> I'm saying FSD only works on 90%-99% of cases

This is an extremely bold claim. You're also ignoring the fact that driving is an extremely heavy tailed distribution. We know that both processing heavy tailed distributions is difficult (not training, but pre-processing) as well as we see a strong correlation between larger networks and performance on heavy tailed distributions (more normal like distributions can get away with substantially smaller networks). But larger networks means more MACs. More MACs means slower inference. There's still a tradeoff between accuracy and speed. In driving you need both.

> Are you really saying that FSD will never work?

No one here is saying that. Everyone here is calling you out on your BS that we _know_ that FSD will work on _current_ hardware. We don't _know_ that. Maybe it will, but it's not a pony I'm willing to put money on.
What does this have to do with his post? You seem to be implying that this post is some kind of ham-fisted defense of wealth inequality in cryptocurrency, but that's not what it says at all.
Yeah but, the solution to your great problem is to write the authoritative server, so I would recommend you just do that in the first place. It's not really any extra work if you are starting a new project. (An authoritative server is just a headless client after all :) )
I’m every stereotype of queer and ADHD and autistic, when it comes to posture. Good for you that it serves you well but my body needs back support and a thousand places to put my legs :)
Conservatives are vaccinating at a fraction of the rate they should be, and it's pretty much directly attributable to directed misinformation. Yeah, I think there's plenty of evidence to suggest misinformation works, and it's potentially extremely damaging. How many more people have died due to Covid because of people downplaying the virus? We still have Trump supporters claiming it's not real.
On top of that, the rich make most of their purchases through corporations, which means that in practice not much would change.

With any “fair” taxation scheme you always have to ask who pays less and who pays more. Whenever I dig into these schemes it’s always one of the middle groups of tax payers who end up paying more.
I feel that a free and open tool that allows you travel through the 4th and 5th dimensions with your code is very useful, especially when everyone tends to forget what they've written several months ago. It's also a tool that forces you to document your changes.

Is it possible to climb a mountain without equipment? Sure, but it's a lot more dangerous and it'll take you longer to reach your goal.

Calling getting vaccines and wearing masks indoors "locking the whole country down indefinitely" is definitely hyperbolic. Is the germ theory of disease really not common sense anymore?
It’s great how everyone works so differently. When I am alone, working from home, I can’t find a proper mental break anywhere and everything becomes a mess and I eat worse. Having a physical work/life split makes me cook more food, learn more recipes, and gives me a constant fresh look at my home and items to make sure it’s clean and tidy.

In the WFH situation it’s suddenly 20:00 and I’m starving and just look to snack or even go so far as to order food, but when I work away from home I have the train ride back to browse which supermarket I’ll shop at and message with a friend on how and what we’ll each be making.
Why would it be stable? Falling interest rates and rising asset prices in other markets mean that many more people are able to afford higher-priced homes than even a few short years ago. No overseas scapegoats required.
You really don't have to guess, the "How it works" page addresses that with the "prebate". Up to the poverty level is probably a bit too low, but at least that's being considered.

You seem quite eager to get the pitchforks out since it doesn't attempt to solve the tax problem in an extreme (your) way.
Sure. I still think there could be a standard format that includes that information. Note, I'm saying such a format should exist, not that it currently does. As I understand it, RAW is really a collection of a bunch of different proprietary formats where every camera company has their own variant, and even different cameras from the same company have slightly different formats.
> It should be possible to feed a bunch of raw files to a program and get back a) the exact same jpeg that the camera would have produced

Why? The camera applied a very opinionated algorithm to get that jpeg. Your RAW editor is a very large set (virtually infinite) of opinions on how to produce a JPG. Why hyper-focus on getting the exact same jpeg as the one the camera produced? And if you really want that, why not just shoot JPEG?

> b) an even better jpeg than the camera would have produced,

For sure, many RAW photographers will claim they do have default settings that produces better JPEGs than the camera does. However, better is very subjective.

> But the market doesn't really care apparently.

Shorter term the market is frequently irrational and inefficient, highly susceptible to wild swings in investor emotion and speculation (see: meme stocks, aka high-flying pump & dump stocks, which existed 30-40 years ago too). You get rich in the market by taking advantage of how predictable and unchanging human behavior is. The market is made up of emotional humans, most of which struggle to be rational about very simple investment decisions. They frequently panic sell and panic buy. They fear standing alone above all else, so they sell when everybody else sells, and they chase-buy when everybody else is chasing (FOMO prompts remarkably foolish behavior when it comes to investing and speculating). Even the supposed pros on Wall Street are overwhelmingly mediocre when it comes to making rational investment decisions, and very prone to chasing fads (and getting buried by them), which is why their track records are so often subpar. They're consensus machines terrified of their own shadows (nobody ever got fired for buying IBM, same mental concept but applied to portfolio management), so they inevitably consensus slink down below the S&P500 average.

There isn't a single prominent US stock of the past ~50 years that has floated perpetually at an extreme valuation without delivering the goods. Often hitting expectations just gets you years of compression regardless, after having pulled results forward from so far into the future (Microsoft more than tripled in size and the stock went sideways for 15 years; compression). Tesla has to continue to deliver, or else. Short-term people lose sight of this fact of market history, that no stock actually escapes reality. They get caught up in thinking whatever the context is today that it'll continue to be the context. That was true in the speculations of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and it's just as true today. Short-term often feels longer than it really is. A few years is short-term, not long-term.

Name any of the prominent hyper valuation tech stocks from the 1990s or 2000s that didn't either deliver on the growth promise (AMZN, GOOGL, NFLX, etc), implode (long list of dotcoms as one group example, or eg solar stocks from the commodity bubble of 2006-2008), or compress/stagnate sideways for many years (MSFT, INTC, CSCO, ORCL, etc). No stock escapes reality, they all ultimately have to deliver or else. Tesla won't be different.

Tesla is floating on immense expectations that they'll eventually become larger than companies like Toyota. And they're also floating on their significant growth in recent years (that's obviously the fuel for investors that keeps them believing the longer term story). Either they continue to deliver on growth expectations, or the consequences to the stock are obvious - the market cares very much about whether they continue to deliver.
I love Dwarf Fortress and play it quite actively. I've been using Vim as my primary IDE for many years. That said, I wouldn't compare Dwarf Fortress to Vim.

Vim is mainly difficult to get into because the model itself is so different from what people are used to and there's inherent complexity. But, quirks aside, it's mostly very consistent and learning a few patterns will get you very far.

In Dwarf Fortress you need to fight not only incredible complexity, but also so very much bad UI/UX and inconsistencies between what should have been identical actions. A great example is searching a list of items. This is done with q for query. Or sometimes s for search. And in some cases f for filter. Or even better, the way k, v, t, q, are all just needles variants of "look at thing under cursor". And none of them work for some activity zones such as pastures, then you need i.

As much as I love DF I'm very much looking forward to the Steam version, mainly for the UI overhaul, which is so far looking really promising.
I have one of these whispernet and I did use the kindle + experimental browser + gmail as form of communication while abroad, and it was great that it had the built in proxy. But many years ago it stopped working in China.
There seems to be this pervasive myth that conservatives are being censored on sites like Facebook. That's at odds with the fact that far right misinformation still dominates those websites. Just what evidence would be sufficient to convince conservatives that they aren't being unduly censored?

> “Republicans, or more broadly conservatives, have been spreading a form of disinformation on how they're treated on social media. They complain they’re censored and suppressed but, not only is there not evidence to support that, what evidence exists actually cuts in the other direction,” said Paul Barrett, deputy director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, which released the report Monday.
New Zealand has cheap credit problem. I personally know folks who have seven to eight houses and they want to buy even more. I mean real estate is the biggest industry in this country, what else can we expect. I am personally so fed up with all this that I am planning to go to Australia next year, yeah it's crazy there, but at least there's a glimmer of hope that I can buy a house there and pay less taxes.
Since you clearly know more than me what your talking about, is it correct to interpret the significance of china's quantum satellite communication as one of quantum cryptography (based on states changing post measurement) rather than potential high speed communication?
> A great example are the rubber rooms where they have to put bad teachers because the union forbids them from being fired.

Actually teachers in those were those who had been accused of misconduct and then either they were awaiting arbitration, mostly because the state wasn't paying their agreed proportion of arbitration fees, or arbitration had cleared them and the state wasn't returning them to their jobs as agreed. Some may have been bad teachers but most were just people the admins had taken a dislike to. Blaming the unions for that is pure propaganda.

If idiots want to pour their millions into worthless concrete to inevitably lose everything when the wave of free money from central banks recedes, leaving innumerous almost free homes in the market for everyone to buy - why any sane person should object?

Notice that there is no comparable craze on the stock market. P/E has gone somewhat up sure but it's just out of anticipation of record corporate profits in the coming quarters - which is not unjustified given rampant inflation and deficit of everything which everyone is now making tons of money trying to fill.

Because smart people never invest in real estate (at least not in residential real estate, especially not in single family, detached houses).

In Russia, we have a proverb - "best thing to do about fools is not trying to stop them".
I deleted WhatsApp a while ago so can't say right now. It is a pretty mature app that hasn't added big features in years I think, so I wouldn't expect a lot of bugs in it, but take a look at their version history on App Store, there are plenty of purely bug fix releases only this year.
LibRaw is great, BTW.
Your reply is somewhat self-contradictory. If games are interactive simulations by nature, why is DF so unusual? There is a trend to call many modern games "immersive sims" and somehow they don't produce such stories.

In my opinion game developers have mostly stopped trying to simulate things. The focus is on clothes, rigid crafting systems, skill trees, storyline, cutscenes, vehicles, item collection. It's sandboxes, not simulations. Does Witcher 3 have emergence? Does GTA?

Compare that to Bullfrog, a game company which made simulations almost exclusively. In the 90's "simulation" was a game genre.

Exultant (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exultant is a science fiction novel by British author Stephen Baxter. It is part two of the Destiny's Children series. The book was published by Victor Gollancz Ltd in September 2004.
Overview
Much of the book is written as large sections of prose explaining theoretical exotic-matter physics. Baxter also sketches the evolution of the Xeelee and an imaginary history of the universe in which life is ubiquitous even under the most extreme conditions.
You forgot the jellyfish, bluebottles and scorpions. Even the platypus is venomous!
If all I care about is a quick JPEG with little to no edits - that's what my phone is for. I use my DSLR when I want fairly high quality, which means I'm willing to spend the time to edit in RAW.
ConnectorX is the fastest tool that helps you to load data from databases to dataframes in Python. You will get up to 10x speed up as well as with 3x less memory consumption for loading data from databases to Pandas, by simply changing pandas.read_sql to connectorx.read_sql!
Survey seems pretty flawed and potentially biased. The survey was done by a contractor/home improvement company so maybe they used customer's as their population?

While SWEs might need/want a good desk setup, many office jobs just don't need it. I'm not sure people are really improvising but rather find sitting with a laptop is how they normally work anyway.

And working in the bedroom can be misleading... it's often a private place you can put a proper desk.

I WFH and went from living alone to having 3 roommates who all WFH. I have my bed, desk, and theater setup all in the (master bedroom). It's actually better than a 1bdr apartment, it's quieter (no leafblowers!) and I don't have dirty dishes right behind me.

I have a small desk but a 4K 32" monitor and a vertical 1080p one. A microphone on an arm and NO webcam; I use screen sharing 90% of the time but I don't need to see peoples faces. (I really wish video calling didn't compress >1080p screens so much). If I need a webcam, I use my laptop.

Maybe the pandemic changed things but you could get decent chairs for $20 at goodwill.

I guess I'm just skeptical that a majority of people have difficulty working from their home... You know the place you live and pick your own furniture.
It also helped that Google, by-and-large, were doing extremely good things. For all the complaints about the (very real) problems the internet has today, I think people have lost sight of how much the internet sucked in 1997.

There's a website you loved, but you forgot the URL? Good luck ever finding that again. Want to watch a video? Hope you've got an updated QuickTime plug-in and a lot of time to wait for the shitty webhost to serve a 240p video at 80B/s. Your daughter just emailed you a few photos of your grandchildren? Better delete the last 5 years of your conversation history to make space for it - Hotmail and Yahoo! only offered 10MB of storage before Gmail launched with 100x that. Want to monetise your blog? Hope you're happy with your readers getting malware, because every ad service out there is insanely shady.
That retroid definitely has much worse marketing than the playdate. I read through the retroid website, and don't really know what it is. She sort of Android tablet with physical buttons? The Website mentions ROMs, but for what? Does it like come preloaded with some sort of game boy emulator?

That's not necessarily true though; you could very well implement containers as lightweight VMs that use their own specific kernels, though the image itself doesn't contain any. Thinking in terms of containers vs VMs is missing the mark a bit.
Shooting the Milky Way. FF sensors have less noise, and it's easier/cheaper to do wide angle on them - both of which are crucial to a good Milky Way shot.

In general, FF is better for wide angle (e.g. 14mm).

To a lesser extent - if you want a really narrow DOF, it's easier with FF sensors.

Otherwise - no real benefit.

Nearly every country in the world has at least one mobile network that has a roaming agreement with Deutsche Telekom. They have negotiated rates at high volumes in the cents/GB regardless of local pricing shenanigans.

DT is often the local cell providers gateway for international calling, so they have quite a bit of leverage.
Agreed. Fuji are film experts - experts in presenting a human-consumable photograph. So I’ve learned the film simulations and choose when I shoot. So yes, I “shoot RAW” and let the Fuji experts post-process this in-camera.

Yeah all you need now is an IRD number, a NZ bank account or a corporation. All 3 you can setup without setting foot in the country. To those that say that's not possible, it very much is. There's little checks and balances, and COVID's made it even easier.

It's lip service and the government does nothing to help track it. The most investigative journalism that's gone into it was a few years where people tried to look up owners of holding companies and based the research on people's last names. You can imagine how well that last bit went down in the media.

Well, our trust privacy laws are very strict - so it's near impossible to tell who actually owns the companies if it's director is fronted by a corporate holding firm. These are used to protect property in the event of bankruptcies and debts, but can also be used to hide your residency.

>>Where are you getting this information that school districts may seriously renege on pension contracts?

Pensions are either from taxes(Now who is going to pay that on properties where people stay for free?), or from profits made in investments in larger economy. Where do the profits come from? People who borrow money to run businesses(which now have no profits, and are running on losses because people stay for free).

Read that all in reverse. The effects will be felt all over the economy.
In Finland I can buy a prepaid and unlimited 200 Mbps for 25€ a month or 7.90€ a week. In Thailand I get $2.10 for 10GB / 5 days or $1 for unlimited 24 hour 8Mbps. In Cambodia basically any data package is around $1 / GB with month validity, but usually with all the promotions and extra data they throw in it ends up being much cheaper. Vietnam is so cheap it's basically free, first package I checked was $1.30, 7GB for 7 days.
Is your extension collecting email addresses? I got an email after trying it out.
That's an incorrect explanation. I find the envelope analogy to be the clearest.

I have two cards, a red card and a blue card. I have only one of each. I put each into a totally opaque envelope. I have created an entangled pair.

I give you an envelope and you pay SpaceX a few million dollars for a trip to Mars. You have an equal probability of having a red or blue card in your envelope.

Once you settle in on Mars and recover a bit from bone and muscle density loss from six months in zero-g you open your envelope. You have the red card. You've just measured the state of the entangled pair.

You instantly know I have the blue card but your measurement didn't cause some FTL communication. Because our entangled pair had exclusive states you gain some instant knowledge of my envelope contents. While that's a cool effect it still required classical slower-than-light transmission of the envelope. I also have no knowledge that you opened your envelope until I receive your classical communication saying so.

Even if you were just across the room the information about the color of your card would still only travel at the speed of light. Even though you could instantly know the state of my card once you know yours you can only communicate that knowledge to me at the speed of light.
Mind the trees too, the stinging ones. Dendrocnide genus.

Free web browsing when international + e-mail access through gmail. The proxy used to be able to get you through the Great Firewall of China...but that stopped after some years.

This. China has no safe place for people to save the money that they have made, by whatever means. Anywhere you put it in there, it can go away in an instant if the government wants to take it away from you. We don't understand this in the west, but whatever you have, in some countries, is fair game for people with friends in high places. It's not just China, but Russia and many other countries are like this. If you make enough money to pique the jealousy of the wrong person, You will end up in jail and your savings grabbed.

Long term it's a good thing for the money to go into western real estate. Its value in the global market is being correctly recognized. Short term it is bad for local home buyers who end up priced out of the market.
Breakout is a great candidate for a toy game. As is snake. I often make Breakout clones to familiarise myself with new systems.

If you're looking to get things done fast I think Unity is an excellent choice. After coming from years of working with custom engines and Frostbite, Unity feels like such a breeze.

As for r/gamedev I'm quite active there myself and while I like it and it's gotten a lot better recently it still has an issue where it's largely hobbyists and inexperienced indie developers. Their uninformed opinion will often drown out more qualified voices. So take information there with a grain of salt.
