Isn't MySQL 5.7 is a bit outdated?

Regarding slowness - i'm curious, how that's the problem - from my understanding on local dev env datasets are small and even 6x times slower (say what is 1 ms on production be 6 ms on your machine) shouldn't be any issue? Can you provide some examples? (I may need to run DB locally for tests one day, getting prepared)
That is not true: Catholic opposition made them stop. Catholics were also the first and most vocal to criticize heliocentricism of its heretical nature.
In well written modern C++ there are rarely memory allocations outside of STL containers. I have worked on big embedded projects that only use unique pointers in very few locations, you can do a lot of stuff without using the heap if you really want.
Being physically lazy is the point? Your examples all describe things that help with daily routines by doing things faster, efficiently (for the users perspective) and often perform the task better.
> Why can't we have a consumer organization that protects us from having to buy stuff that we don't want.

You don't have to buy stuff you don't want.

You just can't buy the stuff you do want without it being bundled with stuff you don't want - the manufacturers have decided there's no market for it.

Evidently it's more profitable to persuade a large fraction of people that they are “consumers”, whose lives are a series of branded commercial experiences, than it is to cater to the unlucrative number of people who object.

As ever, the problem is consumerism.
Soft foods cause crooked teeth. Ancestral humans ate raw tubers and other very chewy things that exercised their jaws, and the growing human body needs this resistance/exercise. If you look at modern hunter-gatherer tribes with traditional diets, they have a far lower rate of crooked teeth we'd solve with braces than the developed world.

Sterile environments/too-low pathogenic load causes allergies. The immune system expects a base-rate of infection; if it doesn't see that, it upregulates. Allergies are a first-world disease; they're far less prevalent in less developed countries, and you even see the effect in immigrants- their allergy rates go up after a few years of living in a developed country.
Bartok also did this in his Mikrokosmos - I used them to relearn piano and it was very entertaining to (re-)'learn' piano solely though modernish/Hungarianish music. I wouldn't personally have wanted it for my first attempt at learning piano, but as someone experienced already, it was pretty great!
Some Catholic theologians criticised but the church did not denounce the theory for some time
Not quite - GP cites the spectre of Tesla nearly going bust to imply that Musk helped achieve the opposite (extremely healthy company) via dubious, ideally criminal means. It's not entirely based on that, but the implication is there.

Put simply, if Musk only made one controversial call, this comment thread wouldn't exist. The many controversial calls cannot be easily disentangled.
The author doesn't say which beliefs of his were mocked, and he doesn't say what religion he follows in this post, other than "Christian Mysticism." But in another post[1] he says

> The Gnostic gospels were what made the most sense to me so they formed the basis of my belief. That search never stopped and eventually led me to found Cool Magdalene. A cult led by Miss Kitty Stryker. That project is partly an artistic statement, partly a for-profit religious life coaching company and partly an attempt to build diverse communities of respect and dignity based around family in all of its senses.

I don't know if this is what OP was strawmanning about with his "Santa Claus" quip, but I think it's fair to say "founding a for-profit self-described cult / art project" doesn't have quite the same rich tradition as Christianity or other mainstream religions, and might be more deserving of skepticism.

A better question is why would they change?
By preventing you from going to work (eg NYC) or using public transport (Canada) or entering public spaces (much of the world.).

It absolutely stinks that people were compelled to take the vaccine despite the odds of harm from the actual disease.
Can you provide any evidence that they actually went after Kharkiv in earnest other than blowing up some military targets? They'll probably eventually take that city as it is historically and majority Russian.

As for the (retrofitted) T-62s, those are mostly given to the Donboss militias and a perfect tank to use in the already conquered rear. They are still armor and they still function. US also runs some old gear if you didn't know.

As for the dud rates, I'd expect that for older missiles. Their new stuff (which is more advanced than anything the US has) is less than 10%. And it's clear they're not running out any time soon despite western media claims two months ago that their weapons stocks were days from depletion.

On the other hand, the dud rate for western supplied Javalins and NLAWs is around 80% as reported by Ukrainian military personnel. And it's actually now illegal for Ukrainian troops to publicly criticize the effectiveness of western supplied weapons.

Let's stop projecting and be honest about what's actually going on.
It made more sense before the title was changed.

While all of this may be true, this doesn't explain why stereoscopic vision wouldn't work where a LIDAR would. Both provide identical geometrical information and neither has anything to do with AI. Neither tells you approximate weights of things, or judge based on human experience how things might move in the future depending on their type (tree vs car), or anything like that. And if you swap one system providing geometric information for another one that provides identical information, I don't see how this makes the cognition of any AI later in the pipeline magically any better, no matter how good or bad that AI was previously.

However, one benefit that long baseline stereoscopic vision (for example with cameras in corners of the front windscreen) would have compared to a short baseline stereoscopic vision (a human) or a point measurement (LIDAR) that could be relevant for safety would be the ability to somewhat peek around the vehicle in front of you from either side. Admittedly, this may overall be a small-ish benefit relative to a LIDAR but it does provide strictly more information (slightly) than a LIDAR would.
Not really, since coffee is a mixture of dozens of MAOIs and other bio- and psychoactives. Some of them have been hypothesized to cause anxiety and depression. Some of them are also neurotoxic.
I find it ironic that an inanimate corporate entity like Google, which enjoys many rights of personhood, is making decisions about whether an AI is sentient.
Bela Bartok! What an interesting human!
> we implicitly trust and idolize the machines

I think it's a strawman. Nobody I know idolizes machines. It's abundantly clear that software has its limitations and machines are only as good as they are programmed.

The examples that you are giving are usually treated as bugs. Nobody in their right mind would say that a somebody is not a person because they haven't been detected by some image recognition software. Everyone would just agree that that software sucks at recognition and should be fixed.

I'm not saying that they programs are always achieving the goal of fulfilling users' goals, but this is the general direction in which the programs are developed. Even if you are exclusively driven by greed, usually the best way to sell your program is to make it useful.

And yes, you can give examples where the best way of monetizing your program would incentivize doing something which is not user-friendly, but ultimately, if your program is not useful at its core, it will not be used, so making it useful is your first priority.

I don't know about shortsightedness but for instance obesity is a legitimate epidemic. Whipe it is behavioural it is well known that social groups influence each other on this, so like a virus it spreads between people. The same may be true for shortsightedness too to some degree.
I couldn’t agree more. Why the author would want their long-form writing to resemble a concatenated tweet thread is beyond me; do they assume a short attention span in their audience?

Epidemiologists study health at the population level in general, not just communicable diseases. So at least in that sense the "epidemi-" prefix isn't limited to infection. Is there any better term for a health issue with rapidly increasing prevalence?

A dictionary of medicine from 1882 suggests that common usage of the word has become more narrow, not less, and that there was some level of debate about the technical meaning [1]. Stedman's Medical Dictionary (1920) gives a more modern definition, "a disease attacking nearly simultaneously a large number of people", without restriction to infectious diseases.

The author fails to define their use of the term "oppression". Instead this work seems more focused on "ruthlessness", which is also hinted at by the url. In that direction, it's interesting.

I agree with the main points brought forward. Machine are indeed ruthless, and it's certainly interesting to see how that ruthlessness is used to achieve more human ends. How machines are put in as an intermediary to shield the humans behind the curtain from accusations of inhumanity. I think it may mirror systems in general. Where any large enough organization of people takes on a mind of it's own, and thereby becomes more ruthless and less human than any of the individuals making it function.

It may be an inherent property of systems, of meat or metal, that they oppress their surroundings to achieve their goals.

I first encountered this idea in John Gall's excellent book _Systemantics_. It's worth a read.

Without specifics, I have no clue what you are talking about re horse blinders.

I have greatly benefited from the policies I specified, so I do not see why I should view both as “bad in different ways”. I do work to support ranked choice voting so that I can get more than 2 choices at the polls, but until then, I work with what I have.
Agree man! Lockdown was just really unjustified on society.

It made no sense for such a minor disease which I'm sure would have been dismissed as flu 60 years ago.

I don't know what caused this overreaction, sure for 30-40 days but this thing has devastated billions of lives, left millions jobless and ruined an entire generation.

It's sometimes necessary to have pandemics and diseases like this to control the population of society.

Europe practically had a renaissance after the black death.
For inactive people, it's probably also best to start with easier exercises that don't involve as much balance or strength. Your tendons and joints take time to adapt to exercise, in fact they take longer than muscles to adapt.

For example, some pushup regression (e.g. pushup with your knees on the floor) followed by regular pushups builds arm and shoulder strength/stability. This would make learning the handstand much easier and safer later on.
Yes, I agree with you and it is where EU can make a real difference. Encouraging a shift in mindset and culture alongside an open and democratic technology landscape.

Also liking the concept of 'Exit to Community' a lot. Along with that there are many trends towards more sustainable forms of business with cooperatives of all kinds and coop-of-coops, that are promising in how they re-empower people.
Russia has incompaciated the second largest military (a true near-peer) in just a handful of months. Like it or not, their tactics have worked. Read up on military feints and Maskarovka, nobody is better than this than the Russians: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_military_deception

You are commenting on a project named "fire" with windows going up in flames.... That is like commenting on scifi movies that you shouldn't be able to hear explosions in space: True, but why bring that up?
No, it is useless on VAG cars in Norway. You can’t drive at the speed limit at 110 and suddenly have the car slow down to 80 because of “reasons”. That increases the risk of being rear-ended for no reason, even though the car behind you is supposed to be attentive

Granted, you seem to be able to disable it in the menus, but if you rent/use car sharing services, this may not be obvious to you
Pay per view would add exactly the kind of incentives that would be disastrous. It's important that public broadcasters are (comparatively) free from commercial and political pressures, that's the only way to execute the mission they have been created for.

He funded another team to work on the same problem many teams had been working on for a long time, and he wasn't bringing anything significantly new to the mix. Maybe that qualifies as a moonshot but it's not what I normally think of for the positive connotations of the word. Tesla should have had a better handle on timescale.
You're thinking like a westerner as are so many other armchair generals. Russia military doctrine has more tolerance for loosing people and equipment if that helps achieve their end goal.
Youtube titles with CAPITALIZED words make me sad. I don't want to click on any video with a title like that, but creators are incentivized to use those titles because they get more views. Some fine videos end up with those titles and I would miss out on some good stuff if I refuse to click on clickbait titles.

> everyone is equally competent and motivated at everything and these developers are wasting their time and should be making sure app icons are consistent.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I feel like you are downplaying the importance of the UX, and that's kind of my point. We talk about "making sure app icons are consistent" like it's a demeaning thing to do.

I don't think they should be making anything but what they want to work on. I do wonder, however, what's the use case for what they are building because, honestly, my first reaction was "wow, impressive", followed by "I remember compiz doing this 15 years ago and it didn't stick".

And finally, I was piggybacking on this post to talk about the more general issue of Linux desktops never looking as sharp as the proprietary options.

Sorry, I don't mean to criticize the devs' work, it was more of a general though about the "state of Linux on the desktop".

Is there such a thing as a Winamp VS Aimp2 war? Once I discovered Aimp back then, when I still used Windows on a daily basis, I never switched back to Winamp. Aimp seemed so much more refined and organized. Wondering, if most people, who reminisce about Winamp, even know about Aimp.

The author eventually contemplates the "good" aspects of "machine ruthlessness" (e.g. "cryproanarchist technologies"), but ultimately warns against the "oppressive" potential inherent in all machines.

The main problem with this argument IMO is that it equates oppression with the kind of unwavering ruthlessness that is the way of the machines: they will do as they are programmed - there are no exceptions (unless such exceptions are programmed in of course, which is not discussed).

This is however not the usual definition of oppression, which is normally conceived mostly as "unjust discrimination" [0] - which is really the polar opposite of such undiscriminating "decisions" by the computers. I.e. everyone is treated equally, which is an ideal under the rule of law, the alternative opens up for corruption where the wealthy (for example) in court is treated with more leniency than the poor - or vice versa.

As it stands the text can be read a veiled criticism of a "rule of law"-system backed by the state. And as such, a modern take on an age-old discussion that leaves little leeway for common ground: a leeway that allows for a little bit of this, a little bit of that which is how things tend to end up in actual life.

The reason that reversals are so important is because of the inherently naive and insecure way that digital transactions like credit card payments work. You have to give out your credentials for every payment! And then hope they don't decide to steal from you.

In the context of cryptocurrency this is ludicrous. With cryptocurrency you never give away your key, you just use it to sign a transaction. It's amazing that people generally haven't picked up on that basic advantage of cryptocurrency.

Private medicine increases the capacity of the system in other countries (including mine).

On a personal level, this is why I always have a bit of cash on me. I have a couple of notes in my wallet, and one off those cash capsules on my key ring. I can and do pay using my phone but I always have real cards with me.

What a great idea. When I buy a $70,000 car, I would like to use it as a robotaxi so that random people can use it as a bathroom or a diaper changing station, and test the sharpness of their EDC knives on the seats. Perhaps Elon can add some AI feature that detects vandalism and responds with a bleating noise.

I would find this very rewarding and lucrative.
The thing about computers is they tend to have very limited context. If you submit a document late by a second, how's it to know that your whole life depends on it?

A human doesn't have context boundaries at all (that's how humor often work) and that's how the guy at the desk allows you to hand in the docs late. He knows it makes no difference to the bureaucracy and a big difference to you.

What might happen is we develop AI that can bridge different contexts, but you quickly run into the same issues that people run into: what interest takes precedence?
