The VRML demo at 18 minutes in really took me back:
https://youtu.be/Bo3lUw9GUJA?t=18m

I remember how convinced some people were that VRML was going to be the future of the Web. 3D graphics in your browser, all coded with a simple markup language! How could it fail?

Ultimately it was just too complicated for the average web surfer to navigate, especially in the '90s. For a while, though, it really looked like the visions of virtual worlds that cyberpunk fiction loved might show up in your Netscape browser.
Concur, I scratch the golfing itch with Zachtronics games.
They are much more comfortable to drive. Electric cars kind og just floats where fossil fuel cars struggles at first. If you have charging at home or at work you never need to go to a gas station, you always simply get in to the car (not turning on the enginge) and go where you want. I think those are the biggest two, but I guess it is one of those things you need to try to understand. There are tons more benefits though, like they are less noisy, the lack of a big engine makes the interior of the car more flexible design wise, the acceleration increases the fun factor even at low speeds, easier repairs, they just feel more modern.
It's not really possible to write a normal word without using one vowel, so this problem doesn't exist at all. The tall letters are pretty cleverly selected in this fashion.
I have seen some specialized image classifiers find a market in analyzing scientific instrument data in academia, outside of that literally nothing else.

But there sure are a lot of stories about adversarial bayesian multi-model deep net retention markov cycle consistent custom asic demystified robust perturbations.

The speech recognition and predictive text on my phone is still awful.
So? It's about the voltage lines. They aren't running low voltage lines to power the street lights.

Do you google?
I find it hard to wrap my head around this question because "AI" is a relative (and moving) target.

Alexa would be considered advanced AI in the 90s, wouldn't it? Google Search or Facebook ad targeting might be, too. They certainly fit some definition of ML.

It sounds like you're thinking of companies that are doing simple data analysis and calling it AI, right?
The problem is not that multiple communities can't coexist. That isn't the problem. Unboxing videos and workout videos coexist peacefully on Youtube.

The problem is when a mob of people decides they want to attack someone (or a group of people) and does everything they can to harass them.

Offering the mob their own place isn't going to help at all when all they want to do is destroy someone elses.
Can you share some pointers to more reading material on algos you consider more successful?
Flashback scene begins.

When I was much younger my dad (who has a print business) was tasked with printing panels for F16 jet fighter pilot cockpit to be used in a simulator of the aircraft. The simulator was developed by a private company. One Saturday he took me to their office. They had one of these and gave me a demo of it. Until then all I knew was of standard consumer computers (commodore, pc, macs etc) . In another pretty big room they had a lot of amiga computers used to make the 3d models.
I then had a go at the simulator. 180 degree screen, a real cockpit, and pretty amazing 3d graphics.for the time. Flew my jet through a mountain tunnel.
I think the only thing that impressed me as much as the simulator itself was the sgi. I've never experienced that kind of futuristic computing power.

Flashback scene ends...
Ubuntu uses Mir, developed in-house. Why, I don't know.
This whole thing is such a phenomenally stupid idea in nearly every way. Foreign companies have had longer to develop and are superior in nearly every single way. Why supress them? The data protection laws are a good idea, though I suspect corruption and surveillance, which the Indian gov wants to keep, will largely nullify any and all benefits of such laws.
Is the original quote talking only about OECD countries? I think it's talking about worldwide.
Why then the manufacturers don’t just buy them back and give you the new one for peanuts ?
i would consider buying an electric car if it were as fast as my hot hatch, had comparable range, and weighed less than 3000 lbs. i doubt that will happen for quite some time.
100$ a month is probably on the low end. A parking spot is at least eight square meters, probably more like nine. Rent here in Berlin is about 10€/m^2/month (so pretty cheap as far as big cities go). Typical houses have three to four stories, so that parking spot could be 24-36m^2 of housing.
So compelling, with a dictator, closed-off information and all. So utterly compelling.
What the GP was saying is that a critique from someone who actively uses something should carry more weight than a critique from someone who doesn't use something because they happen to prefer the goals of something else already available anyway.

This was also the point I was driving at. I do respect the opinions of other developers outside of the Go community as well but as you said, you cannot please everyone. When many of the loudest critics were those who seemed to miss the point of Go or at least we're disinterested in the goals of Go, it got quite irritating to constantly read how "Go is terrible" when clearly it is a perfectly decent language for a great many developers. It's the same thing with the roadmaps, those who criticised it the most were often the developers who werent Go developers and thus didn't depend on the assurances Go offers.
How to report cybercrime in a more efficient way
I held my previous car for ~ ten years (Subaru WRX) and intended to hold the Model S that replaced it for 15. Alas, when the option of all-wheel (dual motor) became available I did sell it to a friend and upgraded. Based on the data from the Tesla Roadsters, they hold up fairly well after years (mechanically impeccable due to few moving parts). Early data from the now ~ 7 year old Model S suggests that it's even better. I known nothing about non-Teslas, but IMhO, Tesla sets the standard that all EVs should aspire to.
...when i was younger and used to hang out on the block we would go into the store and ask them to turn it up cuz its a real kewl psychedelic sound to trip out on...they didnt seem to mind when thier sales, of mojos and bubble gum went through the roof, until they caught the play...
mojos and hubba bubba chewed together was hell on the teeth but made the most difficult epoxy like substance that ended up somehow filling up the piezo element [hey dude stand here and give me a boost up]
Absolutely. My brain tells me I'm hot, and my motor system activates to move my arm, which adjusts the climate controls, bringing the temperature back within tolerance. It's pretty sophisticated.
Yeah I always used to use the PHP implementation from mediawiki to achieve this, for over 15 years I think. However, last week we hit on https://github.com/BYVoid/OpenCC ... not sure which is superior yet.
Less code runs as root than with X, since the server is far more lean.

There should be zero tearing or artifacts in Wayland, and the latency should be lower as well. Both due to passive compositing.

Screensavers are a pointless waste of energy. I'm not sure why you mention them.

In Wayland, WM/DE use IPC to communicate with each other; not X.

In theory you can run multiple XWayland servers to separate from each other. If security is a concern, Qubes might also be an option. And you're still more secure and better performance with Wayland plus some XWayland than with X.
Nice post! Keep up!
DDR3. Does have 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz WLAN which is another minimum requirement. Anyway, though I haven't used it this seems like a nice machine with good bang for the buck. Except when it comes to warranty.
Exactly.

I suspect that the popularity of these types of articles is that it resonates deeply with highly motivated, self directed learners.

Same goes for articles targeting productivity geeks, and anything self-help related

I haven't used it in a while. Does it play nice with plain-JavaScript libraries from npm yet?

I quit using it a few years back because it was a _nightmare_ having to write d.ts files for everything or be unable to use noImplictAny for your own files. `AllowJs` wasn't even a thing when I started using it, but even after its addition, this problem continued to be absolutely disastrous for my project. I remember being very disillusioned with it because all of their materials (website, docs) kept hammering on how effortless and incremental it was to use with JavaScript, yet `AllowJS` wasn't even a thing for the longest time...

I also had very severe issues with its importing of npm modules, even ones that supported TypeScript. Sometimes it would double-parse bundled d.ts files resulting in a huge error output. Other times it would just completely fail to resolve import paths no matter what I tried.

I remember various workarounds like having to define empty modules for each plain-JS import, or using `///` imports for certain files, and it was a nightmare (and I found many similar issues on StackOverflow that were unsolved). The maintainers at the time considered these terrible workarounds as valid solutions, and thus would almost not even entertain reports regarding these problems.
You said:
“The political, environmental, and financial headwinds Apple faced during its time to create the iPhone were exponentially more difficult than Tesla's.“

I brought attention to this and showed how ridiculous of an assertion it was.

And now you're saying:
"I'm not comparing Apple to Tesla. The parent article is. And I'm trying to point out how utterly silly the comparison is."

The other quotes you've added are all irrelevant. You're all over the place. Give it a rest and come back when you have a properly thought out point to make with some evidence to support it.
Julia implementation of the scikit-learn API
You mean in the 'loud pipes save lives" sense? That is just the same as saying "When I go for a drink, I'll first poison everyone in the bar to reduce the chance of someone attacking me"
What kind of products were you're prior company offering before then? What kind of clients did they have?
Yes I really wonder why Tesla did not pitch this, specially for their truck offering. I think it would be technically feasible to replace the battery within 5’ if the drivetrain was designed from the ground up having this in mind. The “charging” facilities would be more expensive than the superchargers, but still...
Executive Summary:

One day that cool sewer--the one I used to hang out at--had too many turds floating in it. So I tried out another one... Even worse! That's it. No more sewers for me. Nosiree Bob!
The feeling is called "range anxiety" and is a very common and well understood phenomenon with people who don't actually own an EV or have just had it for a short time. In reality it's almost a non-issue, especially if you have a car with a battery large enough.

In ~ 6 years, I've only had one incident that comes close (a road was closed and I didn't have the range for the detour, so I had to drive to a super charger).

The truth is that, yes, you have to plan slightly more perhaps, but I'll happily pay for all the other benefits (not least is never having to go to a sketchy gas station).
I used TypeScript with Mithril and I really liked it. I'm not going back to plain JS ever again.
Incapsula response is different however: at some point we urgently needed to implement a DDoS protection using GRE tunnels. An Incapsula eng spoke with us as if he was challenging us to a programming competition puzzle: "I can tell you that you are big enough to implement GRE only if you can answer "yes" to these four networking questions". We went with Verisign as the result, they made things look simpler
I've really wanted to take a shot at a USB-C KVM. I realize this would require USB-C DisplayPort DSPs and a lot of knowledge that's waaaaay over my head. I know some of the ViewSonics have build in USB-C KVMs, but I don't think any other monitor manufacturer has gone this route yet.
> Serious gamblers are at least going to compare with alternative bets, and being able to place more bets over a year with the same bankroll is an advantage if you have an edge.

This is only true under one of two assumptions:

1. Your edge on the long bet is numerically similar to your edge on the short bet, such that making more bets means getting more money overall.

2. You're looking to stabilize your earnings by placing a large number of bets, even at the cost of lower expected gain.

There's no reason winning more bets automatically means more money. The longer bet might have longer odds.
What do you mean exactly ? I've been running a machine learning / reinforcement / optimization service company since 2015 and our customers range from the largest EU corps to small and mid size startups. If you mean how many customers use AI/DL/RL in production right now, it's a smaller percentage of our customers, around 25% I'd say, but growing, slowly. Most is about research roadmaps and testing this testing that, though these can be yezr long projects.

DL integration into or as a replacement to pieces of software stacks, plus long term model updates, measurements, testing and avoiding regressions (very hard, think of ensuring all past samples are similarly predicted as before after a model update, that's beyond simply improving the accuracy) is difficult and standard practice is building up slowly.
I check my spam folder out of curiosity once in a while, and there is nothing in there I would miss. Like some of it is "legitimate" but it's still just bulk drivel, nothing that obligates me in particular to read it.

Right now, I see mail from Google in my filter. Because it's automated dumb shit where Google Photos wants me to look at my photos from a year ago, and I already told Gmail that was spam, and it believed me.

If I miss an e-mail because it was caught in my spam filter, that's the sender's problem, as opposed to pre-Gmail, when it was my problem.

It seems to me that I haven't _had_ to re-train my spam filter by rescuing important ham messages from the spam folder in a decade. Perhaps your experience is different.
Restoring a Game Boy Advance SP – new housing, battery and front light
Most people that balk at the term A.I. seem to presume that intelligence is some capacity unique to humans.

Intelligence is merely pattern matching and goal oriented planning, exactly what machine learning is doing today.

Stop worrying and learn to love the bomb.
Anyone remember "U.S. Out of North America Now!"?
They do buy them back, but the new one isn't peanuts [EDIT: I don't exactly know the current cost of a new battery]. Also: it's not a sudden cliff, but a gradual degradation and 10 years is very conservative.
BTW: I have read that there is a big demand for used Tesla batteries from a sizable DIY powerwall crowd.
No. I own one and regret buying it. The fingerprint sensor is the only useful bit of the touch bar, missing esc key is annoying if you use vim, and the keyboard is pretty terrible, even if I hadn't seen different keys come off or come loose. Have another appointment to get it fixed next week.
Wow, that does seem like a huge amount. On the other hand, 184,567 kg is the empty weight so it's "only" a 0.3% increase. Maybe not so bad since they don't need to carry deicer anymore?
Another step on the stairs to exascale
Uptake has real (paying) customers specifically for their ML based solutions.
To quote the entire sentence, "It seems most inspired by CLU and a proposed future C++ feature".

Note that Stroustrup proposed C++ concepts in 2003, and they still don't exist in C++, but they might be standardized by 2020.

Also note that CLU also didn't implement compile time specialization at all which is one of their core design requirements (for performance).

I don't think this is the particular prior art most of the "generics are easy" people are referring to, anyway.

It's maybe accurate to say that the Go team could have fairly easily done Java-style parameterized types (implemented via boxing everything like Java) and they chose not to do that. They chose not to do that mainly for performance reasons (and the hit would probably be worse in Go than Java since it's more value type oriented and doesn't have a JIT).

A lot of people here seem to value expressiveness above everything, but I think it's unsurprising that that Go didn't want to make those performance compromises, since it's trying to be an alternative to Java and C++ at Google-scale.
Sadly not true - father was a civil engineer in council highways dept before he retired. For years he had been saying that funding was so small they were having to patch roads where they should have been renewing the road bed. Now they can't even afford to do all roads. It might be a problem of funding allocation of course - but it wasn't a lack of desire.
Last week. For some reason just over the past month or so, a couple times Google Hangouts has randomly decided it doesn't support Firefox one day, then work fine the next.

A bit further back (maybe a year or so?), I've also had issues with Youtube and my bank's website. Both of those seem to have been fixed, though.
Ah you mean will it raise LicenseError or something for incompatibilities? No I don't think anyone is going to attempt that.
For me, it just works out better. it's just really nice not having to be constantly focused on getting something to eat every few hours and since I'm not stuffing my face with calories all day I've been able to eat basically whatever I want without gaining any weight.

This captures my thoughts exactly on it as well. It's just so convenient - the health benefit seems like a bonus.
PyCall.jl: call Python functions directly from the Julia language
Because they actually tried it and the demand was not there. They had a battery swap station in LA.

I posit that the people enthusiastic about battery swaps aren't EV owners [yet]. There are too many practical issues with battery swaps, and larger batteries and superchargers are simply better answers.

Battery swaps will never be a thing.

EDIT: Better Place(TM) were pushing this very concept and had a LARGE presence in pilot countries, including Denmark. They flopped.
Not necessarily, specialisation is only argubly required for unboxed types. Java actually implements "Generics" without any specialisation at all, it boxes all the primitive types (rather controversially).
While for the general population it might be true, I disagree about this statement refering to Hacker News. For devs I think the main issue with this buzzwords is that it's seen as overengineering for SMB.
Better, why do people think they can predict long term dynamics of what is basically a chaotic system? I think finding some small local dynamics is fine, but applying a neural network to try say something about global long term dynamics complete garbage - ie long term weather simulation, stock markets etc.

Chaotic systems can be deterministic, just that you will never be able to accurately measure all the variables to make a long term prediction accurately.

In the weather example, people know the equations that approximate how it works. Why value does a neural network bring? Knowing the equations is better understanding.
The quantity of physical spam I get through my letterbox suggests charging doesn't cure spam -- although I admit it reduces it.
I'm still reluctant to use TypeScript given that it has a serious type narrowing bug that is two years old! You'd think Microsoft could have sorted this out by now.

If anyone is looking to get into machine learning, I've found "Introduction to Data Mining" very useful:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17808349

First edition: http://www.uokufa.edu.iq/staff/ehsanali/Tan.pdf

Also see "mining of massive datasets" usually available at this link, but it seems to be down: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/mmds/book.pdf

Which leads me to another point: Many of these books cost $100+. If you don't have those kind of resources, try Library Genesis. It's been very helpful for getting started.
Could this approach be applied to a metric monitoring framework to give earlier/more accurate notifications if when a threshold would be crossed?

Typically these are triggered when e.g. 90% of a threshold has been crossed.
We’re not in this position because most people give a real crap about the ecological impact of their actions. They want to make a difference only when it doesn’t entail giving anything up. If you think that enough people will buy into electric cars for high minded reasons to make a difference, just how do you think we got into this situation to begin with? Do you really think the average American, Russian, Chinese or African person cares more about their environmental impact, or a cheap, fast, car? The evidence strongly points one way. People won’t even stop flushing wet wipes because it’s mildly inconvent for fuck’s sake.

Until the average electric car is at least as useful and no more expensive than the average ICE car there is no contest. That might be a good argument for imposing the cost of the externalities of ICE on people, but without that, dream on. “Good enough” isn’t what a “significant” fraction of people today give a shit about, unless they’re paying less for it.
In the comment you're replying to, I said that the quality of any particular spam filter used to matter, and doesn't anymore.

In 2006, Google definitely had the best spam filter. Now, instead, it has the harshest consequences to being caught spamming.
Are you using the free plan, or the personal paid plan?
What about dropping corporation tax to 0% and then treating capital gains as income?
What do you mean by “unitary evolution is a theory where nothing changes”?
Arrow is basically a dataframe format. It's not really suitable for building data-structures. Eg one of the things Blobs is being used to implement is a Bε-tree (http://supertech.csail.mit.edu/papers/BenderFaJa15.pdf).

Blobs is less a data-format and more a replacement for C's ability to cast arbitrary memory locations to structs.
You mean the rich, temperate parts of Western Europe, most of which could fit inside Texas? Sure. If you’re being more honest it’s the urban areas of the richer, temperate parts of Weatern Europe, which is an even smaller geographic area with a total population that’s less than the US, or about 1/5th of China or India.

I love cycling in Paris and Amsterdam, not so much in New York City in the winter. I also wouldn’t love to do weekly shopping for a family of 4+ using a Segway and public transportation.

It's been quite a while since I visited NYC so forgive me if my memories are outdated, but when I was there, parking meters were commonplace along the roads. Would it not at least make sense to slowly replace those with combination parking meter + charging station, which might be easier for the city to monetize in the long run? I realize this doesn't solve the home-side storage problem, but it might be one way the infrastructure could move forward in common hubs.
Most importantly it transfers the liability for the battery health from the user to the manufacturer which would be a huge pro-ev argument for commercial purpose vehicles.
I've used a protobuf library for Arduino that was zero copy... A lot of callbacks to do something with each new thing that's read.
