But this is a great way to test and refine facial recognition to make it ubiquitous, which has serious implications for the government's ability to track everyone cheaply and with little recourse.
You've cherry-picked a type trait as your example, which arguably could be a core language feature made to look like a third-party module.

Meanwhile, do you believe it's hard to implement a container?

And no, adding cruft to the STL is not a one-way street. See for example the history of C++'s smart pointers.
Interesting, how do you activate that flow? I landed at SFO last night and it prompted for me to insert my passport before it'd scan my face / take finger prints
And rightly so! What's wrong with spreading awareness about safer alternative?
If that wasn't the case in the past, we'd still be programming in Cobol and Fortran.

I wonder if the number of attempts at a clean run can be inferred from the battery level at the start.
Can you elaborate a little about how the maps are used? The "go/no go" is basically the sort of thing I mean by "high level navigation", the sort of thing a satnav system would provide help with. If they have nothing like that it seems insane. I guess there is an ambiguity around how high detail is "high detail".
> whose gotten farther than anyone in this field

What they've done so far is a dangerous lane-assistance. From what's seen they are nowhere near waymo. Would hate for tesla and uber to ruin this for everyone else.
Merrill Engineering Building! I'm glad it is still around. Those long hallways were used as a "display" to unroll the many pages of Simula machine code listings down one corridor so that three grad students -- including me -- could crawl over it and coordinate to try to understand just what Simula might actually be (the documentation in Norwegian that had been transliterated into English was not understandable).
> "The idea that the value and utility of the automobile is diminished because everybody has one is absurd."

You missed it entirely. The argument is that it is unreasonable and unsustainable to expect that everybody should own one. We have normalized many of the costs of near universal automobile ownership today, but in many ways it is unsustainable, particularly as urbanization increases and particularly as cities are the main economic drivers in the modern era. We're killing ourselves with the idea that everybody not only should own a beach house but has to own a beach house in order to function in society and the economy, and there just isn't enough beach front property for that to be realistic.
Saying that you solve a specific case of satisfiability problems (e.g., siphash) is not proof that you can solve any 3-SAT problem. Graph coloring is a great example of this phenomenon--graph coloring is NP-hard, but most graphs can be colored very efficiently in polynomial time.
He did that. Go through the tutorial, it is extensive.
As long as we dont attack the pre-historic religions who get us there - we will be fine.
Another counterexample is "IP = PSPACE" by Shamir.

I think it's nice when titles include the main result plus a few words about methodology, like "IP = PSPACE using Error Correcting Codes", or "The PCP Theorem by Gap Amplification".
I wonder if this comment is racist. China never was and is not the least innovative countries on Earth. The Chinese internet companies are micro-innovating at a speed no country in the world can compete.

Let's say this, the counterparts of Facebook and Twitter has already fallen or on its way to fall out of favor in China because people found more interesting ways to waste their time and find useless information. Soon, you will find Facebook and Twitter doing the same, and in that order.

Sites and apps surviving the Chinese market are the real winners, and those who cannot will fail in other countries too. That is the power of a large enough testbed.
“Jennifer Newstead helped craft the Patriot Act, a cowardly work of treasonous legislation foisted on the American people in the wake of the 9/11 attacks;”

Source seems a little biased. Treasonous? That’s gotta require a lot of cortortion around the definition of treason.

Patriot Act provisions have been repeatedly reauthorized by the democratically elected legislature since it was originally passed. This isn’t a case of foisting anything upon the people, the people are perfectly happy to vote in supporters of the Patriot Act. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act#Reauthorizations

But many predictions ARE basically binary. I made so much money on the "Will Trump be impeached by the end of 2019?" question. I can't believe how many people put money on that.

> I don't generally find surveys by libertarian think-tanks that don't provide any methodology information (beyond hinting that respondents were self-selected) to be that representative of reality.

Yeah, that's fair.

> The people you discuss fear ostracism, but how does one get ostracized if one is in the majority?

Because there has never in history been a case of a small group of people exercising power over a larger group, even when the larger group could, if organized, easily overcome the smaller. Never happened.

But seriously, this is a game of equilibria. If everyone who speaks against X gets lynched, and people who don't enthusiastically support that lynching find themselves next in line, it doesn't matter how many people actually support X or like lynching. Any individual moving against that system gets lynched, including by the people who dislike both X and lynching, because no one wants to be lynched themselves.
Seconded on all points. I do branch out to SQL for stuff, too, and I find that R and Python play nicely with it, too. But as long as ggplot exists and Python doesn't have it, R will never really leave my side.
It's not ignoring so much ass the internal array of notification options changes, or the app is upgraded across a major OS release, or something else which causes a new or replacement notification setting to take on its default value.

The problem, if anything, is that whatever test suite they run doesn't include someone opting out of everything, applying the update, and then checking if they are still opted out of everything (including new stuff that didn't exist before).
Yup, your apt-get example is a great one. It's very frustrating that the ability to do stuff like this completely died with common lisp/smalltalk . I don't see the appeal of exceptions at all if you don't have restarts (I'd rather have Either).
I'm sad that Elfwood wasn't mentioned, many now very successful fantasy and science fiction artists were present on Elfwood back before professional artists homepages became the norm. It was a really fascinating community for it's time.
Yeah, according to the devkit schematics the switch controls W_DISABLE- their blog post talks about the virtues of "removing power"...
Considering that academic rigour is at stake - given we need to trust he's made a rigorous survey of the academic consensus surrounding this topic - it is a very related subject.

Given that none of these papers prove that women are better or worse at programming than men, perhaps you can demonstrate your academic rigour to me, too?
You're fooling yourself if you think your eyes can do that. They can't. More to the point, your brain is fooling you, by synthesizing a perception of a reality, the same way it does to make you think the stuff in your peripheral vision is as sharp as the things in the middle.

Vertebrate eyes don't have 24 bits of sensitivity, that's just insane. Rod cells are neurons, they either fire or they don't, can fire at most at about 10 Hz, and you have about a million of them at most across your whole field of vision. Do the math. What you say isn't even physically possible.
Are personality tests effective in hiring decision?
Many companies are using personality tests during hiring. Do you think that makes sense? Is there any proof that it really affects the hiring decision in the good direction?
Not sure what this reply has to do with what I wrote?

Of course the USA frequently interferes in foreign elections. We spy on other countries too.

It’s normal for a country to spy and interfere in others, but not to like when others spy and interfere with them. Such is international politics.
So buying from Airbus instead of Boeing is an act now to allow Boeing to compete? So do you or do I have a wrong understanding of the word "compete"?
When they say that collecting data is the trivial part, they mean that (in comparison to the other parts of the problem) it is easy for everyone to solve. In other words, they are saying Tesla has an advantage in area that doesn't matter.
Pretty much. Schools market themselves by showing how many of their students performed well in National exams. It drives their perceived value up so they can charge a lot more school fees.
And the common misconception is that the more time a student spends studying, the better they'll perform. Which results in their teachers overloading them with school work
If you can recollect more details, I would love to know what happeend, but I'm not sure about 3) I'm not aware of a pipelining-unsupported error in http (it is a thing in SMTP). It would take a very special HTTP server to look for another request in the socketbuffer after the current one and respond with failure.

On the other hand, a quick search found evidence of some very special HTTP servers doing bizarre things with HTTP: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/2665
1. Consulting. Mostly because you can't productize strategy.

2. No, US only. Wardley does originate in the UK. The US is slowly catching up. I predict this will be taught in college in 10 years.
This is inclusive of commute time. My young ones who are still in preschool leave the house at around 6:00 to be at school by 7:00. They usually arrive back between 3:30 and 4. And, we are talking about preschool. At least my young ones can afford a commute in a private car. The older they get, the more the homework. While this is not normal, this is ordinary life in Kenya.
Notably there are also literally taxes attached to such things. Washington tried to make feminine hygiene products tax-free during this legislative cycle, but it died in committee. Hopefully it'll pass next year, but this is still crazy.

Also includes the word "magical", which is risky.
Wow. I knew civil forfeiture was a claim brought against a property but I didn't realize that's literally what they would write as the defendant. I can't believe judges take this seriously...
This "life tax" is hardly a surprise when most governments and boards of directors are made of mostly men, who have been taught not to ever speak about these issues (a taboo due to religious or social beliefs).

Now if there's a way to make money, suddenly it becomes an attractive subject for some, but the liberation of women with reusable products (menstrual cup, washable pads and period pants) will always come second to potential wealth increase with single-use solutions, especially for someone who does now experience the "problem" in the first place.

Worse than all that, the people in charge of pushing single-use products genuinely believe they are helping out women, when in reality we see cases of toxic shock syndrome due to chemicals in tampons, and the ecological impact of such single-use products.

My wife has been using reusable solutions for a few years now, the cup and period pants being the most liberating according to her.
When questioned directly about what Marxists he believed represented what he's characterising, he couldn't name a single one. This lends more evidence and fact to the pile of facts that demonstrate he has no clue what he's talking about.
That surprises me, I thought they would have said the intrusion was too minimal and that it merely confirms an earlier observation rather than gathering more information on the vehicle or its owner. The judge suggested taking photographs of the parked cars or notes of their position instead, but it strikes me that an easier approach might be to just leave some small object in front of one wheel.

The Ada partisans are all out in force here in this thread to defend Ada, all four of us. haha...
For what it's worth, niche as Ada may be, it's an _important_ niche. It remains widespread in safety-critical applications, and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. It's really good to see Rust taking lessons from Ada/SPARK in the area of formal proofing! If any language is going to threaten C++, it looks like Rust. I don't expect an Ada resurgence to happen, unfortunately.

This got a laugh out of me.
This is a pretty useful list. In some cases I actively avoid businesses with this model as I do not believe the business model is sustainable. But it really depends. If i'm buying FTP software (e.g. transmit) then fine. But if i'm buying a VPN, no chance.

I would suggest moving the source column on the table. At first I found it hard to read as the primary data I'm looking for is the service, not the source.

Does it make sense? Xilinx AC701 or an older Altera Arria V dev Kit have all the hardware for this. Writing code for them might be interesting learning project, but there are more interesting stuff nowadays to learn.
Race is too important in medicine to merely be a social construct.

Different races have significantly different disease rates (incidence rates), such that you cannot erase them even if you control for environment (born in the same city, at the same time, went to the same school, etc).

If you were to open a large hospital in town X, you would very much want to know X's demographic structure to make informed decisions on how many highly specialized professionals and equipment you would need to effectively treat the population.

Making design mistakes at this stage would literally cost lives.
Low yield compared to paying off debt. Reasonably good stock market yields are still well below lots of the debts people have; 5.688% isn't much more than interest on a lot of federally subsidized student loans, and far less than on lots of consumer debt.
I don’t think it provides a great way of testing and refining. The pictures are taken at a very controlled environment in this case; it doesn’t really generalize to CCTV. I don’t disagree with the argument regarding “normalizing” facial recognition in everyday life, though.
While it is an impressive technological feat indeed, note that Alibaba doesn’t handle their own logistics. It’s more like eBay where the sellers are supposed to fulfill their own orders.
It’s security theatre at best; this technology will be used to monetize your biometric data, and you won’t get a single penny. Combine this with a social credit score system, and you will have a surveillance apparatus that is effectively unchecked.
You're not wrong. Even BASIC was better than this.
The question then is whether the kind of work a philosopher supposedly does—formal, conscious, symbolic—is especially fundamental to intelligence. Like, is the mind in its basic function similar to an analytic philosopher or logician? In order to make artificial intelligence, should we try to develop a simulation of a logician?

But not even philosophers actually work in the schematic way of an AI based on formal logic...

This article should really be deleted. It's giving crackpots advice for camouflaging their crackpottery, forcing serious mathematicians to waste more of their time determining its legitimacy.
For the same reasons: it offers a strong alternative to C/C++ with memory safety. Often I want performance like C++ but cleaner code and memory safety. Before recently, Python was a go-to when you didn't want to cut yourself on C++s sharp edges, even with it's disadvantages. The overlap isn't clean, but Go is strong for writing simple programs and glue layers, and Rust is strong for writing complex software where correctness and performance are both very important.

Python still has a fair bit of expressive power that Go and Rust would struggle to provide, but I think both can be compelling alternatives in different cases, and they offer a lot in exchange (such as, full type safety and improved performance.)

I realize Rust offers much more safety than Go, but both of them are eons ahead of C++ in this regard. When you're starting from nothing, any level of guarantees is a huge shift.
I don't see how this has anything to do with AI or ML. It's a great description of why you might want to prefer strongly typed languages, avoid "the data is the schema" key-value monstrosities like mongodb, and maybe think about writing some sanity-check-tests that need to pass before deployment, though.

No system should ever fail silently if a required field suddenly goes missing or has the wrong type/unit.

Yeah but the idea is that, with TRACE, most of the time you shouldn't need to drop into the debugger (all CLs come with an interactive debugger too). If TRACE is not sufficient, only then do I go down the debugger route (or strategic print statements).
Step 1 is to use a static analyzer. Enforce null checks and finals and such. I think cresting a lot of files only hurts up front but I will give up more keystrokes in favor of unequivocal stack traces any day. Also javadoc is the best.

My mother has been involved in operating and supporting a network of Kenyan orphanages for decades. She's on the board of directors for the US 501c3 that funds them. The woman who founded this organization (a US citizen) adopted several of the orphans and spent most of her time for 20 years in the country operating the homes until her health decline and dimensia prevented her direct involvement. The board became aware that a director of one of the homes (keynan born man in his mid twenties and the first adoptee of the orgs founder) had been submitting false receipts and not paying land tax, had kicked out orphans and was renting the property, etc. The 93 year old, recently widowed founder did not believe the allegation and a court case (in Kenya) between her the board ensued. Predicting resolution and subsequent board control of the home, my mother quit her job in the US and moved to Kenya (planned for a year) to act as interim director, reestablished the orphanage and transition to a new local director. They instead realized that a case between two westerners, with resources to pay attorneys and court fees, was likely to be dragged out for a long time. She instead volunteered at the nursery at Kenya Children's Home for a short time before going on to help setup and operate a new clinic, built by the Freedom from Fistula[0] foundation, in Madagascar.

In our correspondence, she expressed the vital need for both incontinence and feminine hygiene supplies and consequences of a girls life without them. She explained a tragic situation: that pubecent girls would miss unpredictable amounts of school (often falling behind to the point of withdrawal/failure) without them, and that there was a very real fear of being shunned for failing to control their natural bodily functions. Projects like the one in this article, where minimal targeted investments can result in wide spread life changing outcomes are awesome and inspiring!

If nobody cares about the first column, I can at least move it to the far right As for the business model, I have gotten some great tools from startups that are trying to get off the ground, but of course there are also some tools that never seem to get anywhere after initial rounds. It's a good idea to ask the founders for roadmaps, company details etc.
Netherland seems to be mostly a management culture. Managers, even bad ones, get paid more than programmers. Careers that people choose for money are manager, physician and lawyer. Economics is popular since it's assumed to lead to a management career. We do get some good tech, but it's not rewarded the way it is in the US.

A large majority of Ada partisans found their corner in Java, C# and C++'s type system improvements over C, and made the best we could from the sour grapes of C's copy-paste compatibility.
Plenty of political discussions appear on HN. It's a complex question, which I wrote about some in an earlier thread today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19720659. Strong political feelings lead people to rush to generalizations about HN, but you need to resist that pull if you want to assess the situation fairly.

As for Mueller, the report itself is off topic here on the grounds of (a) would they cover it on TV news? yes (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and (b) there is no intellectual curiosity left in any such discussions. But articles tangential to it have continued to appear and not been moderated. (Example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19704347.)
