I get the same weird anxiety reading these threads. I was making 50k base as a post-doc, anxious about ex-academic friends making 80k in the "real world". Then I got a corporate job making ~$120k, and felt anxious that I wasn't making the ~$150k some of my bosses and friends were making. Switched jobs, making ~$200k in a small southern city, and I come into threads like this ("$500k comp at FAANG) feeling anxious that I'm not making enough in my mid-thirties and don't have enough saved up for retirement.

The crazy thing is, going from 50k to 200k, I can't honestly pinpoint whether I'm signficantly happier or not. So I try to not get envy about even the more ridiculous salaries. How does one get off the hamster wheel and feel content enough with salary to just live?

Thanks for bringing this to my attenton. In that article, however, it says for neural nets:

V is the set of nodes. Each node is a simple computation cell.
E is the set of edges, Each edge has a weight.
....
If the activation function is the sigmoid function and the weights are general, then the VC dimension is ... at most O(|E|^2.|V|^2) [apologies for the crappy formatting]

While Someone's quote from the article seems to be suggesting something exponential in the number of edges.

For what it's worth, one can't internalize options orders in the same way one can equity orders, purchased options flow must make it to the market. I'm not familiar with the history of this decision but I suspect it's since options are less liquid and have higher spreads, so internalization would get a much worse deal than say auctions. You can rebates from certain exchanges for initiating auctions on them, and can selectively initiate auctions on exchanges which benefit you more, but options orders themselves make it to the market
Altavista. I miss it every single day.

Searching for technical (unix, programming, etc.) content is so much easier when you can use nested parens and proper boolean language.

This is in contrast to google where searches return things that don't even contain your keywords.

This is in contrast to google where the modifiers like allinsite: and '+' and "quotes" are not respected or change their behavior over time.

Man I miss altavista...
If you are on shoe string , sending your own email is a better solution. It will take few weeks to establish your rep, as along you process the abuse reports , it is not a problem for transactional email.

I am sorry but I am seeing an exact analogy, other than your statement that services are somehow different from purchases. I am also depriving McDonald's from the added profit of selling me a coke and a burger separately for more than a meal, and I do have the premeditated true intent of not eating the fries, that I reveal by tossing them repeatedly every time I order a meal. Maybe it's harder to prove that I toss the fries every time, but according to your logic McDonald's in theory can collect the difference and threaten my credit too.
It was explicit from the results that responding "yes" to this question was considered sexual assault. After the results were published they provided the breakdowns of responses. They included "yes" responses of this question as part of the student population that had been subject to sexual assault. I had talked to other students about it, and while many told me that they interpreted the question along the lines of "have you ever received unwanted advances after being told to stop" that emphasis was not part of the original question. If someone truthfully answered the question that was asked, they would have to answer "yes" even if they declined a respectful invitation to go out.

As someone who does follow Star Citizen closely (but isn't a backer or otherwise motivated for the project to succeed), I couldn't disagree more.

They got "ships in space" working years ago. This release was celebrating their latest tech, "OCS," which is designed to reduce their in-memory working set. The big benefit of OCS? They're more than doubling the size of their world, adding a planet, gigantic new city, and three new moons.

Of course they're showing off planet-side content. They've had ships flying around in space for literally years now. The big new improvement to that (a new flight model) was demoed in a booth on the show floor, where people could experience it, not in the splashy keynote session.

MVPs are for testing product-market fit. CIG (the makers of Star Citizen) proved their fit long ago. They have a successful product that's about to cross $200 million in revenue. Now they need to turn that product-market fit into successful recurring revenue. And that requires doing something that captures the attention of a market that is notoriously fickle, negative, and entitled.

Immersive systems-based gameplay with things like physically-correct ice cubes is the niche CIG has chosen, and it's been their niche since the Kickstarter. Who knows if the excitement they've generated so far will last. But it's obviously done very well for them so far. It's no surprise they've doubled down on it.
Do they offer swag or anything like that?
What I find funny, is that you think some crappy algorithm, can beat the real neural network, your mind ;)

You convert a fixed problem ('locate search terms that have a high correlation to what I am searching for') to a fuzzy problem of "how can I guess what this person is searching for, based on a sequence of search terms, where I manipulate the results, thereby gauranteeing that the search sequence is poisoned by what I presume they are searching for').

Oddly enough, the latter, is how you get high dwell on a search engine (COUGH COUGH).

as soon as I started using duckduckgo - bang, back to 1 minute searches as I just altered my search terms and actually got back, what I wanted.

You asked why would people work this hard over a "video game". Presumably, you don't work at Rockstar and aren't in a position to gain financially from them, but I don't think it should be too hard to understand how people could be convinced (right or wrong) to do a few "crunch" weeks when the deliverable has a hard deadline and huge revenue potential.
I recently did a certificate signing application in Golang. This was my first Golang application. The app would send CSR over to a server which would sign and respond back with certs. For over a week of debugging realised the server had bugs and was not signing the certificate properly. The bug was very subtle. The bug in third party libraries can be overwhelming for a beginner.

The new Apple screen time app really is a tremendous addition to see just how bad it is. A lot of time on my phone I'm doing things that I still consider productive like reading technical articles, and doing my anki cards, but the amount of time I can spend looking at my phone is absolutely outlandish in a given day of free time.

My big time sucks are hn, fark for news, and occasionally reddit. I'd like to at least drop reddit from my routine, and maybe only come to hackernews when I've gotten through every other article open on my phone.

Seem like good goals. The screen time app is nice because you can actually set limits on how much you can use an app then it bugs you with a warning.

I've been trying to read more lately, it's wonderful. Just finished For Whom the Bell Tolls, and started in on some Kafka. But it's definitely different then when I was younger and would just tear books up.

I think maybe I'll blacklist reddit at least with the proxy on my phone and then only browse that on the laptop which would be much rarer and far less likely since there's so many more interesting things to do on the computer (I just discovered the joys of tmux, how was I missing you all these years? With tmuxp, what a powerful set of tools.)

Anyways, that's my experiences, these little gadgets are incredibly addicting, and with three link aggregates with nigh on never ending pages of links it's ridiculously easy to spend a tremendous amount of time with your face in the screen.

Age of Empires IV is being made now since they noticed there's demand, but the studio they chose is a well-known clown collective. Hopes are not high.

Somewhere else upthread it was suggested that Callisto could "get together" victims, which another commenter pointed out is less than ideal for legal reasons (looking like they cooked up testimony). The 'fake report accomplice' would be another good reason not to allow victims to directly communicate.

Generally, an attacker would probably not want to call attention to themselves. A sufficiently well-resourced adversary (I suppose) could hire people to spam the system with false accusations (possibly targeting similar peers so it looks like "hey, everyone in crypto/databases/... is being accused") but if the process of getting an account with this system isn't trivial (invite-only, verified email, etc) it wouldn't be easy.

It might simply just be that's the terms that Robinhood reached with the firms? Paying 0.2c/share and giving 0.2c/share price improvement is fairly similar from the perspective of a market maker as just paying 0.4c/share, and Robinhood might be funding themselves by having firms only compete on payment for orders and not on price improvement.

On a more meta level, my firm suspects that Citadel is trying very hard to price other players out of the market even if it's at the cost of their current profitability, so they might be driving up the terms of newly minted deals. I don't work on the retail desk so I don't know.

> A previous project, open core 32, was a vibrant open-source hardware group in Europe. But what they made open was an implementation of a processor. With RISC-V, what is open is the instruction set, and you can use that to implement anything from the smallest IoT device to server-class processors.

So open core 32 was an open implementation, RISC-V is an open idea. Sometimes an idea travels farther, faster, if it doesn't have an implementation. And the implementations that do exist, have a huge population of creators (rapid fans) to assist in its spread and usage. Brilliant. RISC-V isn't the Linux of hardware, it is the Unix.

Similar, prior work: the video game "Spore" let you export a PNG of the creatures (and other things) you made with its many, many editors. It'd output a PNG of the critter, with all the data needed to build it from Spore's parts library encoded in the least significant bits of the pixels; you could easily share it in email/chat/whatever, then drag it into Spore to get the critter.

Lots more appealing than a square of grey noise, lots easier to understand when you run across it a year later...

edit: some more details on this, with examples https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200806/spore_creature_creator...
It's an interesting thought experiment with Allen, because he provided the unrelenting prompting to start Microsoft. As you know from the book (and Gates has confirmed this numerous times), he urged Gates repeatedly that they should start a company focused on software to capitalize on the burgeoning personal computing era. Finally convincing him when the famous January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics came out with the Altair 8800 on the cover.

Allen very plausibly was even more of an entrepreneur personality type than Gates was. It seems likely that Allen may well have pursued founding his own company in the absence of Gates.

From a very young age, Allen apparently had a strong penchant for science and technology. Striking out on your own, then as now, is maybe the best way to leap forward with new technology, versus laboring in the corner of a stuffy, conservative corporate behemoth like Honeywell (where Allen worked) or IBM.

Lakeside at a minimum very likely accelerated by several years his introduction to computer programming, due to the resources the school had. Then on top of that, he had a small group of friends to pursue those adventures with thanks to Lakeside, and they all had access to the same tech. The amplification value of all of that, has to be considerable.

Except we've had about 75 years of it being increasingly ungendered, to the point where I'm pretty sure most people don't even KNOW the etymology you're referring to.

This is simply ignorant. Most such "weapons systems" will be disabled before purchase , since they count as destructive devices. In some cases it is possible to own such items that are still capable of firing live ammunition but this requires paying a fee and going through an extensive FBI background check. This process has been shown to reduce crimes committed using such devices to a virtually non-existent level. Additionally, you simply cannot go out and buy SCUD missiles, tank ammunition, or air to air missiles as a civilian.

This is "gun control", very tightly regulated weapons which are expensive to obtain and require hopping through several regulatory hoops. It is not hypocrisy in the least to be willing to abide by that level of gun control for those weapons (even assuming he did, I have no knowledge that any of Allen's stuff had functioning weapons) and desire the process of obtaining small arms be made slightly more stringent as well.

Just another data point to add: exactly the same thing has happened here in Australia. The family used to regularly drive 2000km on holidays. Dead bugs covered the windshield and radiator at the end of each leg.

Today with cheap plane fares we don't drive so much, but I still do a one 1000km drive every 5 years or so. I don't recall washing a single bug off whereas when I was a kid scraping dried bug guts was a major chore.

76% sounds almost too low, but I suspect the the biggest bugs are the hardest hit and they caused the mess on the car. I don't remember when I last saw a locust. They used to be a major problem. We used to have surfaces carpeted in beetles during their breeding season, and yet this Christmas I was actually surprised when I saw a Christmas beetle.
