No, the greatest level of knowing is having an explanation for why a gyro behaves the way it does.

> For me, even the fact that my smartphone is performing billions of calculations every second is non-intuitive. Doesn't mean I don't know how it works.

But imagine if your smartphone was of alien manufacture, and you lived in a world of exclusively analog technologies. Scientists and engineers could come to accurately predict your smartphone's behavior, and certainly a mathematical formalism could be given for it, but they wouldn't understand the physical basis for the billions of calculations it performed.

It would be a big mystery until physics advanced enough to understand how the circuitry worked.
It seems most of the pattern was made up by the researchers: https://stringgeek.blogspot.dk/2017/10/viking-age-tablet-wea...
>>Nothing inherently more efficient about private companies over public ones.

>>You can send mail across the country via USPS

USPS has to service everywhere. This is usually the case with all publicly funded "companies." This is inherently inefficient. It is more fair, but that's not the argument. Private companies are absolutely inherently more efficient.

It's a different service. USPS has a monopoly on letter mail. FedEx is allowed to ship documents but only as an express delivery (the USPS service that is as fast as FedEx at document delivery costs roughly the same).
This article is way too long.
Exactly, and this is why Agile (while grand for things like "The customer wants a web site. They don't know what they want or how they want it to look, but we need to start on Tuesday.") isn't the be-all and end-all that it's advertised to be by people who only work on websites for tech-illiterate customers.

In a lot of software development, especially large scale enterprise software (where you're trying to map a complex set of existing business practices and workflows into software) and embedded software (where you have to write something that provides fixed, well-understood functionality running on hardware with a months- or years-long iteration time) you do have a complete and correct spec (or at least the means to generate one). In these cases a less ad-hoc approach than Agile can be beneficial.
This is exciting because it addresses one of the main complaints in the recent blog post http://blog.mecheye.net/2017/09/i-dont-know-who-the-web-audi..., which is that there's no way in WebAudio to just fill a buffer with numbers (samples) and have it play them back in real time (or to do the same, but processing an input buffer).

AudioWorklet (https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/#AudioWorklet) allows you to create "processor" nodes, which have a "process" method which is called once per buffer, with any audio input to the node passed in as a parameter, and an output buffer to fill.

This should allow much more interesting and professional level audio generation and effects using WebAudio, and much easier porting of existing audio algorithms (as this is how most audio code, e.g. VST/AudioUnit plugins work), though I've not looked at the spec in detail yet or played with it, so the devil as always is in the details!.
That's an interesting idea.

Check out the second answer from 'Vesselin Petkov' which talks about a geometric case for the difference between the two. His answer overall seemed to me more interesting than the most upvoted one there.

Actually, that's the FTC.

The SEC regulates securities trading.

With appropriate statutory authority, that sounds like it would also be a good fit for the FTC. Even if new law is needed, why a new regulatory body?

The problem with an opt-in system is that you have to sandbox the whole app (otherwise, evading the opt-in would be trivial) and therefore lock out any advanced access not explicitly listed as an opt-in permission.

If you want an example, there's F.lux, which doesn't work (without rooting) on Android and iOS.
Agreed. The prize money is 250k SEK ($30k). That should buy a pretty sleek vacation. Even if the prize money is taxed (I'm unsure of that. My thinking is it counts sort of as a scholarship or grant, tax-wise, and should thus be exempt of taxation in this case.).
Thanks!

Oh dear, this guy has no limit to his self-aggrandizement, and the interviewer surely does very little to fact-check his outrageous statements. The facts are more like: auto-tune is the combination of pitch detection and pitch shifting, two problems that were extensively researched already. Even the details, like using autocorrelation via FFT, was standard in the field at the time. This type of pitch correction had already been done in academia, but passed off as a curiosity. The truth is, the guy was at the right place at the right time, nothing more than that. Computers were just becoming fast and cheap enough, and plugin formats making this type of product practical were just being deployed.
While you're factually correct about the musical stuff, note that the auditory system is not at all the same as the visual system, the latter being slower in processing information (i.e. full time for light entering retina to information being ready to do something with in the brain). Also resulting in reaction times for auditory stimuli being faster than for visual stimuli. So you can't just use one system to debunk a fairly general statement made about something visual related. Even though it's still false, but for other reasons.
Agreed.

Sure, there could be common guidelines. I'm also talking civil, bad speech could maybe get you fined, or banned from certain public speaking facilities, if proven by court of law that you acted inappropriately. I mean we have these already, and we manage just fine. Defamation and public indecency for example.

And it doesn't need go very far. Inciting violence, threats to ones well being or insults towards a group, spoken to a crowd, say 10+ people, either verbally, or written, or gestured. That would include any medium which assumed an audience of more then 10 people. Yes, I'd include online forums, tweets, etc in that.

Like, I can't think of any socially relevent commentary that needs you say things of that sort, unless its because you're basically rebuting against someone else doing the same. And again, don't need to jail people, a fine would be a good start.

You can even express very inappropriate ideas without resorting to these. For example: "If X were truly less intelligent, it could be that this alone would explain why they are poorer overall, and so, no amount of extra care would help, because their intelligence is an innate limitation." No insults, no threats, no violence. Yet still incredibly controversial. Now the people you'd say this to might be tempted to insult you back, but if they did, they'd be fined, so instead they'd also have to be civil. For example: "That's true, but there's no proof that X are innately less intelligent, and there's known examples of Xs which have demonstrated higher then average intelligence, so its a moot argument, and one that seems to imply a certain innate bias against X from Y. If it were true, and this shows it, that Y had an innate racism against X, then its possible Y wants to keep X poor."

Please prove me otherwise, but I don't see what's so hard about enforcing some civility in speech when expressed to a sizable audience.

Good write up. I've had half a dozen Pi's since their first release, some overclocked and some not. I've had 2 die on me from power surges during electrical storms but all the others are still going strong.

I've actually had more PC equipment fail on me (hardly surprising given their increased complexity) than Raspberry Pis, so they can be quite resilient little things.
In a decent amount of cases this will kill the offending process taking up too much memory, and then your service manager (systemd etc) will restart it. If problem was due to a memory leak etc this typically recovers the situation for a while.
Of course the OOM killer might kill the wrong process, which can be annoying. This can be tweaked on a per process basis using /proc/$process/oom_score_adj
or using OOMScoreAdjust in the systemd service file

As a single example to start, I would recommend looking into the staffing problems at the the state department. A lot of people don't think about the state department, but they are the first line of diplomacy on the world stage. There are hundreds of positions left unfilled, a severe lack of focus, the requirement of keeping up with major foreign policy pronouncements through twitter by the POTUS and a disengaged secretary of state with very little experience. World diplomacy is the kind of thing that does not blow up overnight, but has a ripple effect for years and possibly even decades to come, as we've seen with our middle east policies.

Five typescript tips
Or rather `traverse_`. (I still don't know why `traverse` is not renamed `mapA`.)
Munger's an adherent of a particular value system common among businessmen from the mid-19th -> late-20th century. In this value system, 1) the primary purpose of economic activity is efficiency, producing more with less 2) the purpose of employees is to serve as instruments for their employers to accomplish their business goals and 3) anything that gets in the way of this is by definition evil, and it is not immoral to work around such restrictions for the purposes of increasing efficiency.

Both Patterson and Travis Kalanick are exceptionally virtuous men by this value system. They were ruthless drivers of efficiency, willing to ignore any obstacles in the pursuit of making their businesses bigger and more profitable. Other adherents to this value system include Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, Bill Gates, John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Steve Jobs, and Paul Graham.

By contrast, the dominant value system in America today is marked by different tenets: 1) the primary purpose of life - of which economic activity is only one facet - is self-fulfillment and emotional gratification 2) it is virtuous to pursue such goals for yourself as long as you don't interfere with other peoples' pursuit of such goals 3) rules and regulations exist to enforce #2 on behalf of the powerless, and those who break those rules are by definition evil and 4) the employee/employer relationship should be a partnership where the employer should provide purpose and direction in accord with the employee's value system, and in return the employee helps the employer accomplish their business goals. Interestingly, both the Left and the Right of an increasingly divided America subscribe to this value system, they just define "self fulfillment and emotional gratification" differently.

The two value systems aren't entirely at odds with each other, but they aim toward entirely different purposes, and so naturally they conflict at several points. When this happens, things that may be considered the height of virtue under one value system are morally abhorrent to another one.

>>We can accurately and precisely predict the behavior of a gyro, derive the mathematical equations necessary and the model we use is general for all moving objects. This is the greatest level of knowing you can have.

This is the most superficial level of knowledge you can have. If you truly think about it, you know nothing about it.

The greatest level of knowing would be able to derive everything you just said from first principles about the gyro without knowing any of what you just mentioned. That is something that cannot be done. We do not know the root cause. Without that, we know nearly nothing.

> I've personally seen someone perform one of the insane speed/note-density DDR songs blindfolded

Rock Band 4 has a "Brutal" mode where notes are almost completely hidden save for a slice of a millisecond at the top, but although it does give a hint of an information that may be processed in the end it mostly doesn't matter, since at that point you can effectively do it blindfolded, which is as a process no different to learning to play the actual song.

IMO, the worst thing that could happen is FB creating much richer profiles about its users. There are many companies, employers or governmental institutions who might want to know how your friends think about you. For instance, FB might learn that when it comes to "who has the most integrity" you score the lowest within your circle of friends.

On a slight tangent, I do wonder if the Raspberry Pi is the right dev board for running compute-intensive AI models. It is cheap but the real hero of the Pi is the Broadcom SoC. Where as there are other dev boards out there - lots of them in fact - which would have a faster CPU, dedicated ethernet bus (even gigabit ethernet - which would be better for clustering too), etc.

I do love my Pis (I have a few of them) but if you're having to overclock the thing and then strap on a CPU fan to make the Pi even viable for running compute-intensive AI models then perhaps the exercise might have been better suited for running on another piece of hardware instead?

This happened just after the Great Storm of 1987 which hit the UK on the 15th-16th October. Wikipedia has the following slightly unbelievable snippet:

"Following the storm few dealers made it to their desks and stock market trading was suspended twice and the market closed early at 12.30pm. The disruption meant the City was unable to respond to the late dealings at the beginning of the Wall Street fall-out on Friday 16 October, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded its biggest-ever one-day slide at the time, a fall of 108.36. City traders and investors spent the weekend, 17–18 October, repairing damaged gardens in between trying to guess market reaction and assessing the damage. 19 October, Black Monday, was memorable as being the first business day of the London markets after the Great Storm.
My experience with Hoeffner, XXXL, Moebel Kraft et al tells me that either you go for a premium price point or you will inevitably buy crap. But then, I think Ikea has more experience in producing cheap crap so that you get a better deal with Ikea furniture instead of the cheap stuff from XXXL.
As a guitar player, a lot of playing is muscle memory, combined with an overarching understanding of what you are trying to convey. In fact, the challenge is often to break free from the muscle memory so as not to fall into the same patterns (like minor pentatonic scale) over and over.

Part of practice is learning how to use muscle memory to handle the fast stuff – faster than you can process at full speed – freeing up your mind to think about the broader strokes. It's interesting to think that activities such as playing music, drawing, painting or practising sports are really a combination or interaction of fast muscle memory, slower rational/strategic thinking, and guiding emotion/intuition.
