I think once autonomous systems demonstrate combat effectiveness, they will be integrated just fine. As an infantry veteran of many tours, I can tell you there will always be a preference for other people who are closer to the fight, in any situation, both on and off the battlefield. We like to stick to our own, because the 90% of the military that doesn't actually do the fighting is like a whole other stupid universe (about which I have many shocking and hilarious stories). So of course if you ask someone to choose between a human in an Apache on standby or a human in Las Vegas controlling a drone loitering over the city, you're going to get a preference for the former.

But if these autonomous systems are framed as pieces of equipment augmenting the infantry soldier and not as some kind of replacement, they will be quickly assimilated into the fight and this won't really be an issue. I mean of course as the technology improves and it becomes a reliable, effective force multiplier and not a complex piece of shit that makes your job harder (or your position easier to find, or your life more dangerous, etc etc). Framing it as a replacement for something that humans already do pretty well is the wrong way to do it, however, and I'm sure in that case it will always face stiff resistance from infantry soldiers.

If the "compiler as framework" idea sounds interesting to you, and you don't mind a little Scala, this paper might also be of interest to you: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web...
This basically turns it into a tax. You are saying that it will make more money for you than it costs to renew the fee. This would cause the vast majority of copyright held works to fall into the public domain even if the fee is very small.

I'm in favor of making the fee increase exponential though, just to make sure the things do eventually end up in the public domain. Say the first 20 years are free. Next 10 years are some nominal fee, maybe a couple of hundred bucks, but then you have to renew every 10 years and the fee increases one order of magnitude each time. Would Disney be willing to pay 20 billion dollars to keep Star Wars out of the public domain in 2077? Of course a billion dollars might be pocket change by then, who knows?

Hey HN!

I was a huge fan of Sunrise calendar. It was amazing, in my opinion. I was pretty bummed out when they closed shop. I’ve been looking for an alternative ever since and haven’t found anything good. I have found other options to be too clunky and not as effective.

So I kinda put together Buttercal as a weekend hack. You can test it out here without signing up - https://buttercal.com/demo

I’d love any feedback on how this can be made more awesome for you! :)

Thanks so much for your time!

As much as i want to like it, i have troubles thinking of templates as something that questions the status-quo. The other big thing seems to be loading effort, but react has gotten so small (react+react-dom = 29kb, react+react-dom-lite 15kb, preact-compat 4kb), there's not really an impact any longer. And as for performance, could Svelte even approach something like the Sierpinski demo - something that would allow React to finally breach the gap between native and web performance?

When look at fiber and react-reconciler, it seems to me react is already contemplating the future. The reconciler especially.
Most of the time someone puts an WebGL demo here, it fails to work consistently across all my mobile devices.

The most compelling part is the last paragraph describing the "Campaign":

> By April 1960, Chinese leaders realized that sparrows ate a large amount of insects, as well as grains.[7][8] Rather than being increased, rice yields after the campaign were substantially decreased.[9][8] Mao ordered the end of the campaign against sparrows, ... as [their] extermination ... upset the ecological balance... . By this time, however, it was too late. With no sparrows to eat them, locust populations ballooned, swarming the country and compounding the ecological problems already caused by the Great Leap Forward, including widespread deforestation and misuse of poisons and pesticides.[9] Ecological imbalance is credited with exacerbating the Great Chinese Famine, in which 20–45 million people died of starvation.[10][11]
Those are probably faked, right? Or it's only fake when it doesn't support the narrative you choose to believe?

It's quite clear: the victims of the "GamerGate" movement received death threats, so GamerGate supporters faked receiving death threats to make the other side also look bad. See? It's easy to manufacture an unverifiable tale to advance an agenda.

Some portable / embedded databases come to mind. Also "normal" databases doing replication initiation, and replication re-sync. And lastly backup, restore, tar, etc with small files. For files under a handful of pages long mmap() isn't a big gain.

Another syscall I think that might cause issues is gettimeofday(), that particular call has been optimised to the nth degree, and lots of user programs spam the crap out of it (mostly necessarily), especially networking and streaming programs. It would be interesting to see how much of an overhead percentagewise page table isolation will cost, and its effects on low end media devices, et al.

Some professors have had 20+ years to digest an enormous amount of information. Keep in mind they have 2 major advantages over people in industry when learning this stuff.

At universities that offer PhDs, being a professor forces you to develop a strong theoretical foundation, which makes it easier to grasp the theory of related subjects. Example: If you have a deep understanding of math/statistics theory, it's much easier to understand a paper on machine learning, even if you're not a computer science professor.

Professors at research oriented universities supervise PhD research students and each student tends to be a multiplier on their supervisor's knowledge since each PhD is a collection and extension of an existing research area. A good PhD student is basically a massive funnel of information.

I'll also say, don't ascribe more abilities or skills to a professor than what you see in the presentation. Sometimes having a strong theoretical orientation/experience comes at the expense of a practical one. Don't assume that having a strong theoretical foundation in Stats/ML automatically makes you a good Data Scientist or ML Engineer.

Definitely agree. What would be really great is an easy way to symc the status between client and server, with generators for the api and a client library to manage the status which could then be used with react or any other similar front end framework.

While we dint exactly hire but we had an even worse situation. A particular developer from our team was conducting "real time" training outside office. He referred two guys for a particular job opening.

While interviewing the first guy, in-person interview, we asked about process flows at his last job. The answer was uncannily similar to what we were doing. We were intrigued and dug deeper. It became apparent to us that he was describing our process back to us. When we asked about what OS his current employer was using for prod systems, he folded. So, we ended the interview.

The 2nd guy, again in-person interview, repeated the same process flow. And he came prepared. He said the prod systems were Windows. When we pushed about the Windows flavor he answered Windows 10. He had never heard of the server version of Windows like 2012 R2. The best part was that he somehow thought the job was already in the bag. So whenever we asked a difficult questions his answers were pretty passive aggressive.

Though I complained to both HR and developer's US manager, nothing came out of it. All reports were ignored.

Because addiction is an empirical behavioral phenomenon (you can't stop taking it and it makes your life worse) whereas tolerance+withdrawal are physical phenomena that correlate with, but are not, addiction. Current understanding is basically "addiction means not having your shit together," described in terms of predisposing factors such as stress, depression, physical dependence etc.
