Fascinating as the exploit itself is, it makes me wonder how long manufacturers will "support" these newer connected vehicles. Having an outdated smartphone is one thing, you risk your personal data being targeted if the manufacturer decides to no longer support it after a few years - but the risk seems much larger if you've got say, Teslas (though I'm sure it applies to most other vehicles these days), with unpatched, well documented vulnerabilities which could endanger the life of the occupants if exploited.

The one saving grace here is perhaps "This attack does not yield drive control of the car"... I'd be fascinated to know what the separation of systems looks like in a modern connected vehicle. I'm assuming it's not likely to be physically possible to gain drive control of the vehicle through its infotainment system?

I think the movie title is only mentioned so readers know what he is writing about. The article is about how Abagnale claims are bogus. He only conned his readers and listeners.
How much longer can that keep up until we see some sort of strange Balkanization and increased secretarian violence.

I don’t see how we can keep up the facade of a united nation where more or less two factions bubble up that are clearly opposed along irredeemable lines (personally I believe there are more than two factions but they tend to bubble up and ally into just two in a way that makes differentiation basically meaningless)
Today at least all the gpt3 we read is still hand selected by another human, so if it communicated feeling in the editor, we get to read it.
It didn't lead to 20 years of war, it was used to sell 20 years of war.
It's a double standard though. Maxine Waters recently told George Floyd demonstrators to "get more confrontational". Pelosi defended her and said it wasn't a call to violence, and Twitter didn't ban her, despite George Floyd protests having a history of devolving into looting/violence. Trump said "And we fight, we fight like hell. If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." and Pelosi said that was incitement of violence and he got banned from the internet.

So... who gets to decide what counts as incitement or not? Apparently whichever party has the largest influence over the mainstream media/social media companies.
Given a call map(a, f) and a loop for _,e := range a { f(e); } both ought to have the same code size. Yes, map(a, f) will need to be inlined, but the for-loop is already inlined.
Thank you, I couldn't remember what they were called. There were stories of 1kW vSMRs which would be placed near a house:

Well this was Miami, many jewelry stores you can’t even walk into but need to be buzzed in and I have seen on more than one occasion people not let in.

This wasn’t one of those stores, but staff was more than accommodating, before purchasing the paper clip he made a rather odd request - he wanted to see the largest diamond in the store, they actually brought it out from the back (it wasn’t even in a display case). Maybe that is something the Uber rich do when they walk into a jewelry store to test service or quality of the merchandise or both.
The market isn't dominated by youth needs. It might seem that way because your selection shrinks over time, but try this model:

Finding good books is a multi-armed bandit problem, and most of us follow intuitively a strategy well suited to that - explore (figure out which levers to pull, or which kinds of writing you care about, by randomly pursuing) and exploit (pick things that you know to be good because you spent time evaluating).

As you age, you're becoming more discerning, because you now know better what's possible, and you know better what suits you. But since the landscape is, for practical purposes, infinite, you also face the hill climbing problem of local maxima. That's why picking new random books in different areas works - it allows you to get "unstuck", and possibly find new maxima.

This also means - sorry - that at some point "well-written history" won't really do it for you any more, either. You'll have explored that landscape enough to become stuck on a local maximum. It will be something like "I really enjoy books about 1600-1800 by these five authors, it's just the best". And then you've read all those, and hopefully something entirely different crosses your path.

Enjoy the ride :)
I tried to use another search engines for a while.
Tried Ectosia, tried Duckduckgo, even gave Bing a chance. Google just gives me better results...
A broad carbon price that starts small but rises gradually over time would be better than passing a hodge podge of half measures. Virtually all economists say this would be more economically efficient (cheaper) and it doesn't create distortions by favoring politically popular projects over less sexy but more effective solutions.

You spend all of your time pushing product and ignoring problems, it becomes easy to lose sight of the fact you crossed a thick line recently.
Off-topic but man, the gov.uk website doesn't cease to amaze.

There's a freaking page with everything laid out, explaining everything you need to know about launching a satellite. Background history, relevant law, documents needed, everything you need to know. It's all there, in a clear, concise, easy-to-follow format.

It's brilliant.
I think the instructors will call out people by name to say they're doing great or "congrats on your 100th ride"

While I find that works well in a private class setting "Great job Brenda! You're really improving!" since hundreds, even thousands of people take Peloton classes, you have a very low chance of acknowledgement and the teacher spends a lot of time reading off "Congrats on the 100 rides spf100! Thanks for coming to my class WineGirl21231! 1000 rides for Luv2RideMan12!"
!r <query> and duckduckgo will forward you to native reddit search. Bangs are incredibly useful when searching for domain specific content (!so, !rust), or searching for opinions/discussion about something (!r, !hn). For general searches, search engines are still king. I find ddg around the same as google minus the ads.
What's puzzling is that based on the CDC hospitalization data, we'd have at best 1~2 thousand children hospitalized if every child in America were to contract SARS-2 (rates show an average 1 out of 100,000 hospitalized for <18yo). Presumably "long covid" is also not even remotely prevalent among children (if this isn't the case, where's the evidence?).

The idea that we should just be deploying vaccines (that have been pushed through an extraordinarily abbreviated regulatory process) ASAP is beyond ridiculous imo.
I haven't watched the Simpsons, but it's really unfortunate that they did that. I suppose the problem with fictional skin colors is people will always assume it represents the racial majority. Similar to how icons are usually coded male in the absence of female signifiers.

I wonder if it's possible to avoid that. What if at the outset, we'd used a different color for every emoji? Smile could be green, frown could be blue, wink could be yellow, etc.
> Surely VC firms have had to look past appearances before.

Given the stats on VC investments in firms led by women, I'm not sure this is a true statement.
> after knowing people at Google who had to sit through HR bullshit like "how to respect your direct reports who sexually identify as Otherkin"

Do you have sources for this, or anonymous blogs? Because I'd be concerned what "like" means here. It's obviously not literally this, otherwise it'd the word 'literal'. But to me, the ambiguity can be read (in bad faith) as "I think LGBTQ identities, broadly, are bullshit, and I shouldn't respect a direct report who identifies as bisexual, it's as ridiculous as someone who is believes they're a wolf sexually".

A little bit of disambiguity would do a long way here, as I genuinely can't tell if this is someone who thinks asexuals, bisexuals, etc. are bullshit not worth respecting (aka, a place of ignorance of the speaker), or if Google is literally saying that unheard-of sexual identities are part of its HR policies (which I've never heard of and would love to know to avoid working at Google in the future.)
In recent years, I've noticed that more and more vendors offer quite lavish "training" events for the tech teams evaluating their products. I'm sometimes still surprised by the type of questionable practices that are common in otherwise highly regulated industries.

There is a terminology problem.

When you say AI, it sounds like you are mostly referring to automated data collection. This has one set of concerns.

AI is also commonly used to mean algorithmic decision making. Again, a different set of concerns. The mechanism behind the decision is not really important, but people have concerns about e.g. fairness of automatically deciding based on a set of factors or on past trends. There are also concerns about the reliability of opaque AI models, because stakeholders dont understand how they work.

There is also AI as sold by consulting firms which is usually just some variation on a BI dashboard, dressed up in modern lingo.

And then I suppose there are some future concerns about actual AGI, that are more about having created some sentient thing, but those are more philosophical at this point.

Normally I don't like getting hung up on terminology, but with AI, there are so many different meanings that it is best to use some other term, especially when we talk about what is regulated. It would be silly e.g. to be perceived as regulating linear regression when you are concerned about data collection.
Agreed - hence small hydro! It takes the energy out of the river systems which very much need to keep that majority in there.
I wonder, were there any countries where ISDN BRI became a "default" service, i.e. where it was normal for it to be installed in every household to the same extent POTS was?
Everything works reasonably well in a relational database if your data is small. As you scale up, the performance will fall off a cliff for any data model that the internals of the database kernel were not specifically designed for. No relational database kernel is optimized for time-series data models, so poor performance is just a matter of scale.

The technology is well understood, what's not understood is how to use less items on the bill of materials and/or less expensive items on the bill of materials, or to remove items from the well-understood technology until it is cheaper to produce, but also fails in new ways.

The push to the bottom impacts every single product/process, doesn't matter if the technology is well understood, there's always another penny to shave off the cost so manufacturer can make more profit.
What you said shows exactly why the point was valid.

This is what happens with nuclear power projects: They can take a dumb design, as you said, and people point out the problems beforehand, as you said, then it is built, as you said, regardless.

It's important that it was still built even though people said, beforehand, that it was, as you say, dumb. This is a key point really. These things are still built regardless of the quality of the design.

And then later, reality and physics have their say.

And all the guarantees and promises are broken, and the costs are way higher than were accounted for.

Of course some designs are better, and that is fantastic. I'm all for safety and predictability. I have other problems with nuclear, having nothing to do with radiation or safety, but I agree that there are much safer designs.

Even though there are better and worse designs, and Fukashima may be a bad design with a bad placement, this lack of full accounting for potential costs is a recurring pattern with these huge boondoggle projects.
There may indeed by a Netflix vs. the exec, but this article is United States vs. the exec. Fraud is a crime. Wire/mail fraud is a federal crime.
Yup - this is what I liked about Nuzzel, especially as political rhetoric in particular continues to get overheated on Twitter. Ultimately I found ignoring Twitter to be even better. I surface more interesting stuff on sites like this one than Twitter. It wasn’t always like that, but Twitter has been moving from being focused on a way to discover ideas to an outrage generating machine in the soulless chase for engagement at all costs for some time now. It’s rather disgusting so I no longer help feed the beast and perpetuate the problem. And I have a lot less stress in my life as well - win win!
The video shows a sequence of events I never would have predicted yet in hindsight seems inevitable: a child holds an inflatable ball to the back of the treadmill, causing the ball to get sucked underneath and boost the back end of the treadmill off the ground, creating clearance for the child to get dragged under as well. I'm surprised there haven't been more injuries as a result of this.

By the way, thanks for mentioning that the child wasn't injured. If I thought I was watching a child being hurt or killed, I don't think I could have watched it, but knowing beforehand that the children were not injured, I found it kind of hilarious.
Google Talk to Books
Well, that's for the one company he got caught accepting bribes for. The article lists at six other companies he was receiving kickbacks from. And the fact that he set up an LLC in his own name demonstrates just how comfortable he was with all of this.

All told, I wouldn't be surprised if he banked tens of millions over his career before getting caught.
"Twitter has spun up an internal team of Nuzzel acolytes whose goal is to take the best of the Nuzzel experience and build it directly into Twitter."
> Go hasn't learned a single thing.

How do you explain the success then?

Go hasn't tried to be all things to everyone. There are lots of things out there that need simple solutions and Go provides for that with and nice middle ground of dev and computer performance.

If I want to read from one computer, write to another computer, concurrently, with low footprint, and speed, it's a great tool.

If Go has learned nothing, are Go programmers just picking something more difficult that performs worse? I've found it has dislodged services that were previously written in Node, Ruby, or a whole J2EE stack. Sure there are people out there trying to make it all things to everyone and it fails in some of those things, but it does great at others.
You can act quite normally when microdosing.

If dosed correctly (it takes time to find it and depends on the person) micro-dosing (usually around 5 - 20 ug per dose) an obvious effect in not as apparent as you might expect.

For me, 5 to 10 is enough. I don‘t actually want to feel the body high when microdosing. Precisely because it should feel like a normal day. Except your perception, creativity and emotional balance is heightened.
Well, any computer ultimately executes a program (a computation, to be more accurate), whether it is hard-wired in the hardware (as in an ASIC) or not. If you create an ASIC to compute 1 + 1 and it outputs 2, but you later find out that you needed an ASIC that computed 1 - 1, I would not call that a hardware problem, because the hardware is doing exactly what it was supposed to do - it's just not useful to you. A hardware problem is one where your 1+1 ASIC is outputting 3 when it gets hot enough, or one where the ASIC is not starting at all.

Another piece of evidence that suggests to me that certain psychiatric conditions originate not in the physical brain itself but more in the "computation" (what I called a software error earlier) is the way people can be trapped into cults or other abusive relationships, where they start exhibiting signs of mental illness without any direct physical changes (that is, no diet changes, no physical violence, no irradiation etc.).

The reason why I consider this distinction is important is that, if I am right, then there must be psychiatric conditions that should be fixable through discussion and improvements in thinking (therapy), and there must also be psychiatric conditions that can't be fixed in this way. We know for sure that the second category exists, as some psychiatric symptoms are the result of tumors in the brain and elsewhere in the body; the first category is slightly less clear, thought therapy is definitely an important part of many treatment regimens, with clinical data backing up its use.

The biggest problem today is that we can't reliably tell, in most cases, which type of disease you may have, and so which approach is appropriate.
Chuckling at the idea that trans identity amounts to "wearing a dress" is not a "reasonable conclusion", it's a hurtful caricature. People care deeply about this stuff. People agonize for years about how to present this to the people they live and work with.

Laughing at them and pretending that they have it easy by "wearing a dress" is absolutely bigoted, sorry.
Orbital Refueling
I think the USA's current opponent are lobbying corporations, not terrorists or domestic insurgence.
I think there's a pretty fundamental difference between "allowing farms to police themselves" and actually prohibiting them from doing voluntary testing for diseases. I would compare it to the difference between eliminating a need for prescriptions and prohibiting people from getting screened for skin cancer on the regular.

Is there a better reason to prohibit voluntary testing than what is included in the article?

I think my statement holds for most small non-tech businesses.

Many of them have companyname@gmail.com business email addresses and while I hope their social media accounts are at least registered from that email account, I wouldn't be surprised if many are linked to a personal account. That is, if they have a dedicated email account for the business at all. Especially with older non-tech-savvy small business owners, there's a chance they just use whatever email address someone made for them.
I found this very persuasive. Would be great to see a counter argument from a virologist.

We generally punish culpable people in more senior positions more severely. Mafia bosses get bigger sentences than low-level street thugs. In the aftermath of WW2, high level Nazis received death sentences.

I don't think "treat everyone on Facebook exactly equally" is a reasonable standard.
I fail to see how "removing energy" from a river system isn't directly destroying a habitat. Things like water surges play an important role in create sand bars and other microhabitats. It's best to leave them alone.
Subsetting, mapping and normalization.

I think about it like running "an SQL query" on the thing I'm comparing and the resulting value structure (made up of maps/lists/numbers/bool/string) is the result set of the query. Then I compare queries.
I love the bike. I ride (or take one of the strength classes, or yoga, or even just stretching) nearly every day, and have for a few months now. Before getting it my workouts were spotty..I'd be strict about working out for a week or two at a time and then fall off for a few weeks, rinse and repeat. I've actually lost close to 20lbs since getting it, though part of that is because I've cut down on drinking a bit.

I feel the social aspect is both the reason why I continue to ride but also really lacking. I have a group chat with friends who also have a Peloton and more often than not there's one or two that want to ride, so it's easy motivation to be like ok I'll jump on too. But also..it's difficult to actually follow friends and their progress as there's no real feed of any sort, just individual pages that you have to jump through a couple of menus to get to.
Ok I will put myself in your hypothetical.

If there was a fire in the cockpit of my cessna, I would try my best to suppress the fire and instruct the other pilot to make a mayday call. Communication becomes a bit higher priority when the situation is that dire where no amount of "aviating" would make much difference.

This is one of those things where we never find out the truth unfortunately.
Why on earth should Facebook get the benefit of the doubt here? They’ve assembled some gaudy resumes, ok. Is there any historical track record for a board like this providing a meaningful check on a monopoly? On a company majority controlled by one person? Give me a break. This is Zuckerberg making a show at self regulation to try and forestall real regulators coming after him. Happy to be proven wrong, but Facebook has not earned trust here.
On iOS, Firefox is just a skin around Safari so I'm not sure how much control they have around things like cookies. App store rules & OS limitations (around JIT compilation) prevent any other browser engine from existing.

Why is the Android Firefox dumbed down even though it can technically be as powerful as the desktop version? Mozilla's stupidity in a failed attempt to copy Chrome.
I never heard it in anger, but yes, it is a joke. Where I am (western washington state) it's used to imply that something works to spec but could have been done a lot better if there was the motivation.
