It can happen. There are a bunch of bots that do regression tests, Fedora's Rawhide provides daily debug builds of the kernel with merges in-between the rc's, so there are are some real humans also using the kernel through its development. If you check the 4.11.1 changelog as an example you can see the kinds of things that can crop up. Fedora current releases tend to rebase around x.y.2. So you could use that as a way to weigh your kernel conservatism.
We're always kind of hiring. Depends if you've got a PhD in stats or some machine learning heavy field, can code a bit and want to work in London.
You can always edit the classfile in Emacs :-)
Another explanation, possibly unrelated to the slides:

It's hubris to (a) know the universe is probably infinite and (b) assume that life evolved anywhere within our slice of it.

Infinite! The universe seems to be infinite. If that's true, it seems just as likely that all intelligent life in the universe is completely alone.
Interesting. Recently I read the 180% number. And that should apply to importing a US car. Yup, I didn't keep a reference.

And the reference neglected to mention that buying cars within the EU would have no import fee.

Ask HN: What API provider do you use to take e-checks?
Using PHP as development language. Both individual and subscriptions. I already use Stripe to handle credit cards. I don't want to use Stripe for ACH as it appears there is a $500 / month fee.
Metzinger is not against creation of AI in general, but against creation of conscious AI.
The argument is indeed very anthropomorphic, though this may be useful to avoid human tendency to deny machines even a possibility of having a conscious experience.
If anything, I would be more critical of its appeal to emotion than anthropomorphism.

Argument about conscious Google spam is quite unfair and unwarranted.
In fact, if you actually consider what Metzinger has to say about necessary conditions for consciousness (for example in "Being No One" or "The Ego Tunnel"), then obviously Google spam is nothing like that.

Either way it seems to me that it may be better to err on the side of not making conscious AI in the first place rather than unintentionally making one with capacity to suffer.
Especially that it may be non-obvious that it has capacity to experience pain.
For example, we have already made this mistake by using curare alone as an anesthetic - presuming that a lack of automatic pain response, and ability to communicate feeling of pain means that one doesn't feel pain.
That was a considerable misjudgment.
Cool page! It would be really great to have the code shipped in a single file so that people can use it!

Could Hackers Use Your Brainwaves to Steal Your Passwords?
I can imagine a future where bitcoin plays a role similar to what gold does now. This would not require much scaling - it would be about few, but high value transactions. But yeah - more probably it will be replaced by something else that would have less costs (i.e. POS, https://medium.com/@zby/proof-of-work-8d8265def194 ), and/or scale. This is the gamble in cryptos investing now - it is conceivable that in the long run some crypto will be worth much - but you don't know which one. Maybe Etherium, which showed it can change rapidly, will do this, but most probably this will be something new. Maybe EOS or Tezos - but they are too much hype machines - this does not fit good development.

Why should they stop trading because the price is falling? With multiple exchanges it doesn't make sense, if there was a huge fall in price across all exchanges and some stopped and others didn't then what?
So basically, a corporation bought a company they had no idea how to run, ran it into the ground pursuing monetization that worked elsewhere (kind of). This sounds like every acquisition between 97 and 05.

I wonder how many great products were destroyed by the big corporations attempting to fit a square peg in a round hole, and failing every time?

This is an open invitation to break programs. It's so cool. I always, compulsively, accept those kind of invitations. I, like most people here, keep breaking eclipse and then rebuilding it to see what happens. Unfortunately the industry often tends to go right the opposite way. That's why they keep sending us off to very expensive trainings and buying licenses on tools we cannot break by ourselves.
If you need user authentication use django. If it's for APIs use flask or gRPC.

No, actually surprisingly few things are "an event" in New York. Even stuff as major as the NYE Times Square Ball Drop are completely ignorable in most of the city if you turn off the TV.

Earthquakes, though, are rare. And if you haven't felt one before, kind of a crazy novelty.
Usually, by crashing or exhibiting bugs and misbehavior.

> In the diff department, 4.12 is also very big, although the reason there isn't just that there's a lot of development, we have the added bulk of a lot of new header files for the AMD Vega support

Yeah and if you use Playskool hammers, you'll never break a thumb again either. That doesn't make Playskool hammers better than regular ones.
I think the Rust example isn't quite fair, as the Pony and Java examples you give are for types, not functions. The Rust equivalent would be `struct Foo<T>`, which I think is as clear as the Pony example.
Zeros are far more efficient and much faster to generate.

Not sure why some have downvoted me. It's easy to verify.

> As well refusing to keep up with 'modern' technologies and paradigms

I don't know if in the situations you've observed or participated in the primary argument was about the "modern" nature of the technology choices in question, but as far as I've been able to tell, often when someone employs it as a descriptor, it's a sign that you need to probe carefully to figure out if there's any "there" there. Often enough the person doesn't know how to assign it any other merit than it was recently created. Which can be another way of saying "fashionable."

That might not be the only merit a technology that makes that claim has, but I tend to find it's more likely that there are other merits the less visibility the term modern has in the discussion surrounding it.

> because "that's not how I'm used to doing it".

Here's a question: if you already know a way of doing something that will meet project requirements... why spend time investing in another way of doing the same thing?

One of my guidelines is to prefer learning things that expand my capabilities over learning things that retread existing ones.

That's a more finely articulated proposition than "that's not how I'm used to doing it", but I wouldn't be surprised if they had a large degree of overlap.

(Also, my observation has been "that's not how I'm used to doing it" is an argument employed across age ranges without discrimination.)
First you it's spelled "Ethereum" not "Etherium".

What are your thoughts on people not respecting Intellectual Property rights? Will it lead us down a path of gridlock where nobody is going to create anything new for fear of someone else using their work without payment/credit? Also, why is using someones creative output or deriving from it OK in some fields (like applied sciences) but not in others? (Here I'm not including the people who claim others' work as their own, merely people who clone)
> "ABET says you should take it, so yes, in the U.S. it's required"

OK so I should have said "Is a required course in a large number of US universities."

> and the only reason why ABET is involved in this discussion is marketing, as some people really want to pretend that programming is just another engineering discipline, when really it is a craft, and others on the certifying side really want those fees.

Students want some assurances that their department has an external body maintaining quality standards. For large research universities, less of a problem, "Do findings from the department make front page news?" is a pretty good qualifier.

I had a friend of mine in a non-ABET program who was upset that his degree didn't even require math beyond basic trig, arguments about calculus in CS programs aside, hiring companies knew that CS degrees from my friend's University didn't come with the same level of math and science as CS degrees from other universities.

Of course this entire thread is about the lack of ethics courses in CS programs, and ABET requires ethics in the curriculum. At some point ABET can't be called completely useless, since they are imposing onto CS programs a class that people seem to generally agree should be present.
Yes, he meant specifically for ICO advisory positions. Certainly (like almost every other developer) he has been paid for contract work/consulting for some project at some point.
