I'm really curious how it will work out for them. The conventional wisdom in self-driving space seems to be that humans are not reliable controllers of automated systems that need input once every day or so.

I'm quite sure that there will be a lot of people overestimating this system if it tries to kill you only once per 1000 kilometers or once per 2 weeks.

Right now it tries to kill you every other drive, so people really pay attention.
Yes, I've been thinking of that scene as well:

I mean they didn't have much in the way of writing, architecture, science, or organization. They were thousands of years behind the more advanced civilizations. They had a primitive civilization.

There wasn't much left of their civilization 120 years ago (thanks to Europeans) and they didn't leave much behind that endured.

Putting my words to the same bucket with politicians and the establishment, just because they somehow align is enough for me to leave this discussion here.

I'm neither near to them, nor have the same perspective on climate change & the energy crisis, because of my vantage point, most probably.

Obviously it counts as 'screen time', as you're using a screen.

But 'screen time' is not the right statistic for each question.

"Does screen time affect eyesight?" Yes, this counts as screen time.

"Is this generation more/less informed about what's going on in the world?" Screen time is not the right stat, the data should be 'does this generation read news papers' and both you and your father can answer with a yes.

FYI, I read a dead-tree newspaper during my breakfast. Primarily because I don't want to be staring at a screen while having food with my kids, but for some reason I'm okay with staring at a dead-tree during breakfast.
One of the big papers in my country ran a FirstClass BBS, which my family had access to for a few years before it was eaten by the internet. I remember it quite fondly, and indeed it was a great interface.
Ugh. Don't we have enough of those already?

Requirements:

Why so? How does an M1 processor replace CUDA in a way a x86_64 processor can't? Do they use ARM assembly?
I use it on all my personal linux boxes at home: laptop, router, nas, a nuc, a couple of rpis and a bunch of VMs. Main thing I love is that I've never found myself in the position of just giving up and starting again on any of them. I've switched a few of those over to arch when I reached that point with what I was running on them before. Most distros effectively force you to do that eventually.

I upgrade them when I get round to touching them for some reason so sometimes months will go by. I've never encountered a problem after upgrade that I couldn't quickly resolve with a brief bit of tinkering, and I'd take that over starting from scratch or leaving things mouldering away on outdated software any day.
If I have to ban 5% of shitty accounts to reduce as much hate speech as possible and have some infrastructure to keep out trollbots whilst becoming rich I would have no problem with that. Twitter is a platform, not a government. No one has any right to speech on there other than that which the platform chooses to allow. Musk seems to value racist and bigoted speech on his platform. No one is going to pay for that and no one is going to advertise on it.
I have often thought someone could make solid income going around to storage facilities, garages, attics etc and scanning in old photos and memorabilia. My dad has his mothers’, grandparents, and maybe further back in storage. Doesn’t want to send it off but does want it digitized, but doesn’t have time or equipment to do himself (nor do I). Some of it could probably be sold on eBay. So it sits and collects dust and storage fees with an uncertain future.

Seems like the perfect job for a entrepreneurial student or retiree. Would be hard to scale though unless you built up a crew of people doing it.
American police have already used a law enforcement robot to kill a suspect, and way back in 2016. The infamous Micah Johnson situation (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/08/police-bo...).

San Francisco police using a robot to kill or the use of deadly force, would not be any kind of new ground or blazing new trails for American police.
I suppose that makes sense if the wires are plotting to blow up antennas with gunpowder.

Well, I agree but the problem is the nature of money itself. So far no country has adopted a neutral money system.

If you give people a different money system e.g. like the Chiemgauer, they suddenly behave very differently. That kind of questions the whole human nature is the problem thing, if human nature is this fluid or whether there is a government monopoly that forces a specific "human nature" onto people.

It sounds like just how communism dooms a country to self harm, capitalism forces people to do self harm of a different kind.
I used it for normal package builds in Gentoo for a while but the hit ratio was not too great. Even small USE changes modify the command line (or a shared config header) for most compiler invocations in the package. Same for going from release version to release version. I think it makes more sense for development builds where the changes from commit to commit are smaller.

Original post said nothing, not nothing meaningful. I can’t disagree with “nothing meaningful” because it’s subjective. Also, innovation isn’t just about the thing that work:

Destroying something beautiful creates a strong emotional response.

There is a beautiful analogy with what some protestors are doing and what we are doing to the planet we inhabit.

The latter should trigger an equally strong response but somehow we lay dormant.

Irrespective of how useless you feel their protest is, they are indeed making us talk about it. Which I think is a dire need we have at the moment with so many other trivial things stealing the spotlight of media focus.

Not really, that is just a lower bound. Companies are incentivized to pay the least amount possible for labour regardless of productivity, so long as it profitable. If a company pays somebody 100k a year, it means that (1) the value produced by this person is larger than 100k and (2) the company is confident that they can find somebody else to do the job for 100k in case the worker asks for a raise.
I agree with this. In fact - it's reasonable to take the same attitude toward these numbers as "age of the universe, in billions of years" type numbers: the error bars are pretty big! But the OOM is basically correct, and that's Good Enough (tm) for most people's purposes, including academics in far away fields like climatology.
Looks great, however I'll say that working in a startup, I wouldn't check all of the boxes in multiple of the three categories. Feels like you have talked to more enterprisy developers?
Sure, you always have to handle the case that an unexpected error occurs, but every unexpected error that occurs in production has a cost. What that cost is depends on what your software does and how your users are using it, but there's always a cost. You may decide in your particular context that there is no amount or severity of errors that is too costly for your users to encounter, but most successful software endeavours have some limits.
Have you looked at EndeavourOS?
Most of China supports extreme measures to suppress tens of millions if it means preventing Covid for a billion.

The flaw in their reasoning is that Covid can be prevented forever.

The longer China imposed extreme lockdowns, the more that people who support this utilitarian calculus will experience what it’s like to be on the wrong side of the boot.

This probably won’t have political consequences due to the extreme party power in existence, but it will make it harder to reverse their collapsing demographics due to mass demoralization.
You're a right I had to be more precise about my arguments, I found the post describing why they have silenced .social/.online https://www.patreon.com/posts/silencing-social-74474015, .social/.online can federate with mstdn.io, an instance banned on mastodon.art, silencing .social/.online will not change anything in defending their users but only to pressure these instances and quote: "I am, of course, hoping that maybe by us silencing them, we can initiate some kind of change in the moderation there.". You say: "Maybe they just want to run their instance their way -- the ultimate freedom!" but it is clear that they are trying to moderate the instances of others according to their own vision.
Git is a good example because most tools will have a command-palette that prints out the git commands they are running to retrieve data to render.

Otherwise they are using libgit2.

It's interesting to think about the difference between an API as a library vs CLI / REPL. Often when I am building a library, for testing I usually would like almost every function to be runnable as a CLI.

Anytime someone is doing some piping (joining commands) or shell-scripting, it usually could also be its own script with a CLI. Many applications could also just be shell scripts piping stuff together which I think is actually what the unix people envisaged. Starts making you ask: why are some things CLIs and not everything. Lots to think about...

there are genuine software engineers, yes.

I have yet to meet or work with one.

Engineering is expensive, and most software developers rightly default to a pragmatic craftsman's attitude. Build something people can use and iterate on it based on feedback.

When there aren't lives at stake, it's usually the right call.
This is one of those examples that I liken to the dry cleaning business.

In any given city there may be lots of dry cleaners available. Some will be much better than others (service, performance, etc.). Some will be much cheaper than others. Some may be the perfect combination of all these things.

Unfortunately, we often don't know where the best one is. And perhaps because of another person's suggestion "affiliate marketing", it is now virtually impossible to search online to get actual reviews of things (as there are now more SEO-d review sites which are just thinly veiled affiliate marketing sites).

So we use the service we see nearby or stumble upon. It may not be the best, but we don't really know better.

The same applies to so many things in life, business or otherwise (people, friends, relationships). Thus, yet-another-monitoring-service can succeed if it gets enough customers, even if there are much better services out there.
You're assuming her that "permacrisis narrative" was written as a slight targeted specifically at climate change research. It may be more easily read as a reference to the endless cycle of news outlets serving up stories about the next big event we should all be deathly afraid of. Remember the murder hornets?

If you'd like to split hairs here, "established science" is also doing noone any service. Climate change is an established field of study that more generally researches human impact on the planet. There is strong consensus that we have made an impact on climate and that there could be major negative impacts on existing civilizations if we don't act. It's worth remembering, though, that climate research is almost entirely based in modeling data. Models are useful for finding signals, especially in a complex system, but blindly claiming "established science" without any further context makes it sounds as though it is fact.
I assume most big Elixir apps use Redis or something similar anyway for its speed and reliability (it can periodcally persist for instance) instead of saving everything in memory. Redis is widely used with a huge community support and you usually don't want to lose all your background job info (you don't have to use an actual DB, but Redis seems like a good compromise for many companies). If you don't want Redis there are background job gems for Postgres/MySQL etc.
As for monitoring - in our current micro service world adding or removing Redis is peanuts. You have so much stuff to monitor you need strong monitoring, and usually a whole team dedicated to set it up. Doing that for Ruby or Elixir is negligble. I'd even say Ruby is more straightforward to monitor for devops people than Elixir (that's from stories I've read, not an expert on that).

There's plenty of real issues with Ruby (and with Elixir), but what you're arguing here is simply non issues imo.
It's not the real world applicability that I care about, it's about verifying your understanding beyond just passive observation. It's very easy to give the wrong story about something true, but much harder to use wrong story to build something.

I hardly care if nobody will gain anything from what you built - I only care that in building it, you proved your understanding. It doesn't even have to be building something useful. Even mathematical proofs count. It wasn't enough to hold a nice story in your head about the behavior of mathematical objects to get a proof - you had to use that understanding to write the mathematical proof. You did something that would fail if your understanding was incorrect - and everyone can objectively judge your success.

I’m curious about “not satisfactory” standards and how they are evaluated. I’ve met many earnest engineers and architects who were trying to do good and ended up making stuff worse by creating conformant code that still sucked.

I’ve met many more “witch-hunt” reviews that were just a reason to thin the company to please VC or shareholders.

The article/tweet doesn’t mention it, but I assume they have the same severance package of a few months as the rest. If so, it could be a lot worse

Check out endeavouros. It is arch with an opinionated installer and WM/DE setup, but then you get a pretty standard arch setup and it’s great.

IMO it combines the best of both worlds.
It depends, but it's likely a slight bit too small. If you're single, intend to be, and care bear the risk, it's doable.

Otherwise, if you hit by a bus (as the saying goes) you're screwed. Worse, your customers are left for dead. It's the morals / ethics of the latter that make such a size tough.

You want a size that can support two or three total employees. If you're going to serve customers you want some redundancy. Sure, others don't take such precautions, but that doesn't make it right.
Nice passage, relevant excerpts (with my comments :-);

>one man can give birth to the elements of an art, but only another can judge how they can benefit or harm those who will use them. And now, since you are the father of writing, your affection for it has made you describe its effects as the opposite of what they really are.

Definition of "Peer Review".

>introduce forgetfulness into the soul of those who learn it: they will not practice using their memory because they will put their trust in writing, which is external and depends on signs that belong to others, instead of trying to remember from the inside, completely on their own

Writing is an aide to Understanding which you still have to work at and internalize.

>You have not discovered a potion for remembering, but for reminding;

Exactly right.

>you provide your students with the appearance of wisdom, not with its reality. Your invention will enable them to hear many things without being properly taught, and they will imagine that they have come to know much while for the most part they will know nothing.

This is so true in the Modern World where there is lots of information being created and consumed but few people understand what they have Read and/or Written.

>And they will be difficult to get along with, since they will merely appear to be wise instead of really being so.”

Is he describing HN ?

So, I go deeper into this in the actual template, but you're not supposed to check ALL of the boxes in ALL scenarios. This is not meant as a test, but rather a checklist, hence I changed the name from test to checklist after the first draft.

So for some things, your team, your company etc. will differ from me and my questions. Which is absolutely fine! This doesn't want to be a dogma and different things work for different people. I HAVE talked to more enterprisey devs, but have also worked myself in both environments. I hope both kinds of people can benefit from it in the end :)

This YouTube verification thing is definitely new, I don't know the motivation behind it, it couldn't even detect if my YouTube App was activate or not (or maybe it knows I wasn't using YouTube, maybe it is encouraging me to log in YouTube or open YouTube. Either way, I am not impressed.
