Yeah, they probably could, but the phosphates are always in the water so it'll reform and the amount of lead that gets into the water when disbursed is pretty low ppm (parts per million). The fundamental problem is that this infrastructure is costly to dig up and replace, and the key word here is "service lines". Those are the lines consumers are responsible for paying for. Cities that have lead lines should be working with the EPA to set milestones and goals for yearly replacements with federal funding though.

The most pressing dangers of AI most researchers see:

- error rate too high

- you can trick a classifier with noise

- it's racist sometimes

Actual dangers of AI:

- stop problem

- infeasibility of sandboxing

- difficulty of aligning black boxes with human values
What a wonderful experiment, not only does it sound fun but also slightly educational
Sounds like a City problem, not an "American" problem.
By the accounts I've read, EU were the ones who rallied around harsher sanctions that surprised even US, after getting emotional over Zelensky address. Policy makers forget that they are watching a literal professional performer to the point that west may have escalated themselves into corner that prevents de-escalation. It's... West Wing foreign policy, that may either be strategically sound or disastrous. Here's a recent essay by Tanner Greer, who also writes a lot about Taiwan, on how distinctively non strategic US thinking is, frequently distracted by moral imperatives than well reasoned strategic consequences [0]. EU may be learning this lesson the hard way as well, with increasing sentiment of US unwillingness to goto bat for UKR. Especially among Eastern states that outright wants to send NATO peacekeeping mission in URK in recent days.

With respect to Taiwan, if the lesson Xi/PRC learns from this saga is the price of taking Taiwan is eating sanctions as long as she has enough nukes to deter foreign involvement, then PRC would be incredibly pleased. Reality is export as % of GDP has been declining for last decade to the point where PRC is approaching US levels of economic "isolation". PRC losing most western export is ~10% of GDP... a few years of growth. Frankly if you told Xi that's the price for reunifying with TW, he would call it a bargain. Also for PRC, "annexing" Crimea is not a precedent for TW, a renegade Chinese state part of ongoing civil war, there's no international sovereignty violations involved, hence PRC being very vocal how UKR is not TW... West likes to emphasis UKR is not TW as well, but for different reasons. The real lessons will take months/years to unwind, in the meantime PRC is building a lot more nukes and planning for Grozny instead of "special operations".

Desire for immigration doesn't imply that you want completely uncontrolled immigration.

Maybe you want to bring in mostly educated non-criminals? Or mostly people who generally agree with the governing philosophy and our notion of freedom, so that it might not be voted away?

Or, a group focused on accusations of racism would choose to cherry-pick incidents to give the perception of racism, and diverting attention away from incidents that might dispel this perception.
That coding interviews are objective is no argument in their favor. The author provides no evidence that what's being "objectively" evaluated matters at all. They could just as soon choose the candidate whose name comes first in the alphabet or who's the youngest. Those are also objective, but not meaningful hiring criteria.

All the other sensor cruft would go away with dark-frame subtraction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark-frame_subtraction They're apparently not bothering with that for mirror alignment photos.

NIRCAM is still at 42K, and MIRI is hotter. https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/content/webbLaunch/whereIsWebb.htm... It doesn't look like they've turned on the instrument coolers yet.

Yo! Neeva is a dope product, imo, but could I offer some suggestions on how I use Neeva?

1. I have more than one GitHub account (one is for work, one is for personal stuff). I would like to somehow keep them separate, but at least being able to add multiple GitHub accounts for indexing would be cool.

2. Could Neeva offer something for segmenting the parts of my online presence? For instance, there's personal me and then there's work me. I'd like to turn a different profile on when I'm doing different things.

3. I don't know if it's possible to partner with ProtonMail, but I'd love to index that and my Proton Calendar as well.

Also didn't know the free tier is permanent, but I think that's probably a good move. Thanks for what you do!
It doesn't matter if it's inconsistent. If "lots of things" are immoral but permitted, and gene editing is also immoral, the correct conclusion is that all of them should be prevented.

If the opposite is true - that if "lots of things" are immoral but permitted, things that are equally or less immoral should also be permitted - then you're arguing for more forms of child abuse to be legalized, in the name of "consistency".

This was my experience too, and at the time I had been using Sublime Text for years, so Atom was shockingly slow in comparison.

Somehow VSCode does not suffer from most of the performance issues I had with Atom.
Well, then.

Maybe it’s not working? I’ve seen examples of people getting in the way a lot. There’s nothing wrong with making more specific laws targeting bad behavior.

This is the one P4 workflow feature I wish git had from the beginning. In Perforce, changes can be grouped into uncommitted "change lists." Its really helpful if you're working on multiple things especially when they're unrelated features or projects. Works very well for artists and such.

Sadly P4 fumbles at the 10 because you can't split changes by hunk, file only.

I hope something like this (or maybe just multiple named stages?) makes it into git.
Once you pass another law, that gives cops more tools to abuse their power.

Looks great! Integration with Excel seems to be missing and is what I’d need to use it. Do you have any plans to integrate Excel soonish?

Beyond that, integrations with CRMs like Salesforce could also be really powerful for a too like this.

Also, have you considered integrating with a tool like Zapier rather than integrating directly with each app to accelerate the number of apps you’re integrated with?
> Unlike the government of nearly every other major oil-producing country, including Saudi Arabia and the other OPEC states, the U.S. government cannot open and close its own oil taps. It cannot compel oil companies to drill more.

Yes, the US Government can't dictate the oil companies what to do. That's the point of this country. Sure, if absolutely necessarily, the President could invoke the Defense Production Act. But we should resist this type of urge.

Fortunately, nobody needs to "compel" the oil companies to drill more when the barrel sells for more than $100. They will be more than happy to oblige.

Definitely agree on easiest so far. The checkpoints are much more forgiving and summoning doesn’t take any resources. Also with the horse, you have a lot of escape options. With those QOL improvements alone it makes it a lot easier.
> Mr. Slapikas said he pulled in $64,000 in rewards in 2021 for simply paying attention on his daily walks for exercise: “I would expect to get three a day without even looking.”

That’s almost 10% of the total fines paid out last year, according to the article.

I wonder what the distribution of payouts looks like. I assume it’s a small number of people collecting the bulk of the fines.

Regardless, it looks like it’s working. Idling cars may not be producing the bulk of emissions, but it’s one of the easiest places to start cutting as it’s otherwise wasted fuel and emissions.

Disproportionately relative to what? Their share of the population, or their share of violent crime*?

*The usual trick is to claim police bias makes measuring violent crime impossible. But if one is not motivated to remain ignorant, there are a few ways to get bias-free statistics anyway. One is victim surveys, that don't involve the police at all. The other is using homicide as a gauge for other crime. Since it requires a dead body, and is mostly intra-racial, there's very little possibility or motivation to fudge these numbers.

"There is no competition to the DMV, so there is no incentive to run it well."

I have been to the DMV in Ca, NV and NM in the last few years. All of them had appointment systems. In all three states I got there at the appointment time and had my car registered and a new license in between 30 and 60 minutes. I would rate the service better than at most private companies, competition or not.
Too bad Kay has never paid enough tribute to Nygaard and Dahl in the same manner. His comments from that '97 OOPSLA talk on Simula being incomprehensible are absurdly misleading.
I could have been happier with the soundtrack, but I think most of that is on the director rather than Hans Zimmer. The Dune Sketchbook Soundtrack [1] was in my opinion quite good; I think the director just chose to avoid some of the really cool, but rather esoteric, music he had available.

“Technical debt” seems like an objective description of a real thing. Complex software systems that actually get used and adapt to requirements over time inevitably accumulate cruft, bugs, less than ideal design and implementation in hindsight. That’s in the nature of software development, a feature rather than a bug.

When programmers talk about “technical debt” they actually mean to communicate their boredom, disdain, impatience, fear of working with legacy code they didn’t write. They imagine how they might do it better now and judge the legacy system in that light. Programmers strongly prefer creating something new, and that bias leads to judging code that works by its flaws and shortcomings, magnifying them and calling them “technical debt,” giving the liabilities 10x more weight than the business value.
They do for the water heater, not the rest (at least in San Francisco). Obviously that’s how you end up with 90% unpermitted work when you buy.
People act like this is new but it's been around for at least ten years where I live (near Washington DC).
> Today’s high gas prices are the perfect example. Americans are universally unhappy about the high short-run costs of energy and transportation.

"High" meaning $4/gallon. Meanwhile in much of Europe, it's over 2 EUR per liter, or near $10/gallon.

The US would look very different if gas was taxed at European levels.
Looks interesting. I signed up and received an email with the chrome store link, but the email didn't include an access code (it mentions it, "...and the access key below.", but the only thing below is the store link). Is this a bug or am I missing something?

EDIT: A second email showed up about 30min later that did contain the code.

You are asking the point of omz and saying ksh has the same features as zsh

omz is a tool for zsh users, that is its purpose in life

Zsh has a lot more features than ksh, the functionality ksh has is the lower bound if it works for you great

If you enjoy DIY writing 200 aliases great, zsh like bash is more than path autocomplete and aliases it’s a lot more

I can honestly say that many agencies of my goverent are more efficient than the private alternative.

As far as pioneering human rights around the world, a few million dead innocents disagree. People who say the US is good at human rights always limit it to within their own borders. Internationally, the US has caused more death and destruction than almost any country.
California DMV is so efficient, I’ve never seen a government agency be so fast during Covid.
I’ve met quite a few executives at US companies who emigrated from Europe. At the high end, America kicks the shit out of Europe in every regard. The high end people create the new companies, and thus America has far more equity value than Europe, and new innovative companies, and cutting edge research, etc. etc. Europe might be better for the average person but the hyper successful generally opt to leave.
I watched "Ronin" and then made the mistake of watching the "Making of..." documentary.

The documentary showed how the foley artists made and added the sound effects for the car chases. It completely ruined the movie for me, as when I'd see the chases the picture in my mind was of the foley artists rattling things in coffee cans, etc.
"- The US is also not very interested in trying to learn from what construction techniques, etc. have worked for public transit in other countries"

It is good form in technical writing (or any writing, really), to define your acronyms the first time they are used. For example, this would have been helpful:

"GoBGP is an open source Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementation..."

Writers should never assume that knowledge of an acronym is universal.
Building and planning are two very different things, you can't lump them together.
> my interpretation of their argument is that they view scaling money as easy versus finding new fundamental technical advances.

This paper only discussed transformers. Given the current pace of research, it's not a given that transformers won't be replaced by something else that has better scaling laws.

And indeed, this paper tells you the amount of compute and data you need for a transformer. But Moore's law isn't doing great lately. For the purposes of research,you may be able to train trillion-parameter models - but you will likely not run such a model on your phone.

In order to merit the large cost of both training and running predictions (which don't even fit the entire model in a single GPU for larger models) - models will need to become more parameter efficient than the vanilla transformer. Otherwise it's just too expensive.
Came here expecting an article about Kahan summation, left having learned about a multiple-precision Python library...
"The Russian astronauts did not say anything that would suggest that their clothing was a political statement. Yet it seemed difficult to believe it was happenstance." -- NY Times

"It was unclear what, if any, message the yellow uniforms they changed into were intended to send." -- The Guardian

"It's not yet clear what message the cosmonauts were trying to send. But when asked about the yellow suits, Artemyev said that every crew chooses their own." -- NPR

I'm not sure this qualifies as "_zero_ doubt". Every news outlet I've seen indicates that the Russians said it was because of excess fabric, etc. And every headline has indicated they arrived in yellow and blue jumpsuits, which, of course, they did.
And pass the interview process.

A law that doesn't make predictions isn't a law. A law that is not falsifiable isn't a law. It is an unscientific belief.

It's truly incredible to me that people, like the person in this video, can speak with such confidence about how, for example from this video, "if we look at an org chart for an organization, and we look at the structure of the products that it produces, we would expect them to basically just be collapses of each other [i.e. a homomorphism]". Also known as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law

A sincere person in search of truth asks questions like the following when they encounter a claim:

- can we think of circumstances where this law is not true?

- can we test this claim to show that it is true?

- can a test be devised which would falsify this claim?

- if this claim is true, what are the mechanisms of action for the claim?

- if this claim is true, are there any contradictions that would arise with other things we know are true?

Using the same metaphor used in this video, if the currently recognized law of gravitation (General Relativity) made predictions which were different than what is observed, then that law is wrong. And a scientist would adjust their law to reality and be more than willing to point out the gaps of explanation in our law of gravitation (which they do).

If we're serious about Computer Science (and Software Engineering) being a field in pursuit of truth, we should be as rigorous and critical as other fields of science and engineering when it comes to making claims.
Sorry, absolutely correct and I plead exhaustion after running a race this AM!
They write reports to facilitate communication between people who are disconnected by the large number of people in a large organization who write reports. Get rid of people who write reports (managers first) and magically you will not need reports. Of course if you hire badly you'll need this, which means the cost of a bad hire compounds.
