That's just ludditism. That logic works for any new technology. How do you know vaccines are safe under all conditions? How do you know planes won't crash under some "black swan" event? How do you know GM food won't poison you? How do you know your fuel tank won't explode? How do you know your ocean liner won't hit an iceberg and sink? There's literally no technology in the world that meets your standards.

You don't know. You measure and you decide, based on numbers and science and moral reasoning about risk. You don't get absolutes from anything else, why are you demanding it from cars?
How is the progression of SARS-CoV-2 different from that of every other endemic virus, and how have our vaccine distributions affected its evolution?

Very neat article.

For instance, are there other viruses which were devastating when they first hit a species, only to evolve to less devastating but eternal as the species collectively gets perhaps not herd immunity but herd resistance?

Intel for personal computer? It seems that Intel 8008/8080 based (hobby) PCs were very early one. Intel is the king for PC market until recently (so about 50 years?), but they are now losing market by ARM and AMD.

Though maybe Intel didn't intended 8008/8080 is used for personal computer.

This is a limitation that I haven't really found a way through. I haven't tried too hard though because I've found that I can often just let the complicating set up have the 'plain' github.com host and use the custom host for the other set up. If I found that both professionally and personally I needed submodules, though, I'd probably be in trouble.

Also, if the submodules are public, the plain host will work fine because it doesn't matter what key you authenticate with.
Ah, blessed be another COVID-19 fear-porn article. I love how half of these articles are about the anxiety that the lockdowns cause while the other half of articles induce the anxiety if it didn't already exist within the reader. What a virtuous circle!

NO good grief NO.

My friend showed me the horror of PornHub. Searched for "hidden shower" or something and there were 1000s of videos of women being recorded in showers. All non-consensual. Showing these videos is classified as sexual assault in many juristictions.

We reported some of the videos but they were still there 4 weeks later.

Abhorrent woman-hating website. I know that evil exists in the world but it was shocking to see it so openly. But the real horror is that people still openly defend it.
>To expect anything else is the outlier. Any human doing any job in physical labor without specialized design for non-human machinery/robotics is on notice.

In fields of high automation, like cars, production lines are almost entirely automated. Where you find areas that humans are needed isn't because our fingers are uniquely adapted to any sort of problem - it's because the problem the human solves would likely need AGI for a robot to do. I don't think anyone is anywhere close to tackling AGI.

Couldn't she have just not told dleslie the details? dleslie said the friend gave dleslie many more details. If the friend was ashamed of what she was doing, I think it would have been much simpler for her to only say very briefly what she worked on, like flight control software, but not go into any details and say it's confidential.

Intentionally giving a ton of details that will lead to dleslie figuring it out seems counter to her goal of not admitting what she's doing. Also her giving out this information sounds like it might actually be breaking confidentiality agreements.

Or, he likes press releases to distract from other ahem, issues that Tesla has. Like the current court cases about their "self driving" technology.

clippy can be used to check some of these conventions. See https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/#wrong_self_c..., for example.

On projects I work on, I include clippy as part of the CI process to check these types of things.
I assume if Tesla actually does intend to build them, they will be targeting a price point in the tens of thousands instead of $1M range. That is, priced comparable to a car.

If a robot cost say, $50k, they could seriously be cost effective compared to humans if they don’t have a ton of maintenance costs.
If you’re asking “can I have more sugar if I eat less bread?”, no, that’s not really how this works. Eat more whole fruit instead.

ed:

If you're asking "do I have to stop eating carbs", they're releasing these guidelines for normal people on a normal diet that includes carbs. If, instead, you eat an American diet, solve the sugar problem first and worry about the rest once you're past the withdrawal symptoms. You'll have to change your diet enough to avoid the sugar anyways and no point in making that extra-difficult.
The point is they needed to make multiple significant independent breakthroughs in established fields.

Turing like a lot of pioneers is seriously overrated. When surrounded by low hanging fruit it’s easy to seemingly make a great deal of progress especially when your credited with formalizing existing ideas or making that one last step into usefulness.

Einstein actually pushed boundaries in a well established field which is vastly more impressive. Musk significantly pushing the boundaries in cars, rockets, computer networks, and banking is quite impressive in that context. We can quibble about PayPal, but I am being consistent in ignoring the charging network and self driving system etc as those are emerging fields. Clearly he’s not operating alone, but few people did.

Newton is perhaps the most obvious example of significant progress in independent and established fields and IMO far more impressive, but it’s really not a long list.
I think the rule is people usually don't care unless it hits them directly at which point it is already game over.

I am not super religious about, but I do have boundaries. It is mostly like you said. It is all great until it isn't and employer is building a case against you.
I feel like I might be crazy but… isn’t this an issue with Apple products at work in general?

I am issued a MacBook Pro and iPhone from my employer. The IT dept. configured them to connect to our corporate infrastructure: Exchange, MS365, VPN, Dropbox, Slack, printers, etc.

IT did not issue me a corporate iCloud account. I can add my personal iCloud account to these devices if I want, and then I’ll get all my music, messages, etc. on them. Convenient! Or, I can use my work email to set up a new clean iCloud account and use that instead. I know from conversations that a lot of my colleagues add their personal iCloud accounts to corporate devices, especially phones.

Based on the comments elsewhere in this thread, it seems the weird thing at Apple is that @apple.com email addresses can’t be used in iCloud. Which makes it a bit trickier for Apple employees to set up a new clean iCloud for work.
That's definitely true but they did a good job supporting their tech once it was released.

My company has been using WinForms on .NET Framework for over 10 years now and it's working really, really well. Microsoft even added HiDPI support to it.

When Microsoft announced they wanted to bring WinForms to .NET Core 3, we were initially very happy as it meant we could switch to .NET Core. But then they did all kinds of shenanigans with it and completely rewrote the designer for .NET Core in Visual Studio, which is now riddled with bugs and crashes constantly. You cannot even load your own custom controls into it. I mean, you can, just get Microsoft to let you sign an NDA to get access to the APIs...
"Others are probing SARS-CoV-2 itself. In a preprint published this month, researchers tinkered with the virus to learn how much it has to change to evade the antibodies generated in vaccine recipients and recovered patients. They found that it took 20 changes to the spike protein to escape current antibody responses almost completely."

It's great that we have the genetic engineering tech to do these experiments and identify new risks while there is still time to be proactive about them. My best guess for the preprint is [0]. Note that the virus they were using is a vesicular stomatitis virus modified so its replication depends on ACE-2 receptor binding via the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein, a copy of which was spliced in. They're not working with SARS-CoV-2 itself. This technically would count as "gain of function research", as recently popularized, and is an example of how the approach can help us identify and respond to emerging threats. It sounds like we may end up handling Covid exactly like the flu, with annual vaccines tailored to whatever strains seem most dangerous for the upcoming year.

Who is "legal"? Corporate legal? They no right to your personal phone. Even if they were subpoenaed, they could only ask you to hand over data on corporate devices, not your personal one.

The only people who can get your personal device are a search warrant from a court.
That is a good point; Musk does sometimes announce things that essentially serve as a placeholder for "we're going to do this thing once the technology improves enough to make it feasible", and this is likely more of the same.

But "useful humanoid robot" is way more forward-looking than anything else he's done this with; the closest thing would be the whole "full self-driving without LIDAR" thing, which keeps getting pushed back and is likely not possible with current technology. And building a humanoid robot that can actually do stuff is probably an order of magnitude more difficult than that.

If I had to make a bet on when it was possible, I'd say 25 years. Maybe 10 if Tesla goes all-in on robots and spends tens of billions on it, Manhattan project style.
They still have problems with listening. It got much better but they often do not hear or understand when it does not fit into the world picture of their product managers. This is human (and in that level not bad or malicious) but they are a bit too proud for it.
How much would you be willing to pay for a machine that folds laundry? At least as much as the machine that washes them, I imagine.

So far the only machines that have come even remotely close to being able to fold laundry (and they aren't very good) have humanoid arms.

Somehow those tubes keep $22tn flowing :)

Alas, I’m not sure which tubes you’re referring to. These days, banks use FTP to shuffle bank transfers around.

However, I do think checks have their uses. I’d rather write a check than use cash any day of the week. You can cancel a check, but you can’t cancel cash. Of course, I’d rather pay digitally. But sometimes that’s not an option.

Also: “cashing” a check usually just mean depositing it into your bank account. Not swapping it for cash, although you can do that, too.
I don't think this is accurate. I don't use the Google Photos cloud service, and searching in the Photos app on my Android phone returns zero results for any search term.
The company has no legal right to even know you have a personal device. You could just say you don't have one.

Or just quit the company if they ask you to hand over a personal device.
I, too, can make a slide with a concept for a functional humanoid robot on it.
I don't believe that such a secret organization does not use basic security measures like password, device encryption, etc. Even unmodified iPad is more secure than that. And you would expect some security investments if they cared to build custom map software.

So probably fake.
Also can depend on how high value the part is. I remember one time our purchasing agent bought 10,000 units of something. Took 5 years to use it all up. Normally they were $0.25 but some company canceled a huge order leaving the distributor with about 50,000 units overstock. We got them for $0.05 each.
Isn’t this article basically discussing that? Looking at how other viruses have behaved and trying to analyze how COVID-19 may also potentially behave going forward, if it were to take the route of those other viruses?
I like the clean design and general straightforwardness of the site. Exciting that you're taking on such an established paradigm.

My questions are about initial audience...

I showed this to a software designer just now (who codes a little bit, maintains a site deployed to vercel) and the response was "this is a coding tool, I don't get it". For me as an experienced developer, I know git really well so it doesn't solve a problem for me.

That said, I totally remember git being frustrating to learn in college!

Who do you go after first, how do you find them, and what's their core use case?
I would hope that they can use a framework that's general enough to adapt to other form factors. So, making a humanoid is a way of giving themselves a difficult enough initial problem that they're less likely to be fooled by early success: the humanoid robot will have to self-balance, walk, open doors, and do a lot of the complex things that humans do without thinking in order to be considered a minimum-viable product.

In the long run if this pans out, I'd expect to see farming and weeding hexapods, equipment-hauling centaurs, wheeled platforms with arms for getting around office spaces, construction bots with long-fingered hands and asymmetrical multi-jointed appendages, and so on. If the AI has a general capacity for motor-skill learning, then you can just give it whatever body is most optimal for the task at hand.

I'm reminded of this video on training an AI to walk through simulation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgaEE27nsQwh

Do people just assume she's telling a truthful story?

I wonder that because I worked there for years and anything remotely like what she claims was implausible when I was there, and would have been immediately corrected with impunity had such occurred.

I mean there's security all over and they're not in a managerial chain, so something seems very difficult about her claims to me.

In saying that, maybe she did have some entirely crazy people around her. Evidence would be stronger than conjecture, and I hope she has some if such happened.

Methinks a pendant would have read the Pulitzer Prize winning book before commenting, rather than blythely dismissing one of the most influential books about city planning as "ahistorical".

Oh man good eye. I wonder if that's a copyright for the app or the base map. I'm guessing the base map as I doubt some custom military app is going to put a copyright on the image.
Another interesting direction would be to make model objects from existing popular tools (sklearn, xgboost, pytorch, etc) more portable to other languages.
This doesn't seem like the kind of problem that would require a humanoid robot to solve though? It's just that even with current state of the art robotics, things like grabbing cardboard boxes (easily crumpled or dropped, mass distribution within may be uneven or unstable, may already be broken or leaking etc) and stacking them into a stable 3D pallet is actually quite hard, so much so that Boston Dynamics managing to do some parts of this in optimal conditions with uniform, lightweight boxes was hailed as a breakthrough:

“average daily energy expenditure of traditional Hadza foragers was no different than that of Westerners after controlling for body size”
It was a similar story at Microsoft: for a long time we couldn't reliably use @microsoft.com e-mail addresses as MSAs ("Microsoft Accounts", the then-new name for Windows Live IDs), so we were all told to create a new non-@microsoft.com address for stuff that needed an MSA - I don't remember the guidance for if we could re-use our pre-existing personal addresses or not but I know that some people did, but most people created new @outlook.com addresses.

IIRC, they did iron out the problems eventually, and finally came-up with a semi-decent UX for normal (non-MSFT) people that had an Office 365 ("Organizational account") with the same e-mail address as an MSA - but I think internal MSFT accounts still have issues? My information isn't up-to-date fwiw.

FWIW, I never had access to any "real" internal resources via my new @outlook.com MSA address - the only things it did have access to was things like MSDN Subscriber Downloads[1] and as a backup/recovery e-mail address for my @ms org account.

[1]: Oddly enough, I retained access to the MSDN Subscriber Downloads area, including full ISOs and Product Keys for about 2 years after I left the company, I only lost access because that was when they moved everything over from "MSDN Subscriber Downloads" to "My Visual Studio" which changed everything.
I can attest to the importance of this legal separation. I had a personal laptop stolen that had work files on it from before my work had given me a laptop, and I had the uncomfortable responsibility of disclosing that to my boss.

I hadn't even done anything wrong but it made me hella uncomfortable thinking about my work or the cops getting their hands on my laptop. It just feels too personal.

I had to file police reports and everything, and ultimately it was never found, but I still hate the idea and sometimes think about where that laptop ended up.
I mean I got a laugh. I like it
>make deals with the local death squads to be the sole suplier in your area

Mysteriously, all the major grocery chains in my area switched from Buitoni to Rana tortellini a few years ago. I don't like the latter and refuse to buy it.

I never thought of it being the death squads.

It is a good point that markets are always run by someone and are never free in the sense of ungoverned.

However, relationships with private entities tend to not be geographically exclusive in most cases. Whereas governments usually are.

I could move to another city or state, but unless I uproot myself, I'm stuck with one city, one county, one state, and one country.

There could be more competition, say, between Lowe's and Home Depot, but if I really want something and hypothetically they are colluding, I can probably find it somewhere locally, or online.

They read the email of your personal email account if you use it in the company-owned phone? Or they read the email of your company email account?

In other words, when you say 'This. +100', what do you mean by 'This'? The parent comment raised many points and I'm confused as to which one you're referring to.

Presuming you also contribute to FOSS projects, and that you additionally use the FOSS you work on personally at work, there will come a point at which a bug you find at work will require you to fix the upstream FOSS project on your work laptop.

Here's the interview I was remembering:

https://youtu.be/5Gq16RO2XB0

I can't tell if there's truth to it or if he's just really good at stringing words together.
At work, I'm the maintainer of a 30k SLOC VB.NET codebase. Originally windows-only, when I took over I ran it under mono on Linux and OSX. The day that MS released dotnetcore, I jumped to that. Overall the experience has been really good.

There are lots of complexities, but in short... .NET 5 gave it a 4% speed boost across the board, going up to 20% [!] in some cases. Mainly that was ascribable to the intersection of GC improvements and kinda-degenerate cases in the model.

For this particular codebase, very little in that article will be that significant [the VB.NET code uses a pretty limited set of stuff in the core libraries]. But their trajectory, and a million tiny improvements, really gives me a lot of optimism.

What I originally considered a pretty cynical stab at Oracle when they released .NET's source has really turned into a wonderful, performant, developer-friendly, and pleasantly-cross-platform ecosystem.
