> Who, exactly, is he talking to? Himself. Aloud.

My grandmother regularly commented the stuff coming out of her radio, to her radio, including "thanking" the host after a show. Was that quirky? Yeah, sure! Was it a problem of any kind? I don't think so, because she was aware that the other side couldn't hear her. She just felt it was funny and an opportunity to vent.

A colleague of mine "talks" to our servers and swears at them if they don't want to do what he wants. If they "behave", he praises them with a smile, like you would with a dog.
Yeah, also quirky, but of course he's aware that they are not alive and can't hear him. No mental illness here, IMO.

Alexa et al also have the sci-fi factor ("wow, this box can talk!") going for them, which sparks joy in many people and makes them want to interact with it.

Are you sure you're friends roommate is not the same? Humanizing objects and thinking that they have "personalities" (but knowing that they are not alive and, in reality, can't have any) is not a new thing and really widespread, at least in my bubble :D

I agree with the rest of your post and your point in general, though.

Denmark recently killed four suspected pirates in Bay of Guinea (actually five as it was later discovered). The Danish forces were fired at while trying to apprehend the suspected pirates so you can argue it was self defense and the intent was not to kill.

I'm worried that the gaming industry is on a decline. Some of the biggest games are >5 years old, I can't think of a big franchise that started in the last 5 years, the steam greenlight program is a pile of shit, and new games are getting held to the standard of existing games which discourages new-comers.

I almost wanna throw my hands up and give in, like how big can a problem be before it stops being a problem.

Private security is an expected cost for any business (or homeowner for that matter). Even if the local police department is fully staffed, they certainly can't be everywhere at all times, respond instantly to a report of crime, or deal with issues that it is not staffed for such as rampant technology-enabled crime.

So, maybe the security is an investment in new cameras. Maybe it's a better lock that can't be bypassed. Maybe it's an investment in network security personnel or systems. Maybe it's a doorman at the apartment building, or a security guard serving as "eyes and ears" for the police.

My question earlier is how much UP - a publicly listed company with $20B in revenue in 2020 - has increased security expenditures to keep up with traffic, theft, and other potential threats to its business.

Microsoft is extremely successful with Azure. Apple did not compete at all on public cloud offering.
Yeah it doesn’t, the mistake is thinking the “select *” is the expensive bit, for limit 15 it’s cheap, it’s the offset 150000 that is expensive deferred or not.
I don’t think you are it’s clearly the case. I also think MobilEyes approach is far better than Tesla’s and they might actually win the race even if they are hardly competing in it openly.

I do like the idea behind their safety model and the approach that the difference between L3+/4 and L5 is about reducing the MTBF to essentially 0 rather than just adding more compute and features.

They also are probably the only company that A) has had multiple generations of their hardware and software in a lot of different types of vehicles on the road for over a decade and B) don’t undersell the problem and oversell their solutions at all.

As far as I’m concerned they seem to be the only responsible player in the market right now.
I cant judge .doc on its technical merits, but its closed nature is really something.

Whenever someone presents a flow diagram to describe software or infrastructure, I pretty much panic. It always seems like everyone in the room immediately understands this kind of thing, but to me every box and line and arrow looks like sheer ambiguity.

I tend to think in bulleted lists. Programs are a series of steps, often containing substeps and branches. Infrastructure allows data (requests) to traverse a series of steps as well. Each branch of steps and substeps looks like a bulleted list in my head.
I've been using one of those "short clip everyday" apps for the last 6 years. The only noticeable effect it's had on my life is that I have mundane/everyday/real-life footage of people/pets who have passed away unexpectedly. So when family members are looking for a way to remember them, they tend to ask me if I can dig up any of my "one seconds." It's a bittersweet job, but I'm glad I'm able to provide some comfort that way.
It took a good 5 minutes read of the entire blog post to understand that "Do Svidaniya" is actually "До Свидания" (Russian), meaning "until next time/Goodbye".
The workflow that many teams use (myself included) is to iterate on detailed requirements in a doc, often in a table. They do this so that they can iterate on them in a more collaborative place vs Jira/Linear. It's also more accessible to the broader team (sales, design, marketing, etc).

Then after aligning they copy + paste those requirements into the issue tracker. They often also include a link back to the doc. But then you have two places that show the same requirements, one for eng and one for others and they almost always get out of sync. Plus it's a bit annoying for eng to have to parse thru the spec to map requirements for a specific ticket.

This is the workflow we're solving for!

As for Linear + Notion or Jira integration, it's entirely possible they add it but our approach is to focus on a few product team focused integrations and go deep on them

My pet feature removal case is when they pushed an update for a GTA that removed a good bunch of the original songs from the radio. The articles I found are for GTA IV but I'm certain that the issue was with an earlier version at first.
I think psychologists largely admit ADHD is a bit of a black box. Maybe genetic, maybe not, specific individual treatments are required, etc. Even meds won't work consistently from patient to patient. That's all fine though because generally some awareness that there's something neurologically aberrant occurring is one of the greatest tools to help cope and strategize. This is where the psychologist can really shine, offering families insight into how to live with ADHD. Whether it be a child, spouse, parent, whatever.

No psychologist I've spoken to or read a book from has claimed to have a firm grasp on what ADHD is. They even admit the diagnosis is very much done "by feel", requiring as much history and cross-reference of family and friends' experiences to be certain.
The remedy for that is a crack
look at this way: a business makes a change (in this case buying vs subscription). do they do it in their own interest or yours?

super simple stuff.

steam presented a bit of an issue about owning what you pay for. because, if their service is down, you can't access your "assets". some people called it a type of subscription model.

with this shift in the industry, outright paying a subscription for temporary access, we move even further away from owning what we pay for.

imagine never buying a house but always renting. why be against it? who is that business model good for? what kind of world are we voting for when we buy into these types of businesses?

in the long term, a subscription model puts us, the customers, at a loss. and a successful business plans for long term.
Interesting they choose the word vandalism here. I hope they’re distinguishing between someone doing graffiti and someone breaking into a container and stealing what’s inside it.

Before anyone jumps to “well broken window” freight graffiti has been a thing for like 40 years and has no correlation to container robberies.

It's fairly inconvenient to have to use your phone as the remote, especially when you want to do something on your phone (or watch something else) while the kids watch netflix.

We have disney+, and my TV apparently thinks we're not subscribed. My phone does, though, and I can cast from that. Yes, we can watch Encanto again, but it's very jarring when the normal interactions with the TV don't work.
The GP's linked article[0] doesn't say anything about fonts. It says that the MTA sued someone for using the letter 'N' in a circle on a T-shirt. Not even the same color scheme.

Judging from the examples on one of the MTA's branding pages[1], there doesn't seem to be anything particularly unique about the font they're using. They don't even mention it by name. Other sources claim the official signage is a mix of Helvetica and Akzidenz Grotesk. In any case, fontface designs are not copyrightable in the US. Fonts can be (as programs/data) but that isn't really relevant here.

Quick and easy for the devs too I bet.
> I'm not even sure it's meaningful to compare the "relative pointiness" of angles between different dimensions.

I think this is actually something we can't avoid. The problem with dodging the question this way is that it's really, really easy to translate a low-dimensional angle up into a higher-dimensional space.

Imagine I have two 2D vectors, U and V, with an angle between them. I can think of them as representing an infinite 1D surface consisting of the points (m·u_1 + n·v_1, m·u_2 + n·v_2) for all nonnegative real m and n.

It's trivial to define a 2D surface in 3D space representing exactly the same angle: it is the points (m·u_1 + n·v_1, m·u_2 + n·v_2, a) for all nonnegative real m and n and all real a. When the angle between U and V is θ radians, this surface will always express an angle of 2θ steradians. I don't think it's a stretch to say that the two angles, θ radians and 2θ steradians, must be equally sharp. (And indeed, the flat-line / flat-plane example is a special case of this one.)

You think the reason for Android and iPhone is Microsoft anti trust? Why? The final settlement didn't amount to much

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_C....

If anything it proves that we didn't need anti trust action, the market took care of itself. Microsoft stagnated, Steve Jobs returned to Apple and innovated, Google had a great search algorithm and piggy backed their infrastructure on free software (Linux) and then ripped off apples design for phone software.

Am I missing something or is the first bullet point completely orthogonal to the second. They talk about train thefts on the rise but then cite a statistic about "over 100 arrests" for vandalism? How are these related? What are the stats for arrests for theft?
I've heard some discussion around reclassifying certain mental illness into clusters - things like depression and anxiety have extremely high levels of comorbidity.
Restic. If you create a restic backup it asks you for an encryption password, you enter it, co fogure the folders etc.

Sadly it has no gui (that I know of) but something like runtestic can help with automated incremental and encrypted backups, where you only want to keep the last n versions (and for example a weekly snapshot)
Or, for that matter, Microsoft Office.
> the notion that automation creates more jobs is false

This is true in the first-order analysis but history has shown that people with free time will find a way to use their newfound time to create new industry. It wasn't all that long ago that >50% of people were farmers. We don't have 50% unemployment now that we have mega-combines and all the other machinery that has made it so <1% of people need to farm. We won't have 50% unemployment when the robots come to do factory jobs and drive trucks.

Hard drives are cheap, so space is not an argument anymore, for reasonable uses of disk space. And most uses are reasonable!

Ah, but you might say, if a shared library is compromised, it's easy to push a fix! But how to you think it got so widely compromised in the first place? Perhaps because it was a widely shared library? Sharing is a double-edged sword.

The impetus behind the virtual environments for scripting languages, like Python's venv and Ruby's RVM, is isolation from the base system. Untold developer hours have been lost in attempts to run software with different dependencies than the base system. It's a total mess.

We shouldn't expect an operating system to be a monolith that dictates the dependency versions for all the code that runs on it. Code should be deployed in sandboxes and it should be independent of the base system. When the code is removed, it should be like it was never there.
It is indeed normal. I mentioned it by way of an intro to the unusual alternative I saw.
I have a raspberry pi with a 1TB USB stick, which is enough space for me atm.

I use SFTP to upload new pictures from phones etc. to the pi. There are many apps that can do SFTP, like e.g. Foldersync on Android.

I have a shell script on the pi that runs once/day and uploads new files to S3 storage, after encrypting them with gpg.

I occasionally get a new USB stick and retire the old one, keeping it as a backup copy.

The whole thing actually works quite well and means:

- Local, unencrypted files I can access easily

- Encrypted files in the cloud, that no external parties can read

- Physical backups that I can put in a safe, or whatever

Our legal system is expensive, and much of that expense is baked into the constitution.

Most of our justice system is designed to prioritize offenses that make money for the government/police/DA. Which means, focusing on drug offenses. Any crime tangentially-related to drugs can result in civil asset forfeiture. DUIs result in massive fines, so those get attention too. But theft is a cost-center crime and is largely ignored.
I partly agree, but not completely.

In the case of healthcare, it's partly the cost of technology - a generation ago there were no MRIs, drugs were less complex, etc. The quality and outcomes have massively improved in many areas.

Even with housing, you have material costs and labor costs. Everyone talks about density, but if someone isn't working with a UBI, then they can live in the middle of nowhere. Most of the housing issues are really a personal choices and labor location.
That's what they are saying, the government isn't supplying them with that data.
It is actually not for employment, but as I work as consultant / contractor I have these agencies between me and possible customers. They enjoy to edit out any contact information from CVs to act as middlemen. It sucks but does not reflect on the actual assignment in the end.
There's no point getting permission - via a potentially involved negotiation and lawyers and contracts - if you can't even find the code to fulfill that contract with.

In the muddle of defunct companies, mergers, lapsed contracts, etc. - figuring out who actually owns the copyright can be a bit muddled. An engineer who may have squirreled away a copy - or who knows where such a copy might be squirreled away - is more likely than almost anyone else to know what company might own the copyright, and possible points of contact within that company to contact to even try to begin negotiation, even if they no longer work for the company.
I took an aggressive martial art in college. At the end of the first week the instructor sat us all down. “I’ve taught you some ways to do harm. If you’re attacked I expect you use those methods. Do not to hesitate to protect yourself or others. Now let’s talk about how not to do harm. Tonight on your way home some of you will cut across the field. When you do you may see a plant in the path. I want you to not step on it. Not because the plant matters and certainly not because the plant matters more than you. But because you matter and your actions matter. I want you to avoid doing unnecessary harm not for the sake of those who might be harmed, but for your sake, because you matter.”
Same applies to not abusing bots.
I don't have aphantasia, but I do have a harder time visualizing things than most people. I also don't even attempt to visual code. What would it even look like, other than code?

Organizing it in my head just happens in the same way that remembering a list of steps to solve any problem does. There's no visual component. For that matter, there doesn't need to be an audio component, either.
Anyone got any good fireproof safe recommendations that will save a back up external HD from melting? Also keep water/humidity out, block electrical signals from frying it, any other threat factors I am missing?
> Diagrams are visual and need many more bites than the code they are created from.

Only if you store them inefficiently.

> Just compare a gif of a diagram and its description.

A bitmap image (GIF or otherwise) is an inefficient way to store a diagram. For a purely semantic diagram, the source it represents minus anything not actually represented in the diagram is sufficient; if you have additional presentational information you need that, too. For a diagram-specific format, something like graphviz or mermaid source is a possible representation.

I'd guess it's power FETs that fail. You'd have to design a shield of sorts, manufacture it, and still bury it in a compound with the pi, since high-temp high-humidity environment will kill them in weeks. Of course, being buried in a brick of epoxy, both switching and the pi would have all sorts of cooling problems.

It can be done, but it's not that simple.

On one hand, automation will help bring back manufacturing competitiveness in the West because the capital expenditure is going down (a dobot mg400 which is ~$4k) and labour is essentially $0. On the other hand, what will happen to all the low cost labour in the developing nations? Such as the migrant workers in China?

Forget about here in North America where UBI is a possibility - I think we can agree UBI is not possible in low income countries.

For me grief is a sudden pang for something I can't have any more. Being pulled aside in a hallway by my grandfather so he can tell me a dirty joke. The bland taste of my grandmother's 'Chicken a la king'.

The first time i felt these was often months, even years after their passing. And in moments of vulnerability they can cut quite deep.

The crying you do in the moment has very little to do with grief in my opinion. Grief isn't being upset at a sudden change in the status quo of your life, it's the ongoing losses that you deal with as you move on.

I can't remember any of my Grandfather's jokes now. I went years without thinking about them once. Now it bothers me whenever I think of him.

To quote Gordon Lightfoot, "the feeling is gone and I just can't get it back".
