Apollo lake and Gemini lake support regular LPDDR4. I bet, you can make it use LPDDRX timings.
Cars address a different set of requirements. You use one when you need to transport many people, heavy cargo, tools, etc. A scooter does not solve any of those problems.

A scooter does allow a single person and their possessions to travel at faster than walking pace without getting sweaty. In the CBD that is not necessary, since public transport works so well. In the suburbs a scooter is more effective.
Apple Watch unlock is even better - especially when I'm at work and my mac is off to the side with my focus on my 2 external monitors.

PyTorch with its explicit state that can be easily examined by hand in PyCharm debugger will be way easier for people coming into the field.
I think a better, albeit more difficult and expensive solution, would be to implement space for scooters and things like them. In the US we only have two spaces: the sidewalk and the street. Adding a third space for bikes, scooters, and other small personal vehicles would go a long way to promote safety and efficiency.
Also Cost-Based can do some really dumb things if a table's contents change by quite a bit before stats are run again. I like being able to give hints so that you can switch between Cost or hierarchy based queries.

Not for the victim.
The grandparent is meant as an example of one of the many tradeoffs that are hard to decide via objective truths. The exact details are not significant to the larger point.

But along the way to the unfortunate end you describe above, many good things came of the dam. Any calculus needs to evaluate the tradeoffs. "Were they worth it?" doesn't lend itself to objective-factual analysis, because "worth" is all about values.

Not at all. For instance, if there are innate gender dispositions to certain subjects, then those fields will have a much larger proportion of that gender. There's evidence this may be the case in STEM for instance, which would explain the so-called gender equality paradox.
> "we should maximize utility because that's better than less utility

Depending on how you define "utility" - this is either a meaningless tautology that doesn't say anything at all, or a subjective belief that can be easily challenged by equally subjective alternatives.
You’ve clearly not lived in San Francisco. My 3 mile commute takes 45 minutes by bus. It’s only a 30 minute bike or scooter ride.
Many of the books on that site are pirated reprints. Great way to get cheap textbooks, but it's not surprising that they would attempt to ban some of the countries often responsible for those.
In my opinion, the single most point in job seeking is to get feedback as much as possible, as early as possible.

Consider these bad examples:

sending many resumes and didn't get any response. This is huge blow to morale and there no hint on what should be improved, which went wrong.

- to fix it: get someone in field to review the resume and give suggestions. This is simple but many people didn't do it. And it's totally possible to find somebody you never know before to review your resume.

decide to jump on a wagon (data science, machine learning) and plan years for it, like online degree, many courses, a master or even a Ph.D!

- problem: it took too much time to get some feedback, and the commitment is too big, often not executable in reality. It's possible somebody spent a lot of effort to get in a program, only to find out he/she doesn't like/fit it later.

- and the wagon may be outdated when you finished the program.

- to fix: tiptoe as early as possible, like a side project, some short courses. This of course require some existing experience and skills.

In general,

- meetup is a great way to meet with people, learn about the field.

- doing side project is very useful.
Shouldn't "unless both inputs are sorted on the same key" be "unless both inputs are sorted on the join key"? And similarly later.
One feature I really miss in a lot of chat clients (that this doesn't appear to have) is the ability to reply to specific messages, like in Stack Exchange chat or Telegram. It makes it a lot easier to follow several simultaneous conversations, or groups with many members.

You're wrong.

Science is about building and refining models (theories) in order to make them match observable reality as close as possible, in order to use those models to predict what happens in the future - both by itself, and in consequence of us poking stuff. That's what it means to know "how something works".

Engineering takes these models and adds a "what's the best way to poke things to achieve a desired outcome?" aspect.

Formal proofs are for mathematicians. Mathematics is a purely abstract invention and operates in its own universe, where absolute formal proofs are possible.

Sure, but look at your typical freeway rush hour traffic jam— how many of those vehicles really have multiple people or heavy cargo?

The point is that for short commutes and as a last mile solution to extend the coverage of public transit, scooters are amazing. And a rental system means they can stay downtown instead of needing to take up space both ways on the mass transit vehicle.
> Tolerance does not and must not require tolerating intolerance [0]

I honestly hate how often this is trotted out. Does no one realize that this claim is not based on any evidence whatsoever? Why prefer Popper's claim over Rawls' or Jefferson's?

Am I the only one who reads a bunch of the stuff Sundar has done recently as (1) Sundar disagreeing very strongly with how Larry handled sexual harassment issues at google (see eg Andy), and (2) making it clear that he handles them differently?

eg in his Oct memo Sundar carefully pointed out that people at google on his watch have been fired for sexual harassment, and none of them got a package [1].

I find the terminology used by all these similar projects (linux on chromeos too) amusing. Both, Android and ChromeOS run the linux kernel. So it's like that Yo Dawg meme. On the other hand, MS is even more creative. What could be a legitimate use of "linux on windows" is called windows subsystem for linux. Marketing these days.
This whole thread is becoming toxic; and I know my karma will be negatively impacted but I have to say:

Diversity of race or gender is not really important when it comes to working by itself.

Diversity of experience and thought is very important when it comes to working.

What I mean is a very middle-class white family and a very middle-class black family producing offspring in a house next to each other and sending their kids to the same school(s): are not going to be functionally diverse enough for what I'm about to say.

Why?: because people who are thinking differently to you are approaching problems from other sides than you are, if you can be civil then you can build your product in ways you could never do alone.

Now; people who were raised in a different kind of culture or social class than you are basically by default: thinking differently.

It doesn't have to be colour, but in the US (from a brit perspective) your class system looks like black people are sandwiched between middle-class white folk and very low-class white folk. So some people might see that 'hiring black folk would increase our diversity of thought'

or.. more likely, they're being judged on metrics and skin colour/gender is an easy metric to game for.

Giving people an equal shot is noble and we should aspire for it. The business incentives come in because your product will be better with divergent opinions and by increasing the talent pool the supply of coders will meet the demand.. (and then they can pay coders less in the longer term)

I chose wrong! I lost years! I'm not getting any younger! I missed the opportunity!

Yeah, no.
I don't think the parent comment is at all disagreeing with the existence of any utility in "banning alcohol" here.

The gist of what the parent comment is saying, is that, if you have a policy in place to "compensate" for a certain "negative trait," what you are actually doing is inviting _more_ of that trait, because you are signaling that your company will put effort in to help deal with that, which means that someone who needs help monitoring their alcohol consumption would be _more likely_ to work for you, thus accomplishing essentially the opposite of what you wanted.

Mature adults who do _not_ need someone else to monitor their alcohol consumption are far more likely to inherently present with the responsible, adult behaviors that you desire. But, a mature adult who can already sufficiently moderate their own alcohol consumption is going to be _less likely_ to want to work at a place where said consumption is heavily, outwardly regulated/enforced, because why would they want to be constantly told something that they have already fully incorporated into their mature, adult habits and personality?
Interesting I sort of got the impression that it was mandatory company provided arbitration with NDA's was one of the key elements of the walkout.
High-density areas typically have bike lanes for scooters to use.

The problem of getting ~3 miles in a city like SF (SoMa to Mission) involves a 10 min walk to a train, and several more minutes walking once you get off the train, or walking to a bus stop and waiting 10+ mins there, with another walk to your destination. 10-15 minute car or scooter trips easily become 45+ min public transport trips.
I've been using it daily for about a year. I run it behind Apache (for SSL with LetsEncrypt) on a 1 year reserved T2.Nano VM in AWS ($3.125/month) that I also occasionally use for other things.

I'm involved in a lot of open source but had used IRC only intermittently until I got The Lounge running.

I've really enjoyed it. I'm able to log in and see the same unreads and direct messages across my work PC, personal PC, and phone and iPad. The software has been reliable and relatively painless to update. The UI functions nicely on touch devices.

Before The Lounge I operated ZNC in EC2, but configuring device-specific clients to use it was a chore, and I didn't find myself using IRC very much. Now, I use IRC all the time.

Obviously if you're not comfortable maintaining a server then this isn't the option for you, but as a "power user" I've found the web UI perfectly tolerable. Instead of maintaining IRC clients on multiple devices and pointing them at ZNC, I maintain a single IRC client -- The Lounge.
No we don't use metrics store.
While many on this forum may understand why what this analysis shows is not good science, the article does a poor job of explaining why finding positive results one wasn't originally looking for may not be reliable.

I can imagine a non-statistically minded person thinking "So what it's not what they were looking for originally? We're missing positive findings now. This is a terrible regulation." When in reality these "positive" findings were p-hacked to meet minimum criteria for statistical significance and likely arose by chance since luck would have it that in any study there will be some set of data that by chance is a statistical aberration.
That's very cool as a concept. I'd like to see Apple get all over something like this as well.

"Everyone knows already that mandatory XY training serves to deflect liability from the company."

That is the way things are today (mostly), but it doesn't follow that this one must necessarily be so. It might end up that way--time will tell--but the company is actually trying to avoid legal-checkbox training and to get something that actually makes a difference.

> To me the notion of a need for diversity in a workplace is absurd. Seriously, whats the point?

There are some advantages. For instance, people with different religions or cultural backgrounds will have non-overlapping holidays, so your office might be open on days that you might otherwise have to close.

Or consider if you're creating a dating app, you would absolutely want a woman's input on how to reduce harassment (see Tinder vs. Bumble).
>Truly - what % of people could actually commute using these things? It's very small. Of those, who would actually do it? In winter? Up and down hills? Are they a little bit too old for this, or maybe not so open minded?

Potentially: Everyone, winter to summer (look up his other videos), up and down hills (they're electric, hills don't matter), regardless of age. America is not the only country in the world, but even the US has cities far denser than the spread out, gridlocked hell of LA like San Francisco or NYC.

I'm not as familiar with the GPLv3 but for v2 it's very clear that you're only allowed to charge what it cost you to provide the source code redistribution. Section 3 subsection b makes this very clear.

> Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;

I believe that "equivalent access" is intended to mean the more restrictive interpretation that you're not allowed to charge a fee for downloading the source code without also charging an additional fee for providing the binary to customers that already have a license. I.E. If you provide binaries for free on your website you can't pull a Mikrotik and demand that any requests for the source must be mailed in to an address in Latvia along with $50 (or something like that) for them to mail you a CD a month later while at the same time have binaries available on your website for free.

The spirit of that clause has always been that the distributor should not put some onerous burden on anyone requesting access to the source code. They can charge what it takes them to provide the service for GPLv2 and from what I can tell for GPLv3 it's limited to what they charge for binaries.

Google announces new sexual assault and harassment rules after mass protest
I have been a paid customer of Zeit for a while and have really loved their products thus far. But v2 is making me reconsider my plans. The other day, I tried to scale an existing app to an additional region and I promptly found out that Node apps are not supported in their newer regions, such as GRU. The new regions only support v2 and can't even run a Hello World without Docker, which is completely stupid. I'm not going to add any bloat to my app just to use those regions. And even if I did, I wouldn't want to go "serverless" any time soon, given the much more mature and robust ecosystem for traditional server frameworks. Lots of things around serverless are still being figured out. Yes, it is totally doable to run some things that way in production, but it's not yet what I would personally choose for most of my apps.

I just love how these DNN researchers love to bash prior work as over-hyped, while hyping their own research through the roof.

AI researchers did some amazing stuff in the 60s and 80s, considering the hardware limitations they had to work under.

>"AT the core, it's just one simple idea of a neural network."

Not really. First neural networks were done in the 50s. Didn't produce any particularly interesting results. Most of the results in the video are a product of fiddling with network architectures, plus throwing more and more hardware at the problem.

Also, none of the architectures/algorithms used by deep learning today are more general than, say, pure MCTS. You adapt the problem to the architecture, or architecture to the problem, but the actual system does not adapt itself.
Eventually, the economy will crash, or at least the cheap energy will run out, and then people will be forced to get tough again.
"Science", in the broadest sense, is only concerned with the systematic study of the physical and natural world through observation and experimentation, with the goal of explanation and predictability. To that end, science is reliant of empirical evidence, not formal proofs.

The various disciplines that generally rely on "formal proofs" are referred to as "formal sciences" (logic, mathematics, statistics, etc.), but are technically not actual "sciences" since they are fundamentally abstract (as opposed to how we defined science above) - which is why they are generally concerned with formal proofs and not empirical evidence. Of course the formal sciences frequently provide the natural sciences and social sciences with ways to describe the physical/natural world and the social world, respectively.
It is precisely the rationale of democracy that you DO 'get to pick and choose which laws should be enforced' (to some extent).

We can change the law formally, but rely on people following and enforcing that law in the absence of the formal change.

It's not for companies or individuals to decide, unilaterally, what laws they will enforce or follow, in any society.
