One might reply by saying:

It is concerning to me that people are driving cars without first understanding the principles of mechanical engineering, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics. I'm not sure why people are diving into modern cars without knowing how to properly build a simple (but powerful) steam engine.

The point being, there's a distinction between "machine learning research" and "applied machine learning". Of course those points are on a continuum, not separated by a bright line. But the point is, there are different roles and those different roles have different goals and requirements.

Of course knowing more math and theoretical foundations enables you to do more in some senses... just like a basic knowledge of fluid dynamics would be useful if you want to "port and polish" the cylinder heads in your car. But in reality, a minuscule portion of the population of car owners will ever want to do this. OTOH, it is essential if you're the person designing the car engine in the first place.

No, it's not a perfect analogy, but I think the overall point stands: some people need to know the deep, deep details of linear algebra, multivariable calculus, probability theory, measure theory, topology, etc., etc., for their goals in machine learning, while other people can achieve quite a lot without all of that knowledge.
Yeah the only device that fits that profile is the asus chromebit but it runs chromeos and can't yet run android or linux apps so its a much more limited device than the pi even with double the ram.
Launching a side project in 10 days
I'm in the same boat as you, but I can understand why, based on the market:

You can buy a cheap powerful phone because there's a market for it. The margins are in the scale of the consumer market. However, there isn't as much a market for a generic "beige-box" cheap CPU. It's one of the difficult realizations of being a techie: the kind of undifferentiated, cheap, flexible box we want just doesn't carry itself as a product.
I think the problem is in the idea that "you better have some human engineers around in case a tornado forms." That is a completely different job than the original job and the folks waiting around "in case a tornado forms" likely won't have the skills to fix that tornado anymore. The issue isn't that "the robots are going to take our jobs!" its that the new jobs are ones humans actually aren't very good at; waiting around ever vigilant until the automated system screws up and then immediately coming up to speed and fixing the system they no longer have any interaction with.
I wonder the same.... AI is good for making use of unstructured information, but for structured numerical information from sensors, an advanced optimal control algorithm like MPC will likely perform as well or better.

Plus MPC isn't a black box, and so is amenable to characterization, interpretation and analysis. It also has robustness-enhancing features that have been developed over decades, so the fallbacks are known.
I posted this above, but you can get netdata metrics into graphite,opentsdb,prometeheus,etc formats for those databases with minimal work. In that setup netdata is basically a collection agent reporting to whatever database Grafana is reading from.

The cost of infrastructure monitoring is an instant blocker for my work, but if you are a large profitable company with a huge deployment, then yeah netdata probably isn't the right tool for the job

Both tend to reduce you're internal "Maybe I shouldn't say this even if I mean it, it might not have the intended consequences" filter. Putting them together definitely heightens it.
Heterogenous graphics card configurations can be supported on Wayland (e.g. Sway 1.0 supports them). GPU hot plugging could be supported by compositors as long as you don't need the compositor to change the GPU it's rendering on (it's just not clear how this looks like API-wise -- and it's very difficult to obtain hardware setups that support those). Clients could then be restarted to use a different GPU. Wayland is not not limiting factor here.

The Liquidity Dilemma
> I quit Twitter a while back when it was showing me anti-Muslim tweets

Without wanting to be provocative, I have the same feeling about the BBC website but for the opposite reason. Why the need to push pro-Muslim/PC stories all the time? I have to sift through the agenda-driven pieces to get to the actual news, and anything that does not support the globalist/leftist agenda is given cursory treatment and buried hard. I want things to go back to normal! Just show me proper news! Not another story about Lena Dunham's endometriosis..

I don't disagree at all, but I feel this basically just makes my broader point. Napoleon eventually lost due to the political/financial/technological might of Britain, not because he hit a better general.
> That fact does indeed legitimize the status quo.

So how about let western white people own everything, and kill all non white people, as non white are not doing a good job of protecting their own stuff.

This is what you called "legitimize".

This is not only utterly racism, it's also plain stupid. If there were no opioid war, the artifacts would have been protected very well.

If a book's ideas can be absorbed in 15 minutes, was it ever really a book?

I've seen these business summaries on offer elsewhere--it always struck me as an approach to signaling, not learning. In this model the "reader" can manufacture the appearance of knowledge of a subject without taking the time to invest oneself in it. Or perhaps now the books even manufacture the appearance of knowledge while being tiny ideas unworthy of serious consideration.

I think if I was working with anyone who used a service like this though, I would have second thoughts about them. Isn't this just trend-chasing dressed up as knowledge acquisition?

OK I'll bite. So basically you're guessing that an ignorant Indian got suckered into giving up this prized possession to a murderous/exploiting white man?

Had it ever occurred to you that what actually happened was an incredulous Indian farmer was more than happy to take the white man's coin for a pair of buffalo horns that were lying around his farm? I mean, they're not exactly rare, you get a free pair every time a buffalo croaks.

Now, if you're talking about the Parthenon or the Old Summer Palace then fair enough. They were valuable to the original owners (OK not the Elgin marbles but still) and the Brits didn't exactly ask nicely.

But assuming all Indians/Chinese/Egyptians/Greeks/whatever were just credulous bumpkins is a completely unwarranted slight.
Yes, my recollection is that it could recognize voice on the line. Besides that:

- It had a four-voice synthesizer, so it could play music / synthesize voices, etc over the line.

- It had a handset input, I think w/digitizer, so it could be used as a voice distorter.

- It supported Bell 202 1200 bps half-duplex to another Cat II.

- It could control a tape recorder, so it could be used as an answering machine.

- It could control home appliances via BSR X-10.

- It had RS-232 support, so it could be used as a serial printer controller.

It was not a conventional modem.
Yeah, thanks for telling me I misunderstand it.

It's not an economic monopoly, but (at least in the case of the EpiPen) it's bad regulation with similar impact.

Look at it this way - without SpaceX, most of the people working at SpaceX responsible for planning and executing the project would have been employed at the other launch companies.

Unless you think that Musk is a once in a generation rocket engineering genius directly responsible for designing their reusable systems, it stands to reason that they would have been invented anyways (but probably more slowly).
TBH right now the functionality looks very close to Alfred (not sure about Quicksilver or anything else that's open-source). Except, dunno if it's possible here but afaik in Alfred plugins can generate the results on the fly in response to what's entered. That opens surprisingly many possibilities, and specifically Alfred serves as a keyboard-driven tool that replaces GUIs to some tasks: e.g. weather is shown right in the result list; you can search in apps like Evernote via their APIs, or you can add content to them, etc.

From the usability standpoint, one thing to note is that such an app needs only one global hotkey while providing functionality via more easily remembered commands, akin to the command line, with completion on the fly. It's often quicker for me to summon an app with a few letters from its name than to look for it in the cmd-tab list.
The End of the Teledildonics (Remote Controlled Adult Toys) Patent
Given that he referenced a 486 he might be referring to earlier versions of both.

Prior to Windows XP (possibly NT/2000) applications using GDI wrote directly to video memory and if one crashed it could create a black hole on your screen. I believe Windows Vista was when Microsoft introduced true off screen rendering and added GPU based composition of the desktop. GDI/GDI+ are now considered legacy and the issues the OP described aren't much of a problem anymore.

I believe Quartz is the OSX/MacOS equivalent to GDI on Windows however it's been less problematic than GDI and I believe OSX was launched with off screen rendering and composition that made the issued described by the OP impossible. I have no idea of OS9 or prior versions performed desktop composition.

>It's not bloated

X11 has a big number of issues. Security, very complicated mechanisms (like how clipboard is handled), HiDPI are some of these issues. X11 _is_ bloated (for instance it has an drawing API).

It's not like Wayland makes things that were possible on X11 impossible, it's just that replacements for everything don't exist yet. For instance there's no standardized way to make panels/docks/notification daemons. Same goes for screenshooters and screen recording. We -- the wlroots developers -- have been campaigning to push new protocols to bridge the gap. For instance the layer shell mentioned in the article is a protocol we try to standardize [1].

Musk says he's working 120 hours per week. That's 6 hours of sleep, the rest is work.

I don't believe that he's working 120 hours because that's the exact amount of work it's takes to make is companies succeed.

I believe he works 120 hours per week because that's simply the max amount of hours he can work.

There is no reason to assume that he can't reduce this work by 20% at least with some prioritization and delegation.

He doesn't seem to consider this a possibility.

I dont know if Apple has a marketing team to downvote this, but anytime I've been critical of Apple, someone is quick to downvote and defend their actions.
Arm isn't like Intel they don't make their own hardware, they design and license their chip designs. A hardware maker would have to license one of these upcoming future chip designs, build their own chip based on it and then sell that. Which is why it takes the resources of an Apple or an Asus to produce these devices. Just the license from Arm alone is a huge cost up front.
But nature wasn't trying to create intelligence. Intelligence emerged because intelligent creatures lived long enough to pro-create and spread their genes.

Yes, evolution is a powerful force, but there's no particular reason that I'm aware of to think that we, as human, without our own intelligence and reasoning abilities, can't engineer other intelligences.
Eurasia has lost enough groundwater to affect the movement of the North Pole. That's my theory: groundwater is being consumed by people faster than it's being replenished.

Understanding Mesh Networking, Part II: Protocols and Performance
I do think that there's an innate component to attraction, just as you suggest.

But we also know that mental habits, repeated for years, become deep visceral reactions. And society programs our unconscious attitudes in a way that's difficult to appreciate simply through conscious introspection.

It's actually hard to know what you'd be attracted to, if you lived in a society that truly accepted/encouraged same-sex attraction. Maybe you'd be the same. Maybe you'd have dated guys once or twice, but ended up straight. Maybe you'd have five kids with a male partner. It's hard to say - it's an experiment that hasn't been run.
Pretty much, yeah :)

The problem with neuroscience is that they know nothing. For instance, it was considered true that neurons in the brain dont change and adapt, and then the concept of nueroplasticity came along, it was revolutionary. Twenty years later, a new study comes along and says that our brains are not as dynamic as we thought afterall. Human history is ripe with "experts" who were wrong, sometimes for centuries.

Bias is everywhere, but the amount of it varies. In physics, the standard for saying something is "true" is usually a 5(1 in 2 million) or 6(one in 500 million) sigma chance that the fact is not true. In the social sciences, people publish results with a 1 in 20 chance the paper's results are false (and other problems with most social science papers makes the real chance of truth even lower). It is quite useful to have a mindset that is less binary when searching for the truth. I try and calibrate my thinking to "How likely is this to be true" and be constantly updating my view of things with new evidence. Most successful truth seekers I know do the same.
Tesla can drive more than most people can. People needs breaks and cars can charge when people do too. Therefore Tesla owners don't seem to have any issues with range in US. They just need dense enough grid of superchargers.
Another thing is that at the time only other ISA designer that really cared about this market was Hitachi with it's SuperH (and then founded Renesas with the sole intent of becoming meaningful ARM competitor, which obviously didn't happen).

You could get usable low power microcontrollers and almost-SoCs with ARM cores in late 90's. While there were SoCs with other 32b RISC cores they typically were intended for mains powered high performance applications ranging from DVD players to network equipment.

Please don't do this!

All you have accomplished really is to move the descriptive name from the variable's name to the variable's type, and at what cost? You now have to create a whole new datatype. The programmer must look up that datatype and see oh, it's just an int. And now you need conversion routines or worse yet casting to convert that type to a simple int for interop reasons (database, UI).

Experience has shown that it is very productive to have a small number of generally useful datatypes which are augmented by custom datatypes.

Creating a new datatype for something as simple as an int or String defeats that and makes it more cumbersome to work with. (It's especially unwarranted for a variable that is an immutable variable serving as a simple id.)
I can appreciate that, and it is a refreshing attitude.

I used to lucid dream pretty naturally, then stopped because I started getting very regular sleep paralysis.

Nowadays when I do end up lucid dreaming (most often by accident) I notice a fairly significant drop in sleep quality.

Even worse, I sometimes lucid dream, then "awaken" into another dream where I'm not lucid and those experiences really fuck with me.

On a different note I'd love to get a high quality sleep-tracking night mask. Most of the "smart" ones I know of have awful battery life. I don't want another device to charge every few days.
That's the popular portrayal, but the reality is more complicated; the territory doesn't change hands, but the rights and responsibilities of the two states are governed by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, which exempts the premise from most controls of the recieving state (but, for instance, radios can only be installed on the premises with the permission of the receiving State.)
