I agree that you can glue flat paper in a way that connects disparate points without making it spherical and thus breaking the Euclidean properties: parallel lines, sum of angles in a triangle, distance, except for the teleport points. You can draw two lines parallel to a given line through a given non-teleport point: one passing through a teleport, another not passing.

Since the very notion of a line or a distance in the Mountain Valley world is ill-defined, I would not call it Euclidean either, even though each static configuration of it may be Euclidean, minus doors (which are teleports again).
I have a similar sensibility when it comes to generators. I grew up in the northeast and there were two ice storms I remember where we lost power for over a week. After the second, my parents got a gas generator that could be refueled when it ran out - even while the power was still out.

If they were buying today I'm sure many would recommend some type of electric powerwall to store energy but I'm doubtful in the situations you need it the most it would be there. And the whole point of getting a generator is not to provide you with electricity for the time you lost it for three hours - but for the one in ten year storm that leaves you without power for a week.
>I think the key is finding the discipline style to ensure we live well considering our environment is way too lax and permissive of unhealthy behaviors.

I agree strongly with this. Part of what I was hoping to do (and seeing the effect) is change a more subtle prompt, the apps the iPhone suggests based on prior behavior. By tying my habit tracking to opening more “healthy” apps, I’d see them show up more often on the home screen. And hopefully be less likely to use “less healthy apps”.
I'm sorry for you and your family's loss.

I am at the same level of loss-shock as you, I suspect. My mom lives and my grandma lived on the Iron Range in Minnesota, so a very rural area, which seemed to help keep infections at bay for a while.

It's been incredibly hard for my mom, because my grandma was her best friend and her rock. The day she passed, I remember my mom saying "I never got a last hug", which was heart breaking. My mom has MS, so there was no possibility of her visiting her through that whole process.

It's been really hard. I want to see my mom and give her a hug. But I also don't trust the time in between getting the results of a negative test to feel confidant about visiting her.

Hopefully we'll all find some closure once we have a chance to grieve together, properly. There are many memorial/celebration services that have been postponed. I hope we can reach the day where we can hold them safely together.
I don't disagree! I just think people misinterpret "move fast and break things" and use it anytime something breaks. I realize it's a nuanced point.
Fauci was pretty explicit about it in the linked interview:

> “When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent,” Dr. Fauci said. “Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85.”

I think it’s fair to characterize this as dishonesty, and to be less charitable about whether his past communications were in retrospect honest.

Exactly, sexual predators and molesters shouldn't be given just a slap on the wrist because they had a few drinks first.

Sex crimes in general are routinely downplayed as it is. Something like 99% of reported rapes don't lead to prosecution. And men (it's overwhelming men who rape) know this, and know they can basically get away with it. It's disgraceful.

I didn't realize anyone was doing that type of geometric design in 1879. Way ahead of its time. Can't have been easy to make.
I guess something like:

foo bar {
...styles
}

foo bar baz {
...more styles
}

foo bar baz > bim {
...even more
}

foo bar baz > bim:not(bop) {
...stuff
}

instead of a more SCSS like syntax:

foo bar {
...styles
& baz {
...more styles
& > bim {
...even more
&:not(bop)
...stuff
}
}
}
}

SCSS seems like it gets out of control after a while though without rigor from the developers. The last app I worked on had a half-assed SCSS approach that started off with a decent base, and then got tacked onto with a ton of ad-hoc styles that weren't nested where they "belonged." Inconsistent usage of paddings/margins everywhere. It was a mess.
I think the Unix philosophy which many of us strive to do would have key pieces of software do as few of things as possible, so divesting from print allows other applications to do that better.

> in the long run FSD will save more lives and Musk should be praised for having the gumption to get the ball rolling.

In the long run, for the historical perspective, this is a very plausible outcome. It's happened before (any major construction projects prior to the 1950's, anything involving Thomas Edison, most large damming projects), where a historical event is tied to a bunch of dead innocents, but history books praise the vision and determination of the ones in charge to not give up just because a few measly blue collars kicked the bucket early.
How is the existence of other people proof of signalling theory? I believe you exist. Signalling theory could, for example, say I am holding up this argument on the internet because I want to show others how persistent I am. How does your existence prove or disprove why I am saying what I am saying?
> Compare that to Waymo or Cruise or anyone else. They are obviously heavily censoring and have no independent owners recording footage, nor sharing it like this. It's a huge step up in much needed transparency.

You clearly haven't searched Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/c/JJRicksStudios is one such channel which frequently posts videos of his Waymo rides. There are others if you search, not so much volume as Tesla though.

It's a natural human tendency to get distracted, especially when we are not engaged with a task (as with autopilot). Driving manually physically engages your body in the task, making it harder to get distracted. On the other hand intervening is subject to distraction and longer response times.
The only times I have ever had accidents or close calls in a car (where another driver was not at fault for e.g. reckless driving behavior) has been with cruise control or with auto keep lane - the former I spun out, the later it tried to drive me off of a highway at 70 mph repeatedly.

The sorts of assistive technologies that would actually help are not really being worked on, assistive has been misunderstood as meaning "allowing the driver to be lazier".

Sure - if Tesla pulls it off, it's great. But it's a gamble with more than just Teslas stock, that is what makes Elon an unethical sociopath here...

Waymo's approach is assuredly safer, there is still the possibility of technical glitches but it the approach doesn't create more problems with humans than it solves.

Yes, sure, humans can be dangerous, but if that's the problem then it's safest to just not get on the road period, kinda negates the whole point of an FSD though...
I agree with everything you've said. It's a sorry state of affairs just how many people here are brushing off drunk driving as an unserious offense.
At least one of the better restaurants I know of in my area seems to have its own online ordering set up and functional, I'm assuming they have needed to cut out the cost of grubhub etc just to survive. Nice to see it working for them.

Another one seems to be using something called ChowNow, which appears to have monthly fees instead of commissions, which I imagine might also make a big difference financially to its clients.
I’d be interested in reading your formal write up. It’d be interesting to see the issue as you understand it.
> I avoid using cruise control and auto-lane-keep for the same reasons. Either I am in control or I am not.

Do you also turn off features like ABS, ESC, traction control etc?
Knowing that you killed two innocent young people would certainly be a huge consequence for most people, one that they would never get over. I think by comparison some jail time would be almost inconsequential. If the former isn't a deterrent, I don't see how the latter would be, psychopaths excepted perhaps.

Yes, I’m sure they love being able to make younger people pay them millions for a house they bought for $10 in 1950. Good thing state and federal law are available to stop them from being extortionists.

Also note, the people who need to buy these houses aren’t immigrants, they’re the homeowners’ children. The population of California is decreasing because the younger natives are leaving. Similarly, homeless people here are mostly natives, not shipped in for the good weather.
No. No we have not.
Are you a physician, work in medical education, or have some other sort of broader source of information than that of a patient? I've primarily had experience as a patient, but it certainly wasn't what you describe. Obviously anybody limited to a patient's perspective wouldn't have anything more than anecdotal data.

Though back in the day, I did support for a CD-ROM based CME product... It was simple software so most of the people who called were in their 70s and 80s and not very comfortable with technology. They all seemed pretty concerned with learning the new stuff.

This is how I feel. My brain is pretty damn autonomous while driving. If I have to still pay attention to my “self-driving” car, that seems both more dangerous and taxing than just letting my brain do all the driving.
What happens when a deer crosses the road?

What happens when there's a fire along the highway (e.g California)?

What happens when there's debris and objects in the road?

What happens if a car needs to make an emergency stop?

Where do you place these new roads?

Do they require roads to be re-built or can they be added to existing roads?

What is the cost of replacing the entire highway and city infrastructure?

The AV companies decided that the simpler problem is to have AI that works on highways, then incrementally teach it how to handle more complex situations. This is the most additive solution, whereas your solution is not necessarily additive and does not necessarily preclude the need for AI.
I doubt that regulators will just sign off on self driving tech across the board. I imagine that it will be transitioned in starting with freeways / motorways - in which case, the question is probably a technicality.
> There’s basically never a real distinction between string absent and string blank

Oh, child. If someone came to me claiming that something not existing was the same as that thing existing but being empty, I might be inclined to refer them to a remedial course on logic.
I’m not sure what that has to do with my comment. Neither I nor the Waymo CEO said you need lidar to drive.
That’s not really what federated ml means, unless they are doing the gradient updates from the cars directly.
> There’s basically never a real distinction between string absent and string blank

On the contrary, this comes up all the time; there are plenty of times when blank really is a valid value, and even if blank isn't a valid value, abusing it as a representation for "unknown" is bad for all the usual reasons in-band signalling is bad.

> you would need to record it as a bool or enum that clearly lays out “this is really blank and not just we don’t know it” or whatever.

An actual sum type is a million times better than using two awkwardly coupled fields. Type systems without sum types are a joke and there's no excuse for using them in the current millenium.
Remains to be seen. I think the hope from a lot of Tesla owners is that they improve quality control so they can stay in the ecosystem.

One thought: do we need herd immunity at all? Wait, hold off pushing the downvote button.

Why is this virus a problem? Not strictly because of deaths, although one would want to avoid unnecessary ones. It's due to the pressure on the healthcare system, because many people end up hospitalized, even though most of them recover (more on long COVID at the end of the post).

The vast majority of people ending up in hospitals are also belonging in the "at risk" population. To relieve pressure on the healthcare system, these must be vaccinated (along with healthcare workers). But once the most vulnerable and the most at risk of hospitalization are vaccinated, the pressure on the healthcare system should lower or cease for the most part (and the early data from Israel seem to indicate just that).

Of course, vaccination should continue (for those who want to get vaccinated), but with the risk of overwhelming hospitals gone completely, it would not be a problem. So society should reopen. And yes, in this case the virus will become endemic (it almost is already, save for a handful of places).

What about the others? Aside those who vaccinate, those recovered who did not have serious complications can go on like normal, like everyone else. According to data from Qatar[1] the risk of reinfection is low, and, most importantly, the vast majority of reinfections are asymptomatic (and asymptomatic people spread much less than symptomatic people, FTR[2]). In the context of the virus mutating towards (in the timespan of years, rather than months) completely escaping immunity, it is much better to rely on a combination of vaccination and natural immunity, so that subsequent, possible reinfections are not severe. That would also give time to adjust the vaccines if need be.

Unfortunately even throwing natural immunity along with vaccination is now a taboo topic, given how politicized the debate has become.

"What about long COVID?" some people may say. Well, the problem with long COVID is that, while it certainly exists, it is poorly characterized. Most studies lack a baseline before infection (or rely on self-reporting), so it is hard to determine what and for how long happens after an infection. Lastly, "regular" pneumonia can actually wreck someone for months or even a year, and some of these issues we're seeing may due to that: we're just seeing them at an increased rate because more people are experiencing that.

Believe it or not, this is very similar to how we handled the guest list for our fraternity parties in the early/mid 2000s at CMU.

Everyone who wanted to explicitly invite certain guests (we actually had to keep a fairly strict door for a variety of reasons, not least of which was that a good frat party at CMU could have 300-400 people there concurrently) would have to create a text file in their public folder on Andrew, chmod that file to be read, and place with line separators up to 10 Andrew userIDs to be read and compiled by a script.

It worked fantastically, aided no doubt by the fact that our house was ~50% ECE, CS, or IS majors.
FSD is all about collecting insane amount of data about edge cases that happen in the real world. Tesla has built the infrastructure for this, and will win the FSD race by a wide margin.

There is absolutely zero chance that Qualcomm could exist without being able to protect its IP in court. The model of their licensing business is to do years of R&D, then spend years selling rights to the work product to pay for the next cycle of R&D. Cost of revenues for the licensing business (R&D) are out of sync with the sales that they later generate. Licensing revenue was 40% of QCOM's total revenue last quarter. How exactly do you suggest they make money by selling IP without a legal environment that protects their contracts and patents?

Same goes for ARM. Their entire business is making and licensing designs internationally. That's what they do. That's how they make money.

> The thing is, just macros, or verilog code alone is near useless without tons of documentation, spoonfeeding by ARM FAEs, and tooling support.

Looking at past cases, I think this is an extremely poor characterization of how infringement actually happens. More likely,

(A) customers (or former customers) use licensed technology for which they underpay (or refuse to pay); or

(B) competitors hiring engineers from customers or former customers to compete with the company.
How are we being pushed into socialism and what policies being pushed are socialist? I don't see businesses being made public, nor do I see workers gaining any control over business or economic decisions.
> there's strains

And? The world doesn't end when new strains of the cold or the flu happen. Every year. As it's happened for as long as there have been humans.

COVID is here to stay.
I think the parent comment was making the same point as you. We, but mostly Tesla, should be educating people on why autopilot doesn't mean it drives itself in all situations. While buying a car[0], the furthest the webpage goes is:

> automatic driving from highway on-ramp to off-ramp including interchanges and overtaking slower cars

And while it does all of this very well right now, there still is that piece of text at the bottom:

> The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.

Honestly Tesla is doing the bare minimum here to have plausible deniability, but the text at the bottom really should be the same size as the text above it.

This is is kind of a long shot, but if anyone is looking for an open source project to contribute to, IMO Krita is very close to being a full-fledged matte painting tool for VFX workflows, but it needs a color corrector for scene linear colours. I've outlined what I think it should do here:
https://krita-artists.org/t/color-corrector-for-scene-linear...

I think the biggest hurdle to clear is that it needs a custom color widget, the OS widgets are not suitable due to assuming a 0...1 range.

Krita's a great piece of software and I readily admit I'm jus shamelessly trying to get someone to fix my pet peeve. But I also really do think this one feature is mostly what stands in the way of ditching Photoshop and using Krita for VFX work. In many other ways, including OpencolorIO support natively, Krita is already way ahead of Adobe's offering.
The micrograph shown in that link was taken from this NEJM article, which clearly says that the patients in the study died from Covid:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2015432

Dying from Covid is not “asymptomatic Covid”. So your evidence for this phenomenon consists of a local news article where they’ve quoted the opinion of one person, mis-represented a figure from a journal article, and showed x-rays with no citations or context.
The Mac Mini page on the Apple site specifically calls out "Connect one external display up to 6K and a second with HDMI 2.0 up to 4K." Under the thunderbolt 4 section, if it had more output capability they would have been proud to say it.

I don't think it's so much a bandwidth question, display outputs aren't encapsulated in Thunderbolt they are an alternate mode for some lines in the cable and the device still has to have the display output uniquely routed internally.
Isn’t sharing it publicly already a counter argument to “I don’t care if nobody knows about it”? Thus you wouldn’t have to falsify.

We could think of a scenario where his neighbor shares information about his (the authors) garden. In this case, if the author would seek measures to delete these posts, it might be interpreted as “signaling that he does not care and even doesn’t want others to know”.

I agree with you that signaling always shows intention (ie wanting something). You can “want not to want something”, though (:
> I wish there was a nice wrapper dedicated to abstracting hardware support

The NetBSD kernel has the ability to be built as a library, letting various drivers be used in other ways -- it's called a "rump kernel" [0]. I've never played with it myself but my understanding is that this would be sufficient to provide drivers in one's own kernel, given enough plumbing and shims and such.

(With enough shims one could borrow drivers from any kernel -- see ndiswrapper to use Windows network-card drivers in Linux -- but the rump kernel scaffolding is supposed to make it easier.)
