This kind of talk is quite small.

Here is a protestor describing in vivid detail the killing of Antonio Mays Jr. by CHOP security, minutes after it happened while his blood is still wet on the street. The video was clipped from a stream recorded by Omari Salisbury, an independent reporter who lives and works on Capitol Hill. His coverage was some of the most immediately on-the-scene (warning - disturbing):

You’re right that witnesses aren’t talking. This is part and parcel with the “didn’t see shit, don’t know shit” mantra of BLM/antifa protestors. As another user linked, there is video of protestors intentionally destroying the crime scene. Due to this lack of cooperation, Antonio Mays’ family may never receive justice.

I disagree. I think there is a profoundly bright future to be had with hyperloops, powered by a mix of solar and fusion energy.

That being said, I do believe that there are a lot of challenges to resolve along the way.

* how do we halt the release of methane from the arctic and prevent the death of the North Atlantic Current (NAC)?

* how do we make online education even better and as close to free of cost as possible?

* how do we restore trust in government and media?

* how do we free people from crushing debt, whether it be from student loans or medicine?

* how do we change the physical layout of communities so they are no longer structured around the automobile, but instead are built for remote work and raising children at home?

* how do we rapidly grow the housing stock, so that everyone has a place to live?

Solving these problems (and the many I have neglected to mention) is a difficult challenge, to be sure. I am certain of one thing though: clean technology and honestly earned wealth are our friends here, not our enemies.

A lot of great jobs will be made constructing the infrastructure required to make all this stuff happen.
Maybe, but how would you achieve that in a way that a company can't evade the criteria?
A company can split up and diversify its operations across multiple companies but still operate as one. FTE count, annual revenue, amount of offices, etc. are all things that a company can have direct influence on.

The diamond princess is a truly terrible place to try to get an estimate for R_0. A cruise ship outbreak is likely to be A) many times more infectious, and B) the countermeasures applied are likely to be many times more intense.

For instance, the R_0 of covid on the cruise ship was estimated to be around 15 in a paper published less than 2 weeks later. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7107563/

Ultimately, a cruise ship is a bad place to look for estimates on R_0 in more broadly applicable contexts, and trying to calculate R_0 so early, when the number of people actually infected is not well known, is a task doomed to failure.

I've read that Google and Apple backdoor their own processes so they can't be disabled. Google runs sensorvault, and shares that information.

As far as I can tell, Apple mainly wants to keep you in their garden, buying expensive hardware, while Google wants to sell you over and over.

Probably your best bet is to look toward a linux based phone such as Purism (expensive), Pinephone (beta quality) or make your own (not that practical).

It would probably be useful to know what you want to be able to do with your smart phone to give you better advice.
You can have that trade off already by disabling turbo boost.

I set up my steam turbines to only turn on if an accumulator fell below 20% and then stay on until the accumulator is above 90%.

Many years ago, when Hyperloop's design was first announced, tlb pointed out that steel expands during summer, and that the expansion from SF to LA was roughly 400m (if I remember correctly) over a so-and-so temperature difference during summer. Where does the steel go?

I'm not sure there's been a satisfactory answer to that question. Expansion joints are very hard when you need to maintain a vacuum.

In addition to @ratmice's comment, check out this post[1] on Existential Type. I've dabbled in Haskell myself with not much experience in ML, so I found it interesting to see how ML modules differ from Haskell typeclasses. Though they seem to be equi-expressive for the most part.

The point of a computer as a workstation is it goes vroom.

The M1 is not currently in any workstation class computer.

It is in a budget desktop computer, a throw-it-in-your-bag travel computer, and a low-end laptop.

When an M series chip can't perform in a workstation class computer, then your argument will be valid. But you're trying to compare a VW bug with a Porsche because they look similar.

One limitation is privacy and abstraction. You can hide implementation details with most ML module systems - eg. hiding the underlying type of `Node`. You can also make local definitions in the module private. It's pretty challenging to get this stuff right - there's lots of research about it.

Also, as noted in other comments, Zig's type parameters are also dynamically typed. This leads to implementation details leaking out. This is not an issue in OCaml and other ML-style languages.

I think Apple brought this on themselves when they announced it would be faster than 98%[1] of the existing laptops on the market. They didn't caveat it with "fanless laptops" or "laptops with 20hr of battery life", it's just supposedly faster than all but 2% of laptops you can buy today.

You say something like that about a low power fanless design and every tech nerd's first reaction is "bullshit". And now they want to call you on your bullshit.

Rarely will you run into anyone with this “we’re the real China,” 外省人 identity that would be offended to be called Taiwanese. Descendants of mainlanders that came to Taiwan after 1949 are a minority and Taiwanese identity is very popular here. Both Taiwanese and Waishengren will quickly point out that ROC is the original China and of course they are independent because how could they not be independent from a country that split from it. Then Taiwanese will disagree about whether China (ROC or PRC) has any right to colonize their island.

Another generation and hardly anyone will have Chinese identity, I imagine. An example I hear a lot is that the Vietnamese and Koreans also used to be Chinese.

I think you should also examine the possibility that gp is straightforwardly wrong, and that a good apology can make things better, even (or especially) in the face of being called out on Twitter. Consider how Dan Harmon reacted to Megan Ganz calling him out on Twitter: https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/1/11/16879702/dan-harmon-ap...

Doubtless many people have made things worse with "non-apology apologies" [1]. But your brain wants to say "apologizing is right" because when done right, it is right.

To me, truth and reconciliation are self-evidently how we build a better world, and refusal to take responsibility for mistakes is self-evidently corrosive to the individual and to society.

A bit off-topic, but I see places like Tweag claim to use Haskell in production for lots of things, including domains where I would never consider this language a good fit, like statistics & machine learning.

I'm very familiar with the Lisp family of languages (Scheme, Common Lisp, Clojure, Dylan, Julia...) and with some from the ML family as well (SML and Scala).

Is Haskell worth the effort for a small organization like a startup or a research lab? Would it bring something different when compared to those other languages? If so, in what domains? If one wants to have strict guarantees in the form of proofs why not using Agda or Idris instead?
The thing is, taller displays (like the MS Surface, Dell XPS, LG Gram, etc.) aren't necessarily sacrificing on width, they are just adding height. The goal is to maximize the amount of ergonomic screen real estate.

La France se libère, part deux?
I would like to stop. And by stop I mostly mean, set on a handful of tools and stop mindlessly passing from language to language, framework to framework, cloud provider to cloud provider, trying to find the _perfect_ one. I think it would be better to just pick something, anything really, and become very good at it.

In the past decade I've built production apps in C#, Java, Go, Ruby, Javascript, Python, using AWS, Azure, GCP, backed by DynamoDB, Postgres, Snowflake, MySQL. I've used dotnet, Unity, Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, Spring, DropWizard, Gin, Gorilla Mux, Node, React, Express Flask, Django. Probably more. I didn't use any of them long enough to become what I would call an "expert", but I used each of them long enough to dislike various components in favor of other pieces from other languages/frameworks. I kinda just learned that nothing's ever going to be "My" language, like I see for other people all the time. They'll always just be "meh" at best, but I should probably just pick a devil to know, rather than hoping to find magic somewhere.
Assuming that geekbench is reflective of actual perf (I'm not yet convinced) there is also the GPU, and the fact that AMD is sitting on a 20% IPC uplift and is still on 7nm.

So if they release a newer U part in the next few months it will likely best this device even on 7nm. An AMD part with a edram probably wouldn't hurt either.

It seems to me that apple hasn't proven anything yet, only that they are in the game. Lets revisit this conversation in a few years to see if they made the right decision from a technical rather than business perspective.

The business perspective seems clear, they have likely saved considerably on the processor vs paying a ransom to intel.

edit: for the downvoters, google Cezanne, because its likely due in very early 2021 and some of the parts are zen3. So apple has maybe 3 months before another set of 10-15W amd parts drop.
The article's author agrees with you that there may be a bright future for Hyperloop replacing air travel.

The author believes that the (technical AND political) challenges to resolve along the way are so substantial, that you're not going to see them solved until 2200.

The author then points out that all the firms working on building one seem to operate more like Theranos, or Bernie Madoff's investment firm, and less like Tesla or SpaceX.

> The company celebrated the achievement by releasing a modest video comparing it to, among other things, the moment the Wright Brothers flew the first planes.

Just so everyone knows, the Wright Brothers became well-known in the aviation community based on their work developing and flying gliders and inventing the 3-axis control system. Once they actually started flying powered airplanes, they became secretive and everyone stopped believing them, considering them to be complete frauds.

A few people saw them fly in Kitty Hawk. A few dozen people saw them fly in Ohio with new and refined designs, etc. But still they were ignored.

It was only a few years later, in France, that they blew everyone's mind with a completely new design and started flying around Paris.

They got the credit for flying in Kitty Hawk retroactively. You don't want your product to be compared to the Wright Brothers and the first flight!
I will just point out this basically proves my point. The question was what norms changed. I said a candidate won an election and some people won't acknowledge that which goes against previous norms. This is a simple fact confirmed by basically every credible news org in the country, but it is now apparently enough to be considered a "garden-variety political flamewar post".
I think the biggest way API design is stuck in the past is predicated on the thinking that because the code is available, the degree of documentation we need is diminished.

This isn't a rant about documentation. It's about the cognitive dissonance caused by making the internals of our code for ourselves but then expecting all of the users to read - or more likely, step through - that code to figure out why it's behaving oddly with empty strings.

What I'd like to see us do is to make the shape and contents of the stack frames one of the criteria by which we judge the quality of our code. This also affects the quality of the error stack traces, but it's more of a 'pro' than a reason.

Most of the time I'm only reading your (general you, not just API designers) because I am having an issue. It's a basic psychological reaction that the people near a pleasant or unpleasant experience are partly blamed for that feeling. If I'm trying to be sympathetic to that, or my user, then I have to think about my code as something people mostly look at (and almost entirely remember) when they're already having a bad day.

Any work I do to honor that relationship has often paid dividends the next time I'm having a hard day, and especially when we're having a hard day together (eg, a production outage or a missed milestone)
Did you miss the part where the parent reply said "opted in enabling Siri"?

I mean, if you enable a completely optional feature that requires giving up a bit of privacy for its literal intended functionality, how is it Apple's fault? And unlike Cortana on Windows 10, you can disable Siri feature just with a click of a button, or you can just click a button to not enable it in the first place. When you start your new Mac for the first time, it asks you very explicitly if you want it enabled or not.

> Is public money going toward this?

Pretty much all the private investment in hyperloops is to get to the point of selling it for public infrastructure projects (it was originally proposed as an alternative specifically to California High Speed Rail), so, while the answer is mostly “no” in the strict present sense of “is”, it's also “yes” in the sense of the intended goal of the projects.
good point! kind of absurd, but then again I'm the type of person to buy a 9700k and overclock it to 5GHz just to get more frames in csgo.
I don’t see that as evidence of blatant bias for Intel. The site is just aimed at helping the average consumer pick out a part, and I think the weighting makes sense.

Most applications can only make use of a few CPU-heavy threads at a time, and these systems with with 18 cores will not make any difference for the average user. In fact, the 18 core behemoth might actually feel slower for regular desktop usage since it’s clocked lower.

If you are a pro with a CPU-heavy workflow that scales well with more threads, then you probably don’t need some consumer benchmark website to tell you that you need a CPU with more cores.

That sounds interesting, but what is the game here? Fractal factories where you build the internals, it memoizes a series of states, and then you can use that as a black box when building the layer above? Actually that does sound pretty cool.
This article is completely lacking in historical perspective. There was a time when commercial aviation was a luxury reserved for the rich; one need only look at the configurations of aircraft like the DC-2 and the Boeing 317 to understand that. Between 1935 and 2020, flight became a tool to help enrich the lives of masses of middle-class people.

The hyperloop has a relatively small chance of positively impacting many people's lives, and possibly making medium-distance transportation more energy efficient; it's not a sure thing, but it would be wonderful if it works.

The technique of observing syscalls has clear benefits.
