Yeah after reading this article I'm vastly not impressed with these "projects" unless you think that doing things just to do things is important. Web assembly? Uhhh yeah no thanks. Ohhh json formatter. Not like there are probably 10 of those already. How about rewriting tensorflow in java?

I was taught not to drive fast on roads like that, specifically due to the risk of hydroplaning. Significantly slower than the likely speed limit, unless the speed limit on your highway was 60 kmph. You never do know how good your braking action is going to be, so preemptively slowing down is the only option.

I don’t believe your driving was safe. I also don’t believe you were taught driving correctly, assuming you’re American, and I might also believe that driving slowly would have been equally dangerous, if the other cars did not.

Furthermore, I don’t believe a reckless driving charge without injury should be a criminal matter or that a criminal conviction should destroy someone’s livelihood.

However, four wrongs don’t make a right. It just makes a mess.
It’s not, the author either does not know what they are talking about and/or is mistranslating to English. You can clearly see in the photos that this car has electronic fuel injection, but simply has a physical throttle body- something that most cars still had for about a decade after this vehicle was made.
I think we can all feel safe in the knowledge that Ellison and Oracle are far too incompetent for this to ever become a reality.
In the Seattle area there’s a huge trend of reoffending criminals performing larger crimes as time goes, because they face no real consequences. This is happening because activist judges, who typically run unopposed and don’t face consequences themselves, are releasing dangerous criminals back into the public. As a recent example, an activist judge released a teen who committed felony robbery back into the public, against prosecutors’ pleas, and he ended up stabbing and disemboweling another teen.

I appreciate that, and I'm sure we feel very similarly about the importance of individual freedoms. My snark has to do with the fact that I find your comments on political threads to be ideological and uninteresting, which is disappointing as someone who thinks highly of your work (and talks) on programming.
you'd implement it so that each group is compartmentalized and no one can confirm the whole of the story, and only a single digit number of people know the full truth. one exec, one lawyer, one software engineer. and it'd have to be the software engineer dealing with releases, so they can modify the code last minute before it gets submitted. this presumes the CI system is unable to send apps to -Apple/Google itself, so it still has to be run by hand on your laptop (for some mysterious reason). if the code in the repo isn't able to do real-time monitoring, and if the data that gets sent to the ads team is inteltionally delayed and sufficiently anonymous that they can't tell by looking up past reports that theres real time surveillance happening, then everyone else involved could be vehemently asserting what they know, but which doesn't match the reality after the fix is put in.

I don't actually believe this, mind you, but theorizing on how you'd pull something like this off, the answer is compartmentalization.

All it would take on iOS is an innocent looking bug buried somewhere deep in any number of subsystems that make it so that the red dot for recording doesn't go on as often as it should. just a totally accidental buffer overflow that makes it fall to set the recording active flag when called a certain way. The XZ thing was down to a single character, and that's one of the most watched projects in the world. A latent iOS bug that no one's looking for

Again, not saying I believe this is even happening in the first place, just that it's not technically impossible, just highly improbable.

Before things like the FBI and the telegraph it was quite common for Americans to find a new life in another state. You could be married in New York but nobody in Montana would know unless they actively started an investigation.

But this model introduces an incentive to artificially bump the major version ASAP so as to be able to charge again for updates. One way this happens is with feature creep, to justify a new version every few months. A "done" application wouldn't reasonably get a new major version ever, so the software becomes ever-growing and then bloat ends up happening.
What's the value in saying this? They're side projects! They don't need to be impressive.

Linux supports vgafb/vesafb so this is possible if the distribution is configured appropriately.

I think some/most distributions might not enable it out of the box because it would generally result in a low performance/quality experience and the user not realizing what the problem is, and nowadays almost all GPUs are supported natively, so nobody has invested in writing code to show a "Using unaccelerated VGA/VESA, you may want to fix this" popup.
This is something I mention to the younger kids at start parties. Way back then, there was no internet, no devices, no tv, no radio, no movies, and more importantly no easily accessible calendars. You couldn't help but look up at the night sky. There was really nothing else to do, and when the only thing available to know when to plant and harvest was based on the constellations visible at the time. It helps put things into a way that helps them think about it even if they can't quite comprehend not having devices.
I believe it's Scandinavia, or maybe Denmark, where there is no punishment for escaping or attempting to escape prison.

The courts, community has decided the need to be free is a fundamental human drive, and cannot be punished.

Sure, when you're caught, you'll be taken back to complete your sentence, but you won't get additional punishment for the effort.
Yeah, I agree this should be using a fixed exposure (possibly on a schedule) with locked white balance. They are using an astro camera so the sensor is very sensitive, they can get away with extremely low exposure times.

tl;dr: Today China vs US is 19% vs 16% world GDP. By 2035, it will be 24% vs 14%. China will be large economy, US can't beat China. Unless there is a nuclear war, which is probably less than ideal.
Thanks. I don’t think we disagree on major points. Maybe there is a communication barrier and it may be on me. I came from a computational math/science/statistics background to ML. These next token prediction algorithms are of course learned mappings. Not sure one needs anything else when the mappings involve reasonably powerful abilities. If you are perhaps from a pure CS background and you think about search, then, yes one could simply explore a sequence of A’:B’ -> A’’:B’’ -> … before finding A:B and use the conditional probability formula of the sequence as the guiding point for a best first search or MCTS expansion (if the training data had a similar structure). Are there other ways to learn that type of search? Probably. But what I meant above by algorithm is what you correctly understood as the mapping itself: the transformer computes intermediate useful quantities distributed throughout its weights and sometimes centered at different depths so that it can eventually produce the step mapping of A’:B’ -> A:B. We don’t yet have a clean disassembler to probe this trained “algorithm” so there are some rare efforts where we can map this mapping back to conventional pseudo-code but not in the general case (and I wouldn’t even know how easy it would be for us to work with a somehwat shorter but still huge functional form that translates English language to a different language, or to computer code.) Part of why o1-like efforts didnt start before we had reasonably powerful architectures and the required compute, is that these types of “algorithm” developments require large enough models (though we had those since a couple years now) and relevant training data (which are easier to procure/build/clean up with the aid of the early tools).
eSIMs all need to have a chain of trust all the way back to some GSMA gatekeepers. As usual with all kinds of mobile telco stuff, it's never open and really doesn't like people messing around (partly because people messing around might find how much of a broken, insecure and "designed by committee" shit-show most of it is).
> For example, in San Francisco, there are about 4700 car related injuries and deaths per year; about 800000 people; and the life expectancy is high at 83. This gives you 41 years for a cumulative 25% chance to have been involved in your first car injury.

It doesn't account for the fact that people can be injured more than once. Taking that into account, the number would be closer to 50 years. It also makes agency more relevant if most of the injuries are concentrated in a smaller group of people (ex: bikers).

> The discount for panopticon approved safe driving is a pathetic 5-10%!

Well, in France, the maximum discount for safe driving is officially -50%, and the maximum penalty for unsafe driving is +250%, calculated based on your history of at-fault accidents. That's a 7x difference! Not only that but if you get into too many accidents, the insurance company may cancel your contract, usually forcing you to go for insurance companies that specialize in high risk customers, which are even more expensive. I don't know about the insurance system where you live, but a 5-10% difference seems crazy.
From the OP:

> A Las Vegas police spokesperson told me they stopped “dividing squads by a suspect’s race” a year before Kinch retired.

and later:

> In 2016, he turned in his badge, a year after the saga broke in the local press.

If all those facts are consistent, they had a 'Black squad' until 2015.

Edit: An aside in an article and piecing together facts that were not necessarily intended to be consistent can result in bad misunderstandings. We need more information to understand it.

But at the same time, let's be careful about proceeding like scientists and making the null hypothesis 'it wasn't racist' or even 'there isn't racism', requiring 99.9% certainty. That's one way members of the status quo perpetuate bad things, even without meaning to. It's a rationalization ('I'm thinking about this scientifically!') for plain old self-serving bias - I'm innocent of anything until there are scientific levels of proof, and then I'll still keep questioning it and probably just refuse to believe it. It's an impossible mountain to climb; in those discussions, the status quo will never agree.

There are other approaches, such as a preponderance of evidence, to borrow the legal term.
reduce the stress levels / levels of stress hormones of people with Parkinson's to practically zero. don't fuck with the other pathways and metabolisms.

without drugs, that is, or rather, preferably, as any drug has micro impacts on various pathways/metabolisms that are not directly targeted.

this does mean that you might have to remove certain people from their proximity while keeping them in trustworthy and familiar environments.

watch the magic unfold.
They tend to lead to more unsafe overtakings since getting stuck behind one is stressful, they’re driven by young people who have a license to drive a moped and haven’t gone through the ice-driving classes a regular Swedish driver’s license includes, and the cars are often older inherently unsafer car models lacking proper maintenance.

And a chunk of people driving them violate the framework and drive extra passengers, bypass the speed limiter, and drink and drive.

LMAO. Twenty-nine states have a three strikes rule, and their violent crime hasn't decreased by half.

Personally I would lose the snarky title though. I doubt many have seen that particular YouTube video.

It's not a kink subculture. There are kink subcultures within it, but the only common factor among all the subcultures inside it is an appreciation for anthropomorphism.
I love this level of prompt/response iteration and I think the most remarkable part is how vanilla, open ended, ambiguous, and simple all the prompts are.

That leads me to believe that the "manager" task itself may be one of the most trivial to automate.

It is fun but yes, definitely needs fresh players.
Thanks for the perspective. I'm not a musician but have some among my friends and family where I've observed their general approach over decades.

I think your point about similarities among some composers or genres is akin to the point about similarities in a genre of programming. You can easily produce your Nth version of CRUD app, audio or video filter, standard statistical analysis, etc. But changing to a different genre can require significant practice and learning. I think musicians face this just like programmers, without having to change instruments.

I think that musicians must do a lot more regular work, like athletes, to retain or recover their physical form. But, I don't really believe there are "programmer's hands" that can get clumsy after mere months of downtime. After all, even if our typing slows down, it isn't really a gating factor in being able to produce complex products. It might even be a benefit, when it biases one towards more compact solutions rather than churning out baroque monstrosities!
I’ve done a lot of both screen and paper based work in coffee shops, including Starbucks, and the thing that’s scarred me after all these years is the constant playing of music. Even with ear plugs and over the ear muffs it can only cancel out so much.
Am only able to spend maybe an hour or so doing anything in a coffee shop now - agree with all the rest of your points though

Database choice doesn't actually matter until it actually matters.

The project I want to do, is tiny and kind of niche. If it ever succeed, it will be around 1-2 million visits per month kind of website at most, I've seen some website peaking at 30m, but there is only one like that, from the data I know.

The problem you have right now is getting to that level of success. There are many many problems to solve and things to learn before you get there. Building is the only way to make progress. Building is hard work. Research is easy and not really work.

I've enjoyed MySQL the most so far

Then, why not use that? Good luck.
This looks a bit cumbersome to write to me.

I really like the JS preview/rendering plugins for fenced code blocks in Markdown. For example Mermaid, which is supported by many Markdown renderers or IDEs. [1]

Indeed. That’s what I meant by “ US industrial policy is especially bad”. It’s usually a regulatory capture thing here.

I dont think journalists really find J6 to be important at all. Even left leaning journalists pay lip service to it but shrugs, buncha white dudes blowing off steam I think is how "everyone" sees this. As evidence, look at the election we just had.

It reminds me of how the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993. Oh, that was scary, well, whatever, the dudes in jail, shrugs. Because it failed to bring the building down. For me, I was like, holy crap people are trying to blow up the WTC arent they going to....keep trying? but that's just not how people think. Super scary thing that failed == ho hum.
It’s sort of alluded to but I suspect journalists get a whole lot of false tips from various mentally unhealthy folk, which perhaps appear much like Williams’ in this story.
You hit another vehicle, at excessive speed, in poor weather. Fortune meant that the occupants of that other vehicle were not injured or worse.

Writing it off as "Oh, I was just clueless" is a little downplaying.

Yes, it's a one off instance, but the stakes in vehicles can be very high, hence our requirements for licensing and insurance.
> Approval ratings are stupid. The 27% on a ~65% turnout roughly corresponds to the % who voted for them

That’s the point! Labour can win the election under the UK’s rules but at the end of the day the Labour government is immediately unpopular it doesn’t have the support of anything close to a majority of voters.

“Coalitions” exist in politics regardless of the election rules. In the U.S., parties have to form internal coalitions. In Germany, parties need to form coalitions between multiple parties. In the UK and Canada, a party can win a majority of seats without anything approaching a majority of voters, but that’s not sustainable. Nationalism eviscerated the traditional Labour base, which is why they lost in a landslide in 2019. In the long run, a party can’t government with a sub-30% approval rating. What’ll likely happen is that you’ll get a game of ping pong where Labour just gets voted out in the next election.
Or be racist

From your use of “kmph” I’m going to guess that you live in a country with decent driver training.

I’m in the US, where driver training goes just slightly beyond checking if the candidate is capable of fogging a mirror. I learned in a northern state so we learned a lot about how to deal with ice and snow, but I don’t think there was anything about rain. If there was, I’d forgotten it in the 20+ years since I last had any training or check.

I agree with you that my driving was unsafe and I wasn’t taught well. I don’t think my behavior even came close to criminal.

I am confused about your assessment of my charge. You previously said it was correct. Now you think it shouldn’t have been a criminal charge?

That's not what I'm thinking. Where exactly should those $25 go? If there is such an easy place, fine, go ahead. I personally don't see one, since there are many giants on whose shoulders he is standing on.

There are other options, many of them have been mentioned in this discussion.

I suppose my main point is that the apparently new quite inexperienced guy, as appreciated as his enthusiasm is, should at some point understand that all the tech he uses for free didn't fall from the sky and just whipping the cream that floats on top for personal profit is not a sustainable model. Even though that seems to be the trend these days.
To be fair, how the term is normally used depends entirely on the group within which the term is being used. For many, racism is strictly “prejudice + power”, which logically concludes in the [in my opinion rather warped] idea that some groups are incapable of racism, which is at odds with the definition you’re citing
I don't think the threshhold is that significant. The main difference I'd like to see is that we apply the change to timezones, not to the underlying "count number of seconds" clock. But I think timezones aren't able to be specified to sub-minute precision, so 5 minutes is just as good as 1 minute.
It's not a skill issue, it's a sunlight and temperature issue based on geographical science. There are hard limitations, including the length of the growing season. Canadians are also arrogant; most have never tasted the produce in California. Just look at what we call "Farmers Markets" here and compare to SF Bay Area and NYC Union Square Greenmarket. Even a trip to an American Whole Foods groceries section is scales off the eyes as to the quality differential.

Well, I originally missed the “criminal” bit. I was agreeing that it was reckless. A misdemeanour wouldn’t be considered a criminal charge where I live; it goes through a similar system, but has far fewer implications.

The original fine seems reasonable.
