How often do you think this kind of thing happens with regular taxis? public transport?

My gut says it's extremely common, you just are not hearing about it.
You mean, the ones who have money to pay the congestion charge. :)
> How does, e.g., POWER8 compare? (And POWER9, soon?)

POWER8 is not well suited for HPC workloads as their vector instructions (VMX/AltiVec) are only 128-bit wide vs Intel's latest Skylake Xeon CPUs have vector instructions (AVX512) that are 512-bit wide.

For non HPC workloads (e.g. integer arithmetic) the POWER8 CPUs were somehow competitive with Intel's CPUs when they were first released in 2015 but today AMD and Intel's CPUs are clearly faster.

From what I can tell CPU enthusiasts were not impressed by the POWER8 CPU architecture.

"Uber are the ones trying to get their license renewed"

They're not the only ones.

There are around 2,400 private hire operator licences in issue currently, so about 40 are renewed per month.[0]

Whether laws and other regulations are enforced uniformly or selectively is a matter of concern to all of us.

5 common interview mistakes by recruiters
And yet, Apple has been pushing me in a direction I don't want to go with their recent OS X versions. I paid a lot of money for my mackbook and was quite happy with Lion, but was recently forced to upgrade because apparently Lion is way too out of date.

So now I'm on Sierra, and I absolutely hate it. I thought it'd mostly just be uglier, but it bugs me with updates I don't want or need but am not allowed to ignore. And I hate their in-your-face notifications blocking an important part of my screen. (How about at the bottom next to the dock? Or in the menu bar? Just not over an active working window.)
I meant from a UI/UX prospective.
maybe "basic computer vision"? dilate/erode/open/close filters come from computer vision afaik.
Yea, looks like the article is just wrong. Thanks for clarifying Brent!
Use ML. Gather a bunch of tweets and learn a model that classifies tweets (job listing / not job listing). Then use the model as a filter. You can use it in concert with your current implementation: if the tweet contains any of your keywords, there's no need to invoke the model. Hope that helps.
It was unintentional, but I think both usages apply. If I hired a professional photographer for something and they show up with an iPhone I'm going to laugh them to the door and look for someone else.
No, it's a form of business. Big companies often drive the price down, so that they can enter a market dominated by entrenched players. They are able to do this by using their profits from somewhere else. In this case, the money was not directly earned by Uber, but the investors funding Uber.
Well, it doesn't mention the GMB union that covers taxis, and the union's support for the Mayor of London.
That an interesting watch rotation to stand. At first I dreaded that one because you get less sleep. But the upside is that 0400-0800 is a quiet time aboard a ship, and 1600-2000 things are usually winding down as well.

And if you're standing that watch that means you're not standing port and starboard (i.e. 4 hours on 4 hours off) so, could be worse!

It's a way to refine their models. A systematic model-based representation of data is basically also a generator of that data.

Why is that? Blame Kolmogorov. There are deep connections between compression, serialization, and computation. An optimal compression scheme is a serialization and the Turing-complete program to decode it. For example: you can compress pi into a few lines of algorithm plus a starting constant like 4.
This is already mentioned and discussed right here on this very page.
These kind of fundamental methods in computer vision are commonly called "image processing".

"Computer vision" typically refers to computations that have an interpretative component (image analysis), i.e. programs that actually "see" something. Interpretation basically refers to the inference of the state of the "world" (or a part thereof) from an image. Image processing is often used in pre-processing for computer vision applications, but it also has many other purposes which do not need image analysis, such as in photo and video editing, as well as in generative applications, e.g. 3D engines and video games (which can in some sense be seen as the inverse of vision). Therefore, image processing is not exactly a subset of computer vision.
10 gigabits is about 1.2 gigabytes. PCIe bandwidth is about 1 gigabyte per lane. A 10gb card does not need 8 PCIe lanes.
You've got an argument as to why one Uber car is less congestion-causing than one black cab, because of these regulations. And a list of reasons you don't like black cabs.

What you haven't got is evidence that Uber, by making cab travel cheaper, aren't making things a whole lot worse.

Black cabs are a distraction in this argument. It's Uber vs not-Uber. Trying to frame it as purely a protectionist matter is misleading.

>Considering that, as a nation, American has a foundation in its constitution that surpasses pretty much every other nation

What? No! America's constitution was designed to establish a "natural aristocracy" of major landowners! Our much-vaunted First Amendment never stopped them from putting Eugene Debs in jail, you know.
They are always either Samsung 840 or 850 PRO - so according to that test they should last much longer than they do. But they don't - I suspect it's the nature of what we're doing that's killing them, it's almost all random writes, very little sequential writing. Techreport did sequential writes - so each cell was only written once per pass, while when I write 1TB of data to my drive majority of it might be focused in the same area - sure broken cells they will get moved around but the drive will run out of cells to relocate to after a while.
Data is going to be much more secure on Google servers than anywhere else, imo.
"Enhance" is real. When will this stuff trickle into lower level law enforcement?
It is reasonable to believe that these goals are both in mind! Edit: there's a new Diesel charge coming in soon, to reduce the extra pollution from these vehicles entering central london, for cars as well as lorries. In all the communications emanating from politicians and TFL it seems that numbers and pollution are both problems to be solved. Note also the new 'Boris' buses were designed as hybrids to improve air quality, even though in practice they don't work well and run on diesel mostly.

Edit: I was merely making the point that if charities were more transparent. More people would donate (whilst possibly becoming more efficient in the process).

As for regards to mentioning the illness. To have something that makes a major impact on one's life, yet not be passionate about related charities, illustrates that there is a problem with many of today's charities.
Which notifications are you talking about? I have no such experience using Sierra.
There is no statistic difference between low earning and high earning women in the behavior of "marry up". There is also no difference between countries that have high income difference and those with smaller income difference. Marrying up is a global cultural pattern, identical to the pattern of men marrying a younger woman.
I only have a Windows PC for gaming. I'd gladly switch to Linux if all games were also available there. (I tried wine and stuff like that ages ago, but that was just a pain.) Windows has effectively a monopoly on gaming PCs.

Correct. Until we have a better economic system, this is how authorities often make incentives.
Well between the established facts with Uber and some internet person's "gut feeling" I guess I would discount the latter.

I can't even believe people are making excuses for Uber like this.
This press release wasn't supposed to go live for a while, but somebody broke the embargo, forcing Intel's hand.

So the availability lag might be worse than normal.
If this means that Google is attempting to shift to having its customers be anyone but advertisers, this is probably a good thing for everyone. There GSuite product is pretty good and even has reasonable privacy controls. I want to like Google more than I can with their current loyalty to the advertisers paying the bills.

But, it's not dishonest in that case. If people are free to add partners as they like - then you can not _ensure_ that one of their partners (or their partner's partners, or partner's partner's partners, you get the point) respects that.

-Webmail was already established as a "thing" when Gmail came out, even in Universities.

-Gmail wasn't particularly special from a UI perspective and was comparable to other offerings at the time.

-There was plenty of other web apps already that weren't Google products. In fact, I, personally, was writing one at the time GMail came in out.

Using image synthesis at all can't be used for up-rezing CCTV imagery, the output is a fabrication and the researchers have all said so. People imagining bad use cases shouldn't be relied on. ;) If an investigator used this to track down criminals, they are the ones getting into deep water and making assumptions.
That is an interesting way to look at it. Thank you for the reading suggestions!
However it seems to me that this is only a problem for 'exclusive' polygamy, of which, one might say, traditional monogamy is just a subtype (the advantage of monogamy being that aproximately 50% of people are male/female, amd mostly hetero)
But wouldn't a 'relaxed'/open approach be at least as good? Among obvious advantages like (presumably) less frustrated expectations, breaking of trust etc, you also wouldn't have to rely on 1:1 matching. People that might otherwise be sexually frustrated may have a chance at least at sexual relations, if perhaps not erotic (in the etymological sense) elationships. (One reason being that one may be less 'selective' when looking for a mate doesn't involve life long commitment)
Also, there could be less conflict and risky behavior (designed to impress) stemming from competition over mates.
"Currently Apple has issues with macOS firmware updates done on networks with proxies."

They had the exact same problem with installing system images via proxied networks a little over a decade ago. I wonder if they're utilizing the same coders.
The Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn
I spent too long trying to get RAISR to work when that paper came out. You can try it out from some Github repos but no one has been able to recreate the results Google presented. I would be hard pressed to say my hires photos looked any better than the originals when scaled up on my iPhone screen.

I do wish they would release the code AND any related training images they used to get those results.
Lastest SSL Vulnerabilities and the MITM Attacks
I made the X11 SimCity code that updates the small map (which usually has only a few pixels changed, but sometimes has many pixels changed) compare the "before" and "after" images and count the differences, and if there were few enough differences, it would sort the changed pixels by color, then send batches of XDrawPoints of each color.

In X11 it is just as expensive to change the foreground color as to draw one dot (since all the overhead is sending the command), but you could efficiently draw a lot of dots of the same color with XDrawPoints, so it was worth it to sort the pixels by color and then draw them in a few same-colored batches, instead of switching colors between each pixel you draw.

I disabled that crazy code for the OLPC port since it was always running locally and XPutImage would always always use the shared memory extension, but in the days when you wanted to run remotely over a slow network, or the local server didn't support the shared memory extension, it was well worth doing all the work of comparing and sorting individual pixels to incrementally update the map!

https://github.com/SimHacker/micropolis/blob/master/micropol...

(I'm sure that code used to work on old 8 bit displays, but for some reason I never bothered to figure out, it was buggy on the OLPC's 24 bit visual, so I #if'ed it out of its misery. That's X11 for you.)

More or less hopelessly entrenched in the Apple ecosystem here, but I totally agree with you. The non-stop annoying notifications was one of the main bullet points that I listed when leaving Windows 10 years ago, and now they've finally found me again..
>Not a single person with cancer or aids can just decide to not have their disease.

Neither can addicts the vast majority of addicts, that's the point.
Should it? The accuracy of the pictures were dismal.
I did the same thing, and quite enjoyed it. Not high art, but well done entertainment.
I thought I was pretty clear that I'm not talking about Uber drivers, but Uber passengers. It's clear that this job will cease to exist at some point. However the need to commute will always be relevant. Consider that the same organizations that lobby against Uber today would lobby twice as hard against self-driving taxis. And it's not because they're "unsafe".
Well, it is literally on rails...
Hopefully never, but I'm sure someone will see this and try!

(Because these kind of techniques aren't really enhancing the images in a way that gives you new and useful information: they are taking the low-res images as input, and giving you a plausible high-res image as output, based on it's training data. It is NOT however trying to say "this is the ACTUAL high res image that generated this low-res image"
Is there simpler way to implement it? This is a library, but aren't more common ways to do this?
Hopefully never. This does not enhance the image - it makes up a plausible imaginary image.

EDIT:
Furthermore the range of plausible imaginary images that match a given input is high (infinite?).
Would be nice if the image processing was implemented locally. The operations used don't seem too complicated for javascript + canvas.

>The reason someone carries a DSLR today is because of the optics, the speed and the control mechanisms. Having shutter speed, aperture, white balance etc. at your fingertips when shooting. Having the ability to switch from a 105mm portrait lens to a 20mm fisheye.

I can see that in 5 years smartphone speed, coupled with advanced phase detection AF, will make smartphone as fast as today's pro DSLR bodies (the likes of the D5, Canon 1D line etc..)

The need to quickly adjust settings(f/stop, shutter, etc..) can be greatly diminished by having even more advanced software. Like a bokeh/portrait mode, where the lens is kept wide open and the phone maintains all other settings, include fake bokeh via depth map.

Different lens focal lengths is a big differentiator. However, if the sensor has sufficiently high resolution, the software can crop the sensor up an extend to largely simulate telephoto. Granted, compression won't be achieved, but it's largely there...

5 years is a long time.

Nothing prevents you from using a competitor's core apps on Android. Those apps could be even better at stopping tracking than Apple's. On iOS, you're stuck with whatever maps or browser Apple decrees.
I am not following your defense of Uber. Let’s assume sexual assault is equally common among Uber drivers and regular taxi drivers.

It is still not material to the complaint. The complaint is that regulators are getting adequate and timely reporting from regular taxi companies so they can investigate. But not from Uber. This is leading to unnecessary safety issues for Uber riders.
So then black cabs drive around non-stop, even without passengers? I couldn't find any information about this online.

I still don't see why you choose to compare Uber with black cabs. Uber drivers in London are minicabs.
Experienced the same issue, please have a look at Privacy->Analytics. If you (like me) find a lot of errors related to mediaserverd, then 'reset network settings' will likely fix it (like it fixed the lag on my 6S after upgrading to iOS 11).
Abandoned at Burning Man, Bicycles Now Head for Houston and the Caribbean
That's a good question. It looked to me like there was simply no cycle lane before the collision point. If there's no cycle lane, then for better or worse, the default is to do what you'd do in a car: Wait behind the red bus.

If they were actually in a cycle lane, then of course the correct thing to do would be to ride in it. Either way, nobody deserves to get doored, and if it were me in the car, I'd have been extremely cautious about getting out.

I have to flip the picture left-to-right in my mind, to get a sense of it. Where those cyclists were riding, a narrow slot at the edge of a lane, is possibly near the top of my list of situations to avoid. Buses make me even more nervous. I'd have hopped up onto the sidewalk, or found a different route. Of course that's easy to say, not knowing if there are even any alternatives.
Slow but fun.
It's sweet and it has a taste that many find pleasing and it's hard to copy exactly at home, that's the added value. You might as well compare steak with tofu, cinema with sitting in a park, playing videogames with playing chess. These things don't cost the same thing even though they arguably serve the same purpose. Some people might prefer one over the other. Saying that soda is basically water is like saying that going to the movies is basically like sitting in a park for two hours.

Tap vs. bottled water is more perplexing because it's basically the same thing in both cases. It's more like going out of your way to go to a paying park instead of going to the one next door even though they're basically the same.

I hardly drink any soda by the way, so it's not like I'm arguing that they have great value.

> I would have assumed that AI/ML would be increasingly used in mundane tasks. Like quality control for small factories. You don't need PhDs, you just need people who are familiar with some large commonly used APIs.

CV has been common in SMD pick-and-place machines for 15 (probably 20, 25) years. For industrial applications, hardware size and price essentially do not matter, so the new AI approaches do not bring anything fundamentally new to the table (industrial solution vendors will eventually integrate smaller and cheaper solutions, but price is just not a huge discriminator here). What's interesting is the scaling down that is happening and making AI viable for consumer applications where budgets and device size are restricted.
Try 'reset networking settings', this fixed it for me. Appears to be related to mediaserverd crashes (check Privacy->Analytics if that is the case on your 6S as well).
Why is space a critical variable? the sensor in question is tiny. The rest are software and the phone's CPU.
