The academic world runs on reputation, and nothing, nothing else. Putting someone on probation, even once, destroys their career, or at least halts it for decades.

Which is why there are documented murders that people who were in danger of getting hit with academic sanctions committed to prevent those sanctions. Even if secret, the people imposing those sanctions are the ones deciding over the future career of the targets of those sanctions, so secrecy does not matter.

What I mean to say is that, firstly, there will be extreme reactions from individuals to any academic action against them. Truly extreme. At the very least they will blow up any cooperation there might exist. Second, everybody else will understand these extreme reactions, because they are justified by the ridiculous cost these sanctions impose on them. Addendum to the second one: often the supporters of people getting accused will threaten imposing sanctions on students of the professors going against their students, if they consider them valuable enough, for the more vague accusations (like plagiarism. Since technically having a single formula in a presentation unattributed is plagiarism, and everybody constantly does that, ... What I mean to say is that there is a LOT of "usual" plagiarism for more basic things and also a lot of accidental plagiarism, which results in that if you're a member of an academic board, you can bring this charge against virtually anyone at almost any time. Add to that that a lot of professors also have cases of less-than-accidental-but-currently-unpunished plagiarism to their name. Things that they committed where the victim couldn't bring a coherent case, but any of their colleagues certainly can construct a coherent case on behalf of their victims. So with one supporter in an academic board, you can get away with a lot. Without a supporter in an academic board, you're career can and will be torpedoed as soon as anyone in that board thinks it'll help them in some way to do that)

There are 100 academics, minimum, for every position available (which is one reason why so many "little positions" exist, like board members of conferences). That means one flaw essentially means you don't have a shred of a chance to achieve anything.

This means there are no "light" academic sanctions, and the result is that like the medival and muslim punishment for stealing, it causes extreme responses. It means that a thief in the middle east will shoot up a market rather than be arrested for petty theft, and it means a grad student will sue a university for millions to avoid a little note on their diploma saying he got suspended for a week for destroying some university property.
How do you get to the years and years of focused work?

Vocabularies are the building blocks and mapping points of our knowledge stores. I think the suggestion is that emphasis on awareness and, at least some symbolic reverence to the concepts in grade school may offer a better path that what is traditional now.

Memorizing state capitals won’t make anybody Governer, but skipping that step early on can be a major derailment from path. Memorizing the capitals offers one of many maps to understanding more about what America is, and how it’s government works. Knowing the names encourages curiosity and inspires asking questions that otherwise could not be asked.

It sounds entirely reasonable to me that this could be what we need. I agree years and years is what is required, but I notice many people my age (early 30s) still lack basic vocabulary of these topics, so I have a hard time opposing teaching exactly that, but certainly agree many years, and a significant curiosity seems necessary. How do help that along?
> As you say, all fixed without needing net neutrality.

They were enforcing their policy of net neutrality. After the courts struck these regulatory options down, the FCC adopted the Title II order to continue enforcing net neutrality.

"Let's buy each other's stuff if we feel like it" is a free trade agreement, not common historically. They tend to be very unpopular, so they do need to be formalized.

Trade agreements cover all kinds of things. Tariff rates, quantity of whatever that is allowed to be sold, where you're allowed to do it, most favored nation clauses...
Their politicians always like to pat themselves on the back and are trying to present Canadian situation as better than the US all the time. But the reality is not so clear cut.

It’s a shame so many people in Canada fall for it and let them get away with it meaning nothing changes.
That may be true on a mathematical level, but that's also the answer to just about any neural net question... it's all just a a weighted sum. My understanding of "attention" on a higher level is the ability to concentrate more neurons on "important" areas of an image than less important ones.

An imperfect analogy is how the human visual system has better resolution at your eye-line's center than at it's edges. In this analogy, your brain should not waste effort processing image details in your peripheral vision.

Your argument would be stronger if you didn’t resort to epithets.

Bitcoin was designed to be as decentralised as possible. It turns out this has serious downsides and it’s difficult to pursue the sort of financial revolution it aspires to without social revolution.

This currency chooses different trade-offs which the creators believe will make it more popular because most people don’t need or want trustless transactions. People delegate power for finance, politics and computing not because they are stupid or serfs but because they are willing to sacrifice some autonomy for the speed, ease of use and enforceable contracts which come with a central authority.
I was going to leave a snarky comment about "reverse engineered disassembler" but then accidentally saw the username. What do you mean by that?
All good points, hard to argue with. What would you suggest be done?
It just seems so random. I understand that CNNs are better suited to process pixels in a 2D grid, it sort of makes sense b/c images are in a 2D grid and the operations emulate convolutions used in lots of image processing. I also understand that RNNs used to process symbols, and their feedback mechanisms can emulate short-term memory.

Still... even though I understand what works and what doesn't, I don't really understand why RNNs are better at processing symbols and CNNs are better at processing images. They hold the same information, and work the same way, they are just organized differently. It makes little sense.

MGSV is also has comparatively low polygon count. Coupled with the clever shading, lighting and great art this it what makes it run so well and look so good.

Similarity Super Mario Odyssey has lots of clever tricks to hit 60 FPS. For example far away models animate at 30 FPS instead of billboarding. You won’t notice it because there’s so much detail and richness close to you.

On the other hand Just Cause 3 barely manages to keep above 25 FPS on a standard PS4. The difference is jarring.

As a side note the a Fox engine used for MGSV was also used for the P.T (Playable Teaser) for the cancelled Silent Hills. This was incredibly photo realistic and pretty scary!

Arts Council England: "we are saying that there is something so unique and important and necessary and fundamental about literary fiction in particular, that we need to focus on it and support it."

Yeah, right. Because navel-gazing is the only thing in literature worth supporting. We'd have fewer problems in the world if more people read (and appreciated) science fiction.

> routinely enters into contracts with foreign companies with the requirement that those companies create Canadian jobs while executing the work under that contract

Sure, for the price of government contract you can always find some things to do for some Canadians (and not that Canadians are bad at doing stuff, so they may be hired anyway, with or without this requirement, but since there is a special requirement, you could always ask for the special price...). Or invent them if needed. The funny thing is that any extra money spent on this requirement is taken from other Canadians...

> In this respect, CanCon isn't philosophically inconsistent with the government's other policies.

Oh, I'm not saying it's inconsistent with other policies. If anything, the tradition of "creating of jobs" (also known under the name of "broken window fallacy") is very popular among politicians of all kinds, and for a clear reason - the benefits of it are concentrated and easy to show, while the costs are distributed and easy to hide.

> Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Amazon all have Canadian-specific offerings

The question is not whether Canada should allow Microsoft to open its office in Canada, but whether it should force it to do so under the threat of being excluded from the Canadian market and prohibiting Canadians from using Microsoft products. Some people apparently think it'd be a great idea.

> For example, here's a good take on many Canadian actors who were part of X-Files while it filmed in Vancouver

I know a lot of quality Canadian production and actors (see my other comment in this thread about Canadian shows). Which begs the question - apparently Canadians are doing fine even on the market as strong and competitive as US TV/movie scene. Despite the fact that CBC has no way to force any US network to show Canadian content, as far as I know - they willingly do so, and not once but quite frequently. So why there's a need to do the same on Canadian market - what makes one think Canadian companies can withstand competition with Hollywood on Hollywood's own soil, but would inevitably lose in Canada if only CBC didn't take regulatory measures to prevent it?

It pays off for Google to develop Chrome, because:

* they can feed Chrome Sync data into their advertising databases.

* it means that they don't have to pay other browser vendors quite so much to make them the default search engine.

* they can take control over webstandards for their other profit-driven purpose.

* they can hinder the blocking of their ads.

Mozilla can't or chooses not to rely on any of these profit schemes, so they need other ways of making money.

No, the legacy decoder is virtually unused. This loop was designed to take advantage of the rules of the DSB. If you have the LSD enabled I don't quite know what the effect is.

> It may be that the maximum difference is whether we get a 4 cycle turnaround on the store-load forwarding versus a 5 cycle.

This is my guess as well, though I have nothing to show for it. It's actually possible to bring it down to 400000000 uops by delaying the loop even further with the same technique, but it won't speed anything up. The 4-cycles-per-iteration barrier seems insurmountable, which makes sense.
In most American accents, the two words are homophones, so misspelling one as the other in writing is quite common.
Tried to explain functional programming (in C# because it's a real world job) to a colleague. It's surprisingly difficult to sell benefits of purity and immutability if the there is no threading going on.

Someone had to trade the money that ended up in the billionaire's pocket. Presumably they received something of more value to themselves than the money, otherwise they wouldn't have made the trade.

This applies on the employee side too: employees have the option to go into business for themselves and take their skills directly to the marketplace, but they make a choice to trade surplus profits beyond their salary back to their employer, usually for the security of knowing that they'll continue to receive a paycheck even if those profits never materialize. This was a very conscious choice for me last time I took a job - I looked at it as "Well, I'll be doing the same thing I was as an entrepreneur, but my employer bears the risk of it not working out in the market" - though I suspect most people don't think like that. It is a choice, though, and once I felt like taking more risks, I left.

The name "Bitcoin Cash" is confusing, and the authors meant it that way, so they can piggyback on the branding.

There is no reason that the name of an unauthorized fork of a cryptocurrency should use the name of the original within it.

Which is true, so what's the problem?
We now recently had to design an internal system to manage student data. We went with REST and the first thing I did is to document all API-s in a repository using Swagger.

It's not really true that there are no standards, they defined Open API, it has a nice browser based editor to update the YAML files and it's easy to read an maintain.

All changes to the API-s are done via pull requests, so changes are reviewed.

The HTTP verb is also a non issue, there's 4... FOUR that you need to match with CRUD. Is that hard? Even if it is, read the docs.

Are you assuming REST is easier than RPC to develop and/or consume?

After moving to a REST based API there were endless meetings between co-workers of what is and isn't a good REST url. Our clients often come to us with dumb mistakes. Unlike RPC where the parameters go in a single place. With REST the parameters are spread across the verb, url, header, query param, etc..

Why do you consider literary fiction "navel-gazing" and why is SF that important?

If it isn’t, it will be.

Religious texts can be revered studied like mythology (because they are). Critiques of biblical literalism are already fairly old-fashioned and surprisingly unnecessary.

I have a very religious family, which was uncomfortable for me when I was younger. But, that didn’t last long. Once I began studying more art history, mythology and theology, the ‘Us vs. Them’ around the topic has largely dissipated. I participate in all the happenings and have helped my cousins of similar age in contextualizing it all. I feel like I am ushering a healthy shift forward and new atheism now feels old. I’m open to critique of this, of course.

This is crucial in the midst of loose and fast comparisons between technologies in the past and what we have now. Can a piece of complicated software like Bitcoin be re-engineered from the ground up? Yes, certainly, but that is a tough road to take, I would think, if you want to do what Bitcoin does at its core.

Bitcoin, the software, solves basic problems very well and is thus the basis of many altcoins.

I'll invest in the next big coin if it is significantly better than Bitcoin while continuing to maintain Bitcoin's core value argument.
You're right, though it got me thinking about what is the actual offer...
If they are offering 5% this might mean much less.
After the 1m round, there is an expected dilution of 25%. Additionaly, the ESOP will have to be refilled (since I will be getting most of it) which will dilute with another 10%...
My current estimate is that if N is what they are offering me than the real offering is expressed by N(1-N)0.75. So if they are offering 5% this actually means 3.5%.
Im wondering if they take this into consideration when they say "fully diluted".
> but in that case, you'd just have a /login and /logout endpoints, you'd do a POST to the former with a valid username/password to login, and a POST to the latter to log out, the end. That's super clear, and super usable, but nothing about that is RESTful.

And this is the beauty, compared to SOAP: you can mix-and-match. Make your resources as RESTful as possible (but e.g. omitting passwords/cc numbers), and implement the stuff that's not resources in good ole plain-json way.

For logins there's no other choice anyway, given the tons of different ways: some are email+password, some username+password, some add a tenant parameter to the mix, some add one of the dozens of captcha solutions, some want Oauth, various 2fa schemes, ...
I expect we'll be seeing many shakeups on what has (perhaps prematurely) become the established norms for NN architectures (CNN and RNN) throughout the next few years.

Yes. This is exactly what is going on. In the same time period described the power dinosaurs (Google autocorrected companies to "dinosaurs" but it kinda fits in more than one way so I'm keeping it) have implemented polices to slow down adoption of PV claiming they can't build the infrastructure fast enough to hold the growth but all the while just hoping to figure out a way to remain relevant while not embracing any kind of change.

You gain other intangibles being an employee... namely training, working within an industry and learning customs/norms, and meeting people.

I was an employee for years before I left to do my startup. I definitely thought about the purely monetary risk/incentive issues you raise, but I thought about many others:

- if I stay longer as an employee, will my training make my startup more successful?

- am I prepared to be alone, not relying on a boss to tell me what to do and provide guidance on my work quality?

- will I become isolated running my startup not relying on an employer for exposure?

- will being so independent make me more motivated or less?

There's no question I thought about monetary risk/reward, but it's so difficult to calculate any risk/reward with any new company. Often, all you have to go on are these softer questions that you have to answer for yourself.
What's funny is that most consumers of REST APIs do it through a wrapper that turns it back into a statically typed RPC. REST truly is a useless middleman that no one realizes they just don't need.
Yet another discussion where people talk past each other because everybody means different things by "REST". It certainly is not the "REpresentational State Transfer" as invented originally.
REST is freedom (with all its downsides when you can do what you want), SOAP is like military (with all its strong rules).

It's like comparing a micro web framework with a full web framework.

I think it always depends what you want to do in which scale with REST. What's great for a single hobby developer would be bad for a big world wide corporation.

If you really want more rules, more restrictions and more boundaries for 100 of developers working on your project you should definitely look on something build on top of it (graphql, odata) or one of the replacement architectures like grpc if you have high demands in your infrastructure.

For me as a developer I'm always happy when things are not overcomplicated at the beginning, but some developers like more structure down the road. At the end you need to get stuff done and I think it's better to educate yourself about REST in general than some big other framework which you need to implement somehow everywhere.
