War in Ukraine: tanks rolled and stopped 1h outside Kiev. I have served in Artillery (EU country). I have seen what the Russian MLRS have done to Grozni some years back. Russians could have flattened Kiev in a week. I assume the move was to push Zelensky to quit. When they saw that this is not happening (the gamble didn't pay out) they fell back to the oblasts/regions they wanted to 'obtain'. This way they avoided a bloodbath (DDG's AI tells me Kiev had approx 2.9m population in 2022). Also if they would have flattened the capital (and killed or maimed 2m civilians in the process) then any 'moral justifications' Russians had would be eliminated. Also most (everyday people) in Russia feel Ukrainians are like brothers to them and they wouldn't forgive/forget Vlad the bloodsucker.

War of 1812 vs today: There are very few countries that have been in wars non-stop for decades. Yes, it's the USA. Maybe they don't call it "war with X country" but once you got military and they walk on foreign soil, packing guns, killing locals, yeah.. that's war alright (plus missiles, plus artillery, plus drones, plus warplanes, plus battleships, plus aircraft carriers). So imho the only country who is R-E-A-D-Y for war within a minute is the USA. Canada has Trudeau, and policemen wearing red, and horses, and snow. Sorry.. no chance. (I am leaving nukes aside as they guarantee M.A.D.)

not 'similarly structured' but the immediate sibling craft - the same design from the same company.

One thing I discovered raising chicks is that as long as the chicks have a hot area and a cold area they can move about find a comfortable temperature. So you don't really have to worry about cooking the chicks by not having the heat lamp set up just right.

Cats love warmth so much though, I have seen (and smelled) cats singe their fur by laying too close to the fireplace. So maybe a cat is more at risk of cooking if the heater sticks on.

Anyways cool project. The concept of fault tolerant automated systems, or even ones that can self-heal is very appealing.
Things are so erratic it's not going to be very good for stable investment.
Before I got my first pair of progressives lenses I saw a lot of conflicting anecdotal accounts. After doing research, the conclusion I came to was simple: I got the very best progressive lens that Lens Crafters sells because the best lens has a much larger intermediate “corridor” size than less expensive progressive lenses. I have had zero issues with my progressive lenses. I forget I even
“have” progressive lenses at all!

By asking to talk to only those who have problems, you could be self selecting for a population who may not help you actually solve your problem, even if they mean well.

This is just my experience of course. When I did my initial research, I asked a question on Blind about progressive lenses. Lots of people said they have progressive lenses and they have zero problems.

If I was forced to guess, I would say that some (or maybe even all) of these folks who start talking about the computer glasses……it makes me wonder if they simply under-bought their lenses. Yes glasses are expensive. Getting a better lens will cost more. Yes yes, the Luxotica this and that. I don’t care about any of that crap. All I care about is getting the best lens possible and so should you!

Do what I mean!
Right, this is fair. I think the metaphor was terrible, and this is a really good explanation for why.

given the low gravity and $200M+ cost of mission, one would think that 3-4 thin spider-like-wide legs would be a must, especially after similar failure several months ago. Or just an inflatable "donut" around the lander (which would be deflated once the lander is standing upright).
It already did, 40 years ago.

Very much so, part of it is undoubtedly the result of changing social norms, politics, and a broadening middle class... part of it is an increased population and changing economics from globalization and other factors.

It's a chip. Is it a TPU, an NPU or a GPU? Was it an FPGA before it was something made to order? Is it a spectacularly novel chip or is it just another special purpose chip?

we could even supply that person with a return craft. I remember reading that it was done 50 years ago.

How about engaging with any of the arguments made in TFA?

Such as:

- Crypto is more volatile than stocks, already a volatile asset

- sovereign wealth funds are tool for industrial policy, which is a bad idea

- sovereign wealth funds tend to be associated with corruption

- money would be better spent paying down debt or (in absence of debt) reducing taxes or UBI

And so on.

Mine used to and I went back to the optometrist a few times about it last year but… turned out I was getting tension headaches and blurry vision working from home not because of screens or my glasses, but because the radon in my home was regularly about 6x the EPA limit. What’s solved my headaches has been moving away, not changing my prescription. OP, consider if something else in your environment is bugging you.

> It would absolutely be possible to implement that stuff in a fully privacy-preserving way, with nothing but basic cryptography, and the government could absolutely enforce that implementation.

There are ways to do this which are less bad, but there is no way to do it "in a fully privacy-preserving way" without also making it fully ineffective, because if there is no way to prove who someone is then there is no way to catch anyone providing false age verification as a service to minors. But if there a way to prove that, you've demonstrated the existence of a privacy failure because you could then use the same mechanism to determine what someone is looking at.

I was experiencing discomfort while staring at the computer in my glasses. In the end the solution was quite simple: there was a bend in the frame of my glasses. The second optician straightened the frame manually, so the lenses now line up without much of a curve. After this, my symptoms went away.
That would be really nice, but, that’s been the way of it for the last few features too… it might not get adopted, but if enough people start using it…
I will say as a very average product during elitist times I do not personally have a problem with more average uplift than just a spike of brilliance. I suspect I am swimming against the "10x" zeitgeist here but I'm unconvinced geniuses at scale do a much as people want to think.

Not particularly. Doing stuff with primes is just a common theme for sample functions.
Magnitude of gravity changes nothing as long as it’s not 0. Your CG is either inside the area covered by the hull of your leg contact points or it’s not. It won’t be stable in other regimes just because gravity is lower.
I have had very high myopia (-9D) for most of my life. Used contacts for nearly a decade starting 30 years ago. Went back to glasses after that. Would have eye strain issues due to 12+ hours on the computer every day.

When I turned 40 and started have issues with presbyopia, I asked my opthalmologist (who also writes my eyeglass prescription) during my biennial checkup why he has been prescribing powers based on how well I can read the tiniest letters on the board when I spend most of my life reading stuff that is two feet away.

He reluctantly suggested that I could use glasses with 1D shaved off the powers in the prescription. I had already done this before I asked him about it. And it has been a big help as the strain disappeared.

Things get blurry at a distance with the new glasses, but it is not as if I am driving at night on the roads or anything.

I nearly stepped in human feces in the street in Cologne. Happened to walk down the wrong alley which the homeless were using as a toilet.

They generally are quite harmless though and not generally any threat to wandering children.

The movie is a commentary on the seductiveness of Fascism.

Re SEO, I note "utterance" only occurs once, in a perhaps-ephemeral "Things to do" description.

I don’t think that’s how a state e-ID works.
LLM's don't have to get better — with apps and such, it looks like we still have a good 4 or 5 years of horizontal growth. They're already good enough for a whole suite of apps that still aren't written yet — some I suspect we haven't considered.

Of course big players like OpenAI need constant growth because it's their business model. Perhaps it's the story we see play out time and time again: the pioneer slips up and watch as others steal their thunder.

Probably around 12 meters (40 feet or so?). That would be like falling 2 m (6 feet) on earth, which isn’t very safe but pretty doable. Maybe 8 meters to make it more safe?

That’s based on impact speed.
Without in any way trying to draw the collective wrath, I think it's worth saying that being "10x" isn't really brilliance, it's just high productivity. This is doubly true when the work being done is not exactly groundbreaking.

Still putting aside the world of tech, we definitely benefit from the existence of geniuses in a way that enhances the lives and careers of vast numbers of people. Ideally we'd make room in education for everyone from special needs up to especially gifted, but as you say... money.
If you ran the benchmark on battery, I'd definitely run it plugged in. It's not a power drain thing, if it's not plugged in (with the dedicated plug) the GPU can't run full throttle (it can't pull enough current from the battery I think). I had the thing for like a year before I found that out.
We are definitely closer to the biplanes era of landing on the moon than we are to the Concorde era, as far as technological readiness goes. The pace of moon landers created has been much slower than the pace of airplanes built was in the early days.

I used to have that problem too, I was -5.25 or so. The problem was I kept getting upsold on high index lenses. Yes, they are thinner, but the distortion at such a high correction was horrible. Small frames help, but then you have no peripheral vision. I switched to CR-39 and it was so much better. It's also the cheapest possible option which is nice. If you ask for the edges to be polished clear the thickness is less noticeable to others.

I eventually got sick of the coke bottles and got Lasik. I can see better than I ever thought possible, but the recovery was brutal. It was more than two years before I could go a day without Systane Ultra.

CBT therapy, especially the "B" part, was essentially created to help overcome phobias of things like words. There are some great books on CBT, and also research showing that working alone using a book can often be as effective as working with a therapist.

Surely that assumes that you can only learn from seeing your actions play out over time. Within the first 3 years of my career, I saw good business decisions, bad business decisions, the fallout of bad business decisions that predated my involvement, good tech stacks, bad tech stacks, and tech stacks that had survived 99% staffing cuts. Now, I still wouldn't have called myself senior at that point, but I absolutely had the experience of seeing what the long-term impact of certain choices was, even if they weren't my decisions or even if I hadn't been there and had to work from second-hand accounts (and sometimes, code/docs).

Each eligible voter is a random variable, independence aside. Silver's model does not operate on the level of the voter however. A random variable is a very flexible abstraction, almost anything can be a random variable if you can find a way to measure it. Polls are a measurement. They're imperfect, but all measurements contain error.

It's not statistics because any authority says it is, it's statistics because it starts with a measure of probability (aggregated polls) and builds an interpretation on top of it. That's what statistics is. It can be good statistics or bad statistics, but that's a separate question. Incidentally, it has a pretty good track record.

If you have a criticism of Silver's model I'm curious to hear it. However, as it is I don't see a criticism in your comment. You say it's ridiculous, but it isn't. It's complicated, not ridiculous. I can't say precisely what's on your mind, but if I had to guess, it doesn't make sense to you, which is a different matter.
