Well, I think a lot of it is because not everyone has historically had emacs mode defaulted in their shell. Lots of people who learned to use the shell in ksh (myself included) probably share similar feelings towards the emacs bindings. With that in mind, ctrl-a makes a lot of sense when you're not in emacs mode. `set -o vi` is a wonderful command ;).

Deep Learning Research Review: Natural Language Processing
People can afford to spend X on a house per year. After expenses the rest caverns a loan at some interest rate. So roughly 2.25K per year / ~0.05 = 45k lower property values. Or 4.5% drop on a 1 million dollar house which is a significant move. Over six months you would gain some vale from inflation making a 3.7% in line with expectations.

However, this assumes people mostly buy property to live on. You get a stronger impact on investment property which is why people are predicting 15% or so.
We discussed this paper in our reading group last week[0]. I think the key to understanding what's going on here is figure 1(a). The fastest learning happens with true labels, and the slowest with random labels. Shuffled pixels is the second fastest. I believe the reason this is happening is that given training data composed of structured images, the convolutional architecture heavily favors learning filters which reflect geometric features, as opposed to random filters which can memorize the data. This results in fastest learning with the true labels because the geometric features correspond to the learning target, but for memorizing random labels, geometric features have lower capacity than random filters. On the other hand, it learns shuffled pixels pretty fast because the convolutional architecture makes it easy to capture a color histogram and learn off that.

Just a wild guess - you said opening for processing. Depending on what you're doing with the file and how you're opening it the whole data get's passed over the bridge resulting in some catastrophic memory allocations. I would recommend tapping into the bridge communication and start checking if everything stays where it should. Some picker modules tend to send base64 encoded file beside the URL.

I think the most powerful feature of C++ is templating. Templating makes it very easy to write high-performance math code (no dynamic function calls, everything unrolled by the compiler...).

Just have a look at the state of the art math libraries in rust and compare it to something like Eigen or Cgal. The C++ code is way more flexible and expressive than the rust code. If you don't believe me, check how the rust libraries handle matrix implementations. Often you will find specialized implementations of 1x1 to 4x4 matrices but no generic n-dimensional matrix code.

Vancouver's market isn't really comparable to the Bay Area. They have actually been building quite a lot of new housing, and have been for some years. Vancouver's real estate boom was mostly caused by foreign buyers (Chinese) using it as an investment vehicle and a place to park their money. This is a reason why Vancouver is among the top 2 or 3 most unaffordable cities, because the median wage (~60k CAD) there doesn't support owning a family home, which could easily be over a million CAD.

I doubt a foreign buyer tax would have much of an effect on the Bay Area, since much of it is driven by internal demand and high salaries. On the other hand, places like Sydney, Auckland, etc. have similar problems with foreign buyers and could probably benefit.

Wasn't aware yaml could do this, but in terms of organisational power, basically, my prime example which i've only mentioned at a high level so far would be to record all my travel information, because every time i have to fill out a visa form that asks, "which countries have you visited in the last 10 years" i usually end up going through passports. But this is the start for these things, I will later want to make indexes for photo/video archives, etc.

but back to the example at hand:

if i wanna know which year i went to country x, boom! query

if i want to know where i went between 2005-2008, boom! query.

if i want to know when i used a certain visa (e.g: multi-entry visas) boom! query.

this gets difficult with flat files, not saying it's impossible with something like denormalised CSV, but i'd have to write my own scripts (or string together a frustrating sequence of bash commands) for these things.
People seem to think willpower is something you use to fight against yourself but I feel it's actually a way to fight with yourself.

An example of willpower is to stave off peer pressure, or living a life you believe in despite the inconveniences it might entail.. like not using Facebook or something, although I guess that's also a form of peer pressure so maybe my 'example' would also be a sufficient definition...

So the guy clearly believes that alcohol is a good way to unwind from stress but he may also believe that he should hide his drinking, thereby he was willing to go through all that trouble (being tipsy all the time _and_ hiding it) by exercising willpower.

Your beliefs shape the flow of your life, willpower is how that flow overcomes obstacles (e.g. peer pressure, circumstances) or a way to nudge the direction, thereby slightly changing your life. If you want to quit a substance dependence you need to change the underlying pattern, swim out of the rip instead of against it.

How I Increase My Google Adsense Earnings with Matched Content
Most people use tmux locally, because their terminal emulator doesn't do what they need it to do, or the window manager doesn't do it. Using tmux locally merely supplements the window manager. I stopped using tmux locally after switching to i3 (and I believe any other tiling / proper wm would do). Now my only use case for tmux is on the server where I'm running weechat. When sysadmining, it's eaiser for me launch few terminals in my window manager and ssh to the same server, then running tmux remotely. It's simply a question of ergonomics, how many sets of keyboard shortcuts do you need to remember to handle a multiplex... eh, window manager running inside a window manager?
I'm surprised that this has a material effect. I can't imagine that someone who is willing to buy a $2M home not to live but to park money from overseas is somehow not willing to pay $2.3M.

In addition, the article fails to mention the Empty Home tax implemented by the city. Homes that sit empty (for speculation or other reasons) are taxed 1% per year.

The Bay is driven by vast numbers of Google and Facebook millionaire hopefuls, who are willing to pay 60% and more of their salaries for single rooms in dilipidated apartments shared with strangers, and to endure uncomfortable hour-plus commutes, in pursuit of their dreams.

High competitiveness among the few thousand who actually got rich would not fall on the middle and working class so heavily.

A huge number of people willing to pay most of their upper-middle-class salaries for a standard of living we would call poverty in any other region, on the other hand, makes even poverty-style living too expensive for the Bay Area's actual poor.
Part of that is probably Facebook getting into more emerging markets that previously had limited connectivity - probably why they're getting into the infrastructure business.

Vancouver's real estate boom was mostly caused by foreign buyers (Chinese) using it as an investment vehicle and a place to park their money.

Although foreign buyers do have an impact on the Vancouver housing market, I think people really overestimate the effect it has.

After lots of discussion about hoards of Chinese buyers, the BC gov't started tracking purchases. It peaked at 13% just before the tax (and most of that was concentrated it the top of the price range).[1] Also, that definition of foreigner is just someone without Canadian citizen or permanent residency. If you live and work in Canada and are on a work visa, then you would still count as a foreigner (which I don't think is fair).

That means only 1 out of 8 homes were bought by a foreigner and 7 out of 8 were purchases by resident Canadians.

What people seem to ignore is the absolutely shocking way that Canadians are overextending themselves when it comes to real estate. It's a "now or never" mentality and mortgage products like the ones that brought down the US economy are becoming more and more common in Canada.

The foreigner tax is likely the straw that broke the camel's back when it came to the Vancouver real estate market. Even without the tax the market was about to turn.

> On the other hand, advertisers need to make money to survive

Brutally honest here: I don't care if the advertisers survive. I do realize that at some level, a consumer has to be made aware of a product in order to purchase that product. The problem IMHO, there is too much advertising overall. I'd prefer more effort went into making quality products, than into manufacturing the need for more unnecessary products. Obviously, this is a pipe dream.
It seems plausible to me that the author of _some_ software would have copyright of that software's output. For example I assume the authors of a 100% non-interactive, real-time rendered audio-visual art piece (c.f. demo scene) would own the copyright of the output (e.g. a movie file), even if someone else runs the software.

Another example would be an interactive game. Here the player / user contributes a certain creative input, but still some game developers retain the right to stream gameplay (=distribute the output of the software which uses certain copyrighted assets?).

I guess a game like Minecraft might "cross the line" to where some of the output (any elaborately voxel constructions) might plausibly be owned by the player.

Maintaining weath is something weather family's teach their kids. Avoiding losing the fortune is not that hard, but requires a focus on doing so. Further, family's tend to spread weath between members. If you have wealthy friends and hit bad times then plenty of people may help you get a leg up. But, if you are the only person is a circle with weath you end up helping a large group which can't help you back.

As an example, a weathly family friend may help with tuition. Or funding a business venture, which is how people may go broke and then become rich again.

> Brute-force memorization is
typically not thought of as an effective form of learning. At the same time, it’s possible that sheer
memorization can in part be an effective problem-solving strategy for natural tasks.

I like the conclusion. Basically neural nets are just beasts with too many parameters and they even show you don't even need that many parameters to fit any data set of size n. This is one reason I think neural nets are kinda a dead end. People don't understand them and it is impossible to get any explanatory results from them and based on these results that kinda makes sense. Neural nets don't learn, they just memorize.
They're also created all the time by radioactive decay which happens in common building materials. So yes, they'll be flying around your room now, but not going much further than that.
What makes you think they (and others) don't?
Imagine the Canadians who bought in the last 6 months. They probably purchased thinking it was a great investment and if they didn't buy now they'd never be able to afford a home in Vancouver.

And the shocking thing is just how big the losses can be when homes cost >$1M. If you buy a $200K home and the market drops 10%, it's a $20K loss of your down payment. A lot of money, but something manageable for most people.

If you bought a $1.5M home and the price dropped 10%, that's a $150K hit to your pocket book. And 10% is a small drop in an overheated market like Vancouver. It wouldn't surprise me to see a drop closer to 20-30%. That's a $300K to $450K loss for those home owners.
Overall I think these ideas are super interesting and may be good in the long run. But I'm also curious about what the unintended consequences will end up being.
I don't know. They might've just chosen a bad example. But it seems quite unconvincing since it's using the exact same example that is already used by the willpower-exists way of thinking.
