One big problem I continue to see is that the behaviour you get used to can change with a software update and I think that's dangerous. People can naturally let down their guard when things become routine and may be ill prepared to deal with an unexpected change in behaviour from the autopilot.
Cool idea. 20' might be hard to transport... I think a lot of overpasses only clear 13ish feet. You might think about designing a mechanism to lower the roof for transportation.

You're correct that drones are more expensive than satellite imagery at scale--I'm currently working on a startup in this space that cuts the cost of imaging by between 100x and 10,000x depending on the target location.

Does your experience with Atrium suggest that this kind of functionality is feasible? Even developing a 'law as code' platform where NDAs can be written by computer experts in a DSL, formally analysed and compiled to English seems like a major engineering challenge, let alone building a system that can accept an unstructured PDF and parse out its legal implications. That's a far cry from the 'busy work' (filling out templates, making sure the right people have signed them, and keeping copies) discussed in this article.
Yes, because the suburbs are always a good option for families who aren't into the whole collective living thing.

And it makes sense. When you have a kid, that kid is your priority. There's less incentice to be willing to sacrifice for others who aren't your genetic progeny.

Full disclosure, I personally think having a kid is the single most selfish act a human can do. I don't mind it obviously, but do observe that it's amazing when other people expect me to prefer their offsprings' benefit over anything else.

No, you're already looking out for them. I think it makes sense to treat them like any other human, since that's all they are to me.

The power delivered to the rear MOTOR (not engine) is not the same for take-off and cruising.

A motor that would overheat at takeoff power won't necessarily overheat at cruise and would be designed not to overheat in an aircraft application.

> I think the answer to this is a rather blatant “of course!”

It's not as blatant as you think. It takes experienced scientists to review submitted papers, and their time is an expensive resource. Is it interesting that a research team with a sloppy adherence to a methodology failed to replicate a study? Not really. Should Science give resources and a platform to people who are just careless researchers? Obviously not. It's easy to fail to replicate an experiment; just do a bad job.

> The real downfall of icfp is that in the past 10 years, anyone talented enough to participate

I don't think the optimization is the biggest problem. If you look at it, Endo in 2007 was "optimization", you had to find the shortest prefix to save our alien friend. But the problem had more meat to it and it was different from the problems that came before.

People are no different today than 10-20 years ago, and more good young people are created all the time who can participate. If anything, there are way more capable people that can participate today than 20 years ago.

The problems are now all the same. Why would you waste your time doing this year's problem when the problem from last year is nearly identical but with a different two-paragraph lead-in story.

Regardless of our diagnosis, the numbers bear out that the ICFP contest is slowly dying. The number of teams submitting from 2014 to 2018: 275, 230, 203, 120, 107.

We have a few more years before it's scrapped at this rate.

Interesting article. I wish he touched on another point, which is the political monoculture in tech and media. The left has a vice grip on the discourse in these industries. Many conservatives have a justified fear of speaking publicly, worried they’ll be labeled a racist/nazi and have trouble getting jobs or making sales. I’m not sure what the downstream effects of this will be, but the culture of ostracizing wrongthink is real, and a worrying trend.

“””The undisputed documents show that AT&T installed a fiberoptic splitter at its facility at 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco that makes copies of all emails web browsing and other Internet traffic to and from AT&T customers and provides those copies to the NSA. This copying includes both domestic and international Internet activities of AT&T customers. As one expert observed, “this isn’t a wiretap, it’s a country-tap.”

Secret government documents, published by the media in 2013, confirm the NSA obtains full copies of everything that is carried along major domestic fiber optic cable networks.”””
The pipes were in place for many decades. Jailing decades worth of city officials would be unjust.

Neighboring cities were better run. They struggled to fund pipe replacement without any state or federal help. They did it. If now Flint gets handed money for being irresponsible, shouldn't those other cities get paid the money with interest? We're providing an incentive to be irresponsible if we reward Flint. Voters chose irresponsible people to run the city.

Flint was so badly run that the state had to intervene, sending people to make difficult emergency decisions. If somebody is to be blamed, it should be the people who came before. It should be the people who ran the city into the ground for decades, not the people who got stuck trying to salvage a far-gone hopeless mess.

There are so many different reports like this that searching for them is boring.

So which manufacturers do you have in mind when you say that "most" of them are offering comparable safety systems?
I don't think it's just because the devs get bored. It's because the users crack the shits if their specific use cases aren't handled, and when it comes to 'frameworks' nobody wants to switch or use anything that's not the most popular, so over time they just get more and more bloated trying to handle more use cases.

It's twice as bad if there's financial incentives for having a userbase (see all the tools not owned by FB/Google etc where the contributors sell training etc) because then it literally pays to add as much crap into your library as possible to try and get as many people using it as you can, regardless of the effect it has on quality. Even if something would make more sense as a fork or alternative, it's getting added in, whether it's good for the library and ecosystem or not.

I was worried about the “diffusion of responsibility” issue, so I rented one on Turo for the day and drove around 200 miles on freeways in Northern California. The user interface is really good, you learn pretty quickly the right amount of force to hold the wheel - then you can let it “autosteer”, but taking control is instantaneous, you just make the movement you want and the car disengages autosteer instantly. I probably took over from the car around 10 times that day, mainly in the left-hand lane with the left edge of the freeway marked with 2-foot-high white concrete barriers, it felt like it wanted to go into them. But that might just have been the car trying to drive “properly” in the center of the lane, while I tend to hug the right side in those situations to have a greater margin of error on the left.

It definitely reduces the cognitive load, letting you drive better in my opinion. But there isn’t an idiot-sensor in the car, so like every technology, there will be people who abuse it. The interesting question is whether those same idiots would be safer in a regular car, or if, on balance, the “autopilot+idiot” combination is safer - that seems like an empirical question to me.

Even at the current level, it’s a great advance on a regular car (I have no idea how it compares to other expensive cars with various assistive technologies, I usually buy super cheap cars...). I also think that if fully autonomous driving is technically possible, then Tesla will be the one to do it - they have several hundred thousand drivers giving them training data in all sorts of weird edge cases every day.

It really is worth watching the whole of the recent investor event at Tesla and then deciding what you think of their technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucp0TTmvqOE

Windows and macOS each have a built-in screen reader with a standard keyboard shortcut to turn it on. On Windows 10 version 1703 and later, you can turn on Narrator with Control+Windows+Enter. On macOS, you can turn on VoiceOver with Command+F5.

I think it's fair to say that most blind Windows users still use a third-party Windows screen reader. But at least they can use Narrator to get through the setup process and install their preferred screen reader.
That's actually a nice lifehack. Much simplier than jq. Unfortunately, would be harder to make all kinds of logical conditions for which jq allows (even if not that intuitively).

It still feels like there must be something in between, some way to make queries with json more naturally, than with jq, yet with enough power.

I can attest to how rewarding this can feel. I wrote a static site generator for my site as well[1] and it looks like both of us have a lot of common goals.

Gatsby is the only exemption to this but writing my blog in JSX isn't too appealing.

I have a few Emacs org-mode[0] files in a git repository. I have one for work, one for personal projects, and one for home stuff. Works great for me.

I often take notes during meetings. The trick is to maintain eye contact with whoever you're speaking to so they know you're paying attention to them, not working on something else.

Sometimes I'll just bring a notebook and my pen, but I will generally put those notes into my org file afterwards.

I also track every project I work on in org-mode, with lots of TODO entries. Without it I have a pretty hard time staying on track.

Yeah, the first time I drove one, I was holding the wheel at the bottom, with two hands, but not tight enough. The car gave me 3 warnings, then disabled autopilot for the rest of the journey. I had to get off the freeway, stop, get out and lock the car, then it would let me use autopilot again...

This is not a language issue, but programmers who have made a mistake. The same thing would happen if an assembly programmer were not to set the correct registers or push all the arguments to the stack before calling an other function. The same thing would happen in most languages if a programmer declared their FFI incorrectly.

So Programmer/s have written function prototypes for the Fortran functions, but they have omitted the length parameter in that prototype. That is the reason behind this. It should have never worked to begin with but the way it was handled on the FORTRAN side things meant for single length strings it did not crash. GCC probably could have just made the change they wanted, but they don't want to break existing code right away that is technically already broken.

It boils down to some programmer/s doing the following.

int foo(char str);

instead of

int foo(char str, int len); // The correct prototype.

The prototype is you saying there is a function that exists with this name, return type and parameters. The compiler will then construct calls with what you have defined as the function prototype. Then when linking the linker just looks at the name of the called function and replaces it with the address/memory position of the function.
I don't actually care at all what the subject of the study is, so the Democrat/Republican thing is just a total nothing to me personally.

Being wrong is not immoral. Being wrong, telling bunches of people the wrong information, and then making no effort to fix your mistake once you have the chance is at least dubious on my personal moral spectrum.
And that is a huge problem. Are you arguing that because null results are rarely published, we should publish them even less?

Other jurisdictions have relaxed the rule against profit-sharing and I don't think there have been any major ethical problems as a result.
