I planned on retiring in 1998 when my wife and I moved from San Diego to the mountains of Central Arizona. I had some ‘getting bored’ issues and had some concern that our savings wouldn’t last forty+ years so I started periodic remote consulting gigs. In the last six years, I increased the amount of work I did, going to Google in Mountain View, doing an on site gig in Singapore, and lastly temporarily moving to Illinois to manage a deep learning team.

I had meant to start a small one person company when my wife and I returned home to Sedona, but my heart is not in it. So, I have been retired for six months and I am enjoying it immensely, no ‘getting bored.’

The very wealthy don't have liquid and easily-appraised assets. Calculating the total wealth of someone who owns art, jewelry, real-estate, historical artifacts, animals, and fractions of many international businesses is impossible.

The idea that the wealthy can just print off a report from their TDAmeritrade account and turn it into the government is laughable. Even they don't have any real idea how much wealth they have.
Sorry, but it's probably been about 20 years since I read it (and most of his other work). So I couldn't give you any kind of detailed critique on it, except to say that it didn't leave much an impression on me, unlike top picks or honorable mentions.
Take one thing and put into another. At the end the start is gone. That's us. The human beings. I prefer to die as a one of the human beings.
I don't think it's that psychology books in general don't sell well. The nonfiction bestsellers list always has a lot of psychology books in it†! But when it was "POET," it got shelved in the psychology section of bookstores. So, if you went into a bookstore looking for help coping with your childhood traumas or marriage problem, you might run across this book about how industrial products and software were badly designed, and how to design them better, using new findings from cognitive psychology. But if you went into the bookstore to learn about how to design industrial products or software, you'd end up in the "design" or "software" section, so you wouldn't find it.

† Right now Amazon's nonfiction bestseller list https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Kindle-Store-Nonfiction/... has "The Psychopath" at #1, "Mindset" at #2, "Master Your Emotions" at #18, "The 7 Habits" at #21, "Girl, Stop Apologizing" at #28, "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" at #31, "The Declutter Challenge" at #34, and "Thinking, Fast and Slow" at #50, plus a number of gray-area books; the New York Times has "Think Again" at #11. I think it's fair to say that psychology books sell a buttload.
> I wonder if any fighting games have thought to train a neural network per player to try and predict the player's actions N frames ahead.

The entire point of playing a fighting game is to attempt to solve this problem. A good player, by necessity, can't be accurately predicted; if they could, they'd be a bad player.
I find it funny that in every post that denounces the energy use of bitcoin, which is one of its apparent weakness and strength at the same time, there are what I'd call "apologists" who come in and give other reasonings to support bitcoin, ignoring facts that go against it.

Let's be honest with each other:

- The reason why bitcoin is revolutionary is because it opens up a way to do transactions on a ledger between millions of people without a central authority. Even if you say owning 51% of the network means you are the central authority, you have to keep pushing those resources forever, basically impossible to happen in a "struggle" situation.

- The reason that in itself is its weakness is because it relies on computational proof of work, and that means energy. The more people are involved in bitcoins the more energy will be consumed to vie for the possibility of mining out rewards, to the point where the costs doesn't make sense anymore and you have to rethink mining strategy. Any system that proposes a central authority to lessen this energy use burden is just making it weaker, not stronger, if you care about decentralised transaction systems.

That's why it's both a weakness and strength.
The words in "objective truth", and in messaging to "serve an objective" are spelled the same, but have different definitions, and meanings.

Personal experience. A few years ago my prostate enlarged relatively suddenly, to the point of making urination difficult. My doctor had no idea why, but it eventually dawned on me that I had recently been eating a lot of scrambled eggs, scrambled in a Teflon-coated skillet. I replaced it with a ceramic nonstick skillet, and the problem went away.

If you want absolute proof an anecdote won't satisfy you, but it's plenty of evidence for me. Look at the cost/risk calculation. The cost of a ceramic pan is on the order of $35; the cost of getting cancer is potentially quite large. There doesn't have to be a very large probability that Teflon causes cancer before it's not worth taking the chance.
Exactly, so it's not isomorphic. An isomorphic application wouldn't depend on its inverse to work.
Embark makes some of the best transit apps out there [1]. Given their attention to detail on UX, Apple seems like a great fit for them.

Static analysis does not show you the complete picture. I have worked on countless horrifically complex, buggy and unmanageable J2EE applications that had perfect cyclomatic complexity et al scores. I have also written perfectly reviewed, manageable and well tested piece of code that didn't.

I very much question the experience of anyone who can refer to a codebase as "spaghetti code" without seeing it and relying solely on static analysis. Software is not that simple or transparent.
I'm not sure that is true, my math degree has been helpful in getting jobs. The math I specialized in (abstract algebra) was pretty irrelevant to any job I've ever been hired to do.

Related, I'm not sure what degree "product managers" are supposed to have. Every product manager I've worked with has had a very different educational background. Philosophy degree, MBA, art history degree, "American Studies," sociology degree, etc.
> especially love how the peeps behind WP7 ...

I stopped right there. He's obviously too hipster for me.
WP7 UI/UX looks very good. I don't think UI is the strongest strength in Nokia phones so I don't know how they can improve on that... Probably better integration with OVI apps/maps ? Or they can make it worse to be more Nokia-like?

Google Voice and this extension are practically the same.
However, GV is only available in the US, therefore the new extension cover a solution for world-wise users (that currently using apps like WhatsApp sms messenger, Texty and others).
So, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 - but I use awesome-wm instead of gnome. Is it worth to upgrade to 11? After reading the comments here it seems like the big thing about 11.04 was the new gnome shell.
If so, it seems that Polya wasn't always as diligently persistent as he advised others to be. There's a famous story about G H Hardy seeing a bear in a zoo: it sniffed at the lock on its cage, hit the lock once with its paw, and then turned away to do something else. "He is like Polya: he has excellent ideas, but he does not carry them out."
Meh... It's really just "recent popular hn articles."
> I'm sure we'll see the Circular Harmonic Transform for rotation invariant (up to a point) Deep Nets

A fairly easy way to introduce rotation invariance in DCNNS is to perform random rotations on the inputs during training. Likewise for scale invariance. Translation invariance is already introduced by the convolution operation itself.

The thing about deep learning, is that transform kernels are learned, not pre-computed as in classical signal processing. A DCNN will learn whatever convolution kernels it needs to perform the task at hand. I wouldn't be surprised if a DCNN trained on a classical signal processing task ended up rediscovering some well-known transform kernels originally derived from physical first principles...
A typical person would rather take $95 with everyone else getting $90 than take $100 with everyone else getting $110. Is this rational or not? From one perspective, yes - from another, no.

These comments are a reaction against the massive increase in inequality that we're experiencing. Sure, most of us are gaining a little 'from progress', but there are only a few who are gaining a lot.

So, the question is: is the inequality 'worth it'? Is 'wealth' absolute, or relative?

Seems like there is a business opportunity to build a plugin of sorts that allows users to opt in and share their search data with competing platforms. I'd be interested in donating my data to help a rival engine compete with Google.

We made this after talking to dozens of non-custodial wallets who told us about the issues they had creating a simple backup of their seed phrase.

While our focus is on helping families recover crypto after the death of a loved one, we thought we could help with self-recovery as well.

Would love to get your thoughts and feedback.

Cheers.
what? your comment?

I think this is more of an issue with S3, not so much with Hugo.

If your backend would be something else, you could use rsync to only move the changed parts, without uploading everything again.
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not saying China is not to be criticized. I just feel like everyone is being quick to jump on them and forgetting about the more tangible and immediate issues, which is their own governments doing the exact same thing.
I’ve found F# to be good in this regard. Can’t claim that it would have the least friction, however.

> But how do they pay their taxes?

Have the employer or pension provider deduct any applicable taxes, and the rest gets paid to the payee. If they do not live in a country where that happens automatically, they could still hire a local accountant.

> Sign up for electricity

Can be done by phone. But if they already have electricity in their home, then even that is not necessary.

> or a mobile phone?

This can still be done in store. In some countries, in-store is still the only way.

An online account may make some of these basic necessities cheaper and more convenient to access, but it is not the only option.
The example of their Blockchain town seems either silly or over my head. I’m willing to admit it could be the latter but I don’t see it.
I agree. At the same time I'm torn by the idea of private companies being there own sovereign entities like a city or county. But at the same time, honestly, are city councils and county commissions any more moral than private companies?

I think my biggest hang up is the draft proposal that allows the formation of the defacto county commissioners to be chosen by the companies. But like the article says, the draft could change, so the final proposal might not be the same.
I think if they were elected from citizens I'd be a lot more excited.
Please update your browser - sitting on old versions is just asking for trouble. If you really want to maintain a consistent interface then use the ESR releases which should basically just be security updates.
So, basically this is allowing corporations to set up "company towns" in Nevada? Does this make sense?
Hey all! This is something we've been working on for a while now. It's the future of native cloud storage on macOS.
I run ExpanDrive (www.expandrive.com). We use a derivative of macFUSE (https://osxfuse.github.io/) on macOS.

Third party kernel extensions on macOS are on the way out.
On M1 machines any third party kernel extension requires a reboot into recovery mode, lowering the security settings, and then finishing the install.

This is a terrible and unfriendly model for users (by design). This is the primary reason these Google/Box/etc aren’t shipping M1 versions of their software.

But that’s okay, they’ve got something better they’re working on. Just keeping it a little quiet right now since it’s not 100% done.

The replacement for apps like Google & Box Drive (and everyone else) is their new File Provider framework (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/fileprovider), which they quietly launched but didn’t publicize at all. It’s basically a technology that enables something like Dropbox Smart Sync (project infinite) built directly into macOS fully managed by APFS.

It’s a pretty big departure from the macFUSE style interfaces we've been using for years now. File Provider apps are userspace extensions that work with with placeholder files and on-demand hydration of remote files by the system via APFS. It’s a pretty cool framework, but pretty new (and a little raw).

Box/Google/Dropbox/Microsoft will all eventually be using it, but the rollout has been slow.

The whole macOS File Provider project is an off-shoot of the iCloud drive and iOS file provider projects, but with one key component they’ve added called the replicated extension that has an apple-blessed extension to APFS called “FPFS” (presumably file provider FS) that can intercept read/writes/etc to these on-disk placeholder files and download content (and thumbnails!) on demand. Provides data directly to spotlight indexes, etc.

Whereas FUSE is a really low level API exported into a safer user-space process, this is a little higher level. You give the file provider framework lists of directories, help it monitor changes, provide item info and then it will in turn issue callbacks into your extension to initiate downloads to a temporary location.

Benefits

1. All on demand, driven by placeholders. “regular” sync downloads contents ahead of time, this is not the case with file providers. It’s more like network filesystems in this regard

2. Doesn’t eat up free space. Providers can mark their content as “evictable” which lets APFS know it can toss out the data if space gets low. But what I think is extra interesting is that when you mark the content as evictable it doesn’t even register as being used against free space. You could bring down a 10GB file from the cloud and your free space remains the same

3. Integrated with all the higher level APIs so that applications that open a file with swift/objective C don’t beachball while waiting for a download (for an open) to complete. They appropriate waits and expectations are in there now

4. All sorts of other stuff, happy to keep going
Each of these chat applications have answered the questions you raised in their own way. Since we haven't converged on a single set of standard behaviours in 20+ years, it probably means there isn't a single right answer.
Exactly. Our app renders highly detailed 3D anatomy on the canvas. The largest model is a 1mb json file with 57mb(!!!) Of assets. We've never had a problem with mobile devices, they're shockingly capable.
I still can't figure out how to verify my log in, or make the popups asking me to verify go away.
How do you get your food and other things? I'm genuinely interested. I've lived for periods where I ate out every meal but I still ended up in a store now and then.
If Coates was in the US and paid herself that magnitude of salary she’d be paying a very hefty tax bill as well. Salary (W2 income) is very hard to avoid paying taxes on.

When your income is from equity, dividends, etc, then it becomes much easier to legally avoid taxes on the income.
There's other things you can use for this, such as CloudWatch Alarms.

And where are your code reviews?
I probably should have said discussion instead of understanding, but as someone else said it specifies a total of 60 dependencies (I didn't check their work), if you knew that just saying "1000 line" instead is downright misleading... If you didn't I don't buy buy that you really understood it.
Has anyone senior working at Credit Suisse lost any money here? There's your answer.

(Perhaps in hypothecated future gains in share options - but even there, maybe not.)
>pay your risk guys a bit more so you hire the same calibre of individual that would otherwise end up on the trading/structuring/quant desks.

Reverse the causation here: they don't pay risk guys enough because they don't really care about the risks they are taking.

Because, you're right, if they cared they could solve issues like this tomorrow.
I had some successes moving to kanban project management following github project kanbans. It took me 2 years but management is now starting to come on board. With kanban you can talk priorities (what goes in progress) and future (what goes in "next wave") and budget (how many people we keep on this kanban). The challenge is of course with timelines because while most business timelines are made up, no timelines makes it hard to run a team to ship stuff.
Why does no one focus on the positives? Yeah, there's shit to deal with but there are also lots of good points:

* Ability to assimilate and process information
* Ability to hyperfocus
* Shit loads of empathy (can get a bit out of hand thought!)
* Creativity

There are lots more things that we're better at than non-ADD people, I just can't think of any at the moment! See Lynn Weiss' book for a more comprehensive list.

I think it's important for ADD people to not play the victim; yeah we're different and yeah, society doesn't favour our way of thinking but it's not all bad.
> No byline is a form of slavery

Don’t be ridiculous. This is a feature not a bug. It helps discourage sensationalism and encourage a sober viewpoint that’s not designed to generate Twitter or Instagram followers. I wish more news sources would do this.

With you on the witticisms though
It's still fairly easy to hit problems even when you're using an application level connection pool, simply because it's so damn easy to scale up application nodes.

and I am sure Vietnam is awesome, but is it awesome for building a startup? Numbers say no, otherwise most startups would be in Vietnam, not in SF :)
Maybe if Microsoft gets Kinect sensors into their laptops, this kind of facial recognition will be much harder to fake...
at that stage, patents are probably a waste of time for a startup, wouldn't you say ?
The purpose of our salaries is to keep us alive while we build a great company; what arbitrary number of dollars is required to do that isn't important to me. We have an equal number of shares, because he's an equal partner.

If I take an extra 20k of salary, that's 20k less we can use to hire someone better/smarter. I'd much rather work with smarter people than drive a nicer car. I don't really care for "stuff" anyway.

If you offered to let me stay at this level for the rest of my life and promised I'd always be able to work on something I believed in, I'd take that deal in a heartbeat, even if it's far below market.

To be fair on the heaviness point though, people add weight to their mice for wireless ones in the form of batteries, and for gaming ones actual literal weights. The raspberry pi is only 45 grams, so it is at least conceivable that this mouse will be a suitable weight. I do however totally agree that a first-time mouse making company probably won't do a great job of making a mouse.
This looks great vik! Good work!
Then what is the type of (\x -> x.slot). It would have to be something like `HasField "slot" b a => a -> b` which is a significant increase in complexiy. It's not just a syntactic issue.

Nice record variants which completely solve this issue at the library level, IMO, exist. But the types are more complex than what most people want to deal with in practice.
Offtopic: blog headers are becoming larger by the year it seems. Have there been any studies to see what such large headers do to readership?
Yeah. I used to believe technical education will give you a particular outlook at the world, will make you a more careful thinker, etc. I don't believe that anymore. Here are some other things that I've seen going along with a CS degree:

- you can have a CS degree and be a total and utter asshole (for some reason I though education makes people more polite)

- you can have a CS degree and be an antivaxxer who sees vaccines as Illuminati's conspiracy (not joking here)

- you can have a CS degree and not have an ounce of rational thinking in you

- you can have a CS degree and not be able to code your way out of a paper bag

I could list some more, but you get the picture.
Yeah its not bad. In the final command, it is basically leveraging mawk for everything which works out well since there's fewer pipes.

But in this case its about replacing hadoop with mawk basically. Which is indeed a good point as well - and incidentally also confirms my own comment =)
This. I'd played with all sorts of leap second adjustments, time zone switching, etc.

A toddler won't make 5% of the population sick when in an enclosed air system like a plane, some to the point of needing an adrenaline injection or they will die of anaphylactic shock, or a beta antagonist inhaler for an asthmatic attack (which can also be lethal, although less often than anaphylaxis since it can usually be managed with an inhaler). The rules are not there for pain in the butt. They are there to protect a lot of other people.
The main thing is not to make every field required. I've got nothing meaningful to fill in at state, nor at address line 2. Too many sites make too many false assumptions about addresses.
The Encyclopedia of Trading Strategies by Jeffery Owen is good. My own experience suggests it is extremely difficult to find exploitable inefficiencies by looking at market data alone [I have not managed to do so and have spent a lot of time attempting to do so] and you're more likely to succeed making something useful people want!
Some HTML forms send every character you type as you type them.
While mistaking e.g. "there" / "their" / "they're" annoys me, I acknowledge that I'm stubborn about that stuff. Messing up details in a big formula or algorithm that people are going to use as a reference is just sloppy, though. I really appreciate authors who write in a (possibly personal and ad hoc) literate programming system that automatically extracts and tests all code samples.

I don't understand your "makes me engage with it a little bit more" reaction, though. I really don't. Could you explain?
