Good to see this _starting_ to become part of the discussion; that most users are not educated and motivated enough to take privacy seriously. I'd like to see regulation that makes "here - agree to this 200 page TOS" unacceptable as form of gaining user approval, especially - as in the case of Facebook - you're agreeing not only to sharing your own data but also data on friends who aren't even using Facebook.
Multiple return values in C at the cost of one weird input parameter
I can’t figure out whether it was me who wrote the words “compute access” or whether it was meant be something else and was autocorrected into that. Either way, what I meant was that the scheduler would normally come around at some fixed time, say after 1 ms, and task switch to something else if it found that the original process was still executing. Instead of letting this happen, he paused execution at 0.99 ms and told the scheduler he was done with his work. Then, he immediately resumed the process, which caused the scheduler to return control back to him.
RSS feeds rock! They're much less "noisy", and best of all - untouched by algorithmic sorting.

* Shameless plug *: our service at https://feedity.com helps create custom feeds for any public webpage.
Think more from the inference angle. There are a lot of use cases for ML and many are using native apps or desktop apps. This allows you to run it on the browser on the web, which significantly broadens the amount of people who can use it.

So can you think of use cases for using ML in an app (native or desktop?) Many of those would be good to have in the browser as part of a web app too.
This is really cool! Please show some more recording samples before and after.

Being able to write NUMA aware applications like the one described in the article is a luxury for ALL Go users. The current Go runtime doesn't have any NUMA awareness.

As of today, you can get a two NUMA nodes processor (AMD threadripper 1900X) for as little as $449.
Eh. When email and bboards started spreading among the best educated segment of the population, I was somewhat appalled at the imperfect spelling in evidence.

Then I figured that, given how unnatural reading and writing are, people were doing OK. It was the press, at the time quite rich and bristling with proofreaders, that had raised expectations to very high levels.
> both Marta API and a plugin need to be built with the same version of Swift

As far as I’m aware, this isn’t a problem, since your communicating between the two using the Objective-C runtime, which is resilient to the underlying ABI because it essentially overlays its own. The issue arises when you have two plugins with incompatible versions of Swift: in this case, each will load its own standard library, which will lead to conflicts since for any given function in the shared library one of the implementations has to “win out”. This will cause at least one of the plugins to be unable to interface with the standard library correctly.

In practice, democracy is driven by populism and histerical news cycles, while beurocracy doesn't feel any pressure from the public whatsoever and is usually occupied with entrenching into occupied political territory. Companies are much more accountable to their shareholders than governments are to their citizens.

Can you explain a bit more? Apple iCloud services collect and upload a huge amount of data to Apple servers. Emails, calendars, tasks, your private messages (iMessage), phone diagnostic data, GPS location data (cell tower / wifi location helper service), SMS, MMS messages, application data and more.

Sure a lot of this is encrypted, but Apple explicitly warns you on support page that they WILL give iCloud data to authorities if warrant is sent.

Quote:

> iCloud content may include email, stored photos, documents, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, Safari browsing history and iOS device backups. iOS device backups may include photos and videos in the Camera Roll, device settings, app data, iMessage, SMS, and MMS messages and voicemail. All iCloud content data stored by Apple is encrypted at the location of the server. When third-party vendors are used to store data, Apple never gives them the keys. Apple retains the encryption keys in its U.S. data centres. iCloud content, as it exists in the subscriber’s account, may be provided in response to a search warrant issued upon a showing of probable cause.

I just tried it and I really liked it. It looks very promising. I applause author's statements about its business model ("The goal for me is to create the best file manager for Mac, not to become rich.").

I have tried everything, from Double Commander, to Forklift,Pathfinder and fman.

I was fman user for about a year (OSX) but it was slow and the quick look (with plugins) was unresponsive and crashed all the time so I cancelled my subscription about one month ago and I was in search for a minimal but powerful dual panel file manager with keyboard functionality.

Thanks for making this, it looks like TotalFinder (which I am a user since the beginning) for power users. Especially the tabs functionality

Also the HDDs that a large segment still uses.

The point I was trying to make was that a levying a fine would end up being a impose a crude way of eugenics on the population, since it might end up allowing for those that are rich to over-reproduce since they can better deal with the consequences.

It's widely known that RADAR systems are not able to detect stationary objects, only moving ones. Actually, they are are to detect them but just not where they come from, so a barrier in the middle of the road and a traffic sign on the side of the street, they would look like the same to the RADAR system.

But to be honest, I am more worried with the markings of the road rather than the inability of the autopilot of not foreseeing the accident: https://imgur.com/a/hAeQI

What's wrong with the US road administration? Why is this even look like a driving line? Where are the obvious markings? It's a very misleading road layout, I am curious the amount of accidents that happen there every year.

This is how I expect this kind of thing to look like: https://i.imgur.com/dfZehmd.gif

Given on how the road looks like, it makes more sense why Tesla is reinforcing the fact that the driver wasn't paying attention to the road.

Edit: Since people are curious about the limitations of the RADAR, the manual of the car mentions this limitation:

"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."

It is the same in the media industry, RSS is everywhere. It is just that the end users seldom see it..
The email protocols are hell. Absolute hell. I don’t think anyone truly groks how it works all the way down either.

A big difference is that email has slowly been developed over a period of decades, and so a lot of great software (both libs and GUIs) were built on top of it, and “perfected” over the time.

Maybe what prevented RSS from reaching the same level of development is that RSS is only composed by “creators”, while email has no target audience.
Lines of code is probably not a big influence on compilation speed for such a small program.

I don't think you can really speak of a 'standard compilation speed'. From your link: better-files compiles almost twice as fast as vector.scala, but has slightly less lines of code.

Not OP but open for a chance. Last time I checked the popular password managers saved the passwords in one way or another. Which personally simply sounds like a bad idea to begin with.

Even if in theorie they are safe. Even the slight chance that a single failure could lead to all my passwords getting in the wrong hands at once just is to scary.
"There's definitely something about the impact of social media in terms of people being able to go from slightly angry with each other to 'fight' very quickly," she said.

My first reaction was "another video games are bad" but ... i think "it's different this time" is fair to apply - it's a restrictive population, the social media aspect is just a new means of starting / escalating existing arguments.

interesting - social media used for all aspects of social interaction!
somebody literally walked in front of their car..

The analysis I've seen suggested that the self-driving system in the Uber vehicle had 4 or 5 seconds to detect the pedestrian crossing the road in front of them. Driving into a pedestrian on the road in that circumstance is /not/ acceptable for any driver, be they human or automated.

Don't be fooled by the video footage Uber released from the in-car camera - the quality is appalling. Compare it with the dashcam footage taken by people driving the same road at the same time & you'll see that visibility should have been perfect & a human driver would easily have avoided the pedestrian who was doing something that all of do every day - crossing the road.
I've been aggregating my news for my own use recently so I can keep a database of articles and grab articles from more sources than just RSS (some are parsed out of HTML).

The Python code for some of the sources is here: https://github.com/wybiral/stream-sources

On my network there's a bunch of those stream sources feeding into a Golang server that stores the articles and aggregates the ones I'm interested in for real-time updates/alerts.

The nice thing is that I can attach temporary scrapers with alerts to monitor status pages and other updates that don't use RSS or anything.

IMO WebSocket API's or streaming HTTP make more sense than RSS these days. But RSS can easily be converted into a format like that if you store the recent history and only push new content.
It seems to have been updated quite a bit. With support for more modern NN architectures. But I don't know how fast it is relative to the others.
What happened to good old returning NULL when no memory is available?

No let's do overcommit (malloc always works) and OOM-kill some random process when under memory pressure!
I think we agree on that. I'm certain they will. But that also agrees with my initial statement, no?

For Apple, they want thin and light. Mobile is both things, and the thought of designing a system that can cope with the 200W+ draw of desktop GPU parts doesn't even factor in to their thinking.

They're tossing a bone to the users who need actual heavy-duty GPU power by talking about the ability to use external cards, but (in my opinion) considering the cost and performance issues that come with that approach, it is more an admission that they truly don't care about that segment of the market than an actual solution.
Ionizing radiation is not selective about which molecular bonds get hit and broken up. There is no way to deal with the potentiality resulting billions of different molecules and their effects (the order of magnitude is probably way to low).

It is the same thing with transmutations caused by neutron radiation. If the proton count of the atom changes, the moecule that it is part of has to change as well. Again, there is no way to counter all the possible results of this process.

And finally, even if we countered the effect in humans, the wildlife would be similarly exposed, but without any treatment to counter the effects.

Directly fission powered airplanes are simply a pipe dream.

someone ships a new version of some low-level support program, and it goes to all of your machines at once, and they start out-of-memory-killing your memory storage stuff. In a matter of minutes, your entire service is dead and people start running around trying to figure it out.

Testing is sooooo oldfashioned. /s

Did you know you can force your memory allocation request(s) to only be served up by a given NUMA node? Did you then know that if that node happens to be nearly full, the kernel's OOM killer will wake up and start looking for something to assassinate?

Yes, I knew that, being an old-fashioned IT professional and all that. If you don't know about these things, and you blindly deploy patches to prod and then "run around trying to figure it out", you should step away from the terminal, and you have no business looking after a "really big system with hundreds of gigs of memory."

I yearn for the good old days - when you were assessed to be ready to look after a system - by your peers. Today, everyone with google is a fucking expert, and everything breaks.

Now get off my damn lawn.
The origin of the name Posix (2011)
> Why does it matter, and why is it so important to you? Does it change anything?

Yes. Your original point was something along the lines of you being overcharged by Apple because you now had to buy an expensive dongle. I showed that the expensive dongle you were talking about wasn’t actually as expensive as it seemed, which weakens your argument somewhat.

Regarding the keyboard on your laptop, I’ve heard plenty of anecdotes of the it just stop working on people, so I’ll concede that it probably has some sort of inherent issue there. You seem to be unlucky with an extreme case of this.

This is my biggest gripe with RSS. Not the fault of the protocol, just the user experience.

I mostly consume my feeds on the London Underground, so offline reading is perfect for that, but I tend to have to scroll through articles that are truncated because there's no point in reading them.

You could argue that the infrastructure of the tube network is the problem, not the state of the modern web, but still, it sucks.
I like that analogy. I'll make it more tenuous with - "I took a copy of your album collection without your permission, ripped them to MP3, played them so much everyone is sick of them. but you've still got all the original CD's you don't even use, so no problem right?"

On this tangent, IP ownership for deep learning models is interesting - how to you prove (in court) someone has/hasn't copied model/stolen a training set? If you fed someone else's training/model into your system, how easy is it to prove? Will we see the equivalent of map 'trap streets' in trained CNN models?

Open solutions are always more confusing than centralised ones. End user podcast apps try to hide all the details an make it look like "here's an app with podcasts in it". But behind the scenes it is wonderfully messy. Same with email.

Any time you try to make things work without a single central point it makes the whole thing harder to grasp and explain. Open ID was another example. End-user contact points try to simplify things by "productizing" the offering and hiding the implementation details, with various degrees of success.
Yes, one might quip that males under the age of 25 wouldn't be seen dead in any of those vehicles.
It's platform independent. Most deep learning libraries have absurd dependencies. They are difficult to install and only support specific OSes and GPUs. Javascript will run literally anywhere.
Went to japan for undergrad 2011-2015
Japanese school system is quite different from western one in the way that people don't do as much to prepare for career directly. Tech companies here plan to train the students on-site.(My friend who went to top graduate school in robotics now work on automobile. And another worked on speakers.) On the other hand, soft skills such as teamwork are valued much more.
All this make engineering major in japan much less instance than those in the states. Students join baseball clubs and such to practice the soft skills. Hence, his statement about the potential of startup coming out of Japanese universities is on point. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
What does "Startups not status" mean?
I agree it was very poorly judged. Regarding your last point, I honestly assumed that he had seen stirrings of this kid of reasoning within the company and was attempting to ridicule it.
Generally speaking, is it legal storing RSS content (if the RSS contains the article)
Not popular with the HN crowd, for obvious reasons - we like gadgets and consider ourselves capable of getting into the upper echelons of such cities.
Or Shenyang to Kunming which takes 18 hours on a train.
But what's your point? Trains aren't meant to replace crosscontinetal flights. It would be better to compare regional routes like LA - SF which is super inconvenient.

I think CalTrans owed up to its limitations: you should expect the road to be flat and not end abruptly without appropriate signage. But you are fully responsible to control the vehicle at all times and maintain an appropriate speed - so that when the road does inevitably end you can react safely. At no point are the crash atenuators a guaranteed component that the user of the road can expect to be in place and should rely on to save his life.

That is not to say CalTrans did not break some contractual obligations to replace that infrastructure in a reasonable timeframe, and shouldn't be held responsible in a commercial sense. But they are not in any way liable for the accident, the missing hardware was not a reason to stop traffic and all such devices are offered on a best effort, good to have, basis.

For those getting into RSS, I can recommend two resources.

For a SaaS newsreader, I really enjoyed using Newsblur. Great service, excellent functionality, and first-rate support.

For a desktop newsreader, I suggest Emacs with elfeed. That's what I use today, and is the only reason I'm not still happily paying for Newsblur.
We'll see about that when the time comes to test self-driving cars during an actual winter with snow, ice, black ice, slush, cars being parked 6" to a foot further into the street, et cetera. Driving around this winter in the upper midwest made me realize just how idealistic (and silly) people that think self-driving cars are 5 years away are.
Things have changed over the years. Even if the developers have patched gcc, or "own" gcc, linux still have to be built with gcc 4.4 otherwise many distro will have problems, so it does not solve the problem.

Moreover, change the semantics of C as you have suggested will break other non-linux-kernele existing programs. There may exists programs depending on the K&R version of max with side effect. Who nows?
And no, you can't get out of culpability by claiming statistical superiority.

Quite. Tesla is deliberately comparing their modern vehicle design & wealthy driver base (statistically one of the safest cohorts) with the entirety of the U.S. driving population. This is bad statistics: We expect Tesla vehicles to have far fewer accidents than the mean US vehicle per mile, because Tesla's are expensive modern vehicles with (relatively) wealthy drivers who can afford to keep them maintained & will themselves be in better health than the mean US driver.

Don't tell us how safe Tesla's are compared to the entire US driving population: Tell us how safe they are compared to equivalent vehicles from other manufacturers. My working assumption is that Tesla doesn't do that because it would be far less flattering to the 'A Tesla is totally safe, honest' PR boosterism that runs through every Tesla press release.
Do the Chinese/Asian governments do anything WRT to education now?

This seems like it has being going on for a while and the Asian governments just don't do anything.

If the driver had "five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider", then didn't the car, too?

I'm not disputing their statistics, but reading past the first two paragraphs of this article left a sour taste in my mouth. Feel like a better message ought to have been "we're going to learn from this, and won't stop improving until the crash rate is 0".
iOS device backups sort of poke a hole in my comment, since they by definition store essentially everything on your device that I said Apple keeps local. I’ll fall back on a weaker argument, that Facebook collects similar information as well, especially if you’ve ever used an Android device.
I must admit, I use Apple’s Keychain, I wouldn’t trust a third party app.
Do you have citations for this? AFAIK state of the art is to put the password through some password stretching algorithm (like PKBDF) and to encrypt the database with that. No need to store the password. I think NaCL offers out-of-the-box support for this.

EDITED to add: I am using Password Safe which is recommended by Bruce Schneier. What you describe would be an absolute noob mistake. He would be pretty embarrassed if you were right.
You lost me at Emacs.

The articles here are mostly title, link, summary too. So not too unlike what someone would share on social media or something.
It's not that straightforward. It's two adjacent lanes, which gets separated. Left one becomes an exit, the lane next to that one continues. The space between them keeps growing. The two lanes in question have a solid line between them before they separate to indicate you can't cross between them.
