Not a particularly realistic view of automation. Real automation is productivity tooling that turns semi skilled labor into unskilled labor, at vastly fewer heads. Most tasks have some last mile task that still requires someone with a pulse to be there.

Like store clerks used to be fairly high skill jobs. If there’s truly no need for lower tier labor we will enter a never before seen economic inflection point, and a race to remove labor costs at every point in the system, because you’ve implicitly suggested we have achieved generally intelligent, physically present ai
> People bitch when the FDA says “no”

Do they, though? I mean, I don't live in the US, but when some regulatory body forbids the sale of something medicinal my tendency is to have a sigh of relief about being spared something dangerous - and that's based on the assumption that regulation is too lax.

Of course there are exceptions to this rule, e.g. how governments have mostly prevented the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes because of the plant's psychoactive effects, but still... who actually bitches about FDA disapprovals?
I watched two episodes of Komi Can't Communicate on Netflix and felt that. I thought it was good though, maybe it would have helped my socially anxious younger self.

Try fixing up a project house. It's amazing how quickly once beautiful properties can get run down without maintenance. And the hundreds of hours you can lose trying to undo the damage.
I would have called some of that stuff electronic, not digital. (Like the telegraph.) TIL why the Pony Express lasted for such a short time. I always thought that something so baked in Americana lasting barely a year was sort of funny.
This sounds like one of the classic stories by SecurityMonkey a.k.a. Chief:

It is a good thing to be encouraged to saving instead of spending.

No one needs incentive to spend. You will spend if you have plenty to spend. Having a currency which gains in value will take you there.
How much does that job pay compared to other things, and compared to the poverty line? What's a specific country I should look at here?

It's definitely possible to give away too much, but that's not a good argument that $0 is optimal.
My apologies, I wasn't clear. I agree, audited code can have bugs - but I'm not assuming that the presence of the bug was the indicator that it hadn't been audited.

I'm taking the fact that I haven't heard of log4j being audited, the fact that I haven't heard of Apple auditing an external product before importing it into their environment, and the fact that auditing open-source software isn't standard practice among tech companies to make that assumption.

...although, the bug is sort of blatant. I would hope that an audit would catch this particular one, at least.
So you're basically arguing that abuse and exploitation is necessary.
What's your point? That's a valid criticism of dime-store romance novels.
The NSF funds basic science, including life sciences. NIH targets diseases. (and the NSF or NIH will not fund something if it better fits under the other) I certainly think it's a valuable thing to have a federal agency doing. If you want more basic life science, funding this area in the NSF more would be the way it's done in the system we have today. NIH has the cancer institute and the institute of mental health and so on. It is therefore really the domain of physicians. They want a path through mouse (or whatever) then human clinical studies, and want to see doctors as co-PI's.

The fact that this careful practical system still pumps out so much bs is very problematic. I think it's the same problem as other research areas, not the fault of the NIH system itself.
Hm haven't seen any machines that have the similar form factor, but the only arcades I go to are in Japan. Would be interested what music they have in the clone machines. I had a sideloaded APK that was a Jubeat approximation called Yubiosu for a while, before the official Android Jubeat Plus came out, but for whatever reason they only ever supported Jubeat Plus on a few devices. Since I don't otherwise have any iDevices, I'd rather just import a cabinet than get an iPad just for that.

How about in the drive through? Moving the pouring of dine in/take out to the customers happened mid 200x, and saved labor back then, too.
The author is doing the Watchmen Jon Osterman narrative thing. She was 20 in 2006.
And just to be clear: by "grilling" you mean lying about and endangering the families of non-elected bureaucrats for the purposes of political fundraising. You're exhibiting and defending precisely the behavior I mean when I say Libertarians are "self-centered anti-social assholes".

You are not pretty different yourself, since you believe and spread the same conspiracy theories, and support Rand Paul's attack of complete falsehoods against Fauci and his family. Rand Paul's statements were mendacious lies, yet you support him and his lies and threats against Fauci for the sole purpose of fundraising.

I'm glad you don't incorrectly disagree with the fact that most of the arguments proffered against ACA are just lies and racist dog whistles, but I certainly don't agree with you that it's a valid tactic, the ends justify the means, or that using racism and lies and threats and spreading misinformation against people's families to grab power and raise money is in any way ethical or justified, or a "great tactic" and that "misinformation works", as Rand Paul himself says.

These are interesting points, and it seems to be that being up-to-date with packages would make your life better. try debian/sid for up-to-date stuff. I use it with KDE and the proprietary NVidia driver. Works great for me!
Obviously accidents happen. But I’d bet 100x over on municipalities (at least in areas I’d want to live in) over ordinary people any day. In places like Cambridge MA, NYC and SF the water is checked multiple times a day for a wide variety of contaminants using industrial processes unavailable to consumers. Similarly, they have the techniques, resources, knowledge, and scale to do filtration not feasible for ordinary people. Just looking at the wide variety of masks out there for Covid and their usage, assuming ordinary people would be willing to pay for top RO equipment and maintain it seems like a leap too far (most would just get a Brita and call it a day). It’s also unreasonable — we pay taxes in order to solve societal problems at societal scale using specialized knowledge and standards that few can replicate.

If there are cases where municipal water supplies are contaminated and it’s unknown for a while, then we need to address that by either changing federal laws, changing funding sources, or otherwise fix such issues for all.
This massively oversimplifies the state of technology and is unfairly dismissive of the significant productivity hit that some changes can inflict on the most loyal and experienced users.

There's a big difference between "I am willing to work, even though I can get enough money to survive without doing so" and "Under those conditions, I am still willing to work at a job that dehumanizes and degrades me constantly, for very little extra money."
You're not being asked for that kind of concern. It's a retrospective critique of an artist, and a negative one. That's all. Criticism would be super boring if it was never negative.
Bridging the gaps of networking toward jobs, I would entertain LinkedIn for a "sense of whats out there" and to potentially take on a contract with a recruiter. Many of the LI-type recruiters are going to be a fair place to try out your skillset fit and get a foot in the community in a real way, albeit with a strange middleman, just instead of paying Madagascar-starting-wages they pay US-starting-wages.
As far as I know, typeinfo is used at compile time. In general, doing runtime type shenanigans involves implementing things like vtables, and some other weirdness. This breaks "no hidden control flow".

If you do that at comprime instead, the thing that runs at runtime is just memory offsets. You can for example generate code that parses json into 30 types you know at compile time, or you can use things like hashmaps and arraylists and whatnot to do it at runtime.

You get a lot of mileage by just doing the dynamic code away from runtime, and that's one of the benefits of comptime. And it's a slow thing to realize, also not necessarily something everyone cares about.
I think your agent idea is good. I'd want to add in a way for the agent to detect when a key is used twice (to catch other processes using the key) or when the code you wrote didn't get the key directly (to catch proxies), and then a way to kill or suspend the process for review. Would be pretty sweet.
I'm a huge fan of WLED. It tends to work flawlessly after some minor tweaking of settings, at least on my ESP8266 board with WS2815 LED strips. The built-in effects are likely sufficient for most uses and can easily be programmatically controlled by something like Home Assistant [1].

If you consider building a setup, I would only recommend ensuring your wiring is correct and the power supplies are sufficient for the LEDs you're using, unless the board's built-in power output (probably with a level shifter to 5V) is enough.

Not everyone has the same experiences with Amazon. I guess I've had pretty good experiences with Amazon as a retail customer per se, in terms of delivery and returns, but beyond that it's an entirely different story.

I miss my Sony DSC U20 from 2004 or so. The focusing was really good for some reason - you could just point it randomly, press the button and it would instantly take a well focused picture unlike modern phone cameras that tend to wait a few seconds and then get it wrong. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Cybershot-DSC-U-Digital-Camera...). They weren't very long lived though - most seemed to pack up in a few years.
> I can offer up a recipe for "Brown Stew" if anyone's interested

Is that the Good Housekeeping recipe book by any chance? That has a number of brown things, including stew.

"SAVOURY SAUCES

"Vast as the number of individual savoury sauces may be, most of them can be divided into White (simple or rich), Brown and Egg sauces, plus a group of Miscellaneous ones such as Mint Sauce."

Though it is actually a pretty good cookery book in many ways.

Thanks OP, I feel like I have been doing what you describe without noticing , you articulated it pretty well. Thanks again, and good luck.
> No, this is not correct, read the link. It literally says Prometheus was built on reverse engineered systems.

It’s a fan page of a TV show, not a technical manual. so I’m not going to take their use of technical jargon literally.

I distinctly remember them using the term “retrofitted” over and over again in the show. But maybe they did also say then second design was “reverse engineered” and I overlooked that. It’s all just make believe anyway so it’s not like it really matters who’s right :)
>It's just risk management dude

Risk management is about accessing risk and taking precautions. It's can very well be a private matter.

Fussing, openly squirming, talking down to people out of anxiety, etc. is lacking dignity.
I agree, the app is horrifically bad. Its hard to find the included content, it takes a long time for it to bring up the description of the video, the play delay is terrible, and it has smooth fast forward/rewind which I personally despise.

The only thing that makes it worth dealing with is the excellent content. Oh, and the fact that I can generally download something quickly to watch on a plane after boarding but before takeoff, since T-Mobile throttles Netflix, but apparently not AppleTV.
That's just wrong and I think you've been sucked into the "distortion field" that surround him. I jumped to a random spot in this video and found several inaccuracies in seconds in how he described how the cooling process worked.
That is crypto-to-crypto.

Your earlier comment said there are dirty wallets. How does someone get dirty cash in to that dirty wallet?
For example, which bank allows deposit of dirty cash so the bank account holder can then wire the funds to an exchange?
Stochastic gradient descent optimization of the layout based on distances in walks in the graph?
A weakness of modern secret management is that it isn’t.

A secret value ought to be very carefully guarded even from the host machine itself.

.NET for example has SecureString, which is a good start — it can’t be accidentally printed or serialised insecurely. If it is serialised, then it is automatically encrypted by the host OS data protection API.

Windows even has TPM-hosted certificates! They’re essentially a smart card plugged into the motherboard.

A running app can use a TPM credential to sign requests but it can’t read or copy it.

These advancements are just completely ignored in the UNIX world, where everything is blindly copied into easily accessible locations in plain text…
Some grouping or merging of URLs for major news would be nice, though hard to implement. For example Apple releases a new product, new version of Firefox, new S1 filing of $unicorn. Each leads to 10 different stories being submitted in very short time period. Different websites, sometimes just slightly different URLs (bbc.com vs bbc.co.uk or mobile vs desktop URL) or link to a tweet which then links to bbc.com again. Currently we can only flag and point to the submission with the most traction/upvotes/comments, usually the one that made it to the frontpage first. With an Apple event that leads to a race who can post a URL first (sometimes guessing, thus before the URL exists, or before the URL is availble in parts of the world). I've seen the moderators can merge threads, they can also change the URL of a submission if a better source is available. Maybe users could marks stories as "essentially the same as".

I quite like reddit's meta threads. A threads like "Apple September event" that stays in top position and is created before the event. But reddit is better with long comment threads (500+ comments) and sorting by time, not votes. I'm sure it would be a major project and lead to more moderation work.

Users can hide submissions. Sometimes I wish I could hide users or domains, too.
A function that measures the distance between two different classes of 'things' (distribution and point, in this case) is necessarily not a distance metric. It trivially fails to satisfy the triangle inequality, because at least one of d(x,y), d(x,z), d(y,z) will be undefined--no matter how you choose x, y, z you'll end up either trying to measure the distance between two points or the distance between two distributions, neither of which can be handled.

This is not a red herring, it's a fundamental issue.
I enjoyed the article, but I disagree. Back in the day, the Getting Things Done book said to organise tasks by energy level. That does make things easier; however, easy to procrastinate by saying I'll do it later when I have energy.

I have taken to the more disciplined, priortized approach pushed by the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger/Jocko Willink/David Goggins... the items that are a priorty or important get done first. Hammer through the first 2-4 hours, then you can have flexibility in the rest of the day. Even if you're not feeling it, go through the motions, make it a habit to make it easier.
Giving the facile psyche of the day (or, for that matter, 2016 as well) and the need for facile denunciation of anything that doesn't share the ideology of the day, I knew who the comic writer would be before I opened the page. Opened it anyway to verify and wasn't dissapointed.
There used to be a sort of IQ test to use the Internet. If you didn't have the technical skill and knowledge, you couldn't participate. That's all changed. Now using the Internet requires about as much skill as scribbling on the bathroom stall with a sharpie.
I'm not certain I know what you mean, but it doesn't seem to work. If you mean to take epsilon neighborhoods in Euclidean norm of the axes, then I'm skeptical that that contains most of the mass of the sphere, since simulating random points on a thousand dimensional sphere doesn't seem to give points near these axes.

If instead you mean most of the mass of the ball is in the points which have all but one coordinate within epsilon of zero, then the intuition doesn't follow. It's equally true that you get most of the mass considering just points with all coordinates within epsilon. And for that you get that the mass of the ball is concentrated in an epsilon cube at the origin, which excludes exactly the spikes that you were basing the intuition on. The weird thing in this thought experiment is the epsilon cube not the sphere. For example the epsilon cube contains points much further than epsilon from the origin and so it's maybe not surprising that it contains most of the sphere.
Ya, isn’t that what supply not keeping up with demand (in the form of money that can be applied to said demand). Everyone can’t afford to rent an apartment f there isn’t enough apartments to rent. People will use their buying power to prevent being the ones left without, while landlords will benefit from bidding wars by being able to raise prices. That works in Seattle or austin even if it doesn’t work in Detroit or Shreveport.
Is it ever possible to say definitively if one food tastes better than another?
I have done it deliberately, because it really wasn't ;) The original comment (29952729) was clearly about some religious people not being capable of understanding that one's life doesn't have to be founded on religion. Then the reply that I replied to muddied the waters by adding people who religiously believe that there are no gods into the mix, which may still fit the definition of "atheism" (even though it isn't what "atheism" actually means), but it wasn't what the original poster was talking about at all.
There's really not much out there, because the chemistry of instant film is very difficult and without the film, there are no cameras. Fuji's only real competitor is The Impossible Project, now known as Polaroid, having bought the name. Their cameras are very nice, but their film is more expensive and technically inferior (though not necessarily aesthetically inferior, depending on your goals.) You can also buy film from them that is compatible with classic Polaroid cameras.
That's not what I said, but I could have spelled it out. Maybe I should have said...

Most Scandinavians I know are direct, and out of all the Nordic people, the Finns are direct ++.

I’m not surprised that people perceive the US to struggle with racial equality when it (a) has indeed struggled with racial equality since founding and through civil war and (b) airs its dirty laundry pretty openly.

Did you revise your opinion of the Miller's entire oeuvre after Holy Terror? That's what happened to me with Dave Sim and Cerebus at some point; like, you see the previous work in a previous light, and it doesn't work anymore. It's like that episode of The Office where Brian Baumgartner sells James Spader on "the oatmeal raisin cookie idea" in a meeting, only to realize after later hearing about "the Big Mac idea" that "it was always just cookies. ...".

That's I think one of the big critical narratives about Miller --- it was always just cookies.
