Or you can simply think of it as the best "resolution" that macroscopic instruments rooted in 3 dimensions can reduce it to.

I feel like the whole "wave-particle duality" is already a hint that the true nature of reality may always remain outside of our observation capability.

In fact, I think that humans may be a little too biased towards picturing everything as made up of discrete parts ("particles"), and that is probably a byproduct of having visual eyesight. Can't wait to meet alien intelligences with completely different senses and see what they think. :)

I suspect that the reason Discover Weekly is so much better than radio, and is only available once per week, is that it's computationally costly.

Either way, radio-from-artist or radio-from-song can't utilize your listening history. It's quite possible you listen to an artist for different reasons than the reasons most people listen to that artist - in that case, you will get recommendations based on the majority's reasons.

You would expect personalized recommendations to have potential to do much better, and I'd argue that's exactly what we see with DW.

Of course, that's apparently how the game is played. I assumed the French are spying on the Germans and every one else they can install malware on. They just don't have the resources like the NSA.

The NSA enjoys a workforce 20 times larger (60,000 vs 3,000), and a budget 40 times bigger (US $50 Billions). Even the GCHQ (UK) & UNIT 8200 (Israel) have twice more resources.

The NSA probably think its adorable when the French pop up on one of their honeypot servers.

How do you "unplug" bluetooth headphones from one device and plug them into another?
I have never had a bad experience with Bluetooth.

I don't use wired headphones anymore, wireless is just better for running.

That said -- I oppose eliminating this jack. My hearing disabled father relies on it for his custom monaural earpiece.

Why eliminate such a functional port in the first place? As someone who took the MacBook plunge USB-C is a pain in the ass.
I doubt that either HP or Apple will be very happy with this webpage. I expect HP's lawyers to pounce on it first for selling products under HP's brand without being HP. Unless they're an authorized reseller, which I doubt because then HP would be in a lot of trouble from Apple.

They are using the 2009-2010 lower end EliteBooks which means that is also likely that they are using a refurbished stock.

I'm pretty sure this is going to piss off both HP (for showing their logo clearly) and Apple and this is probably not going to last.

There are plenty of "hackintosh" guides out there, anyone who's capable of installing OSX on a non-Apple device has probably better hardware options out there.

And considering that this will never come with a pre-installed OS you aren't saving yourself any trouble buy buying it from them rather than buying the same hardware or newer from any other source.

Well, the primary job of WSL isn't serializing arbitray binary data. And it doesn't fail there either, it only encourages clean syntax by default. But it can very easily be made to serialize anything.

The conventional wisdom is "All problems in computer science can be solved with another level of indirection".
Nevertheless, as stated I will very likely add C-style string literals to the required set of datatypes.

This is laughable. The average plumber makes around $50,000 and will top out around $80,000[0]. And those wadges have flat lined over the last 15 years[1]. Not to mention, it's painful work climbing under cabinets, kneeling down and standing up with heavy work belts, and contorting your body into every little nook and cranny. It takes its toll on your body over a period of time, as does the vast majority of manual labor jobs that are out there. So why would the son or daughter of a plumber go into the work when (s)he sees her dad complain about how the industry has gone to hell? I guess this is confusing to Mike Rowe.

Let's imagine for a minute that an entry level plumber could make $250,000 a year after a year long apprenticeship that paid him/her $60,000. There would be zero problems filling these position with top notched candidates. Zero. So to say pay and benefits are not the problem, misdiagnoses skills gap.

Yes, but P can be arbitrarily hard to implement. This is hard for you to see, so I'm incorporating A into P just as an example of how we can make the spec hard. If it were easy to write programs that conform to arbitrary specifications, it would have been just as easy to verify arbitrary programs, because I can reduce the latter to the former by making the arbitrary program the spec of the new one.

If you want another example of how a spec can be hard, consider this one: "write a program that for every input n, an even integer greater than two, outputs the smaller of two primes whose sum is n". Do you think writing that program and proving it correct is any easier than verifying the 10-liner in my post?

Or even this: "write a program that sorts a list of integers". You know for a fact that that program has a minimal time complexity of O(n lg n). That complexity, in turn, partly determines how hard it will be proving the program correct. You know that it will be easier than "write a program that returns the first element of its input list", whose time complexity is O(1) (actually the difficulty of verification is more related to the space complexity, because the space complexity is a better approximation of the number of states the algorithm must have in order to solve the problem, unless the algorithm can be a pushdown automaton).

A better idea is to have 2 cities - one built with earth quake resistance, and the other not - and give people the choice about which one to live in.

Then it shouldn't take more than a couple of earthquake iterations to sort out the gene pool.

The mistake you're making is to assume it's cheaper to build non-earthquake resistant structures. It's actually just another iteration of the cheap boot problem.[1]

I think in the case of brainwallets, the actual contract with the network is that anyone who knows the password has authority to transfer the funds. When you send funds to a password-based address that is literally what you are declaring. There is no additional "off-book" requirements for accessing the funds like, you must know the password and also be a specific person.

There are similar scenarios but they are also different in important ways. A properly generated private key would have to be first stolen. An improperly generated private key, or an improperly generated signature that reveals the key are technological faults which expose the funds.

But when it comes to so-called brain-wallets, if you know the password then I think you have the right to move the funds.

> That's basically why I don't have a blog.

A reason why I gave up on my own Internet presence entirely, including my own domains was that years ago when I got them I put a lot of effort into them - and got very little people to visit. Multimedia too, and I still think it was actually pretty nice (interactive learning content - I would not use multimedia for what could better be done with text, I love a minimalist approach). The problem was nobody even got there.

I am not complaining! It was important to see what works and what doesn't. I now think it is far better to jointly contribute on a big project/website rather than piecemeal individually. Of course there will always be examples of people for whom it works, this is a "statistical" statement. Part of the reason I in particular got nowhere was the kind of content. Too many people trying to provide learning content, you can see it on Youtube, a lot of channels with sometimes great lectures started big for a few years but now have not been updated in years because the authors noticed the big gap between effort and reward (a few hundred viewers and a few comments).

My conclusion was that I would instead go to sites like reddit (technical and science subreddits mostly) and HN, and if I really think it's worth writing up something larger there are plenty of sites to choose from.

An important part of this is a conscious decision to give up creating my own brand. Instead, it was important for me personally to be perfectly okay, even to actually desire it, to disappear in the anonymity of the masses.

I love these ideas, but they all assume that spacetime quanta, or nodes, or whatever the hell they are, can still communicate and/or change state in some way.

Which suggests internal structure of some kind.

I'm wary of any explanation that says "Well, it's just random", because randomness turns out to be a complicated process.

It's hard to imagine that some kind of prototypical base quantum would be inherently random just because.

I suppose it's possible. But it would be unexpected.
First question: Are your innovations being used on Youtube today? At what date did you "pull the switch" and go over to the DNN-based recommender systems?

I'd say recommendations have gotten somewhat better, if a little too clickbaity still (you saw one video with a squirrel? here are ten squirrel video compilations!).

Second question: Did humans at some point assign names to DNN-established clusters or vector elements or what they're called? Sometimes I get OK recommendations, but with a really bad label (for instance a 100% minecraft LPer recommended as an example of a "shooter").

>In addition, the services and expertise around a given product are usually as important as the product itself

Exactly. A friend and I were chatting (he's a dental surgeon) and it came up that in dental care, many things that cost in the 2-4k in the US or Europe cost about 200 bucks here (Algeria) - same techniques, same materials, same hygiene standards, etc -.

Naturally, I asked him why there weren't people flocking from Europe (it's about 100 euros round trip from here). He said that even if dental care is cheap, everything around it sucks. He said that neighboring countries built the infrastructure to allow this to be possible (specialized resorts that have deals with clinics, etc). Tourism is thought with this in mind.

He said that if you compare that with our country, there's too much friction for your average European.

On a cost based analysis, it's still worth it. Many Algerians who reside abroad get all their medical/dental care and their children's done here when they visit, but they know the country and have family. They're not in a completely unknown territory.

It's not enough that something is technically possible, there are many parameters (even social parameters) that enter into consideration.

What about noise cancelling earphones ? their size really benefits from an external power source - which is in a standard format - so less lock-in games we see in android), they already have a chip inside - so theoretically the new headphone connector shouldn't make them much more expensive, and maybe there's a possibility of co-processing the noise cancelling algorithm on the phone .

Couple that with ,maybe, Apple starting a technology war on that front(and we already see few rivals pre-attack, like leEco, Samsung, Sony) could be a beneficial thing for us.
>2. The US constitution could easily be interpreted as a way that the US government should treat human beings, which means the 4th amendment describes how they should approach search and seizure of any person's property, wherever the US government has influence. Given the internet, influence now extends to computers across borders.

If you were willing to ignore English grammar and definitions, and several centuries of precedent, and many many other things, you could interpret it that way. But it would be ridiculous to do so. The Constitution is "We the people" laying down a basic framework for governing ourselves. It lays out how the government we create will act towards us. It specifically puts foreign affairs (how the government will act towards not-US people) under the jurisdiction of the President and does not extend rights to them.

This is well trodden ground. Your interpretation is facetious.
And when spying becomes counterproductive, should we still increase the level of spying? When US-led coups destabilize a region, does this maximize national security? When US-based surveillance causes a drop in investment, does this maximize national prosperity?

The number of components in rockets and IC transistors are probably roughly comparable. ICs have the advantage that they are making a huge number of only a couple of different things (e.g. transistors, resistors, capacitors). Rockets are composed of a huge number of different things, many of which are totally unique, which makes them much more challenging to build successfully.

Their failure rates are similar, but IC die failures are much less public.

>> " a slightly thicker phone that is 1) Easier to hold"

This isn't necessarily true. You might be able to get a better grip on a bigger phone - if your hands are large enough. Personally these large screened phones (and I have the smaller of the two iPhone models) are too large for me. If I put a case on it actually makes it more difficult and impossible to use one handed. If they were to make it slightly thinner (I don't know how possible it is at this stage) it would be easier for me to hold as the difference between case/no case, despite being only a few millimetres is actually pretty significant.

Stockholm is quite dynamic in terms of its start up culture. There are a number of ways to network within the industry, most prevalent way to do so is Sthlm Tech Meetup.

Salaries are relatively low for engineering jobs (compared to ex Germany), but should be ok in the software space. Ok in this case would be ~4000-4500k€/month for a relatively experienced software engineer. Do note that tax levels are rather high once you reach higher levels of income (50%-55% marginal tax rate). The tax is a pain until you have kids and you pay almost nothing for daycare and schools.

The main thing to be aware of is that the housing market in Stockholm is completely crazy. It is very difficult to find somewhere to live. If you manage to get relocation support this should not become an issue for a while. Be ready to pay ridiculous money for second hand rentals (compared to salary)
