The fundamental problem with public transit in most of the US that has it is that it's not the best option. And when it's not the best option, you get a selection bias towards passengers that most passengers wouldn't want to ride with. Which encourages more people to take other options. Rinse repeat.

I like BART. It's actually really convenient, connecting where I live, where I work, and where a bunch of my friends live. Unfortunately, I have a negative experience upwards of half the time I ride it. Sometimes, it's minor, just some person talking nonsense to themselves in the corner. Whatever, puts me on edge because I lose confidence that this person won't transgress social norms in more extreme ways, but I can live with it. Sometimes the entire car smells like a latrine. Sometimes it's a dude laying across the aisle pleasuring himself. Also not going to kill me, but also is something I'd rather avoid, and absolutely can by not riding public transit.

Uber, by contrast, I only have to worry about the driver making me uncomfortable, and that's relatively rare. Maybe 1 in 10 rides will involve a driver either driving like a maniac, or reeking of BO.

With Waymo, there are none of those issues. Hop in a vehicle, it's clean, it drives safely, and there's no naked lunatics.
You can introduce multiple types of changes, for example: addition at the end, removal of N characters from the end, and complete string replacement, etc. Then for each change you can calculate which type is more efficient to store.

Yeah, and those rain screens have a million staple holes in them right? Unless you seal every fastener hole with some sealant that will last 100 years, which I'm pretty sure would be a magical product, I sincerely doubt a modern house will be standing as long as mine is.

Modern plastic paint, modern plastic building wrap, all these ideas of basically living inside a plastic hamster cage, they suffocate the living material (wood) that needs to breathe, and that allows rot and mold. The water eventually finds its way in because rain screen tape can't hold up for 50 years, the water gets in and has no good way to get out.
It depends on what you consider obscure, I guess. A planet is a /32, a star is a /16, a galaxy is an /8. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing...

Moons are the /0 subdomain you get with a /32 aka planet, and comets are the 64 bits of free address space left over in the 128 bits of address width. To create a comet, you make a public-private keypair where the public key hash doesn't collide with owned address space. If you miss, you spin up another keypair and keep going until you get one.

That's really the whole thing. These things need names, as evidence, I present the fact that in IPv4, they have names. To my taste "slash eight" is more obscure than "galaxy", your mileage may vary.
I would frame it more like this:

"Can you show it's actually encrypted?"

Yes, we ensure that the data is only available via TLS foo.bar with encryption algorithm baz, which is on the approved list. We have monitoring and logging that ensure that we receive an alert if the port the app is on is not encrypted, and if you'd like we can dump the traffic to show you that there is no clear text available.

Further, only users on the approved admin list can make a change or deploy to production, or login to the server as root. Moreover, we do a background check on employment for all users who have admin access, and all deployments and code changes require at least one other employee to approve them, and we log who they were, and what the change was.
it is more than to simply maintain control over user experience; it also has to do with the adtech fingerprint id... all the "free" services are provided by their ability to track you and offer those ads

I just bought a zoom h6 to act as an audio interface for a summer project. Not the best preamps, but a lot cheaper than dedicated interface, portable, and comes with stereo mics. It never occurred to me there might be a proprietary interface or lack of driver support on Linux. For some reason, I just assumed there was some standardized hardware/software interface because… the audio world seems more serious and less nonsensical than the software one I guess, at least from my early impressions of it

Edit: the h6 does appear to work on Linux, according to Reddit . The audio world continues to impress
Seeing a bike and recognizing a bike are two different things with self driving cars. I like OP's idea of having a visual cue that it recognized a bike.

It's not about that. You could say that about doing business with them on anything whatsoever. If you buy their plastic toys they could use the profits to build tanks.

The problem here is that they're giving you a device you're putting in a sensitive place containing opaque binary computer code that could be doing anything, which customers can't feasibly replace with their own or audit because they don't have the source code.

What future common charging solutions? You mean the ones which are illegal to sell? Bit of a chicken and egg dilemma, mes non?
>but I thought stop-and-go city driving was something everyone could agree on as being worthwhile to eliminate.

It's mixed. Driving is both a career and a pastime/hobby. I can certainly see a long term (30+ year) shift to AI driving being a hindrance to the latter, even if the efficiencies would be massive (e.g. there wouldn't be such thing as "stop and go city driving" to the extent of modern day driving. Stop and go is a product of inefficient human sensors and signalling).

As a career, yes. It probably won't exist in 20 years at this rate.

> There's no doubt that there's a benefit to the employee, but for corporations to adopt this there has to be a measurable benefit to the company as well.

This assumes that the company and employees must have adversarial priorities. This is only true if that’s how the company wants to be structured

Employee owned companies have no such adversarial structures

The fact that a large number, not all, of billion dollar companies are not employee owned, is not a proof that it’s the optimal way to run a company. It’s only optimal for Capital

In fact most companies are employee owned if for no other reason than they are small LLCs you don’t know the name of but are, for example, driving your FedEx packages around.

What does this mean?
We do not have a culture of preventative medicine and we have weak labor laws. You need opioids to work with a bad back, knee, etc and you'll be out on the street if you don't work.
I agree. I've learned to not care when people say 'expresso' instead of 'espresso', and 'ex cetera' instead of 'et cetera'. I know what they mean, you know what they mean, and correcting everyone only serves to alienate others.
If you insist on sci-fi analogy, then try protomolecule from The Expanse. Or a runaway grey goo scenario triggered by a biotech or nanotech accident.

Artificial general intelligence is not a stick you can wield and threaten other countries with. It's a process, complex beyond our understanding.
I hope so, the fact that attackers can hide behind international borders is an eternal thorn in the side of us blue teamers. Anyone who commits a crime in another country should be subject to that country seeking legal redress.
Do you know who else does not like people? Most people. "Most people" suck, hence why people spend so much money and such a premium trying to isolate from other people, like gated neighborhoods, private colleges and schools, flying business/private, stadium box seating, etc. People engineer their lives around the avoidance of other, less desirable people. It's hardly only a billionaire problem .
I like how every link is a scientific article or such and there is a Easter egg with “don’t despair” ;)
The US government has jurisdiction over all US dollars. That's how sanctions work.
If so, it’s working. Now all the commenters who assume that Apple is doing the worst thing possible at all times are praising the EU for forcing Apple to save PWAs.
Otherwise they’d be complaining about how Apple was intentionally crippling PWA support by not letting you pick the rendering engine used.
> But despite that caveat, there do exist frameworks out there today that speed up development for some developers.

Of course. But there also exist frameworks that will slow development down. For any X in {frameworks, languages, operating systems, libraries} there exist X's that will be helpful and X's that will not, and so "use an X" by itself is not helpful advice for any X. You have to use a good X, but that isn't helpful either because it just begs the question.
I always assumed it was internal metrics or a requirement the tool its fed into.

If it was man, keep in mind that "man ohman" is essentially "nroff -man /usr/share/man/man1/ohman.1 | $PAGER" so you're not interacting with man or nroff but a pager. Nowadays, less (or more, which is probably actually less) is the most common pager but there were others and HPUX may have used something like pg.

pg was an AT&T thing, more was a BSD thing, less was a GNU thing. With all 3, / starts a regular expression search so you could use that to search for anything, underlined or not.

Less also supports tag files so you could use 't' to jump to the next tag.
Have you accepted Jesus into your life yet?
Yes, but even with that interpretation, they claimed something much stronger:

> The encoded value can change any time you re-compile your program

Any value (not just enums) can change any time you re-compile your program, if some programmer goes in and messes it up.

The real, much softer criticism would be that Go requires its programmer's to understand the potential consequences of inserting or shuffling enum values (where iota is involved). It's a much weaker case against iota than what they stated.
General advice, true for most people. But for some people, the only way they reliably lose weight is through increased exercise.
Unfortunately you can also easily show that they ARE doing these things too.

Open source. Check - they have open source software available.

Private Gain of any person. Check (Not hard to see it's a non-profit. People that make private money from a non-profit is obviously excluded) Now to me, personally, I think all non-profits are for-profit enterprises. The "mission" in nearly all cases isn't for the "people it serves". I've seen so many "help the elders" "help the migrants" but the reality is, money always flows up, not to the people in need.
He seems to broadly pursue projects he considers helpful to humanity like sustainable energy, the multiplanetary thing and setting up OpenAI. You can interpret people's motivations in different ways but it doesn't look like just power gathering to me. I mean if he was that power hungry you'd expect him to try to monopolize AI for himself rather than make it open.
Mutation observer is pretty easy once you get used to it, just look for data you care about and ignore the rest.

Alternatively, I think slotting raises an event, so you could use js to remove the pre-existing content when new content gets added
>But maybe I’m just one of those extroverts who doesn’t mind being around people.

Maybe. I had a very boring experience overall with mine. I wouldn't have noticed if they were replaced with bots. That could be my lack of extroversion (or maybe getting all introverts myself. Few gave a vibe of wanting to chat. Just a job, after all).

But for the short term, I'm paranoid right now about autonomous driving because it is far from technologically sound. Probably more sound than the average driver, but we know that we hold tech a lot more accountable than humans. humans hold liability in human issues, companies are liable for tech issues and have the money to spend to fight any issues that arise (as we can see in real time with Tesla).
I have an existing workflow where I take JPEGs (giant PNGs) from designers and reencode them using mozjpeg. However, I can't find a way to invoke jpegli tool in the same way, especially since it seems to just be part of the jpeg-xl tool? Is that right? Are there any sample invocations anywhere?
> they aren't messy, they're fully defined. Integer overflow in safe Rust works just like Java: the numbers wrap around.

That is both fully defined and messy. They are not mutually exclusive. It means there are integers where n+1 is less than n. That is messy. No integers that I learned about in math class work like that.

The only two non-messy well-defined behaviours are 1) bignums by default like in Python, but not suitable for a low level language like Rust; or, 2) trap on overflow, like Ada is supposed to do though it is usually shut off by a pragma. Both of those have significant runtime cost.
Stupid question but? Fake red LEDs that have battery backup in every security camera?

Seems cheap and effective.
Yep, 20% in to pension would be huge
So much of the discussion here is about being a non-profit, but per your quote I think the key is open source. Here we have people investing in an open source company, and the company never opened their source. Rather than open source technology everyone could profit from, they kept everything closed and sold exclusive access. I think it is going to be hard for OpenAI to defend their behavior, and a huge amount of damages to be claimed for all the money investors had to spend catching up.
Varies. Sometimes it's lower, sometimes it's about the same, sometimes it's higher for some reason. It really just depends.

I'm an experienced Data scientist, who's worked on a bunch of interesting projects. With Covid I've come to realize I need to work in public more often.

So an ideal fit would be a small/medium company with hair on fire problems that need solving that I can talk about publicly.

What sort of problems do I like?

A Taxi company in latam hired me to built a fleet maintenance system. It predicted and scheduled preventative maintenance to reduce wear and tear and avoid breakdowns. We also identified the leading cause of wear - leadfoot drivers. So we built a system that would identify aggressive driving.

Another example was a speculative sports highlights annotation system I built with a consultancy. It ingested sports video and identified predetermined highlights in baseball - diving catches in our case. The ML pipeline was a CNN model which fed into an RNN. Given a bunch of video clips of diving catches as training data, it could later identify those diving catches and automatically annotate the video feeds.

Who shouldn't contact me.

If your market is Ads or gambling I'm not interested. Sure there's lot of money, but I'd rather sleep at night. Thanks.
I don't have any particular objection to via ferrata, and all of my first ascents have eschewed fixed protection. I'm pretty sure one's never seen a repeat because of that.

Its certainly worth pointing out that both Half Dome in Yosemite and Angels Landing in Zion feature VERY popular quasi-via ferrata as the primary descent route for famous and historic routes like the Regular Northwest Face of Halfdome, or Prodigal Sun on Angels Landing. And we're completely ignoring the role artificial holds play at Mesa Verde, both the ladders and hand rails installed by the NPS, and the surviving Anasazi installations.

The environmentalist argument against fixed gear or chipping, or via ferrata, always seemed pretty hollow to me, given that not many people are objecting to the trail building to get to the crag, or the frequently heavy cleaning that happens to remove loose rock and lichen and things to make a climb safer during the development (which happens even with routes completely bereft of fixed equipment). Nobody complains about the establishment of descent trails, or leaving slings to strangle trees, even as those have a much greater impact on the environment than a few dozen bolts, or even a few hundred pounds of metal handles and steel cable.

There's a fair argument, amongst climbers, about whether or not fixed anchors, or chipping, or via ferrata is sporting, but "sporting" is only a valid restriction for people playing the same game as you. But if there are no established routes on that rock, and you own the rock in question, who has a right to complain? I don't want to see them on public land, certainly, but on the continuum of human impact to rock faces, via ferrata is a lot closer to leaving only footprints than the roads through Zion or Yosemite, or Mt. Rushmore, or an open pit mine.
Subsidizing public transit to make it affordable is a terrible idea. If you want good public transit with stable funding, you must build it primarily for the middle class. For people who pay more taxes than they receive benefits and who could choose to drive instead.

Driving has high fixed costs and low marginal costs. If you have a car anyway, using it for yet another trip is cheap. If you want to make public transit competitive with driving, you must make the fares low enough. That often means paying a substantial fraction of the expenses from taxes. But why would you do that? Because once a city grows large enough and dense enough, public transit becomes cheaper than car infrastructure. Because it requires less subsidies than driving.

Ten years in industry. I was #90 at Twitch and grew it to its $1B Amazon acquisition. I've been successful backend and full stack. Very experienced in Go and Ruby on Rails.

I have a special eye for increasing developer velocity. I thrive in small companies with teammates who trust each other, where I can wear a lot of hats and have autonomy to solve pressing issues without much process.
