> Sounds like you approach this debate as an exercise in argumentation, not as a discussion of Watts' life or his publications.

This thread is about whether we should take advice from an abusive alcoholic or not.

> When I asked OP to name someone, I did mean someone well-known. That makes sense in the context of a discussion of a famous philosopher. Maybe a childhood friend gave you a good advice 40 years ago - we won't be able to discuss the character of that person here.

So, unless you have connections, you're going to preclude people that actually know you?

> What kind of a person one must be for you to value their life advice?

It's a good question. I guess someone worthy of being emulated, and relatively consistent in their actions. Not abusive, at the very least. (I'm not claiming he was abusive.)

I think the best advice I have ever got was when I was talking to a shrink. He just asked me questions and let me talk, and then it was obvious what I should do because he had helped me make it clear to myself what it was that I wanted. So maybe I'd add that if someone is patient enough to listen, it would probably do you good to listen to them.

Cool with that too.

Let’s start with the politicians who use the excuse “we’re just following the science” to seize power and hold it as long as possible.
He's a producer on the thing and has given input on the direction of the story. Patrick Stewart famously insisted on having Picard drive a dune buggy in Nemesis. He's never been in tune with what Star Trek ought to be.
The fact that the result was so close is chilling. How bad do populists have to be to not be re-elected?
I think they've actually said both at different times.
> What percentage of them would you say have the opinion that the Lava-Jato operation was a farce?

That depends on what details you ask for. If you ask if them if Moro was biased and corrupt, they can simply point to the court ruling that he was.

If you ask them if the politicians who went to jail were all innocent, you'll get far far fewer people supporting that idea.

The details are important.

Please share your source for this information.

> The people you're referring to is not 'the left'.

They are. When my friends tell me they are politically left, it's not up to you to decide they aren't the "real" left, whatever that might be.
Can you give me some suggestions?
> it should be really easy to tell if any given process halts. But, it's not.

In theory, some processes could run forever. In practice, they do not. For example,

sudo shutdown -h now

usually works for me. If it doesn't then a hard powerdown usually does the trick.

What's perhaps a more interesting question is whether a process will produce its desired output within a desired time frame or number of cycles. For practical time frames an empirical approach seems easy (just wait and check it), but I have no reason to believe that an analytic approach or proof would be "really easy" even if it was just N steps of symbolic execution.
If there is one thing the US election of 2020 showed us is that there is zero relationship between crowd/rally attendance and voter turnout for the candidate.

One explanation is that voters may be enthusiastically voting "against" a particular candidate, in which case they would likely not be attending any rally or showing support in any meaningful way.
A lot of people have no interest in having their politicians work them into an outraged frenzy.They just want their officials to do a good job and don't care about speeches and such.

A politician who attracts a more visceral audience is going to superficially look more popular than they actually are.

So going by crowd size can be deceptive.
Absolutely, Trumps super fans would travel hundreds of miles, or even just follow him from town to town like groupies. Lots of them were retired and had the time and means to do so.

Can you provide more details about how DS9 or Star Fleet is dystopian. Or links to those articles?

I didn't get the dystopian vibe at all when watching TNG, DS9, Voyager or Enterprise.
I also know a man who was raped by a woman, but I have three questions:

- why does a fear need a rational basis for it to be relevant?

- why does a fear need to be based on something "statistically typical"?

- why does a fear need to be at the same level of someone else's fear to be justified?

As to your last question, shouldn't it be “Have you ever sat in a group of men fearing that you would be raped?” because:

a) the rape committed by the woman produced no fear in that man

b) men are the "statistically typical" rapists, and violent at that
Yes, but then what you pay yourself out of the organization is taxable income.
"For a little time everything is good..."

I hear what you're saying. There used to be a time and place where perhaps you could join some niche, a "non-political" one if you will.

That barely holds up these days. People do not separate their politics from the niche topic, it's all intersectional and performative. Absurd examples are the "knitting wars" and "noodle lady".

Besides constant outrage, many topics are engagement-farmed.

I've said it before: Twitter rewards exactly the wrong thing. Reasonable and good faith people keep losing. And yet when I come back to my original point, in case they do make things fair and more calm, a major appeal is lost.
Why is looking at income disparity okay, but not other disparities?

I understand a less stratified and segregated society provides a better life for everyone, and do think that education is the tool to counteract bias.

There’s typically 5 types of stratification, economic, social, gender, race, and ethnicity. To just choose economic as the only focus really does not make sense to me.
If the safety delta was low after removing them, as 'tis with Lidar, absolutely.
Who made this claim? You keep making these grand statements but without linking to people or providing any proof.

Like there are going to be some environments where Tesla's vision is going to struggle, that's just a fact because you're relying on a more linear set of data. That's why you incorporate as many data points as possible for reasons other commentators have brought up. And I'm confused by how you qualify it as 'working', given we've seen multiple issues which are directly related to their vision approach.
Well, that dashboard would be a different piece of software.

It's a poorly written license, it leaves you with no clear answers in this situation.
They're significantly cheaper if you live in an area with a non-KPN fiber network. In KPN network areas they're paying more than consumer pricing to KPN for network access, unfortunately.
Tesla has not solved self driving, and by all accounts never will with their existing compute and sensor stack.
I would not use HTTP2 Server Push for anything, see: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/removing-push/
Agreed, and I want to see more than one change and some experimentation, too.

Andrej's argument about more sensors adding entropy strikes me as disingenuous considering that in the next question he then says that Tesla's biggest advantage over everyone else is "the fleet", which clearly introduces orders of magnitude more entropy into the system than anything else. Can you imagine the infrastructure required to gather video from "the fleet" anytime a car sees something unexpected? How about diagnosing what went wrong in that specific instance? How many thousands of these cases do they see everyday?

Given the progress of the FSD "beta" to date, and the fact that Andrej _left_ Tesla, I'd wager that he knows that this approach is a dead end, but he won't say that because he'd get himself in hot water with Elon.
But of course, that is confusing. This is the 'Social networking technology created by Bluesky'.
> So could the Federation

That would be counter to the Federation's principles. And that's the point. The ways-of-life on the table in the negotiation are "You do what you have to do" vs. "You do what you should."

Taking a step back from the immediate conversation: We've gone several posts deep in point-counterpoint on the decision made in this episode, and I think you are making excellent points. I'm pleased this decision can be looked at from multiple valid points-of-view supported with conviction. That's what the best Star Trek writing is made of.
Good for you, but you appear to have missed the point entirely. The GP isn't arguing people should go back, just picking from the air an example (likely amongst many) why the person is a poor people manager.
Based on my interpretation of the post I think the FAA will probably select aspects from the various submissions they receive and try to incorporate them into their proposal requirements. So I do not think the students will exactly have a direct hand in the creation of FMDS, that will most likely be up to whatever company wins the contract (https://sam.gov/opp/a3e83f9e32d443b6bdd143ded9612916/view).
> + There is almost little to no one on Mastodon to talk to.

I have found that this is an accurate description of the first impression one gets; this is not true, but we're all so used to recommendation algorithms easing discovery that the impression is equivalent.
It is extremely rare for an election to be undecided at 60 days (Bush v. Gore was decided after 35 days, for example). If you're talking about the 2020 Presidential election, the reported counts were sufficient to determine (not "predict") the winner within about 18 hours of the last poll closures or thereabouts. It was politically convenient to spin the remaining counting, certification process, inevitable legal challenges, as "uncertainty" when there really was none.
Specifically a lot more poor white people than spots available in these schools. Asians are a “problem” taking up too many spots and are doing this from a position of only being 6% of the United States. Whites make up 57% of the United States.

This means you can easily fill these schools 100% with white students if you use only income as the proxy.

I personally believe the only fair course of action is admission by merit and then attack anyone racial disparities seem in each years admission at a different place in the pipeline.
Saved by the writers in that they kill her, rather than her leaving and killing billions more that would have lived if the Federation had been concerned with human life over vengeance.
I will point out, for the record, that over the past two years, the overwhelming majority of emergency orders surrounding COVID have all expired or been rescinded, or have been watered down into nothingburgers (If they weren't to begin with). Yet, we still have, had, and will continue to have half of congress full of, say, climate change deniers. Do you have a planned plan and timeline for when, and how they can be defunded and fired?

Since we've largely solved the problem you've brought up, it's fair to ask when we are going to get to the other half of the equation. These guys have been running the show for decades, by now, with no signs of change. You do want us to get to the other half of the equation, right?

If not, you could have just said up front that you want your political enemies destroyed, and we could have cut the conversation off five posts ago.

It's more productive to direct criticism at the legal systems that necessitate KYC rather than the technology that allows compliance. Being that hacker news is a technology-oriented forum, readers must be forgiven for interpreting your comment as criticism of the referenced project, rather than the policy that gives rise to its necessity.

With that said, KYC is a prerequisite to doing business in a number of fields, and I applaud any efforts toward an open source and auditable implementation.
Well, the car may have had radar hardware but there are questions as to whether the software was using it:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/05/business/tesla-autopilot-...

Excerpt:

Mr. Rajkumar of Carnegie Mellon, who reviewed the video and data at the request of The Times, said Autopilot might have failed to brake for the Explorer because the Tesla’s cameras were facing the sun or were confused by the truck ahead of the Explorer. The Tesla was also equipped with a radar sensor, but it appears not to have helped.

“A radar would have detected the pickup truck, and it would have prevented the collision,” Mr. Rajkumar said in an email. “So the radar outputs were likely not being used.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/technology/tesla-autopilo...

Excerpt:

Tesla later said that during the crash, Autopilot’s camera could not distinguish between the white truck and the bright sky. Tesla has never publicly explained why the radar did not prevent the accident.
> It's a classic, super cheap

Tell that to Fujifilm's X-Mount 33mm (APS-C so 50mm equiv.) haha -- but man its fantastic glass even if it is $1400 AUD

Though they have their 35mm WR lens thats a third the price, which is super cheap for the glass quality in my opinion. And you can always slap some older 35mm glass on it with adapters, if you don't mind giving up autofocus.
I might be misreading here, but are you suggesting that the DB behind the scenes is not modeling things in the traditional sense but rather as a graph. Thinking of postgres, this could be by dumping a big json object in a generic "graph" table. Is that the case?

That would be acceptable from my point of view. The problem is using SQL as a graph produces very inefficient queries once hitting a certain scale, but if the DB is already a graph, the problem should be limited.
The Leap of Faith (2018)
The "standards" are my favorites. There were a few outliers that I didn't expect.

I'm predisposed to like anything "time travel": "Martian Time Slip" and it's analysis of autism (sci-fi autism) was a subtle body horror; so Dr. Futurity (reminds me of interactive fiction time-travel puzzles), The World Jones Made (more precog trying to change the future and having "prescience" aka Dune), Time Out of Joint (kinda like The Truman Show or "Time Enough for Love" by Albert Finney), and Counter Clock World about time moving backwards and the religious cults it spawns (just plain nutty, not perfect, but a fun concept to toy with).

He has a recurring theme in some books where the idea of the first Martian settlers from Earth being abandoned-working class drug-addicts is pops up several times, and I think that is one hell of a way to look at it compared to all the other stories about Mars. The idea that they are all failed farmers and sit around taking government-issued mind-altering drugs and playing board games where they become the characters to deal with suburban boredom is just bonkers (Three Stigmata of Palmer E., Martian Time Slip [poverty on mars] and a few others).

"Ubik" is really top-tier though. There's a reason that the standards are called "standards". :)

I have recently learned to use it to create an AutoHotkey for Linux implementation (https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11), and it's been a delightful experience. If you like programming in Go and Ruby syntax, this will be your go to language. Other than that, it bears but few surprises, which I would consider a good thing. Its major downside is its compilation time and poor IDE support. Also, you should not be afraid to search through Crystal's GitHub issues or dig into the well designed stdlib's source for more exotic use cases. However, the latter is as easily accessible as is your own code, and the community around Crystal seems quite friendly and welcoming. Contrary to sibling comments, I find it well suited for programs outside of web development as well.

And most of all, it's fast.
Thanks for the feedback - that explains the first part, although I'm not sure why asking questions every few days on a topic is promotion or spamming (other accounts post several links per hours).

However, just as I mentioned in a deleted thread started by Tomte, that "somebody else got lucky" would be a very very big coincidence - the project is roughly 3 months old and wasn't mentioned recently. That someone decides - exactly at the same time - to share the link is very strange.
You meant GANGSTALKER
Everything you've said is spot on (and I prefer 40mm equiv. as my run-around lens), but 35mm gives you a 52.5mm equivalent. The Fuji X-Mount 33mm is exactly 50mm and subjectively feels very similar to my film 50mm glass of various mounts in terms of field of view.

But it's also incredibly expensive. Fantastic glass though, I've rented it a couple times for some shoots
Note: login needed to save progress, sorry!
Why is that? I’ve done a few toy attempts to build out ORM-like model classes in Typescript that wrap an input schema type using typelevel features, and my profiles of the Typescript compiler show a lot of slowdowns coming from combinatoric explosions in the typechecker. In this language specifically, the type system has quite advanced expressiveness but using those features in practice runs into limitations of the checker’s implementation frequently, and more so once you have many input types. We have ~80 table types and often a single table type is a union of variants - our biggest, the type for a Notion block is a union with 64 variants. I wrote a type that takes such row type as input, and outputs an OO-style Model interface for it with accessor methods, relational shortcuts, etc, and a matching Proxy that does the same at runtime. It works, and for smaller types seems like a fine solution. But in practice all the magic gums up Typescript’s inference and makes the language service crash into memory limits. Or the compiler just gives up and says “this union type is too complex to represent”.

If I move the same type magic into codegen, the compiler is much happier; plus stack traces lead directly to a simple method implementation instead of jumping into difficult-to-follow proxy machinery. The downside is that the codegen logic that consumes the Typescript compiler API to understand the schema types is more complex than the mapped types before, but it does make it feasible to have my cake (derive an ORM/model API from a schema) and eat it too (not make the compiler so unstable and touchy).
If the point is that the Federation gradually degenerated into a militaristic death cult. They neither did what they had to do, or what they should have done. They chose the pleasure of her submission to their authority over an honest peace.

edit: this sort of thinking really gets on my nerves because it happens in the real world. Any number of innocent corpses are justified if some particular enemy individual can be punished. It really makes it clear that for some people life is a game between elites to dominate each other, and most people aren't players, they're the board.
Um, no. The discussion here is about Tesla engineers at Twitter. Your commitment to your misreading of the situation, despite numerous indicators that you're mistaken, is perplexing. Good luck.
The reality is that most companies that need the help or cultural change won’t have need to even use the term so it’s a catch 22.
what does "minority" mean then if not that and why are you saying that?
But it doesn't appear to be helping. Here's an example accident where depth data from Lidar would have helped:

Probably a benefit but also imagine the difference in software. You Boolean logic like radar says we are gonna hit , vision sensor says we have nothing there, sonar indicator says nothing there… so the idea of having just a really good single source of truth probably makes a lot of code a lot less complex… I have no way of knowing either way but from a less is less that can break point of view this seems kinda good… like many things only time can tell and at least we have different groups of people pushing on different potentially viable paths forward so that we can soon hopefully know if self driving is possible (wide scale) one way or the other
