It's remarkable to see how Zooniverse has branched out into so many fields and different projects now. An interesting andecdote I have from grad school is that another student was working on a project, a component of which involved classifying galaxies. He was very interested in developing a machine learning approach, but his advisor suggested instead of spending several months refining the approach and tuning the tools available, to put it on Zooniverse instead. The dedicated folks at Zooniverse finished the entire sample of more than 1e7 galaxies in less than twenty four hours. It was straight forward to set up their program and the information they received was very high quality. His takeaway was that (for how much of a bandwagon machine learning is at the moment in astronomy) it's unique that there are a huge number of dedicated individuals donating their time for the betterment of human knowledge in the Zooniverse program, and it often may not make sense to painstakingly apply the hottest ML techniques when something like it is available.

> In 1895, the German drug company Bayer marketed diacetylmorphine as an over-the-counter drug under the trademark name Heroin.[69] It was developed chiefly as a morphine substitute for cough suppressants that did not have morphine's addictive side-effects. Morphine at the time was a popular recreational drug, and Bayer wished to find a similar but non-addictive substitute to market. However, contrary to Bayer's advertising as a "non-addictive morphine substitute," heroin would soon have one of the highest rates of addiction among its users.[70]

Yes; any framework or tooling that relies on runtime imports (eval is OK, just not eval-from-file) is not going to work with rather a lot of compiled-python programs.

It's possible to build shims that support "import module if running interpreted python; just point to already-loaded/compiled code (or eval a string, ew, but if you must) if not", but many large projects do not do that. It is likely not too painful to implement/send a PR for though.

You can only cheat the second law of thermodynamics by emitting your entropy on the rest of the universe, and assuming the universe is a closed system, then the heat death of the universe prophesied by the second law of thermodynamics still puts a hard upper limit on human lifespan.

Which is basically the crux of this whole disagreement--sure, it's scientifically possible to live orders of magnitude than we currently live, but even if you live for a million years, you're just punting on the question of mortality, you're not answering it.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's probably for similar reasons that you chose PyTorch over Tensorflow :)
The workflow is using Git as a realtime state-synchronization primitive (like Operational Transformations in Google Docs), not an SCM. The point is to push the commits over to the other person as soon as they're created, and for the other person to pull them and rebase against them as soon as they're created.

Unlike character-by-character OT sync, though, each synced Git commit does represent a working codebase. You could theoretically retroactively grab huge numbers of these commits and squash them down and describe the result—though multiple independent things might have happened in them that would be very difficult to untangle, given that, in this workflow, it's entirely possible that two separate people are working collaboratively on two separate features, in the same file, at the same time.
I'm a senior SWE.
The argument against this is simple. Rats and Humans are both mammals. Yet rats age an order of magnitude faster than humans, and they display precisely the same old age symptoms as they age. A rat is old at 2 or 3, and a human is old at 70 or 80. (Dogs and many other animals are in-between). This strongly indicates that aging is a biologically engineered process, optimized for each species.

That isn't to say there isn't some limit imposed by physics. Just that the limit doesn't appear relevant to what we call aging. The argument some have made below that physics imposes an age limit on a cell makes sense. Physics could impose limits on the lifespan of an organism’s replaceable parts — that could well be why organisms continually need to replace them.

I'm not sure why the majority of your comment is focusing on how plausible it is that they would do something evil. It couldn't be less relevant to my comment.

Like I said, my point doesn't rely on any assumptions about Facebook's morality as an organization, just some baseline of competency. I know organizations have done stupider things, but I can't think of a similar org taking an action whose _first-order_ effect would so obviously be the opposite of what they intended. It's far more common and far more plausible that they didn't consider the second-order PR effects of an algorithmically-enforced broad policy they have.
Also, RISC-V completely defeats the benefits that Mike Abrash & co. designed into the ISA. LRBni was x86 based, but certainly had a lot of highly-CISC-y features. At minimum, fused load-op & store-op, in addition to replicated mask setting. For instance, one of the most important instruction primitives was the instruction 'addsets'; for registers A, B, and K

A += B
sets K to the sign bit of scalar float in A

Which is an odd duck, except if you knew this function's nickname: "the rasterizer". LRBni was chock full of these instructions; they were added because Mike knew what the hotspots were in building SW rasterizers after decades of experience.

There were a few other instructions that were implemented (MAD233) and not implemented (full permute) that were needed to finish out the performance profile.

In addition, LRB was designed so (almost) every instruction retired in 4 stages. Each 'core' was a 4-wide barrel shifter so, except for a wart dealing with RAW mask register ops, all instructions (including fused test-jmps) retired "the next cycle".

LRB died on it's shit backbone (the triple ring). If they'd had a proper message-passing cache, with a parallel scratch RAM next to the cache hierarchy it'd have knocked everyone's socks off---even in 2009, three years late.
Yeah it's the fastest feature in GMail - reaches /dev/null in mere ns.
100% agree, infact I now use it as an example to our CTO who is absolutely deadset on actively spending time on replacing our inhouse expert UI frontends (currently written in native UIs, blazing fast etc) with web frontends. Yes they can be effective + fast, but telling a room of native devs to convert everything to web will end badly if not given the proper support.
I'm not sure what your environment of choice is, but I use Python with Django which has great built-in email/password auth and a really nice user admin tool[0] if that's all your looking for.

For third-party authentication/authorization, I use the python-social-auth django integration[1]. It has a massive number of third-party systems that it can connect to and it's really simple to get it set up. I would guess your language of choice has similar tools. I know passport[2] for nodejs is a solid choice.

There doesn't seem to be much demand for backwards compatibility from a framework. I use Web2py [1] which has remained backwards compatible for 10 years or so but I don't think has garnered much traction amongst high profile projects. It does require a bit of discretion and restraint but is doable while continuing to make progress.

I don't like lumping "add test & pass" together. It's very easy to accidentally write a test that doesn't test what you think it tests, and actually passes even without the "fix" applied. I do think it's very important to verify that the test fails without the associated change applied.

This breaks `git bisect`, so maybe they shouldn't be separate commits in the public commit log, but they should be separate commits while you're working on it.
The mistakes people make with Maruchan are cooking it too long and using the whole seasoning packet. Keep those noodles springy and supplement some small portion of the seasoning with condiments you already have.
It's also worth noting that, in a sense, the shell is actually shrinking. Every moment, more of our observable universe disappears "beyond the veil", so-to-speak, as the universe on our side of the edge transitions from near-light-speed to beyond light-speed outside the shell. (I know that's a sloppy way to use the speed of light, but it works for me.)
Interesting, but I don't think I'll be giving up 4 years worth of OneNote web clips that do the same thing, but with more flexibility and compatability...
For those interested in the RISC-V and the possibility of GPU type of things. I can mention some stuff that might not be well known.

RISC-V is devloping a Vector extension (V) will allow SIMD style programming with a variable vector length.

See from the last workshop:

Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4fxBZD79gc

Project Update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESu9NI3h1Y4

Initially part of the standard was also a Vector Type field for each register, and that would have allowed different types, such as Tensors, Matrix and so on.

This has been removed from the initial Vector extension proposal but work on this will continue. At least one company is already actively devloping hardware for V with Tensors (see below), sadly not open-source.

This Libre GPU project is going a slightly different route targeting the Simple-V, a slimmer version of the Vector extension, Simple-V. See: http://hands.com/~lkcl/simple_v_chennai_2018.pdf

Esperanto Technology is devloping a chip (and IP) that will do this, but it will be closed source (as far as we know).

Ah yes, the ends justify the means.
I've gotten better at it with time and so will you. Learn from your past mistakes/misquotes.

I analyse each task involved in a project and estimate the hours per task. When in doubt I try to split up the tasks even further. When done I add 10-20%. For me, if the price feels a tiny bit too high it's usually fair for both me and the client.

If I get good ideas for extras I propose them to the client while or after delivering the initial project. Don't add it for free unless you can afford it.
Right. Users don't give a hoot what language the software is written in, what design patterns you're using, if you're functionally immutable. The code is there to serve a purpose. If it crashes, it fails; the root cause doesn't really matter to the user.
So people who do care would care and people who don't care already don't care. But trying to appeal to people who would care without any evidence is really pointless.
Sure, but you should only credit the providers of the cash uf you believe they deserved it in the first place.

While I do eat instant noodles, I prefer the other kind, the ones that are sometimes called egg noodles (at least here in India).

Not particularly for the egg content (which is low), but because, while instant noodles are tasty (somewhat, and more so when you add spices and veggies to them, which I do), I feel they do not satisfy hunger for long.

But the other (egg) kind both seems to be tastier (all other things being the same) and satiates you for somewhat longer.

Maybe it is due to the egg kind being made with atta (whole-wheat flour), or something close to it.

At least Maggi, Top Ramen and such instant noodle brands are made with maida (refined wheat flour).

People in India often think and say that atta is both tastier and better for health (due to more nutrients and fiber). More so in the villages.

I used to do some farming long back, and have heard many villagers say that they prefer to eat only chapatis / rotis made of atta (particularly in Maharashtra and central Indian states like Madhya Pradesh), and I agree with that.

I only make a rare exception if I want to eat chole bhature at a restaurant, where the bhaturas (deep-fried) are usually made with maida. And I still have to finish them fast, because they get tougher and difficult to eat within seconds.

Just my opinion and 2c. Interested to know if others have noticed any such difference.
Bad websites don’t imply dumb UX people, more likely bad incentives and objectives.

The new GMail seems like a more functional “new Reddit”. It achieves a certain look and was probably metric driven, but didn’t really address what users care about.

As a casual GMail user, I like it. But it would drive me crazy if I had to work with it all day with my work mail volume.
As a user I'm more often annoyed by autocompletion not working when it should. Either disabled by the developer or just defunct.

However they might want to step up their game on not trying to fill every user/password field they find. For example, Gitlab repository mirror settings will be autofilled with your login credentials and they will be saved if you don't pay attention to yellow boxes.

Exactly this. Decline a 3x paying job, there’s another 1000 developers behind in line. You take a loss on personal income, Facebook carries on being Facebook, and nothing will change, except having less money in your bank account.

Let's admit it. You would never be happy regardless of what Tesla does. Goalposts will always move. Tesla sold only 100 cars in 2011. It is nothing short of a miracle that they are on track to produce and sell >200k cars in 7 years time. A miss here and there are irrelevant. As for capital raise. Who cares, there is unlimited capital in this world courtesy of Middle East sovereign funds. There is a story in HN front page about a Chinese startup without any revenue raising $1.5bn. It is time for Tesla skeptics to admit that they were wrong and recognize the sheer audacity of Tesla's achievements. It is time to admit defeat.
>>Mark cant have an opinion

NONSENSE.

Zuckerberg only thinks he can't, and that <not having an opinion> is not itself an opinion.

These platforms focus on exploiting emotion and seeking 'engagement' to maximize time on platform and ads viewed/interacted with.

This creates a strong bias towards false information, since it appears to be more novel/surprising/engaging. Even without active corrupt injection of lies, conspiracy theories, dezinformatsiya, provokatsiya, etc., this will bend away from the truth.

They need to focus strongly on filtering for facts and truth, and yes, that means suppressing all of the above.

Zuck thinks he's not in the business of publishing, despite corralling all the biggest publishes onto his platform, adn providing advertising to the likes of Russian trolls and Cambridge Analytica.

He needs to recognize what he is actually doing and take editorial responsibility for his platform.
