Google to Pay $85M to Settle Arizona User-Tracking Suit
Ultimately it is just numbers on two systems if he already has the liquid cash [1], it shouldn't matter how big the numbers are, the transaction workflow is more or less the same. In the Revlon transfer Citibank screwed up that $900M only had 3 people working on the actual execution and verification.

While it is lot of one person to control individually, and even sizeable for a company to operate daily it is not that much in the grand scheme of things. These days some companies have cash balances that size, famously Apple had more than $200+ Billion in short term assets at one point.

Big banks regularly deal with billions of dollars transferred around everyday. Market makers and central bankers etc do these numbers frequently without blinking twice.

[1] His bankers who are already underwriting the loans can also easily loan him the rest against Tesla stock.
We do carry some of the blame. But we are not responsible for local politicians all too happy to accept bribes and societies all too happy to close their eyes. Why are there no strong environmentalist movements in india? Is it a democracy or not? Cant people in china see whats happening with their rivers and cities? You cant possibly have one billion people sitting idle and doing nothing to change the status quo, and then shift the blame on us.
I said it’s the same VisualEditor. As in, it’s literally the same extension. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VisualEditor
I never claimed the defaults are the same. VisualEditor will likely become default on Wikipedia at some point in the future, as it’s an opt-in feature. And it can be turned off on Fandom, which I’m sure core contributors are likely to.

As a platform, Fandom provides the same visual editor that is provided by MediaWiki. That was the claim.
How are sum-types handled in deep learning?

E.g., a type that holds "a 3x2 tensor OR a 4x6x2x5 tensor".
> And after the game he was unable to explain his own ideas, proposed ideas that were simply losing, referenced games that did not exist, and was generally (relative to the class of player here) clueless

Aside from Niemann's case, how is it strategically beneficial to a chess player to provide the "inside scoop" on his plays?

You're presupposing incompetence, but another explanation would be a deliberate strategy to throw off future opponents.
I might take into consideration rapid rise in ratings, and even this chess.com report, but please, this argument about post game interview is pure nonsense. It is not a 'tell' in the slightest. Any player with at least IM title will give you a decent analysis of that position if he wants, and Niemann is certainly better than IM even without alleged computer help. He was visibly disinterested in the interview and it was conducted in a rather hostile manner, so it is perfectly understandable that he probably just wanted a break and rest.
Other players have had questionable post-game interviews. This is evidence but without history of cheating it wouldn't mean much.
Like the Blit and a lot of Wirth's ETH Zurich machines?

I think there was some Swedish Unix 68k system that had a pivot CRT rather early on, too.
Maybe it's not to the extent that people are saying, but the charts clearly show that the EU and the US do outsource their emissions.

It really is an indication that someone lacks critical thinking skills. To read satire and never question its validity implies they accepted it uncritically, never asked if it was plausible or reasonable, never thought if the source was trustworthy, never thought to get an independent view. The inability to understand sarcasm and irony really does speak poorly of a person's ability to navigate the world of information overload we live in.
I used to be irritated about all the crap I suffered through. School was very difficult for me. University was a complete breeze, which shocked me.

But as an adult I look back and am glad that I was exposed to all those subjects and concepts. I forgot most of them but I remember the broad concepts enough that I am at least literate when smart people are talking. This applies to the arts more than the sciences for me.

I’m still angry that the website kidnaps me and ruins my back arrow.
> Today’s planetary ecological crisis is due first and foremost to the increasing scale of the capitalist world economy

This is sort of true except that there isn’t some significant alternative thing which is also getting people out of poverty and improving their material standards of living with things like more and more varied food and larger houses and manufactured goods and electrical lighting and smartphones and air conditioners and cars and office buildings and suchlike. There are a few small communist states (excluding China for having a mostly ‘capitalist world economy’ system just with a lot of state ownership and meddling) and some war-torn countries and a few failed states but these are not doing much climate change.

I think I would write that climate change is mostly caused by people getting richer and improving their material standards of living. (When the USSR was around being more communist, they were also causing climate change). When you put it like that, the idea which is hinted at (but not written down and maybe not really believed by the interviewee) of ‘just stop capitalism/economic growth’ translates to ‘freeze worldwide GDP per capita at its current level’ and means either keeping poor people at their very low standards of living or having people in western countries drop to a much lower standard of living such that others may come up, and that also ignores the future growing population.

Ignoring the obvious reasons that that idea is stupid, it’s worth noting that:

- richer countries have falling emissions (even when accounting for trade/outsourcing) and still manage to grow so wanting economic growth needn’t imply climate change.

- there is also an expected need to remove existing CO2 from the atmosphere and suiciding the economy of rich countries is not going to be good for developing and paying for the solutions.
McCarthyism was still a thing in 1950s.
Legally it depends on the jurisdiction. In my view everybody has the right though.

Just to be clear you have the right to protect yourself or others from unjust violence not all violence. If you are about to murder somebody, another person does not have the right to stop a good Samaritan trying to stop the murder.
There are a lot of people proposing models of economic development that don't necessarily rely on growth.

There's a lot of work done on degrowth and similar modes of production. Though I haven't really read too much into it (just getting into this topic recently) a lot of the authors are staunch critics of capitalism so it leads me to believe that there are other systems out there that aren't necessarily capitalists and probably align with socialism much more.

Just to give a brief example, think about private ownership of a firm versus worker ownership of it and how it would change the way that firm approaches pollution. In the first it is very easy for the owners to be detached from the pollution they produce as they can simply move to another city without the firm really be affected in any way. Whereas in the second one it wouldn't be possible for workers to move as they would be unable to continue working, so pollution affects them and their families directly in which case there are much stronger incentives for them to cut profits in order to greenify their production. First is a capitalist mode of production, second is a socialist one.
SQLite and QEMU have been successful in large part because of their limited scope. Further expanding the scope of a project puts it at risk of becoming unfocused and unmaintainable. It makes a lot more sense to start a new project to support this use case than to try to reshape SQLite.
Anyone who does a STEM degree?

I mean, if you're an engineer and you don't know the relationship between position, velocity and acceleration - you're going to have a bad time.
This is my favorite sentence:

> There are 550 members of the CSA participating in the Matter standard development, and this summer 280 companies including Amazon, Signify, Google, SmartThings, and more met up to test their products working together in a series of test events.

Creating a specification is good, but it doesn't matter if no one will implement it. I haven't been following the development of Matter, but as an outsider this is a very good sign.
Yes, a statistics course is so much more useful. It's not emphasized in school but it will truly help through out your life if you understand it.
It's not immediately clear to me that this is illegal. If anything, the Feds didn't "seize" the Bitcoin, they forcibly acquired a license to the wallet's private key. If they didn't understand that the license was non-exclusive, well, that's not the fault of the other licensees.
It isn’t exactly home networking, but Ubiquiti’s stuff has good VLAN and firewall capabilities.
This is irrelevant and misses the point.

Even a completely 'trashed' earth that renders billions displaced or suffering amidst ecological catastrophe is still infinitely more hospitable to life than celestial bodies that are completely devoid of that benefit in the first place.
The rotisserie and the hodogs are clear loss leaders (or maybe just "almost no profit" leaders). I don't believe Costco treats milk or eggs as loss leaders. Google'd comparison sites show that Costco milk, for instance, is more expensive than Aldi or Trader Joe's. And eggs may be cheaper per dozen (maybe) than Trader Joe's but are still more expensive than Aldi's. And you have to buy them in larger batches.
> A lot of people will gladly take a "pay cut" to work fully remote or in a location they actually want to be.

I thought Musk hates remote workers.
Thanks for the patented HN contrarian view! :)

It's true, comment boards reward the "oddly formulaic" - cliches and well-worn passages carry extra weight.

They also lead to weird leaps of illogic, like your assumption I follow any growth gurus at all!

Happy to have a longer conversation offline if you'd rather address a man instead of a strawman.
Fair, I was only thinking of the visual spectrum and in this context that’s not right. :)
I posted my work history along with what I was looking for in the equivalent job seeking thread along with sending an e-mail to interesting opportunities in the who is hiring threads.

I got a fair number of follow ups and interviews, but ultimately decided to go with a different direction.

I still think that thread is excellent for Europeans like me to search for jobs abroad.
> If it did turn out that Zatko had been talking to Musk's team, that would be a very big deal, not only undercutting a big part of Musk's current case (which he was set to lose anyways) but also falsifying several statements made both to the Delaware court and also to Congress(?!).

I largely agree with this supposition, which makes it unfortunate that Musk (and co) can take a step like this to try to eliminate discovery that could point to perjury and a clear conspiracy for market-manipulation.
> I think it can be very easily assumed once a single officer opens fire at a moving vehicle the rest will assume a threat was assessed.

The flipside of that is that individual officers have greater opportunity to be more strategic and deliberate with their shots.

> The focus of this thread should clearly be on why the first officer perceived a threat this wrongly - not how many rounds were fired.

The number of rounds fired is itself a problem, on top of them being fired without anything vaguely resembling good cause. It suggests blind fear on the shooters' part rather than actually assessing and verifying a threat.

> That's not what happened here.

That's exactly what happened here. Cops got scared of a cop-killing rogue cop, said cops saw something that vaguely resembled said cop-killer's vehicle, said cops immediately panicked and emptied their magazines at it.

> These officers probably had 2 or 3 spare magazines on their person.

Which one would then have to reload. Reload time might not seem like that big of a deal, but it still adds precious seconds that would mean the difference between life and death - you know, assuming this was an actual threat.
Yes this is a great point. I wonder if to achieve that, a back pressure is required in the system that we are just not willing to put up with. Example, cruel warlords keeping the serfs in misery, or hunter gatherer tribes annihilating each other. Or more modern, some central authority allocating resources.
Being a TA and discovering that about half the class was engaged in a singular cheating ring (that does not mean the other half is free from cheating) changed my perspective as to how cheating should be dealt with.

In general I feel that if enough people are doing the "wrong" thing, then punishing most of the population is probably an even worse move. Failing individuals, marking their transcript, or kicking them out of college may seem acceptable when you have the perspective that only individuals cheat. But when you hypothetically punish over half the student body by taking their money and kicking them out...
> I’m a little sad to see them embrace magic “insert unit” pricing, instead of taking the approach Altinity uses where you are renting an instance size that you can compare apples-to-apples with running your own cluster on ec2.

Thanks for this comment. We'll be publishing a blog at Altinity to compare both models. My view is that they both have their place. The BigQuery pricing model is great for testing or systems that don't have constant load. The Altinity model is good for SaaS systems that run constantly and need the ability to bound costs to ensure margins.

Having a selection of vendors that offer different economics seems better for users than everyone competing for margin on the same operational model.

Real French cheese is made from raw milk, which is banned under USA food safety laws. It is objectively much tastier than the pasteurized stuff, and nobody dies from eating it.
This comment perfectly encapsulates the point that I am making about best practices: the concept is used as a cudgel to silence debate and to confer a sense of superiority on the practitioner of "best practice." It is almost always an appeal to authority.

No one wants cowboy pilots ignoring ground control. Doctors though do not exactly have the best historical track record.

Knowledge communities should indeed work towards consensus and constantly be trying to improve themselves. Consensus though is not always desirable. Often consensus goes in very, very dark directions.
Even if there is some universal best practice for some particular problem, my belief is that codifying certain things as "best practice" and policing the use of alternative strategies is more likely to get in the way of actually getting closer to that platonic ideal.
>There are better ways to exercise your brain that will be many more times better than Calculus. This is HW so one that comes to mind is programming.

And become a programmer who doesn't know calculus?
Err, "no technology currently exists" is wrong, "no technology can possibly exist" to say whether something if definitively called.

It's an undecidable problem in any of the top programming languages, and some of the sub problems (like aliasing) themselves are similarly statically undecidable in any meaningful programming language.

You can choose between over-approximation or under-approximation.
Hydrogen fuel cells won't happen. There are too many downsides.

Hydrogen must be stored as a compressed gas or as a deep cryogenic liquid. Either way such tanks are expensive, heavy, and create safety concerns. Hydrogen is a very pernicious molecule, and leaks cannot be detected by human senses. All hydrogen vehicles and fueling stations need special sensors to detect leaks. Hydrogen is much easier to ignite than gasoline. Any concentration from 4-74% will explode in air, and the flame is nearly invisible.

Refueling a hydrogen tank involves going from high pressure to low pressure, which causes the fuel line and nozzle to get extremely cold. Even in southern California, refueling a few Toyota Mirais causes the nozzle to freeze to the valve. This limits refueling speeds and duty cycles.

Lastly, hydrogen is far less efficient as an energy storage medium. With a battery, you put electricity in and get electricity out. It's 80-90% efficient. With hydrogen, you use electricity to split water, then compress and liquefy the hydrogen, then run it through a fuel cell. The fuel cell itself is 40-60% efficient. At the end of the whole process, around 30% of your initial electricity comes out of the fuel cell.
Whatever happened during online play on a second rate chess site is hardly a reason to ban player from OTB events without evidence of cheating in such events.

Magnus cares deeply about the image of chess as a sport. He has done a great deal to popularize chess. Cheating threatens the legitimacy of chess itself.

It makes sense that Magnus would take a stand on it, even if he risks losing face by doing so.
"Peak UML" was late 90s to early 00s. The Agile manifesto was written in 2001, right at that peak.
As long as oil is needed to manufacture the plastics needed for assembly and the circuitry boards in which semiconductors ultimately live, I'd wager that the petrodollar is incredibly safe.

You learn gradient descent in calculus, it is based on derivatives...
The model weights around 4GB + various dependencies end up at least 6GB. So in order for people to get it running in 4 minutes, you need to have at least a 400Mbit/s connection (would download in around 3 minutes, leaving one minute for entering the commands for installing + running).

It is very easy to get started, average technical person with OK connection could get it up and running in 15 minutes with something like https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI probably
You see, you've made quite the fool of yourself here.

I actually run my own hardware on a 250mbit fibre line from my garage. I have several systems in there and know what "running you own pieces" can do for you.

I'm also close to 40 years old. I'm probably older than you are.

I would have gladly engaged you and offered you what I know, but you've chosen to attack rather than work with.

Good luck.
I'm slightly confused about the relationship between chess.com and these tournaments. If he gets caught cheating at a FIDE tournament, they could do whatever they want -- ban him for life, whatever, it is up to them. If he gets caught cheating on an online game, whether it is chess.com or counterstrike, who cares? It is an unranked online game (or the ranking is tied to some account gamerscore thing).

Unless their chess.com scores feed into their FIDE ELO scores or something?

Grit is useless without focus. Calculus, and math in general, provides focus: it cuts through the BS.

We aren't living in an era of people suffering because they did too much calculus they don't need.

We are, on the other hand, living in an era where people are lied to, fooled, prayed upon, and duped everyday, because they can't understand math.

We also live in an era where people could do amazing things, even as amateur hobbyists with some math and science knowledge, but are drowned in BS doom-scrolling, binge-watching of crap, and the like...
> You don't sign a purchase agreement with absolutely zero wiggle room to negotiate

You also don’t do that for a company you don’t truly intend to purchase, especially when being guided by lawyers that only you and perhaps a dozen other people in the world can afford to engage for representation.

Whatever all this drama was…it’s way too early to make any informed judgement about motivations of the parties involved.

> The parking sensors on the Tesla are really good and very useful.

I respectfully disagree.

I think their primary use case is parking. Tesla does a really good job with automatic parking, and it IS useful especially for parallel parking.

But honestly, I have curbed my rims and hung up my underbody front spoiler on a curb and they did not help.

Really there is an opportunity for cameras to protect the car from nearby curbs and park in the same way.

But like you said, current telsa camera placement doesn't have enough coverage, especially in front.

At a minimum, I think they should add a front camera if they're going to remove the ultrasonic sensors.

and realistically, they should solve the ultrasonic problem of curbs with the cameras.
