Automobile use in the rust belt is so ridiculously wasteful, it no doubt generates heaps of jobs in the process.

I used to work as a mechanic in IL back in the day. It became normal for myself and my gearhead buddies to keep winter beaters and leave the nicer cars/motorcycles parked until the roads stopped getting salted and rain could wash it all away for summer. I'd go through winter beaters like they were shoes, whole used cars!

The amount of time and money I used to spend on automotive expenses back there is batshit crazy compared to what I spend in CA.

And the yearly rebuilding of all the roads trashed by the salt+plows. I wonder if it's less of an issue now with climate change.
MSM = "Mainstream Media"?

If so, I wonder why it wasn't obvious to me.

I guess you have to read this kind of items hidden in careful language, running the instances had no problem, it is different matter they had limited connectivity!from AWS point of view they don't seem to see user impact but services from their point of view.

Perhaps that distinction has value if your workloads did not depend on network connectivity externally for example say S3 access without vpc and only compute some DS/ ML jobs perhaps.
I like Ezra Klein's take. He shows that America has always had a very strong diversity of opinion, and so do many other countries. That should be a positive, not a negative. The problem is the inability to harness that and get things done, and that's a problem of the political system.

"A lot of people" is a bit of a stretch.
My point is just that rampant pedantry implies anyone who isn't one of the "ignorant masses" agrees on the consensus classification method.

In reality, there is no consensus, as you prove here by confidently categorizing countries differently from others.

“We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!”
Yes and no. I guess the best way to describe it is that it was more of a half-step towards wavetable synthesis in the sense that it utilized ultra-short samples of the attack and sustain phases of the envelope to achieve something with greater fidelity than nominally possible with FM synthesis alone, but well short of what you could achieve with, say, a Korg Wavestation. It was an interesting product of its time.
Seems like you are a bit mistaken, as Object Pascal borrowed very little from C, nor did it need to. Object Pascal is just an extension of Pascal. Objects and Classes are just another type, just like Records. The relationship between Pascal and Object Pascal is extremely close, far more than say between C and C++. Which is why many get confused, thinking there is such a similar gap.

OO in Object Pascal is a lot more sane than in C++, because the concept of an Object was more aligned to the existing Record type. It would be something like taking C and empowering its structs with methods. There wasn't an attempt to make radical changes, but simply extend the language with OO. Where with C++, in comparison to C, much more fundamental changes were made that created more conflicts in how the languages are used.

> I'm dead serious when I say this: Operate less. Paint more. We are not at war. When we show up in a place, we should look good. If we don't, we are defeating the purpose of presence.

This is a highly misguided take. The idea that the navy is only needed when there is a first class shooting war going on is wrong and frankly stupid. There is currently a new cold war going on and the navy has a lot of work to do. It would be foolish to complain that the navy is spending too much time operating and not enough time chipping and painting because their operations are actually really important and it's their job. Instead, complain that the navy is spending too much money on electromagnetic catapults, the F-35, railguns and the Zumwalts. What the navy needs to do is fix their procurement so they can get some freaking ships with guns that work.
How would you accomplish PKI in such a way that would allow people to rotate keys to keep their account secure, but without allowing them to rotate their key into a different person's custody, thus doing a de-facto transaction that would enable someone to integrate the system with an exchange and put a price on account balances?

Also, what kind of consensus mechanism would you use, with the understanding that without a way to transfer/sell balances, Proof of Work degenerates quickly into a 51% attack, and Proof of Stake is infeasible? Or do you have a different idea in mind to decentralize such a system?

I'm asking these questions because knowing what I do about decentralized systems, in the end I can't see any way around a system like this having transferable balances. Either that or you centralize the part of it that keeps track of the network's history, making it basically akin to a big git repository.
I’m the same way. I pretty much never have dreams unless I take some supplement like melatonin or valerian and even then it’s hit or miss. While I’m awake I also can’t picture things clearly(without any meaningful details) in my mind. Maybe that’s related.
It's cool when your city is the one implementing these policies on the frontier.

What I mean by that is you wonder why it isn't so already. In the UK for example you can vote for prime minister (and heck even run for PM) if youre not a UK citizen if youre from a commonwealth country, and in local elections regardless.
That's not the only way to use a social network. There are productive ways to use it like informing people about a product that you would like to see succeed and like posting a goal to make your entire social network your accountability partner.

People that I know have used social network to great effect without the pat on your own back type bragging.
> When we have a government without corruption, we probably won't need to be armed. That isn't the case today. Checks and balances work in a young government,

I’d argue the opposite: it’s the threat of armed resistance that only works with a young government.

The idea that an armed group could overthrow the government in the US today has always struck me as fanciful. The army would shut down such an attempt very, very easily.

The HTTP of VR is HTTP!

http://fuse.rupy.se/about.html

You also need a P2P protocol (probably some binary UDP thing) for tick based data like limb positions if you want body language.

But really VR is much less important for immersion than action MMO = Mario/Zelda with 1000+ players.
This is true, but I have to wonder whether those things are as grueling as streaming is.

I did some user interviews with streamers for a project. None were this successful; the people talked to ranged from making a decent living to having a day job and then doing streaming as a full-time second job.

Even the ones like Tyler were feeling the same strain he is. But the ones who seemed worst off were the ones who were putting in the same level of effort but making peanuts or were net negative on a cash basis. I remember one guy I talked to who said that he never talked to his old friends; everybody he spent time with now was a streamer because he didn't have time for anything else.

In contrast the actors I used to know seemed to have a much healthier relationship to their art. They were working hard and trying to make it, but I don't recall the same sense of ruthless grind I got from the streamers. Ditto the writers I know these days.
This is a comprehensive multi-sensor system that should have much better capabilities than anything Tesla has.

I think it was a big mistake that Tesla has given up on sensor fusion.
They are a part of society nonetheless.

You know, sometimes people say something provocative in an effort to make others stop and think critically about something.

A futile effort, of course, but noble, indeed.

There are others, also, who use anonymity to make personal attacks and rude comments, but these are easy to filter.

>It is really the result of not thinking ahead and letting the business lobbies have what they want today

There's a tendency in the West to airbrush history, and pretend that the opening to China was just a result of business lobbies. There was an intentional policy decision based on 'liberalization through trade' theory, which managed to be one of the most disastrous theories out there (far more disastrous than 2000-era US WoT policies). This was pushed by politicians and academics, and up until the oughts businesses were more reacting to the policy as creating it.
Yes, I said that. Efficiency doesn't matter, only cost matters. They correlate, but they're not the same.
Ah yes, it's the other team's fault entirely (I can't even guess which party you're referring to).
That's because they are both correct. The ruling class uses identity politics to divide, and the ruling class isn't limited to one party.
The autobahn is a good, easy testing ground for cars. Almost on par with, say, Arizona. The real difficulty is little town streets in winter with snow.
From the paper:

> The main cause for the lower performance of GA is the Gaigen’s soft typing of the geometric algebra objects at compile-time: all types of objects (scalars, vectors, bivectors, trivectors, rotors and so on) are represented by a single data type in Gaigen. When a product or operation has to be computed, Gaigen first checks the grade usage of the argument(s) and then acts accordingly. This conditional step between function call and actual computation is largely responsible for the drop in performance.

So, I blame the library. Writing out the 3-4 datatypes for 3D GA by hand as real types costs some development effort but should give equivalent performance.
I'm not sure if you were on LinkedIn before but it was considerably worse.

My father used to cross country ski to work on the worst winter days. Sometimes he’d go on a drift right over stuck cars. Unexcused absences just weren’t a thing back then.

Pas2JS already exists in the Free Pascal world. You can make applications with it. https://wiki.freepascal.org/pas2js

Also there are other Pascal to JavaScript transpilers, which use other dialects of Object Pascal, such as DWScript and Smart Pascal.
Sorry i should have trimmed it. "Nor can we assume that tipping points would obtain in radically different applications"
People don't go about giving prepared speeches everyday in real life. Do they?
Yea, that’s kind of what I thought it would be like. Hard to tell how much of that is fighting, and how much is “tactile wiggle alert” where it’s not steering that input but is wiggling.

They can wiggle alert safely if it’s full electronic steering and not connected to a tie rod. IDK if that is the case, typically sucks for feeling the road.
"Both" is a possible answer here.
> My only gripe so far with their series was when Linus complained that right-clicking and doing “Save as” on a GitHub link saves an HTML file instead of the file itself.

However, that's a function of the browser, and not of the OS itself. If I were to do that using Firefox on Windows or Linux, it would save as a file regardless. So, my gripe would be that he apparently can't distinguish problems with the OS itself, and those of software running on the platform.
really? it took a player upset with its very slow load times to figure out how the code works and made the loading times way better.... a very simple thing if you had the source code to do and devs never bothered, online is a horrible mess everyone cheats, first person game play they added is horribly with its massive input lag, let alone trying to get online was a joke.

L2/L3 is also at a point where the only reason to have a human in the control loop at all is to pass the buck for any accidents. A 2016 study found that reaction times are absolutely pitiful unless the driver is actively driving. After passing control from the automation to the human, it takes about 15-20 seconds for your reaction time to get up to the level of a drunk driver.

The human in the front seat of a L3 car isn't the driver. They're the scapegoat.

Great, it certainly does look better :) Note that this also applies to log, exp and other functions. Also, some images seem to be missing in part 2.

Anyway it's a great writeup, even though I know the material it was a good read.
I'd be very interested for your evidence there. Both that streamers are higher IQ, and that high IQ means more responsible financial behaviors for people in power-law industries like this.

I've known plenty of smart people who were terrible with money, and plenty of average people who were very good at managing it. There's a huge gap between intellectual understanding and practical skill. And I've known some brilliant people whose brilliance made them confident the money would keep coming or that the usual dynamics didn't apply to them. Note, for example, that intelligent people are more likely to become addicts: https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/intelligent-people-drugs/
But why are windows grouped by application to begin with? When I used Macos I could never get used to the way it treated windows, and it is primarily the reason I use Windows today. But now Windows 11 is forcing grouping taskbar buttons by application (ungrouping was always an option before), and I don't know why.
In the episode, the character known as Mr. Big, played by Chris Noth, suffers a heart attack and dies after his 1,000th workout. The event shocked longtime fans of the show, and seemingly gave investors in the company a shock, too, for making a link between the company's eponymous exercise bike and the possibility of a heart attack.

The show apparently got permission from the company for the product placement, but the company didn't know the context of the appearance.

Meanwhile, my respect for Sex and the City surges by 5000 percent for pulling off this prank. "They'll never let us do this", they must have been saying to themselves.

Simply brilliant.

It's an exciting project.
Some companies will ask for feedback after the interview and there's sites like Glassdoor.

The last place I did interviews at, we'd bring all interviewers into a quick debrief meeting and talk about whether to give the candidate an offer (going off the notes we took during the sessions). It was pretty obvious if someone had a particularly bad session and could be weighted against other peoples' input

Unfortunately it can be really hit and miss

I like driving. I see more value in an idle car autonomously driven to my doorstep for me to drive, than for an autonomous car to drive me.

What's the risk profile of an empty autonomous car driving 20 mph on local roads to my doorstep, vs a fully autonomous vehicle?
> They are your average Joe, with barely any special skill.

What's your evidence for this? I don't watch a ton of streaming, but to me it looks hard to do well. If they're truly average people, how do you explain the big differences in popularity?
This is pretty off-topic but I've been trying, very unsuccessfully, to port POV-Ray to WASM as a very low-priority side project for a while now. Of course there are better, more web-native tools to build ray tracers with but I really like the POV-Ray SDL and would love to play around with it in the browser.

It might be misguided but the ffmpeg builds in WASM made me think it might be possible but I reached the end of Google/SO trying to get the Boost libs to link while running emconfigure with the existing codebase.

I'm totally winging it so if someone has any ideas that could set me on the right path it would be greatly appreciated.
> Self Driving car is no different. In fact, the Car manufacturers will have more data to ascertain the 'blame' and fewer accidents every X miles and they can insure the drivers at a much lower rate. They will happily pay from this pool

"More self driving capabilities means fewer crashes per mile which means they're cheaper to insure" hasn't really panned out with Teslas.

In 2018, Teslas had three times the fatality per mile rate of similar luxury cars: https://medium.com/@MidwesternHedgi/teslas-driver-fatality-r...

Teslas are also ludicrously more expensive to repair, and often parts availability is so bad that cars are "totaled" or the owner gets stuck in limbo - the insurance company says "well, we're happy to pay out, when you get the repair done..." and Tesla body shops and service centers have months long backups.

Result? Teslas, despite getting into fewer crashes per mile than the average, are much more expensive to insure than other cars.

The full self driving "beta" looks to be even worse, from sampling a couple of youtube videos of it "driving."

The average age of a car in the US is 12 years old, by the way, which significantly skews things away from all the cars that have ADAS features)

And have to be actually tested. Most of them are designs based on nothing but uninformed intuition. There is an art to back pressure and keeping pipelines optimally utilized. Queueing doesn’t work like you think until you really know.
Deadly combat was popular in most RPGs in the late 80s and early 90s. Even experienced characters could easily die from bad luck or poor judgment, and if wounds didn't kill them, infections might. The focus was more on role-playing (and a kind of realism), and combat was not supposed to be something you enter casually.

As far I remember, the problematic role was always the Netrunner, not the Solo. While the Solo was just your standard warrior, the Netrunner played their own subgame while everyone else was waiting.

Im not a huge fan of leetcode or work samples but on the receiving end it weeded out a huge number of bad candidates.

For federalist:

git clone https://github.com/publiusfederalist/federalist

cd federalist

npm install

npm start

For publius, there are two options, I'll start with option 1, which is an immutable (no updates) model:

git clone https://github.com/publiusfederalist/publius

cd publius

npm install webtorrent supercop.js

./key

./publius &

Then you can either share that magnet link/browse that link, or take the further step to add it as a TXT record on the Handshake blockchain for a name.

If you would like to do it mutably, there is an additional step:

./seed &

Then, you can share the link created by this and create the TXT record with this one instead.

When you update your blog, you can edit the files in the web3root folder, and then simply restart publius and seed.
I have been doing React development for 4 years now and I have never set it up from scratch and only have a rough idea how it’s done. I still apply for react jobs and do fine. Installing something from scratch is one of the least important tests because it’s something that companies typically do once every few years, they can afford to flounder for a few days on that.
Writing Linux Kernel Modules Using Free Pascal
Easy to say leave, the techinical lockin cloud service providers by design choose to have makes it impossible to leave .

AWS (and others) make egress costs insanely expensive for any startup to consider leaving with their data, also there is constant push to either not support open protocols or extend /expand them in ways making it hard to migrate a code base easily.

If the advise is to use only effectively use managed open source components then why AWS at all ? most competent mid sized teams can do that much cheaper with a colo providers like OVH/hetzner.

The point of investing in AWS is not outsource running base infra, if we should stay away from leveraging the kind of cloud native services us mere mortals cannot hope to build or maintain.

Also this avoid us-east-1 advice is bit frustrating, AWS does not have to experiment with new services always in the same region,it is not marked as experimental region or has reduced SLAs , if it is inferior/preview/beta than call it out in the UI and contract, what about when there is no choice? If cloudfront is managed in us-east-1 and we shouldnt now use it ? Why use the cloud then ?

if your engineering only discovers scale problems at us-east-1 along with customers perhaps something is wrong ? aws could limit new instances in that region and spread the load, playing with customers like this who are at your mercy just because you can is not nice.

Disney can afford to go down, or build their cloud, small companies don't have deep pockets to do either
You don't have to disclose your age in the beginning of the interview process. Age-based-discrimination is protected by the US government, the only way you could futz this up is if you're the sort of person who keeps a ridiculously robust social media presence that would instantly give away your age, in which case... your loss.
