I agree - and this is even more true at state schools than the slightly more selective schools (like RPI that I went to).

State schools have people that got into MIT, but didn't go for financial reasons or family reasons. Nobody at RPI got into MIT because if they did they would have gone to MIT (maybe some rare exception exists, but this is generally true).

School admission is obviously not a perfect indicator of ability, but I suspect while the average and median may be higher (and more tightly distributed) at a school like RPI, a state school will have a lot more outliers.

Everyone is fighting for students from the super selective schools and state schools are largely ignored - students either need referrals to get interviews or jump through a ton of hacker rank like hoops.

This is even ignoring the 'diversity' angle - a lot of really great people are missed because it's hard to break in without knowing someone or having the right credentials.

NodeUp episode 121: peer-to-peer Web deep dive
Keyboard buffers are decidedly not on the physical keyboard. The keyboard might have a very small one, but the IRQ is triggered on every input.

The buffer in question is, for a tty, a driver-level buffer that holds on to the data until something reads it. If a command doesn't read it (which things like apt-get update don't) then it'll get read as the next command.

Of course, most terminals these days are ptys accessed via emulators, so the buffer is actually part of the emulator, but the same idea applies.
The Mesa Imaging SwissRanger is an amplitude modulated system, not frequency modulated. It's also not really LIDAR, as it uses LED illumination, but AMCW LIDAR is more or less the same principle. A better comparison might be laser tape measures - these often use phase modulated LIDAR rather than direct ToF. You can also buy phase shift scanning systems from people like Leica Geosystems.

In a ToF camera (at least some of them - see lock-in pixels), each pixel is sampled four times per cycle to detect the phase offset from the outgoing illumination. The SwissRanger was one of the first time of flight cameras. The reason it suffers short range is because of phase ambiguity - the lasers are modulated at around 30MHz which gives a wavelength of 10 m or so. The ambiguity distance is half this (5 m). LIDAR systems historically got round this by using multiple modulation frequencies for different distance scales.

This tech is now everywhere thanks to Microsoft buying Canesta.

What does "infinite nature of time" mean in this context when time is a feature of the universe we inhabit?
Your whole post makes it seem like there is a grander, more absolute notion of time that's independent of our universe.
> I don't validate an entire codebase every time I commit.

Linus' point is that you don't need to validate the entire code base, if you have one signed commit then everything that is "below" is also (implicitly) signed. For example you can have a feature branch that has many small commits and one merge commit that joins feature branch with master and you just need to sign the merge commit to make sure all of these small commits are OK.

While I haven't looked for more info, I can assure you IPFS is a slower protocol than HDFS.

The existing IPFS implementation involves a lot of overhead in memory, CPU use, and latency [and as you can see in the MapReduce bar graph, it's slower], but overall, it improves performance when bandwidth is the bottleneck.

IPFS is pretty similar to BitTorrent, just more practical.
One of the reasons I posted this is because I wanted more discussion on the topic of this paper. On the website, I didn't see much of a discussion happening. As in the comments here, it seems that the term coined for this is "ego depletion".

Recently I've noticed many articles on HN how sugar, carbohydrates, dieting, etc. affects the brain, gut, and overall human body. Ego depletion is now on my list of topics to research further because I want to know more about the human body. I always thought of my Kinesiology class in university to be important because it taught about the relationship between the health of the human body and its environment. I hope there will be more findings in the future so we can, in a sense, optimize ourselves. For example, based on this paper it seems that eating a snack when studying can lead to better processing information and staying focused.
Neural networks are used for nearly all of ASR now. Last I heard only the spectral components were still calculated not using a neural net and the text-to-speech is now entirely neural network (i.e. you feed text in and get audio samples out). I'd be surprised if they don't do that for ASR too soon if they haven't already.
First of all, these are integrations that you explicitly install (like installing an app), so that's obviously opt-in. That's a bit different from the adtech stuff many companies do without any benefit to you.

Second, why do you ask just about Google and not the other companies involved? For example, if you're interested in the Trello integration, you also need to trust Trello with any data you send there. Presumably anyone interested in that particular add-on has already decided to trust both Gmail and Trello with their data, or they wouldn't install it.

Apparently this is what the install screen looks like:

I don't think people have come to grips with the nature of manipulation. We talk about letting everyone vote in realtime, but that doesn't solve the problem, because it's not looking holistically enough.

For example, Suppose on average 1% signup for the military in high school. Next suppose we add an intervention, we add a sign in the lunchroom for military recruiting (touching on all the right emotions). The average in these schools goes up to 3%! We say, these additional recruits CHOSE to join, but we know they wouldn't have had we not added the sign.

It's in this way that I say that realtime voting doesn't solve the problem, because it doesn't look holistically enough, namely at influence. It's not just at the ballot box, but in your daily life. The question then becomes, who can influence and how much?
Never thought about this.. I have never had a huge desk, but I had a tiny desk for my last year of university - with my laptop on it, I could only write on half a sheet of paper - and my productivity was definitely at its lowest point.

The first part of that statement is the basis of postmodernism. No truth, no (valid) science, no reality. That means that everything, including science, computers, ... is only there for $reason_of_some_other_ideology. Usually some outlandish far-fetched stupidity.

E.g. did you know math only serves to oppress muslims ? Computer science has only one function : make black people slaves again ?

And the second part of the given statement is a very popular ideology on campus. Together, let's call it "applied postmodernism", because, well ... that's what it is.

That postmodernism means science isn't valid, a view unlikely to be well-considered by most postmodernists in America and on campus, isn't too surprising since the search for truth and the standards of truth in science are themselves ideological. And the ones we use are very much part of the Greek-Christian "Western Civilization" ideology and it's evolution over time. It is very much not a popular viewpoint. The evolution of most, if not all sciences, very much happened within Western Civilization, Christianity and after 2000 years of that, odds are that half of postmodernism is kind of true : that the Christian worldview is part of most sciences and that most or all other ideologies and religious viewpoints are rejected very fundamentally.

But if you look at history, Christianity is pretty unique in that it never fully exterminated science in it's world. Note: this happened despite trying repeatedly to extuinguish it, but every time other Christians saved and "re-booted" it (you could go further and point out that while plenty of countries and even international movements tried to snuff out science, the Vatican never did, and always managed to protect itself and it's archives and teachers, so you could even say that Christianity protected science). Most or all civlizations advanced in science, but it never lasted. In most or all other civilizations science was snuffed out, usually either to make a revolution happen or to protect entrenched interests. In a few, external military invasion destroyed it.
Deep Learning (DLSS) and Reinforcement Learning (RLSS) Summer School 2017
Rankings do not fairly represent quality of students when compared internationally. Very very few people will go to UB if he/she was accepted to Harvard/MIT so very few top students in US ends up in UB. University of Country (ranked the same as UB internationally but the best in that country) gets almost all smart students from that country.

Quality of education itself is mostly irrelevant - difference is small and it's good enough pretty much everywhere now.
>It's bad, and it matches that of the schools we recruit from.

I don't understand this. If you're matching the diversity of the market, that would seem to me that your recruiting practices are unbiased, which is good, right?
Annoyingly, though, these markup features still require explicit approval from Google to function in Gmail. They aren't even usable at all for small sites, as one of Google's approval requirements is a "consistent history of sending a high volume of mail from your domain".

> I also grew up in Fife, although my parents paid good money so I would have an Edinburgh accent.

I grew up in St Andrews, both of my parents having grown up in England, and went through speech therapy as a young child (due to dyspraxia); unsurprisingly, with that, you can imagine my accent is much closer to RP than any broad Fife accent, though most of my speech is definitely Standard Scottish English.
We are doing this at SignalBox - but recently better containerisation with Docker has given us much more flexibility, and now we can dedicated host or multi tenant with very little configuration change, I’d recommend going down this route

(Some of our customers, e.g. ad tech, fx trading) have very low latency requirements do being able to dedicated host them has been good

The Quanergy system looks like it's doing conventional pulsed time of flight (maybe FMCW, but I don't know). They're operating in a frequency band that lets them put out a lot of power without risking eye safety, which means long range. Pulsed LIDAR is basically limited only by signal to noise, so provided you get some photons back and you know they're 'yours', you can measure long distances.

I didn't even understand the whole world of prestige and specialization among colleges when I was 16 or 17 and trying to pick a school. I didn't know that some schools were where the "good" people go. I just knew I was supposed to go to college, so I visited the local Penn State campus and people said "don't come here". Then I visited another state school and people seemed to like it, so that's where I went.

I wonder if people realize how rare it is to even understand these things. If you don't have people in your family who went to college you are unlikely to be initiated into all this. If you do have a lot of people in your family who went to college, that's a serious leg up.

Now I work in a fancy startup where everyone went to Stanford, MIT, Harvard. It's a very weird feeling.

A few more reasons occur: Bolsheviks nationalized all foreign possessions in Russia (which were very substantial - foreigners owned 90% of the railways for instance).

Also they appealed to the proletariat in the world and showed the potential of revolution to be real.

Lastly they simply weren’t integrated with the western global financial and economic system. Really the source of the friction, more so than ideological reasons. For centuries before Russia was a virtual colony of the West, sort of like the third world today.
I'm a Florida native. Many of the issues in Cape Coral are common to other cities and regions in Florida. I've been toying with the idea of suggesting that we deny political franchise to immigrant residents (e.g., retirees). We should allow voting only to those born here and those who have made a commitment to the state beyond their own lifetimes (e.g., raising children here). I'm 45. For my whole life, every issue around infrastructure is politicized between retirees on a fixed income who are not willing to pay taxes for infrastructure from which they will largely not benefit and younger people who want more infrastructure (e.g., because they have jobs to go to and would like better roads or they have children and would like better schools). The baby boomers and other retirees simply outnumber the active citizens, so such measures get voted down. These demographics are changing, but it will still be decades before matters improve.

It depends on what you are trying to do. Softice was good for "kernel" debugging, rather than just simple user space programs for which things like turbo debugger (and more modern solutions), were as good if not better.

For windows kernel debugging, there is windbg, kd, and assorted "emulation" methods like qemu's gdb stub. Similarly for linux/kgdb/etc... OTOH, Softice had a number of OS data structure aware commands in the late 1990's which are only really available in something like windbg. In theory you could write kgdb macro's to perform most of that functionality for linux/etc but it doesn't work out of the box.

Although in the end, the logical replacement for softIce, is a JTAG debugger of some form. A fair number of the ARM platforms work with DS5/Dstream which provides source level debugging with far more functionality (for example trace level timing information) than softice as an "ICE' ever did. I guess its the same for intel's ITP-XDP3/system studio products these days.

Again, it depends on what your trying to debug. AKA do you need the "ICE' (aka JTAG these days) functionality, or are you just looking for a powerful kernel or user-space debugger.

Forget CRUD applications. Most of the work at most companies, including the usual Big Ones, simply isn't that complicated for anyone with just about any technical degree. On your scale most of it, almost all of it, tops out at like 50-60.

These companies set the bar at 70+ for a number of reasons. Their own egos ("I only work with 'the best' so therefore I'm also 'the best' and don't want to water that down"), status signalling for the companies, to keep bright young talent from starting a competitor, etc.

7 cents per mile on LIDAR would be reasonable in a truly driver-less system. Uber costs like $2.8/mile and vehicle cost estimates are usually around $0.5/mile, leaving a healthy overhead for a driver-less system to live in.
Those MBS shorts that Goldman Sachs held were with counterparties who couldn't have paid up had they not been bailed out. The same goes for JPM and their monstrous derivatives book, which would have lost enough value to make them insolvent many times over in the absence of a bailout.

The idea that these banks were perfectly healthy is a lie propagated by bailout apologists.
So, in summary, your "local" radio station can now become a broadcasting node for a centralized mass-market company, and the actual content can come from anywhere. Put another way, it's like calling the New York Times your "local" paper, when you live nowhere near New York City.

Granted, the FCC does have a point in stating that this could allow small rural stations to stay on the air when they might otherwise go dark. But if you're just going to give me an ad-filled, OTA version of SomaFM (only with crappy, "one-size-fits-all" generic pop), maybe it's best to just let them go dark as an artifact of an earlier time. Some day kids can go on field trips to look at the equipment, which will be right next to the telegraph exhibit.

China has done an amazing job of growing their economy, even in spite of being a self-perpetuating dictatorship that destroys anyone who challenges their political rule, even kidnapping people from other countries who publish books they don't like. But compare them to say India, China has grown so much faster. It's interesting to think about different systems. I do expect China to inevitably face a downturn because of stimulating the economy too much with unneeded infrastructure, bad loans that cities have, etc.

When we find a candidate we're interested in pursuing, we ask our recruiting operation to do two things prior to sending us the candidate's resume.

1) Remove the candidate's name/address. Replace with local-to-office = yes|no. Leave phone for screening call.

2) Replace the candidate's education credentials with yes|no on post-HS attendance, and the focus of study. No other information necessary.

It's made a huge difference to us.

In Which My Identity Is Sought by Federal Grand Jury Subpoena
The problem in practice is that for every Emily or Anthony, there are a hundred students at 2nd and 3rd tier universities who, partly through their own failures and partly due to the unfortunate circumstances they’re in, are completely incompetent.

So your implication is that the ratio of "competent" : "completely incompetent" for students coming from these schools is roughly... 2:100?

I know you can't possibly mean that. But your language clearly implies that ratio. The only question is why you're making such a bizarre implication.

I often find that those who are so keen on “hiring broadly” have never worked in a company that hires primarily from Podunk State

Was the original article suggesting that your company hire "primarily" from Podunk State? Or simply that you probably don't want to hire near-exclusively from the Top 5?

The key is not to focus on the schools (rather than to focus extra on state schools. Instead, develop methods for identifying talent based on its own merits, regardless of where it is or what university it went to.

Which is exactly what the original article was advocating - a "completely blind, skills-first approach". In particular, it was definitely not arguing that one should "focus extra" on state schools.
