Similar thing happened. I was on a flight, totally normal. During the flight my nose blocks up a little bit.

As we land, the worst kind of “your head is going to explode” sensation. Eyes watering. So much pain I’m rocking back and forward in my seat. Nothing can be done. Nothing can stop it.

Ended up losing my hearing (both ears) for 2 months, everything sounded like it was underwater, not even distant. But underwater.

Anyway. Turns out I have some random allergy to birch trees and being within 2km of one when it’s pollinating can block me up.

Utterly horrifying experience. Losing a sense is no joke. Makes you understand how fragile the human form is.
> a video of police brutality filmed by one person. How do you "prove" it to be non fake?

You might have almost answered your own question. If there are many videos shot by random bystanders in multiple angles of the event, even if one is fabricated, another video can disprove it; making it harder to fake the event.

This would mean that one would have to 'fake' all the videos and angles from other people which is difficult to do, especially if it is live. So with that, it can be proved to 'have happened' but only if the bystanders are un-related to each other. Otherwise it will look 'staged'.

This literally happens. This guy was detained by protestors and handed over to the police:

The naming braille display makes more sense than most. They do replace a text output terminal and even work very much like a raster display with small height dimension. The users of the devices also probably also map sensing of it to parts of their visual cortex.

With sight being the most developed sense, we often default to language that refers to it. And many people are visual learners. We have expressions like "I see what you mean" being used to communicate technical matters and "I feel you" or "I hear what you're saying" to convey more emotional things. "I get what you mean" or just "I get you" can be used for either.

Even when studying Human-Machine-Interfaces and ergonomics in school, we were always talking about displays and controls. It's no wonder we have touchscreens for everything now. I wonder if we're going to get a generation who don't know what it's like to drive by feel and sound and smells of burning oil and rubber or other things with non-visual feedback loops. Perhaps another good reason to learn to play an instrument.

I am pretty sure that they do, at least in my mind as well as in the minds of my friends. Especially due to the amount of incidents. You can criticize one side without supporting the other.

And there are a quite few where they haven't. This movement consists of different people with different beliefs after all.

Without some incredible breakthrough in AI, trying to adapt autonomous cars to the regular road network is like swimming up a cascade. We're far more qualified to adapt the road infrastructure to autonomous driving, perhaps even remove most of the cars and driving in the process, leaving only the bare minimum.

Yes it does, because this is about profiling.

If all crime is committed by South Asian women, you're right that it would be madness not to use that information to target crime-fighting measures such as, for example, only looking for suspects that are female and have a South Asian suspects.

Profiling, however, where you preventively search if not outright harass people, is something entirely different: if one in ten South Asian women engage in crime, every time you preventively search and harass one of them, you have a ninety percent chance of searching and harassing someone who is innocent.

So, turn roads into closed train tracks? That will take even longer than creating a true AI... people drive cars, people cross roads, stuff gets on roads, there are so many vehicles some do break down... What you suggest would lead to self-driving cars turning most roads into endless traffic jams.

It’s bizarre to me that nowadays an application can become frontmost application at all. When I switched to OSX back in the days, it was an advertised feature that this can’t happen the same way it does on Windows. If something wants attention, its icon bounced in the dock. Nothing more.
With uBlockO it was 1.5MB for me, without it was 3.8MB, on Firefox, coming from Germany. Which is still pretty ridiculous on both numbers for what's actually visible on the page.

The void keyword predates ANSI C by several years. It was introduced in pcc in the early 1980s during the effort to improve the portability of Unix, which included improving the type safety of C.

> Will stopping actually work given the conditions, my payload

If there is rain and/or your payload is heavy, that increases your braking distance, so accordingly detection should either work further ahead or your speed would have to be reduced to allow for safe braking.

> is the object moving toward me

This is a very valid point. If not all vehicles are autonomous, even on a well-protected highway it is possible to have a cascading accident caused by human mistake. This would even be an issue if all vehicles are autonomous, since some could be hijacked by owners.

In my view this type of “dumb” object detection for emergency braking purposes should work together with contextually aware AI-based overall autonomy, not instead of it. Upthread I wrote “an autopilot should not be entrusted to decide further”, which was perhaps ambiguous—meant that in context of an anomaly ahead.
I've used personal wikis for many years. It's easy to link between notes, it's searchable. I used camelcased words as hashtags. I had several thousands notes in it, personal and work related.

Then the smartphone came and took over, and there was no good wiki-app and in the browser didn't really work. Since then I've switched to Evernote. Again more than 1000 notes without transferring the wiki to Evernote. I can get lost sometimes, and then it needs some work to clean up tags and notes.

> OneNote or even just a text file for a while, I get overwhelmed every time I open it to take a note as it is littered with stuff that I no longer need

I don't understand your problem. Evernote can be sorted on date of last access, so you always see the most recent notes on top. You don't want a collection of notes, but you want auto-archive? Isn't auto-archive the collection?

> but found no tool that lets me just start on a blank page and ignore the history.

In evernote and probably any note taking app you can open a new note and start clean.

Anyway, the question is about optimally using GPGPU resources. It's desired to keep both ALU units and memory units busy, and it's not trivial what ratio of memory vs alu operations should there be. This paper addresses it _very_ nicely.

> Substituting the hardware parameters listed in Table 4.1 into the solutions above suggests that hiding arithmetic latency requires 24 warps per SM and hiding memory latency requires 30 warps per SM if on the Maxwell GPU – which are similar numbers. This is despite the dramatic difference in latencies –6 cycles in one case and 368 cycles in another – and in contrast with the prevailing common wisdom.

The paper doesn't answer if there is a disadvantage in having too many warps, but considering that the max warps/block/sm is 32, we can say that you need 32 warps / 1024 threads per SM for optimal performance most often.

If you ever have the chance to see parts of the late Ruki Matsumoto's vast collection of Soviet posters, then I highly recommend going! Seeing them in person was (imo) much more interesting than seeing them online. The sheer size of some of them really adds a lot to the aesthetic.

I got to see some of them at an exhibition at Liljevalchs in Stockholm in 2018 [1]. My favorite was probably this one [2], which was encouraging workers to not be lazy. Design-wise I think this was the best one [3].

I apologize for the poor picture quality, but if you're interested then there are some more photos from that exhibition here [4].

Would you also say that rioters can be blamed for some of the damage, or only politicians? I'm pretty sure I've seen videos of people looting stores and beating up others.

I hated that tactic in my own country, where some of my fellow rioters last year blamed covert police agents for the damage and provoking violence, and I hope you hate that tactic from your own side as well.

You should take a look at Grokking Deep Learning[1] by Andrew Trask. Its one of the few books on Deep Learning which a student with high school mathematics knowledge can read and understand. DL is about programming the computer so its expected you would be able to write code using python.

What if those people don't do it according to the law or in a just manner? We just all say: "oh well, they have a monopoly on force, so nothing to be done"?

You probably think it was quite rude to separate from the British at all. Perhaps we should go back to being a colony, since the separation was actually a complete violation of the crown's monopoly on violence!
One officer did the killing, three others let him do so, as it was a slow killing. Four out of the four present were complicit; think about what that likely implies about the rest of the police force, statistically.

And they did it even as people yelled at them and were recording. How many more officers might do it if nobody was watching? That's the truly scary thought.

My instructor (in the UK) gave me the same instruction. To be fair, it's pretty intuitive. It's also remarkable how few people follow it (e.g. they don't slow down sufficiently around blind bends, or when there are pedestrians close by).
Do Protests Work?
According to [0], it's legal to use a void return type, but the value returned to the host environment is unspecified. Whereas if you use an int return type and allow control to reach the closing brace of the main function, it's as if you put return 0; (as of C99)

It seems like a bad idea to use void return type (presumably you want the program to always return 0), but the standard permits it.

> instead of CS gas it would be great if there was some sort of sedative gas to just slow people down enough to sap their will to continue

That is the most casually delivered fucked up dystopian line I've seen on HN.
I believe that's deprecated. The right thing to do - though very well hidden - is to use device enumeration:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/devices-sensors...

This uses mDNS under the hood and works pretty well now. The basics is that you create a device watcher and set it up to look for devices of a specific kind. In this case, you're looking for network-based devices with a specific service type.

It's however somewhat of a pain to get running as there's a lot of details you need to know / figure out before you can get running.
Exactly. As wrong as this incident was, the murderer is already in jail. That may not feel like justice right now, but that's what we do with murderers. Basically, the system worked as it should as long as he receives an appropriate sentence.

I do agree with you on this! I tried to follow the tutorial, but it is not easy for me to decipher the syntax without checking line by line. Maybe I'll come back to this eventually, but would prefer Intel syntax for readability..
Because you want to use COTS chips for memory. Cost of interleaving memory and compute is huge, and only gets worse when you consider the fact that such memory is "locked" to particular product.

So the only interleaved memory is very small caches local to the compute cores.

(And I'm not even getting into power and thermals involved)
you are half correct, but welcome to the downvote brigade of people going against the hive mind.

"Most European cities predate cars"

I suspect that only applies to the cores of European cities - most have got much larger since the car was invented and the newer areas were definitely designed with cars in mind.

e.g. Maps of Edinburgh over a few centuries:

https://maps.nls.uk/towns/edinburgh-city.html

Even in the 1920s Edinburgh was pretty small compared to its current extent.
Some context would be nice.
Even the driver behind the Tesla seems to slam on the brakes at the last minute, lose control of the vehicle and then dangerously swerve across two lanes to pass the obstacle. What on earth is going on with these road users? I'd expect a very slow approach, hazard lights on, stop and check that everyone is OK before even thinking about continuing around the wreckage.
Well on x86 CPU anyway. ( Although the context of the patch is specifically x86 ) on Graviton 2 each vCPU is actually a CPU core.
That's not a very good argument in this case because the average Silicon Valley tech worker has a better take home salary than a programmer in those countries even after accounting for education/childcare and insurance costs.
Why is this notable? It's just within an automated test...
This is actually a good anecdote, which makes me wonder: Did we evolve our taste mechanism to make meat and everything nourishing to taste good, so we can actively seek and put effort into acquiring next meal that tastes better?
> Why, if tech is supposed to be about innovation, must a union representing its workers must necessarily be tethered to the same faults as older institutions?

I don't really follow that tech is about innovation, but that aside: I'm not saying a union would have be the same as all the other unions, I'm asking why it wouldn't and how to ensure that.

The SAG is interesting, but I don't know whether it's very comparable to tech. I'm not anti-union, but I wouldn't join a union, I work too closely with them to believe that it's in my personal best interest. For the average (non-tech) worker, that's different, they'll most likely benefit. But they're also in a very different position than tech people, with very different hiring markets.
>No, but I mean all cars for some time now have to include anti-collision radar as standard,

The way these work is by tracking other moving objects around you rather than stationary objects you are approaching.

It'll track another car to see if it emergency brakes or changes lane too close to you, but it won't track a parked car on the road that you side swipe or head into etc.
Why aren't there e.g. 16 GB of L1D$ inside our CPUs? It'd be blazingly fast! :)

Although memory access patterns of typical GPU workloads are very different than those of CPU workloads, there are GPU-local, hierarchical caches similar to CPUs for different purposes that are exclusive to shader cores/computation units, which can be even partitioned dynamically. The struggle on the GPU side is keeping all the cores busy while servicing memory requests efficiently. Sharing memory across small group of threads run in lockstep, for example, is a great way of doing it.
Comma.ai's system actually has an eyeball tracker that I think stops things if you are not looking where you are going which would likely prevent this kind of crash.
> The problem, which shows up in plenty of posts on social media, is that people's concern should, first and foremost, be the excessive use of force by US police officers, and the lack of accountability that officers face, in particular when black lives are lost as a result.

Not really. The passenger and cargo area are on top and the fuel tanks are at the bottom, which will be mostly empty after landing.

IIRC Starship has a cargo capacity of 100 metric tons, all of it topside. The Raptor engines at the bottom will counterbalance this somewhat but it will still be top-heavy.
I think they have a front radar. The trouble with those is differentiating stationary stuff like bridges from stationary stuff like overturned trucks.
Maybe not all of them, but you only need a few people like the over-enthusiastic COD cosplayer cop [1] in management positions to kick things off.

Considering the vast, vast amount of footage of excessive force from the police in the last few days, I think it's likely the police want a riot. If they don't then they're beyond incompetent since they keep causing riots regardless.
