RPC works for just non Google and Google scale. This is one of the times where, IMHO, you can skip the middle section. Novices resort to RPC, Google resorts to RPC, and in the mid tier you have something where messaging can step in.

Why not skip it? Use RPC like a novice. If it becomes problematic, start putting in compensating measures.

And it just so happens that most meteorological payloads tend to be cylindrical/small boxes.

I think your detractors are reading snark where humor is more likely.
I think trams and buses work well, too. Of course buses are getting closer to autonomous taxis, but it still feels more efficient to share a bus than to have one person per taxi :).

Then of course they can be used together. In my city there is a system of rental cars that you leave at different stops: you have a card and can just take the car if it's there. The car doesn't come to you, but still it's a pretty good solution I think.

Anyway, autonomous cars have to get reliable before they can actually be used with public transports, I guess.
But is there any reasonable way for that to happen without outside intervention from an organized entity? It seems like something that can’t happen “without bootstrapping”.

Exactly, China was boasting about it's ability to shoot down high altitude balloons in 2019. You can still find some stuff in Mandarin, but everything in english, has been taken down. They were boasting about their high altitude surveillance balloons a year ago, and again you can still find some original material, but all of the english language articles have been removed. The propaganda machine is spinning on it's head now.

They tried that by making a bit available with a remote cloud builder for Bazel. It failed for some reason and they pulled it.

Also....for me. At one point a janked up Firefox instlal on 8.1 created something like 100+ duplicates of some of my containers, specifically ones names TEst and Test2.

So each time i setup a new browser and sync then, i have to go through and manually delete all the duplicates.

They dont re-appear once deleted and changes still sync (ie: if i add a URL rule to always open in x container) but holy crap is it annoying.

"A Citizen. Rights and responsibilities, etc."

Haha OK. Why not do that for police and judge positions too? Then you'd eliminate the need for this.

"That's the downside of random cohorts. But compared to the alternatives (that we actively gripe about), occasional lack of ability is the lesser of two evils."

That's one opinion.

"This would also be lessened if there weren't a way to get out of it."

In one way I agree. In practice I don't. Forced incompetence is generally going to lead to really poor outcomes. By theway, how are Putin's conscripts doing?
Very few ML papers use a held-out test set that is only used for publication.

When you use your test set as part of model selection, you don't really have an empirical test set -- you do have a training set that you've partitioned into various parts for various purposes, but you don't have a proxy for how the system will perform in the face of new data, because you're reporting results that are based on data that you used as part of your model-generating process.

If you try out models A, B, C, and D while developing, and then it turns out model D has the best performance on your test set, and you report your results using model D and that same test set, you are essentially "training" using your test set.

Yes, in some problem contexts, for ML researchers who are also in the business of generating their own datasets, the data they test on can be entirely new. But for anyone using a pre-existing dataset, holding out a test set for your project is not yet a well-established practice -- and this makes it somewhat harder to trust the results.

> When a bus turned down her street, she stepped off the curb, but the bus did not slow down. Half an hour later, a second bus cruised by her outstretched, dollar-waving hand. It is an unhappy fact of Oklahoma City life that bus drivers bypass would-be riders in very poor neighborhoods, and blacks in less poor ones.

After an hour, a bus pulled over. It took her to the center-city bus depot, which is situated in front of the county jail. Waiting for a transfer bus under a billboard for Crawley 24-Hour Bail Bonds, Kim was propositioned by a man wheeling a baby carriage and smoking a Black & Mild cigar.

> She then learned that the job required her to work until 9 p.m. There is no regular bus service to Sooner Haven or its environs after dark.

> Another bus was coming through the shopping plaza. Kim stepped forward, signalling furiously. When it swerved around her, she sank to the curb. The bus was not only the seventh one to pass her that day; it was the last bus to Sooner Haven until morning. In terms of landmass, Oklahoma City is the third-largest metropolis in America, and she was a five-hour walk from home.
I searched for 'implement coreutils ada' but nothing came up.

There is Spyder which is pretty similar: https://www.spyder-ide.org/
Drone at 40000 feet? That's higher than most airliners - that would need be one heck of a drone, especially given where they have shot it down and how far it would have had to fly.

Much more likely sounding/meteorological balloons - a lot of those are sent up every day, worldwide, with payloads that are roughly cylindrical in shape. And some of them can traverse huge distances, even across oceans, so such "UFO" doesn't need to originate locally at all.
The problem is that they did understand the state of affairs (or at least thought they did). It's very easy for us to look back at this with hindsight and see that they didn't understand the problem, but given the knowledge at the time, they understood the situation pretty well. The biological function of vitamin C that we now understand would have been an unknown unknown to them - they hadn't even discovered vitamins in the first place! What they did understand was that fruit keeps scurvy at bay, and citrus fruit is especially good at it. So exchanging one citrus fruit for another made sense according to Chesterton's fence - they understood why they were eating lemons in the first place and understandably assumed that limes would work in the same way.

As an aside, this also highlights one of the key flaws with Chesterton's fence, or at least its overuse: there is almost always _something_ that we don't understand about our changes. In the case of the limes, they understood that citrus fruit helped, but they didn't have the correct biological mechanisms by which it functioned. But this is true today - there are plenty of subjects where we understand lots of things about how something functions, but don't necessarily understand why it behaves that way. And that's just the cases where we know we don't understand something. There are surely many completely unexpected scientific discoveries to come. If we were to apply Chesterton's fence too liberally, we'd get very little done.

The same applies to more mundane cases. In terms of code, I'm generally a big fan of understanding why some feature was implemented before I start making changes to it, but I've had cases where I've tried to understand the original reasoning, but that reasoning later turned out to be wrong. Sometimes the best thing to do is simply to throw out all the old and embrace the unknown, accepting that it will probably go wrong in some ways, but also hoping that a new approach can be found.

So while I'm generally a fan of Chesterton's fence, I think it's important to recognise that it's just one approach in a toolbox of many valid but often contradictory approaches.
> MOND can’t explain the motion of galaxy clusters at all

Yes that's fine, but it also doesn't necessarily try to [1]. LCDM can't explain linear Tully-fisher, can't explain external field effect, can't explain why satellite galaxies are long lived, can't explain why bullet cluster even exists (galaxies shouldn't be going that fast), can't explain early galaxies, etc.

[1] so maybe it shouldn't. There's a lot of systematic uncertainty in some of those really large scale movements. For example suppose our standard candle was off by half an order of magnitude at the largest scales. For LCDM, not a problem. Reparametrize the distribution and ratios of dark matter. Presto chango theory still works. That this should be possible should scare you.
ClickHouse vs. BigQuery
How has your experience been? It depends on the use case which obviously differs on a case by case basis where BQ has its advantages vs Clickhouse and the other way around. I am simply curious on which one you went with for what kind of a use case and how your experience was?
Someone did do RISC sooner; for example, MIPS shipped R2000 in 1985 and Clipper shipped C100 in 1986. SPARC and 88k were introduced within a year of each other as I recall (87/88).
The counter argument was simple, but nobody in the room would probably have used it.

Stuff in Vegas gets built at enormous expense and then torn down just as quickly when the property isn't making money anymore. And then it's just an empty parking lot in the desert and it's forgotten.

FlightGear is not "simple".
John Carmack is a strange character. Ideologically, he sees the failure of Oculus' business model; but practically, he has ignored it from the word, "go". Let the business-obsessed people deal with that.. spoiler: they did.

He's the one who made the whole thing viable in the first place! I would hate to stand in his shoes, to watch the fruits of my labor rot on the ground below, begging someone to simply reach down and pick them up: someone whose entire business model forbids them.

Was it worth it? Sure, he got to work on something really cool, and get paid lots of money... Yet it seems obvious from where I'm standing that this story could have been written with much more satisfying goals, and still played out with most of the same benefits reached.

Just look at the valve index! Huge success without any of this walled-garden bullshit or compromise, and it's still king 4 years in. The only advantage Oculus has had is affordability, but I'm still not convinced walled-garden paths are the only ones that lead to cheap.
The key was the verb "to build", human-built nuclear reactors. Clearly, the Sun is a thermonuclear reactor, and it exists independently of humans.
Likely the former because NORAD has made some statements about disabling filters on their radar data processing software that would have previously classified these as noise, effectively rendering them invisible.

Probably the best stealth there is: to be classed as noise.

<< Then the system propaganda has worked fully. You police your own speech.

I will expand a little on the why so as not to look like I am being difficult. I am actively avoiding the conversation I mentioned not because of propaganda, fear thereof, its impact or even because I police my own speech. I avoid it because it is largely pointless. For better or worse, both major parties in US noted that you can make anything work well if you compare the other team to nazis. For that reason and that reason alone, you will see constant bickering whether fascism is a left or right wing ideology, which manages to completely miss the point, because it does not rely on two poles of US politics ( that likes to keep things simple for people ) for its origin. It is like trying to put a square in a round box. It can be done, but nuance will be lost.

<< Why not? Cause the current ruling class frowns up it?

No. Because it is a bad idea. It is difficult to put in words how bad an idea it is, but I will say this. For all my beef with current system, at least it has a degree of predictability and stability to it, which is more than most periods that came before it. It is pretty selfish, but I would like that state to continue for as long as possible. Proposed solutions will not make for a stable society.

Isn't heat detected by infrared? What's the difference?
I haven't seen benchmarks, but my understanding is to officially claim USB4 support with Windows, 40Gbps and PCIe tunneling support are both required. This PC World article has some real world testing w/ a Ryzen 6000 laptop: https://www.pcworld.com/article/703578/usb4-support-amd-ryze...

I'm sure you can get a BSP contract w/ AMD to get implementation details (or simply have a relationship with a board design partner, but I'm not really sure why there would be an expectation for public information on something that's not really relevant to the general public).
It doesn't even take people to build a nuclear reactor, let alone mathematics.
Some modern imaging-based guidance packages for anti-aircraft missiles use multiple spectra to defeat countermeasures like flares. While a flare and a plane sometimes look similar in IR, they are easy to discriminate in the UV spectrum.
Well, you cannot directly “screw with the kernel” on Windows. I am not sure how that is keeping you from growing as a developer exactly though. You can write your own kernel from scratch using Windows as your host platform. And, of course, you can build a filesystem to use with Windows. You can even make it Open Source as well which many have.

If you do want to “screw” with the system on Windows, one option would be to replace the MS stuff one DLL at a time. You might take a DLL from ReactOS for example and make it work with your version of Windows, extending or altering it as you desire.
The SDA satellites are barely skimming Earth's atmosphere and may eventually take a more "active" role intercepting missiles and even targeting the ground, at least that's according to the SDA program's founder,

I wonder how long the GPT-3 API will be open for general use. Once big money is involved, it's questionable whether it will remain available.
I taught high school math, there's many who rely on calculators for even the most basic calculations because they can't do them and have no concept of what it means to, say, multiply two numbers or how to even go about doing it.
These freedom balloons or whatever, they have a neat trick I remember reading about. In principle, if you're at very high altitude, you can simultaneously image everything over hundreds of square miles, with the right optics and an extremely large camera array (many gigapixels). You're close enough to identify faces (unlike orbiting satellites 200 km+ up). And you can stare at everything forever, 24/7, except that the firehose of data is unmanageable (even just a direct downlink would be impossible). So the solution, the trick, is a large FPGA on the balloon that classifies small pixel regions, according to whether "these pixels are static"; "these pixels might contain a human"; or "these pixels are non-static but probably not human". And the result is to select small windows out of the firehose for real-time downlink, while discarding the rest (or just updating it at low refresh rate).

I don't know if this was common knowledge or not: but the effect is you can continuously stare at incredibly large swaths of land at once, with the illusion of a pseudo-100+ Gbps video feed, through the right combination of vehicle/optics/camera/signal processing.

Program cost is 2 years and about $20K.

The only difference between this and, say, the electrical apprentice/journeyman/master path is that a company will pay for you starting at the journeyman point. Which is good because you have to do 8000 hours (4 years!) to become a full-fledged journeyman.

So, again, we come back to companies simply aren't paying enough money.

I know several tech companies that fund local community college program scholarships simply to get their output. It's a rounding error on their "community outreach" budget (somthing like $1000 a student for <20 students).
The feature is incredibly buggy. I wrote a sibling comment that details some of the glitchiness.

It's dangerous to use a system that can't keep sessions independent. There are bugs that may cause you to inadvertently take action in the wrong account. I nearly botched one of our own accounts.
> 1. How do you get away with not supporting the second-most popular browser?

Quite easily: desktop SaaS web application; no Macs in the office and no interest in buying them specifically for iOS; no customers using Macs. Also, Safari works Well Enough (TM) for people not to complain about the minor CSS offsets and if they do they can always install Firefox. I don't work there anymore, but I doubt any customer will even try to switch to Macs in the next five years.

For my personal use cases: if my site doesn't work on Safari, I can't legally test it on any of my devices so I don't bother. Even Microsoft published a cross-platform browser, I'll care about Safari the moment I can apt-install safari-dev/winget install safari.

> Funny, iOS tends to be upgraded further back (ie support older devices), and faster [2], than (say) Android [3], because Apple is aggressive about updating users.

Yes, iOS updates devices faster. However, Chrome isn't tied to the OS.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: my perfectly good iPad 2 is useless despite its quite competent CPU purely because there are no browsers for it. Had it run Android, I could just install Chrome and use it for slower but quite usable browsing; with the Safari lockdown the device became useless.

You can't install an up-to-date version of Safari onto iOS 15 because of Apple's architecture decisions, despite iOS 15 still receiving plenty of other updates, which means you're restricted in features if you can't install the latest major upgrade.

Google decoupled WebKit from the system image years ago and has always allowed alternative browser engines like Firefox, which means you can install the latest version of Firefox on Android 5.0 (November 2014) or Chrome on Android 7.0 (March 2016), but not Safari 16 on iOS 8 (September 2014) or iOS 10 (September 2016). My Oneplus One (April 2014) still browses the web fine, and it's a mere budget device compared to something like an iPhone!
> Barring criminal acts, you really don't want people suing a company for some action to instead identify all the individuals who were involved in some decision and go after them personally.

You've inadvertently touched upon the thing I find most confusing about the concept of "corporate personhood", which is that they aren't treated anything like people when it comes to crimes. You might argue this makes sense, since they can't become citizens or vote either, but at that point I have to wonder why "corporations are people" is a more reasonable way to define things than just saying that some (but not all) things people do can also be done by corporations (like owning property, etc.). It makes as much sense to me as arguing that we should just define bats as birds because most animals that fly are birds, and it would be easier to just make "flying" only apply to birds instead of just saying it's a thing that non-birds can do as well.
To explain 'why' it behaves this way is quite simple the stdlib does not have slicing operators for all of your expected cases, Nim does not have postfix operators(aside from [], {}, *) so 3.. is just impossible to define.
