Because it's effective I guess? A couple hours of successful interrogation can save tens or hundreds of hours of investigation. And one of their main goals is to elicit information that can be independently confirmed. For example, if someone confesses to a shooting and tells the police where they hid the gun, and the gun is found there, that's a good indication that the confession was probably legitimate.

Edit: Geez, I was just answering the question... At the end of the day, it's up to society to determine whether it thinks the effectiveness of the method is worth the potential moral hazard of false confessions under pressure. In my opinion, there does need to be better policy for police departments to assign little weight to confessions with zero corroboration that cannot even accurately describe the facts of the case.

In case it wasn't a rhetorical question, Crew Dragon does not have an airlock that would allow for a suited astronaut to leave the craft while maintaining atmosphere inside it. Plus, a big thing missing is a manipulator arm, such as Canadarm, which was used to capture the telescope, and essentially make the shuttle and telescope one body.

I am not a Switch owner - surprisingly, I don't think I've even held one - (I am a pretty big fan of Nintendo consoles) - and I know there is some sort of motion control support in the JoyCons? I wasn't sure the extent to which the motion would be required for game play.

I figure in Smash, Kart, etc; it doesn't matter, but I'm just curious how deeply the motion controls affect the gameplay on average in Switch games. :)
And what views would those be specifically?

Twitter suspended Jason Whitlock for tweeting "Black Lives Matter founder buys $1.4 million home in Topanga, which has a black population of 1.4%. She's with her people!"

They suspended the Chinese virologist Li-Meng Yan for supporting the COVID lab leak theory.

They blocked sharing the Hunter Biden story (for which they later apologized, after it blew up despite their efforts to suppress it).

So while the implication you're making is obvious, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. The evidence shows that social media companies censor people for political reasons.

No, I think you’re confusing literal taking by the government, with a private action of eviction backed by government enforcement. The government generally isn’t the one to initiate an eviction action, it’s the owner, bank, etc.
This is a really interesting and thoughtful read, thank you.

I'm curious why solutions that satisfy those bulleted items you mention don't exist? Whether for dating or opportunity-talent-matchmaking.

My hunch is that there's some perverse incentives that keep us stuck in a local maxima. I don't use any of the dating apps, but I would think it's fair to say that the popular apps and networks are an extremely soul-sucking, relentless grind.... but yet, they stay popular, and innovative alternatives aren't really taking off en masse. Why?

I guess here are a few thoughts:

- This reflects the absolutely massive asymmetries and inequalities that infect everything. It sometimes seems like there is no "average" anymore - everything is bi-modal. There are the FAANG total comps, and the total comps of everyone else - with a huge gap between them. Massive wealth gap for people have have been invested in real estate and/or stocks for a while, and those that have not been. And in dating: The massive gap in desirability between young or attractive women - and everyone else (for example, it's not like an attractive 25-year-old woman gets twice as many messages as, say a 25 year old male.. she'll get literally a thousand times more)

- In a globalized, massive, and mostly anonymous marketplace, there is little incentive to constrain oneself to cooperate. And this includes preferring free-for-all networks over ones that "enforce" cooperation. For recruiters: I suppose spamming endlessly, while not pleasant, is probably a local maxima. Being a cooperative agent (reducing spam, investing more in each possible connection) just reduces their chances of getting a catch. I'd imagine a similar things for males in a dating market.
Something similar to the Switch.

I don't think it does. But what's to stop the whole (limited) crew from suiting up (without MMUs), slowly venting the interior air, doing the EVA, then returning and re-pressurizing the atmosphere from interior tanks? My guess is it's just uncertified for that procedure, not that it's impossible. And there's no recourse if one of the suits fail.
In the USA at least, you can't choose to be born there, but you can choose to be involved with the democratic process and even vehemently criticize the government at all levels. Not quite the same in China.

A number of years ago, I fell into a YouTube rabbit hole on this topic. Many people think, "I've not done anything, I'll help this cop because it is the right thing to do." And that is naive. There is a risk present and you increase your personal risk the more you talk. I've shown my kids the scene in Making a Murderer where they lie to the kid and feed him lines to they can convict. They know if there is an emergency to call 911. They have also been told to not talk to cops outside of needing assistance.

> While there were issues with the Bulldozer design itself from a deep pipeline perspective etc, the other factor in it's lukewarm lifetime (especially the first couple gens) was issues with GloFo's processes even back then.

I think no process could have saved Bulldozer for AMD, it truly was a deeply flawed design IMO, but yep GloFo certainly didn't help. I think my "uncharitable" take was a bit too kind considering.

Specifically in the case of AMD, GloFo relied early on on guaranteed income from AMD through the Wafer Supply Agreement which was stupidly tight (my understanding is that it was part of the deal of selling to Mudabala, though exact details are not public), included a massive volume of must buy from AMD, and didn't include any penalties for GloFo missing deadlines or having their processes underperforming. They definitely coasted on this and I should probably have mentioned this above, since it led to many of their issues going forward till 14nm.

It took them years to manage to loosen the WSA up, the last step was (if I recall correctly ?) loosening the CPU core exclusive that I believe was part of it (they had a carve out for GPUs which were built at TSMC at the time of the sale, though that was supposed to be phased out if my memory is correct, before it was renegociated and AMD moved the low end GPUs there instead, except maybe one gen?).

To their credit, AMD pretty much never bad mouthed GloFo in public. Managing to do the original Ryzen at GloFo and getting as much out of the 14 process that they did is, I think, one of the most underrated engineering tour de force from those who worked on that. While supposedly "copied exact" from Samsung, it wasn't exactly fully there at the time.

I did read that the last renegotiated WSA between AMD and GloFo is supposed to be going on till 2024 (?) currently, so if this goes through, I hope there's a "in case of sale" carve out, if just so anyone can save face a bit ;)

(and that would be a pretty large unburden from AMD in any case, which makes the whole thing even more ironic)
Interesting take. But when looking for a job sometimes your 'network' is a good place too look.

I personally have worked with many people. Some are on my 'just hire them, dont worry about it list'. There are others on my 'do not hire them ever they will destroy any group they end up in' list. There are also 'yeah they will do ok, but meh' list. I personally put myself in the 3rd list.

I also am no longer interested in sharing that info for free to companies that are trying to break into the same space as linkedin.

Hiring is broken big time. But this does not look like it fixes much. The real issue in many companies is a lack of understanding from HR what the manager needs. Even sometimes the manager does not even really know. Or HR has an ideal they want and think there are other qualities that 'fit the form'. From someone who is hiring how would this system cut out the cruft of 'ok I have a random resume sent in how do I know it is any good?' No amount of internet points helps me say 'yeah that is a good one'.

This is why you should never expose your database IDs to the customer. They just complain about it, and it invites them wanting to assign meaning and have control over the values.
From my experience reading US patents/applications, they aren't just vague like that. They start out specific and then add additional claims which expand it. So they will have some claim about a cart with a specific number of wheels, but in later claims they'll add language to generalize so any number of wheels are covered. There are also figures and detailed descriptions which are separate from the claims which aim to make clearer. Pretty much any one I have read seems to make it clear enough create the device.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question... but what on earth is the center of the universe? Must there even be such a concept? If the universe is truly infinite, I would think that implies it can be both expanding and centerless at the same time.

I'm confused by how there can be 'violent speech', I don't believe there can be. I believe there can be aggression, but I do not think there can be physical damage done by words alone.

The paranoid in me ponders if this abuse of terminology is part of an effort to classify speech as violence, meaning that something that 'hurts the feelings' is classified as assault.
I'm pretty sure the pitch here is "a robotic being with human perception, dexterity, and manipulation, but who doesn't breathe air and never gets tired."

So the idea is that you don't need to specialize it to the thing it's meant to work on, because it works on whatever a human works on. A similar idea drove a lot of the DARPA Robotics challenge, with its emphasis on being able to drive a normalish vehicle, open a door, climb a ladder, use a regular power tool, etc.

Anyway, I think the state of the art for all this is still pretty far away, which is why the instinct is to assume we're talking about something specialized.

Or we could build a cheaper telescope that is less redundant more quickly, and launch a new one every 5 years. Launch prices are falling, so this could be more economical than building expensive long-lasting telescopes.

Unfortunately, that advice isn't great, either. The police have the authority to arrest you for pissing them off. They may not be able to charge you with anything, but they can make your day a lot worse before releasing you. And there is basically nothing you can do about it.

If a police officer pulls you over and you start pulling the "I've been told never to talk to the police", you're escalating the encounter before it even starts. That's no excuse for police abusing their authority, but they've got the authority and you don't.

Lawyers have told me to use your best judgment. Cooperate as long as the police are being cooperative, and the odds are you'll go about your day with only minor aggravation. Only escalate to the "I don't talk to police" when they start getting hostile with you. This is, I'm told, what the lawyers themselves do.

This is for minor encounters, like traffic stops or ordinary questions. If you're actually taken in or you're a suspect, yeah, shut up and wait for your lawyer.

And, uh, this is the advice they give to me as a white man. It may not apply if you're somebody more likely to be subject to abuse.

None of this is good. It's very, very bad. This advice is not about fairness; it's about trying to make your life as least-worst as possible.
I agree with your logic but would add one more thing to it: There is no compelling reason to wait until a planet conclusively proves it has intelligence on it to nuke it into oblivion with a kinetic kill projectile. You don't really know how long it will take for an intelligent species that could compete with you to arise. Humans have moved pretty quickly on cosmological scales, there's no particular reason to believe we're moving at the max speed and a lot of reason to think otherwise. Compared to the amount of energy you can obtain over cosmological time periods, the expenditure of a kinetic kill projectile is nothing.

In fact, if you don't mind waiting a bit, it can be almost trivial. All you have to do is basically get a factory to the target system; it can use local resources to build a kinetic kill projectile efficiently out of a big, local hunks of rock and local hydrogen. Launching near-light-speed projectiles from lightyears away is the emergency "oh crap! They're smart already!" option. Killing a planet that only has dinosaurs on it is dead easy for these hypothetical intelligences and there's little reason to believe they wouldn't.

So I think the dark forest hypothesis falls down on the fact that not only has Earth been broadcasting loud and clear to the stars that it has life on it ever since the Great Oxygenation Catastrophe, which was somewhere around 2 to 2.5 billion years ago, the Dark Forest theory implies that any surrounding intelligence that arose and was capable of seeing Earth on that time frame should have hit it. That has not happened. And 2.5 billion years is actually significant even on cosmological time scales.

(Also, no, the dinosaur asteroid or other events were not kill projectiles. If an alien intelligence is going to kill-projectile Earth there's no compelling reason to just sort of inconvenience life... it's going to eliminate it. Hypothesizing a race capable of launching projectiles but being too stupid to realize it wouldn't do the job is too precise a level of incompetence to believe in. As they say, there's no kill like overkill.)

Fun science fiction premise... not a solution to the Fermi paradox.

Privacy isn't dead, we've just made it very expensive.

However I'd take it a step further than the author who says it's a signifier to say that, now, privacy is class. (with the cavet that class is multi-dimensional, and not a scalar hierarchy) I've written to the effect before that Apple's iPhone is entry into the middle class because the values encoded in its aesthetics and features separate you from being a worker to being a "creative." This was the vision Jobs sold - that you too could become a sophisticated beturtlenecked urbane architect designer offering valuable insights and observations if you bought this product. The iPhone and its (excellent) privacy and security features elevate you from the problems of office stiffs unsticking printer jams to a world where you don't have to think about that stuff and can focus on your beautiful thoughts without needing to struggle. "It just works." - so you don't have to. Sure it's expensive, but nobody who has one notices. In a microcosm, that's what class difference can feel like. That is, wealth is what you have, but class is what you don't need.

Having privacy means you don't have to spend effort to manage your public persona. The (S)mart people I know do engage social media just enough to be unremarkable, but no more.

I'm not that smart, though my own approach to privacy has not been strong anonymity with opsec either, because the effort to live in-effect as a fugitive just elevates your percieved antagonists to an equal, or in the case of state actors, elevates ourselves to imagining ourselves as super villain threats.

Privacy to me now means actively choosing how to relate to technology and people, with a sense of a personal perimeter of calm that I value, and maintaining personal privacy means I can have things that are mine to share, and that creates value for others. With that in mind, you can just set a low bar and costs to keep out of the way of dragnets and spam.

To have had the knowledge that privacy was an issue at all has meant both having a sense of (often, ridiculous) self importance that I was no mere "user," and spending a great deal of time understanding technology, at a time when access to it was more rare. So from the outside, privacy looks like a class signal. From the inside, privacy is the necessary condition to bring intentional value to relationships, and the people who would take it from you are basically petty thieves - a fact of life in any human environment.

Sure, the Zucks, Jacks, Sundars and NSA's of the world get my information and stuff, but their problems are things I just do not have.
I think originally it was primarily about developer ergonomics - here's the first thing I ever read about them in 2007 where they tested it on Tony Hawk Pro Skater (http://cowboyprogramming.com/2007/01/05/evolve-your-heirachy...). The CPU/memory management has been an on-going discussion ever since! Being able to process domains as flat arrays helps with cache misses - but there is a lot of other overhead, depending on how you designed everything.

Making it performant was one of the big problems initially, and it seems like the `Component Graph System` this thread is about trying to answer "how do systems efficiently process components?"... But I don't really get how it answers that actually.
