We’ll... I have clients, friends and family in every industry you listed. None of them would buy this for various reasons. This is a truck made by city folk, for city folk. Which is fine, btw, I’m just disappointed as I was hoping to replace my ICE with one. I suppose I’ll just have to wait.
To combine this with another comment, free and closed source means that at some point, many of those users will be massively disappointed. I can think of very few exceptions.
Memory is currently (IMHO) the limiting factor of neural networks at general AI stuff. In order to learn new things, they need to "train" by seeing the new thing many times and updating their parameters slowly. Analogous to how humans learn at a low level. You need to practice throwing a ball or riding a bike or speaking a language, and over time you just learn how to do it naturally.

But you can't ask a neural network a question like "what was the last time you saw X". Nor are they very good at storing facts. You can tell it "Obama is the president", but it needs to hear that fact many times before it forms a connection between "Obama" and "president". Whereas a human would remember hearing that fact before and recall it, and eventually after recalling it enough times, would also form that connection at a low level.

This is sort of a step in that direction. They are storing sentences as memories, and then having the NN iterate through all of them and pick the ones that are relevant.
Not even that! Literally the valuation is a figment, especially without knowing the associated terms. $12m at $40m post-money with a 3x participating preferred? Literally all we know is the team has access to $12m in the bank to spend, not on their own salary, but on building a company called Magic. After the $12m is spent they should have a company that is worth $40m.

It's a bet that for every $1 the team spends they can create about $3 in value. Which at 5x revenue is to say, they can spend $12m and at the end of the day be cash flow neutral and have about $8m in ARR.

Throw in a liquidation preference on that $12m and what you actually have are golden handcuffs and high expectations but the work for this team all lays ahead of them not behind them.
> Just name it "foo" or "woot" temporarily until you have the energy to come up with a more-friendly one.

But how do I merge your "foo" and my "woot"? Um ... why should I even have to care? Why aren't we just working on the same branch by default?

> Is this supposed to mean that the concept of private, local branches is confusing?

Yes. What happens when I type "git push"? Which of my named branches got transferred? Um ...

> "Why not just clone the whole repository?" really baffles me, because that's exactly what cloning already does...

So, is that before or after having been gc'd? Which branches did you get? etc.

If there are 3 people generating code artifacts in an office, one of which is an artist, I DON'T CARE about any of these things. Worse, they are wasted mental energy for people who don't like this kind of stuff (the artist, for example, likely doesn't enjoy graph theory). Worst, they are ways that you can corrupt your repository or blow your code away.

The fact that I have to think about graph theory to use a DVCS in daily use is unacceptable. It means I can't explain this to writers, artists, and other non-programmers who I would really like to have in source control, too.

I explain mercurial vs git like the difference between a high-end chainsaw and a logging chainsaw. A high-end chainsaw has things like safeties, a blade clutch, electric starters, comfortable handles, etc. It will go through 99% of the trees anybody will use it for. A logging chainsaw doesn't have lots of amenities, but the motor is bigger and it will blow through 100% of trees. It's also a hell of a lot heavier which means it's harder to control and more likely to seriously hurt you when something goes wrong.

That's a bad goal to direct you to anything useful. Trying really hard to just plain get laid is a self defeating quest because you'll probably creep people out in the process and make them not trust you enough to share their experiences (much less their sexuality) with you.
> everyone just expects most companies ... to employ this level of security paranoia?

The established enterprise hosting companies have security-infrastructure teams that are larger than the entire staff of most startups. Draw your own conclusions about how thorough those startups are with regard to security.
Yeah, and WSL1 was something similar, but I was suggesting just Unix here, no Win32. Imagine GNU/NT!
That’s an example where you (almost) have the underlying goods, and then, short selling indeed is a useful tool.

The problem is with naked short selling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_short_selling), which doesn’t require you to have the potatoes at all. So, it takes less investment to do, but of course, if, next week you have to cough up the potatoes, and the prices did go up, your losses can be huge (basically, in the ‘covered’ version, most of your money is in the potatoes, not in the futures. With naked short selling, you can invest all your money in very volatile potato futures. That increases your risk)

I was riding shotgun with a colorblind friend when he approached one of these somewhere around Pleasanton, CA. He started freaking out a bit as we approached, asking what color the light was.

Turns out that the standard is that red goes on top or on the left, but he didn't know that since he had never come across a horizontal stoplight before (neither had I).

So saying "I'm colorblind" is usually BS, but it is possible (especially if some designer went and got all cute with the stoplight).
No, CPU seems to be an exception. Even on the smallest plan, you can often burst all the way to 400% (4 cores). So it depends on what other customers are doing, and if everyone else were idle, you'd get the same CPU in both plans. But the host machine is at least an 8-core beast, so one person bursting to 400% doesn't affect other customers as much as it would in other hosting platforms. Also, the main bottleneck in a VPS setup is RAM and I/O. Personally, I've never had a CPU shortage in the two years I've been with Linode ;)
Paperwork doesn't use its own cloud storage. You can host it either locally or at your own server. No problem using encryption, VPN tunneling etc. here.

The fact that it's not a true cloud service could be seen as a downside. Your data is only stored at one server without failsave mechanisms. And you're responsible on your own regarding the data.
How does it compare in practice to modern forms of stochastic gradient descent with momentum (e.g., RAdam SGD) when applied to challenging, multi-million-variable non-convex optimization problems?

Will learning Ruby better give me a new perspective and reinforce my Java knowledge or will it just distract me?

I'll already need to learn extended ML for my functional programming class this semester (previously done haskell). I use php at work when doing front-end web dev. I wouldn't mind increasing my javascript skills also. So I'm afraid of being jack of all trades, master of none.

I know Java better than I think I do. It's all the libraries and frameworks that I need to become familiar with.
Yeah, sorry for the somewhat nebulous nature of the question. having direct access only to my own brain, it's now abundantly clear that it's quite easy to fall into the trap of assuming that everyone uses email accounts in a similar way to one's self and will classify them the same way too.

But you got it right based off cperciva's suggested addition, if you're in a situation where your PayPal email address forwards to an address that you do pay attention to or the like, then that would be a "yes".
This article reminds me to ask: why do Americans call pizza "pies"? Numerous times, the article refers to pizzas as if they are a variant of pies, and I have heard it elsewhere, too.

To me, an Australian, a pizza and a pie are completely different things. The idea of calling a pizza a pie is ludicrous, and vice versa. Anyone care to explain?
I made the connection just based on the title, and I'm sure many other people did too.

I didn't take my reply down because I didn't mean it, or because I thought it was wrong. I took it down because I felt that I didn't know enough about your life. I was finding multiple aspects of your response grating making it difficult for me to remain non-judgemental. So, I decided it would be better to simply "apologize and move on".

I find your comparison of me with your family to be extremely insulting, as you know nothing about my life.

The mistake I made, which in your eyes makes me as good as a bunch of right-wing misers, was to 1) suggest a key aspect of what my own therapy was based around, and 2) share with you what _I_ found was something useful in improving my "suffering".

However, you decided to take it as yet another sign of how people are judging you (Jon Kabat-Zinn has a lot to say about non-judgementalness too, and that was another key aspect of my therapy), missing the fact that you are judging others, and in particular in the course of this interaction, me.

I do not have the resilience, capacity, or training to deal with such judgements.

I think that you can read my first response in many different ways. You chose one perspective, and perhaps, in the future you may choose to read it in other ways. Apart from that response, in which I gave you what I felt were the most valuable things I had to offer to anyone, I have nothing else to give you.

I'll leave you with a quote from J. Kabat-Zinn's "Full Catastrophe Living":

> Acceptance does not mean that you have to like everything or that you have to take a passive attitude toward everything and abandon your principles and values. It does not mean that you are satisfied with things as they are or that you are resigned to tolerating things as they “have to be.” It does not mean that you should stop trying to break free of your own self-destructive habits or to give up on your desire to change and grow, or that you should tolerate injustice, for instance, or avoid getting involved in changing the world around you because it is the way it is and therefore hopeless.

> Acceptance as we are speaking of it simply means that you have come around to a willingness to see things as they are. This attitude sets the stage for acting appropriately in your life, no matter what is happening. You are much more likely to know what to do and have the inner conviction to act when you have a clear picture of what is actually happening than when your vision is clouded by your mind’s self-serving judgments and desires or its fears and prejudices.

It’s fallen significantly: https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2017/article/estimating-the-us-...

However, in the late 20th century—after many decades of relative stability—the labor share began to decline in the United States and many other economically advanced nations, and in the early 21st century it fell to unprecedented lows.

PS: In terms of overall GDP a numbers (edit: not real data) 21% vs 17% may seem more or less stable but that’s a 20% drop or roughly all inflation adjusted per capita GDP growth over the last 20 years.
Yep, sum and linear types are two of the biggest improvements of Rust over, say, C++. The third would probably be that it's a lot smaller than C++.
Not quite overall, at least from my perspective.

1. Adaptive sync still needs Wayland protocol support, before compositors can pick it up. It already works on X.

2. Some major features like common frameworks for screen capturing need to be agreed on, in order to avoid reinventing the wheel in tons of incompatible ways. Did everyone agree to use Pipewire, or it's still bikeshedded with everyone trying to do their own thing? I wasn't following this recently.

3. KWin has some major bugs to fix for the Wayland session, like subsurfaces clipping issue.

4. Support for Wacom drawing tablets is still missing in KWin on Wayland.

And so on.

I guess the way I’d try to help those people understand it is with the fiction I tell myself (which I alluded to upthread): I mentally model the “outer” function and the “inner” recursion as referencing different functions that have the same signature and the same body. The definition is concrete and self sufficient, it just dependency-injects a contract in its own image to delegate future work to. It’s even easy to literally implement that way in languages with first class functions, because you can just bind fn a to b and call b within a.
Weirdly, my Comcast service has never been better than in the last year or two. Also cheaper as I dropped TV entirely. I haven't seen any hint of balkanizing the service as you describe, but of course that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. There's still a lack of competiton in most areas. My alternative to Comcast would be 4G via my phone.
Comcast/Xfinity is also blatantly manipulating their numbers. I’ve measured my traffic every month for the last 3 years. Some how, during December, I magically went over my 1.2TB cap for the first time (now that they are actually enforcing caps).

I checked my network and my data was 987gb. Well below the 1.2TB cap that Comcast said I went over.

Data caps are just atrocious behavior. Truly barbaric. I’m a hardcore capitalist, but I’m directly opposed to corruption, and that’s what cable and ISPs like Comcast are. Corrupt, archaic, welfare corporations that drain the soul out of society.
> Is that a realistic scenario that cannot be solved by just building out capacity?

Have you ever wondered why most home internet speeds top out at 35Mbps? It goes back to legacy spectrum stuff, they never needed upload to get cable to you, so the reserved spectrum was small, on docsis 3.x it tops out at 35Mbps.

The internet backend isn’t some wonder of engineering, it’s tubes held together with duct tape and bubble gum. A lot of old ways of doing things.

There is a very real practical limit to “just building out capacity”. Because of exisitint equipment, legacy standards, etc.

Running fiber to everyone directly, wouldn’t fix things. Beyond specs and standards, it would become a space, power, and heat limitation at these isps, and this is all totally ignoring cost.
Automatic TCO affects stack traces, which programs might rely on at runtime, requiring that browsers agree on what the right behavior should be; on the flip side, manual TCO (with annotations) would need to be a language feature.
Why are we only hearing about these breaches in the US? Whoever exploited this weakness, must have attacked all targets in Europe, Asia, etc. Are they keeping it quiet somehow? Or maybe they aren't as good at identifying the breaches?

Pure white on my monitor can't be created by CSS anyway, thank god, that'd be a full 1014 nits and actually is painful to look at.

But this is a general issue - you want to be able to represent extremely high contrast, far beyond the brightness of a sheet of paper in photos, movies, games, etc. But you want a significantly lower contrast for text. Sadly, websites mix both and offer no way to configure them separately.
True, and the exact same thing can be said about classical music. The average person needs some sort of framework to learn the art form. And yes, this is more imitation than innovation, but nevertheless can serve as a framework for musical expression.

In this case their "lived experience" is directly contradicted by the lived experience of a number of people right here in this very thread.

It may well be they're telling the truth about their school, but that still makes a blanket claim, like the one made above, misinformation when it's presented with no qualification to indicate it's based purely on an anecdote (I'll note the comment has since been edited to water down the original claim)
Thanks. I'm answered.
No, it actually orders.
To my knowledge, EMP has killed precisely zero people in human history. I'd be curious as to why you think people living in a high-rise can't defend themselves.
I was curious about the thoughts of Morphic vs MVC as well given that Squeak seems to have gone Morphic based and the Self GUI was entirely Morphic.

I do like the reflection approach of presenting editable user interfaces to objects that Self provides that you mention. Using that interface feels very much like manipulating a soup of objects vs using an application.
Sorry about that. Using sendgrid, which seems to delay emails from new accounts for a bit.
I read somewhere that Whitehorse has the highest number of bicycle commuters per capita. I rode my motorcycle through there a few years ago, and it was quite beautiful.. but I don't get why so many bike commuters. I guess compared to a big city it has no transit or less transit? But less spread out than a typical suburban area?

The statistic would have surprised me in an area with mild weather year-round; nothing about the area seemed particularly well- (or ill- , for that matter) suited to bicycle commuting. A fairly compact downtown but plenty of rural housing.

The cold winters just made the bicycle commuting stat mind-blowing.

Any feedback about this statistic? Is it like a "yeah, but.." kind of thing? Or does the area really take pride in bicycling? Some kind of history I'm not aware of?
Do you support UBI when everything is automated? Or do you think there will be infinite new possibilities created as older tasks get automated?

India. It is an enigma that why is India's response to Covid-19 gets ignored. India to date has vaccinated more people than Israel and has one of the least CFR per capita.

Ha, I guess it's possible. But if that's true then it seems that some of the intermediate steps in "public static void universe()" use mutable state that can result in cache invalidation difficulties.
Microsoft extended the JDK with VisualJ++, by introducing their COM based version of JNI. They claimed that the result was the same thing; now Google reimplemented the JDK while keeping the same API. that makes a subtle difference.

I've all but given up giving a damn about web standards. No one _REALLY_ cares. Not the uses, not the developers, not the w3c with their open-to-interpretation "recommendations", and ESPECIALLY NOT browsers vendors who, for various reasons, aren't able to nail down a consistent interpretation of web standards.

The choices are to use a framework which does the shit-work for you, or resort to lowest-common denominator "whatever works" techniques like HTML tables.

No... Let's say you're going to the store to get milk. Either milk will be on sale or milk will not be on sale. We've covered the universe with our proposition.

I think you missed iuguy's last paragraph.

A rebuttal is in order, because I've seen this argument before:

First: assuming a long, slow, undetected brute force is running, you have just as many chances at the beginning of helping the attacker by moving closer to their starting point as you do increasing the distance. It's the same whether you change it or not.

Second: a long, un-detected brute force? Bull.

Third: decent passwords negate brute forces entirely. Trillions-of-years entirely. We've established that changing passwords when you have a horribly insecure system might minimally improve things, but we have not established that changing secure passwords in any way helps.
I don't know why but this issue really irks me. The hypocrisy on this is off the charts. Gambling is legal in our country - the WTO has made that legal judgment (http://www.ibet.pro/2007/08/25/us-government-ignores-wto-rul...). Our actions are an attempt to preserve a protection racket for U.S. gambling operations and it's just wrong. Not only that but the strategy of seizing domain names, arresting execs, will never solve this problem. This shit pisses me off - I'm sorry.
