>Prime95 with AVX throttles really, really fast, under a minute, perhaps, but is a very unrealistic load

I suppose blender would thermal throttle the cpu as well. If you run any non-Xeon/non-Laptop Intel chip (greater than 2k series) and care about temperatures - delid the bugger. (Xeons are soldered, laptop chips don't have IHS). Intel uses something that's worse than toothpaste, plus tons of glue between the die and the IHS. If you see temperature deltas under full load more than 9-10C between the cores, the thermal paste between the die and the IHS might have missing spots or have dried out.
In your case removal of the IHS altogether would provide decent results.

You might wish to check the VRMs, they are rated at 125C but if the case is hellishly hot inside, they might not be able to dissipate the heat.
My Amazon account was compromised, along with 2 other college alums' accounts
My Amazon account was hacked today - someone managed to change the email address associated with my account (I use my college alumni forwarding address for this and most public websites). I found out through the email they sent me that said my email address had been changed (to DarrenMaureeneDj@yahoo.com, fwiw). I called Amazon at their included 800 number as soon as I saw the email (~30 min after it had been sent). I didn’t try to login because I thought for sure the hackers had also changed the password, but they hadn’t, and I was able to reset the email/change password, etc. Fortunately nothing was purchased.

The frustrating thing is I had a very secure password (20-char, auto-generated), and 2FA turned on, but that apparently didn’t help. I did have my and my wife’s cells associated with my account; I removed her cell and I should probably remove mine too. I suspect social engineering via a poorly-trained Amazon customer service rep. This is the first time I can recall I’ve been hacked like this.

I mentioned this to some other alumni and two people said the same thing happened to them - strong passwords; 2FA turned on. Hs this happened to anyone else recently?
> Everyone lies

I am clueless about certain things and perhaps this is one of them... but really? Outright lies of pure red-handed snake-oil fiction?

Surely there must be a line between the "HR speak" most must sing along to and reality that does not qualify as pure uncut straight-up lies.

Help me understand what you mean.
I think the practical barrier in the way of this is that one of the main ways the NSA “invents” new Suite A ciphers is by the cryptanalysis of cryptosystems of foreign militaries. The “defending the US” job is a consequence of the “attacking others” job; the crypto experts got to be crypto experts by breaking rival crypto.

This is also, in large part, why these cipher suites are classified—not because declassifying them would make them easier to cryptanalyze; but because it would tip off foreign powers that the US knows how their crypto works!

(And this is, of course, just as true of other weapons-systems development projects as it is of state-run cryptosystem developments.)
> The instruction set is similar but not identical, and there's no exposed memory bus.

Actually, there are a number of offerings in the coldfire v2/v3/v4family with decent performance and external buses including PCI, 10/100 ethernet, USB, ATA, and CAN with DDR memory and parallel bus interface.

I'm doing some fluid simulation (CFD), and the actual code for finite differences is simple. But the analysis (of stability etc) is more mathy, and I don't feel confident reading other needed papers, because they are couched in math.

I mean, I can and have coded it, but can't be sure how it how it will behave in all situations.

So I can understand these papers, I'm going back to study math properly. I'm not fully convinced it's really needed (though how could I tell?), but I'm fully convinced it's needed to understand the papers.

Math is the latin of CFD.
Most people are familiar with JS, not a lot of people have experience with Haskell or OCaml, or F# (Otherwise, they wouldn't really find any of this useful.)

And to the point... how would one go about taking "Imperative Haskell" Code and making it more functional... you can't. Either you write Haskell functionally or whatever you wrote will refuse to compile. I love this book and the Egghead.io videos that followed. I love this guide and the egghead.io videos. That content made me curious about Haskell and Tacit Programming.
Very interesting comments. Yes absolutely want to do comparisons to ELMo. It's a little tricky to do so on our datasets, since ELMo isn't really a complete method on its own, but more an addendum to existing methods. In the future we hope to do seq2seq and sequence labeling studies, and we can then ensure we pick datasets that the ELMo paper covered.

Using char tokens can definitely be helpful, as can sub-words. It's something we've been working on too, and hope to show results of this in the future.

I mainly disagree with your view of end-to-end training. In computer vision we pretty much gave up on trying to re-use hyper-columns without fine-tuning, because the fine-tuning just helps so much. It's really no trouble doing the fine-tuning - in fact the consistency of using a single model form across so many different datasets is really convenient and helpful for doing additional levels of transfer learning.

Thanks for the note about table 7 - it's actually an error (it should be 5.57, not 4.57; Sebastian is in the process of uploading a corrected version).
It's necessary for you when the other side has decided to engage in it against you. The fact that it was technically "unnecessary" for them to start the war in the first place is rather irrelevant when they're marching down your street. The decision about whether there's going to be a war, necessary or not, has been made for you.

If you don't believe me, I'm sure there's a Kurd somewhere who would be amused to hear your theories about why their fight against ISIS is "unnecessary".
Similar to how people say that transgender folks don’t ever pass. It’s not that, it’s that you only notice the ones who don’t.
That would certainly be one of them.
Yup, if the company is big, call or email the "front desk" or 411 number of whatever and ask to talk to that specific person. There are about a zillion ways to do this properly and the poster did none of them, sheer amateur hour.
I'm not sure - what you're describing is information extraction. I haven't tried that yet, but I'm certainly interested in doing so (especially for medical data).
When I travel overseas, I tend to just use a credit card.

It's usually cheaper than withdrawing from an ATM, where you pay a currency conversion fee as well as an extortionate withdrawal fee.

Tipping is generally not done in Europe and a lot of the rest of the world like it is in America, so that's not an issue.

It depends on what country you visit, but in a lot of developed countries, you could do a trip there without needing cash at all. I know that it's certainly possible in Australia or New Zealand.
It's easy to spot this Catfish even without any personal connections at Acme Corp.

When Catfish provides Jim @ Acme Corp as a reference, but with a non-Acme Corp address for Jim, then that's a huge red flag. You either:

1. Reply with "Please provide Jim's Acme Corp work email address." Catfish won't be able to. The end.

2. Call Acme Corp front desk and get Jim's real phone number. Call Jim.

3. Find Jim's real email on Acme Corp's website. Email Jim.
I can’t check my email on my Kindle or my car.

Maybe cut to the chase: what specific capability is an iPhone lacking that every “real computer” has?
I've received a mistaken "please come in for an interview" email intended for someone else. The recruiter was embarrassed when I illuminated the error. I enjoyed knowing I was "not selected to proceed", even if it was by mistake vs the usual silence.
When you use the word disingenuous, you invited the response you got. Totally uncalled for to write that.

His response on your employer was likely driven by an assumption that you viewed this as free, open source competition to your product, and thus the negative comment.

To the OP:.
I've find a lot of NLP, and this is phenomenal work.
Affordable housing is a symptom, not an issue. The basic issue is that living in a nice city falls prey to basic supply and demand curves.

The unit of supply is not the house itself, but everything that's included within a city - opportunity, lifestyle, family, friends, food, etc. These things are subjective to each individual, but have some universal similarities (ie: people generally prefer more opportunity to less).

The population of demand is theoretically the entire world, and more practically, the body of people that wants to live in that city due to opportunities and lifestyle. Just speculating, I'd estimate demand to live in a nice city is much greater than the population by 10 or 100x.

When supply is short and demand is not, you reach equilibrium at the point where only the people who can afford to live there do. "Afford" is subjective too, as some people are willing to pay much more in terms of rent and lifestyle sacrifices. In the case of SV, since wages are still extremely high, I think the cost of housing will still increase. It will squeeze the middle class lifestyle heavily (if its not doing so already).

If you want to look at a mature housing market in the dystopian sense of the word, visit Hong Kong. An abundance of high paying finance jobs, low income taxes, and a crazy amount of powerful real estate investors made HK some of the most expensive housing in the world. But finance is no longer growing, real estate is squeezed of its profits, and the affordability of housing in HK is in serious crisis. Haven't lived here for too long, but it seems that lifestyle has been constantly compromised (small houses, live with your parents forever) by the expensiveness of housing. Or that affording your own house is actually a luxury, not a basic human right (depends on your perspective).

Is there a long term solution? Quite simply, not unless we dramatically think of cities differently than we do currently. Fixed housing costs doesn't solve the basic situation that a city is a very attractive place to live, and that many people would like to move there if they could.

Housing cost is currently the way of deciding who gets to live there, and what they're willing to give up for it.
It's been decades since "writing a 1000 line script" was best done in shell, if there ever was a time. Someone with that much experience ought to be a very senior engineer.

I sometimes think this is why we don’t see any intelligent civilizations out there. Intelligence gives rise to deceitfulness and eventually, one selfish actor can bring down an entire civilization intentionally or unintentionally since the weapons get so powerful.
I appreciate and largely agree with what you've said, but I think you're neglecting a context where there's an NDA or similar involved, which is what I assumed was meant by "even vaguely sensitive". As far as I know, there's no legitimacy to someone who's signed an NDA somehow sublicensing that NDA without the explicit approval of the issuer of the original agreement.

Hmm, reading an article about a flat earther gathering on Ars, I wondered if some of these flat earther weren't crooks who wanted to steal the other: after all by declaring 'I believe that the earth is flat' you're also saying "I'm a gullible idiot"..
When you buy a product like a Windows RT device, you don't just expect it to be supported, you expect it to be part of a growing ecosystem of products and services. That is not what happened with Windows RT. The fact it was dropped so quickly shows it was very half-baked, despite how long it may be supported.

It's too late to update my original comment, but here are the fastest 128-bit key implementations of AES, Simon, and Speck for the AVR processor according to the CryptoLUX group at the University of Luxembourg:

AES>
code: 2588 bytes;
RAM: 208 bytes;
encrypt: 2835 cycles

Simon>
code: 972 bytes;
RAM: 200 bytes;
encrypt: 1793 cycles

Speck>
code: 1426 bytes;
RAM: 132 bytes;
encrypt: 997 cycles

The differences look insignificant. Code size and RAM requirements are in bytes (not megabytes). In fact, AES might be faster than Simon because the AES encrypts a 128-byte block whereas both Simon and Speck encrypt a 64-byte block; therefore you'd have to encrypt two Simon blocks to get the equivalent of one AES encryption.

Since when were government departments and think tanks legitimate means of truth seeking? Some, sure, and at some times.

But on the whole you can practically guarantee both of those methods will be primarily PR mechanisms, and / or used for the advancement of those who control them.

In the Air Force, I went to school to learn how to repair and maintain an 18 bit Hewitt-Rand mainframe computer in 1988. It was a four month course taught at Tyndall AFB near Panama City Beach, Florida.

At the time, I was an Amiga fan, and I had this manual. I was totally blown away at how nearly identical the architecture of the M68000 was compared to that mainframe. Imagine my thinking that my Amiga 500 had the equivalent of a room-sized mainframe in that chip!
Bite mark evidence is fine... if what you’re trying to prove is whether the bite came from a human or an animal. It doesn’t do much more than that.

There are a lot of forensic analyses like that: you can’t really use them to pinpoint a suspect; but they’re great at proving that a whole class of suspects couldn’t have been responsible.

The real problem with police is the thought process that leads to playing Guess Who with suspects. Only one person of interest has no alibi, and can’t be excluded? They must have done it then, even if we have literally no proof positive that they did, and have no idea what the evidence in favour of all the people we haven’t looked at yet would be.

Bloomberg excels at many things, but most of all it squarely nails the UX for users who're getting things done for a living. I really miss my BB keyboard; but I'm happy to still enjoy the Bloomberg font in my regular Unix terminal.
In some cases, packing data structures with no alignment is more important because it means more data fits in the cache, and cache misses are extremely slow in comparison.

Modern x86 is mostly insensitive to data alignment, since it fetches internally in cacheline-sized blocks (I believe it's 64 bytes) and a very wide barrel shifter is used to access the desired bytes. There's a tiny (single-digit cycles) extra time when the element straddles two cachelines (assuming both lines are in cache)

As any company grows, I’d argue that solidifying their identity becomes increasingly more important. Hence, a custom typeface they can use to distinguish the brand.

Well said. As a hypothetical non-technical recipient of an email newsletter, I'd probably disagree that such tracking is essential. Personally, I just use the service so I don't have to manually send emails when I post new articles. The tracking doesn't interest me much.

Simply because the industry has molded the competitive landscape in such a way that tracking can be deemed "essential" does not, in my mind, make their behavior and actions immune from consent. But, I don't doubt that they could make that argument and win.
There's even wild differences between macroorganisms
on Earth.

Invertebrates are much more relaxed about number of eyes etc.

We can go from "humans are the optimal form!", to "well, some kind of mammal", "c'mon, it's got to be a vertebrate", then get into the Cambrian experiment, go back further to different DNA (RNA anyone), then to different metabolic pathways, then to different organic biochemistry, then to non-carbon... and why should life have a chemical basis, anyway? So chemocentric.

How can we tell when he go from too anthropocentric to too anti-anthropocentric? We have guesswork only. We're like a child rebelling against its parents.

It seems to me, that elephants, dolphins, parrots, octipuses, and even spiders could have undergone the rapid brain-size increase that happened to some apes. (We don't even know why it happened to us.) They might still do so, in a few million years.
This reminds me of something I read once in a book about false memories. 90% of psychotherapy is based on the idea that examining and talking about your experiences is helpful, but that's really just an assumption. There are some situations where it is predictably and categorically false. There are many others where it might be true but remains unproven. Debating is kind of the same way. We believe that at least some forms of vigorous debate will lead to "best of both" understanding or solutions, but can any of us prove that?
Why? Doesn't the math stand on its own? Not accepting a sound proposal from a "nobody" is just as bad as accepting the NSA's because people think they're an authority on the matter. Isn't math supposed to be better than this?
We've had a lot of press this week about the police here in New Zealand rolling out similar stuff - really we need to have a wide ranging public discussion on the issues around this stuff before it's done, sadly the police have largely been doing this under the radar.

My take is that - yes we should have this stuff, but with the following caveats:

1) it only get loaded with the faces of people for whom there is an active warrant out there - ie you need a judge to sign something

2) all data collected that is not relevant should be discarded asap (including false positives the moment you know they are false)

3) you don't deploy something like this until the false positive rate is appropriately low, for everyone - it has to be able to deal equally to people of different races, genders, haircuts, with and without beards, makeup, hats, helmets, zinc oxide sunscreen, green St Paddy's day faces, actual smurfs etc etc all the diversity of normal street life
The author seems lost in this article. It seems she's just seems frustrated that parts of human nature extends itself in the free market of ideas. Everything is about persuasion and winning. That's life...and it extends itself into the exchange of ideas. However you need this exchange to drive meaningful change...and you can only fool people for so long if you don't have logic and reason on your side. So I don't really understand what the author is driving at. I guess they are upset certain arguments they don't like are winning...which isn't really an argument at all.
