Don't leave us hanging like that ... do you have anything interesting to add to the very minimal wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digi-Comp_I). I would imagine you have some great stories!
My favorite from back then was MyWebOS.

Long dead, doesn't even have a Wikipedia article, but it impressed me that they could do a desktop GUI back then without resorting to Java or Flash.
I think the claim as written is dubious, but the point is that our capacity to store information far exceeds our ability to recall information, and we can effectively recall things only because we forget so much.

There are a few people with a condition called hyperthymesia, like Jill Price, and the condition generally has a profound negative impact on their lives.
I think RimWorld and Prison Architect are great opportunities for bigger studios.
Presumably, if you're using the composition, it's hardened against the length-extension attack in the first place, right?

I mean the advantage seems to only be there when you're cobbling together your own constructions, i.e. doing what you shouldn't be doing.
> For low training set sample sizes it looks like the simpler method (just picking the top 10 and using a linear model) slightly outperforms the more complicated methods.

This is a very bad argument for the given clickbaity headline. A methodology that works well for one dataset with few observations will not necessarily work well for another dataset.

You can do almost whatever you want with small datasets, it's just harder than with big data (and is necessary if obtaining data is expensive, e.g. medical trials). Specifically, you'll want to do bootstrapping to simulate additional data and reduce the uncertainty due to a low amount of data.

The "almost" is that you can't have hundreds of features if you have a small dataset (Curse of Dimensionality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_dimensionality)
Yup. I write embedded systems in Qt that sometimes need PC-based counterpart programs, typically configuration editors.

When I write the PC side of the system I can usually port the necessary support code right out of the embedded project in a few minutes.

I'll also build PC versions of the embedded GUIs for sales demonstrations. My sales team loves that.

High end watches serve the same function as jewelry. They're also magnificent pieces of art and engineering in many cases.

If you just want something that keeps time, the $20 Casio is fine. In fact, most people I know just look at their phones. However, there's elegance and sophistication present in a luxury watch that you don't get with a simple digital watch.
It's not just an idea, I've used it to learn about 2000 Hebrew words, albeit in a somewhat different form and along with other methods/materials.

I'm a somewhat experienced language learner. I'm fully aware that words have multiple meanings but that's not as problematic as you think. A lot of distinct meanings of "run" are related, so it's not like you need to memorize every one individually. Besides, they aren't all equally important. In many cases, those different meanings are paralled in my native language (or another language I know), e.g you can translate "run" as "correr" in "he runs", "the river runs..." and "they ran the risk...". More to the point, I always study words in context. In this method the context is provided by the rest of the sentence.
That massive storage is often still using a heavily constrained data connection. Apple, for example, won't let you download an app over 100MB over cellular data. You want to really try to keep your app under that limit, otherwise a lot of potential users will abandon the app if they discover it while they're not on WiFi.
The game also has a horrible habit of turning people into arrogant know-it-all armchair rocket scientists.

>no longer being able to watch most space movies due to frustration caused by the filmmakers not grokking basic orbital physics

Oh boy, this again. Are you not able to watch movies with guns because Rainbow Six taught you how guns work and now you're just too woke to suspend disbelief?

Something about this game causes people to feel the need to signal all their knowledge of science by putting down things for not being pure enough.
Okay, cool. But when do we get genuinely clever and learn to support the body's own defenses instead?
The article is spot on, but also misses a simple thing: like in all hypes, DL hype is built on human irrationality. Most people do not understand DL well (or at all) but they see some high profile teams boasting about their success over and over. So, if I would just use that magical DL tool, just like them, maybe I would do those awesome things. Of course, there is also a simpler, more mundane explanation: beefing up the CV with yet another hyped technology. Hadoop: check; blockchain: check; Deep Learning: check. Maybe even deep learning in the blockchain distributed over a million-node Hadoop cluster. Keep them coming!
If I recall correctly she was one of the analysts pumping the internet stocks during the dotcom boom and bust. IIRC (and I might not) she was also advising select clients to sell in the early stages of the bust as she publicly kept issuing strong buy recommendations on the same stocks for general audience. Thus I tend to view her analysis with a lot of salt.

Here is a first non-paywall link from 2001 on Mary Meeker and dotcoms. Make your own conclusions.

Possibly true, but the parent to my comment suggested the problem was safety/environmental regulation, which is unlikely to be the main contributor to the problem.
This is an interesting theory, but any attempt at explaining why the US in particular is bad at large-scale infrastructure also has to explain why other countries are so much better at it.

The litigousness argument seems to be interesting from that perspective, but I'd be hard-pressed to believe that France or Germany are less detail-oriented in their planning, given that the same tools that allow better blueprinting are available everywhere.
Length extension attacks are idiosyncratic to hash functions with a particular underlying design (Merkle-Damgard compression). They are the reason we have HMAC. AEADs built on MACs that are not built on general-purpose hash functions don't have that problem.
They could require a root ssl cert to be installed and then just MITM all the traffic. And Org that wants to protect personal data might be willing to do something stupid like that.
They didn't say it was disappointing. They said it was "the worst" to have white males talk about diversity. Is the implication anything other than "your gender and the color of your skin make your opinions on this topic worth [less|nothing]"? I don't see how it could be.

Personally if I'm going to a tech conference I want to hear about tech, not about HR. But if you want to have talks on diversity it makes sense the speakers on that topic would be largely representative of speakers generally, which is mostly white males.
The question is more, "what capabilities do they have that other companies don't", and I suspect the answer is "extreme proficiency at the federal RFP process".
An African government official visits Europe. There, a European government official invites him to his luxury home. The African is shocked.

He asks "How can you afford such a house if you a just a government official?"

The European says: "Look out of the window. can you see the bridge?"

The African: "Yes"

The European: "See, the government paid for two train tracks but the bridge has only one."

The African says: "I understand".

2 years later the European official visits the African in Africa. He invites him into his house and his house is a luxury palace.

Now the European is shocked. He asks "How can you afford such a palace? Recently you were so impressed with house and now you live in a palace?"

The African says: "Look out of the window. can you see the bridge our taxpayers paid for?"

The European: "No."

I'm a private company (or private billionaire). I like your opponent. I put ads up on TV for them using my money. How can anyone stop me without it being a First Amendment violation?

And while it isn't giving that politician money, there are plenty who will recognize that my paying for their add is giving them a service that is worth money. It isn't quite as direct as donating, but the effect is the same.
Either the IDE/editor is able to assist you or you have to consult the documentation regularly.

That's just how it is.

JS' standard library, for example, is really tiny but I haven't memorized all of it. If the editor can't clue me in, I have to check the docs.
I know people who are very engaging and entertaining when speaking, but who are frankly not creative or clever enough to have anything ground-breaking to say. On the flip side there are people who are terrible speakers who do have ground-breaking things to say.

In a different sphere, there are people who are naturally very funny but fail as professional comedians. There are people who are not naturally witty who do make good comedians, due to approaching it like a challenge of writing and performance.

I don't think you can simply say that people who are unable to wing it aren't worth listening to. Having said that, I do admire people that can wing it.
Just to be clear, I absolutely include "male" and "female" in my remark about making arbitrary categories; my interrogation was concerning why not make it "decline to state" for everyone by default.

Thank you for taking the time to write and share this.
OP points out the costs of this. You point out the benefits.

Both true. But the interesting question is if and when the costs outweigh the benefits.
well their hosted version is "US East (Ohio)" only and spinning up a own cluster is sometimes overkill.

I'm a complete layperson to the topic, but wouldn't having more attack avenues that must be evolved against also result in more resources dedicated to survival and eventually compromise the dangerous impact bacteria could have in the first place? i.e. if it's spending energy building anti-anti-bacterial mechanisms, it's not spending as much energy replicating or producing a toxin or whatever.

I remember seeing an animated graphic of survey results over time (Past ~20 years) that showed the left has been getting lefter at ~5x the rate that the right is getting righter.

I'm curious what would explain this.
As the article (and you) point out, the datacenter and mobile space is already lost to Intel and ARM respectively. The only path forward is through the IoT space. It's the only area where you might need something even smaller than ARM.
It seems to me that part of the solution might be working to develop solutions that don't prevent the other side from achieving their desires. My ideal vision of how America works (e.g. the American dream as I see it) is that everyone is free to live according to their own way of life and society works for win-win solutions. However, it seems to me that both sides are afraid that if the other side wins they will try to force their lifestyle on them; and I think they are probably right.
This seems like a weird and hardly surprising piece.

The idea that one of two political ideas is 'right' or that that even matters is utterly absurd.

The whole point of politics is to find solutions that resolve conflicting desires.

Polarization happens when the solutions simply don't do that.

The problem should not be framed as 'how to get people to change their desires and beliefs' to match a political ideology. The challenge is to come up with some new ways of looking at things that resolve the differences.
I thought the entire point of Brave was to have ads, but share the revenue.

Also, you're using the "verify" function incorrectly. Take a look at the documentation for that function; it doesn't do what you think it does anyway. So even on non-Mac platforms, you weren't verifying the peer certificate.

I'm going to stop looking at that QSsl API. It looks very poorly designed.

Much of the value of a SAAS/Cloud service is that the operational costs are so reduced. We talk a lot here about the explosion in complexity in tech (front end stacks, different OSs, security, mobile+desktop etc.) but rarely about how to really manage them.

SAAS services are typically wildly, crazily cheaper than hiring people to either do the services or to support an internally setup and managed application to do the same.
At least you should try to get your account number from the Ethereum Team. Then monitor your account once a year or so. in the unlikely event that someone (ex GHCS / google admin, ai, hacker, ...) ever sends money from your account there are ways to get them.
Perhaps also Back In The Day, Big Picture things were over-engineered.

I guess also, ever do a home renovation on a house > 40 years old? You usually walk into a disaster of things not up to code. These days, it would just be done correctly, just as cheap as possible, and not built to last. Most recent housing developments near here are just ways for developers to make money and run, as the infrastructure (housing, not utilities, etc) is not going to last all that long. The developers don't care - they'll be enjoying their profits States away, as the city that is home to their developments are quickly crumbling.

Not that I'm bitter on the changing landscape of my city, or anything. But a housing boom has dark sides.
I think his point wasn't that doing conferences makes it easier to do more conferences, but that doing a big, headlining conference, and doing a great job, makes it easier to do that conference again another year.

Does anyone know if the project releases all its assets in one license?
It's not Unity. It's the art assets. When you go to download Unity or Unreal, they have all these gorgeous photos of games made with their engines. That doesn't mean using their engine is going to make your game gorgeous. It means that you can pay money for a good artist to create good art and it will run in their engine.

Well-crafted art assets are far more important to the look of a game than the specific engine that is used. The reason some "lesser" platforms like WebGL or the various open source game engines look so bad is because they are far more accessible to beginners, beginners who don't have access to good assets.

livestock farmers have to get a vet to prescribe their antibiotics. Even a few years ago when they didn't they were not allowed to use antibiotics that were useful in humans.

Antibiotic resistance is a real thing, but livestock farmers were not a major concern. Those farmers were consistent and controlled in their use (and couldn't sell anything with detectable levels of antibiotics in it). The real problem was humans who got an antibiotic take it a couple times, felt better and stopped, allowed the bacteria that had a little resistance to survive.
It is amazing I'll grant, but it is useful? Are they building cities for nobody to live in, roads that nobody will travel, and bridges to nowhere? If so (which they have been accused of though I don't know the facts) it is wasted effort. All those workers could have stayed home to play go in the park and been just as productive without the environmental downsides of building infrastructure.

Note that building infrastructure "too far" in advance is wasted effort. You end up with infrastructure designed for yesterdays needs that needs updating when you need it. (ie houses with coax that cannot handle digital TV, not wired to internet.) You also lose any useful advances that might happen (brand new never used air conditioners that use so much energy you can buy a new one just on the energy savings over a couple years)

Use you need to plan and build for tomorrow. However do not do too much as you don't know what tomorrow will bring.

This is a bit weirdly stated for this case, I believe. The Brave tokens have value because they offer advertising space in the browser. You're speculating on the value of that advertising space, not so much on an altcoin/token itself.

The ones I think of often have a government that either doesn't have the ability to regulate the things a libertarian thinks they should (libertarians aren't generally anarchist, and so their desired government would function to some extent) or the government does have the ability to regulate but uses it arbitrarily for corrupt interests (and so a startup company that does well enough will eventually be forced to comply with the government wishes).

There's the flipside to consider too: ICE car prices are as low as they are today because of huge efficiencies of scale in existing engine supply chains and also a large inventory of used cars. Used car inventory is something that will market align over time. Engine supply chain disruptions are hard to predict, but can snowball quickly.
"CUDA" is not a particular application. You could very well be doing something with CUDA that does extremely little data transfer to/from the host, but a lot of computation on the GPU. Like mining :D

Also, host to device can be bottlenecked by memory speed on either side.
That has more to do with Unity being more accessible to beginners, thus more titles being released by less experienced people.

It is with Unity because it equals bad performance. It isn't like other games which, if you throw a beefy rig at it, you get more performance for the most part. It has a "It is 2001 and my Flash Player Animation is running at 24fps and the fans are burning out" feel to it.
The idea is that the Brave platform will allow users to send micropayments to content publishers. The micropayments will be in the form of "Brave Coins" which are like Bitcoins but specific to the Brave platform. The reason for this is that you reduce transaction costs to a point where it makes sense to send a $0.50 (or whatever) payment.

So if the Brave platform succeeds then you'll have a whole bunch of people who want to exchange cash for these "Brave Coins" so they can send micropayments. These early investors will hold all the Brave Coins and so they will get the initial influx of cash from people buying Brave Coins to use the platform.

Edit: Possibly the coins are being used by advertisers on the platform, not for micropayments.
I didn't expect similar execution time between them, not sure where you got that idea.
He helps resolved complex litigation issues out of court. Litigation can take 1 to 2 years in the court and cost millions of dollars. In a 1-day session, he can resolve 95% of these cases and help both parties come to an amicable agreement. People's lives and time are no longer wasted in long drawn out court battles.

Just a side note, most mediators are former lawyers. After many years of practice, they seek a better way to resolve conflicts. The pay isn't bad either.

One more thing. Randy is actually one of the best mediators in the world. After the 9/11 attacks in New York, Randy was called in to mediate and arbitrate the case with the insurance companies and tenants. After 2 years, they were able to come to an agreement and the resulting funds allowed for the area to be rebuilt.

I'm excited by RISC-V. It has some interesting architectural decisions.

Remember the ARM started in the 1980s was solid but not a breakout architecture until the early 2000s. The x86's roots lie in the 70s and it took a killer app (IBM PC) to make it dominant. GCC took about a decade to get any traction.

So it's early days for RISC-V
