They can't do it fast enough though, or at least I hope, to make a legitimate entry into the craft market. I think among people into craft beer it's well known that AB InBev owns Goose, Michelob, Shocktop, Corona, Stella, Modelo. Elysian is less-known as an AB-InBev brand but it's becoming more well known. They have to know that their business practices taints any brand that they buy out at this point, it's just a matter of milking popular high-quality brands as long as they can before public reception catches on

Muscles are infinitely less complex than the mind. We still don't understand how the human brain works, what makes us conscious, and many other aspects of cognition. And we've been studying these for centuries.

It's unrealistic to think we can simulate something we don't understand. BTW the same rhetoric was being said in the 80's regarding expert systems, as what folks are saying today about deep learning. In the former case expectations exceeded the result, and we got a decade long "AI winter". Why should this time be any different?

IMO AI won't be capable of replacing humans for centuries, maybe millennia. I predict we'll progressively automate more and more routine activities via AI, freeing humans to focus on more creative / higher value activities while being more efficient. We got the same deal from the Industrial Revolution, which also brought us the vast levels of prosperity we enjoy today.
I appreciate your summary, and especially the way you ended it.

My 2¢: I think you may be romanticizing the ratio of "interactive experiences" to intrusive ads, bad games (but in bulk, to make up for the quality) and (eventually) video.

But if you like the brutally-effective tool, it still exists[1] and has seen regular improvements, but now emits standards-based content that works as well or better than Flash did.

Steam has some poorly thought out shit; it has four identifiers, three of them unique:

1. Username, used to login, not visible elsewhere, unique and security related.

2. SteamID, id number which is visible elsewhere and used in their api fairly often; not too different from the username other than being public

3. UrlID - by default a "steamcommunity" link to the user's page is their SteamID, but it can optionally be edited by the user to a custom url. This ID is a globally unique namespace. For example, https://steamcommunity.com/id/gaben

4. Display name ... Yup, the display name. Arbitrarily editable.

Having that many things is dumb. Having an editable url component is dumb (it shoulda just been the steamid forever).

All in all, they're not a good example.

Well, vaguely Ruby-ish syntax, without the dynamic features or ecosystem, and with a static type system.

Not sure what that has the do with the subject here, which has nothing to do with either Elixir or the next language for a Ruby developer.

Language (or tool) evangelism with no connection to be thread beyond offering an alternative to a language mentioned in the thread is basically a uniquely geeky form of threadcrapping, and its really not any better than any other threadcrapping.

Remington Outdoors isn't filing for bankruptcy because of politics or because guns last a long time, as others have suggested. They've been acquiring big-name arms manufactures like Remington Arms, Bushmaster, and Marlin, then throwing quality control out the window while they ride the reputations of their subsidiaries into the ground.

It's also worth noting that file system developers should think about their file system fifty to a hundred years out. Flash drives today often still come preformatted with FAT32, twenty two years after its release in 1996. Up until a couple years ago, my dad had an external drive formatted with FAT16--a thirty year old file system.

If ZFS lives as long as the FATs have (three decades) even at a doubling every 34 months, that means six remaining doublings before 2035. Not quite 2^64, but that's on the liberal side. Half that (doubling every 17 months) is twelve doublings, which is easily over 2^64.

Ideally, your library code that you're pulling in has some unit testing to demonstrate that things are working as they should be. (If not, consider adding unit testing! It's really useful!)

If that is the case, then you can isolate the likelihood of an issue as either in the library (because unit tests fail there), or in the project consuming the library (because unit tests succeed in the library).

Without testing, it's hard to have a ton of confidence in where the problem lies—which is exactly the problem you cite. And while a monorepo (or just a standalone repository with no separate libraries, which is frankly an easier setup to manage than monorepos or multirepos!) may make debugging a bit easier, it's not going to give you much more confidence in your code.

Once your organization outgrows the paradigm where you just have N standalone projects with N completely separate code bases, and you do need to commit to either a multi-repo or a mono-repo configuration, it's really, really helpful to have unit testing to allow you to isolate where issues are.

You mean they thought that they could use programmatic add buying to reduce the cost (and make people redundant) - without understanding what they where buying and have a good way of monitoring.

Also they should have taken greater interest in the agency they used to do the buying rather than just handing the PPC budget to the Marketing directors mate who he plays golf with.

Yeah, the catch is always the tooling. It's like GitHub Flow. On the surface, it sounds simple - run everything from master. But in reality (https://github.com/blog/1241-deploying-at-github) it's Hubot, Janky, locking, monitoring, merging API, etc..

> Keeping the lights on alone is barely possible with the resources we have.

Surely with half a million employees you have at least one person on lightbulbs.
There have existed teams at every company I have ever worked for who argue that this is the Very Best Way (tm) to develop code. It allows for the True Gatekeepers to keep their hold over the perceived software quality and quickly routs any sort of outside interest from modifying the project in any way the True Gatekeepers don't desire. In entirely broken organizations this is an effective way to allow 2-3 good developers to produce software in spite of the culture. In any organization beyond entirely broken, this prohibits a team from scaling beyond 2-3 key core members and tends to allow that small group to become the BOFH, maintaining a reign of terror over all non-blessed developers, regardless of seniority or title, who dare contribute to the product. In some senses this is the Linus "benevolent dictatorship," but in most, it's a despotic system that collapses as soon as one of the core contributors moves on or retires.

In my experience most attempts to move these sorts of teams towards real revision control and development practice lead to an extinction event in which they practice every form of hazing possible to maintain control, requiring careful management. Think extreme code-format nitpicking (combined with a lack of automated tooling or a styleguide that would let "others" get it right), followed by appeals to whichever authority maintained their team, outright hostility, and eventually ultimatum or holding the code hostage.
"[Assault rifle] means a lot in terms of marketability, though!"

Money, more importantly. That's why people who want to starve the gun industry make them illegal; not because they are dangerous, but because they are a good revenue source for the industry.

Also, assault rifles are favored by younger enthusiasts, so banning them is a way to nip the market in the bud.

I don't blame them, I wouldn't want to go to Detroit either.

Really though, I'd take about any excuse to go there because Detroit style pizza is amazing. If you haven't had it, I highly recommend it.

But to be more on topic, I think it's really interesting that tech and cars seems to be converging enough that CES is becoming more appealing than the Detroit Auto Show. With Ford planning on cutting a large portion of their line in the near future, it'll be really interesting to watch how this market continues to change over the next decade or so.
I don't encounter many bugs, but I'm considering getting android because Apple's feature/UX choices are beyond insane today. There are two features they're missing, that I feel should have been one of the first few added.

1. You can't view a list of chapters in iTunes, like in Audiobooks from say, Audible. Awful. I mean, I hate to be unkind, but are they seriously this inept to not include a chapter list that you can view and jump to?
2. You can't keep the screen on while on a call, like say a conference call, where you might want to remain muted until you want to speak. Awful x100,000,000.

I honestly don't recall the last time I saw a gun company market something as an "assault _____".

Many pro-gun folks have been trying to get the term "Modern Sporting Rifle" to stick. I find it kind of silly, myself. They're just "ARs" (for AR-15-pattern rifles) or "AKs" (for AKM-pattern rifles).

It's due to two things, in my opinion: the expiration of the "Assault Weapons Ban" in 2004, and the rise of first-person shooter video games.
Unfortunately at first glance the law is easy to misread. If you’re not careful it reads like it’s mandating a minimum height for new construction. Instead what it’s doing is mandating a floor on the maximum allowable height a city can set. So in other words a city can’t force a developer to shorten their building beyond the minimum heights in SB-827. Conversely a developer or home owner can construct a short building if they really want to.
Yes ULA is a different RFC.
I don't think the economics of gun sales have really anything to do with public opposition to assault rifles; I doubt 1 gun control advocate in 200 even knows that assault rifles are relatively lucrative. I sure didn't; I'd have assumed the money was in hand guns.

Adding a few sentences to this point; the mechanism for this "AI system that passes the Turing test" likely to involve neural networks.

So we'd be dealing with a situation where we have something that is behaving in a human like manner using mechanisms that are (to a first approximation) how humans do it.

Claiming that that program isn't conscious is close to defending the idea that the sun orbits the earth - the argument is 'even though we have accurate measurement everything and a well verified model, the implications are discomforting; hence the model must be wrong'.

There are people who won't handle the idea that consciousness is rooted in physical processes that we already have a handle on.
STANAG 2324, for the interested: cancelled in 1979. I was trying to get a copy in ~2001 from the NATO library. 2324 was defacto replaced by MIL-STD-1913, which may eventually be supplanted by STANAG 4694.

$56k in tuition, fees, and books to graduate from my alma-mater in-state at today's rates[1]. Tuition nearly tripled from 2000 to 2012 and then they froze tuition by reducing the number of slots for in-state students (thus raising the average tuition charged without changing the sticker price).

Also, most public schools will not hire teachers without a 4-year degree, so saying that those going into low-earning fields like teaching ought-not get a degree is questionable at best.

Hiring credentials is an arms race, so if everyone else is getting a degree you're going to have a bad time if you don't -- even for fiends in which no degree is logically required.

Consciousness as it’s being discussed is not intelligence or even the ability to reason about one’s own existence. Is both less and more than those things, really just different altogether. It is subjective experience itself, the inner world somehow projected for you by your mind. It is the experience of seeing and hearing, the feeling of an emotion.
Same reason Netflix doesn't let you list all the movies on their site in alphabetical order - they want to create the sense that there is unlimited content. If every time you opened Instagram and there was no new content and you saw the same picture you saw last time you would just close the app. Now you never really know if there is no new content or not so you scroll down... and down...

This year Mercedes relaunched the G-Wagen with Dieter and Arnie paying lip service to an electric future. This was at a side show adjunct to Detroit Auto Show in venues of Mercedes choosing. It is as if they have decided they are too big for the show.

Mercedes have their own world whether it is F1 or those AMG road cars, they have something for everyone that wants luxury performance. There is no need to have a few Chevy and Ford efforts in this world of theirs, they are not communicating their brand to their customers with consumer comparisons.

Furthermore, the domestic U.S. manufacturers and their international brands (e.g. former 'Vauxhall') are making region specific cars, the German marques generally offer 'world' cars that are the same everywhere to some extent. This year their G-Wagen was something they could take to Detroit, in most years, for most of their products, I am sure Mercedes think of doing the launch in their home market for a global audience. They can fly out all the influencers and journalists they need to Germany, put them up in nice hotels, let them do autobahn speeds and get all the reviews they need.
