APIs are just glue, what the FPGA world needs to be open is open compilers for high level hardware description languages.

However, there is little incentive for FPGA manufacturers to publish enough details for open FPGA compilers to be developed.

Unlike CPUs that can present a public ISA and handle fancy microarchitecture details behind the scenes, FPGA compilers require intimate knowledge of the particular FPGA's microarchitecture. No need to spill the secret sauce.

Also, when you target an FPGA, you target a single FPGA model. Change to a different model even in the same produce family you must recompile. BTW, for large FPGAs compilation can take all night.

And lastly, FPGA compilation is a graph embedding problem which is significantly more difficult that the sequential optimization problem CPU compilers handle. This is why it takes so long to compile for FPGA.
If that is true, then it's another example supporting my point.

Although Netizens fault me for not having a computer science degree, my B.A. in ancient Greek and Latin classics has helped me to create True AI programs that think with automated reasoning (inference) in English, German and Russian. My webpage at http://ai.neocities.org/SOTA.html invites AI Projects to expand upon my http://github.com/PriorArt/AGI/wiki/MindGrid software by assigning their own staff members to work on specific AI mind-modules. I feel that I have been able to solve the AI language problem because I first spent thirteen years creating at http://mind.sourceforge.net/theory5.html a linguistic Theory of Mind for concept-based artificial intelligence. My http://www.linkedin.com/in/mentifex profile indicates that creating the first True AI is not a team project or the work of a committee, because some one ambitious intellect must grapple and wrestle with the ordeal of initial creation, after which teams and IT departments and commercial AGI Projects can parcel out the individual enhancement assignments for the further development of an Artificial General Intelligence.

Afternote: When the M.I.T. Technology Review article came out on 2016-08-09 and was discussed on Reddit, my above comment was attacked by Mentifex-bashers and was deleted from the Technology Review comments forum in an act of CENSORSHIP by Technology Review. At the same time, my Reddit version of the same comment at http://www.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/4wvva0/ais_langu... came under heavy attack and was down-voted to a minus-twenty-five (-25) level. A few weeks later, from Technology Review I received an e-mail informing me that Comments would be discontinued for a while until Technology Review figures out how to manage them better.

I am so glad /r/spacex had the chance to host the AMA. Even this thread shows a pretty depressing lack of understanding (so far) of what Elon has claimed and what SpaceX has actually demonstrated. A bunch of tilting at windmills, virtue signalling and strawman construction efforts while the people who have a clue have a real discussion elsewhere.
Long ago, someone wrote a little app that did this. I can't seem to find it now. The premise was something like "you've probably already written a book's worth of HN comments".

They may be much safer, or they may be completely gone in any random afternoon. I guess, strictly speaking, that makes them safer.
Way simpler: from inside out, read any subpart of the type as an expression. (Arrays have precedence over pointers, as usual.) The type that remains is that expression's type. So e.g. given the type:

const char *foo[][50]

the following expressions have the following types:

foo -> const char *[][50]
foo[0] -> const char * [50]
foo[0][0] -> const char *
*foo[0][0] -> const char

Another example:

int (*const bar)[restrict]

bar -> int (*const)[restrict]
*bar -> int [restrict]
(*bar)[0] -> int

One more:

int (*(*f)(int))(void)

f -> int (*(*)(int))(void)
(*f) -> int (* (int))(void)
(*f)(0) -> int (* )(void)
*(*f)(0) -> int (void)
(*(*f)(0))() -> int

(In this case, the last expression is more readily written as f(0)(), since pointers to functions and functions are called using the same syntax.)

I'll add that they are building much more than car UI. They are building platforms.

The car itself is a complicated platform with many components. How they communicate will affect how easy it is for the developers to build reliable, secure, components. (e.g. braking systems preferably shouldn't be open to everyone https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-hig...).

Then you have the cloud aspect, which allows users to access car data and functionality from apps, allows the car manufacturer to do analytics, etc. Now you have a car company that's responsible for running safety-critical servers in the cloud. Again, this leads to huge variation in reliability, developer experience, and security (e.g. your car's climate control is best left to yourself and not everyone else https://www.troyhunt.com/controlling-vehicle-features-of-nis...).

TLDR Software is eating cars.
>>Then it was a darling of many of the liberal left, working with some of the world’s most respected newspapers exposing the truth behind drone killing, civilian deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq, and surveillance of the top UN officials.

>>Now it is the darling of the alt-right, revealing hacked emails seemingly to influence a presidential contest, claiming the US election is “rigged”, and descending into conspiracy. Just this week on Twitter, it has described the deaths by natural causes of two of its supporters as a “bloody year for WikiLeaks”, and warned of media outlets “controlled by” members of the Rothschild family – a common anti-Semitic trope.

This critique curiously echoes the two main propaganda attacks on Jeremy Corbyn:

> "Assange’s approach has taken WikiLeaks from the most powerful and connected force of a new journalistic era to a back-bedroom operation"

This assumes a false dichotomy. Wikileaks was never not a bedroom operation - that's the very core component of the "information revolution" the author is pining for. A young queer kid in Boston stole some very shocking videos from his IT job and gave them to a man in a chat room, who published them online. That's all it takes to change the world now.

If anything, all of WikiLeaks' problems come from trying to stray from this model.
Oh OK. Thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot more sense. :)

These two statements can be unrelated. You can see the world differently from "average American" point of view, yet have intrinsic aversion to questionable rulers.

The Remote Freelancer: A list of remote work alternatives to Upwork
I personally don't think that I have a lack of understanding of what Musk has claimed or SpaceX has demonstrated, and I'm incredibly skeptical of their ability to safely deliver on their promises within his proposed timeline.

I'd quite like to be proven wrong, spaceflight is an area very near and dear to my heart, but from my point of view Musk's reach appears to vastly exceed his grasp.

EDIT: I did enjoy the AMA though, as it provided some interesting insight into their plans for all of this.
After Shadi Paterson's post about his experience with Upwork (and my own floundering trying to find freelance and contract work) I decided to make this list. Please feel free to contribute and make a great community-curated list of remote working resources!

In my experience a small bowel obstruction is not such a benign condition as you might think, it is a mortal condition if left untreated and has mortality rate between 10 and 25% if surgery is needed.

For example if the cause was an entanglement, it could lead to occlusion of the bowel's nourishing arteries and cause irreversible necrosis. In those cases a septic surgery is necessary, the dead tissue is cut out below and above the lesion and the bowel has to be sowed back together. Sometimes the tissue seems ok but is in fact weakened, and rupture in the days following surgery. Sometimes it has already ruptured or cannot be sowed back immediately... It is in my opinion a very serious condition.

"All of this is the cocktail of ingredients that produces 2016’s incarnation of WikiLeaks. Julian Assange mistrusts the US government, dislikes Hillary Clinton, and has spent years trapped in a small embassy flat in west London, in declining physical and psychological health, monitored minute-by-minute in reports filed by his wary Ecuadorian hosts."

I'm not sure about Americans but I would say the majority of the the world mistrusts the US Government. While I'm not saying Assange doesn't have flaws, this isn't exactly a point in time I would believe anything I read about him, Wikileaks or his character, this is the time for character assassinations.

We also need to keep in-mind (as the article states) the guy is practically in jail, him and other whistle blowers are being seriously screwed over by the US Government, so IMO most of these profile pieces are going to paint a picture of someone who isn't in a great place right now. I often here people complain about the state of Wikileaks, but what do people expect?

On character assassinations, another example I could give right now is Trump, maybe it's just because he is low hanging fruit, but boy is the media giving it to that guy like I've never seen, it's to the point where I've pretty much stopped reading the news in Australia right now because there are just constant trump bashing articles, it feels like the work of "The Ministry of Truth" in 1984. Yeah he is controversial, but is he worthy of so much attention ? From what i understand Hillary is far from flawless also.

To conclude my rant, I'm taking this with a grain of salt :)

It could be an extra piece of disinformation, which can make it more difficult to evaluate.

I suppose I'd like it if there was no way to sort. What happens on Reddit is that such comments easily bubble to the top, and they're often wrong, or just making a silly joke rather than being informative.

Sure, but choosing another implementation is.. a technical choice, is it not? Are you saying that if i choose to implement a distributed method it's not technical? What is my choice then, political?

Because i have no political motives.. purely technical. I want less data choking the pipes. Which is all IPFS is ultimately doing. Seems pretty technical (instead of social/political, atleast) to me.

Waiting 24 hours will discourage people who are looking for instant highs, and will reward patient people. Seeing the top comments while the threads are still evolving can be very misleading.

>The WikiLeaks founder is out to settle a score with Hillary Clinton

...
I think this is a fair article, and no hatchet job. The writer has decided not to like Assange from working with him and experience.

Some pull-outs that show thought over partisanship :

'Assange is routinely either so lionised by supporters or demonised by detractors that his real character is lost entirely.
'Far from the laptop-obsessed autist he’s often seen as, he’s a charismatic speaker with an easy ability to dominate a room or a conversation.'

'Assange often trusts strangers more than those he knows well: He dislikes taking advice, he dislikes anyone else having a power base, and he dislikes being challenged – especially by women. He runs his own show his own way, and won’t delegate. He’s happy to play on the conspiratorial urges of others, with little sign as to whether or not he believes them himself.'

'once you have fallen foul of Assange — challenged him too openly, criticised him in public, not toed the line loyally enough — you are done. There is no such thing as honest disagreement, no such thing as a loyal opposition differing on a policy or political stance.'

'
Assange would not, in my view, ever knowingly be a willing tool of the Russian state: If Putin came and gave him a set of orders, they’d be ignored. But if an anonymous or pseudonymous group came offering anti-Clinton leaks, they’d have found a host happy not to ask too many awkward questions: He’s set up almost perfectly to post them and push for them to have the biggest impact they can.'

Most people have no idea what was even in those emails and most of the media I read made a point to say that there was nothing damaging in there (cherry picking the most mundane things they could).

There wasn't anything too surprising to people who hate Hillary Clinton (yes, she's in the pocket of wall street) and supporters and most of the mainstream media (MSNBC, CNN, NYTimes, etc.) didn't pay any attention.

> he seems to have very little concern for radiation shielding both during the trip to Mars or on the Martian surface.

I find it hard to believe his team have not considered something so obvious. This seems like one of those statements that assumed the experts are a bit stupid. Just because he hasn't specifically mentioned it doesn't mean it is not considered. And sure somethings are probably not considered, but something as obvious as this...
The second to last paragraph:

> No reader of Jacobs’s work would be surprised by the recent finding by a Gallup researcher that Donald Trump’s supporters “are disproportionately living in racially and culturally isolated zip codes and commuting zones.” These zones are latter-day incarnations of Higgins: marooned, amnesiac, homogenous, gutted by the diminishment of skills and opportunities. One Higgins is dangerous enough, for both its residents and the republic to which it belongs. But the nation’s Higginses have proliferated to the point that their residents have assumed control of a major political party.

The entire article is nothing more than an attempt to cast everyone living outside of metropolitan areas as backwards bumpkins. It's as offensive as it is transparent.

It's the difference between "declare a constant integer" and "declare an integer constant" and to me the former more accurately represents what you're doing since `const` is modifying `int`, `int` isn't modifying `const`.
