Yea, there are some interesting experiments on this stuff. Though they used drugs vs surgery to test it out.

Tunnel test

The pigeons were trained to go to one end of the tunnel if the coils were switched on, generating a magnetic field, and to the other if they were switched off, leaving Earth's natural field unperturbed. "I was pleasantly surprised. The pigeons were very fast learners," says Mora, now at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

Their skills were impaired, however, when the researchers attached magnets to their upper beaks, and also when the upper beak was anaesthetized. This suggests that their ability is down to the presence of magnetically sensitive material in this area, the researchers report in this week's Nature1."

Hmm. Those all seem like fairly basic words to know; OK, maybe "spider" isn't as common a word to need, but it is something that comes up in conversation sometimes. That particular phrase isn't one you're going to have to say very often, but I'd say it would be pretty hard to say you're fluent in a language if you don't know those words.

I've been doing Duolingo for French for the past few months, trying to dust off the couple of semesters of French I took in college and get a bit beyond that to maybe get to the point where I can get by. Yes, there is a bit skewed towards things like family relationships, clothes, the house at the beginning; things that might be important if you're living somewhere but possibly less important if you're just visiting. But they are always adding new content, and as the original article points out they just did a revamp to give access to a lot of newer content they hadn't provided access to before.

I don't know; a language generally has a huge amount of vocabulary, as well as grammar to learn, and you need to learn it in some order.

The main thing I do find lacking is that it's pretty much all translation or transcription of simple sentences, or word matching. I do find these helpful for learning vocabulary and grammar, but they aren't going to lead to fluency. The article does mention that something that they are working on is longer listening comprehension exercises, which I think would help out with that a lot.

A little OT, but given the nature of this bug, I'm surprised we haven't heard of many more of these types of accidents, given the possible number of highways on which road lines may be ambiguous. Is it a problem of underreporting? Are all the other Tesla drivers just that much more attentive when using Autopilot?
I dislike trying to talk about "The Reddit Community" for the same reason I'd dislike trying to talk about "The New York City Community" or "The Tokyo Community": You don't have a million-member community. You can talk about Dunbar's Number, you can talk about the simple fact nobody goes out and meets a million people even if they're all on the same website/within a half-mile radius of their home, but the result is the same.

It's possible to talk about "The Average Redditor" or "The Average New Yorker" or "The Average Tokyo Resident", because statistics isn't about community, but the whole reason Reddit has survived at the size it is is precisely because subreddits allow different people to have vastly different views of "what's on Reddit" based on subscription/unsubscription. This allows The_Donald and EnoughTrumpSpam and dozens of other communities which would fight like cats in a sack were they ever mixed to share the same service.

So Reddit isn't a community. It's a pre-made hosted platform to build a community meeting point that you can largely (or completely, via invitation-only private subreddits) insulate from all the other communities on the same platform.

The trick is that they want the application to be able to see what the original destination IP and port were. I'm not sure if a pf redirect preserves that information.
Not really a software anti-pattern, as it does not result in any particular software mechanism.

If anything, this is a development-process anti-pattern (not even software specific).
Its also extremely obvious and non-specific so doubtful that its worth naming as an anti-pattern.

You want to talk contact patches? Your car's tires have tiny contact patches, talk to the asphalt in four places the size of your tongue. The Deliverator's car has big sticky tires with contact patches the size of a fat lady's thighs. The Deliverator is in touch with the road, starts like a bad day, stops on a peseta."

Well ... I kinda like the query syntax's ability to traverse relationships, nest objects/sub-headings, and apply filters at the level of projected expressions!

This has been done before of course, but I'm not sure I've seen this combination of syntax on an RDB before. It's certainly easier to read and write that a bunch of outer joins.

What would be nice to know is whether this can work on top of an existing PG database, providing easier syntax.

While their last example makes _sense_:

open_prs := User.<assignee[IS PullRequest] {
title
} FILTER .status = 'Open'

I don't find it easy to read/understand. If the [bracketed expression] acts as a filter, why not:

open_prs := User.<assignee[IS PullRequest AND
.status='open'].title

which preserves the nice dot-chaining for link traversal.

> So what, some people are just luckier now?

Yes. Partly. Peak relative wealth — or the specific Gini coefficient — is not something I would expect to be constant, but is something I expect to be modified by social policies more than tax rates: what the money is spent on is more important than how much is raised.
So the halting problem isn't stating that there exists a program that you can't analyze to see if it stops, the problem states you can't create a single PROGRAM that will be able to analyze all other programs.

A very crude explanation for the proof is something like this:

Imagine you design a program that takes another program as input and tells you if it halts.

Now, imagine you create another program, and all it does is call your first program, passing itself as the argument. Then, it does the opposite of whatever the first program predicts that it will do; if your 'halting detection program' says this new program will halt, the program instead loops forever. If your 'halting detection program' says this new program will loop forever, instead it halts.

So, in short, the idea is that you can't create a program IN ADVANCE that can't be tricked by a future program that knows about the halting detection program you are using.

So yes, you CAN analyze any program, but not by using a single algorithm.

A fun story using this idea is in Godel, Escher, Bach: https://genius.com/Douglas-hofstadter-contracrostipunctus-an...

Good for them for actually trying something.

I speak Irish pretty well and Duolingo I think is a fantastic tool to get better and learn some new words that I didn't no. (Neither my dad nor I knew portán meant crab). The issue is that pronunciation in Irish is kinda varied but the lady who does it for Duolingo is on some extreme. The majority of Irish speakers would not pronounce things that way in the slightest and it would be misleading for someone who learned on the app to actually try and speak it as I'm not sure I would understand them

The standard corporate PR response in cases like this is along the lines of "we are cooperating fully with the investigation and will have no further statement on the incident until the investigation has concluded, pursuant to regulation such-and-such". Not only does that keep them in compliance, it also starves the media of new stuff to report on.

What Tesla has done is the worst of both worlds -- it puts them at odds with regulators, and it helps sustain the story.

Certainly. I do not mean to imply it is only luck, merely that luck is the major difference between him and any of my successful private sector employers.
Abstractions and hard-interfaces rarely result in increased efficiency.

Breaking through the barriers and merging layers often allows a more inefficient solution in the same way as denormalisation increases performance through ignoring the "rules".
Me too. It marks someone as a person I can immediately feel superior to, without knowing anything else about them.

I will continue to use "nigh-inexhaustible", and bandy it about with sesqui-infinite glee, from the tall saddle of my high horse.
- The average US fatality is not in a ten year old car on a country road.
- US crash rates are lower than worldwide rates, so Tesla’s estimate of lives saved worldwide is low.
- If autopilot is only used part of the time, that implies its safety benefit is significantly more than 3.7x. A model S is not 3.7x better at passive safety than other cars.

Of course none of this data is very meaningful. You have to compare the rates of autopilot users to non-autopilot users of similar demographics, and have all crashes recorded, not just fatalities, to get close to a comparative samples.
I would argue it probably only needs to last longer than a news cycle.
I don't know if the exploitation will be fast enough to make a huge difference, at least for the time being. It being so difficult to get to it gives other leading countries, namely China, to re-think their exploitation and sale of these materials. They could find a way to stabilize the supply side market with this extra time. Especially since so much of the manufacturing using these materials is done in their country. Still though, I agree this new supply should change buying and manufacturing behavior.
I remember the 16-bit "real mode" assembly of Intel's 286 CPU very well.

Welcome Redditors!
I wonder how much of this is due to just looking for it. From the article they were forced to seek other sources after a trade dispute, and were able to find plenty on the seafloor. Is that luck, or an indication of how readily available these metals are on the sea floor?

I know other companies/countries are looking for sea floor deposits, but I don't think we've reached the point where it makes economic sense to mine there yet.
In most countries companies directly paying politicians is seen as corruption.
I agree with you in general, but I think it's worth pointing out that programming the NES's PPU is actually very similar to programming with a 2D graphics library today.

NES games never wrote their own scrolling logic, or there own graphics logic. They wrote tile values into a background table and then told the NES how much to scroll the playing field, and the NES rendered and scrolled everything automagically.

NES games never drew their own sprites. They just said "Hey NES, write the sprite at this x and y location" and the NES did it.

Audio worked the same way.

Honestly, coding for the NES would be similar to working with a simple 2D graphics library. So I don't know if it would be accurate to say "every line of code is yours" on the NES. It's more just that the "libraries" used were implemented in hardware instead of software.
Is there any problem in using this in applications that verify the code signature?
Thanks. None of the creator functions take the handles needed, which is contrary to capability security. This leaves the system vulnerable to DoS attacks at the very least.
Yes, automatic UI generation is something we've been doing with EdgeDB for years in our products. Having a uniform object data model and introspection makes it easy to automatically generated complex nested forms and grids. We'll likely build a React microframework to generate UIs for EdgeDB at some point after beta release.
The long bar (beneath the upvote/downvote buttons) that shows what level the current comment is at collapses comments by clicking it. Very unintuitive, and I only found it by accident.
Great and interesting comments anyway.

As much I would call me a white hat, I guess most of us have done we're not proud of in the past.

I for one used to work a very short time at a small dating portal that used like any available way to get users to pay.

Is the find actually cheaper to extract than current resources, though? This may act more as a thing to ramp up if supply shocks drive up prices.
>Mad Max was anarcho-capitalism reaching its logical conclusion, a monopoly with a financed militia.

Authoritarianism comes in many stripes. Capitalism can be authoritarian, but forced socialism always is.

Emergent systems exist all over the place. The very language we're using right now to communicate is an emergent system. There is not a central authority which dictates how we must converse, and yet here we are.

>Just say you want libertarian minimal government and we'd have saved 10 minutes of our lives instead of vague platitudes.

I didn't try to give you a platitude. You wanted me to define what is best for everyone and I tried to show you that your question implies that authoritarianism is best. I disagree with your implication.
I agree. Taxpayers should see a return for their welfare investment. The problem is, like in prisons, we now view manual labor as a cruel and unusual punishment yet this is the type of work we need the most in the US (rebuilding infrastructure)
> Why not discuss how many accidents could have been caused by Autopilot if the driver did not correct it.

It's hard to gather statistics about thing like that because it just look like a normal drive unless the driver records the near miss which is unusual unless they're driving with a dashcam or have had something happen in the same place multiple times.
Backwards compatibility is a very tangible benefit in the long term.
By the time Japan is able to extract and use that supply the trade war with China would be long over or one would hope so. The supply is several kilometers down. One would have to build a rig and then find a way to efficiently pump that material back up in large enough quantities for commercial usage (i.e. cheap enough to compete with China's supply)

It depends on your country’s politics of course. What level of care do you want to be publicly funded? I have my doubts that the price can remain this low even if the nonprofit controls the IP. If that IP changes ownership or if the nonprofit prices the drug closer to the market value it will likely change. Edit: Also, the price cannot be contained on the fair market unless competitors who can produce the drug are allowed to exist.
I do understand that, and that may be the case, but I don't think it will surprise anyone if there's a piece of nodejs somewhere handling something it shouldn't have, because someone just needed to ship.
