Unfortunately, both.

It shouldn't happen, but in practice (on another OS, but I doubt there's a correlation between cognitive capabilities and preferred mobile device vendor, lol) people were installing those "brightest" flashlight apps mindlessly granting them every single permission they ask for.

The machines can't yet analyze appropriateness of the request. That's where human moderation comes into play.
Thank you. Quite a few options out there in terms of LISPS and a beginner like me can be quite confused. I started looking at SBCL, Chicken Scheme and Racket and since I'm a newbie I'll stick with racket for the learning phase. I seem to like more the uniformity of Scheme over the cl for example. Do people usually specialize in one or the other or use them interchangeably depending on libraries and such? Another slight barrier has been learning Emacs and that's another reason I chose racket. I like what Emacs is capable but I most likely revisit later.
Indeed Uber allows drivers to set fares in California. I'm not sure if that's true of Lyft though?

If I'm paying for a service, I expect to be able to speak to someone when that service breaks. If Google Cloud breaks my GKE cluster, it's unreasonable that I can't get anyone to go and fix it without having to pay extra money.

If I break it, sure, fine, no problem. IF it's their fault, I expect to be able to hold them to account.
If you're an IC, you have to pay Self-Employment Tax to cover the employer's part of the payroll tax deductions. Plus you're also liable for all the usual payroll taxes. That burden doesn't go away just because you get a 1099 instead of a W-2. So it's the drivers who are in theory paying in to healthcare subsidies and Medicare.

A possible novel opportunity could be truly physically secure servers: if you put the server in space, it's really expensive to physically interfere with it (potentially impossible if you launch towards outer space instead of Earth orbit), but you can still communicate with it. I'm not sure that there's any market for that at current launch costs though.

I actually do all that stuff. I run desktop Linux. I don't have a Google account, a Facebook account, a LinkedIn account, or an Instagram account.

It's a pain. This is not a solution for the average user. I can't even use Uber, for example.

Space acts as a thermal insulator most of the time because radiation is the only means for a spacecraft to get rid of waste heat. Thermal radiators also only work if they can be oriented that they don't face the Sun.

The exhaust of a nuclear thermal rocket isn't waste heat. The heat from the reactor that heats everything that is not propellant is waste heat. Getting that heat to radiators without cooking people or melting/weakening load bearing structures is the challenge with nuclear reactors in space. On Earth we use literal tons of water and air to the job.

OMG me too. I was having an eye exam. The technician had a black field with a bunch of lines. Holding a rod with a white dot, and told to let them know when it disappeared.

I laughed, "Well that will only happen if you put it behind your back."

They laughed, "Everyone has an astigmatism where the nerves enter the eye. We are looking for that or any other issues."

I was so shocked when the dot disappeared.

Also happy to hear it was the normal blind spot.
The Promise of AGIs That Grow Themselves
After a few years' break from professional s/w dev, I'm really trying to get into the docker-based dev mindset.

You can use docker (or, less efficiently, a full-blown VM) for any purpose, but it looks like the killer app that has emerged appears to be devops. I guess same goes with k8s, as well as Chef/Puppet/Salt/Ansible/whathaveyou.

However, I'm noticing there is a new way of doing s/w dev emerging, let's call it modern software development, which utilizes some of these tools to maximize s/w dev productivity. I'm just not clear what is the best way to approach this.

The core issue is obviously dependency hell, and install-reinstall-reconfigure hell.

I guess a useful way to think is, what if I want do to web-dev, and android-dev, and, iOS dev, but I don't want these dev environments to interfere with each other, and all these dev environments should be available accessible on a single workstatation or powerful laptop.

I guess I could have docker for web-dev, docker for android-dev, and so on. I came across docker compose, and then I heard it's known to be cumbersome for dev-environments, and someone created binci to address those problems (though it's not a well-known tool).
To achieve AGI requires simply the virtualization of the same process that allows life and brains to recreate itself.

I guess that is how automation starts. The automated part builds the bulk and then a human can attach things together. Eventually you can teach a system (robot) to do the part a human once did. With this you can even feed what the human did back into the system and the system learns.
Sure, if animals would be like humans, they would behave like humans. But that's not an argument to excuse what humans are doing.

If I was just like some serial killer, then I'd also behave like a serial killer. Does that mean the other serial killer should not get punished? No. It just means that I should be pun8ished too if I was like them.

But I'm not really arguing humans-vs-animals. I'm arguing against world-is-dark-humans-are-light. It's the world that's light and humans who make it dark, for other humans. With exceptions of course.

Cancer is a bad example. It doesn't have an agenda. It's just a side effect of some mutation or such. Sure we can consider it dark. But compared to humans who actually have an agenda, i.e., they choose to be dark, that's a different ballpark.
This is a symptom of the core, underlying problem. The coupling between employer, employee and health care needs to be undone. Employers aren't healthcare providers, we don't need additional middle-men and bureaucracy dictating, by proxy, how people receive care and from who. Universal healthcare would let Uber and Lyft continue to do what their primary focus is, and drivers would be able to do whatever they want work-wise and not have to worry about its affect on their ability to receive healthcare at an affordable price.
I have one simple rule to determine if a company is a tech company or not: Do they view tech (especially software) as a profit center or a cost center.

Why does it seem common for people to knock modifiers for degree/intensity with words.

The statements "That's nice." and "That's really, truly nice." give off very different messages.

One of them I'm not even sure if you're being short or dismissive/not interested, and I have to do mental gymnastics to figure out what the underlying tone is.

Just one or two words makes a massive (see what I did there) difference in tone + perception.

This is half the reason why it's hard working remotely. I put so much effort into being overly polite/nice with tone because you lose out on all other social cues and it's easy to mistake an ambiguous message.

> Track unlimited websites on one dashboard

It means that there is one overview page, where you can see last 14 days graphs, 24hours visitors count and number of live visitors for all the websites tracked at once.

> does this software phone home or lock itself down

I am not sure what this means. Currently there is no domain lock, so you can install multiple dashboards on multiple servers. The only "phone home" that it does was recently added, and it just checks the userTrack server for version updates in order to offer one-click updates of the platform.

> usually scale out rather than up

I understand. From what I heard from existing users, performance is really good with userTrack, there are users who get 300k+ monthly sessions on cheap server and performance is good. That being said, the current license allows you to install userTrack on multiple servers (that you own). The only drawback, as mentioned in the first point, is that you will lose the ability to easily see all stats in one place or switch between domain stats in the dashboard.

What is the scale you are expecting to use userTrack at (1k MAU, 100K MAU, 1M+ MAU) ?

> I am not sure about D, but Go also uses escape analysis so that data structures are allocated on the stack instead of the heap when possible which can help to reduce garbage and hence memory usage.

D sometimes does this but for the most part it depends on how you write the code. strings, large arrays, and class objects are typically GC'd but struct instances and small arrays are often not.

The code in the blog post appears to mostly use small stack memory.

The only weird thing i see in the blog post is 30 second compile. Yikes, this should be more like 3 second from scratch, max - it must use some heavier-than-necessary dependencies.

I was amazed at the series Breaking Bad, that a teacher would take a summer job to make ends meet. At a carwash no less.

The IRS driving reimbursement rate where I am is $0.575/mile. So, if you make less than that, it seems as if you're not making money (as an 'average' driver). You'll just be trading the mileage on your tires/transmission/axels for cash today.

For what it's worth, I agree that the advice in the article is badly wrong. I'm just saying that building a rocket is fundamentally different than building a software product because a rocket is well-specified in advance. To you point, the MVP is different from the product as it will exist once fully realized. And the reason is because you don't know in advance how users will respond. You're not trying to satisfy the physics of rocket flight, but trying to please actual human beings who have weird and idiosyncratic preferences. So you build something (an MVP), let them use it and then incorporate their feedback into the next iteration. I'm with you in the sense that once you have a concrete MVP that you want to build, then you should approach building it as you would approach building a rocket. It's just that you may find that user didn't actually want a (proverbial) rocket, they wanted a helicopter.
The LLC won't protect the company you're working with from AB5. You would need to form an S-Corp and put yourself on payroll with benefits, or work through a staffing agency on W2, or become the company's employee, or move out of CA. In other words, your only options are to become an employee of a company or leave CA.

Of course, its probably not in your best interest to mention this to the company you want to work with since they'll probably just choose to work with someone outside of CA instead. Just be glad their legal counsel (if they have any) doesn't know enough about this law to cause you more headaches.
This is helpful. I agree about transparency in impact. I also understand that it is often difficult to measure that impact quantitatively when you are a charity.

I started off with 'You are Harry Potter. You return to Hogwarts'.

It's designed so everything is written in second person like that, and for the most part you can just hit enter, giving it another action involving a character or place if it gets stuck or goes miles off topic

Sometimes the responses are vaguely on topic, like 'The memories of your parents' death haunt you every day. They were killed by Lord Voldemort. Your mother was his first victim. Your father followed shortly after' and sometimes it's a lot of rubbish or gets the rules of the world completely wrong. Mine had a long conversation about movies and detentions involving various assorted Harry Potter characters, a dream sequence involving a giant girl and a wizard called Bruno explaining that last time he saw Harry's lowly hedge-witch mother she was terrified Harry would send her to the gallows. But then, I'm willing to believe actual Harry Potter fiction is nearly as inconsistent
Since MacOS Sierra the “Anywhere” option is not visible per default in the System preferences. To set Gatekeeper to “Anywhere” you‘ll need to do it via terminal:

Whoa this thread is way more harsh than I would have expected. Coding isn't always about maximizing development speed or avoiding arbitrary dogmas. Some things are just fun to code, and parsing S-expressions is one of those things. I'm glad the author shared their experience and actually plans to use it in a game. Better than writing the parser for fun and then throwing it away.

Also, the author admits they didn't go to University for CS. You know what you do as part of your CS degree? You write a parser for S-expressions. This is a curious and driven programmer learning CS and sharing their discoveries. No need to berate them for not embedding a scheme....

Fast iteration can be achieved with compiled game logic as well, it all comes down to how things are factored in your project.

An excellent example most with OpenGL experience may be familiar with is supporting hot reloading of GLSL for fast vfx development iteration. It's a compiled language, it gets compiled at runtime without significant delay, and most of us making games have created simple tools to support live editing of GLSL, maybe even supporting it in-game for dev builds.

The demoscene has even turned it into a form of competitive performance art:

Edit:

Forgot to mention Casey also goes through support of hot-reloading game logic using C in the Handmade Hero series on YouTube.
This is not all that good, to be honest. Maybe I’m shit and my inputs are shit as well, but this is a step around ELIZA. It looks like it hooks itself around few nouns or sentence constructs and pattern matches them from whatever it has in its “database” and tries to construct like a kidnapper’s letter - a piece consisting of multiple fragments that make no sense together.
That’s also my question after reading this post. When trying to shave off milliseconds by going for a full rewrite, moving away from ruby seems like an obvious decision...at least intuitively..
Sure, if is not the excuse that the wall garden if for the user safety or for the user privacy and in fact it makes things more expensive for the user and it prevents user getting informed then we change to the excuse that is Apple hardware and Apple can fuck their customers as long as is legal and PR is good enough,

Yes? This isn't a school classroom. It's okay to cheat on the test. You know who's best at handling this because you know they handled it last time. You ask your boss to ask his boss to get on the line with Chou Jih-Haw and ask for some of his best people. They're an allied nation with close ties who want even closer ties. They will gladly help.

And this isn't news. People were saying this in February, in March, in April. People whose full time job is other things knew this.

I don’t understand, why is that surprising? After all the reason behind this bill is to prevent unfair labor conditions. It is literally the job of labor unions to push forward and lobby for bills like these.

I think you are guilty of bad faith reasoning here. First you state that “big labor unions want more power” and your evidence for that claim is “Labor unions push for bills that prevent bad labor practices”.
You could still scale the dashboard server as it's plain LAMP stack, so you can even separate the DB on one (or multiple servers) and the Apache/PHP on one (or multiple, load balanced servers).

I never tested such setup, as a single server can handle a lot of traffic and don't have yet any enterprise client (that I know of) which has performance issues.
Sure, Uber drivers aren't forced to work at Uber specifically, but everyone is obligated to work in a capitalist society if they want to survive, so it is important that employers in general are bound by laws that protect workers.

In this case, California created new laws in response to employee abuses at Uber and Lyft.

This notion that Uber and Lyft drivers can afford to quit and find a new career is infantile. The real world does not work that way, and people who labor for low wages should be protected from abuse.

BTW, "it takes a photon over 100,000 years to exit the Sun" is misleading - it sounds like there's a single photon that's generated deep inside the Sun's core and winds its way through like a cicada until it emerges at the surface.

In reality, any photon traveling inside the Sun will almost instantly collide with some other particle, which may emit zero, one, or more photons as a result. When we say "100,000 years", I believe we're summing up the total of these photons' expected lifetimes, basically following the flux of energy rather than individual photons.

The distinction comes down to whether something rises to the level of conspiracy, if you were hypothetically aware of a crime before it was committed. Beside that, however, burglary in the United States is not a federal felony, which is the specific charge being discussed here.

I shared a general legal principle. If you become aware of the commission of a felony and leave a significant amount of evidence showing that you intended to conceal it, it’s absolutely open and shut, and you will be treated as an accomplice. All Americans have a duty, whether they like it or not, to disclose commission of a crime for investigation. Failure to do so can lead to liability down one of several paths. This is one of them.

Freedom of speech is completely irrelevant.
