Anecdotally, I know someone who saw the Electric Hummer commercial during the Super Bowl earlier this year and it led him down a path that ended in him buying a Model Y a few weeks ago. Other players announcing vehicles that are years away from production is a net positive for Tesla sales. It's counter intuitive so not many people under stand that but it is definitely a thing from what I've observed. The mechanism is that you have these companies talking about electric vehicles which brings more attention to the coming change in technology and Tesla has a wider selection of best in class for the price electric vehicles than anyone else that you can buy right now and not wait.
It might be watching as entertainment, but it's not really worth watching if you're looking for objective analysis. ie. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26749401 (or the rest of the thread)
That's a strawman. I'm not criticizing Android here, we're talking about Apple's responsibility to the consumer. As someone who owns several Apple devices, I can truly and honestly say that my life would be unequivocally better if I could install custom IPAs to my phone.

Furthermore, Apple trusts the user to decide if Facebook can steal their data: why can't they trust the user to install third party apps? If they don't effectively communicate the danger beforehand, that's their failure. Otherwise, Apple is just locking off functionality to me, which is insulting considering I pay a premium for their devices that I expect to be recouped on the software side of things. That's their business model, if you don't like it then you should argue with them, not me.
Sinking a few and then maintaining that threat is likely the only way (as in, if they come back, sink a few more).

Obviously the crews should be taken off first, then returned to land and then deported as soon as possible. There's not much point in punishing them any further.
I'm glad the choice you're giving me suddenly opens up all Apple consumers to my business.

I'm glad I don't have to pay a 30% tax on revenue. Or jump though insane hurdles to deploy my software.

It sure feels free.

Thankfully, it's only 50% of Americans, or half the market, that's locked up behind this protection racket.

The actual impact of gain-of-function research papers isn't actually what is being critiqued here. That's putting the cart before the horse. What is being criticized is that the authors of such papers are pushing their research efforts into this area because they see it as their highest expected value avenue for generating the "impact" they need to secure funding, tenure, etc.
> companies are a collection of people

Peter Drucker was on top of this. It's so obvious yet so often forgotten (ignored?). An organization is a group of people.

Jumping back to systems thinking. People can respond a number of ways in organizations. Enter 'policy refusal' (see Donella Meadows' systems literature for more). Executive wants A to happen. A is not in employees' best interest. Employees ignore, delay, obfuscate, outright refuse, or actively undermine A.

People are very good at policy refusal. Executives are good at not knowing its happening.
What unrealistic promise did Apple make? I am curious when they said the app store is "completely secure" because obviously nothing can be completely secure.

I know they claim it is "the most secure" app store, which I am not sure what they use to back that up, it does seem to be one of the most secure platforms, it has my highest trust but I don't completely trust it.

As others have said I do believe a curated app is is more secure than an un curated one or no app store, but nothing is perfect and there is a trade off for that curation and tight control.
I understand that it takes a ton of background and expertise to understand a paper in a specialized field.

You do not need a degree to gain that expertise, however.

Further, having the degree is not a reliable indicator of expertise, in my experience.
The article is arguing that the veneer of safety implied by Apple (above and beyond other stores) might make users more susceptible to fraud because they are more likely to believe the apps are all safe. They might be more cautious with other stores that don't offer that protection. Whether this leads to more actual cases of fraud would require a real study to be done.
> each new binding pair is actually inside a nested scope

Can you point me to something that demonstrates this? I've both decompiled this form and traced its compilation:

(defn foo [a]
(let [b a
b (+ b a)]
b))

and it does create two different symbols with a name of "b", which I get has the same net effect of not mutating the original "b", but I would not consider that "nested scope". It feels more like SSA to me, which is typically quite sequential in nature, which is what I associate with the term "imperative".
I also detest the zoom social and avoid whenever possible. My team did have one remote activity which was pretty cool though - a virtual escape room. Everyone was remote but the escape room employees were in the physical space. So we used a mix of online collaboration and verbal discussion to direct the actions of the escape room rep within their physical space, which was all viewable through high quality webcams. I was skeptical when I first heard about it but it turned out to be a really great team activity.
I don't know, inference from data is literally how all decisions are fundamentally made. Why wouldn't it be possible to create models that learn this particular pattern?
He would have to break the cryptographic algo to see the salt. Good luck with that. Sure that is possible for the NSA with weak encryption. But most hackers wont be able to do this. The salt does not give a slightly different hash but a totally different hash. Also, using salt (your own or server based) should protect you from some kind of rainbow table attacks.

But just use a PW manager (e.g. enpass.io ) I am very happy with it but I don't use the autofill plug-ins. You can never be paranoid enough.
I guess they need to scale the team to meet the demand of apps. Adding headcount reduces profit but the benefit to brand image should compensate enough.
We should keep one morning of school a week, no matter our age, to get together with other humans and discuss about stuff like this. Individual reading and HN comments are fine, but we are missing the best part of learning, which is actually verbalizing and battle-testing those vague ideas.

This is a handy tool to convert curl to the python requests equivalent automatically.

https://curl.trillworks.com

Since chromium-based browsers will generate curl requests from the network tab of devtools, you can use that along with the above to quickly generate code to replay requests with python.
Exactly. By their same logic, Apple also ships all of their phones with malware since they are a third party who refuses security audits.

The purpose of the military is to maintain the territorial sovereignty of the nation, against illegal entry from migrants/smugglers or chinese fishermen.

If the military cannot perform this task then why does Argentina spend $3billion on them?

The obvious answer is that Argentina is a failed state, incapable of defending itself.
I've found that Texmacs produces some nice and fast html pages, like this: https://www.texmacs.org/joris/pcomp/pcomp.html

It certainly isn't any more, but before the 70s the Netherlands was looking at America when it came to modern infrastructure. Lots of cars, huge roads, pedestrian hostile intersections, massive amounts of and ridiculous highways (Just look at this crazy thing: https://mobile.twitter.com/notjustbikes/status/1176840020751...). It didn't kill the downtown in the Netherlands and they were in much the same position.
One of the concepts in the name that tune, errr learn to Code in fewer days than the other brands of books is that each chapter is a Lesson that should be worked on for a while before proceeding to the next lesson.

So while it is 24 hours or 7 days or whatever, they are not meant to be a sequential 24 hours, but 24 hours spread over a period of time.

I could never interest a publisher in creating a series called "Learn in 23 Hours", I'm sure it would have a clear advantage over its slower 24 hour competition. Perhaps 23.99 hours?

Doesn't transfer learning level the playing field a bit? We already have excellent, off-the-shelf models for NLP, computer vision, ODT, etc... that just need fine-tuning for a particular business or domain problem. I think the 'huge training datasets' requirement is lessening every day.

Even in this most generous possible explanation, Apple removed a quality-control check and didn't replace it with anything.
This is maybe the third time I've seen the concept of a LaTeX styled html page and it never seems like a good idea to me. I'm all for math typesetting in HTML, but I no longer "believe" in justification, especially not browser's dissatisfying one-paragraph based techniques. But even with knuth-plass I have reasons to suspect ragged right text is better, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27189306
I'm willing to change my mind with more evidence, justified text is pretty.
I think a key step will be the Triboro RX. In the short term it would be a regular circumferential subway line, but that will allow Brooklyn and Queens to function without Manhattan more.

I think the the combination of geography and state boundary politics makes NYC hard to actually become multi centered, but it wold be interesting to be proven wrong. Certainly we should strive to see Long Island, North Jersey, and West Connecticut have better rail and be less car-dominant.
I think this has to do with tolerance for being stuck, and that varies depending on how rewarded you think you’ll be for figuring it out and getting unstuck.

Real science and math involves getting stuck on problems, perhaps for weeks, months, or years. I guess we should be happy that there are people who can tolerate being stuck.

My tolerance for getting stuck on a mere game has dropped dramatically since I was a kid; many of the games we played then are unplayable by modern standards. You had to draw maps and take notes, yourself, rather than the computer remembering things for you.

But text adventures back then sometimes weren’t meant to be played alone. The game might be single-player but it was a group activity for college students where you’d share ideas. The modern equivalent might be games where you’re expected to search the web to find recipes and strategies for things.

So there's this thing which one might call an "object" which is fundamental to any discrete thinking we ever do and is, in fact, prerequisite for "concept." There are some bad ideas in what we call "OOP," but if you think have a reason you don't need a thing in programming, then good luck to you.

The reason I disagree with this argument is that it boils down to "tons of scams are better than a few sophisticated scams because users are more wary."

Users themselves have various levels of sophistication, and unsophisticated scams have plenty of victims.

If you want to speak of conflict minerals for EVs, cobalt is WAY more problematic, since it is far more rare and mined mostly in the DRC, where we know child labor and starvation pay is given for the work that allows EV cathodes their precious Co.

Why do critics think looping over an array is somehow incomprehensible in OO and must be replaced with inheritance or something? Most ECS implementations are in OO languages. In Unity/C#, those systems are objects those arrays holding component information are even objects!

> Why would they remove the ability for people to easily report apps?

Reasons could be:

- nobody uses that button

- people use the button, but mostly not for its intended purpose.

I would guess a fairly generic “report a problem” button would attract lots of messages of type 2. I can see people complain there about missing features, ask support questions, etc. I would bet that, to many, it wasn’t clear that button let you send a message to Apple.

It seems to me somewhat similar to an argument put forward by Jaron Lanier: that what is termed artificial intelligence’s (or ‘deep learning’’s etc.) current successes, at least as far as something like the translation services of the big corporations for example, is actually built by leveraging corpuses that are the fruits of a huge amount of individual human effort. Sometimes, say with the ‘Mechanical Turk’ thing that Amazon has, or CAPTCHAs or something, this is a more explicit connection (…bit Wizard of Oz! :) As I understand it, he proposes that an alternative to UBI etc. might be micro-compensations (or transactions) in return for providing this data. This might be a prelude/transition to a stage where our basic needs (on a sort of Mazlow’s hierarchy) were met by A.I., or that there might be increasingly creative or interesting ways to complete some tasks that we could go on refining forever.
Idk, when I see " rigorously reviewed", I think being able to see the app is attempting to masquerade as an existing one...
It's interesting that that's effectively a communication-oriented version of the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act loop.
It's long past time for the US to put the Monroe Doctrine to some actual good use and put an end to the illegal Chinese fishing - plundering, theft - going on in Latin American waters. We can trivially put a stop to it, and quick. It'd be simultaneously in our own self-interest to stand up to China on this matter, and be a positive favor to Latin America.

Excuse me, they used the words "every one of" and "every app" to describe the purview of their security checks. Is that somehow not absolute enough for you?

In other comment above, quick math shows the scale of this concern ends up being completely off.

The oceans are just so much bigger than we can easily conceptualize. So very much bigger.
I’m not arguing with your point, but let me offer another thought. The crux of this problem as I see it is that people consider themselves as separate from nature. The truth is that we are part of nature and the things we make are still part of nature. The opposite of “natural” is not “artificial” or “man-made” - it’s “supernatural”!

Of course the word “artificial” is useful to classify things for our safety and benefit, but we are not supernatural and so the things we create still exist in nature - like we are the hand of the universe reconfiguring itself.

This artificial separation of the human from nature has been popular in the past and I hope we overcome it.
Top N papers is already a metric used for professorship slots, so Max or other functions are me simplifying the situation.

I agree though that citations are proxies for goodness and are ultimately poor indications of work. For example, a paper closing the field would have no follow-up work, but a provocative paper would have plenty (regardless of quality).

I think a quantitative metric is necessary because many decisions eventually hit a bean-counter (e.g., admin type), who is not able to assess research quality in the time they have. But even with experts reviewing a set of candidates on research qualifications, the panel would be unable to objectively provide a full ranking of candidates.

A perhaps better way to do it would be to perform proper accounting on research output which stabilizes across a 10-year timeline or so. Each researcher is a “stock” and the stock-price reflects current and projected “revenue”. If someone publishes only papers that go nowhere, their stock tanks. At top institutions, tenure kind of does this (only one time).
Except I am not asking you for an hour of your time. This is not an audience.

I am asking if you want to work for me for next couple of years.

> Whatever expectations you hold a candidate to should be reciprocal. So if you're going to hold candidates responsible for blocking off extra time before and after their interview to sit and chat, then you should be doing the same

Of course, I do the same. I spend time researching what I can find about the person, looking through their CV, getting acquainted with the report from screening. I am looking through your CV to figure out what kind of questions might be good to ask and what are waste of time and generally how to best make use of the time that is available.

Then after the meeting I meet with the manager who would most likely be present on the interview and we discuss our observations and try to figure out if they are or are not a problem and whether we think you can fit our team. We also discuss what did go or did not go well during the interview so that we can improve our interviews in the future.

All of this happens immediately before and after the interview so 1,5h interview can easily take 2,5h of my time. I am never late to the meeting and I always set aside time after the meeting in case our discussion overruns.

And you know why? Because hiring is extremely important, important enough that it is worth to put everything else aside just so that I can do it right.

And if you are a candidate it should matter to you where you are going to spend couple of years.

When I interview as a candidate I put everything else aside for that day so that I can be rested, fresh, calm and focused.
The thing with all those areas is that those countries have the resources to police their waters and would absolutely seize vessels that were in breach of their or international laws.

> Software engineers should be excited about their company's product because they are the only ones who can see how software can solve the customer's problem.

I disagree. It's not just the purview of software engineers to understand or see how the company's product helps the customer. Lots of roles need to come together to create a successful product. Generally speaking, the employees that signal their passion for the given company/product/mission/etc are the one's more easily leveraged for longer hours, less pay and more work. As someone else mentioned here, be professional over passionate. The company isn't as passionate about the employee as the passionate employee is about the company. I can guarantee you that.

I'd argue that if they can't prove the safety, you're getting ripped off.

Yes. He was showing that different solutions came closer to looking realistic, and using those methods in incremental amounts (20% in one example) along with the tensor solution made huge improvements. Also, the quirk of being able to give trees to California's mountains.

Some of what he said reminded me of discussions of HDR photography, wherein a lot of people consider the much-too-realistic colouring and lighting tends to make the picture look less real instead. Likewise with too many FPS in movies, where producers have to add fake camera blur to avoid the fakeness of looking "too real". This was a common complaint when 4K television became a thing, and Rosie O'Donnell's facial skin became the joke about how things can look all too real.
