What bothers me is there are so many fun immigration combinations that never get any press. Where's the lobby for unlimited Chinese immigration into Japan? Can you imagine the Godzilla movies we'd get out of that? What has Japan done for us lately, besides Dark Souls? A new national trauma is just the thing to refresh that fatalistic warrior muse.

If the Chinese and Japanese can't coexist, despite belonging to the same race and often being mutually indistinguishable, then who can?

The simple answer is because Salesforce was willing to pay a ridiculous multiplier - something like 70 times revenue.

Slack came dangerously close to making Dropbox’s mistake of thinking it’s a platform. Sure, you build stuff for Slack, but the API surface for them is tiny. They’re extremely easy to port to other chat platforms.

With Salesforce, they can leverage an experienced - well, sales force - to push Slack, but more importantly, to truly make it a platform for users to more easily interface with Salesforce’s other products.

I would add that the US's apogee was due to it's role on WW2, whose success was due to the US's preexisting industrial infrastructure, not only manufacturing capability but technical and scientific infrastructure that supported it.

Since then the US not only gave up on its main strategic asset but also handed it over on a silver platter to the next world power.
Well it is very easy to check consensus view of science - it is published scientific articles. Why it is consensus view? Because it is peer reviewed and different journals have different reputation ranks. In scientific debate you always link the source - scientific article. If he cannot link sources, means there is no need to understand either “what is driving Levitt”, either “what is Levitt’s reasoning?”
I guess the most famous part "low quality" ABS is that UV unstable along with low resistance to organic chemicals like gasoline[0] (and acetone, which is ABS glue). Compare that to nylon[1]. Flip note ABS becomes brittle at lower temperatures (say -20C).

As for why I thought it was ABS. It's glossy and if it was nylon or polycarbonate (esp. glass/carbon fiber composite, or even PC+ABS), it'd be written a major pro in the marketing materials.

On topic, thanks for the article. I had no idea this happened. I didn’t know crew were stuck on the ships. I remember some ships weren’t allowed to dock and unload passengers during the height of the lock downs in March/April. However, I thought that when everyone was allowed off the ships that passengers and crew would be treated equally.

This is very sad.
I am sorry, but I don´t follow your reasoning. Why do you think the course provides an example of ethics washing? As I understand the term, ethics washing means - roughly - that someone claims to be ethical, while (s)he is really not committed to implementing ethical principles in practice. I don´t think it is a fair accusation in the context of free online moocs. Correspondingly, I don´t understand your other concerns either. The course is an introductory, free online course for anyone interested in the state-of-art ethics of AI. As I see it, it is not meant to be a mind blowing course for professional philosophers doing AI ethics. One might expect professionals to know the field already. And it is not meant to provide a list of dogmas or principles for true believers; if you want to have your correct answers or to get the correct codes of conducts, this clearly isn´t your course. As a philosopher I found it very strange to claim that it´s "obvious" that there is a correct/incorrect point of view. Instead, I find it obvious that most of the questions are really complex. And what comes to the peer reviews, I see your point. I have a background in AI ethics - I am not an expert, but know some stuff - and I have also lectured online, so I know how difficult it is to design an introductory course for a non-specified target group. But as I see it, the peer reviews are meant to provide feedback and possibility to learn from others. Of course, in the best possible world, there would be a teacher commenting all the answers, but it is in contradiction with the mooc ideology. But your claim that the course "reinforces" group think - that´s crap. How exactly is it supposed to do that? Or, do you honestly find other people intellectually so... "under developed" that their thoughts can be manipulated simply by asking them to read or evaluate someone else´s answers? If this is the case, then - indeed - it is necessary to worry. And yes, if this is the case, then we are very glad that you are worrying it.

I have a Tesla and I agree that it drives somewhat poorly compared to a Human ... when there's no surprises. Handling lanes and turns just moderately well, but not great.

However it frequently notices things before I do. Lane splitting motorcycles approaching for the rear for example. Or a car in front of me slowing down, but not using the brake lights.

It also does quite well when a car brakes in front of me, especially if it's a surprising slow down like on an onramp where I'm looking over my shoulder to merge.

So while I've not had an accident of any kind in over 25 years, I do appreciate the car noticing before I do.

So while I don't let the Tesla drive autonomously, I do feel like I'm a much safer driver with the active assistance from the car and that the Tesla (even with the same sensors) will continue to improve. Not sure if they will hit full autonmous on the current hardware, they might need another revision (to add CPU and better sensors) before they drive better than most humans.

Curious why Golang? Would you consider rewriting everything in Rust? /s
It’s been said before, about ROM chips for sure, but I don’t know if history necessarily agrees regarding other chips, that there’s a point at which the opportunity cost of “just enough” silicon is too high and so you end up with a choice between way more than you need for simple tasks, or doing without (eg, embedding that responsibility in some other chip).

I think a lot of projects will be targeting ARM CPUs in the next era of computing, and I hope one day we will see entire processes moving off the cpu and onto peripherals.

Give me a RAID controller that can run Postgres directly on it, or an SSD that can run SQLite. Give me a network card that runs eBPF, or even nginx.
I'm not sure what you are saying here. I think the intent is to differentiate between the "optimal" robotic control dynamics which is designed for safety, efficiency, and to respond to unexpected situations and "dancing" which is intended to either mimic human motion or some anthropomorphic version of it.

So it is "animation" of a physical sort designed to make it look like the robots are responding to the music naturally, rather than programmatically.
I guess it's because the article's main topic is suicides that I thought the "cure" being referred to was suicide with the corresponding disease/reason being the isolation, the other main theme of the article.
I wouldn't really call it coercion. It's Apple's attempt to make a genuinely better product that costs them less to produce as far as I can see. Yes, the products do strike me as highly disposable but then again that has basically been their business model for over a decade, so that shouldn't really be that big a surprise.

I just see it as the first major step in showing the world that we don't actually need x86 for new productivity oriented machines.

It persists in order to get people to read the paper. This is openly acknowledged in the industry (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/09/insider/how-to-write-a-ne... ); headline writers are aiming to "[create] a mystery that can only be solved by reading further" and "reach and draw in as many people as possible", while making sure they don't "give away the ending".

I spent about 6 months building Itinee (https://itinee.com) which is a trip planning app focused on being budget conscious.

Unfortunately, due to COVID, people aren't traveling so I haven't really put any money into marketing it or done any more development on it. I might revisit it once things get back to normal. I don't plan to do much more development until I get user feedback, though

I work at the company with unlimited holiday in the Uk and you can't really take every Friday off the whole year + other holidays.

The only problem is from a communication with the public is that as many people has physically possible will be vaccinated. How is this "emergency" approval any different then a general approval if the end result of the same?

" but given the circumstances, the risks posed by vaccination for the general public are outweighed by the benefits. "

That's the problem, we don't. We don't know what the risk is long term, it is unknown. It is illogical to say that an completely unknown risk has any logical comparison.

Not the Mac mini but I bought the M1 MacBook Air (with 8-core GPU and 16GB RAM).

I watched the unveiling of the new M1 Macs live and was so impressed I brought up the Apple Store immediately afterwards to buy one ... until I saw the 16GB memory limit, then I decided to wait until whatever comes next.

A couple of weeks later my wife crunched her laptop screen, so (after seeing tons of glowing reviews in the meantime) I decided what the hell, I'll buy one of these M1 things and give her my 2014 MacBook Pro.

I'm generally doing everything "server-y" or "Linux-y" on AWS these days anyhow, so my laptop usage has actually become less demanding over the past few years. I've read that Docker support is coming along, but I haven't bothered trying that locally (and probably hadn't used Docker on my previous Mac in over a year). So yeah, for me usage is generally Firefox and/or Safari and/or Chrome with dozens of tabs, Terminal windows, AWS Workspaces client and Messages app. Everything flies, as you'd expect.

I got a cheap Choetech USB-C dock from Amazon to do HDMI, Ethernet and USB-A, and that worked for a couple of weeks until it flaked out and the dock's USB ports stopped working. Now I'm stuck on the laptop screen until the new Thunderbolt dock I ordered arrives tomorrow (and hopefully works more reliably). But while I had them connected, the Mac seemed to have no problem driving my 4K monitor - my old MacBook Pro could do 4K at 30hz and it felt like it was struggling - this machine makes it feel like a breeze as I bounce between workspaces and apps.

In the 5 weeks I've been using the machine I have had 2 random-seeming hard crashes - the screen went purple for a moment and then the laptop turned off. When it restarted, it wanted to report a kernel panic to Apple. Not sure of the cause of the issue and haven't been able to replicate on demand.

So far I like the machine and am happy with it - it makes my (admittedly pedestrian) workflow feel much snappier, although I would have also been OK waiting for something even better if I didn't suddenly need to buy another laptop for the household.
Much like people turned to Trump, people turned to alternative media because they feel the neoliberal establishment isn't telling them the 'truth.'

> The majority of the world will be sticking with CISC architectures for a while

Just say x86. There's no need to bring CISC/RISC distinctions into this.
The big win is not so much in the actual underlying power, but rather in the syntactic uniformity. In traditional OO languages there is a semantic difference between f(arg1, arg2) and arg1.f(arg2) and as a programmer I have to remember which one is the right one for any particular operation I want to do. In CL the syntax for a regular function call and a generic function call is exactly the same, so as a programmer I don't have to worry about it. I just write (do-something arg1 arg2) and let the compiler figure it out. It removes a tremendous amount of cognitive burden.

But there are lots of examples where it really makes sense to be able to dispatch on multiple arguments. Arithmetic operations, for example. It's really nice to be able to add, say, arrays using the same syntax as adding numbers, or to be able to do array-array multiplication and array-scalar multiplication using the same syntax as multiplying numbers. Or, if you're doing graphics, to be able to specialize on both the object being drawn and the target to which it is being drawn.

There are loads of other things as well. The meta-object protocol allows you to do all kinds of wizzy things. Using EQL specialization lets you define special-case handling for a privileged object without cluttering up the rest of your code. BEFORE and AFTER methods let you tweak arguments on the way in or results on the way out.

Here's an example from a real-world project I'm working on: it's a 30-year-old legacy system and it's chock-full of hard-coded path names, literally thousands of them. We had to port it to a new environment where those paths don't exist. Normally this would have been a huge project to go through the source code and manually find and change all of the paths. Instead, I was able to define a BEFORE method on the OPEN function [1] which translated the incoming hard-coded path name to the correct value in the new environment. What would normally have been a multi-day headache was instead a five-minute tweak.

[1] Yes, I know OPEN is not actually a generic function, and so this is not actually possible in portable CL. But this was in ACL which provides this feature as an extension. And even in portable CL you can always shadow OPEN and redefine it. This is now getting away from the advantages of the OO system and into other parts of CL, but the bottom line is that many, many things that are a PITA in other languages are easy in CL.
"The ethos is simple: all scientific models are judged by their predictive power"

Then String Theory is rubbish because it predicts nothing?

Every single theory in science started out with some 'predicate knowledge' and based on 'intuition', scientists reached out a few leaps with some ideas.

Some proved right, many proved wrong.

Some took a while to come together.

"String Theory" is different - it was not based on 'intuition' or any predicate foundation.

'Strings' are a fantasy - just completely made up.

Some people took a fantasy 'new origin' and put tons of math around it.

Since then, they've never been able to map it to reality, or even conceive of an experiment let alone do one.

What it looks like is religion - not only in it's foundation, but in the behaviour of it's acolyltes.

How does a Priest react if you tell him 'God does not exist'?

How does a String Theorist react if you tell him 'There is no String Theory it's just your imagination'.

Perhaps in the greatest of ironies, I actually believe God is more likely to exist than String Theory (!) or at least, there might be some kind of actual spiritual reality to our existence.

Strings? It's just an idea that snowballed into something.

Not to be too dismissive but I think that's the problem. Modern SPAs with React et al are very bloated and imo a massive wrong turn compared with the simple boring tech that was before it, with very little gain to show for it as well.

I wish Zwave/zigbee were more practical to use. I'm not too worried about someone local pulling readings out of the air, but giving all of this crap access to my wifi, relying on cloud services that could go down at any time, and even adding a bridge straight in (your SIM comment) is just rediculous. For things like cameras or other high bandwidth applications wifi makes sense, but for the usual sensor/switch stuff, there's no need for a full IP network.

Plus, all of the stuff controlled locally means the latency is sooooooooo much lower. It's awesome being able to hit a switch in the homeassistant app and have the corisponding plug or light turn on instantly. It's like you're flipping a physical switch.

Wow.

(Kind of a tangent, but this reminds me of Red lang and Factor lang. Both are tight, tiny (by modern standards), self-contained, and produce native code. I wish some other languages (like Haskell and Python) had similar setups. "That would be sooo cooool.")
What did you not like about it?
You can make the argument both ways. Having religious faith can be a form of strength that gets you through hard times. Sometimes you have to believe in the impossible to keep moving forward. On the other hand, having delusional beliefs can also be a weakness that others can take advantage of as is the case with a lot of organized religion.

One last comment because you seem young and confused:

Don't give up on acquiring knowledge. It seems like you think you have all the answers. That's just your low resolution view of the world. And it's sad to see such an obviously motivated and excited child with such an impoverished perspective of the world.

People have been struggling for thousands of years with the very topics you say to have already mastered. This is the ignorance you're getting down voted for.

> planes (737-max)

Huh? That plane had a design issue, not a manufacturing issue. While the loss of life was tragic, it also wasn't a major design blunder; it's the sort of thing you can fix with a new sensor and a software update. On the other hand, the 787 shows that the US can build planes.

> trains

Bombardier still makes trains in North America, and Alsom builds some trains in the US.

I actually agree with your point, but tech manufacturing moving to East Asia is the bigger story. There's also an argument that the jobs didn't materialize because the workers weren't educated enough for better paying jobs and were too expensive for manufacturing jobs.
Honestly suggesting rust instead of golang is way more in the same abstraction space as ruby vs go... such a weird question.
There is no shortage of products that can injure or kill you if you operate them unsafely including cars. But you won't "operate" an autonomous vehicle at least while it's autonomous. An autonomous vehicle causing an accident due to a software mistake is the equivalent of a regular automobile suddenly losing steering control because of a design defect on a highway--and the latter would absolutely be a liability issue for the car maker.
