It's an awesome installer, I used it in the past. If a person knows any scripting language at all, I think they will create an installer with NSIS in less than a day of work.

Still, for commercial-quality software I prefer my installers to be declarative, not scriptable. With a scriptable one, it's easy to leave installed files after uninstalling, break things when an installer fails near the end, or even introduce security bugs with wrong permissions on executable files.

That's why when people pay me to develop software for them, I use WIX to make MSI packages: https://wixtoolset.org/ Despite the learning curve is rather steep for that one.
> When are Mastodon stans going to figure out that the reason people like Twitter is that it's (nominally) flat and you can interact with anyone unless they've blocked you for some reason

this is largely the same for the public instances. Mastodon/Pleroma/etc servers default to open/automatic federation when you install them. unless you're joining a community with a very specific theme -- say freespeechextremist -- you're likely to be able to @ >95% of other users who signed up to a public server. if you joined a public server that's been blacklisted by a significant portion of the network, you'll find out about that soon enough that ditching that instance and registering at a more "neutral" site isn't any cost. Poast is maybe the most edge-case to this, where a new user might be attracted to the internal meme-driven aspects, and not notice until a couple days of use the relatively smaller patterns of harassment which would lead other (large) instances to de-federate with them.
It can’t be solved without a few 10s of billion in infrastructure investment.
Sorry; I still can't see it that way. I'm seeing the Federation adhering to their principles and being unwilling to compromise with a pirate queen because there's no lasting peace to be built on that foundation. Osyraa can believe there is enough to pass the magic-lie-bot test and still just be wrong because she doesn't understand that peace through dictatorial strength will not hold.

It's not about her submission; it's about justice. If she's not accountable, then why would her lieutenants be? Or their lieutenants? Or anyone, for the openly-practiced slavery and exploitation in the Chain? There's no peace without justice to be had, not really.

Vance was being asked to declare "In the interest of peace, all this slavery was nobody's fault," and that's a non-starter.

> It's possible to be passionate about technology while being young, female and prosocial.

Absolutely it is. However there's no evidence that she is at all.

> Hell, she's expressing herself using the technology platform most popular with her generation.

That's an interesting take. Most people would say the _social media_ platform most popular. I know a lot of people who use social media extensively, and it doesn't appear to correlate with a passion for tech. Does your experience differ?

Whilst I don't disagree that sometimes this view is a jealous misogynistic one, I disagree with "almost always". I suspect you've seen the behaviour enough though that you're expecting it and looking for it.

This women having no identifiable technical skillset is a fair reason to question her. It would also be in a man. If you can indicate otherwise (rather than just hand wavey "this is misogyny"), I an very open to being proven wrong.
To control people through selective access to alternatives they've set up.
The problem comes later where a friend-coworker is found to perform poorly/behaves inappropriately/slacks off etc. and has been given multiple warnings. You are now in a difficult position of having to prioritize either your professionalism or your personal relationship with them.

Given that friendships tend to last much longer than jobs I'd hazard a guess and say that most people would let the issue slide.

There's also the risk of cliques, concerns over unfairness in internal promotions and pay rises, and groupthink from being surrounded by like minded people to be worried about.
Tesla's cameras often get blocked by rain or blinded by the sun or not see that well in the dark. It's really hard to imagine those cameras replacing the ultrasonic sensors which do a pretty good job at telling you where you are when you're parking etc. I can't see how the camera is going to detect an object at pitch dark and estimate the distance to it better than an ultrasonic sensor. But hey, if people ding their cars it's more revenue.

The bottom line seems to be that the part shortages would have slowed production and cost cutting. The rest of the story seems like a fable to me. It was pretty clear Tesla removed the radar because it couldn't get enough radars.

The interview didn't really impress me. I'm sure Andrej is bound by NDA and not wanting to sour his relationship with Tesla/Elon but a lot of the answers were weak. (On Tesla and some of the other topics, like AGI).
Should be noted that it's also behind a feature flag in Firefox (only in nightly!) and while basic support is there(no color profile support), further development doesn't appear to be happening and it's low priority: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1539075

Nah, just like port 25 outbound being blocked is shitty. How can we have a decentralized net when consumer ISPs make people call in or beg to have full network access?

Yes, do some flood detection, but the problem is that the SIP provider should be, as another commenter put, block international calls or otherwise detect/reject calls to toll systems. Who the heck uses toll numbers anymore anyway?
Musk wants to fire Twitter employees who do not support him as leader
Two thoughts:

1) He's not touching on the software cost of integrating different sensor data into the same trained machine learning model; it is likely far simpler to just stick to stereoscopic vision data (the same thing the human genome decided!)

2) That said, it seems at least theoretically advantageous to have a sensory system that exceeds that which humans are limited to; things like LIDAR can work in complete darkness and potentially spot, for example, pedestrians crossing a dark road without any reflective clothing on, where a vision-based system would fail (perhaps add infrared sensation?)

Anyway, doesn't AEB (automatic emergency braking) have to be installed in every car, by law, in the US, around now? And wouldn't that be less reliable if done via vision?

The restatement of PD is wrong. Try "PDs show that there are some circumstances in which rational self-interest results in worse outcomes for ALL players (than other, say sentimental or irrational strategies.)" So morally-driven or religious people can get better results, even measured selfishly, than fully rational actors.

Repeated PDs aren't just mentioned in the literature, they're a staple, there are competitions between strategies/algorithms to determine the repeat PD champ. Tit for tat was an early champ in those competitions, dunno 'bout now.

I like the restatement of PD that reverses the result, but it doesn't really contradict the PD conclusion as properly stated above. Just tells us humans have a hard time acting in their own rational self-interest even when they're trying, 'cause irrational 'cause human.
Stop calling them accidents.

Perfect practice makes perfect.

Programming is a wide skill. APIs are perhaps more important than language. In most cases, projects evolve and we find out APIs changing underneath us. It's hard to be an expert on any version given how quickly things move today.

But we can have good experience in a wide number of APIs and codebases. If we come across something similar, the experience helps.

If your choice is to free the slaves, or punish the slaver, which do you pick? If you choose to punish the slaver over freeing the slaves, are you putting your own ego above the suffering of people who you clearly don't particularly value?

edit: did anyone at the Federation know any slaves? Did they ask them if they would rather be free than hold out as slaves for a trial in an indeterminate future? If the Federation managed to capture her and free the slaves, would the trial be nutritious for the slaves? Would it clothe or house them? Would it deter anyone else from becoming a warlord?
What is the temperature outside? Humidity is measured relatively (to how much water air can hold at the current temperature), so even 100% humidity outside at a moderately chilly temperature outside can still translate into uncomfortably dry (e.g., less than 35%) humidity inside.
Making & Minting Digital Art by Amelia Winger-Bearskin

This tutorial uses Algorand, Rand Gallery, MyAlgo, Procreate®, C4D, Squarespace, and Photoshop
There are many ways to mint an NFT on Algorand. NFTs are non-fungible tokens and digital assets that are based on blockchain technology. For this tutorial, we are going to use Algorand; it is inexpensive to mint (I think I spent $.20 on the entire minting/transfer process), Carbon Negative, and a Pure Proof of Stake blockchain infrastructure technology.

The tutorial will go over how to set up a wallet on MyAlgo (buy or send some Algo there), log into Rand Gallery, make a manual NFT using Procreate®, C4D, and Photoshop, and then finally mint it on Algorand, list it on Rand Gallery and share it with your friends with a microsite on SquareSpace.
It is malicious technology just like AI surveillance. And just like AI surveillance Being enforced by regulation doesn't make it moral. It _will_ eventually be hacked and you may even endanger the lives of your customers by leaking financial information paired with physical addresses.

For whatever reason harvesting personal data like big tech does is bad but if you slap a KYC sticker and say its for fighting terrorism it's all good.
The way TAO (and Notion to some degree) deal with this is by tightly coupling the persisted (SQL?) data store to an in-memory cache that make KV style reads like “get foo by foo_id” extremely fast. They also limit the kinds of queries developers can write to the ones more likely to be very fast on the infrastructure.

Pushing graph queues down to a single SQL query so that the SQL DB spends massive CPU time on joins can be an issue. Instead these systems can avoid talking to the SQL DB at all for example if they’re on the happy path just chasing graph edges.
Yeah, pretty sure it required MiNT.

I don't recall, but I'd imagine it'd be identical to the Sun version re: window mgmt.

LiDAR has its own false positives that haven’t been solved, so it’s possible they believe that.

I certainly was skeptical until alphago and alphafold happened.
This and the hard coding address comments are the key - forward looking references were expensive (and early enough, impossible) whereas you already knew where your data points were as they came before.
Lidar is coming down significantly in the next few years and is available from multiple tier 1 automotive suppliers. Technologies like high power vcsel arrays and highly integrated and photosensitive SPAD arrays/detector logic are making this possible. Prior lidar devices used non automotive grade discrete components like edge emitting laser diodes, high speed adcs, and APDs. These were expensive and hard to integrate, and aren't present in mass market inexpensive AM lidar coming to the market.
...and B000 on the MDA (mode 7), which was to allow both an MDA and CGA to coexist in the same system. Eventually the VGA took B800 even for its text modes, and PCs started booting in mode 3 by default. I'm not sure how the UEFI stuff works, but even the latest GPUs still have a VGA-compatible controller in them:

> Having marginal parts which takes money from a finite R&D budget can easily result in a worse product.

"Less sensors can be more safe/effective if that allows us to focus on making effective use of the sensor information we do have, which is the result we're aiming for with this descision." would be a reasonable answer (if true), but that doesn't seem like a fair interpretation of what he actually said.
I think “dry” and “damp” are two extremes. I feel warmer in 45% rH at 67°F in winter than at 30% rH same temperature, but the air doesn’t feel damp (OTOH 60% would start to approach feeling damp).

That being said, I think at normal conditioned air temperature ranges more humidity virtually always feels warmer. I’m not exactly sure where the cutoff is, but I’d guess below 60°F might be a decent guess?
Looks great, but I feel like I should be able to edit while simulating, like circuitjs does.
There's an opportunity cost trying to get to the best solution. What about all of the people that die in the mean time while we delay rolling out something due to it not being perfect? Just doing some googling the Waymo stack is estimated to cost somewhere in the range of $50-100k, not including the car. A better solution that no one can afford is no solution at all.

Ultimately the only requirement is that the system is safer than humans by some margin that people are comfortable with buying such a system. If that amount is even as little as 2x safer than humans, we still have a moral obligation to roll that out even if we could be 5x safer if we had another $50k worth of sensors and processors on the car.
In fairness, it's not like this problem is new. It long predates Musk but he is now being blamed for it as if it's a new thing.
It's not for fighting terrorism it's for mitigating fraud which is rife in finance
I think this is a smart way to scale up an applicant pool with minimal resources. My opinion is based on being in recruiting and doing analytics from startups to big tech.

It might be worse than former TripleByte interviews in figuring out signals, but it is much less people and cost intensive to scale. I think it's a smart trade off for a start up.

Most first interviews cover the same set of questions. For engineers, it's usually can this person actually code / leet code knowledge.

On-site interviews have a lot of variables, ranging from types of questions, interviewers, and hiring committee for an offer to be extended. I can see why being rejected at 2nd/on-site stage doesn't matter much.
> sudo shutdown -h now

That, is funny.

There are a bunch of approaches, one approach uses 'gas' so you have to pay for computation steps. A bunch of SAT solvers use a clock - if you don't finish in 5 minutes, you get the axe.

And yes, for the vast majority - it's fine. shutdown -h works great. Not many bugs are from "the set of all sets that do not contain themselves" paradoxes.

> What's perhaps a more interesting question is whether a process will produce its desired output within a desired time frame.

Everybody sort of learns about thundering herd in their own way. And retry loops. And many more.

We try stuff, learn how it fails and fix it. And, as far as I know, that's the best we can do. Thinking about programs as processes (I think the author means natural process not unix process) is helpful, but it's not a magic wand.
I've had it running in an emulator for a while, but not natively sadly.

It would be fun to have an FPGA implementation of the hardware, and/or a port of the system to modern (or relatively modern) processors that are generally available (perhaps some x86 processors that support segmentation.)
We just moved fast. Was frustrated by progressing to final rounds at Big Tech and getting rejected, felt like hard work was wasted. Was then inspired by PG's take on building, a: "I like to find (a) simple solutions (b) to overlooked problems (c) that actually need to be solved, and (d) deliver them as informally as possible, (e) starting with a very crude version 1, then (f) iterating rapidly"
Yes it can or else there would be no such thing as practicing. Just because it’s somewhat subjective doesn’t make it all entirely subjective. This extends to many other things like food, music, beauty, etc. while people have different tastes, we can easily identify the traits and examples of “better”
Amanda Palmer is easily seen through her own actions as a selfish, out of touch and pretentious to the point of deserving banishment to a deserted island a la Napoleon, but she has Neil Gaiman’s ring and bank account so they both get to live in their own reality / cesspool.
It's also possible their LIDAR implementation was poor. Waymo uses LIDAR and has fewer incidents per mile.

Are you on team "collectively bear the costs" or team "remove accomodations?" Because one of the two parties always looks to cut government spending, and most voters don't care about the disabled. I'd vote for government rebates for accessible construction and services, but if you got rid of the mandate there'd be no accountability left, and the rebate program would get axed the next time Republicans want to pass a tax cut.

There is so much apathy towards the disabled. I had to take a lift to exit a parking garage in my wheelchair, which needed an attendant key. I called the number listed and the lady just told me "oh, it's broken, find another garage." But it wasn't broken. She just didn't want to come over and unlock the elevator for me. Her coworker finally helped me though, after much pleading.

Definitely not one to trivialize things and pretend tech can solve everything, or that programmers are so smart. But I am not one to think everything has to be perfect and by the book. Lots of room for rough pragmatism in the world.
> If your choice is to free the slaves, or punish the slaver, which do you pick?

False dichotomy. As an American, it sometimes rubs the wrong way when that's presented as either-or because the US chose not to punish many of the slavers and we continue to live with the consequences of that decision: they regained power and built the Jim Crow South.

Justice is required for lasting peace. It perhaps need not be fatal, but it must be real.
No spending is not sucked out of the economy. The government doesn't take your taxes and light the money on fire. They pay for public works that you use every day. They hire people to create such works and maintain them. Those people take their wages and spend it in the economy and support private businesses.

"Does this mean you think any criminal (that committed a violent crime) should be locked up for life?"

Lol what? No.
This is either a bad faith argument, or extremely naive.

Setting aside the question of whether social consequences should be held to the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt", lack of visible prosecution does not mean lack of crime.

The legal system can be very slow for complicated crimes with unclear jurisdiction, if it even moves at all. Sometimes, the authorities just don't care, or don't understand the crime.

I assisted with a complicated criminal case, the indictments took two years, and that was considered extremely fast. Prosecutors had to be educated. Subpoenas had to be issued. Evidence had to be seized and analyzed. Etc.
