Because the article is about the why of militaries, and in case you didn’t read it, the article explicitly calls out the use of tear gas by police etc. as chemical weapon use, but as being orthogonal to the point they wanted to discuss.
I have a 2020 BMW, with the same features. I have never had an issue in over 30,000 miles of driving. My previous generation BMW, also similarly equipped, did not have these issues. It did trigger the rear collision alert a handful of times, although all that does is tighten the seatbells and beep (i think).

So, these features can work reliably, and I don't think using a poor implementation is useful in this conversation.

The reality is that tesla has removed sensors from their playbook, which can only decrease the information the car has to work with.
Linear No-Threshold doesn't account for bioaccumulation of radioisotopes which is the more likely source of radiation-related disease and death.

That wasn’t BYU it was the University of Utah. They are very much not the same school. Also this has nothing to do with cold fusion.
Until omicron appeared in late 2021 there was a compelling case for vaccination and other steps to hinder Covid transmission. Health systems are still trying to deal with the overload and burnout from earlier Covid. Fortunately, current Covid is on the order of flu and hopefully it stays that way. It’s still there and spreading easily but current variants seem ok.
Counting is very different from integrating.

Lots of stuff in biology integrates continuous signals. Discrete counting of discrete events is quite rare.

In many senses you can compute with things that count discretely: Peano Arithmetic is undecidable. Yet unbounded dense linear orders (i.e. the theory of the rationals) are decidable, so you can't embed "program X halts" into them.
> The 1x engineer talks about their car and weekend, the 10x engineer talks about technology.

Call me a proud member of the 1x engineer club. When I close my laptop at the end of the day or even when I’m having lunch with my coworkers, few people would know that I’m an “engineer” at all. The list of things that I care about more than technology in my non work life is a mile long. Technology is a means to an end - to support my addiction to food and shelter.
That's taking it to extreme, though. It's possible that a large number of medium companies, for instance, would have the same open source yield as the megacorps who just bought them out (in our reality). Especially if it were easier for them to attract more talented engineers, which would be the case if the big companies had less of a grip on the existing market (e.g. if Meta were forced to split up, as regulators push for)

0. For chemical and biological weapons, there's in inverse relationship between dispersal characteristics and ease of force protection. For example, oily liquids such as VX disperse well, but personnel can be projected with simple charcoal lined protective clothes and gas mask filters. On the other hand, viruses and microtoxins are difficult to protect against, but they also have poor dispersal characteristics from bombs and projectiles.

1. The armed forces of major countries spend a lot of effort to LOOK as if they are prepared to operate under chemical and biological conditions. This includes large stockpiles of protective gear and regular exercises that include chemical weapons scenarios.

2. Chemical and biological weapons aren't used militarily because there's little reason to think that they would be effective.

> If we trust our leaders. And our leaders feed us a bunch of bullshit. And then, motivated by that bullshit, we nazi up. Does that make us bad people?

Yes, absolutely. Deferring to authority is no excuse for morally abhorrent behaviour. Of course if you’re under threat that’s a different matter. But blind trust in leadership is a poor excuse. It’s not like the nazis had no detractors in Germany.
Centrifugal or linear, 10000g is still a substantial force that any satellite must be designed to withstand.
So I think your points are valid. I also just want to state that pretty much every cardinal voter I know prefers STAR then Score then Approval. I'm STAR 5, Score 5, approval 4 (only slight preference of STAR over Score). But I think that resolves your concerns. It is just that in practice we find that Approval is easier to argue for and is good enough. From a personal stand point I'll argue with technical people about voting systems if we got approval but I wouldn't be an evangelist anymore.

Honestly the fact that the very opening line is “ A nuclear power plant produces 8000 times more power than fossil fuels” tells you the author doesn’t understand what they’re writing about. That’s gibberish. What does that even mean? Are they saying the average nuclear plant produces about as much electricity as the average 8,000 fossil fuel plants? (A cursory Google search tells me they’re actually both pretty close to a gigawatt.) Are they saying that a given amount of nuclear fuel produces 8,000 times as much energy as the same amount of natural gas, and thus just comparing energy density of fuel? That seems entirely worthless to know without dozens of other factors (fuel cost, disposal, environmental concerns, etc.).

When your lead in is gibberish (that would be obvious to anyone with half a brain) it’s hard to take the rest seriously.

My take is that Ashby's Law rules the roost

https://www.businessballs.com/strategy-innovation/ashbys-law...

Namely you have to simplify any problem in order to talk about it, solve it, teach it (making some of those reductions) but there is a certain amount of complexity that is fundamental to the problem.

For instance you can sometimes get away with treating a concurrent process as sequential, sometimes you can't.

The reductionist prays for the wisdom to know which simplifications they can get away with and which ones they can't. If your model captures the essential features you are OK, otherwise you are lost in the woods.
Strange, I have a GS65 which is pretty close and with archlinux it works smoothly with the Nvidia driver. All the bugs I had on Linux also manifested in some ways on windows so I think it just has shitty firmware.

In the US, Ukama will use Citizens Broadband Radio Service (or CBRS) spectrum, part of which is allocated for companies and members of the general public who want to make their own networks.
I was directly quoting the 2nd paragraph of article 6:

“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”

no, i was misunderstanding the word “notwithstanding” in the clause to be an escape valve for the states, rather than as overruling the states.

again, i’m not a lawyer.

my point is that on an international level, and on a national level, the legal reforms of cannabis do appear to be well underway and nearly in full swing.

and regardless, as i noted elsewhere, according to Congress, themselves:

“Both Congress and the Administration have the ability to alter marijuana’s status as a Schedule I substance.” https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN11204

and if UNODC is progressing as they are, it may only be a short matter of time before the weight shifts in favor of moving cannabis from Schedule I

the US was at that point about a decade ago, but look now
In the event of a blinded vision system, such as sun glare, the vision system should be able to recognize its reduced capacity. That involves warning the driver and relying more heavily on radar/sensor fusion.
> People who need to force iOS 13 support are not representative of the development environment. iOS 14+ (from 2 years) represents 99% of the market. You couldn't target that percentage of Android devices even if you targeted Marshmallow, a 7 year old release!

It is important to look at AppStore Connect and actually check the breakdown of your users. When your app has millions of downloads and even 5% are still on 13 it hurts to drop support for them.

> Mail.app is comparable to AOSP Email.

It really isn't. Nobody gets an Android phone to use AOSP email, and it doesn't come on most phones by default.

> It's not rude, it's being real.

That's not the way I see it. Like I said, there are pros and cons with both approaches. Your comments are too black and white and ignore the reality that there are a lot of advantages to Google's approach, and iOS would be improved by adopting similar tactics.

FWIW, I think it would be nice if Google strong-armed folks into longer update cycles (or better yet, manufacturers just did it!). I think if Google brings the hammer down as you suggest the anti-trust situation they find themselves in will be debilitating.
Bull.

At best, you'll reduce the time spent writing code at the cost of greatly increasing the time spent writing tests to give you sufficient confidence that your autogenerated code actually does what it is supposed to.

And if it doesn't, good luck fixing it.

Well, we absolutely have models in our heads. That's how we can understand what programs do.

It's possible our minds are also huge and complicated neutral networks, though I suspect that description is incomplete at best.

But the point is that current tools are trained on text generation. Something that would change programming would have to train on the meaning of programs. It's a rather different task, as it's no longer statistical. Doing it properly requires metacognition as well, to avoid falling into the trivial inconsistencies in most programming languages. And connecting that with real-world tasks that it hasn't seen before would require an understanding of the real world.

I'd call something with all of those capabilities AGI. I honestly don't think any system short of that will ever be more than an autocomplete, because it can only ever fit things together based on some statistics.

Typically if you’re creative and smart enough to attempt certain horrific things, that seems to be self limiting. Those who can’t, don’t want to, for various reasons, and those who want to and would, can’t. It’s fascinating.

Where that gets dangerous is when the horror under discussion becomes democratised. TATP is simple to synthesise (though incredibly dangerous when done clandestinely), and so we saw a rise of bombings and attempted bombings using it as that knowledge spread, for example.
So you're saying crypto will eventually race pass fiat and discover new regulations we don't have yet but will eventually need?

Ask HN: Software answering “How long will this project take with N people?”
I am looking for a project planning tool like Smartsheet or Monday, where I can enter a list of tasks and see a Gantt view that helps estimate time to completion...which Smartsheet and Monday (AFAIK) support, except:

* I want it to know that someone can only do one task at a time (I don't see how to do this with Smartsheet, at least).
* I want it to know that unassigned tasks are blocked on people finishing other tasks and becoming available.
* I want to be able to see how long things will take if I add or remove N people from the project. (For example, if only one person is on the project, the total project time should be the sum of the time of all the tasks; if enough people are on the project, the time to completion should be the length of the longest sequence of dependent tasks.)

I am surprised this doesn't exist, or at least that I can't find it (it's a feature and not a product, but feel free to take the idea and run with it if you want). AFAICT, the major project management tools in this space don't do this. But I hope to find out I'm wrong. :)

I think you are missing the context here.

We are talking about the kind of bioinformatics tools that establish new popular file formats. They are typically developed by researchers rather than software engineers. These tools are intended for end users to install and run on a wide variety of systems. And they are often released before the first high-profile papers on the topic are published. At that point, it's rare to find a software engineer who is familiar enough with the topic to be able to contribute.

Waiting a few hours for the results is not a big deal with these tools, because you are probably going to submit a large number of jobs anyway. Getting the full results will likely take days, regardless of whether you are using naive or modern methods. Because you are probably not allowed to use unlimited compute, your primary constraint is throughput rather than latency. Naive file formats survive, because tools that solve independent problems locally provide similar throughput to state-of-the-art distributed systems.

Bioinformatics, and particularly the subfield that focuses on genomics, is noteworthy because it relies more on freely available open source software than most other academic fields. That may be because the state of the art is changing so rapidly.

Companies sometimes take over old well-established problems. By providing services instead of tools, they can use whatever technology they prefer internally. But you rarely see these companies attacking state-of-the-art problems.

My point is that we don't define what police do based on what soldiers do, so it's a red herring in terms of politics and legalities. We define whatever the limits on policing are separately, and tear gas is specially carved out for use by the police.

It's disingenuous to pretend that the chemical weapons of the WW's and the massive cold war stockpiles of VX or sarin are in the same class as deliberately nonlethal lachrymator agents used in riot control. The fact that chemical weapons treaties technically ban pepper spray in the same manner as nerve gas doesn't mean it's a massive evil of police overreach -- there's plenty of low-hanging fruit on that topic without needing to make ridiculous arguments.
> he's had an abusively and militantly anti-drug pol his entire career

Ok sure, not only that, but he is the president who has the least number of spare brain cells to devote to an issue that he opposes on principle.

And yet of all the presidents we've had in the past 4 decades, it wasn't the B-movie star, nor the frat boy, not the draft dodger(s), nor the iconoclast reality TV star, nor even our first and only Black president -- but Biden the Old Catholic who actually got this seemingly simple reform with simple possession of pot.

As you said, he's the guy with the least reason and capacity to get it done, and yet here we are. How are you managing to complain that what he did was so simple and miniscule, and yet no one else came close to doing it?

> The best case scenario is that some people in his administration think that drug law reform is important, either morally or politically. There is no scenario in which the actual Biden is sympathetic towards drug users, or regretful of the lives that he personally contributed to ruining over drugs.

I wouldn't be too sure that Biden had staff more devoted toward drug reform than Obama [0]. But I guess you're stuck with that position since you can't fathom that Biden personally pushed for reform. So how did Biden end up with this successful drug reform team, just random chance? If Biden is so stridently anti-drug, so absolutely useless toward pushing reform as you think he must be, then how did that not trickle down to his senior staff and who they hired and what the prioritized?

> The answer is do politics. If he doesn't know how to do politics, it would be better if someone else were doing the job.

Politics is all about building consensus through compromise and collaboration. Biden may hate marijuana reform, but he prioritized and executed in a way that past presidents didn't, ostensibly because he knew it was something that lots of people love. How is that not great politics?
