Yes, e.g.

|less rich|more rich|
less educated | 25 | 2 | democrat
(60) | 25 | 8 | republican
--------------+---------+---------+-----------
more educated | 15 | 8 | democrat
(40) | 10 | 7 | republican
--------------+---------+---------+-----------
| 75 | 25 |

1. More educated people (40) are more often Democrats (23).

2. Richer people (25) are more often Republicans (15).

3. Richer people (25) tend to be more educated (15).
Depending on the circumstances the operating company, the maintainer company, the manufacturing company or the design company can be liable.

Why do you feel the helicopter being uncrewed makes this situation more complicated from a liability standpoint?
Steel corrodes away on much shorter time scales. Concrete also eventually breaks down due to repeated thermal cycling and weathering. Even if some steel or concrete survives it might be buried and difficult to find.

Dinosaur bones and trilobites don't last very long. What we find are fossils. Steel and concrete don't fossilize.
I adjust a thermostat regularly. 1C is way too large a swing, and I’ve stayed at hotels that offer half degree F adjustments.

Celsius doesn’t work well for human temperature. In America, air conditioning is common. Even poor people have air conditioning and often use it.
A particularly well-suited project is to make a (mech) keyboard.

It is good because the basics are simple, and you can "complicate" it in any dimension:

- Weird shape? Check
- Add a trackball? Check
- Crazy layout? Check
- Add a mini-lcd screen? Check
- Get nuts with actuation points? Check

It has a large and healthy community, and people are receptive to nuts ideas.

>We could get on a phone call and I you could read the key back to me

Length isn't the only problem. In theory, real-time voice MITM with an AI swap on the verification readback such that it matches the modified key is a real possibility these days (albeit remote).
Just think of all theories about the bags of mammalian feces left there.
> What senile, old, corrupt and/or stupid politicians decide isn't necessarily the rational choice, and in fact is often the opposite.

For example, these smirking German assholes, who I would have enjoyed seeing being interviewed last winter after Russia knocked the dumb smirks off their faces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfJv9QYrlwg
This is profoundly unrealistic. There’s no way the current crop of AI tools are independently executing at the level of even a junior programmer. If there’s any truth to the story, it sounds like someone changing the open job just based on spitefulness. A high level engineer handholding an AI to write some JS code is a huge waste of that person’s time.
I had a similar impression when I took a course on the matter ages ago. I don't have a better cognitive model, but the methods we were shoehorned into with ACT-R were so different from the actual cognitive processes I undertake in completing the same tasks that it all felt so pointless. Short of results derived from massive hyperparameter tuning to overfit existing data, has ACT-R shown any real-world explanatory power?
> This is semantics and you know it.

Nope, it's a distiction. And an important one.

> There we go. iMessage is the default for Apple phones contacting other Apple phones.

TFTFY. To contact other phones, use SMS, MMS. Even better, talk to your iPhone friends and agree to use another service. What is wrong with that? Literally the rest of the world managed it.

> I don't see how. I think it's perfectly rational. I'm surprsied you disagree so strongly to be hoenst.

I disagree because every point you have made has be immature or wrong. Or both. blue/green doesn't exist anywhere in the world, and speaking with friends in the US, is a storm in a teacup. You bringing it up leads me to believe that your likely in your early twenties. Some advice; know-one cares outside your little circle.

> No, it really won't. It certainly won't do anything to fix the silly blue/green bubble divide they caused.

You said it, silly, and nor really big bad Apple's fault. They cannot solve for childish responses from people that should know better.

> It doesn't really matter if carriers adopt something that the manufacturer of most phoens in the US does not support.

It really does, if they want said manufacturer to adope their standard.

> OK, but that's almost half a decade ago now.

And it was going nowhere then. It's still not widley used.

> Another reason Apple should have been contributing to and working on the RCS standard instead of alienating anyone who didn't want to buy their hardware.

So Google restricting access to their proprietary implementation of their RCS service is Apples fault for not contributing to a standard that they were unable at the time to contribute to because they were not members of the standard body drafting the standard behind closed doors. That takes some mental hoop jumping. Are you smelling toast?

> Because iMessage is the default for apple phones and most phones in the US are Apple phones.

If that is genuinely the case, why isn't a problem for the rest of the world? Also, I gave you the answer. Google let Android users down. They bungled messaging on the platform massively.

I just parsed the classifieds and I don't know where you're finding these reliable cars for under 2 grand. The only thing I see in the sub $2k price range are cars that need engines, cars with >200k miles and suspiciously few details on running history, or cars that are literally wrecked. I wouldn't trust any of those cars to be reliable.

There's some cars that look like they're in 'decent' condition under $5k, but they again have >150k miles almost universally. Likely in need of some pretty expensive maintenance somewhat soon at that mileage.

I bought a car for $2k that was decent and <100k miles around 10 years ago, but those days are long over as far as I can tell.

And yes, ICE = internal combustion engine.

CoreData is indeed not a Swifty experience, if only because of all of the boilerplate necessary.

Luckily SwiftData is really easy to pick up and because it’s build on top of CoreData it’s pretty easy to convert it over to SwiftData.

No, I'm just saying that you can't say that you solved homelessness when there are 4000 people homeless(in a country of 5m).
Surely existing methods of energy storage methods e.g. pumping water to higher altitude reservoirs to be used for hydro at peak hours will be more useful than millions of lead acid batteries
Yes - America. Maybe that is an easier problem to solve since we did that, and we still have homeless people.

Actually, homelessness is easy to solve, but requires distasteful actions by the government, like involuntary commitment.
Yeah but I can also make a webpage saying I have $10 billion dollars, doesn't mean its a true statement. If it was at least a 3rd party that was auditing it, I would put more stake in it.

Erosion would happen, but also icebergs would wipe out anything like buildings during the next ice age. And eventually subduction would consume the existing earth’s surface into the inner molten layer, leaving behind zero trace, but that might take hundreds of millions of years.
I doubt that this is a rich vs poor situation or some sort of societal inequity. Where I live there is virtually no apparent difference between the size of the vehicles driven by folks at the various income levels. It’s not even a new vs old. I see plenty of newer SUVs and trucks in lower income areas.

Overall vehicle related fatalities are decreasing even if pedestrian fatalities are increasing. Perhaps the solution to the pedestrian fatality increase isn’t due to the vehicle, it’s due to the opportunity for the two to come together.
Toxic as in the toxic play styles: turn 3 kills, decks that you wouldn't bring to play in person casually, games where you have near zero chances to win unless you play one of 3 meta decks. Also, I found BM (usually time wasting) is a lot more common on Arena than in other games I play (e.g. Hearthstone).
Could. Also might not, depends on a lot of things. But I have to say, there are a still plenty of horse and buggy drivers today, weavers, typewriter manufacturers. I'm sure they'll still be many programmers with AI advances.

That's a huge change and putting it in domain specific terms obscures the implications.

It changes the chain growth rate from up to ~52 gigabytes/yr to up to ~410 gigabytes/yr, it also means that the network takes 8 times as long to propagate blocks, which makes selfish mining attacks more viable, which weakens the game theory and adds a mining centralization force. Also consider that network bandwidth is a much more scarce resource for people in developing countries than it is for us in our first world country, and having a relatively-trustworthy payment system has a much greater relative utility for them than it would for us. And consider that full nodes don't only download blocks, they have to rebroadcast them to (ideally) at least 2 other nodes in order for blocks to even propagate at a decent rate.

This is data that has to be kept by somebody forever, even if particular users run pruned nodes, and the best way to ensure that it's readily available for anyone to inspect is to limit how much of it there is.

Since Bitcoin doesn't have state commitments, it's much less safe to use light clients, and increasing the bandwidth also shifts the balance more towards running light clients, compromising users' trust in the network. Making it more difficult to run fully verifying nodes like this is another centralization force.

Can't you use CoW to make the clone essentially instant? (I thought BTRFS supported it, but I'm not sure)

Edit: Okay, I did a bit of searching and if the image is a file (qcow2, say) I'm pretty sure you could just `cp --reflink=always old.qcow2 new.qcow2` and it would take way less than 30 seconds. (Again, assuming BTRFS; I guess ex. XFS has some sort of reflink support these days but I don't know)
I actually think measurement is the source of “artificial stupidity”.

We tend to measure what’s readily quantifiable. But these tend to be the most basic facts of a situation. And when we make decisions solely based on those metrics, we ignore significant higher order effects — which are difficult to measure.

So we make reductive decisions.

Which is where humanity had previously evolved tribal knowledge, parables, etc — because generationally, we can learn those effects. But we threw all of that data out of our models, which are based purely on numerics.

However, the effect can be years to decades to manifest — much like modeling a farm as only basic inputs and outputs, then destroying the soil over years. (To reference another article today.)
Not really. It is possessible (you possess the key that enables transfer), fungible, divisible, scarce, easily transferred. It has all of the basic qualities of money.

Every step of the workflow is durably recorded. So you have the full information about the exact state of each workflow. To troubleshoot, you can even download the event history and replay workflow in a debugger as many times as needed.

The idea of a decentralized storage grid sounds really cool. Instead of only relying on large centralized batteries, power companies would effectively rent capacity from their customers.

Imagine software that could run on EVs, Powerwall-type batteries, computers/tablets/smartphones, and so on, which would automatically charge and discharge for passive income. Essentially algorithmic trading, but with power instead of stock. You'd just have to configure any necessary time ranges and charge percentages, e.g. maybe your EV needs to be at 25% by 8am and again by 5pm on weekdays in order to make your daily commute.

Maybe some EVs will start to come with built-in crypto miners to burn negatively priced power when the battery is at capacity. Maybe Lyft/Uber and Waymo/Cruise will take advantage of it by increasing and lowering rates based on the price of power (if they don't already).
Sorry I don't get it. Heavy EVs pollute less than compact ICE vehicles. This is about the weight (and maybe price?) of cars, not about pollution. Maybe it's about cultural hatred of SUVs?

In many eurozone countries totals are rounded to the nearest 5 cents at the register if you pay cash. If you pay electronically then the exact amount is debited.

There are some weirdos who decide how to pay based on whether or not the rounding is in their favor (e.g if the total ends in a 2 they'll pay cash but if it ends in a 3 they'll pay with card). But I don't think these amounts are enough for stores to care, especially considering how much they save by not having to deal with 1¢ and 2¢ coins.

Commercial wind turbines and residential home values
On the other hand, I initially thought this was a collision until a second glance :-S
Here’s one critique of why the LCOE number is dangerous to use when comparing tech that’s as different as nuclear & solar:

https://www.mackinac.org/blog/2022/nuclear-wasted-why-the-co...

For instance, LCOE frequently ignores imposed costs for using solar and wind since they’re intermittent sources. When you factor in those requirements it gets more expensive. The US is also fairly unique in terms of making nuclear more expensive. If we actually started building plants at scale to replace fossil fuel plants, the costs would decrease rapidly over time, especially as we switch to modern designs.

No, the reason it gets built is not because of economic support for the military. It’s because it and hydro are the only non fossil fuel energy source that can provide base load power & run the entire grid 24/7 just like fossil fuels can. In fact, regulations are constantly trying to strangle nuclear and given it’s the only energy source that has repeatedly demonstrated to reduce fossil fuel demand, it’s interesting to consider why that might be (fossil fuel companies don’t care about solar and wind because it lets them greenwash the destruction they’re doing to the environment precisely because fossil fuel demand keeps growing in their presence and at best slightly decreases that curve but never creates a persistent downward trend)

It’s also generally better than hydro because it’s much less destructive to the environment.
No dead pilot to blame? That's about the only thing I can think of.

> doesn't consider the externalities that increasing it would have on the network performance and decentralization.

I ran a Bitcoin node on and off for 7 years. I remember the day it cost more to bootstrap an entire node than make a transaction. Your argument about "developing countries" and "internet costs" in other comments is completely disingenuous for this reason alone.

Bitcoin's runway was cut incredibly short by not raising the blocksize. The excitement around decentralization died because it was strangled.

> "We know as software engineers that solutions to problems at scale are never that simple"

Yes, L2s are needed - But it's insane to suggest 10x-ing the throughput at the bottleneck for a rounding error cost is a bad idea.

My point was that what you think is news, is actually PR. You might have the image of journalists hard at work in the field gathering news, but most the news you get is actually not that, it's straight out PR. It is not someone observing something, it is some official body sending out PR to journalists. That can be the police, it can be a government, it can be companies, etc. It is published as "news" but is not what you think it is.

I think your point is that some PR is officially PR but that's not what I'm talking about.
+ you have to recharge the batteries when the energy source reestablishes. This is particularly bad for solar because it means the batteries have to be discharged nightly to support nighttime generation & then daytime capacity is reduced to recharge for the next night. The bull story for solar as baseload power is really nonsensical.
A lot of people commenting about "an index into an array is also a pointer", I thought people commonly referred to integer indexes of this kind as handles, or index-handles? (like in this article [1]).
