The answer to that question depends heavily on the duration and nature of your planning iterations.

If you're doing quarterly planning, the difference between half a day and a couple a days is meaningless, and there's not really any point in distinguishing among them.

If you're doing 1-week sprints, the difference between half a day and a couple days is enormous, and the product planner might get some value out of distinguishing among them.

If you're following a more kanban-y approach, the difference is perhaps meaningful, but not particularly actionable, so I think I (personally) still wouldn't bother to capture the distinction for planning purposes.
It's a contributor to funding sure, but that's not what I asked.

The issue is, would a random person off the street be able to take VC seed money and turn it into a billion dollar business? The answer is obviously no. And they definitely wouldn't be able to do it twice.
TV is pretty much in the same state on Netflix (AU at least). Search for a show and chances are it isn't there, even if it has been in the DVD bargain bin for years. Other shows disappearing (say, Downton Abbey, which was taken off just as my mother in law got to season 5). Lots of new shows a season behind, lots of newish shows never arrive.
There's a line between puff-up marketing and being actively misleading and OpenAI continually crosses it.

With only 25 heroes allowed (of > 100) they were unable to get >5k MMR...nowhere near pro level. What are they at with the full hero pool? 3k?

I'm not trying to cast aspersions on their AI work - it's obviously an incredibly hard problem. But instead of admitting that they failed to make a competitive team, they instead play a stripped down game that's easy for their bots' limited strategies, and then publish triumphant marketing releases claiming mission accomplished.
Off-hand, I don't know how it handles higher-order functions. It analyzes LLVM IR, not the source directly, so I guess it depends on how virtual methods are represented in LLVM IR and whether those instructions are supported or ignored by the tool.

The tool doesn't claim to handle everything, and doesn't claim to be complete. You can absolutely write code that it can't analyze because it's either too complicated or you're using unsupported language features. If you want your code to be analyzable, then you have to write it that way. The tool isn't magic.

Don't you think it's an over-statement to say that it can't handle real-world code if it doesn't support higher-order functions? Not all C++ code uses virtual methods, and C doesn't even have this feature in the language.
Keep in mind that Panic has been a Mac-only shop since the early days of the platform, before OS X, back when Apple was viewed as a beleaguered company and Microsoft's dominance of computing was unquestioned.

If they stuck with Apple through all that, I can't see why they'd be worried now.
It's not what I said but it's fairly obvious that money is like steroids. You can't turn a donkey into a race horse but any semi-competent person can be successful with enough cash injection and network to get good advice.
It seems to work just fine here in Finland, it is a very common alternative to wired home connections (seems to be about 50-50 split: https://www.ficom.fi/ict-ala/tilastot/kotitalouksien-laajaka...).

No data caps, so you can use terabytes of data without throttling if you want to.
I've seen the same thing. The perception is that the reward doesn't match the amount of effort required, and/or that the programs offered aren't going to do much for serious preexisting health issues (may or may not be true). And people who already like to exercise and like fitness aren't going to be motivated by what they might view as "newbie" programs.

And then you get into the tangled mess of workplace interpersonal interactions and privacy issues. Does anyone want to spend even more time with their coworkers, if the program is hosted on premises? Does HR need to know that Employee #4752 wants to lose 10 pounds? Or that a different employee wants a stress reduction class?

I like the idea mentioned elsewhere in the comments re: giving people a discount or other reward for proven gym attendance. That's easy enough. In my case, I'd be going to the gym, anyway, link my gym barcode to the plan and it's a done deal.
Yes, though in the use case here, the party linking to the content has already read the content anyway by crawling it. This would be true if your entire session were delivered this way, but instead it's only the first click from a page linking to the signed exchange URL. The party linking also already knows the user's IP, knows what URL the user is going to, and can know the content. There is no loss of privacy.
I'll just say this:

As someone who’s worked on both coasts I can definitely attest to seeing Macs dominate. When I taught at a university I always fretted about making a Windows version of my keyboard-shortcuts/install process guides until the first day and invariably just 1 out of 20 students would be on a non-Mac.

But that’s not the way it is everywhere (was just at a Chicago hack night). And Windows is not only still the dominant base, but Microsoft’s direction is more trending toward in favor of everyday developers than Apple’s.

It’s not just a matter of market viability, but having enough of a user base to create and perpetuate a good ecosystem (e.g. plugin development) around the app.
Here's an email I sent to my city councilperson on 2017-12-01. It contains information that refutes your claim. I received no response:

Dear Aaron Peskin,
I live in Supervisorial District 3, at ... . You represent me and my neighbors in your position on the SF Board of Supervisors. Your work is very important. I have lived in SF for 6 years and have seen the housing market get more and more expensive while the city's businesses have grown. Economically, the city is prospering and adding many jobs which bring workers to the city every day. Unfortunately, the city has not added enough housing for these people. Here are the numbers:

- In 2011, SF jobs increased 2% (see [1] page 5) and housing increased 0.07% (see [6] page 4).

- In 2012, SF jobs increased 5% (see [2] page 5) and housing increased 0.4% (see [7] page 4).

- In 2013, SF jobs increased 5% (see [3] page 5) and housing increased 0.9% (see [8] page 4).

- In 2014, SF jobs increased 5% (see [4] page 5) and housing increased 1% (see [9] page 5).

- In 2015, SF jobs increased 5% (see [5] page 5) and housing increased 1% (see [10] page 5).

The 2016 reports should appear at [11] when they are available.

I took Econ 101 in college and learned about the Law of Supply and Demand. It's clear to me that SF's housing crisis is caused by demand growing much faster than supply. The city has enacted many policies and programs to boost the economy, creating more jobs. It has not done enough to make places for all of those workers to live. It's an imbalance of epic proportions.

Fixing this situation is the responsibility of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. You are our elected member of the board. Please tell me what you are doing to increase the housing supply.

Sincerely,
Michael

I was making slides to discuss this model in my deep learning class tomorrow. From what I can find on the model, it isn't that complex -- https://d4mucfpksywv.cloudfront.net/research-covers/openai-f....

The real trick seems to be just massive amounts of self-play. This model had the human equivalent of 45,000 years of experience playing DOTA 2, with 250 years of experience per day.

When I was in grad school I used to give talks to students about avoiding MLM schemes.

Later, after having invented and patented a product, I came to the sobering realization that the majority of my revenue was coming from MLM companies.

I released the IP to the public domain and shut down the company.

Nalanda, (and Vikramashila, Odantapura etc.) were Buddhist vihars (monasteries) which have been retconned into “universities” in modern times. Mind you the Western university grew out of Catholic Church institutions so it is not completely far-fetched but there is a lot of wishful thinking involved.

Far from letting anyone lecture, an important office in those places was the dvarapala (“gatekeeper”) This was a senior scholar whose job was to examine applicants and only those who passed his tests were allowed inside.

This, and in particular, the network has much higher _latency_ over mobile. AMP is aggressive about reducing the number of round trips between browser and server.
I think the concern around crispr enhancement is a positional arms race. Maybe some enhancement is safe, but once the option is available, people will go to extremes to get ahead. You can say otherwise, but I saw adderalls passed around before tests and SATs when in school; I'd say that's the same idea.

Oh, you think we can just have the government establish a safe and sensible limit? Right, because that's worked in the past.

Thanks for writing one of the most enjoyable programming books out there.
So... I've been programming in R for over 20 years. I've been ready for an alternative for performance reasons for about half that time. Julia seems like a promising alternative, that I wish I could use all the time instead of R but it's just not there; I'd prefer Nim most of all but that's even less well-resourced in terms of libraries. Maybe a zero-cost abstracted offshoot of Rust will eventually come to have a role? Who knows.

R, like Python, has far outgrown its initial scope. I don't think it was initially envisioned to be used the way it is today. But both have been kept in use as costumes for C/C++.

One of the things I've noticed the most in the last 20 years, to your point, is that the language used to be a lot more straightforward and simpler, more predictable. Over the years a lot has been added in a sort of haphazard way, and as a result today you have this kind of Frankenstein language that isn't what it started with.

As for data structures, though, I don't really see R as being that different from other languages. Many of them are the same as in other languages, but just have different names (and I do wish they used similar terminology). Others have been taken up in other languages as people have come to appreciate their utility.

Being a wrapper for C/C++ can only go so far. Eventually you have to write in R (or Python) and the speed shows, if you have enough data to deal with.
depends what you mean. If you think of it as a "replacement" of another launch they could have sold, then yes, it's the same cost. Lost profit opportunity is lost profit is a cost.

But if it means they can increase the # of rockets they build, they might pick up some efficiency gains on the back stretch. I'm pretty sure they're already struggling to keep up with demand, tho.

Yes, that's fair. I meant more in terms of ceding control...that's a prerequisite for AMP, and always has been.
Hey Dr Barski. I'm actually reading your book right now. I do have a question. How do you write Lisp effectively? And by that I mean, Lisp seems to be written from the inside out due to the nested lists. Is there something that makes it more natural to write:
(trim-string (get-string '(some data)))
Or do you need to know that you're going to call trim before you get the string? Hope that makes sense.
Let’s hope AMP, like most google products, is shut down within the next 2-3 years
This seems to be a common occurence whenever new AI achievements pop up. A lot of "now that we've beaten xy" comments were also uttered around the starcraft match for example, but from the one game that was played without giving the AI a camera advantage it was clear that the play was still subpar.

The industry and researchers in particular should really be more careful with their claims, and honestly also try way harder to actually completely solve the challenges in question.
Correct. I mistakenly said author, and was referring dalbasal’s comment.

My point was that people (on both sides of this issue) do mistake fact checking with agenda when it comes to religion because of the polarizing nature of the topic.
> literally nobody wants it

> as 50% of their web traffic through AMP

Who, precisely, is forcing publishers to use AMP?
1. High speed internet available to anyone on Earth.

2. Communication for Tesla vehicles which I think is currently dependent on cell networks.

3. Communication network for humanity on Mars.
AMP is like Brussels Sprouts. If it's forced on you when you are young, you will grow up hating it.
Not if the opportunity is to be ahead of your rivals to a new market frontier and guarantee a head start
Why not? Unity already supports WebAssembly. And WASM executes nearly as fast as machine code.
Well, for one thing, internet speed depends on the quality of your connection, which in the case of mobile networks varies wildly.

But personally, I’m a sucker for low latency across all of tech (and gaming as well). That’s why I use Safari instead of Chrome, Terminal.app instead of iTerm, C++ instead of Rust sometimes (compile times), and basically anything else instead of Java (startup time), among other preferences. I even prefer reading ebooks on normal screens rather than e-ink displays, simply because I don’t want to wait between pressing “next page” and seeing the page show up. Not surprisingly, then, I really appreciate website snappiness in general, including links that load instantly due to prefetching. I can’t say I appreciate AMP as it exists today, because the quick load comes with a host of UX issues, but I have hope for the future.

Take that perspective how you will. I think I’m a bit of an outlier in just how much latency bothers me, but pretty much everyone consciously or subconsciously appreciates when it goes down. Probably including you: the current speed might seem “fast enough” now, but if faster loading becomes the norm and the other issues are dealt with, I bet you’d have a hard time going back.

I consider Dunkin Donuts a coffee shop, which drastically changes this picture.
Looks like this is responded by Raghavan and this is what I had seen on research gate comments

Dr. Kumar's response to the above:
I certainly know that the lambda - sequence is fixed and unalterable because each lambda(n) is obtained by factorizing n into prime factors and then defining lambda(n)=+1 if there are even factors else, lambda(n) =-1 if n is a prime or has odd prime factors.

In the paper for very long sequences, the lambda-sequence is treated as one instance of a hypothetical random walk. If this analogy is true then the magnitude of L(N), which is the sum of the first N terms of lambda(n)’s, (where N is very large) can be likened to the expected distance travelled by a random walker in N steps which is given by C .N^(1/2) (see S. Chandrasekhar(1943)).

However, for this analogy to be really meaningful and accurate, one must prove the lambda(n), for large and arbitrary n, must satisfy the criteria: (i) equal probabilities of being +1 or -1 , (ii) the lambda-sequence has no cycle and (iii) unpredictability.

In the paper I provide mathematical proofs for all the above criteria, after which one can deduce the asymptotic expression for L(N) as C. N^(1/2+e). We then invoke (i) Littlewoods Theorem 1 (proved in the paper) and then (ii) use Khinchin (1924) and Kolmogorov’s (1929) law of the iterated logarithm, for evaluating the bound ‘e’ and to show that e tends to zero as N tends to infinity, thus finally proving R.H.

One last comment: Herrington quotes Borwein’s statement as an “Equivalence to RH”, in actuality the condition stated by Borwein (2008) is only a necessary condition for RH to be true. The additional criteria (above) needs to be satisfied and hence need to be proved as done in my paper.
This doesn't mean anything though, they all crap out rfcs whenever they have a new feature to push. And they all usually agree with what each other pushes, but even if they don't, the browsers will just forge ahead however they want. Standards are diplomatic cover.
Issues and PRs are the same thing in GitHub internals, and the RFC number is the PR number. There haven’t been 2000 accepted PRs :)
> if neutron's are of the opposite sign, is this what keeps the electrons repelled enough stay on the "outside" in orbit?

No, but it does affect which spin states of nuclei have the lowest energy. For example, the ground state (lowest energy state) of a deuterium nucleus has spin 1--spin of the proton and neutron are parallel--because the opposite signs of the proton and neutron magnetic moments make that state have a lower energy (more tightly bound).

When did this happen? I can access the channel from India. Was it something that was temporary?

(I do want to support individual producers over corporate houses, but the whole PewDiePie vs. T-Series has a lot of racist and xenophobic overtones. This is what seems strange. Not all Indians like the T-Series brand, which has stood for cheap mass-market music and terrible quality cassettes once upon a time, but when the brand is vilified for being Indian in the comments sections, I feel revulsion towards the commenters.)

Hi there happy to share that Automunge has just rolled out the new version 1.78 with some really neat new features, including:

- feature importance evaluation

- choices between manual and automated selection of processing functions

- choices between manual and automated selection of infill functions

If you are a data scientist or work with tabular data for machine learning I guarantee you will find this useful!
Why’s Poignant Guide To Ruby is also in this vein, though a bit weirder.
Yep. My employer lowers my premium and awards us with Amazon gift cards if we earn a certain amount of points each year. You earn points by completing a full blood test, visiting the dentist, etc. It's a significant enough amount that everyone is motivated to do it.
Not too bad really. This code is so old I doubt anyone really knows how to work with it properly or get it running on a modern machine. Only good for curiosity

True! I suppose what I actually want is a Windows utility that can make a .tar.zst archive, ideally from a GUI.

In the Windows world, archiving and compression are usually in a single file type (.zip, .rar, .7z). Zstd follows the unix style where it can't directly compress folders of files, they need to be in a tar (or other archive format) first. This isn't really an issue on Linux, since Zstd support is built into tar, which ships on pretty much every system.
> If the photons were a conscious subject

They can't be. You can't make a conscious subject out of something that has zero mass and moves at the speed of light, and therefore does not have a well-defined concept of "time passing".

> if no time is passing for them, doesn't that mean no space is being traversed either?

It is not the case that no time is passing for a photon. What is the case is that the concept of "time passing for a photon" is not well-defined. That concept not being well-defined means that "space being traversed for a photon" is not well-defined either. That does not mean "no space is being traversed". It means the concept of "space being traversed for a photon" is not well-defined.

I'm still kind of disappointed with how much hubbub came out of these games. I watched most of them and it just in general felt like mediocre dota even against the pro team. I'm not saying I am amazing but I wish this article came out sooner to kind of put a reasonable contrast in the stuff that was coming out. While I enjoyed the idea of the drafting phase it is hard to not look at the hero pool available and see only two or three reasonable lineups (both of OG's lineups trying to take advantage of invis heroes were both weak in general in the current version), and I think the shown drafts display that. It's hard not to feel like that OpenAI solved the problem of that limited hero pool and ended up with a superior team to humans who weren't familiar with that version of the game.

I don't think that's a wrong outcome, but people trying to frame it that OpenAI beat OG at their own game in the same lines as go, chess, or checkers seems misleading. I think I am just still feeling sensitive to the sentiments and outcome that ended up being the outcome of systems which got on the press pipeline like watson. I wish it was more celebrating how they were able to create this ensemble learning environment, so I'm hoping for that more detailed analysis especially how they were able to adapt (and hopefully not throw away) the learning they did after some of the really large patches.
> One way to think of it might be from the photon's frame of reference its entire path has become infinitely short so it had no distance to travel at all.

No, that is not a correct way to think of it. See my other responses to the poster you responded to.
Don't forget that SpaceX was born out of Musk's failed attempt to buy ICBMs from Russia in order to land a small greenhouse on Mars.
