I suspect that some context has been lost. 'Invisible' probably doesn't mean literally transparent. It may mean invisible to God, a free pass for sin. That would dovetail with the other powers of this device.
Rabies isn't that uncommon in the US - uncommon in domestic animals, sure, but I shot a likely rabid skunk a couple of weeks ago. It was out during the day, was walking at an angle, and was aggressive toward me.
In the short-term, Zuckerberg maybe the CEO, but if he keeps prioritizing ads over product (which he has done with FB prod/privacy), then the long-term maybe dicey.

Just as content is king, so product will always be king. The ads will follow whoever has the best product, and hence user attention.
They were based on skill, but you could also note that the skill requirements varied in ways that were designed to encourage even unskilled players to feel like they could advance with "just one more".

I get your point about the addition of randomness, though. Its an interesting element and it does change things relative to the arcade scenario. Personally, I think that it is largely there to make the system not feel as much like pay-to-win as it actually is.
I mean religion as a whole smells like a fabrication, but that's just me. I never said anything about truth or not in my previous statement, just that it's a logical nightmare, which you're admitting it is.

And I'm sure in the past those lawsuits and collective barganing got them provided PPE, equipment, training, showers etc that let them do their jobs better and more safely. As well as health coverage and other things for dealing with the after effects of accidents, sicknss, etc.
Well that's an extreme too far. Your life is not predetermined at birth. But our options from moment to moment might be limited by our biology. Some of them are weighted by the circumstances of our births. Every day something that we might have absolutely no control of personally might change the course of our lives for the better or worst.

You are you after all. But you are also still just a human being, subject to their quirks, foibles and limitations too.

> We just don't have enough knowledge to fast forward the simulation?

Well we could simulate a trillion possible outcomes because we're talking a simulation that involves a trillion variables. Which one would definitely occur we could only be sure in hindsight.

Maybe just like how computers can't truly generate a random number, we can make it appear virtually random. Maybe freewill is somewhat similar in that regard, that there's quite a bit of freedom in a lot of choices, but overall it's not absolutely free will that we're operating on.
I think there's a clear mapping of the Tidelift model to this, and there's also some customer demand from people building embedded systems.

As a practical matter it's a bit different from what we built first, both in terms of what customers are looking for / who the customers are, and in terms of the technical details of how we'd analyze dependencies. So we don't have support for it yet. But I would like to figure it out when we have enough team bandwidth.
Ok, I will give some instructions. Unfortunately, it's not an easy way. It's mainly websites.

1. Know your numbers: How much do you need to live? How much do you spend each month? How much money can you save up in your job every year?

2. Save up. Live extremely cheap and save every penny. You need enough money to live for ~9-12 months without any income, e.g. if you need 1200€ you need to save minimum €14k - no holidays and expensive stuff until you've reached your number. This is your lifeline money.

3. Save a little more: You need to invest money to make money. You need about €5-10k minimum for investments (buying domain names, themes, content, designs, ...)

4. You have saved up €20-30k? Continue the plan. Otherwise continue to live extremely frugal and increase your income.

5. There are many ways now: build websites, AirBnB, flipping stuff, writing books ... - first, you have to build something. After you've found something that works, you continue to increase the profit margin and automate the process (also utilizing manual labour). You can only do this if you already have some money, this is the reasoning behind step 1 and 2.

- - -

In my calculations, you need to invest roughly €30-40k to make €1-3k/month in completely passive income (I achieved it with 5-10k, but I was lucky).
It's definitely achievable in 3-4 years to save this amount of money if you commit to a frugal lifestyle, save up and invest it correctly (I achieved it in some months, but as I said, I was lucky).

I think it's not fair to sell you the idea that it's easy - although my journey was extremely straightforward, I know that most people struggle to even make a dollar online. But I can assure you that you will find a way if you're committed to leave your day job behind.

But please make sure that you have enough savings, I know many people who left their job and after 6 months they ran out of money. You don't want to be the defeated one who wasn't well prepared for this type of lifestyle.
It's fine for exactly what the article describes: a student doing projects at home.

For anything bigger than that, you'll quickly run into issues. Try talking to your ops team and telling them you want to set up a mid-range desktop PC with extra RAM and a high end graphics card as a DL workstation. I think you'll very quickly find some friction, especially once you want to go into production with it.
It's worth noting that the exploitation and atrocity aren't only historical and associated with forebears -- it's ongoing and being done by folks in the present day.

Google doesn't need to read my mail to make a good webmail interface. Google doesnt need to track me 24/7 to tell me where XYZ restaurant is on the map. These are complex services, but nothing magical about them - if Google didn't kill all competition in the space by offering a (admittedly, very good) free service, you would probably be paying a couple of bucks a year for one of the ~5 leading apps in competition with eachother.

"I can totally understand that some soils are better used for this kind of sustainable grazing. Other soils are great for growing crops."

One could readily argue that most soils are better used for sustainable grazing. Tillage is very intrusive, destructive and unnatural. Most food crops require tillage.

I used Montana as an example of a soil that would be quickly destroyed with a little bit of tillage. Luckily most soil isn't as fragile as Montana's, but virtually all soil is damaged by tillage.

It's all moot though -- our current level of meat consumption is way above the level that can be met through sustainable grazing.
Many two-year-olds do.
I wish the algo changes the preferences based on the time etc. S, if you can set "work hours," or label it that way, it will play the sort of the music you like during those hours, while something else for other times. You can have multiple "moods" set - one for commuting, one for partying, one for night time etc.
Github pages is quite convenient, and I believe you can use a custom domain with it.

I currently use a droplet hosted on Digitalocean for my website, but it's definitely more effort to maintain than a Github pages site would be.
And the same can be said about can in fact pretty much be said by any AWS service.

The equivalent of an i3 metal is probably around 30000 to 40000$ with Dell or HP, and probably half cheaper if self assembled (like a supermicro server). AWS i3.metal will cost 43000 annually, so even more than the acquisition cost of the server, server which will last probably around 5 year.

But if you start taking into account all the logistic, additional skills, people and processes needed to maintain a rack in a DC, plus the additional equipment (network gears, KVMs, etc). The cost win is far less evident and it also generally adds delays when product requirements changes.

Fronting the capital can be an issue for many companies, specially the smaller ones, and for the bigger ones, repurposing the hardware bought for a failed project/experiment is not always evident.

I believe this paradox applies to any congested highway with a robust network of side streets around it. If everyone could agree to take side streets for half of their trip, the side streets could easily absorb the extra traffic without slowing down, and the highway would be able to flow freely, shortening everyone's total commute time. But no single person can improve their commute by switching to the side streets alone.

It's been this way since day 1. NVLINK remains the only real Tesla differentiator (although mini NVLINK is available on the new Turing consumer GPUs so WTFever). But because none of the DL frameworks support intra-layer model parallelism, all of the networks we see tend to run efficiently in data parallel because doing anything else makes them communication-limited, which they aren't because data scientists end up building networks that aren't, chicken and the egg style.

I continue to be boggled that Alex Krizhevsky's One Weird Trick never made it to TensorFlow or anywhere else:

I also suspect that's why so many thought leaders consider ImageNet to be solved, when what's really solved is ImageNet-1K. That leaves ~21K more outputs on the softmax of the output layer for ImageNet-22K, which to my knowledge, is still not solved. A 22,000-wide output sourced by a 4096-wide embedding is 90K+ parameters (which is almost 4x as many parameters in the entire ResNet-50 network).

All that said, while it will always be cheaper to buy your ML peeps $10K quad-GPU workstations and upgrade their consumer GPUs whenever a brand new shiny becomes available, be aware NVIDIA is very passive aggressive about this following some strange magical thinking that this is OK for academics, but not OK for business. My own biased take is it's the right solution for anyone doing research, and the cloud is the right solution for scaling it up for production. Silly me.

You can do that, too.

OTOH, If you do that in a way which is offensive to the ideals of a large group, you may not like the consequences when they, to, attempt to “enact any of the conclusions that may naturally flow from” their ideals, especially if you are seeking a job with a high profile public role in an organization which survives on the political support of a group which overlaps significantly with the most offended group by your action.

Seems like they didn't know when to leave. Once they sold it was no longer their baby and should have started working on an exit strategy. It becomes a contest of egos.

On the technical side, FB's methodology with acquisitions seemed the most rational. Rather than sucking the new company in they embedded PE's in there for the purpose of giving the tech teams a fast track to using FB resources.
Being able to do that for embedded software is also a sign that things are changing. For the longest time embedded devices were only programmable from a vendor supported IDE (looking at you TI and Cypress). At least now the open source community have figured out how to get around the limitations and the tools are starting to flourish with increasing vendor support.
I think it's a bit cruel to compare multi-billion-dollar businesses with a lone guy doing his thing. None of those services started small.
It's a fact that there isn't yet a good recommendation engine for podcasts out there. There are tons of clients relying on a few (relatively dumb) directories.

But nature doesn't think or plan. There's no grand design. It's just as valid to assume our rabid desire for the latest iThing is merely the ant crawling to the top of the blade of grass.

We were just the necessary step to get the earth hotter for the next phase in microbe and insect development.

Hi, original author of the linked post here. Thanks for the input. However, consent is not related to the concept. In fact it's more about taking into account the state of the art, the cost of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for rights and freedoms of natural persons posed by the processing, the controller shall, both at the time of the determination of the means for processing and at the time of the processing itself, implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, such as pseudonymisation, which are designed to implement data-protection principles, such as data minimisation, in an effective manner and to integrate the necessary safeguards into the processing in order to meet the requirements of this Regulation and protect the rights of data subjects.

Additionally, the controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed. That obligation applies to the amount of personal data collected, the extent of their processing, the period of their storage and their accessibility. In particular, such measures shall ensure that by default personal data are not made accessible without the individual's intervention to an indefinite number of natural persons.

Thanks.
Just wanted to share that I am dealign with a similar situation and I feel the same way. In my case I am convinced my Mom has schizophrenia but she refuses to be evaluated. She is also a bright woman who has screwed up her life by accusing everybody who cares about her of stealing from her or working against her in some grand conspiracy. Everything revolves around her and everything is always somebody else's fault. When I was a kid I believed the world was working against us but when I grew up I realized that was not true it was just my Mom. A small piece of me cares for her but most of me hates her.
Why? Why is that arrogant?

Interesting piece. The role Tolstoy played in Ghandi's non-violence was new to me, for one.

That's a bad comparison. Generally, shrinking the size of a packaged good is a way to compensate for inflation without sticker shock, a huge problem in a very price-sensitive market like groceries. The chief the government measures inflation, in fact, is the Consumer Price Index, which measures the cost of a "basket" of consumer goods. [0]

The cost of flying, on the other hand, has fallen dramatically since deregulation. [1]

Wow.

My video kit is a GH4, GH3, and G7 for live or recorded-to-external events, so I am plenty deep in hock to Panasonic. But I did not expect that they would have a way to get even more of my money. I've been considering a Sony full-frame as a photo camera with some backup video usage but Panasonic has so much goodwill with me that I will probably hold off until I can play with an S1 or S1R and make a decision.

I don't get excited about cameras much anymore, but...dang.

Here's how I'll think about it.

Forget the options for a minute. Let's say you plan on being there for 2 yrs.

20k - (280*12) -5 = 11640

Option A = $11640 before taxes. ~$7000 after taxes.

is $7000 after taxes going to matter to you? If you don't have those, would you be fine? If it matters then option A is looking better.

Now look at the business fundamentals, you know these companies better, how long have they been in business. How much did they both raise in A & B rounds? B2B or B2C? B2B always, what's the number of customers they currently have? How's traction? Who are the competition in the industry? Who are the founders and C suites? How many employees, what's on glassdoor & blind? What's their tech stack? Any well known folks in the industry working there? This is a full day work of research, put it all together and see who looks likely to make it to the finish line?

If A is more likely to succeed, easy, go with A.
If B is more likely, then does that extra $7000 from A really matter? If not, go with B.
If it matters, can you work some side gigs? 20hrs a month at $50 will get you the same $7000 at the end of the year? If you can work some side gigs, then B.
If you can't work side gigs and need that $7000, can you downsize and give up some things? Nope? Then option A.
> Then ditch android which is the spy in your pocket.

To what? iOS spies even more by default (no way to disable AGPS vs. opt in on Android) and doesn't allow using privacy-enabling apps by default (system-wide ad/tracker blocker, real Firefox, Signal, local maps, etc.) unless you hack your phone. Worse, it doesn't let you develop for your own phone without rebuilding weekly or paying a yearly fee for the privilege. Between the two evils of Google and Apple, Google remains the lesser evil by a long stretch.
This really depends on what domain you are focusing on entering.
Creating the Catalog, Before and After FRBR (2017)
I appreciate the vouch. Some folks on twitter sent me some screenshots of folks coordinating on both IRC and a Discord to bring more accounts in to flag and downvote my posts. One of them was specifically defending ESR.

This entire thread and article is not about the terms of the CoC. The article has no real complaints about its specific clauses or content. People here do not claim content greivances either, they claim it's part of "identity politics" (as opposed to non-identical-based politics which totally are white men's politics) down their throats, and talk about the final consequences and slippery slopes they vaguely threaten to invoke.

This article and this discussion are about cutural control. The Linux leadership has made a decision and specific people who promote bias-white and bias-male identity politics are looking to threaten a challenge for that control.

> I'm not strictly disagreeing with you: calling someone to task for something they said publicly might be plenty reasonable but "We will hunt you down and make you own your opinions publicly." Might be inappropriate too

I don't think this is about being an asshole, or civility. For many people this about the right to live, or the right for essential human rights, or the right for redress for centuries-long policies of inequality and destruction.

The fact that folks want to paint the simple act of being open about political contributions (which used to be required) as a bias in and of itself is telling.

Let's have this debate in public. With our real names and faces, and even stakes for everyone.

I’m not going to downvote you, but if you don’t suffer from social anxiety, you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. As someone who is affected by it, I can tell you it’s soul crushing when it prevents you from making a move out of a bad situation. It’s completely paralyzing.
