Sorry you got access revoked. I accidentally did a net send (via the GUI) to the whole district domain instead of my friend in AP CS that said "Time for break!" right before the snack break.

In my next class, the teacher was talking about "Time for break" virus going around... :/

This was after the district IT wanted to suspend me for setting up a Windows 2000 domain for the yearbook lab, so I kept my mouth shut.
Yeah, OK, I could have used some phrase like "directing your main attention to" in stead of "thinking".

I used them as synonyms because I assumed the GP meant "thinking" as in thinking with concentration about some specific issue(s), which tends to divert your attention from your surroundings far more than the idle stream-of-consciousness / daydreams we all have going in the back of our heads all the time. Didn't you?

Should probably have said "When you're driving, the rest of the world would prefer you to concentrate on your driving and your surroundings, traffic, pedestrians etc. Deep actual thinking is far better done while walking than while driving."

But that wouldn't have made for a snappy turn-his-own-words-against-him comeback. :-)
I'll go mask off: yeah, I think "nudging" is probably necessary in a country where 45% of people legitimately believe in ghosts and 30% believe they've interacted with one before.

You've got to be in a serious intellectual bubble to be thinking that most people are carefully considering the options and making the best choices for themselves.
The way the govt did these codes was ridiculous. Many retailers put them behind a glossy protective plastic, and they are so hard to scan and really slow things down unnecessarily. I guess they were rolled out quickly or by someone inexperienced with QR codes.
It depends on how regulated the particular industry is. If you're building consumer web apps at a startup, it probably won't matter. If you want to be a government contractor, it's probably a nonstarter.
My thoughts as well and spent some time trying to think of how and details and it still don't seem to feel right.

Roof don't look substantial enough to slow something that size and dare say density enough for it to be finally stopped by a pillow. Then the entry marks, just don't feel right, given the speeds and also the temps, I'd expect some entry marks and in a way, a more cleaner hole perhaps. Then the aspect that it would still be hot and no pillow would be able to withstand the kinda heat it would still have.

Too much of this feels off, so be interesting how those tests come out.

Makes me wonder - how hard is it to fake a meteorite?

> And that move to microservices—in combination with cloud—unleashes a whole new level of autonomy and empowerment for developers who, often coming from a more restrictive ops-controlled environment on prem, introduce all sorts of new programming languages, compute platforms, databases, and other technologies.

You need standards, without that SRE is pointless. Everything needs a standard method of monitoring. As an e.g. - stick to Java/Spring Boot, MariaDB and K8S. That will generally cover 85% of your use cases.

The automation and advantage of SRE is derived through standards and familiarity with the tool chain.
I'm assuming the last layer of ceiling it penetrated slowed it down enough. A pillow and bed can also absorb the shock better than something rigid.

I'd also assume that someone who is in shape can throw a rock hard enough that it penetrates dry wall easily, yet not penetrate a pillow. Similar amounts of energy were probably involved by the time the meteorite had entered the bedroom.
Sounds like it may have hit the mattress before rolling between the pillows, and the photo and title are mildly sensationalizing with hitting the pillow directly.

Addendum: to answer the obvious question, it's very difficult to test on unseen "OOD" data, because you don't have the "ground truth" for it. It is possible to do such "extrinsic" evaluation of a machine learning system but it takes time - time generally spent with the system operating in a real-world environment ("in deployment"). By that time, the system you want to test might already be obsolete, because better (lab-based) results have been published and there's no point in trying to publish an extrinsic evaluation of an old system, especially if the extrinsic evaluation shows that performance degraded by 20% compared to the lab-based evaluation, let alone the new SOTA.

So results on truly-unseen, OOD data are never published, if they are ever collected at all, and the field advances one meaningless published benchmark-beating SOTA result at a time. In the end, despite all the hype, nobody has any idea how well neural networks, er, work, in practice. We only know how well they do on test datasets.

Oh, alright. Some people who deploy large neural nets for google and friends have an intuition about how well they work. A ... feeling.
Never press F12 while browsing. Instant hacker.

Seriously, I found a state website that appeared to be exposing NPI about certain people in an API response. So much NPI nicely formatted in a JSON response. I closed the page and never touched it again. You know the state will declare me a dangerous and sophisticated hacker because I pressed F12 to open the developer tools, that's much easier than admiring they made a mistake.

I thought they were going after Ruffle. I was all ready to be outraged and -- nope, if he's illegally redistributing the binary that's a legit action. If he distributed a patchkit, maybe that would technically be on the right side of copyright law (at least in the USA), but Adobe would still probably cry havoc and let slip the dogs of lawfare.

Can someone explain how NFTs accomplish Coinbase's mission, which is to "increase economic freedom in the world"?
It's somewhat irrelevant how many unnatural data there is. The point is that there's way more plausible data (or sentences if we're restricting ourselves to natural language) than there are possible 160; 256 or 512 bit hashes.

Unless of course you enumerate all of human communication, but like I said that doesn't count as 'easy'.
My issue with this kind of reasoning is the comparison and reference to the human brain. The potential and reach of AI transcends the brain. We never had to master the "mystery" of how birds fly to invent aviation. It was never necessary to compare the number of turbine revolutions of early airplanes to the number of an eagle's feathers. Maybe birds were an inspiration or a metaphor, but thankfully aviation has not been limited to the means of propulsion of the beautiful yet humble pigeon. The potential of aviation has taken us into space exploration and massive international travel. I don't know where AI will take us, but I don't think it will be constrained by this temporary organ called 'human brain'.

It stops being a microservice when a developer starts saying, "oh! We can do X in service Y too! It already does ${similar work} and reads/writes from/to ${data source}, so why not?"

The intended model is to do one thing, thus enabling surgical changes to functionality without having to rebuild everything. As long as you stick to your API contracts, you can muck around with the internals without effecting anything else.

As a creator you absolutely CAN validate ownership of your creation uniquely from anything else ever minted. That's the whole point. Someone else can't just mint the same thing and pass the same digital validation.

Example: If I were a famous artist, sold NFTs with my art, said you could only enter my gallery opening if you are an owner, you absolutely can't fake that by "minting your own". The signatures wouldn't match.

OK, downvoted. The point of my comment was not that software cannot be aligned or co-located with hardware. As others pointed out C/C++ is just as capable. My point was that spending the first 75% of the video recounting H/W advances which is based in formal science (chem-eng and the rest) is orthogonal to software. Moore's law does not carry over into software. The video could have just started by pointing out with H/W specialization there are more places to put Rust code. This way 99% of the video could have been on the OP's like of Rust. Right? The top comment shares much the same sentiment: "Skip towards the end and Cantrill..."
Python 3.9 fork without GIL
I won't make numerical estimates here, but we can consider that:

- the piece of meteorite had already achieved terminal velocity,

- most of the remaining energy was lost on the collision with the layers of the roof and

- final collision was dampened by the pillow, mattress foam and bed structure.

By the size of of the object on the photograph, if it has approximately the same density of earth stones, the story seems 100% believable.

That only works in a society with a certain baseline of trust, accountability, and empathy. If you remember 2019, things were already hyper-partisan, a large minority of the population was in a cult of disinformation, and the media was reeling from the shift away from print and moving towards a clickbaiting 24-hour news cycle.

It's a scam. Mental illness, susceptibility to certain messaging, or even lack of intelligence can make people easy targets to be exploited by financial scams.

Some believe they have the right to not be pillaged, because a society looks out for its weakest.

Some believe: too bad, let 'em crash-n-burn and grind em into haggis when they fall. That's life.

The question is: do we want to let the cons prey on the weak in our society? I'm sure it'll never possible to stamp out all the possible ways to exploit people, but I think it wouldn't hurt to help protect people who aren't hip to the con.

I waffle about this issue. For example, when I see people throwing their life savings at a rich Prosperity Gospel preacher (google that shit, it is totally bonkers and elderly fall for it!) I fall into group #1, but when I see people gobbling up Kardashian NFTs, I fall into group #2.

I think the point of view that nearly half of your fellow citizens aren't capable of making good choices is pretty silly.

I think sane citizens supporting patriarchal rulers, especially when those rulers have proven themselves basically selfish and untrustworthy, their shameless behaviour openly on display for decades, is super surprising.

By the way, that's Thaler's own description: patriarchal. He views the ruling class as basically responsible for cajoling and nudging an unruly mass of unthinking golems toward some future state.

It seems you're a big fan of this patriarchs. Seems strange to support that unless you're part of the ruling class. If so, more power to ya, if not, can I ask why you think they're qualified in any way to do this nudging? Why do you think the outcomes they want are going to be good for you personally?

> There was a time, long ago, when we expected objectivity from google in search, etc.

Not sure what kind of "objectivity" you are demanding here. Hypothetically, if someone searched for "who created linux" and if there happened to be a really popular page that started with "Steve Jobs created Linux in the summer of 1978..." at the first spot, everyone working at Google Search would have considered it a failure and asked "How can we fix this?", definitions of objectivity be damned.

Denying climate change is not that different. It's not "wrongthink", it's simply wrong, and hence less useful to users than results that are not wrong.
> If they want to decide to not want [ ... ]

As I said in another comment, one of the problems with this approach is the the actual process of decision making for such issues is deeply flawed. The question of who "they" is and precisely how "they decide" is far from simple; the answer is certainly not "the citizens of Vancouver".

Retrospectively, I do think that my comparison with bans on various protected groups was a bit silly. Even so, these decisions are not some simple mapping from "the will of the people", and that means that it's not as simple as "they get to decide".
Limiting access to the road, e.g. using pedestrian overpasses, fencing, segregated sidewalks and bike lanes, etc... is among the options I had in mind. I don't think one solution fits every problematic road.
Last time people said this ( 2017), there weren't much payments in practice.

I don't think anything changed. They added support for crypto in the past and removed later on too, similar to a couple of years ago ( eg. Steam, Amazon, ... ).
I question your premise. If you analyze "by weight instead of by volume" then I maintain that all of the important projects you hear about--think of the decentralized exchanges or lending platforms, such as Uniswap--do not have back doors in their contracts for centralized code updates: when Uniswap wants to build a new version, they release a totally new system that happens to share a name.

That there are a large number of silly projects most people haven't heard of, or random tutorials on the web for getting started in crypto, that involve building contracts with backdoors is no different from any technology... most stuff isn't scalable or even slightly secure, even if the products from the biggest companies and used by the most people tend to be: like think how many websites have ubiquitous SQL or HTML injection attacks... only "by volume" (looking at the total number of such websites, irrespective of how much use they get) as "by weight" (looking at the websites you use during the course of a day by how much you use them) I bet almost none of them do.
I'm not disputing that there are options, since there certainly are- I was refuting the parent's assertion that buying a used model or one from an earlier generation are among them.

That's another part of this issue. Traffic enforcement in the US is more ideological than it is utilitarian. Automated enforcement tools like red light cameras and speeding sensors run into intense political pushback in the US. Speeding tickets are usually ways to boost revenue instead of actually trying to deter speeding behavior. Traffic stops are arbitrary and usually based on the political and ideological goals of the Police department and current local government party instead of actually trying to reduce traffic incidents. In fact, as far as I know, traffic incidents are mostly used to drive infrastructure changes instead of really feeding into changing traffic policing.

There's real political pushback from trying to actually decrease traffic incidents because actions to decrease these incidents result in higher overhead for current drivers, something historically lightly enforced.
