The issue with UB and optimizations is that sometimes programs rely on UB deliberately. The code is actually tested in every way, and it works fine for years. Then a compiler update deliberately breaks it, oops; the optimizer now assumes that it can do anything it wants if that UB occurs.

I had a similar experience for a minor hand surgery. The thing is, when I called the insurance company (or was it the billing dept at the hospital? I don't remember) they went like, "oh, that's wrong" and like magic $5000 in bills disappeared. How many people just pay without asking? How many people don't care because it's the insurance co covering the bill? The whole system just seems rife with inefficiency.

Be careful with articles about single payer healthcare systems in the US. Most similar countries to the US have functional single payer plans. It's a false talking point pushed by conservative media that those systems don't work well. Conservative media pushes those falsehoods because the media is funded by the very wealthy and those who want to cut taxes to line their own pockets at the expense of most Americans.

I had an oozing rash break out behind my knees. The dermatologist said "That'll go away easily if you put some OTC corticosteroid cream on it." Wrong! The rash flared up within hours and nearly ate the flesh off the back of my knees. I happen to know that this indicates a fungal infection so I stopped the steroids and applied an OTC antifungal regularly. Slowly it began to heal.

A week later I had a minor bout with detergent dermatitis around my jeans pockets (happens every winter if I use a strong detergent).

Next time the dermatologist sees the residue of my scarred legs behind the knees and the "jeans-pocket" rash, I tell her that her steroid recommendation was absolutely a wrong call, what happened and how I treated the problem.

Rather than take a culture from the back of my legs (and later possibly prescribing an antifungal), she then prescribes not a tube, but a 1-pound _tub_ of corticosteroid cream and tells me to put it on all rashes (behind knees and on "pocket" rashes) for six weeks!

So I figure either she's deaf, has a serious learning disorder or flatter myself that she is trying to kill me. In any case I won't see that dermatologist again.

On the upside: I have an unopened pound jar of steroid skin cream in my refrigerator.
Who said anything about magic - a) they don't use x86, b) they use boards with few unnecessary peripherals, and c) their vendors are perfectly fine with proprietary drivers (-> can't easily reuse their HW).

Good luck doing a build with an overall 10W consumption target with x86 and what is essentially desktop HW, especially if it should be affordable (relative to a ~250€ commercial solution) and maintainable (no, no custom kernels with weird patchsets that rot away in 6 months, and having to recompile the world).

We have used PCEngine boards. They're fine as network appliances. But even the latest ones only have 1 SATA port (fine, 2 if you count the mSATA port).

I'm executor for my aunt. Found $800 in travelers' checks that her husband had bought 31 years ago. Advice on AmEx site is to go to a bank that sells travelers' checks. I can only find a few within 25 miles of Los Angeles, none very close to where my aunt lived.

When we traveled to Italy 12 years ago, we took travelers' checks. The local banks would shake their heads and point at the ATM. As you say, getting free travelers' checks don't matter if you can't cash them.

It used to be standard advice to put some travelers' checks in your sock drawer (or wherever) to have some emergency money on hand that wasn't easily stolen. I calculated how much money was lost by having travelers checks for 31 years instead of sitting in a bank and it was about $3000 at 5%. Hard to find in these times but not until recently.

I believe that there should be no obligation (in Maximum America mode that'd imply SWAT kicking in doors, restraining and injecting people), but society and state always manages to provide incentives to do things. Be it making things opt-out (possibly with a small fee), forbidding entry to institutions (e.g. only vaccinated people in schools), or just good ol' looking down on parents who don't vaccinate.

For example, in my country there are mandatory check-ups for children every couple years, which include a baseline of vaccination unless opted out. There are also mandatory check-ups conducted in schools (IIRC teeth and also vaccination - interdisciplinary, so to speak).

Optimality's really never necessary. But it's a good idea sometimes. The two main ways of considering optimality are maximizing revenue and "efficiency". Efficiency is a technical term roughly similar to fairness and the overall good: it tries to measure to what extent auctioned goods go to the participants who most value them.

So going for an optimal auction can be a good idea if you're trying to make the most money possible (many if not most private sector auctions), or to distribute items in an equitable way (lots of government auctions fit this category).

In this particular case, airlines have multiple goals. They want to solve the overbooking for a small amount of money, they want to minimize the time their staff spends dealing with it, and they want to keep their customers happy.

An auction's a good fit for discovering how to keep their customers happy for the least amount of money in an automated way. As to which auction... I don't think theory helps very much here. As I said, theory doesn't work well except in high stakes auctions with sophisticated participants. So you need a behavioral model of your consumers (ie, an understanding of the ways in which they behave irrationally) to figure out a good choice in this case.

There's no question about it morality - it's immoral. Creating a system where whether you live or die is premised on your income is immoral. Even more so when single-payer systems demonstrably achieve better health outcomes at lower prices.

The reality is that that so many people in this country have bought into some kind of Capitalist Calvinism, where the suffering is not only pre-ordained by "market forces," but considered salutary itself, that it's sickened our culture beyond the capacity for reason. We'd really rather watch our friends, families, and neighbors die in sickness and poverty, than admit the failure of the grotesque just-world fallacy that is our economic ideology.

> the only people at risk are those that have not been vaccinated

Remember that this set includes people that cannot receive the vaccine because of e.g autoimmune disorders, serious allergic reactions, etc. These people need the herd immunity to keep the general risk of infection low. As long as the number of anti-vaxxers is very small, they similarly benefit from the herd immunity as "free riders".

Once the number of free riders crosses a threshold[1], non-linear effects can rapidly amplify the spread of the disease among the population. Preventing any disease from gaining a "critical mass" in the population is an important part of how they work.

> Fortunately the anti-vaxxers are a small minority

Unfortunately that isn't really true in some areas.[2]

> so the consequences for society as a whole are manageable.

This is an interesting read. It seems doctors really believe they have a conversation with their patient whereas most patients feel that the doctor just rushes in and gives his standard recommendation without deeper thought and generally doesn't listen to them.
Do doctors go to other doctors when they have a problem? Do they get more respect by other doctors? If they went to a doctor and got the same treatment as their patients typically they should see that something is going wrong.

Mixed Reality Notifications
I ran an E-350 (20 W TDP) based board for many years and without the idling drives (each about 0.5 W; only system SSD connected) it consumed about 7 W idle. That's well within your 10 W figure - and boards with lower TDPs are available as well (though a lower TDP does not generally imply lower idle power).

The replacement system (Sandy Bridge i3) pulls about 25 W in the same scenario, which is fine by me.

---

Now you're saying that 10 W with desktop hardware is not possible, and yeah, that'll be difficult. But it's a false dichotomy: the "10 W commercial NAS" doesn't have anywhere near that capable hardware. You can absolutely achieve these power consumption levels with similarly spec'd hardware.

I'm not suggesting saying "hey they are doing a great job over there, my kid goes to a good school" is enough to assume that the person is saying their kid goes to a white school, but in the context of a discussion about real estate pricing, distance to city centers, etc, the term "good schools" has connotations.

That you are unaware of them is fine, but it wasn't the original commenter that injected those connotations, they've been around for a long time.

A note: looking at the code, this isn't a seq2seq Keras model. The core model code is a fork of the base Keras text generation example (https://github.com/fchollet/keras/blob/master/examples/lstm_...), which works like a char-rnn where the previous 80 characters will predict the 81st character, then feed the generated characters back into the model. In the server implementation, the server keeps predicting characters until it hits a break character, which will then serve the generated characters to the user.

In a seq2seq implementation, you need to predict all output characters simultaneously (i.e. model input is all characters in a line, model output is all characters in the next line), which in Keras involves using a TimeDistributed(Dense()) layer. (see the Keras example for seq2seq: https://github.com/fchollet/keras/blob/master/examples/addit...) This also requires more sequence ETL and a lot more training time.
