"Sequels" are the opposite of "just spend ten times as much money to make ten times more" - in that exponential-growth VC-model type strategy, you'd need to be spawning new franchises in parallel so you could have sequels to ALL of them at the same time, not just wait one by one. Sequels are "do the same thing again" not "be able to do more of them at once."

For every MCU there's a Fantastic Four standalone or a Universal Monsters Universe or a Percy Jackson or a Golden Compass or Narnia or other never-to-be-finished would-be franchises... or even just a Star Wars: Solo on the "hmm this isn't paying off after all actually even if it's not a bomb" front. And those were all existing IP, even!
That's not what the ruling was though. And it makes sense. "If" a fetus is a viable human at some point, then claiming privacy when ending its life wouldn't pass muster any more than privately killing someone in your basement would. It's not a matter of privacy. Privacy has nothing to do with it, which was their point.

Roe was always on shaky ground and it's surprising it took 50 years to get overturned. Meanwhile, these issues can and should be solved through legislation, not cutesy legal arguments in front of judges.

As someone who sided with the parents and feels it’s our responsibility to care for all children and raise them well, whether we are parents or not - I still think the saddest piece is that people are still not having honest heart to hearts in their companies about these vital issues. I happen to believe that many parents have a lot to offer our companies. By taking care of them and listening to their needs we can better retain them. Likewise single people without kids have needs too. If we take care of then and listen well we can retain them better. But hopefully not every aspiration must be motivated by personal success. Hopefully there’s some inherent value in a thriving community too .

>"“We have a pro-growth mind-set here,” said San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo.

>"Developer Westbank Corp., of Vancouver, British Columbia, for example, recently began work on the first phase of a development that calls for 3 million square feet of office space and 2,000 to 2,500 residential units, according to Andrew Jacobson, the firm’s head of U.S. development."

Using a generous 200 sq. foot per employee which was roughly the pre-pandemic average would be 5,000 employees for every million square foot of office space.[1] So 3 million sq. foot of office space would be conservatively be about 15,000 employees and they are going to build 2,500 residential units. I think these numbers nicely sum up that "pro-growth mind-set" nicely. Perhaps the mayor could look and see if there is another city close by that had a similar skew of of lots of tech office space and not enough housing and how that worked out for them.

> This is the real version of the trolley problem

An autonomous vehicle has to protect its occupants at the expense of everything else (or, at the very least, appear to do so in a convincing manner), because otherwise no one will step inside.

(At the very least, if a machine is going to sacrifice me or my family to save a third party, I need to know what hierarchy it is following, and how it was decided and by whom.)

But what this incident seems to illustrate is that it's difficult for a self-driving car to share the road with human drivers, and behave like a human -- meaning, allowing human drivers anticipate what it will do.

I drive a motorcycle and a bike in Paris; the reason I'm still alive is because after so many years of this I can tell what all the other cars will do at all times, before they know it themselves.

But an autonomous vehicle that would behave so differently from a human driver as to be unpredictable, would be terrifying.
It looks like there may be a typo with the estimated year of deployment in Ontario: the estimate is likely for 2028, not 2018.

The article was published on July 11, 2022, but opens with: "Saskatchewan and Ontario have each chosen GE-Hitachi as the supplier of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs), which could be deployed in the Prairie province by the 2030s and in Ontario by 2018." Then, the article concludes with: "GEH and Ontario plan to construct up to four 300 MWe small module reactors, with the first coming online by 2028."

A separate source by The Canadian Press [0] also reflects an estimate of 2028 for Ontario: "The governments of Ontario, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Alberta have put forward a nuclear plan that they say will transition them toward cleaner energy. The provinces’ energy ministers agreed today to a joint plan for small modular reactors, with the first 300-megawatt plant to be built in Darlington, Ont., by 2028."

> estimates are not actual costs

On matters such as those (vast, gov-funded, lengthy and intrinsically new projects) largely under-estimating seems way (way!) more probable to me.

> Nobody has successfully deployed a hydrogen grid storage facility

Indeed (this is a work in progress, and may indeed not be possible), however the industry already uses huge amounts of H (therefore short-term storage for intermittency compensation is possible), and more and more vehicles do so (therefore a quite large distribution network for intermittent consumers is possible).

> France can build more nuclear plants

France already tries to builds a new nuclear reactor ("EPR") since 2007, it is way over budget and over schedule.

As for renewables intermittency: I answered in my previous post.

> While France uses 9% fossil fuels Germany, the biggest renewables stan, uses fossil fuels

This comparison seems absurd to me.

France launched its nuclearization in the 1970's, while very rich ("30 Glorieuses)", industrial, and it was a strategic case (continuation of the "atomic bomb" program and therefore benefiting from military credits + oil crisis), and the need (electricity consumed) was 3 times lower than it is now, using reactors existing since the 1950's. It then took 25 years to build the nuclear fleet.

Germany isn't as (relatively) rich and industrial as it was in the 1970's (after many crisis since the 1990's), there is a quite strong "the climate crisis isn't really a strategic top-priority form most governments" (even in Germany) argument, really launched its transition in 2011, and it uses very-quickly evolving technologies.

> biomass (which gets a green label but is often even more polluting than fossil fuels)

This is more nuanced: some are rather clean.
Agreed.

People point at statements like "it just needs to drive better than the average driver" and "well lots of idiots drive".

On the flip side, lots of intelligent people with other skills do not have the confidence & comfort to drive outside of their towns local roads, or at all.

There are problem sets for ML like quant trading or phone album image tagging where you just need to be right 51% of the time to make money / be novel & useful.

We've seen plenty of examples showing ML is not appropriate for life&death problems like being the primary reviewer of diagnostic imaging for cancer screening.

The bar for ML to drive a car is much much higher, and I'm not even sure we have the right sensor suites feeding into the models, not to mention the compute capacity to operate at low enough latency.

Paywall, so apologies if the articles covers this but I couldn’t see it in the sector could read.

I recently finished reading “Why We Sleep” which is an interesting exploration of this topic for those that are curious. Written by a researcher in the area, with call-outs to the actual research and IMO a reasonably measured approach to clarifying the difference between “what we know”, “what we have correlation to believe, but…”, and “what intuition / studies in mice / others has suggested might be true, but…”.

It’s definitely given me a lot to think about with my own life choices.

-Some- realtors will. The best ones won't; they know they're offering you more than Zillow. When I bought, our realtor was constantly hounding the seller's realtor and our own financing company to move the process forward, as well as proactively reaching out to answer our questions and in general help us feel good about the process. She also returned texts and calls promptly, and she had an arrangement with an extremely good independent home inspector, plus pretty much every kind of contractor we could need for improvements; everyone she put us in touch with was amazing. She didn't ask for exclusivity, and she absolutely didn't need it.

Meanwhile in the past when we were looking, a mediocre one tried to get us to sign an exclusivity deal that we'd agree to use him until we chose to cancel (no stipulations there at least, though legally I don't know if he could have, but still, into perpetuity unless we canceled) for -any house in the entire state-.
In my experience the improvement on the unsteadiness would be more in line with getting more sleep. I've had times of poor sleep and unsteadiness is one of the side effects.

It's a relevant mapping for a comparison to Niantic. It's not just a convenient one. "Turn Niantic into Disney (or even EA, if you prefer) in the span of 10 years" is a bad bet for a VC. The argument here is that you can't simply scale the effort to the next hit(s).

"Turn this handful of people into the next Niantic" is a far better bet, but it's not relevant since Niantic was already there! That's the similarity to Hollywood - "let's make a bunch of movies or a bunch of pilots and see which one is the moneymaker." But not many of the production companies behind those shows or movies have gotten 10x more profitable in the future by scaling horizontally.
> I want a language that’s terse for everything. Maybe you could namespace operators.

Haskell and lenses is pretty nice here.
Agreed. This is the best way. Soap on fingers as you described above and laminar flow.

Other methods introduce too much unnecessary complication which don't make the lenses cleaner. Any kind of absorbent material has the potential of depositing tiny fibers or other specs on the lens surface. And air drying potentially leaves behind impurities the from water.
So the idea is to first define some static graphs and then use operators to construct larger (possibly dynamic) graphs? But to define those small static graphs in the first place, you have to either use key-value mappings (how Smalltalk/Javascript does it) or maybe RDF format or something.

Vite is framework agnostic. But angular being too big and too monolith requires large change to move from webpack to vite.

Some folks have attempted it, but not completed vite support.

This is nothing new in angular land. There are multiple third party libraries and framework which support react, vue, svelte and even solid, but not angular.

That’s like saying that battery capacity isn’t really kWh because there’s no real energy storage when they are empty. The unit for energy capacity output is still Watt (or horse power seconds per year or any other unit).

Besides that, those battery cells are charged as part of the production process (though not completely), so I could argue that actual energy is leaving the factory.
it might help if they didn't kill shows a week after they are released so the get the chance to become mainstream hits.
And that’s a good thing. Heavily export-dependent economies such as Germany that have outsized influence on EU’s economic performance need a weak Euro in this time of crisis.
They're likely 'awake' and don't know it between cycles.

I just noticed specific intervals where I'd have a period of wakefulness categorized by the ability to remember the time on the clock when I'd see it. When you sleep your brain is cycling through phases between wakefulness and deep sleep. Between cycles of deep sleep where you're darting your eyes and twitching around, you have periods of semi wakeful sleep.

There are tools that allow you to try an experiment: Use a tool like sleepyti.me and input the time to wake up. Try to time out a single rem cycle for yourself by staying up late without a device in your hand or TV on, and wake up at the desired time. This isn't how I started, but when I saw the app I recognized the cycle immediately. When you wake up, you'll feel more rested than if you woke up at the midway point in one of the cycles, even if it is longer. In my case there's less fog, less agitated state, and quicker boot up time (my term for the time it takes to go from awake to writing code)

If you want to get weird, I'm happy to talk about another sleep cycle I had for a while, but I'm already rambling. The gist of it was many naps, many rems, less cumulative sleep.

That's wild.

Had a similar experience. I'm high anxiety and prone to sleep issues.

Once, I went so long with so little sleep that I started dissociating and having panic attacks.

Trying to sleep, I'd get close to dozing off then be convinced I'd stop breathing and die if I did + get a surge of adrenaline.

You can imagine the vicious cycle. I went to the ER and asked them to knock me out, once I had slept finally I was back to normal thankfully.
I'm asking if you're being serious or not out of concern for the site author. I don't know how much more clear I can be.

If I host hundreds of megabytes of images and get a lot of unexpected traffic I may or may not be hurting, it depends entirely on my setup. On one hand she's a photographer I'm sure she understands a bit about how big images can be. On the other hand she's a photographer and may not be prepared to handle the traffic or be facing a ridiculous bill. If the later was the case I was going to offer to help in some way like donate $5 or something to help cover her bandwidth costs. None of this matters now so whatever.
Cash works for in person transactions. It can work for certain delayed transactions (e.g., prepaid or post-paid remote orders, will-call, layaway), though in almost all cases those are actually transacted by some other mechanism --- vouchers, credit cards, cheques, postal mail orders, or personal / direct credit.

There is an arguable need for an anonymous remote-transaction payment mechanism.

That itself introduces numerous further concerns (none of which TFA addresses):

- Black market, criminal, ransom, or blackmail transactions.

- Refund or chargebacks initiated by the payee for nonfulfillment / fraudulent transaction / substandard product or service.

- Money laundering and tax avoidance.

I grew up in New Zealand.

I never encountered fountain pens until the end of high school.

Visual artworks are images. Here are the first three definitions of "image" I just found:

- a representation of the external form of a person or thing in art. [Google]

- a visual representation of something: such as (1) : a likeness of an object produced on a photographic material, (2) : a picture produced on an electronic display (such as a television or computer screen) [Merriam-Webster]

- a physical likeness or representation of a person, animal, or thing, photographed, painted, sculptured, or otherwise made visible. [Dictionary.com]
The argument is more general than that, though, from the topcomment - "The VC funding model just isn't appropriate for game studios. I'll go even further and extend that to any content business."

That seems obviously not right? If anything, the model in 'content' predates the technology VC business.
That's pure horror, I can't imagine being a researcher and doing this!

> Humans tend not to do that

AI should absolutely mimic the behavior of real (good) drivers.

Although that's not what you're describing here, another problem for AI could result from it knowing more than an average driver; for example, if a high-mounted LIDAR were able to see around corners and let the car decide it's "safe" to do a turn that no human would attempt for lack of visibility, that could cause problems.

(Also, it's surprising that an autonomous car doesn't detect that another car is following it too closely, and slows down appropriately in anticipation. How is this not taken into account.)

All the vision-only maximalists also ignore how insufficient Tesla cameras are compared to your human eyes in terms of resolution, dynamic range and refresh rates.

If you ever review your Tesla Dashcam footage you'll see that you can rarely even make out a license plate. The cameras are not even HD, let alone UHD.

Further the refresh rate is a paltry 36fps.
