I read somewhere that the estimated value of a fictional bar of gold-pressed latinum (from Star Trek) was about $4000 in today's dollars. However, the gold in the bar would be worth $100,000.

So if some time traveler from the Federation gives you some bars of that stuff, just separate out the latinum (maybe some physicists will want it?) and sell the gold.
The stupidity of the accessory controls was a huge turnoff for me.

Sure, I might get use to them, but I also drive other, normal cars. I don’t want to have to think about my Teslas blinkers being different than literally everything else.
No to all those questions! Especially the dark past! :-)

Whoever pays more currently, right? So it can be uniform random and folks can pay for better than random chance, etc.
I've read somewhere that part of the method they intuited their way was to read the waves. As faraway land masses can affect the shape of waves, supposedly these navigators could "see" beyond the horizon due to how the swell was behaving.

I can sort of see that in a mind's eye, with rings of waves spreading as they bounce off obstacles in water. But that's bird's view of a miniature -- and seeing that from the surface would be a very different story.

But are you allowed to sell it? I'd think it still belongs to NASA. If an airplane flies over your house and drops an engine into your back yard, you can't just auction it off but have to hand it over to the authorities. Or if someone – accidentally or not – throws his Rolex watch into your window. He'll have to pay for the damage, but the object is still his property.

A three solar mass black hole is still only ~13km across. Not full-stop-sized, but closer to that than the diameter of the sun.
That sounds fascinating, but it's not really clear to me how imagining islands beyond the horizon can help with dead reckoning. Maybe there are changes in observable phenomena, such as ocean currents, that are associated with these unseen islands? It does sound like a very complex system based on the beginning of this article; I'm wondering if anyone here has read the books mentioned in it: https://www.jstor.org/stable/20705519

if you read the large theory papers on human-computer LLM interfaces, the people who build these are genuinely worried about "harm" . Impolitely, it appears from the outside that the kind of researchers that they have attracted over a decade to do this fantastically tedious and abstract work, are covered in emotional illness symptoms personally, and developed a culture of incessantly declaring "harm" in every shadow of every corner; at the same time, corporate black-hearts have money on the mind, and are genuinely worried about "harm" in the form of consumer retaliation in the marketplace, massive legal liability for civil rights blunders, and losing the sweet spot to a competitor; then government at the executive level, at the Nation-State, are obsessing about obtaining and implementing AI for competitive advantage against just about every other group of people you can name -- as long as no one can prove that they implemented "harm" while getting unprecedented competitive advantages at scale over populations of unwitting civilians, their geopolitical rivals, and probably other political types of a different stripe.

So no, it is not "bs jobs" at all .. but worse
> There is a pretty fundamental limit to it, called the "sampling theorem". You simply don't have enough available bandwidth for the cell wireless to replace the wired connections, even in moderately dense environments.

I live in Singapore which is denser than basically any place in the US, and people are obsessed with their phones. Mobile bandwidth works just fine.

I suspect your underwhelming 5G experience could be related with cells in your area being rather big, so they had many people in them? If you have a higher density of people, you need a higher density of cells.

> After all, don't we all have 10 different tap water and sewage providers?

Try starting up a new tap water or sewage provider. I don't think the government will let you.

In any case, providing new 'last mile' connectivity whether with wires or with water pipes is hard to make work economically, if someone else is already there with an established service. (So in that sense I agree that last mile connectivity does have network effects. Though I wouldn't classify things binary into 'natural monopoly' or not; it's a spectrum.)

In any case, that's why I was emphasising the different wires we already have (cable tv, plain old phone cables, power line, and in some places optical fibre, etc) and the wireless options (3G, 4G, 5G, wifi, satellite, and the more directed exotic microwave transmission, etc). I probably missed a few.

If you can sort out the last mile, or you can piggy back on some already existing last mile, the tendency for what you call 'natural monopoly' drops a lot.

If there's insufficient competition in the US, perhaps don't blame 'nature'.
To what timing do you refer? This has been an ongoing effort for a couple years now.
This article is true but does a poor job of explaining itself.

SGML was invented at IBM before it became an ISO standard. It's purpose is right in the name, Standard Generalized Markup Language. HTML is an application of SGML (this is what IBM called use cases). XML is another application of SGML. It's fair to say Tim invented the HTML application.

Hyperlinks weren't invented by Berners-Lee. If Ted Nelson is to be believed, he invented them and was very disappointed in Tim's unidirectional version. Nelson's were two-way links.

It is absolutely true that Berners-Lee was responsible for kickstarting the internet we know today by standardizing on HTML + Mosaic (Mark Andreesen) at CERN.

This is a common sentiment, but the reality is that increasing market participation is good for everyone. Yes, even retirement funds benefit from the presence of market-makers. Liquid markets allow for better price discovery and cheaper transaction costs.

I think the odds of dying from asteroid impact come from global collapse of agriculture, not the thing falling near you.
I don't recall reading such, but I can tell you from experience that there was absolutely some sort of physical sensor, electrical, or software problem. I was sitting stopped at a red light with my foot square on the brake when the engine on our 2009 Corolla started revving hard. The brake held, and I was able to pop it into neutral and safely turn the car off and on again. Then it was fine.

It did it to me at least one more time in a similar situation. I am very glad not to have been driving in traffic when it happened.

The trouble went away after some of the recall work was done, but we never fully trusted that vehicle again. For what it's worth, we still drive a pair of Toyotas.

I wonder how many people reserved near the announcement; lots of time for personal and global situations to have changed in the last five years.

They (Tesla) also look to have overpromised a bit. When Cybertruck was announced the base model was $39,900 and Elon suggested incentives could bring it even lower [0]. The three tiers were $40/50/70k, then it launched at $61/80/100k. To be fair, $40k in 2019 is around $48k today but that's still a 25% price increase.

Also, the high-end version was initially presented as having 500 mile range and 14000lb towing capacity, but now it's 320 mile range and 11000lb capacity. (edit: sibling comment mentioned this already)

The paper explores the connection between two mathematical models used to study biological systems: Boolean networks and Petri nets.

Boolean networks model gene regulation and other biological processes using logical functions. The long-term behavior of these models, represented by "attractors", corresponds to observable biological states. Recently, a concept called "trap spaces" has made analyzing larger Boolean network models feasible. However, computing trap spaces relies on finding prime implicants of the logical functions, which gets harder as models get bigger and more complex.

(A prime implicant is a minimal set of conditions that ensures a Boolean function will be true. )

Petri nets are another type of model using places, transitions between places, and tokens to represent the state of a system. A key concept in Petri nets is a "siphon" - a set of places that once empty of tokens, remains empty.

The authors prove for the first time that there is an equivalence between trap spaces in a Boolean network and "conflict-free siphons" in the corresponding Petri net representation.

This connection allows properties of trap spaces to be studied using Petri net theory. It also enables a new approach to compute trap spaces by finding siphons in the Petri net, avoiding the hard prime implicant computation.

In practical terms, this pushes the boundaries of the size and complexity of biological systems that can be effectively modeled and studied using this approach.

Humane's $699 AI Pin is now available
I recently started using Holoviews/Hvplot/Geoviews/Datashader for some big-ish data viz, and it's been mostly positive, but with some notable annoyances. The performance on big data is excellent. But I spent maybe two hours trying to figure out how to draw a damn regression line over my plot and I couldn't. Also hv.extension() seemed to break plain Matplotlib, whenever I tried to generate a plot after calling that function, I got an error about a non-interactive backend when trying to view a plot interactively, even when I selected an interactive backend explicitly.
I'm not sure how the close aspect of iOS is relevant, it feels like a strawman.

You say the web is more mature, to which I reply that this is the same circumstance as leaving one browser to become dominant (which we already did). In a perfect world, having a closed option would be "one of the options on the table" but for the majority of users this is not the case.

Introducing WebUSB (or any of the more exotic features on the list) will not help us towards an open platform. On the contrary, it will only worsen the dependence on a handful of corporations that can afford to invest to build a browser. Remember, even Microsoft couldn't afford to continue working on their own engine.

As a developer, I care very deeply about being able to make my apps and experiences available to "all the platforms" but shifting the cost of compatibility into userland is not a long term solution. Just put yourself in the shoes of a traveller, struggling to pay for their last-minute plane ticket at the gate but being greeted with "Sorry, our checkout page doesn't work on your browser/device".

Higher-order Granger reservoir computing
There are places in the US that that type of build is the norm.

Beyond that, “better built” in what sense? I’ve lived in the places that are built like bunkers (literally; Guam builds for direct typhoon hits). They are fine, but aren’t built for earthquakes, energy efficiency, or any other metric that’s more relevant in other parts of the world.
Honestly, I’m not sure notes add anything of value to most meetings.

Fascinating article.

About this:

> Before GPS, navigation systems used a technique called ‘dead reckoning‘. Dead reckoning relied on sensors to determine distance traveled and direction of travel. However, no sensor is perfect. As a result the further you travel the greater the errors build. Pretty quickly you have no idea where you are.

> To solve this problem Etak invented ‘augmented dead reckoning’. This used a process to match the position given by the navigation sensors to a topologically correct electronic map. Whenever the vehicle turned you made the assumption that you’re driving on a road. At that point the location could be ‘snapped’ back to the road and the error from the sensors could be reset. This technique was later adopted by all navigation apps and is still in use today.

Authorities usually intercept unwanted (consumer) drones by blocking the signal between the pilot and the drone; and it's also possible to jam GPS signal.

But a drone that would use some version of "augmented dead reckoning" with a (relatively basic) analysis of features on the ground (roads, rivers, train tracks) would be able to guide itself without external input and would be virtually unstoppable (short of destruction).

Yet they don't seem to exist yet? Is this harder to do than it sounds?
It was trained on content from the internet. I'd be massively surprised if it somehow wasn't toxic. Humanity (or a small portion of it) is full of assholes. As much as that sucks, shouldn't the embeddings reflect the reality of the training content? If you want fluffy bunnies and flowers and happy people holding hands, shouldn't you just train it on that content?
Yes. Gold is about 2.5x as dense as steel; gold is about 19.3 g/cc while steel is about 7.8 g/cc.

So, I'd expect it to show up as significantly more opaque in x-ray imaging. I wonder if it would have been noticed if they made all the components out of gold (so they all show up with similar density) or if the operator or a feature of the imaging software would notice that the whole thing was unusually dense.

I also expect that they might have noticed the units were exceptionally heavy, if all the components were gold.

Not an easy problem to solve, as our protagonist smuggler found out.
Unless you build your network for it, multicast is a huge pain in the ass to administer. None of the big cloud providers built for it at the scale that traders use it, and I think they prefer things that way. When customers want it, they all just fake it by doing fan-out unicast.
It's funny that you say that, with the crypto transaction fees still a big problem. Feels like HFT and crypto are on a convergence towards that concern.

Given this was release at a time when in most games enemies simply roamed the levels and attacked the player when he crossed their line of sight, a simple automata based AI that actively pursued the player and tried to use cover when shot could be described as "adapting" to your play style.
Your parent comment point still valid.

If Apple made arbitrary file access work for apps [1], surely they could make it work for Safari. But apps pay 30% and websites don't, so it's easy to conclude why they don't want to.

> The object-oriented API and its documentation have improved markedly over the years, I encourage you to give it a try. Most of the official documentation examples use it now. Yes, there are lots of examples out there using the pyplot interface still, but there is enough information on the OO API now that you can get by.

I agree. I used seaborn and matplotlib recently, and I was pleasantly surprised at both how much more consistent the API is and how much more comprehensive the documentation is. I dreaded using it at first but quickly became more accustomed.

> I have much stronger complaints about Seaborn and he will never find me recommending it to anyone.

Interesting, what are your pain points? For me, most of the time I start with seaborn, then modify the underlying matplotlib figure and axes for more customization; only rarely do I start with plt.subplots(). This gives me nice default styles while still allowing me to bend it to my will.

What's weird is that I don't think I've ever heard any serious practitioner doubt its capabilities. The main complaints I hear are just annoyance with pyplot.

one wonders how it ever even seemed like common sense to disrupt the body's evolved immune response to acute, traumatic soft-tissue injury, never mind good conventional medical advice.

ice to preserve a detached structure? sure. quelling the inflammation of organs or the brain? yeah, those types of inflammation can turn into a cascading collection of responses, often (but not always) having distinct non-traumatic root causes.

but disrupting increased (life)blood flow to the site of acute, traumatic soft-tissue injury? seems like some otherwise logical lines crossed there, not to mention just a bad idea on its face.
