Why do I keep seeing this style of comment on HN lately? Someone expresses an opinion about software architecture and someone begins their response “obviously you have zero experience working in this domain...”

It’s such an insulting way to start a conversation. And quite often a false assertion.

If nothing else, this may bring a new legion of younger fans to the old "Max Headroom" British TV show. I enjoyed the show in my younger days.

That's inaccurate.

Many marine autopilots integrate with AIS, sonar, and charts for accident avoidance and alerts. For example on some larger ships it is able to calculate if at the current speed a collision would occur and reduce speed to avoid it. Some can do "port to port" auto-steer, taking the vesicle through narrow channels.
I wonder if there would be incentive for game development studios to use Guilded?

I can imagine studios like Riot, Blizzard, or Epic signing up for a 'Studio' account. Part of what comes with that role is the ability to add their own games. So now you have a trusted source that could reliably do the game addition work for you.

The incentive for them is a great opportunity to interact with their user base and help foster a tight-knit community. I haven't thought about the details too much but seems like an interesting idea.

Im interesting in what your thoughts would be around that idea?
tesla's already detect people not having the hands on the wheel, for starters. then you can fairly easily see where the eyes are looking and I guess with some more effort if the eyes are engaged or wandering.

> Taking access to a clock or sleep mechanism away doesn't stop the bad guys but makes common programmers lives much more difficult.

You don't take it away, you reify the clock as a capability/handle. This has two benefits:

1. Those vulnerabilities have shown that you can mount timing attacks even without a clock, but a clock amplifies the timing attacks you can mount. For instance, there remain attacks with a clock even if Spectre and Meltdown and related vulnerabilities are fixed.

2. There are software engineering benefits. For instance, in principle you can replace the clock handle with a proxy that you can use to provide your own times. This helps considerably with testing, deterministic replay, etc.

Boy, could you imagine what things would be like if the aviation industry reacted this way? Airline automation has played a huge role in so many major disasters, and only through careful reflection has the measured and careful use of automation lead to ever-better outcomes for air travel safety.
This is a great idea. Improve latency without affecting throughput (much).
Thank you for sharing this, haven't seen this before. Pretty interesting.
Sorting you can do -- the function takes indices. And no, I've never wanted to call .map() -- I love writing for loops over and over, it feels really productive.
Senator: If somebody advertises on facebook and somebody purchases something. Does facebook get a percentage or any kind of fee associated with any kind of successful purchase from the advertiser.

Zuckerberg: The way that the system works is advertisers bid how much it's worth it to them to show an ad or when an action happens. So, it's not that we would get a percentage of the sale but... let's just use an example. Lets say you're an app developer and your goal is you want to get more people to install your app. You could bid in the ad system and say that I will pay $3 anytime someone installs this app and then we basically calculate, on our side, which ads are going to be relevant for people and we have an incentive to show people ads that are going to be relevant because we only get paid when it delivers a business result and that's how the system works.
are you suggesting that the number of tourists and landlords combined is more than the number of people that disagree with housing units existing as permanent airbnb listings?
Plenty of people die right now because they just got a text or they had no other way home from the bar, etc.

The human toll is absolutely relevant to the conversation: this is about people dying now and in the future. It seems cruel to discuss it in a "I'll sacrifice X to save Y" later, but it can reasonably be reduced to that.

I think it's safe to assume that this will drastically reduce driving related injuries and deaths.
Did Go start as an official Google project? It always seemed like more of a side project that happened to be developed by Google engineers.
"We know that he's not the type who would not have his hands on the steering wheel, he's always been (a) really careful driver," said Will.

Isn’t it obvious he didn’t have his hands on the wheel?!? If he did he would have corrected the car.

I’m not saying Tesla or the driver are to blame. I know very little about this incident cos I haven’t followed it. But can’t say he always has his hands on the wheel when they’d clearly not the case.

Likewise everyone says he apparently reported it to Tesla 7-10 times? But he still felt the need to not pay attention on this particular stretch of road he was worried about?
The best part of this is the simple fact that they're helping the students understand why the formula is what it is, and not just learning it by rote.

This is exactly what we built Topicbox for!

https://www.topicbox.com/

Because large amounts of knowledge are locked away in individual emails, having a central storage repository with good search and easy control over the flood of information makes it possible to find the knowledge in-context later.
In fairness that detail isn't preserved in the other formats either. The new issue is merely the illusion of accuracy.
Here is the messy situation: maybe this system is better at avoiding accidents than 40% of the people 99.999% of the time.

The best thing is to build a system to analyze your driving and figure out if you are in that 40% of people and then let it drive for you. Maybe drunk drivers, for example. It can do this per ride: “oh you’re driving recklessly, do you want me to take over?”

EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULD BE A STRICT IMPROVEMENT. Taking over driving and letting people stop paying attention is not a strict improvement.

The argument should NOT be about playing with people’s lives now so im the future some people can have a better system. That’s a ridiculous argument. Instead WHY DON’T THE COMPANIES COLLABORATE ON OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE AND RESEARCH TO ALL BUILD ON EACH OTHER’S WORK? Capitalism and “intellectual property”, that’s why. In this case, a gift economy like SCIENCE or OPEN SOURCE is far far superior at saving lives. But we are so used to profit driven businesses, it’s not likely they will take such an approach to it.

What we have instead is companies like Waymo suing Uber and Uber having deadly accidents.

And what we SHOULD have is if an incremental improvement makes things safer, every car maker should be able to adopt it. There should be open source shops for this stuff like Linux that enjoy huge defensive patent portfolios.

Ain’t gonna happen I’m afraid.
There was a 3d engine a while back, focused on collision and pathing, which used 32-bit fixed point values for everything, citing this problem. If you divide out your game world size by the resolution a 32-bit number offers, it ends up being very practical. However, I don't know how overflow was handled for intermediates, if there was "enough" buffer around the outside of the world or if the math just worked out.

Certainly 64-bit fixed point would be "sufficient".
My commiserations
> It's amazing at keeping me in my lane when I'm fiddling with my podcast feed though.

That's exactly what the tesla driver must have thought too. Right until the auto pilot steered directly into a barrier. Volvo S's system may be better, but any lapse in attention can lead to the type of crash we are discussing about.
What makes you say that Burnaby is a deadzone? Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed all seem to be growing like crazy. I moved to Toronto a few years ago and I'm find myself surprised by new buildings every time I go back.

> Is there a way that these could mediated by a capability without having to incur syscall overhead?

Is that even warranted? What applications can you imagine would make so many clock calls so as to incur noticeable overhead?

Your example of logging costs might work, but I'm very skeptical that user/kernel transition costs for a clock call would drown out the costs of writing the log entry to disk.

But to answer your question directly, the ability to access the clock in a shared memory segment can itself be reified as a handle that's granted to a process. The process would then issue a map operation and provide an address at which to map the clock (or you could just always map it at the same address too if that's preferable for some reason).
the ones I've encountered have been.

They're damned docile and friendly beasts... if not terribly pretty or fragrant.
From the outside, it would appear that AppSync's main goal is to provide a realtime data/sync solution, and that their choice to use GraphQL was likely a design decision rather than the entire reason for AppSync's existence.

Of course, I say this as an outsider, not familiar with the details of the project, and having only read what's on the AppSync website. If AppSync really does exist solely to deliver GraphQL to the world, hopefully you can understand how this might not be apparent to other HN commentors.

Anyway just trying to explain how there could be confusion, after reading a bunch of the comments on here.

It seems like you're suggesting that anonymity is not possible with Ethereum, but searches suggests that it's possible now, and will become easier thanks to projects like Project Alchemy. (I don't know much about Ethereum, though, so I'd love to hear your thoughts!)
It isn’t crazy to ask that, but I think it is crazy to view failing to create two pages as an intentional attempt to deceive or as something that absolves drivers of their own responsibilities.

Well, not without paying them cash money that they don't have. I can't imagine anyone taking an equity-heavy compensation package.
>> I don't think you can take any person and teach them to think through problems logically.

That's actually the whole point of scientific training: teaching people to use the tools of science, including thinking logically and avoiding sources of bias and so on.

If you want to go back into antiquity, the ancient Greeks who started the whole Logic thing, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle et al, they never presented logic as some kind of innate ability of human beings, rather they set out to teach it as an instrument of thought that was far from innate. Because if it was innate, it wouldn't need all that work they put into it.
> For example, there are lots of places you might need a linked list structure, where the nodes store different types.

Sure, but linked lists have solutions already using simple macros [1]. There aren't many sophisticated kernel data structures, mainly tables for indexing and linked lists, all of which have simple expressions as macros. Templates perhaps make this a little easier, but are overkill.

If you think MB and learning styles are bad, multiple intelligences is worse. There isn't even a test for that, so it's nothing but self-judging and the definitions are all inspirations coming from the head of one individual (Gardener). That's really one made for the "everyone's good at something" false self-esteem philosophy. The irony is that it turns out mental ability is positively correlated among many areas.

I think this is the critical factor.

In the videos from others, the autopilot begins to move with the lane, but then crosses over into the barrier as it approaches. There's no way to anticipate that this is going to happen by simply looking ahead of you. There are no warning signs that something strange is about to occur. By the time you've processed that something is happening, it's well underway.

If you were to simulate this, I wonder how many people would be able to properly react? I think this would be an interesting experiment; sit people in driving simulators and have them drive around for 30 minutes or something and randomly introduce this. Even in the context of an experiment where people are likely to be more attentive due to the novelty of the experience, I'd expect to see quite slow reactions with fairly high frequency.
The system does work in civilized societies, though. Getting a couple hundred euro fine for improper sorting fixes the issue really fast.

Clock access via a handle has other uses beyond security. For instance, you could use it for deterministic replay of a process.

The point being, any abilities that aren't reified as explicit handles are ambient in the environment, and so make isolation and virtualization harder. Consider how you would virtualize the clock now that it's part of the process's implicit environment instead of an invocation made via a handle.

You have to make a compromise somewhere, either with skilled people or tooling.

Refactoring isn't always the right decision, a good boss/lead needs to carefully weigh the pros & cons.

There is always some risk that refactoring makes code not only different, but worse. Corner-cases are often there for a reason, and refactoring sometimes misses them, especially when there isn't complete unit test coverage. Since it's often easier to get the core logic right, this likely leads to issues that are discovered in production.

Specific failures are again meaningless. Computers don't fail the way people do, on the other hand people also regularly fall asleep at the wheel and do similar dumb things.

And really, driving conditions are responsible for a relatively small percentage of vehicle fatalities. Most often it's people doing really dumb things like driving 100+ MPH.

The only thing we actually know is these cars are safer on average than similar cars without these systems. That's not looking at how much they are used, just the existence of said safety system and likely relates to them being used when the drivers are extremely drunk or tired which are both extremely dangerous independent of weather conditions.
Well, not to his face at least.

Do you have to use the single license edition and buy one for each OS or are you forced to use the cloud instance if you get the subscription?
The solution to housing being used as an investment is to build so much housing supply that this investment becomes worthless.

Why SHOULDN'T we just let the Chinese build a bunch of empty buildings? It's their money and if they want to waste it building us cheap housing on an investment that will eventually go bust, I say we let them.

The solution is scorched earth, "LOL, you thought your investment was going to go up, but instead we built such a ridiculous amount of housing that houses are now free for everyone".

Xen has far too much in-kernel code to be considered an exokernel. Linux on L4 had even less overhead than paravirtualized Xen. If exokernels truly efficiently multiplex the hardware in the most minimal manner possible, this wouldn't be possible.

I'd be curious to see how different levels of quantization affect the image. From the paper it looks like the quantization is applied at the latent feature space. I wonder if it has similar effects like the celebrity GAN's we have seen where interpolating in the latent space results in morphing from one face to another. Could be funny when compression doesn't result in something blocky or distorted, but replacing objects with other objects that look similar to them.

This seems to be for static images, but this gets me wondering if an RNN can be used and have better motion prediction that other current "hard coded" solutions.

Also, the more specific the domain, the better the compression, since it can specialize. I'm wondering about the practical applications of this. Do we have different baselines that can be used for different use cases?
