I once spent several months reading a certain set of patents. This was sanctioned by the lawyers of the company I was working for then. A few comments:

- Patents are supposed to "teach" things. Yet in every place I've worked, employees are prohibited or at least actively discouraged from reading patents, because of liability concerns. So they fail at teaching because knowledge of what's in a patent is actually dangerous.

- The first month or so of reading those patents was basically about learning a whole new language. The terminology, twisted descriptions and deliberate obfuscation again makes the "teaching" aspect of patents utterly useless. No one in their right mind says, "I'm going to go learn some new stuff, so I'm off to read a bunch of patents." Nobody does that.

Patents don't teach, they're a land grab, and are about as hostile to the actual "Progress of Science and useful Arts" as a sucking chest wound.

In the first few lectures of the course you get a pretty good history of deep learning and you'll see it didn't really take off until around ~2012. And the reasons for it taking off is mostly because people are getting better at the black magic of training a deep network.

So these grad students are exactly the people you want to learn from because they have done the dirty work of fiddling with parameters to know what tricks work and what doesn't. It's probably preferable to a more theory-heavy course because very few people (not even the more experienced professors) understand why those tricks work.

Note: I took an older version of the course which was started by Andrej Karpathy who was a grad student at the time but is now the Director of Artificial Intelligence at Tesla.

> We 401(k) holders are the world’s ideal source of capital. ... alone and devoid of leverage to negotiate.

It's really best if leverage goes all the way through from me to the end, though.

With a 401(k), if a fund is being managed poorly, I can "fire" the manager by selling it and buying another fund in the plan. (And at next job change, I can roll over to a new 401(k) plan or an IRA.)

If my pension is being managed poorly, as far as I know, I'm just out of luck. I have a pension from an old job, and to my knowledge, I cannot touch it until I'm 65. Of course there is no choice of pension "funds" to switch between within the plan like mutual funds in a 401(k). Even though I've changed jobs, I can't roll it over to anything.

So as far as I can tell, the pension trustees (managers) may have leverage over whatever they invest in, but I have no useful leverage over the pension trustees.

And it's not like pensions are never mismanaged. For example, in recent years there has been a scandal where the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System (DPFP) had a high guaranteed payout that their investment returns couldn't match, and instead of trying to fix it properly (whatever that means), they just kept it a secret and went wild with risky investments. See https://interactives.dallasnews.com/2017/dallas-police-fire-... . Thankfully my own pension is better managed. At least, I assume so, but it's hard to research since it's a private fund thing.
Do you have any insights as to how those internal frameworks developed?

Absolutely not.

In TLS we now have two bogus version numbers you should ignore. We also have an extension that will signal the real version number. It'll also send a bunch of bogus version numbers to "train" servers to expect and ignore bogus version numbers.
This is all due to the fact that server vendors found it too complicated to implement "if I get version higher than what I support I answer with the highest version I do support". Instead they often implement "if I get a version higher than I support I'll drop the connection".

But all of that was not enough to make TLS 1.3 work. It now also includes sending a bunch of bogus messages that have no meaning and are ignored, just to make it look more like TLS 1.2.

The sad thing is 1080p video works just fine in Firefox. There's a Firefox add-on available which enables the 1080p stream:

Not amazing at all to me, considering that they are completely different populations.

The youngest subject at the start of that window dropped out of that population 7 years ago (3 years before the last survey). The figure doesn't count cures, or even reduced transmissions, among the original subjects.

That said, I find the quoted statistic suspect. First of all, the first vaccine wasn't even licensed until 2006, and there wasn't a vaccine that addressed more than 4 of the cancer-causing subtypes until 2014[0]. Second, they only targeted girls of age 12-13 (although they provided free vaccinations on manual request through age 19), leaving out girls in the upper 70% of the age range altogether from the survey population.

So, I don't take those numbers at face value, although I don't debate the safety or efficacy of these particular vaccines, being genetics-based. It's the profiteering by the planned-obsolescence model of the manufacturers that bothers me. If you're a parent and you followed the public-health experts' recommendations, and you wanted the full (nonavalent vaccine) functionality, you would have given a three-injection treatment of the bivalent spanning 6 months, then (later) a three-injection treatment of the quarivalent spanning 6 more months, then another cycle of the nonavalent vaccine... giving the manufacturers a lot of money out of your public health budget and a proof-of-concept for the drug companies to do this in lots of other vaccines and drugs in the future.

Nitpick, a jet engine is an internal combustion engine.

See second paragraph, first sentence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine
The IRS can evaluate restricted charitable contributions to ensure that they meet a charitable purpose. If you make a restricted gift to a 501(c)(3) organization, the receiving organization should evaluate the conditions to ensure that they don't undermine the tax-exempt purposes of the organization's work. I expect that the IRS could examine the deduction on both ends to ensure that you didn't receive significant value in exchange for your gift, and that the organization is still engaged in appropriate activities.

Normally when you make a tax-deductible charitable gift, the organization you donated to will send you a letter documenting your gift and stating that no goods or services were provided in exchange for the gift:

https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organiz...

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1771.pdf

The IRS might review that documentation as part of a tax audit. If it's inaccurate, it could conceivably affect the tax status of the organization that issued the acknowledgement letter.

The IRS can also revoke the 501(c)(3) designation of an organization if it concludes that the organization is inappropriately providing benefits to its donors. For example, it might require the organization to be reclassified under a different tax-exempt status where donations are not automatically treated as tax-deductible charitable contributions.

A subtle thing that might be bothering you is that people can make extremely specific charitable gifts to pursue extremely specific goals, and those can still be treated as tax-deductible. For example, you could donate to create a scholarship with very detailed eligibility requirements (often, donors to schools have created scholarships for students with very similar life circumstances to the donors' own). But, there is still a requirement that can't claim a deduction for the amount of a donation for which you personally receive goods or services with a market value as a quid pro quo, except to the extent the donation exceeds that market value.

Apparently France's nuclear strategy fell into the category of "self-sacrifice".

If you plan for a 20 year retirement, but live an extra 10-20 years and run out of money, that is a pretty significant downside.

Another advantage of retirement policies that can take advantage of actuarial risk, is that they can also adjust their market risk to match the actuarial distribution. The common advice is to have most of your 401k in bonds and other safe assets by the time you retire to protect against market volatility. But if you live another 40 years, you will have missed out on a lot of potential investment return if you were all in on bonds. Pooled retirement solutions can balance those risks better.

I don't believe that. Either they use expensive powerful hardware or they measure performance only on start with empty documents. Because even Sublime Text starts lagging after long use and typing several pages of text. There is no way HTML page can be faster than optimized native code.

> One of the few places? This is hilarious. You are doing exactly what I said. You are spinning discrimination against men into victimization of women.

"Spinning" would imply this is propaganda, or that I'm using some disingenuous or deceptive tactic. But instead, I simply pointed out that there is probably a cause behind the "dominance of women in certain professional fields", and that it may in fact be related to women's oppression. You can disagree all you want, I don't really give a shit, because you aren't interested in finding out if this is or isn't the case - you aren't even capable of doing research to find out if this is some ridiculous "spin" or made up story, or find any backstory to it at all.

> There are just as many misogynous, homophobic, violent and "other forms of oppression" women out there.

First of all, just as many misogynous women as men? So there are just as many women who hate women as there are men who hate women? Sounds weird. Why would they hate themselves, especially in large numbers? And just as many homophobic women? So why isn't women beating up other women for being gay such a cultural trope as it is for macho male culture? Why are there so few women at nationalist, white supremacist, neo-nazi, and similar rallies? And I'll just post this Wikipedia page (I know you're not going to read it, but again, I don't care): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_against_women 1 in 4 women experience domestic violence in their lifetime, compared to 1 in 7 men. And 1 in 7 women experiencing at least an attempted rape in their lifetime compared to 1 in 37 men. Women are also more likely to be murdered by an intimate partner than men. And 1 in 6 women have been stalked in their lifetime compared to 1 in 19 men. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_in_the_Unite...

You had a valid point about listening to the stories of men who are accused of rape and the subsequent aftermath thereof, and then you threw it all away by being an MRA shill and an uninformed troll. And here I am, correcting your dumb ass, because some idiots on this forum are actually upvoting you like you have a valid point.

Or, third option, you could have used a language like Rust that would allow you to write using a high-level programming language, and yet still you could dip down to low-level code whenever needed for performance reasons.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Python fan for certain types of projects. And now with Python 3 and asyncio, Python is great for writing I/O-bound code. But it's not ideal, even if you confine your use to a Python subset, for a project for which parsing is a critical part.

Finally, you may prove me wrong, but even using a subset of Python, I don't think you're going to eke out the performance you're looking for using CPython's VM. I say this simply because it's not a very performance-oriented VM (partly because of the bytecode instruction set but also because it's stack- instead of register-based, and some other architectural issues). So then you're back to writing your own VM from scratch -- a significant undertaking.

In any case, I wish you luck. Oil Shell's a cool project, so I hope it succeeds.

Yes. I bought some very cheap LEDs of AliExpresss, but they failed quite quickly (no surprise). Name brand bulbs from my local supermarket have, so far, held up vastly better.

One of the more amusing ways the cheap bulbs failed is by neglecting to use UV stabilisers, so just leaving the bulb on would cause them to degrade their own housing until they fell apart. (The other main failure mode I saw was the transformers giving out.)
Some drugs likely would be discovered through non profit efforts. But it seems reasonable to believe that we would be quite a bit farther behind overall without the profit motive.
