Not necessarily. Usually machines are built to do mundane tasks that humans have to do. In most cases they are built to replace what a human can do.

The argument for having a lidar vs not having a lidar is different. They chose to go without lidar because it should be cheaper and faster to get started, and the fact that people are capable of doing driving without lidar makes it seem possible that a machine could do it without lidar.
>That was supposed to be an honest question with an honest answer. There was no need for a snarky remark.

Well, somewhat snarky. It's still a legimate question.

Why would one "need" plugins on a mobile browser? What kind of functionality that mobile Firefox doesn't provide?

>The topic is about owning your own hardware/software combo - so having addons/customization is the definition of it.

Well, the topic is about owing your computer. Which has some merit (even though owing is a kind of a weasel word: you do own it, even if the OS enforces this or that measure. You can sell it at any time, for example, break it and nobody will ask you to return it, etc.).

So, the real topic is "doing whatever you want with your OS, with the ability to disable all checks, protections, etc, install custom everything etc".

Which I can see the appeal in some cases.

For a mobile phone what exactly is the great appeal?
Mathematician Terence Tao and the Collatz Conjecture (2019/12/11)
Even expecting science to 'converge' to the correct answer is a bit iffy. Don't get me wrong science should definitely be expected to improve and bring forth better theories and models, but accuracy isn't the only performance metric that's relevant here. The words 'converge' and 'correct' are doing a lot of the heavy lifting when you claim science 'converges' upon the 'correct' answer.
If everyone has the license it is useless and you're back to square one.
It does matter. 1 calorie from sugar is more fattening than other calorie sources because your body metabolises sugar directly to fat.

You can see this in action with this procedure (or thought experiment):

1. Lose most of your belly fat so that you look thin.

2. Eat a tub of ice cream. Do this for two nights. You’ll see a lump on your belly. It is 4 pounds of new fat. That won’t happen if you replace ice cream with the same weight of fruit.
Setting Up a Kubernetes Cluster (K3s) Using Raspberry Pi's and Portainer
I think it has to do with desk jobs/sedentary life-style. I believe that before machines/computers came along an average person burned in excess of 3k calories/day toiling in the field or doing some other physical job.

Now I would be surprised if the average person burns more than 2k calories/day. Moreover, once you get to high fat levels your body produces more estrogen like hormones. These indirectly lower your metabolism even further. This is because those hormones impede the synthesis of testosterone, which is highly correlated with muscle-synthesis and muscle fibers are much more metabolic active tissues than fat. A feedback loop that is really hard to escape from.
> This does not, by the way, imply that the machines are working correctly and human drivers are the problem. These cars are rear-ended more often than human drivers, which suggests they stop more suddenly or at times humans don't expect.

I had a look and couldn't find an answer; does their increased rear-ending frequency result in a decrease in head-on collisions? Is waymo getting rear ended to avoid being t-boned (or a head on collision with someone else)?
> Don't put the Yes button right next to the No button. That encourages mistakes. Obviously

Eg. Don't put the "Sound Hawaiian missle alert button" next to the "Test sound Hawaiian missile alert button".
Is it a hard requirement or is it about vendors being overzealous because it also fit their interest?

I know that the law requires some radio equipment to make it hard for users to modify so that they can't mess with some parts of the spectrum.

But for cars, the responsibility is typically of the user, that is, if you modify your car in a way that is not what the manufacturer certified, you can but you have to do by the rules or face the consequences, the manufacturer is not responsible.

But by locking down software hard, it is a way for manufacturers to make sure that they can't be held responsible and the side effect of locking down features is a nice bonus.
Setting up Portainer. Docker Container management made easy
You had me until

> The core syntax of a Makefile is just so close to perfect.

I'd argue what is close to perfect is much of the underlying model/semantics, and what is terrible is very much the syntax. I've long wanted to make something similar to Make but simply with better syntax...
That's a ridiculous statement. Having a self driving car that works in only certain conditions can still be a benefit for the society. It won't benefit you, but it will benefit thousands of others.
It feels like one of those things where the context of the meeting/call should be taken in: was the scheduled time of this call for an hour and you've left 10 minutes in, maybe a confirmation dialog is more useful than when you've decided to leave within a few minutes of the finish time. Doesn't cover all the edge cases etc., but just observing that "the right UX" is super contextual and not a one size fits all thing.
I find it a bit strange that the rewrite is licensed under MIT. Are they doing a clean room reimplement or are they rewriting the core utils by looking at the source code?
Gulag system sucks?

I don't know what country you are from, but I doubt its any with experiences of death camps. Take your non historical post truth head out of your ass and realise that MILLIONS of people were killed in nazi germany, the gulags, by the chinese communists. MILLIONS others were starved to death because food was confiscated from them.

These systems don't SUCK. They were the lowest points of human history.

I'm so fucking angry with apologists like you. You have no idea what people went through.
Twitter and Facebook are monopolies in their respective niches. They are quasi-government entities at this point. They should be subject to a 1A-like rule as well.
that's not an example of "Karens and SJWs who make existing work disappear by having it banned from libraries and/or public marketplaces". That's just vague gesturing at lists of controversial books all of which are readily available.

Did you even go through this list?

Most of them might be "banned" in a few select conservative/christian schools and that's it. Come up with actual examples of the things you are claiming or stop fear-mongering.

I’m a lifelong musician who recently started diving into the world of audio production. I like most music genres and try to experiment with producing a little from each.

Here are a few of my recent tracks that I think turned out ok:

Because you usually work on a desktop, and might have all kind of handy extensions to help you.

You usually view webpages in a very minimal interface, small screen, often on the go or leisurly, and with limited interaction on a mobile phone. So, aside from something like an adblocker (for which there are solutions), what would one use?
Like Andy Warhol's halftones, using a different canvas.
Same in Italy, but that is government enforcing their rules, you can modify the software on your car if you want to, it' s simply illegal.

You can disable airbags, ABS and every other electronic circuit in the car and it's all explained in the car manual.

There might be a good reason to do it (for example the airbag is malfunctioning)

It has nothing to do with the terms of GPLv3
professionally speaking, this is some good shit
It takes conscious effort to break this pattern, and I see otherwise healthy and fit people default to the escalators and elevators every day, people driving short (walkable/cycleable) distances to buy groceries and just a general avoidance of physical activity.

And I live in Copenhagen, so it's not like I don't see tons of people walking and riding bicycles, but a significant number of people seem to really want to avoid any sort of physical activity.

Making a promise to yourself to take the stairs, walk/cycle to the shops, park at the far end of the parking lot, walk up the escalators rather than just standing still, do all of those small things that add up and don't even feel like exercise, could be the best decision you make.
> The government's behavior is more restricted because it has a monopoly on many types of power (law creation and enforcement, for example)

You mention monopolies, yet don't point out that Twitter essentially has a monopoly in its niche. This to me sounds like it should be regulated to include aspects of 1A.
Beyond Usability Testing: Contextual Inquiry
Since Silver Diamine Fluoride is a little newer, it helps to look at Silver Nitrate, which has the same mechanism save for the, you know, fluoride (which is a boon).

Medical management of caries is anathema to assuming seven figures in debt to hang up a license and turn on the lights, and I’m not implying ill will. The first world countries with national healthcare sans dental could use this without coming close to the dental standard of care - a cavity arrested with silver nitrate is actually better to drill and fill since the infection is halted.
I think you are both wrong. The purpose of a certification is to mitigate risk. If the licensor of the software has no money, there is no one to sue, and the risk is not mitigated. I’m not advocating this mentality.
I think the problem is that too many people in government and science believe in the "noble lie".

"Yes, we don't actually believe our prediction, but what does it matter if it's exaggerated? We're doing it in the name of XXX which is a great cause."

Sadly, when those predictions fail to materialise, they become the science equivalent of the Boy who Cried Wolf.
You can just go the settings and disable them if you want. I personally find temporary toggles very useful in daily life.

I don't quite get what the author is talking about. There are some concerns about what proprietary BIOS firmware does, but otherwise pretty much any PC on the market can run whatever software (including the OS) the user installs on them. Or can the author only afford a smartphone?
Pi Crypto
Before taking about Pi I would like tell you about Bitcoin ( BTC

I think you are missing a key element of the equation. It’s not about making money. This isn’t a job replacement, it’s recreation. It’s fun and exciting, it costs money, and we know that.
In hard sciences that might be true but I doubt it’s necessary in tech - see George Hotz.
This crate is a fork of hashlink that builds on top of griddle(or hashbrown) to implement LinkedHashMap & LinkedHashSet .

I made some adjustments to the code to better support custom Hasher . Now it can be run under std and no_std environment, and provides better performance than linked-hash-map .

Please feel free to leave your opinion, if possible, please help me improve the code or use it in your project .
When that was written in 2010 it probably was the fastest grep. It's not like GNU grep is completely devoid of any performance optimisations.

This discussion has been going on for a while. Though it's important to understand what exactly this is about.

Based on current trends the most pessimistic climate scenarios (most notably RCP 8.5) seem unlikely, mostly due to its large use of coal and better development of renewables than what was expected. Important to note: These scenarios became unlikely because human behavior and technology have developed in a different direction from what was projected. It's not about physical predictions being wrong.

There is a big caveat in all of this: There is still a lot of uncertainty in the understanding of the climate system and feedback loops. This may very well mean that a) RCP 8.5 is unlikely, because humanity will never use that much coal, but b) it could still be just as bad in terms of warming, because climate effects are worse than we thought.

> I keep another copy of my 2FA codes in another application, so it's not a very big problem from my PoV, though.

It's not a problem if you took measures to make sure you have a copy. It's a problem if you just take "full backups" for granted until you figure out that some things don't get included in "full".
This does not surprise me in the least. The two services also (used to [1]) try to trick you into subscribing to their premium offerings by showing whole-page ads when you log in occasionally with a huge "Yes, I'd love a free trial" button and only a tiny "No, thank you" in the fine print.

> Have those even crossed the point where they produced more energy than what was used in their production yet?

Yes, and they do so since the 1980s. Pardon the snark, but did you try to illustrate the article's topic?
Off-topic, but I'd like to give this line of thinking a name some day:

> this particular problem is apparent even to a blockhead like me

> So it must be extremely obvious

"I'm not an expert, and even I can see that" sounds reasonable, but it's often used to disagree with experts. Whereas it's not unlikely that while it may look obvious to a layman, someone with more familiarity with a problem might know about non-obvious trade-offs that come with the "obvious" solution.

All of which doesn't necessarily relate to the article, the rest of which I'm going to read now - I just found it interesting, and wanted to share.
I wish we had an automatic sticky on all Stephen Wolfram posts to not talk about his self-aggrandising tendencies.

It's not that I don't agree that he does it, it's just that moaning about it happens on nearly 100% of hackernews comment threads about his content, and it's generally much much less interesting than the usually very interesting content.
I myself graduated as one such commodity PhD student, and I don’t consider it as a derogatory term, mere reality. Contrast to regular jobs, the PhD nowadays is more like the arts where the top candidates disproportionately reap the benefits. If you’re not at a top tier university or a star advisor your academic prospects are middling from the beginning. Not saying you can’t make it happen, a lot of my friends do, but it’s a slog and the system is biased against you. In the end there’s limited money and you’re directly competing the stars I just talked about before. Some people are just monumentally better at everything so it’s just not fun competing with a very small pie at hand.

That looks and sounds like a deathtrap. Does it really try to strap the person to a hospital bed, underwater...?

Won't that drown the person if the robot is too slow or malfunctions?

> Many swimming pools in Germany do not have enough trained lifeguards and in many places, this skilled labor shortage is even leading to closures.

> One reason for this is the countrywide lack of trained life-guards to watch over pools.

So the reasoning is: job training for lifeguards is not feasible (why?), so we should develop super expensive robots that local pools can't afford.

Honestly this sounds like a made up problem, used as an excuse to get public funding for a pet project. I wish science was open and not commoditized, as then projects and efforts like this (computer vision) could more easily find actually useful real world applications.
That's very interesting to know. I guess that's an ultimate solution to my problems then, rebuilding once a year is perfectly acceptable.

Form vs. Affordance
Manufacturers want to use free as beer software, but want to avoid expenses required to upkeep free software, or share these expenses with competitors.

As developer of free software, I don't care about those, who don't care about me.
They need quality; Being fast, frature-ful, open APIs with good wrapper libraries, and not having tons of bugs.

While WhatsApp already sucks (each time I try their bloody web app after years it still doesn’t work), other apps have solid quality. Telegram is easily two orders of magnitude more valuable to me than Matrix.
Along these lines, I admit with shame that lately I’ve been switching to airplane mode before looking up or modifying a contact, because it’s not obvious to me which combination of symbol-labelled buttons will do this without initiating a phone call. I feel old.
The wind mills that were built in the 80ies are already scrapped, afaik they only last 20 years.

How long does it take for a modern wind mill to produce as much energy as it took to produce it?

Edit: a lot of estimates for 6 to 9 months seem to be floating around, but this one cites several years at least for economic break even (not exactly the same as CO2 break even, but perhaps an approximator) https://weatherguardwind.com/how-much-does-wind-turbine-cost...

Of course, pick the estimate that suits your ideology!
The safety record of human drivers is very different between different countries. There are places where drunk driving is the norm and there are places where it almost never happens, et cetera. So there is definitely something going on there.

Refined carbs aren't a problem, but what you do with them might be. Eating 200g of pasta with a low fat sauce is not good. But in France and Italy they eat bread and pasta a lot, but it always comes with butter or oil. 125g of pasta is enough for a man as a main meal if it's prepared the Italian way.
2FA is about having a factor which changes everytime you use it so if the medium is intercepted somehow the account isn't permanently compromised.

TOTPs can't be reasonably made much longer then they are while still usefully entered, but my password database never leaves my own devices and neither does the password to it.

If someone compromises my phone to the level they can get that database, then they've already got my Google Authenticator or whatever DB as well anyway.
In my experience looking at the source code of programs written in a different language is rarely helpful. It's only useful to glean some general ideas or algorithms. But rewriting with one eye on some C code? Rarely helpful and usually counterproductive.

For sausages and bacon and similar cured red meat, the issue is that processing often involves nitrites, which create carcinogenic compounds and are associated with colon cancer specifically.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_(food_preservation)#Nit...

Still, the added risk is not massive and unless you eat bacon and sausage every day, there are probably other and more important carcinogenic factors in your life that you need to care more about. The calories and saturated fats in most cured red meats are more likely to adversely affect your health.
