I cannot wait for ThumbEE to make it into the "main stream" ARM server market. Think about the huge speed boosts we could see?

To be fair to the Wright brothers, there was a lot of competition and it was almost all terrible. Flight isn't gliding. Flight needs to be sustained, controlled, and powered. Lots of people were creating human sized gliders that were kinda sorta powered and/or kinda sorta controlled, but not quite and certainly not enough for any kind of safe or reasonable transport.

The best knowledge of aerodynamics we had back then was via Otto Lilienthal (who died experimenting with powered flight), which simply wasn't good enough. While the Wrights had many innovations, it was probably the wind tunnel they built to learn more about wing and propeller design that gave them the upper hand. Before this everyone was just guessing at what a wing should actually look like and those who guessed closely were still guessing and couldn't optimize the solution.

https://wright.nasa.gov/airplane/tunnel.html

At the end of their 1901 wind tunnel tests, the Wright brothers had the most detailed data in the world for the design of aircraft wings. In 1902, they returned to Kitty Hawk with a new aircraft based on their new data. This aircraft performed much better than the 1901 aircraft and lead directly to the successful 1903 flyer. Results of the wind tunnel tests were also used in the design of their propellers.
Without finding evidence myself, I'd like to know more about other instances of Tesla vehicle repairs. Right now I just have this sample size of 1, so it's hard to make a judgement about how Tesla deals with other customer's repair jobs. Is this just an anecdote of a rare occurrence and a customer service failure, or an example of a more pervasive problem? Would be good to know more.
I've had pretty good luck on my homebrew FreeNAS server that I ran about a year ago. I only had 8GB of RAM, and I managed to lose drives and replace them without losing data...maybe the bug you had got fixed by the time I used it?

Now this server runs on ZFS on Linux using Proxmox, though admittedly I did up the RAM to 32GB.
Most of the time, you can opt out of these optimizations.
Good point. I work in the "relatively safe" area of academic research, but the point still holds.

Even more broadly, your thought has made me wax a little philosophical about capitalism: we believe that 1) everyone should work, 2) I only want winners to work with/for me, and 3) not everyone can be a winner. I guess you can't have all three, but we sure try.

If you put it in that light, maybe Kaggle isn't so bad. But OTOH, we do make the distinction between employees and entrepreneurs for a reason.

I recently had a very similar experience with my Model S, although it was a month as opposed to multiple months that the author faced. I had a front bumper issue, and by all accounts it was a minor collision (car was moving at around 4mph). Needed the bumper replaced, along with parts that sit behind the bumper. Tesla handed it over to a body-shop who
(a) sat on it due to needed parts, authorized by Tesla,
(b) took time to repair/assemble as only certified (by Tesla) technicians can work on the car,
(c) the certification is apparently expensive and time-consuming so most body shops can only afford to have one technician at best to be certified,
(d) this leads to large delays

I can't think of an easy solution here -- as an owner I'd like the car back in a shape that's as good as before, and certified by the maker. But the bottlenecks here seem to be with Tesla.

The server market only cares about price/watt and size. 1U is very small for such a parallel system, no need to write your code for Phis or anything like that, and low power in comparison to Intel.

The thing is, you've just spent a month watching this pair of eyes follow you around the room, and this face very slowly get the hang of smiling (initially it is only when they are defecating).

When they get to the stage of being able to hold objects, this is a major event. When they get the hang of putting stuff in their own mouths during teething, rather than screaming until you let them bite your finger, is another, similar world-changing event.

This was a mystery to me too, before. Now I understand, and am even mildly interested in other peoples' babies (since I have one to compare them with.)

Parenting also has another similarity with D&D: your adversary is surprisingly intelligent. (when they're grouchy, they'll see through your hacks very quickly and scream until you do it properly, however tired you are. A "hack" in this instance might be giving them the same toy to chew again, rather than a new one from the mat.)

oh hey, I just realised it was you - I tweeted you about getting in touch previously.

Yeah this is a big focal point for v1 - providing an avenue for developers to write in any features that aren't natively provided in the editor. I'm currently playing around with a "code view" that shows you the compiled, unminified version of whichever component you're working on and allows you to modify it directly. The plan is to save those modifications as a diff that can be re-integrated when the component is built. Obviously it's not quite as simple as that but my hope is that the editor will be able to gradually add new workflows for missing features but without constraining developers.
> Yes, Uber seems to be having serious culture issues but the underlying problems of sexism and favoritism towards "high achievers" are industry-wide - not just limited to Uber.

Although these issues are experienced everywhere, they appear to have a higher occurrence at Uber, so it makes sense to focus more on Uber than the industry as a whole.

> it's only fair to assume that they will come out of this mess and fix their problems as soon as possible

That's appears to be part of the issue with Uber - their culture of self-promotion at all costs. I have no doubt Uber will do whatever they can to make it through this mess. My major concern is that "whatever they can" is merely superficial change, like maybe firing some token dude who's only been there a month and saying, "See? We've changed!"

The linked article, by associating risk with merely being employed at Uber, does the industry a favor by helping uber to do the Right Thing and protect itself by protecting its employees.

The real change that needs to happen, is that people that work at Uber are safe. What better way to make that happen then threaten Uber's ability to hire and retain talent?
It's a mix. On the one hand, I do also regret not being able to crunch things through the night like I used to. On the other hand, most of that stuff matters a lot less to me now than it used to.

I mean, I still do a fair amount of hobby stuff and learning new tech stacks, but it's just one part of my identity instead of being the primary part. If I was gung-ho about wanting to start a company and never got the chance, then I might feel more regret about it. But that has never been a personal goal of mine.

I've talked to a lot of dads at my workplace about this. Everyone has these questions come up, and everyone feels closest to their children at different timescales too. E.g. some dads do not feel close to their kids as babies at all, but became very attached once they started talking.

Lots of random thoughts there. Just don't beat yourself up over it.

I live in New Hampshire and walk 50 steps around the side of the house before sunrise to a small shed that I turned into a wifi + power-equipped cabin with a big window overlooking a lake. Best commute ever. I'm no longer jealous watching birds walk around in the grass while I'm stuck in traffic doing a job that only a robot should be doing (driving). Now I enjoy the company of wildlife (there's a family of gofers nesting under the shed), watch loons and red-tailed hawks and woodpeckers and take frequent walks outside to think.

Exactly. There are so many times I'm exhausted after getting the kids to bed and I just browse the Internet. If I was really intentional about my time, even that fifteen minutes could be used to work towards my goals. But, there is a powerful story telling me that it won't make a difference if I just waste that time.
I loved discovering the main bus strategy in factorio (everything you produce goes on a very wide main bus, so that others can easily pick it off) at the same time I was implementing an Event Bus (post events to one bus, subscribers listen and react) in some Java code.

> The body shop Tesla certified?

True. But Tesla doesn't have a lot of options, given the average body shop's reputation.
No one has to "attempt to divide the genders." Women have already been subjected to this in colonial and imperial countries for at least thousands of years.

What you see as an "attempt at dividing" is more accurately the article showing you reality while you dismiss it.
It has a built-in cryptographically sound random source, uses modern JS primitives (Uint8Array and Promise), and easily outperforms SJCL at hashing and HMACing.

Additionally, the WebCrypto operations are built into the browser platform and cannot be overwritten by userland javascript, though the interface can be spoofed in browsers that do not support it natively.

WFH for HashiCorp now, so 0 commute time! \o/

Prior to that I bike commuted probably 4/5ths of the time for 6 years in Portland, OR. Commute time was generally 30-45 minutes to go 4-5 miles each way. Quite pleasant most of the year, but Jan-Mar were awful. Employers always provided a place to lockup bikes otherwise it would have been a non-starter.

The other 1/5th of the time would be by public transit when I lived close to that, and then car pooling with a coworker when I didn't. I think I drove my own car to work perhaps a dozen times in 6 years.

I'd estimate biking added 10-15 minutes each way over driving, but that may not be true now that traffic has gotten more congested in Portland.

(While 0 commute time is nice, I was in far better shape when I was commuting!)
The issue was fixed 2 versions down from the one I had started with... but there were cascading drive failures... wound up putting 4x4TB wd reds in my old synology box, managed to get a few things off of the freenas server, but it died rather painfully... would hard lock after about 10-15 minutes requiring a reboot... start copying again... after a day of that, I had most of my music, some of my commercial software and a few other things... lost all my dvd/br rips, etc...

Thinking of another synology box in a few months, bumping to more or larger drives. Though, space would be less of a problem if I were willing to re-rip everything to h.265, finally got my settings for the nv encoder pretty well balanced, just a lot of time.
Howdy! It is definitely the case that most production languages use handbuilt parsers. In talking with these compiler developers, they are obsessed with control (speed, error reporting, ...) and want very specific data structures built during the parse. They also tend to use existing lexer infrastructure that is baked into their development environments. I commented more on this topic here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16503217/antlr-for-commer...

The thing to remember is that the vast majority of parsers out there are not for these production language compilers. Compare the number of people you know that have built parsers for a DSL, data, documents, or whatever to the number of people you know that built compilers. ANTLR's niche is for your everyday parsing needs. It generates fast ALL(*) parsers in a multitude of languages and accepts all grammars without complaint, with the minor constraint that it cannot handle indirect left recursion. (Direct left recursion as an expressions is totally okay.) For a speed shootout with other tools, see OOPSLA paper http://www.antlr.org/papers/allstar-techreport.pdf

Excellent discussion!
I ran into someone (early Tesla, no automatic braking) and it took 6 weeks to get repaired by a 3rd party body shop. One week was wasted because the repair shop and the insurance company were failing to connect about getting the estimate approved. Two weeks were wasted with the car sitting at Tesla to get new airbags. The 3 weeks of actual body shop work could probably have been shorter, but obviously they didn't have a long wait for parts.
I have not tested GRU cells on these problems. The GRU cells are not too different from LSTM cells--both models make heavy use of gating terms. As such, I don't expect a GRU model to do much better than a LSTM. But I cannot say for certain, having not tried it.

> I'm not referring to that type of support; this is merely support for the base platform. I'm referring to the entire ecosystem of Microsoft products, of which you'll find most are x86 only.

Windows Server comes with IIS and other services that would normally have been provided in a Linux environment by the Linux ecosystem. Also, as the article notes, SQL Server and Visual Studio were supported on Itanium as well.

As Itanium only succeeded as a server product, there's no business reason for Microsoft to have ported their desktop applications to it.

Low verticality and too much width, which sucks when reading long snippets of code which are 84 columns wide.
SJCL provides a secure random interface (it implements Fortuna). It's not great, and SJCL is not especially performant. But its interface, cryptographically, is (as I said) superior to that of WebCrypto.

I'm not sure it matters that WebCrypto is native and "can't be overwritten", given that all the glue connecting the crypto is pure Javascript and can easily be rewritten.

That is what I read, that AA was a good company which got nuked on account of a few bad apples. This was Enron/AA, circa 2001, and the net job loss of around 85,000 meant that when it happened again on a grander scale, Too Big To Fail was the result. Politicians didn't have the stomach for that many white collar job losses, especially in that economy. They were probably right. We were on the brink of another Great Depression and that wasn't the time to be moralistic about corruption. It really wasn't.
