I agree, but I think you can call a CLI app using node without any need for at least 4 extra packages.

IMO browser vendors should check some statistics , see what helper libraries are most popular and put those functions in the browser, similar for node, see what is popular and install that. Also the culture needs to change, when someone wants to explain how to create a thumbnail using image magic or other task that is just a wrapper then they should show the code on how to do it and avoid creating a new NPM package.

I assume but I could be wrong that some developers think that having published npm packages, github repos, blog posts are helpful n getting better jobs so the culture of "CV programming" appeared where a lot of packages,side projects and blogs are created but the quality suffers.
I like how Pod Save America (which is quite rife with ads) riffs on their advertisers and has amusing side-commentary on their advertisements that are in-line with current events.

It breaks out of the mold of a pure ad.
It works on a macro level though. You have to be ok with idea that the stereotype isn’t 100% perfect, it’s just used to get a majority of your target market.
Sometimes I wonder if researchers are too conflict-averse temperamentally to effectively police themselves. I remember grad school being suffused with below-the-surface grudges, innuendo, and shunning. Those aren't healthy ways to resolve conflicts, but they seemed like the path of least resistance for people who fear the raising of voices.
Actually I use this in one particular case: in Android there is an event callback "onActivityResult" and it's first parameter is integer. In all demos online you see officially looking name like SDCARD_WRITE_PERMISSION and when noobs copy paste it and try to compile it they can't find in which library it is defined, so when in demo code I use BANANA it's little bit more obvious that they have to define it yourself. But MY_SDCARD_WRITE_PERMISSION also works.

Banana makes it obvious that it's not official and on which two places it is connected together.
Hahahaha... not in the US, no way. Course-wide averages for many of the classes I taught were 85-90. The idea of a 'C' being an acceptable grade is out of the question nowadays.

Some of this probably has to do with internal requirements. For example, if you say that a student needs a 75 or better to count this course as a prereq for the next course, then do you really want half the students to have to retake the course every time? Some of this also has to do with societal expectations of getting As and Bs.

I can say, however, that the idea that a 75 is the class average is definitely not true at most US colleges.
There are certain games I have to play either very late or very early to give them the unbroken lengths of time they deserve. Not possible for everyone but if you can squeeze a long session once a month or every couple weeks it can dramatically change the experience of some games for the better.
You probably want to look up the .net sub on reddit and ask your question there. I think most .net devs use Angular on the frontend, though React/Vue are popular as well. In addition, there is an experimental frontend technology that a lot of .net devs are playing with called Blazor.
Right, exactly. Physics already is the subset of math that is a hard science, the rest of math isn’t.
Unlike traditionally advertising, most podcast ads are called to action with links and/or codes that tell the advertiser where the customer came from. If the advertising wasn’t returning the ROI that the advertiser wants, they would know.

But advertisers are willing to spend $6500+ for a spot on the most popular Apple related podcasts - The Talk Show and Accidental Tech Podcast - and they do so repeatedly so they must be effective.
Oh cool. Let's stop paying Google and Reddit employees.

Why should the packagers and distributors of other people's work always have the power? Google is the ultimate middleman.

The CIA has been shady far before the Snowden revelations, you can find plenty through the Freedom Of Information act.

>And why do we assume that their actions are in the national interest when it is not defined beyond platitudes about freedom.

Are you saying supporting SA is in our national interest? I don’t need the CIA to release info about SA for me not to support them. I’m not going to change my stance because of some possible CIA motive.
That second approach is pure product placement. I'm sure it's being monetized.
The level of humour I experience from spoken Spanish (especially on day-to-day conversation) is on another level compared to English. This is solely based on some words/phrases sounding way more funny in Spanish than in English. Can't think of any examples, but generally a quick 2-3 word phrase in Spanish will carry some (intended) funny-ness to it, whereas in English, the joke is on the meaning of the words rather than the sound and expression of it.

My English comprehension level is comparable to native speakers, so it's not because I'm missing any jokes. This is not to say I don't enjoy comedy in English, in fact, I seem to enjoy it as much as anyone else.
I spent over 2 years on a CLI and desktop app for local WP development that went pretty much nowhere. It was a frustrating time to put so much effort into something that failed.
That wouldn't work due to the cube-square law. Spiders can't even get enough oxygen at cow sizes due to their book lungs.
Just because one uses GPS to measure position does not mean one is calculating position in WGS84, the GPS native geodetic datum.

For instance many survey instruments use Differential GPS to obtain a more precise location by using corrections from a receiver at a well-established survey mark. When using DGPS the coordinate system becomes that of the reference mark, not the GPS system.

So I think the question is relevant, and takes note of the context in which ground motion is studied.

How? Java is compiled to bytecode, you don't know the architecture of the system the code is going to run on. It's one of the reasons javac only implements the simplest optimizations possible (constants folding and the like)
It's just pattern recognition, we have it because it's good for survival.

Maybe that grizzly bear is nice but I'm not going to try and pet it to find out because the stereotype is that it will rip me to shreds
While true, and I still remember those days, when many C code bases were full functions whose body was a big asm { ... } block, there were also compilers which were much better dealing with optimizations than those C compilers were capable of.

"An overview of the PL.8 compiler"

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.453...

Notice the architecture, quite similar to the layers and compiler phases used in modern compiler toolchains like LLVM.

The secret sauce, if one can call it as such, was that PL.8 had a richer type system, and the System/370 was a bit beefier than most platforms adopting C compilers.

I don't know. I recall a friend telling me he had somewhat of a bad experience in the past with Designspark. He said something about a lot of inconsistent crashing and if he didn't save it once in a while, he'll lose quite a bit of progress on his board.

However, that was over five years ago and was on a Windows machine.
I seem to have missed the Twitter spat that precipitated this essay, but I don't quite buy the larger argument he's making. We should judge approaches to AI based on their results, not on their conformance to a (vague, incorrect, untested) model of human cognition.

Symbolic AI fell out of favor primarily because it was not delivering results in impactful problem areas. Deep learning is currently popular because we are nowhere near the limit of what results it can produce.

Can this change? Of course! The history of deep learning itself proves as much. But if you want to genuinely influence the direction of the field, you have to lead by example and produce novel/interesting research results, not by kvetching in The New Yorker that your favorite approach is not getting enough attention.
But if more journals archive artifices (code + data) and there was a bigger push to keep these around, when replication fails, they can at least go back to the exact code and say, "huh .. they implemented this differently. I think this is the problem with their algo" or "oh, we forgot to account for this." .. ideally after you've written your own, looking only at the methodology and without looking at the code for the original.
#2 is essentially what the article describes.
I think they were referring to internal research that says 'if we do X we can sell more' which has naturally aligned incentives.

This as opposed to releasing research along the lines of 'cigarettes are fine for you! smoke more!'

If you have a good paper with important result, providing code and data is not necessary.

Providing the code to replicate is good form. It shows good faith and confidence. Exact replication (exactly replicating the study) is just the starting point to check that the code works and no obvious mistakes were made.

replication / reproducibility / hyperparameter sensitivity

If the research yields something really important and the method is well documented, usually it can be easily checked without having the data and the code. Things like dropout, batch normalization, residual learning, .. work over multiple different datasets and hyperparameters. You can reproduce the results without faithfully replicating the experiment.

If the claimed result vanishes unless you have the exact data, code or the hyperparameters, the research can't be said to be meaningfully reproducible in the scientific sense. Hyperparameter sensitivity is ML equivalent to P-Hacking.
Actually unrolling is often very important. In some cases it is even more important with modern high speed out-of-order cores. For example, you might need several accumulators to handle instruction or memory latency.

For small loops, unrolling is the most important of all, since loop carried dependency chains are dense, and the loop overhead is a high fraction of the overall work.

It is easy to get a 2x speedup by unrolling a small loop, and even larger speedups are not uncommon.

So this "unrolling rarely helps" idea is just as much of a myth as "unrolling never helps". The main problem with unrolling is that the compilers usually don't do it intelligently - usually loops are unrolling if some kind of threshold is met, depending on compiler options - but this always happens in kind of a feed-forward way, rather thank a feed-back way, which would involve unrolling the loop and analyzing the benefit and costs after further optimization passes.

To be able to watch 8K you not only need an 8K capable television

Why is all this high-resolution media walled behind decoder boxes and DRM? 4k blu-rays have some fairly intrusive DRM as far as I understand, and then there's 4k streaming like on Netflix, which requires hardware DRM to playback on PC.
The reasoning provided here is exactly why we often explicitly told students that they were not graded on a normal distribution. I was told that, historically, when students were graded on a normal distribution, it typically led to bimodal distributions of grades - a few students continued to try, but most were convinced that if they all did poorly then they would all still do fine, and so they just tried to be "good enough" and chance it. By the time I was teaching it was simply departmental policy not to grade this way.

Even without this historical evidence, however, it does seem unfair to grade this way for exactly the reasons in BugsJustFindMe's response. It might make sense in larger first-year classes, but in the more advanced smaller classes (say, 30 students) it's likely that you're already down to a set of students who try really hard and potentially all deserve an A. There's a lot of correlation between (perceived) difficulty of the course material and the students who take the class, so there's no reason to expect that you have the same distribution of students from those beginning first-year courses in your "Advanced Stochastic Processes" course.

I am using this definition:

>"Precise definitions vary,[4] but features often cited as characteristic of hard science include producing testable predictions, performing controlled experiments, relying on quantifiable data and mathematical models, a high degree of accuracy and objectivity, higher levels of consensus, faster progression of the field, greater explanatory success, cumulativeness, replicability, and generally applying a purer form of the scientific method."

I’ve raised the issue of pseudo code and missing data multiple times in my masters work. My contention is that public funding should require public access to such information for external verifying. I’ve been shutdown on every front. People say that the private work needs to remain private in order to ensure future research monitization from grants and IP sales.

Linguistic relativity
For the most part, yes, as most of the systems on a car are not safety critical (eg: someone dies if it fails). I would not like it if they did the same for the brakes on their cars or when they go full level 4.

Autopilot as it stands is on the blurry line between the two sides. Just changing the name I don’t think will fix people’s behavior.

It’s hard to get the point across that if you completely rely on autopilot/supercruse you will die and endanger everyone else without sounding like your full of FUD. There is a small subset of the population that will always think ‘I turned it on and it didn’t immediately kill me, so it must work perfectly in all situations’. As an example, just look at the number of videos of people ghost riding, where they assume that if they can take their hands of the wheel for a few seconds, they can also climb onto the roof of thier car and start dancing while its in motion.

Lecun didn't say he is not allowed criticize. He said that his contributions are zero but his criticisms abound.

Also some of the arguments are odd: It is not possible to show the limits of deep learning because people don't know how to prove what those limits are. If there was a "limits of the universal approximation theorem" paper^, then people would use that to derive the limits of their DL systems.
OTOH he proposes a number of possible implementations for symbols for which the evidence is not there, and there is no theoretical reason that necessitates their existence. Both arguments are not really falsifiable.

^ Actually there is at least one, however it seems it requires knowledge about the smoothness of the approximated function. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0888613X0...
Depends on the runtime.

You have the old JIT, replaced by RyuJIT on .NET 4.6 and .NET Core.

Then .NET Native, which does AOT compilation via the same backend as Visual C++.

Followed by Mono's JIT/AOT implementation.

Windows/Windows Phone 8.x used a Bartok derived compiler for the MDIL format.

Same applies to Java though, as the answer only goes through what Hotspot does, but there are many other JIT/AOT compilers for Java as well.

Great concept! As a time-starved hobby game dev, the focus on being able to make something quickly from a reference image is really refreshing, in comparison with the more common design approach geared toward those with deep, well-practiced polygonal modeling skills.
I like the direction your interface is going in. I love the Skin Modifier in Blender, but the workflow for that does feel a bit tedious, so I like the click-to-add-node approach. I also appreciate being able to move the rendered view around the window and scale it as desired.
It seems to me how the test subjects are selected likely matters. I presuming most studies advertise (in some form) for test subjects. That ad appeals to some but not to others, and that leaning could influence the results. In a way, the study starts there, not the lab.

If the study were a landing page, with a call to action, the conversions are influenced by the ad.

No doubt, 50% replication feels ugly. None the less, the fact is, the studies are slightly different. Maybe in theory that shouldn't matter, but perhaps the reality is it does. Again, per the PPC analogy.

Bloom filters are probabilistic, meaning they don't always produce the right result. From the article you posted:

> False positive matches are possible, but false negatives are not – in other words, a query returns either "possibly in set" or "definitely not in set". Elements can be added to the set, but not removed (though this can be addressed with a "counting" filter); the more elements that are added to the set, the larger the probability of false positives.

So I don't think they're the right choice for this problem, if you actually depend on the result "not here" vs "never was here" being right.
This person has made a " science " of this stuff.
She seems very astute
I saw nothing about bitrate? I can't help but thinking that the same bitrate would look better at 4k, or even 1080p.
There's no such thing as a replication crisis in science, that's just a conflict-averse way of saying that some "scientists" aren't actually doing science. It's not limited to Psychology and this type of conflict-averse approach is a big part of the problem. Other scientists, the "good ones," if there are indeed any good ones left, need to realize that what's at stake is the trust of their profession as a whole. If you're not willing to expose false research in your field, then you're no longer working in science.
Your funeral experience is certainly shared with me, especially when in comes to more distant, older relatives. I have been to several funerals where I learned someone's actual birth name and had never realized I knew them by a nickname or middle name.

My paternal grandfather was named Howard, but only went by Red from a fairly early age, a reference to pretty extreme red hair. By the time I was born his hair was neither red nor present, but the name was forever. His youngest son (my uncle) is also named Howard and is also a notable redhead, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone call him anything but Howie.

My brother in law is Alexander. Except he uses his middle name that starts with a J. He has 4 brothers, all whom also have a middle name that starts with J that they use day to day.

My father and brother in law's names are also homonyms, so in emails making plans it's always clear who is being referenced, but when someone shouts from the other room it's confusion.

Names are weird.

There will invariably be some need for a kind of testing. Though we very rarely utilize traditional unit tests. Property-based tests are our common testing entry point.

"Model conformance" issues can go both directions. The model can diverge from the implementation. The designer's intent can also be incorrectly expressed in the model.

Some forms of testing can be useful in describing the problem domain and expectations in a more approachable/transparent way, and those tests can be used as part of an ensemble of methods to attempt to ensure the model represents the designer's intent, and that the implementation conforms to the model.

It's also extremely unlikely that even if you're able to verify your software, that every other part of the stack/system will have the same assurances, and in those cases some forms of testing can also be useful for building trust in components that you have no proof for.

One of the podcasts that does sponsorships best is the Fantasy Footballers Podcast.

Every week they have a branded segment called “Pump the Brakes with O’Reilly Auto Parts”. To intro the segment they sing “O O O O’reilly Auto parts” and then keep going with the segment.

I’m surprised more shows don’t do branded segments...I always skip the 2 minute ad segments, but I sure know about O’reilly.

P.s. remember 2 years ago when every single podcast was sponsored by Squarespace? I’m glad that the market has grown a bit since then.
