> Once the hood has occluded the view from the windshield cameras, these obstructions will cease to exist.

I have observed that this is how vision is currently implemented, but does it have to be this way? I can pull up to a concrete wheel stop in my Toyota without vision and without the sonar enabled even though my eyesight is occluded by the hood because I know where it was and how far I have moved. Concrete wheel stops do not flicker out of existence when you stop looking at them, they should be able to monitor the wheel speed sensors and shift the 3D map of the world into your camera blind spots, perhaps showing a "hidden" wireframe on the cameras.

It would be inconvenient if you were unable to pull forward because a tumbleweed or (more likely) plastic bag rolled through, but you could back up and try again or the human could decide to ignore the beeping.

Granted, I'm not a domain expert, but we do this in my field of industrial robotics when building models with 3D vision. The computer can composite multiple profiles into a single higher-resolution image, can return data about that model when the camera on the EOAT has moved such that the field of view is limited, and can provide faults when the model does not match a previous image because something has been added or removed while the camera wasn't watching.
Even if it's technically doable doesn't mean [for me] it's not the same as supported/the same level of usability as before support dropped.

Or see it other way around - will require more efforts as before. I see no value in extra efforts.
>Castopod could one day be in that position if you don't support FOSS alternatives today. That would be the mindset to put yourself in.

they can't turn an AGPL license code into proprietary one. Open source and FOSS are similar but ideologically different beasts.
One gives the downstream developer to decide the license of their work, including the ability of allowing them to turn it into proprietary code while FOSS forces all code to be foss and never proprietary

>Similar to Google abusing Chromium

chromium is under BSD while this is under AGPL. there is a world of difference between these two licenses. One allows proprietary forks while another forbids it.
To be honest I've probably read it multiple times, but they're usually not interesting enough to remember. :/

This appears to be mostly reporting on this New York Times article https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/03/us/nyu-organic-chemistry-... so I think that should be considered the original source.

Depends on your workloads. 750 words will cost you 0.2 cents, that can be very expensive or reasonably priced, depending on what you do.

It's funny how that is the view if a company does it, but not when an individual does it.
is brave going to maintain a fork of chromium for eternity?
Not big fan of Freebsd myself, but what you say makes not much sense even for me. Some examples would be nice.
Possible, sure. But not trivial, and there is no pressing need to get rid of these sensors right now. Why the rush, if there is no supply chain issue?
In 2008 lots of money was printed in response to the crisis and there was minimal inflation and the excess was reeled in as the economy came back. Over simplification is a distraction.
> According to The New York Times, 82 of Jones' 350 students signed the petition last spring; it alleged that too many of them were failing and that this was unacceptable. The students cited emotional and mental health complaints to make the case that Jones ought to make the class less difficult.

> "We urge you to realize that a class with such a high percentage of withdrawals and low grades has failed to make students' learning and well-being a priority and reflects poorly on the chemistry department as well as the institution as a whole," the petition read.

> The Times article suggests that throughout the pandemic, Jones made a number of accommodations for struggling students. He reduced the difficulty of his exams, but students were still failing them.

> "Students were misreading exam questions at an astonishing rate," said Jones.

> The article does note that the petition never called for Jones to be fired. But the university evidently decided that the best way to resolve the situation was to turn him loose.

> His departure is certainly a loss for NYU's academic caliber. After all, Jones is a lion in the field of organic chemistry, publishing 225 papers in his 40-year career. He literally wrote the textbook, "Organic Chemistry," which weighs in at 1,300 pages.

It's sad that professors are strongly incentivized to lower difficulty and grade generously until a large majority of students pass, without having mastered the material the professor is supposed to be teaching them. No professor ever got fired for making things too easy or for imparting too little knowledge.
This is dumb. That's not an insult -- I'm not calling you dumb, but just your argument.

1) Banks are FDIC-insured, so unless the federal government goes under, my money can't be lost. If the US disappears, so does the dollar.

2) If people lose part of their money due to a policy like the one you propose, they won't "learn." You're asking ordinary people to be aware of things which are accessible to a fraction of a percent of the population. They'll assume banks are safe, and lose trust in "the system" if they're not.

3) Even so, I have no way of knowing what's going on at my bank. For all I know, the executives might be crooks embezzling money for the Italian mafia. We have organizations like the FBI, SEC, etc. since individuals can't investigate these things. I'd like to focus on my family and my job. That's why we've specialized.

The current approach for banking is better than free market. Personally, I think banking would best be nationalized, a la China. It's not an industry where efficient free markets do very well. That's true for health care and parts of real estate too. (And yes, there are other industries I would privatize much more, like education. This shouldn't be an ideological socialist versus free market argument, so much as looking at the extent to which free market assumptions apply to a given industry)
Lots of real time, safety critical, and control systems rely on software and don't have mechanical or hard wired electronic interlocks or fallbacks. That doesn't make it worse than alternatives.

You could hack the firmware and make the device behave out of spec, but you could also hack the hardware. If you bypassed your voltage limiter on the board then you could blow it up too.
My only contact with NYU alumni was someone who had a master in ITP at NYU and was very proud of it. It's supposedly described as an art school for engineers and at the same time an engineering school for artists. I can't judge her art but I can definitely say resolutely that she was not an engineer nor did it bring enough engineering knowledge to talk to engineers in her role as a PM.

The running gag among the team was that she would confidently say utter non-sense while making it sound technical. Enough to fool non-engineers but extremely funny to the actual engineers that worked with her.
I agree. I had wondered how successful and easy it would be to create a "front end" site that does a better job of searching, organizing archive.org.
I just tested out how to use template with slots, and it was as you said quite simple.

Made a simple gist: https://gist.github.com/vidaj/b27f1140a8ae711c7df2372c4b5cfe...
It supports using templates as slot content and updating only the slots you want. Add in some event listeners, and you got basic binding support.
The extreme money printing (look at the Fed's balance sheet before and after 2008 [0]) showed up as inflation in house prices, which have ballooned in relation to wage income. This was done for the explicit purpose of keeping the biggest lenders flush (see Timothy Geithner's comments about 'deeply unfair', e.g. [1]) and is exactly what the GP is describing.

I guess it was posted to avoid the paywall discussion that would arise from posting the NYT -- the FAQ discourages that.
Kinda on the same sentiment. I can use hooks very well but I'm arsed trying to understand the internals on each semver major, let alone having to explain it to new developers. Lots of magic underneath.

SolidJS is promising but it has custom syntax too that requires babel parsing, i still cant just use esbuild to bundle it.

I’ve never taken organic chemistry but I always hated classes where the discussion after getting test results went like this:

“Aw man, I got a 40.”

“That’s great, most people got 20s, that’s the highest score”
Not a lawyer but EULAs are generally unenforced. That is not to say they are unenforceable.

The thing about doing what you are doing. Some person down the road, maybe many years from now will have some sort of problem and not realize they lack a proper license. They will reach out to the vendor and start the lawsuit process.

From the vendor's point of view your corp will end up paying now or paying later.

From your corp's point of view. Lawyers are going to want to know everything. Your name will come up and it doesn't matter at all if you work there or not. You're going to be talking to lawyers. Worse yet, they wont care if you work there or not, they won't be on your side.

You certainly need to get it in writing.

Unravel it, quite. I wonder sir, what that word communication means.

To communicate implies not only verbally but also listening in which there is a sharing, a thinking together, not accepting something that you or I say, but sharing together, thinking together, creating together, all that is involved in that word 'communicate'. And in that word is implied also the art of listening. The art of listening demands a quality of attention in which there is real listening, real sense of having an insight as we go along, each second, not at the end, but at the beginning.

Communication implies there must be at the same level, at the same time, with the same intensity, we are walking together, we are thinking together, we are observing together, sharing together.

Also, in communication there is not only a verbal communication, but there is a non-verbal communication, really which comes into being, or which happens when one has the art of really listening to somebody, in which there is no acceptance, no denial, or comparison, or judgement, just the act of listening.
It's kind of interesting that libertarian Reason Magazine feels the need to comment on this. Isn't this just Capitalism Working Great, serving the student/parent-customers who are paying the bills?

I know there's more nuance to this - you can disagree with what a firm does in a free market economy and assert it's bad for society. But it seems like, from a libertarian perspective, the focus should be on how this is bad for the university, and will reduce its signaling value to employers or something. Because if the customers want a diploma mill, and there's no self-interest downside to the university becoming a diploma mill, then in a libertarian worldview it's generally quite right and good that the university becomes a diploma mill.
How do you define "introduce"? When I went to school I'm pretty sure I had to take the music subject for around 10-11 years. First we had to learn the flute (no singing), then our third class teacher was shocked that no one could hit a not when singing. A little later it was a mix of good and bad, but mostly getting grades for singing, without ever properly being taught anything (not talking about the first 2 grades here, also ever onward, in a class of 30) and then some mix of tests on musical history.

The outcome? I still enjoy music despite this torture of lessons, but I never properly learned to play an instrument, and was mostly dissuaded instead of encouraged.
Maybe it’s a sign nothing is broken and it doesn’t need fixing.

Security Best Practices for Your Rails Application
I read the New York Times article on this yesterday and discussed it with my wife (neuroscientist). Our discussion went like this:

Wife: "This is bonkers, the entire point of orgo is to cull the pre-med students. When I took orgo they showed the planned curve and explicitly said: one-third of you will fail."

Me: "Yeah, we had classes like that in electrical engineering as well, it was understood that that was the point of the class. It is hard to avoid the implication that Gen Z is really spectacularly entitled."

Wife: "It's the explosion effect. They have learned they should feel entitled to good things, like being treated well no matter their identity or background or whatever. But they also are entitled for other areas where entitlement is not justified."

I thought that was a pretty insightful thought!
As an insider of the automated manufacturing space, your ERP analogy is good but missing one detail: every other large company eventually gets an ERP working. Tesla is an outlier in regard to their manufacturing processes and even much lower margin industries tend to design new factories around the automation platform yet Tesla just...doesn't?

I've never worked with Tesla so have no inside info on their situation but their factory designs have always seemed strange to me - like they refuse to follow industry norms.
What does that even mean ?
yeah, this is all very hand-wavy from the get-go
Would be interesting to know when or if that's still the current case.

In Germany I found the focus on WW2 a tad much (but that was '93 to '02). Sure, it's important, but I think they could've gone at least one year out of nine where it wouldn't come up, and instead ignoring a huge amount of epochs outright, or with a laser focus on central europe.

I can't login to Vivaldi's support forums to report any of these annoyances/bugs because it's been giving me an 'Internal Server Error..' since the weekend. Even though [as with Brave and Google] I'm shown as logged into Vivaldi if I visit any of their other account related pages.

That's what some of my students believe, but is wrong in socialized education countries. Here, the government are my paymasters. They pay me to train students to become engineers. And they set the bar. And students need to reach that bar.

So, we are not in-hoc to the students. They are not consumers paying for a service. They are in a privileged position that they are receiving an education, an investment, and it is their responsibility to reach the desired standard.

That said, we also have some (not that much) pressure to pass more students, as the university makes more money.
I see versions of this all the time. My suspicion is that we’ve take the ‘customer is always right’ concept too far out of business and into unrelated (notionally) fields.

By definition these students take this course because they do not understand the subject, how can they then be qualified to determine how hard it should be?

The article also implies some poor manners from the professor which is an entirely different issue.
> The fact that online cheating is so widespread even among top chess players is certainly news to many, including me.

A few weeks ago my daughter very proudly announced that she managed to "outsmart" (=hack) her online test app used by her class. I was shocked and asked why she would do that, she's smart enough to get an A without that. She seemed obviously puzzled by my question and my lack of enthusiasm about her "achievement" she was so proud of (it involved some JS modifications). I guess is it's just another kind of thrill.
This person speaks the truth, and one would be wise to internalize his perspective. I've seen this first hand, for decades. Lies, half truths, and blind belief someone else's job is looking out for others. Someday in the not so distant future, a large scale automation is going to kill thousands while destroying our entire civilization's belief "the technology people" know what they are doing.

I have a model X raven (2019) and model 3 awd (late 2021), both have radar and hw3, and both have the update that has disabled the radar.

Pre-patch there was maybe a phantom brake (hard brake) every six months, but lots of small slowdowns where you could almost sense the car got conflicting input (once pr 100 km maybe).

The latter is gone and I have not had any phantom brakes yet, but I've had a slow down where a bus went into my lane. The cars behaviour in stop and go traffic is also much better now.

The only regression I've found is that it's a bit more confused in a local spot where the road splits in two in a turn to the right. In the past it went into the right lane without much fuzz, but now it is confused for a second or two before it decides on the right lane.

Tbh, as a daily user of these cars I think the no radar update was an improvement.
The final proof of how institutionally removed from reality are the dreaming incompetent elites of EU. However, more importantly, there is no excuse not to see that any state central planned idiocy has the same roots, causes, and effects/results.

Sure, private sector is also planned but they have a hard-core reality check in terms of being economic (at least some who are removed the wickedness of lobbying for state favoritism). This brings memories of all the USSR style stories/books/movies from 50-90ties of comical inefficiency, bureaucratic paralysis, and faking of everything post-fact (statistics, narratives, etc). There are entire libraries documenting idiocy of such practices, its detrimental effects on economy as well as environment. I do not see (as expected) no assessment nor processes for basic feedback to reality how to metric the original goals, and unintended effects (which dominate). It seems that there is no choice, I was born in communism and will die in communism, with completely predictable outcome.

Laugh because its funny and cry because its true.
So there are no bad teachers?
This is very sad to read to be honest. My prof. was an old school guy who was author for few very in-depth books about organic chemistry.

He was very, very demanding and his class was very hard, our median scores were around 20-30% lower than in any other class, but in the end, I can def. say that after two years studying with that dude, it was my strongest subject, I could literally spit pages of text about anything in his exams in the end.

It was very hard, but it was very worth it and very fun to actually understand whats going on inside large chemical reactors.

Ofc, there are some teachers/professors that are making things too hard with no purpose (like robot-reading walls of text in a super speed mode and then demanding you to remember them on exam word by word), but some of them just have high standards and its a good thing

Had to look up what Kiwi Farm even is/was.

> Supporters of the Drop Kiwi Farms campaign celebrated the Internet Archive’s decision. “Internet heroes right here,” tweeted Yonah Gerber, who urged the Archive to remove the site. Kiwi Farms is known for collecting and publicizing personal details about targets it holds in contempt, many of whom are transgender women like Sorrenti. While the site ostensibly discourages direct harassment, Sorrenti has faced swatting attacks and persistent threats during her campaign, and other targets have had similarly ugly experiences. Kiwi Farms has been allegedly linked with three suicides, including an emulator developer who blamed the site for a relentless harassment operation soon before their death. [1]

Yeah, I have to say that I recognize nuance and am okay with archive.org nixing content like the above.
