Is the clips still for sale?
Graham's Number used to be the biggest number I could name, but now I understand that TREE(3) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal%27s_tree_theorem ) is bigger still by a truly incredible amount (and TREE(1) = 1, and TREE(2) = 3).

Unfortunately I don't understand that Wiki page.

The page links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman%27s_SSCG_function , which is supposedly even bigger but I can't follow the text of the first page so won't attempt to read that.
> There is no such thing as "work stops when you leave the office"

um...I dunno about _you_ but it sure as hell applies to me. I leave my home office for the day and work stops. Emergency fires that affect customers are the only exception and i would help with those even if i didn't work at home. Being able to set boundaries like that when you work from home is _critical_ to maintaining mental health and minimizing stress.
> not as a craftman, but as a brand

That's reductionist. Warhol's craft was in recognising and willfully exploiting brand culture. He described the celebrity culture we now live with, and made a job out of being the one who understood how it worked. He wasn't just signing "worthy" stuff; he was showing people how the mechanisms of brand-building and celebrity culture actually work: by repetition and labelling/signing/appropriating. He branded the brands like brands branded the world, and he did it over and over with minor variations, exactly like they do.

He was not without his flaws, but he wasn't just some sort of "gatekeeper of cool". He obviously didn't think an artist exists to validate this or that brand; the validation was a side-effect of his artistic craft. This is why trying to "play Warhol" today, using different brands or imagery, is just stupid, in artistic terms: he's done it already, it's all there already and there is nothing else to say on that particular subject.

The 10 Reasons Most Machine Learning Funds Fail
A great rule - always look ahead of car you're following. If you can't (e.g truck or bus), either give it a fair amount of distance or overtake. If neither is possible, stay super cautious.
Well...

I got nothing. :-)
This doesn’t sound like an AI problem; it sounds like a context problem that no one (not even a human) besides yourself could resolve with the available data.
If you want "pain to configure and modify", take a look at sendmail, which was the standard for decades.

Thanks for sharing this! Vim is the kind of tool I use all the time, but never check for new features. Will definitely use :terminal all the time now :).

(For anyone interested, it looks like only more recent releases of vim 8 have :terminal.)
> And it's not much of a problem if every human in a semi-autonomous vehicle followed the automakers' explicit, insistent instructions to pay attention at all times, and take back control if they see a stationary vehicle up ahead.

While their technical reasoning is fine... this statement shows a complete failure of reasoning about human beings and UX. In essence they are asking people to stay alert without being active, this is actually really fucking hard to do as a human being. Noticing an object that needs to be avoided while you are already actively engaged in driving is easy, you are naturally alert and there is no "intervention time" because there is nothing to intervene with. Trying to achieve the same level of response while letting a machine drive kind of defeats the purpose of letting the machine drive.

Yes I'm basically making the argument that semi-autonomous driving is not safe. Make it fully autonomous or not at all. Two modes, keep it simple, because human concentration is complex.
The router is provided by the landlord, who already called out the service people from Chunghwa Telecom to look at it.

They turned it off and on again, and it worked (of course). So they refused to replace it.

And I can't schedule reboots, because it usually fails a few minutes after I start using it when I return to my house (not at a consistent time every day).
Well, level 5 without lidar at least is far away. Being able to tell both the distance and direction of obstacles makes avoiding them much easier.
I don't think the iPhone nor any Android phone have the necessary circuitry to receive the WWVB signal directly. THey do, however, keep time sync with NTP or some NTP-like service over the wireless network or wifi. That should keep it's knowledge of time accurate to a second or two.
One does not just 'contribute' to Bitcoin.
Why not just have a system that produces a full 3D model of the surroundings and their velocity (using something like doppler radar) and then just do a geometric computation in 4D spacetime to find out a path that doesn't intersect with the trajectory of anything? (assuming their speed is unchanged)

That should prevent all such trivial accidents and allows to actually mathematically prove that the software works, as it should be required for such a critical system.

Machine learning can be added for object detection to allow more sophisticated trajectory prediction.

I'm sort of surprised that the camera wasn't able to identify an object based on visual flow, unless this happened at night?
It is insanely expensive.

There are carbon-capture devices already extant. Solar-powered. Self-replicating. They're called "plants".

Problem is that 1) you've got to sequester the carbon formed, 2) there's only so much ag productivity (measured in terms of carbon fixation) on the planet, and 3) it is largely spoken for -- humans claim 40% of net primary productivity, the rest of the planet fights over the remaining 60%.

I'd strongly recommend you start sorting out what the environmentalists (or at least ecologists) have been doing for the past century or so. Their models strike me as vastly more sound than those who claim other affiliations.

BAU is not sustainable. The question is which of the other-than-usual tracks we select. Or allow to be selected for us.
I currently overwork the catch-all/matching part to support way more options. (Gmail style, timestamp invalidation, subdomains, blacklists ...)

Right now my approach is to have a [catch-all]@domain.tld enabled, and then build rules for individual domains i want to blacklist.

However sounds like you figured out a nice setup that works for you. So you are not the target audience anyway :)
Also it's alot of work.
Using MapStruct on immutable code
I'm still getting the occasional piece of mail for previous tenants and I've owned my house since 2004. Of course rampant package theft means anything sent to my house is stolen within minutes, so all you're doing is buying free stuff for thieves. I've long ago switched to a post office box.
The overall argument against it is that all the information is already reflected in the ticketing system and if anything had to be resolved you can do it 1:1 rather than wasting everyone’s time.
> But they'll try their hardest to pin this on a scapegoat and he is the obvious choice.

The obvious choice, if there was to be a scapegoat (which I won't prejudge the officials involved to be seeking), until now was whoever designed/build the system in question (particularly it's UI), who had pretty much already been convicted in absentia in the court of public opinion (possibly based on fabrication, as it turns out.)

Now he’s the obvious choice, but that's almost entirely a result of his own actions.
I would rather say git cli, not bash.
Yeesh, there's so much involved.

I've been running my own mail server with https://mailinabox.email for ~2 years and can heartily recommend it.

Still, even with that there are gotchas if you want to be able to send messages from your server to Google et al, eg. reverse-DNS-records, DKIM, SPF.

Not for the pressed-for-time.
isn't the idea that if everyone is sharing their progress and challenges then others who had similar challenges on previous projects can voice their suggestions?

At least in my experience, 90% of the time there aren't any 'useful' challenges being presented. Mostly it's stuff like "Dave was sick last week so we're a bit behind", "ticket #447 was much trickier than we expected, but we've solved it now" or "We're still waiting for the client to send us the updated data files". The actual technical challenges are almost always hashed out in smaller ad hoc meetings among the relevant people. And even when a 'real' challenge does get aired it's often of such a specialized nature that only 2-3 people have anything useful to add and it's much better for them to have a separate meeting. So it's not that feedback is discouraged, it's that there is hardly anything at the meeting to give constructive feedback on, and any feedback I can give has already been given days ago in one those above mentioned ad hoc meetings.

And in the very very rare event that someone has a challenge that is big enough and generic enough that it's reasonable to assume that the whole team will have something productive to add then that is a unique enough event that it's worth scheduling a specific meeting just for that.
Payara Server 5 Beta 2 release is here
That was a bit of hyperbole. But I'd say it is true for 9/10 companies I am familiar with that do remote work. Stories of bosses calling people and expecting them to pick up at 8PM abound.
I thought this article was male-bashing. If ways are found to extend life greatly, they will benefit both men and women. It may be true that men are more likely than women to attempt "moon shots". That has benefits as well as costs.
> Did you also have to tell your users to press Ctrl+F5 to get the updated assets?

Actually I did!

What I do now is this: there is a websocket connection always open with the connected browsers, and when there are some assets that reallyreallyreally should be refreshed, I send a command though the websocket and the browser (after a few client side checks, like making sure the user is not in the middle of filling out a form) executes ´window.location.reload(true);´

> Tesla didn't confirm the car was running Autopilot at the time of the crash"

That essentially means that it was. If it wasn't they would have denied it and released data.

> but its manual does warn that the system is ill-equipped to handle this exact sort of situation: “Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cannot detect all objects and may not brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles, especially in situations when you are driving over 50 mph (80 km/h) and a vehicle you are following moves out of your driving path and a stationary vehicle or object is in front of you instead.

Just for those unaware of Teslas previous handling of other crashes, this is them waving a huge flag saying "We fucked up and we know it".

I wonder how that call went "Hi Tesla, my self-driving car just drove head-on into a stationary firetruck" "Ohh... did you read the manual? It's supposed to do that, so it's basically your fault!"
> "3% daily lifetime income", "10% of your referrals"

You can set imap to only sync specific folders, so you can have just your personal email on one machine and work on another if you want.

My work email is (was, internship) reasonably quite so it didn't bother me. If it would become annoying i'd just set it to manual sync on my phone.
I always like to total the hours of every meeting with actual cost. It’s obscene when there’s no value.

Calling YouTube video recommender... calling Amazon... please listen up. I do not want to listen to that song I just heard, or buy that thing I just bought, dammit.

You do this at the expense of a huge amount of practical day-to-day functionality of time. Most people want times to be at least roughly synchronised with their day, and would rightly object to your system in the strongest possible terms.

Python for all the reasons people have mentioned here.

Tangential, but does anyone know of a playground environment where you can code (ro)bots in Python? I'm thinking of the old Robocode challenges, which were Java based, where you could write some logic and it would enter your bot in a tournament. Would be fun to do some game AI with Python like that.
I'm not sure I agree. It was much easier to develop your game around the PS3's heterogeneous architecture, then port it to a more conventional architecture like the Xbox 360 or PC and get good performance than doing it the other way around.
The claim was that Facebook/Google enable populism, not that they have populist agendas of their own.

> US, as a return favor, shared their intel on the MH17 incident too.

As I can remember US told the world that it MH-17 was shot by a missile (not Ukrainian jet, as Russia tried to imply for months) and most probably Russian missile - and all of it almost immediately after the tragedy.
How did you make your transition to the cloud? What worked and what didn't work?
Sounds like a great product, tbh. If I ever break my server I'll consider it.
> it’s definitely not needed day to day

Yes I agree which is why that was the first sentence of my comment, which was in response to your comment which stated,
“No-one needed access... Engineers never did.” It’s great that you changed your position, but please don’t make it seem like I was advocating for unfettered, 24/7 access to customer data when I clearly didn’t write that
Maybe you think there is no value, but don't realize the information you or others glean from the meeting pays off. Perhaps think about what value could come from these meetings and then determine whether you are getting it.
That’s exactly what people do.
Yes. There's decades of research on this. Some level of automation probably does help. It's not like people don't zone out, especially for freeway driving, even when they're driving with totally manual systems. And, of course, people text, fiddle with radios, etc. But too much automation that's not totally for backup may well be harmful.

Dupe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16231252
Love this, I spend many nights in the past fiddling with email.. and giving up. But I manged to get it to work one day and I learned a lot! I started with [0], but eventually found the mail-stack-delivery package in the Ubuntu repos, it sets up almost everything correctly out of the box and I ran with that. While Googling that package name I found this: [1], may also be nice.

I also learned that having it in your basement means trouble: Someone pulls the plug, your IP changes or ends up on a spam list. For some years I ran my own server on a DO droplet. It is very cost effective when you can make as much mailboxes as you want for family (+ unlimited aliases, addresses that deliver to both you and your wife, being able to email 500 mb to familie, etc). I still don't know down what sinkhole emails to my brother-in-law's outlook.com address went down. The literal response of MS at the time: We don't manage our own spam filter, try adding more text, make it look more real...

But man, the pain, the complexity, the reverse DNS, the startTLS, the SPF record, the DKIM records. It took me a long time to understand the difference between mail servers and MTAs and why there are different ports for them. Also, few providers in the Netherlands even allow you to use port 25, luckily mine did. Email is truly an old protocol that has been hacked up-to-date (more or less) and setting up your own mail server will make this very clear to you :)

I'd recommend it though, you'll learn a lot! But to be honest, I now pay 3 euros a months to a dutch email provider because email is too important and I didn't want to go through the pain again when 16.04 came out. I might still have a go at it in the future, there is something beautiful about running your own email server :)

Exploiting PSoC4 for fun and profit (2017)
I used to do this as well, with tinydns. I even wrote an article with a similar name[1]. Then I wrote another article with a similar name[2] when I decided that I was being silly.

I use Route53 now with a little cron that periodically updates the record that points at my home IP[3]. Route53 is bulletproof in a way that I'm unable to accomplish on my own.

edit: Route53 is not actually cheaper than this person's setup. That said, $0.50 per hosted zone is a bargain for what you get and there's a volume break to $0.10 after 25 zones. We're talking about global 100% DNS uptime with an SLA[4] for $0.50/mo.

I don't expect scanning lidar sensors to become common here until solid state scanning lidars reach mass production.
I disliked ctrl-a and ctrl-b as prefixes because both conflict with using emacs keybindings. However, it was convenient that, by default, they were different. When I first used tmux I was still using screen on some servers (that I didn't fully control). Being able to use screen on the server through my tmux session without having to double type the prefix was useful.

No this issue is overheated silliness.
They weren't telling the truth about "superior virus protection" or Apple trying to protect Google ad revenue (Apple has supported third party content blockers in Safari for years), why should we believe they are telling the truth here?

Besides, Opera Mini does the same thing - Server side rendering - and has been on the Apple Store for years.
That doesn't make sense to me, aren't we talking about two different pieces of hardware talking together? If they could reflash the "display computer" then the problem would be solved if I understand correctly.

Even if it's really two "applications" running on the same CPU I don't see how spectre/meltdown would help since it's all about getting read-only access to "forbidden" memory. Clearly they don't need that (they know full well what's in memory), they want to be able to modify it.

In such a situation RowHammer might be used to modify the state of an other program sharing the same RAM in the right conditions but if there's one piece of hardware I expect to be hardened against spurious bitflips it's a space probe. We're talking about radiation-hardened ECC-protected RAM after all.
Honestly if you're lazy or want the support it might be nice to get the VPS cPanel license. It sets it up for you with full customization allowed. It also has spamassassin with RBL support in the interface. I think it's $17~ a month excluding VPS cost. You'll also get so many other features that can be disabled.

Autopilot quitting when it's too difficult, and expecting a human to jump-in at the last second is a stupid plan. Tesla needs to fix their attitude to failure and take the blame if autopilot gives up.
I've been running since 2001. There were some rough years in there with spam and big providers rejecting for no good reason. Now it has been years since I've had any delivery issues. As for spam, I get 2-3 a week that make it through, but I don't make any effort to tweak it.

Thanks for bringing up the painful memories of adding new filters each night. So glad those days are over for me.
From what I can see on the NASA website, JWST is "planning to launch between March and June 2019". I wonder if that will be delayed - I imagine they will want to track this issue down quite thoroughly and reach high confidence it won't happen again.
That sort of assumes that you know who to talk to.

I was thinking more about the case of "here's how we are doing it" and someone you wouldn't have thought to ask saying "oh, we tried to do that at [x] last year and it didn't work because [a], [b], [c]".
But in curves (or directly before them) you have plenty of stationary items that you appear to happily drive into in a few seconds. They're right ahead, after all.

Also note that despite all the hype surrounding those features you're still supposed to pay attention as a driver. Marketing and manuals tell very different stories here and the liability question is purely answered by the latter.
