> Where they differ is that Ethernet was designed to a be a local network, whereas the Internet is designed to be an internetwork.

Then your criticism of the first three OSI layers is merely that they should be named "point-to-point", "local", and "inter".

I can agree with that criticism. But I can't agree with needing 239 pages to convey it.
Every time I see this I can't believe how amazing it is.

With every law that is as... vague.. as this, I always ask myself one question: "If the Nazis would rise to power, how badly could they abuse it by doing only slight changes to how it's interpreted?"

Here the answer is: Pretty bad

Your laws don't have to survive a well meaning democratic government. They have to survive one that is cunning, evil and tries to actively abolish the Rule of Law and democracy.

This is a bad law.
Why does the embeddings have linear properties such that you can use functions like cosine similarity to compare? It seems that after the signal going through so many non-linear activation layers, the linear properties should have been broken down / no guarantees.

I wasn't able to find a good answer online.
So why are we talking about moses putting 2 of every animal on the face of the earth on an ark? Why is it being taught to tons of good Christians all over the world?

Let's face it. The story of moses, in terms of the actuality of what happened? Utter bullshit. Just because everyone teaches it and talks about it, doesn't make it not bullshit.

You know what I mean by shitty or bullshit. You just disagree. You're just saying, in your opinion, it's not bullshit, but you absolutely know what I mean here.

Your opinion is valid.

I'm just saying that ubiquity does not prevent something from being bullshit.

Something that is being talked about everywhere and all the time does not prevent that something from being bullshit.

So you may believe that OSI is NOT bullshit. But your reasoning would be invalid if the two above points are the starting axioms of your logic.
I wish we citizens of countries in the EU would stop bending over backward to apologize and explain away these undemocratic institutions. "Oh but don't worry those unelected officials can't pass laws, just propose them." "Oh but actually this other body is directly elected unlike these other folks." "Oh it's actually democratic because we voted those other folks in who elected them in."

Like c'mon folks. It sucks. It's really bad. We should do something about it and stop falling all over ourselves to explain how it's not that bad. You don't think the actual lawmakers are listening to their advice? Of course they are. They elected those proposers.

This weird defense we keep rallying to is tiresome. It's ok to criticize the EU. It's really not a paradise in any sense of the word and many, many of its constituent countries look far less democratic than the US.
It didn't fit any better in 1999 than it does now and it wasn't a good teaching tool because it didn't match reality at all but was presented as if it did. Definitely caused more confusion than learning.
The reason for this is the expansion of the TSA (or airport security body). When you have a very small number of people/devices, you just let people in. When you have a large apparatus, you make use of it. And the large apparatus will try to find work for itself by stopping as many people as humanly possible. They'll also stop the most normal people out-there because they tend to make less of a fuss about it.

Recently, I flew SFO and they seemed to have a shortage of TSA officers or something (all security booths were empty). There were a couple old guys, they just randomly selected people for screening but everyone else were just let go without baggage screening.
but if waimo is opting out of difficult days, leaving the human to pick up that part, it will severely bias the safety comparisons because then of course humans will have more crash per mile

then any 'same period comparison' are destined to just measure this first-pick bias. they are going to need to compare with the driver data from the period before waymo introduction (while accounting for other constraints, so excluding rides on freeway, etc)
Interesting. Big push to legalize lately but maybe not so fast. Psychedelics can cause dangerous behavior. There is a reason they have been illegal in most jurisdictions.
If we're talking about Uber without self-driving, then the vast majority of costs are outside of Uber's hands. Even if they get their servers, payment processing, and customer support down to $0, it only helps the business model a mild amount.

On the other hand Waymo is paying enormous amounts to design systems and outfit their cars, and when that gets significantly cheaper the entire service gets significantly cheaper to provide. If they get those costs down then they're simply buying and running cars, which is much better than needing cars and drivers.

One of the easiest tools in this regard is just a “test” that blocks merging if the request is n commits behind master—just enforcing a rebase whenever you update a pull request. Combine with forbidding fast forward merges for pull requests (just let the code review tool generate a merge commit) and your `git log --graph` becomes much mor bounded in terms of how bad it can get.
Layer 4 is the lowest layer of the OSI model that isn't packet-based (i.e. can handle messages of arbitrary size).

IMHO that's the highest layer of the OSI model that is useful. After that it's various ways of tunnelling streams inside of streams.
In Phoenix, the waymo drive on the freeway around the city, and given the number of crashes I see in that city I have few doubt that Waymo cars are safer.
The goal here is not to see who is the best under imaginary conditions, it's to determine whether driverless cars are safe in real life as currently deployed. The question you're asking is irrelevant because a world in which all humans don't drink, text or have anger issues is not real.
Ubuntu on a regular desktop, with the exception of sleep and resume, is a similar level of polish to a console. Good enough to change my mind about ditching Linux.

If they hadn't gone with Arch, I wonder where they would be? I could imagine some other company doing an Ubuntu console. Maybe they could even convince Canonical to open up the Snap backend a bit and let them do their own servers, of they could just implement their own from scratch.

I read a book once where one of the setting elements was the idea of spam filters combined with shared blacklists taken a few more logical steps.

Everyone had embedded AR right in their heads, and it was possible to basically edit someone entirely out of your reality.

People could and did subscribe to shared blocklists just like we already do for say ublock origin, and some lists were essentially defaults that practically everyone used, so anyone in one of those lists was invisible to essentially everyone.

And people got into these lists merely for being annoying or disliked for any reason, not necessarily for any actual wrongdoing.

Enemies of any sort like business or political rivals could get anyone they didn't like erased just by getting a few other people to decide they don't like them. Often the most correct people are the least liked by everyone else, because they say things no one else wants to hear.

And of course that's exactly what happens in the story. Someone knows about an impending disaster, it might have been aliens or AIs or currently in-power leaders corroborating with both of those, whatever it was, it was real and the protagonists knew about it, and could not tell anyone about it, because everyone had voluntarily given themselves this handicap.

I don't know what to tell you about the less dangerous normal limited sorts of filtering we have now. Obviously filtering out an individual on HN would harm no one, not even them. It would still not be actually dangerous even if there were popularity contest shared blocklists and they got filtered by everyone on HN, since it would still just be HN.

But every time I hear the idea of filtering out people rather than spam or ads or malware etc, but people, regardless of what they might say, I think it is a self-inflicted maiming like having no pain receptors.

There is something going on where this idea seems good because right now we can't actually do it very much, but what about next week when we can do it way way more effectively? If it's not still a good idea then, then I think that must mean it's not a good idea period.

There are people I would filter too. I'm not claiming to be any better. I just think there is a problem that needs to be thougt about.
For the 80% during peak rush hour? Just based on spatial efficiency that pricing doesn't seem attainable.

I suspect that humanity changed because of the increase of knowledge. You need to 'have' power to learn to deal with it.
You need to set up alternatives or you're destroying lives and they'll drive anyway.
It will be past 2060. Chances are, by then, the mainstream won't care. Do you still care about Little Nemo, Yellow Kid, the Spirit...? The few names from Golden age strips that you actually care about (Flash Gordon, Tarzan...) had already been exploited well before the time IP expiration entered the picture.

The mainstream has a very short memory.
To the folks particularly in US obsessed about driverless cars, why don't you instead focus on public transport, which is by default "driverless" for millions of people if you ignore a couple of metro/train drivers per 1000s of people.

The point of a driverless car, from what I understand, is having end-to-end connectivity without the need to drive which is pain.

I live in a place where public transport already has last mile connectivity and I walk the rest of the way. Never owned a car and never plan to.
Impressive tool, amazing speed. What is the business model behind the company?
I am struck by the fact that you can be publicly disgraced while your accusers remain anonymous, and remain such (and I bet suffer no consequence) even after their accusations against you are proven false or irrelevant.

I don't know the details, but when 8 separate individuals accuse you, all without cause, it's hard to believe it's a coincidence.

Is there a way to compile a python CLI script, and it’s dependencies and python itself into an executable.

That makes the tool nicer to use. To me a CLI tool should stand alone ideally. Obviously that is not the trend as many things that are CLI are installed via node or npm.

He gives me a full-wattage beam as if to dazzle me off this road of questioning that's a great, masterful line. What a wonderful line! :)
Besides, Humans != TheWorld. This planet is going to spin even if we--arguably the biggest issue this planet ever had--are gone. There is this old joke. Two planets meet and have a chat. "So, how are you?" "Well, not good." "Why?" "I have homosapien!" "Don't worry, this will pass."

So, no worries, the world is not going to end.

And if humans manage to ruin their living conditions so badly that we end up dying out, evolution has just made another important step. After all, it is not like we deserve to survive.
When I lived in Sydney I had a few friends that frequently bought Rikodeine (dihydrocodeine cough syrup), which is also meant to be tracked via pharmacists recording IDs. My friends knew what pharmacies didn't bother to track it, normally if you were a 'repeat' customer and knew the pharmacist. They were able to buy 10~ bottles in a day from 8 - 10 pharmacies, repeating every few days. This was also in Sydney's central cbd so there's a pharmacy every other block.

I assume the situation is similar with pseudoephedrine, though the drug class/restrictions may be different.
What possible purpose could learning more about a hunk of random crystal and some electrodes have? Oh, that seems to have some interesting properties after all.

And on and on and so forth. Breakthroughs and just general advances in science look like crackpot ideas or wastes of time until they aren’t. Fundamental research is almost always a good thing, no matter how out there or wildly impractical it may seem.

I too am a sucker for a pithy quote.

Alas it couldn’t be more wrong.

Computer science is about computers and how to program them. It is an engineering discipline, not a science.
Not quite the same application, but in computer vision and visual SLAM algorithms (to construct a map of your surrounding using a camera) embeddings have become a de-facto method to perform place-recognition ! And it's very similar to this article. It is called "bag-of-word place recognition" and it really became the standard, used by absolutely every open-source library nowadays.

The core idea is that each image is passed through a feature-extractor-descriptor pipeline and is 'embedded' in a vector containing the N top features. While the camera moves, a database of images (called keyframes) is created (images are stored as much-lower dimensional vectors). Again while the camera moves, all images are used to query the database, something like cosine-similarity is used to retrieve the best match from the vector database. If a match happened, a stereo-constraints can be computed betweeen the query image and the match, and the software is able to update the map.

Using bit torrent to do partial downloads is nice but it will not remove deleted or renamed files. Over the years, specially if you update each release, you will end up with lots of files that shouldn't be there. You can of course have some kind of script that checks file lists for each set and delete anything not in there.

97% (5 perfect). I don't know either. My guess is that most people are pretty good at judging what the half of something looks like. I feel like if the movement (on my phone anyway) wasn't as jerky/sticky I would have gotten one more perfect. I definitely had one that was very inaccurate (55/45) though.

Lol, I got the America/Australia one perfect too! That surprised me!

One thing I liked about the book was it emphasised the conceptual difference between 'interface' and 'implementation'. "Interface" is "what you need to know to use the module".

Some module is "complex" if you need to know more than the interface suggests in order to use that module (e.g. you have to know implementation details); or if the interface requires irrelevant details.

> Their insurance company isn't an unbiased source.

The insurance company would like to keep Waymo as a customer, but only if the rates are accurate. If they give Waymo an incorrect discount, they lose piles of money.
Maybe one day, Mojo
Sure.

But honestly, you have to have enough money to be able to lose your job to do that. It isn't always possible for you to miss work. All it takes to have bad attendance is a strict policy and a child that needs numerous doctor appointments. Or low pay and no paid time off when you can't get to work.

It is easy to resist pressure when you are talking a fun night out, but not so easy when the outcome could be utilities shutting off, less food, and so on.
> Also consider that taking on strenuous exercise when you haven't done it in a while is going to cause elevated heart rates, beyond what your previous normal heart rate was during that exercise. Regular exercise will also eventually lower your resting heart rate. I think "starting a new strenuous exercise regimen" (because yes, after a year's break, that counts as "new") would also be unsurprisingly linked to elevated heart rates, even resting.

Yes, that was my first thought too while reading the comment. A lower heartrate during exercise and resting is a strong fitness indicator. And pausing your exercises for a year significantly reduces your fitness. Of course you will see elevated heart rates.
>so I’m not sure how types of vehicles is relevant for the comparison.

Surely "car with ABS and good tires" vs "car without ABS and with bald tires" makes a difference. And presumably waymo operates exclusively the former while some people drive the latter.
Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth though?

Petty little things like political ramifications have a funny way of not being so petty,by definition 51% of people in a democracy can decide they will not be stopped from driving.
People have down voted the parent comment but I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was the tone, but it caused a series of informative explanations that may not have arisen without this post.
True, but with only two arms, I think LIGO is somewhat directional, is it not?

Stronger signals from some black holes depending on which way they're oriented relative to the arms. And if there were many different simultaneous signals, some could mask the others.

Clearly, we need a 3-armed, space-based LIGO. Or better, a dozen of them.
It is surprising if all the infrastructure wasn't connected by unjammable wired comms?

Also, I wondered if anyone paraglides over the US borders where another hi-tech fence is under construction. I couldn't find any, but found that it had happened in 2022 between Morocco and Spain's North African enclave of Melilla https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/migrant-paraglides-over...

Hm, I feel it's more-complicated somehow, I mean sometimes companies try for a kind of strategic naivete when they want to "accidentally" accomplish certain things.

"Oh, we had no idea that would happen, how sad, too late to change, can't blame us for not knowing, we had pure and innocent intentions."

Maybe the distinction is who believes them naive, where the important part (for the executive) is whether the board of directors and/or investors can be convinced it is all part of a masterful plan of deniability.
Your argument is so terrible it's hard to understand how someone can actually believe that. Is your main concern really who is to blame for an accident, rather than how to avoid such accidents more effectively in the first place??? OMG please try to change your mindset, what a horrible way to approach this problem.
