Sure you can. I've proposed how to do it here several times. You can start like Niklaus Wirth with a simple interpreter (eg P-code) + basic, routines for hardware. You write compiler as series of small passes (no optimization) in that interpreter. Compile it with itself. Add optimizations and recompile.

For hardware, you start with simplified CPU like a Forth or ZPU processor. One you can check by hand and eye on an older process node. Reverify it with itself. Then run above step for software on it. Optionally better EDA tools, too.

The diversity method ports the simple interpreter or compiler to a number of CPU architectures or dev tools. Pick whichever you want. If you aim for same binary, you'll need compiler designed to do that or reproducible builds like Wheeler links to up thread.
They did split out costs for day trips separately from hotel stays.

See: https://www.ioes.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/UCLA-Beach-Surv...

"We used a travel cost model to calculate the value of trips to the beach. We found the average day trip had a
total value of $36.74 with travel to the coast costing $22.09, not including expenses at the beach, leaving a
surplus of $14.65. We found the average overnight trip of four nights had a total value of $605.05, with travel
costing $194.41, not including lodging, leaving a surplus of $410.64."

So, the day trip cost is ~$22, which I assume is just the vehicle/fuel cost. It specifically says it doesn't include parking or any expenses while there.
>How about the interior elects some reasonable governments, engages in trying to educate their populace, put some regulations in so they can build some decent communities and try to attract talent -- how about the interior starts trying to compete rather than blaming their woes on the federal government while seeking to increase their outsized (and poorly managed) federal handouts (which gets funneled disproportionately toward their tiny economic elite because of their states rights motivated insistence on the freedom to form corrupt local governments.)

Well, this also requires that the Feds enforce antitrust law.[1]

Prices are set on the margins.

Sales volume in the bay area are low for a variety of reasons (Prop 13, not enough new construction).

It doesn't take many people with high salaries when there is low inventory to push prices up.

If many more houses were for sale, the prices would plummet due to lack of buyers able to pay the current prices.

How would a recommendation system rivaling YouTube's work in a decentralized fashion?

I've taken the approach of converting my models to XML, mostly because they map 1:1 from F#-land to XML-land, and I can use SQL Server's XML Indices, but most importantly, I can use XSLT to evolve my persisted models upon change change to F# code.

Then using a bit of F# Quotations, I can convert most match queries to XPath queries and query SQL Server directly (still work-in-progress).

But running into performance problems, so it's not 100% done.

>1) My friend has one

Having your product out in the world with a brand name on it is a form of advertising, and it works really well because people don't recognize it as such.

Some people do recognize it, which is why they'll do stuff like de-badge their cars, to avoid being an agent of the "my friend has one" or "I saw one" form of advertising. My grandparents found this terrifyingly insidious and tried to be cognizant of and reject it whenever possible. Now we all wear logos without a second thought.

>3) I was at the store a while back, browsing around (of my own volition), and learned about them

Manufacturers jockey with retailers for prominent shelf space (or shelf space at all) as part of their advertising efforts.

Similarly, a storefront with signage in a heavily (foot) trafficked area is one of the most expensive (per impression) ad placements that money can buy.
The Safecast article is much clearer (and certainly less frightening).

As an engineer it's fascinating to me to see what sort of problems a failed reactor bring to table. One of the reasons all of this is new R&D is because its only the second major event in history. Given the relatively small volume of the fuel mass I have always wondered if there might be a way to build a coring drill that could be used to separate from the main mass a useful amount of material, which could then be put into a fairly conventional cask for transport to a secure storage / disposal facility.

For example there has been a lot of study of the 'elephant's foot' which is the column of fuel that froze once it became subcritical underneath the reactor at Chernobyl. Could you repeatedly core it with a system to remove a few 10's of kilos with each core? What about a system that cut basically puck side nodules that you then put into the cask? There doesn't seem to be a lot of papers on how you might achieve this sort of disassembly sadly.

It was the state that defunded the State Beaches, bringing about the day use fees to pay for maintenance, lifeguards, etc.

The prof's definition begs the question.

Humans can be observed recognising patterns, but that doesn't say anything useful about the process of recognition.

It seems we have experiences first, and generalise from them later in terms of our experience. So we have common experiences of threeness, circleness, and redness, and from them we generalise what "three", "circle", and "red" means.

But what defines an experience of threeness? Is it really atomic, or is it made of further component parts/relationships? Is it learned, or innate? How does the labelling process influence the experience/generalisation process? (I'm not sure if it's an anthropological myth, but supposedly there are primitive tribes where counting goes "One, two, many..." What's their experience of threeness?)

The exact mechanics of this pattern recognition remain mysterious. It turns out that when we build NNs to recognise patterns, the process is still mysterious. Which seems mysterious in itself. It's remarkable that we have these tools and they seem to work to an extent, but really no one understands why.
Until I see actual statistics about empty houses, I consider this policy as a useful empty gesture. It's an opportunity for politicians to pretend that they are doing something about housing prices, while avoiding actually doing anything, and hence avoiding the unintended consequences.

Are there no "legitimately" rich people in China? I've been given the impression that the laws and economy are structured such that one cannot become wealthy without taking what "should" have gone to the government/people, but I find this all very confusing. Obviously there are very visible rich Chinese folks. Or is it more comparable to rich Americans with Panama accounts, which there is nothing necessarily wrong with, but we all know that a good chunk of them are probably dodging taxes?

>From what I can see, Vedic Soma makes someone immortal and invulnerable.

Rig veda describes Soma is a hallucinogenic used for intoxication.

1. Intoxication, though not addiction, is a central theme of the Veda, since the sacrificial offering of the hallucinogenic juice of the soma plant was an element of several important Vedic rituals. The poets who “saw” the poems were inspired both by their meditations and by drinking the soma juice. The poems draw upon a corpus of myths about a fiery plant that a bird brings down from heaven; soma is born in the mountains or in heaven, where it is closely guarded; an eagle brings soma to earth (4.26-7) or to Indra (4.18.13), or the eagle carries Indra to heaven to bring the somabo

2. we have seen a Vedic poem (10.119) in which someone exhilarated (or stoned) on soma says that the drinks have carried him up and away, “Like horses bolting with a chariot.”

Ah, well, this is a bit of a contentious question in the Discworld community, with no clear correct answer.

Discworld has a number of major story arcs which are generally able to be read separately although they often overlap, and so some people prefer to follow one of the many Reading Guides out there to determine which books to read and when.

But a lot of us disagree and say that you should go to the very first book, The Colour of Magic, start there, and read the whole series in order, because it lets you experience Pratchett as he evolves from a pretty good writer into one of the best fantasy authors of all time. Plus you get to experience the Discworld itself evolving, as the Disc is broadly an allegory of Earth in the 1700s / 1800s with many of the same technological progressions.

It's important to note, though, that the first few books in the series can be tough to get through if you don't already have an appreciation for what's coming, and some readers are put off by them, but please, please don't give up, you have no idea what you're missing right now.

God, I envy you so much. If I had three wishes, I would genuinely spend the third one on forgetting the Discworld series just so I could once again experience the joy of reading it for the first time.

In applied machine learning not so much. They feel ancient! But some use them to study the physics of computation. They were used to make the connection between renormalization group (RG) and machine learning. RG is one of the main workhorses of quantum field theory and condensed matter physics. The fact that there's a mapping from RG to RBMs means that we can understand how deep learning works by using the same techniques that modern physicists use to understand the world!

>I've come to a hypothesis that technology's purpose is to gently erode the concept of "self"

Centralized corporate-style internet services may achieve that, but many other kind of technologies strive for and achieve the exact contrary. I'm thinking of all the free (as in freedom) social networks that allow people to express their true self, to say what they can't say in their outside social life.

Two aspects necessary for these types of communities to exist I think I've identified are: 1. having a persistent identity that isn't linked to your real life one, and 2. having minimal moderation (either hierarchical or caused by mob mentality). Basically the opposite of Facebook.
That's great, they can make more beaches be like Dockweiler, the most "diverse" on the chart. Where one can currently experience gangs, graffiti, littering and constant violations of the law that the lifeguards and tiny police presence are incapable of enforcing.
I'm not really seeing a rebuttal. Are you disagreeing with my axiom that we are all inherently self-centred and selfish?

If not, I'm actually asking for suggestions as to what societal model could account for it, and still succeed at providing equal opportunity and enhanced quality of life for all. I guess I'm open to anything except the "Savior/Champion will rise" type of models.

The article should have been clearer. The $22 is the cost of transportation to the beach.

The study is centered on how much it costs Californians to travel to the beach. Like, for example, driving from a non-coastal city to the coast. The study specifically mentions that the $22 does not include costs for parking, or expenses (food, etc) while there.

This just to point out that it is considered self-evident in respect of GCC. This is based on how GCC works specifically, not compilers in general. There are certainly compilers/transpilers etc. and similar kinds of software out there where it is not self evident that the output is not a derivative of the tool, and some where the output very clearly is.
Admittedly I'm not an expert in this, but isn't demand for housing relatively inelastic? I have no idea whether 13% foreign buyers is considered high for a city, but it seems conceivable that it could fuel a large boom in real estate. Especially if a lot of these units aren't even being lived in.

I have a hard time believing that Vancouver real estate prices have been driven by 'organic' demand. It's a beautiful city, for sure, but the economy isn't exactly stellar. Canadians are probably overextending themselves, but I doubt the average young Canadian with 60k income can quality for a 1 million dollar mortgage.
Nutty CA.

This will probably reduce the number of beachgoers. Do I want to take my family to the equivalent of a public housing project? Hell no.
I guess it depends how broad you go. For example worked with many female web designers. And qa testers. But ratio of say backend programmers is very very low. Guess your stat doesn't say that.

Loving beaches is great, but the reasoning expressed in the article seems kind of weird to me.

There are plenty of low income families who probably can't easily afford to go to a beach, but at the same time there's also plenty who have also never spent time in mountains, forests, meadows, lakes, etc.

One problem i see with trying to cut or drill into it is that that'll shoot radioactive dust into the air which can be a much worse problem than just "nobody can ever go in there". You can use cutting fluid of some kind but then you've got radioactive fluid you have to clean up. maybe that's easier to deal with? I don't know.

I grew up in OC. While the south county is a bunch of rich people, there are plenty of beaches in the northern part that are totally free, especially if you just park outside the main area. All of the beaches are ultimately free for people just walking in, and many are just free if you know where to go, but I understand why all the rich lawmakers think that all the beaches are expensive -- all the ones they think are worth going to certainly are. For us plebes though there is still plenty of beach.

Also, judging by how crowded the beach is on weekends, I'm guessing access isn't much of a problem

How is a signature picked:
This is arbitrary but should be a fixed sequence that you define before hand. It could start with 'abcd' as long as you decide on that sequence. In the example (and for bitcoin also) it is decided that the hashes should start with a specific number of zero's.

He also says Bob can't give Alice 4 dollars out of thin air right after giving Anders 100 dollars out of thin air:
Anders gets 100 dollars out of thin air because he mined (calculated the hash with the specific starting sequence). This is the reward Anders gets.
Looking for a specific hash such as a hash starting with a certain number of 0's is very computational intensive work. That's why he gets the reward.

Hashing is fast for a computer to calculate one way (go from a piece of data -> a hash) but very difficult and as such slow for a computer to calculate it in reverse (go from a hash to the original piece of data for which the hash was generated).
