Almost all languages are turning complete. The only questions is the syntax: convenience of writing it and how fast it runs on the machine (either/both compile time and run time)

When you have a syntax that you like for whatever reasons (including because you have a lot of legacy code written in it) it makes sense to extend the syntax where possible to make it more convenient if you can do so within the constraints of performance.

That would be great, except a large percentage of the country doesn’t make enough money to afford insurance. So they go to the ER (the most expensive form of care) and end up neck-deep in medical debt from routine health issues.

Even when you can afford it, an increasing number of doctors are refusing to accept insurance. These doctors tend to be more highly regarded and provide a higher standard of care because they’re not shackled to a computer doing insurance paperwork half the day.

So even with the system we have, insurance isn’t really worth it unless you have chronic health issues. This becomes a feedback loop of increasing prices and decreasing benefits for all but the most expensive patients.

Profit is a moral hazard in health care.
Less a prediction and more like a hope/wish:

I hope some worldwide conversation takes place over the structure of human society and our endgame.

We have too much crap that's not conductive to a pleasant experience for any sentient existence. Things that used to make sense or were necessary once are no longer so, or don't have to be:

• The need for everybody to "work."

• Survival-of-the-fittest mentality (e.g. no safety networks for people who fall on hard times.)

• Every nation maintaining their own army.

• The obligation to remain in relationships you do not enjoy.

• Repression of emotional and sexual expression.

• Mass breeding and slaughter of animals for consumption.

Ah, this is very different from how unions work in France (and, generally speaking, in the EU).

Some people are actually registered with an union but their challenge is to have people vote for them during compulsory elections for work councils.

Any employee can vite, and any employee can join a union. The mere fact of joining the union does not protect you form being fired (which by itself is very complicated in Europe where there are strong labour laws). The only people who are strongly protected are the ones who create a union, or are elected as a representative.

Well, babies start picking out objects within weeks or months after birth. And many birds and mammals are much faster than that. That's not a huge amount of data to learn something so abstract from scratch, especially given the limited bandwidth of our data acquisition.

Furthermore, for other kinds of human knowledge, the learning process is very rarely based on data. After the acquisition of language, we generally seem to learn much more by analogy and deduction than by purely analyzing data. The difference is evident, since we can often pick up facts with a single datapoint, even in small children in kindergarten.

Also, getting back to your point on how we start AI - if you try to take a neural network and throw 3D sensor data at it, and immediately start using its outputs to modify the environment those sensors are sensing, I suspect you will not get any meaningful amount of learning. You probably need a very complex model and set of initial weights to have any chance of learning something like 3D objects and their basic physics (weight, speed and hwo those affect their predicted position). I would at least bet that you wouldn't get anywhere near, say, kitten accuracy in one month of training.

Related to 3D objects vs 2D, I completely agree.

I just don't get how this company can have the kind of market cap it has. I greatly respect how hard an effort it all is and what Musk is trying to do. I still think a company must abide by certain standards or it is snake oil and investors should be wary.

It is also unacceptable how the NHTSA has overlooked the marketing of "autopilot" which is anything but. It looks like regulatory capture to me. It's stinky in there and people are dying because of it.

I hate how our government works--lobbyists can get preferential rules made like all the myriad different car seats parents must now purchase in order to be legally compliant. The little guy gets all the heat. On the other side, a billionaire can get away with manslaughter many times over while the regulators simply shrug and ignore the problem.

Don't start with the whole "the self-driving cars are safer than the average driver" bit because that isn't defensible logic. The tech is clearly alpha quality. The crashes aren't because of what the tech really is, the crashes are because the tech was marketed to people in a way that led them to believe something that isn't true. Snake oil, iow. Now we have idiots who think Teslas are self-driving when they are not.

The logic was straightforward and probably correct: Google has great tech but sucks (and has always sucked) at selling software to companies. A culture forged in an environment where your users are hundreds of millions of anonymous, low value individuals rather than e.g. a single CEO who will sign a $100M deal with you if he likes the cut of your jib means Google always under-valued relationship building.

The exception was their ad sales department, which under Nikesh Arora did develop a capability to build and sign large ad deals. But it took a long time because you didn't really need that for text ads, only for stuff like "rent the YouTube homepage for a day".

But for everything else they didn't really have it or care about it, institutionally.

Now look at Oracle. Weak tech, huge experience in high-touch enterprise sales. And say what you like about Oracle but they have an enormous customer base and are deeply entrenched for valid reasons. So combine Oracle's sales and relationship-oriented culture with Google's raw tech prowess and you have a potentially great combination.
> No, the system API of those systems is exposed in C, ObjC and C respectively.

This is incorrect. Microsoft doesn't have a C compiler, only a C++ compiler, so the lower level language on Windows is C++. Yet for application development, the application language is C#.

On Apple, the lowest level language is ObjC, and the application language is Swift. And on Android, its C + Kotlin.

Doing application development on, e.g., Android, using the C NDK, is pretty much unsupported, since the NDK is mostly undocumented, and changes often. The only stable API for application development is Java, or Kotlin.

I've lived in some places where you can find local-farmer markets, where you can get high quality locally sourced vegetables, fruit, diary, eggs, fish, etc. In some places they're cheaper than store-bought, in others they're competitively priced or more expensive. My point being that you don't always have to choose between the extremes of storebought v. self-grown.

Part of my family participates in a local collective that buys local produce directly from producers in bulk, and in such a way they get cheap produce and can offer good prices to producers (because the middle-man is cut out). You might have something like that where you live.
And how much money did you invest based on that thesis?
I love my Model 3.

Yes, its "luxury" is not up to the price. Sure, the customer service sucks. Yeah, repairs take a long time.

But for me, when I ride in a Tesla, I get a giddy feeling, like the first time I held an iPhone. You just know it's the future. There are so many radical, bold, and correct ideas. Every time I get a software update I'm a kid on Christmas morning. It is just such a fun experience, and for those of you who love to be on the bleeding edge, you'd probably love it too.

It's not a car for everyone but I get the same feeling about Tesla as I did about Apple when they came out with the iPhone. 8 years later and no company has managed to come up with a car that seriously competes with the 2012 Model S. Tesla was the first to market and remains the market leader. They've solidified their position in the minds of Americans. They have a grand vision and they're executing on it. This company is headed to the moon.
In the spirit of a bit of fun, Erlang can arguably make that claim. The processes are easy to view as objects, in the sense that I've often thought that when I read what Alan Kay said about objects, it often seems to be describing Erlang moreso than Smalltalk. But the language those objects are implemented in is functional.

(That said, if you read real Erlang code, despite being immutable and nominally functional, the code often is in practice simply imperative code where the code author has manually done the SSA rewrite. This is one of my major criticisms with the language. If you really try to program it functionally, it's quite a pain compared to Haskell.)

The description seems a bis disingenuous. There are are plenty of leftovers they just don't end up in a classic trash bin. I was hoping to read how they developed a method to serve perfectly sized portions or continuously adjust the size so there's no food thrown away. It's probably a holy grail in the restaurant industry.

In reality could operate without any trash pickup translates to compostable waste is composted, non-compostable waste is recycled, other waste is donated. Recycle and compost. Which is great but not really "no leftovers". Is recycling paper worse than composting it? Recycling glass worse than reusing it?

I have to admit I don't understand this one. Converting salt into soap? Are they talking about actual saponification of fats from leftover food or something else?
There will be _the_ data leak.

It's impossible to remotely validate who anyone is regardless of provided name, age, birth location, mothers maiden name, social security, previous address, contacts, fingerprints, retina scan, DNA profile ...

This will end the privacy debate because all personally identifiable data will be public knowledge. All private information (stored in the cloud) will be easily leaked due to _the_ data leak. Blackmail will be rampant.

It'll be common to have credit cards and loans taken out in your name. Companies will be inundated with bots and trolls creating accounts. Fintech and government will scramble to prop up the system of trust with government issued ID, which will then be leaked, collapsing the system completely.

The sheer amount of fraud causes a contraction in the availability of credit with impact on the scale of the credit crunch of 08.
Well, if that's the case, I can do you one better.
There are usually available chargers in my area as well. The problem is when, on one single route (such as Paris to the Alps where there is basically one or two reasonable routes) everybody drives exactly at the same time (which is the case during school vacation).

In that case there will be a queue for the chargers - even if there are as many of them as fuel pumps, the fact that you need to spend 30 min at it vs 3 minutes makes the whole "stop for recharge" very long, at least twice.
The reality is a lot of _us_ did, because we were trying to train the older generations some sensible internet habits.

> I feel like people who find headlines like this repulsive have never dealt with complex moral issues or taken a moral philosophy class.

I would go one step further. Most people don't have any unified framework at all for making moral decisions. It is mostly a disparate patchwork of religious parables, quotations from famous historical figures, and the laws/constitution of the country they live in. All mixed together with their "gut feelings" that ultimately decides which of the above sometimes contradictory principles should take precedence under a given scenario.

For instance, most people would read the above headline and declare that life is sacrosanct and should take precedence over greed every time. And then you ask them how they would morally justify spending $10k on travel expenses or eating out, when they can instead use that money to save a human life - and I've yet to hear someone give a good answer to that question.

I know philosophy students who have literally decided that "there's no such thing as morality", because figuring it out seems completely impossible. I think that's the wrong approach. As difficult and unappealing as it may seem, I think it behooves us to find and practice a consistent and comprehensive moral framework. The one I believe and endorse is Utilitarianism, as controversial as that may be. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but I at least hope they will try to find their own answer.

There are no legal requirements to make racist people attend "diversity training", that's not even defined in law.

Companies that have problematic employees solve that with management intervention or firings. Click-through or HR driven powerpoint fests have nothing to do with it.

But this attitude is telling. The vast majority of people are not racist. Actually in my own experience I never encountered someone being racist against blacks or other minorities in the workplace: only white people (e.g. by refusing to hire them into positions). Why is a company wasting time on mandatory training for everyone to rectify nearly non-existent problems?

I used to work at Google and back then it wasn't so big into this idpol stuff. Based on what I've read but also heard from the dwindling number of friends who haven't left yet (now down to only two), I would never return. I agree I'd feel unsafe in that environment, partly because idpol ridden workplaces tend to abuse terms like "racism" to mean anyone who isn't loudly and visibly loyal to idpol ideology ... people like Damore. And I don't think you can be loyal to an ideology and still maintain your self respect.

They were originally called Hi-Toro, and wanted something more friendly so became Amiga corp whilst they were still based in Los Gatos. No doubt they were aware of the Spanish meaning. Allegedly the fact it came before Apple and Atari alphabetically helped the choice.

After the joystick and joyboard (joyboard was also the source of why Amiga crashes are called Guru meditations) production died off, they were left with only Lorraine, so Amiga became the machine name too...
Of course they're estimates, you can't exactly plug a meter on every exhaust pipe in the country and take a reading every couple of days. And of course the methodology varies from one study to another. But modern estimates do account for things like types of power plants, typical personal (and public, and business/industrial) transportation usages etc.. It's not like the whole scientific world waited for us to discuss this on HN before figuring out that maybe 10 people who go to work by bike isn't quite the same as 10 people who drive a jeep to work.

There is less data available for China and therefore the estimates are likely wrong by a higher margin than the estimates for the US. But the figures do very much fit the demographics, economy and geography of China so I doubt that the margin is that high.
Employers pay the biggest source of income of our healthcare system through the zorgverzekeringswet. They pay around 6% on the income of their employees next to the income tax. Second biggest part are the private insurance companies that sell insurance for around €90 to €200 per month. The yearly deductible for all healthcare in the base package is €385 to €885, you can set this deductible yourself.

Dental and physiotherapy are separate from general healthcare and have their own insurances and payment structures. They are all privately owned facilities. I usually pay my physiotherapist around €40 for a 30 minute session so I don't need insurance for it. But if you have regular appointments it would make sense to get private insurance for it.

We don't have a lot of co-pay (eigen bijdrage). There are some parts in regard to post-natal care where a co-pay is required. Also on hearing aids, dentures, orthopaedic shoes, medicine and non-ambulance transportation to a health facility.

We also kill billions of animals a day for plants. Harvesting crops kills a lot of insects, small mammals, and reptiles. Most of them are so small that farmers never even notice, but those animals are dead all the same. So if you want to criticize meat eating then you'll have to find a better reason than just number of animal deaths.
