I have a few years older model Mazda 3 that has a similar system, although much less stylish. I like it for two reasons. I don't glance down when adjusting the radio or checking GPS and my eyes stay more or less on the road. The knob in the center console is a very intuitive control system that doesn't require very much attention or reaching to operate. The whole system is clearly designed to offer the full functionality of Android Auto or Apple Car while minimizing the possibilities distraction.
> If I had that level of vividness of dreams and I could make them lucid
Lucid dreaming is actually a skill anyone can learn.
Edit: Now that I think about it, the population is probably less than anyone. Anyone that can get a goods night rest can learn how to lucid dream, and anyone that routinely enters REM sleep has a decent shot at it.
Is this a joke about fiat currencies and their tendency to suddenly become valueless and cryptocurrencies tendency to suddenly become valueless by making a cross language pun connecting the owner of a new cryptocurrency and the name of a currency most famously known for a hyperinflation.
I've had over 100 lucid dreams, although none recently. My crowning achievement was summoning Socrates that would teach me things using the socratic method (only asking questions). The thing that blows my mind today is I was able to take away real value from these conversations even though I supplied both the questions and the answers.
Why didn't I use it as a personal holodeck to escape reality? Reality is a bigger, more interesting, and more exciting place than inside my own head.
I don't think this is a textbox example of Goodhart's law.
A healthy amount of sleep is a great target and measure, just like staying within a healthy weight range and lots of other biometrics.
I think Goodhart's law applies to people gaming the system or juking the stats to inflate a measured number causing the number to lose meaning. It doesn't matter what you do, getting enough sleep is important.
I live in Seattle, and have for years. I’ve lived in several different cities in the Northeast, Midwest, and South.
King County has one of the highest minimum wages in the United States. There are several organizations giving out clean needles in King County. We are building new housing at a very rapid rate and many areas of the county were upzoned just this year so we can build even more housing.
To me your comment is asking for us to do more of what we are already doing, even though what we are doing is barely slowing the growth of homelessness. There is no amount of taxation on businesses the city, county and state can impose that will provide a home for everyone that needs it. This approach will not produce positive change.
Let's assume in 10 years a descending order of the best laptop cpus are 1. Future ARM 2. Future AMD 3. Future Intel.
When I say leapfrog I am implying that I believe this list to be correctly ordered and that Apple will not use AMD chips but wait until they can use ARM.
Some popular services like Snapchat and Tinder do not offer web versions of their service and are app only. The app ecosystem is important to get everyone on board because some companies prefer to keep their product off the web.
It might be. On monitors the difference between a 120hz refresh rate and 144hz refresh rate is about 14ms between frames. Some people (claim) to tell the difference.
The point is that the idea of public millimeter wave surveillance has some amount of public support.
Even if they deploy an ineffective version in 12 months, in 240 months they might have effective hardware. This is the direction some people want things to go.
False positive = (Machine says positive but grand truth is negative) / (Machine says is positive)
In English, a false positive is when the machine declares something as positive but it is actually negative.
This fits a sanity test because ~50% of people that pass through a detector do not get patted down. The truth is closer to 10%. Even then, a true positive probably includes someone with two pennies in their pocket.
I was in the beta test for cangoroo. I booked 30 minutes, planning on going 2km in the time. When I was near my destination my cangoroo tokens depleted and the locking mechanism engaged. This caused me to abruptly stop bouncing and fall down, breaking an arm and causing large concrete scrapes. A bystander called an ambulance. My health insurance company is currently engaged in a legal battle with cangoroo and it looks like that is going to cause a downround as investors are cooling. /s
This isn't a slightly difficult problem, this is a fundamentally impossible problem. A qualitative thing cannot be quantified.
If we could quantify adversity we could calculate the percentage out of all human suffering that occurred during the Trail of Tears or determine the single most resilient living person.
I'm not saying we should consider adversity in college admissions. I'm saying we shouldn't quantify human emotions and experiences.
It's hard to say because the mechanisms for the mass loss are not fully known. In fact, we are just guessing that mass loss actually occurred, and how much did occur. How would we have measured the mass change of the reference kilogram? By definition the reference kilogram was the most stable quantity of mass we could have generated at the time, and the most well protected quantity of mass for the duration of it's service as the reference kilogram.
I think mass loss is probably proportional with either the surface area or the surface area of the handled portion. This is just a hypothesis based on what I suspect the mechanism for mass loss is (friction from air resistance and being touched). Now that we have a more accurate way of measuring mass we could repeat the experiment of trying to preserve a quantity of mass, even doing different variations based on quantity, material, conditions, etc. Such an experiment would be relatively expensive and take a long time for good results, but maybe someone curious with funding will do it.
EDIT: The idea that we could have preserved a gram of material, while measuring it's mass every 40 years, for the last 130 years while it only lost 5 picograms (1/1000th of the estimated mass of the reference kilogram lost) is so crazy I can't believe it.
