Western governments have not yet fully acknowledged the fact that the strategy of seducing totalitarian regimes like Russia and China with peaceful economic progress has failed. The awakening on this is extremely slow.

Our 1337 have been, on the whole, too arrogant to acknowledge that the status quo of how they operate to preserve democracy has failed in that it is not enough and Democracy is currently receding and morale is at an all-time low.

If the civilization we were born to love and defend is to survive, then it must adapt to the current threats and quickly. Our adversaries are back and more powerful than they ever were. It is time we end the drunken holiday of the 1990s and bring back the creativity of McCarthyism and such.
It amazing what a 20 minute walk can do. I feel energized and relaxed the rest of the day. It's an amazing return on what's actually a very small time investment.

I know 98% of people aren't willing to try this-- but add in a cold shower afterwards and I become impervious to stress. And I'm usually a high anxiety person(have been my whole life). It's really a drastic, and honestly impressive, difference that it makes. This would almost definitely solve OP's problem, as it would for many people, the only problem is it's unpleasant enough that most are afraid to even try
What would you say about a programmer who's trying to practice for these sort of challenges? Does it still depend on that point?
> people were happy with the way it was (again, for this use case - I see the value in the dot for other use cases obviously).

Sure, but this is a classic case of shifting the externalities of your industry onto the rest of the rest of the public. People who operate coal power plants were happy with generating tons and tons of smoke (but they do see the value of less smoke for the communities around the power plant).

You're asking everyone else to accept being a little less secure so that it can be easier for you to make money.

> if that's the case then the $100 dongle does not fix every situation here since a lot of things that get presented may not support it.

The most annoying part of this entire thread is how the goal posts keep shifting. The use-case that the $100 doesn't fix is one that has all of these constraints:

1. Must use audio input on the same computer that is generating the visuals (so you get an orange dot)

2. Is generating the visuals from software (that can't be modified) that can only draw to plain old monitors

3. Is doing all the above in a professional environment with XX,000 people in attendance, where not looking professional (having an orange dot) is a show-stopper.

4. The venue and/or AV professionals have no facilities to crop / letterbox / pillarbox real-time video streams

If a customer hands you a mac with a PowerPoint deck, you break condition #1. If the use-case is an artist who wrote a custom sound->viz app, you break #2. If this is a church group or a VJ in an underground club, you break condition #3. I'm having trouble imagining situation where #3 and #4 are not mutually exclusive.

If a customer hands you a laptop at the event with custom audio->viz software that doesn't work with the dongle and this is a professional event with XX,000 attendees and you don't have a way to letterbox, I believe correct answer is "We're the AV team not tech support. Your equipment is creating the orange dot. We're just projecting what you provide".

In other words, I'll stipulate that the $100 doesn't cover literally all use-cases, but the cases it doesn't cover are the nichyest of niche cases and ones where the customer has unrealistic expectations.

If you're expecting Apple to turn off a feature that is useful (and wanted) by millions of users just to help a number of users who can be counted on one hand... well, those handful of users better be buying a lot of Mac Pros.
Tech scene in Boston is really huge. It’s a bit less “Facebook for cats” than Silicon Valley and tends to be more stuff that needs the big brains from MIT and the like. Moderna is a great example.
F# is a great language, and definitely an ML. But it falls a bit short of being an OCaml. :) The type-system features are quite different -- e.g. F# has no functors and no GADTs, at least not the last time I checked. I think that F# has a different feel and perhaps a different target audience.

You’re right, that’s possible.

But from that video this looks like the kind of thing an attentive driver could easily miss until it was too late. Maybe they’d start breaking but would they have stopped anywhere near in time? I doubt it.

It isn't just Tesla that is leading to confusion here. For example, both you and the comment you are responding to treat Autopilot and Full Self Driving as interchangeable when they are distinct features.

Autopilot has been on cars for years, has driven multiple billion miles, and now comes free with every Tesla. In reality it is just lane and traffic aware cruise control which numerous cars come with today.

Full Self Driving doesn't have near the track record, is still in beta (and maybe should still be in alpha), and has that 5 figure price tag you mentioned.

When you blur the lines between the two, it also results in people thinking Autopilot is more capable than it is or that Full Self Driving is safer than it is.
It's sitting around. Solid. Inert. Meanwhile there are gigatons of CO2 released to the atmosphere every year that causes an extremely acute global problem and we have no idea what to do to that either.
> The vaccine is one barrier keeping the virus at bay. Oka says that it's a social norm in Japan to keep another kind of barrier over people's mouths and noses.

This is probably not sufficient, as the article points out South Korea has much the same culture. But it seems definitely necessary.
Getting hyped about the new thing and then quickly forgetting about it is a common trait among people I know with ADHD. Not saying that's the cause just that there's a correlation, you do with that as you please.

I almost always stick to my projects because they're almost always motivated by a need rather than a fad. The need is resolved when project concludes.

I use proven and stable tools that I'm proficient in like C++/Java (depending on project needs) that allow me to focus on "getting it done" rather than learning the shiny new thing that'll be superseded soon.

My projects also tend to be deliberately smaller in scope, and I actively reject project ideas that are too big because that's when they tend to fizzle out.

Since the Zig tool chain can also compile C, and Zig can use C headers without translation, the cases are more similar than one might otherwise suspect.

But of course it would be less of an upgrade, and the Zig parts would have to stay clearly segregated.

True. Maybe they just need housing.
There are clearly some things we, and the author, wants to persist, and yet the internet fails to do so.

Trying to muddle in privacy concerns with the accumulation of public knowledge undermines the whole concept of a shared society, or there being even the potential of accumulating "progress" in the first place.

Also, historically speaking, people with means used to save their letters for posterity, which proved to be a very valuable resource for future academics, so the idea of, what, deleting all your proton mails and signal messages as encouraged is arguably overshooting the return to some pre-internet norm.
man, until you said that, it wasn't something i had noticed, and I was staring straight at it with full attention. I can't imagine someone driving for hours picking that up. After all it could an obstruction in the median.
As someone who is a decent-ish programmer that's recently worked on recognition from videos, I would be totally lost trying to figure out how to handle a situation like this. As a human person (I swear!), I could see in the video that the headlights were being obstructed by something but, as a human programmer, I'm completely at a loss for how I would even determine if the headlights are blocked by something up close vs. far away using just the camera's view. Headlights get blocked by things all the time. How in the hell would you figure out that that's what's going on just by the visual?

In other words, it's a good thing I don't make this stuff. My car would be phantom braking every 10 seconds, especially at night.

Arcsech says >" I’ve witnessed, with my own eyes, a woman talk to a doctor about chronic nasal congestion, and his response was to tell her to lose weight. Doctors habitually not believing the experiences of their patients has done incredible harm over the years."<

I've seen a similar situation but felt the doctor was stating what was important. He did accept her experiences but... Her congestion was not remotely as important as her weight, her weight was going to speed her death, and she'd best lose weight soon.

IOW he was saying "regardless of how you solve your congestion, you simply must lose weight now or you will die soon from a heart attack or stroke."
The comparison to banks as shock absorbers is pretty rich. It has been only 12 years since banks caused global recession due to secrecy and greed. At least the decentralized options are more open, despite any flaws, which would be shared by centralized finance anyways.

A mix of centralized and decentralized seems the safest.
Love this. It speaks to the fact that software solving complex and changing problems is never finished!

Adaptability, maintainability, reasonability etc are virtues that are difficult to overstate.
> What this proves is that we need emergency lighting systems in the event of a crash.

This is the first time I've been introduced to this idea, and it now feels immediately obvious that we should've been doing this for a long time.
I too was interested in HammerFS. Thanks for the perspective, I'll ask around here at some point about DragonFly users, they must be out there :).
> ILL is a dumpster fire of a state

True, but New York City has a per-capita municipal debt load double Chicago's, Connecticut and New Jersey are really the only two states in more dire financial straits than Illinois and for the pleasure of living back east I get to pay what seems like an order of magnitude more in taxes and housing costs.

And obviously California is California. Loved, loved, loved it when I went to college in Los Angeles but have no real desire to ever work there. Maybe once I make my 50th million I'll be on the next flight out.

There's a yiddish version of that, but I don't remember exactly. Alte smatesh, noy-something.

I have to disagree though. Not that I think you're incorrect. It's neither correct not incorrect. It's a reduction, or essentialization perhaps. Even if it is a correct reduction, it isn't a helpful one. Labour for hire sure isn't new, neither is exploitation. However the "gig economy" is a new (or newly common) mode of labour, like hourly vs salaried vs piecemeal... modes that existed in the past.

There are two approaches:

(1) We can argue about what the rules are, ignoring all evidence that the rules are in fact unclear. This has given the gig economy a good decade to operate without labour laws.

(2) We can recognize that laws are a decision. We can make these decisions. make new laws that take into account the technology, norms and industries of our time.
Even if it was only used for AEB instead of AutoPilot (i.e. acting as an actual backup to autopilot) that would be a vast improvement.

A Tesla vehicle, when under human control, has AEB but when under AutoPilot it essentially does not since it is the same logic used for both processes and therefore it doesn't act as an additional safety feature.
Do you think most people who post publicly on the internet would agree if asked? I think most people would like to have a choice to make old stuff disappear. If most people think so, THAT should be the rule. You might not like that and argue that there is no way to enforce it, but that does not mean it is a good rule to assume consent.
A full-text search for the Wayback Machine would be my top feature request. It's not uncommon to lose the URL of a site and for active webpages to not have the URL of the old website. Plus I'm sure there are many interesting archived webpages I could find with a full-text search.

I understand they've tried this or things like it a few times but they haven't ever kept the feature.
I think they cost money because people put time and effort into making them, and being an alive human costs money. That + macOS users tend to be happy to spend a small amount of money to make their life easier

>A house in texas comparably priced to mine is almost 3x my property tax

A house in Texas comparably priced to yours is probably 14 acres in central Dallas.
Decentralized in this case means you don't trust a single entity to control your access to your data.
you should view the uncompressed video. very easy to see
I also feel like the way Tesla drives is really aggressive, I basically can't use is adaptive cruise control in slow/stop-and-go traffic because it ZOOMs right up the the car in front and then slams on the brakes, rather than just going along at a reasonable pace. Similarly, in this scenario with this visibility I might choose not to drive 10mph over the speed limit.
This is very true and I guess we should be weary of making assumptions about other civilizations' means and motives...
For example, the zipd for The White House (1600 Pennsylvania Ave) is "84074482_zpid" according to this listing: https://www.zillow.com/homes/1600-Pennsylvania-Avenue-NW,-Wa...

Interestingly, Zillow's value estimate ("Zestimate") is $447 million.
> 50 miners (maybe less) control enough of the network to seize control when they desire.

This is FUD.

The counterparty to miners are the nodes, and they are the ones in control of the network. There are about 47000 nodes and anyone can run one (this is why the block size is small) on like $200 worth of hardware.

How the hell have they managed the supply chain such that they can sell a limited item like a specific MRE dessert for roughly the same price as a gas station muffin or sweet?
Not crashing into Firetrucks is an emergency-brake assist problem. This isn't a "beta" part of Tesla's suite.

I'd rather not use the crap marketing terms of Tesla. They're clearly misleading and just propaganda. You and I know that its emergency braking.

It doesn't matter if its on an intelligent-cruise control / lane assist mode, or if its in the hands of a driver. Emergency braking is supposed to kick in and work in these cases
For the record, I apologize for turning this chat from "law enforcement" to "winning versus the east" ... I acknowledge this is all off topic.
Agreed, but I don't think the commenter you're replying to is claiming to have lied to border control agents. They're just pointing out that no one was actually checking their documents for validity, and the one automated check that happened wasn't even accurate.
You're misunderstanding what people are saying. You've watched a highly compressed video from a camera sensor that is known to have relatively poor dynamic range (ie: it doesn't see well in the dark when lights are around).
The point OP was making (that you completely dismissed) was that our eyes are actually quite good at sensing this scenario. Here's a better version: https://twitter.com/haenschengross/status/147332613675511808...

When you watch the uncompressed version, there are tons of visual cues to a human that there is an object in the way. This is no where near as subtle as the janky video makes it out. You can say you might have missed this at night but either you don't pay enough attention when you're driving, or you're giving tesla a pass here they don't deserve.
Sounds like a market opportunity for middlemen in other jurisdictions.
Well we make a lot of long lived chemicals that are toxic to complex life, then spray/spill/dump/burn them all over. I'd say humanity is sort of undertaking the project of making the first few feet of earth's crust into a superfund site. Convenient because it suggests a subsequent massive heroic project to somehow clean it all up later this century which is the kind of tragic futile project we fall in love with as a species.
Huxley was definitely a modernist, his views on psychedelics track with that. Across every aspect of technology, medicine, society, etc. we have had to temper our optimism in the last 70 years.

That said if psychedelic drug use was as pervasive as alcohol it would definitely have an effect on the values of our society. I don't know if war and inequality would end overnight, but it would start to dig at the basic human desires that keep us all working and consuming and trying to get more.

Imagine someone building this for SaaS hosting--a perma-Heroku, or something like it. That's actually a huge value-add. Suddenly tinyStartupA doesn't need to convince largeCorpB that it's going to be around for forever. The service can exist in perpetuity without the company.

Complex repercussions obviously around acquisition, IP, and other business dimensions however. Maybe unworkable even. But I think there's a world where this actually exists and lowers the barrier to building business-critical software and selling to companies that need a 50-year commitment to risk you.
Right, of course aliens are extremely unlikely. The reason it is even talked about is because there are few convincing explanations how the Egyptians could theoretically have built the pyramids at that time.

> The great thing about location-based addressing is that an archive of the set of known locations is not subject to the same ownership rules as the canonical live version of those addresses.

Erm, to me this sounds like putting up with link rot as hack around bad IP law? There are already IP exceptions for preservation. And if content-addressing was the norm, geocities-type sites might bow to market pressure to not "own" the content, but merely have some some sort of license for being the exclusive pinning service and running the ads or whatever. This is like avoiding the problem where your the rent on your current apartment doesn't fall as much as the market writ large because your landlord knows moving is not free.

Humanity is trending toward the extraction of as much work as possible from any available differences of temperature. In our wake, we will leave unavailable energy and chaos, every mountain leveled and every hole filled in.

This goal has driven all of life. We were born with the impulse, it drives evolution itself. It's why we reproduce. It's why we invade new lands. It's why we dream of Dyson Spheres. It's why we dig up fossil sunshine and will continue that project until it kills us.

But some other life will get the same idea and carry on after we fail.
