It's not just giving you a transient notification with the agent gets a request. I'd go several steps further:

1) clearly display what "local" machine is making the connection, under what user

2) clearly display what remote machine is the local connecting, to what user

3) allow me to select a specific key for that connection pair, and only present one key to the remote

4) if the key is unlocked (or, gasp not passphrase-protected), then allow me to accept/deny the agent request

5) give me some mechanism to permanently disable the agent for my user if I decide I don't want to risk some software "accidentally" forwarding an agent (pebcak, bug, malice, whatever)

Leisure Is Our Killer App
I once had a professor that would write on the blackboard with his right hand and erase with his left simultaneously. Quite a struggle to keep up with equations on those days he chose to fly through lectures like that!
For me it's board game design. It would be nice to make serious money off of it, and it is possible, but most people I know, even with successful games, aren't making enough to quit their day jobs (that pay a lot less than software dev).

Hell, one guy I know had a game you could buy at Barnes and Noble he worked on in his spare time for two years, and the publisher considered to be one of their more successful titles, earn only $10k in royalties (which he split 50/50 with a codesigner), so he only got $5k out of it.

I could take a simple dev job and make that in a week of work.

And it's a very collaborative field, so I get to meet a lot of people in the industry just by going to conventions and offering to playtest their games or help publishers demo their games to potential customers.

We are still in the "creating the low-level protocols" phase of blockchain development, but essentially Cosmos is an SDK to create Proof of Stake blockchains easily, which has traditionally been extremely difficult. Then their SDK allows each chain to communicate easily, which is another extremely difficult feature.
Better yet, the things you listed are qualities. They encompass every feature in the product.
I think parent is generalizing too much on his assumption that only mature companies should spend time in optimization. Early stage startups can sometimes make mistakes, and optimizing early on can help them save the precious resources needed for them to survive another six months.
You can plug any compute kernel you want into spark, that's not a pro or con of R.

Column stores are standard in any analytics pipeline today. They make up Python's Pandas, R's dplyr, and Java's DataFrame. How or why does R stand out for 'massive amounts of data'?

R does not have have meaningful out of core compute offerings that compare with something like Dask.

R does not at all have cluster compute offerings that compare to Dask Distributed.

If you want to know what real performance looks like, check out Python's cudf which will shortly fully match the Pandas api. That raytracing example you linked would run at interactive rates with cudf, I really don't see any basis for perf arguments in R's favour, and 'massive data' arguments are laughable here.

Whatever advantages R has, perf or scalability are definitely not amongst them.
From a marketing perspective, it’s really advisable to tell people what your thing is before asking for money.

But it wasn't the facial recognition that led back to the innocent man, it was the fact that the perpetrator used his name and details. It could have been facial recognition, or the same security guard who saw him at all three stores, it doesn't matter.

He was arrested because his name and details were presented at the crimes by the perpetrator. I've read the article and this is what I've taken away from it.

I really can't understand how facial recognition played a critical role in his arrest over his name being used.
Completely agree.. 100%. This is a big goal in Q2 and is already in the roadmap.

Usability and mobile are on the roadmap. Unfortunately, mobile is alpha right now and you should have received a warning that it's alpha when you went to the mobile site.

US/Canada is going DOWN, China is going UP.

As I said, "no-one is doing enough"

But at least the developed nations appear to be trying, mildly, so if we absolutely had to give out awards, that would be the criteria. And let's not forget the overall figures are what actually count.

IMHO having a population of 1.3B behooves you to make an extra effort to keep that per-capita figure from sky-rocketing.
And maybe also to use your low per-capita figures to berate the still-excessive (per-capita) developed nations to do better - rather than using that difference as an excuse to go full-throttle yourself.
But that's not morally gratifying! I came to this thread to be outraged.
> I like the idea of being able to use a proper programming language (opinions may differ) for my startup scripts

I don't know. I rather like the NixOS way, where a proper programming language generates the startup scripts (or, in that case, systemd units), but then those scripts are dumb and obvious. Many things are better when they're dumb and obvious.
I'd like to know how this compares to Systemd's actual service management features (systemctl, journalctl, etc). I love how declarative Systemd is.

There's an example in the docs which gives a good idea (https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/manual/shepherd.html#S...), but it helps to hear the experiences of people who use it in practice.
Well, I often use Mobirise web page creator. It's quite decent but has a lot of glitches. For example with the gallery during the sorting. When you choose some certain sorting option, the outcome isn't correct.
It is sad that the solution is to cripple the software. I hope that these workarounds will be relegated to compatibility issues in the future as the underlying hardware is eventually fixed.
A Structure for Collecting Useful Customer Feedback
Tidyverse is not just some "<package name>" -- it's an entire workflow, centered around functional programming and tidy data (https://vita.had.co.nz/papers/tidy-data.pdf), and nothing in Python comes close. R has many warts, but its lisp roots and metaprogramming strengths have allowed the tidyverse devs, and other excellent programmers working with R, to dramatically improve the language, and spawn a whole new style of statistical programming.
Both are similar in premise: the proletariat is distracted and kept down by something. Think of the sort of content that is produced in 1984; in Brave New World it is simply drugs instead. It makes you wonder about the spread of video games, instantly accessible entertainment, increased drug use, etc.
For starters:

1. All math and CS prerequisites to an intro computational complexity course.

2. An intro computational complexity course.

3. All math and CS prerequisites to an advanced, graduate-level computational complexity course. Let’s say by this point you have worked through two linear algebra courses, three calculus courses, one or two discrete mathematics courses, some graph theory, some combinatorics, some logic, and a couple of algorithms courses.

4. The advanced, graduate-level computational complexity course. Hopefully you work on probabilistic computation and, in particular, quantum computation.

5. Now read and understand the relevant papers advancing the field (not just this one problem) for the last two decades. That one paper from 1990 about reducing the permanent to the determinant? You should know about that.

6. Finally, to reach the temple you must walk the path littered with the bodies of would-be explorers before you. Read the papers of failed proofs, starting with the easily refutable ones. The most sophisticated failed proofs have errors so subtle that they are useful for the research community in their own right as an exercise in peer review.

As a rule, a grad student near their PhD in this area should know of everything Aaronson mentioned here: https://www.scottaaronson.com/talks/pvsnp.ppt. None of that should be unfamiliar or unknown. A postdoc and beyond should actively have ideas percolating on how to chip away at some small aspect of a lesser problem featured therein.

Here’s the reality: at almost every stage of a researcher’s career, “taking a stab at” a famous outstanding problem is the wrong way forward. Usually a problem is still outstanding because it actually needs a new theory - this is the practical utility in solving theoretical problems in the first place. Therefore the best bet for solving this problem is actually to chip away at it over a long period of time.

Think hacking through a rainforest to reach a goldmine, not managing to somehow parachute to the goldmine directly when it’s hidden beneath the trees.
I also really wanted to use a open source editor, but ended up in Resolve. In Windows even, which has shocked my friends. I spent probably around 4 hours trying to get Resolve working on Linux, several times, and just wanted to edit goddam videos.

Davinci Resolve is some next level stuff. Yes, I can do editing in some of the others (tried shotcut and kdenlive to edit a full video with). Resolve is just so much more advanced and capable, while also being easy to use for simple cases.

I tried Lightworks first, but really didn't like the "rent" model at $25/mo. Resolve free level has worked fine so far, and their paid version is quite reasonable at $300. Lightworks was good, but Resolve is great.

Many libraries only expose C or C++ APIs. Some of these libraries are hard requirement, like OS kernel APIs or GPU APIs.

Insufficient SIMD support in other languages, Intel only supports their intrinsics in C and Fortran.

Tools for C++ are just too good, IDEs, debuggers, profilers.
somewhat excessive? the guy's life has been destroyed. the FBI agents were laughing about it, because the story is kind of funny. unless you think about what is actually happening to him. sitting in a prison cell for 2 years, all your posessions gone, your house and your job and your girlfriend all gone... because why exactly?
Absolutely, and "higher signal-to-noise-ratio" is something I'd count as a selling point. However, I don't believe fewer characters necessarily result in a higher ratio.

So in the case of two-way data binding, if I'm trying to trace how a certain value was be modified, data flow in the opposite direction might count as "noise", in terms of extra cognitive load.

Again, this might not be something that is the case for Svelte, but it's what I observed in Angular.js.
This sounds like a rant presumably you would like to have active and passive citizens ?
Usually a phantom is a real physical object, with particular properties similar to a desired subject. The phantom is experimented with instead of the actual object.

Because you made the phantom, you have "ground truth". Whereas, for example, there is no way to validate your reconstruction of a living person's brain. Because you can't measure it without xrays, which might be the thing you're trying to improve.

But if you xray a phantom, you know what you should find.
Thanks. I went back and forth on this and it was a tough call.. the plan was to get an initial crowdfunding video out and try to raise from people already passionate about Polar.

I also didn't want to go into the grand vision without also discussing what we're working on.

If this was successful I was going to invest more time in a kickstarter/indiegogo style campaign.

This took a week of work already so was a bug chunk of time.
That's a very important life lesson. Many people live unconsciously by a code of mutual obligation -- they will do something for you, motivated by feelings they would identify as generosity, expecting nothing immediately in return. It's rude to turn them down. They'll be hurt and feel rejected. At the same time you need to be aware that it's incumbent on you to return the favor eventually, in some form. I've seen a lot of, on the one hand, resentful feelings and on the other, baffled incomprehension, result when people who live by this code interact with people who don't.

It's like saying soon the gold will worth nothing because my alchemical guy will finally make the philosopher's stone. Asteroid mining will have a cost and therefore not will be render it totally cheap… or green. Bitcoin is neither green or worth anything, it's just in the head of people.
Even if that's true, at the end of the day it's going to come down to biological differences. Men are overall, stronger than women, so when you find the best person for the job, you'll most likely end up hiring a bulky man. Same with firefighting where they need to carry heavy equipment and be able to perform their duties safely. So short of hiring women body builders, you're most likely going to end up with a man.

Why don't these "equal outcome" groups make a fuss about that? What about trying to get more men into nursing or day care?
Of course stablecoins are useful - they are basically "dollars" without any additional regulations tied to real dollars, or at least have orders of magnitude less regulations. I.e. they allow for much more unregulated activities because "it's only tokens, not a money". And of course people will create more and more stablecoins because customers will exchange fiat money for random strings of digits.
The bit about them learning in isolation made me sad. School is not simply a matter of memorizing facts, it's also a space for children to develop socially.
You're confusing "correctness" with not crashing because of invalid memory access, which is a low bar to clear.

There's really no proof that systems written in Rust have better reliability compared to systems written in Java, Typescript or PHP, is there? I've recently had the same discussion with someone claiming that FP offers stronger correctness guarantees than OO languages: where's the proof?

Furthermore, Rust doesn't offer "much more" safety than Go either, in fact Go's GC suggests that it's harder to make memory handling errors in Go compared to Rust. After all Rust's still vulnerable to memory leaks.

Finally, comparing C++ and Rust reliability is much more nuanced than your dismissive attempt. Modern C++ written by an experienced team + good tooling can have really good memory safety, not as good as Rust, but good enough so that the other advantages of C++ can tip the balance in its favor.
The problem: many projects don't use modern C++, or they don't have experienced devs or they neglect the tooling. But here's the kicker - those same teams are unlikely to use Rust anyway.

Here I expect Firefox or Chrome to be given as counter-examples to which I's say that it's likely impossible to write a memory safe browser in C++, due to the project dynamic. Remains to be seen if it's possible to do it in Rust.
Crypto is the gold standard of payment methods in several spaces already, I really don't see why it can't expand to more other than ease of use reasons.

Imo it has to be a viable instrument for commerce, that is the core value that drives the speculation, even if 95% of the price is a result of speculation.

Putting a YouTube video together is something I'm a beginner at. The content might be programming (Something I'm an expert in), but there is a lot about video production that I do not know. Of course after a short time of doing those YouTube videos I'm no longer a beginner and now I need to find something different.
The source is the article linked above, which of course all commenters have read...
Exactly, essentially neither Apple nor the police bothered to check if the name they got from an ID card was actually realistic before acting on this information with violence.

They searched for the wrong face into facial recognition software ... which did it's job perfectly.

This is akin to the police arresting someone because their name matched a name a criminal left behind. Happens all the time, and I'm sure that more than a few wrongful convictions happen this way. This is 99% the fault of the police.

Perhaps there's an argument that facial ID lowers the bar slightly for this to happen, but that's about it. When push comes to shove, neither Apple, nor the police did their work properly before resorting to heavy handed tactics ...
> ...because of scarcity and ...

I have a hard time understanding digital scarcity. Bitcoins are scarce with respect to "the" Bitcoin network, but there's nothing preventing someone from forking or starting their own clone of the entire system. While that new chain would be missing all the historic transactions of the original, is that meaningful in any important way with respect to scarcity?

The number of cells in an Excel spreadsheet are also finite, but we don't tend to impart value on them. And it's trivial to create a new spreadsheet with a whole new set of cells. What am I missing?
So thief walks in the store with the stolen ID. If facial recognition is working correctly, then this identity theft should have been recognized immediately, unless the actual guy has never been in an Apple store.

Thief steals a bunch of things, and the software ties the thiefs face to the stolen ID. Without facial recognition, they still would have tied the ID to the theft.

Apple sends the police the name and address on the ID, as well as maybe an image of the thief. The police arrest the man matching the ID without reviewing the footage.

This seems like the polices fault for not following through with a proper investigation. If anything, the footage from Apple saved this teenager. He still has an arrest on record, and as others mentioned that could ruin his life. But he needs to take that up with the police, not Apple.

The only way I see this involving facial recognition is if the thief came in to case the place, used the stolen ID, then came back later without showing the ID and stole a bunch of things. Or if they have software that flags thiefs, even when employees dont see it.

Now all that being said, there are questions to be raised about the surveilence brought by Apple. Do they notify their customers that they are being recorded? How long do they store this data? Are they analyzing your behavior (frequency of visits, suspicious activity, where you walk in the store, etc)? Is their facial recognition biased/inaccurate?

Apple prides themselves on being privacy focused, but they are clearly infringing on their customers.

I assume it's like phantom in the medical imaging context - a kind of test object.

I feel like some things work on powerpoints and other onthe blackboard, for example maths work a lot better on blackboard. Some of our best lecturers had a powerpoint but they first showed the equations on them after they had showed them on the blackboard, which I found pretty good.

So is efficiency the new bias? Efficiency is also closely related to excellency in terms of evaluations. And we don't teach these things in school. I've noticed in practice people use cover-all expressions like "you will know it when it's right", or "oh, that would be too complex". The required level of explanation seems to escape us.
> so how can we give more to women without taking some from men?

We don't, just like we don't have quotas for roles and say, "This role is being held open for a woman, person of color, or other non-white, non-male person". If it's an all male board, it's an all male board. If it's an all female board, same. You don't legislate discrimination because you feel like it's helpful. Equal opportunity, not equal outcome. No mandated quotas. If evidence is uncovered that discrimination is occurring (against any protected class), you pursue legal action against the corporation and its officers.
