There is huge difference between not reporting income (illegal) and not declaring where the income is from (completely legal, they don’t even ask).

Literature Review for Speaker Change Detection
There was nothing in the lawsuit about being authorised or not. The court ruled that Google's particular use of the Java APIs was not fair use, as it wasn't intended for interop[1]. Apache Harmony can only license what they own, and they don't own the Java API. I guess that if you use Harmony in a way that makes fair use of the APIs you should be fine, but that's not what Google did (at least according to the court's ruling).

Hello /r/politics
There is no difference between Scheme and Common Lisp when it comes to parentheses and beauty. Everything you mention (simplicity, regularity, few basic principles) apply just the same to Common Lisp. The differences between the two are mostly standard library related (irrelevant to matters of beauty) and lisp-1 vs lisp-2 (no clear winner in terms of beauty I would say).
Just so.

Twenty minutes of a designer role-playing an assembly tech installing those components (with the mindset of trying to fail) might have gotten us a "this can only fit one way" result.

Maybe if you're already familiar with FPGA development and have a specific application in mind. The size and complexity of the F1 accelerator (and, in particular, the way it's interfaced to the computer) will be a major obstacle if you're still learning.

I am a pollworker in San Francisco, and I can tell you from personal experience with thousands of voters that Ranked-Choice Voting is widely misunderstood. The common refrain is: I only want to vote for this one candidate, and not for anyone else. In a hotly-contested election, they absolutely do not want to vote for the other guy as #2.
”For example, writing programs pertaining to differential calculus.

That’s only a description of Newton’s method, plus an example on symbolic differentiation (2, respectively 6 pages in a book of over 600 pages, in my copy)

Both are about a tiny corner of differential calculus: differentiating ”expressions that are built up using only the operations of addition and multiplication with two arguments”. It doesn’t involve goniometric functions or integrals.

So, it is is about turning ax² + bx + c into 2ax + b. I don’t know when exactly I learnt that, but it was way before university, when I was somewhere between 13 and 16 years old. It was part of the normal curriculum.

”SICP could be challenging”

I would hope so. If it couldn’t be challenging, how are students supposed to learn from it?
That's how it works (at least the OneBusAway feed in the Seattle area). They started in the 90s with an RFID transponder on bus stops, read by the bus as it went past; more recently they use things like odometry or GPS to feed information into the system.

But:

> just return the empirical expected time it takes for the next bus

There is a world of complexity in "the empirical expected time", there... expected according to what models?

Anecdotally, I think it's especially hard to model because any given delay is probably attributable to one or a few specific incidents. This isn't a situation where everything averages out and we can use a nice tractable AWGN model; we're down in the muck and the shot-noise.
Anecdotally I used to think that sufferers of Chronic Fatigue were suffering from psychological issues. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with EBV that led to a post viral illness (the first step in EBV becoming Chronic Fatigue). I saw a number of medical specialists and I would them that their diagnosis doesn't make sense. I'd never even heard of illness leading to Chronic Fatigue. Luckily I recovered, or am nearly 100% recovered, but it changed my mind on the illness.
I agree, but it's not either/or. Some people will probably earn their basic income+extra doing science/engineering/etc, some will do art, and some will do the bare minimum.

If we successfully decouple work from sustenance, I'm pretty sure there will be a non-negligable percentage of humans who would just take the basic income and passively consume. However, letting a person consume without any "skin in the game," I think would create a sense of entitlement among the bottom tiers, and resentment among the productive segments of society.

Also, there will still probably be a bunch of stuff that needs to get done cheaply (i.e. 100% automation is not practical), but not enough people want to do, like picking up trash, or cutting the grass, or sorting files at a courthouse.

I just don't see a world where everyone does exactly what they want to do at all times forever, unless we build personal VR universes for everyone.

Also, I've spent a good deal of time thinking recently about how to quantify art and other "indirect" contributions to society under a basic income system. Like if there's any work requirement, even if it's minimal, how much art qualifies? A couple of doodles? Could I just randomly scribble some blotches on canvas and call it a week of work? Could there be enough qualified art judges to determine if everyone who will inevitably try to phone it in has contributed "enough?"

I don't know. This came out kind of rambly, but there's a lot of non-binary, non-obvious aspects to basic income, and I've struggled to find answers to a lot of the questions I've come up with.

Ultimately, I agree with you. The system should support people contributing in the way the enjoy the most.
I found the great success of Slack was reducing interruptions. It replaces things that would have otherwise been a "hard" interruption (in-person conversation or phone call) with a "softer" interruption (notification). And it provides a much better way for people who need to speak with "someone from the x team" to talk to whoever happens to be relatively free at the moment, rather than picking someone to interrupt.

(Also are you sure minimizing interruptions should be a goal? If you cut off all communications you'll avoid interruptions, but that probably won't be good for your business)

Slightly related, my ghost town had few buses and sparses. I could never rely on printed hours. If I got there 10 min earlier to be sure, I'd still never be sure I'd wait 20 min for nothing because it was 11 min early. Of course half the time if I decide to walk to the next town where buses are many, I'd see all my town buses (both ways) pass me <yell-at-cloud.png>

I think it made me completely careless about time, I would just go between stops and take the first one, go with the flow. By experience I'd know the range it would take for me to reach big places around the area.

I had a friend who was completely foreign to this mode of thinking, she was very dilligent and fully trusting (although she mostly used trains so a lot less divergence).

It reminds me of kid studies about intelligence / wealth ratios. When you're environment is random, you think random. When it's predictable you planify.

I assume this relates to this conversation? This is a bit of a snippet from a broader discussion (which I found really interesting). Maybe there were other discussions here about GC that I missed.

I would like to respond here, not because I want to continue some heated debate, but because questions of garbage collectors and the _many_ decisions and trade-offs available are very interesting. And they deserve a good treatment.

I don't think it's really fair to characterise pcwalton's position in this way. I think that his comments on Go's GC were quite reasonable and well informed.

Go (which I think (and maybe mistakenly) is the real subject of the parent comment) _does_ have a very innefficient GC right now. But that could be changing in a near-future. Some people are experimenting with adding generations to Go garbage collector. It's not clear how long this will take to accomplish. In addition to the problem of 'building a generational GC that is low latency' there are lots of parts of the runtime which currently rely on memory allocations not moving. So there's a lot of ordinary engineering work to be done to ensure that _everything_ works with a generational GC.

So in this respect Go may soon 'learn from hotspot'.

In order to avoid anyone thinking that I am anti-Go. I am a full time Go programmer. I really like Go, and I think the decision to prioritise latency over throughput was the right choice. But, there is a lot that can be improved in the current GC. I spend a fair bit of my time trying to manage it during they day.

Anyway, it feels a bit sad to see this super super fun topic turn into some kind of grudge. If pcwalton has thoughts on ZGC I would be keen to hear them.
Great. Ideally you’d be able to auto convert any S-1 into this form. Or any 10k etc field for the government.

Eventually: data extraction!
Lisp always catered to people with a certain state of mind. It was never a language positioned for popular appeal, and by that I mean the masses of 9-5 "brogrammers" we have today. Looking at how many people fall in love (or not) with SICP, today, and the reasons they give validates this line of reasoning. Lisp and SICP are meant for inquisitive thinkers and hackers who are willing to go DEEP. If you can superficially dismiss Lisp (and all the geniuses that worked with and improved it over the years) in the manner that you do, then certainly, Lisp is clearly not for you. You are not an artist. You are most definitely not a hacker.

You seem to think that popularity should be the prime consideration when it comes to programming language design. This is what gave us PHP and Javascript. I dare say that the people that use Lisp today (and there are plenty of those) do so because nothing else will be as good to them. They love the language. I've known people who moved jobs and got less money in order to work with Lisp. What does that say about the language?

@mmt to clarify, you seem to be treating bus stops independent of alternative means of transportation. Measuring the average wait time of people at the bus stop is not enough: there are people who chose to ride a bike today instead of waiting at the bus stop, because of what happened to them yesterday at the bus stop.
It’s worse if you’re older. My parents get 30-40 calls a day.
You’re fundamentally wrong here. Red Hat providing a long-term and stable operating system and software target provides stability to users of RHEL. Upgrading your operating system, system libraries and toolchain are valuable changes, and should be done periodically, but these changes, like any other, introduce instability across the change. Those risks can be mitigated, but they are risks nonetheless.

Launching Epsagon, a serverless monitoring tool
I did 3 years of PhD work in computer vision, then dropped out of the PhD program to work in finance, eventually found my way back to a career in deep learning for image processing and NLP and some other smaller stats problems in causal inference.

My undergrad degree was a very advanced pure math curriculum as well, so I had already done multiple years worth of linear algebra, measure theory and measure theoretic probability theory even before the PhD work.

I think in terms of being effective at utilizing machine learning or statistics in a company that creates products, there is absolutely no value whatsoever, emphatically none, not even in terms of mathematical thinking, formalism or ability to grok research publications, associated with measure theory, measure theoretic probability, formal derivations of common ML algorithms or optimization problems, theoretical topics in convergence, etc. None.

The absolute most critical thing you need is skepticism that algorithms are not working. After that you need a great understanding of all the complex failure cases that are possible, which includes tons of things that business people will not think of, from multi-collinearity to mode collapse to unsound reasoning based on p-values to overfitting to missing data treatments and so on.

If you can grok basic linear algebra and algorithms, can assemble modern machine learning library components efficiently and have good judgment about statisical fallacies and unsound statistical reasoning, then it does not matter what other credential you have at all, period.

In fact, I have worked with very decorated PhD level ML researchers who had such horrible programming skills that it was nearly impossible to incorporate their work into actual products. I’ve also worked with decorated PhD level ML researchers who did not understand basic things about general statistics outside the scope of loss function optimization, for example like topics in MCMC sampling, or cases where reasoning about a model’s goodness of fit needs to holistically consider residual analysis, outlier analysis, posterior predictive checking and plausible effect sizing from literature reviews. They argued and argued that purely optimizing log-loss (with appropriate controls for overfitting) should always be the best model, which is just very naive.

The people saying these things had PhDs in top programs, many publications and conference presentations, and usually considerable software engineering skills.

Truly, credentials in ML really don’t mean anything. It’s about work experience and what you know about pragmatically analyzing statistical problems in the service of product development, and academic training is just not a very important part of this.
I am only half way through it, but you get a lattice icestick for less than $30 and open source tools. I've started the hackaday.io bootcamps which so far have been really good.

https://hackaday.io/list/160076-fpga-tutorials

They had a chat with the guy who wrote them a few weeks ago and there are more coming. Very accessible and you don't have to use the icestick very much -- most of it is done with free tools.

Count your lucky stars, since, even though your tale is harrowing, I've seen worse things happen to people on account of EBV.

To wit, growing up in middle school, I had a classmate who was really popular. By some twist of fate, he disappeared without much explanation, and most people had presumed that he changed school districts or moved away, but this was not the case. He still lived in the same house but stopped attending school. He acquired EBV (allegedly from kissing one or more girls, owing to his reputation for being as popular as he was), and suffered long term symptoms, which then precipitated into debilitating dementia, from which he has never recovered.

So, from middle school on, his life was permanently altered, and he lives in an adult home now, unable to care for himself.
In order to have an impact on election results, wouldn't you need a very large number of people without ID's standing in line all day long, for hours, to vote multiple times at different precincts?

And they would have to give a valid name of a registered voter who had not showed up yet, or the pollworkers would realize that the same person was trying to vote twice.

Or you could only impersonate voters who voted by mail (thereby voting twice in the same name).

Sure, you can come up with examples where a very small number of votes determined an election outcome. But for the vast majority of important contests -- and especially for state and federal level -- it does not seem feasible to round up enough thousands of people to cast enough fraudulent ballots to affect the election outcome.

If you have the v2 board you can use the PLL to change that 12MHz up to a high frequency (150 Mhz maybe?). You have to use a block and the icepll tool will generate the code for the frequency you want.
It doesn't work like that. The poor have ID.

Sure, it isn't easy, but they get ID because they need it for damn near everything. For example, you mentioned "work hours". If they are legally working, they have ID. If they get any sort of welfare, they have ID. If they smoke or drink, they have ID.
I agree. The top federal tax rate at one time was over 90%, and some economists believe it should be that high again. See https://www.nber.org/papers/w20601 for instance.
This reminds me of the advice in "How I’ve Attracted the First 500 Paid Users for My SaaS" (I liked the article overall). I'm more confident in my disagreement now.

Ignoring competition does not make it go away. Being a competitive person is good, and it gives you an advantage. The top of most any field is comprised of very competitive people.

I do not agree with this very generic advice. You shouldn't back down the second you feel any pressure / stress, this is not the behavior of a competitive person. If you are getting irrationally jealous or saddened to an unhealthy degree, you should learn to deal with this. If you are unable to, you should reconsider whatever field you're in.

It seems common for people to move goalposts when talking about this, as if being competitive and not ignoring competition detracts from your ability to improve your own project, or to be able to think independently of what competitors are doing.
Isn't it how pretty much any acquisition goes? That's my experience from the inside anyway. All hell breaks loose once the golden handcuffs have expired (3 years mark usually?) and people including management can quit with a full payout.

Right, and that's what we were evaluating it for. It's also the only one with pcie4, 8 memory channels, and CAPI. Nonetheless, it needs software and libraries to be updated to use some of these, and in many cases, they're not.

So with RedHat and the remains of IBMs hardware division, they make a push into the cloud with their own RISC-V servers with chips fabbed on an advanced node and with a full software stack driven by both IBM and RedHat developers. They'd be vertical in their cloud offerings.

You don't need to tell me I'm hallucinating - I know. But it's fun to imagine something good coming from this rather than the simple destruction of RedHat.

I live in a very suburban part of Tempelhof (on the border to Mariendorf, near the Teltow canal & the U6 line) & even here you occasionally find spent needles along the riverside.

Coming from Boston or Copenhagen, SF feels like
an extremely dirty and grimy city. So does Berlin.

I can see that...But man - visit New Delhi, Cairo, or hell even Tel Aviv or LA. Berlin is not that dirty - a relative judgment, sure - but I find comparing to Copenhagen (I haven't been to Boston since I was 14 so I don't really remember much) ingenuine.

It reminds of when I lived in Vienna & had a Swiss coworker telling me how bad the transit is in Austria (if you're unfamiliar - transit is amazing in Austria, to the point where you can live in a small alpine village and not need a car. Switzerland just happens to be one of the handful of countries with even better transit).
Concentration of power isn’t always socially optimal. It’s probably never optimal.
I don't even want to think of in terms of "[insert speed limit] bike", to me it makes more sense that your bike is however fast you ride it, and if it's an electric assist bike, you ride however fast your muscle plus the limited power of the engine ride it. Then it's only a matter of finding the right balance of power that makes the thing useful without turning it into an insane crotch rocket.
