Electric is quieter than gas turbine. That I agree. But quiet enough to meet residential quiet time requirements is still up for debate. The quietest jackhammer in the world still can't run at night.

Hopefully these planes are some sort of VTOL and can descend within the confines of the airport property and zone. Current planes line up over residential neighborhoods with the homes closest to the runway getting the worst of the noise.
Right now, you can view and edit any web page in Firefox but to capture it, you have to use our Chrome Extension.

We’re looking at other ways to “capture” pages i.e. js snippet, firefox, etc.

It's a really cool phenomena, it also means we have to make our simulations better. These sorts of RL algorithms are so good at finding "exploits" in the physics engine they are in that help them "cheat" sometimes, compared to what the researcher wanted.
Thanks for finding that! I thought it was fascinating at the time and clearly it stuck with me.

Very clear for me. What's horrible about it?
Perhaps it's just because I'm not in the target demographic, but this is exactly the reason that Google Wifi is completely out of consideration if I ever need to buy a new router.

Give me local ssh and WebUI. No cloud, no phone apps.
Thanks. That's true, though to be fair, the kind of changes needed to terraform Mars also normally happen on geological time scales. That's not to say it can't be done faster, but as others have mentioned, plans to terraform the planet are incomplete if they don't address the issue of solar wind.

> The US says if X is the USA then you are NOT a citizen of the US

That is not correct. In the majority of cases the child will be a US citizen at birth, and the parents do not have to bring the child to the US.

> Once you're 18, you are just another foreigner if you didn't already start the process.

Also incorrect. Even if no application is made until the child becomes an adult, application can still be made for derivative US citizenship.

> if Y is Ireland you probably aren't

Again incorrect, assuming by "settled in Y" you mean gained permanent residency.

They know what they are doing, the main players are extracting wealth. The financial market is one big casino were the bankers can extract as much wealth as possible in the name of providing liquidity. The suckers(masses) are the rest of us via our 401/pension funds. They know what exactly they are doing.
> The bulk of TNC trips — 60 percent — either replace transit, biking, and walking, or would not have been made without the availability of TNCs.

I feel like those numbers need to be broken out in order to make a cogent policy argument. Replacing walking/biking/transit is very different from a trip that otherwise wouldn’t be made.
This is a terrific podcast. Brian is an obviously well-read and inquisitive host. He asks great questions, interviews intelligent guests, and makes all of this complex information very accessible. Highly recommended.
What benefits do the reviewers get? Do they get a financial incentive or just because its something they might enjoy doing?

you said you get input. In the form of linkedin, emails, text, etc? Do you just copy paste the responses in, or do you automate this process entirely?

I had to do a review for my friends company who would fit in this category as well. It was part of the entreprenurship program at his university. He asked me 20 questions in my domain expertise in youtube / twitch and I gave one hour worth of answers. He asked 40 other people who had video experience as well in that domain

He said the insight was much more valuable than just text feedback he's gotten in the past.

Do you see video feedback as a thing, or even vocal, or do you prefer anonymizing to text only?
Probably 90% of third party libraries I ever used in my TypeScript projects have TypeScript interfaces built into them, so you just install the package like normal `npm i -P somelib`, and TypeScript automatically knows its types. Maybe 9% of them don't, and you have to add types like `npm i -D @types/somelib`. And the other 1% you can add manually yourself by adding them into `global.d.ts` in your project and only creating types for the functions you actually use. I only ever had to do this once, and it took about an hour total. It would have been more like 5 minutes if I had known that you can use the `typeof` operator in TS to specify that a given field is a constructor of another type.
I also have an emotional reaction to seeing books destroyed but the bottom line is that many products in this world see demand reduce precipitously, rendering them obsolete. There simply aren’t many ways to use a computer monitor from 1985 or a book about the immune system from 1937.
I don't know how you quantify that.

For instance if you use "uninterruptable" instances in GCS it is cheaper than using comparable instances in AWS to train neural nets on a GPU.

On the other hand I hear the "uninterruptable" instances in GCS get interrupted all the time, but I know the interruptable instances make training inexpensive in AWS (eg. $8 to build a simple but strong language model) It is a pain to deal with interruption but any job that could run more than 8 hours needs serious attention to crash recovery no matter what kind of kit you're running it on.

I shut down all of my mysql instances in Amazon because I was not happy with the value, but I do have a "CAN-SPAM compliant e-mail marketing system" which uses Lambda, Dynamo DB, SES, SNS, SQS and all that and it costs under $10 a month to run if you have a list of 10,000 people or so and e-mail them a few times a month. It runs trouble free if I walk away from it for a month, whether or not the number of subscribers explodes.

Could you make something like that with the other clouds? I am sure you can. I'd imagine the cost would be similar.

The reason I don't investigate the other clouds when working on my own dime is that I know how to work AWS on a deep level, I know it won't blow up my Python install the way GCS does, etc. I know or have embodied in code the details to create a staging environment in some region and availability zone, placement group, subnet, etc in AWS. It is the same on GCS and Azure but I can save work by not replicating it.

What bends the needle for me is working for someone who is using some other cloud. I think those people are motivated by what cloud their customer uses ("hybrid cloud" rings about as true as "luxury sedan") The pricing factor I see is that it is easy for academics, startups, VARs, etc. to get free credits to use on GCS or Azure. AWS had to do that long ago, but today they are the standard and GCS and Azure have to pay more to get the customer.
The biggest three advantages I can think of right now:

* Git integration: You can directly edit in diffs, commit from the sidebar, see your submodules and commit in them, ...

* Integrated terminal which can also run tasks, so colors and input will work

* Much better debugging support (AFAIK ST3 has none out-of-the-box)

It's been a while since I've seriously used Sublime Text though.

I'm reminded of a story my ex-Amazon friend would tell where it was a week-long process to get an extra $100-something stick of RAM for his workstation when he started there, needing various sign-off and escalations for such a grave expense.

Meanwhile he was deploying some machine-learning categorization stuff he was working on to some cluster that would cost five figures of compute each time, and nobody batted an eye.

Depends on the kind of style 'subject' I think. If it is trivial indentation, bracket placement and other preference kind of things it probably wouldn't. But if the style things lean more towards design patterns, then often there is a proper reason behind choosing that style over another and it would help because you would notice doing it the 'wrong' way and you stop to evaluate and maybe spot a bug or design issue. I think that would fall in the category of code smells like when you use a framework in a convoluted way you're probably not using the framework right or over stretching it.
Cars don't derive their propulsion by pushing air. Airboats are a closer comparison. They normally are powered by a V8 and are extremely loud. Not just from the unmuffled engine but also from the big ass fan that's attached to it.
We had the technology to build human-level artificial hands in the 80s, I remember seeing it in movies and on PBS:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Circuit_(1986_film)

We arguably even had the knowledge to build the neural nets to run them. Had more people been exposed to functional, declarative and data-driven programming back then, I think it would have seemed straightforward to wire up large networks as spreadsheets. Sadly, most of those older approaches have been replaced with opaque and buzzwordy approaches that bury concepts in terminology.

Arguably there was no market back then for AI. But I think what really happened is that AI arrived simultaneously with neoliberalism and supply-side economics which treat workers as commodities. Rather than letting everyone replace themselves with robots and keep their paychecks, they were instead forced to work longer and longer hours for less pay and compete with companies overseas that have few labor or environmental protections.

The problem isn't the technology, it's the political climate that can't see beyond jobs and so-called handouts. Which means that alternative societies are going to have to tackle problems all at once rather than piecemeal. There's going to be tremendous pressure to undercut human-oriented economies that focus on self-actualization over the mundane tasks of running the daily rat race (just like we've seen with organic, high efficiency, solar, wind and recycling being disincentivized).
I think we'll get back there, but recent things really make me wonder what's changed so much. When Elon literally put a roadster into space on the experimental, and successful, debut launch of the most powerful rocket ever built since the space race, to say nothing of the crazy design and autonomous landings, I thought that we might see some sort of wider reawakening and wonder as to what we can actually do now a days if we actually just decided to do it. Literally gave me goosebumps seeing those boosters do their dance and land in such beautiful harmony.

Instead, it received relatively little coverage in the media, and a fair bit that of what coverage it did receive managed to somehow spin it into a negative. The media is in general just so incredibly disappointing now a days. So much time is wasted trying to ignite outrage when so many amazingly great things are happening at this very moment.
Wikipedia does not auto-redirect on search for the term Menorah:

Menorah may refer to:

Menorah (Temple), a seven-lamp candelabrum used in the ancient Tabernacle in the desert, the Temple in Jerusalem, and synagogues

Menorah (Hanukkah) or ḥanukkiyah, a nine-lamp candelabrum used on the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah

Knesset Menorah, a bronze monument in front of the Knesset in Israel

> That startup was much more than just that front end, wasn't it?

It was what 99% of all customers saw, and it was practically bug free for 6 years. What else do you want?

I built and maintained it primarily as a single developer. Yes there were other parts to the company, but both Slack and Facebook were started up purely on PHP - so there's no reason to suggest that you still can't build up $50m companies on purely PHP code.

Anyway the discussion from the article is whether it would have been better to write it in Java. I can't see what benefit Java would bring.
How much have Windows and Linux changed since 10.6. Quite a bit. But the MacOS X UNIX userland has not.

Still quite vague....

I've been increasingly running into portability problems, from missing or non-functional commands and associated command-line options, to long-fixed bugs which they haven't bothered to update.

So you’re writing software that depends on the shell commands...

Well, it's a wider question than that. It's more like: will I drop MacOS support entirely, or will this have sufficiently decent specification that it's worth re-evaluating dropping it entirely. For that, I would need to know about its GPU and VRAM, max RAM, storage options, connectivity, etc.

You’re basing your software road map on what may appear on the hardware landscape 2 years from now? I hope you didn’t base your development on Intels road map for the last few years....

Since I will not be using Metal, I need to know if the workarounds are acceptable, or if the result will be awful.

If you’re basing your roadmap on a deprecated API, that doesn’t say much about your product planning....

I'm a cross-platform developer in the typical meaning of the word: cross-platform for desktops/workstations of all common operating systems.

So you’re a “cross platform” developer complaining about Unix support on the Mac? How is that Unix support working out on Windows?

Well if you look at the plot in the "Learning progress" section, you'll see that they did require almost two orders of magnitude more training time due to the randomizations they were adding to the simulation. Without these the policy isn't very robust but also takes a lot less time to train.
> Yes, billions. Not Millions.

Well if they even agreed on millions, that would still be an improvement over the current thinking, i.e., if one type of job is eliminated, a new type of job would magically appear and we'll keep living in the same rainbows and unicorns economy that we are in.
How App Academy's bootcamp prep helps people get started on their tech career
It is Anders Hejlsberg, who is in charge of both projects (or was in charge of C#) so the similarity is not that strange.

In 20/20 hindsight, someone in some report somewhere pointed at something the WEO and GFSR did and said, "See? Now we know what we did wrong."

It sounds like more of the same. It sounds like more "trust us, we won't mess it up this time around." It doesn't sound like a fundamental re-thinking of our economy.

The points of failure you are responsible for maintaining decrease significantly, though.

Why shouldn't it be called serverless?

As a consumer, I essentially get to treat it as such - there is no server I need to manage.

In AWS-land this is a big differentiator over a system I have to manage, such as EC2, that just executes containers (meeting FAAS). Now I have FAAS and I don’t have to manage the infra, which is huge because AWS will be far better at meeting a patching SLA than I will be.

Yes, obviously there is a “server”, but I don’t have to think about it.

When does an economist get sworn into this evil cabal? Are all economists part of it?
If you say "yes", nothing happens. Basically, the purpose behind this is to track "tax evaders", even though BSA, Patriot act, and FINCEN regulations sell this rule under the name of "anti-money laundering".

Think of this as NSA meta data gathering. NSA doesn't search metadata every day for some body. Instead, they use the meta data once suspicious person is located by other means.

IRS, FINCEN, FBI, etc want to have access this info on their fingertips.
>Not a great opinion piece with an overly-dramatic title

This is one of those pieces where they claim experts don't understand their own field, so they quote experts from that same field to back up that idea.
It should be formatted better, but other than that, I don't see the problem; yes it is hard to parse, but that is because a lot is going on.
The best option right now for keeping relative imports clean is using the `paths` compiler option to create aliases. This works most of the time but in some cases typescript won't rewrite paths in the javascript output so modules can't be resolved at runtime, so you'll need to use webpack or another tool in your build script to rewrite them.

See: https://decembersoft.com/posts/say-goodbye-to-relative-paths...
I don't see how. Your points of failure were always there, but at most they're more explicit since "service failure" conflates with "network failure" - something I think is beneficial, since you always had to handle "service failures" but they were implicit.

That is - a piece of code in a monolith may fail, and a piece of code in a microservice may fail, but I've already written the code to handle network errors for the microservice case, which means I've also implicitly handled the "bug in code" case.
" If something goes wrong, we can juice the economy by engaging in extaordinary activities which generate the illusion of wealth resulting in increased spending."

This is not what Keynesian economics is. It's perfectly rational for the government to step up their investment in things like bridges and roads as the private sector weakens for a bit. This restores confidence in markets, and keeps money flowing through the economy.

So long as there are savings during the good times, and the projects are not wasted (even though in some extraordinary cases it would actually make sense to dig holes and fill them) ... it makes sense.

Of course the governments ability to 'save' during the good times and to necessarily spend efficiently is questionable.

"Zero Interest Rate conditions are not normal. Never in this history of humanity have interest rates been held this low for so long."

Central banks as we understand them are a very new phenom. Who's to say 'what's normal' when the very construct of our current version of monetary policy is really only a few decades old?

Maybe this is the actual normal.

Maybe because we are getting older, and working an ever decreasing share of our lives, our net productivity is going down and that's being reflected in rates?

Maybe the amount of debt hanging over every economy is a drag on productivity? (Because debt levels are high and this is new)

Maybe surpluses are being pushed into the real economy and captured by consumers who are getting a good deal, so bonds and stocks just aren't getting the great returns they were before.

Maybe we haven't had a war in a long time, which leads to fixed/stagnated human organizations, and without the opportunity for 'ground up renewal' every once and a while, we can't leap forward.

Maybe the benefits of carbon fuels + industrial revolution have mostly been had, or at least, fully priced into stocks.

Maybe we're just measuring inflation the wrong way.

So many maybes.

This could be very normal.

We probably won't know until another 50 years and then only in hindsight.
I like the approach, and I've been considering building something similar. Nice writeup. Is this used only for BI or is it used for real-time queries? The reason I ask is because goodreads.com is slow AF, and performance is a concern for me at this point.
