I went to a conference focused on self driving cars back in 2019 - even back then, the best talk was from some professor in Florid, who's main point was that you probably don't have an alligator crossing the road in your training data. The point being, you really, really, actually do need nearly an AGI to drive safely. The entire world is out there!
> Why?

Because that method makes it act more like permanent single ownership than something cultural.

> Seems like a perfectly fine way to pay for upkeep of museums, particularly in this case since these are public institutions.

Whether the result is good is different from how far it's pushing, and I think the result sounds like it has the potential to be helpful. But I don't like how closely it ties revenue to the popularity of each museum's specific artifacts, since these are public institutions.

Windows usage has steadily been decreasing, and is now lower than android: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share#monthly-201501-20...

It's also worth realising you've self-selected for tools that work on Windows (e.g. I rarely see Windows simply because the tools I use require UNIX). I don't see Windows going away any time soon (simply because Apple is too expensive), but the rise of mobile devices (e.g. tablets) which cover the needs of basic users mean that it's going to be relegated at some point (as old laptops are replaced by other devices) to being a desktop OS for gamers and business users who require native Windows software (because the web equivalent is too slow/bloated). I expect cheap Chromebooks to replace cheap Windows laptops (as long as Google doesn't screw that up).
> The way we informally talk about programming concepts (like “pass a variable”), and the syntactic choices our languages make (like return x), are almost certainly also sources of confusion. The former can naturally lead students to believe variables are being aliased, and the latter can lead them to believe the variable, rather than its value, is being returned.

There's the problem right there: any informal talk about programming concepts is bound to lead to confusion because informal language is open to interpretation (no pun intended). That's why we have formal definitions for these terms, as well as language specs which define how pass-by-value and pass-by-reference (if applicable) and pass-by-address (if applicable) work in a given language.

Not strictly true. Mutations happen and when they happen early, they can affect a large percentage of the cells in the body.
When I look at the IA terms-and-conditions, I do not see an outcome different from what the original article ('TFA', correct me!) was complaining about.

begin-quote>>

Items donated to the Internet Archive become the property of Internet Archive, and will be recorded as an unrestricted gift. Items are not returnable after donation. We can provide a donation receipt roughly describing the donation back that can be used for tax purposes– but we can not do an appraisal.

For materials that do not fit into our collections for any reason, they are often donated to other non-profits or worthy causes, but sometimes recycled. Rarely are materials sold.

<<<end-quote

So I see nothing in this to suggest anything more than that I can donate my collection in plastic totes, and expect the totes to be re-used.

I'm not complaining, but I am pointing out that expecting more than that isn't what's on offer. The IA and the VCF may need to be more explicit in saying that "giving us your trust means accepting our judgement".

Actually, I think the IA is explicit, just 'diplomatic'.
I understand 6 seconds is a lot of space. My cruise control has a delay before reacting so 6 seconds allows for the car to react and if it’s not to my liking then leaves me with the necessary space to stop. On the highway I usually control my distance by switching between 4 and 6 seconds.

I do have the ground pins mapped out and could share that which should save some time.
Crying Myself to Sleep on the Biggest Cruise Ship
So performance would increase since hashing is faster than binary-searching.

However, the problem of collisions across threads and dealing with concurrent map key insertions still remains. e.g. when two different cities produce the same hash (one at each thread), how can we atomically compare 100 byte city strings and correctly do collision-solving (using linear probe, for example - https://nosferalatu.com/SimpleGPUHashTable.html)

Atomic operations are limited to 32-bits.

Our eternally insatiable urge to learn how things around us work and create new things from that knowledge is what makes us human.

I agree with this - in the US we have nurses picking up doctor roles (e.g. anesthesia), hours-worked caps, PAs (physician assistants) also picking up doctor roles, tons of international physicians coming for underserved specialities (family medicine, pediatrics, psych, etc).

And of course, residents super overworked. I think it speaks for itself that making medicine 2x - 3x more people per year would help the problem. Yes, there's a "sweet spot" where quality of doctors would drop, but there's also a sweet spot where services rendered drop due to overwork, and we're on the far side of that one
Sounds good, although I tried to find a picture by searching and instead found many reports and a special service bulletin about needing a switch replacement because the switch would turn on by itself. Whoops.
Looking at the references on the Wikipedia page, it sounds like this was the 13th V2 launched by GE.

>Explosive charges were then used to achieve warhead blowoff, which was obtained in the third APL [Applied Physics Laboratory] flight, on July 30, 1946. While the warhead itself with its steel-drum recorders was never located, the after- body of the rocket was found in fairly good condition. No tangible scientific results were obtained from those initial flights because of a comprehensive variety of mistakes of omission and commission in the exciting and demanding early learning stages of a new art. Despite that, Van Allen and his team pressed on with their programs, learning rapidly by diagnosis of their failures.

From May 1946 until February 1949, 10 V-2 rockets were instrumented by APL and fired at White Sands. Experiments ranged from preliminary surveys and exploratory measurements of cosmic radiation to investigation of the transition effects of the cosmic radiation in lead, as well as solar spectroscopy and high-altitude photography.

This is often the problem. The bosses impose fad of the day as the next thing to work on and expect everybody to be excited about it. And the fads keep changing year after year. And when the managers try to pass the monkey to software engineers, in my case, engineers do a half-ass job because they don't care about the new fad.

Not for a monetary authority. Given how much drama we have around even our Census Bureau, this gap makes sense. (Also, for every complaint about a given inflation gauge, one increases the parameter and thus bitchable space by orders of magnitude when it comes to COL.)

Is there any path to this scaling beyond one contributor? It sounds like after de Jong stops contributing it will just become frozen.
it's a monopoly end of story

in portugal, public workers are one of the biggest lobbies

medicine

- can't be taught at (non public) private universities

- there's limited growth in class sizes/etc

- it's nearly impossible to get into due to grade inflation at high school, which means only the richer paying for private high school pass it (requires grade 19.x/20 at least)

At the same time, there's 100s of nursing schools (can't be too different can it?), there's way too many nurses and way too few doctors.

We're importing doctors from cuba and other countries to fill the gap.

Some people decide to study abroad (within EU) because yay, you study medicine in eastern europe, you may come back to work in Portugal because EU, and again only the richer people could afford this
Yep, and it'll get worse before it gets better. The boomer wave will (continue to) hit faster than we can grow the system. The best time to fix it was a decade ago when everyone saw it coming, but the second best time is now.
One of the interesting things about real colonialism is that the Europeans had wildly better legal infrastructure, that supported wildly better economic infrastructure, which supported wildly better military technology, which supported colonies.

The proof in the pudding is that Europe's legal structure is unsupportive and hinders software development on the scale of an Apple or a Microsoft. Until they fix that, they are either going to have to do without or use foreign software.

Help on database for efficient group bys
I’m having trouble finding a database that can handle my use case:

Select device_id, min(signal_date_time) from signals
where signal_date_time >= ‘specific_date_time_value’
group by device_id;

There are more where conditions, but essentially I can have millions of rows per device. After my where conditions I know I can have around 100000 devices. I need to be able to do this query in under 1 second for concurrent queries.

So far I’ve tried modeling this in:
- clickhouse
- Postgres
- mongodb

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The PMPP book is great. I reread the histogram chapter after finishing the blog, and realized I could use privatization. You got me!

By coarsening, do you mean making the threads handle more file parts, and reducing the number of private copies (of histogram or stats here) to globally commit at the end?
Certainly. My point is that there isn't an unlimited pool of qualified candidates.

There are things other than academics, but that makes the pool even smaller.

Main issue is we don't have an automated pipeline to update the published tarball/zipfile from our internal source control system, so it has to be done manually, and no one has that as a specific task. We also review the source for IP/security concerns before releasing.

We will probably add a quarterly task to update it, until/unless we start maintaining a public branch and do it automatically.
> To an extent, cellular is a natural oligopoly. Each carrier needs enough spectrum to have decent service. But it isn’t a monopoly.

It's a natural monopoly in exactly the same way any other utility is. "It doesn't make sense to have more than one utility build towers everywhere to create the needed infrastructure." In theory if only one company did it you would only need one set of towers and costs would be lower. But a private monopoly doesn't exactly optimize costs either, and some utilities cost more to duplicate than others. It's much more expensive to have redundant roads than redundant cables running along the same set of utility poles or in the same cable trench, and cell towers are on that end of the range.

The spectrum is a red herring. You could operate live auctions to bid on spectrum in real time in areas of scarcity instead of allocating it permanently to particular companies. This would also give companies the incentive to operate more towers at lower power levels, because you'd only need to bid on spectrum in the same collision domain and lower power levels would cause that to be smaller areas with less contention, lowering their spectrum costs.
Good! Companies need to be called out for this more. For example, Phase One, a very high end digital camera company, started using Linux in their digital backs. They were completely unaware of the impacts of GPL!!! At first they refused, until I literally just linked them the Vizio case by SFC. I got a source download of the (mostly AMD/Xilinx) software the next day :)
I had the misfortune of seeing a squirrel that fell from a 30-foot-tall tree and broke a hip. Fortunately, there was someone who decided to help it survive but it was likely to have died had it been in an area where no one could have helped.

This is really interesting, since WASM has built in float types of course - is there any more detail you can go into / examples you can show us?

There was some sort of bug around it that would affect some people, mostly in the lights not turning off as expected when you turn the car off, IIRC.

> "The only way seems to be interest rates on personal loans and mortgages."

Yes, exactly.

As noted in the article and the underlying study, 80% of car purchases are done via a loan and financing is not part of the inflation measure. When you look at buying a home, most are also done via loans and still financing is not part of the measure. In both cases, interest rates are a factor in affordability and cost.

> Blindly stacking interest rates on top of CPI doesn't really make sense

Well then it's good that's not what they're doing.

I’ve been considering this for my home. I have solar already but with an EV my usage exceeds my generation. Second hand panels like this ones in this article are cheap. I could get a set of those and sting them into an EcoFlow Ultra which has the solar inverter and ~5kWh battery. Then plug an EVSE directly into the 240v plug on the eco flow. Eco flow also has an API so I could get fancy with the software and change what gets charged based on the car or battery charge levels.

It would cost ~$6K. I estimate I’d save about $1500/yr from my electric bill. ROI isn’t great but most home projects have an even worse ROI so I still might do it just for kicks. Would also be nice to have a big Eco Flow battery I could use for other stuff.
> outside of stuff like .. fair use

That's the important bit - the things you called illegal a few comments back were obvious examples of (presumptive) fair use.

More generally, whether something is copyright infringement can be vague and subjective - so the bar for going around saying "yes, that is infringement" is not "does it meet a description I read online?". The bar is: "have courts previously ruled that a very similar case was infringement?".
