while this is an excellent introduction to creating a sourdough starter this doesnt cover oven temperatures, bulk ferment, shaping, or the obvious use of a banneton for final rise. There is every possibility you'll be able to create this starter and still end up with a pancake.

The final picture in the link is absurd. The crumb is too wet to do much more than gum up a bread knife and the crust is undefined. in the first picture, the crust is underdeveloped suggesting low oven temperatures or a cold kitchen.

Id like to clarify this recipe by adding the following:

80% hydration of the loaf if you're making a rustic/boule and to promote proper gas development in the gluten structure. 65% for sandwich sourdough loaves formed in a pan (and a prayer).

450F oven temp for 45 minutes.

12 hour rest after cooking to allow gluten to properly finalize.

1.8% salt in accordance with the EU health commission recommendations for salt content of artisan breads.

remember to subtract your preferment hydration from the total fermentation. that is, if you start with a 100% hydrated 200g starter, then 100g of water must be deleted from your 80% final hydration.

if you dont have the patience for sourdough --and frankly a commercial steam proofer-- then 1-2% yeast by weight is the general recommendation for white bread. If you've never baked before, sourdough is enough to turn you off to the idea of anything but store bought. it is not as easy as this post makes it seem.
You know... there is one entity that is reasonably well funded, has incredibly strong capabilities for card fraud detection, and is well motivated to identify the fraud: the credit card companies.

(I work for one, which makes me especially interested in this topic. But I don't work in that particular area, nor do I speak for my employer.)

It makes me wonder whether some sort of collaborative fraud detection might be possible. As the merchant, you have access to additional information that the credit card company lacks -- things like the customer's name and the delivery address are (as this article explains) very helpful in detecting fraud, and these are data that the credit card company does not have access to. And of course the credit card company has access to information like the customer's purchase history and their recent transactions, which are useful for identifying fraud from a different direction. If both sources of data were available, it might be possible to detect a higher percentage of fraudulent purchases, and merchants who ship goods could be provided with the information so they could delay or cancel the shipment.

Do you think merchants would be interested in such a program?
I don't think this matters much, because the number of scholarly papers published in any field is determined by the number of people who need to publish papers to advance their careers, not the value of new ideas that need to be expressed.

A country's share of the top n papers matters, but not their share of the total number of papers.
Agree. I've used 'uint64_t thing_id' in somewhat-similar situations, to make it visually obvious which type you're dereferencing.

(That is, thing_do(foo.other_thing_id) still compiles, but at least it looks wrong.)

That being said, it is indicative of how complex OS licensing is that there are so many questions in this thread about how licenses are granted and transferred. At some point, MS will need to be making enough money from the cloud that they can drop this licensing model. It wont be soon, though. Windows revenue bwas up in the last earnings report.
By the same argument, Unix file descriptors should not be ints, either.

This argument is, in essence, an argument for strongly typed languages. There are many argument against this historical argument, and it is by no means a settled issue – on the contrary, it is very slowly, as the years go by, looking more and more like the strongly typed languages are on the way out.
Isn't there a workaround that they could load the preview on the server side?
Providing fake or incorrect income to the IRS is a crime and comes with a stiff penalty. If Amazon doesn't "fix" the problem quickly, I'd deal solely with the IRS.
In many cultural circles it’s very rude to gift money (or to even left the gifted know how much something cost).

Giftcards are seen as a way around that (although they’re not really better). They also show that you thought about the gifted (what would this person like), but respect that they might not like the specific gift you’d pick.

e.g. if you know someone is a LEGO collector, you gift them a LEGO gift card, instead of buying a specific collectors model that they might already have.
Is this going to have the crowd voting on moves, like Twitch Plays Pokemon? If so I think the game might go on for a long time (or a very short time if people spam "pass"). If Go doesn't end by mutual consent then it tends to go on for a very long time before the board fills up and it becomes literally impossible to play.

It's not a double-standard. Complaining about a wrong action (like speculating on food¹) is not the same as complaining about a system that makes a wrong action possible (like cryptocurrencies). Much like one can defend the protection of speech one despises.

The equivalent would be to complain about specific uses of cryptocurrencies, or in the other direction, about the very existence of banks and commodity markets.

I send you a link to my server you don’t need to click on it for me to know your IP.

That said there isn’t a very good solution for this.

Link preview is a user requested feature they can’t disable it.

Doing link previews on the backend would expose what you share to W/A which ain’t good either.

The only remotely viable option is that the sender must generate the link preview and then they send it but then that can be potentially exploited for other things.

I’ve often wondered where the tipping point is where you do start having to worry about collisions. Is frantic “fix all the uuid breaking code” the jobs boost for programmers 20 years from now? 100?

It seems unthinkable now but who knows...
So you rather W/A know what you are sharing? That kinda violates the whole point of E2E if you start putting in exceptions.

A better workaround would be the sender generating a preview but even that has a few threat models that can be abused.
Then maybe you should have manager's IDs done as separate type too?
This would be an interesting post if you mentioned what you were doing 100 million times per second. How tangled are your writes? What are your consistency requirements?

The reply is generated by the server in question, using information available to it.

Essentially, the point here is that WhatsApp is "clicking" the link (to generate a preview) with a resulting connection from the client's device, without user interaction.

So you can send a link to a server you control and harvest the recipient's client device IP, without the need for them to click on it.

Isn't there a famous monkey experiment that describes this situation.

The problem is Nvidia is never going to have the AI expertise up and down the stack like Google.

As far as I am aware Nvidia does not even run a cloud do they? Obviously never going to have the production NN that Google has.

Google now has well over 4k NN in production and not sure if Nvidia has any? Well over a billion a day are using the Google NN. That data allows Google to iterate in ways that Nvidia just never would be able to.

But this was all theory and why starting to see a little more concrete results like this where Google with their TPUs able to charge 1/2 the price of using Nvidia is value. Then we also have the paper from Google on the Gen 1.

I would guess Google is working on a gen 3. Nvidia is trying to catch a moving target but without the data. So they are behind, trying to catch up, but missing an arm.

A perfect example of this phenomenon is Capsule network pioneered by Hinton. They use dynamic routing which is potentially going to require different approach to memory access as the pattern would be different than CNN or RNN.

Today the problem is memory access and no longer instruction execution. Google nailed the low hanging fruit with the Gen 1 TPUs. They have 65536 very simple cores. Now you have to go after memory access.

Your post is all over the place so a bit hard to respond. Google Fiber was NOT about cost. It was about AT&T and other established players with some local governments making it difficult for Google to access what they needed to be able to compete.

I hate debating something with someone that is doing what you are doing. Google Fiber? Really?

"I think they are actually farther along and more aggressive about exploring deep learning"

I do a LOT of surfing on sites and can easily say this is the craziest thing I have read in a bit. You are honestly comparing Nvidia to Google? Really?

Google solved Go a decade early. Hinton did the Capsule networks and basically the farther of DL. Well made it actually work. What breakthrough came from Nvidia?

A single one?

There is so much crazy stuff in your posts this must be driven by something else and something emotional? Your points are just not based on reality. Is this really about Google firing Damore?

BTW, Nvidia read the Google Gen 1 TPU paper and why we see them doing similar things. But Google is going to move to addressing the memory access problems as that is the next area to improve. Once Google figures it out then you will see Nvidia just copy the approach like they are doing with the gen 1 TPUs.

I listened to this Nvidia presentation on YouTube and they were basically quoting the Google TPU paper. Talking about using 8 bit, integers, etc, for inference.

Google will release the gen 3 and then share a paper on the gen 2 and we will see Nvivida then try to copy that one. Nvidia always a couple of steps behind.

But I am a super curious person and can you share what this is really all about?
Quite! It's supposed to be an alternative viewpoint, nothing more.

It's standard security practice not to expose integer user IDs. Anyone who goes through standard security training knows this.

Granted, one thing languages could do is provide easy type containers so it's hard to misconstrue an I'd as referring to a wrong type. I once tried to do this with generics in C# but it wasn't worth the effort.
The upside is that your business is not totally transparent to outsiders who can figure out how many users, carts, products and messages you are adding each month.

Great follow up to the original argument. I certainly hope some language designers start to look really hard at these arguments.

Off the top of my head:

* Cancel all threads in the bundle.
* Block until all threads in the bundle exit.
* Block until at least one thread in the bundle exits. Cancel all the other threads.

I think there also is one 'restart any exiting thread' and a variant of the block until all rule where only failed threads are restarted. Hmm, actually - perhaps there should be variants specifying the behavior of failed threads in all cases?

Confused, her information is wrong. I was talking with a French gun owner who owned an AK and AR-15 both chambered in .222 Remington. Just because she doesn't know any gun owners who have them doesn't mean "military style weapons" are banned there.
This is not an argument, nor a definition. To save you the "energy", I'll remind you of the fact that these terms are extremely subjective. If you know what's "better for everyone" please share it with me, because I would like to know so I could act accordingly. I would also like you to tell me the means through which you came to that conclusion.

Failure to provide me with the necessary information will, in my opinion, confirm that what you were doing is just mere virtue signalling.

I believe it would be better for everyone if you told me what you believe[1] is better for everyone, so everyone who reads your comment might act accordingly in the best interest of others[2].

[1] Note that it's subjective.

[2] Where "best interest of others" is defined by you, which is subjective and probably inaccurate. On what basis do you have the nerve to claim you know what's better for everyone "involved"?

Hi all. I'm a 2nd year CS student who is well-versed with the basics of CS. I have completed a couple of small projects, which included a Tic-Tac-Toe and a minimalist RPG.

Over the summer, I would like to focus on building larger and more complex software systems, and over the next semester, I would be teaching what I learn to the freshmen at my institute.

What resources(books/videos/tutorials) would you recommend to me? How useful would be books on Design Patterns, and Software Engineering? I found the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge online, but I'm not sure how relevant it would be at my current position.

> Or maybe there would be a push to engineer deserts to be habitable. To create undersea habitats. To colonize Mars and expand further.

Would immortals risk themselves in such endeavors? If death came only through bodily harm, it makes sense that people would go to great lengths to protect their bodies.

Maybe we can assume that robots would be doing all the dangerous work. But why go to the effort of creating new more dangerous habitats for mankind, when societies could just remove the population growth pressure?

I don’t see any reason why a world of immortals wouldn’t eventually evolve into something like planet Solaria in Asimov’s Robot series: static, extremely risk-averse, minimal population to ensure maximum resources for each individual.

As you increase length, the number of possible strings grows exponentially. There are only a few (relatively) much smaller strings you can map to.
Whenever I deal with an external API, even if it gives me what looks like an integer for any object it has, I treat it as a string. I never do math on it, I don’t care about saving space, and I never know when they’ll run out of space and need to switch. Remember when Twitter famously stopped working because their IDs were BigInt but in JavaScript you only have 53 bits of space? Yeah, I don’t want that.

Also a stupid number of APIs I deal with like to use one or more leading zeros in their identifiers. The meaning isn’t different, but it gets annoying when trying to do search, because of course the end user typed those in and wants to be able to look up whatever as 021.
This is actually a pretty old story. It's been happening for some time now apparently.

Types, as mentioned, make this easy to avoid. For example:

When they raised the retirement age in my country to 67 they also snuck in a provision linking it to the average life expectancy. So as life expectancy goes up, so does the retirement age.

Hi

I'm a 2x Founder, serial entrepreneur and growth strategist. I founded and exited online tuxedo rental company SimpleTux before starting my second venture, Renly, an Airbnb for commercial business space, where I am currently CEO. Additionally, I've led growth at a number of startups, including alumni from such prestigious programs as Y Combinator and Techstars. My speciality is growth hacking. I'm sure I can help and would love to set aside a time for us to discuss your goals and how we can accomplish them together. See my startup resume at www.chrissheng.com

While every company's growth hack is different due to the product/service and marketing mix, the method to discovering that hack is the same. It's an incredible amount of testing, the ability to come up with a never ending source of creative content and channels, benchmarking and optimizing. It takes discipline to stay the course and set the variables. Usually a growth hacker is either really good at analytics or creative, I pride myself on being strong in both.

Look forward to connecting.

I’ve always wondered the point of this. I had a card stolen (skimmed in a taxi) and the first thing they did was donate $1 to a charity, before buying $12k of aquarium equipment from another country. Why not start with the aquarium purchase? (side note, the bank didn’t chargeback the donation because it would have cost the charity, and I wasn’t going to challenge that).
Oh yea, good point
