The first thing you quoted says absolutely nothing about layout. But more importantly, layout might come up but it's not what the article is about and it does not use the term 'memory model' as a stand-in for layout.
Back then perceptrons (single neurons with engineered feature inputs) were a lot closer to cutting edge than they are now.

As for why Matlab was used a lot: because it comes "batteries included", I suspect. Probably the same reasons that Andrew Ng used it as the teaching language for his Stanford/Coursera Machine Learning course. Plus a lot of my lecturers had maths backgrounds.
Looks like they have some more work to do:

Cool that no one responded and I just got downvoted. Let me just say I openly laugh at anyone that thinks I have some implicit responsiblity or obligation to not modify the URL of a website I'm visiting. Actual laughter that someone would get indignant about that.

Making a more precise geolocation feature does not make them anything more than "a mobile app to connect drivers and potential customers". Perhaps a well made one (with fancy geolocation like in that article), but not more.

I believe the .Net world does its JITing based on a bytecode that is at the conceptual level a lot like web assembly. They're not the same, of course, but the point is you can JIT on that sort of thing OK. I won't promise you won't lose some performance, but there's other ways in which that might still be a long-term win as you may be able to gain in other ways relating to exploiting the language you start with. (In the long run, and to be honest even today, if you really deeply care about performance, you don't want a dynamic language. They're slow. We've invested crazy amount of effort into optimizing them, made tons of progress in that optimization vs where we started... and they're still slow. At this point smart money has to be put on that not changing.)

The unwillingness of people to start a nuclear exchange is exactly the plan. In the examples you speak of, common soldiers and technicians refused to launch the missiles. It's noteworthy that the idea of a full-scale thermonuclear exchange is so horrifying that even soldiers who assume they are already dead and have orders to launch still refuse. I think that speaks a lot about the inherent goodness of humanity, but that's a different story.

I know it came very close, but the assumption was that it would come to the brink yet nobody would want to go through with it and begin open aggression. Seems dubious and risky, but once again it worked. And let's not discount the negative risk--a conventional world war with the Soviet Union, China, the US and Britain would have been so terrible.

With such a small data set we should still be dubious, but I don't know if we can consign it merely to luck. I think it was a good plan. Terrible publicity, though. Nightmarish. But so is war.
Does that make any difference? It's not about intent, it's about what they want.
It's slower than Boost Context for sure, but still around 10x faster than (ab)using Pthreads on Linux. Until someone releases a faster standalone C library it's still the fastest portable solution for projects like Cixl that can't afford dragging C++ around.

Is the code readable without comments? The team that I am on tends to (at least attempt!) write verbose code with long variable and function names, to obviate the need for comments. We do use comments for pointing out particularly difficult pieces of code or code that exists in a specific way for a specific reason, but we tend to think that most comments that people write are unnecessary
Maybe so, I have no idea. I think they'd just hardened bunkers and go to war anyway. But really it doesn't matter; the genie is out of the bottle, so MAD is really the only plan available. Can't un-invent the bomb.

How do you know they are fully aware? May be they are not. I’ve been programming for almost 20 years and I’d never heard of PEP8 or PSR-2 until you mentioned them, granted I don’t do much python or php work.

May be the environment they are working on constricts them. May be they are pushed to deliver ASAP and given no time to think about maintainability because management doesn’t care about technical debt.

If you want higher standards drive it through by giving talks to your team and suggesting a style guideline be adopted to whoever the tech lead and introduce code reviews to ensure this adhered to.

My uncle is on the other side of the country, and is about as old school as the steam locomotive he's building. So unfortunately I'd have to call him, convince him to take photos (with film), develop them, and (snail) mail them to me.
You are missing the point. These are calculators designed specifically for the high school market, with the special, mandated by law, exam mode and restricted functions. Nobody else really needs one.

BTW, the Prime is $50 more expensive than this thing and doesn't have the exam mode -> illegal to use in exams in France, for ex.
You aren’t providing the service across the border. The service is in your own country. The buyer is using telecommunications to make an order across the border.

Here's the money quote:

"The team is also pursuing an experimental effort with Mercurial an open source DVCS similar to Git. The goal is to add scalability features to the Mercurial client so it can efficiently support a codebase the size of Google's. This would provide Google's developers with an alternative of using popular DVCS-style workflows in conjunction with the central repository. This effort is in collaboration with the open source Mercurial community, including contributors from other companies that value the monolithic source model."

Project that forward logically by two years.
Who said you couldn't have a hexagonal lattice? Instead of 8, every field has 6 neighbors. The only problem with that really is that you have to expect the 23/3 rule to look differently on that grid. So, no standard glider.
Penn Station consistently plays music but its not always classical or baroque music.

Contra the article I don't think it discourages anyone from loitering. The station is full of homeless people asking for money and late at night there's a very large number of folks sleeping in the hallways.

Much more its the armed guards stationed everywhere that prevent disturbances and remove people.

FWIW the characterization of the station as a haven for the rich is not particularly apt either. There are tens of thousands of commuters going through this station every day. Rich, poor, black, white, young and old, from all walks of life. Most of them are just hoping their train doesn't get cancelled so they can get home.
Conda dev lead here. Agreed that python has needed the pipenv concepts for a long time, even though they're not really all that novel in the world of software engineering. Bundler, npm, yarn, cargo, etc. have all cemented the two-file idea of environment descriptions. One file that is a minimal description of the environment, designed to maximize portability, and one file that is a maximal description of the environment, designed to maximized reproducibility. It's also long overdue for conda, and we'll be implementing the pattern soon. See https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7248.
They're novel. They are in unexpected places such as sidewalks, rather thank locked up like basically any privately owned bicycle. Depending on the neighborhood, there may be no car-shaped ads at all.
It may turn out to be a pretty small part, but history was made today :) keep it up, stuff like this is awesome! You may not be mathematicians and it may turn out this is nothing hugely new, but even so, the proof of such itself is interesting. keep up the cool work!

Thanks for an interactive version. Using this, you can check the examples that Anders pointed out in his comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17104624 -- for example, with n=20, see that row 17, column 8 does indeed have a red dot instead of black, which does not match the claimed pattern.

Thanks for the work on conda! For scientific / data science work it is a life saver.

The ideal is something like the practicality of npm/yarn but without the need for the endless tooling/config overhead of the nodejs ecosystem that makes everyone scared to eject create-react-app :)
I consider that first thing as data is laid out in more or less random [0] locations, with pointers between objects holding the whole thing together.

I guess we understand (memory) layout differently. How'd you define it?

I think (?) op was being sarcastic.
To be clear, I'm not arguing that it wasn't a horrible atrocity that completely destroyed many peoples lives, and and I'm not arguing that the genocide itself was in any way funny. The joke isn't that the event itself is funny, it's the absurdity of context in which the statement is being made that's funny.

I can't even count the number of comedy central stand-up specials I've seen that casually make jokes about absolutely horrific things that destroy lives. Jokes that play on children dying, slavery, the holocaust, rape, murder, pedophilia, torture, etc. I guarantee you that both you and I both know someone (or are one person removed, at most) that has had their lives destroyed by one of these things, or something of a similar caliber. Does that mean that none if these jokes can be funny, in any context? If so, I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find a single comedy special that counts as funny; virtually every comedy special I've seen makes light of one of these horrific things in some way.
It would be interesting to see more research into weaponized music. This article offers law-enforcement anecdotes that baroque period music is "the best", but there's a lot of other variables (like speaker quality and volume) that affect how grating music (of any kind) is.
It's open label, so we have no idea how much is due to the placebo effect (which is always large in studies with novel treatments like this, especially for depression).

> why should you be able to use the fruits of someone else’s labor for free?

Why not? I like the letter 'i'. Why do you get to use the letter 'i' for free when it is my favorite? Every time you use it without paying me, you deprive me of the potential profits that i could make licensing that usage. Why do you get to benefit from the heat my body gives off?

Anything that has infinite supply is going to have a low price (to free) price without artificial constraints. In this case the artificial monopoly is copyright. There is no scarcity, so gov't "regulates" and "distorts" the market to reward content creators. This is not a natural state.

I'm not against a well-balanced copyright system that actually encourages creation in exchange for a limited time monopoly.
I think it's a concise and appropriate title. Making electronics that will work on Venus is essentially designing for hell, with all the heat, pressure, corrosives, and who knows what else. And 14,000 Gs of acceleration? Wow. I've never heard of that happening in hell.

This one weird trick lets a microchip survive temperatures of 500C! Intel and heat sink manufacturers HATE this! That would be clickbait.

Oh no, you got me.

And since I've been caught talking nonsense let me explain how I (as an outsider) got these crazy ideas:

I overestimated complexity involved in creating smarts behind it, Siri and Bixby mislead me. Glad to know that google assistant and duplex are two absolutely different products and duplex is not a new feature on the same (often confused by the same words commands) foundation.

And I thought that due to all the complexity to create this original assistant/AI it would be high-level product where even in messed up corporation environments no duplicate efforts would slip through (we all know how dysfunctional big companies are, or maybe just because it's Google (they have multiple chat apps) that's the way how they approach all the initiatives). Of course I was wrong and they have multiple assistants being created. It's just a matter of having one more team tasked with it.

Those Apple and Samsung, looks like they're not even trying!

And about submission itself - it was an absolutely real call to suspecting nothing regular person, who just happened to talk in that particular way, similar to how I try to provide all the context when doing web searches (but funny thing is that it doesn't even matter - demo was not to make a call to real restaurant, it was just showing functionality being developed, they may have even put someone on scene to take a call, but decided to insist that demo call was absolutely regular one instead)

Anyway, I hope everybody is happy and not all worked up anymore, I was wrong on the internet, was put on my place and accepted that.

peace
I am not convinced that advancing over two different string buffers and comparing their contents - even with a variable amount of advance due to character encoding - would have a branch miss in it if programmed by a competent programmer in any language.

I am also not convinced that this problem can't be completely clobbered by SIMD, regardless of platform (x86 vs Neon) and language (Haskell, C, whatever).

A comparison of languages in this case for performance (outside the kiddy division) would either (a) center around which language could get the hell out of the way and let the programmer use intrinsics or (b) which language could actually allow the programmer to express SIMD concepts in a nice language-friendly way.

I have occasionally seen some pretty cool stuff from FP folks in the latter direction, which, if brought to production quality, would allow FP people to absolutely slaughter naive C code.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Space_1#Remote_Agent 20 years ago was meant to start developing the tech to avoid this kind of almost-disaster -- an early proposal for the project highlighted this scenario of falling into safe mode during a flyby. The aim was to go from preplanning each detailed motion to an adaptable AI working from a representation of mission goals, a plan to achieve them, and a model of the hardware. When things go wrong, it tries to diagnose the fault and repair the plan.

When every mission costs a zillion dollars and much of many people's careers, of course you're going to stick with the hardcoded scripts until you're really sure of the above tech, sadly.
Just Amazon’s or everyone’s? The mandate to deliver to everyone everywhere can’t be cheap. You have to wonder if they ever should have privatized them at all since they’re in a kind of limbo.
You don't know if it's laid out 'at random' because, again, the thing is not actually about layout.

I think you're getting a little hung up on this being 'wrong' and missing what the thing is trying to convey. Scroll down to the bits about SQL or hierarchal filesystems.

I think a critical approach you can try is that maybe these things are different in some important ways and perhaps that's why there is no obvious unified term that comes to mind to describe them and see where that takes you. 'Kragen confused some overarching abstraction he's trying to describe with "memory layout"' is likely neither true nor fruitful.
At that point there's no point in using JavaScript at all, anywhere, so that's a future I'd like to see.

Years of development have gone into making JavaScript in the browser really, really fast. If you re-implement a JS engine on top of WASM, you lose all of that work—unless you do something crazy like compile V8 into WASM, but then the client is going to have to download an enormous payload just to run your app.

Even if WASM had APIs for GC, interaction with the DOM and browser APIs, interop with JS, etc, you would still have to compile the JS ahead of time into a static binary, and so the browser would not be able to apply its JIT magic to your code.

I'm all for the dream of running any arbitrary language in the browser, but it's simply not realistic for any language that has a large runtime, which is most dynamic languages.
IIRC WebSockets has basically nothing to do with the way http2 is handled, and websockets are still going over a simple HTTP1.1 Connect/Upgrade. What is the connection between websockets and http2?
But if data scientist is the sexiest job of the 21st century, and everyone's going to need one or more, there won't be enough PhD's to go around. Someone's going to have to "take a chance" on the lesser degreed or risk falling behind their competitors that have data scientists of some effectiveness.
Maybe he's stuck in the sunk costs fallacy.

I've also heard that Tim Draper is an old family friend of Holmes; perhaps that is clouding his judgement.

Plain text passwords are a poor security practice, not fraud per se.

There’s no sense it was intentional, nor that any customers were impacted.

I used the Adobe example since 38 million customers had personal information exfiltrated in 2013 (including me).

Adobe knew better (or should have). But that still is not fraud.

They have enhanced their security practices since then, and I am still a customer of theirs.

It may be understandable, but the prevailing attitude towards type I vs type II errors in tech industry hiring certainly makes me less sympathetic to claims that “we can’t find anyone to hire” and therefore governments should enact policies X,Y,&Z. If they are choosers they ought not to go begging.
