Amazon's treatment of their smaller partners (Android, Basics) has not been ideal, fwiw.
I imagine a lot of the stats are based on tooling defaults. For Java we have a corporate standard to use tabs but most developers aren't even aware of their indents. Eclipse defaults to spaces so thats what ends up in a lot of code.

Now people only look what I accomplished, not how long it took.
I remember that. Not one of the brighter HN moments. I've done a small amount of activism, come from a family who have had run ins with the security state (had my own as well). It can be jarring to then turn around and have to defend a position that automatically grants you "shill" status to online nutjobs.
Based on what they show on the video alone, I feel this study is unfair. They are comparing "one of the best commercial speech recognizers out there" and in absolutely ideal conditions (no external noise, no echo etc.) against a normal on screen keyboard with no prediction enabled. I'm no pro and I can type much faster than that with SwiftKey.

I'm not saying the study doesn't have merit, but "Speech _Is_ 3x Faster than Typing for English and Mandarin Text Entry on Mobile Devices" sounds a bit of a stretch.
Right, yes. I don't know anything about this person, but certainly there are people out there who would be biased against having their little place in history overshadowed by a new discovery, perhaps even unconsciously. Not saying she is biased, just that it would be nice to see the opinions of some other experts, not involved in the discovery.

In fact, even if it were a completely unbiased third-party opinion it would still be nice to have more than one, since as a lay-person I'm currently left with no idea how likely it is that this is in fact evidence of early life.
It sounds like you're paying an extra month or two or more of rent every year, from the 2 * 300$ per month extra you're paying.
I'm with you on this one. I had to set a reminder to "Get the soy milk", and Google's speech recognition picked up "Get this white milk". I knew what it meant so I just saved the reminder instead of correcting it. Unfortunately I cannot rely on speech to send texts, dictate emails, or have any other interaction with other people.
You're right -- it would be nice to have a standard AST for ES, which is what you have in languages like Python, so that tools can be built around it more easily and without lock-in. This would also help accomplish my idea of helping the community rather than one tech specifically. I saw some other comment that mentioned ESTree but I guess that didn't go anywhere... sucks.
The Windows and Mac clients create a folder in your home directory. There are ways to rename it, but essentially anything you put in the ~/Google Drive/ folder is synced just like Dropbox.

No native linux support is a bummer, but if you only need to use it there infrequently, the web client is quite capable for manual uploads and downloads.

This is why side projects exist.

Not just home side projects, either. Depending on what you can squeeze in, you should take opportunities to hack together little side things at work. You should do this for your own sanity.

Many times at work the awesome things come from somebody's (secret) side project, which turns out to benefit everybody.

If you do this, you will gradually fill up your resume with cool things that were a result of your own initiative.

Also: side projects are a source of startups.
I think the main thing to think about PRUs is that they are the way to do a class of things in software that you'd normally break out some custom logic or an fpga to implement. Sure they're hard to initially set up for but way less effort than breaking out the PCB design software

There is also a C compiler available, I haven't used it, but Tridge (of Samba fame) gave a demo at linuxconf a couple of years back in which he launched a plane (remotely) and ran the guidance software on a BB, with the PRUs doing all the servo/etc work coded in C ..... and compiled the linux kernel onboard at the same time ....

Yep, it's due to gofmt, which enforces tabs for all semantic indentation and spaces for all alignment indentation (which means lines never start with a space).
Yes! The color blindness point is a good one. It's amazing how 2 different colors can end up being basically the same when someone is color blind. This image (http://i.imgur.com/4IbhU9w.png) has an example.
Imagine a chart/map/whatever using the 2 colors on the left, but looking to you like the ones on the right. Not that useful.

Actually I was giving a quick talk about this stuff at work using this very example and someone in the room was colorblind and he couldn't tell there was variation in the colors in the sentence. So, basically I got immediate vindication for haranguing the designers.

Nobody's offended by your choice, that's your personal call, but to think that your particular decision is one other people can or should make, forcing your will on them, is pretty arrogant.

"Sexually transmitted" diseases have been given to people through other means, the primary vector being blood transfusions. They're also something you can pick up from needles either by being careless or having a freak accident. There's many ways you can end up with a disease of this variety even if you abstain.

Factoring in that some people are carriers, they show no outward signs of being infected, means you must get tested if you're intending to participate in any sexual activity if you're looking to minimize risk. It doesn't matter what your history is.

So your "it's easy" answer is actually advice that's misguided at best and insulting at worst.
A real estate agent explained to me that the reason for this is to keep the monthly rent as high as possible on rent stabilized apartments. Since on rent stabilized apartments there is a maximum percent a landlord can raise the rent annually, it is in their best interest to keep the monthly rent as high as possible.
> (1) shouldn't matter if there's some mapping between those types and functions of type `nat -> nat`.

That's the thing. In some languages, this mapping doesn't always exist.

> AIUI, the CTT is equivalent to saying that anything that can be computed at all (regardless of type signature) can be done via the `nat -> nat` functions representable on some TM.

The Church-Turing thesis says absolutely nothing about abstraction barriers your language might enforce, e.g., what you get if your language has parametric polymorphism (and no means to circumvent it, e.g., reflection).

These abstraction barriers might seem just like limitations that buy you nothing, but that's not the case. For example, if your language has abstract types (not the same thing as abstract classes), then you can be sure that any internal invariant violations can be traced to the module where the abstract type is defined. Have fun getting a static guarantee of this kind in C or Java.

> How is it not about that? Everything you do is converted down to CPU ops that just implement (something expressible as) functions on natural numbers (technically, fixed-with binary numbers).

Compilation translates programs in a source language into semantically equivalent programs in the target language. Compilation doesn't guarantee that every target language program is expressible in the source language - in fact, this is often not the case.

Icelandic Aerofoil Humbles Formula 1 Engineer
Between the ages of 30 and 38 I have been focused on my career primarily. I am interested in building and creating and that has always been my focus.

I have dated a bunch, but I am not a fan of it. For me, my comfort level requires some time, so I have always preferred a relationship as opposed to a couple of months here and there dating. I don't think there is a right or wrong there, it's entirely personal preference. I will say that between 15 and 35 I got everything out of my system. When I got married I was not worried about anything I hadn't done yet. I am originally from the Midwest and I have lived in Los Angeles and Manhattan multiple times, and traveled internationally, so my experiences have been diverse.

There is no right person, age or time. I appreciate that you are looking for an answer, but I think it comes down to faith. I mean this in the most non-religious way possible, but I am not sure how else to describe it. When you believe things are going to work because you believe you and your partner have the same understanding and objectives regarding the relationship, and you believe your partner has the same belief, I think that's as close as you can get to knowing the answer to any of those questions about right person, time or age.

I was not looking and I was surprised with who it was, as well as when and where I found my wife.

They should have tried it with a full size physical keyboard and larger on screen keyboards too.
I lack the patience to create a video (kudos!), but I'm still not seeing how this is any more of a vulnerability than just sending someone to that page in the first place? It's not on a google.com URL, which seems immediately obviously to me.

It might help that I always enter my password via command-\, never typing it. So even if I was really not paying any attention, and didn't realize the domain had completely changed, and that my username had disappeared (which still seems unlikely), command-\ wouldn't fill in my credentials, because it's not google.com.

That last page is phishing, for sure. And it's going to fool some number of people, for sure. I'm struggling to think of how that's something Google should do something about though.

You've wandered way off-topic now and said nothing to address anyone's counter-points, so the usefulness of your contributions is at an end.

That you just continue spouting repeats of what you already said. I genuinely suspect you're not. I'm just a line of text on the internet and have nothing to gain from telling you this, so why not consider it before dismissing it out of hand.

I'd never heard of the 2-week grade strike at Yale. That's bold.

My experience at a state-school, tier 1 research university was that the grad student TA workload varied greatly by department. I calculated I was making just under $25/hr while there with the time I put into TA responsibilities. It wasn't too bad.

Some friends in humanities were swamped though. Most because they cared a lot and spent a ton of time grading carefully.
What I get is that the question is "Does it make any sense to compare the two models, or are they just different things?" and the tentative answer is "They are different things, but one end of TOP coincides with TOC".

I'm fully convinced. Both concepts answer different questions, and that is my favorite test (instead of the OP's "does one model map into the other?").
That depends on how you're storing the files. I was really just trying to highlight that for deduplication across files you need to deduplicate before you encrypt.
Glad the NLRB gave decision in favor of the student unions. Though it is true that unionization in universities "would threaten to undermine the primary relationship, that of student to professor, advisee to mentor" , the grad students wouldn't have had to do this if the private universities with billions of dollars in endowments refused to provide basic and reasonable incentives.

NYU, for example only recently increased min pay to $15 per hour up from $10 after the union fought for like 2 years. It's a double edged sword to allow unions in universities, but given the state now, perhaps it's wise that they allowed them.

IMO the tort of copyright hasn't kept up well with tech changes, but transient cache copies are handled in EU laws IIRC.

Similarly with your mention of the CFAA (UK CMA has some similar terms), they're very loosely drafted. Not accounting for the need to communicate the limits of allowed access is silly though; there's a presumption of allowed access online IMO (that isn't mirrored offline) and going against that presumption should require explicit withdrawal of consent.

Speech-to-text seems like a technology that suffers from the 9x effect[1]. Creators overvalue the impact of voice transcription, and users overvalue their existing input options.

The reason they offer a few months free is that it helps delay/prevent the actual decrease in rent. Even thought offering 2 months free is the same as dropping rent ~17% (for the first year), they would much prefer to not drop the actual rent.

The same thing happens with houses. You'll see a house for sale for $200K w/ a $10K bonus back to the new owner.

A drop in rent/house price tends to be much more permanent than just giving cash back.

This is an awesome blog post that is very well written, but the lack of incompressible performance analysis prevents It from providing a complete overview of zstd.

Incompressible performance measurements are important for interactive/realtime workloads and the numbers are extremely interesting because they can differ dramatically from the average case measurements. LZ4 for instance has been measured at doing 10GB/sec on incompressible data on a single core of a modern Intel Xeon processor. At the other end of the spectrum is the worst case scenario for incompressible data where performance slows to a crawl. I do not recall any examples in this area, but the point is that it is possible for algorithms to have great average case performance and terrible worst case performance. Quick sort is probably the most famous example of that concept.

I have no reason to suspect that zstd has bad incompressible performance, but the omission of incompressible performance numbers is unfortunate.
I was wrong to have brought up your personal political beliefs. I apologize for that.

BeagleBone's PRUs are an enabler of Bela, "the embedded platform for ultra-low latency audio and sensor processing" which was ~1000% funded on KickStarter earlier this year.

Bela is being used at the Augmented (Musical) Instruments Lab in London (and now the community) to make rich, responsive digital musical instruments. It has a Web IDE, supports C++, Pure Data, Faust, SuperCollider, etc., but again thanks to the BB's PRU's, it supports audio-rate sensor sampling!

Vice shows how not to treat freelancers
I'm one of those people leaving, but I definitely wouldn't consider downtown Brooklyn, it's not really a place (in the Jane Jacobs sense). My experiences walking around there are generally negative. the roads (Flatbush and Atlantic especially) are monstrosities that are not scaled for humans, and are unpleasant to walk along. Buildings are massive, set back, and imposing. It fluctuates between overcrowded and creepily empty.

Williamsburg is a (gentrified, yes) place. An empty side street is not creepy or deserted feeling, it's pleasant, and there will probably be some people milling around outside of an Okonomi-type place somewhere on the walk. There are stoops and the like.

Anyways, I see places like Park Slope and Fort Greene as more likely locations for people leaving Williamsburg.

I won't say this kind of innovation is bad, per se, or should be stopped. But the blitheness with which the article sidesteps the collateral damage that will necessarily come of this brave new era of efficiency and progress -- as if there was nothing more to this story than an unemployed engineer helping out Mom and Pop -- really is quite breathtaking.

"Democratized unemployment, and for many older blue-collar workers in years to come, a nearly inescapable sense of hopelessness and despair" is what we might want to call it.

Computers in the real world pass all their time executing the instructions that programmers give them. (Okay, not true, they pass most of their time waiting for I/O to complete, or simply doing nothing.) If a linguistic abstraction prevents you from giving certain classes of wrong instructions, that's very useful, even if the abstraction has no runtime manifestation.

> Some friends in humanities were swamped though. Most because they cared a lot and spent a ton of time grading carefully.

huh, strange. for undergrad i went to a "good" UC and this is the opposite of what i saw in my humanities TAs. they either didn't give a shit and handed out A's like candy or graded on a rubric (i.e. did student posit counter-argument in paragraph N and support with primary sources in p. N+1) while paying little attention to content.

either way they certainly didn't seem stressed... unlike the STEM ta's... who were literally going gray in their mid 20s and clearly drank a lot.
