Umm why not?

I mean, its clear that all knowledge probably can't (probably can't encode all knowledge in english either), but it seems intuitively obvious to me that there exists a useful subset of knowledge that can be, given sufficient effort. I think ability to encode useful knowledge in principle in semantic triples is about the only problem the semantic web doesn't have.
So it becomes a civil matter between the state and the vehicle I assume? Registered owner automatically becomes the liable party?
Speed limiters and cruise control are pretty common in modern cars. You can set your mental intended speed lower and won't drift as much. This is from experience of switching to a car with speed notification beeper (very low tech) - it took maybe 2 weeks to stop drifting over almost completely without paying extra attention. We ended up treating it as a game with gf - shortest time for a 300km drive with no beeps.
It's kind of scary that the stock market just hit an all time high, and we're talking about an economic recovery next year. How is the (apparent) disconnect this large?
I bought my first arduino because I wanted information radiators I could just hang on an office wall, without a network cable for sure. And without a power cord if at all possible. I never got far. I could probably build now what I wanted then, but I’m not sure anyone would find it compelling, least of all me.
Except if you do get hurt, and even if it is just you, the rest of us are, via social contract, obligated to spend common resources to come rescue you and pay for your medical bills. I know you could make this argument against any activity like rock climbing, but then lobby your government.
Even if I grant the response I’m expecting, I dont want to be saved or helped if I injure myself, one, bullshit. Two, even if that’s true, we still have to pay someone to come hose blood off the pavement and dispose of the wreck.
Jacques Ellul views seems more pertinent to me (albeit his was 'pessimistic'), and largely predate all this.

This driver was probably only doing a few MPH over the 40MPH limit which is quite fast enough for a rural road. There is an A-road alternative for those 'in a hurry' but such carnage is a regular occurance.
The write is a 2 stage function which works quite well for the kafka layer since it's all batch. Let me explain.

1. First, we have a core-local shared chunk cache w/ DMA aligned buffers. https://github.com/vectorizedio/redpanda/blob/dev/src/v/stor...

2. Second, we eagerly dispatch IO blocks w/ manual accounting of which offset on the DMA section it is at https://github.com/vectorizedio/redpanda/blob/dev/src/v/stor...

3. We adaptively fallocate data to prevent metadata contention on the file handle itself.

4. We issue an fdatasync() - since we are interested in the data being safe (data corruption w/ checksums, etc it's too long to type, but i can expand on a blog post if interested)

5. so imagine a big write (for simplicity) say 1MB. This will get broken up into 16-128KB DMA writes. The last step is an fdatasync for acks=-1 (raft needs this)

There are nuances between each line, but hopefully this gives you a hint on how it's done.
Study suggests most “dark web” users are not engaging in illicit activities
The only problem is that he is wrong on almost every detail. He has apparently never heard of mmap, which is awkward because mmap is how memory is obtained, nowadays.

And if you want, you know, performance, it needs to know something about threads, pre-allocating chunks to assign to threads, and batching free ops per thread.

Most of what you can find about writing allocators is written by people who don't actually know how; and actually useful allocators are made by people who don't write tutorials about it.
Amen to that! Giving a damn is absolutely needed. See longer response elsewhere this comment section.

Review: Keychron K2
The history section of the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_network#History goes all the way back to the 3rd century!
It’s perfectly aligned. One prevailing theory is that stock prices reflect the value of all future earnings (dividends).

So stocks go up, not because a company is making more money today, but because people think it will make even more money in the future (than is already accounted for in today’s price).
> very car should have a chip. Once you are in a speed limit - your car can't go faster.

This is actually dangerous because people need the ability to use discretion.

Suppose you're transporting a part to repair a machine which is causing a fatality every five seconds as long as it's offline. Getting there 20 seconds faster saves four lives. Do you still want a chip that prevents you from exceeding the speed limit?

> Oh wait, this wont generate revenue - so it wont work. Never mind.

This is a major reason why the US doesn't have many speed cameras either. Also why most of the speed limits are set 10-15 MPH below the ordinary speed of travel. If violations are prolific and enforcement is sporadic, they can generate fine revenue whenever they want.

If enforcement is automatic then people figure that out and do what's necessary to avoid the fine, but then you're left with an expensive boondoggle that isn't generating revenue.

It also deprives the police of the excuse they currently have to pull over cars at whim when everybody is speeding at all times, and they wouldn't be happy to lose that at all.
Like the post, and use of definitional concepts. Useful. Thank you.
I agree, but I can only control how other people understand my words to some degree, especially in a fast paced, low effort forum conversation. The prejudice of the reader will drive their interpretation more than my actual intent.

You can read my comments as gatekeeping or as the exact opposite - an invitation to come through the gate and see what you can learn here and take what is useful to you.
But you don't even know any of the facts of the case? How would you have no hesitation when you have no idea what happened and haven't even listened to the defenses argument?
All the tricks we know about SSRF in a single mindmap
Yet surpising how infrequently you see the 20mph being adhered to. These people, already travelling very short distances, must be saving at least 30 seconds a year?
This is a hard question because everything is really dependent on your threading model. One has to start w/ the threading model. At the time I wrote the first line of code in Jan 2019, there wasn't anything that was really amenable to the seastar::future<> / task-based scheduler with truly async IO (enforced by a reactor stall if greater than 500 micros).... so we wrote our own from scratch .... in fact we wrote it many times over, the first version attempted to use flatbuffers atop my old project - https://github.com/smfrpc/smf but the linearization of buffers proved too costly for long running processes which led to the fragmented buffer approach in the blog post mentioned.
This is a terrible take.

Yes, the system didn’t “break”, but that’s because most gov’t used debt to backstop the pain and in the case of the US, printed more currency.

Both of those measures come with a price and you can’t keep it up for long.

I suspect they will only need to vaccinate the most vulnerable before things start opening up again. Once hospitalisation rates fall restrictions will get lifted.

Seems like your interests align to some SRE and DevOps roles, but you'd definitely need to shop around and it'd only work at large companies.
It’s common for trucks here to be governed to 70mph with a sign on the back saying so. Pretty sure it’s an insurance thing.
Recently I’ve seen the odd ones mentioning 40mph in town too.
I usually ignore Seeking Alpha since it generally appears to be a blog for randos to spout their half-baked opinions but I think that's worth a read.

The bailouts seem to be removing some features, some better and some worse, of capitalism without giving any of the benefits of central planning. It will take decades to fully appreciate the effects I think.

As much as I really want to be a pessimist, I've been starting to wonder if a better outcome is possible. I think it was an article in the recent issue of the Economist which suggested that the disruption due to COVID-19 may actually cause long-term productivity gains by forcing inefficient processes to die. I am cautiously optimistic that this may be the case.

I'm not quite ready to enter the market yet. It is far too volatile and may see an overdue correction before or around the new year. I will probably get back in, albeit in a balanced fashion due to being 45, early next year. Yes, timing the market vs time in the market. I'm willing to take that chance.
The only job that really matters is acquiring food as it is needed for survival. The rest comes from people wanting to entertain themselves one or the other way.

Maybe instead of telling people what jobs are needed you'll let them to decide?
There may have been more of a race in 2016, I don't remember. I haven't personally seen an ad on Facebook in years. On iOS I use Purify, and don't see any ads on Facebook either. YMMV I guess.
Seriously nice write up! Kudos for taking your time to do this research.

On the reverse engineering side, is it... Legal?
Yet it's well known many UK motoways have speed cameras at regular distances as well as average speed cameras in many places, and there are still huge numbers of people caught by them?
Have you tried training the network using dropout?
My guess would be this: the cost of a reactor dominates the cost of electricity for fission, so making a reactor last longer reduces the time-averaged cost. Typically, reactors are expected to pay for themselves within 10-20 years. So, a reactor that self-destructs in 5 years needs to cost 2-4x less. It's not clear that MSRs have that kind of up-front cost advantage.
If the wave of foreclosures is significant enough, there will be a wave of bailouts. Everyone gets a trophy now.
You might want to look into the ‘tldr’ command for those simple shell examples. It’s a very helpful command.
I don't think it's very common, but you can find places where you can plainly see that's the reason: mainly non-local tourist traffic, poor signage, no other warnings about a dangerous area or speed checks, hidden speed cameras but no police present.

This translates to: we don't care you're not going to drive here again, or that you didn't notice the sign. We don't even care if you slow down or not.

Not being sour here. I got caught at a well signed area in my local neighbourhood area - now I'm driving there slower.
There can be but only after you have already been inattentive or negligent leading up to the situation.

My teen is less than a year into his license. The other night he was driving us in an unfamiliar area and missed a sign indicating that the 3 lanes were merging into 2. He found himself at the merge point completely blocking a car trying to merge. Yes, the merging vehicle is obligated to yield but speeding up for a few seconds with open road in front of him was the safer move than braking hard or maintaining speed and hoping the merging vehicle yielded appropriately before it ran out of pavement.
In most keyboards Shift-G is the same as G, otherwise it would be g.
If you’re having visible performance problems, file a report with Feedback Assistant. It’s ok if it seems to be a 3rd party app causing the issue.

(High CPU use isn’t necessarily a real performance issue and might be caused by just having Activity Monitor open.)
Best keep my old car then. Some of the measures are useful though, some like alcohol interlocks are dumb, will trigger too many false positives or are easily circumvented. Compliance by 2024 is actually a hidden subsidy to the auto industry. How would they retrofit lane assist on an older vehicle? You'd have to buy a new one.
The number of people who justify driving as fast as possible to "save time" and then waste lots of time on other pointless activities is quite incredible. It's almost as if they're not really concerned about time at all...
That is sketchy AF
This whole strategy seems bad for them in the long run

I think that the future of the semantic web is not by adapting websites to use semantic tags (even though many of them do to some degree to work well with Google’s knowledge graph) rather APIs will start to use a semantic format (JSON-LD is a likely candidate). Unlike content, for data there is a big incentive to make it as easily understandable by machines. It can enable a whole new class of applications that use data according to well known ontologies instead of a rigid data structure (think API hyperlinks but with much less hard coding)
Well, liquidity has to go somewhere. The total amount of money isn't shrinking, and is in fact only growing bigger.
In the US, you are responsible for your own medical bills and ambulance costs if you are in an accident that wasn't someone else's fault.
They aren't notifying insurance companies. The violation becomes a part of your driving record and the insurance companies pull this information at regular intervals that can vary by company.
'Beyond that, if you don't want to get a fine, don't speed.'

Seems odd to me that Govt's struggle to raise revenue via normal taxes when they have a large pool of stupid people they could raise extra money from? Maybe making a regualr speeding fine a life changing amount rather than the negligable sum it is now would improve people's behaviour, raise some much needed revenue and save a few lives too?
I would go a step further, and say that prompt design will become an important sector of programming.

Modern language models (eg GPT-3 et al) offer the capability to take a natural language input, match it against the context of the sentence, then propose a query that is understandable to the layperson. This abstraction allows us to understand the problem better, rather than just analyzing the way the problem manifests itself in code. Having a programming language that mirrors our everyday communication is an important step forward in making the innovations from software broadly available.

The next wave of programmers will need to understand how human language can be used to efficiently guide models to solve problems that can’t be solved by human-written code. This is a big challenge, and we’re just at the very beginning of it, but I think it will open up new and undiscovered ways to create value in the world.

I have quite a few additional thoughts on the topic which I’ve captured here: https://sundayscaries.substack.com/p/whos-the-real-expert
here in singapore. after decades in the workplace. I've not met a single colleague who had "burn out" or took medical leave for "depression".

and then i went vietnam on a trip n found that lots of people work 7 day weeks and 2 jobs.

@dang can we get the black bar up?
Vaccinating just the vulnerable isn't enough for some countries, they want full herd immunity. For example, the Polish minister of health gave a press conference last week in which he said that restrictions cannot be lifted until half of the country's population has been vaccinated, and he expects that to take all of 2021. I suspect that he was only saying out loud what other EU countries have been tacitly planning for.

Go be a child somewhere else. Your responses show a clear lack of understanding of the point of using CentOS and becoming petulant when someone calls you on it just makes it worse.

CentOS was binary compatible because the point was expecting it to be the same environment for application layer and testing. The change being described throws all that in the trash and its intellectually dishonest at best or just obtuse ignorance at worst to "misunderstand" the difference here, and how big of a change switching to a "Beta" effect release schedule is when there was an existing 10 year commitment to release schedule that was also thrown in the trash.

Don't try to insult the userbase by then gaslighting after the fact.
yes, dropout and other regularization techniques were used
My guess is English is not their first language + autocorrect.
That kind of problem, with such a limited number of parameters, really shouldn't be thrown into a neutral network. A decision tree (or varient) might have been the ideal ML technique, and you may have been able quickly see what parameters mattered and reduce the four parameters to code if needed.

Neural networks make sense with huge number of input parameters where feature selection is really tricky to reason about and decision boundaries are very non-linear such as image classification.

And I’m sure all the people I see racing are insured or have the $100k+ a serious accident, injury or property damage entails.
Have people forgotten about the Uyghur concentration camps already? China claim it's not happening, and yet a number of ally countries (in the middle east of all places) have declared their praise for the initiative. These are basically slaves (a sharp drop in human rights and wage, obviously), for the profit of China.

Before I left my last company, we were spending about a couple hundred dollars per month just on media storage/bandwidth alone for serving academic papers/docs/data (as well as our logs)… in top 5k in alexa, top 100 in indonesia with about maybe 60-70 customers paying 150-200 dollars per year coming from mostly EM countries… the customers can barely afford/justify spending what we were offering over using some open source alternatives, and there would be no way in hell we'd spend that on just logging.

I at least helped 10x the customers and cut costs from when I joined to before I left (stayed a little over a year)… but man, talk about constraints…
I'll tell you a joke about TCP. If you don't get it I'll tell you again.
Brexit will put the kabosh on much of that I imagine. When the borders are closed to the rest of Europe it will be quite easy to make cars from unfriendly jurisdictions illegal on UK roads or to require the equivalent of a visa to bring a car registered in one of those uncooperative nations into the country.
I had to chuckle at your comment (at first glance it does seem foolish), thinking about it a little more however, I realize that there is a good reason to why they do it, and if you are careful enough you can probably evade the negative consequences. I guess you have to know what you are doing.
There's no other way to say this: I dislike ckeditor.

An application I have to use frequently uses it for rich text entry.

But I use firefox + a mac and it seems poorly suited. I don't think safari works either.

It replaces the default editing keys so every time I hit control-b - instead of going back a character I turn on bold. Every time I hit control-k - instead of clearing to end of line, it pops up a create link dialog.
So either he slows down to aid the overtake or it’s not possible in time and the overtaking vehicle slows down to merge behind.

Appreciate these things are tough when you’re still new, nervous in an unfamiliar area, etc. but that’s the time you go back to basics on your driving to maximise safety.
No you aren't. EMTALA, the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act of 1986 specifically says everyone will be treated regardless of any ability to pay.

If someone doesn't have the ability to pay, guess who ends up paying? Everyone else.

It is probably not accurate to say that he was the creator of ARPAnet, but the methodologies his team came up with for ALOHAnet played a huge role in the development of ARPAnet.
You set your cruise control when driving on city streets?

Sure, I use it on the freeway, but only on long drives. I've never seen anyone use it in the city.
Unlikely, as we lose access to potential sources of cooperation from the EU and we have a government in thrall to the dangerous driving lobby.
It’s reasonable to believe the death rate is too high and there is too much enforcement if that enforcement focuses too heavily on a single aspect of the problem at the expense of focusing on other problem areas.

Speed enforcement seems to be the low hanging fruit. There’s (generally) no judgment call, readily accepted evidence, it’s politically palatable, and it’s like shooting fish in a barrel: there’s always someone you can tag.

It’s a lot harder to tag someone for driving onto the freeway at 30 mph and failing to merge properly. There’s no “merge trap” to witness it so the cop has to basically happen upon it. There’s not always clear evidence, there’s probably some judgment required too. People don’t like the idea of tickets for going “too slow”; everyone acts like it is absurd. You can’t even blame the LEO because he probably knows the ticket won’t stick. Yet this behavior is extremely dangerous and happens all the time.
I've been looking at all the options and it looks like Firefox really is my best bet. I use Tor Browser for private browsing when I need to, anyway, so I don't see any other alternative that's good enough.
It's missing step 0: properly defining the problem. This is a process we tend to skip because we already have a solution in mind.
There's a chapter about Stardew Valley's development in the book Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, that's how I knew about it. It's a good book and a pretty easy read. I appreciated seeing the process of how other companies and indie developers work.
