The article was stating that the employees who exercised their options didn't actually gain any cash. They paid taxes on the "value" of the shares they received (converting from options to actual stock), and not on any real sweet cash money. I think the point is that for most of these people, even if parts of that loss may be recoverable later on (not sure about that), being out $40k - $100k+ on what was a badly misrepresented liklihood stings against execs getting their preference and bonus pool shares. The incentives did not line up, like their press release conflated.
Premiere Pro definitely takes advantage of GPU and CPU very efficiently. Lightroom does not - which is why instead of going for some 18 core i9 7980XE build where it has more cores but a much lower clock per core, i opted for just 6 cores but with a very high clock.
>The foundation raised the possibility of a new sponsor or continuing the competition without any cash prizes.

Can that be read as a possible sign that Google has less cash to spend on such projects nowadays? Are they trying to save the money?
This is a more interesting idea than I would have thought at first. I wonder if it could be used to discover whether any frame-perfect exploits still remain unfound in Doom. I know that there are people who have played the game frame-by-frame in order to identify possible advantages, this is an interesting take on the idea. The one concern I have is this: does it change the enemy logic significantly? Will the enemies still react in roughly the same way?

I also wonder if it would be at all possible to eventually speed it up (maybe not to actual play speed, but faster) while remaining branchless and free of speculation. It might be interesting to see if research in Doom could provide faster and more secure solutions in the real world.

> I feel like future research will focus on finding the line that divides the "tractable" problems from the "intractable" ones.

My gut feeling is there is no "tractable" line. All subsets of problems are tractable.

Via analogy, think of auto-encoders or dimensional reduction. You may have 500^2 dimensions representing each pixel in an image recognition task. Representing all of that data in a lower dimensional space is impossible via pigeonhole. But if you only feed your net the subset of images of cats (or dogs, or only images commonly taken on cameras) it's actually a much smaller space and it can be represented efficiently in lower dimensions. And you can take any subset and it will have structure and because it has structure it can be represented more efficiently and solved efficiently. The fact that we're only interested in a subset of the problem space it what makes it efficient for us to solve.

Even if we generated "random" pixels, but used a method to only generate a subset of that noise (ie gave it structure), then we'd be able to reduce dimensions on it.

There is no line of portion of the space that's tractable or not, it's the fact we're working with a structured portion of the space that always makes it tractable.

I think it will be phenomenal when it's finally common place, but I think the comment they're making is "It's amazing that there's this think called compression and it works on, and works well on just about anything we want to compress. I understand theoretically it should make some things larger, but just about everything I try to compress it makes smaller!" Of course, it does because the only things we want to compress are things that have enough inherent structure that we want to save and share them. If all we were interested in were just the output of a random number generator (which wouldn't compress), then we'd never want to compress it anyway.

It's phenomenal actually. The only problems it works on are the problems we want to solve. Because the problems we want to solve have structure in them, they follow some rules (which is why we care about them to begin with).
Step 1. Be wealthy :P

I am always enamored with the simplicity of one's living space being directly proportional to wealth. I try hard to not have much stuff, but my living options are seemingly always going to be working class style places with pretty much the antithesis of what is apparent in this photo.

Of course the camera lies, and I shouldn't compare my insides to some else's outsides. There's probably a new puppy being paper trained just behind the camera, or a bunch of pocket change and random pens in a pile usually on that desk, but I do lament that I may never have such a simple, clean, and uncluttered living space. The spaces I may ever have will have things like unvaulted ceilings, windowsills, trim, standard door size passages between rooms, probably carpet heh...

I do wonder if such things prevent clarity of thought.

I've definitely left companies and not managers before. To be fair it's usually because my manager's manager's manager was an asshole who thought 1% and an attaboy would be enough to keep people when our rent had gone up 7% and neighboring companies we're offering 50% more. Also to be fair, my managers were good enough that I stayed 6 months longer than I would have with even a neutral manager
The parent's comment is valuable overall, but nextstep is quite correctly pointing out that that particular observation is phrased in absurd terms. You know how people joking referly to something that was a recent fad as being "so 2016"? That was two years ago. Are Swiss startups hopeless because they're still focused on "millennial engagement" (so 2016) instead of "viral learning" or "augmented reality talent management"? (Yes, this apparently is a thing.)
I don't think that Premier does really take advantage of video cards. I saw a video where they had switched a really old GTX 660 vs a 1080ti and the render time was not changed between them.

that does away with the idea of insurance. what if your genes said that you were 15% more likely to get cancer and all the insurance companies won't accept you?

Disabled the administrative confirmation popup e.g. [0]. Kinda like Windows' weaker version of sudo.

When UAC is disabled, anything can run as administrative, but without confirmation or any real sign that it is, so a bit of a risk. Though not quite on the level of running Mac or Linux as root (Windows has another higher level priority, System), it is close to it.

IIRC it also disables some security features of Edge, if you use that. It might also disable some security features in Office, which is a bit more of a concern.

That's the thing, they can easily fit into the normal range of human behavior, even in bipolar I. Popculture puts out this image that bipolar people are bonkers crazy and that manic/hypomanic episodes are extremely noticeable, dramatic, and also obviously destructive. The reality is that, especially with bipolar II, things can be much more nuanced and subtle. Hypomania can manifest as being really interested in something, working on projects, and just being generally productive, maybe while staying up late a few nights in a row, or even just one. It can be as simple as progressing through a challenging but fun video game. And the risk taking and impulsiveness aspects might seem perfectly normal as well. It might just mean that you buy that thing on amazon that you've been putting off for a few months because you didn't really need it. That can make it hard for people to see their behavior as in any way "abnormal".

However, it's still incredibly important to understand whether or not you have these behavioral changes because they can often have a negative impact on your life if you don't understand them and develop coping skills for them. Your behavioral controls might be calibrated to who you are day to day rather than who you are when you're hypomanic. And that can lead to a lot of problems, spending too much money, taking irrational risks, etc. Being able to step back and realize that your feelings and impressions are being filtered by basically a mood altering state (just as you'd realize that you act differently when drunk and need to compensate for that) will help you navigate those behaviors better and be able to retain your ability to act rationally and in your own future best interests.
Given at least some of these aircraft have reached their usable lifecycle and presumably those stressed parts can't go back into similar aircraft at that point, why aren't the materials being recycled more?

Is it too costly to recycle these alloys? One might think that if aluminum drink cans are worthwhile recycling, more massive aircraft parts would also be profitable to recycle.

A lot of the photos are great! And a lot of them..meh. Which is fine! I'm no star shooter, and far be it from me to judge someone wanting to show off their holiday. But he's spent an inordinate amount of time editing quite a bit of photos that surely could be left on the hard drive, or simply given a batch auto-touch-up by Lightroom in a matter of hours. And it's even stranger that the hobby would drive him to such a monumental and costly upgrade.

For things like manuals, data books and those that are no longer sold I just search Google or archive.org for pdf copies.

For other commercial books, the easiest thing is something like 1DollarScan.com which will tear open the book bindings and scan for you.

Other approaches that worked in the past include 1) knew a family member who worked in a copy store where I could play with a fast scanner. 2) Some publishers like Oreilly's in the past let you get pdf copies for free or nominal price if you provide proof that you bought a paper copy. 3) I have scanner at home for small books or documents but it is usually too much manual work.

But largely over the past 5+ years, I only buy DRM free pdf books. Many of the technical book publishers have sales throughout the year on their website where you can buy books at steep discount. I'm just a pdf book packrat :)

What if disclosure was entirely voluntary? You can choose to get a quote provided by Google that's informed by it's knowledge of every time you masturbated in the past 6 months, and you can choose to take it after comparing to other insurance companies without that info.

Some people could potentially get very good deals. But that'd drive costs among the remaining pool higher, until eventually Google insures everyone with its perfect knowledge quote.

And even if you don't take them up on the offer, eventually it'd end up driving your rates sky high as you'd be grouped with all the people Google knows masturbates while driving their car. The only way to avoid that kind of market in the long term is government regulation and mandates.

Can you elaborate or point to any references on how this works? Does this essentially mean if I have some amount of options I want to exercise, and the combined total of that + my income is <$500k, I don't need to pay taxes on the options at all?
It’s a package deal: cash, lottery tickets, skills, connections.

A good reason to stay would be a lot of cash. Or modest cash but a lot skill-learning and/or connection building to open more doors for you next year. Subpar cash plus lottery tickets is not a good reason to stay.

There are some unique skills you can only pick up at startups, namely: 1) running a startup skill, learned from founders 2) running entire product rather than one small piece (larger companies will not let you run the whole product until you “prove” yourself) 3) understanding fundamentals of business, which will slow you to pick better startups to work for, or to make one.

I had a great manager at my last job but left because the role wasn't the right risk/reward profile I was looking for.
And this observation is downvoted because? It's just stating obviously true facts as far as I can tell.

edit And then I get downvoted for sticking my neck out. Let me break the parent post down.

It asserts that charging genders equally will shift more burden to women. This is clearly true because premiums are higher for men because we have more accidents (so much for all the female driver jokes).

It also asserts women were a previously disadvantaged class. Also clearly true.

So to the downvoters out there, you might have found something disagreeable about the parent post, but you're wrong and he's right.

> Having a Hotmail account is a symptom of a problem which could lead to higher risk, but it is judging that symptom as if it is a cause which leads to risk.

No, it's not. Insurance is not about establishing causality. Insurance is about assessing risk. If you are correctly assessing risk via proxy signals, you are still correctly predicting the losses that will have to be covered by your insurance, it's completely irrelevant how the losses are causally connected to the signals that you use for the risk assessment. If careless people are more likely to both cause accidents and to have hotmail accounts, then use of a hotmail account does correctly predict an increased risk.

> Its exactly similar to the supposition that black people statistically commit more crime, and thus should pre-emptively receive harsher bail or be profiled.

No, insurance is not about influencing people, it is about assessing risk. Insurance companies ultimately don't care about how much losses they have to cover, they only care about pricing their premiums such that they do have the money to pay for it. Insurance companies don't raise premiums to incentivize people to reduce risk. Insurance companies raise premiums because there are more losses to cover where the risk is higher. That that might also sometimes incentivize people to reduce risk is a side effect, but not an intention of the insurer.
Yes, it is obvious, hence my comment. Using correlation as a stand-in for causation is stupid.
That is a good question, and it was the subject of a paper in 2007 (http://www.phinix.net/services/Recycling/Recycling_Aluminum_...) which basically says that aircraft alloys have a lot of impurities to improve their toughness which makes it harder to recycle them into something useful.

UAC limits software to user privileges, even if you're running an administrator account. If you're running an administrator account, you just click YES in a popup to grant elevated privileges when they're requested. If you're running a user account, you enter an administrator password. Disabling UAC lets anything you run use administrator privileges without alerting you. Similar to running a Linux box as root. It's a really stupid thing to disable.

We've been processing orders for a year and a half in stealth with many clients. So we have a lot of data.

The key: everyone is focused on large data sets (breadth of data). We have some of that, but not nearly as much as large processors. We have, however, much more depth (sometimes 10X-20X as much). This allows us to achieve high accuracy in short amounts of time. Often times we'll lose money in the beginning to ensure high approval rates and, in essence, pay for learning data.

Sorry, I should have phrased it better, you don't have to have the latest and greatest video card for Premiere. But, yes, you are correct, having GPU acceleration does work.

Those would be some very significant hurdles to jump over if I was to use it for 100% of my work too.
I'd argue that something like k8s is a huge investment for startups and is more of a time waster than anything else. I have a friend that worked at a startup that used Terraform to deploy their stuff, and the whole thing was overkill given that they literally just compiled a binary and put it on a single host. Instead, the friend just wrestled with the Terraform based build process and complained about learning the tool instead of getting stuff done.
