So instead of a foot on a pedal connected mostly directly to the brakes, it is a finger on the button of a phone app over the internet? That is madness, imagine if your car's brake pedal had to go over the public internet and instead of a pedal is was a button in a probably poorly coded phone app.

Obviously not true, a propaganda machine based on ideology runs itself, all the better if there is money to be made.
It's interesting that they overlook a similar shift in both mathematics and politics in the 1930s. It was at that time that mathematicians showed that truth is undefinable and no finite formal system can encapsulate all of arithmetic.
A couple of takeaways for me:

1. oldspace and its supporters, if they have a clue, should be even more terrified than before by the scale of the vision. Even if only a percentage is achieved the disruption should be shattering

2. the unspoken juxtaposition between Musk on the one hand - on the face of it unpolished and light-hearted to the point of flippancy about a topic no less grand than the destiny of humanity, yet in reality visionary, fiercely determined and stunningly successful, and proceeding with at least as stated altruistic goals; and oldspace on the other - polished, solemn, pompous, claiming the sole capability and privilege to act as gatekeepers to space, yet in reality outdated, inefficient, outclassed, and acting like a resentful dog-in-the-manger in response to SpaceX. There's something tragicomic, almost Shakespearean about it all

While I can't comment on the exact instances of people using handicapped placards, I would like to bring up the existence of invisible disabilities [1]. These are disabilities that are not immediately obvious to onlookers. For example, people with xeroderma pigmentosum[2] have a very severe sensitivity to sunlight (sunburn within a few minutes, vastly increased risk of skin cancer). A handicap space would be needed to minimize time spent in the sun, but no issue would be present walking inside a building.

Suspending disbelief for a moment:

Future perfect nuclear fusion helps us become carbon neutral. Transportation, structures, agriculture, power generation are now carbon free. Yay!

But it's still not enough.

Carbon is now being added by "natural" causes, in a positive feedback loop. Thawing tundra, burning forests, ocean acidification. With the imminent threat of the ocean burping up all that the frozen methane currently stored on its floor.

Whatever is needed for humanity to become carbon neutral, we need much more to become carbon negative, to remove carbon faster than nature adds it.

My understanding is that models show that with a large enough geographically diverse combination of wind and solar almost no storage is required. Furthermore, with the cost of HVDC transmission lines dropping so quickly it's becoming economic to build such large networks.
This article doesn’t have any substance. It’s full of anecdata like shifting by 3 pixels to mess up a video game AI or some vague nonsense about “a model of this chair or this tv mounted to the wall.” It’s all casual hypotheticals.

There’s plenty of research on Bayesian neural networks for causal inference. But even more, a lot of causal inference problems are “small data” problems where choosing a strongly informative prior to pair with simple models is needed to prevent overfitting and poor generalization and to account for domain expertise.

Deep learning practitioners generally know plenty about this stuff and fully understand that deep neural networks are just one tool in the tool box, not applicable to all problems and certainly not approaching any kind of general AI solution that supersedes causal inference, feature engineering, etc.

This article is just a sensationalist hit job trying to capitalize on public anxieties about AI to raise the profile of this academic and try to sell more copies of his book.

I’d say, let’s not waste time on this crap. There are engineering problems that deep learning allows us to safely & reliably solve where other methods never could. We absolutely can trust these models for specific use cases. Let’s just get on with doing the work.
You don't need anything. The "use offline account" got renamed this way.
Five hacks used by students to buy university degree
there are some surprisingly weak arguments in the text. It's correct to not treat computational resources as constant, but ot treat them as unimportant or negligible is awful as well.

Already computational resources are becoming prohibitive with only a few institutions producing state of the art models at high financial cost. If the goal is AGI this might get exponentially worse. Intelligence needs to take resource consumption into account. The models we produce aren't even close to high level reasoning and we're already consuming significantly more energy than humans or animals, something is wrong.

The scale argument isn't great either because deep learning is running into the inverse issue of classical AI. Now instead of having to program all logic explicitly we have to formulate every individual problem as training data. This doesn't scale either. If an AI gets attacked by a wild animal the solution can't be to first produce 10k pictures of mauled victims, intelligence includes to reason about things in the abscence of data. We can't have autonomous cars constantly running into things until we provide huge amounts of data for every problem, this does not scale either.
If we are there already then frankly I am cool with it.

> because half of the average US Bachelor is general education with no professional impact

People that talented and motivated about CS should take computer engineering instead; much fewer general education courses are usually required.

Aside from that, there are two obvious ways to turn the general education requirements to your professional advantage: 1) writing courses, since the average developer can't write or put together a logical worth a damn and a lot of writing is needed as they get more senior and 2) foreign language courses, which open up job opportunities if you take the time to achieve basic proficiency.

If you want to add all the benefits, a fair consideration requires looking at all the costs, which you neglected. Pollution is but one.

I don't know enough to say where the cost-benefit analysis ends up, but I'm inclined to believe some rockets overall benefit humanity, like launching satellites to help solve our environmental challenges, but many don't, like space tourism.
I think this is a form of autogram: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogram

The article even provides a pair of mutually-describing sentences. Hofstadter has described these in at least one of his books, but I don't recall if he discussed how to generate them.
Right, the first was an at fault incident by the non-Tesla driver for sure.

In the second, the vehicle was allowed to drive across a traffic lane. And in fact it attempted to do so, but stopped at the threshold when it saw a vehicle approaching (which also hit the brakes). I fail so see how this isn't exactly the behavior claimed and desired.
All evidence so far suggests that self-driving cars are more dangerous than human drivers when similar conditions are taken into account.

The comparison numbers that Tesla parrots are between Teslas with modern safety features and in good weather conditions, and the entire rest of road fatalities, including motorcycles. Comparing similarly bodied cars in similar weather conditions, Tesla's self driving has more reported collisions per miles driven.

They won't (and shouldn't, since it should be preventable), but the fact of the matter is that coal power plants kill a hell of a lot of people, and recurring Fukushima style events are still less detrimental. They're just significantly flashier, and that makes them scarier.

> The question was why are universities conducting these investigations. Rape plus ongoing presence of the rapist is considered a form of sexual discrimination by the university

This doesn't follow. The sexes of victim and perpetrator can be changed arbitrarily without affecting the argument, in which case this has nothing to do with the sex of those involved. So in what way is this sexual discrimination, even if it is a "hostile" environment for the victim?

> Shouting racial epithets isn't a crime or even illegal, but a university that doesn't stop such ongoing behavior among its students is considered to be illegally racially discriminatory against the target of the epithets.

Except we come again to the fact that racial epithets are literal expressions of racial discrimination, but as per above, I don't see how the rape scenario qualifies under any defined legal term of sexual discrimination.
Probably better marketing.

You seem to be deliberately trying to not understand my clear points.

Yes, there are facts in the article. They are presented in unison with emotional retellings of difficult circumstances from the author’s subjective perceptions.

Because of this, it’s not easy to extract meaning about the facts that is not biased by the emotional presentation.

Yet when dealing with an issue of this importance, where there is great potential to do harm to a large cohort of people if we design ineffective or incorrect policies, it is paramount to consider just the facts and understand quantitatively how those facts would relate to measurable outcome changes society would value.

That makes it so much worse when a subjective narrative story creates a mixed picture of what the facts mean.
The video evidence of the L-form switching is no doubt very interesting, but a more accurate headline would be “One cause of resistance to certain antibiotics in UTIs identified.” Or the original article’s title, which is “Possible role of L-form switching in recurrent urinary tract infection”; see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12359-3

I would love to see data on how common this phenomenon is in various populations of UTI patients (elderly, young, inpatient, outpatient, etc), given different prior exposures to antibiotics; for now it looks like 30 patients were assessed.

There are obviously many different causes of resistance previously identified, going all the way back to penicillinase enzymes inactivating penicillin. As often happens with lay summaries, this makes it sound a little too much like the cause of all antibiotic resistance has been found.

The family accounts are crazy anyway. I once worked for an agency that had just bought its first Windows Phone for testing. Setting it up I dutifully signed in with the company’s MS account, but found that I couldn’t install any apps and there were loads of restrictions. It took me multiple hours of debugging to realise that because someone at the past had entered the company’s formation date in the birthdate of the MS account Windows Phone thought I was a child and blocked me from doing a load of the things I needed to do.
There is a special visa for highly skilled immigrants. If you hold an advanced degree (MSc or PhD), have a highly paying job offer, and are young, then you'll get a visa easily and there is a quick path to permanent residency (after 1 year in the best case). If you're not highly qualified, then I guess things are more difficult. From what I know the rules are straightforward, reasonable, and the visa application is processed quickly. My perspective may be limited, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

I don't know much about job market, but I met many expats working as software engineers and they didn't speak any Japanese.
I do not understand your argument. Criticizing RMS harshly has been a regular past-time for thousands of people in computing since forever, even by close collaborators. It's not that the man had a police force to protect him, but he used to take criticism with dignity. I cannot see how anybody could have ever been afraid of criticizing RMS (unless, say, they were one of the handful of FSF employees, which is not the case).

It is only when RMS has shown some "weakness" by resigning from his two alma maters due to journalistic pressure, that the rats jump in the criticism to finish the job.
Elaboration for "ちょっ"

Japanese hiragana chi, small yo, and small tsu.

Hiragana is a syllabary (not alphabet!) comprised of 46 sounds. Small hiragana can be used to modify the sound of the leading character to expand the set of available phonemes. Here, "Chi (small)yo" becomes "cho".

Small tsu is special. It represents a doubled or germinated consonant.

For example ちょっと (chotto) sounds like chot-to. Example:

Japanese is a really fun language. If you've ever had an interest in learning it, I recommend it. Reading kanji is a joy in and of itself, because it has a pleasant inner logic that gets deeper the more you learn.
> JSON is still the only secure by default one (if you ignore the two later updates, which made it

How can a data format be insecure?

> JSON is by far the easiest to parse (small and secure, no references),

It's relatively easy to parse (while not as easy as a sane well-specified version of CSV would be). But it also offers no structural integrity, which means that you need to augment the parsing code with terribly ugly validation code. (I don't really use JSON frequently, but the attempts at providing a principled validation framework on top of JSON that I've seen were... unsatisfying).

> In every application, any dependency to XML should be minimized, contained and preferably eliminated.

That's missing the point. It's not about JSON vs XML vs whatever. It's that application logic shouldn't be operating on transport data formats. And even if JSON has a simple representation as runtime data objects (in most scripting languages), that representation is pretty far from ideal compared to a representation tailored towards your specific application logic.

> Owning (as in caring about and as in business responsibility) the reliability and operation of systems you build ... is critical.

But that's not being in ops. That's about taking an interest in the running system.

You've just jumped on me saying I'm not interested in having a role in ops because I like to build software, and run off to some weird unsupported conclusion that I just write code and abandon it. I don't need to have a business responsibility for the running system in order to support it and be responsive to the ongoing needs of those that do.

> No country will ever accept more than one of those.

And yet most countries accept death toll and land area denial orders of magnitude higher every single year to keep operating coal plants and ICEs. As a randomly sampled person, you are almost certainly going to live less because of the use of hydrocarbons and you are almost certainly completely unaffected by the use of nuclear power.

This is the same effect as car crashes being just a death toll yearly statistic that everyone accepts, meanwhile each individual plane crash is subjected to news theatrics despite flying being orders of magnitude safer than driving.

Australian mining industry destroys one of the natural wonders of the world spanning 344,400 square kilometres just while doing business as usual? Meh.
