Racist violence is political violence. It is agents of the state enforcing a racial order which is inextricable from (and perpetuated by) the politics of the state.

> And, "it hasn't kill anyone yet" is a pretty weak counter to the claim that arson can be violence. In fact, people do die from arson. The fact that nobody has - yet - in these protests does not change that whatsoever.

Okay, but then people are more likely to be killed by a police officer than by arson. So why don't we focus on the actual violent catalyst for all the protesting (and the ones playing out all over the country), which actually happened? Why are we so focused on the potential of the protestors to accidentally kill someone, rather than the very real threat of police actually killing unarmed US citizens?

One of these types of supposed violence is actually much more deadly than the other, with ample evidence.
I think a lot of devs and organizations these days take the "cattle" idea too far, to the point they're like industrial factory farms where all the animals are sickly, and the pools of effluent occasionally break out of containment and kill everything in the local watershed. Yeah, cattle, sometimes servers die and you replace them. But these organizations get too accustomed to just re-launching a whole new autoscaling group because the old one went bad for some reason that no one really wants to figure out. I get the impression they don't realize how unusual it is for a quarter of the cattle to die in a week. Meanwhile, my 100 or so "pets" are managed using an appropriate level of automation and monitoring, and I get a random bad-hardware incident about every 6 months. Compare that to monthly whole-cluster outages from the full-best-practices all-cattle people.
> Believe me, if cameras were sufficient people wouldn't use LIDAR

I don't necessarily think LIDAR is a bad idea, but this logic seems kind of circular. Isn't the issue that nobody knows what's sufficient? At the very least the engineers at Tesla seem to think LIDAR isn't necessary (maybe not a slam-dunk argument but humans don't use LIDAR to drive, so it's at the very least plausible computer vision systems alone are sufficient)
the one with the desktop was gnome. I think I installed gnome and gnome-extra
Like a normal driver, if it sees something unexpected or that it doesn't understand, it needs to slow down, drive carefully. No driver steps on the gas if they have something that they don't understand what it is in front of them.
Somehow, this doesn't strike me as the kind of change black people were really asking for for. Then again, who am I to speak for black Grindr users (grindees?)
It’s possible that the answer is “there are no laws that can be passed”, at least at the national level.

As someone who grew up bilingual German/English this is really hard for me, I end up getting really confused while speaking (in German) about technical to-I a because I’m never sure which words have been “eingedeutscht” and which haven’t.

So I try to do in English and end up speaking Denglish instead. :). A personal failing of course, but amusing.
The helper function is one hell of a great idea. I like it.

I get your point, and it's a fair one. Right now if you want to "prepend" you have to add a container as first child and give it a className to identify it and then use the "runModel" on it.

I like the idea of going the opposite way and I also share your thoughts about component only caring for its own state.

Thank you (again) very much for your feedback, much appreciated.
Integral | San Francisco or Boston | Full-time | ONSITE (remote until safe to return)

Integral is a technology company applying human and machine intelligence to accelerate the creation of life-changing medical treatments. We're a diverse set of engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs that are helping to build toward this vision. Integral is a privately held company founded by Flagship Pioneering, who's current ecosystem includes Moderna Therapeutics and Syros Pharmaceuticals.

We are looking for talented software and dev-ops engineers to join our nascent Core Engineering team.

Rust actually has a better standard library story than C++ here, since it actually has a segmentation between the 'core' and 'std' libraries, where 'core' contains stuff which doesn't require heap allocation. Makes it a bit easier to know what will be supported. (and tbh, the standard library is low on the list of reasons to use C++, especially in embedded)

I think Rust has a lot of potential in the embedded space. I'm especially interested in if the async stuff will have power in making small and safe state machine writing easier: I think this could be extremely good at combining the power of stackfull tasks (which are wasteful on memory and less predictable) and state machines (which can be a pain to write, especially long sequential ones). If it lets you ship a product sooner with less bugs on a cheaper micro, I think it may be a strong proposition. Unfortunately given the industry is often unwilling to even consider C++ (and not for good reason: the reasons given for not using it or not even considering it are often based of off misconceptions or just outright falsehoods).
Vetspire | Full Stack Software Engineer | Remote | Full-Time | https://vetspire.com

Vetspire is an AI-driven medical records and practice management platform for veterinarians. We’re a startup that builds the technology suite that powers veterinary hospitals, impacting every aspect of patient care from AI assistance in the exam room to managing client communications and clinical analytics.

We're looking for a full stack engineer to join our small and technical team to continue to bring veterinarians’ dreams into fruition. Your day to day work will consist of learning and understanding veterinarians' and veterinary staff needs and bringing them into reality from the front-end to the backend. Some examples of what your weeks may look like: building remote tools for pet owners to sign consent forms, pay invoices, and fill in information online so they don't have to walk into the clinics during the pandemic, creating an emergency room clinical census to monitor patients and alert staff in real-time, or designing the interface and algorithms for intelligent immunization reminders.

You'll be working directly with the thousands of veterinarians and staff using Vetspire every day, and talking with them often to better understand their needs and iterate on solutions with them. It's an incredibly fulfilling role to be able to make such a drastic difference in the lives of vets, and ultimately, everyone's pets. It's half-part engineering, half-part product management.

Our backend tech stack is a GraphQL Phoenix/Absinthe application written in Elixir, our frontend is using React with the Apollo GraphQL framework, our primary database is PostgreSQL, and it all runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.

Email me if interested at sam@vetspire.com (include "HN" in the subject).
Yup and LEO/constellation support in general (launch, maintenance, assembly, etc). It’s pretty cool what Ground Station is up to.

Actually no. As diegof79 pointed out, Perl was the first one with a centralized package management system with CPAN. Perl was first released in 1987. Python was first released in 1990. Javascript was first released in 1995. The internet was the launch pad for these open source languages, which allowed the sharing of code written in these languages.

Another thing to note is that dependencies were not that complex in the 90s. The idea of dependency management started when there was too many dependencies to manage and the existing tools could not reliably reproduce builds. My guess is that all these package use took off after the dotcom boom in 2000 and everyone started building websites with Ruby, Python and eventually Nodejs.
I found that a lot of theoretical CS terms, especially the ones established before the 60s/70s will still use the German terminology. Or if you talk about algorithms, language theory, etc.

Compare that to newer concepts like distributed computing, HTML, etc. ⇨ Using English terminology
Who was it that said (and I'm paraphrasing) - "Self-driving is easy, you could build an AI yourself that will work 90% of the time. It's writing an AI that works 100% of the time that's difficult".

He built a car that drove cross country.

It's not "cameras vs. LADAR", it's about software that needs to work flawlessly.

I love "Lean" development process, and "just get it out there", but I wouldn't write banking software that way.

Or autopilots for that matter. A blatant disregard for human lives.
> web.dev is operating on some irritating assumptions:

> 1. Smaller assets are ideal.

> 2. Minimalistic design is necessary.

This doesn't sound right to me. Aren't the three new page metrics mostly targeting what happens when the page initially loads?

https://web.dev/vitals/

> Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): measures loading performance. To provide a good user experience, LCP should occur within 2.5 seconds of when the page first starts loading.

> First Input Delay (FID): measures interactivity. To provide a good user experience, pages should have a FID of less than 100 milliseconds.

> Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): measures visual stability. To provide a good user experience, pages should maintain a CLS of less than 0.1.

The first two are about initial loading. For the last one, you can avoid layout shift by e.g. reserving space for images that are yet to load fully.

For example, it sounds like your page could load 100MB of images with the most complex design ever, and it would get a good score as long as the initial viewport of the page displays quickly, is interactive quickly, and doesn't jump around as it's loading.

They sound reasonable metrics to me in terms of fighting bloat but with flexibility for web developers (as opposed to AMP). Who gets to decide the metrics is another issue though.
So in the screenshot you're giving an email and they're just storing it without telling you before you click submit, but that AddShoppers system sounds ridiculous. I'm guessing they just provide the data and you send the emails through your own account and take the inevitable reputation hit of endless spam reports yourself after you email people who've never given you their email?
Perhaps wider events in the period 1940-7 pushed this urgent, imperative issue further down the priority list than might otherwise have been the case.
At what point do aggressive voter suppression laws by the Republican party constitute tyranny? I imagine many of those individuals targeted by those laws would say it is already well past that point.
Stuff like this is completely expected of nonlinear, high dimensional controllers (and neural networks used for object detection and decision anlaysis fit into this category)...

NN's are not fit for high-predictability, high-safety-factor control. I wonder if, in fact, we cannot construct a NN controller with the level of unusual object detection and edge-case scenario recognition required to match an average human drivers capability to recognize and react appropriately to unusual situations. I mean to say that I think this is something like an NP-hard problem... to make it one-log better you need 100x the data and 100x the NN dimensionality. Model complexity explodes...

I also think we are spending a lot of time and effort solving the wrong part of the transportation problem. Cars have a thermodynamic problem for society --> a 1500kg car to move 1-2 80kg people is very energy inefficient and resource intensive to manufacturer.

We need remote work, more home delivery options (e-truck/vehicles), greater incentive for electric bikes, and better/more public transportation.

Google's ability to surface useful results has been thoroughly defeated by SEO spammers. To a lesser extent, the same is true of other search engines (Bing, etc.) though Google is the foremost SEO spam target for obvious reasons. Given that state of things, there is some sense in promoting more user-friendly pages that are thus a bit less likely to be SEO spam.

In practice how it works in most large cities in the US is the mayor ends up deferring to police leadership because the police hold so much influence over local political conditions. Mayors that get tough on dirty cops find themselves riding a wave of crime atop the police deciding to simply stop policing certain sorts of calls or in particular areas.
I have another rule along similar lines: Anything controversial is fake for at least a few days if not longer.
>Tesla didn't detect the pedestrian and slow down

It's because pedestrians are not an object normally located on an interstate. They need to stop calling it Autopilot. I want to see the data if the drivers hands were on the wheel at the time of impact, and the eye tracking sensor data for the 30 seconds prior to impact.
It's a bit more than merely an expression[1]. The point (as I understand it) is also not to say that the state is only capable of or always legitimate in administering violence.

The same thing happened in Manhattan back in 2008 due to the financial crisis.

- 13 month rents for the price of 12

- $0 deposits

- etc

In practice, this meant that a lot of young people who were living in Brooklyn decided to move back into Manhattan. This was one of the main driving forces behind the transition of the Financial District (basically almost the southern tip of Manhattan) from an office only area to a residential area.

I actually knew someone who lived in an "apartment" building that had been converted from an office building. The layout was of an apartment but if you looked up you saw the classic perforated drop ceiling tiles of an office.
It's fair to bring that up, but I don't think it changes my point. Defending against a military force which is threatening one's independence is worlds apart from violence towards innocent civilians. That the latter was committed during revolutionary period does not mean it was justified then, nor is it justified now.
If you're willing to spend DOD type bucks you can get some insanely good (like the old boring legacy tech will keep track of a city's worth of vehicles and dismounts without getting them all confused with each other) radar. The secret sauce is in the algorithms though and lord knows how many millions of dollars and man hours have been poured into that.
C++ can be written in a compact way: in fact some of it's features are useful in that regard. But you will probably want to turn off exceptions and RTTI (two features which are unfortunately not 'zero-cost').
I don't really disagree. More sensor data can be a substitute for some human judgement. Up to a point and under some circumstances.

But neither sensors nor simply collecting lots of data is any sort of magic bullet. Whatever the enthusiasts may think.
Seems to me everytime there is a groundswell of activism, there is some element of discord (looting / rioting) which becomes the new narrative and is used to discredit the entire movement. This story has been on repeat-loop for almost a decade now.

Here is a protestor in NY claiming that looters were actually undercover NYPD detectives
https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/126693546402143027...
Another example I can think of is the video of Jon Jones taking the spray cans from couple of rioters. These rioters are caucasian and we can only assume that they were more interested in wreaking damage than on "protesting" and hence can only be incidentally related to the movement. While strictly anecdotal, this simply disproves the false narrative on conservative circles which are inevitably going to focus on the rioting / looting rather than how to improve society.
Technologically, there are things the machine can't do that human's can:

- HDR - human eyes do this really well

- Moving the camera. Humans will move their heads to perceive depth on things and to bypass obstacles. They will tilt, pitch, and yaw their heads to get views.

Google had a post on this recently.
And as for state/local legislation, here are a few things that have been done, or at least proposed: https://twitter.com/samswey/status/1266855519425384450

Bear case for self-driving: in 1 million miles of driving, roughly the number between major human accidents, do we really think these cars will not encounter one AI-complete problem.
I've been working through the Cryptopals Crypto challenges (https://cryptopals.com) over the last month-and-a-half (almost done with Set 6), and they've been extremely educational.

Attacks that I thought were just "theoretical" turned out to be very practical (sometimes even quite simple.) I've always known that one shouldn't roll their own crypto because there's so many ways to shoot yourself -- but holy hell, executing some of these attacks really drive the point through.

(Also, I've learned more number theory in the last few weeks than in my whole life!)

If anyone's interested, I've been solving them in Go (which turned out to be surprisingly convenient for many reasons), and my solutions (so far) are here: https://github.com/0xfe/cryptopals.
100% is impossible. It's how many 9s are you willing to accept. And LIDAR would add a nine or two, but Musk is just being stubborn.

> The car did eventually detect the obstacle and brake prior to impact

The driver is claiming he braked, not the car: "Huang says he slammed on the brakes once he noticed the truck, however, it was too late to stop the nearly two-ton sedan traveling at reportedly 68 miles per hour."

The lights come on just before impact, but it's hard to tell if you don't look closely. They don't show as red due to the terrible video quality.
BioShifts DB – Species Fleeing En Masse to the Poles Due to Global Warming
I agree with the idea that car-based transportation is inefficient. However, people will not get rid of it until they are forced to.
This sent chills down my spine.

We don't have much time left. Link to academic paper:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-020-1198-2

========

We know that global warming is forcing many animals around the world to flee their normal habitats, but now, an exhaustive analysis has shown marine species are booking it for the poles six times faster than those on land.

Drawing together 258 peer-reviewed studies, researchers compared over 30,000 habitat shifts in more than 12,000 species of bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals.

The resulting database, named BioShifts, is the first comprehensive analysis of its kind, and while the database is limited by our own, human research biases, the data we have certainly suggests marine species are following global thermal shifts much closer than land animals.

...

In the review, amphibians were found to be moving up slope at over 12 metres a year, while reptiles seem to be headed towards the equator at 6.5 metres a year.

Insects, which incidentally carry many diseases, were found to be moving poleward at 18.5 kilometres per year.

Relatively, that's a lot, but in the bigger picture, marine species were moving towards the poles at an average pace of nearly 6 kilometres per year, while land animals were only shifting upslope at a mean pace of nearly 1.8 metres per year (slightly faster than previous estimates for land species, but still comparatively slow).
