That's kind of cherry-picking, isn't it? 1850-1950 basically rewrote the sum of human knowledge when it comes to physics. That isn't a "baseline", it's a major breakthrough.
I came across it because I have a microscope component that was left sideways and learned that the inner lens of a doublet had slid on it's bonding media, rendering the component useless. Trying to warm it and gently slide it back into place didn't work (pulled an air bubble in), so I ended up on this deep dive into lens bonding. And I just really enjoyed this guy's total obsession with the trade.

It's definitely not presented as a case-study in adaptive design. It's a case study in great, edge-case content.

I’d prefer you responded to what I actually wrote, rather than a straw man I didn’t write. I can only really refer you back to my original comment, which answers the question, “What’s your point” without the unreasonable framing of my answer.

To reiterate If the rise of Google has taught us anything it’s to analyze a business in terms of its likely future, not its present spin and PR. If all it takes to make more money is to flip a switch, then it’s reasonable to worry that such a flip is just a matter of wider adoption and time.

Brave is a combination of adtech undermining other adtech, cryptocurrency, and a lot of verbiage. I feel that’s a reason to be concerned when the line between said verbiage and future profits (assuming widespread adoption rather than withering away) is the flip of a single option from “opt-in” to “opt-out”.

In my experience a 'principal' security consultant (I'm in infosec) is the same as the principal engineer you mention. They talk a lot but are so busy, they delegate everything and are very out of practice. If any actual work needs doing, they delegate not only because they don't have time but also because they would need to relearn and look up a lot of things. The junior and senior roles, however, are often pretty accurate descriptions, though the biggest difference is often in management skills and not in technical skills. Some juniors can't do anything and some are as good as some seniors will ever get, but in terms of talking to higher ups or negotiating between companies, there is usually a clear difference. And if a principal consultant still has technical skills, it's not noticeably better than a senior's.
Great point! `dvc pull\push mydataset` actually exists in DVC. But `dvc tag` is missing and now we (DVC team) understand that it prevent DVC from a proper datasets and ML models tracking. It will be implemented soon.

>My understanding is a great deal of od'ing comes from people not knowing what or how much of what they are putting in their bodies

I don't see how that's possible with opioids, they are manufactured in a professional pharmaceutical factory with precise dosage. Percs, vikes & oxys are described by dosage amount (there are Oxy 20s, Oxy 40s, Oxy 80s, etc.) Nothing like street drugs. Not sure what you're referring to in your second sentence (my impression is that lots of recent ODs come from fentanyl)
Sorry, that's bollocks. AMD did not put their driver into the upstream tree! What is in that tree is the open source driver developed by volunteers, based on ATI specs.

ATI/AMD still has their own proprietary, closed blob driver that is not in the tree - and which actually runs quite a bit faster than the open source one.
Yes, I have done this. Mostly because my work depended on certain technical architecture being setup but there was an unwillingness by management to do so. This was primarily because other people at the company refused to admit they didn’t have the expertise to set it up and instead did their best to cause my project to drag for months. I eventually left and completed a project that dragged for over 2 years in less than 3 months for another company.

It was overall a very frustrating and stressful part of my life that I would have done everything in my power to not be involved in if I could have predicted the future.

Mozilla's redesigned add-ons page was guilty of this as well, at first, but a Mozilla employee saw my complaint on r/Firefox and fixed it. Sometimes all it takes is letting them know you're having a problem with the site.

There should be established minimums for body text contrast that are followed by web developers, though.

Sometimes I feel the same way about font size, although that's much easier to fix at the browser level for anyone who needs a larger size...

Supply and demand?

When you are employed they demand you show up every day and you supply yourself. There isn't an expectation that you wont supply yourself. After you leave but before you are hired back then there is demand but no supply. Leverage I guess. Makes sense to me.
> How does video playback acceleration work on AMD cards with VLC or mpv?

It works great in MPV, I don't use VLC so I can't comment on that. The major problem right now with video acceleration is that Chromium (or maybe it's my distribution's build of it) seems to have enabled VA-API acceleration, but the Mesa VA-API state tracker (I think, I'd be glad to be corrected on this) I think is missing the API that would tell Chromium which pixel format to expect the decoder's output in; so Chromium assumes that it'll be in a certain format which it turns out not to be, and this leads to hideous corruption.

I suspect that if and when there is any significant amount of HEVC content on the web, this issue will probably be resolved by then. For now there are configuration parameters which can be used to work around the issue by disabling the pixel format Chromium defaults to, and do so just in chromium, but a fix (which will be in Mesa 19) is required for that configuration to work with Chromium (due to its unusual process naming).

I have used the MJPEG UVD decoder through ffmpeg to decode my 4K webcam's output and it works a treat.
That is not at all how science works. Models yield predictions about the world, not "results" as you suggest. We design experiments to test if those predictions, and thus the models, are correct. Often, new "results" are found when a model fails, and that is why we test boundary conditions.

There is no way of predicting which line of work is likely to yield new physics as you suggest there is.
> “Provide incentive for prospects to sign up for freemium but do not provide too much value so that free version of the product is enough.”

That was a quote from another Quora answer. The article was my answer to a Quora. I found that quote corny and far from what a startup should be. It's not what I believe in.

As someone else pointed in the comments, you're a power user. And you're annoyed by ads — but as mentioned in the article, some people prefer paying with time. And Spotify is okay with that. 2GB means is more than enough to change the word — a document can have only a few kilobytes and be the basis of the cure for cancer.

Same for GitHub. What I'm advocating for is giving equality of opportunity and then capitalising on people only if they make money out of it. "Not amazing but still great" is the way to go for short-term. But too many people are stuck in the short term, even though they've met their basic needs.

And what I'm saying is not limited to "poor people". I know a lot of rich people who like to start lean simply for the sake of seeing proof of concept. They have millions in their bank yet they ask their cofounder to chip in £5,000 on the idea.

In this sense, they'd benefit from equality of opportunity given by services — once their idea is validated (maybe after 5 tries?), they'll bring their money and power. But they'll start with the lean version, if possible

I Just look at total g of sugar and total calories.
This. This really is the value add and it's unique to every company, so it just takes time to learn.
Probably not with this tech. This tech is integrating with your nerves and slowly training it to interpret signals from your brain, and I think vice versa. That won’t ever apply to casually worn appendages.

So what could be done? Probably an indirect method would work better. Use existing motor controls (maybe finger gestures?) and an eye tracker to direct your doctor octopus arms (for which power and weight will be primary concerns).

We won’t get sensory feedback properly, but you might imagine having a single external device which channels some sort of sensory trick to 80/20 it.

When will this arrive? Wearable arms probably don’t have a market, but the control scheme and sensory feedback are going to be top of mind for VR / AR hardware devs I would think
I was in the training industry as a coach/trainer before going full time developer. One reason I went into software instead was because of all the bs, guess what, it's even more bs in the software industry. You should use these tools, these programming languages are the best, you should follow these style guides, chasing the next big thing, sound familiar ? :P At least with exercise there are a lot of scientific studies, but in software there are mostly gurus, hype, cool-aid and strong beliefs, and plenty of money to be made by smooth talk and snake oil. Just like in software , the experienced developers do not buy the bs, just like the experienced coaches/athletes. It's people who buy software, or are new to training that fall for it.

They'd lose more if they did that. Do you think the whole world of HPC/ML/scientific computing will switch to windows to use nvidia cards ? The answer to that is no. They'll just move over to AMD. ROCM is coming along fairly well. Or something else will pop up. Don't get too attached to blobs.

I remember having books with such art as a little kid. Im so old.
That's my exact issue with Brave - though I do like what they're aiming for despite being in the ad-tech business.

I don't think it's the browser's role to police such things, it should be a dumb agent only requesting content, displaying it and not leaking any sensitive stuff.

I believe the way forward is to have another 3rd party where you can manage those things.
Want to create one persona per category of website you visit?

Maybe, but that’s not even orthogonal to my point, and unrelated to my post or this topic. I’m not going to engage in a trite debate over well-worn ideological ground in which you scream “freeloaders” and I talk about the right to fast forward through ads, or turn down the volume on the radio during ads. Instead I’ll just say that a majority of users believe that their computers are their property, and have the right to control what runs on them. This is especially true when advertisers have shown contempt for user privacy and even whether or not they deliver malware.

Beyond that, I hope that you can start responding to things I’ve actually said, instead of just responding with “pithy” and tangential one-liners. I’m not interested in an intellectually bankrupt form of posturing in place of real debate.
Because such a fantastical technology would have gigantic military and economic implications for any nation in possession of it. If any credible researchers could demonstrate a plausible path towards such a discovery scientists would be up to their eyes in DARPA research grants.
Wow, I had never considered the conceptual difference between signing and encrypting.

In the abstract 'encrypt with the private key' is a totally meaningless sentence for assymetric encryption. The entire point of a public key is decryption not encryption.

I do however believe that textbook RSA signing is secure in the simplest model. It is incredibly malleable but (especially when modeling the hash as a PRF) prevents forged signatures. In that sense I'd equate calling it secure to newtonian mechanics without friction and with perfect elasticity. That is, it forms a simple teaching model, and can inform an intuition on how things work. However, no-one should build things based on the model and expect it to come out correctly.
But why must it be an AI? There was a time when systems were designed to let let me decide what I want.

Edit: For example. YouTube could have a feature that would let me filter out phrases like “top 10” or “amazed” from results.
True, when it comes to radio, we don't have the luxury of complaining about ads. Sure, you can switch to another station but what if you're driving...?

> bad patterns for some people

I have definitely seen that in other people when I was doing my physics undergrad. And to some extent, I probably experienced that myself.

I was on the road to starting a Cosmology PhD with incredibly high aspirations but my (then) girlfriend gave me an ultimatum: physics or me. To be fair, she was the primary bread winner and a graduate lifestyle would have been an even greater strain on the relationship. So, I opted for the latter and went into software. Also, like you, I have no regrets.

I still miss physics incredibly and, you’re right, there is something exceedingly sexy about solving those (including mathematics here) sorta problems. I sort of see it as a way to reach across generations and walk the same paths as the giants have. Anyway, I do find a great amount of joy in software problems, but nothing beats that first love.

It doesn't run faster, this is nonsense. I've personally met the AMDGPU driver developers and if you ask them they'll even tell you that basically no one needs AMDGPU Pro. It's not faster, this is bollucks.

> On the other hand, the double-slit experiment doesn't take any expensive equipment, and if things had gone differently, could easily have gone un-noticed until 2019.

This is highly doubtful.

The moment you have "something <mumble> is a wave" you immediately perform an interference experiment.

The photoelectric effect demands a particle interpretation.

The combination of the two in a double slit experiment is almost immediate and obvious.

We went from Millikan in 1913 determining the charge on an electron to DeBroglie hypothesizing electrons also having wave/particle duality in 1924 to the Davisson-Germer experiment in 1927. That's really fast given the technology of the day.

This sounds like standard title inflation, and it's not restricted to just technical ladders. It's certainly a problem, but I don't think we should discount the idea of principal engineering roles just because job titles can be misused or abused.

The company I'm at has a single principal engineer. He was hired externally. Within a year of starting, he'd had a bigger impact across teams than the CTO in the same time period. He doesn't necessarily write tons of code, but he's also not sitting in an ivory tower telling other developers what to do. Rather, he very quickly got in tune with the sorts of technical problems being faced by basically every team and developer at the company and started introducing various techniques and technologies to resolve pain points around the organization. Before long, we were doing things that wouldn't have even been possible before.
