It's so odd to read about QM by people who don't go into a lab and do QM experiments. Like, this whole article is about the math currently used to make predictions using QM. Not what actually goes on when you prepare entangled particles, not what happens (physically), etc. The "interpretation" of QM (IE, how do we square our mental intuition about how physical matter and energy behave) isn't super interesting, as long as you can retrain your intuition to help make predictions about interesting experiments. Unlearn you must.

Waymo has an operational SDC taxi service in Phoenix with no safety drivers. Obviously that's a fairly easy metro as far as driving goes, but it's enough progress to be long term optimistic imo, especially considering they're doing a closed beta in SF currently.

Your linked paper is about correlating year of birth to a social security number, which I would reckon is much easier than correlating to zip code, given that social security numbers both predate zip codes and were geographically assigned based on the US State in which the applicant lived when the number was requested. My own SSN was assigned to me at age ten when I lived fifteen hundred miles from the place of my birth, and I have moved a further thousand miles from there in the meantime; there's basically no way to predict my ZIP code from it.

Anyway, according to that lookup table, I was born in 1927, a conclusion with which I strenuously disagree. Those methods may have been statistically useful in the year of publication but so many things have changed, and so many more people move between states than before the 80s, that I doubt its validity now. As a reference, the pandemic drastically slowed down American interstate household moves, but even so, 8% of the population moved states in 2020 -- including 18% of people between 20 and 29. (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/12/american-relocation-h...)

In short, I think it may have been more feasible in the past to draw these correlations, and now it's less feasible. On the other hand, massive data leaks are de rigueur, so it's probably just easier to buy databases from criminals on the internet.

Everyone's experiences will depend greatly on the routes they're flying and their home airport(s). If you're flying on a regional for the legacy airlines, you will be on a smaller plane (though turbo-props are pretty rare these days). The worst is the CRJ200, aka "The Devil's Chariot."

Since Southwest only flies 737s, you'll get a roomier ride than a regional.

Point 2 does not require what you call a "dualist view", it's simply stating that deep neural networks are not all there is to intelligence. Another layer of fact checking, maybe even imperative programming, could be an answer. It certainly has nothing to do with soul, but with the belief the human brain is a bunch of lookup tables.

> The reason is that some far stronger and/or more dangerous acids occasionally show up in household settings. Example: "battery acid", splashed on the skin, can cause horrific & life-long damage in seconds.

I had to look up "battery acid"; turns out it's sulfuric acid, which is well known to be very dangerous.

Of course, so is hydrochloric acid, which is the acid in human vomit. The destructiveness of the solution is not determined by the acid -- we use HCl because it is extremely destructive! -- it is determined by the acid's concentration.

Note that vomiting more than a normal amount (say, because you're bulimic) will cause noticeable acid damage to your teeth.

It's not just the CDC who failed, it's also the WHO. Truest in the WHO plummeted after they appeared to 'cover up' for China.

From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7992121/pdf/406...

The World Health Organisation (WHO) initially declined to endorse wearing of ‘medical masks’ as a non-pharmaceutical intervention to prevent or reduce the spread of the SARS-Cov-2 virus and strongly opposed using other forms of masks. In the second version of the WHO’s advice in March 2020 (WHO, 2020a) it stated that:

A medical mask is not required for people who are not sick as there is no evidence of its usefulness in protecting them.

Cloth (e.g. cotton or gauze) masks are not recommended under any circum- stances.

However, by December 2020, the WHO recommended wearing of non-medical masks of various kind in certain community settings—subject to recommendations on how this is done. It did so, “Despite the limited evidence of protective efficacy of mask wearing in community settings” (WHO, 2020b). Various public health experts and epidemiologists have gone further, asserting that community use of non-medical masks is crucial for slowing transmission and attributing better outcomes in some countries to early adoption of widespread mask usage. Some countries that were initially reticent to even recommend mask use have made a comparable about-turn, making mask wearing mandatory and failure to do so subject to criminal penalty.

Under the currently-dominant hierarchy in evidence-based medicine, credible evidence on mask usage must come from randomized control trials; it was the absence of significant positive effects from RCTs prior to the pandemic that informed the WHO’s initial stance.

My hoodlum friend took me to the Suffolk Downs race track during football season. There was no horse racing; the place was used as a legal betting place.

There were three levels. On the bottom were nasty desks and booths under harsh fluorescent lights. Lines at betting windows. Semi-pathetic characters in soiled pants and hoodies working on their bets, then standing on line at those windows. Now up the stairs to the second level. Here was a well appointed cafeteria with cushioned seats. Kind of like a Denny’s or a large mall restaurant. Here, the denizens were older and better fed

Now the hoodlum was a member of the “Club.” This was on the top, with a panoramic view of the race track finish line. Here was wood paneling, a full bar, and lots of tables with comfortable chairs. Everyone seemed to know everyone. The walls were covered with TV’s showing every active race track in the U.S., and the degenerate gamblers here would bet them. Galilean relativity was in evidence. As the horses approached the finish line at some track somewhere, a patron would yell: Where’s the wire? Where’s the wire? In the horses frame of reference, the wire was coming to them, and the horses desperately groped to reach the moving wire first. Three levels, just like that market.
True, but that's where the "Starting at" trick comes into play or don't have Pricing be a top level link on your landing page.
> before they start intermittently disconnecting, eventually failing completely

My phone had this problem. I went through several cheap USB cables over the course of a year, before finally realizing it's not the cables that were the issue (other than being cheap and easy to deform): the issue was caused by lint accumulated in the USB port. After scraping it out with a needle the issue went away.

The lint and dirt will accumulate over time, and get compacted in the port by the charging cable, making it very hard to spot, as it looks just like the back wall of the port would. Cheap USB cables will easily deform after being plugged a couple times, making them much easier to pull out - but this alone will not make the connection intermittent, even though it feels that way if you're not aware of the lint problem.
This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as Brandolini's law or the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle

Cruise went from nothing to a public driverless service in Austin in 90 days, and that involves a LOT more than just mapping the area. Waymo had a comparable timeline for expanding to downtown Phoenix from the suburbs. Mapping is not the albatross you think it is. It's essentially just Google Maps/Streetview (which covers the whole world) with extra sensors and larger hard drives. A problem that's been solved for over 15 years already.

As an inhabitant of Brooklyn, this is pretty funny and spot on. My only criticism is that the prices are too low. Some of the prices are fine, but the upper bound should be increased to the low 20's.
A major factor why I wouldn't want to use Kopia (I looked into it) ist that it is opinionated with regards to how your system is set up (old-school unix FS layouts in a "pets, not cattle" way). It assumes the location of config files and does not allow you to change the backup path that's stored in a snapshot's metadata.

That's bad if you want to use it

1) on NixOS (I don't want backup configs laying around in `~/.config`). As Indy famously said: "That belongs in a Nix expression!"

Edit: On a second note: Why have mandatory config files at all? I don't have an issue with having the option or it being the default, but for my use case being able to specify the whole repository config via arguments sounds considerably more sane.

2) with ZFS snapshots (yes, I'm backing up `/path/to/dataset/.zfs/snapshot/<timestamp>/foo/bar`, but that should not be its path in the metadata!)

OTOH, it seems to have the upside that you can apparently alter snapshots after the fact more easily (e.g. if you find out you shouldn't have backed up that gigantic VM image you just moved somewhere temporarily). I leave the decision on whether this is a footgun or not to you.

And to be clear: The ZFS snaphot thing is also a pain with Restic, too. You can hack around it somewhat better with something like systemd-nspawn, but it really shouldn't be that hard.
Hence my suggestion they’d replace it with an LLM ;)

If only the Motorola 68000 line hadn't taken so long to come up with a usable MMU. Computing history could have been very different.

1979, M68000, CPU, instruction backout broken, so if you wanted to handle page faults, you needed to avoid all multi-step instructions.

1993, M68010 CPU, fixed backout bug.

1987, N68030 CPU with MMU, page faults work.

Early machines required boards full of extra hardware to work around this problem.
Which is why the Macintosh, unlike the Lisa, had a plain 68000 MMU and a DOS-like OS hidden by a very nice GUI.
I’m fairly certain nobody will be passing a patriot act over something this banal though.
Correct.

Software companies have very little cost other than engineering.

For hardware, once your engineers have created a design, you still have to operate a factory, pay for expensive manufacturing equipment and expensive labor required to actually build the design.

Thus, you get much less "margin per engineer" and the available portion of gross margin that can be paid to engineering is much smaller.

Still, thank you OP. It's nice to get some recognition sometimes :)

It's brave to ask for help, and that's a win.

Your process sounds broken, which you're handling the wrong way and retrenching into arrogance/entitlement.

Here are some thoughts:

1. Look at the perspective of the hiring firm. It's a red flag and not realistic to say you know 5 languages/frameworks as a 21 year old with no experience. Be humble.

2. Stop limiting your opportunities. You're competing for a entry-level jobs and frankly, the vast majority will screen with leetcode/aptitude puzzles because your competitors are junior/inexperienced with software too.

3. Don't get over-invested in a rejection or no follow-up. Do a post-mortem to get better and move on.

I think that's the wrong standard for this - "visible evidence of failure", or "fully convincing rational". The burden of proof should be that we stop it unless we can show continual strong evidence of proportionality.
