I've never heard of a company paying non-salary employees during a plant shutdown. (In the US, things may be different in Europe for all I know)

Isn't the assumption always that accessing a web page programmatically is allowed unless specifically asked not to in robots.txt?

They aren't, we can easily extend the concept by using it as metaphor.

It's a metaphor, metaphors aren't literally physical work implements.

I suspect that metaphors are the tools of cargo cults while analogies are the tools used by those that actually understand a system in order to convey it to those that do not.

Are the metaphors actual tools, or more like metaphorical tools?

They're also the world leaders in automobile safety-defects.

If you have a probability vector, you would typically take the max, not model the action on the probability distribution.

e.g. If an image (from the forward camera) returns the probability vector: {"stop_sign": .9, "green_light": .1} You stop the car 10/10 times.

Just guidelines at this point.

Yeah, but he feels sort of bad about it... http://hieroglyph.asu.edu/book/hieroglyph

All the way to the bank.

Check your orbital velocity at the surface. It's not 0. The direction you head does matter.

I haven't read the paper, but I think:

undermine the ability of democracies to sustain truthful public debates.

Is coded language for exactly what you're talking about, in the same way that dictators is coded language for geopolitical enemies.

How is your concern different than what they are calling political security (~1/3 of the paper)?

Political security. The use of AI to automate tasks involved in surveillance (e.g. analysing mass-collected data), persuasion (e.g. creating targeted propaganda), and deception (e.g. manipulating videos) may expand threats associated with privacy invasion and social manipulation. We also expect novel attacks that take advantage of an improved capacity to analyse human behaviors, moods, and beliefs on the basis of available data. These concerns are most significant in the context of authoritarian states, but may also undermine the ability of democracies to sustain truthful public debates.

I think the major difference is this notation has the count of loose wires corresponding to dimension, and Penrose notation has the count of loose wires corresponding to tensor valence.

Here, a diagram with 1L and 2R wires corresponds to a 2d-vector, in Penrose's notation it would correspond to a (1,2) tensor that takes kd-vectors to kXk matrices.

But... they certainly have a similar feel. I wonder if you could build up the Penrose notation out of this.

There's not much point in trying to hide what your doing, if what your doing is holding a public vote.

For functions of a single parameter, /partial operator/ is equivalent to /full derivative operator/ (for sufficiently smooth functions).

Are you pulling my leg here, or do I need to scrap my understanding of calculus?

If they exist, how could they not be equivalent?

I concede the point, nuclear strikes on the US and Japan are reasonable responses.

Conditional on a non-military action which had already taken place.

If I write a theory and take over an existing word in everyday use, it seems a bit much to accuse every one else of colloquialism when they use an existing but less strict definition?

It does, but engineering is a technical profession and it's practitioners are likely familiar with the mathematical concept.

I've read about applications of chaos theory in system design, and I expected 'Principals of Chaos Engineering' to be about that topic.

I don't know the semi-conductor specifics... but it's a broad engineering concept.

Validation: Does the thing you designed actually do what it's supposed to do?

And the related concept,

Verification: Is the thing you build (and deliver) actually what you designed?

Friends don't let friends use ambiguous date formats. https://xkcd.com/1179/

That specificity implies one of these cancers apriori occurs in 5% of the tested population.

Is that about right taking into account pre-screening? We can identify a population that has a 5% chance of having one of these cancers?

Which leads to my favorite way to think about it. One foot per clock tick of a 1Ghz processor.

My lawyer can drive himself, but it only works with BMWs.

If they're planning on Mars orbit, and not a Mars flyby there's a propulsion system.

edit: Unless by Mars orbit, he means, a solar orbit similar to the orbit of Mars. Which actually probably is what he means. It's just the right blend of technically correct, but slightly misleading.

The Raptor engine(under development) is comparable to the BE-4.

* What happens when a wheel seal goes? Do I have to remove all that ridiculous plastic on #2,3 axels??

Seeing as you still need to do a pre-trip inspection, I assume they swing out of the way pretty easily.

In 40F water for 4-6 hours and you're looking at a severe case of death.

If you want to delve into PKD's... different thinking. A Scanner Darkly, and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich.

If you want another sci-fi detective noir, Altered Carbon fits the bill.
