Put the phone away & magically there is time in the day. People have a lot more time than they're aware of but fill it by normally numbing out.
That makes sense to me, my dog will eat until full, sometimes if she manages to find some scraps she won’t finish her dry food (we give her 3/4 cup day and night).

Curious about the dog binging on wet food, how much are you making available?
Some US companies partially do this in Ireland, I've heard anecdotally, where salaries are also much below the US. It's a much smaller market obviously, but it does happen.
Glad someone noticed. If everyone is getting $1000/month, that becomes the new $0/month. Basic necessities, especially rent, will jump in cost; a low-end landlord will know everyone there has another $1000/month to spend, as does everyone looking for an apartment, so rent will jump because if one renter doesn't want to pay more there will be someone else who can. Of course economic complexities will affect this, but that's the short version.

"Supply and demand" is an absolute economic law. Anyone trying to distort that (say, redistributing taxes so all get $1000/month) finds out the hard way. If S&D is not directly addressed in your pet socioeconomic proposal, implementation will fail.
No mention of Smalltalk in the comments? The "codebase" that is managed by ucm sounds very similar to Smalltalk images. I am personally delighted about this.
Well, I don't think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error.

Seriously though, the author of the article seems to be under the impression HAL made a mistake, but that's not the case. We know from the novel and from the 2010 sequel exactly why HAL did what it did, and under the circumstances HAL's actions were inevitable. It followed it's instructions and operating criteria precisely, it's just that the people giving it those instructions didn't realise what they were doing, and didn't confer with people who were qualified to understand the consequences. It really was human error, that's the point Clarke was making.
Not if you set the Domain attribute of the cookie properly, this is a poor software problem, not second-level domain problem.
No, take Reason as an example: it is basically Ocaml. Despite having a C-like syntax, it is quite different from it. The syntax barrier is usually much smaller than the language itself.
The greatest irony of all is that this quote doesn't impugn the quality of the 737 MAX in the slightest. It's entirely about the simulator--which isn't implicated in the MAX disaster since the pilots were not being retrained for it (i.e., using the simulator).
That second sentence dude. You want some one to talk to? Or need help with something?
> leads to accumulating less meaningful relationships

This assumption is based on what?
there is no space for gaming to evolve at the moment without VR. The only thing that next generation consoles are bringing to the table is more advanced graphics. VR offers a truly innovative space for gaming to move into and whilst its not there yet in terms of hardware and software, I can see it being 'the future' as it were.

Obviously, we're still at very early stages with this tech. It's silly to compare it with smartphones and PCs, since it's a very different class of product. There are some barriers for entry but, as I said they will eventually get ironed out. The price of a full set with a fidelity grade matching the current high end sets shouldn't exceed the price of a games console in a few years.

There has definitely been a huge increase in interest with titles like Boneworks and the upcoming HL Alyx. The Valve index has been sold out almost instantly and there's reportedly a huge backlog of pre-orders for it.
They are not the same thing!

https://familydoctor.org/advance-directives-and-do-not-resus...

An advanced directive is a legal document indicating a person's preferences and transferring legal authority. A DNR is an order to medical personnel for emergency situations. Only the DNR is effectively binding on medical personnel in such situations because they can't be expected to know of all legal documents.

Advanced directives can include DNRs, and will often do so for patients who have a bad prognosis. But healthy people do not normally include DNRs in their advanced directive!

What amazes me is that the same thing is happening with Tesla, but HN hardly bats an eye, because Silicon Valley:

Engineers speaking up and getting fired or resigning. What's worse is that, as opposed to having a choice to fly on a 737 MAX, driving on autopilot on public roads puts other people at risk.
Yes, you need to understand a bit of APL to grok the style, but I don't know why it bothers people so much. I'm guessing because it involves people actually using the macro system for something interesting. Somehow lisp gets a pass.

Personally I think stuff like the DO macro (F/Fj in this code base https://bitbucket.org/ngn/k/src/master/k.h) should be used everywhere to the extent it is part of the C standard. If compilers were aware of it, there are significant optimizations which could be made. It's dirt simple and saves considerable typing and eliminates lots of potential for error.

I don't think I'm seeing anything wrong and you've only reinforced my point. You replaced a car with one that is over three times the price. Go ahead and compare the vehicles but it's not much of a comparison if you don't include that fact. What kills me about people that promote Tesla is how completely oblivious they are to how unique their situation is and how outside of the norm they are. I have a very high household income, probably in the top %3, and even I know most people don't just drop $68k for a car.

I want to say something I find interesting about Tesla owners. They seem to have a persecution complex where they think every diesel pickup truck is out to coal roll them and those nasty ICE owners are out to key their car the first chance they get. I think it comes from how condescending they know they are with the, "They hate us because they know we're the future" to the "their dirty, stinking, smelly ICE vehicles". And it doesn't take very much to go from, "You're care is dirty, disgusting, and filthy", to "You're dirty, disgusting and filthy". It's the ultimate in hating someone because they're poor. You're dirty, disgusting and filthy and if you don't want to be that way you should drop the extra $40k for a new car like I did.

The sad truth is most people driving either don't think about you at all in your Tesla or if they do think about you probably think, "I wish I had that kind of money, it's kind of neat".
Almost every city in the US has a GIS system which you can use to look up tax record ownership of property parcels. Sales history too even. This information is also available via FOIA requests. There's probably easy ways to scrape it out considering almost every city uses the same 2-3 GIS software systems. In the case of home ownership, the only choice you have for privacy is to register an LLC under a paid attorney as a proxy, and have the LLC buy the home. And even then you may run into issues trying to file for homestead exemption property taxes. You're not able to tell the city to unlist your property info in most cases.
My small understanding is that the "(or any other)" part is not correct in your statement, and that you are locked into thinking of version control as being git-like.

I think the implication is that version control is not git like, and that it's not that we both changed the text on line 17, rather we both made additions to the underlying structure.

Indeed, it's impossible for us to both edit the same file, because files are never modified. They are immutable, like a blockchain transaction.

I haven't quite understood how it works in practice, though, but definitely don't think "git".
Yes. RAIDz (without the "1") was the original RAID5-equivalent, RAIDz2 is equivalent to RAID6. However since nobody really knows what the hell z1 and z2 is and z1 is easy to mix up with RAID1 for nonZFS people, calling it z5 and z6 is far less confusing.
Very cool. Glad to see someone tackling the idea I first saw brought up by Joe Armstrong[0]. When I read his post it made so much sense, I was hoping I'd get to see someone try it.

> I doubt strapping the headset on is anywhere near the top

For me personally, a side effect of that is the reason I'm not excited about VR: it's anti-social. I'm shutting myself off from anyone else in my apartment in a way a normal video game doesn't do. It makes me way, way less excited about the potential of VR.
Actually, this is very feasible by overprovisioning to get enough padding to use the approach described in Section 5.3 of [0]. That way you get a really fast fast-path.

This is a really interesting application of differential geometry in machine learning! And the allusion at the end to having the system eventually learn the symmetries of the system and make sure of that is really interesting. All the examples they gave were very physical, like climate models, but I imagine you could find symmetries in much more abstract problems that may not be intuitive.

This article seems to have a major factual error. YAML does support “Repetition” with anchors. Am I missing something?
"Sharks and rays do contain both rod and cone photoreceptors; however rays possess two cone opsin genes whereas sharks have only one cone. Sharks therefore were found to have lost the ability to see colors."

Surely if you have both rods and one type of cone, you do still have some degree of colour vision, from the difference between the rod and cone response curves? Either the rods and cones both respond (one end of a colour spectrum), or just the rods respond (other end of the spectrum), and colours in between can be distinguished to some degree by the relative differences as the cone response progressively drops off.
The ability to read this includes the ability to read "some standard C programming style", and it's for that reason I find charity challenging.

Rez Infinite was, alone, enough to sell me on having a VR headset. But Rez Infinite and maybe Tetris Effect were the only applications so far to really hold my interest in VR also.
This read alot to me like the 1950s "kitchen of the future" advertisements that used to be in magazines. Our perception of the future is our present projected into our imagination. Humans prove to stay human, connected to nature and the world without being human-digital cyborgs.

I spend alot of time trying to envisage what I think the information aggregation "tool" of the future is/will be. A watch? Glasses? An AI assistant chip in our earlobe? Whoever thinks of that will be an interesting fellow.
I can never let a thread about BeOS go by without adding my two cents, because I also worked at Be in Menlo Park, back in the day. (I went down with the ship and got laid off as they went out of business.)

I was sore about it at the time, but I agree that Apple made the right decision by choosing NextStep over BeOS. If for no other reason, because that's what brought Jobs back. It's hard to imagine Apple making their stunning comeback without him.
The article lost me at

> Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Sam Harris, and many other leading AI researchers have sounded the alarm: ...

With all due respect (and as a theoretical physicist myself I have immense respect for Hawking at least), none of these are “leading AI researchers”. They are pundits, celebrities even. If you want to appeal to the authority of leading AI researchers, at least cite one actual leading AI researcher, or you come off as someone who has read too much tabloid.

> It's easier, cheaper and faster to setup a DAO than an international foundation, especially regarding registration, opening bank accounts and international members. Important questions such as "which jurisdiction to register the organization in" or "who manages the bank account" becomes irrelevant in a DAO.

I never understood these arguments. People do not live in an abstract space outside existing social and economical structures. If one way or another, this DAO thing turns into an actor paying wages, the related laws will apply in some juridiction.

Now, what you might say is these questions become irrelevant for the structure creating the DAO, and are instead left to be solved by those receiving the benefit. It sounds dubious at best.
As someone that lives in a "small nyc apartment" I'd say the blanket statement around vr and small spaces doesn't hold.

There's potential for extremely immersive experiences even in the Vive's smallest play area. Right now, as I see it, the bigger barriers to VR adpoption are cost of equipment and social norms. Right now VR tends to be an isolating experience, and there aren't a lot of experiences that allow for VR and non VR people to interact, let alone have multiple participants in the same space.
This is an interesting project! But I wonder how it handles custom kubernetes extensions.

Indeed. Another thing consider is if someone blows the whistle it could leave all of their coworkers without jobs. Men and women with families, mortgages, bills and lives. That is a lot of guilt and a very heavy decision to make, especially when there is no consequence in sight. Now that hundreds of people have died as a result that guilt has waned.

This is what gets overlooked in these stories. Most failures have at least a few of these.

My biggest issue with onenote is that you can no longer use local notebooks with the new versions. I'm stuck on onenote 2016 or all my local notebooks become read only.

I dunno, I feel like there's inaccurate and very inaccurate. The Withings does detect my sleep times but it can vary by up to an hour, and it doesn't detect when I wake up for ~15 mins then fall back asleep.

I'm looking at the Dreem and SmartSleep headbands right now. Can you tell me more about them? They both claim to "improve sleep" but their marketing site doesn't really say how.

Keep in mind that all I want in the end is to have the numbers of when I was asleep, and when I was not. My goal being to have a graph of those numbers to see when I actually sleep. (eg. how much do my sleep times drift every day, how much do i sleep per week, etc)

Edit: Actually, the Dreem looks a lot closer to what I want. My main problem with it is I wouldn't be wearing it constantly, so it wouldn't catch a powernap unless I both carry it with me, and remember to take it with me. Nethertheless, shoot me your referral code, I may end up buying it.

> AI systems offer the disconcerting possibility that at some point the designers will start explicitly disclaiming fore-knowledge and therefore responsibility for what the system is doing. Nontransparent neural networks are a particularly awkward problem here.

Exactly my point. When there is a black-boxed AI involved an engineer (as of now) cannot precisely determine whether it functions properly (according to specifications, from which safety rules are derived) or not. So, the monitoring technology is not as advanced as it should be to let black-boxed AIs handle important functions. So, until any AI is not as competent as we are, we should not employ black-boxed AI in algorithms at all, because it is irresponsible (before the law, as consequence). We cannot say it (the AI) is responsible for odd behavior, when we programmed/trained it that way. Same goes for children, parents are responsible for their children. Gross negligence (like letting the kid skipping school repeatedly) is punishable before the law, and parents are responsible, not the child.

Regardless of how we define each term, there's a notable difference between normal eating within constrained hours and unsustainable/varied patterns between days.
