It's unpredictable enough that it should be considered just "limited driver assist". Only a fool would look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ub2F-UnXIU and go "yeah, that's full self-driving, all right." Slapping a "beta" label on it means nothing - you could be talking about how Gmail was in beta, or you could be talking about Fallout 76.

Tesla's marketing is extremely disingenuous, IMO. The name of your product creates expectations in peoples' minds, and sure, you can absolve yourself of liability by putting in the fine print "this isn't anywhere close to true FSD and your car might not be powerful enough to support it by the time we get there, so you gotta keep your hands on the wheel," but that doesn't make it right.

If they called it "advanced driver assist" or something similar, I'd be fine with it (it is more advanced than traditional driver assistance tools like cruise control and lane departure warnings, after all). But I doubt they could get people to pay $10k or whatever the current price is if they were more honest. Instead, they would prefer to earn more money by slapping that FSD label on it and letting people immediately turn their brains off.
Why I’m for Covid vaccines, but against vaccine mandates – Dr. Peter Attia
Sorry, maybe I worded my comment poorly. I'm not trying to say "why are you talking about Ethereum and not Bitcoin instead?", or something like that.

Here, it's a tiny bit like trying to link NFTs to racism because there's a certain subset of cryptocurrency enthusiasts who are Nazis. (And some do say this.) Not the best analogy, I know, but in this case Ethereum is commonly thought of as environmentally unfriendly basically due to guilt by association with Bitcoin.

Ethereum does have an excessive environmental impact, because proof of work is fundamentally environmentally unfriendly. But the point is it isn't a very big impact right now and probably won't ever be an impact because before it can reach that point there'll probably be a shift to an algorithm that reduces the energy cost to that of any other ordinary software. And even if it did pose such an impact right now, NFTs pose no direct marginal energy cost (though they do so indirectly by encouraging more use of the network, which raises the incentive to mine).

In my opinion, there are so many other good arguments against (most/nearly all) NFTs that when you pull this one out, it instantly causes the opposition to flag you as someone not worth listening to. Especially when it's couched in dramatic language, like that NFTs are "burning so much coal, causing cancer, and destroying the environment", as the previous commenter wrote.

Congrats on your re-launch - nice work!

At Openbase.com we're building the star count charts by using the GitHub GraphQL API (as we use it for other things like collecting stats about commits, issues and PRs).

Looking at how star-history works, seems like you opted for using the GitHub REST API - what are the upsides / downsides of using the REST API?
This is more or less the case in many European countries. Less so here in the UK, but approaching there rather quickly due to astoundingly poor management by various successive governments. It’s tough back in South Africa as well, and they pay their doctors extraordinarily well.
All the examples I can think of didn't actually start a new industry.

They did get in early on a new industry, but they didn't start it even if they ended up defining it.
The question is not whether it’s broken or a bad experience. Clearly it is. But software engineers KS stuff like that all the time. The question is: is the cost-benefit worth spending extremely limited resources to address? It is not hateful or dismissive to ask that question.

I mean, the opposite is also true, isn't it? If Google's search ad revenue was going down while YouTube ad revenue was going up, I feel like Google would want to keep that a secret so that people don't realize that search ads are shrinking in relevance.

Basically, I don't see that Google has any incentive to break out its profits by line of business unless someone forces them to. They're better off if you just look at a black box of ad revenue and say "yeah it's all profitable, so ads are as strong as ever."

It's less that it isn't objective but more that it's relative.

As I mentioned in my original comment once you start throwing around the expression "low-level language" or "systems language" you invite comparisons to C/C++/Rust.

Thus you will end up with a list of points like this:

It makes less efficient use of hardware due to poor vectorization and lack of JIT to take advantage of this information which would be apparent at runtime. Namely escape analysis would be particularly good. I imagine that Go on Graal would be a very very fast language if time was invested there.

Also until recently generics weren't a thing so it made it impossible to do -high performance- generic data-structures without code-gen. They were possible, but slow as balls due to interface{} and reflection.

It's garbage collector is mediocre for latency, nothing impressive. But it's straight dog shit for throughput. Definitely not -fast- compared to JVM/Hotspot/ZGC.

So, on the good side of Go it provides easy/good access to primitive types and primitive arrays of said types so as long as you know what you are doing you can generally massage the compiler into doing something not completely stupid.

That said if I want to write really fast code in something that isn't C/C++/Rust I would much prefer Java or C#... or more logically if FAST is the primary concern then I would probably pick C++ or Rust.

RE concept of cognitive load in education, I recently read an interesting review paper Cognitive load theory, educational research, and instructional design: some food for thought by Ton de Jong[1] that did a good job at criticizing the idea as unfalsifiable. By defining three types of cognitive load intrinsic (unavoidable), extrinsic (bad), and germane (learning), it becomes easy to relabel things at will and reach any conclusion. If an education experience is good, then it must be because the cognitive load experienced was germane, if the experience was bad, then it must have had too much extrinsic load.

So it's a nice idea/concept, but difficult to study scientifically.

Every single airline they ingest probably has a phone book sized list of special cases and edge conditions that are distinct and unique. Multiply that by every airline on the platform and every consumer of the dataset and yeah… it’s incredibly complex.

> Here is the ACLU statement in opposition the SCOTUS rulings that the new york ban on church gatherings was unconstitutional

If I'm remembering correctly, the ACLU statement here is correct. Religious gatherings were given more leeway than other large gatherings. While obviously the 1a is important, I generally agree with the ACLU that the courts approach to religion is a bit ridiculous in terms of how much deference particularly Christianity gets. Ones religion shouldn't result in getting special treatment under the law, either bad or good.

> example, in CA the governor claimed to have the power to bar healthy people leaving their house and visiting the private homes of their lovers, friends, and family.

No he didn't. (Or at least not in any way that came with threat of government force. If I'm wrong here you should be able to find someone who faced a fine for having a party on their home).
Shameless plug: Python 3.11 comes out this October and is slated to be 10-20% faster, but Pyston is already available and is 30% faster. We do the things that are listed in this pdf, but also additional things that will probably never make it into mainline Python (such as adding a JIT)

> It seems obvious that for the most part people kill people, and that guns make that easier/worse. Why belabor that point?

Because it’s disingenuous to say “guns don’t kill people” if they increase death rate by a factor of 100x. Your rock throwing example killed two people over a span of months. Guns sadly kill dozens in minutes pretty regularly.

Interestingly very few of the people claiming “guns don’t kill people” think we should allow private ownership of atomic weapons, even though the same logic applies.
I think the point is that you still basically don't have a chance of investing in one of these outliers, so instead of going broke over time because you're playing the wrong game, you go broke over time because you just lose.

This is not true. Pre-verbal animals like wolves know the difference between rabbit in hole and rabbit not in hole. Raining and not raining. Pack and not pack. Food and not food.

In coyotes, it is the absence of pack members in communal howling that triggers hyper-fertility.

In arboreal primates, they tend to have three threat vocalizations (air, tree, ground) and one "no threat" modality.

I don't think it's nearly as clear as you're suggesting. There is even evidence of the use of mathematical 0 in animal cognition and communication.

Formal verbal communication seems more a matter of physical capability than cognitive capacity. Giving animals the ability to speak with sign language (Koko the gorilla, RIP) or buttons (like Bunny the talking dog) has shown that animal cognition isn't nearly as distinct from human cognition as has been thought.

What makes humans special is sophisticated verbalization, opposable thumbs, and being the ultimate endurance/persistence predator.

> Where do you think this obsession comes from?

American action movies? Call of Duty?

My money would be on a lack of social cohesion, where people tend to not care much about their neighbors or society as a whole. Guns aren't themselves the problem, they just highlight the disease at the core of american culture.

Other countries have more history and culture and religion that bind them together. Being a young country of immigrants the US doesn't have those qualities.

If you don't feel part of the wider culture then you don't care about those people.
USA has an extremely inefficient system of training for doctors which wastes literally years of human potential. First you go to university from 18-22 but not even 2/3rds of the year. The rest of the year is some level of waste for most students. You often purposefully dumb down and study less rigorous subjects than an engineer because you need all top grades to be get into medical school and can't risk it. Then medical school is an excessively long four years which has further periods of time waste and a lack of integral training until late in the process. Then there is a highly unfocused three year residency with what are widely understood as illegal discriminatory labor requirements holding on to their anachronistic 1910 white-male origins by a proverbial thread. So at age 29 you can finally be a GP after many unnecessary years of wasteful, repetitive, unfocused study, vacations and debt. This exclusivity and opportunity hoarding results in a reasonably high skill at a very very unnecessary level of cost and personnel shortages.

The math on Apple, AWS, Microsoft, and Facebook are not that easy. They are now multi-LOB of companies, with significant revenue coming in from BU's created and run by people who aren't the original founders.

Ex: AWS appears to be Andy Jassy, who was probably 30 or 40. Similar and probably even "older" stories for GCP (Google) & Azure (MS). Their supporting "co-founders" may be even older, like Werner Vogels (63).
Charging members (in karma) to post could work, but 1 karma wouldn't do it. Try 100.
> 1) You should focus on Atlanta or Brookhaven where this happened. Not New York City. Is Brookhaven having the same lack of enforcement, (...)

Yes, Atlanta very much joined the "defund the police" bandwagon, with the Mayor calling for it, and saying that they are already "ahead of the curve on"[1]. When the totally predictable crime surge happened as a result, the city (unlike, sadly, many activists, understood the idea of cause and effect, and reversed the policy[2]. As it turns out, people actually affected by crime do want more police presence, and more law enforcement.

> or did someone just randomly shoot a gun because thats something anybody can do?

People "randomly shooting a gun" is not the reason people get shot in cities. It happens because some people are purposefully, not randomly, shooting at other people, and in the process, those people, and also bystanders, get shot. These people consciously decide to commit heinous crime, and comments like above reduce their agency to minimize their responsibility.

> The Broken Windows theory has been debunked over and over again.

And you can say it again here, but it will not make it any more true.

> The reduction in crime during that time period has been attributed to the waning of the crack epidemic, reduction in lead poisoning, and even simply mean reversion.

At exactly the same time, the country as a whole became much more serious about fighting crime, culminating in the Biden Crime Law of 1994. Why exactly did the crack epidemic wane, pray tell? I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with removal and jailing of drug dealers and users, so what did it? And how is "mean reversion" even supposed to work as explanatory mechanism? Without fancy terminology, it equates to saying "it went down because things often go down after being up", which is completely useless as an explanation.

I didn't claim Jax can accelerate Django, it all depends. A lot of our Python code is/was running partly in cpython and partly in extension modules such as Numpy.

There are many ways to achieve faster Python execution. One is a faster cpython implementation, another is moving cpu intensive parts of the code to extension modules (such as Numpy). Yet another is to jit compile Python (and Numpy) code to run on accelerators.

Some of it has to do with ‘does this brand stand for something?’

Death Row Records stands for something but Sony doesn’t. (Unless it some strange force that, speaking of emotion, drains all the emotion of the music, plus a I’ll fated fascination with inventing strange media formats like the mini disc, memory sticks, the PSP disc, …)

Contrast that to Disney+ because everybody knows what Disney stands for. Joining Disney+ probably makes you more likely to see Disney movies at the theater, go to Disney parks, etc.
It’s because of gun culture in the US.

Python is just too dynamic, and users do make use of it. There are JavaScript constructs that JITs give up upon, such as “with” - and this has steered JS programmers to avoid those constructs.

Unfortunately, there is no Python subset people can stick to as such. But you can use e.g. TransCrypt to compile Python to JavaScript; the docs tell you about an efficient subset. It should be possible to build an efficient Python JIT for such a subset (and you sort of have one already through TransCrypt and JS)

Kicking ass is one thing, clearly it's an expensive hobby to following through the chipmaking history. The dedication is impressive, but, as long as his hobby doesn't affect the current paradigm, he's not kicking ass, but just a micro-celebrity on YT with expensive hobby + flexing.

Note that I wrote this comment, because I just don't like blind positivity. Money is really a problem. There were people who talked about home-made chips for a long time, but the no.1 issue had always been money. Optics and lithography is nothing new, and it just takes a lot of time, effort, and tons of money (+ opportunity cost) to find the right recipe that is reproducible.
I have personally become quite tired of "staff" engineers at my company. They get paid a lot but not only do they not actually code or fix bugs - they don't even make good design decisions or good calls. They are absent when needed, can't drive projects to completion and punt tough calls over to senior engineers who actually understand the system.

The only reason said senior engineers are not staffs because the staff engineers have been gatekeeping to maintain an aura of selectivity.

No wonder people end up quitting so often.

I'm not sure how to reconcile your choice to downplay deterrents with a claim that regulation is the way forward. Regulation without disincentives is meaningless, isn't it?

To my mind, the US has a violence problem and guns much more so than a gun violence problem.

Focusing specifically on murder by guns, California and Texas, who are largely similar in murder rates are also largely similar in murder-by-gun rates despite having regulatory environments that are about as far apart as you can get in the United States. I'm not taking a position here, and I understand there might be compounding factors (like both states being border states); but it does make me wonder if what has been effective in other cultures will be effective in the United States.

I think your points about reducing poverty and providing for education are on point. Generally speaking, states that I consider "poor" states and regions within states that are generally depressed seem to have higher gun-murder rates. They also seem to have generally more violence. These are things we should focus on anyway (and would probably also help with gun-suicide and gun-related accidents).

In the US, I think both sides in this argument are generally disingenuous. Speaking very broadly... Gun control advocates manipulate statistics and call any death by gun "gun violence" as if there is no distinction between a suicide victim and a murderer. They also don't separate out legal versus illegal gun access in the use of gun murder, which I think is meaningful if you're talking about adding more laws/regulations. Some are at least honest enough to state they want to restrict all private gun ownership. Again, broadly speaking, they push laws that are about restricting legitimate gun ownership rather than promoting responsible gun ownership. On the flip side, gun control opponents oppose any change in law and while they acknowledge that there are differences in types of gun-related deaths, they aren't any more nuanced in their views about it and generally don't seem to acknowledge that non-murder gun deaths are also a problem we need to work on.

I'd much rather see everyone gather around responsible gun ownership for those that want it. (And I do think that more severe punishment would be useful in reducing accidents and maybe suicides, even though I think it wouldn't do anything for murders.)

This has turned into a bit of a ramble I suppose, but I'm just generally wondering what you think the path forward should be, why you think such a path would work in the United States specifically, and how regulations work if deterrents don't work.
Thx. That helps a lot. I agree re-contextualizing and smooth-starting each section in a textbook seems like a very good idea. This will probably make the textbook more amenable to "random access" learning too.
