That's rather generous. If you're going to do serious work with Eigen, or Armadillo, or Blaze, you're going to include a BLAS library like OpenBLAS or Intel MKL (if you can afford it). Not including them is dubious, at best.
And this is why we should always remember that "the marke" should serve as our servant, not our master".

If the logic of the market become more important than the people it's supposed to serve then why have it in the first place?

Im exaggerating of course but wow.
The evidence suggests otherwise.
A couple of things to be aware of.

1. Patents that deal with producing excess energy (over-unity) (and also anti-gravity) are actually not that uncommon. There have been quite a few LENR related patents granted over the last 30 years.

2. For a heat producing over-unity device to be realistically useful it has to produce at least 3x as much energy as it consumes due to losses in the absorption and conversion process. 3x is break even.

3. For the energy industry to take interest and further develop a device, it has to at least scale to a COP of about 9-10... 3x for the conversion loss, and another 3x for an acceptable ROI (costs to bring it to market are substantial: everything from R&D to safety issues to realigning from current tech, and 100 other things).

If my memory is correct, the E-cat started with a claimed COP of 30x-100x, after a few years it was reduced to 10x-20x, and now it's reported at 3x-6x. It could go further down.
yeah, not sure that last line fits at all

in the 20th century lots of new material

its importatnt to study the room to grow in every subject

and to constrast the positive space of what is know

with the negative space of what is not

most expertise is simply the ignorance of the unlearned

who hold certain people on pedastals because they don't

know better...think of doctors in the pre-civil war days

would the be considered "experts" today? highly questionable

yet they were the best resources that time/place could muster

every startup is exploring negative space in the market...that's growth potential

a new biz might be intelligent design, but that has nothing to do with evo bio

etc...

doctors are also scientists and biz people and human

And an 18th century doctors is no less a scientist because of his ignorance;

it doesn't make darwin a 'creationist' because he doesn't understand relativity or nuclear physics

obviously absurd example of course
True, I'm being cranky. Genuine feedback usually looks pretty cranky, I figure. Most people will close things that aren't immediately understandable.

But you see the problem in the other comments as well: it's "cool". Which, in the real world, usually translates to "unusable".
Give your dream company a call  Tryout my new app: Salary Star
Salary Star
Spun out of Rewardrefer, Salary Star is a brand new app that connects business professionals and college students, to exchange wisdom and star quality potential. Here are the exclusives from my chat with the Chief Technology Officer, Tim Kou.

Aim for the stars
“Salary Star is where we break new ground”, Tim begins. Together with his three techies, Tim’s developing an app that helps students and business freshies to plan their careers from a salary point of view. Based on the student’s wishes and ambitions, they match with professionals from the right industries. The idea is to provide job leads.

“Salary Star is the new go to spot for finding your next job... The job that takes your professional life to the next level. The job that gets you the salary you deserve!”

Launched in the beginning of the summer, Salary Star already has a good 700 active users. The ambition is to push globally, but at this stage, the tech team is based in Columbus, Ohio while operating marketers and people working with media are working remotely in big cities like New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc where they currently put focus on attracting users within the U.S.

Give your dream company a call
One of the great features in Salary Star is its real-time audio communication. “There are a lot of professionals’ and employers’ profiles to check out”, Tim tells me. “Set a goal for your future salary, and check which companies are your dream companies”. Then, you just call them up. “Talk about your career goals and salary perspectives, and find out how to achieve this after graduating”, Tim suggests. “It’s kind of like career advising”.

Inflammatory?

Unfortunately, some things will incite a rise within any reasonable person, regardless of title. This is definitely one of those articles.

Not to mention the title is concise and accurate, while summarizing the article well.
Dismaland (Banksy's theme park unsuitable for children)
You could go to South America if you want to know new whole cultures. Though the big cities may look like the big cities at the United States, the lonely places are something totally new (search for Patagonia, for example).

If you want to know the big cities, including culture, I'd go to Europe. In four weeks you can visit culture capitols as Paris, London, Madrid, Rome, Berlin...
AFAIK the Xeon Phi is based on something in between Pentium I and II cores. So the idea is about the same. I'd put my money on ARM when it comes to efficient chip architecture, since efficiency was their goal from the start (x86 was always about backwards compatibility first).
A lot of phones are 32bit.
QM does away with any notion of conservation of information. Time reversibility (T symmetry) is usually talked about at macro scales where QMs effects are vanishingly small. IANAP

Regarding free will -- rigorously define it for us, without evoking the supernatural, and as distinct from pure randomness and absolute determinism, and it should be easy to tell whether the law of conservation of information allows for it. Before spending too much time in e it, though, note that such a definition is widely considered impossible. IANAP
Pretty much. Entering into a contract with a brain damaged individual who was not at all educated would get the contract thrown out of court pretty quickly.
Turns out that it does implement its own, but it also has the possibility of wrapping existing libraries:

https://bitbucket.org/blaze-lib/blaze/src/e09d62ee714745b297...

Of course, if you're seriously going to use this library, you're going to use an established BLAS library like OpenBLAS or Intel MKL.
I'd love to see a similar approach to CS-related topics. We don't know how to solve many security problems (key delivery, etc). We don't know what exactly makes a good user interface (many psychological/natural/social factors that we aren't aware). And we're yet to know how to write a correct program, let alone what "correctness" is. We don't even know what's a good way approach the problem, or even discuss it.
Setting the scope of the work is what is keeping management controlled.

E.g. "In Version 1.0, it will talk to these 3 services only..."

But that is different from 'requirements' which I take it as 'things that are required' and have a non-negotiable connotation about them.

E.g. "It must work with all of our services"

Since it is not know which requirements are actually required and which are BS, it may be better to call requirements 'requested functionality' and what is planned to be delivered 'project scope' and drop the requirements word altogether.

In Colombia, the use of 'vos' means the person is from the region where sugarcane is cultivated, or the cities around.

That means Cali, Buenaventura and some others.

"you have to use Emacs to program in lisp..."

You don't. Nobody stops you to use vim and fire a clisp repl instead if you want. Older but much friendly to start than sbcl.

Emacs as a barrier to lisp is an interesting concept. To me was exactly the opposite.
¿Donde coges la buseta?

Perfectly normal here, even more confusing in other places.
They can sue to get the contract voided, just like anyone with a mental disability that prevents them from understanding a contract.

The article mentions this, but says that they often aren't incapacitated enough to void the agreements -- which puts them in a strange gray area. It's similar to scams that prey on the elderly.
That sounds, maybe ironically in this context, like a class-action lawsuit opportunity. Or maybe individual litigation on contingency (to void the contract for lack of capacity to contract, or another theory).

Does it matter? It's black people who are affected by it.
Working remotely (albeit interstate within the U.S., not internationally) at $100k. Definitely possible. Have seen remote positions up to $180k+ so I imagine there's still plenty of room to grow.

It seems like companies are uneasy hiring people a) for significantly more than they already make or b) for their first remote position.
How exactly? Would broad categories be enough?

Maybe I'm an ignorant jackass for asking this, but how can someone who lacks competence to enter contracts ever litigate on a contingency basis?
Are these actually bad deals? If the payments stop at death of the seller, the buyer is taking on legitimate risk. Plus all "present value" calculations are of course uncertain. Ignoring the race drama the author apparently needed to drive clicks, a different interpretation is that these companies are providing value to these people in converting slow streams of cash payments into lump sums of cash.
I'm a little surprised by the downvote; I may have made a mistake, or it may be something peculiar about my configuration, but, when I try to run an application, even if I control-click to bypass the policy, I still have to enter my administrative password. Is this not the way it usually behaves? (As I say, it's a work computer, so perhaps they have some unusual security policy in place.)
My tip for getting under their skin: sincerely try to persuade them that they deserve a better job than the shitty, exploitative thing they're going. They are prepared for yelling, but not so prepared for compassion and honesty.

I've also had some luck opening with, "Does your family know that you lie to people for money?" That can be a good lead-in to suggesting they do something actually worthwhile.
bash, tmux and vim are all supported. You can even have a full Xfce desktop.

Hardware support is unfortunately flaky, in part because the GNU Mach code lacks some features like PCI MSIs and uses drivers from the Linux 2.6 era through DDE. Virtualization is definitely the route through which people run it.

The rump integration will hopefully change this situation, assuming it advances forward.

Yep, Win10 enterprise edition has the no telemetry option for example and it is not difficult to get for businesses who pay for volume licensing (though there is the mandatory software assurance that costs a bit more). It also has other goodies like the Long Term Support Branch for critical systems.
> Are these actually bad deals?

Yes.
Yes, it matters. It's poor practice for a journalist to include the race, sexual orientation, religion, etc... of someone if it has nothing to do with the story.
Indeed. Your parent comment is a classic example of general misconceptions about how racism and racial disparity work. It's not just about feelings and intent. It's as much about systems and institutions.

The scum who are ripping off these people may not be doing it for racial reasons. But, the fact that blacks are disproportionately affected is certainly rooted in racial history.

I will write with that kindly tone in the future. Got it.
I can think of lots, yes.
Exactly.

It stands to reason that inner cities have the most problem with brain damage from lead poisoning. Inner cities often have high percentages (in the case of Baltimore a majority) of black people.

If more black people live where more people have lead caused brain damage and this business model has sprung up to exploit them, it's a perfectly valid title for the article.
Indeed, why? I say we start there and then keep going. I'd be perfectly willing to go as far as banning all paid advertising. Surely humanity could find something useful to do with the trillion or so we spend on advertising, PR, and related manipulation. But let's start small and see how it goes.

Whether or not they are good deals is a secondary question to whether or not the people signing the contracts have any idea what is going on. The article makes it pretty clear: the legal protections are too weak, and severely impaired people are signing documents they don't understand.

It's easy to construct scenarios where the closing prices are fair - even generous. It's also totally irrelevant.

The technical term is not "made", but something more like "stole". If you put $1 in your pocket while wasting $10 (or, more likely, $100 or $1000) of other people's time, then you're not a productive citizen, you're a parasite.

Why pull back like that? This is exactly what the US is driven towards. 'The Market' is more important than any person in the country. Taking advantage of people is big business and because 'The Market' has spoken it is left to operate.

That isn't really an answerable question without filling in a lot of demographic information. In addition, I'm guessing these companies typically have more than one "client" and get to amortize their risk across all of them and I can't help but imagine this is an extremely profitable enterprise (certainly from the article that seems to be true of Access).

"The realm of the 'textbook' known is so small for many scientific domains that in an ideal world it would be relegated to summer reading"

It seems like you're implying that the 4-8 years graduate students spend, starting in undergrad, learning what's already known about their field could be relegated to a single summer? That's fairly outrageous, given how many thousands of scientists have been building increasingly complex theories and categorizations of knowledge over the past few hundred years.
I'm not convinced. Your distinction makes this all about you, when in fact it's more about the publisher.

As far as the publisher is concerned, your friend and AT&T might as well be the same person. Both are taking a copyrighted work from the publisher, altering it materially, and presenting it to you.

AT&T is not selling the work, they are delivering it.

If one is a copyright violation, both are.
In the article the same woman falls for a different company to sell her settlement to, and it gets thrown out of court because she already sold it to the first company.

If someone has brain damage and struggled with an education, usually a custodian is assigned to take care of their finances and make financial and legal decisions for them. In this case it didn't happen, and her name and phone number is on a list of people who got settlements that these companies buy and then call and scam out of their settles for pennies on the dollar.

First, stop considering and see your doctor. Make an appointment now. You may be treatable as depressed, or the two of you may conclude that some other treatment is appropriate.

I'm in my late 50s. I've been taking an SSRI, generic Citalopram (Celexa) for a few months. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citalopram

The biggest impact on my life may be that I'm still alive, that I no longer want to or feel that I need to kill myself, that I no longer wake up every day wondering if this should be the day. This was my life just a few months ago.

I wish I'd done something about this years ago.

More productive? Yeah, maybe. I was still functioning when I was untreated, but I was miserable, and would obsess over any setback, real or constructed. So I'm not doing that anymore, and so I'm probably spending more time producing.

Possibly more productive in the sense that I bother trying to accomplish things in my personal life that I previously discarded as impossible for me. "That'll never work."

However, that's my story, not yours. We're all individuals, with our own genes and experience and environment.

Drawbacks? No, not really. My libido is somewhat less distracting. Some people report no libido, some no difference. If that becomes an issue you can consult with your doctor and adjust things.

I'm not more energetic, I'm not more lazy. I am still exactly who I was before. However, I'm certain that I'm more pleasant to be around. I think often depression is perceived by others as someone generally being an asshole. I used to very often find myself riding the trainwreck of an interaction, and powerless to stop it.

Personally, my biggest fear was not being able to think if I took antidepressants. If anything, I think better, because I don't waste my brain on unproductive, irrational thinking. I'm not smarter, and I'm not stupider, I just don't have as many obstacles as I used to.

Bottom line: you're not a doctor. You aren't going to a doctor to receive antidepressants, you're going to treat your possible depression. That treatment may include antidepressants, and/or something else.

Go make your appointment.
> Still, Borkowski urged stricter legislation and more oversight. “These questions you raise touch on fundamental things we are going to be doing differently now,” he said. “We want to secure ourselves in the future from any potential questions like this again, so we can say, ‘No, that’s not us.’ ”

> Recent Intel hardware provides high-quality estimates of processor and memory power consumption ... But the big problem is that they are machine-wide measures that cannot be used on a per-process basis.

Would it not be possible for the OS to poll the CPU for these power consumption stats, and attribute the value returned to the currently running process?

Over time, I think it would be possible to see how much power the Intel CPU thinks each process is using.
which doesn't mean you lack information about the state of the particle.

Yes it does. Quantum observations (sometimes called "collapse of the wave function") are not time symmetric. Once you've experienced one you can't derive where you were before it. Otherwise you wouldn't be using the word "probability".

This inability to recover a previous state is, by definition, the loss of information.
