> Google Health is a good example of failing to appreciate specialization and domain-expertise. Trying to draw value from broad generic data collection when IRL it requires vertical-focused domain-oriented collection and analysis to really draw value.

I'm not sure I agree with this statement. From what I've heard, Google Health employed a huge team of doctors and they were included through the entire feature development lifecycle, similar to how the product org functions in other software companies.

The easiest way to get a signed zero is with a unary minus operation. That is, the expression -x produces -0.0 when x is an unsigned zero (so 0.0)
It means the original result is an anomaly that doesn’t fit into a scientific understanding. Maybe there was an error in the experimental setup, or some unknown factor was at play, or the situation was unique. Whatever the case, nothing scientific can be determined if it can’t be replicated. It’s akin to the WOW SETI signal.

Just convert to string then replace the "-" char with empty, then you can convert to the type you want. Sure performance suffers, but it gets you home by quitting time. Don't actually do this.
The people who are currently successfully utilizing science to legitimize knowledge are doing so off of the moral, social, and cultural capital accrued by previous generations of scientists.

The assumption that the general public will always perceive science with a reverent and trusting eye is wrong: once the capital runs out, science will be perceived as just another tentacle of the establishment. Politicizing scientific language is a surefire way of accelerating this process.

This is what has already happened with the MSM, of course.
If you are a 'self driving' car company that claims that they are 99% done with self driving and you are still having this issue:

Maybe you're nowhere done or near to that 99%, perhaps around 10% done considering that this doesn't work worldwide either so seems like 5% to me.

The Hello World example shows echoing to stdout from the duress script. Seems like a bad idea. I don't want to get beaten or shot when some rm -rf fails with an I/O error, alerting the attacker to what's going on. It seems like it would be more sensible for the module to suppress all output by design.
Why would being security conscious automatically disqualify biometrics?

Security is all about threat models, and I can imagine quite a few scenarios where biometrics might fare better than passwords. Shoulder surfing and trivial passwords/PINs come to mind, for example.

And who said that it's biometrics vs. anything else? It's quite advisable to combine authentication factors.
One of the best things about people in software is (in my perception) they tend to want to share and share alike with open source and open licenses. Paid licenses also make sense to me, but it really bums me out in a way that I can't fully atriculate that the "neener neener" license is also apparently appealing to some people.

Your assumptions are likely wrong for those cases.

In the case of a random blog, the code likely does not have an associated license, meaning it is copyrighted and any derivative use of it (i.e. copying it) is a violation of their copyright.

In the case of stackoverflow, their ToS require people who post code to share it under a Creative Commons license [0]. Unfortunately, if the author of the post didn't realize that, it's possible they did not have the original copyright and couldn't make that assignment, so you still may have to do your own due diligence.

Where things work as intended on stackoverflow, you are required to provide attribution.

Your assumptions are backwards, and it sounds like that results in you violating copyright.

When going to the US from France, I always take an insurance because even a doctor visit is going to be bat crazy expensive.

When an American comes to France and sees a doctor, they will pay 25€.

I have the feeling we are being royally screwed. By ourselves.

We should have monster prices for people who are not part of the EU, with the understanding that tourists should come insured.

(One should always take an insurance because a heart operation is going to be costly in France as well, but my point is that for minor stuff there is z huge imbalance)
>But that death rate is lower than the average for the European Union as a whole (1,684), and well below those of France, Spain, Italy and the UK

You're describing one manifestation of cost disease. Controversial opinion:

Programmers think that they're exempt from this, but they're not.

I used the term "devops shovelware" the other day in reference to the dominant culture that you can see on display in the present. That sort of thing is just another type of unnecessary paper pushing. Resume-driven development, churn for churn's sake, and much of what accounts for the little green squares on GitHub contribution graphs are all manifestations of the very same cost disease.
Yeah, apparently finding misplaced quotes, commas, brackets and braces is magically easier than misplaced parentheses. :)
Positive and negative zero cannot be distinguished by normal equality checks, meaning +0.0 == -0.0. Therefore, for consistency's sake +0.0 > -0.0 ought to be false, which would yield a return value of -0.0 for max(+0.0, -(+0.0))

This viewpoint seems to be a strange version of Schneier's law. Just because you learned ML and can't think of a way to make a car drive itself doesn't mean it is impossible.

I believe within the next few years we will see driverless long haul freight operations. Freeways are orders of magnitude easier than dynamic city streets, longer routes can be taken at little cost to avoid adverse conditions (a human rider isn't going to be ok with adding 10 hours to avoid a snow storm, a truck load of coffee beans doesn't care), and the cost of humans in this case is stupid high.

Once it is demonstrated in the real world that corporations stand to profit from eliminating drivers, you'll start to see pressure on the public sector to annotate the world. Stop signs will by law include an RF beacon, lanes will no longer be defined by paint but by transmitters in the pavement, federal law will mandate that personal vehicles transmit their location and dimensions to other nearby cars, etc.

Eventually once we have the infrastructure built, every new car will piggyback on it. Remember the Interstate Highway System was started in 1955 and completed in 1992 - progress just takes time.

I think 'hydrogen' is basically just an attempt to preserve the legacy power relations that have grown up around coal/oil/natural gas. If people can be convinced it's viable they can kick the can down the road for another 10-20 years.

> To resort to ad hominems probably means that they can't challenge the author or change his mind with convincing and logical arguments. They have done an own goal and proved the author's point once again.

Maybe. Either that, or people actually working in social science, or on critical race theory already read his points, responded to the ones that were new (ahah) and left it there, ignoring him and fellows commentator as they should.

Again, you can be conservative and sociologist. Baudrillard did inspire a lot of those (they seems to become more and more marxist as teihr theories are refined but still). I don't understand why people take thos "journalist" seriously.

Did he at least read the classics?

And i mean, not even CRT author ( did not read them, this subject does not interest me). But i think the minimum you can do before trying to critic CRT is read Marx and Hegel (you have new book with integrated critics that are quite good) and obviously Derrida and Foucault. Bourdieu and Baudrillard maybe if you want some context for the first one and if you want more "conservative" views for the second, Wittgenstein because everybody needs to read Wittgenstein, and i'm forgetting Habermas who should have been the first one.

Its really not interesting to debat such people, i did try. I spend two hours on trying to explain some core principles and left it here. At least now my friends understand what deconstruction is and stopped putting this under "leftist stuff". I think most conservatives agreed with Baudrillard hyperrealities (the liberals posting as conservatives did not but were still interested). It is just not worth the time.
Recognizing the roads is not the biggest problem, it seems. It's the myriad of purely human situations. Anything and anyone can suddenly appear on the road in front of the car, not just traffic cones. Which means the AI needs a pretty much full understanding of the world it operates in.

On the other hand, isolating the roads for AV's from us may become a major inconvenience. I really don't see how this tech can evolve today, unless cars learn to fly already.

I got into walking due to health reason, and there's a freedom seeking / search in it yes. The internal process of finding a path from idea to idea b is probably linked to the geometry of going from spot to spot.

another thing about walking, is that it's free, and every fork in the road means you get to decide where you feel like you want to go, and that, to me, seems a deep need for our minds.

It’s the Wamo one service in a very limited area of Phenix that’s operating without a safety driver. They started in 2020 with 10% of the rides without a safety driver and it’s been ramping up.

There’s been a fair amount of coverage for example:

https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2021/01/04/waymo-driverless-...

The safe state thing is inferred based on the list of crashes so far. Clearly it’s not going to always work perfectly to the end of time, but it’s good enough that their testing it without a safety driver in the car which says quite a bit.

That wouldn't solve it: max(0.0, -0.0) would be false ? 0.0 : -0.0

The problem is that 0.0 == -0.0. As long as you don't take care of signed zero, you cannot guarantee that abs(x) has no negative sign.

Getting people to switch to electric cars means investing in the infrastructure.

I have a hybrid car and I am not sure it makes sense ecologically. My main reason is the driving experience (especially when starting, it is much better than traditional engine).

If I drive to the mountains (500+ km), I would like to be able to recharge on the way. It takes 20 min per car, so if a full tank is 4 min, we need 5 times more chargers than gas distributors. Good luck bringing that power to a highway stop area.

Platforms have a First Amendment right to silence voices they don't like on a platform. The First Amendment protects both a person's ability to say things, and the person's ability to not say things. As a general rule, both people and the government cannot compel someone to say or reproduce an opinion they don't want to.

There are multiple levels of protection one might want.

I.e. when you are being selected for random questioning entering US as a non-US citizen, you'd benefit from steganography-like approach: you give a password, and relatively bland, non-personal stuff shows up, giving appearance of full access to a system.

If you only care about your privacy, the next one is to have a destroy-everything script (and it's not that hard: usually, passphrases are only used to decrypt the actual encryption keys, so overwriting those keys should be super fast). This would also work against unsophisticated attacks which are not going to really cost you your life.

If there is a potential for you to be a target of a sophisticated attack and the attacker does not care about taking your life, the biggest benefit is to have a way to inform someone of your whereabouts while you are actually giving access, ideally in a way that buys you time (eg. "webcam has detected stress on your face, please wait another 6 hours before trying to log in again" — sorry, company mandated software, when it happens usually, we call support).

There's a massive difference between gamers who don't have 200 hours a month to invest in the latest AAA title and people who are just as happy playing Candy Crush. This is the genius of the Switch: it's accessible enough that casual gamers are happy to take a punt, while still having enough content on there to satisfy some of the more hardcore gamers too. But don't mistake it as a device aimed specifically for hardcore gamers, if anything it's more of a joke to many of them due to older generation titles (like Skyrim) getting re-released and often with worse graphics yet sold for £50 while the same game is available on other platforms for <£10. This mocking gets said time and time again by some serious gamers.
Spirited and informed debate:

Virtually everything I see suggests that the effect is bimodal:

1. Everyone gets vaccinated at the same time, and the disease goes away. Not a lot of disease means not a lot of mutations.

2. No one gets vaccinated, and there is no such effect.

If immune escape is an issue, it seems like the solution would be 100% MANDATORY vaccinations, and to perform vaccinations all at once, region by region, so there are no populations which mix vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

I can't see how making vaccinations non-compulsory will do anything good. Where I live, 2/3 are vaccinated, and 1/3 are not. Virus is spiking, and there are a lot of opportunities for escape from the unvaccinated to the vaccinated. After a few months of similar effect, vaccine effectiveness fell from 95% to around 50%.

I think you gave a very strong argument FOR compulsory vaccination.
