Academia is easily bought, especially in Germany.

Also, HN is a hacker crowd with a particular axe to grind re: UI, since all the cool new UI shit makes insta-billionaires, or at least thats the dream.

Whereas with a SAP-using business, the computer isn't the product - the products that the computer allows the company to manufacture/distribute are the only thing that matters - and the SAP UI is intentionally set up by bean-counters.

Once you go SAP, like get into the SAP Zone, you can be quite productive - but like another poster said, SAP is like vim.

What does the current TESLA share prices have to do with the environment situation?

It's not like TESLA has some magic pixie dust that can save the world tomorrow. Environmental impact from current ICE cars is fairly small compared to the pollution caused by mass manufacturing with no recycling, heavy industry, coal burning, shipping, etc. People buying more Teslas are a drop in the ocean when it comes to saving the environment, like putting a band aid on a slit artery.

People buy TSLA because it makes them money and buy Teslas because they're nice cars. If they really wanted to save the environment, they would ride a bike.

We use Mojolicious specifically in order to avoid needless complexity inferred by Catalyst. Perl is ok for small to medium production systems but library support is quite lacking for 2020. We'd probably use something else if we had to start fresh today.

I don't know about anyone else, but I had some trouble with Elm. It's hard to reason in the type system (in comparison to Haskell), and I even had trouble just getting a drop-down list and radio buttons in a cross-platform way. The application structure is also very confusing to me, it's not quite MVC but it also doesn't let me just put stuff in one file. On the other hand, the workflow was good (even if it takes some time to compile + assets etc.), but I don't know if I'd use Elm again instead of trying TypeScript.
I feel like it's kinda the opposite. Tesla recently graduated from EV maker to car maker. There's honestly no car currently on the market that matches the Model 3 in its price range, whether electric or not. Acceleration and comfort features are nearly unmatched at the prices (in Europe at least). Sure, there's something to be gained in road noise and build quality, but the cars are incredible. I feel like investors are finally seeing this with, for example, NFL players explaining how Tesla is their current go to car and it becoming a status symbol.

Investors have been too stuck on the environmentally friendly thing to see that they make great cars and that's not even the only thing they do.

I assume the amount of HN articles per day has increased over the years since 2007 along with the growth of HN popularity. So, when I see a trend in some subject would it take that into account? Otherwise it could easily not be a trend but an increased amount of HN users.

Actually Intel is at the forefront of deep learning software as well:

- MKL-DNN (rebranded DNNL) is unique and has no equivalent in the ARM space. It even supports OpenCL

- OpenCV

- MKL

- PlaidML and NGraph follow the current trend of deep learning compilers

- They had Nervana Neon as a deep learning framework which I'm pretty sure contributed to Nervana acquisition as at the time it was even faster for convolution than Nvidia CuDNN.

I'm really looking forward to their Xe GPU.
Also I expect them to leverage MLIR or contribute heavily to the linear algebra dialect -> LLVM IR optimization passes.

So I agree with all of that except for the 'it would have been better to not bailout those home owners'.

That would have led to existential destruction of the economy from which recovery would have taken decades.

So - the bailouts, immoral as they may be - were a better options.

But yes - interest rates should probably be nudged a little higher, and mortgages should be of much higher quality etc..

One trick would be to get rid of mortgage interest as a deduction. That's crazy. Of all the things we are making tax-deductible? Mortgage interest? Wow.

Investing in TSLA right now is basically a way of making money by shorting the survival of life on Earth.

There is no Planet B. The energy expenditure required to 1) terraform Mars and make its environment habitable to humans, and 2) get enough people there... is several orders of magnitude harder than fixing our problems here on Earth.

Even if that plan was viable: we simply don't have the time to do so before we kill ourselves off.
Ask HN: The Fediverse looks promising. Do you agree?
I really like how the fediverse is coming along, and is evolving. Started mostly by driven FOSS developers sharing a vision of a future decentralized internet, who created niche applications based on cool but incomplete standards, and who are now bundling forces to knit them together.

A lot of this development is a bit off the radar, because communications occur mostly on the fediverse itself, i.e. via dogfooding.

Unlike W3C (standards-first) standardization takes a practical-application-first approach, which is interesting.

Check e.g. https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks

Some cool apps to be discovered: Mastodon, Pleroma (Twitter alternative), PeerTube (YouTube alternative), PixelFed (Insta alternative), ForgeFed (federated git) and many others in development (Medium, Meetup alternatives, etc.)

Look here for a large list of AP projects: https://git.feneas.org/feneas/fediverse/-/wikis/watchlist-for-activitypub-apps

Seems to me the fediverse has a bright future. Do you agree?

The majority of people on HN are dependant on advertising for the most part too. Their employers use it, their investors use it, the platforms they use are dependant on it. Most YC companies need to advertise. It's not just running ads on the site, it's needing advertising as part of marketing.

I'd expect to see most users here realise this dependence and start to defend their livelihood. However most people here (myself included) hate ads, and use blockers wherever possible.

Show HN: Radiant – An AI Radio Presenter
Radiant is a radio service which uses deep Spotify integration coupled with Google's WaveNet speech synthesis engine to create an artificial radio host called Rad who will play the soundtrack to your day.
Rad pulls biographical information for the artist you're currently listening to but might not know too well and will tell you a little about them after the song has ended. On the hour Rad fetches the local news and weather and will read that to you too. Rad also builds an understanding of where home and work are based on patterns and will let you know what your commute looks like and of course, the music; beyond just telling you who the previous song was by and who is next, Rad creates a dynamic and infinite stream of music you'll love based on what you love using your tastes, acoustic attributes and collaborative filtering and if you're looking for something specific, you can ask Rad to play you one of your playlists. Basically thanks to Rad, Radiant turns Spotify into the ultimate lean back listening experience.
We'll be expanding Radiant to have more presets with new presenters, different musical genres and activities (Study classical, Metal to run too etc) in future so get it now to keep up to date with the latest!
> it doesn't even solve the problem because dependencies are just downloaded from the package manager.

The advantage of Docker is that you can verify the container works locally as part of the build process rather than finding out it is broken due to some missing dep after a deployment. If you can verify that the image works then the mechanism for fetching the deps can be as scrappy as you like. Docker moves the dependency challenge from deployment-time to build-time.
> Europe is the most realistically ambitious but is too fractious & bureaucratic to rapidly make the necessary big decisions

I think EU is the only significant region to have actually decreased CO2 emissions over the past few decades: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/World_fo...

That's not to say they couldn't have done more, but it's kinda sad that everyone else is drawing a flat line or going up. EU alone is not going to save the planet, even if they somehow stopped emissions altogether.
Yeah, peaks in story count nowadays are relatively smaller than peaks from 2007-2009ish. You can use the "Display as % of stories" button which is right of the "Group data by" drop-down to show the data as a % of daily/weekly/monthly stories posted to the site.
If they get the right false positives, false negatives, and bias, it might enhance their media reputation overall. For example, a while ago the White House posted a video of an altercation with a journalist which a lot of journalists believed had been manipulated to make it look worse than it was. Now, this obviously wasn't true on looking at the video, and indeed a couple of outlets hired video forensics experts who concluded this - but AP managed to find a non-expert who was merely a video editor and confirmed their belief by mistaking signs of frame rate conversion for the video being sped up, and the press ran with it.

Meanwhile, there was an a very convincing deceptively-edited video circulating on Twitter which clamed to show parts had been sped up by overlaying the White House version on the original - it was very vivid, with the overlay seeming to jump ahead in fast-moving parts. This was an illusion created by running the videos 7 frames or so out of sync the whole way through and abusing the fact the slight differences weren't noticable in slow-moving parts during normal playback. No-one noticed. Youtube fighter of misinformation Captain Disillusion even helped spread it and gave his approval.

My general reckoning is that Twitter would get much more praise for labelling the non-tampered video as misleadingly edited and endorsing the accuracy of the video that was misleadingly edited to make the other one appear that way, than the other way around.
ISP's all over the valley did this in the 80's and early 90's as a way of supporting multiuser systems ..

Deep fakes are a thing. Fake news are a thing. Not sure what's achieved by pointing out some fantasized "hysteria" of the media about it, especially when that bundles up everyone in the same basket, although some of these are actually relying on these methods to push their views.

Attempting to label these so people aren't manipulated by it is something that deserves praise.

It's not a free pass of course, it does seem insanely hard, and it better materializes into something concrete with a real impact that does solve the issues at hand.
Polarization in climate change views increases with higher education and income

There is a user-friendly mature software for this already (which technically did not even use ML in the recent sense because it is much older): SVP project. You can connect it to many players and play any video of your choice in realtime.
Then there are high quality tools in video editing software like Premiere or Davinci Resolve which do this also (pixel flow framerate adjustment)...
Then there is hardware accelerated version of this in NVIDIA graphics cards which can be used in some video players too...

This is mostly a solved problem, it has existed for many years, no real need for ML here. (Possibly for some quality improvements?)

Going through the comments here I notice the recurrent theme that it's your company that has to adapt to SAP and not the other way around.

To me this raises two key questions:

1. Isn't this harmful/limiting for your enterprise in the long run?

2. How can you at some point migrate away from SAP once you adapted to it?

Given these issues and the huge costs, why would it make sense to adopt it in the first place? At least in the year 2020 (maybe the situation was different decades ago).
Surprise! I'm a mathematical biochemist.

The necessary reactions to make a photosynthetic carbohydrate production chemical pathway energetically feasible actually only exist within extremely narrow temperature bounds.

You honestly don't understand how naive you are. You're disguising hope by what sounds vaguely scientific.

Platform fails without them, though.

Announce a platform, intending for it to fail? Big fish like Intel are masters at this now.
SAP always is an interesting case. It gets close to zero love from HN, yet the platform has some interesting engineering.

For example, they had their own language that abstracts and operates directly over a database. They had their own drag and drop UI builder, that compiles down to a HTML page or a desktop widget - which is again not an ordinary feat. They view code as data, as in even the UI is stored as a configuration and not as some Java code. They had their own VCS back when Git didn’t exist. Of course, all these weren’t best of their class, but they sure did get there ideas right.

All these must have been interesting engineering concepts back during its time, yet there hasn’t been much tech literature on how they accomplished it or what inspired them to. At least not that I know of.

Now that open source is on fire, of course a single company cannot catch up with the pace these open source softwares are racing ahead.

Companies like Zoho and Salesforce are able to catch up because they do two things right.

#1. Cloud

#2. Adopting open-source and making a clever mix of proprietary engineering

The next SAP or Oracle will certainly be companies that get those two things right.
