Indeed.

Look at all the shit Yahoo kept adding while Google focused on doing one thing well. Functionality beats Form.

WTF!!!

Outside the academic ivory tower in the real world we write programs to run on REAL hardware today -- not some imaginary future computer that has zero latency.

Hell, it was just a six years ago that Bjarne Stroustrup was so far out-of-touch with modern hardware and its L1 cache that he was surprised to learn that doubly linked lists give shitty cache usage.

Is you'd done some research, you'd have found this... "Here is the first Fully Electric-Powered Airplane that is in mass production now and available to buy. It has a price tag lower than Tesla Model S (P100D) and 10x cheaper to run than its gasoline equivalent." https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

And of course there's this great rant from 2015: The Website Obesity Crisis (Video). Money quote: "If current trends continue, it is very likely that by 2020 articles about web bloat are going to be 5MB in size or bigger."

I hear what you're talking about but I'm speaking from experience. Sometimes the technological path you've traveled down is fundamentally wrong conceptually. Consider polygonal modelling vs nurbs. I've been working on something that radically conceptually breaks with the idea of modelling as we know it completely but it takes time for these ideas to be researched and fleshed out - it's non trivial - aka time consuming. I agree that things can be made easier, the problem is whether or not we are even aware of what mistakes we've actually made, aka we're too stupid at something to fully grasp how stupid we are at said thing.

I'll give you this bit from Neil degrass Tyson:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Fuck no. No conspiracies required, right in your fucking face activism. Not happy, tell them to fuck off. Your political representative not representing you, drop them a line telling them you will campaign against them at the next election. A corporation fucking with your democracy, well, fuck with their marketing caimpagns, forums and reviews. Talk politics with your friends and neighbours, it is a corporate PR=B$ lie that it is bad to discuss politics, don't discuss politics and it can kill you and yours, straight up. The more you ignore your government the worse it will get, so pay attention, discuss it, become politically active, it can save your life and the lives of those around you.

Only evil hides in shadow, man up and loudly and clearly tell them to fuck off with their insatiable psychopathic greed and drive the corruption politicians from office. Look what they did in the past https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., to let you piss their courage away. They demonstrated their bravery and many were murdered by their own government at the behest of the psychopathic business executives of the day. Look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and you suckers are still falling for the same shite to this day. No unions in the US and workers will be fucked and to start them up again many workers will die, take action before having to do it the hard way again. Right in their fucking face action, right in their face union organising, right in their face selecting and supporting new candidates in the primaries, right in the face writing of new laws and let them see you when you force their arrest and prosecution for all their corrupt actions.

No conspiracies, be a public minded citizen by ensuring political leaders are no longer elected, only political representatives are allowed, the electorate leads the fucking politicians follow, no go damned Boss Hog https://www.youtube.com/watch?..., foolish empty headed Americans turned a sitcom into reality.

how do you even know where to begin learning about any subject?

• By having enough to eat/a place to stay such that your immediate survival isn't in question. Learning is hard if you're starving.
• By putting down the distraction rectangle(TFA above is a good example)
• opening the door to your office/desk/work environment, and being open to how other people might be interested in what you can do for them in that area
• By desiring to know about the subject, and making a map of the terms involved that you don't know or suspect are being used as terms of art.
• By finding other people interested in learning about it(Hackerspaces are a great place to do this), and engaging with them with the explicit reason of learning about the topic. Finding or building media that allow you to coordinate this task. Bonus points if you can find people to *teach*.
• By being humble about what you know and don't, and expecting your initial expectations to be incorrect(especially for softer fields like Economics/Political Economy). And especially: publish your results in a way that other people can replicate.
• By collecting relevant data, seeking out sources on relevant data, and if they aren't easily accessible trying to reproduce them yourself while being careful to keep track of what you are doing to obtain said data, what that data is, forming hypotheses and testing them.
• Try to think of a project you can do that relates to your topic of interest, and try to do it.

It doesn't matter if your adviser is Deepak Chopra, if you follow where the data tells you to go and are careful enough. I've helped people from the age of 4 to 80+ learn topics from algebra to video game development and there is no reason why lectures are particularly better suited for learning, or should be exclusively sought after, though they can be the cheaper option (especially in well-beaten paths like intro-to-programming or intro-to-stats).

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Or perhaps you'd like some government deciding that because you've streamed some song or other—hm, I dunno, how about this one?—one too many times that you should be on a watchlist.

There's a Rick Astley watchlist?

> It's simple compassion.

Are you really THAT fucking stupid that you can't tell the difference between a living animal and dumb machine that was PROGRAMMED to be manipulative based on mimicking a human's voice???

It's a fucking machine. Nothing more.

> Compassion has nothing to do with reality

Yeah, it is called intelligence.

When I watch an artificial reality, called a movie, and laugh when the "evil" antagonists murder the idiot protagonist that does NOT mean I lack compassion. Au contraire it means I am able to separate reality from fiction. As Mel Brooks famously said

Tragedy is what happens to me,
comedy is what happens to you;
-- Mel Brooks

Finding pleasure in the suffering of others in a virtual setting is comedy. Outside the artificial reality, aka, Real Life (TM) this would be borderline sadism. Actual adults are smart enough to know the difference between the two.

The fucking robot is NOT alive. It is just a dumb machine. The fact that you think "having compassion" for a glorified toaster makes me question your sanity. There is a time to be humane. Making some bullshit "compassion" argument over a robot is idiotic.

> But you cannot control compassion. Not possible. That's why movies work, even cartoons.

You sure as hell can manipulate people's emotions. WHY did they use a HUMAN's VOICE in the first place???

There is a reason TV shows use a Laugh Track and why movies have an orchestra score in order to manipulate people's feelings. Here, watch The Big Bang Theory - No Laugh Track 1 (Avoiding the Shamy) and you can see how a crap show is manipulated to appear funny.

You sure as hell can manipulate people into feeling that killing some "digital pixels" is "real".

i.e. Take one of the virtual genocide games, aka, First-Person-Shooter games. Now have one of the enemies be a kid, with a gun, shooting at you, and when you aim at them they say "Don't kill me mommy/daddy!".

Now tabulate who is dumb enough to think that "killing" some "digital pixels" is "real" and compare / contrast with the people who DON'T feel compassion. They are NOT ALL sociopaths -- some are actually smart enough to know WHEN to apply their emotions and when NOT to.

This experiment of the robot is no different.

Neither of those possibilities appeals to me very much.

People hesitate when confronted with sudden stimuli? My gosh, alert the news.

For the same reason half of slashdot loves frauds like Musk and Trump.

You just called a billionaire and the President "frauds", when both are, by any objective measure, extremely successful.

Here: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

If GM took EVs seriously starting when they produced EV-1 and kept going until now, there would be no need for a Tesla. The fact that GM discarded any lead they might have had is more meaningful than how many internal combustion cars they can make.

It seem you watched "Who killed the electric car". But I don't agree.

Most of the statement is that EV-1 owner loved they car. Truth is, the car is is a huge pile of crap that wouldn't have been successful to anyone beside EV enthusiast : https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

he's building (and selling) 5000 3's, 1000 S's and 1000 X's vehicles per week.at 20% margin(someone extrapolated a 30% margin on 3's see https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ), for those 45000/100000/120000$ vehciles that would mean a total margin of 89 million$ per week, 4,6 billion per year margin. I believe Bernie would be envious about that.

It reminds me of the big kerfuffle when they decided to require that military officers get a liberal arts education; one of the big complaints was that learning algebra was obviously of no utility to officers because they aren't the ones aiming the artillery. Another was that it was stupid to make them learn history, because why should they need to learn about epaulets on ancient uniforms? As if that is history!

In fact, the song "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" from the Pirates of Penzance is intending to be ageist, as it might seem without understanding of the politics, but instead was intending to ridicule their image of an educated officer!

If you're experiencing lane departure warnings then you're a bad driver. If you're experiencing lane departure warnings and you don't know what they're for, then you're an accident waiting to happen.

So, if you are driving on an empty road, no cars to be seen, and you change lanes without signalling and without recognizing the reason your wheel is vibrating, 2 times over two months, you are an accident waiting open. . . Ok, I think I am getting an image of you when you cross the street.

However, what I think you are actually trying to say is: you are endorsing my Tesla purchase, as it will likely be the first car to get full autonomy and that I am extremely lucky to have survived my first two months of ownership and, now that I know about the haptic feedback, my likelihood of surviving long enough to be saved by Tesla's full autonomous driving functionality has increased significantly. Overall, a very positive future outlook, just like Tesla's. Thanks!

corrosion where aluminum meets steel

You do know that Honda figured out how to solve this problem back in 1991 for the NSX, and Audi followed up in 1994 with the A8, right? You use passivated fasteners, which oddly enough are not actually significantly more expensive than any other coated fastener used in automotive applications — even when purchased from Audi. I know, because I have a 1998 A8 Quattro, and have done fairly extensive work on it. There is no corrosion visible anywhere on the vehicle, beyond non-cancerous surface rust on the ferrous spindles. (Facelifted vehicles, 2001+, have Aluminum spindles to reduce front weight.) You can also use zinc anti-seize compound; the zinc is consumed first, and protects the other metals.

see also Chevy's YouTube video showing how easy it is to puncture a new Ford pickup bed

See also any Chevy truck, which has a shitload of corrosion on it. I'd rather just not deliberately do a bunch of unrealistic drop tests and then show only a subset of them.

aluminum is more difficult to weld, it is weaker than steel so there's more engineering required, etc

Aluminum is not weaker than steel; gram for gram, it is stronger. Further, it is easier to stamp than steel, so it's actually cheaper to work because your tooling lasts longer. Finally, it is dramatically more recyclable than steel. Every time you recycle steel it gets harder. You can mitigate this by adding in the things that are lost in the process (like carbon) but that both costs money and does not in fact restore the material to its original condition. This is part of why the Japanese ate our lunch so badly in the 1980s, besides of course American automakers really just not even trying for some reason. The harder steel could be stamped into thinner body panels which were just as strong as the virgin mild steel that American cars were made out of. The only drawback is that the milder steel is easier to repair; the advantages are everything else. It's harder to deform in a crash, so it improved crash safety. It's lighter, which improves everything. And it was cheaper, of course.

Aluminum, on the other hand, retains all of the properties of the original alloy when recycled. Achieving this does require careful sorting of alloys, which used to be a big drawback; but now we use laser spectroscopy to sort Aluminum scrap by alloy, and it is fast and cheap.

Your first paragraph was correct. Everything else you said was bullshit because it was false, or bullshit because it was irrelevant.

The concept of learning algorithms was developed in the 60's and Deep Learning was coined in the late 80's. Either had hardly any practical application at the time they where introduced. Fast forward and companies are now poring billions into this kind of technology. Point being nobody cared about most things, before they suddenly became the next big thing.

Making a machine learning network does not require any of these new things. The ones first used in the 1960's were much slower, but just as good at learning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Also, Neural networks (that are not really AI at all) only need to be used for the learning. Once done they can be reduced to only the active logic and constructed as code or hard circuits. But they are useful for detecting logic that no one had recognized before that.

And Trump only won due to a fluke in our electoral system that neither the Russians, nor anyone else, predicted.

It's not a fluke. It's a feature. It's by design. This is a union of states.

Further, many people did predict it. They were laughed at and ridiculed, but they were correct.

I myself thought Trump had no fucking chance. I thought Wolf Blitzer was going to have a short night as Hillary was going to be crowned faster than any other President. Nope! To watch it all slowly unfold, and to watch the news anchors admit to it even more slowly, was bizarre. Imagine being a fly on the wall in Hillary's dugout as it happened. Hell, she couldn't even come out and face her supporters to concede (not that I would have expected her to have a speech ready). She sent her lackey out to mumble about this going on into the night, so please go home.

I expected Trump's victory speech to mirror Sideshow Bob's - https://www.youtube.com/watch?... .

You're engaging in pedantry.

Nothing pedantic about remedial civics. Again, states have to worry about immigration as much as the FBI needs to worry about pet shit on city streets.

All you've proved is that you can make a non-sequitur while linking to propaganda videos from friends-of-Democrats. *golf clap*

It's the opposite of a non sequitur - Ice Is will happily take note of undocumented school board officials et all and will arrest their asses. I'm starting to sense a pattern with you.

You haven't addressed that Democrats show no inclination of enforcing immigration laws -- quite the opposite.

What part of "Obama deported more immigrants than all previous presidents combined" are you having a hard time understanding? You're engaging in the same willful denial of reality as Obamabots who think the main was sainted before birth - you guys hang out for coffee?

False.

True. You do know that Snopes is a much of a partisan hack outfit for Democrats as Fox News is for Republicans, yes?

Obama and Clinton used to be against gay marriage, too. A lot has changed in 10 years.

Nothing changed. Obama, the first black president, had a full "states rights" position on another minority - after spending years chumming it up with Rick "kill all the gays in Uganda" Warren. Hillary was publicly against gay marriage right up until SCOTUS made the point moot. All of the gains in gay rights at the federal level have come from the courts, in spite of Democrats.

What's left for them? Transgender bathroom "rights"? "Islamophobia"? Pedophiles? They've ditched the American worker, and the only sustainable base they have left is immigrants, who reliably vote Democrat.

No one stabs their base in the backs more viciously than the Democratic Party. Openly fearmongering over the possibility of Tump being president while ignoring the fact that Obama deported millions of people.

Remind me again how that was supposed to be a one-time thing, in exchange for fixing the border?

Border wall plus a brutal deportation system - what more did Democrats have to give you?
