Not sure what you call near IR but JWST has a range from 600nm to 28micrometers. Typicaly people start talking about mid-air from 2 micrometers. So I would say JWST definitely covers beyond near IR
That's the paradox
Well that's sad.

This has a dramatic impact on society. It's not just like a new GPU technology. This is labor.

Consideration for disrupting labor inequity is going to get worse.

The fact that the money people who own Tesla stock are supposedly in charge is a distraction.

Stock owners don't have motivation to make a long-term socially equitable product.
> I read Crime and Punishment when I was in school. I was sixteen years old. It's hard to appreciate classic works at that age. But we were forced to read these books on a compulsory basis. I didn't find anything revolutionary in this book.

I read it at 18. Borrowed it from a friend and found it so boring I could read only a few pages at a time. Then I stopped reading. Some months later, I realized I needed to return his book. So I forced myself to read the rest of the book (over half) all in one night. I didn't care if my brain tuned out as I read the pages. I just wanted to be done with it.

I was glad to be rid of something so boring.

Not long after, I had a dream. I was hanging out with friends outside at about 1am. Then one of my friends says "Hey, I just heard on the radio they found another body - someone was murdered tonight!"

I froze. I was that murderer. I'd killed a bunch of people lately. How should I respond to this? Should I ignore it? Make a joke about it? Talk about it seriously? How do I say it so none of them suspect me?

We eventually walk back to where we had parked our motorbikes. Mine was not there. Had the police found it while searching for me? I woke up.

Years later, I talked to a few people who had read the book. Some hated it. Some loved it. But they all said they really felt like Raskalnikov - either while reading it or in some dream they later had. I give credit to the book being so powerful.

Years after that I read The Brothers Karamazov. A much bigger book, and even more boring. Had no effect on me. I've forgotten all of it.
My guess is the idea is that you can easily extend and customize it since the code base is kept small and simple (10k loc seems quite neat).

It's basically the argument that poets like Keats had, that science was destroying beauty because it "unweaved the rainbow" -- that is the rainbow is less beautiful if we understand why it occurs rather than being magical.

Not only is every customer service rep working from home now, but for some reason they'd rather deal with beeping than change their smoke alarm batteries.

My condolences, I had a corrupt profile once, I was a bit angry that I could find no way to uncorrupt it. I could find no tools that would fix it. I ended up having to remove the user and create a new one. Thankfully no file loss but the whole process was made harder than it should have been because the only user account on the system was the corrupt one and it refused to log in due to the profile problem.

My lessons learned from it.

windows profiles are far too complicated, it was hard to find low level information on how they work or how to diagnose and fix a bad profile.

make sure you have and know another login. preferably the admin one.
See: Patagonia and recent news around it.
This is true, but most of those devs are in that situation because they want to be. They have less than zero interest in taking on more. Often these people also value job security/stability above advancement/novelty. Many of them also do coding only while at work, and if they will learn a new skill/tech it will be because their employer is paying them to. Often this group will not follow any tech news/blogs/anything and isn't even reachable.

In short it's a pretty tough group to market to.

To be clear, I'm not making a value judgment on this. If those people are happy with life, that's great! That's mostly the point IMHO.

lol, the recent mobilization taught us that Russia has chewed through its entire supply of trained and armed soldiers, and is now desperately conscripting unwilling old men.

It's not going to change anything. I hope you figure out sooner rather than later that you're living in an information bubble that will inevitably pop.
Government is ineffective and is responsive to the change after the facts up to the limits of its constituents.

The constituents are lobbyists and poorly organized under-unionized civilians.

So, I don't expect the government to meaningfully produce any accommodation ahead of time, at least in the United States.

Therefore it's up to us as technologists who effectively represents the brains of Tesla, to do that ethical thinking.

Almost all Sony first party studios use custom engines, even when they support PC.
Most Nintendo first party games are custom engines.
The majority of Microsoft first party games are custom engines.

Ubisoft use custom engines, EA use custom engines.

Call of Duty is a custom engine (derived from idTech)

If you go to the GDC YouTube channel ( https://youtube.com/c/Gdconf ) you can see the range of game specific things that these studios are working on that using an off the shelf engine is limiting

I don't know if you intended it, but this directly equates work to socializing.

I don't seek out alternatives to socializing because I don't use work as a socialization tool. If anything, people using work for their primary socialization outlet are using it as an alternative to socializing.

> No, they're not. And no, I'm not. And no amount of using coworkers as a crutch for not having a private social life will change that.

You can say that, but the data says otherwise[0], with time with friends peaking at ~18 or so. Time spent with coworkers surpasses time spent with friends @ 20.

I agree this is a problem in some ways (the discrimination you mention, conflict of power, etc), but in many ways it makes sense. You're spending 40-50hrs/week on an activity that involves others, you're probably going to have some non-commercial relationship with them. And maybe the opportunity of a good life is in finding that non-commercial relationship, while making money?

To me - it's actually the suburbanization, the glass windows between everyone in cars on some "stroad"... of american life that causes this. The lack of literal physical interactions with others reduces your community to only the nuclear essentials.

I'm desperately searching for a life that combines meaningful work, large community, privacy, and space. I'm still searching.

I think you're missing the point... agriculture allows for greater population density and specialization, which makes armies possible (not to mention technology leading to superior armaments), which in turn means that when the two enter into conflict, the militarized agricultural society wins. It's not a value judgement about which lifestyle is better, but if hunter-gatherers live on land that's good for agriculture, then eventually an agricultural society will want that land, and the rest is history. This old story is still playing out today, with the very few hunter-gatherers remaining being wiped out as we speak.

The importance of this cannot be overstated. Developers are extremely difficult to market to if you're not a developer yourself. It can be done, but very few sales/marketing people will be successful unless they have much experience in it. The reason why is that developers break all the rules you learn in marketing departments and schools. What works with normal people will not just be ineffective on devs but will actively repel them.
Of course, in reality you can't build safety-critical systems that operate in challenging rail environments by slapping together an Arduino, a GPS receiver, and an IMU and saying "problem solved lol".

None of the things you have described are "easy problems". In fact, they are pretty difficult! Systems need to be robust, interoperable, reliable, provably correct, fail safely, deal with surprising edge cases, have long service lives, and any number of other challenges.

In any case, all you've really done here is re-invent technology that already exists. In ETCS level 2, for example, the signalling system uses known-location transmitters on the track as references and the train calculates its position in-between using on-board sensors like axle encoders, IMUs etc.

This is just a short article about an interesting new technology for providing the "train position" component of the system by building a magnetic map of the rails. Pretty cool idea – if it's accurate enough, it provides a more robust source of absolute positioning information, which is key to allowing the rollout of realising "moving-block" approaches in which trains' movement authorities are updated in real-time, allowing higher traffic density.

And it's not like nobody's thought about GPS/GNSS either – there have been extensive projects looking into the feasibility of those systems. The Russian ABTC-M system uses GLONASS, and I'm sure some implementations of PTC in the US use GPS. But again, these are difficult challenges incorporating lots of different technology and you don't solve them overnight.
He's literally talking about eliminating jobs from the Tesla factory in Fremont. And then he takes a further step and discusses in eliminating all manual labor.

I think it's reasonable to consider the chance a fully mobile non-human humanoid will actually disrupt labor more so than the invention of a shopping cart.

I'm talking about marginalized people who are under educated and have very good reason to believe that they are not a part of the broader society, black and brown people. This is a real group of people.

Take away their labor opportunity and they're not going to suddenly become managers. Maybe someone will train them so that they become robot repair technicians or something else which hasn't been a likely to be automated.

Who is thinking about this for them? They're certainly not thinking about it because they don't think they belong in this society, already, based on how they are actively marginalized, based on evidence.

So it's left up to us as technologists to think about the societal impact of the technology that we're working on.

Edit: furthermore, I have worked in a grocery store and it was not great. I had to go out of my way to engage with people, to get some of that juicy worthwhile socialization, because the job was to move stuff around. Move new blocks of cheese into the freezing cold open refrigerators. Move purchased groceries from the cash register to people's cars. Move carts from the parking lot back into the store. Not great labor. So having a personal shopper job would be awesome by comparison.

“Instead CoPilot attempts to solve the most general problem, have the engineer state their intent and let the AI produce the code.”

It just helps you build something that’s probably wrong faster.
Hi Kai!
What a weird take.

How else would we have implemented this? WASM has facilitated introducing these technologies into web applications, it literally wasn’t possible before.

Thanks to emscripten it wasn’t even that hard to get rnnoise working on WASM: https://github.com/jitsi/rnnoise-wasm

I concede WASM does open the possibility of adding opaque stuff to web apps but IMHO the benefits outweigh the drawbacks at this point.

“They live in the African savannah, which is where humankind first evolved”

We have some evidence to suggest that early humans were there but it is a huge assumption and leap of faith to make a statement like this with certainty. This statement is more likely a religious statement than one a good scientist would make.

A good scientist would not make such a bold assumption without putting it in quotes or a star next to it. You cannot make this statement definitively.
Proper STEMlord doctrine holds that Marxism is not even wrong. Also, obviously, the views/ideas of Marx turned out to be correct (well supported by empiricism) are just part of economics and sociology.
Possibly neither. We’re missing data on games not using Vulkan. As an simple example, let’s say it turns out that

- out of 407 games running Vulkan natively, 270 run on Stadia (from the article)

- out of 407 games not running Vulkan natively, also 270 run on Stadia (numbers the article doesn’t mention that I made up to make a point)

Then, the two “runs Vulkan natively” and “runs on Stadia” are 100% independent.
Of course backup is always a good idea.

However, an equally good idea when faced with a sudden and utterly unexpected situation, is to not immediately try to solve the problem without understanding what actually happened. The chances of the "fix" doing more harm than good is high.

That said, consumer software should definitely not assume that the user understands how the internals work. In this case, rather than a popup being shows, it would have been more appropriate to give the user a full-screen walkthrough, similar to the first-launch experience, explaining what has happene, what Windows has done, that the documents and pictures are most likely safe, and finally include warnings about the active profile, and associated documents and pictures, being deleted when logging out.
