The rumor for next year's model is that it will get face id and that's something I definitely want.

"Ageism seems largely concentrated on the Silicon-Valley style society."

I saw ageism many years ago at a big aerospace firm in the L.A. area. It was understood and even outspoken that young engineers would get the call to work extra hours and weekends if needed, as well as the occasional graveyard shift when a unit was in thermovac testing. Older engineers were not usually called upon become they had "paid their dues" as young engineers. Colleagues at other big aerospace firms said is was pretty much the same for them. Ageism for sure, in hardware development, and not in Silicon Valley.

Deep Learning on Steroids with Keras and Horovod
I find the title misleading, because this first of all about a new web service the author wants to promote, and not about the elegance of a tiny shell script. (At least the article sets this straight in the first paragraph.)

The title suggests that it is all standard Unix tools plus 20 lines shell, and that all you need is a working mail server.

However, that setup requires in addition:

1) a command line tool "wsemail" for email handling, which is ~100 lines of Go code. (by the same author)

2) Cross-Compiling that tool from source for the Raspberry Pi.

And even that tool also doesn't handle email itself, instead it accesses:

3) a separate web service "websocket.email" (by the same author)

4) Requesting an API token for that web service.

If this was really about minimalism (as the title suggests), I would have expected polling a mail account via POP3, or opening a persistent IMAP connection to the mail server, all handled locally by the Raspberry Pi.
D-Wave Makes Quantum Leap with Reverse Annealing
Example, I had a friend who was recently looking to start an wholesale business in Canada. Let's pretend for sake of the example that he was selling widgets.

He found he could import 300 widgets from China and have them landed in Toronto for a shipping fee of roughly $17. To ship that same set of widgets from Toronto to a store two cities away was going to cost him $349.

In fact for $17, he could send 1 widget within the same city he was in directly to a customer.

It gets even worse if he wants to send that package of widgets to the states for something like Amazon FBA. Once again, it would cost $17 to ship directly from China but would run him $1400 from Toronto to New York.

You guys are illustrating my point nicely. I have no doubt that session recording is very helpful in your debugging activity, and provides feedback for site design. The problem is that those capabilities are often used against the user as well. The people who enabled you to do that also enabled others to do bad things. The attack surface has been hugely increased in the name of convenience for developers. Remember, with the internet the whole world is on your doorstep and that doesn't consist of just developers trying to get their UX right.

So do I, and I haven't fallen foul of it yet.
Yes the snowball effect, exponential.

Let's take this example.

Today I woke up and said to myself. I'm gonna make a supercomputer.

I will research and research, and come to a point where I could choose Linux or BSD for example.

I read about one thing, and another and it all already has real examples running Linux (the top 500).

So I can re-invent the wheel for god knows how long, or use what works for the top 500, which seems to be Linux.

Decision easily made.

Now the top 501 super computers run Linux.

Who is brave enough to not actively accept the wheel that is.

I probably wouldn't, especially with the fact that I have * no insurance * that a non-Linux super computer can hold it's own in real world applicable problem solving.

Theoretically one might get there, but the pragmatism is strong.

How about adding an inspection at ports of entry for these packages? The inspections would verify sender addresses, consumer safety, and other compliance with receiving-country regulations.

It should be possible to get packages through the inspection process reasonably efficiently. If shippers had the expectation that these ePacket items would clear inspection in something like 120 days, that should work.

It would serve the needs of customers who really need the cheapest stuff, preserve safety regulation compliance, and give customers an incentive to buy from merchants closer to home.

This is slightly tongue-in-cheek, but not really.

> Any capable of DirectX 12, but only gets OpenGL 4.3 drivers or similar on GNU/Linux.

What GPU is this? I don't know of a DX12 device which lacks OpenGL 4.5 support in a stable release of Mesa (or the blob, in the case of NVIDIA, since they are uncooperative with regard to firmware).

> Regarding OpenGL on macOS, I don't care, that is what rendering engines are for, and all relevant ones already support Metal 2.

Sure, if you're running only games, and those that were made before 2012, and after 2017, then that works fine. For an example of something that does not currently use Metal (2 or no 2): any web browser (to my knowledge, including Apple's own, except as a backend for the WebGPU prototype), professional graphics application, or visualization utility. The shader compiler is still subpar, even in Metal.

> Or my AMD Brazos one on a Linux netbook, DirectX 11 class, which only gets OpenGL 3.3 drivers.

IIRC Brazos in that range would be... Radeon HD 6330M, and you're right, that should support GL 4.4. If you're running Mesa from 2016 or later, it should have 4.1 (and most extensions, except compute shaders, up to 4.4), if you run AMD's blob you can probably get 4.4 on it today. Work on drivers for pre-southern-islands devices is slow these days, but anything after SI has full certified OpenGL 4.5 on Mesa along with every extension in in 4.6 except for SPIR-V loading (coming soon), and the performance is better in basically all cases than it is on Windows, or with the proprietary drivers on Linux (though for now you'll need the proprietary drivers for some features like FreeSync, which is unfortunate but oh well).

I still don't get it. We could create a parser framework that allowed a client to get some sort of generic AST and reference graph - which would enable all the use-cases of language servers but would also allow more use-cases in the future (e.g. IntelliJ-style inspections or language-aware diffs).

Instead, the standard requires running half a dozen processes with an API that doesn't provide anything except the exact data required for a number of handpicked use-cases.

Considering that even modern IDEs (again, see IntelliJ for examples) can do more, I don't see how this is a good way forward.

I disagree that many area's of my knowledge has a half life. My deep understanding of network protocols hasn't aged. My deep understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases hasn't aged. The principles of distributed systems haven't changed, but they have been given more tools. When, where, and how to optimize hasn't changed. Debugging, naming, and design whether it be functional or OO hasn't changed.

Sure there are new tools and methods, but I say the fundamentals are the same.
> You believe that the onus of arguing ethics is on the people who want to change the status quo when really, we should start by thinking about what society ought to look like from first principles. And then you absolutely do have to give arguments for why you want any inequality to exist in the first place, let alone billionaires.[0]

Interesting challenge, taking a look at the need for inequality based on first principles. Let me attempt my hand at it.

If you look at a capitalist economy as an optimization mechanism, large wealth concentrations are sources for large jumps in the solution space that escape local maximums. Explaining why:

Start by ignoring the comfort providing aspect of wealth. At these levels, wealth is more about power to shape society than it is about personal comfort. On the personal comfort scale, you get diminishing returns as you spend more.

In terms of shaping society, a billionaire has more power than a millionaire. Whereas, for a large project, a millionaire must convince other millionaires to share the risk, a billionaire may throw himself on a tangent all on his own.

This single-mind behaviour, when compared to group-mind behaviour, produces solutions that are a lot different from the status quo. In terms of optimization, they are larger jumps in the coordinate space.

Now, these large jumps in the solution coordinate space may be beneficial, may be dangerous, or altogether innocuous. Most are innocuous, some are wildly positive (Tesla pushing the auto market to move towards electric traction), some are wildly negative (Koch brothers capturing government).

The question of whether the final balance is positive or negative is an extremely difficult question. We're talking about very rare events in the optimization of very complex systems.

So, I have a very nice, useless theory :-)
Maybe so, but nonetheless, it shows how the DNC has traditionally been a device for funneling money from ostensible members of the Democratic Party, to whichever presidential campaign is on at the time. If you ever wondered why the Democrats lost so many down-ballot seats, the basic answer is: because they sent all their money to Hillary, Obama, and then Hillary, including the money meant for the down-ballot races. Pay nothing, play not at all, lose by default.

I look at some of these replies and I think back to my own High School many moons ago. None of these ideas would have worked. You guys might as well be describing schools from another planet.

In my school, 5% of the class (probably less) were actually there to learn, were on a college track of some sort, and would take advantage of educational resources. Their parents took an active role in their education and pushed them. A good 70% or so were pretty much furniture. They were there because they had to be, and their parents saw school as free babysitting service. They would end up in a trade school afterward if they were lucky, or a more likely future drifting between unemployment and Walmart/McDonalds employment. Then there were the 25% who were actively opposed to learning. They existed to disrupt everything, start fights, and waste all of the teachers' and administrators' time. Most of them were into gangs, selling drugs, etc. and their presence detracted from everyone else's experience. This group is likely dead or in prison today.

Aside from the political reasons already covered by other posters (school boards playing politics and being more interested in mandating and banning things than furthering education), there is this reality that education startups ignore: The vast majority of their end users will not want to be end users.

For black holes these aren't separate concepts. An apple and the earth each have rest mass, and gravity means there is also potential energy in their separation. But a black hole is an object with rest mass which is made purely out of gravity.

With two well-separated black holes it's reasonable to talk about each of their rest masses, and the potential, just like the apple. But as they get close and merge these ideas are hard to pin down, and stop being useful. Their shapes get blended together, and their horizons unite into one sphere, and for a while this wobbles around a lot before settling down. Some of the energy of its wobbling around departs as gravitational waves. Once it's settled down you can meaningfully talk about its rest mass again.

I'll have to think about this some more, since I don't quite understand.

Let's say we have the following Haskell definitions:

error msg = undefined -- "throwing an error"
undefined = undefined -- infinite loop

In this setup, there's no way for us to tell, under any evaluation strategy, whether or not an expression evaluates to _|_. Any code we might write to "check" for this would have to run "after" an infinite loop, which is impossible. Hence it's impossible to write an expression which, under any evaluation strategy, normalises to two distinct non-_|_ values: either it always produces the same value, or it sometimes produces one value and sometimes _|_ (depending on the strategy), or it always produces _|_ regardless of strategy.

If we can distinguish between "different _|_s", e.g. catching some as exception values, then we can write an expression which reduces to different non-_|_ values depending on the evaluation strategy, and hence we lose confluence (the weaker form; we already lost the stronger Coq/Agda form by having _|_ in the first place).

This is fundamentally different to the value-or-_|_ uncertainty, since that's unobservable from within the language.
Really? In a lot of cases, we give our consent for our data to be processed, and the terms of which - do you really think, even with a more up front disclosure statement and post-process record keeping, that for most people it'll have a large impact on data from opted-in networks? And the subsequent (consented) use of it in all manner of ways?

It's not a combative question - I'm genuinely interested as to whether I've misinterpreted GDPR requirements or not? From what I've seen, as a lot of personal data is willingly traded by people, and the greyness around "legitimate interests" of the controller, the landscape wont look massively different (just perhaps a more invasive privacy notice on first visit?)
