I agree with you, and am having a hard time talking myself into a new console purchase. I have a gaming PC, which is what these consoles have become with the added insult of paying subscription fees for online play.
FWIW, I've never been so courageous as to try this (even when I know it's a chanterelle, I can wait 'til I get home) -- but north america has it's fair share of both destroying angels (a. virosa) and death caps (a. phalloides) and I've gotten that advice from local experts. OTOH folks who know what they're doing still make fatal or near-fatal mistakes... I'm not nearly enough of an expert to trust the seemingly-cavalier expert advice ;)
There are several reasons, but a big one is that they cannot be mass produced with consistent quality as easily as synthesized chemicals.
Do you want your game creators focuses on twonking around in the guts of an obscure, probably poorly documented and understood one-off architecture, or worried about creating an interested and enjoyable game?
Quick reminder that rebuttals are more valuable than downvotes.

This made me lol!

I'm black, I've had my share of "random" unfair and plain scary interactions with police, but until people actually begun seeing the proof I would always get variations of "A cop would not behave that way, you must have been doing something" from acquaintances (almost always white).
Hard to say. Truck drivers will be hit hard by this - they can't really stop interacting with people, almost never get paid time off, are older and in poor health, and are paycheck to paycheck.

My bet is that nearly all of them get COVID, with a higher hospitalization / mortality rate. Could knock 30% of capacity off the road in the next 2 quarters, which would mean food shortages.
Randomized controlled trial
No, I'm advocating resistance against US policy that's unjust and overreaching. And given that the US is too powerful to resist directly, I'm advocating discretion.

What's criminal and what's human rights depends on ones perspective.
So indeed we shouldn't. What now?
If hosting costs are a concern: both Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure give away $300 and $200 in credits, respectively, for new accounts.
You mean the taxpayers eat the premium increases.
Apparently there's a bunch of FreeBSD code in it as well.
10-15% of cases require hospitalization. The US has hospital beds for about 0.2% of the population, so possibly 10% or higher mortality rate.
If you are black, and you don't consent to a search, you are probably getting arrested for "resisting arrest" (I've had it happen to a friend). It's a lose-lose situation.
You won’t see any real performance comparisons because any benchmark related to kdb+ is completely restricted by its company. J without the database (Jd) is dual licensed with gpl as an option, so you can try to compare the base language by yourself for your application. But Jd again is free only for non-commercial use only.

Those shakti downloads seems to be fully functional.
My husband is an optometrist. There are lots of people who are driving with poor vision. We do not need (although it is obviously better) perfect vision to drive a vehicle. We can drive in fog or heavy rain, with limited vision. I am not sure that image quality is a big factor here.
But we do have a good spacial sense (distance) + object recognition (mass/speed) + psychology/habits. I can tell at glance if an object is able/supposed to move, and adjust (i.e. watch/sample it for few more milliseconds) to estimate it current speed. I estimate its mass and deduce inertia (can it stop if need to). I make eye contact with driver, to acknowledge that he saw me, etc. Not saying that those things cannot be learnt and used by a software.
I do agree that we do well with just two cameras, and we make up for it. BTW, from our senses, one that I rarely see mentioned is the hearing (used to label and spatially locate). I do use it while driving (e.g. motorbike approaching, but not seeing it yet, or emergency vehicle).
Success breeds legality
i thought of that of doing it with frames, but then frames do annoy a lot of people.

Do you have some small example where they do such an UI properly, so that i can copy it? I am not much of an expert in javascript/css.
Margins are not slim at all in the USA
Great point by the other responder.

High level - Uber and Lyft have done a terrific job getting people to work for less than minimum wage. I've met quite a number of uberdrivers who work in Robotaxi-Ready cities (think Chandler, Tampa, etc) who work 12-16 hours/day, 6-7 days a week, and make $20k/yr after depreciation.

While sensors are getting cheaper, most teams respond by throwing more sensors on the vehicle. It seems unlikely there will be a <$20k robotaxi anytime soon.

TL;DR: Humans are cheaper than robots.
That's an incredible oversight... one shouldn't interact with the plant without gloves, nor consume it (except to cure lycanthropy, obviously).
All transportation businesses are utilization businesses. Empty hours/miles are never recovered.

Early robotaxis will have tight geofences. Makes them particularly bad competitors to poorly paid people who are willing to drive wherever.
That is quite the estimate. I’d love to see the data behind that number.
Not my numbers, but why do you and I guess others think 5% will get infected when only 4.4% of the worst cases are testing positive? Wouldn't sampling the random population result in a significantly lower positive rate?
I've worked for 2 hopeless industries. It doesn't prevent me from collecting a paycheck.
If you have looked at a switch then you may have noticed that it uses a completely different form factor than a standard smartphone.
>Why expensive? seems like a Xbox One S is a few hundred bucks 299 I see on the site. The One X seems 100 more.

Do look up release prices. These consoles are old now.

And keep in mind they're not proper computers: They can only run a selection of programs, which are mostly games. Usefulness-wise, they aren't even comparable.
An interview with Chuck Peddle (in memoriam)
To find such a clear North Star in your life, and then fully commit to it, in a totally foreign culture no less, and to know your work has literally life changing impact on others overlooked by society, must feel amazing.
Ask HN: Who provides the most flexible business banking for a small llc?
I am starting an LLC so that I can start taking in money from clients, and need to set up a bank account. What banks can I look in to that provide dead simple setup and remote banking utilities? I'll need to be able to get debit and paper checks, payroll is not an issue as of yet.
There's a great epidemic calculator here -> http://gabgoh.github.io/COVID/index.html

Curious what the true parameters are for this outbreak, R0 must be pretty high.
This is a false dichotomy. If anything, I could see arguments that having to squeeze out capability it's a filter to only get things in the game that pass a development budget. Not just all you can throw at it.
There are a couple of people working on that, notably CloudTrucks.

It's not for the faint of heart - truck drivers and engineers follow a very different set of social norms. It's hard to be the hardass boss drivers don't want to fuck with while being the cuddly CEO engineers like the culture of. That might be a future blogpost.
Yes, this is essentially the same reason why you don't see robots flipping burgers. The automated equipment would have to get very cheap to be cost effective.
I hope every case this officer has ever been involved in gets re-examined. Any defense attorney worth anything should raise hell over it.
That's some faith in mankind.

I have done that, and I finally got a console this year.

A lounge PC is a shithouse experience compared to a console. Absolute garbage. Simply supporting multiple people in a household on an Xbox is trivial and easy. On a PC using Steam it's absolute trash. Steam treats PCs like it's 1995 and single-user.
Apples to oranges.

TCP has no concept of a message, you need to build it on top of TCP.

Which HTTP does, but it doesn't have a standard concept of a message format, you need to build it top of HTTP.

Which gRPC does, but it closes the connection after a successful exchange.

Which is avoided by streaming gRPC - makes sense if you know you'll be talking more over this channel.

None of those protocols are really comparable, and most of the differences boil down to the serialisation protocol (binary/proto or textual, like JSON).
Awesome! We're very much looking for feedback on how we can improve it.
Excellent interview with Chuck Peddle, originally aired in 2015 by The Amp Hour podcast. He was a true legend behind the personal computer, and unfortunately passed away last December [1][2].

From Wikipedia [3]: "Charles Peddle (Nov 25, 1937 – Dec 15, 2019) was an American electrical engineer best known as the main designer of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, the KIM-1 single-board computer, and its successor, the Commodore PET personal computer, both based on the 6502."

good grief - shows where eu’s priorities lie. countries struggle to get antiviral equipment yet the eu wastes time on this non issue.
Maybe you're especially insightful. I was taking Computer Engineering classes in 1990 and I distinctly remember thinking, Why would anyone want to deal with something so complicated and unreliable as digital music files, when radio and CDs worked just fine, were so much simpler to use and sounded better?

In the midst of so much confusion, this was a truly beautiful, necessary read.
No, and that’s my point. 144hz is probably overkill, but 60hz is a noticeable difference.
Not related to with_entries, but I didn't see anywhere else in this thread that mentioned dealing with awscli output

from_entries handles nicely the Tags in a lot of awscli output, you can do things like

aws ec2 describe-instances | \
jq '.Reservations[].Instances[] |
{Role: .Tags | from_entries | .role,
Name: .Tags | from_entries | .name,
Id: .InstanceId}' \
-C -c | sort | less -R

to get a summary of all your instances sorted by role.

i just tried it and i cannot figure out how i use media with the app. even just a simple embedded image i cannot get to work (i never see the image). drag&drop an image from firefox into a note doesn't work either (nothing happens after i drop it).
Well, it's not going to fix the layout for you, but it'll ensure that it won't end up under a curve of the screen or behind some UI protrusion.
Yes. IMO: Seriously resolve to disband them. Just recognize that the institution is fundamentally dysfunctional and take the necessary action. Reassign their duties to separate agencies with appropriate oversight: the general security forces should not be the investigators should not be the large crowd control force. Absolutely none of them should be military, and absolutely all of them should have degrees in psychology, at the very least, and from institutions accredited by an independent body. Finally, disarm them all by default, and rearm based on independently-determined necessity.
great example of how white collar crime does not get punished. “no more than 30 months” for a theft implicated at multi-billion dollar values. that’s even less with good behavior credit
> But I haven’t seen it work in practice with strong usability.

The Linux kernel does this (with a mailing list, no less!). I agree with the main thrust of your post and I suppose strong usability is arguable but I thought it would be good to throw out a (very) notable example regardless.
The problem is that most of those businesses don't make sense with the current cost of talent. The L2 systems OEMs are rolling out are primarily made by engineers in low-cost areas at $60-90k/yr, not $130-250k/yr in SV.

Realistically, most of the AV talent will go to industries that can afford them. Salary isn't super elastic.
Just because he reports factual information about the market, does not mean he has to believe those facts or even act upon them. Actors are allowed to be irrational.

Furthermore, even were he to believe in the long term market prospects, doesn’t mean that he has to continue taking the risk in the short term. It’s okay to diversify your portfolio in a time of crisis, even if you have no current knowledge that things will change for the worse. For all you know, things will change for the better and you would miss out on gains because one company you were not investing in did better than predicted.
They can do both. Often the constraints of the hardware allow for some very unique games.
Interpolation and frame rate are two different things.

Care to give an argument more than ‘looks garbage’? I think people reported that the hobbit looked weird, but that’s likely because were used to 30fps in a subconscious level.
There were other options besides just those two. Japan at the time would have accepted any peace agreement with just a single clause: that the Emperor would not be executed. Anyone else could be. This was a reasonable agreement to make since the US didn't execute him anyway. The war could have ended in the same state that it ultimately did with far less loss of life on both sides except for the US insistence on unconditional surrender.
Do we need to start over or take the Bill of Rights much more seriously? The Miranda Rights thing only helps so much sadly. People need to lawyer up and not speak to cops period.

Also we need to ensure cops like these are only given 1 single chance and when they go under scrutiny the 2nd time no paid leave. No exceptions. The law matters more than protecting scumbags.

Course if you are caught as a officer interfering with the law you should be charged of the same crime in addition to what anybody else would be charged of for doing the same.
On the job experience about which ML algorithm is more useful for a task is certainly helpful.

But, knowing how to implement "X from scratch" gives you far more useful information about how and why a particular algorithm is suitable for a certain task. We should encourage people to reimplement algorithms from scratch (for fun, not production usage) so that they understand how the sausage is made.

Also, SVMs support a whole lot of different loss functions. I suspect that a properly tuned SVM will do better than a properly tuned logistic regression.
Fair point. I'm shitty at drawing mathematical graphs.

I'll update at some point with different notation.

I take a different lesson: when a large company is affected, the small guy gets up to 30 months. When a small-time engineer gets his idea stolen by a big company in a similar way, they have zero recourse.

To be clear, I think both should be punished, but the large corp stealing ideas NEVER will.
What you're describing is a PC.
Help the poor. Really. When each penny counts, the incentive can only go that far. It's not exactly what capitalism good at.
Thank you for that! I had no idea Azithromycin had those effects.
They actually banned them after SARS, but then legalized them again after it all wound up being sold on the black market anyway, but with worse safety.

There was a person in the vehicle. Amusingly - many VCs who "should know better" fell for the same error. I'd regularly get in arguments with investors about whether others had done unmanned or not.
I've been actively working on firmware that is now over ten years old. My advice tends to be if you have an api that takes a pointer to a structure you should have a version field from the get go.

Education is funny. Sony should have learned that they had a killer feature with the PS2 if not ballooning price. And hanging the value add that old games would still work! Just amazing.
Even if they dont "use" anything he stole, 30 months of someone else's life in jail is a zero price to pay for Uber to get even a small amount of competitive knowledge. Even something like an internal calendar of expected timelines would be super useful and cant be unseen.
How's Lyft Shuttle doing? (genuine question, I don't know)

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/06/lyft-reinvents-the-b...

The point is that we already have self-driving vehicles. You press a button on your phone and somebody drives you around. Whether it's a premium ride, a shared ride, or a bus is an orthogonal issue to whether the driver is human, which is a matter of cost.

The fact that it's a cost issue makes it look even worse and further out for driverless.

If there is demand for a shuttle along predetermined routes, it would already exist with a driver, and that's what Lyft Shuttle is if I understand correctly. I haven't seen it in SF or heard of anyone using it. It's definitely possible that they could figure out the product and it will become popular, but that has little to do with self-driving.
Exactly. Tesla is an EV company that uses Autopilot to get better margins (and marketing)
Is your complaint that his sentence is too light? Or that non-white collar crime is punished too harshly?
People legally authorized to kill other people should be willing to subject themselves to a higher degree of scrutiny.
There is a much larger more fundamental problem I'm referring to. It's right in front of us, and yet invisible, for lack of a better term. Kind of like this virus ironically.

Crisis PR is an interesting thing. Each incremental death from AV causes less repetitional damage. Uber had a big shitstorm when they first killed someone, now they kill someone every day and the response is crickets. This is less of an issue than people like to make of it.
Stories like this one usually give me bunch of really uneasy thoughts and feelings. It is difficult to avoid comparing own life path and choices to other people's - she achieved incredible things, saved lives and will be inspiration for many. And here I am, sitting countless hours behind screen,doing all these irrelevant things, writing code which maybe will increase someone's profit insignificantly. It is like it is.
On a somehow slightly ironic note I cannot read about these uplifting events from the EU. :-)

The EU is just not free enough, or something:

"Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market. We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will provide all readers with our award-winning journalism."

It was supposed to have two Cells, with one of them focused on rasterization (sort of like larrabee). To meet that, they were expecting to clock it to 4GHz. It's really one of the first casualties in the end of Moore's law.

And I'd say that the SPEs were fantastic, and in a lot of ways was the only thing making up for the anemic GPU. It took a while for game devs to orient their thinking from "this thread is the render thread, this thread is the physics thread" to "this is the dependency graph of work that needs to be done, have all the (even heterogeneous) cores picking work off of that graph and completing them as fast as possible in order", but that was the right direction to go either way. That's about the only way to take advantage of the PS4/Xbone effectively too.
You should continue watching then. My bet is 50/50 odds of either nothing happening, or one of the officers gets suspended with pay (free vacation).
Stories like these make me feel like Orwellian ubiquitous surveillance might not turn out so bad after all.

I'll throw out there that a G5 was never in the cards from a count count budget perspective.
It's important to note that citizens can always return, but the issue is that if they close borders nobody will be running flights for very long.
A police officer is not an ordinary citizen. They have huge authority, and the accountability should match. Also, I'm not suggesting that they should have to wear their body cams at all times, just when they are clocked in. Hell, even gas station attendants have constant video surveillance of their actions and no one complains.
In AwesomeWM (a linux window manager), we have APIs to lie to windows. Telling youtube it is in fullscreen mode when it isn't is very useful. A lot of websites have much better fullscreen / mobile modes.
