> ROCm on consumer cards isn't a priority for AMD, since profits are small compared to the datacentre market and there's not that many people actually using consumer hardware for this kind of work.

I think causality runs the other way: Profits are small and there aren't many people using AMD cards for this _because_ the developer experience for GPGPU on AMD is terrible (and that because it's not a priority for AMD).
The language here is critical. The question is where your focus lies, and at level 3 autonomous driving, there are situations where your focus can be elsewhere besides the specific road conditions.

You are assuming “aware” means “ready to take over in an instant”. That is not what it means in this context.
There’s a fictional story about a girl going off to college and writing a letter to her parents (pre internet days). She laments about getting injured, her dormitory catching fire, and getting pregnant. But at the end of the letter, she reveals that none of those things happened and in reality she is just getting some bad grades.

Even though it’s not real, I find this kind of framing to be useful in real life situations. When something bad happens, it can easily feel like that was the worst possible thing that could have happened. And your reaction might match that feeling. But the reality is if you’re still alive, it probably wasn’t such a big deal and you think about it in the context of what would actually be the worst thing that could have happened.
That's why I use gandi.net.

Hot salt is very corrosive.

For how often it is promoted one would think practical problems containing it were already worked out, but I only find failures.
It's enforcement for the sake of enforcement.

"Racism" used to mean that you were actually and actively promoting a racist mindset. Now the Leftist Mob persecutes people for, essentially, making mistakes that superficially
look like racism. Donald G. McNeil was fired and cancelled from the New York Times for asking whether someone used a racial slur, in the context of talking about racial slurs. A Chinese professor was cancelled for teaching a Mandarin word that sounds (vaguely) like a racial slur.

Nobody really thinks any of these people are racist. But control must be enforced, that is the point. Catching someone uttering a "forbidden word" is just an excuse.

The point isn't to eliminate racism, sexism, or any of these other bigoted discriminations which have long been illegal in the US. The point is to exercise absolute control over our thoughts, expressions, and behavior - and make us accept that control, view it as normal, justifiable, and even desirable.

Yes, in the same way that I would consider a government employee who does not have carte blanche to be part of the government, even when not every decision they make is implemented. The government is the entire apparatus that governs a state, under the en_us definition.

If you changed the funding of RT to be controlled by the Duma, but left all other details intact, would you then say that RT is not government sponsored? To me, that seems like an odd distinction to make. It doesn't capture what most people find salient when talking about government sponsorship of the media. To wit: where is the money -- and therefore power -- coming from? Is it primarily controlled by the people or is it controlled by the rulers?

I tend to agree. It's why I find all of the recent "Diversity is our strength" stuff so puzzling.

I'm not against diversity, I just recognize that it generally results in at least some interpersonal challenges to overcome, not necessarily unity.
My mistake - I meant to reply to the discussion about people misunderstanding the expression "office hours" and attached it to the wrong subthread. This is not related to your point about "should" at all.
It reminds me that Israeli company (Faception) which claim to identify from your face if you are a terrorist.

It was shown that it was bullshit and that they basically built a smile detector (because ofc, in training set, photos of criminal in prison weren't really happy to be in prison)

I replied to a comment that said that all book-bans are would be evaluated to be harmful/negative in retrospect. I don't think that this general statement is true and brought up the ban of Mein Kampf as a counterexample.

Who knows how harmful Mein Kampf publishing in Germany could have been from 1950-2000, but surely, there was no harm in having it banned.

You must understand that in post-war Germany the threat of fascism still lingered, with successor-parties to Adolph Hitler's NSDAP even managing to get parliament seats in the first parliamentary elections, etc.

When I was working on a link parser in python for a crawler. I had two choices:

1. use some form of regex

2. use libxml and find links

1. was faster than 2. by a factor or two

Does a link-only parser would have been faster ? Yeah probably but it is much more complex to do

Sounds a lot like Tesla's marketing.

( do not summon your vehicle while distracted, maintain constant visual contact with the vehicle)

"Full self driving capability"

" vehicle has all equipment capable to self drive, but may be limited by laws or regulations in your area"

and so on. Tesla is full of nudge nudge wink wink, and disclaimers that walk back their ledes, so what exactly is problematic about Honda's statement about limitations?

I thought that rule was for interpreting comments to keep civil discussion. Identifying possible interpretations of what is in an article and the biases it may either imply, be sourced from, or create in others seems a worthwhile topic to discuss about an article, though care must be taken to distinguish from 'could imply' and 'does imply'.

One such use of this is when someone posts an article they have some control over, knowing how the title biases or primes a reader can be very informative if they need to make a change because of an unintended effect, given the chance of communities entirely disconnected from hacker news viewing and possibly discussing the article.
I started implementing it last night, and the cost for a simple weighted average model was basically free.
I wonder if cars will be able to be put into "overly cautious mode" implying any other following: inclement weather, children inside, inebriated passengers who may not be in any condition to respond to situations, "HOSPITAL NOW" voice function, "POLICE NOW" voice function. As well as other one-word voice commands "Car, Home" "Car, Work" etc..
Great reference. Thanks.
In my view, numbers are numbers, and symbols are symbols. There's an agreement that a symbol represents a number, but there's not a one-to-one relationship between available symbols and available numbers. Normally this isn't a problem, and we treat them interchangeably. And indeed the distinction may only be a philosophical oddity or a matter for mathematicians. But I believe nonetheless that there is a distinction.

Now I was merely an undergrad math major, which means I topped out before learning this stuff in a formal way. But at my primitive level of understanding, I think of a number as something that behaves like a number within a given system. What I learned in my courses was how different kinds of numbers behaved: Whole numbers, reals, complex, vectors and tensors, etc. I remember reading a definition of "tensor" that was to the effect of: A tensor is something that behaves like a tensor, meaning that the important thing is the behavior.

Another post in this page expressed that we should be particularly cautious when dealing with numbers, symbols, and IEEE floats, notably to beware that IEEE floats and real numbers don't always behave the same. That was treated in one of my math courses, "Numerical Analysis." You could also get CS credit for that course, suggesting its practical importance.
It's designed to promote science and the useful arts by giving artists control over their art. If I decide to create art, but I lose control over it once I decide I don't want to show it to anyone anymore, then that's not really control, is it?

My opinion is that copyright should be limited to the lifetime of the author, at which point it goes into public domain. In this particular case, that would mean the books would have been in the public domain for a long time now and there wouldn't be a controversy over this particular issue.

But the issue could still arise if the author were alive. Imagine Dr. Seuss were alive today and made this decision himself. It's the same controversy: person/entity with control over IP makes a decision on distribution of IP, people get upset. But that's the deal - you want to promote the useful arts by granting limited monopoly rights over art, then you better actually grant limited monopoly rights over art. That means the right to not publish the art.
I don't really buy this study. If humans can't get a better accuracy than 55%, I'm convinced this vector is leaking some obvious (maybe high-frequency) information that doesn't have anything to do with the face. E.g location of the person.
The Radioactive Death of Eben Byers
But again, splitting hairs into dopamine rush versus actual fun is simply semantics. Fun = dopamine rush. Does it matter if you are cognizant of the fun, or do the chemicals matter?

To be clear, I am 100% in agreement with you. Most mobile games (and honestly, most pc games at this point with their item and resource gathering mechanics; and I am absolutely talking about MMO's - there's a reason many many many franchises are working toward a multi-player experience instead of focusing on the single player game) aren't supposed to be 'fun'. They're supposed to be addictive, and I believe it is a real problem, especially for kids growing up learning that a dopamine hit is just one iphone game away.

Anyway, though, I guess my point is - it's all semantics. When you say, it's not 'fun', it's just a dopamine rush, developers and sales people can say that's just the same thing. They can argue that people wouldn't play unless they received some kind of value out of it.

To be honest, I've forgotten where I started with all this, other than to say - when you have to split hairs on the definition, it leaves room for people to interpret their own meaning and ignore nuance. Therefore, this is an argument that people don't want to hear, engage with, or consider, I believe.
Perhaps it will be clear if I move all of the code together and add comments:

// this is the getter
function _admin() internal view returns (address adm) {
bytes32 slot = ADMIN_SLOT;

adm := sload(slot)

It's funny to me, reading "as low as 10gb". I used 45MB of data last month, and 9 of that was the Android OS. (And, yes, 4.33GB on wifi, of which 186MB was the OS). I know other people use their phones way more than I do, it's just a different world to me, where data limits are a thing to think about.

Both the far left and far right have no sense of humor because both have lost all sense of reasonableness.

On the right you have Trump cultists who loyally cling to every word he utters, regardless of it is true or not, spreading lies and misinformation on social media about voter fraud, vaccines, etc. You also have covid denial on the right where "the constitution" is used as a bludgeon to resist any reasonable public health policy like mask usage.

On the left you have the wokeness mobs that go around trying to cancel/censor/destroy every historical figure/book/statue who didn't live a perfect life and destroying careers of anyone who says the wrong word or makes a bad analogy. You also have covid zealotry on the left where "covid deaths prevented" is prioritized above all else and we can't re-open schools, re-open businesses, visit grandparents, or otherwise get back to normal life (even after mass vaccination) until 100% of all remaining unknowns are known (even if it takes another 2 years of masking, zooming, and hermiting).

These are all very recent examples.
> You can support the right to be a Nazi while strongly criticising it.

You have the luxury of never having seen your country and culture being taken over by Nazis. Never living with the regret of being tolerant of Nazis. I have. It sucks.

It's so easy to talk in platitudes like this when you know your own life won't be affected in any way. How about supporting the right of QAnon adherents to spread their poisonous propaganda? What about when you see it's support growing rapidly? Would you still support it if it looked like you might be living in a society where the majority are QAnoners?

I know the answer to that question. And so do you.
I think its because of the javascript problem: every second user of a product gets invested enough in the problem space they can't resist making just one tiny modifications.

No, I got that part. My argument is that if those gains were redistributed to workers, income gains would be modest at best. 55k to 65k for a single year if we got rid of all billionaires. If we assume we instead distribute the growth of the wealth as income, it's more like 500-1000 dollars a year more in income.

If we take everything from everyone worth 2 million or more, and distribute it at 10% a year, that's still only 10k a year extra.
> If you believe in liberty as a principle don't you have to support ebay's decision to decide whether or not they want to sell a particular book?

Not exactly, no. Even the most laissez faire among us would probably agree that you need to set and enforce some ground rules to prevent monopolies, externalities, information assymetries, and other market failures. Also ebay isn't a bookseller choosing what books to stock; it's just an exchange for buyers and sellers to directly transact with each other.
Just off the top of my head, didn't Binance do exactly that in like the last 10 days or something (with ETH, iirc)?

There's relatively recent work on collaborative editing and CRDTs, but as it says in the Wikipedia entry:

To me the question is how to drive convergence? How to alleviate https://xkcd.com/927/ ? (The "Standards" comic.) Who shall forge the "one true ring to bind them"?

- - - -

Also, I think Data Model catalogs (like "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map" by David C. Hay) should be part of the answer. Instead of rolling your own data models you should be able to just pull models from a standard catalog.

- - - -

In sum, if we're lucky, we'll start to get convergence in the protocol and model space. Anything that isn't working towards convergence is just adding another log to the burning pile of standards, eh?
It's hard to imagine any web scraping being described as "flawless". But there's a whole lot of room for "worked fine for my purposes."

I think that it's actually a pretty great example of a case where capturing data from HTML may not be best modeled as a parsing task. You might not need a whole parse tree just to match some pattern and grab an associated string. And skipping the parse may enable you to get useful data out of a file that technically can't be parsed due to syntactic errors. It's a fairly classic precision/recall tradeoff situation.
