There's a story out there by Cory Doctorow about self driving cars. Car Wars - https://craphound.com/news/2016/11/23/car-wars-a-dystopian-s...

Its no longer accessible on the site... but you can find it on wayback. https://web.archive.org/web/20190225032830/https://this.deak... (though the formatting in the twitter feed like section is a bit weird)

The part that is most applicable to this begins at "But it was more complicated than just biased data".
>I honestly though Magic Leap wasn't even around anymore. Last news I heard about them was they burned through $billions, their product woefully (almost fraudulently) failed to meet any of the hype they set out, they sold a handful of units, and then the company folded. How on earth are they still in business?

AR/VR in general has hit the "slope of enlightenment" portion of the hype cycle [0]. Talented people are still diligently working on this stuff behind the scenes and advancing the state of the art, even though mainstream adoption has a ways to go.

Google Maps did the same thing in its latest update. There's an undismissable modal that asks you to "enable Google location service to continue" which I very explicitly have off. They make it feel like a technical requirement; if you tap "no thanks" it cancels your nav.

Meanwhile the whole thing is obviously a charade because voice guidance and the GPS enabled map are happily running behind the modal!

What features does that impact?
The parent post contains a scenario where a bank has 1 T out in loans. If they make 50b (5%) in profit, they can withstand 4% of those loans going default. If profit goes up, and they can have more go default, and, get this, they charge more interest on loans more likely to go into default to cover this. They may even look at historical rates of insolvency and make sure they charge interest so that they make enough profit to cover any losses.

Certainly this can go sideways when they don't understand the risk in one type of loan, like 2007-2008, but most of the time, they can figure this out.

It is a generally accepted principle that one should only seek the aid of the state with clean hands. Don't come to me looking for mercy or relief when you've thrown that out the window for everyone else. They already got theirs.

The State is there not to serve as a tool for those people against those that seek not to expoit it, but in part to protect those who don't from those who will.
There’s like 10 different things in your post, how exactly you suggest we automate all that stuff? Usually that ends up being bash possibly with some hcl/cf/ansible mixed in (not a whole lot better).

> The overwhelmingly more likely (but incompatible with field political dogma) explanation is that income is most strongly mediated by intelligence, which is mostly genetically heritable. This is why people tend to have similar incomes to their parents.

This can't explain the whole effect, because:

- The effect of parental income on later income remains even after controlling with standardized test scores.

- Further, parental income seems to increase child IQ a little bit, even after controlling for parental IQ scores.
Why not just put up a head tracking 3DTV at that point? Only caveat is it'll look like a window to VR rather than an overlay to real world, but from psychological standpoint it might favorably communicates that the local and remote is physically separate with a substance inbetween.
Did you get to try the Avegant prototype? It sounds quite promising.
Largely because of myths surrounding it, for example parenthesis syntax and lack of editor support. With paredit, you get meta level direct AST manipulation support in emacs that is still light years ahead of any programming IDE out there. I think the other fear factor is you have to think a lot more about how to approach the problem when writing Common Lisp and it requires a more complete engineer due to a smaller library ecosystem. Usually there is one and sometimes two libraries for doing X and if not you’re up for making a library yourself.

I’m attaching an example of how quickly you can write TLS 1.3 by a single person in Common Lisp. At the time I wrote this library most websites still struggled with TLS 1.3 support. The point is that most software creators don’t have the breath and depth of knowledge required to be proficient in LISP if they only posses siloed domain knowledge.

Couldn't you start of with a larger (meter wide) lens and focusing mechanism, so that it narrows down at the target? Then you aren't heating up most of the air between. Also what about high output short pulsed lasers? Couldn't you get much higher output for a brief enough duration that it wouldn't heat up the air?
That doesn't matter for industrial applications though.
I never have issues with Bluetooth on my macs, but have endless hassles on windows. I thought it was kind of funny that all Logitech wireless stuff these days has a dongle, except those advertised as "for mac." Those have normal bluetooth.
Also it's not just to get through hard times. Some people have a high baseline level of anxiety especially in social situations. A small amount of alcohol can help bring out their personality vs. just standing in the corner.

For these types of people as well, it's not that they don't have a personality, it's that they suppress their personality in stressful social situations.

To quote the article though:

> Harvey Norman repaid all the wage subsidies for its “controlled entities”

The businesses that were claiming the cash were the franchisees of Harvey Norman. Not the publicly listed company (and it's owned subsidiaries). It could well be that those franchisees were indeed justified in claiming the Jobkeeper subsidies.

I love picking on Gerry Harvey/Harvey Norman us much as the next guy, but this time it is unwarented. Pick on the plenty of other ASX (publicly) listed companies that used the money, didn't repay, and still dished out dividends to their shareholders.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/dec/07/less-...

For example, Premier Investments (ASX: PMV) received $87m over two years, paid back $15.6m. In that period, they paid out $1.04 per share of dividends! They have as of writing 158.99M shares outstanding, so why did Just Jeans, Smiggle and Jay Jays need Jobkeeper? All that cash went straight to the shareholders pockets.
If you really wanted to make this argument, you wouldn’t even want to bother inferring depth, since that’s not what humans do, not directly at least. If you’re actually trying to obtain a depth map as part of your pipeline, LIDAR (or LiDAR + vision feeding into a denser depth prediction model) would always be a better strategy, cost aside, since determining depth from images is an ill posed problem.
Very dumb question: If mmWave is operating at 60GHz, how would it be possible for processors (which are operating at less than 1/10th of that clock rate) to process that sampling rate?

Context and consensus is that "elimination of Israel" was obviously not purely as a political entity. Leaders of the PLO have plainly called for the elimination of the Jews, as previous source and following outlines.

I'm no fan of ethnic theocracies either, and it turns out Israel is the only nation that isn't one in the middle east.

This wouldn't be efficient in my case. I'm testing a frontend that's served on localhost:80 and connects to a local backend also on localhost:80 that makes DB calls to some remote database on 3306. I'd have to modify the backend code to connect through the proxy port every time I wanted to test it. As it is the backend code on my computer is a mirror of the production environment. Normally if I tunnel I have it set up to forward everything through the tunnel except localhost.

...This may sadly be a refreshing change in my book. I think I might be able to handle face saving and climbing the ladder and being repetitive about it. I've honestly gotten kind of used to that.

I'm much more tolerant of the straightforward "Yes, because..." than the American "but I can't".

One is still potentially a productive conversation, the other is a platitude, and exhausting. I will take that into advisement however.

What I was talking about was largely doesn’t apply to the Autopilot legacy stack currently deployed to most Tesla cars.

Personally I wish Tesla would spend a couple of months cleaning up their current beta stack and deploying it specifically for AEB. But I don’t know if that’s even feasible without affecting the legacy stack.

I used to just DDOS people’s AIM and messengers if they crossed me, as a phantom curse attached to them and they had no idea the cause.

I would chat with them as normal at the same time, chuckling to myself as they kept falling offline following a barrage of emoticons and requests from my army of chat bots that made their process run out of memory.

Eventually I’d bore of it. Or have one of the chatbots tell them not to cross someone again. In your scenario I probably would have said it was the person he got the exploit from, instead of making a link to someone I care about.

I found the intro a little confusing, but I think his conclusion is really strong and apt:

I am not writing this piece to advocate for the protest and its participants. I am writing this piece to ask Canadians like me whether we want our future protests to be judged and covered by standards applied to the truckers today. I am asking us to think about what happens to the horizon of possibility for mass organizing when we throw in with the idea that actual, authentic grassroots protests are a thing of the past and the only legitimate public demonstration is one choreographed from above, its participants carefully disciplined into reading from an identical script or into silence.

We should also think about the Proud Boys and Sons of Odin who have gone to the rally to radicalize its participants. The on-the-ground experience of regular folks participating will be of being called Nazis, traitors, Klansmen, bigots, etc. Not only will this place greater distance between the participants and urban Canadian society; it will make them look less unfavourably on others who are called Nazis and Klansmen. How bad could those guys really be, they will ask themselves? Were they also smeared as part of a bum rap by shills for the pharmaceutical industry?

They will wonder if those folks also came to be known as these things the way they did. As a person who, because I dissented from the progressive consensus on a single issue, has been smeared as a transphobe, homophobe, pedophile, white supremacist, racist and ableist in the past year and a half, I can no longer simply accept the opinion of centre-left media on whether someone is a dangerous, bigoted member of the alt-right. I can no longer trust the government-financed Canadian Anti-Hate Network on whether someone is a dangerous hatemonger because many of my comrades and I are on their list. And not everyone is going to be like me and check those claims against the facts. Most people will just start ignoring those claims.

There is a high price to pay when you decide to cry “wolf” over fascism in a political situation like our own, where the authoritarian threat is real and society-wide.

> I think the issue wasn't the registration but that it always felt kludgy to do it.

That, exactly. The registry was almost human readable until it became completely overrun with COM registrations. It needed a less kludgy way of doing it.
I know it starts like a shallow dismissal, but mentioning that code uses another DNS package as a dependency (miekg/dns) has a point. I originally missed that, and I believe many probably too.

I don't think author can claim "in 80 lines of code" when the code depends on a much bigger library than itself.
Yes, but only under optimal conditions.
Because the software running in release mode is a much, much older legacy stack. (Do we know if the vehicle being tested was equipped with radar or vision only?)
Honestly? Because anyone with a strong back can make food but it takes time and education of some sore to make software.

The same could be said with medicine. Everyone needs medicine as much as food but one makes significantly more money.
Because you need to find those 10 lisp programmers. The ratio of mediocre Java to good lisp programmers is probably more than 100:1. With only 10 specialists, attrition can become a problem quickly. It's a different optimization.

Amazon and Microsoft uses AWS and Azure themselves. Google doesn't use GCP, the service you buy is not the service Google engineers use internally.

How about simply stating that any firm paying dividends to shareholders or bonuses to execs could not have the loan forgiven? It wouldn't be perfect but it'd cut out the most egregious snakes. Hindsight yadda yadda.

The same thing happened in Australia. Cash to businesses who could show an impact by Covid, but a lot of that money went towards bonuses and dividends. Crazy.

The primary requirement on any accounting is to explain why the streaks run parallel and equidistant.

One could imagine black holes forming far out in the accretion disk of a supermassive black hole, with the matter already organized by the central mass. That would seem to demand a collection of coplanar accretion discs around the baby holes (which could themselves be quite large), and the holes themselves in that plane. (But we still need to explain their regular spacing.)

Maybe that would also help explain how the "impossible"-mass holes seen by LIGO form?
I keep trying to have a use case for eBPF within non kubernetes infra and haven't a good need so far.

I hadn't really thought about this before, but your comment made me realize the costs that used to be associated with spam calls in the past.

Monetary or social costs were both asymmetrically in favor of the receiver because a long-distance call was expensive and a local spam call would eventually incur a high social cost (either in the innocent case of teenage prank calls being figured out by parents or the less innocent cases where the police or phone company might need to trace the source).
I would argue that a supernormal stimulus should be avoided at all costs. It messes with your reward system too much.
