>Preferring to die by human error instead of shitty software doesn't make logical sense to me and feels like your trying to justify something irrational.

The poster, camjohnson26, did not say die, the poster said crash.

Camjohnson26's point as I understood it was to compare two situations:

1. A crash that occurs because one of the drivers was extreme drunk,

2. A crash that occurs because of an autopilot in one of vehicles did not make the current action.

In the first case most people and the legal system will likely conclude that the drunk driver was at fault. In the second case it will be more difficult to determine who was at fault. This second case may add legal, insurance and ethical complications that camjohnson26 wishes to avoid. For instance what if your insurance decides you are at fault for activating the autopilot under unsafe conditions?

Yes, that evaluation was committed by Chris Lattner -- see https://github.com/tensorflow/swift/commit/028f245ef3ca735b1...

Don't mistake the evaluation of an entire company with one person's opinion. In general, large companies and especially Google have parallel teams solving the same problems in different ways, and many new approaches pop up over time. The vast majority either dies or finds a small niche somewhere.

It's understandable that the author of Swift will think his language is the best for X. It's also understandable that one of the creators of Julia will find any opportunity to toot their horn. That's how the industry goes. None of this should be taken as a formal endorsement by a large company, simply because such endorsements are exceedingly rare. Consider the fact that Google created several programming languages by now (including popular ones like Go), but it still has thousands of coders writing millions upon millions of LOC of new Java code every year.
> Their app bundles are not binaries, they are a directory structure.

Yes, but on Linux no file manager understands directories as bundles (except perhaps GNUstep's GWorkspace).

> Also I don't really understand why anyone on Linux would want this.

Because they want to distribute binaries themselves or via a 3rd party distribution site (ie. not part of a linux distribution) without having the user compile the code themselves (either out of convenience or because they do not want or cannot distribute the source code).

Having said that this is mainly useful in case you want to distribute a single binary that supports multiple architectures. Almost everything is distributed in archives (even self-extracting archives can be shell scripts - although annoyingly enough, software like GNOME's file manager make this harder) so you can use a shell script to launch the proper binary without kernel support.

No they don't, some assholes push them and make them fall on purpose, I have seen it done many times here in Paris. Those idiot vigilantes seem to hope that by wreaking havoc they will increase the negative perception of the population against the scooters and their riders.
> Isn’t that the whole point of leadership? You’re in control, and in exchange you’re also responsible.

When contemplating giving executives that responsibility, are we going to give the needed flexibility to immediately dismiss employees who represent part of the chain of threat to the company's customers?

You can have almost outcome you want; you can't have every outcome you want. If you want strong employee protections, you can't have ironclad and exhaustive executive responsibility.

Might have been the case during AMD bulldozer. There, they were still doing well by surviving with a massive fab disadvantage.

From Zen thereon, they've been more or less on par in single threaded performance, and have the performance edge on multicore performance, while being cheaper and unaffected by most of these new CPU vulnerabilities, on top of that.

It doesn't cost me a lot of money, indeed, and I'm happy to pay the couple of Euro's that it does. GGP suggested that you shouldn't let Medium earn money over your content, though; even if that's something you care about, it's still a better deal than paying for your blog yourself.
That's assuming the police actually intend to arrest you. When questioned by police, you cannot talk yourself out of an arrest. If they already have evidence, they just want a confession to give the prosecutor a slam dunk case, but if they do not have evidence, saying you won't speak without a lawyer present will usually cause them to move on to the next person on their list, and you won't spend a dime on counsel or time in jail.

A lawyer helps ensure the innocent don't get screwed by a mistaken witness, a vindictive prosecutor, or a corrupt cop, and that the guilty don't get railroaded with a laundry list of bullshit charges. Money spent on a lawyer will generally pay dividends when you consider the cost of false convictions and false arrest - losing your job, bills going unpaid while you're behind bars (and the interest, penalties, evictions, and reposessions resulting from them), damage to your credit, trying to find a new apartment with an eviction on your record, having to get a new car, etc. All these factors combine to make people who go to jail far worse off when they get out, regardless of their guilt.

It's certainly the latter. There's a small research team at Google evaluating whether Swift is a good candidate to replace Python as the de-facto language for ML. That's all there is to it.
I found this to be true as well. But I think having broad knowledge is helpful regardless to construct new mental models in the work we do. You may not go super deep anymore but understanding the basics of different fields of study is still super useful.
MonsterCloud quote: “Our goal is to restore the data and help the customer. If we need to walk to the moon on broken glass, we will. We don’t care how, what, where, whatever. Our goal is to get the data out.” Sounds like if they don't care how, paying the criminals is a viable option for them.
Does AMD do any speculative execution?

My understanding from a Google blog that talked about it indicated that Google felt like almost any speculative execution... is a risk. So while there might not be someone exploiting it now, they considered the practice potentially an issue. Accordingly future performance will possibly still degrade later as further changes are possibly needed?
I wonder if entrepreneurship is a counter example?

True, people looking to hire someone are almost always looking for a specialist.

But if you are starting a business, you are almost required to perform many different kinds of roles at the beginning, until you grow to the point where you can hire specialists for all the various functions of the business.

I think the bitrate stingyness comes from the fact that people tend to watch Netflix at home over wired internet and they listen to streaming music over a more expensive wireless connection, often on crappy headphones.

There are higher bitrate services out there. Deezer will stream FLAC and there are probably others.

Where are you buying FLAC files from? For now I'm still happy with physical CDs although I have ripped them to ALAC. I'm not sure what the difference is, but when I scroll through my library on iTunes there's never anything I want to listen to, but if I look through my physical discs I always find something I want to put on.

Thank you for sharing. I wish you and your daughter all the best.
Sorry, I don't have any further insight, as my reply was based on information from the posted story.
I wouldn't say so. The CIA and high ranking military officials certainly hated him and wanted him dead. There was a strong motive and there many inconsistencies in the way the case was handled afterwards. The majority of higher ranking CIA officials really considered JFK a traitor, because he didn't send air support at the bay of pigs (following through with what he had clearly stated all along). There were claims that he had been subverted by the Soviets, was deliberately sabotaging the country, etc.

Personally, I remain agnostic but find it fairly credible that Oswald personally met a group of conspirators from the CIA a few days before the shooting and these people encouraged him to do what he did, maybe even made him some false promises about what would happen afterwards. It's also not unlikely that the killing of Oswald himself followed a similar pattern.

That's all speculation, but overall reasonable speculation, because of the existing motives. Many conspiracy theories are weak, because they fail to lay out a credible motive. JFK is not one of those cases.
If I were made god emperor of some country I'd switch everyone to autonomous cars as soon as they were safer than normal driving. But sadly I'm not and both Tesla and the government are going to be constrained by public opinion. And one important aspect of that is that people are more accepting of danger when they feel like they're in control than when they don't.

So for a successful rollout they need to be much safer than human drivers. This is something that looks achievable. But if you try to push them out too early you might get a backlash that delays progress and costs more lives in the long run through slower adoption when they're ready.
East Timor at the forefront of fixing the global recycling crisis
People and companies are ready and willing to pay. The resistance comes from open source projects doing unscrupulous things like changing the license terms of the original project. As a contributor to some projects which eventually removed the open source option and went full proprietary, it's hard not to feel slighted. I didn't sign a CLA and wasn't consulted in the unilateral decision. The damages aren't large enough to justify taking legal action, but it hurts to watch your contributions essentially stolen from you.

In my experience this was never a huge problem -- if I remember correctly, servers I played on actually had some ability to "own" areas of the server so you were the only one with edit privileges for that area. And of course there's always the idea of hiding your construction underground or underwater somewhere hard to find :)

As written above, the cut is this evaluation -- https://github.com/tensorflow/swift/commit/028f245ef3ca735b1...

... written by Chris Lattner when he joined Google Brain and found Python lacking as a language for doing ML work. He evaluated a bunch of alternatives and decided that Swift would be a good choice, so he's now working with a team to explore that.

As far as Google at large is concerned, there was no cut of anything. Google keeps producing new ML code in Python and new ML frameworks in Python on a daily basis
the whole point of aldi is that its decent quality but cheap generics. Their generics are pretty good.
Being responsible for an organization you lead is distinct from the notion of being innocent until proven guilty. Proving guilt would consist of proving that the organization did the things it was accused of, and proving that you led it.

I agree. I mostly listen to classical music, although I also rip them but most of the time I still use cds. It seems current music players on computers never thought about creating classical music pieces playlist. I had to manually add pieces to create them with correct order or just add albums which is the same as just playing a cd.

In the end, I listen to music with CD players mostly, and still insist on buy a car with CD player
Mine got into it aged 8 and 9 and at least one of them still plays occasionally. She's 14 now. No regrets, it’s been good for them. It’s 21st century Lego. They create homes and worlds and share them with their friends, play competitive building games online, play team games of all sorts. It seems like a great online play space with a strong creative streak in it.

I think it's a much better use of their time than watching cartoons. Although I did get my girls into Sailor Moon and the modern run of My Little Pony. I'm a strong believer in giving kids a grounding in the Classics.

What does 'wanting a conspiracy' mean? When people read the facts of events such as the JFK or Palme assassination and anomolies and inconsistencies become apparent they go looking for answers.

Linux wouldn't be integral to their business. They could also easily run wordpress on BSD, or a Solaris derivative (Illumos), or Windows. Either Apache or Nginx specifically also wouldn't be integral, as they could use one or the other, or some other web server that works with PHP. PHP is integral to their business, but they're not using any special feature of it that others aren't, most likely (and it's not a small community, so there are plenty of people that would be affected by any one problem).

Wordpress is integral to their business. If they run into a WordPress bug, it would be useful for them to have access to someone that could track it down and diagnose it.

Any heavily used WordPress plugins, or custom WordPress plugins might be integral to their business. They maybe should have someone that can look into problems with those.

If a million other people are using the same feature as you that might cause problems, you're probably safe letting the community provide a fix. If 1000 other people are using the feature, who knows how long that fix will take in coming? If the developer is busy, it could be days.

It's a function of how important it is to a business and how rare/replacable it is.
This is the most backwards part of this whole argument. Democrats want the status quo or even more people competing for and pushing down wages on the low end. Their immigration policies hurt the poor the most. Republicans want to bring in highly educated, high skill people who will suppress the wages of the middle and upper middle class.

Somehow no one that matters in politics is willing to point this out against the other side.
I wonder how much Aldi's rise in America has to do with consumers facing steep wage stagnation and less discretionary income.

They also require huge populations to travel on them to justify the huge costs. That's where California falls short.

If we doubled the population, it would be pretty OK, and we have the job market for it, but that would require constructing housing, and California doesn't do that.

The article does not include any context or reference at which level it would include a region to be "vegetarian" and not a "myth" and is quite ... optimistic... in its conclusions.

For instance, it lists the percentage of vegetarians as

- Indore: 49%
- Meerut: 36%
- Delhi: 30%

To me this would indicate that the "myth" is true.
Similarly, they report that about 15% of people eat beef instead of the official estimate of about 7%. While the factor is interesting, this is still very far from high and does not support their summary that "the extent of beef eating is much higher than claims and stereotypes suggest".

CO2 Levels Just Hit Another Record–Here’s Why It Matters
Spotify has never recommended a typical “top 40” mainstream artist to me. I looked at the top 100 Billboard list and while I recognize most of the artists, I don’t recognize any of the songs or albums since i don’t listen to those artists. The only exception is that I have listened to Offset’s songs recently.

The algo isn’t the best, but it’s not awful or just giving you the most popular music around. For example they never recommended Billie Eilish to me which would be a win for their algo not just recommending popular things that are sort of adjacent to music I’m listening to.

Checking the playlists Spotify created for me, they seem pretty decent. Nothing to do with top charting pop music.

Last.fm syncs with Spotify seamlessly too and many other platforms.

If it's a proposal by the government, they could do better: they could mandate not only automatic speed limiters, but also something embedded in the roads like balises (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balise) to reliably indicate to the car the correct speed limit.
Awesome! I love to see data driven analysis like this. I don’t really agree with some of the conclusions though, such as:

> Contrary to the common belief that message passing is less error-prone, more blocking bugs in our studied Go applications are caused by wrong message passing than by wrong shared memory protection.

I don’t think anyone has argued that in Go you’ll have less message passing bugs than shared memory, especially considering that Go makes it really easy to use these constructs, so they get used more. My understanding of the argument is that these arguments are made in relation to other mainstream languages. This conclusion is relatively meaningless to me and I’m not sure how to interpret it.

Some random notes and thoughts from the first try:

Front page:

- I really like the simple layout & design

- It loads 45 MB of GIFs. Maybe using actual <video>s or just JPG/WEBP photos in a slideshow would be better for webpage use – smaller size and better image quality.

- What do the Dell/Uber/… logos mean in this context?

- Which nonprofits do you donate to?

Video creator itself:

- Another huge GIF

- You're trying to load something from `HTTP://zeus.instantvideos.org/` on a HTTPS page, which produces a warning in some browsers, and is blocked altogether in some others (like my FF 66)

- When selecting photos to use, clicking the selection marker circle does nothing. Clicking the image outside the circle selects it, but i kinda expected the circles to behave like checkboxes

- The "check" button in the coupon form is hidden behind "back" and "purchase" buttons in wider viewports (and scroll does not work in that container): https://i.vgy.me/utX2Fx.png

- When i tried importing from my instagram account, nothing apparent happened. After poking around in browser devtools, it got HTTP 500 from us-central1-awesome-video-maker.cloudfunctions.net/instagram with a "user page has only 15 posts" message. Maybe it could print that to the form somewhere…

- Some free demo (max. five photos with your watermark?) would be nice

- /favicon.ico returns the HTML page itself for some reason (ah, it seems that all 404s are redirected to index.html)
