>You are probably right for big, cheap SSDs and fast networking GCE likely is the place to be. It's a newer stack. But this article fails to prove that, and it provides a lot of FUD.
"Local SSD storage is only available via the i2 instances family which are the most expensive instances on AWS" - He didn't say BIG. And gp2 is actually pretty good in my opinion. (Also, you missed the now legacy hi1 instance in your list.)

Not sure what you mean by "prove"...for instances with "large" (say over 250 GB) local SSD you have I2 and X1 on AWS, both very expensive (and I don't see H1 on https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/ any more). He specifically gave what SSD sizes he uses (800 and 375 GB) so the implication is that's what he needs. It is a bit sad that to get the equivalent storage performance of a $200 Samsung 850 Pro SSD you need to spend thousands a year on AWS, and for the equivalent of a higher end PCI-e enterprise SSD, I think only the X1 is competitive (which appears to be only available at a $3.970 3-Year Partial Upfront RI Price per Hour..wow!)

I was waiting for this headline. Someone edited his wikipedia article last week, but provided no source and no articles were published yet.

The Kalman filter is a fantastic tool. I use it and the particle filter regularly. Both are ubiquitous in robotics and cyber-physical systems and incredibly powerful tools.

Interestingly, Kalman wasn't able to publish it in a prestigious journal at the time and had to settle for a lesser known one.

Can we start a thread (this one) listing the data that people see available, for someone who doesn't have a Google account and is curious what sort of data are collected?

There's some stuff scattered throughout the comments, but it'd be nice to have a single spot.
This happens pretty often on many forums. It's like the Birthday Paradox. You can't expect some creator to chime on on some specifically-selected topic, but relatively often some creator will give their input on some random topic. In the same way, one cannot expect two people in a relatively small group to share birthday X, but can expect two people to share some birthday in the same group with high probability.

To me, any non-mutually-intelligible dialect is in position to be called a language.

The problem is that there is often a continuum of dialects where dialects that are near each other in this continuum are mutually intelligible, but those that are further apart are not. Where do you set the boundary between languages and dialects there.

P.S.: I'm not a linguist but because of this fact I would consider to define languages and dialects in a quite different way (the following concepts and description is my personal invention and not taken from some linguistics literature).

First we define the concept "speak-kind" as a generalization of language, dialect etc. (we use this word so that we aren't burdened by the fact that generally a dialect is defined to be some variety of a language etc.).

Now consider the graph where the vertices are the "speak-kind"s. This graph has an edge if two "speak-kind"s are mutually intelligible. Now we can define the concept of the "cont[inuum]-language": a "cont-language" is defined to be a connected component in this graph.

In this sense Bavarian and Dutch would be of the same "cont-language" (exercise: How would the connecting path in the graph probably look like?), though probably not mutually intelligible, but Hungarian and English would belong to a different "cont-language".
Just last week I needed to smooth out a display reading on an oven controller. The RTD was being read way too fast so I'd get a lot of flicker between values due to ADC resolution.

In the back of my head I remembered one word: Kalman. This line of code fixed it right up:

static float display_temp = 0;
display_temp += 0.04 * (adc_temp - display_temp);
Uhm, like google now??

I think they know much more than they are showing in that dashboard. Simply staying a few steps ahead and not giving them the option to even link to your account is worth for me.

To give an example on desktop, even using separate Firefox profiles for Google and non-google activity, it is embarrassingly easy to see that the activity comes from the same person. Just cross-check the bonanza of information like screen size, plugins, fonts etc. I would be surprised if they didn't do it. I prefer to not run the risk. So I go to even greater lengths than I mentioned above, however it was getting long.

To come back to your point, it's inconvenient only in the beginning to document yourself and to set it up. Whether it is rooting the device, or setting up your own e-mail server. In the end it is about the freedom of computing whatever you want on the device that you own.

EDIT: If I may add, it's not like I'm going full Stallman. Everything is a compromise, it would be nice if we weren't forced to go to these lengths, or to compromise at all.

As I said in other comment, the antibiotics one is a very simple case, but I've had plenty of other examples.

As to report the doctor... To whom? Do you know how difficult it is to prove almost any kind of malpractice? I've had a doctor insist that I had a sprained wrist when it was a broken radius (as another doctor and a simple x-ray proved). Another said that the cramps I was having were from an unborn brother (ahem). My wife was told in the hospital that she wasn't having an allergic reaction to antibiotics because she had had them before (surprise, antihistamines helped and further tests detected she's allergic to penicilin).

Of course, nothing gets written and doctors are very quick to cover each other. So how do you report these?

As for the doctors not being able to dedicate extra time to patients, I totally agree and indeed mention it in my first message.
Finding an erlang programmer available on site within 1-2 months is the hardest part of deciding to go with erlang. With go you can take a C++/python programmer and have them writing production code pretty soon, i think this is what inhibits functional programming in general, the learning curve bundled with the amount of work around prevents people jumping onboard also willingness of some employers to hire someone without a ton of exp. with erlang makes it difficult for a senior programmer to switch.

Maybe the rest of the family of kids who women bludgeoned to death, burnt alive, cut into pieces, stuffed down drains etc (all recent cases here). Maybe also the guys who've been stabbed a few too many times, hit in the back of the head with frying pans, etc.

p.s. Hospital record audits show extremely similar injuries for both genders from DV in Australia, with the exception that men present with more lacerations (because women use weapons more) and women present with slightly more bruising (because men rarely present unless life threatening). The only likely exception to that is Aboriginal communities, with somewhat different traditional gender roles (women at significantly higher risk) than the wider population and more commonly impacted by poverty, drugs & alcohol etc.

By that logic, no individual is responsible for anything they ever do because just about everything is "addictive" or "habit forming" in some way. Your suggestion is terrible for a number of reasons, but primarily due to the shirking of personal responsibility that it promotes.

Should Hershey be required to pay medical costs for morbidly obese individuals because they eat a dozen chocolate bars a day? Sugar is a highly addictive substance, after all.

Should automobile manufacturers be required to pay the medical bills of every individual injured in a high-speed accident because driving very fast generally causes an adrenaline rush, which is addictive?

Stop making it someone else's problem. Start casting blame where it needs to be - on the individual(s).

Nobody is forced to start smoking, or start drinking, or start eating sweets, or drive recklessly, or to do this or that. I'm tired of the popular trend of infantilization that offloads the burden of one's own actions onto society/industry/government.
Push it back towards does not mean that it necessarily arrives at its original position. Just that it didn't wind up as far away from it as you'd naively hope.

> Arguing some homeless dude has to be supported to sleep and live in a neighborhood park

"Some homeless dude" would in my case be my own sister if my country were as anti-social as some other countries.

If "we make structures to keep homeless out of sight of the 'normal populace'" applies to your country, then your country is already in the moral wrong for not supporting your homeless by providing them with dignified housing.

There is no excuse you can make for compounding on that that won't make it even more morally wrong.

GitHub does sort of have subtasks. If you use checkboxes like so:

To me it seems most likely they have a syncing framework/library that takes care of both the local storage of recent items, forwarding those to the google cloud services, and retrieving them when necessary. And when you disable the cloud services, this framework becomes inactive.

Of course, you could say the design of the framework is hostile, or that they should fall back to something else, but I can see this being considered extra unnecessary work.

The paper is essentially one wheeled robot following another wheeled robot implemented with convolutional neural networks. You are safe for now.

This is predator-prey behavior just like adaptive cruise control is predator-prey behavior.

I see several links in the article, but they are all secondary references. Anyone have a reference to the actual "prey hunting" project.

The same skill set is needed to catch a ball or follow someone to assist (as mentioned in the article).

I am trying to figure out if this engaget article is the one hyping half-functional robots as predator machines or if the researchers themselves are promoting their work like this.

I would also like to see what the performance is like.
Great question, and one that certainly doesn't have a straightforward or trivial answer. It's definitely more of a social challenge than a technical one - making publishing free/open won't do anything to fix incentives on its own.

My hunch is that change to this system will come from the outside. It's too risky of a career decision for a tenure-track professor to start publishing on PubPub (or any open/new system). But, there are lots of people who aren't playing that game. Lots of people who are doing science outside of academia, at a corporate R&D position, or for the sake of education, etc.

The most important step is to show that open publishing works. If we can work with these early adopters and show that conversations are more rich, or results more reproducible, we can start to go to universities and grant agencies and advocate for them to require open publishing. The first day that a university hires a professor or an agency rewards a grant based on the history of openly published work, will be a turning point. I hope it will be similar to the first time a software dev was hired for their Github profile, rather than their CS degree.

Today, software companies hire on experience. A university degree can show that, but so can major contributions to an open-source project. I hope science can become the same. Whether you're a PhD out of a great program, or an high-school drop out that has committed her life to rigorous experimentation, your demonstrated experience should be what you're hired on, not the list of journals that have found it in their interest (many of them are for-profit) to include your work.

These kinds of designs and your point remind me of MIT's decision to install heavy-gauge "security" screens on all upper-story windows of my dormitory, in response to an incident where an underclassman ended his life by deliberately exiting one.

They were godawful ugly, but worse, a constant reminder that we nominal adults (and supposedly quite bright, promising ones at that) simply weren't to be trusted not to do ourselves great harm at any moment. Certainly you could argue they served a useful purpose, but I always thought they were deeply dehumanizing.

OK, having posted something defending Go in this thread, now let me exasperate everyone by going the other way. Because Erlang's GC is per Erlang-process whereas Go's GC is still OS-process-global, there really isn't a "faster than/slower than" comparison available, because their workloads are so dissimilar. When an Erlang GC runs, it may be running across a mere few hundred or thousand bytes, freezing only that one Erlang-process that was quite likely not running at the moment anyhow. Erlang also has the GC-time advantage that it doesn't have pointers, so there's no pointer-fixup penalty. (It may be a disadvantage at other times, but it's certainly an advantage at GC time.)

That's just a linear interpolation between two values: take 96% of the current display value plus 4% of the new value from the ADC, which is the same as finding 4% of the way between the two values. It's a simple generalization of the arithmetic mean, which is the special case of 50%.

I'm skeptical that anyone sane would credit this obvious idea should to one particular person, which is why it can't be the Kalman filter.
Bravo! As a Firefox user, the trend of web developers only testing in Chrome (and ending up using features that only work in Chrome) is getting really annoying. Most of the time, the fixes are really simple, like including more prefixes than -webkit.

Very happy to see Mozilla raising awareness around this issue.

Personally, I have Firefox and Chrome open side by side for development. If those two work, Safari and Edge generally will too. I'll add IE specific rules/hacks afterward.
Funny - I remember opting out of all of Google's data collection years ago. I went there fully expecting Google to have no activity recorded, as I have seen when this page (or its ilk) have popped up in the past.

Much to my surprise, it was well populated again, with my web browsing/searching, YouTube, and location histories all turned back on again. I don't use the Chrome browser (aside from compatibility testing), and I don't use Android. I'd be very curious to know how all of this was re-enabled without my involvement.

Very unfortunate, and another straw for the camel's back.
Yeah... coming at this from the standpoint of a heavily invested Saltstack user, I really don't see the reason for this to exist. It removes all the other cool things SSH does besides just giving you a shell, with a much, much worse user experience.
