> The item that marks you as a cheater might have been a drop in another invasion, I don't remember.

I believe they can do it completely passively, so you’re kinda screwed if it happens to you :( This is sadly the nature of trusting what clients send you: a hacked client can send whatever it wants and the “anti cheat” in Dark Souls sadly seems to simply just check if an item should be possible, meaning a cheater can trick the game into punishing non-cheaters. Luckily this hasn’t been a problem for me on console, but it certainly does suck on PC :(
No. The article references plenty of existing implanted devices, but fails to acknowledge the real difference:

Pacemakers, insulin pumps, joints, brain stimulators (I forget what they’re called), the many hearing implants are all for you. Your own benefit. No one else.

An implant for your boss/company is only harmful to you. It is chosen to help your employer, not you, so the benefit doesn’t go to you. The downsides: reactions, complications, etc all fall on you. Even if they were required to pay for and/or compensate you for the harm companies are very good at not paying, and some complications are permanent (death, loss of function, scarring).

No thank you, even if my boss is willing to let me put an implant in them (which we know would never happen)
Common core math strikes again
More importantly, an AI engine is IP that could make the company an attractive acquisition target at a higher price.

Talented consultants not so much, because they may not stick around after the acquisition.

> If I can't experience more than one consciousness simultaneously, then I can't experience two.

One of you can't, but two of you might be able to :-) Kind of like how one core can't do real simultaneous multi-tasking, but two cores can.
Isn't that kind of expected, since both frameworks are so similar? Only thing that remains is what you like, or rather how you prefer your ideas to be expressed in code. And it's great that there are two (or more) solid options.

What is weird to me is that lot of people seem to insist that there are major (sometimes deal-breaking) differences between them, when even core developers of both frameworks agree that they are more similar than different.
These are all just various degrees of obfuscation that will be defeated if it's worth the money.

In particular these approaches seem weak to hardware, firmware, and driver side-channels.
In Hangzhou, China, you would find the drivers to behave much nicer to pedestrians. The local police would fine the drivers otherwise.
I'd add a few extra points:

1. Don't (unless there's an extremely good reason to do so). Ask yourself: is there a net benefit gained by forcing a developer to learn and use your DSL, ignoring their likely familiarity with general purpose languages that could solve the same problem? For starters, any application where humans won't be reading/writing a large amount of the DSL is probably out.

2. Avoid anything that resembles natural language. If you're writing a true natural-language interpreter, you're not writing a DSL. If you're writing a DSL that looks like natural language, people will be tempted to apply the grammar rules they already know from that language, rather than the strict grammar of your DSL, resulting in frustrating errors. It's a whole lot easier to memorise the rules in a language of keywords and symbols, because you don't have to first banish your existing knowledge of natural language.

3. Don't try to accomodate "non-technical" users performing intrinsically technical tasks. There's no point creating a "friendly" DSL over HTML and CSS if the people authoring in the DSL still require an in-depth knowledge of the box model, responsive web design etc. All you've done is kicked the can down the road and created a false sense of capability.
There is definitely more leeway with food. But the FDA, for instance, bans raw milk from interstate sales: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/02/20/387558373/wh...

Local governments can also regulate what food is purchaseable, more specifically, who is legally allowed to sell food; restaurants have to agree to pass health inspections, for instance. As another example: Peking Duck was effectively illegal because of health regulations until legislators (of Asian descent) were able to pass laws saying otherwise: https://www.nytimes.com/1982/03/31/us/around-the-nation-cali...
Naive question, isn't it better for a technical person to lead a dev team ?

One of the four large banks in my country I worked at only a few years ago still managed all their internal change management process on a fairly old IBM mainframe.

You had to connect via an arcane telnet client (tn3270 protocol perhaps?) and input the change details. No fancy
web forms. Perhaps it was a limitation of the application, but you couldn't mix uppercase and lowercase in the one form.
I have sent back dishes multiple times in China and gotten a new one with no problem and waiters are generally very nice (and not just to foreigners in tourist places). I guess waiters are different everywhere, restaurants are different and individual preferences are different.
> “immutable by convention" is not a data preservation strategy; the system should enforce immutability”

I actually disagree with this. In a Python-like “consenting adults” philosophy, I think it’s worse to spend engineering effort to guarantee immutability rather than to trust people not to and just have a reasonable system of backups.

Immutability by convention is 99.99999999% as good as enforced immutability for this particular type of task, and there’s even less risk with a good backup strategy to fall back if there is an accident.

Change history and access auditing are super easy on S3, as is fine-grained access control. With immutability by convention, change history is just git history, and you can customize access groups on a file-by-file basis if you want. You could also instrument logging in the shell scripts themselves if you really want, and I’m not convinced that’s worse than a third party doing it, especially if your logging backend is prone to change, or you wantbyo pipe stuff to Grafana, etc., which are quite common needs.

Querying and filtering are separate post-processing tasks. They should be expressed as source code that mutates a data set after downloading a local copy, and in fact version controlling any data cleaning, post-processing, etc., should be kept completely separate from the management of a data package. They are logically hugely different parts of the process. Slicing data ought to be up to the individual developer or researcher, to choose their tools, to optimize, etc. Version control of that source code is the right way to make that part of the work reproducible, not trying to tie custom treatments into a version of a data package.

Your points about dedup and deserialization are good ones. I can imagine problem cases for a simple script approach, but I can also say even for gigantic in-house image data sets, creating multiple slightly different materialized copies has rarely been an issue.

After seeing those benchmarks, I'm feeling even better about having just decided to go for an Aero 15.

I quite like Mac laptops, but I've concluded that I don't really need one. I'll just grab one of the new (rumored) Mac minis to continue MacOS development as needed.
I’ve always heard n% refer to the completion ranges, as you say, however, the level of glitches allowed has often been a factor too (although in my limited experience its usually been simply no glitches allowed or glitches allowed). Mostly I’ve watched dark souls speedruns where the general consensus is that any in-game glitches are allowed, external tools, hacks etc are not and the % refers to how many of the bosses are defeated.
One of the many downsides of making all your computers like two millimeters thin.
It was likely a bit of both, but there's one thing that can't be denied, apple products are built for form over function.

The answer, and it has dark implications, to me, is Trusted Computing. Never let the user have full control. Do this key exchange on a base OS or some other VM the user can never touch (e.g. Knox / TrustZone). Still, we can exploit our way to this trusted OS and MiTM there, but it takes much more skill. With Trusted Computing the base OS can more simply install a "spy" to keep track of a games memory / code to ensure it is only ever loaded and executed from memory that is essentially made read only after the program is loaded but before it executes. The trusted OS verifies the program code, the OS, etc, and if it all checks out, let's the code run. Of course it goes back to the halting problem, but if the programs memory is unexecutable and modern exploit mitigation is applied the game is now in a considerably sturdier mouse trap :)
no, I am not saying it's impossible. So, are we actually claiming that this company lied to the reporter and manually drove the car through the streets of SF, while remote controlling it? it is POSSIBLE. But do we have any EVIDENCE this happened? Because the story of Theranos is not the story of lack of evidence that it was a fraud. It was virtually apparent from the early days that it was a fraud with plenty of evidence that was ignored. Is there a shred of evidence that this is a fraud?
the guys personality grates on me personally.

I cant stand the "guy", but I love his goals and (most of) his actions.

That feature requires you to use a private IP address, so if you have a VPN or Direct Connect to another location you could load balance across locations. In the case of the global load balancers those will be public addresses though.

"The IP addresses that you register must be from the subnets of the VPC for the target group, the RFC 1918 range (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16), and the RFC 6598 range (100.64.0.0/10). You cannot register publicly routable IP addresses."

What about environment? Is waymo doing this kind of mixed urban / highway driving?

They seemed pretty confident when they had a reporter ferried back and forth.
That's really interesting. Do you have any suggestions on some further reading?
> The motivations for this new initiative could be numerous, including a step back toward the ARPA days, a way to outdo the Chinese in defense applications, and/or a way to make a political claim for the next election.

DARPA has been carrying out bleeding-edge R&D continuously for decades; as I understand it, that's their mission. How are these programs a step back? What is special about these programs, as opposed to other DARPA programs, that you think the motivations above would apply?
No, you've read it wrong. $320m of that $355m is the revenue from selling 21 million copies of the game (and doesn't adjust for discounted copies).

The 10% cut of transactions figure ($21m) is based on how much money they'd make if all the items on csgobackpack.net were sold at market value. But the actual fraction of those items which changed hands would be much smaller.

Valve is rolling in money from its cut of transactions but these numbers are misguided.

> I wonder if there has ever been an article on Vue where both the article and comments aren't a direct comparison to React.

This one? The article barely makes a comparison with React, and when it does it emphasizes their similarities.
That would require a complete and total culture change. As it is, and I know Apple has a war chest, the clock is ticking on their survival.
actually, no. They did not let people into the lab and never sent back the tests they did on those reporters. The story of Theranos, as I said in another comment, is not the story of lack of evidence - it's the story of lots of people ignoring evidence. Do you have any evidence this company cannot do what it claims to do ?
How droll, but of course a completely meaningless/content free comment. A more useful one: it's very easy to get traffic accident and fatality rates statistics. [1]

China has about 2X per-capita road fatalities, and almost 10X per-vehicle fatalities as the US.

> They are legally...bound to serve their patients.

In the US, with the cost of attorney-mediated access to the judicial system, this is not really a protective constraint for the bottom 90-95% of the population against exploitation by unethical medical providers.

I'm interested in discussions about data transparency: anonymized, aggregated data about the patient population seen, the outcomes, and the amount spent, per doctor or set of doctors (if multiple specialists are seen). The former data set so doctors don't start cherry-picking for best outcome patients. The latter data set so doctors can start observing the average and median standard of care, and there is more uniformity of care across the field.

At the moment, only the health insurance companies have access to this kind of data.

"Overall, the vehicle performs so well that you forget no one is driving."
"Pro" is a pretty broad term. I suspect the MacBook Pro is powerful enough for most professionals who need a computer to do their jobs. I use one professionally for software development, and it suits my needs just fine.

Sure - there are some professions out there that require more power than a MacBook Pro can offer. But is it really fair to say it's not "Pro" just because it can't meet the needs of 100% of all working professionals?
As long as it runs on a Z80 I’m on board.
Vue templates do not, but non-template component code very much benefits from Typescript. And of course, there is a lot of non-component code in SPAs. Vue app might be two thirds as checked as React app.
The article was laying out why that was a daft idea by going into detail about what it would actually mean, rather than just the sound bite from politicians saying “maybe we can appease incels by requiring people have sex with them”.

It illustrated the folly in numerous ways, most importantly (in my mind and for this specific case) that incels are generally able bodied young-middle aged men who wouldn’t be considered unduly prevented from getting laid themselves (vs the disabled and elderly).

Also monogamy doesn’t solve this problem at all: that’s basically the same as saying the solution to people being unable to get a relationship is for them to have a relationship.
Is there a point to this other than calling unsafe functions is unsafe?
You're on your way towards reinventing "trusted computing".

That’s a good point, which I should’ve mentioned as it goes hand in hand with the topic.

Despite how intense some situations can get in China, I’ve rarely ever felt physically threatened. It’s culturally abnormal to resort to violence.

Yes there’s a few nutjobs out there (sword-guy in Sanlitun), but on the whole it’s pretty incredible that such a big city, and country is relatively speaking, so peaceful.

> your 2 second gap is a pipe dream, not technically but logistically. You need scheduling flexibility to maintain such small gaps.

A 2 second gap means that a pod needs to sync and squeeze between two vehicles 4 seconds apart, or 45m at 40Km/h. That's three seconds of 0.3g on a 40m acceleration track, after which it can merge with no assistance from the other pods (in a practical system, they would clearly cooperate). Assuming you achieve 90% of full 2s capacity, a pod will wait an average of 20 seconds for it's slot - queues should not form outside of very busy stations, that would be connected to very thick pipes anyway.

> How do you avoid empty returns to the busy area?

You might need to return empty, you might not. There might be a triangular route available that can maintain fullness throughout. You could build a buffer in anticipation of the rush hour. The train absolutely needs to follow the same route back at the same time interval and there is no way to reallocate part of the return capacity to the forward, overloaded route by a simple lane direction reversal. (to clarify, I am talking about maximizing peak capacity at rush hour on a given overloaded segment, there would be significant empty runs during the rest of day like in any other system).

> At higher scales, one train tunnel is just enough at the terminus stations

That's because you only have underground trains to places where a full tunnel makes economic sense, so the city is substantially under-served.
I sit with my primary care doctor at least a half hour each visit, but then I'm lucky. I live very close to a first class VA medical center. I don't believe the west palm beach center can be beat.

That assumes the competition is inevitable. Hopefully, China can become a democracy, set free its people, and then the competition will be no more ferocious than the U.S.'s with Europe, Japan, India, Brazil, or any other democracy. The 'competition' is a massive waste of money and possibly of blood that benefits very few people at the expense of billions of others. Compare the competition to the relationships among democracies; what is gained by it?
> Total market volume is in the billions.

Trade volume, or market cap? This is an important distinction. You can't multiply the number of items for sale by the market rate for those items. What you're saying is that people are spending billions on CS:GO items and I don't think that's correct; I think what you mean is that buying all the items at their current market prices would require billions.
Thanks Brianna!
For some cost-prohibitive things such as surgery, you really don't have much choice, though.

Go overseas. To one of the medical tourism destinations. The care is far superior and the cost a fraction. Cheaper than the insurance premiums alone.
Yes, indeed, and this is what I was expecting to see in the article. Sadly not so.

I can't imagine why they've done this. I suppose that it makes sense for enterprises that setup employees' devices. But if I'm using some third-party VPN service, it's a pain. And it's a special pain if I'm not using the latest macOS release, because then there's no way to install Apple Configurator!
You don't know what you're talking about. Firstly, disengagement rates don't mean much, but if they did, One every 430 miles in downtown San Fransisco is spectacular. Zoox is behind Waymo and Cruise, and no one else, in an industry that has seen over 200 billion in investment globally over the past two years. There is a long list of companies that have spent a lot more developing autonomy and have a lot less to show for it than Zoox.
I'd also be concerned it might exacerbate the opioid epidemic.

One thing that bugs me about this article is that the author chose the largest and most expensive SUVs, not the ones that are actually popular.

The smaller and more popular RAV4, Rogue, CR-V, Escape, etc aren't mentioned here. Comparatively, nobody buys Tahoes and Sequoias.
And thermals is real issue with race to making thinnest laptops possible. My Thinkpad T450s throttles just running Chrome and bunch of tabs. I don't see how a competitor having thermal problems exonerates Apple from having similar problems.

Are there any reasonably straightforward open source VPN servers compatible with Apple’s clients? For cloud and VPS setups, I always end up mucking around with OpenVPN/Tunnelblick.
> Except literally running at half capacity.

I’ve been writing SIMD code for some time now, and I disagree.

You can read the documentation I’ve generated https://github.com/Const-me/IntelIntrinsics AVX intrinsics begin with _mm256_.

You’ll find that for some AVX operations, such as _mm256_fmadd_ps, _mm256_adds_epi8, _mm256_blendv_ps, both latency and throughput of Ryzen is equivalent to Skylake. For some others, e.g. _mm256_add_ps, _mm256_mul_ps, Ryzen is close to some older Intel, Haswell or Broadwell. Only for very rarely used stuff, e.g. _mm256_broadcast_ps, _mm256_madd_epi16, Ryzen is significantly slower than Intel.
I don’t disagree and this is why things like Wireguard are so attractive to people. But IPsec works the way it does mostly due to legacy and mostly because once you figure out the magic words it does work pretty well.
The carousel/panel of book reviews are not fully visible or accessible at a zoom-level of 100% on Chrome - an extremely rare case of UI bug on a Stripe product announcement page. Or, is this a feature? ;)
Very productive approach. I felt like I learned something today.
For some data sets we use an archive format and the corresponding script unpackages the data. For others, we have all individual files in S3. Using archives improves download speed, and sometimes we provide both, so some narrowly-defined data sets benefit from the archive file, while others can pick and choose specific samples to include or exclude.

One of the nice things about the simple script approach is that the dataset can be defined however you like. Whatever the script retrieves and unpacks for you, that is the data set of that script. It could be a superset or subset of other data, and intersection of samples with a certain property from other data. As long as that definition is treated as immutable, and the backing data is immutable, it defines a specific collection of items however you want.
