The new Audi A8 has a haptic feedback touchscreen.

Anyway I'm with you on this. There's a touchscreen in my car and only with some clever finger placing can I tell which part I'm touching. Fortunately I still have physical steering wheel buttons.
Please note that my comment carefully articulates the perception of systemd, without commitment to it being the reality. I actually like systemd, and don't care whether it's "monolithic" or not.

No one is suggesting that Brisbane should be paved and turned into Manhattan. People are asking Brisbane to approve development in some fallow fields. Brisbane residents (like many of the small towns in the Bay) benefit financially from office space, but pass the buck on housing those employees to other municipalities.
I think you might be missing the point.

I'm not saying that the piece itself is unbiased. Opinion pieces are not supposed to be unbiased.

>Really? Seat belts without airbags are dangerous. At best you risk smashing your face on something hard, at worst, you're looking at orthopedic decapitation in relatively minor accidents.

have no idea why are you saying that. Probably you just _think_ so, and you've probably never been in a "relatively minor" accident, let alone in the accident where the car flies off the road and violently turns in every possible direction while flying and skidding upon landing. I was. Thanks God and Federal regulation authority for the seat belts mandate. Fixed by the seat belts it was like the scariest, very high-G, twists and turns, amusement park ride. Without the seat belts even the survival in that situation would hardly be possible, let alone avoiding heavy traumas and disability. The airbags didn't deploy for whatever reason.

Email Authentication Failure
In Canada we seem to have de-facto criminalization for possession for personal use. The problem we have now is that 80% of heroin is laced with fentanyl (at least in Vancouver), and it's causing a huge overdose problem. Even cocaine and MDMA is now sometimes cut with fentanyl.

Not sure what the solution is, but perhaps a combination of stronger penalties for dealers, more resources for treating addiction, and legalising weed.

Elixir/Phoenix, Clojure/Luminus, ClojureScript/Macchiato and Scala/Play are arguably better than Rails if you really grok FP but they don't have the community, maturity and adoption that Rails has enjoyed for a long time. If you're ok with OO monoliths Rails is hard to beat.
I'm a very novice user, so I don't know the answer to your (1) or (3). I'm fairly certain that I've done (2) though. IIRC the main trick was switching to the Kramdown parser, as recommended here: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/extras/

Hmm. I went through the thread and could not find an answer to the question - why? Using platform's default compiler would be the safest thing to do and MS is making good progress with VC as far as adding standards support goes. They have been receptive of bug reports and relatively quick at fixing them too as far as I remember. Switching to clang also takes away the nice VS IDE based debugging experience [turns out it doesn't, I misread the post as saying you can still compile and debug with VS].

So what is Chromium gaining from switching to clang-cl? Perhaps just less amount of compiler specific code/hacks/quirks/workarounds etc?

Edit: This being Google I was expecting interesting data or at least somewhat thorough reasoning. The post just felt like a fyi for switching to clang. Nonetheless some good possible reasons in below replies.

That's not how things have generally worked out in the world. Billions live in abject poverty even although the world has plenty enough to feed them and provide shelter.

The issue is income distribution - and just making more money doesn't magically fix the problem.
Why do you think that is relevant to anything since it's not what actually happened? It seems like you want all the content of every article shoehorned into the few words of the headline. That's not going to happen.
The Russians Were Involved but It Wasnt About Collusion
My point is that the statement literally isn't truthful in any meaningful way, only symbolically at best -- so it's ironic to make it the centerpiece of a blog post about "honesty".
You've got a point there.

I think one of the main things is that people stopped being considered criminals to being considered "sick" - they have addiction, they need help, so they require health care.

If the police catches you with weed - you'll need to go psychological counseling for example.
I think the issue as it stands is that the current residents have only 2 options:

A.) Approve high density housing and then see the value of their current house drop (and rental income drop if they are landlords) and their schools, grocery stores, parks, open space, parking, favorite restaurants, fitness centers and traffic become all be super crowded

B.) Approve high density office and then see the value of their current house skyrocket, see additional community benefits from developer concessions and no impact to their current community amenities.

What happens if the developer proposed a third option of profit sharing so the current residents each benefit as individuals:

C.) Build high density housing and high density office and give a significant share of the profits to the existing residents. For 4400 units, the profits could easily be in the $500M to $1B range. With only ~2350 (4700/2) households, profit sharing of $50 to $100K per household would be $120M to $235M. That could be a nice down payment for a house in the Central Valley if they want to have that small town feel. Profit sharing on the annual office rent could also provide some UBI income for the residents and keep apartment rents stable.

This seems a little dramatic. I mean you can still choose from dozens of other mp3 players.

It's probably not worth Apple's time to focus on such a niche market, but there are still plenty of other players in the space.

Silicon Valley Censorship
Hi Bronco, a blog post on microphone will come soon on our blog, subscribe!
I have the intuition that, given a specific "dangerous" goal (i.e., paperclip maximization), AGI will have too much autonomy to stick to it and AI won't have enough autonomy to make it happen.

I believe that the fear of AI is unfounded.
We want to open-source the platform later this year, you don't need an internet connection to use the platform so you can trust us!
Yes, watch works standalone; you need an iPhone to fill up the music though.
Thanks, this is coming soon!
Using fewer compilers has obvious benefits to the software development and production process. E.g. no need to fix code when a checkin from developer on Platform X breaks the build on Platform Y.
You may be assuming intent where there is really only incompetence
Sadly mozilla provides no documentation for those settings, but I can assure you that this setting does not care if the tab is in the foreground or background, autoplay is simply disabled which it seems to me was what was asked here IIANM.
One compiler for all platforms is a major win.
This is what we want to build !
Chances are that the increased riches of the world will not be divided in such a way that those who are now earning a living wage with their driving license will profit from that.
> However long it takes to get to AGI, when we're (say) half way there, the amount of societal upheaval will be enormous.

Could you unpack this a bit more?

Are you referring to the disruption in jobs caused by the effectiveness of narrow AI when we reach that point?

I'm not at all against people automating the hell out of their homes, so I'm on "your side" as it were, but this isn't the greatest argument in favor.

People yelling at family members over leaving the lights are essentially "penny pinching" fractional cents of energy costs. I'm sure all the computers, sensors, networking gear, etc, that make this all work consume significantly more power than if you were just to leave every light in your house on 100% of the time, especially if we're talking about LED bulbs.
According to the first post in the linked thread, the switch to clang is transparent enough that the VS IDE-based debugging experience still works.

My guess (not being a Chromium developer myself) is that this is an exercise in consistency across platforms - I can imagine that using the same compiler on all supported platforms makes the language features supported consistent and removes the risk of one compiler generating much worse output for the same code. But I'm just postulating, I don't actually know for sure.
Cool ! If you want more privacy around your kid than streaming what she is saying to Amazon with Alexa, you can use the platform we are building at https://snips.ai, it is free and will be open-source too!
Opinion pieces are still subject to approval by the editor and reflect the broader narrative of the news organization.

Simply compare the opinion pieces in the NYT (more left leaning) to those in the WSJ (more right leaning) -- there is a clear and obvious bias toward the overall publication's bias.
In fact, Chollet links a whole series of essays worth reading:

1) The Myth of a Superhuman AI (https://www.wired.com/2017/04/the-myth-of-a-superhuman-ai/)

2) The Terminator Is Not Coming. (https://www.recode.net/2015/3/2/11559576/the-terminator-is-n...)

3) idlewords : Superintelligence - The Idea That Eats Smart People (http://idlewords.com/talks/superintelligence.htm)

The frustrating thing is that people with insane amounts of resources and disposable income get swallowed up by these Basilisk-ian non-concerns, while very real pressing issues like Police Brutality, Wealth Inequality, Lack of HealthCare, etc. are deemed too boring for enthusiastic action.
Oh please.

The issue isn't what the end result could look like, but whether we'll actually get there if basic societal needs aren't met first. Prioritize things which are needed now and in the near future.
If the currency was a cryptocurrency with support on the smart contract platform, yes.

It's because of the obnoxious metonymy "nicotine -> cigarette smoke" that appears even in research paper titles.
We use Hugo for our site's blog and we really appreciate the speed of compilation and the overall simplicity [1]. That said, it can be frustrating that it's not really possible to add or modify markdown extensions. If you want to do something as simple as adding some custom classes to tables and rows then you're pretty much out of luck. The closest that you can get is to switch out the renderer for mmark and use inline attributes, but that's still extremely limited. We often end up writing HTML in the templates when I would much rather be able to extend the renderer. I understand that this is a trade-off and that there are benefits to each side, but I wish that I understood the limitations better before deciding to go with Hugo.

On the other hand, python-markdown is an extremely well-designed library and it's an absolute joy to hack on and extend. Once upon a time, I used it to throw together an API documentation renderer for Mono class library documentation on a now dead product [2]. Overall, I enjoyed that a lot more than my experience with Hugo and I will probably use something python based for my next static site.

Regarding "killer robots":

If we can't make "paperclip maximization" the main goal of a some human, why do we expect to be able to make it the main goal of some AGI?

Ask HN: How do I find companies that are hiring new grads?
I have just finished my masters in CS from a top 20 school and it seems it has become particularly hard to find companies willing to hire fresh grads. Is there no better way than to just keep going from one company website to another to find who are OK with fresh graduates? And in my case, I honestly feel I am fairly strong on algorithms/data structures/coding but I don't have many internships (just 1; not at Google/Facebook/etc). Is there any resource that you can point me to find companies?
Or you can just slowly blink and keep your eyes closed for two minutes, from the comfort of your chair.

It's really worth it to see this in person. There's nothing like it in the world.
My 6th gen came as a replacement for my original 1st gen Nano thanks to the recall for the burning Japanese units, long past the original warranty. Still works great despite one unfortunate incident where it went through both a wash and drying cycle in the pocket of a pair of shorts.

Windows Subsystem for Linux is out of beta
The post says that the debugging experience stays... so perhaps clang outputs PDBs now, and/or you can interface it with Windows gdb somehow.
Apollo 13 escape room at Houston Escape Hunt is absolutely delightful
Yes exactly. Fewer people can add economic value at that point, and unless there is a negative income tax or basic guaranteed income, inequality spirals out of control, leading to even more of the anger-driven policy we're starting to see today.

Another way to look at it is that the gov could always monitor you via wiretapping, but doing it through centralized data services is easier and cheaper.

At least Vitalik & Gavin Woods in combination with Joe Lubin (Consensys & Ethereum Foundation) keep pushing it without any talks about reality, but just sell unproven future ideas while they train people and manufacture ICOs (less so after the SEC) and sell Ethereum to dumb enterprise that drunk the cool-aid.
You can use a framework, copy some examples and "create" your own AI. You don't need maths for it, just follow some steps from the examples. But you only be able to copy other things, if you want to go one step ahead and use the latest research you need to understand some math and get some general knowledge of the machine learning algorithms you are using. To create something new, you definitely need maths. I don't see anyone creating a new algorithms without knowledge of algebra and other topics.
So to address just one of your points: you're going to judge the environmental value of an electric car by the mix of fuels today, even though the car lasts 20+ years?

Electric cars are also extremely useful in that you can choose to charge them at times when wind and solar are producing "too much" power.
Can you recommend some good parking games?
If you live in an "all compiler warnings are errors" world, having two compilers where a bit of code can cause a warning in one compiler and not cause a warning in another compiler is really annoying.
This is not a valid argument. It's an appeal to possibility fallacy and rather dismissive. If you're not going to present an actual argument, do yourself a favor and not reply at all.

I would like to see them replace the iPod Nano with a Siri-enabled version that plays music from the cloud over cellular. In the US, T-Mobile offers a DHH post-paid plan for $20/month that zero-rates Apple Music. You could stick their SIM in that device and have an infinite cloud iPod with Siri as the DJ. Sort of like what the Pebble Core was going to be.

I'm not interested at all in the drama of the incident.

I'm interested in what steps were necessary to force a lifetime harasser to find a lawyer and a) agree to provide that lawyer with at least a partial list of victims of his online attacks, and b) also agree to allow the lawyer to contact the family of those victims and request a response if the lifetime harasser ever tries to contact the victim again.

Some of the elixir bits are now out of date.
(eg. it still has a section on Records)

But it touched on a lot of OTP topics that were missing from other places.

At the time I remember Elixir in Action really made me finally understand the OTP concepts.
As far as I'm aware, there are no downsides to switching to Clang on Windows. Clang produces VS-compatible debug info, it's integrated perfectly fine into VS. In addition, you don't need a VS license to compile the desired 64-bit Windows binaries. In addition, the code generated is typically faster and smaller. They get to use new C++ features without waiting for a major VC++ release. They can hope to do cross compilation on an operating system with a filesystem that isn't outrageously slow. They can stop having to put in VS-specific warning disables and go with the GCC-Clang standard ones. Clang is also just faster to run in general. They get to use one compiler on every platform, and when they improve the compiler, it helps all of their platforms.

Seems like a win on every level to me.
I'm biased as my company (Bleacher Report) uses it extensively for this exact purpose but yes: do it. It's great.
I have found the article but it's in Polish. I also have no idea how reputable source this is, they seem very good on the first glance. There are some website writing about 'military' that are basically right wing trash or propaganda or conspiracies (or all of the above).

The hole was apparently not clean through because the original armor and extra layer and reactive armor installed during 'modernisations' did it job and protected the tank and the crew, it just now has this horribly looking hole in it so the Ukrainian crew abandoned it and separatists took it. This is a tank from the 60s, modernised in the 80s, by the way.
