When it comes to Uber almost every municipality had already figured out a way to have taxis in their town.

It’s just that Uber’s tech scales to national and global scales relatively quickly making mass haggling necessary and since that’s pretty difficult you end up with the externalities being dumped on unsuspecting populaces since Uber’s not going to do that mass haggling.

Instead, Uber pushes the haggling initiative onto the towns and municipalities when it used to be the other way around.

Not sure about solutions or alternatives.
>But you simply can't definitively say something is damn near harmless relative to cigarettes when you don't actually know what harm it causes

I totally get where you're coming from and am sympathetic to this argument, but I don't agree with it. We have learned a great deal from decades of research in to the harms of cigarette smoking, and have drawn some uncontroversial conclusions about why smoking causes so many health problems. We also can be reasonably sure that vaporizing nicotine does not create those same harmful conditions. I'm not saying anyone knows the long term implications of vaping, but "no one knows what will happen" is not a strong argument to me. As it stands, I think we have every reason to believe that smoking cigarettes is drastically more harmful than vaping.
I have one tooth that has pain in it because one dentist convinced me to drill it even though it wasn't causing me issues. I still don't know what scientific evidence there is that doing fillings early is a justifiable procedure rather than just a revenue stream for the dentist. I would love to see good studies on this.
The $75 price point is okay.

Not sure what this is trying to be other than an eval board for 'also rans' in the FPGA and Cortex-M space. One of the reasons I like the Lattice FPGA boards like the Icebreaker[1] is that there is a complete open source tool chain for them. Seems like adding a processor to something like that might be an interesting place.

> Do there would be a flow of ad money back from the web to traditional advertising.

That's not an improvement, because manipulating matter involves using up more resources. For all their problems, on-line ads harm the climate less.

That said, I of course welcome anything that can roll back the current state of on-line advertising. Even dumb on-line ads would still be more profitable than physical ones, and since advertising is a zero sum game, I don't expect the publishers to really lose money on that.

All the hate mobs, the public lynching, they all seem to be originated from Twitter and then getting boosted by blogs and other media outlets.

Timothy Pearson from Raptor here. I'd like to first extend apologies from the apparently poor support experience from Raptor Computing Systems -- that being said, there are a few exceptional circumstances in play with this system:

1.) This particular case is one that Raptor needed to consult with IBM engineering to determine the correct course of action for. There is a very rare CPU failure mode (we have only seen it happen twice) that manifests with similar symptoms and a ZCAL failure. The root cause here is an apparently defective CPU that slipped past IBM final test, and work is underway to make sure that these marginal, but defective, CPUs are caught instead of being shipped out.

2.) There is definitely more than one person in support, however Raptor has been overloaded with both spam and off topic inquiries. Raptor has attempted to manage this load without much success, despite deploying new features such as the troubleshooting guide at https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Troubleshooting/Support_Reque... we continue to receive support requests that are missing vital information, and with descriptions that are so generic that the problems could range from "PC not plugged in" to "used non-ECC unbuffered RAM" to "tried to install Windows" (yes, all of those have happened, repeatedly).

3.) We are currently gearing up for a major push on owner-controlled computing. Higher level technical resources are assigned to those projects temporarily, which means unusual issues like the ZCAL problem are being resolved at a slower rate than normal.

I'd ask that the general community please bear with Raptor as we work through these problems. What we're doing is hard, it's not as simple as shipping a RISC-V SBC in a known configuration, we have the entire complexity of the traditional PC ecosystem in play. AMD's release of the uber-fast (but ultra-locked-down and owner-disrespecting) Rome CPUs has not helped the owner controlled computing world, and I am still of the opinion that POWER is a better long-term investment than RISC-V in the desktop and server space. FWIW I use a Blackbird desktop as my daily driver, and have not had any complaints with it (in fact it's given me less problems over time than my previous daily driver -- a corebooted ASUS KCMA-D8).

Raptor has a Wiki with a ton of information available at wiki.raptorcs.com and I am definitely open to further suggestions on how to make the nascent POWER desktop community a bit more self sufficient than it is now. Remember that x86 vendors don't need to offer significant post-sale support, partly because the Linux community has already filled that role, and as a result they can continue to offer low prices, strengthening the lock-in effect. If owner-controlled computing is to succeed in the marketplace, we need to figure out the best way to ensure that vendors aren't bearing the brunt of those costs and being forced pass them on in higher product pricing.

I believe support has reached out to you now that we understand the CPU will need to be replaced. Can you confirm this?

Thanks!

In fact, you can transpile Python to C with Cython. That typically gets one a speed boost, but only a bit. You still have most of the memory allocation/deallocation overhead of Python objects getting created and destroyed, and all the work needed to keep attributes tracked, so a straight C version with no focus towards optimization would likely outperform it greatly.

(A neat tool in one's toolbox, of course. But just transpiling to C does not get one as fast as C.)
I wish I could send a message to Ed, to encourage him. If the worst allegations his enemies can accuse him of are related to other people, that means his own life choices are blameless.

From Snowden's autobiography, Permanent Record, page 239:
"Enter Sarah Harrison, a journalist and an editor for WikiLeaks. The moment the news broke that an American had unmasked a global system of mass surveillance, she had immediately flown to Hong Kong. Through her experience with the website and particularly with the fate of Assange, she was poised to offer me the world's best asylum advice. It didn't hurt that she also had family connections with the legal community in Hong Kong. ... after a sharp disagreement just a month after our first, text-based conversation, I never communicated with [Assange] again... Though I never was, and never would be, a source for Assange, my situation gave him a chance to right a wrong... he seemed, through Sarah, determined to do everything he could to save me... That said, I was initially wary of Sarah's involvement. But Laura told me that she was serious, competent, and, most important, independent: one of the few at WikiLeaks who dared to openly disagree with Assange."

Details that are so personal, openly admitting his distrust and disagreements with Wikileaks, while still writing kind words speculating as to why they would help - this doesn't sound like a long-standing conspiracy and a clever cover story. It sounds incredibly believable.

Bias in AI (whatever the source or nature of the problem) is a real issue that needs addressing, but taking the relevant training data off of ImageNet seems like a perfect example of papering over a problem to avoid really confronting it. We will need to find ways to make AI programs than can see beyond the biases (about humans or otherwise) that will always exist to some degree in real-world data.

If the ImageNet contains bias that leads to embarrassing results- that’s fine! That give us a readily available toy instance of the problem to study. Taking that away could actively harm anti-bias research.

> You can’t just create a React app.

Only you can. React on a CDN works and create-react-app is but a one line CLI invocation to... create a React app.

> we’d need to get rid of Webpack, since it’s difficult to comprehend and customize

Is it? You don't really need to customise create-react-app and even if you did, Webpack has good docs.

> We’d drop Babel too, since transpiling creates a workflow burden (especially for debugging).

Bit slow to start up the dev server, I grant you, but we're talking seconds here and how often do you do it? Hot reloading is instant. Source maps work. This feels fairly false. Importantly, the tool chain will check my code for issues, making my work flow much better. Especially if we throw in typescript. It also lets me use things like lambdas, again making me more productive, not less.

> we can end up with a codebase that’s shockingly React-like, without the workflow and maintenance overhead

Except for maintaining your own custom router, event handling, wrapper around some popular CSS framework so that you don't have to style everything explicitly, and all the rest of it, of course.

> It’s hard to overstate how much easier it is to develop once all the extra tooling and abstractions are gone.

It's hard, because it isn't really easier, is it? What specifically is easier? Having to make and debug all your own custom everything, including your own leaky abstraction? Having to figure out how to optimise the site's performance because you've thrown away the virtual DOM and all the benefits that brings? Having to write your tests against a real browser's DOM engine?

> You save a file, you refresh the page, and you see your changes.

That works just fine with create-react-app, etc.

> You can read your stack traces.

I already can, thank you.

> You can pause execution and not be lost.

Have you heard of breakpoints, or run to cursor? I'm not sure what this even means - does the author mean hitting the pause button in the debugger randomly while rendering the page?

> You can spend all of your time working on your app, instead of chasing down obscure build issues.

I already do, thank you. I suspect chasing down obscure build issues is comfortably less than 1% of the problem. I suspect it will be more than that if I follow the author's advice by "creating a production-only build", which will make my prod and dev environments wildly diverge. No thank you. I already have a production-ready build backed by battle-tested tools maintained by someone else.

This looks strongly like a toy solution in search of a problem.

No one would advocate building your own custom C++ compiler just because you don't use all the features of the language. This is basically the same.
Same here. I feel like I went to school just before teachers caught on to the issue. Either that, or I just got lucky.
I don't think it's about costs here. No hospital in their right mind would trust an AI completely to not have to pay for a radiologist. It's more about augmenting their work.
Heroku gives you a runtime environment also, using Buildpacks. In that respect it's already "Serverless".
My baby seems to like it, most people do it, and if it's helping my wife and I while not EXPLICITLY hurting my child I will keep doing it.

It's not that small, the information above is not accurate.

However, I think people that do not see what we see in the support system are greatly underestimating the volume of Email an OEM/ODM receives on a daily basis, which then must be filtered and sorted through to determine the valid issues from the flood of spam and general inquiries. It's not something we have a solution for yet.

I always sorta assumed that Amazon pre-initialized runtimes and processes and started the lambdas from essentially a core dump. Is there some reason they don't do this, aside from laziness and a desire to bill you for the time spent starting a JVM or CLR? Does anyone else do this?

Wow, this is surprising. Only because a good friend of mine who works at JPL mentioned that Orion is seen by many as deliberately designed to be exorbitantly expensive and hard to repair - in order to give politicians a good reason to use funding meant for NASA elsewhere.

The government banning tobacco from sale is the same sort of free-will exercise by humans for humans as is me banning tobacco from my own body, just on different levels.

The government can just as well have "addiction" problems with things that are bad for the population which are supported by the population.

The difference isn't free-will or not, it is only the level on which it is applied.

I prefer personal free will to collective free will whenever it is possible and reasonable.

The purpose of government is to do things we can't do for ourselves. I can decide whether or not to use a substance which might be addictive or to abstain from it forever. The government can do that too but I really don't think they need to. They need to make sure that those kinds of products are sold pure and as expected, that there is accurate information about their usage and effects available, and that people selling them do not mislead or manipulatively hook people, but ultimately I would rather a responsible individual make decisions than a collective.

Asking a question in plain English like this shouldn't require further clarification.
I'm from Status, Nim's main sponsor and a blockchain company that is doing Ethereum 2.0 research and implementation in Nim.

Nim had the following appeal for us:

- Ethereum research is done in Python, we actually started our code with a tool called py2nim to convert a 50k lines Python codebase to Nim in less than a month (and remove cruft for 3 months but that's another story).

- Nim allows us to use a single language for research and production: the Python syntax, and the fast compilation speed are very helpful. In particular researchers found the Nim codebase easy to debug as the overhead vs the Python spec was quite low (and the Python spec is using types with mypy)

- Nim has a easy C FFI and is one of the rare languages that can directly use C++ libraries, including header-only template heavy libraries.

- Nim allows tight control over memory allocation, stack vs heap objects, has support for Android and iOS and very low-memory devices as well.

- Nim also can be very high-level

- Nim is as fast as C and can resort to inline C, inline C++ or inline assembly when needed. (inline javascript or Objective C are possible as well)

- You can produce WASM code via clang, emscripten, binaryen, there is even a Nes emulator demo from 2015 running in Nim compiled to WASM here: https://hookrace.net/nimes/

- Nim has a strong type-system, including generics and type-level integers, boolean and enums.

- Nim has probably the best compile-time capabilities of all languages. I'm writing a deep-learning compiler in Nim macros. Someone wrote a Cuda code generator in Nim macros, and the code generation is extremely nice to write a VM, an emulator or any kind of assemblers as you don't need to use an intermediate step to generate your opcode tables or generate your functions from that table.

Now on a personal note, I use Nim to write a deep learning framework similar to PyTorch or Tensorflow.

I think it's the best language to solve the 2-language problem, i.e. write research in Python, R or Matlab and production in C, C++ or Fortran.

The operator overloading or even operator creation is very useful. The macros allow me to have a slicing syntax similar to Numpy, something impossible in C++. Compilation speed is very nice as a developer, I don't know how people deal with waiting for C++ CI.

I reimplemented a matrix multiplication with performance similar to handwritten assembly BLAS from OpenBLAS and MKL in pure Nim so I'm not worried about performance as well.

Now I'm onto refactoring the backend with a proper compiler (similar to Halide but since it will be macro-based, there won't be the 2-stage compilation issue)

Thanks, so what you're saying is that you can cook up the "proper" environment from any binary source, right? Do you have or know of an example for doing this? Do you do it uniquely for every project?
Exactly, that's illegal under US anti-trust law. It's called product tying.

It's legal to achieve a monopoly by competitive means, via pure excellence in product and operations. But it's illegal to then attempt to achieve another monopoly in a different product by tying it to your legal monopoly product.

That was part of the US DoJ suit against Microsoft in the 90s.
"The Whole Brain Child" is an excellent primer on how children's brains work and behaviors are exhibited, and from researchers in this area. I'm now listening to the follow-up "No-Drama Discipline", and hoping it will provide even more practical advice in this area.

"How to Talk So Your Kids Will Listen, and How to Listen So Your Kids Will Talk" is also good.

"Parenting From The Inside Out" is a gut punch about getting your own psychological problems addressed first.

I'll also say that prioritizing sleep (as best as you can), proper diet, exercise, and healthy boundaries between work/home are sometimes so much more important than any book you could be reading.
