It's meant to be a currency not a savings account. It's not called cryptosavings - although perhaps it should be. Bitcoin is sort of like digital gold, but totally sucks as a currency or way of transacting.

If it is inflationary like doge you have the incentive to spend it instead of hoard it.

In which country does this happens? Makes no sense to me.
Agreed: disabling 3rd party fonts just makes pages look more native (by using fonts I've whitelisted) and load faster. The only regression is that some pages use icon fonts instead of SVGs. An often-cited justification is the small size of WOFF2 fonts, but the same can be achieved by using static Brotli compression on all assets.

I'm more interested in the pre-agricultural world, and the differences between that time and our own would be significantly greater than comparing to a mere couple hundred years.
My point is that the SAT does not test actual skills (as you apparently agree with) and the "psychometric abilities" that it's supposed to measure are really weak indicators for college preparedness and success.

If the SAT doesn't test actual skills NOR is a good indicator for college preparedness and success. What is it actually good for?

It seems to mainly make life easier for college admissions staff. At an enormous cost! Kids have to waste a bunch of time upping their "psychometric ability score". Parents should spend a bunch of time and money helping their kids improve their "psychometric ability score". Teachers should spend class time teaching to the "psychometric ability score" instead of actual material, because that's what gets kids to the next step.
This is clearly showing how Waymo software is not a full Artificial General Intelligence - something that can reason on its own, like a fully awake, rested human.

Take the moment when the car first gets stuck. It attempts a right turn, spots the cones just fine, and correctly makes the assessment that it can avoid the cones and proceed in the right lane after the turn.

As a human, our thinking process does not stop there. We notice that the traffic already flowing on the street is _not_ using the right hand lane. We notice that the cones are vaguely in a merge pattern to indicate that cars entering from the side street should merge left - if you were looking at the cones from a vantage point behind where the cones are placed, and if you can call the first two cones enough of a "please merge left" pattern.

The Waymo car can't see that, though. It's located sort of off to one side, attempting to reason about it from a high angle. And two cones from this angle could be a lot of things, and it's not 100% clear the cones close off the right lane.

One theory might be that the Waymo model has been trained on a lot of situations but not this specific situation - something about the high angle, something about the position of the cones, something about the route plan managed to find a loophole in the AI training set and produce a weird result.

That's just the limitations of the current state-of-the-art Machine Learning. Find a glaring incorrect answer? Retrain with more training data.

Part of what makes full Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with deductive reasoning can retrain itself without making mistakes along the way, unless something incomprehensible happens. And I use the word "incomprehensible" here to point straight at AGI's ability to _comprehend_ the situation at a much higher level than current machine learning techniques.

tl;dr: The Waymo Car didn't get it. And that's about what I would expect.

The real gem is that the _humans_ in the assistance team were fighting each other. The remote control operator kept jamming the "unstick yourself" button even as the roadside assistance guys were walking up to take over. The real danger, I think, is more of this in the future: the remote operators defeating all the safeties. Since the remote operator is not at any real risk of personal harm, what do they care?
> So Facebook would have to redesign their sharding. Who cares?

Do you believe Facebook is the only company that would ever be affected by this?

Personally I strongly suspect that once the precedent is set -- that is, regulation requiring user data to remain strictly on servers in the user's country and nowhere else -- the entire tech industry would be severely impacted.

> the questions of "what if something has >10ms latency" don't really matter

Internal point lookups for each individual piece of content would go from sub-ms (intra-region) to now being upwards of 200ms (network requests spanning the globe). And for many social applications, a given page contains content from dozens of sources. Much of this could be parallelized, but even then, the total wall time for each parallelized multi-get is determined by whichever source had the worst-case latency. In any case, we're not just talking about tens of ms of impact here, but rather a latency increase of 2 orders of magnitude (or more!) for even the simplest lookup operations.
Facebook originally did compile their PHP to C++ though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HipHop_for_PHP

Only later did they introduce Hack and HHVM, which compiles a PHP dialect in a just in time fashion. My point is that once you reach scale, and your computer bill becomes significant enough, you'll really want to use efficient languages.
Beautiful and useful!
Maybe it's the laziest option.
I don't think anyone disagrees that Elon's forward-looking statements about future autonomous driving capabilities have been consistently egregiously optimistic. But forward-looking statements about future product timelines aren't relevant to what customers believe Autopilot's capabilities are today.

It is strange to claim that the autopilot feature "can't do what he's been selling" by pointing to statements containing qualifiers such as "I think we are less than two years away" and "I think probably by end of next year".
Yea, I love RSS - but how do we get the twitter like (you know, only the good parts) in RSS?
I also advocate for a plant-based diet, but your comment misses something about it mentioned in the article:

> Often, pea, soy and potato crops don’t resemble natural ecosystems — they are vast monocultures that rely on large machinery, intensive processing and global distribution, just like the industrial system that produces meat on a large scale.

So yes, let’s end factory farming, and start with the factory farming of animals. Let’s also not pretend that large-scale monocular farming of plants is a silver bullet.

Regenerative farming is the thing to aim for at the moment. That will reduce both awful conditions for animals and the harm to our ecosystems. It affects animal factory farms to a greater extent. Fighting for a globally plant-based food source can be done in parallel, just don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Once you get down to 30 percent, you have an inner party/outer party situation within the 30 percent itself, in which society (as far as they are concerned) is mostly limited to those two groups, and their interplay. I mean: The 30 percent aren't really aware of the 70 percent, even when their upkeep comes out of every paycheck.

When you add up everyone on social security, disability, government make-work jobs (which includes 95 percent of the military) and the assemblage of programs (section 8, EBT, medicaid) that constitute modern welfare, you are pretty much at 30/70 now. So...to answer your question, why are you accepting the deal as we speak?
The comment was written in a way that seemed to casually comingle the two claims.

Your #2, despite your smug certainty, is wrong as well. Go ahead and name some. I promise none were “unilateral invasions”.
Haha I remember having to test apps, and being completely confused by it in the beginning too. First thing I did was add VoiceOver toggle to Control Center.

Once you get used to it, it's actually kinda amazing. Apple has put so much effort into iOS to make this work well, and there are a ton of features packed into VoiceOver mode.

Most have no idea this even exists, if you're bored you should play around with it a bit more.
Your point is was that “you can’t do anything else with the land” - which is flat wrong. We can allow it to reforest. Which is doing something.

Your claim that the human population cannot survive on a vegetarian diet is also wrong. The article I linked explains why.
Go usage proves my point. It's statically compiled. In fact, Google wanted a language in the same performance class as C++ but that was easier to teach to college graduates. Rust is also such a language. Furthermore, when Uber got started, Rust hasn't even been available.
Well that sucks in this day and age.

Does VO in general not work for non-English?
Citation? If your description of Elon's statement is accurate, if he ever described the contemporaneous shipping Autopilot system as the "equivalent of self-driving L4" then I would change my mind on this matter immediately.
Absolutely, sorry about that.
The modern agriculture just means automating depleting natural aquifers and using up topsoil and abusing chemicals at massive scale. Its the agricultural equivalent of optimizing for next quarter, but losing out on next decade.
I’m surprised it doesn’t just put itself into some kind of sleep mode that only a waymo tech can recover it from. I would not have expected it to suddenly compute after minutes and “try something” let alone yeet itself into the lane with moving traffic. The passenger seemed really chill and unconcerned!

It's interesting you view those as informational because I see them as narrative stories. Also you might think you don't need the time to ponder but you don't know what you've missed by not taking the time the show makers decided to put in there for pause. Also changing the speed changes their voice and therefore some subte things about the delivery. Pure information media is like Strangs Linear Algebra course or some similar MIT OCW mathy course. Would you also consider radiolab something informational that you might speed up?
The key to any diet change is constant observation on changes happening within the body and on one’s behavioral patterns. If one observes that one is binge eating after a fast, my suggestion would be to slow down and ease into it.

For the time restricted feeding (TRF) kind of intermittent fasting, one could start at 14:10 (14 hours fasting and a 10 hour eating window) and build up to 16:8 or beyond. What matters is what works for you. Intermittent fasting may also interfere with social activities like sharing a meal with others during your fasting window. Give yourself a break, enjoy those moments and get back on track.

There is no one single diet that works for everyone or even works for the same person all the time. Micro-adaptations can go a long way in building sustained habits that get ingrained.

I follow something from 16:8 to 18:6. I haven’t seen any weight loss unless I cut down on calories a lot. But I’m comfortable with this eating pattern and feel better in the night when I stopped eating by around 6 in the evening.
I'm skeptical of propaganda which is likely coming from both sides at the moment.

As much as I disapprove of Facebook and their shady business tactics, there's no evidence presented in the article that this should be attributed directly to Facebook. It could be a malicious browser addon or mobile app.

It would be great if Facebook could offer its users a CloudTrail-esque log of their activities, surely they have all this information.

eg. At 12:04pm you liked "Emacs Users" from your iOS device.
This looks easy to use, I starred it to have a look at next year when I think I'll have a need for a rust raft library.
The SoC builder you describe might be the MiSTer project for console hardware emulation. But even then, the number of people who develop verilog for that project is rather tiny.

However, it's the first platform that has gotten me, a long time software developer, to really look into how it works. As in, I've been working through verilog tutorials, etc. and formulating a project to build on it. Compare to when I first bought a Xilinx FPGA dev board some 20 years ago, I found that I had no idea what to do with it, and there were not many resources to learn from compared to today. I don't think it's going to be mainstream soon, but there's definitely been some progress.

It's also worth pointing out that, in a world where the Web is so pervasive, being honest (and, in particular, developing a reputation for being honest) has substantial advantages. Conspiracy theories and general suspicion spread extremely easily these days. If you ask the average American about the CDC today, I guarantee you a lot of them will mention the fact that the CDC initially said masks were unnecessary, and that they have since admitted that they were lying to protect supplies for healthcare workers.

Does that mean that being honest is necessarily always the best thing to do? I'm not sure. It's worth considering. But I suspect that it will take a while for that kind of understanding to make headway in the higher levels of government.

(This goes with the caveat that people and organizations who simply lie all the time can get away with it. Basically, you either have to live firmly in reality, or you have to sell a version of the real world that's been thoroughly modified in order to conform to some vision. Living mostly in reality while occasionally lying is becoming an untenable strategy.)

Also, the number's probably more like hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions when you look internationally.

Many years ago, a family member (USian, suburban, whitebread) was dating the son of a Nigerian diplomat posted in Addis Ababa. She asked him how long a drive it was, and that's how I knew the relationship was doomed.

I just looked it up. Addis Ababa to Lagos is 2400 miles as the crow flies. This presumably auto-generated route planner states nearly 5000 miles driving. On day one on your drive to Lagos, it recommends 9 hours of driving and stopping in Gondar, still 3.5 hours to the Sudanese border. https://www.trippy.com/drive/Addis-Ababa-to-Lagos-Nigeria
Nim not only faster than Go but have a very similar syntax to python. It make more sense for Python developers to use Nim when need more speed instead of Go.

> Kudos to the TIL's author for trailblazing this idea based on TCL. It will be very beneficial and handy for scripting commands and shell like behaviors.

Thanks! I love the concept of "scripting" (that is a bit different from simply a "dynamic language"). I'm quite aware it's just "yet another programming language" but if I can dream of something is that it serves as some kind of incentive for people to develop more libraries in D.

I mean, if you just want to create a Til module that allows you to serve some Web pages using HTTP/2, it shouldn't be that difficult and, at the same time, it could be the end goal itself: just creating a useful module, not something like "it's a crucial part, besides other five, of this big project X I'm working on" (I believe this kind of situation almost always ends with "nah, I'll just use <mainstream language> instead").

> Just wondering is this type based TCL like language similar to Little?

No, it's not. I first heard about Little a couple months ago and it's a very interesting project. But I don't plan, right now, to include any kind of builtin Tcl compatibility layer in Til (although users are free to create its own implementations, of course).

> [2] Will it eventually support compilation similar to Emacs Lisp? [3]

I created the language much more as a tool to learn how to create languages than anything else, but now it's kind of mature enough, I'll confess my dream is to implement JIT compilation, following the steps of LuaJIT (that is an AWESOME project IMHO).

> Personally I'd love to have superset language in D for data science.

That would be nice. Having a autowrap-like way of exposing D code to Til would be even nicer. (https://github.com/atilaneves/autowrap)

> It should be also easily embeddable and support prototyping like Lua.

I believe embedding it is already in a very tolerable state. If you look into the "interpreter" code you'll see it is only 82 lines (actual 69 LOC).

(https://github.com/til-lang/til/blob/master/interpreter/sour...)

And it has a lot of debugging code. Loading a string, parsing it as a "SubProgram" and running it is kind of trivial.

Now, about the prototyping part, I never thought about it, actually...

> On top of that it should have excellent support for array, ndarray and dataframe like R [4].

It's very easy to create new types in Til and they support both "operate" (to apply, you know, operators, like +, -, /, etc) and "extract (to index things or extract information in general from values). I believe it wouldn't be difficult to create a nice module for using these things.

> Since it is based on D, then it can fulfill the requirements for both type A and B data scientists [5].

Maybe. But, I don't know... isn't data scientists all over the world happy and satisfied with Python, already?
Sorry! I misread your comments as indicating that you're the author. Fixed now. Thank for letting us know.
I completely agree! It's well established that the impact of (B) is substantial, I just wanted to make the (somewhat tangential) point that wealthier students' empirical advantage at standardized tests is mostly not due to test prep, contrary to popular belief and to the GP comment's example.
The dismissive comments here are confusing to me. Of course this is a valuable thing to study, because without it we won't know if there are factors about our modern industrial society that could be altered to increase our lifespans even more. Or is 80 years just "good enough" and people don't want to live to 160? Also if we find that cancer was less prevalent before, that's a useful data point for how much cancer can be avoided in a hypothetical ideal situation that we should perhaps shoot for.

I think the problem with that line of thinking is that even after fully transitioning, trans people still tend to have strong biological markers of the sex they've transitioned from.

For a ML model to correctly guess gender identity, it'd need other cues that indicate a person would prefer to be referred to by a certain pronoun, such as clothing or facial hair.

It won’t happen without a significant cultural shift either. There seem to have been a number of institutions that have attempted to make education affordable and they all fail for various reasons. One being that at the end of the day a college degree is the only sort of credential considered respectable and even those can be worthless depending on a number of factors.
