Part of this is the "Look and Feel" Supreme Court decision from Apple v Microsoft (IIRC).

"Workstation" in this context refers to a specific target market and product segment that by industry consensus (and in some cases codified by regulators) carries specific connotations about a machine's capabilities and intended use.

I still don't see the point of the article. If a stock goes up in the long run obviously the sooner you invest the better your return will be. DCA exists for several reasons. For instance, big institutional investor might do it because it reduces volatility of making large purchases that could affect the price in the short run which undercuts their investment & purchase price. Small investors do it because they don't have the money to do lumpsums.

People that get windfalls don't generally park the cash in a savings account, they'll put some in a CD, money market, or bonds as they decide what to invest in otherwise. The money isn't sitting around doing nothing. The premise of this relies on an idea that the money is doing nothing otherwise (though it's available). That is not the case in most circumstances, not just because the money is usually in a safer investment, but because most people don't have spare uninvested money laying around, as I said.
It could be email, but it also be Confluence, Notion, OneNote, or something like that. I understand that you think a chat solution like Slack or Teams or Mattermost is too "chatty", right?
This doesn't seem too take into account that uninvested money could earn interest in a high yield savings account, or government bonds.

Hum... I have no model for what actually happens. It's just that simulated annealing appears quite often on the biologic world, we never found any coordination communication channel that could create something more "intelligent" (AFAIK, there are just a few "neighborhood to global" analog signals available), and there isn't a multiplicity of attempts interacting with each other (again, there is no channel for that) that would lead to a parallel evolutionary strategy.

Also, when we learn a mechanical task, our errors tend to cool down around our successes, instead of following a direction.

But again, I have no idea of any mechanism that is there. It's more because all the others seem to have been eliminated.

"Regardless of those capabilities, the California DMV is placing some serious restrictions on the Merc system.

The system will be usable on California highways in the Bay Area, Central Valley, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego, as well as on Interstate 15 between southern California and Nevada, where the autopilot was approved for use in January."

This indicates to me the limitations come from regulators and not the manufacturer but I might be wrong.
> If stock market always goes up in the long run

The DJIA was 381.17 on September 3rd, 1929. It then went down and did not return to that level until over 25 years later - November 23rd, 1954. Factoring in inflation it would be losing money over a period of 25 years.

The DJIA was 1,051.70 on January 11th, 1973. It then went down during a period of enormous inflation, until it hit that level again on November 3rd, 1982.

We can look at the dot-com collapse in 2000, followed by the sub-prime collapse in 2008, which really roiled the economy, followed by the more recent period of stocks sinking last summer, inflation, FAANG layoffs, relatively tight VC money etc.

As Keynes said, in the long run we're all dead. You can put your money in the market and be underwater for over 9 years, or even over 25 years. Of course, on the other hand you can be completely out and miss out during one of the go-go periods.

This is fascinating and gets pretty interesting. As a computational neuroscience person, some of the more advanced neural signal processing algorithms use generate models internally to model recorded neural data. The result is likely a smoothed, simplified, and hopefully more interpretable view of neural data, but there's no guarantee that some portion of the resulting multidimensional signal isn't hallucinated.

As a result, most findings should be validated by verifying that some property of interest is present in the high dimensional raw neural data, though that's only conceptually possible sometimes.

>The fact that Palantir is a criminal organization is plainly true and certainly substantive.

Perhaps it's plainly true in some trivial sense (all large orgs have committed some crimes), but not in any legally-relevant sense. Otherwise people have to explain the obvious incongruity between this "plain truth" and the obvious fact that Palantir is not facing the sort of legal problems that would be expected of a "criminal organization" (and no, saying "the US judiciary is just very very corrupt" is not a "plain truth" either.)

Unfortunately the general case seems to be influenced quite strongly by Yud. It’s a trickle down effect. So, you’re right, and it’s a good point, as you say. But it was also correct for them to point to Yud specifically as one of the original sources of what some might call hysteria, and others might call reasonable concerns.

I struggled with a teacher in high school who expected me to write essays with a formula I could never really master, there might have been other things going on but a big one was that I read so much that I had so many examples to work from that her formula didn't make a lot of sense to me.

Even though I struggled to get a "D" in her class I am certainly not a bad writer, I've made a living at times writing, I've written book chapters, blog posts, contracts, standards documents and all sorts of things. I struggled to master the language used in academic writing though.
You make some good points about the examples visibility in the docs. I suggest that you write up an issue on Go’s issue tracker.
The article does not say if it’s a Mac Studio or Mac Pro. I think that matters. My understanding is that there is no TDP on Apple Silicon, and that it has a lot of runway in a less constrained thermal environment like the new Mac Pro vs Mac Studio.

One place where I found onboarding effective was one where a target was to have each new hire ship a PR on day 1. This means that all resources are available and working as well as communicating with the team to learn enough about one real problem and solution as well as the entire process loop.

Another method I found effective is simply pair programming but seriously for most of the day every day with the same person for a week or two then with someone else. It basically requires pairing to be part of the culture and not only done in specific cases like onboarding to run without being disruptive.
Yes, I did read his book, and know about his argument about domesticated animals. That lack didn't prevent the Aztecs and Mayans from building an empire of stone buildings.

Why?

In English common law, traditionally 7 is the age of reason, 14 the age of an adult, and 21 the age of majority. We'd have 14 year olds off to sea, etc.

I suspect (but haven't checked) this comes from some biblical rules.

Remember that people can generally breed by 14 (even now, some girls go through pubity around 10 or 11), though a lot of western cultures now outlaw it.
When I read this I thought that some clever engineer is going to start an external web app to rotate badges around to volunteers who can scan them intermittently to make it look like they are in the office. Then I realized that Google is all in with AI and probably has cameras everywhere on campus. All that investment will pay off and permit Google to really see who came in and who handed their badge to a mule. I expect that there will be incredible breakthroughs in disguises that, in the end, will allow employees to fake their own commute. It'll be an epic battle and perhaps there will be a Marvel movie made out of those superheroes and villains.

In urban centers or nearby, the type of location Apple and other big tech are likely to have a campus/office, it is likely much more than one hour roundtrip. What you've done is taken the average across the entire US which includes many places where people work very local jobs that require a 5-10 minute commute and used this to refute OPs claim. While you were at it, you blamed them for making an exaggeration and threw in a little "appeal to motive" to explain why OP would make such an "extreme exaggeration". Be better.

Everyone has a different definitions of short & long term, and the resulting volatility appetite.

Volatility is also a lot easier to read and pontificate about than to experience in real time. What people do during draw downs is often emotion driven and for people who have never been through it, it's hard to infer from textbooks.

And there have been periods where the market has been down for near a decade.
If you put a lump sum at the 2000 peak, you wouldn't be back to even until the 2007 peak.. at which point it promptly crashed and didn't make back to even until 2013. (+/- a few years when you factor in dividends). Similar for 1973/1980/1982.

Slow grind downs like the GFC are harder to experience as you watch slow losses pile up day after day for near 18 months.
Your once in a lifetime trade is flawed in 2 ways:

1. the S&P 500 has never gone completely to zero. It is not the typical gamble where you lose the entirety of your bet if the random doesn't happen your way.

2. you're assuming that it is an event instead of an investment where time matters, where are you are making multiple bets and historically the random is in your favor.

It can take 20 years for the S&P 500 to regain its former position if you include inflation, but for most people learning about investing, that is about a half of their expected investment time.
Just to correct the most glaring mistakes:

Ubuntu is based on Sid (Debian Unstable).

You can download Debian installers for Testing.

Usually nothing on Testing crashes, as such severe bugs are considered blockers to move a package form Unstable to Testing. (Of course once in a few years something slips through the testing period in Unstable. But it's than usually repaired within a few hours.)

People are running Sid. (Even I personally wouldn't recommend it.)

But one point of the parent I strongly support:

Debian's web page is a mess. I'm using this system for decades but still don't find anything on the Debian page without the help of some search engine. Also, when I need Linux related documentation I go to the Arch Wiki (and sometimes to the Gentoo docs), even as a Debian user. OTOH, you only seldom need docu, because Debian "just works" for the most part.

> How raw is raw?

Certainly no jpeg image produced by any digital camera is really “raw” as it will already have been through a debayering filter

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter

And then on top of that is the JPEG compression artifacts.

But I do wonder how many raw files also contain data that has been debayered already. I have not looked into that.

I know that with third party firmware such as Magic Lantern it is possible to get the image data without debayering. https://magiclantern.fm/

Likewise I know that the Camera Module 3 for Raspberry Pi is possible to retrieve the image data from without debayering.
