A fair question, and I don't know that I've got the answer, though several answer-shaped possibilities suggest themselves.

One line of thinking has a Neilsen or Arbitron-like rating system that pays based on readership. I think that is ultimately a false lead as it simply rewards popularity.

Another is to employ a basic income approach. Given the number of writers I know who write largely because they can't not, this might work, though it might not be fully sufficient. The prospect of a UBI and some achievements-based revenue might make this more viable: electronic distruibution is gratis, but live performances and physical media might generate additional revenue, as might various services or other arrangements, all on top of a UBI base.

A third way might be to treat creation something like research: it's an activity, and it's funded as a certain overall percent of national income. Divide that by what's seen as a livable wage, and designate that there are so many positions open, and so many to be filled in a given year, that will be paid. Sorting out how to filter out those who really aren't suited to it is the next challenge, though there are various models: guilds, professional recognition (see the Emmy's, Grammy's, Oscars, Pulizter, Peabody, Nobel, Royal Society, AAS, and similar recognitions).

One thing I don't think should happen is for there to be some sort of quarterly or annual "rank and yank", or the general fight over scientific grants funding we now have. There's an article I'd recently seen about productivity of scientists over their careers, and the distribution is ... almost perfectly random. That is, a given scientist might produce some great work early, late, or in the middle of their career, once only or possibly several times. But there's not much rhyme or reason to it.

Creative work generally is something that evolves over time, and takes time. Days, weeks, or months even for a good piece of journalism. Years for a story, play, or film. A lifetime for works of science or philosophy. Take Wittgenstein, who wrote one book and then spent the rest of his life writing another refuting the first.

(And yes, there are prolific examples as well, though often they are best known only for a handful of works. Attention is a zero-sum game. Alexandre Dumas. Isaac Asimov. There's a large literature on Gresham's Law effects in literature, painting, music, drama, and television as well.)

The inputs to writing are information, sources, and investigations. Otherwise, generally, a quite space and not having to worry too much about room, board, heat, water, and light. Excessive remuneration doesn't much seem to help in its production, and a certain frisson may actually help, but only to a point.

Marketing would be negligible because Uber has already created that market: "that other app where there is no driver begging for tips like on Uber" would not need much help selling itself (assuming uber would be phasing out drivers incrementally, while a robotic competitor would start 100% driverless).

As for capital costs: I would expect competitors to have a much easier time raising capital for their fleet than Uber, where all new investors have to to share their stake with several billions (!) of pre-selfdriving investment. Not every competitor will be drowned in investment, (there is an infinite number of ways to share off investors) but one or two will be enough to cause serious trouble for uber.
Hi, I'm an investor from China. Instead of forcing students to use cumbersome computerized inputs for equations, we are seeing multiple approaches to revolutionalize how math homework is being marked in China, including professional scanners in schools, taking photos using apps, writing equations on iPads and using digital pens with special paper. The are multiple hard parts for this process, such as OCR for complex symbols, solving the problem itself using deep learning and theorem provers, and checking if the students work per line is correct. I haven't seen anything like this in the US, other than a few work in automatic solving the SAT exam(geosolver?).
> As for fingerprints versus facial recognition, the article claims fingerprints are better, but I’m skeptical. For one thing, my phone is covered in my own fingerprints, so getting something to copy is a lot easier.

Would it be possible to have a really secure phone that had fake fingerprints added to the material of the surface of the phone?

I'm only half-serious, but it might make lifting the real prints harder...

(maybe it is trivial to distinguish prints made on a surface from those in the structure of the surface)

The Go team were very proud of their garbage collector that “virtually eliminates” (IIRC) GC pauses. I guess it does that at the cost of severe program slowdown in cases like this? It's all about trade-offs, and I don't trust people who think there's only one thing to optimise for.

I am very much interested in the maker community and would certainly do whatever it takes to engage that segment. Doc is th Achilles heel of efforts like ours and we intend to address that.

Yes, C# is slowly getting there (I'm a desktop C# dev since 14 years so I have waited for these features to creep in). Value types certainly help, but in idiomatic C# if you foreach over something you (sometimes) allocate an iterator on the heap. And it's not clear from the syntax when you do. You just have to know that a List<T> doesn't heap allocate its enumerator but most other types do, for example. These details are mostly hidden from you.

Using the low level features in C# (in the past structs, preferably in an AoS layout, then Span<T> etc tomorrow) will effectively make it a "Safe C". When you use those, you can't use idiomatic C (linq, heap allocs etc). You effectively agree to use a completely different subset of the language for your high perf tasks, and when you do, it doesn't look like the C# you have in the rest of your app.
Dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance (in particular lack of sodium) causes both "foggyness" and general confusion in people of all ages. In otherwise healthy American's its rare to have a lack of sodium, but in the ketosis community especially at the start, its something even they have to pay attention to. This is part of the problem with trying treat such diseases is that there are many things co-occurring. Along the same lines, lack of magnesium is very common. Both coffee and booze leach it from ones system, many american adults are encouraged to take a supplement. Lethargy(i.e. lack of focus), rather than disorientation tends to be symptomatic.
Biometrics are weaker than anything that relies on knowledge, for the simple fact that a physical attack IRL cannot be resisted. One could die without revealing a pin or password, but a biometric device would reveal his secrets very quickly through simple coercion and even after death has occurred.
Strictly speaking, the UC System is the state. That IBM funded some of RISC-V doesn’t make RISC-V a capitalist product nor does TSMC manufacturing some silicon.

I would be surprised if even non-idiomatic CPython could be as fast as C. Even apart from GC, every function call and property access is many C function calls under the hood. I imagine the other languages listed share similar (though less dramatic) issues (Go has bounds checking while C does not, for example).
too late.
Judicious garbage collection reuses memory you have already allocated, and for which there may already be entries in caches, page tables, garbage collector metadata, and whatnot.

If you never garbage collect, the runtime has to repeatedly allocate new memory from the operating system, and all this additional metadata has to be juggled. If allocating new memory is a system call, that has costs. If you get lots of page faults because you keep using new pages, that has costs as well.

> ... so long as we stay away from say live telemetry to insurers ...

Consumers have demonstrated that they're willing to save $5-20 a month in exchange for sending gym checkins[1], daily steps counts, or digital monitoring of their driving habits[2] uploaded to their insurers.

I don't think it'll ever be mandatory but I can see a day where the "discount" for agreeing to continuous monitoring and data upload is so great that it'd be cost prohibitive for the average consumer to not be a part of it. On the personal health front I think the biggest stopper is the cost of the data collection devices. That's what's relegated it to higher end targets like diabetic monitors (for now).

Don't have any paper from Apple about this, but first finger-print scanners started to check temperature to avoid reading old fingerprints left on the reader when someone did breath on it to trigger a new reading.
So to attack the temperature check you had to place a plastic-bag with body temperature water on the reader, making it read the old fingerprint if enough of it was left on the reader.
Then they started to check for pulse, so the easiest attack is to put a false fingerprint on a finger.

Fingerprints are easy to copy and you cannot change them, so fingerprints might be more secure than use the pin 1234. But it isn't more secure than a strong password, but so much more convenient to use...

Yes, obviously all the "can be as fast as C" is modulo safety switched off, and using static calls. If bounds checks aren't elided and dynamic calls aren't JIT'ed into single jumps just like a C function - then you can't match C.

Which is why in most languages, you have to effectively write C (in that language). Not even sure if it's possible in (C)Python, but in C# it effectively means using a lot of "unchecked" blocks, pointers, etc, obviously skipping any interfaces or other vtable lookups etc. The C# you end up with (only structs and no classes, no heap allocation, lots of raw pointers, lots of unchecked and unsafe etc ) will resemble C a lot
They're a new automotive manufacturing company - being a few months off estimated production for Model 3 isn't a big deal. It's surprisingly good in hindsight.

Their current capacity capability at the factory is 500,000 vehicles annually. I suspect once they launch the Semi and get 500k+ pre-orders of it, they'll be able to get a loan to build or acquire another factory.

As Elon has mentioned many times, designing the automation is magnitudes harder than designing the vehicle itself. They're on an exponential growth path and it's going to be amazing once they're pumping out millions of vehicles annually.
What are they doing?
Languages that only support immutable data types, like some functional languages, typically can't use object pools, or if you can underneath the hood there's lots of copying going on that simulates object pools.

Having said that good lockless implementations along with good use of the right data structures can eliminate some or all of the data bus overhead (depending on the data types and uses). RCU[0] is one such example of single object immutability that in effect allows for mutable data structures that can handle multi-threaded environments at scale.
