That's how it used to be. In the past, "autopilot" was used by laymen to describe a vehicle control system that could safely drive itself (in contrast to cruise control, which was more limited). For example, in the punchline to this chain letter from 1993:

> [A man] was driving along in his motor home. He turned on his ‘cruise control’. Apparently misunderstanding the function of ‘cruise control’, he then went into the back of the motor home. The motor home drove off the road and crashed. Apparently he did not realize that ‘cruise control’ is not ‘autopilot.’

This story is apocryphal, but it illustrates that the popular understanding of 'autopilot' for road vehicles was full self-driving.

All of them deal with control except for one (development of withdrawal symptoms). If a user is in control then there is no problem because any resultant problem from use would be moot, as they could simply stop or reduce and it goes away. Hence it is incorrect to say you could be in control and still diagnosed with marijuana dependency. From [1]:

- Taking the substance in larger amounts or for longer than you're meant to

- Wanting to cut down or stop using the substance but not managing to

- Spending a lot of time getting, using, or recovering from use of the substance

- Cravings and urges to use the substance

- Not managing to do what you should at work, home, or school because of substance use

- Continuing to use, even when it causes problems in relationships

- Giving up important social, occupational, or recreational activities because of substance use

- Using substances again and again, even when it puts you in danger

- Continuing to use, even when you know you have a physical or psychological problem that could have been caused or made worse by the substance

- Needing more of the substance to get the effect you want (tolerance)

- Development of withdrawal symptoms, which can be relieved by taking more of the substance

Was you there Charlie? (That's a radio meme from the 1920's.) My father used fountain pens, good ones, but sooner or later there'd always be a mess. Ballpoint pens weren't practical until quite small ball bearings could be made very, very smooth and spherical. That didn't happen until the mid to late 1960s, when my father finally switched. Before then they were outrageously expensive and gave poor results. They really were very different from the ballpoint pens you can buy today, even if the basic principles are very similar. Mechanical pencils got used a lot, say for drafting, back then. Creating a nearly spherical ball bearing on a planet with gravity, electrostatic effects, noise, etc, etc, out of steel, the most elastic substance known, is no small feat.
Yeah, that much of the conscious work is while actually sitting down and playing was kinda implied (some is theory though but mostly while physically practicing).
I love the concept of a librem, TBH everytime I look at buying one I balk at the price compared to a more traditional build. It's like buying a Mac and I can't even justify it by saying it is for iPhone dev. I don't have a market reason for buying one, I wish I did but what I'd use it for? No IME great, now what? If someone flips a switch I guess I have a safe computer, but I still have to interact with the world and that's still unsafe (banking, identity, employment).

I wish it were a bit more raspberry Pi - I'd have an easier time justifying that purchase just if I had integrated GPIO. I have (multiple) rpis but they sit in boxes because they are a combination of unsupported and complex to assemble/use, outside of browsing some very simple websites I find them difficult to use, even for embedded development.
> I have no idea what's going on in the wilds of Wyoming. Wyomingites do. If Californians were represented by population, these lands would be managed by people who do not live there.

Doing that work will also release heat, but yes, you're correct that the heat wouldn't necessarily emanate from the star like any other.

Firstly it would have a very unique emission spectrum in IR. Secondly, the energy could be transported elsewhere first. For instance, focus the star's energy into coherent beams for millions of light sails moving away from it. That would transport the point of partial heat emission out into space where the light sail is.

I had Google One 2TB for quite a while as a backup for my photos (primarily on iCloud) but I moved out[1] because of the weird way Google Photos was storing photos (they seem to be everywhere). Some were on Drive, then some where in Photos or something like that.

My other use case for Photos was to share with my family (a Shared Family Album, if you will). Before Ventura/iOS/iPadOS, we had dropbox "Camera Uploads" and then hazel would import it into our main Photos Library[2]. Now, besides the few hiccups that I'm experiencing, the new Shared Library in the Apple Ecosystem is working for us. Prior, I have done the auto share to a common library juggle with Photosync[3] but it keep dying/crashing.

Finally, during my usual digital chores (calendared as weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly) I include the task of just exporting all photos in the possible highest quality JPEG formats for the archives. One day, I will move slowly to an all open-source tools, methods, and simplified workflow for these contents.

I'm not a professional photographer. I keep photos not for me or just now, but I hope that few generations down the line, they discover funny photos and can be interesting to them. Think 50+ or even 100+ years from now.

The other reason I take care of my photos is that I feel nice when others use it and are happy with it. I have been a Flickr Pro since its very early days and stopped only a few years back. I have also gifted a lot of Flickr Pro to students and budding photographers. I have also been lucky to have "earn" low double digit thousands (USD) from some photographs and have been published in big publications around the world.

The problem isn’t intractable at all. We had self-driving cars by 2015 and especially do today.

But we can’t let self-driving cars injure or kill even 25% as often as human drivers do, so we refuse to use them to their maximum capability.
Another approach with which I've had success is to use something like PCBite's probes [1] to stab the little bits of solder sticking out the sides of the WSON package. PCBite's probes are excellent; they're sharp enough bite into the solder and hold themselves in place. (Those stalks aren't stiff; they support themselves by digging in.) PCBite is an all-around great product and definitely worth the somewhat-steep-for-a-hobbyist price tag, in my opinion.

^ clearly making my point that cultural opinions dictate more than amendments (particularly ones held by SCOTUS).

Just to be clear, you're incorrect. The bill of rights was extremely clear, the intent was that every citizen should be armed. Recall at the time, the states had to call on citizens to defend their towns, states and country regularly. They didn't have money and needed the citizens to have their own weapons. For both personal and collective defense.

> The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed. - Thomas Jefferson

That said, there has always been a push from various political groups (all the way back to John Adams) who pushed to regulate arms in one-way-or-another. The point is, the reading itself is clear. If you read the various diaries, letters, speeches and publications at the time it paints a picture much like today. There are those who want a disarmed population fearing rebellion and those who demand an armed population. The group that won out on the amendment were clear: "There shall be no law regulating arms and you should be proficient in their use"

I would understand that if the method was left out. But in this case, a strings.Compare method is provided but the implementation says not to use it. That's the worst of both worlds. The stdlib still has this extra method and users will feel obligated to use it because it exists but the method is inefficient.
> Now, before you go out and write your next project in Lisp, you should keep something in mind. Lisp is not the fastest or smallest language out there, it was not designed to be so. There are some pretty good implementations of Lisp out in the wild, but don’t expect them to outperform C, Go, Lua, or even Python most of the time.

SBCL, Chez, and other Lisps produce extremely good native code, competitive with C (sometimes even better due to the ease of run-time compilation) when you're aiming for performance, without sacrificing run-time safety in less critical parts of the code.

Binaries are a couple MB compressed.

As a standardized language with a plethora of implementations with different pros and cons, Common Lisp is remarkably portable. Decades-old code still compiles on modern platforms and OS's.
I worked at a small company where Engineering rotated through support. There was some value in it, but also it sucked doing it and there were other companies out there with interesting work, good pay and _not_ asking you to do support. It was absolutely part of the reason I left.

Admittedly the company was small and you were doing support a lot (up to one week a month depending on team). Something more like one week every six months would have given you the customer visibility benefits without all the engineers absolutely hating it.

The Hispanic population isn’t clearly “increasingly red”. [1] It is also growing slower (between the 2010 and 2020 censuses, 23%) than the Asian (35.5%), American Indian (27.1%), and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (27.8%) groups, as well as various multiracial groups. [2]

A few times a day is not moderate. I would wonder if even a few times a week was moderate, but daily, no way. It's like someone smoking a pack of cigarettes a day (which is quite usual but still heavy) to someone who smokes two packs a day. You'd both be heavy users.
Most of those thousands of years of political philosophy was devised by that very aristocracy. Of course they're horrified of "mob rule", if it means that they get stripped of all the wealth that they have so patiently fleeced from their slaves / serfs / workers for generations.

In practice, all the claims that were made about representative democracy being superior to direct on the basis that it's "less erratic" have been proven false by experience - just look at who we keep electing to Congress etc. At best, it gives the whole circus some veneer of respectability - as in, our representatives still make an erratic mess, but they do so with gravitas. But even that doesn't last for long - at some point, if enough voters really feel like it, you get someone like Donald Trump.

The worst thing about representative democracy is the sham scalability. In theory, a parliament can "represent" as many people as you want - there's an upper limit on the number of MPs who can still hold a coherent discussion, but there's no limit on how many people each MP "represents". However, the higher that number is, the more said "representation" is removed from the voters, and the more of a sham it is. With direct democracy, because of how poorly it scales, you have to keep the scope of the government small for it to function at all procedurally, and then come up with some federation arrangements above that - and that's a good thing.
That wasn’t a great one, but there are better ones
Words do have meanings, and "artificial" has a distinct meaning that is not the same meaning as that of "natural." Flavors natural and artificial are distinct from each other. There are natural functions. Pumping and circulating blood is a natural function of the heart. If you don't like "artificial," we can use "synthetic" or substitute "man-made." You have repeated assertions without any supporting argument. "The brain is absolutely a machine," is an assertion, but you have not remotely supported it. Proof by assertion[1] is fallacious argument.

> Both the USSR and China both went through (at different times!) great famines due to their collectivization of agriculture.

didn't the ussr squeeze those farmers so tight to get industral equipment out of the capitalists by trading grain? yes, the capitalists graciously supported the ussr, the cold war was actually a big hug!

because they traded with capitalist nations they couldn't have existed without capitalism. sure, actually that was the theory at the time, that industrialized germany would join them in a mutually beneficial relationship. that didn't happen for some reason.

but what if we flip it? because capitalist nations traded with slave states and feudal nations, they couldn't have existed without slavery and feudalsim. because capitalist nations trade with violently repressive plutocracies, they can't exist without violently repressive plutocracy. seem fair?

how were china and the ussr organized is the actual question.

maybe you assume technological development was caused by capitalism. personally i think that's putting the cart before the horse.
A rabbit jumps toward the sun and briefly gets closer. But no rabbit has or can jump even 0.001% of the way. There are hard limits for the rabbit which the rabbit is not equipped to address.

A human jumps, fails, learns the underlying physics of what’s holding them back, and consequently build rockets to sit in. There are no hard limits yet, as far as we know, and we’re just bags of mostly water.

Whatever the hard limits on AI, they will be so far beyond us that we won’t be able to visualize or guess at them.
Irony/insincerity is a malaise of modern times. Being sincere about something leaves us vulnerable, open to attack. So we hide under successive layers of irony, until we ourselves aren't sure where our true beliefs lie.
Part of the problem in the last half century does appear to be that consensus is itself no longer desirable or possible - the two-party system in the US appears to have an element of adversarial behaviour which is purely for the sake of being against the other guy.

So it's not so much that half the country is dead against particular measures because of their merits or values, but they will be set against change it simply because the other side wants it.
Sure, and 20 years ago nobody thought language would be a solved problem and we now have AIs pumping out coherent essays and academic papers from one sentence prompts. Even 10 years ago nobody thought AI photorealistic art would be possible, but here we are.

People are too quick to forget how many "unassailable" towers have already been toppled. They see how kind of obvious each problem looks in hindsight, "oh it was just this one trick", not realizing the irony that yes, one or two tricks, and we may be only one more trick from being in serious trouble.
I couldn't disagree more with you, and I wonder if you've ever managed a hiring process.

If you put a hard programming question as a requirement just to APPLY for a job, I don't think you would get any good candidates at all. It's just not worth the time. When you're applying for a job you have no idea if the company is going to be interested at all, and that's fine, because there are just so many variables involved.

They could have just found someone and not yet taken the ad down. They could be about to receive an application from someone even better than you. They (or their system) might have some inherent bias against you, maybe even accidentally (degree > bootcamp, US college vs Canadian college, etc.).

When you're applying for a job it's just not feasible to go around doing HARD programming questions every time, because for so many reasons out of your control the company might just ignore you. And that's fine, that's for them to decide. But it means doing what you're saying would be a terrible, terrible idea, and actually most likely get the worst candidates who don't have any other options but can find a solution to your problem online.
