Seriously.

And in Bluebird and Artichoke the US directly continued that work, and not in some kind of "generic spirit" way, but in literal extensions of existing programs using people gathered via Paperclip. And in Korea the US used bioweapons developed by the Japanese during a retreat in late 1952.

The Japanese were indeed horrible during the war. The take that the Germans and the US treatment of "expendable" humans during and after these wars was somehow more justified or less horrific is a uniquely horrible and ahistorical take.
> Interest in autonomous driving appears to be cooling across the board.

My pet theory is that it really took off because a bunch of investors were hoping to capture and capitalize on the baby boomers aging out of being able to easily drive themselves. They tried to speed up technological advancements in order to meet that window of a large more-affluent cohort of potential customers.

So it might be interesting to somehow plot total "self driving" investment against that kind of customer base projection over time.
Well, no. The measurements are the things that actually happen, the events that comprise reality. The distribution may be part of the map, but it is definitely not the territory.
It is the ARM version of Windows 11. The phone runs on an ARM-compatible CPU. Since Apple went to ARM with Apple Silicon possibly the PC standard will go to ARM. This will hurt Intel's sales.

> Weather and climate models have their own physics, which at the very least means that the solution is physical for the universe that particular model inhabits. The boundary conditions are parameterized, and those can be tweaked as climate and land use changes.

That really isn't true these days. The dynamical cores and physics packages in numerical weather prediction models and general circulation models have more-or-less converged over the past two decades. For instance, you'll find double-moment microphysical schemes in a cross-section of both classes of models, and slightly specialized versions of full-fledged GCMs can be be run within assimilation frameworks to generate true-blooded weather forecasts.

> AI models don’t have any of that, but they are actually more akin to human forecasters, gaining forecast skill from pattern recognition

This grossly sells short what the current crop of AI weather models is capable of, and how they're formulated. It's best to think of them as "emulators" of their physics-based cousins; they're trained to reproduce the state transitions from t=t0 to t=t0+delta_t that an NWP system would generate. It's a bit reductive to call this "pattern matching", especially when we increasingly see that the emulators recover a fair bit of fundamental dynamics (e.g. Greg Hakim's work which reproduces idealized dycore tests on AI-NWP models and clearly demonstrates that they get some things surprisingly correct - even though the setups in these experiments is _far_ from real-world conditions).
I tried using this a bit in an earlier version, when there was an option to have a real SQL client library/ORM, and you declared what part of the schema would exist client side. Is there plans to bring this back?

The part where you could use drizzle client side was really what interested me, I don't want to bother learning another new query language apart from SQL.
US math education is extremely unequal. The private highschools, selective academies (Stuyvessant in NYC, Thomas Jefferson Highschool in Virginia, High Technology High School in NJ, etc), and the public high schools of the wealthiest suburbs are much more stringent. There is a huge difference between your "average" US high school that might get 20 kids through AP Calc A, bad ones that might get none, and the good schools that get almost ALL of the students through at least AP Calc A or Stats and some through BC.

Some of the strategies I employ include:

I put a prime on sleep, diet, and exercise.
I optimize my hormones.
I downregulate the mTOR pathway.
I take pharmaceutical drugs aimed at improving metabolic health.
I employ several behavioral, hormonal, and pharmaceutical strategies to delay cancer, atherosclerosis, and neurodegeneration.
I cleared my body of (some) senescent cells with senolytic drugs.
I monitor dozens of health markers.
I take a handful of supplements.

This is not really about quantum computing. A classical probabilistic Turing samples from a random distribution:

"probabilistic Turing machines can be defined as deterministic Turing machines having an additional "write" instruction where the value of the write is uniformly distributed"

I remember that probabilistic Turing machines are not more powerful than deterministic Turing machines, though Wikipedia is more optimistic:

"suggests that randomness may add power."

Umm, yeah. Maybe I wasn't clear.

MB Drive Pilot is designed not to attempt to operate outside of a well-defined domain.

It will, by design, not operate in a way that is unsafe or in a context in which it's unsafe.

You are arguing the system would perform worse in contexts in which you have not seen it perform (because its designers decided to prevent it from such attempts).

What evidence do you have for your argument?

Restated: You are assuming that if Mercedes engineers had a similar appetite for putting millions of innocent people at risk by operating in unreliable contexts, that their system would perform far worse than FSD does. On what basis do you make that assumption?

The current crop of AI weather models captures a surprisingly robust array of "core dynamics". E.g., recent work by Hakim and Masanam [1] reproduce classic dynamical core test cases on AI weather models and show that in many cases they robustly capture the expected dynamical responses to these highly idealized setups - setups far outside the bounds of what the models are trained on. What this means is that the causal or dynamical mechanisms producing a particular flow regime can very directly be inferred from the model.

"non-secular schools with lower standard"

Any source for this? My understanding is that most states have criteria for what needs to be taught in a primary and secondary school, regardless of public or non-secular. In my experience (attending, touring, friends who are teachers), the non-secular schools had higher standards.

"concentrating behavior issue and IEP kids in public schools"

Public schools in many areas are increasingly doing this by sending G-IEP to entirely separate schools. Indirectly, they are also doing this by increasing school population. Smaller communities tend to better self-police. The biggest issue is the lack of appropriate involvement followed by the lack of leverage the school has. In some areas, some non-public schools even get district IEP resources for their IEP students, so they aren't all avoiding it.

This is very cool. How does this compare to tools like Celery and Dagster?

Like we might use Celery when we need to run specific tasks on specific workers (e.g. accessing some database that sits inside a corporate network, not accessible from the cloud). It seems like we can do something like that using DBOS queues or events, but is there a concept of running multiple workers in different locations?

Compared to Dagster, a DBOS workflow seems like a de facto DAG, running the steps in the right order, and being resumable if a step fails, and the difference here would be that with Dagster the steps are more granular, in the sense that we can re-run a specific step in isolation? In other words, a DBOS workflow will retry failed steps, but can we submit a request to “only re-run step 2”? This comes up often in working with ETL-style tasks, where steps 1 and 2 complete, but we need to resubmit steps 3 and 4 of a pipeline.

Dagster also provides nice visual feedback, where even a non-technical user can see that step 3 failed, and right-click it to materialize it. Maybe I need to play with the OpenTelemetry piece to see how that compares.

Celery and Dagster have their own drawbacks (heavier, complexity of more infrastructure, learning curve), so just trying to see where the edges are, and how far we could take a tool like DBOS. From an initial look, it seems like it could address a lot of these scenarios with less complexity.

Why flashcards and memorizing vocabulary? I'd think more customization settings would be best, so you could learn in a way that works well for you, gaining the skills you need. Personally, I often find myself wishing I could read untranslated Spanish literature, so some sort of way to say "no, for my purposes I just need to know how to read and I don't need to learn about restaurants or shopping" would be best.

Basically, give people a very customizable course (with defaults if you don't want to fiddle around in settings) and lots of side tools, and let them decide how to use it.

Why not?

And how did you come up with your taxonomy on animal intelligence and acceptable amount of suffering to inflict them?

> egg farms are so inhumane

Because they are? Industrial cages don’t even have enough space for the chicken to turn around. They are spent after a year of laying eggs and slaughtered for meat. Hatched chicks that are male are ground alive. Chickens get their beaks (that has a lot of nerves in it) sliced off without anesthesia. They get pumped full of antibiotics because diseases are rampant in high density farming. Chicken breast chickens are engineered to grow huge breasts too fast and they can’t even stand up.

Industrial farming is the worst, but any kind of farming comes at the expense of the animal wellbeing. Money not spent on the animal is money earned: that is fundamentally broken and can’t result in good outcomes for the animal especially when they can’t express themselves the way we can.
I don't understand why OSI didn't pick an actually trademarkable term and license its use to projects that meet its ideals of open-sourceness.

Firstly there's the issue of good and bad science and the amount of taking it on trust those in government are willing to extend to such advisers and the second direct problem is the almost inevitable situation of ending up with a complete moron or woo-woo somewhere in that mix.

Think of it this way: you've probably heard about the million monkeys on a million typewriters will eventually produce Shakespeare? Ultimately something deeply meaningful like that is just a sequence of symbols and you generate enough randomo sequences of symbols, one or more of them will be literature.

A Boltzman Brain is basically that but for a quantum system. In the far future, it's suspected the Universe will undergo heat death and eventaully reach thermodynamic equilibrium but that doesn't mean nothing happens on a quantum level. A chaotic system as otherwise thermodynamic equilibrium is still capable of having temporary, localized order without violating entropy.

So over any sufficiently long period of time (we're talking 10^100000+ years here), you'll get all sorts of interesting arranagements of matter. One of these is a localized reality where it or being in it are capable of sentience.. They won't have any conception of the Universe outside of this but, for a time, they will be able to contemplate their reality.

Think of it another way: take a bucket filled with random elements, mix it and tip it on the floor. Do this enough times and one of those bucket pours will be sentient life.

> Who in the US makes surface mount resistors, capacitors, inductors

Adding to this point, don't underestimate passive components! For some applications, such as RF, you can't just change inductors with another inductor that have the same inductance value. Because they will have different parasitic capacitance and resistance, which will affect RF performance.

Passive components are surprisingly involved, they even have their own news site: https://passive-components.eu/

EDIT: Its not just RF, capacitor selection matters for power converters too. Do you know that multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) can lose 70% of their rated capacitance at high DC bias voltage? This is what happened if someone doesn't realize that: https://www.reddit.com/r/embedded/comments/1cs2c5l/todays_re...

If I specced an inductor or MLCCs, I can't just change it. This means if any country wants to have electronics supply chain in house, they need to bring all of the passive components back, or they can't manufacture things.

Electronics is not just 5nm chips, those chips that always in the news need support components
