Aww. But I already had my scalpels out for DIY inner ear surgery. I just finished watching the YouTube howto and everything... :(
"- Soil variability. Very different techniques are required for different soils. Sometimes the soil has to be "conditioned", adding something to make it solid enough it can be drilled through.[1] This is the biggest practical problem in tunneling. Too much water is the usual problem."

The Linux kernel could do way more damage than any flying car implementation if it failed spectacularly. Besides, it is well established that open source code is safer. If there is anywhere those safety benefits are definitely needed, it would be flying cars.
And you're trusting someone else to make that decision.
That is an excellent analogy.

I agree. I couldn't be less interested in owning a car. But in the US unless you live in certain few cities, you can't really do without one. And those cities are very expensive.
Would it be possible to detect the focal distance of the eye and change the entire focal depth of the display to keep it always in focus, similar to automated vision testing devices? It could then perform blurring of out of focus objects as a rendering step.

Let's say OP decides to play unfriendly hard ball and hold on to his 33% of shares. Could the remaining two partners force through a new allocation of shares, vesting over time but only to active members, which would dilute OP to near zero?

I am asking about who gets to decide what is considered fair dilution. Assuming good will on all sides, I like the idea of your suggestion. Assuming non-cooperation, I am wondering what the worst case could be for OP.
FDE: Frame Description Entry, CIE: Common Information Entry. AFAIR, they're used to unwind the stack in exceptions.

I think it's specified by itanium C++ ABI (which sounds archaic but actually many other processors use the same one).

I don't recall if these things are ELF features or if the ELF only knows about the "eh_frame" section. It's interesting and kinda sorta related low-level stuff IMO.
I had this happen to me in real life, back as a broke college student. The difference is the number of transactions you get hit with the overdraft fee for.

Consider a bank account with $20 in it, the day before payday, when you forget your World of Warcraft subscription hits today instead of tomorrow. That's $15. But you buy:

* Lunch: $5
* Coffee: $2
* Dinner: $5
* A late-night snack: $5

Then, the subscription hits at midnight.

If the transactions happened in-order, the subscription causes the overdraft, and you're charged $25 or whatever (yeah they are very high). But in the way banks used to do it, they'd take your total ledger for the day, and order it by highest $ first. So, subscription first, $5 left. Lunch, $0 left. Coffee, dinner, and snack are three transactions when overdrawn, so that's $25 * 3 = $75 in fees instead.

Banks claimed that this process was because you'd probably want your highest-amounts paid first, as it'd be something like rent money. In the end, it means way more fees for them, though.

$75 in fees is especially brutal when you don't have much money in the first place; it pretty much caused me to not be able to even go to 7-11 for a candy bar for two months.

Manufacturing is such an iconic aspect of the economy that every government or policy maker loves to talk about it and show progress in it. India has unnecessary incentives put in place for manufacturing and Apple is taking advantage of it. But overall it's a bad deal for India.
IMHO, the anxiety is well-placed. I did my first CSci homeworks on punchcards. FORTRAN was a teaching language in those days. The reason I am still relevant as a developer is that over the years I have learned to recognize progress when I see it. (Why am I the one dragging 30-year-old-luddites into the world of Python 3.x???? 2.7 is history. But I digress....)

Back on point... this is one of those times in my career when I have to say "This changes everything." ML changes everything. How we formulate problems, how we architect solutions, how we program solutions.

For practical advice: I started the Udacity self-driving car Nano-degree. (I won't be finishing it, but that is another story.) The first term is pretty much all ML. I found the Udacity course exactly what I needed to get a practical, hands-on intro and ramp-up to the current world of ML. I'm no expert, but I now at least recognize the vocabulary, have rubbed my brain cells against a few simple ML problems, and can move forward and learn more. Udacity also has a ML nano-degree. YMMV.

I'm a Signal user and hugely appreciate their push to bring encryption to the masses.

But when it comes to the government, I believe the ideal situation is that there is a literal live-stream of everything they are doing, at all times. Government officials are public servants. Sure, if you're discussing an ongoing military operation, keep it behind closed doors temporarily. But the vast majority of what they're doing should be made accessible to the public in real-time.

The only reason not to do so is to hide lobbyism, partisanship, and corruption from the public eye.

I work for a large semiconductor manufacturer. In our R&D operations we require a large volume of newly designed parts to be purchased from suppliers. These parts are not off the shelf but are all custom created by us. Once a design is approved we try to get them into the lab the fastest way possible so the earlier we can get the designs quoted with a supplier, the better.

I use machine learning to predict if a newly designed part will have to be purchased soon to go in the lab. That prediction saves me about 3 weeks of lead time to get it to a supplier. Before machine learning, the first time the purchasing department knew that it will need to be purchased is when the designer filled out a form. Now they know as soon as he submits his design and can get a head start.

I feel like writers of such a study have spent exactly 0 days in rural America (which is a very, very large portion of America.)

How much does it cost to replace the gasoline infrastructure with charging in North Dakota?

How many people living in rural America, driving gasoline trucks and using them on the job are going to "suddenly stop driving them", pay to get rid of them, and switch to an all-electric truck? And who is covering the costs of blanketing those rural areas with charging stations that are fast enough to remove the pain of waiting to charge a truck that needs enough power to haul a fifth wheel?
I wish, if not 2030 at least 2040, this report is one extreme. The other extreme are reports published by Oil industries that predict 10% EV penetration even around 2030 or 2040 which are laughable as well given how much tech changed in just 5 years

Sure, let's learn from the past: let's make sure there is a monopoly behind flying cars. It will be nice when you will be flying your family on a Sunday afternoon and suddenly you will have to choose between up(?)grading to FlyingCars 10.0 (a.k.a. RustyBikeWithDoors) or paying your house's worth in ransom to get the privilege of landing safely one more time.
As a guy who's going into ML, I'm worried about AI and products like DataRobot clobbering the market for data scientists. DataRobot gets glowing reviews for automating the setup of dozens of ML models, replacing weeks of effort by teams of ML specialists. It's very expensive though.

Sure, but the sentiment in this entire discussion is how unreliable googles paid for service is (never mind their free stuff - have you ever tried to get support from google for gmail or other feee service? From what I've heard it's like talking to a wall). I'd rather pay for good service than get unknown service for free.
Thanks, did they? I missed that! The spec pages still say:

15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors

-- and lists a number of supported "scaled" resolutions.

I wonder why they made this move... People asking them for more real estate? Haven't gotten my MBPr yet, is the scaled resolutions workable?

I would say he should stick to 12%. It's derived from an industry standard. VCs who have a problem with this are, pardon my french, greedy assholes.
GitHub has REST and GraphQL APIs you can use to export that data. It would be great if there were more standards for issue tracking/code reviews that worked better across vendors, but GitHub is neither the best nor the worst in this regard.

Perhaps I need a history lesson, but I don't think the kernel developers 25 years ago had any idea that some kid would be learning C through the code they wrote.

I also doubt the engineers at Texas Instruments thought that enabling programs on my TI-84 would spawn my or many others' passion for programming. It was simply coincidence paired with curiosity.

I think curious children of the right mindset will find the opportunity to learn whether we intentionally pursue it or not. In fact, by planning out learning environments for those kids we might be doing them a disservice by structuring their learning towards what WE think is important at a particular moment in time.

But sure, flying car software should be open source.

Well sure but nowadays you can do that with virtual boxes and whatnot. Much more convenient. Remember that build your own linux post from not to long ago? Following those instructions I not only built linux from scratch with custom compiled libc and busybox. Sure I did that when I was 16 or 17, but in those days the same work would have taken me days not hours. And if you want to teach people, you can easily record what is going on on the screen. So you definitely you should do that but with modern tooling. Both for your own sanity and for better outreach!
I don't see what you're getting at. That matches exactly the "not holding up their end" that I mentioned. What's the problem?

>I take your point, but this is not entirely true in this case. Cinema is less than 150 years old, and not long before that most people could not read.

Most people didn't make laws and force social norms either though. The "educated" classes that did had theater and other kinds of public shows (music, etc) since at least the time of Ancient Greece, and those did have certain codes about what is to be said and what shouldn't be said.

They also had special "adult" shows.

> We've rebuilt GitHub Desktop from the ground up in Electron to create a simplified user experience focused squarely on how you use GitHub

Would be really interested to see some benchmarks comparing the performance of the Electron version and the previous version. Start-up time, time to perform common actions etc.

Personally I think it's a bit of a shame, since I seem to remember the previous version making use of the platform's native toolkits and widgets, e.g. WPF on Windows and Cocoa on Mac. I suspect the overall UX will now suffer. I guess it's easier to develop though, and works on Linux now?

Edit: Oh, there's still no build for Linux.

They do detail some of the reasoning (https://githubengineering.com/how-four-native-developers-wro...) behind this decision in the GitHub engineering blog and it looks like they've put a lot of work into this. But even the menu bar they've come up with (https://github.com/desktop/desktop/pull/991?) for Windows is obviously not native. The decision seems to boil down to (paraphrasing) "lots of people are doing web stuff" and "now we can reuse our code" ... which is fine, but again seemingly prioritises the development over the user experience.
I'm a person (software engineer) who knows some ML and I tell this to my coworkers when they express similar sentiments: If you're worried about ML taking your job then you're not thinking straight. If the world has automated to the degree where programmers are non longer needed in 3 or 10 years then you will definitely have other things to worry about. Truckers, farmers, taxis, cops, and construction crews will likely all be automated before programmers are, and when that happens it will cause a huge global crisis and leave millions unemployed. Programmers will be sometime later when we figure out general AI.

Alternative scenario: loss of jobs to automation and inadequate social safety net cause social unrest and communist revolution. We've seen this kind of thing before.

In short: if you're looking at Hacker News then doing ML is likely irrelevant.
Suppose your dataset consists of the following points.

(1,5)

(2,3)

(3,10)

(4,4)

Clearly there's really not a linear relationship between the first coordinate and the second coordinate. In other words, if you plot these four points and try to approximate them with a single line in the plane, you just can't do a very good job.

The person's manager suggested sorting the second coordinates in this list while keeping the first coordinates fixed, resulting in the following:

(1,3)

(2,4)

(3,5)

(4,10)

These points are still not collinear, but they certainly can be better approximated by a line than before. The problem is that this is simply a completely different set of points, so a linear approximation here implies nothing about the original dataset.
I imagine only training on genuine visitors would be tricky with any traditional classification approach. Even having a 90/10% split of positive/negative training data is difficult since a lot of classifiers will just degrade to a majority vote.

Maybe a Restricted Boltzmann Machine or something similar?

I hear this argument all the time and it makes no sense to me. If I hire somebody to put my Ikea furniture together, I'm not disappointed to learn they're not a skilled carpenter. When I hire a children's entertainer, I'd be surprised to learn they were an extremely talented musician.

There are people out there who know how everything works under the hood, and that's great. But they're typically expensive and unavailable.

If I can hire someone within my budget to build something that solves my problem, why is that a bad thing? And if I can build something for someone that gives them value, again, why is that a bad thing? It just sounds like snobbery to me.

Well, yes, until you are stumbled upon something that is not really working as you may expect and then you need to find out why... ML, without understanding the math can be a very strange place to roam around. I will suggest wrapping your head around basic math at least. The first chapter of the deep learning book is very nice in fact if you want to do this. http://www.deeplearningbook.org/
There is if you want to stop people from messing with things, exposing things you don't want the public to know, etc.

I think that a simple supposition that Snowden intended to defect to Russia from the beginning explains everything that has happened.

>I mean, you complain that he didn't outright challenge Putin in a live broadcast.

He didn't have to participiate in this circus show at all. Nobody would bat an eye if he didn't appear there. It was his conscious decision to participiate in Putin's PR campaign.

Also, you seem to be under an assumption that I'm an American citizen and I'm just mad about Snowden obviously betraying his home country. That's where you're wrong, because I'm actually a Russian citizen and want Snowden to gtfo for various reasons, some of which I already stated.

As I've said I don't know how many times before in these threads: This doesn't take into account, not even rural areas, but areas that are simply not metropolitan cities. The idea of vehicles-on-demand out here where I live, where I still commute between farmers fields, is utterly laughable. Who on Earth is going to buy them and operate them? And where is everyone going to warrant the service?

More to the point, when you're doing things with your vehicles that don't involve just moving from A to B with a laptop case, the idea of sharing vehicles gets a little more complicated. A good 4/5 of my friends have done some kind of modification to their cars, not adding spoilers or that nonsense, but changing how they work to do a job better than they did before. Add to it other tasks like towing equipment, pulling other vehicles loose from mud, plowing snow, on and on and this idea that no-emissions EV's are going to replace all of this is frankly stupid and shows once again the disconnect between a whole LOT of the US alone and I'd imagine elsewhere and the cities.

I'm not saying gas is forever, it is obviously going away and you'd be stupid to say otherwise. But to say that because Tesla and Chevrolet has made an admittedly perfectly good and arguably attractive alternative to the compact runabout used by a lot of city dwellers who hate driving anyway means that all gas powered cars are going away is fucking absurd. The only EV I know of capable of towing ANYTHING is the Tesla Model X, and even then it's towing capabilities have gotten extremely mixed reviews, ranging from complaints about the range absolutely plummeting when anything of substance is being moved, to the vehicle not handling the strain on the rear axle well.

I know I'm in the minority here on HN not living in a huge city with infrastructure aplenty who's ready to bail on cars forever, but seriously, there is so much ground to cover yet for EVs.

People have been doing that to cars for years, and if you have an object weighing a ton or so moving at 50 km/h, we're dealing with 16 Mega Joule already so hacking cars should not be that different.
