Snow seems like one of the easier problems, honestly. Pretty much all the "technical" problems seem pretty straightforward. Waymo already posted an article where they talked about how they can filter falling snow out of their LIDAR input, for example.

It's the social problems that are hard for AI, like how to handle a construction zone that looks like you need to break the law to get around. Those don't always have easily generalizable answers.
Similar to cloth physics, except it's 1D.

And I think this is one of the most impressive feats here (besides turning, or rather directing, feminism into mainly being about reducing labour costs); a lot like spin doctoring.

Instead of gaining actual, actionable choice and freedoms, merely one social ideal (man works, woman cares for the children) was exchanged for another social ideal (both have to work, state handles the children), and the demographic pressuring women into compliance changed perhaps slightly.
At least in the US, transit is unfortunately quite bad on average, and that doesn't look to change anytime soon in most areas.
SBCL will issue a compile warning, that it cannot guarantee that you call the functions only with FIXNUMS.
I think I'm being more pragmatic and immediately jumping to what needs to change to make this situation treatable. An abstract statement of a problem like this is probably great for teaching people concepts about consensus, but hopefully no one knowingly designs stuff that way (except Mongo perhaps)
Thanks for the detailed reply. I agree that this isn't the best use of Anki; I did it more as a way of testing how effective spaced repetition is. And in that respect, the experiment was a success, so now I feel confident using this system to memorize other things I care about. The ML insight was just a nice surprise. :)

While most can learn to ride a bicycle with minimal effort, it turns out the control of an idealized bicycle is actually quite complex and has a storied history. For a brief rundown (and insight into the complexity of the problem), scan through this presentation (pdf warning): http://www.control.lth.se/media/Staff/KarlJohanAstrom/Lectur...
I think the bigger problem, conceptually, is the assumption that tests are necessarily something you write and not something you do. There's nothing wrong with having automated tests, but they're a supplement to hands-on testing, not a replacement for it.
> Many would view it as an unfortunate side-effect of the job, or worse.

It is somewhat unfortunate, but it's also well-understood, as you start working to get into these spaces you know it's a significant risk especially if you're aiming for the more popular kind of public act[0].

And that's not a recent phenomenon either, public performers have had significantly lowered expectations of privacy… ever since the concept has existed really.

What I mean to say is: if you're an artist, you're aware that this shit is a risk, and you can act to mitigate it, and it's a pain and tiring but at least it's that. And if you know dealing is not an option, you take a different path or take care to hide your identity early on (à la Banksy) or use some other means of separating a public persona and a more discrete private one.

If you're a rando, the expectation is not that you're going to be made "famous" for mundane actions, it's not a side-effect or your career and benefits, and you're basically hosed.

The big difference is everyone on bbses had a handle for some reason everyone uses there real name / posts where they work.

The former were pure prophecies with no viable, known methods to achieve them at the time. Self driving cars are in active development, and look to be within spitting distance of full autonomy at least for most driving scenarios. It's possible that last % of situations will be super hard to solve, sure, but it's still a very different thing than someone just going, "oh man it'll be cool when".

Just because a reality TV celebrity now is your elected president doesn't mean all celebrities want to be a Supreme Commander Of Rad Nukes.
That, or we switch to a safer nuclear. Turns out nuclear is the only CLEAN baseload energy provider. The rest is all intermittent.

Fun fact: Nuclear (in the US) is 50 times safer than hydro-electric (in the US) and 4400 times safer than rooftop solar (global) as measured by deaths per watt-hour.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_accidents#Fatalities

Say what you will about Chernobyl and Fukushima, but if LFTRs can provide a better and safer nuclear? Then it's about time environmentalists started pulling their heads from their asses and reconsider nuclear before we irreversibly fuck up our entire planet and ecosystem.
I think the tweeter may end up having problems over the fact that she did try to exploit the tweets for fame and advantage. If it had been just sharing observations about something happening around her, she'd likely be fine. Trying to gain personally from the story makes it much more shaky on an ethical level for me.

And there's no excuse for encouraging people to seek out the subject's identity. Awful idea all around.

For these cases, the car could have a manual mode (?)
How to get admitted into the acute psychiatric ward in a hospital
One of the under-explored uses of the blockchain is as a decentralised permissionless append-only log for tracking custody and authenticity of physical products. This is also an area where a mobile app is well suited, since users should be able to add to the log and check values on it wherever they are, and ideally with a quick snap of a QR code or tap of an NFC tag.

Imagine that a mass-produced tech item from China came with a QR code certificate authenticity, which the end user could scan to check that the item had been made by a specific factory and a specific company. (The company could also add extra metadata to a blockchain to detail how the goods travelled and which are the approved importers).

The QR code should presumably have extra information in it which ties it to a serial number baked into the silicon of the purchased item, but there are other ways (based on double-spend prevention) that you could confirm a given QR code hadn't merely been duplicated.
TFA is about someone doing this to, what, probably a few dozen people? The more people you try a stunt like this on, the bigger the chance that one of the people receiving one message will talk to one of the people receiving the other message.
It will happen but the timelines are looking much longer than people were promising two years ago to get investment. The reality of the difficulty of the edge cases and long term reliability has been made more clear and the hype is fading. Now it's time to slog through the real and difficult work of making what we have reliable and safe.
I find that haskell is great to learn about functional programming and programming ideas, but to get things done, I stick to imperative or OO languages. Could be that I learned CS with C/C++/Java and work with C#/C++. So I just stick to what I'm familiar with.
In Software Engineering, you don't need to work where you live nor live where you were born/studied. One very good reason.
> This case is probably questionable but, to your point, if I take a picture of you canoodling in a public park I'm perfectly within my rights to publish that image so long as it's not for marketing or advertising purposes (if people are recognizable).

It depends on the jurisdiction.

Mainland europe tends to have pretty strong personality rights, especially (but not solely) for non-public persons (e.g. people who aren't politicians or athletes or stars or more generally in the public consciousness).

And in many countries there you would not be within your rights to publish a specific image of a couple "canoodling in a public park". You would if you were taking a picture of something else entirely (e.g. a crowd, a public event, a landmark or monument) and they just happened to be in the frame, but not if they were the subject.
I learned Haskell and then moved to OCaml and found it to be a much more practical language. Haven’t tried Lisp yet, but it’s quickly moving to the top of my list.
If this only went on on Twitter or whatever, this would have come to pass. The reason it's "blown up" is due to media attention, ironically from the likes of The Atlantic and all the other media channels who decided it was funny and wanted to carry the story because everyone else was.

The Atlantic should be outraged at itself along with all the media family.

Right here The Atlantic is masterfully playing the issue from both sides. It could have addressed the issue genetically, of course.
> So why should I stay in the software domain ?

Because you are already heavily invested and is part of the current elite of software engineers, probably. If you still like it, why leave it?

I love the “ancient tech” topics :) as time marches on I tend to think “...wow...I used that!” BBS, Gopher, and other tools which are still (maybe not commonly) used like Pine and Lynx are a few items that come up in conversation that prompt a sense of wonder in me. Things have come a long way since I first started to dabble...and I’m not even “that old”!
Who will win fifa 2018
Seinfeld and Galifianakis had an interesting chat in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee about privacy & fame. What I took from it is that people broadly have different privacy expectations and even would label the same settings as public vs. private. Anyways, I was already thinking about that conversation, but it’s even more interesting to see it played down to the level of any random person.

You could use XML data structures in which some of the elements are programs that you can execute (program is data), other are graphic, other are links to more XML data and so on. And your program is able to process that information.

It would be nice to get the ability to control them more generally.
Any language that has a C FFI (and that his a whole lot of them) provides easy access to low-level features. The managed languages (Java especially) make this harder than it should be.

At any rate Rust and Swift are both good examples of efficient languages that can easily make use of low-level system and processor features and which offer a good C FFI.
Ok, how about remote-controls :) Like where you have a control-center with trained drivers who take over in case of problem-situations.
Clojure has implementations of CSP, Minikanren and pattern matching all done with macros. I'm not sure how you can call these toy examples
I used plotly extensively for a year. I enjoyed their python API, but the product side is really bad. I was paying for the corporate subscription and without a single email or anything they removed chat support from my subscription. When I tried receiving chat support one day, the operator told me my subscription no longer had that feature and when asked why this wasn’t ever communicated to me I was left with silence. Really awful customer support, and sneaky little usage features that make the product ultimately not worth it.

I moved on to vega.js and it has been so much nicer in so many ways.

Sorry to divert from OP so much, but plotly started out as the type of dataviz solution i was looking for and morphed into a misdirected, poorly run business seemingly more focused on competing in the BI space than doing what they were originally good at. Too bad.
Hmm sounds like you've identified a terrific opportunity to disrupt the game of bowling!

Or in less sarcastic terms, boring is an old, old game; the proof is in the pudding.
Today's generation of software engineers maybe, but thankfully humanity is a lot bigger than that. There are huge numbers of engineers who come up with practical non-digital solutions; take a look at farming or manufacturing equipment.
Not the op but I'll give it a try. When a " celebrity" advertises perfumes, watches, clothing, erectile disfunction therapies, etc... they intentionally blend the gap between their public persona and private life for profit.

In such circumstances it is hypocritical in my opinion to complain of invasion of privacy as they literally sold parts of it to the public. It is with a 100% certainty that the simple and the easily excitable will see this as an invitation to get closer.

Edited to clarify my point.
My bad. I was specifically referring to the US which indeed tends to tilt more toward freedom of speech/press vs. privacy rights than many other countries do.

I think Linus understands Linux files. Reread the message:

The fact that you can't seek on a socket is irrelevant to the thread, which is about accessing files, not navigating them.
"Is nuclear power going to help the United States decarbonize its energy supply and fight climate change?

Probably not.

That is the conclusion of a remarkable new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in early July — remarkable because it is not written by opponents of nuclear power, as one might expect given the conclusion. The authors are in fact extremely supportive of nuclear and view its loss as a matter of “profound concern”"

Physical well-being isn't free on the internet, since every aspect of well-being can be affected by every other one. Chronic emotional stress has physical effects, for instance. Bullying can impact each aspect. My spiritual wellbeing isn't about religion. It's about what the quality of connection is between myself and others. I prefer peaceful connection and hypothesize it's healthier for me in the long-run.

I'm right there with you that if someone triggers themselves over my words, the triggered person is responsible for how they react/respond to it. I also choose to share in the responsibility because whether I intended for that outcome or not, it still happened as a result of someone's personal state encountering my words/actions. I aim to respond compassionately to them and hopefully empathize with where they're at in a way that invites healing around both them triggering in the moment and whatever they're carrying from the past. I view this as my responsibility because I've learned how to heal around several of my own issues and wish to help others learn how to heal themselves.

By doing so, I can contribute to cultures in ways that promote wellbeing beyond the context of whatever we're coming together to do.

Also, Linus's behavior isn't the only way to operate and his goals can be met in other ways. Him doing this since 1991 doesn't necessarily mean it's a sustainable way to be for him... It simply means his behavior doesn't outweigh the usefulness of his contributions, yet.
Personally, I’d be happy with just automated freeway driving. That seems like an easier problem to solve (no pedestrians, complex traffic controls, cars going the other way or turning across your path, and visibility is usually pretty good). Why not focus on and perfect that first?

Hominins Likely Left Africa Earlier Than Believed
This is interesting to me because it gives one a way to evaluate if they are valuing something fairly (usually in comparison shopping) like mentioned with the monitor example. Keeping this in mind reminds you to determine the value of a factor independent of other products, thus assigning a significance to you on its own and at different levels. It's also an indicator of how knowledgeable we are about the metric.

For example: One can visualize 128 colors as being not that many. Once we get into the thousands this gets more and more abstract & less important.

Another: A has a 5ms response time, B has a 10ms response time. A seems better, but on its own each doesn't seem to make much sense - lets go learn more about what this metric means.

Another : A is 5kg and B is 10kg. A might seem better but when we look at each independently we look at why weight matters. We realize both are OK - a monitor isn't going to be moving around much.

What kind of highway? We have a 2016 Outback with EyeSight and basically never use it. Lane keeping beeps for every line of tar sealant on the road. Adaptive cruise control puts the pedal to the metal once it's 2 MPH lower than the set speed. Like, I don't want the engine to rev to 8K RPM while I'm going uphill, alright? Has nobody heard of an easing curve?
That logical conclusion exercise basically how to suss out, and then create giant scale businesses.

When enough of these exercises in root cause analysis (which is a bad methodology) point to the same problem, and you can monopolize the solution for that singular problem, you have a massive win on your hands.

Do you think that was always the expectation? In a few short years, if the current path continues, we'll have an "expectation" that random people have just as little right to privacy. This seems to fall into the same boat as, if I don't stand up for others (in this case, celebrities, who are still people, no matter how envious we may be of them), then who will stand up for me?
