And the first cars didn't have seatbelts.

It's fine, these are not complicated problems, and they are much easier to spot and fix than most problems in software engineering at scale. Don't be fooled by the negative PR campaigns and clickbait, there's no reason to be skeptical about ML in general because of this.

Also, Tay attempted to solve a much harder problem than image classification. It's hard to build a safe hyperloop. It's no longer hard to build a safe microwave oven.
The mpw shell is much closer to a smalltalk Workspace, but yes, it was technically the command line for classic mac.
That's the point. Specifically, the point is to pay for aerospace jobs if we want to compete in the aerospace market. Nasa launch contracts are the carrot for companies like spacex and others to get in the market. Various contracts keep a larger pool of engineers in the market

Becuase the flu is unique in this regard, it divides and recombines as a matter of course, that's why they number the combinations, like h1n1, h1n2, etc. Most other viruses, including coronaviruses, don't do that like the influenza does.
Substitute race for gender and this argument totally falls apart.

If you see a black colleague being treated unfairly and do nothing because you don't want to be seen as an "agitator" or "activist" then you are part of the problem. Full stop.

free markets arguably play a relatively minor role. What the Soviets were after, and what many Americans actually directly provided was scientific management and scaling operations to industrial size. Taylorism enjoyed particular popularity in the Soviet Union, and one of Taylor's chief disciples, Hugh Lincoln Cooper, was actually directly hired by the Soviet Union together with numerous American engineers and workers and General Electric to build the, at the time, largest Hydroelectric power station in the world in the Soviet Union[1].

This kind of expertise is what the Soviets were after and it is also what has made the US successful. The free market is overrated and you can see it if you go to any underdeveloped country. There's free-markets galore, some of the poorest countries on earth have nothing but free-markets.

American efficiency is the result of producing firms that can organize themselves and implement huge projects at scale effectively. No markets within a firm and usually they're not very free either.

Who else is in that list of great men? The definition of the list may say if he belongs to it or not, or at least if he deserves to be there as much as some of its members.
This is what I was thinking.

The list of asks amounts to "be a decent person and stick up for folk". This is stuff that should, like you say, go without saying.
I would say it jumps to unsupported conclusions. It is true that few companies own most of the mainstream media produced in this country.

As someone else who worked at one of these companies stated, that these companies are just pedaling propaganda to serve elites or oligarchs needs much more evidence to substantiate such claims.

Most of these are public companies whose primary motives are just to make a profit.

These companies have millions of employees with diverse opinions and diverse sources of content production.

So, I think the article oversteps its claims that the mdeia in this country just serves the interest of some set of elites.

Items are already shipped independent of what order they belong to. You can receive half an order or 2 orders together at the same time.

It's all based on location, warehouse inventory, and logistics capacity. This is why you can set individual shipping preferences for each item in your order in the first place.
No, not by legal fiat, but we should always be given an option to disable upgrades (and nags).

For a work tool, this is a problem. I get reports of fuzzy microphones, audio that slowly descends into robotic noise and screenshares that don't in Firefox. So I switch to Chrome for Meet in work, it just looks bad if my meetings don't work like 10% or more of the time.

I'm sure this is a problem with Google more than Firefox, given I have none of the same issues with discord in firefox on my personal devices
It's funny that you are being downvoted and that HN thinks mainstream media is a bigger problem than Qanon.
It's definitely more normal in the social sciences for the senior author to be first, so your wife's experience is probably not strange for her field. What people assume about author order really varies a ton between fields.

I would build around a constrained high-level concept. Something like actors, perhaps. It would be assembly-like, command-oriented.

I would then build a visualization environment which shows what the actors are doing, possibly step-by-step. It would show them moving values between registers and buffers. It would show messages passing between actors. It would show new actors create and finished actors die and errors get dumped into the canvas.

Your concept as an end-user would be that you're programming these automatons. You could clearly visualize what's occurring and debug control-flow or algorithmic issues by stepping through their movements.

Maybe not a great idea in the long run, but if it was a weekend lang jam, that's what I'd do.
Yea, I'm the same way over books.

I won't get rid of my technical reference books, and my 1st editions.

I have come to realize I can't waste anymore time on bad writing though.

I have way to many books, and I need to get rid of 90% of them. I just can't toss them though.
Blizzard stopped making games and started making products at some point. That's all there is to it.

Good point, I need add something like b[3]='.', an then use b+3 as a path, not b+5, to fix that vulnerability.

Update: I fixed this on github.
There is an interesting face to this coin though, the "don't be a snitch". You're saying "be a snitch".

Yes, being a snitch would probably improve the lives of people in lots of places, and yet it does not happen often because it can be destabilizing (despite people not liking the people they could snitch on). Companies do not like this "unknown". They do want to do the right thing, just not via activism/snitching. Because just as other groups of people who see the downsides of snitching, companies see the same.

This is asking too much from other women. Sure it’s a good thing for the group to pint out bad behavior, but it comes at a price for the individual doing the reporting.
Note that that's an "up to" 5% drop. Some benchmarks were unaffected, some were only lightly affected.
Yeah but there is a massive difference between money controlling the media because of their money and - for example - a dictator controlling the media because he’s got the guns.

The media will have a totally different tint: glorifying leader/ideology in the case of dictatorship/communism. What about our profit-oriented media? Remember how it beats the drums of war every single time? Who knows what interests they represent or whose agenda they are working for.
I make about 20% of what people claim the SV crowd earns.

I just filled up my gas tank. It cost me about $23, or around 6 cents per mile. Somewhere around $3.

I could still afford to drive a fair amount even if gas cost ten times what it does now. There's no guarantee that would reduce demand enough.

But if gas was made extremely expensive, then aren't we going to see this, but bigger?

My idea is to have a huge fuel tax, but to return it to each citizen in equal amounts, not use it for general purposes, so that people who really need to burn a lot of fuel can, but those who don't are incentivized not to.
>Its people who intentionally "dispose" trash in the environment.

In the US and Europe we tend to have well developed municipal waste systems and only a small portion of our plastic waste ends up in the ocean.

The problem is the rest of the places that do not. There are many places in the world that will gladly sell you a plastic soda bottle, but after that point it's your job to burn it or bury it.

In addition, you had plenty of 'recycled' plastic waste end up in the ocean by proxy. Before 2017 or so, if you were 'recycling' plastic, it was getting shipped overseas on a container where it had a very high chance of just being dumped.
I hear ya and I understand what you’re getting at. We’re working on some ideas that might address it, but as you already surmised it’s a bit of a challenge because the two desires are at odds with each other.

One way we (somewhat) solve for your desire today is that we schedule out all the stuff but then make it fairly easy to decide what to do just-in-time without wrecking the whole schedule. It’s not perfect but it’s been working for some of us.
All of matter is 'information related', until the heat death of the universe. What's the purpose of your question?

Actually you do have to be an expert to make sweeping statements with any credibility in a young field making advances every day. Huge ones and surprising ones every year.

If you can’t characterize the technical problem that creates a limitation then you are just expressing an uninformed opinion.

Even if you were an expert!

I’m not an expert in this, but I think the concept of a “great man of history” is controversial in the sense that some people think great men of history simply don’t exist; that history follows a specific path for reasons beyond individual control. In this case, one would argue that if Linus Torvalds didn’t do what he did, someone else would have and the world would be mostly the same. It’s hard to be sure about these counterfactuals and I think for most “Great Men of History” you could make the same generic argument. However, Linus did do it, so I guess whether he’s a Great Man of History depends on whether you accept the Great Men of History theory in general.

On the other hand, if you’re stingy enough to say that someone can’t be a Great Man of History unless you can definitely show that no one else in their place would have done the same thing, then I think some people have a stronger case than him. For instance, to my understanding, Winston Churchill was notorious prior to WWII for being an incorrigible warmonger who wasn’t willing to be “reasonable” about Nazi Germany. I think it’s likely that without him, whoever else was PM would have sued for peace after the fall of France. After all, you could name most of the people who probably would have been PM at the time, and as I recall, most of them did want to sue for peace at that time. I don’t want to get into a tangential debate about Churchill here—“Great Man of History” refers to magnitude of impact and not moral goodness. My point is, Churchill is the kind of person you point to as strong evidence for the theory of Great Men of History in the first place. Linus doesn’t have that strong of a case.

I actually have a PowerCenter 150 slim-profile Desktop (and a spare Sonnet G3 400/1M CPU upgrade for it) that's currently in storage. I haven't decided if I should try to find a good home for it yet. The PowerTower Pro replaced it in my office collection because I wanted a box I could cram full of esoteric tech:

- Formac Proformance 3 (3DLabs Permedia3)

- 12MB 3Dfx Voodoo2

- OrangePC 660 w/ K6-III

- Digidesign Audiomedia III

- ATTO Dual UltraSCSI

- Sonnet Encore G4 800/1M CPU (which is both cool and also finicky as all get out)

It's got one PCI slot left which I want to plop another Voodoo2 into for a vintage SLI setup.

All that said, both my SE/30 and my 7100 are packed to the gills with even weirder toys. :-)
If the government really wants you it can always do so or purchase services to do so. The safest thing is to stay low. If you were told to "please slow down", you might as well already been monitored somehow by the government.

If we just abandon all landfills for 1000 years with no maintenance, how much of that plastic do you estimate will end up released into the sea during that time? Will it be enough to cause a bigger ecological problem than what's already happened with plastic in the sea today?

Importantly, where did you get your data from? It can't be just your imagination because that's only a tool to reinforce what you already believe.
"If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never have happened."

Torvalds in 1993; 386BSD was released in March 1992, a few months after Linux's first Sept. 1991 release.

Another problem that plagued the BSDs throughout the 90s is the whole AT&T lawsuit, which eventually turned out to be about a few header files or something :-/
Players won’t cancel until they’ve tried and like an alternative. Final Fantasy 14 has had a massive surge of wow players so it’s not like players aren’t looking for alternatives. If they like other games I’d expect many cancellation in the coming months.
Thanks, I forgot about that. It would be very helpful to have some extra space for fixes.
In Rust 1.54 the option known as `-Z mutable-noalias` is now on-by-default if you're using an LLVM version >= 12 (which includes the LLVM that ships with the official Rust distribution). I suspect it was overlooked in the release notes since the patch enabling it landed a few releases ago, and the patch was never reverted on nightly, only on beta/stable.
Yep OP has it backwards. Epee is the one-hit, entire-body-is-a-target, double-touch-counts sport.

These sorts of rules should be good for the sport, so long as they don't encourage excessive aggression and risk-taking. From what little epee I've actually done, defensive strategies (which to the camera might look like doing nothing), can be effective depending on the opponent's strategy.
Gives hope. Though, I do wonder if there is a timeout. Is a decade, or two, enough to conclude that you are not going to finish it and move it to an archive lot? And, when is it OK to decide that you are never going to get to some books and pass them along to those who might? Questions which don't keep me up at night, but moments like this bring them surging to the fore.
Not making their games on steam is one of their biggest mistakes. The moment they make their catalogue available on steam, they are going to get a massive boost in revenue.
There's also a nice concept called an antilibrary [1]:

> The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others — a very small minority — who get the point that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means, mortgage rates, and the currently tight real-estate market allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.

At least, it's a good excuse to buy more books that one can read. :)

Agreed with all of this.

I'm a big fan of Blizzard products, played the original Starcraft when I was younger and still play some of the more recent games. It's blatantly obvious for a long time Blizzard has been sitting on its' laurels and not innovating.

The linked article does a great job of pointing out the major Blizzard mistakes, but I'll add one more: Blizzard's storywriting ability has fallen off a cliff. I love Blizzard games because of their great stories, but for years now the storylines have become muddled and clearly written by their D-team.

An example would be this story, but there are many more I could point to: World of Warcraft's latest cinematic is a narrative disaster and players hate it https://www.pcgamer.com/world-of-warcrafts-latest-cinematic-...
I thought this was running on a canvas element, but no.. characters are nested inside spans. That's amazing.
Sticking up for someone being harassed or treated unfairly isn't "being a snitch"
I was recently watching Kal Penn's "The Giant Beast That is The Global Economy", and the episode that covers the "Rent Seeking" behavior of large, entrenched, companies, rings fairly close to the kind of play Bezos was pulling out - maybe he's become too acclimated to the book and retail business.
Probably not. Hypothetically, it would be incredibly easy to acquire, at no cost, if it was fairly well know that a few million pounds of it was available for minimal effort behind a poorly guarded broken warehouse door. Why, I'd speculate that as much as 80% might be stolen before chance, incompetence, and bad luck came together to blowup the remaining 20%. Hypothetically. :)

That aside, this wasn't fertilizer. It was high purity explosives grade nitrate that had been enroute to a place intending to use it in explosive applications, not farming. That might be easier to obtain in Lebanon than other countries but it still doesn't fly completely under the radar. And why bother when there's a freighter worth of free supply?

Fertilizer would be easy to get a hold of, but take more more money, effort and larger quantities for the same bang, if that was the reason for buying it. Plenty of the Beirut supply might have been stolen to adulterate down to fertilizer concentrations, but a non-zero number of people were interested in its military applications, and it's existence wasn't a secret. And millions of pounds were stolen so it's fairly plausible some of it was stolen for use in explosives. That was actually one of the proposed disposal mechanisms by those who tried to get the government to act on the issue: Give it to the Lebanese army.
I, and I’m sure a lot of others here, would love to read about that.
Apple probably gets the biggest headline because, of the four companies you listed in total, they're the biggest company.

Actually, you are almost always better off buying the Chinese-import machine tools. With a bit of scraping and adjustment, the Chinese imports can perform extremely well.

The main thing about the small epoxy granite milling machines is that they have stupidly (30K RPM+) fast spindles--and generally have through coolant/air. That way, the cutting edge removes material before significant lateral forces develop and compromise accuracy due to lack of rigidity.
It's very popular with old people in my area. They love the feeling of doing something good by putting their rubbish in separate bins. I think they were indoctrinated in the 70s or 80s or something.
After reading a description of the comma device and how it's being used it seems uncannily like how my Mach E drives. But also as both my first EV and my first semi self-driving car, perhaps I have a different set of standards. My TLDR was that the adaptive cruise control and automatic lane keeping extended my daily driving range by several hundred miles by reducing cognitive load significantly. It was the best 900 miles I've ever driven.

But watching people nitpick various variants of electric crossover SUVs, I realize I would probably like just about all of them because none of my cars have been anything like that up to now.

So I keyed in my other two cars to see if I could put the comma into it and alas I cannot. They are 2013 and 2016 models respectively.

And yes the system in the Mach E is brand new:

I especially like second hand book sales at libraries/estate sales/etc because it totally derisks the purchase. For two bucks I won't feel guilty if I don't finish it. By the same token, though, I try to honestly look at my shelves periodically and ask 'am I gonna read this' or 'am I ever gonna read this again?'
That’s an idea I’ve been playing around with for my personal language. If I do decide to release it, I have a feeling there will be common style rules that will be required for any ‘library’ code (it would be like if C++ files had to meet google style guides to be posted to some central collection repo). I think the compiler could implement the conversion, but it could require a programmer supplied ‘translation’ file (like including Unicode to ASCII substitutions, or required macro unrolling to some language core set of language features). That would allow for anyone to keep there code formatted in the most logical way for them, but would allow for a common format for distribution. I would also think going the other way, from public style to private should be a possibility.

I don’t know if I will ever actually put my personal language out for release, but I’ve had two acquaintances repeatedly tell me (along with several HN commenters) that I really should at least release some blog posts about the language. Currently it is just my daily driver for work related programming and it compiles to C++, C, or JavaScript.
Nah the last good blizzard product was Starcraft 2.
The part that really gets me is that the warrant for bade them from seizing the boxes, and the FBI did it anyways. It might be a technicality to some, but we must hold the government accountable in all of its misdeeds. I am not a lawyer, but from what is written in this article, it seems the government has grossly overstepped when it could have achieved its goals legally. However that would require them to show cause, which avoidance of this basic and fundamental tenant, is very suspect.
Or, people can just learn to deal with the nuances of Javascript.
