Artemis and SLS have many problems but I would look elsewhere than that article if you want an understanding of what they are and why they exist.

I don't understand the disctinction you are trying to draw here. The statement itself is both accurate and true? At best the implication might be slightly hyperbolic but definitely not a "cartoonishly evil caricature."
> There's probably some far more innocuous explanation out there, like that the cyclist thought the way was clear (because there were no cars in sight).
Except your explanation is also not innocuous. Not wanting to be behind a bicycle is non an excuse for dangerous passing and especially when you are approaching a red light. The fact that you think this is an acceptable reasoning for that behavior is why you're being called out and downvoted. None of your excuses for how this might cause a light cycle to trigger sooner make this acceptable behavior.
> Early on, SLS designers made the catastrophic decision to reuse Shuttle hardware
The law that mandated that NASA built the SLS also required that they re-use that hardware. This wasn't a choice made by NASA designers but by a bipartisan congress and it wasn't designed so much to advance our space program so much as a way to keep funneling money to space contractors with the end of the Shuttle program.
Any article that proposed to discuss the "lunacy" of Artemis without ever mentioning Congress's role in that lunacy is pretty clearly rage bait.
Again, the whole thrust of this article is that people aren't incentivized yet to use or switch navigation apps.
> But it is not.
Yet. If that is something you want, go fund some opensource mapping apps to add the feature.
Without detailed technical information, this seems like a reasonable approach to solve a hard problem that isn't well solved now. Opt-in traffic data collection via an open standard api seems like be best case scenario here.
I'd be interested in specific criticism about how mapping apps are given access to the API, what exact data has to be shared to enable or other specific aspects of this program.
Your knee-jerk reactionary talking points aren't interesting though.
"Cartoonishly evil"?!?
I'm pretty sure it is accurate for some subset of the driving population, which was the claim.
> Unfortunately, judging by the downvotes it seems like people are interpreting my opposition to OP's claim that "Some people apparently just can't stand to have anyone driving before them" as me arguing that it's fine for drivers to mow down cyclists to save 5s.
You didn't actually provide any evidence or argument to dispute that claim and completely ignored the key "risky" part of comment.
The way it reads is that you had your feelings hurt by having your bad behavior called out and felt a need to rationalize that behavior.
While there are a few of commercial apps that can integrate now, The goal is to have every navigation/gps app have the ability to do this. This can also be done by privacy friendly apps.
> Why do these commercial entities get to influence public traffic lights?
The commercial entities don't influence anything, they provide a tool for their users to influence the lights.
> And due to the inherent red-queen arms race
What arms race is inherent here? Traffic isn't (or shouldn't be) a competition but a cooperation.
Your whole comment seems weird because the main point of the article us that most people seem unwilling to change navigation apps to take advantage of this feature so widespread adoption will wait till the apps people are already using (and which already get all that data) support the standard.
You sound like one of thos drivers who believe it's OK to put other people at risk to save themselves a couple of seconds.
I see this all the time in my large truck that I'm very good at coasting into red lights. Even when there are already vehicles stopped at the light, people will not only stay on the gas way later than necessary and then brake unnecessarily hard but will also pass me to be sitting one car length further ahead at that light. Often it is done dangerously, without turn signals or proper blind spot checks. I know this because I've also almost been hit repeatedly on my motorcycle by cars doing this.
> To find psychiatric patients who might benefit from immunotherapy, researchers have set up centers, roughly similar to the one at Columbia, at Baylor University Medical Center, in Texas; King’s College London; Uppsala University, in Sweden; and the University of Freiburg, in Germany, among other places. Some of the best research into the phenomenon has been conducted in Germany, where it’s more common for patients in a first episode of psychosis to have lumbar punctures to access their spinal fluid, which can reveal the presence of antibodies.
If you're gonna make up a headline, don't make up one that is factually false.
Saying that someone grew up in a culture that values a certain type of academic education and achievement is different than saying they have those characteristics because of their racial genetic heritage.
It's also one thing to be aware of cultural trends and differences when designing multicultural systems to function well. It's another to project cultural trends onto individual people since the variation between people in a culture easily dominates the variation in the averages between cultures.
Of course, nuance like this rarely makes it into common discourse, which often does end up just being racist.
There is pretty clear evidence that some subset of schizophrenic diagnosis are due to autoimmune issues. If we can use antibodies in the spinal fluid to detect when autoimmune treatments can be effective in treating schizophrenia, that alone will be huge.
However, the even bigger insight to be drawn from all of this is the potential for other psychological problems that psychiatry has struggled to treat, to also have autoimmune causes. When you try to treat something that has multiple, quite different causes, with a single treatment, it makes sense that it would be hard to find that treatment that works reliably (as is the case for many psychiatric medicines.)
I predict we may eventually see immune antibody tests (or some functional successor) become a standard part of all mental health care.
Not all, just some of them. It's pretty obvious which ones when you actually look at how they design and market their products.
It would be reasonable, but that also assumes the ass-covering started post rollout rather than pre rollout.
It is problematic, but not in the way that you think. While memories can be suggestively altered or created by questioning, the evidence for doing so for traumatic childhood sexual abuse is anecdotal and those anecdotes were pretty heavily cherry picked by the clearly biased FMSF, which was run as a support and advocacy group for parents accused of abuse.
That said, my understanding is that in general, dwelling on traumatizing experiences isn't beneficial to recovery. There are times they may need to be confronted and processed, but generally if it isn't causing a problem, don't go digging it up and spending a lot of time thinking about it unnecessarily.
The rainfall patterns are very different in those two areas. I don't doubt that beavers have important erosion and sediment retention impacts that over time do have a massive impact on the ecosystem and landscape. However, sediment rention is far from only reason why the american SW looks so different from other parts of the country.
> In the early 2000s, computer scientists showed how to do just that, contriving interactive proof protocols that were specifically designed to fail when they underwent Fiat-Shamir
Indeed, the artcile points out that targeting GKR was the idea of the Ethereum Foundation researcher.
> Soukhanov had the idea to target a Fiat-Shamir proof system based on something called the GKR protocol
Down 10% vs 80% is the kind of egregious factual "error" that gets made so frequently around Musk, that it is hard to take any criticism at face value. You don't like the guy and want to call him out? Get your facts straight or you're being counter productive.
> His result has also revived a debate in the field about the nature of the optimal packing in arbitrarily high dimensions. For a while, mathematicians considered highly symmetric, lattice-based packings to be the best way to arrange spheres as densely as possible. But in 2023, a team found a packing that didn’t rely neatly on a repeating lattice; before Klartag’s result, it was the record to beat. Some mathematicians saw it as evidence that more disorder was needed in the search for an optimal sphere packing.
Clearly, this improvement doesn't apply to the few dimensions for which we already proven optimal packing, but the proof was general.
How is that similar?
Tesla was 2 dudes and an office with no IP and no product when Musk became the lead investor and chairman of the board.
Whereas when Cofinity and X.com merged it was as two functioning companies operating in the same market.
What similarity do you see?
I thought that was one of the important results from the paper, the most efficient packing for all dimensions is symmetrical again and this increase was significant enough it seems unlikely that existing non-symmetrical methods will be able to beat it.
