In what court of public opinion did they lose? Among people who were interested in open source 20 years ago? Sure! But who else doesn't like them?

The general public of people our age thinks good things about Microsoft. Even my siblings find my dislike of Microsoft bizarre. The only thing about Microsoft that most people my age ever hated was Clippy. And even Clippy is now generally liked.

And developers under 35 seem to find it bizarre that if I call Microsoft the Evil Empire. Just as I once found it strange that developers from the 1980s thought of IBM that way.

I would argue that Unity is about 10x the size it needs to be. They could shed a significant portion of their employees and still produce a good product.

They are in the perpetual growth trap that so many of these companies fall into when they get bigger than a niche audience
Reclaim open standards like RSS, then? Why remove it in the first place? I contemplate more and more to start consuming news in the form of RSS, because there's no algorithmic curation, or even by the HN hivemind, which is fickle.
Does this feel a lot like Xeon Phi v3.0 to anybody else?

Intel's strategy here is baffling to me. Rather than keep trying to improve their existing line of coprocessors (and most critically, keep accumulating key talent), they kill off the program, scatter their talent to the four winds, wait a couple years, and then launch another substandard product.
Finance markets are spread throughout the world and people spend a fair amount of money building efficient networks to route data between them faster than the competition, yes.
> many supported their desire for better wages and working conditions, but feelings were much more mixed on support for allowing AI to replace writers.

It could be slightly lower but its still pretty high. This poll says 74% of likely voters support a prohibition on AI replacing humans for writing TV shows compared to 67% support for the strike overall.

It is a lot lower than the 87% support for "appropriate compensation" for reruns and streaming, but I think that is a much less contentious question than the AI writing prohibition one. By definition practically everyone agrees that they deserve "appropriate" compensation, the debate is over what is appropriate.

Your kind of playing a little fast and loose with the term 'database'. You've implemented a naive persistent cache. (Don't get me wrong, I have too at times. they can be quite useful.)
I would put forth an alternative theory with two parts: the smaller factor is that Linux was a better for web servers than Windows Server and the explosion of the business impact of the web sent developers toward workflows that played nicely with Linux.

The bigger factor is that smartphones allowed competitors to get a reset on the playing field for the consumer market.

Mac marketshare was in single digits until the iPhone took hold (yes, even after the success of the iPod), and we still had Microsoft dominating the market with over 80% marketshare as of 2018 (macOS has only hit double digit marketshare percentage as of about 2016, roughly doubling to over 20% from that time until today).

As an edit, maybe I’d add factor number 3: web-based business applications. I would say that Google’s business productivity suite set businesses free to be much more platform agnostic, along with other tools that moved from installed desktop applications to web.
> The real nice thing about Java is everything is statically typed

Optional and generics would like a word...

Edit: OK, since this got a downvote, let me be clearer, with some help from the parent:

You just use Optional<T>, and if you're lucky some of your dependencies BUT NOT ALL OF THEIR TRANSITIVE DEPENDENCIES also use Optional<T> correctly and don't return null, and before you know it you've lost the nice safety and it's a crapshoot whether your Optional<T> will be null.
Let's make clear what you did. You told us to conflate the concepts of "elites" with "jews" — converting a discussion about class into one about race.

That's what a racist does. A racist sees everything in terms of race. You are seeing everything in terms of race, and telling other people to see things in terms of race.

Please do not inject racism into things that don't have anything to do with race.

You probably think that it wasn't you who started this racist fire — that you're just pointing out something Rupert Murdoch secretly believes, but (a) you aren't a mind reader — you are just assuming his thoughts based on your opinion, and (b) you are still adding fuel to the fire of racism.
It's interesting seeing all of the support in this post about MDMA, while methamphetamine has such an ugly stigma associated with it.

Yet folks often don't even realize the "MA" in "MDMA" is in fact, methamphetamine. Meth is just a stimulant, while MDMA is a psychedelic, making you trip. It's weird that the stimulant has such a bad reputation, but not the one that literally will cause you to see and experience things that do not exist, which has that big ole junkie drug meth in it even!

Not defending meth, or any drug for that matter. I'm just pointing out the weird bias we have with things. For some reason meth is an outcask, yet many "acceptable" drugs include meth and people don't even really know that. Take meth to a party and get kicked out or be looked at like a junkie. Take MDMA to a party and you're a hero. Even with drugs, we find a way to create a pecking order

No, is the short answer. Of course self driving continues to be trialled in SF and elsewhere, but my understanding is that the safety data (where available) for example does not consider a wide range of road conditions, and has other statistical limitations when attempting to compare with human drivers.

Certainly there are good reasons why SFFD is not keen on Waymo and Cruise.

Self-driving (and AI in general) has a tendency to go catastrophically wrong for impossible to determine reasons (imagine if each hallucination was a potential traffic accident), in a way that is hard to predict and is essentially open ended in terms of consequence. Humans do very stupid things much much less often than fairly stupid things - no such correlation is offered by AI.
This is art. Think about writing a book, directing a TV show, or putting on a play. What should happen? There should probably be intrigue, emotion, and excitement. Very likely violence and evil. We should explore a broad spectrum of emotion. It's perfectly likely that most of what we explore is negative emotion, because originality is hard and positive emotion is arguably over-explored if you look at art as a whole through all of human history.

But this isn't just some mass-produced movie or family-friendly Broadway production. This is the cutting edge of art. It's supposed to challenge us. So perhaps we'll go beyond merely pretending at violence and do a tiny bit of actual violence. It's plausible, from a participant's perspective, that the creator of the piece intended that.

That's what I imagine the participants are thinking, anyways. They aren't just average folks of the street, after all, they're attendees at a crazy art exhibit. They've got to compete with people who hang themselves up by hooks driven through their skin, people who bite the heads of bats during rock concerts, and people who whip each other bloody in sadist orgies.

I remember at a game trade show, there was an Unity stand. I was really excited by Unity at the time, was in line to ask the representation random questions, and was trying to get my friend excited as well. The representant (I think some head of Sales) took my excitement talking to my friend as impatience and was rude about us "he is busy and us having to wait our time" when we weren't trying to talk to him. We left and never got excited by Unity again. I guess that was a premise of things to come.

I mean… people are killed in and around vehicles more than everything but maybe heart disease (guessing) so… kinda?
I'm the same, I think it's literally because I used pen and paper all day in school and that's just what I'm used to.
Spammers and repost bots are already a huge problem. This will just incentivize them more because they can directly farm money rather than only indirectly by then selling the accounts.
That's fair. Honestly I think the difference I'm thinking about is deindividuation stemming from being in a crowd that is in this situation. I'm still pretty sure I wouldn't shoot but if everyone else was poking with a pen I might also.

I guess my point is that there are a lot of factors in this situation that aren't just individuals making decisions.

Even thinking about the Milgram experiment, though of course that was authority figures telling them what to do, in a crowd I feel like the people who take charge and start some action typically end up being a defacto authority figure.

I don't think you're wrong though that there are DEFINITELY some outliers in this. The blood drinking is weird. The person holding the gun to her head is probably cause for a mental evaluation.

But, overall, I feel like I can't blame some of the more mild cases presented here for their actions.
I think the plan is first robots take our jobs, then UBI. If you gave people free money now we'd be suffering from a lack of workers due to general robot non existence. I'm guessing 2045 maybe?

> Do you even see people playing cricket anywhere in the US

It’s not impossible to find, and exactly where you’d expect: the closer you are to a major population center, and the larger & more internationally-prestigious the nearest university, the more like you are to see it in the wild.

But over most of the US, yeah, you could easily go your whole life and never even see a cricket bat in person, let alone a match being played.

Rugby seems to be a significantly more popular than cricket, though still uncommon, considered over the whole geography of the country.
I get why it sucks, but every day someone resists retraining from a dying or dead occupation is a day they’re not getting experience in a new job. In the case of the coal miners, those jobs were gone. No amount of bargaining would bring them back. The mines aren’t going to re-open. The affected people didn’t get to choose between retraining or keeping their current jobs. They had to choose between learning new marketable skills in a classroom or scrabbling through whatever remaining local jobs they could find.

We’re not there with truck driving yet, but to me it seems inevitable. I wouldn’t consider it as a brand new career worth starting today if my intent were to retire from it.
I'll accept the naive mantle. But is this not a database? A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, typically stored electronically in a computer system.
I don't really have anything to back this up, so take it with a massive gain of salt, but I seem to keep seeing discussion of Teslas hitting bikes (both cyclists and motorcycles). Most of it centers around there being enough doubt about whether Autopilot was being used, or whether the driver was actually monitoring like they should have been, or whether the cyclist "should" have been in the road, etc, as to "count" as being less safe. I can only imagine that there are impassioned interpretations of the data going multiple directions.

A Verge article [0] has some discussion on this with regard to a motorcyclist that follows this pattern, and FortNine also covers this in a characteristically well-made video [1].

There's also the problem of autonomous (electric) cars being too quiet when they first begin moving, but that's easy to solve.

So I'm not entirely sure about their safety being "proven", but that's largely because the problem domain is enormous and the data somewhat open to interpretation. Overall "proved" seems too certain a word as of now, without narrowly defining the scope.

Yep, this is big.

I remember when chatgpt was first released I asked it what someone's personality was and it had something hardcoded that said that I could not identify someone's personality and that it was unethical. But there are ways around it.

For example I have been using it to extrapolate famous people's personalities for a site I am working on. https://9takes.com/blog/famous-enneagram-types
Amazon removing 1984 on people's kindles all the way back in 2009 was a wake-up call. Digital media/content is open to revision in a way that physical media/content is not.

I have swung back around and now buy many physical books/blurays/etc for things I really love or think are important because my faith that companies/govt won't decide I cant have that version anymore is very low.

> Produce value for others, get paid

So if a human is unable to produce value, they don't get (food/education/heathcare/<resource>)? That seems to be the implication. We in developed countries already have some amount of "value risk hedging" (I'm loathe to say "socialism" here), we just disagree endlessly how much is the optimal amount. But we've determined that wards of the state, universal education, and some amount of food support for the poor is the absolute bare minimum for a developed society.

> People, NOT machines, are the ultimate judgers of what is valuable and the ultimate producers of value.

Uhhh we already have software which sifts through resumes to allow/reject candidates, before it gets to any kind of human judge, so we are already gating value assessments.
Avid also just did a deal to go private under a private equity group; I wouldn't say the prognosis is looking good.
FTA's conclusion: "If you are handling thousands of messages a day, a simple database-driven queue might be better than Kafka."

They're not trying to say "thousands of messages a day" is a lot, but rather not. Or at the very least, they're saying that at that scale, it is not significant enough to merit the complexity they were dealing with.

I was a bit annoyed about the OpenVINO reference, because I felt they closed most of the things about myriad-x and the SHAVE arch. And last time I tried OpenVINO on TigerLake I was left with a very thick pile of undebuggable, uninspectable opencl-y stuff, very bad taste in my mouth.

I mean OpenVINO's perf is up there on Intel CPUs and it's a great optimising compiler, I've thrown a lot of weird stuff in there and it didn't crap out with complaints about unsupported layers or unsupported combination of layers. It also has an OK batching story (as opposed to TVM last time I checked...) if you're ready to perform some network surgery.

I also feel it's very bad at reporting errors, and stepping through with gdb is one of the worst experiences... BUT but yeah most of the code is available now.

Now if they could stop moving shit around, and renaming stuff, it'd be great. Hoping they settle on 'OneAPI' for some time.

“Atomic Habits” and Learning to Code: Habit Stacking, Environmental Design
Right. It's still the same amount of houses, and the same amount of people wanting a house, so the price is not going to shift much.
Hello all, I have just posted an article about some concepts in James Clears "Atomic Habits" and how they can be applied to learning to code. I hope you find it useful! Please feel free to connect and hit me up with any feedback, ideas or banter! cheers

https://thecodingapprentice.substack.com/p/atomic-habits-and...
now that you mention it, a big "for entertainment purposes only" banner like they use to have on all the psychic commercials on tv would not be inappropriate. it's incredible that LLMs are being marketed as general purpose assistants with a tiny asterisk, "may contain inaccuracies" like it's a walnut contamination
A common way to do this would be to take a branch with the male pollen-producing parts, and 'dust' the flowers on a female specimen with that. Doesn't seem far-fetched the ancients knew this helped to produce a rich harvest. And- from the article:

"As palm trees can be extremely high, this was a very perilous enterprise. Why did this worker even attempt this in a deserted garden will remain a mystery."

One possibility: some plants can be quite selective on when / under what conditions pollination is most likely to succeed.

Probably because fruit (+ seeds) follows, and a plant 'wants' those seeds to be distributed at the right time to maximize chance of offspring success.

Again: maybe such conditions were known, and gardener climbed the tree when the time was right. Which happened to be when no-one else was around.

Of course that's just 1 theory. Maybe gardener just didn't perceive it as dangerous.
Depends. What's the goal? Get the PR merge as quick as possible to keep momentum going on a project or nit pick over details that are "just like your opinion, man" and try for the never ending quest of perfect code.
Yeah the edited version is correct; it matches up each group of eight "x" values with one "A" matrix (such that, in the bitwise representation of the arguments, there's no data transfer happening across 64-bit blocks; this ends up quite limiting if you want different matrices, so most of the uses are ones where the matrix is the same for all elements).
Aha. It looks like BWB changed the schema on their customer record DB so the front-end pre-payment page is looking for the phone number field somewhere other than where my record(s) stores it. You can go to the account page and see some weirdness with the address records. Some views of the same record show a phone number, others don't. I was able to fix it by deleting my existing address and adding it again (address records contain phone numbers (or maybe that's what they were changing?)). But delete the address record, add it back and select "default shipping" and/or "default billing" and you should be able to complete the front-end order creation process.

Or maybe your record isn't borked like mine is.

So far it doesn't seem like I was double-billed or anything, but I trust the BWB guys to resolve that if it does happen. But fulfillment might be borked, so let's see what happens when their back-end fulfillment systems try to make sense of this order. But, again, I trust them to fix problems if they arise. This is the first complaint I've had w/ them in over three years of being a customer.
Selective censoring, double-standard policies, no path for redress, mob rule and groupthink, moderator abuse, opaque CoCs, etc.
