A reason I've heard against parallelizing compilers is that you get parallelism for free in large builds as your build system will build separate code-gen units (files in C, crates in rust, I believe in go it's packages) that don't depend on eachother in parallel anyways. Adding it to the compiler as well just creates synchronization overhead.
> The smallest self-replicating RNA is relatively small and simple, and can arise spontaneously and mark the beginning of evolution, given the right environment.

Do you have a source? If by small you mean 100+ bases it has little chance of arising spontaneously. The article speaks only to the possible spontaneous formation of building blocks, not of them assembling into complex forms.
Most of these you can only get second hand off of sites like eBay—at significant markup. Real originals are hard to come by.
Its just another form of indenturing workers, by holding these ballooning stock vesting schedules over their heads in the uneven employer/employee relationship. The employer gets stability from the employee, while being able to fire the employee after a few years just before they vest, saving the company $$$ and maintaining control for the current shareholders.

Yep, that's it. Somebody has ported from Java to C# as well. Next step is really to convert to use a Random Forest classifier. I'm stuck elsewhere at the moment.
And in Austin, energy rates are 1/3 of that. If your light is on 1/3 of the time, we're down to < $1/year.

Without any time/value aspects, saving $1/year isn't on anyone's radar.. especially since the AC turning on is going to be much more.
Surely if a previous society extracted megatons of ore from the ground there would be something left of that civilisation. At least a wheel track or a scrape mark, not to mention maybe a spanner.
First Derm saved a fellow startup founder's life
Actually the Jeep Cherokee was running QNX [1] which is not 'Linux-based'...it's a totally different OS initially released many years before Linux.

Frankly I'm not sure one can link the Cherokee hack to lack of a secure remote update mechanism. Of course signed images and secure updates are key elements of a secure embedded system. But the fatal flaw was IMHO a very unfortunate decision to route their IPC (DBUS) over IP with no authentication. A system is only as strong as the weakest link!

Never ever agree to a vesting schedule where it takes longer than a year to get your stock. 1 year cliff maximum.

> didn't involve leftists in any capacity.

Ah, I know, no true Scottsman!

> not half of the population.

Well, I don't know if any regime managed to kill literally half of the affected population, but certainly Stalin and Pol Pot could be seen as a viable contenders. Not forgetting the wonders of Cultural Revolution of course. If some movement hold the championship in dehumanising the opponents, it's certainly ones that created Gulag, killing fields, Great Leap Forward, and other similar wonders. All no true Scottsmen of course. And we should not forget one National Socialist Worker Party, which despite the name also definitely has nothing to do with socialism and such.

> And, in any case, Leninist vanguardism isn't representative of leftism

But of course. How did I know?

> the same way that Leninist vanguardism isn't representative of atheism.

Atheist ideas were not central to the bolsheviks' worldview - while totalitarian ideology they followed left no place for Christianity or any other old religion, they were perfectly fine creating new one, with their own saints, holidays, prayers, rituals and churches. They were against God only because The Party leaves no space for God on the top in their ideology. But leftist socialist ideology was the backbone of their worldview. Of course, now, that disastrous results of this ideology is in full view, modern leftists show wonders of creativity to prove that nobody who ever tried to build a society based on leftist principles was actually adherent of these principles. These effort are nothing but laughable, but some people do it again and again.
Not quite. It's actually a hexatonic scale, AKA the whole tone scale. Each note is a whole step up from the last one. The outer circle is a C whole tone scale and the inner circle is a B whole tone scale (i.e. they're offset by a half step). The circles and lines are used to highlight other harmonic relations, like the circle of fifths. The following blog post explains it in more detail.

You sound like every single martial artist that I've ever met, and almost every single one of them has - just like you - an overblown sense of how tough and knowledgeable they are, and how everyone around them is a pathetic worm who just needs to harden up and get to work.

Funny thing is getting up early to go to the gym or do some course work isn't tough, almost everybody who goes to college does that. Long days? College. (17 hour days for weeks on end through every semester for me.) You get weekends, college students don't. You get paid for your hours, college students need to work a job outside of their full time (40+ hour) studies.

At least in New Zealand, universities structure their courses so that only the top percentage of the population can get through the stress and workload - something like an 80-90% dropout rate by the end of the bachelor's degree. (Weren't you bragging about an 80% dropout rate in your course?)

What is tough is successfully completing something that medical professionals tell you that you very likely can't do, whether it's a college degree in an "inappropriate" field or learning to walk again.

Put this another way, if you know you can do something, is completion of it worthy of note?
I'm a vocal defender of vesting and cliffs, but even I think you shouldn't take a job somewhere where you vest in annual chunks after your cliff.

Bike lanes aren't really for bikes - they're for cars. If a cyclist isn't afforded a lane, they'll take the rightmost lane for themselves. If enough bikes do this, that lane becomes unusable for cars. Rather than lose a whole lane to bikes, traffic planners cut off half to give to bikes, and give the other half back to cars.

Hi Eric,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed response. I truly appreciate your feedback and will definitely take them into consideration.

I agree that we have yet to form an identity and that Lot 2046, as you said, has a very clear target audience. I'm not much of a designer, so I tried to keep the site looking as clean as possible. I did not want to go the cliche route of being overly colorful and child-like for a candy store, and wanted to maintain a clean neutral aesthetic. I personally dislike the noisy look of most other candy sites and prefer to keep it clean. Perhaps, like you said, I need a better understanding of my target demographic so I can tweak the design to align with their taste.
One possible angle for improvement of this technology: use a deep learning net to conjure up a different feature vector than the one I handcrafted from language/grammar expertise. I believe this was your idea. :) Glad to have you on board teaching and doing research!
I feel the same way about the Voyagers... Launched when I was in early primary school. Incredible to think that it will still be out there long after I am not around.

I've always been fascinated by that project, and follow all news on it that I can, and was blown away recently to actually have a Twitter conversation with someone who did one of the voices on the 'Golden Record'.
There must be 50 ways to leave your lover.

If you've made up your mind, you can just tell them off and walk out. You can take your sweet time and interview while you still have a paycheck and benefits. You can wait until the cliff and leave the next day. You can give two weeks notice.

It's your choice just as it's their choice.
Well, what do you mean?

I think it's obvious that machines can, for example, weld better than humans can. But machines can't decide what to weld. For now in that arena, things are mostly still human controlled.

I think your argument gets significantly weaker when you push truck, car, and plane driving onto the conversation stack.

Even the best of self-driving AI automation isn't nearly as good as bad human driving. Yet.

But the absolute best human weld joints are no better than the absolute best robotic weld joints.

I think you're talking about two entirely different domains here when you conflate welders and couriers. One of those needs a human decision to place the components to be welded next it in front of a robot that basically does one thing. The other is an actual adaptive AI that's trying to make decisions on it's own.

Yes, it's obvious that the lowest-wage and lowest-skilled workers are going to be displaced by robots the soonest. That's like arguing that the sun is going to rise. And as a society, we need to account for that.

But arguing that the lowest hanging fruit of automation is going to displace taxi drivers and gardeners in the next 10 years is pretty nuts, even for HN.

Fortunately we have common tools to measure stress and recovery rate (HRV in garmin or polar watches). And the latest ones don't even need a chest heart rate strap. Go hard and fast when you train, make sure you get at least 2 days of rest per week and most importantly get good sleep and rest. In case of doubt , check HRV indicators

LED bulbs cause problems.

In outdoor lighting they are too bright, and over-illuminate at night, but people use them anyway. They just turn them on, walk away, and blast their surroundings with obnoxious, eye-gouging light bulbs. Especially construction crews, that install cheap temporary utility lights.

Many people install them in places where the lights point away from them, and outward at their surroundings, such that they don't have to suffer the excessive brightness. It's like subjecting oncoming traffic to your car's extra bright high-beams, except it's the house across the street, and it never goes away.

It's bad enough that vandalism is warranted. Outdoor LED lights are that bad.
Yeah, a fair vesting schedule should evenly vest as you work, ideally as often as possible (eg: every month or week). Its akin to compounding, as a savings account holder you want the interest on your account to compound as often as possible.
Rhymes with quay
Maybe we're in agreement. You fit my definition perfectly - success for sure (even your own wiki page), but never that massive breakout. And hindsight isn't great for predicting those once-in-a-lifetime convergences. Maybe Steve Jobs himself could have led your 70's era company to be Apple instead. Or maybe the happy set of coincidences would have played out differently and it would have been a moderate player but not the most valuable company in the world.

I too consider myself moderately successful (without quite your track record). I've also been close to those who do experience that next level of success. They are uniformly talented but their huge successes were once-in-a-lifetime. Some of them even tried to replicate and they achieved only moderate success the second time - what you'd expect of someone of their talent - despite their obvious advantages from having done it once before.
It's pretty normal though.

What does it cost to transfer stock in the US in a privately held company? Here in Europe it can be up to ~$1K to transfer stock in a GMBH or BV, other countries more or less depending on the local situation regarding notary public roles and rates. In a public company it is dirt cheap but this is prior to IPO.

That + accelerated vesting in case of wrongful termination or termination without cause can be reason enough to batch share vesting events.
That's... just a hacky workaround...

Imo such would warrant a distinct class of "non-format" strings, just for that noun class; that you might talk about it as-is without violation?

Or for purists... commonalization of a particular 'magic' shorthand, such as 'xqx', that is uncommon in that noun class thus can act as a quick shorthand. Though such has additional 'logic' to say initially, it and similar shorthands form a basis for a community 'pidgin' within constraints.

Also, I am now full of irk. Continually colliding with taboo words containing (un)said symbol. Ugh. (WHY MUST SO MANY WORDS FINISH WITH TABOO GLYPH?!)
Annoying misuse of the term "draw calls". :- (
Also, the fancy transfer cable seems to be basically just a USB 3.0 connector, and by their description it gets about 3.4GiBit/s. Pretty okay.
The crucial point you missed was it had a really polished installer, easily better than Windows and contemporary Mac OS.

My non-tech friends managed to install it from CDs that came with magazines with almost no guidance.

Of course after you have everything setup properly, it is hard to distinguish between distros (other than ..say.. package manager), but those choices do not drive the vast majority of people.

Google does very little unrelated to making users use their services more. The self driving car is one of the very few examples and a negligible portion of the employees get to work on that.

The worst part is the freeways and they are the worst way to see the city. I always find myself wishing they'd dismantle most of them and force the city to evolve without them.
I think you mean rationalization. It was pretty egregious, though, yes.
Drunk driving has always been an issue in most of America. It's not taken seriously. In Houston there was regularly horrific DUI deaths and people wouldn't bat an eyelash (several times there were cars driven by drunks onto the freeway *on the wrong side. Bam, four killed. Doesn't make top story on the local news).

All the distinctive elements of LA have been packaged and sold to you through Hollywood films, to the point where it's actually a bit shocking to see some of the landmarks in person for the first time, because you didn't think of them as actual places.

On the ground, most parts of LA don't look like anywhere in particular because they're too low rise and you can't see the horizon either. But there are some tells in certain of the neighborhoods: besides highways and palm trees, many blocks have "courtyard apartment" construction. The landscape favors autos but not in the same way as a city like Atlanta, favoring a regular grid with sidewalks over cul-de-sac deadends. With so much of the development spanning a brief period in the 20th century(by the 70's laments for "old LA" were common) there isn't a great deal of history. San Francisco contrasts as a city that has had fires and reconstruction in its core, but if you go out to the western parts of town or a bit down the peninsula, it's all recognizable as being of the same generation as many of those LA suburbs.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit: Judge Doom's Plot to Destroy Public Transit [1]

My favorite thing about this movie is that the villain's evil plot is to bring about car culture in America. Watch and giggle/shiver. Read about Pacific City Lines, National City Lines, and the Great American Streetcar Scandal if you'd like to know more about its historical parallels.

General Motors streetcar conspiracy [2]

The 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, vectors the folktale about the decline of the Pacific Electric. Scriptwriters Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman explained: "the Red Car plot, suburb expansion, urban and political corruption really did happen. In Los Angeles, during the 1940s, car and tire companies teamed up against the Pacific Electric Railway system and bought them out of business. Where the freeway runs in Los Angeles is where the Red Car used to be." The story was told again in 1996 in Taken for a Ride and then in 2004 in the film The End of Suburbia.

"There are plenty of location services if you don't want to use what is built into iPhone."

You've missed, or are ignoring, my point: in China, if I want to share my location with a bunch of friends, I can do it almost instantly. Just add them to a WeChat group and make two taps.

With a group of friends in the US, I can't, because there's no single app/service that they're all using, that has that feature.

Also:

- Card skimming isn't a uniquely "Chinese problem".)

- The fact that you're comparing mobile utility bill payment in China, with autopay in the US, suggests to me you haven't tried mobile bill payment in China.

- You are right about Fandango - it appears their mobile app has offered seat selection in many theatres for at least a couple of year.
