I think the real problem here is that you seem to have a zero tolerance policy on bad content: yes, peoples' accounts get hacked... but that sucks for them so much more than for you, and yet you seem concerned that your eyes were forced to see some porn?

And look, I get that we are talking about children as the viewers, not you... but children simply shouldn't be on the Internet browsing random stuff in the first place!! The whitelist can then be all encompassing, as it should be their parents showing them stuff.

Sounds like a security nightmare. Input devices, and especially keyboards, are something that absolutely needs to be wired-only in my book.
That link you posted reads almost criminally negligent.

"There is not enough information available to determine if gasoline causes birth defects or affects reproduction"

My god, spend some time in a remote aboriginal community in the 80s and 90s before OPAL fuel was invented and you would have had all the information you'll ever need.

There's a reason they spent millions developing OPAL, and why regular unleaded gasoline (petrol) is illegal in virtually all aboriginal communities.
It's interesting how computing things - like optimization problems - used to be much more dominant in terms of what people thought about and did with computers. It feels like most of the time we are just doing data storage and retrieval combined with networking... some computations are embedded within those things, but usually well encapsulated.

Okay, let’s be concrete. What’s the “culture” of say Mexican Americans, and how would those differences make a team of Chinese software developers more effective?

Once you actually unpack this diversity idea it unravels. You can’t have it both ways. If you posit that people are basically the same regardless of identity group, then your notion of “diversity” being anything other than neutral makes no sense. But if you posit that people’s group membership makes them substantively different, then you’re inviting analysis of whether those differences are good ones or bad ones.
Not so sure about that, mixing engineers have to do very precise manipulation of sound and there’s plenty of them working well into their 40ies and beyond. While of course aspects of your hearing deteriorate, it should still be pretty simple to pick out the artefacts of compressed audio if you’ve gotten attuned to them at a younger age… At least for heavier compression, something like a 320kbps MP3 or 256 AAC is hard to distinguish from lossless but that’s also true for young folks.
Rags are used for cleaning, and this gives you a cleaner interface into your data :-)
Sure, but, we're responding to someone in Calgary describing an overloaded electrical system in a relatively poor province, exceeding capacity during the coldest weeks of the year, as gas pumps freeze. Today.

On a long enough timeline, setting aside money, sure, we can add:

- add a backup battery to each house

- add charging infrastructure to each house

- build more power generation (nuclear or green)

I don't think that's in dispute, and I'm not sure what to call it. Not off-topic, but...just sort of ramming forward describing something obvious, but as if it addresses something topical.
Yeah all they need is a blueprint and the logistics bots will take care of the rest
> what if we built say ten parallel railways 10 ft apart and moved cargo ships over the rails?

Interesting concept. Never thought of it before.

The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) has a similar issue. Containers will be offloaded in UAE, then travel via rail through Saudi Arabia and Israel, and then reloaded on to ships in the Mediterranean for a short trip to Greece.

Your idea is much more interesting.
It isn’t pointless, researchers have finite time and attention, the point of peer review is to keep out the really bad papers so that they don’t waste their time on them.

Very cool! One tip: Take the execute segment and produce fast bytecodes instead of interpreting each instruction as a bit pattern. Producing faster bytecodes is something that even WASM emulators do, despite it being a bytecode format.

The switch to heat pumps will be glacially slow. I’ve had a look at doing it on my property and my mums and gave up due to the need to change the pipes and radiators. I suspect only new-builds will go that route for a long time.
I love that this exists but I worry how it uses the term “train”, even in quotes, as I spend a lot of time explaining how RAG works and I try to emphasize that there is no training/fine-tuning involved. Just data preparation, chunking and vectorization as needed.

Better managed is not necessarily more expensive in the long run, specially when tanking into account secondary benefits such as improved economy because companies that care about stable grids build factories there. But yes, short term it is more expensive.

Both Q10 and Q11 are good. I have one of each in their respective uses.

Q11 may possibly be even better for someone prone to RSI, because you can set the halves up angled even wider apart. Just make sure to get a good wrist support to go with the keyboards, no matter which you go with: they are thick, and that makes them positionally elevated from the surface they are on.

With two more things they would be pretty much perfect. An embedded USB port on both sides, so you could slot a YubiKey nano on your chosen edge. And a double-sized Esc-key. The latter is the single thing I miss from Kinesis Freestyle's form factor.

Missed the market by so much, they are pulling the A380s out of storage.

The A350 _is_ the perfect competitor. The two planes are, by their design, not competing in the same segments.

So he's trying to increase his greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible?

Plastic waste is carbon that isn't going into the atmosphere, not very fast at least. Turning it back into oil and then burning that is the very opposite of what we should be doing with it.
It's been explained multiple times in this thread.

tl;dr: the "observation" is made-up and false.
> I believe quality is intrinsic to the product.

You are switching definition: in this discussion, people have defined "quality" in one way, which is not relevant for the academic sector. Then you arrive with a different definition of quality to pretend that what they say is correct.

If you define "quality" as something intrinsic to the product, then the "good practice to do quality work" are not good to do quality work, because these practice leas to shit software (as illustrated again and again by plenty of people working in the academic sector or working close to them, like the author of the article here).

That's the problem in this discussion: "quality is good", "this practice is good for quality because in context X, the important attributes of quality are A and B", "therefore this practice is good in context Y even if the important attributes of quality are C and D".

I'm saying "what you call quality is A and B, and in science, quality is not A and B".

> This makes me think of an analogy ...

I agree with your analogy, but the person who know the O-ring is THE SCIENTIST. The software developers, and the "good practice rules" that they are applying, don't know anything about O-ring, they don't know how to install kitchen sink. Software developers don't know how to build scientific software, they don't even understand that scientific software have different needs and need different "good practice" than the ones they have learn for their specific job, which is a strongly different context.

It's like saying: a good practice in veterinarian is to give product X to the sick dog, so, we should follow the veterinarians good practice when we do medicine to humans, because veterinarians are doing products that help living things feel better, so it's the same right?

Your example with Gall's law is pretty clear: YOU DON'T WANT A SOFTWARE THAT LAST 5 YEARS IN RESEARCH. You NEED, and really need, a software that explore something that has a very big chance to lead to "no, it was incorrect", and that if it leads to "yes, it's correct", will be destroyed after the paper publication (because the publication contains the logic, so anyone can rebuild the implementation in a way that satisfy Gall's law if they want). Gall's law is totally correct, but they are not talking about "research software", they are talking about a different object, and the scientists are not building such object.

And yet objective studies of things like quality of life [1], access to medicare [2], and other metrics, always seem completely at odds with claims like yours.

Sensing tech has to improve to get through the noise. As far as I'm aware, you can't see a yellow line or white line on a highway if it's covered in dirty snow.

We could also rework our roadways to include better sensing design and tech (passive or active!), but we are a ways out still from willingness to pay for that.
The article suggests that the fuel is made completely on site (on the roof of the vehicle) from discarded plastic chips from a neighbor's business. But some numbers do not add up.

> Making 1 liter of diesel requires burning 1 kg of plastic, which results in 2-2.7 kg of carbon emissions.

Does that number (1 kg) include the plastic consumed in the burning process, whose heat is then used to define (opposite of refine) the plastic back to liquid? How does 1 kg of plastic contain 2 kg of carbon? Or is the O2 in CO2 so heavy that "carbon emissions" weigh significantly more than the source hydrocarbon?

> Second, there is the combustion of diesel fuel while driving, which emits 2.7 kg of carbon dioxide per liter.

Same question.

I’m curious what you’re talking about—WASM has different instructions for each of its different types. There are separate instructions for i32, i64, f32, and f64 in the base spec.

This seems like a pretty clean map to me—most of the architectures these days have native support for 32-bit and 64-bit types these days. You only get 16-bit and 8-bit support with SIMD or load/store, much like how WASM does it.

People act on their political views by voting -- the decided on political views through what they hear and read. We agree that as long as people keep their views to themselves we don't care what views they hold. And we obviously agree that harassment is bad, lynching is bad, sexual harassment is bad. These continued straw men don't really add anything here.

> E.g. we had LGBT protest.

In the same city where you were? Did you personally see this protest? What do the LGBT protesters want? And there were counter-protesters? What do the counter-protesters want?

Anyway, you've provided all these weird small examples but I don't really get the point. If you feel personally aggrieved by how society reacts to your views, I'm sorry too bad. Society is free to react negatively or positively! Complaining that people who really don't like terrible ideas should keep that to themselves isn't very convincing to me.

If you take all the harassment away, which with both agree is bad, then it's just two groups of people expressing their opinions. If university administrators are convinced to change their minds because of protests then that just means the protest worked. We both agree that protests are good and protests exist to achieve a goal. Not all protests are good and not all goals are good for society but that doesn't matter.
I would love to see Perfect Dark framerate issues fixed and played on the original hardware.
It would also help to make it expensive to maintain/own vehicles over certain wait. California charges weight fees, but only for pickups, no car or SUV gets that weight fees.
I've only familiar with the Hyundai Ioniq and the Chevy Bolt, but both those cars can be configured for that - the Chevy Bolt you only have to ensure it is not in one-pedal driving, which is just a button near the shifter, and the Hyundai Ioniq you just have to set the regen to zero. It's a failure of the rental place that these electric vehicles are not set up in such a way to match the mental model of a usual driver

The Chevy Bolt has it's brake lights come on automatically regardless of what is causing the deceleration, and I believe Hyundai is coming out with an OTA fix for that as well.

When you drive the electric car every day, it's nice using the one-pedal mode... Except it has taught me a large flaw in that my instant braking reaction is to depress the regen paddle, which doesn't work (only 10kW of effort) when the car batteries are well below -20 C, causing me to panic and brake too hard using the traditional hydraulic brakes.
But then pressure (force) on each tire is lower now, so the friction is also lower.

Effective friction is a function of weight and coefficient of friction between the materials. Interestingly the surface area of the contact is not part of the equation.

On a flat surface a truck and a car using the same tire compound should have identical stopping distances. The issue comes when you are going downhill.

> Winmodem.

Memories! An old job bulk-bought a ton of cheap "home" PCs (Compaq Presario) to use as Citrix desktop clients; the included modem was a winmodem. We discovered the CPU in the PCs couldn't reliably run the Citrix software and maintain a modem connection at the same time. We ended up having to buy external modems (and later network cards) for all the presarios.

Thankfully we learned from the experience and stuck purchasing from the "business" product lines after that.

I mean, apart from the hacker mindset of the thing, if you’re talking about the _outcome_: there is real value in being able to distribute something to a customer without having to worry about whether they have the dependencies or not, what version of an OS they have, whether they are running on ephemeral VMs or long running machines they don’t want to pollute etc etc.

At Google Cloud we did this on a team I was on. It was really the only way we could be sure of the environment we were handing off to the customer.
The article assumes that the reason autonomous trucks haven't happened yet is that it's harder. I think the real reason is probably simply that #1 it's less glamorous for investors and #2 most of the companies producing trucks are probably not great at doing anything with software. So, the investment levels and effort that has gone into autonomous trucks so far just isn't at the same level and the companies that have gotten the furthest with autonomous driving just haven't focused much on trucks so far. Not because it's harder but because cars are hard enough, more lucrative, and they want to focus on those first. That could change. Once they nail cars, trucks are an obvious next target.

There are a few other possible reasons; such as electrical trucks still lagging a bit behind electrical cars in terms of volume production and a few other things. Electrical trucks are a lot easier to drive for humans because they don't have a lot of complicated gears, hydraulics, and other things to worry about. That makes them easier to control autonomously as well.

Other than being bigger, the job of autonomously controlling a big truck isn't that different from that of controlling a car. If you can do one, you should be able to do the other. Ballpark it's the same kind of problem. Same roads, obstacles, problems, traffic situations, challenges, etc. Same everything, basically. I don't think the speed or the size of the vehicles is that much of a factor for how hard this is to do.

As for safety, the barrier is actually pretty low. There os a high number of accidents that involve truck drivers asleep or unfocused behind the wheel because they've been driving for way too long. Or getting distracted by their phones. Happens more in the US than in Europe because some differences in rules related to mandatory breaks. But it happens on both sides and it's a bit of a challenge.

We're measuring with very different standards for humans and autonomous vehicles. With autonomous driving it's all about hypothetical things that may or may not go wrong and therefore we should wait until it's so perfect that it can never happen, 100% guaranteed. With human drivers, it's just an endless stream of never ending accidents, fatalities, and misery where we just go "ah well, that's just life". Never mind all the obvious issues with aging truck drivers that are severely out of shape due to life style issues associated with trucking after they've been on the road for ten hours. This attitude is more than a little bit irrational.
