Look at the orders of magnitudes differences in casualties in desert storm, iraq, and afghanistan. When Americans battle they ensure they have a massive power advantage for every fight and this is abundantly clear just from the casualty data. Even if the other side engages first like in desert storm, Americans ensure that they don't land boots unless they have a tactical advantage which they had in Desert Storm thanks to technology that Saddam and his army, which was one of the largest and experienced land forces in the world at the time, could not begin to compete with.
We should mail a copy of the owners manual to Elon Musk then because just a few days ago he, for about the fourth time, announced that he would be shocked if "Tesla does not achieve Full Self-Driving that is safer than human drivers this year (and 5 years ahead of everyone)".

Maybe we have different definitions of FSD and being safer than a human but to me that includes obeying the speed limits and stop signs

In the core repos, those 40 lines still exist. The AUR and core repos use the same PKGBUILD scripts. So the shell script isn’t a difference between core and AUR packages.

As for the security review, I’d agree that no maintainer is verifying the code in every update of the software they’re packaging. This doesn’t mean that, as implied in the comment I replied to, you only have to review the 40 lines. It means that you’re accepting risk or accepting workload in either case (or both!), depending on how deep you look into the supply chain.
The Frameworks are really good. However, the chips inside are disappointing, IMO.

I was considering the i5 1135g7 Framework with 16gb of RAM. A friend of mine bought it, and it's idle power draw is of 8-9W with Gnome 3 and Firefox open.

I decided to get a laptop with a 5800H and an RTX 3070 instead. My power consumption as I'm typing this comment right now is of 7W with a dozen tabs and an IDE, messaging, etc... open. That is despite a 46% larger screen, and a much faster, unlocked TDP, 8 core CPU.

That's a real shame, IMO. Combined with a 55Wh battery, it's quite problematic, and was a deal-breaker for me.

I obtained a PhD in {astrophysics, theoretical physics, quantum physics, computational physics} a few years ago. Choose one of these keywords: Which one is most catchy? I second you, astrophysics just sounds cool in most cases, whereas quantum physics is obviously much of an advantage if you talk to quantum computing (and AI) people.

The bottom line is: In this kind of science, you are used to "big data", to massively parallel computing, to computation and statistics on various levels of abstraction. But the engineering skills outcome greatly vary, because from the physics perspective, computers are just a tool for getting the job done.

For instance, big data in astrophysics is quite different from big data in accounting. Complexity in astrophysics programming is also very different from complexity in the banking buisness. People tend to get arrogant due to their years-long experience, but in the end all they have is just years-long experience in that particular domain, let it be buisness or physics.

No thanks. Most cold callers these days don't even work for the company. They always seem to say "I'm recruiting for an esteemed/up and coming/potential unicorn (lol)/hot/aggressively funded/blah blah blah company". I've bitten a few times and asked for details about said company and they say they want a call first.

No thanks. Tell me about the position first. Then I'll tell you if I'm interested.

NFS has its own issues, such as not being authenticated. SMB does support credentials and TLS for access.
Nope! I absolutely lied!

Decided to actually time it.

It's 10 seconds from power button to grub bootloader, then 12 seconds from bootloader to login screen.

I decided to run the same test coming out of S3, and it takes 14 seconds on my macine to go from power button to login screen.

So waking from hibernation is roughly 8 seconds slower, or approximately the time it takes to get to grub.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

Yeah. I made Piano Gym because I've seen several solutions for Piano/Music Theory and at the end of the day I really think having people create curriculums and setting progression while managing it is the best approach for intentional practice between autodidacts/teachers/learners.

One of the cool things is that we have a flash card creation tool that will automatically chop a piece of sheet music into flash cards of 1/2/3/n measures at a time so that you can make flash card sets to deliberately practice sections of a song. It's really cool! I'm still on the fence of how to leverage this effectively for learners, but I've been thinking about the idea of making 1 measure flash card sets, 2 measure, 3 measure, and then the full piece. In many ways I can do anything with Piano Gym and that's the problem for me now

I'm not sure I see the point in saying that a particular comment should or should not be hosted at a particular place. What is the actual win?

Without canonical names/homes for data, much of this dream feels out of reach. And with it, we are just back to citing data in a textual way. That is, we have it already.

And the canonical step is hampered by the cost of storing information. Publications largely push this to archival services. But nobody is going to want to archive every random page. Especially for the comments, which are often mutable.

I similarly don't see the advantage of requiring so much semantic marking of textual data. Indeed, I'd go so far as to say that grammar is largely superfluous. Exceedingly so if you are into the esoteric rules of the game. Certainly structure is advantageous, but most structure is inferred. And anything that slows the publishing of data is likely as not to just cause it to get lost.
What is the name for the fallacy of thinking that wars are always meant to be won? Throughout history wars have been fought without any intention of "winning". Sometimes a war can serve a religious or ceremonial purpose, one that doesn't require a clear winner. Other wars have been fought for completely economic reasons. Others are proxy contests whereby greater powers can demonstrate their abilities without directly engaging each other. The false thinking is the assumption that participants always want or even care about winning.

> Where does Tesla provide a list of such limitations for it's customers,

One specific place is first sentence of the FSD Beta welcome email:

"Full Self-Driving is in limited early access Beta and must be used with additional caution. It may do the wrong thing at the worst time, so you must always keep your hands on the wheel and pay extra attention to the road. Do not become complacent."

That's been my experience with it. Right now, the beta doesn't reduce my workload, it increases it. When I want to "just drive", I turn the beta off.

That said, Tesla can and should do more. They need to better frame the capabilities of the system, staring with the silly marketing names.
But they never said it was an issue. I don’t understand how you got that it was.

That's not correct. See the first paragraphs of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation

---

Cultural appropriation is the inappropriate or unacknowledged adoption ...

cultural appropriation differs from acculturation, assimilation, or equal cultural exchange ...

the concept is often misunderstood or misapplied by the general public, and that charges of "cultural appropriation" are at times misapplied to situations such as trying food from a different culture or learning about different cultures

At least in the UK, one of the most prolific serial rapists was a licensed taxi driver (not even an Uber driver (who get a lot of stick about not being as safe as "real" taxis) - but a licensed and supposedly-vetted London black taxi driver). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Worboys

So I guess safety is a major plus based on that.
No. It's literal. And I don't mind eating a few downvotes for saying so; it's a fact.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/11/virginia-school-boar...
Eventually I think it will reach a point where it’s safer too. The car doesn’t get tired, meanwhile I’ve had plenty of taxi/uber rides where the driver has been driving long, long hours.
I agree. The problem isn't just cherry-picked truths either. It is the use of non-sequitur arguments by "fact-checkers" like Politifact, WT.Social, Snopes, etc. to draw false conclusions from various things that are indeed true.

For example, WT.Social had a big list of accomplishments that "the right" claimed Trump had done while in office. The entire point of the list, put up by one of the employees at WT.Social, was to crowd-source arguments they could use to claim each of the items on this list was either false or mostly false. One of the items, I remember, was regarding Trump giving money to HBCUs. Trump definitely did provide them the funding. That fact is well-documented and easy to confirm; however, WT.Social marked it as "false" because, "Obama gave HBCUs a lot of money too, but the media didn't cover it as much."

Trump did give a lot of funding to HCBUs and so did Obama, but let's say the media covered Trump in 100 articles and only covered Obama in 1. The only logical conclusion that can be drawn from that scenario is that the media didn't cover Obama's funding as much. It does nothing to negate Trump's funding, as WT.Social was trying to claim. Their entire conclusion was false.

This same sort of illogical nonsense is used by fact-checkers all the time and it is extremely annoying. I want facts, not opinion/propaganda, but they're hard to get nowadays. What's worse is that you see these types of arguments being parroted back on social media platforms by consumers of such propaganda too. It's a problem on both sides of the political fence and is causing a huge division in America (and elsewhere) that doesn't need to exist.
realistically everywhere on I-5 between Seattle and the border, people do +5 over, and often 10 over. I'd wager it's near impossible to get pulled over for doing 65 in the 60 zone north of Seattle, and when the speed limit changes to 70, for doing 75 in the 70 zone on cruise control.

Usually when I have cruise control set to exactly 75 and I'm in the right lane, I'm very often passed by people who are probably doing 80 to 82 mph.
Plenty more should be said.

It's a bad law that endangers people and should be changed. Going an unsafe speed is another law, and its entirely possible that there is no speed that does not violate one of those laws. The law is a relic of when cars were less safe, and the same safety can be achieved with much higher speeds.

Depends on your definition of primary and secondary effects. I count future efficacy as a primary effect, wouldn't you? Do we know what vaccine efficacy will be in 2 years? Answer: No, exhibit: Omicron. Most drugs don't have to fight a moving target.
Is This Replacement for JPEG Going to Cause Controversy? (2020)
The Omicron variant of COVID-19 is the most infectious disease known to mankind. In mid-December, with caseloads similar to now, the asymptomatic positivity rate was around 15%, so you can roughly put the chances of your driver being infected with COVID-19 at around 15%. So, right now, I'd feel safer in a driverless cab. (Of course, that calculus changes as the number of cases changes, which is right now happening rapidly.)
IIRC that's actually how a lot of academics in cultural studies, history, etc, used the term "appropriation" until the nineties or so, when the more disparaging usage seems to have won out.
Yes, of course, the 40 lines still exist for the core repos, but the maintainers are presumably trusted.

I agree with the rest, I'm really talking more about the comparative risk from AUR compared to the repos. The real danger is that someone snuck something malicious in the PKGBUILD and that no one noticed yet. Other than that, the threat is the same as using the repos, assuming you trust the maintainers, which is IMO a reasonable assumption if you're already using it as your distro.
What resistance was against it?
I got my current job through an internal company recruiter. He's the best I've ever seen in this business -- the introduction was extremely well targeted, the process was very low-pressure, and he's measured on the long-term success of the people he brings in.

He spent time explaining the role, the skills, and the goals, and offered feedback throughout the process.

I just thought: maybe I don't care because my first language is German and there "sie" means "they" while the formal version of "you" is "Sie".

So if you ask a stranger in German you basically end up saying the english equivalent of "could they tell me what time it is?" for a english variant of "could you tell me what time it is?"

To make things worse "sie" is not only singular and plural depending on the context, it also is the equivalent of the female pronoun "her".
Don't you mean less restrictive? A human might have preferences against areas that a computer might not. Further if it's cheaper and less complex to operate (not dealing with employees is a significant decrease in complexity) I would expect more car owners to enter the market and provide services.
It's really annoying when libraries don't support a 7 year old standard, as well.
