Not just bigger. Bigger can be fixed with more cpu time. It is a fundimentally different problem. Nobody has a good theoretical answer even with infinite cpu time.

I say this while on a car ferry. Getting on this boat required me to navigate several strange road markings and obey a half-dozen hand gestures from staff, including several that were contrary to the painted lines. No AI is even contemplating car ferries.
Right. AFAIK, China is unlike Japan, UK, or USA. To operate with similar economic structure and policies will be suicide to a country as big as China where millions of people are still farmers and villagers and way under poverty level. We have to look at competition too. It seems China wants to develop a mature marketplace, so native companies have room to compete with the outside world. Else, there wouldn't be a Baidu, Youku, or JD.

A byte for your use is not the same as a byte for someone else's use. Setting up a hot spot for other people could be viewed as reselling the service (even if you don't charge for it).
Incorrect. I have every single touch gesture that I could possibly want on my Linux laptop (a lowly Acer E5 with Manjaro/Arch Linux and XFCE) and they work better and faster and with less annoyance than any Macbook I've ever used.

Furthermore at my desk I use a vertical mouse with 5 buttons which is far, far better than any touchpad.

I'm so glad to never have to use an Apple UI or rent one of their devices ever again! It's such a user-hostile ecosystem, but I don't really blame their users for having such a bad case of Stockholm syndrome.
Tesla Roadsters have been on the road for over a decade. I have a 2012 Model S and a 2018 Model 3. Best cars I've ever owned, and my almost seven year old S keeps getting better with software updates. I totally get people hating on Elon, but it must largely be jealousy of what he has accomplished.

That sounds like a great way of building an underperforming team of people that previously no other company wanted to hire lol.
If the list is a source for recruiting, I don't see it as being all that different from recruiting from a predominantly female college. No one says that's a bad thing.

Here's a real-world situation from a previous job of mine: We hired heavily from a local college. Hiring there became a habit as the candidates we got were qualified and well suited for the jobs available. As it turns out, that school is VERY white. We were always hiring "the best candidate", we just weren't hiring from a big enough pool for that to be sufficient to create diversity.

A lack of diversity is a business problem with negative business impact. I'm not going to defend that; that there a people who can't imagine why diversity is a business advantage boggles my mind.

It's a hard problem to solve. Please keep working at it.

Pinker offered the opinion to Dershowitz and was not aware who was the subject in the case.
Totally agree. It's a market failure that a company that makes a device that you buy is more interested in pleasing another company (the telcom) than you (the customer).

In a market with competition device manufacturers would be fighting over adding features like anonymous teathering for their customers, and phone companies would be charging for data use, and with enough competition that use-per-byte would become dirt cheap quickly.
But in that case we already have all that with Electron. Unless you want to program in C/C++ or Rust, compiling your language to JS would probably result in an image that's both smaller (because you won't need to bring your own GC) and faster (because you'll be enjoying JS's JIT) than WASM.

JS is a better compilation target (you don't have to use JS directly) than WASM for the vast majority of languages. WASM is great for when you have a bit of code you'd like to write in C and use as a library from JS (or a language compiled to JS).
To compare Elizabeth Holmes with Elon Musk is just absolutely bizarre on your part. She truly was a snake-oil salesperson.

I find the claim that individuals who lie like this are "holding back progress" to be totally subjective. What does that even mean?
What wage gap?
I've always thought that the the difference may actually be the reverse, in the fact that reading provides less information (and requires less input processing). The reader has to fill in all the gaps using their imagination, which seems like a more active mental process then the more "automatic" input processing even if such input processing may be more mentally complex. Arguably, you're actively processing much more information watching TV. Your brain is interpreting both sounds (usually a complex mix of language, music, and other natural and natural sounds), as well as as stream of rapidly changing and complex visual information. In both cases the viewer/reader still has to interpret and process the more abstract "story" elements, but in the case of the reader they are also constructing mental images/sounds/scenes as part of that process, as opposed to just consuming them. So while the TV viewer may be processing more information, they are doing so passively and their brain is mainly focusing on that passive automatic process. The reader is "exercising" their mental capabilities more as they have to fill in more gaps using their imaginations.
Local resident: the library, the MacDonalds with the fastest drive through, the nice park with the ducks, except the sidewalk by the trees is always slimy with duck poop.

Of course in suburban areas that's about it 99% of the time.
Gluing them is only 1 step.

You still need to write the logic that each layer needs to be useful.
Good.

Some argue this is just Google following local laws. I say that being legal != being moral and helping the government of China censor and track citizens is not a moral position, law be damned. The amount of internal resistance this got is good evidence of this project not being consistent with the values of most of the people who work there.

The fact that leadership tried to hide this project, keep it secret and deny its existence is... disappointing.

Then again, I already had the opinion that Sundar is the most overpaid CEO in the world.
>Someone should redo the old "Spam Solutions" form except for self-driving cars.

Automating being dismissive of discussion does sound like a great idea...

> Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once

It requires setting stricter traffic rules and having them be followed. Something that's done everywhere in the world every year. It can be done as gradually and as locally-specific as needed.

> Asshats

We already have those on the road causing accidents. Traffic rules are there to punish this exact behavior. The fact that we don't enforce a few of them makes self-driving harder. I'm not "failing to account for asshats", I'm specifically targeting them.

> Jurisdictional problems

We already have different jurisdictions where different driving requirements exist. Having self-driving cars that are only allowed to drive in country X would be nothing new.

> Technically illiterate politicians

My suggestions was specifically to make the road rules stricter and enforced. This is not a technical issue, it's the boring old issue of what the road rules should be and who should follow them.

> Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually

Enforcing road rules works fine even if done gradually. It also makes self-driving gradually simpler.
Forgoing 18% of a market in order to uphold bedrock principles seems like a worthy trade.
The problem is that with current technology (as I understand it), it doesn't just make a self-driving car worse in the rain or snow, it makes it so it can't drive at all.
Fascinating. A microSD card is 0.5 grams. I could tape one of these to a postcard, overnight for $25 using USPS and probably achieve a faster data rate than I could if I just send it over the air.
I've been wanting a shop like that in Paris for years.

If you want to try and buy a Steelcase here you have to make an appointment with a sales rep outside the city. I get that basically they don't want to deal with general population but it's kind of infuriating.
It works surprisingly well. But only if you're actually bored.

If you'd rather be doing something, then you'll keep thinking about that until you stands up again.

It only happens to me if I'm in a depressed phase or sleep deprived without really noticing it.

Not really enviable though, tbh. It does not feel good (at least for me)
Very interesting! I'm on a budget mobile service provider (Cricket), and only recently discovered that they disable using my phone as a hotspot on my plan.

I called them up, because I wouldn't mind paying a small amount extra every month to have that ability. However, they told me that they actually couldn't provide it with my phone even if I paid, because they didn't support my phone (Pixel). Then they tried to upsell me on "compatible phones"...

I used this phone as a hotspot with my previous provider, so I know it can be a hotspot. But I don't know much about the technical side of this. Does anyone know if what they're saying is plausible? (Ie, they can't offer it for my specific phone)

I briefly tried a few apps for this purpose, but none of them worked.
It's my understanding that Nazi stuff is prohibited in various ways in Germany and France.

I watched a movie recently (though not a recent movie) that had a scene with some Nazi stuff in the background of one scene. The IMDB trivia notes for the film stated that the scene was removed when it was released in Germany.

(If I can remember the film, I'll edit this comment.)

Stop acting like the only possible way that this technology can affect human life for worse is if it causes us cancer. Do your research about the bees and return here to tell me how humanity can possibly survive for the next 100 years if we cannot even solve problems of much lower complexity. I’m sad to see clever individuals cherry picking one case in the problem set and treating what is happening like a joke. If you can’t see the bigger picture don’t even try to assume what you can’t possibly know. Our ridiculous self protection argument is frequently this one:it doesn’t affect us directly, then everything is fine. This is why our civilization is destined do collapse. See that I’m talking about us. The earth goes on.
I have a Herman Miller Mirra 2 at home and don't regret the price I paid to get it. I bought it new so I could customize the colors to match my home office. It's a bit cheaper than an Aeron and actually better in my opinion.
I've been using the same Aeron chair for 17 years. It is robust, comfortable, and fine for long sessions in front of the computer. The value proposition remains quite positive.
You're getting a lot of flack for this comment, but I think it's a reasonable way of looking at the problem. In the United States, we have strong cultural conceptions about what are acceptable reasons for the government and companies to forcably suppress information (copyright violations, "terrorist" content, white supremacy, child pornography) and what aren't (political dissidence, social stability, insults, most other porn). Culturally, the Chinese have about the same attitude towards political dissidence that we have towards terrorist recruiting content, and for many of the same reasons. Historically, they have seen how political turmoil, if allowed to recruit, can hurt and kill people just how we have seen that terrorism can do the same.

Similarly, the American attitude towards copyright, trademark, and patent laws probably seems ridiculous and borderline unethical to Chinese companies looking to do business here. They seem (from the outside) to have no problem with a phone manufacturer calling itself "Applle" to piggyback on Apple's brand, but that is very illegal under American laws. Similarly, the amount of automatic filtering YouTube and other video hosts have to do under DMCA might block as much content as Chinese political auto-filtering does, although I would love to see more analysis of that.

Being from an American cultural background myself, I have an obvious set of intuitions about which of these are reasonable and which are ridiculous, but I find it hard to make a clear argument about why.
There's the same limit on possible data usage as there as on possible food haulage: throughput.
> This is a really optimistic look on the system. Yes, teachers do get long breaks, but they often have to plan, grade, etc during those breaks.

Yeah, I noted that. Even with the sometimes-long hours during the school year and their not actually having the whole Summer off, it's still better than the US norm of "after you've been here 6 months you can start accruing 10 paid vacation days per year—and once you've been here 5 years (LOL) you'll go up to 15! And no, you can't bank them."

> Despite how neutered unions are in some states,

Yeah, when I read about "out of control teachers' unions!" it always reinforces just how widely this varies. It be awesome if the ones around here would get a little more "out of control". Maybe all the pay freezes and abuses (of exactly the general sort you note) would stop. I'm pretty sure the folks here have totally forgotten that they even could strike.
Most Steelcase chairs are over $1,000 but Wallmart has the V2 for $400.

I wonder if this model is as good as the others, or if it isn't really the same thing.
> Running out of "stuff" to do.

This happens to me after about 2-3 weeks of crunch time; I’ll have replaced my normal habits with working, and there’s a confusion when there’s suddenly no more work to do.
Lack of try and go's error handling is part of my attraction to go. Explicit handling of error is much better than implicit and having to guess how things might get handled.
It is even worse because there are multiple victims - You lose your place in search, people searching get bad results, and people trying to run a forum or any site where there is user content get crushed with SEO spam.
How does Owl handle representing arrays of Float64s (for example) in BLAS-compatible format? That is, as contiguous memory blocks, instead of having each float value individually heap allocated and boxed with the array being an array of pointers to these values. That ability seems like the most basic requirement for a language in which scientific computing is done—if for no other reason than to call BLAS and LAPACK and other Fortran/C/C++ libraries. Vanilla OCaml doesn't support this (as far as I'm aware), so you'd need something like NumPy which grafts typed arrays onto Python, but for OCaml. Of course, OCaml already has typed arrays, unlike Python, there's just a legacy insistence that all collections work with pointers to values, since other wise you might need to compile generic code more than once (god forbid). Is such an "efficient array library" part of Owl? Any tidbits on how it works?
> You get paid to push products at people and call it a career.

While there are definitely a lot of channels whose main purpose is to push products, there are tons of YouTubers that only do so to earn money and the value of the videos is elsewhere.

Numberphile does have product placement but calling them a drug dealer would be quite misguided.
Those Seattle pig and San Francisco heart fiberglass art installations really messed things up touristicly. After that every city has to have some kind of pop symbol tourists could ID as of that city do they could take selfies with it.

That said, implicit in some of the commentary is that tourists miss the local aspect of s city they visit by remaining in tourist areas. My take is that is the whole point of most tourism. They don’t want to see the same humdrum stuff they have in their home cities, they don’t need to know about boring shitty areas or family residential areas. No, they want some foreign entertainment and feel. They want some levity and some pop on their holidays.
I love my Steelcase Leap! The cushion is very comfortable and is holding up well after a few years. I sit criss-cross and am able to easily do this with the Leap. The Aeron prevents this because of the hard plastic around the seat dug into my legs. I also got mine with the adjustable headrest, which is very nice for reclining.

I basically live in my chair, so it was a solid investment.
They do and they do. Hence the caveat in my post.
> That is not true in theory or in practice except for a very, very small number of people. Maybe if you use the "Linux on Chromebook", but then it's more than a "Chromebook" is typically understood to be...

What do you mean? Your strawman user just needs email, a webbrowser, etc. That's all perfectly well served by a Chromebook.

> I think 99.999% of people that use computers are more than happy with the fact they no longer boot into BASIC, and would dislike them doing so again, and this includes 99.9% of programmers, I'd say.

Yeah, see, this is not-getting-it. It isn't about booting in to BASIC, it's about recognizing that the Computer is a tool to make the user's life better, and part of that role is making sense and guiding the user towards leveraging it better.

> There isn't a "wall".
There is an abrupt incongruity in the metaphor for how applications work. They appear to be files in some location (/system/Applications?) but are actually not. The user sees that /system/Applications/MyHaikuApp is a file and thinks "oh, I can just treat that as a file", but then discovers it isn't true. They were lied to. It's an illusion.

> But way out in the long tail? Yeah, you are going to need the compiler.

No disagreement here, but consider your solution to me wanting to use hpkgs from a different partition.
If only Google had a technology that would preload the top results (maybe coming from a Google CDN) and show them right on the search results page. I’d be AMP’ed for that.
I would not disagree :) and i think they came up with unlimited data plans just to label bytes in the future. And they are already doing that. You can already buy a plan with 10gb Facebook + 10gb whatever you want. Makes me sad.
5G will give vehicle position better than GPS, will they use this instead of sensors for Lane detection?
> gave you a sprite zero hit test so you could get the timing correct

This was a workaround to avoid Atari patents. On the 2600 you could write to a register to halt the CPU until horizontal blanking (commonly written as sta WSYNC), to get perfectly synchronized to the next scanline. Sprite zero is more flexible, but the timing isn't as precise.

Just the other day someone posted something here about defunctionalizing continuations. That's the way to go: whatever amount of state the server has to hold, you have to hold anyway, and clever defunctionalization will let you just hold that amount even with a continuation-based approach.

I would _not_ recommend using DLQs in ActiveMQ as a delivery delay mechanism. DLQs are meant to hold bad messages that can't be processed by your consumers. Conflating those with good messages most certainly sounds like a debugging nightmare. Imagine your database going down and thousands of messages heading to your DLQ... you'd want to replay those so you don't lose valuable data. Mixing that with stuff that needed to run into the future sounds like a true headache.

ActiveMQ is an amazing toolbox however. In fact, it contains the exact feature they want (and surprised they did not mention). Internally it is driven by a robust Quartz scheduler. You simple enable scheduling on your broker config (schedulerSupport="true") then all you would need to do is put a header on your messages AMQ_SCHEDULED_DELAY with the number of ms to delay.

'And talk about simpleton narratives, only a simpleton would swallow whole the idea that trump was just making a sincere plea for gathering and sharing expertise.

No politician is sincere and I'm not the one spreading simpleton narratives, like the left-leaning media, which seems to be the case most of the time.

"So he can combine a racist trope with a schoolyard taunt and that's plenty to disguise it for you. Sad."

So would you consider calling for the destruction of an entire country mostly made up of one religion/ethnicity racist/bigoted?

"Your interpretation of the 4 as "hating the US" stands in direct contradiction to their unwavering statement of love of country with a commitment to improve the US"

So let me get this straight:

If I:

1) say I love the country

and

2) am liberal

It means I love the country? Now who's fooled?

"They hate the US" is another trope to "other" those who disagree with you. Would you like me to rattle off a list of a dozen ways in which Trump clearly hates our country? It's easy."

TDS is strong with you. You seem to inject race and racism into everything..which isn't healthy.

Protecting US citizens and creating a growing economy with one of the lowest unemployment rates in decades doesn't look like 'hate' to me.

"They're as popular as ever - with those that elected them, and will likely do so again, so go back to hopelessness."

...with morons. They are all fucking idiots. You really need to admit this or we can't really have a conversation. I'm also not hopeless. I'm living a great life. If a crazy gets elected here, I will just get citizenship elsewhere.

I actually am not a big Trump supporter, but because of people like you and the constant hatred and censorship from the Left, I will never vote for a Democrat again.

Many people are now waking up to these gestapo tactics
