It would actually reduce congestion. When I had a car here in SF, in many cases, I spent more time driving around looking for parking than actually driving to and from my destination. This would prevent that since the car could drop you off and head back home or to a nearby area with more readily available parking.

Take this idea to the next level, and you can have services like Uber that are run completely by algorithm. These cars can be parked all around the city and as soon as someone requests an Uber, the car wakes up and picks the customer up, after dropoff it finds the most efficient place to repark itself and wait for the next customer. This would significantly reduce congestion in big cities.

Outside of Reagent for clojurescript, I'm not that interested in using React. It does seem like a step back in readability and 9 times out of 10 you don't need to use virtual dom because you know exactly what is changing and where.

With clojurescript it was a no brainer since the effort to make it reactive was functionally 0 compared to default hiccup data structures.

They have sets of barcode scanners dotted around routing points. With enough of them and the big barcodes on the baggage tags, they can scan most automatically. Any that fail scanning are diverted to a side belt where a human scans them with a handheld unit.
Yup. No, really.

Deep Neural Networks involve Convolution and Matrix Multiplication operations which have a well defined hard upper bound in terms of speed wrt number of cores, GPUs (~thousands of processors) are in thus indispensable achieving a faster performance. There are newer interesting approaches such as reducing multiplication operations which might improve inference/forward speed even further. http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.03009
This isn't for training, is it? It's for using the results of training immediately (inferring something), without the need for a network round trip (as far as I understand it).

So, you might still send the request to the network to continue training the model, but by the time you do, your answer has already computed on the local machine for local consumption.

You know, some years ago, I was friends with a young transexual. The friendship ended bitterly and I want nothing to do with them ever again, but I did learn that this person experienced it as incredibly problematic that conversation routinely defaults to an assumption of "people are either male or female." I don't always get it right, but I do make an effort to use language that implicitly allows for other possibilities, such as a phrase like "whatever your gender" instead of a phrase like "regardless of whether you are male or female."

Similarly, you could have made the same sarcastic point in a way that did not essentially collude with the position you were criticizing by saying something like "Poor people should be invisible" instead of "should stay at home." If you wish to be a genuine advocate for homeless people, instead of getting on your high horse with me -- someone who has self identified as homeless -- in order to defend your ego, you could have apologized or commented that "I hadn't thought of it that way" or any number of other things that would be genuinely understanding, compassionate and respectful instead of worrying so much about your ego and self interest.

If there is some means where I can get a free copy of your movie downloaded to my android tablet, I would be happy to try to watch it some time.

This feature is quite possibly the least offensive thing about iPads in schools.
It is not ineffective. I don't have to smack my children now they are older, but when they were very young reasoning with them was not an option.

I'd much rather listen to the average fan's opinion than Stephen A Smith, so I wouldn't be surprised if normal people were able to make better predictions, too.

What I'd like to see is an ESPN where the predictions have some consequence to them - you're gonna call yourself an expert? Prove it.
This is also great news for attackers looking for old disused code with long neglected security vulnerabilities. It's also a potential nightmare for people trying to refactor the code. They never know when they might break one of these ancient and otherwise never-talked-about features that only a small handful of people even know about.
The closest thing I think of given your example is how the --help flag in git displays the manpage instead of an option summary. Is that the sort of thing you have in mind?

The author's conception of philosophy seems to be heavily biased towards Western analytic philosophy whose pretension towards logically underpinning sciences and reliance on formal methods means that is more of a theoretical computer science or physics. Plenty of Continental philosophy: post-structuralism, deconstruction, post-colonialism, and non-Western philosophy (such as decolonial thought) speaks to and about daily life.
Fairly sure that this is indeed doable for an app developer. I use 1Password on OSX and multiple iOS devices and many of my passwords can be unlocked with my fingerprint instead of requiring my main & lengthy master password.

IIRC it does require the master password once, perhaps each boot, but after that I'm able to unlock with only fingerprint (this is customizable globally or on a per-password basis pretty sure).
I won't be teaching my kids that men are inherently dangerous/child molesters. But you're welcome to bring them up that way.

Any adult is fine. The chance of them being dangerous is incredibly low, regardless of gender. Plus the whole "men are bad" thing just mixes a simple message up, what if they spot a member of staff somewhere but they're male. Do they approach or do they not? What if a man is the only adult around?

To be honest the whole "men are dangerous" thing is very much a large part of the core problem. It is stranger danger all over again.
No, writing the answer down takes much longer than just vocally expressing it.

1. Few people type as fast as they talk.

2. When talking, you already have all the context of the problem of discussion. This usually doesn't need to be explicitly communicated in detail, both people are currently close enough to the issue to have most of the background. In a wiki you need to establish enough context that the page is useful to someone who comes to it with no other help. There is no point in having a wiki if you still need to talk to one of the guys who wrote it to understand it.

3. With a wiki (or any other secondary doc system) you need to organize the information and make it findable. This is a non-trivial effort as the knowledge base grows.

Personally, I'm a big fan of documentation in the code paired with a wiki or other secondary system for longer or higher-level documentation. But it is definitely more work.
This article (from 2007) has a map that stuck with me. It shows the decreasing range of permissible movement over the past century in Sheffield, England.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-462091/How-children-...

It would be very interesting to have a similar map across different countries and compare.

The thing is, most parents I know would agree this is troubling, but few of them actually allow their children to roam with anything close to actual freedom until high school age.
What I want is my car to go park it self on the street. And then come back and pick me up. Parking is the main reason I hate driving in San Francisco.

Well, to be fair these devices have fairly different purposes. One might argue that CPUs are in fact sufficient for what they do in most cases and all other cases should likely be somehow be ported to accelerator devices such as GPUs.
Exactly. Given how expensive content is to license/produce, their goal is not to have tons of stuff you want to watch right now. They want to have just enough stuff that you don't leave (either because of the current catalog, or because a new season of HoC or something else you care about is around the corner).

They structure their site so that you don't realize that they don't want to make you super happy—they just want to keep you barely happy.

It would be fine if it was an independent library. I am not under the impression of incorporating a GC into WASM makes life easier. I am under the impression that having a GC available makes life easier. To think that you can magically recompile the existing GC's that V8 or WhateverMonkey are using to WASM is naive. Exposing the ability to request memory, add roots, and handle weak references, etc will make it more usable. Waiting until WASM has the ability to do threaded memory management at the same level as the existing GCs and have them rewritten (or refactored) for it may be too long. I would also support a polyfill approach where a GC shared-lib-sort of interface is exposed and tied to existing implementations at first to keep it out of WASM.

If you're looking for a cool novel with self-driving vehicles featured prominently in it, I highly recommend "Daemon" by Daniel Suarez. It's a techno-thriller written by an actual software security expert, where a computer virus takes over the world. Everyone I've recommended it to has enjoyed it. (EDITED for clarity.)

Paul Graham's essay "How to do philosophy" complements this piece well: http://paulgraham.com/philosophy.html.

This:

The second event was the placing of philosophy as one more discipline alongside these sciences within the modern research university. A result was that philosophy, previously the queen of the disciplines, was displaced, as the natural and social sciences divided the world between them.

may also be a problem because the healthier parts of philosophy, concerning "Why?" or "How?", got turned into science. The less healthy parts got turned into philosophy.

Well, as long as people do #2, no competitors can do #1.

The best option would be for Google to get no business anymore, and for people to rely on, preferably open, competitors.

Google’s business isn’t built upon providing data.

Almost everything Google does is forcing people to enter data for them, or scraping other people’s data, and then using that for profit.

From ReCaptcha to MapMaker, from the Knowledge Graph to their new imache captchas.

(IMHO, user-generated data like training data for neural networks, OCR data, or geodata, should be illegal to use for profit under proprietary licenses, with no opt-out. If you want to use data generated by users, you should have to provide it under a copyleft license. For free. Otherwise we have another Antitrust situation, like here.)
I'd be interested to hear. I doubt I'd have any points to bring to the discussion further, but I've not really heard someone speak for the work the NSA is doing.

As a side note: It's really cool that you can finally update to the beta directly from the device by just installing the configuration profile offered on the SDK download page. No more connecting to iTunes.

A long-term contract with a big company paid for my first major down payment on my current house, helped me even qualify for the loan in the first place, and helped me get a huge head start on saving for retirement. When you find an opportunity where you can get paid your hourly rate and the number of billable hours is unlimited, my advice is to jump at it. Corporations are much more financially stable than small clients and often far more willing to pay for quality rather than penny pinch. You also have an opportunity to work on larger scale problems and meet other developers whom may provide you with future opportunities both from within that company and at any future company or ventures they join. The only problem is that it can start to feel like you're wearing golden handcuffs, especially if the work isn't rewarding. Just make sure not to do what I did and forego taking vacations and working too many hours during the week, because that can lead to burnout.

And as far as hourly rate goes, there's only two universal truths – you are either undercharging, or you are overcharging. Most freelancers undercharge by a wide margin, especially younger freelancers and engineers (who in my experience tend to be more humble and self-doubting). It sounds like you may be up against universal truth #2 and passing savings onto your client is a way to attract more business. You also sound like you're happy with the amount of money you're making which is great, but keep in mind that the amount of time you'll be able to continue doing what you're doing right now and make good money at it is finite. Also, think of it from the client's perspective; how often have they offered to double your rate to pass on some of their profits back to you? It's a business arrangement, not a friendship. Make sure you're getting something in return for discounting your rate, like future opportunities or referral opportunities.

It's important to keep in mind that there's no guarantee what you do will be in high demand for the next 10x years, and there's no guarantee you'll be able to or even want to continue doing it that long. Because freelancing does not scale like a company can you have to maximize your revenue as much as possible while you can and save as much as possible along the way. When you're done, you're done. You won't have ownership in a company you helped found or a pension from a company you worked for. You'll have whatever you set aside during the fat years.
Cops already have a lot of contact with parole inmates who have dramatically reduced rights. So they'll just lump "red" in with the parole inmates. You'll hear cops saying things to each other like "he wouldn't be red unless he deserved it". Generally, having the cops prejudiced against someone before they even meet them is not going to turn out well.
I didn't get the impression this was for training, but for running a trained network.

This may lead to high quality speech recognition or image recognition right on the device, without requiring a beast of a GPU.
RE: down vote. Point taken. I'll calm down.

Except in this case it is the fault of a particular generation (or a successively greater failing of each successive generation): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lisa-belkin/how-far-children-c....

Of course it's not just millennials. I suspect there is a strong socioeconomic disparity in helicopter parenting, with it being much more common among the demographic that reads CityLab than the one that does not.
Companies that produce "security products" don't give a damn about secure development. They do give a damn about infographics and sales presentations citing "sexy-sounding" research projects.
It's not important to have a clear vision, if that vision only involves a small number of people.

Absolutely. A clear vision that's wrong does you no good. I know people who work too hard on their idea without testing it. No battle plan ever survives contact with the marketplace.
What happens when this runs over somebody's dog? (Or worse...) Sure, they have safeguards in place, but systems fail. It's like they have never heard the term "liability" before.

Same as for any automated system: reliability and throughput.

Some of these airports are enormous, Schipol especially so. They're handling 150,000 bags per day at peak times. If you generously assume a 1% error rate (http://panko.shidler.hawaii.edu/HumanErr/Basic.htm) and that each bag is touched by only one human, then you'd be misrouting or losing 1500 bags per day, which is huge. But of course bags aren't going to be handled by just one human, there would be many making complex routing decisions, over and over again. So the true loss rate would be much worse.

Bear in mind that if the airline doesn't get the bag to the right place then the bag has to be sent onwards later, and then the airline has to pay for home delivery of the baggage. So the cost of mistakes adds up fast. Then you have the sheer amount of manpower needed to move all the bags around by hand. And not just any manpower, it often has to be literally manpower because you need strong men to do this as the bags are so heavy, and they can't work long shifts because they get tired.

It's pretty easy to see how such things can be justified. You wouldn't be able to scale air travel to the current levels it sees without such systems.
Seems likely. They share lots of code and when one gets a feature the other tends to get it within a release or two if it makes any sense.
I hope they finally fix the bug where the ipod player will start playing a song from the middle (even though it says its at the beginning). It's happened to both me and my wife on every iOS9 version so far.
I interpreted the parent comment as saying that CMU doesn't exist to serve national security interests, whether or not there is an entity, like the FFRDC SEI, that does exist for related reasons.

On one hand, leading academic institutions are commonly understood to have a responsibility to preserve free speech (especially speech that is critical of military or government action), remain as a neutral education and research body decoupled from any specific political or military agendas, and help lead in social progress towards greater overall ethical standards in education, research, and scholarship.

On the other hand, many universities loan out the credential and status of being affiliated with them as a recruitment tactic to assist the DoD in the task of creating a diversified set of military research organizations, which from a superficial observation point of view (the view taken by many of the younger engineers duped into working for below market pay at such places) look like run-of-the-mill software/science/engineering jobs while having all sorts of ethical gray areas, and the end result is to create rampant ethical conflicts of interest, questionable management practices, and many other problems.

I don't think it's as simple as just pointing out that SEI is an FFRDC and moving on. The fact that universities in general continue to perpetuate this problem -- academia-military pseudo-credible research facility affiliation and status-mongering -- that is the bigger issue.
GitHub should allow you to choose which file to use as the readme, just like they allow you to choose the default branch.
Moving education features to September/October release essentially dooms them to not be used until the next school year, or at least the second semester.

Testing and implementing new technology midstream is tough in education. Most of that gets done over the summers in the US.
It's just a much easier way to get the beta installed which doesn't require iTunes. Just open the profile on your device and next time you check for updates in the settings, the beta will be offered to update to.
I have quite a good memory of my childhood and my complaints about it are not over the occasional smack I received, but of the arbitrary and inconsistent nature of the punishment I received.

Yes, completely. But to make an assessment of moral risks, you have to have the data. Something we are unlikely to get. Everything else is just conjecture, perhaps well founded and correct, but still conjecture. Perhaps then the issue is with over classification of intel, not the people in charge. We may never know as a consequence.

edit: In the end, it is reasonable to assume we do not have adequate data on the successes of these programs. 2 paths then arise. 1) Then you wait for more data. 2) You examine those people that you reasonably know to have access and take a look at their moral history and actions to determine the ethical issues; it's the only somewhat good data you can add to the set to maybe get a conclusion.

Indeed. It is scary how badly cars were performing in their small overlap tests.

Just for clarity, they did "frontal offset impact" tests a long time ago, small overlap however was a recent addition, you can see the difference between the two here[0].

So even in the early 2000s vehicles did improve for frontal offset impacts, they just improved further in the last couple of years with the small overlap tests.
