Disrespect for calling a spade a spade? Where have we found ourselves?

No, I would never use a logging library, so there was no luring. If you want to call those that did use it lured, then you're already coming at it that the original software devs were coniving.
I'd argue against virtually all the points you make BUT you actually miss the main point of this:

this is about making autonomous decisions in the field beyond just local navigation and such. Your arguments hold for non-autonomous drones and autonomous ones to pretty much equal degree. But you don't make any point about why humans shouldn't remain in control of combat decisions.
This is incredible!

The steps this craft has taken to evolve over time would be so interesting to watch *cough* unfold.

Start with basic shapes. Then work towards branching element. Later form that into body shapes. Make the detail start forming from the rough structure. Continuously refine from there. It feels like watching a lifeform or fractal grow in realtime.

Yes, I suppose it's the case that if the bank tellers are written in Smalltalk, the Smalltalk way of doing things make sense.
Wow, why would they go out of their way to do that? Even with my most cynical hat on, I can’t think of how this is in their self interest.

Oh, is it to ensure nerfing of FP64 performance for their consumer cards? Is that done at the driver level?
There are a lot of issues beyond reclocking, as we both know. Even before the reclocking issues, nouveau was not up to par despite years of work, and it is still far behind on cards with reclocking.

The point I was making is that mere coverage is not enough for satisfactory performance. If it was the case, nouveau would have good performance on cards with reclocking support.

It doesn't, because it takes a lot of work on the backend to get good performance.
The observations in the 1930s you allude to were of the motions of galaxies in galaxy clusters. The rotation-curve measurements for individual galaxies started in the 1970s and really took off in the 1980s.

"Tidal effects" are a non-starter, and do nothing to explain galaxy rotation curves. Nor do they explain the excess motions of individual galaxies in galaxy groups and clusters, or the excess pressure of hot, X-ray emitting gas in groups and clusters -- all of which requires either some kind of dark matter, or some kind of alternate theory of gravity, or both.

Agree. I think people really underestimate how many intractable "needle in a haystack" problems are now tractable due to RNNs, CNNs and other ML/ai stuff.

We are still in the early days of applying that tech to the fields it's going to effect most.

We're in the "get a home page for your local business" phase not yet the "faang has changed the face of civilization" (for the better or worse) phase.

This is going to continue to ramp knowledge in bioinformatics and other areas, the technology is still in the infancy of being harnessed for biology and medicine.

That combined with cheaper robotic arms and cheaper sequencing machines which is just now coming dropping below certain cost thresholds.

(I know a group/lab that's automating discovery of drug/compound targets doing purely NDA'd work for merck and other pharmaceuticals, the tech is wild and still in it's infancy.)

Cutting edge voice and image style transfer, realistic computer speech, computer vision.. the list goes on, that's just the highly visible stuff and there is still only a small pool of people versed in those areas of tech.
Cars are terrible environments for electronics, the temperatures in there range from freezing to sweltering and you can be sure that the tiny gauge wire in most cheap usb cables will pay the price from the constant expansion/contraction cycle day by day.

This can cause resistance pockets in the wire itself especially when since it's probably continuously moved around every time you plug in the phone, further stressing the wires.

Lastly condensation inside the car can corrode contacts slowly causing further signal degradation.

Your best bet would be a thicker gauge wire usb cable with gold contacts.
Hey there Jecel, how are you doing? Any progress on your super interesting projects?
Even the corpse of RadioShack has been brought back from the dead with the promise of crypto riches. Scrolling through their partners is like a who’s who of old defunct 90’s brands. DressBarn?? It makes it crystal clear what their strategy is.

I have fond memories of RadioShack, it’s part of what got me into computers and electronics. But taking those memories and weaponizing them against me to try and extract what I can only assume is money, feels wrong on so many levels.

If anything (and I don’t think I’m alone in this sentiment) I will avoid this new Frankenstein creation. That said, I’m sure it will still entrap enough people to make these two guys even richer while still being a net negative for society as a whole.

NFTs have proven incredible for indie digital artists across the world, but particularly for artists from the third world where making a living off them is a bit easier. There’s a huge honest indie art movement on the Tezos NFT space.

Good places to look around in:

Hic Et Nunc (now multiple sites, fully decentralised art market)
OBJKT (sort of a better UI for Tezos NFTs, same stuff as in Hic).

This was published in response to a lament about James Damore, in case anyone is wondering about the immediate context. The proximate issue was that women and men, on average / in aggregate, are different. But the general principles apply to other issues as well.
The remarkable thing about modern online platforms that have zero accountability or customer service is that they somehow manage to have an alarmingly high false positive rate and false negative rate at the same time. It remains unclear to me if this is inevitable at their scale, or simply that they really are that bad.
That feels backwards. Little shops are flexible and can probably do what needs to be done. Lumbering behemoths have (too many) rules and restrict themselves (often) unnecessarily.
That training was probably designed more to instill paranoia and cover legal arse, because my initial reaction upon reading that was "What the fuck!? No. No. No. Not even close."

Burning fluoropolymers will produce HF. Lion electrolyte is, besides being rather flammable, nowhere near as dangerous. It's a mild solvent. A leaking cell, if it's not burning, will not expose you to HF. In fact I'd say the risk of chemical burns from a leaking alkaline battery is higher.

Except, it is almost the exact same with cars. If your car is stolen, there is very little chance the cops will actually help you recover it. If it is impounded, you too get to stand in line during business hours trying to get it back (if you can). At some point, those cars are also sold at auction.

Where are you seeing the difference?

Hmm, I don't think I've ever encountered a website that was broken without enabling javascript that was obviously analytics (I use umatrix pretty aggressively). The one that usually breaks checkout flow for me is that the credit card processors all want to use an iframe and often recaptcha and usually it takes 3-4 reloads before it actually even tries to load it all.

Regarding your questions, they make sense in the context of modern software built in the last 5 years. However, most large enterprises have a long tail of legacy applications built years ago. These may be inherited from a combination of acquisitions, from vendors that have since gone under, some from. The common factor is that the original developers are long gone, and they may be supported using a skeleton crew or not at all. Documentation if it ever existed is likely lost. What these applications are supposed to connect to are likely unknown. This is a major problem at enterprises

QKS was a prime offender complete with asking a completely sincere “wait what happened?” afterwards.
And honestly even the memories of early-ish RadioShack involved a lot of rose-tinted glasses. Even in the 70s there was a lot of crap consumer electronics mixed in with the readily-accessible cables, components, and maker stuff (such as it was).
You had me at Tai Lopez. Honestly, I’m very sad this is real and not a pitch-perfect parody site because everything about it is literally satire.

Tai Lopez shilling for some RadioShack coin. What a world.
Yes, some of the docs by Arte are great! I actually watched one with my mother a few weeks back regarding proxy wars and oil and she was blown away by connecting the dots on so much news from when she was ~20-30. (She is 70+ today and has lived in northern Europe all her life.)

Other docs on Arte feel like emotional eco-drivel “back to nature” blah blah, very German IMHO, but it can be somewhat enlightening to hear that point of view too. I am very pro nature/environment, but do not want to dismantle capitalism and remove all forms of mass-production that some Arte stuff advocates.

I don't wish to hijack this thread, but I've been pondering a similar question. I've been working on a product that requires a very large amount of data that, as far as I can tell, can only be gathered by scraping (real estate data - even data vendors like estated.com don't have stuff like sales data).

Many, many websites contain legal language that forbids automatic data collection/scraping. How can a business be built in such a case?

Perhaps OPs tool only scrapes a select few sites that don't prohibit scraping, but that seems like the exception, not the norm.

This isn’t exactly correct. A TPU can probably multiply two matrices per clock cycle, but it most likely takes a few hundred cycles for a single operation to be performed. This is similar to how a modern cpu can execute many instructions per cycle, but most instructions take multiple clock cycles to be performed.
The theft here feels off the charts right now too.

I know a lot of police have quit and they don't have budget to increase next class size. Vaccines too..

Sympathizers say that cities' new rules on when to engage are a big cause but it seems to me we can have both enforcement and no needless violence. To me it feels like police are just having a temper tantrum saying you don't want us, watch what happens when we don't do anything.

I see cop cars breaking traffic laws around cap hill and downtown and just driving around staring at the homeless camps. Flipping on lights to go the wrong way down a one way street around civic building. When there is an OD (all the time) I just see them sitting in their car doing nothing but wait for paramedics. zero humanity.

I can't remember the last time I've seen a traffic enforcement stop and speeding & illegal parking is out of control.

I'm not sure if it's uniquely bad here? I know theft is increasing everywhere.

I've had my car broken into four times this year, often they just pull on the topper until it breaks open. Usually nothing in there. Once went through back window to the front. If a package is in the entrance more than a day it will be gone.

Last year I had a probably 300 pound, 4' x 6' wooden crate stolen from my back parking lot! insane. It was a pretty expensive marble sink top.

I've installed cameras and more lights doesn't matter or make any difference.

Somewhat off topic but insurance lady on the phone spent 20 minutes on hold trying to find a way to reject the claim... Same with my recent travel insurance. Provide them the bare minimum documentation and say nothing beyond a couple sentences on the phone they will just sit quietly on the phone waiting for you to say something, often emotionally since something crappy happened. they are looking for anything to use against your claim. Sucks.

HN is still a decent news aggregator as long as you turn on "showdead" and browse through new submissions a bit. Upvoted stories and comments are more often one-sided, but there is lots of diversity in what gets submitted, and even discussed at the margins, including some crazy stuff but also some interesting stuff you definitely would not find discussed in mainstream news.
>It's a low priority because fundamentally fixing a problem will put the group out of business

Exactly. They can either go the way of urban democrats and persist by promising to solve problems you never solve (not that republicans have served rural voters any better) or they can go the way of MADD and actually make progress and then see interest wane. They chose the former.

Had my bike stolen twice out of my garage and the first thing I did was file a police report with the color and brand. Write down your serial number if you have a bike and so you can provide that as well.

I knew the police would not really look for a bike so I scoured Craigslist, OfferUp, and Facebook Marketplace. Eventually I found the bike both times. I messaged the person to meet up, called the police, and provided my report number and the listing. The police met up the people and got my bike back twice.

What happened to the thieves that stole my bike twice and broke my expensive locks? Absolutely nothing. When I asked the cop why they weren't cited or charged, he said they were fences. Guess if you're a fence, you can get away with selling stolen goods because you can claim you thought you bought the item legitimately. I'm sure those fences were selling other people's bikes as well, but cops didn't do anything.

The deterrence for small crimes is slowly falling as thieves are realizing that the cops are not punishing thieves even after catching them red-handed.
Entering the European prison system is not a life ending experience like it is here in the US. Once you get out of prison, you have a record and because of that you are ineligible for many jobs. That leads to a cycle that lands you back in prison. Like they say, once you are in the system it is extremely hard to get out.

Its even joked about in American media[1]:https://youtu.be/q7GiJHBNqvU?t=54

These laws that are causing all this chaos are a desperate attempt to break this cycle but clearly poorly implemented. But the fundamental truth is that we cannot achieve the European method without overhauling the whole system. That takes either a very brave politician at the top or people elected in the various multiple layers that form the current apparatus. I don't see progressives capable of doing this. It is near impossible to get just one person elected so overhauling the prison system? Forget about it.
It has been like this since the beginning.
> Educated Westerners generally know far less about China than educated Chinese people know about the West.

Source?

>Anti-Chinese propaganda has dramatically ratcheted up in the West (it really began during the Trump administration), and since most people know nothing about China to begin with, they basically believe what they're exposed to in the media.

If that's your argument, I'd like to point out how much more distorted the news is within China than within liberal democratic nations. You don't honestly believe the Chinese media feeds a more accurate view of the world to it's constituents do you? They literally outlaw information, and have what essentially constitutes a CCP controlled national intranet. If we were to rank China against ALL western nations for information and journalism freedom they'd be dead last: https://freedomhouse.org/countries/freedom-world/scores

Edit: I'd also like to point out that I, as an educated American, have worked with people from 12 different countries, for a number of years each, across 3 companies that have employed me. All within the U.S. borders. How many non-Western countries have such a wonderful amount of diversity?

I think the point was that for that remaining bit that can’t be extracted into pure functions still is really broad in what it can do with just “IO”

IO on it’s own could mean disk, network, environment variables, sub processes, etc.

My take away is that they’d like to see IO defined as the union of its parts that can also be decomposed, so you’d have a DiskIO monad or ExecIO

That way you can be more certain that you’re not accidentally going to do a bunch of network io before your sub process kicks off. Right now you can’t have that guarantee (out of the box, at least. idk if there’re any user land libraries to do such a thing)
> and other “boring” languages that are probably older than some of the people who read HN

I can't remember who said this, but "use boring technology" is a well used strategy. Why take the risk with a new programming language when they old ones are well understood and offer a large hiring pool?

I won't be taking the time to learn rust until the jobs are there for them. It's a chicken and egg problem I know.

Many are unaware that Eric Clapton is a self-proclaimed racist. Maybe he wasn't directly responsible for his son's death, but he sure found a way to massively benefit from it by commercializing the death of his son with insincere and hacky ballad. Maybe Clapton once had considerable technical skill, prior to his heroin addiction, but he was never innovative and stole everything he played from Black artists. And, if it wasn't obvious already, he is not very intelligent. By wasting effort trying to eliminate bootlegs, which is not possible, he stepped over a fortune to pick up a pittance, when myriads of intelligent artists have long recognized and proven that bootlegs of live shows are free marketing that massively expands the audience-base and helps drive record sales. He is an embarrassment to blues music. I'll never tolerate the sound of his lousy, unoriginal, repetitious, and uninspired aural vomit again.
Like most of that list! I would love mandatory voting. Can always write in 'i hate the system.'
