What are your thoughts on the state of gesture recognition technology? I'd hope that what's on the spectacles is at least better than the Kinect.
Nothing. This is nothing here, however I suspect a designer may lack some perspective on how a symbol is interpreted in the west. There is no nazi conspiracy here. Throwing in the whole, “today is celebrated by fascists” thing is silly. 4/20 is weed day and also doge(coin) day.

Cryptocurrency is a freedom and privacy enhancing technology. It is not useful to tyrants and fascists. Which is why the fascists and authoritarians keep crying about it, they cannot control it, cannot corrupt it, cannot stop it.
"You have a weird bespoke data structure" is an example of an "environment" where you might not have a sort that works for your data in your standard library. Of course, if you're in that situation, you're not using a weird bespoke data structure for a mere few percent better performance.

Honest question: do you mean Russia or do you mean the US for imposing sanctions that fail to give companies enough flexibility to do the right thing?
There is no fight here, there never was. It's been an unfortunate reality since before my parents were born.

This hypothetical applies to innawoods too. Oh, you were the only people with your phones turned on when X happened in the middle of nowhere? It must be you, come on and fumble your words already so we have something to tie you on. Ultimately, the issue with mass surveillance isn't privacy (although I do appreciate privacy myself), the issue is how it empowers corrupt, overzealous, or otherwise idiotic subsets of law enforcement. The Fourth Amendment is not to guarantee your privacy, it's to guarantee your security from corrupt, overzealous, or otherwise idiotic subsets of law enforcement.
Yep. More drivers driving more miles faster.
I see that in major cities. One person I know lives in a major US city and always leaves their keys on the floor of their car.
Many senior engineers who operate systems which spend 1M/month make 500k yearly

1M * 12 * 10% = 1.2M

500k * 12 * 2 * taxes >= 1.2M

How many 10% wins do they have to achieve in what timeframe to have a good ROI on micro-optimization, considering that these seniors could be producing stuff that allows for multiple times their salary in revenue?
If you're getting a lot of conflicts then you have folks working on the same code and diverging it significantly. I honestly don't think that's a problem tooling will improve because it's really an organizational/communication problem. Engineers have to know when to rebase (or merge in changes from the target) if they're working on code with other engineers. If you merge in/rebase sooner, then things tend to be painless. If it's been weeks or months then let the Circus O' Pain begin. This should be fairly easy to recognize in stand up, eg: "Oh, you're working on that module? I need to track your changes, so am I."

> That has nothing to do with the tooling, though. C++ just doesn't support those features.

In principle I don't see how language definition not supporting this would make this entirely impossible. It's just not possible to ask for such a running program transition to be requested from within the language, but with some modest restrictions on program behavior this might be possible to request from within the IDE. The restrictions I imagine to be similar to the restrictions that would enable C++ code to be subject to code-agnostic tracing GC, such as no user-defined XOR-linked lists.
Presumably the Sacramento utility district doesn't serve high risk fire areas, so their customers don't have to subsidize people that choose to live on the wildlands-urban interface.
>It’s a joke. There’s not actually CRT in the math books. None of their voter base is actually going to open up a math book and realize that though.

I'm assuming you are arguing in good faith and have read every page of every math book that is banned to confirm yourself. You surely couldn't be accusing others of not confirming themselves while you do the same thing.

And since you have read everyone of those books you could provide links to the books so we could also confirm ourselves.

>This is actually a pretty simple one… most textbooks are made in Texas, somewhat controlled by republicans.

Just because textbooks are made in Texas doesn't mean Republicans control their content. Do you believe every book written in Texas aligns with the views held by Republicans?

>They’re just banning anything they’re not getting a cut of the profits from & bringing in/giving their friends new textbook contracts.

Do you have any proof of this?
Pretty great quarter overall.

Not quite as fantastic as I initially thought, because of a surprising rebound on regulatory credits. Once you exclude that its not quite a amazing, still really good results on all the most relevant metrics.

That said, apparently there was some change in regulation that lead to the regulatory credit going up, so maybe that will continue.

A few neat points, Tesla has now basically retired all debt. They are practically debt free now. This is huge contrast to other automakers.

Tesla insurance seems to be finally really ramping and Tesla will be fully vertically integrated into both insurance and repair.

First deliveries (we think) of Tesla new in-house cells. This is really a major deal. A much bigger deal then most people understand. For a company that only in 2018 started to be taken seriously, to actually making its own battery cells with a completely new and unique battery production line is quite insane. Tesla will shortly be the biggest US cell manufacture and within a few years they will be one of the largest battery manufactures in the world.

Two huge new factories open up in Q1. Tesla on track to start outproducing major household names of the global auto industry in 2023.

Unfortunately not great for the energy business. Solar hit hard by supply chain. Battery as well but to a lesser degree. Next quarter will likely be good for battery because a major project will be recolonized.
If I were a billionaire, I could spend 10 billion project with a massive reduction in fossil fuel emissions.

So, the US Capitol didn't think to ask the ATC why there was a plane there, considering that's the purpose of the ATC? That seems even less likely.

My naive assumption is that one of the main purposes of these organizations, that we spend an incredible amount of money on, is to create, ready, and follow clear processes. What the heck are they doing with all that money/time? Does all this get reset with every election, or something?
> x509 certificates are typically expensive to renew and have lifetimes measured in years

In the Web PKI thanks to Certificate Transparency we can measure, the typical X509 certificate was issued by ISRG (Let's Encrypt) and thus cost well under one dollar (free to the subscriber, that cost is borne by the donors) and has a lifetime of precisely 90 days.
Cool website, but a couple of UX issues. The location search was failing on my first fetch of the site so I was typing my city and wondering why nothing was showing up. Perhaps some kind of error or feedback would make that experience better. The bottom-right location icon also doesn't seem to like me rejecting location permission and spins indefinitely.

Keen to give it a go with some cafes in my area though as currently there are none for my location.
"American dream" suggests to me something distinctive that happens in America.

Neither your modest scenario nor becoming a millionaire are specific to the US. And neither can possibly happen for all Americans.

So if that's really what the American dream is defined as, I think it inherently defines the US as a failure.
Sheesh, the one misspelling I notice after the edit link disappears, and two commenters call me out on it. Arrrrr.

Absolutely none of which you’ve presented. My anecdotal “evidence” - that I know several people that have tried to buy new cars and all been quoted massive wait times - is worth more than “Tesla bros are into Teslas”.

Pretty much.

Life is about observing the lizard brain rules.

Or in SF, that’s the cost of 1 employee. Only consider running it yourself if your compute is by far your largest cost, or if it’s a huge component of what you’re selling (for instance a cloud backup service, a video hosting service, a CDN, etc. where you’re competing with others and a lower marginal cost let’s you gain market share)
Nintendo is still selling Mario 64 in various ways. You can buy it in "Super Mario 3D All Stars" for $60 on the Switch.
I've been part of such an approach in the past. The way it worked there (and I imagine would everywhere) is that you exercise your full options, thus turning them into RSUs. You then give the company options on your RSUs at current valuation and the percentage of your RSUs that are covered by the options reduces on the vesting schedule.
> Also, note this was over a very short period of time.

That's usually how setting a "record" (i.e. a high water mark) works. It doesn't mean the trend line isn't moving in the right direction.
Almost no one believes most of what is in the Steele dossier. And news sources like CNN and Washington Post refused to print allegations in it. It was the Mueller report and it’s lead up that generated most of the discussion.
We're 2448x2448 and use optics that magnify the center more than the edges, leading to even higher resolution (36 PPD, about equivalent to a 27" 1920x1080 monitor 60cm away)[1]

As soon as I click on a video it usually loads in a low resolution and then maybe auto switches to a higher resolution after a while. Very noticeable in video gaming stuff, since the blurry text really gets hard to read in 360p.
Long term it might be better if we find a way out the the car-centric local maxima we find ourselves in, rather than heading further in that direction.

As you suggested in reply to a sibling comment, more bike lanes make sense. Parking on some roads could be converted to bike lanes. Perhaps it makes sense to lower the speed limits for cars, also.
Crime stats are a difficult thing to make comparisons with between jurisdictions and over time. I grew up in 1980s NYC. They flat out didn’t respond to take reports for certain types of crime, and may deliver a beat down to some weirdo following kids around.

Unless it’s a clearly serious felony like a murder or burglary, you aren’t really getting any information.

I would say that what people worry about is random freakshow people and the petty crime form other kids or teens. Folks are more aware of the freaks, and the evidence of in front of them that there are consequences for most petty crime.

We walked to school about 12 blocks in those days. It was fine. I live in a small city today; my kid won’t bike to school alone until about 12, mostly due to traffic issues and idiots riding ATVs in the afternoon.
We agree :) Our goal is for the Simula One to be so good that it's the strictly-more-productive choice over a single-screen laptop (and also over most PC setups too). Here's our pitch for why VR Computers can boost your productivity:

- Provide unlimited screens of any size

- Improve work focus & immersion (like "noise-cancelling headphones for your eyes")

- Fully controllable with just a keyboard (with hand gestures, eye gaze tracking, etc)

- Allow for fully portable, multi-screen computing

- Usable outdoors (no laptop glare) in places like backyards, urban balconies, & parks

- Provide more privacy (no one around you can snoop on your screen)

- Compact design takes up less desk space than PCs/Laptops

- Promote better posture & freedom of movement: with a VR Computer (VRC) you can change positions, sit up, lean back, stand, lie down, or even walk while you compute

This is literally the worst. I came from a background where we used google slides to present roadmaps and they'd get stale within hours. Live data visualization is supremely more efficient; no one wants to build those reports on a daily basis.
There was a big alert yesterday in DC for low flying aerovehicles & emergency sirens & training situations. Did anyone see those exercises? The coincidence of this happening the very next day is basically comedic- whoops we had our schedules date off by one, sorry about that! (Not likely the issue!)

It's incredible. Even more so if we consider that Silicon Valley Power (serving Santa Clara) charges a fraction of that and is more reliable.
The flipside is that most startups fail. 90% of startups have terrible numbers on the metrics like churn, CAC,ARR, MRR. Because most startups fail.

So as a startup founder, unless you are ONLY looking for financially illiterate employees who are willing to get snowed, you need to show and tell.

Often I think the employer doesn't realise that me, the software engineer, might not have the financial know how.

But my buddy from college with a masters in finance, THEY do. I'm running the numbers past them.
Real exponential growth is fairly rare outside mathematical models, it is almost always attenuated by logistical bottlenecks or resource scarcity after some initial phase.
Blockchain is also an example of SMR with less assumptions: ip addresses and public keys unknown upfront (permissionless), asynchronous model, and byzantine actors.
Yeah, it kind of sucks that every current VR headset has a focal range somewhere between 1.3 and 2m (depending on which headset.) I wish there was some kind of aftermarket lens swap to make that infinity; it would make things like Space Engine in VR way more impressive I think.
You can't make something cheap enough to overcome quadratic growth in demand for very long.

Not even CPU cycles.
How is the case on this? I have system76 which use a clevo chassis and they're super low quality.

The original Angular was, for its time, absolutely fantastic.

The state of the art has absolutely moved on but provided you were willing to understand its model (just like these days you need to understand React's model) it provided a power to performance ratio that nothing else in its class was capable of at the time.
> Starbucks did what you’re suggesting to increase turnover and profit at stores — but the opposite happened: sales dramatically dropped, even though the time to serve a single customer and the average customer stay both dropped.

Can you show me where starbucks revenue dropped (besides 2020 pandemic dip)?

2021 $29,061

2020 $23,518

2019 $26,509

2018 $24,720

2017 $22,387

2016 $21,316

2015 $19,163

2014 $16,448

2013 $14,867

2012 $13,277

2011 $11,700

2010 $10,707

Or maybe you mean same store sales! Oh wait, those have been up every quarter except one since Q4 2009.

I never understood why people online make shit up. People spout very easily googleable statements like "their revenue went down" so confidently, without bothering to check. They live in fantasy land where they pretend like the goal of a coffee shop is something akin to "serving the community" or "being a third place" when in actuality the point is to sell something for more than it costs to produce. You may want your coffee shop to be a third place. But it doesn't make it a viable business model.

MBA types get a lot of shit on this forum, but MBA types are good at some things. And those things include running a pretty simple business like a coffee shop. It's pretty simple math, you can set clear targets, estimate demand and balance trade offs like what to have on the menu and how much to charge. Sure there's things like investments and long term planning, but they do that as well, just without the romanitization.

I can see how you would think they are similar!

Actors usually refers to a scheme with multiple coroutines which communicate via message passing. The emphasis is on the fact that there is no shared state: all communication happens via message passing. It's usually something which comes up in programming language design.

State Machine Replication usually refers to a scheme where all operations are serialized to a log and have a completely deterministic result, allowing you to reach the same state on any other machine simply by replaying the log. The emphasis is on existence of that persistence log, and on the deterministic result of applying it. It's usually something which comes up in distributed systems. It's also a common pattern in databases though it's usually just called "replication".

Erlang is the classic actor model example. Most erlang deployments do not keep persistent logs of messages. There are "inbox"es but those are transient and message disappear as soon as they are processed, actors are also not required to have deterministic responses to incoming messages. So, most erlang programs do not resemble state machine replication!

The classic example of SMR is something like Postgres streaming replication. One machine saves all changes to a log before it commits any transactions, and another machine is continuously processing that log. This gives you two instances of the database, making it easy to switch over to the second machine if the first one ever fails. This kind of looks like actors, if you squint, but usually when we talk about actors we don't think of each of the processes running on each of our machines as actors.
You’re looking at the situation from the immigrants perspective. Who is the individual in the host country initiating the transaction. Nozick, to my knowledge, never explicitly addresses the immigration issue in his writings. Most, such as yourself, would interpret him as pro-open borders, as most libertarian philosophers are. I would suggest that creates an unreconcilable conflict within libertarian philosophy.
His comments on inflation are interesting. Elon is not right about everything, but he usually gets the big picture right.

Without side tracking the discussion too much, how is everyone so sure the rise in inflation is what it is? Wouldn’t the rise in prices be more attributable to supply shocks of the last two years? We know housing is shocked due to inventory, along with cars due to semiconductors, and general electronics (still can’t click buy-it-now on a PS5 at MSRP, still near $1k). How can this be inflation? How are they sifting supply and demand out of the equation?

Inequality has been so high for so long, that I can’t imagine even 10 trillion dollars of global money shifting the pendulum in the other direction like this. Most people didn’t put that stimulus money into assets, it should have technically vanished (aaaaaand it’s gone - South Park) into consumerism.
People often do things for their own merits and not just in exchange for money.

But the guy has a Patreon and this video already has a half a million views which should be at least $1000 in revenue, possibly 2-3x and it's still quite new.

They informed the ATC. One would assume that's the ideal mediary for this sort of thing.

Virtual Console (or whatever Nintendo calls it now) releases mean that the game can be a moneymaker decades past the end of retail sales. You also see this with MS-DOS games, sometimes modders will voluntarily stop making their fan patches if an official rerelease makes it to Steam.
Like I said, you can indeed construct logic through CS! But you can also obviously construct CS from logic. You can also construct logic through the natural numbers, so number theory absorbs math and by extension CS? Fact is anything reasonably complex can replicate everything else. Exactly one of these fields, however, is specifically carved out as the study of any formal system, and it isn't CS.
If the rate of growth varies dynamically over time, then it is not exponential growth. Exponential growth only varies in proportion to itself.
Reminds me what ATA over Ethernet[0] promised. I bought one of Coraid's Parallel IDE to 100mbit single-device developer kits to experiment with, and then attempted to use their blade software to serve up mdadm devices. Worked okay for short periods of time (5-10 minutes) before the client machines would throw a wobbly and irrecoverably corrupt the filesystem (tried both XFS and JFS) on the device.

Not really. You could, but it would take a lot of effort.

Many places don't accept cash, like paying the power bill (could get cashiers checks). Unless you have full cash for a house, you need an account for the pedigree of your mortgage down payment. Some jobs only do direct deposit. Without any credit vehicles (cards, loans, etc, which are technically accounts), it can be hard to even get a place to rent if they do credit checks.
The Retaliation: Pranking My Roommate with Targeted Facebook Ads (2015)
I find it hard to believe that you genuinely stand by this argument. There are plenty of manufacturers experiencing large delays. You’re comparing a manufacturer you’re obviously very fond of with some advertisements you’ve seen on TV, and using it as a stand-in for the non-Tesla auto industry. Regardless, delays are a problematic proxy for demand, because it implicates manufacturing capacity. And regardless again, it’s disappointing that I am even having this conversation because people have decided to port this company-stanning ‘08 Apple fanboyism and apply it to cars.
