> Remember how lackluster Stadia was with video games?

First you don’t need to remember, it’s still there.

Second I don’t see your point, quite the contrary. Stadia is criticized for the lack of games and doubts about longevity, but it runs extremely well. On a decent wired connection people can’t tell the difference with running the game locally.

If anything, having tried Stadia makes my doubts disappear about this kind of technology.
Really don't want to be dismissive, but this guy appears to me as having one gesture (both hands towards the viewer, to underscore the graveness of his words), a good haircut and that's about it.

If find it hard to take a presentation like this serious. Most of the mentioned facts are right as far as i can judge it without having a major in physics, but to me this is so very much worse than a link to backreaction (Sabine Hossenfelder), startswithabang (Ethan Siegel) or almost any other serious physics blog out there as anything else.

I suppose this will get downvoted, and I'm fine with that, but please explain to me why a self-promoting video guy with probably 5% understanding of the matter compared to a serious pop-sci blog is so relevant to you.

Heck, even wikipedia has more information than this clip. And it doesn't cost 13 minutes + ads, just 5 minutes to read.

It's not a paradox a neutron star gets smaller the more mass you add to it. This is also true for Jupiter-sized objects; it is a function of density, matter and gravity, and not related (in this case) to special relativity.

>There are at least 3 known cases where autopilot failed and someone died.

Depending how you falsely define "failure," Autopilot can be falsely said to fail all the time.

If you set an unrealistic bar, it can fail each and every second of every drive, according to some fallacious definitions.

Fully replacing the driver is not a claimed feature of the current system.

Future systems, sure. But current systems? Nope.

Therefore, as has been clearly stated in many places, the human driver is responsible for maintaining safe operation of the vehicle.

So, the human is to blame in these cases, not Autopilot.
Here's a thought. One of the most frustrating things to me about this kind of thing is that Google (or any other major tech company) could just ignore me and just tell me "you're malware". I get it. Technology people cost a lot of money, so I would propose that companies who the public depend on MUST offer consulting out-of-band at an hourly (or daily?) rate. This way the real issues are squashed.

Now I know that I can get the guidance I need to fix the problems my product is having. Also this helps reassure the public about the big companies intentions in that these FUD stories will become instantly irrelevant. You want your stuff fixed? Pay for the guidance. You don't want to spend the time fixing the issues? So be it. But don't expect anyone to listen to your problems.

On top of this, if it's a small open-source project, create a way to streamline funding for the guidance. If a lot of people depend on your project they'll almost certainly chip in a small sum per person for the guidance you need.

Is that because, so far, if you were to measure since its inception, it's outperformed any other hedge against inflation?
> What happens in any language where you batch stuff in memory? If the system breaks down, you lose that data. This isn't unique to Erlang/Elixir.

A little over a decade ago I did a project using Erlang. My next project was using Ruby, and I was suddenly _horrified_ by the fact that I had no idea what would happen if the application crashed (and Ruby apps, at least in those days, crashed fairly often). Erlang/Elixir both forces you to think about these things, and gives you tools to address them, where many other languages (or their libraries) simply assume that we will stay on the happy path.

Of course, you can be very productive using languages that just ignore the possibility of very rare failures. Many successful systems work on the basis that sometimes shit just happens and maybe some data does get lost. But, after programming with Erlang or Elixir for a while, that situation starts to feel less acceptable!

Why is that?

> There was your will to post your comment, did you do that without consideration?

Consideration can be deterministic

> Free will lives on a spectrum of total freedom to total bondage, and varies by context and situation.

I think our definition of it varies.

> Total freedom is the goal of the spiritual path. Of course, it's easier to say that there is no freedom and therefore continue in our habituated ways without challenging the notion that maybe we are not entirely free.

The decision to challenge can also be deterministic and does not require free will.

> Knowing that freedom is possible…

Ditto.

You can get free enterprise access to a lot of the major flight tracker services by setting up an ADSB receiver and feeding the data to them. Basically they give you full access to everything as if you were paying for the top tier of their services, because you're helping increase the coverage of their data. A few such services:

https://www.flightradar24.com

https://flightaware.com/

https://www.radarbox.com/

https://skyscanworld.com/

There's also https://www.adsbexchange.com/ which doesn't filter their data (probably much to the chagrin of various businesses and governments). If you see/hear a weird plane above and you can't find it on the commercial services above, check ADSB Exchange.

The best part of the IndieWeb is that you don't have to go "all-in" on day 1. I have a static JS-free site with a self-hosted Webmention receiver (https://seirdy.one); Hugo pulls in the JSON-encoded Webmentions during `hugo build` in CI.

The combination of Webmentions and Microformats creates a self-hosted comments section where everyone's comment is hosted on their preferred platforms: comments/likes are preferably hosted on commenters' own websites, but they can also be hosted on silos like Twitter or the Fediverse.

> If you feel it should be different, make sure you are holding enough equity to set the rules or as I mentioned, find a new job that agrees with you.

This is a false dichotomy.

It is analogous to people who say "love it or leave it" with regards to patriotism for a country.

In my experience, when I hear a person say "if you don't like X about what Y does, find a new Y", I also find evidence that they often lack the ability to observe without judgement. Because of this, they may lack compassion.

Would you say the same thing to someone who doesn't have much leverage to find a better job?

I wonder, would you tell them "to just deal with it"? Or would you simply admit that there are many paths to addressing issues?

There are people in the world that are rule-followers to a fault.

1. Say your partner has a life threatening emergency and you must drive them to the hospital. Do you run a stop sign if there is no cross traffic? Rule followers might say no. However, a higher standard of ethics might say that saving a life is more important.

2. Say your company has a policy that says "don't talk about your concerns about the company on the message board". Let's say you have concerns and have raised them via "proper" channels but the result in unsatisfactory. Do you raise them more generally? Rule followers might say no. Wise people weigh the issue and consider the pros and cons.

The world is about actions and consequences. In my view, that is what the rules tell you. The rules don't always simplistically define ethics. Rules, like any formal system, are not adequate substitutes for guiding principles and conscience.
This is besides the point, to the extent that it's not just wrong.

The goal here is obviously to build an experimental building, and isn't even explicitly related to affordable housing. Meanwhile, this building method produces a different building to the one you suggest. It's an irrelevant comparison for that reason alone, but there are lots. What if the factory is far away? The fact that transport needs are totally different is actually useful.

Also, what's with this static mindset? Don't you think there are no new building methods to be had?

Personally, I'm quite interested in these printed structures. They're not ready for major use yet, maybe they won't ever be. Practicability will (or won't) be proven when large projects are attempted. You need small projects first.

TLDR, of course they could have just parked an RV there. That's not the point.
Very informative. I got an Oura ring on the way because someone else recommended it here, so I should be able to get some data points soon. I was thinking about the relationship between stress and performance on my walk today. Isn't stress necessary to get better performance/results? For example, the stress of beating your mile time by one second. Is there good and bad stress? I'm seeing some hits on google, but I'm wondering if you have any insights on this. I took the week off like others have suggested and that has definitely helped with the stress, but I feel that being this relaxed is making it difficult to get into the zone.
Some comments below keep saying that CPI measures things like food and energy prices.

What we really mean is that Fed policy is dictated by the Core PCE rate, which specifically excludes food and energy prices. So sure, the CPI measures energy and food prices and other volatiles prices, but *FED POLICY is dictated by the CORE rates*, which specifically exclude those volatile components.

So de facto, no one (ie. the Fed) doesn't care about energy or food price inflation.

What evidence? Evidence that lots of diving places take safety shortcuts?

I myself got my first certifications with two amazing divers, they taught me very well and I had a lot of fun. However they also allowed people to take dives that they weren't certified for, because it was a small diving center they could only do two dives a day and they had to satisfy a wide range of divers.

They did that with people that they had taught and knew well, and never had issues (certainly not a 60m compressed air dive as in the article!) but it did indeed make diving somewhat less safe.

Sure. No matter what your definition of "own" is -- I am saying, my car is already the same thing.

The question is, do we have a good solution to enable the average user to own their device while also ensuring security and availability?

We have two options with cars, either intentionally implement a security hole, or let the manufacturer "own" it. Because the other option -- tell the customer they're SOL when they lose their private key, is not a solution that is practical (grandma will lose hers) or possibly even legal (manufacturers' obligation under lemon law).
I started using rsync.net a number of years ago to house remote backups of my then-employer's critical data. At that time, we had a SBS 2k3 server for all the in-office files; the rsync team was more than happy to walk me through establishing (and testing) an automated backup solution that worked well until we decommissioned the in-office domain controller. I visited and helped them move from the current iteration of an on-premise Windows server to a Synology for in-office file storage (and for capturing backups of cloud services) and they were again more than happy to assist in setting up that process as well.

The type of data stored with them requires notification of the data subjects if there is a breach (even if that breach is due to legal process), I've found the warrant canary to be quite reassuring and understandable to the non-technical people whose business is at risk in the event of data loss. We don't get that same level of assurance with some of the other places we might store our backup.

It's hard to think of a "cloud" provider as providing personalized service, but rsync.net pulls it off. They've helped take the fear out of storing critical data on "other people's computers" by proving themselves reliable, trustworthy, and helpful.
> Things either have a cause, and then they are causal. Or they have no cause, and then they are random.

This is probably the most succinct statement that sums up the problem with "free will". As soon as you start to try to define "free will" in terms of the natural sciences you run into insurmountable contradictions that suggest that it must be an illusion.

Edit: I wonder what proportion of posters here believe both that "free will" is not an illusion and that "strong AI" is possible.

This line in the opening paragraph really rubs me the wrong way:

> “I'm ashamed to say most of my Elixir education has been through trial and error, figuring things out as I go along“

This attitude is so prevalent in software as if we are all supposed to be divined with programming knowledge the moment our IDE spins up. In every other industry that’s exactly how you learn: Get your hands dirty, make mistakes, and fix them.

There’s a lot of things wrong with software engineering - harboring this attitude that self-taught learning is bad or shameful makes it unnecessarily worse

Great write-up otherwise
> You seem to be very confident that if kernel devs would just Do It Right then they could eliminate all bugs and malicious code

You wrote that, I didn't. The Linux kernel has chosen its route, I am not going tell them that they should do different.

All I say is should be possible to write a kernel that is reviewable by more people. It will be less scalable and less performant. But that's a price I might be ready to pay both for myself and for my work. My machines are hardly ever limited by kernel performance. Others might certainly have use cases where that is not true.

The Untold Story of Napoleon Hill, the Greatest Self-Help Scammer (2016)
I did my first dives in Dahab, Egypt including at the Blue Hole. This location was my first experience with narcosis; but, it was planned. Myself, my father, and our instructor dove down to 45m and he handed me a whiteboard to write on. He asked me very basic questions like how to spell your name and I remember really having to think hard to answer.

In general, if you are diving to see fish, it's rare to go past 20-30m (the minimum depth to exp. narcosis). The visibility is worse the deeper you go and typically if there is a reef at 30m there is also one at 15m where your oxygen will last longer, less cold, etc...

I don't think diving needs to be dangerous to be enjoyed. It's about seeing an entirely new world and the moving in the medium of water. The people who've perished at the Blue Hole are taking an extraordinary amount of risk - diving solo, descending to 150m - for 'achievement' purposes and I understand Omar's frustration.
