The is intense. I've often thought about the Russian Venus lander. In the same vein I occasionally think about what could survive deep within the Earth. Of course I then immediately get tripped up wondering if any useful satellite could be made to work within the Sun, and that's where I realize I should just think about something else.
I'm an Indian and can verify that. A lot of scumbags keep winning and hold onto power here usually by hook or crook. In fact even the prime Minister modi was on a mass murdering case of Gujarat 2002. He was the chief minister when the riots Happened!! That guy has still not even apologized or said sorry to the families whose people were killed. The current govt has the largest share of criminals in power. There are some honest players coming up. We'll see if they are really honest in a few years.
Latency is the biggest issue with ipad for me. Laptops and desktops respond almost instantly when you type or scroll, while ipads and other tablets have a lot of latency built into the OS. I know an extra 20-60 milliseconds doesn't seem like much, but it definitely adds up, and it really ruins the feel of things.

When you read a physical book, you can flip through pages instantly and scan the contents with zero wait time. A laptop is much closer to this ideal than a tablet.
This suggests a lucrative area of legal practice: suing for negligently failing to automate.
It's about making tradeoffs. If MongoDB works for you (I actually enjoy using it tremendously) then I have to ask myself am I ok with its non-perfect integrity. For my use cases this isn't a problem. I'm not working with customer data or anything where losing a few records would make any difference at all.
Why is that contradictory? It only seems contradictory if you expect government regulations to reliably (i.e. on net) decrease market inefficiencies. That is certain a plausible argument, but it needs to be made rather than just assumed.
You're right; I was thinking more of HD wallets where you don't choose the seed.
While IBM has made some good acquisition * , the executives are either clueless or too busy with infighting. Their wild flailing around has caused several good acquisitions to be squandered and if the "blue-washing" (aka. onboarding) doesn't alienate the staff, then neglecting the product and asking them to work on/with horrible IBM technologies will.

NVidia would be doomed instantly, but it might take a few years until the effects were felt.

* I believe when this happens, distinguished engineers or architects were consulted and their advice was followed.

Yes, which is why I listed him. It should underscore the problem with them being out of control when even the president who pushed for their creation couldn't curtail their abuses.

This brings another question. Would it be better given the likely use cases for WebGPU to be designed as a WebAssembly only API?

The Article doesn't cover basics of Criminality of Indian Politicians.

These are just two example in last week from 1 south Indian state caught on camera (Because Local media would not cover since pretty much media in state supports ruling party):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOueUSVSuYk [1]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hG2fqW-tcM [2]

Very rarely criminality of Indian politicians comes out because Media do not want to cover it. These showed up because someone could record. But in both cases, elected representatives and their goons are already out of trouble.

India is a land of lawlessness and that's a reality.

> If Apple want to help, let them base WebGPU on Vulcan.

Literally the whole point of the WG is to design a low level GPU api specifically for the web with security etc in mind (i.e. not just "give javascript direct access to the GPU" like Google's WebUSB and WebBluetooth proposals) that can be backed by whatever GPU library is on the platform: for Window's that's DirectX (do you really want a web app to tell you that you need to update your GPU drivers to get support for Vulkan?), on (mac|tv|i|watchOS) that's Metal, on Linux its.. um.. Vulkan I guess or perhaps OpenGL or who knows what else people decide to install?
Yes, a few.
> In fact even the prime Minister modi was on a mass murdering case of Gujarat 2002. He was the chief minister when the riots Happened!! That guy has still not even apologized or said sorry to the families whose people were killed.

I think you should stop whatever you are doing and get appointed as a judge in the Supreme Court of India. Obviously you know so much more than what they know or have deduced about criminals in India, much less the PM.
Not everyone has an .ogg decoder to know what that link was pointing at. From my perspective it looked like a broken link to some jokes.
> I was expecting to see Rust - I thought it was a considerably 'hotter' language than reflected by its current use in the wild.

Rust is pretty hot on Hacker News and r/programming, but even working in a systems-language-heavy field, I haven't seen too much mindshare (outside of some friends at Mozilla). It is kind of a shame, both Rust and D are doing really cool things, and I'd love to see more penetration!
Opera might disagree.
I stayed at a hotel in a small town in Arizona recently when traveling home from visiting my father. The town was hosting a 'tractor rodeo' and the hotel was full of participants and fans.

I was surprised by how strong the pro-Trump talk was in the public lobby and breakfast room. I am a life long Democrat, but I believe in respecting other people's viewpoints. I thought it was sort of cool how enthusiastic people were about Trump.

The article was making a hypothesis that people hide their support for Trump, and thus he can poll lower. I can believe this since since there seems to be a lot of over the top verbal aggression by some democrats who can not accept a political loss.

I think that Trump's large victory in the electoral college should motivate those of us on the left to get our political act together. I am still pissed off at the DNC.

Your last example is an instance of the other class of employer I mentioned. They are clearly abusing the system. I would love for the H1-B to be fixed so that they aren't able to take advantage, although I think the law of unintended consequences may well kick in. The proximate thing that would do for the H1-Bs I've known is make it so that they aren't sweating bullets to see if they got lucky in the lottery.

Re: future value being zero, um, no. You can argue that the expected value is low, but it's certainly not zero. I personally am financially independent because of Twitter's IPO, and I've been through another IPO since which has made me money. People at Google did well in their IPO, Facebook people also did well. Some IPOs people didn't do so well (Box is the most well-known recent example, but there are many where people ended up with 10's or maybe 100's of thousands of dollars when they were hoping for millions -- still not zero tho).

And speaking of lotteries -- lottery tickets generally have lower expected value, but even in this example there are exceptions.

Then there are the startups where you don't go public, but get acquired by a public company. Those often net the staff something meaningful tied to hitting a post-acquisition milestone. They may not be directly tied to stock (common shareholders get wiped out), but it is correlated. So even in some significant percentage of the failure cases you aren't wasting time negotiating for more stock.

At any rate, if you truly believe stock is worth nothing and should be completely discounted, fine. You're not Bob. Bob believed differently, behaved according to his belief, and most importantly Bob did better financially because of his decision -- and in a relatively short time frame.

> If there really is excess demand for a kind of labor, then the labor can borrow enough to pay for it;

You're right, but the reason that doesn't happen is that the price (ie, expected future earnings) is effectively fixed[0], and the current trajectory of that is already on the threshold of discouraging people from entering the field. As it is, a person who enters medical school at the age of 22 can reasonably expect to pay off their final student loan payment in their 40s[1]. That's a pretty hefty gamble to take at that age - you're assuming (against all evidence![2]) that medicine will continue to pay roughly the same in the future as it does today, and based on that assumption, you have to be willing to take a gamble that won't even break even until you're past normal childbearing age. That's a really tough sell, and I say this not hypothetically, but from experience.

It's similar to the "engineering shortage" in Silicon Valley - we know for a literal fact that the largest companies colluded to suppress wages, but simultaneously complain that they can't find enough workers that price. Except, we don't have to take out large amounts of debt before we can start working, whereas would-be doctors do.

[0] Not exactly fixed, but far from an actually competitive market that would allow proper consumption smoothing like you describe

[1] There are a lot of factors that determine this, like which specialty you choose, and where you practice, but that's a pretty reasonable rule-of-thumb estimate for someone who's still only thinking of applying to medical school in the first place.

I disagree a little bit, but agree with you in part. You're drawing a distinction between codebase tersity and business processes.

See my other reply here about Direct Development. One of the better ways to do APL development is to write your codebase in such a way that you don't just onboard other developers, you onboard the customers as well. You don't just talk about business processes and then have some IT team turn that into code, the customers themselves work off the code together with the developers directly on solving the issues of business process. The result is that the code literally reflects the needs and expressions of "why" because that's the document or artifact in which the customers write their business processes down. And at that point, tersity matters. It's important that semantic density of the code keeps computer science-y stuff away from the customer, and brings the domain vocabulary of the customer to the fore in the code itself. You can't do this if you have your code littered with words and vocabulary that the customer has to parse and work with. The words that the customer sees, i.e., the variable names, should, ideally, only come from their own domain. In this way they can follow the code and see how the data flows.

That's the way to make business processes the core component of everything. You're reducing the development cycle down to a singular point, or very close to that.

There are a number of papers on this, but this idea of "user pair programming" has been successfully used in a number of APL projects, and is often the basic interaction/development methodology through the community.

And I would argue that the most important thing about the code base is that it accurately expresses the solution to the needs of the user, that it is capable of shifting with the needs of the user as quickly as the needs of the user change, and, finally, that it be as easy as possible to verify with the user that the code in fact is an accurate solution to their needs.

You could say I care more about whether the users can get what they need out of the code, including verifying that the code is what they intend, than about how easy it is to onboard other developers who are separate from the customer. That's best achieved by making the code easier for the user to read, rather than easier for the broad range of developers to read.
What is in it for you? I can not see a reason to bother.
I've noticed that too. I used to do that myself, until I hit some of the worst turbulence of my life flying in to Denver a couple years ago. Whacked my head pretty hard on main cabin ceiling (the plane dropped ~20ft without warning and I didn't). Ever since then I've worn my seat belt for as much of the flight as possible.
In order for a contract to be considered enforceable both parties must receive consideration[1]. When you worked at the company your consideration was continued employment.

Were I in your shoes I'd ask for an amount of consideration with what you believe is commensurate with a "reasonable" value. If this is a small sale, something like $10,000. If it's a large sale, $100-200,000.

The point being that if they want you to sign away your ownership rights (real or imagined) they have to give you something in return or it's not a legal contract.

Contracts absolutely require that both parties get something of value out of the exchange.

In general, there probably isn't an issue. However, it is very important that you understand anything you sign. In IP assignments the thing I am most careful about is the indemnification clause or clauses. It is fairly boilerplate to include language that says "you assert that you have the right to sign off this IP, and if someone later challenges that right you will indemnify they buyer against any infringement action brought against them."

That is what is think of as an "open ended" indemnification which is to say, you sign this over, then later someone sues them for patent infringement. Even though you had no idea somebody had patented the idea, you might be on the hook to pay the legal costs or licensing fees to make the buyer whole again.

So make sure the document doesn't say indemnify anywhere :-) And as others have said consider having a lawyer look at it.
This seems like an argument for argument sake. Our ISPs (not mine anyway) doesn't learn our detailed correspondence patterns. Google does. It reads my email and throws out ads. Seems trivial to decide who respects my privacy more.

Also, if ISPs are "tapped", you have a problem at the government level. IMO, privacy issues and government intrusion are not something technology can beat. Forget home servers and decentralization and usb sticks - If it's in your head, any determined government will waterboard that information out of you.
That may possibly work, but is uncertain and potentially requires a huge amountvof sifting over months.
Try actually reading the article. That's not really what it's about.
I use Regus business lounges for this. They have office spaces in most major cities all around the world (at least 15 in San Francisco alone). You pay a reasonable fee per month (around $100, although you can also get free if you look for the right offers) and you basically get access to a lite coworking space, with desks, power outlets, a kitchenette stocked with coffee/tea/snacks, good Wi-Fi, etc. Sometimes people use it for meetings (I've overheard more than a few VC pitches in San Francisco) or just getting things done. I also use it when I'm traveling in a place that doesn't have reliable Wi-Fi or clean water and I need a break to relax and be productive. Western style clean bathrooms in China are good perk as well!
I have another theory. You don't get votes in India. You buy them. A wannabe politician needs a lot of money to win an election. Criminals who have made money through bootlegging or by beating up people have a leg up in this respect. Once they get to power, they indulge in corruption to pay off the people who helped them win and to save for the next election. The next election, they have more money to pay the average voter so his competitor needs to be an even bigger criminal.
Kubernetes deployments are done via yml (or json) files too. They are called manifests.

I think you are misunderstanding the tools listed. Minikube sets up a single-node local cluster. Kubeadm sets up a multi-node cluster. No matter how or where your cluster is set up, you still deploy with manifests.
what a coincidence. just the other day i kind of stumbled across the situation with apple and vulkan and was totally mystified. why would apple, who was a supporter of vulkan, not implement drivers for it, and in effect block the possibility for a universal webvulkan standard and all the glorious benefits of it? lo there was a reason! i have to say that i think apple is being a complete dunce. so they refuse to implement vulkan drivers, or even modern gl drivers, and now their next move is to create yet another graphics api? the success of which would depend on everyone else supporting it when apple wouldnt support stuff? apple has enough money (tax dodgers) to support other standards. they should probably do that and do it well before telling everyone else what to do. /rant

I find Apple Inc. as annoying as the next geek does, but I agree with them here. It's rarely -- possibly never -- a good idea to tie a web API design to a desktop API (see, e.g., WebSQL). The web platform is too different from desktop platforms for any nontrivial functionality to port slavishly to it.

Moreover, web standards last much longer than typical desktop APIs. Do we really want to take a snapshot of Vulkan's API today and live with it on the web for the next couple decades, as desktop Vulkan continues to evolve?

It's better to build a web API that is fluent for its target platform, taking care that it's possible to implement it performantly on foreseeable host platforms.

Let Apple lock themselves in if they want. Don't lock the web into Vulkan.

> something tells me that if the entire country switched over to Medicare overnight, vaccines would quickly get much more affordable.

Quite the opposite - if the entire country switched to Medicare overnight, Medicare would have to dramatically increase its reimbursement rates, or else hospitals would literally go out of business, and doctors would close up shop. The only reason most can afford to stay in business currently at all is that they can make up the money the lose on Medicare by treating patients on private insurance.

This would result in extreme tax increases - not the proportional amount that you'd expect to cover the remainder of the population, but enough to make up for the difference that's currently being subsidized by private insurance premiums.
This. No 2D image of most of van Gogh's paintings can match the real thing because the 3D texture of the paint is such an integral part of the experience. I discovered this when I visited the van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. The 2D representations look lifeless to me now that I know how much more visceral the paintings are when viewed in real life.

I think you are confusing "not paying his taxes" with "legally declaring a loss as a tax deduction to offset future earnings".

Yes, it was a bigger deduction than most people, but it was technically and legally within the tax guidelines - guidelines that were left alone by past administrations. If you want to be made at someone that Trump didn't pay tax, blame the tax system and politicians that made it possible.

Thanks, insightful questions.

You're absolutely right about combinators and long-range dependencies. We have a special block type in the high-level API (https://github.com/tensorflow/fold/blob/master/tensorflow_fo...) for accumulating results here without having to explicitly shuttle them around; not perfect but very handy in many cases.

Regarding your second question, the equivalent of padding in dynamic batching is "pass through" do-nothing ops, which are introduced transparently but worth being aware of if you want to understand the machinery. The worst case scenario here is chains of wildly varying lengths, where we need to add pass-throughs to the shorter chains to match the length of the longest chain.

I recall a story from a Russian aerospace engineer describing a Russian unmanned probe to Venus. They mounted a camera and arm to the probe to take pictures and to measure the chemical composition of the planet's surface. He said the camera cover popped off at the appropriate moment to land exactly where the arm hit the ground. They got a very good measurement of the camera cap's chemical composition. I'll see if I can dig up a link.

Found it... actually the arm was to measure the compress-ability of the Venusian soil

What's privacy?

Privacy & identity are two sides of the same coin.

All the data about me is me. It's my identity, my self.

I have the right to control what is publicly known about me.

I also have the right to know how any data about me is gathered and how its used.

That's privacy. And identity.
It should be noted that demand is not a static quantity. If a technology allowed a person to create more per-unit cost will be cheaper, raising demand (people on the bottom will still lose jobs, but it's not linear).
