Sure, but if you're conducting the survey from a submarine you're 1) very nearly as detectable (the sonar is pinging like mad, China likely have hydrophones throughout the region) and 2) as noted, your consts, complications, and vulnerabilties have gone up markedly.

Given circumstances, something like a drone ship might be a better option. Slightly less detectable, cheap, and can be deployed in quantity if desired.

Toward the end of the video (beginning about 4:30) the VP of ocean mapping talks about bathymetry as a major future mission. I note that whilst the surveyor craft has an international-orange sail as the other droneships, the body is battleship grey. I suspect there may be alternatively-liveried mission sails as well.

In fact, I'd put reasonable money on that being a chief mission consideration for the technology. Drop a bunch of these in bad weather --- they'll make good coverage, and it's going to be difficult as heck to get out, spot them, and take countermeasures.

Give it a grey paint-job and maybe drop some radar-absorbing material on it, and they'll be fairly stealthy.

i just went through this with a colleague this afternoon, and i was super happy when i realized what we had finally accomplished:

he asked if there was any way to access a server, and the answer was "no". the only way to "access" our production server is to modify the provisioner script. there is no way to "update it in place". it's taken a while to get here, but it's really freeing to realize that yes, i have the credentials and could probably get in, but i know my changes would be automatically reversed in the near-term and there's no point in even attempting to access a server directly. the server belongs to the deploy script, not to me.

But it would be incorrect to presuppose that absolutely none exist, which is why they have a culture of reviewing and examining such a possibility.

The friends I've enjoyed working with and whom I've learned the most from and been the most productive with are generally a bit disagreeable (in the Big Five definition of the word).

Your personal bias towards agreeableness as a universally good trait is muddying what I think is an otherwise valid point, that people are more productive working with people they like (and sometimes, they like working with disagreeable people, as hard as that may be to believe).
Bullshit. It was honestly one of the hardest things I've ever done. I would spend a few hours a week planning meals and shopping. And then cooking for another 2 hours each day. (Yes, I realize this is pretty standard, but I'm not interested.) I don't enjoy cooking for myself (I don't mind doing it for friends and whatnot though). I did it for three years consistently to lose my last 30 lbs (and got under 10% BF @ 160 lbs.), but I hated having to think about food all the time.

Finding, shopping, choosing and cooking whole foods was the biggest pain in the ass I had when I was single. I don't mind eating healthy, but I hate the work that goes into it. And given the choice I'm going to throw butter, honey, mayo, avocado, etc onto whatever I'm eating to make it tastier.

Is my diet unhealthy? Yup and I know exactly how unhealthy it is. But I love sweet things. That's just something I've come to accept.

Did my tastebuds adjust when I ate healthier? Also, yup, but and I was fine with it at the time.
When I met my wife my eating habits slowly got worse until I didn't think about my food choices at all and just when with whatever sounded good at the moment and that was also fine.

But I've learned over the last 10 years that thinking about food constantly (in order to consistently eat healthy) multiply that by two with because my wife's food preferences are vastly different than my own and it's a burden I don't want.

All that is what lead me to alternate day fasting. This is a much easier choice than watching what I eat (I'm being a bit hyperbolic for effect, I'm adjusting my diet too, but not drastically like in the past). I eat enough every other day to sustain myself at a nice 170 lbs, so that's just what I'm going to do. I actually don't find it a burden at all to not eat for a day.

[Edit: Also, food choices were pretty random off the top of my head, but still you picked on the miracle whip, but not the mayo?]
He used monoclonal antibodies too. I am not stating Ivermectin is all that helped (I am not sure its that useful personally, I think its probably his healthy lifestyle, steroids, the non missing nutrients and minerals that helped him as well as monoclonal antibodies he used), his "conspiracy theory" treatment had a 3 day recovery, yet hes dismissed because some talking heads online were paid to hes wrong about everything despite his quick recovery.

I think I would disagree about the last part. I think whatever the CDC announces I think the opposite since they have been wrong about everything. I am glad I ignored Faucci about masks at the beginning, or how it wasn't contagious or whatever else they told the public. Public trust is at an all time low, and they will need to earn my trust again, and so far there isn't any reason to believe these so called experts who are more intent on silencing disagreement than giving useful content. I have to read papers on my own since the talking heads and publicists often make misleading/false statements based on snipped quotes so I won't listen to any statements they make and just read papers on my own, authority exists, but its not some political talking head, its the scientists who publish their findings and have their papers turned into propaganda by people who unfortunately use them for political reasons.

I'm skeptical about the idea that Substack has poor support.

It doesn't show that. It's literally numerical in that dark skin reflects less light than light skin , so the sensors report lower values for the entire face, reducing contrast for the entire face, which is what the recognition systems count on.

Brown eyebrows on brown skin = low contrast.

Brown eyebrows on pale skin = high contrast.

If our races were dark purple hair on bright green skin and bright green hair on dark purple skin, facial recognition systems would have no trouble with either. But that's not how humans render, so our contrast based systems struggle with low contrast.

When we used to have a functional banking system, you could work your ass off, make your money, and simply put it in a savings account, or Certificate of Deposits (CDs), and make 4-8 percent interest while inflation was 2-3%. That money was reinvested locally as loans to local businesses.

The advent of free money to cover the insolvent institutions caught making stupid decisions, but managing to be "too big to fail", stole a lot of money from local economies, and my parents.

> Modern Mexico was founded by Conquistadors who came to Mexico to seize gold and return to Spain.

No, it wasn't. What the Conquistadors (or, rather, Spanish colonial administrators after the Conquest) founded wasn't “modern Mexico”, and the Viceroyalty of New Spain was very much a settler/colonialist state—including the domains of conquistadors like Cortés, who became Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca; in fact an early and important part of the early formation of New Spain was the Viceroys refusal to implement crown-issued laws limiting the extent and permanence of the fiefdoms that had been granted to the conquistadors.

> The U.S. was founded by colonists who came to build a new world.

The British North American colonies (not US, which was founded much later, by people with somewhat different interest who were already the local landed elites) were founded by colonists who wanted to populate an empty wilderness (which it wasn't), and displaced the local population to do it.

The Spanish North American colonies were established by conquistadors (literally, conquerors) who, rather than displacing the local population—or looting and leaving, as you suggest—came to conquer and rule, and did exactly that.

> One could argue that this accounts for the tendency toward short-term goals in Mexico vs the tendency toward long-term goals in the U.S.

One could, if one ignored the fact that the foundational narrative you spun is false. To the extent such a difference exists, its probably because of Mexico’s less developed and less stable status, which rewards long term planning less than a more stable, more developed environment.

I like the concept of 'paper bandwith'. That rings so true with my experience. I've lived through a number of transitions from paper to Cerner.

At one hospital, they were going live across the entire 600 bed facility in a 2 week period. It was also the start of the new interns - I was there as a surgical registrar.

We went from having our 4 person team (Senior Registrar, myself, 2 Juniors) pushing the cart with the files around, taking 4 minutes per patient, Juniors carefully watching and observing the examination, writing useful shorthand, to a situation where both Juniors were pushing dual-screen COWs frantically trying to keep up with reported findings and plans.

Later in that transition period I was on nights and called to review a patient with SOB. They had been in for 10 days - typical chest that could be APO/could be Pneumonia. The last time the chest findings were documented in Powerchart was 10 days ago on ED admission!! Of course, poor documentation is part of the problem but every day that patient had had their chest examined, there just wasn't a useful way to document it in a shorthand way and the juniors were totally overwhelmed, requiring 2 of them to do the job of half of one of them previously

The Elon Musk interview question
I've interviewed. The interviews are generally what I call "clown nose" events. "WE all wear clown noses. If YOU want to work here you need to look sharp in a clown nose!"

In more concrete terms, the "clown nose" interviews these days have moved on from the "trick question" (aka "why are manholes round?") to questions on data structures. Why? Well, for the obvious reason that the initial interviews are with people who recently graduated and Data Structures was likely their last course at school.

Elon says HIS question is "What are 3 problems you've solved and how did you solve them?".

He points out that people who ACTUALLY solved the problem can describe the problem exactly and describe how they solved it in great depth. People who "sort of helped" are much less clear about that.

The brilliance of this question is that it selects for the quality he needs. He wants people who not only know how to solve problems but also know how to implement the solutions. He rewards problem solvers that implement.

I don't think all driver assist tech is dangerous. Tesla FSD is dangerous because the name suggests no supervision is needed, and it's good enough that drivers fall asleep at the wheel. My driver assist experience is with a 2020 Honda Insight. The LASK/ACC features make the car a collaborator in the driving process. I can't fall asleep, it requires too much supervision/collaboration. But instead of running the exhausting speed/lane position/follow distance loop as fast as I can, I can do it at some variable fraction of that speed depending on road conditions. I have to monitor for the things I know or suspect cause issues for the automated system. For example, it generally wants to follow exits, so I have to put resistance on the wheel when passing exits to keep it on the highway. On the other hand, it is excellent (better than me) at making fine adjustments to stay between well marked lines on long straight stretches... that's where I feel comfortable stealing a glance out the side window or resting my foot on the floor instead of hovering over the pedals. It doesn't avoid debris sitting in the middle of the road, so I have to watch for that and wrestle LKAS to avoid if I see that coming.
Facebook is a cloner. They were first a Myspace clone. Then they invented the feed, "like" and "share" when Twitter came around with their feed, heart and retweet and "disappearing" stories when Snapchat started and then "reels" when tiktok picked up.

> The solution is simple. Raise rates and let asset prices normalize, regardless of the consequences.

This is the exact policy adopted by the Fed in 1929: purge the bad out of the system. Let the failing banks go bankrupt. That turned what was a recession into a full-blown deflationary credit crunch.

All the high-and-mighty theory and bloviating may not mean much in the face of 25% unemployment, wages falling 50%, and 15%+ contraction of global GDP.

But it wouldn't be unusual for me to have three cans of soda a day if I'm not paying attention. Two during the work day and one with dinner, so that's still 500 Calories.

I picked up a home reverse osmosis filter and my water consumption has gone back through the roof and soda consumption down to 1 every few days just because I like the flavor.

Very often it is the desktop environment that kills resources on your machine. So if you have a slow computer make sure to pick a desktop environment that is lightweight (Gnome likely won't give you good results). XFCE would be great. I used stock Ubuntu + Xfce for years on an slow chromebook level computer for Youtube videos, social media, Netflix and so on without issues. The machine had 4Gigs of ram and a crappy dual core cpu. Go with Ubuntu + XFCE.
The Quest gave me persistent "seasickness" after use the first half dozen times I used it (this was last winter, I had nothing better to do than see if I could get better at tolerating it). I eventually got more tolerant of it, but after not using it for a while I'm hesitant to pick it up again in case I am back to square one. During use I could handle stationary scenes okay, but the after-effect was nasty. An incredible piece of technology, though.

The VR-sickness persisted for hours until I realized that the solution was to try and reset my system by walking outside and gazing at the horizon (which also works on seasickness to a point).
