What the parent comment is talking about is something more extreme and I've noticed it too. It sometimes changes prior words that are valid after you have moved on to the next word. It's not correcting the word you just typed, it's correcting a previous word without any sort of feedback like you get for normal corrections- it's going backwards and changing earlier words, and then you try and fix it but the exact same correction applies automatically again over and over.

Unfortunately I can't remember any examples at the moment, it's just something that happens to me every so often. They're really irritating though, because they aren't well expressed in the current autocorrect UI (which works on the current word) and it doesn't seem to get the hint when you go back and correct it, so it keeps applying it over and over.

Segregated Witness was increasing the block size, but the trivial block size increase that Bitcoin Cash was doing was not a scalable solution because the old transaction message format had a quadratic worst case processing time.

The problem with it is that Bitcoin adaption is extremely fast (10x last year), and securely implementing and testing all these scalability solutions take years.
It's not a new problem. The term TFA is at least 18 years old; predates reddit, digg, and maybe even slashdot itself.

If you aren't verifying the block chain you don't have to rely on a trusted third party. You ask a third party and then check with a couple other third parties to verify what the first gave you. Big difference.

Do you know that, or is it your conjecture? There are a lot of other possible reasons to use $500 as a limit. For example, preventing people from structuring withdrawals at the ATM, preventing an accident from producing too much cash, limiting the frequency with which ATMs need to be serviced, and limiting the downside of unauthorized withdrawals.

It is true in some sense that the banking system is eventually consistent, because commands can be issued asynchronously. For example, you can issue a check, and expect it to be drawn in the future. However, that does not necessarily apply to the ledger itself, and given what I understand about banking technology, I'm somewhat surprised if it is truly as you describe.

If it is indeed a conjecture of yours, I urge you to make it more clear in your comments when you are speculating and when you are speaking with authority.
It just needs to hold each account in a separate trust with a specified policy.
We do this during request execution in our Ruby services. We tell the GC to pre-allocate a few GBs of memory, and then explicitly suspend GC until the end of the request. Then we do a single GC run.
I think the solution would be for some sort of personal proxy that captures all the searches and webpages we visit. Then when we go to make new searches, we can first search locally (to re-find things we're thinking of) and then externally (to find new things). Not sure if something like this exists yet
Because as a lead, they may know a lot more about something, or have experience with it, or have thought about the specific problem space a lot more.

Sometimes it's that classic, "I can do it in 4 hours, but you will take 2 days. You do it, and learn something, and next time we'll be equals" kind of thing.
The "Gigablock Initiative" presented at the recent "Scaling Bitcoin" conference tests exactly that. They found that Bitcoin Cash can easily scale on chain to VISA levels using standard desktop machines.

The same would apply to Bitcoin scaling on chain.
Then you just lock your machines down when there's no internet access.
What annoys me the most is that Google seemingly no longer allows searching for phrases at all. In the past I could search for a specific phrase like this..

"It never rains on a Wednesday in Rockshire"

..and Google would return websites containing that exact phrase. That no longer works. Nowadays parentheses are largely ignored as far as I can tell. This is super annoying because quite often I am really looking for a website/websites containing a specific phrase.

It seems they internally switched to indexing single words only. So if you search for a phrase Google will instead return websites containing (some of) the words in your phrase in no specific order and maybe not even next to each other.

I think I understand why: Indexing / searching based on words is massively easier and massively less resource intense than a system which can search for specific phrases.

Furthermore the type of searches Google wants/expects you to do e.g. "best hairdryer" work well enough, in fact work better if you only search for single words and then filter / organize the results using AI / using information you have collected about the user.

EDIT: I was wrong. It still does work for many phrases, just not the ones I tend to search for. See below.

EDIT 2: I actually have no idea what is going on there. I know that searching for exact phrases doesn't work for me like it used to but I have no idea why..

It is dramatically different -- so different, in fact, that I suspect you haven't even attempted to think about it. Maybe willfully so.

You are a person entitled to rights. A company is not a person. Border searches are warrantless, arbitrary, and lack any oversight whatsoever. The company was searched by a court order signed by a judge for suspicion of a specific crime. In every way possible, these situations are entirely different.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s “I Have a Dream” Speech Washington DC, August 1963
In the sense that those processors can compute things which are computable, yes, they are a real alternative. The correct question is, "How much worse would the situation have to be with Intel before the cost of these alternatives was less than the benefit of switching to one of them." The answer, I guess, is: "much worse than things are now." However, if you're running at billions in revenue per quarter, you can afford to spend a few million to limit your downside risk by keeping yourself apprised of what the costs would be of moving to another platform.

Hmm. I just tried to reproduce this with old posts of my own and couldn't. I picked random phrases from five early 2006 blog posts that get basically no traffic and searched for them:

"I had been playing the accordion Davy lent to
Rosie during winter break"

"The language they're using is not that different
from the one I wrote PlayGUI to use"

"I've been playing a decent amount of music lately,
mostly guitar and piano."

"warm dry socks was the most important aspect of the
festival"

"This wouldn't be that bad, if it was not exactly what
happened a year and a half ago."

Google found all three. For each one there were either 2 or 3 results: first my old post, then one or two from rssing.com which seems to do something with my rss feed.

Trying them with Bing, it also found all five of my posts, and ranked them first in four cases. In the fifth case ("This wouldn't be that bad, if it was not exactly what happened a year and a half ago.") it ranked a goodhousekeeping.com post higher, which had all the individual words but none of the phrases.

(Disclosure: I work for Google, though not in search.)
That's a relevant point - the 380 needs more separation, typically 3 minutes instead of 2. However most of the big "hub" airports are just as constrained by gate availability as by raw landing slots, and the capacity of the 380 makes up the difference (they get paid by passenger and MTOW).

For example, an airport like heathrow might have 3 gates free and 8 minutes clear air on the runway. They could take 2 a380s at 0 and 3 minutes for ~900 passengers, or 3 787s (0, 2, 4 minutes) for about the same number pax. In both cases the runway is clear at 6 minutes, but with the 380 they have a gate free. If they can get another plane then they're ahead. And the numbers get even better if you replace the 787s with narrowbodies..

There is deception in your comment too:

- You are misreading your charts. The real-world median txn fee is far from $1.50... it's $13: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-median_transact...

- A real-world txn is on average 500 bytes, not 250.

- Although you can have multiple recipients/outputs in a single txn ("batch transactions"), it is not used very often. I computed not too long ago 2.6 outputs on average (https://mobile.twitter.com/zorinaq/status/934442392501063685). If batching was unused, we would expect on average 2 outputs. One reason batching is uncommon is that it is by nature doable only by services sending multiple transactions per block, eg. a hosted wallet provider. I can't batch the occasional txns sent from my local phone wallet.
> Bitcoin could be used to back currencies

but why does currency need a 'backing' like this (of which was the purpose of gold originally)?
I was looking around that site and the second graph shows a weekly median of $50ish/kB. At that .25kB rate, shouldn't it be ~$12.5USD per transaction?

Oh man, Android does that too? This awful, terrible, no good fake "AI" behavior on iOS was one of the many quality issues with modern iOS that was making Android look more attractive.

iOS keyboards have been getting worse with every update, probably as more and more engineers feel the need to make a mark, or are required to fix bugs, and they spoil it. The simple and predictable statistical model of the original iOS was better than what we have now. So much of iOS was better back then, IMHO.

I don't know what the world will look like 83 years from now, but I would bet money that the world is using crypto for currency. How about we make a bet on it?

At my startup, we have created a geth fork that uses Postgresql instead of leveldb. It took quite some effort...but we are running a full node right now. I think we are going to put in more effort there - we already implemented soft deletes,etc. Smarter people than me can probably build a better data model for the merkle trees leveraging postgres.

It's 2x slower than leveldb (if that matters to you), but given how slow a blockchain really is ...it is plenty fast enough.

I believe that it is time for developers to start thinking of single node scalability and infrastructure that is maintainable..rather than convenience.
Somewhat off topic, but I like that they named it "MENNDL". Kinda like a fellow named "Mendel".
I think part of this has to do with googles actual customer base: Adwords users. The goal of Adwords is to have every single search be worth the maximum possible value in an advertising sense. So if one person a month searches for "Office desk drawer repairman Concord California" they do not want to service that very detailed long tail search, that would minimize value for themselves and maximize it for the advertiser.
They want to treat that search in a vague sense so they can display more ads for their customers and charge for each display and click.
But that's consistent with what people mean when they say 'gold has intrinsic value.' All they are saying is it 'has some value that is not one of the three functions of money.'

Does anyone know what the above logical fallacy would be named? I see this kind of argumentation a lot: where one refutes an argument which has not been made.
How do you get that the median is between $8/kB and $4/kB from that page? I assume you are looking at the middle chart:

https://anduck.net/bitcoin/fees/fpkb_1008blocks.png

It looks like the green bars (median) are at most $50/kB to $70/kB, with a good number of dips to $30/kB and some to $12/kB.

Edit: it is a confusing chart because it has mBTC/kB on one side and USD/kB on the other. And also it assume a constant exchange rate, so it does not reflect the actual price of those transactions at the time they occurred.
Folding AI against itself does seem like the theme of the next major AI frontier. Already we have GAN networks doing incredible things.
Tea is cha in Cantonese, not te.
I am afraid neither average nor median should be used when transaction on money is involved. Most of us will not feel comfortable unless we know it upfront.

What if you end up paying on the extremely higher side? Would you feel comfortable using a system in which fees can swing wildly even for a minority of users.

Also the PS1, with Bleem.

That generation of consoles seems to have been the only one where current consoles could be emulated on a low-spec PC with good compatibility. I'm not sure why. Perhaps that PC technology was still skyrocketing in the late '90s, outstripping current consoles so rapidly that emulators didn't need to be efficient, and the console devs hadn't yet made any major attempt at DRM.
I think the pitch is that they can be 99.999% sure their vehicle won't kill anyone, vs Tesla being 99.99% sure. If you have enough vehicles on the road, that .009% could translate into quite a few affected drivers. Geofencing constrains the total number of situations to a more manageable level.

Maybe that's how they've pitched this? Otherwise, I can't imagine throwing 100M+ after a late entry to a market saturated with big players with deep pockets.

Punishment (retribution) is only one of a number of reasons to incarcerate someone (the three others normally cited are deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation). I wish we had better metrics for the probability of recidivism. If we knew with a high degree of certainty that a given murder was a one time thing, we could let the perpetrator out very early. On the other hand, if we know that the perpetrator is likely to reoffend, or if we could show that light punishments had less of a deterrent effect, or if society just wouldn't stand for a lesser punishment, we could keep them locked up for longer. Unfortunately we just don't have that level of introspection into the human psyche.
I would say you need to keep in mind that delivery of the team against product commitments should be a priority, and being able to do that in a long term sustainable way is very important. So in my view you should absolutely put out of your mind what you'd like to do and instead view it as what is the best way to complete the task at hand ( and making sure that can happen in a consistent reliable way). I'm a EM myself and there's no way that my day-to-day is consistent enough to code in a reliable manner especially when put up against other priorities that I have to deal with. What's more important?, you finishing a business critical feature you signed up for or helping a team member with crisis they are having dealing with another team member? (Or if you are more tech lead than people lead then compare it against more long term strategy planning and architect-ing you could be doing.)
What, were you not invited?
Google drank too much of their own koolaid. They were always seen as an "AI company", but they really weren't. As late as 2008, Google's head of AI said they used very little machine learning in search. And actually tried to avoid using it as much as possible. Because they found it very unreliable and it gave weird an unpredictable edge cases. Everything was painstakingly hand engineered.

But now we are at peak AI hype cycle. No wonder it's gone downhill. I'm sure the AI does better on whatever metrics they tell it to maximize. But AIs game the hell out of metrics. And we are still nowhere near human level intelligence. It doesn't understand your query or the content of the websites. All it has to go by is simple keyword matching and meta indicators like the size of the website.

So now basically all searches return the same handful of large websites. When was the last time you got a search that went to some niche forum? Or some small little homemade website by someone passionate about that specific subject? No, it's always a wikipedia link, followed by a bunch of contentless news articles. And there's never any point of going past page 1, because every other page is like that too.

And now the web has become this: https://www.ncta.com/sites/default/files/platform-images/wp-...
this is kind of unproductive. The job of the manager should be to push the envelope of the team as a whole. As such if he already has a high performing team, he should be as hands off as possible, focusing on other crucial areas. If not, his job is to create small proof-of-concepts of ideas and let the team take them forward.
Actually there is a great way to scale on-chain: UTXO Set Commitment allows nodes to simply discard unnecessary blockchain data (in a way not too dissimilar to classic "pruning"). The data set maintained by nodes would basically grow linearly with the UTXO Set instead of the number of txns. Eg. right now it would cut 150GB down to 3GB.

Sadly it seems under-researched.
Hey, love your project's ambition but I think it's unhelpful if you say things like, “ I still think distros are somewhat "broken", so alternative approaches are interesting to me.” (Think of all the work you've put into your shell project, now think of how much integration work must be done to keep a distro going.)

That said, I think you've highlighted _the_ problem that _all_ distros face that would get me to change distros if someone solved it. That is to say, “(Just one problem off the top of my head: packages are old, distros can't keep up with PyPI, npm, CRAN, etc.)” That is a doozy of a problem.

One last thing–you mention four things:

The trap builtin is unimplemented;

alias is also unimplemented.

set -h / hashall is a stub that does nothing.

OSH builds are in a sense "shallow".

Is there some way to get OSH to be un-shallow? For instance if I've invoked a shell script with OSH I'd probably like any shell script dialect that it can handle to have OSH invoked as well. Also, surely it would help you out with debugging OSH because you'd immediately way more lines of shell script!

Implementing `trap', `alias', `set -h' seem like no-brainers prior to 0.4

What's wrong with a continuous integration script in bash? A basic CI script just has to check source control periodically, run the build (make or something similar) and notify anyone if there's an error and maybe publish the result somewhere. I've done similar with the far less capable batch files.

Sure it's not as great as a full on CI server, but it doesn't require the same investment either. For my personal projects I have bash scripts to handle basic CI (compiling and testing), given a bit of time I think I could string cron, make, bash and m4 into a CI server that fits 90%+ of my needs.

Yeah - I 100% agree that a judge will interpret this appropriately, but the dumb idea of "corporate personhood" still means there's questions to ask about who genuinely risks going to jail in a cross jurisdictional problem like this.

It's pretty clear "Uber the legal person" is pretty happy breaking laws and has a long history of not suffering any real personal consequences. I'm reasonably sure a Canadian judge doesn't even have an existentially dangerous penalty they could apply to Uber-the-legal-person. Worst case seems to be they could shut Uber down in Canada and jail some local senior management. Uber-the-global-corporation probably has contingency plans and has determined and budgeted for that risk. That's their "business as usual".

"The law", while generally robust locally against clever constructs, is probably not as effective a tool against globally distributed corporations - at least not in a very satisfying "Yeah, someone's gonna pay for that" kind of way...
