If this means I stop getting woken up by idiots doing donuts in their motorcycles and Dodge Challengers and I’m less likely to be killed similar to the roughly half of all traffic deaths caused by drunk drivers, I’m not sure the cons outweigh the pros.

Driving is a licensed privilege anyway. You aren’t even allowed to drive at all unless you pass a written and physical test to prove your road-worthiness. There is no second amendment for driving. Your freedom to drive aggressively or drunk doesn’t outweigh everyone else’s physical safety.

It’s more unfortunate that the United States is built around driving where most people can’t get around and cover their basic needs without the ability to drive a personal vehicle.

I think the article is interpreting the law as a bunch of cops in the surveillance center monitoring us when what it’s asking automakers to do is make a basic feature that disables the car if it can’t detect an alert driver, just like how today’s driver assist systems disable themselves if they see you dozing off or not touching the wheel.

In my opinion, the vagueness of the language in the law is there for the benefit of automakers. As written, a carmaker that disables a vehicle after 20 minutes without detection of a hand on the steering wheel would be in compliance.
Please let's not taint this thread as well with that nonsense.
Perhaps this is an area where the model is divergent from reality?

I understanding you're straw manning me, and know what I mean when I say that making it harder to start companies hurts competition, which is bad, but also:

Those organisations all use things made/done by private companies extensively. Ultimately, even a state-funded organisation picking a new employee (a private entity) is a competitive process.

People were dissatisfied with the fact the country could not control immigration from the EU. That's how it was and trying to understand those concerns rather than mocking them might have avoided Brexit in the same way as that might prevent hard-line parties from winning across Europe.

A couple of observations: Blazor plays well with any back-end technology, not just a .NET server-side. That should be a no-brainer for developers, but its an assurance that non-devs need.
Secondly, performance issues apart, JS-interop is really easy to pull off. That is good news for the non-puritan, pragmatic programmer. We understand that it will take a while before Blazor libraries catch up to the large number of options available for Angular and React. Until then, Blazor + JS-interop is a great solution that covers all scenarios in the vast majority of cases.

For the last year, amongst other things, we have been building a high-performance online trading platform using Blazor, Spring Boot and GCP. No insurmountable issues so far!

This strongly depends. Some post-surgery physiotherapy at least is quite painful, and it's necessary to push through it to get the best results. Not always, of course, and your physiotherapist should be aware of what their exercises should feel like.
Privacy and safety exist in tension, and it seems like there is a possibility that this law is helpful.

I have a right to travel, but no right to travel recklessly. Just like automated speed cameras, an in-car detection system could help reduce drunk driving and other kinds of reckless driving.

As long as 42,000 Americans per year die in crashes and alcohol is the #1 contributing factor, I think we should think creatively as a society about how to fix that.

I welcome a law which helps save lives - including the lives of drunk drivers - by detecting and limiting impairment at a vehicle level. There is no way law enforcement will ever be able to catch all instances of drunk driving without help and no way people will stop drunk driving in the first place. It’s time for some new policy.

Very few people get paid during this market anomaly. Most people have fixed rate contracts, and the few that do have variable rates, even fewer have ones where the negative price would be passed on to you.

Transmission cost and taxes will still be present, so this is more of a "hey it's going to be a societally good thing to go to the sauna today instead of tomorrow, consider it!"

I’m not discounting the difficulty at all, but at Apple’s scale they need a lot more reliability than what I’d require for my own hacky little modem. From what I’ve read, a big part of Apple’s issues are size and heat, which would be less of an issue as a stand-alone device, as miniaturization is less important.

Eh what? That's definitely not allowed in most of the world. Other than that many of these are just you are allowed to pay other to do stuff for you, which is more a question of wealth than about if one dares to do it. The thing about treating fines like payment is peak clueless upper-middle-class-plus to me.
But do all cars need and have to process any fucking data locally. I don't want that shit. I wanna drive a car not a computer

Having said that, there are arguments to be made for a standard that uses heuristics to detect impaired driving for sure. Its harder to make the case if theres like a homomorphic data situation going on where your car can 1) use data and processi locally to detect potential impaired driving, 2) it stipulates loss of function in terms of abillity to further drive (pulls you over) in exchange for eliminating the potentialitt for crime, damage, and criminal chsrging process.

Its a goddamn loss of time, energy, and life to still have this problem. A car should not need to necessarily measure your BAC as evinced by breath to detect you're driving like a maniac and maybe it should pull over, lock, and contact assistance to the extent the law allows for you to be pulled aside and deal with a simple ticket/instant fine, no need for due process (instant feedback + administrative approach to offences).

The criminal aspect is bullshit because yes its a fucked up thing but people who are impaired are not thinking clearly or able to consent to committing a criminal act in th same way they can't consent to something as simple and hands-off (no pun intended) as being sexually fucked and still be considered to have had the agency to have been lawfully able to consent to that in the first place.

It really makes zero sense:
1) simple thing: receiving sexual intercourse
2) complex thing: driving car

You can do both these things drunk but your only assumed to have lacked agency in #1. Makes no sense to me, you're almost guranteed to fuck (up) your car [car non-consensually] if not yourself as the end result lol

EDIT: i'd appreciate if any lawyer or legal person or someone you know could critique this rationale and discuss how/why it is or isnt cogent and elaborate on the extent to which it could even be theoretically implemented, even [GASP?!] if it costs us all a lil bit of money/taxes/legislation to get us to that point in legal dtae of affairs
It requires an extreme level of selective amnesia to make McDonald's the operations standard for anyone. Try "the ice cream machine is broken today" on your next I.T. contract and see how far that gets you.

But to the author's point, I remember checking out a book from 1980 on software engineering from a highly well-known author (I forget who). I was shocked to read the author state unsarcastically that software development labor would be fully itemized in a standard catalogue like auto mechanic by the year 2000.
Seems like he actually disagrees here:

If you train a bigger model on more text, we have a lot of confidence that the next-word prediction task will improve. So algorithmic progress is not necessary, it's a very nice bonus, but we can sort of get more powerful models for free, because we can just get a bigger computer, which we can say with some confidence we're going to get, and just train a bigger model for longer, and we are very confident we are going to get a better result.

It seems YOU don't understand what monopoly means.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/monopoly

> exclusive ownership through legal privilege, command of supply, or concerted action
> exclusive possession or control

You seem to be under the impression that only one type of monopoly exists (IE: Android exists so Apple doesn't have a monopoly).

But do you realize that that's no the only thing that can be monopolized?

So again... on the iPhone platform? who has "exclusive possession or control" over apps on the iPhone?

In general you can view "understanding" as a compression of information. You take in a bunch of information, detect an underlying pattern, and remember the pattern and necessary context, instead of the entire input.

The "problem" with larger neural networks is that they can store more information, so they can substitute understanding with memorization. Something similar happens with human students, who can stuff lots of raw information into short-term-memory, but to fit it into the much more precious long-term-memory you have to "understand" the topic, not just memorize it. In neural networks we call that memorization a failure to generalize. Just like a human, a network that just memorizes doesn't do well if you ask it about anything slightly different than the training data.

Of course it's a balance act, because a network that's too small doesn't have space to store enough "understanding" and world model. A lot of the original premise of OpenAI was to figure out if LLMs keep getting better if you make them bigger, and so far that has worked. But there is bound to be a ceiling on this, where making the model bigger starts making it dumber.

Sounds a bit like it's tending towards the behaviour of grid cells. Rather than encoding a specific, unique place, grid cells light up periodically in the latent space they encode, with different grid cells having different periods and different latent spaces. A given combination of grid cells uniquely identifies a thing/space/concept/location/datapoint/... token?

Of course for any given location this wraps around with a period of the least common multiple between the grid cells' periods (I think? Had to ask Bing about that one, he was helpful for once). This is why if you try to map locations you get a hypertorus.

They get what is known as an "Occupational License". As parent noted for almost all of the US if you don't have a car you cannot participate in the economy. You can't get anywhere to work and you can't get anywhere to shop. You can't get healthcare. You basically can't do anything.

Drunk driving penalties in almost all states include a minimum six-month license suspension. However, if that were universal it would completely destroy lives and have massive downstream effects. The Occupational License is an (on paper) license solely limited to driving between specifically classified types of places - work, church, healthcare, basic shopping, school, some stuff for your children, etc. Not only is it not a license to drive drunk, many of them have the added condition that the vehicle needs an "ignition interlock" device (paid for by the driver) that requires a breath sample before the car will move. Many of them also have functionality where you need to periodically blow into it while driving before the device shuts the engine down.

Of course enforcement here is an issue. Many people drive with completely suspended/revoked licenses, no insurance, etc and get away with it everyday. However, many police departments deploy either stationary ALPRs (automatic license plate readers) or have them installed on police vehicles. They're creepy but amazing - I was on a "ride along" with the police once and we'd be driving down the road at 45 mph. It would sound an alarm and have a synthesized voice that says something like "Florida license XYZ - suspended". The cop would just turn the car around and pull the person over.
When people talk about pushing through the pain, they aren’t talking about injury, that would be insane, they are talking about the burn in your muscles from when you’re getting close to failure. If you’re training for muscle growth, this is something you need to get comfortable with doing.
This response is for all people who replied to my GP comment, not only for this one: thanks for sharing your experiences! I'm too in the camp of "15 mins a month" (even less) so I always assumed my struggles with GIMP were caused by mere lack of experience. It's enlightening to see that people consider some design decisions "objectively" bad.

I guess all this means that maybe GIMP should really focus on getting help with this. TBH I'd just try to copy Adobe here. They can and I'm sure have spent thousands just to have people thinking about the best placement for tools and widgets. All that can be leveraged by a FOSS tool and advantage from some of the well thought out decisions made by Adobe's professional designers.
Since no one knows what's the source, here's a dumb question: we are unable to detect dark matter, right? Is it possible that the Local Void isn't actually void, just contains a lot of dark matter?

Add on question: can dark matter emit high-energy particles?
Well, you could implement an LPM trie that focusses on FQDN labels; for example. Which would greatly reduce the memory usage compared to what AdGuard Home does currently with their per-rulelist-slices.

If you represent LPM tries as JSON and order them by alphabet, you'll get even benefits of gzip on HDD to save lots of space. Just a suggestion and how I would implement it with an eBPF module, not meant as a critic.

I would hate to have to rely on society to provide services like that. Chances are nobody except the top political brass ever gets their bio-heart.

Thankfully, society in its majestic equality allows all people to establish or invest into startups. Total addressable market at $1M/month is much smaller than at $1k/month, which is still much smaller than at $100/month.

Assuming the expenses are low enough to still give the company a healthy and IMHO fair 20-50% profit margin at $1k/month or $100/month, it'd be dumb to price it at $1M/month. There would be thousands if not millions of companies offering this service - and a race to the bottom of the pricing.

Think about cars - companies are competing on lower prices and better features of these complex machines. There are many models for different kinds of buyers - not just a single option at $1M/month that'd allow the rich to move around.
As someone else has said, the article should say "faster than the speed of light in air".

The Guardian article says:

> Some charged particles in the air shower travel faster than the speed of light, producing a type of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by specialised instruments.

> One such instrument is the Telescope Array observatory in Utah, which found the Amaterasu particle.

The Telescope Array actually has two different types of instrument for detecting the particles. Fluorescence Telescopes and Scintillation Detectors.

According to the paper the "fluorescence detectors were not operating at the time (owing to bright moonlight)". Instead the particles were detected by the plastic scintillator surface detectors.

I have found more information about the surface detectors here: http://www.telescopearray.org/index.php/about/surface-detect...

I appreciate your perspective and understand where you're coming from. Indeed, macOS does offer a feature to require password immediately after the screen saver begins, which I find useful and have enabled.

However, I was motivated to do this work due to specific challenges I faced:

1. Keystroke Sensitivity: Accidental keystrokes interpreted as password attempts can be inconvenient, particularly the frustration of dealing with invalid password messages and unintended inputs in the password field.

2. Automatic Unlocking: My Apple Watch automatically unlocks my device, which is generally convenient. However, this feature can be counterproductive when cleaning my keyboard, as it leads to repeated unlocking. Although disabling this feature temporarily is an option, it disrupts my preferred workflow.

So I did this to allow hassle-free cleaning without altering existing security settings or device behaviours. It may seem redundant, but I think it offers some value for those with specific preferences or in unique situations. And the project was a quick (yet fulfilling) endeavour during my coffee-time break enhancing my workflow, so I shared it hoping it might assist others with similar needs as well. Therefore, considering the little time it took from me and its helpfulness for very personal case at least, I don't think it was a waste of time, but I value your point of view and appreciate your feedback. Cheers!
> Let's Fermi estimate that.

I couldn't agree more. Fermi estimates are underused.

> Multiply that together, and you end up with 1.8e17 bytes, or 180 petabytes of data.

And for comparison, GPT-4 is estimated by Bill Dally (NVIDIA) at around 10^12 or 10^13 tokens [1]. Let's assume about 1 word per token and 5 characters per word. Furthermore, US-ASCII tokens requires one byte per character in UTF-8. So, that gives about 50 terabyte [Edited after comment below].

As a side note, I would guess that GPT-4 knows more "things" if you would be able to count them all up. For example, it knows more languages, more facts about cities, more facts about persons. However, people know way more inside their specialization.
