everyone learns in different ways, don't be too attached to your own perspective. we all interpret the world through different lenses and need to learn through the expressions of different methodologies. some people benefit heavily by implementing something themselves and not just reading through something someone else wrote. some people feed off of that practical and robust experience of implementation in order to get a proper context for how things actually work established in their head. concrete examples are more helpful than you might think to people who aren't as capable of abstract thought and logical analysis of something from its constituent parts
People can be having a 'bad face day' if the Face ID doesn't work fast enough.
That AI chip that runs 600 billion instructions per second - is that just for FaceID or can it be programmed?
No, eyes need to be open, the user has to be "paying attention".
From other parts of the country you might say things like "I took I-5" or "Interstate Five", "Route Five", "Highway Five", "US 5" etc.

"I-5" to me sounds a little harsh and hard to say to my ears vs. "I-95" or "I-80" which have a nicer ring to them, so maybe that's how this sort of thing could develop if that's just how the major highways ended up being numbered in different parts of the country.

True, it's three things:

And no cue to know if faceid worked before swiping. I couldn't see cues (maybe I missed them).
It looked like he had a backup phone for that. For the fingertip version every once in a while you have to put in the passcode. I assume that's what happened in his case as well...
Second that. Half the time I get directions wrong, whether it's adding/subtracting, multiplying/dividing, up/down, etc. Math was a mess and finance was an absolute nightmare, especially with derivatives.
It's almost always been true. Think back to the early iPhone days when they didn't even have cut & paste!

Apple has always done a good job of really refining features, but I'm not certain I can think of one that they were first on.
It sounds to me like it is working as intended, intermittent human intervention of the trajectory of a vehicle. Autopilot has never meant 100% control by a robot, even airplanes still have pilots for most of the flight.

Rip Riley: Uncuff me, you idiot! Holy God, if we overshot our chance to refuel...

Sterling Archer: I thought you put it on autopilot!

Rip Riley: It just maintains course and altitude! It doesn't know how to find THE ONLY AIRSTRIP WITHIN A THOUSAND MILES SO IT CAN LAND ITSELF WHEN IT NEEDS GAS!

Sterling Archer: Then I, uh... misunderstood the concept.
It's all stored locally on the phone. I don't think they mentioned whether there will still be a "panic" button which forces passcode unlock.
You can if you admit the possibility of failure. Design an experiment that if it gets a significant result, that result will be solidly significant and counterintuitive. The flip side of that is that most of your results will not be significant, i.e. they will support the accepted scientific consensus. (And these should be published too - lack of interest in reproduced results is what triggered the reproduction crisis.)

It's much like with tech startups - you can design a startup such that it will either be worth billions or zero by tackling a problem that most people believe to be unsolvable but will affect lots of people, and then trying multiple counterintuitive ways of solving it. The vast majority of them will fail because that's what it means to be counterintuitive, but if it succeeds, you have a world-changing company.

Financial instruments as well - an option is a financial contract whose value will either be zero or a lot, depending on whether an unlikely-but-possible event occurs.

That's absolutely not true. I can tell the difference between 60 hz (16ms) and my 144 hz monitor. I can tell when my 144 hz monitor is accidentally running at a lower refresh rate, including 120, 100, 75, and 60.

200 ms is like a full react/response time for a human to take action in response to input, our actual sense of time is much finer than what our nervous system can make our muscles do.
I know one person that drove into a light post in the middle of an empty parking lot. Daylight, sober, not texting, not tired, not stunting - they were looking at the exit and simply didn't see the one light post between their car and the exit. "That light came out of nowhere!"

Human car accidents are not news because roughly 100 Americans die in car accidents every day, out of ~15300 car accidents per day.
> James Fadiman is always mentioned in articles on microdosing [...] His approach seems to be more New Age than scientific.

What has he said that strikes you as new agey? Fadiman has been doing rigorous research in the field since before it was made illegal. There are lots of references to his various papers in his book, The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide. There is a section about it in the book, but as I recall it's not something that people were doing in the 60s so there are not yet any good studies to cite, and the effects are all reported as anecdotal. If given the opportunity, I am confident that Fadiman would be happy to conduct such studies. It's worth noting that in the book, again based on memory, microdosing is referred to as being in the 10-20ug range, so it's interesting that the article says <10. I agree with you that <10 seems too low for anything, but when you're closer to 20 there are subtle effects, really just at the threshold of being active, which I suppose is the point of a microdose. The "museum dose," where one can feel definite changes in thought patterns and perceptions but which does not result in overt hallucinations, is only around 37-45ug. It really is amazing how potent this substance is.

> I think the culture around microdosing is generally unhelpful and possibly dangerous to those of us that want to see real research into therapeutic psychedelics.

Dangerous how? It seems unlikely to take away from the renewed scientific focus on therapeutic use that is finally being allowed to continue. Or are you suggesting that microdosing culture could somehow delegitimize this? I'd think if anything it's a call for more research of lower doses in addition to the higher doses now being studied.
I stopped using Linux for personal before this systemd thing was an issue, but I was considering it again now that I might get a new computer and because I've got an app running on a pre-systemd Linux VPN. Since I have very little first hand experience with systemd, I have some questions.

1. Is it actually that bad for a desktop?

2. Is it actually that bad for a server?

3. If yes to either, how suitable are the alternatives (e.g. Gentoo, Slack, or BSD)?
Me (as he gets ready to unlock): "Well, it's Apple, so it's got to work better than that horrendous alpha version of facial recognition on that POS Samsung Note...oops, guess not."

There isn't one. After 30 years of trying to distance themselves from Redmond, Apple has subscribed to the Microsoft School of Counting.
I just find it hard to believe that there is system where it's OK for a financial company to open a bank account or credit card in someone's name without verifying that person's identity and then still hold that person accountable. From whatever I know about identity theft it's up to the victim to prove that he/she hasn't opponent the account.
Yep, it was a prepaid visa, the "feature" of it was that I could recharge it in an hour or less (the time a bitcoin transaction was confirmed).
The 40% reduction in accident rate was the result of the NTHSA investigation: https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/19/nhtsas-full-final-investig...

"It’s essentially as good as result as Tesla can have hoped for from the U.S. traffic safety agency’s investigation, which took place over the last six months. Reuters reported earlier on Thursday that the investigation would not result in a recall of Tesla vehicles, but the full findings show that in fact, the federal regulatory body found plenty to praise while conducting its inquiry.

The investigation does conclude with a minor admonition that Tesla could perhaps be more specific about its system limitations in its driver-assist features, but acknowledges that all required information is present and available to drivers and vehicle owners."
Ah, interesting, thanks!
There are a few machines with a good build quality to run Linux on:
Dell Inspiron 7000 series and Dell XPS series come to mind

Maybe the upcoming Xiaomi Mi laptop too.
The model launched two years ago (Apple TV 4) remains at $149. That hardware hasn't gotten cheaper at all in two years?

The spec-bumped 4k one is $179.

It should have been $99/$149.

> Are there any examples of the book of closures that couldn't be better written as classes?

The book itself doesn't really have a lot of "representative" Lox code since it's so focused on implementing the interpreters themselves. But certainly, in other languages with first-class functions, callbacks are very common and would be painfully cumbersome to do with classes. Note, for example, that Java has long supported anonymous inner classes, but still added lambdas later because the former were so annoying to use in many cases.

> Anecdotally, coming from C/C++ to Python, I've never missed local scopes, because I simply keep my functions small.

C and C++ have local scopes. Would you expect this to not have an error?

main() {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
// ...
}
printf("%d\n", i); // <-- ?
}

> in C there is a very large cost to creating a function: reasoning about ownership/memory management (and the lack of ability to return non-primitives without out-params.)

There is also the overhead of the call itself. In the kind of performance-critical code often written in C/C++, that can matter too. Good compilers will inline when it makes sense, but those heuristics aren't perfect.

> I know this is programming language heresy, but I honestly don't see a real need for closures if you have classes.

You don't need them, but once you get used to them, they sure are handy. Implicitly closing over locals in the surrounding scope is a little magical, but it's a really convenient kind of magic than generally seems to help more than it harms.

All the world's Smalltalk, Scheme, C#, Ruby, Dart, Scala, Swift, JavaScript, Kotlin etc. programmers probably aren't wrong in liking them. (Although, as a language designer, it's of course fun and potentially rewarding to deliberately try to get off the beaten path.)

> if you believe in the Go-style async is better, then what are some natural uses of closures? This is an honest question -- as I said I could be biased coming from languages that don't have them.

The bread and butter use cases I see are:

1. Modifying collections. map(), filter(), etc. are so much clearer and more declarative than imperatively transforming a collection.

2. Callbacks for event handlers or the command pattern. (If you're using a framework that isn't event based, this may not come up much.)

3. Wrapping up a bundle of code so that you can defer it, conditionally, execute it, execute it in a certain context, or do stuff before and after it. Python's context stuff handles much of this for you, but then that's another language feature you have to explicitly add.
First keyboard-less tablet?
You can price anything in anything, nobody prohibits you for exchanging a dining table for a sonnet or a Python script for a set of numbers. Legal tender means if you wanted money, and somebody pays you in US currency, you can not force them to pay in something else. Moreover, if you did agree to write a sonnet as payment, and did not do, and you get sued, and assigned damages - you can pay these damages in US currency and it would be deemed settled. I.e. any debt that is paid in US currency would be considered settled. You can still pay in whatever you like, as long as both parties agree.
You simply stop talking to them. In the real world when people begin spouting nonsense they are ejected from the community almost immediately. At elite institutions claims to not "believe" the Western synthesis are met with global permaban. (You literally have to leave the West and go to Russia or Africa.)

Online of course the situation is very different. Bans ate impossible and people are free to believe everything.

>>I don't know, "couldn't replicate this other major study" seems like it would qualify as outstanding scientific importance. It all depends how you frame "scientific importance". Replication seems like it should be high on the list of scientific goals.

You're missing the other side of it. Here's what's not interesting: Replicating the results of a study already believed to be accurate. Yet it is vitally important.

I acknowledge physics models are more reliable. That doesn't mean a lack of certainty in some facets make economics not valuable. I'm disagreeing with you, not ignoring.

Social sciences are full of unknowns, too, but that doesn't mean they have no applications in the real world. Economics are no different.
>Belief should not be optional in the face of well-supported scientific conclusions.

What if I don't trust the scientists doing the work, or the larger system that they work in? What if I find the common incarnation of the entire field lacking? I do not trust much published by sociology, regardless of how many studies show results, because of the political nature of the field.

On the other hand, physicist who say they found a new particle? I don't have an once of doubt (though maybe I should have a little).

Part of the problem is that the very language used in sociology is crafted to reached the desired findings. Once the integrity of an entire field has been lost, what can be done to restore it?
To me, it honestly looks and seems like an Android phone with IoS. Which I guess isn't such a bad thing.
"In 2013, 32,719 people died in motor vehicle collisions." (fro: https://www.millerandzois.com/car-accident-statistics.html) And you think it's a big deal that 2 crashes have happened?
Also that truck driver broke the laws of the road and caused that mans death. That man broke the laws of the road and caused his own death. Pretending that the computers are to blame is silly. Put the blame on the people responsible not a computer.

BTW same with the barrier incident. That was a driver failing to be vigilant. It was his fault for leaving autopilot on in a non-standard environment.
If you use Autopilot for any length of time and believe that you don't need to be paying attention, then I'd suggest that you're responsible for whatever fate befalls you.

Autopilot 2 keeps you in lane, does traffic-aware cruise control, and can do lane changes. That's it. No more, no less.

It sometimes gets spooked by shadows. I've had it brake sharply when going under bridges on the motorway, because of the shadow on the road. I've had it mis-read lane markers (in understandable circumstances; the old lines had been removed but the marks they left still contrasted with the tarmac).

If anything, I find Autopilot 2 to require too much hand-holding - literally! I rest my right hand gently on the bottom-right of the wheel when Autopilot is engaged, resting my wrist on my knee, which is also how I drive regular cars on the motorway. This isn't enough for Autopilot to think I've got my hands on the wheel, so it's constantly bugging me, and I have to wiggle the wheel to tell it I'm there.

Apparently some Model 3s have been seen with driver-facing cameras. Eye-tracking seems like a much better solution to me.

I love Autopilot. I recently had to drive ~500 miles on motorways in a thing that explodes ancient liquidised organic matter, and it was an absolute chore. Autopilot is ace when used as intended, and great in traffic jams.
If you have to ask, you probably don't care.

If it was that bad for the average consumer, the major mainline distros wouldn't have all adopted them.
The naming and the copy about team communication made me think it’s more than it is. Not suggesting it has low utility, although I wish it did more than add search to a hosted mailing list... google groups has search (in an old interface). Seems like there’s a lot of opportunity to fix emails weaknesses here if the product is truly focused on topics and teams.
All this time I'm wondering... Why should I buy this phone? Honestly, there's noting convincing in it.
Samsung's face recognition software was hacked from day one. Not only did, it was hacked with a 2D picture, something that was also shown possible since 2011, when Google first introduced face recognition. It's like Samsung didn't even bother to improve it at all.

Being first with a crappy solution is not exactly ideal, either. We'll see if Apple's solution is that much better - I don't really trust any face recognition tech, but the 1:1,000,000 FAR ratio vs 1:50,000 for fingerprint looks promising at least.

I'm not sure that it would be seen as equivalent here given the overall push away from net neutrality over the last decade.

I think you're confusing "states" with cells on the tape. They are completely independent. All turing machines have an unbounded tape, but a well-defined number of states that act as an automaton controlling the head on the tape.
Where this article "phailed" persuasion-wise was in its archtypes -- the hard-working, high-pressure ER surgeon v. trust-fund slacker baby. Really?

How about changing the dramatis personae a little -- say, make the wage-earner a VP of product development at a soon-to-be-purchased startup (straddling both wage-earning and investing, maybe) v. Warren Buffett?
Certainly, it's a banking problem. My problem was not to list pending transactions, though, it was not knowing how much I could use at any given moment with my card (because it's unrelated to my balance). The cryptocurrency part was to allow for fast reload (due to fast transfers), but anything that allows this (without hitting an other card rate limit, obviously) would do.
I understand that people are interested in avoiding legal restrictions, although a fully transparent ledger might not be the best way to do that.

Can you show some price comparisons for transfers?

Your other points are worthless without those two being true.
