OK, this is a very good answer- thanks for taking the time.

I'm too exhausted (health issues) to reply in as much detail as your comment deserves, but here's the best I can do.

>> 4.) So basically, driverless cars will only find a routine place on the road if and when they have sufficiently fewer fatalities than human driving. My assertion was a bit tautological in this respect, but basically, if they're anywhere near as dangerous as human drivers, then they won't be a thing at all.

Or at least it won't be morally justifiable for them to be a thing at all, unless they're sufficiently safer than humans- whatever "sufficently" is going to mean (which we can't really know; as you say that has to do with public perception and the whims of a fickle press).

I initially took your assertion to mean that self-driving AI will inevitably get to a point where it can be "sufficiently" safer than humans. Your point (2.) above confirms this. I don't think you're wrong, there's no reason to doubt that computers will, one day, be as good as humans at the things that humans are good at.

On the other hand I really don't see this happening any time soon- not in my lifetime and most likely not in the next two or three human generations. It's certainly hard to see how we can go from the AI we have now to AI with human-level intelligence. Despite the successes of statistical machine learning and deep neural nets, their models are extremely specific and the tasks they can perform too restricted to resemble anything like general intelligence. Perhaps we could somehow combine multiple models into some kind of coherent agent with a broader range of aptitudes, but there is very little research in that direction. The hype is great, but the technology is still primitive.

But of course, that's still speculative- maybe something big will happen tomorrow and we'll all watch in awe as we enter a new era of AI research. Probably not, but who knows.

So the question is- where does this leave the efforts of the industry to, well, sell self-driving tech, in the right here and the right now? When you said self-driving cars will almost certainly be safer than humans- you didn't put a date on that. Others in the industry are trying to sell their self-driving tech as safer than humans right now, or in "a few years", "by 2021" and so on. See Elon Musk's claims that Autopilot is safer than human drivers already.

So my concern is that assertions about the safety of self-driving cars by industry players are basically trying to create a climate of acceptance of the technology in the present or near future, before it is even as safe as humans, let alone safer (or "sufficiently" so). If the press and public opinion are irrational, their irrationality can just as well mean that self-driving technology is accepted when it's still far too dangerous. Rather than setting the bar too high and demanding an extreme standard of safety, things can go the other way and we can end up with a diminished standard instead.

Note I'm not saying that is what you were trying to do with your statement about almost certainty etc. Kind of just explaining where I come from, here.
I would be extremely interested to read the results.
I just like being explicit about which files end up in the build. It's a form of sandboxing, however limited and imperfect. (Build tools could go further to provide a more comprehensive sandbox, but meanwhile I have stuff to do and so I have to work with what's available.)

As well as automatically finding files to compile, if people working in other languages also want things downloaded during the build, dependencies automatically discovered, prebuilt dependencies retrieved, and so on, then good for them. But this is not stuff I want, and indeed I try to actively avoid it, to the extent feasible in the time available. (I typically try to ensure that all dependencies are built from source as part of the build, and that the source for each is included in the repo. This is usually fairly straightforward, and goes a long way towards eliminating annoying discrepancies between builds made on different computers.)

Anyway, this is not a moral question, and you must do what you want. These opinions are based on my experience, and if yours was different, I'm sure you had more fun. My point was just that if everybody feels like I do, then this might explain why CMake works the way it does, rather than some other way.
Isn't this exactly the information that a User Story, as used in Agile, is supposed to capture?
Really depends on the tool and your use. My experience with the 18V impact driver is that it needs a top off every few hours, but that's a good time to take a break anyhow. However the Sawzall and chop saw will chew through the biggest batteries in minutes. Fortunately they charge quickly though they are rather expensive. I think they are on par with the Dewalt stuff though I like the Makita tools a bit more. I guess if my jobs were any bigger I'd be using pneumatic tools so I can deal with recharging between tasks.

I've been in plenty of job sites with limited power and heat, and a fresh cup of coffee would be much appreciated. Sometimes you can't make it down to the lunch truck!

> You may find Visitor pattern use only in a few Java-related compiler textbook

The Java standard library uses ASM heavily for it’s method handle JIT compiler implementation, which is all visitor based. As does the Scala compiler. ASM is extremely widespread for anyone doing jvm bytecode work and isn’t exactly something you find only in textbooks

> Maybe with a good GC it will cost almost nothing for us to build another tree in terms of speed

Not sure what environment you work in, but converting uPickle to a visitor-based architecture from recursive transformation sped it up 3x on the JVM and 10x on Node.js. I’d love to have a GC that could elide the intermediate trees but the GCs I have aren’t up to snuff
You’re right. QuickBASIC was replaced with VisualBASIC for Applications (vba), v1.0 was for MS-DOS
There are inline caches (IC) and JVM uses that to a point. The inline caching for hotspot is 2 targets with guard checks[0] and then a polymorphic call. However if there are no dominating/common calls the IC is useless.

On top of that JVM has an inline budget and just stops at a point. So the switch stuff ain't happening for megamorph.

Technically all of your data needs to be cached. He used a 600gB data set because with compression it fits on the 475 GB local drive.

If he’s looking for performance what he should do is turn off fsync, write to the local NVMe, enable write caching, and copy the innodb WAL to S3.

Who looks for performance & reliability and then thinks I know I’ll use EBS, so all my data is unavailable once every year or two and in the meantime I’ll pay exorbitant prices for low IOPS and 3x latency.
Well, point cloud renderers are a real thing. There are open source libraries that let you explore millions of points in your browser: http://potree.org/. I even saw a demo (http://nurulize.com/) showcasing animations but I think the main problem with point clouds is that there is no good solution for physics/lighting yet.

Haeckel wasn't that into rendering his little ensembles to scale, AFAIK. The ones in the corners look like mites, which would mean that picture represents at least two or three orders of magnitude in size variation. But really, the scalar variable of size seems more significant than all the spikes and hairs and scales and whatnot?

This is delusional. And to be honest I thought I need the same deep and in the zone kind of work/situation. Until I took this Course which is based on real science: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

You can get stuff done, learn very sophisticated topics on a highly distractive environment (though you'll probably need short periods of concentrations here and there).

The trick is not to force yourself to work on something, close doors and stop calling anyone. The tricks is simple boring repetition, zooming in and out of complexity of the subject, occasionally jumping through chapters.

You can do it in multiple ways. Say you are learning Crypto. You can be reading a book at home, doing an Online course at school, reading HN related crypto topics while on transportation, coding on some lang/crypto library while on Starbucks, etc... and achieve great levels of mastery.

And boring repetition/testing is the most important here. If you are interested on why this works, check the course.

There is a broader issue with web sites that incorporate external content that I haven't yet seen addressed.

The moment you load a resource on your page from an external source, you lose almost all control of what the operator of that external source does with any personal data that your visitor's browser sends to them, any cookies it sends with its reply, or what it does more generally in the case of executable resources.

Given that modern web sites routinely incorporate external assets for a multitude of reasons, has anyone ever found any official, authoritative guidance on who is the data controller or data processor in such cases, how they are expected to meet any obligations they have in terms of transparency and obtaining consent, or the related question of who is responsible for giving notifications or obtaining consent if required under the "cookie law"?

It should be illegal to not allow you to cancel a paid subscriptions through the same means you started it.

High taxes can narrow the gap between lower and middle classes. However, some upper classes will remain because they can pay experts to manage their tax planning. Finland is known for being a high-tax, egalitarian society, but Finnish celebrities are regularly criticized for keeping their wealth outside the country in a low-tax jurisdiction. And within Europe there are a number of law offices which exist solely to help Europeans establish citizenship and tax residency in Malta or the Caribbean islands.

I'd be very wary of anything the English media (or in general any WASP-oriented ones) have to say about this person.

- He is associated with the Sangh Parivar.

- Advocates for nativism of very anarchist character.

- Asks (and takes out ads) not to support multi-national companies (tidbit: East India Companies led to India's industrial ruination)

- He is massively popular, for having taken Yoga to the masses, and poses a threat to the geopolitically loaded "harvesting" efforts by Xtian missionaries (see Africa for comparison).

People who have done one or the other of the above have been targeted by journalists in India (Sadhguru, Kanchi Jeeyar, Nithyananda...), often with planted stories, and with backing by 'neutral' NGOs, or 'secular' state apparatus etc.

In short, what is not mentioned in the article is that, he has no shortage of enemies.

Personally, their products are often much much better (esp. the tooth paste & instant noodles), and often at a fraction of the cost of Unilever's brands.

It seems pretty clear that the intent is for this to cover the current linking/snippeting practices. If it wasn't covered, there is no chance of this law providing publishers a new revenue stream.

And what are those current practices? On Google News it appears to literally be just the title and maybe a tiny thumbnail image. On search it's those plus less than a sentence of text. It's pretty hard to see the intent here as not covering even just a link that uses the original title.

Links that can't even use the original title would be totally nonviable, they might as well not exist. And again, this proposal would disallow even an opt-in arrangement.

> The quality of your work and the value of your work have nothing to do with anything. All those years that Google told us that if you wanted to be heard, just publish good content. It was bullshit. Humans don't work that way. We are a social species and we consume based on social cues.

People believe what they want to believe, and I think you've already made up your mind. From my view, however, you are just going to limit your success with such beliefs, and worse, the cynicism will drain your enthusiasm and energy.

If you want to be heard, the answer is simple: make something that's interesting to people. I know a ton of very talented chiptune artists who are struggling. Why? Well, would you buy a chiptune album? People spend too much time in their own private universes and forget what other people are looking for. I'm not saying you shouldn't make chiptune or mathcore or whatever, but you have to be realistic about it, especially if you want to make money.

And look, I'll be honest -- not trying to be mean here, really -- but I'm not at all surprised your book isn't generating interest. My first reaction to "Info-Ops" is that it's super dry and technical, not to mention I have no idea what it means. So right off the bat I have a bad gut reaction. Did you not get any second opinions about this title? And $40 for an e-book... well, I admittedly don't know anything about pricing books, but if an e-book is too expensive then people will just pirate it, no?

This is totally irrelevant, because the governance model of a a company is a limited dictatorship, and not all those people are equal. A company is only the people at its top, the rest are chattel.

A company is also not made of people in the legal sense, it is a separate entity.

Clickbait is among the more innocent explanations. Reporters who dutifully parrot what the TLAs tell them get more opportunities to do so.

OP poses a good question and I don't think it's a simple case of GC vs. no GC. In Nim's case it might have something to do with not using the C int types (PR already open to fix this: https://github.com/dyu/ffi-overhead/pull/6)
Alternative packaging toolchains can use pyproject.toml that way; it's an extensible file.

But you've caught on to the key thing, which is that neither they, nor the default setuptools-based toolchain, have to do that. The pyproject.toml file exists to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of specifying that you use an alternative toolchain, when figuring that out might otherwise be dependent on your preferred toolchain already being present and configured.

It's hard to asses a generic ratio, since the performance increase is wildly variable. I think it can be reasonably assessed a "base" 3x performance ratio against the RPi 3B (with an outlier of 8x).
There are various ways to cheat the rocket equation that weren't possible during Apollo because of our level of technology, and to some extent the constraints of a mission where a substantial portion of the energy is consumed getting to LEO. I don't want to suggest I know how to build an interplanetary spaceship accelerator, but here are some common basic ideas

- Accelerate the ship be pointing lasers (or something that accelerates matter) at it from the launch point. Now one doesn't need to carry fuel and the rocket equation no longer applies.

- Use some form of ion engine where we accelerate particles to very high speed relative to chemical rockets. This makes the rocket equation very tame since so little of the mass (relatively speaking) is in propellant.

- Combine the above ion engine with some form of "ramjet" that takes hydrogen we collide with and turns it into fuel. This makes the rocket equation irrelevant since we don't carry our fuel (to the extent that we can get our fuel via the ramjet anyways).

Also as laumars says the 0.1% of annual energy usage was just a point of comparison because terwatts is such a foreign unit to most of us (including me) that it doesn't mean anything by itself.
So USB-C isn’t the only standard that requires cables to do something non-obvious to avoid subtle breakage.

Damn it, spec designers, stop screwing this up. In DP’s case, it sounds like it would have been straightforward to require ports to put a diode on pin 20.

JS isn't "untyped", it's dynamically typed. And this is absolutely not a problem at scale if your development practices are up to scratch - or at least, not a bigger problem than the myriad of other design tradeoffs that every major language has to deal with.

Static typing is massively overvalued. It has non-zero value, but it's a tradeoff with other things, and the amount of importance that people tend to place on it is absolutely out of proportion with the actual value it provides.

EDIT: This extends beyond just 'static typing', as well. The design of programming languages is an exercise in tradeoffs, and people rarely take the time to understand the tradeoffs introduced by their pet language feature, instead presenting it as some inherently ideal thing where any language that doesn't have it must therefore be bad.

Baba Ramdev, chose to take Indian traditions back to the Indian people.
