Take from them the toy made to kill, _and_ fix the society.

From abroad, the US sometimes looks like a country of frustrated, violent, ignorant people, where the ability to produce money is the only value given to civilization.

Or is the whole world like that? Sure I am between the aliens on this planet - those thinking human killing-other-human shouldn’t even exist.

Is there production though, or is Sony hit by chip shortage like many other manufacturers out there and that's the root cause of spiking prices?
Definitely agree with the summary of your views. I think your point on the motivation of eugenics coming from the desire to build a welfare state is very interesting. (I need to think more about the motivation for people that want to build a more AI-driven society or who fear AI technology in today's day and age).

Though, on a separate note, I would question your view of Putin as suddenly "losing touch with reality". Is it not possible that it's just a strategic response to NATO encroachment? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4
Reasonable plan, until your service needs to interact with an external service (esp 3rd party). Then what?

Perfect security is commonly unusable and therefore often useless, because the business requirements still come in and need a solution.
Yeah, as much I think this guy sounds crazy, this is absolutely a fair point.

Reducing the need for films to spend $10m+ on production would mean all kinds of cool shit could be feasibly created.

Look at the video game space where we have indies producing all kinds of complex, 3D games through tools like Unity.

My first reaction to this was horror on seeing the title.

But... I rode an ambulance in the front seat transporting a family member in the back. Several cars drove in front of the ambulance in intersections, completely ignoring the siren. As we drove a several lane road that fed into the intersection was blocked by cars except for one lane, but it was too small for the ambulance to get through, only until the ambulance was stopped did the cars bother to make room. They are supposed to clear out well in advance. One even stopped in front and the ambulance drove around it. I commented on it, and the ER driver said that is how it is. This was late at night, in some traffic in southern California suburbia. I know cars make room in the sunlight. There were traffic cameras, likely police too; no one cared to enforce the law.

Not a complete blockage like that firetruck dealt with for 25 seconds on a small road, but if the software is made to respond to ER vehicles, would it perform better than humans 99% of the time?

I lost a bit of my faith in humanity seeing that one night-they could have easily made room. If it was during the day I think they would have acted better, while I believe a properly licensed and mature autonomous vehicle would have made room long before that day or night in most situations, and a human can take over in the rest like it did in that article.
Most of the blue eyed ones have the Eyes of Ibad from Dune. (And several of the ones that aren't blue eyed also have weird things going on in the sclerae.)

The two “african american” ones look south or maybe southeast asian (and the one of those that is a “young...girl” looks like a, maybe young, adult.)

All the ones without a racial/ethnic prompt are white, and disproportionately blue eyed (again, including sclerae.)

(It indicate “diverse”, and yet all of the examples read white or Asian, though the unlabeled darker-skinned male figure in the group of six at the top is ambiguous enough to be plausibly be something else.)

The “beautiful woman with curly red hair” has rather radical facial asymmetry, and straight to slightly wavy hair.

> What do these disturbed young men, who would murder children if given the opportunity, do?

Have you looked at every other country for evidence of what they might do? I feel there is a lot of evidence there to answer your question.
On the other hand (outside of a handful of exceptions) major tech advances are usually made by multiple people at the same time that have access to a similar set of starting information, usually resulting in patent wars and other kinds of disagreements of who was first to figure out something by days or months. And that was already commonplace more than century ago.

The bottom line is with nearly 8 billion people alive there is no such thing as an original thought anymore and everyone is replaceable. So as a consolation even if these people died and continue to die it may not matter much in the grand scheme of things.
I am missing the hang man's knot.
Do you have any actual empirical evidence? In my undergrad, even different STEM departments (e.g., math, EE) had differing rigor and workload based on the average scores they required of admissions. Almost all grading was done relative to other students anyway, so even with the exact same course, things would be very different.

As an example, we had to prove all continuous functions on a closed interval are monotonically continuous on that interval, in Calculus I. Which we had in our first semester with no choice. I doubt this level of rigor is at all common.
Really interesting. I do believe that this is the way to go. We already have a lot of communication platforms and apps that unfortunally can't communicate among them. I hope this should be the kickstart for a change in how communication apps are built, because communication doesn't means being able to communicate only with people who use the same app i use.

> Does the car know what a **** is?

On a level below identifying stop signs and lollipop ladies and push carts, a SDC's stack needs to be able to identify:

1) Driveable areas. If something looks like a cliff maybe don't go there.

2) Fleeting obstacles. Dust blowing in the wind. A stray plastic bag, winging its way northwards to the waiting maw of a baby turtle. A person with a borderline credit score. A stray cat chasing a bug. That sort of thing.

3) Anything else that's physically present in the path of the car. Doesn't matter what it is. Do Not Hit The Thing is the second lesson anyone learns when being taught to drive, after Make It Go So Hit The Thing Is Even An Option.
The thing with Snort (and others like it like Suricata) is that they produce a lot of false positives. You end up with a process of constant tuning of the filters and the filters update/change over time so that process never ends.

Maybe its not as noisy in a smaller/home environment but you'll still be going through the alerts.

Then when you do get an alert that looks interesting it might take you a lot of time to understand what it means and if it is real or matches the pattern for some other reason.

While you may learn things, and you can block things Snort finds to prevent issues before they happen, you'll have some work to do. Some are up for that work and some are not.

Now would probably be a great time to strike for China though. Ukraine aid has emptied military stockpiles (no idea if that stuff was useful to our military or just surplus, but there's probably not many extra weapons lying around to arm Taiwan with), inflation and economic troubles have the US domestic situation shaky, and morale is dropping, making support for a war to defend Taiwan unlikely.

>If you think that, you really haven't been doing it right. Pleasure, companionship, comfort, reinforcement of social status, and many other purposes are commonly fulfilled by the act of sex, including between same sex partners.

I am not talking about beneficial side affects like pleasure. It is my understanding that the we evolved from asexual to sexual beings not for pleasure but for procreation of individuals that are more resilient than the result of asexual procreation. I am not denying these alternative benefits.

Same sex sex does not lead to pregnancy so it isn't really relevant.

>But let us say that you're correct. That still leaves 1% of pregnancies that are involuntary. What should women be allowed to do then?

Are you willing to ban all abortions excluding rape and medical necessity? If not you are using an outlier to prove a rule (or whatever that phrase is). I don't think rape justifies killing an innocent bystander but would be more than happy with a ban of abortions excluding rape.

> We aren't going to agree on when a fertilized egg becomes a person (I think you would say immediately, I would say only when viable outside the womb), but let's set that aside.

I think this is crux of our disagreement. If you believed abortion killed a baby you would probably be closer to my side. I just think when a fetus has human DNA and possibly even a different blood type as the mother that shows it is a distinct individual. I don't think you can have a distinct human without it being a person. It is quite dehumanizing in my view.

>I don't think women should be forced to continue an unwanted pregnancy. You don't think destroying the fetus at any point is moral. What if we could both get what we want?

I am in favor of things like this, the problem is removing the fetus. It would quite probably require in a c-section which some woman would not be a fan of. I do think it will quite hard to argue for abortion when artificial wombs become available for humans though. By the way, a few posts back I did mention artificial wombs.

>Please note that unless women are provided with comprehensive sex education that includes contraception, there are going to be a lot more unwanted babies being born, regardless of how they are brought to term. This imposes a lot of costs on society that I hope you have some sort of plan to cover.

I am not strictly speaking opposed to sex education, but I don't think it is relevant to whether or not abortion is legal. Just because you didn't have comprehensive sex end doesn't mean you should be allowed to have an abortion.
> for example, swerving into an unmanned fruit stand without being able to brake is much better than swerving into an unmanned gas pump.

This is just ridiculous.

If you believe that humans are making rational decisions in split seconds then you are delusional. A swerving, breakless human driven car will hit whatever happens to be where physics takes it. The scared monkey descendant holding on to the controls will as likely do the wrong thing as doing the right thing. Maybe a fighter jet pilot or a rally driver can do better but i wouldn’t count on it.

And besides how did that AV end up swerving with no brake? This is the reason why autonomous vehicles are set up with redundant brake actuation. If I would have doubts about our ability to stop the car I would much sooner implement a third independent brake system than to try to solve whatever philosophical runaway trolley problem you are concoting here.
From the nih.gov article:

"As concerns the information made available to the public, virtually all the media is under the control of these pharmaceutical giants or others who are benefitting from this “pandemic”. Their stories are all the same, both in content and even wording. Orchestrated coverups occur daily and massive data exposing the lies being generated by these information controllers are hidden from the public. All data coming over the national media (TV, newspaper and magazines), as well as the local news you watch every day, comes only from “official” sources—most of which are lies, distortions or completely manufactured out of whole cloth—all aimed to deceive the public."
I would be interested in seeing your calculations, but so far every time I've seen someone criticize the article you're referring to they refuse to do any calculations to support their argument. Or even to show where his calculations are erroneous.

If storage is as workable as you say then it should be easy to demonstrate it mathematically.

Let me clarify the seemingly weird "all resources are artificial" with an example:

Until ~150 years ago oil was a fairly useless sticky substance you sometimes encountered in nature.

Then the internal combustion engine was invented, which made oil a hugely valuable resource.

Another example among many: Lithium has recently become a very valuable resource because of advances in battery technology.

Very interesting. Here is a link that explains the PPP measure in greater detail. https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity...

Actually the big mac index is a kind of PPP like measure.

I thought it was a stretch to compare the economy of Russia and Germany, however it seems to make sense, as the PPP per capita of Germany vs Russia is 54076$ vs 27903$ while the population is 83 million vs 144 million.

Other interesting details:

The GDP per capita of Russia vs Ukraine is 10125$ vs 3726$ (ratio of 2.7)

The PPP per capita of Russia vs Ukraine is 27903$ vs 13110$ dollars (ratio of 2.12)

Where were you in 2008?
Applications having high statefulness is not a bad edge use case, it is often the reason why substantial edge deployments are done!

I've typically seen the term "edge compute" to denote a deployment that solves a networking constraint which makes use of a traditional data center prohibitive: available bandwidth too low, latency is too high, or network is too unreliable. It is often cheaper to make the edge heavily stateful than to add sufficient network capacity so that all the data can be backhauled to a data center.

Three reasons why there is often substantial state at the edge: you are doing sensor processing for operational reasons that intrinsically requires a lot of state to extract features of interest locally before sending those features upstream; you are aggregating feeds for operational reasons at the edge from various sensor platforms also at the edge to apply analysis across them; the edge platforms need to retain data for a specified period of time for regulatory, auditing, forensic, etc reasons.

Not every edge case is like this and my sample is biased, but beefy boxes at the edge to avoid data backhaul are not that uncommon.
SVGs are how I first got in to learning JavaScript seriously.

However after months of slowly building my JS/SVG skills, I found out that no SVG renderer renders the shapes with mathematical accuracy.

And that was the first time I hit the learning curve known as “floating point precision”. I’ve since run in to so many of the other programming learning curves (like timezones! And how did everyone agree to taint the integrity of the unix epoch?), but I digress.

While the field of programming can be frustrating in it’s imprecision it’s also 100% worth learning, and SVG+CSS+JS is a wildly powerful mix that flies under the radar far too often.

> Which architecture’s memory model is more restrictive is not always easy to tell.

If I understand correctly, the guarantees requested by the code are already implicitly fulfilled by x86_64, but mapping them to AArch64 requires inserting machine instructions that actually give stronger guarantees than requested by the code (and than provided by x86_64). Since the code actually needs those stronger guarantees (but didn’t request them), it fails on x86_64 while working on AArch64. AArch64 is thus only more “restrictive” in the sense that it isn’t able to map the weaker guarantees in the way x86_64 is able to.

I’d say the main lesson is that the C++-level memory instructions may translate to stronger guarantees for a target platform with a nominally weaker memory model than another target platform. That is, the actual guarantees of compiled code aren’t necessarily monotonic with the strength of the memory model of a target platform.

I think that's also something that will be eventually be irrelevant.

Right now it's standard for productivity of a person to be the driver or benchmark of an economy, but once you can automate a process so completely that there is no human involved in it then you can scale infinitely regardless of population, even if it stagnates or decreases.

Raw resources aren't a exactly limited thing in the solar system, not on our scales anyway.

it depends on if the retro itself is rigid or not

many times retros are done in the same fashion:

1. everyone writes their pain points

2. everyone writes what went well (this is usually ignored)

3. everyone votes on the pain points

4. take the top 3 and discuss

5. write up some todo for the top 3

---

the above looks good on paper, but in reality many times a free flowing discussion is much more productive, and this can be done by just normal team meetings to discuss such issues
Yeah, that's fair. I guess "Effective retros are essential" would be more accurate. It's just like any other step of the process: if the retro isn't working, figure out a different way to get the feedback. Nothing needs to be set in stone. You pick a starting point (i.e. Scrum + Retros) and make changes until things work as well as you need them to.
Q: What is that diagramming font? I really like how approachable/readable it is.
Why? Propellant is relatively light in an NTR system as far as I'm aware. I am also assuming that making a nuclear ship aerodynamic would be unfeasible (it will likely be long and only structurally reinforced longitudinally).
But not everyone can have every thought at the right time, and our thoughts compound on each other.
