It could mean a lot of things.

I was on a jury where we were forced to acquit a guy of vehicular manslaughter because a vendor representative couldn’t properly explain how NTP works on a red light camera under cross examination. It was gross.
Yeah I guess I was thinking of "ill intent" through a certain societal lens of their intent not their own personal lens. Which is admittedly a pretty subjective view. But, I would still argue someone doing something like a politician acting against the interests of their constituency for monetary gain to be ill intent regardless of their own moral justification. And that exact example seems to happen a lot.

Edit: Also to be clear I agree that the vast majority of people aren't these actors. The problem is it is very easy for someone with ill intent to get things moving in the direction they want. Very few systems stand up to real world abuse by a sufficiently motivated bad actor.

Yes. I was told this the almost as soon as I started as a PE, by colleagues. 2+ years later, having worked in both PE and SWE teams, I noticed first hand that PEs were consistently looked down upon by both SWEs and SWE managers.
> It's phenomenally hard. Echos, indirect routing (bouncing off buildings), sound waves changing speed as they go through various materials (like a lens). It's a very hard problem.

I doubt they've solved (or even have non trivial mitigations for) any of those subproblems, based on stories of how often they apply human "corrections". The portion they've implemented may be very easy to replicate.
This is awesome, but it's also kind of wild that YC basically put closed-source and open-source competitors in the same space in virtually the same batch.

I'll definitely be looking at this for my current project.
I feel for you, friend. they just don’t seem very viable outside of a subsidized university setting like when I was getting a mechanical engineering degree.

I like actually thinking about things, but does that address the problem where you’re more likely to see people who disagree with your (well-reasoned) opinion as violent?

I wonder if cell site networks could collect the same data. Cell towers are already mounted high up, have data connections and high precision GPS data. Adding a microphone array seems like it would be cheap and easy.
I would think the system will have difficult time materializing high rates of people that have been shot, which tends to be the chief metric for where it's deployed.

I don't think your assessment is correct on any of the particulars.

Building lots of renewables and storage is eminently practical. It's happening every day, getting cheaper every day, and is scaling unbelievably fast.

Constructing new nuclear, however, is not practical or economical. And it's not because of politicians or environmentalists. It's because Westinghouse, utilities, and contractors can't do it. And it's exactly the same story in France, with undeniably friendly politics and regulation.

There's an important deeper issue here about advanced economies. Construction productivity, when compared to the massive increase in manufacturing productivity, is pretty much constant. So we can either apply our finite and limited construction capacity to building more factories, and exponentially increasing our productivity, or we can apply it to constructing nuclear plants, and get only linear gains in energy out of our construction efforts.

The one way around that is SMRs, maybe, but they far less proven tech than lithium ion batteries, which are far more proven and practical.

Technologically, we have progressed beyond the big nuclear reactors from half a century ago. They are a monument to the age, like the intricate woodwork on Victorian houses, but never to be created again by advanced economies.

The economies that are able to build nuclear are those that are about at the stage of the US in the 70s and 80s: China and Russia. Maaaaaybe South Korea. But the value of their labor force per hour may soon advance beyond the point where it makes sense for them to continue to build nuclear.

The future of energy is manufactured: wind, solar, and battery storage.
And that pipe adapter is a work of art. It looks like it was designed by a rocket engineer. And it’s beautifully made and powder coated. Amazing for the price.

That's not a cynical take, that's what they're saying publicly. "That's why we started the Privacy Sandbox initiative to collaborate with the ecosystem on developing privacy-preserving alternatives to third-party cookies and other forms of cross-site tracking. ... The most consistent feedback we’ve received is the need for more time to evaluate and test the new Privacy Sandbox technologies before deprecating third-party cookies in Chrome. This feedback aligns with our commitment to the CMA to ensure that the Privacy Sandbox provides effective, privacy-preserving technologies and the industry has sufficient time to adopt these new solutions. This deliberate approach to transitioning from third-party cookies ensures that the web can continue to thrive, without relying on cross-site tracking identifiers or covert techniques like fingerprinting." -- https://blog.google/products/chrome/update-testing-privacy-s...
I remember having a similarly contrarian idea, about presenting partly broken/wrong things to students as an invitation (or unconscious "hook") to participate and solve/fix it. I think it was in the context of learning/teaching electronics, starting with a simple example like a lightbulb that doesn't turn on when you flip the switch.

It's like that saying, if you want people to answer your question, first post the wrong answer and they won't be able to help themselves but to point you in the right direction.
And when I have to modify the code a couple of years down the road, after working on completely different codebases, I would hate my past self if he left me 100 LOC that I have then to decypher by having to remember all the context instead of the 5 lines of a well-documented library.

Lol, they are not reserved for actual native apps. Web can do animations just fine, at 60 fps, in 2D or 3D. If it adds to the user experience in a meaningful or delightful way, go ham.

While this still may be a good idea to help get more semiconductor production in the US and could reduce ongoing inflation by increasing supply it doesn't mean we shouldn't invest in people as well including plans for school meals. I think we are still figuring out how much of the inflation is supply related and how much is because the cost of money has been too cheap.

Seems like you agree with their view?
Honestly, I'd be surprised if 9% weren't below the rate from random searches. It's tragically quite common - and, to a point, quite rational - to carry a gun in some neighborhoods.
Also funny that it's posted in an article about.. a library?
The author didn’t exactly say they were such a “custodian of culture.” They said one will find themselves there. I reread the article, and stand by my opinion. The whole article seems to me a rationalization for cutting off conversation because they (the author) don’t want to practice listening or empathy. They say in very simple words that their technique is “a conversation ender.”

We may have a difference in personality. I consider myself pretty thoughtful. And sometimes I have a difference of opinion with someone. If they choose to use a “technique” on me that is “a conversation ender,” I will not like it. By extension, I wouldn’t use that technique on someone else. Feels an awful lot like bullying to me.
Well, I'm a layperson to anything related to criminal investigation, but this is a little concerning to me.

If you're in a particularly crime ridden area, my concern is how many of those 9% are the right evidence against the right person. It's pretty terrible if all it took to nab the wrong person was shoddy evidence from a shady and secretive company that is accused of having manipulated the evidence in the past. It is still quite terrible even if it's often correct, because that makes it much harder for someone who is innocent to do anything about it.

Still, it's possible that the numbers Vice is showing does not demonstrate the problem.
Eh, there was entirely valid reasons for the backlash :)

Redux _was_ overused in the first couple years. The original patterns _were_ very boilerplate-y. There _are_ a lot of other good tools for varying use cases that overlap with things that people have used Redux for: Context for prop drilling, React Query / Apollo for data fetching, Zustand/Jotai/Mobx/five-million-other-libs for state management.

Redux will never be the "must use this" lib again the way it was there for a couple years.

And that's a _good_ thing, because folks should take time to think about what problems they actually need to solve in their apps and pick the tools that work best for those problems.

But it's also true that Redux _is_ still a useful tool, and that RTK has addressed the pain points in using Redux. So, still very much a viable choice today, and the positive feedback we get on RTK daily shows that.

Really, the bigger issue today is that a lot of folks don't seem to understand the technical differences, tradeoffs, and intended use cases between a lot of these tools.

I wrote an extensive post describing the differences between Context and Redux to try to help with that:

- https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2021/01/context-redux-diff...

I've also been trying to start up a community-driven site to list common tools for various use cases (state management, styling, build tools, data fetching, etc), to act as a resource to help clarify this sort of confusion:

- https://github.com/markerikson/react-community-tools-practic...

Sadly I haven't had time to push it forward myself due to all the other responsibilities and tasks on my todo list, but hopefully at some point we can get enough info filled in for it to be a real resources that we can point people to.
The author did not make his point well because he immediately contradicts himself.

> we don’t use libraries. The only libraries we use are where [...] I know the library will continue to be maintained.

I interpreted his point more charitably as "be very selective about introducing libraries". I've had the most success with framework-agnostic, foundational libraries (tables, date-time) and with best-in-class framework libraries (state management, calendars).

I think the misinformation thing is a much bigger problem than you’re making it out to be. Facebook was already in traditional medias sights because they along with google have hoovered up all their revenue. Giving the media and the government an excuse to harp on them is a big problem.
From my experience with React and Next.js, limiting the amount of dependencies can make things easier as far as updating React versions without being locked into an older major version because of a dependency.

I've been burned by a couple of libraries namely because they didn't handle hooks properly or were creating bugs that I couldn't understand.

The conclusion the author makes (only use libraries that are well maintained by a known team) is a pretty good heuristic for which libraries to choose.

Especially if they want to write a custom form library. Everyone thinks this is a good idea. It's never a good idea, there are so many different features and states forms can be in, and your homebrew thing is going to be a mess.
there's a whole body of political science literature that would heartily debate that stance. at most, political discourse and religious discourse grew up together and influenced each other, but to say one is based on the other is a rhetorical diversion at best.

gay marriage shouldn't be predicated on privacy either. two people want equal protection under the law as any other two people who have enjoined their lives together. that's basically it. certainly the gender/sex of those two people isn't the state's concern, because reproduction is not a state concern, but rather a private matter.
Vancouver Police gives the most obnoxious bums, the bearded baseball cap guys with the bikes and tow trailers and german shepherds one way tickets to Victoria and a bag lunch to unload them. Been doing that since the Olympics. It was hilarious. They were infesting all Vancouver then suddenly about two or three months before the Olympics they disappeared and at the same time what cries of lamentation from Victoria, afflicted with their unexpected odious presence...

You could also say that a few very good traders in the senate would greatly benefit from this passing as well. There are a number of reasons this passed.

Laundering police positions is a pretty profitable industry. I think once I have my American citizenship, I'd like to give it a shot. The small-time stuff like police dog training[0], etc., and the obvious stuff like AI face recognition won't play. But there's a lot of stuff like this that can be relatively decent business. Everyone who could prosecute you is sort of on your side, so you're safe. And it has a naturally monopoly-esque situation since every time you play along you build a trust that you have their back.

Ideally, I'd like to replace police dogs to give police probable cause. Policing is a huge industry in America, and it's not realistically going to be reformed because there is also a lot of crime in America, so it's a lasting business.

I'm mildly worried someone else will get there first. But we'll see. I have a couple of ideas.

0: Though if you could run a large-scale single source of training with some sort of certification program, that would work. Dogs are a fantastic laundering device, but I don't like that it linearly scales cost to add more. You can force recurring revenue by getting "periodic retraining" into the process, which will play really well with everyone.
> selectively deployed in minority areas

God this phrasing gets so annoying. If white neighborhood residents were being murdered in their streets, you really don’t think they’d put these devices there? Residents would be itching for them!

It’s about catching murders - putting these devices in places with the most gun violence.

Having police catch murderers is something we all want - rich neighborhoods included - and something that takes resources and effort to do. It’s something that we are privledged to have, compared to many other places in the world that just let poor people kill each other without legal recourse.

Good people in these neighborhoods want policing. I have a friend in Humbolt park, and he practically has PTSD from constant gunfire. You think he doesn’t want these devices?

Bad correlations ad nauseam.

I would replace don't use any libraries with properly vet the libraries which you want to use (in any language). Having a dependency has its costs and benefits, and you should weight these against each other.
While true the tech is not complex, I believe the discrepancy is "how accurate is it and is the data being manipulated to fit a crime" versus "the data is accurate and leading to fair justice outcomes."

Wouldn't "red teaming" ShotSpotter solve for this to see how accurate they are? A team would perform controlled firings in known locations under various auditory scenes with the city's approval, and then request the data from ShotSpotter to see how accurate they are (without revealing you are performing an exercise). ShotSpotter then doesn't have to reveal their methodology, as their data provided from a blind test will reveal the accuracy regardless of how they arrive at conclusions. The system is either accurate or it isn't (with a measured level of confidence), and this can be tested for without ShotSpotter's consent (as long as they continue to provide data to the customer per their contract).

Imagine if there were 100 gun murders in a city in one year and you had a magic box that was 100% accurate at detection of location of gun shots within 1 mile and the city could only afford to buy 10 magic boxes.

Would you put those magic boxes near where previous gun crimes have been committed or would you put those boxes in places based on the race and sexual orientation and disability status and gender of the people living in the city?
"[Office of Inspector General] Finds That ShotSpotter Alerts Rarely Lead to Evidence of a Gun-Related Crime and That Presence of the Technology Changes Police Behavior"

- https://igchicago.org/2021/08/24/oig-finds-that-shotspotter-...

"Police watchdogs in Chicago have issued a report about the city’s use of ShotSpotter’s acoustic gunshot detection system, finding that only 9 percent of ShotSpotter alerts led to evidence of gun crime."

- https://www.vice.com/en/article/5db8vk/police-are-using-guns...

"Court documents recently reviewed by VICE have revealed that ShotSpotter, a company that makes and sells audio gunshot detection to cities and police departments, may not be as accurate or reliable as the company claims. In fact, the documents reveal that employees at ShotSpotter may be altering alerts generated by the technology in order to justify arrests and buttress prosecutors’ cases."

"And according to the testimony of a ShotSpotter employee and expert witness in court documents reviewed by VICE, claims about the accuracy of the classification come from the marketing department of the company—not from engineers."

Interesting. None of the versions here are wrong exactly (i.e. in none of these cases were Wikipedians making things up or clearly misconstruing what they read), but sources out in the world that Wikipedia authors pulled their information from have incomplete stories, and sometimes one version contradicts the other.

I think about this sometimes. Our intuitive definition of the average ${thing} seems to be the average of ${thing}s we've seen before, but we don't ever see the vast majority of ${thing}s. The average, finished, published game is probably well below the average that we've seen.

Producing a game that most people think is average is actually an achievement, because they're comparing you to a list that includes the likes of Skyrim and Assetto Corsa, but probably doesn't include all the variants of Unity Store Asset Simulator. Same for books, music, artwork, sport, and pretty much everything else.
To elaborate: Since a quadrotor can only generate thrust in one direction, any smooth trajectory through space specifies a unique pitch/roll attitude at each moment in time. The attitude at time t is determined by the trajectory's acceleration at time t, along with gravity.

Therefore, angular velocity is determined by jerk - the rate at which this thrust vector is changing.

The angular velocity cannot be changed instantaneously, because the quadrotor can only exert a finite torque about its rotational axes. So we need to design trajectories that do not attempt to change the angular velocity -- and hence, the jerk -- too quickly.

Therefore, we should try to minimize something like the maximum norm of the snap along the trajectory.

In practice we often minimize the integral of the squared norm of the snap, because it can be posed as a convex quadratic optimization problem with respect to the control points of a spline.
