I’m pretty sure I’m close to at least eighty percent recall in person(the online tests are questionable). I used to creep people out growing up by walking up to them and saying “Hi,” after seeing/meeting them once. It took me until college to realize I was even doing it. I’m terrible with names though. You can tell me your name three times and there’s a chance I will not remember it. I would rather be somewhat good at both than really good at one and bad at the other. Not saying they are necessarily linked—but remebering the face without the name can get awkward. I have learned to repeat the name in conversation and try to link it with an object, color of clothing, or something distinctive. My mother oddly is extremely bad with faces—almost to the point it seems like she is face blind. Which is odd considering how good at it I am. She has a hard time interpreting faces in movies and as a result seems to have a hard time following the narrative.
Do you have any explanation of why you think so? And how much is hugh data for you?

I work with image processing, >1GiB/s. We optimize for each platform for hand, many embedded platforms but also x86_64. Most of our work is detectors and loss-less compression and we could not do these things in realtime if it weren't for SIMD/MIMD.
I coded up a 5x5 Gaussian blur using NEON instructions. I used the standard seperatable filter technique, one horizontal pass and then one vertical pass. Benchmarking effectively measured 2x the memory round trip time on the raspberry pi. My second implementation rotated 8x16 image blocks using register permute instructions. Only the block borders needed to be cached, meaning everything shared between blocks for a 640x480 image fit in L1. Despite being substantially more complex, I cut the execution time by 30%.

Lesson learned, sometimes the easiest performance gains are found by not being naive about memory access. The extra instructions were inconsequential.

Long-term Mathematica user (physicist) here:
I don't think the use of open source software would make most science -- maybe that does not apply to cs/datascience -- more replicable. Usually that takes an expert in the field. And usually these experts are employed at universities where Mathematica licenses are not the prime cost factor. That said, I am all for open source software. Although I would argue that probably trustable scientific results do not rely on the inner workings of e.g. Mathematica anyway, but use Mathematica as vehicle for say linear algebra or symbolic manipulation etc. While the inner workings of Mathematica may not be open source, in principle the relevant algorithms are not propriertary but usually well-known mathematical results and as such at least in principle easily reproducible outside of the ecosystem.

Modeling Dog Behavior from Visual Data
A Short Overview of Object-Oriented Software Design
So, first of all, it's vague jargon to describe a hypothetical concept that does not exist and may not ever exist.

Second, the defining characteristic of "grey goo" is that it's of an artificial or synthetic origin, and hence, the "grey" part of the concept intimates technology, but not much else. The only other characteristic is that "grey goo" is typically depicted as a swarm of microscopic contraptions stuck on a runaway chain reaction, although the consumables that sustain the reaction can be anything at all. So, there's no real limit to the inputs or outputs of this hypothetical monstrosity, except that it's an all-consuming blob or nebulous swarm.

Third, you contradict yourself, since you ascribe microbes as grey goo, but then you tack on "non biological" sustenance as an afterthought. The microbial life at hand are not necessarily autotrophs or even consumers on non biological material, they are all heterotrophs made of biological material, eating each other. Furthermore the microbes are not "grey goo" because they are of natural origin and process.

In conclusion, grey goo is a thought experiment about a man made disaster or industrial accident, involving microscopic systems gone haywire. No other requirements are really specific to the idea.

>Because unless you can figure out how to get the government to count tax twice that's where the money is going to come from... disposable income now going to tax.

State tax is deductible from federal taxes up to $10,000. So you can pay that $300 without it all coming out of after tax income.

Most people may not go over standard deduction, but dollar wise state tax is probably paid by high earners who will, since there is a graduated income tax in Oregon.

Are there people who idolize McCandless? The journalism I've encountered of him doesn't lend itself to that.

I know people people who respect him -- his enthusiasm and commitment and open spirit among other things. That's different. Most of those people are also capable of criticizing him, and in general, recognizing that one can direct criticism and respect at the same target.

As well as recognizing that far more experienced, knowledgeably, and conscientious folks than him have made mistakes in the wilderness and paid similarly.
I think AVX units on Intel cores have always been separate (i.e. not shared).

AMD Bulldozer processors have a shared floating point unit and some early pipeline stages like the instruction decoder per pair of cores. AMD Zen processors have since reverted to a more conventional design.

That doesnt make sense to me. On haswell/skylake ports 0 and 1 do most of the vector lifting. I don't think cores share any of the vector hardware.

Or are you trying to make some claim about hyperthreading?
"The mental model for Git is needlessly complex". I still cannot understand this one. I find Git terribly simple: you just have a hash DAG of commits, each of which has an associated hash tree of files. Branches and tags are just labels for individual commits (branches "move" and tags "don't"). The index is just another commit, only difference is that it has yet attached permanently to the tree; most of the time it is virtually transparent (just use "commit -a"), and when it is not it is very useful (the various "-p" flags). Pushing commits across repositories mean to update labels in the remote so that they match the local ones, and Git will take care of actually moving objects so that remote remains consistent. How can it be simpler than this?

I have not yet found such a simple description for any other DVCS, although I admit that given that Git is everywhere nowadays has not motivated my to do much research.

In the particular case of Fossil, if I read https://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/concepts.wik... (which is supposed to explain the concepts), it already begins explaining workflows, specifying that I have to choose between two alternatives, for which I do not even have a complete explanation (what happens if I divert from the suggested workflow?). Now that is what I call complex!
>I'm wondering what the stigma is.

I think a major part of the stigma is people thinking that borderline personality disorder and bipolar are the same thing, primarily because they have the same acronym. As a result, people wrongly associate Cluster B symptoms/behavior with bipolar.

Thanks for the link. This doesn’t match up with a lot of anecdotal evidence in humans. If it is primarily learned it’s also possible that some people specialize in a different way which could be checked using real-time FMRI. Chimpanzees tend to be used for most comparisons to humans— I wonder why they used Macaques.
> older generations of trams of Riga

A quick google search confirmed what I had already suspected, that is that those trams are Tatra trams, built in former Czechoslovakia. I’m a big fan of them, I think they are the main reason why I immediately became a tram-lover as a student almost 20 years ago when I moved to Bucharest in order to study. Of course, the newer trams look and are often times a lot more comfortable, but those Tatra trams have something of a “timeless design” about them that is hard to pin down but which you can still feel. Ever since I’ve become a tram lover I starting seeing cities without electric public transport (trams or trolleys) as belonging to an “inferior” stage of civilization.
... which is compatible with the recent understanding that depression is (usually?) the result of being worn out by chronic stress.
Indeed, but we are just end consumers of RHEL's release cycles. In large commercial environment (banking in this case) we are bound to use the supported versions from commercial vendors by law.

My scenario is simple - lots of very stable zfs 0.7.7 running on RHEL 7.4. We saw the 0.7.7 media reports of the bug and upgraded to 0.7.8 in fear of a catastrophe - but all hell broke loose after upgrading. Downgraded to 0.7.7 but got the new 7.5 RHEL kernel and still everything is a mess. Rebuilt some test systems with RHEL release 7.5 and 0.7.7 and still cannot even list a mount point of a brand new zpool without even creating any files on it.

Now we are seriously worried. Can't go back to 0.7.6 easily and any way zfs 0.7.6 modules don't load into RHEL 7.5 release - not compatible. We may have to go back to RHEL 7.4 and 0.7.7 which is still stable on many systems.

You guys are all heroes for your phenomenal work. Please keep to going...
I was not very specific. What I meant to get at was that if your bottleneck is memory, then optimizing for instructions is not going to help. is_sort is an example algorithm that's far more dependent on memory than it is on instruction throughput.

If your bottleneck isn't memory, then yeah, SIMD is a real boon.

But all of that already exists. A million chat apps that also do video calls, todo apps, etc. Even Google photos casually asked me to add my SO so they can view my photos.

I think that most people could do all of that adfree without installing another app.

Lately I've been thinking that browsers could do whole DOM diffing for the transitions between the same origin.

Browser could just retain a current DOM, then just replace what's different.

I wonder how hard would it be to implement.

I understand that it's not how it works currently. But I hate that most SPAs out there fail to signify progress and failure. I click something and nothing happens. It's infuriating.
I expected a bit more of content in the article, like which components of kubernetes equals which OTP functions or general patterns and how easy can be to implement your mini-kubernetes on Erlang, not just “hey they both solve the problems of a distributed by using similar patterns”.

I didn't make the "github" connection first because I thought you were making a play on "fosshub". If it provided release binaries, it can work both ways!
AVIF and audio/video; create a normal format like “AOM” (AOMedia)
AVIF is based on HEIF, which means it can also contain audio (sic!) and subtitles. Why not make a new format and name it like AOM (AOMedia)? AV1 for video, AA1 for audio, AS1 for subtitles. Yes, you will need to re-invent, but you will immediately make a normal format, which will not be embarrassing to let in the masses. There will be a single ecosystem that does not oblige to support all that obsolete garbage from the WEBM.

Wishes:

1. Thumbnail should be encoded AV1, why do you need JPEG here?

2. At the beginning of the file (magic number) you can use "aom". And then add "a" if file contain audio, "v" for video, "s" for subtitles. The order of additional designations is exactly what was called earlier ("avs").

3. Would not prevent a gradual download, as in the FLIF format. It would be nice to do this by default, but it's already impossible, right? AV1 is already standardized...

4. Try to make the design of the format more minimalistic, you do not need to do "if it's here, then there, otherwise in other places". Be simpler.

5. Be doubly simpler. You do not need to support all possible metadata formats. (Make your own, but well-thought-out. Meow.)

6. Force it on the web.

Let's do better than HEVC, PNG, JPEG, GIF, FLIF, ASS (SSA) and any audio format. We will reconsider everything that we have done before, we will do better. And we will spread this format by all means, because AOMedia contains companies that everyone has heard.

P.S. I hope, if someone becomes interested, then he will be able to convey this stream of thoughts to the place where developers will pay attention to it.
Depends which Libertarian you talk to, there are left wingers who are opposed to private property altogether and on the other side there are the ones that think the right of private property is one of the greatest goods.

Since there would be no government to enforce this right, the latter category is strongly in favor of the right to bear arms.

Oracle the core-RDBMS is great. It’s everything they’ve layered on top of it, like the ERP stuff, that is horrific.

But now Oracle is going to companies and saying hey you don’t need DBAs, use our cloud. The right thing for all Oracle DBAs to do right now is to push for their orgs to move wholescale to Postgres. Hit Oracle where it hurts.

Psychologically, this is a gross oversimplification and seing it this way generally does not help people.

It implies no choice, it implies that your life is controlled by chemicals.

And yet this theory cannot answer some simple questions, like, why there are people who actually get off opioids? How is it possible, if opioid is the "ultimate goal" of the brain and it "literally done trying to do anything", how does anyone ever get off it?

The brain and especially the mind is much more complex and deep than something that is controlled solely by some chemical. Chemical is what the brain uses. Chemicals do not use the brain.
Unless they gain traction. Which is the time they will start monetizing their users.

We already knew that thanks to the studies on feral children, but it has nothing to do with their assertion that we are unable to recognise faces from the beginning and it is just a learned behaviour.
One of the scariest things to me about IoT devices is people using them without really understanding the tech behind them. It feels like a lot of older companies are still just getting used to working with smartphones and having databases instead of file cabinets, and suddenly IoT means they have 20 new devices that they don't really understand, that often are set up to have more access than necessary (because that's probably the easiest way to set them up)...

At the root of this is a nexus of bad incentives, bad accounting, and bad predictions about the future.

- You have politicians who are in charge of everyone's budget, wanting to show results before the next election. You don't want taxes to go up immediately, so you do a deal with the workers to pay them later. On the worker side, if you have a final salary scheme (or max salary), and you've had colleagues you've worked with for decades, well why wouldn't you promote them?

- The "pay them later" will require you to pay them more, because we all discount a dollar tomorrow over a dollar today. We might not be around, money might not buy the same, and we generally find it hard to put off anything pleasurable. So we need more tomorrow if we're gonna do that deal. A lot more.

- Bad predictions also come from bad incentives, not just bad accounting. It makes it a lot easier to suppose your investment will make 2% more each year, and this internet bubble is the perfect "evidence" that it might happen. Bad predictions will feed back into bad accounting.

But as for the article itself, aren't football coaches the highest paid staff of any organisations that have them? Even the military? I understand the NYT wants people to read their articles, and thus has humans in the pictures instead of pie charts, but it's the pie charts that tell you there's a problem, not the people.

Yes we have, and while the various new JS frameworks may be a bit more complicated they are also vastly more productive environments. For example webpack's development server let you develop your app with real time updates with hot reload. The productivity benefits from just that are worth more than a few days of setting up webpack. And that's just one thing webpack provides

Villa camera (Iskra) is a folding type rangefinder medium format that is the best mechanical camera done in USSR, it has automatic counter and leaf shutter. Optically is copy of Zeiss Tessar and is my favorite medium format camera for street photography. It gives me a felling close to M3 Leica rangefinder. Some say that Iskra is a copy of AGFA Isolette but i think that Russian version is superior. Grab one of Ebay if you are into film shooting. They are cheap and do beautiful work.
Nah it's just verge being a crappy example of journalism.
The issue is that for the result there are too many variables and unknowns that complicate the most important thing. Writing the app and not taming the build process. Take Ember for example. It lacks the freedom to configure as you please but gets you going creating very fast.

Not sure what you mean, I can process non-cached sequential data from RAM over 20 GB/s by using SSE/AVX.

There's no chance you could achieve same by using scalar instructions. SIMD can access memory a lot faster than scalar.

Random access is another matter. The trick is of course to avoid non-sequential access patterns.

Intel Compiler Intrinsics Guide
I would just add my personal experience and say that while it was possible to get off of opioids, I do feel that my sense of pleasure from other things in life has been somewhat blunted for many years after.

After ten years abstaining from opioids and cocaine I still don't feel quite as much drive to do normal pleasurable activities and when I do them they don't feel quite as great as they once did. Strenuous exercise definitely works the best. If I get a good weight lifting session in, go for a run, or bike ride I get a pretty strong endorphin high now. Even five years ago I didn't feel nearly as strong an endorphin reaction as I do lately from these activities.
I have known people that didn’t budge on their scores and people that shifted by 200 points on the old 1600 point scale. Not sure how much it has changed over the years. I would wager that test taking in general is at least somewhat of a skill. The more multiple choice tests I took the better I became at them. There seems to be an underlying pattern most teachers use.
