When Google Maps came out in 2004 and revolutionized mapping with the sheer quantity of data presented unbelievably smoothly, there was a similar (though smaller) excitment about "map-based" apps. It seemed like such a big blue ocean had opened and fortunes would be made on the back of new killer apps. I worked on a few prototypes myself and saw many pitches from various maps-based startups.

But pretty much only Yelp was able to succeed. There just aren't a lot of highly-monetizable applications that are primarily map-based. No one knew the limits at the time, though.

I think AR is in kind of the same place. The demos are mindblowing and there's enthusiasm, but there aren't a lot of killer apps with the state of the technology. For location-based apps, they really required a second piece in order to really open up the space: the smartphone. It may be that AR is waiting for some other supporting technologies before it becomes obviously laden with utility.

I've lived in the country and I've lived in the city.

If you do anything that requires networks of people living in the country will hurt your chances, this even applies to learning about stuff you're curious about, without a community it's way harder to do, and that community just doesn't exist when there aren't enough people. The internet has alleviated this somewhat but for some things nothing beats in person.

There is also something to be said about regional attitudes. If you grow up as the only kid in town interested in Robotics when everyone else your age is into Football, you're going to have a hard time.

This isn't even touching the fact that jobs are scarce in these small towns, unless you are a remote tech worker, but even then good luck getting a decent internet connection, even more so now that some politicians are trying to outlaw municipal ISPs.

Also the stats for country living aren't nearly as spotless as people want to believe, Meth is a big problem, teen pregnancies too, even suicide is high and rising in Rural America. Calling it safer or even more wholesome is questionable at best.

Are there any consumer drones with a flight time of over an hour? (An hour+ of high-performance flight at that).
Magma is not necessary for geothermal. Regular fracking methods suffice to get to sufficiently hot strata. Once at the right level, you drill two holes horizontally in parallel for several hundred yards and pump cooled water down one and get hot water out the other. It stays liquid under pressure and boils water in a heat exchanger at the surface.

The tech is still at pilot stage, but with no fundamental problems to solve. The important question is whether it will be able to compete commercially with solar and wind, which costs are still in free-fall.
For various reasons, I left data out of the requirements because most interesting research uses data unavailable to the community. CLIP is such an example, and it's A+ science: Model, Code, Paper.

Having the model is enough to verify the paper's claims, and also to experiment with new approaches (since you can fine-tune the model).

That said, I make this concession as a "meet you halfway" compromise between hard-line positions: "We can't release models, because we trained them on private data" and "You must release both models and data."

In other words, you're technically correct, but in my estimation it would do more harm to the end goal: the whole reason the scientific method is useful, is because it makes the world more useful.

The world would be less useful if fewer commercial companies participated in the scientific method. It's an inclusive group, not an exclusive clique. All you have to do, is give me the tools to verify your claims.
Google has the too much SJW problem. These are extreme leftists who exaggerate everything to the max.

I remember in memegen. One person commented that, if you voted for republican, you would be killing me (because they were gay).

There were a bunch of mentions like this that just sounded exaggerated that nobody could have a reasonable convo.

It is also extremely contradictory. For example, we should get all killers in jail. In this case, it would be 49% of the country. If these republican voters kill gay, then why don't we put them in jail yet?
Code reviews keep developers honest. Left to their own devices, developers will employ their terrible habits which sneak into the code base. Code reviews isn't just about reviewing the code but it's raising the bar for what is actually presented as complete. It separates sloppy code from complete, fully tested code. Developers are lazy and will look for shortcuts if standards are not maintained.
#3 it sounds like something is wrong in your device chain. 80%+ of my family and friends use AirPods for personal, workout, and or business purposes and their experience is rather seamless. Reach out to Apple support.
Yes. This is what makes those few people so dangerous. But for them we might safely pursue the necessary remedies. Unfortunately such a pursuit risks delivering vindication to said people, deserved or otherwise, and so we must demur.

All of this is self evident when you understand the correct prioritization of concerns. While discovering the true genesis of some great failure and correctly ascribing fault may have value, the risk of validating ones ideological opponents -- vanishing few and impotent as they may be -- has many times more import.
Knickers to you may be outer garments to others. This browser has made a habit of asking users to interpret their actions "the right" way.

Look, maybe this is a good idea, and it is the future of getting people to pay for stuff like news or software. If so then they need someone who understands that vision and can project it with confidence. Right now I have no idea who runs Brave or what person I would look to for understanding their goals. For such an innovative concept you really do need a visible delivery vehicle with whom people can relate.

I set mine to four attempts, figuring that if I screw my passcode up four times it takes me like an hour to restore the device state from backup/MDM but if someone thought they had guesses at my passcode they'd lose that much quicker.

You are correct. The homeless camps across the United States are no doubt full of people not actually trying.
You waiting for any Q drops too?
Here’s what I mean when I asked us to consider perspectives of trans people —- I want you to understand us not just as potential perpetrators of violence here, but also as recipients. Trans women are subject to prison rape at apparently disproportionate levels [1][2] when housed in men’s prisons. Instead of framing this as “is it ethical to move a woman to a women’s prison on the off chance she’s a man gaming the system,” I would consider asking “is it an acceptable tradeoff to keep a woman in men’s prison on the off chance she’s a secret rapist, even if her chances of being raped herself are increased as a result?”

It’s worthwhile to interrogate some of the ways we frame these kinds of discussions, implicitly or otherwise, myself included!

While wise it ignores the fact that the intervention can save lives which would be ended by 18 years of age.

Would you be for puberty blockers so that puberty can be delayed until 18 and automatic sex transformations be paused until the person can make a decision which way they want to go?
I don’t think someone with lego in mind could have come up with minecraft.

The problem is that there really isn’t an interface for building with Lego freeform that doesn’t suck for new users. Not many people are willing to get good at something like that for purely creative reasons.

Minecraft works because it’s limited to 1x1x1 bricks. The interface you can make with such a restriction is significantly better.

But I don’t think anyone thinking about lego would have seen that as an acceptable trade off before minecraft.
It sometimes depends if you are relying on first party documentation or not.

I have used systems with full and proper documentation and searching for an error code will give an exact match and as much detail as I want, sometimes in offline documentation and sometimes online. While error messages often cause problems on Google.

For your example, try selecting it and searching 'account_deactivated' in Google.

Showing results for account deactivated
Search instead for account_deactivated

Click that 'search instead' link. Google clearly ignores the underscore in the results so it's not doing what it says it will. The way around this is to quote the text but IMO searching something like '<productname> error 0x5678' is clear, reliable, and easy. These will often be paired with a token like your example anyway, such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, so you get both.
I'm not clear why it is assumed this is a "drone." From the article, it sounds like all that could be identified was a single green light. This seems like a classic UFO/UAP. Maybe it was a drone, but I don't see the evidence to make that conclusion based on this article.
As a product manager, I understand this spiel, but that kind of answer should always be reserved for features that don’t exist yet.

This tells me their marketing dept is writing checks their product team can’t make good on. Not good.
> By all means educate, but don't con yourself that it will matter, in the absence of any other changes.

Most people who are not rich do con themself with that belief. Life becomes bearable only if you have a degree of delusion.

> Europe doesn't create Ubers because it doesn't have the capital. its not to do with innovation.

Europe has capital. You'll find a lot in Silicon Valley.
>You can stop now. You won. The soviets are gone.

They're clearly not though. While the successor state isn't communist, the successor state still acts in aggressive ways. We can also find many examples of people supporting the ideology in groups online, eg reddit's r/communism. Some of them even defend Stalin.

Clearly the ideology isn't dead.

>In other words, we can ask 30 or 40 year olds, did you feel unhappy with your identity as much as today's youth feel about their identities but couldn't wouldn't express it?

This won't be accurate for a few reasons.

First, there are certainly people in denial about these feelings. A society that is more hostile to trans people will yield a society that has more trans people denying their true identity. That should be obvious. Sometimes that denial is only outward which could result on them lying on a poll. Sometimes that denial will even be to themselves which means they couldn't be truthful on a poll.

If you have spent time around young children you have probably learned that it is difficult to understand a feeling without being able to name that feeling. Similarly it is possible for people to be experiencing gender dysmorphia without realizing that it is specifically gender dysmorphia. I have heard trans people talk about having a general lack of comfort in their body or just the sense that they were somehow wrong that they couldn't explain until they later in life realized they are trans.

Also trans people tragically have a shorter average life span due to increased rates of violence and suicide. Simply measuring the percentage of 40 years isn't going to be comparable to a percentage of 15 year olds because many of those 15 year olds sadly won't live to see 40.
It shows that most people don't consider them equivalent to women as sexual partners. We were discussing how in some demands trans people are considered and are not considered as their gender of choice. If you ask would you date a woman and someone says yes, then ask would you date a trans woman and they say no, that shows that they are differentiated for the purposes of this question
Same with the AI residency. (At least I didn't.)
So that’s the sad thing. So many of the kids did have potential and wanted to learn but the school environment was tainted with enough disruption to ruin it. Kids that could excel would be disruptive and I should know since I was one of them. It was anarchy at times and why not participate in it?

Kids are impressionable and will adapt to the culture they’re immersed in. I took on bad values because I was immersed in that. I’m only grateful afterwards I was able to figure it out. I lost a few years early on but was able to recover. I only wish I was immersed in a serious academic environment rather than prison training. My kids absolutely will not be immersed in that and I wish no parent that wants to surround their kids with likewise parents would have to settle for that. It’s why funding students and not schools is the best path. Poor, single moms would have the option of getting their kids out of these public school hell holes.
I've met quite a few trans women working in tech!

Of course men have privileges too, but I think many of men's privileges come from confounding variables. Like men are on average taller, and people are biased to view taller people as having more authority, so taller people are more likely to become CEOs etc.

Whereas women's privileges come from society compensating for men's privileges. So society sees women on average are smaller and physically weaker, and thus decides they need privileges like separate sports to compensate.

Trans women who went through male puberty often have the size advantage of men, so them also have the social privileges of women is seen as double dipping.

While for trans men it's the opposite, they're often small like women, but not afforded social protection for it.

Anyway that's just my theory why some people hate trans women more than trans men. I myself have sympathy for both cases, dysphoria sounds pretty awful.
> Living out that type of switch for any length of time...

What "switch" are you talking about? The trans-rights movement frowns on requiring trans people to make any sort of "switch" beyond a mere declaration. The whole concept of self-identification is that a man need do nothing more than declare that he's now a woman, and he should promptly have access to spaces and resources reserved for women, such as girls' scholarships, women's bathrooms, women's shelters, women's sports teams and athletics, women's prisons, women's healthcare, women's dating websites, etc. Requiring any sort of physical transition is said to be a violation of trans people's human rights, and thus men-- biological males with penises-- should be allowed access to these spaces by simply "checking a box".

Getting self-identification enacted in laws is a primary goal of the most prominent and powerful trans rights lobbies:

Oh I love mindstorms. We used it years ago as part of my CS program at university. Our assignment was to figure out how to route trains around a network in haskell (given a track layout and some goals). Some students and I worked to connect the haskell API to real trains through lego RCX bricks. It was super fun, and it (for the first time) gave me the sense that I can make anything.

But mindstorms, PoweredUp, Boost and the whole lego ecosystem at the moment is a mess. The point of lego bricks is that they're inherently compatible - any brick can connect to any other brick, going back for decades. But strangely, lego's software doesn't follow this at all. Despite all running through bluetooth, Mindstorms and PoweredUp work through entirely different (and as far as I can tell, incompatible) software and protocols. Mindstorms programs (which can run on either a mindstorms brick or a PC) should be able to, through bluetooth, connect to and drive any number of mindstorms/poweredup/boost controllers and use them to connect to additional sensors and motors. Then you could use the mindstorms software to program poweredup robots, use mindstorms bricks as the brain for large robots with poweredup hubs, use train controllers as inputs into mindstorms programs, and so on. But you can't. Its all strangely siloed by "theme". Despite using the same plug, you can't even use all of the poweredup / train / mindstorms sensors and motors interchangeably with all of lego's microcontrollers.

On the software side lego maintains two separate & mutually incompatible scratch style programming languages, driven through different apps, to talk to physical hardware that is fundamentally, technically deeply compatible. From any other company I would understand. But this is LEGO. The whole point of lego is that it all connects together. If you have a voice at lego, please help the software teams understand and uphold the same mandate for fundamental interconnectedness in code.
Even if it were true that "the public" would not accept an acquittal at trial (although they sure were quick to accept acquittal without a trial), what does that have to do with scientific investigation? If there were reasonable candidate ancestors for SARS-COV2 found in nature, it would support natural origin, and be "enough" for many current skeptics. The weight of evidence is currently in support of lab leak, regardless of opinion one way or the other.
> Around 3 months ago, I started having issues with their "Export" feature. Basically, you request to export all your data on Notion, and you're supposed to receive a link to download it. But the link never arrives.

Was it ever working? “Having issues” seems to imply the functionality disappeared.
I understand this frustration very well. I recall one video on learning Rails, the teacher said it would be better to learn Ruby first and then learn Rails. It wasn't until I actually understood Ruby's deep areas that I could understand what was actually going on in Rails and how Rails accomplished it. The idea of sweep the details under the rug and just do it works if you aren't encountering bugs/runtime errors.
The only 2 reasons you can think of start from the supposition that there is strong evidence pointing at "lab leak" as a sensible and sound place to invest enormous resources in trying to prove.

Is it? (the answer is no).

Because the other place that we actually do need to invest enormous resources in researching for viral origins is the wilds of China. Because if it's not a lab leak, then there's a carrier species out there as a reservoir and a series of transmission and exposure behaviors which made it's emergence more likely, and we really need to identify those as well as any potential future viruses which may emerge from the same reservoirs - as was predicted would happen after SARS (and then did, hence COVID-19).

Lab-leak proponents are basically UFO-believers at this point: constantly claiming we need more research into the lab leak, and dismissing any alternative explanations (hence why we're up to "China did secret, undetectable gain of function research at the Wuhan lab")
https://usesthis.com/interviews/kicks.condor/ according to this it is a Facebook labs personality. The domain owner is obfuscated. Kickscondor didn't provide a valid response to my question.

The repetition here is a common rhetorical device, not necessarily an indication of self-doubt.

That said, I agree with your overall position on ML publications. So much of what we see is a tech demo protected by some kind of moat, either a private commercial dataset or insatiable processing requirements or missing code or a combination of the above. These aren’t science, they’re advertisements.
Yes but generally that term includes fossil.
Blog comments are mentioning the fact that one of the choppers had to refuel, maybe a testament to how energetic the chase was, but maybe it was already low at that point. That, and the fact that there is an AFB there points to a military drone.
he's probably just using ngrok as a server and the SSL cert on that ngrok process probs isn't verified by a CA. just a guess tho
Most people when confronted with a problem, just ignore it.

This can be hard to imagine for a problem solver personality. How can people be so helpless?

But it’s basically because people have learned that complaining usually achieves nothing so they don’t even bother.
Homicide rates are also quite reliably measured, and comparable across populations and jurisdictions (as opposed to robbery, assault, etc. that are less reliably reported and consistently defined). It is, generally speaking, a good measure.
I'm not a Notion customer, but frankly with a response like this I would never, ever be one.

It's one thing to make a new feature request and have the response be "sorry, we'll get to it when we get to it." It's quite another to have a bug in an advertised, previously working feature, with no workaround, and say "sorry, our engineers have a big backlog."

Imagine if a bank said "sorry, we know the withdrawal feature to get your money is broken, but our engineers have a big backlog." Unbelievable!
Depending on what you need, they have an API and a pseudo exporter could likely be built: https://developers.notion.com/reference/intro.

Not great, but better than being stuck.
There’s always so much talk about meritocracy but one thing I’m beginning to realize is that it cannot actually exist without anonymity.

As long as one can be associated with something that provides a signal of merit, true merit will never be properly measured, as a deviation from the expectation will be considered an aberration by those who judge as opposed to an indication of no aptitude.

If you have access to a Mac with Apple Configurator 2, you can disable the "Allow device to pair with other computers" during supervision setup (you don't have to enable any other settings in Configurator besides this one). It'll wipe the device (you can restore from backup), but from then on unless the device is wiped it will not connect to any computer except one with the keypair Apple Configurator creates (so just uninstall configurator and it is deleted).
