This may be true, but average people often struggle to understand the "more value" that a certain job creates, especially in science and IT. The definition of "more value" is also contested. For example, I would argue that most bureaucracy is creating negative value, even though the people working in these bureaucracies may be very respectable individually.
At a guess, the majority would be correct. In general, physicians, like all humans, are incompetent and self-interested. Absolving yourself of personal responsibility by ceding your autonomy to an authority figure rarely works out. This is why I hate compulsory government healthcare: Physicians cease to be employees or voluntary servants who help, and become police (or tax farmers) who control and exploit. It is human nature.
In Sweden* (and surely other places) you borrow a portable barcode scanner when you enter the store and scan your own products. At the end the cashiers take the scanner and do something and you're done.

I think they do random "bag checks" as well every now and then. And you might need to have the stores credit/debit card (but I am not sure because I never used this system myself).

Re: researcher degrees of freedom, it's not really about multiple comparisons but about the fact that as an analyst you can make lots and lots of choices about how to construct your model that, individually, might well be defensible, but that ultimately end up making your model very data-dependent. You see some outliers and you remove them, you see some nonlinearities so you analyze the ranks instead of the raw data, you don't find an overall effect but you do find it in some important subgroups which then becomes the new headline, and so on and so on. At no point was anything you did unreasonable, but the end result is still something that won't generalize.

It would be awesome if we could prevent this crackle somehow on a lower level of abstraction. What I mean by that is that if the buffer runs dry, the hardware (or the OS/audio driver) could do some prediction in order to bridge any gaps in the audio more nicely.

I don't see how either operational or denotational semantics is relevant as I was not talking about semantics of any kind.

I don't think I am confusing anything, you are reacting exactly as I would expect from someone who does not get the point I'm making: we don't have to necessarily program with steps of instructions. If we have a good solver for our language, we can very efficiently execute definitions like my example. I agree that this presents the challenge of efficiently executing such high-level definitions, but this is irrelevant to my point.

> Mathematics sits at a level of abstraction unsuited to physical hardware.

Precisely what I am talking about. Mathematics sits at a level of abstraction convenient for humans not machines.

Have you ever programmed in Prolog? I strongly suggest you try it to get a feeling of why programs are not inherently lists of instructions and how computation can be viewed as deduction.

By design seems more correct, given the pecuniary interests of the designers.
There are many solutions to that. The EU solution is to require all member states to regulate local loop unbundling, so any provider can rent access at regulated rates to connect their equipment at the local exchanges and get a raw connection to the subscribers.

How exactly you manage the company that owns the last mile infrastructure can greatly affect how well this works, but even in the UK which has done this quite poorly, there are pretty much no place where you can't pick from dozens of ISPs.

It still imposes limits as to the maximum capacity, based on the upgrade schedules of OpenReach (BT) which controls the phone/adsl network. There are some problems. E.g. due to the way regulation is structured in the UK, BT frequently gets accused of milking OpenReach for money rather than invest in upgrades at the pace they ought to (basically because they earn far more from OpenReach than from their own ISP). One solution to this type of problem would be to regulate dividends from the line operator so that there is a limit set based on the amount invested in upgrades to make it pay to reinvest and/or to allow them a higher profit margin on upgraded services for a period.

OpenReach's wholesale prices are regulated roughly based on a cost+ basis, and are open and published on their websites for everyone to read.

Overall it does mean the ISP market is quite competitive, and entry costs for new ISPs are guaranteed to be relatively low, as e.g. there are "backhaul" services available that allow an ISP to get a connection to one or a few points in BTs network and have them hand over IP connections to subscribers at that point rather than having to do local loop unbundling across the country.
Yes, screen real estate would be a problem, and also the way in which the relationships between the entities are drawn (I am imagining that it may become a "tangled" mess :) So a realistic example would be awesome.
A lot of audio hardware does this - it switches the audio off only when the signal is at a zero crossing. So it can be implemented by the OS by telling the codec that the zero value is an underrun rather than a desired signal.
With fiber, that's solved by putting fiber in the ground in installation, to then upgrade the switches at each end as necessary.

Kind of like what electric utilities already do with small growing industries.

Yes, fleet tracking software already exists but don't think that it can grow only till we scale it to certain level and add some extra features. There will be myriad of possibilities when this data is easy to access. Currently, it is limited to only those companies who can procure the GPS devices, and install it for their customers which translated to high barrier to entry and CAC costs.

The processor will try to do write-combining to fill entire cache lines, so it doesn't need to do a memory read. GCC already has a number of intrinsics to help with streaming data directly to RAM (helps to keep from evicting more important data from the cache).

The cache can be bypassed when doing a lot of writes. See section "Bypassing the cache" of [0].

That article says that memset() already uses cache bypassing instructions for large blocks.

This doesn't seem right. TLA helps you prove properties of its specification, not its implementation. Or are you saying you can somehow prove properties of implementation too?

Sure, but prove properties of its specification, not its implementation. Unless I'm missing something ...

Again, surely the specification of programs not their implementation?

> > For example, how do you prove a loop invariant in Python?

> ... Sure, there may be a bug in the tranlation to Python

Absolutely. That's the whole point. Translating it to Python is going to be hard and full of mistakes.

> but we're talking about reasoning not end-to-end certification, which is beyond the reach -- or the needs -- of 99.99% of the industry

If the implementation part truly is (relatively) trivial then this is astonishingly eye opening to me. In fact I'd say it captures the entire essence of our disagreements over the past several months.

> The easiest way to reason about a Python program is to learn about state machines, and, if you want, use a tool like TLA+ to help you and check your work.

No, that's the "easiest way" of reasoning about an algorithm that you might try to implement in Python.

Fair point about only taking half the ping distance.

On the other issues, I disagree. They are the precisely the point of my objection. Assuming that latency is governed by the speed of light fails to take into account all of those other effects. Many of which can be mitigated. And, this is an extreme case. London to Sydney is probably one of the longest paths you can take (except maybe London Auckland?) with many stretches of fibre. On shorter paths, the overheads stack up much more heavily. In datacenters, the time of flight is a few nano-seconds, but the overall latency is tens of micro-seconds to tens of milli-seconds.

Isn't it odd that we accept 2x-5x (sometimes even 1000x) overhead over the best case and yet still argue that it's governed by the speed of light? How many other places in computing are we willing to accept that?
(IPFS dev here)

We've been working hard to get js-ipfs to a working level and just last week announced it's ready. While it's still early days and we have plenty to do to make it even more robust, we have it fully working with WebRTC support as of today.

We've developed some apps and demos that essentially enable you to create dynamic content and apps on IPFS, purely in the browser. We do have to currently rely on a centralized Pubsub (in a similar fashion to torrent trackers) but we're working on to provide a decentralized pubsub mechanisms as part of IPFS.

Regarding persistency: js-ipfs and the main ipfs (native go-ipfs) networks are not yet connected but we're very close to having that. Once they all communicate in the same network, we can provide a lot better persistency as users don't have to keep the tabs open in the browser.

Take a look at some of the examples of what can be done today with js-ipfs, that is fully in the browser:

As the person who started the AFD, I don't have anything against Ken Dakin personally, but part of the problem is that he obviously has a bias in analysing the historical significance of his own career. He thinks some (obscure) system he worked on in the early-to-mid-1970s was very similar to what (much more well-known) people did a bit later in the 1970s and into the 1980s (such as VisiCalc). Maybe he's right, but then again maybe what he did isn't actually as close to what those later people did as he thinks (and might even be unfair to those later people); since none of us have seen this 1970s system he worked on, it's a hard question to answer. What's really needed is someone neutral and authoritative to do that evaluation – and searching reliable sources (e.g. academic journals, books from reputable publishers, etc) I can't find anything approaching that. (What little I can find seems more focused on studying on-Wikipedia controversies about WRS than evaluating WRS in its own right.) Deletion is never permanent, and an article deleted from Wikipedia today could be recreated in a few more years if better sources appear for it during that time. (There are journals that cover this stuff; e.g. IEEE Annals of the History of Computing – if someone wrote a paper about this system, and had it published there, Wikipedia could then cite that as a reliable source.)

It would be cool if the hardware did some Fourier analysis to resample the buffers it gets (so it could make them run for longer if the buffers run dry), but it probably would cause some kind of latency issue. I reckon that just avoiding buffer underruns is less overhead.

It's lambda - basically the amount of regularization (simplification or 'overfit penalty') to impose. Usually chosen by cross-validation - try every lambda between say 0 and 10 in 0.5 increments and choose lambda that gives the model the lowest error cross validation measure...

Some dissenting views on the utility of differential privacy: https://medium.com/@Practical/differential-privacy-considere...

Also, Apple is woefully low on details, theoretical privacy should be accompanied by openly published research papers that are peer reviewed. I understand they won't release the source, but would you trust Apple if they said they invented a new encryption algorithm, but refuse to publish an academic paper on it? I'd be interested precisely in what they're doing. Are they claiming they're doing federated learning, by gathering anonymous image data from photos, uploading it to their cloud, training DNNs on it, and then shipping the results back down to clients for local recognition? Surely they're not training on device, as this is very RAM and CPU intensive.
Hello! This is my first iteration on an idea I've had burning in my mind for a while.

I had always wanted somewhere I could view things important to me all in one spot, and I always felt that was one of the great opportunities of the API ecosystem. A dashboard for your life, or perhaps a mission control for your business.

I have a feature road map that I'm working through, some of those being:
* More Authentication Support
* More Complex Displays, such as Graphs, and tabled data
* Data Pre Processing, to make some endpoints more useable
* The ability to embed a block on external websites

I would be more than happy to answer any questions and look forward to your feedback!
Everyone who says we are in a bubble should come up with a systematically better way to allocate capital.

Otherwise: shut up and fuck off.

Because for all the hullaballoo about poor allocation in X or Y [Combinator] or Z company being correct, the broader premise, that the market is working out good things to do with money, is clearly somewhat proven by Silicon Valley's last decade of spend: cheap, connected, actually smart smartphones; electric cars becoming affordable; affordable re-useable rockets. All of which are vastly humanly benign, as well as good ways to make money (not all of which do, but some do, i.e. phones).

So, pony up, or fuck the fuck off.

This is actually touted as a positive and a negative by the respective camps.
Fitting is called training and when you look at it this way, your algorithm gets better and better at some task the more you train it.thus with practice your algorithm learns. It's just semantics.

So how is it different from statistics. It isn't, but usually the focus in ml is on big data and the accuracy of the prediction, while statistics tend to focus more on the explanation of the data.

I believe the reason for the difference is one sprang out of computer science and revived research into AI and therefore is more hip. The other didn't and is still fighting with its image of being dry and boring.
I always say that we're lucky as developers since our job is likely one of the last to be automated away.

> It can be helpful to know that, on all modern processors, you can safety assign a value to a int, double, float, bool, BOOL or pointer variable on one thread, and read it on a different thread without worrying about tearing

This is true on the CPU side (for some CPUs) but what about compiler optimizations?

Using "volatile" should make stores and loads happen where they are written in the code, but can it be relied on in multi threaded use cases? It's generally frowned upon for a good reason, but perhaps it's acceptable if you're targetting a limited range of CPUs (the article seems to be focused on iOS and ARM only).

A safer bet would be to use __atomic_load and __atomic_store (from [0] or [1]) or C11 atomics if you have the appropriate headers for your platform. They provide safe loads and stores for all CPU architectures, and provide the appropriate memory barriers for cache coherency (for architectures that do care).

It's strange too, because if you are building a production-ready (i.e., not a proof-of-concept demo using bleeding edge technologies supported in only one browser) website or webapplication, the bare minimum level of browser support that grants you a very modern set of features you can depend on is to only support up-to-date evergreen browsers. That means Chrome/Chromium, Edge, and Firefox.

I can get dropping Edge if you are an individual developer and simply don't have any Windows machines around (testing websites from a VM really sucks), but going Chrome-only pushes us back to the monopoly position that harmed our field so much in the first place.

Actively moving towards a webkit-monoculture ultimately harms our profession.
