0.3 seconds would not be surprising. The calculator you're using doesn't take into account:

1. The speed of light in a fiber is only 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum (look it up)

2. Internet routes are far from a straight line, especially for international communication. The network distance is a multiple of the physical distance

3. Most protocols require more than one roundtrip per communication (because most protocols are implemented on local networks and the designers never notice extra roundtrips creeping in)

The last of these is very unfortunate but true
> Which is why punitive fines ought to scale with income and/or wealth

That really seems like it depends on what the damage a particular action causes.

Property destruction, for example, probably shouldn't scale. If I, accidentally, destroy your shoes, I need to buy you a new pair of shoes (and maybe a bit extra for your inconvenience). The goal is to make the victim whole again.

For things with the potential for loss of life, the goal is primarily deterrence, I think that's where things make more sense to start scaling.
For example, the specification framework for the C language by Andronick et al8 does not support "references to local variables, goto statements, expressions with uncontrolled side-effects, switch statements using fall-through, unions, floating point arithmetic, or calls to function pointers". If someone does not want to use a language which provides for bounds checks, due to a lack of some sort of "capability", then we cannot imagine that they will want to use any subset of C that can be formally modelled!

that said this isn't an essay about safety, it's about the emotional appeal of a sort of false simplicity that some programmers are prone to falling for and pointing out the inherent inability of a couple projects (in synecdoche for a whole shit ton of other projects) to live up to promises of that mirage.
Ukraine and HK are very different of course. But the outcome is the same, people who were previously free were invaded, put off into prison for things like saying they publicly disagreed and wearing the wrong color shirt in Hong Kong.
They had a falling out with MobileEye, who provided the AP 1.0 hardware. It never used LIDAR. Tesla doesn’t use LIDAR because you need to solve vision anyway. And once you solve that, LIDAR makes no more sense.

(You need to solve vision anyway, because for that object, of which LIDAR tells you is exactly 12.327 ft away, you still need to figure out whether it is a trashcan or a child. And if it is a child, whether it is about to jump on the road or walking away from the road. LIDAR does not tell you these things. It can only tell you how far they are away. It is not some magical sensor which Tesla is just too cheap to employ.)
Also, don't agree to the Terms of Service when prompted. This should in theory give extra protection against ads, etc.

There's no nagging on a Samsung when you do this and use a Chromecast.
Yes, there is certainly terminology ambiguity on what "suburb" is.

To me the huge lots, big setbacks of houses away from street and major forest cover, isn't a suburb. The new link you posted seem more like farmland, not rural housing.

To me a suburb is where houses or townhouses (but no highrises) are packed next to each other in small lots.

But yes, it would be useful to have more specific definitions of housing densities instead of dumping everything that's not farmland or Manhattan into "suburb".
I know this will sound negative but I think the appropriate answer is that you are very misguided.

One thing to realize is that rapid technology deployment and improvements mean we must adapt our approach to learning and problem solving if we want to be effective.

With the internet and exponential increase in software development tools, the amount of information is massive. And of course, we now have Google and Stackoverflow etc. which are extremely effective ways to solve problems or very quickly refresh your memory on the exact details that are relevant.

If you operate as if those things haven't changed, then you will not be effective.
Uxn32, a full Uxn implementation for Win32, already implements this kind of filesystem sandbox, and has for months. I don't think the author did any research, and instead focused on research-y aesthetics.
> If you read the report, you will realize that NHTSA is considering requiring Tesla to do better driver attention monitoring, or to improve alerting

If you read the report, you will realize that it says nothing about NHTSA might do if the kind of defect they are focussing on is confirmed.

It is certainly the kind of defect where it is plausible that better attention monitoring and alerting might be at least a partial mitigation, but that's about all you can reasonably conclude on that from from the report.

Among the Europeans I know living in the UK, the NHS (the system - not the excellent staff) is a laughing stock. There is a better way, but I worry that the public of the UK are so militantly resistant to any change to the NHS’ structure that it’ll never be changed.

Crazy! This reinforces the idea of not agreeing to the Terms of Service when prompted. I've found you can easily avoid doing that on a Samsung.
Semiconductor shortage: How the automotive industry can succeed
I think your question "how do I remember stuff I don't use often" is not a useful question to answer. Why do you need to remember things you don't use often? You don't.

Memory is not binary: you will have easier or harder access to things in your long-term memory. Those that you access more often, get easier. Those that you build up more complex structures around (understanding concepts underlying those concepts) make it easier to retrieve.

The more you learn and connect information, and generate it (by writing summaries, applying that information, etc.), the stronger that network of information becomes, which means that when you "forget" it (find it hard to retrieve), a quick skim about that topic will bring the whole network of information back to your conscious awareness.

If you want to build better knowledge networks in your brain, you have to (re-)generate that knowledge in different forms. Pick a "node" of that knowledge that's a little fuzzy and learn more about it to clarify it. Draw diagrams of how that knowledge fits together.

Ultimately, constant retrieval of information, with restructuring and clarifying, will make it easier to get back when you need it.

I have a Samsung Device from 2021 and an LG one from like 2016 or so the LG I never hooked up to the internet, but the Samsung I keep online due to not having a streaming device for it, and maybe I'm just not noticing any but I have no ads. I also keep it plenty up to date.

You must not be in the United States then. Pretty much guaranteed every phone number in the US has received at least one “automobile extended warranty” voicemail.
Actually posts like this are very useful - the more of them they are, the higher the chance that something will actually change.

I'm tired of billion dollar companies that have achieved their scale by literally hooking us on their free services and have zero interest in us as real people, and then don't give a flying fuck if their shitty automated processes decide to unperson someone.
You mention sports. I don't think most sports have a 10x difference between the worst and best professional athletes. Being 10 times faster or 10 times stronger is beyond human limits.

Sounds like their heuristic for impact is wrong then.

Could you clarify on the “useless” bit? Or, I feel like the constitution is doing what it sets out to (provincial/federal powers, seat allocation, Charter rights, etc.), but it’s not necessarily easy to modify. What would make it useful in your eyes?
More important than any sophistry or arguments about the nuances of the agreements around HK is that China has been crushing freedom in HK. That's the problem. Stop doing that. China won't stop because that's the way they remain in power. China can't use its usual excuse that "we brought millions out of poverty through our rule" in Hong Kong, because they were already pretty well off there. The HK economy is going backwards.
I'm not aware of one. I was thinking that you could roll your own, just as your Varvara computer defines a graphics device on top of uxn. You'd still gain the benefits of using an existing language.
>I am having trouble finding the source on google again but I remember reading about some tv manufacturers automatically scanning for and connecting to open internet connections to update and upload telemetry data even when no Wi-Fi network was provided.

To my knowledge I can't find any reliable first-hand accounts of this happening. It's all pseudonymous internet commenters claiming it's happening, or tech news websites reposting said claims. For a phenomena that should be so easy to reproduce (all you need is a smart TV plus a laptop with wireshark), the absence of reliable evidence should be used as evidence against its existence. It's in the same category as "facebook is secretly eavesdroping on your conversations".
It probably works, but it prompts me to install Rosetta, so I clicked cancel, as I've been trying to avoid that on principle. I'm not sure what principle exactly...

After issues using various (cheap) USB 1Gbps ethernet adapters and an Intel MBP, I ended up getting one that uses a RTL8156B and seems ok. These are 2.5Gb adapters that use NCM driver so shouldn't cause high CPU.

I don't have 2.5Gb network equipment but have tested with iperf between and get around like 900 Mbps and no high CPU, unlike noticeable CPU usage with the cheap 1Gbps USB adapters that use ECM drivers

Artists get asked to do free or barely paid work all the time in my experience. Often because the person asking doesn't want to pay a fair rate for it. Often the person doesn't take a direct no and keeps nagging them. When someone nags you about something for the five thousandth time in your life you tend to be pretty pissy about it. It's a necessary defense mechanism to preserve ones mental well being.
I agree, but would recommend his video series to beginners. The books themselves are less important than the exercises in the book, which unfortunately sort of demand that you have the book because they refer back to them. But the package of (exercises, video lectures, book), in descending order of importance maybe, I think is a worthy recommendation. Ultimately, the book is the only part of that you actually have to "acquire", so it might be ok that it doesn't stand on its own.
The Single Writer Principle is probably the most important principle for concurrent systems design. Often it’s best to design wholly around it.

In this case, I doubt there are any writers at all.
TBH the OP post seems to be highlighting that "when we forget history, we're doomed to repeat it."

Not trying to be ageist but a younger dev wouldn't have context on a time when the industry had timestamps as versions and the core reason why SemVer became preferred, as you describe above.

This wasn't a business model that was a factor in the launch of 1080p high def TVs or the subsequent fall in prices.

I don't even recall it being much of a factor in the launch of 4K TVs which launched at typically very high prices and begun falling in price without ads becoming a big thing.

I think this is just unacceptable greed.

The math makes this quite implausible for a random scenario. Perhaps a toll collector could introduce the right systematics to make the scenario not ridiculous on it's face.

Imagine pointing a laser at something more than five feet distant the size of an eyeball and then getting another laser to point at the same spot at the same time. And then another five. And those lasers are all attached to cars moving and the eyeball is moving too...
This is besides my point. Again, I'm not asking for what these projects can mean for people in theory. We've been doing blockchain for almost 15 years, we're pumping megatons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year to feed proof of work algorithms, by now we should have something concrete to show for it.

What do we have to show for it? I'm asking for concrete data, or even just some anecdotes. You list some projects and how these projects could, in principle, help people. How many people are helped by them (even indirectly by improving access to traditional services)? Is this number proportional to the cost of running these systems?
Yes, those practices absolutely shouldn't apply for self driving cars. Good luck regression testing how a system change impacts the AI handling of every edge case of traffic.

Right, but that cuts both ways.

As a consumer you want due process and fairness, protection from arbitrary punishment etc.

You want trust for all the things you mentioned, those are reasonable goals. They do come at a cost (the system could be abused), and you wouldnt want to add more trust points unless you were getting something of value out of them
I'm not sure. If someone in a nice suit came up to me and asked me for food because they're dizzy and haven't eaten, I'd be both perplexed but I'd probably actually take them and their problem seriously and try to help them. Call an ambulance or if it's just mild hypoglycemia buy them some candy because they forgot their wallet or whatever. I'm pretty sure I don't treat the homeless the same way, though maybe I should.

> The AppleTV he recommended to use in its place has ads too I believe, through sponsored app placements

This really is the most nitpicking anti-Apple comments I’ve seen in a while. A friend of mine had a TV that would randomly interrupt films and programs he was watching (even in the middle of an action sequence) and show an ad that was inserted by the TV software. Luckily only happened for about 6 months - I’m guessing viewer reaction was too much for this ‘feature’ to survive.

To see the ‘ad’ you’re referring to, you’d have to go into the Apple AppStore, search for an app, go to the result screen and maybe see a small section at the top of that view with a sponsored application.

Algebra I and some trig, at least to get pretty deep into a first college course syllabus and get enough exposure to see where you want to go with it. That "10th grade" level of math, for instance, is actually enough to get you pretty far into the practical applications of linear algebra in cryptography, but it's not enough to get you all the way to machine learning.
Sad, but true. NHS is the new religion of the U.K. Remember the mindless banging of pots and pans in the street for them? When quite a lot of the hospitals were empty? I can vouch for this because I worked in the biggest hospital in Brum.

Anyway, what am I saying, of course socialist works, were just not doing it right! All hail the NHS!
You seem to keep trying to change the subject to "should there be tickets in general?", which nobody is saying there shouldn't. The topic is "should there be a ticket required for every change, which requires tickets for updating typos in internal documentation, because that requires a change and you propose that a ticket be required for every change. That is stupid, to require a ticket for that. These other examples are not stupid to use tickets to track them. But they aren't the subject of the thread.
Unfortunately most if not all of the displays I see here don't meet the minimum baseline at any price. I don't see any OLED options, and none of them appears to advertise support for Dolby Vision HDR. HDR probably has no point for advertising purposes, and OLED might actually be a negative if it reduces the light output capability of the screen. You can't use the full contrast range in a brightly let room anyway.

These days you can get a 65 inch LG OLED TV for under $1500. Sure, you can infer that it's $500 cheaper than it "should" be because of their expected advertising earnings over the lifetime of the device (although that seems really high), but I see no "dumb display" options even in the $3000 range.
You can't do this today. Laws. The private ponds that you see are grandfathered.

My Chromecast automatically turns my TV on and to the Chromecast input whenever I cast to it.

This is when it's plugged into the HDMI ARC port on a Samsung TV, which I think is a CEC port as well.

https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/7199917

> What is CEC?

> CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allows for HDMI devices to be controlled with one remote control.

> If you try to cast to a CEC supported TV while on a different source input (local TV channel, Cable, USB), source input will automatically switch to the HDMI port where the Chromecast is connected. Certain TVs will also power on (when powered off) when trying to cast to the Chromecast.
From the ones I've witnessed it's pure focus and endurance.

They are intelligent but so are many of their less impressive peers. They do have problem solving skills but most developers develop the same problem solving vocabulary after few years. They however don't chit chat much when they work, don't wander away to unrelated activities (like hanging out over here in worktime) and if disrupted recover their focus quickly.
Vaccines are by far the most likely cause. Consider this graph of people claiming disability benefits in the USA vs the vaccine rollout:

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_...

Note that it correlates with the start of the vaccine rollout, not the start of COVID. The idea expressed above that it's all "long COVID" doesn't make much sense given that fact.

At this point it's very hard to see how it can be under-reported COVID deaths because Omicron mutated to become so much milder. The vaccines however generate large quantities of the more potent Wuhan 2019 spike.
There is no viable heuristic because everyone has an incentive to game the system. Even managers. "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"

The closest one is short term improvements tied to revenue and measured using ab testing. But even those get gamed.
You and I suspect half the country.

During the 90s I remember there was this big fuss when Gateway 2000 was introducing the first "smart/PC" TV to the market.

Steve Jobs went on record as saying something along the lines of "Not only will it not work out, it shouldn't, because TV is the place where people head to at the end of the day to shut their brains off, not figure out even more ways to interact with tech."

It made sense then and like Steve Jobs said, the Gateway smart/PC TV turned out to be a major flop at the time despite tech mags raving about its introduction.

It would seem, unfortunately, that the approach manufacturers seem to have taken in modern times is one of "WRONG! We'll MAKE it work by shoving the approach down consumers' throats by making sure ALL TVs insist on spending over a half hour pushing buttons before people can sit down to watch something and relax."
Is this realistically now a problem for regulators (FTC, FCC, etc.) or does our industry stand a chance of correcting itself?
