Siri vs Google assistant. Google assistant being way better in understanding voice and performing tasks. I've used both iPhone and Pixel and I can confirm that Google assistant is way more smart and intelligent than Siri at this point.
Can these AGESA firmware updates (or board specific firmware upgrades incorporating the AGESA update) be installed from Linux? Is there a standard UEFI method for it?

Edit: looks like you can do it inside the firmware GUI, no OS is required. You can update over the net, or load update files from USB stick.

I've actually found it to be better; no tradeoffs.

I haven't tried cash back as I use credit cards rather than debit cards. I've used Apple Pay in the US, Canada, NZ, Australia, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark, and it's ALWAYS preferably to using the actual card, particularly for an American.

If you have a US based bank, even with EMV the bank prefers a signature, which means you have to sign the damn receipt. This is more inconvenient than doing so in the US because:

1. The merchants aren't used to it, so it's a surprise/hurdle
2. It's not common, so you have to sign an actual receipt, not an electric display
3. They don't seem to waive the signature requirement for small purchases ($25-$50) as they do in the US. So you're signing for EVERYTHING.

Magically, if you try to use your US-card-with-a-PIN (assuming you set one up) in an unmanned scenario like in a parking garage, SUDDENLY YOUR PIN WORKS! (quelle surprise!)

I also fell in love with the convenience of Apple Pay+Watch when I was skiing in Whistler; no need to take off my gloves, unzip a pocket, reach in, find, card, use card, sign receipt. Just a quick double-tap on the side button without even undoing my glove gauntlet, velcro closure around the wrist of my jacket, or any of my 5 layers of clothes (yes, it was cold).

Paywave was the most-commonly accepted in Australia of everywhere I've been recently, to the extent that they even tap your credit card to the machine first, assuming it will work, and are surprised when it doesn't. Yet they were VERY surprised by the watch, often saying they had never seen anyone use their watch before. I'm not sure if contactless+phone would have been as unexpected or not; I never tried.

It's not just that. GP's analogy would only make sense if one of your neighbors was a superintelligent alien whose larger motives are hidden from you, whose livelihood lies in having an intimate understanding of your psychology and how to manipulate you, and who never misses any detail or forgets anything. Ever. It's fucking creepy.
That is part of what allows Go to have those advantages, but it is those advantages that give Go an edge, not the corporate backing directly, in my opinion.
In principle yes, in practice Facebook does not follow the EU laws. For example, they are required to provide you with all the data they hold about you. I requested this data (shadow profile) from them multiple times, they never responded. The next step would be to contact the Irish authorities responsible for overseeing FB, but from what I read they don't process complaints against FB, and the next place would be some EU court to force them to do their job.
You can of course take notes out of the box with a more informatively named program. I'm sure there are apps with weird names in the iPhone app store as well.
That is mostly correct. A few corrections/additions:

* It's either the Compute Module 3 or the older (cheaper, slower) Compute Module 1.

* The schematics of the base board in the RevPi Core are open source:
https://revolution.kunbus.de/download/1803/

* Normally you wouldn't open the RevPi Core case and solder stuff to the base board, though you're given all the information you need if want to do so. The expected use is to just mount the RevPi Core on a top hat rail and extend it with I/O or gateway modules via the PiBridge connector.
I've been thinking about this. Having to prevent being observed is not without cost and many time is inconvenience and annoying. Why do I even need the door closed in the first place ? Because other people will I think I'm weird ? Is it cultural thing? Why do I have to feel embarrassed/ashamed when people see me in the bathroom ? What if as the society changes to become more open, the more people leave the door open, the more it become the norm, then I don't even need to care anymore whether the door is open or close when I'm using the bathroom.

That's still plenty to spot major differences between the stylus-based PalmOS paradigm and modern touch-based smartphone interaction. There's a drop down menu on that PalmOS home screen, and the app launcher has to be scrolled by interacting with the scrollbar on the edge of the screen (or using the hardware scroll buttons). Looking at a screenshot of one of the applications would show even bigger differences. Really, the similarities don't go much further than a tile-based launcher and a status bar at the top of the screen. The PalmOS UI had more in common with the Newton UI than iOS.

The TL;DR is that the products have gone through all the testing required by EN61131-2 and you can safely deploy them in harsh environments (e.g. wrt electromagnetic radiation or vibrations/shocks). However there is no external certification.
That's great to hear!

Reliability sure was tough in those days. npm wasn't secondary or tertiary or any-ary to Joyent. It was my nights and weekends project the whole time I was there, and IrisCouch generously donated infrastructure, which we pushed to its very limit once Nodejitsu acquired them.
Hi there. I'm an engineer on the Revolution Pi team. AMA.

I saw that you mentioned running Hadoop/Spark on your cluster? Do you have any comments on that? I just made a 3 node RPi3 cluster and I have to admit, it's really slow. Like getting the spark Scala interpreter running takes about a minute before anything I type registers in the console. (NOte: this is my own cluster not a PicoCluster TM)
Because you don't get a big valuation without the appearance of being big.
Believe them both.

Apple is investing massively into AI and is using it in their products. However, Google has been working with AI longer and has much more experience. (The article praises Amazon's AI chops as well, I dunno about that one.)
It wasn't $17 if you subscribed for $10/mo as I did. It was more like 11-13. For a meal that arrived within 15 minutes of ordering it, it rocked when I was coming home tired or from practice.
I love Screensavers, and I still have them enabled on my machines. Typically, the screensaver kicks in about 10 minutes in, and the machine sleeps properly about 20-30 minutes in. Laptops on battery power are the only time I forgo them; choosing to go direct to sleep modes 5-10 minutes in.

I have (like many of us) written fun some Screensavers in my time. My current stock one is actually boring - it's a Windows 8/10 style clock and date (think the one on the lock screen) in white lettering, that floats around on a black screen. Simple but useful.

In the past I've written fractal based one, game of life ones, youtube streaming ones, ISS live camera ones (they've since locked out direct access to the feed - boo). I've wanted to write one that plays recorded footage of all the flight paths in World of Warcraft - like a virtual DroneCam - but I never seem to find the time to record the footage...

Screensavers are a lost art form, and I totally agree with the article.

As an aside, how many of us used to get annoyed when people said 'I've got that picture as my screensaver' when you know they mean 'I've got that picture as my wallpaper'? Grrr.
We haven't even got to the hardest questions yet because driverless cars are still so far away.

Think of a situation where you have to choose from either hitting an other car killing everyone inside it but saving you, or driving off the road killing you but saving everyone. Well, we all save ourselves if we can choose (timing, etc). But what if the other car has 5 passengers and you are alone?

The driverless car will be required to kill you, the driver. In future the car will know, and take away your control, and simply kill you.

When people realize this, and the legislation has to take a stance, there will be a major backlash against driverless cars. People are basically selfish.
Update: I mean blend mode
You're so close to what I am currently building that I feel like I have to chime in. I left Apple's security team a few months ago to go solo and build an app that is similar to Facebook/Instagram and Snapchat in terms of functionality and UX but uses the Olm protocol (similar to Signal) to protect all content. So, fear not - something is being done, and I'm sure I'm not the only one working in this problem space. I think it's ripe for innovation, counter to popular belief; the trick is to do it in a way that doesn't require a PhD in computers to operate the damn thing, as was the issue with previous attempts.
> The way I see it is an over clock is only stable if it can run the same applications as a stock clocked chip could at full bore for the same time periods.

AVX has been on a separate clock/offset for a while now, and many OC'ing motherboards will let you tweak it.

Given how much power AVX consumes I wouldn't be surprised if throttling it even let you clock the rest of the core higher.

> run prime95 small FFTs albeit at 90C for 24 hours with no issues then your OC should as well

That's nice in theory but in practice if it's gonna crash it's gonna do it quick. I doubt many CPUs are suddenly erroring out for the first time at 23 hours. So why not just test for an hour and call it good? An hour of super abnormally high stress is more than enough to validate it for standard usage in my opinion. More than OK at 30 minutes too. Usually fails within the first 5 seconds, if you make it to 1 min then you have a very solid chance of making it the whole way. 30-60m is plenty.

If your data assurance requirements exceed one "proof test" shot[0], so to speak, then you have no business using overclocked CPUs at all. Prime95 SmallFFT is way way more stress than you would ever put a CPU under in any real-world load, and like an overpressured proof shot it's not really the best thing in the world for the processor to do this nonstop. Electromigration is a thing that exists.

You would be more like Facebook, if you 1) would publish your observations or otherwise provide it to third parties 2) sit at nearly all streets all the time, e.g., observing whatever those house guests are up to the rest of their time.

Imagine, you share your observations with, say, a PI who was hired by a paranoid spouse or by someone's employer.

Facebook is like a vast and far reaching network of nosy neighbours of whom you do not know who they are chatty with. Maybe someone who likes to jump to conclusions?
I don't know why you think this is astonishing. Google spends way more than that on Chrome, for what it's worth.

Anyway, $400 million a year, if you spend it all on developers (salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, desks, monitors, etc) gets you at most 2000 people in the US. And that's if you really stretch things, honestly.

That assumes you don't need a continuous integration infrastructure (which is actually a pretty large cost in practice). And that you don't need legal, payroll, marketing. Or any project management or management at all. And that you're not doing any documentation or anything like that.

In practice, Mozilla has a bit over 1000 employees and isn't spending all its revenue (so pays taxes on whatever it doesn't spend, and saves what's left).
No, it's entirely independent, unless you count PostgreSQL as the common bit.
It's quite crude, since all I needed was the current branch name and the hash. git internally does a bunch of cache warming and verification that make it slower, so I just don't do that. The code is in my dotfiles[1].

When all 4 cores are under load, the BCM2837 on the Raspberry Pi 3 will rapidly reduce the clock rate after about 60 seconds (from 1.2 GHz to 600 MHz, or even 300 MHz if the core temperature exceeds 85 degrees Celsius). Cooling is required if you want decent performance for prolonged periods of time.

The RevPi Core 3 is equipped with a high performance cooler which is able to sustain 1.2 GHz at full load for about 20 minutes (at room temperature). After that the clock rate will be moderately reduced to 1.15 GHz.
Ok, so this was just a silly rant.

How to Reduce Latency on Public Clouds
Indeed! First thing the executables generated by my early DOS compilers did was to set up the es: and ds: segments in order to get more space.

Eventually I overcame laziness though, and started to study the EXE file format, which, AFAIR, does not have a "loader", (as Shorel suggested) but just a header describing the layout of the file. I think EXE files tend to be larger, just because they can be larger.

Whenever I try to understand a program, I do draw structures of it. But it is NEVER the structure of the source code as is, but some parts the main flow with the unimportant bits left out (what is unimportant depends on the goal of the task at hand), mapped in some way that aligns with the goal of the investigation. It also has to include the runtime components, eg. objects, not classes.

I tried to use tools like Enterprise Architect in the past but failed to produce anything useful with them (that includes architecture diagrams - charts based on standards never seem to be fit for what I actually wanted to communicate).

The closest I ever got to usefulness was with database structures, we did manage to generate the actual production schema from ERwin for a SQL database at one place I worked, but of course, not the stored procedures.
General observation: Social Justice Warriors must've moved in having taken over FOSS, atheism and feminism to rid the world of cool. This is what happens when a site or social group, any site, gets too popular: the various uncool, socially-inept cry-bullies take over. The cool kids long since moved on before inevitable social entropy happens. It can happen on the workplace side of startups too.

Losers bring drama. Then communities need more and more managers to settle disputes, more and more policies and everyone's walking around on eggshells to not offend the offended... users thinking: why am I even using this lame app? Someone else builds a similar app and it's in still in "cool mode," so people try that, but it too repeats the inevitable cycle by not learning from history.

Recipe to stay cool: Don't get too popular, invite only cool people with some sort of accountability and stay small. This is often at odds with investors and founders whom are in it for "Margaritas on a beach with no salt" money.

Maybe for a kinky shit social network, it oughta be a community nonprofit or something that isn't going to change with the whims of investors, credit card processors or corporate advertisers. There's this miraculous new cryptocurrency called Bitcoin.

Because before you can see a color, you have to compute it. For example, you need to calculate what color would result from the interaction of a light source of a given color / intensity and a surface of a given color / reflectivity / glossiness etc. There's no way to reasonably compute that using just 8-bit ints without getting terrible banding / quantization artifacts.

I do think that credit card websites should implement card checksum, and what type of card it is (rather than asking you), if possible. I understand your points, but they do not change the fact that in this case a full server page refresh, possibly over a very slow/intermittent network, only to tell them something they could have been told instantly, is a poor user experience. Bad implementation, keeping in sync, or lacking server side validation, are bad developer practices just like having some of the page impossible to see without JavaScript. I think it is important to note that whilst my site works perfectly without any JavaScript, I am also a fan of using it where it helps the user.
The solution to this problem is quite simple: the car should slow down _before_ it can get to a situation like this. For this situation to happen the other car must do something stupid, which should be detected before it can cause something that can kill anybody.

And he understood that while visiting the Tuamotu islands, where natives lived very differently than we do. Corruption in a monetary system is exacerbated. It's so easy to pay off someone that it became normal.

We do know how to reduce conflict. But we don't want to. Every country has interests to keep one of the factions involved in power. How can the conflict terminate if one country gives weapons to a faction while another bombs them?
