Yeah that's kind of the problem with this entire discussion. People are discussing entirely different sorts of libraries.
I am not sure in which universe games can be described as hard real-time tasks but it's surely not the one we live in. Either way, it's laughable to say that Forth is terrible at hard real-time (see NASA link below).

The rest of your arguments are also similarly terrible which makes me question your familiarity with Forth.

Here is NASA using Forth:

I don't see how anything you said contradicted anything I said. My point was that training in any kind of martial arts other than firearm handling is worthless except for confidence building, and you're making that point for me by saying the way you stay safe in the world is by paying attention to your surroundings.
I have limited knowledge of machine learning so forgive me if I am wrong. I recall that some classification techniques provide you a confidence score of the classification... so can't you just treat a classification score lower than a certain threshold as "I don't know"?
Then very unlikely. I'd say no way.
I don't follow this area so my reply may be naive but it seems like developing super-weapons would be worthwhile if only to be able to detect when others are doing the same.
Not asking how to implement authority, but rather how to implement consensus. In other words, if A pays B, how does B know that the transaction really committed? If the data is there now, I need it to be there later, too. If everyone is just writing to their own Dat, how do I know they won't just "forget" that they paid me?
Seems so
The nice thing about using likelihood as the training criterion, you don't even need an extra category, you can just combine the outputs with basic decision theory, like so:

thres = wrong_cost / (wrong_cost+right_gain)
response = (max(out_probs) > thres) ? argmax(out_probs) : "I don't know"

While the bayesian methods can theoretically perform better for out-of-set inputs, it feels like an oversight to not include this simple method as a baseline. My gut feeling is that this would perform equally well, if not better.

Maybe TikTok is a better example, given its ability to influence public opinions.
The sort of off-chain processing I mentioned requires the wallets / holders to enter a special smart-contract (state-channels) that locks their tokens. Think of it as a having a tab at a bar where the barman keeps track of your orders and at some point may tell you the tab is closed and you don't have any credit left. In fact that very method was used recently in a festival here in the Netherlands (https://blog.loyalgarden.co/running-a-live-festival-on-crypt...)

Double-spends can only be securely verified once the transaction is processed on-chain but keeping track of nonces and signatures can be done with a secondary (off-chain) system which is easy to do with a limited population.

The Suntainers we built have WiFi and GSM included so that transactions can be relayed along the ground network.
I've done this here in the U.S. before. I'm not Catholic but Saint Meinrad Archabbey is 2-3 hours south of me here in Indiana. I was getting really burnt out from lots of OT and had been talking to someone I know that used to be a Catholic monk, he did some searching and reached out to St. Meinrad and arranged for me to stay there for a few days.

It was great. The monks basically left me alone, I had a small private room with no television or radio, there were common areas where people would quietly talk, I just sat around enjoying calm and quiet. Eventually one of the monks got brave enough to come over and ask me what was up haha which was also great because I had a very interesting conversation with him about life in general and then he suggested I talk to the Friar that was the director of the guest part of the archabbey which I did and had an interesting few hour conversation about ancient Greek, Latin, early Catholic church popes, art. It was great.

I think people really need to experience stuff like this be it the way I did it, the way the article has it or just going to a 'quiet retreat' or some such.

Our lives are over-saturated with things screaming for our attention.
burned how exactly?
I have never understood what problem self-driving cars is trying to solve. I can, on the other hand, see that it could be more desirable to have self flying planes. But to even think that self flying = issue free and non crashable planes is beyond naive. Personally I believe that the best is to let humans do what they do best, and let computers do what they are good at. Without trying to force one into the other's shoes. (Computers has shoes, don't they?)
Filling our landfills full of disposable products? Copying our IP? I love Aliexpress for some things, however we are subsidizing the shipping for most products on there with our tax dollars (This might change soon). $7 for me to ship a few states away, less that $1 for most Chinese products to US vis USPS. Even the Chinese don't trust most Chinese Products (Chinese Girlfriend).
You dont need blockchain to cut the middleman out of indusrty X.

Counterexample: electronic peer-to-peer money transfer. You simply couldn't do it without a middleman before Bitcoin. Now you can. What value you place on the ability depends a lot on the privileges you currently enjoy.

However, this only works given another property that you didn't mention: censorship-resistance. This requirement disqualifies most other "blockchain" project. This is what most "cryptocurrency investors" still don't get.
Yeah, my hearing's not the best and I really just cannot hear what people are saying half of the time. It's like... everybody's struggling to hear each other, but I really cannot hear. I just can't do those kinds of spaces, at least not if I want to have a conversation.

I honestly don't know how people can produce something decent while working fulltime.

I am usually home at about six. I then cook, do dishes and hurry to get to sports training, am back at 22:00, hit the shower and go straight to bed.

I also have a buttload of stuff I want to learn, and so many projects I want to do that I never get to really work on anything.
Did it not ask for permission? "Type in your admin password to install?"

This seems like an OS problem to me. I wish Apple and MS would clamp down on allowing apps to even ask for root to install. I don't think the OS should be as locked as iOS, as a user I still want control, but the fact that so many apps ask for root to install needs to be stopped. 99.9% of all apps need to be sandboxed

You've seen 40-50 street fights. How many have you been in? I'm not asking you because I think experience in street fights matters for the purpose of the discussion. I'm asking specifically because such experience doesn't matter when it comes to staying out of harm's way.

The reason you've never been in a street fight is because you don't seek them out and know how to avoid them. This is not a skill any martial art will teach you and if that's what they are teaching you, you're getting ripped off.
Right now it's not open-source, but It will be. I did a lot of R&D and because of that, the code needs refactoring and organizing. There are many programs for sandboxing for eg. Firejail[0].

So, I'm supposed to believe some anon's interpretation of this documentary... apparently based on his subjective analysis of some guy's twitter feed... over my own lying eyes?

How do you explain the Russian documents on Browders website that say ... what Nekrasov says, and NOT what Browder says? It's a pretty simple fact check; you don't even need to speak Russian to do it. I did it, and it appears that Nekrasov was honest and Browder is the deceptive lunatic who wants to start WW-3 over his tax bill. Hey, I could be wrong: on the other hand, I'm providing citations and you, an anon, are providing opinions as to the political content of someone's twitter feed.
Possibly. There's absolutely nothing wrong with building something with new tech just for fun, but when you're trying to build a business of course you have to think about whether it actually adds value.
Until blockchain can scale, or people can find a problem worth paying txn fees, Bitcoin will be the only coin with value.

BPM is the best indicator. Most house is slower, most techno is faster.
The idea behind libraries is that a minimum of knowledge should be accessible to everyone.

For what it's worth, there's still a lot of information you can acquire legally and for free from a library that you can't get both legally and for free from the internet.

In camabridge ma the newish library (less than 10 years old) has a designated “quiet” study room. I haven’t been inside but I’m assuming it’s like the quiet train cars, where loud talking is frowned upon.
There's a talk on youtube (Children of Magenta, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN41LvuSz10) given to an audience of pilots, it's a complicated issue.
My mom is a children's librarian and in my experience the point of a library is to help kids and to get them to like reading, neither of which is silent. Reading to kids, teaching them, and helping them pick books are all primary parts of a library and none of them are silent. You can have specific sections set aside to be quiet as libraries should adapt to the communities they serve but saying that the purpose of a library is to read is taking an incredibly narrow view of libraries.

No you don't disagree. The comment you're responding to doesn't say users shouldn't be free to add whatever root certificate they want. Of course they should.

What should be illegal are programs that silently add a root certificate without the user's informed consent. I very much doubt you disagree with that.
I don’t enjoy going out to eat anymore and prefer to DoorDash food precisely because it’s too loud. The ironic thing is I have hearing damage so you’d think it would bother me less.

In practice the corporation "dictating" the set of publicly trusted CA roots is the Mozilla Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit with a large volunteer effort.

On paper all the major browser vendors / operating system vendors (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Mozilla) have independent root trust programmes. But after several years working on this stuff I would say that all real public oversight is done by Mozilla, which AFAICT suits everybody else just fine.

So you can and should help Mozilla "dictate" what is trustworthy. You might be surprised how much difference you can make.

The libertarian dream solution (everybody makes their own trust decisions somehow) is unrealistic in the face of the reality that most people just vaguely assume that "someone" is keeping them safe and lack both the technical knowledge and the spare time to make useful decisions.
> How are we supposed to trust autonomous cars when the smartest engineers on the planet can't automate the condition of not diving a plane into the ground.

Easy: air travel is still safer than car travel by orders of magnitude. Treating an incident like this one is an avoidable tragedy with lessons to learn is important, and thankfully this is changing for car crashes slowly [1], but a single failure of an autonomous system does not mean that it's not at all viable, because the alternative, purely human driving, is clearly a lot worse.

Who are experts in learning new machines and can nearly always recognise speech, but generally prefer email.
The moment we allow this we are done as humans.
Even if it can be labeled as "safe" someday, we will eventually be replaced by machines if we combine gene editing with AI. It may even take a thousand years but it will happen for sure. It just takes an evolutionary pressure or even just a preference among humans that favors designer babies. At some point it will be disadvantageous to reproduce the natural way or even to not sterilize your designer babies from the get go and the designed humans will most likely be advancing this technology further with every generation. At that point a machine would be our true replicator and we'd be lost.

Yes, it's important to the restaurant to know if your meal is okay while there's still a chance to do something about it. It's also a chance to ask for anything else without a restaurant of people flagging down the wait staff.

From what I understand from reading PPrune forums, pulling the circuit breaker for trim irregularities is the de facto standard operating procedure on the 737, and has been for over a decade+.

Hopefully they find the CVR and that gives us more insight into what the crew was thinking. It is odd that the pilots struggled with trim controls for ~11 minutes and didn't think to disable it.

The media has focused on the new MCAS system on the 737-Max, but I think that is somewhat irrelevant, considering that the procedures for addressing trim irregularities non-Max models are the same: pull the trim circuit breaker.
how effective would this be in deep nets with small data sets?

Personally, I see the dweb as internet of the early days, when we were all writing blogs and publishing tools just because we found it cool. If Dat makes it difficult for big players to launch commercial products on it, I would call that a feature (but it's too early to say if it's the case). They already have the web for that.
Can you elaborate on this:

>we are subsidizing the shipping for most products on there with our tax dollars (This might change soon). $7 for me to ship a few states away, less that $1 for most Chinese products to US vis USPS.

Are you saying USPS operates its package service from China at a loss? (Or subsidized by its other services.) Do you know why they're doing that? If they are doing that, isn't it a viable strategy to do for a while even if USPS were private?

Overall isn't USPS self-sufficient though so that rather than "tax dollars" you mean "postal fees"?

>Even the Chinese don't trust most Chinese Products (Chinese Girlfriend).

What is your parenthetical statement about, sorry I'm ignorant but I couldn't figure it out.
I did, and it worked out fine for me. However the languages are a bit similar. I went from C# to Java. I was upfront with it, and showed my eagerness to learn and develop.

They did only give me a 1-year contract, and a stipulation to get some Oracle cert but did support me throughout. Now that I've shown them that I can adapt (be productive/billable, and got the certs done) they offered me a permanent contract (indefinite period of time).

So yes, bother to apply. But put the work in to show them you can adapt.
That one I don't know. They seem tolerate me just fine so far, for what it's worth. Call them "realists" perhaps? While gaming, they are well aware I have much worse reaction times and working memory than them, but I can make it up with relevant experience to certain extent.

You raise a very good point, and I will take care to spread the message of "respect your elders". Obviously behaving respectably is a prerequisite. I think the Gen Z-ers feel a less hung out to dry by the adults than the Millenials, so there ought to be less resentment and less distrust.

On the other hand, the holders of higher education degrees may end up looked down with a degree of sneer in a decade or two, due to the current title bubble.

Cryptocurrencies are designed to be inefficient. You can perform 'valueless' BC using far less energy than bitcoin. Bitcoin is inherently limiting by design to long tail the mining of coins as the count draws down.
Do you mean programming as a job, or programming as an activity/art? They seem two very different things; some people are answering one or the other or a combination.

I noticed some refer to programming as a craft - maybe programming as a job is usually a craft. For myself, I am motivated to write a program because I don't know what the output will be - i.e. not a craft, where the end result is known and aimed for. It's like an experiment - it's worth doing because I don't know what will happen.
