The key word is "debts". If you owe a debt to someone, e.g., in a restaurant where you eat first and then pay, they have to accept cash. But in situations where there's no debt, e.g., restaurants where you pay before they give you your food, they can refuse cash.

> Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep" Is Riddled with Scientific and Factual Errors

https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/
The Theranos playbook would be plugging Cruise under the hood and saying it's Autopilot or FSD controlling the car.
Most people I know don't wake up without an alarm after 2-3 of sleep, assuming they were awake for 16-17 hour prior of going to sleep. How did you end up with this approach?
Thanks for continuing this thread. Just to close out this discussion - because I think I might be able to pinpoint where we disagree: did you find the MSNBC was opposed to a Bernie candidacy? I didn't make the same observation, and my position does essentially hinge on "if Bernie is leftist, then MSNBC is leftist."

How to plant a three sisters garden
At my house, we've largely given up on growing "greens" because there are so many edible and tasty weeds that come up all on their own without any help. Our mainstays are chickweed, broad-leaf plantain, violet, dandelion, and lamb's quarters but there are a ton of others (amaranth, galinsoga, dock, burdock...) -- and it's worth noting that many of these were actually brought over by European colonists or were cultivated by Native Americans. They're just thought of as weeds today, but they make a fine salad.

Many of these would be bad to eat in large amounts, but humans are "generalists" -- we're built to eat smaller amounts of a variety of things together. The same is true for a number of our modern cultivated crops; off the top of my head the things in the mustard, spinach, and carrot families are mildly toxic, but we eat moderate amounts of each, so it works out.
Er, that's not really true. Lots of places that have good public transportation are not short on landmass. And the U.S., despite its large landmass, developed its own cities in very dense styles right up until the car became dominant. You can see this in every American town that has a "historic downtown". Prior to the car, the development pattern was large numbers of fairly dense developments, which were internally navigable by streetcar if they were large enough to require it, and which were connected to each other by railroad.

American cities _did_ make large public transit networks in the past - L.A. once had the largest streetcar network in the world - the thing was that it subsidized cars and made preferential rules for cars to the point of bankrupting the alternatives and then ripped them up. Those streetcars also supported lower-density developments on the periphery - "streetcar suburbs" - which today are still valuable and prized places to live because they are far more walkable than your typical cookie cutter car dependent suburb sprouting up today.

The holy grail of food delivery: decent food, delivered reasonably quickly, for the same (or lower) net price as in-person at a sit-down restaurant, without predatory gig economies.

There seem to be one or two key inflections that make this feasible. Examples: (a) autonomous vehicles nuking delivery costs; and/or (b) ghost kitchens to eliminate restaurant overhead.

In light of that... these companies are really just predicting where the ball will be when (a) and/or (b) are commoditized: Capturing market share & distribution now with marginal economics while waiting for one or two key inflections.
Sure, but what I find odd is how crypto gets a large amount of techno-pessimism (among folks like us) that most other "new tech" doesn't? Like most often, when there's a proof of concept that doesn't work exactly right, right now, it pretty much never ends with "oh, well, guess that means it's broken forever and it will never work," which appears to be a prevailing sentiment around crypto.
If the restaurant had signed up for this service then I would feel ethically weird about it; but actually Doordash is trading on the restaurant’s brand without permission so I think it’s ethically fine. My biggest concern is waste of food!
The way I've prepared is to have extra on hand for my less-prepared neighbors. And the way I hear it, a lot of "preppers" do the same. Strength in community.
Eh, looks dated to me. But I had an early one for a while. They're everywhere (at this point I lump 3 & Y together since for all practical purposes they're the same design).

Range is okay, but Tesla overestimates. Mine lost about 1.2 miles of range for every mile driven, and as a practical matter it was more of a 200 mile car than a 300 mile car, unless you really wrung it out. There are a bunch of 300+ mile EVs either on the roads now or releasing in the next few months. The only Tesla that has a range worth bragging about is the 400 mile version of the Model S. I do look forward (hopefully!) to regular cars having that kind of range, instead of just the top end ones.

I personally think Tesla is playing with fire leaving the quality so low. Well over half of all Model 3s have to return for repair within the first month. That's terrible. Recall how long it's taken other domestic manufacturers to regain any kind of reputation for quality, and even then many people will never believe they make good cars. For what a Tesla costs, people have high expectations. They're enjoying fad status right now, and that's great, but there is no shortage of Tesla owners already who've sworn off ever buying another one.
You have a point.

But did Theranos customers were thinking they were a fraud ? Nope - they were getting their blood test results done, although not in a way Theranos advertised.

Of course the Tesla cars are not a fraud - they are actually pretty good - and for a long time they were the only EV out there. But it's no longer a case, and they are just becoming one of the 50 EV car makers out there.

And Elon seems to know it - that's why he's insisting that the entire company insane valuation is tied to FSD, or whatever other futuristic product he can imagine.

What I mean is that it's a fraud because it's an (maybe a bit above) average EV car making company, but it's CEO and the company itself insists it has extremely advance technology and products - which for now, doesn't exist. As a result, it's $ valuation is higher than most other car makers combined.

See also the glymphatic nervous system [1], great example where better scientific theories explain more data. The glymphatic nervous system explains why you can go longer without food or water than you can without sleep, the lack of sufficient sleep impacting mental health, learning, memory, and even age-related cognitive deficits. Sure, there’s individual variability, but sleep is most important activity you must do every day.

I meant that Hollywood has many many original scenario writers that will come up with original ideas, but if they were to magically all disappear tomorrow:

- it could still take any best seller book from the past 5 centuries and make it a script

- it could take any ancient story / non controversial religion gods / legend and turn into a script

- it could autogenerate stories from an AI until something that makes sense comes out and adapt that into a movie

I really think the input part is a solved problem, as long as there is enough talent to make it into a decent movie, and this part is move forgiving of "deja vu" and repeating the same techniques (nobody's gonna throw a fit because the director reused a shooting angle from a previous movie, at most it will be a meh moment)

Rough rules of thumb for battery production that I heard in 2021:

10x increase in world production capacity every five years.

Currently at about 200-300GWh/year. Expect 2-3TWh/year by 2026, and 20-30TWh/year by 2031.

I've had my Tesla on a highway either lose GPS precision and believe I was on an adjacent local road..

It immediately reduced speed from 60mph to 25mph .. aggressively.

This falls into a pattern of Tesla autopilot/NoA where it just doesn't seem to have much memory or foresight.

For example the car is driving itself on the highway, it knows it's been on the highway, for 20 minutes. I am not even in the exit lane, it knows what lane I am in. How could it think I am suddenly on the local road below the highway based solely on the GPS pin movement in the span of a second, without having moved to the exit lane and gone down the exit ramp?

For an example of lack of foresight - the car will happily speed towards an obvious semi-distant slowdown right until it needs to aggressively break from 60mph down to 30mph as it approaches following distance of the nearest car. I also find it can get really weird in stop&go traffic, not easing into speed, down to a stop very well as if it has only GO or STOP.
You can get a self driving car ride and sleep in the back in Arizona, from Waymo. If you're on a special list, it sounds like you can do it in SF today with Cruise. Your claim is manifestly false.

Makes sense. Fortunately, scale is less of a problem for the autolabeler, so they can put a lot of processing power on this step. But yeah, they will need human labelers for the edge cases where the model is unsure. I wish Tesla would publish their results so we could understand what they are doing and how much it is improving.
I think it’s not as bad as it removes many of the worst elements, but I also think there is a question of how limited/incidental the surveillance is of other people: e.g. I think there is a difference between picking up people on the sidewalk on the 20ft or so directly in front of your house, vs having the camera also pickup wide angle view of the whole street and all of your neighbor’s comings and goings.

I was looking through the Windows 95-like desktop screenshots and it reminded me of everything I hated about Windows and why I exclusively used Linux during that time.

I still mostly do, but the laptop I'm using right now has Windows 10 on it (for now), and I don't even mind.

Anyway, I wish I knew about your project back then. The Motif look is so much nicer. It doesn't have those garish strong colours all over the place. And the widgets are more familiar.

Modern desktops are still better than either option (you even basically say as much on Github) but your project was certainly solid, and an alternative that is so much easier on the eyes.
It's not really different than Lisp. Lists are not a native data representation on any computer other than a Lisp Machine, and S-exprs are a textual representation of a list, not a list itself. Also, most realistic Lisps still admit other primitive types like numbers, strings, symbols, and booleans. Many also have hashtables, structs, and binary blobs. Nobody programs with numbers represented by Peano axioms.

Nevertheless, Lisp is still a very useful primitive for understanding computation, because the means of combination of these primitives are all themselves represented with Lisps. That makes for a very succinct definition for the rules that define computation, because there are fewer special cases to handle. Likewise, it makes it easy to write program-manipulating-programs, because there are fewer special cases to handle.

In theory a graph-based language could have similar benefits. Most compilers already represent programs as graphs internally: there are call graphs, control flow graphs, data flow graphs, type graphs, etc. You could imagine a language that tries to make graph construction & manipulation very succinct, and then see how far it gets you. Sure, at some point you have to implement on real hardware, but you can hide the actual implementation, just like the sophisticated compiler techniques used to transform lists into efficient machine code are hidden from a Lisp programmer who just wants to write some macros.
Depends. Bankruptcy is just restructuring. The account holders are the debts for any custodial institution like this so a full payback is historically unlikely. Possible, but unlikely.

However, Apple, American Airlines, Six Flags, there's been a lot of bankruptcies or near misses (Microsoft bailed Apple out in 1997) that have come back.

As far as payback goes there's historically two structures and more recently it's been a hybrid

Essentially account balances are broken up into tiers like taxes. So for instance $0-500 are paid back 100%, $500-$2,500 are paid back 90%, $2,500-$5,000 back 70% etc

It's a protective measure really. You want to piss off the fewest people and your $500,000 account holder will be pissed about only getting $200,000 or whatever but there's a huge social pressure against them to act on it because now the optics is they're a rich person stealing from the poor. So in practice it's just "grumble grumble" and you're safe from the courts

I too was like this kid not so long ago. Here are some perspectives.

1. THE CAUSE - How is he doing academically? I was doing really poorly because of lack of support, and to suppress that frustration I would try to stifle it with games, anime etc. So do consider that possibility that its a response to an emotional problem and not a deliberate decision. They may not want to indulge in media consumption all day, and it may merely be a way to reduce their friction against the world and themselves.

2. THEIR BACKGROUND - Some of the responses here suggest kicking out the kid as they're a legal adult. If my parents were to suddently ask me to step up massively at 18 and did so using force, I would resent it tremendously. Because since I hit my teens, they had long abdicated the role of supporting any personality development activity for me. So I would directly attribute my inabilities to them. Some of you would be aghast reading this, like how could an "18 year old adult" claim this. That's because I'm not American, there was a genuine lack of such opportunities during high school because all was forfeit at the altar of college exams. I actually still resent it a little that they didn't enroll me in something like the (Boy) Scouts, or a karate class, or a swimming class etc. i.e. avenues where I could get out and grow a little as a person. In hindsight, I've recognized that ny parents are people too with shortcomings, and I shouldn't blame them for everything because I can. That would be foolish and myopic. However, my point is that the parents were responsible kid's upbringing and environment growing up, so the resulting kid they have at 18 is their creation. (Americans wouldn't agree, I'm sure some Asians who grew up middle/upper-middle class would.) So its not fair to pin it all on the child. Punitive measures may be a bad idea. I much prefer what /u/WastingMyTime89 has suggested below, to sit down with your child regularly so that they open up about their issues and problems. In any case, opportunities for the kid to get out would be a great idea, both by themselves or with their parents.

3. GLOBAL TRENDS - I assume the kid is a male. I've observed the same phenomenon happening with a male cousin personally, wherein a boy doesn't grow into a being a young adult very well, and instead retreats into his room and anime/games/porn. I think Warren Ferrel's work might be a good start. It might be good to take a birds eye viee of the whole thing and be informed by other individuals ans how they self-improved.

P.S. of course, the kid in question may be quite different from what I've described. But if they are the trying-but-struggling type, you could give him a book called 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson. It seems to have been fantastically effective for and well-received by many many young men. My 2 cents.
