I had the weirdest conversation with my phone this morning, and I'm a native English speaker with nothing really identifiable as an accent.

"Okay, Google." Nothing.

"Okay, Google." Nothing.

"Okay, Google fucking work or I am taking a hammer to this fucking phone." "DING!"

Apparently threats of violence still work against our machine overlords.

Problems like this can happen in any company and this includes Apple as well. Since Apple is one of the biggest Tech companies people are going to make a big deal about it.

But it is a big failure if managers/management fail to take actions. The immediate manager should be fired in this case since he or she failed to take any action or involve HR or upper management
Exactly. That's the goal for this project.

Yes that's right, it's so complicated nobody on the planet understands what is running on the thing or even where to begin to find out anymore, which is a shame, there was a time when it was quite pristine.

I recently switched back over to Linux for full time development and it really is like a breath of fresh air.

In your opinion.

Objectively, tonnes of people are using it right now, have been for months (is it a year yet?) and there has been one incident.

In my opinion, it was developed by engineers probably a lot smarter than you or I, has enough sensoring for what it does, and despite not being flawless, might be better than no autopilot.

>Also, the model of cognition you are describing (information processing or I/O) is very old, from the 1960s. It was inspired by the discovery of the computer. There are other models, like Ecological Psychology, Embodied Cognition, Distributed Cognition.

False dichotomy. As far as I'm remotely up-to-date on theoretical neuroscience both information processing and embodied cognition are correct. The brain processes the interoceptive and exteroceptive information received from the body, computes first- and second-order statistics, and uses those to emit actions that explore-and-exploit the body and environment (including the environment's capacity to process information or convenient structures in the environment that don't bear memorizing).

>The only reason to center the brain/environment interface is to try to separate what you consider to be the essential identity of a person from their physical grounding. I.e. to maintain a model which includes a soul.

Sure. If you want a complete description of a person, at minimum you need their whole body, including but not limited to their brain.

This is a ridiculous response. The known fatality from Tesla's Autopilot was caused by an existing sensor problem that has no remedy, besides more sensors. The thing will essentially drive into overhanging white billboards and who knows what else. The fact that this isn't a wide disclosure is criminally reprehensible.
Why are most of these articles about harassment in the office associated with American companies? Are women from other countries afraid to speak about this? Or are American women just overreacting?

In this specific case I understand that insinuating a rape scenario — which by the way is not against women but "everybody" — in a work environment is bad, but without knowing what other toxic comments or behavior happened in the same department where this woman was working, I cannot sympathize. Knowing how sensitive are people nowadays (specially in the United States) I wouldn't be surprised if the previous comments were things like "Man, did you see [female name]'s dress today? It's so ugly". They are probably worse than this, but again, without knowing the alleged previous incidents I cannot sympathize with this specific woman.

Also, why did she quit? Why not stay and fight for the rights of her other female co-workers? If what I understand from this story is correct, the other women do not report these incidents either because they are afraid of retaliation, or because they learned how to take (or ignore?) a (very stupid) joke.

EDIT: On a side note, imagine if the genders were switched. If the people making the bad "joke" were women, and the person reporting the incident was a man. He could have reported this to the CEO but do you think the story would have been published in this website or other? I don't think so. I am glad to have worked remotely for several years, to avoid these incidents with my co-workers.
there are countervailing forces in the opposite direction too though. there's something of a revolving door between FDA and pharmaceutical companies. FDA bureaucrats are also implicitly incentivized (i.e. its not bribery or corruption, just systemic) to "help out" very large name brand companies where they may be offered employment in the future. they have no incentive to do this for the various local compounding pharmacists that compete with name-brand pharma products.

Walk into the head of HR's office and tell them about it. Make sure you become a close talker and linger around a few minutes. Maybe leave a tissue in the trash can. They probably came up with the policy.

If you don't get anywhere, go into your boss's office and their boss' office and do the same. Definitely don't go to your peer's office / cube.

The weird confluence of Donald Trump, Egyptology, Numerology, and Korean gaming culture. This is too weird to not post. Say what you will about the alt-right and 2016, this is a brilliant exposition on a curious eddy in the current of the national mood. Where it goes is nearly incredible.
It's not so black-and-white as you try to oversimplify a myriad of issues and legalities. It depends. If the man stayed at a reasonable distance, presented ID, approached calmly and slowly and said he needed to check the health of the prisoner because he is both a doctor and required to render aid under Duty to Rescue, and then waited for permission or made his intentions clear if denied, things might've happened differently. Regardless, that jurisdiction is likely to be out a few million to settle this matter and this guy will be slightly richer.

“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.”

“An arrest made with a defective warrant, or one issued without affidavit, or one that fails to allege a crime is within jurisdiction, and one who is being arrested, may resist arrest and break away. lf the arresting officer is killed by one who is so resisting, the killing will be no more than an involuntary manslaughter.” Housh v. People, 75 111. 491; reaffirmed and quoted in State v. Leach, 7 Conn. 452; State v. Gleason, 32 Kan. 245; Ballard v. State, 43 Ohio 349; State v Rousseau, 241 P. 2d 447; State v. Spaulding, 34 Minn. 3621.

“When a person, being without fault, is in a place where he has a right to be, is violently assaulted, he may, without retreating, repel by force, and if, in the reasonable exercise of his right of self defense, his assailant is killed, he is justified.” Runyan v. State, 57 Ind. 80; Miller v. State, 74 Ind. 1.

“These principles apply as well to an officer attempting to make an arrest, who abuses his authority and transcends the bounds thereof by the use of unnecessary force and violence, as they do to a private individual who unlawfully uses such force and violence.” Jones v. State, 26 Tex. App. I; Beaverts v. State, 4 Tex. App. 1 75; Skidmore v. State, 43 Tex. 93, 903.
The point of the location is to make it interesting. Sure, he can go out in any local town and take a bunch of photos of normal stuff, but that would be pretty boring. This type of review is meant to both test the hardware, and be an interesting adventure / trip.

1) Rolls up, parks car blocking traffic

2) Tells police he's a doctor and makes demands. Police ask for ID, fuck you racist pigs.

3) Goes back to move his car that is blocking traffic

4) Returns to harass the police

5) Goes to jail, lies about being beat up.

6) Liberals applaud him like a hero. Fuck those racist white male cops.

No chance this guy got beat up. He wouldn't have gone to jail if he had interacted respectfully and complied with police orders.
This is one of the longest posts I've ever seen that managed to say almost nothing aside from dropping a few popular buzzwords.

>There are few who want to start from scratch and build up models. Many are ripping models from work done in the 60's,70's, and 80's without a second thought as to what was the thinking behind them. I chose an alternative path. It's paying off.

What does your "alternative path" have to say about visual categorization/object recognition? Do you have ImageNet results?

>You see a box. I see a relationship. There are no broad boxes over anything I am developing. The diagram was made in simple reduced form to help one conceive of the ties and flows to and from the world. People sing high praise of OpenAI and OpenAI gym. I experimented with similar open source packages when attempting to create a virtual environment for testing my code. I resolved on different packages and developed my own gym. I needed more access to the core/gut functions. From what I can tell, there are several other groups/companies/individuals that have done the same. No mention of them ever. No praise. Which is fine but it just goes to show you how there are likely numerous groups making headwinds in this area that no one has ever heard of.

Can your "alternative path" play Atari games? How about Nintendo games? Can it complete Link to the Past for the Super Nintendo, as I could at age seven?

You know why murder is bad? Because it keeps a person from living their own life. So yes, fucking with billions of people for x years, at best just influencing them a bit, at worst exploiting them rather extremely, soaking up 90% of their time so some psychopath can buy an additional golf course, absolutely does amount to a whole lot of murder. Remember early capitalism? Children in mines? So when someone gets exploited and then dies of diseases, or lives as a sick poor person for decades, is that not a sibling of murder?

There is something as the walking dead, there really is. As Nietzsche said, the last man lives the longest... but the question probably is, do they actually live. People seem to become more timid and more neurotic, instead of more alive, more defenseless rather than more skillful, they suffer "information overload" rather than being more informed. That's just anecdotal, but I'm amazed at just how many weak and stuck up people I meet each day, and how young so many of them are. Between their parents being fools or having no time for them, and them being sprayed with the mental equivalent of fast food everywhere else, sometimes even reaching into the education systems -- all that does have an effect. You might say we're being gaslighted on a global scale.. and mixed, dishonest signals hurt even the strongest people, others they can drive positively insane.

And they are only emitted by the unhinged, too. Only broken people, or people in broken moments (same difference really, even though I speak of "types of people" I ultimately do mean types of behaviors and habits etc., I think everybody can theoretically change but it's easier and more satisfying to be self-righteous) want power for the sake of power, all rationalizations and neat excuses be damned, that's what is at the core of it and it matters, and they are slowly molding us in the image of the screaming, empty abyss that is their personality.

Would you rather live for 2 weeks as you, or for 50 years with very strong dementia? If you set aside how strongly I feel about this, that I have chips on my shoulder and pet peeves; do you at least see my point in principle?

For totalitarian systems, murder is not an end in itself. Making people, their individual agency, their unpredictable "spark", totally obsolete, by murder or other means, THAT is at the heart of it. And in that sense, we live in a world that is becoming so totalitarian it might not even afford us the honesty of murdering us.

It may be that Microsoft is doing their usual embrace and extend, perhaps the extinguish part is not possible these days.

This is an interesting effect there, that due to WSL, there will be less perceived need to support windows for development tools. However, isn't WSL aimed mainly at developers? Regular users won't be turning it on. So if you're developing the next dropbox with clients written in Ruby, you'll still need a ruby and gems that run on Windows. i.e. to support end users, we'll still need dev tools that run on Windows. edit: Server-based stuff not so much, and server-based stuff is the main thing these days, to put it clumsily.

Not OP, but laundry for me consumes about that much time, since I swing by a local (self-service, in my apt complex) laundromat to drop things in the wash, which takes a couple minutes, swing by again to transfer to dryer, and then the third time to pick it up, at which point it gets folded. Those might take place over the course of a couple hours, but 1.5hrs is spent doing other things. Not at all unreasonable.

That's correct, right now projects in Bitbucket help to organise your repositories into projects. With the raise of microservices, it's quite common that a project or product is made up of many repositories.

In the future you will see us adding more capabilities to projects, such as permission management [1] or settings on a project level, which already exist in Bitbucket Server.

No kids outside, no sidewalks, no one walking around (without a dog) because there's nothing you can walk to, a bunch of unused baseball fields aka 'parks', the only place you will likely bump into your neighbor is the supermarket.

Then again, suburban dwellers aren't totally crazy because our large cities are also built for cars with space for people as a complete afterthought most of the streets in Minneapolis need a road-diet. In Minneapolis, we invented the mall (Southdale), which sucked all the retail life out the city then we added the 'Mall of America' just to finish the job, to add insult to injury we built preposterous skyways which divides what's left of our paltry street-life onto two levels.

By "trying hard to be polite", I mean he was making an effort to be polite when he had no need to be after Bram was already rude and dismissive, not that Thiago has trouble being polite. Read the neovim issues in github: Thiago is a model of good-natured engagement with almost everyone. In the original patch request thread he's far from impolite, and he's more polite than Bram is.

And "makes debugging difficult" is an observation, not a criticism or valid reason to reject--it's certainly not detailed, as you said. Yes, it's more difficult debugging it directly, but the architectural separation makes the components more loosely coupled and more easily tested in isolation--it's a valid tradeoff, and one the neovim has demonstrated to work well in actual fact.

I mean, it's an accomplishment for Bram to add async to vim, but let's not forget who actually did it first, successfully, and along the way accomplished a lot more.

Why are you so hostile to neovim? By any measure they've done a tremendous job modernizing the codebase for vim and rejuvenating development of both neovim and vim.

Step back and ask yourself: if you were approaching both projects fresh, and asking which you might want to participate in, which would you choose and why, ignoring politeness on either side?

That equation makes it a little too easy to have a rosy picture of things.

A failed startup can be very expensive. You might break even. You might not. Just from the financial perspective on it, when you start including negative and near-zero values on the left side of that equation, conservative job at bigcorp starts looking good.

Then think about the rest of your life. Surely there is some value in getting enough sleep, having free time, work-life balance (because your work isn't 100% of your life), and a basic level of security. Startup life sucks; there are far fewer people who have what it takes (including luck) than there are people who think they do.
