>Maybe we've seen "peak Free Software"

I think this is definitely true. So much stuff has move to "the cloud" or web services, and honestly, open-source software was a lot more interesting and fun, and seemed to be on more of an upward trajectory, back in the early/mid 2000s. Now Linux on the desktop seems to be something that'll never be reality for regular people and the main open-source thing that seems to be hot is stuff like Docker and Kubernetes, stuff used in enterprise scenarios, while on the desktop everyone's just given up and decided to live with Windows 10 and its spyware or Macbooks and their overly-thin keyboards and buggy OS.

The primary difference between Rust & D is that Rust is directly challenging C++'s bread & butter, which nobody else is really doing.

Go's combination of M:N threading & GC make it more of a challenger to Node.js than C++, they are really in fairly different universes. D also bets on the GC, which also makes it unsuitable for a chunk of C++'s users and the interfacing with existing C/C++ code gets messy with the GC lurking in the shadows (it is somewhat terrifying that GC.addRoot() not only exists but that you're supposed to use it)

Rust's excitement is a result of directly challenging C++ in the non-GC language space along with things like attempting to make multi-threaded race conditions a compiler error (which is technically awesome and something nobody else is doing)

I thought this was going to be referring to coffee grounds: they make a great compostable or soil amendment, and somewhat acidic so can be used to balance soil pH for crops like blueberries.

I think he meant that sarcastically. PostgreSQL is free, aside from support costs, while Oracle has a license fee. But they're "saving" money because they negotiated a "cheaper" license fee.

This like like how it's more economical for me to buy a top-end $100k Mercedes if I can negotiate a $10k savings off of MSRP, rather than a low-end $17k Toyota where I can only negotiate $500 off of the MSRP. See, with the Mercedes S-class, I'm saving $10k!!! I wouldn't save $10k with the Toyota... \s

What happens at the cellular and molecular level is really not so different from what happens in human societies.

I am not quite sure to what extent you mean this. I would add that the bottle neck on evolutionary futures for our genes imposed by our reproductive system is very strong, and that there is no obvious analogy in societies. The existence of such a strong bottleneck of course shifts the game theoretical dynamics of cooperation and defection, strongly enabling cooperation between somatic cells (as you say, with cancer as an exception).

>If that system could co-opt camera feeds instead of human attention, we could get most (all?) of the benefits of the existing Amber Alert without having to burn civilian resources on it. Wouldn't that be a strict improvement over the current system?

In my area amber alerts are usually along the lines of "the non custodial parent has the child when he shouldn't". Reducing the resource cost of (and therefore threshold to utilize) that system or similar systems is not something I can get behind.

Finding and bothering specific people should be something that scales poorly enough that all the government organizations that engage in it are forced to pick and choose who they do it to. A low threshold is an invitation for abuse.

Edit: and I'm wrong because why?
I'm not sure I follow because your home security system, correct me, is only near your home, not connected to millions of people collectively that are mechanical turked unwillingly. Them apples aren't oranges.
Should we install security cameras in public toilets? It would certainly reduce crimes such as assaults that occur in public toilets. There would be very little impact on our personal security.

Privacy is an fundamental aspect of our quality of life. Privacy is not of secondary importance to security but exists alongside it. If that were not so, then there are plenty of places we could be putting surveillance cameras in order to improve our security.
> Do you think it matters that they were in-person?

yes.

It's an important point, if you're interested in having an instrument of the highest quality.

A modern vase in the Ming style can be of comparable or superior quality to a genuine Ming of known provenance, and will of course be much less expensive.

> there are higher RPMs and more power being transmitted through the partially-engaged flywheel and clutch during some of the other shifts.

I'd argue that, if that's the case, one isn't doing it right. Ideally, there is zero RPMs difference during disengagement and engagement during routine gear shifting.

One doesn't even need the clutch, if one is good enough at rev-matching. I expect the risk of damaging a gear or synchro makes this a bad idea in general practice, but it can help get a clutch that no longer fully disengages to a mechanic without a tow-truck, something important in my younger/poorer days.

Sort of, they actually do rolling updates so that a new version of the code does not affect the whole user base at once. So again, reducing the cost of incorrect software. But it does happen, the VW emission scandal was effectively incorrect code. Noone predicted the 22 billion dollar defect, but due to re-use of components, it is possible.

Long Tail events is a big problem in software and a few lines of code are responsible for a large part of the costs (for a longer version of this answer https://possumlabs.com/the-cost-of-software-bugs-5-powerful-...).
Our team was just a general machine learning team with no expertise in compliance issues, and only one or two of us had experience in face detection. We only cared about providing a web service that gave good face detection performance (the downstream consumer was the team that had to then take the face detection output and do business logic with it for compliance).

> amazon has the resources to scale this to thousands of RPS

Actually, this part is mostly straight forward. Not easy, but straight forward, and Amazon already has this part solved for most things. Our ML team did have expertise in making very large-scale services (our company operated a large ecommerce web store, so our traffic was actually very high, top 500 Alexa rank), but our concern over Amazon had nothing to do with whether it could handle enough requests per second.

But this also misses the point. The latency for a single request was too poor for a variety of natural images (crowd scenes, public streets, etc., -- exactly the types of images relevant for many surveillance applications). It was not a throughput issue, I guess unless you expect consumer teams to do something like chopping images up into sub-images, replacing one Rekognition request with a bunch of sub-image requests, and then post-processing to stitch the results together and account for error introduced by the choice of where to split the original image. Yikes.

It's not an issue of "scaling it up" -- it's an issue that the fundamental machine learning algorithm underpinning it suffered too high latency, likely because it was a deep neural network combined with a bunch of post-processing gadgets that are conceptually not good enough for bespoke use cases -- things which engineers on a centralized platform have little incentive to care about.

The real question is whether Amazon has incentives to make this part better, and if so, how? Will a general one-size-fits-all face detector work for customers? Or will they need application-by-application customer-specific tailored models (and if so, why aren't customers savvy enough to realize that the all-in costs to build and operate it in-house are so demonstrably cheaper than Amazon, and might be the only way to meet specific performance goals)?

I hear this so often, that Amazon can "just scale it up" -- but I think if you really work in face detection and have studied the problem deeply, you know this is not right. There's a whole different bucket of problems and issues and cost-effectiveness trade-offs going on.

Would be interesting to see how a real estate market would develop on a planet like this. My guess:

- Side of planet closest to sun would be great for solar, agriculture.

- Equator would be great for retail, recreation - constant sunset makes everything look beautiful.

- Just further than the equator might be an idea place for housing - it's always dark, but short commute to light.

- Further away from the equator would be cold, which could be useful for heavy industry (particularly exothermic processes)

I wonder how a society's 'clock' would work without the day/night cycle. Would people coalesce around a certain common "day" cycle or would everyone be on different schedules so society operates in shifts?

Same here, but instead of getting in bed with microsoft I've moved to using FLOSS components.
This is essentially just swapping out one perceived bad egg for other bad eggs. Microsoft is no better when it comes to privacy concerns.
And they use that as an argument against any increase which is completely insane.
I see what you mean, but I think the problem is kind of self-referential: Uber has this value (as a ride-sharing company) because the bulls believe that it sometimes will be highly profitable and can defend it's position. If Tesla can take on Uber, Uber did not defend it's position, and much of that value will go away. Not sure there would be 10s of billions left. How many people are there that Tesla could defend it's position in that market, if uber couldn't against Tesla?

Or in other words: Those people who value Tesla higher because of their ride-share potential, should at the same time rate Uber lower.

It's not the same thing as a false positive by an eye witness. Eye witness testimony is well known to be prone to false memories. Hence there needs to be corroborating evidence. I think people are too readily willing to accept a technological identification. I can see a claim being made that the computer is wrong only once in a billion cases without proper justification. There are people today who still think lie detectors are reliable.

I can see a time where the presumption of guilt is assumed simply because the technology says so. Clearly we are not there yet and possibly never will be. I hope that issues will be sorted out before the technology gains widespread use.
So you are only person that did not read Steve Jobs biography yet?

I was also trying to skip it because everyone seems to be reading it. After couple pages it sucked me in and I was reading it until last page really interested, so Walter Isaacson wrote it well.

Is that really going to be competitive against Panasonic, LG, or Samsung? All of those are in countries with better access to Lithium and cheaper engineering resources? I'd bet on those guys producing way more batteries.
The big news is a standardized API to do realtime raytracing. Both of those are a big deal because as you said everyone until now wrote their own and had to overcome the challenges associated with that. If that's taken care of (for the most part), the only things left to write as a developer are how you want to use this feature. In TFA, it's using it to do realtime raytraced reflections where previous techniques to do that in realtime are too much of an approximation and have big drawbacks.
You haven't shown that (successful) rehab costs less.

Why Trusting Twitter Is Hard for Developers
I once built a Reddit clone and used recursive ctes for the comment trees. Imagine each comment has a parent comment foreign key which might be null if at top level. If you use a recursive cte you can simply start with top level comments with null parents and recursively get all of the subtrees and end up with a nice flat list of all your comments in the order you want. The other way to do this is to just fetch all the comments and assemble the tree in memory and then flatten it, which is what I believe many sites do.

I just built this website auditing tool
I'm a web developer and just built a website auditing tool to help with building a better website. It runs Google Lighthouse behind the scene but I added some features to make it easy to audit and track progress over period of time. You can create teams and audit/track multiple websites from a single dashboard. I plan to add more audit categories in future including security and advanced SEO. Just wanted to share with the tech community. Please feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any feedback or questions - my email is seong@lnidigital.com. You can use BETA15OFF to upgrade your plan to manage up to 5 websites.
Yes, I'm enrolled in the beta and the advertised features for wellbeing are not there. But it's ok anyways cus I have grayscale full time on my phone.

It seems to me that overpopulation is presently a reality. As far as I can tell there are way too many humans given our level of consumption.
