What if you are running an AI company that is trying to solve self-driving and top 3-4 researchers quit?

Worked at a company where something like that happened (although a different field). The company simply pivoted to a different but related area, hired new people experienced in that field and kept going in a new direction.
> [...] via a connection on the bottom [...] Probably just wishful thinking

The bottom of the Framework expansion cards is exposed, so it would be possible to design an expansion card which exposed a dock connection on the bottom. It wouldn't be as good as the dock connection on these old Thinkpad and Dell laptops, which was centered, since the Framework expansion cards are on the sides and not on the center; but it could be made by a third party, without having to wait for the laptop manufacturer.

It's frustrating how much society can lead to self-perpetuating cycles due to expectations of others. Not always, but it can act in powerful ways.

Typecasting of actors and actresses is a good concrete example of this in one creative domain, but there are many more powerful examples.

It's my own issues that are coloring my interpretation of the piece but it struck me how much of the discussion was about developing a shared set of what amounts to very simple stereotypes in the end. Some of those stereotypes might have been true, but the process itself seems ignorant at some level. Mead was correct to point out the flaws in one set of biases, but I can't help but wonder if they were just replaced by others.

This problem goes even deeper, because it not only applies to papers but also to research grant applications. I even had once got a (positive) recommendation for one of my applications, but I could see from the statement that the reviewer did not really understand what was important.

What part of Bitcoin whitepaper tells you have to rely on third-parties? I'm not a trader, I'm a hodler, I even do not have a Coinbase account.

Of course if third-parties get lost you lose everything you have believed they will guard for you.

Sorry guys I forgot that average person needs to be an idiot. My bad, usually I consider an opposite.
Instead of saying things like "there are a lot of coasters" and "some of you don't belong here" it is refreshing to see someone actually say "I made a choice, and it did not work out. It was no-one else's fault but mine."

I've been through a bunch of layoff, and most of them are steeped in legal noise, mainly because in the UK layoffs need to follow a legally proscribed route. so the explanations are normally a lot less honest.
> We are talking virtual threads here(project loom), i think, no?

No.

Currently, when I have code (not using futures or anything) and in the middle there is a Thread.sleep() then I know that this thread will be blocked until the sleep is over (or interrupted) and _no other code is being executed on this thread_.

So the question is: will this behaviour change? Because if it does, then Loom breaks existing code. And that's what it does. And it does it not by accident but on purpose, to retroactively improve performance of exactly those situations where OS threads are blocked.
I am not sure that banks can "unilaterally ban you and steal your money", they are regulated and work under the laws of the hosting country. If anything banks can add a level of security and safety for example by adding insurance to your funds and having legal liability to handle them correctly.

Bram Cohen had an interesting twitter thread on this

It helps to think of the bicycle/motorcycle as an inverted pendulum. To sustain an acceleration in a given (lateral) direction, it must lean in that direction.

Countersteering helps to control/initiate the lean angle. To lean to the right, the rider steers to the left and the wheels (at the bottom) move to the left while the centre of mass stays where it was initially, thus the angle begins to lean to the right, initiating a steady rightwards acceleration.
I find it even more strange design decision as this is marketed as repairable machine. Surely a few more millimetres would have made many many things substantially easier. And I'm pretty sure the core target audience would have accepted it.
> For French, I would say stuff like subjonctif

As a beginner you absolutely do not need to learn the subjunctive. Even as an advanced French speaker, you can get away with just a few 'set phrases' in the subjunctive rather than learning the rules for the mood overall. Many French people do not use it correctly, and in a large portion of the cases, there's no difference between the indicative and the subjunctive. I cannot think of any case where not using the subjunctive would cause a problem in understanding, rather than just sounding a bit wrong.

Russian declension absolutely correct though, incorrect declensions will make you completely incomprehensible. Something more fundamental, word stress, is even more important. I spent MONTHS struggling to get anyone to understand me asking for a пепельни́ца. They would just stare at me gone out until I learned it was пе́пельница, after which I was understood immediately.

You may have found it annoying, but I think it's good to have a healthy level of skepticism on the internet about stories whose source is 'a friend of mine'.

I agree OP could have been a bit less confrontational, but...

> The first PC game is really the start of what we think of as the Medal of Honor franchise proper.

> They took that momentum and started on their own novel IP [...] They couldn't take the IP with them

That may be your opinion, it certainly isn't mine, having played both the Playstation games and none of the PC games. I very clearly remember the splash screen for Dreamworks on starting up the first Medal of Honor game. I'm still not sure how the third game in a franchise could be considered 'novel IP', especially as it seems they were approached by Dreamworks[1], so it's not surprising they couldn't take it anywhere else.

Without the explanation above, I would have dismissed your comment as nonsense out of hand without bothering to engage.

However, OP questioned, you clarified, and I learned something. Choosing your own definition of when the franchise started made it very difficult to accept your comment as it stood initially though.

Perhaps you could also have some self-awareness of how often people post about 'my friend who told me this anecdote about this big thing' with red flags in their story, and how much it's important not to believe everything you read?

1: Wikipedia mentions this on the 2015 page with a reference to https://www.tulsapeople.com/tulsa-people/july-2009/powering-..., but unfortunately I'm not able to open that link to verify its contents. https://venturebeat.com/games/the-making-and-unmaking-of-inf... seems to indicate as well that Dreamworks approached 2015, https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/11/06/ign-presents-the-his... suggests EA 'employed' 2015 which sounds about right (Dreamworks Interactive was sold to EA)

The author also mentions that their forest cover graph is "old growth", and even claims that this strengthens their point!

I just went through this recently (built a rust binary on my local machine, sent a binary to another person, they reported GLIBC errors, had to rebuild with the musl target, various crates depending on openssl failed) and found that every library that depended on openssl by default also had a `rusttls` feature in the crate that disabled openssl and enabled rusttls (https://github.com/rustls/rustls) instead.

So I just migrated everything over to that (which consisted of enabling the `rusttls` feature for every crate) and made another build with musl. Everything worked perfectly fine, and since it's not a performance sensitive application, there was basically no drawbacks. The binary became a bit bigger, but still under 4MB (with other assets baked into it) so wasn't a big issue.
So far, I've come across https://www.testim.io/test-automation-tool/ which looks promising

I don't think that's true for Rust. It defaults to depending on glibc, at least on Linux, and you need to explicitly build with musl to get static binaries.
Not that I know of. Although there are bounty systems for killing kangaroos under certain circumstances and in some States because there are just so many of them [0].

Curiously, back in 1932, there was this insane thing called "The Great Emu War" [1] (which very few Aussies have heard of, in my experience) where we literally declared war on emus. As [1] says, "While a number of the birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction."

It isn't lucky to hold through multiple multi-year 80% drawdowns, it's called doing research and having a conviction. I didn't sell at 60k, I'm not selling now, because I have a strong conviction.

On the other end of this you have serious audio reviewers who on one hand are professionals and have tonnes of experience, but then you see them review an absolute nonsense product like an audio-friendly ethernet switch(!!!) or "audiophile" NVMe drive, and write an entire article about how transformative it was to their sound(for the better, of course).

Then you start to realize that even the best ear is still subjective, and people will hear things if they want to hear them.
i see what you did there! also point taken.

In my defence, "decent flat reproduction" is at least measurable. However I should have actually been much more precise in my language. It should have read something like "the frequency response across the full spectrum is flat, which means that what you put in is what comes out, there is no extra base or treble, despite the shape and sound performance of the room"

These technologies are going to have a deleterious effect on the work available for artists, I think that much can be safely asserted. Of course there's no way of really knowing what percentage of artist work this is going to eat up, but neverytheless: When coal miners lost their jobs to automation, they were told that the advancement of technology will create new, better, safer and more fulfilling jobs for people. But what happens when the fulfilling, enjoyable jobs get automated?

We live in a system that ties productivity to human worth, that (in the US, certainly) only gives basic human needs such as food, shelter and healthcare to those that are making money for the system.
What happens when larger and larger percentages of the population are forced to choose butween uninspired, miserable work and a life of poverty and desperation?
What happens when the productivity is locked to those with the wealth to purchase expensive automation tools to do the work, and the wealth circulates between the people making the automation and the people using the automation, with vast swathes of the population being excluded from opportunity?

I'm excited to see this technology move forward, but I'm more excited about what societal effects this type of automation will have.
The title of he article caught me off guard, but there is no wrong, per the definition UFO - unidentified flying object. Due to influence of popular culture, the UFO acronym is easily mistook for 'alien craft' in some parts of the world.

That's not the whole story. When Bitcoin started it was used more as a currency than it is now. Firstly by evangelists who tried to establish a BTC economy, and secondly in the illicit economy.

Bitcoin miners and devs took the project in a specific direction a few years later, optimizing it for use as digital gold, while making it much harder and more expensive to use as a currency.
Australian Emu War
There’s a lot about riding a motorbike that feels counterintuitive. The way this article is written it sounds like you can only initiate the steer with a counter steer but even if you’re already in a bend you can provide a counter input to tighten your line and steer harder. It’s taught pretty early on for new riders and it saves lives.

There’s loads of other weird things, because the rear tire is wider than the front, the contact patch is bigger at the rear, so to extract maximum grip you need a rearward weight transfer, so lightly accelerating in a turn is optimal. Even when not pursuing max grip you’d still do this to keep the envelope large around your actual grip requirements.

Although The front wheel has a smaller contact patch, the contact patch at the front is often a different shape- the front wheel is often a larger diameter so it has a longer but narrower contact patch than the rear. That makes for a vehicle that tracks and responds differently over uneven ground at the front vs the back which leads to you needing to let the front move itself, a relaxed grip is needed on the bars over uneven surfaces, otherwise you will transfer so of that motion from the handlebars, through your body to the pegs and the seat. That will lead to a loss of control. Utterly counter intuitive that to retain control over rough ground you want to almost let go of the handlebars.

There’s two great books - for direct machine control, “a twist of the wrist” volume 2 by keith code and for more abstract how to think about machine control - not

I am not sure where are you located but the EU is actively pursuing and pushing for enabling banking APIs, the Swedish bank I work for has an open API all well documented even with a test environment.
If I were implementing it, I would say total total repo size limit = 4GB, excluding any objects part of commits in whitelisted projects.

That makes sense for GitHub, because what they really care about is the hard drive space you use up, and a repo containing a commit they are already storing for some large project is no additional disk space.
You would have been much luckier if your worldview had allowed you to sell at $60k and buy back at $20k.

The good thing about this type of fossil fuel fan fiction is that it's self-refuting.

They put all that effort into saying "energy made us rich" so implying we must worship fossil fuels. But as soon as the cost curves cross over the argument switches and works against them.

So then they need to argue that its not actually cheaper, its just a conspiracy to deceive you while even fossil fuel producers, corporate and state, are saying the opposite.

Without end their lack of standards produce quirks, security concerns, and divergent feature handling.

If there are practices in place at all there is at least a context to make note of how to handle and where to look for some means of normalization.

I really doubt this is the problem, many banks offer open APIs and still handle fraud successfully. You can always rate limit the number of transactions and not allow the same user to log in/send APIs from two different locations too fast.

When I was recording something, I routed an (audio)compressor/gate combo. I was twiddling something on the effect and convinced myself that it was making a change.

Looked to my left, the person was vehemently agreeing with me, I looked behind, the other person had a face like I'd farted. A while later I realised that I had routed the output into a muted bus. (ie I couldn't hear the output of the effect, only the raw original)

When you lose traction in your car from rain or snow, your instinct is probably to countersteer, but you should instead steer into the turn and countersteer when you regain control.

I can't remember if they actually taught that in driving school, but my dad had me deliberately lose traction repeatedly in a parking lot in the snow to get the hang of it. It saved my life a few times because I was a reckless idiot as a teenager.

having worked in academic publishing, i've concluded that peer review would perform best if it were embedded in the very act of reading (so post-publication, non-formalized kind of peer review) instead of having it be a formalized process riddled with issues and cracks as it is currently.

it would enable faster and more seamless communication, academics wouldn't be burdened with extra volunteer work, and publishers would still be able to curate works as the authors suggest (+ there are other ways to do it).

sadly my impression is that it's simply too entrenched in the publishing process -- and publisher's raison d'etre to a large extent -- for the publishers to relinquish control of it
