What are you talking about? Cars are an absolute disaster for humanity... one of the biggest mistakes humans ever made. Maybe try another analogy
But cars had value. They have value. They had value from day 1.

Cryptocurrencies just don't. It's all smoke and mirrors, where everything would be better without the blockchain. Without irreversibility. Without everything about it.

There are whole books about how terrible and useless it is.

And please do what the article said: How much of your own money is dependent on you selling the lie of cryptocurrency or smart contract to the next level in this multi level marketing?

I sold my BTC when it was at $15k, because I felt disgusted in participating in this super-immoral going-nowhere-moral tech, so my balance is 0.

I made a profit, sure, but regret touching it at all.

> Same will hold true for cryptocurrency.

By this logic you could start kicking puppies, because "eventually something good will come out of kicking puppies", and just as baseless reasoning.
You can use medium hacked chrome extension to bypass the paywall.
The article is wrong about that as far as charging hourly for service. The profit share comes from OEM parts and from selling the original machine wholesale to the distributor. There is some shared sales & marketing expense between corporate and the distributors’ group as well, including marketing the benefits of the service network.

I would see the drones being used to help map weed concentration and optimize the route/efficiency of the weed killing robot, not using drones to kill the weeds.

There are already solutions that use drone photogrammetry to map crop health, ground coverage and so on. It feels like a logical next step to use a drone to assist mapping the best route/find problem areas to target for the weed-roomba.

Denial, great argument.
The complaints described in the article seem to center around the reddit administrators directing responsibility to community moderators, who are in theory accountable to their communities but in practice are often not, and also (on the larger subs, at least) have conflicts of interest and personal relationships with reddit employees/admins. There's a decade of drama you can pick through here.

I can't speak to the actual legal merits of the case, but I think it's pretty easy to portray a narrative that shows reddit's admins couldn't possibly have expected these kinds of problems to be resolved by community moderation, and perhaps even looked the other way when their friends' subreddits were involved.

I also won't speculate on the specifics of what reddit may have implemented, but fuzzy image and video matching is a well researched area. A technical solution here is within the capability of an above average engineering team. If it doesn't exist, it's because the "let community moderators deal with non-consensual pornography" strategy is acceptable to Redddit's management.

> It now appears that Aditya’s patch was submitted in good faith.

Citation needed.

> Greg accused him of intentionally submitting bad patches.

From GKH's response to Pakki's claims:

They obviously were _NOT_ created by a static analysis tool that is of any intelligence, as they all are the result of totally different patterns, and all of which are obviously not even fixing anything at all. So what am I supposed to think here, other than that you and your group are continuing to experiment on the kernel community developers by sending such nonsense patches?

When submitting patches created by a tool, everyone who does so submits them with wording like "found by tool XXX, we are not sure if this is correct or not, please advise." which is NOT what you did here at all. You were not asking for help, you were claiming that these were legitimate fixes, which you KNEW to be incorrect.

A few minutes with anyone with the semblance of knowledge of C can see that your submissions do NOT do anything at all, so to think that a tool created them, and then that you thought they were a valid "fix" is totally negligent on your part, not ours. You are the one at fault, it is not our job to be the test subjects of a tool you create.

> That accusation was false.

The accusation is that either Aditya "KNEW" the fixes he claimed to be legitimate were incorrect, or he has not a "semblance of knowledge of C" to see that his submission do NOT do anything at all, or that he was "negligent" on his part.

I've seen no evidence of this accusation being false.

There is a similar kind of division of labor in physics between theorists and experimentalists. The cultural difference is closer to that between mathemeticians and engineers, but of course both groups are entirely dependent on each other and most successful collaborations have both. The days of solo publishing are mostly over.
Money transfers are highly regulated for a reason. Money can be used to do all sorts of negative things. Advanced democracies all put heavy restrictions on such activity to prevent tax evasion, prevent money laundering, and control capital flight - these aren't illegitimate. There is a balance to be struck between state control and surveillance and laissez faire, however.
Cloudflare might be doing something that helps others when defending from patent trolls, but that's a side effect. We know what side of history Cloudflare wants to be on - they want to recentralize the Internet and control as much of it as possible.

They're decent at marketing themselves as "good guys", but after way too many examples of caring more about money than doing the right thing, we all know what Cloudflare is really about.

Nice try, Cloudflare.

Reads like it was written by someone who is absolutely clueless about the current state of AI and how close we'll be to being able to "automate a CEO" anytime soon.
"the people who hire CEOs are the boards of companies and the boards of companies are mainly staffed by CEOs of other companies who unsurprisingly are incentivized to advocate for higher CEO pay."
And pretty well any company throughout history has made sure the public knows about its investment.
Wonderful step.

An even better one is to immediately release the raw data from the ongoing RCT, as a substantial chorus of scientists has asked, and to which Peter Doshi has given articulate voice in BMJ: https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/01/04/peter-doshi-pfizer-and-...
Your post is good overall but I am not so sure about this part:

"as they require two doses per person and are more demanding in the refrigeration requirements."

Moderna doesn't require overly deep refrigeration, that is Pfizer. The difference is a technical one and one that Pfizer believes they can solve. So while it is true of the current Pfizer vaccines, it isn't true of mRNA vaccines generally.

Secondly, the two dose regimen is unnecessary, IMO. Pfizer and Moderna have higher efficacy with one dose than J&J or Astrazeneca have after their one shot. The FDA and others insisting on two doses is because of Pfizer and Moderna's original process called for two doses as they wanted to be sure of the efficacy and that is what they got approval for. Given many doctors are looking at the pandemic from the perspective of a patient rather than that of a population and a disease, they aren't willing to admit that two doses for Pfizer and Moderna is unnecessary and putting far more lives at risk.

The rest of the world can benefit, as those countries that can afford the higher priced vaccine may do so as they are more effective and available now, which helps to get them out of the market of the lower cost vaccines. That decrease in demand for J&J and others can then be filled by countries that don't have the funding or the infrastructure for the current mRNA vaccines, thereby keeping their price low.

I prefer to stick to physical recipe books from trusted chefs. Sure, the internet can deliver the breadth and depth, but to wade through this comes not only with the large search cost but also with the risk of a poor recipe... and don't get me started on recipe websites that don't have metric measurements!
Well that's the reality of our economy in 2021. A tech behemoth coming to your town and adding jobs + the human capital + tax base that comes with it can be transformative, and there's few other options for localized economic growth sadly.
I live in Missouri and have spent some time at Cahokia. They have an awesome Visitors Center with a huge display of artifacts there. My wife and I have also visited several sites in the Yucatan including the museum in Merida where they have a huge number of artifacts.

When we mentioned to an employee at the Visitors Center at Cahokia that the art and artifacts were very similar to those we saw in the Yucatan and it seems plausible that those cultures were known to each other they responded with a statement that was a scripted response that denied any connection to any other culture and insisted there is none at all. It sounded exactly like something a lawyer would craft and they ignored everything we brought up that implied their could be any connection.

From what I could gather the reason for that is if any connection to a living tribe of indigenous peoples could be proved the privately owned lands surrounding the Cahokia site where there are mounds, and there are a lot of them, could be claimed as sacred sites to those tribes and would have to be returned to them.

So my take away is the State of Illinois is actively dissuading research that could provide more insight to who lived there and what actually became of them and anyone who tries to prove otherwise is booted out of the conversation.
I changed teams at work (Google) to one that uses a C++ codebase that has survived for 20 years. As someone writing C++ for the first time, clang-tidy has been huge. It stops so many screw ups before I get to the code reviewer.

I've not found C++ as bad as I worried, partly because Google's style guide limits the amount of silliness you can do, partly because I have avoided memory issues by just never allocating to the heap using `new` with smart pointers, but mostly because Clang and Clang-Tidy have helped me avoid all the footguns.

I wouldn't write a new project in C++ (especially outside Google where the package management ecosystem is non-existant), but I'm no longer of the opinion that I would never join a team just because their current codebase was written in C++.

Having no E2E by default (or at all) is, probably, intentional.
The problem of destructor chains has been solved a long time ago. You can deallocate on another thread or deallocate in small batches during allocations.

Also pauses from malloc/free are orders of magnitude smaller than pauses caused by tracing GC. Low pause tracing GC creators make it a big news when they manage to get pauses below 1 ms, while malloc/free operate in range of tens or maybe hundreds nanoseconds.

Tracing GC can pause a fragment of code that does not make any allocations. Refcounting can't. Refcounting has only local effects - you pay for it where you use it. But when you add tracing GC, its problems spread everywhere.

I know a lot of farmers that would respond very well to having "laser weed killer" as a product. I get the feeling the video feed would be amazing. Throw in pest killing and you own the market.

Although I keep thinking the movie Runaway (1984) is going to be a much truer representation of reality than I would like.
> A general pattern seems to be that Artificial Intelligence is used when first doing some new thing. Then, once the value of doing that thing is established, society will find a way to provide the necessary data in a machine readable format, obviating (and improving on) the AI models.

Fascinating observation. Maybe the real value of AI is bootstrapping solutions to these public goods problems.
Most exchange don't accept credit card. And even if they accept they charge additional fees. Almost all exchanges charge users for transaction costs and most of the time more than the real cost itself. Most of the new exchanges runs their own bots to put liquidity.
I like it, but if it's going to burn fuel to power a laser, wouldn't it be much more efficient to just put a blowtorch on a robotic arm?
With an exchange, you can have a centralised database of how much is in each person's account.

So for internal transfers, you can just update the good old relational database and dodge the fees.

For transfers between exchanges, they can settle the net balance daily (or have some thresholds etc) to minimise any actual on-ledger transfers.

Of course all this makes the decentralized aspect of the currency pointless, but most people don't actually understand or care.

This article is just an aimless rant about CEO high wages. At no point there was a coherent argument or explanation of how such automation could be achieved.

The author seems to think that just because there's AI that is relatively good at taking decisions then that's enough to argue that CEOs should be superseded by said AIs. "If an AI can make it, why pay millions of dollars to human CEOs?"... As it was that simple.

The author also ignores completely the basic laws of economics. Does he think that this is some sort of AI that you will be able to buy from a shelf? Provided by a SaaS Vendor at 100 USD a month?
Because that's the only way you can make a meaningful economic argument around this. But the reality is that if this is even remotely possible, it would have a huge R&D price tag and it won't be a product that can be sold at scale by a vendor.

That would defeat the economic incentives behind having a good decision maker taking the crucial decisions of your company. All decisions would look the same across several competitors if those decisions are taken by the same type of AI.
This effectively makes such AI obsolete and operationally disadvantageous.
So, you must build a proprietary replacement for your CEO and building such AI could be several orders of magnitude more expensive than hiring and paying a CEO.

CEOs can't be automated. At least not soon. People who believe abstract decision-making jobs can be automated don't understand what automation is about or what's capable of.
AI as it exists today can't automate CEO jobs or any kind of job where the output of a worker is to take extraordinarily complex and multi-variable decisions.
i'm sure i'm oversimplifying but if you can reliably identify your crop then everything else is a weed. Maybe put some kind of GMO marker that makes what you want to keep stick out like a sore thumb then you just nuke everything else.
That's all well and good until your automated CEO decides to pivot the company to being a dildo manufacturer because it finds an arbitrage opportunity in Amsterdam.
Not an article, a press release from Apple. Of course their PR team is going to spin it as positive as possible, that's their job. Used to be, reporters would pick this up and do their best to take the spin off, do a few interviews and provide additional context.
The problem is there's no way to evaluate if CEO($10M) is actually that much better than CEO($2M). How would you retroactively test the counterfactual of hiring the cheaper candidate?

Maybe in the future the stock price of robo-CEO companies can be used as a baseline. If you can't beat the robot index, then you're fired. (Obviously this will never happen because the board members are other CEOs, but you get the idea).
If we look at Lightning, it enables a full implementation of the 402 response code flow, which would allow for decentralized identity and payments in the use of machine learning networks for a wide variety of AI based systems. One such use case may end up being the "killer" use case for crypto and may make up for the speculative phase we're in now.
I have to say I am very impressed by your moral compass's sense of market timing!
Why is the threshold set at "stomping out cryptocurrency"? The state as the resources to prosecute a lot of crimes. The US has a huge incarceration rate.

Even if cryptocurrencies weren't completely stomped out, shouting "Bitcoin lives!" from a prison cell wouldn't be that helpful to the person serving the sentence. The "many-headed hydra" isn't much use to the severed heads.

Moreover I don't think the failure of the "War on Drugs" provides a relevant example. The inability of the government to stamp out illegal drugs doesn't indicate that it would be a reasonable risk for many (or most) people to maintain their wealth in cryptocurrencies, if cryptocurrencies were to become illegal.

What does info add over plain old manual pages? I honestly don't really know, since I usually forget that info even exists.

I feel like the effort the GNU project put into creating a competing standard for documentation would have been better spent improving the tooling around the standard man page mechanisms instead.
Announcing a new multi-billion dollar campus during a pandemic strikes me as so fucking out of touch, and goes against the direction the industry was already going pre-pandemic. IMO at this point they should just fold and start transitioning to permanent work from home like the vast majority of startups and tech companies. This terrifies FANG because then they will have a vacant campus and whoever commissioned it will look pretty dumb. Dumber is spending multi-billion dollars on a campus when you could work from home.
That's great news. I can think of another project using LGPL but (I suspect) with the same intention as you. I will spread the word the MPL might be a better fit.
The reason the dollar is a currency is because of the existence of a force (in this case, the Fed) that can tamp down speculation and deflation. Cryptocurrency doesn't have this, and that is its central failing.

Early alphabetic writing in the ancient Near East: the ‘missing link’
The typical, well known blog pattern for writing against C++: Show some buggy code an then conclude that C++ is wrong. Instead of asking: Who is wrong, the programmer trying to speak the language or the language itself? As always: Only use what you understand how it works. Instead of directly escalating it to cardinal questions of language superiority he had better used his time constructively and wrote a tutorial on how to correctly use things like string_view and span, that are a typed reference to memory that exceed the live time of the string_view.
Sure, but if it doesn't have rundle potential it's not a modern business.
It's a press release. What else would you expect?

They aren't claiming to be investing more or less than anyone else. They are simply advertising their plans.

I think Apple's "amazing" infomercials are over the top, but this press release seems anodyne.
The gemini project is trying to remove all financial incentives from a new web of content: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

What is your stake in crypto?
>You could never have crypto in an anarchist vacuum.

This seems like a strawman to me? You can be for replacing the world's monetary system with cryptocurrency, and still believe in having a government with police, roads, and schools.
Java is faster in almost any way (compared to C#). Do you have benchmarks showing i am wrong ?
It also has multiple AOT compilers and a much larger eco-system.
Yes, but that implies that they bring something valuable to the company if companies are still willing to pay these premiums instead of just moving up an employee to CEO. So, what is the problem in the first place?
> webserver which calls a parser module which calls an external library

There's your problem right there. Nested calls are killing us.

That parser module should be a pure transformation function. If it has requirements, your main webserver should be fetching it. If you need to first query the parser to know if it has any requirements for this call, you can do so as a separate pure function. That query will then respond with a value that your webserver can then use to call the external library with. When the impure external library responds, with no external changes, you can now pass that into the parser module to get your parsed object out.

Now when you want to add logging to the external library, ideally you can do so at the webserver level, but otherwise you only need to add logging to the external library, and your parser doesn't change at all.
