Since upcoming changes in skill requirements for good jobs could be more rapid than in the past, we need to teach many more people how to learn faster and better.

I wonder if there are startups or programs from institution with a focus on this. I am aware of a popular course "Learning How to Learn" on Coursera. But it seems like an app that interactively helps people to apply this sort of lessons on a concrete set of materials (e.g. Finance, Cardiology, Microprocessor Design, Software Design, etc.) would be even more useful.

The coverage of the Netflix ratings format switch has always been frustrating to me because what people are complaining about (you're not the only one; https://www.polygon.com/2017/4/7/15212718/netflix-rating-sys...) was predictable from the beginning.

I do research in this area and it's fairly well established that when you go from something like five points to two points with ratings, you throw away tons of information. There's diminishing returns with numbers of points, but as you go lower you lose information.

The "ratings don't matter because what you want is implicit signals from peoples' actual behavior" is also disingenous because the rating behavior is a behavior that's directly tied to the stimulus in question. Not saying that indirect behavioral correlates aren't useful, only that the rating is a very powerful, direct correlate that tends to be very specific. Going back to the topic of the thread, sure, all those Facebook likes are going to be useful in predicting how much you like a candidate, but you're sure as hell going to get a lot of information by just asking them "on a scale of 1 to 5, how much do you approve of X?"

In which bucket would you put the possibility that the computer observed evidence of the barrier, but the evidence that there was no barrier -- the prior that barriers don't exist in lanes of traffic -- was too strong?
No, of course driver inputs will not be ignored. They will override the autopilot. But none were given. From the blog:

>In the moments before the collision, which occurred at 9:27 a.m. on Friday, March 23rd, Autopilot was engaged with the adaptive cruise control follow-distance set to minimum. The driver had received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive and the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision. The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator, but the vehicle logs show that no action was taken.
As a Tesla owner, this is not accurate wording. The car will very quickly decelerate until about 5 mph if you have the crawl feature on.

I need to make a post, as a long time Tesla owner/very frequent autopilot user, because I think I know exactly what happened. Unfortunately I need to go to bed, already up later that I should be for tomorrow. A lot of information and comments I’ve seen about how it works and how autopilot is dangerous etc, are quite wrong. I think it’d be important for people to understand how it works from people who use it and get their opinions first before making statements about AP in general.

For the record, I love using AP and will continue to do so. But it is no silver bullet, and 99.5% of Tesla owners know this and how to correctly use it.
Hello founder of Panda here, you can use http://usepanda.com to read RSS as well. Right now you can add maximum 3 RSS feeds for free. With pro account you can add unlimited feeds. (It's as low as $2.99 per month) We're planning to start a Patreon campaign and our goal is to make all the premium features free for all the users as we reach our goals on the platform. As soon as we reach $2000 we'll make RSS feeds free for everyone. Hope you guys give it a try :)
> My suspicion is that Apple wants to get into the GPU game themselves

They said the upcoming Mac Pro will be "modular", which I think is a clear sign it will have external GPUs, or certainly will lean heavily in the direction of encouraging users with a heavy GPU workload in that direction.

I wonder if it’s possible to determine whether those cars have zero death rates in part because someone who would buy that model is less likely to get in a fatal accident in the first place—whether because of who they are, or how they were advertised, or whatever. I imagine a minivan owner as a very cautious driver…then again, I have been in the passenger seat when a friend was doing drifts in his mom’s minivan, so your mileage may vary.

While I think this trend is growing (and moving at a snail's pace, like most things that aren't engrained in japanese culture), I want to point out that students from the University of Tokyo (colloquially "toudai") are the most likely to attract funding/find the connections to be funded as startups.

Toudai has a reputation as a school full of eccentric people (quite often literally called the equivalent of "weirdos"), likely because of the high percentage of "smart"/obssessive types who go there (this is probably some equal percentage stereotype, truth, and self-fulfilling prophecy). This is also probably a big contributing factor to the fact that the percentage of people doing startups instead of other options.

I think Japan could be a really huge place for startups to be honest -- the ~4 years of undergrad in college here are actually really really lax, and could have so much potential as a time to try ideas. The right school, with the right hacker-space and the right supporting generalist classes could produce an amazing set of entrepreneurs, but no one's doing it yet.

> Because we integrate, learn, plan, abstract, create, have way more senses, complex memory, societal and cultural embeddings, and a whole host of things that make us human.

And yet all this complexity and purpose may potentially be simply the product of putting a large collection of matter in a heat bath for a few billion years.

Who says that this process can't be repeated via brute force simulation? That the emergence of complexity and life under thermal disequilibrium + sufficient number of degrees of freedom is actually a basic fact of the universe?

I don't see any rule saying why, with sufficient brute force computational power, we won't be able to set up better and better simulations that will allow for the arise of true artificial intelligences.
Hey Wired, maybe RSS would be more popular if media outlets like you would put more in your RSS feeds than a title and single sentence for each article.

But I get it. You need ads to make money, and just putting ads in your RSS feed is not enough because they're not "interactive" enough, or something. You need those "engagement" metrics that you generate by making readers press a button to read the full article.

I was trying and fell short of something witty to say. Just, wow, this is a sorry state of affairs. Just give me the damn content and I'll be on my merry way.
I've been using the same method for about 16 years thanks to Firefox. RSS toolbar feeds[0] have been supported since Firefox was in beta (Phoenix). I never did use Google Reader, I viewed that as for the kids! Came and went and I never paid any attention to it, didn't need it and I waited out its existence apparently.

RSS toolbar feeds are also the reason I never switched to Chrome, ever. Google never wanted anyone to have ad-free RSS feeds catch on when they could potentially prevent a site visit.

For my iOS solution, I use Feedly by simply subscribing to the same sources as I do in Firefox. Not much else is necessary. Other than picking up Feedly for mobile, same tool all this time.

Yes. This might be a problem with software implementations but it's the reason why I don't use rss anymore. The anxiety caused by "There's 500000 unread items in your feeds"
I always felt RSS/ATOM were underrated,

So in 2015 for the love of RSS and information consumption we set out to build a completely customisable news aggregator app with fast parsing (RSS/ATOM), category selection, reorder categories, notification customisation -(schedule, DND), image toggle, data saving mode, filter, youtube, sharing news with own voice attached called Talk about News - https://talkabout.co.in/

Sharing news along with voice was the USP, so that the shared content gets more value. While working on this, we saw that not every site followed RSS/ATOM standards we had to individually handle different sites for the shortcomings. I'm certain that, though Feedly started as RSS aggregator they are now parsing the sites as a whole for content for the same reasons.

By the time we built and released it, we understood Facebook has become the defacto news consumption source and without big marketing budget; our project was dead as soon as it arrived. We tried to salvage the tech and re-brand it as 'build your own app'for bloggers, but it didn't take off.

But we did take the voice sharing feature from TaN to another product called larynx, as we understood the 'News' in the name of Talk about News was one of the main inhibitors for downloads.

Note: If any of you tried the app and if didn't work as expected; my apologies as the app hasn't been actively developed for years now & the website exists only for historical reasons.
This isn’t a joke.
I've had 2 of those cars - the Sorento and the Odyssey, and they both feel really tactile/agile to drive, as well as being chill, relaxing rides.
This wont work really well until everyone has fast fiber links. Streaming needs a seamless connection, unlike normal downloads.

... well you certainly aren’t from southeast Michigan, that’s for sure.
Ahhh, PowerDNS! At the time I determined that BIND was completely unscalable to perform configuration management on (no include directives in those days, circa 2007), I determined that I needed a DNS server which supported ordinary SQL and a relational database on the backend.

PowerDNS was the only DNS server at the time to use a relational database, and they supported several, including Oracle, which is what won me over. I embarked on an epic journey to make PowerDNS a first class citizen on Solaris 10. It took me five years, but boy did it pay off with massive dividends in stability and scalability!

PowerDNS isn't a perfect piece of software though: it has two major weaknesses, first that it is written in C++ as opposed to C and that made it a bitch to port to Solaris, and second that it depends on Boost, which is also a massive, bloated C++ monster which is a nightmare to get to build on any platform, let alone Solaris.

However, the software itself is a damn good DNS server, resistant to most attacks and constantly improving having had loving care from its user community, some which could be core PowerDNS developers in their own right. Finally it bears writing that the owners of PowerDNS are some of the kindest, sweetest guys one ever had the pleasure of working with, and they are open to considering suggestions and accepting contributions in patches and features. They were an absolute blast to work with over the years and could serve as poster children on how open source collaboration could work and make money off of at the same time.
Not excusing tesla but how on earth can there be a piece of flat concrete instead of a v shaped bendable deflector ? Was there one but had to be replaced ?
But this wasn't a self driving vehicle. It isn't capable of dealing with all situations, and it warning the driver for 6 seconds to take control, which didn't happen.
I was trying and fell short of something witty to say.

But you're right. I use feedly and have chrome extensions that's give me full articles in a readable fashion.

I would LOVE to visit some of my favorite sites and read articles as the site designers meant for them to be read. But all of the js and ad fuckery makes reading articles online an absolute goddamn chore lately.

So here we are.

RSS revival? Bring it on. I'll play drums.
True. RSS gives control over what and how we consume information. The curated newsfeed is prone to gaming and misuse. In fact, we should be able to select feeds, curation engines and reader apps. This way it would be less of a "platform" and more of "www".
If you look at the imgur link you'll see a impact barrier that had previously been crushed and not reset or repaired.
Isn‘t it possible to formally check Simulink autogenerated code using Polyspace? Or are you thinking of something else?
If it was close to the crash they would have straight up just said that. They're just trying to muddy the facts.
I always found RSS/Atom most useful for following sources (usually personal blogs and podcasts) that post infrequently, but where every post is worth reading. Like Oona Räisänen's blog: http://www.windytan.com/

For sources that post a lot, it's less useful, since I can just visit every couple of days and have stuff to read.

And this means one can easily keep up with the feeds.
I got recommendations for KeePass from many friends (some were actually working in security) but what keeps me away is the Mac OS support [0], specifically that I have to install Mono.

Not the same place nor nearby. From the picture on page 24 it's clear that this is the 85/101 interchange in south San Jose, about 20 miles away from the other 85/101 junction where the Tesla accident happened.

The type of accident does seems comparable though.
I also recommend this book heartily - it's amazing. There have been mutterings about crowdsourcing an update, and I think I saw a github repo once but I can no longer find it. Here's an example:

any healthy human would not deliberately drive into the barrier

But plenty have driven negligently into barriers.

The worst such crash I've ever seen was barely 2 miles from there, on northbound 85 near Fremont Ave. There is a soundwall that comes to a connection point where a wall segment is directly perpendicular to the freeway. For some reason, the guardrail had a gap there almost exactly the width of a vehicle.

A few years ago, a vehicle veered off the right shoulder and perfectly threaded the gap, into the wall at full speed. It was compressed to maybe 5 feet long.
Note: Tesla is comparing the fatality rate of autopilot-equipped cars with the average accident rate. They are NOT only counting miles where autopilot is used, they are counting all miles driven by their cars. It could be that Tesla drivers are inherently safer than the general population, or that the cars themselves are much safer. What they are not doing (at least with the data) is making a statistical claim about autopilot safety.
It always has been. I've been a happy NetNewsWire user for well over a decade. It even supports shell script feeds, so you can write scrapers for sites that don't provide an RSS/ATOM feed themselves.

Is it possible to automate the schedules? It seems that the customers still need to select the schedules.
What about a 50 to 100 passenger, large triangle glider shape PV coated. Medious speed, light motors, no duel and take off energy provided from a ground propeller ?
You're saying autopilot refuses to run on rural roads?
The lesson here is that if you're designing an operating system, you should also be designing/evolving the programming language to go alongside it. The original authors of Unix did this (developing C in parallel), and so have many more obscure OSes. This could have been written simply as 'max()' with appropriate modifications to the compiler to make it do the right thing.
Exactly my thoughts. You have explained in words what I have been thinking for a very long time.
If you think the energy crises was about price controls you took away very little from the history. Oil exports were dropped dramatically as part of an "economic weapon" to pressure the United States into abondoning Israel.

This is not a story of a happy free market rudely interrupted by price controls.
intertwingly.net! Now that brings back memories! Sam Ruby, Dave Winer, Jeffrey Zeldman, Eric Meyer, Tim Bray, Mark Pilgrim, Joe Clark. XML, DTDs, XML Schema, Relax NG, XSL, XSLT, FOP, CSS and XHTML! WaSP, micro formats (and XML-RPC, SOAP, and WSDL (pre-WS-Death Star). Oh, heady days!

Apologies for the pedantry, but a nit: It's Atom, not ATOM. It's not an acronym like RSS.

Oooh, adversarial scenario generation! I think there's something to that.
Regarding Qbits, the number doesn't mean much. Error rate is far more important. Microsoft hasn't yet created a real-world topological qbit, but they have much-improved noise properties in theory.
3 Ways That Blockchain Gives Digital Assets Value
Not quite. The battery pack actually has an aerogel like insulating layer above it in between the cabin and the pack to allow people time to exit, and ports the flames to the front and rear of the vehicle, rather than the sides for this exact reason. It will obviously eventually consume the whole vehicle, because lithium fires burn so hot, but they've done a lot to ameliorate this concern. I thought the driver in this case was removed _before_ the fire started.
Inoreader.com has a feature that loads the whole page in-app (and possibly even 'readabilitized' it). I'm sure other feed readers do it too though.
Also, Tesla can mistakenly think you aren't holding the wheel when you are. Happens to me all the time.

Regardless of the criticism of Tesla here, surely the driver wasn't watching the road, or otherwise this wouldn't have happened.
That's not a feature, it's more bug prone.
It can be useful to find out who's been spamming requests at your server and block connections on the firewall level.
Except those solid white lines delimit an uncrossable barrier delimiting the HOV-specific (during commute hours) flyover from the 101 lane, which is well documented for nearly a mile preceding that point.
IMO, RSS is by far the best tool to get news content. Thanks to the ratio signal/noise.

Problem is, how to convince website editors to promote theirs RSS feeds while there are many social networks out there with built-in ads feature.
C language is simple, and the result is this considerably complex piece of implementation instead.

They claim to have deleted that data. If they haven't deleted the data, then of course it's still an invasion of privacy. But the ML model really has nothing to do with it.

What It Took to Land My Dream Software Engineering Job
I dislike most RSS/Atom readers for the same reason. I made my own minimal reader for my personal use [1] that only groups entries together by date and displays a feed/title URL I can click on. My browser can remember which links I've read and which I haven't. I find it works really well, it does exactly what I want.

> I appreciate that this is a work in progress but this section is misleading. As all too briefly mentioned elsewhere on the page, EDNS allows extending this. In practice most of the resolvers I connect to do support EDNS and a buffer of 4096. So yes 512 may be needed as a fallback (depending on what you're doing) but you'll almost certainly have more room to breathe than that. IPv6 and DNSSEC practically make the extra space a necessity.

EDNS is fundamental DNS knowledge that any DNS server implementer knows and Bert is one. He's talking about "when DNS was created" in that context, i.e., the current DNS's RFC 1034/1035 times.
There has been a lot of repaving work on 101, so these may well not be the final markings.
I read that that driver was arrested for DUI.
I think you are mis-analyzing. Tesla fires are extremely rare, more so than gasoline fires. And the fires take much longer to occur.
I think there's automatic collision avoidance always on that uses the autopilot sensors. So even if you're not actively using autopilot, the car can avoid hitting an obstacle it sees on the road.
I often find it amusing how C advocates complain about the complexity of C++, and then proceed to implement the same complex functionality in even more brittle ways. Language features I have seen C developers emulate poorly in C: constepxr (here), virtual functions (with function pointers), templates (with macros), exceptions (with setjmp/longjmp).
Tree span is better.
The dev has always been really responsive and closely watching the community, while Feedly focuses on premium support and feels more corporate.

Several features are free: Unlimited sources and feeds, entire search for your own feeds, unlimited tags, sharing via inoreader email

There is also: loading of mobilized content via single click/key, better shortcuts, comprehensive tagging management, more settings, better settings placement, contact management, better feeds stats info, save an entry as pdf or print it, more sharing options, better compact theme, more RSS export settings, export the entire profile which includes the content for favorites and save web pages

Free Feedly boards are limited to 3 and have been only introduced last year, while tags in Inoreader are more powerful, free and part of the service since 2013

Days ago I received an email from the makers of Airmail about their upcoming RSS Reader app called Cappuccino and invited me to their beta app. It still early but a promising app.
the ~4 years of undergrad in college here are actually really really lax

Is this because undergrad does not prepare you for a career and the bulk of the "useful" learning happens later on the job?
I have a question- why keep ap on at all? Are they beta testing it and using metrics? Because I don't think it's the difference between someone buying a car and not.
It is becoming (has become?) an established part of the culture -- "Lambda in a `map`? Use a list comprehension instead."

Which is annoying, because there are times when using map or filter is cleaner; for example, if you're doing pipeline-y stuff, using the function-based approach is much easier to read and reason about than doing a bunch of nested comprehensions.

I also tend to think people don't use itertools enough. But it catches people by surprise enough that several of my messing-with-interviewers canned solutions to common problems make heavy use of itertools (including a FizzBuzz which contains no 'for' or 'if' statements).

I'm bummed that no one has mentioned Feedbin, for which I have paid since it launched back in 2013(?). It's fast, not too larded up with unnecessary features, works across the desktop, iOS, and Android, and costs money, so I know that it'll be around for a while, and that I'm the customer and not the product.
