I completely agree that we seek validation from others. I believe that I have underestimated my own "schooling" behavior, imitating minnows, as well as that of others around me. So yes, seeking validation is a strong force, but one that can limit our ability to adapt and be creative. I mean this honestly, my own instinct is to go with the crowd even when I am perplexed as to what the heck is going on.

The question of being the first author is interesting. Here is a question, or a poll: would you rather be the first author of a well-cited paper, or would you rather be a member of a group that created powerful new concepts and ideas?

And yes, I do think it is a binary choice. My own recent experience is that the ideas produced are better when "my" thinking is done in a group of thoughtful original thinkers rather than on my own.

Yeah I came here to say the same thing.

I’m 6’8” and if I were within the suggested range, I would be 227 pounds. I’ve been that weight and when I look at pictures of myself at that weight, I always think I look dangerously thin.

BMI is a far too simple a measure to be helpful.
> But it's a dishonest analysis that ignore the threat actor (a criminal in this case - let's not mince words) who exploits the vulnerability.

If I leave my ground floor window open with cash sitting just inside and someone reaches in and steals it, that's my fault. It's dishonest to suggest that dishonest actors don't exist or are anything other than a fact of life/force of human nature.

As such they don't bear much discussion - I left the window open. That's on me.
It seems correct to a first order of approximation for the general population. What is your objection?

I know people who lift weights regularly can have high BMI but low body fat. But until those people make up a large share of the population, I would think BMI is still an OK general measure.
What I do with Hugo is:

- Added reddit and twitter attributes on the frontmatter

- After publishing and sharing to both services, I paste reddit link/tweet id to the frontmatter and rebuild

- On the blogs footer, I just embed both posts, so people can see how many replies, and also click to be redirected reply on each respective service.

Although I would love something more automated (and preferably with in-site response), at least this is a good flow for the readers.
I would say it is useful only to gauge obesity in a large population (where only a marginal percentage has such a high muscle mass that a high BMI does not represent obesity).
Absolutely correct, though how many accidents occur because a vehicle can't get going? (hint: none)

Thank you for the feedback!

What I meant by 'making rules out of chaos', is taking evidence from places like search rankings and recommendation widgets, and interpreting how that ranking came to be, the extent to which it was influenced by the presence of links on other sites, the presence of keywords, accessibility features, the video length, and so on. Is that a poor understanding of SEO, and/or do you disagree more with the original phrasing?

As for the other inaccuracies I would be grateful if you mentioned them as well so I can rectify them.
Why? It can be inaccurate for individuals because it can show lean but muscular people as overweight, but those people are a tiny fraction of the population.
The standard of care has evolved based on the data. Unlike other respiratory infections, intubation often provides no benefits and some harm to those COVID patients who are not literally dying of asphyxiation (critically low O2 saturation). Basically intubation is now a last-ditch effort, that can and does save lives. But you'd better hope you don't need it because the likelihood of needing intubation AND surviving it are low.

My first job after university actually was a ML/data science job at a smaller company. The interesting / challenging part was actually understanding the problem domain and how we could actually leverage data, the technical and algorithmical challenges were, for the most part, pretty easy. It was mostly data wrangling and importing some classifier or regressor from scikit-learn.

Of course, there are also super interesting and technically challenging jobs in ML out there.

You can definitely get some of the gist in there, but some of the automated translations are just way off. And pretty much none of them result in good prose. In addition, none of the translations get the names fully correct, so you definitely need someone to go and fix it.

That's quite reassuring to hear. It's surprising to me that the software wouldn't have been stereoscopically merging cameras already, but adding that capability does sound like the kind of thing that could actually lead to an entirely different level of performance.

CLIPS was not a direct OPS5 replacement. CLIPS was replacing the usage of ART (AUTOMATED REASONING TOOL) at NASA. ART was a proprietary, large and extremely expensive expert system development tool written in Lisp, which required workstation class systems. ART had a rule system influenced by OPS5.

There were/are also cheaper versions of OPS5 itself written in Lisp.

> And while they may get heated their debates about PlayStation vs XBox are about as likely to result in fatalities as the programming community's vim vs emacs or tabs vs spaces debates.

I can think of 2 incidents in the gaming community off the top of my head which led to fatalities. The SWATing of Andrew Finch, and the Jacksonville Landing shooting (that was an NFL game convention though, so it's debatable whether the game was violent). I certainly haven't heard anything like that about text editors or coding styles, but then maybe the number of gamers is higher than the number of programmers.

You don't just need configuration on the fw, you are also limited to having at most one service of each kind per NATted network, because you use up their default ports.
Accurate body fat tests either require expensive equipment or training to use. The inaccurate method those cheap bathroom scales use would probably be good enough to detect trends but if we're just going to detect trends: why not stick with BMI that's accurate enough for that purpose and way cheaper/easier to use? There aren't that many people with overweight BMIs that aren't overweight. Maybe it could be slightly better to change methods, but it's not like it would be orders of magnitude better.

BMI isn't a reliable indicator to gauge obesity. For example, Tom Brady at 6' 4" and 225 lbs is considered overweight, which is obviously not the case.

It helps a ton any time you have to touch slush. Which is often.

People aren't stupid. There's a reason why everyone who can swing it buys an AWD to commute and not everyone buys snow tires. The snow tire is still gonna be slush-o-planing any time you go onto highway slush of appreciable depth. Heck a mud tire with big fat grooves is your best bet when the tire is on that. There is no tire (suitable for general use, I'm sure the Florida mud racing crowd has something up their sleeve) that can handle that without planing. There just isn't enough space between the tread blocks for all that viscous fluid to be forced through (assuming you're going like 20+mph) and you end up on top of it.

Being able to change lanes and enter traffic from side streets/driveways with less slip is just a soooooo much better experience than not being able to do those things gracefully but in exchange for a slightly a better worst case stopping distance in fairly rare conditions (ice and fresh powder).

Commuting in snow is nothing like those commercials where they drive on ice. All the traction in the world won't help you when your problem is that the tire isn't making contact with the road. Driving on ice and fresh powder are so rare it's no surprise that consumers don't optimize for that. Sure you can put snow tires on your AWD but the lions share of improvement in the conditions people actually encounter comes from AWD.
> The only drawback to the homedir-as-git-repo approach I've found is that you're always in a git repo, so you have to be careful not adding stuff which was really supposed to go in another repo.

I tend to always run "git status" before adding anything, which makes it fairly obvious what repository I'm in. (Or I'm working via fugitive in vim, which helps in the same way.)
I was going to ask how long these robots can move without a power cord, but then I found this article from 2015 (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30919098) that says it's about an hour. If that was in 2015, I'm guessing they're above 2 hours now. Very interesting. If they could rapid-charge, and could just "take a break" for 15 minutes every 2 hours, they could be used alongside humans doing various manual tasks...
Sure, that's good and all makes sense. I am somewhere in the middle of a venn diagram that includes all these tribes, plus mercenaries and many other things that aren't described, as I'm sure many of us are.

I do think it should be discussed further but my original point was that we may be missing out on discussing the unseen majority as much as we do these passionate ones.

Then again, perhaps those groups are just not as worth discussing other than in side notes like these HN comments and that's just fine too.
So, would brid.gy automatically post your blog post to twitter? That's what you mean by two-way integration?
The important question is who's to blame when they don't.

Right now there's civil liability for the end customer, integrator, and manufacturer (depending on who failed to follow ANSI/ISO robotic safety guidelines) in industrial automation accidents, and criminal liability if the failure rises to the level of negligence. It honestly works pretty well, every site I've ever worked at has been happy to put safety first and throughput second, to a degree that my ordinarily cynical outlook is pleasantly surprised.

But I don't trust the justice system to correctly follow logical reasoning when these things are used for violence. Who's at fault when a desperate soldier straps something to one of these things and sends it off to commit war crimes - the soldier? The brass who put the soldier in that position with those tools and got that entirely expected result? Boston Dynamics engineers and others who built the tools and shipped them with fine print that says "by clicking OK you agree not to violate the Geneva convention with this"? The robot itself, sentenced to run with worn out bearings and low hydraulic fluid in a long prison sentence?

It brings to mind the Nathaniel Borenstein quote [1]:

Not quite, to install a version of iOS it must be signed by Apple, and Apple stops signing old versions soon after releasing a new one. Further you need to put the phone in recovery mode to install a lower version because the UI simply won't do it.

You may be thinking of game consoles, which use fuses to prevent downgrades.

That would spur generation of creative paperwork like fake "support contracts" or "licensing" deals.

I think best solution was IIRC in Italy where whole families of people kidnapped by mafia had assets frozen. It made ransom inattractive. So in this case company could apply for having frozen all funds in exchange for evidence. It would both mostly absolve the management from the ethical dilemma, punish those responsible for negligent IT and make ransoms less attractive.

I’m sure I’ve read hundreds of pieces on Medium, but I don’t associate those pieces with anybody or anything and I definitely never gave them any money. On the other hand, I subscribe to multiple substacks and I’ve been really happy with the experience, one that I associate very directly with the specific writers I’m paying to read.

That feels like a big difference.

In real terms though that head start could be significant given how quickly things can get out of control with this virus. The U.K. has been vaccinating for nearly a full month now which accounts for 750,000 of the most vulnerable people. That’s a good head start.
All first 5 to be developed vaccines are pretty successful. So don't think survivor bias applies here. Also, what exactly are those catastrophic side effects? All the cases of "vaccine gone wrong" are pretty mild and most of them don't apply to BionTech/Moderna vaccines (since it doesn't include virus) or related to product problems, which don't depend on trials. If vaccines were started to be used after phase 2, thousands and thousand of lives could be saved. I think it's worth discussing. Especially with these new mRNA vaccines, where new one can be created within a month, it could be a new way to battle upcoming pandemics.

> Not if you live in a country where firearms are strictly regulated and self defence isn't a justifiable reason for a firearm permit.

"External intervention is violating my right to defend myself" is not a argument in favor of external intervention.
Agree.

Factoring in the business process (esp a somewhat formalized one) as well as the notion of economic value would help to introduce a pragmatic separation between essential and accidental complexity.

I guess what gets interesting is when the business process is fussy itself (e.g. in a start-up setting) and that is when the direction of programming and software development at large takes in a more reinforcement learning discourse v.s. a pure top-down reductionistic one.

Perchance that is also when the categorisation of essential vs accidental complexity becomes more ambiguous in the human process.

Hullo, another Model 3 driver here.

I mentioned this in another comment, but it's relevant here; OP wasn't using Autosteer or Autopilot, they were using cruise control: a miles more simple system--and that system behaved in a way that seriously reduced confidence in it.

(For the record, I've experienced exactly the same behavior in my M3 as well.)

So, if we can't trust something as simple as cruise control, and we've seen similar confidence-eroding issues in the autopilot features Tesla has already deemed "good enough" for a live release, I think it is 100% reasonable to be skeptical that Tesla is anywhere close to "solving self-driving."

They have a history of overblown claims and faulty software in this realm--as much as I adore my car and the disruption Tesla has done to the industry, Tesla does not deserve the benefit of the doubt in this realm, especially not with safety-critical systems.
This video has very little motion blur compared to what you normally see in high quality 4K 24/30 FPS footage (e.g. Hollywood movies). That contributes to the uncanny look, giving it an "animated" or "sped up" feel. Which is funny because most robot demo videos are sped up, but not this one.

If you are asking me personally, my verification experience has been a mixture of manual tests, and writing test scripts in either Python or a custom in-house language. These scripts run in an avionics simulation environment, in which typically there is one avionics component under test, which is running either a desktop build of its code, or running as the actual hardware unit, attached to a desktop via Ethernet or ARINC 429 connections. The other avionics components are then either simulated, or, as needed, running actual code.

(The majority of my avionics work has actually been directly working on such simulation systems, building and certifying them for formal verification use, but I have done some verification work on avionics boxes as well.)

Outside of my personal experience, I am aware of projects using things like TLA+. I suspect that is more common the higher up you go in system criticality. Even within avionics, not every system requires the same level of scrutiny... for example, you need to more exhaustively test a flight controls system than a flight management system.

In any case, the FAA does not dictate particular tools. They dictate a level of quality that any tools used must adhere to (the tools themselves must be certified based on how they are used), but otherwise a project is welcome to use whatever tools they wish. Or, no tools.
