It also entrenches inequality. Design a system that assumes everyone is rich, poor people can never rise.

As someone not from the US, this aspect of the US has always amazed me. There is huge regulation on business at the state-level, particularly SMEs, but the US has a functioning economy somehow...do the rich just incorporate in Delaware? It is amazing to think that the US has succeeded in spite of significant efforts to fail. Introducing flat fees on business creation is tying a noose round your own neck economically.

I came here to quote and comments on this paragraph. The poke at C/C++ undefined behaviour, claiming Go has no such thing. Except this sentence is exactly undefined behaviour: after the data race, due to possible corruption, anything could happen.

There is also equivalently smugness about the language in general. It is one thing to say there are no undefined behaviour related to the memory model, but given a compiler optimizer, you need to do hard analysis that there cannot be once optimized, with all operations re-ordering that can happen.

The simplicity of the Go memory model, which is vague on purpose, is taken as making it safe. Is it? It mostly mean it is vague, which provide a convenient cover to hide under.

Edit: toward the end, the author talks about adding documentation about compiler optimizations that would be explicitly forbidden. So some of my earlier comments would be addressed.

or you could validate parameters from unauthenticated actors (like algorithm) and return an error if it does not match your expectations. you're allowed to reject a parameter if you don't support that parameter; looking at it and deciding that "alg: none" isn't acceptable counts as "understanding" a required header.
It's not being marketed as a toy. So the "too seriously" is perhaps concern about how other people will use it.

Probably not.

It fails in ways that are totally different from how humans typically fail at driving.

Student drivers have the ability to comprehend and understand the 3D world around them - it's just a matter of learning the proper control manipulations to make the car do what you want, and then how to interact with other traffic in safe and expected ways.

Tesla's FSD system seems to fail at basic 3D world comprehension and reading, often enough.

The 2012 Olympics was an opportunity to bring Stratford (in London, not upon-avon) a much needed boost. It is now the major hub in the east of London and continues to be a hive of renewal activity even now. The stadiums remain but they seem incidental.
What are you talking about? Do you have some sources explaining this? This just seems like the oft-used, "previously it was an anomaly, we are returning to normal" pseudo-science that gets dragged out about everything concerning climate change. "It's not getting hotter, we were just in a cold period".
It isn't. TouchID and Yubikey are in the same security class they are both HSM devices with physical presence tests. A HSM with a fingerprint reader is actually better than a Yubikey as it has a stronger presence verification.

The only real advantage of a Yubikey in this case is portability.

The parent is comparing to a key living in software, which TouchID is not.
> Healthcare is not a free market

Health care was a free market until the following events:

1. requirement for government licenses for doctors, which was done to drive Jewish and Black doctors out of business, and to restrict the supply of doctors

2. the advent of employer-provided health care during WW2, which due to tax policy married health care coverage to one's job

3. the 1962 FDA amendments which required efficacy for drug approval (not just safety) leading to a tripling of drug costs and a corresponding drop in new drug development

4. the introduction of Medicare/Medicaid in 1968

5. ever more regulation and interference in the market, like requirements the emergency rooms treat for free

Regardless of whether one thinks these are good things or not, they detract from health care being a free market.
What law did he break? These computers are sitting around unlocked in public with the express intent of letting randos test them out. I'm sure Apple didn't intend for anyone to start installing software, but they could add endpoint security to the machines and they don't. As he said, there's no expectation of privacy in public. There's security cameras running nonstop. And glass windows to the street. Installing spyware in and of itself is not a crime. Lots of businesses do it as a matter of course. If you feel like he made you uncomfortable and has you thinking about something you haven't thought of before, then "art" was achieved.
I saw him speak once, in EE380 at Stanford. He tried to bullshit the audience about how the smart contract system was secure due to proof by construction. (The audience was Stanford computer science faculty, students, and tech people from Silicon Valley. Not a group to try to bullshit.)

This was before the DAO hack.
Are you trying to argue that transaction capacity is the most important metric?

If so, then you don't want Bitcoin. You can use Paypal.

However if you want to own an asset that can't be debased by central banks, where your transactions can't be censored, where you can participate from anywhere geographically, then you might want Bitcoin.

Those features come at a transaction capacity tradeoff.
For "cheap," netbooks as a category have been replaced by your run-of-the-mill entry-level laptop. The cheapest Dell Inspiron starts at ~$300. $400 gets you an Intel i3 or an AMD Ryzen 3, both of which are leagues better than an Atom.

For "small," the category was replaced by Ultrabooks as people realized that it's usually better to have a thin laptop that doesn't force you to compromise on the display or keyboard size.

I remember traveling with a netbook so that I'd have a computer I could use for tickets and reservations, and even for that, the low resolution 8-10" netbook screens were painful. 12-14" Ultrabooks with >= 1080p panels are much more comfortable, and the weight is comparable.
Clearly worse than it should be, but my experiences with health insurers and hospital billing departments made the anecdote read a lot funnier than it was intended to, for sure. "Only an hour!?"

Man, that feels like a big stunt for a good-but-not-great show.

It's the kind of thing they only get to pull once, and I'd expect them to save that for something huge that would draw an enormous audience to subscribe (something on the level of Stranger Things or Game of Thrones).

Sweet Tooth was nice, but clearly a bit slapped together. They keep the CGI to a minimum, but what's there is pretty cheaply done. The practical effects are nice, but simple in a way that feels like it was done quickly. It's neat that the show was in production before COVID, though I'd be curious to know how much of it was prescient.

The acting is great and the writing pretty good. But it's not going to be a breakout hit. So I'm a bit surprised they'd promote it so hard to attract and audience that will surely say, "Hey, that was OK. Glad I'm already subscribed. But I'm not rushing out to tell my friends about it."
I think the parent — like most people (including myself until recently) — has a poor understanding of the professional makeup of rural communities.

There was never a period in American history where most rural people were farmers. That was a Jeffersonian daydream. In the colonial/early-American period, farms consisted of landowners, and a mix of slaves and poorly-paid employees. When slavery ended and the industrial revolution came along, tractors took over most of the work and the employees left for factories; the number of landowners (what we now call "farmers") is not very different now than in 1800.

Here's a census report on the actual careers of small-town America. Lot of community service (education, health care), a little manufacturing and retail… about what one might expect, really.
https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/newsroom/blogs/201...

… so getting back to the point of climate change… on the one hand, since farmers don't make up the majority of rural communities, their opinions on climate change don't mean much politically. On the other hand, they do have a very direct and personal effect on the climate w/r/t soil practices (erosion, pesticides, etc), and there are some positive signs on that front.
I am really curious: Why does restructured text get so little mindshare? I used it once to make an ebook into a website, using sphinx. The format is easy to write and read and it has extensibility as a builtin.
I'm not sure why Google has to do a pay cut... it's pretty easy to just transfer someone and then give out below market raises for a few years if cost is really the main concern.

My guess is that this a way for Google to promote some attrition.

These companies are like cults in ways, they recruit younglings, feed, house and entertain them. They make all their friends at work etc...

It can be quite traumatic to leave without having developed external networks and support systems.
>The kinds of people that work at such companies I am very very sure would do great things regardless. In fact, I know quite a few people like that, some of which I work with, which is awesome. It's like finally finding your true 'home' company wise, when you have that feeling that your are mostly working with people that both know their stuff and just want to do great work together.

This is not what I am talking about. Yes brilliant people are a prerequisite but I am referring to squeezing them hard to get that extra improvement out of them. You see it in the Tesla car vs something like the new Ford. They are both good cars clearly made by talented people. But then when you tear down the Ford you see how the battery pack is made in a manner where they didn't wring out every extraneous cost and they didn't squeeze every last bit of potential out of it. There is so much room for improvement compared to the Tesla. It seems as if Tesla just forces their people to burn 100 hours weeks all the time just for that little extra that ends up in their end product.

>or pretend that adjusting the background color of that button takes a whole sprint.

Im actually in that position right now getting paid 100k. It is depressing as I am wasting my late 20s early 30s but at the same time I see people like Elon getting insanely rich while so many people in the country are sinking beyond salvation. He is actually getting rich off not only the backs of the people he overworks but the parents that raised and invested in those people and the local communities that spent decades molding those people. And what happens in the end? He burns them out and replaces them with new blood.

It makes me realize that 95% of this tech stuff is BS and the few jobs that actually have some innovation are locked behind gates or require sacrificing everything else to achieve. If you are not naturally gifted to be in the top 5% then it is just not worth sacrificing everything else. I guess thats why companies like mine end up filled with people who take a whole sprint to change the background color. There is so much money floating around these companies that are all majority owned by a few mutual funds anyway that its downright stupid not to take as much as you can from them while you can.

If an abstract threat with the primary impacts expected to appear in dozens of years, if not longer, is your primary concern, you have it pretty good.

Not everyone has it so good. The way to get people to think about the long term is to understand which short term concerns are blocking the path.

Great recommendation, I learned a lot when I first watched that video. I learned bits and pieces about product design, material science, the nature of startups and venture capital, some introspection occurred, I learned to love again, and a whole bunch of new slang I will neither remember nor understand.
It is also the wrong question. In practise (as shown by the snowden revalations) the actual question is not if the secret services comply with the law — it is whether the law complies with the secret services.

In most nations where illegal practises came to light these illegal practises have been legalized after the fact. The breaches of fundamental laws that happened before have gone unpunished.

So to say secret services comply with the law is really a bit rich, given that when they don't law is usually adjusted to fit their behaviour with no punishments for any wrongdoing.
The article also talks about changes in the weight of zoo and lab animals. Stress may be a factor in weight gain in humans but it wouldn't explain the animal data so I don't think it's the only, or primary, factor.

Safety drivers at proper AV companies usually go through several weeks of rigorous classroom instruction and test track driving with a professional driving instructor, including lots of practice with the real AVs on closed courses with simulated system faults, takeover situations, etc. Anecdotally I've seen trained safety drivers take over from unexpected system failures at speeds near the floor of human reaction time. They are some of the best and most attentive drivers on the road.

Average folks beta testing Tesla's software for them are woefully under-prepared to safely mitigate the risks these vehicles pose. In several cases they've meaninglessly died so that Tesla could learn a lesson everyone else saw coming months in advance.
Dealing with interactive 1k of registered elements is hard when you have to monitor each element and redistribute their positions with each movement without changing the DOM. Just doing CSS translate. This is a completely new concept, as far as I know, not exist in any drag and drop library. That's why it's challenging and of course, need a ton of work and enhancements. But it's the first step and I hope the community loves and supports the idea. And I agree, it's sad that we still here and I am trying to make it somehow the standard.
This is super awesome - it's amazing all the things we can do with our equivalent of the library of Alexandria. Don't see enough projects using Wikipedia as a base layer, hopefully this continues!

You'll want to keep an eye on Qodana[0] which when combined with ReviewDog[1] (and some glue script since Qodana has its own snowflake output JSON that RD doesn't read natively; engineering!) can offer suggested changes on MR/PR platforms which support such a thing [2]

I have the first two working together but not the last part yet, and Qodana is for sure a moving target but is what I've been praying for them to do for years now

> The second day I said forget this and just let the garden sprinkler run all afternoon; high water-bill be damned. That did the trick

I haven't seen any reporting on if the industrial scale farms actually employed evaporative cooling via sprinklers throughout the heat wave.

It seems like a no-brainer when your crop is at risk and you're already presumably equipped with appropriately sized sprinklers and water supply... was it just too hot to be effective? Or did the total loss instances just stand around and watch their crops dry out and bake in the sun?

I understood him perfectly well. Why didn't you? I think you should become more aware of your own flaws instead of blaming others.
It would be a mistake to say that the output from GPT3 lacks coherent meaning. It's not that the output is gibberish, it's that it's too easy to mistake it for a human's work. This means that it's easy to mistake it for something that was created with understanding and intention, when in fact the author was nothing more than a random number generator. The same risk exists for copilot. [--GPT3]
The Twitter thread is lacking in attributions, but I saw most of these some months back after a post about scary FSD behavior. I watched with morbid curiosity, and a rising level of anger.

The guy with the white ball cap repeatedly attempted a left turn across two lanes of fast-moving traffic, with a drone providing overhead views. He seemed smart, aware, and even a bit conservative in intervening. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but thinking that none of the oncoming vehicles consented to the experiments racking up YouTube views. If he doesn't jump on the brakes at the right time, he potentially causes a head-on collision with a good chance of fatalities.

Yes, I do agree that beta drivers should get extra training. However, I'm not sure I agree with the premise of beta testing an aluminum rocket on wheels on public roads in the first place.

This is not a rational claim. Yes, you certainly can have the good without the bad. The existence of a process doesn't imply its brokenness.

B-D allows the universities who house the principal investigators who conduct government-sponsored research to commercialize their inventions.

This means, for example, that David Baker licenses Rosetta for free to academic and government, but commercial users have to obtain a paid commercial license. Baker (his lab, or LLC, or whomever vends Rosetta Commercial) benefits monetarialy from all the data that Rosetta includes, which is decades of structural biology funded by NIH and others.
When you consider what is going on in the used car markets, I think that this makes sense. The premise of this calculation is around profit, and unfortunately the low end cars have increased in price greater than what they can command while renting on Turo.

The rental premiums were key in designing this.

Followup: I realize I'm replying more to other comments in this HN thread about handwriting notes being superior to typing them, which isn't at all what the article's about.

The article said handwriting is better for learning a language, and that seems to intuitively make sense. It didn't talk about note taking in general.
It simply isn’t an inevitable part of it. There’s a chain of failures happening to Lois Rossman and the licensing board not picking up phone calls to take appointments is one of them and it’s in no way “inevitable”.

By your logic if a service fails in a chain of services for a piece of software to work, we should call the failure an inevitable part of the system and throw the whole thing out. Complex things can have more points of failure. It seems like simplifying the renewal process here by removing or automating one or more steps is the sensible thing to do.
> But weren’t all those Google employees trained in the academy? Wasn’t this competition organized and designed by people in the academy?

No, this is actually a perfectly viable way to make a living. It depends on what kind of work he's doing. I've hired some professional creative technologists for shows before and they can earn decent rates. This was for a corporate clients doing retail events, but the work they did was still artistic in nature. They can also get hired by musicians, venues, museums, galleries. I know more people who do it as a side thing, but if you're talented and you hustle, it can be a full-time job.
