I'm not an ops guy, but it's not really something that can be taught - you need the experience, whether it's with your own project or for an employer. Unless you are talking about those mid-tier IT workers who get Cisco certs and which are being squeezed by the cloud and devops.
Depends on what kind of "elite" school it is. The top 10 engineering university I attended had its own nuclear reactor for its nuclear engineering program and the ability to fabricate chips on-site.

And, yeah, as a low-income student, I did feel unwelcome there. But the education was worth it.
except in real experimentation you control for all the variables except the one you're investigating. So it is not a very usefull thing to compare a bulb with the Sun.

Instead, if you state that "luminescence OF THE 60W INCANDESCENT LIGHTBULB is 400-1200 lumens with 95% CI", then that's the usefull information that let's you set the right expectations when designing lightning for your new house, for example.
You do have to hold the wheel, precisely because you might find yourself having to assess what the car is doing "in a split second", and possibly issue corrective actions. You can't do that unless you are holding the wheel and are paying attention to what the car is doing! But all that means is that the car is not really driving itself; it is however dealing with the boring, predictable parts of the job and leaving the rest up to you - this makes it easier to be attentive, not harder. The tasks where it's hard to pay continued attention are ones where you have to do something that seems extremely predictable, but also has very rare events where it isn't. Computer assistance can actually help a lot with such cases.
The stylized "comic book" feel of Marvel vs Capcom 3, and the "DBZ Feel" of Dragonball FighterZ are the looks that I personally like the most.

Dragonball FighterZ is nothing close to reality, but whatever they did to that game makes it look just like hand-drawn 2d anime.

Whatever Blue Sky did for the "Peanuts" 3d movie was utterly amazing too. It was the first major 3d movie I've seen that faithfully captured the comic style. Its not a video game, but its a similar "art-form translation" issue.

I guess I'm more on the cult of personality side, because I'm not an investor. My view is that Musk is someone who's peeked behind the curtain far enough to be scared and demotivated by what he's seen, and now he's just surfing down the luck plane to see where he lands.

As an observer, it's fun to watch. Not sure I care that much about the impact, sad as that statement is.
Hang on.

Unless something has changed, the Telsa self driving tech intentionally ignores stationary objects.

Within a couple of blocks?? Traveling up to a mile to grocery stores is totally reasonable, it doesn't need to be a couple blocks. I've lived in multiple places in the U.S. that had real grocery stores reasonably walkable to a large portion of residents. Stuff like Trader Joes, Safeway, Kroger… I'm not talking small markets.
Another one is Kobe beef. Real Kobe beef is from the city of Kobe in Japan and is only served in a handful of resturaunts in the US (I think 1 in NYC and a few in LV). So next time you see Kobe beef on the menu- you know it’s most likely a lie.

Bear in mind that those cartoons were often created as an afterthought to toys which had already been designed or, in the case of Transformers and other transforming robot toys, repackaged from other toy lines (which is why one of the Transformers is a Veritech fighter from Macross, BTW.)

Star Wars, at least, began story first... and remained so until George Lucas realized just how much money could be made with merchandise and toys. Star Wars also predated all of the above cartoons so it didn't have that model to draw from initially.

>when we have historical precedent of the opposite being true time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again.

Do we? Because we appear to be in one of several threads about how the ease with which certain content spreads around the internet makes attempts at censorship futile, and I can legally buy a copy of Mein Kampf and the Turner Diaries and read the Unabomber's manifesto and all kinds of stuff generally agreed upon to be "bad things," and I don't see the vast amount of "good things" being censored everywhere as a result of the slippery slope of censorship.

Censorship is applied in different degrees in different places, yes, China is not the US is not Europe, but that doesn't signal the universal certainty that "time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again" seems to imply.

Maybe the slippery slope is just, like, a tiny slope? Maybe it's a slope but it's not as slippery as you think? Maybe there's more than one slope?

Or is it just a matter of time until the boot crushes all of our heads, or something?

You could say the same thing about vanilla, for which Cooks Illustrated was infamously not able to triangle-test a meaningful preference between artificial and real in a baked goods panel (IIRC, the Milk Bar cookbook went a step further and specified recipes that only worked with artificial vanilla). Sometimes, the artificial ("beer-grade") version is a legit advance.

A big problem with truffle oil is that it's too easy to overdo it, which is something you're less likely to do with a $200 black truffle. It's also too easy to add truffle notes to things that aren't really improved by truffle notes. And those two problems compound each other.

It can work pretty well on french fries, though!
Yep that's the stuff I saw. This was maybe 8 ounces.
What about having to have your phone in your pocket and a wire coming out of it into your ears? I've always found that annoying and usually wind up running the wire up inside my shirt so that it's not moving around or getting caught on things. I've never liked having phone holder armbands.

I absolutely loathe working out with wired headphones. Even with them inside my shirt occasionally I'd wind up with enough slack to get them caught on something. Usually when I'm bench pressing or working with free weights.

On the flip side, before BT5 and my S10 I had nothing but problems with all of my wireless headphones constantly skipping. I've actually posted here before that my $200 Jabra 65ts on my S8 would skip just walking to work to the point I'd run wired on my "commute." My S10 solved that, thankfully.

With that said I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack (I'm on an S10 now). I have 2 sets of great (Jabra 65t Elites and Galaxy s10 buds) wireless but if I'm just taking the dogs for a quick walk I throw in whatever wired buds are laying around nearby. Or I'm at someones house/pool and just want a quick way to plug into their speakers.

It really is genius that you charge the holder which charges the buds, though, as opposed to charging the headphones. I can run them (not airpods) down and toss them in the charger for 20 minutes and get a few more hours of listening. Helps battery anxiety quite a bit.
The video addresses that. The experiments were constructed not so that you report "I decided to press the button", but rather by reporting "The state of the world [as measured by this rotating dot on the screen] was this at the time I decided to press the button." And he found that the state of the world that people reported when they pressed the button was consistently 200 ms before actually pressing the button (which is in accord with other experiments measuring human reaction time), but the EEG spike in the motor context were 350 ms before the subject's perception of reality at the time they made their decision, and 550ms before pressing the button.

Most people think of their consciousness as "That part of my mind which integrates all my sensory information into a coherent experience of reality at this moment, and then decides what to do within that reality." You could redefine free will as the EEG potentials themselves operating within your brain - but that's not how most people, subjectively, experience it, particularly because they are not generally aware of most of these EEG potentials directly.
It also has the awesome Secure Keyboard feature, which I haven’t yet seen anywhere else.

Try the Varjo VR-1 which has human-eye resolution https://varjo.com/

It's quite expensive at $5999 though.
You can get A5 wagyu all over the place in the US. The "tell" that you're looking at fake "kobe beef" is when you could take the dish and swap "kobe" for "angus" and the dish would still make sense; so, for instance, a "kobe burger" always going to be silly and shady, and nobody would ever buy "certified angus nigiri".
The first problem is the technology just isn't good enough yet - it literally makes people sick. Higher resolution, faster frame rates, and better tracking can help with this.

The second problem is it's too expensive. Once there is enough demand to scale the technology better, costs can come down. And costs for better screens and chips will come down in time on their own anyway.

The third problem is a lack of content. For the amount of money Facebook has been pouring into VR developers, it's really just sad how few good games there are. The general consensus I hear from gamers is they've just given up on VR, and I don't know any devs who see it as anything more than an experiment right now.

There just isn't anything compelling about VR right now, at least not for me. Even the people I know who used to champion it almost never use it anymore, and many of my friends who used to work at Oculus have quit as they no longer believe in the vision.

All of this is anecdotal of course. The real data point is sales, and they are bad. Look at VR sales and compare them to the Microsoft Kinect, which MS has essentially abandoned and admitted to being a failure (at least for gaming and mainstream consumer applications). If VR is woefully trailing behind a technology accepted to be a failure that was practically force-fed down consumer's throats as MS tried to push it with their Xbox business, it's hard to see a bright future for VR.

It's been years and billions of dollars have been spent, and VR has a couple of indie hits and no killer app.
It's constant-time lookup (only two possible places to check). But if you give it the "return 4" hash function, it will fail to insert after the second or third entry. The result is the same, you have to fall back to something (changing the hash function; making the table larger; open addressing with chaining; etc.)
> Chambers says: Atheists believe god does not exists. This is a claim: that atheists have evidence god does not exist.

No, stating that atheists believe something is not stating that they have evidence. Evidence may support a belief, but it is not equivalent to having a belief, or required for having a belief.

It may, depending on ones epistemological viewpoint, be required for justified belief, but the claim being examined is that atheism is not merely unjustified from a scientific perspective but actually incompatible with it, which would require it to actually contradict some belief justified by science, which it absolutely, even for classic “hard atheism”, positive belief in the non-existence of God, do; you'd need an ultra-hard atheism which not only has positive belief in the non-existence of God but also does not view that belief as contingent and subject to reevaluation should new evidence arise to actually be incompatible with science—this view may exisr somewhere, but if so it is still, at best, atypical of atheists.
I always like the sushi, ginger, and soy sauce/wasabi mixture all in the same bite. Maybe I am weird, but I love that combination of flavors all at once.
Probably, yes. The only issue I see with that is the fact that Raytracing is only supplementing current rendering methods, not replacing them yet. The performance is not there yet. In a few generations we might see fully raytraced games, but not for a little while I would guess.
The source that claimed Google was downsizing their hardware division said that they moved "dozens" of employees. Just last year they finalized an acquisition of 2,000 employees from HTC. What difference is some dozens?

Furthermore, the source didn't exactly do a great job with their research. This is a direct quote:

>Pixelbook is a Chromebook, meaning it runs on Google's Chrome OS software and is only capable of using internet-based applications.
> I'm 100% sure Java is to blame

I shouldn't but I will anyway: People who are 100% sure of things are generally wrong and this case is no exception.

I'm being facetious here but what if I told you that nearly all machines are virtual machines? Your CPU doesn't really execute instructions, it interprets them by first translating them to microcode.

There's nothing inherent to the idea of not coding directly on the lowest level possible which forces your programs to have bad performance. Zero-cost abstractions really do exist.

I mean, Erlang uses a virtual machine called BEAM, erlang programs sit at a remarkably high level of abstraction, and it's not like erlang systems are known for their chronically high latency.

The Android Runtime also compiles applications before running them [1]. The instructions being run are native code in elf files [2].

Certainly Android has had latency issues, and I'm no fan of Java, but that was more of an architectural thing than a Java-Is-Such-A-Bad-Tool-Lol thing.

You're missing the point. I know what free software means.

Free software, in the sense you described, also means you cannot monetize it by applying a restrictive license. Full stop.
"Autonomous vehicle integration test track" could make for a great setting in a spy thriller. The villain could own the megacorporation which makes the cars, and the heroes could find evidence of their evil plot among the sprawling acres of labs and potemkin streets. But then, in the distance, the sound of revving engines...

Seriously though, I wonder if that sort of physical test track will become popular. You would load your build onto an idle car, queue it up, and make sure that it didn't hit any of the silhouettes which spring up, unusual traffic and weather conditions, etc. They must already do that in some capacity, right?
> I think the fact these attacks are happening regularly all over the world normalizes this already.

I think you overestimate how common this style of mass shooting are outside of war zones. Even in places where gun violence is high mass shootings are incredibly rare[2].

Between 1966 and 2012 there were 18 mass shootings in the country with the second most count[1].

Costs. Installing LIDAR will significantly hike up the price of their vehicles.
I was typically using c3.xlarge for CPU-intensive tasks (video processing).

Boot time was OK. I would log in on the machine with RDP, because sometimes my processes were almost frozen for a while. It felt like my neighbours were stealing my CPU, but I did not know how to prove it.

Once I moved to Ubuntu, same instance type, I never experienced this.
I can only speculate. For faces, I'm sure there's tons of manual work to be done to reduce the uncanny valley, especially when it's being mapped onto a different facial geometry (like King Kong). For body movements, perhaps the collisions and interactions with the virtual world require a lot of manual tweaking to get them looking realistic.
Certainly two cameras with different FOVs could be combined to give the same depth data that a stereo camera setup could give, right?
I can see the appeal, but I think that would overpowered and confuse the mixture of flavours.
What are good Linux laptops for 2019?
I'm developer and after a year on a MacBook pro I'm still missing things like i3wm. Also, touchbar of MBP is just a nuisance. On the other hand I like screen, weight and battery life of MBP, best of all laptops I've ever had, but I still want to go back home to linux.

I'm currently considering
1) Dell XPS 15 (but the previous one I've had had only 2-3 hours of battery life)
2) Huawei Matebook X Pro, but I prefer 15" screen to 14"
Heh yeah I eat a ton of that ginger all throughout the meal
Yes, okay. There are implicit assumptions in scientific studies ( e.g.: there are no invisible elephants, or the study we are doing is actually related to the question we are investigating! ). Power calculations refer to the model and not to whether it is the correct model. To some extent we routinely worry about certain types of "hidden from observation" problems: we have zero-inflated poisson models, or we worry about what happens if there is a limited susceptible subpopulation ( that could deplete over time differentially depending on treatment, etc ). But it is not correct to suggest that if a study of whatever power does not find an effect, then a huge effect and no effect are equally plausible.

I have seen outrageous examples of "accepting the null hypothesis" many times, but many negative result studies have great value and even a single negative study can provide evidence against a very large effect.
If google won't allow apps or web sites to offer a curated list of videos, I think it's time to get off YouTube and create a competing service. Perhaps, someone can create a Video Site just for kids.
I'm not sure you understand what "monopoly on the use of force" means. Perhaps you think it's nothing more or less than "private citizens can't own weapons"? But it's more than that. The state decides who is authorized to enact violence, and under what circumstances. The state may say "you can own a gun, you can shoot trespassers on your property." But at the same time it says (at the very least) "you cannot shoot agents of the state performing their duties, or you will be punished."

As usual, the legal reality is more nuanced than the simplistic definitions that you (and Max Weber) are working with. There's been more than one case in the US where homeowners have legally employed lethal force to defend their homes against invasion by police.

(To be fair, I can't think of any other countries where that could ever happen, and it's not exactly common here. It helps if the homeowner is of the approved race and/or economic class, which is a massive issue in itself.)

I'd say the defining attributes of statehood are the ability to control one's borders and customs, the responsibility to defend those borders, and the ability to maintain a monopoly on currency within them. There is really no rational basis for pitting an individual's right to self defense against the definition of statehood. Again, it's an opinion, not a fact, and no Wikipedia articles or philosophy textbooks can change that.

Genuine question. What about the professor's statements were inaccurate or incompetent? Is the sample size really too small? Is the claimed conclusion about free will invalid? Or is the criticism just the dismissive tone toward the student?
Generally investors tend to care more about growth (especially the second derivative), so whenever I see only a zero’th order datapoint, I’m skeptical and wary of strategic omission.

My point is that if you put the drummer far enough behind the organist and have the organist track the drummer by eye instead of by ear, the speed-of-sound-induced delay will match the organ's mechanically-induced delay and everything will sound right.

Another option would be to place the organist next to the drummer, but keep the organ itself far enough in front of the drummer such that by the time the sound comes out it's in time with the drummer. I don't know if there are any organs that work this way, though (I'd imagine it'd have to be either mechanically complex or electronically controlled; the latter, though, gives an option for a synthesized "monitor" that the organist can hear, which should hopefully make the delayed sound of the actual organ less of a mindscrew).

This all assumes you have a large enough stage to be able to pull this off, and (in the case of fixed organs) have actually built the organ such that the sound does emerge from in front of the drums.
