The US Air Force is in denial about this. The controls of a modern craft are mediated by computer through fly by wire. The mechanism that detect aircraft is mediated by computer. The targeting of guns and missiles all depend on computers, not humans. In the latest aircraft, the F-35, the obscuring of vision is compensated for cameras that present the pilot with a computationally created augmented reality view of the environment. The plane is programmed to keep flying if the pilot passes out from hi-Gs. Etc.

Even if a human pilot were really somehow better (better judgement maybe, or harder to fool in theory), that advantage will not outweigh the fact that a pilot-less plane is cheaper, more maneuverable, able to react faster and be expendable.

Submersibles are like planes in that making them manned adds incredibly to the cost, and human senses are not very useful.

In those areas, humans are going to leave the loop by necessity.

I totally agree, but I sadly think we're already there. Part of the magic behind using remote controlled drones is that we can attack people far away without putting American lives at risk. If we actually had to go there and risk casualties, it probably wouldn't be worth it. But if it's just some innocent by-standards that don't happen to be American, that doesn't seem to stop us.

I'm not sure as to what Apple could even do here. Make AccuWeather disclose this and be honest with its users in the app description? When we give away location information to any app, that information may go anywhere. It's probably a matter of luck that this particular app was sending it to a third party site directly and was "caught", but other apps may as well be sending it to their own servers, which in turn send them to many data brokers and ad targeters. We wouldn't know anything for the rest of them.

This seems like a complex problem to me, and it seems like the solutions cannot be technical alone. We would need to push for better policies and laws too.
Thanks! I clicked to their site, didn't occur to me to check the TC article.

As someone who lives in the Oceanic region, reading this, my thoughts/fears jump to how this will affect the balance of power between the US and China, which I believe helps ASEAN and Aus/NZ to live in a state of relative self-determination at the moment.

Are armies of cheap robots likely to shift the balance of power in favour of the large established super-powers or smaller nations? Or would they have an effect such as rendering the US Pacific Fleet redundant? It will be interesting and scary to watch it all play out.

What's not clear is if AccuWeather, which has an ad-free paid in-app-purchase, would still send this information even if someone opted out of ads that way. If this information was sent even from the paid users' devices, that would be even worse!

@willstrafach, any idea about this?
The distractions weren't driven by vast, A/B-tested, AI-assisted, institutional machines with the resources of major nation-states.

In 1817, your primary distractions would mostly have involved hauling: bringing water, food, wood, and materials into a home, and hauling the waste products out. The metaphor was buckets and baskets, not pipes.

There might have been some home-craft production, or farming. But those were not idle pursuits.

Entertainment was something done rather than consumed: people told stories or read to one another (if they could), or played music (or dice or cards -- considered vices).

And the primary information conduit was a weekly sermon or service.
As an IC, managers exist to set me in a direction and then free me from the political wrangling necessary to deliver (recognized) business value: stakeholder management, scoping, sufficient resourcing, realistic timelines, cooperation and prioritization from teams we depend on, air cover while I deal with unexpected setbacks, upward/outward/inbound communication about the project, etc. We're a team on this, but I have my area of responsibility and you have yours. It's on you to replace me if I'm not doing my part; I have no such option.

If I'm accountable to (recognized) business value, something is deeply wrong. The whole reason we have you is to shoulder that responsibility, and to insulate developers so that we're only accountable for/thinking about architecture and implementation. If I have to do the job of both engineering manager and engineer, I'll find somewhere to pay me both compensation packages (i.e. consulting), or (more likely) somewhere I can do just one.

As an aside, even if all your projects are successful, comparing ICs on business value created only tells you who you gave the most impactful projects to. Sometimes your best engineers are stuck doing unsexy, low-impact but necessary maintenance. They create no business value, but prevent existing business value from being destroyed by bit-rot. Sometimes your weakest engineers get a low-hanging-fruit project that's impossible to screw up and immensely valuable to the business. That does not make them ready to take a larger role in more difficult problems, which is typically what a high performance rating entails.

Decentraleyes [1] does something like that, although it still fetches them from a common CDN. That said, I'm not sure how well it works: there are many, many different versions of every different library around, and when they're bundled, you don't get to see them separate anymore at all.

I really like the succinctness of async/await, and I feel like it's the last step of a long journey. The single threaded callback based style of Javascript has always been a mixed blessing. It has allowed for great performance, and it gives better control that having to juggle threads, but it was all to easy to get into deeply nested callback hell.

If you see design patterns as indicators of language smells -- and it's a useful perspective IMHO -- then in this case callbacks were the smell and the various promise libraries were the design patterns. It's a nice thing that promises and their async/await sugercoating have fairly rapidly made it into the core language.

Now, for the one thing that I don't like about async/await: it's deceivingly simple and it's bound to fool both novice programmers and programmers arriving from threaded languages. If you don't understand the underlying concept of promises, you'll easily end up writing suboptimal code (e.g. executing stuff in sequence which would be better executed in parallel).

Still, a net win.

There's a -MT flag which does what the sed line does. From the gcc man page:

Change the target of the rule emitted by
dependency generation... An -MT option will
set the target to be exactly the string you
specify...

So in your example one might do something like

-MT "$@ $(basename $@).d"

which would output

main.o main.d : main.c defs.h

for the main.o target.

I wouldn't go so far as to call reCaptcha a gimmick. It is an excellent example of how a slight modification/re-mapping of the original problem-space can solve more socially/commercially useful problems.

PoW has proven itself in the field for years, while PoS is still untested at scale. Being able to piggyback scientific/medical/environmental computation over a PoW scheme would provide significant value as opposed to a fairly useless compute problem such as the double-SHA256.

The key here is to be able to re-interpret/re-state a problem in terms of the PoW algorithm with the following characteristics:
- Expensive to calculate, cheap to validate
- Dynamically-adjustable difficulty

An ideal implementation of this would be similar to an OS running an idle process (double SHA256), and switching to running user-processes (medical/scientific computation) when needed/instructed.
One of the first pics in that article comes from an earlier chip he previously reviewed - the Intel 3101. I'm proud to say my dad provided Ken with those two Intel 3101 chips.

Ken's review of the 3101 is here:
http://www.righto.com/2017/07/inside-intels-first-product-31...

This is the first IC ever produced by Intel.

My dad had a few of these chips from an old computer. Some of the 3101 chips are from such early runs they don't even have the usual date stamps on the packages, and were outsourced by Intel into generic wirebonded IC packages.
The Dempster Dumpster had a standard form factor, so that the forks of a Dempster Dumpmaster truck could pick it up and dump it into the back.[1] The patents have expired, so now anyone can make compatible rubbish bins and trucks. The standard form factor lives on for compatibility with the installed base. Properly, the term "Dumpster" refers only to containers compatible with that system.

There's also the Dempster Dinosaur, for when a Dumpster just isn't big enough.[2] That form factor is called a "roll off".

The Dempster brothers solved the problem of collecting, lifting, packing, and moving a lot of trash without hand labor, and dominated the industry for decades. Dempster, the company, seems not to have survived. The "Dumpster" trademark was allowed to lapse. From the USPTO:

I'm not advocating for decentralization. Just offering that up as a common argument that PoW advocates use.

I think that in reality, PoW systems become more centralized over time. You can already see that with Bitcoin. Eventually the gatekeepers become those with the largest energy resources available to them, and "we the people" will be in the noise when it comes to hashing power.

I'd rather take energy efficient centralization than faux decentralization that also happens to destroy the environment.

Ethereum: First Metropolis Upgrade in Late September
The U.S. military's current approach, the "Third Offset" which is still in development, is based on the theory that AI is good at defined tasks (e.g., identifying enemy planes) but not at handling the chaos of war (e.g., everything involved in flying a plane on a mission); that is, it's not good at general intelligence. AI can park your car, but the other cars aren't intelligent adversaries who are trying to stop you from parking, destroy your car, and kill you.

The general design is to combine AIs and humans in what they call "centaurs", utilizing the strengths of each in a team. At least, that is what is said publicly.

But autonomy already is deployed. For example, in ships, the last line of defense against incoming missiles are basically large, autonomous machine guns; a human could never act quickly enough against supersonic incoming missiles. Computer system attack and defense ("cyber") is expected to be run by AI, simply because humans can't keep up with an attacking AI. Autonomy also is necessary because you can't depend on having secure, effective communication with your drones; that would be a huge vulnerability.

But autonomy is much trickier to define than it first appears: If you shoot a 'dumb' artillery shell at a target, you lose control of the shell the moment after you pull the trigger. If a group of children subsequently enters the target area, that 'autonomous' shell is going to kill them and you can't stop it. (An AI weapon might be safer in that kind of circumstance; it can change course.) Is it different to shoot a dumb shell to kill everything in the target area than to send an AI-operated drone to the same target area with the same instructions?
I looked into this. It seems this is something that was added in M pertaining to Doze and App Stanby modes and is not related to the new O background execution limits (which apply generally).

Only if you create a channel with no buffer: then it becomes blocking send or receive. Go channels block when they have nothing to do, either no room to send anything (in the case of a default channel with no buffer) or nothing to receive (when the channel has no messages).

It's not uncommon to use a select statement to allow work to continue (it may act like a loop) and wait to receive a message on a channel. This is the common pattern for handling timeouts: create a timer goroutine that will wake at a set time and send a message to a timeout channel, keep checking to see if work is done, and if the timer fires then cancel the select with an appropriate message (function call or return an error value).
Exactly! I don't expect this to work for every case, but if we can re-think even a small subset of socially-relevant computation problems as a PoW scheme, that could be a game-changer!

Now you will get correct results. But now if you change just one file, you will always rebuild everything, even files that don't import the changed file.

> we destroyed Libya

The U.S. and allies helped drive Qaddafi from power. They didn't physically destroy Libya, though maybe politically.

> because some exile in Switzerland claimed Qaddafi was being extra super mean, only he wasn't.

Qaddafi's human rights record was very well known for a long time, and he also made enemies in the West by supporting terrorists and destroying a commercial airliner in flight, killing its passengers. The immediate cause of the West's intervention was that Qaddafi was openly about to destroy rebels (including civilians, IIRC). I'm not sure how much of a role this exile played.

I am always disappointed when this discussion comes up, because nobody considers what will certainly happen in the future. This situation, where a large percentage of Bitcoin's value is spent on mining, is temporary.

Bitcoin's mining reward halves every couple of years. When the Bitcoin block reward becomes negligible, as it certainly will in within a few decades, the only thing funding Bitcoin miners will be transaction fees, so the entire cost of Bitcoin mining will be borne directly by users of the network.

The amount of money spent on electricity for mining is exactly the same as the (perceived) value of the mining rewards. Therefore, in the future the amount of money spent on electricity for mining will certainly go down as a percentage of Bitcoin's value.

If Bitcoin becomes very popular and valuable, transaction fees may be significant in absolute terms, but they will always be a very small percentage of the total, and likely smaller than the percentage of economic output consumed by the traditional financial system (in the future when the block reward is small).
I think GP's point was more focused on the threat of allowing a small number of people (or an individual) to do a large amount of harm.

The problem is that you're making the following insinuation:

there are no more differences between men and women than between black people and white people

That statement is simply not true. In terms of physical prowess, men are stronger, faster, etc. There is just no question:

* the record for mens "clean and jerk" is as much as the womans record... plus the woman who's doing the record

* national / olympic womens teams (soccer, baseball, etc.) compete with mens high school teams... and lose.

* the records for swimming, sprinting, marathon, etc. show huge difference by sex
