> It still baffles me that people see stories like this, and desire to have government take over more and more of their life.

What's baffling to me is that people making your argument seem to forget how poorly people are treated by the private sector.

> In this instance it is business license, now image you need a hip surgery and you have to schedule that with the government....

I haven't had to schedule a hip surgery with a government, but a government has also never sent me or my wife a surprise, erroneous $4,000 bill for what was a fully covered medical procedure (that in any other country would cost half as much) that then took two months and a lot of high-blood-pressure games of telephone to reverse.

My parents and grandparents have had to schedule surgeries with a government, though. They get a date, they show up, they get the surgery, they get discharged, no bullshit, no surprise bills, no worrying over whether or not you actually owe money, or are just getting shaken down...

I suppose I could only go in for treatment with care providers that don't fuck around with medical billing. Unfortunately, I am not aware that there is a single healthcare provider in my area who would pass that low, low bar.
I don’t get this. If I’m leasing the car, why would I be on the hook for the repair? The whole point of paying the lease premium is that you aren’t.
The hardware suite is the same on every car nowadays. They want FSD to be a downloadable app like a subscription. Which means you would have to put LIDAR on every car even if it didn't convert to FSD.

Also, Elon has gone on Twitter rants several times before against LIDAR. That horse has already left the stable and it ain't coming back.

Yes, this is made worse by the fact that Lenin previously tried to do what Stalin did and found that access to reliable data was a major issue, but Stalin still went through with it, partly because he expected war and partly because he thought he could do it better. This wasn't something we should give the benefit to Stalin for but in retrospect WW2 may have taken a turn for the worse in the opposite case.
I'm pretty sure this is a logical fallacy. In the case of medications it's actually a fairly common situation where a patient has a terminal illness that there is no treatment available for, but you can get it on "the blackmarket" and in that case, it's either die for sure, or maybe not die, and in that case having a beta makes sense - it ensures you're atleast getting the thing you think you're getting.

To me autonomous vehicles are similar - the people who have access to them know they're not perfect, but they're willing to spend the money because they think it's better than the alternative
These aren't even the worst examples I've seen by far-- but I suppose they're the worst people have posted with the latest software.

As someone in another thread said:

Driving with Tesla FSD is like being a drive instructor for a narcoleptic student driver who is currently tripping balls.

I don't want to share a road with these things. I try to stay as far away from every tesla on the road as I can.
I never type the letter n as in "-n 5" when using tail or head. I just replace n with the number, e.g., "-5". Its a habit I never broke because I still haven't encountered a situation where it does not work.
I kind of took for granted the fact that my customers are typically the party with the money by several orders of magnitude so I don't have to worry much about joint liability even though I live in one of those states.

You're definitely not wrong, "don't be the only party with the money" was one of the things my law professor drilled into us but for a consumer getting their car (or whatever) repaired they don't really have to worry about being the guy with the money since any shop will have a ton of money via insurance and insurance will have a ton of practice defending frivolous claims.

I also forgot the "anyone can sue anyone for anything, doesn't mean they win, doesn't mean it won't cost you money to fight them" disclaimer.
I would say that it’s fairly rare that RSA and AES are really competitors for the same category of uses, as they’re asymmetric and symmetric algorithms respectively.

I would suggest that anyone who doesn’t know about the differences between these things just not use cryptography directly and instead use things like libsodium which has sane defaults and a hard to misuse api.

If you don’t know cryptography fairly well, it’s a massive minefield.

Appliance labels. Went to take a picture of the tiny little model number ready to type it in somewhere and found a direct link to the product page & manual.
Personally I so want a Tesla because they are undoubtedly the best performers in the market today. However I won’t buy one until they also start being practical.

I suspect my first EV will be from one of the traditional manufacturers because they all know how to make a car with proper controls. A 30” touchscreen is cool and a nice additional way to control stuff but absolutely terrible if it’s the only way.
I’m guessing Elon Musk knows this but hoped he’d be able to make self driving work before now so that controls would be useless anyway.

Unfortunately some of the traditional makers EVs are copying the mistakes of kitchen appliance makers, substituting proper buttons, levers and knobs for touch buttons and touchscreens as well.
Most efficient & easy would probably be a nrf52840 (you can get the nrf52840dongle for $9, it has a wide voltage range and low power sleep modes and USB).

You can communicate over the 802.15.4 radio which is very low power compared to WiFi.

I'd use RIOT-OS, Zephyr has official support from Nordic, but that's what I'm familiar with: You can create a 6loWPAN network where each node gets an IPv6 address, they can communicate to the IPv6 world through a border router which would be another nRF52 Dongle where the USB serves as an USB-Ethernet Uplink that you plug into your router.

You could then use CoAP to send the data to a server somewhere (or just plain UDP) and sleep most of the time.
I was disappointed the founder's name is not actually Robert Tables.
Everyone and their children seems a bit hyperbolic. There hasn’t been an accident involving FSD beta 9, but I’m sure someone has been killed at the hands of a drunk driver today. I am failing to find any comments from you arguing for alcohol to be removed from shelves across the country? Why aren’t you pushing your regulators for that?
According to the biography on which the movie "The Imitation Game" was (very loosely) based ("Alan Turing: The Enigma"), Turing was rather direct when expressing interest in the men he knew. Much more so than I would expect for that time. There were several times where he straight up propositioned acquaintances. So it wouldn't entirely surprise me if there was an actual expression of interest in the original story.
The article mentions festivals as a "suspension of normal rules, mores, structures, and social distinction" and riots having a festive dimension. I don't know Girard's work enough to comment, but wonder if there is a connection between Girard and Temporary Autonomous Zones[1] (which Burning Man is a large scale example of)

As an aside, the article claims that online Burning Man failed because of it was too consumption based. It's not a good example since there were numerous issues including participants lacking VR headsets, userbase split up into different platforms (there was no singular "official" software), capacity constraints, etc. I tried it on burn night (Altspace VR) and the man was floating in mid-air as it was burning, so glitches too.

Should we be worried about how many more ruminants this would require, and their impact on the climate? I just saw some estimates of 90 million acres used to grow corn in the U.S., and a cow calf pair needs 1.5-2 acres to feed itself. I know we probably wouldn't maximize cows to the area for the type of growing we're talking about, but that's 45 million cows (with calfs) at the low end if we were, and I'm seeing reports we currently have ~95 million head of cattle in the U.S.

Those are all napkin numbers, or poorly sourced, and worst case, but I would love to see some good numbers on what it means to the climate to have a lot more ruminants in the farming process. (If much of current beef cattle production was moved to be dispersed along these lands, that seems like it might be a good idea for all involved though).

"Just because you touched something in a way that wasn't specifically authorized by the original manufacturer of that something doesn't make you liable for anything that something does in perpetuity unless there is evidence that it's actually your fault."

Here is a better source, but you were right, the US allows for the lawsuit of anyone that deals with Cuba effectively. The Canadian government as well as the EU do have programs to counterbalance the effects of these sanctions though.

If it looks like a scam, then false positives are unavoidable. These companies are trying to protect average people from being scammed on their services, and I would honestly prefer they keep doing this. I do not want to spend hours on the phone to the bank with a shaken grandparent again (after they get cryptoscammed).

Claiming they are against "privacy-first services" is just creating a victim narrative where one does not exist. As people keep saying here on this very website, these platforms do not owe you a microphone.

Also, just one bit of advice, most developer types will have adblockers, so you're really not going to have a great time trying to target them with adverts.
This is a great thread.

A cousin of mine, a superb programmer, is C++ fluent. As in able to express any good idea in any other language in C++ efficiently. He is deep in C++.

He knows a poet. They are critical, as he told me, of his ability to understand poetry. When I suggested he show them the lambda calculus he smiled.

We need more poetry in code as much as we need more proof in code.

I know many of us program to build, quickly and efficiently, solutions to problems, and mainly problems defined in terms of business or regulatory requirements.

Nonetheless we need more poetry in code. Terse, referential, contextualised, meaningful code that uses every suitable math technique for proofiness.

We build our future with code. Let's make beautiful code.

In a nutshell: write less read more. Risp is great.
Speaking in generalities but hackers love hard problems, and implementing a 21st century food system is the intersection of most of the biggest problems of our time- climate change, population growth, sustainable energy. The fact that the best solutions seem to involve decentralization, taking a big chunk out of the market cap of destructive megacorporations, and transferring power down the class hierarchy aligns closely with the hacker ethos as well.
Probably Google AI has decided that "encryption" and "finance" in the same sentence means "bitcoin" and banned you automatically.

I think you underestimate the build quality of the Macbook Pro, it is quite literally the best laptop ever created, if they produced them now with modern chips and monitors, developers would buy them by the thousands and possibly macos would still be the developers os of choice. I wouldn't hesitate to bring it to the outback. What do you think would happen to a macbook in Australia?
I love the idea that you have designed and made your own headphones. I'm also glad that these work for you.

However, your argument about reducing environmental waste is flawed. AirPod, in total, weigh less and use far less plastic than your design.

Given the scale of production, the raw material to final product path will be short and relatively low impact. Your process involves much more packaging, transport and middle-man costs.

Feature set wise, your design is also significantly less.

I'm very supportive of people making product that is better suited to them, but the idea of this approach being somehow less wasteful is completely ridiculous.

I hope you aren't currently leasing any vehicles. If you are, and this is your understanding of how leases work, you REALLY need to reread the contract. Tesla is in no way responsible for repairing this car under these circumstances.
Yes.

Schools stopped teaching it (even many “good” schools). People largely don’t use it except for signatures.

You say that they reject alg: none, but even auth0 got caught by alg: nOnE…

One of the main issues I have with JWT is that it has a fairly high degree of cryptographic agility rather than a version number that specifies a set of cryptographic primitives.
Self-service portal should catch this too. It’s neglect on the insurers side. They have superior information on what is normal and customary and can flag unusual policies for confirmation.
Agree, it was special in multiple ways:

- The idea that you were orbiting the planet, somehow more than 2D, yet not 3D.
- Not just shooting but also rescuing.
- The speed, fluid movement and quick reverses.
- Color and sound crucial to situational awareness.

I sometimes imagine it as a first-person game, true 3D, view from the cockpit. Wouldn’t that be something!

I had to write C for the first time to get arbitrary text scrolling across a random 4x7 seg display I had left over from another project.

I mean, for its normal load it probably consumes far less overall power to service this content than anything else you would replace it with.

From the tech specs:
Batteries: 4x AAA
Battery life: 230h

From a Google search+answer:
Energizer's AAA battery has a capacity of 1250 milliamp hours, or 1.87 watt-hours

So 4 of those can power the device for 230 hours ... that's about 32mW. For reference, a RaspberryPi 2b idles at > 1W.

> Buying 10 year old cars that are nearly fully depreciated is where you save big money.

Not in my experience. You either pay in depreciation or in maintenance, there is no escaping car expenses.

A 10 year depreciated car may need a timing belt/water pump, possible head gasket issues, possible transmission issues, etc.
So far, rewards to early adopters have been the way to bootstrap a currency that's initially useless because nobody else uses it.

Bootstrapping without that incentive would probably require promotion by some major entity like a central bank or FAANG company, which is likely to involve centralized control by that entity. I'm not convinced that's an improvement.

Maybe there's a better way. Any ideas?
I updated the README slightly, it's mentioned twice now. :)

As for performance considerations, blitsort's performance on integers is indicative of its performance on strings, while this isn't the case for pdqsort.

> How do you figure that it's cheaper to pay those additional costs than to buy?

Pushing those costs years into the future can be to my advantage. That argument applies to any loan.

Leasing also gives me the option to buy the car at the end of my term, so I can end up owning the car while deferring much of the up-front cost in exchange for interest payments.
I'm not as hopeful as you are. I shared your hope but recent revolutions as well as history have shown that the most likely result of a revolution is things becoming even worse.

Cuba has been slowly but surely allowing more democracy and more economic freedom. I think that by far the best outcome for Cuban residents is for this process to continue peacefully without the massive destruction as well as the definitive end of the embargo.
All the other FSD car companies should sue to get these off the roads since a big enough fuck-up by Tesla will set back the industry for a decade.
> I only got a few pages in but that seems to be correlational?

It's a review summarizing multiple kinds of evidence.

> Does it day somewhere specifically that the same diet and exercise regime produces worse outcomes for older people?

No; that was in response to your statement that you weren't aware of any biological factors affecting fat vs. muscle with age. I had also tried to search for studies that specifically tested diet and exercise against age while distinguishing between lean and fat body mass (as opposed to just weight gain/loss), but didn't find any. This might just be that I don't know the jargon well enough to do an effective search; I'm not an expert, I just go to the literature on these topics because it's hard to find people summarizing it who aren't cherry-picking in order to sell something.

> Perhaps I am misinterpreting your decision, but it seems like you are saying that in older people there is some inevitable tradeoff between waist circumference and lean mass, and that if one tries to lose fat they must grow weak or if one tries to grow strong they must gain fat. If older that is.

Apart from a modicum of "noob gains", it's conventional wisdom that typical adults cannot readily gain muscle without also gaining fat or lose fat without also losing muscle, due to a shared baseline of anabolic vs. catabolic signaling. The key thing that makes diet and exercise programs worthwhile for changing body composition is that that while this might be true with respect to absolute amounts, the ratios aren't set in stone. But with age, those ratios tend to shift such that fat tends to be favored more, and the ratio of visceral fat to subcutaneous fat also tends to increase (so one typically needs to be leaner overall to maintain the same amount of visceral fat). So it tends to become harder to design an effective program, and I gather that it's already fairly difficult by 35 or so.

I'm not making a claim that this is somehow written into the laws of physics (you're the one who brought words like "inevitable" and "must" into it), I'm just saying that based on my understanding of the consensus it's not at all clear that anyone really knows how to "maintain a low waist circumference and maintain muscle mass" in a way that works for most older people.
