The diagnosis bit you mentioned is especially helpful with rare diseases. There are 7000+ rare diseases which can take 5–10 years to diagnose. Computers will hopefully be able to do a better job at picking these up (some interesting companies like Mendelian, Ada Health etc. are working on this)
Thanks for posting this, very interesting. The linkedin profile pointed to a youtube video (unlisted) that was pretty interesting and covered how they could calculate eye safely using simple math that indicated the safe distance was 2 meters away. They appeared to be using blue LEDs at high intensity to char-or-inactivate weed photosynthesis.

I would describe it as follows, maybe a little easier to visualize. Draw six dots, draw either a red or a blue line from every dot to every other dot. You must draw either a completely red triangle or a completely blue triangle. Personally I don't think it sounds intuitive when stated like that!
>If said dude had the bible quotation about there being two genders, will that change the statement from being political to being religion, and prevent him from getting fired?

You raise an interesting point, because I feel like they would be fired for that indeed. What makes it interesting is that it becomes a political message wrapped in a religious statement, and I have zero clue as to how courts would approach that.

I think it just could be the case of a simple misconduct that has nothing to do with religious prosecution, because I don't think you would be able to get away with wearing a tshirt with a lot of really explicit and graphic quotes from the old testament at work, despite them having nothing to do with gender or politics (e.g., the example of Ezekiel 23:20 with very explicit content about reproductive anatomy of horses and donkeys comes to mind).
> governments are trying to ban because how unthreatening it is.

Replace "unthreatening" with "harmful" and you'll have a more accurate reason for governments to ban it, and no contradiction.
Tesla would be lucky if the extent of its challenges were having enough cameras pointing in the right direction. Tesla handicapped itself by only developing its driving systems with cameras and not lidar.

it's in her interest to be banned from cheerleading anyway. so many better sports or other things to do with that time. I don't get why cheerleading is so popular. a "sport" that just sexualizes little girls, parading them at half times. if there was ever a sexist tradition that doesn't die, it's this one -- women training to "cheer" male teams where cheer means doing sexy dances at half time to entertain the men drinking beer in the audience

Look, I realize there can be a double standard, but please, this is a bit much.

As someone who played on the football team, you are more likely to play in games by being bigger, stronger, faster, and more intense than the other dudes at your position. Coaches give no consideration to anything beyond that.
I am not convinced there will ever be a universe where we are "getting rid of cars." At best, I think, we decrease emissions associated with them.

> Keep an arm's length away from your camera

> Eye contact is incredibly important for showing others you're engaged and paying attention. Taking a small step back from the camera will decrease the angle between your eyes and the camera, making it seem more like you're making eye contact.

this is actually a really great trick! and straightforward explanation.

thank you, nice project, wondering why you made it a standalone site. are you intending to build on this further?
The power of reps extends far beyond just passing legislation, and even then, essentially all of them are on some committees. Lots of them (maybe even most/all?) make themselves accessible to constituents to help work through government bureaucracy, and a representative shining a light on a constituent's issue can help things get addressed. I'm not sure jumping straight to 10,000 reps would necessarily be the best idea, but I think having been static for the past 100 years isn't ideal either.

I'm not really sure about the answers to your questions, but it vaguely seems like the type of thing they'd want to go big on or not at all, for economies of scale. I also suspect they can get a better margin on each M1-based device selling them in consumer products.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Mother_Teresa

A relevant quote from there summarizing some of them:

"caring for the sick by glorifying their suffering instead of relieving it, ... her questionable political contacts, her suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received, and her overly dogmatic views regarding, in particular, abortion, contraception, and divorce".
What you're describing is just Finder caring. Linux doesn't care at all about your file extensions but Nautilus sure does.

In in Whitby, Ontario, Canada, a dad and his son were killed driving a car across a railway crossing with no gates. The dad (driver) was on his phone at the time and it is believed the phone blocked his view of the train and he was talking to much to hear the train.

The person he was talking to said they were talking like normal and suddenly the phone cut off.

Computers probably can not be worse that the people already on the road.
This would violate one of the central promises of the union which was that the large populous areas would not be able to dictate to the smaller regions and would instead be forced to compromise with them. We seem poised to start expanding the union again in the coming decades. Imagine how much more difficult it would be to get smaller Mexican states or central American countries to agree to join the union if they believed they would have no say in running their local after doing so.

I understand where you are coming from as the US is so homogenous now thanks to 250 years of interstate population movement that the delineations seem arbitrary and unfair, but they were very distinct separate regions once upon a time and looking forward the regions we hope to bring into our union are more different than the average American than similar so these same protections will be critical to the effort.
Massively devastating natural events + crappy economy + local governmental corruption + freedom of movement into the US = a lot of people leaving.

Honestly, the fact that even more people don't flee that island for mainland US is a testament to the importance people place on their "homeland".
> i think it may be that. When I see some code like this in C++

Indeed and I think this is the root of all the internet shouting on abstraction-heavy languages vs procedural/"simple" languages. A lot of folks that think in abstraction find it tedious and unsafe to deal with detail-oriented languages, while folks who are more detail-oriented find the abstraction disorienting and unsafe in their own way. Given that one group can't do away with another group, I hope we can all learn to work together.
Even if all your electricity comes from burning fossil fuels switching to EVs should be an emissions win.

Your fossil fuel burning electrical generation facility can be equipped with things to capture emissions. So can a fossil fuel burning car, but the car needs to be small, mobile, and light weight and that limits how much you can capture emissions. The electrical generation facility doesn't have those constraints.
Cool, I'll try this out tomorrow with an old phone and some voile straps.
It makes sense, as culturally the US is collapsing rapidly into a cesspool of nanny state authoritarianism in every possible manner. I can't figure out why anybody would want to live here, it's an increasingly despicable, suffocating culture. We're starting to see the first hints of an American firewall on expression and speech. It has gotten drastically worse over the past 10-15 years.

Every time I watch a movie made before approximately 2010, I laugh about the fact that almost no good movie (any IMDB decent rated movie) made prior to then could be made again today, due to the authoritarian SJW cancel culture, everyone must be protected from being offended at all times. Padded intellectual prisons for all.

The biggest hint of the US intellectual infantile collapse and how far along it is, is that "hate" speech is increasingly taken serious as a notion. Anyone that refers to "love" and "hate" as intellectual concepts that should govern human rights or speech, is a terrifying and dangerous mental infant. Hate is a particularly vague term to use to govern speech, which is the entire point, so the people in control can decide what can be said and what can't be (including restricting criticism directed at those in power; restrictions all authoritarians will always pursue).
"Blinded by the sun" is an understandable failure-state when you design a driving system that's reliant on cameras.
From https://arstechnica.com/cars/2019/05/feds-autopilot-was-acti...: "Theoretically, it should be possible to detect the side of a truck using cameras. But it's not always easy. In some lighting conditions, for example, the side of a trailer might be hard to distinguish from the sky behind it."
They certainly voted themselves out of the legislative work of actually understanding technology.

The number of representatives makes it hard to fairly apportion the seats. Montana went from 1 representative for 1M people to 2 for 1M, meaning each should represent about 500k people. Meanwhile in my district in NJ over 700k people are represented by one person. It was unfair before, when Montanans had too few representatives, and it is just as unfair now, when they have too many (compared to NJ). More representatives would improve the granularity and make the system (somewhat) fairer.

The place I talked about had no gates, after the accident they added gates.
I stopped being able to get work done at all. It gradually tipped me into a low-self-esteem death spiral. I tried lots of different approaches to fix it: more accountability with my manager, new medication, more regular exercise, therapy, a bit of disability leave, even moved to a bigger apartment where I could have my own office. Nothing got me past the block.

I quit my job, spent six weeks studying and interviewing aggressively, and got hired for a higher-level position at a different company. I pushed back my start date enough that I'll onboard in an office instead of remotely. In the meantime I'm working on my health and personal projects, and spending lots of time with friends and in nature.

I gave up trying to work remotely this time around, but I'm still hopeful that at some point I'll improve my coping skills enough that it will be an option.
I'd settle for a manually operated laser to zap weeds.
That "deafening silence" is the entire point of Bumble. It seems really mentally gymnastic to see the women-initiate-conversation-first rule as "dumping even more work on the woman." What is more exhausting:

1. Choosing entirely on one's own terms whether to say "hey" to someone you swiped right on

2. Sifting through literally hundreds of "hey"s from men
Don't forget - the 2020 census was interfered with for expressly political gains.

That seems relevant to any discussion if it's outcomes. While states themselves are not nearly as red/blue at the district level as they might be in the aggregate, it is absolutely worth noting that a net 6 additional congressional seats are going from "Blue" states to "Red" states.

The actual impact of the census may be even bigger than this - for all we knew the REVERSE trend should have occurred as the country's demographics shift.

Whether or not the variation is a predictable cycle notwithstanding, there is a substantial natural variation, and the 1960s coincided with a drop in Atlantic sea temperatures of the right order of magnitude. Which suggests that natural variation could have caused the 1960s to be unusually cool relative to overall warming trends.
I have both a Roku and a Chromecast and the Roku works _much_ better. The Chromecast used to be fine, but a few years ago they refactored it in the Home app and now it constantly needs to be reconnected to the wifi. That would be annoying enough but the setup process also fails regularly. No other device in my house has this problem.
Right, because people have LIDAR installed already.
Threads + some kind of channel (a la Erlang processes or Go's goroutines) are pretty much direct programmatic representations of CSP.

sorry if i misinterpreted, but i dont think that is correct that erlang processes exemplify channels/csp

afaiu erlang is based on non-sequencial processes more like the actor model, there is no "communicating sequencial" process at the base of it (though you can implement csp in actor languages) afaik

here you can see joe armstrong and carl hewitt fundamentally disagree with sir tony haore (csp) and sequential channels as a fundamental construct

> Coins minted from staking would need to be continuously re-staked in order to maintain current profitability relative to your competitors

Everybody gets the exact same rate of return regardless of how much they have staked. Each validator has 32 ETH and gets the same amount of reward. You can take your profits and make a new validator or use them for something else, either way your existing validators will have the same profitability as everyone else.
The edge case that I always go to on why truly autonomous vehicles are decades+ away is winter driving. Lane markers and road signs disappear. Slush and salt spray constantly obscure sensors.

Winter driving as a human driver requires an entirely different approach and Waymo hangs out in the Arizona desert where there is basically never any inclement weather.
Revenue doubling over 3 years isn't mega growth?

Tesla isn't some start up that just IPO'd, it's one of the world's largest companies. Very few companies manage to double revenue in 3 years.

So you might next claim that revenue only doubled but stock price 10x'd over that time period. Well the reason is pretty simple, an investor who buys Tesla before its revenue grows will enjoy a better return on their investment compared to an investor who waits until afterwards to invest.

When investing, you want to look to the future potential of the company, not its past. If every 3 years Tesla manages to double their revenue, then after 6 years Tesla's revenue will match what you think is a reflection of today's stock price. At that point it will be too late to capitalize off of Tesla's stock price.

So either Tesla fails to continue its growth, maybe people end up losing interest in electric vehicles and other projects Tesla is working on, or maybe its competitors manage to produce a better electric vehicle and end up with superior battery technology... or Tesla will continue to dominate this sector, will continue innovating in this area, and in so doing will capture new segments of the electric vehicle economy that very few people are able to appreciate today.

The stock market is risky business, no one has a crystal ball, but the market is indicating that electric vehicles are going to be the future, and Tesla is the dominant player in this emerging market.
It's one thing for a school to exercise editorial control over a student paper (previous SCOTUS case), but it's quite another for them to try to control student speech outside of school.

A lot of public schools in the US are miserable places with dumb and often hostile adults. I agree that they are the ones bullying the student here - I hope the school loses.
Yup. Doesn't look like there is a way back. I wonder what this will mean for the JS-experience in Rails. Rails is so big it lives outside Basecamp, but Hotwire is so tied to the company.
Indeed, a Toyota with a critical fatality-inducing safety defect every 200,000 trips would be rightfully viewed as a deathtrap. Given that the average trip is probably somewhere around ~30 miles that would be a fatality per 6M miles versus the standard of ~60M miles in the US, or about 10x more dangerous. However, when comparing a car versus airplanes, given that they both fulfill the niche of transportation and are to some degree substitutable, a more reasonable analysis would be fatalities/person-hour or fatalities/person-mile. For fatalities/person-hour the average flight is something like ~2 hours. In the same amount of time 200,000 cars for 2 hours at an average of 40 mph would be ~16M miles, so the 737 MAX is ~4x more dangerous on a person-hour basis than cars. If we go by distance the average flight is ~500 miles, so the 737 MAX had a fatality per 100M person-miles or is ~1.6x safer than driving. That is just how high our standards are with planes that a plane that is viewed as an absolute death machine that is totally unfit for use is safer than its primary alternative for an equivalent distance. A plane that is 100x worse than any other commercial plane is still better than the non-plane alternative on a per-distance basis.

Obviously, this does not excuse their actions as they still made a system at least 100x more dangerous than the standard, but it should give perspective on the difficulty of the problems actually being solved. It is not a bunch of amateurs or below-average engineers who need to adopt basic practices. It is a bunch of highly-skilled professionals developing systems with a level of reliability far beyond what most software developers even think is possible. Even the abysmal processes of the 737 MAX that are far below the standard in the airplane industry would, relative to most software, be very good. It is just that the problems they need to solve are very, very, very hard and very good does not cut it when lives, not data, are at stake.
It makes sense when you are comparing them to companies that do hundreds of billions in annual revenue. Big and small are relative.
I loathe to think about more complicated regulation, but I think Elon is pushing the boundaries of disclosure. That, and that we have a lot of new populism in stocks, makes me think the SEC maybe needs an update.

I kind of like Elon being able to say 'whatever', but on the other hand, it's not his money now, it's crossed the threshold into public financing, so statements like L2 v. L5 are 'material' and saying the wrong thing is a 'lie' and 'bad'.

Again with the paradox is that he's going to be hosting SNL which is kind of fun to see, on the other hand, it's going to be another occasion to hustle a stock or some kind of crypto which is distasteful.
