Regarding the audio: I don't know about that specific model but I believe it uses standard Intel HD Audio (Azalia) --- and someone has written an HDA driver for Win3.x that goes by the name of "HDADRV9J" (complete with source code, albeit somewhat messy, in Pascal):

I personally expect that the first successful drone delivery service will be implemented by some sophisticated drug dealers because unlike with all these drone delivery services, they would need to be quiet and reliably deliver products instead of publicity.
If the client device is a desktop computer, sure. Typically, the client is a mobile device whose bandwidth and energy are precious commodities. In these cases, better for the server to do the heavy lifting.

The range/efficiency advantage really isn't much of a differentiator once you reach a certain number. Most people simply aren't doing long road trips.

Software isn't that special and some companies far eclipse it e.g. Volvo Polestar 2. Autopilot is a death trap so no advantage there. Supercharger network is definitely a big one but not for much longer.
That’s a silly analogy. Theranos clearly falsified their technology and were able to do it by hiding their product from their consumers. Tesla not only has been selling their product for years, but many of their consumers are very happy with the results. If things go south for Tesla, it’ll likely be the lack of political will, particularly from this president, to extend green energy credits and foster this nascent industry. That’s even discounting trade wars with China since China conditions were expected to deteriorate to some degree anyway. You can see what a difference political will makes when you read how Tesla is doing in Norway.
Alternatively, the non-realists prefer to view the Uncertainty Principle as deeply true instead of seeing Special Relativity as deeply false.
Minor vs major is not my point. The problem is that prosecutors did not care about this for a LONG time but suddenly went into overdrive when someone could not convict a person of interest for an unrelated offense.
> The discussion was not about benevolence, or honesty, but of free press.

yes my point exactly. Are you suggesting the press in the US isn't 100% propaganda both on the left and right?

> You make it sound like you would like the world to fall into a black and white good guys/bad guys hollywood formula.

not at all. I dislike that idea and much rather we all live with less but instead get along. But it's much worse: it's not a future scenario, but we're already there! Whether you look at US, UK or any other place in the West identity politics distracting from the biggest money grab/heist in history (on the back of the poor as well as whatever is left over from a middle class). Just look at the divide among people in the West (in their own countries).

The press feeds on that negativity and is very much guilty of maintaining it. There is nothing to be proud of when it comes to our press! Speaking of the US specifically instead of the West, the majority of people there is too poor to afford feeding themselves without 2 or free jobs, nobody there got time to worry about complex problems and how well a story was researched. They're perfectly happy with bite-sized outrage and identity bullshit not caring about some "foreign wars" when they don't know if they can eat tomorrow or whether their children will be debt slaves for the rest of their days. Free press doesn't exist if people don't listen to them and rather tune into FoxNews, Breitbart, Infowars (and CNN on the other side of the spectrum).

I tried to remain skeptical about this, but this piece from 2014 in the LRB is what tipped me over into feeling that, as you put it, it's "very much like his style" on the balance of probabilities, particularly given the LRB's disenchantment with establishment power: https://www.lrb.co.uk/v36/n05/andrew-ohagan/ghosting
A good reason why, at least in Houston, is no zoning. I had a friend who had every area outside the HOA taken over and covered with office buildings, apartment complexes, etc. by stupid MetroNational. There's now a very abrupt line between the all residential pocket and the towers, mall, etc.
Don't know what you're talking about with the CIA. More likely they just looked up any previous court cases in every previous place he lived, couldn't find anything open but a juicy closed case that they could ask re-opened as a favor.

That's not so strange. Considering that they closed the investigation on the grounds that they couldn't reach him, but refused to question him in london, it seems plausible the whole thing was just a play to get him on their soil.
This is incredibly ill-informed, or very carefully constructed disinformation, and I'm uncomfortable that I can't tel the difference.

For example: there were many illegal, suggestions of illegal, and offensive things in those, and related, email leaks, for supporters and detractors of HRC.

> If you're intent to discredit Assange among his fanbase, which is largely young, male, and online: isn't rape actually the worst possible crime to smear him?

That was not the intent. More likely for discrediting him to the social-progressives (potential new fanbase) who are outspoken and active enough to make a huge uptick in the even larger viral explosion that Wikileaks deserves/ed.
Was making a photographic image the main aim of the project? Or is the image just a byproduct?

I mean hard to imagine such a large project being taken up, for the benefit of public being able to see a picture of the black hole.

Would this kind of multi telescope effort be capable of producing surface images of extra solar planets for example?

This is the magical thinking explanation. What is much more plausible is that they have such enormous datasets that they are able to train machine learning models to predict interests of people on the basis of any number of online behaviors that they record.

The behavior doesn't even need to "make sense" - it could be that people who log on at these times, live here, travel by train, like dog photos and belong to certain groups are highly to be interested in a particular product. It doesn't matter, the system will learn these relations anyway. It might seem spooky and eavesdropping-y from a naive user's perspective, but the simple fact is that when you have that much data you don't even need to eavesdrop.

I agree. That no one is tearing apart the horribly written python in the git repo is extremely sexist.

Ask HN: How did you learn parsing?
Most programming language implementation/compiler/interpreter books I know of (EOPL, SICP, PAIP, Dragon Book) seem to sort of gloss over parsing, if they cover it at all, or they use some hack like the homoiconicity of Lisp which isn't super generalizable. PAIP goes so far as to call parsing a "distraction"!!

Or in the case of the Dragon Book, they present it in a way that is very detailed but isn't super helpful for someone who's self-teaching (but might be great for someone in a compilers class with a professor to provide context and focus).

I can hack together some parsing code for the most part if I need it, but I'd like to learn how to do it "properly".

I'm a self-taught working programmer (i.e. no degree in CS), and would appreciate responses from other self-taught people who've learned to write LALR/CLR/Pratt/etc parsers for fun or profit.

What resources or projects have helped you here? Any suggestions for someone in my position?
And nobody should want governments to have a say in who gets extradited, even though it may be a popular idea in a few politically charged cases. Best to leave criminal justice systems as far from politics as possible.

Two Russian Brothers Built a Billion Dollar Business in America
She obviously deserves some credit, and you can see she got some for her hard work and skills, i.e., she already has a tenure track position set up at Caltech. But rarely do post-docs actually get credit. The credit they get is usually by PIs in seminars where they mention their students or try to get their students jobs. The person who provides the funding for the project, not the one actually doing the work is the one who usually gets the credit in science. She was the first author but not the PI hence her getting credit may be a bit unusual. There have been countless post-docs and grad students who have made discoveries and were never mentioned in press.

However, she may be a superstar, no pun intended, and so her getting almost all of the credit is completely warranted, but graduate student and post-doc are training roles, and a lot of the time the post-doc won't really make a name for themsleves until they establish their own lab, because it is unclear who is producing the ideas.

So the existence of doubt is proof of invalidity of the said doubt. That is some Olympic level mental gymnastics.
Native English Speakers Are the Worlds Worst Communicators (2016)
Don't know about the 486 specifically, but this sort of thing wasn't unheard of. I have a pentium-era machine with 8MB EDO built into the board. It can stand alone or complement whatever you put in your DRAM slots (though curiously, if you max it out at 4x32MB, you get 128MB, not the 136MB you might hope for...)

Edit: wait... I thought we were talking about something unusual because he mentioned SIMMs, and the 486 specifically, but I guess he's just talking about the conventional memory on x86 that peaked at 640KB. This is not what I was describing above (that system has extended EDO built in in addition to the conventional 640).

Don't have a specific link for you, but just look into the memory model of the IBM PC, conventional vs extended RAM, etc... 640KB (or less!) was all we used to have, plugged right into DIP sockets.

When, in the late 80s, computing technology started increasing in power like mad, we quickly needed access to more RAM, but the original memory model held us back, so we had to hack around it in various awkward ways. So we ended up with the original on-board chips + SIMM expansion slots.

Looking back, we were so terribly shortsighted in our designs, and Moore's Law just continually blew everything to hell.
Yes you're absolutely correct - I guess my main question is could the space savings, like the pollution savings, be 'good enough' for it not to matter in practice, assuming that driverless cars become the 80% usecase for road traffic and today's 'massive 5 seater car for an average of 2 people' model goes away.

It's also important to point out that of course, buses and trains shouldn't go away - they could indeed also have a bunch of problems solved by being self driving too, most notably the 24/7 running thing - they'd just be another option in the mix.
Yes, that is also true. One must always keep in mind the opportunity cost of prosecution, where losing a case means that you might have one a different one with the same resources.
Rape is sex without consent. She made it clear that she requires him to wear a condom. Then, the next morning, she is awoken by him penetrating her without a condom, clearly violating the conditions of her consent. That's even ignoring the question if you shouldn't check again for continuing consent when the partner in question is someone you just met.

People denying that such behaviour is rape make me ... sad? It's perfectly fine to stipulate a difference between this and the stereotypical violent assault by a total stranger in the dark, and Swedish law and sentencing practices do indeed take such factors into account. But to apparently consider this perfectly fine seems indefensible.

If you look at the Volvo Polestar it is easily a peer of Tesla and far exceeds it on the software front with the partnership with Google.

This is just made to look like Windows 3.1 at a glance but there are many small details that are different from real Windows 3.1 (or even 3.0). For example Windows 3.x do not have a 3D shaded button at the top left corner of windows, instead they have a flat button/square with a thin "-"-like rectangle that has a black outline, white filling and single pixel shadow, like a three pixel tall popup menu (which is intentional since in Win3.x this was supposed to be the icon for applications to use if they wanted to have a dedicated control/widget for showing a popup menu).

Similarly, the mouse cursor's triangular part is smaller, the window corners are missing the "connecting" corner lines, the font is different (in Win3.1 all fonts are bold and the space is narrower), the button shadow color is too dark (this was the case for EGA in Win3.x but this is VGA and in VGA the palette was modified to have a less contrasting shade for the bevel colors), the dialog box (from the first image in the three, not linked in your message) uses the resizeable (but corner lines still missing) border style instead of the dialog box style (which is blue with a white inner line), etc. I'm sure i can find more differences if i spend more time on this and look at Win3.x screenshots, but these are from memory and i think you get the idea :-P.
True, to me he's not exactly an attractor of sympathy. It's neither clear whether he is guilty regarding the - dropped (!) - sexual assault case or not, but mere speculation. On the other hand one must say he acted quite self-less by publishing information on how governments act in a criminal manner. Intelligence services in particular, if they should have any right to exist they must do so in the most ethical manner as there is zero way for the public to see what's going on - them, in an ideal world helping us protect against the most evil parts of society. But if they can't manage to be ethical, it's cynical that people like Assange get locked away.

The article starts by explaining lvalues and rvalues more precisely than that, and breaks them up into 3 additional value categories in modern C++ (the ones in the title).

First of all, that's unrelated to the extradition to Sweden. He said that he didn't want to go to Sweden because then he would be more likely to get extradited, but the opposite was true. He fought to stay in the UK, but fled when all legal options to avoid going to Sweden was exhausted.

Second, the US has had seven more years to build a case now, and a new Republican government.

There are also lots of good ways to peer into the inner workings of a tree ensemble model nowadays. It's not laid out plainly for you like a linear model, but it's not an impenetrable black box as people like to suggest.
Toyota will be shipping their first EVs for the 2020 market year (so I guess in the fall of this year if I understand such things correctly). It will be very interesting to see what happens. In Japan Nissan and Mitsubishi completely own the EV market (I see them frequently now and even own a Leaf myself). I've never seen any other make of EV (although I'm absolutely sure they exist and if I wasn't in the middle of the countryside would probably run into them occasionally).

My interest in this story is actually Panasonic because I'm curious about how aggressively they will pursue the Japanese EV market. Nissan just sold their battery making division and apparently had talks with Panasonic, but those apparently broke down. I have no idea who will build Toyota's batteries (and probably every other Japanese car maker as they all went in together into a consortium for building EVs). Mitsubishi apparently use GS Yuasa, which is a fairly new Japanese company (15 years old) that was created from a group of companies that used to make lead acid batteries.

If Panasonic thinks that Tesla isn't going to perform, they may need to hustle to stay relevant.

She's everywhere for the same reason Elizabeth Holmes was everywhere a few years ago. The media wants to push a certain agenda. You are being downvoted because some "people" misread your comment and thought you were questioning the agenda when in actuality, you clearly weren't. Actually, your comment is really in support of her rather than detracting from her, but "people" can't read nuance.

She really should have been at the conference given her contributions, but she wasn't. Maybe it was a scheduling conflict? Who knows.

Edit: Geez, why the downvotes? ;)

That's because it wouldn't be an extradition. Embassies are not extra-territorial. British police didn't storm the embassy largely out of politeness and convention.
