I have no idea what you are asking about. I've never touched any computer with Linux, Unix, or whatever operating system Apple uses or any Apple device of any kind.

My point was simple, really simple, dirt simple: The OP said that Apple was dropping support for 32 bit applications or some such. So, my point was that the AMD, Asus, Microsoft products I listed seem to be continuing 32 bit support, that is, will continue to run some now quite old software.

Why make this point? Simple. Standard in computing: Being able to run old software remains important. That's why.

I am drawing only from the OP. Again, yet again, over again, once again, one more time, I don't know anything about the 32 bit issue and Apple beyond the remark in the OP. So, in particular, I don't know any details about what emulation, machine instruction rewriting, old thunking, containers, virtual machines, etc. Apple might have for running 32 bit software.

Again, I'm just saying that it appears that Apple is in some sense dropping support or some such for some old software and that being able to run old software is sometimes important and, curiously, seems to be possible to some extent on the products I mentioned.
Nothing except it's a French word.
>How much of the political theater is affected by this?

IMHO the political theater is not affected by theatrics and narrative building. Theatrics and narrative building are the very backbone of politics. Want to push a bill you consider appropriate? Nope, you'll have to generate outrage, participate in a couple of speaking engagements at conferences click-baity names, tweet a snarky remark that simplifies an otherwise complex topic to a petty "exchange", pander to the demographics most likely to agree with you.

You're pro-gun rights? Hope for a terrorist attack! You're pro-gun confiscation? Hope for a school shooting!
It's so disgusting, it's utterly worrying, sad, disgusting to see us engage one another in this way.

Theatrics, opinion shaping, narrative building is the backbone of public spaces, therefore also of our media, of course also of our culture and definitely of our politics.

If I had to coin a snarky sentence to shape the future for years to come I'd plaster the following everywhere as a warning to everyone regarding the very dystopian future we are building:

It's about emotions, stupid! Oh, and they know.

Social media, online communities, memes, viral content, Machine Learning all are very useful tools in furthering the feedback loop that lead our emotions to only spiral more and more out of control.

Sounds like some really mixed messages here.
There’s nothing stopping you from keeping your machine running the same version of the OS you’re on now. It will continue to run fine indefinitely, and should run all the software you use now.

Surely Apple is allowed to release updates to their OS that eventually break old software at some point. Or do you expect Mac software you bought in 1984 to continue run on the current OS?
For people more in the know than me: how do the broadcast engineers stop a signal jacking? If it's with sufficiently powerful microwave equipment, doesn't it drown out the real signal, and thus it wouldn't be possible to drown it out? Or am I missing something here?
This paper offers some good points but exhibits a number of flaws that limit its applicability to the utility of current neuroscience methods. For a generally thoughtful conversation, see http://www.brainyblog.net/2016/08/30/could-a-neuroscientist-... from 2016. One comment that I'd like to highlight from this conversation is pasted below:

" But no attempt is made to analyze the similarities and differences in those behaviors. All three game behaviors rely on similar functions. Depending on the level of similarity between the behaviors, you might think of it as trying to find a lesion that only knocks out your ability to read words that start with “k” versus words that start with “s.” That’s an experiment that’s unlikely to succeed. But if the behaviors are more like “speaking” vs “understanding spoken words” vs “understanding written words” then it’s a more reasonable experiment.

The authors argue that neuroscientists make the same mistake all the time; that we are operating at the wrong level of granularity for our behavioral measures and don’t know it. That argument denies the degree to which we characterize behaviors in neuroscience, and how stringent we are about controls.

The authors point to the fact that transistors that eliminate only one behavior are not meaningfully clustered on the chip. But what they ignore are the transistors that eliminate all three behaviors. Those structures are key to the functioning of the device in general. To me, those 1560 transistors that eliminated all three behaviors are more worthy of study than the lesions that affect only one behavior, because they allow us to determine what is essential to the behavior of the system. You can think of those transistors as leading to the death of the organism, just as damage to certain parts of the brain cause death in animals."

I'd be curious to know if there's much digital and/or crypto in those signals too - part of me suspect the satellites themselves are mostly "too old" to be doing anything except analog - although I do sometimes notice the resolution on MotoGP races drop significantly, I think that's last mile cable bandwidth problems when the Sunday night movie starts pumping full HD into all my neighbours houses, rather than the signal from space...

I can't recall anything that was surprising in Mass Effect.

It's basically a dumb down Babylon 5 environment, with a dumb down Deus Ex gameplay and a dumb down Hyperion twist, served on a fake open world made of long empty corridors or galaxy trajectories. If the fights were good I would forgive it, but even that is very basic.

I really don't understand the appeal of this game.

Maybe it appeals to people that don't read much SF or played a lot of videos games before 2000 because they don't have reference of anything better ? It's true that today people consider fallout 3 & next as good, while there are only the shadow of 1 and 2.

And I don't say that because "it was better before". Breath of the Wild and Pillar of Eternity prove you can get plenty of quality in today's production.
...as I get stares (okay, mostly of fear) if I point out that we need a branch in my workplace. What you can/can't do (sanely) with your tool shapes how you think about its problem space.

To emphasize that even more: Try to explain the concept of an ML-style sum type (i.e. a discriminated union in F#) to someone who only knows languages with C++-based type systems. You'll have a hard time to even explain why this is a good idea, because they will try to map it to the features they know (i.e. enums and/or inheritance hierarchies), and fail to get the upsides.
Wow, surprised that I’ve never seen this come up in any Tesla discussion before.

Why? There are plenty of classes that teach nothing, perhaps even teach bad habits.
Well designed graphical representations of bird calls would be very useful, after the association has been made between audio and graphical features. Graphics can be examined out of time, as it were: there is no need to replay them in a loop, many can be compared at a glance, particular details can be examined carefully without distraction by the rest, etc.

There is a reason people make graphical displays of many types of information: the visual system is a low latency, high bandwidth, high sensitivity, very effective pattern matching tool.

Among other things this is why we read instead of only listening to spoken language, and why we write music using graphical notation.
Yep. But developers have no excuse for being late to that show -- Carbon was always explicitly a transitional technology, for a transition which ended over 10 years ago. Warnings have been plastered all over the documentation for ages.

I submitted this a couple months ago [1], let's hope it gets more traction this time. The enormous half-mechanical behemoths of the past had a majestic charm in their size and cost, the complexity, the sheer number of things going on that you can actually see and hear.

Even though today's computers are vastly more powerful, they just aren't the same as this museum piece.

It's also highly interesting to read the video description, which links to email exchanges between the museum restorers and the original developers of the ancient compiler in question, who are now in their 90s!

Yes, a brain does not work like a CPU. As noted by another user in this thread, understanding brain is a considerably harder problem. "CPUs are deliberately engineered so that their different functions are nicely decoupled and easy to reason about but brains are the result of a very messy evolutionary process" -SilasX
It would be interesting to repeat this for a GPU.

A CPU has so much hardware common to most instructions that any failure will take it down completely. That's less true of a GPU, where a failure of one of the massively parallel units is likely to manifest as some alteration of the output image.
Yes, I've considered such. Unfortunately real-time audio processing is one of those areas where virtual machines are still very finicky.
Tell them that it is completely impossible to set up rigorous controls in a study of ethnicity and intelligence anyway.

The bigger question is why do some people care so much and why are they so focused on ethnicity among many other data points that could be predictive of intelligence. I typically ask these people if some connection between race and intelligence actually existed, is it your intention to change how society is organized or governed somehow? If it is, then there are historical examples of that going badly, and if not, then why is the answer important?
This isn't "physics in this way" - it's a computation and machine learning problem that still has not been solved with purely visual sensors.
Note that it's not (only) about colors... Human vision has trouble picking out colors in the dark, yet it still allows us to process world around us to a surprising degree. However until the "brain" of the car is good enough, it is simply irresponsible of Tesla not to use all the data available, from as many different sensors as possible. Testa should use color. And they should use Lidar.

Personally I believe there’s a group of people, and I’m not saying you are one, who expect disaster because they hold an opposing political opinion. It’s similar to wanting to see your enemy fail, except seeing your enemy fail also means you fail in this case.

A huge amount of climate research data has been faked. Multiple times “scientists” have been caught for this. Global temperature differences are currently not statistically significant.
Nice tutorial! Nice site too, would love to see more tutorials for Angular, Vue and more.
I‘m smelling the SQL case could be reasonably easily thrown together with PostgreSQL and a custom Foreign Data Wrapper based on protobuf-c (prior art: cstore_fdw by the Citus folks). Proto definitions then should compile rather cleanly to table definitions, at least one level down (PG isn‘t so good with nested structures).

The main thing stopping this endeavour is probably that to the best of my knowledge, there isn‘t any standardization in the Protobuf community about file formats serializing multiple of these together like RecordIO - that, and my C skills are pretty rusty by now :)

Wow, is this basically like Stan/PyMC3 with performance benefits via GPU/TPU? Are there benchmarks published anywhere?
"And if any of that is not enough, well, Anaconda Continuum will be happy to do business with you."

Yes, this is a key point that seems to be forgotten. The Python development team will end their support on 1st January 2020, but there are other providers with Python expertise who will almost certainly pick up the commercial opportunity, e.g. ActiveState, and possibly even Red Hat with a separate product.

This is not the end of Python 2, it's going to be a transition to a different support model. Commercial users either pay to move up, pay to rewrite the Python code with something else, or pay for a super long-life version of Python 2.

The awkward part may be academic research, where there's a probably a lot of Python 2 code that has no maintenance budget. I would not be surprised if a project appears to build no-support versions of Python 2 with essential fixes after 2020.
He'll never do it, because if he makes their lives difficult, they'll Standard Oil his ass posthaste.
Genuinely curious about the statistics: does it count human corrections as if they would have resulted in the crash? Because if not, they are simply not valid.
Depends which game. FF7, Baldur's gate and portal have great plots. It's just that good plots take a lot of time and don't make as much money. So producers request them to be removed from games, movies, tv shows, etc.

Why would you bother making a plot when you can make bank with Transformer ?
Yeah I guess the perception has to be good enough to not crash in situations where humans wouldn't. It seems not quite there with tesla. Waymo seems to be better in that regard.
We are discussing the use of Autopilot, so it is a fair comparison. Nobody is worried about the safety of a Tesla with autopilot off.
Testing analytical methods of a field against engineered artefacts is a good idea but there is a fatal flaw here; devices that do a fetch-decode-execute-retire loop against a register file and a memory bus have perversely little in common with what neurobiology is concerned with. A more appropriate artefact would be a CPU and its memory (where NOP'ing out code or flipping flags corresponds to "lesioning"), or even better, an FPGA design (where different functions work in parallel in different locations on the silicon, much like brains).

That the tools of neuroscience choke on a 6502 is as much of an indictment of the former as my inability to fly helicopters is an indictment of my fixed-wing airmanship; not coping well with notoriously perverse edge cases outside your domain of expertise isn't inherently a sign of failure (it's not a licence to stop improving, of course). Brains and 6502s are quite literally entirely different kinds of computing, much like designing for FPGA is weird and different from writing x86 assembly or C.

A far more interesting question is "could a neuroscientist understand an FPGA?".
I run into this problem all the time. I’ve gotten into the habit of bouncing all the individual tracks on a project I put down for a while; it’s not perfect, but at least I have something left if a plug-in breaks later.
Apple still sells a USB CD/DVD burner, I don't think they'll be dropping DVD playback any time soon. I think it's more likely that they've had an intern rewriting DVD Player.app in Cocoa and Swift, and it'll ship in 10.14.

Which is, by the way, part of why I love the marketing for Mobileye (at least in Israel, haven't seen e.g. American ads). It's marketed not as driving the car, but as stepping in when the human misses something. Including one adorable TV spot starring an argumentative couple who used to argue about who's a better driver, and now uses the frequency of Mobileye interventions as a scoring system. Kind of like autonomous car disengagement numbers :-P

Actually, that’s a terrible link. Before Trump’s tax increase targeting CA/NY, the SALT itemized deduction lowers the effective tax rate by a further 3% or so, and that calculator fails to include it.
Just curious, what parts of your code are not portable to Python 3? The biggest barrier usually seems to involve strings/Unicode. Or are you relying on packages that don’t have Python 3 support?

In any case, it sounds like you have a stable Python 2.7 system running, so what’s the issue? Nobody’s going to come and take your code away from you.

>Money absolutely matters. If there's no money, there's no development. And vice versa.

Both are not true. It does not need money for a man to have a great breakthrough idea. It is also not possible to guarantee generation a great idea by just throwing more and more money at researchers...
You're absolutely right. And we need more people who are interesting in fixing problems, and fewer interested in LARPing Fallout.
I've looked into it a little before and couldn't find anything except research supporting a race-IQ correlation. I've heard rumors of cultural bias in tests but didn't find actual research. There does seem to be an economy factor though because countries with racially similar people tend to have different IQs in relation to their economic performance. I think this is the biggest and most widespread misunderstanding the moderate left (ie not communists) has about the world.

My theory is that people are afraid the general public doesn't have the education or self-discipline necessary to know this information (even if it's wrong!) without turning into violent racists. Black slavery used to be justified by "they're inferior so it's OK to treat them badly", and the left countered the first part of that but not the second. It's entirely possible that they are, on average, inferior intellectually but that doesn't justify abusing them. How can you let that genie out of the bottle though without people making blanket judgments of entire races?

Just in case anyone thinks I'm a white supremacist, it's not whites at the top, it's Asians and Ashkenazi Jews.

That doesn't mean discussions including it have to bash C or C++. In fact, there is supposedly a very high standard in the official Rust community against bashing other languages.

Plenty of languages have completely replaced or circumvented C and C++ (i.e., out-competed them) in their respective niches without it being a heated two-minutes hate every time discussions come up.
