Sorry about that, I should have not missed it. Since you're here, I'll ask a quick question to satisfy my curiosity. This is a pretty big step, even just looking at the benchmarks. Where do you see text generation going in 5 years? What about 10 years? As I said, no need to give long explanations, I just want to know what do you expect, as an insider,on an intuitive level.
I believe my issue is different.

This is very interesting and timely to my work, I had been struggling with training a Mobilenet CNN for classification of human emotions ("in the wild"), and struggling to get the model to converge. I tried multiclass to binary models e.g. angry|not_angry etc. But couldn't get past the 60-70% accuracy range.

I switched to extracting features from Imagenet and trained an xgboost binary and boom...right out of the box am seeing ~88% accuracy.

Also the author's points about speed of training and flexibility is major plus for my work. Hope this helps others.
Is it also appropriate to "call out" attorneys and legal firms that defend defendants accused of unconscionable crimes (think Boston Marathon bomber)?

Attorneys are to help their represented either to make whole, or defend against the state. If they are truly acting in an unethical stance, then they need tried by the state board. If they were acting unethically, then perhaps their license should be revoked. But these ethics should apply to all lawyers, and not because they chose an 'unsavory' client.
The phase of the life issue is touched upon in the link. It discusses how the accelerated kids are often happy because they have new peers who have similar interests. It's a difficult issue to solve. A 7-year-old who is 4 years ahead of his age group peers has little in common with his peer group but is very much younger than 11-year-olds.

The study in the link appears to indicate that the accelerated kids ended up happier and more fulfilled as adults. I think that's a very good argument for acceleration.

A "tax break" is just a reduction in taxes that otherwise wouldn't be paid at all. It still means a profit for the city.

It's not like NYC is paying Amazon to come to NYC. NYC would still make huge tax revenues from additional sales, real estate, income taxes, and corporate taxes.

Now they're turning that all away. It's such an irrational decision that if I were Amazon, it would raise a big red flag for me as well.

EEtimes 2002 "Infiniband on the Verge of Broad Adoption" whoops :-)

But more seriously, I think having a license free CPU core with software support is a huge win, it will enable people like TSMC and GF to make 'jelly bean' CPUs that can be low cost and high volume. But they won't be that much different than the low end ARM cpus which are basically the cost of packaging these days anyway.

The market forces in a 14nm (last year's process node) world are pretty interesting. 90% of the cost is the dicing, testing, and packaging the parts.

So the other market force is the Western Digitals of the world who will make RISC-V embedded SOCs with exactly the right set of peripherals they need to make a billion disk drive motor controllers. But most people won't see those chips in the marketplace. And there probably won't be a 'design to order' chip house that will make small volumes of these things.

Imagine you are a Microchip or a ST Micro, what does RISC-V do for you? It lets you avoid the few cents you pay for the ARM license per chip, does it let you differentiate any more? Look how well that worked out for the AtMega16 for Atmel.

So that is the embedded market, kind of a wash.

But what about "bigger" systems? Laptops or desktops or servers? Do the pareto analysis on those systems, compare an ARM SoC to a RISC-V one. The costs are in memory, support chips, PCBs, tooling etc. Not the CPU license.

Will it let people build chips for phones like Apple does with their own GPUs and microarchitecture? Sure, and at less cost, but what then does that give the average consumer? A cheaper phone with market features? Ok that's a win but they won't care it is RISC-V versus ARM v8 or what not.

Bottom line is that I think it is great to have the ability to create computers that are not beholden to a certain vendor but I don't see the vector for getting them into general distribution where consumers actually benefit from the change.

> Amazon paid zero federal tax for the last two years running

Not paying Federal income tax isn't paying no taxes. Also, the "zero federal tax" meme is popular among the Bernie Sanders crowd, however, much of Amazon's credits were due to paying stock-based compensation. In 2017, they paid out almost a billion dollars in stock compensation -- compensation for which recipients are taxed -- and taxed at a higher rate than the equivalent funds would have been taxed if retained by the company since such compensation is taxed as ordinary income -- not only are federal income taxes due, but also social security and medicare taxes. The point is that $917 million in stock compensation was written off against Amazon's income, but that $917m likely yields roughly $250 million in federal tax revenue , while if that were taxed as company income, it would yield roughly $110m given the historical effective tax rate paid by Amazon.

Essentially this: If Amazon didn't exist, the US government would be far worse off in terms of tax revenues, despite Amazon paying "zero" taxes. An intelligent view of the situation wouldn't look at "federal taxes paid" by the entity of Amazon, but their total tax revenue impact on the United States government -- including their state and local, and taxes paid by their employees. If you wanted to be more intellectually honest about Amazon and taxes, you'd also include the tax impact of everyone that profits as a result of Amazon. There's also the impact at the consumer level -- the price of products is the sum of all of the inputs used to produce, market and deliver that product. If you raise the price of any of those inputs, prices necessarily increase. Let's say we increase the taxes of Amazon -- that means that their "Hefty Garbage Bags" are now selling for more money, but that also means that competitors selling Hefty Garbage Bags can also raise their prices. Essentially corporate taxes have the same market-wide effect as a tariff -- raising prices for everyone. Who gets harmed most by higher prices for consumer goods? It isn't the "rich." It's the poor and middle class. Lower prices for goods helps the economy far more than the equivalent amount collected in taxes due to deadweight loses.
I think there can be a balance. Even compared to when I grew up in the 70s everything seems more accelerated now to the point of overwhelming. I think we can have progress without going crazy.
>The secret is to go out and make friends who work in different industries that are totally unrelated to your experience.

Great advice, my SO works outdoors doing field studies and the amount of shit they talk about doing manually is astounding. They pay people (or sometimes unpaid interns) to go through hours of videos documenting everything they see! Almost all cataloging and measurements are done with little to no technology. Another example; I volunteer for a program that does some human intake and processing, before I got there everyone used a series of paper forms that got updated by work of mouth. Now? Google Spreadsheets.

There's hundreds of industries, organizations, and groups that do extremely manual labor intensive work because it hasn't even occurred to them it can be automated or turned in to a service, but you'll never meet them if you hang around tech people all the time because the solution is always on their mind.
The last time I was job hunting (in Texas), I brought a copy of California Labor Code section 2870 with me and made it clear that this needed to be part of my employment contract.

If job hunting isn't realistic for you, at the very least you should have a serious conversation with your boss. The next time you are up for a promotion or a raise, hand them a copy of 2870 and say "that's nice, but this is what I really want".

Print it out. Bring it up in your 1-on-1's. At the very least, make sure your boss isn't surprised as to the reason why you eventually jump ship.

Just use that GPU power to generate rainbowtables once which then can use the space/time tradeoff to perpetually find passwords in seconds without a GPU. Bruteforcing one hash at a time is pointlessly wasteful if you have the storage.
It is also plausible that because google analytics runs on so many sites that they could do something shady like put you in a pester segment if they see you coming from duckduckgo to other sites frequently. It is not hard to imaging using Recaptcha as a nuisance against other search traffic providers.
If your power bill is not expensive enough for your taste learn to weld. Make sure you go gas-less, plasma and carbon arc for cutting, stick and flux core for welding. If that's still not enough start casting things. These hobbies also have the side effect of being great for one-upping your coworkers who do 3d printing.
so they give up 3B and get 30B in return?
>That tax break is real money. Money that your community will not be able to spend on education, infrastructure, police, parks,

You run a store. You put up a sign offering a 50% discount. I walk in the store and you tell me there is no discount. I walk out. Guess what? You didn't get any money and I didn't get anything out of the deal.

Amazon backing out of HQ2 doesn't mean you get to keep the money. You never had the money.

No, it wouldn't. For the same reason that me operating a coal power plant in my backyard wouldn't provide me with cheaper electricity then just buying from the grid.

A centralized utility, even a poorly run one, will always provide electricity safer, cheaper, and more consistently then thousands of tiny private installations.
I agree with your first paragraph, but I really, really have to ask you: don't you consider the threat of being burned for all eternity, postulated by Jesus himself as a punishment for not believing not enough motivation?
"For example, a $3m brownstone in Park Slope I saw had ~$700/month in property taxes"

Surely that's a typo. At a tax rate of $10 per $1000, that would to be $2500/month.
I'm a programmer and as I told my auto mechanic, my job and his job are incredibly similar most of the time: take the thing, use experience and references to figure out why the thing isn't working, then use tools and resources to make it less broken, and spend a lot of time complaining about the quality of the work done on the thing before you got access to it.

Tax breaks are just a temporary discount on taxes that otherwise would be paid at all.

It's not like Amazon was getting CASH to move to NYC.
Apple and Google Urged to Dump Saudi App That Lets Men Track Women
I disagree. Amazon does not have as many choices as it would seem from the outset. Perhaps NYC is no longer going to get an HQ2 with 25k jobs, but Amazon will be expanding there regardless of subsidies.

The talent required is not evenly spread throughout the cities that bid on HQ2, and a world-class city like NYC does not need Amazon as much as Amazon needs them.

I appreciate your concern but I've been doing this for years and it works for me. I have been looking at my options for when it doesn't, though.
but with the internet and all the modern technology, should such an important decision be centralized like this at all?
It's not proper in that it is not properly signed. Gatekeeper complains that it cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

What kind of security risk is this for me?
Question: What does everybody think this might mean for the Crystal City VA area (i.e. the DMV)? The article said they plan to continue on as planned.

Does anybody think that Amazon pulling out of NYC will make their impact on the DMV greater or would it probably be the same as if they had HQ2's both places?
>In this case, the law firm is the patent troll.

That seems more common, as does law firms who operate as bill collectors.
Optical materials of all kinds are vulnerable to darkening, clouding, and embrittlement by much lower levels of ionizing radiation than those in the reactor [1]. Darkening along the length of an optical fiber adds up quick, and will quickly render it opaque. Shielding won't help you at these radiation levels; you would need inches of lead cladding [2], and even then your fiber optics might not have a useful lifespan, exposed to at least tens of Sv/h along much of the length. And shielding offers nearly zero protection against neutron radiation.

Also note that the radiation in the reactor can heat the internal elements of your perisccope by hundreds of degrees, so without a cooling system your optical system's tolerances are at risk. Remember to make everything waterproof, and robust against shock and vibration.

After you figure all that out, you still need to get your periscope into the reactor somehow. Humans can't go closer than about a kilometer, and any robot you use must be able to navigate industrial wreckage.

These are not simple problems.

Take Columbus, one of the other contenders for Amazon's bachelor-like charade, with 850,000 people living there. 25k jobs would have been a bigger deal. If you compare 25k jobs to NYC's population of over 8 million, it would be proportional to adding ~2.5k jobs to Columbus, not all of which are tech workers making 6 figures. It's a drop in the bucket for NYC, especially considering Amazon already has thousands of workers in NY and will likely reach that 25k figure in time without needing billions in concessions.
One of my previous teams used to do something similar, but the initial PR would be for a change to the docs for the project. Would be great, because the docs would be updated to reflect any new changes automatically.
This is not a zero sum game.
It's absolutely just a buzzword. A blockchain is just a data structure which is useful in Nakamoto Consensus, which is only for censorship resistance.

Everything a cryptocurrency can do be done much more efficiently, faster, cheaper, safer, better UX, etc, except for censorship resistance. If you don't want your coin/token to be censorship resistant then you can have a system that's a million times better by just building a web app that uses regular cryptography.
You could easily argue it put Kansas City on the map.

Kansas City is at least a well known name in the tech world now, when there's plenty of other midwest cities of similar size that rarely get brought up.

Millions would be a steal for the revenue becoming a tech hub would bring in. Even if it does take a more than a decade to be realized.
Why not have everyone create their PRs against a feature branch instead of master, and merge the feature branch into master when the project is done?

yep, yep, yep. precisely.
So you really think Amazon was only going to hire people that already had wealth. It's not possible that somebody making $50k a year, could land a great new position at Amazon making $150k?

Well at this point I don't think we're going to agree on much. I see all of the literally unsubstantiated claims in the report as cause for suspicion and you don't. I don't think there's anything that's going to convince you of its shaky foundations. Do remember that only buzzfeed reported this though. No other major news source was comfortable with its unsubstantiated nature. Again from wikipedia:

BuzzFeed was harshly criticized by several mainstream media outlets for releasing the dossier without verifying its allegations.[6][7] Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan called it "scurrilous allegations dressed up as an intelligence report meant to damage Donald Trump,"[85] while The New York Times noted that the publication sparked a debate centering on the use of unsubstantiated information from anonymous sources.[86] BuzzFeed's executive staff said the materials were newsworthy because they were "in wide circulation at the highest levels of American government and media" and argued that this justified public release.[87] The dossier's publication by BuzzFeed has always been defended by Jack Shafer, Politico's senior media writer, as well as by Richard Tofel of ProPublica and the Columbia Journalism Review. Shafer defended the public's right to know about the allegations against Trump, and saw a parallel in Judge Ungaro's ruling in the defamation suit filed by Aleksej Gubarev.[8]

The author thinks that randomness is just a simplification: no, it is the statement of lack of information about the future.

Random (in markets) does not mean “following a uniform distribution”. It means modelled by a random variable (which is a technical term).
I don't think it's the work "crypto" that helps people skirt regulations. It's the anonymous, permisionless consensus coordination that does. JP Morgan's coin won't have that property, they're just signing off on transactions themselves.
I’m going to try to distill this down to it’s easiest form.

- JPMC will now create a digital signature (token) for every dollar that enters its network.

- Those digital signatures can be exchanged by any trusted authority

- JPMC will exchange a single dollar to those trusted authorities for a single digital signature

Using the blockchain allows JPMC to trust each dollar that goes through both their network and partner networks as they cryptographically trust that forgery is almost impossible. They also can trust that when a “wire” comes in that the funds are actually available.

This is purely an accounting system backed by cryptography that allows much more trust.
Not sure if you were just being cheeky, but this is pretty much exactly what GCP's AutoML offerings are.
Do you mean link multiple PRs across multiple repos? You can already merge multiple commits together in the same PR, in a single repo, of course. via branches.

If so, this can't be done within git, since the overall container is a single repo.[1] There is no atomicity or even coordination between repos. You can get loose coordination though via integration with an issue tracker like jira. The tracker links multiple PRs across multiple repos into a single meta-merge. But you aren't going to get "simultaneous merge" in the sense of a single atomic cross-PR and cross-repo commit.

[1] One of the things that is awful with github [not git itself], is that all your controls such as commit rules, privileges, visibility, have the granularity of the entire repo. Even though awful, this is the right approach considering that many git restrictions are per-repo, eg branches. vs perforce, eg
Ass and umption.
It's almost like there is a demand for Amazon to have a presence in the community.

Does this in any way address the issue of coin theft / key loss?

For instance, can I keep these coins on deposit with JPM, grant them access to my keys, conduct all the transactions through JPM's more traditional security infrastructure, and be assured JPM will make me whole if something bad happens I did not authorize, with a transparent and fair arbitration methodology.

Or does this invalidate the whole purpose of crypto-coin?
Having the rest of my life ahead of me is a great feeling. I'm still only 33 and I already see people my age that appear to have given up on living their best life. I feel what makes the 20's great for most is that they have the energy and motivation to live their life but they enter a rut once adulthood is fully under way.
People are more likely to comment when they disagree, so that's not surprising. The votes show the opposite, though both votes and comments are mixed.

Moderators have to make these calls. From my perspective this is no different from what we've done thousands of times.
