Planetfall is another by the same author as Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Leather Godesses of Phobos and A Mind Forever Voyaging. AMFV doesn't get the love it deserves. It is more about real interactive fiction than puzzle solving. Hitchhiker's is enticing but pretty difficult--not as big an issue perhaps these days as it's so easy to "cheat" if you get stuck as opposed to calling the author :-)

Trinity is another good one. As is The Lurking Horror--set at a thinly-veiled MIT campus where many of the authors were from.
You're right. Other failures back then were also trying to do that.

Unfortunately, it wasn't generally accepted that those two goals were not achievable. That's engineering for you: figuring out what's actually possible.

There was a little sticker you could put on the back of your Palm Pilot that reminded you of the Graffiti language. As you said, it was not a deal-breaker.
Even if you aren't replaceable they will still replace you. It could be detrimental to them but they'll do it anyway
These levels mostly refer to liability, not to capability.

Full autonomy is different from level 3. Also it's important to note that they assume liability when L3 is in use.

The previously linked article makes 4 arguments but this is the one I find most compelling:

even Treasury’s own regulations and past executive orders limit the applicability of sanction controls to transactions with persons, entities, or their property. The Tornado Cash sanction was made without statutory and also without regulatory authority. It was made contrary to law.
Waymo and Cruise have level 4, but in tightly geofenced areas.

Tesla have no geofence, but only level 2 (requires constant supervision).

Which makes this is an impressive achievement! I believe it's the first level 3 system that you can purchase outright and not limited to specific cities.

I have not yet read the story but if the human is recreated every time from the same immutable data, and doesn't have any recollection of other experiences, then each new instance is pretty much exactly like us? And death is indeed a relief because the instance that does die stops suffering?

This is a great writeup by a central figure in Python packaging, and gets to the core of one of Python packaging's biggest strengths (and weaknesses): the PyPA is primarily an "open tent," with mostly independent (but somewhat standards-driven) development within it.

Pradyun's point about unnecessary competition rings especially true to me, and points to (IMO) a hard reality about where the ecosystem needs to go: at some point, there need to be some prescriptions about the one good tool to use for 99.9% of use cases, and with that will probably come some hurt feelings and disregarded technical opinions (including possibly mine!). But that's what needs to happen in order to produce a uniform tooling environment and UX.

This is about (re)liability, rather than features.

Meaning, this is the first stock car you can actually buy where you do not need to hold the wheel anymore when it is self-driving.
> The accident in the Bay Bridge tunnel has occurred with Tesla's Full Self-Driving Beta mode active indeed, just as the driver claimed.

This is almost certainly false. This kind of highway uses Autopilot, not FSD beta. In fact in the tweet that they show that simulates that same drive you can see on the screen that it's using Autopilot, not FSD beta.
Since you raised your doubts, I just re-watched it - series 3, episode 4. And I confirm the view.

The whole episode is about the clumsiness of living, consistently with the project idea ("the IT crowd", outcast specialists with little interface to the public, which is a mass of people thrown into some role "«not doing much work but constantly having affairs»" - confused humans -, with a link which is the portrait of incompetence trying to make a living - trying to live - into something she does not understand). All the characters do is "attempting", trying to fit a role. The difficulties of living roles could be a trigger for the development of the substory involving Douglas Reynholm and April (and the gender instrumental to that). The whole idea climaxes in the "collapse of civilization" when the "stakeholders", as "topmost layer of the role-players", are in front of the catastrophic loss of the Internet, and the "punchline from above" is that of Moss: «It really isn't that funny» - of course, because it is tragic.

While I could see that the "It's over" scene could be to some extent insensitive, given that the writers may have supposed that it would be something lived by a number in such group, it was instrumental to the fight scene, which is a consolidated topos. And the "victory" seems to be on the other side, since the "punchline from inside" is that of Douglas, which ends the episode crying, going "It's not the same!" (It's not the same without her, or him - as she was both the "other half" and the "pal"). So, not only I do not see a phobia, but on the contrary, I see the opposite message, towards seeing people for what they are, and to love that whatever they are (also since the premise of the whole is, as said, that they will be confused imperfect players) - Douglas could not and he is alone crying.
The punchline of the story is supposed to be that Gates just knows that if the world's most famous investor proposes a bet, you don't want to take the other side of it. If Buffett wants to go second, then so does Gates.
As stated in the article, this is only up to 40 MPH, however know that "level 3" doesn't always mean 40mph. Per SAE, the ODD (operational design domain) is entirely defined by the manufacturer of the car/autonomy system in use, so the next manufacturer might be able to introduce Level 3 up to 45mph or 55mph. The document[0] includes low speed traffic as an example of level 3 operation:

> A Level 3 traffic jam feature performs the complete DDT on a fully access-controlled freeway in dense traffic, but requires a human driver to operate the vehicle upon ODD exit (e.g., when traffic clears, as well as before entering the congested freeway, and again upon exiting it).

Is this using Nvidia’s tech or MB’s own HW/SW?
I think you could do most of it as a point and click. Perhaps with the exception of that one command (if you know what I mean) because the mere possibility of it would be revealing in a point-and-click. But you could do that in a Sierra AGI type graphical adventure because that still has a parser.

Compared to numpy, octave has a nicer syntax for matrix math, but a bit idiosyncratic as a general language. It doesn't have anywhere near the ecosystem of Python/NumPy/SciPy. It is also nice in that there is a standard development shell with REPL plotting, debugging and text editor. Like numpy it is pretty slow if you have to actually use for loops over large data sets.

I started out doing aerial infrared photography for farmers in 1983 when it meant storing film in the refrigerator and renting a Cessna. Then in the nineties I moved on to buying satellite photos.

But there was a fundamental disconnect between how a fertilizer company wanted to buy photos and how the satellite company wanted to sell them. We ideally wanted to buy them by the field, the section or township at worst. The satellite company wanted to sell you a 'scene' which was 10-12 counties. Most farmers trying technology as a test would give you 5-10% of their acreage. Try telling your boss you wanted to buy photos where you weren't going to use 99%+ of them.

Then to make it worse here in Michigan it is quite cloudy. You get your photos and 50-60% of them are ruined by cloud cover. When it worked the photos were a godsend. Getting three or four flyovers a season allowed you to spot trends as well.

I personally think drones will win the ag market. What I wanted to do back in the nineties was launch a drone from the county airport and have it automatically fly to a given set of gps coordinates and return at nighttime. Cost is lower, I don't have to buy any extra photos that I don't want and because its below the clouds all the photos are useable.

But back then the technology didn't exist. But the tech has been there since 2010. Since 2015 its been possible to fly around other planes in the sky and geofence fields near airports. But the FAA won't grant permission, even for tests. I know at least two Michigan startups that went broke waiting and I suspect there are many more. So for now you have no choice but try using satellite companies. As a result the market is 1-2% of what it could be.

You're overthinking it and in fact AWS has a bunch of security stuff (HSM, secure enclave, etc) that makes it extra attractive. For reference, Stripe (which isn't FTX but it's Fintech and handles large amounts of money) uses AWS for their environment. If you're asking if there's some secret hidden AWS region FTX was using, why would they bother? The known special region, GovCloud, is a couple years behind the other regions in features. Also from what's been publicly revealed, FTX isn't exactly the shining example of the finest possible engineering.

Given that Google's whole IoT world is seemingly moving to Fuchsia this is a bit of a surprise.

That said, Nest Hub type product is I think the only one with user facing UI and it is extremely extremely limited, really more an appliance with a couple fixed hooks/extension points 3rs parties can tap into, versus being a general OS.

I still have an ebay search I havent cancelled to show me results for one of the old 2-in-1 machines that had been a dev target, the Acer Swift 7. But that was sooo long ago now. And I dont really know what user-facing intents have really emerged or grown since. Seems hard to kickstart a new consumer os. And having your own niche appliance os is fine, but less interesting.

It'll be interestint to see what happens with 3rd party Chromecast/Google Cast products over time. Will Fuchsia ever have inroads on 3rd party products? Do many of them already run & will they continue to run CastOS? I was surprised ehen Android Things got dropped, when the ecosystem fractured, given how much infrastructure/packaging/services they had been able to use. Interesting times.

Exactly same experience here when I was about 14, from a single time taking mushrooms.

Like the OP, I was convinced at the time I had some irreparable damage, as I was so seeing after-images and static on walls and felt extremely disassociated/anxious, but it was probably more garden variety anxiety than I admitted at the time. Constantly fixating on your thoughts because you think you're losing it is enough to make life pretty stressful. I got therapy and slowly forgot about it.

I still have some HPPD symptoms, but interestingly those (and the anxiety) only started after I began looking for them after reading about them online a week or two after the incident, so I've always been curious if anyone can turn off their brain's filter enough to notice them if they tried.
I've read that post a couple of times, and even wrote a response to it[1]!

TL;DR: The Treasury Department doesn't care that Tornado Cash is "just" a computer program, because a computer program is an instrument made and operated by human beings. Even an autonomous program does not escape this, for the same reason that you can't escape a murder charge by throwing a bomb into the air and claiming gravity as a defense.

They also sometimes included essentially proto-copy protection, e.g. you need this decoder wheel to solve some puzzle--which of course worked a lot better pre-Web.

Exactly. Same back then as today.

You need an anti-rocket munition to move faster than the rocket so that the rocket does not hit its target while the anti-rocket munition is on the way. It's not about the speed of impact.

Also, for an offensive weapon, the munition should move fast enough to reach a moving target. It should reach the target quickly enough to make evasive maneuvering harder, and to not be destroyed by protective fire en route.

Using the most lauded distro, plugging a very common model of laptop into an external display (very common activity), and having it crash is inexcusable. That is not an OS that can be used for day-to-day work.

I hear YOU in YOUR belief that desktop linux is stable and ready for primetime. Maybe some day that'll be true. I think it'll probably be sooner than I think, but it's not there yet.

Desktop linux still has tons of rough edges, weird glitches, and is still quite buggy the second you take it out of the rather narrowly defined "best hardware" list. It's come a long way, but even the teams building these distros have their own "100 papercuts" lists, and the stuff on there is pretty low hanging fruit, even today.

Consider instead: a Plex library backed by a “disk drive” that’s actually a DVD/Blu-Ray jukebox. You can fish the disks out if you really want, but most of the time they’re just “online” as part of your library. Buy a new one? Feed it to the jukebox. Ideally, rip one “into the library” and the jukebox will consume a blank disk to burn it, then file it.
