Yes, you can access raw memory and flip bits to modify a private member of an object (and it migth even be defined, not too sure about that thou). But I don't find that an valid argument for the statement that you can't do abstractions in c++. That's just not something people do.

The c++ version of your example would be, if I understood your code correctly, to take an std::vector as an constructor parameter, copy it to an private field and sort it.

Be careful: this post just reeks of confirmation bias. Correlation (association) does not imply causation and it’s tantalizingly attractive to want to draw conclusions that confirm the way we think about the world.

I, personally (for example), would not generally assume neuroticism is associated with risk-aversion. In my experience risk aversion (or tolerance) tends to be completely decoupled from other traits.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, and it would equally be a fallacy to believe my anecdotal experience is anything more than an anecdote, but just be careful jumping to conclusions.
The Koch Brothers originally were outspoken opponents of Trump. But like many Republicans, they seem to see him as a "useful idiot" as long as he can get their policies passed.

I'm making no judgement - here at least - on whether Trump is an idiot or not.
> Because unearned income is a lot harder to make.

You realize that 50k salary is rather close to the median individual income in the US, right? Why should the fact that you've got 800k making money for you mean that you should be taxed less than someone that earned their 50k through wages and tips?

Edit: Another way to think about it: Both the investor and the wage earner added value to their respective markets which was valued by their markets at 50k over the year. Why should one of these market actors be taxed lower than the other?
Quantum computers do not break "all known practically useful cryptography".

For symmetric crypto, some schemes will have to be dropped, and others will require larger keys. But we can (for example) just keep right on using AES 256.

For asymmetric crypto, we'll have to switch to some new schemes, but those exist (though I don't know of any current software using them). For example:

This is a conclusion you might reach if you're not familiar with the terminology the MIT researcher used. Here's an analogy - suppose a professor of engineering is looking at a new car from a promising startup, and discovers that the car uses banana peels as brake pads. (this is about as irresponsible and naive as rolling your own crypto.)

Prof: I've noticed that you're using a non-standard brakepad material, which functions very poorly for stopping the motion of the car. You should fix this.

Startup: That's fine, these peels are organic and eco friendly, and they're safe because I modelled them in the same shape and size as normal brake pads.
To encode 100 logical error-corrected qubits, you need on the order of 100K to 1M physical qubits. People mix up the two types all the time.
This is litterally dehumanization. "Big cities" don't have money or control the media or have outsize power. They have none of those things. They aren't the type of entities capable of having those things. Some people within them might, but so what? Why should other people have their votes devalued because they happen to share a geographic area with the rich and influential? That entire notion is at odds with the fundamental precept of individualism. You can throw a lot of obscuring chaff up to try to avoid that, but the system we have is no different than if people got disproportionate political representation on the basis of the color of their skin or the profession they worked in. That's corporatism, not democracy.

We have the system have. It's old. It was a great leap forward in a time when much of the world still had monarchies, but is no longer state of the art. It's not unpatriotic to acknowledge that. Love of one's country doesn't require being blind to its flaws.
I think you are now confirming what I was saying. The attacker uses a gadget in libc (or any other code) to cause side effects that are effective for reading memory within the process's address space.

Since each process has its own address space, this does not allow process A to read memory from process B's address space. For this to happen, process A (the attacker) would need to interact with process B to cause the speculation to happen within process B. Or, as stated in the spectre paper:

> Drawing from return- oriented programming (ROP) [33], in this method the attacker chooses a gadget from the address space of the victim and influences the victim to execute the gadget speculatively.

Speculation performed within process A (my web browser) doesn't give you access to the data within process B (ssh-agent).

Maybe I misunderstood the intent of your sentence that I initially quoted.

How Black Panther asks us to examine who we are to one another
Heh, my first reaction was the same as mtgx. Look at the dictators/semi-dictators/wannabe-dictators in major countries around the world now:

1. USA - Trump

2. Turkey - Erdogen

3. Russia - Putin

4. India - Modi

Meanwhile Macron won a highly contested race in France against a far right candidate, Merkel did something similar.

When the democracies in the world are in such disarray and can't band together to collectively act as a check on authoritarianism, it emboldens the latter.

While you are thinking that "we" shouldn't allow "them" to amass that type of wealth, remember that the average household income in the United States is $60,0000 a year. If you are an average experienced developer in a major city in the US - especially if you are part of a dual income household -you are probably in the 85-90th percentile.

Meaning when people start voting in policies that "tax the rich", you will probably be considered one of "them" by the average working class American.

Look no further than the new tax code that basically hurt the "rich" in places like CA and NY.

The US has the best cancer and heart disease survival rates in the world. But spending levels are still not commensurate with indicators.

One possible explanation is that a lot of money is spent on healthcare toward the end of life, and much of it is just chasing a sliver of hope. In a system where people spend according to their priorities, instead of to improve some statistical indicator of system-wide efficacy, 'irrational' spending like this could be much higher in the US.
What I stated was that there isn't even a sound/reasoned example as to how a it would escape its bounds unless purposely authored to and even then you run into the scenario of human limits (its creator). Also, having no understanding on how AGI is structured, it is quite foolish to talk about bound leaping in the traditional sense of tech which is mainly associated with computer viruses that are purposely written for that sole purpose. There's nothing to even suggest you can purposely author AGI in such a fashion. So...

> How would it start, etc.

There has been no credible framing on how it would even start. As such, it's a null point of discussion.

> If you can't define it, you can't analyze it sort of thing.

With no definition, you can 'attempt' to analyze it and you'll likely be horribly off the mark, wasting tons of resources, and likely produce something that has no bearing on the real thing. Instead of admitting this, it's like people put full faith in these efforts being sound when the reality is the exact opposite. Why engage in this, unless your aim is profit/notoriety, when you could be working on the actual problem? Define intelligence [first]. Time to be honest with oneself. Time to stop projecting ones shortcomings on others. Time to stop using fear/uncertainty/doubt to obscure one's true intent. Time to stop pushing the disinformation cloud. Time for TRUE intelligence.
Then prices include the weight, not the nominal value. Also, it's a lot of effort. You can also lower the content of gold in coins, but the process of remaking existing coins would be quite expensive.

Per-capita light use does increase. In order for Jevon's paradox to apply, per capita energy use would have to increase more than the decrease from improved efficiency. So if LEDs are ten times more efficient, per capita light use would have to increase by 10+ times for Jevon's to apply.

Putting it another way, Jevon's is just an example of the rebound effect where more energy is used after the efficiency improvement than before. It can happen, but it's not very common.

If people were to switch to LEDs and their energy consumption dropped to a tenth of what it was, they could triple the number of lights in their house, leave those lights on 24/7/365 (as opposed to for 8 hours a day), and still be using less energy than with incandescents. That's the rebound effect. If they quadruple the number of lights and triple the time those lights are on, they would use more energy than they did before the switch to LEDs. That's Jevon's paradox.
I answered this in one of my first interviews with, "My greatest weakness is my inability to focus on things for an extended period of time." The interviewer told me never to do that, but appreciated my candor and extended an offer, though I didn't take the job.

I few weeks ago, after a long history of purchasing Samsung phones (S4, S6, s7 edge plus) because of the good hardware, I got an S8+ after my S7e+ abandoned me. This was the turning point where I decided I could no longer accept such awful software experience. Now there is even a physical button for their garbage assistant. The Android notifications are broken in favor of small things that do not allow you to read the message from Whatsapp or Telegram or whatever, and so forth. I returned the S8+ and switched to a Google Pixel 2 XL and it is the best phone I've ever had. Samsung needs to get its shit together and understand that even if in their fantasy world where the management live they want to compete on services, it is totally impossible and actually they are just destroying the Android experience. If it was not for the software approach Samsung takes, I bet we could have far less Apple iPhone users.
They don't mention if it is splash proof and whether it is toast if you ever drop it, but it looks nice. :-)

Suppose that x is the true time the operation takes. Then suppose that R is a random variable distributed uniformly on [0, 1000]. If I take a sample I will get values following the distribution x + R.

Then we calculate the sample mean of this distribution, X. Keep in mind that I can then set the number of samples to take to achieve my desired accuracy and confidence.

Then we look at the mean of the distribution x + R?

E(x + R) = E(x) + E(R) = x + E(R) = x + 500

So therefore the true running time is recoverable by taking X - 500.
One thing I'm not understanding here; don't most lenses (and by extension cameras) have adjustable apertures? What is so special about having a F1.4 vs. F2.4 apertures available to the camera? Is it because they can both fire at the same time and compose the two exposures?
I haven't touched Turbolinks since the the first version(at one point there was a rewrite if I recall), but I'm pretty sure it would only replace the body and not reinsert the head content, thus meaning that the existing scripts continue to run without being "rebooted" or downloaded again. Plus there's a slight benefit from not building a new DOM.

The downside is that all your scripts can't depend directly on 'DOMContentLoaded' or jQuery.ready. This isn't much of a problem if you're using a framework where navigation is abstracted away anyway, but third-party software can still get messed up.

I was surprised that the extension didn't interfere with my Ember.js app, but then disappointed when it prevented Leaflet from working across navigations. I honestly don't know why that would be the case since my app already does its own navigation without page reloads.

There are plenty of educational options. Most of the educational system is free, you get financial support while using it, and some paid vocational courses are free to the unemployed.

But it entirely misses the point: Those stuck are too depressed to help themselves. Depression is very difficult to work with.

Furthermore, the stand-by situation of being stuck in unemployment is just as good as a low-end job. In other words, nothing about the situation provides incentive to change it, especially not considering that those there have no motivation to help themselves.

The workshy is an entirely different case. Those can't be helped as long as the safety net is in place. They would probably help cure themselves if the safety net wasn't there, but removing it would harm others.

They might be able to rapidly react to people's concern, but let's not forget that this is a concern only when an issue ignites concern for a sufficiently large number of people, and usually when the issue is dire enough to force them to act, or incite anger in them.

Often times the reactions are short term and not very good solutions either. See China's economic policies after 2008 that helped keep the economy afloat but have caused much concern from many well-known economists.

Let me just say that personally I think China has done a fantastic job of industrializing rapidly, lifting millions from poverty and destitution. I have serious concerns about the same ideas working to push China into the future though; which is why its very important to foster creativity and allow dissent even though its uncomfortable for those in power.

One thing that often comes to mind is how upto the 17th century Chines economy was the biggest and its military and Naval might were unparalleled in the history of the world (except perhaps the Romans before). Then an inward focused policy of sealing the country against contact with the outside weakened the country into destitution. So bad political policies have real consequences and this news makes me much more concerned that they will be repeated.

For superconducting qubits, without error correction, each operation takes tens of nanoseconds.

With error correction... it depends how many spare qubits you have. All the non-trivial operations are done by "magic state distillation", where you produce special states in one part of the computer then consume them to perform the operation elsewhere. The more qubits you have, the more space you can allocate to magic state factories.

For example, a 32-bit addition can be done with 124 |T> states [1]. If you have N qubits allocated to factories then you can expect to get about 100N magic states per second. So if you have a tiny computer with 20 qubits dedicated to a factory, then a single addition will take over half a second. But if you can spare 2000 qubits for factories (about the same amount of qubits you'd need to store the problem in the first place) then you'd be producing T-states at 200KHz and 32-bit-adding at 1600Hz.

Shor's algorithm is, effectively, a single modular exponentiation. Performing an N-bit modular exponentiation requires something like 4N^3 |T> states. So 1024^3*4/200KHz = 6 hours to a factor a 1024 bit key, assuming 2000 qubits on factories and that the other rough numbers are close.

> I've also had this same style of manager become a rate limiting bottleneck by forcing _all_ cross-team decision making to route through him.

I've seen that work incredibly well when the manager in question did keep up on his technical skills.

It can result in a very well designed and consistent system.

It also burned out the dev manager in question after two and a half years.

A strong talented leader can make a huge difference. Applying the lessons of the past means a lot of engineering mistakes can be avoided.

Also, at some point, decisions do have to be made. There will be a disagreement on the team about a direction to take, and having a benevolent dictatorship becomes very useful. Especially in a corporate setting where forking and doing both paths can be disastrous (both paths get underfunded and fail), or just not viable.

It's more like "eval" in the stack frame you select. This added to the fact Tcl, like Lisp, has the same form for all the commands, allow to do anything you could conceive and it will look like if it's part of the language. For instance you can do a looping construct that works in a different way depending on the calling function name or state or any other crazy stuff like that.
