Agriculture wasn't really mentioned.

But one way to drastically improve this situation is to improve public transit and alternative transit (e.g., welcome electric scooters if they can leave they're sustainably designed and sourced). Most people live in cities, so improving that story for cities is the most impactful way to reduce civil emissions.

As for corporations, I doubt any moral high ground will be impactful. It will almost certainly come to violence (or if we're lucky, implied violence via state action) over that in one form or another.
I agree; that's the kind of comparison I think we should be making. As I said in another comment, if self-driving cars replaced humans the day they became safer than human drivers, they would become our second most deadly consumer technology next to guns. Wringing our hands over fender benders isn't a good start to the conversation. I think instead of worrying that people aren't scared enough, we should think about how hard it will be for people to accept the idea of self-driving cars killing and mutilating people every day while at the same time being a safety upgrade over the status quo they're used to.

Good points. It’s hard to predict where these QC developments will lead.

One little aside, John Ambrose Fleming[1] is credited for inventing the first electronic tube (a vacuum tube based diode) around 1904 that initiated the development of modern (tube based) electronics.

However, the work at Thomas Edison’s laboratories in previous decades on the electric light bulb were almost certainly important prerequisites to Fleming’s work. He even worked for Edison for a period of time.

Is permanent residency really permanent? As far as I'm aware, only New Zealand PR is really permanent. For Canada and Taiwan, I know that if I leave, I'd lose it. So the only unconditional right to return is citizenship, and naturalising to become Japanese is really hard from what I've heard.
> 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.

Often you have control over the sending and receiving parts of an API and can design the transport format to fit your application logic.

For example, I am currently using a GraphQL API and the data structures I get from this API are exactly what I need in my application.

I like Rich Hickey's definitions

Simple (roots: sim, plex) – one fold or braid

Complex – braided or folded together

Easy – near to our capabilities

These are really articulate definitions that helped me as a programmer.

Emergent complexity from simple systems – it seems like there might be an insight here. Avdi says we can build complex systems out of simple components. He says complex systems are hard to understand. He says it's not feasible to understand the system or predict it. So they need to be measured and observed. That's interesting. I don't know if it's true that a system built out of simple components cannot be understood. How precise is the model? How many layers deep?
That article says that doubling flops/$ used to take 1 year and now takes 3. It's open question whether that time gap will confirm to grow.

I have this overview:

which just misses details on stack-overflows on overlarge nesting levels, or denial of service attacks on overlarge strings, arrays or maps.

Better formats which prepended sizes do have an advantage here, such as msgpack. But msgpack has no CRC or digest verification to detect missing or cut-off tails.
JSON (its secure 1st RFC 4627) must be properly nested, it does not need this. From the 2nd RFC 7159 on it became insecure, and the 3rd RFC 8259 is merely a joke, as it didn't fix the known issues, only removed a harmless feature.

A lot of DL is about teaching computers to solve problems that are easy for humans (like driving and recognizing your grandmother) but for which humans have a tough time explaining how they do it.

The holy grail of neural nets has always been to build a simulation of the brain, figure out how it works, and apply that knowledge to how the human brain might work.

We're not there yet but progress has been made. Eventually we'll understand NNs well enough to explain not only themselves but also human brains. In any case we have no choice because we cannot deploy NNs in life critical situations until we understand how they work, because that's the only way to understand how they fail.

No, it's not. Im an AI researcher at a big tech company. It would have been far wiser financially to start as a software engineer after my Bachelor's.

Don't get me wrong, they will all be employable, but the field moves so fast, I have my doubts there will be cushy FAANG jobs for everyone capable of playing around with network architectures in a few years. It's a terrible idea to start one based on the hype few years ago.
Perhaps the difference is in the nature of the information that is being probed and its larger context? Visual imagery often provides almost all of its own context, but the “meaning” of a sentence can be radically different depending upon its source. Humans produce words, so you almost need a working theory of mind to fully understand them. None of that context will ever make it into word2vec.

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

It depends on the extant to which your program needs to communicate/interoperate with other programs...in particular ones without the same programming language (no Java RMI).

Under a "Unix" philosophy, this happens quite a bit.
I don't think so.

I mean, fifteen years ago, electric cars weren't a thing. If we had abandoned cars in favor of bicycles then, Tesla wouldn't have gotten off the ground. And I think I'd rather ride around in a Tesla than on a Schwinn.

Basically, I think we have to find climate solutions that allow us to maintain our standard of living. And I think by accepting that's what we need to do, we can and will find those choices, and not divert attention to unpalatable options.

I'm an optimist, but the post-enlightenment world routinely justifies such optimism.

What’s the latency tolerance for this? I have to imagine that, given mobile internet conditions, it’s in the range of seconds. It also raises the question - is it really a dead-man’s switch, or more like a heartbeat being sent every N milliseconds? How many heartbeat signals can be lost?

It’s not as simple as a deadman’s switch; it can’t be if it’s using a mobile phone and the internet.
This doesn't work for encryption, though. You'd need a cryptosystem where it's possible to encrypt a message with H(x) such that it can only (efficiently) be decrypted given x, for a hash function H. To the best of my knowledge, no such hash function is known.

> unless we look really hard at what's critical and preserve that immediately, there's not going to be a functional society and industrial framework in which these guarantees can be delivered.

The hard truth that makes this stuff even harder to convince is that, deep down, we know society will still function for those of us at the very top. Things will get permanently worse but _somehow_ systems will get set up so that those at the top of society will basically live comfortably forever.

The worst case climate scenarios are not actually "game over" for a lot of people. It will cause immense, quasi-permanent damage to a lot of people. But those people don't hold the levers of power.

I can also speak some Japanese, but, other than that, that's it. The rest of my knowledge is a smattering of weird details about various languages that are useful for writing text renderers but terribly unhelpful for actually understanding the languages.

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

Of course, it's not limited to JSON. For applications, it should be a tiny insignificant detail what format is used for serialization. Be it JSON or some superior format, such as XML.
What you leave out of your calculation is the value of peoples time. Non individualized transport currently has the advantage of people being able to work instead of having to operate the vehicle. Once this goes away with self driving cars, the only advantage non individualized transport might have is price. Looking at current ticket prices, I doubt that it will be able to compete on that alone.

My thoughts exactly.
I live in Berlin for ~6 years and my German is rather poor. All my friends speak English including the german ones and I don't see what would I have in common w/ someone who doesn't speak English at all.

The main reason why I gave up on German classes is that it is simply too much of an investment with very little benefit to my especially that I am not a 100% sure I want to stay in Germany.
What also bugs me is that in a city/country that is in dire need for knowledge works yet seems unfriendly towards non-German-speaking immigrants, at least from the authority offices.

The replies to this post are amazingly defensive. Did you not get the theme? WHY is the theme. You folks stating your specific case seem to have a "why", and a need to defend yourselves even though you weren't specifically attacked.

I am saying the author did not express the limitation well, and instead made it sound like they don't understand sizeof(int).

The conclusion is sound, the assignments reinforce learning through multiple and repeated usage of the various skills needed to complete them.
