What do you mean spout absolute non sense? The progress in image recognition has been insane in the past decade so your comment might have been accurate 10 years ago. If there's one thing DL/ML are very good at it's computer vision
I agree with you. I used to be in the "driverless car in 10 years" camp. But after driving a Tesla for the last 5 years, I know it is close to 50 years. My Tesla still does phantom braking. So forget about dealing with weather, construction, people, traffic, weird turns, weird signs etc. There is zero chance I will turn Tesla FSD on in a place like Market street in San Francisco
No, it's not; in fact I do it myself. That doesn't change the fact that all artists are competing for the public's attention.
Actually, at some point in the 2.4 kernel it was possibile to do that, with single image systems, such as openmosix, that handled process discovery, computation and much more, but underneath the simple user interface it was complex, kinda insecure and so, was never abandoned and never ported to newer versions.

Fat cells also require energy to live and you need energy to move them around.

For a 25 year old 5’10” male living a sedentary lifestyle the difference between 160lb and 200lb is ~2,060 vs 2,278 calories or about a 10% surplus. A more active lifestyle increase that difference ~3,262 vs 3,607 is about 380 calories per day or a 12% surplus.

Though I suspect the average obese person is significantly more than 40lb overweight. At 300lb he needs ~2,822 or roughly a 40% surplus while sedentary.
This was entirely a commentary on the social aspects of developers. We had an initial surge in productivity and then a lull. Product quality suffered a bit due to mis/non-communication. Not everyone made the transition to WFH in an effective way.

The engagement factor is realized with a very terse "yesterday I worked on recommendations, today I'll do the same". At that point the developer disappears for a few hours, never participates in any chat where less senior developers are asking questions. It's very siloed. The hardest part for leaders is to see how this translates into metrics they can understand. I'm absolutely ecstatic our org has adopted a "forever" WFH policy. I'm just cautious in how it'll all play out.

Except TikTok, like Facebook, is not available in China. The 抖音 platform cannot see posts from tiktok.
I get where you're coming from. It's par for the course on Apple's behalf to push this stuff away in lieu of their own, high-level implementation, but I also think that behavior puts them at an impasse. People who want to use this hardware for arbitrary purposes are unable to do so. Apple is unwilling to do it because they want their hand on the "API valve" so to speak. In a case where absolutist rhetoric is being used on either side, I think this is pretty expected. If we're ultimately boiling this down to "having choices" vs "not having choices" though, I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect the most valuable company in the world to go the extra mile and offer both choices to their users and developers.

Or not. It's their hardware, they just won't be selling any Macs to me with that mindset. The only thing that irks me is when people take the bullet for Apple like a multi-trillion dollar corporation needs more people justifying their lack of interoperability.
It's a two-way street. 100% agree that python lent itself to being a great wrapper language - but there has to be something valuable to wrap for python to be useful.
could the M1 itself be using it for branch prediction?
I was wondering where did all these "I started with fresh account, randomly clicked, and found something awful" articles about TikTok came from. Now I know.

It was so puzzling, because my experience has been so different. TikTok is the most positive, large scale, social platform I've ever used. It has exposed me to disabled people's, LGBTQ, POV and all kinds of neat things I'd have never even thought of.

California forever, goodbye!
> you still need to pay as long as you hold a citizenship or green card.

wait, I thought this only applied to US citizens, not Green Card holders
I think OpenVMS did this... in the 80's.
> The bill would exempt applicants holding a PhD in a STEM field from the annual per-country green card limits, enabling them to quickly apply for permanent residency without being subject to the availability of an immigrant visa

Watch as this one gets limited and watered down. Foreign PhD graduates are a cheap labor force for STEM universities.
Yes but your computer will not gracefully handle CPUs randomly failing or RAM randomly failing. Sure, storage devices can come and go, but that's been the case since forever, and most programs are not written to handle this edge case gracefully. Except for the OS kernel.

The links between the components of your computer are solid and cannot fail like actual computer network connections.

In terms of "CAP" theorom, the system has no Partition tolerance. If one of the the links connecting CPUs/GPUs/RAM breaks, all hell breaks loose. If a single instruction is not processed correctly, all hell might break loose.

So I find the analogy misleading.
I don't think "schmoozing" is necessarily information sharing. It can be, but more often than not it's simply "socializing, but with the goal of career benefit rather than friendship". Hanging out at the water cooler, golfing with other execs, having an extended lunch at the bar, doing "one on ones" where you don't talk that much about work, walking the hallways for the simple purpose of looking busy to everyone else. These are all schmoozing.

Having a hallway conversation with one person where you pass on critical business information isn't really schmoozing, but it is harmful to the overall organization.
You make it sound like no one would be able to create operating systems if there had been no Microsoft, whereas I think many people here (and the DoJ) would say that Bill Gates became a billionaire at least in part by illegally preventing other (better) companies from becoming successful.

A wise man once said "Every billionaire is a policy failure"[0], and you have to remember that if you allow Gates to hoard his wealth and spend it on ethically dubious things[1][2] then you also have to allow every other billionaire and millionaire to do the same, many of whom are providing even less value to society.

My Tesla still phantom brakes. And Tesla has been trying to solve it for, what 10 years ? My rain sensor also barely works. I have seen enough FSD videos and all the scary things it does. There is no way it will be ready to solve the last 1% in the next 10 years
Russia Accuses U.S. of ‘Cyber Aggression’
The way I would put this is that it's important to be familiar with calculus, to know that it exists and have a sense of where it tends to pop up. From that familiarity, you can look up the details on demand. But being entirely unaware of the techniques of calculus would probably be hindrance.
It's not really software. Electronics yes, software no. At least, AFAIK.
Use generics if it makes your dev experience better. Profile if it's slow. Optimize the slow bits.
Of course, and it would be awesome, and I believe that sort of thing is actually possible within a relatively short timescale. General self driving like 90% of people do every day? Nope, don't see that.
Glad to see Plan 9 getting some love in the comments even if it didn't make it into the article.
Well there is a prize for passing the test. I know, pretty naive of me.
At least in my org, our CIO has an admin assistant who handles his videoconferencing. Because he's unwilling to put in a few minutes to learn an essential tool.

I also find it hilarious when fellow IT associates demonstrate the same level of incompetence in Teams/Webex. Leaving mics live, taking their cellphones into the restroom. It really shows how the intelligence of any org is a Bell curve.
Thanks, I'll have to look into this more deeply. Currently cleanup is being left to the watched process, but it sounds like more rigorous monitoring of grandchild processes is needed.
So who cares? What's the point?
I have a mostly driverless car right now parked in my garage. My Tesla does about 95% of driving for me.

I rode in a fullY autonomous car, with nobody in the drivers seat, about a year ago (we have had fully autonomous waymos in Phoenix for a few years now).
You could put eyes on the outside of the car.
IIRC there was a story posted here on HN about the admins of the leaderboard helping the hot sauce guy cheat as well.
If they just had to pay it this once, I'd agree. But if they had to pay it every time they wrongly unpersoned someone, they'd change their ways really quickly.
I abuse `Decimal` all the time in python. I usually make a little helper with a very short name like

def d(in: Any) -> Decimal

Then use that everywhere I expect a float (or just anywhere). Decimal's constructor is so forgiving allowing strings, ints, floats, other decimals it is so convenient to use. Of course there is the perf penalty but I always think the precision is worth the tradeoff.
Totally agree. People become SOOO embrace full self driving so quickly.

I know 5 people with the Tesla FSD Beta, and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them has admitted to letting Tesla drive them home when they drank too much and went past the legal limit. And not a single one of those 5 people has ever had a DUI. So FSD rapidly changed there drinking behavior.

Also I get that I have an atypical and shitty social circle. I don't think this represents all Tesla drivers.
Then the men came home from war and many of the women who kept the country going were encouraged to get the heck out of the workforce and go back to keeping the house. Acceptance for married women to have a career was a struggle that lasted past the late 70's and honestly still affects women today. Acceptance of a woman being single either on purpose or being unable to find a husband is pretty dang recent and still not universal in the US.

You really think it was the women being young and recently out of school that caused their bosses and coworkers not to respect them?

I've been attempting the bullet journal method in the past year but each time it has ended in pages of random scribbles.

How do you balance order while also allowing creativity and in the moment fleshing out of ideas?
Also high-jackings. Not sure if automation would encourage it or discourage it. It’s not a big problem presently but who knows… trains in LA were getting looted in their yards.
They aren't talking about innovation but productivity. The OP asked "what bits of fundamental knowledge are productivity multipliers" this should hold true at whatever percentile of a field you chose, top 1%, 10% etc. However, it should be noted that the top 1% of innovators in a given field often do not understand the impact of their innovation on a multi-disciplinary or business context.
She uses it more like YouTube. The algorithm does a good job of feeding her videos related to her interests: puzzles, slime, Pyramids, etc.
Welcome to the M.O. of every (ex-) Gawker Media site. Find something on the internet that hasn't been covered, re-post it with enough summary to masquerade as an independent post, and get coverage on aggregator sites where most viewers never even glance at the original media.

This is well put. It gets to my ambivalent response to this list. Understanding parsers is important ... if you're parsing things. Etc.
Do you actually have FSD or are you going off of how it behaves when you use autopilot on city streets?

The FSD is really good.
It's notable that most of the failures in that video are human process and communication failures, not failures of the self driving system itself.

It's the kind of thing that could all be fixed in a few days of rehearsals of what to do when cars get into this state. I suspect that the main failure was that rider support had a button to 'pull over', but that the route to pull over was blocked by a cone, so the car failed to pull over, and then rider support seeing the failure probably tried to cancel the pullover (to try again), and it ended up keeping driving.

A simple logic change or even just better training/documentation could have fixed this.
There's a very good chance that you're actually using third-party modern high-performance reimplementations of these libraries, like MKL or OpenBLAS. The original Netlib libraries are often a compatibility fallback. For example the Windows installer of Octave asks you which one you want to use.
That isn't how it works. The study clearly states that the targeting criteria was not included in the analysis. If you look at any 2 advertisers running their own campaigns, and one is a savvier user of auction based ad systems, a 29% difference in CPM excluding targeting is common.
I think you're looking at the wrong abstraction level. You're thinking on a node (computer) basis. Even on a single computer, many of the things that happen are distributed. DMA controllers, input interrupts, kernel-forced context switches, there's a lot going on there but we still pretend that our computers are just executing sequential code. I agree with the OP and think it's high time we treat the computer as the distributed system it is. Fuschia and GenodeOS are both making developments in this direction.
This is good high-level advice as well as low-level advice.

Go is positioned to be most useful as an alternative to Java, and to C++ where performance isn't the key factor (i.e. projects where C++ would be chosen because "Enh, it's a big desktop application and C++ is familiar to a lot of developers," not because the project actually calls for being able to break out into assembly language easily or where fine-tuning performance is more important than tool-provided platform portability).
No matter how cheap that is, I should not have to worry about losing my personal Gmail because one of my former co-workers broke one of Google's rules at a different job.
As long as there are still some vehicles with human drivers on the roadways, congestion will not change.

This type of setup is routine in most real businesses.

If you want to talk to a tech company engineer for bug fixes, you pay for that level of service.

There is something a bit almost scammy about all these "businesses" demanding white glove custom treatment, but complaining loudly about even being asked to pay a one time $25 fee to get on platform.

It used to be to deploy to a platform / get SDKs for the platform the costs were FAR higher.

There are something like 5M+ android developers. If you want to support this developer pool with 2-3 hours of work per developer per year, you are looking at 15M hours of work per year. And these people also become a risk - they can be socially engineered, they can be paid off etc. We've seen this over and over again.

If you look at phone co employees who are supposed to protect you from sim swap attacks etc, they have a large number of employees, so service is "good", but security? Not so much.

What you are proposing is that google should offer a human service in a very adversarial and tricky area (ie, your own staff may be working against you) and that asking to get paid for that is "extortion" that would result in jail time. This is perhaps why they don't even offer a way to pay (a lot) for a very careful high level review. Folks like you would demand jail time for them. Instead we are stuck with automation.
Profit is what the company has for the shareholders to spend by themselves. For workers, the equivalent is the salary.
I was able to get my Adsense account reinstated simply by sending Google a letter alleging they had breached our contractual agreement. In researching my case I found a lot of people who had sued Google.

One of the most interesting ones was Free Range Content v Google[1] where a number of Adsense publishers had their accounts closed after Google detected invalid click activity on their websites. The publishers sued alleging Google breached the Adsense terms of service.

Incredibly the Court denied Google’s motion to dismiss and allowed the breach of contract claim to continue. Google settled shortly thereafter but the takeaway is that these terms of service contracts are not as ironclad as Google would like you to believe.

Let's look at some studies:

> Participants washed their gloved hands with a suspension of MS2 bacteriophage and hands were dried with one of the three hand-drying devices. [...] Over a height range of 0·15–1·65 m, the JAD [jet air dryer] dispersed an average of >60 and >1300-fold more plaque-forming units (PFU) compared to the WAD [warm air dryer] and PT [paper towels] (P < 0·0001), respectively.[1]

Okay, but I'm sure just-washed hands aren't all that dirty, right?

> This observational study was conducted to evaluate [...] hand hygiene practices among college students. [...] Overall, 72.9% of students washed their hands, 58.3% practiced hand hygiene (using either soap or hand sanitizer), and 26.1% washed their hands adequately.[2]

I couldn't find any epidemiological studies, but this feels like good enough of a reason to stick to other options considering these things are a solution in search of a problem anyway.

HB11's direct conversion scheme is electrostatic. No magnetic field.
If I had to build 1 right now.

Get yourself a pickup truck, tractor, or similar.

Get some bar long enough to weld to the chassis and push out say 50 feet in front, wider than the truck by a couple feet on each side.

Get an axle to rotate so it's spinning horizontal to the ground. On the axle you weld chains. Make the chains just long enough to strike the ground with enough force to make the mines go off.

Right immediately infront of the pickup you probably want some like 1/2" steel to protect the driver.

Drive forward slowly. Let the chains whip around colliding with the ground at highish speed. Let the mines just explode. After each explosion, back up. Repair the chains as needed.

What would that cost? Nothing really in the grand scheme of things.

Could even go further and just build a big RC car. Get a Tesla that just drives forward. No driver at risk at all. If a mine is designed to not go off on the chain striking the ground, but would go off on the truck. Then all good. Much more expensive though.
Anything that changed radically since 2021?

"Waymo and Cruise self-driving cars took over San Francisco streets at record levels in 2021 — so did collisions with other cars, scooters, and bikes" [1]

"...Many of the accidents, which the companies are required to report to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, occurred while the vehicles were operating in manual mode, with a safety driver in control.

...But according to an analysis by Insider, a majority of the 98 reported accidents in 2021 occurred while the vehicles were in autonomous mode, or within seconds after the autonomous mode technology had been switched off..."

Ah so you import the water, then remove the coconut, and sell it was Himalayan spring water.
Well sure. Not writing hand tuned assembly can make your code slower, too. Go's value as a language is how it fills the niche between Rust and Python, giving you low level things like manual memory control, while still making tradeoffs for performance and developer experience.
Here you go. https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/
Free daycare could get me back in an office. That would be a huge financial perk.
There are some optimists here.

- Pharmaceutical companies trash generics and lobby both directly to doctors and governments

- The sugar and food industry has had a significant role in informing consumers that their obesity was their fault and not the fault of their products

- The oil industry has had a significant role in informing consumers that climate change was their fault and not the fault of their products

- Fruit/vegetable companies I don't even want to get into (look up Chiquita/United Fruit Company)

- Anything to do with any major retailer/distributor and unions

They aren't "dirty" tactics so much as "profit maximizing tactics" and they are inherent to capitalist mega-corps.
Software capable of doing some of the tasks people want done is sufficiently complex that it allows you to issue multiple commands for which immediate action would be contradictory. Telling the application to save state but then also respond to a quit command "immediately" would be one trivial example. Tell an application to quit right after you launched any operation that requires on-disk state to be modified would be the more general case. The software is not bad, it's just got enough power to allow you to make your intent ambiguous.
Is this the first Turing Award for writing free software? As opposed to papers, I mean.

(They did mention his papers, but it seems clear that the software was more important.)
Apart from weather, a big issue outside the USA is also car infrastructure. The US is extremely car centric with large, straight, easy-to-maneuver roads everywhere. Here in Germany, it's different. We have rather narrow, chaotic roads, unclear signage, "right car has right of way" traffic rules which sometimes get resolved via hand signs, no jaywalking laws, etc.

I am still hoping for fewer cars on the road overall. The car itself is inefficient and hopefully on its way out.
Suffice to say, there is way too much bad code out there, and we all pay.
I applied to take part in a psilocybin study to treat major depressive disorder in Chicago as I lost my 8 month old baby to her battle with heart disease. I had a day of intake, interviews, medical exams, etc, but ultimately wasn't selected to take part in the study. During the intake though, I realised I probably have PTSD, more so than depression. So, this is great news! Or, it's definitely a step in the right direction at least.

Are HANDLEs as used by Win32 an example of what you are talking about? They may be implemented as a pointer to something, but that's not how you use it.
My complaint is with the discrete + integrated combo on Windows.

The worst offender here are the Firefox and Chrome web browsers. It seems like these get assigned the dGPU or iGPU randomly to different windows. If you get the wrong one you have problems with rendering, such as the title bar goes bad.

For years I would submit a ticket for this, it would seem to be fixed, then the bug would come back shortly thereafter.

I had one desktop replacement laptop that blessedly would let me disable the iGPU and then it would be reliable. My current Alienware doesn't.
As far as I know, there aren't fully automated warehouses. Amazon ones are still employing a ridiculous number of human pickers, sorters, packers.

You can use Lucene and implement these types of features on top of it if they're important to you. I think what the author was trying to say was the Lucene contributors decided to focus on a certain thing and leave other implementation features up to people using the library.

Lucene gives you a lot of levers to control how it works and if you want to build a distributed, MVCC, ACID compliant datastore on top of it, you can. It's just not a concern of the library.
