The (back of the napkin) metric I'm using is: Integrate the total uptime of each Starlink customer, for every customer. Divide that by the integral of time billed for each customers.

So if you have 10,000 users billed for 1 month, and 10 of them get thermally throttled for half a day, every day that whole month, that's 99.95% reliability this month.
Yes, and when the cathode heater burns out, they stop conducting, as they depend on the thermionic emission of electrons (and the absense of gases).
In many cases patients receive relatively strong pain relief drugs after surgeries, such as opioids. Are you sure the recommendation you mentioned is not due to that rather than anesthesia?

What if the feeling of change is an illusion? Many people after doing shrooms think they felt unity with all life, but I am yet to see where that experience would let them better interact with fellow humans.
So the US doesn’t need to worry about its physical integrity or waste huge sums on a military race with its neighbors. It’s safe, and that’s more than most countries can say.

USA spends more on military than next ten nations (most of whom are its "allies") put together. In the last year of Trump, the increase in spending was greater than the total of its "great rival" Russia. Pentagon claims to have no idea where the money goes, and is proud to be unauditable. There must be some details that this geographic technique misses...

This reads like a 'just so' story to me.

Do people in America with one or two children really not have more because they think this is maximizing the expected number of grandchildren? This doesn't seem realistic to me. I think in American even the working poor commonly have children (often more than the wealthy).

Cats don't meow, but they do hiss and yowl at each other. They also nose/face bump. And make specific noises in heat.

When our current cat was in heat before being spayed I recorded the sound on my phone and played it back to her. She looked very confused. Maybe I should try it on other cats to see what happens.

She's also fascinated by one particular jingly wind chime ring tone and will follow it around until she gets bored.

Yup.

People complained about the cost of getting an expert to cough up secrets about their thought process in the 1970s.

The essential problem is not different in magnitude with ML because you need to design the classification to be solvable and then get the right answers for many hard cases.

From an academic perspective ML is advantaged in that multiple people can train algos on the same data, which leads to a certain kind of progress through competition.

When it comes to most projects where you need the model you have to supply your own training set. Sometimes there is a download or a weird trick, but that conversation that ‘we can’t afford you to make the training set’ leads to bad outcomes:

* you never get a training set
* you download the wrong data from Kaggle
* you get an unusable training set
* you wind up spending more time of expensive people herding inexpensive people, when….

one ‘expensive’ person who could get over the stigma of doing
what they think is menial, be 4x as productive as an imagined ‘cheap’ person and then the team can move on to other tasks
that are necessary and unglamorous.

The team can still win the game by default in 2021 because your competitor thinks it is too good to do those things.
It is such an obvious development, if not to replace so to complement. But perhaps there are challenges around it that are not obvious?

You might be surprised how scant and expensive bandwidth becomes once you are out of sight of land
> I don't think the world has a need for faster c code. But is in dire need for less broken software. This is trying to do the opposite.

And that's ok. There are tools for that at the reach of those who place a premium on those requirements.

For those who favour interoperability, simpler mental models, efficiency, and more importantly a tool with a proved track record, there's C.

And there are plenty of reasons why C is the de facto standard in spite of all alternatives.

I don't know what kind of proof you want, but I just looked at my phone settings after reading your comment. The exposure notification option is there and it's off. The region selection is grayed out because of it. Yet I got the app (uninstalled it after I saw this on hacker news).

I did get a notification when it got installed but I thought it was just a push similar to amber alerts. I didn't realize it installed something at the time.

Still, exposure notification was never turned on.
A reasonable argument for stoners lighting up in the supermarket carpark.

Not so for someone flying several tons of metal that will absolutely fuck up the lives of many people if they aren't paying full attention.
Imho the python steering committee is too weak in taking action in the direction of improving the whole ecosystem.

It's actually great it's happened. It showed everybody that the government can install whatever they want on your phone without your consent and knowledge.

So I presumed you were saying "Unity is as bad as Unreal in these regards."
Cats can hear up to 64k. Recording at 8k is like bad phone quality for a human.
I tried win 10 recently on older hardware with 2gb ram. Long story short: totally unusable. Turned on Win 8.1 on machine with 2gb ram. That was pretty usable and almost pleasant by comparison. I used to think that distro was a stinky turd. The UI in 8.1 was very inconsistent and gave me hives. 10 has changed markedly already between big updates.

I rarely use Windows but this is indeed ridiculous. I find myself guessing which button or link is hiding the dialogue that I really want. In almost all cases I just want the one from Windows 95, like display settings, but end up opening the wrong ones and seemingly going in circles before I finally crack the code.
Stopping at source can be more effective if done with empathy.
>> The notion that you need to know as much as a creator to critic their works
is childish and immature.

Schmidhuber is not a "creator" in the sense that Pekinpah, or Coppola, are
"creators" and his works are not works of art that can be experienced and
criticised by anyone based on aesthetics alone (even though aesthetics also can
take a lot of honing).

In any case my comment was that, to propose a better interpretation of the work
described by Schmidhuber (not "to point out their biases and fallacies", as you
say), you need to know that work at least as well as him. Otherwise, you find
yourself criticising the work of someone who knows more than you know.

I don't know about you, but I've done that in the past and it made me look and
feel like a fool. You may think you are "sufficiently well versed about the
topics discussed in this article" but if you so dismiss the need for general
knowledge, beyond the contents of one article, then there may easily be any
amount of knowledge that you're missing and that makes you think you know all
you need, simply because you don't know what you don't know.

Remember what Socrates, the wisest of men, said: "I know one thing, that I know
nothing, Jon Snow".

I may have garbled that a bit there. But you get the picture. Arrogance cannot
replace knowledge. Never assume that you know more than you need to know to
prove wrong an expert in a field of knowledge as deep and with as long a history
as AI, just because you have an internet connection.

Finally, nobody "worships" LeCun or Schmidhuber. What people admire is their
knowledge and the hard work they put into acquiring that knowledge. And the
reason they admire it is because anyone who's ever try to get to grips with a
scientific subject understands how much hard work it takes to acquire
knowledge.
The hardware is an imaging system (see other comment). It does not impact flight avionics in any way, and is on an isolated power source. The flight engineers wouldn't let us roll the dice on anything mission critical. They did make us redo a bunch of wiring harnesses to use non-smoke-producing wires, for example.
I did supply my email but it's not a Gmail or Google for Work email address nor a domain tied to those. Exposure notification is clearly off. Still got the app.
I don't understand why the UI is such a big deal to people here. I can deal with UI. I'll (grudgingly) accept changes to UI that break my hard-learned muscle memory and figure out the "new way" to do things.

I just want a version of Windows that I am in control of. I don't want my machines (or my Customers' machines, for whom I am responsible to support) torpedoing themselves with shoddy updates that try to install at inappropriate times (need to shut down your laptop to put it into a bag and head home-- tough-- we're installing updates!).

I can deal with UI. I've been learning new UI my whole life. The whole "it's not your computer anymore" tack Microsoft took with Windows 10 is condescending and abusive.
I meant worse than bad faith, not always... But sometimes in these circumstances.

Maybe "no faith" is closer to the mark. Reformatories with no ideals, just trying to stay open and make ends meet.

I suppose the canonical example is the Spanish inquisition, and the rest of the conquista culture. They were saving people from hell, barbarism, sin and such. Also Russian gulags, Canadian residential schools, and many other examples.

A "for your own good" mentality has often resulted in some of the worst institutions, or at least a distinctive flavour of bad.
To give another example (from part 3):

> Why on earth would I ever want to switch to a “wrong” (that is, non-matching) keyboard language? Mac OS X had this, in my opinion, counter-productive menu

Because sometimes I play video games and sometimes these games have hardcoded keybindings that assume I have a QWERTY keyboard, and if I want to be able to play the game at all I need to play along.

Now, sure, there's room for improvement. Maybe we don't need a keyboard shortcut to change the language mode, as long as there's a top-level menu that gives me a way to do that.

But a UX designed by the author wouldn't give me either of those options. Because the author never met that use-case, and therefore assumed the use-case didn't exist.
Disconnection Notice
I just found this app and removed it. And I definitely did not opt into any kind of covid tracking earlier.

This app seems to use Bluetooth to track potential violations of 6ft personal space and notify people if someone from that list later gets a covid positive test. Whatever the noble goal is I do not want it on my phone, this is creepy!
The "with its neighbors" there is important. The waste described is that in spending a century warring with the country next doors opens you up to being rolled over by someone from another continent who spent that century developing in peace and prosperity. That's not really as relevant in the United States' modern geopolitical position where military spending is about exerting a global sphere of influence.
Sounds really promising.
Having something like this available as vocabulary types would be quite nice for GUI libraries.

Some history of the question of whether Rust should have GC as standard:

2014-09.
RFC 256 https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/0256-remove-refcounting-gc-...

«
Remove the reference-counting based Gc<T> type from the standard library and its associated support infrastructure from rustc.

Doing so lays a cleaner foundation upon which to prototype a proper tracing GC
»

Contemporary with that:

"Memory safety without garbage collection." is now advertised as a "key value proposition" (this isn't quite the same as saying "we're not thinking of ever adding garbage collection", of course).

2016-08:
https://manishearth.github.io/blog/2016/08/18/gc-support-in-...

« Recently we (Felix, Niko, and I) have been working on getting compiler-level GC support for Rust. The plan is to provide a base set of APIs and intrinsics on which GCs can be built, without including an actual GC itself. »

This is the "Unfinished design for a builtin Rust GC" described in TFA.

strace can never be shilled enough. I’ve solved so many issues with it that were complete mysteries otherwise. A common and simple problem is a missing file something needs to initialize, but there’s no error emitted for it anywhere. strace will make that obvious in a snap (I had this problem on early LXC)

It should be in every admin/devs toolbox!
Wouldn't it make more sense to have garbage collectors at the level of LLVM?

That way, you could have direct access to all the pointers in a program without jumping through the language's hoops. And other languages could benefit from it too.
Lots of people have a process that works well-enough. There was confusion and bad experience with there being multiple options, e.g. pipenv (which came with its fair share of drama), making people wary.

Same. It just doesn't work for my brain. We're looking at pixels on a screen so you need to somehow trick the brain into registering this as an interface and the metro/fluent ones completely fail in this regard. I see something more like a dense information sheet than an interactive interface.

Technically it seems broken too. There was a bug in the calculator app where one button was off by 1 pixel. It boggles the mind to imagine how that kind of thing is possible.

> If Greenland ruled the world we would all be discussing some nonsense about how easily sleds glide over ice.

This criticism only makes sense if you believe that Greenland could realistically have ruled the world with no significant differences in geography or technology to our real world.

If we stumbled upon some alternative universe where Greenland in fact was the dominant empire, the idea that something was different enough in their universe such that colder climates were an advantage would absolutely be the first thing investigated.

> Nevermind that this supposes a geographic explaination [...] But an economist examines it through economic policy, an anthropologist through culture..

I don't know if you read the first article in this series, but the author definitely touches on those factors, particularly with regards to the Silk Road, and how empires can thrive through competition if they're close (but not too close).
Interesting thought. Is it really stadias management to blame or are there other limits hard to overcome?
