Rt>1 means the breakout is growing in size.

So no, you don't want business as usual until ICU capacity is near full. If you do that, you're basically destined to overwhelm ICU capacity.

If you increase ICU capacity, that solves nothing, because you're still satisfied with business as usual until ICU capacity is near full. No matter how big you make ICU capacity, Rt>1 means you will hit that capacity eventually. That's what exponential growth means.

The only answer is to move Rt<1, and you might as well do that sooner rather than later.

> You may have not considered that appliances allowing profiling are part of the system that may enable the above.

Profiling/anti-theft seems orthogonal here. You can have profiling without anti-theft (eg. facebook/google), and you can have anti-theft without profiling (eg. lojack).
Self-driving is not the solution and will show its crack in the future, the solution is probably a cloud service administrate by the city that feed direction to the cars and rules (that reduce or increment the degree of freedom of choices), do optimization and sort many other things, cars probably will still need cameras to take small decisions, but this can be made optional.
I'd be surprised, I've heard (and can not immediately substantiate) that they are generally very reliable vehicles. I guess part of it is that they just don't have as many mechanical points of failure.
But you can’t blame that on Twitter, no matter how much they welcome it and how evil they are. Blame it on unspeakably bad judgement on the part of government employees. Making Twitter the conduit for official communications? I can’t even fathom the mindset.
If you were to look at how a computers' memory is organized, a rough, non-programmer idea of how it would map wouldn't be correct. Big visible things like windows or the start menu aren't put in a single place, etc.

It seems like remarkable that people don't want to imagine there are the rough equivalent of many, many software layers between the level of the neuron and the level of "reason", "emotions", "self", "consciousness" and etc. I think this comes because the "sense of self" is a process that reflexively takes you as primary and indivisible. A framework that view this as generated by lower process violates this.
Ha, glad to be of help!
Kudos to the Waymo team.

I was a self driving skeptic 2-3 years back. Now given the advances in both hardware and NNs, I do see possible solutions in the next decade.
Lots of roads like that in Britian as well and the speed limit is 60mph/100kph. Not uncommon for two cars on a single track road to adjust speed to pass each other at a passing place without slowing down much, so at a closing speed of over 100mph. Perfectly safe for human drivers who know the roads.
Also sounds a bit like Dunning Kruger. It looks easy because people are ignorant of how hard the problem is.

Many years ago I built a search engine for a very big discussion board website, which had hundreds of millions of messages. Keep in mind back then a powerful server had 2GB of RAM and a pretty slow CPU and HDD, so it had to be distributed across multiple shards to work fast enough, and there was no Elastic Search back then, so it really was hard work, plus getting the ranking and quality tuned was a huge effort. Of course when we launched it people responded with "I don't get what the big deal is, why can't you just run a SELECT WHERE LIKE query and get it over with over the weekend?". It was hurtful at first but then I realized how ignorant the person making such a statement is about the problem.

Influenced, but I've been considering it for about a year. As the parent poster mentioned, I too am finding very little of the Netflix content enjoyable. Ahead of my first viewing of He-Man I made some mental predictions of plot directions I wouldn't like that they might do. All of my predictions happened in the first episode so I cut the cord.

How was the migration? Any potential pitfalls?
Honestly, the bigger problem to me is the HBO Max app is terrible. It constantly crashes and has all kinds of weird bugs. They're notorious for sending every customer an integration test email from a bogus domain.

If you're going to insist on being a software developer as well as a content producer, fine, but make good software. Otherwise, let the experts who are actually good at it provide the distribution platform and HBO sticks to what HBO is good at, which is producing content.

HBO may never have been as big as Netflix and Amazon, but as long as they had a multi-decade history of producing way better content and continued to do so, even if it was less content, they were going to remain relevant. They didn't need to eat the world. Being small but good is fine. But selling out to AT&T means they need to try and eat the world so whoever pushed the acquisition can justify it and get a bigger bonus.

Agreed. I think highly contextualized recommendations are the most helpful.

As another example, I frequently find the "often purchased together" section to be very helpful. That might be the only recommendation system that I've ever used more than once.

I would say that's an example of recommendations working. However, in my personal experience, I rarely find "general" recommendations helpful.

See my example above. I subscribe to HBO Max. I click to watch something. HBO Max won’t show it to me. It shows me a profile picker to pick among all one profiles I have, the same one profile I’ve always had, and always will have.

Why? To capture new profiles from people who break into subscribers’ homes to surreptitiously watch HBO Max? How often does that happen relative to me wanting to watch, like always, as myself, like always?
Even with simple projects.. I just finished working on redoing a static webpage for a client. Really simple, started at 17 pages, cut it down to 6 pages, only text and images with a contact form and a few links. I ended up having to build 3 different versions just to get a layout and design that worked for the client's business and another version I built initially for my own working environment the customer never even seen and wasn't charged for.

Both the selection (survivorship bias) and weighting (mentions rather than votes/discussion) are problematic.

Discussion itself can be a very poor metric, as when there's a great deal of general agreement there's frequently little (or at least less) as when compared with highly contentious topics.

Research methodology can often be restricted by data availability. Finding novel ways to torture^W explore data can be insightful, though raises its own risks (p-hacking, as an example).

I just signed up and actually skimmed the privacy policy (because hey, it's Alphabet). They record video of you during the ride and didn't mention anything that I caught about ever deleting it. I get that they need video in case I do bad stuff in the back, but it's really disappointing that they didn't bother reassuring you like "we delete it after a month" or something.

I'm hoping I just missed that line. But I signed up anyway, so I guess that says more.
I find that you can get used to a change of habit very quickly. Youtube introduced unblockable commercials for iOS/safari. After 15 years of adblockers and not watching TV, I have developed an intolerance to ads and I just lost the reflex of clicking on any youtube link or going on youtube to find something. Don't really miss it.
That doesn't surprise me at all. I just also know Roku has been around forever, so I trust that if a new service is added, it will be there. I don't know that I can say the same about other manufacturers (not that they _don't_, I just don't have the same level of trust there).

John Oliver is a popularizer, explaining tough stuff to laypersons. There's a whole team of writers, researchers, fact checkers, lawyers, producers behind him.

If a team like that is wrong about something, it's not for lack of trying to be right.

I've never cared for the format. Just gimme the bullet points, save the snark.

But I've also understood that I'm not the audience. Leaning into civics and current events is a lot of work. And people are busy.

John Oliver, Michael Moore, John Steward, many others, are quite a bit more accessible for a wider audience. So they are a vital part of our public square.

TLDR: John Oliver is awesome.
This is a clever reuse off a little known thing Google used to have called “Trusted Testers” for friends and family of Google employees to test new features. However, I don’t think it requires a Google account. The TT program would just NDA you heavily and required an invite from a Google employee.

This is likely to be more open, but again, requiring NDA.
I can vouch that in both Black and Puerto Rican barbershops, the ones in my neighborhood and have attended for most of my life, the range of possible topics is much less confined than a unisex space. Like, to the degree that I have to question your level of experience.

It's not just dude's safely talking about their problems as the article highlights, that's an aspect, its literally dudes speaking freely without female intervention, e.g. men talking sex, etc.

When a mother comes in to drop off her son or waits idly with him until he's gotten his cut, or a barber's girlfriend makes a quick stop in, the topics will change. Dudes don't just keep talking about the multiple women that they're engaging simultaneously in the presence of women (I understand one may find this topic distasteful but that's how some men use that space) , particularly since in these neighborhoods there are three degrees of separation or less, if not out of simple decency.

Edit: Just to inflect this even more personally, my mother even was explicit about her desire for me to be acculturated more thoroughly in common Black masculinity by dropping me off at the barber shop because I was, relative to the other men in the world I grew up in, too bookish and (what gets called) introverted (I don't really like the use of that term but that's a different discussion), i.e. relatively feminine. That didn't really work, lol, but it was one of the few times she made her thought process explicit in my presence, which is why I distinctly remember it.
What do you mean exactly?

If you want to trigger some specific behavior per directory, have a look at `chpwd` for zsh, it's a function you can redefine that gets called every time you enter a new directory. You could for example have a chpwd function that checks if you're under ~/work, if there's a .git directory, and then adjust the remotes as you wish.

Do you think they actually physically piled up corpses in nursing homes? Do you think a nursing home would allow a photographer inside to take pictures of random individual dead bodies?

Doesn't it seem likely that the piles of bodies outside in refrigerated trucks were way more photographable, and like the nursing home bodies were not all in one place, or were too identifiable as individuals?

I'm sure there are photos of unidentifiable bodies being wheeled out of nursing homes. Here's one: https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2020/...

I am saying that being able to regurgitate an implementation of quicksort (to keep on the sorting example) onto a whiteboard is not a useful skill. There will never be a need to do this in a real life job.

The truly useful skill is being able (and interested!) in using a profiler to find bottlenecks, identify what is being done there (let's say, sorting) and being able to find a better replacement algorithm in the literature and change to code to use a well-optimized implementation (which exists already in just about every ecosystem, no need to reimplement it from memory).

So the same as the HTTP protocol (i.e. switching from a website like Twitter to another, similar, website).
Ice makers are notoriously flimsy. Serious race to the bottom by the manufacturers. The good news is that they're easy to replace (undo a couple of bolts and unplug a cable and they usually come right out), bad news is the replacements are ridiculously expensive, like $100 each and come with all of the same design flaws the original had. There is also surprisingly little standardization which makes the replacements even more expensive as there are hundreds of mostly but not quite compatible models to stock and you have to be very careful when ordering replacements.
couldn't you just call them instead?

Personally, as an SF resident I would much prefer all the cars to be tunneled or elevated instead of idling in front of my house or blowing loudly through my block. It's a safety issue.

When there's only so much surface area where else are people supposed to build except up and down? That's why we have skyscrapers, and those don't seem to provoke the same vitriol as the roads.

> Every "permissionless transaction" is an action of supplying and demanding.

Of course it's not, it's simply a transaction; it doesn't need to be between two separate parties. I don't think you understand Bitcoin as well as you believe, you have it confused with an economic theory.

Reading "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" will do you good.
Of course this ignores that super cruise is considered safer and better on the same tasks that it's allowed to do as Tesla FSD by third party analysts. The difference is GM is less willing to allow it to be enabled for dangerous beta driving unlike Tesla which clearly doesn't care about consistency or safety.
It's an ambiguous language, for example, when you say that the NFT "represents part of the CryptoPunks art project". Is it true? Well, maybe. A bread crumb can represent the starship Enterprise, but it would be absurd to describe it in this way. Or when ZKM describes NFTs as "digitally certified images" and also as "digital works" that are "transformed into unique pieces" (from your own link). In this is case, not so much ambiguous, but directly deceiving.
To me the solution to that is obvious and far better than the current status quo. The cars are all attached to a network and when an emergency service vehicle needs to get somewhere in a hurry there is a coordinated effort to move vehicles off the required route.

As things stand emergency vehicles have to cope with a reasonable minority of people who completely panic and actually impede their progress.
Their current assist packages are already incredible even though they come short of full self driving.

EDIT: In case my point isn't clear, if your position is predicated on the idea that anything less than full self driving is worthless garbage, you should know that is a pretty hot take. If you are instead having an emotional reaction and feel deceived I don't know what to tell you, you might have a very valid point but that doesn't appear to figure into evaluating whether a stock is under or over priced.
Improving Development Velocity with Generic, Server-Driven UI Components
There are a different problems with no-driver, not necessarily worse problems. For example, some problems with drivers that don't exist, or exist to a lesser extent with no-driver:

1. How much should I tip?

2. The driver tried to rape me.

3. The driver seems drunk/high, and is driving horribly.

4. The driver didn't pick me up because, pick your reason: I'm black, had a bunch of kids, etc...

5. My friend was drunk and tried to pick a fight with the driver.

Notably, SAE level 5 is actually well below the standard that you've laid out here. The vehicle simply has to be able to make itself safe in situations that it can't handle. This allows room for remote assistance or a human takeover in certain situations.
Yes. It's a way to say 'you seem bad, and nobody should listen to you' by virtue of simplistic pattern recognition. If you happen to use the same few words that somebody the OP dislikes used, you are categorized and ignored. Note that this is completely independent of whether those words are true or false, harmful or helpful.

One reason is that Amazon does a great job in some categories. I buy my shoes on Amazon and they are by far the best pair I have ever owned. It is one of the first pairs of shoes I have owned where I can walk for hours and not get crazy callouses on my feet and be sore after.

A full read on why here (the slug doesn't represent the post very well)[0] but the summary is that other stores for selling shoes don't let me break down my search by detailed options, particularly width.

So Amazon is amazing in some categories. We just notice when they drop the ball and have terrible results in other categories. We are so used to finding great stuff that it angers us when we cannot.
