While it sure is possible to do text manipulation in C, I don't think it should ever be the first choice, even if 'fastest' is a goal. A 0 byte is perfectly acceptable in a utf8 string (or any unicode string, really). But C has those annoying zero-terminated strings, so if you want to manipulate arbitrary unicode strings the first thing you can do is kiss the string functions in the C standard library goodbye. Which you probably want to do anyway because pascal-strings are simply better.

I would use Rust or C++ for this task.
It's the zlib license, which is used by GLFW, SDL, and SFML as well. Companies seem to have no problem using things like SDL, so I think this is fine.

Still, it would be nice is to state that is is the zlib license, and to include the license in the repository.
I do not think they are shocked. When you are used to speak indirectly, the direct way is not that difficult.

There is an amazing amount of fixed mindset thinking amongst the armchair geneticists on hacker news.

Two hundred years ago, the median person could not read. They could not do algebra.

There is no doubt that some people are born smarter than others. There is no doubt in my mind that simultaneously we waste much of the potential of many people in our society and that the median human is capable of much more learning and output than they produce today.
What the genes that correlate with academic success mean is easy to misunderstand.

Some may assume that those who succeed have 'smart' genes, but it can be that they are healthier. Just having better immune system can lead to better academic success. So can avoiding depression.
While it's autobiography rather than fiction, the Confessions of St. Augustine explore the author's state of mind as deeply as any modern work I can think of. It was written around the end of the 4th Century AD. [0]

But this article started with an example from the middle ages rather than the ancient world, so lets look there as well. Medieval literature does explore human feelings quite deeply. The stories of Chaucer (Canterbury Tales), Dante (Inferno, etc.), and Boccaccio (Decameron) exhibit characters with a rich internal life. Arguing to the contrary mostly proves you have not read them.

That is what capsule networks were designed to solve. So far though I've only heard they got good results on MNIST and promising results on CIFAR10.

Anyway I'm not sure that you can conclude that just because convolutions are 2D that deep neural networks are unable to understand 3D relations. For example this network seems to have a pretty good understanding of the 3D world:

USB-C has been designed so that the male part is less resistant than the female part. This way, the connector on the device will see less stress and should last longer.

Obviously they won't be last indefinitely, especially for a connector used as much as a power input. And I have no idea if all the connectors follow properly the standard regarding materials.

But given the built quality of Apple cables, I doubt we will see the device connector wear before the cable is ripped apart by natural degradation, after 1 or 2 years.

I think chrome started that trend with the the auto update. I am just not a fan. With software if you at least know the bugs you can work around them. With constantly changing software you have incompatibility new bugs. At least with pro version of Windows you can kind of disable auto update.
Can you please expand your reasoning about this? Developing major new versions of software costs money, it has never been the case in the entire history of the computer market that one general retail purchase of commercial software would get you all updates of all kinds forever. It's normal that all minor updates are free, and the next major version is a paid upgrade at a marginal difference to full retail. This is economics that both matches people's common sense ("I'm paying for the improvements and another period of minor support, but not what I already paid for") and has favorable economic incentives (upgrades are not guaranteed, the developer does in fact need to convince people it's worth it).

In one of Apple's biggest most stupid and infuriating utter fuckups of all time with the App Store, they eliminated this whole mechanism by offering no upgrade support. But the need to get ongoing revenue for updated versions didn't go away, so devs do what is allowed within Apple's stupid system. They either make it subscription, or they create a "new" app where the major version number is part of the name and sell it again, maybe averaging out the price (or offering a reduced fee for the first week say), or some other suboptimal system (new features get introduced incrementally as IAPs say).

It's not even the slightest remotest bit "scammy" though. To take your own example OmniFocus v3 is a major update following years and years of support of v2, it's completely reasonable it'd be a paid upgrade. And the Mac version, on Omni's store, is a paid upgrade (or a free upgrade if you bought it in the last year, outside of Apple's garbage market you can do stuff like that) for owners of v2 (they can keep using v2 of course). It's just "OmniFocus" regardless though, this is hardly some weird thing. It's just that on the App Store they are forced by Apple to do something else.
It's a good question. Going to let others answers. My tldr opinion is "Not really, but code duplication any time, but especially across repos can lead to hard-to-troubleshoot errors".
Printed dictionaries are basically ordered lists with metadata, so look-ups are O(lg n), and by a human no less!

Am I the only one here that still makes my kids look up words in dictionary? We have all the e-devices but I think there's something worthwhile about re-enforcing alphabet order in words, learning by wandering or happens upon words nearby in paper dictionary. The kids also have to sound out the words to try to find it so they learn different word-sound patterns. All this skills are practiced each time they do a quick dictionary lookup.

No dude, just like fine dining, wine tasting and other things there are definitely margins of wide preference but there's also very clear tastes that are objectionable to anyone who tastes them and is aware of them.

You can have a preference of reds or whites but anyone who's trained can taste when a wine has oxidsized or turned sour and those are pretty objective statements of fact.

Overroasted coffee is definitely a thing if you've done coffee tastings and actually know what coffee tastes like and how the roasting process affects flavor profiles.

Similarly, when then Gov.

Windows update is probably one of the worst engineered parts of the OS. On my quad core i7 with a dedicated GPU it used to take anywhere from 45 mins to two hours to install the big updates and around 30 mins for smaller ones.

Not only they take ridiculously long, eventually you are forced to update upon booting in or shutting down. Never mind that you turned on your PC to, you know, get something done potentially urgently.

In contrast, I can upgrade my months-stale arch Linux box in under 2-3 minutes. After seeing how much better the same hardware can run, there is no going back.
Interesting. On what status (i.e. type of visa) did you go to Germany?
Well, yes. That's exactly why the debate around 'fairness' has begun.

ML will easily infer gender/color/religion from any other features about an individual. It should not be too surprising that those features play a big role in identity. Consider the recent news about Amazon throwing out a model which kept learning to discriminate on gender no matter how much they tried to blacklist gender-related features. They ended up with a model that could determine the gender of a job applicant just from subtle language cues in how they write their CV - usage of words like 'captured' and 'executed' which were used more frequently by one gender.

ML is worthless if blinded to anything that might give away a sensitive feature about an individual because that's virtually everything. And the current generation of ML is making it it really clear that the world as a whole discriminates on these features all the time, whether directly or indirectly.

These are the facts, the world is not evenly distributed. The question for society now is where do we go from here, and what exactly should 'fair' mean. Do we introduce reverse bias into processes to equalize the output distribution? Do we change the criteria considered by various processes to try to influence the output distribution? Do we look at the underlying social causes of the non-uniform distribution and try to address those? Do we just leave things as they are? Do we legislate to get ML out of critical social processes? Should we maybe first address much more obvious cases of unfairness that don't even require ML to identify, like massive and growing wealth disparity? Google's idea of fairness is only one of these choices, and it does not represent a public consensus on the subject - the public was never consulted. And yet the public is increasingly being impacted by this issue.

The statement that the sum of the parts if different from the sum of the parts that it used to be turns a secure system into an insecure system is false. The article seems to equate changes in parts to a less secure environment against any threat model, which is universally false.
Cooperatives still require everyone to pitch in and some way of dividing the labor and building accountability for performing the tedious tasks that are essential to maintain a legal entity. Unless you have the funds to pay everyone a living wage and in return some form of sustainable sizable income it is difficult to get the same level of contribution from people. In my experience with cooperatives they aren't the magical solution they are imagined to be. Many people are comfortable not bring in charge or arguing about how the people in charge are doing it wrong but they don't have the skills or background ideology to manage decision making cooperatively.

As a legal structure there isn't a ton of support, you are basically creating a member managed LLC or corporation and then transplanting a cooperative agreement on top of it. Getting the same level of commitment from a large number of people is the difficult thing. But if there is a small sense of joint ownership and a shared vision then perhaps it could work but as the article mentioned rotation of leadership and task assignment is a good idea lest one person be stuck holding the bag.

I grew up poor and never had a strong desire for material things. I don't know if growing up poor is the reason for this, but I do know that not having access to "fancy" things a kid might have access to, made me spend a lot more time playing outside and keeping occupied with activities. Of course this was all before I had access to a computer. The moment I discovered Age of Empires, I had a strong urge to have my own computer.

You will see a lot of caricatures and ethnic stereotypes in Asterix. Primarily of European and Mediterranean nationalities though. A lot of the stories are Asterix and Obelix traveling to some region and all the stereotypes of that region is played up.

I agree humans are capable of learning, but the growth mindset set claim people are capable of learning how to learn, for which there is little evidence.

The rate and extent of knowledge acquisition is limited by one’s general intelligence. You can not learn your way around a less effective learning apparatus.

I would also say that we have plucked all the environmental low hanging fruit. Lack of education may have explained much of the variance in outcomes 200 years ago. It does not today. We are educated to the gills. Dweck’s claims that we can squeeze more out of this desiccated rag do not ring true, even before you account for how poorly ideologically-pleasing findings have held up in the replication crisis.

I don’t think growth mindset interventions are going to do much of anything.

Programs like Head Start have been spectacular failures, which does not seem to be what growth mindset would predict.

Ultimately we are too focused on environment and have no focus on genomics.

Embryo selection will be far more effective than propagandizing our children with growth mindset memes, whose workbooks read to me like modern copybook headings.

1-10 embryo selection gives you 3 to 8 points per generation. This is basically possible right now. If we had a million genomes tagged with the donor’s IQ this would for sure be possible right now.

Iterated embryo selection and direct genetic engineering allow get you to many standard deviations.

Growth mindset is sneezing into a hurricane. And I am not even sure the sneeze is real.
> MediFor started in 2016 when the agency saw the fakery game leveling up. The project aims to create an automated system that looks at three levels of tells, fuses them, and comes up with an “integrity score” for an image or video.

That seems iffy. The problem with any automated system is that it can be used as an input into the training process. Things like matching weather reports to lighting sound more promising, because they'd require the manipulator to be more detailed in the data they collect, but that kind of thing also sounds a lot less reliable as an indicator.
Power consumption on this thing looks horrendous: 14W on stress load vs 4W for Raspberry Pi 3.

Wow, I could have written this entire thing myself—except change "first month" to "first year"! One thing I need to work on is asking more questions.

It's nice to know I'm not alone, and that there are ways to cope with this that have worked for others. Thanks for posting!
> Which you probably want to do anyway because pascal-strings are simply better.

They're not though. While having an explicit length is great, p-strings means the length is the first item of the data buffer, which is just awful, and why Pascal was originally limited to 255 byte strings.

Rust or C++ use record-strings, where the string type is a "rich" stack-allocated structure of (*buffer, length[, capacity], …) rather than just a buffer/pointer.

I'm not disparaging Yale at all, just explaining how a lot of untaxable property can affect a city. Yale owns a lot of commercial properties in New Haven, including stores and offices. I'm sure they pay taxes on those. And like a lot of universities they pay for their own police and emergency services which takes a burden off the city. But there is also University of New Haven, Southern Connecticut State University, Albertus Magnus College, and Gateway Community College, as well as Yale-New Haven Hospital and all its satellite buildings and St Raphael. This is all in a town of 130,000 people, a quarter of whom live below the poverty line. Again, not saying any of these are bad institutions, or that the problems in New Haven are their fault, just that it is a tricky situation to deal with. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/31/yale-new-haven-hos...

Rotational invariance makes sense if you're free to pick the scale and direction of your coordinates. If that's the case then a large class of distributions can be made rotationally invariant (at a guess, I'd say all elliptical distributions [0], but I don't have a handy proof)

Independence of (x, y) components is a trickier one to justify IMO. Something like a Cauchy or Student t model could be made rotationally invariant, but the coordinates are no longer independent.

A Student t distribution behaves like a standard Gaussian, but with a second source of randomness that controls the size of its radial distance from the origin. So you get darts that are often on-target, but with occasional huge misses. If the X component is gigantic, that suggests that the Y component is also large, breaking independence.

It's not scammy, but it's certainly expensive in the case of OmniFocus.

Now I have the option of paying ~20 EUR for 2->3 and it's not really worth the price for the kind of features one gets.

Another annoying thing is that IAPs aren't subject to family sharing, so one is essentially buying a really expensive todo app (40-50 €) that only runs on one or two devices.

They do have an unique feature as far as I know: local encryption.

In the end v2 is still working fine, so I can't complain too much.
