I think it's hard to justify drawing an equivalence between exterminating mosquitoes, which scientists have studied and broadly believe to be safe, and removing most of the plant matter from the oceans. I would not have downvoted you, but it's not hard to understand how you ended up there.

I had similar experience at VMware where my boss just didn't care enough about me. He never assigned me to any good projects, and prevented me from seeking opportunities in other teams, even if was a simple trial for a few months. Further, he was surrounded by his buddies from his previous work place and I always got the feeling that one needed to be in his clique to get any attention. Whenever I approached him for a different assignment he lectured me on how technology was just about sending data from point A to point B in the most efficient manner and he insisted that I focus on my current assignment.

As time progressed, I noticed that engineers who hung out with him often and discussed interesting topics such as good school districts, real estate, investments, sales at frys electronics etc. were rewarded not just with better work but also promotions, some of them undeservedly. When I finally decided to quit there was not even a "thank you" from him or his minions for my hard work. There were several disgruntled employees in my org who never kissed his bottom and they were all treated with similar nonchalance.

Yes, it was really fun, just running around the square and having conversations with strangers. I loved my Playstation 3, but Sony took away all the things I loved about it, one-by-one:

1. Folding at home. I loved letting it run and getting points and looking at the cool night time map of the world with all the yellow dots showing others running Folding at home. I felt like part of something!

2. Playstation Home went away

3. The ability to install Linux went away. There's a class action lawsuit, if I join I could get $7. Wheee.

4. They sent a firmware update that bricked it. I was never able to recover it.

> You lose invariants such as x+y-y=x (associativity and communicativity, in general), so you're no longer talking of a group (I don't know of research on 'almost groups')

Well, you actually just lose general inverses, so there's no sensible '-' operation that can just be turned in to '+ (-x)', where -x is the inverse of x under +. It's similar to the case where you have x * y / y = x except in the case where y = 0 (because there's no 0^-1). (As someone else pointed out, this puts you in to a semi-ring rather than a ring, which is what the general tropical semi-ring is. [1])

You can still have elements for which x + y - y = x is true, and usually that's a well-defined sub-space of x,y combinations. Proofs then usually use a case analysis: either we're in the subspace where x + y - y = x holds, or else we can use a property of not being in that space to derive a different but still useful conclusion.

In some senses, it acts as a Maybe type, and can perform arithmetic without having to unpack that Maybe-ness.

Again, everything you say is is true (which, BTW, is why I prefaced my comment with "Just FYI..."). But the sarcasm/ironic-humor confusion is very prevalent even among native speakers, and in a different set of circumstances it could cause confusion or worse because the implied stance of sarcasm is the exact opposite of ironic humor. Also, HN is a public forum, and comments are read not only by their respondees but by lurkers as well, some of whom may not be native speakers and who might therefore appreciate having some of the subtleties of the language pointed out to them.
You are being condescending and over simplifying the issues, try to not rush to judgment. I have spent a lot of work and time learning how to apply machine learning, so your comment was offensive and wrong. Applying mathematical theory is not just a matter of understanding the theory - in the real world there are a whole lot of reasons why you won't be able to apply the theory, even if you understand it perfectly. You will always have to make assumptions and approximations. I like learning, but I prefer learning for a purpose. Proofs don't really give you a practical understanding of the theory.

> We don't even need to pretend Firefox has any relevance in this particular space.

Browser market share changes widely depending on which capabilities browsers have. Firefox went from 0 to web dominance in a few years because it had a more compelling offering than IE. Then Chrome beat it to its own game. Then IE was kept alive on Windows in parts because Netflix' use of Silverlight. If DRM is kept at the add-on level in some browsers, then those browsers will succeed as DRM restrictions invade the web slowly, and publishers will not be able to ignore those browsers.

Even if Firefox came on board and publishers really started cracking down, I could see a DRM-free fork take hold. It could be called Firefork, actually. :)

Yup.

Caldera started as a legit Linux distro circa 1994-5, but burned through their funds too quickly. As a pivot they bought out Digital Research including their anti-trust lawsuit against Microsoft (for blocking Win95 from running atop DR-DOS). They won big, and the rest is history -- they used a chunk of the funds to buy what they thought was SCO's IP rights, then sued IBM (because that never ends badly, right?).

> Even the borrow checker is from research papers and languages from quite a while ago.

Eh, that's underselling Rust's contributions. Rust is more flexible than anything I know of when it comes to enforcing aliasing-xor-mutability. Cyclone for example was much more restrictive in disallowing aliasing (see Grossman's "Existential Types for Imperative Languages").

The key feature that Rust has is flow-sensitive permissions on unique loan paths, which is actually pretty novel as far as I'm aware.

"You also have the important of gaze. Eye gaze is not only an outward expression of an emotion, it is used as a communicative device – as a tool to interact with others. People turn towards to each other to make eye contact and initiate a conversation."

It will be interesting to see physical body cues (or body language) become "photoshopped", as it were.

At the most basic level, one could simply record oneself saying something really genuine and honest, and then replay the resulting body language when lying to someone in VR.

Many more subtle body cues could also be either recorded/replayed or simulated.

In the physical world people often seek to look in to each other's eyes to determine whether the other person is lying or has something to hide. In VR, of course, what the eyes express will be entirely under the conscious control of their operator.

It will be interesting to see how human interaction in VR changes as a result of these expanded possibilities, which will not be limited by the muscles of the human face, or even the limits of human shape, or physics.

Many new ways of expression are likely to occur in VR in the future. One could argue that this is really not that new, as such things are possible in, say, Second Life, or many MMORPGs today, or even that things like the use of emoticons in text chats are an early instance of this. But I expect VR has the potential to take this to the next level, and seeing where that leads in one or two hundred years would be pretty interesting.
It depends. The Windows 3.x 386 "enhanced" mode kernel was in fact what we would call a "hypervisor" today. A 32-bit hypervisor to be specific. It ran 16-bit Windows applications inside one VM, along with any number of DOS VMs. The VMs themselves were preemptively multitasked, but the design of the 16-bit Windows API prevented preemption in that VM (a problem also faced by Apple).

If you weren't using an "real-mode" drivers then it never bothered to talk to DOS, it just did everything itself... for example the "32-bit disk mode" stuff was a 32-bit disk and filesystem driver that completely replaced DOS disk routines.

Microsoft being Microsoft, if you had DOS TSRs, DOS drivers, or other random DOS crap they would hook those things and drop down to real mode to call them the way they expected to be called... going so far as synchronizing the DOS in-memory data structures before and after the calls to make sure the lie was as complete as possible.
For the data science (DS) program we’re very open to strong quantitative fundamentals without ML experience, as many of the DS roles are focus on analysis. For the AI program, since the focus will be entirely on getting you up to cutting edge of what’s happening in ML, it will be important to already have had experience with the fundamentals of ML. Luckily, for someone with your background, it’s completely possible to build some impressive side projects in a couple of months than can demonstrate your ability to learn ML at a rapid pace. We’re far more interested in how quickly you can learn than your current level of knowledge, so doing a side project and mentioning your starting point prior to the projects will give us strong signal that if we accept you into the fellowship you’ll be able to pick up the necessary techniques.

As an aside: it’s astounding how quickly Fellows with strong quantitative backgrounds can learn when surrounded by other really great people. We’ve had numerous mathematicians and theoretical physicists at Insight who barely touched any data in their PhDs, go on to build sophisticated machine learning data products at Insight and get hired at top tier data science and machine learning teams.

Regarding the location: the initial programs will focus on roles in the SF Bay Area and New York, so we’d like to attract Fellows who are interested in living in either of those respective cities. That said, our network has grown well beyond those cities so I encourage you to apply regardless of geographic preference and just let us know in the application where you hope to end up after the program.

Also, about algorithms, I walk through them a step at a time, keeping track of where things are in my memory. :) Once upon a time I could play an amateur level game of blindfold chess the same way. It never occurred to me that when Walter Browne was playing blindfold chess for money on the beach at Santa Monica before the 1976 US Open, with money and time odds 5:1, that he could actually see the board. I'm less impressed now, but was nowhere near his level anyway even if I could see the board.
I agree, and it can be more private.

So far private is more on level of not being public accessible, but only by invite. Implementation-wise it can be self hosted and safeguarded, like a private instance in public cloud or even on-premises. Options kept open but not pursued at first.

Probably room for tweaking on the tagline, certainly don't want to mislead potential users. Is there a better way to say this in tagline for the invite-only usage but not touching the security sense?

When he's stressed, he gets very, very abusive and takes it out on his subordinates. He's screamed at me, and I've heard him screaming at my co-workers several offices over. He has no control over his temper. He's actually a better person drunk than he is sober. He's warm and friendly when he's drunk.

Also, he gets irrationally angry when anyone calls out the terrible job done by his friend who he put in an architect position. One co-worker of mine at that company... he raised the issue and ended up being railroaded into quitting a couple of months later, and then I'd heard my boss slandering him behind his back a few times.

It's been almost two years since I quit, and I still have painful flashbacks to the way he would yell at people.

But he is fun to hang out with when there's no power differential involved and when he's wasted.

Yes, it does. There is no "right" in language use beyond communication with the target audience. What people understand a word to mean is all there is.

Sturgeon's law is a response to somebody asking "how come most of X is crap, when that's not the case for Y?". The response is that most of Y was crap too, you're just remembering the good stuff.

Please don't tell others what not to do.

First, there are cases where compiling other languages to C or C++ is better than via LLVM; interoperability and portability are two (yes, C and C++ are more portable than LLVM).

Second, I'm not really talking about compiling some wildly different language to C++. I'm talking about some simple syntactic sugar. The same syntactic sugar that would be in an existing C or C++ compiler's front end, except instead of adding it to all the frontends in the world and waiting years, I'd like to implement it just once and now.
