Do you have a reference implementation of using WebRTC as a networking layer?

As far as I've researched, I've not seen anything which would enable reliable NAT traversal which wouldn't also make the network traffic trivially identifiable.

STUN works only for certain types of NAT and requires servers which aren't behind NAT.
TURN is an external proxy, so can easily be identified by monitors of the network.

The concept of Orchid seems nice but the actual implementation seems very hand-wavy.
Well, I just tried googling "rnn generated music":

Sounds like a pretty good polyphony, but of course, it could be just overfitting on Bach training samples.

Here are a couple of more sophisticated (and original) pieces:

It's not just about taking risks, it's also about understanding that the big-company oracles which turn over billions of dollars a year do so from ivory towers. Though they may have the numbers on what is happening far from New York or San Francisco, they don't have the eyes, the boots on the ground, or the personal contacts to know everybody locally and their problems which need payment-worthy solutions.

To argue that there are no market opportunities for new businesses is to argue that the world is a problem-free happy place to be in. This is clearly and inherently false. Some problems may require more capital than you currently have access to - which is why investors take meetings with the hopes of being persuaded, and many times, you just have to reduce the scope in order to reduce the amount of capital needed. The only real limits are legal and ethical in nature.

What sorts of things did these tools do?

I'm obviously aware you can't be precisely specific, but I imagine that the level of detail you _can_ share is probably still very interesting.

Sadley, never got around to Frazier.
That's a fair analysis. They are blockbusters first, and superhero movies second. I do hope that the genre will evolve towards more interesting topics beyond Good vs. Evil. The Dark Knight showed a nuanced view of how one cannot exist without the other, even within one hero's mythos itself. Unfortunately movies like The Dark Knight and Logan that are willing and capable of tackling nuance and complexity in a feature film aren't common for the genre.

I know that, I know what net neutrality is, I don’t want to discuss this anymore I got downvotes enough for one day.
Your job was to provide examples of "extremely misleading" statements by Oliver. You didn't actually disprove any of the four examples that you cited. You merely posited alternate theories or additional causes.

As such, I'm not going to bother replying to them.

But I suggest that you do some more careful research before using ITT Technical Institute to make a political or economic arrgument:

I recommend taking a look at Clojure Spec https://clojure.org/about/spec or Racket Contracts https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/contracts.html

The original developers include Thierry Coquand. Also there's a tradition of naming theorem provers after birds (that might have started with Coq though).

But they definitely knew that this pun was there.
Evolutionary algorithms are perennially intriguing, but generally other approaches are favored. Odd, considering the incredible success of evolution with extremely limited trials from a computational perspective. I wonder why evolutionary computation does not live up to the expectation?
As a bonus, .rs is the filename extension for Rust source (as well as the TLD of Lobste.rs)
PCIe 3.x supports a power-of-two number of lanes up to 16; it handles all the gory stuff needed to aggregate those lanes. Going to more than 16 lanes means having multiple channels, and you'll have to worry about clock skew, delayed (retried) and failed transactions and other wonderful things you get with multiple independent pipes.

I've never done it, but I'm interested in how hard it is. I know a guy who's done detailed design of PCIe hardware; I'll have to ask him.
Disagree with your view of the essay, but your anecdote is interesting. I learned something from analyzing the anecdote with inappropriate sincerity.

Why- of their own free will- would each economist offer $20,000 to eat the turd? There can essentially only be one answer. They value the schadenfreude or sense of power derived from watching their fellow economist eat the turn at greater than $20,000.

Why would each economist eat the turd? They value an extra $20,000 more than they value avoiding the disgust associated with eating the turd.

Long story short, that $40,000 of seemingly destructive trade appears to have improved both their lives according to their own value functions.
Ada users are called ... Ada users are never called :/
You have to take all this with a mountain of salt. Boosterism is the norm in our space, sadly. If one devotes time to learning a technology it is personally advantageous if that technology takes off. Hence you get this kind of "My programming language and community are already wonderfully perfect and kick more goals than there are nets to kick into" stuff. And the worse, yet related utter rubbish we see all the time. "C is a virus", "Perl is line noise", "failure to use JVM style garbage collection is idiotic and unsafe". etc etc. You can swap out those languages and swap in any others you like. It's pervasive and that is a shame.

This is the same kind of thing even if less stomach turning than the negative crud. It's pretty crappy and doesn't really belong here any more than Oracle and IBM global services adverts do. It is not anything like objective and in any sensible assessment of Rust should be roundly ignored. Just like big consulting firm whitepaper "Are you enterprise ready!?!?!"

All the very best to Rust hackers, may you achieve your technical goals in both your design and implementations and have loads of fun on the way!
I wonder what the cost would be to excavate a 250m diameter, 1km cylinder of rock versus building a large reservoir on top of a 3km mountain.

Granted, there are places in the world where it's going to be impossible to find a nearby mountain, but I'd imagine that it's similarly difficult to find places where you can dig out a stable 1km cylinder. Bedrock is not always a single hunk of rock, it can have seams that separate it into separate chunks of rock. And while in some places bedrock reaches the surface, in others it may be hundreds of meters below the surface.
Phone jamming technology is likely to be illegal, but you should check the laws for your local area. And you should obtain the advice of a local lawyer who is approved to give local legal advice, etc....

I can’t do any of that for you.

However, I can observe that there are passive means of blocking most radio signals (e.g., paint, wallpaper, aluminum foil, etc...), and those may not be illegal in your area. Again, you should consult your local lawyer.
Free Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business
I'd guess limited computing resources. Nature had billions of years times trillions of "experiments" instance to reach it's amazing current state.
This talk is right that effect systems aren't popular yet, except the way Haskell does them. But it's wrong about the trajectory of languages. Right now is the best time to be interested in using cutting edge languages in practice. Also right now has seen an explosion of new languages with interesting ideas, from Rust to Purescript to Elm (in the authors preferred realm of typed languages). Also industry is backing major post-Java languages like F# and Rust.

In short, the near future of PL is great, and exciting stuff keeps happening. Don't believe the naysayers.
Dune: Safe User-Level Access to Privileged CPU Features
The network effects issue is real, some kind of open graph could potentially be the answer, as upstart social networks start with the disadvantage of having to connect everyone somehow.

That said, I worry about the Myanmar thread: there, The Internet is synonymous with Facebook, and people trust it as an authority. The masses who are unequipped to think critically aren't going to be persuaded to choose something else as long as the platform keeps serving up paid "news" ads and click bait that reinforces their beliefs.

The powerful ability for a platform to target specific humans or allow any one to represent a trustworthy new organisation is problematic. These are interesting places to start too.
[New Blog Post]. Technology is a tool, not a solution
This is a brilliant synopsis of the state of the art -- truly fantastic -- and yet the presentation concludes with, "The innovation won't happen because I can't see where it will come from," and that's not entirely fair. Some areas he covers aren't exhaustively covered and what's missing is quite interesting. In other words, cheer up, there's more hope than what's shown here.

A truly fascinating read. Actually inspired me to preorder the mentioned book. I’ve never read a book this strongly Econ, but it interests me to no end so this should be an interesting journey.
For example in the Automotive industry a mail piece with a tracked phone number is used and that is cross referenced with Dealer sales data. The pieces are mailed to targeted lists of people qualified by credit score, postal code and recent purchase of vehicle make. Should the site be accessed via a personalized URL the user now appears through a variety of methods, same if they come from FB they’re claimed through offline conversions where sales data is compared to audiences. Using this readily sold and available data it’s easy to calculate spend and determine response. Even with single digit response (not uncommon for email) industries thrive.
> At the time, its small group of practitioners thought it might be an alternative to the more conventional ANN training algorithm called backpropagation (a form of stochastic gradient descent).

The author doesn't seem to understand what backpropagation is - gradient descent is performed on the derivative formed from backpropagation, they are not forms of one another.
But it has nothing to with typing, as typing means tying to a location in program, you can have processes communicating part of the same program, but the type-error will refer to a part of program and when the type-error is detected i.e. during execution of that part of program or some external part of program is what we are concerned here.

Example: You could think of an interpreter for a statically-typed language running various processes as the same program, but we still say the language is statically typed.

is it possible to use a set of music samples and through software find what piece of music is most representative of that set of music?

This is a great deck... but leaving TLA+ out of Formal Methods? It is hands down the most important thing going on there. And it is a combo between academia and industry. Amazon uses it extensively.
This could be titled "Static typing is not going to save you"? There's nothing but static typing languages and related theorem provers from the timeline slide onwards and the conclusion is that it's too hard.

This is a good companion piece for the recent Rich Hickey Clojure/Conj talk :)
One convenient metric is "how likely is it that someone with the particular knowledge required to think of this also has the problem I do?"

A "race to/for the bottom" is an situation with spiraling deteriorating standards, framed, by a cynical observer, as competition in which worse wins. That is not an inevitable result of the focused thinking in technical work. Maybe sometimes.
Minima/maxima in high-dimensional spaces are not much of an issue; the bigger issue are saddle points.

Probably the nightmare authoritarian governments had to deal with, at the advent of the internet brought them to that same conclusion.

And since they realized that, from their perspective, the "information" they were receiving was suspect, all they needed to do was just seed information that was also suspect - just in their favor.

(thats a confusing sentence - from the perspective of a Machiavelli, the naive belief that information is freedom is broken down into a more fine tuned model of information, delivery, reception, uptake and understanding. Their realization is that you can use the internet to hack people, instead of having the internet just hack their regime)
Fun hip dev shops can call them Rustaceans.

You would do well to check if your beliefs are falsifiable. If you believe that GDP objectively, universally, and precisely maps to real-world value, no thought experiment will disabuse you of that notion.
Got a write up?
I guess I should rephrase: my point is that Eliezer made what I would consider one of the most compelling pitches I’ve seen for entering finance if you’re looking for high stakes, intellectually gratifying work.
This is a great presentation, I wish I could hear the talk track.
While we can all differ on the right "winner" for the next programming language (I don't think Clojure is the right answer, someone else might), we are all stuck with the same set of facts - and this covers the state of things very well.
Most importantly, it explains certain truths of the social/economic ecosystem for programming languages - which is what gave us Java, Python, Javascript, and a few other really popular systems that seemed unlikely to succeed when they first appeared. The reasons for their success have just as much to do with "ecosystems" than with language features.
For production - 100% agree. For playing with code - not at all.
Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook are just tools of the gigantic consumption machine that has built up over the last 30-40 years. They enable new levels of mindless consumption and do it at speed that no one has ever imagined before.

To address it society has to address consumption.
Yep, also SGD is not necessarily implied either (for example, full batch gradient descent).

It's what happens when people identify intellectual ability (or other positive attribute) with tool choice, and also wish to identify themselves as having that attribute.
It's not about altruism. It's about doing what they promised. I do not care about their hidden motives (they are hidden, by definition, so who the hell knows what they really want to achieve). I care about politician X doing Y, as he said in the campaign. People elected him for Y, so if he does it, that's fine.

Now, you can wonder why people find Y so important, but it's not up to me to judge them: it is not important for me, but it's important for the majority, and as such I must respect it.
I don't really see where you get that. Is dynamic typing demonstrating a lot of sustainable success?
Jammers may interfere with peacemaker. You may end up in literally killing people.
The 2017 F8 developer conference featured a lot on Machine Vision. Processing images and video for objects, such as for automatic close captioning, is where vast resources are focused. I highly recommend watching a few of the videos, they’re specially aware as well and can infer orientation of obscured things like limbs. Microsoft has real-time audio translation, doing machine transcription at scale is totally feasible.
I couldn't agree more and was just making this point to someone last week - for many of the well-established languages, 80% of the reasons to use or not to use them is the associated culture, from the qualifications of the average applicant to the prevailing approaches to solving problems.
Hopefully you have a mature boss.

Kotlin has the best java interop for any of the JVM languages, so you don't have to rewrite everything in kotlin . You can gradually migrate while using the same tooling.

As someone who has wasted hours setting up these various tools on an EC2 instance (just to play around with cool projects and experiment) this is a gorgeous constellation of utility.
The consolidation of providers into big networks broke that virtuous cycle.

Your health provider has zero financial incentive to improve your health, and your employer or insurer will get more ROI from nitpick things like delaying claims or pushing out prescription fulfillment to reduce the spend this quarter.
What often happens to startups, is they begin with some exciting idea, and having looked into it/tried it, it doesn't pan out, and they "pivot" - sometimes slightly, often wildly.

I'm not sure how common this dynamic is in science and maths. Certainly, as you learn more, your ideas and concepts are inevitably refined. (Like: no plan survives contact with the enemy). But I don't know whether that "refinement" is too subtle to count as a "pivot".

However, serendipity has a storied past in math and science.
The Original Posting: Rayton Solar – Legitimate or Scam
News orgs need to find a niche and specialize.

Right now they are just getting overwhelmed, trying to parse the ever increasing tsunami wave of info that hits them each day.
Perhaps the powerful should have less professional privacy. But personal privacy is not far from dignity for many. So let's not make their personal lives any more of an industry than it already is.

Still, the idea that the weak should have more privacy sounds about right.
I read that you do web app work and like to keep browsers stock, if it’s not too forward consider debugging in private mode in a pinch.
This does exactly what I have been doing manually for at least ~15 times in the last week. If only I saw this a few weeks ago.. (It's easy / not lot of work, but why if we can automate?)
What does this have to do with Docker then?
Yeah, Ars Technica used to have great science and technology coverage. For the past few years though, it has just been... sad. Articles either have gross, embarrassing inaccuracies, or are very shallow.

They do have decent coverage of the space and telecommunications industries though. So they aren't completely hopeless.
Scoring news stories is hard
My original posting was taken down by Medium because I listed the contact info of two UCLA professors who might be able to stop the Rayton Scam. I've since learned that listing the contact info of people, no matter how unethical they are, is called doxing and is not allowed. Apologies. I've removed the references but Medium won't reinstate so I reposted. https://medium.com/@paltaparty/rayton-solar-legitimate-inves...
So bizarre, I was just fantasizing about this possibility the other day. Then here is this detailed analysis that just pops right up!
1/5 takes quite a stretch, or comparing to especially low-density batteries. Maybe in a couple decades they'll be there, but my understanding is that high-end supercaps are currently 25x less energy dense than a lithium ion battery.
> there's very little sense of urgency about it.

That probably means it doesn't really matter.
If you are making incorporating decisions based on taxes, you should probably not incorporate. How will you address CFC rules in your home country?
For Linux it's IME not BSODs, but deficiencies in desktop usage situations. A CPU and I/O scheduler that causes sound stuttering (now better than five years ago), or my favorite... CDs with read errors can hang much of the user interface forever and effectively require a restart. Not even mechanically force-ejecting the CD helps. It is AFAIK not due to programming errors in the UI - processes become unkillably stuck. Fortunately it isn't very relevant anymore. It may even have been fixed and I haven't noticed.
Regarding the conciseness of lambdas and collections, why doesn't Java offer methods such as map(), filter() etc directly in AbstractCollection? The implementations would then delegate to stream internally, so no need for the programmer to invoke stream(). I realize there are different kinds of streams, but having a sequential stream as a default would be useful. That would be one step closer to the Kotlin example.
How to Make Any Conversation Meaningful
> What else is zero-rating possibly intended to do? Zero-rating is obviously selling below cost, and businesses sell below cost to kill competition.

That's not the only scenario for zero-rating.

Not too long ago, getting international backhaul in Australia was absurdly expensive. So various smaller ISPs joined IXs, and then offered customers plans which had a certain amount of quota for your usual traffic, but traffic which was routed via an IX was zero-rated. This included game servers, FTP mirrors, usenet, and various internet radio services.

This is technically against net neutrality, but I don't see this as being a bad thing for anyone involved.
maybe backwards compatibility?
What a fascinating premise. Kudos to the author for doing such a thoughtful analysis. His technique for arriving at the cross-sectional shape is especially interesting. I would have never considered that the optimal cross-sectional shape to have been anything other than a circle.

I wonder if it would be possible to orbit the ring in the axial plane, around a single arm of the torus? Or even in a lemniscate, intersecting the inner Lagrange point?
I think the verge, could be translated from french as the rod ( and often used as a slang for this rod ).
The number I've read is saving 1kg of rotating mass is equal to saving 4kg of chassis weight. I can't believe rotating components make up 1/5th of a car's mass though.
No, "simply abstaining from food" is not what I do. In fact, I eat quite a lot of food. But, it's the types of food that matter, which is what this thread is about. Being on a nutritious but very low (net) carb diet puts your body in ketosis -- it changes the way your body metabolizes food and stored body fat for energy. This is very different from fasting and/or abstaining from food and also very different from religion. The clarity is real and widely reported by others who achieve ketosis.
