsity makes me nervous. Combine that with the fact that I recently changed jobs from a very low stress position where I was basically calling the technical shots for myself to one where I am micromanaged to the half day time step...

Powerful people of the wrong kind will love robots. Robots are loyal and will never say no, will never question orders, they can forget anything at anytime. And they can be implemented in a way so that they cannot feel pain or remorse, they cannot be interrogated, cannot serve as reliable witnesses, etc. Shit will happen and it will be noone's fault.

They do not have a DNA, they do not have a face or an accent, they can technically come from anywhere in the world and be owned by anyone or noone.

Will we be ruled by tyrants backed by robotic armed forces? will people be harassed by throwaway robotic private investigators or hitmen? I can see many ways in which this can end up poorly.

There are many potential constructive uses for robots too, of course... but people in power love control, and I would expect robots to be used to implement control related stuff first, before they get put to work to the service of society. Just like everything else...

>No, I'm talking about incarceration in the USA. There's a huge difference between that and what's happening in China.

I was aware of that when responding. In fact, when I said:

"There are valid reasons to separate some folks from the rest of society (think John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, etc.), as they've shown themselves to be unable/unwilling to respect the rights of others within that society.

Incarceration as a tool of punishment, while widely used, often poses more risk of harming society than any benefit from "punishing" offenders.

It's a complex issue, and simplifying it to "Law and order! Lock 'em up!" is reductive and often detrimental to the societies it's supposed to improve."

I was specifically referring to my home, the USA.
It's just straight up extortion.

I think the AWD helps a lot more with starting out. My old FWD car (no snow tires) would not be able to stop at a stop light that was on an incline and then start again without spinning the tires forever. The same thing with my Subaru (AT tires) and there’s no slip at all.

That's still not "emergent," because that is expressly how the unit was designed to function, and how it has been balanced since then.

> The Tesla Model S in this video is equipped with summer-focused all-season tires, so traction and handling could’ve been better with the winter tires.

This is a bit of a nonstarter for gauging snowy weather performance, in my opinion. While comparisons can still be drawn between human and FSD drivers using the same (incredibly unsuitable) tires, handicapping the system doesn't provide a great measure of its prowess or challenges in "snowy conditions."

A bit of an aside, but few driving-related topics grind my gears more than people who live in snowy/icy climates driving with cheap (or just bald) all-seasons and complaining that their car "isn't good" in the snow so they need a bigger 4x4, which is of course subsequently kept on stock all-seasons for only a marginal improvement.

> all relevant standard library methods have been patched to yield to the scheduler whenever they encounter a situation where they will block the current fiber

This is huge. They solved the function-coloring problem by deciding that all functions are now potentially async. It makes it more likely that the ecosystem as a whole actually becomes async-compatible. I wish Python had taken this approach, though I understand why they didn't.
> What’s left is the driving part, the “how to make the car follow this path” part. I predict this part will be ridiculously good once Tesla gets around to it.

So they are almost there with the part others barely even have to do, while the part everyone else is working on will eb ridiculously good once they get round to it?

I'm skeptical.
"allowed"

Do you think there were a bunch of experimental vaccines just floating around on the . . . dark web? ... That's not how it works. The vaccine makers themselves have no interest in distributing unproven vaccines. I myself was highly confident (and posted such on HN) that we would have a successful coronavirus vaccine, based on the scientific information available early in the pandemic. But it wasn't a surety. You must have a randomized trial or you risk very very bad outcomes. Some experimental vaccines (e.g., dengue) actually make the viral infection worse. Some don't work at all (e.g., Sanofi's covid vaccine). Heck Sanofi's vaccine is likely the easiest to manufacture and distribute. If we followed your "plan", it would likely be that most got the ineffective Sanofi vaccine and we would be moving dead bodies around with bull dozers as "vaccinated" people failed to practice social distancing.
> Why is it that despite listening on TCP 9100, some printers will just print the source code when you send them a PDF or Postscript file with netcat?

Not all printers interpret those languages on that port. For example, Zebra printers interpret ZPL there, and I think most Postscript would look like plain text to a ZPL interpreter.

> Are there any networked printers around nowadays that don't support Postscript?

I'd be somewhat surprised if most label printers and receipt printers accept Postscript. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more niche types of networked printers where it might not make sense to support Postscript.

Personally, I am not interested in getting positive votes, but it bothers me that my comment is "censored" by a couple of people who did not understand what I said and who do not even participate in the conversation... It is like if you were in a meeting in your work and a random person on the street say that your idea is bad and they do not take you into account for it.
No surprise. Even among scientists there is an issue where the level of critical review a paper gets is largely dependent upon how agreeable the findings are to the person reviewing it. This is a reason that even science isn't fully trustable in areas where personal beliefs are very strongly held.

For one fun field, look at the level of criticism papers in parapsychology (the study of the paranormal) and compare it to if they get more criticism or not than the average paper in psychology. There is a particularly fun study (which I do not recall the name of) where two scientists teamed up, one who thought parapsychology was a true field and one who thought it was fake. They worked together on the same experiment and each produced results that agreed with them, but neither could find a flaw in the other's methodology or results (other than they disagree with their own results).

I think it's clearly recorded in-camera, and I think real camera footage - the reflections in the (plexi?)glass screens show the robots and people holding cameras. I'm not even seeing any obvious indications it's been denoised.

As someone who works in the VFX industry, faking reflections on wobbling/flexing glass screens (static ones are easy) is actually pretty difficult to do right, and I doubt they would have added the camera operators if they were faking it.

Some of the aspects making people think this is CG are the diffuse lighting (no obvious hard shadows or occlusion), very clean robots, "weird" (i.e. not normal, but I believe it's honest for the robots) motion, and lack of sound.
> Therefore... I should reflexively question covid studies saying how dangerous it is because in my own experience it's not even worth making a fuss over?

Should you question them? Yes.

Should you let your own experience and that of a few people around you override what you see to be a rigorous statistical study because you questioned it and looked into it? No. If you look into it and have serious questions about the rigor of the study? Maybe. Is that the case in the Covid studies? Probably not.

Whether this is about Covid or anything else, the important thing is to be able to asses information as it comes in and reassess your position based on the data available to you. Anecdotal data is invaluable and used by everyone every day to make decisions prior to receiving good outside rigorous data, because for many things we don't have good outside rigorous data.

50M doses isn't something that gets suddenly summoned. It's a big logistics problem. Your assumption is valid only if the pharmas have capacity to make a extremely big amount of vaccine doses. That costs money and (I guess) materials, and both of those things could go towards a vaccine that is proven to be effective.

A lot of the comments are looking to find ways to get around the fact that entering text on a phone is a pain. Others have suggested creating 'art' but, personally I find a phone screen far too small for drawing on.

If you want to 'create' with your phone, why not use the feature it has which is actually as good as [and in some aspects better than] the equivalent 'proper' equipment. ie. the camera.

I'm a keen amateur photographer and have actually sold my SLR and compact cameras and now use my phone for 100% of my photography. It may lack some of the capabilities of my proper cameras, but [like most modern phone cameras] it's very good indeed and light years ahead of the equipment many of history's greatest photographers had access to, in their time. And, as the famous quote says; "The best camera is the one you have with you"

[and who of us leaves the house without our phones, these days?]

Next time you're thumb-twiddling somewhere, why not set yourself a photography project to kill the time:

* Find and photograph 'faces' in everyday objects

* Pick a random word [for example off a billboard] and take photos on that 'theme'

* Pretend you're a news photographer and record 'stories' on your journey to wherever you're going

* Photograph some everyday objects from weird angles and see if your mates can recognise them

* Try and find some 'beauty' in decay; dilapidated buildings, rubbish, grafitti, etc.

....and so on.
