> Is Elizabeth the 2nd the most popular person in that list of people or is beth a common name?

If I Google "Elizabeth", there is no link to the Wikipedia page for Elizabeth II on the first page in Google (I do realize of course that Google results can differ wildly by person), but Elizabeth I, and links to various news items about Elizabeth II. Of course people might click Elizabeth I and end up clicking through to her. I have a hard time thinking that drives a huge amount of traffic, though. If I Google "Beth", neither queen is on the first page.

But I'd think the huge amount of the news coverage about her related to a long range of other events and people, is likely what drives a large part of what drives the Wikipedia lookups. E.g. she's probably been in the news even more than usual over the last year over things like the Trump visits and the Meghan Markle wedding, but there's also a steady stream of coverage of her due to various other visits to/by high profile people.
Shielding would also add weight to the drone, which would limit their range and capabilities.

A swarm of advancing drones could collectively take evasive maneuvers to increase their probability of success. As individual drones drop out of the sky the remaining drones could reposition themselves, much like a split frame in bowling, making it harder for one of these devices to rotate back and forth and hit all of them.
As opposed to the fart apps on iOS? No there were rubbish apps on all other platforms just that Apple created the iFund to promote startups based on apps and Google also had issues with app quality and quantity early too.
The GP saw a chance to denigrate someone, took it, and when others questioned the motivations behind the denigration, he or she retreated to some kind of weird psuedo-objectivity.

>Inferentially speaking, this remark says more about you than the data point does about the accused

Shortly after:

>It's why I specifically called that out and nothing more

Self-righteousness is a weird thing.
Ideas are common goods. Virtually everything claimed by V was tried in at least one or other forms with varying degrees of success. As always the execution is hard.
The only form of ageism I've experienced was reverse. I entered dev professionally in my 40s, and it was frequently assumed because of my age that I knew more than I truly did. In consequence I was often given higher levels of responsibility than my experience merited (regardless of my protestations). This might have been good for someone more brilliant than I, but I found it a problem - it made it very hard for me to learn from other people, and although it's hard to accurately replay history I would say this slowed my skills development. It certainly made working in tech less pleasant for me than it might have been.
Vertical specific chat bots with some basic AI intent analysis actually work like a charm. Watson, Dialog Flow, Rasa, Digital Genius and Azure Bot Framework are all solid options.

Chat bots got a bad rep as people tried to train them on general data sets. There was a lot of hype around that but not so much results.

Also they are not perfect, so they should be used with a fallback to a human support agent.
The thermodynamics of this are a disaster, which will drive their cost of capture higher than this range. Capturing CO2 from coal fired power plants costs about $100/tonne and is easier due to substantially higher concentration than doing so from air. Their pilot plant requires significant electrical and heat input which they get from burning natural gas -and then capturing that flue gas. I think this is a PR exercise for the primary investors.
Use iconv.
If only IE can render a web page, that's not a problem only because IE got old, it was always a problem with bad work on that page, and people were rightly complaining back when it happened.

It's crazy that we can't run old software on vastly more powerful hardware. Imagine if we suddenly couldn't read old books.
Because of the WWDC events in which they touted their web-based API at the time as being all one needed to compete with Apple's own native apps. That turned out to be completely untrue and they backtracked.

Back when Costco accepted Discover and allowed cash-over on purchases, when I took cash over, I would be asked by the receipt-checker, "did you get your $30?". On two separate occasions, I had in fact forgotten. One of those, I was given the missing cash immediately without question. The other time, the manager was skeptical but agreed to close and count the drawer, and I received the $30 immediately after that process.
> I'm not sure why you're invested in pretending this is super hard, or that it isn't extremely easy to do correctly if it is a company priority to do so.

The enormous amounts of money and time that companies spend on this problem, and still not get it right, disproves your assertion of simplicity.
I’m ethnic East Asian so there’s this funny thing where I can look older or younger depending on how I do my hair and other things.

Yes I have noticed it in a disturbing number of cases. The easiest way to slide past in tech interviews is to look young and answer “stupid.”

But even more than that, there’s this uncanny valley where you’re not young enough to be young, but not old enough that people realize you have had seen things go well, and seen things go sideways. It’s uncanny because I find that I have to fight to be recognized or respected in ways that people of European descent (who’ve made it over the hump) don’t have to.

All-in-all, there’s a weird denial of age-related things going on in tech.
On a related topic, apparently the lyrics for "We didn't start the fire" and "It's the end of the world as we know it" by R.E.M work quite well when played together, despite being thematically contradictory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEYc8ar2Bpw
I've heard of this mathematician several times over the years, but have never seen the capabilities and point of view of his calculus-like system actually described. Does anyone know of a more detailed article or book that gives such a description?

The weakness of freedom of speech is it also allows freedom of lying. It's the cost of it. I think there could/should be an amendment to constitution that prevents government officials from consciously lying to people
The general question is how do you handle host failure in a container world without k8s

I am pretty sure "ageism" is just an inadvertent consequence of the wrong belief that years of experience must linearly translate to ability. Not because anyone dislikes older folk per se.

If someone has got 30 years of experience, employers/recruiters think it requires at least senior or manager position, while entry/mid level position appears "unsuitable".

They don't understand that after 3-5 years the diminishing returns flatten the output almost completely and the only thing that years of experience can tell is the arithmetic difference between current year and the year of graduation.

The matters are surely made worse by the current FAANG tendency to ignore whether the experience is relevant. If someone has never wrote a line of Java before, a junior position with quick promotion is the most fair and logical choice. But if their resume shows 7+ years of any coding experience at all it wouldn't even pop up in recruiter's search because of how they set up their filters for junior positions.
It would be possible to use SDL2 with rust for rendering too.
Magic Leap is a disgusting company. Rony is abusive and already has staff that sexually harasses people. This company needs to be shutdown and Rony needs to be put in IDF to lose some weight.
I'd start targeting the legacy industries (insurance, boating, auto). Plenty of large software development houses that would (off the record) hire older people who are more serious.
Objective C wasn't really a big thing before the iPhone. I know MacOS used it but its not like it had the rich open source community that Java had, and most iOS developers were learning it for the first time. I think this failure wasn't about programming languages; if the platform had succeeded then C# would have been just that much more popular.
Steve Jobs was very careful about the “Osborne effect”. Even if they had plans for an App SDK as part of the future iPhone roadmap, he would have never divulged it, to prevent customers from deffering purchases
What do you mean by off the record?
> Rice is also full of dust and small particles which are surely not good for your electronics.

More than pockets, dust/grease on your hands, whatever's in your hair while you call, etc? The phone is surrounded by so much dirt, I'm not sure rice would make a difference.
LOL; I used split in the temp directory to create files of a single byte each and ran md5sum on them.

That's quite a bit more straightforward :)
A non-member can also shop at Costco if they have a Costco gift card. You have to get a member to buy the card for you, or in the case of a reloadable card to reload it, but using it does not require membership.
I think that a lot of engineers consider the opportunity to work on new technology and code to be part of their compensation. In that case, in order to attract them a company would either need to allow them to do that or increase other forms of compensation. However, it doesn't seem like many companies are willing to do that.
Shouldn't they be busy building a product that people want instead?
Great, then you don't get an official time. For noncheaters they can request a pacer as well.
The best developer I’ve ever met had a music degree. Performance clarinet, at that.
Race officials scan for hidden motors at all the major races now so it's impossible for high profile pro riders to get away with that any more.
A password isn't a good analogy for a DNA, imo. DNA only identifies you-- it doesn't unlock additional information about what you've done in the past like a password might. So a closer analogy would be a username.

Then given my username was found somewhere, with that public knowledge of us being one character off, publishing your username would identify me as that user. And I'm not sure that would be wrong.

It's also illustrative that a username is "public" information you might share with someone while a password is private. And I think that's why I'm of the opinion that DNA isn't private information.

> 1) "What I can tell you is..."

"What I can tell you is that I did not cut" but I did step off the track, and that might be against the rules, so I can't say I didn't cheat - seems like a phrasing you could stumble into if you're trying to avoid saying something that isn't true.

> It's a non-denial denial. He doesn't actually say he didn't cut.

He does five sentences later: "I have never cut the distance".

> Resorting to a formality by eschewing the contraction (thoguth ese above for next) / it goes back to formal language: "I have."

If I'm being accused of something, I'm going to stress the "not", and say it more forcefully which could involve dropping the contradiction. I've noticed myself doing this for things that don't matter in the slightest.

> Getting defensive, trying to portray himself as a victim being persecuted unjustly

I didn't read it like that at all. It reads more like an explanation/justification for his behaviour, and a _bad_ one at that (it's on you to know the rules).

> Notice the overall wordiness of the thing and the volunteering of superfluous information.

Presumably it's a rehearsed statement (at least conceptually if not in the exact words), and he's trying to provide an explanation for his actions. It doesn't really seem superfluous.

> WTF does that mean, you tryin to say you drank too much water dawg?

Yes. Marathon runners can drink too much, putting them at risk of hyponatremia.

Extrapolation guilt/suspicion from that seems dicey. None of it seems like something you couldn't say if you were being entirely truthful.
The whole idea of Generative Adversarial Networks is that you're simultaneously training a network that can generate fake things, and another network that can distinguish fake from real. The two networks are each other's adversary, the generator trying to fool the discriminator, and the discriminator trying to catch the generator.

The article explains this very accessibly.
Most serious amateur athletes now use GPS trackers but many elite pro marathoners still compete with nothing or just a simple digital wristwatch.
I like how the balena team executed with a name change and an open source release.[0] They went over the reason of the name change (evolution of scope) and clearly stated they wanted to introduce the new name with a splash:

Experience in what? Programming ability? Then yes.

I don’t think you really start becoming an engineer until you’ve already got coding down, and then you start having to go onto other things...
You can use the exact same argument to argue that the speed limit will decrease forever.

I feel like you are mixing up threads and cores.

In win95 there is preemption. The kernel can swap out threads on a timer interrupt to create the illusion despite no actual multiprocessing. You don't need real multicore to have that. But the programming model is the same as if you had it.

Elsewhere on this thread (uhh the other kind) it sounds like the threads here are not preemptible. So cooperative multitasking.
Nreal optical hardware is closer to ODGs and very different to Magic Leap. Magic Leap acquired ODG patent portfolio recently (after effectively killing them via some backstabby acquisition shenanigans) and is now opportunistically patent trolling Nreal and the increasing amount of Chinese competition (Nreal has much better visual quality at a much lower price) using post rationalized accusations given current US-China climate. And on queue, Bloomberg Tech does a Bloomberg Tech on the story.
Well I spent an hour trying out as many commands as possible before giving up. Then came across this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20252612 and went through his Twitch recordings to see if he could get past this stage. That is how I learnt about iconv. :)
For what it's worth, my little knowledge of London based tech scene is that it's extremely child friendly. Many companies I've seen have no-questions-asked-work-from-home policies, which in the places I've actually worked at were extensively used for child care and ballet recitals.

But I definitely don't speak for "the london tech scene", just for my limited perspective on it. (And I'm not a parent so maybe that's not even what a child friendly workplace makes! :) ).
I downloaded some thing that purports to be the "Nintendo 64 SDK" and it says that its implementation of malloc cannot be accessed safely by multiple threads (there's an alternative function that does guarantee this). I think this might be it? (FYI: the free function does check for NULL.)
Do you enjoy C over other options?
I made a n64 Rust env that's open source that's albeit a bit raw but was enough to be able to build ROMs of PowerPoint-esque slides of talk of a post mortem getting to that point.

Imagine if they had announced apps were coming for the iPhone, and potential customers waited for apps to come out and app developers waited for people to buy the phone.

Apple basically needed a take it or leave it strategy for the first release.
My take on the parent comment is that it has some adversity and feeling of superiority to it. And I don't like that. I agree that in the end it is not a competition, I didn't think that I would have to point it out.

In fact I am in the middle of fixing up code that I wrote as novel research because the powers that be want it in a production system. The code review I got was detailed and - frankly - embarassing at times because all the uncertainties and meanderings of research had me change pieces of code over and over and over again to a point where remnants of old approaches didn't stand out to me anymore and where I had at times built on top of bad decisions because they were meant as a temporary hack and experiment, but worked well enough and stayed in. And by the time I submitted the code for review I had become blind to these mistakes. I know how to write good and clean code and I get through code reviews easily when I know what I am doing. Not this time, though.
Nope. Happy to stand by the original claim that the specific data point quoted was meaningless and everything that flows from that about the quality of judgment for those believing it was, in contrast, definitive of guilt.

“Nothing more” refers to consideration of any other evidence.

As for “retreating into objectivity” I’d say I was far from it when subsequently upping the emotional ante with the descriptor of a “braying lynch mob”, which is how I really feel about the peanut gallery.

Luke 6:37 applies recursively to all of us.
Mr. Xu’s misuse and exploitation of Magic Leap’s image and goodwill is further manifested in Nreal’s shameless use of whales in its demo experiences

Are we patenting Whales in demos now? This is exactly the kind of myopia ML continues to have - thinking they were the first ones to use a whales in a VR/AR demo. I guess Intel was ripping off ML with Leviathan demo in 2014 [1] and theBlu was ripping off ML with their Vive demo in 2015 [2].

I found myself applying for jobs recently.

One of the startups that contacted me was founded by three 2015 graduates.

I am 41. I cancelled the interview. There was no way in my mind that I could work with these three folks. It was as good as being from different planets.

What I am trying to say is that maybe ageism is a two way street, and maybe it’s just normal. Generation gap and all.

Google didn't invent Android, they bought it. Maybe Microsoft's big mistake was to let that happen.
Is there a video recording of your talk available online?
Nah, I don't think there was. Sorry.

Edit: the general thesis was that while we as embedded fairly treat new languages in the embedded space with skepticism, Rust is a legitimate entry. It's not GCed (in the traditional sense) has similar perf and (more importantly) determinism. And by the very nature that the slides are on an N64, it's remarkably possible to support off the beaten path boards.
There was a it significant first moved advantage for iPhone. For a couple of years, it was effectively the only game in town. That probably got people over a lot of friction

It also took MS forever to have an ARM version of Windows...
There are a few topics on HN that always perform well (loneliness, Google's fuckups, etc). I guess ageism is one of them now
It's just incredible that MS has never understood how toxic the Windows brand is -- or, if not 'toxic', at least worthless. The only time the term Windows ever enters an ordinary user's vocabulary is when they call tech support to complain about something going wrong with their computer. (Or when a scammer calls them.)

It would be one thing if it were a branding mistake made by one CEO or one management team at one isolated point in time. But they have tried to turn Windows into a viable, positive consumer brand for longer than many of their customers have been alive. Time to run up the white flag on this one, guys. It's not going to happen.
No mention of range, seems pretty easy for drones just to use altitude. The drones could come in at 10,000 feet and drop whatever they came to deliver.
Your mistake was that it detects rotational force, not your grip.

Rotating the wheel just a nudge with one finger is enough to let it know you’re there. You can also rotate the volume or cruise speed adjutant wheels —- sometimes I will tweak it up and down a click (meaning you end up with no change in setting) instead of rotating the wheel.

The cars are profitable and have a healthy margin, it's just that Tesla is investing the profit into growth. Said growth has been pretty impressive. They've gone from 0 to 1000 cars per day or so, and given their average selling price that puts them ahead of quite a few others, at least in the US market.

Is amazon not successful because for most of their existence they have invested in growth over taking profits?

> So, you know, the greatest mistake ever is the whatever mismanagement I engaged in that caused Microsoft not to be what Android is, [meaning] Android is the standard non-Apple phone form platform. That was a natural thing for Microsoft to win.

It's not quite a sense of entitlement, but Gates definitely thinks Microsoft could have won mobile if Microsoft made better decisions. He doesn't seem to be leaving much room for the idea that Google would have won even if Microsoft had done its best.
Somehow nobody really seems to acknowledge the real reason Android won to my mind: that it was open source. Not for end users, but for OEMs. The whole reason they were willing to unify on Android as a platform was that it allowed hardware differentiation and innovation in a way that Windows Phone didn't, because they could actually create their own features and add them to the OS. So of course the best hardware and the most unique features and the biggest marketing budget and most aggressive carrier deals were always going to come on Android first. Because Windows Phone nullified part of the reason for OEMs to exist in the first place. Microsoft tried to control too much of the market, I assume out of Apple-envy - something they didn't even do with windows. I don't know why they expected it to work.
