You could multiplex multiple adpative-rate encrypted video streams into a single stream per viewer, keeping the content of each encrypted and choosing which bitrate streams to include in the multiplexed output according to current bandwidth. There's no need to actually decode them, you just have to know which encrypted streams are which. All composition would then be done on the clients. This is just a possibility for how it could be done, I have no idea how Apple actually does it. For best results, you'd probably need some non-encrypted metadata about the streams too, e.g. timing information.
To have nice prototyping & development I use it more like typechecker than compiler.

I set "transpileOnly" for tsc loader and set different more strict command like "npm typecheck" to "tsc --no-emit ./src/index.ts". I usually add only strict null checks and it's enough for me. I also disable most of tslint as it's way too heavy in standard CRA app for example.

This way you get hints from tsc in editor so you see what is wrong but at the same time you can run your app without fixing everything upfront.
Law is fuzzy logic that takes in wide band information in a contextual way. AIs are terrible at that, at least as we have them now.

> I'm betting in 5 years we'll see lawyers use AI to help them do their job, specifically to help them create logical arguments for their cases.

So, actually, Lawyers are using AI right now - but not in that way. Specifically AI is used to analyze and bring up relevant case law, in the same way a law clerk might. It's not perfect, it still requires humans to clean up, but it saves some hours since it can analyze a lot of law quickly and vaguely run a likelihood analysis.

Law is also in English. English is not formally logical. Frequently laws have subtle wording problems.
I don't think the marketplace makes a distinction between "good" and "bad" CEOs with regards to pay, compensation, and rewards.

FWIW that's how all the trusses on your house were probably done.

I think it's mostly a cost/benefit tradeoff. My hunch is that the overhead of building on-site isn't that great when you have to figure in the overhead of shipping/designing something in a modular way. Pretty much everything is 8ft long in terms of building materials which makes it much easier to transport.
C-Plus-Equality: A Feminist Programming Language
Let's take it a step further than that.

People already know who is corrupt, who is sexually harassing, etc.

Certainly their victims and co-conspirators know it. Probably their staffers, friends and family have a pretty good idea.

Often reporters themselves know who is dirty but don't have enough corroborating sources to get past the fact checkers.

So it seems like the Wikileaks model could be improved with a crypto market. Those in the know place bets on who is dirty and get a payoff when the dirt eventually gets disclosed.

It would be a nice incentive to get more disclosure, and it would directly reward the victims and leakers.

Nuclear is the only form of energy of all those we know thats both. Green, reliable, scaleable. The fact that it countries shied away from it because of environmental organizations is the real catastrophe. But as usual the best solution doesn't always win.

Solar and wind would also be expensive if they hadn't been subsidized.

Nuclear has killed fewer people than coal, fossil fuel, wind and solar. Plus once built it last for a very very long time.

Perhaps you should take a few seconds to look at the actual data. There is nothing old-fashioned about nuclear especially not the new types of reactors and there is certainly no other form of energy besides fusion which can provide the amount of energy nuclear can.

So no nuclear is the idea you should support if you actually care about the environment. Solar is toxic to the environment and requires quite a lot to keep functioning wind is the same.

To get wind and solar to work consistently and reliably through some sort of grid system is going to be a project many many times bigger than nuclear and it's not going to be the increasing demand from the developing countries where more and more people get into the middle class.

So you are from my perspective completely wrong about your idea of solar and wind as being the future of energy for the world. They are not and will not be. They simply aren't reliable and scaleable enough sources fuell cells or not.
I was thinking about this and looked into some of the research. We're not quite there yet though. However, if we do have a practical way of doing it, I think it would be best if we use volatile renewables like solar and wind and store the excess as hydrocarbons. That would give use a smooth transition path, reduce the energy storage problem, and provide a source of carbon-neutral fuels.

However, longer term we must still move away from burning fossil fuels even if we make them completely carbon neutral, because while its a slow effect they are not oxygen neutral...

It is absolutely a red flag. If you've committed to another company, then you have no business interviewing elsewhere.

If you don't take a job seriously at one company, why would I expect you to take a job seriously at my company?

If I offer you a job, how can I be sure you'll show up for it, and not just take the next offer that comes along? I can't. So you're no longer in consideration as soon as you tell me you're disloyal to your other company.

In some industries in America (especially media companies, but it's also common in high-end retail), if your boss hears that you're looking for another job, you're immediately fired. Sometimes it's even written into the contract, if you have one.

If they truly meant upper end of the [100k, 1M) range and they're still in the same state of having a mere combined 11k saved...they're doing something horribly wrong with their finances and should take a step back and reevaluate their personal finances.

I'm in the [100k, 200k) range, and I've had to reevaluate my finances. I used to live pretty comfortably on less than half my income. I had no credit card debt, my $50k car was paid off. Student loans were paid off a decade ago. Then, I got married and now have 2 step children. Between moving into a larger place to accommodate the new family and all the costs associated with getting married, moving & furnishing a larger place, I'm just now about to start to get our heads above water.

> That said, the GitHub team reports that the set of users who have migrated or closed their accounts is extremely small, and this is more than made up for by the surge of new signups and new interest in GitHub this week.

It's interesting to hear this. If you were on HN the past week, it might have seemed from all the front page articles that GitHub was about to implode due to an an exodus to GitLab.
I wish the article elaborated a little more on where the energy comes from to (re)form gasoline. Gasoline has an extremely high energy density. To force hydrogen to bond with CO2 must expense a large amount of energy. The energy has to come from somewhere and delivering the proper amount cannot be a trivial thing. There is a limitation on how hot things can get without chemical reaction (such as burning fuel). Also, a good chunk (I think over 75%) of hydrogen is created by super heating steam with petroleum based fuel...this would make the whole process counterproductive.

Maybe the typical "pedestrian" problems, like lists having non-zero length, or numbers being in a given range, can be checked statically with simpler means that full-on dependent types?

E.g. safe resource deallocaion problem can be seen as a dependent-type problem (only let an initialized resource into a deallocator), but is usually solved with sort-of linear types, or even simpler (though more crude) means.
> We will continue to develop and support both Atom and VS Code going forward [...] for as long as there is a healthy community of people who love each of them, which I expect to be a very long time.
Yea, I didn't say anything to the contrary.

In fact, I am the owner of a business in an industry which was heavily saturated. There were already companies doing exactly what we do, before we started. I just knew we could do it a lot better. We're making money already and haven't made a single sales call, or put a single advertisement out there. We're on schedule to be profitable this year. I'm not going to be the next Zuckerberg with this business, but I recognized there is plenty of opportunity in the software world despite it not being as flashy perhaps, as the last 10 years.

I'm just saying that this type of environment is going to be much less "hot" than when the playing field is wide open. The early days of iOS were a gold rush. That's cooled off significantly, yet who knows when the next Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat will appear.
For very limited applications you can probably plug and play something like DDQN or A3C, but since we don't have a good algorithm that applies to many RL problems, any innovation will take quite a bit of theoretical background.

A while ago we tried to use DDQN to self-play a multi-agent pacman environment that we built, it was able to converge but the convergence was very suboptimal. We had to modify the sampling process in order to get slightly better convergence.

The patents covered parts of the technology which Apple planned to make an open standard. This would have left the standard patent-encumbered, making it hazardous to implement.
Certainly communication of any changes to all drivers inexperienced with the latest version; ideally user interaction required for the update to be applied, and potentially even the ability to reverse them if they are unhappy with the changes.
Issues are used as often for feature requests and potential improvements as for bugs, so a high number of issues is not a strong indicator of poor quality. (Also, people usually look at existing issues, so a common bug only shows up as a small number of issues.)
Having just gone through this process can confirm. You also have different states/counties having different zoning requirements for stuff like wind/snow load, etc. If you're building from materials it's much easier to go from 2x4 -> 2x6 and stronger trusses/foundation than re-engineer a whole modular structure.
I think there's definitely saturation in terms of the short-term money wins, such as creating software for a particular vertical. You see accelerators funding the same things, over and over again.

But what is interesting is that very few people are doing really ground-breaking, long-term projects, where everything is thrown out and started over from scratch. I think the reason is, one, it's not readily-profitable, and two, that technology has expanded so much that it's hard to see the big picture. You can't "throw it all out" unless you already know it all -- and nobody knows it all anymore.

Also, with the increase in consumption, there's a lack of creativity in newer generations and a lack of understanding that "if they don't like it they can make it themselves." Part of that is creation is so sophisticated that it seems daunting to start and the other part is that people are getting more accustomed to the idea that these things will just be handed to them, pre-packaged and complete.

I didn't say no car has ever relied on software. I said cars are becoming more reliant on software. I don't think that is a controversial statement. I also don't think it is controversial to say that other automakers also occasionally ship buggy code. The Toyota brake issue I mentioned in the previous post is one example.

Additionally, the argument that we should continue to handle updates this way simply because we have done it this way for decades is the laziest possible reasoning. It is frankly surprising to see that argument on HN of all places.

As for the evidence that OTA updates can make things safer, this is from Consumer Reports:

>Consumer Reports now recommends the Tesla Model 3, after our testers found that a recent over-the-air (OTA) update improved the car’s braking distance by almost 20 feet. [1]

That update going out immediately OTA is going to save lives compared to if Tesla waited for the cars to be serviced like other manufacturers. I don't think you can legitimately argue against that fact.

That is not accurate. In fact one of the key features of radar processing is to find objects in the clutter, usually by filtering on Doppler shifts.

Thanks for that insight. I hadn’t considered the connection mechanics with MySQL as a usability point for PHP.

I often cite the traceability of early PHP and it’s one-file-per-url policy as usability features. Many of these features have been lost in modern PHP. A similar thing has happened with JS. There seems to be an opportunity for a back-to-the-roots platform that brings these things back.

Any advice on how to learn to not be "bad with money"?
You say that houses tend to have a reasonable expectation of privacy, but not internet services, why is that? Possibly because they keep their logs? I don't understand why we should not have reasonable expectation of privacy for our internet activity. Seems like we could have a reasonable expectation of privacy if internet services don't keep their logs. So intent might be there, but one could view their lack of logs as upholding our privacy, not hiding criminal activities.
It depends on whether you are implementing a library to support RL or using one that does - in the former case, yah, you better have a grip, in the latter, you need to understand enough to know how to utilize the library and not feed it nasty things.... this isn't to say you can be mathematically illiterate, however there are levels to required knowledge - the same as you don't need to know how to make a compiler to use one

The hope was that other browsers would eventually have Dart VMs too and there would still be fair competition.

In many ways, this is similar the path that asm.js/WASM took. First it's polyfilled to JS in all browsers. Then some browsers get faster native support while still polyfilling the others. Then eventually all browsers support it natively.

The initial asm.js design was a little different because as a subset of JS, the polyfill was a no-op. But the binary form of WASM, I think, required a JS polyfill on browsers that didn't support it natively.

Dart could have taken a similar path, but we didn't get the level of user excitement required to motivate browsers to follow along.
Good question. Could it be fear of failure, I'm thinking. And made more so due to the media hyping up the overnight successes (a lot of it earlier, still happens now), but now with some failures publicly seen, wannabes starting to see that it is not all roses and laurels (to mix a metaphor)?
