But when librarians got their OPAC systems, they started writing reports to analyse lending patterns and identify stock that was not being borrowed, and identifying lenders that had overdue books &c.

So the decrease in effort needed lead to an increase in analysis of the information captured in the system - new uses.

Yes, but I find modern automatics to be frustrating in their shift points. I have a 30 year old manual transmission sports car, with probably less than 140 hp, but because of the gearing, driving is pretty much all done between 2500-3000 rpm, and it feels reasonably responsive. I also have a 6 year old SUV, with an automatic that has a lot of gears, and a turbo engine with a lot of power, but it feels underpowered much of the time, because if you are just cruising it will end up at about 1200-1500 rpm and seem as though it is practically lugging the engine. If it was just programmed to stay a little higher, like 2000-2500, it would feel as powerful as it is. There is of course a "sport mode", but it is too aggressive.

Also, modern automatics tend to change their behavior all the time according to mood. There is nothing more counterproductive than an "adaptive" transmission (or other system). The word "adaptive" simply means that it isn't responsive when you do something different. Which is bad.

> And I suspect that in practice that the fuel economy advantages of stick shift were erased by the "fun to drive" aspect.

Not always. Hypermiling is a fun pastime that I enjoyed while I drove stick. And it kept me engaged in the act of driving. It’s almost like treating each stretch of roadway like a golf course: how can I get from A to B with the least amount of energy used given the lay of the land, speed limits, traffic signals, and the behavior of other road users?

My first car was a 4-speed stick-shift Fiero, and I remember an automotive tech telling me to ignore their shifting recommendations because “then you’d be doing 35 in 4th gear.” Even at 16 I thought, “well if that’s more efficient, why wouldn’t I do it?” I can accept that I have weird metrics for “fun to drive” though.

Picking your comment as the newest instance but this is one of the dumbest memes I see in this thread.

Things don't automatically get better. It is hard work, it sucks, and it's not for everyone. It will take years to undo the damage of this transition. We will still be working on it in a decade. There are some very subtle gains like HOL-blocking. I'm not convinced that outweighs current actualized improvements in TCP congestion control (BBR), and for any application I can think of the places that really need something message-oriented seem better covered by WebRTC.

What you are really talking about is Full Employment Theorem.
What is intended to happen is someone fills out a vendor creation form (to guard against paying the wrong vendor/bank account), fills out a PO, later someone agrees they received goods or services against that PO, later AP receives an invoice, AP checks against the PO that goods/services have been received in the amount of the invoice, and pays the invoice to the previously setup vendor information.

When properly followed, the process makes scams harder, not easier. If people don't follow the process...

(You can look at this as the process having one person responsible for each step in the process, with the system recording each step.)
NZer's weren't stock piling guns to defend themselves with so your first argument just isn't valid to begin with.

One of my employers even had a process in place where you submit things you do off work or plan todo and you can officially get these approved before signing, like running a side business, etc. Its a contract, so its negotiable. HR likes to create the impression it's a static document, but it's not. Future employees have a lot of underleveraged negotiation powers, especially at large companies I think.
Staying close to the kid's current school seems like good sense. They have media attention and donations now but the chances are that will dry up after some fairly short period. Using that money to put themselves in a sustainable position can be better than trying to leverage it into the most prestigious position.

There's a long history of child actors, homeless who do heroic deeds and similar media-darlings later being dropped by the media and the public and winding up in terrible situations (especially given that "people are people" and media attention may one minute show a person's awesome side and the next minute show their despicable side).
I agree. To me it looks like an appeal to emotions.

The simple economics is in passenger volume. A plane can carry more people, to more destinations within Europe, several times a day.

Your statement that "As far as I know, for example, trains are significantly more fuel efficient per passenger-mile" definitely has some merit, but... trains are only more fuel efficient per passenger if they are as full as planes. An Airbus with 180 passengers might beat a train in per passenger miles if the train is not loaded.

Considering that, trains definitely are cheaper for highly utilized routes (commuting routes, for example), but for a leisurely trip across Europe, an Airbus packed to the gils could be cheaper.

It's not either or. It's difficult to understand concepts (well) and it is also difficult to EXPLAIN concepts (well).

The better the explanation the easier it is to understand for more people. Whereas a bad explanation is something that assumes students understand something most of them don't.

It's really not a blame-game but more an impedance mismatch between the teacher and the students. IF you can have your own tutor the tutor can adjust their level of explanation just to you, but that is not economically feasible for most students. Therefore if automated AI-learning text-books can make progress in this direction it is great.

It may be that the biggest impact of AI will be not by having something smarter than us, but something that can teach more people to understand difficult concepts. In other words biggest impact of AI may be in education.
I don't have a horse in this race but I find it interesting that in my career I've seen a lot of bad code but the worst clusterfucks I've met where all in Clojure while the community seems to be chock full of purists and in general people that takes craftmanship seriously at least at face value.

Yes, and automatics are now noticeably faster.

It makes me a little sad, though.
This is a good use of the more modern C++ features such as string_view, constexpr and template metafunctions such as decay and enable_if.

I do wonder how much this would impact compile-times if used moderately in a large code-base.

You want bad people to shoot each other so they'll be distracted and not notice the juicy targets for theft? The article says that 61% of the firearm deaths involving kids were assaults. Do kids warrant that chaos because they're part of a "broken culture"?

Is this the right price tag for what we have today?

> Of these children, 61 percent were killed in an assault involving a firearm, while 32 percent died by suicide. A further 5 percent died in an accident. The death was undetermined in 2 percent of cases.

And does it really have to be said that means interact with intent? Like, knife vs gun actually matters, and that guns matter even in suicide risk? Would as many people have died in the New Zealand Mosque shooting (50), the Las Vegas shooting (59), or that Pulse night club shooting (49)?

It's an instance of the general "social network" problem of privacy. If you are in a group of friends who all like some particular artist, you are very likely to like the artist too. It doesn't mean you'll always like them, but there is a strong correlation. This can be done for so many characteristics, educated or not, gay or straight, liberal or conservative.

Now, if a sizeable portion of your group is in some social network where they share details of their life, like, say facebook, then facebook will a) know you exist because your e-mail address and your phone number will be uploaded to them as part of the address book upload that apps have and b) know all these things about you without you ever telling facebook, having joined facebook, or being able to do anything about it.

As you observed so well, the same holds true for genetic testing. Maybe some point in the future you'll receive spam mails for preventative health measures concerning some genetic disorder that runs in your family. Or you'll have a hard time getting life insurance.

- personalmente, creo que usar dos colores (azul/rojo o verde/azul) seria más claro que usar solo rojo, aunque entiendo que tal vez quieres mantener el esquema de color actual. En todo caso, tal vez un pequeño gráfico en alguna parte lo haría más obvio (rectángulo horizontal de rojo claro a rojo oscuro, con texto indicando algo así como notas más - menos ¿armónicas? (dentro de la escala))

- estaría bien poner las configuraciones de los sintes más accesibles, quizás solo cambiar sonido, que es lo más divertido (aunque entiendo que el foco sea la "teoría"), en el menú de la derecha, y dejar iconos de ayuda al lado para acceder a ajustes más detallados o información como la que enlazas en "How To Use"

>I didn't mean to imply that all descendants would be gay, only that all would carry the gene and pass it to their descendants in turn. Most would still breed.

It doesn't matter. It's a gene that, in the long term, slightly increases the chance of every other individual reproducing while immediately greatly decreasing its own chance. That just doesn't work.

>over the lifetime of multiple colonies, the ones that survive would carry more "cooperative" genes

Evolution already works extremely slowly when its forces are applied to individual organisms. Any theory that requires evolution to act on entire populations is extremely unlikely. Also, you'd need a way for the gay gene to spread among a colony population in the first place in order for that colony to be selected in the way you postulate.

Another problem is that if ever a cooperative (in this particular sense of abstaining from reproduction) population meets an uncooperative one, eventually the uncooperative genes are going to take over again. It would need to speciate before that happens.

>I mean, isn't this basically how biological altruism develops in general?

I'm not really familiar with the concept, but it's easy to predict some things: Biological altruism will generally mean an organism helping another at a small or no cost and/or the benefited organism is a close relative that likely shares the gene. The gay gene fits neither criteria. The examples on Wikipedia do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altruism_%28biology%29#Example...

Lastly, nature has other ways to solve overpopulation. Organisms can evolve to require less food, change their diets to something else, become aggressive towards other individuals of the same species (killing the competition), or best of all: combining those last two things by resorting to cannibalism (this was the actual result of an experiment that applied evolutionary pressure over populations of insects).
Most models these days have no manual option in the US. And when it is an option it’s usually force-paired with the baseline trim or incompatible with a number of feature packages.

In South Africa where I grew up, we had the entire country's internet hanging off a single dialup UUCP gateway at Rhodes University in Grahamstown from 1988 until 1991.

In 91 they replaced the dialup UUCP link with a 9600kbps leased line. Only universities had access. We got our first commercial ISP in 1993.

The existence of weapons in a population also serves as a deterrence and a check against more criminal activity bleeding out into the general population as a whole.

A part of the reason you see so much mass shooting activity in gun free areas is the general likelihood that you won’t encounter someone else with a firearm immediately. Same reason gang activity tends to concentrate instead of fan out.

The trend that bothers me in western society is the almost gleeful willingness to having rights stripped from us that were hard fought for. All for the illusion of safety and civility. As if simply silencing people or disarming people makes the original problem go away instead of just hiding it. It’s unsettling.
The actual thing that those companies like 23andme get is your consent. Your genes already stick on everything you touch. They are basically public.

If you refund something bought at an online retailer, they could theoretically use the opportunity to sequence your genes. But they don't because they need your consent. But then again, genes are just biological manifestation of data and in your TOS you agree to them processing your data and using it to recommend products to you don't you? If most people don't care how many data companies collect about them, will they care if the online retailer is doing something like this?
I agree, which is why I was confused.

So, I consider myself a MIPS fan, having studied the early (SGI era) MIPS revisions, but if I started from a clean sheet, I would pick RISC-V over MIPS, because while MIPS is a fairly clean architecture, RISC-V is cleaner.

For example, the MIPS R4000 CPU had three microarchitectural branch delay slots of which the latter two had to be cancelled, and that must have been awkward to design.

In contrast, RISC-V has no ISA branch delay slots, so requires less from lower-end implementations, and provides more to higher-end out-of-order CPUs.

"Despite what you say here, motorcycles are horribly dangerous compared to a car"

Well, to some extent motorcycles are very dangerous because the people who ride them tend to be risk takers and not too bright. For instance, you often see people on motorcycles riding very close to other vehicles, because the power to weight ratio gives you a feeling of maneuverability and speed compared to cars and therefore people assume they can anticipate and avoid cars. Banking into a turn makes you feel like you can go faster than a car. But motorcycles are less able to corner and brake than cars at the limit, so a rational person would leave as much or more space. Another point is that there's no reason to think that people on motorcycles use alcohol and drugs at the same rate as people in cars. But riding a motorcycle doesn't in itself make you ride impaired.

In other words, I think you (like an awful lot of people do) are ignoring the fundamental nature of statistics, that they are based on a certain context where you know some things and don't know others. When the context is not appropriate, the numbers are not valid.
