First, there was my mother. She was a programmer back the days when opcodes were programmed in octal. She thought life was great when she got an assembler. She had one CPU she worked on where the instruction set could be changed with patch cords! Then she moved on to neural net programming. (That is, she became a stay-at-home mom and raised my brother and I, which I'm pretty sure was a harder task than programming.) She had a master's degree in math. Growing up, she helped with learning to think in a mathematical way - not so much by "teaching", but just by life.

The second was my first manager, Mary Deyo. During the interview, she said "I don't see very many computer classes on your transcript". It's true. I majored in math and physics, and was largely self-taught in computers. I figured that was the end of my job prospects there. But she had a masters in math (like my mother), and was largely self-taught in computers. She hired me despite my (lack of) transcript. My whole career (probably) comes from her taking a chance on me.
At Dropbox we use different machines for training and inference, as their computational needs are so different. We train on Amazon GPU machines, while we deploy on our own Dropbox compute infrastructure on CPU machines.
I meant that historically, Walmart's money-making pursuits were not bastioned mainly on technology, but supply chain and leveraged buying positions. This does not preclude them from having highly-competent specialists (e.g., technologists) to support these operations. For example, Google has a stellar legal team, but is still an advertisement technology company.

In fact, I think that Walmart had a lot to do with the standardization of UPC codes, which is a technological innovation for sure. Depending on your definition, everything could be a technology play, which makes for a far less useful term.
This really comes down to a "moral health of the citizenry". In Germany and the Netherlands these programs work. In the US, less so. If you were to take a %100 data based approach, and not take into account the choices of people, you would no longer be studying sociology but rather mind control. If you have a way, that actually is effective at changing peoples behavior, regardless of what the people want then that is mind control. Do you think that mind control is what we need in order to fight global warming, or do we just need to become better people?
I think I get his point though.... even if it is not articulated well:

The GOVERNMENT'S actions against illegal immigrants and pirates is bad.

but the ACTIONS of individual pirates and illegal immigrants are not necessarily bad

Certain groups hate pirates and lose profits due to them

Certain groups hate immigrants and lose "jobs" to them....

Name a fucking job that a mexican worker is currently doing that you would do?

Would you pick tomatoes? Lettuce? Will you cook me a burrito? Will you wash my dishes? Will you make me sushi?

I have long said, if the Mexican Rapture happened, you will starve to death....

IMO that is their point. Why build a wall when literally 90% of our nutrition-economy depends on Mexican HARD-WORKING people. It is lunacy and ignorance to say anything different.

I say that the Mexican-American population have a week of protest and just not go to work to show the freaking population exactly what constitutes the foundation of this economy. It surely isn't wall street.

Celebrity chefs are what % white? How many people do those people feed?

How many mexicans/foreigners in Mar-A-Lago? (sorry what language is 'mar-a-lago'?

Jesus! only a moron would think that mexican HARD working people in the US are a problem... how about the largess of the oligarchy?

FWIW, gender equality is a serious issue in all fields (including software development) in this country and I feel it is both important and worthwhile to keep this top-of-mind. International Women's Day and this page are both working toward that goal... This surely is just as relevant to the site as the "Decline in Sexual Frequency Among American Adults" article.[0]

One of the vulnerabilities on the iOS page is from a team I had founded a few years ago. I certainly do not recall us getting a check from the CIA.
I actually have a similar commute right now (more like 5 minutes by foot). My apartment is just a block away from the office.

As an aside, if you ever find yourself in a situation where it's possible to do this, I highly recommend taking the plunge, even if it means paying a bit extra in rent. It's been life changing for me.
For Logistic Regression we find human readable config makes a lot of sense. It's pretty intuitive if there aren't too many features - if the model starts behaving weirdly, we can sometimes track it down to a change in a single feature using this (especially when viewing recent git diffs).
Bubble has an API connector that allows to connect to various third party APIs and integrate them into your app (including Github, Spotify, Banking etc). They also opened the possibility for users to create custom plugins with visual elements and workflows using JS code, so that changes the game completely... Although you still can't take the code outside of Bubble, it looks very attractive to build an MVP or even full blown product there.
> Actual code from a makefile I wrote. Junior devs can’t handle overuse of new tech.

Most devs can't handle overuse of new tech. It seems like the junior qualifier was put into place in order to get away with this bit of hypocrisy.

The introduction of new tools will absolutely lead to increased cognitive load until the entire team is familiar with it.

There are a lot of nice things in arm. Ie slightly less register renaming.

For example, Jim Keller estimates a fully developed arm chip will be 15-30% more efficient than an equivalent x86. Now, this development hasn't happened yet, but with giants like Qualcomm, it will happen eventually.
It could indeed be the explanation: if nothing else changed and there were simply more single people, then that would be the entire cause, problem solved. In that case you can investigate the question "why are there more single people" instead of the billion other possible causes of "no sex" like intimacy problems, technology, pornography, etc.

Instead, this thread is full of speculation akin to the most click-baity of science journalism: relatively boring paper goes in, crazy theories come out.

I can imaging cases where you'd want code to run in a browser without the unpredictability of garbage collection.

Also, modern Javascript has been the only available tool in browsers, but that doesn't mean it's a good one. asm.js and WebAssembly are making it easier to introduce new, and in many cases, better tools.
What's suspicious about that? It's certainly hosted on their intranet, they just picked a sensible name that employees could remember. The publicly-registered devlan.net is probably unrelated or unused.

That's a good market for this sort of thing. One of my local chains will also pick for you and you pick up at the store. Anecdotally it doesn't seem to be used much but I imagine you provide a good example of a case where people are fine with driving to the store but don't want to do the actual shopping.

Best martech site ever
The killer feature for Instacart in NYC is that they will deliver Costco to you. Typically at Costco you're buying more stuff than you can carry, so you'd take a car home, and this would cost $20-$30ish [0] plus you'd have to carry your heavy groceries from the car to your apartment. So a lot of times Instacart is actually the cheaper option.

[0] This assumes you're in Instacart's target market, aka rich yuppies who don't live in East Harlem
I don't really think you have to be in the upper echelon of consumers to afford the occasional grocery delivery. It's more about not being in the bottom echelon, i.e., you definitely do need to have some disposable income every month.

As with many personal finance questions, it's very hard to make straightforward comparisons because people spend their money in such drastically different ways. The person going out to bars every weekend might express exasperation at the person ordering groceries through Instacart every other week, without realizing that they're both spending the same amount of disposable income but on different things.
My guess is they did market research and concluded that this interface was somehow the one their target demographic preferred.

If I had an app to write and learned that customers were most likely to buy it with a UI that involved waving the phone and grunting at it, I'd just shrug and build it that way.
I think it ends up being a relatively boring outcome, because then it would very strongly imply that some previous step between organic sludge, and intelligent tool users is very VERY unlikely to occur. It would be good news in a sense, because it would imply nothing sinister about our future by comparison to past species, but it would be lonely.

In the best estimate, I suppose you've seen that version of humanity in the various "Ancients" or "Proteans" and other first races in sci-fi.
> Blame the people who continue to hold up SunSpider as a useful benchmark.

As opposed to some other benchmark, that gets some other micro-optimizations? I'm not sure that's productive. That said...

> "(For example, did you know that every major JS engine now has a daylight savings offset cache, something which is entirely useless for any real code, but substantially speeds up the date benchmarks in SunSpider? Bleh.)"

I'm not sure this is without benefit for me. I store time stamps in UTC in the DB, and pass them along in that form to the client, which then converts to local time. I imagine this might benefit the sometimes hundreds of conversions the client does in my case?

Edit: Maybe what we need a something like the Fortune 500, but for webpages. Take the top 50 web properties(by whatever metric), and allow them to submit benchmark webpages that approximate a real world situation. Facebook would have one that loads a canned sample Facebook account, Google might have one to approximate search results, one to approximate docs, and one to approximate gmail, etc. Only allow new submissions once a month or quarter, but index them so we can see performance over time, performance against older technology, and how technologies change over time.

> MSVC compiler doesn't do SROA, as far as I know.

Yes, it has since at least 2010 (and probably earlier). See "scalar replacement": https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2009/11/02/visual-c-...

> Have you actually looked at that thing? It's not a Point struct, I can tell you that. There's nothing abstract about it.

The Vec classes can be used as Point structs.

> If you want to take advantage of SIMD fully, you need to lay out your data in a very specific way. A Point {x,y,z} struct doesn't naturally fit a SIMD register.

So pad it out to 4 fields, using homogeneous coordinates.

> Now, if you're willing to make a lot of assumptions on your compiler, you can do something like this: http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/maths-lib-2016/

That's not making a lot of assumptions about your compiler. The x87 floating point stack, for example, has been obsolete for a long time.

> If performance really matters then your abstract solution is almost certainly suboptimal and it's not good engineering practice to use it for the sake of readability.

I disagree. Let's look at actual examples. "Almost certainly" suboptimal abstractions are not what we've seen in Rust, for example, which leans on abstractions heavily.
I definitely like the GraphQL idea, it has been out from since 2015. But the adoption and real-world application usage of GraphQL is quite low. What's the reason is GraphQL too raw or too complicated to get started with to replace REST APIs ?
Female here! I "went my own way" about three years ago...and it's awesome! I'm not a cat lady either...can't stand the things.

I won't deny radical Libertarianism had a lot to do with this decision, but it's basically this: if you find someone you adore, spend time with them. Have sex with them if you feel like it. If you guys don't make each other happy at some point, do some solo traveling. Spend time contemplating alone. Hang out with different people. Then, come back together.

It's incredible how much new, interesting shit you'll have to talk about when you live this way. You may fall in love with each other all over again.

I don't know if it's true that we "don't know how to relationship" anymore, rather, we're relationship-ing in a way that doesn't serve modern society/reality/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

There's one unifying feature of all common law legal systems - judges will publicly almost always proclaim they do not create law, largely because simple prima facie interpretations of most western constitutions say "the legislature makes the laws, the court enforces them", and the existence of judge made law has always had an uneasy relationship with this.

The reality in Common Law legal systems is nothing like this, and judge made law through interpretation and application of precedent is a very real thing, even in the USA. As a particularly blunt example, in some parts of the UK such as Scotland, the traditional common law crimes such as murder/theft etc aren't even defined in primary legislation ("laws"), and exist solely as judge made and applied creations through decades of precedent. Even where there exists primary legislation, the scope of judicial interpretation gives a great deal of freedom to judges to establish precedents that the drafters might not have foreseen or intended.

Heck even the definition of the term "Common Law" is normally interpreted to mean "Case Law" as developed by judges.

Good question!

In retrospect, I should have explained that section differently. I will probably revise that section of the text (that's what I love about arxiv).

We don't want the recurrent terms "h_{t-1}" to dominate the output of "z". But we don't want to get eliminate the recurrent terms because without "h_{t-1}" the output of "z" will not be sequence dependent. So the "tanh" term is included to allow the recurrent terms to change the sign of "z".

I don't know if that helps.

Thanks!
Version control for law drafting and other dev-like tools is something that http://www.openlawlib.org is working on.

I think there is a strong push for standard provisions, definitions, etc. The problem is that while every relationship is similar, there are always enough edge cases that forms are often only good as starting points. W/r/t to building knowledge bases for law firms, parsing existing contracts so that they are searchable and usable as sources of knowledge is a hard problem.
True. But then you have to deploy and maintain that CNN yourself.

The value prop is similar to, say, Twilio. Though, arguably, it's easier to run your own pre-trained CNN than it is to replicate the telephony, VoIP, and video conferencing stuff Twilio provides.

Also, presumably Google is hoping that they can continue to train and improve their CNN so that it's always just a little better than the best free-to-download ones.
In fact, if you are using pow specifically to "square a number" in the sense where you could replace it with x*x, it is guaranteed to be something you can determine statically (and probably pretty easily) - or you're already doing a lot of unnecessary work.
Agreed. These conversations are important and relevant.
Although I happen to agree with you, please understand this logic does not apply to children. You are monkeying around with t in the s domain here. It's just a different ballgame. Everything else you do has a certain limit (you can only train for so long, each episode you binge is 44 mins, you can only reasonably eat your fill, etc.) but kids (especially early on) are like air for the vessel of time - their needs and wants will expand to use every last second and then some. They will cost you mindshare when you are not remotely near them. They will change the way you allocate present and future resources including time. They will never let you completely sleep. Please note that none of these are complaints (except maybe that last one) - these are merely the constraints of this domain.

It's a good question. Whoever is responsible for the road/bike lane should probably be doing some traffic counts to see how things are working out, but who knows if they've bothered to collect the data.

One problem with just going by your impressions is that cars take up an awful lot of space and a road can look full of cars, even if they don't represent a majority of people. On the typical NYC (or Boston) street, pedestrians outnumber cars 10:1, but get much less than half the space. For another example, the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago has 7 lanes in each direction, and two subway tracks in the middle. The subway can (and likely does) carry more people than all the expressway lanes.

Another problem is that in urban settings specifically, the capacity of a road is pretty much always limited by conflicting traffic at intersections, and so the exact number of lanes doesn't actually make a difference as long as it's enough to feed cars through the green lights at an optimal rate.

Right, please don't take the above as critique of writing up a project like this - it's a fun thing to do.

But even if your grandmother could use this, she wouldn't be able to use in any meaningful way in order to increase security around secret messages.

The only case in which such a project (or an equivalent one that generated a self-decrypting executable that asked for a password, or something like[1]) - is that if the file received isn't a trojan, the data in the file remains secure until decrypted for the first time. But as there's no way to know the file isn't a trojan, unless it's been transmitted via secure channel, it doesn't really add any security.

On the other hand, their A10 chip is roughly on par with the performance of the Intel chip they include in the 12" MacBook. They're not going to replace an i7 with an A10, but maybe replace the M3 or M5 with an A10, replace the i5 with an A11, and shoot for the i7 with an A12 or A13. Why else would they dump so much money into making the fastest ARM chip on the market? The iPhone doesn't need that much power, but they keep pumping it up anyway.

Lyon, France. About a 5km commute.

- Bike: about 15-20 minutes mostly on bike paths or dual use paths.

- Run: about 25 minutes but usually make it out to 50-60 minutes to get a more serious run in.

- Kick scooter: about 25 minutes.

- Mass transit: about 20-25 minutes by metro (subway) and then tram to a station about 500 meters from the office.
Take leadership roles at early stage startups. Find non technical founders that are looking for a CTO or VP engineering. Sell your skills, experience, wisdom, and yes age. You'll have to balance architecture, coding, and managing. At your age this is probably the best bet - to continue coding but also stay relevant and not compete with young coders. In short, leadership roles are your best option.
I think by "competition", they were referring to Amazon, not Jet. Buying Jet for 3 gigabucks could still be worth it, if it can help Wal-Mart vault into serious online competition with Amazon.
