It only round-about targets the elderly because most of them happened to buy their property many years ago - however without targeting the elderly with fixed incomes directly there is no phaseout either - thus the wealthy and inheritors of property can continue to pay those low property taxes while shifting the burden onto new buyers and pricing out many who are looking to buy.

Relatedly, optimizer performance can behave very wildly on different types of models. Although many new DL projects use Adam as a baseline, in one of my projects simple RMSprop performed significantly better after a bit of testing.

The optimizer is just another hyperparameter to tune.

Which is itself a disappointing browser. I like the idea, but the execution is bad: mostly, for me, the UI speed. It's molasses, or glue, or <insert other favorite slowness metaphor here>. I had to move to Chrome, and I haven't managed to move back, or to FireFox yet either.

I speculate the cause is that the UI is written in HTML/Javascript, but I'm not sure. Some parts of it have to be tailored per platform, and be natively implemented, I'm sure.
Or job market regression.

I could see Microsoft acquiring Red Hat. Nearly every company that I've worked for purchases MSFT licenses and RedHat licenses. If MSFT acquired them, it would allow them to offer either option in the enterprise.

Also, Microsoft's cash cow isn't Windows, it's Office and Outlook. So an acquisition of Red Hat might give them an opportunity to make inroads into Linux with those products.

Last but not least, there's plenty of Linux running on Azure, a RedHat acquisition could play into that strategy.

I agree, but it seems like we went past a bend in the hype curve with how this plays out in deep learning vs. other fields or historically in machine learning.

A paper like this used to be a minor thing. Neat result, A for effort, great to see if the authors take the time to generate PRs adding the updated method into mainstream packages and libraries. But no more than that.

Now, with deep learning, every little result has to be trumpeted out with blog posts, claims about what is “state of the art” on some cherry picked example cases, and you’ll be treated like a dunce if you don’t get push notifications direct from arxiv and drop what you’re doing to read everything immediately.

It’s a form of credit inflation. Researchers want sweet, sweet deep learning hype credit for fame & fortune. Instead of just admitting that a lot of results are inapplicable to most practitioners and that’s totally fine and common in published research ... it has to be always a hype arms race about who knows more trivia.

That is democracy in action. More people want the sports stadium than the swimming pool. You might disagree with them, but that doesn't make them wrong.

Thanks for the tips, I'll keep this going although it's very off-topic, hopefully this will get downvoted into hiding so it doesn't pollute the thread too much.

I've been fit before getting a desk job and caffeine doesn't do much for me, so these are out.

Sleep impacts my ability to be productive I have noticed, so I am indeed getting as much and as good quality sleep as I can while having a baby.

My current rituals are, have something I enjoy for breakfast, ideally while in front of the computer doing something work related. I feel like ego depletion is a real thing for me, and I am more likely to be able to focus if I baby myself in some ways.
I take very (too) frequent breaks and walk around, get coffee etc. without judging myself for slacking, and the positive attitude helps me feel good enough to really buckle down and get work done when I feel I really need to.

I try to stop working for the day at a point where picking back up should be straight forward.

I also started getting to work earlier in the day, before most people, so I get alone time in the morning. This works out great for me despite not being much of a morning person.

Seeing as I need to use music to drown out noise, I choose agreeable classical music, nothing avant-garde or noisy, when I really need to get things done. I try to avoid music that I enjoy too much, as I tend to get sucked into it and find myself hand-picking "just 1 more" song.
Or when music gets tiresome but noise is still present, something like brain.fm helps me eek out just some more attention.

Finally, although it's a bit of a cheat, some autonomy in what you work on helps me immensely. I am way more likely to procrastinate if I have to do something too hard (for my current skillset, even if technically accessible) or too uninteresting. So I leave these tasks for someone else and try to pick up things that I am more likely to keep working on.

All in all, at work I can manage myself fine due to the added structure and the routine around it.
I have a lot more trouble getting things done outside of it.
Oh, so what you're saying is that they're no considering the notion that there may be a medium-availability (for lack of a better term) solution, which could be perfectly adequate/appropriate?

I don’t want to jump on top of a pedant pile, because I think it’s really cool that you’re out there making useful stuff.

The group where I did my PhD was a Numerical Relativity group and I now work in Machine Learning, so I can appreciate where you’re coming from.

However, a Tensor has a very precise mathematical meaning, and has done for centuries (dating back to at least Voigt, and arguably as far as Gauss). Even in machine learning, people recognise that they are abusing the term tensor by restricting its use to Tensors expressed in the canonical orthogonal basis of E^n.

I really think we should be discouraging this debasement of our mathematical terminology. It’s just not helpful at all.
You get integration with the Unifi UI and a much easier configuration experience, you lose only because what you've got is (probably) overkill for residential use. If you've got more than one AP then you start to win again because you can power all your APs from the switch.

Electricity wouldn't scale. Solenoids on each brake system would take current. Adding new cars would increase the load on whatever is providing that current. To ensure that cars could be swapped in and out, the cables on all cars would have to be large enough to provide current for even the longest train.

Air brakes, once pressurized, don't take much to maintain. Relatively small pipes work on even very long trains. You can add cars all day without increasing the steady load on the compressor. A longer train will take longer to pressurize, but once there it would not need the compressor to run constantly. Air is also not as dangerous as running large electrical cables the length of a train.

Cheating in a game should always and only be dealt with by the game company itself. Having some real-world consequences what is quite literally meaningless is absurd the very least. Following that train of thought, should we start punishing people who cuss behind their consoles, PCs or phones? That's also "bad" and "not conducive to the society".

Oh and let's not forget, if people lose more than just the satisfaction of winning when someone steals their win with cheats I'd say they also have issues they should deal with. In addition to that cheating in games has been a common first step towards a good career in the field of cybersecurity, if they'd been punished irl for cheating I'm quite certain they wouldn't be working in that field - do we really want to go on figuratively or literally slapping children for what really are just minor deviations from the regular?

Your train of thought is similar to those who think zero-tolerance policies are a good idea - punishment on it's own never is.

> Samsung was trying to increase market share in DRAM and they pumped in billions in CAPEX to increase their manufacturing capacity.

That's exactly how it's supposed to work. Every manufacturer is individually incentivized to increase supply to increase their own relative share of the market.

Of course, it's collectively better for all of them to choke supply, which is how we get OPEC and the DRAM cartel.

China's got a big electronics industry that needs DRAM for their products, so if Korea is going to choke supply then they're just going to start up their own fabs. And predictably, the DRAM cartel is now crying about the new kid on the block messing up their attempt to corner the market.

> It looks like all DRAM makers are increasing their output now, but probably not enough to bring down the price fast enough, as it takes years to ramp up production.

No, actually, they are contracting supply relative to projected demand. Demand is going up by 20.6%, supply is only going up by 5-7%.

https://press.trendforce.com/press/20170920-2972.html

> This also meant that they couldn't invest much into their future capacity which is why we have the kind of price surge that we now have. This is no brainer if you look at it from business cycle point of view.

Pretty sure they cut capex in 2016, which wouldn't have had an impact until like, this year. Are you saying that they cut capex and in a matter of months prices doubled? Yeah, doesn't seem correct to me.

> Was it Cartels intend to drive the price so low that they would be almost out of business too?

Samsung was "almost going out of business"? Bull fucking shit.

We think we are wolves, living by the logic of the pack.

In truth we are sheep, living by the logic of the flock.

Human beings have both modes. We are close relatives to chimpanzees, who will go together in a group with the specific goal of exterminating the next group. Human societies have a communal mode and a feudal mode. One is more egalitarian and communal. (But also hierarchical.) The other is more hierarchical. (But also communal.)
> Don't blame business for responding to economic incentives the same way you personally would.

On the other hand, the modal business has much more economic power and leverage than the modal individual. There's a reasonable argument that they should be held to a higher standard of responsibility and compliance because their contribution to the problem is magnified.

Exactly. Shortly there could well be no living people who've been to the moon. [1]

We went to the moon because we could. A few more people may soon go because they can. But moon bases have been 30 years away something like 70 years. On a purely personal basis, I'd love to see it happen. But realistically, we barely have people in low earth orbit.

It's reasonable to argue that we'll get there. But the burden of proof is on the people arguing it, and the "progress is inevitable" handwave is definitely doesn't cut it.

I agree. The big change in bitcoin is that it is a way to literally change energy into capital without doing a damn thing in any other way, or benefiting any human being, or anything else on the planet.

It's literally waste heat from conversion of energy that could do some good, into numbers controlled by rich people. We might do better to just say outright 'all rich people, you now have twice as much money just for being you' and use the energy elsewhere… or use less and avoid cooking the planet.

In practice this is a dumb, bad idea even if you stand to benefit.
It’s a tough situation, because the amount of access that these extensions have to users’ actions can be extreme. Malware is a much greater concern than, say, the AppStore, as access to sensitive information is far less controlled.
