I can recommend Frans de Waals' latest book "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?". It's an easy read that gives you an overview of the kind of animal intelligence research that is being done and how it evolved over time. It covers a wide variety of species, not only primates.

It's a reasonable reflex to look for intelligence in animals that are closest to us. But I think I can relate with what you are saying. Although it makes sense in the historical scheme of things, we are generally still convinced that humans are superior to animals. While that might be true for some cases, there is a lot of research that has shown us that animals, not only primates, can surpass us when it comes to specific cognitive tasks. We're probably the best all rounders intelligence wise, but we're definitely not the best in absolute terms. The title of de Waals book encapsulates exactly that and much more, but you'll have to read it to figure that out ;)

> Intelligence isn't as strong a determinant as you claim, in either direction.

Your claim is incorrect.

EDIT: over the course of one generation, higher intelligence leads to a dramatically higher income. In the long run, if this effect continues, this will be compounded as higher intelligence parents are also higher income parents (by hypothesis).
I found them very relaxing. Like watching your coffee
IANAL. Discriminating against someone because of their political activities is illegal in California. Whether simply holding and/or expressing views consistent with a political party counts as a 'political activity' or if there's a higher criteria is a question for a lawyer.

Also, my understanding of how discrimination laws work is that the question of 'protected class' doesn't come into it - if the discrimination was based on race or gender, it's illegal.

It doesn't have to be like that. We could rely on periodic snapshots of the blockchain for future validation. We could even selectively include specific data in the snapshots to be preserved. Maybe some group might need to store the entire history of the blockchain but there is a lot of room for innovation to solve this scaling dilemma.
Well, the comment is really bad. PR or no PR Microsoft did what users would have really wanted if it worked. You can blame Microsoft for it, but they were not the ones, who ignored users best interests here.

And, indeed, was it that same sadness which stagnated, fermented, and evolved into the obvious hatred and antisocial behaviors that she exhibits here?
Replying to my own note, the cost is controversial, and plenty of people don't want to spend money on infrastructure, or have endless arguments over we'll just use driverless cars, only spend money on roads, or only spend money on buses, etc. But somehow we managed to pass something here.
See this is why you wait a day or two before patching :)
A lot of people in this thread seem to think that this is a neural network that takes an image and produces HTML, when that's not the case here at all.

This is a neural network that takes an image and predicts very simple blocks (like BODY, TEXT, BTN-GREEN in the bootstrap example) and then uses a map to convert them to well-formed HTML. While I think it's a great learning example I think it's important to note that this does generalize at all to any other websites -- you are NOT going to replace an actual person writing HTML with anything like this.

You can see the mapping here: https://github.com/emilwallner/Screenshot-to-code-in-Keras/b...
> If the demand falls, then the price of labor (the wage) must also fall.

Which doesn't follow from "the amount of work to do is infinite" which implies infinite demand for labor.

Speaking on the whole, or course supply and demand determines the cost of labor (up to a point) but it isn't a valid argument against "there will always be work that needs doing."

> Maybe Apple has embraced one of these "Agile" methodologies where you basically eliminate your QA group in the promise that developer created unit and integration tests can cover the quality gap.

WTF are you talking about, there is no Agile methodolgy about getting ride of QA. Sounds like you have a problem with Agile, so are looking for some reason to drag it in. You might as well blame the keyboards they use.

The Next Bechdel Test
Hello everyone! Oliver, the CEO of Voyage and YC alum (2011) here.

I got started in the self-driving car world as a member of the team that built Udacity's self-driving car curriculum, and also an open source self-driving car. This industry is crazy fun and moving ridiculously fast.

Let me know if I can answer any questions at all about absolutely anything.

We're really excited about bringing Level-4 transportation to the world, but especially so at places like The Villages, Florida. Whether it’s helping those with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, vision impairment, or just those who want to get around with less friction, we’ve seen first-hand the positive impact autonomous transportation can have for seniors.
But why would they join if they're not going to support (as in use) the codec ?

They joined AOM at the highest level, which means they get a seat on the board of directors, I can't see any reason why they would do this unless they have decided to use it on their products.
Question in my mind as a user of LAX: WHERE is the private terminal and does it get me out of the nightmare of LAX evening traffic? That would be a strong point in your favor. And also, does rideshare pick up there smoothly? Will you be working with Uber/Lyft to make sure that they are fully aware of the location? What about rental car services, are any accessible from the private terminal?
"Beginning in early 2018, we’ll start rolling out a door-to-door self-driving taxi service to residents."

Now? Isn't that a bit optimistic? To me it looks like they have just one car for testing. At least they understand that they need the environment mapped to a very fine degree.
Yes, you go from 8 df in the control to 7 df (instead of from 4 to 3). So, you could basically "hang" the weight off the remaining diagonal, and then use the working off-diagonal rotors to keep roll/yaw/pitch in line. But then the rotors on the diagonal have to generate twice the force. I'd rather not be a pax in this when two rotors fail.
Eh, sometimes they do for the sake of brand preservation. If personal safety is at risk they will do a recall, either voluntary or mandated by the NHTSA.
Ah, "since" was being used inclusive, not exclusive. That's the English language for you!
Human behind the wheel today. A key reason we choose private communities is that we see it as a way to remove that Test Driver much faster, though.
I am using firebase for storage currently the model is completely free , once you create enough dashboards you can request extra space also for free ( for all early adopter and for the foreseeable future )
I'd argue in part you're both right about A. Good devs (those can keep running up the abstraction chain) will always be useful. But the bar for what a "good dev" is keeps getting higher as we introduce more and more abstraction. The sheer amount of knowledge and understanding that the average dev needs in order to be productive AND understand what's going on enough under the hood (to the point where they're not doing stupid things constantly) keeps getting larger.

Think back to CS in the 70s - AFAIK, the majority of the field that was understood is now covered before an undergraduate gets to their upper division classes. We're now expected to understand things at a much higher level of abstraction, but we ALSO need to know how logic gates and machine code works in order to fully understand what we're doing.

The 'incubation period' to produce a good dev is going to keep growing. The ones that make it to full dev maturity are going to be more productive than ever before, but fewer people will make it there.
>Humans like to be in control.

So much brainpower and investment in the US is being devoted to building great software. Meanwhile, US infrastructure, which was the envy of the world 50 years ago, is now crumbling everywhere: roads, bridges, tunnels, trains, train stations, airports, etc. Power grids too.
As long as you stick with the defaults and fix warnings and linter errors it should be mostly painless (<4 hours).

This repo is really useful: https://github.com/cexbrayat/angular-cli-diff

It lets you diff a simple project generated with different versions of angular-cli; that way you can easily see the any configuration options etc that have changed between releases.
This is a fairly minor bug, since, apparently, it’s only happens when already logged in as admin (and it’s “just” App Store prefs). (I get that you can come up with scenarios to exploit this, but come in.)

But, wow, how many bugs is this for High Sierra where a password prompt can be bypassed?

It’s like password prompt flu is going around Apple.

Was there bad sample code distributed or some change in the default behavior of some key API? (In addition to the obviously inadequate testing.)
I guess it would make more sense to me if there was something connecting all these issues. (Besides the inadequate testing.)
When I obscure the true image on the left side, it's very hard to predict the truth from the computer/brain imaging on the right. With one exception: the tech does a mighty fine job with geometric shapes.

(I wonder how it would do with playing cards.)

Oddly, with non-geometric images, I see a lot of faces (especially dog faces). Is the brain prioritising facial recognition? Is the subject a dog lover? Do the two recurring dark spots represent the eyes' blind spots?

I dunno, but I find these demos remarkable.
great idea ! to start off with a pre-filled todo list
Thank you
> There is no (finished) Cocoa for Mac.

This is true but in practice the Carbon backend will work fine and if that isn't good enough you can use the Qt backend which uses Cocoa (but then you'd have to bundle Qt with your app which increases its distribution size a bit). To preempt a "then why not just use Qt" reaction, this isn't the same as using Qt since you can use the Win32 and Gtk backends in the other platforms.

Cocoa is of course under heavy development, but keep in mind that there are only a handful of Lazarus developers that even have access to a Mac and they actually had to write a special dialect for the compiler (Objective Pascal) to be able to handle Cocoa objects directly without the need of an intermediate (like Qt that needs libqt4pas that exposes the Qt API as a C interface that is then linked dynamically with FPC through a C-to-Pascal binding).

> Development is not on Github.

This is not a negative, please do not enforce the GitHub monoculture, GitHub is not the be all end all of open source development.

> Syntax has no common style.

What do you mean? The IDE even provides formatting tools.

> Documentation is uneven.

Documentation is lacking in terms of detail but generally you can find stuff easily and things have improved tremendously over the last five years or so (it used to be that you had to have some old Delphi help file to find anything or dig into the source code).

> The whole ecosystem feels (well, is) dated.

Sorry but this doesn't mean anything, please be more specific because this feels like you just want to mudsling.

> But to really shine and be a valid alternative, it would need a large infusion of money and manpower.

Careful what you wish for, because more often than not having a company become a dominant player, it ends up steering a project against the wishes of the community. Lazarus, like Free Pascal, are fully community made projects and most of the people who work on it do it on their free time. On one hand you get a few rough areas like those you mentioned (immature Cocoa support, spotty documentation, etc) but on the other hand you do not have anyone throwing their weight around. For me Lazarus being community driven is a major feature.

The biggest problem Lazarus has is simply the lack of developers, but this will only be solved with developers fixing the issues they face. Fortunately i've seen a lot of new blood lately in the mailing lists so i expect things to improve.
From the abstract:

"The results demonstrate that intelligence is a powerful predictor of success but, on the whole, not an overwhelmingly better predictor than parental SES"

I.e., intelligence is about as likely to explain success (or lack thereof) as parental income. This is exactly what I was saying -- if you want to guess whether a 5 year old is going to succeed, take a look at their parents.

In short, I don't think this paper is the home-run for your case that you think it is. If what you're claiming is true, we'd expect intelligence to be radically better as a predictor than SES. But it isn't.

The paper also notes some important criticisms that cut that right to the core of your use of this paper in the context of the "nature vs nurture" debate.

Edit: the second component of your edit (" In the long run...") is absolutely NOT justified by the paper you cite, and is wild conjecture at best.
even if it affects all speculative CPUs, if this happened in the car world, all the cars would be recalled. Not saying that is practical in computer world...just continuing with the analogy.

Spectre/Meltdown is a wakeup call for many things, one of them probably being for computer manufacturers to not solder the CPU to the Motherboard and for the x86 world to stick with a standard socket, to facilitate replacing parts.
This might be the best solution .. we will check the feasibility of it
I don't think it will be decades. AI and DL are on a very fast pace the last 2-3 years and progress increases exponentially.
We are an optimistic bunch, and it will be a slow rollout (constrained by vehicle build-outs), but we also have experience launching such self-driving taxi services.

We have a service that's live today in San Jose that serves tons of (repeat) riders daily. We've learned a lot there that we're applying directly to Florida.
I realize government is fueled by apathy and paperwork, but this isn't workers sitting around doing nothing and barraging applicants with forms...everything about this system suggests the opposite-- social workers are incentivized to actively kick people off the books. It's a cost center, not a revenue generator.

How many times a year does any other agency need copies of your children's birth certificates or social security cards? How many times a year does the DMV need to schedule phone interviews with you to ask the exact same questions you answered on the application and in every subsequent interview? This is actual work they're having to do, and lots of it.

When you go to file your taxes, how often is the only channel available to you a fax machine, the receiving end of which is always conveniently out of paper? Not to mention the hundred pages (in the case of Medicaid) you're expected to shove through it at $.10 a page, since who the hell has a landline or fax machine at home anymore.

There's no number you can call, no email you can write, no mail ever reaches their office and anything hand-delivered ends up languishing in the inbox under the desk. You can physically go to the office and spend all day in the waiting room, only to be told "we're working on it." They're completely inaccessible.

Every time they demand your attention, it's an opportunity for them to say you failed to respond...the consequences of which are always immediate termination. Anybody who's played the rebate or health insurance games should recognize how this works. Both systems are designed to minimize payouts by disqualifying as many applicants as possible.

But again, hopefully California is different, and I'm glad to see people get utility out of this service. It's just sad that it's necessary in the first place.
It can't be quite as simple as that. Because the amount of money they can extract from such a thing doesn't depend on the amount of patents covering it -- it only depends on how much people are willing to pay for a video codec.

What I can imagine is that every single stakeholder who had some kind of video patent would want to get a share of that pie, so they played whatever political game they could to bloat the spec to include their own patent.
I'm sure Intel has a liability insurance policy that covers this type of thing.
All excellent points... particularly the part about how gratifying it is to fly. It is amazing.

I just wanted to expand on the part about getting your ticket in 35 hours by doing it via Part 141: if you can hack it then you'll be better prepared for instrument training which (IMHO) is also structured and rigorous. And as you stated requires even more hours, so anything to help reduce costs is (again, IMHO) welcome.
That might be the cost of the water today, but history suggests that the price of water can fluctuate wildly. This is doubly true of the marginal cost beyond a certain baseline, which, again, fluctuates. Even without a drought or increase in regional population, you are vulnerable to (utility price, not CPI) inflation after ~5 years. The math for computing a break even period thus becomes squishy.

There are many people that place great value on being partially-off-the-grid, on (conspicuous) conservation, and enjoy DIY projects.
For sure. I'm sure that autogen won't be on par with a human, just faster.

Squarespace is simultaneously worse than what _any-decent-designer_ would put together AND better than an average marketing website.
The problem is not lack of brainpower, but rather lack of political will. Specifically, the fact that one of the major parties has no interest in governing and that the pitiful state of compulsory education has created a populace too stupid to stop voting for them.
I'd agree and say you don't need it here either but compared to a number of other blockchains I'd guess it is a very reasonable idea.
Its pretty cookie cutter, and also expensive. The one thing I do appreciate is that its free of the homeless/panhandlers that one often finds in Downtown Austin.

>Don't leave out the part where you get the excitement of learning how to fly a fucking plane all by yourself though.

Absolutely dude! That is the best part. Although the destinations it opens up and how much closer they are is also priceless. If I had the means I'd be hopping into a Grumman Tiger or Mooney 201 and haring off to other parts of Texas or Louisiana every weekend.

One of my fondest memories is taking a Mooney 20C for a family reunion. Twelve hours of driving turned into a 5.5 hour rental which included flying there, back and some touch and goes so I could get endorsed for the plane.

Up until that point I'd never flown that high but when the Mooney growled up to 9,000 feet and the Texas summer heat fell away I was hooked. In no time at all my instructor and I descended to pass over the city park to wing waggle a few times before landing to find one of my uncles grinning and waving as we landed. It was magic.
There probably should be a menu of them, actually, corresponding to the different specializations in the industry.

Low level library and performance related coding exams, for example, should have heavy emphasis on basic, practical data structures and algorithms and other CS topics. These should not be leetcode style trivia problems except inasmuch as there is some overlap with the basics.

Another might focus on things like systems engineering (e.g. requirements analysis, composition of software components, safety factors, etc.).

I'd love to live in a world where all political problems were concentrated in a single party that enjoyed no support from smart people. I don't think that's our world, though.
I can't imagine a court doing anything. The cost to intel is simply to high, and its not like they were negligent given that ARM/POWER/etc are all vulnerable to some extent too.

This whole thing is the equivalent of discovering that if someone throws enough nails on the road your car will blow a tire, spin out of control and kill you. With the kneejerk reaction of trying to fill everyone's tires with concrete to avoid the tires blowing out rather than trying to figure out how to keep people from throwing nails on the road (with the idea that spiteful users are more likely on toll roads) in the first place.
