Assuming you already have files in your home directory on the server backed up, and SSH access, then a repository for a single user is as simple as

mkdir project.git; cd project.git
git init --bare

And to clone

git clone user@example.com:project.git
At this point, Apple could just take their cash stockpile, dump it in mutual funds, and be profitable, basically, forever.
The key problem with the TPU architecture for training is that its on-die buffer space is fairly limited and its memory bandwidth is currently nowhere near that of a GPU. This matters if you've got a lot of intermediate buffers that need to be alive at the same time for backpropagation. Also, there's the less fundamental matter of convenience: while there are some clever ways to train with limited precision gradients, it's not yet as easy as not doing that.

One style of training that would be a good fit for the current TPU architecture is some of the recent work on reinforcement learning without gradients:

One problem with the way this is framed:

Rivers have historically meandered. They didn't have a set path. The modern expectation that rivers have a set path is one we tend to try to actively enforce.

Elsewhere in comments here, someone noted that the Salton Sea is similar. But if you read Salt Dreams, Native Americans had oral history suggesting that there had been a lake there previously. Geological records agree with the oral history.

It is that simple. Punch in your departure and destination airports, click click click, done.

You want to control every detail of the result while also spending as little money as possible? That takes some effort, with both flights and apples.

Actually, getting the best price for a flight is easier than with apples. I'd have to spend all day calling (or visiting!) stores in my area to see who has the best price for apples, since most stores don't make that information available online in any form. Accomplishing the same for a flight takes literally thirty seconds.
Definitely.

Another good idea is to show the difference between reality and data can be overwhelmingly significant.

There /is/ a modern, well-managed open-registration shell and IRC service, similar to what you're talking about, called Hashbang. You can join via https://hashbang.sh.

We're reasonably active, and we have almost 1400 registered users [edited: i was corrected by a hashbang admin as to the amount].

The ultimate purpose of hashbang is to expose more users to a traditional remote UNIX server and command line, as well as teaching people how to use it.
We've created a slight barrier to entry with the intentionally obtuse signup flow, as we don't want completely non-technical users flooding the service.

I promise we won't bite :D

But honestly, I played Skyrim for a bit in 2011, I'm not interested in shelling out $60 to play it again....on a small screen. Excuse me if I'm a little skeptical of Bethesda's...."commitment" - I doubt it's anything more than ports of old games.

I actually don't know anyone (that includes me) who bought a Switch as their primary system or as the system to play all games on - everyone I know bought it to play Nintendo games.

Looking at the eShop now, it's Zelda, followed by some shovelware, followed by games I can get on Steam. Or the PS4.

There's gotta be some non-Nintendo Switch exclusives that are actually good and not just ports/re-releases.
This is exactly the feeling i've got too. After a couple of weeks in various apartments i stopped using AirBnB and went back to staying in Hotels. This was in 2015, it might have changed since then, but then AirBnB wasn't issuing an invoice. Since i was travelling for work, good documentation of costs is necessary, and i don't wan't to argue with my accountant each time i tried to pass some printed page from AirBnB site as "invoice" or "receipt". Ryanair also does not issue an invoice, and i've only once done the mistake of buying a ticket from them. I have not yet had a hotel so far that refused to issue an invoice for the company when i requested it so.

On a side note, both AirBnB and Ryanair had the "company name and address" fields on their web-forms, which made me believe those data will be used for printing an invoice, but those are not used nor displayed ever after being entered. What a deception.

This is some kind of misery that Irish companies do. Companies that are based in Ireland operate by Irish law, and it seems that Irish law does not require them to issue an invoice. I don't know how much money AirBnB and Ryanair are saving by not providing a printable PDF invoice on their sites, but they might just be losing customers from other EU countries where the invoice was and is the basic document of business transactions.

Then there is the rest of the problems with AirBnB. I absolutely needed an apartment with stable internet connection, to be able to work remotely. I was promised that, but when i got there it wasn't working. I was told to "restart the router", well it didn't help either. So i had to buy a 50EUR data-stick with crappy slow internet to be able to connect. Most hotels are not better in this regard either, but with hotels i can at least avoid the bad ones. With AirBnB each apartment is a new unique situation. Maybe it has bad wifi, maybe its smelly, maybe its without air-conditioning, maybe the neighbors are noisy. Like the previous poster wrote, hotels provide a more consistent service.

I generally do, yes. I'm a consultant, working remotely. Using anything but UTC would be too confusing. Also, I use multiple online personas, and time zone is an information leak.
This is either a nitpick of your post, or a complete agreement with it, but I'm not sure which: "work ethic" or "Protestant ethic", in Weber's original understanding, had three parts: hard work, deferred consumption, and reinvestment. Using "have a good work ethic" to mean "work hard", without the other two elements, is a good way to stay poor -- which is to say, a good way to fail to understand how to play the game, in the way you mention. More accurate sociology would probably mean more upward social mobility.
They do. It's amateur radio.
> The probability of 0.5% is for a randomly selected river

Sorry, what is the probability .5% for exactly? The probability a river is redirected under global warming conditions? I didn't think that's what they computed. If it is, then my bad. :) I thought they had computed given that the river was redirected, what is the likelihood it happened due to global warming. Ah well, like I said, the details are the hard part. :)
>This strikes me as the type of comment that sounds artificially 'deep' but has no constructive or logical basis

A bizarro thing to say, given that the parent gave several arguments that make sense from an evolutionary/physical viewpoint, like "sleeping requires much less energy" and "the only reason to be awake is to eat and reproduce".

>What does 'default state' even mean in this context?

The state that requires the less energy expenditure? Similar to a rest/equilibrium state in physics?
Is \b a new thing to grep? I think you'll need egrep anyway for the alternation pipe symbol. And I'm surprised \b works too.

Rather than \b you can just use -w (whole word option).

If those fail, then traditionally grep used \< and \> to mark beginning and end of word respectively.
The legacy carriers had to go bankrupt because their original business models and labor costs were based on regulation and would not work once regulation was removed. Regulation created a huge market failure, a market inefficiency while deregulation made the market more efficient. The wages/benefits of labor were negotiated by unions that made the labor costs non-competitive with airlines that launched after deregulation. There may have been issues of operational inefficiency as well that was supported by the extra profits above an efficient market under regulation.

Capitalists generally do not want market efficiency when it comes to providing a product or service but for customers that is the best deal. Firms fight commoditization of their product or service and tried to create "moats" that protect their business from competition.

Looking for good investments is often a case of looking for businesses that can't easily be commoditized.

Columbia Profs. Bruce Greenwald and (also Nobelist) George Stiglitz sometimes co-teach a course. Greenwald talks about making moats and Stiglitz talks about commoditizing to make products/services more accessible to people with lower incomes.
I think that, regardless of where you go, going somewhere new or somewhere where you don't know many people for a semi-long/long amount of time is extremely helpful. You learn a lot about yourself, your motivations, your priorities.

Some of your worries I wouldn't worry about so much -- if you want to keep some of your things, you can put them in storage or give them to a friend you trust, if you know someone with some spare room. Ditto for the place, if you want to keep it you could most likely sublease it to a friend or someone else for the amount of time you'll be gone and get it back when you return. I wouldn't worry about future career prospects; when you're interviewed, of course you'll be asked about it, but you can spin it in many positive ways. One year of salary loss is probably the only important issue in your third paragraph, so I would be careful and conservative with your calculations. And the feeling that you're doing it because you can rather than being truly excited about it is a real one, and is maybe partly due to the length of time you're considering, but it is something you really should consider if you are planning to have a family (especially with kids) in the future.

If you're worried about the length of time (although you didn't mention this directly in your post, it was one of the reservations I had and a feeling that crept into me as I started a 6 month journey traveling to a few different countries) you could most likely feasibly travel for 2-3 months to somewhere new, while keeping your apartment. Then if you want to travel for longer, you can figure out what to do from there.

On a more philosophical note: don't live to work, work to live. Your career is not in jeopardy for traveling for a period of time, the only thing that you're going to be missing out on is an income during that time. Your career will be there when you get back, and so will your friends, family -- plus you'll have a lot of interesting stories to tell.
Following up because I need to write some time handling stuff in a side project. Could you elaborate on why a future date would cause a problem?
Here we go again. Another blogger (while John Gruber deserves a lot more credit and weight than the average bear) telling Apple what they are doing wrong. Nevertheless, there is a disconnect between what Apple "professional" users want, and what's best for the company and shareholders. Full disclosure, I am long-time shareholder.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Mac's and continue to watch for new and innovative computers. However, taking advise from developers on how to manage the most successful company in the history of the world... Not so much.
Did the same thing in 2011 which culminated in moving to Australia from the UK (I'm now a permanent resident), and then did another 6 months of travelling last year after burning out at my previous job.

You will never regret this trip and you'll learn way more than you think you will that will help you in your career. If you're really worried about your career then spend some of the time working on new skills.

You'll also have ups and downs but learning to manage these times will help you so much in your life.
I rather think the incompleteness and inaccuracy of the data makes having more of it less valuable than it might seem at first glance. Medical history information is a mess (and that's being kind) in general.
Sorry to be the wet blanket, but I actually don't think it is necessarily a no-brainer as others have said. If you do it, do it with purpose. Traveling will not fix your problems. It won't help you progress your career. It won't even necessarily expand your mind or help you learn new things.

It will, however, with near 100% certainty reduce your bank account balance, and will potentially put you in a jam down the line unless you have something to show for it at the end.

I spent a year traveling in South America in 2010. I was aimless. It was one of the best experiences of my life. However, if I'm really being honest with myself, it cost me a career trajectory that probably would have meant retirement type money by now.

I depleted my savings, my knowledge became obsolete surprisingly quickly, and it was a slog to get back into the groove when I got back. I can't say I regret it, but I definitely would have done it differently in retrospect.
Somebody testing the idea. Seeing how many purchases before they go through with the effort.
I'd say Microsoft Studio was an innovative desktop platform, and so is the HP Envy Curve. There's interesting stuff happening in gaming desktops, too, including VR add-ons.

If you include laptops as part of the "traditional desktop ecosystem" then there are lots of innovative 2-in-1s, detachables and convertibles, including the Lenovo Book (a laptop with no physical keyboard).

The "traditional desktop ecosystem" in the form of Windows has also added a lot of features from the mobile ecosystem including sandboxed apps maintained from an app store, notifications, and a voice-controlled AI (Cortana).

The mobile world has reached the stage where you have to look pretty closely to tell one high-end phone from any other high-end phone, and the tablet market is in steep decline. The PC market looks quite innovative in comparison.
No it doesn't look cartoonish, here is an example of a training IED for bomb disposal units http://www.tacticalelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/1...

Not all IEDs are tied to an unexploded artillery shell this isn't the hurt locker.

An IED needs 4 primary components a trigger which is either timed or a mechanical switch, a power supply, a detonator and the main explosive.

Looking at the picture is see a logic board which can contain a timer(and potentially another triggering sensor e.g that block box in the upper right corner of the board), a power supply, large capacitors needed for the high voltage to initiate an electro sensitive detonator and something that looks like a main explosive package.

So to me it looks like an IED.

Interestingly, I've seen XXX used as the attention marker before a semantic prefix (and on its own when there isn't really one), i.e. as a sort of 'NB:' - so

# XXX FIXME - blows up if $x is negative

# XXX HACK - don't even ask

etc. etc. and then XXX on its own to mean "if you're skimming this code you really should read this comment but it doesn't fit a specific semantic category very well"

Honestly as an outsider I feel that India is in a position where it speaks the same language as the west(English) but is still mocked inside of the English speaking sphere as an outsider would be. If you can go on Reddit you can tell how much people jump at the opportunity to insult India whenever it's mentioned. This happens with a lot of other countries but India is the only English speaking one can notice.

The media are vocals about a few big cities on a few topics. It brings a lot of readers. Nothing special, it's always been the wild west over there.

AirBnb is already self regulating quickly: You rent a property, the guests damage it, you're not renting it on airbnb again for the next decade.

Or you simply realize that it's not sustainable. Revolving door short sublets are, in fact, usually not sustainable.
SDF is awesome. It's just nice to have an account on a cluster that is straight on the internet and lets you play with whatever unix and web things you want.
I'll have to reexamine then. Last I saw the typings story wasn't well documented but would be beyond overjoyed to be wrong.
I've been on SDF for over 18 years, absolutely love it. And the fact that they run a pdp-10 emulator is so cool! These guys rock and I consider myself lucky for finding them so many years ago.

My guess is AI will only use UTC. No timezones needed. Timezones are so humans can all get to work at 9AM no matter where they are on the planet. If humans were ok with getting to work at 12:00AM and eating "dinner" at 7:00AM etc it would be fine. Some timezone would look like usual 9-5 and the rest would adapt.
Yeah I agree that there have been a lot of articles that basically approach the topic (which I thoroughly believe in, that it's not just hard work that gets you to the top) with the tone of "hard work doesn't matter". I thought this one was good though.
From the paper:

"shows our estimate that there is only a 0.5% chance that the observed retreat of Kaskawulsh Glacier happened in the absence of a climate trend"

The 0.5% has nothing to do with the river. It is their confidence that the retreat of the glacier could occur in the absence of a climate trend based on their model.
And couldn't it also make a wrong diagnosis? Who do you sue in that case?
Several years ago some YC partners noted that the startups that did poorly had a common attribute: they tend to ignore advice given during office hours.

The interviewers are experts at office hours, but the interviewees are not. I think it would be interesting to see a) startups ask more questions in their responses rather than make assertions, regardless of whether they are "sure" they have the answer b) have a mechanism of action; for example, stop developing x and start getting revenue -- because otherwise nothing will be learned. Then follow up in a couple weeks to see results iff they decided to act on the advice.
Wasn't Alfred Nobel the son of an arms dealer, himself an industrial arms dealer who made a fortune out of wars and killing ? IIRC he was dubbed the merchant of death, and he got shunned by this woman he loved because she was a pacifist and refused to be with someone who makes (tons of) money on war and killing.

Trying to PR himself into having a good reputation after his death does not change the fact that he is responsible for countless deaths and made a huge profit out of it.

So a pseudo nobel is imho way better than an actual nobel.

In the context of what is being taught in schools and how our education currently exists, there should be no issue with teaching ecological principles, which as noted elsewhere, are as firmly rooted in science as evolution.

This is not a matter of pushing politics.

> the classroom is just another battle front that opinionated teachers can use to push their version of politicized topics that haven't been agreed upon completely by the scientific community. E.g. religion, evolution, climate-change, etc.

One of these things is not like the other. It does however explain your bizarre mindset that teaching basic facts of ecology is some kind of politicization of children. I would think of all populations, children have the most stake in the future of the planet.
