From the misspelling of education to the apparent breathlessness with which this prognostication is offered up as a fait accompli, it's perfection itself!

We live in a world in which for some strange reason people try to educate children and work at jobs making more than subsistence wage, and even try to get raises and promotions, and even when they get a job making six times the average, they keep working and advancing, but no, if UBI is enacted, civil unrest and world war will be the least of our problems. CHILDREN WILL CEASE TO LEARN!

Hahahahahahahaha! Okay, NOW carry on.

> what about all the countries that the USA has relationships to, to their advantage only, after killing their citizen, without even apologizing?

As I said: literally whataboutism. And that is just a distraction tactic used to deflect attention from the issue at hand.

In some limited circumstances it may be a legitimate tactic, for example, when it is relevant to highlight that the person making the accusation has a bias. For the most part, however, even if the person making the accusation is a hypocrite or has double standards, this does not mean that their accusation is false.

if you sell me something that says it does X on the box, but doesn't actually do X then that's all the purview needed. if they have to prove it by getting into the source code, then all the better. assuming this would be some 3rd party auditing company doing it for them. why? there's a difference of being so bug ridden that your software doesn't work vs just doesn't even attempt to do what the box claims.

There's certainly people who are doing it out of anxiety, either intentionally or because of their own history or mental issues. For them, it may not be easy or possible to just decide to live another way. Either there actually is something they need to be adversarial towards or they're well aware that it's not necessarily rational, but it's not any easier for them to stop than it is for a depressed person to "just be happy".

I did not mean output as in the actual result of running the code. I mean looking at two pieces of code that functionally may do the same thing but the code itself is written in a completely different style.

One of the other differences I have seen, but didn't specifically mention, is unit tests themselves. The web app probably has a ton of them. The Jupyter notebook probably does not. Which is fine, the language is being used for different purposes.

But an advantage of having those types in place is that you can do the static analysis to ensure everything is being used correctly within your codebase. And then you can have your unit tests concentrate on the actual usage rather than other stuff. There is no need to check for / test with a null value when you already know that function is never being passed a null value. And adding those hints has helped me many times with catching edge cases before they even happen where the existing unit tests were never going to hit that edge case.

>Every single space on planet Earth is owned by someone.

I mean technically yes, but also not really. There are so many places in the US that are insanely cheap to live. You can buy a whole house in many small American cities and live the dream on a McDonalds wage, you could even pay it off early if you were frugal. I can find you plenty of houses in the US for sale right now for < $20,000. You can get multiple acres of space in West TX for < $2000. There is a lot of land available for people who want to build a life for themselves.

Your argument only applies to fancy coastal cities where there is a large pool of wealthy (most people working in CA are in the top 1-2% income of the world) people competing for the same space. This leads to obvious questions such as: does everyone have a right to live in the same space? Should property rights exist at all in places where many people want to live?

IMO, it's not slavery if people are trying to live in a place by choice.

We should, of course, do everything we can to build more housing and provide space for as many as we can.

What do you think of uxwizz.com ? The only option is self-hosted, because focusing on the hosted version would mean competing directly against the self-hosted one, so making self-hosting harder would drive more revenue, which seems wrong.
They can't do it willy nilly, if I'm understanding it correctly. Only as part of an ongoing investigation, along with all the legal clauses and restrictions of running an investigation. And this sort of thing is exactly what I'd expect from an FTC investigation.

I see a bunch of people wearing these, and when driving at night, they become really really visible, in a good way. They're less bright than lights from oncoming traffic, so not an issue of being 'too bright', but you can still see the pedestrian from far away, realize it's a human (a lot easier than with reflective strips or dots), and drive accordingly.

10/10, would recommend to pedestrians walking on the steet at night!

> It's not memory safe

Modern C++ has made big inroads into removing memory safety issues though. Memory safety bugs are relatively uncommon in modern C++ compared to pre C++11 times.

You could argue that C++ is still "unsafe by default" and you'd be right. But most C++ programmers use smart pointers and unique pointers rather than raw pointers now, vectors instead of raw arrays, etc.. And it does make a big difference.

You (intentionally?) left out the beginning of that sentence, "In an investigation". Yes, if the FTC decides to investigate you, they can subpoena your code. No, they are not checking everyone's code.
In addition, different game threads for the same game (or even functions within the game threads!) may benefit differently. Physics calculations may benefit from cache in a different way from other game calculations. Even if you zoom into the different type of physics calculations, there are ballistics, soft-body physics, hair, clothing, foliage, water, etc.

It would be interesting to see what kind of performance could be achieved with PERFECT scheduling. That would probably require the CPU to do process scheduling via specialized circuitry though as opposed to (or in conjunction with) the OS.

I think it is more to do with the so called "Object–relational impedance mismatch", which I guess is related to schema migrations.

NoSQL would still have migration issues as the types change over time, much like the table schemas. You would need to be able to read/write older objects stored, or transform them all to the newer object schema in one go.

I remember when Mongo DB first came out, it seemed the most liked feature was that you could just JSON.stringify and JSON.parse things into and out of the db.

I personally prefer SQL tables, as the act of designing the tables and their relations seems to half way solve a problem, and removes the issue of "which tree structure should this value live in, how do I copy it to both of these types?".
I can't parse this headline. What's the verb in this sentence?
I remember in Commodore basic, finding that a period by itself ('.') was parsed as zero, but was actually slightly faster than using zero, and saved a byte every time it was used. In other words, you could write:

10 for i = . to 6.28 step 0.1:next

and it would be slightly faster and smaller than

10 for i = 0 to 6.28 step 0.1:next

Made for some ugly inner loops, but you gotta do what you gotta do. For that matter, we certainly would have removed some of those extra spaces as well. Bytes mattered and whitespace slowed you down.
interesting. i always thought that IR LEDs wouldn't be bright enough, guess they are (at least in total darkness)!

as mentioned all over in the thread, adding jitter would probably help.

worth noting that every camera is going to have a different AE algo, so it could not be relied on and you only need one frame to succeed for the system to be defeated.

what you would definitely get, however, is excessive triggering of any region of interest detection for the video stream. not exactly low key!

all told, pretty cool experiment nonetheless!

on a related note, i often used to think it would be cool to put IR LEDs in public places where people take pictures, sort of like hidden messages or art for people to discover, but only after they look through their phone cameras.
>They „just“ didn’t do their job carefully enough.

How is selectively not doing your job carefully enough a.k.a. looking the other way, different than corruption?

That's literally corruption. You bribe people or pull strings for authorities to look the other way when you comit your illegal activities.
Of course. To some people, that viewpoint is what defines it as good. For others, it's beauty. For others, it's pure diversity. For others, it's minimizing the work involved. The choice of what is considered "good" here is a very personal thing.

I agree - I'm not trying to imply that no cheaper housing would ever be built if we made it easier to build, but that, as you say with cars, it's more likely to happen later as the restrictions let up. For a community or country, however, there's value in trying to serve people of all economic levels, and not simply serve the needs of the richest first. This is especially true when you're talking about building a city or neighborhood where there's a finite amount of land near a train station on highway.

If you wait for builders to "get around to" building cheaper houses, they'll be off in their own area instead of intermingled in the communities that they likely work and go to school in.

I dunno. I lived in a "luxury apartment" for a bit. It had fancier appliances than the cheaper units I lived at. Quartz countertops. All the doors were inside with air conditioned hallways. Climate controlled storage was available on-site. A clubhouse with multiple billiard tables. Fancy pool area with multiple full outdoor kitchen setups. A golf simulator room. A private dog park. Free coffee in the clubhouse/lobby. A gym with nicer equipment than many places I've paid to have gym memberships. Dry cleaning drop off and pickup service on-site. Events put on by the building for poolside movie nights, poker nights in the clubhouse, etc. Other places had dog wash stations, car wash stations, and other amenities.

Luxury apartments can absolutely be luxurious.

foreseeable risks and impact of your AI product before putting it

Allowing the foreigner from a country with no reciprocal permission for us to build in their country works against this though. They're sucking capital out of their country which in the example used of Russia/China would build several more housing units and instead building fewer units in the US. Couple this with lack of reciprocity and what you did was a relative loss in housing potential.

We need to be forcing reciprocity to make sure we're actually maximizing available housing.
