> Humans are generally quite poor at responding to unexpected behavior changes such as this.

I know what you mean, once you truly start to trust someone else to do a job you simply stop giving it any attention. It's being handled. So you maybe hover a bit at first, keep an eye, generally interfere. Once that stage is over, you just do other things safe in the knowledge that someone else is competently handling the task. Until it blows up in your face.

This level of autopilot legitimately terrifies me. Not because it's bad, but because of the way it will make the humans who are supposed to still be responsible stop paying attention
It's also people who throw fits with little provocation when they don't like things, which sounds fitting to me. Seriously, the thing gets merged anyway but he has to "express himself"

While using Autopilot (Big A), there should be a loud klaxon every 30 seconds followed by a notification "CHECK ROAD CONDITIONS" and "REMAIN ENGAGED WITH DRIVING" in the same urgent tone of an aircraft autopilot (small a) warning system.

Tesla did make a mistake calling it Autopilot, but only because regular folk don't understand that aircraft autopilot is literally a heading, altitude, and speed, and will not make any correction for fault. Aircraft autopilot will fly you straight into a mountain if one happens to be in the way.
That's for sure. So one interesting question, what might happen that would lead them to care?
too much knowledge.

No, you shouldn't have to buy hardware that's 3 generations behind to get a reliable laptop from Apple. Don't encourage that behaviour.

Better options right now:

- Lenovo X1 Carbon 6th gen

- Huawei Matebook X Pro

The latter one is a bargain at $1500 for an intel i7, Nvidia MX150 GPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD

In my opinion, it mostly comes down to whether you can live with the lack of ports.

If you often do presentations the HDMI port is going to be very useful. If you take a lot of photos, the SD card slot is a huge time saver (compared to downloading via USB, depending on camera model).

But if you only need those ports at your desk, a docking station is a fine solution. There are TB 3 docks available now that have all the ports and can charge 2017 Macbook all over a single cable, which is pretty awesome. They cost around 250€.

Sure, the 2017 model might have keyboard issues, but my 2015 model has the problem with the screen coating, and it doesn‘t connect to some Wifi hotspots, so it‘s not like it is a perfect machine either.

I know next to nothing about ML but aren't the conclusions wrong? I mean if the chances of one team are 0.7 and the other team of 0.3 the prediction is no that the former wins but that the it wins with 0.7 probability.

Also, shouldn't the probabilities be carried over to next stages of the competition? So rather then getting one winner we would get probabilities for each team winning the World Cup?

How to (and how Not to) learn REACT?
I am a licensed electrician in a few states. When the whole 2008 economy collapse thing happened a lot of us tradies went to work for Home Depot. The pay was shit but it payed the rent and helped with food.

There are actually a fair amount of skilled people working there.. Even today. But if you ask where you can find a light switch they will point you in the right direction. They won't dig deeper unless you ask.

Here is what terrified me. I started around four years after youtube. Now everyone was a electrician because wanglover76 posted a video of how to install a ceiling fan and tie it into a dimmer.

It is pretty hard to convince a person shopping at home depot that their weekend project will probably kill their children.
I sent an email to my MEPs saying exactly this; it's not technically feasible to implement this without having the media in question, so you are shifting this very steep requirement of proof from the accuser to the accused. The media companies are the accusers, they should build this database to make it easier for them to prove their case.
Conversely there were a whole bunch of times I went to Bunnings a bit hungover but needing some home supplies, and found the sausage-sizzle a blessed addition :)
Lieberman was (and is) certainly bought and sold by the insurance companies, but the lion's share of the blame for not having single payer - let alone a public option - lies squarely on Obama's shoulders. Obama's man in the Senate, Max Baucus, at Obama's direction, barred all single-payer and public option advocates from the conference rooms and negotiating table from the very beginning. Nancy Pelosi and Obama cajoled Dennis Kucinich into supporting the ACA in exchange for a promise that they would bring his single-payer bill to the floor for a vote, to at least put Congressman on the record. Obama brought Kucinich on Air Force one to make this promise. They lied. Kucinich never got his vote - Pelosi and Obama never allowed single payer to surface at all.

Lieberman is certainly worth of endless condementation, but trying to pretend Obama didn't do everything he could to kill single-payer and a public option in order to implement Romneycare is just wrong.

I thought it was abundantly clear that I know that. In context it should have been clear that I was referring to the psychological aspects of it. To the person starting a company, it will not "feel" very different from borrowing money from someone.

What you are talking about are the concrete technical differences. We have no disagreement on those.

From the perspective of a person starting a company, he has to decide how to obtain money for building the company. He can borrow or he can issue stocks. Both methods give him money. The difference is in how the risk is spread and how the benefits are spread.

The person starting a stock company can't pay profits to himself without also doing so in equal measure to other stock owners. With the bank he only has to pay the interest on the loan.

Even disregarding the issue of how "evil" is defined, there is another level of vagueness: when does one become evil, as opposed to only doing some evil? Arguably, one could do some amount of evil deeds without actually being evil.

The above is sometimes mentioned in discussion, were people point out that the motto is "don't be evil" and not "don't do evil".
In some cases it seems to be the equivalent of the Karate Kid wax on, wax off work. Work that's useless in itself, but creates desirable change in the worker.
>Google’s... won’t design or deploy AI for "weapons or other technologies whose PRINCIPAL purpose or implementation is to cause or DIRECTLY facilitate injury to people."

While I agree that in principle you can learn to code at any age, I think this article misses the entire point of every "learn to code" article. Whether it's kids, women, oldies etc etc.

Coding is a calling. You can learn anything if you have the calling for it. If you learn because you 'should' (ie, it's encouraged by others and or/money) you will end up being average at it, at best.

Coding is not for everyone, it's a pipe dream. It's not because all modern tech is based on it that you should learn it -- same way as Lewis Hamilton doesn't need to be a car mechanic to be a good driver.

I've started programming at 12yo, got my first paid gig at 16, and I haven't stopped being a 'programmer' (as they used to be called) since, and I'm now 49yo. I can't imagine NOT doing any 'coding'. In that time I saw countless average/bad programmers (and there are more and more of them) who /probably/ would have been better trying to follow a calling of their own...

As far as having a successful career as a programmer, I think there is one major trap I've seen many, many programmers fall into. And that is 'mind sclerosis' -- ie refusal to evolve with the time/tools. People who are actually quite/very good at one set of tools sometime refuse to evolve and down these favorite toys in favor of what is perceived (often, they are) as inferior replacements. Problem is, 5 years down the line, they are no longer employable. I've seen that too many times to count.

The NEXT trap is to realize that your time is limited. You can't learn everything and you have to be very, VERY selective on the set of tech you want to invest your time in. Don't bangwagon on stuff -- ask yourself whether it's likely to be a selleable skill -- if not, don't waste time on it.

The code snippet on the page looks incredibly clean and readable, exactly how I wish modern languages would look like. Too bad Algol-style syntax is no longer used that often (except for Delphi).
Hmm, "possible" was probably too strong of a word. Of course it's possible.

However, I've driven a significant number of hours in Spain, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and I wouldn't say that this kind of concrete divider is "readily available" as a normal part of a high-speed road, lacking the high-visibility markings I outlined in the post above, year after year as a normal fixture. In fact, I don't remember ever once seeing a concrete divider like this in the EU, even temporarily, but please prove me wrong (and maybe we can tell them to fix it!).

At highway speeds, lane dividers are only used when there is a lane traveling in the opposing direction right next to you. There is no point in concrete dividers if all the traffic is traveling in the same direction. At highway speeds, opposing lanes should be divided by a lot of open space and metal fences that don't kill you when you hit them.

Facebook bug in a new feature exposed private posts of 14M users
"The Paris Agreement’s inclusion of 1.5°C has catalysed fervent activity amongst many within the scientific community keen to understand what this more ambitious objective implies for mitigation. However, this activity has demonstrated little in the way of plurality of responses. Instead there remains an almost exclusive focus on how future ‘negative emissions technologies’ (NETs) may offer a beguiling and almost free “get out of jail card”. This presentation argues that such a dominant focus, evident for 2 and 1.5°C, reveals an endemic bias across much of the academic climate change community determined to voice a politically palatable framing of the mitigation landscape – almost regardless of scientific credibility."

Real science about climate change is not politically palatable, NETs represent an easy way out.

WWDC 2018: the stakes have never been higher for Apple software
I was with you until the end, but none of those functions are inherently zero-sum. Perhaps it's mostly a nit-pick, but zero-sum has a very specific meaning, and it isn't "stuff we wish we didn't have to do", which seems to be the unifying factor in those functions.
They do expect you to change that posture if Autopilot does something you think is dangerous, though. Wandering out of lane uninitiated (lane change indication, for example) and accelerating towards a barrier would likely count as one of those situations.

I've yet to see an incident so far where a human driver, properly engaged with the driving experience and road conditions as they should be when in charge of a vehicle, couldn't have taken action and prevented the accident. There were 7 seconds between the beginning of the maneuver and impact; Human reaction time (including taking action) is typically 0.5 seconds. That leaves 6.5 seconds to correct steering or apply the brake, bearing in mind that Autopilot will always relinquish control in either situation.

Not apologising for Tesla, they need to sort out this edge case, but that's exactly what it was and exactly why the driver is supposed to remain engaged.

I always feel bad when I throw away those supermarket catalogs full of offers... Whoever is spending time designing them, is massively wasting time (and ink, paper, logistics).

They're not, though. I know multiple people who follow those offers and goes to different supermarkets depending on them (and most likely will buy some other stuff in that particular supermarket due to being there anyway). I'm guessing the supermarkets know pretty well that those are effective at bringing people in.

I'm 100% remote since 5 years now. I rolled into it by relocating and having my biggest client OK'ing me working from abroad. This still seems to be the easiest way to convert to being a remote employee to me, build trust with a company IRL and ask to relocate.

After that contract stopped I applied to about 20 jobs from job boards such as Weworkremotely and Remoteok with the proposition that I could work with them on a freelance base. I got only one callback out of those, did a technical interview and started working with them.

Since then I've switched several times, it gets easier as you build a network of people working remotely that can give you a tip once a position opens up and that will vouch for you.

The problem is in how the gcc (and to some extent clang) maintainers read the standard.

If the C standard says: the following construct is undefined, then as a compiler writer you have two options: you try to figure out what is sensible in this context, or you do something crazy that conforms to a literal interpretation.

For operating system code, you want the compiler to something sensible. Life is already hard enough. In just about all cases where the C standard introduces undefined behaviour, there is an obvious interpretation that makes sense to most C programmers.

If you want to get the highest possible score in a benchmark, you write a compiler that drops code left and right if you can prove that the code invoked undefined behaviour.

Unfortunately, compiler writers, in particular the maintainers of gcc, seem to care more about this ratrace than to write a good compiler for compiling operating system code.
The thing is that any sufficiently large company is, by definition, full of average people. And average people are, well, kinda average.

By the CSS2 standard, #000 and #FFF are sRGB colours, with #000 targeting 0.2cd/m^2, and #FFF targeting 80cd/m^2, with adjustments for ambient light level.

With CSS4, you can choose other colour-spaces instead.

The web standard is there, but so long as 99% of users have setups which emit 300+cd/m^2 and say they're emitting 80, you can't do much with it.
