That's a lot of toy packaging! Japanese toy companies used to be known for their more flexible price points and gorgeous box art; this was even the case when I was collecting Transformers. Sadly, this just isn't the case anymore; when Takara became Takaratomy, the MBA disease turned their local market releases mostly into Hasbro-releases as-is.

Lots of disaster imagery; the highway-as-a-boat is new to me. The "Ark of Space" with people being held back at gunpoint was particularly entertaining.
Not sure if you've ever worn a racing/motorcycle helmet but the visibilty/mobility is not the same. People would shoulder check even less than they do now.

The speed you travel on your bike directly contributes to the speed your head potentially hits something. Also the slower you travel the more time you have to react to or avoid or mitigate a crash.

We could require everyone to wear helmets all the time (for their own safety since someone could just fall over or trip at any time), but that's clearly not going to happen.

I think the more general point to consider here is that helmet laws are a distraction from larger issues surrounding traffic deaths and the way we design our cities and transportation systems.
Only boring humans are just the product of the content they consume; interesting people have concerns about relationships with other humans, organisations, resources, threats and opportunities that come from being an entity living in a world full of things they don't control and things they'd quite like to control. It's also fairly easy to identify artists who have done nothing but look at other art.

Hayao Miyazaki once said "Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It's produced by humans who can't stand looking at other humans. And that's why the industry is full of otaku!" While I'm not actually a huge fan of his work, it's easy to see where he's coming from when you see the likes of "In Another World with My Smartphone" or the hundreds of other trash light novel adaptations. They're clearly fiction being produced by people whose lives are nothing but consuming other fiction, and all they can do is reference that. They have nothing to say.

For another example, there's a huge number of 20th century war films. They weren't made because their creators had read a lot of Wikipedia articles about how destructive wars were becoming. The likes of Platoon are a product of mortal fleshbags who actually saw combat and genuinely feared for their lives. Dr. Strangelove was created by people who had a genuine belief that they were at risk of being annihilated in a nuclear fireball.
Agreed. In fact, this is the same line of reasoning my teachers used in elementary school when we asked them "Why do we need to learn how to add/subtract/multiply/divide, when calculators can do it automatically for us?" And the answer is still the same: you need to have done it the "manual" way before you can understand what the machine is doing for you.

I only understand what a compiler is doing after having written one (albeit a tiny one) myself during my studies.
There is a trend of increased incidence of severe injuries when wearing a cycling helmet in countries that introduced mandatory helmets.

Very retro futuristism: https://old.reddit.com/r/retrofuturism
One thing that I've seen work is that if you absolutely require the ability to deploy on-prem then using something like OpenShift/Kubernetes as a primitive can work per the parent.

Even if you rely on streaming like PubSub or Kinesis, one thing teams I've worked on has done is to write interfaces in the application tier that allow for using an on-prem primitive like Kafka and not depending too much on the implementation of that abstraction.

I've been on a platform team that built these primitives into the application layer, e.g. a blob storage interface to access any blob store whether it's on prem NFS, azure, etc. However I'm looking at newer projects like dapr [1] and have taken them for a spin in small projects. Such a project seems like a favorable way to add "platform services" to a non-trivial app while still maintaining a pubsub abstraction that allows for swapping out the physical backend.

So agreeing with you but with the caveat that you can rely on platform service interfaces and then the service behind that interface could be a cloud vendor product or a boring technology provide you don't let that abstraction leak and call a very specific kinesis feature for example.

But, India is so far behind, it may need a little bit of "evil" for a little while to clean up all the layers of intermediary corruption before getting better.

It's already awful to live there for a large part of the population, and they have so little, that the government really has no use tracking them: yes, they re starving, going to work for $5 a month, and sleeping... like, okay they knew that already, maybe having some sort of better grasp on the currency flow could help direct it better.

"Working for less" in India is not the same as in California, just yet.

Federal court requires Amazon to stop firing employees for protected activities
The right you are losing is privacy, and the fact that there's been a trend of decisions towards further loss does not mean future losses are inevitable, or that prior losses must be taken as permanent. The existence of court precedent does not mean that policymaking over a right is settled, or anything close to settled. Roe v. Wade was a recent dramatic example of this.

Even within the framework of "reasonable expectation of privacy," the test outlined in Katz v. US leaves no room for the concept that an expectation will ever truly be "settled." To show a reasonable expectation of privacy, an one must demonstrate an individual, subjective expectation of privacy, and also that this expectation is something society would find reasonable.

So gee, does society find it reasonable to expect that you can walk through an airport without having your photo taken and analyzed by the government, and possibly stored in a database where it can be abused by internal or external actors? Viewed in the context of past behavior, perhaps not. Viewed in the context of a government that is suspicious of big tech surveillance even as it collects ever-more data on its citizens, and jurisdictions like the EU passing ever-tighter regulations like GDPR to safeguard privacy, then maybe society's expectations of privacy have shifted compared to where they were in the 2000s/2010s.
Windows 11 was the last straw that made me switch my day-to-day computer from a Windows laptop to a MacBook. Unfortunately, I still have to use a Windows desktop for some limited purposes (mainly gaming and computationally intense activities that I cannot do on my laptop) but that will be running a heavily locked-down configuration of Windows 10 until I die.

I look forward to Microsoft policy settings that disable all of Windows 11's clunky, privacy-invading features the moment governments have to or decide to upgrade, or when consumers eventually wake up and stop taking their nonsense.
Just to be explicit, I definitely wasn’t trying to criticize Panic. They are sort of a well-known, well-regarded group I think (I was surprised by Prompt 2, but not annoyed by it or anything). I think they make a good example of the fact that a non-exploitive company might want to do this sort of thing.

No, because that wasn't necessary on the Netherlands either, and are streets were never as wide as US streets.

Just make the streets smaller, with fewer, narrower lanes. It slows down the cars and makes bicycles look better in comparison too.
I’ve never been in a car accident that required a seat belt either. We should remove them all by your logic.

Cars have tons of safety regulations built into them and seat belt laws are pervasive. I don’t expect them to relax over time either, cars are much safer than they ever have been and I expect their safety will continue to improve year over year.

Can you say the same thing about the bicycle? What safety features do they have? The helmet is the only one I can think of.
I think I might be quite warm naturally but those thinner caps that fit below the helmet work just fine for me when I bike in cold Sweden in the winter. -10 °C and below.

The helmet itself gives some wind protection which helps as well I think.
Anecdotally, from when I worked there in ~2015, there were a few good reasons:

(a) a lot of Amazon's software was so old that it connected directly to the databases. We had to finish all of the SOA migrations that were long overdo -- all the misc random tools no one had gotten around to migrating -- before we could even contemplate moving off Oracle.

(b) it wasn't done as a simple port; instead, the systems were re-architected in the process to no longer share backing databases as at all, which basically meant it needed a complete rewrite, which took a long time to get funded and then a long time to deliver.

The cool thing is that async-profiler is lightweight enough to run it in production, even against a server that's already under heavy load (in my experience, ymmv). Oh and it's free. We have a cron job running it three times a day (alloc and cpu, both).

Of course the report is rudimentary compared to heavyweight profilers.

The most vexing secondary effect lockup to Azure comes when you need Microsoft licensing that Microsoft discounts on Azure and offers palliative adjustments to smaller resellers of cloudy systems together with Microsoft licence agreements, which I could almost ignore using up my quota of enterprise licensing cynicism, except for the fact that margin extraction from competing cloudy resellers can't be ohbo for a probable effect on the level of hardware instances purchased for Microsoft customers who I believe are getting depressed specs as a consequence of this squeeze. Which inevitably has a compounding effect on platform renewal schedules and planned performance purchase points that can only push the package customers get downwards.

I have been suspicious that whilst I am not convinced that the impact is so directly causal simply because of the relative small scale of independent clouds selling Microsoft contracts, nevertheless it could easily be this preferential self dealing the motor for slower upgrade cycles at lower budget defined configurations leading to increasing compression of the options available for Microsoft capacity and anecdotally I've found it increasingly difficult to find equivalent instances outside of Azure which if it isn't a anti competitive practice is most certainly a very harsh environment for resellers which has real effect on customer independence and I will surmise that Microsoft probably sees its position in ten years as being a much bigger and more attractive single source by default like Oracle. If being much more attractive than Oracle is attractive to you I would like to hear how. At least for Oracle, now that installs are nearly only hard mission critical F500 budget full metal jacket affairs, I can rationalise the Oracle position because Oracle at size is going to run on Oracle hardware. But the thought that Microsoft is lurching down the same tortuous path only redeemed by the fact that it's almost impossible for competition to follow after you, and taking the whole intensity of x86 competition off the table and with that a huge part of the value proposition Redmond ought to be nurturing far better than this in terms of passing on the difference between economy of scale plus advantage of platform innovation competition and that sum less some reasonable vig, simply is abhorrent not least because having a dominant swing volume customer gain insensitivity to innovation benefits is tremendously bad for the industry ecosystem entirely. This won't have to carry on for long before I will conclude that Microsoft is going to be a ARM vertical within the next ten years.

> I'm not convinced that a nuclear war would be so destructive that civilization wouldn't survive.

Civilization would survive, somewhere far from NA, Europe, Asia (ie in South Africa).

There is only two scenarios for a global nuclear war:

a) first, pre-emptive strike - then you need to take out not only nuclear arsenal of the enemy, but it's C2 and weapons production capabilities, including any administrative centers, eg Moscow or Washington

b) retaliatory, responding strike - then you need to make sure nobody from the enemy attacked you could ever wage war against you, so not only you destroy enemy nuclear capabilities (silos? why though? they are already used and empty) but any C2, weapons production capabilities, including any administrative centers, eg Moscow or Washington

In both scenarios there is no way you will see an IRS agent on the porch of your bunker in less than 10 years from the war.
But we have to admit, individuals may find them useful or entertaining. If those individuals can afford them, we will have them.

In this world of relative freedom, we don't have options like stopping things as soon as possible. You can make them relatively expensive with tariffs, or regulate them to make licensing onerous. If the public doesn't agree with that, and the public is made up of many individuals, then even that much opposition will fail.
I haven't checked recently to see if this stat is still true, but at one point the number of people arrested by air marshals was actually lower than the number of air marshals who have been arrested.

A great observation, and I share the feeling.

From some other AI demonstrations, I recall there's usually a bunch of surface-level tags with probabilities associated that are produced alongside the output. Not sure how this looks for GPT-3, but if it could provide - alongside the answer - a list of top N tokens or concepts with associated probabilities, with N set to include both those that drove the final output and those that barely fell below threshold - that would be something you could use to evaluate the result.

In the example from the article, imagine getting that original text, but also tokens-probability pairs, including: "Hobbes : 0.995", "Locke : 0.891" - and realizing that if the two names are both rated so highly and so close to each other, it might be worth it to alter the prompt[0] or do an outside-AI search to verify if the AI isn't mixing things up.

Yes, I'm advocating exposing the raw machinery to the end-users, even though it's "technical" and "complicated". IMHO, the history of all major technologies and appliances show us that people absolutely can handle the internal details, even if through magical thinking, and it's important to let them, as the prototypes of new product categories tend to have issues, bugs, and "low-hanging fruit" improvements, and users will quickly help you find all of those. Only when the problem space is sufficiently well understood it makes sense to hide the internals behind nice looking shells and abstractions.

You seem to be interested in this question: "If I bike without a helmet, how much more likely am I to be injured than if I bike with a helmet?". And of course, the answer is that you are safer with a helmet.

But the article is interested in a different question: "If I bike, how likely am I to be injured?".

This question is very heavily influenced by the ratio of bikes to cars on the road. More bikes leads to lower chance of injury for bicyclists.

Every single building is supposed to be positive with conditioned air at all times. Any building that's negative pulls in unconditioned air through all the cracks. Where I live it's very humid (think Houston TX) and if you pull that air in for a long time you end up with black mold inside the walls.
So you're saying there is a mandatory safety law for bikes on the books already and people haven't all stopped biking?

Wow, what a blast from the past. I was only 9 at the time this was released and every bit enamored with the world of computers. My dad owned a data recovery business that also developed software. I was home-schooled and would visit his office frequently after class as I loved looking at all the hard drives and also loved the "computer room smell". There was also the office tradition of playing a game of Bungie's Marathon (which ran natively on Mac OS 9) before closing up shop. It wasn't too long after I would be saving up for my first tangerine iBook.

Good times.

+1 for Airthings wave.

I learned a lot about the ventilation situation at my place by tracking CO2 buildup. I now know that the time I should leave a window open to get CO2 levels indoors to approximate equalize to outdoor levels is 10x longer than what my intuition suggested.

I also discovered that every time I felt the air was “stuffy” and I needed some fresh air, it actually corresponded to a spike in VOx levels. When mom was visiting over summer, we discovered she is also sensitive to VOx levels.

This is my first winter with airthings wave. I’m curious to see how humidity levels are impacted by trying to keep my house warm.

Using it with Gandi.

I mainly like that it's no-BS, just works, is available on F-Droid, small download, dark theme, import/export for accounts and settings, lots of switches to flip in the settings should I find any of them necessary to use. I expect none of this to change with the Thunderbird rebrand so it's a win for both projects _and_ the users as far as I can see.

It's a great experiment.

One way I think about it, AI can learn when there are many high quality examples. There are tons of blog articles on small topics but none really like "here's 1000 lines of sparsely documented code, good luck". The ability to navigate that is a secondary skill and can't be achieved with even genius parroting.

Until the parrot becomes even more clever, perhaps...
