As I've already pointed out, you do not understand that evolution works on the level of genes not individuals. You're reiterating that ignorance here.

Other parts of your really basic lack of understand of it is also demonstrated by your latest comment:

- thinking that evolution works as if it had intention and foresight.

- thinking that being past child-making age can't affect "future evolution in their favour" (this is a variation on the misunderstanding that evolution operates on individuals rather than genes).

There's nothing wrong with being ignorant about a topic, but there is with being so and acting like you know what you're taking about.
You don't need to become a MAMIL or even buy expensive gear to road ride. I cycle on a $250 mountain bike in running shorts and a singlet. I'll wear jeans and a jumper if it's cold. Crashes are a reality, the same as driving a car. I've never had a crash with another road user, sometimes people don't see me but they don't see me in my car or motorbike either. You can ride with lights and hi-vis gear if you feel the need to.

It depends on what you define value. The ancients wrote extensively about friendship and attributed very high value to it, and that value degraded gradually, first with christianity and then with industrial way of life.

I think such a utilitarian view is a post-hoc rationalization rather than a useful way to look at it. But even if we follow this line of thought, it is not clear that family, for example is of such high value that it has to be detrimental to everything else. It seems more to me that family benefited from the time freed up by not having friendly relationships, but whether people derive more value from family than they did in the past is very debateable. Spending more time with it is not proof that it has higher value - people will always do something in lack of alternatives.
Anyone know what kind of mathematics Ticki will be doing? Talking about correctness makes me thinks she or he is going to gravitate towards logic and foundations and the sorts of mathematics that computer people usually like. I ask because as someone who works with computers and doesn't prefer computery mathematics, I'm always looking for a kindred spirit.
I never got the chance to try.

Would anyone care to describe why it wasn't great?

> Why should I get multiple subscriptions then?

My dad subscribed to both "The Edmonton Journal" and "The Edmonton Sun". Why? Because each had it's own bias and perspective on current events. What you're describing is not only not new, it's literally the dominant business model for print journalism for the last 100 years. Will it translate to the internet? I guess we're about to find out.
We have just one Scala service - it's not a language we use day to day.

We're almost entirely Go, but do use other languages where it makes sense to - usually because there's a useful library, or great tooling / community for a particular use case. For example we have a handful of Python services for ML.
Windows Updates are simply broken. If you're using windows then there is no way around reinstalling windows regularly. I've had update issues on vista, 7 and 10. I could fix some of them on vista but the time investment has always been higher than simply reinstalling windows.
I would think we would be the majority here though?

Edit: also, and this goes to the person upthread, even if mainstream media goes for gossip I'd still think we should make up a nice niche?
Yes. That was for me the more fascinating aspect of the story. There are lots of wealthy people. But not too many with that kind of stamina and enthusiasm.

> You're suggesting that it's better that we allow people to continue harassing people over things that have literally nothing to do with their ability to code

I don't. That's you misrepresenting my point of view.

I've yet to contribute to a project which holds a COC, still I've yet to see any kind of harassament or abuse based on the ethnicity, sex, religious view or age of other contributors. In fact these things have not not ever been a subject. The subject was always the code.

My opinion is that we focus on the code, the commits and not who wrote them. Simple as that. Why construe that as me supporting abuse?

Yes, that means that if a trans "woman of colour" (or whatever is PC to write these days) submits a bad patch I should be able openly criticize it the same way I would criticize it as if it was written by a straight, white male. And how would I know that? Why should I even be expected to know that in the first place?

I'm also against using a disproportionate amount of energy on explicitly focusing on these things which we all agree should not matter. Many of these diversity initiatives do exactly this, and when they do, that's just utterly detracting to the task at hand: crafting good software together.

So my opinion is that these things are counter-productive and misguided, and my point is that I've yet to see any proof that I am wrong in holding that opinion.

I think that's simple and clear enough, without the need to read any ulterior motives into it.

Edit: Clarifications. Examples.
Reading the comments here one would not think that the post is about someone who

1. Is announcing withdrawal from (active) FOSS, to focus full time on mathematics

2. Who also think they are not the best suited for contributing to Rust because they have a theoretical bent and aim for getting things right rather than simple or working... And acknowledge that this might be a limitation

3. Would like others to take over their projects

Rather the comments here lead you to think this is some sort of a negative disgruntled rant.

Well, one could argue that the price is near zero. It is very rare software product that does not have somehow usable open source competitor. Then what you are paying for is something else than the zero marginal cost basic functionality. Like support, branding, network effect rents or something else.
That’s a false dichotomy. China is ostensibly commmunist but free market is alive and well (with heavy doses of state directed influence, but so as in other western countries, witness the military industrial complex)

A truer dichotomy would be between a rigid semi-dictatorship and quasi-democracy... given that even China has token democracy at some levels despite now essentially having a rubber stamped dictator, and many western states are a long way from true democracy - the voting system in the US hardly allows representative democracy and special interest groups are adept at manipulating voting blocs very effectively, and is 2 party democracy really democracy? Other countries do better jobs (ie Australia’s preferential voting, germany’s Proportional representation) but you can argue that till the cows come home

The only websites where I have allowed notifications are discord and slack. I can't see any reason why a news site should be allowed notifications. I know why the site wants to send me notifications - alert on new articles loaded, draw me back in, keep my traffic, just like why they want me to install a native app - but I can't see the benefit to me.

Still, if I've managed to allow notifications to slack/discord I'm sure I could figure out allowing autoplay on YouTube/twitch.
LR performance with RAW is beyond horrible. LR unability to work properly with simple panoramas is pathetic - Autopano can fetch all info from RAW just as well as LR, perform the joining about 3-4x faster (no kidding), AND do a far better job at joining pictures where LR simply fails to find anything matching.

And those are just panoramas
Prog metal and death metal are my favourites. It is true, growing up in the 80s it would be inevitable but a lot of my school friends were listening to pop music. I think there is definitely a pattern with CS and metal. Not sure why.
Well, indeed I disregard anthropic theories largely on the grounds of non-cognitivism, which I suppose is not an ordinary form of skepticism. I lump them both together in my own mind not because of how I rationalize ignoring them, but instead because I think the popularity of both of them is driven more out of spiritualism than science.

For those using iTerm, a nice way to try this out is running it through imgcat:

From the author's comments:

"The uncompressed image is 12 times larger than the source code of the program which includes the image data and the complete decoder. The actual image data is 1220 byte long, which gives a compression ratio of 40. Using a JPEG-like algorithm would not be enough to reach this level of compression (the Lena image would be barely recognizable). So the algorithm is based on the latest advances in image compression."

I'm sorry if it sounded like I said anything like that, I'm talking solely from the point of view of the user, I have no doubt that a lot of work goes into it. I'm just saying that as a user I really don't see the point of taking the risk of using a closed source tool when high quality open source code editors exist.
Huh, I thought this was a behaviour YouTube/twitch did manually as it doesn't seem 100% reliable on news sites.

For a while “c” was calendar, “ca” was calculator, “cal” was calendar again. I use launch bar and that has been my only irritation. It seems to continue learning and not get stuck on certain key combos.
Yes, it is as you stated. Due to the fact that bandits are stateless, there is no state parameter in $q_(a,s)$. From where I learned it, this could arguably be an abuse of notation to use $q_$ in the same context. In my newer entry(which is currently WIP), it uses $q_*(a,s)$ and uses cumulative sum of the future rewards(with discount). Thanks for the reply guys :)

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” ― Thomas A. Edison
I learned that other humans are the most important thing in life. It took me a while and right circumstances to really feel and appreciate the importance of social interaction. I used to think I don't need to be around people much with all the goals to achieve and learning to do. Until I tried living and working in isolation for a while. Everything just becomes meaningless.
Only problem is that you do not see the new dawn.

You need to sell yourself a broken bit of goods(that you will see that dawn) every real morning.

We are quite good at local min-max because there is no global one.
Well, we are moving towards more statelessness in infrastructure, meaning the state is only stored in databases and the rest of the infrastructure does not (or should not) contain any state. So you can have immutable servers which you can replace and upgrade/downgrade at will with much less worry about state.

You still need to care about the databases but it is much more confined.
How about an option to just turn the damn things off all the time? Video should never play until I tell it to.
It isn't though.

I see some of this "just pop by" approach in my new neighborhood. Less than a year ago, I moved to an older neighborhood, where most of the houses are old. Most of the houses on my street are about 80 years old or older. All of the older ones, have front porches that extend the width of the house. People hang out on their porches and people walking by stop, sit down, and talk.

There are a few houses that were built about 20 years ago and they have a front porch barely wider than the front door.

The linked article is about the author actively changing their identity from FOSS dev to math researcher, and commenting about their identity of perfectionism. Entirely a commentary on the noun of identity, nothing on the verb of performing their identity.

Chrome word search finds 77 instances of the capital letter "I" followed by space. Its harder to search on verbs, the word "Do " appears 8 times but mostly in comments.

The subject of the post and discussion is personal identity, not personal actions or philosophy of action or whatever. It seems fair to bring up the OPs other identity posts, on the topics of politics or sexuality or whatever.

The post is an interesting mix of personal diary and social status signalling.
Great suggestion! The blog was based on a large portion of the book. A friend of mine asked for a version of the first chapter that was digestible for an audience that is in high-school to undergrad college level. I wrote this blog with that in consideration, while adding my own observations as well. I am planning to write up some python solutions for the MDP chapter as well. Thanks for reading :)

Did you know that every physical good sold is a pyramid scheme using your definition?

In the US, companies have product liability to correct defects for the lifetime of the product, subject to routine limitations. [1]

So companies create business models to compensate for this limitation.

Companies figured this out with software decades ago, so it’s certainly possible (eg, Microsoft).

If the additional arms appear late, my intuition is to use one algorithm for the old parts and one for the new arms, and a weighting factor to decide which model to use. This procedure can be generalized for generational partitions. For example you group the old arms into group A and the new arms in group B, and a bandit with two arms to decide which group to use, then inside each group you apply your favorite bandit algorithm, that is not a divide and conquer algorithm but has something in common. This is a hierarchical model.

Solar is a great solution for so many countries! In India, unfortunately, the governments audacious energy generation announcements for 2020 seem to be getting slowed down by its own bureaucratic hurdles (and possibly lobbying by big Energy corps).

Given the lower ppp of Indian consumers, the Solar panels still aren't cheap enough (add to it the cost of wiring/batteries/accessories) and the government isn't providing enough subsidy (especially on imports). I can only hope that some Silicon Wafer manufacturing lands in India soon; otherwise the Energy transition will take forever.

> it's not to trivial to state where exactly design constraints concerning build quality end and dynamics and handling start

Maybe I'm being overly simplistic here but I'd say if the finished product doesn't match the design then it's a build quality issue, whereas if it does match the design and it's still crap then that's a design issue.

Arguably if they end product doesn't match the design because the design isn't feasible to manufacture then that would also be a design issue.
I don't understand this reply, I'm not advocating pirating Sublime Text, I'm just pointing out that alternatives exist. It's not even a money problem (I've donated to support open source projects in the past) it's just that I consider my editor an extremely important tool that I've invested a lot of time learning and customizing. I've been using emacs as my main editor for about 15 years now and I can't really imagine working without it. And I don't have to, because being open source I know that it's not going to go away no matter what happens.

Your "think of the children" argument is frankly dishonest and completely besides the point. You make it sound like using open source software causes developers and their children to starve. Am I a bad person for running Linux too? Think of all these Windows devs who have to care for their sick spouses and children. That's ridiculous.

There is a couple of reasons for my choice. My main reason is that I have chosen to pursue a career in mathematics research. This is an extremely tough field and with this decision, I have no way of continuing my involvement in these very time consuming projects.

When I was a military wife, I did a lot of volunteer work. I had time on my hands, but not enough to pursue a serious career, and I didn't have a pressing need for earned income because my husband's career provided adequately for the family. Some military wives seem to have a third baby about the time the second one starts kindergarten or first grade. I volunteered. It kept me occupied and met some of my needs on a schedule I could sustain.

My kids grew up and I got divorced. My time constraints went down and my need for money went up. I began investing more time and effort in developing a career and income, less in doing volunteer work.

I think that is kind of the norm. People do this sort of thing when they have some time on their hands and volunteer work meets some need that isn't being met some other way in their life. Their life changes, they move on.

I wish more goodbyes were clearer about that. These types of posts are very often a rant about the rest of the world.
I think there are some misleading points in a hardware perspective at intro.

> That is, gone are the days of serial communication. In that sense, all communications between the CPU and peripherals is therefore asynchronous at a hardware level.

At a hardware level, 99.99% of modern peripherals are based on serial communication (e.g. USB, PCIe, I2C...), and these serial comminications are of course fully asynchronous. They implement concurrent communication at a higher level.

> Think of the simple case, where the CPU would ask the peripheral to read something, and it would then go in an infinite loop,

Many peripherals are logic blocks that doesn’t infinite loop internally. Infinite loop is a kind of software techniques and they don’t need to implement looping to do their job.
