Thanks for the link! There was a week where I wasn't able to do any tracking, though I do have some paper notes with journal entries for the day, so there's a mundane log of my life in existence. I want to make it more useful.
I read your post and am left with two questions.

1. Robinhood Gold interest is 6%. Interactive Brokers is 2.4% [1]. Why do you think there is such a massive difference, and would anyone benefit from paying it?

2. Your analysis works on ten years of data from 2007 to 2017. Did you know that is a very positive period and that shifting it by a few years would completely change the analysis? [2]

I'm not surprised you stopped using it. I am surprised you would encourage us to use it.

While I take your point on Germany, it is also true that modern construction of nuclear plants is disastrous financially.
That's… not at all true? There have been numerous thorough attempts at coming up with as reasonable an estimate as possible, involving in-depth conversations with most of the experts in the field. Maybe it's not strictly a "calculation", but it's a hell of a lot more than just an appeal to the idea of AGI.
I do hate the 'devops' prefix. It's used indeterminately by everybody unfortunately, including at a recent client that didnt have devs. It's job title inflation, a bit like calling somebody a barista because they press the coffee button.

Current MBA student here. I certainly agree with the fact that a lot of business (especially case studies and popular business books) is a posteriori

However, I don't think that means that it is always flawed reasoning. There are kernels of truth that can be gained.

The challenge is that most of the analysis and synthesized learnings will apply for specific companies and points in time.

BUT, it's the analytical ability and reasoning skills that are important to develop as an MBA and NOT the specific learnings that applied to companies in the past. Any MBA that tells you otherwise is obviously flawed.

From my experience, the ecosystems are qualitatively different.

In Ember's, there's typically one community-sanctioned library that solves a particular problem, whereas React's tends to have more competing libraries. Like the frameworks, it's a tradeoff betw. customization and strong conventions. Doesn't make sense to compare based on number of libraries. Both approaches are valuable.

To me, what you're arguing for sounds like decentralization.

Toyota's lean builds on decentralization of expertise and decision making, and that is what American and Western European companies miss and why their lean implementation efforts fail.

I've used IB (and don't use robinhood). The IB GUI is a fucking trainwreck. If design had ethical obligations the way bridge engineering does, IB's designers would be in prison. It is bad. And it's still one of the better trading interfaces. Ever seen a bloomberg terminal?

That jump from 2.4 to 6% is effectively a "regular people can make sense of this without wanting to kill themselves" markup. No different from the markup any other SaaS company puts on "run this 10 line script periodically". One can sell convenience.

IB is a great platform (though their design and tech suck), but by far offer the best margin rates. They are geared towards professionals though, and I think lots of people just don't know about them.

So 2008, the great recession was a very positive period? Ok, here are QQQ returns starting at 2003:

2004 - 9.49%
2005 - 1.23%
2006 - 6.81%

There's not much technical discussion to be had when our views of practicality are so different, and practicality itself so subjective and context-dependent. If Java starts to smell like COBOL across the wider industry (not just HN types) will it no longer be practical, because it no longer satisfies the narrow criteria "has been deployed in critical applications and is not being migrated away from"[0]? What about the great tooling/perf/backwards compatibility/ecosystem mentioned, do those not matter at all for practicality concerns? I'm not sure. Maybe we'll just agree that practicality is a low bar to satisfy and shouldn't be a high concern for much? Reminds me of the discussions around WorseIsBetter, and a quote from Wayne Mack[1].

[0] I've heard from COBOL forums that the amount of new COBOL written each day and existing in the world keeps increasing; they've even got Object-Oriented COBOL now. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that if COBOL had the same market pressures Java does (plus university pressure) and if the world was basically stuck with it in the same way we've had Java this century that we wouldn't be able to push it to service our needs.

Agreed. Important to point out that Nextcloud (and most other calendar implementations) is actually a client and a server.

Hmm, that sounds a bit awkward -- every capability on the system would, at least conceptually need a separate copy of the pruned name-tree. There might be good ways of implementing that, but it's not obvious.

On the other hand, I can see how capabilities would mix with ACLed namespaces to improve security. Essentially it would define the semantics of things like cgroups and chroot jails.

In fact sometimes I think that mainstream virtualisation is slowly reinventing -- in an incremental way -- what various alternative OSes advocated in a radical way. E.g. Linux cgroups and "one process per container" sounds quite a lot like Plan9's per-process view of the system.
Yeah fair point, and i thought this while writing it. I just feel like by doing nothing we're not even allowing for the opportunity of people taking it seriously.

Very few sites have everything on a CDN, and that's not really possible for a large class of websites. So they can get IP addresses for web servers, which with reverse DNS they can get the domain name. They can also analyze the number of incoming versus outgoing packets to make certain inferences, like being able to tell whether you're watching a video on Facebook or upload one. That last one isn't that useful for advertising or anything, though, and requires TCP sessionization, which is tricky to scale, so I doubt they would do that.
Yeah. Total OpSec failure, as I see it. I learned that hard on Usenet.
I agree with what I take to be the main point of your argument, which is that OpenAI will use the money for a variety of different things, many of which aren't averting the apocalypse, and that those things are good. I think it's important to note, though, that Andrew Ng's perspective is far from a consensus one. For one thing, overpopulation on Mars is something that can easily be dealt with when it happens, whereas an intelligence explosion is much more of a flipped switch. For another, though there is a lot of uncertainty in the expert forecasts, a non-negligible amount of experts think there's a reasonable chance of human-level AI within the next 10-20 years, and that's absolutely something we should be worrying about right now. In a 2014 survey of the top 100 most cited living AI scientists[1], the median estimate of the year at which there was a 10% chance we'd have human-level AI was 2024. Multiply that by whatever chance you think human-level AI leads to an intelligence explosion and potential apocalypse, and then multiply it by the impact of that event… I think for most reasonable inputs you get a pretty huge EV as the result.

I always seem to end up in sysadmin work. I guess I'm good at it. If you're smart and can use tools to your advantage you can create great value. Using ansible and judicious scripting I can do the work that used to take half a dozen sysadmins who just ploded through repetitive work over and over manually. That's a good argument to get a nice salary.

Pretty much. Works just fine when I hook my 15" laptop up to my 130" projector.
Nothing against your specific comment, but in general I wish that the Landauer limit had less cultural importance and salience in discussions of computation & energy. It's a simple result, but the assumptions leading to it are quite subtle. First, it relies on the widely misinterpreted second law of thermodynamics and second, it relies on the subtle notion of 'erasure'. In loose analogy, it reminds me of quantum mechanics - "what's the definition of a measurement?" "It's anything that causes the system to act like it was measured." "What's the definition of information erasure?" "It's anything that causes the system to obey the Landauer limit." In any case, this limit is so far away it's practically theory (though experiments purport to show it), and since the limit can be exceeded in theory, it doesn't seem like a useful principle to guide us.

You would need to compare performance per watt for your particular application. If you just read the Box, a GPU uses 250 Watts, while an FPGA is tens of Watts. But then consider that you are getting a large amount of very high speed memory and much higher clock speeds. Then once you take that into account, you can begin to start analyzing which is better for your project.

Math needs to fulfill a purpose in order to succeed in INDUSTRY. A image recognition is first and foremost about recognizing an image, the math behind it is mystical, but the accuracy is measurable.

If you want your knowledge to be hold as useful, then you need find a usage case for it. Simple as that. This is not only true for math, but for all the other techniques as well. Otherwise so-called knowledge is yet another self-indulgent toy, disconnected even further from being useful.

Contrary to what OP states here, recent development of WGAN and LSGAN pretty much math driven, and it leads to very useful realworld extension to the original model, that improves it quite a bit.

Should I pretend that Yvette Felarca [1] is a beacon of liberal thought in the same way you're doing with that nobody you linked in the Mic article? Do you assume that most Trump voters would condone that guy's behavior? Like, seriously?

GOP is the strongest it's been from a local to national level since the 1920's. The internal conflict they're going through with the Freedom Caucus is something Trump voters anticipated, never Trump Republicans were a thing. Democratic leadership seems unsure whether to follow the more vocal portion of their base further to the left, or refocus on the more centrist Democrats who went Obama in '08 and '12 but voted Trump in '16. Obstructionist moves in Washington are something the left isn't traditionally fond of [2]. That's why the left should reach out. Do whatever you want, you clearly don't seem to mind the politicization.

>A rather unfortunate one, at that, as it legitimizes all sorts of bias. At best, it's an intellectually lazy way to conceptualize a whole bundle of soft skills.

I think you're a ways off here. Culture is character (and not a "bundle of soft skills"). Some companies want candidates that value and empathize with customers. Others may want candidates that demonstrate integrity and ability to collaborate with others. Often, these values are codified as principals to work and measure by. When a candidate fails to demonstrate valued traits, or provides examples that are contrary to those values, that is "not a culture fit".

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
- HEADLINE: Working HD Active Protection System for newer Thinkpads
- DESCRIPTION: Around the time of the release of the Thinkpad W530, Lenovo had changed the way in which the HDAPS system was done on Thinkpads. In the past, the tp-smapi* packages and the hdapsd daemon made using Thinkpads with rotating platters excellent, but the newer models now receive errors, and there's some notion that maybe the kernel has some kind of support for APS systems now. It's quite frustrating to know I've sacrificed protection by having a newer model while we wait for SSDs to become as trustworthy as our HDDs.

It impacts only the bitcode and not the final binary AFAIK. The issue is with debug-info not being stripped out completely as expected. It comes from a change from LLVM upstream that was made (in 3.9) to keep source locations for providing better optimization diagnostics. It interacts badly with the debug info stripping and apparently wasn't caught. It is used by the optimizer to tell you e.g. that a specific loop can't be vectorized.

That said, there are a lot of subtle assumptions wrapped up in the Landauer limit (related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics and the notion of 'erasure') and my personal opinion is that the limit is easily overrated before those subtleties are appreciated.
I haven't implied that, you're simply reading what I'm saying via partisan eyes. I merely stated treason is a serious crime.

And no, Clinton's campaign is not the real issue. She lost, that's over, no one is questing that. The issue is whether Trump and team were involved or not with the Russian interference with the election. No amount of deflecting back to Clinton will change the issue.

Increasingly companies are shedding on-prem infrastructure. One startup I was at har everyone work exclusively on laptops (though with docking stations and monitors) and had a policy where everyone had to take their computers home every night - nothing to steal. Everything was Cloud-hosted on AWS, Atlassian, GitHub and Dropbox. To my surprise it worked quite well - the only issue was working with large files because we had no NAS/file-server and only ~10mbps upstream.

Not having to pay for any on-site sysadmin definetly saved the company money - even more-so when you consider there was no physical servers to break either.
Crossing a picket line is kind of a moral choice where you decide how much value you place on A) the success of that particular strike and B) ever having anything to do with those picketers again. It is weird to talk about in terms of tech, but nevertheless, if there is a union that represents you, ignoring a strike would probably not be free, it would just be a different kind of cost. Maybe how many numbers you get at the end of the day is the only value you care about. I think, beyond a certain minimum salary, regard for your impact on other humans becomes relevant to many of us in the choices we make. Or things like work environment or hours, which unions safeguard. Would you work in a less safe environment to make your take home number 5% bigger? Or, indeed, tolerate greater risk to somebody else for more pay for you? "The best deal" can be a lot of things.
