My issue, as a driver, is that more and more pedestrians walk wherever and whenever they want with complete disregard for their environment. I’ve had to hit the brakes pretty hard on several occasions when I had “right of way” (right turn light, for example) and a pedestrian stepped off the curb with their face buried in their phone.

I see the fines for jaywalking as a function to encourage safety rather than criminalizing sensible behaviour (ie crossing a completely empty street probably won’t yield a fine but crossing a busy street while holding your arm out to stop traffic will, and should).
It's not a really a phone. they mention ambient computing.
Does anyone have a plan for avoiding it?
Most schools have one day a week with early release. That is not a feature of charter schools.

Additionally, kid’s are only as good as their parents can enable. Some parents see the schools as a babysitting service. Others see it as a reprieve from having their kids in the house.

If you have never been to a school to volunteer, go do it. You will see quite quickly that there are students who disrupt the classroom beyond teaching. The teacher must devolve the class to the lowest common denominator and thus the group suffers
When I think of 18 kids looking at their options in life and weighing how tf they're going to pay for college and is considering the military, I'm not imagining someone who casually reads the New York Times.
They are not "inherently safe". Reactors that produce power (in large quantities) are dangerous because fission products are radioactive, and they produce energy even after the chain reaction stops. So once cooling is lost, these fission products can melt through the reactor vessel and escape the confinement.

Also, accelerator-driven reactors are just bonkers. They make no freaking sense for power generation. They are being investigated because they can produce very energetic neutrons, in quantities that are large enough to transmute some long-lived nuclear waste.

Containers don't enforce that isolation. Another process can nsenter the container's PID namespace. You also have issues if your container's PID1 creates subprocesses.

File are not necessarily written to disk. e.g. the Secrets CSI Driver loads secrets directly from a secrets store as virtual files within ephemeral volumes.

I did not think it that way, I understand why it is confusing. Think of it this way you have 50 invocations every second, and you take half a second to process each one. Which means at any given time, on average you will have 25 instances of your lambda running. Which means if you set your PC to 25, you pretty much guarantee that every invocation is warm.

Remember that PC is nothing but total number of lambda instances that AWS keeps warm and ready to go.
I agree that there has been some enshitification (like awards, which I immediately turned off) but I like the activity feed.

If I follow a developer, it's because I'm interested in what they're working on, and often I'll be exposed to something new in a different language or solving a different problem that I haven't ever tried. I actually think its one of the cooler things that is fairly unique to github.

You are either a troll or a Russian which believes the propaganda.

In any case you kind sir seem to be full of shit. :)

You are spewing the kind of lies that are typical of Russian propaganda. It might work on some people but I don't think that it will work here. Too much cleverness in one place.

> even getting the basic networks and maybe some UHF channels was marginal

<clears old timer's throat>

In my day, we only had 3 networks and we liked it! You kids and your choices!

But seriously, it is fascinating how in ~20 years of HDTV we've gone so far away from a small collection of channels with nothing worth watching to nothing worth watching available everywhere 24/7. Giving people their own agency in creating content has not increased the PSNR levels in the great vs dreck.
$350/year for Sunday Ticket with YouTube TV included vs. $450/year for just Sunday Ticket, delivered via regular YouTube it seems.

YouTube TV is required—not included—with the $350/year plan.

So it's either $350/year + $73/month (with), or $450/year (without).

Assuming you only keep YouTube TV for the September-January football season, that's $715/season with YouTube TV, vs. $450/season without. If you don't get any value from YouTube TV (e.g. if you already have cable or satellite), it's cheaper without.

(Sunday Ticket doesn't show locally or nationally broadcast games such as Monday Night Football, so you kinda need access to broadcast TV alongside it.)

When DirecTV had the Sunday Ticket monopoly, you had to sign a two-year contract to be allowed to purchase it. At least with Google, you can cancel YouTube TV as soon as the season is over.

In my family's case, we weighed the cost against what we spent last football season on food + drinks at sports bars, and decided it was a better deal. ($715 over 18 weeks = $40/weekend. If we go out half as frequently, we come out ahead.)
> But for other things that are real-time or near real-time where network latency would be unacceptable, we're already there.

Agreed. Something else I wonder is if local AI in mobile devices might be better able to learn from its real-time interactions with the physical world than datacenter-based AI.

It's walking around in the world with a human with all its various sensors recording in real-time (unless disabled) - mic, camera, GPS/location, LiDAR, barometer, gyro, accelerometer, proximity, ambient light, etc. Then the human uses it to interact with the world too in various ways.

All that data can of course be quickly sent to a datacenter too, and integrated into the core system there, so maybe not. But I'm curious about this difference and wonder what advantages local AI might eventually confer.
I realised there is more time between now and that article, than there is between that article and the events described within.
2016 means you're talking about ST3, and 2039 means you're talking about Ballard [1]. It looks like the date in ST3 for Ballard was originally 2038 [2], so it doesn't seem delayed that much *yet*.

That said, I'm not sure large-scale transit projects are too comparable to electric infrastructure. The ST1 project had a lot of delays due to disagreements about where the rail line would go, and the cost of purchasing land [3]. It's a system designed to move people to places, so a lot of people have opinions on which places the system should go. By contrast, people mostly care that enough electricity is getting delivered to where they live, and don't really care how it gets there.

Again, the figures are coming from the IMF, who not only assess the figures independently, but also offer their own independent projections as well. And a weak currency is not an inherent problem. For net exporters it's a benefit. It means that right now Russia is getting more ruble for every ounce of oil they sell, yet the buyers aren't paying anymore for it. Win win for everybody. If those inflows don't create real problems, like inflation, then the low exchange rate is just driving wealth generation and economic growth. This is why export heavy places like China go out of their way to weaken their currency.

As for pariah, the main countries trying to "isolate" Russia are the US and the usual suspects. And "we" make up less than 15% of the world. It's why we carried out the equivalent of a nuclear economic attack with the sanctions, yet here we are, a year later, debating minutia when looking at the impact.
Of course. Russia needs to be isolated.

I'm just saying that it's _possible_ to construct reactors within reasonable timeframes. Russia and China can do that, so can other countries.
Of course I see the dilemma. To be honest I just care more about the students who want to succeed than the ones that don't. Every student deserves a high quality education, and that just isn't possible to provide when you're distracted by other students. I care about the other kids too, for ethical as well as utilitarian reason, and I do think we need to think hard about how they can be best served. But the status quo is not working, I don't think it's fair to continue to deprive underprivileged students of the opportunities they deserve.
The technological singularity actually occurs when the prosthetic hand gives a hand jibber unrecognizable from a real one.
Let’s assume there will be some % of kids that lack interest in learning, have no parental or community support, and despite schools providing them additional support for years they show no improvement or desire to improve. I think it’s reasonable some % of these people will always be in the population pool. What is the solution for these individuals?
> shouldn’t we do everything in our power to prevent it?

I'm more concerned about the original abuse. The pictures are obviously an issue as they create a market _for_ abuse, but if you're not targeting the original crime, I don't think you stand a chance of actually improving the world by destroying rights.

Your software will be impossible to search for because there is already a very popular and highly discussed software with the same name.
Yeah, this is along the lines of my comment. (Am a military brat, attended some DoD schools, also attended a school in FCPS.)

The educational rigor across different districts is massive. Many military kids get to sample from it a lot of times (possibly even with a bias for FCPS in particular!); other kids get to sample it ~once. There is probably some huge reversion to the mean at play here.

Have worked a long time in a company that does $5k referrals. Have referred 4, 2 successful so $10k. One of them landed in my lap so treated the money as guilt free "buy whatever I want" money. The other was a very good friend so set up the beer fund so I'll cover drinks until that runs dry.

However the most I've seen was a new grad. He's a lovely bloke, was head of all the societies at uni, knew everyone studying CS at a very good uni. In his first year he referred all his uni friends, think he got around 15 or so successful referrals in that first year. My friend in HR processing then said it was more than her salary.

It helps that it is a good company where you'd tell little to join even with no referral, but the incentive makes you seem it that little bit more
I am mentoring a 10yo student who desires to learn a computer science. I promised to borrow him a laptop for the sake of learning CS if he unlocks the password "abcd...z" without looking at the keyboard. Beforehand I demonstrated him my skill of touchtyping a full set of symbols using Dvorak in some keyboard training software, that inspired him because he believes he is going to type a lot of code. That ended up in acquiring a touchtyping skill in 6 hours of pure work divided in 4 sessions. The funny part is that English letters are not even a part of our mother language. The student confirmed that he feels a superiority of Dvorak layout as I do, despite of regularly using qwerty on a phone. Now he can to type in English significantly faster than to write on a paper which is not very good in my opinion (I could write faster in his age) but this skill and the laptop allows him to pass more hands-on tutorials than it was possible before my help.
One significant difference is the US constitutional assertion that "certain inalienable rights" (notably the freedom to speak) are "endowed by our creator". In practice, this places such rights outside the authority of governments.

In most other countries, rights are constructed and granted at the pleasure of the government currently in power.

It's easy to overlook this philosophical difference as pedantic, but the ramifications are profound.
That to me is the key point: measures of time are so intervowen with everything else, this would be an absolute nightmare to enact without seven years of fallout and random "bugs"
I wonder if this was made targeting enterprise. Microsoft shops that don't spend much time crunching what they're paying per user, or were already used to paying ~$1000. It's a safe choice cause it's made by Microsoft. IT is probably already in the swing of deploying Surface devices. No backlit keyboard because people are gonna be using it during the day in a lit office. Makes sense from that perspective.
Not sure I understand your comment, but generally you have to prove anti-competitiveness /beyond/ too cheap to beat (unless it is a proven loss-leader which, viz all big tech companies, seems very hard to prove)

The secrets aren't in a shared location. They're stored in an ephemeral volume specific to each container which other processes cannot access.
3-way switches are the best solution here. Switch the bedside lamp on from the main switch by the door, and then off again from a second switch at the bedside. Many stairways are like this: you can control the lights from the switches at the bottom or the top of the stairs.

Oh, smart device then.
True, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t complain.

My hope is that the upcoming eu rulings allow competition here. Ie force Apple to get out of the way of making their hardware better with better software.
Actually, discovered that site after building this! lol It did seem to be a good resource. However, there are certainly differences between Clippings and it. One big one being that Clippings is more narrowly focused on classifieds and not the web in general.

The bleeding obvious is that OpenAI is doing what most tech companies for the last 20 years have done. Offer the product for dirt cheap to kill off competition, then extract as much value from your users as possible by either mining data or hiking the price.

I don’t understand how people are surprised by this anymore.

So yeah, it’s the best option right now, when the company is burning through cash, but they’re planning on getting that money back from you eventually.
I think it's mostly the scale. Once you have a consistent user base and tons of GPUs, batching inference/training across your cluster allows you to process requests much faster and for a lower marginal cost.
So turn your camera on once when you pack your things for the flight. It can stay in sleep mode for at least a couple of weeks without draining the battery.

Honestly, I don't see a problem.
Speaking of getting old, I've set up a lot of home automation stuff for elderly folks who have to deal with limited mobility. Sometimes getting up and down a few extra times really is a big deal, if possible at all.

One of my clients carries an echo dot with a battery pack with her when she's in her back yard, gardening. She mostly uses it for music, but the ability to drop in/phone call if she falls an can't get up has been a real benefit to her peace of mind.

FYI for the interested, and I admit a data point of one, but tp-link's Kasa stuff have been the most reliable of the smart switches, plugs, and bulbs that I've tried. Never once had an unexpected desync with any of it.
Well, the "village idiot" was usually one not because he was born this way and his parents cared for him until adulthood, but because he got kicked by a horse/cow and survived, albeit with brain damage.

"No contract" in the telco world means no minimum length clauses (as opposed to something like a "12 month contract" plan, where you legally agree to stay on the plan for at least one year), it doesn't literally mean there isn't a contract.
Wow, it looks very comprehensive. Really nice work.
This looks nice, and I could see using it in some cases when I teach 3D functions, especially for complex functions that require more accuracy. But when introducing 3D it's often nicer to have graphs that showing gridding rather than smooth curves. For most purposes I'll probably stick to CalcPlot3D. It also has some nice features for showing points and vectors on a function, doing contour plots, and a nice surface of revolution visualization.

Where I live in the US, people simply do not stop at pedestrian crosswalks. It doesn’t matter that there’s a large fluorescent sign, and bold white stripes on the road, and a person waiting to cross. I’ve even had a police officer drive straight through while I was waiting to cross.

But it seems like they’re respected if you install large flashing lights that the pedestrian can activate.
I've already started teaching my son to call ICE cars "legacy cars" and EVs "normal cars."
Yep! Sorry to hear that but it certainly stands as a use case for this.
The premise of this is flawed. OpenAI is cheap because of has to be right now. They need to establish market dominance quickly, before competitors slide in. The winner of this horse race is not going to be the company with the best performing AI, it’s going to be the one who does the best job at creating an outstanding UX, ubiquitously presence, entrenching users, and building competitive moats that are not feature differentiated because at best even cutting edge features are only 6-12 months ahead of competition cloning or beating.

This is Uber/AirBnB/Wework/literally every VC subsidized hungry-hungry-hippos market grab all over again. If you’re falling in love because the prices are so low, that is ephemeral at best and is not a moat. Someone try calling an Uber in SF today and tell me how much that costs you and how much worse the experience is vs 2017.

OpenAI is the undisputed future of AI… for timescales 6 months and less. They are still extremely vulnerable to complete disruption and as likely to be the next MySpace as they are Facebook.
