Worker co-ops are quite concretely socialist in the sense that the workers control their means of production. Of course when embedded in largely capitalist economy, e.g. banks do still have often de-facto control over them.

TIL about heat index being a combination of temperature and humidity to arrive at a perceived temperature (in the shade apparently, why?).

Started plugging in some numbers into a heat index calculator just for kicks (https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/heat-index).

I live in a very hot and dry area, and noticed that at 15% humidity the heat index matches temperature, below 15% results in a heat index below the temperature, and above 15% gives a heat index above the temperature.
Thank you, it's great to have positive feedback!
Are there cyclists in Las Vegas?

I always want Tesla to test their systems in a European urban center, see how they deal with tourists and trams set in picturesque 19th century streets.
> Why do you care about relationships at all except for your short/long term emotional needs, safety, etc?

Because I care about people as people. They have their own lives. Their existence isn't defined by their utility to me.

I just can't instinctively navigate verbal communication and social norms. I had to learn everything through logical analysis, which is very slow and difficult to apply in real time.

It's no different than if I had a significant speech impediment. My dislike of social norms is solely due to the barriers it creates to communication.

And no, I don't hate you. I'm just frustrated with the assumptions you're making.
Tesla's using statistical sleight of hand with that stat; FSD can only be engaged in certain scenarios, and they're inherently newer vehicles than the national average. Comparing Teslas on the highway in California against 20 year old beaters in snowstorms in New England is... not reasonable.

It's also entirely self-reported, which given that they've knowingly lied about range, is itself a bit concerning... https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-ba...
What's the debt though? AT&T has more debt than share value.

You tell me, you're the one who made the claims.

That profit is 10% What's the spread between that and the loan repayment rate? What's the Fed rate?

Profit is after servicing loans.

the loan repayment rate?

What loan? What are you talking about?

What's the Fed rate? People invest in different things but they should be getting value at least equivalent buying Fed bonds.

It's 5.25%, that took me 4 seconds to google. Did you think it might have been 10%?

>It could be that US investors are less willing to invest in co-ops. But then, why? Is there something about them that makes them less competitive?

My, admittedly uninformed, guess would be it has to do with 1) there are more worker protections in the EU than in the US and 2) Co-ops tend to pay employees better wages, have better benefits, etc.

Shareholder corps will try to drive down their labor costs as much as possible. Walmart goes so far as providing advice to how it's employees can best apply for food stamps, all the while keeping them under the 32hr/week threshold that would require them to receive benefits. This can provide a price advantage against co-ops who are not running these same practices. It the EU the labor protection laws are better so the potential difference of labor cost is diminished between sharecorp and co-op.
The issue with the businesses like that is that they can easily scam tech illiterate people. My mom paid $50 for a person who literally did nothing. She had some error with the motherboard asking to press F1 or something. He did that, did some dust cleaning pretending and that was it. The computer booted, he saw Linux, told it’s some complicated setup (it’s not, a basically default Gnome system). Told her it’s some server system there and his job was done. I was furious she didn’t ask me in the first place. Not to say she could Fking just read what the computer asked her to do.

Nigeria is tricky - I've seen estimates ranging from $130-$750. World Bank classifies it as a "lower middle income" country at this point, which would suggest they at least think the median is <$4k or so per year, I think.
It's not important because there are many quirks to this software, including a Lisp-like programming language. Learning to use it involves internalising many things that aren't common knowledge, which one has to figure out by trial and error, and the manual.

If you are seriously interested in BeeBase you'll be spending hours learning the basics of the Lisp-dialect and GUI toolkit, getting a hangup on that error message means you don't have that kind of interest. Maybe the empathy got in the way of that, I don't know.

And let's say someone makes a patch that implements a new error message that specifies which of the two rules regarding table names has been breached, then what? More complaints about the next quirk? Some other error message? Begging for a Lua-implemented query language because parens lost the syntax wars of yesteryear, describing it as miserable that it isn't already integrated?

> I have no idea what’s going on

I had to watch it a few times to figure it out. It's a human misunderstanding that a war is going on. The JAM are a machine race that seem to be conducting experiments to understand the biological components of the Earth machines.
Big-government is also an aspect. Both the federal and state governments in the US have a tendency to form wholly-owned subsidiaries to conduct businesses that could otherwise be run by co-ops.

> Why not use and fine-tune an existing model?

Not all of them have permissive licenses for whatever the companies may want (or their clients want). Kind of a funny situation where everyone would benefit, but no one wants to burn their money for the greater good.
I'm not saying what the better option would be (because I don't know), but many people approach the problem from a very myopic point of view.

Adopting Lidar would of course provide Tesla with higher-quality input for their self-driving model. But the quality of the input isn't the whole equation; you need to process it as well. In other words, adopting Lidar would incur costs not only on the hardware side, but also on the software side, which of course would result in more expensive cars. More expensive cars means less cars sold, and less cars sold means less data, which in turns means less input.

Does this result in a worse model? Again, I don't know, but I do know that the issue is more complicated (and not only because of the reasons I mentioned here) than many people seem to think.
Related video "Tesla Autopilot Crashes into Motorcycle Riders - Why?"[0],
summarized to: vision used by Tesla seems to process motorcycles differently, and may be incorrectly "assuming" the closer spaced brake lights on a motorcycle is actually a far away car.

More details on the homicide here[1], which shows the crash happened during daylight hours and the bike resembles a sport bike. This is a different condition than my referenced video (night collisions with cruiser-style motorcycles), but I suspect similar incorrect assumptions by Tesla vision happened.

I encountered significant resistance at two previous companies (±120 employees and ±4750 employees, respectively) when attempting to implement Pulumi into our technology stack to address issues related to Terraform’s lack of composability. Despite working with teams heavily involved in Go programming, I expected them to happily embrace the technology. Unfortunately, they were reluctant due to Terraform’s dominant position at the time. Although I’ve since transitioned to other fields like ML/AI, my conviction remains that Pulumi could have provided a viable solution for those companies.
> Also was surprised that 26% of people had no idea what their dosage was. That seems really irresponsible.

I agree that it's irresponsible, but personally I was surprised it wasn't way higher. I have a 0.1mg resolution analytical balance and for my psychonaut acquaintances/friends I'm almost always the very first person to introduce them to consistently weighing their doses to help start building a sense of what's appropriate for them. Even for people who've been using them regularly for >10 years. And no one I know has ever quantitatively tested the purity+dose of their drugs either, which is relatively "easy" through http://energycontrol-international.org (a few do reagent testing to test for contaminants but it doesn't tell you much about % purity or dose)

Note also that with mushrooms, weighing the fresh or dried mushrooms gives you very little information on your psilocybin/psilocin dose, different strains can vary by two orders of magnitude and even within the same strain you might find the strongest sample has 5x the concentration of the weakest sample. https://www.copsychedeliccup.com/2023-psychedelic-cup-data

What a fool...
Same here. To me it's not even some egregiously unpleasant interactions (there have been some of those, but they've been exceedingly rare). It's the constant barrage of low-level entitlement of expecting work that individually isn't much but sums up to basically "make this project your main priority in life because my problem should be just as important to you as it is to me".

I've started to think that there shouldn't be such a thing as a "main" codebase, but rather a network of clones that each introduce whatever fixes or features are important to them, and if they want changes from others they're free to integrate those themselves. Yes it's convenient for users to have a curated blessed distribution of a project, but at what cost?
OpenStreetMaps is pretty decent, and I find it better than Google Maps in most cases.

It's not an unreasonable outcome. The goal of the criminal system is to reduce crime, not random vengeance.

I can certainly think of a time when I was driving when I missed another car in my blind spot and almost caused an accident, or when I saw someone in a car distracted by a toddler, or similar. Those didn't lead to accidents, but they might have if someone were less lucky.

There's a range of ways a car can kill people, ranging from driving through a red light at 100MPH, to an illegal U-turn, to making a stupid mistake, to a completely random fluke of circumstance.

On one end of the spectrum, there should be prison time, and regardless of whether an accident happens. On the other end, insurance should pay damages, but I'm not sure what good the criminal system can do in terms of deterrence.

If a driver is already doing their best to be safe, but slips up, or even isn't doing their best but isn't being unreasonable, criminal penalties don't seem like the right outcome.

On the earnings call he said the robot should be in production by the end of this year, and being sold by the end of next year. And implied it will:

This looks great, however, things like rolling shutter or video wipes/transitions will be interesting to see how it handles that. Also, all of the sample videos the camera is locked down and not moving, or moving just ever so slightly (the ants and the car clips ). It looks like they took time to smooth out any excessive camera shake.

Intergrading this with Adobe's object tracking software (in premier/after effects) may help.
> any abstract word can be broken down into simpler words which in the end describe some spatial relationship

What if my computing model rely on quantum phenomenon ? Maybe some of them don't have good visual representation. But it's a guess. I don't know...

Regarding the global idea of your comment: what about languages such as J it APL or BQN ? In such languages each character is an atomic part of algorithms (in j, two characters are used to implement dynamic IF for instance. One character only is used to define the dimensional depth of each part of algorithms). In this way, iversonnian languages can be seen as general and pure visual representation of algorithms once you consider each J or APL character as an arbitrary glyph.

Great question. I don’t know if they are different.

> Not sure why you're discounting the potential for foreign influence campaigns from reducing the accountability your government has to you.

I don't discount that potential. I'm certain it exists. I'm also certain that it exists on youtube and facebook and twitter and reddit and will continue to influence US politics long into the future. Yet the US government has never once spoken about banning facebook and youtube or any other platform doing exactly the same things as TikTok, they're focused only the threat of the one Chinese platform while allowing China, Russia and anyone else to influence Americans though US owned platforms. They're even fine with letting China influence Americans using TikTok as long as TikTok is owned by a US company.

I'm just not buying the argument that TikTok represents a threat to our democracy any greater than the threat posed by youtube or twitter. I don't see how taking away our freedom to access/use a Chinese platform that isn't violating any US law and isn't doing anything different than similar US platforms are doing is really helping to protect us here. Congress telling Americans what software we can have installed on our own devices, and preventing us from accessing platforms in other countries seems much more likely to lead us down a slippery slope than one Chinese owned social media platform being allowed to do what all the US owned platforms are doing.

Not in the strict sense if it's state-mandated MITM (you are forced to install a specific root certificate to legally connect to the internet).

But also in the other case, not all is lost: Not every malware can (or even tries to) defend itself against any antivirus software in existence. The machine might be compromised, but being able to retrieve the correct upadate for the hypothetically unaffected malware scanner can still give you the signal that your machine is infected and you should reinstall it.

That's interesting — the typed request and response objects that you get with an API SDK are certainly one of the biggest upsides, and I certainly see the benefit of having full control of the transport layer yourself so that you can add any common telemetry / logging / statistics at your leisure.

On the other hand, a benefit of a more complete API is that in typed languages you can tab-complete your way to success. With each endpoint a function and all the requisite configuration (API URL, etc.) bundled in, for basic integrations you may never even have to reference documentation, or if you do, very little of it, as your IDE finds functions/properties for you and you can read documentation right out their docstrings.

You have it wrong. Processing LIDAR is way, way more computationally efficient than processing camera footage into a 3D model. LIDAR feeds you direct distance and speed data. Cameras of course do not, meaning you have to try to compute it, something which is very hard and error prone for even the most powerful computers that have ever been created (human brains).

There are wars to protect the innocent and to free the oppressed ("de oppresso liber") where such a prayer is justified:

"O Lord our God,

help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells;

help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead;

help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain;

help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire;

help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief;

help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst,

sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter,

broken in spirit,

worn with travail,

imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it –

for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord,

blast their hopes,

blight their lives,

protract their bitter pilgrimage,

make heavy their steps,

water their way with their tears,

stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet!

We ask it, in the spirit of love,

of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts.

Amen."

If this is not justified, then you have no business going to war.

I would like to see the US Constitution amended such that any member of Congress who votes to declare war (or to deploy our military overseas for any reason) must recite this prayer.
