Perhaps overlooked is that Waymo also is coming at self-driving from a very different angle than the car companies. Waymo, based on everything they've said and done, is focused on full autonomy even if that takes quite a few years to roll out broadly.

The auto makers are more than fine with incremental tech so long as it sells more cars. In some ways they may actually prefer it to the degree it accelerates upgrade cycles. Yes, there are issues with intermediate ~ Level 3 stages. But, in general, the car companies don't really care all that much about full self-driving and, arguably, would actually prefer if it hits the streets later rather than sooner.
The widespread use of the Excel grid layout may explain why people seem to have a high tolerance for improperly-sized UIs.

Personally it drives me crazy to see things truncated all over the place, peppered with useless empty cells, for no reason other than “somebody shoehorned this sparse data into a grid and never looked back”. It’s like people just don’t see how much time they’re wasting constantly doing a mental reconstruction of their poorly-described data because they can’t SEE most of it.

We really need better tools.
I'd be excited to see Baikal have a RISC-V design, though perhaps they have agreements or other constraints which prevent that, or it still doesn't look like a good deal to them. I guess for now it's probably mainly that licensing a complete solution in the RISC-V space raises more questions than licensing from Imagination, and if ARM were cheaper and more efficient at negotiating contracts then possibly ARM as well.

Always up for more vendors stabbing at this stuff, especially if it means more companies have the incentives to consider investing in fabs. Having to choose between a U.S.-centric hardware trust model and a China-centric one seems a little bit lame.

It does not permit relicensing. You may use it in an aggregate work with other pieces that have a different license, including proprietary or GPL, but that does not mean your code is relicensed.
I sometimes ask myself the same question. It certainly helps to remind me of how much I’m not making in the tech market, but also why it’s a good thing I don’t live near Silicon Valley.

I read a thing a few months back about some Western game developers collaborating with Japanese counterparts for the first time, and their biggest surprise was that a whole lot of game data is stored in an Excel file during development. If you want to change an enemy's stats or a physics parameter, you don't dig through config files with a text editor, you just pull up the spreadsheet. Reportedly it made a lot of tweak-test-repeat work much quicker.

Currently, 5000 IU per day. Happens to be the dosage in an economic but reliable source. I've tried lower, e.g 1000 UI, and I've gone as high as 6000 IU. That seems to be the upper end of what is generally recommended.

You'll get all sorts of opinions, and I don't know the truth of it. So many things competing to do me in, I'm not going to worry about it -- one of the other things is a much likelier candidate for COD, at this point.

I started taking it because one side of the family has had a lot of cancer. I was NOT looking for nor expecting any change in mood. That was a complete surprise, and it took me a few days to figure it out. It was only after this -- some time after -- that I started reading of other people experiencing a similar effect upon mood.

P.S. There's also some debate about how many doses per day, IIRC. The digestive tract is not the best delivery mechanism, and ingested D perhaps also doesn't stick around as much -- not like solar/skin generated D stored in skin and fat. I think some people recommend multiple smaller doses, as opposed to one daily dose. I don't know.

I do know that if I run out or otherwise don't take it, I notice the absence (in terms of mood) within a day or two.

Battlefield usually annoyed me when I would spend minutes traveling back to the scene of the action. In Fortnite I would spend minutes just trying to find anyone on the map at all sometimes. It feels like I'm doing a lot, lot more of the unfun stuff (traveling) than the fun stuff (shooting and outmaneuvering the opponents). I just can't get into it myself.

I'll just keep playing Quake (actually I'm mainly playing puzzles and graphic novels right now) until people get tired of Battle Royale modes and need a break from them.
So you're not advocating for rigorous empirical standards?

You've come into this article, which only has evidence that papers written in bad faith can be accepted by peer-reviewed journals (trivial), already presupposing that the field is intellectually bankrupt. In order for me to believe you have the ability to make that judgement, I must also believe that you understand the field. People can be experts in fields without being a member of that field. You have fallen prey to the same false ideological purity you seem to have deemed yourself fit to criticize in others.

Since you're not advocating for rigorous empirical standards, I can only assume you feel the article we're commenting on was pretty pointless. And let's be real here, this article didn't effect your view either way.
We're done here.
That portion of the drug industry is rather surreal. I don't mind folks making a profit, mind you, but I do mind folks obviously taking advantage of people with little real choice.

I'm not even sure there is a one-size-fits-all answer to such things. That particular case seemed to be obviously one of greed, but most cases aren't as obvious. The most obvious (to me) would be some sort of price justification on new drugs, which takes into account r&d (to include a portion of failed drugs, but not advertising), manufacturing, and other actual costs with a certain percent of profits - with increases only rising with inflation or by going through the justification process yet again (to account for changes in manufacturing costs, for example). I don't see that happening soon, though.
If MS ends up launching phones based on AOSP like amazon, it could be interesting. Anything that reduces the near universal dependence on google play services really. My wishful thinking is that if AOSP ends up getting forked by 2-3 major players who become somewhat successful, we'll either get to some open standard for stuff that google play services provide, or webapps will become good enough that we won't need them.

Absolutely, only meant to point out that the media brings out the worst that is already in us rather than corrupting otherwise civil beings.

> 2. Rails' documentation is generated from source, so is Node's. A lot of documentation is.

I don't think that's the problem he is talking about. Whether you put your prose in a separate file or as a special comment in a source file is not a relevant difference. Having prose, and having a sensible TOC, is.

Broadly speaking, generated docs tend to be worthless for smaller, well-designed packages, i.e. those where you can browse and read the code+comments in your IDE comfortably. But large and poorly designed packages definitely need generated docs, because their code isn't easily traversed.

Basically I think generated references are a necessary evil. If your project needs them I think that's a wrinkle on the project.

>People go to a Star Wars movie to see the hero destroy the Death Star!

Speak for yourself... I've seen that three times already (Starkiller Base is just a really big Death Star,) I don't need to see it again.

I'm an adult fan, I do want to see a bit of depth in my space opera. I want heroes who doubt themselves and grey morality and villains I can sympathize with, at least a little, if not agree with. You can have swashbuckling and sturm und drang, that's why it's called "space opera."

It's just a matter of taste whether or not people want the formula. I hate the prequels, but I know fans who like them, and (as much as I don't want to admit it) there are fans who consider them superior to the originals.

I can understand why some people don't like Last Jedi, but I don't think it deserves the degree of hate that it gets, and I suspect that it will be looked on more favorably in hindsight. Although that probably depends on how well Episode IX does.
Porcupine is the same thing, just using latinate roots rather than native English/Germanic ones.
That's not really the point, though.
The event horizon might never "complete" in finite time either, but from the outside it can become increasingly indistinguishable from a complete event horizon over time as the black hole's mass compresses along the surface of the event horizon. Light escapes from the mass less and much less often over time. Black holes were originally often called "frozen stars" to emphasize how from our point of view, the mass never quite made it into the interior of the event horizon. Relevant: https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/a/14239.

It seems like you're just placing restrictions on the term "black hole" that no one else is.

From experience I know that models using RNNs have trouble training with FP16 precision. The common solution is to do training in FP32 and inference in FP16. To make this happen you often have to implement custom code (e.g. using Tensorflow or Keras as a meta framework)
well, my definition is admittedly a little bit of an extrapolation from the greek root (city affairs), but it's common in writings about government and power. that's because you can't govern a group of people without the exertion of power (making people do things they may otherwise not do, like throwing trash on the ground as a benign example).

so you don't necessarily need a separate word or phrase for the observance of political parties and other governmental actors as they exert power--that's just "watching politics".
That’s never been substantiated beyond a theory. The same question would exist for that theory as well.

Also this bit from Connecticut Yankee

"She had exactly the German way; whatever was in her mind to be delivered, whether a mere remark, or a sermon, or a cyclopedia, or the history of a war, she would get it into a single sentence or die. Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him till he emerges on the other side of his Atlantic with his verb in his mouth."
My high school history teacher used to say "there is such thing as a stupid question: it's one that you have the resources to easily answer" and went so far as to tell people that she was not going to answer a question that they had in class because it wasn't a good use of time.

I feel the same way about technology questions. I'm really glad to help when someone asks something that they have looked into ahead of time, or if they're interested in learning a skill that they know I have rather than just getting me to do their work. It really annoys me when someone has just not put in enough effort and would rather have me expend the effort in solving their problem.
> I don't know where you live, but I don't think receiving an item from Ali Express in 1 week or less is normal, unless maybe you live in mainland China. I'm in the US and I really think I've never received something quicker than 2 weeks.

Shipping options and delivery estimates are displayed in both search results and each item's page.

A good percentage of items do have delivery estimates that exceed two weeks, however either faster paid shipping options are available or other suppliers will offer the same item with a shorter delivery estimate.

You can also sort by the country an item ships from. There are increasingly more distributors in North America than there were a couple of years ago.

> I just don't believe that Amazon does not generally provide cheap products conveniently. There are outliers, as with everything, but I think it's the norm that the prices for the majority of products are competitive, and the user experience is convenient.

That hasn't been my experience, unfortunately. I used to use Amazon for the majority of my online purchases because they consistently had lower prices. Eventually, they became my supplier even for goods I'd buy in person.

However, as of last month, Walmart will ship the last item I regularly bought in bulk from Amazon at a lower individual retail price.
It depends on how permissive Fuchsia becomes, and whether Google wants to play nice or not — at this point it could go either way. The sticking points (I think) will be security policy and market positioning.

An interesting thing that a lot of people will find unacceptable is that a lot of banks have desks that exist explicitly to exploit this type of loophole. It's very lucrative. It's also pretty technical, you need to know a lot about the laws that apply to each country along with all the mechanisms for getting money from the authorities. Not something your average trader knows. I certainly did not until I made friends with some of these guys.

As for this claim that the guy makes, that he's just exploited a loophole, none of the guys I know in this niche believe that. There are also plenty of rumours surrounding his character, in the sense of "is he an honest guy", along with stories about how he might be lacking in the scruples department. None of which is hard evidence, of course.
On the one hand I'm excited about Oculus Quest's promise for untethered VR. On the other, it's built on the Snapdragon 835 (last year's flagship to keep costs down) and I can't help but wonder what they could do if they had Apple's hardware instead.

Of course Apple's only publicly interested AR stuff with their phone-based ARKit, but media and gaming are huge markets for them. I don't think an Apple VR headset is out of the question, and it would 100% be an untethered device like the Quest is.
Awesome to hear that! Would love to check out your work if you have a link / video or anything like that!

We actually forked CEF - and had to make a few changes to allow for integration in the way that we needed. We do use OSR mode, and update a texture in that way - although we need this buffer anyways, since we're sending video frames across the peer to peer mesh - so even if we did go straight GPU, we would still have to download the buffer from the texture.

It's a drag, but there are a number of techniques to improve the performance. Resolution is one great approach - since the resolution of the HMD makes having a high resolution on the browser kind of useless, so reducing the resolution also reduces the pressure on the GPU. Also, we can limit frame rate based on the kind of content being used - and also, we can leverage dirty rects to optimize for content that isn't changing. Since we're running multiple browser tabs, the latter technique isn't as useful for a particular page, but makes it more performant when a user is doing multiple things, like watching a video on the shared screen and scrolling through wikipedia or a news site like NYT.

Up until we consolidated the build for Oculus release, we supported OpenVR and still do in our code - just not the Oculus build. We've gotten a lot of interest in the Vive build in this initial release, so might look to reintroduce that. Before pushing to Oculus, Dream would just launch off the desktop and detect which HMD you had plugged in and then launch the appropriate platform. Shouldn't be a ton of work to bring it to Steam!

Any company who uses Deliverr is going to quickly figure out that they have placed their most important business process in the hands of a third party, and that they have very little control over it.

eBay, Wal-Mart, and Shopify are in the business of delivering products. They don't make the products, they make them available to the consumer. Delivery is like 90% of that. This is why amazon runs their own fulfillment centers, it's the most important part of their process.

It would be better for eBay, Wal-Mart and Shopify to merge and compete against amazon as one, rather than fighting over the table scraps that amazon leaves them.
