I've wondered how the liability rules will work when either:

• vehicle A slams on the brakes inadvertently/erroneously or

• vehicle A slams on the brakes due to a small animal crossing the road

and then vehicle B hits vehicle A from behind. Some people think that the following vehicle is always at fault, but this isn't strictly true (IAAL). Certainly it would not be the case in the event of the lead car braking erroneously. It could also be complicated even in the event of purposeful automatic braking, if vehicle A stops at a rate faster than vehicle B can stop. That is, imagine vehicle A is a Porsche with huge Brembos and vehicle B is a minivan with factory brakes. Unless we're going to say that a vehicle always needs to factor in the braking ability of the vehicle it's behind, we'll need to adapt the liability rules to account for the possibility that following vehicles may not be able to brake as rapidly as lead vehicles.

I know that when I'm considering hitting the brakes hard (for example, approaching a light that turns yellow), I check my mirror to see if I'm likely to get hit from behind if I brake hard. Perhaps these systems should also be checking backward before activating? If the follow vehicle is determined to have AEB, then more aggressive braking would be enabled (though what about the vehicle 2 cars back?).
Is that a paper from 2005 about a system designed in 1997? History is excellent for research but in the decades since, many things have changed.

Some of those downsides are positives (immutable, easily copied) others aren’t accurate, for example here’s the Mumbai metro in 2023 with qr entry gates https://youtube.com/shorts/TxbEgEzY9J8?si=s3gE-7_xbCbDoQ1d

Or that a 100% available central ledger is needed (it’s not).

That Qr code systems are in use today in some of the busiest locations would probably be the most succinct counterpoint though.
Indeed, today's issues of censorship and "sanitization" isn't caused by the government, or bands of overzealous activists, but the Free Market and capitalism working as intended - appeal to the greatest possible audience by removing anything that could be seen as questionable/objectionable to capture the largest possible market share & thus derive the most profit. The free market has created a kind of crisis of creativity where all the movies, TV shows and books kind of look and feel the same, where nobody's feelings get hurt and nobody's ideas are challenged, because that kind of media is objectively the most profitable.
I sure will!

Honestly these AI books seem to be full of the saccharine sweet uber-PC toxic positivity that AI companies think what a 'safe' and 'aligned' AI should sound like.

This is the main reason why I gave up on using ChatGPT for creative brainstorming.
Well, if the authors believe it, the authors have all the rights to change their books.

But not the rest of us.

EDIT: if the Grimms edited their books, it was in their rights. If we decide to edit Rolad Dahl (or the Grimms) and still call them Roald Dahl/Grimm's brothers we have no right to do it.

It's as simple as that, regardless who the original author of the story was, the author(s) of the books are very well known, it's the Grimms (in this particular case) and we should not edit them and call them "Grimm's brothers works" but "The X works (based on the Grimm's brothers works)" and see how many copies it sells (I bet not many as exploiting the Grimms' name).

Imagine Tolkien being rewritten based on "The rings of power" and still attributed to Tolkien or if Dune is republished as it is in the movies, with all the scenes removed, but it's still called Frank Herbert's Dune.

Wouldn't it be disappointing?

It is also about cultural heritage.

These works are from different cultures, they are not native of the US, where the debate is taking place about them.

Some time ago I read about rewriting Pinocchio. The majority of people think it is a Disney's story, they do not know or imagine that it is one of the most important piece of the Italian culture, written by Carlo Collodi and it's as important to us as Sherlock Holmes is for UK.
This article is a bit weird: even the Grimms sanitized their own stories to appeal to wider audiences, it seems like people in the 19th century didn't think their original editions were suitable for children. The first edition didn't even get translated into English. Reworking fairy tales for different audiences likely is as old as fairy tales- after all, these were ostensibly originally orally transmitted.

They're fairy tales. There is no canonical version. Stories repeated by the fireside do not have original authors. Neither the Grimms or the Germans they got the stories from have a monopoly on what the correct version of the story is.

The original published versions weren't meant for children in the first place:

> “The original edition was not published for children or general readers. Nor were these tales told primarily for children. It was only after the Grimms published two editions primarily for adults that they changed their attitude and decided to produce a shorter edition for middle-class families. This led to Wilhelm’s editing and censoring many of the tales,” he told the Guardian.

Even with a source of randomness the software for a computer has a formal syntax and this formal syntax must correspond to a logical formalism. Even if you include syntax for randomness it still corresponds to a proof because there are categorical semantics for stochastic systems, e.g. https://www.epatters.org/wiki/stats-ml/categorical-probabili....
"Princess Syndrome" is not a medical diagnosis, and I encourage people to go look up the origins of the term.

Not saying air travel is bad but to play devil's advocate,

1. OP didn't give a reason for why we should slow down, but

2. if we presume environmental, then equating it to something else widely criticized for being wasteful and environmentally injurious isn't persuasive. At best, it is as bad, but we're well short of the best case, because

3. miles flown don't replace miles driven anywhere near one for one. The alternative to a cross-Atlantic flight isn't a cross-Atlantic drive. It's probably not even a cross-Atlantic cruise. More likely, it's a trip not taken at all, or as often. (Which is a bummer, of course!)

4. Both highways and air travel have conspired to chill investment in rail, which is the cleanest of the three.

5. Air travel is an economically-stimulating activity. I'd be very surprised if the net effect isn't more--probably many, many more--miles driven overall.

Of course there are lots of upsides to air travel and economic activity in general, but I feel like that's obvious!
Fantastic quote from the article:

“Is Amazon cutting out the author middle man and using A.I. and user data to generate books on its own? What generative models are being used? What kinds of prompts are generating these texts?

I don’t know. I’m not a virgin. As I said, I have a child.”
Status symbol - a weird concept to me. Exhibiting status symbols has various social, psychological, cultural and economic uses and meanings, but it seems to me that they often reflect the existence of a kind of deficiency.
I don't know. Most serious programs will use write() and then check the return value. In locations where it does not matter (say a test suite that is guaranteed to signal an error but an fprintf() error message could fail in theory) not checking is fine I think.

You will not see the message if you get a panic either ...
I've been reading the original brother's grimm to kids for _years_ and the stories are always gripping. I don't love the reinforcing motifs of the world as perpetually experienced as dangerous, however.

I've been LOVING working through the Studio Ghibli anthology with my toddler. Been curating a list (and then finding the right file) of the movies they like with the best audio tracks. (she cannot read, so watching them in the original audio, while engaging, isn't as helpful as good dubs. Some english dubs have been terrible, some quite good.

We most recently watched Ponyo ["poh-noh-fish" as its sometimes called around here], had it playing on the background a few more times. She's been vastly less drawn to things like baby shark and it's ilk, with the availability of Ghibli's works, and we discuss the characters and events and the ups and downs in the movies throughout, and after.

The pacing, the anti-imperial bent, dignifying many oft-de-dignified tropes, the art, the music, the foley, the mystery and the spiritualism and obvious deep love of the harmony of nature. mmm. I've paid Jeff Bezos more than I wish I had in my pursuit of the best/easiest files, but alas. Here's my beta, if you'd like. [0]

I discovered Studio Ghibli only as an adult, more than 30 years old, so for anyone who doesn't know about it, you might be one of today's lucky 10,000. huzzah [1]

Yes, but the US or the EU could've pushed for a break up when most of its EUV research was in the US. Market dominance wasn't built overnight.

Yes, it would now be very hard to do. But that goes back to my original point, Europe does not really care about market dominance and fairness as long as European corporations are the ones dominating. As you said, if competition and market health was the objective...what ASML does is very important and shouldn't be left to a single corporation. They have complete market control over a critical part of something that's foundational to our modern economy.

But I've never heard of a single European move to do something about that. SAP also has a de facto monopoly on entire parts of business processes and administration.

Also, apple is in many ways just as important to the US government. So nobody is going to break them up, in the US at least.

I'm not making a judgement here, I'm just saying that it's weird to expect the US to shoot itself in the foot, just like it would be weird to expect Europe to do the same. For the EU, the issue is more that Apple isn't European.
To be sure, Tesla doesn't appear to be part of the trade group[1] pushing this agenda.

For AirBnB (temporary lodging), if you don't like it, typically you're only stuck with it for a few days and you can make a different choice afterwards.

Phones, for many people, are something they will use for years so they're essentially locked in a lot of the time. It's more like long term rentals, where the renter usually gets stronger protections too.
If you run the CPU in a loop at 100% load, it lasts around 40m or so, per the video.

While I agree with their aim and their reasoning on this bill with regard to the fact that it has been unacceptably weakened, I take issue with this quote:

No. Privacy is an end in itself. It is a human right. Falling back to economic justifications weakens the foundation of fighting for privacy.

These are not "Android" secret codes. These are a mix of vendor-specific dialer codes.

Every vendor has its own set, and to discover yours the easiest method is to check their engineering app manifests (there is literally an entry called "secret code" or similar).

Having said that, the only one you might really need IMHO is ##4636## (this is an Android one, it's not vendor specific). This code is very useful in csse you want to select a specific RAT that isn't available in the device settings (e.g: NR only, LTE only, NR/LTE, ...)
> leading to a future where there is no longer a path towards developing those senior skills.

That sounds like unintentional death spiral for a company. You don't have juniors, it is hard to get seniors, because nobody is training juniors. So when all the seniors eventually leave, company is left with tech stack which nobody understands and few people hired for maintenance are only able to perform specific rituals left from previous generation. This might work for a while due to momentum but after some time it will just implode under its own tech debt and one unexpected push - like nobody is making servers which our tech stack runs on a we need to migrate...
What changes are you referring to, since the 1980s? We can pick some of them, call them the next intervention you want to propose as responsible for increases in adverse events, and then look if the epidemiological data lines up with it. I bet, though: the data won't work out for you.

I agree with the overall idea of the article, but it is important to recognize that our modern assumptions make us think there is a particular version of a fairy tale that is the "correct" or "original" version. Stories handed down orally are likely changed in each telling to better fit their audience, so in that sense, the way fairy tales were told almost always included some type of sanitization or embellishment depending on who was listening.

Kernel is "mostly" just lexical unless you explicitly opt-out with FEXPRs. FEXPRs are what draw most people into Kernel.

However, what is probably more important but doesn't immediately stick out until you poke at Kernel a lot harder are the fully reified "environments". "Environments are copy on write that don't destroy older references" has very subtle consequences that seem to make dynamic scope a lot better behaved.

This also has the consequence that I can force things to explicitly evaluate in reference to the "ground environment" which is an explicit signal that it can always be compiled.

I suspect there is a lot of fertile research ground here. In addition, there is a lot of implementation subtlety that I'm not sure he really grasped. Environments need a special data structure otherwise they cons up an enormous amount of garbage (I suspect it really needs a Bitmapped Vector Trie like Clojure).

I wish Shutt were still around to talk to. :(
I've been using this for a few months and really like it.

Pros:

- Simple configuration and built-in keyboard shortcut daemon.
- Performs very well; no animations, nothing to get in your way.
- Workspace switching is excellent, doesn't use Windows' built-in system, and each monitor has its own set of workspaces
- Draws a border around the active window. This is huge. I can't tell which window has focus without this and it's essential with focus change shortcuts.
- Can move the cursor to the newly focused window, minimizing mouse movement.
- Makes me happy. That's rare on Windows.

Cons:

- Doesn't handle DPI changes or laptop dock/undock well. I usually have to restart.
- whkd gets stuck occasionally and requires restart.
- Polyform Strict license is a little unusual; I hope the author stays committed.

Yeah, which is why it's confusing that my mom had two drivers reject her the last time she needed to get to the airport when I wasn't able to give her a ride to JFK.
That's much less of a concern ever since everybody switched to extent-based filesystems.

The real concern is block alignment.

Yes, I know, that was my point too: it's closed development and so you can talk to the dev team to get changes worked into Lua itself. You don't get to just open a PR and start thigns that way, you have to talk to people. And going "well we didn't contact them" when you're the size of Roblox would be incredible.

That's genre fiction - a formula, with some reader-insert gratification. A site like RR is specifically aimed at readers who want those kinds of stories.

Other fiction markets are the same. Mysteries, fantasy, thrillers, romance, all have their tropes and sub-tropes. Most don't have an RR equivalent because they're marketed through other communities, like TikTok for romance.

Original fiction that doesn't follow strict genre rules and expectations is a very hard sell today - but I'm not sure that's ever been untrue.
thanks for the constructive feedback!
"I don't see how an honest person could claim that they're doing anything anti-competitive."

I, on the other side, very much see it, given how huge the market share of Apple is.

I would be with you if Apple had 5 per cent of the smartphone market. Nevertheless, their very size makes any of their actions that restricts freedoms of their customes at least suspicious of being anti-competitive.
I think the key ingredient you're looking for is mutability. If you take advantage of the ability to implicitly modify state, your declared interfaces reduce in size because you don't need to model the threading of state through the interface. Since mutability means that your method signatures are less restrictive then they appear to be, it makes sense that this research (focusing on dependent types, and especially on dependently-typed proofs) would prefer a setting without implicit mutability. (Mutation is orthogonal to OOP vs. FP, anyway -- you can have pure OOP interfaces and also mutable FP interfaces.)

The Java stream interface also has a lot of methods that can technically be implemented in terms of other methods on the interface, but are present so that implementers can provide more efficient implementations depending on the capabilities of their model of streams. It makes sense that the present research would only consider the bare essentials of streams, and not things that could be layered on top at the cost of some optimization opportunities.

As a Java programmer, the essence of an OOP stream seems to be captured by the following interface:

interface Stream<T> {
T next();
}

If we make mutation explicit, this evolves into:

interface Stream<T> {
Pair<T, Stream<T>> next();
}

And then we can split this into two methods, providing each of the two components of the original `Pair`:

interface Stream<T> {
T head();
Stream<T> tail();
}

This is exactly what the paper shows on page 2, up to syntactic differences (like explicit type parameters to the methods).
Just because it was first discovered 15 years ago, does not mean it wasn't still a good idea.

Keep on thinking. You never know what else you will come up with.
Seems to me like the blame is with the schools and parents - bringing kids up as helpless victims (can't fight back and the schools don't do much to the bullies), the over use of screens, and surveillance culture never letting them start over (stuff follows you forever now).
Yeah, it was clear they were training us for an industrial work ethic with 40 minute periods with bells moving us from place to place, regimented bathroom and recreational activity, and generally a complete disinterest in learning, just do the homework kid, we don't care and we wont call on you.
I'm sure we both understand why "put it on GitHub" is not free in any meaningful sense on a platform that charges people $99/yr to use the compiler. The point here is that Apple is insisting they own every part of the system and neither the user nor the developer can touch any of it without their permission.

> Hitler plausibly threatened American security. I don’t see any indication that Russia could do the same

How? Hitler wasn’t in Cuba [1]. Putin challenges America directly in a way Hitler never did prior to our entering the war.

> It’s not worth it

I agree in general. Not in Europe, and not with Putin.

> why would a Russian-controlled France stop buying stuff from Ohio?

Same reason Europe and our allies in the Middle East preferentially buy from us. Commercial ties follow spheres of influence. It’s not some random coincidence our trading partners in the Middle East, Africa, Caucasus and Southeast Asia track our military alliances.

> NATO—it’s obsolete

You’d prefer another European free for all? Because again, when that happens, it’s obvious we’d get involved. You may prefer we not. But we would, and then you’ve got a major foreign war on your hands.

It’s very different from day laborers in that day laborers get to work for a day; and these drivers get to work until Uber says so. And one can guess that Uber is trying to minimize the hours worked per driver due to regulatory concerns.
