Do you think a Philosopher's Stone might have some value, too? I think Y Combinator should look into it. Maybe an Elixir of Immortality?

An automatically parallelizing compiler that works in general is one of the holy grails of computer science. They have been extensively researched for decades and we have little to show for it. If anyone managed to make one it would instantly render the entire computer industry obsolete.

We have systems that work in specialized cases with a whole lot of manual intervention. Even then, the executable is often less efficient than the serial version.

"OK, securities exchange, you can continue operating as long as you shut down the securities exchange."

I suppose they can keep the office cafeteria open.

And the SEC is also saying "you don't get to ignore the rules just because you don't like them". Whatever the rules should be, it's clear Coinbase is on the wrong side of what they are now.

There is nothing in the law that explicitly prevents the registration of a cryptocurrency. The problem is that the people making them are not able to answer the kinds of questions the SEC asks. How many cryptocurrency companies do you know of that could pass an audit? Even when ICOs aren't out-and-out scams I have never encountered one transparent enough for me to want to touch it with a ten foot pole. Why should the SEC bend over backwards to create new rules that allow exactly the sort of opaque, unaccountable offerings it is their job to prevent?

Everything about this screams "system working as designed to protect the public".

Would you kindly point out a company that tried and failed to register an ICO? I have done a little research and been unable to find any that even went through the motions. Perhaps the specifics matter.

>[2] lists the following threats:

Oops, you forgot one:

- Predation by nonnative and/or nuisance species

>And yes, after all of the above, cats may also present a threat.

You seem to think it's very important this bullet point is last, but there is nothing in the source that suggests items are listed in order of importance. Even if there were the order is not consistent in all parts of the report.

Why are you reading tea leaves when the authors say, explicitly and repeatedly, that cats are a serious threat?

>how? You know this?

California seems to think so.

>Beta testing with relatively untrained people on public roads seems necessary for either strategy though.

Then why is Tesla the only company doing it?

Mercedes has an L3 system shipping today and they didn't see any need to endanger my life to build it.

Tesla's system can be used to achieve nothing in actual operation. It makes constant mistakes and requires an ever-vigilant human to take over in a fraction of a second when it does. There is no advantage over manual driving, let alone manual driving with modern driver assistance.

We know Tesla cannot match Mercedes. We don't know whether or not Mercedes can match Tesla. Mercedes isn't reckless enough to let untrained fanboys play with defective software in two-ton vehicles on public roads.

So, in the absolute best-case scenario cherry-picked from thousands of videos, Tesla's system is capable of going twenty-five miles without making dangerous mistakes.

I agree the comparison is laughable.

As I said, this doesn't make sense even within the modern American right. Bud Light has been loudly supporting trans rights for years now with no backlash I can remember. Why did associating with a transgender person for a single video result in more outrage than years of deliberate political activism?

It's a random social media outburst. People latched on to one trivial event because that's what happens on the Internet. There is no rational explanation.

"Supervised" does not mean the models need babysitting; it refers to the fundamental way the systems learn. Our most successful machine learning models all require some answers to be provided to them in order to infer the rules. Without being given explicit feedback they can't learn anything at all.

Humans also do best with supervised learning. This is why we have schools. But humans are capable of unsupervised learning and use it all the time. A human can learn patterns even in completely unstructured information. A human is also able to create their own feedback by testing their beliefs against the world.

The customer base was alienated because Bud Light made one (1) custom can of beer. Not one kind of custom can, literally only one can.

Strangely, Bud Light has made special cans for pride month for years now and no one much cared. Strangely, people are boycotting Bud Light specifically and Anheuser-Busch is largely ignored. Strangely, major beer companies have had much more prominent partnerships with trans people with no similarly hysterical reaction.

This is not a story that makes sense. Even from the perspective of the modern American right it doesn't make sense. It's just a herd of people freaking out for no reason.

>The third Skywalker trilogy started off with a bang in late 2015 with The Force Awakens, only to end with a whimper four years later as fans deserted the franchise.

The Rise of Skywalker grossed over a billion dollars at the box office. The current crop of TV shows are some of the most popular things on TV. That isn't what I'd call "desertion". Disney can milk Star Wars for years to come.

It wouldn't surprise me if they've already made back their investment. The five Disney Star Wars movies have made over $4 billion gross. That's not accounting for the parks or merchandising.

I don't see any doom and gloom here for Disney. Things are bad for the moviegoing public, sure, but Disney is doing fine.
