H1B only needs to be obtained once and almost always terminates in a greencard. A Chinese Z visa...you need to go through the motion every year, and if your employer decides they no longer want you, you have 30 days to leave the country or find a new job that will miraculously be able to renew your visa quickly.

The government isn’t going to say no, but alibaba doesn’t play nice like an American company with a Chinese branch office (MS China, for example).

It takes me an inordinate amount of time to place objects into the dishwasher so that it doesn't have 50% wasted space. Also if you eat East Asian dishes you will have tons of sticky bits of rice, and a dishwasher never seems to be able to scrub them. (Maybe it will if I run it extra hot, but then it will damage plastic lids. You can't win.)
Unfortunately, looking at it I doubt they would get the price point down to $1.8k easily. Maybe $5k at a push, but more than likely some consumer edition might cost more or less the same.

That said, I doubt this bot will ever make it to the stage of being a consumer bot. The sorts of problems that need to be solved are on the scale of that of autonomous vehicles, probably even harder.

BLAS/LAPACK isn't that much of an issue, since Apple probably will need to ship their own implementation of this for Apple Silicon to get reasonable performance, and they can implement this in C, assembly, or whatever they want.

If they don't do that, then you can just use any "generic" C BLAS/LAPACK implementation, performance will be poor, but that's pretty much the only option if your hardware vendor doesn't support BLAS.

I guess people can write their own BLAS as well, but if you want to re-implement BLAS in 2020, then Fortran is probably not the best language to do that.

Synthesizers have a similar scene. An official Keith Emerson Moog Modular Replica reissue a few years ago was being sold for >$100k. (Note to those under 40: Keith Emerson was a famous/notorious rock keyboardist in the 1970s.)

Not sure about now, but 20 years ago all it took to get into the in-state university system was SAT scores and a GED.

For most of human history people either had nothing to read, or they didn’t need to read to grow into productive adults. Instead they would listen to stories and learn skills from parents and other adults in their community. I was refuting the claim that formal schooling is necessary to get an education.

I would agree that reading is a fundamental skill in modern society. Children can learn to read young and very quickly, with just a little help. I could read books at 4 (I was not unschooled or homeschooled, but I wanted to read). My kids learned to read before 5 and it wasn’t that hard to teach them. We kept lots of books on all kinds of subjects in the house and if our kids wanted to learn more about something we got more books or took them to the library. If they got very interested we found mentors, tutors, other kids (of all ages) with the same interest.

Beauty is a gift but not a privilege. I don't think the attention you get or you don't get for it is valuable or is going to change your life.

Sure, some of the people around you are going to pay more attention to you but you will not earn anything for it. No investor is going to invest on you because you are beautiful. You don't get to control your life only because you are beautiful.

It's other talents that you have and the choices you make that really helps you to construct your life. And you get more privilege when you are more successful. If someone is extremely beautiful and made a career in beauty or fashion, it's not because (s)he is beautiful. Otherwise every naturally beautiful person could make it.
In 2014, I was at Google and went to an open house event at the Google robotics lab in SF. The people I met there were nice. I almost applied for a job there. Then I looked up the person who would have been my boss. He was scowling in his Google profile photo. His LinkedIn showed him as founder of a robotics company, with no mention of Google. He obviously wanted to be the CEO of a robotics company, not a director in Google.

Google acquired many robotics companies in 2013. I believe most of the acquired companies' leaders had contracts requiring them to stay at Google for 4 years.

Did Google delay the progress of robotic technology by 4 years?

The VC model obviously helps enable human progress in many situations. But surely not all situations. How can we know when the VC model will be a net loss for humanity?

> 'Happiness' is not always the measure we are looking for

I think it absolutely is. Certainly we don't want "local happiness": we should not trade overall life happiness for temporary happiness. But otherwise, yes, ultimately my goal in life is to be happy. For individual tasks and events, we have to accept that some things that make us temporarily unhappy will lead to the larger goal of overall happiness, and use that as motivation to get through the unpleasant stuff.
Yes. I am sure there are many, but here's one stupid reason:

A SQL injection tool for effortlessly saving time on escaping quote marks
From the website:
"This is a tool first I made for myself and then made public to craft sql injection commands without any problems of unescaped quote marks. Just type your text and it will be converted to a concat'ed expression adjusted to your db engine."

Since I know your privacy concerns I didn't put google analytics, google fonts or ads. Just a few lines of javascript to convert the strings.

I hope it will make your life easier.
You should learn what unschooling means. It’s not about curriculum or not attending any classes. I suggest Ivan Illich’s book “Deschooling Society.” As long as your frame of reference is modern formal schools you can only interpret alternatives from that perspective.
Amusing. This is still pretty common. In fact, I'd say there are more of these than before. The change you perceive is more likely to be a characteristic of you and your social circle (perhaps you are older, perhaps the friend who would have done that is now taking care of his firstborn, perhaps you've outgrown those groups).

You'll see this same thing in so many different places. People will say "It's not the same now. Back then it was like X". Most commonly, it's more like X than it is different, but the person saying it has changed.
I wonder why this is allowed to persist? Have there been any studies across benchmark suites relative to compiler and platform? What was the spread? Was this general purpose, it works well enough speed or was this I need to get 1.75% better on task x or my super computer budget is blown?

I find the whole Fortran ecosystem and lineage fascinating for some reason. Like an alternative universe where integers are only used for loop counters.
Sure, as with any ORM.

But then you have also stated the point: systems language, which is the perfect use case for Rust. The original article talks about a "server language", as in application server, and my whole point was that for building business applications this is a weakness, not a strength.
The goal of product documentation is that new devs (and future you) are able to get the info they need.

This doesn't mean that it needs to be entirely from a wiki.

In my experience, wikis are rarely up-to-date because
1) shared ownership === no ownership
2) too high expectations --> people publish less

I recently surveyed a bunch of devs on their knowledge sharing and learned that for most devs, private notes are actually more useful than wikis.

Private notes are easier to keep up-to-date because they can be messy and because they have a clear owner. You can then share them as needed.

Working on a product to help devs write better private notes and share as needed. The difference is that you write notes like you're texting yourself. This lets you be fast and loose. But then your notes are modular. Modular notes are easy to organize/share granularly.

What Are the Advantages of DevOps on the Cloud?
The article addresses this; if your parents had kept you out of school with the explicit goal of guiding you through self-directed study, and actually followed through with that the entire time, you likely would have had a better experience.

Neglect is just, unfortunately, neglect, and I'm sorry you had to go through that.

I really hope you won't continue discouraging homeschooling for your friends' kids. It can clearly be a great experience for a child, if the parents are dedicated to putting in the work to make it so.
Agreed. If extending the domain from guitars to beers or wines, then how about to cars? Can anyone tell the difference between a Veyron and a Ford F100? I hope so.

Hint: the Ford has a gun rack in the rear window;the Bugatti has a V-16.
> People are losing their jobs for defending their property.

I'm interested in which cases you're referring to here.

I'll add a caveat that small numbers of outlying events which might have been excessive or wrong do not invalidate the notion that society shouldn't hold people accountable for their actions or be judged on their opinions. That's an existing concept, what's happening is a reframing of what's acceptable, which is something that has happened many times in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
It's hard to think of him as a celebrity, even. He felt just like a guy you'd hang out with at work or after work.
GCC supports ARM targets and the macos platform. It took a couple of hours to add support for the new target triple to Rust, so it should take about the same work to add support to it for each of the GCC frontends (10x couple of hours ~ couple of days, maybe a week).

You don't need to implement neither hardware support nor OS support, just combine the two things that are already implemented, and fix a couple of incompatibilities, but not many (some parts of OS support will be x86 only and these would need fixing, but fixing these should be trivial since you can c&p from the arm+iOS code).

Why would it take months to add support for this to GCC? GCC's architecture would need to be really flawed for this to be true, i.e. , requiring you to re-implement a big chunk of hardware support for each OS, or full OS support for each new hardware. Given how many architectures and OSes GCC supports I just can't imagine this being true.

Unless by this work taking months, you mean "not doing anything the first 99% of the days, and doing all the work in the last couple of days". In that case, sure, this can take as long as you want.
> There’s been a huge push in recent times for balance, wellness and rest. People are quick to point out how burning the midnight oil translates to diminished capacity and actually increases your rate of errors, but I’ve never seen consistently great work from people unless they too, were working deep into the night on projects they believe in.
> Without consulting Stack Overflow, describe the “...” operator in Perl.

I don't know Perl. But I'm prepared to do that exercise for APL if you want.

> As for other one-liners, when the one line is actually five instructions squished together inside a ternary operator, you’re probably better off expanding it to an if statement and consuming ten lines of vertical space.

That's exactly what I'm disputing. We know that bug count correlates with line count, and that the chance of bugs increases greatly once a function or class no longer fits on a single screen. So I suspect that squishing five instructions together inside a ternary operator actually makes for fewer bugs.

> I'm mostly interested in docker et al for the isolation aspect. The "ships the app with all its dependencies" is an interesting byproduct

And that's why i use Jails instead (or LXC if you're on Linux). None of the layers. Any vulnerability is in the "base" image, and easily spotted, and can be hotfixed using normal package tools.

Docker is a mess. Most containers consist of minimum 4 "base images", each of which can contain vulnerabilities. All done to save the "overhead" of installing Python on top of a base Debian image, or whatever your flavor of poison is.

Instead i use Ansible for reproducibility, and scripts for updating/upgrading.

Another advantage to jails is that they're just plain directories in a hosts filesystem, allowing existing vulnerability scanners to scan the entire stack from a single host, instead of using containers that needs to be scanned individually.
Detecting how heavy an object is would be possible - also those grippers will simply not grasp something too heavy. Your big problem will be simply in not detecting some object that coat-hangers it.

Let's not pretend a consumer model is even remotely ready though, these scenarios are highly contrived. The goal at the current time is research, and at that price point there are a few options available.
His talk[0] at sloan school when he was young is also good.

Classic flamebait. This is like a top-class early 2000s Slashdot comment. I almost felt the nostalgia wash over me.
Comparing AVIF vs. WebP file sizes at the same DSSIM
I don't think this holds true here. If parents neglect a child, they're not going to do well, full stop. "Neglect" is what the parent specifically called his experience. Unschooling cannot be successful in an environment where the parent is neglecting the child; the article even addresses this with three examples from their study where the parents quickly failed in their task to guide their child's education, self-directed or not.
> “I had this idea that there are these assistive grabbers that people with disabilities use to grasp objects in the real world,” he told us. Kemp went on Amazon’s website and looked at the top 10 grabbers and the reviews from thousands of users. He then bought a bunch of different ones and started testing them. “This one [Stretch’s gripper], I almost didn’t order it, it was such a weird looking thing,” he says. “But it had great reviews on Amazon, and oh my gosh, it just blew away the other grabbers. And I was like, that’s it. It just works.”

There's a few "grabbers"/"reachers" that have a gripper that looks pretty similar to the Stretch's; I'm not sure if there's an "original" that the others are clones of: https://amzn.com/B07RR6N9C7 https://amzn.com/B0812B4TF1 https://amzn.com/B01MAW25UW

CBA Weekly Overview: Guangdong Wins Its 13th CBA Regular Season Champion Title
Many things are easier in LXD, like building a highly available, fault tolerant cluster of container and vm-instances.

You can deploy on the cloud of your choice or directly on bare-metal.

You can use REST API, Python API, Golang API, PHP API, Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Dockerfile, Fabric, Capistrano or shell scripts whatever you are familiar with to build container or VM images and also manage running instances. You are not limited by Dockerfile format with mixture of shell scripts only to built images. It's a much easier way to handle containers then learning the complexity of Dockerfile, Kubernetes, Help Charts various YAML (designed for google kind of operations for billions of users).

Just check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnBu7t2wD4U and see how easy it is to setup 3 node fault tolerant cluster. Now with 4.3 it's mature and very resilient.

It's more secure by default than an equivalent Docker or Kubernetes based system as it runs VM and Containers in user namespace for a very long time since LXC 1.0 release. Docker itself started it's life with LXC and moved away from it and became popular with marketing and venture capital money.
That's the part I understood, but what does primo mean?
It is, she was on life support for about a week, the doctors had said that there was no chance she would ever wake up, so her parents decided to take her off life support and donate her organs. I can't even begin to understand what they must've gone through, such a terrible thing to happen to anyone.

I went to see her the night before (as did many of her friends), it's very unsettling knowing this is the very last time you'll ever get to see that person. And especially given her age, it's very upsetting how unforgiving life can be.
It's not "outrage culture", it's being considerate and thoughtful, which is something most of us practice every day.

You can frame it as "bowing down" either way. The other option is to "bow down" to those who do no want to change but have no good reasons beyond that it's what they are used to and, typically, negative partisanship (that on principle they object to anything promoted by the other side of the political divide, simply because). People need to find better arguments than emotionally & illogically driven defensiveness.
1) Most expensive individual third-party components would be all the servos together, then the computer, then the realsense, then the lidar. All the custom body panels and custom cut carbon fiber extrusions are expensive now, cheap when scaled.

2) 5,000 - 50,000? Right now it's about twice as expensive per kilo as a Lamborghini Aventador, and they only made ~4,000 of those. It needs to be 18x cheaper to hit your price target, and that wouldn't be impossible at scale. A big chunk of the price tag is generous margin (because they don't know how many they'll sell) and paying for the software, which amortizes well. Those costs go away at scale, but then you need to spin up tech support and a repair department. I do tech support for educational robots, and I can tell you it's not... simple, or profitable.

Getting to that number would be hard. The design of the robot is wonderfully simple, (great! delightful!) but it's too easy to clone: the only complicated bit is the telescoping arm. Everything else is open source or commodity parts off the shelf. If they actually do sell a thousand of these, the Chinese will rush in and eat their margin. I hope either they have patents and some aggressive lawyers, or friends high up in the Biden administration, because if the design is successful, their company won't survive international competition.

Unless you're talking about overheating to the point of shutting down, the CPU/GPU getting to 100+ degrees and throttling is quite common and expected in thin laptops - it's a design choice to prefer light weight and thin over decent cooling and/or underclocking/undervolting and to only throttle near the limit rather than at lower temperatures.

Once upon a time there was colonialism, now it is neo-colonialism. However, think from the perspective of the countries, even if the leaders are influenced by short term thinking and Chinese bribes, they will undoubtedly feel that having Chinese money in is better than nothing.

The Iran-China talks for 400 bn $ investment is the latest example.

Also people feel that slavery or cheap labor will disappear if people stop buying, boycott brands etc. The unfortunate reality is that people will do what they can to survive. Although in the case of China, they use it more as a method for cultural and economic subjugation. I am not sure how bad the conditions are, but i can definitely wager they will not be as bad as many other poorer countries. So from the perspective of an average Uighur person who wants employment and peace in life, it might even be a step up.
for sure, and it is a minimum. Not sure how it works exactly, but if a device fails prematurely (within some reasonably determined expected lifetime) due to manufacturing errors you can claim warrant for longer. You might need legal counsel to actually get it though.
Things it can't do (extended):

- operate in your particular setting (it's likely over-trained for that specific environment)

- run for long periods of time as a fully autonomous robot

- be anywhere near small humans or animals

- do any of the tasks in the video with any kind of speed or precision

- learn new tasks

- handle multiple objectives, or even process the request of a single objective reliably

This is nowhere near being consumer grade. It'll either ship half-baked or you'll have to get on the "it's just around the corner" train, along with the autonomous vehicle guys.
I'm just stunned at how much effort they went in to carving and painting wood.
I personally like this model [1]. Cheap. Sometimes they can get uncomfortable or even fall out in the middle of the night, but usually if I reseat them, they are fine.

The trick to getting them in easily is to squish and lick them. Totally gross, but you get used to it and it really works well. I wash mine every morning with water and just keep reusing them for a while.

Agreed with the other, you rarely sleep through stuff you really need to wake up for like a phone alarm next to you.
