That could definitely be it. I didn’t get a clear view of the driver’s seat, so I don’t know whether or not the driver was manually controlling it.

I personally saw a Waymo in NYC on June 26th at 14th St and 8th Avenue, so they’ve done some recent testing at least.

This exists in clang for C++ as the statement attribute [[clang::musttail]] and in gcc as [[gnu::musttail]]

Wow, it seems like this might beat out flite for very-low-memory TTS? I ended up abandoning a project of mine because I couldn't get high enough quality or low enough memory usage …

The part that confuses me is that they use “it” to name a variable that is not actually an iterator. That’s very bad style. I would name it “s”.

This is awesome. Congrats on shipping! The nearest thing that I've heard of is Wolfram Alpha's step-by-step solution solvers, but the worry with those is always that it's too easy …

It's a question of "value created" vs "value captured". They captured about as much value as the risk-free rate of return. Value that is created but not captured (e.g. the value of…

He is prolific! Thank you for sharing your site as well :)

It seems like this cell barely evolves, because the system they built for duplicating the DNA makes very few errors. Natural life tends to evolve, which may have consequences for p…

This is the first that I'm hearing about this, but I don't think that your telling is quite right. The Dallas school district is "Dallas ISD", not Dallas County Schools. Dallas Cou…

Done. That was quite interesting, although I see what you mean. I did skip over some of the sections about how to teach concept maps to elementary school students and some of the e…

> which TBH is so dry I'm not sure anyone I've recommended it to has actually finished it :) Challenge accepted!

That is cool, although it took me awhile to understand it because the posterior probability is on the left and the prior probability is on the right, and because it uses D=Disease …

Since PCA maps are fun to look at, here’s one for modern-day populations: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1n8xjl6/genome_anc...

This made me smile because I did exactly the same thing (i.e. I also read Anna Karenina in 7th grade, and was very pretentious). I mostly read during lunch periods when it probably…

I just skimmed the summary but in the results section it reports three significant results and two after “multiple-test correction”. I’m not sure how they did that correction; I wo…

I typically do the same algorithm for each solution, but I do try to write it in an idiomatic way to each language. I usually look at the editorial after the first solve to see if …

Good question. I chose them because they are the languages that I use professionally and would choose for technical interviews. I expect to be asked to solve problems in either lan…

I think that it helps a lot to have a daily practice of using a language for small things. In much that same way that many people do the daily wordle or crossword, I do the daily l…
