> in the hypothetical universe there might be a law of physics that solves NP-hard problems

I agree with this part.

I wasn't thinking specifically about P vs NP though. (if I was, I think that would be a kind of weak argument because we don't have a proof that P isn't equal to NP ? At least not yet.)

I was thinking more in terms of like, Solomonoff probability and Kolmorogov and things like that.

And even if you suppose that the universe in question has a Turing oracle, I think you would just have to go up enough levels in that hierarchy in order solve that.

Even without that though, looking at the space of permutations on N, I think it is likely that there is a natural way to talk about what things are true of "most" things in that space, and things like that, which could, I think, support at least a weak sense of degrees of naturality between mappings, even without appealing to computational complexity.

Edit: I figured I should respond to this part also:

> In fact, if the problem is right, you might even end up in a situation where they can't hook their NP-hard problem solvers together in a way that solves problems that we would consider polynomial.

I think that whatever process is needed to get the output in a form that can be used as input for other things in general should be considered to be part of the computational process. Maybe that should even be implied by the meaning of "compute".

Like, say that some computation takes a number as input in a binary representation, and outputs a number, but outputs it in ternary. If you are talking about how fast the process is on numbers, it should include the time needed to convert back to the binary representation. (Unless, of course, the computation that you are considering the process to be doing includes the "input is in binary, output is in ternary" part. If it is being considered "on numbers" though, I think it should include the conversion time to and from whatever representation of numbers is being considered to be canonical.)
This usually happens from node_modules, marked as a library folder, so it's indexed and might even be relevant, but it shouldn't really be a better match than the one in the source. And it's not even consistent.

Hope they'll get their shit together, it used to be a pretty great IDE before these annoyances started piling up.
Does anyone know what the fish oil additive is used for?

I was recently researching how Trader Joe's coffee is so inexpensive and found some reviews noting a "fish sauce" flavor and a "fishy" flavor in two TJs coffee products.

This is an extraordinary essay. I read it on an hour-long bus ride, expecting a history of undersea cabling to put me to sleep. Instead, I devoured it.

The history of undersea broadband is the history of human civilization - it requires amazing leaps in technology, in international cooperation, in private-public negotiation. These three forces shaped the 20th century and are going to determine whether we survive the 21st century.

Absolutely essential reading.
1) Tesla likely secured a good deal for Panasonic batteries, as I think some of them were co-designed, like the latest bigger 207000 battery cell. From what I've seen in past articles, Tesla always had the cheapest battery packs per kWh.

2) Tesla also likely has a significant advantage in battery pack architecture, from safety (they offered to teach Boeing how to design battery packs so their EV planes don't catch fire a couple of years back), to withstand more extreme weather conditions (hot or cold), to having an industry-leading battery degradation performance. I think I've seen reports of Tesla batteries only losing 4-5% of charge capacity after 100,000 miles.

The funny thing is, the "prayer hands" emoji doesn't really exist in the spec -- its use is completely based on a misinterpretation of the Japanese "folded hands" gesture, which is supposed to mean "thank you".

This is fantastic for AMD! Intel has the largest market share for GPUs with integrated graphics. While I haven't looked into it too much, it sounds like an opportunity for Intel's market share on top of what they already have. Let's just hope that Intel doesn't pull any legal tomfoolery and steal AMD's IP.
It's not clear to me why this was made. We'll ignore the question of why you would want an ISO (you can write a DMG direct to USB, and Jamf, DeployStudio, etc, require a PKG...), and move on to optimization.

You can skip a lot of the convert/copy/asr steps by just using the hdiutil -srcfolder command, targeted to the createinstallmedia DMG, in conjunction with your target format. (This can be reproduced in Disk Utility as well, by the way.) As far as I can tell, you need about 3 commands here, and not a 189 line bash program with functions.

As mentioned elsewhere, Disk Maker X is the way to go. Thanks for sharing your work though, even if it's a bit over-built.
> If the government funds contractors to e.g. clean government buildings, should the contractor automatically be subject to all sorts of considerations "in the public interest" just because it is being paid with tax dollars?

IANAL, but that's actually true. For example, government contractors are required to have affirmative action programs. See, for example here: https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/tools-and-samples/hr-...

Initially when I heard that, I thought Tesla was bluffing. But the Ludicrous mode with P100D performance, and the fact that no other electric car maker is able to match that, leads me to believe that they are not bluffing.

I'll also add where I see math fitting in: imagine some complex 3d object changing in time. Now imagine it's wrapped in a kind of net, like you see in 'wireframes' in computer graphics. If that complex 3D object is our universe, I see math as like that wrapping wireframe: there is a strong correspondence of some kind, and it covers the full extent of what's out there in some sense, but there are still gaps and extents into other directions etc. which are not math (or any form of human description).

By refering to 'math's invention' you are already prejudicing the matter.

It is precisely whether Maths is a subset of subjective experience that we invented or whether it has always been a superset of the universe our subjective experience is embedded in that we merely discovered is precisely what is at issue here.

It's easy to get confused by the language used to frame things. I could say that language only has countably infinite possible statements, so it must therefore be impossible to use set theory which is learnt through and derives from language to analyse uncountably infinite sets, but it would be a bad argument.
Pay for color figures in print, for example (a few hundred per figure if I recall correctly).

Furthermore, you get an author's copy with watermarks with very limited dissemination rights. You don't get a copy of the journal issue unless you pay.

Also, this varies very much by discipline. Math research is pretty universally available on the arXiv, but chemistry or biology is not nearly as pervasive.

This is actually a smart move for AMD, and here's why.

These chips from Intel are going to be the super-high top end mobile chips in laptops that cost serious money, and have a rumoured 45w TDP.

Raven Ridge on the other hand is a traditional AMD APU, albeit with a decent CPU component - it's not going after the same market segment at all, it's going after the segment where you want to maybe do some light e-sports gaming.

This way, AMD gets both bites of the cherry - they get to sell their APUs with Zen, and they also get to target the super top end.
I would, probably, depending on the level of customization.
Ah yeah, I've always excluded node_modules. That's true though, it should probably be indexed.
I think you overestimate the heft of Apple in x86 world.

a) Sure, Apple doesn't have a low end and as such higher overall margins, but: The Big Three all have a sizable mid-/highend/ultrabook/business range as well with just the same i5/i7/core m CPUs (only updated more often).
Apple surely is a good customer, but I severely doubt that the overall margin difference for Intel between them and Apple is even in the remote vicinity of an order of magnitude.
What is an o.o.m. higher though is the market share of those three (~60% vs ~6%).

b) I just don't see a bargaining chip. What's the "or else" from Apple's side? Full Ryzen? Would actually be cool, but Ryzen is still completely unproven in the mobile world, and this would be all the more reason for AMD not to enter the deal.
ARM? Yeah...I wouldn't hold my breath.

You have to consider that this isn't a simple internal SKU customizing, but a significant and delicate licensing deal with THE direct competitor in x86 world. (The tech is actually the simpler part, seeing that it's not an integrated solution but a MCM.)
Apple would have to have severe leverage that they would be the main driver for Intel for such a move. Or they are paying a real buttload for this tech - but then you can be sure they want exclusivity. And the statement really doesn't sound like it.

The corporate tax is actually a small (but not negligible) portion of tax revenue. Part of the logic for capital gains tax being lower than income tax is to account for the double taxation of the corporate tax. So I would be in favor of raising the capital gains tax to make up for eliminating the corporate tax.

I also happen to think that taxes should be lower overall, but I think it’s best to divide the two issues: 1) how much we should be taxed, from 2) how we should be taxed.
There are some other versions here [1], but nothing I could find easily on Youtube -- even a BBC article from earlier this year was using the same recording as this article.

Against my better judgement I did a reverse image search and found the post that you found that screenshot from [1]. The post is full of people having exactly the sort of problems you would expect from an automatic software updater, along with instructions from Jeff on how to manually update using SSH and git.

These things happen. The world is messy, and whether due to technical inadequacy or run-of-the-mill software updater bugs, web backends will not always be updated. As you've noted, this could eventually lead to security problems, and I agree -- but that doesn't justify intentionally breaking their code. To say that their breakage is justifiable because they'll be 0wned at some point anyway is an absurdly darwinian argument.

To address your last question, the way you update a system like the web is exactly the way we always have -- accretion. With very few exceptions, websites from the early 90s still work today. We didn't remove the `table` tag when we introduced flex boxes. We add new APIs while preserving existing functionality.

Don't insert words into my commentary that I didn't say. I said Go was boring. You agreed. I said Go wasn't the best designed language, which it isn't. Look at its package/dependency management, memory usage for processes, inability to guarantee a process will relinquish control so other processes can run. Go enforces code bloat that other languages don't. For example, a program in D will often times be half the length of a Go program that does the exact same thing.

You are right. Programming languages are tools, not ends unto themselves (something you said, not I), and just as I can use tools from Snap-on or tools from Harbor Freight, I'm personally inclined to use tools with superior engineering. Tools that are designed and manufactured to be robust and to last, because they make it so much easier for me to build meaningful things.

I also think it is an unfair comparison to take two of the most awful languages in computer history and use them to make a case for Go's superiority. It is like saying a Fiat 500L is an awesome car because it isn't a Yugo.

I ran across this article today while looking for information on PPI Awareness of web browsers. In particular, I'm looking at Hyper, an Electron-based terminal, and how I might be able to get the same type size from monitor to monitor.

As web applications and high-DPI monitors become more common, I can see more practial need for a measurement which is truly resolution-independent. I believe points really should have been this measurement, but were co-opted early on with Windows and Macintosh specifying a specific PPI (96ppi and 72ppi respectively) as a function of the OS as opposed to what the monitor actually reported.

Can we fix how points are handled, or do we need to go to mm or some other measurement at this point?
Huh, this is hard to swallow. What digital EE courses did you take in school?
I didn’t say anything about “collusion.” I said that it’s a worthwhile avenue for a national security investigation, to figure out exactly what you just asked (is there any evidence these investments were misused) and why it was done secretly. You’re acting like I said this is a smoking gun, when all I said is that it’s worth looking into. And while your whole comment wasn’t whataboutism, the “other countries do this too” part definitely was. Your scenario is certainly a possibility—maybe it was just a straightforward investment—but you don’t know that and shouldn’t assume it’s true.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. For AdaFruit, there are two (among many) options. A general "Learn" page (learn.adafruit.com) with all sorts of step-by-step projects using different microcontrollers. Most products pages will also have a list of projects and introductory pages (many with video). For example, the Raspberry Pi has this: www.adafruit.com/product/3055

Sparkfun has pretty much the same thing with a "learn" page (learn.sparkfun.com) and all sorts of tutorials. E.g. here's a list of tutorials/projects dealing with ATtiny variants, a microcontroller discussed in the original artical: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/tags/attiny
> Compared to what the USA does on a regular basis, Russia is a pretty good actor when it comes to external dealings.

No it is not. Russia is a very bad actor when it comes to external dealings, and the reason not many in the US are aware of it is because when USSR crashed and dissolved, Russia emerged from the wreckage much weaker and not yet able to wreak major trouble like USSR could. But where it can (in its immediate vicinity) it is as bad as it always was. True, US is not idea too and does its share of mistakes. But I don't think US - at least now, not 150 years ago - would just grab a chunk of territory of another country and declare it its own because they like it. Russia does that.

But it is currently not a major threat to the US (yet?) and most investments made by it are not for nefarious purposes, at least not in the US. With all their faults, those guys like earning money too.
Taxing the phone or the company’s margins should have the same effect, right? They’re both costs on apple’s revenue. Barring maybe some enforcement issue or something it makes no difference how you collect it, Apple will pass some of it off to their customers and eat another percentage based on whatever the new cost/demand curve looks like to them.
> why the Internet?

You could also ask why (privately developed) Ethernet, instead of the other LAN protocols like Token Ring. One possible answer is government is an elephant and has the power to push their standards - perhaps due to algore.

That's an interesting question, but is beside my point. My point is to counter the notion that without government funding, we wouldn't have a global network, that nobody would have connected computers together.
I've been using this one for my resume and I love it:

http://www.rpi.edu/dept/arc/training/latex/resumes/res.cls

As a hiring manager, I much prefer simpler resumes that are easy to scan. I don't really like the "five stars" self-rating stuff, however. It feels a little strange to distill one's language knowledge down to a number.

One thing I do love is when people include some of their notable open source projects. This gives me a chance to learn about their interests and see their skills first-hand.

Here's my LaTeX resume, built with res.cls and including a section about my OSS work:

https://chrissnell.com/resume?latex

Also: never, ever put a photograph of yourself in your resume. You're just asking for someone to judge you based on your looks, gender, age, or ethnicity. Likewise, don't put your age. If you've been around for a while, trim everything but the last 5-10 years of positions off your resume to avoid the unfortunate but oh-so-common ageism. Even old hiring managers can be ageist! Don't give anyone a chance to judge you on irrelevant characteristics until you've firmly established your appeal to the employer.

I guess that fits in with the "universal" aspect I described.

Yeah, I know...it's just in light of this argument the timing seems strange.

AMD are on the brink of offering products that for the first time since forever at least has potential to build up their brand vs Intel, to actually have a significant differentiator that they can market. It seems really harsh to kill that before it even begins. But yeah, it could actually be a sign that AMD knows it couldn't go the whole nine yards in this game anyway.
