I understand why anticheat software exists, and why it's getting increasingly intrusive (and therefore risky). I'm not arguing that there's anything wrong with it.

That said, the existence of cheaters is one of the big reasons why I don't play such games -- and that games include anticheating software is another one of the big reasons, equal to the existence of cheating in terms of how objectionable I find it.

From my point of view, this situation is nothing but a massive train wreck.
In my state the DMV gives you ten days to register a new car. If you have any car insurance at all there is a grace period.
I installed CUPS on it so it is a network enabled printer
I'm honestly surprised Twitch hasn't made more of a grab for this.

Start slowly, maybe a nightly gaming news show. Get a few podcasts to live broadcast their episodes.
So, when they formed the Fed?
Don't fear monger.

"Teslas" do not "run into the backs of car carriers".

I don't know where you are repeating that from, because you've clearly never driven one, but the core concept of autopilot is that the human should step in whenever a situation is confusing and/or dangerous. If the car does not recognize a situation it will always alert the driver to take over.
You're assuming his guilt there. That seems like an unwarranted assumption.
Wonder if really dead or "crashed"?

I remember when I ran coinchoose.com I spent most my day fighting off attacks.
It isn't just "can't put them out", grain dust is explosive. Grain elevators are time bombs.
The Bell breakups absolutely didn't work out. All the baby bell's have now remerged into almost the same situation. Telecom is not competitive. People rent their phones, modems, and even routers to this day.
Would you accept a higher risk of accident for you and your children, if it meant that an order of magnitude more other bad drivers would be saved?

Also keep in mind the outrage factor. The reason airplane crashes are so feared is because of the loss of control. Meanwhile alcohol and cars are much more dangerous but much lower outrage because you still feel like you have some control.
Maybe. Java is quite fast, but for very different reasons than APL; I don't think it would transfer that easily. Part of the reason APLs are so fast is because the interpreter and all the code fit in cache; my copy of k is 76kb. I don't think there's a chance you could get that with the jvm. APL also relies heavily on SIMD, and I don't know how well-supported that is on the JVM.
Still making excuses for your own inadequacy huh? How typical of your primitive American minds.
Right. And that's why it's not rolled out everywhere yet. But it's clearly getting closer and closer. It's probably less than 20 years away.

It's perfectly legal to ask.

It is however an invitation for legal trouble, because it will change the presumption of discrimination. If the question isn't asked, then the employer doesn't know, and thus it isn't possible that the information could have been used in a way that harms a protected class. (like race, religion, over-40, Vietnam veteran, sex, etc.)

Yes, you can ask about all that stuff. You can ask if somebody is a Mormon or a Jew or whatever. Your boss will probably be unhappy, because then it becomes an uphill battle to show that you didn't use the answer to discriminate against a protected class.
Same here and this isn't the first article from techcrunch on HN which redirects me. To be honest, it's kinda pissing me off to click HN articles just to get redirected to spam/ad or in my case a warning page notifying me of the redirect...
Also OR/AND can return non-null results even if NULL is one side of the operator:

(NULL AND 0) gives 0
(0 AND NULL) gives 0
(NULL AND 1) gives NULL
(1 AND NULL) gives NULL
(NULL AND NULL) gives NULL
(NULL OR 0) gives NULL
(0 OR NULL) gives NULL
(NULL OR 1) gives 1
(1 OR NULL) gives 1
(NULL OR NULL) gives NULL
I don't think anyone is against self driving cars if you assume they will work. Its whether they will work and what happens when they screw up that is the pertinent issue.
DeadCoins is dead :(
Doh, I was hoping for a captcha made by the NSA, for catching bots, and terrorists and such.
First, we need to define what "true AI" actually means. From all the discussions I've taken part in, and everything I've read, we don't have such a definition.

We don't even have a good definition for "intelligence", artificial or not.
Works great for me... It's also nice that virtually every external person I've worked with, has Teams somehow. Even ex colleagues moving on to other companies I reconnect with on Teams right away haha, because the new company is using it too.

I just don't like the fact I can't control my notifications and chat history well, probably because it's enterprise. There's also a creepy 'get notification when colleague is online' feature that I can't turn off in my privacy settings. Otherwise quite nice.

I've seen a lot of discussion on publication dates, drafts, acceptance, preprints, publication, revisions, etc. However this is the first time I've seen someone mention the research period. It's a fascinating idea. If you want to push this, perhaps an avenue might be to talk to crossref. While they're not the only DOI registration agency, they cover most western content and are good with their APIs. They regularly have events and meetups, and have always been good for a chat. https://www.crossref.org/events/

They're a (relatively) central point for this kind of metadata.

> You may be in a position to push on that idea though!

Ah, unfortunately probably not, I'm very much on the receiving end of the data.

> Papers are always so careful to point to grant info (when applicable),

There's a lot here - surprisingly common for this not to be the case! Funders definitely want this though.
Understood. This IMO is a bit of a shaky ground, because, while still being (or being perceived as) a cloud leader - though Azure a formidable competitor across the cloud spectrum - AWS is definitely not a leader in the managed K8s area (where GCP clearly is, at least, as of now).
> To prevent integer overflow on large allocations, we use the checked_add method. If the resulting end address of the allocation is larger than the end address of the heap, we return a null pointer to signal an out-of-memory situation.

The overflow scenario should be treated the same as the out-of-memory scenario and also return null. The hypothetical result of the addition would always be larger than `heap_end`.

Suppose you allocate heap at the far end of the address space, then all out-of-memory events suddenly become overflows.

> The main limitation of a bump allocator is that it can only reuse deallocated memory after all allocations have been freed.

It can do better, in `dealloc` you can use `ptr` and `layout` to check if the allocation is at the end of the allocated region. If it is, `bump.next` can be reduced by `layout.size()`. This is optimal for lifo/stack style allocation patterns.

Alignment complicates implementation since precise information on the previous value of `bump.next` is lost. There are way to solve this, for example by always padding to some maximum alignment, or writing the padding size in the padding.
No, they illustrate that what is needed is a proper theory to guide investigations, and that meanwhile some experimentalists mostly behave as if they found a "free paper" button and are abusing the hell out of it.

If you can put anything into graphene and get better electrocatalytic properties, then it doesn't make sense to publish any individual result about doping with "x" since that's just a subset of "anything". But if you do get a paper to put on the CV for a few weeks work, why would the fact that you are just doing redundant confirmation stop you?
The comment you are replying to said "the value of the euro", not low interest rates. Interest rates are so low not because of Italy, but because the German government stopped borrowing. If you cut the supply of something, the price goes up. If the price of bonds go up, then the interest rate goes down.
Wrong interpretation.

They are absolutely not "less safe", because they are all human driven cars.

Why not say the rest of your argument with the fact that cruise control made cars "less safe than human driven cars" because people fell asleep at the wheel and drifted off the road.
If he'd actually release some tax returns then we wouldn't have to speculate. Until then, we have to rely on investigative journalism to try and reveal the truth:

Content ID was not at all alien to the 90s Congress; the DMCA explicitly calls for the industry to develop such systems, though it stops short of requiring YouTube to do all the technical heavy lifting:

(1) Accommodation of technology.—The limitations on liability established by this section shall apply to a service provider only if the service provider—

(A) has adopted and reasonably implemented, and informs subscribers and account holders of the service provider’s system or network of, a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers and account holders of the service provider’s system or network who are repeat infringers; and

(B) accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures.

(2) Definition.—As used in this subsection, the term “standard technical measures” means technical measures that are used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works and—

(A) have been developed pursuant to a broad consensus of copyright owners and service providers in an open, fair, voluntary, multi-industry standards process;

(B) are available to any person on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms; and

(C) do not impose substantial costs on service providers or substantial burdens on their systems or networks.
Poop might work but there are probably better materials
The stats aren’t good enough to be sure yet. They’re encouraging, and if you’d asked me in 2010 I absolutely would not have guessed that a few billion miles of experience wasn’t enough to know for sure, but turns out we need more data.
I like that idea. I get miserable service out at my family's cabin in rural MB, but elevators are by far the highest things around.
ContentID is not the only only other way to issue a takedown. See the opaque tools described here: https://www.eff.org/issues/intellectual-property/guide-to-yo...

Strikes are not perfectly 1:1 with DMCA requests. I don't know how to prove that, but I don't trust some reductive Google support pages to have the whole picture either.
How do we go about deciding what an appropriate percentage to make up 50% of AGI is? How much inequality is acceptable?
You know that it's not the job of the human driver in experimental self-driving vehicles to just take control every once in a while, when he feels he'd like to drive a little?

A human interferes in precisely those situations in which the machine either decided to surrender or - worse - started doing something stupid and the human caught it quickly enough to prevent an accident. It is safe to assume that the human has a much better safety record in such situations.

And who does the human surrender to when he fails at driving? Should we also not count human accidents that could have been prevented if there was a world-class race driver ready to take over when the actual driver makes the failure?
I went to an estate sale for a famous SV chip inventor.

He had a 6' tall metal filing cabinet full of lucite plaques.

I guess "long buy" is a great strategy for the government's "long spend", "long debt", "long bonds", and "long whatever just blew out".

Where does all this wind up?

So #2 doesn't seem valid. Your purchase price is a direct reflection of global central bank's policies, meaning... it's only going up as currencies go down.
There's some momentum for Swift on servers. It has at least the potential for C-like performance, although the last time I tried it wasn't quite there yet. Might also be useful for having a second stack that works on the client as well as the server.

Then, there's a big push for Swift+Tensorflow and other ML. The hope here appears to be the ability to implement "automatic differentiation" (or was it "integration"?). I don't remember enough math to fully understand, let alone try to explain that. But I can attest that even without being implemented, it has the power to get ML people salivating.
Speaking as a 50-something engineer with over 30 years of development experience, but no degree, I can only say this: I have no problem at all getting excellent development positions.

But from what I've heard from colleagues my age, it depends a lot on what specialty you're into, what part of the world you're looking at, what companies you'd consider, and how up-to-date your skillset is.

I find that very experienced developers are in huge demand -- we're a shrinking group, and have knowledge and skills that are pretty rare in the younger crowd. But that demand is often not in the normal places that you may think of. Good places to look include industries that aren't directly software-oriented. Most largish businesses need developers, even if what they are in business to do isn't software development.
PS I am happy to report that I can understand ~90% of the words in the video. Enough to not lose the thread.
Starting professional digital marketing slack community
Ton (the speaker) has such a wonderful energy that maybe doesn't come off in this talk. I went to his Blender community session at SIGGRAPH last year, where he announced he wanted to go around the room and have people say their name and why they're interested in Blender before the talk started.

I assumed he was joking because the room was packed, there was over a hundred people in there. Yet he went for it, even going so far as to rip the tape holding down the microphone chord to reach all the people in the back. It took us over half an hour (of an hour long session) to get to everyone, but he explained that it had always been a tradition to do this, starting way back when less than a dozen people would be at a session like this. It was really inspiring seeing his commitment to hear from each and every single person in that room and actually get to know why they were here and what they were expecting out of Blender. I could tell this was a really awesome community, and it made it really easy to talk to everyone around me.

It was one of my favorite conference sessions.
> I think some of the chip chemicals and processes for working with silicon wafers were to be classified as such.

They sold off their chip foundries and all IP to GloFo a half decade ago (and since then GloFlo has stopped all non sustaining R&D).
Not Gillette. Title is wrong.
Thanks for this idea, I Googled Rick Doblin, which led me to MAPS, and now I've discovered there are two therapists in my home town that specialize in psychedelic integration. I'm going to contact them, I'm hoping that's exactly what I need to help me recover from my experience.
Remember that when elevators were developed, people were so scared of them they needed drivers for decades before people accepted that they could operate on their own.
It’s a poorly designed API, full stop. It doesn’t matter whether or not it has an API to check existence, it’s not the dictionary’s job to know whether or not a missing key is a valid state in the broader program, and most often it is. Moreover, it’s insane to do a separate “if exists” check every time you need some resource. And the world is littered with these poorly designed APIs, as they are idiomatic in Python, JS, C#, and Java.
Its not just YOUR product though - its the entire suite of products that medical institutions use. Be it the EHR, the patient management, the radiology, the cardiology system - each one deals in IE11 instead of a more modern tech stack. So if you end up being the outlier your product is more than likely going to end up being cut in preference for something with fewer features even.
Running deficits is not the same as inflation. There's no place for Germans to save, and its because the German government won't borrow. A sensible policy would be for the German government to borrow and invest heavily in infrastructure. Instead Germany has opted for policies that will cause it to teeter on the edge of recession for decades.
It is perfectly legal to ask, but that opens you up to accusations that you also discriminated. You no longer have the defense that you didn't know the information, and the court would want an explanation for why you were asking.

It's hard to imagine an illegal question under US federal law, but I suppose there could be one where the question itself is sexual harassment or an attempt at stealing trade secrets.
The money is in the book deals and speeches and what not after the fact. Even the Obamas are getting into making stuff for Netflix.

Maybe, maybe not. The nice thing about adding constructs to a language is that you often can opt in when you do use them. Also, if you have PHP developers, its going to take less time for them to learn async constructs in a language they're familiar with than switching your entire backend to nodejs just to leverage those features. Seems to me like that'd be far more work and cost a lot more.

Its not trivial to just upend an entire system.
Thanks for this idea - I've been holding off on upgrading, but I would be much more comfortable installing on a new volume and migrate instead of upgrade.
No, it gives back control if it can't continue in the situation. That means that it can't handle the scenario at all. Other drivers are completely irrelevant. Even if you took that out you'd still need to deal with pedestrians, cyclists, cars blowing tires and veering out of control, etc.

Not to mention that many of the times control has to be taken have nothing to do with other drivers or even other cars.

The reality is that a car can only be driven by a general artificial intelligence. We're nowhere in that ballpark.
Just guessing based on how the technology works, but I would presume that when you initiate an emergency call via a cell phone call, the best location indicator that emergency services receive is "somewhere near tower X", since you are just making a voice call.

Apps running on the phone have access to your phone's GPS and can get more precise location data, if you have allowed it. Using an emergency app (Active911, Smart911, etc) will provide more specific location data to emergency services, but these are applications that rely on data and GPS to be working and may not work in as many situations as a simple 911 call.

As far as who receives the call, I imagine it is just based on who the tower is preconfigured to forward the call to. If the tower you are connected to is close to a highway, you'll probably get highway patrol. If you're in town, you'll probably get local police.
People growing up 50 years from now will think the idea that we used to pilot our own cars is as ridiculous as the idea that people used to light their homes with whale oil.

AI can help warn about coronavirus and other potential epidemics
Academia has became an routine extension of school.

In school, you learn to fill in the blanks. In today's academia, you find the weakest and most useless subject, but the easiest to 'improve' on, and then manually fill in the blanks.

Of course there are exceptionally bright people in both places, but what used to happen was that academia consisted of much more of them proportionately. Now most everyone can put crap into graphene and observe the increase of electrocatalytic effect.
It was a hobby/learning project. I learned Scala in the process, and quite a bit of physics.

Building something better or more popular than Python, SciPy was not a goal
For sure they can't—but discussions don't need to degenerate into predictable partisan sniping. That stuff is always the same, so though it may be intense and exciting (to some), it's not intellectually interesting.

Because the criticisms from 1981 are no longer relevant and haven't been relevant for a long time. Turbo Pascal had conditional compilation since at least 1987.
AMP is faster by design, and it is impossible to get a generic HTML page to load as fast from a SERP (even a non-Google SERP), so your .NET analogy doesn't fit. Is it an antitrust violation that other search engines (Bing, Baidu, and Yahoo! Japan) also prefer AMP results?
I think you meant "rate"...
No, it's a way for execs to get the EPS up, and thus their options up, without, you know, increasing revenue or inventing anything. Seriously.
> None of those things are physically complex

I don't care about how physically complex something is. You didn't tell me how I'd tell the self driving car which spot to park in or which person on the corner is my friend. If you think this detail is minor, trivial or doesn't matter.... you are sadly mistaken.

> If burgers were that important, the burger company would partner with the self driving car company and find a way.

So you are telling me your $70,000 self driving car can't take me through one of the hundreds of thousands of drive thru's out there? That sounds pretty shitty.

> You don't choose the parking spot anymore than you chose the lane or the highway exit

You are telling me that this self-driving taxi will just stop at whatever place it feels like? How will I tell it precisely where to let me out? Remember it is pouring down rain / I am physically disabled and cannot walk very far / I am not entirely sure where I need to be dropped off until I get there.

So seriously, how will I command this self-driving car? Nobody seems to be able to answer this or even thought about it in any amount of detail at all. Probably because we are so far away from an actual self driving car that a realistic answer doesn't really matter at all.

And that is the problem with self-driving hype. Every time you ask about a specific detail it gets hand waved away as not important or some kind of edge case that doesn't matter. Guess what... edge cases matter. Your edge case is my important case. You add up all these edge cases that "don't matter" and you've excluded almost your entire market.
