> If anything happens in the society there's always a person who made the decision

This is not true in case of machine learning. Yes, there was a person or people who designed the model, gathered training data, trained the model and deployed the result. But the decisions the model is making as part of its function are not made by these people.

Most of the time, people who trained the model cannot even tell you why the model is making the decisions it is making. Tractability of ML models is currently a very hot topic in the field and progress is being made, but a lot of currently deployed models are inherently intractable.
Doesn’t have to all be raw, but just dont feed the garbage they sell as pet food if you care for your pets.
Sure thing, thanks for taking an interest. And yeah, that sounds about right. Although my dream is to gradually push this into the hands of some kind of meritocratic collective ownership, where the "workers" own the "means of production", which in this case would be the students/activists being able to fork the data, app code, and devops for free at any time.

RE ponzi scheme... hmmm... so when a Patron makes a $10 contribution, they can then choose which user receives half of their contribution. I wonder how to prevent the perception from turning Ponzi with this model...
I find elsewhere an assertion that what distinguishes neanderthal behavior from modern humans' most reliably is a total absence of trade networks.
You shouldn't speak ill of the dead like this. It is uncouth and crass for all sorts of reasons. It doesn't mean you need to forget or ignore it, it just means... today is not the day. More days will come.
Is this the official sudo repository?

https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/file/f75f786eddd5

It has more than 10 thousand commits, ~600 files, and close to 11MB of C code. Also, the code seems to have no unit tests, the main file is 1.4K lines long, has quintuple-nested conditionals and liberally uses goto statements.

Am I missing something here?
There is a way to start children young to become lawyers and doctors. Lawyers need perfect English. Doctors need perfect English and biology.

Our entire school system is wrong. :)
I am working on it. We force parents to go to school and that is wrong.

The key to rapid education is teaching the correct subjects. All science is functionally math. Physics is math and chemistry is math. Music is math. All written homework is functionally English. Art is functionally understanding of light and shadows, which is best taught through photography. Photography decouples ability to render (drawing) from ability to compose. Until the child is fluent at algebra and written English, teaching other subjects except for athletics relies on the child's innate talent or, more likely, their parents.

> How many daily actives does Candy Crush and Angry Birds have compared to PUBG?

I'm gonna make your point for you here: 'investment' can vary widely depending on game genre and mechanics and context. People who play Dwarf Fortress are going to be much more 'into it', on average, than people who play Angry Birds or Candy Crush. In practice, this is relevant to both the impact on the people playing, as well as their willingness to spend.

Totally agree. People in the US spend a lot of time thinking about eating but then most of what they eat is either plain crap or super high calorie. A slice of (good)
bread with some butter or cheese can be very satisfying if it’s good quality.
Yep, our cat came back from the dead after switching to human grade food.
Analogies always match up in a limited number of ways, so saying that the things in an analogy are different in some ways is not a specific criticism.

Apples are sold in markets. Most of us are not experts on apples any more than stocks. Yet we use what we do know to select from what is available, rather than having faith in market efficiency. Because there is information that the non-expert can easily perceive.

How can that be wrong with stocks? I'm getting the impression people are attributing the difference to the possibility of shorting stocks, but I don't think that is necessary in theory for efficient markets, and selling short is clearly not just as easy as going long, so the symmetry isn't there anyway.

What point are you trying to make?

Its about someone else forced into retirement after doing something unacceptable.

I have a hard time considering it an authoritarian regime as long as those "bad apples" have to feel the consequences. Even if there are way more of them than I'd like.

In case people here didn't notice... germany, like
other countries as well, has recently experienced a surge in alt-right populism. The AfD does get unpleasantly many votes, especially in some regions, but so far it seems to get handled reasonably well by the other parties. I personally are more worried about politics in the US reaching some breaking point.
I like bread, and have visited many countries. The loaf I remember most is from Norway. Crusty outside, chewy inside, overall delicious.

Sounds pretty good to me.
We live in an era where great art has so little power that it requires defending, and that doing so is considered to be controversial. Our time is a spiritual dark age.
One thing I vastly dislike with them is that they are still expanded in logging, while they are not expanded when logging is using "the old way".
That's the most reasonable explanation. Some of the reactions here are beyond absurd and make no sense except if they feel overwhelmed. I can at least empathize with that. Too much too fast can be hard to deal with.

Sometimes I forget I've spent a lot of time in a LGBTQ+-heavy community where this sort of basic respect for self-identity has been the norm for years. I think a lot of folks screaming bloody murder today will accept it once they acclimate and realize the requests were nothing extraordinary.

People who are used to he and she based on appearance and they when you don't know may need some time. They'll get there.
And it is self selecting. Filter for peeps who just don't care, and the ones who are really interested.

The hard cases are out of the funnel.

Maybe that has merit?

Not that I'm advocating forced signups. Hate em. But, I can see the logic in play here.
It's too bad to read these reports about his lecherousness, because he was without question a giant in the US world of letters.
There does appear to be a contingent of Lambda students that have had a poor experience. IIRC they were mostly related to a certain set of instructors.

I guess this is the issue of a popular startup - you get everyone talking about you, good and bad. Every startup has the problems listed in this article. It's pretty much the reality of startup life. But Lambda gets the microscope treatment.

In the end, though, it'll make them better for it. It's still interesting to note that this type of criticism will _never_ exist of any education system. Public dialogue here is good!
> This is a serious problems for companies selling software (including hardware that uses embedded software). There are commercial products which exist to make sure code is not GPL-tainted.

Many companies selling hardware that uses embedded software find it easier to simply comply with the GPL, thus protecting the users' rights to some extent. The cost of compliance is far smaller than the benefits available from drawing on the world of free software. If we can get more free-software developers to change the licenses of new versions of their software to the GPL, we can increase those benefits and influence more companies to choose GPL compliance instead of GPL avoidance. Even some companies that sell software choose GPL compliance.

Unfortunately, the GPLv2 is not strong enough to prevent "Tivoization", in which the users can obtain copies of the source code but cannot install modified versions on their own devices, even though theoretically they own those devices — in these cases the benefits of free software become impossible for the users to obtain in practice. This is a major reason why the GPLv3 was written.
Well, unlike the US we usually have tasty bread here. That helps :)
In California, as far as I know, they definitely work. You and your spouse need independent counsel(i.e. two lawyers) for it to be valid.

> However, Vipin Narang, a nuclear expert and political scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said removing the weapons would not be straightforward. “Extracting them under these circumstances may be incredibly risky since it would involve removing 50 nuclear weapons from the vaults, moving them on a Turkish base and flying them out of Turkish airspace,” Narang said. “They could be vulnerable to accidents, theft or attack.”

On the other hand, the weapons already are vulnerable to accidents, theft, or attack. A 2016 report notes:

> The continued presence of dozens of U.S. nuclear weapons at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey raises serious risks of their seizure by terrorists and other hostile forces, a new report by the nonpartisan Stimson Center finds. The report titled B61 Life Extension Program: Costs and Policy Considerations, found that it was an “unanswerable question,” whether the U.S. could have maintained control of the approximately 50 B61 nuclear weapons based at Incirlik during a protracted civil conflict in Turkey. During the failed July 15 coup attempt, power to Incirlik Air Base was cut off and the Turkish government prohibited U.S. aircraft from flying in or out. Eventually, the Incirlik base commander was arrested and implicated in the coup plot. The report’s findings come exactly one month after the failed coup attempt and on the heels of a milestone earlier this month authorizing the production and engineering phase of the B61 Life Extension Program.

Oh wow, hadn't seen that one -- that was in the aftermath of the 2011 Thailand floods that seriously impacted hard drive availability, there was almost nothing in the supply channel so we had to shuck external drives.

And yet, violence in the US started declining right around the same time more realistically violent video games started becoming a thing, like Mortal Kombat. It then continued declining even as we got Doom, and Quake, and Call of Duty.

Is there any actual evidence of this? Because so far based on your comments elsewhere, it sounds like you just have on some rose-tinted glasses about retro games, and harbor some personal antipathy to modern popular competitive PC games.
It is not true that the vast majority of early stage research is funded by the government. The NIH spends $30-35B a year on research, the top ~15 pharma companies spend $70B+, and about half of that is on early stage R&D. VCs invest $10-20B / year and most of that is early stage as well
So, honestly, I really REALLY wish tesla would switch everything over to CCS (or at least provide CCS adapters).

That being said, it has far less to do with charge rate and far more to do with charger coverage.

https://www.plugshare.com/

If you compare CCS to Tesla supercharger, You'll see big empty spaces where there are no CCS chargers

That's what I mean when I say "It's better" not that they have faster charge rates, but rather their coverage is more complete. You'll often find supercharger locations will have 10 stalls for charging whereas the CCS charge stations will have 2 or 3.

As more electric cars become more prevalent, that's going to be a big problem for these public networks.

But, as a side note, even supporting up to 400kW doesn't really mean anything if the car can only accept 100kW. AFAIK, most cars (tesla included) are basically limited to a 1C charge rate. But, as far as capacity goes, no car (AFAIK) has surpassed tesla. Which means that 400kW is basically something you won't see until cars with 200 or 300 kWh batteries exist.

This is similar to how Tesla's 250 kW charger will only charge at that rate for about 10 to 15 minutes when the battery is at around 10->15% full.
That is absolutely ridiculous! We love our cats, they are extremely intelligent, loving, funny and make great pets. Oh and companionship is a great purpose on its own. Try having a siamese cat, see if you don’t really like them lol.
Lets take, for example, a red light camera software that is trained to recognize plate numbers and issue traffic tickets. The decision to design and deploy the software was made by a human. The decision to send you a ticket was not. Nothing to do with complexity or being wrong, there is simply no human anywhere who made that specific decision.
Windows 2000 was actually pretty nice, it was my favorite Windows. It was an already quite refined member of the NT series and also the last no-nonsense NT. XP felt garish and annoying, even though the actual technology improved overall, especially with the service packs.

Unless I visit that page very frequently that use case is killed completely by a permission promt. It's easier to let me do it manually than to ask for my permission to do it automagically.
This makes clean string interpolation so much easier to do, especially for print statements. It's almost hard to use python < 3.6 now because of them.

You say you have 3 years experience with CFD, yet not much programming experience -- that doesn't exactly make sense to me.

Have you looked at how CFD is similar to the flow of money, goods, music, video, etc? Making career changes based on what you already know, but in a different field is far more effective than restarting at the bottom on a new profession. Perhaps you could look at what areas of application appeal to you more than automotive and then look at how you could apply at least part of your existing expertise to that area. Once you have that sorted, you could focus your programming learning within that domain and thus start looking for work in that new area.
In my own experience I got a drug company to directly reimburse me the copay. They didn't care about the middle man, just proof that it was their medicine.
Isn't it a bit of a different message, "don't trash your body for the sake of your future kids"?

Is shared memory one of those things that I should try to access/use immediately, or wait for someone to write a wrapper library around, due to the large number of edge cases/strangeness that might occur?
That criterion has had to be abandoned, replaced with "forms reproductive groups with practical boundaries".

Sometimes a river is that boundary, or a preferred prey species, a mating strategy, or odor preference.

Otherwise, we cannot distinguish bear, dog, or great-cat species.
Not OP but I've never liked the notion of "too soon" as a reason for not doing/saying things, it feels very arbitrary. And I don't know much about the person of subject but I will speak ill of anyone living or dead if they are someone worth speaking ill of.

I feel like this article somewhat undersells brødskriver. They can be delicious.

Most important is good bread, which is super common here, despite it being totally unavailable in most other countries. All ordinary grocery stores get freshly baked bread every day, whole in paper bags of course.

For example - with a thick slice of butter, then some oven-baked liver paste and two slices of gherkin on top and boom - you have something delicious in a single minute.

> The typing module incorporates several new features:

Ah, I've been waiting for this. I've been able to use Python's optional types pretty much everywhere except for dictionaries that are used as pseudo-objects, which is a fairly common pattern in Python. This should patch that hole nicely.
It is not true that the vast majority of early stage research is funded by the government. The NIH spends $30-35B a year on research, the top ~15 pharma companies spend $70B+, and about half of that is on early stage R&D. VCs invest $10-20B / year and most of that is early stage as well

So implementing a publicly funded drug r&d industry would be vastly more complicated than "increased funding"

High drug prices are a major issue (arguably though, they are less of an issue than high hospital / physician costs bc these make up 50% of healthcare spend compared to 10-20% for drugs), but it is disappointing that people are so unaware of the basics of how the industry works
That's too bad. I think I read about Vancouver, BC implementing a similar tax and it being helpful.
This is the lunch I grew up eating in the U.S. Personally, I much prefer it over all the crap most people eat for lunch. But then again, my family is Swedish, so no surprise I guess.
While what you are saying is true in terms of the pet’s needs, your claim about pet food is false. Pet food is garbage grade, waste, fillers and some vitamin powder sprinkled on top. Dry food is even worse, devoid of any moisture. Pet food is not something any living thing should be eating.
I'm pretty sure the self-driving cars thing was bullshit the whole time. A great way to string along investors.

There is, as is the case with everything about Uber, no meaningful moat. There are a lot of companies and teams pouring rivers of gold into the problem, many of whom are already profitable from other businesses and who can raise debt at relatively low cost (vs diluting shareholders again, and again, and again).

The carmakers will have their own services. Google will. Everyone else who rounds up a few shekels from friends and family will do it in their hometown. The taxi companies will, so will the livery companies. Car financiers will pile in with monthly payment schemes "but with an app!". There'll be ten "AirBNB for Uber" startups enthusiastically shanking each other with VC shivs.

When the dust settles it will at best be a game won by those who were already profitable coming in, at worst a game of musical bankruptcies.

Nothing about self-driving cars will save Uber. Only raising their price to cover the cost of every ride and accepting a dramatic reduction in topline revenue will do so.
Is that expectation wrt. responsiveness guarantees? In other words, if I'm just interested in throughput are CPU intensive tasks a problem? For example, my expectation is that it would be appropriate to use the new Tokio scheduler to parallelize a compute intensive simulation workload (where inside a "frame" responsiveness is not a problem).
I think it would be tough to comment on any of this without having gone through the program myself, though I do wish there was an “undercover” senior software engineer who would sign up for the part time program and do maybe a month or more of the curriculum and write about it.

Knowing nothing else about the program the biggest red flag For me is that you owe 40% of the ISA after only 5 weeks of the 9 month program (e.g. less than 14% complete). That seems really excessive, and would seem like it would drive employees to “accept” students even if they knew there was minimal chance they’d be able to complete the entire program.
Not really. Networks complicate all of that severely.

This massive price escalation was called out as a definite outcome by progressives seeking a public option at the time.

Insurers bought facilities and raising dollar amounts kept revenue near expectations.
The first public release of GNU Emacs was 13.1 in March 1985. In July 1985, 16.56 was released with (RMS claims) all of Gosling's code replaced with new implementations. So we're talking about four months here.

I think Gosling is claiming that some of his own code was still in there, regardless of what RMS said he rewrote. Just from casually poking the source code I can scrounge up [1], it doesn't look like there's any Gosling code in GNU 16.56 or later versions. But there's a lot of code in there so who knows.

As a side note, as late as 1995 [2] Unipress was still trying to sell its Gosling derivative starting at $395 a seat. It had a nice list of features, including "Demonstrably better than vi", but I bet it didn't let you psychoanalyze Zippy.
