It is a naked-eye observatory built in the cinder cone of a volcano. A place very far from light pollution where you can stand in a comfortable place and look up to behold the heavens. James Turell's pieces are all about the feeling of being in an "other" sort of plane, so you can expect a lot of trippy rooms inside the facility that will make you question what it means to exist. Or that's what happened to me inside of one of his pieces, anyway.
I'm with you. My coworkers have become less real to me over time. A couple of times I have caught normal disagreements with people I used to personally like, turning into "someone is wrong on the internet" [0]. I'm trying to be vigilant about still behaving as if there were a real relationship there, but emotionally there really isn't.

I understand that some people prefer the arms-length / just-the-facts-ma'am working style but it's not for me. And I used to think I was a hardcore introvert!

See it from Valve's perspective.

They've had pre-launch source codes leaked by hackers, gameplay ruined by hackers; they probably don't like hackers.

I wouldn't be surprised if they signed up purely out of spite to tarpit and frustrate hackers.
> Stories like this drive home the point: you can’t train your machine learning for every eventuality.

Overturned truck or stationary emergency vehicle should be pretty high on the list; trees maybe a bit lower. But the sensor package doesn't do those well, so in the interest of comfort, stationary objects are filtered out before avoidance algorithms are run.
It just alluded to an internet strictly divided between "verified" single users (persons, regardless if per service) and everyone else (assumed as malicious by default) as a total and unavoidable path.

I think the nature of the internet necessitates temporary, limited gatekeepers like CloudFlare, but as long as the legal status and technology keeps maintaining moving targets (like how you can fake your way out with a dedicated ip vpn, or just remain within tor network) this isn't too much of an issue. Anonimity+trust will never be a fully solved problem, and as long as a comfortable level is achievable between willing parties, the status quo remains.
Yeah same as you. There's some projects working on Python <-> Rust interconnects. I'm personally following that instead of Rust as a whole.
I’m ready for us all to standardize on the DATEINT format.
Why? Did they not get consent? Getting that sort of information isn't terribly difficult. Even basic network monitoring and log parsing would provide a lot of insights into how someone is interacting with a computer.
Jira is so horrid that I actually might turn down a job offer from a company that used it.
Yes. You should know one layer of abstraction below the one you are using. Always. Because everything leaks, and eventually you have to fix it.
MM/DD/YYYY is clearly worse. Not only is it only used in a tiny number of places, making it more likely to cause confusion, but it doesn’t go consistently from smaller unit to bigger unit or vice-versa.

YYYY-MM-DD is ideal, of course, due to easy sorting and no ambiguity over the order of MM and DD, but I’d take DD/MM/YYYY over MM/DD/YYYY any day.
Maybe I share to gain a sense of belonging? And/Or out of a sense that by sharing personal details I might help someone? That sounds and feels like self-importance. I took a multi-year break from contributing online, and HN is a venture back into it, in part thanks to the moderation here and the emphasis on curiosity, which is at odds with my impulse to chime in with my lived experience and perspective-thus-far. What are some other reasons people share so publicly?
If replacing plasma with saline works, shouldn't that occur naturally with bloodletting? Maybe there was something to the practice of leeching.
> Also, can we all agree "DD/MM/YYYY" is the worst possible date format?

No, we cannot. Both DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY/MM/DD are consistent and usable (the latter preferred by developers because of its natural sortability).

The one format we can all agree is the worst possible is MM/DD/YYYY.
Aussie leaders never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
I totally get it.

Also, don’t feel bad about what the remote-work zealots have to say in this thread (or anywhere for that matter). This forum is full of them I’ve learnt over the course of this pandemic.

Saying “I don’t prefer or like remote work but I totally empathise with why others do or might do” isn’t enough for them. Nothing less than “Remote work! Hallelujah!” works for them.

Works as (4), does what I intended.

It takes discipline to learn to write C++ in the modern way. It is work to keep up with improvements in the language and library, as new Standards are published. But many, many professionals do. C++ is not a toy. It has sharp edges that must be treated with respect. But if you do make the effort to keep up, and lean hard on the type system to help everywhere it can, the language delivers.

If your code feels rickety, it is. You have at hand the tools to fix that. If you find yourself coding races, it is because you have not adopted means to prevent them.

I can testify that coding in modern C++ can be pure fun. I never have occasion to worry about memory safety, or data races. Code not working the way (I thought) I wanted, on first run, is very much the exception.
Instead of implementing the obvious intention of the spec and waiting to see if anyone complains?
Thank you for this very nice response, that does sound more interesting!

I’ve never heard of this idea of granting Taiwan statehood. Is this actually a concept which has been seriously considered by public officials, ever?
Right; the folly is folks who say "place X has awful politics and stupid people and place Y is much better".

No, place X has the same people with the same human impulses as place Y. They simply have different circumstances and different experiences at different times.
Look into Thomas Seyfried's work, e.g. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2020.00021... and his book "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease".
> Ironically, right now by being more business friendly more people want to move to places like Arizona or Texas for jobs.

This isn’t “ironically”, this is literally the primary argument in favor of this policy angle.
That's a good point.

It depends on whether the company's production function really is just 3x the cost of each employee.

Clearly, on average, it has to be a high multiple, but on the margin it probably does drop to 1x.

I concede that the argument for sublinear would have to be something about overhead or n-choose-2 communication costs.
After the firetruck incident[0], semi across the road incident[1], and road separator incident[2] this isn't unreasonable to claim.

What is odd is that modern Tesla (3, Y) vehicles have a better sensor suite than most other vehicles, and yet its AEB (Automatic Emergency Breaking) in isolation is seemingly worse than some other modern vehicles.

I can tell you for a fact that Subaru's relatively primitive Eye Sight system based on two optical cameras in parallax (like the human eye, thus the name) will "see" the depth ahead and brake accordingly, it doesn't get confused by a bridges/road signs and reflective stationary vehicles. I've seen it do so frequently.

A Tesla has significantly more sensors and more processing power but these problems continue. Everyone always gets distracted talking about Autopilot this and Autopilot that, but let's not, let's talk only about AEB and why Tesla is somehow both the best at advanced automatic driving and also somehow has uncompetitive AEB?

Maybe it is time to take AEB out of Autopilot and make it its own system that is simpler but can also react to potential Autopilot errors? Or buy AEB off the shelf and put it side-by-side with Autopilot?

"Process crimes" is the refrain of the denier. The process crimes in question involved obstructing the investigation that could have uncovered more evidence. That is tantamount to full guilt. We know for a fact that Roger Stone worked with the campaign and Guccifer 2.0 and WikiLeaks. He refused to cooperate and waited for his pardon. Manafort was reporting to his Russian handler while he was campaign manager. Trump Jr met with Russian agents about emails at Trump Tower.

There was plenty of legitimate crime going on but the standard for a president shouldn't be conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. His open encouragement of Russian hacking even under the guise of "sarcasm" was grotesquely inappropriate. His refusal to confront Russia was shameful. His continued conspiring with his agents in Ukraine were plain as day and showed his willingness to break any rules he could to meet his ends.

Trump, who won his campaign on ludicrous conspiracy theories spent his final days in office fomenting insurrection and suing relentlessly to overturn the election based on lies. His crimes done in broad daylight are 1000x worse than the ones we can't thoroughly prove.
I had a biochem professor in college who talked extremely slowly, like we are talking 2x speed just to approach normal talking (and her lectures were all online). I usually listen to stuff at 2x or greater depending on the content.
I suspect we will never see additional states added to the USA. It’s a very politically divisive topic.

I could see Taiwan becoming a US territory, but I doubt as a nation they would really like that.

Either of these options woii I led probably be viewed by China as an act of war...
It's not hopeless for the EU—many of the necessary machines for any reasonably recent chip fab come from European companies, e.g. ASML.
My sister once decided to look up if a particularly lousy co-worker had an arrest record. Turns out he was arrested on charges of domestic battery, but not convicted. Which is why he's been around her workplace so long, it's a big red flag for a hiring manager so he isn't getting a job anyplace else. Now he probably deserved to be arrested, but there's always the chance that he really is innocent, in which case the US justice system has failed him.
For background transfers reducing processing time can also maximize sleep/low power mode, too (Doze is one of them on Android but I think there's some other low power states)

There's some interesting (imo) research about optimizing cpu governors on Android that details some of the tradeoffs (like running high power on a single core might be better in some cases than longer at low power if the core can be hotplugged/disabled sooner)
Right, I'm just thinking that long-term military intervention to prevent capture/annexation of Taiwan is completely impossible, but short-term intervention meant to extract as many Taiwanese as possible prior to inevitable capitulation is very much an option.
Having started and operated small businesses in California, North Carolina, and Texas, my experience was that California was by far more onerous and expensive than the other two (which were about the same).
Its unnecessary complexity for the paradigm we are talking about, that is user facing, mostly UI applications.

Its necessary for system programming, and as we can see people talk about it whenever C++, C, OSes, Browsers, Games, etc.. are being talked about because it works really well in those domains.

But when you are building a UI, C#, Kotlin, Swift, Typescript and even Java are much more productive with good speed, safe (even safer than Rust), and with language constructions that map really well to this domain.

Rust achieved a very good set of features, but unfortunately the price is its complexity, which is a burden you don't need to take when you are creating UI's.

Sure you and i (im mostly a C++ dev) can use it to make UI's, but unless you are creating something really complex that needs every drop of performance and memory, like big Games or a Photoshop, you don't need this productivity and HR tax(its much harder to find people in C++ and Rust) that languages like Rust and C++ ask of you.

There's no such a thing as one language to rule them all, and Rust will not the best candidate for domains it was not designed for. Swift for instance is much better at this and with a very good performance, where it would also be a good fit for a Photoshop clone or a browser.
No it isn't. Enoch and Elijah never died.

I think the problem is that Tesla went all-in on optical sensors and relied on software instead of something "simple" like sticking a lidar on the front of the car.

I am assuming a simple modern lidar and software package with a field of view limited to "What can the car hit if it keeps going straight" and connected to the AEB would be a pretty fool-proof way of stopping this but that might be too much cost for too limited an application.

It requires loading a JS library and that does dock them points for performance. So yes sites are penalized for it.
Herd immunity doesn't mean zero cases. Covid-19 won't be eradicated. Believing some vaccination threshold exists that will prevent a future mutation seems foolish.
Like I said, if the ownership is centralized then what are you "decentralizing" exactly?

The point is there are no benefits. At best you changed how the paperwork is stored, which is a non-issue.

WebAuthn isn't "letting Big Tech track you" which is why, as Cloudflare explains, they would need to store the ID in a cookie to remember what it is.

You might be thinking "Duh, they can ask the Security Key". Nope, the Security Key hasn't the faintest idea, remembering that ID is the Relying Party's job, the Security Key isn't going to remember.
> I'm just thinking that long-term military intervention to prevent capture/annexation of Taiwan is completely impossible.

You mean by China? I would certainly agree. Even with most countries not acknowledging Taiwan nationhood I would expect a strong international reaction to any military action by China due to Taiwan's special place in international technology exports.
Which shot did you get? The different vaccines also use different adjuvants (or even none in case of BionTech), so maybe that also plays a role.
Hmm, say he doubles down on his last tweet and sues Apple for defamation. Would Apple’s plans for its ad network expansion be made publicly available through discovery?

Facebook has every incentive now to highlight anti-competitive behavior. Maybe it would it be worth helping an old pal out with the his lawyer fees?

Could this be used to find beacons in shopping centers that track Bluetooth devices?
I had the opposite experience. Within an hour of using the app it had already profiled that I'm interested in woodworking, military, comedy, and anything with a solid story. I very rarely dislike a video unless I don't want to see that specific creator anymore. It profiles me based on likes (not something I do a lot), subscribes (once a creator has shown up 2-3 times with solid content I usually subscribe), and view duration. I am very quick to swipe to the next video if it's some dancing or other thing I'm not interested in.

Reels on the other hand, all it shows me is twerking and people getting hurt. Complete turn off compared to how well TikTok tuned in to my preferences.
Sounds like a good reason for UIB....
Now that more and more countries are getting into space exploration, I wonder how long it will be before commercial companies start developing and selling space probe platforms (just like launch platforms now).
As someone who doesn't use Tiktok, how can Tiktok guarantee at least hundreds of views for all videos on their platform?

How do they entice users to click on these videos hundreds of times?

We can't even get DC statehood which is very popular, DC residents want it hugely. Republicans block it. I would go for PR too, maybe a tradeoff since it's not reliably blue like you might imagine - or at least the 'blue' most people think of Dem.
Unlikely. The Constitution contains no exceptions for defamation.
The USA is also willing to defend Taiwan and currently the US has carrier groups in the south China sea. This suggests that the idea of building chips in the US may be a diplomatic courtesy and arguably an incentive.
Space missions like to set easier to accomplish goals. Anything after that is viewed as a bonus. US space program did the same with the recent Mars mission.
The entire purpose of business regulation is to protect the people.

People choosing to give up this protection is the irony.

For example. Tobacco kills people. Government looks out for the interests of the people and regulates Big Tobacco. So Big Tobacco moves to a place where it is unregulated and free to distribute tobacco even to minors. People "IRONICALLY" against their own self interest follow the company because of jobs and money.

The above is just an example made really obvious. For semiconductors it's not so obvious. What exactly is the harm? It's not so evident, you need to do research to find out.
That’s already the case. You can file a foia request.
The day this is even seriously proposed, China invades Taiwan.

And anyway, the vast majority of Americans wouldn't see and attack of a Taiwanese US state as a Pearl Harbor because its non sensical. Taiwan has 100 million people. Theres no way that population transfers to create the bonds necessary to make Taiwan “American” could occur. Hawaii had been a US colony for 50 years and mainland Americans had moved in displacing the natives. What is nationhood for you? How is Taiwan in any way American? They have little in common with us, yet you would make them the largest US state?

Taiwan is Chinese. Their family bonds are deep, and they share a common language and culture. The ancestor shrines for most Taiwanese (being refugees from the mainland) are in China.

Itd be much better to recognize Taipei as China and Beijing as a de-facto, yet criminal, ruler like we did before Nixon.

Either way, Taipei is perfectly capable of defending itself. Allied with Korea and a re-militarized Japan, they’d be the most fearsome military power in the world.
I don't think this framing is useful at all.

People want to work a job and keep as much of the income as possible. They want to found businesses and make money.

They also don't want poison in their water supply, or any of the numerous externalities which industry is in the habit of creating.

Texas and California strike a very different balance in that landscape. The net result of which is that people are leaving California, and people are moving to Texas.

Characterizing that as "California favors people and Texas favors business" is kinda weird, don't you think? Looks like Texas favors both, right at the moment.
For the videos you really don't like you can indicate you dislike the category
This is not an actual consideration in Taiwan -- the three options are "independence", "becoming a part of China" and "status quo". I think the mentioned preference for joining the US is more likely to come from a question like: "If Taiwan had to join a country, would you rather become a part of China or a part of the US?"
No web UI component framework has matched the usability of VB.

This. Self-driving risk is likely already comparable, if not significantly better, than human-driving risk, but even if it isn't, why would insurance companies care? They're the bookmakers, they don't really care which horse wins as long as they can reasonably accurately predict the odds. At worst insurance for cars with self-driving features becomes expensive.

The one thing I could see insurances worry about is correlated risk. Imagine if an accidental push installs a bad development version of the autopilot on all cars instead of the 2 test vehicles with extra sensors, causing a much higher crash rate. Add a broken auto-update mechanism preventing a rollback, and it could take a day to mitigate and a week to fully stop the crashes, and during that time a lot of cars could crash. As long as it's no worse than the crashes resulting from e.g. a day with severe weather, it'll probably be fine, but if it significantly exceeds that, insuring self-driving cars could become too unpredictable, and thus too risky for insurance companies.
Spirit and Opportunity both had 90-day official mission lengths as well and look how long they lasted. I think this is a simple case of underpromise and overdeliver.
How dare you accuse me of "concern trolling". As if that was even a thing. The suggestion was completely irrational, unscientific, and not based on an interest in safety.
> The problem being that there is no definition of “modern” C++

When people say this, they almost always mean making heavy use of C++11 (and later) features, defaulting to `unique_ptr` (or `shared_ptr` if it absolutely needs to be passed around), etc.

Also there's a sizeable minority of people who also mean staying on the stack whenever possible. Which, don't get me wrong, is a good thing, but that's been a thing going all the way back to C. I chalk that particular one up to those people having to debug C++ code written by java devs.
Those types try this with big entities too. It’s pretty amusing to watch the attorneys kill each other.
It was an attack on infrastructure. Motives don't matter. This is no different than physically breaking the pipeline and saying you were just testing the material strength, it's the same outcome and will have similar consequences.
