There are 2 layers of relay devices in between. And the only one with direct internet access is a device you already have on the internet and is developed by the top brains and maintained for many years to come unlike your average smart bulb directly hooked to the internet with minimal security.

If you buy the dumb remote, you get a useful smart light setup with no internet or even local network connectivity. Its useful because you can turn a room full of lamps on at once or adjust their color.
There are a few, but what about sexualization of teenagers and children. Do you think it's uncommon?

You don't need to wager, just look at the amount of content available for a kink and you can establish demand.
I agree.

However I just wanted to say that a good driver can still avoid crashes even if not 'at fault' by driving defensively.

A friend of mine is a bad driver (in my opinion) but has never had an at fault accident. They have however had plenty of not-at-fault accidents but we're probably somewhat to blame or could have avoided if being more careful.
I think that the goal of the project is not "Doom running on a 40-Cortex M4" (actually an 80 M33...), which is pretty easy I guess, but "Doom running with only 108 kB of RAM", while keeping all the features (which is pretty hard, I guess). I recall that I had to bend over backwards to get it running on my 386 with only 4MB RAM.

As I’ve understood it, this notion is a fallacy.

Some drivers are “better than others” but there are no “good drivers”.

Everyone gets tired, everyone’s gets older, everyone gets distracted, everyone drives in a new location (potentially with a different driving style).

I don’t know when it tips to be better off with the computer, but I’ll feel comfortable as soon as the crash/fatalities rates are equal or better than Uber/Lyft.
Yes, you would still need to the NVIDIA kernel driver (preferably the most current one). Desktop users typically have it already installed. But the main difficulty in my opinion is to install CUDA (with CuDNN,...). Even the TensorFlow documentation [0] is outdated in this regards as it covers only Ubuntu 18.04.
The installation process of CUDA.jl is really quite good and reliable. Per default it downloads it own version of CUDA and CuDNN, or you can use a system-wide CUDA installation by setting some environment variables [1].

During this past year, I’ve been inhaling books like nobody’s business and, in particular, re-discovering my love of science fiction.

Anathem was by far my favorite discovery of the whole year in any genre, highly highly recommended. (I much preferred it to Cryptonomicon actually.) I found it beautiful and deep and entertaining on every level.
Chromebooks frequently go on crazy sales - bought my 8Gb/i5 Acer Spin 713 for less than $500. As work machine it’s perfect for me and is also disposable if something were to happen to it.

Linux support rounds out what I need, though it’s not perfect for GUI tools.
As an Aussie schoolkid I remember learning about the ANZAC retreat from the trenches in Gallipoli after hacking together a way to fire their rifles using dripping water, and I always thought that was pretty neat:

"Invented by Lance-Corporal William Scurry, 7th Battalion, AIF, these ‘drip’ or ‘pop off’ rifles fired at intervals to convince the Ottomans that the Anzacs still occupied their trenches.

The drip rifle incorporated two ration tins. The top one was filled with water, while the empty bottom one was attached to the trigger by a piece of string or wire. Before leaving, a soldier punched a small hole in the upper tin to allow water to trickle into the lower one, which eventually toppled over, pulling the trigger.”

Oh, I’m not afraid to say I hate teleconferencing.

And I assure you I wasn’t imagining the average of 3-4 hours of online meetings every single day that was compressed to 1-2 days every 2 weeks once we started meeting in the office again.
I second this.

I’ve had a few PRs in the past which have just been tweeting grammatical errors or minor reworking to make sentences flow better and they’ve been fabulous.

Proof readers are a real, paid, profession. And if someone is spending their time enhancing my project by correcting any faults with the documentation then I welcome that just as much as source code submissions (and the README is often the most important document in all of your documentation).

PoS is absolutely driven by rich and helps rich get richer faster than everybody else. If I get 10% stake - I get 10% of any future issuance, meaning my stake can never go below 10%, so my power in the system never dilutes even though I literally don’t have to do anything anymore. Miners in PoW have to participate in mining and their power can get diluted by anyone by simply getting more hardware online.

PoS doesn’t work.

I have found that the best engineers gain the ear of senior management (generally far above their manager) and can push through their radical ideas from above. You really have to also be able to do the work and show that it is going to work. Thinking and acting strategically or as I like to put it "act as founder".
I wrote my master thesis some time ago on a Samsung Chromebook equipped with an ARM CPU. Back then it was the perfect machine for me: fanless / silent, cheap and it ran Linux and i3wm after 10 minutes of setup. Even the keyboard was ok. Had no problems with Latex, just some minor hiccups with software not compiled for ARM that should be resolved by now.

> Levels 3-5 are considered Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) in which the driver does not need to pay attention to the road.

I'm going to say that's patently wrong.

as the article points out at level 3, the control system is likely to drop out and punt hard decisions over to the driver at any time. This is exceptionally dangerous because there is almost never enough time to react properly (unless the driver was actively paying attention)

at level 3 you really still need to pay attention.
The bottom of the page is a bit misleading. Having AWS logo while it's not an AWS product, followed by a tweet-testimonial (not marked as that) from a person working at AWS (marked as that).

Although not listed on the pages, it also supports 'destroy' command to unpublish, which is good. Otherwise fees from these small deployment can accumulate.
Well, I don't know how this works in the US, but in germany when you are self-employed, but basically only work for one company - it would be declared a fake selfemployed situation, with lots of legal and tax complications, basically forcing the company to employ you regulary.

(to counter companies pushing their workers to be self employed, to avoid taxes, healthcare costs, etc. But I am not convinced if the result is beneficial to the workers)
Hello,

I went to your website, and noticed you don't list those certifications and bigger projects there. You should also tell there what kind job you are looking for, otherwise I doubt anyone is going to click on "wants to hire me", since it's pretty hard to guess what you want to do.

Anyway, good luck for the job hunting!

Liberation in Advaita Vedanta is attaining the realization that one's individual self is identical with Brahman, posited as Higher Self. This is diametrically at odds with the anatta (not-self) doctrine of the Buddha. There is simply no common ground here - I am sorry, but you are washing away key doctrinal differences with a sweep. When Adi Sankara himself condemned Buddhadhamma as incomprehensible heresy, and yet you claim that Advaita Vedanta is the same as Buddhadhamma - I doubt that there can be any further discussion.

It is troubling to see how the current wave of jingoism coupled with religious fervor is trying to reduce the Buddha to a mere pawn in an imaginary, all-encompassing Hindu pantheon. Maybe you are not deliberately trying to do this, but the muddled and confused efforts of numerous foot-soldiers expose the sad trend all the same.
Really? For what reason did you have to install a newer Python, a newer C++ compiler, or a newer Java runtime?

Of course not. A Debian release is meant to not change – except for security fixes – for the duration of its 2 year cycle. That's a feature, not a bug.

> profit margin is the same in both cases

Profit margins would actually be bigger in the case of more profiling. Absent profiling, insurers open themselves up to much more negative selection (e.g. old people being more likely to purchase cheap health insurance that's subsidised by the young), which has the effect of increasing premiums for the customer, decreasing margins for the insurer and chasing away the customers that are the least likely to need to make a claim.

Manhattan is definitely awesome, a missed goal for me. In the 90s I lived across the river in NJ and spent all my free time in Manhattan. Wanted to move there so bad it hurt, but was never able to find anything I could make work, too expensive.

Eventually gave up on that and moved to Silicon Valley. So much cheaper here and mostly forgot about Manhattan. Visited again for the first time just before the pandemic for a conference and suddenly realized how much I missed it. But the compromises are too brutal. Endless threads here about the cost of living in SV but at least renting a house with FANG salary is possible. Comparable living in Manhattan is impossible unless you're Bezos. If I ever win 100M++ in a powerball I'll move to Manhattan, but that will never happen.

I was a pretty crap driver before I was 23 (regardless of what I would have said then), but I'm not too bad now. Although, it depends on what you measure, I suppose; I've driven behind a Waymo vehicle, and they stay in the lines a lot more than me (which could be a positive for following rules, or a negative for increased drive times), but I also didn't ever change lanes into a bus expecting it would move, and I can avoid some of the annoying driving behaviors I used to see with Waymo (signal a lane change, decide not to do it, loop); not sure where they're at with that since I no longer live in their test areas.
Many thanks for this. Yes, a fuller article would make mention of 'crasis' - where two successive words are melded into one utterance - which inevitably affected pitch and accentuation. As to breathings, their affect on pitch (as opposed to pronunciation) was null: the rough was a mere aspirate, and the 'smooth' was in effect the absence of any aspirate. Latin, as a fellow Indo-European language, had inherited initial aspirates, although these were fewer in number than in Greek, where rho and upsilon always had initial aspiration, and where Indo-European s- had become an aspirate (compare Lat. serpo with Gk herpo, or Lat. sal with your Greek hals.)

I don't think I would say that. Such an AI wouldn't need to pass a Turing test or be able to reason in any other situation than traffic. And for traffic, it will have a highly specialized sensory system which is going to be (or already is) vastly better than our eyes and ears.
Really interesting findings. There seems to be a lot of good health benefits from omega 3 and fish oil in general[1]. There is currently an interesting study underway in Norway with 70.000 participants to see if fish oil has an effect on covid-19[2], English translation is towards the bottom of the page. The study is partially funded by a producer of the fish oil, but the study is interesting to me nonetheless.

Yeah, agreed, the same goes for "dichronauts". Sci fi so hard it cuts diamonds.

I read almost everything Egan published. While I love his work dearly, I've had very poor success with introducing people to his "alternative physics" stories (where he takes some law, flips a sign somewhere and rolls with the consequences [])... it's TOO hard. Not everyone likes a sci fi book that requires readers to follow along with pen and paper. So I always first recommend Permutation City, or maybe the short story collections such as "axiomatic"...

This is just rent seeking. I don't see how this is beneficial to the stated goals? All it does is tax the small guy who can't join the private sale. Crypto marketing and practice are at odds. It just doesn't sit right with me. No one seems to be able to explain why any of this is necessary from a practical/logistical perspective.
I don't understand. You could just cross compile LLVM onto a new platform from another host arch. You don't need to have a very long sequence of bootstrap builds, just directly jump.

I have my doubts about V2V and I2V communications. They'd simplify the task for automated systems, but come with a rat tail of problems.

I2V is incredibly hard to scale, and is a duplicated implementation of a pre-existing system (road markings & signs). Any system with duplicated implementations will grow inconsistencies. In those situations, the automated driver will be driving based on a differently perceived environment than the human driver - and it'll be hard to know. The automated system would also need to read lane markings & signs to recognize these inconsistencies and act accordingly, at which point the I2V communication is just a crutch to help the automated vehicle, reducing it's utility and hence the cost-value ratio (which is already insanely high).

V2V communication is unreliable by the fact that older vehicles won't support it, so automated vehicles won't be able to communicate with some (initially: most) cars. They'll need to be able to drive safely without communicating with nearby vehicles, so V2V is again just a "bonus" system a vehicle must not rely on.

Automated drivers will be safer than human drivers with time. It's an incredibly hard problem to solve, but it will be solved. Technology is improving continuously, and different companies are trying different approaches to solve the problem - which makes me optimistic in terms of automated drivers. Becoming safer than human drivers is mostly a matter of being able to drive with an automated system based on infrastructure optimized for humans. Sources of accidents will shift: From driver impairment, distraction and ignorance of rules, to misinterpretation of the environment. Additionally, and I think this is the key: If an accident happens, at best the involved human drivers improve their reaction to the specific situation. Automated drivers can share this new knowledge across the entire fleet.

You know what, you're right: I was looking at the VIRTual memory allocated instead of the RESident memory column in htop. RES says only 8.8GB.

Of course it's well known that linux pretty aggressively allocates virtual memory to processes so it's not surprising that the other one is so high (I have 32GB RAM and just as much swap).
my guess it since they do geodns load balancing, this is used to collect data for their DNS.
