What is the interaction with zooming?
You can't just deny zooming. Users want it, and if you disable it, someone will still monkey-patch it in.

A first-order solution is to have 'zooming' be pure scaling. Essentially, instead of ISO defining a milimetre, the user defines it, and it defaults to the ISO definition.
This essentially means the system has to handle a screen-size that could change at any given time. Unless you are willing to accept interpolation.

But then, what happens when real-distance starts to matter. A stupid example is a ruler app, that obviously breaks upon scaling.
Generally, any app that depends on `real hardware' interacting with the screen, this is going to be an issue.
Specifically, this is an issue for touch screens. Even more so because 'human hands' are `real hardware'.
If two buttons are rendered 2cm apart, and the user scales by a factor of 2x, that would put the buttons 4cm apart. That might be too much of a spread to use comfortably.
In general, does it really make sense to treat a 14" screen scaled at 2x as a 7" screen? What about a 15" screen scaled at 3x?

If you accept the above as a problem, there are many solutions, but they are either a lot of work, or require 'monkey patching'.
Sadly, this means the quote "Resolution independent graphics is a solved problem." not quite right. At least insofar as any chosen system will have trade-offs between ease of development and ease of use.

Taking a pessimistic view:
Those trade-offs will inevitably fall towards development on occasion, which will train users to think this is stupid anyway. Thus developers get less benefit, and we will see weird monkey patching to attempt to fix this. Maybe at some point, someone walks in and declares "this is a mess, it should have been done right from the start".
His recent arrays one was really great.
Nope. Well, I’m sure we learned simple adders, again...Boolean algebra.

Everything else I learned on the job. If I had gone into board design, I’m sure a lot more would have been relevant.

Many places the chip designer is also the board designer, but sadly that is not the case here.
this is crazy funny, I can't tell if its sarcastic parody or a genuine homage of some kind. That somehow boosts the funniness in the straight face dimension a lot however.
APUs pre-Ryzen weren't too bad, used to have a VM box running an A10 before I put a 1500X in it. Price wise they're very competitive, and AMD is happy to fab semi-custom silicon for anyone, hence how they were the primary vendor for all consoles for years.
there is a much less visible, less obvious problem that would be seriously exacerbated by pursuing this.

most software, including iOS, OSX, and windows, has been doing antialiasing of fonts with the wrong gamma for years. this wrong gamma has been masking another problem: scaling a glyph shape without adjusting its weight is the wrong way to set type at a particular size. up til now, font hinting, and the wrong gamma has fudged the appearance of font weight to be “almost right” on low resolution displays. but on high resolution displays, you begin to see a font’s true weight more accurately, since the effect of wrong gamma and font hinting is significantly reduced. the result is small type sizes appear way more light than it “feels” they should.

Apple chose to solve this in a really unfortunate way for devices with high density displays: it applies a fake bolding effect to approximate the effect of the wrong gamma antialiasing. comically, they apply the wrong amount of fake bold, such that the fake bold affects type set at larger sizes way more than it should.

in conclusion: yes, let’s make 12pt the same everywhere: but we will also need to fix all these other hacks on hacks at the same time.

Interesting.

My interpretation: when writing code for synchronous machines, you are immediately encouraged to construct things that have no notion of spatial locality. But what if programming tools encouraged being mindful of this? Very crudely, a programmer could simply look at a grid of FPGA components, so that program modules correspond to geographic regions on the grid. This is absurdly constricting, though-even electronics schematics jettison the idea of a 1-1 geographic mapping of notation to component.

Is there something in between, though? Something like Unix pipes or CSP, but presented in a geometric layout, that encourages programmers to structure their programs so that information propagates locally throughout, and therefore in principle maps well to asynchronous hardware.

Then there is the idea of referential transparency, which seems to trivialize parallel synthesis, but seems to have nothing to do with spatial locality.
That doesn't make any sense. Just think how much power the engine would have to be able to produce near the redline if it produced anything decent at 5 MPH for that to be true (considering that Tesla's mainstream cars only have 1 gear).

Edit: Just to be clear, a constant torque would imply a linearly increasing power output when increasing the revs. Of course Tesla doesn't have that – what they have is high torque, and thus significant power output already at very low revolutions. A typical small DC electric engine has an almost linearly decreasing torque curve (unless capped), although I don't really know specifics about Tesla's engines.

I'm going to assume you're not familiar with 4chan-like content, rather than trolling, so I'll try to summarise. Some people enjoy disturbing images/videos and are messed up enough to try injecting it in other contexts just for fun. When the previous article mentions something like "A discussion on 4Chan led users to discover a code hidden in the comments sections of some of the videos that led them to a Twitter account." what it likely means is: someone uploaded videos with extra information and then started themselves a spoof discussion that bled to other social networks via controversy seekers.

4chan-like communities are the source of things like pizzagate, raiding other networks to inject disallowed content, or doing things like posting videos of flashing colours on forums for people with epilepsy. Just getting someone reporting on it fuels creation of more videos like this.

It's not that the videos don't exist - it is a problem that kids can run into them by accident via genuine search terms. It's the coded message part, mentioning pizzagate and podesta, mkultra, etc. that's the bullshit part in the aceloewgold article. The simple explanation is that: some weirdos like to create this content and some idiots crave the controversy of making others watch it by accident.

I assume AMD is making these moves to get their products back out there where consumers read their name even when (web-)stores predominantly stock Intel products (I think it's called "mindshare").

Tenish years ago I wrote a pseudorandom number generator from webcam stills. Since I wrote the code in the middle of a midwestern winter, my first solution was a shot of the outside; falling snow. When the snow started to slow down, I moved to using a lava lamp. So to answer your question...falling snow works really well juxtaposed against clouds.

I can't even comprehend what the alternative viewpoint would be. The the universe isn't mathematical. A universe that doesn't obey any system of logical rules.

A universe with true randomness might satisfy that literally. But random variables can be incorporated into a mathematical model. But what would it even mean for a universe to not be describable by any kind of math at all? I don't think such a concept is coherent or discussable.

You are right about the autoplayed suggested videos, but ones that are solely suggested in the right-hand bar still require someone to say "I wanna see" and click on it. And, of course, you can trivially easily disable the autoplaying of next suggested videos.

As for newsworthy videos like ISIS executions, I don't see much trouble with them. They are factual, and help people to see why ISIS should be opposed. It makes it impossible for anyone to pop up that wishes to claim that their means are peaceable or compatible with peace or reason. Banning the videos puts those who would argue against ISIS in the position of having no evidence and asking those they are arguing with to trust them - a thing intellectually repugnant for anyone to do.

Given the way suggested videos works, the only people who would be recommended things like ISIS execution videos would be people who were interested in ISIS execution videos for one reason or another. It's not like they would be recommended to me who mostly watches tech talks and science stuff.

And of course there are certain things which should be removed from YouTube. Not because they are "offensive" (which is a free choice on the part of the audience, not the creator of the video who has no control over how their unknown future audience will have trained themselves or been trained to respond) but because they are harmful. Things like blatant copyright infringement, child pornography, revenge porn, etc are illegal not because they are gross or shocking or upsetting but because they are harmful. They cause harm.

Those are all physical measurements, meant for the surface of the screen. If you design with them, it means you're designing with the screen size in mind. It's often wrong to design with those measurements.

There are relative sizes too.

Judging from the comments, it seems that many people are confused about this.

From what I see in practice: the reasons stated in the OR to choose the robot amount in most part to increasing the surgeon's comfort. The additional degrees of freedom in instrument motion, and the stereoscopic vision are very much appreciated. In addition, believe me when I say that hype is a major drive. Robots are often presented as "the most advanced technology", and this resonates with the patient expecting a high level of care and feeling important. It is true that the robot is sometimes chosen for difficult cases, but it is a question of reassurance and comfort for the surgeon more than anything else. Operations being (much) longer is not without consequence on patient outcome, and no operation done with a robot could not be done without.

Secondly, current robots are absolutely not geared at automation. The surgeon is in control at all times, and the machine does not perform any preprogrammed move. Even worse, to my knowledge there is no robot providing haptic feedback on the market, so that you have to rely on vision for many things which would normally be done using the sense of touch (tightening sutures, for example).

From the point of view of the anesthesiologist, the whole robot story is actually a bit sad and seems to add very little for a huge investment in both money and logistics.

It's one thing when you read a modest "Show HN" where some guy like me (or you) builds something and we're sharing it with the world, hoping it brings us fame and fortune; it's something totally different when a very wealthy individual (will.i.am) raises a ridiculous amount of money ($117M) and builds a completely trivial product.

And for what it's worth, even Beats was completely trivial. I know 2 engineers and 1 product person that worked there and they all agree that their acquisition by Apple was solely based on the brand and the names behind the brand, not the product. (In audiophile circles, it was well known that Beats by Dr. Dre were awful bang for your buck.)
Never forget that the top 20% of citizens are responsible for like 87% of all the tax revenue the US and state governments rely on.

Never forget that you implicitly assumed this is because taxes on that segment are too high, rather than because various aspects of our economy were rigged to give those people a disproportionately high share of the total taxable income.

In other words: there are two ways to reduce your tax bill, and only one of them requires Congress to pass a law that puts you in a lower bracket.

> Investors don't just give away $117M "because he's famous"

Investors gave Theranos several >$600M in funding. Today we know about the lack of due diligence. It was all about investing with that young female wunderkind because everyone else did. So that's no argument.

Regarding the founder: Looking at that cringe worthy Apple TV shark tank copy and how he forced one founder to list him as co-Founder I am pretty sure Will.I.Am just sits around talking BS and others doing the work for him.

Last but no least: Yes, $117M is actually a pretty damn lot for a company that does chatbots. This type of NLP isn't even resource heavy (like shitloads of GPUs heavy) so there is no need to put so much money into that. That said, of course the Germans are clients. They are always late to the party and most of the time get ripped off.
I think you've confused the representation with the computation. Sure maybe that binary number could represent a universe state in some encoding. But there's no computation happening to it. It's static.

>I believe that mathematics is a mental construct, mathematics does not exist without brains

Brains evolved through natural selection to survive in the universe we exist in. Ideas similarly "evolved" to be good at modelling the universe. If mathematics didn't exist outside of our head, it would be useless. If there are two apples on the ground, and two more fall of a tree, then there are four apples on the ground. This is true whether or not a human is there to observe it and count them.

> ...the fact that no other electric car maker is able to match that...

The 100,000 dollar plus luxury electric saloon market isn't exactly overflowing with competition yet, so I'm not sure this really proves anything. Given time and a stronger focus on electric models, I have few doubts the usual German contenders will build electric cars every bit as quick.

The "legacy" car manufacturers have been slow to wake to Tesla's successes in some regards, but that looks set to change rapidly over the next decade.
I think you overestimate investors and how they think. Case in point: Juicero raised boat-loads of money because investors got hooked on their business model of selling over-priced juice packs to consumers. Too bad investors only learned too late that these packs could be squeezed by hand just as well as with a $400 machine.
Useful for home automation. Useful in circumstances where you are working with both hands doing something else. I've been using voice commands daily now. Nobs and buttons are going to start disappearing and then you won't have a choice.

The bigger question to me is how a startup is going to compete with Amazon & Google's voice APIs/cloud services in the mid term much less the long run. Unless it is a play for acquihire.
Shouldn't you begin your sentences with capital letters? :-)
If Tesla has an adequate supply of cells for their needs (due to contracts with Panasonic and their own factory), but other car manufacturers have to compete with each other on the open market for a supply of cells that is inadequate for high-volume production, then that's a big advantage for Tesla in the short/medium term. They can focus 100% on electric, whereas the major manufacturers will have to stick mostly with gas and hybrids for the majority of their revenue.

If China were to produce many times more cells than Tesla, we could still have a major battery shortage for most of the world's auto manufacturers.

> [...list of macOS installer apps...]

> Mac users can download theses files from the App Store.

This isn't really accurate. It's not possible to find and download macOS releases older than the current release. The only exception I was able to find a few months ago is if you've already downloaded them once previously while signed into the App Store on a different machine. I believe in that case an old release can be downloaded on a new machine from the Purchased list after signing in under the same account.
