Their self driving will work right around the same timeframe spaceX actually succeeds a launch with a final budget lower then the most expensive NASA launches were.

It's honestly hilarious how he was lauded as tony stark in the flesh considering the only thing he excelled at was getting simps to gift him money


Simps and taxpayers


They're both kinda dumb though. Updating will create a new layer, but the old binaries will still be a part of the image as part of the history.

The only correct way is to either rebuild the base image from scratch or just fetch a new base image. My suggestion would be the latter, just run docker pull again for the baseimage and use that, without running update.


Fastmail also includes DNS, a few GB of storage and optionally static web hosting from said storage. They're also providing you with a caldav server for synced calendar, notes and contacts


Tasks can also be synced over Fastmail servers, though they do not provide a UI for it.


Pretty much all videos I've seen of the current riots (mostly filmed via phones from bystanders) in France show a very different picture then racism.

Even that unfortunate incident when they killed the teen was very much reactionary, as people have been throwing Molotov cocktails etc at them for weeks now.

Honestly, i do understand the perspective of the rioters. Not having a chance to improve your life would make me violent too, i think... But framing the police as racists acting out is misguided considering that most of the issues are social in nature and not caused by the police.

And this might be too nitpicky for such an emotional topic, but the term racism gets thrown around way too much. I think it's more akin to classism, as it seems like you're still gonna get discriminated against if you originate from the poor areas, no matter what the color of your skin is.


As a person who has been to many protests I must point out that it's not that the police act exclusively because of racism but rather that thier decisions and choice of tactics are heavily influenced thereby.

Because of thier racism and prejudices they are too quick to use force, tear gas and other "compliance methods" against those they deem undesirable, while they consistently avoid use of such methods at all when they self identify with the protesting group.

That's what's being referred to

It's not overt kkk or Nazi shit, it's the subtle underlying racism that makes them shoot tear gas on the first day into a group of entirely peaceful people, which then result in the escalation to this extreme violence we now see.

It's a well established fact that the police are the source of escalation in many cases, choosing to attack the whole instead of seeking to address the problematic few.

The cops even send in fake protesters to engage in violence so they can then attack the protest. It was caught in Quebec on video, so I highly doubt it doesn't also happen in France where tensions and racism are far more significant. (See agent provocateur)


From previous discussions it's my understanding the c integration is going to be the cause for the issues.

From a python perspective it wouldn't necessarily be a big change, but everything can branch out to c, and there you're going to get in trouble with shared memory.


The most significant impact of this change is that python threads can run at the same time. Before, calls to C API were essentially cooperative multithreading yield points - even if you have 100 python threads, they can't run concurrently under the GIL. 99 are blocked waiting on the GIL.

C extensions have always been able to use real threading. But now there is no GIL to synchronize with the python interpreter on ingress/egress from the extension.


Your phrasing makes it sound like that's a negative.

I'm honestly surprised they're required to abstain from doing so at the author's request.

You can only read the context of the match after finding the search result after all, not the whole book.

It's an example of significant overreach of intellectual property from how I see it. The robot.txt rational doesn't apply there either, as their scanning does not impact anyone's resources. And it's been published, which makes it public by definition.


Oh, I agree with you. I think the whole idea of legislating against machines accessing public content is a very slippery slope.


At that point you'd need a machine learning DSL and runtime. Currently, it's all python libraries, so you can do everything python can... Which is everything, essentially.

It's highly unlikely that the market for running these models like an appliance securely in an untrusted context will ever manifest. It's just too much of a niche, as it would also reduce their extensibility/usability significantly


Something like this may grow out of the GGML project, which is gaining traction. They already have a weights format which can be loaded with mmap, though AFAIK the model architecture still needs to be defined in C++.


As a general rule of thumb: The general public is not interested in high quality content.

They're much more interested in instant gratification and mindless entertainment, which was sufficiently catered to on the original platforms, so the critical mass of people never switched over.

Another factor surely was that - at the time - reddit was another platform for high quality discussions on specific topics and made it much easier to find like minded people through the subreddit segmentation.

While the circle functionality worked decently in g+, you still had to actually create and join them, which meant it was too exclusionary and involved to really get going.


totally agree with this, quality content is and always will be a niche. a platform that only focuses on that will never be "corporate" good enough and make enough money to justify its existence in companies like google. what twitter and reddit got right (imo) is that they made it easy to filter content based on personal interests.


As another person that's worked in payment (specifically aquiring) for 6 years: PCI compliance is not a trivial matter as you seem to believe.

It involves recurring audits of all systems in contact with cc information.

While I've never used stripe, i doubt they'd let you use that API without the certificate, as they wouldn't be able to do the aquiring for illegitimate transactions such as that. They could lose their status as an aquirer if they did that knowingly, and that would make it impossible to process any visa/Mastercard transactions.

You're more likely to encounter a simple scam/phishing site then a legitimate shop that let's cc information onto their servers. And that's honestly the only danger apple pay protects you from.


I’m not sure what you’re replying to?

He says:

> You shouldn't share a secret that someone else could use to generate payments. You should share some type of payload that is only valid for the payment you're making.

He’s advocating for a more secure one-time way of making a payment.

It would be more secure since it’s one-time and could not be reused even if the merchant didn’t use a pci compliant design


What PCI says is irrelevant. The argument being made is that when you enter your CC number into a website you have no idea if the receiving party is PCI compliant or not. There are ways to design a payment systems that reduces this counter party risk.


I don't think anyone would argue otherwise, the controversy is that IQ test results can be increased significantly by training.

But that discussion ultimately boils down to what intelligence really is... You either subscribe to the believe that it's essentially something you're born with or something that can be improved by training.

IQ tests fundamentally cannot measure for the former definition, but I does a decent job for the latter.


The user I replied to is clearly arguing that SATs do not provide any correlation with IQ. They called the proposition “bullshit.”

As for your question, g is very difficult to improve through training. Almost impossible in adulthood. The only studies I am aware of which indicate an ability to improve IQ score over time are those which allow participants to repeatedly take similar IQ tests. This enables the respondents to practise the type of question and answer faster and more accurately. Obviously this would produce an inaccurate result, over-estimating the intelligence of the individual.

To draw parallels with the SAT, I see evidence that repeated attempts reveal gaps in one’s knowledge and skill, and these are prerequisites for the test. This permits the individual to study those areas and practise the kinds of skills required to improve their score. Given this, we should acknowledge that the SAT is not a perfect analogue for IQ tests, but in aggregate, they do yield striking correlation. To tie this to my premise above, it is highly likely that the average Harvard student has an above-average IQ.


They are BS under the first definition.

And I think we've gotten quiet far from the context their statement was made in.

The premise was that intelligence increases self control/delayed gratification. From this, we've extrapolated that havard students will have on average a higher self control, because they've had the the privilege of a much better education, which caused their IQ scores to be quiet high.

Personally, I'd agree that this extrapolation is flawed, because both factors are only correlated with no causal link.


> They are BS under the first definition.

I provided a study which shows high correlation. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

I don’t agree with your summary of the premise. It doesn’t follow that more training means higher IQ scores, but I acknowledge it could mean higher SAT scores for individuals. Just not in aggregate.


Correlation is not causation and is meaningless for extrapolations. The only thing it provides is interesting data to discover the causality through further study.

But I guess you're too far gone into narcissism to understand how dumb this has gotten.


I made no claims about causation. The claim is correlation. Perhaps you should re-read the comments :)


you're extrapolation, thus you're using it as a causation.

Let me give you an example:

Swiss cheese has holes, by studying its properties you can find a correlation between the size of the cheese and the total volume of holes.

You do another study and find that as you increase the size of the holes the cheese, you're left with less grams of cheese.

by your logic, which extrapolates between these two unrelated studies finding different correlations, you can confidently state this:

  more cheese correlates with more holes
  more holes correlates with less cheese

  more cheese == less cheese
outstanding logic, indeed.


The claim being made is correlation.
