Prescriptivism has various goals according to its various exponents. One very traditional goal is to preserve modes of speech that have become obsolete, or to avoid modes that are perceived as innovative. But that has nothing to do with information content.

Complaining that an element of the sentence is being marked twice instead of once is also an odd way to "try to preserve the information content of the language". The more times something gets marked, the more obvious the informational content carried by the marking becomes.

"Taken together, these points make the 12-nucleotide insertion that has created a novel furin cleavage site in SARS-CoV-2—so uncharacteristic of SARS-like viruses—look extremely suspicious.

The behavior of the WIV and its scientists also raises any number of troubling questions. The viral strain RaTG13 is a case in point. First collected by the WIV in 2013, RaTG13 was sequenced in 2018, but not disclosed until after the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. In their initial disclosure, the WIV failed to mention how or when they came to possess RaTG13, failed to indicate that it was previously called Ra4991, failed to cite their own 2016 paper first mentioning it, and seemed to imply that they only sequenced the sample after the outbreak. This does not seem like the behavior of scientists trying their utmost to establish how a Laotian or Yunnan virus came to cause an outbreak in Wuhan.

None of these points is in itself conclusive, but the circumstantial evidence is more suggestive of a lab leak than an act of nature."

There's an unbalanced relationship there, however, in that the criminal only has to be an idiot (or even just "not smart enough") once, to ruin an entire chain of previously smart actions. Law enforcement may only need one thread to unravel an otherwise finely crafted crime.

There's also a lot of time for law enforcement to try and find these threads as well, meaning the perpetrator could well be living in paranoia for as long as the statute of limitations lasts.

People that are capable of getting away with life-changing money type crimes would often be better off being entrepreneurs at the edges of existing regulation. Hello cryptocurrency...
Tesla hired a bunch of vision people, and to their credit, it detects pretty much everything in its FOV all the time. But these results show that vision AI isn't driving AI and the hard part about driving isn't seeing things, it's predicting their future and handling the situation.

Perhaps the intelligent life is so rare that we're the first species that exist across the universe and we're destined to reach for the stars - unless of course we manage to annihilate ourselves first. But then, if there's nobody else but us then perhaps all what we experience is just an elaborated simulation of more advanced species - perhaps our ancestors, who decided to keep us and our universe as a kind of memoir, or as some sophisticated experiment.

A future of Star Trek, where the protective veil of some kind of "prime directive" is being lifted as we reach certain level of development as civilisation and then we get a galaxy-wide club membership feels like naive funny fairy tale. It would be of course great if that would happen but it's more likely reality is, or will be way too mundane and unattractive.
> There needs to be some testing of FSD solutions in real world scenarios and there will inevitably be deaths. There are thousands of deaths on the road every
day right now.

This is a solved problem with experimental design. Experiments are designed and reviewed by ethics boards, and participants are gathered after getting their informed consent and giving them just compensation for the risks involved.

"Testing of FSD solutions in the real world" can follow the same path in their experimental designs, but they don't, because executives and shareholders don't want to pay for expensive ethical experimentation. They'd rather move fast and break bodies.

Most modern life saving devices and treatments have gone through exactly this type of ethical experimentation. There's no reason Tesla's products couldn't, as well.

There are options that are mid-way between pure profit-driven enterprises and public sector such as Bloomberg Philanthropies, 4ocean, Citizen Lab, etc.

If you are of the hacker mindset, you could also hunt bugs through any number of programs—you make a living and software gets safer.

There are an almost limitless charities that all need quality staff to help their missions; technical or otherwise. You did not say what you were looking to to but charity organizations typically have horrible tech.

Then there are the nonprofits that work in the public interest. Great options in health, policy, environment, etc.

Also foundations and think tanks that tend to be purpose-driven and less motivated by profits.

You could start a foundation, nonprofit, charity or other mission-driven organization! Never before has there been so
much capital and so many great tools to form and run your own thing. Leverage your public sector network (after your cooling off period, if applicable).

I feel your pain working in the public sector, but you have options and there is purpose and mission out there! Good luck.

Unintentional pun on "orbits", perhaps?

It's incredible to me that launching satellites is so easy now that a failure of 40 satellites can be tolerated. On the bright side, I guess this gave SpaceX a chance to talk about their debris-limiting strategy!
HNers have strange hills they want to die on. Sure, all else being equal something like Teams vs Slack might make me switch to one company over another but it's not a dealbreaker by any means.

> The problem really nice abstractions have is that they encode too much into too little code.

Sorry, I don't think I made myself very clear. I wasn't talking about concise code. I was talking about designing your system right, and deciding where you want to set boundaries and what you want to keep flexible. And sometimes: what do you want to encode in types, and what do you want to check at runtime?

Also what properties and invariants do you want your system to have? (See also property based testing.)

Calling all of this a design of abstractions was not the most clear word choice on my part. Sorry for that.

However, to defend a point I didn't make:

Sometimes it does make sense to shorten your code a lot. If you can express your solution in 10% of the lines, it might be worthwhile, even if each line is twice as hard to understand now.

That code might benefit from some explanation, and generous annotations, though. And plenty of properties tested.
But the accounts 1 and 2 on VCE 4 (the ones funded by Monero) weren't registered in either Morgan's or Lichtenstein's name. They were created with fake credentials.

The feds were able to link them to the couple because bitcoins were moved from VCE 4 to other accounts that also had received bitcoins which were traceable to their alphabay accounts.

If they had funneled everything through monero I can't say that they wouldn't have got caught like this.

Theoretically if you could travel very close to the speed of light time dilation would make the trip fairly short. Of course it’s one way since it would take hundreds of thousands to millions of years for everyone else. If you came back you would be returning to a different geological epoch.

Of course the energy requirements are insane and would require some kind of physicists nightmare propulsion system like antimatter rockets. Lose reactor containment and you are instantly converted into plasma and gamma rays. If you hit something the size of a dust particle it will destroy your spacecraft.

A bit hard.

Near light speed is a requirement for intergalactic travel because even solid state machines will not last long enough to make it without time dilation to shorten the trip.

Interstellar travel could theoretically be achieved with 1960s tech. Look up Project Orion. It could even be done with chemical rockets if you could hibernate, greatly extend life span, build a generational ship, or be an AI and just turn yourself off for the trip.
I think Google is realizing that software companies like Blackboard and Peoplesoft are milking universities for millions of dollars while Google is losing potential revenue in the name of product exposure.

Since universities need to provide email and storage services to their students anyway, Google is realizing that they will happily pay the bill rather than switching providers.
Another way to think about is that the cost to launch the remaining 9 went up to $3.3m/satellite instead of 612k/satellite.

> For the same sized single-core chip (x mm squared), running at the same voltage and same clock speed, on the same manufacturing process node, is there a (significant) difference between ARM and Risk-V?

Very many. And they are at the CPU implementation level.

The instruction decoding buffer depth, the register file size, the implementation of the out of order execution, the TLB depth, the data bus width, separate hardware assist engines etc are amongst many other conscious and decisive design decisions that can differentiate separate designs. Even at the same (citing verbatim) «voltage and same clock speed, on the same manufacturing process node» the performance can vary wildy.

The M1 CPU family is a very wide implementation in nearly every aspect, with a very large L1 cache (both, I and D, caches), reasonably large L2 cache, a (reportedly) 380 register wide register file, 512-bit wide data bus (in the M1 Max) plus extras, hence why it outperforms competing ARM64 designs running at similar voltages and frequencies. The same is true for POWER CPU's (i.e. compare POWER9 vs POWER10 designs) – POWER10 is 2.6x faster than POWER9 despite running at similar frequencies – due to a substantial design overhaul.

Holistic system design matters, not the ISA alone.

Well now you're defining seasons in terms of weather and we all know how reliable that is. Here in London we've had zero snow this winter so far so does that mean we haven't had a winter? There are plenty of countries, especially the ones close to the equator, who have never experienced snow and whose summers and winters are barely distinguishable in terms of temperature yet they still have a summer and a winter defined by the longest and shortest day of the year.

I've never experienced this on Ubuntu 20.04 (and similarly not had any of the experiences mentioned in other child comments).

Even grids designed around winter can fail, hard. Quebec's grid is extremely important to the province, and it's actually a source of pride here yet it also failed in a catastrophic way in 1998. And I've had 3 outages this year in Montréal too.

I don't know why everyone seems to be judging the soundness of the Texas grid based on single event that happened last year. Yes it was catastrophic, but so was what happened in 1998 here in quebec or the outages that occured in 2004 in Ontario or even the perpetual mess that's California's grid.
I don't see why shared enjoyment of something is a "shameness". People are coming together to enjoy and share about something they have in common and that should be a good thing.
I think it would be much, much worse than being a driving instructor. When I teach my partner how to drive, they announce their intentions, act cautiously, and make clear what their next moves will be.

What I'm seeing here is more like teaching a chimpanzee how to drive. It's irrational, has no clear intent, and does not ever announce what it's trying to do.

I've never been in a FSD-beta car, but I would take a novice adult driver over that every day of the week.

I have a very clear idea of what security guards do and I don't know where you got that I believe they "sit in front of the entrance all night" (which they do very often in South America, by the way, among other locations).

Any "reasonable robber", which means maybe not your early teen looking for some adrenaline or the out-of-their-mind tweakers, knows or checks whether there are any security guards in a building in which they intend to make a robbery.

This is interesting - complaining about the breakdown of easily identifiable social class because the lower classes dressed too well.

This seems to have gone the other way in modern times - it's hard to tell rich from poor because everyone aspires, via the explosion of tattoos, to look like they just got released from prison.

It is definitely one way to approach startup investment and why VC funds spread their bets out on so many startups. Almost all go to 0, some go 100x.
I have to wonder if anybody else lost satellites. Starlink is at an especially low orbit, so either they were really unlucky, or they have poor radiation shielding.

[EDIT] OK I made the wrong assumption that this was due to radiation, but it was due to the atmosphere being 50% more dense than usual due to the storm, which led to failure of the satellites. This makes good sense. Next time I'll read TFA before I comment!
At some point there will be enough data from different countries to confidently support or reject it. Until then I see it as the preferred hypothesis by Occam's razor and also because I'd rather err on the side of caution.

Seriously, this argument is tired.

Cue up those who think that it's fundamentally impossible to see a downside to anything Tesla does without having a vested financial stake in their failure.

I'm not. I hold no financial stake in TSLA.

According to the EMR system at my job, I've been an EMS responder on 378 fatality MVAs, and several thousand more non-fatality. And I still hold my position that Tesla is reckless. Throwing fixes over the fence for safety issues (phantom braking for one recent example) with 48-72 hours since the last update proves beyond any doubt that there's no ethos of thorough testing.

2. how it's calculated

So far they've let everyone in with a 98 or above, but they come in waves so getting 98 doesn't necessarily mean you'll soon have access.
That would be preferable yes, but think about if even the meme gained widespread popularity, especially among the young. If some people could start to wake up and realize how absurd, how fake our so called democracy is, and start to outright mock it and the normies who continue to blindly worship it as our most sacred institution, perhaps we could squeeze a 5% or so improvement in behavior out of them, for a few years anyways until another patch is realized to wipe that belief from people's minds.
I wonder who'll write their orbituary.
There are an unfathomable number of possible things that could be wrong with you at any one time. All of those might not be present in 99% of people and present in 1%.

But the 1% is not the same for every disease. If you perform unnecessary interventions on everyone for every disease, then you also perform unnecessary interventions on the 1% of every disease for all of the other diseases that they don't have.

Now you've given everyone weird cancers because you've done thousands of x-rays and CT scans for all manner of things.
