Sure, fork it and have alternate implementations and releases. This will necessarily fragment the namespace for it though, and the only way around that is to have some shared responsibility for making releases, and at that point, you might as well have enough shared admin responsibilities on the one repo, and the problem is also solved.

Another way to look at it is that this is not a problem of lack of solutions, it a problem that the person or people at the bottleneck (merging pull requests, testing and releasing) haven't shared that responsibility with enough additional people so this isn't a problem.

That, or there's some legal case in the background and they are under advisement to not work on or respond to anything to do with this repository. That seems just as likely in my eyes. Doesn't change the situation though, this repo is effectively dead right now (but someone could fork and start applying an releasing if they wanted AFAICT).
HKTs are something like generics for generics, so no.

E.g. a method takes some input and returns some output that is a list can have integers or strings, so you use generics instead of the concrete type integer/string.

But what if your input type is not a list of CONCRETE_TYPE but instead a WRAPPER_TYPE of CONCRETE_TYPE? E.g. say you have a method that can sort not only lists but also sets or trees, where each of these collections can contain an arbitrary (but comparable) concrete type like integer or string.

This WRAPPER_TYPE which can be parametrized with one or more other types (either concrete types or other wrapper types of arbitrary shapes) encapsulates the concept of a higher kinded type (where a simple type like integer or string would be a low-kinded type in this lingo).

In that case, basic generics are unfortunately not sufficient to express this.

In practice this is used mostly in libraries by library authors to provide users flexibility. It is especially helpful to help with compatibility between libraries that don't know of each other in advance. But it is also very useful for application developers to model different implementations of services/abstractions that have different properties.
What are some of those consequences?

The Powell Doctrine
> the lack of non-smart TVs on the market causes the popularity of smart TVs.

Consumers buying TVs are driven by prices. Prices of smart TVs are artificially low...to the tune of either slim margins (<5%), no margins, or negative margins. The only reason 90% of the TV manufacturers can make money is by making them "smart", because they make up for margin on collecting/selling data. In other cases, big box retailers use them as loss leaders (see -> monster cable margins).

In other words - it's not that simple - the demand for smartTVs is driven partially by an artificially set price point.

source - my dad was a sales rep that sold TVs for 15 years late 90's-early 2000's.
The sort of design starlink has means that it is not going to able to provide a reasonably high bandwidth at a high density. Starlink will be able to support a handful of people in a city, but nothing close to good coverage of households.

No one is going to appreciate this but I will say it anyway just because I think it's important and maybe one person will get it.

The solution to these type of technopolies is not better laws or lawsuits. The solution is technical. It's about creating protocols for decentralized systems.

Now, am I saying that it's obvious or easy to replace Google with decentralized systems? Of course not. But what I hope people will eventually realize is that open source distributed protocols are in fact extremely powerful and perfect for creating better public online commons.
No, R0=6 is a given. I'm not calculating R0. R0 for Delta is estimated between 5 and 9.5. I picked 6, just for illustration. Given a starting R0 and a vaccination rate and a vaccine effectiveness, that is how you can calculate effective Rt. There's nothing circular about that.

There's no such thing as "R0 within a vaccinated community" - R0 is the starting reproductive number. Effective reproductive number - given various mitigation measures like vaccination, masks, natural immunity, etc - is Rt.

You can try the calculations using any other starting R0, from 5 to 9.5 if you stay consistent with estimates of Delta transmissibility.

The point is that it's possible that a group of vaccinated people would never have an Rt below 1 from vaccination alone, simply because of the limited vaccine effectiveness against transmission.
no, sorry if unclear. i meant the opposite, you should be able to.
I think there’s way more hand correction needed than people are estimating. Google Maps (the non hd version) employs a small army of 6k contractors [0] to correct way simpler data. Getting cm accurate lane markings and correctly classifying permanent and transient features of a scene is extremely error prone and I would guess at least an order of magnitude more manpower to make this happen at scale.

I'd love to use a smart TV as designed (assuming half decent UX), but because I can't trust manufacturers to not push an update that starts showing me ads I instead never give them internet access and use a chromecast or my PS4 for smart functionality instead.

I do also prefer the incremental upgradeability you get by keeping display tech and software separate. I can avoid spending 4/5 digit $s on my big dumb screen for way longer when I can just upgrade a $50 dongle periodically (although it turns out google is way better at supporting old chromecasts than most smart TV manufacturers are at supporting software on old TVs).
On the google+ 99.99% if offered would gladly take google+ for free. It was a huge success.

Google closed it down because they realize they never needed it. You were rarely providing new information to google because you already had an account and they already were tracking you everywhere. Your posts on other social networking sites google knows about and uses. What sites you visit google knows about.

The only thing google+ gives google is your social graph. But not your friends/family social graph more of your professional social graph. I don't think there was a way to target that info through ads into more profit. They probably leveraged access to facebook's data for ads in exchange for shutting it down.
I am going to take a wild guess and say -- it is 6.1 so.. things added to six that didnt make it into the deadline. Quick read of the changelog page shows RISC-V and ARM being filled out, other architectures active too.. and since they had some time, lining up the security gates to add spec-driven sorts of things, which always lag it seems.

All that said, I have not gotten over some early experiences with QEMU myself, which ended up being not very productive. Cowardly I retreated to vbox for daily use on a small network.. maybe 6 series has a different feel for the individual setup now.
Never thought I'd get to see the Stones, but I did a few years ago at the Desert Trip concerts. Honestly, I think I was lucky to catch them then. Same with all the bands that played there. Charlie was great and I was amazed by him. He was still banging on those drums as fast as ever and keeping the beat spot on.

They were all happy to be there. Well, except maybe Dylan. Not sure if he's ever been "happy" but they were all having fun and thrilled to be there together.

We all knew we're getting close to moving on. And we all felt like we did back then together. Each time one of them leaves the rest of us are all step closer. But, damn... our generation still rocked the house.

Sailor Moon and Dragonball were the first I was aware of, and I didn't find them interesting. Sometime about 1999, a friend introduced me to Slayers and Generator Gawl, and that started an obsession that lasted about 10 years (conveniently, the span where my internet speeds exploded and I could download fansubs of new series). I rarely watch anime myself anymore, although my wife sometimes puts some on, and I'll watch it when she does.

I think I became familiar enough with the tropes that the novelty wore off. I don't enjoy it like I used to, but I don't have a particular hatred/dislike for it, as a whole. There were always bits that I found distasteful, though.
I'm also working a lot in gpt3/j story generation. One approach I've found that addresses some long-term coherence problems is to generate high-level, bulleted outlines upfront, then use those bullets (plus some metadata from previous/next bullets) as prompts to "expand" into longer, more-standalone scenes.

Of course, there's a lot of problems with this approach also, but it does help specifically with consistency across larger generated works.
Google recently removed use of its sync API (and others) from Chromium. What you call a "search engine" is really a vast network of integrated services that Google can pull the plug on at any moment for any reason.

If you want to make money from your site/channel, you pony up to Google's ad services to get ads from Google's ad networks to show up higher in Google's search engines so your customers with Google accounts can easily sign into your site running Google's authentication and feed metrics back into Google's web browser that's optimized for Google content. That's some kind of vertical integration, baby.

I'm deliriously sleepy, but I'm sure I got like, 70% of that right. I don't want to just de-Google, I want to be able to extricate and cordon off it and everything related to it on the web like I do with Facebook. But how?

Pfizer vaxed their control group at the beginning of 2021. So their long term clinical data is not just "fraudulent", it's non-existent [1]. And yet, it was FDA approved yesterday, without even knowing how many shots there are in the regimen, _and_ without dropping legal immunity for Pfizer for severe adverse effects. Some companies are more equal than others. Approved by the same person, by the way, who was responsible for Oxycontin debacle earlier [2].

I'm not sure why you think having a large fleet of vehicles is problem. Rental car companies already exist.

As far as fueling/charging- Even if you had to pay a few people in the short-term to do the work, it isn't a high-skill job. Being generous, I can't fathom a situation where it could cost more than $2 per car in physical labor. Assuming you could drive more than 200 miles on a charge, that is less than a penny per mile in cost. Also, there are already gas stations in some states with people that will fill your gas tank for you. I am also sure an autonomous solution would be devised if that became a limiting factor. You could pretty easily design a purpose-built system for it.

I agree that regular maintenance needs to be performed, but I don't agree that the companies themselves need to solve the problem on their own. This seems like it would be something to easily contract out to a local company to handle. For standard maintenance and cleaning, there are plenty of companies that clean cars and plenty of companies that perform maintenance on cars already. It should just be a matter of getting contracts in place and making sure that they have software to do their jobs.

I didn't do the math to figure out the cost of a human driver vs the total taxi cost, but even if true the cost isn't trivial. Truckers, for example, can make upwards of $80k per year and that's not even at 50% utilization for the vehicle. If you assume a taxi driver would make $40k/year and they have 50% utilization of the car (I'm making up numbers for the sake of discussion), that is still a significant amount of cost. I would be surprised if maintenance and fuel would be $40k per year regardless of vehicle.

I once had a Samsung smart TV that was on the lower end of the price scale. It had Ethernet but no Wi-Fi (this was back in 2014ish so wifi was a “premium” feature). I didn’t have an Ethernet drop near the TV so I bought a USB wifi dongle and used that. A year or two later I was messing around with a Raspberry Pi and needed a wifi dongle, so I took the one from the TV. Lo and behold the smart tv features kept working. It must have had wifi hardware that was disabled in software and the wifi dongle somehow tricked it into working…long story to say that I bet with 5G TVs will start phoning home and nothing short of a faraday cage will be able to stop it.

Back of the envelope calculation for HD mapping cost: $5k / km * 4,000,000 km of road in the US = $20bn / yr on HD mapping (assuming once a year updates, which is actually quite infrequent).

Visa is obsolete. That's the first point most people miss in these cryptocurrency discussions.

Credit cards require you to disclose your secret credentials that allow withdrawals from your account. Cryptocurrency payments do not because they apply math and computer science to the problem.

The banking systems are also mostly obsolete because they are usually on an outdated paradigm without a blockchain. Blockchains are the starting point for cheat-proof ledgers. Most existing financial ledgers are susceptible to manipulation. Some by design.

> And, unlike New Yorkers seem to believe, pizza wasn't invented in the land of burguers and hotdogs

Which version of pizza are you talking about? Apple didn't technically invent the first smartphone, and yet it did create and popularize the smartphone as the world knows it today.

The US also didn't actually invent putting cooked beef between two slices of bread. It popularized and spread the hamburger globally. What the world came to know as a hamburger, came from the US.

Pizza, as with so many commercialized things, was popularized around the globe by the US, not by Italy. That's not something up for debate, it's not subtly the case, the US massively popularized pizza as the world knows it today. It wasn't the classic, bland Italian version of 'pizza' that stormed around the world, it was the amped up commercialized US approach to pizza: which involved an epic explosion of variation of every possible sort, delivered by chains. That's what rapidly spread pizza to every corner of the globe post WW2. The US created the modern pizza chain and spread it globally, using its vast economic reach and capital, introducing pizza to billions of people in the process. Pizza was popularized globally by the US in exactly the same way the US popularized hamburgers.

Java does that, both the HotSpot JIT and the AOT compiler (Substrate VM) I believe will do it. Now it can't always tell that data is local to the stack, but when it can, it won't allocate it on the Heap and will automatically switch to stack allocation (and no GC for it).

Might it be possible that the movers and shakers of the world (i.e. banks, WEF, intelligence agencies, powerful corporations) prefer to publicly reveal their plans, insofar that an "open secret" is less controversial than a secretive goal, that can be exposed. The Great Reset booklet is written in such anodyne and boring language, that it just seems like generic PR feel-good flavortext. I'm going to suggest that this might be intentional for a nebulous group of individuals trying to impact the world in a certain way.
