One of the few things I agree with Trump. Join North and South Dakota into a single state ( The Great State of Dakota? ) and make Greenland the 50th state. We wouldn't even need to replace any flags. It's always been a dream of mine to have greenland as part of the US. It's a natural fit. The west coast has alaska, the east coast should have greenland.

Also, we need annex all the territory south of the st lawrence river and divide it amongst new york, vermont, new hampshire and maine. It wouldn't require too much work. Just extend the borders of these states vertically north to the st lawrence river.

Edit: Honestly what was flag worthy about my comment? It's insane what triggers people.

This is key. The yen is still weak, so framing it in terms of today's value in USD is going to make it seem much more affordable than it actually is for the average Japanese person.

I also work for a big US tech company. If it’s not standard practice, I’m happy to hear it.
See the “well ordering theorem”.
A 200 mile range would cover 99% of American commutes. The real issue is that Americans buy their cars for road trips. Even if it’s only once every year or two and it would be way cheaper to buy a cheaper car and rent a more capable one for the road trips, people generally won’t do it.
Why isn't Google banning developers who do this from uploading extensions to the Chrome Web Store?
Were you not already checking the validity of search results? Because Google's top few results I don't think were ever immune to "hallucination" where the top results happen to be garbage. It's where "don't trust everything you read on the internet" came from.

So I think the only thing that really needs to happen is just blindly trust the AI like you were apparently doing with early Google. I suspect however that you were gut checking Google which you can still do with any AI search that cites its sources.

Manpower is a terrible metric to use.
When you sit in on staff meeting, and the president explicitly says, "we are not hiring or promoting any more white men, only women of color and those of other marginalized groups", you absolutely know it for a fact. This in fact occurred, and continues to occur, as I can personally attest, at a for-profit college in NYC. And in fact, although ~10 people have been hired over the last few years, none of them have been white men.

Obviously that isn't to say women of color have it easy (nobody has it easy these days), but it is beyond dispute that this sort of discrimination is rampant in certain industries (like higher education) and in certain cities.

And for people who say this is illegal (and perhaps it is), when a white man (not me), who was a victim of this policy (many accolades, highest performance reviews, seniority), was repeatedly passed over for promotion by women of color and other "marginalized" people, filed a complaint with the NYC EEOC office, he was met with derision.
> I've said over and over that there are only two really hard problems in robotics: Perception and funding. A perfectly perceived system and world can be trivially planned for and (at least proprio-)controlled.

Funding for sure. :)

But as for perception, the inverse is also true. If I have an perfect planning/prediction system, I can throw the grungiest, worst perception data into it and it will still plan successfully despite tons of uncertainty.

And therein lies the real challenge of robotics: It's fundamentally a systems engineering problem. You will never have perfect perception or a perfect planner. So, can you make a perception system that is good enough that, when coupled with your planning system which is good enough, you are able to solve enough problems with enough 9s to make it successful.

The most commercially successful robots I've seen have had some of the smartest systems engineering behind them, such that entire classes of failures were eliminated by being smarter about what you actually need to do to solve the problem and aggressively avoid solving subproblems that aren't absolutely necessary. Only then do you really have a hope of getting good enough at that focused domain to ship something before the money runs out. :)
You could say that, but not all lisps are the same. I've tried a few different lisps and schemes, both, but the only one I've found enjoyable is Clojure. This is mainly due to its functional-first approach, immutable data structures, and common abstrations for transformations (so that I don't need to care if I have a vector or a set or a map, I can just conj onto it).

You don't know how ridiculous that is. Stop watching propaganda and just visit NYC. I'm tempted to buy you a ticket. Or just ask someone who lives there.

For 3G, instead of selling the spectrum the PTS in Sweden did a "beauty contest" and gave it away to the companies that promised the biggest buildout in the smallest amount of time.

Sounded like a great idea, the money that would go to a spectrum license would instead go to building out the network instead, but it was kind of a flop. Telia was left without a license and had to share licenses with Tele2 who didn't want to invest as much, and Orange got a license and immediately said "nevermind this is too expensive" and canceled their plans. And then everyone took 3 years longer than they promised in their proposals so it didn't even speed up the buildout.

Joy, some selfish git endangering others by asserting his right to do whatever. I appreciate it's not going to be a particularly well received comment, but as a Canadian I've been reflecting on Gander and US/Canadian relations and empathy in the past while reading the news lately. And we aren't there anymore. They should just send these two planes and our firefighters back given all the rhetoric and threats of tariffs thrown at Canada lately.
While the KMP story specifically is still pretty rough, supporting native and JS (or WASM) is becoming table stakes for new languages. Go, Rust, Gleam, even C all support some version of this. Now that there’s a common system API available across all the platforms, all the UI/database/network/whatever application libraries and frameworks can be unified as well. Multiplatform of today is closer to targeting different architectures (like x86 vs x64, which has worked since the dawn of time) compared to, say, Xamarin of yesteryear which abstracted over various native UI libraries.

Greenland doesn't have "growing strategic significance", except insofar as Trump has imperialist designs on it and the geopolitical consequences that flow from that.
Ha, Ha! Didn't know of this.

Money quote;

We stopped when we got a clean compile on the following syntax:

I am NOT going to try it out.
I also found TLA+ difficult to learn and a chore due to the syntax. I truly wish designers of popular languages would incorporate model verification within the language/compiler tools - this would likely need a constrained subset of the language with restricted syntax and special extensions. Ideally, it should be possible to just annotate or "color" a function for formal verification. All parameter types and functions used by the "formal" function would also be colored.
Microsoft did it on the XBOX (360? Or the original, not sure) to help track leaks. If you uploaded a video or took a picture, the background of the system menu embedded enough data to find the individual user. IIRC it had to do with a pattern of rings or drops or something. I can't find the article about it any more.
Lived in cities all my life, 3 capitals, 2 non capitals, 3 countries. And gave you a personal example of my current local homeless guy, thanks for discounting my lived experience as one says.

For your argument to be valid, homeless people and drug addicts would need to be some special breed of human that is much more peaceful than everyone else. I don't demonize them but I also don't think they are angels. And they certainly are more desperate. Only a lack of understanding of human nature could tell you that people aren't afraid. Remember your argument isn't even that they are more dangerous. Your argument is that people don't ever even feel afraid of them, that is ridiculous.
That may be the political side of things but I disagree on a technical level. Many systems (sigint) are run remotely. It's not hard to send a technician up there either, just takes a little time. Heck send me. I'll go every now and then if it's not permanent but personnel only goes so far for protection.
When you start running logistics is when you need boots on the snow.
I think you are taking 'nothing' (if I used that word) too literally. Of course crimes happen. People win the lottery too. That doesn't make it a trend or a crisis. All those news stories add up to five individual crimes spread onto two continents.

> you can be molested or assaulted by drunk and beligerent homed people. And, more importantly, homeless people are much more at risk

I don't know enough to say "much" more, but I think those are good points. There's nothing special about being homeless, in terms of crime, except you are much more exposed to it.

> on both visits, lone women walking down the street in broad daylight were chased after and opportunisticly molested by drunk vagrants hanging around on Robson Street. Broad daylight.

How do I spend so much time in cities and never see anything like that? I'm sure some of these stories people tell are true, but wow.
> They'd sell well here.

I'd love to agree because I like kei cars and small cars in general, but I don't think they would. These cars on US roads would be dwarfed by SUVs and pickups, and Americans have voted with their wallets that they don't want small cars, which is why manufacturers have almost uniformly stopped making them (most don't even make regular mid-size sedans anymore).
I dont think the people of color that got their foot in the door in tech would agree with you.
I know this topic has been beaten to death, but the shallow symbolic form Diversity takes in practice (college recruiting photos) confirms it's merely political.

Here are a few forms of "real diversity" I have run into that you will never see initiatives for at big tech, and it would not necessarily be taboo to publicly discriminate against them:

- Number of siblings

- Asian ethnic minorities (Miao, etc)

- Discriminated indian castes

- Parents vs childless

- University degrees

- American 19th century religions (JW, Mormon, 7th day adventists, etc)

- Military experience

- experience in manual labor jobs

- Sunni and Shia Muslims

- Russian ethnic distinctions (russkiye vs rossiyane)

Obviously we can't create programs for every possible form of identity. But you can look at 2 asian men and say there isn't any diversity, when actually their life experiences couldn't be more different.

Similarly, you can have all the skin colors in a room, but if they are all upper middle class, secular humanists, from the same handful of Universities, they aren't bringing new perspectives.
Anyone who takes a position you don't like is, presumably, a troll.

This is real. Female engineers are overrepresented in big tech something like 3-4x the graduation rate. There just aren't any left over for startups that can't afford FAANG rates.

This story about getting it set right is a heartwarming story,

In reality, most of the time it's about society not caring. Some kid gets cancer and insurance pays only a fraction of treatment costs. Someone starts a GoFundMe and covers the rest.

I too have long assumed that EVs would appeal more to city dwellers but apparently it's the opposite.

City drivers can pull over anytime they like for gas topups and only when they've driven the car, so setting up charging infrastructure and having to plug in every day without failure just to remove gas stops makes little sense to them. OTOH, gas stations for rural house owners are travel destinations of its own, and they welcome offgrid home charging and everyday full tanks.

Short range grocery getter EV exists in the middle ground of those extremes, only in locations where it's rural enough that finding gas is annoying enough, while at the same time daily driving range is short enough that the car's range covers it.

Only reason urban citizens would prefer EVs is if they have specific opinions about personally owning ICE device, but those people aren't the biggest majority.
Here are the notes I wrote for myself as a magic player, to translate it into purely MTG terms. (These probably aren't enough to explain on their own, but they'll probably help MTG players who want to get the gist.)

Your opponent has 21 life and you win when your creatures have at least that much power. You can’t attack.

Setup: dealer goes second and starts with 6 cards, opponent starts with 5 cards. Hand limit of 7.

On your turn:
Either play 1 card or draw 1 card

Point cards (ace - 10; ace is 1) are creatures with power equal to their point number.
Face cards (and sideways 8) are enchantments.
No lands or mana costs.
"Playing" a card refers to casting that card or channeling that card.

Every point card has “channel - discard this card: Choose a creature with lesser value. Destroy it.” (suit matters, spades > hearts > diamonds > clubs, e.g., 8 of hearts is greater value than 8 of diamonds or any 7 but less than 8 of spades or any 9.) Note that this doesn't target.

Most point cards can be played as sorceries for an alternate effect:

Ace: wrath of God

2: disenchant OR muddle the mixture (this is the only instant and does not count toward your 1 card per turn limit. Everything else is sorcery speed)

3: regrowth

4: mind rot

5: divination

6: tranquility / back to nature

7: mind’s desire

8: sideways as enchantment - glasses of Urza

9: aura extraction*

10: none

Face cards are exclusively enchantments:

Jack: control magic**

Queen: Privileged position***

King: reduce your opponent’s life total based on the number of kings you control for as long as they remain on the battlefield: 0: 21; 1: 14; 2: 10; 3: 7; 4: 5.

Notes: The card types are pretty explicit - muddle the mixture can only counter sorceries or instants, not creatures, enchantments, or channeling. Wrath of god only kills creatures, tranquility only kills enchantments.

Rules can differ, depending on the source:

* sometimes as "reflector mage for enchantments", sometimes as "unsummon for enchantments".
**sometimes as "exchange control of target creature".
***sometimes as "all permanents you control have hexproof", I.e., including itself.
Couldn't you write this more simply as A ⊂ B ⇒ size(A) < size(B)?

I'm grateful I was able to pick up one of these, it's a speedy chip indeed. This round of AMD vs Intel kind of reminds me of the battles for top performance in the 90s, each side trading blows with another 100MHz and a bit more cache every few months. It was an exciting time and it's great to see AMD pulling ahead again.

I wonder if Intel actually has something new in the pipeline. I was holding out for their new chips before starting a new build and the new "Core Ultra" line didn't impress me, but it's also clearly a new chiplet design that will be around for a while and should have room for improvements now that the big shift to chiplet is underway.
X doesn't seem too motivated to make money; Musk's decisions seem to pursue is values (power) and sacrifice revenue. It seems like Facebooks recent decisions may do the same.

OOP generally "hides" data as internal state of class instances. Everything is private unless expressed as a method on an object.

The two sentences around the one you quoted should answer the question as well:

> With Clojure, we modeled the entire collaboration system as a stream of immutable data transformations. Each user action becomes a transaction in our system.

And

> When conflicts occur, our system can merge changes intelligently because we're working with pure data structures rather than complex objects.

Whereas OOP languages combine behavior and data into a single thing (classes with methods model behavior and hide state i.e. data) functional languages separate them: functions model behavior, and data is treated more like an input and output rather than "state".

In particular with clojure, data structures tend to be immutable and functions tend to not have side effects. This gives rise to the benefits the article talks about, though is not without its own drawbacks.

Nor did mine, interestingly. I'm not entirely sure why, the HTML for the first image seems to render fine on its own. It's a very long <picture> tag, seemingly optimised to return different sizes at different resolutions. It looks like something generated by a web framework. I still hand-write my <img> tags like it's 1999, so I'll leave it to the frontend wizards to explain what the problem here is.
