This is commonly referred to as a "rationale" document. It exists for some languages, but not all, and helps to establish both why something has been done and why something else has not.

http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/12rat/html/Rat12-TOC.html

That is the Ada 2012 Rationale, for example. It details changes to the language standard with examples and explanations, as well (in the Epilogue sections) as things that were dropped. It would definitely be nice to have this for more languages, especially as it can help you grok what's changed in a specific version/edition/whatever (not just a full Language X rationale, but Language X 2.0's rationale for changes over Language X 1.0).

The poles are heating up much faster! Eg the North Pole rose 2-4c in the last 50 years:

The change is accelerating. Projections that held true in the 80s and 90s are being revised. We’re talking about 6-12 degrees Celsius warmer on Average globally in 100 years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change#/media/File%3... That means some days/months will be significantly warmer and our crops, food supply, water supplies and other industries won’t have adapted quickly enough to survive.

The worst case scenarios are the breakdown of civilisation and human extinction.

I didn't realize the HN headline was different than the linked article, which is "Lambda School Reaches Settlement with DFPI, Agreeing to End Deceptive Educational Financing Practices".

"Reaching a settlement" with an enforcement agency implies, at least to me, that you were acused of breaking a law.

>Shouldn't there be a metric built in that says something like "the quality of education didn't meet the expectations of the loan, so the loan can be discharged"?

How do you prove whether the failings are because of the student or the school? The fact that there are three parties involved (the student, the school, the lender) also complicates things. Finally, lenders would bake this risk into the loan itself, which means higher interest rates for people going to non-famous institutions.

In PoS everybody gets the same rate of return. On Ethereum it's currently about 8% annualized, regardless of how much you have staked.

On Bitcoin everybody gets about the same rate of return, but major operations can generally get first access to the newest ASICs or special deals for electric power, so their rates are better.

No cryptocurrency has found a way to give the exact same rewards to every human participating. That'd require some kind of verified identity. It's always going to be a rate of return times amount invested in hardware/stake.

Out of all the comments here, I'm glad to see so many bring up the one and only reason any governments ever fail on their own - corruption.

I spent three years with my company selling into the Trump administration. I had a solution to the American energy crisis. After my company closed, because I couldn't get a call back to save my life, I learned that there were no people at the offices I was calling. Trump left 35% of the renewable energies offices unappointed.

I'm bringing this up because no one here is mentioning the elephant in the room. Trump completely eviscerated the CDC epidemic watchdog groups, the CDC funding allocated for emergency response, and the FEMA funding for epidemic response. Our government didn't fail. We lacked infrastructure to chase the answer we needed in a timely fashion.

Looking back at all we've lost, this grave time will actually spur a much larger scope of growth over the next 20-30 years. We will have another roaring twenties. Yet, here in the US, people walk around talking about how little the government works or how incompetent lawmakers are. Well, it's not all of them. Just enough of them that they keep the system gummed up.

Term limits are the singular answer the US needs, now more than ever. It could beat back the corruption we see from the likes of McConnell and Pelosi, two people more concerned with their grip on power than actual for-goodness changes. But as long as Trump remains relevant, we will see a vast division among lawmakers, which will destroy infrastructure built by the government to help people. The voting rights laws being rolled back in Georgia are a fantastic example. However, on the grand stage, those same supporters can never win any real gains. This boils down to the fact that his backers do so based on a lie. As long as that lie exists McConnell and Cruz, and their like, can never engage in any advancements for fear of being killed by Trump's base.

If Trump had followed his supporters to the Capital on Jan. 6th, our government would have failed. We were close. It's a good thing he's more interested in tv ratings than reality.
Back in late 2015, I was working at a media firm and one of our top directors called together a meeting with our engineering team to talk to us about the impact of our products/content. He was convinced that by 2018 most people would be using self-driving cars regularly and that this was going to hurt our core product.

They're paid for the long-term, strategic value the owners think they might provide the company in comparison to other candidates.

When I read the title I immediately thought of a "laser tip" that and reading the reflections of it, not something based on software that would "read" an an image.

Following this animation I'm left thinking that you could do a bit of filtering to better extract the wave(s) from an image, though you'd require a particular setup for the lighting conditions to get the best possible quality out of it. And then back to my first idea: probably a laser-tip would be the best tool here too.

I used to live in Mountain View where Waymo tests their cars so I would observe them quite often. I sat a railroad crossing with one, thinking about what could go wrong. What if the signal didn't work, but you could hear the train coming and see it way off to the right or left if you looked. Are Waymo cars listening for trains? Or are they looking at railroad guards only? I suppose they could program the train schedule in, but what if the train system changes the schedule? That could be adjusted for, but how much would I trust this system? Not enough to take a nap behind the wheel.

This article was focused primarily on Rust, which does not have that problem.

Needing to add async to a function is problematic in JS, but it's far less problematic than the alternative which is completely rewriting your function to be event-driven. Blocking network calls aren't a possibility in JS due to the choice to make the entire runtime single-threaded.
There is validity in the idea that off campus speech on social media can interfere with on campus activities, but I think the slope is far to slippery to allow the government (yes public schools are the government) to extend to all students and all times because social media posts can disrupt the learning environments. Kids already check their constitutional rights at the door of the school, and they can regulate their own platforms, but there is no way the courts can allow schools unmitigated power to rear children on behalf of the government 24/7 in all mediums of expression.

The bullying argument by the school is rich, because that is exactly what these adults are doing, they are bullying a kid into keeping quiet about the schools behavior.

Sure kids can be bullied on social media off campus but the school doesn’t need to regulate that, the law provides remedies, and if the bullying extends from an off campus social media post to an on campus violation then the school can step in at that time and punish that behavior.

What is reprehensible about how she did what she did?
Unless you have a precise map of all the weed locations, precise location in absolute world coordinates doesn't seem too important. You'd need fairly precise and accurate relative positioning from tank to drone and drone to weed, though. Drone to weed could be done via camera (you need to detect the weed anyway), but tank to drone would likely be a difficult engineering problem.

A flying drone seems like the wrong way to solve the problem, though. For a drone close enough to the ground to reliably detect weeds, you'd likely need a multi-rotor, a slow flying fixed wing aircraft, or a blimp. A multirotor has a huge energy penalty, and a fixed wing aircraft or blimp loses the practical gains vs. just using a tractor of some sort.

All of the communications on these channels are typically legally discoverable, so it makes sense you don't want to introduce potential vectors for political discrimination in an increasingly remote world.

There are plenty of non political topics to cover...Gardening, pets, clothing, home renovation, local music events and festivals, kids, etc. In all the teams I've been on, political topics never came up. It's okay to find friends outside of work and discuss politics with them; your social network doesn't have to center on the workplace.
I still have that reaction every time I hear someone refer to 'green threads'.
> The evidence is all out there in the open

But, clearly, not everyone is reading the same things. How could they? Humans aren't a hivemind. I understand that other people can have read different things than I have, that they can have a different view of things than I do, so I present my side of the argument with the evidence that I can find.

Even given the same evidence, I understand that other people can have different interpretations of them, so I present my interpretations while asking for theirs, in the hope that they're sensible people.

> I've linked and quoted repeatedly throughout here

Your discourse with me here has consisted solely of you calling me names (specifically, "idiot cultist") and complaining about other people. Other people that you passive-aggressively lump me into.

> there's a link in the header to UMN's response.

Plenty have seen and read it. I don't know what point you're trying to make by alluding to a curt announcement that can be reduced to "we've paused the research group's activities and are looking into the matter".

Or perhaps you meant to point to the professor's response instead of UMN's. You and I clearly aren't reading it the same way, but I did not bring it up in our discussion and I do not want to now because I do not believe you are being sensible here.

> The bias is so blatant, as always - the Linux community continues to refuse to hold maintainers accountable.

Whatever their crimes are, your behaviour here has been unmitigably worse, and you refuse to hold yourself accountable.

> If people can't be bothered to read the evidence I'm not going to continue to discuss this in good faith.

You haven't been. But, what's worse, you've been trying to prevent others (like me and the person you replied to when you called me an "idiot cultist") from doing so as well.
For "normal" mobbing, 6 people is too many. If I had 6 devs coding (which I often do) that's very rarely going to be a single mob. It could split up 2/2/2, 3/3, 1/2/3 or whatever, but a single group of 6 is really inefficient.

This reads like harm prevention rhetoric with a thin veil of authoritarianism.
"post-hoc silliness"? In March, we had seen what had happened in China and Italy already. We were watching how other countries were investing. We chose not to invest.

When a government fails to do something about an entirely predictable outcome, that is not just an error, it is also a failure.

You have a really surprising way to view things: All governments can be excused for inaction or even the wrong action with this logic.
The 'who have never met' isn't the opposite of 'all know each other', it's no two people of these three know each other. The opposite would be don't all know each other.

Good. I don't think anybody should use them and I hope nobody actually uses them.

If over a decade of doing Java on Linux has taught me anything then it is to avoid using anything Java related from any Linux distribution and instead "install" (unzip or untar) what you need yourself.

I don't see why Fedora needs to build their own versions of JARs instead of using the ones the projects builds. The only answer I heard is "this is how we roll". It seems like they have this one process built for C system libraries and try to use it for everything whether it makes sense or not.

The only exception I can think of is if you're on RHEL and want to use the RHEL Java because of the support contract.

Every single revoking of civil liberties (e.g. censorship) has been done in the name of safety. That doesn’t make it acceptable.

If you want to combat misinformation, pick a better solution. And as I said above, censorship is pretty much impossible, both legally and technologically. It simply cannot be done.
> We believe that a vision-only system is ultimately all that is needed for full autonomy. Our AI-based software architecture has been increasingly reliant on cameras, to the point where radar is becoming unnecessary earlier than expected. As a result, our FSD team is fully focused on evolving to a vision-based autonomous system and we are nearly ready to switch the US market to Tesla Vision.

This is a huge gamble IMHO. If you have access to LIDAR and RADAR, why not use them?
Tangential: What if antivirus companies write viruses, so users buy and install their software to defend themselves?
I mean, most of the blog post is actually in some sense relevant regardless, because updating blockram contents and blockram inference is relevant to all the tools. And in some cases the problem is actually worse in the open source tools, e.g. ECP5 blockram inference is very incomplete in Yosys, meaning you have to manually instantiate the primitive anyway for reliability. So actually you have to deal with "any of this" quite a lot more in open source tooling in some cases.

I'm also not sure what the point of posts like this in general are. "You've done this thing. But I don't like it. Why didn't you do this other thing instead, that I like and confirms my priors?" Well, because they presumably had this particular problem, not whatever problem you would prefer them to have. It would be nice, though.

I don't think that counts as "threatening speech" in terms that the parent comment was attempting to describe it. This feels more like cyberbullying, which I agree on with you, cops shouldn't be dealing with this kind of stuff.

In this context, I think "threatening speech" refers more to stuff like an actual threat of imminent danger to people, like a bomb threat or other things of similar nature.
Thank you for this interesting comment. Are there any places on the internet where you can find worthwhile discussions about this stuff?
