And none of those have high profit margins. So while the revenue may be good, the profit isn’t.

We know that Roku doesn’t make much of anything from hardware sells - the CEO said they aren’t trying to make a profit from the hardware, but ad sales and subscription revenue.

It uses FFMpeg vs Plexs proprietary transcoder. So, hardware/GPU transcoding can be done for free.

It also doesn't have the latest "free" stuff Plex has started adding in. Personally, I just want my movies or TV and that's it. If I want steaming or news, I'll go find it elsewhere.
I've never felt it was an unnatural API, but it can be hard to grok/remember. I was primarily using jq either to extract data from large JSON files or to concatenate a bunch of smaller JSON files into one, large file.

I think it can get a little weird as far as error handling goes, but I feel it's been pretty approachable.

Any ideas what subset of C this supports? Or is it fully C89/C99/C11 compliant?
For a coarse wildlife estimate like this, the range of uncertainty is probably about two orders of magnitude. So from 500 million "affected", the true range is 5-500 million or 50 million-5 billion, depending on who decided to truncate the range of uncertainty.

The conversion factor for "affected" to "killed"... I have no idea what it is, and there is contradictory intuition for its magnitude, so I don't want to trust any number until I see someone actually doing studies of wildfire mortality.
And comma ai deals with regulation by selling dashcams that can drive a car if the user installs hardware and opensource software.

I use open pilot for highway driving and love it. But Comma AI is intentionally making design decisions to get around regulation.
I agree yet at the same time I avoided it largely because it's a zero-redundancy setup and a desktop/laptop setup is fundamentally more reliable... and it allows the failure of one device to not involved panicked repairs. Plus I do like the ability to segregrate the devices by function, or use one device to repair the other device. Also I'm staggered by the price of these GPU adapters considering the often crap quality of the hardware.

Yet I wouldn't be surprised to see myself go this way in the future especially because my phone only becomes a more and more capable "Backup" every year.
Short-term demand seems to be shifting to Vietnam. This seems to have enabled a 'wait and see' approach re: China + tariffs. However, I'd question if Vietnam has enough long-term manufacturing capacity [1] [2] [3] to sustain the short-term advantage it seems to be currently enjoying.

Today, China has 16 of the world's 50 busiest ports, including Shenzhen at #3 (all as measured by 2018 TEU volume). [4] However, this is less indicative of capacity than it is of current demand / throughput.

Both countries could benefit from building more deep-water ports. China currently has two Panamax ports, with a third on the way. Vietnam has none and is building its first. The U.S., by comparison, has 42 by my count. [5]

> If you ran comma.ai in your car and had a serious crash, you could possibly be found criminally negligent.

I don't know that it's much different than using cruise-control and then having a serious crash. If there's criminal negligence when using cruise control, it's because you weren't aware-enough to shut it off when the conditions cruise-control is built for no longer applied; the mere fact of using cruise-control isn't criminally negligent, as long as you're "just waiting for it to slip up so you can take the wheel."

For that matter, the same is true of teaching a teenager to drive. There's no negligence to having them at the wheel if you're ready to supercede their bad driving at all times.

What's suddenly different, if the "thing that doesn't really know how to drive yet, but which you're ready to supercede the bad driving of" is an AI instead of a teenager?
I wonder how Iraq is going to respond to this? It seems like they've been pretty friendly with Iran lately, but now Iran is lobbing missiles at their country. For that matter, the U.S. lobbed missiles at their country too the other day. I can't imagine they're happy about two major powers lobbing missiles at each other in their territory, but I don't know what they can do to get them to stop in the short term. (Kicking them all out may be the long-term solution.)
You could well be right, maybe Iran’s air defences are on a par with Syria’s.

I’ve suddenly realised something important — I’m commenting on important issues based on nothing but information gleaned from probably equally ignorant comments posted somewhere else. Why the heck am I doing this? I’m no expert on Iranian military capabilities.

Why do we all feel compelled to pollute the Internet with our ill-informed speculation on important issues?

I feel like I should just quit commenting on anything outside the narrow areas in which I’m a proper expert, and so should everyone else.

The Mueller team (under inappropriate explicit pressure from the White House / DOJ) made a denial presumably because they wanted to be as careful as possible to preserve Michael Cohen’s and their own credibility for possible trial/etc., to avoid any impression they hadn’t dotted every i, and perhaps in part to appease the White House.

Any “inaccuracy” in Buzzfeed’s reporting was more or less based on a semantic dispute. Under a narrow definition, Trump didn’t “direct” Cohen to lie to Congress, he just suggested it using mob-boss-type language and coordinated the lying testimony through his other lawyers, and his longtime fixer Cohen knew how to read between the lines.

Immediately after Cohen’s lying testimony, one of Trump’s lawyers then called Cohen to congratulate him and tell him Trump was happy with his performance.

Buzzfeed stood (and still stands) behind their story, and the Mueller report and Cohen trial materials largely corroborate their reporting.

However, the Mueller team concluded that there is not enough direct evidence to e.g. indict Trump for suborning perjury in this case.

* * *

The people still selling the story that Buzzfeed completely screwed up and had their facts wrong are (hopefully unwittingly) peddling the same kind of disinformation that the article currently under discussion is talking about. There are some wealthy and powerful people trying to push this message down to further their own antisocial agendas for personal benefit.

As an aside, I didn't realise we had explicit laws for smoking:

Mum grew up on a wheat station (meaning: huge farm/ranch) and always said that the wheat fires moved pretty quickly, so I suppose that's where this law comes from.

then it's pretty hard to say that he's not motivated by the oil, innit?

> Is there a name for a process that is defined in a callback module?

I don't think there really is. Where I was working, we would just say this process is a gen_server (or whatever), as if it was a type of process, but this is more of an emergent property of the environment, than a named property. If enumerating the processes, you can guess a process is a gen_server based on erlang:process_info(initial_call, Pid), but that's not definitive because it could have started as something else, then used gen_server:enter_loop to become a gen_server, or started as a gen_server and then become something else.

Naming the behavior the same as the module, and including client apis and server and the behavior in the same module is legitimately confusing as well; although, all that being in the same place can be nice, too.
the software on arduino sucks, the hardware on the raspberry pi sucks.

If they could have a kid...

Arduino:

- crappy software environment, and no networking. (designed by hardware guys?)

+ wonderful hardware.

+ The pins are female and don't accidentally short on things.

+ There are a variety of devices available with the number of pins you need.

+ Powering the device is simple and straightforward.

+ Driving different types of hardware is easy.

Raspberry Pi:

- terrible hardware. (designed by software guys?)

- hard to power. Must be 5v, power supply must be carefully chosen, lots of limits.

- pins are male. who does this?

- hardware arbitrarily (capricously?) changed from release to relase (moved LEDs, etc..)

- hard to drive different hardware

+ software is wonderful.

+ you can run a variety of operating systems.

+ you can run really high level software (python, GUI, machine learning, compiler, web server, ... so much more)

+ networking (all the kinds)
It's simply an issue of respect. That's it.

"To electrocute" is a lot like "to hang" or "to bisect" or "to draw and quarter": it's a way to attempt to kill something. It doesn't necessarily succeed. You can be electrocuted successfully, or electrocuted unsuccessfully. Suffering an "electrocution injury" is like suffering a "hanging-related injury": it means that something tried to kill you, and you escaped less-than-fully dead. In legal terms, it's what causes someone to be charged with the crime of attempted murder.
That's trivially true in the sense that this is how we can only assume humans and animals came to be but I don't think there's any guarantee that this can be replicated in a silicon-based software architecture which is very different from analog and chemical biological organisms. Today already energy and computional costs are high with model computation cost going into five or six figures even in just one domain.

But more importantly, I think the problem with this approach is that it's essentially a hail mary of sorts with potentially zero scientific insight into how the brain and the mind works. It's a little bit like behaviourism before the cognitive revolution with AI models being the equivalent of a Skinner box.
Not to mention crazy conspiracy theorists calling the whole thing fake, we've had a few of those right here on HN. As if something of this magnitude can be made up.

I don't understand how a union would function in the video game industry. I don't work at a video game company myself, but I have some friends that do. The typical life-cycle of a video game is:

- A small group of developers work on the core physics engine, graphics engine, and high-level game design.

- When the core game engine is sufficiently developed, the number of artists and game designs greatly increases to generate the art, sound, and level designs for the game.

- As the game reaches an alpha stage, the number of QA testers is dramatically increased.

- After the game is released, almost all of the QA and art people are let go, with a small number retained to work on DLC. A core group of software developers will be kept to be begin work on the next game, and the cycle repeats.

How does a union function when much of the workforce is only going to work for the company for less than 2 years? Many QA testers work for less than year.
There's evidence my ancestors have not. sigh.

Daft Punk's Random Access Memories is mentioned in the article, and it really does have good dynamic range .. for the 2010's

But compared to an album like Spies 1988 Music of Espionage which has a dynamic range that used the most of the CD format (especially track 3 - "Interlude" -- listen for the drum hits at 0:39 after the organ chords), it just isn't (technically) comparable.

I have stopped buying older CDs off Amazon, switching to Discogs so that I can be sure to get an original pressing - made before it had been "remastered".
which is a shame since 2 definitely makes most logic sad.
The people who are consumers of these products are not necessarily software engineers, so no everyone cannot evaluate the quality of these products. Secondly, the models are not open source, and even if they were looking at them tells them nothing about the quality of the product.

The only way to actually access the quality of these products is through independent testing by a body that is qualified and reputable enough to do so. Which in my opinion should happen before even a single one of these devices is actually allowed to participate in regular traffic.

Not rogue. And I'm unsure if wave is the correct term. I think what they're implying is that when passing through a "fold" in the heliospheric current sheet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliospheric_current_sheet) the polarity flips. I presume that the tighter the fold, the less distance between the polarity change, the greater the induced current; tight enough and the polarity is different between two close points on earth, inducing a greater than normal current.

But I didn't pay enough attention in high school physics, so....

I think this is deliberate. It's also why you have to download and install the self driving software separately. AFAIK regulators stepped in and killed comma as a self driving solution, so this is their way of still going forward and trying to maintain plausible deniability. It might not pass muster in a court of law, I don't know, but it should probably keep the regulators off their back.
