I don't know what sort of "data" you might want. There are modes of argumentation that do not rely on double-blind randomised trials.

The argument is, essentially:

- people used to believe that being a chess grandmaster is universally considered proof of high intelligence

- people also believed that opening a refrigerator requires strictly less intelligence than becoming a chess grandmaster

- we now have build artificial "intelligence" that easily beats any human in chess. Ask it to open a refrigerator and see what happens.

-> Therefore, our concept of "intelligence", as a single, ordered, continuous, and measurable quantity, is demonstrably wrong.

You can proof plenty with a single datapoint or two. As long as you don't care about the color, half a sheep proofs sheep exist. There's no n and no p-value attached to that because it is not subject to measuring errors and confounders. Sheep just is.

They article isn't quite clear on how our biases are potentially dangerous, because it happens to be the point of warnings to come before the actual damage occurs. But when someone is setting out to revolutionise all our lives with something that uses the term "intelligence", and neither they nor we can actually come up with definition of the concept, maybe the burden of proof should be on those saying it's all fine, and not those asking for a bit of occasional reflection.

I also just don't get what's controversial about the article. It doesn't even ask for anything dramatic, or specific. It's the MIT robot tech leader, who knows what they're talking about. And when people start invoking the human rights of abused robots, I am confident the robotics community wouldn't object to that being either a joke or misguided anthropomorphising.
To hiring folks: find better ways to evaluate candidates than a resume. Preferably an evidenced based assessment that measures actual skills for the job and not the esoteric witchcraft required to discern what _you_ think is important in a resume.

The only thing I look for in a resume is number of years doing development and a very rough assessment that the experience there fits with what we asked for in the job description. Beyond that, we have questionnaires that ask the specific questions we care about and real world work simulations that attempt to measure fit for the position.

To the OP: the better teams shouldn't care too much about something like this. But, I'd say add it. It shows you like programming enough to tinker. That's a positive signal to me. But, I'd never dock a candidate if they said they don't do side projects because they have other ways they'd like to use their time outside work.

Yeah exactly. Vulkan is meant to be the lowest level interface possible to the hardware. It's for programmers who hitting a wall in terms of optimization because of the overhead imposed by OpenGL or DX11. It's not intended for everyday programmers, and it would not make sense to make concessions in performance to accommodate usability concerns.
Those are not necessarily unimportant things. These are just things we don't have a capacity to notice because of crap hardware we have to process this information. We don't conciously process 2% of what we see because only 2% is relevant. We do that because hardware needed to process more wouldn't pass through birth canal.
Typically the sale of luxury goods is part of the integration phase in ML. This is when the money is finally transferred back to the criminal and so it is important to be within the financial sector.

It presents a very straightforward way to legally transfer a large sum of money to the criminal (the seller).

Having said that, I'd imagine you'd want to avoid media attention so transactions like this seem unlikely to be ML to me.

Indeed. The week Slack became available, I was asking around for recommendations for a service that was “HipChat but nicer to use” and got a lot of scoffing in reply. Eventually someone linked Slack and said it looked dumb but maybe I could try it and see if it was different enough. Of course it was exactly what I wanted and got the right bunch of people talking to each other at work.

I’m pretty sure every one of those scoffers had multiple Slack accounts within a couple years. :)

In fairness they did say the Tesla Supercharger network rather than Tesla as a brand, so it’s more like suggesting “even Apple will replace Lightning with USB-C” rather than “iPhones will go away because of USB-C”.

in the 1930s through the early 1980s, the marginal tax rate for the wealthy was 70-85%. In the late 1980s it went down to 28% and is now at 37%. Historical tax rates on the highest marginal rates: https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/historical-highes... In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan lowered the tax rate by so much, and that's when the country started going to the dogs.

What you say about the wealth not being in piles of cash is completely incorrect. The stock has value, and the super wealthy can use their stock ownership as collateral and get as much cash as they wish. Cash is not an issue for the super wealthy. Additionally, while the owners take a salary of $1, let's say for kicks, in addition to getting unlimited cash, they also get other perks as well - like company jets, and limos with drivers, etc. I don't know if Bezos does, but many business owners do.

I think that Bezos should control the company, but there could be a 90% tax on wealth (not income) at the highest marginal rate and that would be fine with me. It's been there before in the USA's best years, where there was money to build roads and bridges, and pay for student's educations at public universities.

It's not like Jeff Bezos and those people like him are going to quit if we limit their wealth to $1 billion or $5 billion.

But the rich are a bunch of c-nts. San Francisco said that they would raise taxes for the richest by 1%...1 f-ing percent, in order to help the homeless, which is a big problem there, and the wealthy started making noises about leaving San Francisco because of that. What utter c-nts the wealthy are.

Here is how wealthy Jeff Bezos is, and how wealthy the .0001% of our population is - that are as rich as the bottom 60% of the USA. Below is a graphic that shows actual wealth of Bezos accurately, which we never see, ever. Can you get to the end? I never have been able to yet. Just use your right arrow key to start scrolling.

> GCP's official method for doing this is … a cloud function that disables billing if your bill goes over a configured limit

I’d love it if GCP’s official method were to disable billing if your bill went over a limit.

Sadly, I suspect it would just disable systems instead.
I don’t think it’d take a long time. They could just replace like one stall with CCS. The most time consuming parts like permitting and power installation on premises and stuff already is done.

They could convert a decent portion of their network to have one stall with CCS in maybe a couple months.

But the Tesla power adapter is superior. Smaller, cheaper, simpler, and more user friendly than the chonky CCS or Chademo plus in the US. (The European plug isn’t so bad.)

If I could turn back the clock, I’d open up the Tesla plug and mandate all EV makers use it.
> diesel and petrol. In practice, every petrol station simply supports both fuels.

In the US they definitely do not :-)

It's pretty frustrating how many OSS projects use Slack but there are no options available to pay for a discounted pro plan. We'd love to pay a flat-ish fee for the community but it creates a disincentive to grow. Their active user fair pricing helps a bit, but it's not great.

Not necessarily; you can accept downtime/breakage instead. That is always an option!
For comparison, the Renault Twizy starts at 7k Euro. Ok, that doesn't include the battery, and maybe it's assembled in Romania but still a much more reasonable price for a comparable product.

So "Blonde" is a personal attack too then, right?

Is it a personal attack if I call Charles Manson a murderer?
Right, but I think aiming for petrol pump equivalency isn't very helpful when planning a charging standard right now - this theoretical 7MW charging station would be absolutely insane in order to provide that much power through a single cable(I would love to see a calculation for how thick it would need to be to make that happen), second of all how do you cool down a battery charging at 7MW, and third of all how do you get that kind of power to the charging site(especially if we're talking about multiple charging points running at once).

Even right now the new FastNED or Ionity charging stations that have the latest 300kW chargers are very difficult to install due to the huge power requirements, especially with several of them running in parallel. Tesla Superchargers do actually slow down when multiple cars are charging at once.

So going back to the charging standard - the "default" CCS plug supporting "only" 350kW is going to be sufficient for a long time I think. And if it's not it can be made to support more with very minor changes to the design - after all it's literally just two prongs thar carry the power.
I think people underestimate the price of owning a car vs. renting one. I can rent a VW Golf in Berlin for <350 EUR per week, 1000km included. The ADAC (car owners association) puts the monthly price tag for owning such a car at > 500 EUR per month. (assuming you buy it new, own it for 5 years and drive 15000km/year) https://www.adac.de/_mmm/pdf/autokostenuebersicht_47085.pdf

That means I can rent that car for ~5 month and still come out ahead.
> they strongly encourage tight coupling and poor modularity

No, that's not true. Why would you say that?
If you have the ability to freely fly a bunch of drones in enemy territory there’s a lot of stuff you can do.
I agree completely. The convenience of the Tesla system is the most important thing in my book. Charging my Model Y is the same at home as it is at a SuperCharger; just plug it in. It's so easy my Mom and a teenager have done it with no training.

I've used other non-Tesla chargers while on road trips (just to try them out) and the experience is much, much worse. There is usually an app do download, or you have to swipe your CC, or both. There is usually some sort of screen with instructions, but they are all different and sometimes the screen is not visible/broken. It's a real mess.
Probably the worst thing that could happen to Slack. The second least hip company in the world (#1 is IBM) buying a hip ChatOps platform. Time to move back to IRC or go to discord.
Sorry about that. If you try again now you might have better luck...
Definitely not a typo -- I understood "equivocating" to mean "switching between two meanings of a word." Do I have that wrong? Either way, I hear you on the historical argumentation here: a lot of the complaints people have today may have some validity, but are often wholly ahistorical: they are blind to just how much progress we have made in many areas, and how hard fought that progress is.
I think you’re joking, but let’s be honest, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.
Better and cheaper, since it’s smaller than the CCS plug.

ONE owner sued, not "owners". They will lose. This has to be one of the dumbest cash-grab attempts I've seen lately.
I work in a legacy codebase (in PHP, not Perl) where the previous developer often wrote functions to be excessively flexible with regards to their parameters - many of the parameters are optional, some of them behave differently depending on whether they're passed as strings, integers or booleans, arrays can be passed as either flat or associative arrays, etc.

I'm sure he thought he was making his functions easier to reuse in different contexts but in practice the actual result is that it's impossible to modify any of those functions without considering _every possible_ combination of parameters that could be passed in. Often what should be a simple fix becomes something much more time consuming.

There is a place for flexibility in software design, but the parameter list of a function is not one of those places in my opinion.
> hundreds [...] into an array

Or even just a few. :) A constraint is that optical-frequency interferometry arrays need to directly combine the input light, rather than being able to sample and simply combine data, as with radio frequencies. So optical telescopes would need to be docked. But yes, if both launch and instrument costs dramatically decline, "can I have two? four? eight? more?" becomes a fun question. At a minimum, as launch and recovery becomes inexpensive, there's less point in leaving a backup instrument warehoused on the ground.
The US is a bit large. Where I’m from in the US of A they have them at every petrol station ;-)
Anecdata, but my experience as CTO of a startup, a hedge fund, and a bank has been the opposite.

Atlassian feels like a Xerox or Kodak of the modern age. A lot of their products were for a while the only option, and never bothered to evolve.

Hailing from a country whose entire idea of Sub-Saharan Africa comes from a single work of fiction from the XIXth century and which has been nevertheless seeing a gradual, but visible shift in perspective in recent years(basically the colonial attitude is finally dying), I don't agree.

I think it's still possible to fight racism without resorting to putting people into these tight cubbyholes.

Especially given that people with parents from different backgrounds defy such classification.

Then again my country doesn't have much of a colonial past - we weren't even an independent state back then, so perhaps there are details that are specific to former empires, which elude me.
As well as software execution. You can see queue times for superchargers, how many stalls are out of order etc, all on the map in each Tesla which is very convenient when on a roadtrip
Europeans haven't built high speed rail from London to Baku mostly because they (we) can't agree that's in their best interest and then invest accordingly.

The Swiss did vote for and consequently built things like the Gotthard Base Tunnel.

The Chinese are also building a lot of rail infrastructure and are of a similar size to the US. But then they have higher population density. But it's probably more a question of political priorities than physical realities.
I think the point here is that US always wages wars far away from their land, so they don’t have to worry about consequences or casualties. For most other countries war is something quite different from the usual business.

Just to put it on the record because so many people seem to be getting this wrong. Telsa's connector was not first, but its power delivery capabilities were better at the time.

The Roadster (2008) used a different connector than the Model S (2012) and is completely incompatible. JS1772 (2009) was already being adopted as a standard by cars like the Nissan Leaf (2010) before Tesla's current connector was being used.

Tesla's Supercharger network at the launch of the Model S was a total of 6 chargers: https://web.archive.org/web/20121124081536/http://www.teslam... . So the initial infrastructure investment was not that significant.

Further reading into that article though you can see the Superchargers were capable of delivering 90kW. JS1772 cars were limited to ~20kW L2 charging at the time which is why Chademo (2010-ish) connectors were included for faster charging on earlier EVs. CCS (2013) would become the unifying replacement that added faster charging to JS1772.

More on topic, the rest of the industry and world has moved on and standardized to CCS. No one should start using Tesla's connector on their cars now. But making an adapter to use Tesla chargers on a CCS car could make sense. But having yet another thing to lug around in the car won't be ideal. The obvious logical choice is for Tesla to start retrofitting Superchargers with CCS now that it's open and eventually ween Tesla owners into using adapters that Tesla already makes.
Tesla has always offered the charging network and patents for anyone to use. The other automakers chose to go another way, unfortunately. I guess it makes sense from their standpoint; you don't want your product tied to a competitor. But it does seem a bit short sighted on their part.
I guess it depends on how much one values "archiving", but WebP has a lossless option [1] that might be a good alternative to the above.
