Summary from the Berkeley Deep RL Bootcamp
Programming languages are tools for developers. They are taught in the service of software development. Optimizing for teaching has it backwards.

It can be a factor: but to place it higher than startup time is prioritising the one-off teaching experience of a few over the repeated development experience of many. For a tool for development. Crazy, no?

When most people say Agile they mean Scrum. Scrum great up around the culture of web consulting. That makes it a good way to do web consulting, an alright way to do web development, and a pretty bad way to do anything else.

> Is this the seemingly-pointless "memory test" all computers do?

I think that the classic case was that the computer wrote and read to/from every memory address to check that the memory reported present was actually there. I'm not positive, but I think that most machines these days do a cut-down version of that to save time.

I also think that auto-adjusting the timing is probably a separate process.

I solve a lot of this problem by not logging in to YouTube, by using search (often DDG's !yt <pattern>), and by browsing under Incognito such that my YouTube history is effectively continuously purged.

The searches mean that what I'm shown in a specific session tend to be related to that session's focus, and not random other stuff from 18 months ago.

It's a tremendous incentive to not log in to YouTube.

Intel's domination in gaming and "low level" workstation is getting tenuous at best, and that's why they need to shake their entire lineup at that level too and doing several line release in a single year (which is hilarously obvious as to how unprepared they were).

Yes, in pure per core performance intel still has a nice edge of roughly 10%, and yes games mostly care about single core perf, and yes if you want to make the best gaming machine money can buy you still go for intel.

But gaming has not been CPU bound for quite some time, and amd's proposition there is not "the same thing, little bit less expensive and little bit less powerful", it's "the same price, little bit less powerful by core but still not cpu bound, and we give you twice the cores". Intel might very well fix that by the end of the year but right now you want a 600 - 1000 € gaming machine there is a very good chance you go for Ryzen.

And of course that's why AMD did that, they did not go crazy with core count to be nice, they did it because that's what they finally needed to get over that "but intel's still ahead and there is no reason to go with amd if you don't need to save fifty bucks".

My only objection is the dogmatism. Asking why something is the way it is is obviously worthwhile.

Perhaps you just have more faith in people to behave reasonably than I do.
That's my next alternative if I can't find a suitable (for me) alternative.

However I would prefer not to have the NAS on all the time, mostly because I only backup seldomly (since I don't really generate that much data, so losing a month or so is not that bad. Really critical stuff I backup directly to tarsnap though), and because where I live, the quality of the electricity is really bad. I get unexpected blackouts once a month at least, if not more, and voltage/current changes a few times a week, so even though I use voltage regulators and such, I like to be extra safe with my backup hardware, so the less time they spend connected to the grid, the better for me.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I believe (can't confirm) I've lost data over the years due to electricity issues.
I would say that change in general is always triggered by the 'business' so this is a common is knowledge. If a business decides to change how they do business, then the requirements change as well as what is needed. This would include what skills are needed to do the work.

Since it sounds like you very much favor agile, I'm curious about your take on the following questions:

- What adaptations to classic agile have you seen successful teams make that you think were very smart decisions?

- What sort of project is agile best for? worst for?

- How can agile help to find product-market fit? Or is it completely separate from that?

- What sort of alternative project management approach do you think has failed so often that Agile became necessary as a fundamental rethink of the old way?
Yeah, that article is shit, so here's some real data.

Benchmarks:

- Top AMD Threadripper model vs Top Intel I9 X-series currently being sold (same cpu as Xeon W-2155, just without ECC): https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd-tr-1...

14 and 18 core Xeon-W and i9 processors have only been announced, but are not available yet.

We already know that the Intel 18-core parts will have a base clock of 2.3 GHz vs 3.3 GHz of the one tested above, both parts have 4 memory channels.

The 16-core AMD Threadripper from that benchmark runs at 3.4GHz base clock and has 4 memory channels, the 32-core AMD EPYC runs at 2.2GHz base clock and has 8 memory channels.

-- Educated guesses and extrapolation starts here--

Intel 10-core vs 18-core:

+80% more cores

-30% base clock

Assuming perfect core & clock scaling: 1.8 * 0.7 = 1.26

AMD 16-core vs 32-core

+100% more cores

-35% base clock

Assuming perfect core & clock scaling: 2 * 0.65 = 1.3

Even ignoring double memory bandwidth AMD is likely to increase any advantage (or catch up in AVX2-heavy workloads) over Intel.

I'm only looking at base clocks, because Intel CPUs are not able to maintain boost clock for any meaningful amount of time, even with water cooling - the package doesn't transfer heat from the die fast enough. AMDs fare quite a bit better, but few people will bother with water cooling their workstations.

The chance of my implementation being folded into Clojure, as opposed to whatever Rich writes himself, is definitely tiny. But there's no telling when he might get around to it, so the best way to stay sane is to assume it will never happen.

Clojure occupies a really nice local maximum, and I don't think any other language is trying to compete for that niche. Since Clojure is just a Java library, it's relatively easy for you to extend or replace any part of it, so I don't think the future is a concern for anyone who enjoys the language and is motivated to use it.

Rather, I worry about the growth of the community, since that's largely predicated on the out-of-the-box experience. As an author and consultant who is focused on Clojure, that affects me far more than a company which builds its product using Clojure (assuming you're willing to hire people with an interest in FP and teach them the rest in their first month). I don't claim expertise in how to grow a community around a language, but it seems to be at best a part-time job for the people at Cognitect, which is not ideal.

I soured up on Net Neutrality after seeking what YouTube/Facebook/Twitter/Reddit did to silence voices that they don't like on their platforms.

If you're writing a python library, you should already be aware that there's only _so much_ you can do to prevent the library's users from using it incorrectly or oddly - this is Python after all, there's no private/protected.

From that perspective, I don't see the problem with returning a namedtuple, if you document it and write your changelogs appropriately when/if you add a field.
Yup. You can't assume that what you think a 3/5 means is the same as what someone else thinks a 3/5 means. You can basically assume that for thumbs up/down. And really, the question you want answered is "how likely am I to like this", and thumbs-up % of the overall population is a decent proxy for that for good reason.

Google _is_ a monopoly and so are Amazon, Microsoft, Uber, Walmart, and several others. I think we will eventually replace these oversized companies with something like sophisticated semantic protocols.
Maybe the problem is with stars and wording. Currently most of systems are worded (e.g. amazon) in a way that 3 stars is the base and people would add stars if their expectations were exceeded and remove them if they were not met. However at all places that I have seen it is like you say 5 stars is for expectations being met and it only goes downhill from that.

I think that a wording and iconography in 4 steps could be useful. -2 = something really bad happened, -1 = below expectations, 0 = happy customer, 1 = exceeded expectations. Forcing people to write a detail on any rating other than 0 would make most ratings 0. Angry people usually like to write comments anyways.
Another issue: If you want to argue "we all deserve a share of productivity increases", then who is "we"?

Does the local community deserve to benefit from the automated cog factory? Does the state? Do all Americans? All humans? Those with coercive power?

It bugs me sometimes that you can argue "let's all share the wealth" but do it in a self-interested way by making a choice about who deserves what.
Many workers will move on to other sectors and spend the money earned there to buy dramatically cheaper goods from the owners of the machines that replaced them.

Sounds great that it benefits end users. But what's the end goal? Like, I understand the point of cross selling so that you keep your users sticky doing more things on the platform, but Amazon/Microsoft won't be happy as 'Yet another Assistant', they want to have the monopoly and at some point, they will have to fight each other.
There's an interesting essay about democracy in America (well, there are hundreds if not thousands probably) but what's unique is that it's a criticism levelled against the idea of democratic pluralism, and from where it emerges - the 'tolerance' of the democracy, the idea that rather than the individual action expounded by the classical liberals (for all their faults) there is now a system in which representative voices are heard - whether those are religious or ethno-groups or worker groups or business groups. The key part, though, is that the group is recognised as legitimate by the others and only then will it be tolerated.

The idea of this tolerance is a kind of peaceful existence, which, the author argues, is inadequate for democracy but makes us feel good.

The essay is "Beyond Tolerance" by Robert Wolff, and it's part of a three essay book called Critique of Pure Tolerance, which as the name may not suggest to the reader is written from a strongly left-wing point of view (it even contains an essay by Frankfurt School critical theorist Herbert Marcuse!). You can read the PDF of it here, I hope others are as enlightened by it as I was: https://monoskop.org/images/5/55/Wolff_Moore_Marcuse_A_Criti...

There's still plenty of opportunities in the space. You're not likely to ever be able to buy a full bitcoin for $4.00 ever again, but there's other coins that might also find success. Ethereum has gone up 35x since the announcement that it was being added to Coinbase right here on hacker news back in February 2017. Litecoin has gone up 3x since the announcement that it was added to Coinbase here on Hacker News since then. Neo has gone up 4x since the beginning of August, Monero has gone up almost 3x since two weeks ago. But not every alt-coin will be successful, and figuring out which ones will go up, and when, and how long they'll keep going up, is the tough bit.

And while it's hard to do, you could try riding the waves of bitcoin, sell when it reaches an all-time-high, and buy during the inevitable correction, slowly increasing how many coins you have without spending any extra money along the way. Bitcoin is volatile enough that it's difficult to time, though, and personally I just buy a little bit every week and hold.

But that's the same in a gold rush, not every person who went to California to pan for gold found anything worth a damn. It's risky as hell, but if you can afford a little risk, and are willing to immerse yourself in the world a bit so you can increase your chance that the risk you take will be a profitable one, you could still make a lot of money here.

And if you can build a service to wrap around cryptocurrency that doesn't already exist or has a bad solution, you could potentially make good money there too. (Sell the shovels, as it were). Coinbase makes a percent every time someone buys or sells coins on their service, no matter what the price is, they don't care, as long as people keep coming to them.

There's also alt-coins that are low enough on everyone's radar that you can mine them, and hope that at some point they catch on, or get targeted for a pump and dump (which I've seen happen for many coins). Just mine coins in it and keep an eye on it and wait until it shoots up in price and sell before it has a chance to drop again. I don't really recommend this, but it's an option.

And finally, ICOs are hot right now. Do your research, come up with an idea that could be funded with an ICO, and take a shot at building a company funded with your own ICO. Stupid risky, but yet another opportunity that clearly some people are taking advantage of and quickly getting a jumpstart on their companies with them.

Just because one opportunity is no longer feasible doesn't mean that all opportunities have disappeared. In fact, there's a lot more different approaches to finding success with cryptocurrencies than there was 6+ years ago, where you pretty much could only mine a bunch of coins and struggle to find anybody who would give you money for them.

The protectors of the ideology control our universities, training good little corporate bots.

They're getting pats on the back from early on to tow the line regarding economics, neoliberal policies, fancy jobs, nice things, for doing so.

Success isn't measured by merit, but by how successful you are evangelizing the gospel of America's form of mercantilism.

A whole lot of today's most successful haven't built anything humanity will rely on in a generation. Facebook in 2100? Please.

They know how to peddle brand! Facebook allows you to do something you've never done before! WOW!

No one questions whether that thing is really valuable in any meaningful way. So far, the spying/tracking, propagation of propaganda, effectively TV on the web brainless distraction, seems to suggest that overall, no, social media is more of America 1980 style. Not a huge shock, most of the folks at these corps learned in universities keen to push out good workers, who learned in 1980s economies.

Nostalgia forever. Tradition rules all in America, despite our facade of "progress". Everyone wants the world to look like it did in their head when they were kids.

Your comment is phrased as if antisocial traits don't already confer greater reproductive success.

>Convicted criminal offenders had more children than individuals never convicted of a criminal offense. Criminal offenders also had more reproductive partners, were less often married, more likely to get remarried if ever married, and had more often contracted a sexually transmitted disease than non-offenders. Importantly, the increased reproductive success of criminals was explained by a fertility increase from having children with several different partners.
Ah... Windows File History. Maybe I'm dense but I've never been able to figure out how that works. Even when I thought I enabled it I never could make it work. The history would just be empty every time. I'm sure I missed something, but I just never figured out what.

A follow up question is then , can I restore those files to a non-Windows machine?

With CrashPlan I could backup to a Linux server, and if I needed the files I could restore them either to a Windows or to a Linux machine. Can I do the same with File History? or do I have to restore to a Windows machine? or even worse, do I have to restore to the same instance of Windows that I used to backup?

You're assuming the majority of failures are human-error induced.

Academia is infamous for only rewarding positive results, even when the underlying is exploratory and planning couldn't have saved you. "X does not cause Y" is a legitimate outcome of asking "does X cause Y?", but it's (usually) not an acceptable result for a thesis. It's all too possible to end up needing all of those iterations even when you don't make mistakes.
So how about for Spotify? It's all digital media, but I pay more to be able to have the highest quality version streamed/pre-downloaded for songs and I can pretty much tell the difference. I've had anecdotal experiences were I noticed a distinct difference and checked to find out somehow my settings were changed.

Is it that Spotify changes the dynamic for lower and high quality encodings of the songs?
The example at the top of the article is actually an example of what makes me dislike the YouTube feed. I watch one video review of a game, and now I'm getting 20 videos suggested about the same game which I only had a passing interest in.

Sure, show me a few related videos, but often it can be a large percentage of the home page taken up by a section like this.

The same over-personalisation is an issue in a lot of Google platforms. On the Google news feed in Android, when I enabled personalisation it became dominated by unimportant articles about games, films, or TV shows I'd looked up recently, and hardly any general news. Not to mention the filter bubble of Google searches in general. I find this trend of over personalisation inconvenient, and not to mention a bit creepy.
