> Although I think they should have explained why they didn't use Azul Zing for this, I realize it's expensive but this seems like the exact use case for it.

Azul Zing is extremely expensive for commodity hardware; that's a massive price-tag for just the lower latency constraint. Their pricing model is a much better fit for vertically-scaled services, though they even argue that it can lead to reduced costs on horizontally scaled services, presumably on the assumption that you can use fewer hardware instances at peak to handle latency guarantees:

> With Zing, Azul has created the most scalable Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for enterprise workloads and made it available on cost-efficient commodity hardware. With Zing, enterprises can now dramatically simplify Java deployments by using fewer instances while achieving greater response time consistency under load and dramatically lowering operating costs.

Somehow, I don't see a cache solution working well with this pricing model. The underlying operations are presumably simple enough you can get the performance you want with thin, simple software deployed on many commodity machines.
You made some extremely good insights... ;)
> Perhaps even more interesting with The DAO, once you vote for something you are no longer allowed to split your ETH out and form a new DAO. This means that you have much to lose by voting and much to gain by not voting.

I'm not an expert on the DAO but I don't think this is correct. I think that voting on a proposal prevents you from splitting the DAO for a certain period of time, but not forever.

Looking at various discussions happening around the web on this blog post, it's alarming how many people are disagreeing about this point. Even the author admits that he's not clear on it:

> The DAO is complicated and I admit that I am not sure I fully understand how, when, and where ETH can be split relative to payouts and rewards.

How exactly has this project accumulated over $100 million in funding, when there's no real understanding among the community about how the DAO actually works on a day-to-day basis? This telegraphs the sickly condition of the DAO investing community, in my opinion. People seem to have bought DAO tokens to speculate, not to vote. That's a problem for the DAO because the only way for it to take more ETH into the system is for projects to be profitable.
That's one model, but you could also have owners of autonomous cars allow Uber to use their car in the fleet.

> Thinking only changes things if it manifests itself as work of some kind.

I never said I "changed" anything. Little bits get flipped on a hard disk somewhere, or in a ram chip. A computer spits out a different answer, or a new answer, or retains an old answer. Maybe it answers things it didn't answer before.

But "work" and "change", these aren't words I'd ever use to describe that.

Not work.

My grandfather worked. Tried to farm on and off throughout his life. Also held down a job as a construction worker well into his 60s. He couldn't do what I do (he's pretty sharp, I think he would have had the mind for it... but his fingers are damn near 2 inches wide).

To call what I do work would feels like an insult to him. Though I think he's proud that I do what I do, rather than what he did.

Work is physical labor. Not everyone is employed to do actual work. Some are in offices, some supervise. They even (often) earn/deserve what they get. Doesn't make it work though.

In a way, considering that the software I produce reduces the need for actual work, I do anti-work. Less of it is accomplished because of my efforts.
Comparing Miitomo with Candy Crush Saga/Clash Royale is comparing apples to oranges in the strictest sense of the term. As a result, the data visualizations are very misleading. All three games are very different genres and it would be expected to have different usage patterns.

At the least, the focus on only-metrics-SurveyMonkey-can-provide limits the quality of the analysis because it doesn't incorporate rankings and revenue which is relevant.

I guess we'll see who's eating who's words in time.

Most "basic" AI stuff like voice and image recognition was "a long way off" for like, forever. Every "advancement" in machine learning since the 50s ended up as a dud.

Then BAM! Voice recognition is here. Not perfect but definitely good enough. Image recognition is way, way, way better than it was 10 years ago (which was only marginally better than it was 10 years previous). The current trend of machine learning is accelerating progress, not a plateau.

Just think of the Geth from Mass Effect: their creators made them to perform basic tasks and share data. As their scope widened they were tweaked to handle more work. Eventually they became self-aware before they or even their creators really understood what was going on.

Besides, why use novels as a use case? Why not, I don't know, organized crime drama? They all follow the same arc anyway: someone does something evil or greedy, rivals descend into civil war, leader(s) assassinated, vague hope for better tomorrow.

It'll be like Winston Smith in 1984, writing the same stories over and over again and changing little more than names.

Contrary to the belief of the person you spoke to, this is a feature of encryption, not a bug. And you are not more risk averse by leaving encryption off, you're taking a bigger risk and assuming that the hardware will fail and you'll lose everything important on disk before you are able to back it up. In this scenario, it is more likely your laptop will get lost or stolen and you will wish that the info was non-recoverable by whoever ends up owning your laptop.

India is heavily invested in protectionism, that's the primary issue, the exemption is in place because it was clear no one was going to make smart phones there.
I would hope its not truly being done without notification and agreement of the customer. That is just rude and should be illegal.

The car should tell me each and every time the manufacture did something and what it was. I should have to actively agree to be part of any test regardless if my direct involvement is required or not.
My thoughts never lead to action.

I sit in an office chair all day. That's it. No actual work, no actions, ever occur.

It's not even fair to claim me clicking on a mouse or klacking on a keyboard are "actions"... at some point in the future they'll plug a jack into my skull and even those minimal physical movements will be a thing of the past. We're just not there yet.

The sum total of everything I do is thought. Not action.
It seems like 5 years is a possibility, if I turned my family into a Dickens novel.

I just found out this week that my current employer is being sold. Again. That's 6 times in 16 years, and 4 of those times resulted in layoffs for me and my least-connected co-workers. 2 of those layoffs resulted in changing cities, mostly due to the need to keep paying the mortgage or risk losing all the equity. That's a grand total of 12 different corporate overlords over 16 years, for 7 different jobs. Not one of them lasted more than 3 years, even for the few I wanted to stick with until retirement.

So I'll be dusting off the resume again, just in case. I just can't wait to immerse myself in the sheer idiocy that is the tech hiring ordeal once again.~ And this time, I'm even older and less "culturally fitting" than all the previous rounds.

The two times I bought houses during that time burned me badly. I lost all the equity anyway, even after keeping up the payments while trying to sell, and paying rent in a different city. Tyler Durden might have a better opinion of the credit/banking industry than I do.

I'm only bitter and pessimistic because the real world is an awful place that doesn't care whether I live or die, so long as the checks continue to clear. There are few people on this planet that can take a $100k kick in the teeth and laugh it off. We're not ruined, no, but I don't exactly appreciate the setback to the college and retirement funds, either.

Symbian devices were actually very good phones. For making and receiving voice calls, they were better than Android has ever been.

Of course, as a platform for Web browsing, and particularly for app development, Symbian was not good.

"...secretly installing them onto customer vehicles..."

Do Tesla owners explicitly consent to this? As in terms and condition of sale state that they give Tesla permission to update the software on their car without informing them? If so, is that condition transferred to subsequent owners if the car is resold?

Where I am from, secretly installing software on a customer's hardware is really bad form, and would get you sued if discovered.

> There's something to be said for the punch that Jet A still packs

I commonly hear "jet fuel" expected to be some exceptionally-potent fuel, but the truth is that it's very similar to regular old Diesel with aviation-specific additives.

Today, phrasing your statement relative to something like trucking, where hybrids are widely deployed, does not provide nearly as effective an argument.

That doesn't make it untrue, however. Fossil fuels have provided a naturally-occurring fuel source with a potency we are struggling to match. Everyone knows we've got to get away from them, though.
That being said, ciphersuite negotiation with weakened crypto is often even worse. The way TLS does it means that weakening the asymmetric one is worse than weakening the symmetric one. This is why OpenSSL disabling EXPORT1024 in 2006 was a bad idea.

I was shoehorned into "data science" some years ago. Ever since, I have been looking for ways to get out (always wanted to play with HR or PR), but people keep hiring me as a data scientist.

I filled in my skills and the first option it returns is "Data Scientist"... Even robots won't let me go...

Anyway, are you guys using some classifier to return the fitness of the seekers? I am guessing each skill represents a dimension, interesting stuff.
From the abstract, it sounds like the actual paper makes less bombastic claims than the news sites talking about the paper:

"In a field study with ten professional developers over a
two-week period we investigated the use of biometrics to
determine code quality concerns. Our results show that bio-
metrics are indeed able to predict quality concerns of parts
of the code while a developer is working on, improving upon
a naive classifier by more than 26% and outperforming clas-
sifiers based on more traditional metrics. In a second study
with five professional developers from a different country
and company, we found evidence that some of our findings
from our initial study can be replicated. Overall, the results
from the presented studies suggest that biometrics have the
potential to predict code quality concerns online and thus
lower development and evolution costs."
Good article. Also, you can use mount to test component lifecycle hooks.

Foxconn has finally been able to achieve the tolerances they need with their robots. They've been trying to do this for a few years now, but the positioning precision wasn't good enough.[1][2]

Their FoxBot robots are conventional robot arms on fixed bases. There are four standard models, differing in size and precision. Foxconn is making them in-house, for about $20,000 to $25,000. Not clear what sensing they have; the ones they've shown in public just had simple suction end effectors.

There's nothing exotic here except the scale on which Foxconn is operating.

From the perspective of a web developer or publisher, they of course want as much power as possible. But this is really a tradeoff, directly taking away power from end users - the accessibility you handwaved away, as well as things like adblocking, user-styling, caching, and every other unenumerable concern of endpoints.

I'm not saying that a delivery system for opaque executable blobs isn't the inevitable fate of the web, just that this shouldn't be viewed as progress but rather decay.
Splitting hairs. The point, as succinctly as possible is that:

Incandescent bulbs are inefficient because they lose a lot of energy as heat instead of light.

This counters that by introducing a crystal that selectively blocks the heat and lets the light through.

Maybe the explanation is wrong in the minutiae but it gets the fundamental point across.

Sterling Anderson (Tesla Director of Autopilot Programs) was a researcher at MIT for a long time before joining Tesla. I'm surprised the article (MIT Technology Review) doesn't mention this. I'm also surprised they didn't link to his video presentation, since they are the ones that put on the event. Here it is:

http://events.technologyreview.com/emtech/digital/16/video/w...

> he showed a chart illustrating how self-driving Teslas using the Autopilot feature hold themselves much more tightly to the center of the lane than humans do when steering the car.

There are a couple slides form Anderson's talk in this other article, including the one that this article mentions:

How do Apple's products qualify as "cutting-edge technology"? Or, phrased differently, would Samsung also qualify? HTC? LG?

What differentiates "cutting-edge" from "just another widget" in the consumer electronics sector?
Agreed. Automation is also replacing service jobs.
They are, but in that case you'd use raw pointers.

The reason this works is because of discipline. Generally, there is a FooManager class which owns Foos. The FooManager is responsible for both allocating and deallocating Foos, regardless of where they're used. And in a game, "When should something be deallocated?" usually has a clear answer: When the level loads, for example, or when you move from one part of the continuous world to another part.

Then there are Subsystems (singletons) for each division of the engine: GraphicsSubsystem, InputSubsystem, etc.

Between those two patterns, there aren't a lot of ways to lose track of a pointer.
None of these languages even come close to the level of library support and popularity as Java. Additionally it becomes a people problem when you use a language people aren't as familiar with leading to people building connectors which don't perform as well as using the original libraries.

With Java, you can directly import a lot more, especially since the vast majority of OSS in this ecosystem is written in a JVM language.
Depends. I have been to bars where the bartender is a large part of the experience. Good bartenders joke and make you feel good at the place. Bad bartenders ignore you, don't get you drinks in a timely manner, and generally make you feel small and ignored. I would vastly prefer to go to an establishment with the good bartenders than to have a soda-machine like experience.

Totally right. I wasn't thinking about this correctly.

A very good question. How much should the software count towards what something is compared to the hardware, and how much would Apple value iOS compared to the hardware design of a new iPhone. I imagine traditionally it would be quite a bit more, but Apple also invested in a foundry and produces their own chips, so that definitely increases the hardware side valuation.
