People use Python for finance and time series because of how easy it to read in the data. There is a library called pandas which allows you to read in a txt, csv, or excel file easily and do any type of array manipulation you want. The pandas library is written in C++, so it's basically a python wrapper.

Conversely I don't think C++ has this same type of library for reading in data in a single line.

While C++ is faster than Python overall, for most financial simulations Python is definitely fast enough.

That or the proliferation of ever larger numbers of large aircraft has kept us in the usual homeostatic situation, but with an ever-larger (growing) pool, so that the lives sacrificed in order to restore full attention to safety go much further, over many more aircraft. Only once you've hit max airliners can you judge whether homeostasis has been eluded. Until then, increasing safety is most likely just one more consequence of increased economic scale (and concomitant efficiency), rather an independent change. Same with the price of the tires.
Look at the values of the people who ruled a mere hundred years ago. It's a damn good thing for "savages," women, LGBT folks, etc. that ruling classes, no matter how authoritarian, eventually abdicate by dying and that the next generation views the world a little differently.

Could you imagine being governed the way that your 500-year-old elders deem fitting? We wouldn't need violent extremists to try to reimpose 16th century public morals. They would simply never have left.

To support this, you have to believe we are perfect now, that there are no more controverises between the young and the old that the young need to win. Otherwise, this is one of those moments where society pulls up the drawbridge, comes full circle. We'll have leaned so far into science and technology that the next time the elders cry "Witchcraft!" they will never go away.

This is what happens when you vote Republicans.

Republicans will do anything for profit. This is their core driving force. For them, money determines value for everything. "Who gives a shit about anything else? We should reinstate slavery because it would increase profits! Also, poor people are terrible people!"

Democrats believe profits are nice and all, but isn't the end metric on value. There are a lot of other variables that determine overall values - happiness, time, profits, cleanliness, murder rate, etc. Notice that this includes profits, because profits isn't a bad thing.

If you value things like the environment, then never vote Republican. Always vote Democrat.

Putting it negatively, the myth of eternal return states that a life which disappears once and for all, which does not return, is like a shadow, without weight, dead in advance, and whether it was horrible, beautiful, or sublime, its horror, sublimity, and beauty mean nothing.

[....]

If the French Revolution were to recur eternally, French historians would be less proud of Robespierre. But because they deal with something that will not return, the bloody years of the Revolution have turned into mere words, theories, and discussions, have become lighter than feathers, frightening no one. There is an infinity of difference between a Robespierre who occurs only once in history and a Robespierre who eternally returns, chopping off French heads.

For how can we condemn something that is ephemeral, in transit? In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine.

There are many potential future outcomes, and it's reasonable to think about them and to try to mitigate certain possibilities.

Let me rephrase then:

If you evaluate the written history of humanity, there is the unavoidable trend that humans will create tools which replicate and obviate human actions in a more optimized manner.

Stone Tool > Controlled Fire > Shelter > etc... to the point that the ultimate boundaries of human capability including things like creativity (Generative Adversarial Networks are the frontier right now) - which is one of the few remaining distinguishing features of humanity by the way - are being mechanized.

Eventually they all will be, because there are people like me trying to make it happen.

So while you are right that it's not inevitable, you can rest assured that we're working hard on it and the trends are in our favor.
I've seen that at Sam's Club, and at a couple grocery store chains, but nobody seems to use them at the grocery store. I did once.

I wish Costco would do this too. The lines at my Costco are huge no matter what day or time I visit. Sometimes I'd like to go in just for one or two things, but I decide to get it somewhere else at a higher price just to avoid standing in line behind a dozen full carts. Self-scan would fix that.

I see people are getting outraged on both sides, but the thing is we really don't know anything about what happened.

>Buytaert capped off his rebuttal by implying there's more to the story than Garfield indicated. "What makes this difficult to discuss, is that it is not for me to share any of the confidential information that I've received, so I won't point out the omissions in Larry's blog post," he wrote. Within the Drupal world, the air of mystery created by Buytaert's insinuation has only served to heighten the controversy.

So there is missing information. Community projects, ones where you are having to make important decisions and interact with many people, require many positive attributes. This may be a case of discrimination for their private life, but it may also be a deeply vested ideal that seeps into their work.

Transparency is also a double edged sword for Larry and the org, too. If he really did confess that he believes women should be subservient to men, should you put that in a blog post, or just let them go? I think letting them go is a much more proffessional and moral method, so they can continue on without a worse stain.

Hot damn, this got a lot of points, but no discussion.

The basic TL;DR is that they figured out a thing that works really, really well as a neural implant material (a mesh). They spent a lot of time figuring out the ideal details for this mesh, and a bunch more time looking at how it interacted with the brain.

Here's some TL;DR from the bulk of the paper:

Normal implants have the issue that the don't move the same way as brain tissue, so anything that jostles the brain causes the implant to carve paths through the brain. Since this is a mesh, it moves with the brain.

Injecting a "normal" mesh, you just get a sort of tube of stuff where you injected it. Because of the shape of this mesh, it tries to uncoil; but does so slowly enough that it doesn't damage the brain tissue. One of the major points of the study is the specifics of this mesh (which is basically just an angle).

Because it's a mesh, neurons actually really like growing on it, so they form a bunch of handy connections to it.

One fun thing you can then do is grow brain tissue in the petri dish with the mesh, and you'll get something with real nice connections.

As an aside, this is actually the first paper that I went: "Fuck it, I'm going to read Science"; that it was actually so unexpectedly accessible has started a trend of actually reading the science behind things. I recommend it!
I've always had an idea that whoever loses a civil suit pays the other party the lower of the legal costs of both parties. So if small company A fights big company B, small company A would only have to pay twice it's legal costs, even if megacorp decides to spend smallcorp's yearly sales in the defense. If megacorp sues a small company, then small company can decide to fight it if they think they have a case and have enough reserves (which are easy to estimate since they will be based on 2xs your legal costs if you lose, 0 if you win).

Neural implants ALREADY re-wire muscles; more, they can actually stimulate nerve regrowth (you trying to use those paths actually help them recover; Kill Bill style). I don't see this improving that effect, except that it's a better form of implant (less downsides)...

...however, I wouldn't be surprised if it was better enough than existing implants that you can do something new; namely, make artificial nerves to replace damaged ones... and I wouldn't be further surprised if the effects of the mesh act as a scaffold to promote cell regrowth, like the 3D printed organs.

But also about moral integrity and fostering a community. E.g. Fugazi would reject venues (and a headlining Lollapalooza slot) if ticket prices where higher than $10-$15 (IIRC $5 was the target) or when minors are not allowed. They refused interviews with Rolling Stone unless they agreed to printing an issue without alcohol/tobacco ads.

They took "don't be evil" to their hearts and stuck with it.

>I'm sorry, but how is this different than discriminating based on sexual preference (being gay)?

Thats assuming he was ejected due to preferences. Buytaert said that Larry ommitted information from his reply, and that there was more going on. So, we don't even know what the exact cause was other than supposedly Larry actually believes that women are subservient to men. Not just sexually, but in life in general.

I can perfectly see how that makes a person who has to interact with a diverse community problematic. But I also understand that you should be judged upon what you have done, not about what you think, and none of the posts or responses qualify that in any way shape or form. So, either something bigger happened that the org is hiding for some protective purpose (either for Larry, or themselves, or both), or as Larry said, he is the result of a smear campaign.

Not very much at all. Most psychological evidence shows that human beings seem to operate off composable, hierarchical generative models and probabilistic inference. Deep neural networks are basically just huge continuous circuit approximators.
agree.

i will say as an advent stock guy i think most of this statistical stuff is bs.

i think we like to find patterns and only the ones that work in the past dont really work in the future.

Compared to SEA both countries (DE and USA) are super welcoming, here in Thailand as a foreigner it's damn hard, i cannot even own a business as a majority owner. Nor can i buy land, it's also next to impossible to ever get a permant residency. Other SEA countries are the same, its pretty discouraging.
I think it makes a lot more sense to clean room it. Most (all?) of the functionality is already present in the Windows kernel, there just needs to be a Linux compatible API exposed.

Suppose I could imagine being ruled by people from a couple of millenia ago when homosexuality was normal. Morality progresses and regresses all the time, unfortunately it is not guaranteed to go in the "right" direction either way. See what happened to same sex relationships in Western history. There were plenty of young folks who deemed it to be worth killing for at one point. Unfortunately the young are much more likely to give in to the latest moral fashions and mob mentality than they are to do a fully informed historical evaluation of the current state of morality.
