Did you read the post?

Yes. Remember, I linked to it. And, as painful as it was, I did read the whole thing.

White men, on the other hand, have the power to not hire her, to fire her, and so forth.

So the implication is that a majority of these white men in position of power are bigoted? I think an alternative explanation for her not getting hired is that maybe she didn't meet their standards. I understand that this is maybe a difficult conclusion to accept if you're a female supremacist with a fragile ego.

Why are you mounting an all-out attack against her because you were reminded of her thesis?

I think the attack is well-deserved for reasons that should be obvious by now.
How would it have any clue if it's below another div? Pretty much impossible
Actually this is the way most manufacturers already work today. That's why they are so slow to shift to electric - less spare parts.
The Nissan Leaf is a terrible EV. The 3-5 year old models you mention have very low range (~60 miles). That's why they're so cheap. People that own them are constantly mindful of their charge % and are always on the lookout for charging stations if they're deviating from their normal commutes. I've seen many of them run out of juice on the leftmost lanes during commute hours too, causing even more congestion for miles. If you were looking at new cars, you can get a 2017 Chevy Bolt with 200+ mile range for not much more than a new Leaf.
"terrible" seems overdramatizing. "Slightly inconvenient at first, but fairly convenient a few weeks down the road after the muscle memory develops" is a more apt description. Volume and wipers have been duplicated to steering wheel knobs and levers, hazard lights do have a physical button (as electrical system failure and touch screen outage are a possibility), and climate control defaults to the last desired temperature (and that's if you chose to go off auto).
What is the best way to reduce pain from using ctrl with pinky finger? (emacs pinky?)
You need to understand Math for sure. Linear Algebra is a MUST. Some probability theory may help understanding.

Start reading books, and working on side projects, post it online, then attending some local meetups. Next step is to aim higher, start following latest arxiv papers, trying to read them, and gradually getting comfortable to implement them. At this stage, you can land a job in the industry if you search really hard.

Disclaimer: that is how I do it. From a application SDE, to working on deep learning in a big company. It is doable, and me 2 years or so, but it is worth it.
I'm only 5'6" so I can sleep like a baby and work comfortably as well.
In my experience - buy a good mechanical keyboard, and remap Control and Caps Lock.
I really hope the German government does something to make it more desirable for employees to want the Model 3 or similar cars as company cars.

Just to explain the involved costs:
There's two ways the government taxes company cars for employees, either you get to write a driving log, that then marks each route as either private or business and then you get the privately driven part taxed as income OR you just get 1% of the new car value taxed as income each month and don't have to provide a driving log. The company pays for leasing, gas and maintenance.

That's where electric cars savings on fuel and maintenance don't affect business customers, they don't care mostly because the company pays for the gas anyway and is used to do that so it will stay that way quite a while.

I just hope they give a tax break on the 1% rule, so it's just 0,5 or something similar that makes these cars more desirable compared to a similar priced gas guzzler.
The Myth of Superhuman AI has to be a joke. Please tell me it's a joke.

> Intelligence is not a single dimension, so “smarter than humans” is a meaningless concept.

So "I'm smarter than my dog" is a meaningless sentence? My dog will be happy to hear that . . . if he could understand it.

> Humans do not have general purpose minds, and neither will AIs.

This statement (even if true) seems totally irrelevant to his argument. So I was really looking forward to read the long form version in section #2 and see if it somehow makes sense.

It doesn't seem to.

His point is that minds involve tradeoffs, so specialized agents might be better than a big general AI. Whose side is he arguing on here? He isn't showing that a general intelligence couldn't exist that's better than humans in every way. He's just saying that even it would be inferior in specialized tasks to even more inhuman, specialized minds. Comforting this is not.

> Emulation of human thinking in other media will be constrained by cost.

This section is kind of a hack too, but since at least the title makes sense lets give him a freebie.

> Dimensions of intelligence are not infinite.

Oh golly. He starts off by asserting that the core of the AGI people's ideas relies on intelligence being on an unlimited scale. It includes this gem: "Temperature is not infinite — there is finite cold and finite heat." My estimate of this being a joke article is going back up.

Alright, I agree that intelligence, like temperature, is not infinite. I still don't want be be competing for a job opening with Von Neumann. Von Neumann doesn't want to be competing for a job with future-AGI-silicon-Von-Neumann, whose brain is 500 million GPUs in a datacenter stretching across Montana.

> Intelligences are only one factor in progress.

Right, just wildly the most important one.

My honest opinion is that I feel a little bad for the author. He clearly just doesn't want to believe the plausibility of this idea, and is just throwing every argument he can against it and hoping one of them sticks. I sympathize, but this kind of squid-ink writing probably doesn't serve as a great foundation for future debate.

Will Finland remain a poster child of democracy?
That is not correct. They sold about 80k S/X last year, with the X still growing, achieving 100k does not sound too far-fetched, they sold 47k cars in the first two quarters of the year. The article is extremely biased and full of FUD. The transition to 100kWh batteries was not without problems, that is why they kept the 90kWh option until last quarter. As usual, Tesla might have been slightly optimistic with their timing of the transition from 90 to 100 kWh, consequently there was a slight delay in getting enough 100kWh vehicles made. But they managed to build 25k vehicles in the second quarter as planned. Deliveries lag behind that, as many vehicles have been made but not delivered yet.
There are already a bunch of open solutions. You can self host OpenHAB or Home Assistant right now and integrate many different devices from many different manufacturers using open protocols like Z-Wave.

In such a case neither the devices nor the main controller need to phone home.
I don't think Emacs has been modeless in many, many years. I read that already in 1978 Emacs buffers could be used to edit files, of course, but also read email, run a shell, show a list of compilation errors linked to source locations, etc. Each of those is a completely different mode of operation with different keybindings (and different meaning for keybindings that happened to be shared).
Yes and no. The low use of the brakes can be bad in non optimal weather, and can lead to the brakes getting stuck, uneven etc. There has been some problems with this in Denmark and Norway. So you still need to service the brakes.
Agreed, although it's also true that vanilla Emacs is quite spartan and has many questionable defaults. In my opinion it would be much better if plain Emacs provided a nicer user experience out of the box, thus reducing the need for customisation and external packages which is a big barrier to entry for new users.
Good to know. I've noticed that NixOS hosts their binary package caches on CloudFront, which I assumed was because it's cost effective. Those URLs are completely content addressed so they're optimal for CDN caching. Is there a significantly better alternative to S3+CloudFront? I'm pretty influenced by brand names in this situation because there are so many random hosting companies out there.
It should mention 2015 in the title.
Elon said it in the live stream, they have built 50 Model 3 in production. 30 got delivered at the event 20 are going to be used internally. Production ramps up from that, the target rate for December is 5000/week, expect the production numbers to raise in the months in between.

Mine's OC'd to 3.66ghz, but I also added a SATA3 and USB 3.1 expansion card which has helped to keep it current.

I think this is as far as I can take it though. It'll never be able to boot off an NVMe drive, which I'll definitely grab for my next machine. My XPS 15 has one and there's a subtle but noticeable difference in snappy-ness.
No, in almost any discussion about Tesla cars, someone expresses that opinion. There are physical controls on the steering wheel though. You have for example 2 scroll-wheel buttons which can be used to adjust settings while driving without touchscreen interaction.
This isn't really a qualitative judgement against advertising so much as what happens in large mature industries as waste and inefficiency and perverse incentives pile up. Look at any government/military over-spending for similar effects.

P&G is one of the largest advertisers on the planet using hundreds of agencies with thousands of vendors with millions of placements across digital media, managed by thousands of people trying to make themselves look good and get that bonus. This is a typical cycle of cleaning house.

The industry itself is slowly getting better and will eventually fix many problems through technology and regulation but there's still a very long way to go for that.

That's true but the text editing part is modeless as opposed to how vi and it's kin do it. Of course even that can be changed and Spacemacs has recently made it a fairly popular choice.
It depends on settings, state of charge and temperature of the batterypack. On normal it stars a slow regen as soon as you let go of the "gas". And brakes are only deployed if you hit the brakes. However if you already have a full battery (very rare) or the battery is cold (very often in cold winter) the battery cant absorb the charge, so regen is disabled. This means the car brakes very differently, with or without regen, but this is also indicates on the dash.
No, because Jews aren't an overwhelming majority of people taking up space in universities.

I think you'll find that they are overrepresented. How did that come about? And to turn your question back at you: if jews are not responsible for their over-representation in academia, then who is?

How about this? Should all the black NBA players (which is most of them) should resign too and make room for white people? Clearly they are responsible for keeping all the white men out. I could go on forever.

Going back to her thesis, it's really odd to me how emotional you get over this and can't separate the thesis from the blog post.

Sorry, I can not separate work from the author.
Then stop collecting the data.
A lot of people love brands and pick the one they last remember - which is why advertising is so powerful. It maybe sound cheesy/irrational/unbelievable but it's true and there are 100s of billions in market value built on it.
> Why would anyone value property higher than people are willing to pay? Wouldn't that just mean more property tax?

The idea between property tax seems to be different between countries. I learned that in some countries you pay annual property tax based on the estimated value of your property - which would be not-beneficial like you said.

Here in germany you pay an annual property tax which is calculated based on the land area that you own. E.g. you pay for 200m^2, and the amount of tax per m^2 is fixed by the city. That means you would pay the same independent of whether you value or property at 1€ oder 10M€. There's also a real estate transfer tax which the buyer of a property needs to pay. This is calculated based on the real price. However it doesn't affect the seller. So valuing your property higher than it's market value has no tax implications, but of course it will be a lot harder to really sell it for more than market rate.

Connects the wheels to a generator to recapture some of the energy. Slows the car down too. Good as a "first level" brake.
It's hard to decouple decriminalization (which is not legalization) with simply investing in better treatment for addicts.

If to get treatment they basically have to turn themselves in, and are liable to go to jail, I doubt many would make that choice.
Well, there's a limit, right? The point of a highway is to move people from point A to point B as quickly and safely as possible. In other words, we need to optimize for both. If we optimize only for safety we'd crawl at 5 mph.
I agree partially with what you say. It actually changed my feeling towards it a bit and had to pause for a second.

There's another player being squeezed in a theoretical e-book dumping. Writers. Amazon doesn't do for them what publishers do(editing to marketing), and taking out the competition could benefit consumers at the expense of the writers.
I occasionally end up in there searching for what people are saying about stuff. Recently on the topic of John McCain. That place is really terrible.

Elon mentioned the interior was redesigned with full autonomy in mind. I guess the use case "driver maintaining the vehicle speed via non-autonomous pedal pressure while wanting to check the vehicle speed because he did not enable cruise mode" is a weird edge case for them.

On autopilot the car will stick to the assigned speed (with adaptive cruise control slowing down or speeding up depending on the traffic in front of you). In fully autonomous driving mode the car will read the speed limit signs and adjust.
Wipers are automatic, volume, stations and fan speed are on the steering wheel (aling with voice control at other setting. at least on my Model S)

I don't understand how remapping Caps Lock to Control is supposed to improve things, considering that there's already a Control key in the vicinity of Caps Lock. For me the bigger problem is the right control key.

Most importantly following the same reasoning so popular here we could argue that no one is a criminal, if anyone commits some crimes it is because of the social environment in which he was raised, or because of some mental health issues, or whatever excuse you want to find.
In these years we are assisting to a de-responsibilization in which every one is excused for any behaviour.
Pointing out like you that a lot of the addicts at the beginning did a conscious choice to use drugs will just bring a lot of downvotes and simply false replies asserting that everyone is an addict because it was given some pain relief medication or that alcohol is worse than heroin, just to make some people curious about it and to try it probably.
My uninformed guess is that talking about current legal proceedings is frowned upon by their lawyers.

July has been made scammer / spam month for whatever reason. Saw it on a British website... so not sure if it applies to the United States, but just because I had been receiving hundreds of spam emails to my website's email account, I can imagine that other people are receiving the same amount of spam.. and some are even falling for it.

As a result of this, I wrote a series of articles to try an educate my readers on the dangers of replying and/or dealing with any spam or scam emails.

Try it and you'll see. Control is usually two keys lower than Caps Lock, forcing you to bend your pinky in a weird way.

As for Right Control - I don't think I ever pressed that key in my life...
It's a pipe dream; but advertising/lobbying deserves regulatory hurdles much like other public health threats (e.g. tobacco). And before anyone shouts "freedom of speech" - we already do that extensively for stuff like fraud, libel, and incitement to violence/terrorism, so this isn't really anything particularly new.

It's simply detrimental to the overall ability for us to think.
OCSP stapling isn't supported yet by Go as far as I can tell, but I'll implement PROXY for HTTP proxying (not for TCP proxying of course)...

And yes, it's using SNI which is now largely supported, but I think I can add an option to restrict it to as single TLS certificate (and make it work without SNI).

The original use-case is a friend with 2500 websites hosted on a single server, and he wants to make the switch to TLS ;-) but I'll try to make it work for everyone!
Of course, restraints let the structure around you disintegrate without you being part of the spectacle.

Yet it is true that airbags have probably saved millions of lives as well as untold people from painful, expensive and life changing injuries.

There is no way I would buy a car without airbags. This is one reason I am not into vintage or collectible cars, they are simply not safe and I do not care to drive them.
Depends on the size of your company, sometimes SysAdmin means SysAdmin, DevOps, SRE and internal tools developer.
Sometimes it just means the computer guy.
I understand that it also makes good biochar. Some varieties make good textile fiber, I personally like the feel of bamboo and bamboo hybrid textiles, and the ones I own seem to hold up better than cotton after washing. The fact that it is basically a giant weed (more specifically a grass, everyone's favourite type of weed) is great, because you can abuse it, and it'll still take up tonnes of space for you. It's not too hard to contain if you make sure to moat, vinegar, and block it thoroughly. A good place for an expired family pet or a political enemy. When compressed thoroughly (three or four thousand tons per square meter) with the fibers aligned, it makes for unusually uniform and dense planks, beams, and boards. If assembled while green, then treated with borax, it can make for very interesting (and outrageously strong) structures if you know what to do with it. If you go to extra lengths, it can be a centenarian building material.

The shoots are also good eats when cooked in rich stew or broiled with mayonnaise and chili.
This isn't a very fair comparison as the Lisp code is shown running in the REPL, not in some sort of release mode that, even in Lisp, would presumably not drop you into the REPL.

It's fairer to ask for interactive mode, in which you can redefine things and restart your tests:

$ python3 -i interrupt.py
0
1
2
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
File "interrupt.py", line 12, in <module>
drill(10, gen)
File "interrupt.py", line 7, in drill
time.sleep(1)
KeyboardInterrupt
>>> def gen(n):
... print('{}!'.format(n))
...
>>> drill(10, gen)
0!
1!
2!
3!
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "interrupt.py", line 7, in drill
time.sleep(1)
KeyboardInterrupt
>>>

What's magic about the Lisp version is not the "in debug mode, you get a REPL and can redefine stuff" part. What's magic about the Lisp version is the "you can then continue the test where you left off" part. That's impossible in Python because exceptions unwind the stack.
It happened in 2002, and git was started in 2005. See commit a04d5983:

commit a04d59830e46664faa4d534366a6b07e3b7c12f2
Author: Richard M. Stallman <rms@gnu.org>
Date: Sat Oct 26 22:41:33 2002 +0000
(command-line): Look for .emacs under ~/.emacs.d after looking in ~.

Interestingly it was changed to look for ~/.emacs.d/init.el in 2005, six months after git got started.

See also chapter 51.4 of the Emacs manual (which is often preferred over the documentation of variables simply because it can be more explanatory):

51.4 The Emacs Initialization File
==================================

When Emacs is started, it normally tries to load a Lisp program from an
“initialization file”, or “init file” for short. This file, if it
exists, specifies how to initialize Emacs for you. Emacs looks for your
init file using the filenames ‘~/.emacs’, ‘~/.emacs.el’, or
‘~/.emacs.d/init.el’; you can choose to use any one of these three names
(*note Find Init::). Here, ‘~/’ stands for your home directory.

So yes, it's long been used for things like the list of recently opened files, and configuration changes you made with Custom, and the UIDVALIDITY of your IMAP folders and so on, but it's also been a place to put your init file for quite a long time as well. Once you get a longish init.el file, it's a pretty short step to making several .el files that you load from init.el, and from there you can get as fancy as you like.
One thing I have noticed is my prime membership has subtly shifted my shopping habits further and further towards Amazon.

I've become impatient with other sites delivery fees and schedules, and don't really bother doing much price comparison either. Last night I ordered something off Amazon at 22:45 and it arrived this morning, that's a 10-11 hour turnaround time, and most of that time I was asleep

It makes me a bit uncomfortable that the situation has come to this, I'm inclined to cancel my auto renewal on Prime, just to try and level the playing field a bit when it comes to comparing retailers.
The taxi market differs between countries, but in those markets where the regulations are there to protect the riders and drivers, ie minimum wages, proper tax handling, health insurance, passenger's insurance, etc, Uber is morality wrong in just the same way.
I used to think "emacs pinky" was a joke, until I got my first programming job and I suddenly used emacs eight hours a day. :-|

Then I read somewhere that the Ctrl key used to be at the location now occupied by Caps Lock on PC keyboards. So now, on every computer I use regularly, I remap Caps Lock to be an additional Ctrl key. My pinky has thanked me for it ever since. ;-)

Also, I cannot remember having used Caps Lock ever, except by accident.
