It uses the same authentication system everything else uses, so it would work in any login screen on a system that uses PAM (Linux and macOS), not just a terminal.

Only if you want to be a drop-in replacement and take advantage of existing compatible libraries. With the recent tea around the official Elasticsearch Python library, it becomes a more interesting question.
So for programming convenience we ignore correct math?

Agreed there. The lightning is going to sell like hotcakes. I only hope ford starts investing in charge networks.

This won't really affect tesla's, but it will put a lot of strain on these smaller networks.

> And slow charging works at the vacation spot, unless you’re at a condo / parking garage without power outlets. It’s just enough inconvenience (with fairly significant consequences if you run out of charge [half day of vacation waster]) to make it less practical right now as a single car solution.

Personally, I plan my lodging around EV chargers. Though, I'd be the first to say that sometimes there's not enough chargers for everyone that wants to charge.

My hope is that as time goes on, we'll see bigger expansion of L2 chargers. It's something that I believe more EV adoption will drive more L2 deployment.

It can, but it's a lousy argument. If my body doesn't affect your body, it should be my choice. Freedom is an American value. It's not a world value, and I wouldn't impose it on other countries, but it is an American one.

I'm 100% for vaccine mandates iff vaccines significantly reduce R0.

I'm 100% against them if they do not. Once my vaccination stops affecting the public health, it's my choice.

Banning unsafe things IS a mistake. Yes, I ought to be able to sword fight on a tightrope with sharp swords and no protection over a pit of alligators, if I decide that's what I want to do.

If that's the concern, then triage the unvaccinated COVID19 patients last. But in the long term, capacity expands to meet demand, and it's perfectly okay to change insurance premiums for anti-vaxers, smokers, or otherwise (or sword fighting over a pit of crocodiles, for that matter).
You did it right, as for those requests, just reply you are open to contributions (if at all) and ignore or block everyone that feels entitled to get their stuff for nothing.
Sure, but now you are the one changing the argument.

> I am not going to be engaging with you any further.

Good.
The other important piece of information is that vaccinations were not given out homogeneously.

The older and more vulnerable were vaccinated FIRST and at a higher rate, so seeing more of them hospitalized now 6 months later with a variant is not unexpected.

What it really means, is that those same patients would probably be in the morgue, not the hospital if it wasn't for the vaccine.
Except that they poop and piss everywhere and need to be fed and watered.
Also depending on the jurisdiction depending on the circumstances triggering it can be a felony the same as destroying evidence or tampering with an investigation, if a court compelled you congrats you’ve just earned yourself a contempt of court charge that can last pretty indefinitely.

In a jurisdiction that doesn’t adhere to the rule of law you are already screwed.

What people often don’t seem to comprehend is that if you get picked up by a “secret police” in the middle of the night it’s pretty much game over already.

Ha. Tell that to all of Europe.

Because so much trade is done in dollars. And because companies globally want access to U.S. financial markets, money transfer systems, companies and markets, the U.S. has the ability to tell even foreign companies what to do.

That's why Europe was frustrated when Trump reinstated sanctions on Iran. And had to try to figure out ways of bypassing them. (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.voanews.com/middle-east/voa...)

The U.S. has incredible, unexpected power over global companies and trade.

I can see the potential in Babashka and other Clojure-based systems from the approach point of view. There needs to be a simple integrated editor or much better readline implementation though that needs to work out of the box. That should improve the interactivity in a major way. We also need to have a set of very simple tools to work with files, network connections (e.g. traffic dumps, netcat) and other typical shell tasks. This isn't really as efficient when used interactively in the Clojure ecosystem or anywhere else from what I have seen besides just using e.g. ls, du, df, fdisk, tcpdump, nc ...

More long term, I have high hopes of having an environment above the kernel that basically does what /proc and /sys and others do currently. Programs equivalent to those in /bin /usr/bin etc. would be just dynamically loadable modules or built into the basic tool set. No shell scripts anymore, no random filesystems with custom formats for everything, just a JITed VM that has a strong set of tools but anybody can extend it with either stuff written in some Clojure-like language, or something compiling to the VM or something native that has some kind of interface (FFI?) to be usable from the programs running on the VM (e.g. for cryptographic stuff or stuff that needs to be as efficient as possible). We would also need something like SSH but for structured data that would support a SHELL/ REPL-like workflow as a byproduct but really be meant for more or less high performance, efficient communication (e.g. useable even for large file copy operations and such).
In the end, parts of this system could connect to a in kernel VM (BPF?) and execute there but we would interact with them using the nice, structured REPL.

This would be a huge undertaking but I can't really see, how we can radically improve the efficiency of work with the current systems. It seems, we are mostly just patching old approaches to do new tricks and to me, it seems to be falling apart. The complexity we impose upon us is crushing and I don't think all of it is necessary.
Performance tends to be very poor. Seems very much in "cash cow" mode as in not being invested in to improve.
Would love this as a standard option for phones / desktop logins.
Which means you can’t generalize to other high schools. If the scientific result doesn’t generalize, is it still science? How can we use the science to improve HS nutrition?

Semiconductor manufacturing seems to have a very big winner-takes-all advantage, it takes enormous amounts of capital and 3-5 years to start a new fab, and the incumbents own a complicated web of secrets and patents that are basically impossible to navigate.
Many of my oppressive country's laws are introduced under pretext "save the children". For example, public discourse of homosexuality is essentially banned, because otherwise underdeveloped minors might get involuntarily exposed to it (and supposedly get psychologically traumatized). Then another law allows banning websites that talk about drugs, LGBT, opposition protests etc. without court order, to save children from being involved in those traumatizing things of course (now it's used to ban opposition sites). And it's hard to argue against it, because you are pushed back, "what, you hate kids? you don't want them to be safe?" It's a clever ugly trick, because most adults are parents, their parental instincts kick in, hearing about all that abuse, and they will support any cause that'll make their kids safer

I'm not saying Apple is definitively involved in some shady stuff, but from my perspective, it does look like NSA forced them to do some sort of file scanning backdoor and they came up with this "it's about saving the children" explanation, already successfully in use in oppressive countries.
I'm glad that I can now say that I've contributed Windows support to a project which I probably violated the license of while working on :P

You're obliged by dint of living within the same megatribe as the rest of us assholes. You're obliged to think for yourself, because the question free speech always, inevitably boils down to is this: who decides the propriety of speech? And the answer is that, because of human fallibility and malice and corruption, the content of speech must be left to the individual. The more you constrain speech, the more you restrict a society's ability to self correct.

Censorship concentrates state power and should always be carefully exercised and limited to an absolute minimum. It is a tool that has never been exercised by a government or institution for the betterment of a society. It has been universally corrupted and used for authoritarian control throughout history. Trusting modern corporations to somehow competently manage such a historically treacherous and corruptible means of social manipulation is naive at best.

So yeah, that means your signal to noise ratio is gonna have to be lower than you'd prefer, and you're going to have to trust yourself and others in society to muddle through. It's the least bad because it doesn't preclude intellectual and ethical advances via morals and tastes of the day.

Strangely enough, the more liberal and unconstrained speech is, the better quality of life gets for that society. The clearest example of this is the abolitionist movement that led to the end of slavery. If the US had exercised censorship and projected the majority views as the filter of appropriate speech, history may have gone much differently. Instead, loud people made annoying speeches in public that offended and provoked society to address the problem. If the ability to overcome great evils like that means that society has to put up with qanon, anti vaxxers, and flat earth dweebs, that is a price we should be happy to pay.

Yes we locked down over one case. The next day we had a few more, and then more and more and more (21 in each of the last two days). Delta is amazingly spreadable.

Because we are locked down straight away, every case is easily contact traced, and people that did catch COVID are already isolated in their bubble, so cannot re-transmit easily behind that. As people are diagnosed they are taken to isolate in a hotel.

So there will be an end, even though we were unluckily enough to have had a number of very large spreader events (conferences, churches, schools etc.).

The oft-touted alternative from activists outside NZ is to vaccinate and open up. We are vaccinia go quickly, but that plan does not work. (NZ had no right/need to get vaccines early - we did not need them. We are now ramping up quickly, all to the plan.)

But vaccines do not prevent transmission.

Vaccines do not provide population immunity with Delta until a very large percentage (90%?) of all people, kids included, are vaccinated.

Vaccines do not eliminate illness (including long COVID) and death. They do reduce it a lot, but many people will die, especially the vaccine hesitant. Meanwhile anti-vaxers spread disinformation, much as the similar or overlapping anti-lockdown crowd do. (Think about that)

Vaccines are not available to kids, and some very vulnerable.

It has been really amazing living essentially a normal live while most the rest of the world “lives with COVID”. We want that back.
One aspect is meeting the overlay and CD targets throughout the stack to meet yield. Having a process that can find defects and more importantly practices to minimize the defects in your process is a big piece. Typically the process given to mass production would be only half solved and then the fab is trying to refine it in ramp.

I used to manage a fab of high end ASML tools and there is a non trivial list of things to continue and solve. You have reliability issues that require scheduling long (2-5 weeks) downtime to fix.

An upstream defectively issue in a spinner tool might lead to taking one dispense or develop node out of flow to improve the defect rate but in turn tank the Scanner efficiency by 40% as it waits to output wafers and that backs up the imaging. The reality is the ASML tools given to fans don’t have everything ironed out at rhe start. So fabs see the reliability issues in real time but there’s no time for the fab to take it out of production for 3 months to address a major part replacement. These all lead managers to make bad choices that continue to dig you in a hole.

At the time I was supporting 14nm it was well known TSMC had world class software tools and practices to minimize their fabs defects and maximize higher order control of overlay and CD bias. This allows them greater flexibility to take a tool down and fix the issues rather than live with them or have to use a band aid.

EdiT: I did not work at intel so can only speculate why they are behind but it was also well known TSMC photo engineers were worked 80+ hrs/week always . They were paid less so they hired more of them and they worked a lot longer so as a result they had better fab processes and support tools.
I don't feel I pulled in the CNC through a side door, I was responding to your comment of:

`laser-guided auto-centering/leveling drill with automatic drill bit changer/sharpener, depth guide, dust evacuation and material sensor with automatic lookup for which hole size and depth to use for the given task.`

Which at that point you probably, as I said, just want a CNC machine.

Given I have and use a handheld drill, a drill press, a manual mill, a CNC mill, a manual lathe, and a CNC lathe, as well as Vim, Emacs, VS Code, and Intellij, I think I'm decently well informed on this topic.

If you setup a CNC mill, you can use it as a manual mill, some people just don't like those ergonomics. I mainly keep my manual mill as a better drill press, and use the CNC for most stuff.

I generally just use intellij for everything in the same way.
Police investigate crimes shortly after the crime (within the location data retention period).

This would result in your stored data being used against you to build a case for criminal liability.
If I have made a false statement, you would be able to quote it.

Do you think that the corrections log actually undoes the impact on people who read the false report?

Do you think most people check that log to see if the previous articles they read have been corrected?

The claim you made was that they own their mistakes and correct them.

If your argument is that they quietly admit their mistakes somewhere very few people look, then I will agree to that. If you can find me denying that, you can quote me on it.

My claim is that this doesn’t correct the mistake. When you misinform someone, the only way to correct the mistake, is to let that person know, and give them the right information.

The corrections page might have been a good faith effort at doing this in the print era, but it definitely doesn’t work in the digital era.

More importantly, what you are referring to as ‘corrections’ are simply edits they make. That has nothing to do with owning one’s mistakes.

They can easily be wrong about or present something in a distorted way, and that won’t make it into a ‘correction’. I don’t see how you can call this behavior ‘owning one’s mistakes’.

Bear in mind, we are commenting on a post by Piotr Wozniak, who does in fact own his point of view, and explains exactly why he says the things people accuse of being pseudoscience.

That didn't really answer the question, however. For the rent to increase, implies that the landlord was previously leaving money on the table. Why would they do this?

I don't think rising costs to the landlord always results in rent increases. Rents are constrained to an extent by the average salary of the area.

If you incur more costs, but the average salary of your area doesn't rise, and you increase rent prices, you run the risk of void tenancies.
> What's stopping them from having their AI operate in simulations in literally every possible traffic situation? Every location a pot hole can be in, every type of traffic cone arrangement, every kind of jaywalking, every kind of vehicle approaching any kind of street from any kind of location, possible speed, reaction time, everything? How could a government approve any autonomous agent that is not tested in such a way?

Because this approach has huge limitations, principally that you’re now optimizing against a cost function that isn’t the real world. RL has a place for sure, but limitations.

It’s like saying that you’d expect someone who’s played 10k hours of Call of Duty to be equivalent to a Navy Seal. They’re just really good at playing the simulation, not the real thing.
IMO the problem is the "media" part of "social media". I wish there was an online platform where my friends and I could give each other text updates and pictures about what is going on in our personal lives, but you couldn't "share" news stories or articles. I don't want to get my news through social media.

Simply removing the "share" function and blocking copy & paste would go a long way.

Its becoming increasingly hard to believe Elon. He says Model Ss are in production in January, when they are not. He promises Full Self Driving in 2019, and doesn't have the rudiments of self driving in late 2021. Features in his new cars are often broken, without any timeline for fixing.

It depends on state. In Kansas, it is 180 days if out on bail, or 90 if held. Note this does not include time before you are arraigned. In some states it does (personally, speedy trial should include the time before you are arraigned, so that the state is forced to hurry up and deal with cases or dismiss them).

I'm unsure about federal guidelines. I think many states have laws that could be challenged in federal court, and their de facto behavior most certainly can, if you have money.

Guide to asking a simple technical question on Reddit when shadow banned?
I rarely use reddit. I loath the Orwellian culture. One thing I do [did] like about reddit is the ability to register a non verified account and quickly ask a technical question about a niche topic and get responses often within the hour. I don't have a stack exchange account and I expect if I did it would be a longer latency to response.

To my chagrin I recently have discovered that whenever I create a throwaway reddit account posts made from it are shadowbanned. even on a different IP address or a different device that belongs to me. This is ridiculous. I have no idea why I am shadowbanned. I should not need to go to a library to ask a technical question on reddit.

Does anybody know a way to ask throwaway questions on reddit without having to deal with stuff like shadow bans?
