I agree with you that the "phychotic" phenomenon you describe exists, and it is sometimes called the growth mindset.

But there seems to exist another phenomenon that is described in the book The Mindset, where the term originates, which is quite different.

Let's take some examples from partner dancing which I am very familiar with.

In some dance cultures, it is customary for the leader to try to maximize the area on the dance floor that is occupied (or "owned") by the couple. This is done, so you can dance more freely, do whatever you please. Such leaders may use many methods, such as intimidation and even physical force to push "weaker" leaders away from the area they consider their own.

There are other dance cultures, where the leaders try to co-operate. For them, the area on the dance floor is shared. I feel where the other leaders are going, in a way I dance with the other leaders as well. We will try to harmonize our movements so that we can all share the area. The leaders who are able to effectively use the space are highly valued in such cultures. Beginners are given a little bit more slack, of course, but at the same time, non-cooperating leaders may be pushed out by the co-operating leaders.

I once participated in an Argentine tango dance event (called a milonga) in Buenos Aires, which was for locals only. Many milongas are filled with tourists, so the locals try to keep the tourists out from certain events they consider their own.

I was invited to the event by a friend, a follower, who knows many locals and so is accepted member of that event. But even knowing my friend did not give me any slack, but my co-operation was put into a rough test from the beginning.

Many leaders intentionally surrounded me on the dance floor, and pressured me from all sides. As I am quite experienced in dancing in small spaces, I did not hesitate and was able to continue my dancing and keep co-operating with the other leaders although they were putting me into this test. After I had passed this test, I was accepted, and the testing stopped.

I have also been invited into events where one key requirement to even get allowed to apply is that the organisers know your dancing, and they especially need to know that you will co-operate. These are lovely events, because the level of co-operation is very high.

I think one key part of the real growth mindset is co-operation. You give up on fighting for some resource (in this case, the area you occupy on the dance floor), and you will gain something more valuable -- co-operation with the peers -- and through this co-operation you will have enough of the resource you need -- in this case you will always have enough space for your dancing.

Another part of the real growth mindset appears to be the attitude of anti-fragility. If I accept the challenge of trying to learn to dance without aggressively trying to occupy space -- even though I would be skilled enough to do it -- that pressure will eventually teach me to become an even better dancer. It is not easy, however, it may take years of persistent effort to overcome this hurdle. But without this pressure I would have never learned.
because it isn’t consistent with speed and safety. there is no need to have opinions on this, there are statistics and comparisons made with any other country and they are 100% not if favour of no speed limit, easy. it’s simply a lobbying issue by car makers in Germany and that’s all there is to it.
It's not just a "growth" mindset; it's "this quarter's growth" mindset. Short-term goals that give short-term results while making long-term results predictably worse. Not a problem for a particular executive: they will move on to work on something else, and are not going to be hurt by the fallout.

But if this strategy underperforms as badly as we as customers feel it does, it will eventually drive its perpetrators from the market. If they think that their positions are unassailable, let them remember how the unassailable GMC and Ford felt in 2000s.
while this comment is true, not sure what it has to do with the article.

from my understanding tesla is actually suing the state because there’s a law saying license plates can only be delivered via post. and the postal workers refuse to deliver anything to tesla (which seems a bit crazy considering there are laws about using the postal services).

but maybe i misunderstood something, so someone can correct me if i’m wrong.
I think the key difference is that Germany doesn't have an excessive or unusual number of traffic deaths[1]. I personally (as a German) do not support a speed limit and worry that there could be second order effects that they don't keep in mind. But I don't hold a strong opinion as I drive 3-5 times a year in Germany.

Some of those things could be embedded nicely into OpenCV, though. Without me having to learn about all the underlying concepts, finetune a model and learn how to deploy it on various devices. OpenCV is a wrapper around lots of common image functionality, and it could be extended to cover modern deep learning approaches.
3 Chapter 1:st paragraph in the law concering postal delivery in sweden.

Postnord has an obligation to deliver mail.

Interesting to see what will rank higher in court. The postal law or the right to strikes.
Again, if my prediction is "every scientific advance will happen" then I can claim prescience by claiming every scientific advance is evidence of my great insight. That hardly makes me insightful.

I'm writing him off because he isn't a practitioner. I can make things up about what will or won't happen on my own, as can anyone else.

If I want to believe every wacky concept from science fiction will happen, I don't need a middleman to tell me it will.
Oh ok that time they restricted movement didn't count, yeah ok.

The gaslighting about something that was barely 3 years ago that we all saw happen is getting wild.

You are either German are never driven a German autobahn. Cars racing at 200kmh+ just 30cm or so from you is not fun anywhere.
I own my S60 since it was brand new in 2001. Manual shifter. Currently I'm at roughly 9l/100km. 210km/h is doable.
Earlier today someone wrote that there are only 500 people on the Internet, since 2002...

I was reminded of this late April fools joke from metafilter in (it turns out) 2001, where the very popular site just displayed this message, implying that everything was artificially generated text, except for a few unwitting human participants... Including, presumably, the reader of the message.
70% of germans are in favour of it.
In this thread: Germans that argue that a universal Autobahn speed limit is bad because driving 250km/h "is fun" and that's why we should not change it.
Self-hosted coding and XR development with Quest 3
Unlike previous GUI platforms there's no reason we should need to cross-compile to XR devices given the capabilities of the VisioPro and Quest 3. This is literally the first demo of a multi-window dev environment building an XR scene in XR using the Quest 3 (because I don't have a Vision Pro to play with).
Costly in terms of eventually being forced to choose between allowing unionization and leaving the nordic market entirely.

It's something that just about every other big anti-union American company have had to deal with and it's in the past always led to the American company basically surrendering and allowed unionization usually without any major loss of profit/revenue, apart from the money wasted fighting the strong and very popular Scandinavian trade unions.
But aren't the "IT sovereignty" projects mostly about adopting OSS solutions?
The sympathy strike is legal. The unions have no obligation to ensure number plate delivery.
Downside is you have to email the documents you want to print to Brother (the company).

Think about that before you email anything you want to keep private.
Ha, fair point. I don't know where it went.
Same thing with school supplies. You get a piece of paper that tells you everything you need for the year. Even 2nd grader needs a box of crayons. How many colors, which brand? What if one parent buys a name brand another buys Walmart brand? How about all the time I need to spend to order it, make sure it's the right one? Thank goodness for Walmart...I can deliver from store w/o fighting all the back to school parents.

Well - now the free market has figured it out! There's a private company who will buy everything for you on the list and deliver it to your classroom.

Welcome to America.
Even taken at face value such pipelines often still rely on OpenCV for I/O, data cleaning and preprocessing.

There is a case to be made for a feature film titled "Napoleon and Josephine", and Ridley Scott would be the last director out there you'd want directing it. He doesn't really direct actors, he's too busy arranging the extras. If an actor performs well in a Ridley Scott film, it is independent of any influence by Ridley himself.

Ridley, however, is handily the most experienced director of epic battle scenes currently working. And so you expect epic battle sequences, and you would expect epic battle sequences from the point of view of a master strategist named Napoleon.

Unfortunately the battles were borderline incoherent. Every second shot had 3 dozen extras going "rabble rabble rabble", but it meant little. The $200 million dollar budget mostly made it onto the screen, but it didn't come together as a drama, or a spectacle, or an engaging characterization of an historical figure. It's certainly not the film high school history teachers will be showing their students.

If you're going to see the film and are naive to the events of Napoleon's life, read at least the wiki before you go in, because Ridley doesn't do a whole lot to explain or contextualize anything for you.

The one upside to having seen the film is that I'm now more curious about Napoleon and the Napoleonic wars, it's an area of history I've only glanced over in the past.

I use nginx for that. I would like to see more software that provides the option to listen to unix sockets. Most still won't work with unix sockets. Some prometheus exporters at least support systemd socket units.
It's certainly the one that stuck with me.

For many years I had white background so I could really see things.

Now with floaters I have to use dark background and many games are now unusable as they have light background and medium unreadable text and strain my eyes.
Yes, it is really important piece of software. I use them time to time. I donated to them.
there excesses but it is great to drive your own velocity. I feel comfortable at 150km/h other drivers with sportier cars drive safe at 180 km/h
OpenCV and "AI" can work well together; see YOLO: https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/
The point is that the law explicitly permits the postal union to do this. Tesla's suit is probably going nowhere.
tbh, that's how a lot of apps do it, and it's wrong. The "Up" button in the navigation bar should always bring you to the hierarchically higher point in the app's own nav graph, while the back button in the device's navigation bar at the bottom should always bring you to the historically previous page.

Any app that does something other than that is wrong and should not have been approved.

Let me add to this, they're also not possible to use without a serverside component. Using them for a calendar should be possible without a server, you should be able to just schedule a web notification locally. But you can't, you can only subscribe to a server.

I agree with this, Google made a system that's only good for spam, refuses to fix it or expand on it, and as a result everyone hates it.
AIUI -- not looked into this deeply yet -- no. Source access, so you could see it, possibly -- but not take it and use it: you weren't allowed to modify it or distribute modifications or anything.
Clearly performative IMO. The likely outcome is that the 100-odd employees Tesla have in Sweden are transferred to some other organization (with a union agreement) and Tesla proper just does not do business directly in Sweden.
Honestly, even non-game apps. I was looking for a white noise generator to use with a Bluetooth speaker recently and was appalled at several of the top picks in that category having subscriptions— and not just any subscription, but like $5-10/mo. For some looping sound files.

I ended up going with Noisli; it may not have all the features, but it's at least simple and straightforward and had a modest one time fee to unlock all functionality.
it could though a couple of months after house burns down and you are kinda busy these two months and making a new onsite copy is not the main priority.
It is not lobbying, people just do not want to get rid of it. I do not want it to be abolished. I do not want to be bound to a 130km/h speed limit if there is not much traffic. We are in 2023, cars have to go to inspection every 2 years in Germany, a driver's license is 3500€. I want something back for all that effort and money.

Stop interfering with other people's life. Noone prevents you from driving 130km/h or taking the train.
> and the postal workers refuse to deliver anything to tesla (which seems a bit crazy considering there are laws about using the postal services).

It's not crazy when you understand the Swedish model: labour laws are minimal, setting just a very basic framework which is then taken to employers + employees negotiations to set the other terms of employment for an industry, in that it's a pretty free labour market. The counterpoint is that it's required that employers and employees collaborate to set the minimum arrangements for employment.

Tesla is refusing to abide by this model, in the Swedish model sympathy strikes are legal since that's one way that employees from other industries can support other workers in their struggles, the employees of PostNord decided to take sympathy action against Tesla for what they consider an attack to the whole model of employment and labour in the nation.

What is crazy is a company trying to subjugate a whole nation's system of employment for their own benefit, for that Tesla is being collectively punished by workers in other industries for trying to undermine the labour market as a whole.
What about them?

Do they see the federal government of the United States also as an anti-democratic bureaucracy?

Do they see their own government as anti-democratic?

And if not why do they see the existing EU as different?

Do they understand how EU representatives are chosen?

Do they follow EU parliamentary proceedings and do they understand how EU law interacts with local law?

All of those are important questions and usually the more people answer 'yes' to the above the bigger the chance that they see the EU as a net positive.
Genuine question - are folks finding success with all these sort of superlative marketing terms?

If I were Musk, I'd just shut down the whole operation in Sweden. It is not like the country is particularily big.

That doesn't mean it matters from a political perspective. In democracies small but vocal and determined minorities matter a lot vs just people having opinions but no strong voting actions.

But I have to share the same street at my usual 120 max speed I am used to.

I can just say for me German autobahn with its rasers and semi hidden police vehicles around every other corner is always a scary experience. I honestly felt more safe in Bangkok on a scooter than some of these public racing tracks near Munich.
> Since most industrial software is in C and C++ an example would be more convincing.

Agreed- do you have any to back up your original claim?

> > doing anything the compiler can’t trivially optimize

> What does compiler optimization have to do with libraries?

One of the most common reasons to use a library is because it has optimizations you want to use. For example, performance-sensitive programs link against OpenSSL even if they’re just using a couple of hash functions because the SHA-256 function you copied into your codebase won’t have their assembly backend or use of processor intrinsics. Repeat for string searches, pattern matching, all kinds of math, etc. where people have written libraries with pricessor-specific assembly, SIMD intrinsics, etc.

> Plenty of C and C++ programs are multi threading using a system api like pthreads.

Yes - and the long history of bugs related to that is why many stayed single-threaded because it was more work than the author had time for to make the code thread-safe. Rust’s “fearless concurrency” talk isn’t just marketing but a reaction by people with a lot of experience in the area realizing just how much more they used concurrency when it was easy to do correctly rather than infamously hard.

Younger generations really have it bad with how the market treats them as customers. I highly doubt they experience same level of joy as previous generations using gameboys and similar devices did.

I honestly feel majority of the games at that time were made by people genuinely in love with games and stories, whereas now, it's mostly opportunistic cash grabbing incentive. Not saying nice and well done games don't exist, but it is hard for casual young player to come in touch with them
No, you got it quite right I think. The government agency in question has a deal with Postnord (owned mainly by the Swedish state) to utilise them for all mail services. License plates has to be sent by mail. Postnord employees refuses to do so to Tesla. I believe they've also said they'd refuse to hand them out to Tesla should they come asking for them. In effect, not legal way for Tesla to sell cars in Sweden at this point.
My memory may be failing me, but it feels like “rarely supported” is a bit of an exaggeration. It was mostly a handful of consumer printer companies that were hell-bent on supporting nothing but Windows… I think Lexmark might’ve been one of them?

Any of the printer companies that made high end professional printers used by print designers, photographers, etc usually had Mac drivers for their entire printer lineup because Macs had a huge presence in world of desktop publishing, graphics design, and photography from most of latter half of the 80s all the way up through the 2000s.
> preset clothing types, for example, rather than cycle settings

My LG washing machine has a wifi connection and one of the advertised feature was the possibility to download a custom washing program set from the app.

I thought it kinda makes sense, because building a custom program involves many steps, timers and settings. A mobile UI would be better than the appliance's buttons.

Well, imagine my deception when I got to try the app and the custom programs is just a list of a dozen more niche presets. No customization whatsoever.

It's really like the machines we buy are no longer ours to control.
Not printers, but my TV is starting to give up the ghost, and I fully expect I'll be paying extra to ensure its not connected to the internet.
The most interesting comment and there is absolutely nobody commenting on it. :(
It's unclear though? There are also laws regarding mail services I believe.
Yup, not aware of any US company that would have exited nordics because of unions. Nordics are politically very integrated societies and large scale actors are all perceived to ”play on the same side” including unions etc. So Tesla is not just taking on the unions, they are challenging the entire social contract by proxy.
Absolutely monster analogy.

After working for a year in 3DSMax, back in the day, someone asked me to show them something in Lightwave. I couldn't find my way about anything.

There is also a far far bigger difference between IDEs than between browsers even if compare only the big names. Compare Visual Studio, IntelliJ and Eclipse.

All the browsers are same.
They were all the same for 10 years. Single window or MDI. Then Opera came with tabs, then everyone got tabs. That's it.

Basically, if we accept the notion that it's hard for someone to switch from Chrome to Firefox we accept the notion that it's hard to move anyone from any ecosystem just on the grounds of them not wanting to touch their muscle memory even a bit. You get to the same option in three to four clicks through different menues. Is it that hard?
I did similar trips through Germany when I was just old enough to drive. One time I was driving 200 in the left lane and a truck changed lanes just in front of me, because the driver didn't expect me to drive this fast.

I had to do an emergency break maneuver and almost crashed into the truck. Only then it dawned on me that driving this much faster than the other vehicles is very dangerous. To me it is completely nuts that this is allowed. If you want to drive fast, you can always drive on race tracks...

I rarely went over 130kmh since then, nowadays I mostly cruise at 100-110kmh, because it is the ecological sweet spot of my car and in general it's less stressful.
I wonder if there's some benefits of reinitialising completely the final layers and then training with the new data. At least for image processing it's common to use a common backbone trained on everything, and then put a final layer or two of task-specific training on top.
