That's not going to happen. For example London is basically setting cycling safety regs for lorries [1], or in the US, California is basically setting the emissions limits for vehicles.

All it takes is for the US/Europe/China to take a stand. No shipping company is going to ignore those markets.

Hi folks: So we're monitoring most major 2020 Presidential Candidates' sites for visual + HTML/DOM + network + extracted text changes. (You can see all detected changed at the above link.) There's a lot of noise! So we're using ML to identify significant changes. (You can see these findings so far at the top of the page.)

We've trained our model using detected changes from corporate sites and some earlier political sites. Each change for our model was human-rated in terms of relevance/importance, and we also feed in other descriptive attributes about each change, such as DOM location, immediate parent tag, and several other attributes.
Huh? That's a terrible example, gravity is easily observable here on Earth, hence why the theory was formulated using empirical experiments.

Yes. It seemed like every single one of their drivers was getting messages from one of their chat rooms in HipChat. It was like 25k people in a single room iirc. They seemed to be using it for notifications or something?

At any rate HipChat was already dead prior to the sale. Atlassian made a new program from scratch called Stride which was its own little awful can of worms.

On paper, I ought to be fine here. Germanic life doesn't jive with me, that's all. I feel very culturally isolated and alienated and would go so far as to say that I find the German aesthetic/way-of-life somehow depressing.

I spent various parts of my childhood in Germanic countries and was going through a difficult time then as a kid. I think I've been unable to separate that time from my perception/understanding of Germanic countries and that that has a lot to do with it as well.

We have an interesting societal conundrum here. Student athletes are below college material for specific sports (college football being a great example). If we do not allow the footballers in, then they would not be at the college, however, by allowing these sub par students into the college based on a need from the college, they are effectively subsidizing their educational capabilities to maintain NCAA eligibility (athletes at colleges have a different support system than us “normies.” With dedicated staff for tutoring, transportation, food, and housing). There can be a case made for the NCAA paying out more than living wages to these athletes while they are there.

What will be fun is to figure out how California is going to implement this wild hared idea if the sport is not profitable: looking at you water polo. The athletes are playing and doing similar workout regimens as the football, yet no pay... what do you do with this. What about Title IX discrimination when the men’s football gets monies while the ladies do not.

No, the issue here is that there's a concurrent conflict of interest where the same person has two jobs where it's clear they may need to recuse themselves from certain decisions.

I haven't said anything at all about:

1. banning
2. all
3. past government employees
4. from all jobs

Those were all generalizations you added.

I am talking about the need to:

1. scope recusals or avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest
2. For some jobs
3. For current government employees who have concurrent roles in which their interests could be misaligned
4. For some jobs where such a conflict of interest can occur

I hope you understand that some people might be frustrated with you when you turn a rather minimalist position into this maximalist nightmare that even past government employees should be considered unemployable.

I generally agree with your comment, but it's worth nothing that despite the US population increasing and the number of kids attenting college increasing even more the top schools have generally not increased enrollment sizes much at all.

It's interesting to think about why this might be so.

No, and there's absolutely no need to be. It's perfectly fine to be concerned about climate change, but if you're experiencing anxiety or depression, it's best to seek help and overcome that. It's still a vast and complex discussion of what to be done, but as soon as you subject yourself to the climate hysteria (with the latest outlandish and untrue(https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/no-climate...) claim being that the world will end in 12 years), you're being manipulated by politicians, media outlets, and other charlatans for fun and profit.

That article says:

>The [ratchet] provision could grant existing shareholders $200 million to $500 million worth of additional shares, most of which would go to SoftBank, Kennedy said. For example, if WeWork’s market cap came in at less than $14.5 billion post-IPO, the total value of additional shares issued to SoftBank under the provision would be more than $400 million.

$400 million doesn't seem to be much of a compensation for losing billions of dollars in investments.

And that assumes that the company will IPO before it goes bankrupt (e.g., from investors pulling the plug on any future investments to cut their losses).
I wonder what the next iteration of new CS tech will be once we apply ML to every field where it's easily applied.
There are a lot of activities that happen in the course of normal academics that contributes to the economic benefit of the school. Most of this is seen as being a normal course of attending school: tasks assigned for academic credit, or simply voluntarism. Athletics used to be that way until the demand side of the equation got out of hand.
>D0 is not really on the table because it is dilutive to 'P5' school earnings vs today's system of pretending to include G5 while excluding them from the big payouts.

Actually, currently, P5 schools lose money on the other schools in college football. The D0, in my mind, is not so much about California, as it is about evening out the chances of all the P5 schools. Right now you have to pay to play all these low level schools, which for a lot of P5 schools really does eat into profits. Additionally, in the current structure, the SEC for instance might play FCS teams and then fewer conference foes. This makes an uneven playing field for the BIG 12 or PAC 12 or what have you. So if you want a more even shot at one of the big 4 slots, you have to either pay out more money to play an extra low level school, or get the SEC to play an extra conference game. It's a bit more complex than that, because for instance OSU has plenty of money, but the conference won't let them play an additional cupcake. But you get the idea.

Now I'd bet a lot of the AD's would never actually admit it, but D0 is probably an attempt to tilt the scales in their direction by eliminating these, and other, structural impediments to their own success.

I do get the feeling, but I think part of it is simply that those of us that are used to C tend to underestimate its complexity. Especially when you consider various extensions which are widely used, the preprocessor magic often needed to perform essential tasks, and all the undefined behaviour.

There is really only one thing that I would say goes beyond keeping the language simple as possible: the async stuff. But I think it will probably be totally worth it. The async implementation looks a lot more elegant than anything I've seen so far, and it could be extremely useful in the embedded world, which is one of the places where C is dominant. It might make the language a bit more complicated, but it will make the resulting code much more simpler for a lot of applications, without compromising other goals like safety and efficiency.

Zig is still much, much closer to C than C++. If you don't think so, then you're vastly underestimating the complexity of C++.
AI Podcast with Peter Norvig
NCAA college athletes are paid in completely allowable ways. They just aren't paid based on the value they generate for the school.

When I was in school all the scholarship athletes had food, clothing, and housing stipends that were considerably more than they needed for any of those three things. Not to mention that the free education they receive.

I understand that the "education" most top tier football players receive isn't quite the same as the other students (football is a full time job). I just don't know how you can start paying players without causing some really sweeping side-effects that change the reason that so many people love college football.

With the proper regulation, I suppose you could probably give the players money that they deserve, while still keeping some of that amateur sports magic. Hopefully it doesn't evolve into the pre-NFL where only schools with money have football teams.

I'm also a little interested what could happen with Title IX. As far as I know, all athletes in a school have to get the same benefits and if you start paying college football players (the only ones that typically make any money for the school) what do you do about the girls on the gymnastics team or the guys on the lacrosse team?

"Gateway" is always presented as an alien-archeology adventure, but the Heechee are just a plot device, as is most of the plot. The actual story is about the AI trying to treat the messed-up human, but you wouldn't know it from e.g. the Wikipedia entry (warning, spoilers): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_(novel)

Yeah, same here. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I think a lot of us grew up thinking we are The Smartest People Ever because it seems like so much of your self-perception is solidified in your early teenage years.

It takes a whole lot to shake that. If you see a few pieces of evidence that other people are smarter, it's easy to dismiss. However, if you regularly surround yourself with people who can run circles around you and provide so much evidence that you can't ignore it, you're eventually forced to reevaluate yourself.

It's hard to scale up individual institutions and maintain quality.

What needs to happen is a broadening of the definition of "top schools".

The issue is that a "top school" is a definition inherently limited in size. The top 10 is the top 10 regardless of whether there are 100 or 1000 schools being considered. Also, regardless of how many people there are, as an entire society we can only agree on a group so large before the "top schools" are no longer actually common knowledge (and thus not a "top school" in many important ways).

Python is not context free (2012)
If rich people want to buy their way into university, why not? I think the argument is really:

1. Arbitrarily small class sizes - the degree is not so much about the education as it is about the prestige of being in small class size. But long term, who cares? There are obviously candidates that have equal or higher capability if the universities can limit the class size. Besides those that don't go have cheaper market rates and are more attractive investments since the universities strategy is pretty much increase the demand by lowering supply arbitrarily.

2. The idea that you buy merit that is undeserved. To be honest, I am not sure why this is a big deal. Its not in the universities long term best interest to give its clients undeserved merit, because the market decides their merit, and if they pump out people that don't have skills over time their "Prestige" doesn't amount to much, and their customers will go elsewhere. To be honest, I think this is already starting to be the case.

Really I think this argument boils down to distasteful envy and jealousy of the things rich people can "buy", which if you examine it carefully isn't the case anyway.
You tend to get the results from who we sell the missiles too. Ironically, I believe Iran has the most kills for the F-14 / AIM-54 missile, which had a whopping 100nm range. Then, I think Israel has been demonstrating the most combat effectiveness of the the F-35 in attacks in Syria...

Air-combat is "hard" to answer the "does it actually work" because it is very much like high stakes chess in the air. A lot of times you fire 1 missile to make the bogey defensive, and multiple missiles to kill. This gets even more complicated when you factor in differences in pilot skill, numbers, chaff, and electronic counter measures.
Seems to me that link more or less debunks the $93T estimate as partisan bullshit, which is what I expected it to be.

By explaining to them Chomsky Hierarchies they can understand limitations of regexes and learn about parsers and.

By showing them the regex able to parse a limited HTML subset they might be able to try it out and see such limitations by themselves on their own screen. Additionally they might be able to learn some new regex tricks.

Agreed. Tensorflow kinda reminds me of OpenGL in that its dependence on global flags causes some really annoying bugs, especially when you're using third-party libraries or pre-trained models. `enable_eager_execution`, `enable_tensor_equality`, and `enable_v2_tensorshape` have all completely broken my code at one point or another.
The problem with existing early-warning satellites
Yes and no. Some, not all, are given full or partial scholarships. And of those that are given full scholarships, many have a very difficult time balancing their studies and their athletics. Athletes are generally limited in which majors they can choose due to study time requirements and class, practice time conflicts.

I once inadvertently enrolled in a "business calculus" class that was apparently hand selected by the football coaches. Almost the entire class was the football team. We barely got through the first 5 chapters of the book and that was the easiest A I ever got.

So while the free education and room and board have some value, they don't have nearly as much as people think. I have known student athletes that quit playing and got a full time job just so they could afford to pay their own way and have time for classes.
Only solution I see is reducing their influence as much as possible.
the only reason people were killed en masse was because they were in the way of strategic interests, and the strategic interests were in the densely populated areas and accessed by land and crude aerial targeting, and the only way to defend these things was to stem the advance using other people.

For what it's worth, rx is already targeting multiple native graphics APIs (Vulkan/Metal/etc.) with a shared codebase through wgpu [0], so MoltenVK isn't necessary here anyway.

It might also be interesting to mention that wgpu is implemented with gfx-hal, which provides a common abstraction for native graphics APIs. But besides wgpu, gfx-hal is used in the implementation of gfx-portability [1], which is a MoltenVK alternative that runs on Metal, DX12, and DX11.
