You must identify whether any of your processing falls under Article 22 [automated decision making, including AI] and, if so, make sure that you:

* give individuals information about the processing;

* introduce simple ways for them to request human intervention or challenge a decision;

* carry out regular checks to make sure that your systems are working as intended.

Why in gods name has the USA not adopted similar common sense legislation?
It's a developer experience thing. Moves many bugs from runtime to coding time, letting you catch them preemptively and fix them right in the IDE without going through build cycles or hot reloads. You instantly know if something will break because of mismatched types.

Probably doesn't matter much for performance. It all gets stripped away during build anyway.
There aren’t many telemetry transfer protocols suitable for IoT besides MQTT (especially for resource constrained systems). It is incredibly simple to implement, has numerous libraries available in various programming languages, is supported by major cloud providers and is designed to operate over TCP (meaning you avoid DTLS).

We have shipped many products that use MQTT for telemetry transfer to various different vendor servers and it always just worked. It was never a pain-point in stark contrast to CoAP or some proprietary protocols.

"more than offsetting losses due to the recycling process"

if you recycle a 50kwh battery into a 100kwh battery, you aren't going to offset any of the energy used in actually recycling that battery (unless we're assuming that theres another efficiency, lighter weight? that offsets the losses)

I agree with you, but also worth noting that NASA paid Boeing 4.6B to build it with the expectation that it can be used. There is a “sink cost” issue here, but realistically that’s on Boeing not NASA. They should at least elbow Boeing into fixing it.

Letting Boeing walk away from a fixed price contract because they screwed up is going to lead to lots of future low-ball fixed-price “whoops, sorry” issues. Plusfrom an engineering standpoint, Boeing should fix it to prove their competency for future contracts

“If you disclose your invention publicly and do not file an application within one year, you could be barred from receiving a patent on that exact invention,”

Wasn't this rule retired? I vaguely remember something in this regard.

"It's also a game with large capital requirements "

True. And many BS patents from big corporations are getting granted because their lawyers fight day and night to have it granted. And many solid patents from single inventors get rejected. The patent examiner is just lazy, likely does not even read your applications and rejects it on grounds that make it obvious that he has neither, read nor understood your applications (dont ask :-) ). While this can be fixed, it leaves your skeptical about the whole system.

alternate syntax at https://oortcloud.flounder.online/junk/ (sorry, very telegraphic!)

[with mostly up-to-date semantics, but this year I gave up on approximating (≲), which is \refines in the suite, in the language itself; the following seems to be more productive (for technical reasons related to using an implementation-specific total order):

FNull <= f && f <= f NB. <= is discrete

where equality of closures is pessimistic, based on lexical source and equality of the captured environments, so:

f <= g ==> f \refines g
f \refines g <=> f`x ~ g`x

using (`) as application]

it may help to read chapter 2 of https://www.cs.utoronto.ca/~hehner/aPToP/ for the basic data structure inspiration; another alternate syntax would be to stick with his (for data; this all grew out of wishing to treat functions very differently)

I've also been inspired by the Boom Hierarchy (in terms of trying to put laws, especially distributive/module laws, first) but as my areas of interest don't run to commercial proggys, I haven't found a use for the bag level. [Lamport stuttering, otoh, suggests that ordered but absorbing would be a useful abstraction — and I think that'd easily be buildable on top of this basis]

if I can remember out my creds for oortcloud, and it would help, I can make available a browser-based precedence tool that translates expressions in the JUNK syntax into their abstract trees.
Which still means it's a remaster/different mix.

I used to be like you many years ago, thinking that high samplerates and bit depth were essential and the ultimate way of getting the best possible sound quality, but in reality 44.1khz 16bit is plenty for humans. Get over it. Whoever mixed the 192khz version essentially remastered it and put a bit of a spice over it. You can easily prove it by producing a downmixed 44khz version (use a high quality resampler) from the 192khz version and trying to blind ABX both, I doubt you will be able to spot any difference, and if you do, congratulations your sound system has some weird intermodulation issue from the high frequencies present in the high sample rate version, that is causing a listenable sound to appear (which should not be there).
>> As someone who benefited greatly from a few mentors in childhood and adolescence, my goal is to be able to give the same to at least a few other people in my lifetime.

+1. Same for me.

Relationships has been more important than what I could consider ideal or optimal (in terms of how many missed opportunities are there).

Once I was reading a technical paper from a colleague and could not follow much. Spoke to him and he could explain the crux of it in two-three sentences. I was left wondering why that was not there in the paper itself. But that happens repeatedly. People are able to explain much better than the literature they produce*.

This perhaps has a contribution as to why good relationships and mentors end up being so important. But then, this ultimately comes in the way of scalability.

* Of course, it may possibly also be that in a verbal conversation when the author personally knows the reader, they can explain to that reader better. However, I think this effect is less important than people being able to write better.
You're correct. Apologies for the vagueness.
I would say a module is the entire battery system, or at minimum a standardised self contained unit with battery balancing/cooling built in.

> All addons are disabled on system pages.

Yes, this is true for all WebExtensions. But I don't care if uBlock Origin or any other extension I use doesn't work on "system pages". However, I'd like to use my choice of navigation wherever I am in the browser.

Keyboard navigation requires a deeper integration with the browser (than WebExtensions allows for) to achieve a consistent experience.

> Vimium works on any tab, indipendently from the others.

What I'm trying to say is that Vimium keyboard navigation stops working when a page is loading.

I tried to illustrate my frustration to those only used to mouse navigation by saying that switching tabs with your mouse buttons and pointer freezed if the current page was loading. That would suck, right?

> I don't understand your glitches, really.

Do yourself a service and just be happy that you can't tell the difference between XUL generation keyboard navigation and the current state if affairs. :-D

It does. An <a> doesn't work as usual when it's within a <button> for instance.

<button> already behaves differently depending on the type of form it's in, or whether it's in a form at all.

Let me put it another way: If you use a <select> today, what's the difference between the thing that renders on the page and a <button>? They look different, sure, but that's a matter of styling. You can already style a <button> to look like a <select> activator.

They can receive focus, and they can be activated. They're buttons.

Haven’t seen this done much but it does seem to have some desirable properties. My biggest concern when using it as a system component has been durability guarantees. I don’t have a lot of trust on broker implementations not to lose data.
My experience using MQTT has been through the paho python MQTT library, and, while we definitely have managed to get a lot done, it has been a terrible experience.

Everything about it rubs me the wrong way. The API design, the poor documentation, even the way they seem to not adhere to typical python conventions.

It looks like it's easy to start using it, but then the breadth of protocols and implementations start getting to you. At a point in time, I remember the only reliable way we had of knowing if we had successfully connected to a server was to try to subscribe to a topic twice and catch a specific error code on the on_connect message (which actually was documented as a success code at the time). I know how crazy it sounds and maybe there was a better way to do it, but, if there was, I don't think it was that easy to find.

It's easy to complain, though. I'm very grateful so many people have worked to create this library. If they hadn't, I wouldn't have built what we've built with it. I really admire people who take on these huge projects.

Show HN: Scrambled Maps – a daily map challenge
Scrambled Maps is a daily challenge in which you have to rearrange a scrambled city map. There is a new city every day chosen at random from a feed of 28,000 cities around the world. The map uses OpenStreetMap tiles. If the daily map has whetted your appetite it is possible to play any of the other 28,000 cities (there is a link on the game's home page).

Sometimes a coastal city's map might include a lot of blue (sea) tiles. In early testing players got a bit frustrated with lots of tiles of the same color - as it was hard to determine their correct position on the map - except through trial and error. Now the game tests for all pixels in each tile and if a number of tiles are of the same colour then they become interchangeable on the map.
Is my english that bad or this is an AI bot?
In the context of AI, it's possible that OpenAI is already doing this. From what I know, Singapore has the most pro-AI law currently, where any legally-acquired material can be used as training data, and you can legally ignore all opt-outs (e.g. in the ToS, noAI, etc). OpenAI has recently opened an office there. I'm not sure if it's related, but it's possible.

Maybe this is why LAION was in the EU, too? They have a similar law too, though from what I know they require commercial entities to respect opt-outs.

(Related to sibling comments; Japan seems to have one too.)

"Driver Involvement Rates per 100,000 Licensed Drivers by Age Group, Sex, and Crash Severity", per the linked article.

The metric is useless in the first place, this is "per licensed drivers", not "per driver-miles".

It's a certainty that men drive more miles than women, primarily for job purposes. The NHTSA doesn't give enough data to determine this. My guess is that it's split almost exactly evenly per-mile, but who knows, without the data?

Can you tell me why doctors are totally useless in diagnosing extremely common issues like acid reflux. Why do GI specialists have no freaking clue what is causing acid reflux. Why do they not know what how exactly my a1c is relevant to heart disease instead of just prescribing me a statin.

I personally know couple of doctors who themselves are clueless in fixing their own chronic conditions. Let alone helping someone else.

Sure go to the doctor if you broke your arm but they are totally out of their depths if you have any chronic conditions. Not sure what exactly they study for like a decade if they don't have answers to almost anything.
That is an interesting question. Here you can see the actual popularity of each library within Boost: https://grafikrobot.github.io/boost_lib_stats/. Also, see the comments at https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/130bzj8/has_boost_lost.... My company has been heavily utilizing Boost.Asio and Boost.Beast, so we've definitely reached for Boost in newer projects as well.
Yep. I tried the custom-root-CA approach for a long time, but there were just too many problems with it:

* Loading it into every device was more work than it sounds. We have Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, and Linux, all of which have their own rules.

* Even once loaded, some applications come with their own set of root CAs. Some of those have a custom way of adding a new one (Firefox), others you just had to accept the invalid cert each time, and still others just refused to work.

* I deploy my self-hosted stuff with Docker, which means that not only does each device need to have the root CA added to it but every Docker image that talks to the internal network needs to have it as well. This ends up being a mix of the previous two problems, as I now have to figure out how to mount the CA on an eclectic bunch of distros and I often then have to figure out why the dockerized application isn't using the CA.

In the end I settled on a DNS-challenge wildcard SSL cert loaded into Caddy, with Caddy terminating TLS for everything that's on my home server. It's way simpler to configure the single server (or even 2-3 servers) than every single client.

Looks good, but I want to MitM my network. I want youtube.com to redirect to my internal server that only has a few approved videos. My kids do some nice piano lessons from youtube, but every time I let them they wait until I'm out of the room and then switch to something else. There are lots of other great educational videos on youtube, but also plenty to waste their time on. (I want this myself as well since I won't have ads on my internal youtube server - plus it will add an extra step and thus keep me from getting distracted to something that isn't a good use of my time to watch))

From what I understand Singapore is also connected into a larger Asian grid, albeit mostly running on fossil fuels currently.

So this has extra impact also, as once they unlock Singapore, they could potentially start to push renewables into much more of the grid. So yeah a big deal if they can pull it off, hope they do.
That's right. But it does create doubt.

To prove, we would need to find such life.

To not have doubt, we need to have a reasonably high confidence that such life is there. However, the estimates are so wild and range from very unlikely to no-doubt. Thus, there is doubt (to the best we understand).
> I don't see how it is related is relevant to this discussion.

Because it was brought up as a subtopic in my original comment and someone quote responded directly to it.
I'm appalled at the amount of bad advice here. 12 hours and 35 answers after the question was asked there is only one correct response [1], plus one that doesn't really offer advice but asks followup questions that might lead them to a correct response.

The person says in their first paragraph:

> I had a neuropsych evaluation which commented on my poor memory and inability to think.

This suggests that something might be going on that is more than the usual reasons a person might feel that they aren't good at thinking. The usual reasons include inadequate eduction, lack of practice, lack of motivation, and similar.

Almost all the answers are suggesting ways that would be appropriate if the problem was due to one of those usual reasons.

Those are unlikely to actually help much if the problem is medical. Worse, they could lead to the person wasting time trying them instead of dealing with the medical problem.

A word of warning, client side support of name constraints may still be incomplete. I know it works on modern Firefox and Chrome, but there's lots of other software that uses HTTPS.

This repo links to BetterTLS, which previously audited name constraint support, but BetterTLS only checked name constraint support at the intermediary certificates not at the trust anchors. I reported[1] the oversight a year back, but Netflix hasn't re-engineered the tests.

Knowing how widely adopted name constraints are on the client side would be really useful, but I haven't seen a sound caniuse style analysis.

Personally, I think the public CA route is better and I built a site that explores this[2].
