Everything a pathology, innit mate? ADHD is only ADHD if it impairs your functioning. If you're interested in a lot and can complete things then it's clearly not a disorder. And the man has written many books so clearly does not have an attention disorder.
Please note that nearly every country in the West is facing similar downward curves. Also countries like Finland, who were at the top for several years.

The US school system may have its separate problems, but the wider issue is not just there.
So you run Comma AI on a RAV4? I assume the Toyota has to have the requisite packages already optioned from the factory so the hardware is there? I'm just curious, because I'm leaning towards picking up a RAV4 Prime for my wife to use as a daily driver. I'm not 100% sure I care too much about the technology as a practical matter (I had a Tesla, I usually just drove it myself; but I like driving). But it might be fun to dork around with and see what they've built.
You're thinking of having 50 attempted hobbies that you pretend you'll get back to one day. (I know; I have ADHD too.)

But McCarthy meant that he had 50+ concurrent consistently-actively-pursued hobbies/passions.

Which is something that's possible... if you have a lot of time on your hands, and you never allow anything into your life that drains you mentally so much that doing it kills your motivation to do anything else for the rest of the day. (Which IMHO is really only an option for people who are either retired, "independently wealthy", or being homeschooled.)

> A conspiracy theory is, by definition, a secret.

conspiracy just means (Latin etymology) breathing together, i.e., being coherent...there's nothing about secret in the general case.
This is a nonsensical idea, at least as stated.

The people who live within 500' of you do not have exclusive control over what happens in that 500' radius circle. Control is ceded to entities like your town, or county, or state, or federal government, in no particular way. The federal government controls, for example, what happens in the air above where you live; your state probably controls the building code for where you live; your town likely controls where you can take a dog for a walk or the intensity of outdoor lighting.

There's no smooth gradient of control dropping off as you get further from where you live. It's messy and it's complicated.

In addition, your stated view of who should have control also acts as a major barrier to people who do not live in a place from ever doing so. I suspect you may have no problem with that, but it's not technically "the American way" (aspirationally, anyway).
I’m slightly confused why right answer isn’t: validate size of input data before you do anything with it.

Pretty annoying that `str(<thing>)` can’t be expected to work universally.
The US is a republic not a democracy. Representation is not proportional.
Hey it's Matt here. So there is some research done by others showing that usage-based model has doubled its adoption in the past four years, and the acceleration has not slowed by even by a bit. Data points to the fact that it will become the mainstream five years down the road. Our personal experience speaks to the same observation. That's why we aim to solve the next gen challenge. :-)

Subscription billing is a solved problem, admittedly. Many existing software is doing a decent job, marginal improvement is needed. However, those old models are very different from usage-based model, because imagine what's the volume of change for a customer's subscription? It's probably at most once a month. But for usage-based model, the volume of events would be at a level of easily 10K per second. These are not the same kind of world. Other challenges include the underlying infra to support usage-based model, flexibility for pricing, integration with usage-based reporting of cloud marketplaces, etc.. all of those things are net new, and necessary for next gen SaaS model.
> That voters are required to (gasp) verify their identification, once every 4 years, if certain conditions aren't met?

Until we give everyone an ID card, yes that is voter suppression because it prevents many citizens from voting.

> That drop boxes for ballots were reduced in number?

Drop boxes and polling locations. It's hard enough that voting day isn't a paid holiday. If it takes hours and hours or goes outside of the range someone can easily travel, that's a big problem.
So, two hundred years of general acceptance (well, aside from that civil war thing where vastly differing fundamental interpretations of how the country can be governed were tested by the tried and true debating tactic of 'how many boys can we send over the trenches') is iron-clad.

But say, 80 years (FDR's expansion of executive power, which reactionaries in the courts are currently dismantling) is not?

Hardly anyone alive remembers it in any other way by this point, and everyone involved in setting that state of affairs has been dead and buried for a generation. And yet...

It's also strange how people seem to be fine to cherrypick a superset of (constitution + a bunch of other two-centuries old political babble), but exclude mountains of conflicting (two centuries-old political babble). It's almost as if the desired outcome is pre-determined, and we're just looking for fig leaves to justify it.

It's crazy fun on the cloud provider side too. Live migrating entire instances between two hypervisors isn't exactly the simplest thing to do.

SR-IOV, which you want for lower latency network connections can't do it cleanly. vDPA will hopefully save us from all that insanity.
I think this model is completely wrong and should be inverted. The main CPU should be on top and run completely transparently. If you want secure coprocessors for DRM and cryptography, they should be subordinate black boxes.
There was also almost no standing army at the time so organized militias made a lot more sense
A bit off-topic, but not too much: an old videogame from the mid 90s called Master of Magic (his author, Andy Barcia, also created Master of Orion, 40+ years old in the thread would probably know at least one of these two masterpieces) at some point got a big quasi-remake based on (allegedly) the availability of the source code, it's called Caster of Magic [0] and it's essentially a huge mod that changes a ton of things in the game, and fixes several bugs.

I was a big MoM fan when I was a kid and I followed this development with a lot of curiosity.

I found it interesting that a game which is now more than 25 years old managed to get a thriving modding community, given that modding games wasn't really a thing long ago.

By the way, there's a proper remake in the works, coming out in a couple of months.

So? Dispute it with the credit card, it's not a huge deal. By comparison Paypal is often linked to a bank account where you'd out the money until investigation completes. Even if you used credit cards exclusively on PayPal, PayPal's terms of service preclude you from using your credit card's chargeback. (I mean you could use it once I guess and then they ban you from using their processor)
Thank you for taking a look. Magic plays in a different market. There are primarily 2 markets for identity - consumer identity and enterprise identity.

Consumer identity - you are developing a scheduling application. You need to log the users in into your platform. You can build the auth layer yourself, or get an SDK from someone like Magic / Stytch / Auth0 to outsource authentication. Magic offers SDKs for logins with magic links and web3 wallets.

Enterprise identity - you run a company of 100 employees. They are remote and need to access a variety of systems, including on-premises apps, servers, etc. This is where we come is helping you centralize, manage, and secure employee access to anything.

In summary - magic helps with authenticating users to your application. We help with authenticating your employees to company resources.
The restrictions are clearly there, you can't miss the eyesore in lobby 7.

But you're right that they're easy enough to get around if you're just looking to access main group buildings. The restrictions are inconsistent across entry points and it's super easy to tailgate students during the day anyway.

Places like Hayden library are currently much harder to get into without a student ID though.
The Congress in fact voted to go to war with Afghanistan, 420-1. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Milit... for details.
Not the OP, but I personally find it a little creepy and more than dystopic.

Also, I can pet my dog and even throw him a ball while writing comments on HN, but the VR thing will totally isolate me from him (and the AR thing won't bring anything new to the table, I already know my dog's name, don't need to see it labeled via AR). And even so, I try to limit the time I spent in front of my computer, glueing even more immersive computers to our faces won't do us any good.
My dream machine is an e-ink tablet that runs both KOReader as well as Zotero. Make that and I’ll buy it in a heartbeat. The perfect combo for a reader/academic.
Apple could better describe the action that will be performed, e.g. "Slide to Suspend".
China:Four Pests campaign, other madness... total deaths over 40 million.

Russia: purges, torture then murder of 'kulaks', Holodomor, Virgin Lands campaign, etc. Total deaths, estimate at least 30 million; Solzhenitsyn said 66 million.

None of those combined 70 million+ made it out of poverty.
They seem to be doing alright, I still like mine…

Are you basing that just off the sentiment of their subreddit or some other data?
It's true that babies don't get stolen here, but laptops and phones left in public certainly do. The resale value is better and the punishment much less severe if you get caught.

(The link in the article you posted mentions 97 cases of abductions; it's important to note that 100% of abduction cases involve the child's family, e.g. in custody battles and similar. A kid getting snatched off the street is a once-in-a-decade thing or rarer, and it's never an infant.)
I don't disable JS but block all 3rd party requests by default. This also blocks all scripts loaded not from current domain.
“Avoid premature optimization” means to do the cleanest/clearest thing now, and only optimize later when you have the full picture. Arguably, that advice doesn’t apply to standard library functions anyway, at least not to the same extent. But if it did: How is adding a new, “bad” implementation any clearer than simply calling the already existing optimized one that the GP linked to?
Revision is very bad. There are changes made to levels that don't make sense and completely break the flow, or worse, the tension of the game. The "enhanced" graphics aren't good enough to tolerate that.
First one is def a tool you don't want to lose, especially if your party loses. Second sounds like both U.S. conservatives and liberals. Third like primitivists, and fourth like any status quo supporting bipartisan neo-con. As is,the probably attempted strawman does not work.
First time I hear about him, and I feel I should read something by him. What's the single best recommendation you can give us?
Huh, weird.

I have a really basic grinder, actually it is more of a thwacker, in the sense that you just plop the beans in there and it'll thwack them to bits (want fine ground for pour over? Hold the button longer. French press? Don't hold it too long). This shouldn't count. You can get really fancy grinders.

And who doesn't have a favorite coffee place?
if it's "long" running, you want the full JIT experience, because you essentially lose the entire "But how does my code actually run" optimisations that the JIT can do, and only have stuff that can be done ahead of time.
I am of the same opinion, I however don't know if this is a fitting label for this product.

If I read this correctly they offer an optional service called "Connect" where notes and sketches are stored in their cloud:

> Here’s what’s included with your reMarkable if you don't have a subscription:
>
> Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive integration
>
> Access the most popular cloud storage services from your digital notebook with Integrations. Browse stored files, copy them to your reMarkable, and upload notes and documents directly to your Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive accounts from your paper tablet.

The even have a guide showing you how to setup these other services.

Sure it is still not optimal, it should be more hackable and people should be able to add their own cloud/syncing solutions if tou ask me, but this is not "subscription based hardware" by my standards.
This is a bad idea unless you are paying really well. I would even consider taking a small pay cut to run from a place that forced me to do that stuff.

Instead of fixing those problems like a donkey, you should fix your database schema and data inconsistencies.

Increase observability and monitoring budgets and whatever tooling is needed, so engineers know what is breaking and where before customers find out.

I want to work at places that are one step ahead of their users, not the other way around.

> It's cute for trivial cases like algebra libraries

I don't understand this wording. Algebra libraries are nontrivial to implement, as the algorithms that operate on such structures can be exceedingly complex, and there are many types of algebra relevant to computer programming. Linear algebra (and its big brother, tensor algebra), boolean algebras, polynomials...

> There is no compelling argument or evidence that machine intelligence is impossible.

This is proof by assertion, but let's define what we're talking about first. I was referring to Strong AI. If you are also referring to Strong AI, then I can prove you wrong with not just one but two examples of compelling arguments against the possibility of Strong AI. Roger Penrose argues computers are unable to have intelligence because they are algorithmically deterministic systems. According to Penrose, rational processes of the mind are not completely algorithmic and therefore can not be duplicated by any sufficiently complex computer. Another compelling argument against the possibility of Strong AI is John Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment, and we know it is compelling for the Herculean amount of effort put into trying to prove it wrong for the last 40 years.

> Physics tells us that machine intelligence is in fact very possible.

This is more proof by assertion. You are asserting and not supporting your assertions in any way.

> All finite volumes contain finite information, per the Bekenstein bound. Therefore a human being can be fully described by finite information. Therefore a human being can be fully simulated by a Turing machine (technically just a finite state automaton).

It does not remotely follow from the Bekenstein bound that it is even humanly possible to perfectly describe a human, even if it sets an upper limit on the amount of information if it were possible, which it isn't, nor that perfectly describing a human will produce consciousness. A description is just that. A description of a book is not the book itself, a description of a human is not a human, and a description of consciousness is not consciousness, nor indeed could a description of consciousness itself be conscious. Further, the Bekenstein bound "implies that non-finite models such as Turing machines are not realizable as finite devices."[1]

> The only way to escape this conclusion...

More proof by assertion. You are asserting and not supporting your assertions, thus your argument is fallacious. Another way to escape your conclusion is to point out that you are misapplying the Bekenstein bound to falsely suggest that the limits it sets are or will ever be realized by humans, which they won't. We simply aren't capable and never will be capable of perfectly describing a human down to the quantum level.

> The current state of the art machine learning systems are still a few orders of magnitude away from the synaptic complexity of a human brains. A lot can happen over a few orders of magnitude, and we're closing that gap fast.

More proof by assertion. Assertions are not proof, nor are they valid argument.

For my Model Y:

The car itself is wonderful. Driving a Tesla is a level beyond anything else I've owned.

Autopilot on freeways works great. I disagree that it's deceptive. The name is confusing to the average person (it sounds like it drives itself without help). But there are constant reminders that you need to pay attention and be ready to take over. Stupid people will be stupid. A name change wouldn't be the worst outcome, but it's a great feature.

Navigate on autopilot is not great. It's kind of useful, but makes dumb lane changes and is too timid in traffic to work. Being able to switch lanes with a turn signal is useful and I use it.

Auto park is garbage and only works on very easy parking spots. Half the time it doesn't even "detect" the spot and won't offer the option. It's also not that good at parking.

Summon (classic) is useful for me. I use it to move my car out of the way to take out the trash. It's cool and not dangerous, though not super useful.

Smart summon is dangerous and not useable. As a previous commenter said, it has serious "nervous raccoon energy" and either gets confused or nearly hits things.

Full self driving is not even close to ready. It's nowhere near what was promised (get in your car and it drives you from A to B). It's unclear to me that this is even possible with the vision hardware in the car. I like playing with it, but I've never had a successful drive without having to take over. This was massively overhyped, perpetually pushed out, and honestly I agree with the fraud case here.

I'm mostly annoyed that all the broken features have sat stagnant while the company works on FSD releases that incrementally improve something that's fundamentally not even close to working right.
Too much tutorial, I noped almost instantly
California could not win any popular vote about any matter whatsoever on its own.

The only thing that wins popular votes is ... having a majority of voters voting for it. Doesn't sound so bad does it? At least until you start to introduce the petty tribalism of "I don't want those folks who ain't from round here telling us what we can and can't do".

The real question is: there are obviously different "ideal sized bodies" for a popular vote controlled democracy, depending on the issue at hand. It probably is right that "folks from round here" get to decide a bunch of issues, without having to convince the whole country. And there are issues where you really should only be able to move forward with a popular vote across the whole country. So the question is: what's the right scale/scope of the voting entities for different kinds of issues?

I don't know the right answer, but I'm fairly sure that the states we have right now are not the correct choice for a lot of issues.
None of those (except Costa Rica) are in the list of Presidential systems without a Prime Minister. France is in the list of "semi-presidential" systems. Look at the first list, the one the USA is in.

I also don't consider Costa Rica to be a "prosperous" nation. It's probably the only one in that whole list I'd consider living in besides the US though, because at least it isn't a war-torn or authoritarian hellhole, but it's not exactly an economic power either.
Having a huge government schlong up the backend shouldn't be a concern to us/eu citizens. It's only the slack left from the multitude of schlongs that foreigners could use that should be of concern
That's an oversimplification of Google's business model vs something like Facebook. Facebook is selling pure eyeballs because their ads are intrusive and unsolicited, with the somewhat flawed assumption that just because someone talked about something, they are keen to buy it. Google is selling purchase intent. When someone specifically asks Google where to find something, they have far higher purchase intent than if they simply talked about it on their page.
Remarkable needs a backlight, otherwise there is no reason to upgrade past R1.
The middle ground that I use, as an engineer, is to review customer communication on support tickets that get escalated to my team.

Not every day or every issue, or any other regimented basis. But I do try to stay close to raw customer feedback. It can be useful to see what details gets lost between the customer and layers of support before it gets to an engineer.
I'm not so sure. Here's Steve Jobs' 10 minute keynote address when introducing iAd, so we know exactly what he said about why advertising should be directly built-in to iOS:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7WVt63S49s

"We have 185,000 apps on the App Store, created by tremendous developers. A lot of those apps are free, and a lo... the rest of them are really reasonably priced. We've got apps for free, for 99c, for $1.99, and we like that! Users like that! But these developers have to find a way to make some money. And we'd like to help them. Now, what some of the developers are starting to do is to put advertising into their apps. And, for lack of a more elegant way to say it, we think most of this mobile advertising really sucks. We thought we might be able to make some contributions. So that's what this is all about, it's all about helping our developers make some money through advertising so they can keep their free apps free."

... "The average iPhone user spends a little over 30 minutes every day using apps. Over 30 minutes every day, using apps on their phone. Now, if we said we want to put an ad up every 3 minutes, that would be 10 ads per device per day. 10 ads within 30 minutes, it's about the same as a television show. We're going to soon have 100,000,000 devices. That's 1 Billion ad opportunities per day in the iPhone community!"
The BoR has been under continuous and relentless assault for well over two centuries. It is battered and bloodied, but has held up surprisingly well.
You're talking about creating new user namespaces inside a container, not running a container in a user namespace. Running a container in a user namespace is strictly a security improvement over running it in the host user namespace.

Also, all container runtimes automatically block unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) with seccomp already (unless they've disabled seccomp, which I'm not sure if Kubernetes still does).
I have to toss this classic video on the issues with timezones and programming. The sheer amount of growing exasperation as the video goes is hilarious.

abcde is pretty nice, but will choke on hybrid data+audio CDs. I think you have to enter a comma-separated list of track numbers (excluding the data track) when this happens.
I think it has changed a bit, but at the same time there's no way it's "surpassed Harvard" in elitism. I recently spent time on both campuses and Harvard is still more restrictive than MIT is, and the vibe is clearly more stuffy. The socioeconomic admit stats don't lie that Harvard is way more elitist (not to say that MIT isn't at all).
They cant outlaw guns (lets not pretend) because humans have the inalienable right to -defend- themselves. And that includes against a tyrannical government. The United States would not exist otherwise[1].
