I’d be thrilled if self-driving cars could meet that bar, because then I can feel at least as comfortable napping in the car as I do driving it. And unlike humans, I have the expectation that my car learns when other cars crash, so I have a lot of reason to expect that once the system rolls out it will continue to improve.

I hate almost everything about Tesla and their business model but the idea of full automatic driving, once vetted to even a bare minimum level of approximate human parity, is enough to make me consider one anyway.
> and need a summary that isn't really that close to what you actually said.

Aha, so this:

> Such is the way of living in a community, where your actions will affect other people. Part of reforming yourself is attempting to undo the damage that you have caused in the past. And so part of that reformation would inherently have to be, retracting or attempting to undo the damage caused by those public statements.

> A different way to put this would be: Is it possible to reform yourself and not try to undo the damage of your past actions in some way? Are you truly reformed if you wave your hand and do not take responsibility for them?

is not at all similar to this:

> Can you really become a better person if you haven't attempted to undo harm you caused? If you have changed, part of that change is acknowledging that you harmed people, and how those actions were harmful. You can't acknowledge that you have harmed people, and then handwave that harm by ignoring it, and still say you are a changed person.

> It's inherent to self-improvement that you would want to undo the harm that you have caused, if you understand it.

> And if you don't, then can you be said to have improved?

Because to me they are relatively close retellings of the other.
An make a programmer unable to achieve highest performance when needed. We leave in supposedly free world. If you want to be "protected" be my guest and use languages with GC. Plenty of those. For somebody who need the opposite and uses "unprotected" tools - leave them alone. You have no rights to decide how other people do their work unless they're under your direct control.

Postgress or even sqlite are great if the CSV is formatted like a database, with each column a distinct field. Alas, most spreadsheets created by non-software-devs are not so strict.

Does this work for anyone on mobile? When I try to click on things it doesn't seem to register, for example- the start button.
OP here. Superhuman's framework is great, but in many enterprises the buyer and decision maker is different - most times you have to build a stronger justification for the exec sponsor to pull the trigger using the value/RoI framework unless the product is cheap enough to flow below the radar. You also need to justify why it makes sense to yank out what you have right now and replace with something else causing a lot of disruption.

Superhuman is not a b2b purchase but more of a prosumer purchase, so the framework works really well for them.

Rooftop grid-connected solar is a way to get the reliability benefit of being on the grid without having to pay your fair share of the cost of providing that reliability.
Type classes are just a way of doing module interfaces or Objective-C protocols/categories, as prior art before Haskell or Miranda came into being.

This is reporting on a limited beta release. California’s official numbers to compare are

Tesla, 0.076 per 1,000 miles, or 1 per 13,219 miles

That was from 2018 though - AP has received hundreds of updates in the meantime but they stopped testing in California.
Help me understand what strategies you used to get response from potential customers? I can't even get people respond to me. Reddit and forum bans surveys. Folks joining communities rarely respond to PM. How can I see product-market fit then?
Asymptomatic doesn’t mean unaffected. It means there are no symptoms the patient is aware of and presents with. A large fraction of the asymptomatic cases on the Diamond Princess had pneumomia.

Something i find really fun is that every specific field of study has developed its own completely general statistical tools. There's no reason they couldn't be used in other fields. They just aren't.

Geography apparently has Kriging:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriging

Economists have LOESS (okay, used beyond economics, i admit it):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_regression

Maybe geographers refuse to use LOESS because to them, that's a boring rock?

Astronomers have sophisticated deconvolution algorithms that are completely unrelated to the ones microscopists use, etc.

> Based on package.json only one author mentioned, Buu Nguyen <buunguyen@gmail.com>

If I distributed the linux kernel with a text document stating I was the sole author it wouldn't make it so. The author wont suffer legal consequences unless someone with a stake in the matter proves in a court of law where all the appropriate protections apply but the court of public opinion is both more fond of drama and less kind. To answer (b) first people are speculating on this topic for the same reason people follow news stories that have zero chance of ever effecting their lives because it has piqued their interest. Describing this as "canceling" reveals more about your perspective than it does about the issue.

To answer the more substantial (a) the facts on the ground seem to suggest that the author is sputtering, floundering, and lying. He lied about it being a rewrite. He lied about it being "ok" even if it wasn't a rewrite (which is it?) After saying he had rewritten it all he then said it was ok because he had either written or paid for "most" of the original code to be rewritten when it ought to be obvious that "most" wouldn't be strictly correct in any case.

The obvious conclusion is that he broke or didn't understand the law in the first place and never chose to hire someone who did or took their advice.

Why defend this?
> Arch definitely has separate packages for runtime and development libraries. It doesn't have as many, but they exist and can be found by simply searching for `-dev`.

They are an exception to the rule, where the benefits outweights the negatives. It's been done to ensure we have smaller container images, or if the maintaine thinks it makes sense. But as a rule, we do not care while debian does.

>Arch has `any` and then architecture specific packages:

How is the `any` arch related to package splitting?

>https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/32-bit_package_guidelin...

> There are also distros of Arch for ARM and 32bit, however if you're looking for a more integrated multi-arch PKGBUILD-comparable distro then Alpine is it and probably what I'll be migrating to at some point.

Those package guidelines exist, but are dated and not used by us, the packagers.

Arch ARM and 32bit are also seperate distirbutions that isn't affiliated with the 64bit Arch Linux distribution.
It's not relying on the other country, it's having your industry become uncompetitive and die. It's not something you'd have a choice about.
So this is essentially an optimizer (eg no bogus recursive compression claims). It decompressed specific regions of certain file formats with better algorithms.

A hypothetical (simpler less powerful) equivalent would be a program that read gzip files that have the lowest compression ratio, and then recompressed with gzip set to the highest level.

The latter is something I'd expect all the time, if I logged in to eBay from a M247 IP I'd expect the account to be suspended within minutes.
HN uses downvotes mostly to boo the people with opinions deviating from common party line. As for reasonable explanation - you're asking too much. Programming as many other things often are treated as the religion. No arguments, it just is.
You can also buy straight caffeine powder to try to make your own drinks. I made a few attempts at creating my own energy drinks with my Sodastream, flavoring, and caffeine powder... it never quite worked though. The powder just tastes like powder, and you can drink it straight with water if you just want the caffeine kick.
I am the first author on this paper. Nobody paid me anything to write this paper. In fact, it cost me money, because I had to take time off to work on it.

I'll tell you what to take with a pinch of salt: allegations that the authors are taking money from vested interests. We are not.

Rather than searching for spurious grounds to discredit the authors, I recommend you read the paper for yourself. With the help of my co-authors, I searched the literature meticulously to investigate every aspect of the review, and we have cited our sources in the usual way - 255 previous papers, mostly peer-reviewed. By all means, read critically. Take all the research in this field with a heaped spoon of salt, because there may be bias in every direction. But there's no escaping the need to read the research literature if you want to assess the evidence for yourself. I hope you find it as intriguing as I did.
My favourite "application" of this law is Kriging:

Has allowed me to make some pretty awesome spatial interpolations of water surveying and wifi quality data using unmanned robots, especially given the massive isotropic bias of the collection method that makes many other methods nonviable.
Same problems on my Pixel 3a. Looks pretty accurate. This must have been a significant labor of love.
5 hours later buunguyen's absolutely puerile response to the issue is worth considering. Instead of addressing the concern directly he attributes the issue to trolling, locks the issue as spam, and deletes all comments but the initial issue (likely because you cannot delete it) on the grounds that people are "trolling" him for his choice of license.

The behavior strongly suggests the code is stolen.
What should I use if I want to pay for a secure storage that detects faces and automatically backs up my wife's pictures?

Since switching to google photos I haven't had ONE single tech support request from my wife. That's priceless to me and worth the $100/yr alone lol
> I'd be skeptical that price controls had a larger affect on the distribution of information

I don’t think you’re understanding what information is being talked about here. If you don’t let a market of buyers and sellers determine the price of something you can’t discover the supply and demand curves nor the price floor, etc.

If the government comes out and just dictates that the price for gas is capped at $2/gal, you just end up with a bunch of shortages, rations, and lost potential oil industries because a ton of market information has bene destroyed. That is entirely independent of censorship.

You can distribute derivatives under a different, compatible license, and almost everything is compatible with the MITL.
It's fascinating how fascinated we are with categories, typologies and their exceptions. It's like Sapiens crack, especially nerd sapiens.

Here is is our linnaean classification of species. Look how these species are breaking the species barrier!

Nature, meanwhile, isn't very fussy about the concept of species. It's not even strict about the concept of an organism.. even cells or any of the classifications we use to understand bundles of biology.

A planet is a thing that orbits our sun. Hey, exoplanets! A planet is a thing that orbits a star. Hey, rogue planets. Hey, rogue solar system! Meanwhile, the universe isn't all that fussy about solar systems or galaxies.

> We all want to cling to existence somehow and want to leave a mark on the world when we leave.

Not everyone wishes to leave a mark on the world after we are gone. There are entire philosophical branches dedicated to the idea of embracing mortality and accepting that which makes us human.
Good traction is a useful proxy for stability no? Not necessarily “big names”, but being the first customer of startup would probably be an automatic no according to your criteria, no?
Our grandparents generation had more domestic violence then we do. Parents were in between. The domestic violence was much more accepted by those people. So, it is safe to say quite a few approved.

They even had jokes that approved that sort of thinking.
There are precedents for this type peer-to-peer operation, where inherently limited protocols achieve a subset of functionality with acceptable privacy implications. For example, videogame distribution clients which download using a torrent-style process.
Driving is unsafe if humans drive because humans make mistakes. It should not be when machines do. Otherwise, what is the benefits of using them? Driverless cars can, must and will be held to a higher standard.

But it is not a lofty ideal, it has been done before. And in the field of transportation. Trains used to crash all the time. Driverless trains don't. Why? Because fail safe systems have been added on railroads that nearly totally prevent this.

Don't take my word for it, the bar for rail safety is defined in well documented standards (namely, EN 50129, EN 50126 and EN 50128). It is 10-9 hourly probability of fatal failure. You can also look up "CBTC" on the Internet. This is the reference bar for driverless.

The real reason Tesla and friends don't want to go there is because fail-safe systems like a CBTC requires some form of collaboration with devices installed on the ground infrastructure, meaning Tesla should accept to become part of a system, and not "the" system. Obviously a paradigm change for the car industry.

How long will the public authority require to understand that they must step in to force a systemic collaboration and standards between infrastructure and cars to ensure driverless safety, I don't know, but I think it's time to call bullshit on the concept that you can have an acceptably safe driverless car system without it.
Oh no not this again... Let's invert the argument:

Before abolishing unified time

I want to call my Uncle Steve in Melbourne. What are the working hours there? Google tells me it is currently 7:00 to 15:00 there. It's probably best not to call right now.

After abolishing unified time

I want to call my Uncle Steve in Melbourne. When are the working hours there? it's 8:00 to 16:00, same as it is here, of course! Same as it is in New York, Bangalore and Hawaii, at the South Pole and on the Moon.

You get the point...

Indeed. That does not negate its base value even in barter.
(Though it's much lower.)

And especially items made with the use of gold can get really worthwhile - such as semiconductor chips...

So in a funny indirect way, Bitcoin is tied to gold. Both of which are tied to specific costs of labour. Bitcoin however requires a lot of expensive infrastructure to run to be worth anything. (Esp. networking, required to ensure no fake mined bitcoins are in circulation.)

Even printed cash is better at this.
I'm not doubting you but how did you check your claim? (but either way, no cellular modem doesn't mean no wireless connection)
The interesting property is embedded in the parent's use of the word "emerge" I think. It is the property of emergence that takes swarms of ants and forms an organized colony, or a network of nerves that creates intelligence.

I think it's something along the lines of.... randomized interactions of entities, constrained only by the attributes of the entities.
This title doesn’t really make sense without that “Watch” in front.
Depending on the tech, some mix of refueling station, colony or yeah passing train.

Without FTL, to spread over the galaxy we'll need to adjust our thinking on long time-scales for any of it to make sense or be possible anyway. We'll be a different species really (or _several_ different species).

If I were to bet, I'd say our more lasting contribution to the galaxy will more likely be mechanical (AI) descendants rather than ourselves, and next most likely would be barely recognizable biological dscendants (not necessarily that different from us physically, but in terms of society and mentality). That's all assuming we make it off of Earth and then away from Sol at all in any lasting way.
You're trying to make this scarier than it is with the word "implications". The only thing you can't do is to create a non-free work that uses other people's copyleft code. What you should think really, really hard about doing is writing non-free software at all.
I didn't realize that I needed half an hour therapy from playing minesweeper, yet I feel so much better now.

Comparing Data Version Control Tools – 2020
Modern Android versions have multiple tiers.

Interpreter written in Assembly for fast startup, if the application was never executed.

Followed by JIT compilation to native code and when the device is idle, the PGO data collected by the JIT is used to produce a binary for direct native execution.

As of Android 10 those PGO files are uploaded to the stores and then if a similar device installs the application, they will get the PGO data as well and thus achieve a relatively fast result for their initial compilation.

Writing functions that receive other functions as input can lead to over complicated code that's really hard to read.

I work in FP languages, and I find this type of code extremely intuitive and easy to understand.

Given the original maintainer's attitude toward copyright, I wouldn't be surprised if he just took the changes anyway, thus putting us back in the same situation we're in now, where only a DMCA takedown will stop him.
If you're talking database like transaction it "usually" leads to concurrency bugs only if the transaction level is not strictly serializable. It does not hurt to know things before labeling them.

This is a beta release, you have to be quite gullible to think anyone would deploy untested software on the roads.
>Indeed, I think it's a terrible mistake to hold historical figures to modern standards and morals. I'm sure there are things even the best among us do today that could be harshly judged in the future.

Well, to be fair, people where aghast at his position towards women when he took it as a position. Not just in modern times.

Watch some of his interviews -- he seems to think he is coming off as manly and possessive, but the female journalists interviewing him usually come off as insulted, scared, and overall disrespectful towards his misogynist attitudes. Barbara Walters saw right through his image, which is why that interview was one of the ones to go so lopsided.

He was judged plenty when he was 'modern', too. Since the judgement came about when he was young, I don't think it's too great a leap to discuss now around his death.

This isn't a case where his behavior was normalized by his time of existence : he was a misogynist during the hay-day of the first wave of Womens' Rights, he was well known to be one, and his antics and interviews were broadcast around the world.

He decided to go 'against the grain' during one of the most important civil rights movements in the United States so that he could keep his macho demeanor. His comments in no way encapsulated a standard male response, he was deliberately pushing the buttons of people to strengthen and embolden his image as a playboy misogynist.
