I'm getting confused at this point. I thought you were claiming she didn't contribute to the software because you said she showed up after it was frozen. Now, you say:

"The fact that Margaret Hamilton wrote code for the AGC, and led programmers who wrote code for the AGC, is not in question. "

It at least appears contradictory. In any case, you said she didn't contribute to Apollo software, specific ones were frozen, etc. What are your primary sources on those claims so I can review them?
I wish there were some external visual cue like a light or something to indicate a car is using autopilot. That way you could give them a wider buffer.
what makes me choose AWS, is i can survive a year using it without paying too much money, while in GC you got 300$ to spend in 3 months, which would get you more powerful machine for this period but you should start paying after it
so if you really don't have money to start with, you have to choose AWS

If stoicism is a kind of proto-Cognitive-Behavioral-Therapy, and CBT improves depression, it really should. Gratitude is IMO very important to improve depression, and stoicism could help with that. Personally I must say that the negative visualization that Irvine proposes causes me problems rather than solve them, because it adds anxiety. Also, imagining things worse than what you have does not automatically make all things right - you can still long for a better version of your world while imagining a horror scenario.

Accepting reality as the only possible (and thus, best) reality works a lot better for me.

Identifying misalignments in my views of other people (or the world), which lead to negative knee-jerk emotions or general low-tune malaise, is another "mind hack" that works for me, but I would not necessarily call this stoic - but a CBT therapist might suggest that.

WebRTC can help apps/browsers communicate with each other, but it still relies on out-of-band signaling.

There are plenty of libraries for WebRTC for native apps on iOS, Android, and desktop OSs -- and they all interoperate with the built-in Chrome and Firefox implementations.

However, to set up the calls, you need to get data between those clients, and WebRTC doesn't do that.

You are right, T would be nicer than np.tranpose. But the first google hit on 'numpy transpose' [1] doesn't give that as as example.

Also you too made the same mistake: np.array([2,3,1]).T doesn't do anything, you need np.array([[2,3,1]]).T

Before golang, my experience with compilation was about building softwares as an user in gentoo, and a few LFS. Speed of compilation was the first thing that stroke me with golang. But then again, it was the first time I was actually writing code to be compiled.

Is it that usual C/C++ opensource projects are very big, or am I correct to assume golang compiler processing go code is indeed really faster than gcc processing C/C++ ?

It's not true, and it's basically sensationalist nonsense. The scope of human intelligence hasn't even been mapped yet and we can't even accurately formalize things like natural language.

Saying AI has a long way to go is like saying an electron is "pretty small".
Even as someone who agrees Roe is doctrinally problematic, I think Obergefell is a straightforward equal protection issue. Marriage as a construction of the state has always primarily been about property rights, not procreation. In the Anglo system it is seen as quasi-contractual. In a system where church and state are seperated, that's the relevant purpose of marriage. Gay marriage bans violate equal protection because they preclude gay couples from entering into those economic arrangements.

Procreation is a red herring. If the government wanted to encourage procreation, it would tie the benefits of marriage to actually raising (which both gay and straight couples can do). The fact that marriage isn't tied to child raising suggests any putative arguments based on that are pretextual.

It's a tempting conspiracy theory, but there are a few reasons that persuade me it's very unlikely.

1. Researchers build careers based on reputation. The reputational value of "cured cancer" (even for some small subset of cancer) is probably worth more than a lifetime of developing treatments.

2. Also, some motivated researchers have lost family or friends to the diseases they're working on.

3. Also, many researchers are simply not working at for-profit companies.

All of the above can be filed under "profit is not the only motive for curing diseases (even if it's a powerful one, it's not the exclusive one)." A different tack:

4. Many lines of research have unpredictable results. Studying a virus to develop a treatment may uncover a key weakness that results in a cure. Foundational research often is too early to prioritize a use, and breakthroughs happen in unpredictable ways.

5. There are a lot of players involved in research. A big mix of for-profit companies, NGOs, and governments might have to collude to avoid developing impending cures. So if there's an reasonable next step for global research, it'd be a bad gamble for a company to avoid it, hoping that no one else would pursue it either. ie, If you can get there, assume others can too, so just claim the credit.

As a mathematician myself I'm inclined to say "everything's applied math", but it's really not the case. Physics studies and seeks after the basic laws that govern the universe. Physicists find mathematics very useful in these pursuits. But ultimately physics studies the universe and employs mathematics thusly. In theory, physicists could use other tools than math if those other tools were as useful or (preferably) more useful. I like to think of mathematics as the study of logical systems. That's how you can have mathematicians that specialize in biology, physics, music, and so on.
It's so amazing, I was wondering if it's a computer simulation or for real. Great job!

I'm not sure where I'm being inconsistent. Both AWS and Google have broad spectrum of fully managed services. There are places where Google lacks and AWS doesn't, and there are places where Google is superior, or where AWS lacks.

In both cases, there are partners that enrich these ecosystems.

Actually, yes they are. You just register your aircraft as an experimental aircraft and bingo you're free to do repairs, maintenance and modification to it as you like. However, as an experimental aircraft you're restricted from using it for commercial uses.

Experimental is fantastic for private pilots and families. In fact, Experimental aviation is where the majority of the small aircraft market has moved to, as well as /all/ of the progress.

EDIT: also, you can purchase a certified aircraft and have it reclassified to an experimental as you will. Some people to it to things like Cessna's in order to change the engine/props. Though it's much more common to start off building an experimental from scratch.
You have a live OpenGL preview.
Furthermore, you can render the scenes in lower resolution for editing the movie, and then switch the low-res clips with hi-res ones.
However, rendering reflections and refractions, particle effects, fog, motion blur, etc. in HD resolution still requires a lot of processing power/time
I don't know of that. But with Pytave, which is fairly mature now, you could embed some Octave computations inside a Jupyter notebook. I haven't seen anyone do this yet with a lot of seriousness. There's also Kantor and TeXmacs which both have used Octave as a possible backend. I haven't checked recently to see if they've been well maintained.
Human HIV was discovered probably 5 decades if not more after it jumped.

We know it didn't originate in humans, because we can estimate how old SIV and HIV are based on their genetic material and other factors.

And we also know how old SIV at least is because we've tested primates on isolated islands and found that they are also infected, so if you find SIV infected primates on an island that was isolated from mainland Africa 30,000 years ago and it's preset within 100% of the primate population you know it's at least that old.

Another thing you can do is look at the DNA of the host and see if any viral DNA has been embedded within it, depending on where it is you can also estimate a timeline based on known processes and mutation rates.

There is very little to no doubt that HIV originated from SIV, the question is why now.

And yes we've discovered SIV later because AIDS happened then we found that it's a virus and not because they are gay, so people started looking at it's source and discovered SIV, FIV, EIAV and others.

You also need to understand that viruses are very hard to find, it's not like you just look at blood samples and see them, there are also not that many generic tests that can simply detect if a virus is present or not, it takes years to decades to isolate, classify and then develop methods to identify a virus and it's not like in the 1980's you could just order a full genome to be sequenced at will.
If spread is reducing is it viable to simply manage this out over the long term? Or is that unrealistic.

What's wrong with:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> m = np.array([[0,1,0],[0,0,1],[1,0,0]])
>>> v = np.array([2,3,1])
>>> np.linalg.solve(m,v)

array([ 1., 2., 3.])

No need to transpose, as numpy handles row and column vectors identically. Using the above variables `m` and `v`:

>>> v @ m # treated as row vector
array([1, 2, 3])

>>> m @ v # treated as column vector
array([3, 1, 2])

Where `@`, for those who don't know, is the matrix multiplication operator (`np.dot`) introduced in recent versions of python 3.
That's baffling. It's happened before multiple times, and Obama really should know that. Anyone have a conjecture as to what's going on there? Does he in fact not know? Is he somehow confused? Is he just lying? Were the previous examples secretly invalid? Is there a meaningful distinction between this case and those?
I didn't say she did not contribute to the software. I said that she was in charge of program development after the software was frozen, not that she showed up after it was frozen. And minor (but important, since the software was so fragile and critical) changes were still being made after the freeze.

Confirmation that she was still not program development director as of March 28, 1969 (which was only a few months before the Apollo 11 flight, with the software in pretty deep freeze) can be found in the header of the listing of said software.
Wait so 29hrs GIVEN the server farm or 29hrs of computing time, thus requiring a server farm? Can't be the former... right? Wouldn't that mean decades of computing to render it?

And that was part of my question too: Given the rendering time faced by dono, would someone like he have access to technology to distribute this over a few machines/in the cloud or is that something that just big studios have the capacity to do?
Yes, sadly grand-parent appears to have been downvoted for posting one of the most insightful comment so far.

To be fair, the authors did enlist Tajmar's paper in the state-of-the-art but they do not discuss despite it being the most relevant prior art.

For anyone who knows a little bit Tajmar, if there was a tiny hint of a possibility that this effect could be real, he would definitely have pursued it; after all, his self-admitted goal is nothing else but to discover the warp-drive... That being said, he is no crackpot and the thoroughness of his article confirms it.

Incidentally, in a similar HN story a couple of days ago I shared my suspicion about spurious contributions from thermal drift, and unsurprisingly I see this was also the number 1 suspect for Tajmar. Beside using thermal barrier to mitigate the problem, he also went from electro-magnetic damping to oil damping and found completely different results. Meanwhile, the Eagleworks guys are still using an EM damper, working right next to a strong EM field source.
The 9th amendment explicitly says that just because a right is not enumerated in the constitution, doesn't mean it isn't there. I.e. individual rights are protected by the constitution whether they were spelled out or not. I can't think of a better indication from the framers that the document was intended to be interpreted liberally, to err on the side of individual rights rather than legislative power.
Excellent. I see it fit to change the URL to this one.

On a tangential note, the NYT article has no extra information and sources this openly accessible link. I think it's outrageous the Times has the guts to put this article behind a paywall (if you're over the 10 article limit per month) given that there is so little extra to see.

Don't get me wrong -- I understand paywalls but semi-blatant copy/pasting and then asking for money is not the way to go IMHO.

That said, go read the original if you haven't (not directed at revelation) it's much better and more detailed.

I'm not implying anything other than it's plausible there may be some variation among ethnic groups in terms of applied intelligence - which is roughly the current scientific consensus.

Just Google the Wikipedia article for 'race and intelligence'. It's quite clear there is still a lot of ambiguity.

FYI - I believe cultural issues are the primary driver - in which case, your articles would support that thesis: Africans from African perform very differently on so many measures than African Americans, which might lead one to conclude that the issues is not 'racism' (I'm assuming Black people from Africa would face the same kind of racism as African Americans, rather culture/ethnicity.

The human eye has an incredible dynamic range (>20 stops). It also have very high resolution at the point of interest. I seriously doubt that Tesla's cameras are anywhere close to the performance of the human eye. LIDAR can also make up for deficiencies in the software. The human CPU is also probably a little more advanced than the one driving this car so anything helps.
Why wouldn't you? You can fly IFR with a paper map and a few instruments.
The real problem I have is the low network performance. Yes, yes, before everyone jumps all over me and points to Jupiter etc.. I understand the problems in Pb/s bisection bandwidth for the large datacenters. That doesn't change the fact that I don't need an entire datacenter worth of stuff.. but I do need an Amdahl-balanced cluster. So big machines with wimpy (20Gb non-RDMA) networks prevent me doing my HPCish workloads on GCE.

Followed by waiting on GPUs and other user accessible accelerators of course.
The source of that claim she and her team were behind both programs' code was this paper:

http://klabs.org/history/history_docs/mit_docs/1711.pdf

On p20 of PDF reader, it says this:

"Names notable here are Dr James Miller for the first lunar program SUNBURST, Dr Frederic Martin for the Command Module program COLOSSUS, and George Cherry for the Lunar Module program LUMINARY. These last two were the programs used for the lunar landing missions... [next paragraph] Much of the detailed code of these programs was written by a team of specialists led by Margaret Hamilton. The task assignments to these individuals included, in addition to writing the code, the testing to certify the programming element met requirements."

Goes on to say they had to be error free and were. That was what the NASA press releases and other writings on her team said was essentially their specialty. Consistent so far with claims about her if that author got the right information from the right people. It's hard to say without talking to him about where those claims came from. I do note he's writing on behalf of the laboratory named after one of them (Draper) citing that guy's work along with other solid-looking references. Edit to add that I just noticed his name in the Apollo code you submitted. He apparently was on the team, too. Now I consider his write-up authorative.

I think that's kindasorta of reason for Ng's preference: students will focus on the subject of machine learning and not spend time on the ins and outs of Python and Numpy (or these days TensorFlow). It's the same sort of pedagogical approach that keeps SML as an active teaching language.

When someone googles Matlab/Octave there won't be the same mixture of contexts as there is for Python. With Python there's "2 or 3?" before even starting. Than Cython or Jython or PyPy? That's nothing against Python except that in one particular time limited context, the questions are a distraction {without even considering the complaints of students when the choice of Python implementation is contrary to their opinion}.

One of the privileges of living in the west is that as harsh as it may sound we don't live to feed or clothe ourselves like people in many other parts of the world do, sure if you lose your job you can't pay rent, but you have considerably better means of adaption.

And hey if automation is such a threat to the skilled and educated labor force that all of a sudden all these highly paid developers are out of a job we might get more and better teachers.

As for the Nike thing, we might cut out the middleman but honestly more likely they'll evolve to be a service provider so your local shoe store will have a specialized 3D printer developed by Nike or Asics.

You'll still need people to develop the tools, you still need people to do research into new materials and production techniques, you still need advertisers and managers, a lot of hard and soft skills jobs aren't going anywhere they just are moved to a different place in the supply chain.
I'm not a physicist, so my understanding of this is shaky. Can you explain to me how the ESSW paper could possibly have been seen to "disprove" PWT if it doesn't make any different predictions? Isn't the assertion that particles take deterministic paths a prediction?

Both the Wingsuit and gyroplane suffer these attributes too, yet there are many enthusiasts actively engaged in them.

Note the potential altitude of the Xjet (1970-80s version) is 10,000' and the operation-time is near 45 minutes - not trivial! The usefulness of the gyroplane isn't terribly extensive, and the Wingsuit less. Affordability seems a valid point of discouragement, but with modern availability of material, manufacturing, etc., maybe not. Sidenote: A former room-mate was building a gyroplane in our living room.
