That chart says that natural gas was 43.8% in 2018. It also gives:

Solar, 19.0%

Hydro, 12.3%

Wind, 6.5%

Geothermal, 5.7%

Wood/biomass, 2.7%

Add those renewable sources together and you get 46.2%, more (but only slightly more) than natural gas. It looks like the chart-maker's data source is the Energy Information Administration. The greater dominance of renewables that I found may be because I'm just tracking the CAISO grid. The EIA would have data covering Southern California as well.
I was in Prague a week or so ago and was surprised by how much graffiti there was regarding the politics Hong Kong/Taiwan/One China/etc. About a 60/40 mix of English and Chinese. Given the massive number of Chinese tourists I suppose it's a decent way to reach an audience in the touristy areas

This is functionally a coordinate system problem. Thankfully, it's pretty easy here. Just wait until we start getting more models for 3D data. I worked with 3D data for the longest time, and it was incredibly painful — different libraries can use wildly different coordinate systems (e.g. I've seen the up-direction be +z, -z, +y, and -y). At that point, it's nontrivially difficult to even figure out what the right way to convert between coordinate systems is.
The article you linked to is poor mostly because it's liberally bathed in whataboutism. Tibet's backwardness has nothing to do nor does it justify China's actions in Tibet. Two wrongs don't make a right.

No. The serious crime is breaking in. Usually when someone's house is broken into they don't care about the stuff at all. They care that their personal space and sense of security has been violated. Also the criminal doesn't know what they'll find when they get in in but they are setting up a situation that can escalate quickly. Kids home alone? Someone with a shotgun? The very act of breaking in means they are ready to commit violence. If someone breaks into our house and sleeps there all weekend while we are on vacation, but doesn't take anything, does that deserve a lesser sentence than if they took a $100 TV? Not in my opinion.
Ha, I'm re-reading The Lean Startup and this paragraph seems like a contradiction in terms of what an MVP is:

We decided to build an MVP based on our best estimates and test the market that way. The goal was to launch something in 6 months and test if the demand was there; and if it wasn’t, we’d only wasted 6 months. We chose to optimize for getting to market quickly rather than worrying about how much it would cost.

Contrast it to what the Lean Startup principles say:

The Lean Startup methodology has as a premise that every startup is a grand experiment that attempts to answer a question. The question is not "Can this product be built?" Instead, the questions are "Should this product be built?" and "Can we build a sustainable business around this set of products and services?"

So instead of doing what a lean startup would do, they did the opposite. Let's see what they could have done instead...

"How many customers will actually use it?"

- Lean startup: create a signup page with a mock up or landing page and a few buttons that work and every potential behind a "coming soon" screen
- Their approach: actually build the whole product and then launch it and see who's interested

"What is it all going to cost?"
- Lean startup: As little as possible to discover the insights we need to iterate and evolve the product
- Their approach: well we already paid the salary for our engineers and we've given them six months, so what's half the salary+benefits of X number of engineers?

"What should we charge for it? Is it going to cover the infrastructure costs?"
- Lean startup: experiment on costing and pricing as you go along
- Their approach: give away the product for a 30-day trial at a high cost to ourselves! Unbelievably expensive customer acquisition costs.

Reference: http://theleanstartup.com/principles

And now I guess I've truly learned why product managers exist. Someone let this crazy experiment run for six months. You're saying in six months you couldn't spend one month finding the simplest/cheapest ways to test these various hypothesis?

$100k customer acquisition spend is insane.

The whole post is just a lesson in contradicting what an MVP minimal viable product is.

Even when we were building v1, the team knew it wasn’t the ideal architecture. Before v1 even launched, there were plenty of conversations in our Slack about whether we should port Octopus to Linux and run it on Kubernetes, or see if we could run it on Windows within Kubernetes or use Nomad by Hashicorp?

Lol, engineers always want something fun to work on and sometimes it turns out to be a great idea. But they porting software for an MVP? Why not evolve the new product so that it generates more revenue or reduce the costs in some other way instead of talking about porting and rewriting?

If you're at an established company that has money to burn, go ahead, read the whole blog series. If you're trying to create a new startup, whether it's a product or service, avoid this article or read it as a warning. When you've spent as much as a decent engineer costs in one month...something's gone off the rails.

Yes, you're pretty sure about Signal, because it's end-to-end encrypted; you can verify what the binary you're running is actually doing (you have to have the expertise to do so, but then, even if Signal was written entirely in browser Javascript, you'd still need the cryptography expertise to verify it). By design, Signal doesn't depend on its serverside deployment for cryptographic security. That's not true of G Suite.
Yes the shift to 3D was absolutely a mixed bag. It is simply so much more work to make a 3D world, from level design to art. It enables some genres and games to exist (something like Monster Hunter: World just wouldn't be the same, and while Dark Souls is similar to Zelda and Metroid it also gains a lot from 3D) but it just diverts so many resources.

A common complaint about the open world trend is that environments feel bland, sparse, and copy-pasted. There is a lack of that hand-crafted attention to detail you mention when compared to something like Hollow Knight with beautiful backgrounds and precise control.

We have lots of errors and junk DNA. We make all kinds of mistakes. Perhaps not fatal ones yet, we'll see how climate change plays out.

It helps to know about the resurgence in Tianxia[1] ideology in China. It's vaguely analogous to the old American concept of Manifest Destiny, but with, of course, a much longer history and far greater scope. What it basically comes down to is that in the pre-Westphalian era the Chinese world view was that China had sovereignty over everything under heaven. The Great Game dealt that world view a pretty harsh blow, but the Chinese people persevered and through industry and shrewdness have restored themselves to something like their historical standing. I don't expect them to stop here. Influence is almost as much of a drug as power, and testing it is self-reinforcing. Look at how China is making the NBA their whipping boy for another example.

I think this really depends on how much you're willing to assume. You are right of course that the general problem is intractable, because you'd end up having to analyze frameworks, system calls, kernels, etc. But if you are able to assume those function as stated, then yes, you can certainly prove limited facts. For example, the sel4 microkernel is proven correct. Part of this proof of correctness is that all system calls do terminate.

But, actually, the most straightforward way to show that most 'everyday' programs terminate is -- assuming functionality of the language runtime as stated -- that they typically consist of non-recursive functions or functions on structurally smaller inputs. It would be obnoxious, but not difficult to show that a program like 'grep' terminates, assuming functionality of the operating system and hardware on which its running. This is actually fairly straightforwards, and many many functional languages with a focus on correctness have totality checking builtin. For example, Idris and Agda.

Of course, if you're going to ask to prove both functionality of the operating system (like Linux + glibc) or the processor itself, then that could indeed be trickier. But, if you limit your stack, it's certainly possible. The truth is that most computing does not consist of solving Turing complete problems.

I disagree. It’s completely fair. Handling basic tasks on nice freeways is exactly what adaptive cruise control + lane keeping is for. Last I checked, autopilot couldn’t even stop for a stop sign unless you count “shadow mode” claims.
I used to think that, but now I agree with George Hotz. Tesla uses machine learning to map inputs to control outputs. Google is using it just to build a model of the world and then use program logic to decide the control action to take.

The problem with the latter approach is the long tail of real life variety doesn't lend itself to a fixed set of programmed rules. You'll always have more edge cases.

I think Waymos approach gets you to 90% faster, but then plateaus.

Beijing doesn't care. Beijing only cares about 1 thing- internal unity. What better way to promote this than to show the strength of modern China.

China wants other countries to fear China's economic and military power, and to bow down to China's demand (or, at the very least, fearful of repercussions from China.)

I suspect that China is perfectly content with not interacting with other countries ever, as long as other countries recognizes China as the most powerful country in the world.

Calling this service public is misleading, especially since Waymo created the bifurcation between Waymo One (no NDA) and Early Riders (NDA). Both of these programs you have to apply for and be accepted, so neither is public. And Waymo has made no claim of merging these. The upcoming driverless rides Waymo refers to in this article could very well be for the Early Riders still under an NDA - which theoretically could already be happening based on their past announcements (although the abundance of cell phones strongly suggests this is not the case).

This announcement is just a repeat of what they've said before. If they actually do it this time then that's great, but they haven't actually said anything new here.

I'm curious what HN, particularly the standing desk and ergonomics nerds, thinks about this statement?

Turns out, humans aren’t really designed to stand for long periods with feet flat on the floor. This contributes to stress on the spine, and you can feel it in your lower back. A foot rail allows us to redistribute the load on our feet—first one foot, then the other—and alter the tilt of our spines.
>People who go to church have values", doesn't mean "People who don't go to church don't have values"

>To your original point about drugs helping you make friends, I'd argue that you're making friends because 1. It's a shared experience, and 2. It's taboo, which forces extra trust between you and everyone who joins. Not so much as an effect of the drugs themselves.

We are in agreement there. The community aspect is paramount.

You absolutely can. Hell, I've been to plenty of those. (Of course they won't explicitly mention the drugs but given the clandestine or ephemeral setting and the kind of music you know what to expect.)

>nor can you invite your wife and kids to go camping and do LSD

Okay I admit I chuckled. Note that many festivals or similar events have whole families attending, complete with spouse and kids. Presumably the parents take care of the kids and don't give them acid but that doesn't prevent the friendmaking with fellow festival goers.

>so your suggestion is not very helpful for the kinds of people here who would be having a hard time making friends in their adulthood.

Most ravers are in their adulthood. Raves have been a thing for 30+ years, some of the early adopters are old enough to have grandkids.

That's my point. The natural selection process for self-driving automobiles is just beginning, as they meet the challenge of the real world. I'm concerned that it is going to mirror the messiness that biological evolution involves.
Operating domain is the key concept with Level 4 and Level 5. Level 4 any time anywhere is not a 2020 goal, but Level 4 in specific locations and conditions is on the way. Same with Level 5. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Waymo car without a steering wheel driving people around Phoenix in 2025, but a Chicago winter is a different story.
Can it even win a Nobel? I thought the Nobel is not awarded for math, and string theory is just math, with no verifiable real-world side effects or consequences that I'm aware of.
Sure there is ~200,000 years of natural selection. That probably 10,000 generations of learning assuming 20 years.

But computers can run 10,000 simulations to learn in minutes. And obviously we are not going to create a autonomous driving ability in minutes but we can speed up the learning evolution significantly in machine world vs humans that have 10-50 years per evolutionary learning event.

My view is the hard thing about autonomous driving will be the change in style of accidents. Even if autonomous driving has half of human accidents we will probably see things that to the human eye seem really obvious so people will be 'if it can't predict that why should I trust it' type thing. But we won't see the many accidents a computer avoids that a human would make or finds obvious.

I'm positive about it but suspect we will see the roll out take many decades as it starts in cities with the right conditions, moves to trucking routes but will probably take some time for national metro coverage.
You don't need to know m, just h(m) which is commonly found in database breaches
Saying evolution is driven by mistakes is confusing and attributing agency to the algorithm. "Mistakes" don't exist when it comes to evolution as the outcome is not driven by anything and as such cannot "end up" in the wrong place. As an example, tigers aren't less evolved than humans, rather both species have the same level of evolution, tigers happen to have evolved tools to hunt with their teeth and claws, and that wasn't as rewarding as optimizing for brain size, but neither species is more correct than the other.
Freeways are a very ideal environment - wide, clearly marked lanes, no traffic lights, no pedestrians/bikes, no random stops, no navigation ambiguity. Unless Tesla has self driving cars on city roads (which all of the others so), they can't really be part of the same conversation.

Who are you grouping under auspices of "the Chinese people"? Clearly there are large groups of people within China who want nothing to do with the One China policy.
