Is there a quota on that ? If not, I predict this will follow the same pattern it took in Western Europe, where low-cost of labor Eastern Europe companies are slowly taking over long distance trucking. The limiter of the rate of change is the number of available EE long-distance drivers, which the companies hiring have vacuumed clean.
This is an issue if the non-AI company using humans is not profitable (supported by VC funding) with the goal of "eventually replacing humans with AI". If they are not transparent to investors about this point, then investors may have preferred to invest in a company that already has AI that works well enough (but not as well as the humans in the first company). Perhaps the first company will never be able to build the AI, leading to a market failure.
My theory is that it's not so much our brain creating a feeling of detachment and Contentment but rather the brain reverting back to its initial state.

I'm not a big fan of PL/SQL. Almost nobody is, so your approach is standard.

It's ok if all accesses to the database go through the primary application. Triggers and stored procedures make more sense when a database serves multiple applications possibly in multiple languages. Think of the db as the microservice in front of the data store. Simple stored procedures are no that bad.

I agree (and often use the same example of cars). I believe the reason is simple and sad - UI is meant to sell your product (or more likely these days, service). UI and UX panders to new users because that's who they have to impress; after purchase/subscribe decision is made, their feedback rarely matters (and there are plenty of ways to make them stick around, including exploiting sunk cost and network effects). Add to that the fact that regular users accept what they're given, because they have little experience to know things could be better, and you have a perfect recipe for UIs promoting sellability over user productivity.

Thankfully it's not an issue for me. Elixir/Erlang is pretty much perfect for most of my use-cases :). But I foresee a few projects where NIFs or perhaps using Elixir to 'orchestrate' NumPy stuff might be useful. Most of my work would remain on the Elixir side though.

It's a concern, yes, but actually has been around for more than a decade, and is showing absolutely no sign of slowing down or going into hibernation.

I have just seen a ... competing language team spending developer time on purging the code of what they call ableism. apparently it's now offensive to talk of a sanity check ot to facetiously refer to OCD in a comment.

At least we may hope the Nim team lacks manpower for such idiocy.

Right. When some application of AI (voice recognition and OCR for example) starts to work properly, it stops being called AI. Almost by definition the field of AI is the field of unsolved problems.

When simultaneous translation becomes a product, its makers will stop claiming they do AI, and start claiming "we used AI to create this."

This is only a problem when credulous and powerful investors (a dangerous combination) get caught up in the hype.
There's a thread on rust internals where planning is taking place for a long-term strategy for RLS. It looks like end of 2019 might be a realistic time frame for a compiler-backed RLS. The good news is that it looks like this work might have some significant benefits for incremental compile times too :)

A "tourism experience" can be whatever you want it to be. If it's a cliche maybe you're doing it wrong. As a tourist I always enjoy getting the "local" experience, I take the regular buses or the subway, I visit the "regular" parts of the city, sometimes I take the bus and ride it to the end of the line and back. I take long walks through residential neighborhoods that are never on any tourist map to see how those people live and organize things. I walk on side streets to see what's behind the curtains of the touristic city. I go off the beaten path because that's where I find the most interesting things.

The one thing I try to avoid is testing the rush hour traffic as a driver. This doesn't mean I don't pay attention to see what that city/country has done about it and how they're tackling it.

Many people just hop on the tourist bus, go straight from the hotel to visit the handful of famous attractions and call it a vacation. Good for them I guess, although I find that just marginally better than Google Street View.

Any experience can be a let down or a cliche if that's what you planned and executed. You get to experience more or less exactly what you bargained for.

Ugh. It is a bit like saying that people don't earn money to buy things, but earn money because they buy things! By this line of reasoning when I go to a store, I am totally unconstrained by how much I earn - I just take my credit card, swipe it and buy whatever I want. Now, this strategy would be unsustainable in the long run if not backed by sufficient inflow of cash from my employer. So I have to work every day. But these are totally separate processes!

A lot of bookkeeping gets done, assets and liabilities change hands, but in the end it can still be described simply as "people earn money and buy things with it."

Reverse Turing: people with such narrowly defined work that an unbiased observer cannot distinguish them from an AI
The overhead is really minimal. I happened to have an old program around that uses LuaJIT or Lua5.1. It calls a two functions that each increments a C int. Using the FFI, calling this function 500 million times takes 0.7 seconds. Calling it as an old-style exported function takes 5.4 seconds for 500 million calls. Disabling the JIT increases the FFI time to 32.7s and decreases the old-style time to 4.7 seconds. On Lua5.1, calling the function takes 6.7s. This is in no way representative of any reach benchmark, but as you can see: Lua is pretty fast.

what you're describing sounds exactly like an anxiety/panic attack (I dealt with them for years). You become hyper aware of your body and every sensation.

As another reply pointed out, this is one of the two main paths that intense experiences can go down. I have had psychedelic experiences that were just magnified panic attacks and similar to what you described. That is one path, and usually comes about from resisting the experience. The other path is relaxing into the void/ego death/<insert descriptor here> and going with the flow. This will normally result in what the quote describes.

This is why it is always concerning for me when people recommend psychedelics to anyone without knowing what kind of person they are/what state they are in. For trips, context and intention is EVERYTHING. If you are able to relax in the face of uncertainty and trust the experience, then you can have life changing experiences. If you are in a bad state of mind or if your life is in disarray, that will be magnified and you can also have life changing experiences, but not in a good way (I didn't face major anxiety before a bad mushroom trip).

Psychedelic experiences are built upon the psyche of the person experiencing them, so people can have exact opposite experiences taking the same dose of the same substance depending on their state of mind.

If you were writing naive code, it probably wouldn't be that much. Maybe a 2to 3 times difference. But the thing with Terra is that you can be even faster than naively-written C if you know what you are doing.
Boost isn't being maintained? I did not know that. One of the project I use often - F/OSS but I'm a user, not core developer - uses Boost for C++/Python integration. They chose it many years ago. This topic has never come up on the mailing list or user group meetings. I suspect that since Boost "just works", no one has care to re-evaluate that decision.

Thanks for the pointers to what's going on in the C++/python integration layer. I'll experiment with it.
Germany, as one of our C-levels was German. Despite of all taxes, bureaucracy, scarce microelectronics talent. All that wasn't as important as the ease of initial setup.

For top five, those were your expected Eastern European countries strong in programming: Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Bulgaria. In the end, purely going there for tax advantage didn't worth the effort. We calculated that net difference for an office of 5~7 people was no more than 17% as long as we repatriated the revenue. All our senior staff has contracts with fixed net income exactly because we expected that they will be moving around a lot. Were they to receive their net salary in Bulgaria as regular salaried employees, their net tax would be approaching 50%. There, we would be clearly not gaining much over Germany, even if we were to include corporate tax into calculation.
Chances are there would be corroborating evidence to the contrary, since it's not often the President does or says anything without multiple witnesses and cameras being involved. In that case, it might be easier to impersonate them through their social media accounts.

You can think of it another way: why do we feel stressed in dangerous situation and pain when we are wounded?

Stress is us preparing for fight of flight, which is good for survival. Pain prevents us from further damaging our body. Stress overrides pain because your future well being doesn't matter if your die now.

Now, when you are near death, when you know there is nothing you can do, stress becomes useless, because you can't flee or fight back. So there is no downside to detachment and contentment.

Now the advantage may be that it may be the best response if, by chance, you survive. You don't overwork yourself, you are less likely to suffer mental breakdown afterwards, etc...

Keep in mind that everyone who experienced NDEs survived, obviously. So NDEs are not death experiences, more like survival experiences.

Not sure if big companies are the best place to realize most visions. Google seems to make a mess of almost every new product they put out nowadays. They simply don't care with all that revenue.

That is also how I work when I am at my most effective. As a Lisp programmer, I especially like: “You can magnify the effect of a powerful language by using a style called bottom-up programming, where you write programs in multiple layers, the lower ones acting as programming languages for those above. If you do this right, you only have to keep the topmost layer in your head.”

I work for a company right now in an office and the only way I get uninterrupted time slots is to either start work very early in the morning or occasionally go home for two hours when I need quiet heads down work time. When I work at home as a remote consultant I usually do 4 to 5 hour sprints and my wife and my pet parrot usually don’t interrupt me. A five hour sprint starting early in the morning followed by four hours of exercise and relaxation, then another hour or two of work is just about perfect for me.

I remain surprised that you should be quite so sanguine about the mutual benefit of giving away data to tech companies. 23andMe and others recently announced they would ask for explicit consent before sharing DNA information with other parties. How a genomics company could go on for this long without guaranteeing the privacy of its users is baffling.

> Apparently. Illumina and/or 23andMe chose to put it on the chip, so they apparently felt it was worthwhile.

'Worthwhile' and 'marketable' to a consumer audience are not equivalent, as I have repeatedly pointed out with BRCA testing.

> My point there was a comparison of the regulatory regimes that genetics companies...

You referenced the sequencing of Icelanders, which was indeed a research project (you've read the papers surely) and not a self-referred program, regardless of what else DeCODE does or is. You can't make a point about regulatory conditions in that setting and transfer it to consumer testing. But are you trying to say that it isn't worth testing BRCA because DCT companies might not be allowed to tell people the result, even though 23andMe are currently offering BRCA results?

> Oh, so the rest of that paragraph...

I would suggest that your ongoing efforts to tell me what I meant in my comment are better spent elsewhere. Particularly since as a privately held company, we don't know 23andMe's revenue, what deals have been made or what their future plans and projections are. What we do know is how much VC funding they have received, and the return on investment that VC's expect.
8 Crypto Projects Worth Your Attention
It looks to me like webassembly, and a standard multi-language bytecode VM, is going to cause some big changes.

The cost of inter-process-communication is going to become significantly cheaper for webassembly-interpreted languages. I expect to see libraries that share remote objects instead of just remote function calls. Sort of like python's rpyc.

I'd like it if instead of writing a web service you simply exposed specially written python/javascript/whatever objects over the web, where they could be imported by your GUI or used as an API by someone else.
Porting iOS Apps to the Mac
A year ago I've started experimenting with Nim as a "faster Python" — put some declarations, change some keywords and you're ready to go — your "compiled Python" is now ~30x faster.

Recently I've used Nim for the first time for an official project at my job (at university). Instead of doing a simulation with Python+Numpy, I've decided to do it with Nim, and just plot the results with matplotlib. The whole experience was very pleasant.

Speaking of interoperability with Python, there is a great Nim library called Nimpy [0], which makes possible to use Nim as a more pleasant Cython — you can keep writing Python, and just use Nim for the intensive/slow stuff.

I suspect this will continue until any such service can be successfully marketed on the actual merit of the actual service provided, without the hype (or even the mention) that it's an AI-based service.
