If you're interested in memory at somewhat higher level of abstraction check out the recent work on "cognitive maps".

It started decades ago with seminal work on place & grid cells in spatial navigation (https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2014/may-britt-mo...) which was later shown to be generalizable to multidimensional "concept spaces".

It's probably the most exciting field in neuroscience right now, it also maps very nicely into mathematics of high-dimensional spaces:

This sounds deep, but these comments don't actually mean anything.

We live in a practical world where "rights" are implemented with enforcement and mass acceptance. Sometimes it doesn't work perfectly. We're doing our best.

Calling rights "theoretical" or whatever may be technically true, but it doesn't really matter in the real world. You're not coming across any kind of deep revelation by saying it.
If there were no income taxes, there would be no net drain on the citizenry, thus more stimulus. The whole concept of stimulus is a bait & switch as the government takes away more money to presumably give a partial refund back to the public by printing more fiat, thereby devaluing the existing holdings.

If you are anti-war, how will the government pay for its Neverending wars without taxes?
She has another, rather dark, post where she concludes that she wouldn't have succeeded without being harassed by someone at university, and that she's on her own: https://www.celinehh.com/gifts-of-my-harasser
If RMS as a boss consistently makes hundreds of people, who are otherwise interested in working at the FSF, unhappy enough to quit. That is absolutely an indictment of his abilities as a leader.

Also, the fact that these people were ever employees of the FSF invalidates the claim that they're a group that "sees little to no value in the FS movement; GPL is a nuisance to the Silicon Valley companies at which they work", since they're FSF employees who don't work for Silicon Valley companies and presumably like the GPL, as they work at the FSF.
I agree. Use the right abstraction and the right number of them: I’ve yet to find an ORM that didn’t kick you in the face In terms of performance to only hold your hand with queries.

SQL queries can be done in code in a sane way to avoid sql injection or you could implement stored procedures and functions to make operations more ORM-like but not pay any of the ORM tax.

It’s just annoying to see the DB treated so flippantly by devs who are Hussein Bolt quick in grabbing an ORM when it’s not always the right tool or even necessary. They’re great for prototyping but not for production imo
I think your argument would make more sense if the actor in the room was paid a fair wage
Banking software and all the algorithms that power the global economy are vulnerable. Every 10 years or so there's a major crash because of dinne oversight and the result is "this will never happen again", yet it continues to happen again.

At least here we can build an economy off an economic model instead of what we do now which is build an economic model off of the economy.
There’s nothing fundamentally different about modeling electronics. It’s just that modeling nonlinear dynamical systems is a tough nut to crack, be it electronics, weather, heat transfer, whatever. SPICE is pretty good at it, but the newer modeling tools (that dates to the 1970s) are proprietary.

As for the DSLs/workflow/etc there are companies in this space.
Those of us subject to the wage competition in silicon valley make wages many times higher than the minimum wage. We're talking an order of magnitude more money. Competition in silicon valley does shit all for the people on the lower end of the wage scale in the bay area.
Honestly I’d just find a recruiter have have them do the heavy lifting. The good recruiters will have direct relationships with various companies.
I'd argue you should be aware of the transactions and isolations levels exist, like many things, but having to recite them in an interview situation is a different ballgame.

Otherwise, you end up in the situation where every second person has a different set of pet skills and you can't hire anyone because they need to know all the skills perfectly.

But it depends on what you're doing and your market. I've worked with people who took a pay cuts to go work for FAANG, after several interviews which they've studied for but I've decided it's not really needed when you're just writing a little in house CRUD webapp.
The STM to DMA registers (using a single CPU instruction to trigger DMA) seems like a valid optimization, unrelated to piracy prevention.
he's not uncivil. he's just blunt. the fact is, Linus does the right thing when it matters. you might not like the way he writes emails on the developer mailing list. you might think he swears too much or uses too much hyperbole. it doesn't matter though.

what you're advocating here is censorship and ostracism of one of the most important people in the FOSS world. think about that for a few minutes. you're advocating censorship and ostracism. who's uncivil now?

edit: and now you've downvoted me for disagreeing. more "civil" behavior being demonstrated here.
And it's written in Lisp!
It shouldn't be some switcharoo that the company pulls off anyway. Every company that I've talked in the past year has clarified whether they are remote indefinitely or remote only while the pandemic lasts.
Nuclear Fusion has made significant progress, and generally speaking the joke has been "its 20 years away and always will be". Only starting 2020 did people start to estimate shorter timelines, with ITER expecting to have net positive energy between 2025 and 2035. There are several fusion startups/projects looking to beat ITER, including SPARC and Commonwealth. In 2020 a detailed peer review of the system could find no major obvious flaws. SPARC is hoping to be done by 2025 with net postiive energy probably a few years after that.

Neither ITER nor SPARC require any materials breakthroughs, but do rely on breakthroughs made over the last 30 years.

People's expectations about a faster fusion timeline were always based on funding that never manifested. See https://i.imgur.com/3vYLQmm.png

We are in the ballpark of 1976 timeline expectations given the amount of spending we committed to fusion.
Audio has the advantage that you can listen while walking, working out, or cleaning up the kitchen. Since I got kids it’s the only way I manage to consume any literature.
Microsoft seems to do pretty well, at least in the sense their security is effective and still allows people to get work done. Lots of effort put into policy automation so it's easier to comply with policy than not.
I wonder if the algorithm has not detected that somehow people watching Jordan Peterson were spending more time watching Youtube, and so it is gently nudging you into that direction.
Just curious why don't they do that now? Like a community edition. I guess that's because there are still some licensed editions out there and they are OK with the $$ they bring in. But what about the future?
Well said. When I recommend Stalker to someone I tell them to make sure they don't have anything else to do. Hide your phone. Prepare yourself as if you are preparing to meditate. Slow way down, notice how the scenes make you feel. They're the antithesis of American films where something is blowing up or crashing every minute or so. In some sense you have to detox from American cinema in order to appreciate a Tarkovsky film. The problem isn't Tarkovsky, it's our frenetic pace. Tarkovsky's sense of time is much different than ours.
I currently ride a titanium hardtail MTB. It's an amazing ride. I vastly prefer it over aluminium. Titanium has a reputation for being expensive, but that's only true because the famous brands have such high margin on them (no doubt to preserve that premium reputation).
To Downvoters: So the above statement is somehow 'false' and 4chan and Gab are NOT self-hosting and are in the same situation like Parler which is still down?

Does anyone have concrete evidence that contradicts the parent AND the grandparent statements? Or is it just the emotional reaction to two websites that one just felt the need to downvote a fact without reason or counter evidence?

Let's not get any form of irrationalities in the way of the actual facts and the truth.

Explanation? (With evidence of course)
Interesting, good to know :)
Also, they use websense which holds a master list of categorised sites so it is very very likely that a lot of other people from other companies and universities also see your site as flagged. You should email websense and ask to get your URl removed.
Heavily out of date.
Sorry, your anecdotal evidence is not valuable, nor are the generalizations derived thereof, and not deserving of serious consideration. If you had some actual evidence that we could consider here, that would be helpful. If your notes had any value then you should type them up, or at least don't expect anyone to take them seriously -- they're not a legitimate basis to get up and object to people claiming to be hurt.

For someone to say "my observations drove my opinions of anti-racists" is ill-conceived on so many levels. To use only your own observations as a meaningful source of knowledge about an entire group of people is the quintessential definition of prejudice. What are your controls? How are you countering for known psychological biases when making these determinations? That you expect other people to accept these conclusions simply because you claim to have had certain observations (not even presenting what those observations are), without qualification, is astounding.

On the other hand, people are presenting claims of taking offense at certain statements. They are only making claims about their own internal state. It's you who claims to have some special knowledge about the interior emotional states of other people. What you're presenting, without any kind of evidence, is essentially "I know when people are and aren't offended, and therefore I have a right to say XYZ because I know who is genuinely hurt."

I would guess, with a standard like this, that nobody can be genuinely, unjustly hurt by anything you say. They're all crying wolf. Or, perhaps most stupidly, people who claim to be hurt by Achmed stereotypes are faking, unless you personally observe them holding signs at next weekend's rally against some cause that you think is "actual" racism.

> Why is it so important to you to defend "anti-racists"?

Because I have been a victim of racism.
It's harder to figure out what's worth reading.
Anything over $1.67 USD brings the "market cap" for the 5.991M BTC (money stock at present) over the $10M mark.

Currenty intraday high of $1.70 so 10M has been breached.
It seems that he's become less practical and more radical over time, though. When asked, he doesn't program very much any more, devoting his time instead to championing free software in an idea that some (such as Alexey) would argue isn't practical.
Given that Johnny Ive is on the executive team? Really?

And so Zuckerberg did not write code before "theFacebook" and it took him only 2 weeks to MVP?

He arrived at Harvard in sept 2003 and the next week started to write code for "course Match" and then went on with Facemash...

1000 hours is around 20 weeks if you put 50h/w, less than 6 months.

TheFacebook launched on feb4 2004. So 1000 hours that may well be it or even more in the case of Facebook.
The share of births to unmarried women has risen dramatically over the past half century, from 5% in 1960 to 41% in 2008. There are notable differences by race: Among black women giving birth in 2008, 72% were unmarried. This compares with 53% of Hispanic women giving birth and 29% of white women.

That blew me away... I would of never guessed it was that high.
Aw, thanks Jonathan! So glad you're finding it useful :)
Range does widely vary. However, typically adSense (net effective) CPM will be moderately low, e.g. $.10-.90 for most sites. Sites with a high concentration of audience for higher demand verticals can see higher CPMs, particularly if you've got decent volume of preferred placement sizes and get Google Display rather than AdWords. Higher paying verticals include:
automotive: $1-7 possible (I used to manage ad sales & ops at a larger automotive site; for some time we served 50-80M impressions a month to Google)
travel: $2-6 (I've spoken with several sites in this vertical that rely on G)

Other major consideration in managing your ad network revenue is to equate everything out to your net effective CPM, since many entry-level networks will pay you on a rev-share or CPC/CPA basis. Taking the total revenue you receive and dividing by (total impressions / 1000) can help you compare many diff sources on an equal basis.

Hope that helps.

My girlfriend bought the app as well and loves it.

She has a request though:

She wants to be able to follow through on the second page links even if they are not the correct answer.
Could you document the pixel shader DSL?
It's important to understand that extra money like this, outside of the budget the agency needs to run itself, is a fund that the head of the agency gets to use as a piggy bank for him and his friendly friends that write the operating rules in the state capital. You can't fight political grease of this magnitude with some fleeting transparency.
Yeah, I too got a /56, same country, different ISP. It just showed up one day, which confused me at first.
I'd be interested in this as well - has Apple fixed this heat issue in the 2012 MacBook Pro (non-Retina) models that they still have on sale in the Apple Store?
Which you can catch with a linter like https://github.com/kisielk/errcheck. Errors in Go are just values. There's nothing "more wrong" about ignoring a return value that is an error or one that is file handle, for example. And in cases where a function returns an error and a value (where the error generally indicates the validity of the value), you'll get a compile error if you don't check the error. That's pretty good for basically zero overhead.
You can say the same thing about every language feature there is. Of course it is possible to develop software without some particular feature, it's whether the benefits of the feature out way it's costs. With generics, most of the world has decided to land on the side of wanting them. Even golang has them, just not for users.
I was going to post this: If you do an average of `N` independent trials, your confidence interval is `O(1/sqrt(N))`.

Hence with the 10^6 trials done in the article, we must expect a couple of points deviation on the third digit.
They prevent it going slower.
Chomsky?
Java would be a lot nicer to work with had it had generics from the beginning.

It really depends on how small or large your organization is.

If it's a single repo with a single branch, sure. No need for explicit backups.

If it's tens of repos with multiple important branches in each, then it would be very dangerous to assume that developer machines have all of them.
Do the chemicals prevent the meat from rotting? Or is the ground acting like a freezer?
Wow. Just Wow.

I had to put the App to test.

Printed some simple English words and tried it out.

Original paper:

What the App shows in REALTIME:

Comparison with Google Translate:

[EDIT: Note, Translating Muerto Fin to English in Google Translate, does result in 'Dead End'. Can any Spanish reader clarify why the original Google Translate chose to translate 'DEAD END' to 'callejón sin sali'.]

[EDIT: So let me get this straight. Their program, running on iPhone [256MB RAM, 600 MHz ARM CPU], can take a live image, perform OCR, translate, create another image with the translated words. And all of this happens real time? Wow.]

I think it's really hard to get a 'Wow' reaction from HN crowd. And you have hit a home run! As someone else said in this thread, you are going to make boatload of money. Congrats!
So, predictions on how long until Google buys these guys? I'd guess within the next 7 days.
I wish you luck! Check out archivd.com and dowser.sf.net; there are lots of good ideas to steal. (I wrote them both, but they are not under active development.)
very good suggestion ...
sounds like a pretty rad place to work
May I suggest you are asking the wrong question. Shaddow employment will not solve your problem.

Instead ask "How to sell yourself for a job" -- incidentally, this yeilds tons of results on Google. Grant Cardone comes up, while his delivery can be a bit huckstery, still good food-for-thought > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PFYZde5SPk
IANAE. Education and housing could both be considered assets (i.e. you put money in, then get it out again later, plus/minus some gain). Not that I'm implying that either are currently a good investment, just that wrt to deflation, they should be thought of assets. I would assume that in a deflationary environment (with static wages) disposable income would increase, which would cause money to flow to assets, and push up their prices. Again, IANAE.
what the fuck is this website doing to scroll? It feels like my mouse wheel is in molasses.

The article looked interesting enough to read but that behaviour is invasive enough that my eyeballs are going elsewhere.
You have a lot of duplicate entries there.
If I accidentally leave my front door unlocked, it's still a crime for you to waltz into my house and peak around. I wouldn't describe what weev did as just walking through an unlocked door, either. It's more like he walked through an unmarked door, looked into a filing cabinet and saw some private business records, then thought "Cool. There's more in this cabinet. I'll just go ahead and make copies of them all for myself."
Thanks for the feedback -- here's some more info.

1. "background messenger" = Content is created in the background (ie what you're up to at a high level comes from the phone versus you needing to manually input it), and then you can see what other people are up to before you message them. We've worked on a couple ways to better describe this -- the two components of both creating content passively/in the background, and using that info as a springboard into messaging -- and other ideas were "contextual messenger," "automatic away message," and "passive messenger." It's been tough to find a description that captures those two elements -- any preferences based on those alternatives (or ideas)?

2. Definitely a fair point -- "background messenger" is the quick couple word decriptor (as in, Facebook is a social network), and "A window into your best friends' lives / Waldo keeps you in the loop, all the time" is the value prop we're trying to convey. I think you make a good point, though, that bridging those two needs work.

3. This has been one of the more interesting challenges -- getting away from the notion that it's for spying on / being spied on. The goal of the app is to help you stay connected to the most important people in your life by providing an authentic window into their world, wherever they may be, without them having to manually update all the time.

So we make sure of three things: one, you're only sharing high-level location (ie it's 'Out in SOMA' and not your dot on a map), and you can go hidden whenever you like. Two, there's no feed or history, it's only real-time -- so there's no "where was Tom last Tuesday" kind of thing anyone can do. And three, it's with a close-knit group of people -- it's a very different audience than public/FB friends/Twitter followers, and you can block anyone you don't want.

We're seeing people use it to save a text when coordinating (see if someone's already on their way) and also, more interestingly, to stay in rhythm with people they're close with who may not by nearby -- instead of a 30 minute call to parents or a sibling recounting the week, people use it to feel closer to what those close friends and family are up to when they can't be there, and then have richer interactions when they do connect.

Appreciate you checking it out and the feedback -- hope this helps explain some, and I definitely hear you on explaining the value proposition more clearly. Thanks a lot.
"I don't normally watch github projects, but when i do, it's projects like these :D "
> Basically, by fighting data caps, you're demanding that a grandma who only checks their email once a day has to pay as much as a family of four who streams Netflix in 4K every waking hour of the day.

And there is a reason for that -- it costs about the same to provide that service.

Nearly the entire cost of operating an ISP is getting the wires on the pole, keeping them there against weather and drunk drivers, answering customer support phones, paying for staff and buildings and electricity etc. None of which costs any less for the person who uses 1/1000th as much data.

Charging the amount actually attributable to additional data usage would cause the difference to be so small that basically everybody would just pick the unlimited plan so they don't have to worry about it. But they don't charge the actual cost, they charge more. Because the point is to suppress usage of Netflix et al (the main reason nearly anyone would exceed the cap) in favor of cable TV and zero-rated partners.
Hence the word "apparently."
