The backstory that seems to have been forgotten here is that self driving cars are still a money bleeding endeavor. It's why Uber sold its own self driving division and it's something Cruise has said in the past still needs to be figured out.

Uber has pivoted to doing partnerships with any self driving player that is looking for a customer base. Waymo doesn't have the tech nor the desire to figure out logistics to compete with Motional or Cartken in the delivery space, for example. None of these players can instantaneously ramp up to millions of vehicles on the road; they physically don't have enough hardware and the age of money burning for growth at all costs is behind us. I can't imagine Waymo has bigger utilization than Bolt, or even Alto.

The way I see it, Uber is more like McDonalds: "easy" to copy from conceptual perspective but also a globally recognizable brand with an undeniably strong customer acquisition arm.

Waymo still has a lot to prove to themselves in terms of ROI. Customer acquisition would be even more expenses on top of the already expensive tech, partnering with Uber to offload these costs to a proven customer acquisition player makes sense for them.

Yeah it's kind of like summing gyroscope values at a constant rate, it just cancels out and gives a good rotation with a little drift over time. If only regular accelerometers were as good as mems gyros.
That's not actually a blocking problem, as you have the same issues with human drivers today. At the end of the day, just like literally everything else in life, self-driving tech is a statistical process with corresponding costs.

The bar for success here isn't perfection. Rather, it's whether or not self-driving vehicles are cheaper than human-driven vehicles. Part of the cost of a self-driving vehicle hinges on how often the vehicles end up in failure states necessitating remote human intervention and/or insurance payouts. It's fine if they sometimes fail, they just have to do so infrequently enough to be cheaper. And if Waymo is to be trusted, they already appear to be safer.

Real French Onion dip, made with onions and not a prepared packet, is another nice dish with real carmelized onions. Alton Brown has a good recipe for the basic version: https://altonbrown.com/recipes/onion-dip-from-scratch/ Note he's honest about how long it takes ("Total Time: 2 hours", step 3 doesn't have a time estimate but it's about right overall).

It isn't haute cuisine, but for something you might serve for a Superbowl party it's at least pointing in that direction. It can stand up to taking a moment to savor and inhale it, moreso than most of the rest of what might be served up there. Pair with the bizarrely tasty Costco Kettle Krinkle Cut potato chips.
He's not very technically strong, and a lot of their songs are very easy to play.

But is that all there is to it? Should not the drumming serve the song? I don't believe a lot of Metallica's music would be improved by making the drumming more technically impressive (at least for their earlier stuff, I have my gripes about the drumming in their last couple of albums). Their style is simply one which benefits much more from the unique but easy grooves rather than highly technically impressive drumming. And IMO, this simplicity is one of the things which distinguishes them from most other metal bands. I love myself some Slipknot, but I would not love that kind of drumming on Metallica tracks.

If I wanted to claim he's a terrible drummer, I would point to his inability to keep up live, how he has a habit of simplifying parts and missing timings in a way that sounds bad.

No, because English is the linguistic equivalent of Turing complete. There is no concept you can’t express (if verbosely) in English.

But the weak form of Sapir-Worf is that verbosity and grammar matters, that we tend to think in shortest forms, and that if we had a mother tongue or native-level language that was expressive, precise, and minimally ambiguous, that would be reflected in the clarity of our thinking.

This is interesting, but it doesn't really solve the key distribution problem: with well-known hosting you now have a (weak) binding to some DNS path, but you're not given any indication of how to discover that path. It's also not clear that a DNS identity is beneficial to PyPI in particular (since PyPI doesn't associate or namespace packages at all w/r/t DNS).

More generally, these kinds of improvements are not a sufficient reason to retain PGP: even with a sensible identity binding and key distribution, PGP is still a mess under the hood. The security of a codesigning scheme is always the weakest signature and/or key, and PGP's flexibility more or less ensures that that weakest link will always be extremely weak.

This would help on some level, although it would definitely make the stress on applicants much higher.

E.g. there’s increasingly an expectation that students should come into a PhD program with one or more publications already under their belt. For top programs ideally these should be first author (not yet an absolute requirement but it’s more important each year).

So you better get a good research assistant job as an undergrad so you can do that. It has to be early enough in undergrad that you have time to get the paper out before applying to grad school. So you need to be prepared to get a professor to work with you freshman/sophomore year…

So you have to have evidence of skills basically coming in to undergrad. Either be really brilliant and stand out in class, or, better, have some experience in high school to make you credible…

These pressures would only increase with fewer PhD slots. Maybe that’s fine long term but it does have a distorting effect on people’s lives if you have to make high stakes decisions that early.
In the same way that European data protection regulations apply to firms with European person’s data, even if they aren’t European firms, US money protection regulations apply to firms with U. S. people’s money, whether or not they are US firms. And, also from the article:

My take might be naive, but isn’t pleasure in general — fun in this specific case — the chief reason that people compromise their moral beliefs?

For pure rescript code it's pretty much as reliable as elm.

The only time I've really seen them is when interacting with js/ts code. The rescript externals system is easier and more flexible than elm ports, but for that reason less safe.

If you don't model the types of incoming data exactly it can cause runtime errors. For some packages it's very difficult to do that with high confidence so I've seen a few leak in. Similarly if you use gentype to map typescript types to rescript, it assumes the types are both correct and sound. Which are not actually guarantees typescript makes I don't think. So I've seen some from that as well.

Rescript doesn't really do a great job at displaying these types of errors either. It's usually pretty obvious where they came from but not always why unless you have good knowledge of the API you're hooking to. So, rare but anomalously frustrating in an otherwise very pleasant language.

I think for this reason it's pretty standard to avoid writing or consuming package-wide bindings to npm modules. It seems like everyone is just writing tuned limited externals only for the parts they actually use, except for a handful of very popular libraries.
I wouldn't say it's all bad on the Tour front, the recent city tracks ported from there to 8 Deluxe are much better now (like Amsterdam, Bangkok and Singapore), and the original tracks made for Tour have been excellent additions for the most part (Ninja Hideaway, Merry Mountain, Yoshi's Island, the not yet in 8 Piranha Plant Cove, etc).

But it's definitely disappointing to see their designs for mobile games be like all the competition sleaziness wise, with their last remaining mobile games being the worst in that regard. Hopefully they'll leave that market soon enough, especially given talk that they didn't find it worth competing in anymore now that the Switch is a huge success.

Proof?
In case you're wondering what AARD means (I did): "The name was derived from Microsoft programmer Aaron R. Reynolds (1955–2008), who used "AARD" to sign his work; "AARD" was found in the machine code of the installer" (from Wikipedia).
The first hypothesis seems to be false. We have no idea how the brain works or how conscience arises (and what it is). So how can we reproduce or surpass it with a pattern recognition machine like a DL system? Just because the brain uses pattern recognition as a trick to build a model of the world does not mean that DL magically produces conscience. There is too much evidence that biological systems don't work that way, and all this discussion seems like old alchemists discussing whether gold transmutation could destroy the world. We have to learn "chemistry" first. Later we can start discussing that (or deeper issues like what will be the relationships between us and sentient pieces of silicon).
"Look over here! This law is bad therefor all laws are bad" is not a very convincing argument.

Science as a whole has died a hard death.

All reward and prestige of being a researcher has been lost and the people in the study have a slim chance of being able to work with their degree.

Which I understand is about the opposite of what this article wants, but you shouldn't trust the people who have broken science to fix it.
Research itself gets locked behind tightly walled journals and are written with obscure and difficult language laymen can't understand, peer review has become a hoop jumping scam that let's bad research through.

Medical review and other ethics boards are suffocating the ability for researchers to actually do things in a massive overcorrection from the early days of research.

Media is in a continuous game of misrepresentation of everything researchers say and trust in scientific truth had lead to instructional actors getting their fingers in the process and corrupting it to suit their ends.

ARXIV and the likes are the future of science. Where literal discord servers are getting together to publish studies. Yeah. Bunk gets published all the time, but peer review can just happen dynamically through good old regular unchecked skepticism.

I would never in a billion years engage in the academic side of research. If I wanted to be a scientist I'd do it as a hobby, buying the tools to do it in my garage and publishing to open journals where ethics boards and bureaucrats cannot touch me beyond the reach of actual law.

In all hopes, academia will start to crumble and this sort of garage philosophy will grow into a network of people that replaces it with a fresher and more dynamic outlook.

The article states multiple times that harassment, bullying, abuse and general toxicity is affecting science workers in general, but in particular women and minorities.

ugh. I'm going to guess this guy never worked on a microservice project in earnest.

I work on two large cloud products. One is a monolith, one is microservice-based.

The microservices and the connections between them are easier to reason about than the free-for-all connections and dependencies between components in the monolith.

We have a far easier time adding new features to the microservice product. And somehow, the microservice produce requires less maintenance and is far more reliable than the monolith.

The article's math is fine, but it completely omits that in E = mc^2, m is the relativistic mass, i.e. the rest mass m_0 * gamma? They even perform the exercise of extracting gamma there. If m is interpreted as the relativistic mass, the term is complete again and the premise of the article breaks down.

Sure, it's interesting to see the math, but the main take-away should not be that E = mc^2 is somehow incomplete. It should be that there are different kinds of masses.
That's right, and the other thing I forgot to mention is that we're seeing evidence that it becomes easier for company A as well.

If both sides are arguing for their own custom template, then it's basically an arm wrestling match and whoever has the most leverage wins. If one side instead says "We adopted this independent standard created by attorneys from a bunch of companies" they get more leverage while being less adversarial.

Our early users saw a significant increase in the percentage of deals on their own paper (which is/was the standard) before they could be getting any benefit from the customer having seen the agreement before.
Name recognition and installed user base in a 2-sided marketplace. That's huuuge.

Google owns the action "to google something". Uber owns the action to "get an Uber".

Also, don't underestimate the value of a working business. Google has only ever been successful with a search engine and an ad platform. They've never been success in a consumer product/service. I don't think their corporate structure and business culture makes them likely to succeed in B2C.

Uber has it's flaws, but they've been very reliable as a consumer. And have responsive and helpful support. Imagine having to rely on Google to provide support to a stranded user or resolve a dispute.

Answering these questions can be difficult.

Not everyone has the same amount of information and context. E.g., if you've never played chess against a grandmaster, you might not know just how far you have to go. You might not know anyone who has gotten the degree you're interested in, and are therefore unable to evaluate whether it will make you "better" (you might not even know what "better" means). Cost is also contextual. Hard to predict how the economy will fare in the long run and whether your plans will be born to fruition. So, pretty difficult to come to terms with whether you value the thing!

For all these reasons, knowing something about the average person, degree, college, price, etc is actually quite valuable for someone with little information. There is plenty of reason to discuss it.

Also, re: "never" "always": the ubiquity of the undergraduate degree is recent. Not so easy to extrapolate...

On the other hand, having bizzare takes is a sign of being misinformed.
I did have a guy, supposedly experienced, push some code to master that he had obviously not run because it still had obvious syntax errors. I can only assume there was a bit of a culture mismatch, but still, shall we say I was peeved.
You are asking for a proof of a negative, which can’t be proven. Nevertheless I offer the entire field of computational semantics, which has yet to generate a counter-example.
Sorry I didn't mean to say "random" in the sense of stochastic, more like "eclectic". Usually when I saw such papers with eclectic author mix, at least a few are listed as independent researchers or unaffiliated (even though they might have a PhD or are applying to grad schools or whatever). I was wondering maybe I'm out of date and everyone in those circumstances now just has a 'doing research as' corporate alias.
For some reason, I started laughing uncontrollably when listening to the actual example linked there.

Right. I've never used PyPI, but TFA makes it sound like the existing support for signing is "We allow the uploader to upload a signature, and the downloader can look up the key indicated in the signature to do the verification." Is that correct? If so, then yes there is a key ID involved but no email address, so a generic downloader would have no choice but to look it up from a key server.
