Interesting, the guy is 3 years younger than me, and I'm too young to have worked through the minicomputer era. I very briefly had a job where I had to do some account administration that involved a VMS machine among others, in 98, and that's it. I do find those machines and VMS very interesting, so I can understand the enthusiasm. In any case, it's interesting to see people deep dive into these topics who don't have a nostalgic past association with them.
> you can’t block the experience

That doesn’t sound right. I think interstitial are permitted by the law, I don’t think it actually says anything about “the experience.”

> to force consent

The vast majority of website will work after clicking No, so that’s not forced. Only rarely I see “accept cookie or subscribe” banners.

I’m not even sure that this is not allowed either; user is technically forced to accept either because the “close tab” button is always available.
I always thought the branding for that product was terrible and embarassing. I even renamed my binary to "HackLikeADork" on my Mac when I needed to use it. I cringed when I thought that someone of the opposite sex might glance at my screen and see that I was trying to be a "CodeWarrior".
sure, but now you’re comparing apples to potatoes.
The solution for too much traffic is well known and independent of robotaxis.

"Road Pricing" means that vehicles pay for driving on congested roads. The price is set so that road supply and demand match, and traffic flows optimally. It also gives the road owner an income for providing important roads.

> 1. You most likely can't. You typically need to prove to a numbering authority that you need that many IPs (minimum /24) for X reason and you will be multihomed (connected to two+ ISPs) by Y date.

If you're asking for a minimum sized range, you don't have to justify more than one ip. It's not super hard to find somewhere where you can be multihomed either, although it's unlikely to be at your home. (Maybe ask isn't exactly the right verb, assuming ARIN/RIPE are out of addresses, you're asking for them to process a transfer that you paid/will pay the current responsible party for)

That is not so much an argument for more devices as for devices that perform their functions well. Many ‘multifunction’ devices don’t. They’re often horribly compromised, especially if they rely on mechanical functions.
This sounds like an extension of performance lint rules which many languages/ecosystems already have.

The original ride-sharing concept that they claimed was The Thing they were doing definitely had congestion-reduction as an expected benefit, if not the main point.

Whether accidentally or on purpose, they turned into a jitney cab company instead, which does not provide that benefit.
I was pleasantly surprised.

Minnesota is so bizarrely, irrationally wrong on that one. That poor kid needs an adult to sit her down and explain why sending out nude pics as a minor is a really bad idea, not to label her as a sex offender. Now, if someone (especially an adult) received those pics and shared them, go ahead and charge that person.

> You have some misconfiguration on your local network

I’m sure I do. But that’s sort of the point. I only use standard commercial hardware with the default config.

If that doesn’t work out of the box, what chance does someone who doesn't have my decades of networking experience have in fixing it?

Granted I’m probably more sensitive than most because I know what network issues look like. Most people probably just think some things are slow sometimes.

My ultimate point though is that this is probably a barrier to adoption.
You are completely right... we need to improve that!

We are planning to add more languages there once the SDKs are fully ready... stay tuned :)
I think the point was artificial scarcity to increase local government revenues and to gain political support from taxi unions which are often very powerful.

If the true purpose was to limit traffic, why would it be limited to taxis?
It’s almost as if robotaxis are solving the problem in a way that they can make money off of, not trying to be an actual solution.

Why would investors do that?

Oh right.

Robotaxis are just an attempt to do Uber without having to pay drivers. They’re not an attempt at fixing congestion. Or safety (though I’m sure they claim it). Or bad public transit.

They’re aiming for the local maxima. “Fix” taxis/Uber as they exist today and make money doing it.

Similar technology could make self driving busses to provide more/adaptive routes.

Nah.
Not sure about arm, different ISA is a pain.

But the base configuration, for the money, is pretty sad compared to what you get else where. Scaling up is horrendously expensive compared to other providers.

Why would you bother with AWS for this I don't even know. There is no draw to AWS if you are only using EC2. You couple your architecture to their specialized services and go all in and eat the platform risk, and long term cost.

Or... don't even bother with AWS. It makes no sense to use just EC2.

Intro algorithms courses discuss how much of computers advancement isn’t just raw speed but how we solve problems. Many problems had large inputs so if you have a shorty algorithm is really doesn’t matter if you have a 10x or even 1000x faster processor.

Which brings up the interesting question, if we didn’t keep adding complexity how flashy could we make old hardware? What things could we make it do that it never could in the day. Feels like this is one of those things?
> I can't comment on if they are claiming the current product is made in a scalable fashion or in a lab.

Seems pretty clear from TFA that unless WIRED are grossly misrepresenting facts, current product is made in a lab using roller bottles:

> WIRED sent a detailed list of questions to Upside based on our reporting. In an emailed statement, Chen, the company’s chief operating officer, claimed that our reporting contained a number of factual inaccuracies but did not directly address any of the points raised. Chen went on to say that Upside’s current process for producing chicken fillets was not one the company intends “to scale in its current form.”

> "All breakthrough innovations and transformative technologies, including scaling our cultivated meat products, will take time," Chen wrote in the emailed statement. "Cultivated meat is no exception. Not every research avenue, cultivator, or idea we explore will materialize exactly as we expected."
Uber Pool was so cheap it increased overall city travel: For every mile of personal driving it removed, it added 2.6 miles of people who otherwise would have taken another mode of transportation.

Seems logical. So, why not automate the bus system and automatically introduce routes where demand is? Such a system would ensure that people can quickly get where they are going, not add vehicles to the busy parts of the system, and achieve the benefits of shared transportation.
Deadheading at night doesn't create traffic, and if you don't do it, the rest of the network becomes worthless.
People want to move around. This is a fundamental fact.

And once they learn how much they can move, they are unwilling to move around less (or slower). This is something all the "get rid of cars" people ignore, and it's why it will never work.
You expect me to believe there are other places than where I live?!

Wouldn’t it be more reasonable for projects with few maintainers, or even run solo, to have the individuals who reported a bug to each spend 10-15 minutes to validate if the issue still exists instead of the sole maintainer having to spend days if not weeks to do the validation?

Especially considering that the reporter is likely better attuned to observing the bug if it’s a bit more fickle or complex than the maintainer who may or may not be able to reproduce it on their end to begin with?

This might shift a bit when there’s a bigger team involved or when it’s a companion project to a commercial service.

What I tend to see with many (F)OSS projects is that very few are willing to roll up their sleeves while simultaneously spending significant amount of time to make it known how essential the project is to them, making demands and giving copious suggestions.

The vast majority just create new issues to make their wishlist known and/or supply a very vague bug report.

A subset of them might bother to submit a decent bug report and that’s about the extent their willingness to contribute goes.

Personally I don’t have the character to maintain a project simply due to not having the will to handle most of the comments I often see in a diplomatic manner.

That said, I do always try to track down the cause of an issue and submit a PR to fix the issue I’m reporting in an effort to do my part.
That is an advantage of a FLOSS solution: if such a thing happens, we can fork it.

This is a water sandwich. As far as I'm concerned, Unity is pivoting to a door-in-the-face[0] strategy. Since it works on anchoring, the only counter to door-in-the-face is to treat the substitute offer more harshly than you would have otherwise. In other words, punish companies for being untrustworthy business partners.

I really hope game developers start demanding the following:

- Unity abandons all attempts to adopt a revenue share of any kind and funds itself solely on subscriptions to Unity[1].

- Unity poison-pills themselves such that if they attempt any additional significant change in business model, then all developers who have developed games on Unity are entitled to GPL source access to those versions of the Unity runtime. They can hold source code in escrow to be released should this poison pill trigger.

- Unity specifically fire John Riccitiello.

Choosing a game engine is a matter of trust in a particular development team. Unity has broken that trust, and as far as I can tell, that is specifically due to John's "gotcha" business tactics. Remember that quote from a decade ago about charging players a buck to reload? That's revealing of the mentality behind this business model change.

[0] Door-in-the-face refers to making a ridiculous offer intended to be rejected in order to make another offer seem less onerous in comparison.

[1] Yes I am aware this implies cancelling features. Given what people have said of Unity's development pipeline over the last half-decade, it sounds like most of those features weren't actually things Unity's customers wanted.
Unix time is by definition "seconds since Unix epoch."

It common to have other measurements, e.g. JS uses milliseconds since epoch.

The US Code is divided into numbered titles, sections, paragraphs and subparagraphs which can link to and incorporate each other by reference. This tree structure is reflected in typographic conventions which visually distinguish operative provisions from headings, indices and editorial notes. Isn't this the same kind of "structured format" as a code repository made up of libraries, modules, source files and functions?
Do you know how hard/tedious/pointless it is to write client side evaluations for everything you do on the server? The documentation for the Google Cloud provider is shit though and absolutely should be improved.

Does that ever actually happen? I've only heard of it happening to people who forced the AI's hand by including the comments for said code in the prompt.
They’re already doing that. They don’t want to pay for the parking on the robotaxis, or move them further away when not in use, so they just drive in circles taking up space and making traffic worse without even carrying anyone.

Who said having 90+ square feet of pavement to haul an average of around one person was a waste? Now we have the tech to average less than one!

Hey James - I appreciate your enthusiasm about this idea. I technically never stopped https://www.theninhotline.com, but after a few years, it was clear that social networks like Twitter and Facebook had taken over as our primary channel.

About two years ago, I decided to rebuild the site (partially to get some hands-on experience building a PWA) and have basically been doing a gut-job of the frontend. I removed tracking pixels, frameworks and other javascript cruft, and brought focus to the RSS feed again. I spent time building a library of website 'cover art' too, which I cycle in periodically - typically when I post a new update to the blog. There's a lot more cleaning to do, but I'm happy to be actively iterating on the ol' website again.

Oh, and my 'personal site' is https://www.bitrotten.com

I'm based in Philadelphia, but I've got a lot going on IRL compared to when I launched this site 24 years ago, and I don't think I could do a regular meetup. But keep on fighting the good fight!

Nah what you luddite. You seem more concerned about maintaining artificial jobs and stifling progress to “prevent people getting rich off of it”. Having a 100% automated driving system will fix traffic. It will be better for the environment. It will give us back more time in our day.
... and will your Android actually charge when you plug it into a charger?

I've had roughly five Android devices (tablets and phones) that had the curious problem that I'd plug them into a charger and it was always 50-50% if they would actually charge. This would happen when the devices were new and were starting from zero (often it would take several times to charge the device for the first time) and still happens when the devices are in regular use. All the time I leave one plugged into the charger over night and... nothing. Plug it into the same charger again and maybe it charges.

I've noticed the same problem w/ Sony devices both cameras and the PS Vita if they are used with non-Sony chargers.

Bingo!

Singapore has solved this extremely effectively. Note that the solution is not just on demand pricing but also having good transportation infrastructure that actually is usable and is a viable alternative.

Bay Area has addressed it to some degree but I would not call it solved by any means. They have dynamic pricing which ensure you can pay to go faster during peak times. This is mostly a solution for rich people who can afford the $15-20 tolls one way on 101 but in a pinch the common person may be able to use by paying money. However the US just has no decent public transportation infrastructure that can be relied on a daily basis to live your life normally due to legalized bribery (lobbying) by the by the car companies during the earlier years.
Sadly the robotaxis are already doing it. They circle around SF because it’s ‘free’ since they don’t have to pay for parking.

Taking up road space and causing traffic with no one inside because it’s cheaper to the companies even though it makes things worse for everyone else.

Even with Apple's "limited" HW, just on the iPhone it's like Sony releasing a new PlayStation every year. Add Mac in and it's like Sony's past decade in consoles every 12-18 months. Plus you add in the fact iOS users balk at paying $5 for a game, Mac gamers are a blip and Apple's penchant disregard for backwards compatibility and love to overcharge for storage and you really don't get a great recipe for gaming.
4090 has a higher power limit so it can clock the cores higher to make up for the difference. Unless you need more than 24GB working set in vram it will do just fine.
You might want to review all of the hype from when they were getting started. There was a ton of talk about how it’d transform cities not to need parking, which a lot of city leaders liked because it allowed them to suggest cuts to transit and bike funding in favor of something associated with richer people.

It didn’t work, of course, due to the inherent inefficiencies of cars and the challenge such an expensive service has: people don’t want to wait if they’re paying that much but that means you need empty vehicles constantly cruising around. Congestion pricing would help only if it included mileage and then only by making the service even more expensive so people would take the bus or bike instead.

Interesting read. Just to add, even HTTPS isn't completely safe from Man-in-the-Middle attacks, especially in corporate environments. A few points to consider:

- Some apps bypass or poorly implement certificate pinning.

- Companies using self-signed certs can be spoofed.

- There's always the risk of compromised Certificate Authorities.

- Corporate tools that inspect HTTPS traffic, while useful for security, can inadvertently become a vulnerability if misconfigured or hacked.

Always good to remember: HTTPS is a protective layer, but not an unbreakable barrier.
This isn't true. Set up even a simple ANN dense feed forward three layers you know the one. Then keep everything the same for two models you train with the exception of data order. You'll end up with two different models even though you started with the same weights, etc.
Forests are full of trees and trees tend to convert sunlight into wood, something that very little wildlife can eat. There's typically more food available to wildlife on pastures even when farmers try to fend off wildlife. For example, deforestation in Australia combined with a general reluctance of Australians to hunt brought about a kangaroo population explosion that requires government-mandated culls.
