> Isn't it a bit weird to have someone who is not Native American tell an actual Native American how they should feel.

Not. Human experience is universal. Every single human in the planet can understand how other humans feel. We all have experienced similar events before and can provide solid advice about it to fellow humans.

"You can't understand me, because I'm ... (native /black / woman / trans / philatelic...) and you aren't" is a very popular opinion. Very popular, very gratifying, and totally wrong.
Funny, this is the first time I've ever heard anything say that it's expected to have highly degraded performance by default.

EDIT: Key words: Highly Degraded Performance. This isn't the occasional disconnect or lag spike. It's frequent disconnects and lag spikes.
Are you just generally writing about green energy, or about the Telsa battery (the subject of this discussion)? As the ancestor comment noted, the battery saved money, and saving money doesn't increase costs.
But it's okay because racism has been redefined and therefore your definition of racism is no longer valid.

Israel also just signed a bunch of peace deals. With this network easily expanded to those countries.

So long as Israel plans for a future where such arrangements get rescinded, they could safely operate an energy market across the middle east and parts of Europe.

Could be a good counter way to counter russian oil, and pave way for a very lucrative post-oil society. Middle eastern countries have a lot of solar and empty land for energy-storage. With many of these middle eastern countries having the capital for large green-tech investments.
What's right isn't always legal, often it isn't. And what's wrong isn't always illegal. At the end of the day, I think it's everyone's highest priority to do what's legal, rather than what's "right".
Don't, just price it into the project and leave it down there.
It makes a lot of sense to specify energy in Wh in electrical engineering. It's much easier to convert to other useful measurements involving volts, amps, and watts than joules are.
Lots of the best (by a number of standards) poetry ever written is deeply political.
I assume they're referring to Rand Paul (and also Ron Wyden) who have both made assertions that the executive branch has it's own secret interpretations of the laws that were passed post-9/11. The laws themselves are not secret, but what the government thinks they authorize is.

Huh? You can buy a very cheap used ThinkPad for <$200 and run GNU/Linux on it. In fact, I don’t see any mention of Linux in this article.
My understanding is that the "multiplicative factor" can typically be mostly attributed to what I call "quality of organization". Not to be confused with efficiency, the quality of organization is measure of how smoothly things go. For example, how likely it is that you are going to be distracted from your task, how much unpredictable synchronous coordination you need to complete your task, etc. An organization which can plan more of its work will have higher quality and an organization where more of its work is of unplanned nature will have lower quality.

There are some possible exceptions. For example, some organizations may have a lot of work unplanned but that unplanned work is segregated to not affect people working on planned work, etc. For example, you may have operations and development teams where operation absorbs most of the unplanned stuff and only rarely bothers the development.

Now, just because work can be accurately planned doesn't mean the organization is efficient. As an example, military tends to be relatively quite good at planning, very inefficiently (ignore the latest failed high profile project...) On the other hand startups tend to be more efficient while also less predictable environments.

I like to think that at some scale of the project some level of trust in projections is necessary to be able to even organize the project. So some drop in efficiency is acceptable in order to be able to plan work.
Not yet, no. A sister comment indicates that it's expected (news to me and my colleague) until more satellites are in place.
If one does not take the time needed to review ALL copied code which is to be included in a project then is that particular individual held responsible for the entirety of an impacting negative result should that code be the source of said impact? The individual was tasked with 'complete this portion of the project' and instead of writing the code and bettering their understanding of said project, of which they will very likely be a source of knowledge to support, the individual saved themselves the mental effort and included copied code. I have also seen the exact same “corner cutting” in the M$ world where developers submit an expense report in which they purchased a component library without ANY consideration of the licensing or the production costs around that components production architectural deployment. As to my latter point you will find the Payment Card Industry (PCI) planning or soon requiring third party assertions on black box code components used in a system but as a multi decade payments entrepreneur/architect/developer this is pure foolishness because if you do not own all the code AND understand it there is no way to know what it may do in the future.

Would you consume candy from a stranger? Would you pick up a piece of candy off the ground which appears unaltered and consume it? When one applies logic to other life safety situations hopefully some can see the analogous similarities to just picking up code off the ground and putting it into one's mouth.

This sh!t storm is just getting started as more and more “no code” businesses are introduced and industries adopt the “easy way” in fear of missing out on “exponential” income. Most are taught at a very young age that fire is hot but until one gets burned the concept of hot is not personally comprehended. The majority of people are lazy and will always take the easy route but as the world comes to learn from more and more catastrophic global breaches, easy is very often not secure.

Now consider critical to life medical device companies that copy code without review.

Wow she seems toxic, feel bad for the people who hired her and the old coworkers
I have a similar feeling, but with modern smartphones.

Owning my computer is still relatively possible. I can build a computer from parts which I can choose, and have a choice in which operating system to install on them. Laptops are slightly more closed, but even on those I can choose the OS myself.

Modern smartphones however, seem like walled gardens in which I have no control at all. I cannot choose any of the parts, and even doing simple reparation tasks like replacing a battery is a nightmare these days. I am locked into a single OS on my smartphone, which either spies on you or is locked down even more. Every iteration a bit more control is taken away from the user. And its increasingly hard to step away from them, since a lot of normal interactions such as banking almost requires you to have such a phone.

Both Android and iOS suck. I've made my own Android phone tolerable with F-Droid and trying to ungoogle it as much as possible. But unfortunately I find myself locked into using google play services since solutions like MicroG just don't cut it. They lock me out of slightly too much of my daily smartphone usage (note that this is definitely not the MicroG's developers fault, they have done amazing work).
Sending false DMCA Takedown requests needs to be punishable with a fine per offense. Poorly implemented automation can't be allowed to happen like this.

One of the worst cases I've ever seen was YouTube taking down TheFatRat's own song because some record label claimed to own it. https://twitter.com/thisisthefatrat/status/10729330469391933...

EDIT: Apparently filing false DMCA claims is indeed a criminal action. I guess it's either very poorly enforced, or very strictly defined as to not apply to most situations that are obviously wrong.
Tesla batteries can operate in freezing temperatures in heat mode.
Sure, you have a valid point. However, a tangential argument can be made that, exactly due to banks lending money to buy houses, houses have essentially been priced out for regular people..

If you see educational costs, at one point in the 70s I think, the govt decided to offer loans so that students wouldn't need to do a job on the side to fund their education. Now it's ballooned to become such a mess..

Most veterinarians who buy practices buy their businesses "for free". There is usually a large bank loan and a small seller loan. The deal is structured to pay a decent salary and cover the debt in 10-15 years.

There are several underlying concerns. One is a persistent redefinition of words to suit a political narrative. Another is the rejection of words without consideration or analysis of what the words mean.

I've worked with two startups in this space.

Restaurants are pretty bad customers. Not tech-savvy, high churn, can suddenly stop paying with no warning, don't have a lot of money.

They won't be seeking you out, so you've got to do phone sales or even in person, then you're only charging a few hundred bucks? Doesn't work.

It's one of the worst segments you can target, especially as you'll essentially be up against them simply having a Facebook business page or something like Wix with a PDF menu on it.

I wasn't saying level 3 was "full self driving". Nobody had mentioned FSD in this comment thread. I'm just saying that level 3 isn't inherently dangerous.

> Full self-driving to me means that I can act as if there's an Uber driver at the controls. As far as I'm concerned, it's either that or I'm paying full attention even if I'm not fully controlling the vehicle.

> It's one thing or the other. You're being fairly vigilant and looking ahead and ready to take control or you're a passenger.

It's the latter option.

In level 3 there's an Uber driver but they might have you take over at some point. You're not in control at all, a passenger until the car tells you otherwise. You don't have to have any vigilance or looking ahead, you just have to be awake.
I would say it's been a solved problem for all movies. We all know what sells and have for 100 years. People claiming modern movies are all sequels, prequels, and unoriginal aren't really paying attention. We've been telling the same stories for the past 2000 years with the same archetypes, skeletal plots, and emotional presentations. 4 out of 5 times I can tell you what is going to happen at any point in a given movie. All the stories have been told. Critics like to act like this or that is original, but it's really not and they know it. What makes a good movie is acting, immersiveness, humanity, and coherence.
Wasm too. Bytecode 0 is "unreachable" and executing it produces a trap.
> why purchasing power stays the same when efficiency increases since 1971.

i would expect that purchasing power remains consistent for people doing the same work.

It's true that capital gains is captured by those who own the capital - but those who do own such capital had to take capital risk to obtain such gains.

Labour income (aka, wage income) increased if the labour changed to be more efficient without said use of capital - for example, programmers' income is very high. But for someone whose labour output hasn't changed from the 70's, is it expected that their purchasing power somehow increases (compared to someone else's)?
I wasn't even necessarily defending the practice, just explaining the reason for it and why it's universal.

I agree there should be better feedback. If they are annoying, have the decency to tell them why and point out a few things so they don't go from job to job wondering why they don't fit in.
That kind of wealth is never just cash in an account. It's spread across thousands of assets and investments.

For example, they are often LPs that invest in VC funds to give them cash which is then given to startups to build a business.

Re: "I actually didn't get any hassle as a PhD student, possibly since I was a mature student and wouldn't take any shit, I didn't need to get into any fights but I was willing to and I guess that comes out as confidence."

That's part of general "people skills". Many of us in STEM have a shortage of them, to be honest, and thus it's a "solution" that's not always easy to come by.
Depends on what you mean by politics. Poems that don't engage in the specific electoral politics of the day? Yes. Politics in the sense that all interactions that involve more than one person are political (ie the nothing burger that is "everything is political")? Probably not, no.

Reminds me of the saying about how "if you want to make an apple pie from scratch, first you have to make the universe."
I'm just being terse. Happy to expand but it seems the sentiment is not well received here.
It is the first paragraph, of the first FAQ answer on their website:

> There will also be brief periods of no connectivity at all.

Most articles or videos about the Beta has mentioned just that as a limitation (along with being geo-locked, both due to lack of coverage right now).
Mostly what the parent commenter has said. In fact anywhere where I'd put my effort and add content for free I'd only start using that service as a creator/contributor when these are parts of the feature set and T&C:

- you'd let users easily export and delete their data/account
- that you'd give users time to export their data in an easily readable format and also delete their account (with assurance that data will actually be deleted), if you are planning something that might change these possibilities -- a sale, a VC thingie
- you'd give this option in the UI/app itself and not via an email or support request

Till then, I'd either not use the service or just use as a parasite.

Bitter experiences and all that.

--

I like the font. However, the UI feels more like a blog, and it's not intuitive to me what I want to do with it.

UX is clunky on Firefox with default uBlockOrigin turned on. And yes, no way to delete the account. Well..
This is not just for cases in which you are at risk of going to jail.

I was once offered part of my compensation in stock, and in what I'm sure they thought was an act of generosity (and motivation to take more stock vs cash), it included a 25% discount on whatever stock I took at the end of the contract.

I had a vague recollection about this stock backdating and other issues, so I tracked down an attorney with extensive practical & teaching experience in tax and corporate law.

One of the best moves I've ever made.

He told me absolutely to NOT accept any such discount, as it was seriously illegal to offer anything different from actual real-time Fair Market Value (with a lot of criteria for determining FMV), and the penalties were draconian, not only for the employer, but for the employee.

So draconian that my take-away was: if I got caught accepting such discounts, it would be better in every way to just give the IRS my business and personal checkbooks and tell them to just take whatever they needed and come back when they were done. An then go live as an impoverished monk.

The best value of attorneys is not to dig you out of a hole, it is that they can provide guidance to avoid falling into the pit in the first place.
on the chance that I might sound naive, how does this supposedly work in regard to judicial review?
> Will this ever end?

It remains an interesting question. Is there any way to reclaim the autonomy and ethos of freedom from the earlier part of the digital era?

I'm not sure how that would look. I don't mean in terms of a set of hardware and software solutions.

I mean technology that's actually for the end users, available to everyone with curiosity as the only barrier to entry. It sounds like a utopian delusion even though it existed not so long ago.

I'm not sure there's a realistic way to get there from here. I'd love to be wrong about that though.

Yeah, I figured that most of the previously microcoded CISC instructions were basically software at this point.
I think the point is that the program is useless unless it outputs _something_. And when it does, it can leak. This isn't a mind blowing concept.
> This is obviously unrealistic for most people

I think this is an inherent contradiction - if you want to be in total control of your computer while not knowing how totally control your computer, you are never going to get what you want. You are always going to have to put your trust in someone else to manage your computer. Some of those people might be more trustworthy than others, but you are still trusting in someone else to manage your computer.
> I know, I'm supposed to be modest but it is the truth.

I don't think you were downvoted because you were immodest (although I'm sure it didn't help) but because your comment doesn't contribute much to the discussion.

Do you have any comments on the content of the article? Do you have any estimation techniques to share? What were the deadlines based on?
I generally agree with you here, but all opponents of cancel culture are not on the right. E.g. me. I can count on one hand the number of republicans I've voted for -- none of which were at the federal level.

It's wrong when people on the right do it, as well as now when those on the left do it.
Societal status aside, how does it pay?
> If the problems are different a different utility function may be appropriate.

The claim of the paper is that you can derive an appropriate rational solution for each problem using a single technique.

> How so? EE works only with an infinite number of periods.

Afaik this is not correct - EE does not require the problem to have an infinite number of periods, rather it is saying that you cannot assume that the temporal integral is equal to the ensemble integral, and that you must act accordingly. You have to (in principle) integrate the whole time series of interest - this can be done over your uncertainty, but requires no utility function, a simple expectation will do.
Ownership can also be seen as a gradient of more or less specific, but separate thought models along axes like "level of personal control" and "level of personal interest". I think it's fair to say you can "own" something you don't understand, maybe more fair, the more you're willing to clarify your ownership stake and ownership needs, if you have them...

Certainly the author of the article could clarify a few different areas for better leverage though, for example their desired state of the "mine"-ness of their data in transit vs. their data at rest on their client's side of things. Do they need to "own" their ISP?

And what's a hidden agenda from the factory--are we meant to intuit that without the author's help? Does it include software feature choice influenced by profit motives, or is the author talking about their subjective workflow being interrupted by something that is meant to fit a broader type or category of user?

I think the author could use at least a few different methods to organize and arrange some precise outcomes, and would then be well on their way to achieving what they want without needing to burden their imagination so much (286? Yikes, my PS/2 Model 30 was so nice to be done with...maybe excepting the keyboard) from the outset.
Wow. I’m actually at a loss for words. I think we’re in deep, deep shit as a society if this is what a significant percentage of the younger generations believe (and from what I’ve seen, it is). Not from the point of view of “you’re bad, I’m good”, but that no country can survive this kind of radically different outlook on life from subsequent generations. It even surpasses the 60s.

> But I think it's perfectly normal to not want to be the centre of anyone's attention while your doing knowledge / technical work

You are indeed involved in a skill-sharing - well, demonstrating - session where you are meant to convey meaningful information about your abilities as a colleague to the audience. Your analogy has therefore directly fallen apart.

Also, I am not really sure what you are getting at with this language, but in general, if I was to have an interviewee who was to state the interview "fucking irritates" them, it would most certainly not be a successful interview.

Taking a good faith chomp at what you've said, representing an interview as "performance art" when it is probably trying to suss out your skills again seems like the kind of lack-of-social-skills that I would love to suss out in an interview. It's not like you are going to be asked to understand and implement a distributed algorithm for the first time in your life, they will take topics that should be at-worst adjacent to your knowledge base and ask you about them.

In an interview, I expect the interviewee, as someone claiming they have the capability to be my colleague, to then demonstrate that we can discuss, reason about, and explore in real-time solutions to problems. If you consider the mere act of collaborating with a colleague "performance art", it most certainly is a bad sign for how well your knowledge base will filter to the team thru any means except them reading your code.
I think most do not consider a truck or an RV to be a "car". The literal definition doesn't seem to make a distinction though, strangely.
