Because they shouldn't be able to abuse the power asymmetry in the employer / employee relationship to advocate for their position, while denying the union an equal opportunity.

Alternatively, they don't have to pay for it. They can choose to just not have the "information" sessions.
This was a very busy period in the history of computer networking, and many things happened at the same time, which can make it hard to make any statements about "x is based on y." The OSI model is most definitely not based on TCP/IP or vice versa. While TCP/IP was generally an earlier effort there were revisions being made to TCP/IP at the same time that the OSI model was being designed, and TCP/IP did not become the clear leader in computer networking until after the completion of the OSI work (arguably not until as late as the mid-'90s depending on how you feel about the issue of "WANs" vs "LANs" which often took different paths in the '80s). For most purposes they were parallel efforts, and the designers of the two were each aware of the other but mostly working off of different prior art.

This further makes the point that many of the differences between TCP/IP and the OSI model were very intentional choices, as the OSI designers were well aware of IP and viewed it as unsuitable while the adopters of IP were judging the OSI model to be impractical.
Is the wink-wink idea being a nonaligned country, or any country for that matter, can now side-step IP and supply chains to reproduce them without actual samples?
Now, here's a web page that NetSurf has no trouble with!
To be fair, they’ve been “having their time” for months, potentially years.

Here’s the million dollar question:

do we believe that a union is going to make it easier for a delivery driver in Idaho to find a bathroom?
Does anyone know if this is available as an API?
It's so odd that one of the key aspects of socialism is workers owning the means to production (the company).

...and one of the main things Unions prevent - is employee ownership in the company. Crazy.
This weekend I came across an interesting comment on the Netgate WireGuard fiasco from a former FreeBSD Core team member David Chisnall. He does consider it a failure of FreeBSD's process.

"Are they threatening to fire the employees if they form a union?"

Not in an overt way that you could take to the NLRB...they aren't dumb. But the message is often clear enough. For example:

"At a mandatory meeting Thursday for workers, where the warehouse’s leadership pressed its case to vote against the union, the 51-year-old rebutted the company’s suggestions that the RWDSU’s goal was to raise money to pay for union leaders’ cars and meals. One Amazon manager took a picture of his employee badge, a tactic Richardson believed was intended to intimidate him."

There is no need to decide you start watching the money starts streaming you stop the money stops. If you only watched a few seconds its only fractions of a cent it doesn't matter.
If at all it makes people less likely to watch crap and more likely to stop if it isn't what they hoped it to be.

What are you using to display the S-52 and S-63 charts on the web?
I worked on a VTS product (a small vendor, not any of the big ones), and there I learned that:

1) The sea charts are hugely expensive, the chart sellers want to sell you a subscription for a limited amount of time, that would just disappear when the time is over. "safety" is their justification for it
2) There are no open source libraries for drawing charts, the desktop chart drawing libraries are expensive, and it seems that the web products that output WMS are even more expensive.
> Been doing this for 10 years and have never come across a data problem that only recursion could solve

That makes sense - there are no such problems (which is obvious if you consider the fact that Turing machines don't have recursion - nor functions, for that matter).

> I asked the interviewer to give me one scenario where a recursive solution would be the most efficient one

That also makes sense, as recursion usually isn't a technique that will bring an efficiency edge over non-recursive technique. It might often bring maintainability and understandability edge, though.

Solving the problem using recursion highlights the fact that it has, well, a recursive solution - which means that the solution can be expressed as a set of operations on top of solution to a smaller instance of the original problem. This can be an important property to notice about a problem, whether or not you're going to solve it with the function that calls itself.

Additionally, some problems have a solution that can be nicely expressed as a set of mutually recursive functions (instead of just a single recursive function). These are harder to express non-recursively. Many parsers are written like this, for example the C# parser: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13915150

Actual VPN over SSH? The TUN device:

-w local_tun[:remote_tun]

Requests tunnel device forwarding with the specified tun(4) devices between the client (local_tun) and the server (remote_tun).

The devices may be specified by numerical ID or the keyword “any”, which uses the next available tunnel device. If remote_tun is not specified, it defaults to “any”. See also the Tunnel and TunnelDevice directives in ssh_config(5).

If the Tunnel directive is unset, it will be set to the default tunnel mode, which is “point-to-point”. If a different Tunnel forwarding mode it desired, then it should be specified before -w
Most of the ones I've met acted pretty much like Dawkins and got all worked up by their beliefs, mocked churchgoers and called them names. Maybe it preocupies them a great deal but I did not care to hear any of it, nor asked about it, it was them who sought to share their opinion on the matter.

I also live in a country where the separation between state and church is also not clear enough. The church is quite openly corrupt and gets laughed at by my generation and is becoming less relevant every year.
That doesn't really say much, since non-union labor is usually better compensated, in general.
The union does. The right to bargain collectively is protected by law, as is unfettered communication with your labor representatives.

But no, Amazon isn't required to pay you for the time you spend talking to your union rep, no.
How long has Amazon "had their time?"

There seems to be gigantic non-sequitur here where good performance of convolutional neural networks for image recognition is seen as evidence that visual sensors suffice for full driving autonomy and that LIDAR-based approaches are heading in the wrong direction.

There doesn't seem any evidence for the proposition that "if only we can train the model with more data it'll suddenly be good enough". There's an extremely long tail of scenarios, operating in different weather conditions, in different environments, at different times of day, and the driving problem is adaptive - the network needs to predict how others will respond to its own behavior.

The authors dismiss the idea that sensor fusion may provide more additive capability than train-with-m0ar-data but don't actually seem to provide any basis for that.
It's laughable given the current state of computer vision. CV has made enormous progress over the past decade, but it's still brittle and probably shouldn't be relied on in a life-or-death situation

This seems incomplete. Which human? The average software developer? That doesn't say much. Few developers have the necessary expertise. Expert assembly programmers are often able to outperform compilers.

I've been noticing this too. Everyone wants to hire an ambitious go-getter who aspires to become Top Hotdog Ultra Tech Lead or CEO someday. I just want to make the websites go until I retire. I'm not looking to become a millionaire or retire early. I look over at my friends who became Mechanical Engineers. They have better lives. They have time for their families. They generally work 9-5 like Mad Men. I wonder what went wrong in our industry where that isn't possible.

I think the solution is to give in and become the monster. Become hyper-ambitious like everyone else and try to become CTO of a midsize startup by the time you're 40 or whatever. Or "drop out" and retrain as a mechanical engineer.
I live in a small house in a big city and 5ghz is the only usable spectrum. The connection is solid through walls and there is a minimum of interference from neighbors -- I can only see my immediate neighbor's wifi, whereas 2.4ghz I get broadcasts from the entire block and can't even stream Netflix

In fact the lack of range works so well that I can use almost the entire spectrum for various networks and not feel guilty
My house is over 100 years old with fairly thick walls, knob and tube wiring, and a lot of neighboring 2.4Ghz access points. I ended up going under the house and running cat6, which was no small feat considering how tight the crawlspace is.

Of course, the cat6 cable I used subsequently got recalled, and so the manufacturer had to pay for a contractor to rerun it. They said that it was the type of job they wouldn't have even quoted for any price originally because it was so gnarly.

I have 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz from two APs on either end of the house. I turned off support for pre-n speeds on the 2.4Ghz to hopefully save some bandwidth on the beacon frames. I have Ethernet over Power to my garage, where I have a third AP for our inlaw unit.

The Ethernet over Power seems to be pretty good, but I had to find the right brand of equipment for it to not be flaky. WiFi still sucks, but my desktop and TV are hardwired, and it's good enough for mobile devices. I can go for about a week without losing my work VPN connection, through wifi through Ethernet over Power to PDSL.
Catholicism is so mired in needless hierarchy and ceremony that it severely inhibits any genuine value it might provide.

It hit home as a teenager during Easter Sunday mass. A priest enters the church, wearing his extra religious garb, a crucifix is carried behind him. The procession take several steps, the worshippers then kneel down and immediately stand back up. Several more steps, then kneeling and standing. Then several more steps, then kneeling and standing.

The third time I stood up I felt like it was outside my body looking at myself. Following the crowd with absolutely no idea why or the meaning behind it. To me, I looked like an idiot. My father was religious his entire life, so afterwards I asked him what the ceremony represented, he had no idea. I went to church less and less after that.
> That would require a fairly radical departure from the infrastructure of the existing cellular networks, wouldn't it?

I think it can be done at the legal layer - just require roaming agreements between providers. They can already roam across borders so there's no technical barrier.

Psychedelics are still grinding their way through the testing and licensing processes. One of the reasons ketamine had so much buzz was because it was initially going to be used for this group of patients.

In England (where the author works) ECT really is used for people who are very severely ill. They will have been through several different types of medications first. When psychedelics get approval those will go into the roster of things to try before ECT.

It's possible for someone to write an advance directive that says they want ECT to be used, so I guess there's some people for whom it's not used as a last resort.
Another dumb post by someone who believes Tesla operates in a vacuum... Tesla is a very small player in terms of cars produced. Volkswagen has started outselling Tesla in some European countries. And dont forget about GM and Toyota. No lead is unaissalable in a highly competitive market like car manufacturing. And its not like there's no competition from the tech side either. Microsoft, Apple and Google are all working on making self driving cars. Any combination of said tech companies with a large car manufacturer would be a serious threat.
> But humans drive... only using vision.

No they don't. Driving uses multiple senses. Sound is the most obvious one, but other less-well-known senses almost certainly play a role as well.
The other end of the spectrum of humanity are those who think it's actually healthy to sanitize everything to the point that it's obsessive and don't acknowledge that somehow our ancestors survived down through millions of years of evolution.

At the same time, politicians like Elizabeth Warren are not exactly doing the right thing either. She recently tweeted:

"I didn’t write the loopholes you exploit,
@amazon – your armies of lawyers and lobbyists did. But you bet I’ll fight to make you pay your fair share. And fight your union-busting. And fight to break up Big Tech so you’re not powerful enough to heckle senators with snotty tweets."

As much as monopolies bother me in the market ... I'm much more bothered by the monopoly of power represented by government. For a sitting senator to act like she can use the power of the government because someone was "snotty" to her is ridiculous.

The only control on senatorial power is elections ... and elections are driven by emotions and not long term views about what is good for the country. I'm afraid Warren and Sanders populism is now unopposed in the Democratic party ... just as Trumpist populism ruins the GOP.

I'm bearish on America now.
The union has access to the employees out of work hours.

Why should the union get compensated time to express their position. If the Union wants to comp Amazon access to their employees and lost productivity then sure maybe, but I don't see that being proposed. It's always Amazon who must "give" something.
Again, it is a nice thought, but ultimately I don't think the rule "women should do the first step" is really what society should aim for. I'm not even sure women would want it that way.

Nevertheless, the feelings of men, even unattractive men, should also count. Since you seem to be attractive, I suspect you have zero empathy for the unattractive people out there.

And the same people who want to take down RMS for sexism are the ones who would call you homophobic for not being attracted to men and so on.

Also I don't want to defend RMS behaviour in general. He may be a creep, I don't know. Just the "he hit on a much younger girl" story seems insufficient.

I believe they would put in a grievance process that makes it painful for Amazon to set unrealistic quotas, etc, yes. Separate from whether there's a bathroom in a rural area, if that's what you mean.

My impression is that we're getting really close to being able to launch substantial payloads to Mars relatively cheaply, but now that it's time to start packing we don't know what to send.

We should industrially colonize the Moon. If we can produce oxygen, aluminum, titanium, iron, and glass on the Moon, it will make a bunch of other space infrastructure a lot cheaper. Solar Power satellites would become feasible, and then we wouldn't need fusion outside of having The Expanse-level of space military tech and other ultra high-spec space vehicle needs. And if we did have fusion, He3 would practically be a side effect of mining the other materials.

Also, no natives with cultures and lives to ruin.

What Makes an Idea Worth Spreading? Language Markers of Popularity in TED Talks
I could not get through the entire article with straight face. It's riddled with fallacies and misconceptions on the problems currently facing self driving. It was especially this horrible take that put the credibility of this article into question:

> "A simple analogy can illustrate the conceptual difference between Computer Vision and LiDAR. Imagine two students, where one is just cramming and memorizing the content (LiDAR), while the other one is trying to really understand the material and truly learn it (Tesla FSD). The student that learned the material (Tesla FSD) will be able to answer the exam questions correctly, even if the questions on the exam are swapped, the questions are rephrased, or new components are added to the questions, while the student that memorized the content (LiDAR) will likely fail the exam."

Tesla's advantage isn't even it's computer vision systems - computer vision models don't exactly scale like language transformers (where larger, sparser parameters make better models). There hasn't been any significant advancements in vision models since Faster-RCNNs or YOLO, which is close to five years old now. Especially if you want to compare Tesla's SotA against Waymo, which has an army of Captcha labelers and a large plethora of example images.

The goldmine is in identifying and navigating around rare edge cases - data that can only be obtained with hundreds of thousands of hours of real world driving. It has very little to do with the correct set of camera and calibration configurations. The novel research is deep into safety verification strategies. Like how do can we predict human or object behavior by using miliseconds of prior movement of an object? Or how to use human arm movements and eye pupils to determine if a pedestrian or other driver is distracted? Can we avoid an accident if we have a better behavioral understanding of the scene?
Amazon has the same access outside of work hours. They can host events and invite employees just as easily as the union can. The union has zero access during work hours.

Amazon must "give" something because Amazon "has" 99% of the cards.
Is that outside your control? Or can you hand the "mic" to him
I'm a fan of both approaches, but Waymo is very heavily reliant on Lidar (and uses CV for augmenting). They have been working on this problem for 12 years now and have just launched in Phoenix, using high definition maps, lidar, and a suite of other sensors. They have <1000 vehicles. Zero fatalities attributed to Waymo.

Tesla has been working on this problem for somewhere close to half the time and with far fewer resources initially. Tesla has a million cars on the road across the entire world and only use basic sensors and CV. Six fatalities have been attributed to Tesla (and the driver).

So there really isn't a lot of data to go on for who is "winning" but Tesla has much more driver data. The fatalities are so low compared to the miles driven that it's difficult to really know if Waymo could achieve a better result.
Machine learning helps spot gait problems in individuals with multiple sclerosis
> Yet another thing I discovered is that for engineers one of the most important words they use in discussions is "no"...

This paragraph is a great insight - knowing how someone else is going to receive your (as you perceive it) constructive criticism cuts down miles to the destination of achieving the common goal. Speaking so your listeners will be able to "hear" you without perceiving an attack is critical in cross-discipline groups.
It should also be noted that placing prices on things changes peoples decision processes dramatically. There's the famous experiment where a school tried to combat parents picking up children late (which caused teachers to stay late) by charging them a small fee. That caused the number of late parents to increase because it shifted the issue from guilt to capital. Zach Star used this example in a recent video along with others[0]. These types of decisions are extremely complicated because we're changing the entire incentive structure in a non-obvious way. This often creates "contradictory" results because we have bad priors in our model. What is "obvious" usually isn't (which is often why problems haven't been solved).
