I think this comes down to a disagreement about the definition of the words "local" and "non-local".

There is a version of "locality" that is based on classical mechanics and classical probability - this version corresponds to hidden variable theories, and is fairly definitively ruled out. Given that this definition has a false model of reality baked into its core, I have a hard time taking it seriously.

However, there is a more flexible, and in my opinion more correct, definition of "locality" that applies to generalized probability theories. This definition basically says that if I am on Earth and you are in Andromeda, then there is nothing I can do to affect the results of your experiments in any way that you can detect before you first meet up with my future light cone. Sure, we can meet up in the far future and compare notes to see that there were some unexpected statistical correlations between our experimental results - but we can only ever notice that after we meet up later.

According to the second definition of locality, quantum mechanics is a local theory, while to the extent that we try to take the pilot wave seriously the Bohmian picture is nonlocal. (And faster than light communication is nonlocal according to either definition.)

Practically, local theories have an important distinction from nonlocal theories - you can simulate what is going to happen in a small region of space a day from now while only knowing what was true today in a larger but finite region today. For instance, Newtonian gravity fails to have this property, which makes it hard to properly simulate an infinite universe following Newtonian gravity without making strong assumptions about how homogeneously matter is distributed throughout the universe at huge scales. On the other hand, the Game of Life is a local theory, which is the basis of the famous Hashlife algorithm.
There are other benefits of fiber, such as transmitting non-Ethernet signals such as USB, DisplayPort, HDMI, etc. You can run these things over Ethernet, but they are really shoddy and unreliable.

It allows you to centralize more things. For example, you could just have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a hub in a room for a computer, where the computer is actually somewhere else (such as a server room).
It's funny you use Radar as an example of 'good sensor' while it is well known that most or maybe almost all?) of the stationary vehicle accidents you're talking about happened because of Radars inability to detect a stationary obstacle.

On the other hand, RGB data does have that information, we use it everyday to avoid obstacles, even under foggy and rainy conditions (I'm no LIDAR expert but I know it sucks in rainy conditions)

I am not saying I support a vision only stack, but all I am saying is it is certainly possible to deploy a vision only stack in the future.

When Twitter is flooded with threats of violence and calls to form mobs will he just do nothing? Is that what you are suggesting? He can take the site dark if he wants and he may have to.
Mandatory minimums do work. They don't work when they're draconian measures passed in law-and-order frenzies by reactionaries, but they work for decreasing sentencing disparities between sympathetic criminals and unsympathetic ones.

The fact that the mandatory minimums for crack were so much higher than for powder cocaine was a good thing. They're an admission that the system is openly racist, and a target to aim at. Without them, we'd just have judges sentencing white snorters to probation and putting black smokers under the jail on their own discretion, and we'd need statistics that we wouldn't be given access to in order to make a case. It's better when racism is out in the open rather than buried in a judge's latitude.

I'll agree with you that there are still techniques to be discovered.

I also agree that most humans manage to drive in challenging conditions, but their margins for error become slimmer and slimmer. I personally want my autonomous robot vehicle to be way more efficient and safer than the best human operator and also able to deal with conditions that any sane human would pull to the side of the road when encountering.
That depends on the food. My parents mostly grew fruit, and berries especially are very expensive at the supermarket.

The other things they grew were also equal or better to the most expensive produce at the most luxury supermarket, like tomatoes that tasted of tomato rather than the watery, red golf balls they sell in Asda.

You know, I think Reddit is actually the best positioned Twitter alternative. You can use your real name, or anonymous account. You go there to follow particular subreddits, but there no reason why I shouldn't also be able to follow people and see their non-topic (ie, not part of any subreddit) microblogs interweaved with posts from subreddits. They deal with spam and trolls reasonably well.

They have all the pieces, they just have to put them together tastefully.
Pulling a bit of twine through from my pool over to where I had installed my equipment pad went much the same way, and I was too dumb to think about using a plastic bag ;). Just stuffed a bit of twine in one and and left it loose, walked over to the other and and put a shop vac on it, and -whoosh- here came the string. Felt like cheating. It was only a small conduit, though, 3/4 inch, so it had pretty good airflow.
New build flats have some air ducting. At least, mine did in two rooms (it wasn't for AC). But maybe you meant new build houses.

This is an area I'm pretty passionate about.

So first of all, it's pretty clear that you _do_ have some interests. You mention Feynman and Kazantzakis. That sounds like you're interested in the history of science and literature. That sounds pretty cool.

Many people will recommend going to a professional which I won't try to dissuade you from but that's not mutually exclusive with examining your lifestyle.

I'm obsessed with this podcast by Andrew Huberman (Stanford Neuroscientist) because he's talking about a scientific basis for stuff that has "felt" true to me for a while. Your food diet affects how you feel but your information diet does massively as well. There is a neurochemical basis for this with your baseline dopamine levels, that sets your motivation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmOF0crdyRU&t=779s

I also recommend reading the book Dopamine Nation.

Too much social media will fry your brain. If you're checking Hacker News more than a handful times of day, work on doing less of that. If you're addicted to Reddit, Twitter, or pornography, work on doing less of that. Exercise. Spend time in the outdoors. Focus hard on sleep hygiene. Eat less sugar and processed foods.

You can not change all this stuff overnight but if you can take baby steps it will help massively. You will not feel better tomorrow or next week but if you take tiny steps you will feel a tiny bit better in a few months.

I would also highly recommend learning about mindfulness, meditation, and yoga. A lot of dissatisfaction is aversion to a feeling of emptiness that we have to learn to accept.

Again, I'm not trying to dissuade you from getting any sort of help, especially if you're socially isolated (though you mention having friends). I just don't want you to underestimate how much you can help yourself.

Lastly but not least, if you're eating great, exercising, getting natural sunlight, spending meaningful time with good social relationships, sleeping consistently, and moderating your internet usage, and you still feel no energy or interest in anything, you can just calmly accept it. Life "passes" us all by whether we're joyful or interested or not. Sometimes people with passionate interests actually get more problems from those interests than someone who can just calmly accept the moment for what it is. Ask yourself if the interests would make you happier, or if the actual problem is that you are making an imaginary problem out of not being interested in things. Just food for thought!
To your same point about empathy for prisoners- I have a similar point about how I think everyone should be arrested and booked overnight at least once in their life. People speak far too harshly and absolutely about “criminals” and how they behave in situations they have zero understanding of and support laws that uphold those institutions. Getting arrested changed me and my opinions on criminal Justice at a fundamental level. Having no control over your future in that environment, being stripped and searched, it makes you feel vulnerable in a way that nothing else does and I think the average person would come out of it with a drastically different base opinion of crime and punishment.

Note: I’m not advocating for violence or violent crime; I was arrested for an overdue traffic ticket and just that experience alone was absolute shit.
Someone should build an app like this that is integrated with all the social networks. Give it a sexy UI, and a catchy feature or two to keep people checking in. Eventually, it could serve as a federated contacts hub that links people between networks. A vital piece of infrastructure to support mandated interoperability.
It was an ominous answer.

We really should be focusing on what is the best solution and trying to solve price issues through existing techniques e.g. economies of scale, competition, miniaturisation. Instead they are trying to build whatever solution they can that fits in a pre-defined cost window.

Except this isn't a new phone or sneakers we are trying to take to market it's something that will directly impact people's lives.
I've been doing this, except I have a bath. It finally dawned on me that heating water and leaving it to cool was exactly the way the house is normally heated, so it was costing me nothing to bath as long as I liked. I live there now.

> To really match the experience of being there, you need an ultrawide lens to capture the full human field of view. The 40 degree field of view of a nifty fifty is like looking through a narrow doggy cone of shame.

This entirely depends on the size and perspective from which your photos are viewed. If you're taking photos that will be printed in 8 foot posters to be hung on a wall and viewed standing right in front of them - yes, a wide-angle lens with 90-degree or higher FOV will resemble the perspective you see through your eye.

However, most people view photographs at smaller scale - on their computer screen, their phone, (long ago) in index-card-sized prints, or in medium-sized prints they hang on their wall in a frame and view from some distance.

If you're looking at a photo on your phone - that kind of is a narrow doggy cone of shame, and a photo taken with a 50 mm lens and displayed on your phone will still resemble the same perspective you'd see viewing that scene with your eye.
Auto focus on something can be easier, however at this point you may not have enough focus points to hit the right thing, or the best shot can be a compromise focus between several things which is easier to achieve through analog interface.
Only if you ignore the cost and poor end to end efficiency. The reason there is no distribution system is that the vast majority of hydrogen is consumed where it is produced. It's just very hard and expensive to move hydrogen around. Most hydrogen is used to produce ammonia for the purpose of creating fertilizers.

If you consider the whole chain of energy conversions, hydrogen has a very poor efficiency:

- electrolysis to split water; or super heated steam to split methane. 30%-40%: at best.

- compressing it for transport at typically 300bar: not sure; but it isn't free (theromdynamics). And also, some of the hydrogen is likely to slip away. Let's be generous and call it 80%

- transporting it by truck or via pipes takes more energy. Also hydrogen trucks have a pretty pathetic energy density compared to e.g. a truck load of diesel. You need a lot of trucks. Which need fuel (and let's assume that is hydrogen) At about 18:1 ratio. And some more of it slips away. So, let's be generous again and call that 95% efficient.

- fueling the car/truck uses compressors, pumps and cooling (expanding gases produce heat). This too is not free.

- finally you have the choice of using it in a fuel cell at 70-80% efficiency or burning it in a combustion engine; which is more like 40% efficiency.

If you multiply all of that you end up with the reason why using hydrogen for transport is an absolute last resort because of all the energy losses that you still have to pay for.

25% efficient would be pretty good. It's probably much worse than that. Some of it might be fixable but the laws of thermodynamics just aren't very flexible. There is no magical solution to many of these inefficiencies.

So 4x the fuel cost, or drive an electrical truck. Easy choice for a lot of companies. Especially if they can generate their own cheap power.
I'm 100% for keeping people safe, including physically separating dangerous people from the rest of the population, but

1) Way too often, we don't catch the killer or put people away on flimsy evidence.

2) We have murderers in prison way beyond the circumstances that led to them to commit murder. In other words, ones that likely pose no particular elevated risk.

3) The inhumane conditions of the prison system do nothing to enhance public safety. In fact, they make it worse by doing immense trauma to incarcerated people, leading to high recidivism and high violence and poor health within the prisons.

People have done that (some recent post on HN was about using a RaspberryPi to do just that, including a "get hot enough to remove legionaries' disease").

It won't stop everyone, but if you license it under AGPL they'd be required to share any modifications they make under the same, open, license.
A heated mattress cover has been a game changer for me. You can use your existing comfy blankets and it only takes a very small amount of heat to really make a difference. It definitely pays for itself in being able to reduce temperature set point at night.

I think management as we know it is dying.

In the fifties management studies (Drucker etc) was focused on the manager as a systems creator - who would bestride the business world fixing, innovating creating smooth clockwork systems.

Today Google's eight rules for managers is basically a cross between HR and a life coach.

Systems are now run by software - and the inevitable conclusion is that coders are the new managers.

As more and more software eats more and more of the world, there is less and less need for anyone who is not coding or talking about the code.

We may see the end of rigid hierarchies at the same time (a similar but related issue), which kind of points to two things

- code is the thing. And discussions around the code matter. And the prime examples of doing this are in FOSS - so expect more open public disagreements leading to better quality code

- Public (internal) discussion of issues means a lot of self-governance and a lot of "politics". This goes on anyway but if it is kept public it is kept honest

- management has always been about resource allocation and it is best to view senior management as financiers not executives - this might be the best split internally - senor management buying from internal self organised resources.

- Incodentslly I think a lot of the problems facing most companies today are that they cannot work out how to measure quality work during rmeote work and cannot get people to communicate if they are not all in the office. Having a big email discussion list is unwieldy - but if that is your organisation then conways law will explain how your software works. if you don't like it, it is waaay easier to adjust your email lists than move offices.

Edit: imagine Bezos' two pizza teams - each can be viewed as a independent contract supplying a business-micro-service - at a doctrinal level style guides and devleads / linting rule, and at an operational level it's which micro-services, how to combine their output, etc etc

(i need to expand this but Amazon might not be a great company to work for but the organisational design seems to point i the right direction )
I try to apply a similar mental model to new purchases. It can be tempting to weigh all the pros and cons of different products and find out a detailed list of all the possible alternatives.

But often you just have to try a product to find out if it works for you. In that case it can help to think about what risk there is in just buying something that seems ok.

If you can return it easily, or if it doesn't lose much value in using and you can sell it used for 90% of the new price then there's no real downside to just making a quick decision.

Detailed analysis is only really worth it for more 'irreversible' purchases where it's either a big hassle to undo the purchase (buying a house) or there's a large cost (cars lose value quickly).
A significant downside to the <picture> element, and alternative image formats in general, is that when most users wanna download the image they expect an image format they already know how to work with. To most users an .avif or .webp are an annoyance because they reasonable expect most of their tools to be unable to open these

Certainly not the case with WebP, which was announced by Google 12 years ago. On a recent version of macOS, Preview, the Mac’s default image and pdf viewer can open WebP and AVIF files, making it easy for Mac users to convert to another format if they wish. Also 3rd party graphics apps have supported WebP for years now.

AVIF support isn’t as widespread yet but that will quickly change now.

BTW, the iOS defaults to saving photographs in HEIC, which the average consumer has never heard of.
wow, this is amazing for people like me who just can't seem to internally grok certain things that others find too easy and lose patience explaining to me...

I don't think I'm tone deaf, for example, it's more that that the sounds are so different to me that I don't 'feel' the specialness in the difference between two different notes (like A and C) Versus two sounds of "the same note" at separate intervals (A1 versus A2 or whatever)

They are just four different noises as far as i'm concerned lol

calling them the 'same note' by letter always felt like someone was gaslighting me lmao, because of "symmetry" but it's still totally separate sound value and therefore different 'number (hz)' which innately feels 'real' to me.

I once found an online guitar tuner that stopped emphasizing the note name ( like 99% of online tuners) and instead was just the exact Hz reading in a great big font (also with nice line to help visualize it) of any sound you made into the microphone, so I could experiment moving my voice into higher and lower sounds and see the big number go up or down (rather than merely spastically change in a made-up label like F# ????? meaningless to beginners)

While I would make the hz number change via woooooo sounds it would show you if you were kinda getting near an official note, and then I could feel why some hz sounds 'felt' nice and were physically easier on vocal chords to keep there a few seconds, etc

It was like a biofeedback machine helping me calibrate feeling of 'right' versus 'slightly off'

They took it offline and I never found its like again....

Yes I understand the math/theory behind intervals/octave and symmetry there, but I don't 'feel' it in the way others can somehow, shrug.

your site will help me wade into this frustration again with hopes it will somehow click, thank you!
> And do we make this decision without reference to the statistics, e.g. how many people were released from prison for assaulting a woman failed to go on to murder that same woman? I suspect the proportion would be very high.

No need to suspect, or try to apply universal statistical arguments that _might_ be the case. This has been well studied, and recidivism rates for violent criminals are _extremely_ high, and incarceration is an effective strategy for preventing crime.

There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of the penal system, but your speculation about its total inefficacy is incorrect. If you are interested in learning more, I found the book "Criminal Injustice" enlightening:

Surely I must be misunderstanding everything you just said.

> The fact that the mandatory minimums for crack were so much higher than for powder cocaine was a good thing. They're an admission that the system is openly racist, and a target to aim at.

So you're saying the system is racist and we're seeing it in the value of mandatory minimums, therefore we should aim for more mandatory minimums to even out the racism? Do you believe the same thing when it comes to police shooting black men, i.e. that more white men should also get shot in order to live in a world that's more fair? Therefore making it a "good thing" that people get shot at all?
