> Am I wrong in thinking that with the passing of time the probability of such an event tends to 1?

You're forgetting to factor in the human element. Technology doesn't progress independently. There are dampening effects when the "real world" decides technological possibilities don't fit the world they want (for example, copyright applies artificial limits to the infinite copying potential of digital assets, or the recent EU politics around AI).

So I suspect relatively isolated cases like this will eventually lead to a push for legislation on automotive digital security. Cynically, I suspect in a way that raises barriers to entry to the market after the incumbents have secured their market share, but that's still probably better than the alternative.
Why would developers have to interact with a mypyc step any more than the pyc step? Why is “developers might have to interact with it” some kind of non-starter, as though having a compile phase is a worse evil than a hyper-slow language?

FWIW, I think we could probably buy ourselves a lot of latitude to optimize CPython by designating a much smaller API surface (like h.py) and then optimizations largely won’t have to worry about breaking compatibility with C-extensions (which seems to be the biggest reason CPython is unoptimized).

But in general I’ve lost faith in the maintainers’ leadership to drive through this kind of change (or similarly, to fix package management), so I’ve moved on to greener pastures (Go for the most part, with some Rust here and there) and everything is just so easy nowadays compared to my ~15 years as a Python developer.
Much appreciated. Thanks!

I think skin tone color band aids are different, people have different skin tones and the old default only blended well on people with light skin so the new ones are nice for people.

With emoji people took a neutral non-racial thing and inserted race into it. In addition to the complexity of doing that well it just puts race and all the identity issues tied to it into a place it didn’t need to be. I think this generally makes things worse.
> Yes, it's true that GPT-3 can spout non-sequitars. But overall, it does stay on topic quite well, as compared to previous iterations like GPT-2.

I've heard GPT-3 could produce better text than BuzzFeed writers. You could read it without even spotting a difference.

It doesn't so much imply GPT-3 is so good (it is good, no denying that) as it implies how amazingly content-free BuzzFeed is. And mind you, there are people working on BF, writing articles and whatnot, and making pretty penny off it. Even more people read the stuff.

Maybe we the humans actually need to dilute grains of actual useful information into gobs of fluff to be able to process it well, just like vitamins have different bioavailability depending on which food they are contained within. I'm fine with this conclusion too. It's just amusing to be aware of that.

Next thing we're going to learn is that a remote-working middle manager at some large company who's rather good at his job and even has awarded annual bonuses, is discovered to have been a GPT-3 (or maybe GPT-4) simulacrum all along, with his subordinates and bosses alike being none the wiser. Which is going to say tons about the standards of management at that company.
You don’t think that kind of thing happens now? You’ve never been in an organization where middle managers carve out little kingdoms for themselves and bicker and fight with one another, trying to get each other’s projects canceled, trying to avoid changing the way they do things even when it’s clearly inefficient?
I find this to be an interesting thing about reading the Torvads–Tanenbaum debate, that both sides seemed to assume without much consideration that the best instruction set, and product in general, would always win.

With instruction sets in particular, there is a very large amount of inertia.

Iran has cyber security professionals - and physical controls over the hardware - but thus far that doesn't seem to be perfect protection against stuff like Stuxnet. The idea that cars can't be effectively and rapidly hacked seems overconfident.
First, as other posters have mentioned, there are b shares that trade in the hundreds of dollars - BRK.B. Yes, their voting rights are disproportionately lower, but you can still get a stake in the ownership without having $400,000 in your bank account.

I own B shares. It doesn’t bother me that I have fewer voting rights because I trust my fellow Berkshire owners. So there’s little barrier to entry in merely owning a small stake in Berkshire’s economic output.

Second, if you want to argue there’s a barrier to entry for voting purposes, that also doesn’t make sense: you need to have a ton of ownership in any stock to make a difference in ownership as an outside investor. It doesn’t matter if the share price is $1 million or $10 if I need $50 million in share value to make a dent in voting.

Third, Buffett has stated that he doesn’t want to split shares because he wants to encourage long-term owners. There’s a lack of liquidity in A shares; I’ve heard usually only about 1,200 trade a day. He, and I’m sure many other Berkshire shareholders, want their fellow shareholders to think like long-term owners of a private business, especially for shareholders with a lot of voting influence. A high share price and its corresponding low liquidity encourages that.
Yes, I'm looking for something that can display plots like a jupyter notebook could so the low resolution solutions don't really cut it. Maybe it's good as a fallback, though..

> it ends up still representing the majority

What does that mean though? I see Fat Tony as Italian-American, Rainier Wolfcastle as Austrian, and Akira as Japanese. The majority of the population of Springfield, which is supposed to be somewhere in North America, is probably "white".

So the context of the show itself, and how characters are portrayed imply their race/nationality. This is not true of an emoji.
It shouldn't matter. But it turns out being "color blind" (a term which I, a person with deuteranomaly, loathe) actually means you also lose the language to talk about racism that still exists for now.

It also encourages you to think of yourself as enlightened and rational and not subject to racist biases that are woven throughout the culture you exist in. It creates a false dichotomy between "those racists" who do racist things because they have racist thoughts and "color blind me" who is not a racist because I can't possibly have racist thoughts and thus am actually incapable of doing a racism. This is a thought-terminating cliché that prevents changing "racists" (by essentializing their racism as an inherent trait of who they are) or reflecting on how your own behavior might feed into racist systems you exist within (because if I'm not "a racist", accusing me of doing anything racist is clearly an insult to the integrity of my character).

There's a reason MLK said he had a dream. A world where skin color doesn't matter is the goal. But you don't get there by just deciding skin color doesn't matter to you and declaring the mission accomplished.

Not all tracking is user-specific, but you do raise an interesting point, how to (thinking as a site owner) remove personal info from the URL, but still pass that info around locally.

Cookies is one way (if we stick to the domain), possibly using sidecar AJAX requests and localState is another.

Or maybe we can leave it all in the URL, but encrypt it with a key in a cookie, thus without the cookie, the info is recognized as foreign when passed around. Hmm yeah, not bad.
I would guess diet and exposure.
Glad to know every place is equally subject to shitty practice.
You've missed the point completely and have created a strawman-based rant.

The problem with emoji is that there is no dictionary, no standardised meaning or interpretation guidelines; no unified, context-dependent cues that everyone subconsciously agrees to. When you try to communicate non-verbal cues using them, it works well because there is a general understanding of what is meant though even there, cultural differences sometimes get in the way. Something like a smile cuts across cultures pretty universally.

When emoji start getting overused to the point where you have to draw meaning from the skin tones involved in a handshake, that's a step too far IMHO. This is precisely why we struggle with deciphering hieroglyphics and precisely why emoji must remain a supplement to language, not a replacement for it as many use.
Often you can put a "@numba.jit" decorator at the top of a calc-heavy function, and reclaim a good portion of C's performance.

It is so simple it is definitely worth trying.

I did it for Bloom tree implementation, and got to within around 3x of the C code it replaced.
> However, please point me to a law that says it's illegal to give a gift from one private company to another for any kind of advantage.

Company B,Z or X didn't gift Netflix, they gifted a Netflix employee who then defrauded the company he worked for of its money, in exchange for these personal gifts and money. The "defrauding" part is his hierarchy not being aware of that arrangement.

It's called fraud and it's illegal. It's so illegal it is a federal crime.
It's called "concern trolling" btw.

This was a reasonable requirement for an academic language but it's utterly dogmatic for one of the most used languages in the world.
That works if you want to get a clean URL to share with others. But if instead you have gotten a link then not using built-in patters means you would first need to retrieve the site with the tracking parameters to get to the canonical URL.

I suspect - but obviously cannot prove - that this is an arena where being challenged means you've already lost because your claim is not credible. You're right, it's odd that something that's supposedly a clear signal is so murky to others.

Obviously this suggests that the status symbol hypothesis is kinda weak.

Big disadvantage of custom implementations is the fact that they are custom. If you change the constraints / requirements then suddenly they do not work.

Tailored implementations are great for problems that you have to solve frequently with no changes to the structure. In reality, requirements frequently change breaking many of previously valid assumptions for efficiently filtering the feasible space.

> No-one is entitled to sex.

If you put it this way, nobody is entitled to food and shelter either. But we all need these things. Yes, some people can do away with sex, and if it's by their own choice, probably most of them do fine (many don't). But when it happens in marriage, then it's over, also legally - most jurisdictions recognize this.
Show HN: Another Query Optimization Algorithm for PostgreSQL
Hello Everyone!

I have implemented a query optimization algorithm for PostgreSQL. The novelty here was supposed to be that the query optimization phase could be split up into sub-optimization steps which could be executed on multiple workers parallely. I think there are not many real world use cases for this. I could only think of a contrived setting where one has to do some data-analysis on many (100s) of data sources, where searching for a join plan might be a bottleneck.

Anyway, as you will find, if you visit the repository, that I found it difficult to use threads/fork processes in Postgres in a way that was reliable and safe. I would like people's opinion on whether the use case I described earlier is a real one and if so, can we parallelize join optimization in Postgres?

"Unsophisticated" investors see the big number and the price history (which is much simpler without splits) and see the power of compounding plainly. There's not much more to it than that.
It would depend on my perception of their intent, but then I live in a place where I am in the majority so ultimately it's hard to truly judge that. The recaps didn't make it sound like there was a targeted ethnicity though (the information I saw to go by: 6/78 names were Asian; English and Nordic examples were given and then it's suggested the bulk were like that - but it's ambiguous as to whether that meant Caucasian, or that they were collated because they were similar examples). Notable names come from all cultures, in my experience (I often watch film credits looking for interesting names).

Assuming that it wasn't malicious or targeted, I'd expect the managerial response to be "Hey - this list is not really showing respect to our customers on a couple of fronts, so please wipe it ASAP. I understand that you weren't aware of why it's truly problematic, but you're aware now and I don't expect to see something like this again."

As I've said elsewhere though, I don't live in a place that feels as politically polarised, so I'm sure that's a serious factor.

Energy storage technologies should come of age this decade: Other than Lithium-ion batteries there are Zinc air batteries, Redox flow batteries, Liquid air storage, probably mechanical storages of some kind. Still a decade too early for Hydrogen but many other technologies will mature and give a boost to solar and wind.

Solar still has some room to run and go much lower in cost with such low marginal costs that we will produce 3-4x of demand and throw away surplus if energy storage is not available.

What this evidence shows is that your proposed explanation of a simulation session being accidentally left to run does not explain the specific evidence found.

In addition, the waypoints of the multiple track segments all have identical values for certain incidental values - something that is highly unlikely unless these segments were all recorded in the same session. This makes it extemely implausible that these segments, which are consistent with what is known of the aircraft's dog-leg track, were created accidentally.

That being said, you can throw out all the simulator evidence and still be left with a very strong case, from the reactivation of the Inmarsat equipment and the turn to the south, that someone was controlling the airplane an hour after it could have reached the airports at Kota Bharu or Penang.
What I meant under "rather civilized" was it didn't seem "going downhill" - I didn't notice any hate speech or pointless arguments in the discussion followed, only people reasonably expressing what they think in a calm manner.

I myself didn't intend any bait but expressed my genuine thoughts on the subject.

I am not sure if you cared to understand the point rather than stick to the first sentence yet I'm hesitant to explain it as I have little doubt at least somebody will flag it again.

I don't believe sustainable organic progress is possible in the areas where discussion and opinion diversity is not allowed though. Even if there is in fact only one opinion which really is right (e.g. like in the flat Earth discussion) people sharing it have to listen to the opponents and explain it to them with patience and care if they want to make change (despite the fact most of the opponents won't listen - some will, among lurkers especially).
