This is important work. And the author is not wrong about the sad state of hardware description through verilog. One of the reasons I chose to use VHDL over verilog was that it was somewhat more robust in terms of complete implementations you could get (especially cheaply)

I find it interesting that ARM is doing this now versus all along. Was V8 the point where their licensees revolted and said "Hey, your spec is full of bugs, we're not going to pay a license fee for this crap." ?
So having used the recon line of products (which this is a spiritual cousin of) I can only say that these kinds of displays are kinda dodgy.

When skiing anything resembling challenging terrain, the stuff is bouncing around and my ability to focus universally across on the then 2nd gen recon displays was simply not possible. I'm a decent skier, but not that crazy and I ended up returning the smith io/x using the recon screen.

On a motorbike it'd be pretty intolerable, way more bumps and stuff, I'd think. Then you layer on the safety concerns... the very real question of what happens when someone crashes wearing one of these helmets (Will the display impact your eye? Will it stay far enough away to not do so? Will the battery cause any problems when wet or exposed to impact/air etc..) probably made insuring the company difficult, too.

I bet the other helmet makers are cutting/have cut deals with recon to repackage their stuff anyhow, so those that want this kind of crap in their FOV can get it.

ISWIM did exist, even if the compiler wasn't there. The lisp community did a lot of work with FP-style code, even if the language as a whole wasn't functional: the idea was still there.

Which, from what I'm aware, is an accurate representation of how Linux is developed in practice.

> If you also assume that people strengthen their own understanding of a topic if they teach it new engineers don't drain resources

In practice I've found this assumption is only true if you have very small growth/turnover. I.e. If you hire a new engineer once every couple of years it's probably the case, but if you hire a new engineer every few months it isn't.

On average I'd say we have our senior engineers spend 40-50 hours total in the first month teaching/helping a new senior dev. Probably a similar number of hours in the second month, and then it drops to maybe 10 hours/month for the next year.

From what I have seen a new senior dev is around 10% of the productivity of a existing senior dev for the first month, 20% for the second, and rapidly reaching 80% by the end of a year.

So they are at 1 unit/hour of productivity for the first month and add 160 units of productivity for the month. However, senior devs, at a cost of 10 units/hr, have spent 40-50 hours helping them at a cost of 400-500 units of productivity.

Second month they add 320 units but cost another 400-500. By the third month they add maybe 450 units and only cost 100 units. And at this point they have managed to pretty much break even.

Of course if you assume training costs are not a real cost but rather beneficial for your existing senior devs then the new senior dev looks productive from the first month. But then you are really just talking past each other.
No offense to the other fields, but as an outsider to those fields, I feel that computer science is a far more varied and creative field than math or statistics.

With programming, you can write programs that use statistical analysis and modeling. But you can write programs that do things that are far less mathematical in nature. A web developer could create a content-focused website, including the backend and devops code. If said developer is far more focused on the content and less on the code (e.g. not much more than setting up WordPress and writing CS/JS and maybe some custom PHP), why should they have to get accredited for that?

It's not that math and statistics are lesser fields, but that computer science (or rather, what's commonly associated with it, such as programming) is a far more versatile and creative field. The difference between being accredited to write a legal opinion, and being a writer in general. But we don't credentialize writing.

> New value is created every day

Not necessarily, and you may be conflating demand for a currency (which controls its valuation and exchange rate) with economic productivity in an economy.

Its not so much, I imagine, about stopping the creation of money - the economic fundamentals behind why inflation is good are obvious. The promise of digital currencies going forward is the hopeful removal of human irrationality from the process.

Would you prefer to trust the Federal Reserve, with all its own internal goals and motivations, to print money "honestly", or would you rather have an algorithm that adjusted the block payout rate to maintain constant 1% inflation in the monetary base, relative to monetary velocity? IE, when the money slows down, which implies money is being hoarded because its value is rising, you print more to offset it, and when money speeds up you reduce the printing speed to try to keep the velocity stable.

> While governments might not prefer anonymous payment methods to exist, they can still recognize that much of the money-using public appreciates anonymous payments at least some of the time.

To the extent that "governments" don't like anonymous payment methods, that's mostly law enforcement/security agencies.

Central banks basically recognize that anonymous payments mechanisms will exist, and prefer that central bank currency fill that role, since the more non-central-bank money is used in practice, the less predictable effect central bank monetary policy has.

The only advantage I see Tesla having right now is experience and mileage, as well as their OTA updates. Nobody does OTA software updates as well as Tesla. They're learning how to make rapid, small changes to their algorithms, championing an iteration-heavy strategy.

Whether this type of learning will allow them to compete with super experienced automakers who haven't yet brought an autonomous vehicle to market remains to be seen.

bash on Windows is a full distro wrapped in lxrun. tmux works, nginx works, most things you apt-get from the Ubuntu repos Just Work. That alone places is far ahead of fucking around with ports or homebrew or whichever unholy combination you're trying on OS X.

And, if you use Ubuntu on the server (or are prepared to hack around replacing Ubuntu on Windows with your preferred distro) is a much better match for your runtime.

I'd like to see their migration strategy as well. I mean, they say moving from pgsql 9.2 to higher version (which then allows online upgrades) is too much work. Yet they'll have to migrate to mysql, which will take much more engineering effort. For anything close to realtime, they'll need to copy the old data, while at the same time forking the new writes into both pgsql slaves and new mysql servers. And they cannot use WAL for that without some advanced processing.

I hope this follows in the next blog post.
As others in the thread have pointed out, the original superhuman cognitive augmentation was called literacy. Literacy indeed was restricted in an attempt to create a permanent underclass. Unfortunately I don't know enough history to have a satisfying understanding of how literacy became ubiquitous in most of the world, or how that interacted with the spread of wealth derived from automation, but intuitively it seems hard to maintain the restriction of augments, especially when the augments specifically increase general intelligence.

Lets look at the salary of Actuaries shall we ?

£ 222,936 - Chief actuary, senior partner

£ 140,814 - Senior function head, practice director

£ 117,343 - Function head, practice head

£ 89,442 - Department manager, managing consultant

£ 80,664 - Section manager, senior consultant

£ 73,043 - Section leader, consultant

£ 66,118 - Senior actuary, junior consultant

£ 52,067 - Actuary

£ 36,241 - Student actuary

£ 33,130 - Recent graduate

Each level is incremental - X amount of work increases your salary by Y amount.

All you need to do pass the exams and you can work in USA + Canada + Europe + India + Australia !

Now being a Chief Actuary is quite improbable - but look at the salary ! how probable is it that
a programmer is going to earn that much after 25 years of experience ? we have all heard stories
of unemployed experience engineers.

Coming from a maths background I really want some answers as to why I choose software engineering

To me the rampant unprofessionalism, the lack of structure, the insane amount of discrimination that is normal due to age, race, gender.

I really want to rage quit and go back and became an actuary due to lack of options for career progression.

Thanks for pointing the memory optimizations out. The Google model trained on 100 billion words unzips as a 3.4 GB binary, which often is a non-starter on smaller servers, while these vectors indeed come in at less than 100 MB. Mainly this is because only the most common 100k of the 3m vectors distributed are in here, but also because 32 bit floats for each of 300 elements per vector are converted to 16 bit floats, with virtually no loss in precision. (Research suggests we may be able to compress even further, perhaps to 5 bits of entropy per vector element.) In practice, across a wide variety of words and phrases, this pipeline can quickly derive new vectors by web searching, and thanks to the OP's HDBSCAN, can cluster them quite well. Typically it's the quality of keywords found online that ends up most limiting the quality of maps derived here, while there's probably room for breakthroughs in the keyword extraction algorithm put together here (which relies on word2vec indexes as a proxy for the idf in tf-idf). In any case if greater precision is needed - like when I wanted to map ~50 really great scientists who deserve all the credit here - one trick that can help is to increase the number of websites to scan per unknown word (e.g. from 10 to 50) in the research_keywords function.

A lot of people in this thread are seeing $6 in revenue next to Apple's huge worth and dismissing it. That's a lot of money, and it is growing.

I guess 'random web dev' means every single web app dev on the internet - dropbox puts sensitive info in the URLs, google does it, facebook does it, yahoo does it. I guess those engineers are just amateurs though.

RFC 5246 makes no distinction between POST and GETs for it's security assurances - as part of the HTTP request, it should be confidential.

This comment is sure to prove controversial among the more rigorous React followers, but i disagree with the anti-pattern claims. Having built a startup on Backbone and React, i find that referencing `this.state` is a fine way to handle data shifts in our views.

While i have read the oft-presented reasons for not using `this.state`, the arguments feel more academic to me than being based in practical examples. Your milage may vary, but in my experiences `this.state` is one of the more powerful features in React. To me, removing read access to component state also removes one of the more compelling reasons to include React into your codebase at all.
The actual summary of the article is "The design of Postgres means that updating existing rows is inefficient compared to MySQL".

Yes, there were some other points that were just extra annoyances for them but clearly that point was the most important to them. It's what the header image and the first 60% of the article was talking about and yet nobody seems to be engaging with that point in this thread.

Is the design choice bad? They never said it was. It's just an engineering trade off. It's very possible that most workloads benefit from this design. But if you workload involves updating lots of existing rows at large scale, then MySQL is going to be a better choice for you.
you should see a checkbox labeled "Auto Proxy Discovery"

In my experience, that box is unchecked by default for a clean installation of El Capitan. So I don't think that OS X is vulnerable (unless that box is explicitly changed by an end user).

I just found this Apple KB https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18553?locale=en_US that instructs users to select that setting if needed. That seems to confirm that the default is off.

The Ars Technica article should have been more nuanced. It strongly implies (IMO) that OS X is vulnerable by default.
