There is no such thing as funding and wait for it to be ready.

I once worked for a company that was building among other things a videoconference app. The quality of the product only really started to increase when employees were sent home during covid and they started using their own tool.
My point is that companies start to collect data; either for debug purposes or to try and better understand the customer.

Then there is a lot of pressure to monetize the data. So from a consumer POV, it is better to not have anything collected.
This reeks of bad faith. If you care to change that, be less vague in your off-topic accusation and don't require me to gather your sources for you.
From looking at it on street view it appears to be a narrow (if paved) sidewalk that's shared with pedestrians, and the only way to cross traffic is to trigger multiple traffic lights (per crossing!) to halt traffic so that cyclists and pedestrians can safely cross, and resorting to traffic lights means that you've given up on any traffic benefits of a roundabout in the first place.

To any budding civil engineers out there, please only consider roundabouts in the following circumstances:

1. Traffic is light enough that the roundabout can be a single lane. No multi-lane roundabouts in populated areas with pedestrian crossings!

2. Traffic is remote enough that there are no pedestrians or cyclists to worry about, in which case, feel free to go crazy with your multi-lane roundabouts.

The Great Lakes region of the US and Canada is a truly special place when it comes to fresh water. The experiences in this area can't be extrapolated to elsewhere. You can get hypothermia in the middle of a summer heatwave if you spend too much time in the water more than 1km from the shore. Even if you stay at your local beach, most people would find the water uncomfortably cold. In Chicago today, the high temperature is going to be around 18° or 19° C. The surface temperature of the water at the beach is slightly less than 4° C.
There is no false dichotomy because we absolutely should be reducing our emissions as much as possible and I never said otherwise, it's just that it probably won't be enough to achieve any significant cooling effect in a reasonable time scale to prevent the scenario described in TFA. It's possible we will see mass death in the coming decades due to extreme heat events. I am just saying we should be preparing alternative courses of action rather than putting all our eggs in the hope basket.

It depends what the book is. For science fiction (or fantasy) stories like this, it's pretty common. And many are actually pretty active on social media as well.

Probably the most well known example is Neil Gaiman who is extremely active on tumblr, at least prior to Elon used to be extremely active on twitter, and would regularly drop into discussions of their works.

Other notable examples (albeit less active) off the top of my head include James S.A. Corey (Daniel Abraham and Ty Frank) and Andy Weir.
A service I am aware of has HTTP streams. Video on Demand streams are rate limited by the server to a fixed rate, which is sometimes significantly under the peak bitrate of the file; and the recommended player device doesn't have a large enough buffer for that.

That's 100% a service provider issue.

Live streams have some issues too, but I haven't debugged those. On the other hand, ESPN+ live streams aren't exactly five nines of quality either.

The distance between Earth and Neptune oscillates with a period of about one year because Neptune moves around the sun much slower than the Earth does. The Earth-Neptune distance oscillates between about 29 AU and 31 AU.

I checked your calculations and I get similar numbers. I don't think that tens of thousands of layers of encryption is a problem: a modern computer can store that many private keys with no problems. In fact, it should probably store three copies of each one, or do something to account for random bit flips.
It's an ironic appellation of the term. The Brexiteers may want to be a world-striding UK, but the UK doesn't have that clout. In leaving the EU, they left one of the entities that did have that clout (in the rare moments that the EU could find a unified voice).

I'm sure some people are delighted by this. My take on it is that this is the bed the YES voters made, and now they are lying in it. I don't get any pleasure from rubes being duped, but it's also hard to have sympathy for them. They had an opportunity to think about this before voting, they had all kinds of people talking about the consequences, and they went right ahead with voting YES anyway.

I wish everyone could have critical thinking & reasoning skills, but since that isn't the world we live in, highlighting the after effects of decisions like this feels like the responsible thing to do for the next time a hugely consequential bill is introduced. We don't need to mock the people affected, but pointing out the completely foreseeable outcomes as they're happening is still important.

Reddit seems to have well and truly jumped the shark. Most of their communities are barely moderated wastelands. Bot activity is absolutely rampant. It had a golden age, but I have no idea how this survives in the post LLM world.
>The thing that really changed my mind was realizing that the phrase "information wants to be free" just means "intellectual labor will be free."

That's one take. My alternative take is "humans will leak and speak of this knowledge (information) because it's interesting or important to them."

Your take implies free labor as a natural extension of this information liberty, but it does not need to be that way.
Energy/resources can't vote, but they can fund campaigns easier than labor. There's also some complications around taxing energy/resources since some businesses operate on thin margins. Not that taxing labor is simple, but taxing energy isn't as simple as tacking on a tax per kWh.

Eg smelting aluminum is extremely energy intensive and important (gotta recycle those cans), but I bet their margins are awful and further I would bet that "energy/resources" comprises the majority of their expenditure (that basically only leaves wages as untaxed).

It's certainly not impossible, it's how we did taxes up til the New Deal, but we would need to be very careful not to crash essential, energy-intensive industries like metal smelting.
It's possibly that I was notified, and missed it.

I used to agree. But people are creatures of habits.
There is a well-known "large" roundabout near Copenhagen often called the IKEA roundabout. Obviously next to IKEA but still so known that it has a "popular" name.
It has large overhead signs. On road signage. Traffic and street lights. The overhead signs show that you should take the left most lane to go left. Two middle lanes for straight ahead. And a breakout lane to the right which goes right. It is all very easy to understand and logical.
But the number of lanes and the fact it is so busy it is regulated with traffic lights makes people very uncomfortable. As I find it very logical and easy to navigate I have come to my own conclusion that it is because this type of roundabout is unusual and uncommon around here.
You will notice peoples lizard brain set in. They are scared they cannot exit so they clearly choose the outer-most of the 2 straight ahead lanes. And dangerous situations when people who needs to go left take the outer lane because you can "always" do that in a roundabout (but not here!).
And for further anecdotal evidence this has come up several times in conversations and people have stated they do not like it.

You can see it here:

To give you an example, these are often used in CNC machines.

Before you had to have:

A. a PLC that ran logic with real time guarantees to tie everything together. The PLC is often user-modified to add more logic.

B. Decoders that processed several mhz encoder feedback signals, somewhere between 3 and 10 of these.

C. Something that decides what to do with the data in B

D. Encoders and motor driving, also being output at several mhz (somewhere between 3 and 10 of these as well)

Among other tasks.

These were all separate chips/boards/things that you tried to synchronize/manage. Latency could be high. But if you are moving 1200 inches per minute (easy), 100 milliseconds latency is equivalent to losing track of things for 2 inches. Enough to ruin anything being made.

Nowadays it is often just an FPGA hooked up to a host core.

(or at a minimum, a time-synchronized bus like ethercat)
If anything the real lesson here is that you shouldn't try to lift your functions manually in the presence of a Monad. Monads tend to be somewhat 'infectious' in that anything that touches the Monad will need to be monadic. It's the reason why 'nullable' and 'async' can end up transforming most of the code-base to support their use.

And if you are going to write a sum type do it properly. If the language doesn't provide sum types but does have function types just use the category theory definition:

function maybeWithUser<T>(withUser: User => T, default: () => T): T {
if (!loggedIn) return default()
return withUser(fetchUser());
}

Wrap this in a class if you really want to, but the idea is the same. This then results in pretty much the code he lists in example 1, exactly because most of the functions are just regular functions:

function Page() {
const bestFriends = maybeWithUser(user => {
const friends = getFriends(user);
const bestFriends = filterBestFriends(friends);
return render(bestFriends);
}, null);
return <>
{bestFriends}
</>;
}

Of course sometimes it's better to just use what you have rather than try to use language features that aren't quite there. It helps if you can recognise what's going on though.
I think you may be mixing me up with vkou...?

My premise is, purely and simply, that you are conflating multiple things that are not the same.
I'd argue that this has nothing to do with Bauhaus because this district was planned to have 90% social housing. Of course cramping 30k+ low income workers (or unemployed people) into a small space is going to cause trouble.

And if I remember correctly the original plans were changed and the buildings ended up much higher and denser to meet the goals of the city.

Edit: Found this article which states that the plans were modified by Wils Ebert, Gropius had no say in this. https://www.goethe.de/ins/au/en/kul/arc/bau/21319032.html

Thanks for posting the giant roundabout. Whatever is happening in the original could’ve been avoided entirely.

My state and surrounding counties have been on a roundabout build spree and it’s really awesome. The only one near me with 2 lanes on one side hand to go back down to single lanes because drivers couldn’t understand one lane was for going “straight” and one was for looping around to another exit.

At least in my area in central Europe, 10°C would be wildly optimistic in summer. I also presume when submerged in cold water, your body will start heating up, at first. So there is probably only a narrow temperature window for effective cooling. Not to mention, you may have to work and be awake to exchange the water, and being constantly wet for a prolonged time may come with it's own set of health problems.

I imagine there could be a situation with a deadly wet-bulb temperature, but below body temperature, where a large body of water may work to cool the body by convection, no?

Everyone thinks they are familiar with the Dunning Kruger effect.
Probably 95% of people get it wrong.

[I am not a psychologist, but here is my summary of how I think the real effect works...

Let's say we have a skill we can be assessed on a scale of 1-10. 1 is worst, 10 is best.

The popular perception of the Dunning Kruger effect is that people lower on the scale, say 2 or 3, rate themselves highly - say 7 or 8. And people who are higher - say a 7 or 8 - rate themselves more modestly - say a 5 or 6. i.e. people who are less skilled rate themselves as being better performers than people who are better.

The actual effect is a lot weaker, and a kind of reversion to the mean. If you are a 2 or 3 you may rate yourself a 4 or a 5. If you are a 7 or an 8 you may rate yourself as only a 6 or a 7. Less skilled people are well aware that they are less skilled, but may underestimate the degree of the effect.]

I can vouch for Haystack and I'm very happy to see this news. I have started using it to build my company internal RAG platform. It feels way more confortable than using other LLM orchestration looks like LangChain or LllamaIndex, they always felt way too bleeding edge for me with too many breaking changes.

Reading and working with Haystack code was a pleasure and I could even contribute a few time to solve some of my issues or missing features ! A very good foundation for building LLM app. Also it's backed by a company called DeepSet and Haystack exists for multiple years so I guess it's here to stay :)

It’s also difficult to determine if someone is speeding from data.

For example the road I live off of according to the speed limit the car thinks goes from 40 to 65 to 25 to 65 to 40 in about a 4 mile span. Spoiler it does not. It is 40 the whole way. But according to the car I am either going 25 under, 15 over, or exactly the right speed.

(And the 65 section in the middle? Blind corner. Idk where it’s getting its data but it is very very wrong)

Some Thoughts on Quantitative Easing and Quantitative Tightening
I do think there's an empirical study of ML models and that could be a science. Its output could include things like,

"the reason prompt Q generates A1..An is because documents D1..Dn were in the training data; these documents were created by people P1..Pn for reasons R1..Rn. The answer A1..An related to D1..Dn in so-and-so way. The quality of the answers is Q1..Qn, and derives from the properties of the documents generated by people with beliefs/knowledge/etc. K1..Kn"

This explains how the distribution of the weights produces useful output by giving the causal process that leads to training data distributions.

The relationship between the weights and the training data itself is *not* causal.

Eg., X = 0,1,2,3; Y = A,A,B,B; f(x; w) = A if x <= w else B

w = 1 because the rule x <= 1 partitions Y st. P(x|w) is maximised. These are statistical and logical relationships ("partitions", "maximises").

A causal relationship is between a causal property of an object (extended in space and time) to another causal property by a physical mechanism that reliably and necessarily brings about some effect.

So, "the heat of the boiling water cooked the carrot because heat is... the energetic motion of molecules ... and cooking is .... and so heating brings about cooking necessarily because..."

heating, water, cooking, carrot, motion, molecules, etc.. -- their relationships here are not abstract; they are concretely in space and time, causally effecting each other, etc. etc.
