OCaml boxes pretty much everything that isn't an integer or a reference (though if you're using arrays/records of floats, those don't suffer an additional level of boxing).

The result is that any type can be represented in a single machine word, making it easy to support polymorphism without specializing code (allowing, e.g., for shared generics).

Keep in mind that OCaml's backend was designed decades ago when machines were much smaller, at a time when C++ was still reluctant to add generics with specialization because of code bloat.
Well, would you want something like this run by someone who has learned that lesson, or by someone who hasn't? :)
Note that that the pendrive itself is potentially "infected" too, sometimes there are OS and file manager bugs resulting in code execution without the user clicking anything.

Java gave GCs a bad name? It made them mainstream!
This line of reasoning feels like it's missing an important piece. If you consider yourself to be unimportant, then why is vanity a bad thing? It won't matter either way, except that you may feel better and be more active.
Yes, code signing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_signing) accomplishes this. It's why you rarely see malicious code running on iPhones -- iOS won't load code into memory at all unless it's signed (except in very special cases like the JavaScript virtual machine, which has to generate code on the fly for performance).
You can use 16 bit Win 3.1 apps on 64 bit Linux with Wine.
It's also worth thinking about time to restore. If you have hundreds of GB worth of backups it could take a very long time to restore everything from the internet. Keeping an easily accessible backup around is really worth it.

The point of modern emoji is that their look is standardized though. (past the original goal of Japanese cell phone communication, the consortium seems to be concerned with filling in gaps and making sure cultures are properly represented) So emoji should (ideally) be a common set of pictograms that people can send to each other and which can be displayed interchangeable by each IME. The Unicode Consortium also has more stringent standards for inclusion. [0] UI icons are excluded. 2.6K isn't a lot, [1] Unicode has tons of room, and no one is forcing you to use them. People have obviously found use for them and it has made them enthusiastic about interacting with their tech overlords. [2] I used to irrationally hate anything popular too, until I made an effort to try to understands people's motivations for liking it and tried it myself. Emoji are the missing expressive layer of our text that express nuance like sarcasm and mirth. Sure we have emoticons, but those were limited and emoji are much more diverse and versatile. [3] Maybe you should give them a try before being so quick to write them off. I don't exactly pepper my texts with them, but I do respect people's motivations for using them and I always make sure to send a popper [4] to my friends on their birthdays.

[1]: Just look at how many Chinese characters there are...

[2]: Campaigns to get certain emoji into unicode are quite popular, such as with the taco emoji (https://www.tacobell.com/feed/tacoemoji) and the dumping emoji (http://www.dumplingemoji.org/).

[3]: Eggplant emoji anyone?

Some years back I was looking into forming a non-profit to do some donation-funded environmental cleanup (not huge - probably on the order of a few tens of thousands of dollars a year). What I learned is that while SOX doesn't apply to non-profits, there are similar SOX-inspired rules that do. The advice from everyone I talked to at various non-profits about how to get set up: Just drop it. The regs require so much paperwork and oversight that it would easily cost 10x that much in compliance and auditing. If you aren't making a BIG non-profit, it's not worth the trouble any more, the overhead will crush you.
Every citizen who doesn't opt out of it, is a digitized citizen.

That means they have a two-factor identity and an secured electronic mailbox hosted by us in the cloud.

So what our addons do is it allows a caseworker to send a document as a PDF directly to a citizen, who can then follow a link to our document signing server and sign it online. They don't need any kind of software to do so, because everything is supplied by us.

If they don't have a computer they can use one at a library our at our town hall. (Which run ubuntu by the way)

I get that you think we wanted office to win in our business case. That's not true, we simply show the political level the facts and they act accordingly.
This is correct; OCaml integers are tagged with their LSB being 1 to indicate they're not a pointer. This means that the integer n is stored as 2n+1, and adding 1 requires modifying the stored value by 2.
We've banned this account for repeatedly posting uncivilly and ignoring our many requests to stop.
If you think the Chinese are so sensitive that one youtube fight has suddenly hurt their pride, then you're a fool.

It's about money. The movie industry, the tourism industry, the martial arts training industry.. they'd all be heavily affected if Chinese martial arts were suddenly shown to be just a gimmick, especially if the person proving a point was in-fact Chinese.

It's about power and respect, which in China (and everywhere else) translates to one's ability to make money. "Don't rock the boat". When so much seniority has been earned by so many people, naturally they'll try to maintain their place.

Yeah I'm not 100% clear on the console waterfall thing, it shows stuff like 'this file was waiting to start downloading for some milliseconds..." then the time to download.

I use Apache, I haven't touched the KeepAlive I guess that is something to look into, a direct ping has a latency of around 300-400ms pretty high I realize... I rent through OVH and their closest data center relative to the Philippines is France... supposedly they have one coming somewhere in Asia like Singapore or something...

We do use Cloudflare but we currently use a free Cloudinary account to host our images and I cached them locally to get around that API/hr request limit. So while Clouflare helps with minizing possibly closer... the "processing" of stuff like querying with PHP/MySQL takes place on the server... I used this awful JOIN or COUNT statement that took like 300ms to execute it was bad... haha. Minor fixes.

It's a growing problem with Amazon that for whatever reason isn't being addressed.

Issues like this are probably due to Amazon's size and culture, which competitors could take advantage of.

Anther example of Amazon doing an unexpectedly poor job was when my brand new seller account was rejected/disabled by mistake, it took significant effort to get any human to look at my case.
Yeah it's somewhat of an exaggeration, but the concept is the same some viral site with garbage-clickbait-content and this guy's like 'Why don't our photos/site load as fast this site' and I'm like... well We don't have expensive technology, we don't have teams of engineers... I'm a guy with two hands and Google... pounding away at the keys like an Ape looking for ants.

Oh well. Someday I will escape! haha

I've used the following method for years and it's really simple. Get an external hard drive and partition it as needed. One for your Time Machine backup and another for data. Use Google Drive to mirror the data and use Arq as your Time Machine in the cloud.
Same, there's a group of Co-ops in Canada here. They do everything from gas to groceries, financial to hardware and other services. The profits are put back into the community and members of its programs receive payouts when they turn a profit.

The only reason I'm a Co-op member? Customer service. They pump my gas, are helpful in store, the workers are paid fairly and members of my community, managers understanding even do grocery delivery at a loss. Hell my buddy can manage a store and provide for his family as opposed to scraping by.

Kind of tangential to OPs post, but I'm getting disillusioned and sick of watching community funds get transferred away to accounts somewhere else. Fuck that, I'll pay the slight premium.
"used to use" is an interesting endorsement. Why don't you use it anymore?
DOSBox can't run various firmware update and low-level hardware diagnostics tools that are still used in real life under DOS running on bare metal.

And Windows XP might be out of support but it still is used in some places too. And even if it wasn't, somebody could still think of using it as a test case to increase coverage. It would be extremely lame if some bug which crashes newer Windows in 0.1% of cases turned out to be trivially detectable in XP.
I would think having a week or a month's worth of data is enough to get rid of such people who are "background noise", and get an accurate enough "who's talking to who" mapping. (Something like, "A and B's presence are within a minute of each other for 80% of the time, even during 'off-peak' times, for example early in the morning.").

We are worried about the NSA collecting metadata, but you dismiss this as an end user problem. Famously this is why Facebook has its settings to be opt-out instead of opt-in, because a high percentage of users never changes the default.

It is difficult to imagine. A large part of it would have to be evidence of a elaborate conspiracy, and if I began to ever uncover such a thing I'd probably start by questioning my sanity. Imagine how difficult it would be for someone to try to convince you that not only did the Holocaust not happen, but neither did all of WWII- as a biologist I'd say YEC would be about as equally difficult to convince me of.

Ah, my bad. I thought browser support for SVGs was pretty robust at this point. I've gone ahead and rasterized all the images (save for the inline equations), but clicking on the images will still take you to the original SVGs.

Then what about the following sentence?

This must be the case because the generalisation performance can vary significantly while they all remain unchanged.

Maybe it was just me, but I read an implied "alone" in the sentence you quoted, ie:

"Or in other words: the model, its size, hyperparameters, and the optimiser, alone, cannot explain the generalisation performance of state-of-the-art neural networks."

The thing about regression tests, is that this mistake won't be made again. Now AMD will add these tests. For now, they may issue microcode updates or workaround patches for popular VM software.

You don't catch ever bug with a suite of unit tests. But automated regression tests do ensure you don't replicate a failure condition.
Correct.[1]

There are two ways you can get that though:

1. You can harvest current-cycle solar, as captured or availed by PV, solar thermal, wind, hydro, (pipe dream / ineffective) wave energy, or biomass.

2. You can draw down an existing store of solar energy input deposited, with some inefficiency, as hydrocarbon fuels: coal, oil, gas (including methane hydrates, should you choose to go there).[2]

The difference is that in 1) you're deriving value from a continuing series of deposits, of approximately 84 terawatts,[3] or roughly 2,000 TWh (170 billion mtoe, 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent), an allowance shared with all other life-forms, and ecological / biospheric processes on the planet (we might care to consider those requirements before hiving of yet more for ourselves). The practical value derived remains a small fraction of the influx.

In the case of 2), you're spending down what is effectively an inheritance, at the rate of approximately 5 million times its initial rate of accumulation. This suggests that the spending-down is not particularly sustainable, even barring consideration of any other issues presented.

Of which I'm informed there are several.

The point remains that as you process that energy chain, each stage of the process leaves less useful or usable energy going out than came in, the balance being waste energy (entropy).

Specialized devices like microsocopes or military devices/radars should be handled under the "flimsy IoT devices" category. You won't be allowed to put them among common workstations in most managed Windows environments either, they're liable to get stuck on ancient OS versions etc.

I've heard about this thought process often and I feel that the root cause is that tying your self-worth to your "usefulness" to others or to society at large is ultimately self-defeating.
I have a number of projects that make use of self-reference. Although not using the particular method in this article and instead of passing code through an interpreter, it passes some first-thing into a second-thing which gives another first-thing that can again be given to second-thing. They're also all very self-referential.

Isn't it harder to deallocate the data if you actually check that it's unused, as a GC must, instead of just assuming it?
The real world doesn't update in 2 months. (I wish it did.)

The NSA should have responsibly disclosed the vulnerabilities they had been sitting on as soon as they were discovered.

That protects national security - not this.
To concur with my sibling commenter zie (who said that tarsnap is not that expensive):

$ tarsnap --print-stats
Total size Compressed size
All archives 1418275826434 1212480481405
(unique data) 5342739088 2957847871

Ie, I have ~1.3TB of data stored in total but I am only being charged ($0.0239 US per day) for what amounts to ~2.75GB after deduplication and compression.

Mind you, I have not compared tarsnap's prices to those of equivalent services, but it seems pretty reasonably-priced to me.
> It's probably a terrible way to frame it. Maybe a better way is to say something like "People whose lives do not revolve solely around pursuit of the almighty dollar."

Yes, but the notion that the lives of those in poverty revolve less around the pursuit of money seems far removed from reality. Poor people struggle to make ends meet. This means taking awful jobs they don't want, eating low quality food, not affording sick leave etc. Only wealthy people can afford not to worry about it. I can not "place a high priority on money" for a year and still make ends meet while not worrying for a second that I won't be able to get another well-paying job by the time I feel like it. It's because I am not poor.

Sure, there are vagrants and hobos whose lives revolve around the pursuit of food and shelter rather than money, but that's kind of the exception that proves the rule.
I'm looking forward to the day we can operate dedicated, proprietary GPUs like black boxes we can turn on and off at will as optional accelerators. :-)
Agreed. And doing that will put a lot of money into demand, which translates into more and better business opportunities.

I visit the great places created by CCC, WPA type efforts and value them, even in their often current state of disrepair.

I would use time machine capsule and periodically (weekly?) connect an encrypted external drive and Borg backup there. Next week a second drive, third week the first one...

Always keep one of this drive off-site.

This is just one of many options how to get reasonably safe (I use an almost this one just deja-dup instead of time machine.)

I agree. Using quote is basically using the Lisp parser to do the work and is almost like reading the source program as input. It would have been interesting if their program contained a parser (which I think wouldn't be too distracting because of homoiconicity).

I found this an interesting read anyways especially when they start parametrizing the quine by a function F near the end. Although my interest shouldn't be that much of a surprise given my username:

I think part of the issue is that in areas where there's not super abundant public transit that the majority of the population uses instead of cars, the likelihood of having a negative encounter with the type of people that are so unpleasant that you'd normally do anything possible to avoid them goes up significantly. My personal anecdote: when I lived in DC I never had any problems with the Metro buses or trains even in the poorer areas. When I lived in a coastal county in the panhandle of Florida I would sometimes take a bus on one of the very few lines that existed, serviced exclusively by very small buses and only a few times a day. During one of my trips I had to step in to stop this older man in his late 30's from physically harassing underage girls which led to police involvement. Turns out that he had been a problem for the bus line for a while but they couldn't ban him from the system because he was threatening to involve some civil liberties group in a discrimination case. I stopped taking the bus after that.

Pretty safe until a machine in the network gets infected. The first infection comes from a phishing email or similar. From then on, the worm infects other machines connected to the same network, but usually not across the internet.

It uses a vulnerability in a protocol that's used for network sharing, and that's usually blocked at your router
Speaking of the car, it has a receiver scanning that band, it should just detect that there's a jamming signal, and somehow prompt the driver to use the physical key to get in. Do modern cars still have physical keys?
Report warns computers may threaten constitutional rights (1982)
Unused data is by definition unreachable from any GC roots and should not incur additional tracing work.
"Civil rights in the future could be threatened by a bloodless adversary -- the computer.

"That's the opinion of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment in a 116-page report released late last year.

"'Extensive data collection and possibly surveillance by government and private organizations could, in fact, suppress or 'chill' freedoms of speech, assembly, and even religion by implicit threats contained in such collection or surveillance,' the report said....

"[T]the use of an electronic funds transfer system to gather the same type of information would be far more intrusive, since much more data, some of it of a highly personal nature, could be collected in secret."

John P. Mello, Jr., writing in 1982.
Buy car or buy a horse is the same and vastly different of the point I was making. Not everything needs to go to the international companies.
