interesting, can't remember the exact dates, but in 91(possibly 92) when I was on IRC I used to talk with someone at washington state University who was doing a project on streaming video on the internet using SGI computers I think it was, technically not on the web though, and I can't remember much of the details.
no wrong... you can not commit war crimes and use that as a excuse why you did it, following orders is what the Nazis tried to uses as a excuse... if you see you are bombing a hospital,a school,open market or first responders and you still bomb them then you and the people ordering it are responsible.

We can't know that. You are assuming. For all we know, if everyone got vaccinated the virus could have mutated around it faster, leaving us at square one.
The argument of it being “big tobacco” of the present has weight, but social media also has benefit. A cigarette is a simpler villain. A public health initiative could help, but there needs to be societal pressure and legal weight behind the movement. Perhaps COVID misinfo is a potential reason to push against social media in a strongly legal way in the US or even internationally? I’m curious of how this can pan out, but social media is a very powerful tool at scale so many powerful forces will want to keep it around in less regulated fashion.
Not for me. Paintings are so much more the just images. They are physical objects in dialog with space and culture. This generates a tremendous amount of context that cannot be captured in a photograph.

In other words, no camera will ever capture the experience of walking into LACMA and seeing a Rauschenberg or a Picasso in person, walking up to the painting to look closely, stepping back to see it in the context of the space, reflecting on it's relationship to other paintings on the floor, etc.

I might think differently if the moon hadn't turned into a traffic light a few months ago. But it did. That kind of failure only happens if you aren't sensing environment geometry.

Many of their error scenarios very strongly mimic what you'd get if you looked at a single frame, identified things in it, and then used the vehicle's own motion to hallucinate those things moving by zero-update dead reckoning.

So why the big fuss over giving up some at the extreme end of wealth? It's been shown to have diminishing returns after a certain level anyways. And yet, here we are arguing about why paying zero percent on amounts above 400,000 is a dealbreaker.

The 10 million users is unknowable. But we have a upper bound of 74million UTXOs so it is at most 74M on chain. With custody like CB and RH, I suspect it’s 2 or 3x that on top. I hear “200M Bitcoin users in 2021” which may be closer to the truth.

I would think the well publicized early failures of large Lithium ion battery technology (787 burning down while docked at a gate, the various Tesla fires and Samsung Note phones being banned from planes) would have taught enough lessons to eliminate these risks in the future.

I haven't dug into the details of the "manufacturing defect" at LG's battery plants - seems like a failure in Quality Control.

I also don't know why GM cannot just bring in the battery packs and test/replace the faulty cells, unless the problem is so widespread it affects ALL cells in all packs.
(Replay engineer): Yes, replit has been working on adding similar functionality (https://blog.replit.com/debuggest).

In fact: we've been collaborating with them on it! :)
The apps become invalid after about 7 days after compiling them. So for development its fine but if you are building utilities for yourself to use, it could be an issue.
its not just that they are physical objects. They are physical objects in a physical space in which you are a part. Yes you can "walk around" in VR but that isn't remotely the same as walking around in real life.

Beyond that, there is so much context--physical, cultural, and intellectual--going on when you walk into a gallery and look at art. You lose all of that when looking at digital slides, no matter the quality.

> IMO people overestimate how much alpha is in knowing your customers’ positions (as exchange owner).

I’ll say this as respectfully as I can: you’re wrong. Aside from algos, positions are the most closely guarded information in trading. If you know someone’s positions, you might be able to assess what their risk tolerance and stops would be, and you can exploit that.

If you’re a crypto exchange with huge highly leveraged perpetuals trading, you don’t have to guess where the stops are: you know exactly where those positions will be liquidated. Hell, you built the system to execute the liquidations.

So you just run an algo (you don’t even need funds/margin because hell you’re the exchange) to whipsaw people around and trigger this liquidations while you profit massively.
Seems pretty accurate in hindsight:

I have always thought that the proper role of a manager is basically to act as a liaison between your team, and the rest of the organization.

A lot of the time management is heavy handed and seeks to control or dictate to the team, but that’s an antipattern imho. The manager will communicate to the team when the broader organization needs something from them, however, making other decisions is something the team can usually do themselves by simply discussing it; a manager that tries to unilaterally make a lot of the team’s decisions for them without their input is hindering rather than helping.
I used to be on the beta testing list, but I think I was removed.

It would be nice if awareness of this was more visible, maybe as a link on the footer, with a list of in progress or planned features.
> but Linux the ABI could still have a future.

This is an important point because it conflicts the doom and gloom claim that something like Fuchsia is just a temporary transition technology that will then dump the compatibility.

You can't just dump the compatibility and remain relevant.

If Google deploys Fuchsia on mobile devices, and then morphs it into something that isn't Linux compatible, it just won't be relevant; it's basically a step of retreating into a niche.

Various pieces of middleware won't work on it; I don't think Google wants that.

> It's the kernelspace drivers that will entrench Linux for a long while

You might think, but it is 100% clear? Drivers can be ported to a different system. There are out of tree drivers out there that use #ifdefs to be compatible across kernel versions due to upstream changes. Drivers can be separated into the payload parts, and the Linux glue, and then that glue can be retargetted.

Nobody wants to do that though if they can just use Linux right?

However, the arguments of Linux accumulating code and becoming less and less maintainable could precipitate into situations where alternatives spring up which take what they want or need out of Linux, without all the other crud.

> Kinda surprised he didn't mention WSL

I was thinking the exact same thing when he brought up Fuchsia, but I think he had a point there. Not a lot of us have heard of Fuchsia. WSL is not a threat to anything because it already runs under Windows. It's not poised to take a huge number of devices famously based on the Linux kernel, and take Linux out of the picture. WSL isn't a transition off Linux and could never be; nobody is looking to transition to Windows via WSL. WSL has little room to break Linux compatibility.

Imagine that, say, ten years from now, no Android, Chrome OS or Google TV or whatever device is built on Linux any more. The kernel is Fuchsia or whatever; there is a C library that is the same old Bionic or a derivative. That will be a blow to Linux.
I fail to see how this is relevant. Obviously some set of people will test positive after they've been hospitalized for other causes, and another set will have mild cases that don't progress to the serious your-lungs-no-longer-work stage. The total cases and hospitalizations are still good general metrics to gauge the severity of the crisis and balance risks. If statistics didn't have nuances we wouldn't need statisticians.

Regardless, your objection is irrelevant to the comparison you've tried to make with VAERS. The COVID statistics are a sweeping accounting of common, obvious events that are easy to verify. VAERS, by contrast, is designed for hinting at the sort of literal one-in-a-millon range events that controlled medical trials can sometimes miss, where determining cause and effect is difficult. They're different tools for different jobs. Trying to apply standards from one to the other is simply spurious.

They did try replacing faulty cells and modules before the full recall, even though other manufacturers using the same LG cells were doing a full recall and replace. They also tried software fixes. I dont know enough to understand why it did not work.
These are replacing the 12 subs ordered from France, itself replacing 6 current Collins class due for replacement in the early 2030s. The french contract was missing deadlines, and there is even less chance these boats will be on schedule considering they're nukes. So total 6 extra hulls, typically 1/3 will be deployed while others train or maintain. Does extra presence of 2 subs dramatically affect PRC strategic planning in the 2040s/50s. Maybe, but not that much.
This is incorrect. The Docker engine shipped in Docker for Mac is built from the exact same Docker Engine in the open-source release. It’s the native Mac application wrapping the engine in a single-purpose hypervisor that is closed source.

I'm in the middle of installing Windows for business purposes, and this is far from my experience. I've yet to see it "just work."

Installation was a hassle! THREE hours just staring at a various setting-up screens. And then it has the gall to bully me for using an offline account; it screeches about my "diminished experience" because I refuse to accede to its native advertising. Want to uninstall Edge? Sorry, your moral superiors at Microsoft decided it's better for your own good that you don't.

Now I'm having to jump through hoops to figure out how to get it to use a shared directory, all because Microsoft decided they _just_ had to cut its own path through the CLI jungle as opposed to just using bog-standard bash.

The ecosystem seems user-hostile and full of more bullshit than any amount of Linux. I just don't see it.

What would a better researched view of history say?

I'm not trying to troll you or make you write an essay here - just trying to glean the main points of what you believe so I can see your point of view.

Are you familiar with the view that the "Turing Test" was first conceived by Turing as a challenge to discern the gender of a human hidden behind a screen?

In my comment I was trying to point to Turing's interests in the nature of gender and humanity. I find that expansive and prescient in the sense that "computing" to us moderns is more about NLP than calculating maths, and yet, it's all the same thing under the hood.
Nope. Watch the dotted line ahead of the car on the left side of the screen. At the last moment, it suddenly removes the "continue on this road" line, and replaces it with a "go down the road to the right" line. It literally decided to make a sudden turn.

You might also notice that while pedestrians and other vehicles are displayed on-screen, not a single one of the solid concrete pillars are displayed. That car is completely blind to them, and at any moment could have made a sudden LEFT turn into one of them.

They should have limited the charge from the beginning. No way the engineers didn’t realize deep cycling is bad for the battery.
I personally don't think those withdrawals are truly orderly. Let's take India - leaving aside the partition of India (which is a huge matter in itself), a big crime is that the country that was left behind by the British did not resemble its historical culture or way of governance. It was instead turned into a secular nation, which just means defaulting to a status quo of colonial Western values. Ironically the partitioned areas (like the Islamic Republic of Pakistan) were not secular, but Hindus no longer had a land to practice a life that was fully dictated by their principles and their principles alone - instead they would live by rules and structures the British left behind. India also retained a lot of colonial structures outside of its government. For example the British education system continued, meaning that Indian children were taught out of Western-controlled/sourced materials that glossed over the horrors of British rule. Those children were also not taught the cultural things they would have learned in a pre-colonial era. This pattern isn't unique to India, but I wanted to call it out as an example of how seemingly peaceful withdrawals still result in long-lasting damage to a people and their culture. Is that peace? Maybe in the most literal sense. But it's not the same as making that place whole.
No let’s not ignore the loss of over 1 million lives. Borders are still contested, with several wars having been fought, the scale of the disaster dwarfs Vietnam.
Keep in mind that when you buy an NFT, you aren't getting your museum experience. You're still looking at a reproduction of those bits on a computer monitor. None of these NFTs are actually allowing you to view the original work the same way that you would be able to with a painting in a museum.

Not only are there no physical differences (the bits transmitted from Google images and from the NFT link are physically the same) -- there's also not a real metaphyiscal or conceptual difference, because the bits being transmitted when you look at an NFT's link are not original and have no inherent link to the original, they're copies, just like you would get transmitted from any other link.

It's more like going to a museum and buying a special ticket to see the Mona Lisa, but instead of actually seeing the original Mono Lisa in all its glory, you instead go into a separate room where you sit down at a laptop and still look at a JPEG of the Mona Lisa.
The difference is that retail is split over many companies and there is good competition. You also have the option to open your own store to sell your products.

You don't realistically have that option for phones. It's insane to require a company to build their own phone hardware, OS, app store, and get the majority of people to switch over to it before you can sell books without paying a 3rd party for it.

That’s a claim that requires evidence. And either way you’re making a classic fallacy via the rational actor model, where you’re personifying the US and asserting that the US “realized” something.

A far more accurate take is that big business continued to consolidate money and power and successfully used political influence to neuter the regulatory agencies.

That's insane. For (probably) a majority of owners it makes the car unusable if you adhere to that restriction.

If I had one then I would have nowhere to park it. Certainly not at work. And at home with once car in the driveway and another in front of the house they couldn't be 50 feet apart. In tightly packed houses even one driveway to the next isn't 50 feet apart.

If you went shopping and we're lucky enough to manage to find a space 50 feet away, there's no guarantee someone wouldn't park closer, though I can't even think of a place I go where finding such a spot in the first place is at all likely.
Park outside the garage in the driveway, or next to your neighbor's car that won't return your mower they borrowed six weeks ago.
I think it would be good. If you drive your car or charge it out of those ranges it can catch on fire. Removing that area of "ordinary things you can do with your car and it might make it burn up" is exactly why that is important to consider. There must be hundreds of thousands of bolts and at least some of those customers have not heard about this. The other side of it is hey you took something away from my car and I don't like that. GM has to deal with this by fixing people's cars and giving them monetary compensation.
Interesting article, thanks for sharing. How many people are at your company?
what about those of us thay have our car parked next to a bolt on the street. 100 feet is 5 parking spaces give or take.

Most non-native speakers don't really use "British" or "American" English anyway, but rather a mixture of both, not infrequently unaware that a particular word or phrase belongs to one or the other variant. My English girlfriend didn't know what "parenthesis" are for example; turns out it's very much an American thing – I had no idea – and it's brackets in British English apparently. There's been a few other confusions like this, and I still can't remember if "lift" is the American and "elevator" the British or vice-versa.
I'm not sure I understand the Florida example. Deaths per Capita are currently spiking in Florida again and not in places with strong vaccination rates.

The reason I repeat the point about "breakthrough" infections is that vaccinations are not a cure all and we can't just leave everyone to personal responsibility on vaccination/no vaccinations.

Also, importantly, not everyone can get vaccinated, they are more likely to be infected by those unvaccinated and are affected by the unvaccinated's use of our scarce hospital resources.

Mask mandates and higher vaccination rates seem to result in lower infection rates in pretty much every empirical study I've seen. And in places where they are fought tooth and nail like Florida, people disproportionately tend to die.
I wonder if they'll start taking a don't ask don't tell (e.g. simply stop doing research) approach due to these leaks. No other social media company is actually studying this so why take all the heat?
