I didn't find it nauseating, it's an interesting tale, but I'll agree that it didn't make any profound influence on me beyond any other fiction book that I've read. Perhaps reading it as an eBook on my phone, means

Agreed, Musk was initially just trying to create/enlarge a market to bring forward the switch to pure electric cars.

I just finished reading the book "human universals" which mentions that we're neither in a full democracy nor a full autocracy, so we're in a de facto oligarchy. So where as I've often sneered at Russia for it'

They won't be able to sell the bikes if the price is that much higher. The 'unnecessary' tech is designed to lower the very high death rate of motorcyclists. It will indeed make the bike more complex, but if you don't wa

The point of this motorcycle is to take over if it spots a potential crash scenario. This kind of passive system is the perfect kind of system for cars as well as motorcycles. Self-driving systems are great for alertness/response time,

Crash is a better term than accident [0]. > the “one party is going straight and the other is turning left at a four way” accident A self-driving motorcycle would solve that problem, because where as a motorcyclists vision is significant

Near the end of the video they explain. It's not meant to be a fully autonomous motorcycle. It's a passive system so that the motorcycle can take over if it needs to.

HHVM can be more experimental than PHP so there's still potential that new features in HHVM get considered and merged into PHP, kind of like Fedora/Redhat or Neovim/Vim

How do people find the balance between Agile (working software over documentation) vs enough documentation that you don't have to ask around your team every time you need a config change?

Excellent, digging down into that leads to this Reddit post [0] > One thing they noticed was that using features from a pretrained ImageNet VGG-16/19 CNN from 2014 (4 years ago), like the original Gatys paper did, worked much better

Indeed Panini world cup stickers too. You can't trade the results of the loot boxes though.

Very interesting. For my curiosity I did some searching on VGG vs ResNet. * ResNets were better at feature extraction for image clustering [0] * One of the trade-offs of ResNets seems to be their relative complexity to VGG [1] * It surprise

One of Tesla's PR angles is that they are anti-establishment and different from the corporate automobile industry. So Musk smoking weed plays into that well. Controversy is not always a bad thing, even when your company has problems.

ripgrep is simply phenomenal. The rest of my team are stuck using IDEs where they can only look at one project at a time, where as I can structure them as I want and rg over them all.

You can use ripgrep with Ack. We'll at least you can with Vim [0], so I assume it works outside Vim too. [0]: https://github.com/mileszs/ack.vim

Reason calls itself Javascript 2030. That's not a completely unreasonable time line for ML languages to go from the small percentage that they have now to being in the top say 5-10 languages used. React has made the probability much hi

He's telling the OP to go and read up on various books with the implication that they haven't read anything on the topic. Where as from the twitter thread they clearly have read books on the topics mentioned (IBM and punch cards).

I'm aware of who Animats is but the OP is also a Princeton Professor of CS. Given that Animats has so much reputation on here, I'd hope he would be more likely to be civil and uphold the guidelines.
