> So; since automatic driving systems are non-ergodic, they must be dramatically better (ie. orders of magnitude better) than the "average driver" to be considered viable.

The risks from human drivers are also non-ergodic, so that suggests that if automatic driving systems are even minimally better than the average driver you should demand that every other driver be replaced with them without delay, because you will die sooner with human drivers on the road.

Of course, you won't want to be replaced unless the automatic driver is better than you, and human drivers all think they are far above average. And that’s the real problem.
There's now a PoC exploiting this race, seemingly placing the 32-bit -l option value into the uninitialized part of the `struct input_event` to modify a shell script that runs as root: https://gist.github.com/fkt/5f8f9560ef54e11ff7df8bec09dc8f9a

Remains to be seen if the PoC actually works though, I've been unable to win the race so far, although the varying ioctl errors indicate it might be close?

Great job guys!
Huh? Growth mindset has been validated. For small interventions, the effect is not large, but it IS replicable. If even just a couple of 25 minute pep talks show a statistically measurable effect (even if it is small), then that is important when scaled up.

Some scientists are using github as github for science, including development done in the open. For instance, this is just one particle physics project I happen to be aware of https://github.com/DisplacedHiggs

Open development is a policy for these projects and part of the grant stipulations.

Of course, data sets are more closely guarded initially until the groups that created them can publish. After that, though, CERN /LHC has done a decent job of making data publicly available from my understanding (not as someone directly involved).

I would be interested to hear more from scientists involved in projects doing open science.

Great blog post bringing this comparison up about unlimited salary (original version seems gone now):

It really makes sense -- you wouldn't leave it up to your line manager to decide ad hoc "well that daycare for your kid is too much for you so I won't approve," your salary is your agreed-upon compensation.
I agree with your sentiment (their SESTA coverage was a bit ridiculous) but that's exactly what opposing interests are doing.

It's not a fair fight by nature. Why hold the only defender in the arena to a higher set of standards?

For a good 2nd level support job:

Forget CompiaTIA. Seriously.

Remove CCTV and phone repair stuff from your resume.

Learn Linux. Go deep. Take a LPI or Linux Foundation certification.

Next (or in parallel) learn cloud computing. Doesn't matter much which one but AWS might get you more attention.

You might want to take the CCNA cert too if your understanding of networks isn't great.

Learn a programming language for automation. Python is a good choice. Golang too. Participate in open source projects if you do that.

For a crappy 2nd level job:

Leave all the low level skills in your resume. They will be looking for that.

Work on what I said above in parallel.
Papers (and PDFs) are relevant because they are easy to organize and archive, essentially in perpetuity. Source code is too, so nothing wrong with a "Github for Science". Notebooks, blogs, or interactive dashboards, on the other hand, are an amazing tool both for research and for communication, but they are far more ephemeral than a paper. They need a large overhead to keep them running that cannot be sustained over decades or centuries. Typically, you'll have lots of trouble re-running a 5 year old notebook. That's not to say they're useless, e.g. as supplementary material (quite the opposite). They're just not going to replace papers anytime soon.
Debian doesn't install ed by default, although it did in the past: https://bugs.debian.org/416585
Nevertheless people gobble it up. They are the advocates we deserve, not the advocates we need.
I assume you don't just means using Github for version control of scientific papers, because that sounds pretty pointless to me.

As far as tracking incremental improvements over time goes, I think it'll be hard to do better than our current method of including references to papers. It's impossible to track ideas the same way tracking code works (which itself is limited for similar reasons).

It would be nice if you could reference papers in a way that immediately allowed you to access them. And the technology to do so is there, but has limited use if papers aren't freely accessible from the internet.

But, given that the system of papers with references is essentially a DAG, I imagine someone will attempt to 'solve' the problem with blockchains before you can say 'initial coin offering'.

Have you been interacting with the hiring managers directly?
Most people don’t know why they’re not getting hired/called for interviews, or how to get “better.” And employers aren't giving any direct feedback due to time restrictions. But hiring managers know they need to get better at telling people what they’re looking for, and we're been working on facilitating that interaction. Exactly why we started Edvo (www.edvo.com) and applied to YC!

Please email me at raaid@edvo.com - We've just started so our current employer network is small but we'll earnestly try to direct you to places or facilitate the interactions with hiring managers so you can know what they’re looking for.

If there's anyone else that feels this pain, please comment/reach out! The more we learn, the better we can be and the more people we can help.
If I may, Leon Battista Alberti (with two t's, you have a typo in page https://vcrypto.tonyo.info/venetian_crypto/website/index.php... ):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Battista_Alberti

belongs to (early) Renaissance and definitely not to Middle Ages (unless you specify "very, very late" middle ages).

He was born in Genoa, lived and worked for long years in Florence and Rome (where he died) and in a number of other cities but has NO connection whatever with Venice.

Johannes Trithemius was German and had very little connections with Italy, and not particulalry with Venice.

Giovan Battista Bellaso (also two t's and two l's in the surname) actually published his "La Cifra" book in Venice, although he was from Brescia, there are no evidence of particular connectins with Venice and his other works were published in other cities.

Blaise de Vigenère was obviously French, and while he traveled to Italy, he only lived in Rome, again there is no particular connection with Venice.
Gmail is a big e-mail provider, but e-mail is still not centralized after half a century.
Another performance issue with early EMV (I assume before NFC) is that it supports more different applications ("cards") on same physical card and there is no preferred one and the terminal essentially tries random file names until it finds something (and in fact is even supposed to continue the search to exhaustion for the rare case when the card contains more than one usable EMV application, in which case the customer is supposed to select the used one from menu). In current version the cards are supposed to contain data file with known name which specifies the filename of preferred application, this is required for NFC cards for somewhat obvious reasons, but AFAIK only recommended for contact-only.

This process is probably the largest part of what happens when the terminal/ATM displays message like "Chip initialisation in progress".

By beating the shit out of people you're obtaining power for yourself. Modern anarchism is fascism, masking itself as the opposite.
FreeBSD's patch runs red, a change we picked up from DragonFly BSD. That said OpenBSD's change to internally handle ed-style diffs is the best approach and I expect FreeBSD will migrate to that.
I don't have a problem with legitimate inquiries into crime, with probable cause, approved by an independent whose role is to safeguard against needless intrusions by the government. I don't believe in legally requiring code to be insecure through backdoors, extrajudicious dragnet "intelligence," or other deeply disturbing secret police BS authoritarian strains of the intelligence communtiy seem to be advocating. If they can open the phone with or without Apple's help is almost irrelevant. What matters is if they have gone through an accountable process to gain legal authorization to open it.

On the other hand, the fact that the FBI used this to gain legal powers in the vein of the burning of the Reichstag is unacceptable.

We use kirkland brand formula from costco. It's repackaged Similac. Exactly the same thing and it is less than half the cost. It even comes in the same plastic containers. They just change the stickers. All the other off-brands are likely just as good as any brand name and usually just repackaged brand name stuff anyway.

Filtered water is fine unless you live in an area with lead problems.

And what obscene cost for bottles? We have exactly 4 bottles so far for our 4 month old and they were less than $5 each. And new nipples are about $2 each when we needed to change the flow.
That's true, but there would be 100's or even 1000's of copies of that stuff on your harddrive and with drives being a lot smaller that was a real problem. RAM was always expensive so that's a valid point.

There used to be such a thing as an optimizing linker that would throw out all library code that could not be reached.

Windows does a good job of versioning the actual system DLL's like user32.dll, kernel32.dll, and so on.

The run-time libraries on top of this aren't part of the system. Each application brings its own and so of course hell will break loose if you mix and match.

Windows has no malloc or printf (not for public use anyway).

In the POSIX world, the user-space C run-time support is part of the platform so it is carefully versioned, just like kernel32.dll on Windows.

User space compiler run-time support isn't part of the platform on Windows; it is not that carefully versioned. Everyone is supposed to provide their own. If you have a compiler from Acme, Inc, you use the Acme C library with Acme malloc and Acme printf.

> putting DLLs into a dedicated folder

Which actually works on Windows, that's the thing.

Searching for shared libs in the same directory as the executable is very nice: like me.c finding its #include "me.h" next to it.

The Unix people didn't pay attention to their own programming language when they designed shared libs.
> Bam. Bam. Bam. Dummy trade signals that were supposed to stay within the company’s electronic systems broke loose and slammed into computers at the New York Stock Exchange’s options markets. So many orders crashed through that by 8:44 a.m., safeguards within Goldman Sachs sprang into action, severing the connection between the company and the exchanges.

If not for the good graces of the options exchanges, the bank would have lost $500 million, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Sensei Labs (a subsidiary company of Klick Inc.) | Senior Backend (.NET) Developer | Toronto, ON Canada – Onsite

Here at Sensei Labs, we are revolutionising the way we traditionally think of management technology. We are on a mission to bridge the gap between the expectations of a connected, data-driven workplace and an increasingly disengaged and disconnected workforce.

We created our internal operating system called Genome, to achieve the type of workplace that well equips their employees with interconnected-ness to their co-workers and fosters conversations about data and progress in your own role. Our system became such a strong part of our culture, that other companies were interested buying Genome as a product!

With the growth of Genome internally within Klick and continued success we have had with Genome for our customers, we need strong .NET Developers who are able to get involved in making back end architecture decisions, selection of libraries, build optimisations, etc. We work in a Microsoft environment so we need people who are very strong in ASP.NET C# MVC & SQL Server.

Here is our job description  https://join.senseilabs.com/?r=1&l=1/#/apply-now/234

Please reach out to me (adoopan@klick.com) or apply within the link above.

Thanks,
Alyssa

You say "often" but I confess I'm struggling to agree. I can't think of many times. And I'm quite frustrated with, for example, Sanders refusing to support moderate progress on gun control in preference to a hypothetical Big Action.

If you do nothing, you did nothing. There is no strategic advantage to waiting forever for the perfect opportunity. Nor is that really how politics in my government works. It's by design an incremental process.

This is really cool. It was a little dense for me, not knowing much about version solvers.

This is bad advice in places like South Carolina and Georgia where your employer is probably going to be a contractor working with GSC, General Dynamics, Raytheon, etc, and your resume simply has to get through that grunt level HR person before anyone will talk to you.

Some of them won't even let you touch their systems without A+ or Network+, as terrible as that is. Having a CCNA/JNCIA is a better alternative. It's changing, but slowly.

It might be worth doing the "worthless" certification just once to get some better work experience. I definitely wouldn't advise anyone refresh that certification ever though. That would be a red flag.

You should still want your tools to have this power.

It's amazing what you can do with tools built like this and how _easy_ it is. People use the same motivation for making microservices, "do one thing well", they just don't think about it for command line utilities and treat shell scripting like a second class citizen.

@ah- thanks for mentioning Polyaxon and congrats to the CometMl team for building this nice tool, it's good to see that many projects are trying to solve problems related to reproducibility in ML/DL, many people had to build an internal tool for the companies they work for to solve this issue, and many got frustrated after joining a new team and were not able to reproduce any results.

I would like to outline a couple of differences between CometML and Polyaxon, as mentioned before, we are also trying to solve issues related to technical debt in ML, but not only, Polyaxon tries also to simplify training and scheduling parallel and distributed learning. there are also a couple of differences, I see CometML as dashboard, Polyaxon does not have an extensive dashboard as CometML, but it leverages Tensorboard for most of the visualisations.
We use the CLI or the API for programatic access to the platform. Most importantly, Polyaxon aims to be an open source and to be installed on premise or in the cloud, it solves the issue related to code tracking based on an internal git and a docker registry, and as someone else mentioned that resources for running an experiment could be an issue for future reproducibility, Polyaxon restarts the experiments with the same resources and dockerfiles, it also tracks hyper params as part of the configuration.

For hyper params tuning and suggestion, Polyaxon can also do hyper params search based on a couple of algorithms, and for the next release, it will include also a service similar to vizier for suggesting more experiments/group of experiments based on a given search space.

Disclaimer: I am the author of Polyaxon

I've had a paper peer reviewed. It was ultimately rejected but I can't help but suspect that by making all my code publicly available, I hurt my chances of publication. The reviewers comments were about my coding style, my choice of build tool (I didn't use make, but something else which is just as easy to use), the choice of C vs C++...

It's like best practices for computer security -- always strive to minimize the attack surface. :) Without source code there is much less stuff to criticize!
