Thanks for the comment. It looks like we mostly agree.

> The purpose of the "disorder" is to group common pathologies and their respective treatments (methods to improve).

So nice to see this expressed. Classification helps when it lets us find effective treatment approaches. We do want to give people effective tools to face life difficulties.

That said, a problem happens when a classification has many different presentations. Person A with high functioning autism might need help staying focused on disliked tasks. Person B with high functioning autism might have trouble expressing emotions (but do fine with disliked tasks). As the classification widens, so does the range of presentations, and that increases the risk of treating people like B for difficulties that they don't have.

We can remove that risk if we treat the difficulty directly. Instead of `person -> classification -> difficulties -> treatments` we go `person -> difficulty -> treatment`. Simply match difficulties to treatments directly.

"Lots of people have difficulty staying focused on tasks they don't like. These things tend to help... "

> Many people with high functioning autism don't see it as a disorder and view it as a "different thinking style".

It's just so nice to see that. Happily, the DSM may remove high functioning autism, at least in part. Good! We did the same with homosexuality in 1973. The classification was the stigma.

It looks like we agree that classifications can help, if it points to effective treatment. I like to point out that wide categories obscure effective treatments and also introduce stigma. By dropping the classification, we can focus on the person, their real difficulties, and to normalizing their human experience.
It's notional. The actual quote from the report [1] is

> Derivative notional amounts decreased in the third quarter of 2023 by $17.7 trillion, or 8.0 percent, to $204.2 trillion.

The vast majority of all these derivatives are collateralized, and the collateral is updated daily. They are also subject to some form of extra collateral called (improperly) "initial margin", so in case one bank goes down for some reason, it doesn't take its counterparties with it.

If I have a choice between a clever, practiced antagonist to plan and write my tests and an automated system that can fit common testing patterns to my code... I'm always going to get more robust results from the former.

But yeah, if you're just working solo on basic stuff and need to protect against off-by-one errors and accidental mutations in later refactoring, it's a great tool. You'd never write duly antagonistic tests for your own code anyway.
>it's a normal English word

I mean, it's an English word, for sure. I have never once in my many years heard someone actually say it seriously. Maybe a handful of times when someone was purposefully trying to be quirky.
One of the reasons why I doubt Satoshi is Hal is apparent from these forum posts: if my goal was to stay anonymous, I would not immediately associate my real identity with my anonymous one. Hal is one of the first people to reply to this Bitcoin forum post.
As a concept, Data Monitoring isn’t new, but is ever evolving. As organizations navigate increasingly complex data ecosystems with decreasing resources, ensuring data integrity and reliability has never been more crucial. While any ‘list’ of rules for effective monitoring of data is hardly comprehensive, let’s explore some guidelines.

Indeed. Other platforms include Stuxnet attacks Siemens software on PLCs controlling Iranian centrifuges. [0]

As to your question, while I don't see an obvious reason why the US would make this up, I can see situations where government agencies might desire that this information be released. (For example to justify funding or to send signals to China.)
For solving long term tasks like finding things that aren't there, you can turn the annotated scene into a templated description and feed it to a large-enough model trained on interactive fiction.

You are standing in a kitchen. Ahead of you to your right there is a large refrigerator with the handle on the right side. There is a set of cabinets to your left with a plate sitting on the counter above them.

Obviously we're still several years from this working, but it's very exciting to consider. Interactive Fiction narrative fed by real sensors plus chain-of-thought blocks as internal monologue.
Yeah, it's not really convincing that it can typically take up to 7-8. By that age kids are already able to read, write and do basic math, which of course requires them to understand "classes" like numbers and letters, such that they could handle both "write a number" and "write 23".

Fast food prices have been unhistorically low for a few decades, due to a combination of increasing worker productivity and suppressed demand due to the great recession.

Three bean burritos at Taco bell costs $1.89 where I lived from 1992 through about 2011. Far, far cheaper than I could make bean burritos myself, especially as a single man cooking for one. It was a godsend while I was a starving grad student, but lets face it, that can only go on so long.

When I was growing up, going to McDonalds was a rare treat. Now it is once again.
> With sound, there is literally only one thing that matters: how accurately and precisely you can vibrate the air.

I’d argue that that’s not what matters. What matters is does the song you’re listening to sound good.

The measurement that you’re talking about is precisely the bit that obsessive audiophiles get wrong, and it’s the parallel that I’m drawing with folks who obsess over stationary too.

I’m not saying that hobbies and interests are wrong, just that often they miss the point that makes the tool useful in the first place. A cheap pen can write nicely without needing to obsess over then pen, paper, ink, etc, just as much as a song can sound great without obsessing over which particular tube amp sounds warmer.

> You need an IKV account and a provisioned key-value store to start using IKV in production. Why? IKV is an embedded database which is built on top of a persistent stand-alone data layer (which needs resource allocation). To provision (provisioning time is usually less than 12 hrs)

This seems counterintuitive to an embedded store. Potentially 12 hour provisioning time is also wild.
I don't agree with the 200-bit estimate. Usernames will typically not be random and will have much less entropy.

Either way, I was not talking about brute-forcing a single username. What I suggested was that Signal could loop over the space of all possible usernames. Every other name would be a hit (i.e. exist) and reveal the account ID, possibly even the phone number, of that user.

Hell, couldn't regular users do the same? The blog post at least doesn't mention anything about rate limits when probing usernames.
For me first time I noticed problems with energy and performance I went to a doctor and they had me tested for sleep apnea, first day after putting myself on a CPAP was day and night difference.

Last year I found myself spend a lot of time hoarding tasks to do at work, but less to work on them. It’s causing constant anxiety, and the anxiety is driving me to take more tasks, making promises that’s gonna be missed. Once I felt it’s such vicious circle I went to a doctor and after many visits and tests, they finally decided that I have ADHD and prescribed me some non-stimulant meds, it took about 12 weeks for the side effects to wear off and finally start working.

Looking back I feel like ADHD might be occupational hazard for some. Or just a result of bad habits? I personally was switching context very often, like 15 minutes on a project in python, then switched to another one on Go. Also I’m the yes man at work. Now I just slot half a day fixated on only one project, and use the “focus time” feature on my calendar (blocks chat etc).

I heard somewhere that during the New Deal era, there was a regulation on the books that allowed the Army Corps of Engineers to file paperwork in the courthouse at 9am and roll bulldozers after lunch. It's a shame we can't bring that back. It would fix so many gordian knots of lawsuits that keep the US stuck in the 1900s.
This scam was popular in post-soviet too. Basically a very annoying salesman who reiterates on all sorts of reality bending pushes once you let them in. You may think it shouldn’t work but it does, on people whom you wouldn’t call idiots. As I understand it, it leverages the tendency to respect authority and avoid conflict, among other sales tricks.

There’s an old joke about it:

Salesman: (enters the room and dumps trash on the floor) If our vacuum cleaner can’t clean this, I will eat this trash!

Dwellers: You can start eating cause electricity is off for three days.
Canada has "Crown land," which is public for people to use, but maps aren't great, and I understand that much of it is not accessible. These rules will fall, as populations shift. I live in a rural area close to a city with massive immigration (we're one the highest growth countries in the world right now), and Western norms and conventions that make rural life secure and viable, which facilitated a lot of land and public space use - are absolutely not universal.

To respond, I've just bought a drone that dissuades people from tresspassing, loitering, and lining the roadway in front of my house at night, but tech is just a temporary measure. These roaming and public space laws are at the cusp of the conflict of demographic change. Rural life is viable because of the norms around space and privacy, and if we introduce urban security issues to rural communities without also adapting the laws to mitigate their effects, it will destroy that way of life completely.

Interesting Satoshi's spelling of the word "favour" instead of "favor" in "I've been putting it off in favour".

The use of "favour" instead of "favor" is a clear marker of British English or other Commonwealth varieties such as Australian or Canadian English. This spelling is not used in US English.

Title is twisting two cases...

It's confusing because in the beginning of the article it brings up another case where there was a database that was deleted.

In this new case the company is claiming it's only using facial recognition to "activate the purchase interface". There is no data stored.

Seems a way over engineered way to activate the display and is pretty much in place for future use. But in this case there's been no secret database revealed.

I wasn't able to find that quote myself, and I was suspicious because I've skimmed _The Publisher_ in the past (trying to verify a quote about why _Time_ magazine picked red) and the Gemini anecdote doesn't sound like the author or Luce/Hadden. So I pinged the author on Twitter with your comment.

He confirms that the anecdote was confabulated by Gemini, was based on the pg141 story, and he's edited OP to note the error: https://twitter.com/danshipper/status/1761135157036097608

Darien started as a mistake. It evolved into a scam.

As for death and suffering, throughout history even the smallest scams have created suffering. That immigrant who lost his money to a card shark? His family might not eat for a month. That woman who lost money on an investment scam? She might have to take a job that will likely kill her in a few years. And a great many scams were openly violent. Darien was not unique in its resultant suffering.

It’s not though because if you can read the book you don’t need help. The thing most people need help understanding is the intricacies of financing, rates, prepayment, insurance, and warranties that’s not something an average can figure understand .The other part is just getting around the upsell and shopping around. You can research all that online the information is there but most either don’t care to understand or it won’t.

While it is easy to get people to support doing what they already want to do, people's opinions can also be swayed.

Further, while populist movements try to present their positions as widely held by the majority, oftentimes that's a bluff. It's usually the case that populists are really just a vocal minority.

OPTICAL SENSOR

- Count the number of people walking by your machine

- Track age and gender of your customers

- Learn who watches your videos, by location and what time of day

“The facial recognition camera and video display signage on the front of the vending machine can collect data about the customer’s age and gender. Once the data has been sent to the control unit, the data can be combined with other information, such as local weather conditions and time of day. The platform can then send a message back to the video display to trigger targeted promotions to stimulate add-on sales in a single transaction.”

Playing with the code it doesn't fit my use case. It seems like it would be really cool if you have a very narrow use case and that use case doesn't grow. Having your browser parse any scripts you have twice doesn't make much sense. Also, working with eventing would be an interesting problem to solve. I guess you would need to add an element for that, maybe something like `<template type=event>{"my-event": "my event data"}</template>`.

So, it seems like this pattern could probably take you quite a ways. But the main issue I have is that you would need to parse all that JS out twice by the browser. But if you don't have the need for any `script` tags in what you pass back it would be pretty nice.

Also, it wouldn't work for graceful degradation as the server wouldn't know if you need the whole page or a segment. As HTMX adds a header that lets you know that JavaScript is being used by the front end.

Overall, I think it is really cool and it would be neat to see how far you could take this.
I didn't see any watermarks, I think they fixed it. It's so hard!
I watched the trailer and couldn't help but thinking this guy has some amazing talent. I'm curious where he goes after getting his "Space 1999" documentary in the can.

I have mixed feelings about the show. As with pretty much all Gerry Anderson efforts the hardware and effects were top-notch. But the premise is too far fetched for adult me to allow for....

Obviously Brian Johnson and his work were a huge inspiration to the Star Wars model shop and concept artists (and then Brian joining them later, of course).

That the Millennium Falcon and Blockade Runner from Star Wars have radar dishes shows the degree to which everyone involved still had one foot in the "2001" and "Space 1999" modality. (And never mind that Eagle-esque engine cluster in the rear of the Blockade Runner).
haha, completely agree! im still in denial about how terrible and useful seeing the misery splayed out is
There are two ways to interpret this statement. First is that ISA is completely irrelevant since you can just convert to whatever is best. This is bad for RISC since there is literally no advantage gained by losing backwards compatibility.

The other interpretation is that micro ops are actually a microarchitectural optimization and that RISC processors should use it too. The compressed instruction set of RISC-V is leaning towards that direction. RISC-V processors internally convert RISC-V instructions to RISC-V.

It is kind of hollow to talk about it, since it is hardly clear to say that this is a unique disadvantage or advantage.
> It has HUGE blindspots behind the pillars (it's an SUV). They're placed in line with the crosswalk when I'm at a red light. So I have to bob my head around if I want to see anyone about to cross

Doesn't the angle of the pillars help with that?

My SUV is on the smaller side (Honda CR-V) and is also fairly old (2006) so maybe its pillars aren't as big as those on bigger and/or later cars.

My pillars do look pretty big, but because of their angles they actually are much less effective at hiding pedestrians (unless they are walking like a Robert Crumb character [1]) who are close enough that a collision is possible.

For the passenger side front pillar because I'm seeing it mostly from the side its apparent angle is quite far from vertical. If it blocked my view of someone's head their chest and below would be visible. If it blocked their chest their head and their hips would be visible. If it blocked their hips I'd see their chest and head.

For the driver side front pillar I'm seeing it from about equally from the back and side, so its apparent angle is not as far from vertical is that of the passenger front pillar. That does make it better at blocking views of pedestrians.

If the pedestrian is close it still won't be able to block all of them, but with that pillar I think the distance at which it is possible to block all of them is close enough that they could move into range of a collision fairly quickly.

However, because that pillar is close to my head it doesn't take much change in my eye position to make a significant change to the location of the volume of space that is blocked.

In particular I don't have to bob my head. Just rotating it moves my eyes enough that if someone was in the region where they are close enough to be in danger but are blocked from my peripheral vision when looking ahead they would not be in the blocked region when my head is turned to look toward that side.

I've done some tests of this just sitting in a busy parking lot watching as pedestrians walk by or near my car to see if/when I lose sight of them.

> My last car was a 1998 volvo. It had side mirrors that were half convex to give you a wider FOV. I can't believe how much better it is than my 2024 SUV!

My mirrors are flat, but I bought a small stick on convex mirror that I stuck on my driver side mirror. With that when something comes from behind on the driver's side it is always visible in at least one of {center mirror, convex side mirror, flat side mirror}. On the passenger side when something leaves the center mirror it is visible in the side mirror so I didn't need to add a convex mirror.
