Although the SICP is an awful book, the thing in section 1.1.1 that OP refers to where it presents formatting an expression:

(+ (* 3
(+ (* 2 4)
(+ 3 5)))
(+ (- 10 7)
6))

is a decent point.

I mean, how could they present this differently? Pretty much any Lisp book should explain this stuff the same way. Look, we have these parentheses and that's what the machine cares about, but we split across and indent like this.

If someone finds that reformatting to be incomprehensible and unreadable, virtually no different from the original one liner, they may have some cognitive issue (a form of dyslexia or something like it). Likely they will struggle with programming in any language.

I don't suspect it's "cognitively typical" not to find the visual structure of the above formatting to be obviously helpful.

> In a sense it embraces blame but eschews accountability.

The two concepts we are talking about are each talked about under each label so there is enough ambiguity in both words that this is true. However choosing to use 'blame' in the opposite sense from the one being used in that context adds nothing to the conversation.
It's not an argument, it's just a definitional thing, and I don't know much about Christianity or Paul but I don't see why it should have to "account" for him.
> In 2024 it’s estimated that 20 billion devices use the Internet, yet the Internet’s IPv4 routing table only encompasses 3.03 billion addresses … sharing each individual IPv4 address across an average of 7 devices.

…but the graph below that text shows 40% of traffic is IPv6, so the v4 space is only shared across 12e9 devices?

In my experience the big holdouts these days are corporate networks. All my domestic ISPs (cell, home, data centre) provide IPv6 and most devices use it by default. Meanwhile at the office we’re struggling to bring up a new internal service because our v4 IPAM is a legacy mess where the most you can calve off is a “class A” /27.

I suspect the free trials let tesla collect orders of magnitude more data on events requiring human intervention. If each one is a learning event, it could exponentially improve things.

I tried it on a loaner car and thought it was pretty good.

One bit of feedback I would give tesla - when you get some sort of FSD message on the center screen, make the text BIG and either make it linger more, or let you recall it.

For example, it took me a couple tries to read the message that gave instructions on how to give tesla feedback on why you intervened.

This is a terrible example because it's simply not true:

> Davies gives the example of the case of Dominion Systems vs Fox News, in which Fox News repeatedly spread false stories about the election. No one at Fox seems to have explicitly made a decision to lie about voting machines; rather, there was an implicit understanding that they had to do whatever it took to keep their audience numbers up.

Rupert Murdoch conceded under oath that "Fox endorsed at times this false notion of a stolen election."[1] He knew the claims were false and decided not to direct the network to speak about it otherwise.

Communications from within Fox, by hosts, show they knew what they were saying was false.[2]

These two examples clearly fit the definition of lying [3].

The "External Links" section of Wikipedia gives references to the actual court documents that go into detail of who said what and knew what when [4]. There are many more instances which demonstrate that, indeed, people made explicit decisions to lie.

Accountability sinks sounds a lot like the Toyota factory story, where on the contrary, every employee in the factory could pull the 'stop' lever if they thought there was a quality problem. Which of course drastically increased quality and feedback because the process is interrupted and stops.

If governments and big tech want to help, they should upload one of their CSAM detection models to Hugging Face, so system administrators can just block it.

No one else but them can do it, since there's obviously no legal way to train such a model. Even though we know that governments have already done it.

You don’t just suddenly pay double for an entire team when you have endemic problems in the organization. Especially when Meta and Magic Leap were also throwing money at these people, and Apple was throwing their entire ecosystem might at it.

For some of these roles, it’s highly specialized people and you can’t find just any engineer to replace them. When your vision leaders leave, you can’t just find someone to replace them. When they’re leaving because the head of program is an abusive pervert, money isn’t enough to keep them.

And this is a recurring theme with anything outside of Microsoft’s core competencies. They cannot long term execute.

Windows and servers has been their competency since the 90s and has been firmly stuck there.

Microsoft do not have the necessary culture to do this. They leave things on the vine and see if it dies or blooms. They don’t weave a story or make strong ecosystem plays.

That’s the biggest difference between them and Apple. An Apple product comes with a vision story. It comes with the ecosystem.

> While the design of IPv6 consumed a lot of attention at the time, the concept of transition of the network from IPv4 to IPv6 did not.

> Given the runaway adoption of IPv4, there was a naive expectation that IPv6 would similarly just take off, and there was no need to give the transition much thought. In the first phase, we would expect to see applications, hosts and networks adding support for IPv6 in addition to IPv4, transforming the internet into a dual stack environment. In the second phase we could then phase out support for IPv4.

I really don't understand this, how do you not make a transition plan the #1 requirement for selecting the next IP. (But the article goes on to say...)

> Why do you think that the government is better positioned to allocate resources than the people who made the money?

It might not be, mainly because it's corrupt. Secondarily, because popular causes are not always wise. On the flip side though, in theory, government works on consensus, and making money is not the same as merit. Oftentimes, making a lot of money means you took the low road and stole it from a worthy cause, like treating your employees or customers fairly and not swindling them.

"their customers will have increased confidence in the security and trustworthiness of the hardware they deploy"

Funny how that also implies "we will have total control over what device we allow to run our software, and what we allow you to do with that"

Two sides of the same totalitarian coin.
That isn't my understanding of a leaky abstraction. An abstraction leaks when it's supposed to always behave in some certain, predictable way, but in practice, sometimes it doesn't. When does an async function not behave the way it's supposed to?
I think the article's diagnosis is spot on.

The urgency of IPv6 adoption was predicated on the assumption that every connected device, both server and client, needs a unique and stable IP address. Back when IPv6 was first discussed, you couldn't even host two HTTPS sites on the same IP/port combination! That was such a colossal waste of IP addresses.

Another thing that changed on the server side was that, thanks to AWS and the like, it became trivial to set up a massive private network. Nowadays you can have a cluster of thousands of virtual machines that communicate with one another entirely within a VPC. Only machines that need to communicate with external entities get a public IPv4 address. This kind of setup not only frees up a /20, but also has the benefit of being more secure.

Meanwhile, on the client side, the rise of mobile internet means that devices can no longer assume that it will have any given address for any length of time. Even if we had plenty of addresses to go around, like with IPv6, what can we do when the device moves across the country? It's easier to assign a new address than to try to route the old address to an entirely different ISP. Reducing the complexity of the routing table was one of the goals of IPv6, after all. Insisting on a unique and stable IP address for each mobile device would defeat that purpose.

As a result, most new applications are being built with the assumption that the IP address doesn't matter. You rent a few ports on someone else's IP for a few minutes to fire off a bunch of requests, just like you'd rent CPU cycles on someone else's machine to run some functions.
> can buy this thing and be on their phone when the car could potentially turn into oncoming traffic is mind boggling

This is incorrect. Teslas have driver monitoring software, and if the driver is detected using a phone while driving, will almost immediately give a loud warning and disable FSD.

I don’t disagree that pop culture has distilled spectrum down into a magnitude, but that isn’t how the DSM describes it or how professionals diagnose it (or in my experience how they communicate it). The metaphor is supposed to be like the light spectrum not “less autism ranging to more autism”. Severity scale is distinct to interacting traits of social issues and restricted interests and repetitive behaviors (the spectrum bit).
Why? I would hope we all expect pedestrian detection (and object detection in general) to be just as good on a freeway as on a city street? It seems the Tesla barreled full-speed into an accident ahead of it. I would call it insane but that would be anthropomorphizing it.
If you look at what makes it work well in the example, I would say it is being able to easily approximate a function with whatever degree of precision that you want, which translates to being able to isolate spikes in the approximation.

For example, one could ask, what if instead of an approximation by step functions, we use a piecewise linear approximation (which is as good)? You can do that with a fully connected artificial neural network with ReLU nonlinearity, and if you check it experimentally, you will see that the results are equivalent.

Why do people often use ensembles of tree structures? The ensembling part is included in the programming packages and that is not the case for ANN, so it is quicker to experiment with. Appart from that, if you have some features that behave like categorical variables, trees also behave better in training.
It's not just to manage file versioning. Yo can define a pipeline with different stages, the dependencies and outputs of each stage and DVC will figure out which stages need running depending on what dependencies have changed. Stages can also output metrics and plots, and DVC has utilities to expose, explore and compare those.
That, and/or freeway speeds make the situation inherently more dangerous. When the traffic flows freeway speeds are fine but if a freeway-speed car has to handle a stationary object…problem.
I’ve often wondered if going with 64-bit addresses with a dotted quad hex notation would have eased the roll-out. I remember a lot of resistance when IPv6 was first announced along the lines of “I can’t memorize/type in giant addresses and I don’t want to have to use DHCP and DNS everywhere.” It felt like IPv6 never recovered from a bad first impression.
I doubt another character assasination diatribe is going to help calm things down, or even bring any enlightenment to the peanut gallery.

I strongly suspect most ordinary people with neurotypical visual pipelines would find it helpful and more comprehensible over the same expression formatted as one line, regardless of their aptitude for math, or the semantics of programming.

VR, if done right, has many fairly obvious use cases. In my opinion it only seems so useless because of botched market targeting. It would have been better to follow the natural technical learning curve from high-paying early adopters to premium entertainment and office gear to mass market -- once the tech has matured and prices have come way down. But Meta &co have thought "wow, this is going to be big" and "let's try to grab as much market share as possible" and decided to go straight to mass market. And yeah, now we have cheap headsets with terrible resolution that are only useful for consuming cheap VR entertainment and this Metaverse thing that nobody actually wants.
