If we are using car brands as analogies, sure, in some way a BMW is a status symbol on public road, but on race tracks, pretty much every non-SUV BMW model would excel. Look at how many non-purpose-built BMW production cars that entered the 2019 VLN race series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_VLN_Series
After a car leaves the showroom, it's ultimately up to the owner to decide what to do with the car. A Corolla is great at getting groceries, but a BMW can not only take you to supermarkets but also win races on Sundays.
Oh BTW, BMW has just won the 24 Hours of the Nürbergring this past Sunday.
But neither planes nor cars with autopilot + autoland/park functionality are fully autonomous.
The only place where we have this today is on some on rails systems (trains like in Paris, buses on fixed rails like in Tokyo's Yurikamome or some amusement parks, etc.).
For 1, this runs a new docker container for each file. This is like 0.3 seconds on my PC for example - or 5 minutes for 1000 files. And only current directory is not enough, you may want to “convert input.foo /sev/webroot/output.jpg”.
So you need a better script. The one which will keep container running and use “docker exec”, and rewrite command lines for absolute paths. The one which will relaunch it as needed to map more dirs, and will shut it down eventually. Once you write it, you’ll likely end up with something way harder than just setting pyenv.
2. Yes, I know. See above. This command will be super annoying, as things like “aws s3 cp” would not work and it would not even see your authorization. So you need to make it longer and more complex. And then it will be harder than just a venv install.
3. Neat! It does look workable if your dependencies are very complex. In most cases, however, I’d say venv is still nicer, as you can use pydoc3, graphics, don’t have to worry about mapping input/output files, can use related command line tools and so on.
"Like many people, Armenians have a tendency to compare the worst aspects of life in Armenia with the best aspects of life in America, or elsewhere abroad."
This is usually the case in America vice versa, comparing the best aspects of life in America with the worst in other countries. In reality, an individual living an ordinary life might actually be happier than those in America.
This definitely depends on who you spend a lot of time around, and where you consume your news/media/entertainment from. I experience the opposite. Where I only hear mostly negative things about the US, and positive things about most other countries. Of course, some perception bias could come into play here too.
> Curious how you get this impression, do you have specific examples in mind? For example, bats, wolves and civet cats are consumed in Wuhan, which is not the case in Hong Kong.
Agree. Big meh in the sport. Eco considerations aside it's amusing that they're using this as a platform. Racing is largely not about the powertrain. And emissions are... whoops we made them up.
My fault for not pointing out the irony more explicitly. VW is reportedly paying $15bn+ for cheating on emissions. If they had said they are axing all of their diesel vehicles and replacing them with electric I would be jumping for joy. They basically chose to take the smallest pain point for the largest reward by touting these credentials. Having actually built F1 cars you should think of them as aeroplanes that never take off. All of the top racing is aero dependant more than anything nowadays.
I know my comment will be downvoted for sure because it isn't a popular idea, but I'm still gonna comment on this.
Reading news about any foreign country, including China, only from US MSM, is inherently biased (sampling bias). Maybe consider reading news from Chinese outlets in this case?
I know people will start arguing that Chinese outlets are mainly propagandas because they are controlled by governments and they are not independent...
But, but are we sure that Deutsche Welle or Japan Times are unbiased?
For example, Deutsche Welle is funded by German government. [1], and the editors of the Japan Times were appointed by their government [2].
Yes, German and Japanese governments are more trustworthy than the Chinese government, but every country has its own foreign policy and political agenda. Are we sure that we are not being "brainwashed" by those media outlets?
This is happening within the US as well. Think conservative news outlets vs liberal outlets.
Basically the entire world except for China including independent non profits is reporting on the internment camps. At this point you have to be actively trying to excuse them to believe they are fictional.
