Thank you for the great feedback, a lot of things are indeed planned to enhance the dashboard as well as the cli in terms of search, filtering, and ordering of the experiments based on some rule, e.g. parameters or metrics.

Also, some of your, and other users', feedback were also very helpful to bring some changes to the infrastructure for the next release, to maximize the usage of the cluster's resources.

> I suspect that it's too difficult for the systems to accurately determine whether an upcoming object is actually in the lane. It's not uncommon to pass stationary vehicles parked on the side of the road. If you're approaching those vehicles along a curve, they might seem like they're in the road to a radar sensor even when they're not. I can see why it's a hard problem: attempting to detect these probably leads to too many false positives.

This dilemma is only really bad for a passive system. For a system that's actively steering, it can make a committed decision to curve, so that even if it misjudged the obstacle it still won't crash.

It doesn't hurt to slow down for a predicted near-miss either, as you get close to it.

> Still, you would think that there would be some threshold where the car decides, "Hey, this stationary obstacle is right in front of me. I should slow down"

Yeah. There's a big difference between "obstacle might be in the way" and "obstacle is definitely in the way".
The real problem is that finance has got itself included inside the production barrier when really, a lot of what it does is charge outsize fees (e.g. vc and pe) and should really be considered rent-seeking.
Hi, I am the author of Polyaxon, a bit late to notice, but thanks for sharing Polyaxon here. I will be around to answer questions, and any feedback is welcome.
Since banks can borrow deposits from other banks, the central government has essentially no control over the lending of an individual private bank (there are also capital ratios, but that's a soft target since banks can increase their capital without receiving any more deposits). Since central banks are mandated to hit a target interest rate by injecting more money into the economy every time the interbank lending rate starts to rise (i.e. every time the banking sector in aggregate wishes to lend out in excess of its loan deposit ratio), they are also unable to limit the quantity of money in the economy without abandoning their interest rate target.

In the medium term, central banks exert some control over the level of money in an economy by raising and lowering target interest rates to change the cost of expanding the money supply to people borrowing from private banks. And of course they also have the power to change policies which directly or indirectly affect bank lending. But they don't, under current institutional arrangements, have any direct control over the amount of money created or destroyed by net changes in bank lending.
Most of the “software” mentioned in the post, are actually services (slack, zoom, tidal, etc). For many people, it is easier to accept to pay for a service rather than software.

While I do use paid services, I usually “pay” (donate) for free and open source software. Why? It helps me get my work done, support is usually good, I set the price and I know that people who aren't as fortunate as I (being able to afford to buy software) can use it for free and get the same opportunities as me. :)
Designers have portfolios. Would you do them away as "advertisements" as well? They are much more than that, e.g. they show the skills of the designer.
> The author makes a valid point, however the pushback against using OSS as an important hiring signal, is that most people are not privileged with enough spare time to work on OSS outside of their day job.

Like most people I know, I use open source software in my day-to-day job even though I work in a company who provides proprietary software and services.

That means that when I do encounter errors or bugs in those open source components and libraries I can make the choice to either write workarounds locally in my code, or I can choose to submit patches back upstream.

That’s not a matter of privilege. That’s a matter of choice.

I also think it’s reflective of a developer’s attitude: does he prefer things done “properly”, or will he just hack together something which works? Will he share his solutions or not?
Dull and Uncertain: Life
No, sorry. We are building our appliance. We are using Ubuntu as a base.
I'm told by a lot of experts that this is a bad idea

That probably means it's a good idea ;)

Full reserve banking isn't quite what is being voted on here, but if it were to be implemented it wouldn't be so different to what Switzerland already has.

I have a Swiss account with UBS. Interest payments on my accounts are effectively zero. Not quite zero but so close it makes no odds. I am happy about this because the SNB is actually trying to force interest rates negative - like most banks, UBS is shielding me from negative interest rates (i.e. direct confiscation of savings) using its own profit margin.

However, the issue remains that I get no yield on my money. Or, no, wait, actually I do, because my banks also offers many different kinds of investment funds with high degrees of liquidity, transparency about what they do, their performance and their different degrees of risk. So I put a big chunk of my money into these sorts of funds (and yes yes, I know, there are better funds out there, I don't only use UBS).

I think this approach is better for two reasons:

1. It's always clear how much of my money is effectively risk-free deposits, and how much is "working at risk".

2. It divorces retail banking services from investment services. For instance if I happen to like a banks customer service, e-banking portal, mobile app, credit card offerings or whatever, I can benefit from those, without needing to take it as a bundle with perhaps riskier lending practices.

The low risk funds I use are mostly short-medium term loans to Swiss business, but I could invest in mortgage funds if I wanted to.

It seems to me that if all banks in Switzerland had to go full reserve, then it'd mean relatively little change for people like me. Some bank customers who don't explicitly invest their money would now have to, if they didn't want to lose yield, but inflation in Switzerland is quite low so I suspect some people would be happy with just knowing their money is where they left it and is going to stay there. Investment isn't for everyone.

I don't understand your tone here. The Devuan project is ~150 packages on top of Debian that aim specifically to remove the systemd dependencies. "Init freedom lovers", as you put it, can still use Debian, no?
Yes, and the one of women drops below the one of men, and that's clearly what the initial reference to the paper was talking about.

As @syllogism said, you can use any framework/library to train your models.

The emphasis is on FOR YOU, so you don't have to do it, which is a good thing IMO.
pledge(2) on OpenBSD is used to drop the privileges of a process. Processes are meant to call pledge(2) to drop their own privileges. The way pledge(2) works is that the system calls of that process get limited. If a process calls a system call outside the allowed range after calling pledge(2), it gets killed. Starting with OpenBSD 6.3, it is also possible to configure pledge to make the kernel return ENOSYS instead of killing the process when violating the pledge.

For example:

/* Only the system calls required
* for the standard I/O library and
* for accessing /dev/tty are allowed
* by the kernel from this point on.
*/
pledge("stdio tty", NULL);

The second argument is the execpromises, i.e., the pledges enforced for child processes. This does not need to be specified if you pledge in a way that does not include any way of spawning a new process.

What's new in the slides linked is unveil(2). This seems to be used to limit the exact paths a process can access and with what access flags (rwxc).

Why not?

Was the last global financial crisis not caused by idiotically lax lending conditions, made possible by - amongst other things - the fact that loans were far too abundant and cheap? And that was in turn because banks can lend deposits without blocking access to that same money by the depositors?

If the loan supply was significantly tightened, this would be "bad for the economy" in the sense that there'd be less economic activity. However that's not inherently a bad thing. Digging holes in the ground and filling them up again is economic activity, but it's still a waste of time.
Saving accounts work like that in many countries (higher interest rates, limited withdrawals).
>If a bank just writes £5 in your bank account, they've created that £5. There is no corresponding £5 that has been removed from somewhere else, unlike when you or I extend a loan.

If they loan me £5, but I leave the £5 in my account, then it counts as loan, but it also counts as a deposit. So their loans can never exceed their deposits.

Inflation of the money supply allows governments to finance war[1]. Reducing inflation would have the opposite effect. It would lead to greater savings, which would lead to lower interest rates, which would lead to more investment, which would lead to more productivity, prosperity, and wealth.

Weather is probably one of the easier problems to tackle. Sure, performance will be worse in a snowstorm, but that's true of humans too. Waymo has already showed they can filter out snowflakes. Maybe it wouldn't work in white-out conditions, but in that case, again, humans also can't really drive.

The more complex things that can happen in urban areas though, yeah that's hard. All kinds of weird shit can happen that takes social understanding to know how to deal with. Right now it looks like for those situations Waymo is relying on remote "coaches" that tell the cars what to do at a high level (guidance, but not directly control).

Income tax is based on income earned, capital gains is based on a sale of a asset. There is definitely a difference.
It would apply to current accounts only (not saving accounts) which represent quite less that half the total loan supply.
If I read correctly the idea is not to do away with repos but rather not using that as the single signal.

Just like you shouldn't exclude any companies just because they don't advertise.
The Swiss Government going on a war-declaring spree using loans from private banks is not a credible threat to the Swiss economy.

Massive instability in the lending market and a higher average cost of borrowing because of frequent short term credit crunches as the money supply is delinked from borrower demand is.
I don’t code much in my spare time. I have kids and a busy home life, but really it doesn’t take long to build up a portfolio of work that is representative of your skills.

Sharing my work got me, as an Aussie working mediocre jobs, on the right person’s radar to help me land a job at Facebook. This shaved probably 10 years off my career path. That was a great return on investment and a big leveller for someone who didn’t study at a brand name US college and have an obvious path to the door of a major tech company.

I’m now in a position to hire others. I certainly don’t mind if someone doesn’t have open source code shared. It clearly not a priority for many people. But I do appreciate when people do have a good backlog of work to show as it can give a seemingly lacklustre candidate a second opportunity to shine.
Clicking the launch simulator button took me to a pretty convincing scam page saying I’d won an iPhone X, only shipping needs to be paid.

The equivalent of open-source for research?
I am a student graduating with MEng CS degree. During my early college years I found that I could grow by spending my free time by contributing to open-source projects. In the last few years, I became interested in AI research. However, I (apparently) was not experienced enough to land an industry research position or a PhD. Now I am stuck with a standard software development job that I have to do in order to support myself. I want to devote all my free time to doing AI research so that I hopefully manage to enter a PhD program or get a research-related job. However, research is very different from developing open-source code - there are not projects that you can simply join and you often need some guidance from an experienced senior researcher. Any suggestions how I can spend my time best?

The proposal is to prevent money in current accounts from being lent. If you had £5 in your current account, this money would be effectively yours. However, if you had £5 in your savings account, you would be effectively lending the money to the bank who would in turn extend a loan to another client.

Popularity of technology on Stack Overflow and Hacker News: Causality Analysis
SpaceX took enormous amounts of funding from the government, which also happens to be its only customer for most of its services. Virtually all the technological advances which made it feasible for Elon Musk to found a rocket company were based on enormously expensive state funded programmes which private companies would neither have had the fundraising ability nor the realistic expectation of returns to embark upon.

Arguing that the space industry would be better off with less government funding and more private wealth is akin to arguing the earth is flat.

I just want to add to the other comments that Polyaxon focuses on different aspects of machine learning reproducibility than Pachyderm, although Polyaxon will be providing a very simple pipelining abstraction to start experiments based on previous jobs, triggers, or schedules, or provide the possibility to run post-experiment jobs. It will not focus on data provenance the same way Pachyderm does. In fact, Polyaxon and Pachyderm could be used together.
Until electric batteries reach parity with a simple gas tank, it's not enough. A gas powered vehicle will give me 500 miles of range on a 5 minute fill up. It will do so in the middle of winter, 5 years after I bought the car. No EV is remotely close to that performance.

There is not much fragility to e.g. Corning's zero bending loss single mode fiber. Sure, i'ts easier to bend, so just add like a corrugated spring steel tube around the fibers themselves, and cover that with something that prevents corrosion and such. And 10G SFP+ modules are not that fragile either. Actually, last I remember, for home distances (30-80m) you get cheaper with fiber than copper, just due to the very short reach fiber transceivers being low-tech and the corresponding fiber cables cheaper than highly shielded twister pair.

Inflation. Inflation is one of the two reasons capital gains should be different. You can make a large profit in nominal terms while making a real loss if inflation is high enough. This is not a risk with non-capital gains income.

The real reason capital gains taxes are a bad idea is that they discourage investment and we want more of that because it’s how we increase our productive capacity and get more of what we really want, consumption.

We should abolish income and capital gains taxes altogether and tax consumption. Encouraging investment by ceasing to tax it will lead to higher production and consumption in the long run.
Switzerland has negative central bank rates since 2015. So does Sweden. The European Central Bank rate is at zero, and Japan's rate has been slighly negative for a couple of years. We are living interesting times.
Yeah every 10 years our system will become more twisted and polarized as whoever's in power at the time uses the last decade worth of technological development to draw ever more bulletproof maps.

I always wondered if the PDP-11 (which c was originally developed on) was missing rotate instructions.

Weirdly enough, it does have rotate instructions. Even weirder, there is no logical shift right instruction on the PDP-11. The original c compiler must have been emulating one by clearing the carry bit beteen rotates.

A lot of designers don't have portfolios.
Both exist currently. There are "on demand" deposits (current accounts, checking accounts or whatever you want to call them) which are considered "money" (and added to physical money to get the M1 money supply). And there are other deposits (like saving accounts) which are investments. The distinction is quite blurred nowadays, you are not getting any interest on them anyway, but if the initiative had passed banks would only keep in their balance sheets the investment-like deposits and not the money-like deposits (which would be transferred to the central bank). Edit: to be clear, current accounts and savings accounts are quite different now from the point of view of the bank: fractional reserve requirements apply only to the former, allowing for "money creation".

I see the use of OSS in government services as almost a moral imperative-but the first point seth makes is crippling this "you need money to write the software in the first place"

Take voter management software - the preparation of polls, counting of results etc. all this software behind it is afaik propriety but used exclusively by the public sector - which seems mad, and even risky when we look at electronic balloting, but can one persuade any government to kickstart the process of building new? i cannot
