Floor seats will be less desirable...or floor seat patrons are wearing Apple Vision/goggles for the AR (joking! but maybe serious)...

I do agree, just watching a sporting event on a projector where the athletes are life-sized is excellent, on-field cameras already provide a better view of the game then any seat.

Now make it more immersive, and the trick of immersion is very cool. Like The Sphere, that immersion is next level.

Add sports-betting to the Vision experience, that is a great side-car app for this. (I am not pro-bet but see the usage).
Back in the day I was flying back east and had some movies loaded on my iPod Touch.

And I was casually watching one in my seat, the movie was “Blackhawk Down”. And it occurred to me how a neighbor might not enjoy watching blood, guns, and violence out of the corner of their eye.

So, I can absolutely see value in a headset style movie experience in public places.
Thank you, I hadn't considered that aspect.
What's not to understand? Physical recall. Killer airbag. Turn it in.

It simply means, your car will not roll this feature back itself because it's not a software recall. Go turn it in.

Turns out it's confusing to overload the term "recall", and downright dangerous when it comes to overloading safety terms.

We're always going on about how misleading AutoPilot is as a term to the hypothetically confused consumer. But overloading recall isn't confusing?

I cannot help that the government for some reason chose to overload this term.
It's perfectly reasonable to like the present outcome without liking the methods or the road taken to get there. I, for one, expect the regulation to stifle innovation in a few years. USB-C isn't perfect, and moving off it will probably be difficult.

I'd argue that, based on what this paper is discussing at least, it'd be pretty impossible for them to use stars to navigate. I'm not sure what they'd do in pitch dark environments but if they're using either the sun, moon, or artificial light to help them navigate, I highly doubt stars would even register/be detectable to them.
Yes. 40 years of debugging with print statement (or MsgBox in MFC during that one Windows project in the 90s...). When I'm mentoring juniors, I always see them stepping through the code with a debugger. They're not really understanding the code, they're just looking for the line that crashed ("Oh, there's an NPE here"). And they do a local fix ("We'll just do an if(foo==null) check"). That doesn't usually fix the root cause (Why was foo null? Should it ever have been allowed to be null? Should we catch that earlier in one place?), and they never internalize or understand the codebase.

Printf debugging requires you to reason about the code. And yes, I look like a n00b when I debug something I've never seen before and it takes me longer to find the first bug. But during that whole process I'm learning how the code is really organized and how things go together.

I always advocate for the printf style of debugging.
One my colleagues had this recently. He was interviewing an “engineer” and there was big awkward pauses after each question while they waited for the candidate to respond. They realised the candidate was being fed the answers in an ear piece or something. They just said it was so weird like how did this person think they would get away with it.
I think 'anomy' is implying that we would trust social norms, or that people would behave as expected by force of society's norms. You would behave so others would continue to do business with you.

I think we've seen a lot in recent years how this doesn't work when people are free to break away from social norms.

Other point, I think this is missing that in large global economies, we have both very little recourse on our own without laws. If we trust purely market forces (if you sell me junk I just wont buy from you), then bad-actors can just move on to next mark, or change names. We have started making purchases in anonymously online from other anonymous sellers. There is no longer any social norms to prevent cheating.

really good illustration of trust. which is needed for market pressures you describe, but don't scale well. hence needing laws to track down bad-actors.

That’s my understanding too.

The way I thought about this before was that normally an insect would ‘keep the moon’ on one side to navigate straight, but artificial light messes that up and they end up spiraling around those light sources.

Which seems exactly the behavior that they have demonstrated in the research.
Honestly I had just learned this distiction as well and its not entirely clear to me not being too much of a horse person. Here a slightly edited explanation from the linked wiki:

--

American Saddlebred - walk, trot, canter, and two ambling gaits: the rack, a fast, lateral, four-beat gait that is synchronous— "each foot meets the ground at equal, separate intervals"; and a "slow gait", a slower, smooth collected four-beat gait that is asynchronous — "the lateral front and hind feet start almost together but the hind foot contacts the ground slightly before its lateral forefoot."

Icelandic horse - walk, trot, canter, tölt and the skeið, or flying pace. The tölt is a lateral four-beat gait compared to the rack of the Saddlebred, but in style of performance sometimes more closely resembles the largo of the Paso Fino, or the running walk of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Like all lateral ambling gaits, the footfall pattern is the same as the walk (left hind, left front, right hind, right front), but differs from the walk in that it can be performed at a range of speeds, from the speed of a typical fast walk up to the speed of a normal canter. Some Icelandic horses prefer to tölt, while others prefer to trot. The flying pace is a two-beat lateral gait, with a moment of suspension between the two sets of footfalls.

--

So it seems they share the first three then the Icelandic tölt is similar to the Saddlebred rack and the fifth seems completely different - the Icelandic skeið being a two-beat lateral with the Saddlebred performing a four-beat asynchronous amble.
It's just a pure emotional manipulation attempt. The statement itself is illogical on its face, and presents the tech as having only upsides. It ignores the meaning of deaths caused by AI.

Any time I see appeals like this, my takeaway is that the person has no actual argument.
Logging is just easier. The lazy route is the most common
The whole controversy about Taylor Swift having AI-generated images made about her seems astroturfed. How is this any different from the fake celebrity nudes that have been floating around the internet since the Usenet days? If anything, this is an improvement, as people can be much more creative than simply making someone nude by putting their head on someone else.

My point is that the person who made the statement "those are more likely to kill you than these airbags" wasn't really all that off the mark.

> Interest rates had been rock bottom since the 2008 crisis, were already quite low since the 1990s, and are still not very high today.

Interest rates dropped from previous highs in 1990 and have stayed down. The current interest rate is about equal to the mean and median for the 90s, and is near the peak of interest rates we've seen in that time.

45% of the US population is age 34 or younger. So for nearly half of the country's population, interest rates are nearly as high as they've ever been.

So calling it "not very high" is misleading; you're comparing now to back before nearly half the country was born.

Same. I didn't go quite down the rabbit hole you did, but I have a Cubieboard and reSpeaker that both ended up in the trash. Software on both were garbage, and the reSpeaker also had unstable hardware.

Meanwhile the only problem I ever had with Raspberry Pi boards was a camera socket that eventually went bad on one RPi3... and this is across probably 12-15 boards. The software support has always been there, and the hardware itself has always been pretty solid. And this is despite the fact that they use a weird closed Broadcom chipset with a weird architecture and weird bootup sequence.

The Apple headset is maybe more akin to the expensive workstations of the time which did make fuller use of their CPU facilities but were neither priced nor aimed at consumers. The headset is not nearly as expensive (especially inflation adjusted) and is ostensibly a consumer device but it's current incarnation seems unlikely to have the kind of mass adoption for the analogy to work out.

There is a difference between debugging my current code - where I can build a mental model and work with print statements and dealing with other peoples (or my long past self's) code. With other peoples code I need to restrict myself to partial understanding of the overall state and thus need a more comprehensive view of the local execution context than what a print statement provides.

Gaia is orbiting around the L2 Lagrange point. As it traverses its orbit, the stars will appear to wiggle (relative to their previous recorded position) because of the stellar parallax effect. This (along with precisely knowing Gaia's orbit) enables scientists to accurately measure the distance to the star - if it wiggles more, it's closer. If it wiggles less, it's further away.

There is a limit to this method of measurement, based on the accuracy of the telescope. For Gaia:

> The European Space Agency's Gaia mission is expected to measure parallax angles to an accuracy of 10 microarcseconds for all moderately bright stars, thus mapping nearby stars (and potentially planets) up to a distance of tens of thousands of light-years from Earth.

The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years wide. So it is able to accurately measure the distance for a _lot_ of stars around us in our galaxy.

This video probably explains it better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdy09y0A4t0
I personally interpreted it as C years, thus the usage of printf statements versus Python years that have print statements.

My interpretation could be wrong though...
Correlation doesn't equal causation. Having lived in SF during that period, there was a lot of governmental policy that contributed to that rise in homelessness. Saw the same thing in Oregon: homelessness increased when housing prices increased but there was also measure 110 which decriminalized all drugs. SF's similarly lax policies probably have more to do with their homeless issue than their housing prices. If it were purely housing prices, these people would just move to somewhere cheaper. And before you say, they can't move, they surely could move into Oregon when meth became de facto legal.

For a lot of addicts, the criminal justice system is their only chance at substance abuse help (mostly because they won't seek it on their own on the outside as we've seen in Oregon).
Unless you decide you needed a breakpoint in the past.
Use a debugger, you filthy barbarians. Learn how to step through, set breakpoints, watches, and watchpoints. Learn where to use these tools effectively. Print statements cannot give you a fine-grained view into the evolution of your program by stepping through, line by line or even instruction by instruction. Debuggers can.

Debugging by printf() is only extant because the debugging tools generally available under Unix are stone-knives-and-bearskins compared to other environments (Windows comes to mind).
I can't reply to the reply to this comment, but you raise a key point. While employers control the data, they don't use it like people seem to assume. Managers are not managing if they attempt to resolve conflicts by attempting to decipher private conversations.

There are many ways to resolve these problems without resorting to spying on messages. In an in-person situation with a conflict, there may be no record. We know methods to resolve these conflicts, so I don't understand why people go immediately to "employers control the data so they can just use it."
'Just' pressure is not the only metric; from your link:

> However, the flexural and tensile strengths tended to decrease as the amount of desert sand increased, particularly beyond a 25% replacement level.

So it is not a 1:1 replacement, and there are further considerations that need to be taken into account into how much (if any) desert sand can be put into a particular mix for a particular purpose. Another paper if you want to get into the weeds somewhat:

> In this paper, the effect of DSRR, temperature and cooling regime on the mechanical performances of concrete produced with desert sand was analyzed. To study the influence of temperature on the microstructure of concrete produced with desert sand, the microscopic experiments (XRD, SEM) were employed.
