Of course, because the nets we're talking about are really, really tiny.

As you can see for yourself in figure [1]c, the memristor net used in that paper has only 15 units (yes, fifteen): five memristors in the "reservoir" and 10 output neurons. The entire net is one linear transformation followed by a SoftMax, with a total of 5 × 10 = 50 parameters.

It's an impressive result that only hints at the things that will be possible when we have nets with millions or billions of memristor units.

Yup; pretty much any top executive at a public company actually. E-mail is only used in those instances where you want a paper trail.

With the personal liability placed on executives under SOX, many simply do it out of personal protection. One of the unintended consequences of SOX that has ironically lead to less transparency.

Yes, of course. People from outside the city come to the city by car to buy goods and offer their services because mass transit is not available or not practical. It's impossible to make mass transit practical for everyone.
Same difference with nuclear power. Starting and stopping nuke plants is very expensive/inefficient, yet energy demand is fluctuating wildy. That's why there is an international network for transmitting energy.

One example is French excess nuclear energy in the summer (in central Europe AC are very uncommon, so energy demand is low when it's hot): Germany can more easily switch off renewable plants and import French nuclear power, yet still is a net exporter.

Your first sentence confuses me. What issues did I cite? Why are you phrasing this as a rebuttal to my post when your content seems to not contradict at all?

In any case, it is good to see static typing support among dynamic languages. Hopefully that will help more people try Go. I have yet to find another programming language that makes application development so holistically easy.

If you are still undecided to go static or not, I would recommend checking out Grav. We were almost going for a static generator for our blog (we were between Hugo and Jekyll) when I stumbled into Grav. It's not static but it is flat-file based, which as it turns out gave to us exactly what we needed, a serverless solution (all your posts are just markdown files and all your settings are yaml files) with powerful templating options.

EDIT: typos
To push back on this point a little bit, I think we agree that a map is one of the most useful things you can have but disagree on what the right type of map is.

While I'm not anti-abstraction, I think people often impose poorly chosen high-level abstractions on top of messy lower-level components (akkartik calls this Authoritarian High Modernism in a comment (https://lobste.rs/s/gtxi5y/nobody_s_just_reading_your_code_h...) on Lobsters). This approach leaves readers having to understand a bad abstraction and its internals, a map, its territory, and inconsistencies between the two.

As I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong), you want people to do the work to find better high-level abstractions. I agree that it would be good if we could do this more often. I just also think we can find other ways to give people maps that work with our existing, messy codebases that don't have good, minimal abstractions already.
That simply means some solutions are more probable than others, but there is a very long tail. Or at least as extrapolated from computer simulations.

So let's take a different approach: Let's find a better solution for individual transportation that doesn't require human labor (e.g. pedaling) and offers the same benefits (ability to comfortably make 500 km per working day, for example - that's average daily mileage of a taxi driver).
Yes, agreed.

The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World by Iain McGilchrist

If you want to read a book that has the potential of radically changing your perspective of things, give this a shot.
From reading it several times it does not appear that authors first language is English and it could very well be that either his understanding of the GPL is somewhat lacking or that he is not capable of wording his stance in a clear way. The technical parts are all very lucid but the rest is not. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt until there is a product that can be evaluated.
Look, I'll be honest. I didn't read a book.

But I don't want to debate its title, instead its reductionist view of people nothing more as vehicles for the immortal DNA.

Anyway here is the part that I was referencing:

The self-selecting process predicted by the selfish-gene model
becomes quickly skewed when correlations in reproduction
exist which give rise to less than complete mixing of alleles
in the gene pool. This may occur through several mechanisms,
including mate selection and partial geographic isolation.

The gene-centered view, Dr. Bar-Yam points out, can be
applied directly only to populations in which sexual
reproduction causes complete allelic mixing. (Such
populations are called "panmictic" in biology.)

Many organisms are part of populations that do not
satisfy this condition. Thus, the gene-centered view and
the concept of the "selfish gene" does not describe the
dynamics of evolution, Dr. Bar-Yam concludes.

So how does that stop economic growth of areas outside of the city? Sounds like it would ignite economic growth as smaller cities have to create their own services.
AWS, mostly.
On my servers I have simple shell scripts that have functions for pulling and running Docker images.
Locally I use rake to build and push Docker images. Finally, Rake executes the deploy script on the server via ssh which pulls and runs the new images.

It's not fancy like dokku (or even Docker Compose), but it's composed of very minor pieces that are easy to debug and extend.

Not knowing if Docker Compose has executed successfully, and if I'm on the newest image or not, grew to be an extra todo in my checklist when debugging my applications.
The thing about code reading for me is you have to have decent tooling.

It's pointless reading code in Github, especially for a codebase you are not familiar with, you need to get the codebase open in an IDE to be able to dive in quickly and back again to build the map out in your head. I don't think you can read a portion of code from top to bottom without having tooling....unless the piece of code is really short and just one or two files

If it was better to have these services in the area outside the city, they'd already exist. These areas are too sparsely populated for these services to practically exist, and the ones that already exist depend on car traffic from the cities that would cease to exist if it was impractical to own a car in the city.

It's why (in theory) I love Go; as opposed to the JS hell as mentioned by another commenter, it has a lot more emphasis on consistency and, in a way, predictability, so there's less surprises and distractions (e.g. code style) when you browse other people's code. Also no "black box" dependencies (usually), you pull every lib from source and have it on your machine.

You claim things without being knowledgeable of the matter. For certain businesses that require door to door contact there are exceptions. You don't know the plans with regarding alternative means of transportation.
Sure. It's still a game of chance. However, evolution is not random in the purest sense. Evolution itself skews the distribution of the kind of mutations you see.

For example: on of the papers by the Lenski labs show that the lambda phage evolves a certain defense mechanism very reliably in duplicated studies, despite it requiring several very specific mutations.

Carrying Gains and Losses Forward

If capital losses exceed capital gains, the filer is entitled to claim a deduction against the loss in the amount of $3,000 or the total net loss, whichever is less. When a net capital loss exceeds the $3,000 limit, it can be carried forward to future years.

In the following year, the loss carried forward would first be used to offset potential capital gains. If capital losses still exceed capital gains, the filer can claim up to $3,000 as a loss and continue doing so year over year until the net loss amount is reduced to zero.

Capital gains, however, cannot be carried forward. Once an asset is sold for more than its original purchase price and a gain is realized, the gain must be declared in full on that year's taxes. For this reason, those looking to sell off assets should do so strategically to minimize any potential tax burden that might ensue.

I don't smoke, but I go outside every few hours with the smokers, just to get that change of pace.

I can usually keep myself in flow, and it sometimes even jogs my brain around a puzzle I've been working at.
I could be wrong, but I would guess that your quandary isn't to do with the policy as such, but the way it's been gamed by car manufacturers. That diesel would likely have a much higher road tax if its actual emissions were taken in to account, and not just the lab-based ones.

Get a petrol car pay the tax would be my recommendation. Depends on what you need too. My 5-year-old petrol Fiesta was <£10k and is £0 road tax.

most western european nations have a very interdependent energy grid. (more so then the post-warsaw pact countries). The corridor BeneLux, Germany, france and italy is highly integrated. These systems are already reliant on each other, so power dependency in terms of nuclear power isn't really an additional issue.

There's a category of articles out there nowadays that do "$library in $num lines of code", reducing popular libraries or frameworks down to their core - filtering out all the edge cases, so to speak. I've seen them for Angular, React, Redux, etc. I think that a lot of frameworks and libraries would do good to have a "core" codebase somewhere, something pure but unoptimized and without edge cases that are easily digestable, that explain the core idea of it.
Been there, done that :) Just buy a good trailer. You get 10 top notch bikes plus trailer for the price of a car.
I agree with you on the first part. However keep in mind that sometimes it's better to subdivide a problem and find better solutions for each sub-part.

The case you outlined can be subdivided into (non-dense / non-watertight) surface reconstruction followed by hole-filling on the extracted surface.

Also, the given algorithm could still be used for filling holes in the data of a single-frame of a 3D sensor, where you "only" deal with noise, but not with overlapping data "layers".
Most of these could be transported on bike trailers. The bed will probably need to be shipped in disassembled form, but then again, I've never seen beds shipped in one piece.

That said, there are certainly things that you absolutely have to transport with some sort of automobile. But there's no problem with exempting such transports from a possible car ban.

Upvoted for careful scholarship and a useful addendum (I'm OP)!

I sometimes wonder whether a lot of Knuth's greatness comes from doing more of the stuff everyone knows they should do but don't. If you read this interview (https://github.com/kragen/knuth-interview-2006) with Knuth, he talks about how he was nervous he wouldn't be able to learn calculus so just decided to do all the problems instead of just the assigned ones. Unsurprisingly, partly because he's Knuth and we all know Knuth can do math, he ends up really good at calculus:
> But Thomas’s Calculus would have the text, then would have problems, and our teacher would assign, say, the even numbered problems, or something like that. I would also do the odd numbered problems. In the back of Thomas’s book he had supplementary problems, the teacher didn’t assign the supplementary problems; I worked the supplementary problems. I was, you know, I was scared I wouldn’t learn calculus, so I worked hard on it, and it turned out that of course it took me longer to solve all these problems than the kids who were only working on what was assigned, at first. But after a year, I could do all of those problems in the same time as my classmates were doing the assigned problems, and after that I could just coast in mathematics, because I’d learned how to solve problems. So it was good that I was scared, in a way that I, you know, that made me start strong, and then I could coast afterwards, rather than always climbing and being on a lower part of the learning curve.

Most local air pollution, counterintuitively, doesn't even come from exhaust.

Wear on tires, brakes, and the road each contribute more individually.

There's another process called resuspension that dwarfs even these. Cars grind down large particles sitting on the road, making heavy particles light enough to float in the air. Then the cars' wake kicks those newly light particles into the air, suspending them in the air.

That process is driven by vehicle weight, size, and aerodynamics, and contributes about two-thirds of the particulates from all vehicle sources.

One of the interesting takeaways from all that is that average vehicle weight can be massively important to local air conditions (no pun intended).

I think there's still some debate about the exact relationship between weight to PM output, but lighter frames and smaller vehicles are probably a good idea:
