I was at the MS MVP Summit ~7 years ago and they had a Bing engineer give a presentation/breakout on a similar VS plugin that used the bing knowledge graph (iirc). I was crazy impressed with how well/relevant its recommendations were, but I know I didn't end up using it nor hearing anything else about it. Given how good the results were back then, my guess is that this type of thing doesn't fill a real need. That doesn't make it, and this GPT-3 version any less cool though.
Wasn't this "recommendation" accompanied by a fighter jet? That isn't exact a Milgram scenario.
You’re required to follow ATC instruction, yes, but usually in order to avoid other traffic and sequencing, not anything more.

I mean, as a driver you’re required to obey traffic lights, but they would not normally impose a destination on you.

Not really. Reasonable doubt refers to the totality of the evidence.

A piece of evidence that probably supports a guilty verdict does not undue other evidence just because it doesn't rise the level of reasonable doubt by itself.
Decoders are supposed to be bit for bit identical. It's the encoders which are different.

I think this is an interesting, but unsurprising shift in American celebrity support of China in the service of their own career and finances, but also in the growing influence the Chinese market has on American entertainers.
> How can you say that race’s role in the US has only recently become so large when there have been lynchings in the recent past, and it was legal to own someone who was black?

That's easy--I never said anything remotely like this. :) I quite explicitly scoped my claim to "within my lifetime". Indeed, everyone knows that race played a big factor in our nation's history. We made a lot of progress away from racial ideologies following the civil rights movement, and while the work isn't complete it doesn't follow that we should double down on different racial ideologies.

> One of the important take aways of those protests is understanding that these murders are not uncommon, but a part of what it means to be black in America.

I don't think that's remotely an appropriate takeaway. By all appearances, violent crime rates account for the disparity in police killings, which are indeed rare regardless of race (contrary to your "not uncommon" claim). Indeed, last time I dug into the WashPo police shootings database and filtered out all instances in which the deceased was wielding a weapon, the disparity virtually disappeared.

Further, while we're all familiar with the myriad cases of unjust police killings of black Americans, there are plenty of cases of white people heinously murdered by police which were never elevated by the media. Consider [Daniel Shaver][0], [Tony Timpa][1], and [Justine Damond][2] (all killed by police within a year or so of each other). Of course, people always say "they didn't get national attention because they weren't killed for their race" which is of course begging the question since the only evidence that George Floyd or whomever was killed for his race is the presumed lack of notable cases of white people being killed by police.

To the extent that fear of police is "part of what it means to be black in America", it appears to be a largely manufactured or vestigial fear.

The only appropriate conclusions to draw are:

1. the United States has a police brutality problem (irrespective of race)

2. that black citizens are more likely to commit crimes than citizens of other races--presumably for historical reasons--leading to a disparity in police killings of black citizens

3. the media will absolutely sow divisiveness on a nationwide scale for clicks

GCP at least takes the approach of monitoring single and double bit flips to kill offending VMs.

There's also a potential performance tradeoff (no idea if GCP is using this) of running some single channel DIMMs for isolating VMs from the kernel and kvm userspace.

"Data portability" is vague so that the law is stable and flexible. As a comparison, "drivers need to adapt driving speed to weather conditions" is equally vague. It would simply be infeasible to publish an hourly speed limit chart based on rain, fog, snow, etc. It is the responsibility of driving instructors to raise awareness on reasons to adapt the speed. Drivers need to then interpret that clause to their situation.

Similarly, it is up to industry -- either via standardization bodies or courts -- to clarify what exactly is "data portability".

> But I don't think that decoders would scale poorly, even if you had to build a complicated parallel-execution engine to discover the start-of-instruction information.

Surely we have empirical proof of that in that Apple's first iteration of a PC chip is noticeably wider than AMD's top of the line offering. On top of this we know that to make X86 run fast you have to include an entirely new layer of cache just to help the decoders out.

We've had this exact discussion on this site before, so I won't start it up again but even if you are right that you can decode in this manner I think empirically we know that the coefficient is not pretty.

I haven't had any issues with particularly long waiting times when I've needed the NHS. Indeed the one time I've used american healthcare I was waiting far longer than I was in the UK, but that was for an acute problem.

I would humbly suggest that people working for companies that have become notorious for customer-unfriendly behavior and a complete disregard for privacy, reconsider whether that is something they wish to continue to contribute to, or not. Do they wish to contribute to the coffers of a company that will use every possible means available to erode privacy, to extract maximum value from open source without giving one iota back, and to enforce more and more corporate censorship on the open web.

Advertising and a complete disregard for privacy is in every part of Google's DNA, you cannot possibly claim ignorance of it, simply because you are in a department not directly working on advertising. That is equivalent to covering your ears with your hands and going "la la la I can't hear you".

That is why it gets brought up in every discussion about Google, because one bad apple really does spoil the entire bunch, their bad behavior in regards to privacy and a complete lack of customer support taints the entire organization, and everyone who works for Google has sold their respectability for a Silicon Valley paycheck.

Everyone who works in tech needs to take a good long hard look in the mirror, and decide for themselves whether they're OK with everything their employer is doing, and if not, perhaps consider why they choose to still work there.

I don't believe those making the analogy are sympathetic to or uncritical of the Belarus government, rather they are saying "I told you so" or "the Morales incident set a precedent, surprise!". Now, Belarus might have pulled this stunt even if the Morales incident had never happened, and that's a fine counterpoint, but you really should not ascribe malice to those who point to the similarities in the two incidents because it's clearly not [always] the case. Should I ascribe malice to your ascribing malice? Please be polite.

> Actions of a state against another state's leaders is one thing. Actions against civilian aircraft is another thing entirely.

Wars have been fought over both, attacks on state ships, and attacks on civilian ships. Both are casus belli. Attacks on ships carrying heads of state are particularly problematic absent war, so technically the Morales incident was the worse one, yes (though, of course, if he'd been carrying Snowden then that would in itself have been casus belli), but that does not excuse attacks on civilians.

Co-author here of the research. The most simple and effective and rapid solution would be to impose API neutrality.
As explained in the report, it would just obliges API providers to give back the same API access to users than they give to their partners.
For instance, why I get less data from Facebook if I ask my personal data, than if I create an app and ask maximum app permission (all OAuth scopes)?
API neutrality already works. For instance, Open banking in UK and PSD2 in Europe apply API neutrality. Any 3rd party can access to a bank API if they are granted by the user to do so.
After 2 years, for instance, up to 20% of the UK online banking population beneficiated from it as "Banking data Portability via APIS" . 20% is huge.
If FAMGAs and all other big companies data was accessible via "neutral APIs" to users, data portability would be "a thing"

Also, the fact that you don't know what to do with you data dump in JSON is a blocker. With APIs, integrations by 3rd parties are simpler and more user oriented.

Last point, with API neutrality, no need of maximizing "interoperablity" (even is is always useful and makes things simpler, we have seen that with DataTransferProject it does not work really as companies don't work with the same data model)
Developers will do the matching work between the original app and the destination app, no worries, when incentive is here, middleware glue will come. The problem these days is that the source of data is useless, has no value, so no incentive. You can look at this study with GDPR Facebook data value for developers https://www.law.nyu.edu/centers/engelberg/pubs/2019-11-06-Da...
The main question is : Why a Facebook GDPR Data dump/takeout has no value for developers where Facebook API has value for millions of applications developers and businesses?
With API neutrality it will have maximum value for users (as it has already value for partners) and minimizing fatigue to implement portability (an API is lot more developer friendly than a JSON dump that you receive in 30 days via email and that the user need to upload somewhere)
Because most of those comments are of the form "the US did this once, so why is everyone upset about Belarus doing this?" as if trying to point out some hypocrisy, or defend Belarus. (I can't read the original comment now since it's flagged, so maybe it's not such a comment.)

Which presupposes that the readers are "supporters" of either the US/EU or Belarus/Russia. As if geopolitical conversations are sports matches, and nuanced observations based on dispassionate logical thought and not political or national affiliation are not possible. Gag me with a spoon.

At best, these comments derail the conversation. At worst, they are trolling or borderline nationalist propaganda. Either way they drag down the quality of discussion here on HN.

Pointing out that the US's earlier actions gave Belarus cover to "justify" such actions is at least mildly interesting as dispassionate geopolitical conversation, but that's not what most of these comments are.

Snowden came after several others who were persecuted by the US Govt. Some even had their doors kicked in and guns pointed at their faces while they were in the shower. Check out what they did to NSA's Bill Binney, who ran COMINT for the NSA and was talking about the programs used to collect data before 9/11, and after. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3owk7vEEOvs

Bradley Manning (now Chelsea) and Tom Drake (NSA) also had some interesting things to say. Here's a good interview with Drake and his lawyer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEq42BDBVWk

It was actually because of how these other whistleblower cases were handled being the reason why Snowden went to the press instead of followed in their footsteps and reporting up the chain of command.
Google’s mysterious Fuchsia OS makes its public debut on the first-gen Nest Hub
I'm one of those who call Socrates a troll. The problem isn't just that it's unwelcome but that it's unproductive. It proves only that the person isn't capable of supporting their own premise, not that the premise is wrong. It doesn't lead to truths on its own, and doesn't point in the direction of improved hypotheses.

Socrates then makes the assertion that he knows nothing, and is therefore immune to such treatment (and is thus superior). He's not putting himself on the line -- exactly the kind of thing that trolls do.

If Socrates asks you what "virtue" is, what can you say except, "I dunno. Why are you asking? What is it you actually want to know?"

Modern Socratic method isn't really all that similar to what Socrates actually did. It's intended to be cooperative, rather than adversarial. It's nominally based on the dialogue in Meno, which is really more about epistemology than about pedagogy (and which draws Socrates to some weird conclusions about past lives).

Even so, it's not really meant to be argumentation. It's not between equals. The teacher leads the student to "discover" the truth that the teacher already knows. Not just knows, but knows so thoroughly that they can guide the student around all of the possible mis-steps.

I'm all for respectful dialogue, but that's not really what either Socrates nor the modern pedagogues who take inspiration from him are doing. I'll be honest that I've got disagreements with the notion of respectful dialogue as well, but they're off-topic here.

Ultimately, the entire biosphere serves only to more efficiently reradiate energy absorbed from the sun (plus a bit from older stars in the form of fissiles) into space. All of the energy that originally went into carbon chains to form that wood came from those sources originally, and while the energy released by burning it has been lost forever, there's no shortage of replacement energy.

If I were developing this, I'd probably be running it in a notebook, and inspecting output on a few rows from the data frame. It would be easy enough to capture both the input and output and throw it into a stopifnot to record the testing that was performed interactively.
This is kind of a weird area. I only have the US FAR/AIM in front of me, a lot of this is harmonized internationally by ICAO but I'm not sure how complete that is in these more edge cases. But in general there is no procedure that allows a controller to "take command" of an airplane, however, there is a procedure (this is ICAO harmonized) for the military to instruct aircraft via emergency security control (ESCAT) or intercept. In the case of ESCAT the book doesn't say compliance is mandatory but rather expected, so presumably a PIC could refuse to comply under the normal safety of flight rules (a pilot is not obligated to obey any instruction that, in their judgment, puts the aircraft in danger). In the case of intercept compliance is mandatory, but intercept is also a very specific procedure which is not reported to have occurred here. At least from the reporting it sounds more like the fighter that was sent appeared as an escort, which is a distinct situation from intercept (and fairly normal in a bomb threat situation, in order to immediately report the what and where if a bomb does go off to speed SAR response). For the US rules see AIM 5-6-12 and up. It does not appear that any of these rules were invoked in this situation.
Will you please elaborate? This is interesting and I, and I assume many others, am pretty ignorant with respect to the goings on in Cuba.

> Investors: We've raised several million dollars from amazing VCs like General Catalyst and Kleiner Perkins, and angels like Jason Warner, Adam Gross, Olivier Pomel, Scott Belsky, Will Gaybrick and a handful of other impressive dev tool founders and executives.

That may be true for sources and amplifiers, but not for speakers/headphones.

JavaScript isn't going anywhere, I believe.

And I'm not saying this because I think it's the best ever, or because I don't learn from history and how things change.

It's the nature of the web. We're still dragging things from HTTP/0.9 and and from HTML 1.0 along.

But also, JS is a capable script engine with millions of USD put into engineering VMs into it, and the networks effects are inescapable. I don't see WASM replacing it either. They'll be used in tandem.
But it's not a closed system. You have essentially free energy from the sun, waves, wind, geothermal etc. and and a whole natural energy conversion apparatus, which offsets the resource limitations that do exist.
