That took long enough. I used Firefox primarily for a year or so starting in 2015 but chrome won me back real quick. Let's be honest, Chrome was to only good browser. Hopefully quantum changes this.
Huh, apparently. This will be an interesting conversation at the next lab meeting.
End-to-end machine learning on the GPU with GOAI
The lack of LastPass is a pain, however it made me discover BitWarden, which is free, open source, has 2FA, has working firefox & chrome plugins, and iOS/Android apps. It is also trivial to import your LastPass data into bitwarden. It's definitely worth giving it a try.

(The LastPass firefox app also seemed to use a lot of CPU for some reason, I have no idea how that was possible?)

Note: It doesn't support all of LastPass features, like per-website extra data, which may be a problem for some users. There's also no Safari plugin.
Project management: a surefire way to kill your software product

Yeah, I completely agree that this behavior is not sane. It is designed behavior, perhaps designed so with good intentions, but foolish assumption nonetheless (that the “undefined” behaviors would be predictable if left truly undefined).

So yeah, I’m pretty happy to call this a “design bug” in the entire language. Those kinds of bugs are hard to fix, because you need the whole C++ committee to fix this, and we all know how bad design-by-committee performs.

So just switch to Rust :)

So true. Being from the UK, I was used to seeing UV of 4 or 5 on the weather report. I assumed this was a 1-10 scale.

Then I got to Australia and UV is 13 or 14!

The US EPA scale runs to 11 [1].

Yeah, that was my point. Illegal immigrants are often exploited in similar ways, absolutely true, that is why officials don't use all the resources available to go after them, despite the rhetoric. It says nothing about their reasoning being just or altruistic, (which it isn't).
This treaty should also inform people on how to approach the current CO2 situation:

You need an alternative! Telling people to not use the product (conserve) will NOT work.

All those UN treaties about reducing this or that are a total waste of time, and are just there to make people feel like we are doing something.

They should do one thing, and one thing only: Fund research on alternatives.
And such a person does not qualify as reasonable.
Even if you do, the bikes are not going to kill you.

This is not true. It is less likely than with automobiles, but pedestrians are killed by bicycles from time to time. Obviously bicycle-bicycle accidents that happen in traffic are also dangerous.
I remember reading somewhere about some organization (not Google) hoping to map the entire ocean floor by sometime in the 2020s, but it is truly a gargantuan undertaking. As you say, we have far better mappings of the moon than we do of the ocean, and for good reason.

The data report [0] from the MH370 search offers good insight for how little we know of the ocean, and why it is so difficult to map in its entirety. Two points really stood out to me from their findings: 1) the current quality of our topographical maps and other images are low quality and mostly unhelpful for any sort of real research or analysis; 2) it took 3 years of dedicated masses of search teams from multiple countries just to produce quality maps of a tiny stretch of one part of one ocean.

To put numbers behind it, the MH370 report referenced above calculated their entire mapping efforts this way: "The search for MH370 collected 278,000 square kilometres of bathymetry data within the search area and 710,000 square kilometres of data in total, which includes the data acquired in transit between port and the search area. It is one of the largest marine surveys ever conducted." That's a lot of time (3 years), money ($160M, granted not all spent on mapping), and people, for a good chunk of sea floor. But the oceans comprise 360,000,000 square kilometers. Three years of dedicated, coordinated searching in the "largest marine survey" ever only mapped 0.2% of the ocean floor. So who knows what sort of motivation, incentives, time, and organizations it will take to get 100%.

> “I sold at $5,000 or $4,980,” he said. “Then three weeks later I’m trying to buy it in the low $3,000s. If you’re good at that and you’re a trading junkie, it’s a lot of fun.”

Why not make your trades public then? You can make them publicly encrypted and then publish the keys later if you want to brag.

And is he talking about a small trade here? 4980 was the maxima (the tip), so little money changed hand at that price.

I take any person who says that as a fraudster selling to the ignorant. If you can make, with persistence, 30% returns in a few days then why raise capital in the first place?

The total mismanagement of customers and expectations after the hack.

It would be naive to say the just the clear oversights in management were solely to blame - you can do everything right and still have data breaches. Far more intricate attacks could be perfected had the current vulnerabilities been resolved.

You can argue "its a big company" all you want and that the responsibility shifted. However, at that position, setting up a shoddy website where customers can see if they were impacted, then request/pay for their own credit freeze, is NOT SUFFICIENT handling of the situation and betrays a long historied past of never having to had handle a situation so grave.

Lives and livelihoods are at stake here. This isn't just a senior software engineer or technical director job where messups only breach trust. A crappy application developer could release buggy software, but one can "delete the app" at the end of the day. You can't uncork this bottle. This is a security position over some of the most personal data available on US citizens.

If there is ANY belief that this person "fell up" through a security role, that needs to be identified.
> You're leveling the criticism

No, I'm not. I'm offering a suggestion. You're being absurdly thin-skinned on someone else's behalf.

> Redefining all of these things in every post would get annoying very fast.

So put it in a header so it automatically appears at the top of every post. As I suggested originally.

This is simply good practise for any project where you want to attract people who haven't heard of your software before. If you don't care about these people, then a mailing list is a better idea so you can hide it away from everyone. Again, just a suggestion...
A painted strip in the rightmost car lane is the worst bike-lane solution, it's too easy for cars to drift into it. It doesn't feel safe, especially as they're often too narrow.

Proper, separated lanes, with kerbstones between both the cars and the pedestrians is best. It's also the most expensive.

Insanity is related to the ego mind. The more control the ego mind has then the less input and influence the heart has - the less empathy exists and the more willingness to cause harm as a valid survival mechanism. It's really quite a scary proposition to go against the wished upon status quo of people and organizations who are like this - who become comfortable with this.

This behaviour seems only steered away through fear of getting caught. If there is little fear of being caught or of being prosecuted, then this behaviour will be as rampant as it can be without calling too much attention - or those like journalists who do call attention to it will also make the list to be assassinated/murdered in the most extreme cases. There are more covert things people could do to simply ruin someone's life by doing actions indirectly.
This is what I do too. At the very least I'll open a few files, launch some terminals and cd into the requisite directories, start the development server, etc.

I also highly recommend trying the same with exercise. On days when I am sleep-deprived or too sore to do something more strenuous like lifting or sprinting, I take an hour long walk and then almost always feel rejuvenated by the next day. It really helps because you'll still feel like you haven't broken your routine.
I'm saying that it doesn't much matter. WordPress is the largest player in the web platform ecosystem. The choices they make have huge consequences. Them choosing to use one library over another directly contributes to thousands of more developers using that library. The choice doesn't need to be transitive because developers using the platform don't have a choice of library -- they go along with whatever the platform people are using.

Do you know how the performance of GDScript execution compares to something like Python embedded in an engine where the more costly operations are run in compiled C or C++ code? Or even how the real Python performance in Godot compares to the GDScript performance?

I tried to find this out, but the one "benchmark" I found was somewhat dubious. The Godot documentation claims that GDScript has all sorts of advantages over using other scripting languages that sound qualitatively superior, but it lacks quantitative comparisons.
Many people have upgraded to either Kaby Lake or Ryzen. There are rumors that Intel aims people who have not upgraded for more than 5+ years.

However the current generation will add two more extra cores with slightly better single-threaded performance for the same price. i7's and i5's will have 6 physical cores and i3's will have 4 physical cores. On multithreaded performance there is a huge capability increase resulting from the extra cores and threads compared to the latest generation.

Motherboards are yet to be released, and people are expecting higher prices in the beginning due to a potential increased demand. We'll see what happens.
> Timing the market isn't as hard in a sustained bull market, because being right %50 of the time still results in returns. When Bitcoin makes all time highs, selling some is an easy strategy, and then when some random news hits and it drops, or whales start throwing weight around, then you can buy in at a discount like this guy did.

This speaks like someone who hasn't traded bitcoin, at least recently. I'll tell you that the non-stop jump from 900 to 3.000 hit very bad the very best of traders. That's an event where you lose money even though we are still in a bull-market. Now think how much you'll lose when the tables turn (bull market to bear market).

Trading is hard business.

Yes though in this [0] teardown there's a comment at the bottom that makes it sound like there's an easy connector where the SSD CPU connection can be accessed which would probably allow non-destructive imaging without involving the CPU so no userland software could protect against imaging.

> The funny connector to nowhere is the connector to tap into the SSD. When the Apple connector is mounted (as supplied) it connects the CPU to the SSD. When removed the signals for the SSD can be accessed.

One thing I'd be interested to learn is, how much of what makes the difference between an above average chess player and a Master or a Grandmaster can be tied to better decision making after looking 3 or 5 moves ahead, and how much is the Master/Grandmaster's ability to look 10+ moves ahead?

I think that's probably true of all biking, but do you know if that's true for biking in NYC specifically? Also, if there's a 100% chance of a 1 year increase in lifespan, but a 3% chance of a 33 year loss, would you take it? If you are optimizing for maximum years over a large population the answer is yes, but I'm only optimizing for one life. It's also not necessarily true that e.g. age 50 -> 51 is equal in value with age 80 -> 81.

Of course what an archeologist studies in due to the interaction on many different drivers, but a main one is novelty of the find.

Where do you live? I'm in Manhattan, and people rarely cycle on the sidewalk here. There's simply no room to do so, as there's so many pedestrians. You end up going more slowly than if you stayed on the street where you belong in nearly all circumstances.

Don't be too mad at the cyclists, though. Usually they're doing it because the city isn't providing the proper level of bike infrastructure. With more high quality bike lanes that people feel safe using, you'll see a lot fewer cyclists on sidewalks. It works in Manhattan.
> But I've also had multiple encounters with bicyclists who feel they are entitled to switch back and forth between a wheeled vehicle moving significantly above normal walking speeds and a pedestrian who just happens to be on a bicycle. Usually with no notice and as is convenient for them. Not infrequently such enhanced-pedestrians can top 20 mph barreling down the sidewalk.

because they can. trying to pigeonhole cyclists as either cars or pedestrians is exactly why so many confrontations occur. its not that a cyclists prefer sidewalks as they are horrible to bike on (bumpy, uneven, inconsistent, obstacled), its that on some roads a distracted driver can mean near certain death. Its not irresponsible, its moving a 20 pound object around 100-200 lb people (if pedestrians cant be avoided) instead of holding their own against 3 ton cages.

Are there douchey cyclists? yes. But just try getting down one block of SF only in the bike lane. You’ll be stuck behind a ups truck or broken muni for days or pop a tire on a broken bottle some hobo left there or get hit in the face with a door.

Bitwarden also doesn’t support per login “re-enter master password”.
He was right a few years ago. But now there are several groups who have developed efficient capable online learning systems that don't require much data or iteration. When these and other existing types of cutting edge neural network advances such as techniques for avoiding catastrophic forgetting are combined with incremental training in diverse environments with general inputs and outputs, I believe we will see general purpose intelligence.

I believe we will see some demonstrations of AGI in the next two years. At first they will likely be general but unimpressive and not really as capable as animals or humans, and so people will dismiss them. But quickly the capabilities demonstrated will increase and before 2023-2024 there will likely be consensus that it has been achieved.

Look at systems like this one https://github.com/ogmacorp/EOgmaNeo. It's a whole other type of NN that Kasparov and others aren't even aware of.
There are cases where doing a join in code can make sense. E.g. when you already have a whole table cached in application memory, and the primary purpose of the join is more ORM-like and not any kind of aggregation or grouping on a joined column.

"I have never been aware that such a competition between datastore designs exists"

Good! There certainly shouldn't be. Wish I could say the same. Magpie developers, people who want to seem edgy and forward looking, people who like making others look backwards at meetings, people who are worried they'll look like dinosaurs, people who've been around the block long enough to know an approach is totally unnecessary for their project but will be required on the resume for the next project. Trust me, they were all out there, in force.

And of course, many data stores that aren't SQL are absolutely great for the task. Try to solve the 6 degrees of separation problem with SQL joins, then do it with a graph database. There are all kinds of applications that weren't a great fit for a relational model, and many that are. This article does mention the moment where NoSql was defined as "Not Always SQL" (and dismisses it with "nice try"), but honestly, if this had been the approach up front, it would have saved us a lot of grief.

Probably. Maybe. I hope. Oh, who am I kidding. All that stuff I described above would have happened anyway.
On one hand you have the tech sector who likes to run things "fast and dirty". Regulation? Something made to disrupt! Lot's of homemade hackers outside the "established order" doing great things.

On the other hand you have rigorous protocol with professional regulated engineers held responsible for their actions and the consequences of design.

I've always been a bit of a proponent for bringing these regulations into tech jobs when it matters on public safety but the tech groups can swing wildly in pro/anti favor of such direction on a day to day basis. You definitely lose a bit of the "do it quick and break things" attitude which is responsible for a lot of great product but the stability and rigor is what benefits imo.
Yes, you're right. I didn't plan well for this amount of traffic from HN. I've increased resources for the servers now, I hope you will go back and review it. Thanks.
Im surprised to hear about bike and pedestrian collision in a city. I bike each day and commonly see on bike roads everything from strollers, wheelchairs, to kids who has only barely learned to walk. Each of those would be a fatal if they had a collision with a 20mph biker, and yet not a single death have been reported in my city as far as I know. Its a bit strange, given the number of potential times that this situation occur, especially during winter half year when the road should be extra dangerous.

So I must ask, how much of a freak accident is a traffic death caused by a biker crashing into a pedestrian? I recall looking into statistics for it a while back, but it seems that only data I could find was death caused by people falling down from bikes or into cars, not crashing into other people. The national statistics here in Sweden over road accident, the one which famously has a zero death goal, do include bikes and car collision (3 people died last year) but has no data at all over deaths caused by bike hitting people. Assuming that number is 0.

Is it possible that the 20-something woman killed was a freak accident? 20mph is about 50% faster than the legal limit of a electric bike, would be classified as a illegal moped at those speed if it has a engine, and it is even above the legal limit for cars inside Swedish cities. A bit unusual to see in city traffic.
