That’s probably the next step (the authors raise the question of the identity of the implicated RNA). Transcriptome profiling (which this is) has become extremely routine recently.

Scenario: a well-placed middle manager has a mid-life crisis and authorizes a skunkworks project to have an AI surreptitiously replace them while they travel the world. When other managers discover this, they demand their own AI surrogates rather than reporting the scheme to the C-suite. When this is eventually exposed, FB collapses in a firestorm of controversy, only for its investors to quietly start a bunch of new companies intentionally based on AI management.

Off-topic but relating to GDPR.

In business there's this maxim that the only constant is change and its corolary that flexibility and adaptability is key.

Morals and consumer privacy aside, every time I see a company trashing GDPR I see a company set in their ways, a company too tired to adapt. It's (probably) not that they have a rigorous and rational framework for evaluating what changes are good or bad for the world, but instead they're just tired or afraid of change and would rather be left alone.
Conversely, it's unethical for a company of Apple's size to fail to cater to its user base in a way that would make something like a Hackintosh desirable. It's not like they don't have the money to support its userbase.
Anecdotally, I know a lot of programmers who use hedge words to soften their code reviews. So I think you might be on to something here.
The images are actually not that degraded. There's a large amount of colour noise when amplified, but there's plenty of detail. Photographers can pull stuff out of shadows all the time, but properly fixing noise is a pain in the backside.

For example: http://web.engr.illinois.edu/~cchen156/SID/examples/book.htm...

What this net seems to be much better at is identifying which parts of the image are a result of noise and what the true intensity is. I'd love to see this used in astrophotography.

Remember that RAW data is generally more than 8-bits of dynamic range and image sensors are quite sensitive. You might not be able to tell the difference between 0-5 counts on an 8-bit image, but at 12-bit that's 60 counts difference.

I did some work during my PhD on laser spot detection in images (12-bit mono in my case). Even when I set the camera exposure down to several thousandths of a second, in a dark room, you could almost always recover some/all of the structure (tables, other objects, calibration patterns, etc).

EDIT: If I were a reviewer on this paper I would ask for histograms of the input/output images, or at the very least something like mean counts in the image. 1/30s at 0.1 lux - great, do you know how many counts that is on the arbitrary sensor that was used? I sure don't. You could check this in the supplementary data, but it's an annoying omission in the paper.

I'm much in the same boat as you (haven't built a hackintosh but contemplating).

Its more than just being "lax" though, their product vision has fundamentally changed under Cook. What they've done to the MacMini is a perfect example:

Around 2013/14 they saw that Mac Mini's were becoming powerful enough to start syphoning off market from Mac Pros (not in video world, but in music production world). So, Cook did what "operation types" do...hobbled the MacMini and released a slew of upgraded iMacs to reach a higher price point.

The days are gone where Apple designs "the best product possible", now its largely devices to tick boxes in a marketing feature matrix. While operationally it seems clever -- even logical -- it does ultimately undermine the brand long-term.

Yes! Speaking as a sysadmin who writes Go tools from time to time along with a lot of Bash, Ruby, etc, I’m no expert in the land of Go. But in terms of designing my code to be shareable and figuring out how to integrate it with other source code I deal with every day is a mess. dep had seemed a very promising direction, and so I’m really frustrated to see it’s been deprecated and we are still seemingly years out from a solution which may not even work well in the end. Quite honestly the situation is actively holding back Go, as it’s very hard to convince developers used to lock files and well defined packaging to build anything in a language with no official story on this, even after a decade. Go is rapidly losing the momentum it had for a while now that Rust is starting to become a more stable target and given Go’s inability to address package versioning.
There's been work (in a related field) to "stabilize" the jitter in consecutive frames. As you say, by taking into account the neighboring frames.

Relevant excerpt from [1]:

“If you just apply the algorithm frame by frame, you don’t get a coherent video — you get flickering in the sequence,” says University of Freiburg postdoc Alexey Dosovitskiy. “What we do is introduce additional constraints, which make the video consistent.”

Yes, it's a many-to-one.

Ignoring optical aberrations and losses from the lens, there's always additive noise that does not depend on the number of photons incident on the sensor. That could be dark/thermal noise, noise in the readout electronics, noise coupled in from external RF sources, etc. You could expose the detector with exactly the same number of photons 1000 times and get 1000 different images.
I agree. Nice to have free coffee though.

There are macOS VMs available VMware Workstation, but they don't support graphics acceleration, making them pretty much unusable for more than very basic tasks.

>Bash is the only shell scripting language permitted for executables.

Whelp, wrong right off the bat.

I'm gonna get down my my knees here and beg everyone reading: use POSIX shell. Do not write scripts with bash. Do not write scripts with zsh. Do not write scripts with fish. Use POSIX shell.

sh has a really bad interactive mode (so does bash), so I'm not gonna give anyone a hard time for using another shell as their day-to-day interactive shell. But, for the love of god, write your scripts with POSIX sh.
I’ve actually seen this happen. It’s terrifying.

> There's no reason to rush things now.

Golang is hurting right now because of this issue. In fact this and the lack of a canonical GUI approach are the only two caveats I have when suggesting the use of Go.

I'm not saying to rush, but the constant churn in this space needs to end as soon as it can. For a language with as much of a focus on simplicity and stability as Go, it's embarrassing that this has been an issue for so long.

I have been using Go professionally[0] starting sometime between 1.1 and 1.4 and in that time I have something like 4-5 different ways of handling dependencies in my repositories based on when those projects were started and/or last overhauled. Each time I changed my approach I was following the current best practices, or so I believed. It's madness, and it has to end sometime.

[0]: Started playing with it in 2009, in fun projects I'll use whatever works and/or is fun and/or gets the job done soonest. In professional projects I'm much slower to adopt new tools.

First, these regulations aren't new and if you've been remotely compliant with European privacy laws in the last decade, these aren't a massive step forward. With regards to these specific ideas you cite, any company that gives an iota of a shit about its users already does all of these things. I can't even call this a security fundamental, it's just basic respect.

It's odd to me that, in the lead up to GDPR, so many people are making these exact same FUD-like arguments on the exact same kinds of questions, worded in remarkably similar English (down to agreeing that the law could be a good thing), on a variety of social sites. It makes me wonder if I'm watching a foreign power trying to undermine the EU.

> In the past few months, data protection experts and company owners alike have been racking their brains as to how to implement the details entailed by those requirements.

If this is true, they're not experts. Or rather, they're the kinds of experts who say they're experts on Twitter. Nothing in GDPR is particularly complicated.

The only thing I'd quibble with is the recommendation of [[ ... ]] over [ ... ], because shell programmers used to [ will be surprised that [[ "foo" == "f*" ]] does pattern matching. But that is more or less an arbitrary style preference.

One thing I'm curious about is whether Google machines have followed Debian etc. in making /bin/sh a faster non-bash shell, or if /bin/sh is bash.
I've never seen this guide before today but skimming through I absolutely love it. It aligns with my exact bash scripting style. Everything from the variable and function naming rules, stderr logging, pipeline indentation, and even having a "main () { ...}" wrapper and invocation. It's almost creepy!
But washing up will cut in to the private profits of the owners, that's why it's not offered.

> concrete information (tasks, location, level, tech/tools, salary, business sector, team size...).

If location isn't implied the only reason you wouldn't give it is bad recruiting practices in your case. Salary/Tasks/Team Size could be changing pretty rapidly for startups and an external recruiter might not have the up to to date info. Companies do a bad job at investing in their external recruiting process. FWIW, I always provide company name, location, tech/tools, a hook about why I like them, and if I can find it a hook about the candidate.

> But that's the point: a phone call is a pretty big effort I think.

Switching jobs is a pretty big effort overall. A lot of engineers who are willing to take the step of taking a call are generally thinking about leaving or actively looking. For strong recruiters the message is just the hook. If you're able to find a few trusted tech recruiters you can use throughout your career it makes the overall search a lot easier every time. It's like finding the all-star real estate agent when you're buying a home. There are a lot of bad recruiters so in your case, it's more likely you haven't found a strong recruiter to work with yet.

Conspiracy theory: Follow the money and you will usually find that the staffing firm or consultancy has a "good old boys" relationship with the employer. I've seen it personally, but I don't buy in to the idea that it's pervasive or even occuring more than 20% of the time.

Of course, in the world of sales, those relationships can form quickly. Even if you've never heard of me and my staffing firm, I can present you tickets to a concert or golf tournament, or something similar, and win (buy) favor fairly easily.

Most of these middleman staffing firms are not really differentiated from one another. They find a client and leech on to it.
The sample size was pretty small and the difference in average was small too. I do not know if this warranted an article on the Economist.

This reminds me of some of the points that Nassim Taleb makes in his books "Skin in the Game" and "Fooled by Randomness". In "Skin in the Game" warns against scientists studying humans in controlled environments and how its not relevant to how humans behave when they have skin in the game. Sort of like, you reveal to me your believes by what stocks you buy or what actions you take. And in "Fooled by Randomness" he talks about how we make out patterns of out randomness.
The problem I have with his comment isn’t directly about the question of whether the video is “good” or “bad”. It’s with the fact that the comment seems partly designed to slap the face of the person he’s responding too, by starting it out with the world “actually”. He instantaneously implies that only his opinion is objectively correct, i.e. the “actual” truth, and that, therefore the poster he’s replying to is some idiot living in a fantasy world who obviously can’t discern actual quality. And all that was done to get that reprimand was express some appreciation for a free video which he learned something from. I must admit that I do wonder whether this kind of behavior, which I feel occurs far too often, is primarily a way a for person of low self-esteem to feel better about himself at someone else’s expense, from the safety of the internet. Or am I being too harsh here?

Hong Kong, being the entrance to China as it once was, and arguably still is; the perfect stop to set up DC without the Chinese Firewall. There are many multinational and even some Mainland Chinese company HQ in HK. Hong Kong Stock exchange is still one of the largest stock exchange on the planet. Not to mention there is a nearly fixed exchanged rate between HKD and USD.

And in Reply to Google and AWS coming, they have been preannoucned and later postponed or canceled. So until they are actually up I am not putting too much faith into it. AWS wanted to set up in HK long time ago and due to whatever reason never started. Google purchased land in HK 5 years ago for building DC and later ( I think ) sold it off.

OVH came to HK in hope to establish its Asia DC, and due to some insane stupidity this is now in Singapore. Cloudflare could have had the Asia HQ in HK, and now it is in Singapore again. The point is, literally every single one turn to HK first and was hoping to start and do great here. HK lets them down every single time.
