This is very cool. One thing that I wish the docs made clearer was that this is a wrapper around `reveal.js`, so if you're familiar with reveal, then learning this tool is just a little more effort.

Reliable evidence would be a large scale, double blind clinical study establishing statistically significant correlations between particular genes and high scores on multiple standardized intelligence tests, followed by a finding that those genes are significantly more common in the Bay Area than in other regions. Without something like that you can't legitimately make any claims about heritable intelligence. There are many alternative hypotheses which could potentially explain the GDP per capita differential.
I wasn't aware of that. That makes this whole thing look even more nefarious.
Comcast's profit margin has been 10-12% on $84 billion revenue. $14 billion in capex last year, though a big chunk of that is upgraded set top boxes, which customers would happily buy 3rd party like TiVo if Comcast weren't an abusive monopoly and would let us.
~12k thousand years ago is when it appears we first started to form together into large communities, Göbekli Tepe is a good example. More here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göbekli_Tepe

> This corresponds well with an ancient Sumerian belief that agriculture, animal husbandry, and weaving were brought to mankind from the sacred mountain Ekur, which was inhabited by Annuna deities, very ancient gods without individual names

We find the first evidence of cultivation around 11.5k years ago not so far away in the Levant. Aggrecuture appears to have been the major change which kickstarted civilisation as we know it off.
This is exactly why poverty should be a governmental concern: a societal cost for societal benefit.

The problem is that people don't care about or trust information that proves the investment is worthwhile - and part of that is an active disinformation campaign against anything government-positive by the wealthy/corporate elite that wants to defang the government from interfering in it's profits.

There's also the fact that the riches pay less (in %) towards taxes than the middle-class or poor. When your "betters" don't pay their fair share, why should you?

Okay, you peaked my interest. This is the slide (built via PowerPoint) that I use to explain a nested loop structure to CS1 students [1]. Explain to me, as an academic mind you, how I can recreate this without learning CSS animations / JS magic?

If I have to, that's fine, but all I'm asking is to make a circular motion animation. I'm demonstrating I can do that in 6 steps with PP; if technical knowledge is necessary, then it's a bit of a lie to say it can be widely adopted to academia.

my only comment would be that your TF model will not automatically employ the second GPU. You need to architect your model, using TF routines, to use more than 1 GPU.
It seems like the only thing this author can offer is playing on words to make things seem obscure, blurry and unclear.

His central argument seems to be that intelligence is not a thing, and although he doesn't say it directly, but I think he doesn't believe in IQ.

He's committing the same kind of fallacy committed by certain radical ideologues, that basically says something along the lines of: since you cannot define something accurately 100% then any statement about the thing is equally invalid.

We don't have to engage in this kind of meaningless argument about semantics.

There are clear and easy to understand examples of scenarios where super AIs can cause harm to human societies that speakers like Sam Harris have articulated pretty well.
What's the matter with x8/x16 chips and dual channel? I don't think it should matter.

Sure, but the iron fish option is cheaper and just as effective. With the money they're saving but using ingots instead of whole skillets, they can solve other problems too.

Hi @autarch, thanks for the helpful feedback. I'll make some changes to the docs to make this clearer so existing users of reveal.js will immediately feel right at home. It's probably also worth noting that you don't need any knowledge of reveal.js to use GitPitch, just write some Markdown and then git-commit.
I've been retargeted by Personal Capital on FB for several months now. Are you recommending the "free financial tools" from Personal Capital? I sort of assumed the "free" was just there to entice you into paying for their wealth management services which look like every other robo but with higher fees.

Are the tools actually good? Several low-cost robos (Wealthfront and Betterment) now have fairly good retirement planning interfaces which take your outside accounts into consideration and Mint has investment tracking now as well.
Good on DJI, but China should be instilling fear on anyone who even thinks about doing this in the future. I can only imagine the penalty they would impose for causing a crash that took lives.

Oh you're right about that. I was thinking of custom operators when I said no operator overloading, but of course that's not actually what we were discussing. Still, no literal overloading. Also, there are other differences between Rust and Swift's type systems that allow Rust to do type inference in a way that Swift cannot.
In practice, LTO compiled .o/.obj files just contains compiler IR. Combining C/C++ files into one is harder due to things like name resolution, etc.
How about this:

1. Every US citizen, or entity(corporation) is allowed one free patent. (Most would never fill out the paperwork)

2. After the first patent, the fee goes to whatever it is now? Last I looked it was around $260 to $2500 if you do it all yourself.

3. People (corporations) are allowed twenty patents at the normal price.

4. That 21st patent goes up to 1 million. Then the next patent is based on minimum of 1 million, plus an exponential fee determined by company Market Value.

I think, even Microsoft, would look at a 500 million patent fee closely? Actually, I wish all governmental fees/fines were based on income.
I think Google needs the startups to survive so that they can have innovative companies to buy in the future. Taking equity in the future is a way to pay for protection that will enable said companies to survive without having to pay out of pocket for said survival.

That's not exactly true, while that is usually what Rust people write, you can choose to have stuff not monomorphized. I'm also not exactly sure what you mean by "separate" here.

As usual, compile times depend on what you're used to. It is something we're working on improving though; we want it to be very fast! We expect incremental recompilation to move out of nightly soonish; that will help quite a bit.
I'm not saying he's completely fault, but if you go back for seconds and you get the same thing you got the first time, getting shafted, you were basically asking for it.

If someone dicks you over, cut them out of your life. It can be difficult, painful, and possibly the hardest thing you've ever done, but if you don't do it you'll have even more regrets later on when they take advantage of you again and again.

You're broke, you're desperate, you've only got this one contact, and you figure, hey, what's the worst that could happen? Well, now you know. Now you're still broke and even more angry than before.

That being said, if he's got a legal leg to stand on he should lawyer up and go after this guy.
Completely agree that not everything is sunshine and happiness at Uber. The quality is highly variable across the company, but my observation has been that this is a feature, not a bug. Some systems need to be built very well such as software defined networking and container infrastructure, so you need to take the time to build it right. Other areas are one off features where speed to market matters most. Faster, Cheaper, Better, choose two. I would say on average there is a good balance between those three across the company, with each team/project making the right trade offs for the short and long term business goals. Most systems that have proven valuable end up being rewritten. I've helped sunset two older systems thus far.

It's easy to drop in and criticize the architecture of some older systems, but it's also instructive if you were around when they were built and knew the trade offs and constraints that existed when they were first conceived. The growth we've experienced has been astronomical and it would have been non-trivial exercise to build systems 2-3 years ago that account for the scale and business needs today. Even today, it's hard to plan farther that 2-3 years out with the growth we are seeing. I work on a system doing millions of QPS and in 2-3 years, it will be handling an order of magnitude more QPS and more business needs. We might scale horizontally or decide a different solution is needed. I don't think there is a silver bullet and the microservice architecture means that rewrites and re-architectures are tractable problems.
I volunteered to start/run a podcast for the Linux Mint community[1]. I helped host, edit, and hosted the site from 2009-2011. I stopped at episode 50 because I had a kid and went back to school. Near the end of 2010 there was a call for writers for a website I was reading at the time[2] and it even paid money ($20/article). I had no writing experience except for random posts I put on my personal blog at the time. I was told later that a main reason they hired me was because of my podcasting experience.

Because of the podcast I got plugged into more of the Linux community and started attending and occasionally speaking and volunteering at my local Linux conference[3]. A couple years later I was looking to make a jump from low level manager to sysadmin. I had no professional sysadmin experience but I had these two "hobbies" I put on my resume which ended up landing me the job.

My first year at the conference (2008?) I met some people who I got along with and saw them almost every year at the conference for ~5 years. In 2014 they asked if I was looking for work (I was) but I had only been a sysadmin for ~10 months and had no other professional experience outside of helpdesk roles and manager. They hired me because of my pitiful 10 months of experience and all the additional areas where I showed expertise (podcast, writing, speaking).

I've been at the new job for 3 years now and my name is in movie credits for Oscar winning films which is something I would have never expected. I've grown a lot in every new opportunity I've been lucky enough to have.

Category view is the default since Windows Vista.
I don't support anyone hiding source code from users (and have given conference talks about hard-to-detect ways of backdooring binaries), and so I don't mean this to be an excuse for the secrecy of the source code, but every single person I know who's worked in the security industry agrees that Microsoft made a major qualitative improvement in their security at every level, based on spending a lot of money and giving security people power in the development process.

Most people feel Microsoft is managing security better than the main Linux-based operating systems do, in terms of auditing, coding standards, code reviews, and developer security education. (That doesn't mean that they're doing this better than each and every individual open source project.)

Some of the people agitating for giving Microsoft more credit about this have personally seen the results, as in-house or contracted developers or auditors.

It can be hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison about what this means for the security of deployed systems because people are potentially using the systems in different ways with kind of different attack surfaces. (For example, quite a few Windows desktop users may still be downloading unsigned binaries from HTTP sites, which Linux users would be less likely to do because of the prevalence of package managers -- though maybe some of those Linux users will do the curl | sh thing from an HTTP site too.)

I don't think that a typical open source project has improved to the extent that Microsoft has during this timeframe, though, again, it's hard to know exactly what to compare or how to compare it.
Last time I used C I set a SIGSEGV handler that printed a stack-trace and exited. Which made debugging somewhat easier. (Although It was often segfaulting in libwayland, which didn't help as much as I would like)

SIGBUS is simialr to SIGSEGV (It happens if a mmap is larger that the backing file and you try to read the unbacked memory).
You basically have to handle it if you don't control the backing file, Eg: with shared memory when the other process resizes it after you've mmap'd it.
libwayland-server can install one for you that replaces the map with 0'd memory.
We were discussing esoteric databases yesterday in the office, and this came up.

Totally disagree from the user's perspective. Every time I try and use Quora for technical reasons, the answers are almost always people selling their product and not offering a constructive solution to the problem asked.

Sure, if the problem is unsolved then it is appropriate. But more often than not, this kind of advertising drowns out actually useful answers. Not least because their 'walk the dinosaur' narrative construction disguises that they are ads until you've read the whole thing.

I was on the fence about this vigilante bricking until reading your comment. Pushing the cost back to the manufacturer in this case should make considerable difference since these are low-cost devices and therefore the cost to the manufacturer of each return will probably cancel the profit of the last ten sold. Those proportions will become hard to ignore.
