The difference is that Elon Musk's hype has the stench of the monorail salesman in that episode of The Simpsons. A slick pitchman painting grandiose visions of the future ripped straight out of '50s science fiction comics. Seeing as how his Reddit following talk about him like Tony Stark, I feel like Musk knows exactly who he's courting.

The chasm between Musk's superhero image and his Twitter meltdowns and missed deadlines, is likely what makes people be skeptical/annoyed with his communication style.
It's like there are two tiers of writing at The Atlantic/New Yorker: A nice well written piece on a major topic that leaves you with something to think about during the day, or 8+ paragraphs on something like the emotional impact of a specific spring time NYC odor, or the perils of hiring a dog walker in Brooklyn.
> This story doesn't really explain what killed lard in Europe.

It's NPR. It's an American news channel. It's not trying to detail the history of Europe.

I don't mean to take this out on you because your comment is informative and interesting, but I'm really getting frustrated with this so often being the top comment's criticism on HN, or being the top responding criticism to the top comment on HN. Simply put, it's a Eurocentric criticism. It always reads like, "Why didn't this journalist consider Europe when they wrote this piece?"

Perhaps it's different on European sites, but American sites don't bother contextualizing which nation they're talking about because the context is already self-evident to the primary Anglo American audience. News stories don't appear in English as a lingua franca; it's just the primary language.

It's not that we don't care about Europe. It's just too far away. Europe just isn't the default American context. We don't qualify our journalism if it's only about America.

You're not allowed to walk through the middle zone at all, so springiness doesn't seem to be of much concern.

Also, it's not like this isn't a solved problem in association (or American) football -- just pad the poles.
No shade here, but how can you possibly be on HN right now? Or do you consider this kind of commenting activity to be part of your job? I consider myself to work maybe 15 hr per week, but according to my contract I work 40, and sometimes my timesheet says 60. Nonetheless, I am “on-call” quite a bit, at my own discretion.

I just can’t imagine how I could stay in deep concentration and be “legit 65-70 hours per week,” unless I was also counting chatting on HN, Slack, meals with coworkers, research...ie the things that make my actual “work” time (of maybe 15 hours per week) truly productive.

I guess it would be totally reasonable to include some of those activities as “legit work time,” but then how do you decide what is and isn’t legit? I require a lot of adjacent “down” time to provide very high-value “on” time for my company, but how could you possibly know if 20 hours spent researching something you are excited about will have any value whatsoever for your company? Should it be “billable?” This is the unsung benefit of being a salaried worker: you don’t have to concern yourself about whether your research and exploratory development is “on task” or not, you just need to bring the benefits back to your company.
The G450 dual-head card was the card to have for Linux in the early 2000s, imo.
Why is this a problem? Aren't these companies there to take a cut of the service they put in? If Amazon can incorporate those services/tools and that reduces the prices for the end users, why is it looked as wrong?

This is basically the middlemen analogy in commerce which internet completely decimated by allowing manufacturers/retail to go directly to users.

So actually, they are talking about AWS. I clicked through expecting to read about FBA and the Amazon basics, but this is more technology/open source oriented.
There's "nothing" "unreasonable" about wanting to give your "money" to a "local business owner" and not some "multinational".
Australia don't have even the the most basic inalienable rights (speech for example), and you just got done arguing that a selective enforcement legal system is a good thing. Now you top it off with equating forced voting to silent protest, letting murders vote, and (cringe) suggesting something "more robust" than free speech.

Next thing you know Aus will outlaw random numbers.

Music created solely by machines will probably remain derivative and simplistic for a long time. I expect the biggest result of this research in the near term is that we'll be able to create tools that lower the skill and time required to create good music, kind of like an audio version of templates/autocomplete/spellcheck.
It has to do with what time means. A coloiquial understanding of time has almost everything to with the way our mind and our memories work.

Our mind and memories won't be of much use at the end of the universe, so we have to depend on a more scientific definition. The best scientific way of describing and measuring time outside of our minds basically comes down to measuring systems as they increase entropy. As the universe ages, and these systems approach maximum entropy, the ability to measure time, and the ability to describe in any concrete way what time means, becomes increasingly difficult.
Wonder how long the pork lasted in the lard, seeing as even salt pork like ships used to stock for long voyages only lasted a couple months
Sure. Problem is cameras are more similar to humans. So a camera based system will drive more like humans, and be less dangerous. If you use a Lidar based system and conditions are great for lidar, but terrible for cameras it's going to be very dangerous to mix autonomous lidar cars with human driven cars.

I want the complete opposite. I use the three systems almost daily, and I freaking hate to have to context-switch to the platform's look-and-feel.
Thankfully KDE apps work mostly everywhere nowadays.

Most of the users of the FOSS software I'm developing also switch platforms depending on the project they're in, but they want the software to be the same everywhere for instance.
You could add this to the standard library in the future. There is already the 1d version of this (slices). But you don't need to - it would be perfectly fine to live on its own.
This times performance like this:

$ time ./crb

That means time spent writing the .ppm file is included.

In the implementations I browsed, that is about a million print calls, each of which might flush the output buffer, and whose performance may depend on locale.

To benchmark ray tracing I would, instead, just output the sum of the pixel values, or set the exit code depending on that value.

Even though ray tracing is cpu intensive, it also wouldn’t completely surprise me if some of the implementations in less mature languages spent significant time writing that output because their programmers haven’t come around to optimizing such code.
I did a research a while back on the sources of the articles. The reports of poor working conditions come from like 2 - 3 workers. There isn't really proof that its a widespread problem.

Across the number of warehouses that Amazon has, its plausibile to believe there are a few locations that have a higher demand and/or managers trying to show better numbers, which translates to more stress on employees. Pick anyone who has worked for a large corporation, and they will probably tell you that there are location that are a PITA to work at in terms of demand and stress.

I've tried it as well and got good syntactic results. For more sensical programs, I think we will need more layers & attn heads. Perhaps someone will fork gpt-2 and add the sparse transformer to it.
I found the rules a bit unclear about this, but I don't think you can score on any gate. It talks about scoring on end "gates", but it also says your team's three defenders can only travel to the offensive side of the field once you've cleared the end gate, which implies that you're trying to score on only one end gate.
This is bad advice. No one has time to look at your open source patches and evaluate them.

Several hiring managers have told me this.
Injecting the Second Amendment brouhaha into a discussion about election reform is a whataboutism troll.

Recall that you started this subthread with the thoroughly, repeatedly rebutted "Democrats oppose voter ID" talking point, which is also trolling.
There's a variety of possibilities. Lerc mentions GC as one possibility, which could definitely be the case. Another one that would be high on my "first guess" list is that everything above it has much better optimizers, and raytracing code is one of the places this is really going to show. Go does basically very little optimization, because it prioritizes fast compilation.

(Where Go "wants" to play is that same benchmark, except including compilation time.)

A couple of the things below Go I suspect are bad implementations. I would expect a warmed-up C# to beat Go if both have reasonable (not super-crazy optimized implementations) or at least be at parity, and Luajit may also be a slow implementation. In both cases because ray-traced code is a great place for a JIT to come out and play. EDIT: Oh, I see C# is Mono, and not the Windows implementation. In that case that makes sense.

Oh, and I find it helpful to look at these things logarithmically. I think it matches real-world experiences somewhat better, even though we truly pay for performance in the linear world. From that perspective, it's still only the second largest. The largest is Haskell to Elixir, which is substantially larger. O'Caml->Go is large, but not crazily so; several other differences come close.
OpenBSD and NetBSD have different priorities; NetBSD wants to run on every device possible, while OpenBSD wants to be simple and secure. It'd be more efficient to fork off and let them focus on those priorities (and cross-pollinate where it actually makes sense to cross-pollinate) than to expect those often-conflicting priorities to always have to be balanced throughout the entirety of development.

Same goes for Linux distros (albeit to a lesser extent, since "compatibility with software written for bigger distros" tends to be an implicit design goal for smaller distros), or for illumos distros (OpenIndiana is very different from SmartOS).

My favorite lard story comes from my business partner.
Every Sunday night the boarding school he attended in grade school would have an ice cream social. They always got the cheap ice cream from the local ice cream shop cause it tasted 'better'.
One Sunday, they forgot to put the leftover ice cream away and by Monday morning, it still hadn't melted. When they asked the shop why, they were told is was mostly made of lard.
They got the more expensive ice cream from then on.
it's very socially and economically costly to keep other people accountable, so most people lack the fortitude to do so.

this is why we have so many hero myths/stories, to valorize those few people brave enough to pay those costs for the rest of us. that esteem bestowed is one of the few ways we can repay the costs (if only incompletely) that "heroes" incur for us.
The number of single vendor cards that I'd need to carry would be enormous. The idea of moving away from credit cards (inherently long lived payment authorizations) as a payment system is fabulous but in the meantime your idea is probably not realistic.
When AWS launched, they cut the price of a typical VPN service by 80% or more. They were cutthroat from the start. Amazon did not price for the existing market, they priced for a theoretical market they knew could exist when prices were that low.
>whether the photographer or the monkey owns the photo

Or none of them
The confusion is because many of us work many days remote, and/or have flexible hours. For many of us, our entire existence is oriented around improving a bottom line...so when we have down time, we are recreationally reading about how to do that better, whether we are on the clock or not. So, if you are a remote worker, and you produce 3 proof of concepts for your company for fun, and none of them pan out, how many hours did you work? Nobody knows, including you.
At that point I'd duct tape a magic keyboard on the laptop and watch the Ive fanboys rage.
It does say only one defender can be in the small circle surrounding the end gate.
You bring up an interesting thing I noticed in the film (released in 1999 btw). There's a scene where Brad Pitt is on a bus and pointing to an ad of a ripped Calvin Klein model and commenting to Edward Norton "As if that's what real men look like".

And yet, what do people remember most about the film? Brad Pitt's shirtless physique during fight scenes. Look up "Tyler Durden Fight Club fitness" on Youtube. Tons of hits. People may conceptually understand that Fight Club is satire, but their actions indicate otherwise. They want to have that kind of body, even though they know it's not going to make them a movie star or a rock god.
I too was one of those unhealthy looking, overworked bankers. I was promoted at a young age and had a lot to prove, so I overdid it for a year or two. Then I understood the secret the other MDs had known for years - you just have to look busy, not actually be busy!

I work at Google, based on personal experience I would say it does a good job of setting a minimum bar in terms intelligence and coding ability. However, it might reject some people unfairly.

A little bit of preparation helps a lot, but beyond a certain point preparation doesn't help anymore. All interview questions require solving a new problem in the interview itself.

Depending on the interviewer and question, the difference between a hire and no-hire recommendation can be quite marginal. There is a huge luck factor involved.

Could you explain the social reason for why this is? Is it because everyone else think they're better off sharing on the upside created by the Bullshitter, while not being as exposed to the downside? Do they think they can control the BS artist instead of the other way around?

> Carlo locates Google Chrome installed locally.

Is this part of what Microsoft is doing with Chrome being pre-installed (via Edge)? I can't find a source, but I heard that using the existing chrome on the machine would reduce disk size for applications and possibly even allow them to share memory.
The bigger factor is that it indicates that someone had the gumption to get there without the benefit of an academic and social system to motivate them. That is an impressive and unusual tendency of personality, and one that makes you an asset pretty much no matter where you are or what you’re doing. I want as many people like that in my organization as possible.
There were lots of white men who called for an end to slavery in the U.S. Should they have just shut up and not tried because they were "in a position of privilege?" Some things are just wrong, and it's probably a bad idea to call their critique out because of whatever other positions they may hold.

Just because someone is inherently wealthy doesn't mean their opinions on operations of a given company, that happens to carry their name, is wrong.
I got my first computer in 1996. I knew very little about computers but I knew I needed a "3d card" for games.

I bought a Matrox Mystique at the store. I knew nothing about 3dfx, OpenGL, Direct3D. I just knew I needed a 3D card.

The only thing it ran were the games came with and a handful of titles. It never ran GLQuake at all which became my favorite game. Total waste. Was a lot of money for 14 year old me.

I learned my lesson and researched the shit out of everything I bought after that.
Fair enough. I was looking at the prices here in Sweden and here the base model Kona is ~$18k cheaper than the base model SR+.
I think there is another way to read that comment. That lard is also unusual in Denmark, but the mechanisms being presented here don't really fit. In other words, there are other mechanisms at work, and perhaps that calls into question the narrative...

Of course it could just be that they are different places.

I consider all of your examples a form of corruption and fraud. It's not criminal, like embezzling, bribery, or extortion. But it has a similar deleterious effect on the individual and society through massive opportunity cost, and even psychotic disorder. Perhaps all of the hyper consumer people I know vacillate between purchase regret and social inadequacy when they resist purchasing. They've set themselves up to fail no matter the choice, and they're always stressed out about buying shit they don't need. It's a little bit stressful to even hear these stories of manufactured problems.
If Amazon takes too much of the revenue stream from those companies that produce the software might not be able to fund development.
I think this is a pretty good definition, except that in creative work (like developing a novel application), sleeping often produces some of the best epiphanies/solutions. The truth is this: we have patrons, and our value is not calculable by the hour.

I use mailbox.org. On the topic of crypro, they have a fairly neat feature where you can give them a PGP public key and they'll encrypt all plaintext messages you receive to your public key. Not perfect of course, but it means that your long-term message storage is encrypted on the server.

My only complaint with mailbox.org is that their 2FA system is really silly (you append your 2FA token to your passphrase, and there's no equivalent to Google's "app passwords").

I'll recount this story just for the sake of nostalgia.

Over the summer of 2001 or so I was having fun just writing little programs in VB5 while staying at my Dad's house. I wrote a flashy looking MP3 player (basically a front end for Windows Media player I embedded into the project) which made extensive use of native Windows GUI API. All the animations were smooth and fast. I felt pretty good about myself. When summer was over I went back home and found that my MP3 player animations didn't run smooth on my PC. Slow, janky, lots of flickering. What the hell? Turns out my Dad's PC had a Matrox card in it and was massively faster at 2D rendering than my PC.
