Tangent: I find the idea that we'll reach zero employment any time soon strange, because we have (and have always had) a desperate need for social workers. We could have 10x the number we have today, and still not be providing the level of individualized care that would meet most people's idea of an "ethical system" vs. being some sort of Kafka-esque farce.

Maybe nobody will want to pay them (their salaries come out of taxes, after all), but the jobs will continue to exist, with whatever budget—they certainly can't be automated away. There is an intrinsically human element to figuring out just how to untangle a (seemingly-irreversibly) knotted-up human life.

While this is terrible, is it worse than say Apple who offshore much of their labor costs to places with far worse standards?
This talk inspired me to create a Game Boy emulator [1] and indeed it's enough to create a general design of each hardware subsystem (CPU, IRQ, Pixel Processor Unit, etc.) Also, the part about the pixel transfer is great, only few emulators implement it with FIFO queue, as presented, and this seems to be very accurate way.

During the further work I needed more details (list of CPU opcodes, timing of the IRQs, a list of audio and timer bugs, etc.), but the list links to all required resources - as far as I know this is everything we know about the Game Boy at the moment. It doesn't mean the console is fully reverse-engineered - especially the STAT IRQ timings is still very hard to get right.

Particularly interesting link is the "Pan Docs", moved and updated in the gbdev wiki [2]. Maybe it's not the best place to get the general information about the hardware, but it provides a lot of specifics.

I'm good. Looking at things from the data angle now. But unfortunately no public page. You can link to the old one, if you want to. Have you compared against TensorFlow XLA?
I expect this will level itself out, it’s just a new engine for propaganda the population aren’t used to yet.

In time people will begin to realise what Facebook puts in front of them isn’t necessarily the whole picture the same way posters from WWI and II seem crude and obvious to us now.
Yes, it is poor taste, unnecessarily insulting, and assumes 'we' == 'US'. "Worth calling out"? Nope. That puts unnecessary emphasis on it, and creates unnecessary discussion. Either the comment should be upvoted or downvoted. Readers are mature enough to decide that. I tend to downvote any complaints or discussion about moderation (including this one by myself if I could) because it is boring/offtopic read. YMMV.
Well, I'm not sure I'd say "technology agnostic". I would include Programming Perl or Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language in the second category. Parts of both are now dated, the accidental noise of APIs and so on, but the essential concepts are explained so fundamentally that you'd have no problem adapting to current APIs.

Sometimes, though, you just really need help coming up to speed on a bunch of accidental syntax and incantations to get the job done.
Funny that this would pop up, I just found it and bought it last week! I've been playing with Haskell recently and this app is perfect for playing with example code that you'll read in articles and books while learning.

Another awesome resource is Hoogle https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/
It's super handy if you already have programming experience and are looking for a function that does a particular thing but you don't know what it's called. You can just put the type signature of what you want in the search box and it gives you back functions that'll do it!
Great book. Unfortunately Jaynes passed away before he could finish it. Still, a great take on probability theory.
No mention of who is doing the enslaving, of course. The elite media play dumb on things like this, and then are shocked by things like Brexit and Trump.

If a gang of white men rape a woman, it's front page news for a week, even if it was entirely made up (Tawana Brawley, Duke Lacrosse, UVA). That's ok though, because even if the facts in the particular case are wrong or entirely falsified, the narrative is what is important. We know that powerful white men exploit their privilege to take advantage of women.

If a gang of non-white men groom and rape hundreds or thousands of children, it's on page A14 of the New York Times, and treated as this random bad thing happening in Old Blighty that is not part of a larger pattern, not an organized thing, not something that could start happening here (and if it did it would be totally random and not connected to anything else).

To summarize my point: now that the Internet exists, it is far easier for people to find out what is really happening in cases like this. If you wonder why people don't believe things the elite media says, look no further than this story. People know they are being lied to; why would you trust someone on a topic when you know he's a liar on others?
The last thing I want is to talk to my turned off computer... Comedy sketches of the past are becoming reality, and will be propelled by "Apple can't do no wrong" crowd.
Seems like it could be another case of 'correlation is not causation'. Are depressed kids more likely to have a greater use of technology to communicate? I would suggest there's a case to be made for that. However, there's no evidence shared in this article that suggests increased use of smartphones/laptops/tablets causes depression.
I can't downvote. The author points out his differences and provides his reasons why. The criticism doesn't add any value to the conversation because it has been addressed already by the author himself.
>with a very small pay-off given the tiny percentage of users who develop on their Mac for iOS devices.

If they go that way, the pay off obviously wont be "helping iOS developers have faster simulations", but as the parent already implied, beta testing and driving forward the eventual mix of iOS apps and macOS. So the "faster simulations" would just be a step in that process helping with perfecting it in a low stakes situation.

Plus, if it indeed happen, as the article also states, it would be used for another payoff, always on (at least when on mains power) Hey Siri, plus controlling the touch strip perhaps.
Apple only outsources (technically not offshoring, since it isn’t done in the same company) it’s manufacturing, almost all of its R&D is still done states side (better than Google or Microsoft, who have substantial overseas R&D operations, though not necessarily in low cost countries).
Most comments really just say:

I use IntelliJ IDEA with the intellij-haskell plugin, which works to some extent, but is fairly slow -- not the least at startup, which can easily take five minutes.

I'm afraid I won't be trying out this IDE, however, unless they offer a trial period (which I can't spot anywhere on the page). $30 isn't too much for a good IDE, but I'd like to try it out before paying in full, particularly since it seems to reinvent the IDE from the ground up, which makes me suspect a lot of the extra functionality, that more mature IDEs have, is missing.

We are not solitary animals; we evolved to be part of tribes and bands. There's a part of us that's just not happy unless there's other humans around.

And it's perfectly cool if we never interact with them. That's fine. Maybe sometimes all we want is to have someone around to be faster than when a lion comes out of the shadows and takes the slowest person down. Even if that, or some metaphorical equivalent of it, is exceedingly unlikely in a coffee shop.
Quick comment after skimming the ProductHunt page: it would appear that you have "half a product", with some promises of future functionality. You've got the easy stuff done. The hard stuff -- the "real", beneficial features (lead gen, invoicing, payments)-- haven't arrived yet.

Personally, I've been around long enough to never trust those promises or rely on a "roadmap" of future functionality. If what you have now doesn't meet my needs, you're not getting my money. The "Elite 100" just seems like a sleazy trick to lure in customers who otherwise wouldn't give you their money.

$348/year might be a bit much for a "free-lancer" to spend when they aren't sure your product is something that's going to be of real benefit to them -- and if you require an annual payment, it's not $29/month, it's $348/year.

> "... we couple top-notch freelancers from around the world as a team (usually a designer, developer and any special ops) along with a project manager ..."

I don't have much faith in your ability to "couple" me with unknown people. If the others fail to deliver or are "sub-par", that's going to directly affect my income. Why should I trust my future income to you? On that note, how much of a cut of this team's income are you taking, if any?
I had set myself the target of implementing the Risch Algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risch_algorithm) in SymPy (3) but the event was so embarrassing I deleted my code and never published it publicly.

I’m not a programmer. I erred in trying to do a programmer’s job. Also, I discovered why Nicholas Nassim Taleb has the reputation for being rather uncharitable (but deep down I feel like I deserved it, because hey, I stated a mathematical untruth).
Every iOS app already runs natively on Intel. Adding an ARM co-processor to the Mac doesn't change that situation.
I think you're being too dismissive.

What makes you think that with a large library of genomic data (only recently available) and a large corresponding library of quantified facial measurements you wouldn't be able to build a useful predictive model?

I'm sure it's not perfect but I wouldn't be so quick to say it's impossible. (The science is being developed by Craig Venter, who may be a jerk but he's often been a jerk at interesting frontiers in science.)

https://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/217286...

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/608813/does-your-genome-p...

In support of your argument though, I think it would very hard to build a model that was precise enough to distinguish two people who already look alike.

(You probably couldn't use these generated facial predictions to pull a single individual out of a database of photos.)
Please stop saying that Apple is secretly recording your conversations for nefarious purposes with Hey Siri. It’s been around for 2 years and there has been nothing world-ending found about the feature.

A reminder about how Hey Siri privacy works: https://techcrunch.com/2015/09/11/apple-addresses-privacy-qu...

> In no case is the device recording what the user says or sending that information to Apple before the feature is triggered,” says Apple.

> Instead, audio from the microphone is continuously compared against the model, or pattern, of your personal way of saying ‘Hey Siri’ that you recorded during setup of the feature. Hey Siri requires a match to both the ‘general’ Hey Siri model (how your iPhone thinks the words sound) and the ‘personalized’ model of how you say it. This is to prevent other people’s voices from triggering your phone’s Hey Siri feature by accident.

> Until that match happens, no audio is ever sent off of your iPhone. All of that listening and processing happens locally.

Dunno, if you need to be convinced to use a tool, then maybe you aren't yet in the market for said tool. I think it's a cherry on top to describe use-cases but not so critical that there's some sort of ecosystem problem that you describe.
I have been programming computers for twenty-two years right now, using them for twenty-five, and I don't understand much of anything. I probably understand more than, what, 95% of the population? More? And I still do things that I am sure are stupid and clueless.

Whether people "want to" or not is not relevant or meaningful. People have stuff to do. Wringing one's hands about "oh, but they don't want to understand" is the toxic kind of elitism.

Wonder how long they can go on like that. They tried to recruit me a few years ago but I ignored them because I didn't like what I has heard about them plus I didn't want to move to Seattle. After a few weeks I received an angry email demanding I explain my lack of response even though they initiated contact. I wonder if HQ2 isn't as much about finding a new talent pool that they haven't yet peed into as it is about swimming in the public treasury. I'm really curious what happens to them should there be a large reduction in work visas available. No doubt they'd open development centers around the globe but that's going to be a much different course of action than their apparent preference for handling software labor.
I think so. Antivirus systems are a huge attack surface. Maybe have windless defender installed; make sure Windows automated patching is on; use the latest version of Chrome or Firefox with an ad blocker installed, and don't give them access to the admin account.

And if you're paranoid like me get a managed switch and setup Snort to monitor your network. That'll protect you more than an antivirus will.
>A converged ARM-based Macbook sounds very much like a toy computer; a facebook+youtube media consumption station with an option for perhaps doing limited creative work such as composing an iMovie or touching up some photos at the most.

What you describe as a "toy computer" is actually an indestructible and hella-great main business computer for a huge majority of people.

Most people aren't designers or videographers or programmers -- including most Mac users. What you dismiss as "Facebook" is actually the browser, which is how most business users do their business day in, day out (plus some office suite and so on).

So what you describe will be more like a Chromebook done right.

Gamblers are under a very autonomous incentive structure: they want to gamble, and they can be scared into not doing so by consequences that would befall them personally.

Student loans don't work like this, I think, because most kids going to college aren't doing so because they want to. Instead, they think they need to, either because their parents demand it, or society demands it.

When you think you need to do something (i.e. there are no other options/routes to not-dying), adding risks to it doesn't have any effect on the math.

I always assumed it was more about what you do elsewhere in life once you've invested in an "unethical" company: If I'm invested heavily in the lemonade stand, it's against my interest to point out that too much lemonade could give you diabetes.

But that is really unrelated to the concept of "community" on Facebook. One can be quite concerned about social media's negative effect on society (promoting tribalism, othering) while granting that Mark Z has exceptional security needs.

To the contrary, TeX (not LaTeX) has one of the best error-handling and error-recovery interfaces of any commandline program — if you use TeX as Knuth intended, that is, if you use plain TeX at the commandline and if you have read the entertaining chapters in The TeXbook on dealing with errors. Just try using plain TeX (not LaTeX) for a few months and you'll find that the behaviour when errors happen is one of its delights, the opposite experience from when you use LaTeX. (Of course, you may miss many conveniences from LaTeX, but the error experience is itself almost worth the change.)

Knuth has done a great job that should be the model for all other software writers: every error is described in two ways, one somewhat formal and one somewhat informal, and every error is shown with enough context (and this is configurable too) for you to quickly see what the issue is, and you can even fix errors without having to abort the compilation. He has a great talk where he describes how the English language is optimized for dialogue (things like "I" and "you") and TeX messages are designed in that way.

Unfortunately, LaTeX consists of several layers of complicated macros (all in the name of making things convenient for, and hiding things from, the user) and as they (correctly) decide that all these layers won't make sense to the user, they actually turn off all the context that goes with the error, leading to error messages that are incomprehensible even to experts. But I don't think it's right to blame the fact that LaTeX didn't bother to implement good error-recovery on TeX.

Yes, a typical Elixir/Erlang application is a process tree with parent processes acting as supervisors to children processes. Each supervisor knows how to handle its children crashing, and properly replace crashed processes. They can do things like “if one child crashed restart all children” or “only restart the crashed child”.
I've been saying the same to friends and strangers for over a decade. Colombia is an awesome place. As the article says, they have this seemingly gimmicky tourism phrase "the risk is that you'll want to stay" (only it's true).

Speaking of fruits, one of the problems there has to do with papayas. There's a Colombian phrase "no dar papaya" (do not give papaya) and it means that you shouldn't act foolishly because someone will "take your papaya", if you do. In fact, the second unwritten rule regarding papayas (aside from "don't give them") is that if someone offers it to you, you must accept. Essentially, it comes down to "take whatever opportunity will place you in an advantageous position". This is obviously bad on a societal level, in many ways.

That being said, it's still an undeniably beautiful place/people/culture/cuisine.
