> There are ORMs that mitigate that limitation, but ultimately they're getting compiled down to SQL so in the middle there's a big flat resultset coming back or a bunch of redundant queries.

Yes. It's important to be very aware of this. Letting the ORM do this for you automatically for a few chained joins can result in a massive resultset that is literally 90%+ redundant information depending on the strategy the ORM uses.
You're not exactly wrong, but you're not 100% right either.

Consoles have one thing that PC's don't, a streamlined experience tailor made for your TV. People do more than just play games on a console, they stream Netflix, interact with their friends through sharing videos and clips, listen to music on their home entertainment system that's already connected to the TV.

Valve has been trying REALLY hard to get to this point, but every time they add something new to the Steam platform it feels half baked in comparison to Microsoft's offering in particular.

Personally, I'm a PC gamer first - the lack of an integrated experience doesn't bother me when I just want to play games. My friends all use Discord for voice/text communication, I can use AMD's software to handle recording video and share it wherever I please, or use OBS to stream to twitch. But, I'm also a professional who uses computers all day and know how to put pieces together to fit my workflow - my friends are at least competent enough to do the same, but my wife or other groups of friends may not be.

Some people just want to buy a box, plug it in and have everything they want. That's the selling point, and unless Valve pulls some huge overhaul out of their butt's that is an advantage that consoles are going to retain.

You are putting the constraints of this world on any possible world, and we have no reason to expect these things to be necessary truths.

On the triangle. It differs from pain because the sensation of pain is real, while the triangle is a concept we use to simplify the actual world we interact with. There are no two dimensional objects that I am aware of, and changing it to a pyramid still runs into the problem of needing continuous mass in that shape. A four sided triangle may be impossible, but at the same time a three sided triangle seems impossible and we accept it.

The world that I'm imagining where it is this world except pain is something different is a new world.

VC Activity is Normalizing
My friends and I have thought this through in detail a while ago, and have a few suggestions to make. I hope you make the best of it!

Distributed identity

Allow me to designate trusted friends / custodians. Store fractions of my private key with them, so that they can rebuild the key if I lost mine. They should also be able to issue a "revocation as of certain date" if my key is compromised, and vouch for my new key being a valid replacement of the old key. So my identity becomes "Bob Smith from Seattle, friend of Jane Doe from Portland and Sally X from Redmond". My social circle is my identity! Non-technical users will not even need to know what private key / public key is.

Relays

Introduce a notion of the "relay" server - a server where I will register my current IP address for direct p2p connection, or pick my "voicemail" if I can't be reach right away. I can have multiple relays. So my list of friends is a list of their public keys and their relays as best I know them. Whenever I publish new content, the software will aggressively push the data to each of my friends / subscribers. Each time my relay list is updated, it also gets pushed to everyone. If I can't find my friend's relay, I will query our mutual friends to see if they know where to find my lost friend.

Objects

There should be a way to create handles for real-life objects and locations. Since many people will end up creating different entries for the same object, there should be a way for me to record in my log that guid-a and guid-b refer to the same restaurant in my opinion. As well I could access similar opinion records made by my friends, or their friends.

Comments

Each post has an identity, as does each location. My friends can comment on those things in their own log, but I will only see these comments if I get to access those posts / locations myself (or I go out of my way to look for them). This way I know what my friends think of this article or this restaurant. Bye-bye Yelp, bye-bye fake Amazon reviews.

Content Curation

I will subscribe to certain bots / people who will tell me that some pieces of news floating around will be a waste of my time or be offensive. Bye-bye clickbait, bye-bye goatse.

Storage

Allow me to designate space to store my friend's encrypted blobs for them. They can back up their files to me, and I can backup to them.

> It's far more likely to be aimed at the Master's student in ML

As a counter example, I'm a master's student in ML and my lab wants to push more for an onsite machine since it's easier to expense one machine than a bunch of monthly AWS bills for each student in the lab :)

Additionally, most Master's students (at least in Canada) already have access to one or more very large compute clusters for jobs like this. I have used AWS a few times when I was short on time though!

I may be wrong, but my understanding is:

1. "Big Studio Co" decides to create a new film called "Movie"

2. Company "Movie Inc." is created for producing of "Movie".

3. Actors et. al. sign profit-sharing agreement with "Movie Inc"

4. "Movie" gets shot and released.

5. "Movie Inc" licenses something from "Big Studio Co" for a bazillion dollars.

6. "Movie Inc" is now officially in negative.
Definitely agree with you about the possibility of an unexpected reaction: I had to experience my friend losing touch with reality, taking off his clothes, running around my dormitory almost naked, and finally pulling the fire alarm. He was last seen that day being handcuffed and put into an ambulance. In case you're wondering, he took about 200 ug of real LSD.
> Reason being that a calculation error that results in a dead pixel is fine when you are playing a video game. It'll be there for 1/60s and then be gone, never seen again. The same error in a disney film or a 3d scene rendered for a poster needs to be pixel perfect, so workstation class cards have a much lower threshhold for error, and cost accordingly.

I've heard this a lot, and I don't doubt that it's correct, but could you explain why? Like do consumer class GPUs have less accurate floating point, or do their embedded algos contain hacks to produce less accurate results faster?

Hrm, I can't help but think that despite this being only slightly more than Sony's PS4 Pro spec-wise, that difference is going to matter a lot because it seems to be the difference between being able to output (upscaled) 4k and being able to render 4k. We'll see if that turns out to be true when the Scorpio Xbox One actually launches (this kind of pre-release article is very prone to botching facts like this). If it does hold then this machine actually has some hope of switching the preferred platform for console games back over to Xbox One.

You don't have to make open source illegal, all it takes is a requirement that all devices sold must come with secure boot keys by a government-approved vendor. And of course the vendor can't hand out descendant keys to open source projects because those could be modified to do anything that could get the key yanked by the government.

>It's so ridiculously easy to start an MVNO now-a-days

Reseller you mean.

Example: I have spoken to the Harbor Mobile founders and they figured out a loophole in signing up regular T-Mobile customers to the business plans. It allowed them to offer plans ~20% off typical postpaid rates, and all they had to handle was billing. They started things with a simple Wix site. T-Mobile has since blocked them from signing up anyone new to this type of plan, likely because the plans got quite popular on deal forums.
That is it. It's TypeScript.
Cricket's unlimited plan doesn't offer mobile hotspot, which would make it a non-starter for me. A non-unlimited Cricket plan for my two phones would cost me more money than I currently pay AT&T for similar service.

We ship first and then announce dates because down the other path lies disaster, but LLCs are a great way to incorporate many tech businesses, and Atlas aims to incorporate most tech businesses.

It's an idiom that can imply entirely different meaning depending on its inflection, though, which obviously translates terribly over text.

"I'm all ears" said in a positive tone can be "Absolutely I agree, I'd love to hear your ideas".

"I'm all ears" in a negative tone is more like "Prove it. I don't think you have any ideas to this unsolvable problem."

All a matter of interpretation, I suppose :) (and fwiw I don't know whether the author meant it in a positive or negative tone)
Yep, I also wanted to add that if you use Mac, or Unix you most likely don't use VT-100.

Yes, they all support VT-100, but that's because it became a standard, and essentially any device understands it. For example if you connect to a network switch you know that it will at least support VT-100 so you have a common protocol to communicate with it, and be able to switch to a modern protocol if the device supports it.

I feel like the author is a front end developer and just hates the fact that JavaScript in the browser can't communicate with a database server directly.

I don't understand though, if there is a need for something like that, and it is also possible that database could provide a generic enough interface that would work, then there must be an application that you install together with the database which would do exactly what he wants.

There's no need to add this functionality to a database, because it only adds a complexity that majority of people who use a database won't need.

Hello Patrick, thanks for answering questions.

From the looks of these most recent updates, and reading over this blog post, it seems as though Atlas is positioning itself to be an accelerator in its own right. Offering connections, assistance, setup help, guidance, and even access to investors. It seems like Atlas/Stripe is only missing a funding portion and perhaps access to a highly covered "demo day." Are those in the pipeline as well? If not, can you elaborate on what the end goal is here besides simply altruism? Is it just to get new companies in the Stripe pipeline faster?
Help with Berkeley V. Umich EECS Undergrad
It's been a long debate for our family whether to attend UMich Computer Science as a College of Engineering student with in-state tuition and a Berkeley EECS Student with a tuition twice the cost. I see Berkeley as a better opportunity with a better curriculum, more investment, and better proximity to Silicon Valley. A lot of you guys have experience in the field I like, so it would be much appreciated if you could offer sincere opinions.

As context for my current skill: I've published 7 apps to the App Store and have been working on microcontroller programming and circuitry for 4 years.

Thanks for your time.

> One individual with millions of micro-votes can easily out-vote a million individuals with less votes

No. In a market there exist property rights that are designed to not work like that. If I own a simple pen, somebody with a billion 'votes' can come along and if I refuse to sell my pen that just that.

In a pure democracy, this is simple not the case. The rule of the majority is a real thing, if I have a pen and there are a majority of votes for me to be forced to give away that pen, I can do nothing.

This is of course in theory, in practice their is no pure form of either. However it es a extremely important thing to point out. It is the exact reason why you can run a economy with markets but not with democracy.
This argument really doesn't hold water to me. It seems dramatically more likely to me that the human agent overriding the model is going to be prejudiced than the mathematical model itself.

Of course it's possible (in fact, almost certain) that a math model trained on a large set of data is going to pick up on some problematic features. However, is it really more likely that these statistical inferences are more biased than a human being?

I'm sorry, but in my experience the number of racist human beings outweighs the number of racist computers.

Your examples seem so fraught. The Johnsons are unreliable, from a human, seems as likely to mean that John Johnson and Mr. Overriding Agent's sister had a nasty breakup as it does to mean they're likely to bounce checks. The Kennedys are good for it just sounds like code for, The Kennedys are of the racial group Agent prefers.

I agree with you that we can't blindly follow computer models, but I don't think I follow you to your conclusion that the loan officer was a valuable safety net.
> I wonder what Verizon has to gain

Wireless spectrum to run their LTE network. The MVNO agreement was part of a 2011 deal with a consortium of cable companies including Comcast to sell their wireless spectrum licenses.

Sounds like a pretty interesting console. And given the customization it also sounds like the fusion of the 'standard' PC architecture and the 'custom' console architecture have blended a bit more. I find it pretty amazing that AMD sees this sort of customization as cost effective (consoles are price sensitive so it would be hard to earn back your NRE on low margin parts)
That's really what I'm arguing overall, mathematical models are great as a second opinion, or even a first opinion, but at some point you do really need a human in the loop to say "nah that doesn't make sense".

The nice thing about this, versus - say - a self-driving car - is that you don't have to make a decision within 0.4 seconds before the car crashes. There is plenty of time to get a human into the loop here, and to show the human why the model thinks what it does. Models that can't explain themselves, well, that's going to be of limited social value unless the need is absolutely dire like the car scenario. If the car gets me out of a crash, great, but I would want to know why my loan was denied.

If you can't put it into words or show a plot of the classifier... well... condorcet voting hasn't taken off either, everyone seems to prefer IRV so far even if it's "less optimal".

We have plenty of experience with "if you screw up as loan officer too much you lose your job". That's a pretty well-proven model. Especially now that you have an additional guidance signal on when the person is going "off the reservation" so to speak. Be a loose cannon too much and you're going to be the first guy carrying their stuff out the door in a box.

Frankly I'm much more enthused about the reverse here - I want to see the model tell me who's a bad loan officer given the hand they're dealt, not what a bad loan is. We can even incorporate social outcomes into that scoring metric.

It's a lot like teachers. Would you try to black-box yourself to the perfect textbook? Or would you be better off trying to figure out who's the struggling teacher in a shitty school and who's the lazy teacher half-assing it in the rich 'burbs?
What's stopping you from setting up a PC to do this now?

While being technically correct, your statement is pretty much pointless.

All development is 'just' re-solving an existing problem with better performance, or 'just' extending an existing algorithm to be more resilient, or 'just' implementing a legacy interface on a new platform.

There are lots of very obvious reasons that the web has the constraints that it does and describing them as 'unnecessary' adds literally nothing useful to that conversation.
+1 Sums up my point beautifully - to be clear I'm not trying to clamp down on free speech and would encourage reporters to "report" breaches like this. The main issue I have is that there's a first to post mentality without adequate fact checking. Speed is beating substance. The incentives in media are unfortunately all lined up the wrong way. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic but I miss the days when any journalist (amateur or not) would pride themselves on the accuracy of their statements. I've basically just stopped believing what I read after the FB fake news revelations.
Possibly, But there's a difference between a debt being written off (uncollectable) and forgiven. There's also capital gains losses that might offset potential income; the accounting for all of these cashless transactions is complex - that's what the accountants and lawyers are for :P
Also true. I think we're not going to get a good handle on what is achievable and what is optimal for a few decades at least. I have no idea what space industries might look like in say 100 years if the cost of access to space is less than 1% of what it is now, so I don't think it's a decision anyone is in a position to take right now. But short term, by which I mean the rest of my lifetime of 35+ years if I'm lucky, it's looking interesting.
