> UP can increase their investment in securing their trains and property.

That's exactly what they're proposing/threatening:

> As a result of Los Angeles County’s rail theft crisis, customers like UPS and FedEx that utilize our essential rail service during peak holiday season are now seeking to divert rail business away to other areas in the hope of avoiding the organized and opportunistic criminal theft that has impacted their own business and customers. Like our customers, UP is now contemplating serious changes to our operating plans to avoid Los Angeles County. We do not take this effort lightly, particularly during the supply chain crisis, as this drastic change to our operations will create significant impacts and strains throughout the local, state, and national supply chain systems.

You'd think it would be common sense to not let repeat offenders get off easy, but it looks like that's exactly what the DA is doing here. Pretty simple case of "show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome" — if you let people rob trains with little to no consequences, they're going to keep doing it.
I'm still bullish on $AMD to break much further into the enterprise space. So many AWS instances still run on Xeons. That's slowly changing, especially now with stuff like Graviton , but I think AMD can go much higher just on enterprise.
The nostalgia I have for 2009-2011's webOS, as a former app dev for the platform and its embrace of the Web Platform, is still very much real to the point that I keep my Palm Pre 2 dev unit behind me in my home office. Still charges and boots just like it did back in 2010. I'd love to see something with the computing power of the present try it again (and I'm aware React Native exists), but my expectations of it ever coming to fruition are rather low.

Aside: Seeing MagSafe chargers for iPhones these days makes me chuckle. Also a webOS innovation from back in...2009.
I recently got an Anova -- with touch controls, and it works great both with and without the app. The top is a big bigger to handle the screen and touch controls.

Making an immersion circulator app-only is likely a BOM-reducing measure, which is fine (given that active time is probably at most a few minutes like twice a day). And you can get smaller form factors too with app-only control (e.g. Ember Mug).

If dermatologists worked like psychiatrists they wouldn't be able to tell acne and chickenpox apart (and they'd treat both with face powder).

One of the worse example is schizophrenia, which is attributed if you have at least two symptoms out of a list of five (meaning that people with totally distinct symptoms end up with the same diagnosis). There were genome-wide association studies in the 2010's that identified 7 or 8 distinct transcription factor networks with polymorphisms associated with a risk of schizophrenia. Every network is associated with the same symptoms.

In other words schizophrenia is likely at least 7 distinct diseases that are so orphaned they don't have a name.

Another example is eating disorders, where both bulimia and anorexia are probably underpinned by the same pathology that involves an auto-immune response following a cross-reaction to a bacterial protein that mimics a satiety hormone.

C1750 treadmill, was able to drop into android launcher, install f store, dropbear. After being able to ssh into the treadmill I found the mediatek soc they use has an exploit app to get a root shell. Further decompiling of the ifit app apk shows it’s written in c#/mono, sending bytes to a usb device for treadmill control. I ran out of patience trying to intercept writes with strace and just went back to running.

From another comment:
> Seems to be worth the inflation IMO.

Some things will become expensive. Some might be balanced. Construction cost will increase, but land value may decrease (since there is no necessity to crowd in job hubs).

Taxis and Uber will probably increase as people are not forced to work at all costs, but people might find this trade-off favorable: unemployment is far more painful than having to take the bus.

And everyone could still work to afford expensive things, if they chose so. They will also have much better working conditions, since they will have much more negotiation power.
I'm currently working on a python-based gRPC project. I use envoy to handle all the stuff you mentioned. I do like gRPC compared to REST, although I wish there were more native data types for gRPC, e.g. UUID and Decimal/Numeric - I create types for these ala google's string marshalling for decimals, but it means therefore I must do my own data validation.
Is power really a zero-sum game? Launching the nukes would be bad for whoever they blew up, but bad for whoever launched them, too, particularly if whoever they launched them at launched their own.

If the US were to release all the wrongly-convicted brown-skinned people, would that be good for China and bad for the US? Maybe it would be good for the US not to incarcerate innocent people who could be living productive, meaningful lives. They might even buy more Chinese factory output. And, likewise, if China stopped abusing its Uyghur citizens, that would certainly be good for that segment of Chinese society, and arguably for the rest. There must be plenty of Han who are (or would be if they knew) troubled by China's abuses, and maybe wonder if they're next. But it's hard to see how that would benefit the US.

The fact is, neither China nor the US is monolithic. Anything that changes has winners and losers within each country. Private prisons would hate losing their massively profitable inmates. States would welcome the drop in drain on their budgets (provided their contracts with the private prisons did not mean it would incur penalties and cost them even more).

That doesn't sound like something that would reduce my workload as a driver. Sounds like I need to be with hands on the wheels, always on the lookout for the system not to respond to something that it otherwise should, AND for things that it shouldn't. Waiting for the system to respond and acting when it doesn't means my response delay has actually increased, making me more susceptible to accidents. Am I wrong?

> Many phenomena have an evolutionary explanation. However some phenomena do not

Some traits might just present themselves as {seemingly nonsensical activity} in an industrialised world. Where back in time, these same people might have an advantage in {seemingly sensible activity}.

This does not preclude random traits being passed on, it is merely another way too look at things.

> and trying to find an evolutionary mating/survival/etc. narrative for each of them does not make sense

It is also a very lazy and uninteresting line of thought.

Of course {trait} had en evolutionary advantage. Why else would it be here? And if it is indeed random, then it may be of slightly more interest, but tells me very little.

We’re observing shadows cast against a wall. Eagerly pointing out this and that pattern. When the interesting part is knowing the individual shapes that make up the dancing display.

GPU Availability and Pricing Update: January 2022
I'm at the tail end of a career, and found that specializing in a stack can be great when you are in mid-career and the stack is hot. You don't want to specialize too early because it pigeonholes you. And you don't want to stay specialized too late, because your skills stagnate. But I rode one stack for 15 years -- got in it when it was young, did great in it for 5 years, then once it declined, I spent 10 years helping people shut it down and transform to new stacks. In the process picked up the next stack to specialize in.

Dr. Huberman says it is actually the amount of light you get early in the morning, which sets up your sleep cycle later in the day.
Machines in a business setting when they cause death, often it is due to improper safety protocol for said machines.

Consumer devices don't have this level of control over a person's life anywhere near as often, in the sense that the device has your life at stake and makes decisions for you.

"no one is at fault" is entirely counter intuitive to engineering principles. When a rare accident happens, the engineer is often responsible.

We don't 'build' AI in anywhere remotely the same way as buildings or legacy software products, there isn't a 'designer' for said AI system other than the training model - which can certainly not account for every possible edge case.

tldr: avoid features in TypeScript which must emit runtime code when compiling to JavaScript - that is, any TypeScript-exclusive feature that’s not type annotations.

Honestly most of these features are really useful, and as someone who never wants to work in raw JavaScript, I wish they were just added to JavaScript instead. Why shouldn’t JavaScript have enums, namespaces, private modifiers which aren’t #, and decorators? JS already gets new features which break backward-compatibility, mine as well add features which fix compatibility with TypeScript.

Back when the Apache was beaten there was no commercial licensing in Nginx.

Also the Apache that was beaten was Apache 1, which was fork-only, and that was the whole reason Nginx was written in the first place.

Then Apache did Apache2 with mpm modules and badly missed the mark. After that Apache was doomed. No async support == dead. It was that simple.

One of my professors in grad school was really into code visualization and we dabbled through a survey of the code viz approaches back then (~10 years ago now, geez).

I do not visualize code. I did, once, in a way, but that faded...

Any serious attempt to view code in a true multimodule/multithread/dynamic/static way to really _see_ the whole thing in toto takes us out of the Euclidian space we all wander in, to the _different_, tree based, non-linear space of a turing machine simulating some aspect of an extended lambda calculus (how extended? depends on your language). Code flows into and out of data, closing, suspending, and continuing, on one or more processors on one or more computers, through dizzying heights of dependencies, libraries, networks, and languages.

A Riemannian/Euclidian space is simply not the model needed to break into actual code viz.
One interesting implication of AI warfare is an increase in the tempo of war. Decisions won't happen on human timescales, but some of war and combat is making ethical judgments in the heat of the moment. We will need to make war AI that can evaluate moral dilemmas.

Alternatively we will neglect to program for ethics, and the consequences will be unpleasant.
According to the UN (since 1/1/10): [1] x18 in favor of Israelis... 220-vs-4032.
Most of the Palestinians (3000) were killed in Gaza. Which bring me back to my original point. Israel gave Gaza control to the Palestinians in 2005 only to wake up the next year to find Hamas taking control and later starting to shoot rockets at Israeli civilians. All the power and support they gain only mounted to terror.

I will acknowledge Israel is stronger. But I also acknowledge what happens in Gaza is 85% due to the Hamas terroristic organization being terroristic. How the hell does that even imply Israel as an apartheid. Who knows.

Is the fact the Egypt also closes the border with Gaza, Make them also an apartheid state? I guess the problem here is not Israel.

> IANL: What is the rules for use of force for railroad police, or railroad authorities protecting cargo?

Also NAL. Force has to be proportional. That means that an unarmed trespasser stealing property can't be shot, only detained.

> It seems people are breaking into these cars without fear of force, or prosecution.

I'm sure they have some fear. I doubt that they want to get caught, since it's at least a few hours or a weekend in jail to get processed. As far as prosecution goes, if I were a criminal, I'd either naively think that I'll never get caught/prosecuted, or just accept that it might happen at any time, but I prefer theft now over avoiding maybe-prosecution in the future.

> Combined, those are like a powder keg of lawlessness.

There's no powderkeg here, so long as we don't escalate. If prosecutions don't start, the likely thing to happen is that the railyards will improve physical security (e.g. razorwire fencing everywhere, reduce trains at rest), improve their security forces and response times, and pass any remaining expense onto the customers.
You need a taxable base to implement social democracy - so yeah you'd need a functioning economy in order to fund social services, and Bulgaria is, AFAIK, pretty corrupt. But solving corruption is a political issue.

We'd also need to move off of ICE cars, and it was the car industry that tried to suppress that. Also the fossil fuel industry that puts out propaganda against new forms of energy - capital and the state are in alliance. Some parties can be better (left wing ones) but there's a ton of propaganda against them by corporations too.

> From the train's POV the train was vandalized but nothing that belongs the the train company was stolen.

Trains are inanimate and don't have a POV, and from the perspective of UP (which has a police force notionally charged with addressing crimes on railway property, not merely crimes against the railway), that’s not correct if an actual theft occurred.
If people are being caught stealing from trains and the same people are walking out of court and going to rob the next train in the same location again the next day, then yes, the government, the prosecution and the court system are failing in their duty here.
It's at best accidental lack of precision. It is inarguable that graffiti is vandalization: it is possible but unlikely that they are using it here only to describe a subset of the activities it means.

The criticism of Dr Walker are often harsh. He made the subject accessible to the general public. He did make some poor connections, and drew conclusions that maybe aren't completely agreed upon across the sleep community, but the anger against him and people calling him a charlatan, I believe, is misguided.

I've found when confronted with new evidence, or evidence of his errors, Dr. Walker has been very good about owning up to his mistakes.
One of many reasons is pushing containers from GitHub Actions automation to AWS ECR (registry).
The knowledge of a satellite's orbit is taken by using the prior parameters of the orbit, predicting where the satellite will be, and pointing a combination of telescopes (for precise angular measurements) and radars (for precise distance measurements) at this location, and measuring the error between where the satellite is and where it is expected to be. A set of these observations are then used to update the "known" orbit.

This known orbit is then provided back to the satellite so that it can be broadcast. If this system of updates stopped working, the quality of GPS position estimates would degrade pretty quickly (think weeks, not years).

This also means that if a GPS satellite were to need to maneuver for some reason -- either periodically boosting back into its assigned orbit or for debris avoidance -- the normal system of updates will catch this and users will never have to know or care that the satellite moved.
