> I'd sum up your points 1,2,3 as "more data". This would be a reason to think they can one day be ahead if they can take advantage of this, but not evidence that they are currently ahead.

I'd sum up those three points as "more data and more real-world, open-ended, large-scale testing by regular people." Big difference.

> Occupancy networks: waymo has published research on this before Tesla announced this at AI day (not clear to me who got there first though https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.03875v1.pdf)

AFAIK, Tesla FSD Beta is the only system that has been using these DNNs for open-ended testing.

> Tesla's Dojo -> Waymo has TPUs to train on

I've trained AI models on TPUs. They're nowhere near close to 36x more efficient than Nvidia GPUs.

> I am pretty biased because as a Tesla owner I am pretty pissed off at this point at how the false positives on the system in detecting close following are stopping my safety score from getting high enough to even be able to access the product I purchased.

Oh, I get your frustration... but I also understand why Tesla is being so strict with safety scores at this point. It wouldn't be fair to blame them for that.
Holy cow, a nice-looking clip based workflow!

I think contact sports in general help people to develop fortitude.

Lacrosse, hockey, football, rugby, etc.

It’s a difference from just developing a skill in terms of mentality.

Within a single sport I’ve always found the offensive line position in football to be unique as well. It’s the only position in sports where your only job is to protect other players.
> compulsory voting

No. If you don't vote and you country gets destroyed by the politicians you don't get to complain - I agree on that part.

However, if you are required to vote, also people will vote which don't inform themselves very well. Populists will take their votes happily, and populists are often not an improvement for the state of a country.

> The FDA is filled with extremely qualified and public-spirited doctors and PhDs...

Those sorts of people have made a lot of enemies over the last 3 years, they in particular should not be put in a position of power over others. Doctors in the CDC have proven to be quite willing to destroy lives and economies without much of a cost-benefit analysis on the way, and it is unclear that the FDA would de drawing from a better pool of people.

It is interesting now, with benefit of hindsight, to look over the COVID stats (I was glancing at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/#graph-... for this comment). It'll be interesting to learn if the measures that were foisted on the States were effective, but they are quite difficult to see in the high-level numbers. And given that 3 million people die each year in the US anyway, there really are questions to be raised about how effective the compulsory aspects of the COVID regulations were.

That is not a counterpoint. If you said your choices did not have any cost or risk compared to the “boring” choice, that would be a counterpoint.
You’re right that the vast majority of our food supply comes from industrial ag. There are also many many people with small family farms, maybe a few chickens, a sheep or goat and vegetable gardens. This is the beneficial environment. Both small scale and large scale exist.
Many of the commenters here seem to think this is about moving away from swap altogether, but according to the article this is switching from a swap partition to a swap file, so still using swap.
Ah Illinois. That's where I live.

Purists who refuse to load websites with JS are such a small percentage of visitors they can be safely ignored. It's an uphill battle that they're losing very fast. I don't think you can use more than 5% of websites without JS in any capacity.

The whole point of websites is lost if they can't track visitors, see what they're paying attention to, and how to manipulate their behavior. Everyone's doing it, and if you don't, you're at a disadvantage. There are very few websites whose purpose is not to influence you to spend money on something. Most of the articles and posts you read are AI generated, or written by "content writers" never intended to be read by actual people, they're there for the google bot to keep some activity going.

Oh god, not another Bloomberg killer / competitor. Yawn.

Look guys, its cool you're building this and all that, but please skip the whole Bloomberg comparison thing because you're only embarrassing yourself.

I've had a fair bit of involvement with Financial IT over the years, and let's just be honest here. Bloomberg has no real competitors. For fixed-income (bonds etc.), Bloomberg is unparalleled. For everything else they have a vast and largely un-paralleled dataset.

The nearest two real competitors to Bloomberg are Refinitiv (a.k.a. Reuters) and FactSet.

Of those two, Refinitiv are the nearest to Bloomberg. But despite having spent many millions of dollars chopping and changing their product, they still don't have feature parity with Bloomberg. Eikon is a great product for sure, and if you're not trading fixed-income products then it will likely serve you well enough.

FactSet lags behind Refinitiv. Its very much an equities focused product. Its not that bad, but still third-place.

And that's it for the top tier. You have a few interesting players in the second tier (e.g. CapitalIQ and Infront). They do the job for people who can't afford top tier but still want quality.

Beyond that, let's be frank, you start wading into the swamp of Bloomberg "killers" who are anything but.

One of the main problems at swamp level is the lack of coverage. Generally you will find US data, maybe some Canadian, but beyond that you can generally forget about data outside North America, and if there is any, it will generally be limited and of low quality.

Good data costs money. There's no escaping that fact. And that's why the top-tier financial vendors charge $$$$.

It has nothing to do with mortality rates generally, and is specifically about polio. Polio generally wasn't killing very young infants, most of them were protected by antibodies from their mothers.

My guess is that sanitary conditions during infancy were still a net positive overall. Just not with respect to polio specifically. To protect children from polio you either need vaccination with dead/weak polio, or exposure to polio as an infant when they had protection from maternal antibodies. Either way teaches the immune system to fight polio, but without either of those the risk of polio rises with age. An adult who catches polio is about 10x more likely to die than a child (not infant) who catches it.
They also grew eye like structures too right.
An additional datapoint I remember reading is that humans for so long has worms and other parasites that dulled the immune system that our immune system is actually hyperactive because we no longer have those parasites to repress it.
"their conversation took place a year and a half ago."

Pay attention to the details. A year and half ago he was not engaged in a conflict with Ukraine. Plenty of people send letters and or talk with heads of state. You think Bill gates hasn't spoken with numerous heads of state? Sure has, otherwise microsoft wouldn't have been in Russia, China, and other nations.

There is no "appreciation for escalation". What there is, is appreciation for the fact that giving in to nuclear blackmail supercharges proliferation and makes nuclear war much more likely, because now every state with expansionist designs realizes "Holy shit, if I have nukes I can take whatever I want as long as I threaten to go nuclear if I don't get it", and rushes to get nuclear weapons as fast as possible. By contrast, sending a hard No to irredentist states which threaten nuclear strikes if anyone opposes their expansion signals that it's not worth the effort to get nukes and that they won't help your expansionism.

I'm aware of two persons being actively cancelled (aka, people group to protest when they come somewhere). Roman Polansky (who still was present to get his Cesar)m and Bertrand Cantat (who still sing at some venues). One is a child rapist, and the second a murderer.

Other people i know who suffer that are politicians, but we weirldy don't call that "cancellation", but "calling out". To me, if you are a public figure, you ought to be called out if you do something a part of the population don't agree with.

Oh, i also know a small restaurant owner "cancelled". The cooking institute tell its female students to avoid apprenticeship there. The last time I spat on him was two month ago (basically the last time i met him). Considering he raped my sister, this isn't much of a punishment.

First of all, humans can see flickering at 30 Hz and even at 60 Hz (there are different zones in retina with different "specs" some see color, some see motion). But even if it was not visible there is still a huge benefit of higher framerates: the latency between input and output. When you press a button the time to update the screen to reflect your press is 1.5x frame time on average at best (wait till the current frame ends, which will be 0.5 time on average and render the next frame with the input). In practice the output is buffered in many places and the latency can be as long as 10 frames. With 60 Hz that will give you ~166ms latency, which anyone can feel.
Playtime doesn't support linux though, does it?
Probably not enough information. For example, exposure to diesel emissions is closely correlated with childhood asthma, and this may or may not be an issue on different farms (tractors not being very clean-running typically). Some farmland is in very dusty regions as well. Hence, growing up on a farm might or might not be as bad as growing up right next to a major freeway or oil refinery:

> "In a study funded in part by EPA, researchers from Johns Hopkins University found that children exposed to outdoor coarse particulate matter (PM10-2.5), were more likely to develop asthma and need emergency room or hospital treatment for it. Coarse PM can come from roadway particles such as brake and tire wear, and mixtures of road dust and metals."

I mean, while this is technically true, it's also a bit silly to think it's untraceable--many people that attempt to do this get in trouble for it[1].

I get it, you watched John Oliver do his little song and dance, but reality is a bit more complicated.

Doesn’t consultancy staff also cover people working for an actual consulting company?

I have worked on long contract - one or two years - for clients in the past helping them structure and put in place large projects and while I was technically there full time it was pretty clear that this was temporary, I was filling a punctual need the business wouldn’t have after and there was a somewhat clear idea of when we would part.

These relations are not necessary a way to pay less or not give benefits. I was actually paid a lot better than if I had been working there.
I've yet to see how Waymo and other self-driving systems perform in open-ended testing, outside tightly restricted, geofenced environments.

Sadly (or not!) this is just as good of an answer as the rest to the hard problem. Dualism, computational theory of mind, etc. People talk about a scandal of string theory, they should talk about the cross-disciplinary search for explaining consciousness from compsci, physics, biology, chemistry, and psychology instead.
I'm sorry, it's sad, but that's just not how it works. Even "a few tens of dollars" is too much for some people, much more than you can imagine. I teach at university and every year I have students who never had a personal computer and are still not able to afford one. And mind that this in France (not your typical third-world country) and that I teach computer science…
Probably the only way to prevent this type of issue in an automated fashion is to change your perspective from proving that a bug exists, to proving that it doesn't exist. That is, you define some properties that your program must satisfy to be considered correct. Then, when you make optimizations such as bulk receiver fast-path, you must prove (to the static analysis tool) that your optimizations to not break any of the required properties. You also need to properly specify the required properties in a way that they are actually useful for what people want the code to do.

All of this is incredibly difficult, and an open area of research. Probably the biggest example of this approach is the Sel4 microkernel. To put the difficulty in perspective, I checkout out some of the sel4 repositories did a quick line count.

The repository for the microkernel itself [0] has 276,541

The testsuite [1] has 26,397

The formal verification repo [2] has 1,583,410, over 5 times as much as the source code.

That is not to say that formal verification takes 5x the work. You also have to write your source-code in such a way that it is ammenable to being formally verified, which makes it more difficult to write, and limits what you can reasonably do.

Having said that, this approach can be done in a less severe way. For instance, type systems are essentially a simple form of formal verification. There are entire classes of bugs that are simply impossible in a properly typed programs; and more advanced type systems can eliminate a larger class of bugs. Although, to get the full benefit, you still need to go out of your way to encode some invariant into the type system. You also find that mainstream languages that try to go in this direction always contain some sort of escape hatch to let the programmer assert a portion of code is correct without needing to convince the verifier.

Yes, the change in context is that you are greatly increasing your chances of getting caught.

If you want to flip things around, there is absolutely nothing that you can do that is wrong if nobody else not party to the act knows about it. Fundamentally, wrongness can only be judged when third parties are aware of an act.

The acts of which we speak are wrong, but you can get away with it so long as you aren't caught.
