I'm not sold on it being Nokia, but from their 5g chipset page:

> ReefShark packs more functionality into 50 percent smaller hardware compared to products that use discrete components
> ReefShark chipset decreases mMIMO antenna size by half
>ReefShark cuts energy use by 85 percent, increasing deployment options
>Boosts the intelligence and performance of MIMO antennas

So density and power. This chipset would be around for a long time, it makes sense to be on the latest process.
So fuzz the trades. OPtimizing for precision is just resulting in massive misallocations of capital.

Not a good comparison, since expansion of copyright is always going to be about censorship, violation of free speech and so on. That's the nature of copyright itself. Giving publishers more censorship power? No, thanks!
Great read. There are obviously lots of different issues here, but the biggest takeaway I have seems to be: Udacity wasn't building a single app that ran on multiple platforms. They were building 2 separate apps that each ran on a single platform, and there happened to be a lot of overlap which made React Native look appealing.

It turned out that the overlap wasn't enough, or else the team would not have done things like ever allow a feature into the tree that didn't work on both platforms before merging (i.e. let the trees get out of sync). Useful to consider before you adopt React Native in another app.
Not enabling MFA is just unacceptable at that level...
Something doesn't add up. Assuming "working every hour you're awake" means something like 12 hours/day 6 days a week, that'd be a $90k/yr salary at your stated rate of $25/hr. A more realistic (but still severe) schedule of 10hrs/day 6 days a week would be $75k/yr-- even in an expensive city, far from the brink of homelessness.

Am I overestimating how much you're working? Or is the income being consumed by something?
You don't even need Asterisk. Twilio now supports SIP registration and is much easier to manage than maintaining your own Asterisk.
Haskell is the obvious answer. Rust is the bastard child of Haskell and C (my two loves).

If one needs cyclic data structures in Rust, the existing theory of functional data structures is a great model for how to solve such problems. Persistent and reference-count-friendly data structures are brothers from different mothers. Haskell enforces pure functionality. Then one can relax and use Rust, and its arcane features will actually come as a relief.
I get the picture, looks really useful. Maybe the tagline "Batteries included data structure / state manager." Could be something more like "minimal web socket synchronized state manager" or something like that.
Try to write out difficult sections (pen & paper) to get started.

I've found that gives my brain the time it needs to get a handle on overly complex or boring texts.

Assume it's going to take you time so don't aim for completing too much the first few times. Don't worry about how much time it's taking, just worry about getting a couple of conceptual wedges in place. Follow pomodoro method.

Text is far slower and lacks all the non-verbal cues we use in person or even over video chat. There's almost no upside to having an actual meeting in Slack other than a text log.
First off, do not give up. This is a struggle for even the most experienced people when dealing with a sufficiently complex new system.

Try to focus on small, noticeable wins. Focus on a narrow part of the system that seems relevant, and try to start fiddling with and see what happens. If the system has tests, try going through them as it is often easier to understand how a system ought to behave than the details.
I don't think Jane Street would be using OCaml to this extent if it needed a "modern day substitute". And the language is evolving, which is always a healthy sign.

Not that you can do anything about it right now (understandably) but when you can you might want to look hard at diversifying your customer base - Having a single client who you absolutely need to stay a float puts you in a very risky position (take it from someone who did exactly that a couple of years ago and it nearly finished me off - I hit insane hours of work per week and my health went to shit at the same time, while the amount of work didn't cause most of that (not much you can do about a spinal issue I'd had since birth)).

In the end I just said fuck it and looked for a full time job, I took a pay cut in terms of hourly rate but when you average everything out across lean and fat times I'm only about 20% down over a year for working 37.5hrs instead of 60+ every week, week in week out.

I'm a year into that now and mentally I'm in a much better situation than a year ago but it's taken nearly the entire year to get even close to feeling 'normal' again.

In terms of learning stuff quickly, change you scenery - Go read the documentation on a laptop in a coffee shop instead of at home (or a local library if money is really that tight) :- When I really need to grok something I get out the house and do it, two cats and the boy makes it hard at home.
> In everyday life, one conflates probability with severity of outcome.

My everyday example for that is the weather forecast and the question 'will it rain' often answered with a precipitation probability?

- Probability: How likely is it that I will be hit by at least one rain drop

- Severity: How many rain drops will hit me

It sounds a little abstract, but whenever I see some everyday weather forecast I wonder what they are trying to tell me. At least 0% seems unambiguous to me :-)
Because most carriers are shit and don't even allow you to set policies on what the SIM can be used for.

I have a bunch of M2M SIMs here and they are capable of making calls using a number I didn't even know existed. The SIMs are marketed as M2M and the provider claims voice calls are not possible despite me having proof of the opposite by calling them from it.

Thankfully their billing systems don't even mention voice anywhere, but surely if I rack up a big enough bill they'll manually send me the invoice for that.
"Lesson 1: Use probabilities instead of words to avoid misinterpretation."

Probabilities are meaningless unless it’s a repeatable experiment otherwise its a ludic fallacy eg "There's a 70% chance of Hillary winning". This is an un-provable statement. Either she wins and prediction was right, or she loses and it counts as part of the 30%. This is Nate Silver's get-out-of-jail-free card so even when he's wrong he comes off as being right.

i.e. this statement makes sense in a casino and nowhere else.

"Lesson 2: Use structured approaches to set probabilities."

Probabilities are meaningless by themselves. Path dependency matters a great deal to actual humans but not to business professors. A strategy that works well for the ensemble wont necessarily work well for the individual.

e.g. if you save for retirement for the average life expectancy then 50% of the people would be screwed and 50% of the people would have saved too much.

i.e. The cost of being right/wrong is what matters and not the probability.
> It seems likely to me that people who are speaking Indonesian as a first language (e.g. Jakartans) have a substantially larger vocabulary than those that are speaking it as a second language (e.g. Yogyakartans).

They are speaking Indonesian as a second native language, they will acquire Javanese and Indonesian at the same time but use Javanese in conversation and Indonesian when consuming TV, books and in school. So their grasp of formal Indonesian is going to depend mostly on education level.

As for colloquial Indonesian, due to the internet new colloquialisms spread much more rapidly to other parts of Indonesia. So it probably depends on how old said Yogyakartan is.
Incredible. It does seem like innovation in US is in a slowdown, with the tech giants being the only ones thinking long terms, and the VCs trying to flip companies to the tech giants on 3-5 year time scales. But very hard to tell what's going on, for me at least.
Saying Wordpress is a security nightmare is like saying Windows is a security nightmare. It has broad use, it has tons of people using it with outdated or unmanaged plugins on installs that haven't been updated in years...Some running near extinct PHP versions. If managed properly, put behind a firewall, etc it is quite safe. The hatred of Wordpress is laughable. It has its limits, but it meets most small-medium sized business needs when the project calls for minimal needs.

This is a really uncharitable interpretation of what he did. It was specifically mentioned as a scripting language, and parsing command line arguments is frequently necessary for scripts.

He then compared the hello world examples for the two most popular command line argument libraries. This is hardly going out of his way to find some bizarre corner case examples - it's the primary example for one of the most important libraries for the advocated use case. He never said anything about any programming languages besides Python and F#.

You can disagree with him without twisting his argument around.

It just occurred to me that VC spending on the next big thing (usually a try at monopolization by appifization) in a way is a DDoS on the governmental oversight and by extension on the society. Governments may be too slow to react to properly enforce old laws or to create new ones to also cover new grounds. That gap allows companies to rise and profit, but many times at the expense of the society. Governments will probably adjust one way or the other, but I just hope that they will not throw the baby with the bathwater. They probably will, but that's just pendulum going to the other side.

It's not that advertising is wrong. It's that it is so massively overdone that it makes common web experience unbearable. I now avoid browsing most major sites with my mobile devices that don't have full adblocks - because it'd either completely unusable or even worse, get the whole device stuck and eat half of my battery on the way. I know it's their business model and they don't know any better. It doesn't make it any better for me.

When you have one tasteful ad, it's fine. When you have five, that's too much. When you go to a site and see 50+ foreign domains with ad/tracking/marketing loading, that's cancer. That's not the internet I'd want.
"Math shares a lot in common with programming. So much that it's easy to conflate the two."

Well, I would like to point that both mathematics and computer science are human activities which occur on a substrate of determinant computational processes. Mathematics has a culture, history and set of standards which decide which among results of "proof processes" are "mathematically interesting" whereas Computer Science and Software Engineering engineering also have similar standards determining what's significant among determinant processes.

Naturally, the two standards are distinct though actual results may occasionally intersect. Moreover, being "mathematically interesting" may make be a given item useful for computer programmers at times. Comprehensibility is important for our theories about programming despite programs having the usual requirement (unlike mathematical proofs) that they need a concrete manifestation.

And both mathematics-the-human-endeavor and software-engineering-the-human-endeavor are full of metaphors that are false-but-useful. Computer programs don't literally decacy any more than mathematical truths have "inherent beauty" or exist in any ideal realm. But both metaphors are useful nonetheless.

Also, the parent is confusing logical levels - programming is analogous to mathematical calculation whereas mathematics is analogous to computer-science or software engineering. Programs may be incorrect and calculations may be incorrect so many of distinctions are not germane to math/computer-science split (though the different ways programs are incorrect versus the ways calculations can be incorrect are relevant).

It might be of some general interest to note that there exist such objects - distributions over distributions, or metaprobabilities. They have practical use - for example, if you are playing a game with uncertainty, you might observe something in the next step that changes your belief, or distribution over world state, b = P(s). If you have some expected distribution of next observations then you can talk about the probability of having some belief in the next state. Roughly P(b'|b) = P(P(s')|P(s)). You can collapse this into simple probabilities if you just care about your new observations, P(obs'|b) = \sum_s P(obs'|s)P(s|b).

I could imagine some frameworks where confidence intervals in this way would be useful - ex. I have 3 fairly different world models that I think are equally likely, each has a P(election), what's the P(election|world) and get confidence intervals across world models rather than just summing over them to P(election). But I agree that for most common approaches that simple probabilities are most useful and clear.

A simlock works the other way around. It is to ensure that a subsidized phone does not end up being used for another carrier. It does not lock a SIM from being used in another device.

You probably mean a pin code on the sim, but then you'd have to have a keyboard to enter the pin with and the device most likely did not come with such luxuries (nor a screen).
A fractal abomination.
> Probabilities without confidence intervals are by-and-large meaningless.

That's just not true. If I believe that my team has a 20% chance to win and you offer me a bet with anything better than 5-to-1 odds I should take the bet. If you offer me anything worse than 5-to-1, then I should not take the bet. There's no fuzz factor necessary; no confidence interval that I need to use to make the decision.

Perhaps you're getting at the idea of calibration? That it's difficult for a person to know what a 20% chance feels like? But there are still a lot of situations where it's not up to human judgement.
Your productivity schedule is why you're not able to learn - it's like wanting to build muscle before digesting the food. Study the system a bit, then go and exercise for half an hour, which is billable time because you'll be thinking about what you studied while doing a couple hundred mindless reps. If you can solve the problem away from the screen and keyboard, and then come back and just input your solution, it's work. You're being paid to think, not for how often you push buttons.

From personal experience it sounds like you're in a very self-destructive pattern that it going to result in collapse from a combination of illness and stress. Not performing any self-care means you are running up a bill that someone else is going to have to settle if you fail.
How important are domain names vs. company names?
Hi guys, so I'm in a bit of a situation here with my co founder. We have a very new startup, and we've chosen a company name that we both really like, but it's unfortunately (no surprise) proving to be a bit of a headache with getting a decent domain that even vaguely resembles our chosen company name.

We've done some research and we've read a lot of opinions that it's highly beneficial to get the right domain right off the bat - so much so, that it's apparently advised to rethink the company name in light of this. We've ALSO found some research where folks say it's simply not that important right now, after all: once you can generate cash, you can fit that bill of $15k that seems to be standard when inquiring about purchasing domains.

What do you guys think?

Please don't downvote me but I liked Jar Jar. Not because the character was great but because I felt like the annoyance was there to add a "light hearted" and slightly annoying touch to the plot. It felt like eating spicy food with a bit too much of one particular spice.

Has no one ever met a person that annoys like Jar Jar? This feels similar to how people get annoyed when they hate the ending. The writer is trying to tell a story,are all stories without an annoying character or do they end in a satisfactory manner?

But then again people who watch a blockbuster movies don't care about an interesting or thought provoking story. They just want to watch something that makes them feel good,and this is why hollywood keeps making remakes and comic book stories. That is what audiences who pay for movie tickets want,they don't care if fast and furious 10 has the same generic plot as every other movie in the series because it still makes them feel good.

Since it helps most with keeping same content sync among multiple devices, I assume it's a good fit for any kind of content publishing. Want to compete with Medium or Netflix, here you start :)
Good question.

The difference is how the probability changes in response to new information. Learning more about the coin won't change the probability of heads from 50%, but doing more exhaustive polls would have likely improved our prediction about the election.

However I don't think there's as much of a difference as you think. If we learnt more about how the coin was going to be flipped then that would certainly improve our estimate of the outcome. If we found out the exact way it would be flipped we could calculate the outcome exactly.

So we can't really compare the two situations quantitatively, since there's no way to match up like-for-like the information we could receive. But we can say, for each possible piece of information we could receive, how much we expect it to change our probability.
WP is really extensible. The way hooks and filters work and the way they are used trough the codebase allows you to completely alter and change virtually every aspect of the software. That includes everything from the admin UI to the processing and displaying of content. None of the modern alternatives are remotely as powerful and versatile as WP is.
