Why does this matter? Does anybody seriously question whether the basic math can work? So somebody found a nice parallel between pilot wave theory and another physical phenomenon, but then the parallel wasn't as strong as thought. This experiment is the equivalent of arguing that light isn't a particle because your tennis ball doesn't bounce off the wall the way you thought it would.

When I saw the droplet experiments, I thought "that's cool, but it doesn't prove anything about pilot wave theory because the arguments are over much deeper things than what this is demonstrating". Debunking it is just as meaningless. The people who actually know about this stuff are arguing over determinism and non-locality and what not. I thought oil droplets are just a nice way to introduce people to the concept.

Disclaimer: I don't really know anything about any of this
So, am I right in thinking that we have.

1. Theory X hypothesizes Q

2. Phenomenon Y models theory X

3. Phenomenon Y does not demonstrate Q

Surely there would be an insurmountable burden of proof on 2. Similarity does not mean identical. For any Y claiming to be the same as X, why can't it be rebutted with a "No it isn't" Proving that they are the same would be a different thing altogether but if as the article suggests X is not fully defined, it strikes me as impossible to prove. It just ends up in the not-falsifiable bin.
Uh, not really? I'm pretty sure that identifiers are automatically replaced somehow with conventional editors but a general minification to the degree required by IOCCC is never automatic.

If you are interested in an actual minification process of a winning IOCCC entry, Don Yang [1], who has eight (!) winning entries, has put a compressed screencast alongside with recent winning entries (example: [2] is a screencast for [3]). My experience (I too have one winning entry) had been similar.

> you will make a sizable fraction of the maximum, no matter how far or near it will go

That won't be true if the price goes high enough. By realistic counter example:

So you start when BTC is at about 10c. You mine around 2000 bitcoins (not bad, $200 for using your old 5870 that was collecting dust). Your card burns out so you quit mining, but implement the above strategy.

You sell 500 at 20c, 375 at 40c, 280 at 80c, etc.

Once bitcoin hits $13k, you have about 10btc left and have made $32k out of your possible gains of $20M.

I would say that less than 1 percent is not a sizeable fraction.

Of course, you would make a sizeable fraction if the price weren't able to double so many times, but the above example is actually quite realistic for some.
That's absolutely right. There's nothing surprising in this article, and it doesn't provide any new support to any theory.

I don't think creating a surveillance dystopia that gives corporations and potentially evil governments enormous powers over the population is quite the right price to pay for free news.

I believe that it would be great if free news is available to everyone, but there are alternate ways of achieving it. For instance, in a microtransaction system giving poor people a reasonable sum to spend every month.

In the parent’s defense, people write a lot more cryptic Python than they do other languages. There are no metaclasses in Go nor abused operator overloads or half-baked DSLs. People don’t use dictionaries as structs to hang off whatever they like.

It’s kind of a penny wise and pound foolish approach. Arguably it’s not python’s fault, but that’s a poor consolation for folks who have to deal with these messes.

There are a countless ways of funding news. The reason for the current obsession with invasive tracking and advertising to offer "free" access is because it's seen as most profitable. Make it not profitable and newspapers don't go away - the profit model changes.
NYTimes is $16/mo
Washington Post is $10-15/mo
WSJ is $15/mo

Seems like the price range is $10-25/mo for many periodicals, so a bundled plan of $20/month might be a bit low.

But I can imagine a $50/mo plan for including two national newspapers, a local newspaper, and a news weekly (e.g., economist) being pretty popular.
That replaced mostly manual labor with mostly manual labor. The millions of people involved in the horse industry supply chain, went to cities and they and their descendants worked in factories. A horse required a lot of non-mass-produced infrastructure to support, the feed, the shoes, the buggy, the saddle. There were millions employed in this industry.

That was replaced by cars. And while industrial machines automated a lot of what used to be manual blacksmith/tradeskills work, cars were made from thousands of parts, which required a massive new supply chain.

Software automation is completely different, it scales and replicates in ways that don't require new replacement labor. WhatsApp serviced 1 billion users with 33 employees. That's scale.

So when self driving trucks kill 8 million trucking supply chain jobs and self driving cars do reduce the need for car ownership, for parking attendants, valets, meter maids, traffic cops, uber drivers, etc, low skilled people won't suddenly find those millions of jobs replaced with similar jobs with similar skill levels in another vertical. They'll just be....GONE.

And keep in mind, the "gig" economy largely replaced good, reliable, jobs with temporary, inconsistent, jobs. The industrial era, with it's big centralized unions, who regularized pay, the work week, benefits, pensions, et al, was not re-invented for the new service and gig industry.

The idea that technological advancement doesn't create structural unemployment is largely an article of faith. What it means to have a middle class, blue collar, skilled position with predictable work/life balance, income, and benefits has largely evaporated for a good chunk of the country. What comes next after automated logistics, automated factory assembly, automated deliver and self-driving vehicles? Hell, Google Duplex even shows you a lot of the frontdesk services can be reduced along with concierge services to only those instances that go off the rails.

We better start thinking about these problems and stop with dogmatic faith that something big will come along to employ all the displaced people. I'm talking about either universal basic income, government make-work, or something no one's thought of yet.

For me a far bigger irritation in Java is Design Pattern abuse. It makes code far more unreadable than any macro code I've seen so far.

Its a big like what Larry Wall talks about code complexity(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbed_theory). Basically if say a language X provides in built feature to do complex task Y, and it a little hard to understand. In another language Z which lacks the feature, the code that one has to write to achieve Y will be equally complicated and hard if not more.
I was thinking about the double-slit problem the other day, and was trying to make connections to any other phenomenon that exists in the natural world and I think I came up with one.

In conditional probability theory, there exists something called the boy or girl paradox. The paradox shows that the likelihood of an event can be drastically affected by how you know even seemingly innocuous information. I think that observation of the atoms passing through the slit is affecting the search space for the other atoms in such a way that we currently do not understand. This observation while seemingly innocuous has a drastic affect on the distribution which would explain why we see such confounding results. It follows the same logic as this other naturally occurring phenomenon so I think its an avenue at least worth exploring.

An example of the paradox would be if I told you that my neighbor has 2 children and at least one of them is a boy. If I asked you what the probability that their other child is a girl, normally the result would be 2 / 3, but if I know one child is a boy because I spot him in front of a tree then the odds his other child is a girl drops to 1 / 2.

So what are the latency numbers for some common devices? (apart from the 7 ms visible in the hello oboe screenshot)
rm -rf / is a completely software operation. It should completely wipe your system. It should not render your hardware inoperable. I don't expect or want it to wipe my BIOS or GPU firmware or NIC firmware or any other hardware component that happens to be attached at that time that has an EEPROM or otherwise reprogrammable microcontroller. That's insane.

Unfortunately, this is unlikely to improve latency on devices which already don't have 'good latency'. Reviewing the linked doc, this is a 'high level' API whos goal is possibly more about streamlining the API across multiple recent releases, while I'm sure, addressing latency as best it can. The problem is that this API still sits on top of other lower (and already existing api's) aaudio for current releases and opensles for older. A large part of Android audio latency is down to the HAL layer that each vendor provides. Andoid as a framework offers support for varying degrees of latency, but it's up to the vendor supplying the audio HAL to support this. This is exposed through the low_latency prop check (or 'professional' in recent releases). If the vendor HAL doesn't support 'low latency' through reduced buffer sizes and efficient (or no) locking etc, there's nothing a high level API like this can do, other than bypass the HAL and talk to ALSA directly, but this breaks the whole architecture.

> Whats different about the internet version of newspapers?

High quality newspapers used to be the only way of getting information. Today, those same newspapers generally still serve high quality material, but they now compete against tons of low quality material.

So in the past, if you were poor and didn't have access to high quality newspapers, you were simply ignorant. Now if you're poor, you have access to low quality news, which can lead ignorance, and much worse.

BitLocker only allows you ten attempts to enter the TPM PIN, and if the bootloader is modified by an attacker, the TPM will refuse to release the key.

Sorry, Actually, it's 45ms.

android.hardware.audio.pro indicates a continuous round-trip latency of 20 ms or less
Letting trackers track you gives them a lot of information including what pages you visited, some sites can put your email in the url like site.com?email=myemail ...
so this trackers will know exactly who you are and what websites you visited. If they fingerprint your browser then they can de-anonymise your private session and will know what you visited in private mode too (this works only for pages that include the respective trackers obviously)

So here is an alternative, browsers will save your private history too, then you go to the website and they will ask for your history, you will have a big button named "Pay with my history and identity", after that you can visit the website without extra JS tracking, in this model all is transparent to the user, you also gain no tracking but you lose the ability to clear your browser history and private mode won't be private.

I personally prefer to block tracking and fingerprinting. When I get the GDPR popup I will close the tab, I don't even try to work around it.

Upvoted. As much as I'm against ads, this is a strong point. Hell, your "first perspective" is what I consider to be the only redeeming aspect of ad-driven models. And it's not just about people who can barely get on-line at all. It's also about kids, who would like to peruse the same content on the Internet as adults do, but have no means of paying for it.

Still, this is a problem to be solved, not an unsurmountable obstacle. Ad-driven model, the way it looks today, is unacceptable.
That's a fair observation. Though, I think the thought experiment to about the distance between the two slits as irrelevant to QM more concretely disproves the pilot wave theory.

Most physicists when asked about QM will just say that this is a useful model to predict the outcomes of experiments. In fact the most successful model, ever. The magic that happens in the middle is currently untestable and thus uninteresting beyond philosophy.

The problem with determinism is that it introduces more complexity to the model without improving any accuracy. Moreover, it doesn't help us predict the outcome of any experiments.

Even if this experiment was successful, who cares? Does it change the math or predictions? Science works in a very simple way. We have evidence about how the universe works. We make models to explain that evidence. The models also make predictions about new evidence that we would expect to see. New evidence appears and either confirms or limits the domain of the model. Basically nothing but gravity has limited the domain of QM.
Since you can buy targeted ads in many places, venues that only offer untargeted ads are not competitively attractive unless they happen to appeal directly to a specific demographic you're after. And building extensive user profiles on massive numbers of people is something that can be monetized and otherwise exploited in a practically countless number of ways beyond advertising. For instance many news sites have now become overtly partisan and these profiles can be used to manipulate the general political process through razor sharp targeting and 'customized' messaging.

Another thing is that even though most sites say they will not sell user information, the main motivation for that is economic, not moral. It's not a sustainable business model. Sell that information once and you've mostly blown your load, as the incremental improvements on that information are only going to be worth a fraction of the initial payload and it's something that will be get 'shared'.

If a profit model emerged where selling user information could be a sustainable business they'd go back on that in a heart beat. In the terms alongside any promises of protection for your information will be a clause stating that, 'We can change these terms whenever we like to whatever we like.

> Maybe not at those exact numbers, but you'd probably be willing to pay some substantial amount more, because that strategy (retargeting) works measurably better for converting an ad view into a purchase.

I do believe that, but I also wonder... Retargeting, i.e. ads of particular product stalking you everywhere you go, is the single method that so far guarantees I just won't buy the advertised thing, out of pure spite. It's also the one aspect of ad experience that I see regular people noticing and getting angry about. I wonder how big an impact of such reaction there is on retargeted ad performance, and if ad people even factor it into their calculations.

Yes. 1080 Ti do not scale linearly, but in most of the benchmarks I’ve seen, two 1080 Ti are at least 1.75x faster than one when doing multi-GPU training.

1.75 / 1.36 (speed up of 2080 Ti over a single 1080 Ti) = 1.28. So expect 2x 1080 Ti to be about 30% faster.

You can see how multi-GPU training works with Titan V benchmarks in the link below. 1080 Ti have similar scaling profile.
