Except that wasn’t my argument. I was merely answering the question about why this factoid (Black people buying more guns) isn’t considered vindication of conservatives. There are tons of ways to support reform of police (or otherwise vindication of the fact that government/police overreach is a problem) that don’t involve “defunding” the police, and yet conservatives chose to circle the wagons and defend the government overreach instead. That denies them the moral high ground necessary to claim that vindication. And huge respect, by the way, for conservatives like Romney that stood on principle instead of fighting the culture war.
FSD also mentioned/implied that driver assistance could be required, but did mention/omply that it should be good enough for someone to take a trip without intervention. Practically speaking it's just a larger feature set than EAP/AP.

Edit - Here's a link to the old FSD fine print. They say the system is designed to take trips with no input from the driver, but they don't guarantee that, which to implies FSD is just meant to be good level 2 driver assistance.

https://web.archive.org/web/20180806143159/https://www.tesla...

To be fair, Tesla could consider stuff like TACC to be level 3+ (no beta status, no disclaimer about always paying attention, etc), but it's definitely not level 4 because they require driver input and nag then disable without it.

The robotaxi/Tesla network idea was separate from EAP/AP and FSD and was only mentioned on the Tesla website for a short period of time with even more fine print/legalese (it was pie in the sky, which I imagine is why they took it down).
Has the generator been updated? For me (UK) it's localised to dd/mm/yyyy, as I would expect in my region.

I like that the spec uses a universal and unambiguous format. I especially like that this generator is localised to my region though.
The minimum-increment approach for a frequency sketch is supposed to help improve the sketch's accuracy. Instead of incrementing all of the hashed counters (e.g. 4), it first reads to find the minimum, and then only increments those. When analyzing for the purposes of TinyLFU this wasn't beneficial because it only cares about heavy hitters to judge relative worth so hit rate was unchanged.

The two halves can be any algorithm, but LRU and SLRU were chosen in Caffeine. SLRU uses a probation and protected region (20/80 split) so that on a subsequent hit, the item is moved into the protected region. This more aggressively removes an item that was not used, e.g. inaccurately promoted by TinyLFU due to hash collisions. It is a cheap way to get a good recency/frequency eviction ordering.

The frequency threshold is a direct comparison of the two victims (admission window's and the main region's). If the candidate has a higher estimated frequency than the main's victim then it is admitted, otherwise it is discarded.

The admission window accepts all new items and is placed in front of TinyLFU. TinyLFU implements the doorkeeper, popularity sketch, and reset interval. When reset, the doorkeeper is cleared and the counters are halved.

The optimal admission/main sizes depends on the workload. A LRU-biased workload prefers a large admission window (e.g. blockchain mining), while an MRU/LFU-biased one prefers a smaller window (e.g. loop/scans). The policy is adaptive by using hill climbing to [1] walk the hit rate curve towards the best configuration. The design evolution is described in [2-4].

There is no fast track promotion to the main region. A popular item will end up being promoted. The SLRU ordering and reset interval will age it out if unused. The adaptive sizing will grow or shrink the frequency region based on how effective it is.

Cache admission has not been well studied. While TinyLFU is an admission policy, W-TinyLFU turns it into a promotion strategy by always admitting into the window cache. Prior to TinyLFU, bloom filters were used by CDNs to avoid one-hit wonders from polluting the cache [5]. Afterwards, AdaptSize [6] used entry sizes instead of frequency as an admission criteria. RL-Cache [7] tries to defer to ML to sort it out from a dozen signals. There is a paper under review that optimizes W-TinyLFU for entry size aware eviction.

There's a difference between making a definite claim and pointing out that Newton's model allows the existence of such an object. I'm not going into "quid est veritas?" type of discussions because it's a bottomless pit that leads nowhere, but it seems to me like "black holes could exist" is a statement much like "an artificial general intelligence could exist". It's not ruled out by the model, but a-priori we have no idea.
Bitcoin is scarce asset and it's more like digital gold and a store of value, rather than a currency. People hold gold to maintain value and don't go to retailers to pay for things in gold. It's the same idea with Bitcoin. However people can Bitcoin across the world pretty instantly which you can't do with physical gold. There are better cryptocurrencies for cheaper and faster payments that are more inline with traditional currencies. For example, VISA is launching credit card that will allow you to spend USDC cryptocurrency which is a non-volatile stable coin.

HN is slightly anti-jewish.

It is just a matter of fact.

A good thing however is it seems to changing slowly towards a more nuanced perspective.

Here's a true story which kind of describes a very similar situation but with a different outcome than what we've seen (yet).

For years I was bullied at school, and anytime I took revenge teachers arrived swiftly, telling me that even if the others started I wasn't allowed to respond. I still did though but it was obvious that I got more trouble for it than them.

Then I came to a new school. Pattern continues. I complained, nobody did anything.

Then one day I gave another bloke a real beating, and for a change my teacher stepped up and told the other teachers that if they couldn't ensure skinkestek was left alone they better not interfere when I gave the bullies a beating.

That was the last fight. Once they realized they wouldn't get any sympathy anymore it stopped. My siblings also stopped being harassed.

Generally everything got quieter because I was top dog now - and I didn't want to fight.

I feel this is the same in middle east. Israel is strongest but want peace. The international community keeps this conflict going like my teachers used to do by verbally abusing the strong but peaceful one.

My guess is the moment Hamas realizes there is no more sympathy to be gained by doing insane attacks that only serve to anger the neighbor then we'll get peace.
> Pretending that people are being jailed because of the color of their skin is ridiculous, especially considering that in many cities the jury, lawyers, judge, clerks, etc. are also of the same skin color.

Emphatically this. This is also why I choose to work in automation. My work-life balance is a direct result of the investment I've made into doing my work well. I've engineered the company's systems and processes in a way that results in less work for people as a whole. That lets us all work more efficiently.

For the handful of weeks I've worked every night until 2am, there's 20x as many where I've done a couple of hours work in the morning and then been a paid SME the rest of the day. And seemingly unlike most engineers, I think getting paid to talk to people is FANTASTIC.

> No one is going to risk being sued over something a user says.

No small company would, but some multi-billion dollar companies might. They sure would censor the hell out of any user content, though, or else they'd run the risk of being raided in the middle of the night by the FBI if a user found it funny to upload something illegal to their servers.

Which brings us to the OP's argument, that repealing Section 230 wouldn't do what the repeal proponents want. The end result of repealing Section 230 of the CDA is that total online censorship becomes the norm, and only giant companies would be able to benefit from the limited user-generated content that's allowed to exist after the repeal.

> a centralized AI will be needed to coordinate all of the autonomous weapon systems

Why?

At a tactical level, an AI to coordinate a battlefield makes sense. (Speed of light means local computing has an advantage, particularly with directed energy weapons.) And an AI to advise on strategy, and coördinate those battlefield AIs, makes sense.

But while battles are mechanical, war is political. At the point that the human becomes replaceable we’d have an AI substitute for government, which is a long way away.

For grand strategic concerns, we have nukes, and those still fly slowly and detectably enough that an AI commanding counterstrike is unnecessary. (Unless submarine platforms become detectable and thus destroyable in a first strike.)
Let me try to clarify myself. I am not saying that by definition a salaried imployee has any benefits compared to a good contractor. People are different and in my own experience I had amazing contractors, like e.g. our current DevOps which is just amazing despite working only 30+ hours poer month with us. But he is an exception.

I am just saying that at the end of the day from my experience it is much easier to find more caring and willing to think deep abour the project from among full time employees compared to outside contractors some of which may not need to remember your name since its "just a 160 hours project".
A lot of what holds people back from embracing this concept is a belief in "personal responsibility" AKA free will.

Even George Orwell's quote hints at this problem:

"...we must all cooperate and see to it that everyone does his fair share..."

Everyone's "fair share" is whatever they actually do. Everyone is always doing their best, given their genetics and environment. No one chooses to be "dumb" or "lazy" because no healthy person would choose that, given an actual choice. The person that does lots of hard work is able to do so only because they're able to, and not by choice either.

If we could get everyone to embrace this worldview it would resolve almost all of the progressive/conservative divide, and make it much easier for people to work together towards common goals.

But most humans are addicted to the belief that they're in control of their lives, and if they're in control, everyone else has to be as well. And so we can't have nice things.
Yeah, and I was (sincerely) curious why they’d be disappointed if that happened.

I'm pretty sure I did the bootcamp you're thinking of because it was around the same cost.

I'd say it's 100% worth it. I'm also in my late 30's. 4 years ago I failed to pass the phone screen with F and G (and failed 7 out of 8 onsites with other companies) but this time around I passed the hiring committee at G. I ended up declining for a pre-IPO startup though.

I had the same issues as you last time around. I struggled with System Design because I had no clue what the end goal was. It's silly that you're being asked to "design" systems in 45 minutes that have taken teams months or years to build.

The bootcamp really helped me with my anxiety. I ended up doing about 10 mock interviews which really helped calm my nerves during real interviews because I knew what to expect. I think that's where social anxiety comes from - when you don't really know what to expect.

I also used a Space Repetition Software program to help me with memorization.

If you post your email, I can email you if you want to learn more about my experiences with it and answer any specific questions you have.
In my experience, as others pointed out, its a one way street. If we work 6 hours a day instead of 8, we will get fired. But if they make us work 15 hours a day, nothing happens to them.

I don't think people having their basic needs met is in any way equivalent to winning the lottery. When you win the lottery you can have anything financially that you like for the rest of your life or until you blow all your money. With UBI you can have a minimalistic life devoid of most luxury or ease.

The kind of person who doesn't bother to contribute is probably the kind of person who would be contributing by making fries or checking you out at walmart. These contributions can be replaced by automation and nothing of value will be lost meanwhile some portion of the people will use their time that would have been thrown away at walmart to actually contribute.

If 90% of the team at walmart was replaced by robots and 10% found more meaningful ways to contribute it would be a net gain.

> You're looking at a tiny subset of people that wouldn't stop working (but maybe work on different things) if they won the lottery, and extrapolate from them on to the general population. Not everybody is like that. Any solutions that pretend that they are will fail.

If you offered most people a poverty wage of 2k monthly and netflix and the opportunity to earn 2k + whatever they could earn in addition doing something with their life 90% would chose the latter given the option especially if free education were available to get from A to B. Most people want to feel their life is meaningful. If you don't understand that then you don't understand people in the slightest.

But more to the original question's point: Webflow provides a CMS interface and has an API for accessing the CMS, so you could use it as a "headless CMS" where you need to and use the provided UI for managing the CMS content without building your own.
We all want to resume our normal lives, but introducing lockdowns as mentioned here in a european country would just not be acceptable.

If the alternative is the imperfect half-lockdown then so be it. What matters now is a sharp focus on when normal life can resume.

In my view that point is when the elderly and people with comorbidities have been vaccinated, which is within reach now.

True, but this analogy works just fine here. There's no contradiction if you consider the argument of preserving the status quo as total non-sense. Of course you should use a spaceship and its resources to improve the situation of the inhabitants, and to the greatest degree possible.

I would argue that we should include all conscious creatures as the inhabitants, not just humans, even if we do decide to prioritize our own species.
Yep, keep in mind she described half of the people who voted for Trump like that (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basket_of_deplorables) so the word basically means “Republican”. Using it is only useful as a Shibboleth to indicate you’re aligned with American leftist views.
A system where borrowers post $250k collateral to borrow $100k, in theory, sounds more sustainable than traditional lending models where a handful of large borrowers defaulting can start a domino effect until a central bank steps in and punishes taxpayers to bail out lenders that took on too much risk.

It's interesting to watch the progression of DeFi projects as they're being developed. Being an early adopter in experimental financial technologies has its own set of risks, but at least these risks don't affect non-participants.

Effort. You can create a field called the “philosophy of this rock sitting on my lawn.” And this field would fit your definition of philosophy. But there is a clear hierarchy here that is not being obeyed.

Religion from certain perspectives is just made up stories. Should these made up stories be made into a field of study that is a sibling branch of science? Call it the study of religion or made up stories, no point in calling it a philosophy and giving it the same weight as science.
Twitter has increasingly slid into user-hostile territory. I moderate /r/Twitter on reddit and we have a pinned thread just showing nothing but complaint after complaint, because content moderation is a failure when you attempt to scale it.

I'm (very) familiar with salmon aquaculture, but know very little about other species.

As far as salmon go, there has been a huge push to reduce wild catch content in feed, replacing it things like soya. I don't have the numbers off the top of my head, but I recall being impressed - if you're interested, you can search for the latest MOWI annual report (think they call it a "sustainability report"), and Norwegian ministries publish a wealth of information.
