Making Tesla criminally liable (in a tangible, punitive sense, not just a $5000 fine per infraction) for every instance of an individual being directly harmed by a Tesla's self-driving mode would be a huge win for society as a whole, but Tesla and their supporters and apologists seem to have this idea that "hey, it's software, it's buggy but we'll fix it and iterate and then it'll be great" without realizing that we're not just crashing and losing the last ten minutes of someone's essay, we're crashing and killing human beings.

It would be an uphill battle for sure, and that's incredibly depressing.
Children are not dolls made for gaining followers
I'm not discounting it, it's an hypothetical paper so I don't know. Some poor souls already spend tens of thousands of dollars to go to college and don't even get this said paper.
What other found would you recommend? Investing in our fellow humans has always been the best investment for any society, if not its sheer definition.

yea, no doubt if you are down on your luck someone handing you $750/month would improve your circumstances in the short run - but it sounds like perhaps you made changes in your life, such that you are no longer homeless - great - but would you, or anyone else not feeling the desperation of being hungry or unsheltered be more, or less, likely to try and improve your circumstances if you were getting a cash handout every month so the adverse affects weren't so bad?

Its a serious question - isn't there some benefit to society when people feel the pain of bad circumstances or decisions and then feel motivated to do something about it?

I am of the opinion that it does.

I think that the project never settled on a specific security model, to be honest, and the current one is mostly the result of happenstance.

If these were digitised, they'd be public domain; anyone would have the right to create their own copy. Quietly shredding paper documents is a lot easier than getting a court order against Internet Archive. Open digitisation is a very powerful tool to stop governments from throwing things down the memory hole.
Increased voltage in itself is okay if done through any of the negotiated power delivery standards such as USB PD

Latest USB PD supports up to 48V and up to 5A, resulting in 240W

That’s also a reason why not all fast chargers work well for all products – if the required voltage + amperage combination is not supported then the closest supported lower combination will be used instead.

That said, 7.5 volt is not a supported voltage in USB PD at least and there seems to be no handshake that guards it in this case
Roll-your-own Observable over an off-the-shelf PubSub
They got so sick of hearing about political bias they decided they didn’t want to be news sources after all, is my impression. Too bad they only came to their conclusion after getting news publishers to totally reorient themselves around social media though.
Also need to factor in that since the $750 is a recurring gift that could stop at any time, recipients are incentivized to report that the $750 is spent in good ways.
This is the manager's or marketeers version of flow. It is not the kind of flow we're discussing here.

As expected, most folks are reacting directly to the headline. The study protocols are more interesting and informative: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-3287846/v1

Basically, the key factor here appears to not only be money, but an assigned “Miracle Friend” who has recurring check-ins with the individual. The grantees of the funding were all individuals who kept up recurring checkins for some period of time (without being disclosed that this would result in receiving any money).
+1 for mentioning the Tyee.
All else being equal, you could conceivably push a higher data rate on the forward link. The apertures are the same size, just the transmit and receive apertures are reversed, so geometric losses would be exactly the same. However, you can get a much more powerful laser on the ground since you don't have to worry about the power and thermal constraints you have with the transmitter on the spacecraft. This advantage will be pared down somewhat as the spacecraft won't have as sensitive a detector as the ground station (since it's harder to actively cool it for low dark count, for example). But on balance I expect you will come out ahead.

That said, on real world deep space missions, forward links are generally much slower than return links. This is because the slower you go, the better margin you have to close a link in adverse conditions (eg: mis-pointed spacecraft antenna for an RF link). Since you are completely screwed if you can't command the spacecraft, TT&C engineers will always go for a slower rate on the forward link for added Murphy insurance unless there's a pressing need to do otherwise.

Does this service do anything different/better than jsdocs.io?

I like the way jsdocs.io puts everything on one page.

You're asking me to define the physical nature of thought? Of subjective experience? I can't. No one can.

As I already said, though, that doesn't mean we should assume there's something metaphysical going on. When I think of a red ball neurons fire. We have no reason to believe there is anything else going on because we have no evidence one way or the other. The experience of thinking of a red ball is not evidence that there's anything supernatural going on.

There is already plenty of evidence of how poverty cripples cognitive capabilities and prevents long-term planning. Getting a leg up and slightly more financial security gives people a longer time horizon to plan forward. Well-off people who try living "in poverty" for short period don't experience the stress like people living in actual poverty and stress and can't understand how bad it is.

The first path out of poverty is giving people some money without strings attached.

Because it might not end up being a choice of which store to get things from like your physical goods example. For the larger apps/those from specific publishers it may likely be a choice of: Meta apps only from the Meta Store, Epic Games apps only from the Epic Games store, etc.

And regarding the security aspect: once people expect to download a random app store for every company, they'll be less hesitant to download one that's just malware.
Can someone consider giving this person a leg up? It's true that my communication abilities and long term relations helped fill stop gaps over the years.

Let's not forget that even that is prone to problems. I had some archives (30-35 years old) that no longer can be unpacked. The application that made them is no longer working. Source code isn't available. I also had a few "rotting" CDs (not CD-R, but factory pressed CDs). You need a very good strategy to make digital information survive the next 100 years, and keep it up to date, at least yearly.

And, given the performance of government IT projects in the past in so many countries, this will probably turn out to be more expensive than they hope.
> one X11 application can send messages directly to another X11 application. That's where their example of a malicious app inserting text into a sudo terminal comes from.

not if it leads to even more people living on the streets or in shelters - the media was ripe with stories that if we just stopped criminalizing drug use, it would lead to more people seeking help and overdoses would go down - it had the opposite affect - more overdoses, more drug users etc.

I think it would work the same way here.
That must be why that Bitcoin thing didn't pan out.
I've recently made a habit of labeling power adapters with the device it belongs to. Too often I have wanted to use an old device I have not used for a few years, then had to go through my box of old power adapters trying to match up the plug, voltage, and current to the device in hand.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. SF absolutely does already give out monthly grants. It hasn’t seemed to move the needle in reducing homelessness, but maybe it make things less dire for those who get it? I guess the question is what’s the goal of the money…
> Unless you have a link to show evidence that they know how to modify the devices to prevent them from ever phoning home again? Because even if you somehow manage to reset and wipe the device offline, it’ll still phone home and brick itself as soon as it gets a connection because the ID is in hardware.

Would this happen if the phone were moved to a network in China? I didn't want to go into that aspect of it, but my understanding is that the phones get sent to a location in China and worked on there. I don't have any evidence on hand, but I am sure you can find some. If you want me to dig into it I can, but just not at this moment.

One of these things is not like the other
If you look at crash data of lots of different vehicles (e.g. IIHS loss data), there's a clear pattern in the predominant cause of crashes in the real world.

It's not how fast the car is, or its safety features. It is the target consumer. Vehicles that appeal to subprime purchasers, boy racers, or other risk takers tend to have higher loss rates compared to similar vehicles.

If you look up high horsepower cars that are known as "old man" sports cars, they tend to have low loss numbers. It is the driver that matters more than any other single factor.

I think the human factor here is a couple of things:

1. many of these drivers are under the impression that their vehicles can drive semi-autonomously, and so they take more risks in not monitoring the system

2. these vehicles are new and high performance, and they appeal to those who want to show off, display status, and take risks in demonstrating the vehicle's capabilities.

3. they are driven on more dense roads
Honestly.... Good. I'm upset that Google buckled, even at a lower dollar amount than I'm sure the government wanted.

This legislation is disgustingly out of touch with the reality of how something as simple as linking works. My fellow Canadians need to feel the impact to remind them of how awful this government is. Luckily, it seems like the writing is already on the walls...
Sorry, Tower Defense. A fun way to experiment with pathfinder and map generation as well.
An averaged heat-map would also help solve the pirennial relationship question of who encroaches on whose side of the bed the most :)
As you point out, the important bit is the documentation that shows how and why a language is compliant with a safety standard. The spec serves as the basis on which the compliance can be referenced. A given implementation then is shown to satisfy the spec.

So yes, a given vanilla release is compliant, you just can't do anything with that in a way that an audit will allow until you include all the justifications as to how that makes the language safe (defined by whatever safety standard you need).
The creator of Uxn/Varvara is actually doing TCC again this year and they have published code so you can take a look. Lots of approximations for avoiding square roots and trig. Good discussion on the discord about it.
Why ask those people how they ended up this way, and help strategically based on each person's individual needs, while allowing them to feel useful by contributing back to society, when we can just throw money at them. It's easier to throw money at them. I'm sure this will work great, and not become another outlet for corruption.
Tower Defense—a subgenre of strategy games.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief.

The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties w/hypermedia — we did.

winks

But you can't hold a single library responsible for the behavior of a few developers unfamiliar w/ server-side template escaping. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole web development ecosystem? And if the whole whole web development ecosystem is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of hypermedia's uniform interface in general?

I put it to you, Nullability: isn't this an indictment of our entire American society?

Well, you can say what you want about us, but I'm not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!

> reason that Lufthansa wants ILS is to increase safety

Yes because "more technology is more better" right? And forgetting about how to do things by hand (or eye) doesn't pose a risk to anyone neither

A visual approach is no more unsafe than an ILS one in good weather. Sure, ok, the caveat here is "at night" but I don't think the multiple pilots that were doing it at the time were being risky on purpose

(and people are quoting Asiana, but understand that fumbling a visual approach landing is not a thing that should be common)
Doesn't this assume inadequate cooling? A quick google indicates AMD's X3D CPUs begin throttling around 89°C, and that it's not overly challenging to keep them below 80 even under intense CPU load, although that's presumably without any activity on the integrated GPU.

Assuming cooling really is inadequate for running both the CPU cores and the integrated GPU: for GPU-friendly workloads (i.e. no GPU-unfriendly preprocessing operations for the CPU) it would surely make more sense to use the integrated GPU rather than spend the thermal budget having the CPU cores do that work.

In our case our daughter was identified as both having a tongue tie and a lip tie.

I can't tell if it's true or not, but I can tell the surgery did save my wife connection with my child, after that they spent a lot of time together.

The horrible part is having to rub on the wound for the next 2 weeks to prevent healing. I had to do that and it was devastating.

Still worth though, both the my daughter and my wife were heaving serious problems due to this.

I vaguely remember reading the announcement about Acela when I was a teenager, originally thinking it was going to be high speed rail between Boston and NYC. It's really embarrassing as a country that it takes 4 hours to get between the two cities by train. And on top of that, it often is at least as expensive as a 30 minute flight.

What does that have to do with sanity?
I use Twitter, anon account with very loose opsec.

I mostly follow individuals on personal accounts, meaning few to no managed accounts (corporations, politicians, professionals with any kind of product or course to sell) or accounts with a heavy emphasis on narrative making (journalists, activists, politicians, tech marketers, crypto enthusiasts, VCs/startup people).

Twitter is how I ended up joining a group chat interested in psychology and discussing e.g. practices for better communication, emotional maturity; a group chat around cooking and sharing tips; and otherwise having nice interactions within a loosely-stable group of people with shared interests. Most were accounts <300 followers and/or <300 following.

I'm not too concerned with anything big enough to be considered news (which is how I interpret what you mean by "public conversation"), as it usually filters into my timeline 2-3 days (or even weeks) in advance of print/broadcast media anyway.

I guess my point is, the key for making Twitter a positive experience for me is forgoing big accounts, like video game streamers, TikTok/Instagram influencers, and news-/politics-/special-interest-focused brands, and mainly seeking real individuals with shared interests. One big indicator is a high ratio of their own tweets vs retweets -- if an account is mostly retweeting things (often will be tweets on polarizing topics from polarizing accounts) and not really tweeting stuff like "I've been reading X programming book" or "I've been getting into Y hobby, and like Z about it", I either ignore the account or turn off retweets from them.

edit: removed some content relating to politics/news, trying to keep this message focused on twitter itself/how I use it/tips I hope are useful.
I love fun with flags!
Apologies, I left out the word "synchronously" in front of "communicate". Synchronous communication is either planned meetings or unplanned disruptions, which many people strongly dislike. A complete lack of communication is of course impossible, so these people strongly prefer asynchronous communication - very detailed spec in advance, emails with the implicit expectation they might get answered with a day-long delay etc.
I keep power supplies around when the device they were supposed to power goes out of service. The collection has grown to a big crate of assorted power supplies where I can hunt for a spare. It is common that I have to solder on a plug from another power supply, but it's not rare to find multiple compatible supplies that have the right plug and specs.

The scenario you describe, where I'm looking for a power supply among a set of devices, to power another device, that is less likely to turn up a winner. But chances are non-zero enough that I do wander around looking for other options when a power supply is missing.
