Yes, I am interested, though I'm not sure what your book is about in general. I just emailed you from an .edu address.

What is the goal you're aiming at? Carbon-neutral synthetic fuels? From the excerpt, I thought you might be considering converting atmospheric CO2 back into relatively low-reactivity, compact, reduced forms of carbon for burial in e.g. old coal mines. (Which would be astonishingly energy intensive, but I wouldn't put it past the capabilities of early-22nd-century civilization if automation continues to advance and we avoid nuclear war, super-pandemics, and other such disasters.)
Don't forget that "survivorship bias" is a very real thing. Don't let the rare success of engineers like Paul Buchheit make you think you're not as smart as you really are.

And that's how you start to beat Imposter Syndrome.

It's true, you really have to try Echolink to "get" it. I have heard this many times. IMO its curb appeal is low but it is a lot of fun.

I have it on my phone, and I also have the (Windows) app running in Wine on my Linux desktop. You can just use your built-in mic or a regular sound card mic. I have never even used my HT with it. But you can, if you want.

And that opens up one of the really neat aspects: You can end up talking to someone through their repeater. Just about every time I talk to somebody, they're on their HT out in the field somewhere and they have no idea that I just came in through Echolink. You might catch someone who's out on a hike, and get some pictures or a video on Twitter later. Or talk to someone in their shop.

There are also nets that you can listen into on Echolink. Check out dodropin.org to get started.

Finally, no non-hams are allowed to register. This is a huge pro if you're comparing with e.g. Skype or Chat Roulette. The sign-up process is pretty legit, a human is reviewing your license. So there's this automatic level of politeness and protocol which is refreshing. On Discord, you just have no idea, especially if you're chatting with random people. On Echolink, their account status is at stake and it's kind of like a big closed group.

Related to this, I like that TheGuildGlobal.org are branching out, not only onto SIP but also to platforms like Zello. The ham world actually brings a high level of discourse to communications, even if you figure in the occasional grump. There is always another mode to try.
I think you're overestimating outside contributions to these types of projects. In my experience, they are typically minuscule, and mutually beneficial relationships when they do occur.
Purely speculation, but I think a well made video/lecture is the best way to learn concepts and reading a concise document is the best way to get information. Videos have richer tools with visual aids and tone, but text is searchable and fast if you know what to look for.
The issue - and one that a compiler often can't really reason about very well - is that in using AVX (and especially AVX-512) you incur other performance costs due to throttling the CPU down to lower frequencies and having additional latency issues. Deciding when it's actually worth doing so for a memcpy is, in general, a very hard problem.
You can specialise generic functions on built-in classes in standard CL. Lisp
methods are specialisations of generic functions; they don't belong to a class
in the way methods do in eg C++. The issue you're talking about is that not
all functions are generic functions in Common Lisp, and you can't specialise
ordinary functions.

There's nothing stopping you from doing

(defmethod add ((x number) (y number)) (+ x y))
(defmethod add ((x string) (y string)) (concatenate 'string x y))

or whatever (multiple dispatch, too), and you could even call it + instead of
ADD if you wanted (but not COMMON-LISP:+, so other code would continue to
work; your packages could import your + instead of the standard one).
In the final years of Sun Microsystems, they converted containers to integrated server rooms and were (starting to? planning to?) sell them. Servers, cooling, access, everything but the power IIRC.

Still one of the more impressive pieces of tech I've seen.

Did internet ad fraud con advertisers? Direct clicks and conversions are such lowest common denominator crap. Suitable for ponzi schemes and snake oil sales.
Tesla advertises amazingly well online. Their conversion rate is clearly zero. Not close to zero, not "they don't care" It is zero, nothing, not one single conversion.

Across the breadth range of companies built on advertising from coca cola to chanel as far as I can see they don't use internet ads. These companies have not gone away. Google, Facebook, ebay etc etc all have poster ads in my town. I guess targeted internet ads didn't work for their purposes.
I almost thought you were serious.

Do you realize that some of these people literally sleep on the concrete sidewalk? It would be hard to build something below those standards.

But YES! Why not “substandard”? I see homeless people huddling under awnings. I think an enclosed space with some heating and a roof would be a wonderful place for someone who normally sleeps outside.
1st, these are indie developers, who entered i to an agreement to distribute their games througu steam, not 'steam developers'.

2nd, and more to the point; Most of valves actions seem justified in the examples given. Your EULA, while unusual, is a valid concern for many gamers for example.

I think you could make a strong argument that valve has changed with the opening of steam to more indies, and often in a near preadatory ways. But this article fails to do that.

But opting into the log for read-only txns would destroy performance for many apps, both in terms of latency and throughput. This is rarely practical since so many apps are read-heavy. I assume you don't recommend that to your customers, especially in global deployments.

Causal tokens are practical from a performance point of view, but do require application awareness and changes, which presents a different set of issues. Most application developers would not appreciate the subtleties and just use the default behavior, which does not guarantee "read your own writes". And causal tokens don't prevent the more general case of stale reads.

This would mean that in the default FaunaDB configuration, applications could see anomalies:

1. Inability to read own writes - described above, with the additional clarification that it can't be fully solved at the driver level. For example, say I call a web API that creates a blog post and returns a PostID. I then call another API that edits that post, passing it the PostID I got back from the first. If FaunaDB is in use, the second call could fail to find the PostID, because I happened to hit a different replica that did not yet have it.

2. Stale reads - could be arbitrary levels of staleness if replica/coordinator haven't been able to sync to the global log. If a coordinator node and a replica were stuck in their own little partition, cut off from the rest of the cluster, they'd still happily serve stale reads (until perhaps they detect a partition and shut down?).

These read anomalies aren't usually considered compatible with a consistent system, but instead are hallmarks of an eventually consistent system. It seems misleading to make an unqualified 100% consistency claim when it doesn't apply to read-only txns by default, and when the fully consistent mode is not practical to use in global deployments.
Perhaps. What if you add a new index and it changes the optimization plan of existing queries that you didn’t anticipate? There are a lot of edge cases, but we are not religiously opposed to making the optimizer smarter.
Well, step 1 would be for us to stop making it illegal for developers to do exactly what you are suggesting, ie we should get rid of building height limit zoning laws.
> But because kanbans were pioneered by Toyota, workers thought they had to hide their kanban cards from Musk during his visits to the factory.

You're a fucking idiot and your argument is fucking dumb. Shut up and go outside you worthless troll.
By all the reports, it seems really astonishing that Intel ever manage to ship anything.

The subtext might be that Intel upper management's main job is to kill projects that might distract from things that absolutely must ship. And, maybe the wholesale killing frequently gores stuff that succeeds in shipping despite all.
No doubt, but that just reinforces my point; the conformity was the result of trying to build them out rapidly, not due to some preference in Russian culture. I wasn't criticizing the architecture.

> Saying that redistribution is bribery is about the same level of discourse as saying that taxes are theft and prison kidnapping

I have friends who say literally that (taxes are theft). How does one argue against that? I have a hard time finding a way that it's technically wrong. I mean, taxation is literally the state taking your money (whether you want it or not, voted against it or not, etc).

I can't help but feel that there's some difference, but I can't find what it is. Do you have suggestions on readings that would inform me better on the issue?

I wrote (what I consider to be) a slightly more accessible post last month on the same topic after I really picked up reading books four years ago.

My argument is that reading is a must for profressionals to learn and remember the ability to distinguish biases, trends, novelty, etc.

Furthermore, I don't recommend "literature" as a starting point but must-read books in your field. It can be easier to start because the material is closer and because it doesn't feel like reading was a waste of time.

Afterward diversifying to economics, psychology, domestic and foreign history, management, etc. and fiction become easier to make time for and easier to see the benefits.

Lets turn this around: Why do you feel its not a problem that a company impersonated people in order to stuff the comment box?
Elon Musk is an unremitting and extraordinarily fragile narcissist.
"E[foo]" is syntax to mean the expected value of the random variable foo, roughly speaking the mean value. (For instance the expected value of a dice roll is 3.5. The terminology is slightly suboptimal, since we will never expect a dice to come up 3.5.)

Hence the "E" itself is called an "operator". It can be applied to a random value in order to yield its expected value. You can read up on it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value

The definition "E[x] = mu" is correct, though I would write it the other way, as "mu = E[x]", as it's the variable mu which is being defined.

The v's disappear because of a suppresed calculation:

sigma^2 = E[ (v^T x - E[v^T x])^2 ] =
E[ (v^T x - E[v^T x]) (v^T x - E[v^T x]) ] =
E[ v^T x v^T x - 2 v^T x E[v^T x] + E[v^T x] E[v^T x] ] =
E[ v^T x x^T v - 2 v^T x v^T E[x] + v^T E[x] v^T E[x] ] =
E[ v^T x x^T v - 2 v^T x E[x]^T v + v^T E[x] E[x]^T v ] =
E[ v^T (x x^T - 2 x E[x]^T + E[x] E[x]^T) v ] =
v^T E[ x x^T - 2 x E[x]^T + E[x] E[x]^T ] v =
v^T E[ (x - E[x]) (x - E[x])^T ] v =
v^T E[ (x - mu) (x - mu)^T ] v =
v^T Sigma v.

This is the problem when I have a Threadripper can't can't see these issues, lol. One day I'll get a proper AVX512 machine and try this stuff for myself.

Still, it seems like the documentation elsewhere says that AVX 128-bit doesn't cause any clocking issues. So AVX512 (applied to 128-bit) should still lead to good speeds without any clocking problems.
That survival rate came from a study in Lancet Oncology. It is not controversial that the US has exceptionally high cancer survival rates.

This is attributed to two factors: much more testing/screening than in most countries, which detects cancer at earlier and more treatable stages (though at high cost), and most new cancer-related treatments are developed and available in the US first so any resulting reductions in mortality show up in that population first.

As an example, my "anecdote" was cured of terminal cancer by an experimental drug therapy in late trials. Several years later it is FDA approved and becoming available in the rest of the world but at the time the only people receiving that treatment were in the US and it was correlated with a material increase in survival rates for that kind of cancer.
Building good housing is already very cheap, when you compare it to the actual market price.

The reason why price is so high is because the government makes it literally illegal to actually build stuff. AKA building height limit zoning laws.

Just go look at how much it costs to build a good apartment building in any place in the mid west. It's cheap. Cost has nothing to do with actual construction costs. Its zoning and government regulations that cause all this.
Because it's a question of scale not kind, when you go to the DMV etc in the US you don't expect to bribe anyone. That's far from culturally or historically universal, so day to day it's just not that corrupt relative to other countries.

Now, is politics in the US rigged? Ehh. You do need to actually participate to be counted. Don't vote and don't lobby then sure they your voice is not heard. Now does everyone get equally rewarded when they vote or lobby? Clearly not as every vote is not equal and frankly that's part of our constitution. So is the US a democracy? Nope.

On the other hand the US is not a totalitarian state, the will of the people does actually matter and things happen without bribes every day. Compare it to say England where the landed gentry got to hold extra special power rather than ever shifting groups in the US and yea it's not that bad.
I was under the impression they all agree it's theiretically possible but wildly impractical to pull off.
A few months ago I would have agreed wholeheartedly. I recently had to replace the alternator on my 2008 solara and after finding instructions in text form unclear I found a video on YouTube that made the process extremely easy. Thing is, there were a few tiny details I was able to glean from the video that made the difference being very frustrated and very successful.

Your fellow citizens are more than happy to persecute you in China.
Short answer: no. If you aren't part of the club, or if you don't go out of your way to find out these things, this is not particularly well-known. And honestly, I could flip this pretty easily: there are lots of narratives out there by people who for whatever reason weren't privy to this fact who made it into some of the big name schools and saw how daddy's ability to buy a new building beats out perfect grades, describing their shock at seeing some of these systems up-close and learning the rules. That should also be approximately as "obvious". It depends where you're looking, and whether or not you know to look there and care enough to actually look.
Providing your own documentary with its editorial biases as a citation to back your own statements is not credible, especially when it makes such strong claims of bad faith among organizations working to alleviate homelessness.

Can you provide independent citations that back your claims about the existence of a "homeless-industrial complex"?
Spending more on something is a good way to get more of it when exporters are ready and willing to meet the demand. Municipalities buying their local homeless bus tickets is just one example. If we want to reduce homelessness, we need a smarter approach than giving people goods and services for being homeless. I don't have all the answers here, but I do know that this requires both positive and negative incentives. A carrot and stick approach if you will. Sad to say, most vagrants are not capable of acting in their own rational self-interest, so simply extolling the virtues of becoming a productive member of society just isn't going to cut it.

Did you read the entire article? It's not really 'free to everyone', it's not like it's magic money. It's more like a transfer of tax revenue from Tokyo to rural communities, with a bit of a kickback to the tax payers.

And while your vision sounds nice, the end of the article made it sound more like it's become a race to the bottom with most rural towns offering the maximum amount allowed in gift vouchers which people resell for cash.

So it's mostly just a convoluted tax distribution/credit system in a lot of ways. And as much as it would be nice to have something like what you wrote, it would be near impossible to set out rules such that it didn't become another cynical race to maximize profits by attracting 'donors'. Even if you outlawed gift cards, there's always going to be some good/commodity a community can offer that will hold a liquidable cash value.

As a cancer survivor, this is completely unfounded in fact. Most cancers are treatable, as long as they haven't metastasized. Even cancers that have metastasized can be treated successfully, though the standard of care is much more difficult.
