Automata theory aficionado here. Regular languages are really neat! They have an air of being an "important" mathematical object, given how many different "natural" characterizations of them exist.

In a standard CS course you'll start out learning that regular expressions and finite state automata define the same class of languages. But they're also equivalent to:

- Languages generated by regular grammars (only rules of the form A -> a, A -> Ba, or A -> epsilon)

- Languages definable in monadic second-order (MSO) logic

- Languages "recognized" by a finite monoid (this algebraic appraoch to formal languages is super interesting and rich!)

- Language's whose Myhill-Nerode relation has finitely many equivalence classes
Presumably the OS would be in some nonvolatile medium and the SSD would only be used for stuff like storing sensor data anyway. In the event of corruption or a system restart you would lose all of your working data but could bootstrap the system again.

I read some excuses from people how Apple didn't know but they are not the only manufacturer (or brand) in the world using cheap labor. Plenty don't monitor work conditions but others (usually more fancy brands) keep a close eye on things.

> For coins with a 75% bias, you can represent the possible outcomes by "HHHT"

Your method seems to lack rigor.

Lets take a fair D4 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-sided_die), and define "Heads" as 1, 2, 3, and 'Tails" and 4. This gives us a perfectly biased 75% Heads coin.

The possibilities are:

* Heads: 75% of the time (123)

* Tails: 25% of the time (4)

--------

With two "flips" of this D4, we've got:

* HH -- 56.25% (11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23, 31, 32, 33)

* HT -- 18.75% -- Von Neuman Heads (14, 24, 34)

* TH -- 18.75% -- Von Neuman Tails (41, 42, 43)

* TT -- 6.25% (44)

---------

The Von Neuman Method throws away the TT and HH possibilities, leaving an 18.75% chance of heads and an 18.75% chance of tails. The HH and TT require a "reroll". Thus, we've removed the bias of the dice.

In any case, by giving every state an equal chance and a specific name (11, 12, 13...), we have a more rigorous count of the possibilities. I don't know where your method went wrong... but clearly something is off.
You can make those observations about any mobile app, social network, free online services...
BTW, does anyone know why there are so many good Depeche Mode / Dave Gahan remixes? Does the band specifically encourage remixing by providing samples, voice records etc.?
It seems like in that case there isn't much to worry about then :)
From the bottom of the article:

“It’s an intriguing result, and it may lend some weight to the MOND hypothesis for further study. But it’s important to keep in mind that so far the bulk of the evidence still points towards dark matter, and it’ll take much more work to topple that hypothesis entirely.“
What other market is large enough for apple to enter? That’s the real question that needs to be answered because if there is no other viable market to deploy their capital then disrupting transportation is a good pick.

>Apple Card was perhaps a dipping of the toes moment

Was it really? Dozens of companies have credit cards. Walmart, Uber, Paypal, Venmo, Best Buy, Amazon...it didn't real strike me as big things happening when Apple announced their credit card.

I can pick an AMP site out almost immediately. I click on a link somewhere, and a moment later as I start to the read the article I'm like: "this looks weird, like a crappy AMP site not a regular website!" I inspect the URL and sure enough it is. I always switch to the real site at the earliest opportunity. So not only is AMP terrible regarding the open web as others have commented, it's also freaking annoying on a pure UX level.
So we should namespace our product name usage? make sure you refer to Amazon: Vine and not Vine: Vine or even Grape: Vine.

Researcher gets $13k bounty from Facebook for Instagram email/dob leak bug
I was at a school who was just starting to do some similar things. They had students register the mac of their devices (wired and wireless). So they identified students by mac. With this it was actually pretty easy for a bad actor to frame someone else by just changing their mac to another device on the network.

Same school would also lock your university account after 3 bad password attempts and you could only unlock in person at the library help desk. Again you can see the problem.
One way to think about it is that we want to change the shape of the curve as the app grows. In our experience, as apps become more complex and take on dependencies, the fixed cost of React is offset by all the product and other third party library code. You might think it's not a problem for small/hobby apps, but those often fail to track their bundle size, so they also have perf problems. So we want to change the shape of the curve instead of just "making React smaller". If React itself is really your bottleneck, use Preact.

>And if a component is a ~10kb in JS size and their new JSON UI representation is ~1kb in size then if you request 20 renders of that component then over the wire it would be 20kb of fragments than the 10kb component...?

Keep in mind that you can shift things between Client and Server very fluidly. That's very much the point of the proposal. If you refetch something twenty times over a small period, it might be a good candidate to move to the Client. On the other hand, on most navigations you have to fetch anyway (to get data), and so you might as well do a bunch of CPU work on the server and avoid sending abstraction bloat down.

One part that's missing from the current demo is granular refetching. That's going to be an important piece (including for routing). So that the refetch happens for partial subtrees and not always from the top. We have a rough idea for how it should work but it's still on the TODO list (as many other things we mentioned as ongoing research).
Has any of you actually successfully used a ramdisk recently on a modern GPU? The documentation available for doing this in Linux is pretty scarce.
I can't even begin to imagine how a walled garden for a car would look like. Perhaps there are examples from already existing car manufacturers.
> And if people are so lazy that they drive around the parking lot instead of using the sidewalk, that reflects on them, not the sidewalk.

I think this reflects a lot of comments, "American's are lazy" and "Look at this german punks walking and respecting traffic laws!" Is the argument US is just inherently lazy? Could there be something else at play? I think it's just that when a use case isn't a main focus of design those users will be stuck trying to hack the system or having a poor experience. USA isn't designed for walkers most places, those people will behave "badly" because of it.

Also, yes there are strip malls that bad, I can show one but then we'll be having pedantic arguments over "hey if you walk an extra 600 feet you have a sidewalk!" or something. Like, even the idea of a strip mall inherently is car centric, with most square footage devoted to parking and who wants to walk (or even drive!) through a parking lot.
Only in different processes.
You seem to be blaming other people for things, maybe learn to swallow your ego and take criticism better. Certainly with this comment and your blogpost you are not taking feedback well, instead blaming the people giving it. Stewart Lee as a joke often blames his audience for not understanding the genius of his comedy, this seems similar except it’s not funny.
Just so you know, the way you talk to a tesla is via a physical button on the steering wheel.

When you press it, music pauses/dims, so loud music isn't going to get in the way of you being heard. Kids can't just yell "car, do X" because they can't hit the button on the steering wheel.

There are valid reasons to dislike voice-controls, but the ones you've picked are not issues with the specific system in question.
If I was an Apple shareholder (I guess I am, indirectly through Berkshire), this would piss me off. Apple is in a very good business. Cars are a terrible business. Just compare Apple’s margins to any car company. Also, it’s really hard to move into a business that is widely outside your core competency. It can be done, but the effort is huge, and I suspect the median track record is poor.
> 1. The construction of highways through poor (read: minority) urban areas, causing mass respiratory disease and premature deaths[1].

Isn't this kind of leap? I've lived plenty of expensive places (e.g. downtown San Diego, Boston, Los Angeles) that had free/highways close to expensive property. What is leading you to believe highway construction targets the poor areas, other than those real estate markets are already depressed (which is possibly why poor people live there)?
Does the NHS not cover treatment for documented, debilitating migraines? I would be shocked to hear that it doesn't. In fact I think I would be surprised to hear if the NHS doesn't cover anything as long as it isn't something like cosmetic surgery.

There is no reason single payer shouldn't or couldn't cover 99% of most medical needs.
Time runs slower when you're young; but then as you age there's less time in each day. Perhaps it's the same for everything else that experiences time, from us to galaxies and universes.
If even Ford is able to deliver something close to Tesla, this is big proof that they don't have anything unique to offer.

Unlike other places, people don't own land in China right? You can only lease it for x number of years. That changes the dynamics of the real estate market.

Agreed, but that also doesn't change the fact that Vine appears to have serious flaws in its reviewer selection process
Specialist repair centres and a policy against out of brand repairs is something Tesla has done already.
Apple Pay has not very much to do with the Apple card. Apple Pay is a logical extension of contactless, which has been available around the world for years.

The world moved to chip&pin at least 5 years ago and moved to contactless for small money amounts (<AUD100 <GBP30) at least 3-4 years ago.

Apple & Google's changes for CC are mostly in the tokenization standard, building the backends for issuers.

The Apple Card is a US only need, because the US is stuck on chip&sign and Visa/MC have been unable to force the retailers to replace their ancient POS equipment. Plus big retailers don't like not having access to the full PAN of an account and tracking customers.
Private mega-corporations like Facebook should never be deciding what information is "mis"-information, especially during an election. We as Americans should decide what speech we want to be legal or illegal and use proper transparent legal channels to enforce these collective decisions, whether that speech happens on the street or on-line.
The Zuckerberg defence: “but Apple stuff is expensive; surely that has to be immoral, right?”. As if it had anything to do with this issue.

> Seems like microservices has moved past the "peak of inflated expectations" and into the "Trough of Disillusionment" phase of the hype lifecycle.

The only change I've been witnessing with regards to microservices is where their critics place their personal goalpost.

Microservices is a buzzword that is used as synonym for distributed systems and the evolution of service-oriented architectures after removing the constraints of rigid interface-related XML-based technologies like UDDI and WISDL in favour of ad-hoc interfaces. Some responsibilities are moved to dedicated services when the operations side justifies it, and services are developed based on key design principles to reflect lessons that have been learned throughout the past couple of decades.

But even if the hype associated with a buzzword comes and goes, the concepts and its uses are still the same.
> Unlike Landing.ai and C3.ai...

What do you believe the go-to-market strategy is of those two?

For C3.ai, my interpretation was they're trying to become the Microsoft of ML, re-packaging the entire ML pipeline into a more consumable developer experience. They seem currently focused more upon the model analytics part of the pipeline than say, training data selection or ETL to ingest raw data (whether to train upon or run in production), or any number of other pieces of the pipeline.

Landing.ai appears to be more tightly focusing their messaging on the operational aspects of the ML pipeline, though not so much the modeling part that C3 appears to emphasize. They also seem to very tightly narrow their focus on machine vision ML.

I'm probably wildly off though, having had no access to the actual platforms and ever used them in anger.
comma.ai seems like a likely acquisition for Apple.
I just bought an Aroma pressure cooker [0] to replace our 15yo Aroma rice cooker that had reached its end of life after multiple uses per week (the cord and the lid latch both broke within a couple months of each other). It does a great job with the rice, but making a meal that requires both a pressure cooker and a rice cooker requires some advance scheduling.

A few years ago, a published article suggested an alternative to the universe expanding is increasing mass. Older objects increase their mass and therefore are red shifted. Why is this alternative plausible theory recieving such little attention?

Edit: changed mass decay to increase in mass. I misremembered the theory.

I have made dozens of improvements to Thingamagig based on valid user feedback.

On the first, am I supposed to improve based on something the user's kids said without trying the product?

On the second, what exactly did she complain about aside from "hardware improvements"? I'll make the changes. But what are they, exactly?
It’s a good thing nobody forced you to buy one, then.
That should just about kill Tesla’s Run-up. The options pricing is just ridiculous on it, but this stock will take a slow trickle back down to ~300.
For what it's worth, it is always possible to build an automatic approach on top of a manual one. Maybe somebody motivated will do it. :-)
The solution there is that you drop the speed limit for everyone and therefore you're not a road hazard. Anywhere that could have a reasonable number of pedestrians should have adopted limits such that the majority of traffic can safely stop before hitting someone in most cases. Drivers convenience should not trump people's lives.
Safety is multi-faceted.

Yes, a car that can slow down to avoid collisions is a form of safety. Seatbelts are another form. A car that does various things to avoid driver distraction is another form of safety. Just because you can think of a more immediate safety system does not make other increases to safety in some way "not practical" or "not real increases".

There are many things, small and large, that go into practical safety of a car

But if you have a lot of migration to do, you're keeping compatibility across the whole stack that entire time. If you have more atomic processes, the trivial ones get migrated trivially and aren't forced to carry technical debt for extended periods of time.

And there are worse scenarios than python upgrades. What happens if your processor or your OS reaches end of life? Do you keep running the whole stack on Windows XP without security patches until the last bit is ready?

But also doesn't require fire insurance for someone to try pulling you out of a burning building.

I think diseases that take longer but are still affecting your quality of life are just as important to consider, but also think they distort decision making and fail to work like a free market as a result. The "free market" has failed to provide affordable dental care outside large insurance policies, which are inaccessible to almost a quarter of americans, for example.

Tesla has the patents.

Well, Elon Musk didn't have aerospace experience expertise either.

Neither did Jeff Bezos.
They would tell you that you need to talk to billing, and billing would tell you they can't provide pricing at all and they can only tell you after going through your insurance, or they would require a zillion digit billing code that only your doctors can provide, and your doctors are not going to waste their time giving you the list of a thousand codes for whatever operation you're doing, or at least not accurately.

In short there is no way. Either you accept treatment and you're billed what you're billed and you hope insurance only fucks you over a little bit, or you're denied any service short of immediate life saving.
Yep, but, big, big but: you can make bigger cells out of it.

In comparison Tesla S carries huge amount of dead weight in 18650 casings, redundant conductors, electrodes, and battery module casings.

BYD Han has very big cells, and single simple module body, and actually beats Tesla on whole battery energy density.

Try to do it with cobalt base cathodes, they will shred themselves with internal expansion after a few charge cycles.
I've read about rumors stating they could already launch their apple car in September 2021.
I wouldn't be surprised if this happens. Apple has always been very secretive and the iPhone came as a surprise to many.

If they rely on a third party for the manufacturing there are no reasons this would take that long. We have seen recently how quickly this can happen with the M1 chip.

I think this argument is just a variant of:

1. Scientist predicts x by y.

2. Politicians take action to prevent x by y.

3. x by y didn't happen, therefor scientists were wrong.

It's like complaining your sys admins do nothing because nothing ever breaks. Or that Y2K was a conspiracy theory because it was prevented.
Is this like some real life polyglot thing? Instead of a program that is valid perl, python, bash, erlang, etc.; you "taint" your home movies to cover as many jurisdictions as possible?

I'll try. Play the Frozen soundtrack, scream "Navalny", have a Winnie the Pooh plush doll in the frame, do some questionable saluting, and feature a poster-sized image from South Park S5E4 (or that Charlie Hebdo cover) on the wall.
In a team at a hackathon I implemented a similar thing (safe way to school) with GraphHopper: https://github.com/karussell/nordhopper (Disclaimer: I'm one of the GraphHopper devs)

There is no mobile app only a simple web app. But we also considered crash data from the German government which could be important. Additionally with GraphHopper walking routes avoid bigger streets and consider many signals from OpenStreetMap data. My personal route would probably just to avoid some dark parks to be honest as every detour is ugly.

And so a nice feature is the customizable routing where you can change your preferences per request because it is not clear if a longer detour along lamps is really safer if it is twice the length and at which point your personal preferences are or how you wish to mix other signals into the cost function of the route.

Check out the next release soon that will get a heavily improved customization feature: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/pull/2209
For what it is worth, the second screenshotted review did a better job explaining what the product was than the blog post itself.

Up until that point I assumed it was some sort of educational toy based on the first reviewer giving it to her kids, and the childish product name.
I wish they would put some effort into these bills instead of taking the archaic approach of making everything a pain in the ass for legitimate users while doing almost nothing towards solving the actual problems it intends to solve.

What's to stop the content from appearing on another site or outside of the US? The PirateBay is still going strong since 2003 despite all the raids and efforts to remove it.

They should be allocating more resources towards collaborating with PornHub to stop these abuses, not by introducing legislation against it.

Even more disappointing that this was introduced by Jeff Merkley - the senator I just voted for - typically known for doing actual research and not lazily introducing legislation.

> I don't mean to offend, but this level of magic behavior sounds terrifying to me. React's original slogan was "it's just JavaScript". That made it easier to understand without special knowledge, easier to pair with whichever libraries you wanted to use, and easier to apply tooling to without special integration. But it seems to be getting further and further away from that goal with each passing year, turning into an opinionated, all-in-one framework like Angular.

I don’t know if this is that kind of magic (I certainly feel like hooks are, though they still don’t make React feel as much like a framework as Angular). When I saw Promise references in JSX, it looked a little confusing at first, but I thought about how it would probably be trivial to write a createElement wrapper that does the same thing on the client, just wrapping in a Suspense or similar until all of the promises resolve. I’m sure it’s more complicated than that, but it does still seem like “it’s just JavaScript”. Promises are widely used in JS already, after all.
