How arrogant.

It is philosophy that gave birth to science is it is today. In fact, "science" was once known as "natural philosophy".

Science is a practical philosophy based on experimentation via the scientific method. It is a philosophy, that is, a way of looking at the world.

> Philosophy these days seems more about finding clever places to hide religious beliefs than it is about explaining the world as it is and answering questions in useful and productive ways.

What about Scientism, the religion that considers science to be the "One, True Way"? It usually incorporates the reductive materialist belief system quite heavily.

And it is Scientism that arrogantly dismisses philosophy as some outmoded system, when in fact, Scientism is ironically a philosophical position itself, a religious one at that.

Meanwhile, philosophy as a whole continues to explore different ways of looking at the world unabated, because it doesn't get side-tracked by ridiculous religious dogma.

Meanwhile, science and the scientific method, those practical philosophical tools that have been very useful in the hands of those who care about positive and beneficial progress for all of mankind, continue marching on proudly, unconcerned by ridiculous religious dogma.
The distinction is visible in the type.
It also doesn't work for adversarial attacks. "Adversarial training" helps somewhat but is still very susceptible to adversarial attacks.

They are welcome to reduce cash back given on their credit cards or other means of increasing profits. Something tells me that the banks and credit card companies will do just fine here with the additional cost of the audit. It's a tiny fraction of their budget, and should absolutely be done, even if it costs double what it saves consumers, as that money is much more valuable to the consumers and the companies can still very much exist, pay employees, and even make a nice profit, despite losing money by auditing regularly to comply with a regulation.
Many will sell some of their stock during a funding round to the new investor to take some money out and blow it on lambos.
Here's Timothy Gowers, a Fields Medalist, on the principle of giving examples first:

(There are also comments by those who disagree.)

I looked at a couple of instances to see how one of my favourite authors, Knuth, explains things. If you look at how he introduces BDDs (Binary Decision Diagrams), it is with an example first: http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~wagner/knuth/fasc1b.pdf#page=8

When he introduces an algorithm for generating all permutations (http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~wagner/knuth/fasc2b.pdf#page=5), he does not work through the entire algorithm on an example case. However, when he mentions “all permutations … in lexicographic order”, he immediately gives an example of what that means.

(In general Knuth is a big fan of the principle of saying everything twice, once informally and once formally; his literate programming paradigm is also an extension of this idea, where first you explain something informally and then write down the code which is supposed to be a precise version of it.)
No, I just made it up but if enough people shared the OP's feelings it would be defined somewhere. The fact that it doesn't exist is evidence that it's not needed.
The non-computer people comment refers to the folks in the video; not this forum.

You also seem to be conflating right to repair vs. right to inspect code because you feel you have the right to do so for some reason (safety, don't like how it works, etc...). You don't have that right just like you don't have the right to walk into an assembly plant to see how your vehicle is assembled.

"The code, safety critical code especially, should be clear and should itself document the quirks of whatever it interacts with"

Agree and it does and we are audited by a 3rd party trained to looked at code written according to functional safety guidelines (ISO26262). Companies, like mine, don't have resources to respond to folks untrained on such matters. And for the non-safety aspects of the code, that's our intellectual property and our competitive advantage.

"Embedded has a culture of punting on abstractions due to the pervasiveness of cross cutting and global concerns"

You have data or proof of this or are you just talking from your personal experience? I assure you we take safety very seriously. Multiple millions are spent, as I said above, on testing to make sure code performs as expected; especially when a 3rd party audit and billions are on the line and, more importantly, the safety of our customers. You're inspection of the same code simply can't compete with the level of testing & auditing. You're really kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

"but 32-bit devices with dynamic allocation performing high level logical processing"
Certain ASIL ratings dictate thou shall not perform dynamic allocations. You don't appear to be up to speed on functional safety matters.

"unreasonable is to force purchasers and users of heavy equipment to blindly trust the software controlling those devices."

Not true, disagree. It's unreasonable to assume we don't take safety seriously and demand to see our code when you can look at any company's functional safety audit records (they are public). To presume a right to change the code because you're not happy with some aspect of some functionality or you're concerned about safety is not your right and no company has the resources to support these requests from the general customer or public base. Moreover, as I already pointed out, it's our IP.

IP type code in this field is heavily guarded. Swath generation, swath acquisition, path planning are all very interesting algorithms that represent a company's IP.
you're an expert in your field, you do the real work that makes money but you're not good at business, now what ?

Attackers profited more than $325,217.07 with new SamSam Ransomware Campaign
Well, except of course that startups, like Dropbox, very often advertise to early non-exec hires that while their current pay is very low, they'll make out like bandits upon IPO or acquiring.

Then the shares of the early employees get diluted like crazy to give those sorts of very late-hires ridiculous compensation, because "they're 'executive'".

So the message is more about broken promises than it is about compensation per se.

His primary business holding, the Dallas Mavericks, has increased in value from $285 million to $1.9 billion [2] (per the latest Forbes estimate). For that investment, he has seen a rate of value increase of about 11% per year. That investment stomps the S&P 500 massively (which was at ~1400 when the acquisition closed).

Or maybe everyone just loves their products, because of their closely linked sales and manufacture process? And their careful use of flash sales and then incremental releases of the same product lets them profit from dropping bill-of-material prices over time so their overall margin is the same as the industry average, even though they sell high-end phones at close to zero margin.

Xiaomi believes that in markets where consumer preferences are hard to predict and change rapidly, “flash sales” can help determine which products are likely to be big hits, driving future production.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bigbangdisruption/2014/04/03/bi...

A big contributor to its profitability is its introduction of new products through online pre-order “flash” sales, which is usually a highly anticipated event in the community. At the phone’s introduction, Xiaomi sets a limit to the number of pre-orders possible, which will often sell out in the first hour or even within minutes. After it has taken its initial set of orders, Xiaomi will then work with Foxconn, its ODM, to build phones. This allows the company to receive advance payment from customers while incurring extremely low inventory costs because products are shipped from Foxconn directly to customers. Xiaomi also has very minimal sales and marketing costs because most advertising is done through its social networks.

and

Xiaomi, on the other hand, at launch, sets the consumer price close to the BOM cost, which ensures price competitiveness. At point 2, BOM cost has already declined, Xiaomi limits the availability of devices, and selected device batches are manufactured at the lower BOM cost. At point 3, mass deliveries start when gross margin is high enough, and volume accelerates as BOM cost decreases. At point 4, when consumer price becomes less competitive, they launch an “S” version of the product by upgrading selected components (e.g. engine) and launch at an even lower price. However, at this point, the BOM price has decreased. Overall, the longer product life gives a better lifetime margin.’

Yeah, but there is no denying that the external structure is helpful and the dedicated office hours can be a real lifesaver.
I attended a university with a strong co-op program, and I personally believe it is the best possible solution. Classes were focused on theory and my three 6-month co-ops were spent working on meaningful software projects at real companies. As a result, I was able to build up a solid background in Computer Science theory, didn't have to deal with the shortcomings of group class projects, and learned how to ship production-worthy code under the mentorship of real, senior engineers (and got paid to boot).

Why more universities don't leverage co-op programs, especially given the exorbitant and rising cost of college tuition in the US, is beyond me.

That’s the point. The point of the clock is to put a frame on a span of nearly unimaginable time and live life now in a way that will be significant in 10,000 years - it is a challenge to do big, great, meaningful things with long term impact.

The clock itself as a mechanical object is an expensive monument and nothing more, it likely won’t last the full 10,000 years of course...

I woudl say you can not have a threadsafe persistence framework. In all the case, you will need to handle the concurrency manually. Can you provide more precise details about how you encountered the crashes?
All those things are a result of the first thing.
It's an interesting article. I'm not sure I agree with everything though, but maybe I do. Let me explain.

Let's compare programming to figure drawing for a minute. What you could do to learn for example is, you could learn the details of some part of the figure, like the eye. Well, that's cool but it's not gonna teach you. That's because the hard part in drawing the figure is dynamic, balance and proportions. It's not so much that the details are "easy" and that they don't require to be learnt, it's that, if your dynamic, balance and proportions are off, the details will be too.
The rest of the quote is "...to create a "backdoor" in any of our products and services."

Which you won't be able to easily find evidence for, even if they did do it.
Feynman was complaining about something different. He was in the middle of working on large-scale projects and got annoyed that his coworkers got completely distracted by irrelevant (but amusing) tangents instead of doing their next task that everyone else was blocking on.

This is a problem of the coworker’s lack of executive planning / control / time management skills, not anything about learning via projects or theorizing. Arguably if the coworker had done a bit more project-based learning he would have better practiced those skills.

Look, if Apple is the adversary and willing to lie under oath then there’s not much anyone could do. They could sign and push crafted firmware to a target device, game over.

The question at hand is, if you trust that iMessage/iCloud works as documented, how does an adversarial third party cloud affect it. So far it looks like iMessage and keychain are still secure end to end encrypted. Apple never had the keys to those to begin with.
Besides what others have already said: word vectors are usually calculated from the context they appear in, the other words surrounding them. The vector representation can be intuitively understood as representation of the context the word appears in. The number of words we take into account for that context is called 'window'.

This has very interesting possibilities: you can complete sentences where a word is missing (you have a context, so you can search for the best matching word vector), use it in text autocorrection tasks, and other classic natural language processing problems.

Learned word representations are also coherent between them, so you can use them to make analogies (the distance from 'Spain' to 'Madrid' is similar to the distance from 'France' to 'Paris'), so they implicitly hold some of the semantic info between words.

It can also be used to find related words. Synonyms, antonyms and related words have similar representations. For example, 'facebook', 'twitter' and 'instagram' have similar vectors (vectors with similar directions). But you can also try with famous musician or band names, tech related terms, etc.

Finally, word vectors, unlike other language models, can store representations for large windows and vocabulary sizes in a few GB, which is another useful property in certain situations, and makes them easy to handle.
You realize Equifax has had pretty much no consequences for their gross negligence, right?
That sounds good until fraud/hacks/mistakes happen and your are the customer that needs them to modify the account.

Example: I got my bank routing/account numbers from a bank in a state in which I had not set up my checking account in but the bank teller put the routing number as if I had creating the account in that state. Thus, my first paycheck went to an empty account and I went to the bank that day and they fixed it for me.

Putting any of my money in a place that is irreversibly is the last place I would put it.

Olia Lialina: Self-portrait
The average NBA player salary is $6 million per year.

In the next few years all of the NBA players combined (~420 players) are set to make more in salary than all the S&P 500 CEOs earn in salary combined.

Should top executives at $10 billion companies (7x the average value of an NBA team) receive compensation on par with professional athletes? How does that not make sense?

The US will spend $10 billion per year compensating several thousand athletes. How much should be spent compensating the people directly responsible for operating businesses that represent trillions of dollars in GDP and tens of millions of employees?

Mediocre middle relief baseball pitchers should make $8 million per year, but execs running billion dollar companies shouldn't? You can argue that baseball players are overpaid, but that's an absurd premise. It's directly representative of the value in the system - tens of trillions in wealth in the stock market, and vast profit generation - and the price of acquiring talent.

I actually agree with this statement and to your credit, a lot of the design work I do follows some of this.

Keep in mind that these are factories on wheels which means not only do we consume a tremendous amount of data, we also generate it. For example, 3D maps are built on the fly to show the customer where product has been sprayed, seeds planted, etc... On these vehicles, it's quite typical to see 1GB Data/hour generated which for an embedded device with no traditional hard drive, that's a lot. Flash memory is susceptible to extreme heat/cold so we have to be creative in this regard too (I can't talk much about this but suffice to say it's challenging).

That being a case of many, there is always a trade-off between performance and what you can reasonable keep separated either within the same PCB or between separate modules.

Thus, as much as I would like to keep separated, you simply can't sometimes. Current state of the art only allows for so much.

You're already coercing people into voting your way. It'll be peanuts to coerce a person who works in the polling areas to jot down who came to ask for a ballot twice.

I also don't appreciate your arrogance in trying to shut down this discussion pre-emptively. Maybe try listening more in the future, you might discover interesting things even if they don't agree with your pre-set ideas.
There are interesting things here to think about, and I think in practice a lot of discussions folks have in building software is philosophical. Another approach: What is/are the type(s) of argument that would convince you that something is useful? We could see if there is such an argument.
So, 'si' does survive in French after all. I never would have guessed.

Perhaps somewhat interestingly, the Scandinavian languages (Danish/Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, etc.) make a similar distinction between plain 'yes' ('ja') and the affirmation of a negation ('jo).

English seems to have largely discarded that subtlety, despite the presumed influence of vikings from the north as well as those from across the channel.

Japanese has the native いえ 'ie' for no, but they also occasionally use the English loanword イエス iesu for yes. I haven't spent much time with Japanese native speakers, but that must have confused someone.

When I was kicking the tires, I looked at a few of the public pages. Anon-based JS was a concern of mine. I thought that having a 0posts.html page with a checkbox on top to filter out JS pages might alleviate some problems - especially for endusers.

Thanks for the clarification on how long the pages stay up.

Of course Apple controls the software. Apple or any manufacturer could push an update overnight that disables all encryption and transmits your data to Donald Trump or whoever they want the next time you enter your passcode. There’s exactly zero “security researcher insight” in observing that.

The question is, if you trust that iOS and iCloud work the way Apple says they do (under oath), how vulnerable are they to an adversarial cloud. They have designed a system to keep your keychain safe under these conditions.

This is a very interesting question. I can understand why people hate AMP and why Google comes of as an 800 lb gorilla flexing his muscles. But then, in absence of Google's force-feeding of AMP, why didn't a free market solution pan out? Why didn't we see successful websites which prioritize excellent user experience over anything else? Or why didn't we see widespread monetization alternatives for publishers than the ad-based revenue model?

It seems consumers really don't want to pay for quality content on the web[1] and/or publishers are inept enough to not being able to offer quality content for which users will fork over money[2]. Efforts like AMP or Chrome ad-blocker, while anti-competitive on one hand, also seem to be loved by users and publishers alike because market ultimately failed to come up with a better alternative.

[1] It raises an interesting question - why are people willing to pay for Netflix / HBO, but not for NYT? I believe the answer lies in exclusivity of the content. I have to pay HBO in order to watch Game of Thrones. I can read about a topic covered by NYT at some other website for free.

For better or worse, I think most of us have made peace with the fact that capital holders can put their money at risk, wait several years, and earn a large return with some probability. For some guy to waltz in a couple months before an IPO and make $35m out of thin air... it's a bit much. Especially when many of us have seen how hard early employees work, staying til late hours and thinking someone will compensate them for their extra effort.
