You've conflated (justified? I dont know, havent thought about it enough) concerns
about a specific model / company / tool with a whole area of research, study, and practice. On top of that, you write with an air of someone that isn't interested in a conversation, and just wants to soapboax, so I have nothing constructive left to say to you. If you ever choose to take an inquisitive approach to AI, ML, or whatever you want to call it, you'll be the first to benefit.
I worked at a startup that gave “store credits” away as, try not to laugh, morale boosters so employees could buy company swag.

It was pretty hilarious.
> Getting angry and adversarial

They didn't get angry and adversarial, they just explained and asked for clarification. Of course, kafkaesque bureaucracies don't like that, so making a random trivial change and obsequiously resubmitting is still probably the approach to use if you want to stay in business. Google these days is like something out of Brazil.
So don’t you want a gun to hit the target with no collateral damage? Imagine a different use-case, for example a mass shooter in a crowd. Where an AI controlled gum can take out the shooter and not the victims, the way police occasionally do.
E-Bike and Scooters likely have more high density batteries then anything else other then the car.

The cars have to go threw far, far more testing and the cost of getting it wrong is many, many billions. Most car companies make their own batteries and take it seriously.

These E-Bikes and scooters come from China manufactures where the battery come from like 5 levels deep of suppliers.
Nice! The wasm build is great, thanks for all your work on it

Agree but it’s an insult to people that actually have it when it’s used casually. Like “bipolar” or “schizophrenic” also.
It doesn't matter how 'noble' the research seems, these funds were clearly raised through criminal activity. It really sucks for the researchers, but the people who earned that money have a fundamental right to decide how it is spent.

Stealing your money and pledging it to goals you may not agree with is a right strictly reserved for governments.
Thanks a lot! And credit where credit is due to the original iPod.js that we built off of.

As for the idea, it's sort of the nostalgia trip paired with the idea of browsing modern sites with an outdated device. Similar to people who connect old computers to the internet in unexpected ways.

I love the idea of browsing through instagram photos on a physical iPod, or tweets/HN posts, adding a more limited but tactile feel to social media. And there were some limitations with the APIs we had available, but I think it was still worth it in the end.
In my slightly uneducated opinion, this will only be possible once there’s solid understanding of how the human brain works, which if you think about it (ha!) has much lot more exciting implications apart from mind reading, it could even be a step closer to or the resolution to AGI.

Besides, for a large part of the 8 billions I would suppose Google search history about personal struggles is pretty damn close to mind reading.
Economics effects still apply to spam. Low useful signal still is an economic factor on if it is worth to do follow request spam "at scale" or not.

Also, federation itself may be allowlist-based. Some instances already run that way. Likely many more would if inter-instance spam follow requests rose above a certain threshold.
I bet the way this works is that google has some automated system that just runs the app, detects the user generated content and tries to report it. Then it gets stuck on some button or other because the label doesn't match the heuristic, or perhaps it tried to click it but there was a hickup with their automation and it failed to respond. So you got to resubmit a new version so their test automation runs again. Its like flaky ui tests, that would explain why most of the identical apps went through the review.

Then you have some guy somewhere working in "support" who when answering tickets can only select from a bunch of branching text lego blocks. To prevent them from getting social engineered to do or reveal or kinds of sensitive information.

With Google scale its hard to imagine how you can implement the "elevate to a manager" button at their support centers without just causing spammer/scammer exploiting it in a second.

We let two megacorps run these global infrastructures and think its normal, then complain about it, like as if this all supposed to make sense in the first place.
>Who do I contact if Anthony is not doing his job correctly?

Taking this kind of line is just never going to work. I don't really know how you deal with a situation like this with Google, but starting a personal attack on one of their staff members is definitely not the answer.

Frank Denis also wrote libsodium, so guess it is a pun by him? Don't think there was any lib{chemical element} popularised before that, and there's a few now, but could be wrong.
I called it solar-powered snow removal when the Washington, DC, government practiced it. Now the district has trucks out dumping salt whenever there is the hint of a rumor of possible snow, and will plow once snow falls.
Being twice the efficiency of electrolysis with nuclear is not enough, because the levelized cost of electricity ratio between nuclear and renewables is more than 2 (and even more so the ratio between nuclear and surplus renewable output.)

They're very smartly having this work as a tractor attachment so they're not reinventing the literal wheels. For small farms, a scaled-down version could be pushed along like a wheelbarrow or attached to something like an ATV or ride-on mower.

But at the home garden scale, I'd like to see a dog-sized spider-like robot that would roam the block doing this. It can be very hard to keep soil weed free, and then weed it once it isn't.
> All excellent points, but I think there's something like 2-5x as much tire surface area in contact with the road, and something like a x10 difference in weight, but I'm quite pointedly not googling either of these hand-wavey claims.

When you consider the total weight with the rider, the difference in weight might only be 3x.
> And well the current advancements while they seem nice aren't very useful.

Current advancements already allow tractors to go autonomously go over the bulk of the same large areas of ground that they have for the past decade (already logged and recorded), graceful fallback alerts remote farmer to make a human decision re: tree falls, new rocks, unexpected gear state changes.

These are useful advancements in machine control.

These developments have locally run in parallel with the above linked Rio Tinto work here in W.Australia - it's a pity the largest mining operation on the globe has imagined its work to be productive and useful and allowed its cost analysis to sway its thinking lacking your insight to the contrary.

I saw the guy who founded kinkos speak at Babson business school about 20 years ago. Weirdly, he was there due to some sponsorship related to disabilities because he had ADHD.

He got up and in the first 30 seconds said he thought ADHD had helped him, didn’t think of it as a negative, and just came because he wanted to tell his story. Like so many founders (esp of retail businesses, I find), he was super charismatic and had a very practical, easy to understand model of the business. It was the best talk I saw in my brief time at babson, and I saw a bunch of good talks by founders.

I believe the guy who founded jet blue also has ADHD and feels similarly. Everyone has their own perspective, but if you get a chance to see the Kinkos founder speak, I recommend it (he might be pretty old by now).
There are around 3,000 people on PrintNanny.ai's waitlist blocked from trying the product, due to Raspberry Pi 4 supply issues.

They sell accessories for the onewheel that puts little wheels on the front and the back, they don't really work reportedly. Maybe down to the thing I can't stand about escooters ... the wheel diameter is just too small and too dense/inflexible. If a decent sized chunk of gravel is going to cause your wheel to just stop rolling .. well that's not great.

I am not sure what you are trying to say here. It comes off as you trying to discourage people from entering Embedded Development which is absolutely wrong.

Anybody who is interested in learning/using C/C++ SHOULD absolutely look into Embedded Programming. That is where the "rubber meets the road" and gives you the intellectual satisfaction of learning/understanding "everything" (i.e. HW & SW). Embedded Development encompasses a broad spectrum from Application programming (eg. Apps in a Network WiFi Router), Kernel/Device Driver programming (eg. RTOS/Linux in the same Network WiFi Router) to bare-metal programming (eg. 8-bit etc. MCUs). So one really gets to know how to use C/C++ (the Good, the Bad and the Ugly) as the situation demands to solve a problem. All the standards are merely guides to follow (i.e. not commandments from above) which is only deviated from when needed.

Yeah you can teach the ML algorithm with all the clips of people in the US shooting each other. ML algorithms get better with more data so this will work great.
I've got a dozen or so paperbacks from the 1930s on my shelf that I read from time to time, and hundreds from later decades. Most (> 90%) are only slightly yellowed and stiff. The remaining 10% vary from crispy around the edges to falling apart. Sure, paper eventually degrades, especially cheap non acid free paper, but we know for sure (because they're in libraries and still quite readable) that the content of quality paper books can last for centuries, and probably, with good care, millennia.

Keep in mind that bindings often last a lot less than that: One of the reasons genuinely old leatherbound books have those horizontal ridges on the spines is that they cover the (often also leather) laces used to re-bind the book and hold the pages together. This gave the classic works a certain look that was later replicated by publishers as just decorative ridges on the spine - but the origin of the feature was that those leather ridges were functional (they also acted as wear bumpers, but this was a secondary bonus) and a key part of the rebound book's structure!

I'll add one more big item to the anti-electronic book column: It is simply impossible to build electronics that last for decades with lead-free solder. Leaded PCBs will still eventually have tin whisker problems, but the new "green/RoHS" lead-free PCBs always stop working much sooner than leaded ones. Worse yet, no one cares because obsolescence design cycles are single-digit years now. Prior to lead-free electronic controls, appliances lasted many decades: Almost all of my major appliances are over 30 years old now, and some have never been repaired at all! They're a little less efficient, but much cheaper over the long haul, as I'm not replacing them every few years - that makes them arguably better for the environment, too, as there's no waste filling the dump, either...

Real books last centuries. E-books can't. We're a long way from Andromeda's "flexies"...

It looks like most death rates for transportation products are measured in deaths per 100 million passenger miles. So 8 deaths seems like a reasonable estimate.

By comparison, cars are about 1.5 deaths, and motorcycles are 25-30.

For the car number, I'm willing to bet that OneWheel riders skew younger and male-er than the general driving population. I'd bet the risk difference mostly disappears if you're comparing similar demographics.

For the motorcycle number, keep in mind that you can't legally ride a motorcycle without a license and some training and/or non-trivial testing. And most riders wear much more extensive PPE than the average OneWheel rider. And they're still at something like 300–400% of the risk.

I think it kind of comes down to whether you think of a OneWheel as a toy, a recreational product, or a form of transportation. It's ridiculously unsafe compared with, say, a boardgame, and probably on par with recreational products like skateboards and jet skis, and somewhere in the middle between driving a car and riding a motorcycle for transportation.
None of this is true, why are you making things up? Post proof or stop lying.

It is not so much as which is efficient as which is correct. Implementing many algorithms it is easy to pick the wrong one which is most problematic when it gives answers that are almost right.

Pro tip. Unit tests are super effective for algorithms that are tricky. Write some simple test cases and understand how they work using the debugger.

I want to echo the Reddit comment saying to use a credit union. Wells fargo is such an unpleasant bank and I remember when I first started working how they just eroded my account balance away with fees for low balance, not direct depositing, “overdraft”, etc.

It’s possible that there is something on your chexsystems record that is related to their decision as well. They serve as something similar to a credit reporting agency specifically for banks. Try to get your record from them; they’ll mail it in a letter that will take weeks to arrive but perhaps that helps answer the “why” in your original question.

Edit: chexsystems now allows you to get your report online! You’ll just need your previous addresses from that bank account and drivers license/state ID number. I’d wait a few weeks until Wells Fargo closes account out to try this as the info might be slow to propagate up to the report
Descendants of Latin like French have lost the neuter gender and the relevant inflectional endings. So now nominative and accusative for what we would translate as "it" differ. But it's true that Germanic pronouns still confirm to the system as well (he/him vs. it/it).

(Actually, come to think of it, in German only the masculine differentiates between nominative and accusative.)

Depends on if you mean in real terms, or nominal terms.

In nominal terms, guaranteed it will tank home prices, if given enough time. This is because trade involves two items, and it's entirely possible to make dollars more scarce than houses. I mean for hyperbole, it'd be impossible to sell a house for 300k+ dollars, if there was only 2 dollars in existence in the entirety of the world. Again, that was hyperbole, but the Fed raising interest rates and reducing their balance sheet, literally work to remove money from existence, and works to move us closer to that regard.

But as for real terms, that's another matter...
> But it's a misunderstanding of your problem domain to suppose that a noun's verbs are inherently enumerable.

This presumes to know what my problem domain is, and for many domains I can think of it's simply not accurate.

If my problem domain is traffic signal control, Signal has exactly one verb: transition.

If my problem domain is calendar appointment scheduling, Appointment has easily enumerable verbs: create, reschedule, delete, move. Maybe you could throw a few more in there, but there certainly aren't infinite things you can do with a calendar appointment.

If my problem domain is running a forum, Post has a few easily enumerable verbs: create, delete, edit, reply-to. As with Appointment, you could conceive of more, but quantifiably so.

I'll grant you that if my domain is something abstract like list processing, quantifying the things someone might want to do with a list becomes very difficult. But in the world of business software, it's really not.
I wish ARM hardware was more standard. You can take essentially any x86 machine, install a generic Linux, *BSD, Windows, etc image on it, and expect most hardware to work - sometimes audio is a bit weird in my experience. It feels like we're still far from that with ARM.
imo the scooters while more portable and cheaper.. at least the examples i have access too.. lime/bird etc. have a problem due to hard low diameter wheels. They can get hung up on random gravel or small sidewalk 'cliffs' leading to potential over the handlebars ejection.
