My take is that this is about parallax [1], although I haven't read
the paper and so that's an assumption.

Creatures with forward facing stereoscopic vision (like us) can judge
the speed and distance of an object if we can determine its size and
see something of the background. In the dark, some information is
missing when we rely on attached lights.

Most people know the approximate size of a car, and so with two lights
its easier to guess the distance (and crucially speed as the distance
between the lights seems to change).

I've noticed it's harder to cross a road when bikes are approaching
than cars, because if you're looking along the axis of travel then its
hard to gauge their speed.

Attaching more than one light to a bike allows us to judge the speed
better. It seems that it's irrelevant whether the spacing is
horizontal or vertical for our visual systems to make this judgement.

Chicago also uses cans instead of throwing trash onto the streets. In conjunction with using alleyways I think we have planned structural differences between the two populations. Surely the beginning of an argument for the "cleaner" and "cleaner habits" between the two.
Are any implications drawn from these findings from a dentist perspective?
DevOps is an education and communication position. You won't get the devs to do ops, since they are good at development and don't know much about ops and the same applies to ops in reverse. You need people (ideally, on each product team) who understand enough of both sides to efficiently communicate problems and facilitate solutions. Before you make your devs write provisioning scripts for databases (which they can do, but probably won't get the trade-offs of different parameters), you might want to explain the difference between running database migration scripts on application server startup on a single-instance dev laptop and on a distributed master-master replicated database with multiple application server instances. You increase awareness, you provide platforms, you communicate. That's what DevOps and especially DevOps teams do. They are glue between people of different competence areas. The alternative is Peter's principle applied to both sides.
I think the one-sentence version of this thesis is much more interesting and true than the specific build out:

"AI" will very obviously continue to make inroads into traditional human knowledge-work and adjacent domains, automating roles and (for some metrics) outperforming humans.

The lemmas are playing out in too many domains to track any longer already: there will be blowback largely defined by intentional and unintentional confusion and misplaced identification of root problems; and by chaos where historic structures (legal ethical and otherwise) which were reasonable when the only agents exhibiting agency were human, now have to contend with a spectrum of collaborative entities mixing individuals, communities, and "AI" of all kinds.

"Middle management" is a misnomer, but the premise is reasonable, that which can be quantified will be optimized.

As noted ITT what and how quantification occurs and whether that tracks "reality" (or traditional fictions at least) remains to be seen.

My own take on that is that what we will mostly see is evolutionary pressure weeding out unviable failures, accommodating for a while at least midling failures, and a slow quiet creep towards deeper and more pervasively "correct" solutions,

all trending inexorably towards even less and more existential challenges at both the philosophical and societal level, and the basic one defined by the paperclip peril of the Alignment Problem.

I am unsurprised that certain domains (like effective definition of and execution of a business plan through an organization made of non-fungible humans) will prove exceedingly hard to fully capture.

But I am now regularly surprised by ice-shelf-break level dramatic gains in domains that seemed until recently equally unassailable.

The ingenue in this domain for me is Whisper. It's just... solved that problem for good, it seems.
Does Google ban it's employees from using Apple products? Google is barely a hardware company, it would hardly be surprising if large number of Google employees using Apple laptops/imacs/ipods...and yes iphones.

I had only one episode, it lasted 18 months of complete inability to perform my job (that I was perfectly capable doing before). Full recovery took several years. It was like a firecracker went off in your head and left a buzz that prevents you to stick to your task even for a second - except there's no actual buzzing sound.

The trajectory that took me there was acutely unpleasant but I would not describe any of it as boredom. You ain't getting bored on your death march.

Can't imagine several such experiences, I'd rather change career.
That goes both ways. "Google must not be allowed to have access to the data that our taxes paid for" isn't unnecessarily hostile?

If you want to conduct expensive research projects for the exclusive benefit of your own politically-correct cabal, don't ask me to pay for it.

It wouldn't be such a concerning trend if Apple was simply a really good hardware vendor. Instead, the iPad is a toll-road with a 30% tax that goes straight to Apple. If they gave iOS alternate app stores or even just opened the iPad bootloader (as we know is fully possible on M1), people wouldn't be shifting in their seats as much. Instead, Apple is innovating in one hand and extorting in the other, and then pretending like both can't exist without the other.

There isn't a company in the world that has a larger R&D budget than Apple. If $200 billion dollars in liquid funding can't design a decent, freedom respecting tablet, then Apple hasn't fixed much of anything (in my opinion).
It looks so cool! I'd love to have the transcript send to places other than email. I'm thinking of either a chat app like WhatsApp and Telegram or a productivity app like Notion to keep a more organized journal.
Legislators should be allowed to trade, but should be considered insiders for any companies affected by legislation they vote on (which would effectively be all of them). They could use things like 10b5-1.
The T-Mobile account management website is absolute trash. I was just blowing my stack about this affront to all things decent the other day. Why does showing me my bill and letting me update my account details require so much garbage JavaScript all over the place? I'm not running a command center that needs up-to-the-second "dynamic" billing info, I'm just a simple plebe who wanted to update his billing info. So just render the stupid page server side and let me get to it. But no, instead I have to sit around watching 4 different spinners "load" the "frontend" components of this bloated, over-engineered pile of steaming crap.
At least with something like this, it would be relatively simple for the manufacturers to just enable the functionality based on where the car is sold.

Can't do anything like that with emissions regulations.
I would happily pay $10/mo for 5 months a year for the 4 years I expected to own the car rather than $250-500 to buy heated seats.

I don’t care about someone else’s costs; I care about the value I get and the price I’m asked to pay. If someone else makes a profit because they structure the deal smartly, good for them.
I feel this way about the vaccine. “95% effective at preventing infection” etc etc. I really believed it would stop transmission which we also know now is not true. Should have been more skeptical.

And before you say “that was before variants” remember that wasn’t the messaging. The message was “it’s safe and effective and protects others” and also “employer: based on what the CDC says take the vaccine or lose your job”

A lot of damaged trust in institutions these last few years.

I use it all the time and just don't talk about it, because it's boring and does the job. Why? Because I know how it works, and can make functional things in minutes. It's my go to hammer when I need to build another stupid fucking website with a database. I don't care if it's "slow", I couldn't give less of a shit about the extra 12 cpu cycles every request needs, it is completely irrelevant because I'm not serving traffic to millions of concurrent users.
Yes, left turning cars are my primary fear as a rider. Of course the problem arises during the day too, not just at night.

It'd be nice if the OP's research had compared alternative forms of lighting to 'surprise' the oncoming driver, like flickering lights. This works well to draw attention both day and night (using less flicker). Given the continuing problem of drivers not seeing bikes, it's a shame it hasn't been adopted as the new norm for all bikes (and bicycle lights) -- both front and rear.

It seems to have in earlier stage testing helped reinvigorate salmon populations in earlier testing around Alaska while simultaneously seeming like a cheap way to capture CO2. I wonder if something similar might also help here.
We've had legalized bribery with lobbying for a long time now, so I'd be surprised if this ever gets addressed.
This is pretty interesting, and IMO, really disappointing to see that was the ruling in that case.
GCC turns a fold over a parameter pack into test/sete and turns std::min == 0 into cmp/cmovg: https://godbolt.org/z/TjK7Gz74M
"(or working for the federal government, or any level government for that matter)"

I don't think this is right. My small town government isn't going to make any money on trading. Even if we contracted with a company big enough to be public, the contract would be too small to make any impact. Also, most in the military or civilian contractor positions have no real insight into the market moving deals. Nor do they generally have the capital to really take advantage.

It's the high level officials and bureaucrats that need to be restricted, not the rank and file.
It seems reasonable that if a tool is emitting non-trivial code fragments originating from licensed code that emission should comply with the origin code license. Whether or not there is an 'AI' in between seems irrelevant.
Also a good example of what I understand the OpenBSD development goals to be: developers work on the features and hardware support that interest them. It isn't a popularity contest; targeting the most popular platforms or growing the number of users of OpenBSD is not a project goal.

So as long as there are developers who want to do the work to support the 88k LUNA (whatever it is) then it will happen.

I assume you were meeting with business types - I bet 90+% of SWEs at google have androids. And to be fair, Google ad business basically has nothing to do with android.

Deep into the Android years, Eric Schmidt got a lot of flack for proudly announcing that he loved his blackberry and you could pry his physical keyboard from his cold, dead hands.
Even before the current LinkedIn purge, shouldn't duplicate profile images be a red flag? I got three invites from three different accounts with the same profile photo in the space of a week over the summer.

This is also an ongoing issue for Facebook, except the fake accounts use the same profile photo and name as real people. It's a vector for fraud and causes untold headaches for millions. It's been going on for years.
> When you go to your mechanic for a repair, do you want to know when you may get your car back?

I want! However, for my old 2000 car, repairs exceeded the original estimate 80% of the time, forcing me to change my day-to-day plan. This could be a hint: good/new things breaks less, giving you false confidence when estimating for old/bad stuff.
In the vast majority of cases these days I'd rather have a dumb document database to shove my data into rather than fretting over relationships between tables with a RMDBS where complexity grows at best, quadratically.

I don't use mongodb in particular but I never want to go back to worrying about what a SQL application instance is up to, either.
This isn’t only true for “rich” companies.

Companies (particularly young ones) succeed or fail if they are innovating on their products and delivering value to customers. Reducing cloud spend is not doing that.

It may very well improve the bottom line, but when the company is (correctly) more focused on “how do we increase our customers by X% this year”, pursuing those savings is a distraction.
I just apply to every job I find interesting. Of the 7 job agency locations I've been through, zero have found me any work, they've been nothing but a useless waste of time. I have a 16 page master resume I tailor back down to 2-3 pages for every single company/position I apply for. I have a wide field of experience, so it's handy to be able to match my resume to the exact job.

I write in CV format, not resume, so the first page is just the education, previous jobs, hobbies, and general junk that's of least concern while the second to third pages actually list off my experience, projects, and relevant things.

I have more trouble with getting a job past the interview than actually getting interviews. I get interviewed by probably 60-75% of the jobs I apply for, and then an offer from maybe a tenth of that, but it's been six years since I've last applied.

So typically I am juggling several interviews a week, ideally as many as I can get. If I get lucky and have multiple offers, it lets me decide which job/company seems like the best fit for me.

I am moving on from my current job early next year, so that's exactly what I will be doing. Just browsing every online resource (linked in, indeed, usajobs, etc) as well as looking around at what small/medium sized businesses exist locally to apply to, even if they don't have an opening listed.

Totally! That’s where a 220 plug comes in. But still absolutely no need whatsoever to install a charger. Just plug right in.
Ballistic fingerprinting is almost completely nonsense as used in media. Has some real life use, but limited.

There are multiple types.

1. Capturing a spent casing and comparing to a reference of that firearm. The idea being the primer indentation, and chamber wall tolerances/imperfections should let you match fired case to firearm. This was believed in so much that every firearm sold in the past 20 or so years in NY/MD/?? has required a spent case to be shipped with the gun and a case kept at some crime labs, or the owner is required to provide when registering the gun - the bullshit is that it doesn’t work at all - and not one single solved crime has ever been attributed to this
system. Giant waste of money / feel good legislation. There is some correlation to be made… Factory Glocks have fairly unique square firing pins and it’s easy to say a case was or wasn’t fired from an unmodified Glock. Likewise, MP5 platform guns typically have fluted chambers and one can easily see the case marks on a fired case, but neither of these things will help with storing a sample.

2. Muzzle/barrel printing. While this is a LITTLE more scientific, mostly shit. For the most part, you need a really large flaw in a barrel to leave a matchable print on the barrel. You can look a fired bullet and easily tell the rifling. Polygonal (Glocks again), cut, button, hammer forged… but the whole microscope printing of miniature and unique imperfections is a lot more art than science. Again, easy to prove this bullet didn’t / couldn’t come from this gun - but hard to prove it came from this specific gun.

3. Micro stamping entirely bullshit. This is where a California despite overwhelming evidence it doesn’t work is still trying to get firing pins to leave a unique impression on the primer. The people that push for this stuff have no idea how guns work, never have.
LinkedIn is a cesspool of shit. I spent a bunch of time and removed literally everything from my profile except for my current job, which only has minimal information. That had the effect of actually increasing the number of Amazon headhunters writing me weekly.
>This should be a much bigger issue, IMO. We the People need to make them understand this blatant self dealing will not be tolerated.

Compared to the impact they can have at their job (positive or negative), this just doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Obviously I'd prefer if they didn't do it, but I don't see why it needs to be a bigger issue.

Insider trading causes two problems:

* Undermines faith in, and thus reduces efficacy of, financial markets

* Reduces the overall returns for everyone else a bit

While it becomes a problem when rampant throughout the market, I don't think a few hundred members of congress would collectively have much impact here.

I'm also a little wary of the kind of person who's willing to go into politics and isn't in it for the money. While there are a handful of truly dedicated public servants, most people who aren't in it for the money are either extreme ideologues or power hungry narcissists. I'll take a politician who's mildly financially corrupt over someone who wants to abolish either taxes or private property, and way over one who wants to become a dictator.
Pretty sure Apple execs use their products, a lot.
Employees of one company often use products made by a competitor. So what? Big nothingburger here.
I was at amazon (in the app store) when the fire phone was released, leadership made a big deal of showing of that they were using the fire phone for the first week or so and then got really quiet and where back on their iPhones.
Because the EU knows that you don't need cookies or client cooperation to track people as there is enough information the client sends (and has to send for functional purposes - think IP address, user-agent, browser fingerprint) to reidentify it down the line even without a persistent identifier.

If you think clearing cookies will defuse industrial-scale spyware from the likes of Facebook, Google or the various data brokers:

1) Don't waste your time clearing them; modern browsers already heavily restrict third-party cookie access and clear them on their own

2) I have a bridge to sell you
I can't stand those. Even riding a motorcycle, they're a confusing and hard to make sense of rear light layout. Put a central light on the bike, preferably LED, and ideally that strobes a few times when you hit the brakes. It makes a very real difference in traffic - I did that, at separate times, to some different bikes, and was able to observe the difference. It mostly solved tailgaters. From annoyance or what, I don't care, but a bright, "flashes several times when the brakes are applied" tail light improves much on a motorcycle.

Not the worst thing I've seen, though. I came up behind one motorcycle at night, slammed cruiser style, that only had a dim red row of LEDs on the license plate holder, which was bolted to the rear wheel axle. I was on a motorcycle and couldn't tell what it was in front of me until I was probably 50' behind. Rider and passenger in flat black, of course.

But Harley's been shipping those dumb twin light rear configurations for a decade now. They're not novel, and it's just one more example in "Self driving car AIs don't understand the world and fail in entirely non-human ways."
Yeah, not a lawyer but reading this the damage and the language (things like calling Magnus "King of Chess") seem pretty extreme.
That’s the same problem as any other kind of insider trading.
Valid point there; I was thinking South/Central America.

Fwiw, Kim Kardashian (I know) was fined $1.26 million for pushing crypto, despite only getting paid $250k for the appearance, which is either a lot or a little depending on how you look at it, but fine > payment, so the concept isn't foreign to the SEC.

It was a nascent market, and the first versions of Android and iOS were not significantly better than what was already being offered. Is the suggestion that we wouldn't have put any effort into developing the ecosystem if Google and Apple didn't decide to involve themselves in it?
It's only being made important in order to obfuscate the process.

Imagine I took a hose, and put a sprinkler on one end and left that in my yard; then attached the other end to the spigot of my neighbor's house.

My neighbor comes to me to complain, "You're stealing my water!"

"Oh, but I've tangled the hose so much that even I can't prove where the water is coming from! Furthermore, I've gotten permission from our other neighbor Dave, and you can plainly see that I'm using his water. Maybe some of yours has been mixed in, but the courts have deemed that 'fair use'. After all, I can be responsible for tracking down where every drop of water comes from!"

"You attached the hose right here to my spigot! Water is flowing out of my house into your hose!"

"As I stated before, no one - not even I - can prove whose water is flowing through my hose. You can't compel me to untangle my hoses!"

---

This situation is obvious. I have left my hose tangled in order to dodge responsibility for taking your water. When someone does this with money, it's called "laundering". The only difference here is that it's an asset (copyrighted source code) and not a currency (dollars) being laundered.

It's further complicated by the fact that you can't "take away" source code. But the entire premise of copyright is to pretend that you can: to violate copyright is to use the assets created by someone else, thereby ignoring their arbitrary monopoly.

Fair use allows us to accidentally or incidentally use copyrighted works, but that clearly isn't what Microsoft has done. They are just using all the code they can get their hands on, and laundering it through ML.
