There are many people who believe that this trial is very important to the survival of Uber. If they lose -- or otherwise can't develop self-driving cars -- they are 100% permanently screwed.

They are burning through way too much money and it's simply not sustainable long term. If they can bring self-driving cars to market -- allowing them to not have to pay drivers -- they'll be able to survive and may even do quite well.

> alternative transit options

I like driving, but I'm very bad at managing the stress associated with owning a car, finding a parking spot, sitting in congestion, trying to be there in time (speeding to gain a few minutes that makes no sense), hence I don't have a car.

And I wouldn't live in a place that requires one.

And I can't understand how the US is so deep in the hole with regards to mass transit / public transport, commute time, etc.

Sure, I know, it's a classic coordination problem, and I'm probably very biased by having access to a very cheap and efficient public transit network.

Sad but true, even though I'm from the era of web rings and bookmark folders.

That's why I loved it when I noticed that Firefox didn't load all the tabs when you restored your session. So you can have tabs dormant.

Funny side effect of dormant tabs and the modern fast moving internet is that I sometimes find myself re-visiting tab after it has gone 404.

I see how this is seen as useless and non-secure; and there is logic behind it. But also, as the author suggested this may be a better solution rather than sending e-mails or writing passwords onto a text.

It's OK to be proud of "the best road system in the world". As you point out, you pay taxes to support it.

However, it's easier to solve certain types of transportation problems when your population density is as high as it is in The Netherlands.

Consider that 41 out of 50 US states have a larger land area than The Netherlands. Consider that only 4 out of 50 US states have a larger population than The Netherlands.

We in the USA need to build and maintain a lot of roads. And our lower population density means that mass transit isn't nearly as viable, except in the largest metropolitan areas, as it is in most of Europe.

For example, we use uncalendered cotton stock for our letterpress printing and which has a thicker caliper for a given weight than typical, allowing better impression when printed.

Sometimes that's true, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes people wind up with underwater mortgages, rather than building wealth.
I read it as a 4x speed up of 10% of the work. So what took 10% now takes 2.5%. this leaves 7.5% remaining. Assuming that time is spent doing the same thing then it's 100/(90+0.925*7.5) which is ~3% increase in useful work. I'm sure this math is wrong.

For homicides yes. You can live in Germany or some other European country where murders and gun crime are in single digits per year (haven't checked the latest number, could be higher than single digits but much less compared to US, you get my point).

But the difference compared to Japan is in more petty crime. Things already mentioned in this thread - you can't just leave your laptop on coffee table and go to the loo for 10 min. Or leave your bicycle in front of a store and go inside for half an hour.

As a European I don't think there are many (if any) places in Europe where you don't have to watch your back and be aware of thieves and other (potentially dangerous or at least inconvenient) dodgy street elements.

Add to that overall cleanliness (amount of homeless people shitting on streets, screaming obscenities on people walking by etc, in US and EU cities that will be quite normal, in most Asian cities this would be a rarity) and moving to a place like Japan can be attractive option for people.

> this is part of its strategy to reduce the company's carbon emissions by 30% by 2025.
> We were unable to put default (zero) values in our config files...

Huh? I don't know the details of what you're (de)serializing, but the standard strategy for default values that are not zero values is to have unpack into a pointer. For example, if you have a message like

{ "foo": 23, "bar": 42 }

and the "bar" field has a default value of 5, you unpack like:

var msg struct {
Foo int
Bar *int
}
err := json.Unmarshal(data, &msg)
//handle error
if msg.Bar == nil {
defaultValue := 5
msg.Bar = &defaultValue
}

If you cannot change the type of the message to have a pointer field, you can implement json.Unmarshaler for the receiving type such that UnmarshalJSON deserializes into a temporary type, then copies the values into the recipient:

type Message struct {
Foo int
Bar int
}

func (m *Message) UnmarshalJSON(in []byte) error {
var msg struct {
Foo int
Bar *int
}
err := json.Unmarshal(data, &msg)
if err != nil {
return err
}
m.Foo = msg.Foo
m.Bar = 5
if msg.Bar != nil {
m.Bar = *msg.Bar
}
return nil
}

Now you can deserialize into Message (or into a struct containing a Message or *Message or []Message or whatever) and it will fill in the correct default value.

By 4x "increase" in 10%. he means you'd become 4x faster at things that take 10% of your time currently (the other 90% corresponds to the "coming up with solution" / "wtf" moments).

That means for a job that takes 10 + 90 units of time, the 10 section would be done in 2.5, for a total effort of 92.5 instead of 100. That's an improvement of 100/92.5 - 1 = ~8.1% in productivity.
Depends. There's nothing special about the Amiga itself; there are many 2500s out there.

I DO think however, that the contents of the hard-drive need archiving and given over to archive.org - providing NASA are OK with that of course.

What scares me a little bit is that the seller has clearly performed some 'write' operations on the data - you can see him running LHA to extract an archive. If he's done that then there is no telling what else he's done and what may have been lost or contaminated in the process. :(

Looking at the price he's clearly just trying to cash in, and has no interest in it's real historic value.

I looked at the guidelines many times even before creating an account, but apparently my definition of civil and other people differ. Perhaps you could be more specific in the guidelines.

A comment about the carelessness of a ex employee regarding his own privacy and the reputation of the company he worked for (and yes that can be a bad thing to do, reminding somebody of that i tend to consider civil) and a hyperbolic statement regarding the accusation of 'doxing', as it just required a single google search, don't seem uncivil to me.
It's not as simple as that. The problem is that YOLO can process ~100 FPS, where a frame is something like 250x250 pixels. If you want to process high resolution, you have to sweep a 250x250 "window" across the high res image and run Yolo on each. Then you have to figure out which objects were multiply counted due to the windowing. Even if the windows don't overlap (which they should) Yolo might detect the left half of a person in one window and the right half in the next.

Once you've done all that, a top end GPU can handle about 4 FPS (assuming 1080P input).

Then the problem is that YOLO will occasionally miss blindingly obvious objects. That combined with the fact that you've only got 4 FPS means that detecting the direction of a person is hard - they tend to move across the camera's field of view before you've got enough data to be confident what just happened. A person walking from left to right looks the same as someone walking off the left of the frame and then someone different walking onto the right of the next frame.

At some point its easier, cheaper and more accurate to install an IR laser beam and count the breaks. You'll save about half a kilowatt too.

Another interesting point is that YOLO is pre-trained on hundreds of object classes. This feels like a waste. I wanted to retrain it with all but the people class removed from the training set. My learned colleague suggested that was a stupid idea because YOLO learns general info about how to separate objects from backgrounds from all the object classes. Not showing it surfboards makes it worse at detecting people. Crazy.
Who gives any right for anything?

The question is, how much moral value you want to grant to a life of a monkey (not ape in this case). Most people wouldn't give it anything close to human-life level, at which point we're potentially open for experiments like these.

Assuming they're not doing it just for the kicks, but actually trying to make helpful discoveries about brains, the moral calculus will favour this experiment.

And if you do think a monkey's life is as important as human life, then well... you'll find many other more important moral violations to solve that have nothing to do with scientific experiments.

High bandwidth GDDR5 is more expensive than DDR4. HBM is more expensive again. On top of that the high bandwidth chips are lower density, and the complexity of higher bandwidth links gets more complicated as you get more chips involved.

Low end servers use normal dimm, but typically not many dimms per channel, typically 1-3. But to hit the higher memory configurations you end up putting buffer chips on the dimms which makes them more expensive and also slightly higher latency.

So 500GB/sec to 128GB ram using HBM2 would be difficult, expensive, and likely wouldn't fit in today's GPU form factors... yet.

GPUs generally seem to be mostly hungry for more bandwidth and not that many cases (percentage wise) is 16GB a major limitation. However in those cases check out the power9, the nvlink that x86's uses for GPU<->GPU communication can be used for CPU <-> GPU communication and avoid the high latency/low bandwidth pci-e links.
Suppose you spend 9 hours looking at the code and one hour actually editing code, and the latter is the only part that can be made faster (if we are to believe grandparent). Now, suppose this technology makes you 4x faster at editing code. Then you'll spend 15 minutes instead of one hour editing the code, and a total of 9 hours and 15 minutes. This is roughly 8% less time than you would have otherwise spent. Productivity, being the reciprocal of the time it takes for you to do the task in question, this is an increase in productivity of roughly 8%.

I find the interpretation of the event to be interesting. The atlas obscura link here and the Wikipedia link in the other HN thread both make it sound like the intention was to be a hoax, to make people believe something false. But most of the Russian observers of the actual event that are commenting here say it hardly "fooled" anyone, it was just funny. I wonder if the show was meant more as satire or parody, as in "let me make fun of the stuff they used to feed us on TV, now that access to media is more open." So it would've been a very self-aware performance, aimed at an audience that was attuned enouh to pick up on the humor. The cognitive dissonance of the mushroom Lenin was a parody of the years of cognitive dissonance from the official propaganda on tv.

I'm not sure where the hoax interpretation comes from. The atlas obscura article seems mostly sourced from Wikipedia, or vice versa, it's hard to tell. Calling it a hoax may be more of a western misinterpretation, one that reveals a bias in believing the Russian public was unsophisticated and easily fooled.

Also sometims truth is stranger than fiction. Nature's prior art is a mushroom that takes over ants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiocordyceps_unilateralis

I have tried to train myself to do this a lot of times. However, most of the links I open come from other applications, except for HN or googling I rarely open links from webpages. This always results in links opening in random windows.

My final solution is to use two browsers and pinned tabs. I use Safari for slacking off and googling. And chrome for work related stuff with pinned tabs for Jira, Jenkins and what not. I then use Browser Fairy to redirect links from various applications to one or the other browser (e.g. everything from iTerm gets opened in safari, stuff from slack gets a prompt, non associated apps open links in Chrome)

I still accumulate crud in my Chrome tabs, but at least it is livable.
I don't know why you're downvoted. Generics is a feature that's holding back a lot of developers dealing with complicated business logic (and need for abstraction) from moving to Go. And at the same time, including generics into the language means that all libraries will add generics interfaces - and most probably, stop supporting the old, non-generic interfaces in some time into the future, breaking backwards compatibility at some point.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release Date and New Features
You hit the nail on the head about how we need more complex stories. I'm not sure if this is a result of me getting older but I think people in general are getting more prone to black vs. white thinking over time (which I suspect is due to becoming bombarded with ads which are always either very positive/funny/nice or vitriolic, or an increasingly polarizing and histrionic media, but I digress). Even movies made for adults usually have some fixed, obvious good guys vs. bad guys these days.

I don't think it's that nobody can understand things anymore, or even that people don't want to, I think people simply don't want to limit their potential sales by making things too difficult to understand. Big studios don't make movies like The Hateful Eight (which I thought was great because it didn't have good guys) because they don't appeal to enough people, and writers don't write with nuance anymore because you get the most impressions if you simply pander to a specific political camp.
