Not a promising opening:

> Whilst we can see violet and blue next to each other, there's no purple. Because purple doesn't exist.

Back in reality, "purple" and "violet" are synonymous.

The article also makes the completely unsupported assumption that the color you "should" be seeing when you look at a mixture of wavelengths is the color of the average wavelength of that mixture. That's how it decides that purple "should be" green. But that's nonsense.

> When you see red and green for example, the L and M cones both fire, and your brain interprets the result as something near both. And what's near both is yellow. So even though there's no yellow light entering your eye, your brain imagines the result as yellow, because both cones are being stimulated in similar amounts.

This gets the causality backwards. When you see red and green, your L and M cones both fire. And you interpret that as yellow, because yellow is what you perceive for that pattern of cone activation. To the brain, cone activation patterns are all there is. The question "what single wavelength would best approximate this activation pattern" is not even part of the model the brain is working with. But, obviously, if there is a single wavelength that approximates the activation pattern of a mixture, you'll perceive those two things as being similarly colored. Is it necessary for the single wavelength to be the arithmetic average of the wavelengths in the mixture? No.
What is the problem with cyan? That there is no adequate color space that can create more or less cyan? I would think it is just a mix of green and blue, no?

Is the same true for magenta as well? Is it a problem to convert between RGB and CMYK?

Wrong.

I guess you should leave the Catholic church then. Oh, you're not a member? Why should you have a say in what salary Catholics find adequate?
Part of the problem is that the web has become so complicated that making a new web browser requires such resources.

Imagine a world where two or three people working for a couple of months could come up with a new browser?
1. The integrity hash is the only sane way of including anything, ever. Loading unverified content from a CDN would be insane.

2. Doing a CDN-or-local fallback is trivial in JS.

(3. The scenario but-the-first-load is highly speculative, doesn't consider multiple factors, such as "although it's the first load for your site, the user already has the library cached from CDN")
TL;DR: both your objections have been solved for years now.
It seems like this one is really easy to test, like via the clothing example the top comment mentioned -- just see if the person can reliably differentiate between them
I don't get what the article means by "Google Interferes" beyond what we already know.

I can't imagine any notion of neutrality applied to search results, except making your search algorithm public, but then, Google is not a public service, it's Google results you came looking for by using Google, if you don't like them, and more and more people are not happy with the results as well, something else will emerge and win.

Yes, but that stuff isn't actually IPMI. You normally only need it if need a graphical console (or haven't re-directed to the IPMI serial link), or need to mount a boot image, which is typically painfully slow. (FreeIPMI and associated tools like conman are good for IPMI management, with a set of workarounds for defective implementations.)

No that's not how you do giant chips. Even at the scale of CPUs, there are enough bad parts that it's uneconomical to throw away chips. What Intel/AMD do, for example, they make 4-core chips. If one core doesn't work, they sell it as 3-core or 2-core system. If some of the cache doesn't work, they sell it as a lower cache version.

In the case of Cerebras, they have disable the bad blocks to get chips that actually work.
I find it quite impressive that everyone raised their voices, although ICANN and PIR seem to turn a blind eye to them.

For a registry, their main costs are nameserver costs and ICANN licensing fees (~$25K for gTLDs, not sure for classic TLDs). It's totally unfair on PIR side to jack the prices up just because they can.
This makes me think of ENS project (based on Ethereum) that is making a decentralized TLD. The registry is managed automatically by a smart contract.

Pros? The conditions are equal to all users. Cons? It is a wild west style registry with no governance besides the little the automated algorithm offers.

They're goal, if I understood correctly, is having .eth TLD managed by this decentralized registry. It can be an interesting experience.

[Full disclosure: I'm part of the Almonit project which uses ENS]

> nobody is proposing that AV use will ever be FREE. Why didn't they charge a fee for every trip?

What is the future of self-driving cars (SDCs)? Are they going to be deployed as a service, or are they going to be privately owned by individuals and sold as an option when you buy the car?

If SDCs are a service, then a study needs to charge a fee to match that.

If SDCs are individually owned, then the incremental cost of an extra trip is just fuel plus wear and tear. In this study, the chauffeurs used the study participants' own cars, so the participants presumably had to pay fuel costs and wear and tear. So this seems to match closely what they'd pay.
The Year Artificial Intelligence Changed Forever
I would point out that people made this argument back in 2005, 2010, 2015, and now 2019 and all that's happened is is the argument has evolved from "you can use X other search engines!" to "well even if they have a monopolistic position, someone else will make one eventually".
Except you cant. The rotation of one tether changes witg each hook event. No two would ever be turning at the same rate. So you cannot bolt multiple into a wheel system. You could certainly improve one, make it heavier/longer/bigger, but it cannot have multiple strands.
I really feel like Docker Compose and Swarm are underrated.

For running groups of related containers during development, Compose is wonderful - Compose files are simple and easy to understand even if you've never seen one before.

Swarm is also good for small-scale production deployments - it's just so simple to deploy and update. "secrets" and "configs" are also really useful, but of course I see the appeal of a centralised system such as Vault for complex deployments.

I've never tried to use Swarm it at scale, so don't know what kind of issues you might face that k8s would solve.

These are two different arguments, of course. Google isn't a public service, so I do not expect their algorithm to be public. But Google's dominant position also might make it almost impossible for a competitor to emerge. I am not saying, it couldn't happen, but the old capitalist idea has not shown to work well with monopolies all that much.
Fabulous line: The essence of a book isn't the ideas it contains. The essence of a book is "book." Thinking that library catalogs exist to organize concepts confuses the container for the thing contained.

It's faster than using a dictionary to look up words one-by-one, and Google's actually integrated a dictionary into the interface. And beginner sentences are well-represented in the corpus so they're relatively unlikely to mislead.

Using Google Translate for learning a language could be likened to using training wheels on a bike.
Yeah I was really wondering why they didn't just add a new CA. It would be really weird if something as critical as consul was one the few program in the world that only accept a single root certificate.
One new model Firefox can adopt (try) is being made possible by cryptocurrencies. Mozilla can follow Brave's path and "pay" clients in cryptocurrency for viewing ads (although I am not sure this is in line with Mozilla's interests or goals or even ethics).

This might be able to create a new incentive layer for the web. Most users really don't care about their browser (you'd be surprised how many downloaded Chrome because it was just "simpler" than Explorer and stuck with it for no prominent reason). Introducing an incentive to use Firefox might tilt the choice (why not use a browser that pays me a few bucks - which I will put back in the web).

I'll stop at this.
> Lisp code can be arbitrarily complicated to read due to arbitrarily complicated macros.

Lisp code can be arbitrarily simpler to read due to nice macros.

> This is frequently blamed for Lisp's continuing failure to take off.

This is largely a meme spread by people who have never developed in Lisp.

The relative lack of popularity is discussed in Lisp communities, but that particular hypothesis isn't taken seriously, if it comes up at all.
That was more than I bargained for; I usually don't have the attention span for an hour-long read on the internet, but it kept me engaged.
> What Roth didn't say but could have was that while Updike's best sentences may have been better than Roth's, he also wrote many more bad ones.

That sounds right. The author could have added that most of Updike's best sentences are in his stories, not his novels.
Quality has gone down. Some of it due to “freshness” bias. Some due to content farms. And now we have more explicit search results squelching.

I used to have some favorite sites with different things, some recipes, some other technical things. I can’t surface those results anymore. They are buried by all sorts of uninteresting results.
Sounds like a genuine question, so I'll give a genuine answer:

I'm a very busy person at work. The amount of daily cognitive load I dedicate to pronouns there is essentially zero because it never comes up. The only time it becomes nonzero is when someone else who thinks it's vitally important brings it up, which is pretty much always memegen or some other internal forum where political advocacy creeps in. If someone were to ever ask me, "Hey, can you call me 'she' instead" I'd have no problem doing so. It's just common courtesy and most of my job at Google involves building and maintaining relationships. But I don't go out of my way to list people's pronouns next to their userids in design docs, or have a section in every presentation on pronouns in order to signal that I'm woke. Just like if someone pointed out that he goes by a middle name, I'd call them that because that's what they prefer, but I'm not going to ask everyone I meet if they go by a middle name or some other name.

As engineers we consider rare edge cases in our designs but typically do not build our solutions around them.

The difference between pronouns and first-names is that nobody is out there searching for instances where I inadvertently called someone by their first name so that they can go into outrage mode, call me out and shame me for it.

When I say some people don't "buy into the whole pronouns thing", I mean they are indifferent to it--they don't think about it every day, they don't consider it some vitally important cause that the company must urgently dedicate resources and collective cognitive load to.
There is no way people would give up owning their own car outside of very dense urban centers. Everywhere else it would neither be practical nor desirable to wait for a rental car to arrive.

I think that’s what I was looking for, thank you so much! I hope not much has changed since when it was written…
I’m actually currently getting a POC built out for a note taking web app that’s entirely focused on capturing/tagging/filtering, because of these exact reasons. The idea of folders in all note taking apps is just not efficient, and doesn’t leverage the power of searching and filtering solutions.

My app is intended for multi tasking individuals.

> Thinking that library catalogs exist to organize concepts confuses the container for the thing contained.

It may be a nice line, but it's wrong: thinking that they don't confuses nature of the thing for purpose of the thing.

Alternatively take photos with a normal camera and then with the same camera with a coloured filter. Choose the filter so that it only partially interferes with each colour of sensor (magenta should work well). Then the two images have six independent colour channels between them.
> Do you really think Google doesn't let men go for low performance? I saw that happen many times.

Cool, you should sue. The SJW women are suing alleging Google has been discriminating against them: https://googlegendercase.com/ Are you going to let the SJWs win? It sounds like you have an open-and-shut case, from what you're claiming.

> Feminists would utterly lose it.

Again, that's not what's under dispute. What is being claimed is that Googlers have no reason to doubt that every person there met the hiring bar. Even in your scenario, that would still be true. Even if Google refrained entirely from hiring white men - which, yes, would be illegal - they could still enforce the hiring bar.
One example that comes to mind is the "string by default" approach of HTML, Markdown, etc.

Another example would be "no strings at all", like WebAssembly with only integers and floats.

I'd say neither fits the description of enabling expressive data structures or being more readable.
Sorry I have to chime in, because there is also my very own nntp server with also a web interface for people who don't want to download a client: https://in.memory.of.e.tern.al/comp.misc/

There were a few reasons for this. The original golang version of docker required root, full stop. There was no difference between the client and server.

The first reason was to reduce privileges of the client interface. This would provide the possibility to reduce privileges and restrict what unprivileged could do later on. The communication over the socket is just http, which allows for remote management of docker containers.

A second reason was to build a strong contact between the client and server. The client became syntactic sugar for the rest calls, which helped stabilize docker. This would ultimately lead to enabling osx and win support via a VM on the host.

Another major goal was to enable the docker in docker use case which helped significantly when developing on docker itself.

I think what bothers me most about this kind of paid fluff is that it fools the viewer into thinking they've learned something worthwhile, when they've only seen something pleasant. Another poster linked to a brief Wikipedia article, and even it mentioned that the technology is nowhere near ready, citing erosion by atomic oxygen as one concern.

What we have here is a glossed-up version of the simple observations that spinning things spin, and "rolling" things move faster at the top than at the bottom. The rest has been left as an exercise for the reader's active and uninformed imagination. Don't fall for it.

FWIW, my guess is that exactly 0 tethers as described in the video will ever play an important role in getting humans into space, for various reasons of various veracity. But it's all guesswork, which is all any of us have. Oh, and sign up for Brilliant.com.
Why don't you just get one of the engineers at your company or one of their friends to do it then? Fiverr, upwork, etc are all pretty bad. Toptal can be okay, but you pay for that.

Most Devs/ Engineers hang out in chats/ forums too ... you should be able to ask the team at work where to find someone.

Fair point, that would indeed be a problem.

This part of the video alludes to what I'm getting at. Granted, they are using a moon as the weighted object, so rotation wouldn't be affected by hook events.

I wonder how massive the weighted object would have to be to make rotation changes negligible, or at least manageable.
> For example, the chauffeur could bring the kids to soccer practice and back or drive a friend home and then return to the house. They could even pick up groceries and make a Target run to simulate a driverless car future where items could get bought online and loaded into your AV by a store employee before returning home.

The survey measured the additional faux-SDC trips, but did it also measure the trips that did not need to happen as a result of this?

Would the friend have taken an Uber home? Would the study participant have just driven their own kids to soccer practice or driven themselves to Target? Some of these trips probably would not have happened, but surely at least some of them would have happened, just in a different car or with the car owner doing the driving.

They've already acknowledged the study is imperfect, but I think this is an important question to consider when interpreting the data.

Another issue is that this study simulates what happens when one person has access to a SDC but all their friends do not. If all my friends have SDCs too, they won't usually need to borrow mine. The friend is likely to take use their own SDC to get to my place and ride home in it, so that wouldn't count against my SDC's ride total.

You got it wrong. What I listed is NOT what church goers pay for with their "church tax". It is paid by the State from the tax paid by ALL tax payers in the country, be their religious or not (like me).
AND: The entire sum (e.g. for tax evations granted to the churches by the state) is 20.6 billion (yes, 20,600,000,000) €/year!
But … they take care of our children in Kindergartens (2% paid by the church, the rest by the tax payers) with so much love and devotion, you know … maybe I should think: It's worth it. But I can't.
Sure, but you still end up with area that is critical and shared and doesn't yield to this strategy, and you also end up with defects that are bad enough that you still can't employ a wafer with portions turned off.

So, someone like Cerebras has to both make as little critical as possible and buy much more expensive wafers with lower defect rates and still get only moderate yields.

A Better Way to Support 20% Projects
My friends family owns a family of elephants.

I grew up in Sri Lanka, and apart from the lack of coconuts in a house disqualifies it as a house, owning an elephant signaled how prestigious the house was.

Even nowadays, there are still families, temples, and governor houses that own elephants. They are brought together to a big festival we have in my former city, Kandy. More than a 100 of them, easily. They are well treated; they are fed, and many vets take care of their health as well. At the same.time, it's not unheard of the elephants attacking humans when panicked. They live their entire life alongside humans, and in a heartbeat, they get panicked and attack everyone around them.

I have come to my personal belief that leaving enough distance with them is the best way to help out. They are smart animal beings that can manage to live in the wilderness, and pretty much every elephant death we hear in Sri Lanka involves either a train hitting one, some asshole shooting one, or some asshole owning one and not taking care of them.

It's not possible to put a price on their lives of course, but if anyone is interested in how much it would have cost them, a small 5-6 year old elephant is about $15K.
"Let's say I want to build a cross-platform app. I could use Electron (it's somewhat of a known quantity), or I could start doing some research into what else is available, and then evaluate the various offerings - not only to ensure they do what I need, but to also ensure that they use less power/resources than Electron. The effort here is (at least some kind of) unavoidable up-front cost/time."

Yup that's right. Any sign of inconvenience and efficiency be damned. Why do we even bother trying to fix environment. This cost money and inconveniences so many people.

Also it depends on your background. I have no problem doing without Electron. I would have to apply your exact logic to even look at it.
