It does not matter how you dice up the statistics. Of the millions of cars with driver assist, Tesla's make up the majority of serious accidents, and the majority of accidents of vehicles crashing into emergency vehicles on the road. On an absolute basis, relative basis, per capita basis, etc., Tesla Autopilot has more, serious crashes than all other driver assist systems. (And note that this does not include any FSD-related accidents.)

This is an issue because Tesla markets its cars as being "safer" than other company's vehicles, and the data shows that their driver assist system is objectively not.
Are there no settings for this? I'm pretty sure firefox does (at least the previous version did)
It doesn't look like world population growth is slowing at all:

What reason do you have to believe that the population will top off at 10 billion?
Absolutely. A van buildout gets crazy pricey when you contract it out. It's relatively easy and cheap to DIY.
I'm just going to concur with GP: as someone who has looked for advice for songwriting on guitar, the writers I look up to almost always wrote with a piano. If your quibble is with "most", and your musical tastes are somewhere within EDM (mine are not), might be a perception bias towards laptop electronica.
All UI stuff like this should be part of the "theme". Once in a while, sure go ahead and change the default, but always make it easy to roll back to older themes..
Awesomic does not re-sell human hours like Upwork. Instead, we guarantee a business result. So the time designer spends on a task is more depending on the type of task.

Some tasks are really possible to complete within one day – like banner ads. However, some tasks require iterating a week over week to fully complete – like a good website created from scratch. In this case, you'll receive everyday updates to see the progress. The whole speed depends on designer output and feedback from clients.

The best way is to ask the designer for a kind estimation when the deadline matters. With urgent projects you can double/triple your subscription, for example, for this exact month, so more designers would be able to connect and deliver results faster.
This would be the domain of linguistics, and my understanding is that there's really no clear consensus on anything. Folk etymologies are rarely any better than a "just-so" story, and often they're an entirely fabricated re-analysis.

When we talk about the creation of neologisms like this, we often put them into various categories: sometimes they're simpler than the previous idiom, sometimes they're more complex/nuanced, often they can act as some sort of shibboleth, but it's all after-the-fact analysis, I don't think there's any real rules.
I've seen a few in the Bay Area. It always takes me a moment to figure out what I'm looking at.
DuckDuckGo’s simple plan to make the internet more private
What would be great is if they'd become open source after a certain amount of time. Then there could be a nice release, with the surprise element and everything, and later when the steam runs out, the community would pick it up if it still has potential, and do something else with it.
My hunch is the memory of bad American sedans from the late 90s to early 2000s has either stuck around longer. I think now much less of a difference now but back in the day recall seeing more Sentra/Civic/Corollas on the road into old age than domestics.

I think recently it's been a bit of a chicken and the egg problem for ford and sedans, they don't sell enough volume to justify redesigns and they aren't redesigned so they're not (at least perceived as) terribly competitive.
Let's be careful about proclaiming a new space and offering. This product space has existed for a few years now. There are companies providing matching algorithms between an uploaded tech abstract/patent/publication and interested companies (as well as for companies seeking academics). My own company already provides this exact service in Scout (wellspring.com) and we have competitors, some mentioned below. We have 100's of clients. So, do some of our competitors. This just isn't new.
I'm not really talking about their financial well-being. The "Greatest Generation" won a World War and built a great economy on the ruins of Europe and Japan while creating a very safe, very white, very Christian-friendly world of televised entertainment.

Boomers questioned that authority, protested their wars, wanted sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and then suddenly middle age hit them and they yearned for the safety of the world their parents raised them in. Many of them even decided that their parents' houses of worship didn't go far enough, leaving moderate traditional churches for extreme and fundamentalist churches.
Me too. My brother in law would sit writing music on manuscript for hours. Very occasionally he would get up, go plink plonk .. mm .. plunk on a piano, and sit down to carry on writing.
No tbh I think that's fantastic. Engineering and physics are a great way to get the right intuition. Having a firm grasp of the basics and having lots of possible examples in mind is very useful! Basically I would try to round out the basic pure math stuff for sure, but I think youre better equipped than most.

Another intro book I thought of was Peter Eccle's introduction to mathematical reasoning. Might be worth looking at.

If you want a nice leisurely introduction to groups Nathan Carter's Visual group theory is nice.

I got a lot of use out of the princeton encyclopedias of math. Dont expect for them to really teach you anything, but the articles are nice for seeing whats out there.

Definitely try to learn basic analysis and algebra. I dont think any book I know is amazing, but basically any will do the job.

Importantly, dont be afraid to try to learn something out of your depth. In fact I think its important to try! If something really grabs you, try to read more and backfill what you don't know.
> If our ancestors would have made the rational assessment that there is unlikely to be a predator hiding behind the bush, that would have worked only as long as it worked, until one day they got eaten.

That wouldn't have been a rational assessment, because it wouldn't have been an accurate assessment of the risks of being wrong, and the behavior required to avoid them.

If there's only a 1% chance that a predator is behind a bush, and that predator might eat you, it's absolutely rational to act as though there is a predator. You'll be seeing lots of bushes in your life, and you can't escape from those 1% chances for long.

The same thinking is why it would have been rational to try and avoid global warming 30 years ago. Even if the science was not settled, in the worst-case scenario, you'd have "wasted" a bunch of money making green energy production. In the best-case scenario, you saved the planet.
"you don't seem to offer much value over free competitors and why should we trust you might be hard points to address, but are important."

I agree with you on those points. But dismissing improved UI/UX as "makeup" is not helpful.
Came here to say this. This will be especially interesting if there's better support for GPU virtualization to allow a Windows VM to leverage the card without passing the entire card through.
I've been hearing Intel play this tune for years, time to show us something or change the record!
Tesla only delivers at the end of each quarter here in Norway due to logistics, however the Model 3 is the best selling car so far this year[1] it's not just some months when you aggregate.

The statistics here are only for electric cars but BEVs outsell fossils by quite a lot now so the M3 top the list of all cars too including fossils

But I see a lot of mach-es on the road lately :)

That makes a lot more sense, thanks. They could do with making that a lot clearer on the project.

Still handicaps them compared to Nvidia where you can just buy anything recent and expect it to work. Suspect it also means they get virtually no open source contributions from the community because nobody can run or test it on personal hardware.

The loophole lies in the wording, the regulation only protects you against unauthorized transactions.

Plaid makes transactions on your behalf, it's arguable whether they are unauthorized transactions.

To quote a similar case from real life. When your wife empties your bank account, you may not be able to get your money back because that doesn't constitute an unauthorized transaction. Also, nobody will flag it or alert you, because they don't think of it as abnormal.
goto would only help in cases of tail self-recursion, though.
Sometimes things have no particular meaning, or the meaning is related to the convention. In the other example you used, of drawing the curve, then x and y are perfectly fine names thanks to the convention (now long established) of using x and y to represent two orthogonal axes (generally the "horizontal" and "vertical", whatever that may mean in context). Using a more elaborate name would add no value.

With respect to the use of Greek letters and such, I do lament that many writers of mathematics fail to define their terms. Instead assuming that the reader is fully conversant in the domain, when often a single paragraph at the start would add a great deal to the clarity of their work. However, that doesn't mean that the use of such variables is bad, they just need to be defined.

The benefit of the mathematical notation is that it permits conciseness and lends itself well to symbolic manipulation (that is, a large portion of what we do when we do algebra and calculus). The former is a tricky subject, conciseness at the cost of clarity can be a net negative. But the latter is crucial to a lot of work, the way that we write programs does not lend itself well to symbolic manipulation and would be counterproductive for mathematics.

In fact, I've often had to translate programs into a symbolic notation in order to try and decipher them because the long descriptive names, as useful as they are in isolation, ended up rendering the total procedure nearly impenetrable. Or at least unanalyzable. And the conversion to a symbolic notation permitted me to simplify the program substantially because I was able to apply ideas from algebra to the program (often boolean algebra, in particular, this is a very useful practice for condition heavy code with lots of predicates).
> What's wrong with iterating across multiple components?

It's bad for spatial locality. You end up with many more CPU cache misses, which significantly slows down execution. Using the CPU cache effectively is one of the primary reasons to use ECS.
I kinda agree with Peter Thiel and this article. We are seeing a lot of more innovation in bits then in atoms.

And it kinda makes me sad for personal reasons. I studied business and economics and have experience as web developer. I would love to have a startup innovating in atoms, but I find it hard to transition there. I would love to go back in time and change my major to biotechnology, but as I am 27 I feel I already wasted too much time in the university. It kinda feels like a worst situation to be in. Im still pretty young, and dont want to spend the rest of my life making REST apis, but would have a hard time justyfing spending another 5 years learning something from scratch :/
Course it's decentralised. Decentralised is about technologies, not about which provider you pick to run your decentralised technologies for you.
The author starts by comparing the news from newspaper/magazine to modern online news to call it shit and I agree.

In spite of being a business I feel printed newspapers at large struck to a code of ethics and used that "freedom of the press" judiciously.

In India Newspapers played a crucial role in organizing against colonial rule, Many freedom fighters were themselves a publishers/editos of such newspapers. At the later part of the freedom struggle such newspapers came under heavy attack, editors jailed and unspoken horrors imposed upon them.

Even today printed news papers which survived from those era does have better quality of writing than online content(even from the same news media) due to some resemblance of their editorial practices.

But all those printed newspapers are on the verge of bankruptcy or already dead. Their online counterpart is now only concerned with how many articles can be published/hour, There's not even proof reading because of this as they have to please Google, Facebook, Apple for those screen time.
> One of the reasons they have the loud ding is to alert an associate working several aisles there is a customer there so they can go assist them.

I sincerely hope they don't believe that's what customers are experiencing, though. And I've never had an HD employee zip on over to help me out when I've been browsing electrical parts. I have, however, started being a little immature and occasionally flip off the camera when it dings at me. Such a rebel I am ;-)
Race is intertwined in nearly all American policies but I don’t think it particularly plays a role in why Texas or the South has been slow to legalize/decriminalize marijuana. I think that’s the southern conservative values thing, which does have a racist component. Towing the party line means supporting the war on drugs.

I think we look to places that have legalized. Where it’s basically an extension of the craft beer industry and very white, so I think the same would be true here if/when legalized. I don’t see how racism comes into current policy choices.

My personal opinion, and I feel like I’ve always been pro legalization, but I don’t like how it’s been done in other states I’ve visited. I don’t want to see a weed shop in every strip center or a green cross on ever billboard. I don’t want my kids seeing that. Just because we do alcohol that way, doesn’t make it the best way. I wish it was behind the counter at a pharmacist or mail order only or something similar. Porn shops and strip clubs are highly zoned to keep it out of neighborhoods here, that could work.
But why would you do that, if it's simple and elegant? Really the only answer is that it has potentially unbounded stack consumption - but tail recursion solves exactly that problem.
Hmm, you might be right. AppCenter is super useful for crash logs, but do you think it would be an issue for users when concerned with privacy? We don't identify the reports at all, so literally anonymous crash logs.

(And AppAnalytics is needed for it to work with SwiftUI, I think? Might be why we're using that.)
thank you for the support!
I have been considering it over and over.

For a time i DID host my own emails. Out of my house, with a business line and static IP.

Google Apps was free at the time and I registered my domain and over time that has become the easiest (its still free for me because i grandfathered in back in like...2014.)

With that said, more and more I want my own privacy and control. And VPS services are cheap. Im leaning toward moving to Mail in a Box or something similar to what OP talked about in his blog. Its really just me and my wife so not much volume. Could probably host it on Linode no problem.
> Many of the smaller Ford cars seem to be designed by the European subsidiary and then either exclusively sold in Europe or later sold in America

Yes, as in 2011 when they unified their UK and US markets. That is, a decade ago. My understanding is that at that point you could get the same models in both areas, for the most part (this is when the US finally gor access to the sport models of the Focus, like the RS). The Mondeo came over earlier, in 2006 (as the Fusion).

The Ford Fusion (Mondeo in the UK, but functionally identical from what I can tell) outsold the Mustang 2:1 in the US in 2019 and 2020. Ford does sell more SUVs and trucks than cars, and also stopped selling many cars in the US 2020 (and some more, including the Fusion), but even the Ford Fiesta sold similar numbers (if still less) than the Mustang.

> Ford obviously aspired to unify across the two markets, but the differences between them are so large it doesn’t seem practical for most of their range.

Before everything started changing in 2020 (Ford is pulling out of the car market in the US except for select models), what models were UK specific? That is, not just a name difference?

Prior to 2011 there seemed to be major differences, and after 2019 there are obviously major differences, but it feels like people here are ignoring almost a decade of history just so they can justify the old perceptions they had which weren't accurate during that time.
OCaml has while- and for-loops.

A better example might be Clojure, which has mutable variables (opt-in, like OCaml), but no traditional imperative loops - only recursion. However, even then, the syntax for its tail-recursive construct uses "loop" as a keyword.
Totally. I don't think Google is necessarily doing anything as blatant as directly selling your browsing history to third parties.

Since I went to go check, I might as well share what I found: in my Google account "Activity controls" there is a toggle (off for me, not sure what the default is) that grants them permission to use Chrome history for "faster searches, better recommendations, and more personalized experiences". As I understand it, this is not selling away your data so much as letting them use it to auction your attention to advertisers.
>really shows how wild the market is.

makes sense when the marginal cost is near-zero.
The UK and EU have both adopted effectively what you describe under PSD2 - the UK banks in particular were forced by their competition and markets regulator (CMA) to adopt open interoperable APIs.

The end result, now it's available, is that you have 2 levels of API access. One is for access to account information (I tend to think of this as read-only access), and the other is to allow for "payment initiation" (think of it as write access, although not a perfect analogy).

An account information service provider (AISP) can do things like aggregate bank accounts into one view, across different banks. A payment service initiation provider (PISP) can create payment gateways and initiate payments against a bank account using an authenticated session (enabling direct bank payment online, without needing a debit or credit card and the associated infrastructure around that).

You can't just rock up and access the APIs though - I believe you need to get your application approved and engage with the regulator, which is probably for the better, to avoid the "app store problem" of loads of apps springing up in the API ecosystem, asking for permission, then just leeching data to third parties after you apparently consent on page 46 of their terms.
I mean, you never stop in trips with your kids? That sounds pretty insane to me. I've done 1000+ miles in a EV and the charging times actually make the trip better.
$12,000 a month? That's almost nothing for a store like Walmart.
I suppose the better thing to do would be to ship an APU, Besting both Nvidia on GPU and AMD on CPU? But can they?
> You may have ten grand in your bank account, but you also probably have a mortgage for another four hundred grand.

Unless you are underwater on your mortgage, you also have an asset worth at least $400k. "Savings minus debts" is not a (good) measure of net worth.
Tab groups also exist in chrome, brave and edge (was behind a flag last time I checked), and presumably other chromium-based browsers too
Part of the challenge is there is no great way to easily get my data out of banks and accessible in one place.

Business model aside, they do solve a real problem in a space where there are no real incentives for banks to provide their own solution.

I'd love to see a subscription-based, privacy-focused option with API access targeting the consumer personal finance crowd. I think Tiller may get some of the way there, but I'm not sure how secure they are.
The problem isn't banks not having APIs, the problem is not having standard APIs for accessing them. The situation wouldn't be any better if every bank had its own proprietary API, hence why Plaid exists.
I think the truth of that statement very much depends on the genre, workflow, and age of the composer.

Yes, some older composers cut their teeth with pianos, staff-paper and pencils and established workflows based strictly on getting the whole song on paper before the orchestration/arrangement, and still work that way today.

However, I'd argue the vast majority of younger composers and people who write in more electronic-influenced genres definitely do not follow that workflow. It'd be very hard to write an entire pop/rap/dance track that relies heavily on the drum and bass interplay by first writing it all out on piano.
That's good to know. Another trick I used to use was just to tell the cashier that I forgot my card, and she'd grab a spare and swipe it. Then they started doing phone numbers, so that probably doesn't work as well now.
> That is because the USA armed and bankrolled the jihadists who overthrew the secular, left-leaning PDPA in the 1980s. Here is Ronald Reagan with the jihadists in the White House

> It's inane for Americans to arm a jihadist insurgency against a left-leaning secular government, and then tear their vestments in some feigned moral superiority that the jihadists would take over the country thirty years later.

It's weird that you wouldn't mention this important context:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War

> The foundations of the conflict were laid by the Saur Revolution, a 1978 coup wherein Afghanistan's communist party took power, initiating a series of radical modernization and land reforms throughout the country. These reforms were deeply unpopular among the more traditional rural population and established power structures.[56] The repressive nature of the "Democratic Republic",[57] which vigorously suppressed opposition and executed thousands of political prisoners, led to the rise of anti-government armed groups; by April 1979, large parts of the country were in open rebellion.[58]

> The communist party itself experienced deep internal rivalries between the Khalqists and Parchamites; in September 1979, People's Democratic Party General Secretary Nur Mohammad Taraki was assassinated under orders of the second-in-command, Hafizullah Amin, which soured relations with the Soviet Union. With fears rising that Amin was planning to switch sides to the United States,[59] the Soviet government, under leader Leonid Brezhnev, decided to deploy the 40th Army across the border on 24 December 1979.[60] Arriving in the capital Kabul, they staged a coup (Operation Storm-333),[61] killing General Secretary Amin and installing Soviet loyalist Babrak Karmal from the rival faction Parcham.[58] The Soviet invasion[nb 1] was based on the Brezhnev Doctrine.

Also, the Taliban started in 1994, and it's hard not to feel morally superior to people who do stuff like this: https://twitter.com/NasrinNawaBBC/status/1425139216443482112.
