Probably, but it seems meaningless to discuss preference without discussing cost and scarcity.

I guess in my mental model, the deer continues to try and stand because it wants to things like food and water, and it sees other deer standing and walking around. Psychologists do talk about a state of "learned helplessness" if a

I guess I don’t understand what you mean “with no external inputs”. It’s in the physical world, with gravity. Isn’t that an external input? Driving the feedback loop of “I fall on my face if I do it wrong”?

Do you have any idea what level of effort would be involved to modify the quadcopter? Or, say, use a different one? Would it require a lot of experience developing physical models for simulation?

Does anyone know of an affordable COTS drone one could try this out with? I’m very interested in the intersection of machine learning and control theory.

Nonetheless, I think you can derive a “time value of money” from the data?

Setting aside whether wealth should be capped, wouldn’t doing it in this manner cause massive price mis-signalling?

Isn’t that confusing cause and effect? You’re getting interest because they’re paying it to you. They wanted to borrow, and even if there’s no risk, you won’t lend it out for free.

This is an interesting finding. I don’t know what conclusions the article draws, since the Telegraph doesn’t seem to have linked to it. The conclusions the Telegraph draws are pretty dumb. To talk about whether these gardens are good or bad

If you walk into your boss's office and say "match this or I'm gone", you might be earning yourself a reputation (maybe a deserved one?) as a hardball negotiator, and you're probably better off just taking the offer

The article needed a picture, so I guess they decided to use a picture of a completely different device.

Is [0] not a patch adding support to OpenWRT? It looks like the developer has committed previously to the Linux kernel as well, so they seem to be upstreaming at least some of their patches? [0] https://git.openwrt.org/?p=

It looks like the patch was committed in late September [0] and the press release for the device is dated mid November [1]. So unless I'm reading things wrong they added support upstream before they released the product? 0: https:&#x2

Moved to Singapore from where? The USA? There was a point where I was investigating opportunities out in Southeast Asia, but I never had a ton of success even finding listings.

> G.iNet is wholly based upon OpenWRT. They get the benefit of the free software and can undersell because they don't need to support it. I know I'm oversimplifying, but it's at least partially true. Are they complying wit

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your proposal, but it seems to undermine process isolation. If you trust processes to yield under a co-operative multitasking system, why not trust them to leave each other's memory alone?

Yeah, if we did that we'd have broken sensor systems and doors falling off the plane!

Is “both” an option? The guy who invented git uses it to serialize code as diffs over email, so I think that speaks for itself. At the same time, merge commits basically insist on being understood as snapshots. My understanding is that for

Where are you getting the cycle count? I have an M1 Air, I got it new and use it heavily. I see "battery health" is "normal" and "max capacity" is 90%, but I don't see a count of charge cycles.

I think the author makes some strong points. It's definitely easy to write bad tests. I think the best defense of unit testing I could make in response to the article, is admitting that TDD makes it painful to write tightly coupled cod

It's interesting to think about this in the context of model based development / UML. Both are situations where people are trying to make the primary source something other than written text. I guess I'm biased, but I think w

Mozilla is still finding ways to antagonize its users with Pocket? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I stopped using Firefox when they started pushing Pocket so hard. Maybe I’m remembering too strongly, but my recollection is that when I co

I’m not an expert in AI training, but I don’t think it’s as simple as storing writing. It does seem to be possible to get the system to regurgitate training material verbatim in some cases, but my understanding is that the text is generated

I know utilitarianism is a popular moral theory in hacker circles, but is it really appropriate to dispense with any other notion of justice? I don’t mean to go off on too deep of a tangent, but if one person’s (or even many people’s) idea

It’s concave rather than convex? It’s bending into itself instead of away from itself?
