What I'm saying is clearly a jury (if this went to court, I don't know and will not research further since it's irrelevant) had facts and knowledge that you do not. Specifically, the knowledge possessed by the officers at the moment this happened.

We have the benefit of knowing all the facts now, after the event occurred. We are privy to information the officers did not have at that moment - specifically that it was an unarmed vehicle without the suspect inside.

Very often the outrage from these events centers around post-event facts that were not known at the time the event happened. This is why it often appears like LEO's get "off" without punishment when the reality is they acted reasonably given the information they had at the moment.

Perhaps it should be discussed if the call was actually reasonable or not. That's fine. What's not fine is pretending 107 rounds fired means anything at all... it doesn't.

So no, despite what TV wants you to think, there are not gangs with badges driving around shooting up random trucks for funsies. That's just not reality.

> The first rule of using firearms

To be pedantic, this is not the first rule of firearms.
Just to clarify, when it says "1 car length", the car adjusts the amount of space depending on speed. So its not literally just one car length.

It's dramatically better than `T*` if your data isn't a pointer in the first place.
Hey. I myself am vegan but I don't like to exclude people so I would make an option to filter for allergies and how someone eats.
Yes defining what food is what is pretty difficult. I mean I think I solve this issue with time through ratings of the food. The price would be just the ingredient costs to keep it low and avoid legal issues.
FIDE are doing their own investigation, but the chess.com cheat detection algorithm is apparently well regarded, and online cheating is obviously very simple to do. He's admitted cheating online as recently as 3 years ago. If he can reasonably be proved to having cheated online more often and more recently than he has admitted to, then that gives good reason to suspect he'll have cheated OTB too given the chance.

There are various ways one might cheat OTB, from taking one's phone the bathroom in the middle of a tournament (some allow this!!), to getting signals from an accomplice who is seeing the game in real time. Signals could be electronic to some device on the player, or visual from an audience member in the room. It's been proposed to introduce a 15-30 min broadcast delay in tournament games as one way to prevent cheating. Some tournaments scan the players for electronic devices - not sure how foolproof this is.
These tools remove bloat. Autovacuum removes dead tuples. They are often confused, but dead tuple and bloat are different though connected concepts.

A lot of accumulated dead tuples (row versions marked dead but still present occupying space) are converted to bloat (empty space, gaps) when VACUUM cleans them up.
That specific scenario is just considered normal good prep - they will even play games against people who "play" their opponent's openings. That's all well known but you can't memorize enough to make a major difference.

> Generally public officials in countries with fair elections are an order of magnitude better than public officials in countries without fair elections. For example, compare Bush II with Ahmadinejad.

I agree with your general statement, but I think Ahmadinejad is a bad example. Ahmadinejad was voted into office, and a few years later was voted out of office. Ayatollah Khamenei is probably a better example.
There's an ancillary realization that comes with this, and that is the fact that many of us are actively building a security state via tech that will enforce the status quo more effectively than any other system in history has, and it won't matter how many people want change after that.
I think that can limit creativity though. Look at Albert Einstein. I don’t think he had much of a formal education, certainly he was not involved with any institution when he wrote his groundbreaking paper.

Sometimes, being involved in big, political institutions can have the result of stamping out original/independent thinking in favor of established dogma. To be clear, I’m not arguing against the act of learning in itself - Hendrix and others learned on the job, so to speak, and listened extremely widely. I guess I’m speaking more against formal education/credentialism, which of course has its place, mostly in the hard sciences where it is important to have an objectively good understanding of the dogma.
Back when I was 6, then 10, then 14, there were some activities I can go for hours without ever want to interrupt. Parents shouted me to dinner, tried to reason me to go out, but to no avail.

These were constructing things (first from plasticine, then from MEccano-like sets), reading, and then hacking computer. Generally, those are still things I can do for hours and even days.
They are absolutely not streaming the data to Tesla in real-time.
They are storing some data on-board to retrieve later which makes it convenient for them to deflect blame in crashes.
> Get rid of it and nobody will ever become a cop.

Hello, I live in Europe. We don't have qualified immunity here, but we have police officers. How do you explain this?

Germany is by the way far more litigious than the US, so no, don't go pulling this, "But we have more lawsuits" thing.

----

Is there a way to stop you guys doing this? "It's impossible to do X" when in fact you are the only country that doesn't do X? It's simply embarrassing after decades and generations of this.
>The reason why they decided to remove ultrasonics is that combining contradictory signals from cameras and ultrasonic is not straightforward.

It's fairly well known that nearly any kind of sensor fusion 'is not straightforward'. If that's a fact that was just recently discovered by Tesla -- causing a recent change in their lineup only now -- .... well, i'll just say that it speaks to Tesla's confidence being greater than their technological prowess.

I don't think that's the underlying issue here myself. I think this change is likely caused by an effort to get away from certain vendors and ship cars more rapidly.

>What should have the higher precedence?

again, this isn't a new problem and there are volumes of resources regarding that. It's a tough problem, but not new.
when they were 12.
No way, look at the facts, if that were true Musk would've paid 1B and it ends there.

The "breakup fee" was a judge ordering him to pay 44B, plus a lot embarrassment. As @matwood pointed out, you start negotiating from that.
I think that's not the right lens to view it through. To me, this is more like a turbo charged version of Bezos buying the Washington Post. Twitter might be totally insignificant in terms of eyeballs/dollars compared to TikTok, but it is extremely important in cultural terms. It's not just about money but about influence. Also, Twitter was horrendously mismanaged for many years, probably because none of the key execs or board had enough skin in the game. Elon can probably terminate or "manage out" 80%+ of the employees without harming the underlying business meaningfully, so you can't really just look at historical financials here.
It's just back to my point. This change will cause me to throw away a significant amount of cables (some over 5 years old). That's a decent amount of waste.
With GitHub Actions building a solid CI pipeline has never been easier. I built one with linting, tests, coverage and packaging to ghcr in an hour this weekend for Go. Python would have been very similar.
> Most bans are for 6-12 months which is a joke.
An athlete's professional career is roughly ten years* with the majority of their earning potential to be an even smaller set of those years. A ban from being paid for 12 months may represent 10% or more of an athlete's career earning potential.

*Of course this varies a lot by sport, gymnastics careers are obviously very short, a golfer's career may be much longer.
Prior to capitalism, I know of no system where “consequence of consumption” was a major aspect of the system. I’m trying to figure out where capitalism becomes a factor here.
Of course, but I'd also argue that smart home appliances are mainly for those with some technical knowledge, especially configuring them to work together. It's actually no linger uncommon to find networking gear with these features, only that most people just use what their ISP gives them.

It's a matter of defaults - isp provided firewall/routers these days commonly come with a guest WiFi mode, and good ones even segregate that network. I can envision an iot mode that would a large minority of users could use.
There's always going to be users who don't care, or don't have the technical knowledge, but recognise that stories on /r/sysadmin skew away from the "average user".
> Just so you know, (depending on who you read) those with untreated ADHD may live, on average, 10 fewer years than the rest of the population. So if I had to chose between your concerns and 10 better quality years, I know what I'm picking.

I don't have a problem with that.

> Where are you getting this from? Any papers? If this is the consensus then I really must not have been paying attention (pun intended)

The burden of proof is on them to show that they are not speculating. Some kind of repeatable physiological test would do nicely.

> You seem to have a lot of "observational" experience in a specific setting, but little more knowledge or understanding than the tip of the iceberg "top-5 symptoms". ADHD is an incredibly complex developmental issue. Look at the issues with ADHD and gauging signals from the body, how those affect eating. Look at various issues with sensitivities sensory stimulation. Issues with inhibition and how they permeate behaviours. Reducing ADHD to "focus" is like reducing baseball to throwing a ball around.

I may have confused you by mistakenly saying the brain is "complicated" when I should have said "complex." What I meant was mind-bogglingly unimaginably confusingly tricky and hard to understand. Also, I don't recall reducing ADHD to "focus," where did I do that? I'm quite curious, what are the top-6-through-10 symptoms that I should be made aware of so I can better understand?

> Maybe look into some of Dr Russel Barkley's lectures. Some of them are a little dated but mostly accurate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzhbAK1pdPM&t

As someone who likes to learn with a bit of an interest in the subject, I'll have a look. Thank you for the reference.
I wonder if Keith Haring's estate will sue, or just pity someone who spent that much time copying someone else's style.
That has never been the definition of a recession. All recessions are declared by NBER and NBER has always used a large number of metrics in their calculations. You can see the official list of "peak months" and "trough months" here, and you'll note they don't line up cleanly with 2 quarters of negative growth:

That was a fee set for if Musk's financing fell through, it was not an opt-out that either side could choose to take.

Musk would've jumped at the chance to pay a measly billion to get out of it months ago if he'd had the opportunity.
I still remember the lecture when it all lined up, like the Omega molecule in that Star Trek episode.

Everything from Newton's laws, the quantum mechanics of a single electron, bulk materials (Ohm's law), semiconductors devices, communications theory (esp. Shannon's limit, Nyquist etc), Norton and Thévenin models, logic gates, ALUs, frequency domain operations, state machines, coding theory, all of it.

It was a lecture where we basically figured out the required ADC clock jitter upper limit to get a certain number of bits at a certain sample rate[1]. At some point something fundamental like conservation of energy was invoked and I had a holy-shit moment when it all made sense.

However, I do question how much of the grinding away at the maths is necessary and how much is tradition that may have made sense in slide rule and table days. Perhaps a more holistic and intuitive method with an emphasis on "if you need to do this in detail, remember this is where you go". Personally, I can barely remember any domain equations at all, other than Ohm's law![2]

[1] It popped out as something like femto or attosecond and the lecturer said something like "and consider this when buying expensive audio files" (this was back when they were hard to get).

[2] as the same lecturer as above told us on the first day in campus: "honestly, all you need is Ohm's law, everything else we're going to teach you is just that in a dress, you just need to know how to get back to it".
The merger agreement stipulates that Twitter can require specific performance (that is: force musk to buy them). It's an open question whether or not the judge would have ruled that way, but Musk was consistently losing the early battles.
As a Clojure admirer who has learned it enough to get things done (and subsequently forgotten it) twice, I recently had the positive REPL experience that people talk about. Or at least I think I did. I was able to write a web scraping tool almost entirely in the REPL.

However, I find myself running Ruby/Rails (console) in debug mode in RubyMine (Jetbrains IDE). The REPL-like experience seems quite close to that of Clojure, with the added benefit of being able to easily enable and disable breakpoints and see my local data (and snapshots of all previous local data up the call stack).

And honestly, the Clojure thing that always stops me from actually getting a full anything built is the lack of frameworks and approaches which have critical mass. It's always the same answer, "We like to choose our own libraries." That's lovely once you know what you're doing, but the ramp-up time is just SO much slower than with other languages.

Considering the time to working proof of concept is critical quite often, few beginners have time to figure out all the libraries and tooling and integrations to build something in Clojure.

I think despite still wishing I had a Clojure backend with Clojurescript/React frontend, I'll step from my Rails PoC to a Phoenix/Elixir product and be successful and happy (and have a lot of people doing something similar, with similar tools and libraries).
Depp would not be considered ultra rich. Depp has a net worth of 650 million at peak, which is tiny compared to Musk, Bezos, etc.
A lot of kids at least need to have the opportunity of being exposed to something before they can decide if it’s for them or not.

The amount of kids who purely decide to take Calculus is next to nothing. They need applied interests to see the usefulness of higher math. For a lot of us, that was software or programming.
What kind of range does this specific vehicle get? They've said they're aiming for 300km but that will require density increases to get there, curious what it is now
While I have no idea what kind of distributed system would need 7+ 9s, there are plenty of solution providers who at least promise it as part of their marketing. I truly disbelieve that these companies don't have any point of failure within their system that would take them under that threshold, even if it hasn't been challenged to date, but that level of availability is still the published goal. Hopefully needless to say, but 99.9% is not acceptable for most "important" (and yes, advertising is important) applications outside of US-East-1 somehow. Quick examples, no experience with any of these:
* https://www.infinidat.com/en/news/press-releases/infinidat-h...
* https://vindicia.com/blog/9999999-global-system-uptime/
* https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/A856LOWK

Bad examples? Certainly yes. Are there any good examples? Maybe, doubtful. Does any system actually need 7 9s? Maybe, doubtful.
I always wondered if this could work, that is if it'd be more energy efficient that using fuel/batteries to reach cruising altitude:

- use lighter than air balloon to life an aircraft to cruising altitude

- transition to powered flight while collapsing the balloon (by compressing the gas into liquid form?). Or maybe detaching from it?

- cruise

- at destination, glide towards touch down?
The problem is, the automations you might want and the combination of devices you might want them to act on is large enough that manufacturers can’t possibly foresee them all. When you want to do something ever so slightly outside the stock functionality, it’s helpful to have a little knowledge.

And let’s not forget, it’s helpful to be able to augment smart devices that already exist to do things like this rather than throwing them out and buying a newer one that can do it on its own.
I saw that Java support was still in beta. But it makes me wonder if it's going to come with a "don't use reflection" disclaimer, then...?
I think there a better argument to be made here and it's: you need to understand what's possible and what's not in a broad spectrum of fields.

Case in point: a lot of bad cooking/cleaning advice comes from the lack of understanding of high-school level chemistry.
False. Not bad enough to discourage a potential $100B semiconductor factory.
While prices at home in the US go through the roof because all that exported oil means more local competition for that smaller amount of oil left remaining and available on the home market.

That's called shooting yourself in the foot.
No, if they both have the cutout problem, they'll just cutout in sequence.

You'd probably do better to have a supercapacitor or float charge a battery with an amenable chemistry between the power bank and the load.
Oh no where is that emoji? Time for Parag to send it back to Elon :D
What I've Been Up to Lately
Who benefits from the pendulum swing? I can't imagine musk cares that much what the anti-musk crowd thinks.
I think it's quite different. For GPUs these archiecture-specific optimizations / primitives make orders of magnitude difference (and also change from version to version). On the other hand, multicore code I wrote ~8 years ago in TBB or Cilk is still extremely fast compared to hand-optimized code customized for current CPU architectures.

To summarize my gripe, it's is that the abstractions on GPUs seem broken, and we still don't have a good model for how to write high performance GPU code that just works and keeps getting faster as GPUs get faster.
While Fossil may be obscure, it's also dog fooding for them. Fossil uses SQLite. It is built on top of SQLite.
$7.1 billion in equity from 19 independent investors.

$20 billion cash from Musk, $6.25 billion in personal bank loans to Musk (he is hooking his Tesla stocks)

Rest is senior secured bank loans and subordinated debt loaned against Twitter stock. The cost of the debt is about $1 billion per year if I remember correctly.
A write unit is not the same thing as a single insert, if for that cost you've multiplied it up.
With the removal of radar, they showed some pretty convincing data that the radar was too noisy to be useful, especially with discriminating things like highway overpasses vs. stopped cars. They showed that vision could already outperform radar.

With these parking sensors it's different. They have no current alternative and it will cause a pretty significant loss of functionality. Disappointing move.
The pendulum hasn’t swung at all on that. The people who were unhappy with Musk buying Twitter are still unhappy and have the same concerns. The only thing that changed is instead of him getting Twitter for the same price (but probably higher value, since he has spent months damaging it) months ago, he had to wait. In the meanwhile he made a bunch of humiliating statements, has suffered a humiliating defeat, and with the intervening damage sustained by the likes of Meta Twitter appears far less powerful today than it did then.
Carter didn't deregulate the gas, which was a huge drag on the economy as everyone had to wait hours in line for gas.

> Reagan switched to a deficit-based fiscalized economy,

That was caused by the Democrat-controlled Congress. Reagan tried to get a balanced budget, and Congress stymied him every time.

> hollowed out manufacturing, and channeled cash upwards towards the wealthy.

That's just propaganda.

> “breaking away”

is a fictional movie. Please use factual references.
> Musk is the one billionaire that I honestly believe thinks of humanity's best interests in the big picture, long term.

I could believe that he thinks he's that billionaire. However, his competence leaves something to be desired. Just yesterday, he had a peace proposal for the current Russo-Ukrainian war that boils down to "give Russia everything it wants" on the basis that that's what the eventual peace is going to be, the fact that the Russian military and milblogger sphere is in full-blown panic over Ukrainian successes in Lyman and near Kherson. Or take this case, where Musk and his attorneys have completely shot their credibility with the judge--in a case where there will be no jury, only the judge ruling on the merits.

In short, Musk does seem to have the tech-bro attitude of "I always know what the right answer is, and everyone who tries to tell me otherwise is an idiot." That is not the kind of person I want working towards humanity's best interests.
With great power comes great responsibility.

When using the REPL you can quickly experiment until it does what you want, but you need the discipline to distill something maintainable from it afterwards.
I have had a model 3 for four years and the autopilot has steadily gotten worse.

In summer 2019 we went on a road trip that was 10 hours of total driving (each way), where I actually drove for maybe 30 mins total. It was flawless and downright magical.

Since then we often have the car slam brakes out of the blue (once waking up my sleeping family and causing both kids to cry), and a few other times.

I have lost trust with the autopilot system. It’s that simple. And I LOVE my model 3, the supercharger network, all else.

I don’t know what’s going on over there but I am not remotely convinced that they have their act together with vision-only based autonomous driving.
All of Europe has public service. Actually most of the world does, not just authoritarian countries. Even the US has NPR, PBS and (god forbid) VOA. I'm not saying it's not all propaganda, but it's definitely not the kind you're thinking about (in most countries anyway.)
I don't really agree with this. It seems to be based on the assumption that the entire purpose of school is to prepare you for a job. Obviously that's important, but education also simply enriches your life. Some of the electives I took in high school and college have had a great impact on the way view things, or the way I live my life, despite having nothing to do with my career.

Also, lots of math is optional (depending on your school and career.) You may not use calc or trig regularly, but most people use some algebra and geometry.
I saw the scientific term, “Text Understander” and wrongly thought I was the audience.
Seems like the "upstanding" thing to do would be to ship without (and credit for the omission) and offer free retrofit once available.
