> Target, macy’s, walmart, jet, etc all face this challenge.

I've been buying more household items from Jet recently because their smaller category is easier to navigate. Plus there's no third-party sellers and no pricing confusion like there is with Amazon vs. Amazon Fresh vs. Amazon Pantry.

> among them search result personalization

Agree 100%. Retailers need to consider the sometimes overlapping contexts of browsing history, purchases, and importantly the current browsing session (with weighting given to cart contents). Somebody currently browsing for food items should see food items when searching for "turkey", not dog food.

My favorite search example that fails without context is "dress". Does it mean "dress", "dress socks", or "dress shirts"? Even if it means "dress", are we talking about women's or girl's dresses?

I did an experiment a few years ago and found that it was possible to improve search relevancy dramatically by keeping track of items looked at and purchased, bucketing by category/sub-category, with an exponential decay and using this to boost popular categories in results. It's terribly low tech, but it gives a lot better results than no personalization.

There's a bunch of retailers that I visit frequently (and purchase from) that force me to search, the filter by men's, and do this for _every_ search. It would be great if they could just learn this coarse-grained level of personalization.

> The fact that Amazon fails to personalize search results is evidence of the difficulty & opportunity here

The opportunity for Amazon is massive. They don't seem to consider my purchase history at all when ranking products, for example if I search for "olive oil", the 31st item is the one that I've purchased three times in the last couple of years and the _only_ olive oil I've purchased.

I've spent a big chunk of the last decade trying to improve ecommerce search and it's a very neglected area across the board.

SEC Asks Manhattan Federal Court to Hold Elon Musk in Contempt
Thanks for the thorough analysis! Very insightful. So the 8+3 structure still simplifies matching: To my recollection at least, in DOS a * would always wildcard out the rest of the filename component (I did not look in the code), so things like FOOxBAR.TXT weren't possible. That way though, the common x.TXT still is.

Read "x" as *, because I could not for the life of me get the star work as a star within a word in this comment.
Actually, the EU privacy laws already forbid loads of data being stored in countries where the privacy of that data might not be maintained.

When the US was ruled as not trustworthy enough, the Privacy Shield agreement was quickly thrown together. That's currently why some sensitive information about European citizens is allowed to be stored on US soil.

However, acts like these (Cloud act, PATRIOT act, etc.) make me, as a European, very uncomfortable. I hope the EU will take action against the US. Russia and China already have regulations that certain information can only be stored inside their own country's borders and MS Outlook still works fine; there's no need for the EU to just take crap like this without putting up a fight.
What a coincidence, I'm working on the core flight system project right now, which includes an implementation of CCSDS File Delivery Protocol. You might be happy to know that project is still very much alive within NASA (you were probably already aware).
In practice most Ruby "DSL"s are just regular libraries that you happen to be able to use without the familiar foo(bar) function call syntax. It's the difference between "Domain Specific Language" and "A Domain Specific Language", or embedded vs. hosted/standalone DSL's [0]. The value that Racket provides is facility in developing standalone languages, as opposed to the embedded DSL's that people make in Ruby.

To address the examples you gave, RSpec, Chef, etc., those literally ARE just using Ruby, no new syntax, no new semantics.

I got my mother-in-law a chromebook 2+ years ago. Haven't had a single support call since then, until she came round to stay and wanted to connect to our wifi to watch netflix.

This didn't happen with a cheap windows laptop, and likely wouldn't have happened with a roll-your-own linux laptop.

A chromebook isn't for me, or you, but it's great for parents/inlaws.

My children are in a primary school level 'English as a second language' program in Australia right now, and my son got a 'Spot's first Christmas' book to take home to read yesterday. So then I had to explain what 'Christmas carolers' are, and why they would be at Spot's door if they're only a thing on the other side of the world? And also - snow? In December, at the height of summer? So that quickly devolved into a long story on colonialism, British world dominance of yore, and what a 'pommy' is . Ah that Spot.
You're right, it's not the government's job to protect business models, particularly if they are considered harmful.

That's a convenient way to pass the buck, but the reality is that this is why we can't (any longer, lawfully) have nice things.

It's particularly hypocritical in this case that the EU itself is a facilitator of its member states' security services getting access to personal data in ways that would otherwise clearly violate its own privacy laws, yet it objects strenuously when other countries do exactly the same thing. There is no principled ethical argument at stake here. It's all about who has the power and everyone trying to grab more of it than they're really entitled to, instead of acting like grown-ups, recognising the limits of their own authority, and collaborating with others in areas of genuine mutual interest when there is wider international agreement on certain principles.

Perhaps we need another exercise in shutting everything down, to show how much the general public and the businesses in each place stand to lose if this chest-thumping carries on. Just choose a random week and then firewall off every US-based social network in Europe, fine any US-based financial services businesses that do any sort of data processing of EU individuals, and so on. And then a few years later, once the inept politicians have been replaced and when the catastrophic economic damage caused in just that one week has started to heal, maybe we can get back to a more sensible approach to the whole issue of international relations in the age of global communications.

Thank you for your time. Somehow I couldn't add a comment when the link was submitted, and the link should really be https://builder.goandmake.app/index.goandmake.html for people to go straightly to the editor, try it and provide feedback.

Your assumption is correct. Our platform uses the language Go heavily, and provides an API for the client side apps. The page builder is a coordinator of the client side apps to interact with the API, and to interact with third party API (such as Github and Gitlab for remote data storage and media library integration. )

By serverless I mean the page builder is standalone, and is part of the serverless solution. It does not rely on a database server or a CMS such as WordPress.

How about if you just do speech-to-timed-phonemes (which doesn't require any kind of language model, just a model trained with people speaking in accents, to produce "canonical" phonemes) and text-to-phonemes (which just needs a dictionary with IPA metadata), and then attempt to synchronize your text phonemes to the audio's phonemes? It'd be the same as the current solution, but with higher dimensionality on the symbols.

I mostly agree. I'm just saying that you might want to stop using soap as well ;-)

Using soap has a big effect on how the UV light hits your skin, the damage it might cause, and the benefits that it might have. Of course this is all speculation on my part, but I am just warning of the idea of picking one natural thing at a time -- natural things go together.
I'm not sure if there are even any true hardware mitigations actually shipping yet. I think the closest we have are products that ship with stock microcode implementing the same changes that aftermarket microcode updates applied to existing products.
The language is built upon a few core concepts:

* Processes are extremely lightweight, orders of magnitude smaller than operating system processes or JVM threads.

* Exceptions should generally not be handled; instead, those lightweight processes are allowed to fail, and an external supervisor process will re-launch if appropriate.

* Assertions about the state of the data are effectively enabled on every line of code, so the processes crash early, before corrupting other parts of the system.

* Data is immutable, which plays a role in making those assertions happen.

You could probably strip one or two of those bullet points and/or add a couple of more, but I think that captures the highlights.

Evolution is a process rooted in randomness. The more faces a dice has, the longer you need to throw it to get the highest number. Or, reversely: the longer you have to throw your dice to get the highest number, the more faces it generally has.

It took "only" < 400 million years for life to develop, meaning unicellular life, but it took 3 billion years for multicellular life to develop. If we apply this basic rule, multicellular life seems the hard thing. Of course though, statistics wise this is pretty crappy ground to stand on because we only have one sample :).
At this point, the board of directors should just demand deletion of his Twitter account.

I admire Elon for his vision, and actually also admire his radical style despite of its unpopular image - I watched the video where he smoked pot on the radio show. It was a really amazing conversation about future of humanity. He just needs to stop tweeting. You may say it’s fixing the symptom, but here if we take Twitter away, he would stop yelling stupid FCC punishable things.

As a side note, Twitter has hardly done anything useful for the society. I never got into twitter and never understood its value. Conversations are one sided, blog posts are separated into incomprehensible chain of tweets, people are insulting with no repercussion - it’s a giant echo chamber of loud people. One thing it has done is to improve customer support by shaming companies publicly, which is a really sad state of affairs.
Sounds like you’re trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. You should ask 20 companies if they’d be willing to pay for this.
I certainly have sympathy - I used to work with a woman who watched Gone With The Wind three times a day, every day. That’s twelve hours a day, eighty-four hours a week, every week. Best part of quittin’ time was not having to see or hear Gone With The Wind until the next day - weekends were never more appreciated.

I quit listening to radio when a local recruiting agency bought every ad slot, day and night, for six weeks. I’m not going to say their name because I don’t want them to ever know anyone listened to their ads or remembers them.

I agree. If you look at the book The Lean Startup, it’s pretty hilarious how hacks like skipping player movement animations led to a “teleport” effect for the imvu product that users loved.

It doesn't necessarily need a very good model of acceleration - you can probably get by with a) time at which a reference event is defined to have occurred, and b) distance to that event. From that and your locally-experienced acceleration you can (I think?) calculate relative speed and time drift.

I'm liking the trend of designing runtime-behaviour agnostic libraries in Elixir. We get such powerful runtime capabilities with OTP, but indulged in the wrong context our cool OTP processes can be imposing assumptions onto our users.

I'd like to see some kind of generic HTTP contract or REST-API client builder library next so we can have swappable HTTP adapters (e.g. Mint/Hackney). I don't want to depend on a library like HTTPoison or Tesla directly when making a client, instead just generic Request/Response structs or protocols. That way an internal project can use a single HTTP adapter across all REST integrations rather than whatever the library author chose to use.

> They're much faster. 50-60% on the single core stuff and 300% faster on multi-core tests.

[citation needed] 50-60% is absurdly large for single core, the reality is 20%, and 300% is crazy. The T480 uses a 15W quad core on the same 14nm process as the 15W chip in the T470 and because it's slightly more power efficient there's a little gain, about 25-30%. So the difference between the Sandy Bridge T420 to Kaby Lake Refresh T480 is perhaps 50% in multi core.

Less exciting, but I found with some reverse engineering that School Loop (basically the same thing as Blackboard) has a WebDAV interface for their "Locker" (file storage for classes) interface. When I was working with it, I was finding that my queries did not work correctly; apparently their client for it did not work either because implementation was borked (which took a while to figure out!). AFAIK they never did fix it once I reported it to them, but the official client ended up being pulled at some point leaving my implementation the only interface to it that I know of…
GPUs and TPUs are readily available in the cloud. Big institutions have always had massive mainframes or compute clusters, but cloud services have democratised access to those resources.

Was that particular tweet the offender, or the two subsequent tweets?

> "Tesla made 0 cars in 2011, but will make around 500k in 2019"

> "Meant to say annualized production rate at end of 2019 probably around 500k, ie 10k cars/week. Deliveries for year still estimated to be about 400k."

The article seems to suggest it was tweets about projected numbers.

Edit:

From the filing:

> "On February 19, 2019, Musk tweeted, “Tesla made 0 cars in 2011, but will make around 500k in 2019.” Musk did not seek or receive pre-approval prior to publishing this tweet, which was inaccurate and disseminated to over 24 million people. Musk has thus violated the Court’s Final Judgment by engaging in the very conduct that the pre-approval provision of the Final Judgment was designed to prevent. "

If you need to manage a fleet of machines for tech-challenged staff, Chromebooks using the Chrome management license is quite amazing, if imperfect in some ways.

Set Kiosk-mode for all the machines and if a user has a problem, close the lid and open again, its working again.

Need everyone to have a new tab in the browser? Update in the management and boom, everyone has it.

Of course, the usage case assumes the users will do everything on the cloud using Chrome but that's surprisingly usable these days for non-tech users.

The license is really cheap for non profits (like $30) but is about $150 for regular businesses. It seems like quite an add-on for a $300 Chromebook but it really turns end-user computing fleet management into almost a set-it-and-forget it appliance.
