RSS never went away. Podcasting has made careers (e.g. deboarah francis-white, roman mars, andy & helen zaltzman, ollie mann and many others). The technological underpinning of podcasting is entirely RSS. And it ain't going away, or getting embraced and extended any time soon.
I would guess mainly for synchronization between different computers and devices?
You numbers are off. 45,220 US gal gives 14,260 km range at 905 km/h + emergency reserve. ~= 16 hours of flight time 2830 gal / hour of fuel used. 37 kWh per gallon * ~.40 effecency * 2830 ~42,000kWh.

40% solar panels are available but 23% are low cost. So 230 kWh or 400kWh which means 100x to 180x not 1000x Before considering fuel vs panel weight.

PS: At the other extreme solar can hit 2.4kW/kg which would be worth installing on aircraft to reduce APU fuel consumption.
Thanks for the links. Do you happen to know if the validator accepts Atom with https resources? I'd think it should (if I'm understanding correctly), given that it uses IRIs, and IRIs support https as a protocol.
Great idea. Nice spin on this scene and gets away from the swipe left/right culture to something more interesting.
>TensorFlow supports a standalone server mode where it receives computation graphs and executes them. This is nice because then you can remotely execute on any accelerator (Cloud TPU, multi-worker multi-GPU) from your laptop.

Where can I find more documentation on this? I’ve been looking for something exactly like this.

Yes, the possessor can control where the ‘taint’ goes by their spending choices, just like someone with stolen property can choose who to give/sell it to.

The point of this FIFO method isn’t exclusively — or even primarily — to outwit thieves. Rather, it’s just to have a tractable (and legally-based) rule for deciding which balances, arbitrarily later, can be deemed ‘the stolen amount’.

Hmm. I know at least one of the Niantic technical staff, and is a very competent, experienced software engineer.

Poor event planning, I can believe. Marketing promotions getting ahead of infrastructure, I've been there.

Every invention/technology eventually will be used also to harm people, even those which were never meant to be used as such, from electricity to airplanes. Unfortunately seeing anything in a dystopic thriller also means someone else, not just the writer, has already thought about using it. Making more people aware can do more good than harm IMO.

This technology is in its infancy; I fear the day a policeman wearing an encoded transmitter will be able in real time to force all security cameras in the area to exclude his image and cover it with normal background when he knows he abused his power or is going to.
The question is, if the driver was aware the autopilot was unsafe at that area, why did they keep using autopilot there?

Disagree. In a language with a decent type system you would give them different types, because using a first name as a last name or an x as a z is always an error.
> In reality, Apple collects more information about its customers than Facebook because it offers more products and services

The author seems to be conflating what’s stored on the device with what’s being “collected”. There’s a difference; with Facebook everything ends up on their servers, while with Apple much less does. If these companies were to be hacked tomorrow, with Apple the only information that would be made available is stuff that’s been sent, such as iCloud data. Things that stay local, such as call history, would remain secure.
Marta is not inspired by fman. The Action panel (I think it's called a Command palette in fman) is likely to be the only common thing between our products – and we both took it from Sublime Text. But it's not really important.

The "doesn't feel native" is not the main problem for me. I use a number of non-native apps (such as IJ IDEA) – and I'm okay with it.

fman is a just slow app without features. It was ok if it was in alpha stages, but why it is a paid product then? Come on, there's still no way to cancel the copy process! And you need to install a third-party plugin to swap panes. I wonder how you made such a small progress since the last year, considering that you work on fman full-time.
«the autopilot did something a human driver who was paying attention would never do»

I'm sure that out of the 1.25 million annual automobile-related deaths, plenty of drivers were paying attention and still did stupid things similar to this accident.

Yeah, it's pretty crafty PR. The CPC must be green with envy, while Uber is still ruing their reputation. Such a difference in conversation; so many people laying the blame squarely on the driver(he is ultimately the PIC tbh, but Tesla and particularly CalTrans messed up bad), however Uber is being raked through the coals when somebody literally walked in front of their car..

Just Say'n

EDIT: While I believe Tesla and the driver are the ultimate source of the accident, I believe CalTrans messed up worse with that barrier. At least Tesla owns up to the limitations and warns drivers to stay in control, but why the hell was that barrier not replace d?! What systemic mediocracy is playing out there that they have road work signs with dates 3 years old on them, and a critical safety barrier is just missing with traffic flow as usual?!
I don’t pay for it. They’re not intrusive at all. Actually I’d forgotten there were ads until you mentioned it :)

I’ve pretty settled on using Feedly and Reeder in iOS, even though I experimented with RSS via IMAP[1] for a fairly long time.

I zip through 1000+ news items a day over breakfast in this way, and my only real gripes are duplicated postings (which are usually best solved by careful handpicking of news sources) and the lack of a decent backlog/archival feature (I settled on Pocket for that).

On and off, I try to build my own “most relevant/trending/hot items” feed via NLTK, but topics of interest vary too quickly in out industry for proper training...

I think most people do assume the same with search results. How many do you think assume that the ads on the TV they see could be different than what the neighbor is seeing when watching the same channel with the same cable company?
I think a lot of people assume that others see the same news and the way people act you'd think they assume that others see the same things in their newsfeed/timeline / facebook thing - and wonder how others could have a different view.

Even when I explain how ads can be different, I don't think people really want to believe it, or understand it, and they certainly do not realize the power of these targeting abilities..

A lot of time seems to go into tricking the watchdogs on single purpose machines. I heard a story once of a guy who wanted to get some computation done, but the process was being deproritized by the scheduler because it seemed like it was a hung process that kept asking for CPU time. The solution he came up with was voluntarily relinquishing compute accesd right before anyone would would check up on it, making it appear as if the process was great at sharing time with others. By doing this, he could get that one process’s instructions running something like 99% of the time.
Can anyone clarify to me: why do people use web RSS readers, as opposed to local applications?

I can't parse this; could you clarify? What exactly do you mean by "relinquish compute access right before anyone would check up on it"?
Google Reader wasn't just an RSS client, it was social. you could subscribe to your friends feeds, see what they were interested in etc.

Google Reader was a social network around RSS

(I also think there was in platform commenting too?)
Perhaps they don't know (yet?) what exactly went wrong? The car was heavily destroyed, I am surprised they got any logs retrieved from the car at all. They might be able to reconstruct more information about the accident, but unless they have a complete log including video (unlikely), it will take time to reconstruct.
As there is an ongoing investigation about the accident, it is understandable, that they are not making any statements beyond anything they can prove without a doubt at the current point of time.
This is when you know you've "made it", when state intel is trying to get to you :-)

Seriously now, even though you're not famous or a jounalist you might have some type of valuable access in your life? Or maybe it's just a false positive from google. Or maybe you weren't being especially targetted, and instead your e-mail ended up in some list of valuable e-mails (rightly or wrongly).
" cannot use this data to recreate anything remotely resembling the original dataset."

This by itself may be mostly true perhaps - and many of the comments get into ways of playing with this dataset to make it better, I don't have experience with those methods, but,

what I have not seen anyone mention, if you have this dumbed down dataset, the original is gone.. you can still combine with other data sets that are either public or previously created and likely fine tune;

dumbed down set + public voter records + public arrest records + previous whatever records - sort, match, what's left over.

and pretty much recreate what you needed from the original, maybe not 100%, but I would guess you could get really close.
Interesting you say that, I got into podcasts recently (a bit late I know) and found the space very confusing. It's kind'of all on iTunes, but not really, you can get them from their source sites, but also some apps have a subset. Understanding the model is not easy. I didn't know it was powered by rss until this thread. I am really pro federation, and I am not deterred, but I am an engineer on HN. I wonder why email, being federated as well, is easy for anyone to grok.
Op's example is a textbook example of what happened to me. I used to have a lot of RSS feeds in Google Reader, when it closed I never moved anywhere else because at the time there wasn't an obvious alternative.
>I don't think you need to cook up an emergency to have a good reason to use Prime Now. I have tons of 'micro emergencies' every month where I'd gladly tip my driver a bit to bring my items within a few hours.

Yep, your examples are a lot less "emergencies", the previous examples were all connected to unpleasant events, but - with all due respect - yours are all connected to the same "base issue", forgetting to procure in time (or in advance) whatever you need.

A very handy solution, in those cases.
We were literally talking about building technologies that might be used in harmful ways. Discovering and developing software exploits is a direct example of this.
My phone, an old Nokia, has a built in RSS reader and when I visit a web site that has RSS I get a "follow" button next to favorite. I can even set the RSS reader to show me a notification when there's an update. The same convenience could probably be accomplished with a browser extension or native app.

I worked there in 2016-2017. I was a Data Engineer so I was pretty close to this. It was taken very seriously, to the point it was annoying (tables with PII get anonymized, which then means extra work, etc). Also, the sheer amount of effort that went into this [the tooling/infra that was already there for this when I arrived] was impressive.

I'm not claiming FB couldn't have / can't do a better job, you can always do a better job, hire even more people for this, etc. But it was definitely taken very seriously, much more seriously than you'd think from all this bad press. And if you go and work there, you'll be impressed, I guarantee that.

However, what I'm talking about is data protection, the problem here was that app permissions were explicitly too loose [until 2015]. As I said, I also think this was a bad policy, and people are rightly upset. But there's way too much generalization happening in this thread.
I agree. I never used Reader and I think I hardly heard of it before it was shut down.

I wasn’t a heavy RSS user, but had a few bookmarks in Firefox – and the same thing is doable today.
Just a little nit-pick - «When in doubt, quick glance in rear-view mirror, then slam brake.»
I only got into assembly recently when programming the C64, its such a simple instruction set and there is so much documentation that it seemed to me much easier to get into. Also its fun to have to work around its limitations.
Also look at occupation. Tesla owners = disproportionately software engineers. Software engineers are one of the lowest car insurance risk pools (and we're even before any of them started using auto-pilot).
Because it's science fiction. As in, "this is not real." But well, I guess that if Moon landing was fake and wrestling is real, then science fiction is also real ;) (In other words, that the perception matters more than reality)
We don't need it to have comments. But I think the lack of commenting is the big problem of an RSS focused ecosystem.

Shooting comments off into the ether is fine by clicking the page and commenting there. But, if you have a couple of dozen blogs in your RSS feed, and leave a handful of comments a day, clicking back through the specific place to see if you've been responded to is way too much effort. Sites like HN, Reddit, and Facebook, have a central mechanism by which you can be notified.

In the '10s I had a blog with over 1000 readers, I had fewer comments, and less community than the replacement Facebook group has with a fraction of that number.

That may not be a problem for publishers who are purely interested in eyeballs. But that isn't all of them. If the aim is to free content from the walled garden (which I think is an important goal), then it matters.
Maybe SDC already do this, but it seems like the Agent should keep track of things that look like potential lanes and then if the potential lanes turn out to be not-lanes (have barrier in them) the Agent should flag the area that looked like the start of a lane so future SDC know to avoid it.
How can one sleep in autonomous car?

For babies car is autonomous already. They have to be strapped pretty tight in a bit reclined position.

Do you mean to sleep sitting just like passengers in a car kinda can? I guess people are able to sleep that way. I for one have to be totally exhausted to fall a sleep sitting.

One certainly can't hope to sleep laying on a side under a blanket. Self driving can't ensure that car will never experience sudden deceleration. For the same reason you will not see seats facing back of the car. Because you could be killed by your or other passenger's laptop or burned by your hot coffee.
From what I hear, it's also because high school is so hard for college-bound students they're a) in pretty good shape academically already, and b) are burned out and need some downtime.

The only argument for C and against C++ is the slippery slope of wanting to use one useful feature and ending up using a thousand features where noone is really sure what's actually happening in the end. Then again they start re-inventing "C with classes" using unsafe structs and macros. It seems that the problem is not really with the language but the developers who cannot restrain themselves.
You can't show ads in it. I even asked a few sites to set it up a few years ago but they wouldn't. They wanted the income from the ads to run the site.
Very interesting. They are baking auto differentiation/gradient computation directly into the compiler ? How will this be work, since you invoke TF and TF computes gradients (at least on the loss functions) using Python/C++ from first principles.

It'll be nice to use the Xcode build system, but given that Xcode isn't open source, I wonder how this will play out. Is there a way to use Bazel natively with Swift ?

Exciting times though !

Sure, but the ONLY reason many of us can figure for mentioning the previous warnings in the way they did is because the way it would.get interpreted as a sound bite.

No, it didn't warn at all. It warned prior to this, which was just put in the text to trick people into thinking it warned.
I wonder if the problem is the uneven pavement leading up to it. The white solid line starts close to it, then drifts left. In certain lighting conditions, the division in the pavement might seem more prominent than the white line, which I could imagine tricking a human or computer to follow it instead. That wouldn't cause a head-on crash itself, but would cause the car to get very close. I could then imagine a computer trying to correct its mistake by moving RIGHT (because that area looks like a lane) instead of left and going head-on into it.

Though of course that doesn't explain why it didn't recognize the barrier as something it should avoid at all costs. Unless perhaps something to the left confused it and made it think there was an obstacle there, too, thus causing it to think it was going to crash regardless. If so, maybe it did try to brake at the last second?
No voting, no comments. It's very tough trying to identify what's important, and when you do, you want to talk about it. Should/can RSS be extended to include voting and comments?
Remember planets - public online news readers? Why not build your own little news feed with pluto [1] (and SQLite) and the universal feedparser library [2] supporting RSS, JSON Feed, Feed.TXT, HTML Microformat Feeds, and many more formats :-).

This so much. Never saw the appeal of web based readers. Been using a desktop based newsfeed for more than a decade.

And since we are using it to have a more focused experience, less clutter, etc. it seems logical to have it away from the browser where distractions are just a click away.
It also indicates that you shouldn't pass out of that area.

The vehicle should have at the very least stopped short of the road obstruction. But we don't yet know what led up to being in that lane, I was hoping the article in the OP would have taken us through it. Instead I'm getting the feeling this was a catastrophic software failure. Without more transparency on the issue, despite what Tesla may prefer I don't think I have any choice but to feel uncomfortable.
When using C++, you also need to take into account the compiler ABI.
