It doesn't even stop after hitting the jet. It just keeps going right through it.

I don't think you can take this autopilot, and FSD (Fools Self Driving) contraption seriously or remotely ready for customers to use; even for a 'beta'. Since it's functionality doesn't even work as advertised, puts the lives of other drivers on the road at risk and it is completely useless at the most dangerous time to drive, which is at night.

For example, as a simple test against another autonomous vehicle with LIDAR at night. [0] The Tesla with FSD failed to stop and just ran over the object.

The best part is 100,000 crash dummies have this software installed and seem to be taking the risk in trying it out, even when it malfunctions on the public roads and what we can see here. This contraption needs to be thoroughly investigated.

How much of your money has been taken from you? Not hypothetical money you think you might have been entitled to, but money that was actually yours. How much was taken from you?

Sucks for them, I guess. Because with the right know-how and some setup it is pretty damn easy.
Well he goes on to recommend a bank that does put all deposited money into low carbon projects. It's called Atmos: joinatmos.com
Not only that, but there are more than three times as many slaves TODAY as ever were in the transatlantic slave trade that is the only one the US knows exists.
Shameless plug: I built https://joyful.gifts as I was learning how to code to programmatically buy gifts on my behalf (as well as other people). Almost 3 years in now - surprisingly solid market of people and working well considering it was the first thing ever I built for production.
I played with HomeAssistant for a while, and I kind of liked tinkering around with things, but it was still a huge pain in the ass, and I have no delusions that it was saving me money or time. For someone going into this with the expectation of tinkering, it's fine. For a commercial venture, I don't see current 'smart home' products/services as very viable. I've already switched my light bulbs to LEDs; how much am I actually going to save by having them turn off automatically after a preset delay? Not much.

One of my DIY projects was a couple smart plugs and a temperature sensor; at the peak of summer heat, when the house was hot but it cooled off at night, I automated ventilating our house. It had a great impact on our comfort without using air conditioning (which we didn't have). That is a decent use for this kind of stuff, but it's far too much effort for most people to go through.
It's a win win. You more reliably kill threats which saves the lives of your own guys but also spares civilians.
This is in line with earlier findings in different countries. In a meta-analysis of hiring discrimination studies during 2000–2014, Rich [9] documented high levels of discrimination against men applying to jobs in female-dominated occupations in China [13], France [14], England [25], and Australia [11].
Perhaps they promote their tech achievements better than others https://netflixtechblog.com/
Why shouldn't a company or person be discriminated against based on content type? content type is not a protected category. Ultimately, net neutrality is good for the rich since it lower their cost so it will all be supported by the gov. If you people didn't already know, the the rich are the ones who make the calls in the USA. I don't want to bring them down though, I want to elevate my self to their level.
On an old team we had a teammate in a similar circumstance. The worst part was that the rest of us meant well and still all the things you described happened. We tried to be good about including them, and yet there were times no one remembered to turn on the hangout, or to remember to ping him when an ad hoc design discussion started up.

It was eye opening to me. If in an environment when people are trying to accommodate the remote person they still got left behind, what does that imply in other circumstances
That is not allowed (for good reason) and I don't want to get fired, if you work at Google you can ping me and I can send it to you.
vudu is a nice try, just too expensive, a few movies adding up is already more than netflix+disney+others

at least vudu should have something like the more you buy the cheaper you will be charged
> We live in a world where 90% of the entire catalog of movies ever filmed are available to be instantly delivered to your home in 1080p for less than the cost of a Big Mac

Yet whenever I want to watch something, I have to look up which service it's on, see if it's available in my country, sign up for a subscription, possibly download an app....
Or, go to the high seas and be watching it in 4k resolution within 2 minutes.
Up to a point.

In that scenario, "I have nukes" becomes a joker you can pull out to achieve anything less bad than a global nuclear war. Peel off a bit of a neighbour? OK, less bad than nuclear war. What about a "minor" NATO country? What about, "pay me money or else"? And so on.

So either you accept that (no thank you from me) or you accept that sometimes you must set limits, even if the other side threatens nuclear war.

In that respect it's the same, just different scale. Allies could have said "no" to Hitler earlier, at risk of a devastating war, but chose to say "ah, go ahead" for fear of it. And got that war served up to them anyway.

The irony is that WWII could possibly be over in a few weeks, if Hitler's ambitions were stemmed earlier. In September 1939, it is unlikely he could fight on two fronts, and against the British and the French - the actual superpowers of the day.

I'm not sure I'm following your comment correctly, but you seem to be implying that adding type hints in Python results in some lost productivity?

If so, I would counter that adding types isn't particularly onerous and adds very little overhead to development time, and over time they'll tend to increase your productivity since you'll make less errors, IDEs can give you better hints, etc.

As to the percent of Python developers who use types / type checking, it seems to me that's been changing somewhat rapidly over the past few years. It's certainly greater than 1%.
Calculus finally seems useful when reading this.
The hunting and fishing byproduct was only the pretense, it was to spend an afternoon in the woods or on the lake. And the cars weren't exactly practical, they were impractical muscle cars that broke down often and were a mess of upkeep. If we're looking at useful byproducts that tells me factory working is the best past time one can have.
This is an example of where the Twittersphere has outsized influence.
I'm not sad to see it go. What I vaguely remember about macOS Server was that macOS upgrades were fraught regarding whether the macOS Server would function normally afterward requiring me spending time trying to debug what was wrong. Since macOS eventually started offering some of those services, like Time Machine Server, natively I've been using those successfully. For the services macOS doesn't offer I now have the option of using Home Brew to install those services.

> shrug there are giant for-profit corporations relying on software written by Richard Stallman. I don't think the intentions of the founder matter much.

I mean, the left politics of Stallman _very much_ influence how Free Software ends up being used and incorporated. Consider how the GPL encodes the norm of working in common with one another, dragging profit seeking corporations into that as well, or into defending against it. It's like a whole thing.

> At this point I wish someone would clone urbit, since the hatred for the founder seems to mean it'll never get traction no matter what it does or how it works.

Right, what I'm saying is, even cloned, Urbit's going to be a non-starter for a lot of people. Rigidly hierarchical, rent-seeking obscurantism isn't, uh, popular. I _do_ think Kelvin versioning is compelling though. TeX comes to mind there as an excellent example.
I'm not worried about being Damore'd, as I have a lot more experience fighting progressives than he does.

I can't think of any reason(s) why people wouldn't want to bring children into this world.
That's Amazon AFAIK, I don't know of any others. It's a step in the right direction but the price is still too high (it's usually $4-$5 in my experience). I only get to watch it once, not keep it, and I pay you double what I used to pay Blockbuster? No thanks.
It’s not clear to me how these two are the same?
False equivalence. 0 marginal cost of replication doesn’t mean that the item is valueless. The creators have a right to be paid for their work. Just as you’d be working your rights to charge people to look at your apple picture.
The reason you used to have Netflix was that you could binge watch old shows.
As Netflix lost the license to these many seasons deep shows and replaced them with single seasons of just a handful of episodes people got less and less out of it, but it became much more expensive for Netflix and so they raised their price.

We need a 'must-license' system for TV-shows and movies, so that any movie that is available on one streaming service must be available to any other streaming service for the same terms. No doubt this will not mean that all movies are available on all streaming services, but it will mean that there will be actual competition.
Its supposed to be a valid way to use the chip. The Russian military has a lot of windows systems and wants to run that on domestically developed chips that don't have a management engine.
Until we have publicly available statistics, speculation is irresponsible. We can't possibly know or being able to sample or extrapolate what motivation 200,000 had, nor their commonalities.

It sounds more like you'd like the reasons not to be one of or a combination of those, which would be fair.
Doesn't that pretty much characterise all for-profit companies?
Reminds me of when GitHub kicked out a paying customer for using the word "retard" as a verb in the mathematical sense.
My problem with all of this "progressiveness" in the workplace is that it just reeks of laziness.

There are real problems in this world, yet it seems that the progressives are going after the minute details. From a SWE perspective, it would be like your app getting crushed by bugs and technical debt while you argue over how big the logo on the login page should be.

The worst part of all of this, is the companies that are actively pushing this crap are the same companies that have the resources to make a difference in this world.

If you're a company with a 1T+ market cap, actually do something bold with your cash. Imagine if all the top tech companies approached a bunch of non-profits trying to help people in 3rd world countries and said: "here's a blank check, do what you need to". We could solve a shitload of problems on this planet.

But no, we all are just quibbling about our pronouns and how to write "inclusively".
Since it's from MIT I will consider it must be of high quality, saved and will read. Thanks!

I do have a small issues with PDFs like this one, please give me a TOC on the left sidebar for easy navigation.
I don't mind those words, and I don't really fight for them. I use the words I use out of habit. I just think that the mismatch in effort/spun cycles on those terms by the routine vocal minority is a testament to how detached to reality these people are

The things that worry me are the witch hunts started by the same group of people. See my other comment on "fren"
If we're going to play this game, I think dissuading people from using "mother" in the example of "motherboard" is offensive. Mothers are the source of human life on earth, and in that capacity are revered and honored. When we say motherboard, we're making an analogy that suggests the board's significance and universal connection to everything.

To discourage the term as an analogy for things that are a universal source is to demote women and their role as mothers.

I'd like to know who at Google puts these lists together and what judge decreed their viewpoint on this more valid than mine or anyone else's, since apparently Google feels that from this judgement they have the right to shape speech for millions of people and therefore, by extension, our culture.
Sure there are. Just not a blatantly sexist culture -they don't fit into-. There are plenty of male dominated companies, with male dominated recruiting teams, that still hire mostly males.

To be clear, I'm not saying it's okay either way, I'm just disagreeing with the idea 'most men' won't participate in such a culture; most men (oftentimes unwittingly) do.
I think you're misreading. Nowhere in the article did the author say she "liked the tool" for removing whitelist/blacklist.
Cause I have worked in NYC media and know that Vice writers use "landlord" as an insult?

The impetus for this piece was someone wrote a tweet that got very popular implying Google is somehow trying to cover for "landlords" by calling them "property owners". Vice writers are upset about that and would prefer to use "landlord" cause in their culture it has a negative connotation.
I don't think this is a compelling argument. It's an extremely inefficient way of producing those "useful byproducts". A person fixing and tuning the same old car for years?
Your question takes for granted that people are fighting for whitelist in blacklist, but it's the opposite. Whitelist and blacklist are long-established and familiar terms.
> Every TV has access to all these streaming services built in. Or Roku devices, which take moments to set up

You mean those same TVs and devices that plaster your screen with ads, arbitrarily modify the UI, suddenly make certain shows unavailable, spy on what you're watching, require unwieldy DRM, take minutes to turn on, interrupt your relaxation time to run "updates", randomly brick themselves, become obsolete in a short several years, and generally dictate your experience based on short-sighted corporate whims? Visiting someone else's house and seeing the garbage behavior they put up with from their "smart TV" is as mindblowing as seeing someone using a web browser without adblock!

"Piracy is easier" refers to the experience after you've gone through the work of setting up your own entertainment system. Setting it up certainly does require an investment of time and self-actualization, which for sure is more effort than searching "netflix" and following their "conversion" path. But after that, things just generally work without all of the corporate hassles. I don't foresee everyone choosing to make running a libre media setup one of their hobbies, but most people will know someone who has...
This is straight out of Brave New World where the word "mother" was viewed as obscene.
Fantasy sports is perfectly acceptable as an adult hobby. So is reality TV. Or gambling/playing the lottery. Or just getting drunk every weekend till all sense of reality is warped. All of these (and lots more) are perfect examples of escapism. But as soon as we start talking about superheroes or sci-fi suddenly it becomes "infantilization" because those are associated with nerds. There's no deeper logic here than decades worth of social stigma.
it contains "lord" which is a male term

I didn't think of that. I always thought of it as "lording over" something. As in she's the "lord of the land."

That said, a landlord and a property owner are not the same thing. Many (most?) apartment buildings are owned by one company and managed by another.
I don't really understand this distinction between "us" and "our employers". Many of "us" are "employers"—be it an early startup employee or a hiring manager in a big company. If "they" pay for it, it might affect your salary (or equity).
That prompts a curious thought: If you dump 1 unit of your toxic blood into the 9 units of blood inside the body of a transfusion recipient, then how toxic does their blood become? 1/10 toxic?

I've also wondered, is it possible for a transfusion recipient to fail a drug screening test because their doner had recently consumed drug prior to their donation.
Given their price increases they'll be at $15/month on the ad supported tier soon
I am fine with "blocklist" instead of "blacklist", because it sounds similar. But "allowlist" is just more difficult to pronounce.

Regarding your concern about people for whom English isn't the first language, I dont know how valid it is. Because those terms exist under the same names and fall under the same usage in many other languages. I can confirm that it is the case with Russian, as "черный список" is a commonly used phrase, and it literally translates to "black list", and has the exact same meaning as in English.
Some women are born to wealthy families and some men to poor ones. This policy would elevate wealthy women to the detriment of poor men, a completely unethical outcome.
That's not what the word "objectively" means

Whitelist and blacklist are the words we've been using for decades to describe a concept. Everybody knows what they mean.
An insult and a slur are extremely different things.
Probably better to fly under the radar in most cases especially if they have recently been locked out of the office for not getting mRNA injections.

"Black Label" has positive connotations. So it feels like an effort to find anything with "white" where there might be a positive connotation. And anything "black" where there might be a negative connotation. And to remove all that matches, regardless of why the specific connotation exists, why it exists, whether it's related to race in any way, etc.

I suppose that's easier than trying to debate every occurrence.
Is there any reason why one couldn’t simply have blood as a kind of treatment?

I’d certainly be happy to have blood drawn if it meant lowering blood toxicity I had no other way of treating.
That idea is also known as the Whorf-Sapir hypothesis, and despite many attempts, it has never been proven. There are only a few flawed papers that provide some support. We can safely assume it's untrue. Instead, it's (trivially) the other way around: our thinking shapes our language.
Firestr looks great! It looks like a cross between Nostr and Gun.

Regarding the architecture, where does the data live? On the clients?

How are you achieving a multi-writer functionality? Meaning, how can two people edit the same chat data structure?
Regardless of one's opinion, I wouldn't take laws as a good and definite source for my judgement.

History provides plenty of examples showing it can lead to some of the most inhumane behaviors we've seen.
Hi, I'm the author of this post. I hope you all enjoy it! I researched and wrote this back in January, and although the main ideas are still relevant, the landscape of AI art generation has changed quite a bit in just three months. Here are some important new developments:

- DALL-E 2: https://openai.com/dall-e-2/

- Midjourney: https://twitter.com/midjourney

- Laion 5B dataset: https://laion.ai/laion-5b-a-new-era-of-open-large-scale-mult...

- Compvis latent diffusion: https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion

Since the field is moving so quickly, this newsletter is a good way to try to stay on top of things: https://multimodal.art/news

Also I went on Yannic Kilcher's podcast to talk about this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdkenV-ZdJU&ab_channel=Yanni...
What a giant waste of human intelligence and engineering effort.
A double movement is when two contradictory or opposing actions/things/themes work together to produce an aesthetic effect. Thesis/antithesis/synthesis. If you haven't read Blood Meridian (you should - I'm biased, it's my favorite book, but it's widely considered one of the great American novels) it would be hard to discuss thematic double movements in detail, but one example would be scientific knowledge as a means of control vs the ultimate unknowability of fate.

In the case of social media, the author appears to be arguing that on the one hand it is not some "special place" that is distinct from other communication networks - many of which have existed before man himself did. e.g. you can see a natural continuum from plants communicating with each other via airborne rhizobacteria -> animals communicating with each other with sound -> people talking -> telegraph -> telephone -> email -> social media. So in some sense it's just a continuation of an existing trend of expanding the domain of communication.

On the other hand, it is not like previous methods of communication because it is subject to algorithmic amplification and perverse "attention economy" incentives. For example, the best way for Twitter or Facebook to make money is to show you things that piss you off. The best way to be popular on Instagram is to live a completely fake life. In fact, the author argues that the only way to properly engage with social media is by treating it as a game - e.g. shitposting. In that sense social media is very different from pre-existing means of communication.
the growth is about in line with independent surveys https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2021/04/07/social-media...
You see "nether-" in other words too, like "netherworld" or "nether regions", which both mean low/lowest parts of a place.
You still have to find which service it's available on, enter payment information, download an app... And even then if you're not in the USA the selection is distributed across more apps, and lots of content isn't available easily even if you want to pay.
As of Python 3.10, you can use `T | U` instead of Union.

Starting from 3.8 (I think), you can also directly use dict[T, U] and list[T] rather than having to import Dict and List.
You're conflating consumer responsibility with consumer spending. It's the company's job to provide wages - the company dictates and designs the means to acquire money to provide wages. If the company provides a widget that consumers don't want, is it the consumer's fault the company cannot pay the wages of the employees? That's just silly.
This is why Disney is an abomination.

Also, if you look at the content tropes constantly used, and especially used in much of the netflix library:

---

- Lots of satan/evil

- The constant CIA/NSA/FBI/Cop/Assassin Badass Porn, with the invariable singular hacker support guy on the squad that can get into any system and has a 3D blueprint with wireframe models of every building

- The hero cop constantly going against the bureaucratic system that holding back his personal justice

If you cant see the constant hero worship of rogue cops/cia agent/killer/evil etc in literally 90% of hollywood content puts a subconscious desire in the impressionable young minds of males to acquiesce to a violent society where they can see themselves as the fictitious bad-ass action person.

Etc...

The entire hollywood movie-narrative is an incestuous cess-pool-adrenochrome--eating-gay-frog-orgy. (Tongue in cheek alex jones reference, relax)
