My prediction is basically once Excel can handle larger data sizes and do basic ML algorithms (like boosting / random forest / etc), and data manipulation becomes more the work of a BA (say, via Alteryx), and they start teaching what basic algorithms do (like Random Forest, Boosting, etc.) in a business analytics course (which right now is basic hypothesis testing / linear modeling) then we will see the death of a lot of data science roles and people will transition into more specialized technical roles. I could see this moving into that direction in say 2-5 years.
We absolutely should write the customization in code.
The first part is important to signal that you aren't just trying to find people to work with, but that you also want to join up in a culture war, and a culture war requires promoting ideas to hate instead of letting them fade away.

> The moment you finally meet someone interested in discussing one of these things, its going to be immediately apparent the basis of your knowledge is a brief article/book or a weekend watching videos on youtube.

Depends on what you're hoping to get out of the the learning and the conversation. For most people, even being able to carry on a conversation at a dinner party with an expert in the field is sufficient reason to read one of these books.

"Oh your dissertation work is on Ancient Egypt?! That's so fascinating! I read about <pharoah-name> and he's buried at <pyramid-name>. Have you done any field work there?" And so on and so forth. If you can ask relevant questions (which an introductory book will create plenty of in your mind) you'll keep the expert engaged and they'll be gratified that you took a genuine interest in their work.

And if you're conversing with another layperson? "I read the most fascinating thing about mummies the other day! Mummies <say fascinating thing, see if other person is engaged, continue conversation>."

Realistically those are the only outcomes people can expect from reading introductory books. And I'd regard them as being very worthy outcomes.
There’s also an asymmetry in that rebutting even a trivially wrong argument takes much longer than it did for the other side to make in the first place.
Typically the gains would be shared through lower prices to customers and higher profits. Lower costs might also increase demand for services and goods, growing the industry and increasing employment elsewhere in companies, though that latter is likely to be a relatively small effect.
I thought this superficial kind of learning was more due to the necessity of being brief than the conviction that it's the best way to learn about a topic. We really don't have enough time in our lives to acquire an in-depth understanding of very many things.

You can trade learning more things superficially with learning fewer things in but in greater detail, but if you don't want to make a career out of your knowledge (where specialization is best) it seems like either way is fine if you just do it for fun. (Though I agree that specialization probably is more intellectually fulfilling that fact collecting.)
The WebRender folks are well aware that higher framerates are the future. Here's a tweet from Jack Moffitt today, a Servo engineer (and Servo's technical lead, I believe): https://twitter.com/metajack/status/917784559143522306

"People talk about 60fps like it's the end game, but VR needs 90fps, and Apple is at 120. Resolution also increasing. GPUs are the only way. Servo can't just speed up today's web for today's machines. We have to build scalable solutions that can solve tomorrow's problems."

Most of the rich became that way by engaging in unethical/immoral acts. Misrepresentation, fraud, financial elder abuse, serial bankruptcies, creating environmental disasters in third world countries without a blink of an eye. They just happen to not get caught or to not engage in activity that is outright illegal. Yes, there are innovators and inventors. They deserve our admiration. But most of the Wall Street and Real Estate billionaires are just people who are less reluctant to engage in certain behavior that is deemed by most as immoral.
You can become very rich by selling financial alchemy to old ladies with dementia. Society will deem you as "successful" and a "role model" if it's not exposed.

Yes, the state of things is currently worse (i.e. no known way to disable) as far as the AMD PSP is concerned as not much research has been done on it due to their lack of market share.

That’s great to know thank you. Having a great tooling/environment/ecosystem is probably more important than the language choice itself.

Actual "rockstars" (I know a few who may qualify) don't look for positions calling for rockstars, mostly because they're a little more mature and focussed at any age.

They are just a one person department/wrecking team who can take on a team of many, they are genuinely interested in problems that are the rockstars, not themselves.

I've found a certain percentage of folks wanting to be recognized or move into a position of rockstars are often more attracted to positions attracting rockstars, wizards and ninjas all trying to rock out, cast spells, and throw stars in the same room. There is no ladder into rockstarism, only a track record that is remarkable and speaks for itself.

Like a lot of fields, the quiet people in the room are often the smartest and most interesting. Finding a way to get them onto teams where they can make a huge difference is key.

Clutch, mentioned in the article as the company behind the subscription, is interesting in their own right. http://www.clutchatlanta.com/ It's a car subscription where you can trade your car out for another type. Insurance is included, so it's a flexible alternative to buying.

A bit pricy, though. So really only an alternative to buying new.
Can I get a serious alternative view on this? What purpose does Intel have for things like this exactly? Also, are AMD chips an alternative that can help here?
None of the RPi boards have been released as open source hardware, neither schematics nor layouts. One cannot even buy the chips from Broadcom. This is a practical problem if trying to base a phone of it.

Would you also take one news source over many if it lessens the chance of seeing "fake news"?
Luckily, part of the value of the activity is being able to question this premise. E.g. where "well what they're saying is not in the box we've been thinking in!" is not treated prima facie as a reason why it can't win. (At least not, as here, without any reasoning articulated.)
Back in the day there were SVGA libraries (like aklib) that allowed high-resolution (like 1280x1024 modes) graphics; but even on contemporary GHz desktop processors it wasn't fast. Also sound systems using background daemons that relayed stuff to DirectSound (or FMOD, not entirely sure after all these years).

This seems to be written in QB64 using SDL with OpenGL surfaces.
It seems strange to me that the European Union is allowing this. The fact that a foreign company has a backdoor in every computer running in European countries is so concerning on so many levels. Defense ministers from European countries should wake up and outlaw this.

Of course, there is no specificity to the EU here -- this applies to Russia, China and other countries too.

Edit: maybe Intel is already eligible to a € multiple Billions fine from the EU based on this? (Disclaimer: I have no clue about how such fine works).
> I have not spent much time studying basic income, but I'm sure the topic of inflation must be addressed. What's the current thinking on basic income having an effect on inflation?

Basic income will certainly (in its initial implementation and with any increases) have some effect on price levels of goods, increasing the prices of goods demanded more by net beneficiaries and reducing those demanded disproportionately by those who are net payers in whatever the funding mechanism is.

But those should be such that the net beneficiaries still have increased buying power and the net payers have decreased buying power.

I know, I didn't say that they found an NSA backdoor smoking gun, but it still seems suspicious to me that the NSA got to dictate anything about what should happen in ME. I remain a conspiracy theorist. I really don't see a market demand for all hardware since 2007 to have this built-in by both duopolists.
The Mystery Hiding in the Cracks of a 17th-Century Painting Has Been Revealed
WebRender is retained mode, not immediate mode. It will only repaint when repaint is needed, but if any repaint is needed, we will paint every pixel. There are CPU and GPU side caches for intermediate results like glyph atlases, so that doesn't necessarily mean we redo all the work every frame.

Just to give more perspective, invalidation is not free, and there are cases where invalidation itself takes longer than your frame budget. Also, in the case where you have to repaint everything or almost everything anyway, invalidation just made your problem worse since you spent cycles figuring out you can't skip any work.
There are dededicated Well-Known-Regions for code, stack, globals and TLS that catch the great majority of memory references. The PLB is only consulted when we miss in the WKRs. What's not in the WKRs? MAP_SHARED mmap()s. How many of those are in your program? How often do you access one for the first time or after long enough that the entry has been evicted from the PLB?

Like any cache, the optimal PLB size is determined by the working set. In the typical code we are seeing, the program has a couple of open files, half a dozen mmaps where the heap grew itself, and portal blocks for assorted libraries. The working sets are much smaller than a conventional TLB, and with SAS we have several cycles available in parallel with the caches.

The upshot is that a PLB can be large, cool, and slow. As for the range compares, the PLB permits the same sore of address sub-setting as is done in mixed size TLBs. Think about how many bits in the typical address range differ between lower and upper bounds.

> I really hope I get to live long enough to see society have to tackle the "oh fuck, currency as a concept is useless" problem, aka the steps leading up to post-scarcity.

I would only want to see that if we were already post-scarcity. Otherwise, there's going to be a lot of bloodshed as people figure it out and realize they don't have any way to continue buying the things they require to live.

Post-scarcity is great, but I fear the road that leads to it.
I am not objecting to the "cheating" claim. I disregarded it immediately and only considered this as an exercise experiment. My point is that single studies without control groups are not going to tell you much. Are their conclusions reasonable? Of course. Did we learn much from the study above what we already knew about moderate exercise? Not really.
My personal password strategy requires that I do, in fact, have to recall from memory a small number of secure passwords (device access passwords, ssh key passwords, password manager password and one web service password (iCloud)).

My memorized password count is less than 10 and they're all long and secure (and completely different from one another). It's unfortunate that iCloud is on that list, but it's the only one that shouldn't really belong there, so I'm okay with it.

This. This so much.

Hospitality as a whole preys on, young people needing money and older people, needing status.

(While I say our/we, I have left the industry after 17 years).

We hire the cheapest students to scrub dishes and carry food, for the lowest possible we can. If they argue, then we replace them with the ever available student market.

We will hire the lowest bidding chef's , from any region, as long as they can cook the dishes, and if they argue or want a raise, we will replace them with the ever available students/new visa holders.

I was lucky, I met people and got out of the direct cooking business. Despitr getting out of the business, I had my first stomach ulcers at 24, a friend of mine had a heart attack at 25, and too many friends to note have been driven to drug use.

I'm resisting the urge to be bitter here btw :-p

Oh for the record, I worked (at a high rank), for some of the top restaurants in Australia. Also it's not just aus, I see the same thing in Japan.

Abuse in hospitality, not sure I can actually say anything about this except : yes, constant.

I have seen it from the female chef's, walking behind people with a wooden spoon and trying to jam it in their arse, to kitchen hands having hot pans thrown at them for being too slow. It's not a one off, and it's not infrequent.

I just hope a few of you guys think about this, next time you order a meal.
You might think so. But in practice, the opposite is true. Teams that present lots of wrong arguments tend to make a lot of arguments that are wrong in the same way. So you can respond to 2+ minutes of bad arguments in 20 seconds by identifying these common threads.

As lukasschwab points out in his top-level comment, the narrative that fast presentation results in "quantity over quality" is nearly always not true -- "arguments are still evaluated at speed", and it's more typically "more arguments of greater quality" rather than "more arguments of lesser quality (although the "greater quality" part is, as lukasschwab notes, "a rough correlate to ability inasmuch as it's an early product of commitment".)
There's an initiative to move to autopilot for trains, or Positive Train Control. The US Gov't started the initiative in 2008 after a particularly gnarly train accident which killed 25 people. It was due to be rolled out in 2015 and we're still waiting...

For long-haul rail freight the economics don't matter as much as they do for trucks. 1-2 people can control a 7 mile train as opposed to trucks which have 1 driver per 50' trailer.

>should we continue to subsidize childbirth as the economic value of a citizen tails off? Why spend money educating people who will never enter the labor force? What happens to immigration when immigrants statistically no longer provide economic value?

That was one of the purposes of early universal healthcare in Europe and Canada at the end of WWII. To subsidise it even more. After the war, Europe needed babies.

My farmer grandparents had one child during WWII, in 1944, then another in 1947. After this point, maternal and infant healthcare became subsidised, and my grandparents went on to have ten more children. Their prosperity over the next thirty years was eased by this, and the extension to all citizens helped even more.

This enhanced the boom generation effect in my country, and small towns really started growing.

My family did much much better than equivalent farmers in the USA(we have cousins there), and everyone ended up as productive members of society. Instead of paying for healthcare insurance, they sent their kids to university.

People eating, getting educated, driving on the roads, taking vacation, all grow an economy. Non-working citizens, ie children and students, have economic value. Always have, always will.

Increasing native birthrates will drop the need for immigration, and the attendant terrors thereof, which will please a lot of people.

The early Australians were written off as useless, non contributing members of British society, and were consigned to transportation to the Antipodes. But instead of being lazy ne'er do well types, they rose above their reputations to craft a shining egalitarian society.

Good and productive people will come from big, poor families.
I'd like to make a few clarifications if you don't mind!

You can define your own file types with ripgrep on the command line (albeit not in a config file, so you end up needing a wrapper script or an alias).

ripgrep has pre-compiled binaries that work out of the box on Windows, Mac and Linux.

On the other hand, if you were going to write your job posting the pre-edit way and the said applicant was turned off by it... will they even be a good fit in your org? Do you want to continue editing all of your communications?

I’m kind of being devils advocate here but I do find it a drag to work with people who can’t read between the lines sometimes and get the gist of what someone means rather than feeling excluded by they’re word choices.
This is an analogy that I've run across in my own thinking, too. I feel like it's an example of Fundamental Attribution Bias or something.

Instead of thinking of people as static personalities with properties like smart vs. dumb or agressive vs. passive, I try to think of people as minds reacting to some local environment. It's just personal anecdote, but I'm told that my ability to read people is really on point, and I attribute that to avoiding "personality profiles" in my thinking as much as possible.

> I think 10-20 is hyperbole but the inverse relationship between GDP and birth rates is well documented

The observed inverse relationship is between birth rate and strength of social support systems; this roughly tracks GDP, but it also explains the outliers, like the US which (among developed countries) has both a high birthrate and a weak social support system.

UBI strengthens the social support system (it also removes bureaucratic drag on the economy and replaces systems which disincentivize certain economic exchanges, which should also increase GDP.)

To address your second point, you seem to be saying that missing the frame budget once and then compositing the rest of the time would be better than missing the frame budget every time.

That is certainly true, but a) the cases where you can do everything as a compositor optimization are very few (transform and opacity mostly) so aside from a few fast paths you'd miss your frame budget all the time there too, and b) we have a lot of examples of web pages that are slow on CPU renderers and very fast on WebRender and very few examples of the opposite aside from constructed edge case benchmarks. Those we have found had solutions and I suspect the other cases will too.

As resolution and framerate scale, CPUs cannot keep up. GPUs are the only practical path forward.
I expect many regular delivery end points will get set up with autonomous vehicle standardised parking bays, with programmed routes in and out added to the AI mapping databases. If you don’t have one of those, you’ll need to pay a premium for driver operated delivery or remote driver guidance.

People can act suspiciously, sure. But that doesn't mean that behavior is actually correlated with committing a crime.

People are suspicious of a lot of things they shouldn't be. As other people mentioned in this thread, just being black and walking through a white neighborhood will get you plastered all over NextDoor.

Are you going to pretend like most people have an accurate, objective way to determine which behaviors are worthy of suspicion?
