The Cathedral of Learning is such a beautiful building. I wonder though: did they leave any dirty patches as a small reminder? When they cleaned the ceiling of the great hall of Grand Central Terminal of the tobacco stains and train soot, a small patch was left dirty to show how filthy it was before the restoration [1]. As a kid, seeing that patch was a powerful argument to never smoke tobacco.

Interesting. Well, there are many jobs that deal with smaller data. Sometimes they even want the full fat full-stack setup with CDN etc, and it turns out there will only ever be like 300 records.
Good question! There is a vignette in the GitHub version that specifically addresses mixed models and lists exactly which variances and standard errors are incorporated in interval estimation. We show in the vignette that our intervals reach the nominal coverage level asymptotically.

While it's true that Dave Cutler incorporated many ideas from VMS into Windows NT... they are very different beasts with very different code bases. Not even related in the same way that, say, Unix and Linux are.

Ivan definitely mentioned capabilities at some point in the evening - "I'd love to build a capability architecture but I wouldn't be able to sell it" (which he's also mentioned in previous talks) but it may have been after the camera stopped rolling.
there's nothing preventing you from slowly moving out into the wilderness

Yes, there is - people don't exist in a solitary state; they only can survive in groups. It requires dozens of humans to band together for any chance of survival and reproduction. Even then it can't just be done in a vacant lot; it requires an ecosystem such as only exists today in national parks and reserves, where hunting and gathering is not allowed.

So just because a single person can't just walk into the bushes and survive, doesn't mean that the 21st Century urban lifestyle is superior to a hunter-gatherer society in every way. It's not an either-or: both have advantages.
That's true. Keras excels when you have some pre-baked DNN you need to implement quickly; if you plan to do some advanced things, you get back to backend anyway.
The O'Neil space station designs were premised on 1 RPM. Though a 3 RPM environment might be tolerable continuously, switching between rotating and non-rotating environments suggested a lower rate. See:

That sounds a lot like the federal sugar program - it was designed to restrict the imports of much cheaper sugar from other countries to help American sugar companies from going out of business. The artificially high domestic prices just end up moving candy companies out of the country - because it's hard for them to compete on price with candy companies that can buy cheaper sugar outside of the US.

Meanwhile, the federal gov buys about $300 million in excess sugar every time prices drop below a certain level due to other regulations. It's a strange system.

They are taxed. They’re just not double taxed.

The corporation pays corporate taxes on the money used for the buyback. The investors taxed are avoided because they haven’t realized their gains. When they eventually sell their shares they pay taxes.
The point is that they may be ncessary, but they're not sufficient.
This is good advice.

A lot of those scientific programmers have at least a MS in amath or an engineering discipline. PhDs are extremely common for the people writing adaptive meshers for fluids. Plus they are pretty good programmers.

Experience building websites and an undergrad CS degree does not get you that job. In fact, an undergrad CS is (imo) a waste of time. From CS, all you need is programming skills / data structures. You need a graduate level understanding of PDEs and linear algebra to do most fluid work.
Right, I used webforms back in 2002-2005 as well. Not the best experience.

> Instead of a good unionized manufacturing job with a pension paying $25/hr, the average American now scrapes by makes minimum wage working odd hours at a Starbucks with no benefits.

That's blatantly false. The US has one of the highest median and median disposable income levels. The median US household income, at near $60,000 is also among the highest on the planet.

Median weekly earnings for a full-time job in the US, is about $860. Or over $40,000 per year. The number of major economies you can list that are at or near that level is very short: Australia, Switzerland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium.

1% of US labor earns the minimum wage.

Sure. I'm an idiot. I didn't read anything beyond - "hard sci-fi" That said, there was an AI that popped up in some very minor parts of Startide Rising as I recall. But no, mostly I'm just stupid.
It's natural to claim that's not generalizing since it's in such a specific domain as well as the fact that it had access to its score.

Yeah. I would like to see the same approach applied to NES games[0] with the capability of beating a game like Zelda or Ultima IV with no domain-specific knowledge. It's not going to happen. These games assume the player knows about human culture, values, virtues such as courage and triumph over the forces of evil. Symbols such as the sword and shield, the heart; they have deep meaning even to a person who has never played a video game before.

To build an AI that can play a game like that, without any specific knowledge of the game itself, would be to build something that likely reduces to general intelligence, though I hesitate to claim it forcefully.

Yes, I was using mainline kernels with realtime patches. Unfortunately I was busy trying to bootstrap a company so I didn't have time to find out what changed in the USB subsystem. Now I'm a backend web engineer and have little time for hardware and kernel dev.
> Those Pensions and Wages were not sustainable.

Bullshit. Utter bullshit. Productivity has continued to rise since the 1970s and yet wages are pretty much flat. That is: People are producing more value for their employers than ever before, but aren't being paid accordingly.

These wages are only "not sustainable" if you think corporations are entitled to cut costs, squeeze employees, and slash benefits all in the name of squeaking out ever increasing returns for shareholders or to pad out their own exorbinant executive salaries.

If anything's not sustainable it's current executive pay levels.
Wikimedia had expanded in that time, adding projects like wikibooks, and similar properties. It's also become a target for parties that want to manipulate it, but has been surprisingly resilient to that.

I'm not sure if that all requires this level of growth, but its use and importance have grown exponentially. I can't think of many places that deserve those funds more, really.
> My example: adaptive resolution grids for fluid simulations.

You aren't going to get any real exposure to this through a CS degree. The action here is happening in Applied Math, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and similar departments. Some schools (like Caltech) have more specifically tailored Computational Science/Engineering, but that is pretty rare.

If you can live with the data cap, that's great. Otherwise, 50gb is pretty low for work (remote conferences, download some system images, upgrade your mac and you're done).

Another issue in small towns is that the moment a new tower needs to go up, there may be a low of community pushback (radiation! kids!). It's much better if the current one gets an upgrade.
For me, the speed of find and grep is sufficiently never a concern, so I do not find these speedy alternatives sufficient to compensate for its non-universality. And when the speed of grep and find do become a concern, I would think the issues are somewhere else -- like have 10s thousands of jpg files scatter everywhere that you need to find in the first place. When issues are somewhere else, replacing it with better tool only hides and makes the problem worse.
That's true, but it still doesn't offset the other benefits of not spending hundreds of hours each year crammed into economy if you're a regular flyer. Not to mention the discounts and other little benefits you start to get when you rack up more mileage.

It's in the same basket as every other 'quality of life' improvement a business could make like nice desks, social events, fancy coffee machines, free food etc. If it fits into their budget, and offers a benefit to their employees that makes them more productive and more inclined to stay - then I'd say it's money well spent.
Yeah, that's the standard way to write comments. It looks terrible but it's not bad to write because Visual Studio auto-generates the comment skeleton for you.
That's a good argument. If it used hand coded html and CSS, and had a huge community of fully customizable components where you had higher order components to enable the customization, what would the challenge be for the last 10%?
Innovative CPU architectures and popular fantasy novel series both..
Going into HPC for the aerospace industry is more of a dream job, end game goal than something I'd get into quickly. But generally speaking I'm tired of doing small-scale work and want to become trained and knowledgeable in programming for large-scale systems where performance optimization is crucial. Whatever that entails. I've read short experiences of BS students getting internships at NVidia and that stuff inspires me.

Starting from a entry level salary rank is also actually a non-issue for me. My jobs pay little (I guess it correlates with low-quality experience). An entry-level job at a reputable tech company will probably pay more than most companies have paid me in my entire career. I'm talking $20-$25/hr 1099 contract jobs here. In between I have no work, so it ends up like living paycheck to paycheck.

The main thing that has driven me towards considering the education option is that students get viewed in a different frame of mind by companies. Companies evaluate students and new grads by their potential.

People whose skills have gotten stale or incompatible need training, but training is almost exclusively given to new grads. So that's another plus for returning to school. Right now I have temporary "project burnout" to push on to doing a new project, and think a change of personal experience would be beneficial to me.
If the company made the money from selling beer, it was triple taxed due to the alcohol tax! Wait, if the customer paid for the beer with earned income, the beer was quadruple taxed. But if he paid for the beer with dividend income, it was quintuple taxed!

In the stepped-up basis case I mentioned, the investor may never pay taxes on the gains.
I think that would have sunk the novel.

Right, abstractions are useful. I'm just curious why we keep recreating the same abstractions over and over again.
As one of the dozens and dozens of people that not only do CRUD for life but kind of like it:

Is almost 94% automated.

The name of the tools: Relational Database System.

You need to "just" describe the data, relations, queries and perform the input of the rows. It automagically give the results you want, and kind of fast most of time!

---

The "Why?" CAN"T BE fully automated (or close to 100%):

How many program you can fit in this description?:

Create
Read
Update
Delete

Like, all of them? (given or taken a few dozen???)

---

The "HOW" we could actually do CRUD more nicely?

You must put aside the OOP model. It could be there, but aside.

The functional neither is. Nor lisp, haskell, or anyyhing similar.

You need a truly relational language (remember how a RDBMS is the answer to your question?).

Probably need to plug a actually nice Tree-manipulator language (exist a relational model, but for trees???). OO is almost there, but not close enough.

You can mix OO and anything else.

This is not a pipe dream or untested. The dbase family operate like this. I code for work in FoxPro and was FAR better than Python, Delphi, .NET(F#) (all I like, but HELL NOT, THEM ARE NOT GOOD DATA LANGUAGES)

The other side of the equation is the form/report builder.

Let me tell you: You ACTUALLY NOT WANT A (auto) FORM BUILDER.

You need a FORM BUILDER DESCRIPTOR and the flexibility of build your UI manually based on this.

THis is not speculation or untested. This was (almost) how FoxPro operate... the descriptor was tables. The tables were used to build the UI. Literally the UI was serialized on tables. Like how cool kids this days use JSON. But potentially better if you discover this (ie: Open the form file and see is just a table!) and then use this for the full effect.

Obviously, FoxPro and other tools were rough like you can expect for "ancient" tech. But similar how Lisp, SmallTalk, APL, Rebol, Pascal, Modula, ML were "rough" and we are rediscovering the potential them have, this is the same with the dBase family.
Allow me to play The Devil's Advocate: Those aggrieved by the lack of a Linux driver ABI have indeed forked the kernel, and some of them even maintain their forks. They just happen to be focussed solely on their own needs and thus their forks happen to be specific to their business requirements alone. Take Qualcomm's CodeAurora hosted repos for one: maintained for years, with backporting and new releases based on new upstream releases, all merged with Qualcomm's drivers for their own hardware.

The reason no one has left Linus['s repo] in the dust is because no one has taken the effort to put out and maintain a general purpose API-standardised fork instead of heavily-customised, specific-to-their-own-business codebases.
If you're ever in Japan or Taiwan, have some glasses made there. JINS in Japan is ~$120 including lenses, lenses ready in 3 hours. Pick up same day. I heard there's a company in Taiwan with a similar business model as well.

They're set up to handle tourists, and will handle duty free as well.
Apple fully understands what it takes to make their new iPhone. They're going out of their way to source conflict-free materials, to ensure that it's only made with recyclable components, and to eliminate as many unnecessary toxic components from the manufacturing process, like lead and mercury. Apple doesn't mind absorbing these extra costs especially because there's enough margin in their products they can afford to.

If you want to blame someone, don't blame Apple. Blame the lawnmower company that used to manufacture their products domestically but decided to out-source it to China for no reason other than slashing costs. They're the ones that keep putting the squeeze on their suppliers to trim costs, to use plastic parts instead of metal, to skimp on anything and everything they think they can get away with.

Where Apple is doing checks on their suppliers to make sure they're not employing child labour, that they're not endangering their employees with overly long work weeks, other companies are out there demanding they work harder, longer, and cheaper.

When China is no longer the cheapest shop in town they'll pack their bags and move on to the next place, and the next place, in their suicidal race to the bottom.

What's ironic here is that China is actually one of the biggest green energy proponents. They used coal to get their industrial base going, but solar and wind will be the big drivers behind the next push. While the US might have better environmental regulations, lately it's developed a severe allergy to "new things". Meanwhile China keeps deploying bigger and bigger solar installations: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/china-launches-lar...
I don’t know that, but his impact is on the psychology of the victims: the idea that they will survive for a long time.

> As for my goals, it is to work in high-performance computing, in particular with aerospace. My example: adaptive resolution grids for fluid simulations.

If this is what you really want, then just do it!

Research whatever you need to implement a fluid simulation program, stick it up on github and put it on your resume.

Doing so accomplishes several major things

1) it makes it extraordinarily clear to employers that you can actually do the work that you want to do

2) it makes it clear that you can teach yourself to learn whatever else you might need to know to do the job

3) it demonstrates the kind of self-motivation that "reputable tech companies" look for

Alternatively, find a Coursera course on something you're interested in and just do it. You won't get much more out of college than you can from free online courses.
A fair amount, though not all, of that pollution does settle out or become oxidized over the intervening 8,000 miles or so. Though yes, measurable quantities do cross the Pacific.

Because the US had around 55% of all global manufacturing circa 1970 (with 130 million fewer people), due to its temporary quasi economic monopoly status after WW2 as the last highly developed industrial economy left standing.

That's why real US wages, stand-alone, have barely climbed in 40 years. Consider for a moment just how extremely high those wages were in ~1970, that it took decades for other high development nations to catch up.

That and the fact that healthcare costs over that time have soared in the US, so a big part of US compensation increases since 1970, have gone to employee health insurance costs (commonly anywhere from 10% to 30% of a person's compensation if you're near or above the median).

Same here. Zenni frames are cheap, and the lenses are pretty good. But the frames are built from cheap plastic, and so are the linkages, they just plate them with metallic coating. I've had the linkages break on 10+ pairs from fairly innocent things like falling asleep with them on.

They work fine, but it's like buying anything else designed to be disposable. Make sure you have a few pairs on hand for backup

IN NEED OF a ETHICAL HACKER?
I never knew hackers could improve a low credit score until i met one on a discussion forum when i googled how to improve my credit score, i read a lady’s comment on how capable the hacker is of solving any problems that has to do with hacking. So i sent him a mail and asked if he had the ability to raise credit scores(all 3 companies) and also eliminate eviction off court records. Then he replied yes and asked me to provide him some info of mine he’ll need to run the hack. when i did just that, he completed the hack within 72 hours at a price that’s worth it. I give thanks to the ethical hacker for coming to my aid when i needed him the most. Reach the hacker at spystealth 'dot' org 'at' gmail 'dot' com and you’ll be amazed by his skills.A friend of mine shared a testimony of him working with a ethical hacker he met online and how professional he is, so i told him to introduced the hacker to me. Then i gave him a job to hack my cheating wife's iphone because i noticed she makes secret calls and whenever i show up she ends the conversation. But unfortunately, after the hack was completed i discovered that the 8 months old baby i thought was mine was actually for another man she was still having an affair with. I'm sad but glad i discovered this at a very early stage before it gets too late. This ethical hacker is the best at what he does. I also gave a friend his contact and he is currently helping him increase his credit score and remove eviction off his record. Don't fall for scammers, i know how it feels to actually loose your hard earned money to them, i've been a victim ones and i wont want that to happen to someone else. So contact this professional hacker at spystealth(dot)org(at)gmail(dot)com for issues concerning hacking. You won't be disappointed.

Several weeks ago, you were part of an expedition to the 7th continent, a mysterious and newly discovered land off the coast of Antarctica.

This confused me until I remembered that some countries count either North+South America, or else Europe and Asia, as a single continent, for a total of six. Not a great choice of name for the English-language release.
Great point about the treadmill.

I guess my point is that I just can’t imagine that all the brilliant people involved with the ISS _didn’t_ think of a rotating structure.. but even just getting a sizable non-rotating structure cost 150B.

I wonder what kind of health issues we’d see even with a rotating structure tho. Would living on such a structure really help prevent most of these issues?
