I've seen a mouse die in a "humane" trap after being carried a couple blocks – I always understood that was from a heart attack. It seems to happen with birds too – stress them out a bit, then dead.

So in what way are "only humans" prone? Are these not heart attacks?

I'm not sure that I wish CMAH gene back:

> Interestingly, the evolutionary loss of the CMAH gene appears to have produced other significant changes in human physiology, including reduced human fertility and enhanced ability to run long distances.

Reduced fertility doesn't seem for me important, we have a contraception for that. But enhanced ability to run long distances seems very convenient. I can ride a bicycle or walk for hours just for fun of physical exercise, and I'm not going to lose that.

Interesting that they’ve always tried to charge you for the upgrade - I’ve always gotten it for free without having to ask (though I use Avis almost entirely and can’t remember the last time I used Enterprise). They just tell me “Sorry we were out of this car, here’s an upgraded one”. Seems weird that they should charge you more for not having the car you booked. Granted, they never dump me into sports cars when it happens (it’s almost always the very next tier of car available).
The commas and dots are operators, not syntax.

Whereas

compiles down to:

if (one && two && three) { return three; }
else if (one && four) { return four; }

So yeah, it's not syntax.

Puppet's VP of Engineering on how companies are stuggling pre-DevOps
Absolutely, you're right. In fact, I first slightly modified the Prolog syntax by replacing the traditional variables that start with a capital letter with variables of the form:"?X". We can therefore differentiate between Tamgu variables and Prolog variables. In addition, Tamgu's basic objects, such as vectors, strings or numbers are automatically reinterpreted as vectors, strings or Prolog numbers.

We can therefore apply operations like: [?X|?Z].

Finally, Tamgu considers that the reception variables before the "=" sign define the execution context. Therefore, if we take the following program:

parent ("John", "Peter").

parent ("John", "Mary").

parent ("Peter", "Roland").

parent ("Roland", "Pierre").

bool b = parent("John",?X);

vector v = parent(?X,?Y);

The first case will return "true" if we find a matching occurrence. Here "b==true".

The second case will return all the possibilities that match:

[parent("John", "Peter"),parent("John", "Mary"),parent("Peter", "Roland"),parent("Roland", "Pierre")

Access to each parameter is possible:

v[0] = parent ("John", "Peter")

v[0][1] == "Peter"

v[0].name() == "parent"

I mean the attack as a whole. I think having a linear lookup alone wouldn't be as problematic if it didn't turn the creation of the dictionary itself quadratic. The attack wouldn't scale near as well if it ran in O(n).
Its not really that wise, its a large gamble.

tesla decided to not include lidar because they couldn't find a manufacturer that would make one cheap enough for them/fell out over terms. Its not a statement of vision. Its exactly the same decision that Apple dropped Flash support for the iPhone, The processor and ram were too limited to support it, adobe refused to make compromises, and it was too late to change before launch.

Firstly, Tesla is not focussing purely on passive vision, they are using radar as well. But because radar is nowhere near high resolution enough, they need vision to provide categorization.

Now Musk makes a lot of noise about avoiding lidar, thats mostly because he knows its a massive gamble. Yes, he bleats on about its power budget and cost, but using pure AI cost a whole more in RnD, plus a boat load of latency. Not to mention the massive power budget needed to run the custom silicon.

_eventually_ vision + radar will be more than enough to provide life critical level 5 autonomy. However Tesla barely provide more than level 2.

They have a number of problems to overcome, rain/bug occlusion of vision sensor, low light performance, sunrise/sunset, fog, reliable realtime depth estimation, etc.

I suspect that CCD based time of flight depth sensors will become cheaper, low power, and small (They are almost certainly going to end up in mobile phones soon) before pure vision realtime life critical depth estimation is a thing.

Just some context here:

* The raw data in nuscenes ( https://www.nuscenes.org/ ) is about 5x larger than this dataset from Lyft. 300GB train vs 60GB train.
Argoverse ( https://www.argoverse.org/ ) is is about 3.x larger at 200GB. The Waymo dataset will (allegedly) be an order of magnitude larger than nuscenes ( https://i2.wp.com/syncedreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/0... ). BDD100k ( https://bair.berkeley.edu/blog/2018/05/30/bdd/ ) is the "largest" public dataset to date, but lacks lidar, and labels are inconsistent; most of the 100,000 scenes only have one labeled frame.

* The Lyft sensor suite has bumper-mounted lidar, which is absent from other existing datasets. Point cloud data in these areas is critical for pedestrians, bikes, and various road hazards. So this dataset alone is useful for validating work trained through other means.

* The current Lyft Level 5 release has no explicit test / validation set, which is crucial for properly measuring performance of any experiment one might do with the data. In nuscenes and Argoverse, there's a small snippet dataset that helps you prepare your pipeline. Feels like Lyft might have rushed things a little here-- they could have posted a "teaser" and then the full train and test/validation set a couple weeks later.

Great to see more public data (especially from a more modern sensor suite), plus investment into a contest with prizes.

I think the 40 km/l is unrealistic -- that's 95 mpg. Your average car is apparently(?) under a quarter of that, 22 mpg [3]. Although I feel like this is probably a low-ball (possibly old) figure? My guess would've been like 30 mpg, but I don't know how much of the population has a new car.

The source I had was [1] which said a plane emits ~0.9 tons of CO2/person/round-trip, whereas the average car emits ~4.6 tons/year [2]. At 1.7 persons/car [3] that's 2.7 tons CO2/person/year. Now interestingly, I can't seem to see a source for the 0.9-ton figure; I do see some other sites [4] that claim a one-way flight of that distance emits 2.8 tons, which is a 6x difference... I'm not sure which one is accurate. But there's another site [5] quoting a similar figure to the 0.9 tons.

So funny enough I'm kinda back where I'm started... not sure what the right figure is to even 5x...

I just want to chime in here and point out that the exit clause in the contract required fraudulent usage. American was certainly getting royally screwed by the deal they made, and the pattern of Rothstein's reservations and cancellations was certainly not normal. But what took thousands of billable hours for lawyers to resolve seems to be specifically whether his behavior rose to the level of fraud.
On the contrary, In India, there's been a recent surge of mocking @ Non-Vegans (or) Should I say regular dieters?

This trend is not only on Rise but also gaining a cult-status that declaring "I'm a Vegan" seems to be a social status. I don't disagree the Veggies have got all sorts of Nutrients that Humans need but not sure it has to be a thingy of shame if someone eats Meat.

Probably time to agree on what "heart attack" means.

My Dad's heart stopped and he was kept alive by 45 minutes of CPR by burly firefighters - did he have a heart attack? Nope. His heart's pacemaker cells went on the fritz, but it wasn't a myocardial infarction.

A "heart attack" is a myocardial infarction, but many other bad things can happen to your heart.
Mock vegans? More often when I hang out in liberal/startup social groups vegans mock me, the non-vegan.
In my bubble (Belgium) I've not experienced this actually. But I'm not an 'advocate' for a vegan lifestyle though. I just eat vegan most days and vegetarian on the other days. I don't really care what other people do or eat, I'm not bothered by going to a restaurant with non-vegetarian/vegan friends. I'm fine if we bbq together and I get a meat replacement.

I get that people might be upset if someone tells their choice of eating meat makes them a horrible person. I mean, you can replace "eating meat" with anything and you'd offend someone by calling them horrible :P
> The employer-employee relationship is weird and toxic as hell.

Doesn't need to be in my experience, both the employee and employer can respect each other even when they don't get along well on personal level. However it is actually quite interesting that it is a relationship that can be weird and toxic, while still providing (economical) value for both parties.
The three major providers (Telekom, Vodafone, O2) now have real unlimited plans. It's around 80€, which is expensive, but not excessively so. We generally have far more expensive plans in Germany than anywhere else in Europe, which really sucks. The unlimited plans were first introduced at the end of last year if I recall correctly.

In e.g. Haskell, you often Dont explicitly write out types, letting the compiler infer them for you. This could essentially cascade all the way up.

Meanwhile, if you want to add logging in Haskell via a monad, you don't just need to change the type of each calling function to make it monadic, but you need to rewrite the function to make it monadic. That is harder work than changing some types. Moreover it is harder to automate by an IDE.
Cognitive dissonance plays a part yes, but media is also involved further stroking and nurturing these tensions.
Ehmm ... do you think all airplane programmers are CS graduates? They are not. At least not at SAAB. Actually, very few are CS. Most are mechanic, electric and fluid engineers.

But how? Also your comment could have been a bit more concise. This way it reads really tedious and kinda like you're making fun of it.

Or rather, the actually important part (how to do it) is concise to the point of not even being included!
I also use CLI like 95% of the time. Last one I can think of (above the ones you mention) is complex merge conflicts. The CLI makes it kind of hard to read and visualize what is going on. I’ve actually gotten so used to the Jetbrains GUI for resolving conflicts that even if the language isn’t supported in whatever I’m trying to resolve I’ll open it in a Jetbrains software to resolve it.
It could mean that the speed is uncapped to what the physical medium and the current network congestion allows.
I don't mean "everybody" but people are influenced by media and media is influenced by powerful commercial interests.

There are plenty of people that aren't, I'd say close to 50%, but there's huge swathes of the population that can be manipulated to pounce on things they don't understand.
Sounds like you have an introvert trait (in the Myers Briggs sense), which does not mean despising human interaction but that even though you enjoy it, it’s taxing at some level (but you get some benefit at another level). If this is the case, the rejection comes from energy being exhausted (no one enjoys being exhausted) and you have to recharge your social interactions batteries.

At some point you may have intuitively associated meeting with people with that exhaustion and balanced your NN towards “not meeting” by default, hence the doominess feeling.

Active, conscious steps I took to get me out of that:

1. Recognise that being social brings you something internal (mood improvements)

2. Recognise that being social costs you some energy (depletes a battery)

3. Stop self-bashing for “not being social” at times (battery needs topping up)

4. Create a positive feedback loop instead of a negative one, by having less long/intense social interactions but more frequent, so that the battery never truly runs out and has time to recharge quickly

This takes time as the NN has to be retrained to break the default fight or flight reaction of staying in the safe zone at home.

It’s a bit like enjoying running a marathon and have a happy and relaxed mind following that, but the body is exhausted and certainly doesn’t want to run again back to back as it needs time to recover.

The introvert trait will not go away but the battery can be trained and improved in capacity, and end up looking forward to meeting people as long as it’s properly managed.

These comments are not helpful. React is a UI library and this concept would be new in this world. Who cares if it's done by the Simpsons already? It's a nice trivia, but what should we do with this information?
Not a good article.

It slices across complex societal issues, like free speech and employment, hate, internet phenomena, social media amplifying, slaps some veganism elevator pitch on it and calls it a day. I don't think much of value can be extracted from it, since the length just doesn't do the complexity justice.

Also, this comment section is already mostly derailed and is degrading into anecdata and people discussing guessing what the article isn't about. Come on HN, you can do better!
I used to share a flat with a militant vegan - used to give us leaflets with part dismembered pigs at breakfast time. Not sure this achieved very much as none of the rest of us ate bacon/ham for breakfast.

I was quite impressed when he got a very painful dental condition and refused painkillers because they might have been tested on animals.
I have the feeling, people don't like others to have the moral higher ground.

I don't know if it's especially threatening when they think it's undeserved or if they just try to frame it as undeserved so they can keep to their morally suspicious ways.
Here (in Turkey), the distinction between being a vegan, vegeterian, having a gluten free diet or just trying to lose some weight is sometimes so blurry that even some restaurants sometimes make crucial mistakes in their menus or marketing campaigns. So when everyday Jane/Joe mocks a person with a special diet, she often thinks that person is trying to lose some weight without succeeding ever for years.
All toilets I met also have a front side of bowl too sloped/close to you know what. I have to constantly use one of my hands to prevent a collision, which can be pretty terrifying depending on where you are. This problem must be widespread, since I’m not really that guy.

These folks nailed it: https://toilet-guru.com/biblical_new.php
People feel as thought it’s a moral judgement when someone just exists and is a vegan. They feel as though they are being judged, a finger is pointed at them.

That is, of course, bonkers.
To save you 5mn of your life: the answer to the question is nowhere to be found in the article.
I, and the people around me, mock vegans because 50% of vegans I've encountered are hypocritical.

They don't eat meat or animal products, because of the "environment", but then eat fruit and vegetables that were imported from thousands of miles away by air. On a weekend, they drop pills, the trafficking and cultivation of which costs lives every single day. And never mind their flights halfway around the world for vacation twice a year, which do more to harm the environment than a year of not eating animal products.

Vegans make an earnest attempt who practice what they preach, across their entire lifestyle, have my utmost respect.
I'm tall, and I can literally make eye contact with the guy in the next stall if we both stand up. Not my idea of a good place for small talk, or even a head nod. I usually just bend my back. It's quite ridiculous. Then there are the gaps around the door, like why.
Hello,

I guess I should have been more explicit. I'm sorry for the confusion.

First, Tamgu is a language in which the recipient variable defines the context in which the instruction is evaluated.

If your recipient variable is an integer then everything on the right side of your assignment will be treated as an integer. If it is a string, well everything will be treated as a string.

We use this approach in many other instances:

int pos;

vector v;

string s="This is a testing case";

pos = "i" in s; //we are looking for "i" in the string

In this case, pos==2.

v = "i" in s; //we are looking for all positions of "i" in the string

v == [2,5,14]
