- No lights

- Some people have gone to burning man with children (didnt know this was possible) https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/09/01/2023-b...

- Rain continues so unclear if the better decision is to stay put vs walk

Not to be discouraging, but promotions rarely go to top performers in the sense of what you're doing. They go to movers and shakers, folks with heavy soft skills who routinely interact with skip levels and the like. Their work output is marginal to the influence they command.

Basically, you're most likely being taken advantage of and will never be properly rewarded for what you're doing, IME.

Seems like most true technology breakthroughs come from materials science. It is much harder to get the benefits of those advances though, since the path from materials science to product can be long and complicated.
Addiction potential, which is contextually oxymoronic.

Everyone knows Xanax and other -zolams will turn you into a demented zombie after a few years of (ab?)use.

It's nearly impossible to kill yourself with it (benzos) alone, but combinations with any other depressant will synergize and potentiate the CNS depressant effect, until you black out and stop breathing.

Isn't this similar to worries about machines taking over human jobs in other areas? Just like machines changed many industries and made people question the need for humans, why should acting be any different?

What's keeping you from connecting to the WiFi? As far as I know, Android and iOS can connect to offline networks just fine. You may need to disable the "network quality" test for that particular network, but I'm pretty sure stock Android stay connected just fine.

I didn't think it was bad but there were some points of confusion that could be improved:

1. "Your style, our editor" Wait is this an editor or a command line tool? I was able to figure it out but the word "editor" is ambiguous here.

2. "that brings your editorial style guide to life." Ok, so do I have to write all my own rules? Or is it like eslint where I choose a base config with ability to override, and possibly add more? These questions are so fundamental I would like to see succint answers at least hinted at in another tag line or short paragraph, even if I can figure them out by digging into the docs.
Totally. Thank you for expanding on "typically".

I think someone going above and beyond to literally save another's life, despite incredible odds, is the definition of a hero. What's cringe about that?

There are two sides to this coin.

It's the classic do we want to keep a human in the loop, or not. By your same point we could argue that robots are more efficient killing machines, so let's make autonomous killing robots.

Back to surgery, there are lots of reasons you want a surgeon in the loop. There are lots if things that robots can do better too (like your tremor example). The key, like many things, is in the shade of grey in between, not the extreme arguments on both sides.

I stand by calling that surgical staff heros, and also think that the future of (good) surgery lies in the combination of skilled medical professional and machine, not the replacement of skilled professionals by machines.

Yeah, the center of gravity of a scooter is higher, which makes it MORE stable than a bike, try balancing a pencil on your finger and then a broom. Which one is easier to balance?

The swerves look scary because the wheels can move a LOT laterally before the rider starts to feel unbalanced and has to take corrective action (an actual turn). It’s an optical illusion.

Yes, the wheels on some scooters are quite small and ride poorly over potholes. That’s a real issue that the rider needs to account for.
> CO2 makes up 0.04% of the atmosphere and humanity is only responsible for 3% of its creation

Although the Amen Break is nearly omnipresent, I think the Futurama mention is misguided.

The rhythm in Futurama is the same as in the song it's based on: Psyche Rock by Pierre Henry. That song was published two years before Amen Brother.

Although the rhythm sounds very similar, Futurama's (or Pierre Henry's) precisely lacks Amen Break's characteristic syncopation on its fourth bar.

I don't think OP is talking about assigning blame in this particular case: The point is that a huge and arguably bigger problem (to the tune of ~40K deaths per year in the US) is buried in one sentence in the middle of the article.

The USA has kind of thrown up its collective hands and declared the danger of car accidents to be unsolvable. We treat it like an inevitable fact of life, now. The most the USA does, regulation-wise, are mild safety regulations on car manufacturers with tons of loopholes. There's relatively little penalty for drivers who accidentally injure or kill with their cars, and almost no liability on the car manufacturer. How does the saying go? If you want to kill someone and minimize your punishment, your best bet is to "accidentally" hit them with your car.
You can do "decent" rates in the US if you only look at gigs that are only looking at US contractors.
> Well only if you don't consider the surgeon who operated the davinci robot.

No, even if you consider the surgeon. The article talks about that the robot is able to do maneuvers that a human hand cannot, drastically simplifying the surgery.

I'm well aware that the robot is controlled by a human, and I don't think anything in my comment indicates I wasn't.
> but vast majority of acting is not finding new ways to show something in a script, the creativity came from the writing and directing choices.

I'm sorry, but you have clearly never worked in film and television, and certainly never in casting. Because your impression of acting is simply wrong.

Casting offices will audition literally hundreds of actors to find the one who can bring the right unique take to the role, that no other actor can. There are TV shows and plays that simply don't get made because they can't find an actor who can play the part with the needed charm and magnetism for the specific role. I'm not talking Oscars, I'm talking bread-and-butter network comedies and procedurals.

People watch shows and movies for the story/script, but they also watch them for the unique spark and charisma that the actors bring just as much. AI is not replicating that in the "very near future", not even close.

Is American practice in this regard radically different to Europe?
I think my employer is a bit unique. They don't have a lot of the problems that other companies have with long hours and asshole managers. I've gotten great reviews and bonuses for years and I've been promoted a number of times. Most of my value is in just making decisions for a bunch of indecisive people and having a deeper understanding of most things. They have pretty high turnover because no one cares about what the company does (lending), they aren't the highest paying employer for average employees, and the work isn't exciting. They put a lot more effort into retaining a small number of us.
the trouble with big tech for the USA is that everyone else (at least in europe) is unable to compete as long as these companies are able to be so large they squeeze out (or buy out) all possible competition.

Similar to how it's difficult to go to war with countries that supply you energy (like.. Germany's recent tough time with Russia): USA being in this position means they dictate the rules of the internet and internet companies. This is an amazing position politically because they are the de facto owners of the economy for the next century.

Windows is mandatory at work and Edge is making life ever more annoying. It is setup as the default browser, the personalizations (don't show me your crappy news, background, or helpful links...) always come back, and simple things like "set new tabs to be a blank page" aren't allowed. Not looking forward to Windows 11 when presumably everything will get ever worse.

What's bizarre is that the employer is outwardly very security conscious and surfing random websites is a route to dismissal. Yet the porous and intrusive Edge is allowed to run amok. Of course, extensions to minimize the suck aren't permitted, either.

It's interesting to me. This is the first I read about Da Vinci and its capabilities in surgery.
It was pretty weird, I am 100% sure it was inspired by real conversations the author had. In general everyone needs to justify their behavior to themselves at least. I've heard people blatantly ripping people off say things like "if I don't take their money someone else will", just usually these are not things they put on their website.
Institute a carbon takes and those kinds of technologies may find an application for things like aviation fuels even at their existing pricing, after which you might see enough economies of scale to get the price down.

But you might not. That kind of technology is highly questionable thermodynamically. You're going to burn coal for energy and then turn the CO2 back into fuel for somehow less energy? Good luck with that. Just leave the coal in the ground where you found it.

The most promising thing in that ballpark is biofuels, but they compete with food production for farmland. Which could plausibly work for aviation but isn't likely to scale to transportation in general, much less production of electricity.
It would be trivially easy to remove the field from the website, but it is probably there for a reason, people do change their names, and may in some cases have a changed licence number so they are covering some edge cases.
I uninstalled Edge after all the news stories about it transmitting every website you visit to Microsoft.
Good? It’s going to have a chilling effect.

The adware isn't just Edge, Windows in general has gotten out of control. The other day I spent a few minutes on high alert because I got a notification about a "Grand Prize Giveaway". I assumed I somehow had malware, but no, the only malware I had was Windows itself [0].

What is a "true" technology breakthrough compared to a "not true" technology breakthrough?
Yes. I attended community college 5 years ago. Notebooks were common, but not required. The lab computers were ubiquitous. There was a difference between students in my IT major vs. general ed. The latter tended to only bring a smartphone to class, with eBooks loaded. Me with my notebook, an outlier.

While it was possible to do college with no smartphone, it was painful, and so I think that students who realized that they were mandatory really just preferred to simplify, less to recharge, less weight, less theft.
I'm also not American, like most of the world =)
There problem is if there’s any more politically powerful force than “the children” it’s “the farmers,” despite the fact almost all farming is done by large corporations exploiting migrant labor and blasting the earth with chemicals to induce low quality substances that resemble vegetables and grains but lack almost all the nutrition. If we stopped today it would take a generation to make the soil independently viable again.
For sure. Us FD (and some police) have what we call “knox box keys” - knox is a brand. They’re locked in the apparatus, and with a pin code or radio signal I can get them unlocked and then from there unlock a little box on a building. That contains the buildings master keys.

Anyway - if apparatus contained corporate keys (fobs, fido, physical, whatever) that allow a FD member to drive the car - I can 100% see that being part of a scene SOP/G. Tell the probie “get the key, move that AV out of the way.”

Or bull bars on my tanker will make it happen..
I'm so bored of the "Do not Reinvent the Wheel" line.

Why? I want it to be my wheel, what is wrong with reinventing the wheel?

Inventing creates innovation and innovation sparks creativity and that's what programming is all about; creating. So if you don't your stuck with someone's else invention, that's no fun. Why should I use their invention and not mine?

If it makes the spec, what's the issue?

This is a great sample of "truth [being] stranger than fiction". Can verify many of the examples from memory. Most memorable: the Encarta Encyclopedia CD-ROM illustration/splash screen.
Your argument has the form of: "We have to do something. This is something, therefore we have to do this."

You've failed to establish automated driving as a safer alternative, let alone the best practical solution. The fact that these cars can't even move out of the way of emergency vehicles proves they aren't ready for testing on the public now.

> requires real-world deployment experience.

Not at this stage it doesn't. They haven't exhausted the utility of simulated training and training on closed courses. They're testing on the public (human experimentation without informed consent) because it's cheaper and they can get away with it, not because they must.

> You are no longer assigning blame for a real incident. You are theorizing about the potential damage that AI drivers can cause in similar situations.

I am! Because I think that's a useful thing to do.

> But once you do that, you also have to consider the tradeoffs between human and AI drivers and all the deaths that human drivers cause.

Also yes—and one factor right now is that we have a robust EMS system designed to respond to medical emergencies, including road accidents. If the near-future tradeoff is that robotaxis (1) coexist alongside human-piloted cars, rather than replacing them outright, which means road accidents will continue to happen, and (2) robotaxis hinder ambulances from reaching humans in need, including (but not limited to) humans who were struck by cars piloted by other humans, I think that's a poor tradeoff.

If it were possible to jump past the messy middle part and immediately get to the "all cars are autopiloted, except ambulances, which aren't hindered by autopiloted vehicles in any way," then of course that sounds great! But it's precisely the messy middle part that worries me.

For better or worse, human drivers aren't going away anytime soon. And you rightfully point out that human drivers are prone to accidents. Which is all the more reason that EMS services are critical in the near-term.

(But also, counterfactually speaking, it is absolutely the robotaxi's fault that the person died. Had the ambulance been unhindered, they would have had a chance at life after receiving proper medical care; since the ambulance was hindered, they didn't get that care and died as a result.)
If a company offers better pricing to one market, it must make these offers accessible to everybody, regardless of nationality or country of residence. Apple don't let you buy apple.ie (Ireland) and ship to France.

Any exceptions have to be objectively justified, such as postage pricing. Definitely doesn't justify huge differences.

Companies have long flouted these rules, so they were recently tightened up.
I quit a job way long ago for very similar reasons. I cared about raising the level of the people around me. I wanted the junior folks to get credit and advance in their career. This meant my work was not readily visible.
