> Then they decide to go to Mendocino

Again, that's a multi-mode failure. You're assuming that (1) edge cases must exist somewhere where FSD is unsafe, (2) that drivers will find them, and (3) that when they do, the existing supervised beta paradigm won't work. In isolation any of those can happen, sure. But in combination they're vanishing.

Broadly you're doing the luddite/reactionary thing and demanding perfection: as long as you can conjure a scenario in your head where something "might" happen you want to act as if it "will" and demand that we refuse to implement new solutions.

But the goal isn't perfection and never has been, for the simple reason that the existing solution also sucks really bad. Real human drivers in Mendocino with the sun in their eyes hit bikers too!

None of these stereotypes have any guidance for nonbinary people

Looks like quite the stereotype you've identified "nonbinary people". You'd do well to start comparing yourself to actual people instead of the stereotypes you have of them.
If any "inventor" is not listed as such on the patent, then it's another way to invalidate the patent. So while possibly not a benefit to the inventor, definitely good for the assignees to have clarity on the matter.
Exactly! Fuck those people who studied a topic for 40 years -- why would they know one iota more about it than I do, or the facebook group of my crazy uncle -- they all have access to Google, after all!

I, for one, refuse to defer to the authority of so-called experts, 'so-called' merely because of decades of experience in the field. Pah. For questions about cancer treatment, I typically just ask someone else in the Walmart aisle standing in front of Sauerkraut; for investment advice I ask the feral cat outside, when my car makes funny noises, I just throw a dart at a printout of an amazon page after I searched for 'car funny noises'.

Edit: Also, fuck pilots. Why do they think they can do anything better than I can? They hide behind their locked doors and just Google stuff, I just know it!
Internet is full of misinformation. From crackpot sites in allcaps with white text over a black background to very polished overhyped university press release with experimental treatments. Take all of them with a truckload of salt.

Start with some well known sources. I recommend:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/sympto...

Then try to go deeper in the dark alleys of internet, but go with caution.

Some important points:

Cancer has a lot of variation. It's like putting all the viral illness in the same bag. A common cold is caused by a virus, ebola is caused by a virus, and there are a lot of other viral illnesses in between. Each one has a very different treatment and prognosis. Cancer is a very big bag of related illnesses, that may be very different. This comic is a good explanation about the problem with cancer http://phdcomics.com/comics.php?f=1162

In many case, the most important question is "primary or metastatic". Try to understand what this mean. Also a good comic about this is https://xkcd.com/931/ I think it's miss the cases where the first treatment is good for 5-10 years, and then it's possible to have a second treatment and get another 5-10 year, and if you are lucky get continue iterating.
I loved Audiogalaxy but Soulseek was the best in its prime. Either way I miss those days. It felt like the whole world was open to sharing.

So much nonsensical bitterness...

You know that every car is made of toxic products and they can't stop using them, in your opinion is it more unhealthy 2 thousands Ferrari every year or millions of Volkswagen, their tires and motor/brake oil (which are highly toxic)

Should we get rid of VolksWagen too?

Dogmas are stupid.
I wouldn't say there aren't stable configurations. These systems tend to bounce between strange attractors (which are stable with variance), and the set of possible strange attractors is also probably stable given the life forms that are interacting.

Of course, on geological time scales massive events can disrupt the set of possible strange attractors, but then nothing is stable or permanent as you go out in time scope so I'm not sure that matters.

Maybe this is a good place to note that with the release of Safari 15 now every major browser has WebGL 2 enabled. It's finally possible to rely on WebGL 2 without excluding iOS users.

In America, we see vaccine hesitancy is highest among marginalized groups. Insular religious sects/cults, black Americans with little education, the white rural South. Some of these people will double down when mandated to get vaccinated. Some are in positions where vaccination would be social death to them (which is usually a bigger motivator than real death in humans).

It's unavoidable most of the impact of such policies will fall on some of society's more marginalized groups. A woman whose husband won't allow her to be vaccinated now loses her part-time job and social contacts. Some kid whose parents won't allow them to be vaccinated in a religious sect now loses contact with some of the few non-brainwashy social outlets they had. The job losses for non-vaccination will disproportionately affect the poor, uneducated, and racial minorities.

Maybe this is a necessary cost. But I hope people have really thought it through.

I checked out the second link and this is IMHO an interesting and thoughtful YouTube channel. These are not words that I co-locate often.

The linked video discusses the deep effect that urban planning can have sociologically; e.g. if a neighbourhood isn't walkable, kids don't walk, and if kids aren't out walking, kids not being out on their own can become normalised, and even lead to censure/punishment for children's independence.

Which seems crazy (to me, anyway) and very much at odds w/ what we want kids to grow into, e.g. that they be independent and active.

Talk about unintended consequences.

In my opinion the issue with pop-psych marketing constructs is that there are kernels of truth embedded within a misleading superstructure. They tend to leave you worse off because the structure (which is wrong, incomplete, misleading) is bundled with the kernels of truth. They also usually purport to be rosetta stones. There are exactly five love languages, and humans happen to each speak a different variety of them? Hmmmmm.

Another example: what if someone feels "loved" when they're bought gifts, but that's because they're materialistic, a gold digger? Likewise if someone wants to be touched because they're more interested in sex than a relationship, and they derive validation from your sexual interest. "It's just their Love Language" is technically correct, but it's the wrong lens to apply to those situations.
Part of the government's job is to have a plan to kill every/anyone. Or if there are too many people to kill efficiently, starve them in to compliance (which is the plan with a heavy sanctions regime). They are not nice people, but it isn't illegal.
I don't think it's that simple anymore. A person isn't necessarily inherently of the type to be committal or non-committal. Broadly speaking the choices can offer different rewards, but usually it's case-by-case, depending on the circumstances surrounding each prospective relationship.

An easy example in your early-mid 20s is the prospect of moving for work and education, and forgoing long-distance, but we can set this one aside because it's a heavy extraneous circumstance.

The early relationships I had carried a more laissez-faire "let's wait and see" attitude, at least on my part. Most people will not end up marrying their high-school sweetheart, but it's good to date around to discover ourselves and others. What I didn't count on was that a) emotional bonds will happen almost every time, and break ups will hit hard, and b) wait-and-see doesn't work very well for the long-run. People don't change that much. If you're committing in the hopes that you will feel more strongly about someone later, don't. And be honest about the way you feel as soon as you know it. Respect your time and others'.

I carried that non-committal approach into my 20s because I was an emotional fuck-up with lots of anxiety and plagued with insomnia. I couldn't be alone. It wasn't until later that I pulled the plug on a relationship and decided I wouldn't jump on another until I felt more certain about them. Now I'm married. I think we take for granted how difficult being alone can be for some people owing to x y struggles, which is unfair to their partners.

Relationships take work, both parties need to invest in each other. There will be times when things feel more stagnant and familiar, and times of great intimacy, etc. A common apprehension about commitment you hear is "won't I still be attracted to other people?". Yes, you will. It won't matter. "How do I know I'm not settling?". What? It's either a happy relationship or it isn't. Trying to min/max superficial attributes is a fool's errand. Tend to your garden. Rewards are way greater in a loving relationship.
The fact that the virus just popped out of nowhere more or less without the normal pedigree is strong evidence against a natural origin theory. It's pretty clear at this point that it was a lab escape, in my opinion.
Bit of a trolling headline, imo, by a couple of AEI guys.

Interestingly, the one author's dad is a historian, presumably one not so tied ideologically to an org like AEI -- wonder if they talk shop.

The authors' contention seems to be that, while China is a rising power compared to the rest of the countries in the world not named USA, it is now being confronted more directly by the US -- also a declining power -- but one that is still vastly more powerful than any other country on earth.

So now that the US has fully committed to its War on China, China's prospects for global influence/domination are much more circumscribed than they were even a few years ago, so therefore they are a declining power, and the US will continue to put the squeeze on, so that the US remains the undisputed dominant imperial power in the world.

It's a specious or disingenuous argument, imo.

It's a bit like saying, well, I made one million dollars yesterday, which is more than 99.99% of the world made yesterday, but Bezos made three hundred million dollars yesterday, so really, in actuality, I have less spending power today than i did yesterday.

Regardless, I'd prefer the US worked less hard at imperialism and more hard at respecting human rights, defusing nuclear war (with China and others), and maybe even trying to slow instead of speed the end of humanity as we know it through complete ecological collapse.

And the Clipper Chip:

https://reason.com/2015/04/09/the-feds-want-a-back-door-into...

"One fine day in 1991, an ambitious senator named Joe Biden introduced legislation declaring that telecommunications companies "shall ensure" that their hardware includes backdoors for government eavesdropping. Biden's proposal was followed by the introduction of the Clipper Chip by the National Security Agency (NSA) and a remarkable bill, approved by a House of Representatives committee in 1997, that would have outlawed encryption without back doors for the feds."

The man is an authoritarian, him playing an absent minded nice man of advanced age and his empty SJW phrases don't change that. You can get real glimpses of the personality like him "losing patience with the unvaccinated" lately.

This is more likely at a young age, i.e. teens into 20s. If you meet your partner in your late 20s and up, they're unlikely to change in significant fashion. Important to consider in pairing with the advice that you can't change a person. Expect a douche to remain a douche.

> Facebook

> GitLab and GitHub

As for Facebook, I think the only way such a frontend to that would work is to use a Facebook account to scrape walled garden content and present it externally to users. I'm not sure Facebook would like that however since it hurts their bottom line. They would probably code against such tools, and then we have a whack-a-mole scenario.

As for Gitlab & Github; I see no reason for a frontend since they don't hide things behind a login prompt and their UI is pretty intuitive (albeit a bit bulky and bloated).

Honestly curious, where in the world do you live? Equating sustainable with lower quality is really odd to me and I don’t think anywhere at least in Northern Europe.

If companies are producing just to get the lowest cost, it ends up being trash. Whenever anyone aims for sustainable products it’s obvious it will come at a higher price and quality becomes essential. That’s at least wha we see in all the sustainable products here

What an amazing write-up!

I've picked up those things peace by peace form Wikipedia to be able to understand the slang in Haskell land. But it was a long and puzzling process. This great summary offered here will hopefully help other people in the future get a coherent picture more quickly. (I hope the SEO is good so people will find it. I'm at least going to recommend it form now on whenever someone asks related questions).

It could be extended with type-theory I guess.

Also I would be interested to know more about the relation of those things described with abstract geometry and/or topology.

But it's fantastic already as it stands!

If that's what your looking for, I find books that are adopted as university textbooks are best. i.e. C Programming Modern Approach by KN King, Object Pascal Handbook by Marco Cantu. Generally I'm staying away from O'Reilly, No Starch Press etc.. They all feel like books created by pasting a bunch of blog posts together. University texts are usually twice the price, but IMHO worth it - they are made for teaching knowledge, not just sharing it.
You’re not alone. I did the same and recall the cost being similar to what you mentioned.

Am I Mining to Somebody?
> Just two weeks ago there was a DUI event where a Tesla driver on AP literally passed out behind the wheel and the car was trivially brought to a stop anyway.

Nope, and this is a perfect example!

AP didn't save that person's life, or more specifically, AP wasn't not needed to save this person's life

Tesla made Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance standard on all Teslas a while back.

Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance only intervenes if the driver deviates from expected behavior

So situations where AP would avoid a collision while being in control, the car still has a feature using the same sensor suite and the same capabilities as AP to intervene.

A Tesla without AP would have stayed in it's lane in the absence of driver input and slowed to a halt with the flashers on.

Honestly a better outcome...

It's as simple as, AP is half heartedly handling the happy path + the unhappy path.

It's ok to not have perfect handling of the unhappy path as it does currently, something is better than nothing in 99% of cases. But it's not ok to have this mode that falsely gives drivers the impression they're covered on the happy path.

Like your example could not be more perfect because a person driving under the influence relied on AP to handle the happy path for them. Now you can get into "well maybe they would have driven anyways if it didn't have AP"

And that's where emergency LKA and AEB come in. They wouldn't have given this driver a crutch to get on the road, but if they still chose to drive, they'd avoid an accident in the same manner AP did once things went off the rails.

This all goes back to the fact that the convenience features by definition cannot save a life. AP, as in the feature manually activated to assist the driver actively, cannot save a life, because it only works on the happy path. Other features like LKA and AEB are what save lives

> This is postulating a two-mode failure! That's just bad engineering. Yes, that can happen, but by definition (involving two rare events overlapping) it's an extremely rare condition and will show only a vanishing frequency in any final statistics.

> Never compromise core features (in this case "don't let distracted drivers hit the thing in front of them") chasing this kind of thing. Work on the secondary/tertiary modes once you have everything else down.

I have no idea at all where any of this is coming from... please quote where I suggested core features should be compromised for secondary features.
