I never was a dog guy. Always had cats during childhood. I used to find dogs scary and stinky. But then, at 38, a few years ago, I suddenly needed a dog. What was it? The kids growing older? Me, getting older? I don't know. But I wanted a dog. I contemplated the idea for one year. And then I adopted a dog from a shelter. Greatest thing ever. A dog is such a great companion. They say that a dog will make you laugh once a day. It's 100% true based on my experience.
I'm really interested to know what the large problesm you've been facing are.

Also, if you're facing a problem with garbage collection, have you tried the emscripten/wasm approach? Using some garbage collected language and compiling it down to javascript? Or maybe even one that is functional to make garbage collection simpler?
It's time to buy.
I think they just meant that Rust references are like normal first-class generic types. Eg, you can nest them to get a &mut &T for example, since they behave more like a pointer in that regard.

C++ references on the other hand are more like modificators of a type, eg you can have a T or a T&, but having a (T&)& does not make sense. (Outside of templates, where it gets folded down to a T&.)
Thats weird, i thought these "round" numbers are mostly psychological. The previous bitcoin peak was around $1000 and followed by a looooooooooong winter. I thought it would repeat itself, hover around $10000 for a little and then go for another looong dive.

But maybe there's too much market activity to stop it yet.

It's fun making this kind of predictions. I would wager for fun that it will not reach $20000 before it starts the dive.
The big challenge is creating good data. We constantly analyze chat conversations. Sometimes our chatbot answer wrong because of a corner case that we didn't think about. It could be lack of training data, context mismatch or that follow-up intents are missing. The technology works, but the data structure needs improvement all the time. We have people that work with this and we call them "AI-Trainers".

It isn't wrong to project our desires and fantasy of engagement on to specific dogs, in as much as mutuality can exist between us as good source and them as consumers. Symbiosis takes many forms and to imagine the butterfly feels no pleasure as the plant releases a drop of nectar is to deny we could build a probe fine enough to find out. But so what? They go on sucking nectar, and our dogs go on making eyes at us and whining for food, which we willingly and happily comply with. There is nothing intrinsically wrong here. There is something intrinsically wrong in claiming to be objective and denying the possibility and it's wrong to attribute all species enhancing behaviours purely to genes and acquired traits. If dogs are capable of making choices and we are capable of making choices is there no room for a happy medium? An equitable, biologically deterministic mutuality?

PS not a dog owner but also not a dog hater. The book sounds like a good read.
Wow, it was hovering around $8,000 less than a week ago.
This feels so much like a "Pyramid" scam, or "irrational exuberance" and markets are climbing with it, and for no good reason other than too much money in too few hands.
But my concern is where that market activity is coming from... extremely fast rises in other markets (outside of IPOs or legit business successes) tend to be pump & dump efforts. Is such a thing possible with Bitcoin?
If this was true it would be quite naive, given there are now cryptocurrencies with anonymous transactions out there (e.g. Monero, zcash etc.), which could completely replace bitcoin - or at the very least are easy to transact with.
The correct time to buy is when the price is low. Is $11,000 low?

(No one knows)
that was in 2012 :)

Good sense of humour
No doubt. There's a few parties with a lot of money to invest; I'm sure every once in a while they chuck a few million into the market, raising the price above a certain threshold. News outlets pick up on it, a lot of people's interest perks up, they buy quickly to ride the upwards wave, annnd the party that bumped the price up initially slowly sell off again. Easy 30% return on investment.
Is this the hyper-deflationary collapse of a currency?

Hyperinflation gets all the rhetoric but currencies in fact have two different failure modes. (Well three if you count apocalypse but that's different.)
or it could go to 100k, or 1mn in 6 months time. It's impossible to predict.

The crazy thing is that the intrinsic value of bitcoin has gone down recently (ie. you can't really use it for payments now), and yet the price still goes up. If BTC really is going to become an alternate value store to Gold, this makes total sense.
I loved the Grauniad April fools Day editions of the sixties and seventies. Beautifully typeset reports of 'flong riots' in the island of San serrife. My mum had to explain flong was the Papier Mache used to make a stereotype of the lead type page for copying.
That's exactly the sentiment that the large BTC traders want to share, so they can sell off the stocks they bought a week ago at 30% below what it is atm.
Some of the use cases can be fairly simple (thus easier to see the value).

1. Me and You start a company together. We would like to split things 50/50. We setup an address such that when values are paid to it, half goes to you, half goes to me. Effectively we've created an "LLC with an Operating Agreement", but we aren't relying on political legal system / country to enforce. Enforcement is automatic and done by the network.

2. You want to setup a Trust for your kids. You create a contract that holds 10 Bitcoin / Etherum / etc. On the date Jan 1, 2035 the value of that address will be forwarded to your child's address. Again, we created a "Non-Revokable Trust" that is network enforced. No need for probate, courts, trustees, etc.
I recall when I was building animatronics in the 90s there was a pneumatic air bladder "muscle" at the time wrapped in stainless steel weave basket. So instead of using a rigid cylinder with rod, when you inflated the bladder its length contracted. You could make an arm bend and the appearance of a bulging bicep! Somewhat similar principle, but animatronics doesn't use high-volume parts, so it never took off. These origami-inspired actuators seem really cool!
Dynamic Routing Between Capsules – PyTorch Implementation with Visualizations
There was a story on the BBC News site about it crossing $10,000 just... well, today, actually.

Part of me is disappointed that I missed out on an opportunity to make an awful lot of money quickly when I wondered about buying some a couple of years ago and decided it was too dicey.

But then part of me thinks anything that has gone up in on-paper (on-screen?) value by an order of magnitude this year, and now roughly doubled in just the past month alone, is still surely being carried by pure hype, and some people are going to lose an awful lot of what they thought they had if it turns and they try to sell and find they can't.

>The previous bitcoin peak was around $1000 and followed by a looooooooooong winter.

That was mostly caused by an exchange at the time (MtGox) going under. The price increase was because bitcoin was the only way people could get their money out of the exchange, so you had to buy to transfer it out.

Chatbots are coming off the peak of inflated expectations, down into the trough of disillusionment.

I suspect many people have never even used search tools that were powerful and allowed for highly targeted searching.

Dealing with chatbots, I always feel like I'm in a badly done Infocom text adventure, trying to play guess the verb to solve an obtuse puzzle. I've done a little work with some of these NLP services, and it's staggering how similar matching utterances to intents is to adding a custom verb to the Inform 6 parser, on the implementation side.

10 advantages to collaborating like Open Source programmers
While you don't believe you are locked in, I don't believe that you as a programmer "power user" are the majority that Apple cares about.

I believe not only that for the majority of users there is a level of software lock-in, but further there is a high level of psychological lock-in, where users get used to and comfortable with Apple's design strength, which is Apple's main offering.

As people get more comfortable and more older it is easy to say that people get more resistant to change.
They sure do, but that doesn't make it any more true.

"Assuming that the estimates are correct, got aways have fallen significantly since 2006. In that year, Border Patrol estimated over 600,000 aliens successfully crossed the border and evaded USBP. By 2011, that number had evened out to just under 100,000, where it has remained until today."

Seizing Opportunity in Data Quality
I like to think of Ethereum as a giant virtual machine that shares it's CPU (contracts are the instructions) and Storage (the ethereum blockchain) across all nodes that participate. Every node re-runs everything locally to validate and move the state of the machine forward. And of course you get paid to do that through mining.

When you view it like that it's obviously very costly to execute code & store outputs, so alternative solutions are needed for lower value code. Breakthroughs in these areas could make Ethereum a viable platform for computing, and it honestly feels like we could be entering a new computing paradigm with it.
The game is likely Xoc Dia, a common gambling game played with four tokens hidden under a bowl.
I'd not be that surprised, if when you build with it it has the same kind of features as an echo. Wanting to play music means you are more likely to get amazon music prime, or pay for song storage. Ordering directly and making shopping lists pushes you towards amazon.

It may be cheaper for them than the affiliate scheme.

It seems like the RISC-V ISA would make more sense for a project like this, no?
It's a bit harder if you host something like this for the general public to use (vs administrating machines in your private DC). Normal setups aren't really hardened against someone flashing firmware, messing with UEFI, ..., all of which mean you can't entirely trust a machine coming back from customer control. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon took this seriously and invested effort in stopping such things. At their scale, they probably can customize the hardware enough.
Not to bang on about it, but this kind of thing is why I use an ad-blocker.

It's barely even about ads in the traditional sense anymore, it's about being able to read a fucking article without having half the internet downloaded in the background while every nano of my being available is processed and analysed by 30 different tracking companies simultaneously.
I've heard this before, but how can the appeal last longer than a few minutes? Seriously, a computer is about potential but the possibilities are so incredibly limited with this device that it's hard to see where to go after a few blinking lights. That's just not exciting.

A few blinking lights and that's the total potential? Meh.

I have a funny metaphor about animal vs humans.

Video games today are 1000000x more sophisticated, realistic than anything from the early 80s. Still 8 bit games were games, they had the same elements in them, except in low res, freq and count. The structure, the "quality", not the quantity. Same goes for computers. When I boot a win95 box, it's all there, minus the HTML5/CSS3 capable stack.

I do believe that most life forms, above a level of complexity have most of the things we think as human exclusive. Surely when an animal spent so much time and effort into finding a source of feeding, as the nutrient come in, his system reacts and communicate "satisfaction" in one form or another. The butterfly just don't write a song about it afterwards.

Yeah. Knowing that it's on the heap isn't enough - we also have to know whether we own it or are borrowing it.

Tiny microprocessors are there in almost all devices supporting DMA since long time right? So what this RISC-V versions will bring new to the table?
Yeah, it seems like the decision to make the fragment a first-class JSX concept has a lot to do with portability between renderers. The post makes it clear you all have given this a lot of thought and care, and I appreciate that (even if it will take me awhile to get used to seeing empty tags, haha).
About 6 months ago I got tired of all the tracking and fingerprinting that is going on and installed NoScript. Surprisingly few web pages require Javascript. Give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.
>>Guess what has to happen to maintain or increase value transfer when you have reached a limit on blocksize.
Ding ding ding! You guessed it!

No, the price rise is not in any way conditioned on the block size being limited. Whether $1 billion worth of coins is being moved via 1 million or 1 thousand txs has no bearing on what the per coin price has to be. All that matters is the value moved and the number of coins doing the moving.

>>The utility has not degraded and just looking at 'number of transactions' is not useful.

Being limited to larger value transactions with higher fees hugely degrades utility.
Well you can wire it up to eternal devices easily enough.

Also take a look at some of the ideas on this page, http://microbit.org/ideas/projects/.

Character Stream vs. Binary Stream While Parsing XML
This doesn't seem quite right. My Shiba Inu (her name is Doge, check her out: https://www.instagram.com/brndnmtthws/) is generally quite disinterested in food. I often have to trick her or keep her leash on and attach it near her bowl to make her eat. When she gets excited, she can't be bribed with treats (she just ignores them).

She likes food, but it seems like her main interest is playing. She'd rather run around in circles or play fetch than eat most of the time.

No, the two have nothing to do with each other. The Tesla Semi charges slower than the model S does already- it takes roughly the same time to charge a battery regardless of how large it is. That Bloomberg article is not talking about the battery itself, its talking about the charger- the wires hooking up to the battery.
Surely they should care about the security of their _own_ developers, who surely program in macOS. I believe we are being too harsh on Apple unnecessarily.
No, why would it? ARM is well-known, well-supported by the software ecosystem and there are tons of cheap chips readily available so you can pick whatever you like.

RISC-V has none of these things right now. One type of chip available, I doubt they could have gotten it at the time (or even right now) in the numbers they need, it would need companion chips for things the current one has integrated (Bluetooth), would be more expensive and would likely require more software work. Exciting, yes, but at the lower levels "boring" is exactly what you want for a project like this. The entire thing is supposed to be cheap so you can distribute it widely and additional effort spent has a way higher impact if it goes to documentation, teaching materials, example projects, … than to making low-level changes most users won't even notice.
I'm guessing it's because JSX is XML-like and so parsers may require a single root element for each JSX "document". It's a good question though, hopefully someone from the React team might be able to comment.

I dunno, it's very different than things were. I built my current desktop in 2011, and aside from an ssd and upgrading from a 560 to a 970 gtaphics card, haven't made any changes. I'm running everything I want, multiple VMs all the time, Visual Studio, games at max graphics. Ten years ago, using a six year old machine meant you wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of running new software, but this one is chugging along admirably, and probably will for the foreseeable future. Unless everything moves to Electron, but if that happens, it really is the end times.
> I don't think this approach is necessarily incompatible with garbage collection; theoretically a language like Go could have separate vector and slice types like Rust does, and I think that would make these types of optimizations much easier!

Absolutely. It's not a GC issue, it's a design issue. Adding this kind of control would make the language harder to use.

Making the hard case easier to handle for experts makes the easy case harder to handle for everyone.
It has the advantage as well as coming with buttons and lights (as well as accelerometer, compass, light sensor, temperature sensor, bluetooth), so the time between 'open package' and see your code doing something is much smaller.

At £15 for one with a battery pack, cables, tutorials, and all that, it sounds great.

Can you buy a RISC-V device off the shelf with integrated Bluetooth?

It looks like BT was the architecture driver, so they used https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-low-energy... - the radio is the difficult bit, and the processor having spare capacity is a convenient by product.
Yes. But it also takes self-filtering. You have to forces yourself to "Just say/do no." :)

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE to learn new things. But I'm finding - as I look in the mirror - that I'm picking up too much (what amounts to) trivia. And that the human connects are far from legit.

But this is my doing. I've forgotten to say "no thank you." But admitting I have the problem is my first step to addressing it.
