Ish.

There's clearly a logistics problem here. 1-meal being delivered promptly on time scales poorly. But 15 meals delivered to 15 different people within 45 minutes is in fact, a net gain.

Alas, Doordash and Uber have gone about it in all the wrong ways. Its the drivers who double-book this process (ie: picking up more orders than they can handle), leading to inconsistent quality, cold food, late deliveries and more.

Its a legitimate model though. A more "proper" company that's doing this officially is Foodsby, where one Restaraunt makes a single delivery to 15-ish people in one trip at a designated time and location (usually within 5 minutes walking distance of an office complex. IE: One particular office building has a Foodsby drop-off point).

Everyone pays $2 each, the driver is happy, the restaraunt is happy (their personal staff deliver and therefore ensure quality food / hot food at the appropriate, predesignated time), and a ~5 minute walk for a bunch of office workers is a good idea anyway cause we're all sitting on our asses all day.

---------

It double-benefits because professional chefs like doing ~15 or 20 of the same order all at once, its more efficient for them... especially if they can plan such an order ahead of time (Foodsby isn't offered every day for a Restaraunt, they pick-and-choose the days that they'll offer the service).

So the chefs can cut-down on scheduling if they're burning out, or they can plan ahead and offer more days if they know some days are lulls / they have extra freetime.

Doordash / Grubhub / Uber is almost malicious for everyone involved. There's some ideas of convenience to some people, but its not good enough for the overall environment. In contrast, Foodsby (and hopefully more companies that adopt that model) has proven itself sustainable, at least in my area.

My first commercial embedded design used a 6809. That was also the last time I ever saw one used in the embedded space! As fun as the 68HC09 was, the 68HC05 and 68HC11 were better choices.
Kubernetes feels like Javascript has reached the sysadmins, new updates, libraries, build tools every week.

It's mainly good for keeping high paid people employed, not keeping your servers stable.

I ran a cluster 1.5 years in production, took me so much energy. Especially that one night where digital ocean managed cluster forced an update that crashed all servers; and there was no sane way to fix it.

I'm back to stability with old school VPS; it just works. Every now and then you run a few patches. Simple & fast deploys; what a blessing.
I thought the question was more along the lines of, "why do these things that happen during sleep require us to be asleep and not just happen all the time?"
Most forward looking decisions are probabilistic and require irreversible expenditure of resources with real risk of failure. Intelligence doesn’t solve that limitation, real or artificial.

DoorDash is being misleading when they imply that NYC required a minimum wage of $29.93/hr for delivery workers. DoorDash could comply with the bylaw by paying its contractors $17.96/hr for the full time they work (including time waiting for orders). But DoorDash instead chose to use the "Alternate Method" which has a 67% higher minimum wage, but only for the time the contractor is actively delivering food (not standby time). (full text of bylaw: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/newyorkcity/latest/NYC...)

The implication that Dashers earn 2x more per hour than "other workers" earning minimum wage is false, since "other workers" are paid for 100% of the time they work, including when they are waiting for work.

Agreed. I dont think im alone in feeling like the future world wont be something i want to live in at all. The future and present seems so incredibly dark to me.

The purpose of Capitalism is to extract as much profit as possible. If we attended to "worker safety" (and extend it from "putting railings around the meat grinders" to "setting office hours that don't slowly give seated workers metabolic disorders"), Capital extraction would halt! Think of the shareholders!
I don't need to know about convolution to tell you what a Gaussian is; it's just e^(-x^2). You can look at a grayscale image with a single bright point pixel (like a star in the sky) and say it's "sharp", and an image with a gaussian and say it's a "blur" or a blob. That's just a qualitative description of what a point or a gaussian look like. Then, as I described, you can define convolution by saying you're replacing each point pixel with an image that is your blur with its brightness weighted by the point pixel and located at that pixel, and then add them all up.

That intuition also works fine in the time domain, where your signal is "blurred" at each instant by the impulse response.

But yeah more generally, all you get is that (f*g)(c) is the sum over all a (**) b=c f(a)g(b), where (**) is... some operation.

I guess ultimately my point is that looking at g(t-tau) and seeing -tau as "flip the signal" and t as "move to the desired time" seems absolutely bizarre to me. g(t-tau) is g(t), centered at tau. So f(tau)g(t-tau) is g(t), centered at tau, weighted by f(tau). Then sum over all tau. I can never see where the flip comes in; it seems backwards to me. Nor can I see how this flipping thing would intuitively arise in physical systems. Obviously they're equivalent, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

You can also prefer to not like subtitles, and watch films dubbed from their original language.

You can also prefer to not like black & white films, and watch the colorized versions done decades later.

You can also prefer not to see nudity, violence, or profanity, and watch the edited-for-TV versions of those films.

Finally you can prefer a totally different story or shot composition or artistic choices altogether, and ask Generative AI to recreate, reedit, or augment scenes to your preference.

All of these are valid preferences and we have the technology to facilitate them for you.

But 1) They should never be the default on any technology you acquire. That's the PRIMARY sin of all of the technologies mentioned by OP - it's not that they exist, it's that they're on by default, and since most humans never change the default settings on ANYTHING they change, they experience content in a way that as not intended by the original artist behind the vision.

And 2) Well, this is subjective, and everything is a spectrum. But you are ultimately robbing yourself of the specific experience intended for you by the creator of the film. It's certainly within your right not to care and think that you know better than them, but on a spectrum of that philosophy, carried out across all of society, it's probably not a good thing.
> Is there any trade where people actually use appropriate safety precautions?

Have you actually worked in construction or the trades? When I look at the construction/trade workers around me in Canada, the US, and the EU, hardhats, safety glasses, safety shoes, and (where applicable) fall arrest harnesses are all commonly used and used correctly. I've also done construction and trade/engineering-related work myself 10+ years ago, and using all the relevant safety equipment was mandatory and nearly 100% enforced. It didn't take much effort from management to get to close to 100% usage either, as people I worked with generally accepted that the safety measures were worthwhile.

Re: the specific issue mentioned in this article, I've been around a bunch of pottery studios in the past, and every single one of them strictly enforced measures to avoid silicosis. (namely, almost all operations were done with dustless wet clay, and at the end of the day all traces of clay were cleaned up before they could dry, essentially every single time)
You don't need Kubernetes for over-the-air updates. Kubernetes is also not suitable for that. It scales up alright, but not down. As TA expounds, there are simply too many moving parts that require expertise to operate. And that's fine. Not every software has to be able to accommodate all use cases.
My mind is blown. I didn't think -anyone- could possibly like motion interpolation for watching movies. I hate it so, so much. I'm trying to understand your POV.

Blast from the past from my days in the academia.

Ok thanks for sharing.

(I still disagree about everything you said about Julia though. I bet you I could re-implement this faster in Julia thank your C++, and in a type generic way too which would make it trivial for users to plug in their types, and it would be trivial to package - I'm assuming you didn't package that repo, you just expect your users to be shuffling files around. You're not contributing to improving the reproducibility situation in the academia, let me tell you xD)
Monetizing everything in the tech sector makes doing anything in the sphere a chore, and furthers the decline of innovation at the largest levels due to the incisiveness need to appease shareholders, or corporate suit jockeys.

>The son of a co-founder of the nationally renowned Buc-ee’s convenience store was arrested Tuesday in Travis County and faces 28 separate state jail felony charges of invasive visual recordings. A woman reported she and a few friends were visiting the lake house with Mitchell Wasek when one friend, who works cybersecurity for the Department of Defense, noticed a charging port with a hidden camera plugged into the wall of their bathroom, court records state. The group of friends left with the camera and on its micro-card found dozens of videos of themselves and other people in bathrooms and bedrooms at the lake house as well as at Mitchell Wasek’s Dallas apartment, according to court records.

Another story reports...

>Amazon records linked purchases of a half-dozen spy cameras and hidden cameras to Mitchell Wasek, the affidavit says.
That explains a few things.

Right? Maybe at this point it's mostly historical inertia and they've converged to similar UIs, but the mental brand people have for these companies is very different.

eBay is buying from Some Guy. AliExpress is buying from a sketchy unlicensed and unregulated warehouse in China. Amazon is a store. These are the reputations they cultivated for themselves.

> I've often felt we need an abstraction for just this. "Bring your own storage"

I made exactly this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash The public API enables programmatical access to S3, SFTP, FTP, GIT, WebDav, Samba, Local FS, NFS, Backblaze, Storj, Artifactory, .... and more. Under the hood, each storage implements this interface:

type IBackend interface {
Ls(path string) ([]os.FileInfo, error)
Cat(path string) (io.ReadCloser, error)
Mkdir(path string) error
Rm(path string) error
Mv(from string, to string) error
Save(path string, file io.Reader) error
Touch(path string) error
}

There's some hook so you can define your own and do even more funky stuff like virtual FS wich compose onto anything you want/need. There's a bunch of weird implementation like the mysql storage, which represent first level folders as databases, second level folders as tables and files as the actual rows.

As someone with a wife in the business, I would taper your expectations. I don't doubt many are smart, but personality wise, they're incredibly lacking.

It is annoying. I prefer the ones where you click, you are taken to a page and you are fully subscribed. No login required to do so.
Indeed. Personally I think it's somewhat perverse how a huge machine operating at a loss can redistribute so much wealth though, to the top, no less. That was sort of my point.

Like, I could have an easier time accepting Spotify losing money if it actually enriched the masses that produce the majority of its content, but we all know that's not what it is doing.
Another neat idea is to connect all “smart” equipment to an isolated vlan and separate wifi that can still be seen by your normal network devices.

For example if your wifi was called “Home”, an additional “Home-IoT” is for every device.

The IoT devices can then be set to not sniff your network, or even connect out if you want.

A good example of this is in this EdgeRouter setup guide, which is a pretty decent guide on how to plan a home network for more than just basic home browsing.

The wild thing is, Amazon’s first-party offerings generally stand out well by itself! They don’t need to trick people with Marketplace junk. They could completely drop the marketplace and still be, IMO, the most useful shopping subscription.

I can get my weekly groceries, soap, toilet paper, a TV, and socks with a handful of clicks. On my doorstep. The same day I click. No driving to a store, no walking around, just grab off my doorstep. This is the entire reason I find Amazon worth it (even a steal!). I don’t care for millions and millions of items, of which many are duplicitous clones.

This marketplace trend has been completely ridiculous and I hope Amazon (among others!) are found to be just as responsible for what’s sold. A lot of electronics I’ve seen are dodgy at best, but very clearly dangerous at their worst. If there’s a problem, just spin up a new nonsense “brand name” to mask the problems of the former one.

This marketplace trend has completely turned me off from other websites. Target and Walmart’s websites are immensely frustrating. I haven’t used Newegg in ages.
No idea why this is removed from the frontpage, it's kind of an important aspect of how self-driving cars are tested in the US. If you rely mostly on self-reporting by the companies testing them for oversight, a company not reporting the crucial part of an accident that shows that the car did not behave properly is a huge deal.

Trying to get out of the way does make sense after a minor accident. Doing so after hitting a person is clearly dangerous as shown by this incident, and self-driving cars likely should not attempt it at all.
It wouldn't be either, really. The smartest people I've worked with are usually not engineers at all. I started my career working on classified defense and intelligence projects and the research scientists driving new capabilities are still the only people I've ever encountered in any line of work doing things that I legitimately felt it would take me a decade to understand. Think for instance of everything Claude Shannon did while he was at Bell Labs.

Of the two, though, obviously larger companies are more likely to even be able to fund truly novel research compared to a startup. There's only so much you can do under the constraint that anything you build has to be a component of a usable product you can plausibly sell to a defined market in the next six months.
That’s great if you have control over all the moving parts, but a lot of real-world (i.e. not exclusively software-based) orgs have interfaces to components and external entities that aren’t so amenable to change. Maybe you can upgrade your cluster without anybody noticing. Maybe you’re a wizard and upgrades never go wrong for you.

More likely, you will be constrained by a patchwork quilt of contracts with customers and suppliers, or by regulatory and statutory requirements, or technology risk policies, and to get approval you’ll need to schedule end-to-end testing with a bunch of stakeholders whose incentives aren’t necessarily aligned to yours.

That all adds up to $$$, and that’s why there’s a demand for stability and LTS editions.
Yep. A lot of older kitchen appliances ran on 4-bit microcontrollers for cost reasons.
In your kneejerk attempt to sneak in a zinger about how bad capitalism is, you failed to realize in examples given, mitigation tools are either provided by the employer (eg. hand truck ) and/or costs a trivial amount (eg. earplugs, which cost like 10 cents each).

I don't think your first first statement is supported. Right now one party wants to:

Remove the SEC, the FBI, defund the IRS and the DOJ. And a member of congress is refusing to appoint any leaders of our military. Ostensibly due to a disagreement over abortion, but many believe it is retaliation for the military refusing to support an attempted coup a few years ago. Also there is discrediting all trust in voting and democracy itself after losing a national election (even though the administration's own Attorney General could find no meaningful evidence supporting it following his own nationwide investigation). And then there is the meme of the deep state, namely shorthand than anyone who is a civil servant and not a political appointee is not to be trusted. And I'll stop there as anything else start to get pretty political.

Are there items where the left is against trust in society? Absolutory. You called out a few (specifically the police), and the makeup of the courts. As well as you left out forms of de facto power the left typically opposes like board rooms and lending (vs de jure power listed above).

But to say that both sides/parties are against trust in American society in my opinion is either a false argument, or tunnel vision in news sources.

There is still no comparison between the two and the level of distrust in all aspects of society the right has been consistently seeding into broader society.
