Usability-wise, there's a huge gap between even low-effort and no-effort actions.

Another upside of a single binary is that it's not easy to modify; you can even sign it. Quite an upside if you want to audit what you deploy to your production that handles millions of dollars.
The Obnoxoious Neighbour
First off, I get that it's unfortunate they aren't detected by Python itself in some form of compile step, but that's a cost of using a dynamic language.

But they don't use the tools created to catch these kinds of errors, and complain that they aren't protected against these errors? There's a fairly large disconnect there. Hell, I have protection against this built into my VIM install. Not running these basic tools is tying a hand behind your back.
I'm a Montreal, this is pure spin.

The 'low unemployment' bit is funny considering how many underemployed, homeless and in betweens there are. I don't remotely buy it. The economy in Montreal is reasonable but soft. I guess compared to itself in 2001?

The AI hub is correct for now, that might change.
> Externalities involve regulation

Regulation is one possible response to externalities, but externalities don't fundamentally involve radiation.

> and that means it isn't real economics to the laissez faire believers of the magic self-correcting free market.

To be fair, there are more pragmatic laissez-faire types that acknowledge the existence of externalities but merely deny that regulation mitigates them in practice, suggesting instead that if you respond to an extension with regulation you've now got two problems.

And even most people who aren't hardcore laissez-faire types acknowledge that regulatory capture is a real thing.

For those who lack the generics, I just wanted to remind that you can "script" in Haskell by adding this to your header:

#!/usr/bin/env stack
-- stack script --resolver=lts-12.2

and run it as an executable if your machine has stack installed. If not -- compile it with a `stack ghc --resolver=lts-12.2 ./file.hs` and you'll have a `./file` executable. No project creation, no need to list the dependencies.
How legal is this? If those places wanted to have open WiFi, they wouldn't have passwords in the first place. Or, at the very least, just write them on the wall. A detour via that app looks rather dubious.
I've gotten more months of free Amazon Prime from UPS Mail Innovations packages that missed the "guaranteed" delivery deadline than all other sources combined.

> dealing with radiation

I can at least answer this part of the question. (I have had NASA contracts working on radiation tech, though not in that sector currently)

You can use COTS. Just depends how reliable you want it. There's a good interview on EEV blog with one of the XPrize contestants. [0] He talks in detail about how they handle radiation (they basically don't and hope for the best).

If you have a mission critical design or are sending to a more extreme environment, like Mars, then you actually have to deal with radiation. Commonly this is done with rad hard chips. Instead of silicon they use sapphire. Sapphire is what is considered rad hard. Downside is that these chips tend to be older and not nearly as powerful as current technology. They will also encase more vital parts in tungsten (especially see Jovian probe designs). Good news is that there's lots of work being done to determine how to make COTS viable (also a LOT cheaper). There's plenty of NASA SBIR/STTR topics on the subject if you want to try your hand at it AND get paid! Note: many abstracts for proposals are public, so you can see what others are attempting.

As for LEO and MEO, again it depends on how mission critical you are. Companies like Planet Labs (LEO) don't really concern themselves with radiation (most cube sats don't). They will just reprogram their satellites or take the hit. Typically GEO satellites are very rad hard, because the nature of the mission is to be there a long time and it is extremely expensive to get into that orbit. Typically they go with the tungsten box and rad hard chip design.

On the ISS they do a fair amount of research testing shielding. But they are also concerned with debris. So while you may know about aluminum other materials that are good also include Kevlar and Spectra (Ultra High Molecular Weight PE: which is used in grocery bags). People are experimenting with doping these materials, interweaving, different layering conditions, and all sorts of things. Pretty fascinating (and frustrating) work. Hydrogens help get rid of neutrons but you need dense materials for neutrons AND everything else. Note: ISS is in LEO and though you'd get lethal dosages on extended stays with no shielding, rad levels are fairly low.

Btw, lots of this work can be done with only some basic understanding of particle physics and can be tested with open source tools like GEANT4[1]! (there are better non-open source tools) Since it is one of these extremely large solution spaces, who knows, you might get lucky! You can play around with different low density materials (like plastics) and high density materials or metals. Goal is light, cheap, and effective.

The article says it traces the “oldest intact building in each US state”. Wikipedia says that only a “portion of the structure [the Pirates’ House] was built in 1734”. It sounds like the latter doesn’t match their definition.

Looking at the table of contents, it seems like an implementation oriented version of part 1 of "Semantics Engineering with PLT Redex" by Felleisen et al. Anyone know what abstract machine it uses? I'm guessing Landin's SECD machine since that seems to be the most common.

> Your view of what the very wealthy have an interest in is naive.

I find it very counterintuitive that the very wealthy do not invest the majority of their wealth in healthcare research and longevity. Given that they have wealth, surely if they were selfish, there is nothing more important than making sure you can live long enough and are healthy enough to enjoy that wealth?
_if_ it was, then I'd be using that brush instead of the other. but to be honest, most languages are pretty much the same
Doesn’t stop you from passing in wrong arguments, your function requires an int and you give it a string because you typed the wrong variable name there, or you mistype a keyword, which is never caught by the compiler, and you end up with nil floating through your app.

So you’re obviously speaking from a position of no experience, and don’t understand legislation (laws are far from black and white, one of the reasons why a court system exists), and have gone as far as to present a strawman / slippery slope argument.
The allure of “the country”, for me, is getting way outside the cities.

I technically live in a city of 14k people, but it’s the largest municipality in the county. I’m about two hours from anything that can reasonably be considered a “city”, in a quiet neighborhood where there is practically zero traffic after 8pm or so. This was the most isolated property I could find that’s still got good Internet access.

Price-wise, there’s no comparison. I paid about $120k for a five bedroom house on half an acre. We were looking at townhouses in the last place we lived (Charlottesville, VA) with a tiny yard and half the living space that were going for $325k+.
Sorry, should have written "government debt" rather than "central bank".

The thing is that investments aren't just a "stock" they're a "flow"; they don't just sit there they cause a real transfer of income in the form of dividends, bond coupons, and "rent" generally.

I was talking about the OSX "photos app" - an iPhone typically won't have enough storage to hold all photos at once, so doesn't seem like the best way to transfer photos away from iCloud.

An exploit means that someone can remotely gain permanent control over your iPhone, including the ability to record conversations and/or initiate activity on your behalf. iOS exploits have been possible via SMS/MMS and WiFi, so even turning off Web and Email won't make it secure.

While not quite actual rovers, NASA hosts the Robotic Mining Competition every year. [1] The gist of it is they're using a university competition to see lots of prototypes and innovative ideas. They can build a prototype every year or two, but they can see 40-50 ideas and how well they work at RMC.

Phil Metzger, a scientist who was at NASA Swamp Works for many years and is now in academia, has attended the competition every year. He also ended up at the top of Hacker News 4 months ago in an unfortunate situation. [2]

I don't know, but you have to look at what the major shareholders - who are the beneficiaries of Apple's profits - are doing. My guess is that they are consuming significantly less than what they earn. That in itself makes their behaviour altruistic - they add N$ of value to society (represented by their profits), while they personally consume only M$, where my guess would be M << N. The rest of their wealth is probably investments - that is, them using their skill to allocate and manage resources for the benefit of others.

But I would not mind the very wealthy going on massive consumption sprees where the consumption is in the form of very high risk grand projects - like longevity research or space exploration.

Compsci researchers arent the best people for predicting societal impacts of technology. It is a different skillset. People are not anywhere as predictable as machines. You need focus groups, blind studies, and linguists to build your survey questions. And you need the patience to work with people who really dont care to learn anything about technology. Many a predicted revolution has been laughed away once the non-techs had their say.

IIRC from my biology book, the nerve for controlling the voice box goes from the brain, down to the heart, loops through the aortic arch over the heart and then goes back up to the voice box.

In giraffes this nerve can be 4 meters long.

The likely reason for this layout is that the nerve originally routed to the gills, which were on the height of the heart until the neck extended and the heart moved lower in the body.

Sure. I would put that sort of more in the high level engineering than "real-world testing" though. I mean if you are Waymo you can drive around for a year and see what happens. If you are Audi you can still repair some fault after delivery and redesign the next model year. It is when you can't do that you need high levels of quality assurance, integration, fault tolerance etc. If anyone could teleport small objects to Mars it would soon be littered with smart phones in aluminium foil regardless of how harsh the environment is ;)

I don't have experience with this yet, but the CEO of comet.ml gave a demo of it at work this week and it's brilliant. You install 1 pip package, add 1 line of code, and you've got a log every time you train your model (with a diff of what changed). Super-easy to use and share with your team.

I'm thinking one cool use case is: easily let several team-mates try out different model hyperparameters, and you just pick the best one (easy to see in the comet.ml online chart)
As a Canadian-U.S. dual citizen who has spent my whole life in Canada, and most of it in Toronto, I honestly can't justify settling down in Ontario. The taxes are high and complicated, the services are subpar (and I don't use most of them), and Canada largely lacks the civil rights stability enjoyed in the U.S. under the Constitution (as currently amended and interpreted), particularly regarding freedom of speech and the bounds of unlawful search.
Can you quote any hard references, like the post you're replying to? Using your anecdotal method, I can say Montreal has a culture that doesn't expect everyone to simply be job focused, which you may interpret in your own way, but there is a lot of support for low key lifestyles (low cost childcare, co-op ateliers in every neighbourhood, etc) and the cost of living is quite low. Regardless, the economy is doing well, unemployment is low and the homeless population is average for Canada. Large parts of Montreal may be inscrutable to people who don't speak french well (like me) but it's still a great place to live, IMO.
This would be super-useful if it could do smaller scales (e.g. 10 minutes walk)

The point here is not speed (that will come), the hope is it will bring privacy to your computational needs along with cost reduction and a little reverse crowdfunding ... perlin is a new distributed computation platform to spread execution of your code across disparate VM running on non-traditional machines. Goal here is to compete with big boys who run cloud VPS hosting services such that folks with spare cycles rent their hardware so other folks can execute their code ... to quote :

"Researchers, developers, startups and enterprises incur excessive costs to power up the cloud machines/instances they rent from centralized cloud computing providers.

Perlin is creating a decentralized, trustless cloud computing marketplace which delivers massive computational throughput and power with the ability to attain high transaction volume and market activity, effectively reducing the cost of computing power."

https://www.perlin.net/

More to the point and I quote :

"Decentralized cloud computing.

Perlin’s compute layer is bootstrapped on top of it’s DAG-based ledger unlocking a plethora of underutilized compute resources from everyday devices, to form a decentralized cloud computing marketplace that combats the inflated pricing models set by the oligopolistic cloud computing market."

"Perlin is the first practical, trustless and decentralized cloud computing marketplace that leverages underutilized compute power in everyday smart-devices to make supercomputing economically viable and accessible globally. This is achieved via a DAG-based distributed ledger using Avalanche consensus."
