There's some legit possibility of harm to people with genetic disposition to some specific mental illnesses like schizophrenia. It can bring in psychosis in people prone to it. Even though it can be very helpful to sufferers of other mental illnesses.

I've been warned about this by psychiatrists who were otherwise very liberal about drug use (one of them I knew even boasted to have tried almost everything). And it's legal in my country. Which I agree with, the potential harm for a small percentage of people doesn't mean it should be banned for everyone.
Your android doesn't natively support all hardware communication protocols like I2C, SPI, and UART... It's still a walled garden without access to the source code. You can't modify the firmware, drivers, or hardware behavior.
Actually, it's Sony's patent 8,246,454 which has that "interactive networked video game" feature (https://patents.google.com/patent/US8246454B2/en), and AFAIK there isn't a "drink verification can"-style patent yet.
Just because you have the right of way doesn't mean the correct thing to do is to remain in the lane. If remaining in your lane is likely to make someone else do something reckless, you should have been proactive. Not legally, for the sake of being a good driver.
In the US it seems you'd do it with a gun, but in Germany it's cars.

There was this elderly driver who mowed down a family in a bike lane waiting to cross the road in Berlin, driving over the barriers between the bike lane and the car lane because the cars in the car lane were too slow. Released without conviction - it was an unforeseeable accident.
> The thing that doesn't make sense is the numbers.

Oh? Who are presenting the numbers?

Is a crash that fails to trigger the airbags still not counted as a crash?

What about the car turning off FSD right before a crash?

How about adjusting for factors such as age of driver and the type of miles driven?

The numbers don't make sense because they're not good comparisons and are made to make Tesla look good.
It's always nice to point to a third party and keep blame from c-suite or board.
Right, I think it's less than 50% of people that have an "inner voice" - using language to think.

> What failure mode could produce harmful energy? The circuit will be designed for the intended power levels and you'll let the smoke out long before you actually put out a dangerous energy level.

Hi! Obviously, the specific science of the matter doesn't matter to me. It is an irrational fear. The machine is supposed to be safe and declared as such by people whom it is "not my job."

> I don't like the pat-down....

NOBODY likes the pat-down. What I said is that I'm not bothered by it. I can tolerate it as an alternative of going through the machine.

It is intentionally designed to be something you don't like, in order to encourage compliant people to just go through the machine. They create a relatively high stress situation (not enough flow and long lines) and the easy way out is to have people go through the machine as the fastest way out.

I mean nothing is preventing bad actors from writing their own code to do that either? This makes it easier (kind of) but the difference between a copilot written malware and a human one doesn't really change anything. Its a chat bot - it doesn't have agency.

I did a study, informal, involving sitting at a cafe watching the bikes go by for 30 mins and the ebike riders were definitely in worse shape than the regular bike riders. That said I ride an ebike - nothing's perfect.

I'm literally saying that it is visible, to me, the passenger. And for reasons that aren't just bad vibes. If I'm in an Uber and I feel unsafe, I'll report the driver. Why would I pay for my car to do that to me?

What's the preffered way to make simple SPAs using Svelte now? I'm using this +layout.ts with sveltekit:
> export const ssr = false;
export const prerender = false;

But it feels awkward for real SPAs - internal applications that have no need for server side rendering.
Yes, I intentionally did not include that fact, as it it is confusing for a layperson, than an airspace is called "controlled" even though it is only controlled for participating IFR aircraft. For the understanding of a layperson, Class E and G airspace do not require radio communication, radar contact, or permission to enter for little Cessna drivers in nice weather. Heck, you do not even need to have a radio installed, or even an electrical system, if you do not want one.

Respectfully, you are incorrect, and if you are a pilot, this is a dangerous misunderstanding. ATC does NOT provide radar separation services between VFR and IFR aircraft in Class E airspace. Reference the AIM, section 3-2-6-(f). Only separation between IFR aircraft is provided, and you may or may not get advisories and vectors for VFR traffic. How could it be otherwise, technically? The VFR aircraft may not even be equipped with a transponder, one is not required if you are more than 30 miles away from one of the 30 major Class-B airports in the country, and it might be made of bamboo and cloth with negligible radar cross section, so ATC may not even be aware of it's existence.

Separation between IFR and VFR aircraft in Class E airspace requires see-and-avoid by both the IFR aircraft and the VFR aircraft, and it is the responsibility of both pilots in command to ensure this happens. That's why we have the visibility and speed limitations that we have in Class E airspace, to provide enough time and distance for see-and-avoid to occur. But it requires at least one person in each flight deck to have their eyes out the window, not face down looking at the fishfinder.

There has grown a culture of complacency at the major airlines when it comes to integrating with parts of national airspace system that are outside of being directed by a controller - witness the recent Southwest debacle where they took off from a closed runway with personnel working because they did not understand, did not know, or ignored the standard dispatch procedures for operating before a control tower opens.

> It didn't merge left to make room for vehicles merging onto the highway. The vehicles then tried to cut in. The system should have avoided an unsafe situation like this in the first place.

This is what bugs me about ordinary autopilot. Autopilot doesn't switch lanes, but I like to slow down or speed up as needed to allow merging cars to enter my lane. Autopilot never does that, and I've had some close calls with irate mergers who expected me to work with them. And I don't think they're wrong.

Just means that when I'm cruising in the right lane with autopilot I have to take over if a car tries to merge.
And that sort of test should be done. Just be careful about isolation! (Remember the EM-drive, physics said it shouldn't work but tests showed a small effect with widely varying results. The electric current of the power supply, flowing through a wire in a magnetic field. There's also the contraptions that will rise if sufficient voltage is applied. It works--in atmosphere.)

And remember what I said about ultrasonic sounds from power supplies? Someone who doesn't understand how to test and was sensitive to one device might believe they're sensitive to all.
Just choose one.
Alcohol is illegal in some countries out there, today. I'll refrain from making any judgements, but I'll note that the word is, people still drink it there.
I think it's because the market has used THC content as a marketing point and that has driven its content to grow massively. Leading to infrequent users getting overwhelmed.

I think it's good to keep that under control a bit. From what I hear the normal marijuana that's not "enhanced" is much more enjoyable.
Xvc: Manage your binary data with Git repositories (Rust)
When to use Xvc?

When you have a photo, audio, media, or document collection to backup/version with Git, but don't want to copy that huge data to all Git clones.

When you manage a large number of unstructured data, like images, documents, and audio files.
When you want to version data files, and want to track versions across datasets.

When you want to store this data in local, SSH-accessible, or S3-compatible cloud storage.

When you create data pipelines on top of this data and want to run these pipelines when the data, code, or other dependencies change.

When you want to track which subset of the data you're working with, and how it changes by your operations.
When you have binary artifacts that you use as dependencies and would like to have a make alternative that considers content changes rather than timestamps.

You can install by `cargo install xvc` for the CLI or `pip install xvc` for Python. Documentation is at https://docs.xvc.dev
Yes, unions in Germany are more decentralized and less malign. In France, unions are nationwide, and the same across the entire sectors. Having worked in that system, it’s horrible. Trust me, it may look cool on paper, you don’t want that malignant tumor.

A lot of vehicles also show this on the nav screen every time you start the car, and many websites also display similar popups when you visit. It's a disgusting practice but it certainly isn't new.

BTW if you want a TV that doesn't have any of these smart features you can get one of those commercial displays used in malls, train stations, and such. They're expensive though.
What's interesting to me here is that in the period 2013-2023, only E&Y, KPMG and McK of the "great eight" moved up or down in the ranking, and they only moved around in the 4 through 6 spots by tiny revenue amounts. Maybe that was a max scale decision on the part of those companies' management. On the other hand, I'd love to know the yield per employee. That would be an interesting read.

I've used DVC for most of my projects for the past five years. The good things is that it works a lot like git. If your scientists understand branches, commits and diffs, they should be able to understand DVC. The bad thing is that it works like git. Scientists often do not, in fact, understand or use branches, commits and diffs. The best thing is that it essentially forces you to follow Ten Simple Rules for Reproducible Computational Research [1]. Reproducibility has been a huge challenge on teams I've worked on.

[1] https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/jo...
Yeah, and I think it's also worth noting that by far the largest set of folks advocating for stacked diffs are not actually using git.

Meta runs a custom mercurial-compatible monorepo that was scaled up to handle thousands of commits per hour, and they have a culture of constant codebase-wide refactoring commits (i.e. the ongoing live migration of PHP -> Hack) - that rate of change causes problems that most GitHub projects have no reason to solve.

I don't think that really caught on that much. Film studios care about it, but TV manufacturers don't really.

This is for advertising plain and simple (and probably selling user data to some extent). That's direct income for the manufacturers so they care about it a lot.

Svelte 5 has been very nice to work with over the past few months. Yes, runes require you to think more carefully about lifecycles and updates. And you may end up writing a little more code initially than with svelte 4. But it serves you better in the long run with complex apps. I found a process for gradually turning a simple app into a more complex one that works for me. I iteratively move $state() runes out of .svelte files and into .svelte.ts files where I build a more abstract data-oriented structure for my app from a series of mutually linked classes. Then those runes can be re-imported into the .svelte files, or used and updated wherever you need. If you plan it right, I think it avoids the need for heavy redux-like state management. (at least I think so. I haven't worked with redux much myself)
This is essentially a demonstration of military power as well.
>If... your headache flares up precisely when the wifi router's lights blinks, but not when it is actually on... then that's pretty conclusive...

...of nothing, because that's also how the body will react to known stressors.

A recovering alcoholic can feel sick at the mere smell of alcohol (simultaneous stimuli), but that's not "pretty conclusive" evidence that drinking alcohol has no deleterious effects.

That "experiment" is only evidence of one thing: that you can trick people using Psych 101 combined with bad experimental design. If you wanted to actually prove or disprove the effect, a properly designed experiment would omit the trickery (or at least run a matrix experiment with a trickery/no-trickery variable).
Not quite: It's taking advantage of (1+a)(1+b) = 1 + a + b + ab.
And where a and b are both small-ish, ab is really small and can just be ignored.

So it turns the (1+a)(1+b) into 1+a+b. Which is definitely not the same! But it turns out, machine guessing apparently doesn't care much about the difference.

I started by writing a Python grammar definition based on PLY (see http://www.dabeaz.com/ply/) , then tweaked it to handle the new feature and emit the right AST. It's when I discovered the following was valid Python:

>>> a=b=c=d=e=1
>>> del a, (b, (c, (((((d,e)))))))

I don't think PLY can handle the newest Python grammar, but I haven't looked into it.

For what it's worth, my Python grammar was based on an older project I did called GardenSnake, which still available as a PLY example, at https://github.com/dabeaz/ply/tree/master/example/GardenSnak... .

I've been told it's was one of the few examples of how to handle an indentation-based grammar using a yacc-esque parser generator.

It’s one thing to be concerned about the problem, it’s another to try to weaponize anecdotes to achieve the aim instead of being intellectually honest and focusing on quantitative data. I’d argue that your position is the “think of the children” position which argues from a place of fear and anecdotes while infantilizing people and removing their autonomy over their own lives.

As for incentives, the estimate is that MAID reduces annual spending by ~100 million. The government spends 300B a year on healthcare. You’re not going to get out of this by killing your patients, not to mention that you need productive members in your economy to create a tax base in the first place. I think you have an incorrect analysis of the incentives at play here.
New VW Golf floats around 30k EUR, which is still 10k EUR cheaper than Tesla Model 3 and you still have 10k for fuel - that's with your difference is 8 years of driving.

However 50% of people in EU does not have home charging (i.e. living in apartments) therefore they won't see your savings but they will see the wasted time on public chargers.
All of consulting has been doing this for a while. Interest rates went up and fears of recession made companies pull back on spending. That hits consulting pretty hard. Usually consulting does well when things are going so bad you need the expertise no matter the cost or when things are nice and stable and you want to try something new. Anywhere in-between is hard times.

You have to know some machine learning fundamentals to figure that out - “Random Forest” is a specific machine learning algorithm, which does not need a further explanation.

Having read the Isaacson biography, Elon’s management style is essentially to be hands off then show up in “surges” of extreme work. It makes sense that most people would be happy when surges end.

TL;DR: Is it possible that it seems to you that Dwarf Fortress was the first game with procedural generation?

Full comment:

Factorio wouldn't exist with Dwarf Fortress?

If this is a claim that Dwarf Fortress paved the way for deep(er) simulation games, enabling Factorio, I don't think that's accurate.

I was ~18 in 2006 and a huge fan of simulation games when I was growing up. There were plenty with depth that approximated Factorio.

I've never heard of Infiniminer or Rimworld.

5 minute review of Infiniminer shows its a very different game and has a specific triad of inspirations named by the creator, all of which predate Dwarf Fortress. (Team Fortress, Infinifrag, and Motherload)

Rimworld is nearly a decade after Dwarf Fortress, so its impossible for me to claim it wouldn't exist without it, and I believe vice versa.
I'm a solo developer working on an exciting new feature for deepfakes, clone voice and video generation. With this open-source November update, you can retarget facial features like eyes, lips, head pose, and even emotions — either manually in video or images, or by automatically animating them. Want to add realism by blink or head rotate for lip sync and fix face swap eyes? Now you can insert blinks or make subtle head movements with full control.

If I hit 4096 stars on GitHub, I'll open the full code and include API support with temporary links to get acces to app from any world place, making it easier to share your creations. Go to GitHub.
When did Elon ban any of his critics permanently from Twitter ? The most famous I remember was Kathy Griffin for impersonation, but she was brought back after the "parody" label was added. And that was done to multiple parody accounts not just hers.

GP means that the signs aren't obvious to other drivers. We generally underestimate how important psychological modelling is for communication, because it's transparent to most of us under most circumstances, but AI systems have very different psychology to humans. It is easier to interpret the body language of a fox than a self-driving car.
Nitpick, but I think you mean “can’t be overstated” - no matter how important you state the thing to be, it’s not overstated, because the thing is just that important. Hence, can’t be overstated.
It could incidentally be closed source, then. I stand corrected.

Sometimes devs & teams of devs wait until their code is finished to put it online. I tend not to – most of my unfinished code open source code is online. I understand the pros/cons of each way though.

Ooni has some really helpful FAQ guides for fixing it on your own, but I was amazed at how many videos exist about this problem for an $800 pizza oven.
