> "In the last three decades, condensed matter physicists have discovered a wonderland of exotic new phases of matter: emergent, collective states of interacting particles that are nothing like the solids, liquids and gases of common experience."

Stripped of most everything, the sentence reduces to "Physicists have discovered a wonderland".

I'm almost wishing I could embed a graphic. It's been a while since I've diagrammed the grammar of a sentence. I wonder if students are still being taught how to do that. As an exercise, more for myself than what I actually think you need, I'll just do the rest:

- What kind of physicists? Condensed matter physicists.

- When have the physicists discovered this wonderland? In the last three decades.

- A wonderland of what? Of exotic new phases of matter.

- What are these new phases like? They're emergent, collective states of interacting particles that are nothing like the solids, liquids and gases of common experience.

I hope that was the sentence you were referring to :)

It started out as compiling VBScript but from my understanding it became its own beast, with all kinds of bells and whistles.

Yes, definitely there can be valid reasons to write your own language/compiler etc. Of course, the size of the Facebook code base, not to mention engineering team, put it in a clear class of its own. And the Hack project was run by people with extensive experience in compilers and type systems, not a summer intern... hah. But yeah, it’s not a bad idea in all cases. Facebook, google, Microsoft and many others have invented new languages and/or written compilers. And I’m sure there are valid reasons for a small organization to do it as well — but I fail to see what made it justified in this case. Then again the product didn’t go belly-up, so there’s that.

> It is also possible for the federal government to acquire zero-interest loans, given that everyone knows it has the magic printing press, so long as everyone is convinced that it will honor the bonds.

And let's not forget that what Greenspan did, lend the government money with interest, then pay the interest to the treasury department is very different from interest free loans.

VERY different I tell you !

VERY !

Well, not that different.

> That is why it is able to force bond yields to extremely low levels, even during a major recession.

Unfortunately that does mean that an ever increasing proportion of the effort and work of actual people goes to work that has no utility for society, and at some point it starts actually preventing people from doing useful work (because their income would be cut significantly compared to when they're doing useless work, paid by loaned money).

And at some point ... people realize this is what's happening. Rapidly and suddenly.

The worst of it is, despite > 4 TRILLION dollars injected in the economy by Obama (and a little by Bush and Trump), the economy is barely at the point it was before the crisis.

By this I mean that there are important indicators that have more or less recovered (e.g. GDP), and important indicators that have not even recovered at all (e.g. Participation levels).

But even the most positive indicators have recovered to the level the government claims it has. There has not, at all, been 2-3% average growth since 2009. At all. I don't understand why people believe that.

Worth checking the model before doing so - I've had at least one drive where the USB connection was built into the drive itself (i.e. no SATA connection). I think it was a 2.5" drive, but I'd presume it's at least possible with a 3.5" drive.
That's what I ended up for MemPa (described above). The idea is that I can't read binary sha256 output, and everything I know that can translate in hex can also translate in base64 leading to shorter secrets.

For the special chars, I chose the Safari way of encoding, i.e. I only extract alpha-numberics from base64, and add a "-" every 3 chars. This also improves readability. I assume that if Apple chose this way of doing, either they studied it and/or sites will conform to that.
My educated guess, based on 14-years working for MIT’s IT department: the fixes for Sierra and El Capitan broke something important, so they got pulled.

I'm more interested in the non-PASE (more accurately, non-Teraspace) situation. The single level store maps every program into the same address space. Will POWER speculatively access another user's data before it discovers that the pointer is invalid or the array index is out of range?
I understand the system very well :). But you could be doing 88 per hour on the 456 or ACE if you had modern signalling. 22tph/track is really poor.

If you combined that with walk through trains you could easily get a 200-300% capacity increase. There is a lot of theoretically low hanging fruit on the MTA, technically speaking.

Keep in mind how screwed cities like london are which do have the theoretical max per track and no other option but to build new subways. NY doesn't have this problem, it just needs to use its assets way better and there is room for at least a decade or two of further growth.

Semicolons should be used to join two complete sentences while having a “comma-like” flow (e.g. “I like cake; it tastes good”). I personally tend to use them quite a lot (despite being American). However I generally don’t put more than one in a sentence, which I think is somewhat standard. That being said, I don’t think it’s considered an error, per se, to do so.
Which is why I started with "Generally" :-)

"deficits are good". What are deficits ? Well government taxes X dollars, and governments spends Y dollars, on skyscrapers, computer systems, ... and Y > X.

That means 2 things. One, short term, one, long term. Short term there is at least Y - X more demand in the economy. That means more production is needed. That's great ! And no worries, every rightist on the planet will agree with that. More demand, more need for goods. That's great, that's excellent.

Long term, there is the problem that the government doesn't produce anything. If the government buys something (with some exceptions like infrastructure that represent like 5% of the budget at best) it's only a user. That means that if I pay $1000 in tax, or buy bottles of whiskey for $950 and drink them all, I have made the same contribution to the economy.

Deficit spending means that while I paid $1000 in tax, the government bought $1200 (for example) in bottles of whiskey, and drank them. It used the money for non-productive purposes (in the sense that they won't generate extra economic activity in the future).

In fact it's worse, since it's pretty much both throwing $1200 down the drain, in spending that I'm sure someone will enjoy but is ultimately useless, AND $200 in a loan that interest will come due on. But, if demand is anemic, the short term boost can matter more than the long term costs.

If instead I spent $1000 buying equipment for a coffee stand near a park in my neighborhood, and run that business, however. People would have access to coffee in the local park, and that would generate income, a job, ... That's the kind of spending we want : spending that grows the economy.
What a difference a JVM makes?
I think about this a lot.

People 100 years ago, if they teleported to today, would look at our lives, our possessions, the conveniences offered to us every single day by all of this increased productivity... They would probably wonder why we don't cut the hours we've worked by half or more. I don't quite understand it myself. Why does all of the time we've gained go to working, when it seems to me the cost of a "whole lifetime" has gone down by so much in the past 50 years.

Machines seem to already do most of the work necessary for a human life for us.

All shortcuts leak information. Anything with the equivalent of an early return leaks information.
It's just a rule of thumb, not an absolute. I tend to believe most developers are just doing a job (good or bad), and not out to get someone. So to me it's a numbers game where one explanation seems much more likely.

It's not that difficult to put in something much more subtle and still have deniability if the intent was malicious.
Consider though: a similar logic has lead us to not flush the cache, and here we are.

Until we have better ways of reasoning about and restricting the code we are running, it isn't going to get prettier. Conservative approaches like this may not be best for every propose, but in hardened code like a hypervisor it might make sense.
There is literature on Quasi-Newton and Krylov Subspace methods for training Neural Networks. For example, https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3104516.

I think the primary reason that such methods are not used much in practice is memory and computational cost: each function evaluation is expensive and you need to solve a very large system at every iteration.

Also to reply to a sibling comment, you can add momentum and step length adjustments to second-order methods in much the same way as in steepest-descent to help escape saddles. The only difference is how the descent direction is chosen for the optimization.

To get a working install it was very easy. I just grabbed the latest FreeBSD 12 snapshot iso and put it on a usb drive and installed like normal. Everything but the wifi works. So I'm using a usb wifi dongle. You need the new (experimental) drm-next code and drivers for suspend and resume support. If your comfortable with a unix command line environment you can get a working dev environment in a couple hours.

So besides the wifi everything is working and iirc someone has been working on a driver for the builtin wifi card and plans on merging it into 12 sometime this year.

But so far I'm loving it, I have ZFS, Dtrace, Sublime3, Firefox57 and xterm, which is an ideal dev environment for me.
Ah full text search...sorry my bad. I have been referring to much simpler indexes. All mostly sub 1GB that fit in memory. For Stackoverflow for example title, URL and tag indexes. Wikipedia - title, URL, categories, geotags. This has been working out somehow for my general use. It has the feeling of working inside a library with card indexes. Lot of decent work can still get done. I agree with your points on why the bigbois are valuable and relevant when it comes to temporal and new constantly changing info. But what I am finding is (probably unique to my usecases) is I have enough info on disk to keep me occupied and productive for long periods totally offline.

Idea for Decentralizing Surveillance
Decentralized Surveillance

Idea:

Public network of security cameras, bodycams worn by people walking down the street, and dashcams of cars streaming video publicly for anyone to watch.

This could tie to a public network of processing nodes which would do face recognition and tracking of people.

...

Motivation:

State surveillance cannot be stopped. Our only option is to free the technology, and allow the public to track those in power the same way they track us.

...ofcourse this would also allow any murderous sociopath to wield the power of mass surveillance, but IMHO it's the price we must pay in the fight against totalitarian states.

PS: to incentivize the building of the physical infrastructure of this network, some kind of reward system could be applied, cryptocurrency based maybe?

Discuss.
The WWW started out as a document sharing platform, and that has proven repeatedly to be a horrible base upon which to build an application platform. There's technological ugliness in the form of kludges like WebAssembly and WebSockets and WebGL that are (badly) re-inventing large parts of the operating system. There's the usability nightmares caused by trying to make a web application imitate a native UI (or worse, trying to use web technologies locally as a UI toolkit a la Electron). The addition of application-oriented features has detracted from the original feature set: gratuitous overuse of JS for stuff that can be done in CSS and HTML is rampant, leading to less responsive sites with worse accessibility and worse battery life. And sooner or later, every attempt to shoehorn a real security model onto the Web has fallen. Every month, the idea of a secure sandbox for running untrusted third-party code looks more and more like a pipe dream.

I fully understand how much the world has invested in making the web into an applications platform, and I recognize that many things of value have been built on that platform. But it's been a fundamentally flawed enterprise from the start, and the pitfalls are getting harder to ignore. We need to start taking seriously again the idea that untrusted code cannot be trusted. We need to stop re-inventing the operating system within the browser just because some programmers are too lazy to port their applications to more than one OS even when there are libraries to abstract away all the differences that don't require a UI redesign. We need to stop sacrificing so much efficiency for the sake of portability that doesn't live up to its purpose.

In order for a web browser suitable for document-oriented usage with limited interactivity to be secure and offer reasonable protections for your privacy, it has to take measures that preclude it from being a good applications platform. That conflict seems irreconcilable.

There is a Haskell implementation and it can really speed up certain types of operations. It's tricky to get the constants low in Haskell, but Kmett seems to have done a pretty good job.

Have you heard of runahead mode by chance? It essentially tried to only speculatively modify the cache. And it gave pretty nice performance....

A recent trend here on HN is complaining about the loss of free-range childhood. Quality of life is dropping in this dimension, but it isn't seen in GDP.
Why are you always angry?
Its not about algorithms. The issue is mentioned in the paper: even if the cache-based side channels are stopped (lets say, by manually clearing any cached memory as soon as its accessed, reducing performance to 0.1% of what it is now) there are other potential side channels like through limited CPU resources. A lot of the "fixes" might just be mitigations, that don't solve the problem entirely, but make it take much longer. Maybe you can cover up enough holes, and make the timers available poor enough that it takes a few hours or days to read a single byte. In other words, mitigations to make things less simple.
I figured this out years ago when I realized servers asked the question “desert tonight?” and have the check indiscreetly in their hand ready to drop on the table. It’s sorta like the neighbors asking you if you’d like to stay a little longer as they are reaching in the closet for your coat.

You're aware that your response here is atypical, and the exact kind of problem that is addressed by behavioural economics, yes? While what you're describing (using new found free time to engage in free leisure activities) is what you see as desirable, it is emphatically not what humans as a population do.

When discussing macro things like GDP, the homo-economicus minimax behavior of the few is inconsequential and has no place in a discussion of what would happen. However much we might not wish it so.
Different cryptos are not compatible with one another. And the value is each is determined by a myriad of intrinsic properties. At the moment I'd say LTC is the most attractive.
You may have conflated a couple of things here that I think might be worthy of clarification.

1. Fires will force animals out of the forest for hunting. It sounds to me that this is the most likely reason for animals learning to spread fire.

2. While I expect sufficiently fierce fires will create plains, much of Australia's native flora is adapted to bush fires, and use it as an opportunity to regenerate. Many plants have seed pods that will only open after being burned. Thus, while much of Australia's bushland is dry, bushland that has been burned recently tends to be quite green and full of life, and many of the trees remain - however much furrier for their fresh growth of leaves.

3. Australian Aborigines (to my best recollection) were known for cycling parts of their territories as part of their nomadic lifestyle, farming somewhere, burning the land as the left, moving on, then returning again later when the land is restored and more plentiful.
