I worked for a mental health software startup until 2017, and even then it was worrying how many market entrants didn't seem to bother with clinical guidelines to mental health. The modern crop of tools are jamming together elements of Uber/Doordash and online dating apps....wellness on demand! Swipe right on your preferred therapist!

Most users that haven't gone to therapy or read how CBT works won't know that much of actual therapy is boring homework. You're not paying to vent to a sympathetic ear. You are discussing your issues and then doing homework where you identify negative thinking patterns, and the daily triggers that launch those thoughts. That is not something that should be done through the equivalent of a Drift chatbot, but rather through scheduled, regular conversations.

The CEO of my former company was a practicing psychiatrist who resisted the "gamified" nature of modern wellness apps, and set up the software to use DSM-5 criteria for assessing issues. Based on the info provided, it generated a PDF with symptoms related to recognized disorderds, which were to be discussed with a general practitioner at their next appointment. It wasn't supposed to replace the role of actual therapy, but rather to provide decision support to both patients and care providers.
The Wikipedia article is out of date. Currently China ranks second in terms of energy generated:

https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/current-and-fu...

By leadership I mean that they're one of the few countries which in the last 20 years managed to consistently deliver new nuclear capacity on time and (roughly) within budget.

The US generally ranks first, but delivered what, one power plant in the XXIth century so far?
There are cases where a human driver is better, but there are significantly more cases where Autopilot is better. For example when you drive for 4 hours straight or driving through stop and go traffic. Think about about the lives being saved and be sure any conclusion we reach is based on rigorous analytics and not just gut feeling after having watched a horrific video, which also happens numerous times on daily basis to all types of cars.
Good for you, I'm not saying my experience is a universal truth. But this is my experience. I love all things typography, and thought it was genuinely a good idea. Turned out it wasn't for me.

But I'm glad it clicked for you.
Please let's just all be friends. :) It's fair game to discuss and differentiate the two languages on features, but "better for engineers" is going to take us right into the valley of flame-wars, by way of No-True-Scotsman town. :)

Haskell and OCaml are both brilliant languages, with excellent feature sets and amazing dev teams... and lots of "engineers" who like them.

Apologies if I read this wrong, but it appears they actually found another way to exploit the _existing_ vuln, not a new one.

Just checking my understanding.
This is a dark truck with no lights in a high-speed road at night, I would probably have crashed too. Yes, human eyes have better night vision, but people have different visual acuity, attention span, and reflexes. Also, headlights from other cars can blind you momentarily.

Still, I don't understand why Tesla is so opposed to LIDAR. The more information the autopilot has, the better decisions it can make.
VLC can be installed on most smart tvs and has excellent DLNA support. I still use plex but have DLNA as a backup when the internet goes out (better local network connectivity)
What does full self driving have to do with it? The car is running on Autopilot (called Autosteer in the UI of my Model S).

> his is the exact sort of collision that Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is supposed to mitigate, and there are dozens of cars of different makes that have it installed

Is it supposed to? And do they actually mitigate it?
It is -- and Brewster Kahle and the Archive have been thinking about this for a long while (see this talk from him five years ago: https://archive.org/details/LockingTheWebOpen_2016 ). The model you can think for this would be to have as the Archive as the "node of last resort" of content-addressable storage, making sure there's always one node up with the content you want.

The incentive challenges are making sure that the average number of nodes is more than one, because, as Brewster likes to say, "libraries burn; it's what they do", plus all the traditional challenges of maintaining a commons at high levels of resilience. Once you have data on a network like IPFS, we can use a number of incentive models to make sure it stays there, including charitable projects like the Archive, government support (archives are traditionally state projects -- if every country's archive was pinning this content, it would be far more resilient), and decentralized incentive frameworks like Filecoin.

(Disclosure: I work for the Filecoin Foundation; in our decentralized preservation work, we've funded the Internet Archive's work in this area, though I should emphasise that IA works with a lot of different decentralizing technologies through their https://getdweb.net/ community.)
Chicago had the first LGBT-friendly community in the United States. They were out and proud long before Stonewall. Illinois was the first state in the country to repeal its (unenforced) sodomy laws.

California, on the other hand, elected Ronald Reagan as governor in order to "send the welfare bums back to work" and then re-elected him because they loved that he banned black people from carrying guns.
No pejorative implied, apologies if it came out that way. I expect all software to constantly evolve and adapt to the needs of its user base. Given that I am not a cryptocurrency user I have not kept current with how things work.
UltraEdit is very much what you describe. But the column mode is much better IMHO.
The truck driver also did not brake until just past the wreck and truck drivers a significantly more experienced than the average human driver.

It's hard to see in the video even when primed for it, much less likely a human would see it when not expecting it.
I do not think it matters if a house is an investment property (i.e. not the house you are living in) versus a house you need (i.e. to live in). My point is the cost of living calculation also involves the opportunity cost of the difference in land price appreciation.

Of course, this opportunity cost only exists if you have the opportunity to choose between two or more locations.
Typo. Too late to edit now.

Studies of temperate rain forests suggest strongly that water storage of mosses in particular allows the tree to absorb moisture directly through the bark, or in some cases form adventitious root hairs into the moss. One of the main limits to tree height is how high they can pump water through a combination of pressure and capillary action. Sequoioideae in particular have adaptations that let them push water a little higher than other trees. IIRC some of those are common to Cupressaceae (thuja plicata being the apex tree in the PNW).

We have conservationists here that have lamented the industry that has formed around harvesting moss from temperate rainforest trees. Some of these are sneaking into public lands and mass harvesting. The growth rate of these mosses barely keeps up with the rate of growth of the trees. A fully denuded tree may be dead before it's covered in mosses again.

A bit too busy to navigate that (just got an iPhone for the first time in my life, not good at navigating safari history in bulk yet)

Yep, their bet on not using Lidar seems bizarre to me. Presumably it’s been done for cost purposes, but lidar will likely be cheap by the time AI driving is viable.
The point of IPFS is not keep the data archived, but to allows users to no care who does the archiving.

Concretely, this would be to skip the "many people on encountering a dead URL don't bother to try the internet archive" problem.
> cutting the blob bytewise

That doesn't make sense. If you're working with utf16, why would you slice bytewise? That's like slicing a zip file bytewise and wondering why it got corrupted.

The whole point of the argument for string support at a library level (rather than assuming some sort of equivalence between stringness and its underlying byte buffer at the language level) is that fixed width bytes fundamentally cannot model human language characters unambiguously because what a "character" is depends on the encoding/decoding contract of the program manipulating the byte buffer.

Assuming equivalence between 0x2C and `,` stems from the ancient history of ASCII, english and usage of C `char` as a mechanism to squeeze performance out of string operations by not properly supporting the full gamut of valid human language characters.

For a low level language that might be used to implement protocols, it totally makes sense that foo.len is length in bytes, because you're pretty much never going to want to know number of grapheme clusters at a protocol level. It doesn't make sense for a language level .len to be length in terms of codepoint count because that assumes encoding, which is fundamentally a business logic level concern.
The world would be a much better place if we put a lot more outbound network rules in.

This seems to be talking about bugs that could be exploited. If there was evidence for a backdoor then it would be global news.

You might believe there's a backdoor but unless you can prove it what do you want people to do?
Your mileage can definitely vary with Powerline Ethernet adapters. When they work they're amazing, when they stop working it can be rather annoying. Most don't have any real feedback other than a small handful of LEDs on the device. I've had several different models from different vendors over the years using a few of the various revisions of standard and different electrical system setups. They would usually work pretty well for weeks, then suddenly lose their sync for unknown reasons requiring a hard reset. Often this happens right when you're in the middle of watching a movie or playing a game, requiring you to stop what you're doing, unplug both devices, wait a few seconds, plug both back in, and it magically starts working fine again. I've had that experience on all of the units I've used. It has been about 5 years since the last time I used one, I'm sure they've constantly had improvements.

That said though when they work I got pretty much the rated speeds all the time without any intermediate dropouts or other issues. Stupid simple to use, just plug both sides in and suddenly network. This was sometimes even without both units being on the same circuit, but at least one of the legs had a decently short run to the electrical panel.
I find it very hard to believe.

If you were trying to make the CNO cycle

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

work with an interstellar ramjet you would have to stop interstellar H (drag!), retain it in a reactor for a timescale of tens of minutes because of the beta decay that is part of the cycle and continue to retain almost all of the heavy (compared to Helium) elements and vent only Helium and maybe some hydrogen (like the space shuttle main engine this is great for Isp.)

Unless you have a triple-alpha line

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-alpha_process

that can synthesize carbon from helium you would be stuck with whatever inventory of C,N,O you started with and you'd slowly lose it.

It seems much more transformative to interstellar travel that you can brake yourself with a magsail at the destination. The drag is very real but any thrust from the Bussard ramjet seems elusive.
I think the issue with watching it like this is that you’re not currently driving so not attuned to what you’re looking for. I guess the issue with autopilot is that the driver likewise isn’t attunded to driving as they are on autopilot.

With that in mind, in this exact scenario, I would have hit it also. Only with full manual control of the car do I think I could have avoided it.
> it is very clear

I would really be interested in your source on this.
I think it's interesting to think about what we have lost because we couldn't keep everything from a 100 years ago and what society 100 years from now will be grateful we preserved.

Off the top of my head, we lost a lot of common wisdom in dealing with the flu pandemic of 1918 because personal letters and most newspapers were not preserved. I think 100 years from now they might wish we had preserved more from marginal and/or world communities. What folk wisdom is being lost? Perhaps we need to expand our definition of what is worth saving.
Indeed. This is purely a guess but my hunch a is that something like Breakthrough Starshot may already provide a glimpse of what will turn out to be the most viable and practical mid and long term solution, even for us...
The middle managers need to manage their serfdoms and prove their value. It seems like the less value someone actually adds, the more territorial they are-- typically blaming arbitrary "established processes" or something of the same nature. For non-tech companies it seems like burecracy starts to become an issue at like $500mm/yr. Any academia or government org will be the same. You can't really fight the system and win, so it is easiest to just find another job.

"Counterintuitively, the famously thirsty industry can even improve the local water supply due to a focus on reclamation and purification—Intel has funded 15 water restoration projects in the Grand Canyon State with a goal of restoring 937 million gallons per year, and it expects to reach net positive water use once the projects are completed."

"What Arizona lacks in water, it makes up for with overall stability—the state is very seismically stable and does not suffer from hurricanes, with low risks of other natural disasters such as tornadoes to boot. Building chip fabs without such guarantees is possible—for example, Intel has a large presence in Oregon—but chip fabricators on the West Coast must take extreme isolation measures, which Arizona plants don't require."
> Autopilot has been on cars for years

Autopilot has not been on cars for years, Adaptive cruise control has been.

Moreover, while I’ll accept that my comment above confuses between them, I’ll argue its naming it as “ Autipilot” is what is at fault here since people overestimate its capabilities.
Pretending Problems Don't Exist Won't Make Them Disappear
NumPy releases GIL. I love NumPy myself and created complex interactive realtime synths. It always was more convenient to slap Cython or C code to achieve desired 100x performance instead of getting potentially 10x (4x on my laptop) with multithreading.
I think this is one of the big points about humans vs. computers for complicated problem solving like this: context. The autopilot's job is to drive the car safely when it can. It's job isn't to pick up the tiny minutia of offputting sensory input like obstructed headlights - it isn't programmed to _reason_ about things like that, something that would raise the hairs on a human and cause them to double check what's in front of them.
The Volvo system is based on radar + camera and it's pretty obvious that that is the rear of a vehicle in front of the truck. It might not necessarily pick up every kind of stationary object.
> Many people would have hit the pickup.

1. Many people don't view the world through a shitty 480p camera with compression artifacts.

2. Almost nobody would have hit the pickup still going at 75 MPH. Even dropping 10 MPH at that speed reduces the energy of the crash by 25%.

3. As another poster pointed out, nobody else on the road has managed to hit that truck. So, either all the other drivers are incredibly lucky, or it is, in fact, more than possible to both see and avoid that truck.
Agreed, the silhouette fo the truck is clearly visible 2 seconds before impact which is actually quite a lot of time to react.

I'm reminder of this multi-vehicle accident where you can see some drivers clearly reacting 1-2 seconds before impact.

I'd argue that both compute and memory as well as disk speed is necessary to maximize productivity. I do agree that ergonomics is also crucial and I'd add glasses that block blue light to your list.
This is incredibly terrifying. I hope the person driving and behind the truck holding the flash light is okay.
I flew to Cyprus in October from within the EU. Had an EU vaccine certificate which was supposed to mean that no test was required for me. Also had some Cyprus health form I filled out with a QR code. But they made our whole flight stand in a crowded line, inside a building, and instead of scanning the QR codes from our documents, they manually wrote down our names and phone number on a piece of paper, and then made each of us take a COVID test on the spot, and then sent us through immigration before our results came in. Our vaccine certificates and other documents were never checked. Apparently, their plan was to call us a few days later if a test came back positive.
> I found myself spending time wondering "what characters is this made of?"

Funny sidenote: I've got my Emacs configured to show any non-ASCII char in source code in bold pink on a pure black background (including zero-width spacing chars). That way the non-ASCII chars do really standout and I rarely wonder "which char is this?".

I don't forbid them: they do just really stand out.

Most of the time the only Unicode chars in source file are anyways the copyright symbol and some chars in author's name (in comment). Sometimes in strings.
Really if its that dark out and you can't see that far, on autopilot or otherwise, you shouldn't be going that fast. It's the same thing with people speeding in dense fog.
McCarthyism was after people with an opinion, I don't believe that's a good thing and that it's going to happen again in western countries.

The current threat here is a rise of criminality, having more evidence would secure more people, this bill was actually a try to "adapt to the current threats".
> So what’s the problem with programming ligatures?

> (1) They contradict Unicode. [Goes on to mention U+FB01 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FI and how a ligature for U+003D EQUALS SIGN, U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN is indistinguishable from U+21D2 RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW]

No. Nonono. Hell no, one might say. (I’m frankly disturbed to hear this said by a typography expert, because this means something is deeply wrong, perhaps with my understanding here.)

It was never a goal of Unicode to have a code point for every ligature a typographer might ever want. For example, there is a code point for FI and for LONG S T, but not for FJ or FT. Like other “presentation forms” (a thing that Unicode is explicitly not supposed to contain), these exist only for roundtrip compatibility with old encodings (some ancient Adobe-Latin variant maybe?) and are deprecated for any other use (although I’ll be damned if I can find a clear statement to that effect on the Unicode website, there are notes in other places[1]).

The second part holds water to some extent, but given the amount of visual ambiguity afforded by allowing a text to contain arbitrary Unicode (which we must if U+21D2 is at all a consideration), no programming font can solve it, and no programming font tries.

If by workstation you mean desktop, then system builders that aren't gaming PC companies exist. Consulting and building for business workloads is Puget System's whole business. If you're in the United States or Canada, you should give them a call.

If by workstation you mean a laptop, then you have to work with in the compromises set by the form factor. Light, Powerful, Cool, Cheap. Pick two. The best you can do is look up benchmarks for certain parts, set a minimum performance requirement for your needs, and go from there. Maybe if you gave us an idea of the programs you normally use, the more power-hungry applications you might use every now and then, as well as your budget, you can get a recommendation.
I was driving from Bay Area to a nearby city at night. Lighting was similar. Was driving at about 70-75mph. Saw a flash in the far distance. Had no idea a crash had happened. Out of extreme caution slowed down to 60mph. In about a minute had a truck right in my lane just like this video. Swerved to another lane to avoid crash. The only reason we survived was that we had slowed down based on a random flash.

Another thing I don’t understand is why wont Tesla invest in a front only radar sensor to avoid such collisions.
