I think the focus on semantic markup is unfortunate. The term conjures up the idea of someone going through a web page, painstakingly adding structured data to (partially) mirror the text on the page. That was never going to happen, and I agree with you that machine learning makes it even less likely to happen.

In my view, the semantic web is a set of interoperabilty standards for databases. If manufacturers and merchants publish data on products and prices it would be nice if they could do that in a way that lets us easily merge, repurpose and analyse that data.

The data is already structured and stored in databases. So no one needs to mark up anything. What they would have to do is create a mapping from their proprietary database schemas to a set published schemas.

In principle this is nothing new. We had structured data exchange formats for decades before the web even existed. What the semantic web standards add is a more formal way of specifying such data exchange formats.

Traditionally, each data exchange format was an island with no formal connections to other data exchange formats. The semantic web standards make it easier to combine data from different sources across different schemas because they allow us to formally describe how these different schemas are related.

Also, we need to consider what the role of machine learning should be. We have a lot of normative data that shouldn't need to be approximated.

For instance, accounting rules should not be approximated with 96% accuracy by a 175 billion parameter neural network. These rules should be specified and interpretable with 100% accuracy on a 5 year old phone.

Similarly, what goes into a gadget is decided by the manufacturer. It's not desirable to learn that information by extracting text from product descriptions on the web and applying huge NLP models. Sometimes that's the only way we have, but it's certainly not a desirable state of affairs.

> Urbit doesn't have enough planets for every human

> A 32-bit planet is a tool, not a toy. Like a car, it's a device for a responsible and independent adult. There aren't 4 billion cars in the world, nor 4 billion independent adults.

> If you aren't an independent adult, and you don't need or even shouldn't have unconditional digital freedom (no one's 8-year-old daughter needs unconditional digital freedom), a moon from someone else's planet is fine.

WTF!? What is their definition of "independent adult" !? (Is it car ownership ?!?) This is IPv4 all over again...
In many countries the word of a police officer carries more weight by virtue of the authority they represent. It's considered that they are qualified to be entrusted with a lot of responsibility, so they are also inherently more trustworthy. This sounds reasonable especially given how many incidents are witnessed with no hard evidence - like jay walking, littering, disturbing public peace, etc. and probably also a lot of more serious offenses. You could be caught trying to steal a car in a dark street and all that stands between you and freedom is the police officer's word.

In this day and age with the possibility of just using body cams to cover this it should no longer matter. But the real qualm I have with this logic is that it's never turned on its head: if a trusted officer of the law breaks that trust they should be punished far more harshly. This almost never happens.

> Even without Brexit it is illegal for a British resident to drive a foreign-registered car on British roads. Though the law is rarely enforced, it does exist.

-Norway has a similar law, with the interesting application that if you, a Norwegian resident, is caught driving a car registered abroad in Norway, you're on the hook for the import taxes which would apply if the car were to be put on Norwegian plates.

In a way this makes sense, as (fossil) cars are taxed to high heaven and then some, doubly so if they are well-powered. If the law didn't exist, everyone wanting a muscle car would just buy it in Sweden at half the cost.

Oh yes of course. From what I can see, it looks like Nahshon Garrett is either lying or someone else voted for him. I think it's mostly likely he's lying, but maybe otherwise.

But I don't think that is any evidence of systematic fraud at all.

> since we've all heard the Russia collusion allegations for the previous four years.

Yes, and as I'm sure you realize, these allegations have been found true. Russia did act in 2016 to support Trump, people in Trump's circle worked with Russian agents etc. The best that can be said was that Trump was unwitting ( which I actually think is likely) and that his people working with the Russians didn't realize what they were doing (in general I think this is also likely).
I read some urbit.com post that said ~"We want people to be able have control of their data without having to be linux sysadmins".

There's a societal cost to everyone having all their data sit one facebook's servers, and I can get behind the stated goal of building an easy-to-use alternative. I'm skeptical about Urbit being that, of course.

(The 'fringe elements' thing just seems like great marketing, especially for a potentially pseudonymous system. A: No such thing as bad publicity, B: There's a broad swathe of people newly few up with the last decade's trend of calling everything fascist.)

Fairly sure there's more than 4bn legal adults in the world, so this is some weird supremacist thing where """inferior""" people are deliberately excluded.
My comment was a reference to corporate personhood, the legal notion that corporations are considered to be persons per se (i.e. not “groups of people”). Which is practiced in some countries, like e.g. the United States.

That makes no sense to me, but that’s the kind of world we live in.

So relax. Corporations don’t need your apologetics—they’re doing just fine.

> Beyond that, if you don't want to get a fine, don't speed.

I got a 100€ fine for speeding on a 130km/h. My crime? I was driving 100km/h instead of the supposed speed limit of 80km/h.

Every day I drive down that section I slow down to 80km/h while everyone else rightfully drives at almost twice the speed at 130km/h or even faster without getting a ticket. I don't think this is safe. It's also not good for me psychologically. It means the rules are stupid and arbitrary and not worth trusting.
> In our era, arguing society needs to create new legal and policy structures to ensure social media and these global public squares best serve us all seems reasonable to propose.

I fully agree with that. But I think the point that I'm trying to make is different.

> we have not been a position before where there are a few global scale 'public squares' under centralized corporate control

I think that we differ in opinion here. The novelty from my point of view is not 'centralized corporate control', because we always had that. The novelty is 'global scale public squares', because we never had that at this scale.

So the real novelty and concern in my opinion is not that corporations try to control those squares, but more that those squares are opened up to everyone to say any crazy thing they want.

I'm not arguing for or against it, because I think it's a very complex topic. I dislike censorship just like anyone else, but I also dislike spreading disinformation to large groups of people.
Good luck, there is a new “we are fixing freelancing” startup coming out every week. Unless you’ve actually been freelancing for years on multiple platforms + actually worked in Core Ops within those networks + worked in traditional recruitment - you’re clueless about what the actual problems are.

I use RSS for several reasons. 1.) I can collect everything in one central point. For example, in Thunderbird I can collect all RSS links and put them in one folder. If I then take the time once a day to read these links I can update them all at the same time. This is more a technical aspect. 2.) RSS is free. Free from advertising. Free from stuff I don't want to see on a website or in an article. I have only the pure article, which I can then read. 3.) I can turn off the display of HTML and then have only the content of a web page. Especially for blog articles where images are not so important, I find this better.

They do have to check whether you are able to confidently, safely and within the bounds of traffic-rules, operate the vehicle close to the speed limits. This need not be taken to mean that one has to always ride close to the limit.

Of course, given that on two wheels, one is not as safe as on four (and also being enclosed in a metal frame). So, naturally the good riders will find ways to ride safely and that includes riding at appropriate speeds. The ones who aren't good/safe riders are not likely to ride for long.

Do you know why nobody did not conduct phase III before? Is it because of safety concerns or lack of necessity since concerned disease disappeared?
I wonder if speeding is correlated with those other causes of accidents. It may not always be the cause of accidents but is evidence of bad judgement and easy to detect. In an ideal world we could also catch people who fail to check their blind spot, or get distracted automatically.

Also, it does make the environment less hospitable for pedestrians and cyclists which is a good enough reason alone.

My car has a speed limiter, radio and a computer. Imagine a near future where speed limits are sent via radio then enforced by the car computer. No more infringement!
It's a bad example, but there are legitimate scenarios where you want the ability to (temporarily) drive above the speed limit. E.g. speeding up until you can get out of the way of an ambulance, or to avoid getting rear-ended.

This data shows undocumented immigrants are less likely to get arrested, saying they're less likely to commit crimes is a speculative inference. If we're being consistent we would have to assume that any group with a high arrest rate must be a group that commits many crimes, which is not something the type of people who use the phrase "undocumented immigrants" are likely to accept as valid.

In general being in a country without valid papers gives one a strong incentive to avoid getting arrested.

>"OSv has been designed to

, which effectively makes it a Linux binary compatible unikernel (for more details about Linux ABI compatibility please read this doc). In particular OSv can run many managed language runtimes including JVM, Python 2 and 3, Node.JS, Ruby, Erlang, and applications built on top of those runtimes. It can also run applications written in languages compiling directly to native machine code like C, C++, Golang and Rust as well as native images produced by GraalVM and WebAssembly/Wasmer.

OSv can boot as fast as ~5 ms on Firecracker using as low as 15 MB of memory.

OSv can run on many hypervisors including QEMU/KVM, Firecracker, Xen, VMWare, VirtualBox and Hyperkit as well as open clouds like AWS EC2, GCE and OpenStack."

>"Paradigms for parallellization

Solutions for coordinating work across multiple cores are many. Some are highly programmer-friendly and enable development of software that works exactly if it were running on a single core. For example the classic Unix process model is designed to keep each process in total isolation and relies on kernel code to maintain a separate virtual memory space per process. Unfortunately this increases the overhead at the OS level.

Software development challenges

[...]

Hardware has changed to the point where the assumptions originally made on small numbers of CPU cores are no longer valid.

Processes are extremely self-contained but have high overhead.

Threads impose additional coordination costs on both the programmer and the application infrastructure, and are notoriously difficult to debug.

Pure event-driven programming can result in codebases that are difficult to test and extend."

Let me guess. What happened would be roughly: 1. The first pay cut. 2. Protests, rebuffed. 3. The second pay cut. 4. Protests, again rebuffed. 5. Violence.

There is no way to deny the existence of point 5 on the list, but all of 1-4 offered excellent occasions to prevent point 5.

People who overestimate their power risk having their tea vilently thrown into the sea, and that's violence and illegal.
The other flaw is that undocumented immigrants who get caught committing crimes get deported while citizens stay and commit more crimes.

I wish there were a way for the db to filter out or not surface rows that violated a constraint but that then loaded the data that did meet the constraints. I guess the fix here is before letting the db validate constraints one needs to run data quality checks to either delete or fix rows that would have failed such checks. But then depending on transaction level you might not be able to see uncommitted rows? I dunno

I read the whole article. (Not all the code, though -- I'm not quite so masochistic.)

In this article, Steve exercises commendable self-discipline when speaking about languages other than Rust. He lets the facts speak for themselves, and the facts are wholly eloquent (and damning) enough.

The thesis, that a good type system does not just "catch errors", but can and should be put to work to make good programs, is too often neglected by people who should know better.

The types in a program amount to another program, in a declarative, functional language that runs at compile time, and generates the program that will run. It produces a correct program, not by watching for mistakes, but by generating only correct code. The person who provides the types -- the library author -- has defined what a correct program using it can have in it, so the resulting program ends up with only those things, by arranging that the only way the parts fit together at all is when they are used correctly.

That puts more responsibility on the library author, and is only possible if the language is expressive enough to enable writing that compile-time declarative program. So, as we get languages that can express smart types, our standards for what makes a good library go up.

The standards of excellence for widely used Rust and C++ libraries are getting very high, making it increasingly harder to write bad code using them. Most of the value of Rust in helping to produce good code is in that support provided by library authors, and finally much less so by the borrow checker. C++ has to get along without borrow checking, but gets the full value of libraries ensuring correctness by construction.

This is why both Rust and modern-C++ coders often say that when their code finally compiles, it usually also works right.
Lots of people now say “do better” as some kind of moral high ground grandstanding. It’s really pathetic.
