Our customers who are working with multicriteria problems have, thus far, had primarily two criteria, thus we have been helping them manage their two criteria problems into a scalar setting. As such, we do not, at this moment, permit the layers of ordering strategy you suggest through our API. To do so internally would introduce a complicated bifurcation between problems phrased with real-valued observations (as is our standard workflow), and the less informative comparative structure you're suggesting, whereby we would only be able to make statements about the relative order of points and not the magnitude by which they differ. If we were willing to impose a magnitude, doing so would revert the problem back into the weighted combination scalarization setting (or at least some norm-scalarization setting, if not the linear setting discussed in the post). I do not foresee us implementing such a tiered preemptive ordering any time soon.

This scares the crap out of me. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I hope the government regulates the hell out of self driving cars. I want really strong robustness of autonomous systems. The difference between working in 99.9% of conditions and 99.99999% is huge. I'd hate to see corners being cut in the race to get there first, and I fully expect that's what will happen.
> “That means there’s going to be no steering wheel. There’s going to be no gas pedal. There’s going to be no brake pedal,’’

I'm very skeptical of the claim that self-driving cars that work well enough to be fully autonomous are within reach. How do you get them to respond well to really uncommon but dangerous scenarios? Will they pull over safely when they hear an ambulance? If a police officer is directing traffic at an intersection, will they be able to read the hand signals? Will they know to slow down when a ball rolls across the street?

I think the semi-autonomous approach is more promising. The car could automatically take control and pull over if the driver is fishtailing, or drive to the hospital if the driver is incapacitated.
And I was picturing an eight-member pantheon!

Complexity is definitely a barrier for Angular 2 where I work. We use Angular 1 almost exclusively for our existing applications, but are most likely going to be continuing to use Angular 1 and migrating towards React rather than learning Angular 2. We already began using Redux so it's a much easier transition for us.

I absolutely agree with you on the use of appropriate abstractions. One of our UI developers is a huge FP advocate and wrote large portions of our biggest frontend codebase using Ramda, and its basically incomprehensible to the majority of our engineers. I even though it was cool to begin with, but seeing the shape its taken at scale I regret it 100%.
Well angular 2 is mostly written the same way every time you want to build something and is connected through a custom html tag. This allows you to not deal with js that is built 100 different ways for a 100 different reasons. Not just that but file structure is exactly the same always. Basically angular1 was just a step up from JavaScript which seemed nice but really with not much reusability. Plus since you can build components inside components, you don't have to worry about implementation into a project. With RC5s new modules, you don't have to worry about importing into those components. So basically you can easily implement the app into any project with the same components and the same way always. Basically once you make one, you don't have to rewrite it. They even have their own CSS files, and use life cycle hooks so you can have different components fire off at different render times or events. It is basically the jquery of data. Also with easy observables, server side rendering, and simple data binding, you really can do anything. Angular 2 and 1 are night and day.
When you talk about "increase in beehives", are you referring to hives that are managed by a beekeeper, or hives created by wild bees, and not managed by a human? When you talk about "fewer live bees", are you referring to wild bees, or bees in a managed hive? In my previous post, I was only referring to managed hives.
> Don't blame an increasingly inclusive and considerate culture for the continued incompetence of a bigoted few. It's not hard to do good technical work, but apparently it's quite difficult for these particular white men to manage without funding/advocating/practicing bigotry and sexism.

There's no way you can reasonably tie Eich's views on gay marriage to his being a white man, so I'm having a hard time figuring out why you mentioned his race or gender. Among white men, prop 8. barely won, 51% to 49%. Among blacks, it won 70% to 30% (62% to 37% for black men, 75% to 25% for black women). Latinos were 53% to 47%, with men 2% higher than women. It lost among asians, 49% to 51%. I have not seen a breakdown of asians by gender. Supporting prop 8. was not a "white man" position.

(Some other breakdowns of the vote are also quite interesting. In the $30-75k and in $100-150k groups it won, 54% to 46%. In $75-100k it was 50/50. In the below $30k and the above $150k groups it lost, 47% to 52% and 46% to 54%, respectively. It won every age group over 30, and lost every age group under 30. It won about 65% to 35% among Christians, lost 33% to 67% among Jews/other, and lost 10% to 90% among those who say they have no religion. Among Christians it won, 84% to 16% among those who attend Church weekly, and lost 46% to 54% among those who attend occasionally, and lost 17% to 83% among those who never attend Church).

> and a non movable one doesn't make any sense from a relativity point of view

Do you agree that you can't "leave the universe" in the sense of travelling past the information-propagation wavefront of the Big Bang—even in a case where our universe begins to shrink and that wavefront starts to come toward us?

If yes, then a non-movable wormhole can be justified exactly like that: it's part of that same wavefront—part of the topological outer surface of the universe, not an object "in" the universe.
You make a perfectly accurate point that, in practice, it is unlikely one would be able to make such a prediction without significant info about the model. The above comment was meant in more of a post hoc "we've executed our multicriteria optimization, approximated our Pareto frontier, now let's make a decision" sense, not within a specific scalarization context. Indeed sensitivity analysis on the gamma parameter is very important; I tried to hint at that by showing that the interplay of the choice of currency and the gamma on the optimal value is nontrivial (though predictable since this is just a toy problem).

Do you happen to have any references talking about such sensitivity analysis on scalarization parameters? I would love to add them to my reading list. Thanks.

There's additional complexity around if it's a debit account vs credit account.

Thumb-2 (about 13 years old at this point) extended Thumb to cover the entirety of instruction set. That is, every* ARM instruction has a corresponding Thumb instruction (The converse is not quite the case)

There is very little reason to use ARM code in ARMv7 and up.

Incidentally, ARMv8's 64-bit mode (AArch64) adds a whole new instruction set, called A64. It's fixed width 32-bit per instruction, and the only option for 64-bit code.

You stated the valid reason why physicists do this naming. The mathematics is analogous. This means that by studying the different system (eg. the wormhole in the lab), the physicists are probing the mathematical structure of the theory of the original system- except that studying the different system is easier than the original system. Actual wormhole physicists then might learn from this research to understand how wormholes might behave.

Why this is a recent trend is because only in the past few decades have experiment technologies improved to the point where exotic systems can be physically simulated in the lab using simple systems. My own research is partly of this sort and so we have fancy names too, but I assure you that, at least in my group, no one cares one bit about our research being published in pop-sci magazines
If you want to work there so desperately, then read "Cracking the Coding Interview." Past that, it's about getting a response from a recruiter or getting someone who works there to refer you. Once that's done, you should perhaps look into other (better) companies. You can use sites like Glassdoor, Comparably, and Paysa to get insight into what it's actually like at these companies (ie, you may hear something you don't like).
While I don't know if this is the right path for the kid, or if he really is a genius (from the article he seems very smart) your comment comes across as mean spirited.

Terrence Tao is an example of a child prodigy who became a famous mathematician, although I would say winning gold in the International Mathematics Olympiad is a more objective standard than admission to Cornell.

>People overestimate the positive impact of technology. Of course in Silicon Valley you're considered crazy if you don't believe technology solves everything. But it's not as simple as that. My grandparents for example, had no internet, no Facebook, no iPhones. They're doing great and have led very fulfilling lives. Most of the positivity in their lives came from their relationship with each other and their kids. Of course they are only one example, and that is not a lot of data. But we know that there are millions of people in Silicon Valley right now who have the fastest internet, the most amazing social media apps, they are young and can take advantage of all the modern technology in existence, and yet they might feel isolated and be totally depressed in their lives.

I mean, technology is probably not going to make rich people's lives better at this point unless it removes some substantial annoyance. I suspect that like money, there's diminishing returns after a certain point.

But, for someone who has never had internet before, to get connected (one of Mark's three stated goals in the video) is life changing.
Then what makes a worm-hole special? I always thought it was that a worm-hole made a smaller path between two points than could normally exist in plain space.
I'd figure there's a lot of ways that you can damage or try to disable/steal a driverless car, or simply vandalize out of boredom or inability to sympathize with the owner, so much so that these cars probably wouldn't want to service many not-well-off neighborhoods.

So, serious question: Are driverless cars such as these going to represent a new front in dividing the rich and the poor? If they are touted as benefit to public transportation, the poorest need public transportation the most.

Driverless cars will mean cars can use both definitions of redlining.

The fact that they were able to replicate their success multiple times, just like Einstein, and that they're all smart, just like Einstein, says that there's probably some aspect of talent involved in their success.

If it was purely based on luck, without any talent involved, you'd expect billion dollar companies to be more evenly distributed, and not cluster among certain individuals.
This is why Google is training their cars now in the real world to handle all of these kinds of things. Here's a Ted Talk [0] from 2015 where the head of their self driving unit makes the case for full autonomy vs. semi-autonomous because the semi-autonomous is good enough where people trust it, but not good enough to be trusted. Kind of like what happened where the Tesla driver went underneath the truck that wasn't properly detected.

> It seems like we ought to have switched from CISC to RISC.

If you ever have a question about computer architecture, ask two questions: 1) where does the memory bandwidth go, and 2) where does the die area go. All else follows from this.

RISC only made sense when CPU clock speeds were at rough parity with central memory speed, on-chip I-caches were limited, pipelines were short, and compilers were only good at modest optimizations.

If you look at functionality per instruction byte, RISC is fairly low. In today's world, CPU clocks are hugely faster than memory speeds, on-chip I-Caches are huge, pipelines are very very deep, branch prediction hardware is very good, and compiler back-ends are much much smarter than the peak days of RISC. CISC wins because the amount of functionality that you can move into the I-Cache per clock is higher and the amount of functionality you can keep in a given amount of I-Cache die area is higher, and compilers are good enough to target specialized instructions efficiently.

Is what Intel has crammed into X86 impressive? Yes, very. And it was damn hard work. I can tell you that walking all the way out to byte 15 of an instruction to look at the MOD R/M byte to decide if you have to raise an illegal instruction exception is a painful long path to squeeze under the clock constraint. But breaking backwards compatibility is just not something customers will put up with. So logic and circuit designers get to ply their trade in it's most convoluted form with the X86.

Perhaps these days I should amend my question list and add a third: 3) where does the power go? This is where ARM has an advantage over X86. The equations that you have to resolve to issue an X86 instruction are simply more complex than for ARM, and all that bit-flipping consumes power.

If you gave people money, they'd want to do something with it, like improve their home, and they would then run afoul of the various regulations up there.

It's probably the most rural and isolated area on the east coast other than northern Maine. I87 had almost zero phone service north of Lake George due to cell tower siting regulations. That only changed because a Orthodox Jewish couple traveling from Montreal senselessly died of exposure after a minor car accident. That incident triggered a big uproar in the community in NYC and elsewhere and led to a change in the rules.

Calling BS on this. I've started several companies and opened Wells Fargo accounts for all of them within days of incorporation. Now, if you are talking about _borrowing_ money from the bank I think it makes sense to have to show some businesses financial history. Simply to open an account : in my experience all you need is the relevant incorporation paperwork and some money.

Hmm...I am not an expert in GR, but absent some other constraint, lorentz invariance is a local theory, right? Not a global one...

I mean, I send two light beams simultaneously, one directly to you, one off angle to a mirror which reflects and then reaches you too[0]. The direct one reached first because it had a shorter route, they both travel at c...we don't violate lorentz.

I think you're referring to a topology that would allow closed timelike loops which would imply grand father paradox issues? That doesn't violate lorentz which is local and doesn't care about global structure, but it leads to logical inconsistencies (which is global, I think...)? Enlighten me. Again, my expertise is not GR.

The article refers to wild bees, not managed.

Regardless, a better metric to consider re: managed hives might be annual colony losses, not total quantity of active hives. Of course beekeepers can make new hives. Thus far they are thankfully able to keep up with higher and higher losses each year (and honey and pollination prices are continuing to rise as more energy and money is put into raising bees instead of bee products).

This spike in losses is more recent than the varroa introduction. Graphing out one positive metric and pretending things haven't gone weird with honeybees in the past decade or so seems misguided.
yea, this is like seriously old news
