It would be interesting to see an experiment like this run on a large fungal colony in the wild like one of those huge organisms that you find in old-growth forests. You may be able to fine-tune your understanding of their "language" syntax and format if you could deploy a grid of sensors to track a message as it spreads through the organism to see how efficiently it is delivered to distant parts of the colony.

It would also give an opportunity to see whether fungi play the telephone game and how that affects those at the other end of the "conversation".

Thanks for this article. For me it confirms the notion that all things alive need a method of communication that allows them to use the resources in their environments to greatest effect. Whether that involves chemical signaling, electrical signaling, disapproving glances, the spoken word, etc. is irrelevant. It appears that no matter how deeply you dig, there is a sense of community in most living things and most things find ways to work together with their environments to guarantee survival. Humans could probably learn a few things from their steak toppings about how best to utilize the bullshit many of us find ourselves wallowing in.

There's price discrimination, and there's airlines.

Airlines will tell you "An economy seat on this flight costs $100. There is 1 ticket left at this price." ; you'll think "Great!" and proceed to click into it, with the intent to buy at that price. You'll get to the part where you need to choose your (specific, not simply class of) seat on the plane, and the diagram will show no seats available: your only option will be to "upgrade" to a costlier seat. So, in reality, there weren't any seats at that price, and the whole "There is n seats at this price" thing was simple bait & switch meant to just wear you down into purchasing the more expensive seat.
Interesting. Right now these ML models seem like essentially ideal sources of "hotel art" particularly because it's so subjective... you only need a human (the buyer!) to just briefly filter some candidates, which they would have been doing with an artist in the loop in any case.

For things like aircraft pilots, it's both realtime-- which means 'reviewer' per output-- you haven't taken a highly trained pilot out of the loop, even if you relegated them to supervising the computer-- and life critical so merely "so/so" isn't good enough.
Nonsense. This is merely a tool and helps lower the barrier of entry to be able to produce imagery.

By the same logic you should also complain about any number of IDEs, development tools, WordPress, game maker systems like RPG maker or Unity, after all if anyone can just leverage a free physics and collision system without having a complete understanding of rigid body Newtonian systems to roll their own engine it'll be too uniform.

> Could France just deploy it's army in the Ukraine and push out Russian occupiers saying "don't worry we are not NATO, we are here privately" and Russia would have to accept that and hold no additional grudge against NATO, knowing that if it retaliates it will trigger article 5?

Russia can hold all the grudges it likes, with or without any kind of justification.

Not that it matters to the international legitimacy of France (or even NATO, without Article 5 being triggered) directly militarily supporting Ukraine’s self-defense against Russian aggression, see UN Charter, Article 51.
The casual characterization of sex work as a victimless phenomenon is a mistake we better not make. Prostitution and sex work is often rooted in poverty: https://dspace.wlu.edu/bitstream/handle/11021/34747/RG38_Woo...

I especially dislike this unthinking and unconsidered memeing of sex work because it only serves to normalize the profession and has a net-deleterious effect on society.
> And now, I'm broke as hell and not sure what should I do. Whenever I look at jobs either for backend: they need algo and for frontend they need 10 different frameworks. I don't have any education background in CS or even in anything after high school.

I think you can get up to date in these new tech stacks quite fast. Just apply for jobs and get used to their interviews. You'll discover a pattern (classic questions tech companies ask, and their answers). In the meanwhile learn 1 frontend framework and 1 backend framework (you usually can extrapolate knowledge. For instance, if you know Vue, you more or less know about React. If you know Django, you more or less RoR. Details differ, but the concepts remain).

In a nutshell: just apply. First rounds will be hard, but it's all about getting used to it.

Why The “Four Eyes” principle is critical for access
Precisely "was".

Top tier firms are actually the ones most guilty of it these days. They raise huge funds (thanks to Softbank) and attempt to buy their way into monopoly positions by selling dollars for 50 cents, manufacturing growth and then dumping the companies on the public market (these days through SPACs). Public markets are no different than private, it's the same group of individuals just further down the chain, with the same incentives to push up valuations knowing that stonks can only go up and when things go bad we'll be on the hook to rescue them, or if things are not catastrophic they'll just write off the losses or let main street investors on robinhood catch the falling knife.
> Why must every company sustain boundless growth and 24-hour engagement? Change and growth for their own sake can be cancers.

I agree with you on this, but I think the parent commenter was implying that if you're going to be employing thousands of engineers, you ought to have something to show for it.

It's fine to move into a "steady state", but your engineering team should eventually reflect that reality.
I'm not sure who you think you're getting back at here. Sex workers aren't a left cancel culture monolith. And it's not like Twitter only bans some people with partiucular politics.

Their reporting and review is so bad, I once received a 7 day ban for telling a newspaper to "cease existing" (exact words, probably banworthy had they been aimed at an actual person, but well, wishing bankruptcy on a newspaper isn't exactly the same).
Maybe very very short (single-gene) sequences. The thing with DNA is it's the product of evolution. The DNA guides the synthesis of proteins, then the proteins fold into a 3D shape, and they interact with chemicals in their environment based on their shape.

In the context of a living being, different genes interact with each other as well. For example, you have certain cells that secrete hormones (many genes needed to do that), then you have genes that encode for hormone receptors, and those receptors trigger other actions encoded by other genes. There's probably too much complexity to ask an AI system to synthesize the entire genetic code for a living being. That would be kind of like if I asked you to draw the exact blueprints for a fighter get, and write all the code, and synthesize all the hardware all at once, and you only get one shot. You would likely fail to predict some of the interactions and the resulting system wouldn't work. You could only achieve this through an iterative process that would involve years of extensive testing.

Could you use a deep learning system to synthesize genetic code? Maybe just single genes that do fairly basic things, and you would need a massive dataset. Hard to say what that would look like. Is it really enough to textually describe what a gene does?
why? i like Julia but it's not a great general purpose language IMO.

This is how you get 15,000 new 15% profit margin luxury housing units sold to Chinese investors and left empty and 0 new affordable housing units.

We just need higher property taxes. This will mean that these store-of-wealth investments eat losses & stop consuming all the good land while city coffers start to fill up with money that can build public housing.

If you want lessons on how to solve an urban housing crisis look to 1950s Singapore not the building developers salivating over 15% margins on newbuild luxury apartments whining about NIMBYs getting in their way.

At least here in the US, police don't really care about minor speeding. I don't see them pursuing the crime just because someone provides a video. The legalities of issuing the ticket without validating driver identity vary from state to state, but in many states it's not feasible.

I also save org files on shared folders to sync among different machines. I use GnuPG via the epg package to encrypt all files before saving to the shared folders. GnuPG has relatively good cross platform support that I can move the encrypted files between different platforms.

What happens if the plate is incorrectly read? I have had this with my old vehicle leading to being fined for entering a car park but not leaving it.

I disagree with points 6 and 7 entirely. You can observe wheelbase compression standing on a tight bend with your eyes which are fairly low precision.

Also throw an extreme scenario on the table. If you're travelling at 70mph, that is 31m/s or 1m image resolution for a 30fps video. If your wheelbase is 3m that's a resolution of three frames to pass which is well below any threshold where a credible measurement is possible as you convert from discrete to continuous time.

Of course that brings in the problem that lower speed resolution is probably better so I should probably be driving around at 70mph in a 30mph in my 6x6 Land Rover 130 (sorry couldn't resist that).

I think there are too many assumptions to make a reliable measurement within a tolerance for the purpose described. The existing measurement devices have to be calibrated and must be operated within certain constraints to make an accurate measurement otherwise the information is inadmissible. Your app doesn't contain 1/10th of the assurance or competency that would be required. All it does is allow really annoying people to annoy people.
His story on https://www.failory.com/interview/friday suggests it's making 10-25k MRR. If he can run it on autopilot with just occasional bugfixes and support queries, he's still got a very nice "lifestyle business" that will probably keep yielding for a couple years.

As someone who spends a lot of time with a deaf person, in a high-quality of life country with a social welfare system, I can tell you that these alternative systems to support off-mainstream modalities generally suck, if they exist at all.

You can’t hand-wave these things aside as if some powerful faerie will come solve the problem for you. It hasn’t worked like that for centuries and even in my country, where we’re comparatively quite good with this stuff, we’re shit with this stuff.

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve had to call someone to book tickets for something requiring deaf support, on their behalf, when I can use a web interface for my booking. It’s crazy.
A LNG import pier is essentially a pipe where ships dock, connected to storage tanks and from which, in response to demand, liquid gas is reheated by simply letting it exchange heat with air or the sea water.

It's a straightforward piece of technology that can be built quickly by any country, unlike, say, a liquefaction plant or a LNG tanker.

The point of hydrogen is not mainly energy storage but hydrogen is the only viable way to clean up two of the most carbon intensive industrial processes: steel smelting and ammonia (fertilizer) synthesis. Smelting steel requires coal to reduce the oxygen from raw iron to carbon dioxide. The coal can be replaced by hydrogen, which will then react to water vapor. Synthesizing ammonia needs elemental hydrogen which is as of now extracted from methane (natural gas) using steam reformation. This leads to CO2 as waste product whereas electrolysis crates hydrogen and oxygen directly/cleanly from water.

You need huge amounts of "base load" hydrogen generation capacities for these industries alone. Flexible generation, i.e. produce more to soak up excess renewable energy which you can then export or turn back into electricity (at a huge loss) later, is just the cherry on top.

The initial funding will absolutely come from the steel and chemical industry (and also government subsidies to get the transformation started).

There are two sides of me:

One cares deeply about these kind of topics. Reality, existence. This side cares nothing about the rest (having a job, love, friends, money, etc.)

The other side of me cares nothing about existentialism. It's more pragmatic (get a decent job, have some friends, have some fun, etc.)

I keep a balance between both sides, because without the one or the other I would be just plain miserable.

So one side of me agrees with you. The other doesn't :D

I think they are differentiating between systems that perform polling and systems that can receive interrupts (maybe not quite the right word here), I don't think that has anything to do with being publicly addressable here, in either case you sort of have to assume that devices can find each other before the difference even makes sense.

On the other hand, maybe deploying technology at scale to encourage random people to police others is bad.

Presumably if AMD hasn't patented it by now, they weren't ever going to patent it. CPUs take years to develop, so by the time something shows up in marketing slides (ie. release is imminent in a few months) it would have been years since the idea was first conceived.
> This scenario wouldn't trigger Article 5.

That... depends on the precise geographic location of any retaliation. The participation of a NATO state in a collective self-defense action with a non-NATO state under UN Charter Article 51 rights, outside of NATO operations, does not itself limit the applicability of Article 5.

And even if it didn't trigger Article 5, well, most NATO actions have been initiated as a result of Article 4 process, not Article 5 commitments. And an attack on a member’s forces in the Euro-Atlantic region but outside of the precise area covered by Article 5 commitments would arguably be a more serious Article 4 issue than the ones that have resulted in NATO interventions.

Excellent summary!

* I also have an aversion to blood, and I suspect for similar reasons.

* Music is for me what the visual mind's-eye probably is for most people. I feel like I can basically 'hear' the music, in a similar way that people say they can 'see' their mother's face when they close their eyes.
