How does Legion differ from languages like Halide which separate scheduling from the algorithm?

How much of this could get handled by PGO (profile guided optimization) to observe locality and access patterns?

Do you think AI has a place in directing scheduling given enough semantic information so that "bad hypothesis" can get pruned?

Does it rely on a static description of machine (latencies and bandwidth) or does it evolve over time? Can it handle things that are dynamic but are thought of as static like memory bandwidth in a cloud environment?

How does Legion compare to cache oblivious techniques?

Are there changes at the processor level that could fuse operations given the existence of data in the cache, much like hyperthreading can do a context switch on a cache miss.

Do we need to modify what constitutes a Basic Block? Is modern hardware too low level?

I agree with your general thesis. We approach these things as if we're building to last forever, but, particularly in consumer markets, it might be better to view them as more akin to disposable pop culture. The cycles may be longer than say, a restaurant---maybe closer to the life time of a band, or a fashion trend. Each generation has it's own style and possibly wants its own communication platform to go with it.
There's some libs that don't quite work with GraalVM yet, due to some unsupported features. I'm guessing these issues will be solved quickly enough, and then we will be able to deploy small binaries :)

For more of this, I recommend this podcast:

Called Soft Skills Engineering Podcast. It's hosted by two seasoned developers whom experience becoming managers. It's hilarious.

I listen to it when I commute with earpohones, then and suddenly laugh like a wirdo.
I don't think that's a highly informed comment. As far as I'm aware choosing time zones has always been a member state decision, where as clock time changes have been regulated by EU in order to be uniform. Nothing changes in regards to time zone regulation. It's just a political expression to say that you can choose to be in "summer time". In reality there's no such thing as permanent summer time.

The reason why it's politically expressed this way is because there is a strong majority consensus that summer time probably isn't useful, but there's isn't one about which time zone should be used. So expressing it this way makes it easier for the politicians.

I believe end of next month there will be another Talk where the Mill designers will talk about Spectre and Meltdown attacks in relation to Mill (though the spoiler would be that the talk mentions the point "and why Mill is immune" so I guess it'll be a very fun talk).

I do hope a lot that Mill will succeed, it's an incredibly promising architecture.
> I would have liked to have the ability to asymmetrically brake

Yes, I have been in that situation too.

As for brakes.. ABS is very bad at handling hard snow with a drizzle of fresh snow on top. It's nearly impossible to stop. I've had to actually turn off the engine in order to stop the car when driving (slowly) down a hill from a hotel in a certain snowy area, in order not to end up on the main road in front. That was with various rental cars (yes, I go to that place regularly in my job). The first time this happened I thought here was a technical problem with the car. So I asked around. Same experience from others. The cars vary, but they're all much worse than fully manual brakes, in certain conditions.

And then there was the time there was a reindeer (yes, a reindeer) running along the road, zig-zagging in front of the car. Snow conditions as described above. ABS refused to brake. Didn't want to switch off the engine (busy steering), so after about fifteen seconds of this I drove the car off the road instead, safely into a lot of snow.

And people want computers to drive cars, when computers can't even be used safely for brakes?

In any case, I've yet to hear about a self-driving car which can predict that another driver will get into problems in a few seconds unless I slow down or increase the speed, in order to allow a third car to adjust. This is something I see or do nearly daily, on my commute.
This is my impression as well.

Only city in the EU that I've felt unsafe in, granted I was only passing through so that feeling was probably just a manifestation of the city's reputation.

Bahhahaha! I'm so glad someone posted this! I had been trying to find my way back to this link ever since the first time I saw it!

This was part of one of the first threads I had ever read on HN, on or around the day it appeared: 3/23/2013. Actually, I think I discovered HN in late April or early May, but anyway, the user that shared it then, as much as now, also quickly got flagged and hellbanned.

For a brief moment I felt like I was reading a site that had some truths to speak to, but that illusion was dispelled as soon as it was [censored] and the flames were stamped out. Ah well...

Five years later, and I know better. This site is a tightly controlled mouthpiece, and an echochamber in service to microcorporations in search of early retirement paydays and acquisition cashouts, but hey, work-safe reading material, am I right?
Not to be Cynical,Somehow the article sounded like a sales pitch for "Wavesense". They too want to have pie out in the self driving race. As mentioned in the article, each sensor(Radar,Lidar,Camera) has a limitation on its own. But, Self driving cars depend not just on one sensor but on Fused output of sensor. Also, they use V2V, HD maps and GPS/DR for localisation. Wavesense is another sensor that can solve localisation problem. They too might have difficulty in cases where there are fallen metal objects that reflect different signatures, causing trouble. More the sensors, more the confidence for Self driving.

Edit: Grammar & some terminology
Humans are good at improvising. Not using all the lanes when the lane markings are covered by snow, and the road is slippery, sounds like a reasonable strategy. And nobody ever told us that's what we should do.

With autonomous vehicles, you need to plan every situation in advance. Our current AI technologies can't improvise. It seems to me that current AI is basically just a decision tree with some neural networks sprinkled on top.

Without giving away any spoilers, in Spirited Away, if you watch the Japanese version there is an entire uncovered story delivered in the last few minutes in just a few lines. In the English version, the same person just says “thanks!” I think I’d support the idea that generally speaking the Japanese pack a lot more into what you’re watching or reading.
No, someone please do tell Alex Jones about Mastodon. The sooner a problem is encountered, the sooner a solution is found.

The alternative is to bump into that problem farther down the line, where solving it will be much costlier.

And if Mastodon will crumble because of Alex Jones, it would have crumbled eventually because of someone else like that.
The last 2 jobs I've had we've always been told pretty explicitly if the roads are bad with snow DO NOT try to get to work.

Hell, I've been told I've not even to walk to work when it's snowing. ALthough saying that the last time it snowed here badly, I tried to walk to shop and fell over twice. Maybe my employer just knows me too well...
We can only speculate but in this case I'd expect the order was part of a preexisting (or perhaps even prepaid) contract with the US supplier. Or perhaps this company had demands leaving them unable to cancel the contract even if it was possible. With a country of 1.4 billion and certainly the most expansive government in the history of our species, I wouldn't view the Chinese government as homogeneous. Even in our relatively tiny government one segment regularly engages in action much to the detriment or disagreement of another. In the longterm though I would expect this 'issue' to be 'fixed'.

What isn't SpaceX delivering?
I didn't have to (USA). You were able to offer 900mhz, 2.4ghz, 5.8ghz without a license. There are regulations on total output power of a device, which comes from the antenna's dB gain and the output power of the wireless radio inside. I believe there are other higher bands that are unlicensed, but I didn't use those. I built a lot of the equipment using m0n0wall/soekris/pcengines gear.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that SpaceX is regularly delivering and returning cargo to and from the ISS and is the major launch provider for commercial sattelites. Also, the F9Heavy had its maiden flight this year.

Tesla is not only selling the Model S and X for many years, and has with the Model 3 in the meantime the best-selling electrical car in the US.

So how are they not delivering?

As rocket science is.. rocket science, I do expect delays on the schedule. Especially safety concerns can easily make a development schedule slip. Yet, the SpaceX schedule slips seem to be small compared to other space ventures. The production of the first BFS prototype is under way, we are going to see the first test hops next year.
Building up federation connections isn't hard. After about 2 months or so of operating a small instance (~10 users at the time, now about 80) I was federated with most big instances and a lot of smaller ones.

The instances that don't want to talk to your instance are generally not the kind of people you'd want to talk to either, if you're conservative you can generally talk to conservative instances and if you're liberal you can talk to liberal instances and if you're centrists/dontcare like my instance you talk to both (though my instance is heavily leaning on liberal we do have a few conservative instances in the mix).
If you have a bradford pear tree, the best thing to do is cut it down. The weakly attached limbs will fall off of the tree with no warning or apparent cause. I've seen large limbs fall off on calm, sunny days. They are very dangerous.

With social the product is always the network. If nobody uses it, the product is not better at all. It just has some nice features that would be good if a real product was there (the people).

I know it seems pedantic, but you cannot grow a social network with just a platform, despite how amazing it is. This fails time and time and time again.

You need a story that sets it apart from existing stuff that brings in people. Whether it's some disruption narrative, paying shills (a.k.a influencers), or whatever, that's what's required.

This doesn’t feel like what the OP is really trying to convey. At least not with the strict definition provided at the link. My interpretation of OP is something akin to “selling the sizzle”, I.e. being able to get any project bought into, unveiled, etc. with little/nothing, but it’s not quite at the level of vapor ware.

For a very practical introduction to deep learning with Keras, I recommend Deep Learning with Python by François Chollet, https://www.manning.com/books/deep-learning-with-python.

When I was in Thailand on Dtac they had a bunch of packages where you could choose your throttling rate, eg unlimited data at 512kbps or 1mbs, 4mbs etc. Or you could cap the data amount with the speed at max. It worked pretty well. 1 mbs unlimited was good for me - you could watch 360p video constantly if you wanted etc. Maybe 480p if lucky. And the cost was like $10/mo. I kind of miss that in the UK where I don't think any mobile networks do unlimited data.

I'd say the Wind Up Bird Chronicles is a lot closer to the Hard Boiled Wonderland.

1Q84, while it has an excellent rendition of a cult member, is a simpler story, and has a tendency to repeat itself quite a bit. I don't know if this was because it was originally printed as two books or not, that might just be a UK thing.

The Wind up Bird Chronicles starts on this relatively intriguing but normal sounding premise (a mans wife doesn't come home one day, and he finds a receipt for a dry cleaners in her pocket) and then just starts to go nuts, but with each fantastical step being laid on in a coherent enough fashion to take you along with it. Of course, all of this is just opinion.

I'd also recommend his book of short stories - I think it's "The Elephant Vanishes". They are some with really excellent premises.

In terms of other authors, maybe try Borge and A Universal History of Infamy. I think it has a similar level of fantastical whimsy and excellent language

I know some doctors who have work schedules very similar to what you describe. Working around 10 days a month, but for really long shifts, around 16-18 hours (for example 15 to 8 is typical in rural health clinics, so that there is someone to cover emergencies while the doctors with the "standard" 8 to 15 schedule are not working).

Not everyone likes that schedule, but some really prefer it and actively choose it over more "standard" schedules. Especially those who have small children. They have around 20 days a month to be with their children as long as needed, and only have to worry about whom to leave them with during the other 10 days. Couples where both are doctors, and both have this time table, have the kids problem fully solved by just picking different days to work.

I don't know, I pay about 10 EUR per month for my mail server, which services N users. So then it's suddenly not peanuts anymore.

So yeah, I probably don't fall into the normal category here, a handful of friends & family users and a ton of domains. Protonmail/Fastmail would cost me at least 40 EUR per month, and that's a rough estimate, could easily be 80.

Yes. Two years ago I bought EV for code signing to avoid Microsoft Smartscreen.

The whole experience left a stale impression: we were then in the process of switching to non-profit and already dissolved the for-profit company but got the EV for the old company anyway! Clearly the CAs have a moral hazard: if they check too thoroughly they will sell less certificates, so it is not in their interest. In my case they blatantly asked me to provide bullshit evidence for the dissolved company!

No wonder that Microsoft Smartscreen doesn't seem to treat EV certificates as all encompassing truth of existence of something. We had to jump through some more hoops to satisfy Smartscreen, the certificate alone was not enough.
SpaceX is a cutting edge pioneer of the modern space race. Their Falcon 9 rocket represented more than 50% of all US rocket launches in 2017.

Even full autonomy, but restricted to very limited intervals could make sense as a compromise. E.g. up to five minutes of hands-off (and eyes off) per hour or something like that. It looks weird at first, because hey, if the car can drive itself for five minutes, why can't it drive itself for five hours? But only at first glance. I believe that it makes a lot of difference which is the regular case and which is the exceptional. Humans would be terrible at idling most of the time to occasionally take over, but computers can be just as attentive waiting to take over as while actually driving.

Also, that time-limited "hold the wheel" mode would typically be engaged exactly for those times when the human driver is not at their best (tempted by communication devices, tempted by the food basket or just wrestling with navigation), so achieving better than human would be relatively easy.
