Actually, the next most logical version is an implement that runs off the PTO drive of a tractor, not drones. One needs to piggyback off existing infrastructure, not replace it.

My high school summer job actually was helping with wheat harvest. You can only work when it's hot as you get better prices on the harvest.

There were certain kinds of weeds that really clog the combine (usually ragweed, not a huge problem in the early summer, but weird things happen) or cause damage to the cutting head (invasive brush/tree species). We walked the field and pulled anything really bad out.

It is hard to figure out what happened when everybody is "they". I don't think using "he" or "she" would do any harm here.
The use of "the" isn't the weird part. The weird part is that the article attempts to draw a contrast between "pentagons" and "five-sided polygons", which are exactly the same thing.

> Welp, I specifically bought a Roku device a few months ago just to use YouTube.

We have Rokus (a 4K Ultra in the living room and a TCL Roku TV in the bedroom), as well as a 4K Chromecast, and until we got the Roku Ultra we had a Nvidia Shield TV. We keep more than one type of device specifically because it is inevitable that a provider (Roku, Amazon, Google) will drop a service we enjoy. This actually happened with the Shield which is why we replaced it with a Roku; it was no longer working with Emby at all, and it was flaking out on certain other services. It could have been just a case of bad hardware but it was flawless for two years straight until one by one services stopped working on it.

This is also why I have a Mac, a couple of Windows PCs, a Linux workstation, and a BSD laptop. When one of the above can't do something, one of the others can.

Neat, though they look unoptimized at a glance. For example, I'd expect the strlen loop to be rotated so that there is only a single backwards branch instruction per iteration. Basically, you want the loop structure to be:

count = 0
goto check
body:
count++, ptr++
check:
if *ptr != 0 goto body

(The initial jump could be a copy of the check instead)

Depends on the weed and the ground cover the weeds are competing against. For many weeds, simply mowing them in the presence of decent ground cover is completely effective, as they’re optimized to grow tall quickly - defoliate them at the right time and they’ve already spent their energy reserves.
That cynicism won't help you in life.

Most of human interactions is a facade of some sort. Smalltalk, icebreakers, most of early dating, even most professional conversations.

I know introverts and folks on the spectrum find this intolerable. But it's the foundations of human society.

You can hate it, but hating it will only make you angry. Instead, treat it like a game. There are many games you can play in the world to deal with something painful or frustrating.

If you're stuck trying to fall asleep, you pretend you're counting sheep jumping a fence.

If you're stuck in traffic, you try to guess which lane might be moving faster and make micro optimizations to get their faster.

If you're stuck looking for a life partner in a social setting, the game is act like you don't need one, that your life is fully complete without them, and that you don't care about any one specific given social interaction. Of course, the best way to play that game is to actually live that authentic life. But we all fail at hiding our emotions and true intentions in one way or another. So we play games to camouflage it like holding a drink and acting like that's all that we need to be engaged and interested.
I would (and in fact kind of do) agree with you... but for the assumption that we have all read this one particular article; like, the premise here isn't that "this is the specific literature you must read", but "why assume I read that when there is so much less to have read? here is what I would have said you should have read, and I can't imagine you did!".

I guess maybe the issue in your comment is that my complex sentence with "is more than a bit frustrating" was mis-parsed, as you left off the direct referent of it and then seem to be arguing back at me with the same point I was trying to make with some emphatic irony (I was really hoping to provide three papers all from 1978, but there wasn't a perfect one on continuations)... to re-architect the center a bit:

> ...the idea that I must have read this one random recent blog post [--when I can't imagine this person has read the specific literature I think everyone should have read, as there was an infinite amount of it and a lot of it is equivalent to the rest: the only thing that makes this blog post exciting is almost certainly some kind of recency bias--] is more than a bit frustrating.

People rarely buy a car advertised as "capable of basic transportation" but even so you might be surprised how often it struggles to get into gear or is obnoxiously loud or has unadvertised kinks in its coolant lines, so a test drive is a good idea.

You can't easily tell whether a car will get better or worse the more you drive it, but you can tell when a car is immediately fun to drive. Start with the car that's fun to drive and hope it gets better (with proper care and maintenance) not worse.
It's misleading, since it sounds like everywhere is just going to be a tiny bit warmer, basically unnoticeable. However, it's really about the massive amount of energy required to warm the atmosphere up by that much, and how that energy isn't equally distributed.

One analogy I use is: imagine sitting in a pool with friends, and one person starts pushing one of those floating lounge chairs up and down. They might only increase the average height of the water by a millimeter or so, but the whole pool starts getting more wavy and chaotic. That's how it is with our atmosphere - more extreme events (both "hot" and "cold") occur and in general more chaotic weather as that energy is spread in waves and troughs throughout the world.
Yeah I'm just wrong about that, my knowledge is mostly historical and it's hard for me to get out of the mindset of the L-carriers where amplifier interval was 2-10 miles. The amplifier interval on the fiber these days is long enough they just build one of these points each time instead of having line-powered amplifier vaults.

That said out west where I am it's very common for fiber routes to follow the L-carrier routes and reuse the formerly line-powered amplifier sites for add-drop, but I believe they've had the utility install conventional power everywhere they've done that.
You're incorrect that neuroscientists and computational researchers don't collaborate. In fact, "computational neuroscience" departments have existed at major universities for a number of years. DeepMind was a spin-off of the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at UCL, and they continue to be influential in both neuroscience and (more famously) in artificial intelligence research. Here's an article from 2020 by authors at DeepMind and Geoff Hinton about potential biologically plausible mechanisms for backpropagation in the brain [0]. So, you can see that the fields actually influence each other in both directions. Computational researchers often propose ideas that neuroscientists then attempt to understand in biological systems. This same principle is true at all levels of computational and biological abstraction, from simulating individual neurons to machine learning and common sense. For the latter, research by Josh Tenenbaum might interest you.

The reason this works is that there seem to be fundamental principles underlying information processing. Brains and CPU's are both systems that manipulate and store information, albeit in very different ways. Hell, even single cells and slime molds are capable of rudimentary decision making.

So, the point is that we don't need to copy the brain. Instead, we just need to understand the principles of information well enough to build machines that can efficiently manipulate information and intelligence will arise out of that. Information theory and (by extension) statistics are the fields that deal most closely with this question, which is why they're used heavily by both neuroscientists and ML researchers.

A rough analogy is that we don't build airplanes that flap their wings to fly. Instead, we understand aerodynamics well enough to generate lift and thrust through other mechanisms that evolution can't find. Like jet engines.

Also, "slavishly" copying nature is insanely difficult. Biological neurons and brain tissue are extremely complex and poorly understood. Much of this complexity is likely incidental to information processing and would only hamper our efforts to build intelligent machines. Like, do we want our computer brain to get multiple sclerosis if the simulated neurons demyelinate?

> The school must abide by policies and incorporate student's right to free speech,

"Though public school students do possess First Amendment freedoms, the courts allow school officials to regulate certain types of student expression. For example, school officials may prohibit speech that substantially disrupts the school environment or that invades the rights of others. Many courts have held that school officials can restrict student speech that is lewd.

Many state constitutions contain provisions safeguarding free expression. Some state Supreme Courts have interpreted their constitutions to provide greater protection than the federal Constitution. In addition, a few states have adopted laws providing greater protection for freedom of speech." - https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/about/faq/what-rights-...

Properties are verbose but they are absolutely not necessarily for not-bean-oriented codebases.

> Out of curiosity, why do kids need to learn programming early at all?

Simon Peyton Jones gave a great lecture on this topic at Strange Loop a few years ago. Basically, "computer science" can be reframed as the study of information, computation and communication. Thinking about these subjects rigorously and solving the problems surrounding them is a foundational skill that is much more broadly applicable than just in programming, and really does not need to involve computers at all (as he shows in his lecture.

> I could be totally wrong, but I've never seen an instance where kids exposed to dumbed-down "reduced complexity" material outperform those that weren't, except in sports and art.

I'm not sure I follow. I mean, that's how children learn to read and write, it is not? Or how they learn maths at school: one step at a time.

They essentially build communications software –– social software. To try and say that you can do this without ever considering social issues is strange to me, and seems like at worst, it could damage their products.

For one thing, there is no shortage of examples of social products that have launched offerings without thinking how they could be abused (hello cross-Slack messaging) and had to recant quickly. But to go more deep: social software is about community, and communities bring political and social issues with them.

Should you have a gender field in your user form? What values should it have? Should you have vacation auto-responders? How will they operate? Do you have activity lights? With what timeout? Should you allow users to filter or block one another? What emoji do you offer? What biases do they exhibit? Will you refuse certain kinds of customer? Will you _protect_ certain kinds of customer despite public outcry? Or certain kinds of content?

How you approach these sorts of questions can touch on a wide range of social/political issues, and they appear to be saying "only David and Jason can discuss, decide or think about these things". Which seems ... limiting.

By your expansive definition of coercion, everyone else would be getting "coerced" into contact with many more unvaxxed potential carriers by things like going to get groceries, getting on flights, getting tickets etc...exactly the same limitations you're claiming are coercing people into getting vaccines.

So under your expansive definition - which IMO is not the right or correct one - sure, people are getting coerced into getting vaccines. And if they aren't coerced, it's coercion against the rest of the population.

That's why your definition isn't useful and isn't used, and "coercion" is generally used for a specific set of acts.
> I'm surprised they still bother. I think with all the concerns surrounding it it's better to just agree to cancel the contracts and move to better vaccines.

I agree with the surprise and the concerns (though most are FUD, misunderstanding, and politics). The point about better vaccines is a little unfair though.

Initially regulators were hopeful for 50% efficacy for any vaccine. Depending upon the various studies and permutations the vaccines all fall within a few % of each other and at a rate far higher than hoped for. The variance is small enough to not be a concern.

The blood clot incident rates are tiny and whilst unfortunately people do experience them the MHRA (UK) reports 38 per 11.5 million for Pfizer and 30 per 9.7 million for AZ, making them virtually identical (Pfizer slightly worse but with such small numbers that really isn't significant so I'm not claiming Pfizer is worse just that neither is AZ). We'd expect 3,000 clots per month in the UK in normal times anyway. And even if we say that these are unusual clots, the numbers remain small and AZ is not unusual in this regard.

AZ isn't perfect - but it's beyond good enough and not particularly poorer than its peers.

> Why does climate change increase exponentially? For reasons other than our collective output increasing exponentially?

I'm a decades long 'climate change alarmist'.

We really don't know if the temperature is really increasing exponentially, considering the proper definition of exponential: "a value increases in proportion to its current value". Also consider that "exponential growth" doesn't necessarily mean "extremely fast"...at least in reasonable time horizons.

I and many others think that the amount of energy in our planet's atmosphere is increasing, and we also believe the rate of increase is increasing. This might be technically 'exponential', but it very well might not. It could 'just' be quadratic...which, given the 'right' constants, could be even worse.

> For reasons other than our collective output increasing exponentially?

Humanity's greenhouse gas output was growing (something like) exponentially (ie, 'very fast') for a good while, but it's probably no longer: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co-emissions-by-re...

To your underlying, fundamental question: why is the rate of increase probably increasing? Feedback effects. To seriously get into the weeds, look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedback

In short, all chaotic but meta-stable systems, such as our planet's climate, have built in many 'tipping points', where a small change in input can have a very large change in behaviour. Under ideal circumstances, such tipping points are quite hard to identify with any precision, and virtually impossible with the most complex system in the world: earth's climate.

Even shorter: we don't know for certain, but there's a large and ever growing pile of data that shows here and now impacts of a warming climate. Per my other comment, for example: the rate at which 100, 500 and 1000 year extreme weather events are occurring.

In summary: us not knowing with certainty does NOT mean we should not make it a top priority to start reversing the things we do know are causing damage: enormous releases of CO2 and CH4.

The concept of altruism does not require it to be "pure" or entirely selfless. Altruism can have benefits but those benefits can exist outside of economy and into the realm of the personal, spiritual, social, etc.

In other words, that doesn't disprove altruism so much as it proves that economic self-interest is not our only motivator.
