Reading further down in the docket reveals a few suggestive details. Of particular note, this filing which lead to the revocation of Schulte’s bail [https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.480183...]. Two salient points:

1. Schulte agreed as a condition of his pretrial house arrest not to own, possess, or use a computer or any other form of internet access. Surveillance showed internet connections from his house, accessing his personal email as well as the TOR network.

His attorneys argue that these connections were Schulte’s cousin (who lives with him) checking his email (and TOR?) on his behalf, which after all the Court never said he couldn’t do.

2. At his bail hearing, the prosecutor mentioned a photograph (apparently recovered from Schulte’s phone) showing an unconscious person (apparently Schulte’s roommate) being sexually assaulted (apparently in their shared bathroom). The identity of the assailant having not being established, this wasn’t taken into consideration at pretrial. But...

Since that hearing, the cops in Virginia followed up and have a reasonable suspicion that the person seen in a photograph on Schulte’s phone, sexually assaulting Schulte’s unconscious roommate, in Schulte’s house, might indeed be Schulte himself. So it sounds like he’s facing sexual assault charges in Virginia, as soon as his federal child-porn-cum-treason prosecution gets sorted out.

So... well, even if these additional allegations don’t change your perspective on his character, they proooooobably cut against any presumption of doubt based on dude’s mastery of opsec.
You're confusing business with charity. Business should never give out money for free, it wouldn't make sense.
I understand that these super-priveleged elite think they are helping the poor by giving them an excuse for their condition, but this is nothing but insult. If you take out ‘poor’ and replace it with ‘negro’ you get exactly the same kind of pandering pseudoscientific p-hacked contemptuous bullshit that was used to justify one group’s superiority over another for centuries, as well as the absolute insolvency of their condition, necessitating a system of permanent child-like welfare dependence. You may feel good about your empathy, but few that would deserve it appreciate it one bit. The desire for pity is a mental disease of the wealthy. Don’t put it on poor people to adopt your sickness. Trust that rich people’s brains are just as distracted, and their decisions, given the same information and experience, are probably just as bad.

Ayn Rand? Are you serious? The woman was a demagogue, a hypocrite, and a racist homophobe among her other charming qualities. Her "philosophy" of selfishness and greed was based on a worldview of hatred, suspicion, and class warfare, and even then is self-contradictory in many ways and completely meritless in every way. Rand's legacy is one of rationalization for the misguided, unethical, immoral actions of self-centered jackasses who all think they are the ubermensch. The reason she is completely ignored is because she was a horrible human being, who did nothing but make the world a worse place.
I was not referring to the article but to the parent comment, my point is if someone monitors your traffic then it is very easy for any tech person to put bad links in your logs.

There was a case, I do not remember in what country where a guy was accused of child pornography because of his IP address and later was found that someone in police made a typo and they had the wrong IP.

Maybe the traffic logs are not enough to put you in jail but the accusation itself could destroy you and your family.

Your post kind of rambles on and fails to address the point that OP is making: Physics is, in fact, stuck. It's been almost 100 years since the initial clash between classic mechanics and quantum theory, and how much closer are we to unification?

And you take an extremely condescending tone while addressing OP's lack of humility while making statements attacking him for "especially from one not understanding how science actually works."

How does science actually work? Are we supposed to follow Popper? Or Kuhn? Or Feyerabend? Should we go with logical positivism or empiricism?
Women typically make less than men. They routinely marry men who are wealthier than them.

I guess this turns the discussion around poverty into a 'chicken and egg' discussion. Which one was first? One's poverty or one's inability to make good life choices? So conservatives will say the latter and liberals will say the first, because you've probably been oppressed by someone and we are already back at square one.

Read at least the real scientific article abstract (or even the whole article if you can):

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037663571...

E.g. " Finally, in a second experiment, subjects spent longer with the modified stimulus than with the modified odour by itself, indicating that novelty alone does not explain the dogs' behavior."

If you read a news item about the scientific article and it appears lacking, most of the time it's that the journalist (or the editor) simply omitted the details that make the argument consistent. The news can't copy everything word-for-word, and the time that the "reporter" has to write the "news" and the time he spent on learning on the subject are typically many orders of magnitude smaller than the person who did the scientific work.

Which also doesn't mean that all scientific papers can stand the test of the time. But when seeing inconsistencies, it's worth to first look at the real thing.
> Lived in the US(for work) for around 4 years and returned to India. So I know a little about what I'm talking about.

The US is a huge country; living in it for 4 years for work — unless that work is, I dunno, leading a large cross-regional socioeconomic study — will leave you knowing pretty close to nothing about it related to the issues you discuss.

> I am yet to understand why US millennials have all these troubles

Because radical shifts in US tax policy over the past several decades have changed the arc of financial prospects for the non-elite much faster than cultural expectations have adapted.

> Even on minimum wage you can eat the best, healthy food there is

No, you can't. On minimum wage you can't even afford minimal (as in, not so substandard as to be condemned and illegal for habitation) shelter in much of the country, much less shelter + “the best, healthy” unprepared food + food storage and prep equipment, or shelter + “the best, healthy” prepared food.

> Infrastructure is just a whole country Disneyland.

It's really not, you need to see more of the country if you think it is. (Unless by “Disneyland” you mean “glitzy facade that's hollow underneath”, which is closer to true, but even there much of the country lacks even the facade.)

> Opportunities are higher than all of human history including the present combined.

That's not even abstractly possible, much less true.

> Schooling is free.

But often absymally bad.

> You can afford a good car for minimal monthly payments.

Median used car price in the US is just under $20,000; median auto loan interest is 4.20% (for used cars probably higher, because the most credit-worthy people are more likely to buy new cars.) On a 60 month loan with zero down, that's 50+ hours at federal minimum wage to make the monthly payment.

> You get pure drinking water,

No, you don't, in many cases, though awareness of this (except for Flint, MI, which is not unique in its toxic lead levels though perhaps unique in the manner by which that occurred) is poor.

>> Mental health appears to play a smaller role than you'd expect

For some traditional, clinical definition of "mental health" maybe, but to go on a rampage just because of a victim complex has to be a mental illness in itself.

Put another way, most of us do get pissed off at things, or treated unfairly from time to time, but we don't go shooting people. Someone who does that definitely has more than a few screws loose in their brain.
> yes, much worse than all of the nuclear power accidents combined[1]

I'll get it out of the way up front; I'm absurdly pro-nuclear.

Sunlight and radiation are both essentially high-energy, carcinogenic radiation. Technically, I'm sure they are very different, practically they are very similar.

I'd be really interested to know how the amount of sunlight reflected of a solar panel stacks up against something like the radiation levels in the Fukushima exclusion area after, say, 10 years. People ignore sunlight because it is familiar, but from an engineering perspective it is quite hazardous.

Without having any evidence on the subject whatsoever, I'd not be at all surprised if workers at an industrial solar plantation to be at higher risk of cancer than workers at a nuclear plant. I'd love to know how a solar plant working normally stacks up against a rare nuclear disaster by the numbers.

In order to handle the load, we had to extend the number of lambda's available on our account as well, so we are talking about 1000s of seconds being eaten up every second.

> investors of Uber are well aware

That's an extraordinarily huge presumption to make about someone, especially, in practice, an "investor" isn't even a natural person.

Moreover, the "person" who owns the shares may not be the one who made the purchase decision, such as with venture capital, hedge funds, and mutual funds [1].

Even an individual, natural person may buy a particular stock based purely on financials, or even just price (such as day traders). No awareness of business practices is necessary.

Then there's short-selling. Who owns those shares, at which point in time?

Most of these questions (ownership, not purchase decision responsibility) do need to have an answer for the purpose of corporate voting, but only occasionally and not to determine criminal liability for an arbitrary point in time. The latter would be remarkably impractical, if not unfair.

https://github.com/deeplearning4j/deeplearning4j-docs/issues...

We will be sending out a doc for this by next week with these updates. Thanks a lot for playing ball here.

Beyond that, can you clarify what you mean? Do you mean just the gemm op?

For that, that's the only case that mattered for us. We will be documenting the what/how/why of this in our docs.

Beyond that, I'm not convinced the libraries are directly comparable when it comes to the sheer scope of the libraries to each other.

You're treating nd4j as a gemm library rather than a fully fledged numpy/tensorflow with hundreds of ops and support for things you would likely have no interest in building.

A big reason I built nd4j was to solve the general use case of building a tensor library for deep learning, not just a gemm library.

Beyond that - I'll give you props for what you built. There's always lessons to learn when comparing libraries and making sure the numbers match.

Our target isn't you though, it's the likes of google,facebook, and co and tackling the scope of tasks they are.

That being said - could we spend some time on docs? Heck yeah we should. At most we have java doc and examples. We tend to help people as much as we can when profiling.

Could we manage it better? Yes for sure. That's partially why we moved dl4j to the eclipse foundation to get more 3rd party contributions and build a better governance setup. Will it take time for all of this to evolve? Oh yeah most definitely.

No project is perfect and always has things it could improve on.

Anyways - let's be clear here. You're a one man shop who built an amazingly fast library that scratches your own itch for a very specific set of use cases. We're a company and community tackling a wider breadth of tasks and trying to focus more on serving customers and adding odd things like different kinds of serialization, spark interop,.. etc.

We benefit from doing these comparisons and it forces us to document things better that we normally don't pay attention to. This little exercise is good for us. As mentioned, we will document the limitations a bit better but we will make sure to cover other topics like allocation and the like as well as the blas interface.

Positive change has come out of this and I'd like to thank you for the work you put in. We will make sure to re run some of the comaprisons on our side.
That's exactly what the Rust edition system is intended to prevent! One of the intentions of it is to allow for removal of previously ill-designed language features in future editions.
Let's go over your points one by one:

- Make it illegal to bribe politicians.

It already is. If you want to bring about change you should be more exact with your complaint, otherwise people won't take you seriously.

- Make it illegal for cities to restrict construction of new housing.

If that was the case then someone could buy a forest and cut it all down. Some people like that there is a forest nearby. I don't see anything wrong with restrictions against destroying a forest even if it is for a house.

- Make it illegal to profit on speculation on housing.

Let's take Flint Michigan as an example. Right now many people are trying to sell their house and move away. Some people are buying a house because they think that eventually Flint will fix everything up and become a normal city. In that case the house would be worth more money. If speculation was illegal then no one would buy the houses from the people who want to leave Flint.

- Make it illegal for employers to discriminate against people without a college degree.

Imagine if Google had a policy that they would interview anyone with an A in a relevant degree. If that became illegal there would be no way that they could interview everyone that was interested in working there. They would have to find another way to discriminate that may be worse.

- Extend Medicare to the whole population. Failing that, or as an interim, extend Medicare to under-18s, and repeal the tax distortion for employers providing health insurance.

Currently Medicare will become insolvent in 2026. How can we include more people if it cannot take care of the current about of people?

- Repeal drug prohibition.

Seeing as China was defeated by England due to the opioid war, I can understand way people would be against that.

I was thinking about what they could have done. (I watched the video.) I first thought, perhaps they could have just made them at their usual rate of work, and simply taken two, three years to deliver. This is the case with world-class restaurants that have year-long waiting lists.

Or, they could have had a higher price.

It was then that I realized why an "artisanal" scissor with a viral independent video about it and real old-world charm might cost $100.

Not because it's "worth" $100. Not because hipsters are idiots who don't know what to do with their cash.

But simply to limit the seller's obligation to fulfill.

I am not saying it is the solution here, just that it gives another perspective on insane artisan pricing.

I don't think we're so far off. Of course I wouldn't object that there are certain principles in the constitution, that are relatively constant.

But constitutional cases tend to deal with a lot of specifics. How much bail is "excessive"? How long until a trial has not been "speedy?" When is "due process" satisfied? If we were to ask these and similar questions to Madison, I think his answer would be something like, "the courts should figure that out." I don't think the meaning of these things has changed significantly over time. I suspect they were as broad and vague in the mind of Madison as they are to us.

The courts should rule in a way that is in keeping with constitutional principles, but also that creates good outcomes. The first part of that equation comes from the constitution and the past, yes. But the second part requires that we apply knowledge from the present.

The value of an hour of your time depends on each individual; the average value of your time depends on region. (The average salary in Romania, for example, is around $1k before taxes - about $600 after. I assume this is much lower than the average salary in, say, SV.)

Given that, wasting an hour to do something yourself instead of paying someone else to do it for you can be counterproductive (see Ricardo's law).
