I bet if the ECU in your car dies a technician is unable to open it and replace anything. Everything has to have a limit. How many Xboxes were thrown away because of one bad component? It sucks, but if the company has at least some program in place to try to recover as much as possible from damaged/used parts, then that's a bonus. And Apple seems to have a decent program for their iPhones at least with robots to tear them into component pieces for recycling.

Self-driving cars currently operate in extremely controlled conditions in a few specific locations. There's very little evidence that they're on a trajectory to break free of those restrictions. It doesn't matter how much an airliner climbs in altitude, it's not going to reach LEO.

Self-driving cars will not revolutionize the roads on the timescale that people thought it would, but the effort we put into them brought us adaptive cruise control and lane assist, which are great improvements. AI will do similar: it will fall short of our wildest dreams, but still provide useful tools in the end.
Cherrypicked raw death counts are a lobbyist measuring scheme, not social science.

For example, if self-driving cars end up being prone to hitting children darting out on to city streets in new and unpredictable ways, then you have created impediments to the growth and development of children that did not previously exist. Would this be balanced by enhanced safety in other situations? Maybe.

These are complex topics like whether and how long schools should have stayed closed during COVID. Balancing the death and disability effects largely falling on adults vs. the educational interests of children.
I make my living within this 20% of non-functionality.
I definitely agree…the opposite of this takes a lot longer for me to read and understand.

I think the point includes reducing unnecessarily complex terminology as well. Do we have to “execute” a function or can we just simply “run” it?
Seems like AI is becoming pretty effective at undoing the “lack of error” part…
We've had to do tech support for family using Macs, but I'll admit it's been less than my Windows-using family. I have 1 family member in mind in particular that I think would have been better off with a Mac. And I probably would have been better off, too, because I could tell them I don't know much about them and send them to the store with a clear conscience. ;)
When I was an junior admin in college, there was always at least one kid a trimester who 'experimented' with a fork-bomb on one of the shared Unix servers, and was shocked to learn that there are things you can do that you really shouldn't do. Same thing.
Cadence for example, the software that the engineers design and run simulations of the latest and greatest ICs with, from HN's favorite RISC Vs to Nvidia's 4090, only runs on SLES and RHEL.

ANSYS fluid dynamics simulator is another. All the advanced planes, future engines have been simulated with it.

CATIA and NX are advanced and very expensive CAD software (the basic licensing packages for a medium grade company can easily near a million and often exceed). Both runs only on SLES or RHEL.

Many large businesses use on-prem SAP deployments which runs only on SLES.
As I recall, there were arguments at the time saying that it would be good if Amazon did nothing with it. People wanted Amazon to leave the product alone and not mess with it. And I still feel that way. What would you have wanted them to do with it?

Containers don’t necessarily solve this challenge. Containers still run (on top of) an OS.

What you want in EMR and banking is stability and reliability. Validating your logic against a stable, consistent suite of APIs, binaries, etc is a basic building block of those use cases.

The industry would ask the same of containers.

You could take a more abstract approach instead, but you’re really just passing the validation and certification buck around the stack.

> The "Great Minds And Great Leaders" types are rushing to warn about the risks, as are a large number of people who spend a lot of time philosophizing.

Except they're not philosophizing, not in any real sense of the word. They're terrible at it. Most of them are frauds, quacks, and pseudo-intellectual con artists (like Harari) who adore the limelight offered to them by the media and a TED Talks-watching segment of the public who are, frankly, intellectually out of their depth, but enjoy the delusion and feeling of participating in something they think is "intellectual".
>the original manufacturing processes could not have been that complex or specialized either?

this is sort of tangential, but I read that the NASA Saturn V rocket that took the astronauts to the moon could not be recreated today, the "manufacturing process" relied on a small army of skilled welders, machinists, fitters, etc. that just don't exist today. The new rockets being built now need to fit into the currently available industrial base.

Reminds me of Merlin Mann's "perfect apostrophe": http://www.43folders.com/2006/06/11/perfect-apostrophe
Wikipedia says:

"When a process crashes, it neatly exits and sends a message to the controlling process which can then take action, such as starting a new process that takes over the old process's task"

But this seems only a small piece of what would be needed. And if the idea is to have a main process spawning a tread (or process) for each "thing" it has to do so that the thread can be neatly re-spawed in case of failure, how is this much better done in Erlang than in any other programming language? Can you please elaborate?
They do the same things to their own citizens. It’s common to hear reports of people disappearing.

On China the party is not there for the people. It’s the opposite. The people are there for the party.

And everyone is expendable.

What I don’t get is why are they so obsessed with power to the point of extreme oppression when they had everything needed to naturally grow into a great country with good quality of life and nice relationships with the global community.
I don't know, but it may also be that the bench scientist is so close their work and passion that they are more likely to overlook or diminish the externalities, dangers and possible consequences of their work. While the more generalist types, the visionaries, futurists, and philosophers tend to have a broader perspective that leads them to provide stern warning.

Isn't that how things go in so many technology fields? "Move fast and break things" pressure to deliver and money, reputation and fame involved in doing so are equally Ego-related and leading to biases that make on "laugh or roll their eyes".

I find this to be more of a reflection of how well aligned you and the code reviewer are. When both of you know the code base inside out and trust each other, it's fine. But sometimes the author is a noob and the code reviewer has to review every little detail, much like an examiner looking at a student's paper. Or sometimes they might have a personal beef.

See https://www.criticker.com/explain/ -- it works sort of like what you're suggesting. You rank movies from 0-100, which is different from rating them. Your percentile ranking scores are compared to other users' rankings, and then it can suggest movies that it thinks you will rank highly.

IMO the real problem with something as subjective as books or movies is that even completely honest, well-reasoned reviews are going to be all over the map. My review of a Pride and Prejudice movie is going to be maybe 3/10, but my wife would give it 7/10, while we have the opposite reactions to something like The Hunt for Red October.

I don't care about reviews from experts or the unwashed masses. I don't even really care about reviews that much -- I'm more interesting in ratings from people who like the same kind of stuff I do.

Seems like the existing user base, reviews, and lists were the main source of value. I don't want to be "that guy" but I'm curious what made it so hard to rewrite some or all of the CRUD aspects?
There was some effort to reverse engineer those devices [1] so that one could use for example either transmitters or receivers paired with normal PCs and not just connecting them straight each other. There are also newer models around, though I'm not aware of any reverse engineering efforts so far.

If you want to tinker with them, please leave some writeup of the results. Beware that there are both HDMI over IP and aesthetically very similar, but often cheaper, HDMI over Ethernet cable adapters. The 2nd ones contain no brain and can't do any IP encapsulation, they're essentially just level translators using CATx cable to carry the HDMI signals, and of course aren't compatible with any network devices, switches, etc. For that use, you want HDMI to IP transmitters and receivers, which should be clearly marked as capable of working in a network environment. Check carefully the features before buying, because some among the stupid level translators sold on the usual channels are marked as HDMI over IP, which they clearly are not.

Value types have gained more functionality in recent versions.

You can quickly create record structs or value tuples (that auto-implement Equals(obj) & GetHashCode()) and pass them around by reference instead of copying.

record struct RGBA(byte R, byte G, byte B, byte A);

// allocate a small collection on the stack
Span<RGBA> colors = stackalloc RGBA[3]
{
new RGBA(255, 0, 0, 255),
new RGBA(0, 255, 0, 255),
new RGBA(0, 0, 255, 255)
};

// get value by reference
ref var c = ref colors[2];
c = new RGBA(127, 127, 127, 255);

// prints: RGBA { R = 127, G = 127, B = 127, A = 255 }
Console.WriteLine(colors[2]);

// value tuple
(byte R, byte G, byte B, byte A) white = (255,255,255,255);

Heap allocated generic collections of value types have better data locality than collections of reference types.

Ref struct is a type of struct that is always stack allocated and cannot be promoted to the managed heap or boxed. `Span<T>` is ref struct.

Spans allow you to create views over contiguous regions of memory that is located on the stack or on the heap or over native memory. You can pass spans to methods that then read/modify the data in the view.

And many other features that help you manage memory or avoid allocations.

For example. When working with interfaces you can avoid boxing allocation of value types by using a generic type constrained to the interface instead of the interface.

As another person that's worked in payment (specifically aquiring) for 6 years: PCI compliance is not a trivial matter as you seem to believe.

It involves recurring audits of all systems in contact with cc information.

While I've never used stripe, i doubt they'd let you use that API without the certificate, as they wouldn't be able to do the aquiring for illegitimate transactions such as that. They could lose their status as an aquirer if they did that knowingly, and that would make it impossible to process any visa/Mastercard transactions.

You're more likely to encounter a simple scam/phishing site then a legitimate shop that let's cc information onto their servers. And that's honestly the only danger apple pay protects you from.

Not necessarily.

In fact, based on my experience I'd wager that in the bulk of the cases a bankruptcy would be far simpler from a paperwork perspective (but harder on the creditors).

because you should really look into these frameworks if you really think its a good comparsion. if you exclude all the unserious java frameworks you will be stuck with vertx, after that there is a huge list of c# and than there is the rest of java. I mean yes, these frameworks might be the next big thing in the java world, but once they are there, they will at least loose 20% of performance. (p.s. you can also remove the first c# entry, because no sane person will write everything as a middleware)

The point of my comment is that even the distribution represents intelligence. If you give it a tricky Yes/No question that results in a distribution that's 99.97% "Yes" and negligible values for every other token, that is interesting.

> What if all I care about is something easily measurable, like the length of each remaining piece?

If you're not just talking about the two large pieces, but also the lengths of the small splintered pieces, I suspect the computer is going to be a lot faster at figuring that out than you will be manually measuring them.

Your responses in this thread seem to be a bit disingenuous: first you ask why a computer simulation could be better than doing it manually, but then when people tell you the things the computer can do faster/better than you, you say "but what if I don't care about that?" Well, duh, if you don't care about anything but the most trivial things, the computer probably isn't going to be of any benefit to you.
