So, where's your solution? If it's so simple, where is your contribution?

The fact is, he did it. You haven't. I can't even begin to imagine how much crap Lennart gets everyday by people who think they know everything and yet never actually seem to write any code.

Have some respect for the guy even if you disagree with the way he works, because you know.. his code is being used.

> But instead of stepping up to the plate and igniting a Red Queen's Race that would have benefited everyone, INTC first tried to discredit the technology repeatedly, then they built an absolutely dreadful series of decelerators that demonstrated how badly they didn't understand manycore. Eventually, they gave up, and now they're playing catch-up by buying companies that get within striking distance of NVDA rather than building really cool technology from within.

Reminds me of "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win".

So many companies have this reaction (e.g. RIM with BlackBerry). Wondering if this is some kind of "corporate instinct".

You aren't building your own silicon (Google is), so you haven't exactly solved that problem. You're trusting that Google is doing what you want.

Is it not a problem that someone with one of the best jobs in the world can't afford a decent house near work? It might be related to why the contingent workers have 2.5 hour commutes.

Cooperative strategies open up a lot of new attack vectors. I don't trust those companies to design systems robust enough, especially if they'd have to build a standard together with competitors.

And in the end, your car has to be able to come to a safe stop and avoid dangers no matter the situation. Even with no other cars around or communication interrupted. To reliably achieve this will probably get you most of the way to "real" self driving, with humans/remote operators manually taking care of the few remaining cases.
Nvidia's coup was in getting people to switch to a different programming model and rewrite their code to achieve the necessary performance. Intel, especially in upper management, is stuffed with people who assumed that was impossible. And faced with new competition from GPUs, the only acceptable response to management was the many-x86, "you don't have to rewrite your code to get performance" approach which didn't actually work out.

It's not that Intel doesn't have people that recognize the issues, but rather the people who do have that foresight are drowned out by people who don't realize the game has changed. Intel, to be fair, does have the best autovectorizer--but designing vector code from scratch in a purpose-built vector language is still going to produce better results, as shown when ispc beat the vectorizer.

But Nvidia can also get drunk on its kool-aid, just as Intel has been. Nvidia's marketing would have you believe that switching to GPUs magically makes you gain performance, but if your code isn't really amenable to a vector programming style, then GPUs aren't going to speed your code up, and the shift from CPU-based supercomputers to GPU-based supercomputers are going to leave you happy. There's still room for third-way architectures that is anyone's game.
Shoot I think you may be correct. I hadnt thought of that aspect. Maybe it would require the central shaft to rotate a single gear in the forward direction which was attached to via smaller chain that rotates the axle between the two wheels...?

Agreed, rolling resistance at 30mph (about the fastest you'll ever ride a bike, even down a steep hill) is about 50w of energy, whereas wind resistance at that speed is close to 1000w of energy.

Compare to 10mph (average speed for most casuals) where your total wind + drivetrain is about 50w of energy. Wind resistance goes up by the cube, drivetrain is mostly linear.

Yes. That's how protests work. You're trying piss people off enough to notice and take action. It doesn't matter what they're mad at so long as they're mad enough to take action. I don't care if they're pissed off that I'm wearing dark pants that they make the social change I'm after, so long as it gets made.
I'm not equating killing yourself with not having children. Of course they are not the same. I'm simply reflecting irq11's logic back at him: if the only measure by which you judge a solution is how much CO2 emissions are reduced then killing yourself is the best solution.

irq11 does not consider the costs of implementing a world-wide child reduction policy. A combination of solutions including education, birth control, electric cars, reducing flying, solar energy etc. is FAR more realistic than the "no kids, no cars" approach. He complains about harsh reactions but he is the one who started this off from a very antagonistic perspective that everybody is just a mindless consumer while he is the arbiter of harsh truths that people are too weak-minded to admit to.

> [...] aren't UNIX applications

What kind of argument is that - so what?

All major Linux distributions are doing very well with systemd and it makes sense to have some kind of supervizor service (or collection of tools) on top of `init`. You can still tie together your applications with shell scripts and not run systemd. Since systemd it is simpler to admin different linux boxes - at least that is my personal experience - before that every distribution shipped their own shell scripts.

Systemd is fine and if it is so inferior to simple POSIX applications glued together, people should provide a better alternative. The grieve that people have against Lennart is overblown - we should thank him for his contributions.

Would be great if you could summarize your assumptions and conclusions here.

1. A 2017 survey of 1000 internet users over 18 reported that 19% are using online dating. Even that number seems to be high imo and might include those who are not using online dating at the moment [1]. I'm not sure how would this change your stated 50% of those who use online dating (after additional filters you have there).

2. There are fewer women than men on dating sites (e.g. 38/62 according to [2]). The total matches number for men will be smaller.

3. There are 8000 dating apps currently, and 1000 new ones are launched every year (!). Not saying you should be scared of that, but here marketing is a much bigger challenge than everything else. Are you a good marketer?

4. It's not even clear to me what is "dating outside your city". Seems like a significant obstacle to dating.

From the OP:

> humans can build near perfect 3D representations of the world with 2D images stitched together with the parallax neural nets in our brain

This is a statement about cognition. And the response addresses this.

Your response:

> The person you're responding to is talking about depth from stereo, not cognition.

I think this is the disconnect. The person _is_ talking about cognition. OP makes a claim about how humans see, connected to how the human brain works. Response explains why camera-based image recognition right now is a lot worse than your eyes (a big piece of the answer is your brain).

> The cameras just have to replace eye well enough

So yes this is nice in theory. But I also get the sense most people don't realize just how large the chasm is today between cameras and human eyes. They don't "just provide line of sight depth." Dynamic range, field of view, reliability even under conditions like high heat -- there are many other dimensions where they just aren't analogous yet.

In addition to the obvious case of bribery, deliberately misleading the police with intent to falsely imprison someone has got to be some kind of crime far worse than bad faith - defamation at the very least.

Completely agree. I can't stand how many people have such a strong opinion on some open source software. I find it amazing that there's so many negative blogs about the guy but no one has actually written a good (their version of good, not mine) init system that distributions will use.
That's not quite true. What is true is that the only Fords people in North America were buying were pickups, SUVs, and crossovers, so Ford stopped bothering with cars in North America.

However, there's still people buying cars, but usually they're foreign makes. The American carmakers have spent decades trying to prove to people that they suck at making cars and only put their effort into trucks/SUVs, and American car buyers are finally getting the message.

But that's wrong, if the bill is totally withdrawn the protesters would gain time if something similar was ever re-introduced. Time they can use to organize protests to fight it again, if need be. It sounds like the current "suspended" bill is fairly far along in the legislative process, and could be passed quickly.

What's the difference between you owning a car and you having the right to use a communal car?

The core of the legal concept of property is the right to exclude others. This is an academic philosophical lens to view it through, but it's fundamental to understanding how the law treats these things. "Property" isn't a physical thing itself, it's your right to exclude others. (This, by the way, is also a useful lens through which to view Fourth Amendment jurisprudence).

The property you're "stealing" in a copyright infringement case isn't the bits themselves. The property is the right to exclude others from copying, publicly performing, etc. By doing so without a license, you're denying the software licensor the ability to exclude you.

From the original memo:

> Provide additional mental health support for Googlers of
color — especially following critical moments impacting their communities

> Throughout my time at Google, my mental health has been heavily influenced by what I read in the
news. And in America, that means frequently reading about innocent black men and women who’ve been killed by police officers. Whether the issue is police brutality, or mass shootings targeting the LGBTQ community, or racist comments from the President debasing immigrants, Google needs to provide mental health support equitably, which means making a more concerted effort to create opportunities for underrepresented groups to seek counseling and support.

With respect, I don't think this is an employer-based issue. Because this was caused by a non-work related source [the news], I think it should be the responsibility of the individual to seek therapy and other resources on their own time and on their own dime.

Now if the employee was experiencing mental health issues as a direct result of coworkers or the work environment, then yes, the company should provide support.

In fact, Google does provide free counseling for the staff who have to filter through illicit images on Google's search engine. Since those employees are regularly exposed to horrendous issues as part of their work, they get company-sponsored help with it.
Note that this team was not engineers, a lot of the drama you see from Google comes from their non-tech teams so blaming it all on ignorant techies doesn't hold.

But all of that is built on the false premise that this is solely and directly a individual level consumption-based problem (which the article ends with, and is wrong about). Most carbon problems are industrial or only indirectly affected by an individual's consumption patterns. In terms of individual consumption habits that make a noticeable difference on the scale of climate change:

- Energy saving appliances (LED lights) [Mostly a checkmark; done]

- Vegetarianism / local, sustainable, slow food [Growing trend]

- Electric vehicle [Current fight]

That's mostly it from an average individual's day to day carbon footprint. After that you might argue over things like flight patterns and cruise ship carbon, but those are less day-to-day and more infrequent and start to get into "nice to have" easily interchangeable work/vacation/models.

The article is correct that there are greater systemic issues to solve. Sure, it would be great to bring back more public transportation, (re-)build better more walkable cities, better deal with the environmental externalities of our many industries, etc. But we aren't going to push the scales on those without collective effort, real political policy decisions, and probably regulation and taxes. We aren't going to correct these things on "many people's urge to do something" at an individual level, and focusing on it heavily isn't what's exhausting or will exhaust individuals from bigger problems, focusing on it only being an individual effort crisis is distracting us from dealing with bigger problems.

This isn't a problem solvable from consumption alone and it is well past time we stopped pretending it is. It's a political problem we keep pretending the markets will solve because the markets own the politicians and that's what they want the politicians to tell the people.
