Because the claim can't be backed by evidence. There's still a camera alone vs camera +lidar debate. But besides that it's not hard to imagine that the neural net needed to process whatever vision you need isn't powerful enough, so you need next generation GPUs/TPUs/whatever-Us. We just don't know until it's been done. But we know that the more frames you can process per second the better. We do know that the more resolution an image has the more information it has and the higher potential accuracy a network has (if you're following ViTs you'll notice people are upping the image resolution and getting better classification results).

So it's a bold claim given what we know. It's also clear that next generation hardware will be safer regardless of if the previous generation "works."

>Another interesting startup is Candela (https://candela.com/) who is taking on the problem from a similar angle; they use hydrofoils and a complex controls system to keep the hull foiling which is very low drag.

Candela is what I immediately thought of when I saw this, and looks like a much more interesting approach that I like both for boats and aircraft. There is no getting around present disadvantage in energy density for batteries vs fuel, even if efficiency helps make it a bit less bad than it'd look like on the tin. But electric drive trains have their own fundamental advantages too in terms of motor power for a given volume, lack of plumbing required, torque, etc. So the more interesting designs seem to be leaning into that to do things that just plain wouldn't be feasible with ICE/turbines. Like with aircraft NASA's X-57 concept [0], electric allows simply having a ton of little motors all over so rather then needing a large wing to try to prevent stalling (inefficient at high speed) they can simply actively force air over a thin wing then shut them all down. Or with Candela they can do interesting things with motors on small foils with the boat fully out of the water.

I'm not expert, but attacking the entire problem space from a different angle rather then just swapping engine for electric and fuel tanks for batteries seems like an interesting way to go long term. Though of course probably makes for more challenging engineering.

Me and my children have found that nearsightedness gets worse pretty quickly if we read a lot of paper-printed material. But reading from a computer screen seems much less harmful.

We also have reading glasses that are about 2 diopters weaker than our distance (driving) glasses.

Anecdotal of course. I don't know anyone else who's claimed that reading a backlit computer screen is better than reading a printed book.

I don't know how (non-backlit) e-paper compares.

I barely use email, I wish we came back to more email and letting me decide when to answer it vs "always on" immediate response Slack.
You know 17 years ago I used to work at a company that only delivered email at 5 minutes before the hour (9:55, 10:55, etc) and then didn’t deliver email at all between 9pm and sometime in the morning like 4am or 5am. It was amazing. Email from customers were delivered immediately as were internal emails if you marked it high importance (with the “!”).
The real problem is that we don’t have good examples of leaders. A lot of the examples we look for in terms of whom to emulate comes from the pop culture view of corporate America and startups. At a previous company I worked at far too many people were trying to behave like Steve Jobs and give that as an excuse for being an asshole.

Thanks for a thoughtful response! I agree more referendums would get to a better level of participatory democracy. Though on any specific issue it could still be a 51% win with 49% going away angry.

I'm not sure how blockchains makes more frequent referendums easier. Maybe harder to game the system? Apart from that it seems like a platform for regular referendums could be built without blockchains. It's still relative early days on that tech though, and amidst "Blockchain" being attached to anything anyone wants to hype, I have ended up being a bit skeptical of claims they can fit a given purpose until it goes beyond the conceptual stage.
I'm sure there's an IDE out there which will do that already without any AI. Just need to lint your code, highlight the bad stuff it finds and suggest a refactoring.

I've been using Slate heavily this year. I'm not a Slate developer, but I've read a lot of the source code, follow all the Github issues, etc., and I'm "owning an aging fork". As far as I can tell, the API instability mentioned elsehwere in this thread resulted from a nearly complete rewrite (inspired by immerjs) that launched in May 2020; for over a year since then, the API has been very stable, mainly because Ian Taylor, who wrote most of Slate, seems to have moved on to other projects (see https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/graphs/contributors)... there's still a lot of work on Slate, but it's mainly by other people who are trying to preserve the vision that Ian laid out. I ended up forking only the React part of Slate, which is officially a plugin, and massively rewriting it to support virtualized windowing, so we can work with very large possibly complicated to render documents. I also added fairly generic realtime collaboration support. This is currently used in https://cocalc.com for WYSIWYG editing of Markdown documents. I also have plans to extend my use of Slate with windowing to Jupyter notebooks and other document types.

I chose Slate over Prosemirror because the source code of Slate is Typescript written in a clear modern style, and I was able to start reading any part of it and understand it easily, whereas I find Prosemirror's core source code more difficult (this may just be a reflection of my shortcomings). I spent a lot of time initially just reading Slate PR's claiming to fix bugs, then integrating the PR's into my fork, often in a way that makes sense for my project, but likely wouldn't in general (I left helpful remarks on Github).

Slate is an interesting project, and it is comparable to Prosemirror. However, development is structured very differently at present, and I think there's little funding behind Slate, whereas the author of Prosemirror seems to have done a good job encouraging sustainable donations. I think Ian Taylor, who mainly wrote Slate, also cofounded a company called Segment.io, which is a serious startup that was recently sold to Twilio, so I don't know what his motivations are.

I have no plans to switch from Slate to Prosemirror. Getting virtualized windowing to work with Slate was quite difficult, but it's really table stakes for what I plan on doing longterm, and I don't even know where to begin to do virtualized windowing in Prosemirror.

I've always thought that given the sheer numbers involved its a given there are advanced civilizations and that the lack of detectable light communications means the following. Alien civilizations have found such a vastly superior method of communications that they have given up on electromagnetism as a method.

The thought experiment is this, if we discovered a vastly superior method of communication, we would probably switch over and abandon light. And if we turned this new 'dish' towards space and found thousands of civilizations communicating... why would we ever try to communicate with EM in space ever again?

This means that the time each civilization spends trying to communicate with EM is the time between discovering EM comms and the 'new' mechanism. The number of current alien civilizations communicating in EM are just those currently in that band, and the ratio of alien civilizations doing EM is the (average duration of this band) to the (average age of a civilization).

It would be like a civilization currently on earth, only at the level of smoke signals, trying to determine if there are other civilizations by looking for smoke on the horizon.

For programmers, sure. But for artists, QA, animators, and game designers (which collectively make up a far greater proportion of game development than programmers) not really.

He seems to have no sense of how IP law could stifle the benefit to humanity. He assumes that no matter who innovates something very useful, that it will spread to everyone's workflow. I think the host was correct to suggest that the government should fund this research, as you might be able to ensure it's available for public benefit and not "owned" (licensed?) by Atlassian or whoever it may be.

Not to mention he only describes the benefit in terms of dollars of profit to companies. Broaden your scope of the potential benefit to humanity!

Slate is architected so everything that actually involves React is in a separate plugin called "slate-react". As explained here https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate#packages there's a package called "slate" that's "Slate's core data model logic.", and there's another package called slate-react that is "React components for rendering Slate editors.". For example, I just searched npm and quicly found "slate-vue" (https://www.npmjs.com/package/slate-vue) which is Slate, but with a Vue plugin instead of React.
I don’t doubt this, but would be interested in reading the study. Would you mind sharing the link?

Edit: here’s the study: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.5616...
Do you have a link to share? I looked up "Cliff Gnu’s no BS guide to sight improvement" and "Cliff no BS guide to sight improvement" on DDG and Google and the top result is this comment, with unrelated stuff below.

Starting in April, we’re going to begin posting monthly roadmap updates as issues on our GitHub repository. These will lay out what we’re actively working on and what’s on the horizon. Our backlog includes a mix of priorities, some driven by the CLI team and the community, some which align with larger AWS goals. Our focus will be on sharing the priorities emerging from our team, which will include Github issues we are planning to work on. We will iterate on the exact format and approach for these updates as we determine what works best, but they will be at least monthly for the rest of 2021.

The writing style here just oozes AWS manager. This was probably ripped straight out of a business report. Its not surprising that this manager has posted only 1 update in May. https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/6186 . The update ends with basically we fight fires first and dev second, there are always more fires, and we are hiring. Not so much of a status update as a plea for help.
> Also keep in mind that the T+60 years conflict you're referencing, while greatly assisted by the printing press, was also greatly pushed along by the masses being told what to think by their preachers or by powerful elite looking to destabilize the status quo to their own benefit. The peasants of the peasant revolution weren't reading criticisms of the Catholic Church and coming to their own country conclusions, they were given emotional polemics by people like Storch sparking extreme levels of fanaticism.

That part seems very much apples-to-apples with what's happening now.
Some interesting links about the TiVo stuff:

> Then why bring it up?

You brought it up, buddy. I'm talking about what you said. Your reply to my quoted text was not germane to said text and its context.

I'm going to disengage from this discussion now, as there is not much more for me to say that I haven't already said, and the discussion is going in a nonproductive direction (as above). Frankly, I don't think you're doing a great job examining your own position. If you want to know more about where I stand on these issues, you can read my other comments in this thread.

I'll leave you with this: despite your continuing attestations to the contrary, data showing the dangers presented by large vehicles are not in short supply. The OP's link is an example of some; here^[1] is another example, to the effect that pickup trucks "were still 2½ times as likely to kill the driver of a car they crashed into, compared with a car colliding with another car". Look for more, if you like; if you're making a good faith effort, you'll find plenty, and you'll also find obvious gaps where we simply have not looked very hard. And if saving lives is not a "clear and compelling benefit" for you, then that's your choice, and--though it's one I disagree with--I am evidently not going to convince you otherwise.

(Or, if you believe saving lives is good but that our current status quo is already optimal and that any conceivable regulation would be counterproductive, I am similarly powerless to sway you if you will not be swayed. I honestly have no idea which it is. Looking back, you have really contributed very little constructive content to this discussion.)

> Phone companies in Japan don't do prepaid: only phone rentals by the day, or 2 year subscriptions.

Prepaid data (sans voice/SMS) have been easily accessible at reasonable prices for at least 6 years; they are now ubiquitous and can be bought at electronics stores, airports, and the occasional convenience store.

These days the 2y term requirement only applies when you get a plan with a subsidized smartphone or pocket wifi. Though you still need (IIRC) 6 month min on your stay for any subscription, so prepaid or rental is the only way if you stay for shorter. High-speed LTE data is cheap and available but SMS/voice is nigh impossible for non-long-term-residents (which is extra problematic given how practically everything/everyone in Japan assume you can provide a Japanese voice number they can call, and LINE does age verification through your mobile provider).
Yeah, although I get the feeling that at least ECS/Fargate will fall behind EKS as the EKS ecosystem matures (not so sure about the GCP world).
I don't know if I'm oversimplifying, but for the relatively small number of countries that the Playdate is shipping to, I wonder if it would have been possible to hardcode the shipping rates into Shopify, and not have to use a plugin, which was one of the weak links during today's launch?

Or are shipping and tax rates so complex, and there are so many different ones (depending on state/province) that it's stricly impossible to do this without a plugin?

> No, you want to live in society.

You don't know what I want.

> Being part of a society means, to some extent, accepting that many things which affect you every day are outside of your control and will be decided by someone else.

No it doesn't. You have shown zero proof to back up this statement. It is 100% completely possible to have a completely voluntary society. There is no reason force needs to be used to have a society. It even has a name: anarchy.

This is just the way your world view has been shaped by the status quo and where you grew up. Your mind is closed friend. Society doesn't require government.

> No, you want the benefits of society without being a contributor to it.

Again, you don't know me or what I want.
I’m not an accountant but the idea that content development should be counted in COGS seems way wrong to me. The whole point of COGS is that it should be subtracted from revenue since you have to pay it for every unit sold. Duolingo’s content isn’t like that— once they build out a lesson it can be served for free to any number of customers. Saying it should be counted as COGS because it’s expensive is to erase the whole idea behind COGS.

A decade later, so the situation is different. Nonetheless I disagree. The flexibility raw provides for fixing it later is amazing. “Rescuing” a poorly exposed image from RAW can be like pulling a rabbit from a hat. The JPG just explodes.

One key difference: RAW files aren’t much bigger, but our SD cards have gone up a unit, from MB to GB. Our network connections and storage speeds are up 10x as well.

A second key difference: much more stability in formats. Longer generations, DNG means you’re unlikely to encounter anything too weird anymore.
