I wonder what kind of BIOS/EFI replacement there will be on RISC-V motherboards. A brand new ISA seems like a great time to throw out any legacy features and focus on a future proofed low level firmware.

This looks great! Bummer it has a per-seat license, instead of per-developer, though.
You could use one sed command to replace your grep, cut, and python. It feels cheap to use python do massage data in a post about Unix command line.
Cool idea, and a good use for systemd timers.

A few things: 1) your home directory (/home/qertoip/) is hardcoded in the .service file, 2) this assume you're using cinnamon-screensaver, for portability you should probably have a configuration var for "lock command" or similar, and 3) you should avoid the symlink setup for /usr/lib/systemd/system/, user .service and .timer files should be put in (or symlinked into) /etc/systemd/system (see man 5 systemd.unit).

OK. I guess don't change the framing of taxation from Right vs. Left to framing the issue to one of determining the optimal way to fund what society needs/wants.

I doubt you can large numbers of the Left saying what you claim. Specifically that the reason for wanting to increase taxes is to get rid of wealth inequality. I have heard people say things to the effect that beyond a certain point the wealthy can afford to pay more taxes in order to fund some programs. These things are nuanced and it's not helpful to reduce everything to a slogan.
They are, but "Mormon" is being phased out in favor of "LDS".

That's an interesting point. As an app developer myself (so maybe not the target audience) I'd love to be able to change some aspects of it, even if it made things look "bad" as it would be a part of the fun/identity of the app. I'm not asking to adjust layout per-se (as that's more complex), but simply to manipulate fonts/colours etc. would be quite fun :)

Anyways, glad it's on the roadmap! I'll keep an eye on it.
> That tax break is real money.

Sure, but it's real money that your community doesn't get either way.

You're living in a fantasy world if you believe that the choice was legitimately between "Tax money and 25,000 jobs" or "No tax money and 25,000 jobs." No, the choice has always been between "No tax money and 25,000 jobs" or "No tax money and no jobs." You're not getting the tax money either way. Either Amazon builds with subsidies and you get no tax money from them, or they go elsewhere, and you get no tax money from them.

Your decision is really between "Do you want 25,000 jobs, or not?" 25,000 jobs whose incomes that can be taxed. 25,000 jobs that are going to shop at local stores, pay for local gas, pay local rents, raise local property values, and so on.

And that choice is pretty damn clear.
I just really hated the setup. All amazon would repeat was "We're bringing thousands of jobs! Look at all the big projects we promise to do!"

Well why is trusting you to build parks better than just spending your tax money on parks? Why do we need a new indirection in that process?
And still it is used!

Just like it never says anything against stem cell research or homosexuality.

They may have gotten the idea while idling, but it still took work to design and test prototypes. This would obviously be more true for the many more advanced inventions that have come since.

I think you're doing a great job demonstrating why allowing people to expose their horrible ideas does more to dissuade other people than censorship. I'm glad your replies are on display even if I strongly disagree with them.
Where is the benefit? If I wanted $25k in eth, why wouldn't I just buy $25k in eth instead of adding in the extra step of a JPM stablecoin?
Be cautious using this article to try to learn anything. Differentiable programming is not actually related to deep learning; it's another word for automatic differentiation, a technique that is very important in deep learning implementations but useful for a variety of other tasks where having gradients available for arbitrary functions is useful.

The article is correct that "Differentiable Programming" seems to be a rebranding effort that I believe just helped automatic differentiation work from the machine learning world get published in Programming Languages journals. I wouldn't read too much into it.
I like a lot of what was said here.

What I liked a lot was that this was a culture about not wasting time instead of working more. I don't know if the culture shifted to one where everyone works more or one where everyone works while they're at work and meets the goals they set forth in a higher expectation team.

I didn't read all 4 posts but I couldn't see where they talk about working longer but mostly about focusing on being cognizant of what they are working on and how they are working. This is super important on a team. You can love coming to work and being PUSHED to work harder and more efficiently. For some people that's great. I love the competition with myself of getting better at something and I really struggle in an environment where I'm not being pushed.

Anyway it's a good read and while I didn't see anything about working more hours I might have missed it in my scan, so please lemme know if that was in there because I feel like that's a serious mistake for a company. They should push people to work as a better team and individual not longer to make up for a miss on the expectations of management.
At the point you care about backups and standby nodes, you're already sort of outside the cheapo hobby tier.

You are foolish if you believe they did not.
I just don't understand the logic of politicians such as Ocasio-Cortez. Amazon HQ was going to bring 25,000 high paying jobs to the area, providing growth and opportunities for her constituents.

Her argument against is that the Amazon HQ would further gentrification and she was appalled by the government subsidies. So she'd rather limit new growth, prevent new jobs, and stifle wealth to prevent luxury condos and Starbucks from going up? Make no sense, she is literally preventing her constituents from moving up the economic ladder.
Other carriers have some pretty amazing first class products on the A380, with a bar and a shower.
It's temporary. The city was projected to get back $25bn in tax revenue on the deal, and the initial outlay paid back in a few years. Amazon had also agreed to completely redevelop the waterfront of LIC. For the long term, the deal absolutely made sense.
Show HN: My first attempt on a PIXI.js game
After 25 years working I've come to terms with the realization that, no matter what I do - even if it's 10 times more than the people around me - they'll _always_ ask for more. They're not telling me that I'm not working hard enough because they don't actually think I'm not working hard enough, they tell me I'm not working hard enough because they're soulless bloodsuckers incapable of human emotion or empathy who are just idly curious if saying "you're not working hard enough" will magically result in even more.
What do you think are the most interesting types of problems to solve with this?
Hard to put into words except for "it just works". But let me try:

- The CLI / toolbelt is pretty amazing. You can do all sorts of analysis right in your terminal.

- The upgrading/crossgrading is pretty easy to.

- Attaching multiple, different apps is really nicely done.

- Extra, third party, services can tap into the logs and give
you full insight into what the hell is going on.

The experience is really good, because there is no "experience". It gets out of your way and feels really robust and reliable.
Usually 1 job means 1 person-year worth of work. So 6.5 years of a tech worker would usually mean 6.5 jobs.

The jobs also tend to include things like construction workers, etc. So if you hire 500 people to build the place over 2 years that's 1,000 jobs created.
Browning Fever: A story of fandom, literary societies, and impenetrable verse
Quoting Wikipedia: "Several companies have sued the DTCC, without success, over delivery failures in their stocks, alleging culpability for naked short selling. [...] Critics blame DTCC, noting that it is the organization in charge of the system where it happens, alleging that DTCC turns a blind eye to the problem, and complaining that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not taken sufficient action against naked shorting"

Doesn't sound that trustless to me. With a decentralized setup as in Quorum at least everybody can calculate how much they have to trust the miners.

If your company has miners of their own, you are part of the whole system and not just using a third party service.
Don't throw away an idea because someone else has already made it. This is crucial. People completely underestimate the amount of money you can make as a runner-up, or even as a 5th or 10th-place service in some markets. Most of the products I'm involved with have made me quite substantial amounts over the years compared to the minimal time required to upkeep them. There's at least ten companies I can name at an instant that do almost exactly the same, yet I still make money doing the very same thing. Appreciate the invaluable advantage a market-proven idea brings and focus on whatever its target audience lacks or loves most about the most-popular offering. It doesn't mean you have to copy something (where's the fun in that), but consider this if you start working on something and then come across someone who's done the exact same thing with good success. Don't give up, use it.
$10/month really isn't much. Compare to buying music, that's less than two album downloads from Bandcamp at normal prices. For those $10 you get completely unlimited access to all the music in Spotify's library, generated playlists and radios based on your tastes and listening habits.

Honestly, 10$/month is bordering on suspiciously cheap for what you actually get.

It's the same sort of odd psychology when it comes to paying for apps compared to paying for dinner. $2 for an app seems expensive, but $50 for a dinner for two is generally not even questioned.
I keep saying if you spend your day on intellectual work then it’s probably a good idea to do something with your hands in your own time.
Hey, this might be a dumb question, but how is image data stored and accessed? The example shows images, but I wasn't sure where that's being hosted. Google Drive?
These we're existing tax programs.

Regardless of what Amazon does, a for profit company is going to receive those tax breaks. They are available to anyone who meets the qualifications.

So it isn't "handing over" anything that isn't going to be handed over to a company already.
Neural Networks seem to be capable of both too. Although I'm just guessing what do you mean precisely by deduction. Would you agree that solving Sudoku requires deduction?

"Finally, we show how recurrent relational networks can learn to solve Sudoku puzzles from supervised training data, a challenging task requiring upwards of 64 steps of relational reasoning. We achieve state-of-the-art results amongst comparable methods by solving 96.6% of the hardest Sudoku puzzles."

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.08028.pdf

"We present NeuroSAT, a message passing neural network that learns to solve SAT problems after only being trained as a classifier to predict satisfiability. Although it is not competitive with state-of-the-art SAT solvers, NeuroSAT can solve problems that are substantially larger and more difficult than it ever saw during training by simply running for more iterations. Moreover, NeuroSAT generalizes to novel distributions; after training only on random SAT problems, at test time it can solve SAT problems encoding graph coloring, clique detection, dominating set, and vertex cover problems, all on a range of distributions over small random graphs."

Tax abatements like this are a serious antitrust issue as well. Smaller competitors don't have the political clout to get tax breaks like this, will have to pay more, will pass those costs onto customers, and won't be as competitive.
The fact that people were burnt alive says more about the people in power than about any text. Certain people in power will always find ways to persecute people that disagree with them. See also, the French Revolution, Bolshevik Revolution, Mao's Great Leap, and many other sad episodes where nasty people achieved power.

There is no motivation in the teachings of Christ to burn people alive. Quite the contrary.
This is definitely a real problem for some people - a chess organizer friend of mine recently spent 4-5 hours entering games from a scoresheet into the computer every night. This solution is pretty nice - but it is possible to imagine that such a solution might work directly on horribly written scoresheets, using handwriting recognition + the kind of constraints mentioned by indy7500 - that would be pretty amazing from both a technical, and usefulness, standpoint.
IIRC, you just need a commit different in order to open a PR with github. To make an empty commit:

This tech can easily be used to flood humanity’s shared brain with auto-generated propaganda. Schizophrenia of the internet in a way. There is plenty of incentive with Google algorithms favoring number of words and relevant keywords in content for rankings - you could have NLP bots lifting junk sites to top results.

To step ahead in that chess game, a detection tool for fake would be just training grounds for better GAN. Instead we may see a certifying authority that labels content as human generated, certified fact maybe? Wikipedia and reddit are not safe without fast automatic moderation either.

Do you have a brainstorm or idea/prototype submission site where people can submit approaches to countering bad ai actors? An white/grey hat ai bounty program of sorts?
This is the best way to describe what they do.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure any such tax breaks would have to be public data by now, even if they were originally hashed out behind closed doors.

If you're implying that Google got tax breaks, and no one noticed the public data confirming these tax breaks, please provide evidence of the data that has been overlooked.
This will be helpful for the cultural clash that can sometimes happen when a new contributor tries to do something like this and the maintainers expect all PRs to be immediately merge-worthy.

Average $160,000 household income per employee = ~$14,000 per year in state + local income taxes. That's ~$8,500 per year just to the state in income taxes.

Include all taxes from 25,000 employees + their families (property taxes, sales taxes, etc), and it's a very likely $4.5 to $5 billion over ten years to state & local coffers from the employees.

And that's just the direct benefits. It excludes any taxes Amazon corporate would pay, such as property taxes on any real-estate they buy over that ten years. It also ignores the potential for additional expansion in that ten years (Amazon will more than double in size over that time, to half a trillion dollars plus in sales, I'd bet on more than 25k employees).

It would have easily paid for itself, which was actually never in dispute. People didn't like it regardless of the fact that it would have paid for itself. They disliked the idea of giving Amazon anything.
I just realized that if I could use the glasses for music seeking, or various podcast control, I'd probably buy those. That's the number one reason I look at my phone too, as the reviewer said.

That said, I'm horrified by the fact that my texts would be send to North's servers. This seems like another privacy breach just waiting to happen.

I've run in to places that wanted to pull "all your intellectual property belong to us", but I don't really think they really wanted this. I think they just want the right of first refusal. If I developed something illegal, then said "well... my employer owns it technically because I did this during working hours" they definitely would try to wriggle out of that IP.

10 milliKelvin is the temperature range that allows the usage of commercial RF equipment in the ~5GHz range to control the qubits.

The relationship between the two is essentially Energy = k_B * temp = h * freq, where k_B is the Boltzmann constant and h is Planck's constant.

If the temperature was higher than 10 milliKelvin, then thermal fluctuations could have comparable energy to your control signals and thus cause unintended electronic state transitions.
Rail Roads called roads for a reason. Some paved roads are heavily used and some are not. Same for rail. But you are right that $/mi rail roads are more expensive than paved roads.

I was contacted by a Cupertino recently that wanted to interview me. I knew their product and have used it before, but I ended up turning it down.

I was torn because I'd like to live in warmer climates and the area around The Bay has some great public transport (although it's lacking when you get out towards Cupertino) and I could be closer to the parts of my family I get along with, but the cost of living is just insane. I feel like I'd just move there to get a tiny as I can share-room and save up for 3 ~ 4 years with no plans to stay (unless the bottom of the market collapses an suddenly houses drop to $150k .. which I don't see happening unless Facebook implodes).
No it didn't. The vast majority of those incentives were on the table for Amazon, or anyone else, without the theatrics.
That's maybe because some believe that technical skills is the premiere quality of a technical worker.

Empathy is maybe one of the most important skill for therapist.

Maybe some developers believe that this Empathy guy is another one of these HR/Agil/Scrum Consultant making big money telling others how they should feel better and be happier in an one hour session in a big hall to tick of a check box in the employee education program when their main concern might be parking space in the morning, some hard task at work or forced attrition etc.
If your dream is to be a "startup" (meaning it scales because of millions of VC funding despite the lack of any sort of plan as to how to make a profit) then yes, small business software sucks.

If your dream is to make millions through a sustainable enterprise, then small business software is awesome.

My only important personal goal this year is to spend 500 hours working on personal goals. Pretty conservative pace (1 hour on 4 weekdays and 6 hours on the weekend), but sticking to anything consistently for an entire year would be a huge personal achievement.
Is anyone else troubled by them not releasing the source model/dataset/parameters here? Yes, the technology can be used for malicious means - but would argue that "DeepFaking" language is FAR less of a problem than "DeepFaking" video/photo/audio... which already occurs. Seems like they went back on their charter to share AI developments broadly ("not concentrate power") under the excuse of "safety."

"Incorporate this however you’d like, either as some future value bonus or future discount factor risk, but the mood of the masses must to be included. And with that, what might be a good investment opportunity in isolation, isn’t."

The paragraph above is the final conclusion of the post. It strikes me this is largely a restatement the following words of wisdom attributed to the economist John Maynard Keynes: The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

In some ways this is similar to being way too early with a technical innovation. The lack of traction or uptake in the market can last longer than your runway. I've been there.
I think there is also a C) You might just be lucky when the other guys weren't. Sometimes, luck is as much a factor as hard work.
I hadn't read it before! That's a fascinating result, actually. They emphasize interpretability in the paper, but I find it more interesting that you can do so well with only local information.

My first thought is that it makes sense that averaging together a bunch of local predictions would work well on the ImageNet task, since the different classes tend to have obviously different local textures, and class-relevant information makes up a large part of the image. I would be very curious to see if the technique is as competitive for other tasks.
