Can Apple switch to alternative search such as DuckDuckGo or Bing without substantially upsetting customers? Perhaps with nobody really noticing or producing fanfare? I think the difference between DDG and Google is the difference in what is sufficiently compelling for customers to feel.

Similarly, can Apple quite visibly switch map providers without much difference to customers?

As for news sources I suspect people are already very promiscuous, which is part of the problem.

Getting a university degree has been the single most rewarding experience in my life. It gave me opportunity in life. I was born to very poor parents who didn't have high school diploma or degree. We had almost nothing growing up. Getting formal education changed my life. I got internship before graduating with my degree. And I got entry level position immediately after graduating. I started saving to pay off my student loans immediately after that.

I find this article to be a little frustrating. It is kind of like a layperson going to a mechanic convention and saying "all I heard about was engines, brakes and tires. Everyone is interested in tires".

If you are not in the domain, then you will not understand why the 'devops' engineers are all looking at these things. Kudos to the developer for going to the conference and learning something new.

Devops are exactly the same as Software Engineers. There are those people that just slap code together and do not care about design, tests or the longevity of the product. Devops can be the same where they just push the button in AWS, create some bash scripts and get things running.

Then you have those Devops that approach building product and infrastructure in a repeatable, scalable, traceable fashion. They care about software engineering practices and building something to last.

I work as something in between a platform engineer and ops. I run 4 kubernetes clusters in GCP, had to build up all the underlying resources (dbs, service accounts, storage, clusters) and get the product running on it. I use terraform for this, including kubernetes deployments, and it works quite well.

Just like software engineers, devops/ops is under time constraints and have to hack things together. Whatever it takes to keep the business running...

The problem with bulldozing is that you get what the developer wants, not what anyone needs. I’ve had the dubious privilege of working and living in monumental architecture built by via mass bulldozing by an architect that people have heard of. They are all terribly nonfunctional buildings with nice, well thought out public spaces, but junk for everything else.

In one complex, there is no way to cross between two buildings outside about 100 yards away without going up and down 3 flights of stairs. (Which are very pretty, but icy in winter) The solution is that folks take an labyrinth of elevators, traversing parking garages and narrow hallways.

There’s a million examples. But as a rule, famous architect + greenfield equates to shitty building.

You are probably talking about clx. When talking about GUI libraries, I was more thinking about high-level libraries, which for example bind to Gtk, Qt or Tk. There are plenty of those libraries, and that is good. But I would have liked, if the SBCL maintainers had worked together with one of the maintainers of those libraries with the goal of eventually distributing it with SBCL. So there would be a default library to target when developing tools like e.g. a graphical debugger.
Today, quicklist solves a lot of dependency problems, but having an "official" GUI library could have stimulated development of more UI tools around SBCL.

You could also argue that humans create such models in a way that is automated in confidence of predictability and familiarity. Familiarity and predictability being a byproduct of how the human chooses to make certain actions and judgements routine. Given this, humans exhibit quite a lot of overconfidence when it comes to driving: see phone use. Over time a human will make many more mistakes that any amount of paying attention would of prevented them.

Do you have some sources on this? Every study I am finding even comparing like for like shows SDVs are about the same or safer. Also the facts I was able to find from Tesla do a lot of comparisons, not just the obscure ones you cite.
Yes. Though arguably this is just the same thing as the traditional approach to deep learning, which is to select features to input into a model. You don't always just have to train on raw information, pre-processing the input data and calculating specific features that we know, as humans, will be important for the final result and feeding those in addition to the raw data is a common approach. Don't see much difference between this and taking the output of a network and running it through a few decision trees. Most publishable projects applying AI you see typically have these type of human interaction on both sides of models.
Not sure what all is involved in “outrage culture”, but I would certainly think to add that social media thrives on anecdote, and emotions over reason. At the far end, sensational clickbait gets likes and reposts. The wheels are greased for quick reactionary comments to these posts, which in turn is the measure of a story/author’s impact. All at incredible speed and reach—our communication medium is more the mold of our culture than anything we would wish to say to the world and for all time.

We should all learn to think differently about what it means to be ‘fired’ or ‘terminated’. If you’re at the bottom of an organization, if you’re freelance or contractor, if you dare to have a personal opinion, ethics or a difficult moral compass (heterogeneous society) then you’re bound to be fired at some point in your career.

From what I know of the original story, there was no need to reveal the tweets. Do the work, but why expose this side?

I would go further and say it’s not really even a puzzle. It’s an interesting construction but in no way is this a meaningful puzzle. There’s so much knowledge that isn’t captured or really discoverable via the puzzle itself. “Oh, it’s encoded English. Oh, the first letters are just excluded because it’s convenient.”

This is basically not solvable unless you’ve been given a bunch of constraints that aren’t actually part of the puzzle.
The first time Windows update created the spike in CPU, the "fix" was to restore the cache used by Cortana at
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalCache"

Come the 2nd update that borked the start menu, I suspected that it might be because I restored the cache and so the "fix" was not applying correctly. I then proceeded to wipe the cache altogether and it simply rebuilt itself.

While you'll meet idiots who move to Berlin for 50k€, decent companies pay 70-80k€ for a mid-level developer. 90-100k€ isn't out of reach with 10+ years of experience, above that you probably need to switch to some kind of management.

Contract rates can be anywhere between 500€ (6+ months contract for a relatively inexperienced freelancer) to 1200€/day for specific and short-term gigs. Grossly speaking you need to charge twice your desired net salary in order to cover all the mandatory contributions, taxes and the risk factor.

To be fair, I think much of the urgency around getting an Ivy League education has more to do with parental status insecurities than actual life outcomes. I have three Ivy League degrees. Have they greased a few wheels in life? Yeah sure. But not as much as you would think. I see plenty of people who didn’t get platinum plated degrees achieve tremendous things thanks to the other legs of the achievement stool - hard work and luck. I’ve seen plenty of my classmates fizzle out on those same two factors. There are a huge number of great schools in this country beyond the top 15.

“Bob, I’ve been thinking a lot about you offer, and I’ve sought advice from people I really trust. I’d like to take you up on that offer, however, I’d like to propose we discuss how to structure this.”

Then you ASK him, what were your thoughts.

This requires him to show his hand.

Which gives you information on how to respond.

Then he will say what he wants, and this is where you counter.

Until we can demonstrate we can look after our single habitat, and demonstrate terraforming or a sealed habitat that's proven viable indefinitely, why would we look to space and multi-planetary?

Quite apart from not having a suitable planet in reachable range. Mars doesn't really cut it - that puts humanity's future in a sealed tin can or needs terraforming.

> bounded::integer uses built-in integers as the template parameter to determine its bounds. This means that it cannot store an integer larger than an unsigned 64-bit or unsigned 128-bit integer (depending on the platform) or smaller than a signed 64-bit or signed 128-bit integer. This restriction should be removed at some point in the future.

So when an overflow happens here I assume it's a compile time error (UB due to integer overflow in constexpr context must be diagnosed by the compiler). A handful of multiplications can get you there easily.

Consumer products have to be designed to be safe against consumers, to a large extent. You can’t just add a feature, add a disclaimer that says, in effect, “don’t use this”, and blame the user if they use the feature.

If you think harder about not, no one really turns on autopilot except on main roads or highways, hence almost no training data.

> credit bureaus, there isn't really a way to opt out of signing their T&Cs without also opting out of modern society.

If anyone's curious, here's more detail.

Opting out of credit bureaus is actually not possible. One can opt out of pre-screened offers of credit (https://optoutprescreen.com/, https://simpleoptout.com/#lexis-nexis), can lock your credit to prevent credit checks, and can opt out of some of data sharing, but financial institutions have safe harbor to release information to credit reporting agencies under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/1681).

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires financial institutions to let customers opt out of disclosing "nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party" (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/313.7). That constraint would be fairly reasonable, except that there's giant additional carve-outs (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/313.14, https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/313.15). The biggest things that no one can opt out of are "(3) To provide information to insurance rate advisory organizations, guaranty funds or agencies, agencies that are rating you, persons that are assessing your compliance with industry standards, and your attorneys, accountants, and auditors;" and "(i) To a consumer reporting agency in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681et seq.)."

This is true even if one has never requested, been extended, or will ever request credit. As you noted, the only way to "opt out" would be to only receive or pay cash for everything and forgo modern society.

The root cause is FCRA's overly broad scope. Instead of allowing credit applicants/recipients and credit providers to establish an equilibrium that works for both parties ("Want credit? Okay, opt in to credit reporting from your other vendors and then we'll review your application"), FCRA forcibly opts everyone in.

You've probably seen this form before: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/rules/privacy-con.... Those FCRA carve-outs are why "Can you limit this sharing?" always says "No" for the top few rows.
