Nope. You can have children for many reasons besides thinking that's the purpose of our existence. The future doesn't care why you have children.
Israeli here, we spent large portions (basically every night there was an alarm due to Iraqi missiles heading toward Israel) of the first Gulf War in specially prepared room(masking tape on the windows, wet towel under the door) wearing gas masks. Children and babies had more elborate solutions to "protect" us.

In the Iraq War we were handed out gas masks again, no alarms that time though.

I still have(probably expired by now) gas mask somewhere.
I think you probably find some degree of that in Europe too until quite recently, notwithstanding some famous major wars and territorial shifts...

It's an anecdote, but I was pretty impressed when my uncle recently signed up for one of those ancestry tests, and it correctly pinpointed exactly the region that his grandfather (my great-grandfather) had come from in the late 19th century. I'm certainly no expert in the genetics but it boggles my mind a bit that it's detectable that his recent lineage didn't stray much from that small area of Europe until it went to the States. I share 50% of my ancestry with him, the other 50% is from other parts of Europe, my wife is from another part with its complicated story, and we have kids... After 3 generations I don't think any one particular country should be particularly recognizable (though I'll admit, I may be over-simplifying or misunderstanding how it works). Yet my uncle's DNA test pinpointed a small place in Europe with only a few hundred thousand people, and did so correctly.

I was looking at an open house for sale earlier this year and the button to open the (detached) garage was under the edge of the counter in the kitchen like some sort of silent alarm panic switch.
I'm pretty excited to see this get off the ground, are you planning on U.S. Market or concentrating on Asia/Australia?

I'm you're fighting an uphill battle of 'just another vending machine' but IoT, app integrated, food robot! Automated Micro-Restaurant?
But GM is dependent on LG Chem to actually make the batteries, and from what i've ready LG Chem has already announced their plans and it's not enough to make hundreds of thousands of vehicles for next year (though maybe the year after...)

That's a damned fine point, as it's the one part of the supply chain GM doesn't control and can't take in-house over the short term. So we end up with a company that can build the hell out of some cars, but is constrained on batteries. Another has lots of batteries, but is still wet behind the ears when it comes to making cars. Hey, I have an idea...
Longshot Systems | Multiple Roles | Marylebone, London, UK | ONSITE | Full time | £65k-£85k

At Longshot Systems Ltd we're a small startup building advanced platforms for sports betting analytics and trading. Having developed a lot of our core platform infrastructure we are looking to begin expanding our trading strategy development activity.

Role 1 is a Machine Learning Engineer. You'd be working closely with the CEO, CTO and ML research team to turn prototype trading models into production-ready systems, design and build the tooling & frameworks to support strategy research and development as well as architecting the high-level design of the strategy software to minimise trading latency and scale effectively. Our ML stack is Python based and communicates with our core infrastructure, written in Golang, by RPC. The ideal candidate will have a strong software engineering background, with broad experience across a range of topics related to general high performance computing such as multi-threading, networking, profiling and optimisation.

Role 2 is a Senior Software Engineer. You'd be part of the platform team, creating services in go and improving performance and reliability of our trading platform. You'd be working with the CEO and CTO and the rest of the team directly. You should have good knowledge of golang and other systems programming languages. We do a lot of trouble shooting so good knowledge up and down the stack is critical, including debugging, profiling, network wrangling and optimisation.

We have an office dog, Minos. He's a beagle and rather cheeky. We can send you a pic if you need it to help in your decision making process.
If you would like to learn more about the role please visit https://www.longshotsystems.co.uk/
I dunno. I mean, I want a Tesla (a little) and I don't want a Lexus or Mercedes in particular. I think you're overgeneralizing. Markets are big, the "people" in your first sentence aren't the same population for Tesla buyers and Lexus buyers.
Given what all happened, it turns out you pretty much could have had that in 2002, and it was called Python. I don't mean this as an entry in the Perl v. Python flamewar; I mean that more like "as long as you were going to have to move from Perl 5 to Perl 6 anyhow, Perl 5 -> Python isn't that much harder", and it gives you what you say you want in 2002. (Ruby fits too but IIRC came in later; if it existed in 2002 it had not yet crossed the Pacific.)

My wife's aunt just gave us one of those this summer! I had never seen one made of denim before, I didn't realize it was a marketed product.
And I can just drive it myself presumably. I drove a '89 Ford Tarus with bald tires in Chicago winters.

'I Spent Decades Planning to Die.' What It's Like to Survive HIV for 30 Years
It's popular with cyclists in the US also. My colleagues who bike to work all use it.
I have a problem with the redeeming qualities of a old building. Sure, it's pleasant to look at, it may even improve your mood, but is this why you're there? Example: you need to study in the library and the library is really small because it was super expensive to build and noone thought we would have so many students. And by the way, the heating does not work or it's expensive as fuck. Now what?
Unless they plant to study them alive or release them when done (ha!) they could have just shot them. It would have been a far better use of everyone's time (and the money of whoever paid for the research) and allowed a more accurate sample of the rat populations as opposed to a sample of the rats that like bacon and don't hate new objects quite so much (the difference in samples is probably negligible but it's still something that must be accounted for).

1) Why do you think that? Has any car ever been successfully test in traffic for long periods of time without human intervention.

2) Better than the worst isn't good enough because good drivers would buy them too.
How Seattle Is Dealing with Its Rapid Growth and Economic Success
History is very complicated and full of contradictions. Imperial Russia is often dubbed as a semi-medieval state, yet it was able to build the Trans-Siberian Railway which was a massive engineering feat.
This example is just infinite recursion. You will get a similar result in, say, Python.

Maybe the author wanted to say that Rust (currently) doesn't perform an optimization called tail call elimination that would make this program consume zero stack, which would make it hang instead of erroring out.

Some languages (like Scheme) are specified to optimize tail calls, so you can rely on this behaviour there.
Automakers sure do make a lot of leases though.

(re your comparison of selling and renting)
> "The opposite of consciousness" is not a meaningful criterion of interest. I'm not even sure it's a meaningful term.

Then let me rephrase: The state that you are in when you are not asleep nor anesthetised nor in a coma. (I’m assuming you wrote consciousness rather than unconsciousness as an autocomplete typo not as a misreading, I’m having to edit a lot of comments for that reason today).

(Also, strange example with fire and rocks, given there is one axis on which fire does rise for the opposite cause of rocks falling: buoyancy)

> Many of these tests you're outlining arent relevant to the question "does this robot have what we are interested in"

I listed them because it was not clear what you are interested in when you say “intelligence”. You have improved one step by saying “understanding”, but that has nine meanings lf its own, half of which point back to “intelligence” without adding anything useful to my mental model of what you might be trying to describe.

Now, with regards to your dogs-vs.-spinning-tops comparison. I totally accept that spinning tops are not intelligent. I do not understand how you decided to fit spinning tops against definition 1. I believe dogs are intelligent. I cannot prove dogs are intelligent by definitions 2, 3, or 4, only by definition 1 — can you? Can you demonstrate that a dog has any of “thoughts, concepts, ideas, imagination”? Again, I believe they do, but I cannot prove any of those things and I am aware of both the risk of anthropomorphism and of dehumanising (ironic word in this context, but it fits) their minds.

Finally, why do you believe that neuro-biomechanical processes are fundamentally capable of things that silicon cannot do? What makes it special?
The only languages that he's become even somewhat competent at are the ones closely related to languages that he already knew.

Here's a video of him "holding a conversation" in Mandarin: https: https://youtu.be/hoWXYmLpNJY?t=643

It's a series of non-stop "uh-huh's" and, frankly, it's embarrassing. He's a marketing gimmick and pretty reviled by the polyglot community for trivializing how much effort learning a language actually takes.
JavaScript: Get Chained
Hehehe thanks! I tried to make the captions of most images as ridiculous as possible.
All Teslas use one pedal driving. I'm under the impression that all EVs operate that way.

Edit: Yes of course, one pedal driving only applies to regenerative braking, normal brake pads are still engaged with a separate pedal. The Bolt works the same way. Imagine if simply releasing the accelerator slammed the brakes as hard as possible. That's a bad idea.
So, speaking at a larger context:

How approachable are multispectral sensors to build? Is it as simple as filters on a CCD camera? Are they just notch filters, and different notches to segregate different types of light to reach the CCD? Frankly, these types of camera sensors are pretty awesome, as it shows hidden things like they weren't hidden at all.

$64,000 question: how hard would it be to build one?
I used quite a few digital Journals. I still keep a personal, private one, encrypted with GPG using vim and some basic automation via shell. I rarely write there.

I like writing and have a lot to write about but I prefer physical journals by far... My handwriting is ugly too but I won't give up!

As update to my rant, I have to be faire to the Android team.

Apparently something related to C++ APIs on the NDK is planned to start appearing with NDR r17 onwards, as per Github issues.

Economists call this the "Free Rider" problem: people are able to derive value from a common good without paying for it, so there is less incentive to produce the type of good than would be optimal.

Roads. Infrastructure for sewers. Defense. Fire suppression.

These are all cases where a purely free market fails to provide optimal levels of the good or service.

People are evidently willing to pay for novels, so we know they have value. The question is whether the current copyright system gives copyright owners too much power to extract rents at the cost of the public domain.

Modules in Perl 6 work how you might want. The author is highlighting that the effect of the evil inside the module escapes that. So it's ultimately something you should never be doing. The whole article is a list of antipatterns/footguns many people already doing P6 would likely not have imagined. I for one had not considered just how gross the one with the mixed in role on an Int changing different kinds of addition, so evil.

Hey,

I applied for Community Manager but haven't heard anything :)
I just noticed an old Github issue has been updated a while ago, and we might start seeing some actual NDK C++ APIs with r17 and later releases.
