I know it feels like we are close to creating AI but it seems like nothing happens until there is a breakthrough in understanding mind/consciousness which seems farther away.

Facebook could probably check periodically from a separate IP (secret-shopping, if you will) and pull the URLs that don't comply.

Of course, it'd probably turn into an arms race as malicious advertisers try to profile FB's bot behavior and properly redirect it.

That is to say, I agree with you, the problem is non-trivial.
Stateful applications should use horizonal autoscale to hot-add CPUs. While this has a lower limit than vertical autoscale, the two can be combined with sticky persistence to maintain state at scale.
Facebook is already getting their own data from clicks, why support competitors' data-gathering services?
Maybe dhimes uses adblock and literally had no idea that there were ads on FB. I have been using ABP for about a year and never see ads on FB. I literally had no idea that 70% of the real estate is filled with ads either until you said something about it.
gajim is the best graphical client for the Linux desktop. mcabber and profanity are both excellent terminal clients (I use mcabber). GNOME Empathy is also a decent client if you use the GNOME desktop.
Okay, but what exactly is the problem here, in practice? That the market of ideas is less free because it's no longer clogged with racist and otherwise offensive ones? Because I see that as a good thing, and while I sympathize with your advocacy of freedom of speech, the situation is a bit more complex than this. White supremacy is simply not something you can have an intellectual disagreement about, just like holocaust denial. It's just not as valid. And unfortunately this is not expressed in the marketplace of ideas, because we're supposed to treat every idea as equally valid even if there is immense factual evidence against it.

Take climate change for example: that it exists is not a subject of debate. It does, and we've caused it. There is absolute scientific consensus on this fact, just as there is on the equality of people.

Are we still supposed to argue with people who ignore objective truths as if we're just having a simple disagreement?
Same thing applies to corporate HR. They are not your friends; they are not there for your protection. Their job is to cover the company's ass.

We'll probably see similar whistleblower-ignoring effects (if not outright disinformation & discrediting) in the corporate world too. The VW emissions scandal comes to mind...
I really care. Go for it: post contact info and how well you know assembly.

What CPUs? What modes? (16-bit, 64-bit, etc.)

Plain, FPU, privileged, vector...?

What can you do? (writing assembly files, writing inline assembly, reading one of those, doing disassembly, using IDA Pro, etc.)

Could you emulate a CPU? Could you JIT, and if so, from what to what?
I use the Chrome and Firefox docker-selenium containers in Testcontainers [1][2], my project for running containers to support JUnit tests.

I created this after numerous issues with PhantomJS compatibility and debuggability; Testcontainers instead uses the real browsers, and also offers automatic video recording of test sessions and VNC access for debugging.

Headless chrome support sounds like a good step forward, but if visibility into what's going on is limited then I feel there's going to be some way to go. Perhaps chrome remote debugging support?

Usenet-style programming flamewars are particularly not wanted here. The founding idea of HN is to try to learn from the community-destroying experiences of the past, and not repeat them, or at least stave them off.
Implying those people weren't already screwed over. The difference is that now somebody knows about it.
Why do you think so ? if we start with the assumption that AI can look different than human intelligence, maybe there isn't a need for consciousness ? or maybe some very basic form of consciousness like we already have[1] in will suffice ?

> I think it's funny that we Western people get so quickly sick from street-food in Asian countries (e.g. Thailand), while most locals have no problem eating the food.

I can eat food in Shanghai without suffering from traveler's diarrhea afterward. It took a while to get to that point.

With exposure, you'll develop tolerance for the local food. Hopefully, all of the locals have already had that exposure.
Whoa, he just photoshoped technical drawings of a DB-25? Surely if you're doing a group buy worth that much money

a) somebody in the group buy has the technical skills to do a proper drawing, or
b) you can spend a tiny amount of money to get proper drawings made.

I mean, it worked out in the end. But it seems like a giant case of Dunning-Kruger to think "Well I don't know how to make technical drawings, therefore photoshopping an existing drawing shouldn't present any problems".
Who's undeserving though? Someone lazy, sure. But someone impaired through birth defect or accident or mental illness? How do you determine whether someone is lazy but claiming anxiety/depression, or actually suffering?
Sounds like you're using Google Maps on iOS? Shouldn't you then use Apple Maps on Android for a more fair comparison?
Let's move the discussion over the linked issue on github.
They're not just placeholders though, because as you've pointed out tautologically (and perhaps by accident) that would be worthless. They're also an abbreviation, a label, etc. If you're saying the value in pronouns is that you can guess someone's pronoun by looking at them, you're misguided. Alternatively, you can just use they/them/theirs all the time, and you'll always be right.
"I think there's many, many other second- and third-order disruptions that will come from having self-driving cars. For instance, what are we going to do in the car if we're not driving it? There's this whole time slot that suddenly opens up."

Unless it's a cure for car sickness, I'll be spending that time looking out the window.
Sadly this is likely the truth. Advertising is a unique business model that relies on thinking up increasingly creative ways of tricking users. When linkbait no longer works, lie about the source.
It goes to show you that with enough effort nearly anything is manufacturable now.
Many retirees choose to live in Florida because they no longer have a job and would rather live somewhere sunny with low expenses.

UBI would have a similar effect - maybe you still want to have a job, but you can choose to accept a somewhat lower paying job to live somewhere nice. It would also put less pressure on places like San Francisco.

Being less dependent on jobs is a good thing. We should allow this migration to happen naturally, rather than subsidizing people to stay where they are.
Inline assembly is bad. Compiler will go nuts and cancel out a lot of possible optimizations.
I wonder if there exists a current/former Apple employee who would have knowledge of the mechanical drawings that were originally used and/or what manufacturers made them.
If you post your model laptop on the Ubuntu forums or on reddit.com/r/linuxquestions with your issue, you'll likely get either a solution or enough information to know how about soon support will be added for your device. It's often a solved problem just with no upstream patch yet.
So, respectfully, why post this to HN if you didn't want anyone to discuss it here?
The only rule that would bother me is the max line width of 80 characters. Why still stick to this rule with today's screens? I usually set this to 200.
I work for a company that manufactures things, its very common to edit paper drawings (with pen) or photoshop a digital one for which the source file has been lost, its not that hard to get it right.
You're comparing a single guy off his nut and mobs of organized students egged on by their professors. Can you really not see the difference?
Does it really matter if a billionaire stacks up billions in some Cayman account? If so, it is straightforward to use inflation to redistribute those digits.

What I care about is a billionaire who buys up all the land in my country. The land can't be hidden and is therefore easy to tax. I care about a billionaire who eats gold leaf ice cream sundaes while the children across town are malnourished, but it is easy to tax gold and food sales at restaurants and groceries.

The big problem historically with sales tax has been that it is regressive, but with basic income that doesn't matter any more. There's no problem I know about with land taxes except misguided concern for the elderly and corrupt loopholes. Why not stop even trying to tax financial abstractions and just address hoarding?
In this case there is much more to the story than sports entertainment. Ali was a man who stood up to a government that had conscripted him into a dubious war in a faraway land. He did so on principle, publicly, at great personal/professional cost. People can't help but admire that - a polemicist with skin in the game, someone willing to take risks that all of society will benefit from. And yes this causes a strong emotional response, not just intellectual, in fact I'd say it might be one of the most powerful emotions people feel, but that too is a good thing. It shows an emotional response based on a sound value.

Now, if someone is behaving badly or acting in some subversive way or whatever, then by all means challenge them. But this is about someone who has passed away. None of their negative qualifies matter anymore. What's left is the achievements that people can reflect on, or be inspired by.
While MS is clearly using dark patterns here IMO the user is at mostly fault for the internet bill. If you have an expensive metered internet connection and you don't do all the necessary steps to prohibit autoupdates it's only a matter of time until this repeats itself with any other software installed. The Win10 update never circumvented a disabled auto-update-download setting, correct?

I think the case for this is to be robust for the many legitimate ways that online marketers use ads and create landing pages.

Often marketing platforms (like Hubspot or whatever) lets you create multiple landing pages which might all be on a subdomain(s) to rather than handing full control of the root domain to the platform. In these cases, you wouldn't want pages.ctvnews.com to appear as the display domain.

Also not to mention the myriad of services and ways that act as a middleman for the click, in the same way that the link display on Twitter appears as ctvnews.com but it's actually a t.co link

If someone happens to be a high-profile security researcher, they can safely assume their behavior is under an Argus smartphone camera HPC cluster of microscopes and therefore should take extraordinary care to avoid any appearance of impropriety, even where none exists (just like when working at an elite university or MBB consulting shop). With Twitter and YouTube in every pocket, everyone is a potential journalist. If there happen to be a few feminist crazy people actively trying to destroy and entrap folks, then extra care with public interactions, coworkers and others is a best practice, and being guarded about whom is let into private parties as well.

Finally, it may or may not be applicable to this scenario, but a common failure pattern occurs when people sell themselves on the delusion of boundary-less, untouchable privilege and then end up in hubris and legal trouble (i.e., Jimmy Savile, Bill Cosby, etc.)
I am new to Rust, and RFC 1199 answered most of the questions I had in relation to the original OP link.

I understand the decision not to tie vendor-specific SIMD labels and such, but are the data types for SIMD, not vendor-specific headers, available in Rust std, or do you need to use crate?

If it needs to be brought in via a crate, and not std, I think the OP link may have a point, since SIMD is so crucial and becoming standard to many fields of computing.

For instance, for over 2-1/2 years, Dart has had SIMD types available in the DART SDK through dart:typed_data [1]

Again, I am a Rust noob, so pardon any holes in my reasoning here, but it would flavor my evaluation of Rust being a general systems programming language.

Facebook already checks the URLs people link to for a final destination, they scrape metadata like title, photos, description. They need to add and enforce a rule like Google's.
Bob Barton is in a class of early computer people I don't think can be over-praised. However, just to put a caution on the hyperbole, I had been a journeyman programmer in the Air Force and then at NCAR -- the latter to work my way through the last two years of college -- and I just "didn't know anything" except how to code a little and design a little. When I got to grad school 50 years ago in 1966, I was immediately confronted by Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad, the first Simula, many other things in the actual field, and especially in the ARPA community, and ... Bob Barton himself, who Dave Evans had convinced to be on the Utah faculty for a few years (something he was uncomfortable with).

In any case, this was like someone going from the 10th century to the 20th century, where as Arthur C Clarke pointed out, "Advanced science resembles magic". I am quite surprised 50 years later to still feel the same way about these people, but my initial impressions have stuck. They seemed and do seem: magical.

I've described Bob a little in "The Early History of Smalltalk" that I wrote for the ACM in 1993 http://worrydream.com/EarlyHistoryOfSmalltalk/. A truly amazing character (and I should try to write a portrait of him at some point).

Both the details, and especially the overall design philosophy of the Burroughs machines are worth close study. What was attempted in the B5000 and B5500 was breathtaking, and as is often the case, perhaps too much in a few places (this happened in the later Flex Machine as well, and in the much later Intel 432).

At Parc in the 70s we were able to take a second pass at "higher level architectures" (and so did Bob Barton at Burroughs with the B1700) via mixing microcode with fixed functions.

The Parc approach was much simpler and less comprehensive (had to work on relatively inexpensive personal computers, and we had a truly wonderful engineering mind in Chuck Thacker who was instrumental in retaining powerful ideas in a parsimonious fashion).

But this hybrid turned out extremely well for a wide variety of needs to make "well-fitted-processors" for higher level languages. Part of the need for the hybrid was to tinker with various kinds of storage schemes, formats, garbage collection, swapping, etc., that were not well understood enough to be put directly into hardware (this was one of the two or three slight flaws in the B5000 scheme).

I commend the "The Approach ..." (1961) paper listed above as one of the great papers in our field -- and it must be in the top two or three for max content in six pages. I should also note that Bob was a mathematician, thought like a mathematician, and designed like a mathematician -- engineering was more of a hobby for him (and not one that he always paid a lot of attention to). I had some of the same "hangups" -- including being a constant reader of everything -- and these were part of the basis of our relationship.
Operation Thonapa
Sure, it's difficult to make this 100% fail proof, but I think the point of the article is that even the most basic of checks are missing.
Nice. This guy has been struggling with that DB-19 connector problem for a year or two. Finally, he had some made. Sometimes you have to do that for obsolete parts. I had Teletype tape printer tape made in China a few years ago.

When dealing with a parts manufacturer in China, it's not uncommon to make a deal where you pay a premium for a few prototypes, and after those work, you pay for a volume shipment. Paying for the whole job up front is a big leap of faith.
As an illustration of LionessLover's point, compare "under treatment, two patients regrew their lost arm, compared to zero in the control group". The statistical power of that study just isn't relevant.
I don't buy it, it's an oversight IMO.

Marketers can buy domains if they won't want to display a sub domain, and Facebook can check the final destination landing page. I mean, they already do! Every time you make a new ad they scrape the final destination for meta tags and content.
I wondered if he received any experimental treatment for his Parkinson's. Or Michael J. Fox? Are we any closer to the cure?

Data types for SIMD are part of the language and you do not need any external crate. On the other hand, this is an unstable feature, and can't be used on stable release of Rust.

I am actually in favor of stablizing current Rust SIMD as-is. But as you can read on the issue, other people are not. That's why it's not yet stable.
Look, you're just another arrogant novice who runs around telling people how to be safe so you can convince yourself that you're safe. Maybe you'll grow out of that, or maybe you'll stay obnoxious forever. I doubt you want an actual answer, and I'm pretty certain you don't deserve one.

However, giving you the benefit of the doubt - There tens of thousands of programmers out there (myself included) who write software to analyze data. We don't make "apps" for users, and we don't download random PDFs or MP3s for input. Your view is so limited, you can't even imagine software that isn't a product or a tool for advertising, but trust me - a lot of software is written in other environments, and malicious users or malicious data is not a real concern.

Anyways, don't bother to reply. I'm sure you won't admit you're wrong, and I'm not interested in continuing this discussion.
To start with, how about adding a frequently-monitored "Report this Ad" feature?

It's not rocket surgery.
I think there is a forth enemy, at least in Europe. Pro-refugee politicians receive daily death threats and a German politician has actually been stabbed over her views on immigration.

I think it goes even further than politicians though. I only have my personal experiences, but to me it seems like regular European liberals have started self-censoring and to keep some opinions behind closed doors. I've always been fairly vocal about my opinions online, and about two years ago I wrote an innocent but critical comment on the rising nationalism in Europe which ended up in a non-liberal news paper. This resulted in Death threats and an order of Pizzas to my home.

Pizzas are nice, but it's also a strong message if you want to tell someone you know where they live. The newspaper was kind enough to remove any references to me, but I've certainly been sure to value anonymity in the political realm since.
"Inspire People Visually With Your Business' Story". In other words, this is an ad system, not a collaboration system. The title gave the impression that Instagram was planning to compete with Slack.
Just because it is headless doesn't mean it can't render to a serializable format (like a pdf)

Just because you have a screen that can display an enourmously long line of text, it doesn't mean that text is going to be readable. Or that you want to use the whole width of your screen for displaying unreadable text.

Lines longer than 100 chars are very rare in readable
code. And it is easy to break lines down to 80 or even 72. If you do that, then it becomes easy to place two windows of good sized text side-by-side.

The SIMD crate doesn't uses fast load intrinsics for loads instead it falls back on derviving clone/copy. Honestly it should have a manual derefence trait as well. Also now that naked functions are implemented it should use these to (?).

I can't patch this because I don't understand rust-macro's well enough to submit a PR against Huown's (sp?) crate. Which because these are repetitive traits/functions it abstracts away.

So I go to write my own and find out __m128 load (either alligned or un-alligned) LLVM intrinsic isn't part of the rust-compiler. (Or __m256, or __m512)

Soooo

When I submitted a PR with changes for these LLVM intrinsics I was told that I was editing an auto generated Rust file. Instead I need to modify a series of JSON files+Python script.

I gave up at that point.

If we could just modify the intrinsic file directly that'd be helpful. Yes it'll be big and ugly, but so is every compilers SIMD source section. The current JSON based approach is annoying. Also a lot more JSOn files are needed for things that aren't SSE/AVX like MPX and Crypto extensions. Lastly the JSOn syntax feels bloated and ugly compared to Rust syntax so it is easier to understand args/typing requirements.

I wonder if Google sample checks where those redirects go. They usually do seem to end up where they're supposed to.

The problem with checking them is that if you make the check look just like a normal click-through, the advertiser gets billed for a click by their ad broker.
This is an awesome story!

We faced a similar problem trying to locate someone that could manufacture otherwise non-existent parts: a 28-pin card edge Super Nintendo expansion port connector.

The only company we could find that would even consider it wanted $5000-8000 for the initial setup fee, and an MOQ in the thousands. It would have set us back around $15000, but our potential market is maybe 50-100 sales.

In our case, we ended up finding a wider card-edge connector from Samtec for an entirely different application, and we dremeled the connector in half, and then filled the side in with epoxy to create this: http://www.qwertymodo.com/hardware-projects/snes/snes-expans...

The down-side is, they're not very stable. Sawing them in half and then filling one end with epoxy results in connectors that have mating cycles rated in the hundreds at best before the pins stop making clean connections. It also adds substantially to the workload to hand-dremel the parts. And they're surface-mount, with the tiniest headers you've ever seen, requiring an expert to assemble these boards.

Unfortunately, a group-buy isn't really viable for us. But I'm still hopeful that at some point, we can achieve success with something like the author's attempts at hand-making things with 3D printing and such.
Bourne shell being replaced as /bin/sh by dash doesn't change anything: Linux and OSX don't use /bin/sh as the default shell.
