Yes, but there’s a difference between what people will pay in advance to prevent one of many low probability catastrophic failures and what they’ll think was worthwhile for someone else to have paid to prevent the one which actually happened.

Those calculations are really hard: say they had built a tunnel, what are the odds of the same number of people dying in a fire after someone crashes into another car? Would we have needed to spend any money at all if more people had used railroad alternatives to driving and such an expensive bridge or tunnel was not justified on traffic grounds?
No, any small, cheapish, refurbished iPhone is much better than I need it to be.
My previous apartments were mostly very near a campus, so that's more or less my point of comparison. I definitely was more upset at entitled college kids than I am about my neighbors today (who I mostly can excuse), but I do think there was a lot less of it.

The bass issue for example has gone from 1-2 times a week to 2-3 times a day, and this is a much lower traffic area. A lot fewer loud parties here, but I think that's mostly a function of age. And yeah, they'd trash their own houses/lawns, but I'm not sure that's even illegal. Here I pick up a small bag of trash from my own property whenever I mow the lawn; nobody once littered in my lawn by campus (I do have about 4x the space where that could happen now).

This is all anecdotal, my experience certainly doesn't override yours. I'd love to see some data, but I can't seem to find anything.

That is precisely how trust region methods work for nonlinear least squares problems and nonlinear systems. MINPACK, which both SciPy and Matlab use, defaults to this kind of TR scheme (without the matrix-free part). We do have TR comparisons in the paper.

Note that we don't however solve the normal form J'J system as that is generally bad (unless user opts in to doing so) and instead use least squares formulation which is more numeraically stable

They're very different, because a future may be dropped before it is polled to completion (aka, cancellation). If you leak it, then the drop handlers are not called, and this can affect program correctness.

It is not unsound for a future to own a reference (in fact it's super common - how else would asnc methods work?). If you leak the future, it can't be polled and it can't be dropped, so any references will never be dereferenced. But also that's a pretty contrived example.

Like you could call std::mem::forget on a future that owns a tokio::sync::MutexGuard and then you'd have some problems with deadlock... but that's not an async issue, it's always incorrect to leak an RAII guard (same as if you leaked std::sync::MutexGuard)

tokio::spawn has a 'static bound because it simplifies things, not because there's some fundamental limitation of futures owning references.
They must be bleeding somewhere because their stock is doing horribly. Record profits and yet investors are not optimistic about it for some reason. Also, I'm not sure if we are taking into account inflation? Like I recorded record income this year personally, but I don't feel very rich. If you look at their google page:

In Germany, you must register your address. This requires a lease and a tenancy confirmation from the landlord. The registration is an important first step in anyone's bureaucratic life.

For reasons not worth going into, you can't register your address sometimes, like when you sublet a person's room without the landlord knowing. This creates a host of problems for immigrants who can't find a regular apartment or room in a flat share. This means that they can't apply for a residence permit, and lose a larger part of their paycheck to income tax prepayments, among other issues.

Basically, if you don't have a registered address, you are not a person. The local government does not recognize your existence as a resident.

I help people settle in Germany, and finding loopholes and workarounds for that problem is a significant part of my work.
Don't worry, I'm aware that people can have different moral frameworks. I'm also totally comfortable saying that if "lying in order to enrich oneself at the expense of others" is not a solid indicator of "bad person" in your moral framework, then you're an asshole.

Note also that "asshole" has different connotations to different people. And yet... still a very useful descriptor to help isolate bad actors from the rest of society.
> she will be able to buy a house if she wants one, the economy will always be good for people who are work smart and hard, etc.

Yeah, I don't think that's true at all. Its just anecdata, but I have several friends in their 30s for which that's just not the case. They're smart and work (harder than I do, just not in tech), but the price of a down payment on a home is going up faster than they're able to save, and they already live relatively frugally. We live in a major metro area, not a particularly expensive one, but the same is true for most of my cousins in the same age range spread across the country.

I feel like my age group (mid 40s) is the last one that could afford home ownership, and me only because I got lucky by working in tech. Other people I know that are better educated and work harder than me are just shut out of the housing market, without some kind of windfall.

>Can you elaborate? Because it's not immediately clear to me the distinction.

Replacing a task with AI that otherwise will be done chemically with environmental degradation or not done at all because people won't or can't-- AI in that context makes things better.

As for attempts to deploy AI as a replacement for sophisticated human work like "automating knowledge work", the output will be worse and it's a race to the bottom on quality. As we see from our algorithmic-driven tech industry friends, robot-led workstreams benefit society only in the short run. In the long run, people come to miss-- and their lives are diminished by-- an absence of quality, humanity, agency, caring, fairness, all the things algorithms cannot and will not ever be or do.

Anyone who is serious about this topic only discusses in terms of AI + humans (as a combination) and not AI as a replacement for sophisticated work. Statements beyond that reflect a lack of appreciation for either the complexity of the topic or for what society actually expects out of a "knowledge" workstream.
A lot of humans would fail such a test.
The main blocking "poverty mentality" is focusing on getting by with what little you have, rather than focusing on producing more.

In generally, it's far easier to earn an extra Dollar than to save one from your budget, especially when you're poor. Working an extra hour is hard, but it's still easier than eating less rice and beans. Getting a job that pays more money is hard, but easier than reducing your rent from $600/mo to $550/mo.

The other mentality one has to break is the hopelessness, which is not at all helped by articles such as TFA here. Believing that past difficulties are inescapably holding you back robs you of the initiative, motivation and agency you could use to actually improve your life. The people who make it out of poverty are the ones who believe that their effort can improve their life.
Current personal suspicion after watching your linked video (excellent discussion by the wgowshipping author) is:

Catastrophic engine failure (1:24) causing wide scale power loss.

No rudder control, rudder drift, and ship alignment drift (1:24-1:25:30)

Power restored and ship reengages prop with bad ship/ruddder alignment (1:25). However, ship is now pushing itself into a further bad turn. Pilot likely stomps the brakes realizing misalignment. Obviously 2-3 minutes is not enough to stop 100,000 tons at 8.5 kts, since it only got to 7.5 kts before crashing. Power loss may have caused total rudder loss.

Similar to a car that hits ice, wheels have arbitrary alignment when they reengage road, when power starts being delivered again, car swerves towards concrete barrier even with brakes. Driver with limited crash experience is mostly just panicking and stomping.

How many pilots, trained or not, really have any experience with a 100,000 ton ship in a crash situation with responses where seconds matter?

Edit: Also, economic disaster for Baltimore.

> (Wiki) The Port of Baltimore generates $3 billion in annual wages and salary, as well as supporting 14,630 direct jobs and 108,000 jobs connected to port work. In 2014, the port generated more than $300 million in taxes. 1st in automobiles, light trucks, farm and construction machinery, imported forest products, aluminum, and sugar. 2nd in coal exports.

Edit2: Bloomberg has an economic look including info on autos. ~$500 million in March 2024 so far. Honda, Mercedes, Subaru likely worst hit. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJmvXiCWkAAgDcE?format=png&name=...

No one explained it in any other comment (yet), so here is the idea:

Google owns your bank's app signing key, which means that they can craft any update for your banking app in a way that it makes it leak the content of your application data. In the case of a bank, this might contain sensitive information: but not necessarily the password / token that is used to access your account as this might be stored in a more secure place like the HW-backed keystore.

Nevertheless, if they have a way to modify your banking app binary without you noticing - they technically have access to your bank account (to the same level the app has).

Would Google ever do this? Probably not, but the risk of a key compromise by a rogue employee is still there.

Is this risk higher than your bank leaking the key? It depends, hopefully the person who has access to Google HSMs is not the same that has the rights to create a new release on the Google Play Store.

The biggest issue I personally see is that we're putting so much trust in Google to basically control all of your apps - but that's sort of already happening on Android because people are generally running Google-flavored Android builds which have privileged Google Play Services.

I do love the US Right's hilariously dishonest obsession with "free speech" and how the rest of the US engages with them as if it is some good faith disagreement.

the Right should also be more worried - requiring the construction of this sort of Technological Autocracy Infrastructure should scare them, since presumably they won't always be in charge. of course the flip side is that a lot of the leaders are Christian Dominionists who aren't worried about that, since they want to end the United States as it currently exists.

anyway, cheery! hope everyone agrees that not letting kids see what Rhianna had for lunch or whatever was worth it.
For Java projects, scripts can be written in a JVM language like Clojure or JRuby. Can still leverage the Java code in the rest of your project, while writing in a more dynamic, interactive language.
IPOPT as mentioned in other posts solves Nonlinear Optimization Problems. Working around it to make it solve nonlinear equations or nonlinear least squares problems typically doesn't go well. We will add benchmarks for the NLLS part (which we don't talk about in the paper) and that will contain IPOPT comparisons.

For some comparison (this is not a benchmark me or anyone on this paper have written), see https://juliapackagecomparisons.github.io/comparisons/math/n.... Specialized solvers for NLLS pretty much always beat general optimization solvers.

Windows 11 changed the OOBE to have users sign in, though this can be bypassed fairly easily if you're tech-literate. Sometimes for installs I'll bypass, other times I'll log in with a Microsoft account, then create a local user, switch to that user, and then delete the computer account for the MS account.

My original comment was that macOS is no better. They require an account for downloading any app on the app store. The Microsoft store does not require one.
Calling the recount of lived/observed experience myopic seems [please see edit] like an attempt to alienate the GP from their experience. At the very least it is at risk of having that effect. While a therapist can help with handling the experience and navigation of this sort of phenomenon, how exactly are they going to alter its occurrence or effects? Will the therapist be refunding the lost salary? Will the therapist rewrite time to provide that promotion that was missed? Will the therapist inspire love or even camaraderie in the heart of the missed relatee?

In my experience these sorts of behaviors are pervasive, as noted they are subconscious, and their impacts are very real. The biggest problem is that you need to avoid expressing your needs and sidestep the headwind while additionally dealing with the emotional impacts while being expected to over deliver relative to peers.

[edit: I'm sorry. Some challenging topics here. Rather than visiting your intentions, I should ask: do you want these types of experiences not to be a part of hidden worlds around you?]

This was the most infuriating crap I've seen on a website in a while
https://flatcal.com - a service which will allow to consolidate multiple calendars into a single one for easy sharing with others. For people who organize their time in separate calendars by choice or by necessity. F.e. having personal Google Calendar, corporate Outlook Calendar for work, and maybe another one for freelance. No AI involved, just a good, old processing pipeline. Which makes the service pretty flexible and allow to pre-process the events before merging them into a new calendar, i.e. anonymize events, change their type, filter them out, add some buffer time for rest, etc.
I remember being in a conversation back in 2002 or so, where some Smalltalkers were brainstorming over the idea of controlling the IDE and debugger with voice.

It just so happens, that many of the interfaces one has to deal with are somewhat low bandwidth. (For example, many spend most of their time stepping over, stepping into, or setting breakpoints in a debugger.) Code completion greatly cuts down the number of options to be navigated second to second. It seems like the time has arrived for an interactive voice operated AI pair programmer agent, where the human is taking the "strategic" role.
Mood is too coarse of a filter - I have a feeling in mind that I want the book to help me amplify, not an overall mood. E.g. feeling adventurous vs. "excited".
My ancestors are forgotten to time, as I suspect are most peoples'. How many do you think can name all eight (theoretically) of their great-great grandfathers? I certainly cannot. And that is not exactly ancient history.

As far as extrapolating my current choices effect on my descendants, nothing could be simpler; I have none and so there will be no effect on them. This is something that brings me much peace. I do wish that people with or without children would take better care of this planet, since I find the continued degradation of it to be the most depressing aspect of modern life, but I would think that parents in particular would be more future oriented.

Their software used to crash a lot more for me 5-10 years ago but these days it's pretty solid in this regard.

It used to feel super bloated too but since Apple Silicon it's been working great in terms of perf for me.

> And in many ways Designer is leagues better.

In what ways?

Genuinely interested. I've been using vector graphics software since Corel Draw 4 and Illustrator still seems the gold standard. Figma is great for UI design but it's useless for anything else.

I do think Photo is a lot more usable than Designer and I could see myself using that instead of Photoshop.

I've started to notice that the vagueness/terseness of a vendor's subject line is directly proportional with how bad the update will be.

"Updates to our ______ project" will usually mean that the project is shutting down, shifting to a paid model, or is being acquired (after which point we can expect it will switch to a paid model, then shut down)."

"An update about ______ company" in general usually means they're announcing a bunch of layoffs.

"An import notification about _____ accounts" usually means they've been hacked.
I am an adult and I have the same concerns. Went to a top university, got a decent job, found a partner who also has a decent job and don't use social media much. Still don't think we would be able to own a home for a while, every time we get close to the financial ability to buy a house, the goal post moves. The economy has always been up and down. We've both seen harsh times economically when companies let people go on a whim. Healthcare is a nightmare. You could have a good job/health insurance most of your life and could be out of one for just a couple months, and if an incident happens in that period, you set yourself back by years in terms of savings. The environment keeps getting worse, considering we actually saw the things get worse in the last 30 years with our own eyes. There is just a perpetual fight to keep your quality of life consistent. Working hard and smart is no longer enough.

D'oh, yes. But "supporting" Israel has been a very-consistently-winning policy for elected officials. Could you point out any area of domestic or foreign policy where America's politicians are willing to forego an electoral advantage for the actual long-term benefit of the country?
What you are proposing isn't feasible from an engineering perspective. This isn't like putting a guard rail up.

To make damage from collisions "impossible" you'd have to build embankments up so high that the bridge would effectively be sitting on solid ground the entire way across and no ships could pass anywhere.

Sure, there are ways to mitigate collisions and the new bridge they build will no doubt be more resilient, but it's not realistic to completely eliminate such risk.
> opting for cashback

For cashback it depends where you live.

In the US, cashback will be likely be wholly or significantly funded by the Interchange Fee that the merchant receives.

The Interchange Fee is the fee the card issuing bank "skims off the top" from the fee the merchant is charged for taking your card.

In the US, interchange typically around the 2% mark. In the rest of the world its more like 0.2%, hence you can only really fund your loyalty programme out of interchange in the US.

Other sources of revenue the card provider can use are any annual fees they charge the customer, any penalties they charge the customer, and of course interest fees charged to cardholders who do not pay off their balance.

If your card company also runs a points scheme, then they can get extra revenue by selling points, either to you directly so you can "top-up" your balance, or in bulk to third-party companies who wish to offer points promotions.

> Like, who's paying for the flights? Consumers, merchants, airlines, banks?

If you are asking specifically about points-accrual card loyalty schemes where the cardholder accrues points which they can then use at a later date for flights, then that is all magical smoke and mirrors.

It boils down to the careful stage management of our old friends supply and demand.

Supply:

The card issuer issues your points. This sits on their balance sheet as a liability (the points are assigned a dollar value).
i.e. at this stage it costs them nothing in terms of hard-cash, just a small technical accounting reduction in profits

When you "buy" your airline ticket on points, the liability crosses the balance sheet (the company raises an invoice to you which is paid with the points).

Demand:

This is where the other half of the magic happens. The company makes sure to limit the ability for you and everyone else to redeem points.

You will have seen this if you have ever tried to book a flight based on 100% points, you'll find very limited availability.

Of course you will have seen companies offer you to pay "part-cash/part-points", but if you look closely, the "exchange rate" on offer is generally very poor value for money.
There is selection bias in their ownership experience. But I really concur. Microsoft hardware is better than stock Chinese PC hardware, but still not as good as Apple hardware (all produced in China).
