The fact that the hellfire missile was designed to destroy tanks doesn’t make it an effective weapon against soft targets.

In fact the anti-tank (HEAT) warhead would not do that much damage to a car and unless you would be directly under it you’ll be able to walk off from it as the tandem charge doesn’t do much damage when it doesn’t hit hardened armor.

The warhead in question in the video is likely a MAC (thermobaric charge) or a fragmentation warhead which were designed to hit soft targets and kill personnel.

The hellfire also has DIME warheads which use metal powder instead of larger shrapnel to reduce collateral damage as well as kinetic warheads as shown in the article.
If you ever bump into this person again please consider suggesting this. If they don't feel comfortable releasing it to the public directly, there should be contacts at archive.org that would help releasing it anonymously.

GCP charges ~$0.60/hour for the GPU/CPU/MEM equivalent in colab. If bandwidth is costing 10k per day, how much is the free colab compute costing Google?
That's been on old reddit for years before the redesign and is opt out if you log in.
My guess is that it wasn’t a HEAT warhead but a fragmentation or a MAC warhead, the HEAT warhead was designed to defeat armor it isn’t effective against soft targets.

Growing up in Toronto, I used to watch the show Mighty Machines[0]. I loved it - it would show construction vehicles and airplanes, and I ogled at it for hours. I can still remember the theme song. Makes me so very happy right now remembering it.

Same question to you: Should I feel differently if foreign countries fire a cannon, flies a plane and drop a bomb, or shoots a sniper rifle vs a drone strike? I don't want any of that, but if, for example, Putin decided he wanted to assassinate a Russian defector in the US, I'd rather he do it with a precision drone strike than a car bomb, or dispersing some poison that might affect bystanders.

It's like suggesting laser guided bombs are worse than unguided bombs.

If agree in theory, but I'd like to disagree with some assumptions. AI devs don't necessarily have experience with efficient network infrastructure. (And ops people with AI development)

You can't just "buy servers for the same price". Where are you going to put them? How are you going to power them? How is the bandwidth for them provisioned? At some scale these are non-trivial questions - you can't just buy a rack, stick it next to your desk and plug into an extension cord.

The system deployment is something you need to spend time on as well. Bare metal provisioning and deployment of GPU libraries to make things run smoothly takes time.

And finally when the hype dies down in a week or two, what are you going to do with that infrastructure?

Cloud services are not trivial either. But they do have some advantages.
That special case isn't specifically for strings - you can also compare arrays, channels and structs that way (as long as the array/struct doesn't contain anything non-comparable). Unfortunately it's a rarer footgun though since it can panic when comparing interfaces :(

well, if you call a MacMini 2008 "cutting edge hardware"...For Apple it was dead back to MacOS 10.7, but it works awesomely with Manjaro Linux 32 bit

I've been using Manjaro Linux since 2013 for personal and production usage, on new or old hardware. It simply flies.. The Xfce variant needs only 300MB of RAM, while Gnome and KDE are hungrier.

I've had multiple problems with Mint/Ubuntu/Debian, especially with nvidia drivers and kernel updates, lately also with kernel 5.3.0

I would consider it Tesla’s and Musk’s ultimate success if/when the whole auto industry moved away from internal combustion engine. iirc this is how musk defines his own success as well.
My reason for buying them wasn't mentioned as far as I saw--I like them better.
On page 18, 36 and 37 this paper is talking about time horizons of a few seconds to about a month. Over that time horizon the market is going to be behaving much more like a casino than a weighing machine and the people who make money are presumably those who move quickly or know something others don't.

I suppose it seems implausible to me that something on arxiv is going to secure an actual advantage over other traders or reliably deduce knowledge that isn't public. Statistics can sometimes seem like magic but it can't do the impossible. Notwithstanding that this topic is interesting, is there any reason to think that these models are valuable in practice?
Yes, Manjaro is first timers user-friendly, since you can manage everything graphically and kernel updates have never been so easy to update (along with drivers).

There are also LTS Kernels, plus a huge selection of software. Definitively an alternative to Ubuntu/Mint, check distrowatch.com

One would need to read the install.sh base file to know where to copy the model from the torrent into. and then manually install the other dependencies. If someone could make a friendlier version or at least better instructions more people would give it a try.
This assumes the backend teams are even ready to offer HTTP/2 for us. For some reason or another, we're stuck at HTTP/1.1 since we are fronted by a certain CDN provider and our process for change management in that tool is skittish, since the rules grew organically and making changes is now tough.
I believe I read something on HN months ago that claimed Google would force failures on otherwise successful captchas. Little bit of gas-lighting if true.

I regularly get to:

5. Resignedly click on “Use mobile app” because reddit.com is basically unusable on a small-screen iPhone.

6. App Store opens at the Reddit app page. I already have the Reddit app installed and, often, open. But reddit.com never sends me there. It always sends me to the App Store to download an app I already have.

The distinction between String and int in Java is not explicit, certainly not to a beginner; maybe other classes are because you have to create them with new, but it's not obvious that string literals result in a different kind of thing with different rules than integer literals.

Regardless, none of that changes the fact that it's a bad design decision, because people regularly get it wrong.
More data = better prediction.

If you have a million users you can get few data per user but lots of data in total.

If you have 100 users you can get a lot of data on each one by direct contact
It is only Turing complete if you allow new rules. Usually a client would only be allowed to formulate query goals.

In that sense, GraphQL is Turing complete as well, as the underlying implementation could just simulate a Turing machine.
I cannot stand brightly white paper - i had some books with it as a child and it was basically impossible to read in sun - contrast was blinding... it didn't help that some of those books had glossy paper.

The only example of such a service I remember ever using is a German/European payment provider that offers immediate yet almost-free bank transfers.

That service cannot run in the browser because its specific purpose is to run the transaction themselves. Not trusting the user is basically the reason they exist.
He created as much of a scandal as an ordinary person possibly can make. People definitely noticed.
I think it's that books, particularly hard backs, are in a pseudo-artwork/collectible category. There are times I've liked a paperback so much I bought the hard back and never opened it, just to have the "pretty" version on the shelf.
Price differentiation. Well known theory in economics. It's like asking why do ppl still release movies in cinemas.
I would agree, but somehow ebooks cost same or more than paperback books... and they also come full of DRM.

Not to mention licensing nightmares - i wanted to buy one ebook in english.. and i couldn't because someone else had rights to distribution in UK, so i couldn't order US ebook as i was from europe. To make matters worse - UK publisher/rightholder/whatever had no plans to even release an ebook.
This is an example of the sort of cases in which I worry that experts become clouded by zealotry; I think it's more likely that a generalist-at-a-distance will poke the right holes in the methodology of these kinds of studies.

One hears stories about researchers with unspent grant money scrambling madly to find something, anything, to spend it on before the grant expires. Use it or lose it.

My Dad told me how back in the 1970s he worked at a government-funded research lab. One time they called up a laboratory glassware supplier and said "We'd like to order $10,000 worth of glassware". The supplier asked "Sure, what specifically would you like to order?" The lab replied "We don't care, whatever you have in stock, so long as it costs us $10,000 and we pay you today – if we don't spend the money today we lose it forever".
Throughout human history, ~10% of humans have been killed by other humans. You even see the same in many ape populations.

I'm not even sure we have the power to change that.

Having said that, the percentage has perhaps been the lowest ever in the past century (neither world war was that deadly), so maybe we're making progress towards your goal.
Yes, the German consulate will likely have an office or at least some way of contact. You may also need to report the loss to the police - so do that first to avoid wasting time.

It's not clear to me that GraphQL and Datalog solve the same problems. GraphQL, to me, is fundamentally about designing the interface between a client and server, decoupled from the logic that satisfies requests. I think it's actually not a query language at all, any more than HTTP is a query language. Datalog is very much a query engine. And it's not super clear to me that the services exposed by a server map cleanly to a logic model. GraphQL requires no such purity.
With regards to the rent: yes, the rent might rise somewhat over time, but not to completely fill that wage gap. There are so many other things influencing rent and economics, so I don't see that as a probable consequence. Also, giving the poor better wages might increase some of their costs (like fast food), but it will move their personal economy closer to more expensive things they might need occasionally, like new appliances etc, which are currently a huge source of headache.

As for the maneuverability on raising wages, that's what a minimum wage would be for. No need for companies to let the competition ahead of them because they increase the wages - everybody else would have to do the same.

Is it? People seem to be paying on time and aware of their spending habits as a result. I do wonder what the advantage is for using credit in China.

In the U.S. it offers another layer of security, flexibility, builds credit, and earns rewards compared to using debit or cash, and is interest free as long as you pay on time.
My impression is that gcc produces smaller code that is roughly comparable with clang in terms of runtime performance (with a slight advantage when compiling the codebase I care about the most). Gcc has better debug info, especially when optimizing. I don't know about compile speeds. Clang has better infrastructure for writing static analysis tools. Clang is a much more realistic alternative to msvc on windows than gcc is. I don't know about their development velocities. Clang seems to have the edge in mindshare.

I'd be curious to know whether this would provide cross-language outlining during LTO using gcc. I believe some form of this is possible with llvm?
Good for you? I didn't originally write most of the code I have to work with. Just like intel doesn't write the code that depends on MKL.

I also think the notion that Tesla is going to go away over night when Volkswagen “gets there” is nonsense.

Homework:

1. Use an infotainment system from an “old guard” car maker.
2. Use Android Auto, CarPlay or the Tesla dash.
3. Repeat 1.

So much of the experience of your car is terrible because it’s an afterthought to these companies. They hire people to tick a box at the least expense possible.

I drive a Nissan Leaf. The build quality is pretty good. The battery life isn’t spectacular but it wasn’t particularly expensive either, and it’s all I need...

But it’s no Tesla.

How come, given that currently C++ has three years to release a new standard and then about the same until the latest release gets spread around all major compilers?

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support

Right now with C++20 around the corner, C++14 is still the safest bet for portable code, whereas in Rust we still see relevant crates that depend on nightly.
I suppose not. Jsn has some unique features that have just developed over time, starting as json with comments and no need for quotes.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will check it out.
Agreed. The majority of my Reddit browsing is done on a handful of niche subs, I rarely go on any of the "front page" subreddits. As much as I enjoyed using multiple phpBB sites in the past, having a platform where I can easily find these niche groups and aggregate their content is the killer feature for me.

However, I feel like there is some upper limit to the number of users a group has before content starts going downhill. So perhaps it's a double-edged sword.
From the perspective of someone on earth, the sun would be around one pixel too, which I think is an amazing feature/coincidence.

There is a name for this kind of relative size, but I forgot how it is called.
Interesting, could you expand a bit? From what I have seem the proposal for Java seems useful.
I think the key architectural mistep is putting a colab session per user session. A fix is having the user call out to an service API, which, behind the scenes, is executed on a pool of colabs with reuse. I don't know of any technology to make that easy though. The symptom that could of been a trigger for cost investigations were the long startup times.

Canadian taxes were/are simplified, APIs exist to login and fetch T4s and other services, and while it could be simplified further (particularly for corporate taxes and provincial incorporation, PEPPOL E-Invoicing and open banking legislation, etc.), the current state of things in Canada is pretty straightforward, including a relatively open program so developers can write and validate their independent tax software with the CRA. By comparison, when similar simplifications were attempted in the US, they generally failed due to lobbying efforts from Intuit and others. And my understanding is that in Canada, provinces try to harmonize more with the CRA, with the exception of Quebec primarily, while in the US states create many different tax situations, in part because there are more U.S. states than Canadian provinces.

I am so sick and tired of the muscle analogy (not criticizing you, but the general usage)! Almost always when I see it used, it is to describe a situation where we know almost _nothing_ about the fundamental phenomena! So any so-called similarity is 100 % speculative.

I'd consider "it is like a muscle" a red flag when reading news/science.
Anecdotal I know, but I have definitely experienced this.
Yes, of course. Unfortunately, as a consultant, you don't always have the necessary influence to change boundary conditions.
I think the only reason they have an app is, that it makes it easier to extract user data. If the app just was “another” choice, without any advantage for reddit, they wouldn’t display a huge and annoying hint to download the app with every page visit.

Many modern webpages are data extraction machines, which is why things got worse in many places. The design is still functional but the main function changed — where it was previously focused on the user and the content it is now clearly all about analytics and ads.

I’d like to say I can’t blame them, because the money needs to come from somewhere, but I am not sure if this is the long term sustainable decision they will praise themselves for when they look back onto things in a decade.

This is literally how most electricity is charged. I’ve been in probably 30+ non European countries and it is frequently billed this way. Potable water is usually the same. Residential users rarely exceed the standard allowance so they never come across tiered pricing.

In fact most larger cities not only have tier pricing but also peak pricing inside tier levels.

Commercial and industrial is its own game, they have tiers and on/off peak charges along with load shedding requirements. Often it’s billed not just kWh but also peak amperage draw.

Edit: by load shedding I mean commercial/industrial end users often have to be able to accept incoming excess power from the grid that residential use isn’t consuming due to weather/events grid failures etc. Power grids are immensely complex and very interesting beasts.
