I'm always hesitant to lock into solutions like these because they may not always be offered on the same terms.

For example, recently when they had to reduce access to GitHub Actions because miners were abusing it.

There is so much to it that you have to pick where to start. If you have never done C#, definitely start there. But then you can branch off to web development, service development, back-end data access development, and much more.

Reasons those arcade games requiring (or giving benefit) for NFC (like Paseli by Konami):

* Game company want to collect money more from arcade shop.

* Managing many coins aren't easy task.

* Consumption tax is raised from 5% to 10% in past decade, but coin (100 JPY) game can't apply the raised tax precisely.

* Flexible play options thanks to ability of flexible pricing

* Anyway most player want to save game progress

But coldly treating coin user is bad for newcomer. Maybe general credit card NFC payment solves some problem, but it's not well accessible for teenages in Japan.
The presentation was hilarious. He didn't even know what to say about it, just threw the slide up and a little dancing human in a robot outfit.

Just another distraction I think they threw into the agenda at the last minute. Won't be the first vaporware at these Tesla media days (has anything presented at these ever happened?)
> Because for whatever reason (hubris?) Tesla insists on eschewing LIDAR/RADAR for 100% camera based systems.

It's a retrofit problem. The moment you admit that you need LIDAR/RADAR, every Tesla on the road loses value unless you're willing to retrofit them all.

Comma.ai has sidetracked this issue by basically using the built-in sensors on the vehicles, and there's rumors of a camera-only version for those without radar coming in the future. This would allow any car that has fly by wire with steering control to use it for "level 2 autonomy"
I've always heard it as "rich site summary," which was back in the early 2000s.
So, is there a market for a credit card that caters to these things?
I'll start giving a shit about chicken little science again when world leaders stop conspicuously withholding real information from the public. If we're hearing about it, it's a marketing campaign with an ulterior motive. Wake me up, for instance, when someone wants to explain the UFOs harrassing militaries.

Why would I even read this article? I do not fucking care.
I think you are right, and together with mining fees, dilution, negative attention from governments, block confirmation times, exchanges that aren't CME going bust, etc. mean it's generally not a very useful commodity.

However, one thing that should be mentioned is that Bitcoin is expected to increase in value. I don't mean that in a trader sense or that you should buy it; I mean Bitcoin futures are in contango(i.e. priced higher than the commodity) so you can lock in a risk-free profit by 1. Buying Bitcoin and 2. Selling a future. Specifically, the spot price is currently $47,150 while the September 2021 futures are $47,340 for a profit of $190 or about 4.8% annualized.

So currently, any financial institution would have a strong incentive to denominate any escrow accounts in Bitcoin for times of less than 4 months(there's not as much liquidity further out). I believe this is what's happening here: Regulators ask questions if banks buy the Bitcoin themselves, but if it's in escrow on behalf of your customers it's more acceptable.

Conversely, customers should prefer to pay in USD, because paying in Bitcoin is equivalent to either a short position(if they sell their Bitcoin and never buy any again) or an expected cost of 5% interest due to (directed) volatility.

So the original claim that it has "no impact at all" is probably too strong, but a 5% interest rate is not what people mean when they reference Bitcoin's wild price swings i.e. volatility: The capital appreciation/loss can be accounted for if you really want to.

Note: I'm not recommending this strategy, just attempting to calculate carrying costs in the context of a mortgage lender holding Bitcoin in escrow.
It's not just about skill. A lot of accidents are under the influence. That's a choice. While you can't control what other drivers are doing (and neither can the Tesla), you can at least significantly increase your odds of safety by some simple choices such as this.
There's a whole section on the memory implications: "Another change, which created a bit of controversy over the life of the patch, disables hibernation when a secret memory area is active."

Based on that, I doubt they ignored the problem of swap space. My guess is that the region of memory is designated unswappable, as was already possible before.

It's a more operational question. In a year or two I plan to have all newly deployed servers with nft instead of iptables.
So I would naturally expect to use the same nft commands to troubleshoot 'classic' servers and k8s nodes what sit on the same 'classic' servers - we run k8s on bare hardware.
I would love to see reddits real internal financial reports. I'm wonder if they've ever actually turned a profit...
So ... maybe they don't want to go for LIDAR (in their cars), because they wanted to build a humanoid robot anyway and felt that a LIDAR on a mobile platform's head is infeasible (?) - so they skipped the sensor fusion problem, and want to solve the harder problem first.

... and maybe go back to LIDAR later? Just guess work.
These are not new developments. Plenty of arcade games (Midnight Maximum Tune, Jubeat, Ghost Squad to name a few) had these features well before the 2010s. They might have become more mainstream as of late because the casual audience have mostly dried up thanks to mobile games and arcade owners need to make their money back from the more dedicated players.
Thank you for saying this. People, including doctors and other mental health professionals, that I have met with are completely awestruck when I mention my experiences with medication not being something short of divine intervention.

Does it matter? Fusion doesn't have the same power per unit volume as fission in order to be usable on a ship, it just has to be good enough to be usable in that application: i.e. able to produce maybe in the neighborhood of a couple hundred kilowatts continuously without being overly bulky or expensive.

There might be limits though on how small the reactor can be made. ARC is apparently meant to produce hundreds of megawatts, which sounds like it maybe be two or three orders of magnitude more powerful than what even a large container ship would use for propulsion. SPARC is a physically smaller reactor, but not intended for continuous or long-term use. If the basic design works out, probably the first real-world designs will be optimized for utility power generation, where size doesn't really matter except to the extent that "bigger" tends to mean "more expensive". Minimum-size designs might take longer to show up.

If I understand correctly, the ARC design uses FLiBe to capture the energy from the neutrons. It takes up the space between the vacuum chamber and the outer housing. The FliBe heats up, and is pumped out into heat exchangers that produce steam to run a turbine. At some point there's a practical limit to the amount of heat that can be removed that way, but it seems like a low-output reactor should be easier rather than harder to make from that standpoint.

> My example is contrived.

Pretty much. I think if you're going to make an argument like "accidents by teenagers, senior citizens and drunks don't matter" you need to put some numbers behind that.

I mean, if you had a teenager or a family member with a substance problem, would you feel safer with them in a Tesla? If so, then I really don't think I understand your point.

Basically you're just saying that you, personally, as a young single man, feel like you're much better at driving than the median driver. So you want a car that is significantly better than even the median before you will "feel safe".

Alternate framing: it doesn't matter how safe you think your driving is, you're still sharing the road with grandparents. And you (if you're being rational about it) want them in a Tesla.
I find it amusing (and maybe even ironic?) that tools and methods (GPUs and game engines, etc.) whose development was mainly driven by gaming and entertainment (rather frivolous use cases) now find applications in a much more "serious" domain with a potential to revolutionize our lives.

I haven't seen much evidence for federal pressure on payment processors directly. The article seems to be mostly about pornhub's over-reaction in response to the over-reaction of payment processors who pandered to the anti-porn groups.

The government really did screw over websites like Craigslist and Backpage, but that was due to changes which would have made the site operators responsible for the content their users post which I don't think would have an impact on someone like mastercard.

I suspect the payment processors must support the anti-porn agenda since I doubt they really fear that any appreciable number of people will resort to using cash only for the rest of their lives in protest. It's entirely within Visa's power to say "If you don't like porn don't pay for it, but it isn't our place to police what free people can do with their money. Our role is simply to facilitate any legal transaction. If you feel something shouldn't be legal speak to your representatives and change the laws"
>The flip side of this is false positives: you don’t want a car slamming on the brakes because of a plastic shopping bag or other soft piece of trash lying in the road. This is a hard problem, regardless of technology employed.

Is this really a problem with current vehicles? I've had ford, gm, and dodge/ram vehicles over the last ~8 years with forward collision sensors and automatic braking and never once had any of them slam on the brakes due to a plastic shopping bag or other piece of soft trash lying in the road. I honestly haven't even had them give warning from one of those items being in the road (or any item that wasn't a car to be honest).
> The onus is on me to personally verify the details of a large, well respected news source.

I did not say that.

At all.

The onus is on you to understand what the article does and does not contain. The criticism of the article is about possibly vital pieces of information that are excluded. It's pretty obvious on a single read of the article that there is information missing.

The "extra work" is to uncover that missing piece, which is not your responsibility. However, being aware that then article is excluding relevant information is. You and only you are responsible for what you believe, and how you evaluate information coming to you.

Sorry, I do not want to engage with you if you don't read my comments properly.

> But you are defending a Wikipedia editor for deleting a entry on a prominent scientist whose work eventually earns her a Nobel prize without any research at all...

Yes, because that Wikipedia editor is not getting paid to do the research. Nor is it the editor's defined role. The journalist, however, is, and it is their role to do so.

This requires the attacker handling CSAM which defeats the benefit. The risk in all cases is anytime you actually handle CSAM then the attack is void since you're now actually guilty of the crime and have to do it (very few will cross that line).

The point though is that this is something someone's Apple phone is doing, that their device is not. So the goal is to send a hash collided images by non-Apple channels (email) where there is a reasonably good chance that image would make it's way into someone's global device photo store and into automatic iCloud uploads.

Sending an MMS would work, for example, or a picture to Signal which then someone saves to outside of Signal (a meme).

In all these cases, the original sender doesn't have an Apple device: so they're not getting scanned by the same algorithm, but more importantly their device is not spying on them. Importantly too: they've done nothing illegal.

But: the victim is getting flagged by their own device. And the victim has to have their device seized and analysed to determine (1) that it's not CSAM, (2) that they were sent those images that flagged and aren't trying to divert attention by getting themselves false pinged upfront, but then (3) the sender has committed no crime. There's no reason or even risk to investigate them, because by the time the victim has dealt with law enforcement, it's been established that no one had anything illegal.

It's the digital equivalent of a sock of cat litter testing positive as being methamphetamine, except if it was your drive through McDonald's order.

The goal is not to get convictions, the goal is harrassment.

How can anyone trust any other complex system? Even something as seemingly trivial as a bridge. Picture driving on an unfamiliar road when suddenly there's a bridge ahead. How can anyone in that situation trust that bridge? Without knowing how it was built, whether it is in a state of disrepair, or whether the two sides of the bridge connect without a precipice inbetween[1]. The answer is that we don't need to completely trust a system as long as our experience suggests reasonable safety. Once unassisted Tesla proves to be safer than human drivers, we still won't trust it, but that won't prevent us from using it.

[1]: Not relevant to the above comment, but I once encountered such a bridge. It was while driving in the dark, at about 1am and with no traffic, when the navigation in my, iirc, Android 2.1 phone, suggested I cross an unfinished bridge. The only warning sign ahead of the precipice were a couple of traffic cones. The road was familiar, though, and I drove very carefully, curious about the new bridge.
> A lot of accidents are under the influence. That's a choice.

Only for one of the drivers! There are at least two cars involved in almost every fatal accident.

I made this point elsewhere but it bears repeating. Even if you think your driving is so perfect you can't benefit from a self-driving car, don't you want everyone else in one?

But my analogy says, essentially, that investing has "caddies" too, not that it doesn't.

It's not purely a mental game, because you have to bring money to the table, and the ability to absorb the consequences of risk.

1) be a horrible human and want to troll

2) modify close up/ambiguous adult porn to be flagged as CP with free GitHub tool

3) batch a few thousand porn photos like this to poison them

4) upload them everywhere, 4chan/Reddit/tumblr/discord/imagefap

5) some poor sap manages to save 20+ of your bait images

6) apple reviewer sees 100x100px blurry gray image of definitely porn that was flagged as CP. hits report.

7) a SWAT team bust down your door and takes all your devices while you go to jail and your mugshot is everywhere

That's a false dichotomy. The choice isn't between food scarcity and food waste but between a normal industry and decades of enormous waste. Experts were complaining about the subsidies damaging the dairy industry all the way back in 1983 yet those same subsidies are still here forty years later. The US government is happy to smash a problem with a hammer made of other peoples' money but they have zero ability to foresee the consequences of their meddling or to stop themselves from continuing to smash long after the need is gone.

Radar isn't going to signal on a shopping bag, but I bet you it would for a mylar baloon. Existing radar-based collision sensors really aren't that accurate anyway. They are quite late with detection in most cases, precisely because they have to be tuned not to brake on false positives. They want a good strong signal, at which point the best they can do is reduce the speed of an inevitable collision.
For me, Elixir with Rust NIFs seems like a match made in heaven.

The BEAM VM is amazing at many things but it is still a VM and while the BeamAsm Just In Time compiler added in 2020 can offer performance improvement gains of 130%, there are areas where the BEAM still won't outperform native code.

Erlang excels at network programming and binary data processing. Computation intensive math and heavy string processing are both good NIF use cases.

An article on string performance [1],pre-JIT, describes initial Elixir benchmark of 140s vs C's 3.74s. They managed to make a number of tradeoffs and get the Elixir benchmark improved to 13s. Part of how they did that was to not use unicode (IO.binstream instead of IO.stream), that alone gained them ~4s.

> The general health limit for sugar for a person is approximately one small can of Coke per day or less

What about if you are, like most people are, also eating carbohydrates? How does the quantity of carbs being consumed affect this limit of sugar?
While that may be true, I don't think most American sugar consumption comes from fruits. I guess if Americans switched to snacking on fruit rather than processed foods, even if we ate the same mass of snack food, it would be good for the average person's diet. There's no need to demonize fruit at this juncture -- maybe later when that is the most unhealthy thing people are eating.

(Personally I'm on a kick-the-dad-bod diet right now -- all I've done is try to eat 2x as much veg each meal, stop drinking, switch most snacking to apples, and put a little quarter cup measure in any bags of snack food I happen to have in the house. Down 13lb since early July on a not terribly fat baseline. For me, fruits have been very helpful as they seem to give a good contribution to satiety, while being less calorically intense than what I was snacking on before.)
