I have very high hopes for ai/automation. Maybe not 10 years, but can you be sure 20 years is safe? What if your kid started med school in 10 years, and by the time they get through residency they could be replaced by robots? It's a possibility...

I think specific 'parts' of medicine are more adaptable to change... PCP's could be 'mostly' automated. I'm not saying it'll be 100%, but say 20% stay around for a decade or two as management overseeing the robotic slaves -- making sure they have > levels of care and lower death rates than a human would by a magnitude big enough to avoid lawsuits.

There's not a job in sight that can't someday be done better by a robot. Even software developer. I don't know when, I just know on a long enough timeline it's almost inevitable.
Have they solved the world model problem, or mentioned anything about that? If not, they are lost in noise.

Video streams are so full of maybe signals, and ML loves that. As long as they don't have a fundamental (sub)system that knows how much space it needs to safely proceed at the current speed, how the 99.99% of the roads of the world work geometrically, and how to infer this from visual data, they are in trouble.

(That said, I guess Karpathy is perfectly aware of this.)

Dark matter doesn’t interact with any of the forces other than gravity and possibly the weak force.

Not interacting with the electromagnetic force is the same thing as not emitting light.

But this also means that DM cannot be cold baryonic matter.

MOND or any other modifications of Newtonian Gravity or GR aren’t random.

In the case of MOND (and TEVES) Gravity is modified but it’s modified in a manner that is consistent with both macro and micro observations it’s not adding a random dice throw.

The reason why people went after MOND and the rest is that Newtonian Gravity is surprisingly accurate even without using PPN.

Now the big problem with MOND and most of the other modifications is the speed of gravitational waves that pretty much shut down much of the discussion.

That said I’m not entirely sure they had the wrong idea at this point I think it’s more likely we don’t understand something about gravity or space time than there is a new class of matter out there.

That said the fact that we have both found clusters which apparently more dark matter than usual and those which seem to completely lack DM is still a good reason to continue searching for DM.

However I really don’t like how MOND proponents were treated especially pre-LIGO.
Based on whose definition? Is a journalism degree a requirement? If you define it solely in economic terms, then a part-time stringer for Reuters isn't a journalist because, after all, they're not "professional" journalists. Wasn't this the argument made in Myanmar when it incarcerated the two Reuters 'journalists'? Freelance journalists are not journalists? Or do you want to go down the path of having government license journalists? Then there's no doubt.
Some countries do this already. The writers who contributed to Ariana Huffington's blog but didn't share in the payday when she sold it? Were they journalists? The DoJ reached the conclusion that there was no principled distinction between the NYTimes and Wikileaks. Trump's DoJ reached a different conclusion. The UK has already recognized Assange as a journalist. He may be a new media journalist, he may be a crusading journalist, he may be an unpopular journalist, but he is a journalist by any reasonable definition: he gathers news and publishes it.
“Absolute colorimetric” makes no sense in this context. So the answer is always “perceptual” or “relative colorimetric”. But that alone doesn’t really tell you what to do. A rendering intent is not a gamut mapping algorithm, and there are many possible gamut mapping algorithms.

Here’s a 300 page monograph discussing more or less the state of the art 10 years ago, https://amzn.co/0470030321

But here’s the thing... it doesn’t really matter. Their current choice is to just treat everything untagged as being in the display’s profile and do no color management. This is pretty much the worst possible choice.

The specification is very clear. Untagged colors in CSS/HTML are sRGB. Period. Doesn’t matter if they are specified as RGB or HSL coordinates (P.S. it was a huge mistake to add the latter to the web; HSL/HSV should never be used for any purpose).

Currently most of the browsers flagrantly violate the specification.

The browsers have been doing things wrong since forever. People who know anything about it have been annoyed since forever, but their feedback seems to have very little influence. Everyone else is blissfully ignorant, except for often encountering weird color bugs that they don’t understand the cause of.

> Should a CSS box with "no colorspace" #ff0000, when displayed on two calibrated displays of equal luminosity but differing (sRGB, P3) color profiles, appear visually identical to the human eye (Safari) or should it be more saturated on P3 (Firefox)?

It should appear more or less the same on both. The spec explicitly specifies that it is sRGB. Under no circustances should it be naively treated as P3. However some gamut mapping algorithms might make it slightly more colorful when going from sRGB -> P3 (without significantly altering lightness/hue relationships between colors).

> What is the correct CSS declaration to specify P3

This is something to take up with the CSS spec authors. They can add some ability to opt-in to tagging non-sRGB colors. If the spec doesn’t support it, then there is no way.

* * *

Edit: Your linked draft spec clarifies that something like relative colorimetric intent must be used. “Implementations may choose to implement these steps in some other way (for example, using an ICC profile with relative colorimetric rendering intent) provided the results are the same for colors inside the source and destination gamuts.”

So your answer about the untagged #ff0000 is that it should look pretty well identical on both displays.

Glad they are adding some facility for non-sRGB colors to CSS. Of course it wouldn’t be the W3C if they didn’t also add some useless clutter in every new spec. The “HWB” color space? Who comes up with such nonsense?

(Compare to SVG trying to add turtle graphics and Catmull–Rom splines to their path specification mini-format, for basically no reason, in the latest draft spec.)

I did read the article, considering I linked it in the first place. The snark isn't necessary.

The ending of that article is a very resigned "this is all you can do. This is why it's this way, though.". The article is absolutely a criticism of how the bug process works.

The entire point of all of this is that Apple needs to play the game better. You have a weird habit of popping up in every single thread to defend them, and I've noted your past associations with them in other threads, so I'll probably not bother responding to this further.
I think a lot of people are keeping that a secret and I do have quite some places I would not want associated with my public persona.

Any place that gets too much attention will at some point succumb to a form of mainstream zeitgeist. That also results in platforms like facebook getting boring outside of private groups.

It’s a simple risk reward call. There is far more risk of accidentally crossing the line with the opposite sex. Yes MeToo has shed light on a lot and no doubt been a net positive but there will be a time until the dust settles and people learn how to work together safely. We no longer have a good formal set of norms for male female interaction. Maybe that could make some sense in situations like the work place where there is a power difference.
Niki Lauda is the man I will always remember as the one who successfully threatened Boeing into admitting they were at fault for a thrust reverser issue that caused the crash of Lauda Air Flight 004, operated by his company [1].

He had the courage to say that if Boeing does not recognize they were at fault, he would fly a plane himself in conditions similar to the crash and see if he could reproduce the issue.

What budget? It's one or a handful of people writing a blog. I'm sure the budget of The Atlantic, founded in the 1800s, dwarfs that of SSC.

Maybe not lie per se but they might have multiple data stores, one for the "social media" side of things and an archive for machine learning, one for targeted ads, etc. So they could legitimately say "we delete your data [from the perspective of social media]" while still having an archive for their other business units.

It wouldn't be the first time Facebook (nor any other business that profits from people's data) have been deceptive while treading a careful line between honesty and lies.

edit: I should add that if they were keeping archived records in a separate business unit, there is the possibility that they keep the original or even all edits. So scrambling your data might not do much aside confusing those who have you in their feed.

> Generations of hackers have been expressing designs perfectly well with traditional class syntaxes.

“Traditional class syntaxes” have existed for only half the time since people started thinking about object-oriented programming in the 1950s— C++ was only invented in 1983, and didn’t get popular until the mid-90s. That puts it in widespread use for only one generation, and about due to be supplanted by the next major paradigm (maybe async/promises/futures).

It won’t go away, of course: structured, functional, and procedural programming are all standard tools used by most programmers today alongside object orientation. We just have enough experience with them to know what problems each is best and worst suited for, and this is what you’re seeing in Rust; it treats OOP as one useful tool in the toolbox instead of a panacea that makes everything better.

> can you be sure 20 years is safe?

I think you're looking at this all wrong. If robots replace me then that means the robots are safer than I am and do a better job. That's awesome. By the time robots have replaced me, they would have long ago replaced accountants and lawyers. We'd be living in a super efficient world. The human element is extremely important in medicine/surgery so we won't be replaced for a little longer. For a long time it'll be there to help us and make our jobs easier.

It's like another industrial revolution where we all have more time to... not work.

I am not defined by my career.

But... I don't see this happening even in the next 20 years. We can't even yet trust cars to drive forward, back, left and right safely with strict rules, markings and signage to guide them.

> 9x more likely to hesitate to travel together for work

> 6x more likely to hesitate to have work dinners.

I think a contributing factor is that harassment can ultimately be a he-said/she-said kind of deal. You hear horror stories about men being falsely accused and getting their lives ruined (though I don't know how big that number is, but it's something to get mad about so it gets a lot of attention). Exemplified by the 12x more likely to hesitate to have 1-on-1 meetings. Any fix for this seems to be bad, adding third parties, adding surveillance, etc. All of that points to 'one of these parties is not to be trusted'.
No training needed, just treat us like fellow human beings. It's not a high bar.
Australian and NZ *Always* Free Property Listing
I'm guessing 1-on-1?
After 1 google search: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/curr...

It includes a deep link straight into their repository right at the top: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/tree/7.1/distributi...

In short, their Docker build process is part of the elasticsearch repository. So, it's actually part of their normal build process and not something that happens with a separate build in some different repository. Personally, I think this is a good practice.

That's for both the OSS and non OSS images. They produce these with every build. And they probably test them too, which I think is the responsible thing to do and something I'd expect from them.

They use gradle to build their docker images from a Docker file (https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/7.1/distributi...) that essentially untars the tar ball produced by their build. This looks pretty straightforward and free of magic steps.

So, read the source. It's all there. You can build from source or do your own thing. A variant of their Docker file where you just wget their tar ball shouldn't be that hard to do.

As it often happens, we went from one extreme to the other.
As a Bostonian I agree. There was some recent Massachusetts legislation to limit non-competes but I wish they'd done away with them entirely like in California.
Good for you, because that's a fantastic name.
As far as I understood, the solution to this in sandboxes such as the js world, is simply to deny anyone using timers with a resolution that could reveal cache misses. How much is software really relying on timers with this resolution? What would it mean if CPU manufacturers simply gave up and said "to mitigate side channels, you can't have a clock that is so accurate that it lets you measure whether X has happened because knowing that is equivalent to reading any memory".

Or, instead of detecting various things and flushing out sensitive data on some context switch, the CPU just adds noise to the timers instead? I'm gussing this is a complete no-go, but I'm wondering why it is?
This was similar to the reaction of the Americans with Disabilities act. After the ADA was passed, the amount of disabled people employed actually decreased. Employers know that hiring an ADA employee would potentially result in an ADA lawsuit, so they avoided hiring them. It was the old well intention law with unintended consequences.
Four tools for building embedded Linux systems
Then you're using a select few apps that fit your use-case.

The merits of Electron are explained, at length, elsewhere, and the market has spoken multiple times as to why people pick it over alternative environments. Microsoft outright courts the HTML/CSS/JS crowd because they know it matters, and that's where the developers are. Google does the same, FB has been pushing the model for native apps in more ways than you can count for years now.

It's not going away, and it's eating every Desktop GUI framework's lunch. A GUI framework (like AppKit) cannot stand against something like that without Apple actually investing in it. AppKit (or whatever they use, ala Marzipan) needs to strive to be as easy and straightforward to use as the web, or it won't matter. Comparatively few people actually care about writing a GUI and just want it to work, the interesting things are elsewhere... so you need to offer something that "just works" and is easy to debug.

(Qt is not this)

Also, "Native" is a horrendously overloaded term in these discussions. When saying it in the context of Qt, for instance, it's incorrect - Qt draws custom controls on the different platforms. A good example that I hit daily is Dolphin, it simply doesn't look correct on Mac even with the Qt switch. It feels like a Windows program shoved into a foreign OS, much like GTK does on Windows.

Rust's approach is very much not "duck typing".
Yes it's terrible, it's like they've just given up. I started just at the beginning of the OS X era and the documentation was already much less good than the classic "Inside Mac" stuff, but they did at least attempt to keep it up to date for a while. But over the last ten years it seems to have got a lot worse.

I don't do so much low level Windows stuff but my perception is that the quality has dropped off significantly there, too; I remember local installs of MSDN being really complete and easy to use, but last time I looked online they seemed to have moved away from that and it was just a mess of broken links and missing info.

Although he was brave in saying that, he really had no choice. LaudaAir was being criticised at the time for scaling-up too quickly and putting crews under a lot of stress, with duty rosters pushed to the limit and minimal rest time. Pilot unions had said that an accident was inevitable, and then one happened.

There was genuinely a technical failing with the 767 but he had to do something headline-ish to emphasise that and to shift suspicion away from his management style.

To his credit, his later airline ventures were more sensibly planned and paced and didn't involve him flying routes to fill staffing gaps. He does seem to have been open to learning.

The problem is people don't know what will offend you so they play the safe route of avoiding all contact. No discussions means no risk of lawsuit, accusations etc.

I used to work at a construction company where the owner was paranoid about sexual harassment lawsuits. For this reason, he specifically hired overweight older women for all of the administrative staff because he knew this would minimize the risk of sexual harassment lawsuits. The company never had any issues with it.
Has anyone got an opinion on what makes a service mesh better than using a message broker for most distributed systems? Is it performance? Is it that http has become the lowest common denominator and people just don't want to use any other communication protocol?
Another anecdote, my Russian, very Dutchified colleague and friend bought a very expensive and nice watch with many survival/hiking functions (compass, altitude meter etc.). The watch was unobtrusive and minimalistic (and black). We both though it was very functional and a sign of good taste and an eye for quality. His Russian family though did not understand how he could have spend that amount of money on a watch that was not "expensive looking".

The Netherlands is currently at risk of turning into the Mexico of Europe but nobody is willing to let it go because nobody wants the country to end up like Mexico.

If you really want to, you can "manufacture" high resolution timer pretty easily with thread spinning.
Fond memories of watching him race in his last ever F1 race with McLaren in Adelaide in (I think) '86. I was seated at the end of the long Brabham straight, and near the end of the race, Nikki's brakes gave out and he hit the wall only a few dozen metres from me. The entire crowd gave him a standing ovation as he got out of the car and walked back to the pits waving to everyone.
