I'm actually in complete agreement! What sticks out to me is your assessment that the flight environment is "embarrassingly simple from an automation perspective", which I agree as well (as compared to cars). And yet despite that simplicity and decades at it, we still run it with an incredible robust infrastructure to have a human oversee the tech. We have super robust procedures for checking and cross-checking the automation, defined minimus and tolerances for when the automation needs to cease to operate the aircraft, training solely focused on operating the automation etc. But with cars, we somehow are super comfortable with cars severely altering behavior in a split-second, super poor driver insight or feedback on the automation, no training at all, with a human behind the wheel who in every marketing material known to man has been encouraged to trust the system far more than the tech (or law), would ever have you prudently do.

I'm with you that they are super different, and that the auto case is likely much, much harder. But I see that and can't help but think that the path we should be following here is one with a much greater and healthy skepticism (and far greater human agency) in this automation journey than we are currently thinking is needed.

This isn't true in any meaningful sense. The influx are cash-fat transplants from even more expensive areas.

I do applaud the use of Politics and Asylum in the same sentence. FL politics are a whole lot like FL State Mental Institutions.
I suspect the framework has a way of handling users and logging on, as that's a common thing in most websites.

Obviously the business logic differs for every different business, and i expect that would be harder to do.
it was the same with GWT (google-web-toolkit) it looked nice and many jumped to the bandwagon. But when something didn't work as expected you had to know a lot about debugging javascript (the internal work of javascript) and guess about the generation logic from java and think backwards. After all, you had to know more (then simply js) for debugging! And of course if your boss wanted something custom..
I clicked through because it sounded interesting (and still does) but without any kind of examples it's hard to get started.
Also, what could possibly save the most lives: simply ML the hell out of people’s faces to notice when they are getting sleepy. That’s almost trivial and should be mandatory in a few years.

A more advanced problem would be safely stopping in case the driver falls asleep/looses consciousness, eg. on a highway. that short amount of self-driving is less error-prone than the alternative.
I fully agree. And this obsession with shiny delicate paint everywhere, so that even the slightest smudge shows up making the car look worn and dirty and old. On top of that, the slightest dent can't be popped or hammered out, and it just encourages the viewing of cars as lifestyle items rather than utilitarian ones.

This is ridiculous. Despite watching both videos on the linked page I can't actually find the footage of her but presumably she was drinking something before it was shot. I don't think anyone expects you to redon a mask in between sips.
Consider that I moved here from Alameda, CA where I also only had DSL. I have yet to see "reliable broadband access" anywhere I've lived in the US (5 states).

Even though we have "choice" its generally: Comcast Cable or DSL (some other "subpar" option).

I detest Comcast and wish our country had actual ISP competition. And Comcast isn't available at my address either.

I was pretty heavy into the QBasic community in the 2000s, and move into the FreeBASIC community once it was stable.

I'd highly recommend FreeBASIC, especially if you enjoy C-style programming. Lots of good libraries and good C library support (give or take writing the headers by hand or translating)

I tried QB64, but I'd only recommend that if you want nostalgia. By default, it gives that classic QBasic IDE interface, and feels very self contained.
It's sad because I remember being able to find new and interesting creators passively. Now the main page is all corporate BS and the algorithm locks you in. We played a bit of WOW Classic last year and all of a sudden I was just flooded with Asmongold videos and videos of people clipping and replaying Asmongold. It took a day of "never show this again" to make it stop.
When I was about 12 or 13 I ran a website called freelin.org. This was around 2001. Its goal was to provide Linux on CD to anyone who asked, globally, without cost. My hope was that donations would cover costs. They didn’t. I tried my best to supply everyone based on pocket money (allowance) at the time. To my shame, a few people who donated £1 didn’t get a CD. If this was you, please let me know and I will make it up to you. I apologise.

My guess is that university culture changed a lot over the last couple of decades, as well as the mainstream perception of computing technology and the Internet shifting from a neat science fiction type thing that some of us dreamed about to being completely ubiquitous.

Most of the technology that powered the Internet in some form or another came out of the Universities prior to the dot-com boom. If you wanted to do something interesting with computers and networks on a scale that mattered, academia was really your only option. (Yes there were BBSes and AOL, and dial-up Internet in most areas. But in terms of what you could do, those were like driving a golf cart on the autobahn.)

Now that the Internet is everywhere and programming as a career path is seemingly as popular as nursing or construction, the direction if the Internet is largely being determined by large companies and governments, not the people (or even the type of people) who built it. I suspect university CS departments probably lost that "wacky misfit club" atmosphere a long time ago. I'm sure the insane-and-rising cost of higher education isn't helping things out either.

All that said, lots of Universities do still provide material support for open source software in the form of hosting and mirrors. For example, around half of all Ubuntu and Debian mirrors are universities. The OSU open source lab hosts infrastructure for a variety of projects.

I also feel like we can "blame" Github here, since it (and a few other sites/projects like it) have become the de facto place to host source code and collaboration tools. (Whereas in the past it would have been an FTP/HTTP site and a mailing list.)
Hi!

Sorry, yes this is an interface I quickly put together myself using Agora's APIs. I was live for a few hours after posting yesterday. I'm surprised to come back and see the post has some upvotes/interest, so I'll go live again for a while in case anyone sees this.

This is kind of an experiment. Advancements in near-zero latency WebRTC broadcasting mixed with good old iframes have made possible a streaming environment where streamers and viewers can play third party games together without leaving the platform.

This works well with multiplayer games that require no sign up and can have private lobbies shared via a URL. The options now are limited, but it's easy to imagine a future where such games are built with the platform in mind. Games could support the platform's usernames, streamer/viewer distinctions, etc.

Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you join me for a bit!
I was somewhat surprised to see that the django.core.cache module didn't support an mmap based cache. The default cache is per-process, so it's somewhat limited in effectiveness. Something like Redis solves that, but adds another running process to manage.

In the PHP world, for example, acpu is a popular user-facing cache that uses mmap so that it works cross-process, then you can move to redis if you want to scale across more than one host.

It's interesting that you chose that link to illustrate your point. The only thing Glacier NP did wrong was being overly-pessimistic. But anyone that has been to Glacier in, say, 2010 or prior can visit today and see quite visibly noticeable differences. I'm hardly qualified to give even a half-assed prediction, but it wouldn't surprise me much if it turns out that Glacier NP was just 10 years off in their prediction, and I certainly wouldn't expect to see much in the way of glaciers in 2040.

Glacier NP isn't the only place that I've looked up and wondered, "wasn't that a lot bigger when we were here ten years ago?", either.
I have made an easy programming language, which is not BASIC, but has some similarities with the old home computer BASIC variants. Variables don't have to be declared, you can draw on the screen with simple commands, you don't have to install anything and you can start right away, etc.

Not even then. The pandemic has made it very clear how good people are at ignoring a disaster happening around them. And look at the Texas response to its power crisis last winter.
I was going to say the same about Python. The absence of drama in the community is a key selling point for the language.

There is a law in Russia (going into effect next year) that large IT companies must have local presence, otherwise they will be banned from operating in the country. I believe this is inspired by a similar law in China.
Gitea has a ton of issues, sadly. We self-hosted an instance where we had a number of mirrors and whatnot to have redundant copies of third-party dependencies. The server would deadlock, mirror tasks would time out and then couldn't be restarted, etc.

We filed an issue (or maybe two) and the developers were... eh. A bit rude, to be honest. Dismissive that it was really an issue, where restarting and deleting/re-configuring was a massive PITA.

Therefore, I can't really rec Gitea myself. I wish something like it existed though. That's for sure. Gitlab is just too bloated for my taste and our needs.
So... would 128 Gb ram be enough for one of these apps?

In other words, record companies are killing music, and it's legal. That's what we need to fix.

Record companies are paying for the music. It takes a lot of money to produce tracks. Most artists never get enough fans or sales to pay off the investment the record company made in them, so the hits very much pay for the failures.
You're right but somehow I would think that YT should know which videos I've already watched...
Or, you know, people who can read the data. And no, you can't convince me with names, threats, warnings, tears or any amount of nonsense.
Not yet. All codex is is a probabilistic english to $PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE compiler.

Compilers (Fortran) where also first sometimes marketed as “automatic programmers”.

Programming still requires more abstract thought than talking to a smart speaker. Automating it requires artifical general intelligence, albeit not necessarily at human level but perhaps below it with human level domain specific knowledge in programming.
Personally, I carefully guard my youtube feed (same as twitter). I vigorously cull (`dont recommend/not interested`) dull videos whenever they pop up. Once a month, I will go over my history and remove items that I didn't particularly care for in retrospect. Youtube's recommendation has gotten really useful for me overtime. It keeps my curiosity well-satisfied.
Because ecologists are often left-wing people, and talking about overpopulation would shift the blame from the occident to Africa and Asia.

Edit: as an example of that, look at that map of mismanaged plastic https://ourworldindata.org/plastic-pollution#share-of-global.... Do you think that fighting against plastic straws and bags had any kind of meaningful impact?

That car would be a death trap in the U.S. because most Americans feel the need to choose their personal vehicle as if it's some sort of urban tank. It would get crushed by even a small SUV or truck.

I'd love to live in a world where it's safe to be on the road driving a scooter, moped, smartcar, etc., without worrying if Karen in her Humvee is going to flatten me because she literally can't see the street within 20ft of her bumper.
It's mentioned in one of the follow up articles to that one, and I don't recall which, but the the second generation of the Changli went way more "actual car" in styling and looks extremely similar to the QQ today: https://www.changliev.com/

(ETA: I've also loved following the Changli chronicles on Jalopnik, and people don't believe me when I say that the car industry needs to be keeping an eye on Chinese EV companies because they are doing really interesting things in the low end of the cost spectrum that could catch other manufacturers by surprise.)
Sounds like a Tata Nano, which I've had the misfortune of driving. It could get up 100 kmh only downhill with a tailwind though. I tested it.
If employees had options/stock, then there would be preferred shares in the picture too. They usually go hand in hand with stock options.

I still believe MC is somewhat better than the more common scenarios where employee pay more in taxes on stock than what they get from stock
The price of gas primarily affect the poor way more than the rich. They both pay the same but while one is paying 15% of their wages for petrol, the other is paying <1%. Simultaneously, the poor are being pushed further from the urban core, and jobs, and are spending more, in time and money, to get to those jobs.

People don't like that. A friend of mine likes driving his car, and does so a lot to go places on the weekend and stuff. He'd like to see the government mandate reduced car usage. I've asked him: you're free not to use your car, why do you still use it if you believe it would be best if you didn't? Because he likes it and if it's not made into law, he won't do what he thinks is best.

"We should outlaw personal air travel, but until that has happened, I'm going to fly around the globe" is what I see in far too many proponents of those rules.

I have no idea what goes on in their head, it's completely alien to me.
Amazing stuff.

Don't exhibit the behavior you're opposed to. Pre-emptively stop bad behavior by telling stories that something bad will happen.

I do wonder if this approach has social-size limits? Kind of like Santa Clause, where city kids tend to find out sooner than rural kids.

When demand exceeds 100% of normal capacity it reflects a lack of elasticity in the system rather than fragility.

I'll acknowledge the wood shortage though due to beetles eating the supply and saw mills ramping down right as demand was shooting up.

More broadly, no, I am not seeing this "critical pieces have only so much slack left to stretch." Seems like hyperbole without substance. What are these critical pieces that are just about to fail?

Most systems have this issue. I've described it as a 'fear of recommending something you hate'. They know you watched X video from Y channel, so there is a good chance you'd like Z video that has a similar fanbase or content.

However, it becomes this echo chamber of only recommending the same content over and over again because they don't want to suggest something you don't like. That's because to their metrics, you don't watch it all, you don't see the ads, and then you "potentially" leave their platform because there's "nothing you like on it".
A presidential candidates crackhead son laundering payoffs from foreign governments is a distraction?
Good read, because it’s true. Yes, we can have more abstraction. They are called libraries and frameworks. React being one in the JS world so that nobody has to write document.querySelector all the time.

But programming is about edge cases and thus, many, many rules how things should behave in every imaginable scenario.
That's my default when working. I love the coffeeshop: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/cafeRestaurantNoiseGenerat...

Every aspect of the sound can be changed with sliders. Increase the background babble, decrease the silverware, etc. I really do believe that a little hubub of background conversation that I can't make out helps me tune out the rest of the world.

I love OP's for it's silliness, though. Not sure I actually want hospital sounds or zombie invasion while I work, but it's good to know I have that option.

Humans are ridiculously bad at overseeing something that mostly works. That’s why it is insanely more dangerous.

Also, the problem is “easy” for the general case, but the edge cases are almost singularity-requiring. The former is robot vacuum level, the latter is out of our reach for now.
Sure but they've been shrinking for twenty thousand years so I don't see this as definitive.
Yeah, but burning $183 to add $71 in revenue is a tough pill to swallow.

Sure, it probably will pay back eventually, but as an investor, you really have to be bullish on retention/expansion. to get a reasonable LTV out of that.

Most bulls have been right in the past, but eventually the music stops (look at the tenuous position Slack was in before acquisition).
Between ~1880 and ~1920, the physical sciences made huge, crazypants leaps both in theory and experimentally. The rest of the 20th century was spent catching up with all the implications of those leaps. Now, the sciences have a set of very powerful ideas that have a bad habit of producing the right answers as far as anyone can see, but which have very visible holes and don't fit together. Thus, stagnation.

On the other hand, it may just be a return to the normal status quo.
The big issue we have with GitLab is the pricing. Ultimate is literally five (!!!) times more than premium. And there are only a couple of features that we want from ultimate.
Because why would you do things for free, when you can pay for them?
I'm not using any scientific tools for now, but I think the changes coming are a good reason to run away from the cities. The shift to work from home have made this even easier than before. I wouldn't want to be there when the climate refugees arrive.

Kudos to the author for making this framework.

I am using this for my personal project: https://www.biblemaze.com which is a Bible trivia game.

Here are some things I like about Seed:

1. The Elm architecture seems to flow nicely in Rust.

2. The way of defining the elements on the page is more Rust like rather than html like. I initially tried Yew which is another similar framework, but since I am a more backend developer, I found writing in a more Rust style more comfortable than writing in a more html-like dsl. Other with different experiences may be more comfortable with more html-like syntax.

3. Very easy to perform REST API calls. I am using Actix for the backend, and I have a shared library that declares the types which both the backend and frontend use. This is one big advantage for using Rust for both backend and frontend, in that you never have to worry about your types getting out of sync.

4. In general as to why Rust for the front end, apart for being able to share types, for more complex algorithms, for me, having a compiled language with an emphasis on safety and that tries to ensure correctness as much as compile time (and especially pattern matching) makes writing complex code more enjoyable for me.

5. Excellent documentation on the Seed website. There are lots of examples and walkthroughs of basics as well as examples of how to do stuff like integrate with Javascript libraries.

Anyway, thanks again to the authors for making and supporting such an awesome library.

I'm sorry that you're in this painful situation. Personally I don't think the root problem is YouTube — rather, it's your parents' confirmation bias. They want to believe these things.

I've watched Alex Jones videos myself. I did not leave wanting more and no recommendation algo could change that. (Lest I leave the wrong impression, the same is true of AOC going live on IG.)
Are you able to actually use the calculator? You’ve linked the documentation page for it, but the actual tool seems restricted.

They certainly are trying very hard, as far as I can tell. Tesla's efforts on data collection and simulation of their algorithm are incredibly impressive. But part of why it is so necessary is that there is an opaqueness to the ML decision-making that I don't think anyone has quite effectively cracked. I do wonder, for instance, if the decision to go solely with the cameras and no LIDAR will prove to ultimately be a failure. The camera-only solution requires the ML model to accurately account for all obstacles, for example. As crude, and certainly non-human as it is, a LIDAR with super crude rules for "dont hit an actual object" would have even at this point prevented some of their more widely publicized fatal accidents which relied on the algorithm alone.
Surprised to see them IPO, IMO their best chance for their biggest valuation was to sell to AWS or GCP after they realize losing GitHub to MS/Azure was a major competitive disadvantage.

From their financials they've raised 415M total and are still making a loss that's widening for what looks like is only 3,632 customers (ARR>5k), i.e. 114k raised per base customer.

They'll likely have a successful exit but not very optimistic about their future given they have to compete with ubiquity and deep pockets of GitHub/MS and going IPO makes an acquisition target less likely. Given they have formidable and dominant competition with GitHub who's been executing on all cylinders I'll be steering clear of this IPO.
so we all know that some 10,000 temperature reading stations get ommited from most climate change whitepapers, leaving with with ~7,200 legacy 1973 stations in which to use for our much bias/less readings and analysis.

But I’ve yet to read how today’s whitepaper sought to compensate for creeping but heat-producing urban and suburban sprawl.

What I really want to see is how are the rural regions faring decade-over-decade.
