I listen to a ton of podcasts for free, and I've been waiting for them to start switching over Stitcher, or something other than hoping I'll throw money at them on Patreon (which I do) or purchase the occasional mattress/meditation app/socks.

99PI is a fantastic podcast: fascinating, gorgeously produced, and never fails to intrigue. I wouldn't necessarily mind paying for it through Stitcher, though I hope that the app is as good as the one I already use (Pocket Casts).

It's also astounding that this is the standard method when Apple/Google/Facebook/AT&T/Verizon could trivially give an instantaneous and probably more accurate count.
Motion for New Trial in a jury trial based on Cellebrite vulnerability
Part of my point, that I did not make clear, is that this law came into effect January 1st. A 3 month turn-around between something becoming illegal, and a "settlement" being reached, feels awfully fast to me, and implies that everyone involved was actually trying to follow this new law.
Pentagon explains odd transfer of 175M IP addresses to obscure company
Obviously meat-based drivers have flaws. The question is if the FSD robots at least retain all the existing capabilities of meat-based drivers. Trading one set of deficiencies for another raises the question of which set is preferable.

The reality is that for a long time we will combine both sets of capabilities and use "self driving" tech to enhance human driver capabilities.

In that case self-driving first needs to be able to avoid the relatively simple case of not of smashing through a barrier and the human driver can use their wetware to figure out how to handle railroad crossings which are diverse and complicated.
This is where you're wrong because I'm obviously a far better driver than that person who drove in front of a train this morning and it would never happen to me. I trust myself more than I trust other drivers. I trust myself more than I trust Waymo. I'd be happy to have Waymo prove me wrong.

I'm with you. I believe that we need the following reform:

* Information Reform: Schools should be required to report median income of graduating class by major by year (with number of declined-to-disclose). Students should know what they're going to get out of this program.

* Incentive Alignment: School programs above a certain cost should only be payable either up-front or via income share agreement. Schools should only be paid if their education yielded economic gain for students but students should be permitted escape valves if possible.

* Bankruptcy Reform: Student loans should be discharged in bankruptcy, ISAs should not.

Then you drink a cup of glyphosate. Even folks on payroll spewing that nonsense would never entertain the thought of actually going through with it.
Spare a thought for the census bureau folks, who in an incredibly stressful year and in an incredibly polarized political climate, had to nonetheless get the job done and try to release the data on time and keep their cool and remain objective, all the while knowing that their best case scenario is nobody really thinks about how they did it. Not an easy job.
Even if it is what most users would expect (I don't agree it is), that is a product decision that should be entirely under Roku's control. Google's threat to pull YouTube from their device is an anti-competitive move.

If customers do want either behavior, they should be advocating to Roku for it. Google has no place setting a requirement here.
There actually are people who actually are underrepresented in things. They aren't lying awake in excruciating agony, they're just being unfairly treated as inferiors. Even mocking this as if it's about "being EXTREMELY OFFENDED" is in poor (clueless) taste. People don't deserve equal treatment because they are offended, people deserve equal treatment because of a fundamental presumption that people are created equal.

In the context, "Apple added emojis that benefit other people and not me, so now I'm ranting on the internet about it" is meta-poor-taste, the idea that someone else doing something that benefits someone who isn't you is bad.
Good. If municipalities want to raise revenue from my driving, then they should either raise taxes or implement tolls, not implement speed traps designed to trick people from out of town.
Perfect world, it probably has a jagged split north to south drawing through Great Falls down to Billings/Hardin.

Or whenever you open an application. If I want to check my email, then I want to check my email. I have something in mind, and I am trying to figure out what somebody said to me. That is exactly the wrong time to pop up and ask if I want to learn about a new feature that was just added, because of course I don't. That's something for downtime, not when I'm actively working toward a goal.
I'm not really focused on this incident, but the idea that it can be a serious issue for major platforms to control speech.
I've found the opposite by working in a sales position.

I'm introverted, so it sometimes felt like torture getting through some days. I felt dizzy and drained after 10+ hours of talking, pitching and trying to close sometimes hundreds of strangers over one day.

People do buy based on emotion, you'll see the progression from feature to benefit to emotional benefit in most structured sales cycles. The best sales people make customers feel great and tie it to the product. You need to learn about what they're looking for and why, it's rarely 'one size fits all.'

You learn tricks and learn to have fun. I realized mental fortitude and positive socialization is really hard work, not just disposition as I wrote it off before. You can set goals for yourself and learn from having an actual point of success. And you don't eat without achievement, in my case at least. Just pick a product that you actually believe in and makes lives and the world better (and has a good commission model).

None of that is Roku's problem. It's googles problem. Google is trying to make it rokus problem.
Sounds like student loans simply don't work then. Why would you choose a free market mechanism only to then decide that you don't like it and corrupt it entirely for the sake of charity/welfare?

If you want the government to play such a role in funding education why not let it simply do so? It's not like you are wasting the money by creating a productive workforce.

Hey everyone,

Pretty excited to reach settlement on this one. The DFPI is a new regulatory agency in California that was tasked with reviewing Lambda School’s new incentive-aligned tuition (https://lambdaschool.com/tuition/tuition-options) in California. They came back requesting that we update a bankruptcy provision in the agreement to clarify that these agreements are dischargeable in bankruptcy, and to do a review of our marketing to make that clear. All things we’re happy to do, and always happy to work with regulators!
Channel surfing is nice in that it reduces the number of choices to a small set. Instead of having to pick from an entire streaming catalog, you pick from 10-300 channels which can easily get filtered to a smaller set of choices (2-7) which is easy to pick from without any brain effort.

>I suppose they could program the train schedule in, but what if the train system changes the schedule?

I laughed at this, thinking about how the German trains are usually ±30 mins and often off by hours.

The train schedule would probably not fare better than a coin flip, except in Switzerland or Japan.
Probably in much the same way that the seats in the other states will be re-drawn to make them as Blue as possible, so it will not even out, but at least Texas will remain Texas.

That said, given what the Democrats are doing, seats may be entirely inconsequential going forward. This may all be a huge waste of time.
> I've never seen an instance where kids exposed to dumbed-down "reduced complexity" material outperform those that weren't

Isn't literally every subject taught exactly this way? Books for toddlers don't have chapters for a reason. Practicing basics as early as possible, means that you don't have to think about little things when you move on to more complex subjects. You spent a long time practicing addition before anybody even told you about the concept of multiplication.
Startup Ideas from 10k Risk Sections

The problem is that in this case, is that the act of collecting that piece of paper can cause other pieces of paper to appear or disappear not only in this file, but in every file in the building and you won't know if it happened or not.

At that point, you cannot trust any of the files in the building.

It's not a matter of operator error. This exploit works during normal operation of the software in question, it depends on the software being operated in a typical fashion.

It's not a choice of the person running the software. The only choice is to stop running the software.

It also calls into question all evidence ever collected by this program because we can't know if some other company already figured this out or not.

Positive feedback loops.

For example, warming the climate tends to melt ice. Ice reflects sunlight back to space better than liquid water or dirt. So the reduced ice cover makes more sunlight get absorbed by the Earth. Absorbed sunlight becomes heat, which raises the temperature. The increased temperature melts more ice.

Technically all of these loops can only result in a sigmoid curve, not an exponential. The temperature won't become arbitrarily large. Trivially it can't get any hotter than the input (the sun). But in the ranges we care about (temperatures suitable for human habitation without massive adaptation and migration needed) it's effectively exponential.
> Being "canceled" is a choice that private individuals and institutions make to not associate themselves with speech, actions, or views they find either objectionable or simply damaging to their brand and business goals.

Being "denied a wedding cake because one is gay" is a choice that private bakeries and institutions make to not associate themselves with speech, actions, or views they find either objectionable or simply damaging to their brand and business goals.
Schools sort of fall in an area between private employer and government entity. They have to allow more leeway than a private employer (they can't prevent speech just because it makes them uncomfortable) but they can put more limits on speech than the government normally would be allowed (in the interest of the educational mission).

I guess this case is about whether cheerleading falls into the former or latter category.
Or you need a high-bandwidth coverage-everywhere comms system and a robust infrastructure for remote teleop, like what Starsky was building:

Then the steering-wheel-less car at least has the ability to call for help when it's only 98% sure of what to do instead of 99.99% sure. But obviously this kind of model only makes sense in a fleet context, not as an extension to something you own, so it requires greater shifts, at least for personal automobiles.

The Ease of Tracking Mobile Phones of U.S. Soldiers in Hot Spots
I think this exactly right. However, in the U.S. we have been moving in precisely the opposite direction for decades, centralizing power more and more at the federal level. This is, in part anyway, what has turned federal elections into such a bloodsport. If your side loses, people who don't share your values or understand anything about where you live suddenly have a big say in a lot of things that affect you directly. This is true regardless of your particular political affiliation.
I don't really tend to think of non-convex five-sided polygons as pentagons (even if they technically are), and I'm guessing they wanted to emphasis those are included too.
Have you ever watched The King and I? The original
Can we stop saying it's due to "lack of contextualization" as if it's something that just oddly happened?

The reason we lack context is that the world moved from chronological feeds to "engagement" based feeds. Anything that could have served as context gets optimized out, because more clicks. We're not naturally polarized - we have created an environment that favored the more outrageous claims, slowly removing the middle ground as if it didn't exist.

What we need isn't a "contextualizion engine", it's getting rid of active efforts to decontextualize.
Its like cabling or rails have never been used before to guide a machine along its intended path. Alternatively, markers could be placed at planting.
Thanks Steve, that's a great little project. Thanks for clear comments in the code too!
Unless the train was obscured from view by foliage at the height and angle that the lidar rests at, or if a truck pulled up next to the car, or... Well yeah, the only reason people can handle that situation reasonably well is that they have a large range of sensory input, most of that input has symbolic representation in the mind, and there's a healthy fear of dying that causes us to notice when the ground is shaking and reassess whether the train signal is working correctly.
The universal constant of climate is what?
It was 20 years away for a while. And may be again.
I don't disagree. But since adding more cameras to a car that already has cameras is a much more intuitive extension for Tesla to select, I used that as an example.
that's not quite right.

Computers currently are far worse than the good drivers out there. It is not clear if they ever could be better than a trained and cautious driver.

For example you can easily avoid the situation above by not talking on the phone while driving across rails.

> let's "defund" platforms which encourage division and turmoil.

While I broadly agree with you that social media platforms are a problem that needs fixing, "defunding" them is a nonsensical statement that only makes sense in reference and in direct contrast to "defunding the police".

These platforms are not "funded" because "funding" in this context refers to allocation decisions of PUBLIC TAXPAYER FUNDS. Private companies are not collecting tax dollars then spending them on fun riot gear to go cosplaying in as they gas people exercising their first amendment rights.

The whole premise of "defunding the police" is to reallocate public funds to different programs that we currently task our police with (mental health, drug addiction, sex work, etc))

I may have been unclear and didn't mean to imply there there was a rush of students declaring bankrupcy, thus this law made sense. The law is, in my opinion, stupid.

I was implying that education should never have been allowed to become so unreasonably expensive and unsustainable that it has to be propped up with special exceptions.

Yeah, it's really common for RISCs particularly to be three address instructions. Two address means a read modify write of one of the registers, which can make it more difficult to split dependencies for an example of one way it complicates higher perf designs.

> Seeds that are thrown the same distance as flax seeds have thus been selected for, making it near impossible to separate the seeds of these two species.
Yup, agreed. Speaking to others listening in: some weeds are edible, and other functions as part of ecological succession. We could be using farming practices that goes with that, rather than against it. Instead, industrial farming is optimized to produce single crops conforming to consumer expectations, cost-efficient harvesting, and durability for long transports and storage. Industrial farming is not optimized for nutritional value, freshness, and resilience against environmental stressors. The system by which 8 billion people are fed resembles a Ponzi scheme in which we are borrowing against future generations ... and with the increased variability in weather and water rights wars, it is only going to get more, not less, fragile.

Example is the dandelion. Besides having culinary and medicinal value, it acts as a pioneer species for depleted soil. Killing it with more roundup or zapping it with a laser, and then contaminating the land with more fertilizer will just encourage more dandelion growth. The land and ecosystem is signaling a fertility issue, and our present practices work against it.

I say this even though the common mallow is the bane of my existence here in the lower Sanoren ;-)
They're impressive when they're on a straight road. But I think it's very concerning just how noisy and low resolution the data the cameras are working with is. You can watch some of the videos and the car won't recognise other traffic until it's literally within 20 meters of the car. The 3D positions of the cars are jumping around constantly. It will get the speed of traffic wrong and try to turn straight in front of someone that would cause an accident. Yes it's Beta but it's still a huge huge huge way behind what Elon claimed it would be by now. And he's doubled down on the current hardware being all that's required.

I am 100% unconvinced that Tesla can get anywhere with their current system. I don't see how their low resolution cameras can get the necessary information for Level 5 autonomy. It almost feels like a reckless brute force approach to the problem. "Just let AI figure it out". Every autonomous vehicle company is going to be using some sort of machine learning but they're going to be feeding in huge amounts of data. Waymo for example is using multiple LIDAR scanners to build up an accurate 3D model of the world surrounding the car. That's what you need. Not what is effectively guesswork by an AI.

We still don't have truly reliable face detection even after decades of research and we're supposed to believe that a car can reliably drive itself on shitty low resolution cameras alone.
I am very fond of using graphviz (https://graphviz.org/) to draw the finite state machines that my programs interact with. For example, this is a description of the state machine inside the Linux kernel audio subsystem, as it was several years ago: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:c... You can draw it using ‘xdot’ for something interactive or with ‘dot’ for a static png or svg file.
Yes, and it's time to solve that problem once and for all with this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Apportionment_Am...

Interestingly this amendment was passed by congress with the bill of rights with no expiration and is still waiting before the States for ratification. So it does not require Congress to act, only many of the states. Another amendment passed with the bill of rights was ratified in 1992.

It would guarantee that all congressional seats on congress represent an equal number of people, thus making the house of representatives a truly democratic institution. It would make house representation a more local enterprise and reduce the effectiveness of gerrymandering. The downsides are of course that there would be thousands of representatives and the capitol would then need to be rebuilt or some other mechanism created for house and joint sessions.
