How do you know which checkpoints to trust, unless they are signed?

And if you have trusted checkpoints I fail to see the point of proof-of-stake (or proof-of-anything really). Just call every block a checkpoint and you're done.

Any remaining use cases probably centers around availability, but we know how to build highly available systems and can build them to any degree. Trustless and decentralized systems are much harder.

AlexNet[1] is the name of a convolutional neural network, originally written with CUDA to run with GPU support, which competed in the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge in 2012. The network achieved a top-5 error of 15.3%, more than 10.8 percentage points ahead of the runner up. AlexNet was designed by the SuperVision group, consisting of Alex Krizhevsky, Geoffrey Hinton, and Ilya Sutskever.

The same could be said for something like Perl, where code gets a reputation for being only readable if you wrote it yourself because no two people know the same subset of the language.

That is probably an exaggeration, but it's definitely a problem you see in large complex languages with multiple ways to accomplish any particular task.

I'm wondering if there's lots of deadhead trips with existing commuter rail use in existing data. I was guessing that because people typically live close together who go to the same bus stop there would be less deadhead, if people carpooled, as the people who got on the ride would get dropped off at the same time people get picked up.

Why on earth would a portable drive need to store the decryption key for its data, however protected??

Actually I've never looked before into "encrypted drives" and I don't know what do they do or what purpose exactly do they serve, I must have written that thinking about HSMs and other signing devices.

It does seem indeed that at least those Kingston drives do not store the encryption key (actually, they store it but encrypted with the password).

I'm not sure what purpose do the FIPS certification and all those physical protections serve, then.

I assume you're referring to some simple lane-keeping CNN where the CNN predicts steering angle from a video recording+human inputs: and yes, your dataset isn't extensive enough, and you'll never have enough data either, not due to some amusing bias in your CNN or taking shortcuts, but because it's a reinforcement learning problem and not a classification problem - your RC CNN could learn a better model of the road which doesn't involve lights at all and it won't make any real difference, it'll still be unable to correct for its errors or adapt to new situations and crash.

It turns out that the Apple USB-C high-speed charging cables just don't support the required Thunderbolt standard, and the software can somehow tell that the cable is incompatible despite it fitting in the slot.

I've used Rover a couple times. Don't ever use Rover. But if you do, be sure to vet the person as you would a random craigslist ad offering to walk your dog. They do no screening, and any qualifications that appear cannot be trusted.

My dog survived with a handful of punctures after being attacked by an off-leash dog at a park. The rover walker neglected to inform me, even when asked if anything happened.

You want your dog walker watching your dog, not their phone to tap a button every time your dog pees. Hire a professional.
Actually no, just because you kill someone doesn't mean you're going to jail. If someone is attacking you and you lash out in self-defense, you're very likely to not go to jail as everyone is expected to be able to defend themselves. It sounds very much like this was a defense mechanism to overwork. The fact that they didn't give him time off before approaching him was kind of crappy in the first place. It should never have come to what it came to.

I hired a cleaning service through Groupon once. I opened the door to four people walking right by me without saying a word (they didn't speak English), and one "front person" who barely spoke. I had never had a cleaning service come in before, so I had some questions. I was also expecting one person that I could follow around the house to make sure they didn't take anything, but all I could do now was have faith in my fellow humans (in an industry notorious for theft). That was very off-putting, and I can't see how anyone would hire someone to clean their house whom they didn't completely trust. I know people do, but I will never again.

EDIT: Just saw your response to the other comment where you thought it was dry-cleaning. It may well have been, but I'll leave my story here anyway, since it's sort of in context.

Gravitational wave is caused by the abrupt change of movement of massive object through spacetime. I would imagine the two neutron stars are traveling to each other in way slower speed than the speed of light. When the edges of the two neutron stars first touched, their movement was abruptly stopped and the gravitational wave propagated out. The light only went out after the merging of the two objects, the compression, and the ignition of the kilonova, which took some time.
It's sort of an art, what with variable conditions and whatnot. Surprisingly, automatic trains manage to get it right, being programmed to ease on the brakes just right to avoid a jostle altogether. Fewer variables to keep track of, I suppose.

People misunderstand this stuff in part because of the failure to make a distinction between a theory (which is often a mathematical description of a system, though this depends on the discipline) and an interpretation (which really is an idea in someone’s head, though often one we have good reason to believe). Scientists mostly work with the former day-to-day, but the general public is mostly interested in the latter.

Usually this distinction isn’t really a big deal, but in some cases - quantum mechanics, for example - there’s a big difference between the two, with multiple interesting interpretations to consider.

When we don’t make this distinction it creates an opening for people with poor understanding (or, occasionally, bad motives) to nitpick extremely well-established theories on the basis of quibbling about interpretation. I worry about this with respect to climate change specifically: deniers come up with a million reasons that climate change may be partially natural, or that this or that industry may be unfairly maligned, but we can’t get sucked into those debates so much that we forget the big picture painted by the data and models we have.
I think a big part of the problem is that there is too many vague, unspoken rules of the road. Making them explicit would also be impossible because there would be far to much to calculate accurately while driving (for the average person).

For example: corner to corner crossing is a normal law for pedestrians. Technically, you should always yield the right of way for pedestrians to cross in this manner. Say you are on a two-lane main road through town, and there is tons of traffic. Do you stop at every single corner to let one person cross?

The law says yes. Everyone waiting on you is going to say HELL NO! The people that stop at every corner think they are god's angel doing the right thing, but really they are being a massive sh*t head.

That's just one example of the fuzzy line between breaking the law for the common good or following the law to a tee to the detriment of everyone on the road.

Obviously, the best solution is just better city planning so that pedestrians rarely have to interact with traffic. When they do have to interact with traffic, it should be limited and explicit ( red lights, big marked crosswalks, etc).
>>That's about what kind of risks and rewards you want for your investments or savings.

True, if I were a retailer and not looking to invest long-term in cryptocurrency for example, I might prefer to receive a stable coin rather than a cryptocurrency, and then eventually liquidate it for fiat it or exchange it for goods/services.

>>If a trustworthy stablecoin arrives, you will probably want to collateralize some of your other assets to lend stablecoin just to participate in trades and contracts.

That's true, but that's a big 'if' in my opinion.
The best way to look at "serverless" is that it's a deployment strategy. Instead of deploying a service you are deploying functions or files of code versus a fully functioning service.

No, it's not wavelength change, it's the number of wavelengths that fit in each "arm" of the detector. With 4 km arms and 1000 nanometer laser wavelength (actual numbers), you will have 4 000 000 000.00 wavelengths that fit in each arm. When a gravitational wave passes, one arm will have 4 000 000 000.10 wavelengths and the other is unchanges. Since we're working with interference, this parts-per-billion change is converted into a large change in light.

Mechanical analogy: there are two very long very fine pitch helical gears that are both suspended from one end and mesh perfectly at the other end. When the gravitational wave makes one gear undetectably longer, we can easily see that the gears no longer mesh.
> it is not uncommon to reduce the number of conditionals for better CPU pipelining, and lookup tables are a very common tool for this.

On modern CPUs, data dependency, such as lookup tables often cause pipeline stalls — worse pipelining.

L1 cache is at a premium as well, you rarely want to waste it to access LUTs.

You can compute a lot in 12 cycles caused by L2 hit (L1 miss). In theory up to 32 * 12 = 384 floating point operations.

The way to respond to that is to say that time and resources are limited, he can choose which one he would like to prioritize. If he doesn't say you will pick one to work on and begin on the other afterward. If he doesn't like the one you worked on first, he should have chosen differently. You can physically only work on one thing at a time. They choose or you choose. You have the power.

They're definitely open to interpretation. It's really interesting to see how different teams define the same value.

Diversity is a great example. I'm happy to see "Team is Diverse" ranked so highly across the different segments. While it's easy to confuse gender diversity as being true diversity I think people are talking more and more about intersectionality and diversity across race, age, sexual orientation, education, work experience, and also interests. We don't know what people are thinking of when they select "Team is Diverse," but a desire for more diversity of any kind is definitely a good thing.
