Couple of notes:

- I do major.minor.yy-mm-dd versioning, so this handles that automatically

- shell is for dropping you into a prompt with your present directory mapped to the working directory. I find this super helpful for debugging and testing containers

- run is for testing your CMD and entrypoint scripts
I wonder how the technique described in the article would compare to working with DSP chips? Say you have two continuous streams of numbers and want to add them. So, the processor is always on, it's constantly receiving numbers and adding them, and there is no "race to idle"; it's more a matter of power consumption and response time.

Nit pick: shouldn't marginal utility be the first derivative of total utility? That bend in the marginal utility near "ventriloquist" looks wrong to me given the total utility shown.
Well if you ever get a chance to do this for Indonesian (uses the roman alphabet), I'll deff use the app or at least be willing to try.

As someone living in Indonesia for about two years who has tried other apps, buying grade school books, nothing is interesting to me once the novelty wears off, and my incentives for learning more than navigational stuff and greetings is pretty much nil.
Stanford has made $billions from IP developed by students and faculty, such as Google and others that followed, but it is unwilling to spend some of it to pay for faculty to attract the next generation of students. The school is eating its seed corn.
> Half the time, a bit sampled from the first input is transferred to the output; otherwise a bit from the second input is used, effectively averaging the two inputs. The circuit that accomplishes this sampling is again a very rudimentary one, called a multiplexer. With it, addition becomes very easy.

A multiplexer with a magic random input? If you merely alternate, then you have a non-i.i.d. sequence, and your next gate can mess up.
Indeed. Depending on who does the educating, it can be a silver bullet to the student’s head!

When the Japanese start naming these carriers things like Kaga, Akagi, Hiryū, and Sōryū, then it will really be time to worry :) (1)

But seriously, given all of the provocations by North Korea and China, this should be expected and may even provide deterrence against others' destabilizing moves in the region. The Japanese haven't displayed any aggressive policies since 1945.

I've generally had to only do this for more-or-less stand alone webservices, but there's nothing preventing making extra targets for setting up networks. To date, I'm still using docker compose for that.

I started doing makefiles as a reaction to having a bunch of bash scripts cluttering up my directory. More or less just a collection of useful commands. But as I continue to do this, I find it encourages making consistent build routines/versioning. Also, being able to set up dependencies ( like "run relies on build") can also be helpful. Finally, variable substitution is useful for versioning.

I think what makes makefiles great are you can do as much or as little as you want with them. I put an example of a common one in another reply.

Am I correct in assuming you are not a US citizen nor do you have assets in the US? But the investor and debt holders are in the US? If all of this is true, effectively, I have a hard time imagining anyone pursuing you legally. Just too expensive.

There are a lot of other questions that come into play here - for example, is the angel investor a shareholder or do they have some sort of convertible security?

Startups go out of business all the time - the vast majority do. Your investor should know that, as should you debt holders.

This should be a simple process, but it seems like it's been dragged out way beyond what you should have to do with.

I'm a bit nervous that the investor's lawyers did your corporate documentation and you don't have it. I'm concerned that you may have been taken advantage of.

I would write the investor's lawyer and request copies of the documentation. He cannot withhold it because you didn't pay some legal bill.

If you want to take the risk, just send the investor a notice that you are quitting any position you have (director/officer/employee) of the company. And then just forget the whole thing.

If you want to mitigate risk, I'd find a lawyer who works with startups who can hopefully help you navigate this in a cost-efficient way.

It is up to Japan to decide to do this or not, the USA is already ok with article 9 repeal and have even encouraged it. It probably won’t happen until North Korea and China rattle their sabers more.
How the “I cut, you choose” method of redistricting could fix a broken system
I decided to comment after seeing a number of negative comments here. I went through the process a it was a positive experience for me. I ended up interviewing at 5-6 places and didn't receive an offer. I liked getting the interview feedback. The time saved in skipping the usual application process seemed worthwhile to me ( You spend 2(?) hours on the triplebyte interview. Then a short introducutory call with each company you are matched and the onsite interview). My only complaint was that I was looking for larger and my matches were all 5-50 employee companies. I guess not many large firm are using them. Overall I would recommend triplebyte for anyone who is interested in startups and who currently in a full time job search.
A natural noise process (e.g. thermal) with a variable threshold could do it. PRNGs spend a lot of effort on statistical properties that may not matter for this use case. You absolutely must, however, guarantee the correct bias, so such a noise process would need to be tightly controlled, likely temperature controlled.
Yup, my company had a clause that I could never talk bad about them in one contract. I refused to sign as I don't give away civil liberties for money. What amazed me was that almost no one else even bothered to read it before signing.

It’s ~14%. Not a significant sum, but still better than nothing.
The idea is noble, certainly, but foolish in practice as evidenced by their actually having armed forces disguised as self defence forces. Now, of course to keep up appearances, it does hamstring them --but as further evidenced by this "helicopter destroyer" it's more of appearances --it's like whaling but calling the whaling "cetacean research" rather than just whaling.

In the USA, homosexuals earned legal rights because they were forced out of hiding by violent police, leading them to fight back, win allies, and secure rights. Having secrecy also forces secrecy, weakening political power. It's a bloody war for sure, but a winnable war with long-term improvement.

A factor of 1000x.

How do I get this number? Bitcoin mining. Compare the hashes per watt of a CPU to the hashes per watt on an ASIC. The difference can be entirely attributed to the efficiency of the CPU circuit design. It is nearly impossible to design better ASIC's because the specification for SHA256 practically is the circuit design.

This is a really bad catchphrase by the bcash crowd because it sets up bcash as “electronic cash” vs btc “store of value”, when bcash is actually both, as in Satoshi’s vision. Shame bcash is spearheaded by such an untrustworthy team. Their argument is in the right but held back by poor tactics.

Here's the problem. The checksum is usually on the same page the binary is located. Which pretty much defeats the purpose.

Haha. I also see many such demands being made for small open-source projects (1-2 person(s) in their free time, not company funded)

Seems humans having a tough time these days. Elephants better at directions, goldfish have a longer attention span, and orcas are better at mimicking speech.

It's likely that computing with random pulses would increase power. That's because the vast majority of power in processors today is spent transferring information, not computing arithmetic operations. The actual arithmetic operations are very cheap energy-wise compared to the cost of reading and writing data from memory, as well as sending it around the chip.

The cost of moving data is proportional to the number of toggles you have to push through the wire. And with this representation, the number of toggles is immense. Bill Dally noted at SysML the other week that this kind of data format is almost the worst possible number format you could construct, if you care about power, because on average there must be lots of toggles.

It's too bad the article doesn't include any comparisons to see why the authors believe this is a good idea. The neuromorphic story is getting a little threadbare at this point, without data to back it up.
Second Spectrum has supplanted SportsVU for tracking, and is also the generator for all the advanced metrics that are now provided for the NBA as well as ESPN.
We get it, you really dislike unions and think that all union members are scum without any ethics. Before you try to walk your comment back, this is a pretty straightforward summation of what you just said. I think you're clearly overlooking the wide amount of abuses being done against employees, especially in the tech sector. How many times have you heard of a "salaried" employee being asked/forced to work 100 hour weeks end on end for months without extra compensation for some pie in the sky promise of stock options that get diluted with every new employee or stock offering? How many CEOs that drive companies into the ground but still get golden parachutes for laying off workers have you heard about. The power imbalance isn't with the ineffectual unions, it's with the corporations and owners that engage in rent seeking behavior.

I can only speak for what I saw done first-hand. Some guys used their own shanks/shivs/whatever you want to call it, basically any old piece of metal. This was obviously done in their cells on their own. Much more frequently [and out in the open] though was guys using the plastic butter "knives" that came in the dinner trays (think KFC, individually wrapped sets of 1 plastic spork, 1 wetnap, and 1 plastic butter knife with a kinda serrated edge - though still dull as all hell). For doing the divots we used the end-tip of the long piece on the cap of a typical old-school style Bic pen - this worked extremely well and quick.

You're talking about a theoretical implementation of a filesystem with a back-end in a relational database. The question is only whether the information is available.

Say directories map to databases and files map to tables and views. You can create new tables and views by either writing data or an appropriate query. Views and result files would be read-only while data files would be writable. Writing to a data file would be done with a query which modifies the table and the result could be retrieved by then reading the file -- the modification time would be the time of the last update which is known.

Views and queries could be cached results from the last time they were ran which could be updated/rerun by touching them or they could be dynamic and update whenever a table they reference is updated.
