The question is the tone - this person was rude first, and got a rude reply, and the fixation is on the rude reply rather than the one that set the tone.

The tangent about 'hindering rescue workers' has nothing to do with reality. they were exchanging messages on twitter - it's nonsense to equate that to anything like you are.
In the case of a model/actor, where their image could be suggested to be a form of work, mightn't there be a conflict of interests? That photo would obviously not be as valuable, if the subject was of someone else.

As for the Sistine Chapel thing, that does make sense.

You'll only hear one side of the coin. I would also want to hear from people who understand AI/ML and have decided not to use it in an application domain. That's probably the most valuable info, knowing when not to use a tool.
It is, those numbers are less favorable than they are on my own machine.

The speed of your RAM memory is likely to have an influence on performance. My system is running at 2133MHz.
Absolutely not. I waited too long to start spawning, so I can’t have as many as I wanted to.

It’s very rare for people to (report) regretting having children. Something like 2%.

There are similar number for people who chose not to have children (and don’t).

And similar number for people who don’t want children, but for whatever reason wind up with them anyway.

People are generally happy with their reproductive outcomes.

Or at least there is strong social pressure not to complain about their reproductive outcomes.

Edit: I don’t know if that’s true for people who want children buy can’t have them.

Edit: if you’re looking for a source I suggest “Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids.”

> Should you not be able to take a picture in public if everyone in the area hasn't signed on?

For news gathering and documentary purposes, yes you can. But if you're a private art photographer, no, you should not. It's the same issue as people walking onto sets of films and then suing because the studio used their likeness without a release.

If say, I was in captured accidentally in a promotional video or in a photo in a popular instagram account, I might just sue. Particularly if the instagram account makes $50k/post.

If you're making money with my likeness, why shouldn't I get a cut of it?

Yes and no. Local ISPs in the U.S. are also laying/stringing their own fiber and providing cheap (cheaper than shown here) service. They are starting to move into 10/25 gigabit speeds too, as the costly part (running the fiber) doesn't do much to limit the speed, you just have to update the equipment at each end.
I found EdgeDB today via the article "Against SQL" (which triggered so many pain points), and now rewriting one of the projects to use it. I know it's not production ready, but it looks too good not to try.

Please change it back. I believe the title was more appropriate.

- While it was a subtitle, it was way more to the point

- Specifically pointing to America was also appropriate

The Economist is a magazine publication. Their headlines are a concession to the content.
> Awk is great but you have to 'program' the parsing spec, rather than declare it.

You could probably turn a declarative spec into an awk program with an awk program.
If you're going to make a comment like that it would be better to share some of the experiences—it would add substance, and be much more interesting.
This doesn't really surprise me. We use CloudSQL at my work (Sourcegraph) and have run into all sorts of weird issues actually putting it into production, e.g. segmentation faults when turning on Query Insights (which, lol, is supposed to give insight into why your DB might be behaving poorly.)

For the most part it works okay and is fine, but there have definitely been a fair number of quirks..

Quite a lot. Initially, a lot of the changes were removing things from crosvm, but adding features like snapshots, and factoring things out into RustVMM, has made them diverge a lot more.

There's some data in the paper about how similar they were then, too.
This is not always true. A prominent food blogger Mikey Chen visited the KFC Buffet in Tokyo and was thoroughly disappointed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIzhomIj-YQ

I once rented a room from a guy whose job was to lead a “follow” crew behind crews that were building houses. I job was to fix mistakes that the building crew had made during the initial build.

I’m glad he had a job, but it stems like the builder could have saved a lot of money by just moving a little slower, and doing it right the first time. Then again, maybe the cheaper labor building the houses offset the extra cost.

Super reliable. I used to get at least 1 speeding ticket per year, I haven’t had a ticket in 8 years thanks to Waze.

Also Waze time estimates are stupidly accurately. You think you can beat their estimate by driving faster but it somehow accounts for that, eg if average speed on 101 is currently 80 mph the estimates will reflect that. Waze puts Apple Maps to shame for navigation.

The way it reports adding a stop (say for gas station) as how many minutes off route is extremely useful.
I completely agree. Of course as you say the damage from sedentary jobs is a lot less visible and much harder to pinpoint.

I'd argue the public perceives sedentary jobs as much safer because of this even if they may not be in reality.
Funny i was commenting to my coworkers how clever are engineers in China, on AliExpress you can buy a special tool to disassemble airpods and replace the battery. Same with the touchID and faceID sensors and a device to calibrate it.
A sonar wouldn't help in such a pressing situation. The sonar would only provide a map that would still need to be interpreted, and wouldn't solve the actual problem of transporting the boys.

Those "helmets" exist, but helmets as such are used in commercial diving with a tether to the diver. Not very practical to have it running along the cave for multiple divers. The full face masks that allow that are mainly used in open circuit diving and are bulky. I don't know if the pros/cons would make a huge difference.

At one point I believe Tesla or just Musk were planning and developing a pod to carry each boy, but the tunnels and sumps were so narrow that they wouldn't be able to make the turns.

Having tunnels with compressed air to inflate them would have similar issues with the bends. Not to mention the amount of gas and pressure needed to displace all that water.

I guess they took the most direct and logistically available option.
I'm sure it will be a case study for the future.

CTL just copy pastes a bunch of code via an include for each new type. The following two tidbits are basically the same thing:

CTL

#define P
#define T int
#include <vec.h>

STL

#include <vector>
template class std::vector<int>;

C++ with its STL is just dramatically slower at compiling it all. C loves to chew through its basic syntax and O(1) lookup since every symbol is essentially unique (take that C++ and your function overloading!)
Wikipedia claims this is 134F, not 131F, but that is apparently disputed.

The security properties of Proof of Work cryptocurrency are derived from the wastefulness. We want to be confident that everyone has the same cost when producing a block.

If the problems being solved are useful, they are potentially more useful to some parties than others, meaning some parties may have a lower cost to attack the blockchain, because it was computation they needed to spend money on anyway, might as well attack a blockchain while you are at it.

I can try to explain further if that's confusing.
Honestly - I have to agree with you, no matter how unpopular an opinion that is. I got to watch my elderly relatives die long before COVID was a thing, which was of course very sad. But no one tried to take my childhood away to prevent it (which it wouldn’t have anyway) - like what seems to be happening now to some extent.
Somewhere in the past archives there's also a link to a good article on Col. Harlan Sanders, his life, and his struggles against the corporation that bought him out.
>I get your point to an extent, but are you serious with the not knowing Honey Baked Ham? Maybe if your upbringing says no pork, then sure you'd probably not be familiar but I'd at least thought the name would have been at least heard of in school/office/entertainment/etc. Clearly I'm wrong in that.

Funny thing was, I had never heard of Honey Baked Ham until my first boss told me he used to be a manager at one. The irony there was that he was Jewish and didn't eat pork.
Down the Wikipedia rabbit hole and I see that Brandenburg Airport was finished in 2020.

In its preamble the Economist says: the project encountered a series of successive delays due to poor construction planning, execution, management, and corruption

That would be poor: planning, execution, and management. The corruption was of the best European standard. Quite excellent.
When Musk first appeared I was hugely supportive. Definitely a fan of what he was doing both with SpaceX and Tesla.

I'm still a fan of what those companies are doing but Elon has destroyed my view of him with his own behavior and words. We should stop turning a blind eye to his labor practices. Likewise, we should give the engineers and other workers that are actually accomplishing these things more credit, vs pretending it's one lone genius. Tom Mueller in particular deserves far more credit.
Honest question. Why do your examples assume that the autonomous machine has to be smaller than the human operated version?
I'm fairly confident that if you want to throw FUD it's your responsibility, not mine, to give some example.

Yes, these when these models become critical (eg. where the distinction between liquid & gas goes away [1]) they form clouds of condensation at all scale sizes, so it is like a fractal.

What about Pfizer vaccine ? Are both Moderna and Pfizer close enough to speculate same results ?
Or at least started running a second run of modified trials as soon as the phase 3 trials passed.

The trials take something like 3 months from first shot to results, I think. It took a lot more than 3 months from phase 3 completed to most people vaccinated in most Western countries and obviously much longer in developing ones.

But there is very little financial incentive to run such trials once you have a vaccine approved...
Fair. I’m late 30s, my dad is 74 and can work circles around me. He definitely started manual labor young. I did some of it in high school but have been behind a desk since college.

I do consider myself very fit/active, but it’s not the strength or stamina that’s the limiting factor, it’s the holding weight at weird angles, or applying torque, or just reaching out over my center of mass for hours.

Anecdotally it seems like the specialists have it worst. His friends who did flooring all have wrecked knees, and the drywall hangers have messed up shoulders. He seems to have made it out unscathed, though other generalists he knows have back problems.
Picking the same acronym based on a similar name is VERY underhanded, especially when the acronym is used throughout as the name for the project. The term NSM is used more than a dozen times while Non Session Manager is used 3 times in their about page. NSM is basically the identity of project. http://non.tuxfamily.org/wiki/Non%20Session%20Manager

Using the same acronym and the same binary file names to push out Non from the distribution is very underhanded.

This looks like a deliberate aim to confuse the users and taking over the project code and identity. It's not cool.

I don't know JML and don't know his development style. Since he has been gracious enough to open source his project, I assume he's generous enough to share his hard work with others. If people don't like his style, fork the project with a different identity and compete on the merits, rather than stealing his project's identity with confusion.

Review: Capital One College Bowl
I went to a highly selective college for undergrad. It's really easy to assume that this is typical of the college population, which it isn't. And even among that highly selective population, it was really easy to spot a lot of irrational behaviors. Hell, if test results are to be believed, I'm in the top 1% of the population intelligence-wise and yet I still lost $20 to a shell-game con artist on the “L” and that's just the tip of the iceberg of my own irrational behavior.
> Would not a sonar help?

Portable sonar systems with in-helmet displays were put in use by the US Navy only last year: https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2021/03/us-navy-teams-w...

> A full spacesuit-like helmet with air to be able to talk via radio?

Would fuck up your buoyancy, but there are systems where you have only an air pockt around your mouth. But the range would be so low as to be nearly useless inside a cave.

> Laying down some flexible tunnels that could be inflated with air or maybe just pumped with clear water to gain visibility?

Even assuming that you had those already available, laying them would be a very slow process, and they would be a hindrance rather than help in very narrow passages.
What gop voters want and what the GOP wants tend to be completely different, which is why younger conservatives tend to not like the GOP.

Older conservatives are weird and will be gone in a few decades.

As a republican for a very long time, I personally am on the 'free market is a tool, not an end' side of the policy platform.

To be fair, if you ask most normal democrats, they'll tell you they're for free markets too.

All Americans seem to think they are. It's part of our cultural mythos. If a democrat says they're not, it's usually because they don't want to be perceived as a republican, rather than an actual belief.
Keep in mind that CoPilot might itself be a well-poisoning tactic.

If use of Github presumes use of CoPilot and of comingled code under incompatible, or proprietary, licenses, such that use of such code could then create contributory infringement claims against distributors, users, or developers, there's something of a problem across the Free Software world.

Though that does seem rather a bit of a major footgun for Github / Microsoft themselves.

The Free Software movement didn't create, or even want, a world in which copyrighted software was a norm. But it adpated to the circumstance by treating copyright as a serious matter and being diligent in practices of use, appropriation, and licencing.

It's rather ironic that the source of the "Letter to Hobbyists"[1] are now advocating a devil-may-care attitude to copyright, software, and licensing in their own works and service offerings.

Definitely not.

There is a lot of bad information about child raising on social media sites like Reddit, Twitter, and even HN some times. You can safely ignore anything on the internet that resembles the /r/childfree subreddit.

Having kids isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine. The happy child-free couples I know actually like children but decided against having their own. Some of the childfree people, particularly on Reddit and other internet sites, try to make having children sound as terrible as possible to help justify and defend their own decision. You can safely ignore their complaints, too.

Parenting is work, but it’s not the end of the world. Raising kids costs money, but it’s not the bottomless money pit I thought it would be based on what I saw on the internet. In fact, parenting in general is almost nothing like what I read about online. My advice is to seek out some happy parents around you and ask them for advice. The happy parents tend to blend in and not broadcast to the world that they like their kids, because nobody likes hearing people brag about their own children endlessly.
What subset of the reals can be constructed with this machine?
> It is both evil and superfluous. It is evil because you should be writing portable code and do not depend on compiler specificities. It is superfluous because if you do not check, the compilation will still fail, which is precisely the expected behaviour.

But now I get 2 dozen error reports because there is a lot of users who run builds because they're on Linux and that's what $BLOGPOST said to do to have the last version of some software, but have no clue about software development.

> No, of course. At first you will have a few linuxisms or macOS-isms, that you will gradually remove through a few rounds of multi-platform testing (which is free and easy to do nowadays).

So how do you handle that you need to link against Ws2_32 on windows or "-lwebsocket.js -s PROXY_POSIX_SOCKETS=1 -s USE_PTHREADS=1 -s PROXY_TO_PTHREAD=1" on emscripten if you want to use sockets ?
Don't use sockets because they're not portable ?
In the earliest trial of Moderna’s mRNA-based vaccine, study participants received one of three dose levels: 25, 100 or 250 micrograms. The top dose proved too toxic. The low dose elicited the weakest immune response. The middle dose seemed to offer the best balance: it triggered strong immunity and had acceptable side effects.

That somewhat contradicts the article's claim.

If you under-dose, there may have to be a booster shot. Then the whole inoculation program has to do the job twice.
