Thinking that your partner is suddenly going to think you’re not good enough because they see other people is an insecure kind of line of thought and the sort of thought processes that breed jealousy IMO.
Being sexually exclusive doesn’t prevent people from falling out of love and moving on. People in monogamous relationships still sometimes decide their partners are not good enough, or they get bored, or whatever…
I sometimes think about how much roads influence our thinking and mental models. They represent abstract structure and organization that we have embedded into the physical world. If someone asked you to draw a map of your hometown, you would probably lean heavily on your knowledge of the road network.

It's interesting to think of the graph of "connected" cities/places inside each of us. If I'm in San Francisco, I know how to get to New York City without any assistance. But there are also roads within blocks of my house that I have no knowledge or understanding of.

So this is mostly a solved problem at other OEMs, and I do not know how Ford does it.

I know that other OEMs do variant testing, have complex SILS (software in the loop) test systems so that all potential failure scenarios are tested in software prior to update. The downside is that updates are slow to release then, with some other OEMs only putting out an update once or twice a year, but they avoid this scenario.

Software wise, the industry is moving towards defined standardized interfaces for sensors that are versioned. Example: https://blackberry.qnx.com/en/ultimate-guides/software-defin...

Back to the topic though, all major domain ECUs will have an A/B partition. Usually one of these is the OTA master, and has the capability to update the other microcontrollers via UDS. For safety critical microcontrollers that do not have a A/B partition, about half will not support OTA (this is just a thing for small MCUs), and the other half are flashable completely. So something like this is rare and should only happen on a secure boot failure or some other catastrophic scenario, which ideally your SILS system will have tested (SILS won't test all scenarios but will definitely test all failure cases).

Larger OEMs may even have HILS (hardware in the loop systems) where these things are also tested on physical hardware prior to launch, but with software defined vehicles this is slowly going away.
Retain the known good firmware for each controller on master disk A, if the update fails, reflash all components.
Just curious, what if the novelty wears out even with two partners? I'd imagine it'd wear out twice as slow, but eventually familiarity will take over, right?
Avoid sftp and use rsync instead (much better support for more types of metadata, more robust error handling).

Avoid passwords and use keys instead (easier to distribute, easier to generate, lets you lock them down to a single command).

The above avoids much unnecessary thinking.

If you really have to, there's always sshpass. And ssh -t to allocate a tty even if you are running without one. But this is seldom really necessary, first try harder do it the easy way.

Polyamory will never become popular. I'm not going to judge anybody for what they do in the privacy of their own bedroom, but I will say that very few people are going to be okay with their partner having sex with other people, and you need at least 3 such people for a polyamorous relationship. Also, maintaining a normal relationship is hard, and the number of relationships between 2 members within a polyamorous relationship increases quadratically as the number of members increase linearly. If even one of those inter-relationships go sour, I imagine that it could lead to serious consequences for the entire poly relationship. Again, good for you to any poly people reading this that happened to make it work, but the odds are stacked against poly relationships.
Yes, probably. I'd say between 5 and 10% of the people i've met have been at least once in a non-monogamous situation. I used to be too, but it did not last long. Probably the numbers are at least twice as high, it's not something you just tell people.

"Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know."

My understanding was that a US owner contracted aspects of the facility construction and neglected to pay the contractors, then sold the completed facility to the Chinese investors.

It sounds like the original owner's contractor is alleging that the Chinese investors are also not paying them for services at the mine, while the Chinese investors are claiming the contractor failed to deliver?

Is this not basically equivalent to installing more batteries on the grid assuming the number of electric cars is mostly unaffected by the availability of employer-provided charging[0]? Those cars are batteries, and midday charging smooths demand the same as grid-connected battery storage[1].

[0] A big assumption, to be sure.

[1] You could schedule your car to charge at the most off-peak hours that aren't midday, but we're getting pretty far from a first-order approximation if we're looking at that as a factor.

It's an interesting perspective but ultimately unsatisfying because it doesn't touch on basic questions it seems like anyone would think to ask.

If the old philosophy is so vastly superior, what's stopping folks from recreating it in today's computing ecosystem?

Hot take: Google Calendar.

No, really. UX rule: Facility drives frequency.

The main barrier to normative polyamory, it turns out, was the sheer logistical challenge of maintaining elaborate, reliable structures of commitments.

Google Calendar, and tech in general, have made it easier for people to scale in precisely the same way databases and ERP allowed corporations to achieve Amazon-scale.

This tech-dependence is also the reason that poly is de-rigeur in tech culture, where in some circles (esp. queer-flavoured varietals) it can be surprising to meet someone who is mono.

A good app to build would be a SaaS platform like Tailscale for maintaining polycule/solo-poly relationships and resources; incidentally, Tailscale is already used for this in nerd 'cules. But I'm thinking some sort of Bring Your Own Storage

The more functionality there is on the server (common for anti-piracy/cheating) the less likely that is to happen.

> It isn't.

Pardon me, but what isn’t? Are you saying it is not popular?

> I don't know of a single couple in my personal life or extended group of friends that went poly and remained a couple past 5 years.

This sentence makes it sound like you know multiple people who went poly. Which is exactly what “become so popular” mean. Then it sounds like you argue that it doesn’t make sense and the affected mariages didn’t last. Which is fine I guess, but that is a different question from if it is popular or not.

> Why get married if you're going to be polyamorous.

I don’t understand this question either. Many people are polyamorous without getting married. Perfectly valid choice.

Then some people are first married, they live in a monogamous marriage and then they realise that the lifestyle is not working out for them. The choice for these people is not between monogamous marriage and polyamory but between divorce and polyamory.

The question you are asking presuposes that people are aware that they want a polyamorous relationship at the time when they get married.

Then of course there can be people who want a marriage for some legal or social protection. Let those things be preceived or real. If we believe that two adults can promise each other to stick together and help each other in good and bad, sickness and health, why couldn’t the same thing work just because they also have other people in their lives?
I'm not sure which will come first: mainstream polyamory; or brain uploading.

If the latter, every personal ID has to switch from a single database entry to a git (or other vcs) repo, where relationships may or may not survive the branch.
> and it certainly does not mean they're sitting out the election which was your claim.

That was 972mag's claim as a precondition for Hamas to enter PLO post elections (which didn't happen).

1. In 2014, per UAE, Hamas stepped aside to let PA reach a political solution on 1967 borders. PA had nothing to show for that.

2. In 2021, 35 parties alongside Hamas (via proxy or not) favoured elections in WB, E Jerusalem, and Gaza. PA called it off.

In both those cases, doubt it was all Abu Mazen on his own, without the backing of the Knesset.

> And again, bringing up random Likudniks does not refute...

Two things:

1. You seem to place emphasis on direct quotes from Hamas but dismiss direct quotes from Likudniks (that prove they're no supporters of 2SS, which is why they may have pushed Abu Mazen to prevent elections).

2. Random? That's the longest serving Israeli Prime Minister.

Anywho, it seems we both agree on what happened (sabotage of the peace process) just not what led to it (right-wing Israeli rulers).
A vector is a position in a dimensional space. In 2D space a vector is a point (x, y) like (1, 3) or (-2.5, 7.39). We can also do simple math on vectors like addition: (1, 3) + (2, -1) = (3, 2).

LLMs treat language as combinations of vectors of a very high dimension -- (x, y, z, a, b, c, d, ...). The neat thing is that we can combine these just like the 2D vectors and get meaningful results. If we have the vectors for the concepts "King" and "Woman", adding them gives a vector close to the one for "Queen"!

Once you know this, you can extrapolate and look for ways to categorize groups of vectors and combine them in new ways. As I read it, this research is about finding the vector weights for text from specific time periods -- i.e. January of 2021 -- and comparing them to the vectors for text from a different period -- i.e. March of 2021. It seems that all the operations are still meaningful, you can even do something like averaging vectors in January and March and getting ones that look like vectors in February!

Arguably hook ups / one night stands drive STDs more and always have.

Anecdotally every poly person I know is (relatively speaking) quite diligent about STDs, getting tested way more than most, informing partners etc etc. Sometimes it seems to me like poly is actually a spreadsheet fetish with relationships on the side.

I think polyamory is more threatening to "traditional" values due to emotional risk / complexity and impact on family structure, parenting etc. One of the gnarlier problems is wealth transmission.

In many countries you are de facto with someone after just 2 or 3 years, this is already crazy, you get in a relationship with someone and a few years later you owe them half your house. Bring poly into the mix and if you a) have assets and b) cohabit then things can get messy real fast.

Very basic stuff like welfare and taxes haven't really caught up with this either yet, practical things like what do you put in the "partner's income" box on many government forms. The bureaucracy is really not set up for this.

Real world programs I've written in CSP style have made use of Alt (or select in Go) on mixed collections of receive and send channels.

One simple use case is for a dynamic graph of channels, where one wishes to be able to 'cancel' a blocking send, that being done by having a 'cancel' read channel which one can select upon. Then one uses an Alt over both the send and the receive, with the expectation that usually it is the send which completes.

I've used that pattern in recent Go code.
Yeah sorry to be kinda pedantic but wood is not an element, it's just a material. And if we're talking rarity of materials there are undoubtedly much much rarer materials, like LK99 for instance.

In fact, even if we're talking elements themselves, there are elements with halflives of picoseconds. I can't know for sure but i'd bet those elements are more rare than wood. And since I'm extending the analogy, how do we know wood is the rarest? We can't really get a good look at exoplanets yet, they're still just fuzzy balls to us like pluto used to be. Trees could be an evolutionary essential step.

Anyways, it's a nice thought but could probably be phrased in a way to defeat pedants like me. Merry Christmas <3
