Julia is JITed, but not in the same sense that (say) JavaScript is. It's more like a very lazy AOT compiler – and it can certainly hold its own against Fortran. That's not to say it has every optimisation it could, but the JIT is not the bottleneck there.

1.0 will be out around midway through the year, so that will ease the growing pains.

While agree with you - it was always noted in the fine print that there would be losers in the globalization game - it just wasn't stated that 95% of us would lose, while .1% would win bigly.
Holy crap! I'll keep that in mind next time my registrations are up. This combined with their unwillingness to make proper 2FA a priority (a tweet told me they were 'setting up the infrastructure' 3 months ago) is a strong signal to look elsewhere.
Why not just write it yourself? The api has been stable for a while, so it should only take you a couple hours to get something basic for your internal needs.
Assuming that black founders have less of a shot at raising money and women have less of a shot at making money, then it would be obvious that black women have even less of a shot at raising money. Mathematically speaking.

I'm not sure whether that bias actually exists, but lets assume that it does.

What this means is really just that you can't be Juicero. Do you want to be Juicero? Being biased against by VC only works against you if you want to be part of the VC lunacy. If you build a real company with actual value, your race won't matter. Maybe a little bit. Maybe even a lot. Maybe you don't get the inflated price some companies get, but raising money is not a competition. You just want to raise the money that you need, not top the Series A olympics.

If you don't view raising money as a competition, you will be fine. You are not a statistic. People make the mistake of viewing themselves as the outcome of a statistic. Statistics don't work that way. If one of those articles says that "only .4% of funded companies have black female founders", that does not imply that "of all the black female founders who apply, only .4% get funded". It just means that there are not many black female founders with VC funding. Could have any number of reasons.

Maybe one of those reasons is that black women have a hard time even getting into a position in life where they would consider trying to raise money. That is a big political and socioeconomic problem, but it is not YOUR problem. Just because there are not many of X, doesn't mean its hard for you to be X. Could be really easy. Do not get discouraged by statistics.

If you build a company that is worth investing in, someone will see it.

>You are saying that if he is right then it's probably not accurate?

No, I'm saying its overwhelmingly unlikely that he's right, and that even if we're agnostic about which reasonable epistemological framework we use, there's SO much evidence against his perspective that it isn't important.

>if the mind is deterministic how can we change our views - how can the position be useful? Things are, and you will, or will not.

I've never understood this line of reasoning. If my perceptor is the output of a baynesian evaluation that uses information as an input, receiving new information may or may not change the output.

How can a (meat)machine learning algorithm ever change from it's starting state? Well, it is provided more cycles, changes state, and accordingly changes output. This doesn't mean that a machine learning algo needs to be non-deterministic and non-verifiable in order to change from state to state.

As for the utility argument, I think there's a tremendous amount of utility to be gained from understanding how consciousness actually works, even if it is the we-are-bio-robots outcome.
I might not have made my point very clear, I agree with you, its all a big smokescreen and at the end of the day they do what they've always done - cut taxes on the wealthy. The people who felt Trump was a protest vote was really just a vote for the same party and the same results that haven't helped them in decades. Its sad for me because my family (who usually fall for the gun-control fears part of the platform) keep doing the same thing and expecting different results but don't bother to blame the people they've been voting for year after year and instead blame the people that the people they voted for work against year after year.

> Yes and no. I think the gov't has been highly influential in ensuring the gains from it go to capital and that its negative effects on labor are not reined in. Globalization would have happened anyway but the govt's approach to it has resulted in more inequality and dislocation than was necessary.

This is most certainly true. And I think dmix hit on a very important point when he mentioned that its hard for politicians to sell a future thats not all rosy and prosperous for everyone.

Off the bat, one of the things the US Govt. could most certainly have done is provide Universal Healthcare and some kind of funding for expanding basic education. I think about all that money earned by US corporations lying abroad...if you think about it, if we had a better taxation system, the strength of US corporations, their ability to generate such profits from around the globe could have been deployed to make all (or most) Americans have better healthcare and education.

We're using Haskell to produce an entire compute platform for building, composing, and running type-safe containerised micro-services for data science. This certainly touches on a lot of the areas that Haskell is traditionally known for being good at, e.g. building DSLs, type systems, interpreters, etc.

However, the work also includes a runtime platform that is more low-level, including building our own container system, talking to the Linux kernel, using cgroups/resource management, and distributed message passing - areas where languages such as Go have found a niche, and may be classified as Real World.
However for us, Haskell's type-safety, runtime performance, and extensive ecosystem has been a boon even in this domain. We effectively use it as an (incredibly powerful) general-purpose language here, and it's worked more than fine.

We're currently at around 15,000 lines of code with a team of 5 Haskellers, and it hasn't really been a problem regarding performance, understanding the codebase, or with newcomers to the team.

(plug - we're at https://www.github.com/nstack/nstack and are hiring more Haskellers)

> be intelligent, e.g. able to effectively achieve its goals

Well, a lot of very intelligent people never achieve their goals either.

I'd suggest that intelligence is not the achievement of goals but the formulation of goals. And funny enough, people generally have no self-awareness about how they come to have goals. Some kid grows up wanting to be a fighter pilot. Why? Why does some other kid want to be a writer?

Why do I like peach ice cream more than chocolate? Achieving the goal of getting some peach ice cream is a lot easier than understanding why I want to.

Intelligent beings want things, on their own. Rational consciousness is just the tool we use to get what we want. The importance of articulated self-awareness to intelligence is probably overstated by humans.

Give me proof of the existence of true randomness without referencing wavefunction realization.

I think free will is the ability to make conscious choices. These choices are guided by a chaotic, but ultimately deterministic preference function, which itself can be modified by conscious choice. You could argue that the deterministic preference function is a negation of free will, but I think the separation in the causal chain between condition and response is significant. There are lots of cases where there is no experience of choice mediating the transition from condition to response, so I think that feeling is indicative of something meaningful.
I actually eat more when sober in general than I do when I'm stoned. Not only that, but I enjoy the food better when stoned and tend to cook slightly healthier. Of course, I have never quite made it a habit to have that sort of snack food around either. Hunger can be nearly unbearable when sober, but I don't mind so much when I'm stoned. To top it all off, I enjoy basic exercise (walking, mostly) more with a bit of a buzz.

On the other hand, I truly need to eat if I'm drinking lest I get an upset stomach.

A “career Storm”: Greensburg, KS Tornado
Regarding the mistakes section, the technical side of that is something I've also experienced. When you're working with smartphone derived hardware and platforms you get a pretty sophisticated platform that can do a lot, but it also takes a lot of effort to get everything working and stable. And you'll need to know how to use everything from linux build tools to an oscilloscope. And then 18 months to 2 years later, a new generation or hardware is out so you get to start again :-/. Very labor intensive.

Back in 2002 I ran LFS for a semester and a half. Then I got tired of saving all my ./configure flags and switch to Redhat and gained a respect for package management. :-P Eventually I started using Gentoo.

Still, I'm really glad I built and ran an LFS for nearly a year. It helped me build a really in-dept knowledge of Linux that's helped me as I later moved into embedded development.

Today I still use Gentoo (which feels like LFS with package management) and Void and would recommend either for Linux devs.
Don't be "surprised if", don't make blurfy engineer claims--cite your sources or withdraw your claims of safety that do nothing but encourage other people to undertake risk on behalf of your ideology.

Anecdote is the plural of data: I have never smoked tobacco, ever, and am a frequent marijuana user.

One thing is an easter egg for enabling debug stuff in order to help diagnosis, and another, a super user backdoor, which in my opinion, should be legislated: i.e. in case it exists, it should be disabled by default, or having a big warning (labeled in the box, with a removable stick, or whatever), so you can choose before the purchase.
In the US. I'm not sure about many other countries but, in the UK at least, there isn't even a discussion around legalizing marijuana for any use case (not even medical really). It was big news this week when the first prescription marijuana was given however it was non-THC oil and given to a severely ill child. That's how far behind things are here.

"Since you are likely to use open source frameworks. Go to the Github repo of the respective framework. Search the error in the issues section and you are likely to find your solution. If not, open an issue."

Hopefully people don't misconstrue this to be "I got an exception (mis)using this framework, HALP". It's hard to search for real bugs if Github issues becomes a help desk.

but it's not that different than what you'd get with other programming languages.

Until you have to solve a (maddeningly common) space leak issue. That's a problem unique to lazily evaluated languages (basically Haskell) and is godawful to debug.

It reminds me of solving git problems... you suddenly find yourself having to tear back the abstraction layer that is the language and compiler and start thinking about thunks and so forth.

It's jarring and incredibly frustrating.

I feel much less replaceable, since I have rights. You can say "nope" to your boss. You can't do that to your customer if he's the only one paying your rent this month. And the smaller you are the more others will push you around, not because they are mean but because they don't have to think about you, and just like you they are tired and barely get done more than 80% of what they want to do. And in some cases people are really parasites and will suck dry everything that's too weak to fight back.

I agree. There could be a lot of improvements that can be done to telephone. Of course, they might have tradeoffs (privacy vs. convenience). That's where providing multiple options to the user comes handy.

Some of the improvements (just top of my mind): crowd-sourced list of scammers, telemarketers. For outgoing calls: automapping phone numbers to business/user names, automatically using the best way to route the call based on call rates (WiFi vs cellular vs. multipath TCP) etc.

I was a solo for 10+ years. I rented an office when my kids were too little to simultaneously grasp the ideas that 1) I liked them and wanted them near me and 2) I could not actually have them near me right now. When they were old enough to understand I moved back home. It didn't make much of a difference in terms of productivity for me.

One thing that did help was a sense that my workspace was both mine and a place for work. I needed to know that and no one had the right to interrupt or try and shoo me away. Public spaces never worked for me because other people had a right to them, too, and they could bring their kids or ask me questions about the nearest chair or whatever. I could concentrate better knowing that was true. It was worth money to me.
