> Shock horror: name of famous person who became one of most notorious criminals in history receives more Google searches than any specific search string related to the city a group of not-independently-famous people committed similar crimes in.

'became one of most notorious criminals in history' - ignoring that notoriety is the result of media attention, given his number of victims, I suppose it was deserved. Lets look at Stuart Hall then - he also became one of the most notorious criminals in history: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=GB&q=s... (yes, the spike in interest coincides with his arrest)

And it 'only' took him ~21 victims, 60 times fewer than just one of the organized rape gangs!

> equivalent search strings like "rotherham abuse" and "jimmy savile abuse"

Are they equivalent? Put in 'Rotherham', and you get mostly constant noise, indicating general news about the city overshadows news about the scandal itself. Put in 'jimmy savile' or 'stuart hall', and you get obvious peaks when the scandals hit the news, and mostly no activity otherwise. Peaks higher than the difference between the average interest in Rotherham, and the increase around the time of the scandal.

"Because most of the perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage, several council staff described themselves as being nervous about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist; others, the report noted, "remembered clear direction from their managers" not to make such identification."

Things that benefit a consumer on price (Walmart), don't necessarily benefit the economy as a whole (destruction of the smaller retailers that worked in this market).

Intel Optane Memory: How to make revolutionary technology totally boring
Am I wrong to feel that this response is written a bit flippantly? Of course, it's his personal blog, but considering he's writing as a member of the React team (and seemingly writing on their behalf as he includes the word "we" in the second sentence) it really feels a bit unpolished and disrespectful. The use of emojis is really strange, and reading phrases like, "How many components do you have," and quoting "skeptical" and "doing your job," reads defensively and sarcastically, not something I want to see in a public post from a React dev member.
It's two event/message dispatchers slapped together. One for "reducers" that take an event/message and apply it to state, one that automagically applies the resulting state-change event to do stuff to your views. You mostly don't need to worry about the second one.

As far as I can tell, that's it.

For bad reasons they've decided to stick with the terrible "action" name for their events/messages, which has made the whole thing super confusing (turning "actionCreator" into "eventCreator" immediately makes things much clearer, for instance).

There's also a ton of convention/process taught on top of it for some reason that's IMO not that great, and makes it really hard to see what's actually part of Redux and what's cruft on top of it that you can skip/modify. Redux-as-typically-presented is mostly you doing stuff to follow a (kinda painful) pattern, not the Redux library helping you do stuff.

[EDIT] I'd add that the communication pattern of the docs and various attempts to help people understand Redux seems to largely be "oh, you didn't get it? Let me say the same thing again but louder". Which is why there's SO MUCH documentation and chatter for something fairly simple, I think. Which just compounds the problem.

I agreed with the original post and this reply didn't sway me. I see in this thread that people who had already disagreed with the original post agreed with this, as expected.

Seriously, nobody not called Linus Torvalds should be writing direct replies to criticism of their technology in blog posts (and he's the only exception because reading his replies is very entertaining).

Yes, people like their technology and like how it is, it makes sense for them but, that's not universal; so addressing criticism (even as an attempt of countering the criticism) only legitimizes it.

If one doesn't want to acknowledge that one's technology is not for everyone... one is better off not acknowledging it, in any way; doing otherwise puts that shortsightedness in evidence.
> Why are fundamental things like resource allocation at least not standardised in the kernel?

They are. The slab allocator mentioned in the article is one part of that. The problem here was not that allocation is ad hoc, but that the author was unaware of the conventions.

>The one big objection I have to this article is the emphasis on how "opening a person’s skull is not a trivial procedure". I would be willing to bet that Neuralink is shooting for something which won't require that, along the lines of injectable "neural dust" or stents:

The stent is placed in a blood vessel resting on top of the cortex, this will never be able to give you the resolution required for what we would consider a neural lace.

If Neuralink could somehow make "neural dust" that crosses the blood brain barrier and transmits very local recordings then they might be on to something.

The dream scenario would be tiny robots that cross the BBB and keep going until they latch onto a neuron.

There are innocent people losing their lives in confrontations with cops (including the good cops who get killed just doing their job) and this guy is creating drama and looking for more attention from it. Just look at how long his posts are and at how he is begging for attention from everyone (the media, the tech community, etc). His altercation with the law (a misdemeanor at the most) doesn't warrant all of this extra drama he's creating. And what the hell does he want strangers to do about it (stop their busy lives, filled with real problems, to fight his battles and stroke his balls so he can feel validated about this self-inflicted wound?). The term "get a life" was creates specifically for these moments and types of people.

Lyft receipts provide origin and destination addresses as well as the exact date and time. That would be tremendously valuable for Uber. That info could be aggregated and then sold to Uber, or their privacy policy would also allow them to just scrub these e-mails (and the manner of scrubbing is not specified, so who knows if they consider the exact origin and destination locations to be personal information or not) and sell them to Uber directly.
Holy shit, that's awesome. Do you have the code used to generate this available somewhere?
I think that it is not a size point but an endurance point. A camera drone can be useful even with just five minutes on a single battery pack (your audience might actually be grateful if those overhead takes are less endless ;)). But a big commercial liner that has to be in final approach after only five minutes in the air would be very, very pointless.
A lot of people are ok with health loss if they can get laid. The balance is in the eye of the person paying the price, as there is no objective way of measuring it.
For the equally callous flip side, we pay LEO to put their lives at risk and potentially die every day. We do not compensate citizens to put their lives at risk when a cop is around. In this cold and calculating scenario, maybe dying is what they're paid to do, kind of like soldiers. Except soldiers have massively more training and seem to be pretty decent at verifying an individual is a combatant before opening fire.

Because LEOs were dead wrong in their immediate assessment of the danger, that means exactly that their actions were unwarranted. When you act upon a false and unwarranted belief, you don't get to say your actions were warranted.

It does not even matter if it will be ready in a few years or not. Musk is adding to the hype of brain technology.

In the past few weeks I have seen the number of articles, even on HN, about the brain skyrocket. This has been a trend for the past two or so years, but since the announcement of Neuralink it has exploded.

Braintech is becoming a topic that people are actually talking about. This will hopefully stimulate people to go out and work on related technology instead of letting it sit in obscurity as it has previously.

> Because as a recipe for success, riding roughshod over the opinions of 2000+ people who make all the content in your product is not a great one.

That's a gross mischaracterisation of data-driven decision making. The point is that non-data backed opinions belonging to anyone don't matter so much as the results of what you actually measure.

> It's not a pure Buzzfeed competitor -- it exists to serve the public purposes, not to drive eyeballs to ads.

Acknowledged, but effectiveness at that purpose is still measurable, and certainly should be measured as the BBC is publicly funded.

> not "we don't care what you think, people don't like the breaking news ticker so it's gone, welcome to cultural change granddad"

I'm unsure whether you're unfamiliar with media engineering, or simply creating a bizarre straw man of what was being suggested. Assuming good intention, and therefore the former, here's a more likely version:

"We've measured the breaking news ticker and find out it that X% of users find it useful, Y% read it, Z% engage with it, engagement with other stories happens A% more/less when the breaking news ticker is displayed over the top of it. Given that our goals are B, this indicates we should.

Instead of using all that resources on a new UI, they should have fixed their jobs search.

It has no real filtering or sorting. And what it has doesn't really work right. Like, why would you filter by job title, when that varies greatly by company.

I ended up spending most of my time on StackOverflow job board, because the searching and filtering works as expected.

PHP devs got well-deserved flak for a long time, not for the "crappy advice" (although there is plenty to go around), but for the language itself. That situation has improved, so yes, extend some courtesy.

React has done a pretty damn good job of looking at the "crappy advice" and treat it as pain point indicators, thus improving React further by fixing those. But you simply can't do that for everything, and a lot of the awful advice you find is what happens when you have a very low barrier of entry to both use something and give advice on it.

Seems with the advent of body cameras, someone ought to help all the trigger-happy LEOs out by doing some auto-recognition and alerting that what the camera is aiming at does, in fact, identify as a statistically great probability of being a firearm.

It seems like organized criminals in Europe have greater access to automatic firearms than in the US.

1) Yes, it is spun off from research at MILA, University of Montreal.

2) Possibly. Google and Baidu have compute resources far beyond a university. This method might be better, and do well with more resources.

3) Adobe's method required far more input data. This apparently requires only 1 minute of your audio to start sounding like you.

4) Deep learning has revolutionized vision, and language processing for a while. It was just a matter of time before people started applying those methods on speech data, with similar surprising results.

5) It will be hard to capture human elements like "emotion" and tone via generative models. Maybe in the future the work will become sophisticated enough to be indistinguishable from human speech, but right now there are some telltale signs that it is artificially generated.
If these people didn't antagonize and harass the police, they'd rarely obtain any interesting footage. That says a lot.

Disagree. Sometimes the main (corresponding) author is exactly a Master or PhD student, and will leave the institution after submitting the article but before it is published. Or even a Professor will change the institution he is in.

The large monoliths with huge ecosystems almost never get rewritten in anything. They stick around as legacy systems where the programming language & much of its code are preserved over time. Any discussion about rewriting such a thing entirely in a different, safer language would be foolish based on empirical evidence that it won't happen. I know this. It's why you see me on INFOSEC end suggesting to (a) gradually rewrite it in a safer version of C, (b) use compiler tech that automatically ads safety, (c) use monitoring tech or CPU's that spot severe problems, and/or (d) virtualize it as a deprivileged VM on top of something better. You won't see me tell them to rewrite it in Ada, D, or Rust because they'll never do it no matter what I say.

Whereas, suggesting a rewrite can lead to results when the tool is new, small with significant use + bugs, or small to medium with safety- or security-critical usage. Examples of last ones include DNS, web, key, file, and other servers that are mission critical and widely deployed. Example rewrites that actually happened... we'll go with DNS... are IRONSIDES DNS in SPARK Ada and bluejekyll's TrustDNS in Rust. Maybe add Lobo web browser since it ambitiously wrote a browser in pure Java. Dead now but impressive how far project got.

So, yeah, there's certainly pointless discussion that waste space on HN. Arguing for a Linux rewrite is always one of them unless someone with a pile of money dedicated to rewrites is asking which mainstream OS to rewrite in safer language. I'd prefer FreeBSD but probably recommend Linux for higher impact.
There is a large public knowledge gap in understanding the difference between engineering and science. Neuralink is much more basic R&D science heavy than Tesla and SpaceX are. Both Tesla and SpaceX had decades and hundreds of billions of dollars of research already invested in the R&D. Both had proof of concepts and a well trained work force. This is why Elon was able to "build a spreadsheet of a rocket on his flight back from Russia".

Neuralink has none of that. However, I am very happy that someone is putting in the effort because the results so far have been real and impactful.
