London's transport system is at capacity, not just roads but rail and air transport are all operating at 100% and can barely grow. So restricting transport further is politically difficult, for example, it is typically hard to actually get a seat on commuter trains due to overcrowding and my experience is that people frequently turn up to work late or miss trains because there is physically no space left on the transport system to get them to work.

Given that, putting even more load on public transport by restricting vehicle traffic would be politically very difficult. Crossrail will help relieve the pressure along its route (10% capacity bump on rail!) but given the growth in the cities population and the possibility that the population figures are wrong anyway (the UK has not done a census for a long time), planners are anticipating that nearly all the added capacity will be used within just a few years. Hence them starting to plan Crossrail 2 before Crossrail 1 is actually finished.
In August 2010, Google put out a blog post announcing that there were 129,864,880 books in the world.

That number actually sounds surprisingly low. In contrast, I wonder how many the underground "bookz" scene have scanned so far. It's hard to find exact numbers, but from what I could find, LibGen contains approximately 3M books, so if Google is accurate, that's ~2.3% of all books ever published. No doubt there are other sites I'm unaware of, probably in other languages, which have also accumulated massive collections of ebooks; but the fact that there exist people who have, for free and on their own time and at risk of being sued for copyright infringement, voluntarily scanned and shared over 2.3% of all the world's books is somewhat amazing.
This doesn't really do justice to the article. Decent BMI would be next big step for mankind, with applications such as practical telepathy, mind control of IoT devices, instant access to all information, huge increase of memory capacity, tapping into other people senses, and, yes, fusion with AI.

It turns out the full grammar of Python (and almost all real programming languages) is quite large; this is very early and new work in neural program synthesis, and so we chose a pretty limited DSL to make sure that we could at least solve this one before moving on to more general ones that contain state, conditionals, for-loops, etc. In theory however, we can apply the exact architecture to Python programs and see what happens. We haven't tried yet. :)
are there benchmarks also available ? may you please share them for objective comparison with other implementations. thank you!

We did some work a while ago which involved using high spatial and temporal resolution wind datasets to build optimization tools which figured out the best place to build wind farms given constraints like geographic restrictions, number of turbines, nameplate capacity, etc.
"The JIT (‘Just In Time’) byte-code compiler is now enabled by default at its level 3. This means functions will be compiled on first or second use and top-level loops will be compiled and then run. (Thanks to Tomas Kalibera for extensive work to make this possible.)"

Check out the techempower framework benchmarks. Netty can do over a million http responses per second on a reasonable machine.

On Linux it uses an epoll native driver and is asynchronous. The framework makes it possible to write proxies in a few lines.

If you want to beat netty by a significant margin you'll probably need to use kernel bypass

I had similar thoughts when I first learned React. After building several UIs with it, I think the core thing that trips devs up is that it's very easy to make things far more complicated than they need to be. Beginner resources often don't help, either. Many of the boilerplate and starter pack examples you can find online have a ridiculous level of complexity in the file folder structure, component structure, dependencies, etc. - for example, no, you don't need half a dozen components spread across as many files to render a simple header or footer.

If you try to stick to a minimalist approach, it can be a pretty convenient framework. Definitely beats trying to do the same thing the jQuery way.
Theorem solving is very closely related to program induction (we just change the grammar). Just as with Python, the underlying search space would be incredibly large, and while in theory, we could simply change the DSL and it should work, it'll probably involve a few more iterations of the model or other insights to see this to fruition (but it's definitely not impossible).

>I think that there is a lot of revisionism in the concept of "genius". Just look at the movie "Amadeus". It looks like Mozart genius is the envy of the mediocre Salieri. In fact, Salieri was an incredible composer himself.

That's not a "revisionism in the concept of "genius"" -- just a misrepresentation of Salieri (at best). A revisionism in the concept of genius would involve redefining what genius itself means. And in any case, nobody really thinks of Salieri as a big a genius as Mozart, movie or not.

>Then you have people like John Carmack. He is a figure in the game industry. But one of the best Doom ever has been developed without him.

So? John Carmac being a gaming genius or not doesn't preclude other geniuses, or other people being able to do equally good work (even less so since he already laid much of the groundwork for them for 2+ decades).

>The solitary genius creates an interesting narrative, but it is just a simplification of the reality. Too much get attributed to individuals once they achieve fame.

That's true.

EU is an extremely weak political construction if the change of president in one member country, via democratic election and staying in democratic system, nullifies the whole union.

A democratic political union must be based on stronger foundations than just having a couple of sister parties sharing the power in turns.
I agree people's mileage varies. My gut is that programming languages have generally evolved in ways that widen that variation and that the explosion in the number of people who are coding due to increased access masks much of that change.

When I saw the "light" about React, me and friend were coding our own e-commerce system each for fun. Him with Ruby and Rails and jQuery, me with Grails and React. When we implemented the shopping cart, I wrote like 200 lines of code in React that would dynamically update that shopping cart. My friend did it with just 5 lines with jQuery. Yeah most of my React code was boiler plate, but still...

> Now I know why your landlord treats you like he expects the worst from you.

I'm glad not to be a landlord. People's lives are messy and complicated, and as a landlord, you're forced to be exposed to some of that. As a tenant, I try to be quiet, leave the place like I found it, and not socialize with the owner. Rental contracts are great for drawing boundaries in what could otherwise be an extremely awkward relationship: "I don't trash your place, and you don't look into my life."
That's one manifestation of this kind of research being used in real life by programmers around the world. :)
Very nice, but this is more of a demo code for boost::asio than something that is production-worthy.

For example, it doesn't relay FINs between connections, doesn't disable Nagle algorithm on the upstream socket, doesn't wait for pending writes to complete before tearing down the connection, doesn't handle congestion at all (potentially leading to unbound memory use), etc.

A many-billion dollar, world changing industry has been exclusively constrained to one dynamically-typed, weird language cooked up by one guy in a hurry, over 20 years ago.

I'm definitely not a lover of JavaScript as a language, but it helps when you start thinking about JS as a "assembly language for the web". Very few people get worked up about whether x86 assembly language is a bad language we've for the most part moved on to a higher level of abstraction.

The same could be true for JavaScript. When I have to use JavaScript without TypeScript especially with a codebase that I'm not familiar with, it's like walking on a tightrope not knowing what you might break. You're always afraid of doing refactorimgs that would be a CTRL-K away with Resharper.

> But I guarantee that you don't treat all people exactly equally.

No, I don't, and it would be incorrect to do so. I don't treat my solicitor the same as my barista, I have different relationships with those people. But for someone I don't know, I treat everyone equally, be they rich, poor, serving me, being served by me, saying hello on the street, etc.

> How often do you leave a tip for a service person (beyond what is expected). How often do you tip your dentist, or your lawyer?

There's an enormous difference between tipping people and treating them respectfully. When I order a coffee, I don't ever shout or abuse the people that are serving me. If there's a mistake, I'll be polite and point it out. If there's still an issue at that point, I'll be a little less polite and probably not return.

When I phone my solicitor, I'm always polite. I don't shout at them, or abuse them, and if there's a mistake, I point it out. I treat everyone the way I would want to be treated if the roles were reversed.

I think the balance is not as universal as you make it out to be. As long as the employee/tenant is capable of leaving (and same with the employer/landlord), then the relationship will be equal as it is only continued to mutual benefit.
"Inside the building there is one concert hall with a large concert organ, and the whole interior has been left as it was 30 years ago, so the interior is being cared for, but it still looks like a socialist museum."

I'm in the same boat as you, but started looking a while ago when quantum computers started showing promise.

I found:

- PBS Spacetime on YouTube is awesome

- Check out the double split experiment. It seems simple, but when you think about what getting interference patterns when only sending one particle at a time really means..

- Then when ready, the quantum eraser

- Bells inequality is a simple idea that proved the strange interpretation of the double split experiment was true, rather than a more mundane interpretation
Interesting, i thought the problem was the other way around.

I find Verilog quite intuitive as is, but the tools are rather crude. I.e. until recently Altera's Quartus felt like a hack some students put together in their spare time - missing basic IDE features, interface bugs that get in the way, poor programmer support on Linux and so on.

I can't figure out if this is a joke or not. Amazing how far out some of these audiophiles are.
I'd suggest that maybe we're all looking at programming the wrong way.

Not everyone can build a decent sized building, and the people designing and managing their construction are likely also in the top intelligence quartile. But they're not necessarily the ones doing the actual construction of the thing.

In programming, there seems to me to be a refusal do the kind of delegation that occurs in construction. Instead, we've got a huge market of tools designed to reduce boilerplate and increase abstraction so that the highly intelligent programmer can get more done faster.

That's all well and good, but at the end of the day there are programming nails that need to get hammered, and its not going to matter if they're hammered by a MENSA member or not. The current mindset seems to want to deny this, and make every programming task something that must be handled by the best of the best.
Not sure if the 300 loc is really a fair comparison, as it is using ASIO (https://think-async.com/) under the covers, which is far more than 300 loc.
> And by "enhancement" I mean the SuperFX chip basically ran the game and the SNES just provided power and A/V out.

Sorta—there was no direct video out from the cartridge on the SNES (though oddly enough, there were audio out pins), so the Super FX chip had to actually generate sprites on the fly for the PPU to composite together. This resulted in unfortunate color limitations.

You can see in the debug info for Star Fox 2 that the dynamically allocated sprite count was something that they had to constantly keep track of: https://r.mprd.se/fup/up/35454-Star_Fox_2_(Japan)_(Proto)_(A...

You're conflating what I said with other social issues and the Democrats failure of messaging (and slide in to racism/sexism).

No one (at least not me) is talking about "find purpose in life outside the traditional labor culture". They should get a job and pay back that tax money!

What I'm talking about is my support for the fundamental tenants of capitalism: creative desteuction and repurposing of capital to more efficient uses. That's going to happen in America and jobs are going to go obsolete. Coal is never coming back.

I just also believe in social welfare for the same reason I put oil in my car: you need lubrication to keep parts from seizing and the whole thing blowing itself apart. Running an ICE without oil is foolish, and so is running an economy without social welfare.

UBI is just a high-grade synthetic that requires less maintenance work to function.

(It actually does more than that, as UBI serves to connect the wealth accumulation at the top with the wealth allocation at the bottom, which I would argue makes the entire system have more bang by easying the flow of wealth through the system and continuing to cycle it, which is the mechanism by which capitalism optimizes. In this sense, it's sort of like sustained fusion: you have to take part of the energy output to sustain the reaction driving the output.)
C++ 17 Networking TS is based on ASIO. It will be very interesting if netty performs better than ASIO based code for the same task.

This is exactly what people here are talking about. The $100 tip shouldn't have anything to do with you being luckier financially, it should be a gesture of appreciation. A $100 tip isn't a gesture of appreciation normally, it's a gesture of "I am more fortunate than you, but I take pity on you so here you are."
The final ruling in Authors Guild v. Google was really just a footnote to the whole saga, though. The article barely mentions it.

The article focuses on the failure of the class action settlement, due to the "perfect being the enemy of the good" (librarians and individual authors objected to the settlement because they hoped Congress would pass a law to free orphan works, but what actually happened is that no progress has been made).
Technically, nuclear is easily adjustable. Operators typically want to run nuclear at full capacity because the construction investment is a dominant part in the cost structure, i.e. you save very little of the cost if you produce less electricity, but there is no technical problem in using nuclear as adjustment power.

This a hundred times. A passive guitar or bass pickup is going to be dampened by the low pass filter which consists of the capacitance of the cable and the coil of the pickup and the input impendance of the preamp. Linesignals, or instruments with inbuilt active circuits are not affected.
It may need 100kw during certain phases of flight --take off and landing for a VTOL craft, or just take-off for a standard aircraft. Cruise power is generally far less than take off/hover power.

If the craft were entirely wirelessly powered, then of course the system would have to be able to transfer 100kw. But the link(if even 50kw were ever feasible) could be designed for a lower power level, and the aircraft could draw from an onboard battery bank for extra power during these phases of flight.

Kind of like how hybrid drive vehicles undersize the internal combustion engine and then draw power from the ICE and the electric system during heavy acceleration.

But we still need to find a reasonable way to wirelessly transmit large amounts of power safely and efficiently.
