The comparisons you chose are terrible. We don't have widespread autonomous vehicles. Rockets are complicated but primarily constrained by knowable physics problems. Social media sites are entirely digital systems that do not need to deal with the complexity of the real world and, where they do (like networking connections), they're built on abstractions to manage that complexity.

Logistics problems, especially the logistics of moving humans, are both complicated and complex. You are talking about systems which must interact with manual, human-in-the-loop processes every step of the way. The feedback loops between the digital systems and physical systems are often loose and very costly to tighten (regulations, union rules, passenger behaviors) and the underlying systems that all participants must interact with were some of the very first widespread digital systems.

Today's problem was probably preventable, but don't underestimate how hard the problems become as soon as a system begins to depend on humans and the real world.
Time will tell if the market can longterm normalise $500+ as the entry level for beyond-basic PC graphics.

It's a tough sell from a mainstream gaming perspective, given the relative prices of popular consoles, which have stayed fairly static by comparison.

Therefore I believe the sustainability of high GPU prices is reliant upon proliferation of non-gaming uses.
Remote ZFS replication kinda does. But the offsite backup wouldn't be encrypted and not everyone is using ZFS. So it's not for all situations.
It's not going to take off, since it doesn't have full (or even most) API compatibility with Python. Numba seems strictly better because it can interop with Python.
LOL... you guys are extremely naive, and now quite behind on the news. Even the Western press is now quietly admitting the obvious.

Your comment has excessive hyperbole and isn't constructive to discourse.

Even pro nuclear folks will recognize that it has drawbacks and needs to be managed carefully. They believe that those drawbacks are less than that of fossil fuels and that nuclear can be ramped up faster than renewables.
I have health insurance provided by my employer, but when not employed, I skip it and just pay for anything out of pocket. Hasn't been a problem so far, but I can see how people more attached to health care services might find that hard to make work. Their numbers (and perhaps mine later in life) will be different, of course.

I live in WV. Per capita income in my county is $14k, so most here are living on much less. My only fixed costs are power, property tax (which is pretty low here), internet service, some firewood to supplement what I cut myself, some food to round out the garden diet, and a twice a year run to the dump. But, that's only about $5k/yr. The rest are non-essentials, like buying a new car instead of used, trips, hobby supplies, and the occasional video game.
Allow me to openly admit I wish I was cool enough to be a real-world engineer. Not that I'm anyone of significance, but I do think it's worth generally expressing more regularly.

Why would you recommend 1Password over Bitwarden for less technical folks? Asking because I am about to setup a family plan on Bitwarden for me and my less-technical wife. I already use Bitwarden and have for some time, so seeing if there may be a compelling reason for us to go with 1Password instead.
Yeah, I have 2 reasonably drivable airports that are both served by Delta. It's even the case that I can mostly get a less expensive flight with a good itinerary (airport to hub to destination) or a more expensive flight with a bad itinerary (airport to hub to other hub to destination).

Is Southwest the lone primary carrier for many of their airports?

One of the interesting things I found in this article is that I had no idea what the plastic amazon pouches they kept talking about actually were.

Yeah, for sure. I think people REALLY underestimate how shitty food was in the 60s and 70s too. My mother-in-law told me she didn't really encounter food made with fresh vegetables until the late 80s, and my own father who grew up on a farm told me that he was so sick of mac and cheese and frozen fish sticks by late Winter(when they were running out of preserved food) that he would eat with his eyes closed.
One of Zen ideas is that thinking hides the true nature of the world since it is based on models and interpretations. So not doing interpretations is a step towards enlightenment.
The US wanted to block communism for sure but we aren't organized enough to do subtle things in Europe. We didn't "let you" choose social safety nets over military spending, I say that in part because I've been hearing about insufficient euro military spending for many years. We must have advocated for block commies and military spending. ;-) The US must have tried to suppress communist parties in Italy etc after ww2, probably did terrible things.
Lol the crux here is "swipe to your year". This could be 100 swipes or more. This should not be the standard way you select a number from a sequence of numbers, it is insanity. But even that is better than the common approach which only let's you swipe months.

I've seen it on desktop as well as mobile, I've seen it implemented in JS and not just an HTML5 problem, so there are no excuses, but on the topic of mobile, I have a keyboard that pops up just as quickly as a calendar view, even with the argument that most people prefer to use their phones graphically and spatially (which I don't entirely buy), there's no reason to prevent me from typing in a 4 to 8 digit number if I want to, none. UX design is not just an issue of number of taps, it's an issue of cognitive load required for interaction also, both considerations can introduce or reduce friction, and in the case of a commonly implemented date picker you have artificially introduced friction from both of those considerations, it's a devolution in design, plain and simple.
I'm pretty sure you don't actually reject the outcome of my hypothetical.

There isn't a way to transmute "stuff consumed" into enjoyment/utility/value. We can sort of guess that people who were near starvation but are now eating regularly are somehow doing better, but we are so incredibly far from that world that it's worth asking ourselves whether it is really the same thing at all to say people with more TVs in their homes are better off.

You're right about doomscrolling though. But there again, people are doing it more. It adds to GDP. Are people better off?
Discrete math is still math. A software engineer may not be able to do a Laplace transform without reaching for a book but your typical traditional engineer won't do well with data structure and algorithm questions without training either.

There's a famous economics paper arguing this based on microeconomic factors, and that this is largely a reason why recessions happen.

Yes but the point being that technological achievements aren't the work of a small group of remarkable people. They are due to the hard constant work of regular people making incremental improvements that add up to the achievements we see.

If anything, a giant in this case is an organization of humans who have toiled on those small improvements through many years.

This article doesn't define what a "metaverse programming language" is, and its not really apparent after reading it.

I was a HUGE shill for Tesla's vision (no pun intended) of full self-driving. However, between the (IMO) extremely short-sighted decision of removing ultrasonics to cut costs ahead of Vision replacing them, Elon's ridiculous antics over at Twitter, unjustifiable price increases of both their hard product and FSD, and, most importantly, FSD Beta being downright dangerous to operate, my faith in Tesla solving autonomy has all but evaporated.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to hear that Tesla is doing funny accounting with their Autopilot crash data. I'm starting to think that the feds will drop the hammer hard on their autonomy pursuits in light of this and will force them to:

- Change the product name to something less misleading (While I'm okay with ambitious product names like this, SO SO SO MANY people are not), and

- Honor customers wanting a refund (and I bet there is a long line of people that want one)

I've sold all of my shares in Tesla (admittedly, I didn't have many) and have not only cancelled my interest in another Tesla but have considered trading in our Model 3 for another EV despite a smaller charging network multiple times this year. (To me, there's no point in owning a Tesla if their supercharging network will be forced open to everyone and their path to autonomy is infeasible.)

I've been using FSD Beta in our Model 3 this past year. It has gotten a lot better throughout that time frame, but it is very far from safe to use, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it for anyone but the faint of heart.

When it works, it works really nicely. Beta has smartly routed around construction and does a good enough job of navigating around other cars and predicting their behaviors.

Unfortunately, when it doesn't work, it REALLY doesn't work.

Even in the most recent release that dropped this month, Beta has attempted to run red lights and drive on wrong sides of the road, has missed or made wrong turns a surprising number of times, and done some of what I can only call "generally extremely wild shit" (like super sudden stopping and sharp turns without telling you why). It usually picks lanes correctly, but will just as often pick lanes that will take you to the wrong place or straight up don't make any sense. It also LOVES switching lanes at the very very last minute, usually right before a turn onto another road, which is confusing for everyone.

It's actually gotten worse in situations previous versions excelled in.

I even turned it off completely at one point because it was about to miss a turn that it nailed several times before, in broad daylight, with no other traffic around, for no reason.

Recently, I've been thinking about GM, Ford and Waymo's approach to autonomy (LiDAR for object measurement and detection and pre-mapping as many roads as possible). If Google Maps could map over 80% of America's roads within two or three years, then assuming that mapping can be done "at the edge" (i.e. with regional mapping vehicles), what's stopping these companies from doing the same thing? Furthermore, if mapping and equipping cars with LiDAR scales well, then what worth is there in trying for a vision-only approach?

Why (and I realize this is one of those questions that sounds snide, but I do not mean it so) should a creator's kids gain from a piece of art or work of music after a creator's death?

Editing to clarify: I fully accept that copyright is a good thing to give incentives to people to make art and music and creative works, I just don't understand why that incentive should be transmissible to their kids, i.e. people who were presumably not involved in making it in the first place.

I've been zapped by microphone stands more than once and seen one musician take a serious hit just after plugging in his guitar.

I am not sure too. I also want AGI to happen but we need to acknowledge the limitations of current formalisms and I think people are married to formalisms.

They don't have to be spotless. Audio CDs at least also play when scratched and dirty-ish. I don't recommend it, because the dirt can fall off and accumulate inside the player, but I've had very few problems. I got my first in '84 or '85, and all but two of 500+ still can be played back. I've never had a problem with a DVD, but they are considerably newer.
They probably would not have made it this far if they tested for every possible scenario, their margins are razor thin.

Anyway, doesn't even the best testing only catch 40% of bugs or thereabouts? It's not a silver bullet.
From the wiki article about the Uber incident:

> The recorded telemetry showed the system had detected Herzberg six seconds before the crash, and classified her first as an unknown object, then as a vehicle, and finally as a bicycle, each of which had a different predicted path according to the autonomy logic. 1.3 seconds prior to the impact, the system determined that emergency braking was required, which is normally performed by the vehicle operator. However, the system was not designed to alert the operator, and did not make an emergency stop on its own accord, as "emergency braking maneuvers are not enabled while the vehicle is under computer control, to reduce the potential for erratic vehicle behavior", according to NTSB

So Uber had a lot of systemtic issues leading to the crash, but even if most of those were fixed, I think Comma's approach works better here because it is explicitly not trying to do any of this fancy classification and prediction. If a human sees an unknown moving object near the road at night, they start slowing down even before they have identified the object. Comma is trained to just do what a human would do, so it will also slow down.

A high false positive rate doesn't imply a low false negative rate. If you're building a well-functioning system you have to consider trade-offs between the two, but a badly-functioning system can achieve both high false positives and high false negatives.

I remember reading about the Delta incident a ways back, here they claim it cost them ~$150 million. https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2016/09/08/delt...

That's not the article I hoped to find however. I seem to remember there was another article where they hired a investigator/consultant to figure out the price to migrate to the cloud and ensure "this never happens again."

My recollection of that was: their scheduling/ops team is also in the same city (Atlanta GA) as this datacenter, and that teams work was brought to a halt by the datacenter outage. The investigator concluded that Delta would need redundant copies of the ops team or the whole effort of moving the software to the cloud would just be at risk to something happening to the human team all in the same city. That would obviously cost to much money, so Delta decided to skip it.
That's how SSNs are distributed now. The majority of adults did not get them assigned at birth. Before the 80s, it was common not to get one at all until you started working. After the mid-80s a child needed one for their parents to claim them as a dependent, with the minimum age lowering until we reached today's situation.
Not saying it's the best out there (and the UI is a little clunky as it often flashes a pin input screen that gets skipped over when using your fingerprint), but I like how Keypass2Android can be configured to do it. When you select "Enable Biometric Unlock for Quick Unlock" (and don't disable the PIN feature) you can use your fingerprint as long as the app is still in memory, without it storing your master password.

I know the Android Lastpass client would often prompt for a Master Password if it hadn't been used in a while, then let Fingerprints unlock it. I assumed it did something similar but haven't deep-dived the implementation.

It is certainly possible to make a self-driving system with vision alone.

But it is also extremely likely that this is much harder than doing it with radar and lidar added to vision. Since nobody knows how to do any of them yet, you can't expect the company trying to solve the much harder problem to be one of the first to get it.

Their communication is a constant denial of this fact. So they either have no idea what they are doing, or are lying through their teeth.
