> For one, Waymo wasn’t willing to share the substantial technology it had already developed to run autonomous vehicles, and was seeking to cut a deal that would focus on Honda providing the cars

Oddly enough, what they walked away from is exactly what I want! I want Google to be the OS for the car, not some snowflake solution from each car manufacturer.

They omitted some info.

"Honda will take a stake in GM Cruise for $750 million and spend $2 billion more over 12 years to develop a self-driving vehicle for the GM unit that can be "manufactured at high volume for global deployment"

Although 750/14500 isn't 5.7% either, but at least in the ballpark.
Well of course nobody can but as I commented in my note: historically they have been far less cynical about privacy than they have about commitment to open standards.
I've spent many years working for the #1 and the #2 largest installations of computers on earth and neither of them use BMC or ILOMs. So there's definitely a disconnect here between your expectations and my reality.
Neuton: A “disruptive” neural network framework
If only they'd let me do the things I want to do with my phone.
Ah, cool :) if it goes poorly, I’m sure the team would love to know!
That's a rather defeatist attitude to take.
Lots of marketing-speak and broad claims, not very much evidence to support them.

Anyone know anything more about this project and what the underlying architecture is?
You could try a time-wasting count-down after the captcha. The "send" button can only be clicked after 60 seconds passed and you check if the IP matches to make sure somebody is not using multiple tabs in their browser. Still, it seems those spammers are motivated and have time (or found somebody to outsource cheaply to).
Have the text checked by a dictionary and if < 50% (or whatever is needed) fails then don't send the text.
> Software is software, even Linux updates break things. Nothing is perfect.

I don't believe I said otherwise.

> Let's be honest though, as an avid windows user i'm thrilled with all these quarterly updates, fixes, new features and functionality add. It sucked when service packs were years apart and nothing changed and you needed new OS's to use new functionality.

Great for you I guess. Like many people who have to do a job with computers though, I prefer to have things stable and known and consistent for long periods of time. Windows used to be really good at this, and now it is really, really, crap at it.

> Now with a free update we have the linux subsystem, have docker support, Hyper-V updates, improved notification center, dark mode, improved store with books, edge PDF/epub reading is absolutely amazing (and it works with remote syn /page read updates on ios & android!), PowerShell improvements, timeline support across devices and if you use android you get SMS integration, image backup/sync and shortly remote android display on your desktop and many fixes/improvements/refinements

Only about two of these things aren't just new versions of applications that could have been completely separate from the OS. Dark Mode is an especially telling thing to be excited about, you used to just be able to change your theme to any colors you wanted and it'd work for everything that used Win32 widgets, but then everyone started building their native GUIs on web-like garbage heaps, including Microsoft, so now everything is inconsistent and awful and it takes an OS update to change some colors. This is not progress.

> It's never been a better experience to be a windows user..

I could not possibly disagree more. And I feel like your disagreement comes from inexperience with past versions of Windows.
> Unfortunately, it turned out to be a chicken and egg problem. For the feature to work perfectly we needed a large amount of training data to train our models. But without the feature actually deployed, we didn't have any way to collect any training data.

Everyone outside of data science seems really surprised by this and I can't count the number of times someone has asked me to build an algorithm for X but has none of the data to support doing so. It doesn't mean the feature/product can't be built but they often want a supervised learning solution without the cost (and time) of acquiring the ground truth data.
What is “the MSM”?
It's a curious forum we're on where on one day there are jiggabytes spilled over how journalists get technical things wrong and on another, they're so reliably accurate, technology organizations making the case reporting on them is inaccurate must have been infiltrated by men in black and have had hapless employees flashed with a neuralyzer.
It's a somewhat infamous tactic used by a US leader in a war game simulation of war with a hypothetical mid east enemy (Iran of course), he used first a wave of cruise missiles, then a follow up attack of many small boats on suicide runs to overwhelm a carrier force (hypothetically) and won a two week planned exercise in one day, so the folks in charge re-ran the simulation and barred the tactics he used.

I'm glad the article mentioned Twitter's engagement algorithm — I don't think enough attention is being paid to it.

With a different algorithm Twitter could be a remarkably different experience. The current one has a strong bias toward engagement & velocity. It amplifies anger, outrage, and bad faith arguments over less "engaging" content.

If Twitter let off the engagement pedal a bit and re-factored the algorithm, our political climate might be less hostile overnight.

These companies have long claimed their algorithms are politically unbiased. That's not true. While I don't believe they lean left or right, they certainly have a strong bias towards extremism. Extremism keeps you engaged, which maximizes the time you spend in their apps.

Imagine if Twitter instead decided to bias their algorithm towards positivity
Yep. It's the built in "try office" notifications that keep turning themselves back on that make me crazy. Windows is a paid product, and has ads built in. Linux is free, no ads. Why do I put up with it...

Visual studio and games. Windows as an OS just pisses me off, but every time I try to make Linux my primary OS, I realize how attached I am to things on the windows platform.
They've posted a lot of interesting updates since I last worked on that. Might be time to dust that project off.
NetBurst (like the P6 architecture before it) was 3-way decode/3-way retire. (Actually, NetBurst could decode just one x86 op per cycle into the trace cache; the trace cache could deliver 3 uops per cycle if there was a cache hit.)
For many BMCs the second network port is a figment of your imagination. The BMC is capable of intercepting and injecting network frames on the host's interfaces. Just because you have the management port wired to a different VLAN or even a separate physical LAN means nothing.
As a catch-all you could start regexing messages' content and deny the abuser if one of their common patterns matched -- you'll still be in a never-ending game of cat and mouse.

There's also the possibility of false positives, which might mean some of your users' beign messages get rejected. Over time you could event start to integrate ML and NLP, which would hopefully limit the amount of manual oversight needed to detect spam in the future
Structure-aware: if one change sets a TODO item to WIP, and another to DONE, a structure-aware merge algorithm could resolve this conflict, e.g. based on time; plain git needs human attention.

Well, yes, immediate sync should work, all merges would be fast-forward except for a vanishingly rare case of two conflicting simultaneous pushes.

It's not very practical if one of the devices is mobile, so it's not always online, and parallel changes may build up sometimes.
I don't have a lot of experience with mu, but I went with notmuch and have really liked it. It reminds me a lot of the standard gmail interface.

> Aren't many (maybe most) of these fake reviews done through Amazon Mechanical Turk? It's like instead of taking the cost to moderate the reviews, they decided to monetize them. Why pay money, when you can earn it?

I know a lot of them come though Facebook. There hundreds of groups (like this one https://www.facebook.com/groups/amznlove/), where sellers are soliciting fake reviews in exchange for free product and PayPal refunds and commissions.

> Compared to Linux the amount of bloat shipping with Windows 10 is simply unreal. Open up Task Manager on a fresh install and the only two questions I can ask are "What the fuck do half of these services actually do?"

I invite you to list the processes running on a fresh install of a modern Linux Desktop distribution for comparison. There's plenty of bloat to go around.
"EA gets hate because it buys and screws up beloved franchises. EA gets hate because it has game properties that it is clearly milking that would be much better if they weren't in its hands. EA gets hate because it yanks critical content out of its games and makes it pay to download. EA gets hate because it (used to?) make you install their buggy pile of crap online service to play your single player mode game."

Most of it is wrong on many levels unfortunately, I feel like reading someone that has no idea of how the industry work. You think EA as company is screwing franchises on purpose, never occurs to you that the studio that is developing the game is doing the mistakes and EA as a whole has pretty much nothing to do with it?

"EA gets hate because it yanks critical content out of its games and makes it pay to download"

Please give an example of a game where the dev were done finishing the game weeks / month in advance and chose to not include part of the game in the release.

Ask HN: Finding _the_ documentation manager
As every other person/company that cares about good documentation, I'm searching for the tool that will fit best my needs, which are:

* markdown or any other easy-to-use language with highlighting of code blocks

* good full text search - this point discards pretty much any static-site documentation engine because they really don't work well when it comes to full text search.

* permissions - make it possible to restrict users access to certain content depending on policies/permissions

Do you know any documentation manager/store that has all those features?
Except in this case Zuckerberg likely agrees with their cause. You don’t see calls from conservative employees at Facebook to fire Sheryl Sandburg for her support of Barack Obama because the predominant political orientation in SV is liberal.

Have you had this problem on your computer before installing any other software? The problem with most common windows issues is they have absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft. When you have millions of compatible software packages that people install willy nilly, 'debloat' and 'super security' scripts that people seem to think are necessary to save 0 MB of RAM and 3 MB of hard drive space, and just a general population of people who like to 'HARDCORE TWEAK' their OS it's impossible to not run into millions of issues.

As for the problem you've been experiencing maybe this will work?

It's true that decoding x86 is harder, but Sandy Bridge+ get most instructions from a uop cache, which delivers 4 fixed-length uops per cycle. You could make that 6 wide, but Intel doesn't because they wouldn't be able to fill that.

It's not uncommon at all to do AOI on all or a percentage of the PCBs. X-ray is more useful to identify solder issues or defects in the raw PCB itself.
It may be "the root of all evil", but often there's no faster way to solve the problem. We need to accept that shared mutable state is sometimes necessary and work on how to tame it to be maintainable and usable.

Ask HN: Should I be acqui-hired or not?
I've been working at a large non-profit helping build a project that after several years is being bought by a pretty early stage startup, privately funded. They plan on incorporating the functionality I've built into their core platform and migrate all of our clients and data into their new platform. Originally they planned on bringing most of our small (4 person) team over and now it's been reduced to just me since I have the most domain knowledge, technical capability and existing relationships. I've been offered a position with more risk and more responsibility, but after negotiating, the full compensation comes out slightly below what my current compensation is. I've been told it's their upper limit and no movement is possible.

On one hand, I want to see our project 'succeed' and bring it to help more people, for our existing clients to be not be disrupted and have that experience (and line on my resume) of having spun out. It would be exciting to learn more about the industry, have a new role and continue to grow. I'm worried that the new startup doesn't appreciate the complexity involved in the migration or functionality we've designed and will fail our clients. A small side benefit is I wouldn't have to go through the interview prep and rigmarole.

On the other hand, I took a pay cut when I joined this project because I was starry eyed and believed in the vision (and still do). One could argue I already have that line on my resume now. I'm in my mid-30s now, have a family and more responsibilities and was expecting that compensation would go up. There are other startups/companies/opportunities out there that would provide more compensation and other career growth opportunities.

Any advice?
Companies don't jack up prices anymore. They lower their costs (ie reduce labor). It ends up inore profit and doesn't set off alarms at the FTC, which looks for harm to the consumer. Monopsony has been shown to reduce wages[1].

Wow, regarding #1 - am I understanding this correctly? Linus's widow or children can revoke his GPL license of his kernel contributions after he dies unless he covers this scenario explicitly in his will?

Edited to add: Seems there's a 5-year window from year 35-40 after the initial license or grant where the license or grant can be terminated, either by the original author or their heirs, but honestly I have no idea if I'm reading this correctly. This whole statutory terminations thing goes way over my head. I cannot parse this document: https://akbllp.com/introduction-and-copyright-overview/statu...
QSPI has 4 data lines, a clock and a chip-select line.

In order to intercept a QSPI bus, you would therefore need 4+1+1+2xpower lines = 8 pins.

This is not sufficient for QSPI.

Single SPI on the other hand requires Clock, Data, ChipSelect, Ground & Power = 5 lines, so that would be plausible.

(Yes, I know you can potentially get rid of the CS line, but that depends on what else is on the bus).

It doesn't matter how fast the index is, only one process can hold the Xapian lock, if I'm reading my E-Mail in Emacs with mu4e (which invokes "mu server") and try to index on the command-line I get:

$ mu index [...]
mu: mu_store_new_writable: xapian
error 'Unable to get write lock on
<Maildir>/xapian: already locked' (11)

How do you send E-Mail with no network connection? Last I checked this was some ad-hoc thing where you neede dto queue them up in some queue managed by Emacs, and remember to turn that mode off when you were back on WiFi (or hack up your own hooks to automate this), v.s. sending it to a local smtpd which already has retry logic built-in.

Completely agree with the other commenter recommending Rails. It seems perfect for what you describe. I know of no other stack that comes close to it in productivity, and I've tried a few. With Turbolinks and Webpacker you get an SPA feel for free and it's easy to sprinkle in JS where needed.

Is it just me who finds odd they put advertising production and media buying all mixed into "adversiting", yet break it down by media channel?

It's usually: production + media

I read their advertising breakdown as media purchased, unless production is diluted in the value (which I doubt because you can use ads across social media channels for example, despite having different specs).

Or they just don't want to disclose it, which is completely fine :)
