> Animals do cooperate, a lot and frequently. Including predators like lions. There are solitary animals, but cooperation is not rare.

That is just pack behavior. Animals are nearly always at war among their own for territory, and will often attack other kinds animals that compete for their food sources, unless there is mutual benefit (e.g. deers and monkeys sharing alarm calls for tigers).

> Animals do help others and try to protect them from harm.

Not their competitors, friend.

I've seen all of Sir David Attenboroughs' nature serieses multiple times, save the Antarctica one, including the "Trials of Life" where the decades-ago TV commercial here in America had the line, "the relentless pursuit to continue the bloodline".

I know what happens when a bear comes upon a wolfpack's kill. Ain't no sharing there, friend.

Lions clawing the balls off a young wandering, trespassing male is the baseline root of animal nature. Any student of history knows this lionine behavior is closer to the driving impetus for human nature than pursuits of selflessly loving peace.

"They are like the animals, only worse." That is our negative potential, each and every one of us. Only we have a mind to learn how to contemplate our potential self-evolution and our current amount of progress. And we are free to instead use our minds to just pursue worldly pleasures at the expense of anyone else's happiness. All potentials are available to us, though we cannot escape the price of karma we must each pay, and do, for better or worse, always accurately reaping what we have sown. Not a jot unaccounted for.

God's teachings of love are here to help us self-evolve ourselves out of our selfishly animalistic negative potentials towards a peaceful, harmonious universally-compassionate integrated society of equals of different paths and cultures, sans abuse or oppression of any kind.

One great example is how Guru Nanak (Sikh founding Guru) set his table where everyone sat together, not stratified by caste. That is the Way of human love, born of God's love for us.

11% is cited as the percentage that have been diagnosed, so ostensibly the 'true' percentage is even higher. i feel that if such a huge proportion of people (let's say somewhere between 1 in 5 ~ 1 in 10) have an attribute, we shouldn't be treating it as some exceptional thing that requires special care but rather a normal part of what it means to be a human.

it's crazy that there's so much focus on adhd but comparitively little on dyslexia, which by most estimations has similar prevalence but arguably even more child impact. i'm sure there's many more of disadvantages all across the spectrum that we haven't even classified / become aware of.
Yes, although the rest of the world is catching up, and manufacturers in many countries now sell solar modules at prices much lower than the prices that launched the "dumping" allegations in 02012.

As for coal power specifically, being polluting doesn't make it cheap; it's economically uncompetitive with both solar and wind, and in China specifically, the coal has to be imported from abroad, making it not just more expensive but also a national security risk.

It's not really tailor made though -- this was a problem researchers faced in the DARPA Urban challenge in 2007, which was held in the desert, and during which dust storms frequently confounded sensor systems. LiDAR was the technology that enabled them to complete those task.

> A real test of lidar would have been perfectly transparent obstacles. It wouldn't have been realistic, but neither were the other tests.

LiDAR would fail that test, which is why you use thermal imaging to see transparent obstacles. Roboticists have known for a long time that orthogonal sensors are the key to building robust systems that perform in a wide variety of environments.

> - Cost - Even though the cost can come down quite a bit, the current multi-lidar systems they add both up front cost and maintenance cost.

I don't understand why you think the LiDAR system is more expensive. The only evidence you have for camera based systems potentially ever working is that if you squint really hard, eyeballs seem kind of like cameras, and people drive with eyeballs, therefore AI should be able to as well. But you're not factoring in the cost of the AI as part of that system. Your proof of concept requires a human-level intelligence being in control of the car. How is that cheaper than LiDAR? Both in R&D and in the amount of resources it would take to run said AI on the car?

> - Complexity - They don't do the same things that cameras do, and can in fact never replace cameras.

Again, how is it less complex? If you need an AGI in the mix for it to even get up to the level of systems with LiDAR, how can it be simple?

> A Mobileye like solution is likely the best answer here, with a discriminator network to (hopefully) accurately judge which sensor to believe for each detected point, but this is not trivial

Huh? This is not typically how robots are made, you don't choose which sensor to believe, you construct a belief and that's informed by various sensors, each of which produce data with some sort of error that accounted for. State estimation allows us to take very untrustworthy and error-filled sensor measurements and produce accurate beliefs. This is why orthogonal sensor modalities are so important to robust system design.

You talk about minimizing complexity, but who cares about complexity? What people care about is robustness. Robust/complex solutions are preferred to brittle/simple solutions when human lives are on the line.
No engineer that works for SpaceX, with SpaceX, or is closely connected to engineers who work for SpaceX would agree with your assessment that SpaceX's success is due to:

The republicans hold the presidency, have a majority in congress, and a majority (depending how you interpret the moderate members) of the supreme court. Even the more moderate republicans are afraid of the Trumpets so they mostly vote in-line (see for example Cassidy voting for RFK Jr).

There are some things the democrats can do but it's mostly "spanner-in-the-works" slow-downs of the process, or mid-level judges. At the same time, the democrats are in disarray with no clear leader or message.

Probably the best strategy for the democrats is to let Trump make more mistakes until even his base questions his presidency.
Maybe not that irrelevant, since another desktop and mobile operating system used around the world is also based on Mach.
I agree. The first section of the README leaves the impression that Landrun comes with a kernel module -- that would be a red flag for me. The fact that it uses an existing kernel module that is in the mainline is going to be critical to anyone using Landrun.

Part of the reason that Tesla has been so valuable, is that is was/is seen as an investment in Elon Musk as a person, not specifically just Tesla. SpaceX is a private company, so people can't invest in that. But Tesla's stock price has in the past seen spikes and dips associated with successes and failures by SpaceX.

Right now, Musk has a decent amount of power over the domestic functions of the US Government. Regardless of your opinions about that fact, it's an objective truth that that is an economically valuable position for a person to be in. And so, Tesla stock remains high, independent of the performance of Tesla the automaker, and frankly independent of many people's opinions of what Musk is doing.

Were Musk to get booted from the current administration, and Tesla sales to increase 30%, I think the net effect of that would be a drop in Tesla stock.

That's what I wonder/worry about with all the various cash/finance apps.

With Joe's Fast Money app, who knows what's backing it or whether there are any rules governing what they can do to you.
I agree that his companies have done more good than harm.

I am no longer sure that remains true, if we also consider the good/harm that Musk himself has done independent of his companies, as a political figure.
>. In his confirmation hearing, the Liberty Energy founder pledged broad support for renewable energy. But when speaking to conservatives, he declared, “We don’t have replacements” for coal, oil and gas.

This is not doublespeak. It's perfectly reasonable to both support renewable energy and understand the importance of fossil fuels.

Importantly, renewables only generate electricity.

But we use coal, oil, and gas for so much more than just electricity - road surfaces, tires, medical equipment, plastics, heavy shipping, air travel, high-heat industrial processes, construction projects, etc. Many of these applications have no viable substitutes - you do it with low-entropy carbon or you don't do it at all.

Could there be viable sustitutes ready in the next decade? Not a chance. We'd need a time machine in order to have sufficient time to develop and scale these. We don't even have theoretical ways to solve some of these, let alone solutions already proven and scaled.

Our DOE secretary is absolutely right. We don't have replacements for coal, oil, and gas.

you're still not listening. Once more, the forecast can't tell me with any certainty whether or not there is going to be a frost, specifically in my area, and apparently in Kansas City, as well.

What i am asking for is what is promised by weather forecasters and the models. If it can't say with any certainty if it's going to freeze, it's completely worthless for this common circumstance. Like most people, i don't care if the forecast is 75F and it's actually 70F or 80F (or 68F), but what i do care about is a forecast for lows of 50F and it ends up being 32.15F.

The Wrights looked into marine screws, and were astonished to discover they were all designed by trial and error.

The Wrights made a breakthrough in realizing that a propellor was a rotating wing, and developed the first theory of propellors enabling them to build one that was 90% efficient. This is as opposed to the flat bladed screws used by other experimenters which were 50% efficient.

This means a near doubling of power for the same weight of engine and drive train.

The Wrights could not find an existing engine with the desired power/weight, and the engine makers refused to design/build one. Hence they hired a machinist to help design/build a custom engine, with double the power/weight ration of existing engines. The Wrights developed the very first practical aviation gas engine.

This was an enormous factor in creating a successful airplane.

P.S. Fun fact: Santos Dumont was a rather tiny man. In the movie "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" they created several flying replicas of early machines, including Dumont's "Demoiselle". But the Demoiselle wouldn't fly, it just ran around the field nailed to the ground. Finally, the engineers realized that Dumont was a tiny man, and located a tiny pilot, and then the Demoiselle flew delightfully. So, Dumont had his own peculiar advantage in power/weight.

You know that in the US, conservatives are over-represented in the military. If the US does fight Russia, they will be the ones dying for you. Driven by a sense of American patriotism that Europe loves to belittle. It just doesn't make any sense.

>If I took personal opinions I'm reading online into consideration, I'd be very open to manipulation by the platforms themselves.

I don't believe it's manipulation. Europeans have been anti-American for as long as I can remember. I don't think it is just an internet thing. But yes, it is ironic that lots of Europeans (in this thread even) post, and vote on comments, in more or less the way they would post if they were being paid by Russia.

In any case, if we're going to disregard the internet, why not disregard my comments too? Maybe I'm an AI bot. Or maybe you'd find me to be nice and wonderful if we were interacting in person :-)
Yes the rendering code is in Delphi too. It uses an OpenGL control i wrote some years ago[0] which include OpenGL bindings for Delphi 2 (i haven't tested later versions). The control is actually a conversion of one i made for Borland C++ Builder [1].

It is not QuArK, though AFAIK QuArK was made in Delphi too. There have been a few other Quake editors made in Delphi, like the qED Quake Editor which was one of the earlier Quake editors (the author wrote a book about quake mapping too[2]).

You made a strong claim which you have failed to support adequately and yet have continued to double down on.

I did my research and presented my own interpretation which fundamentally disagrees with your interpretation. You have refused to address it, instead continuing to assert your interpretation without further detail. That does not prove my interpretation is correct, but it does indicate that the citations and evidence you have provided do not clearly lead to your conclusion and you neither identify the errors of my interpretation or directly demonstrate the correctness of your interpretation which could be done by demonstrating a simple counter-example demonstrating what memory is corrupted.

You claim it is indisputable fact, yet you claim it would take "days or even weeks" to present a clear example of the corruption. I do not see how you can claim the bug is clearly and indisputably a memory corruption bug that anybody can see from the citations you provided when it would take even you so long to provide a clear example.
