Ok, but if we are using a hierarchical model like multilayer lstm, shouldn’t we expect it to learn to extract the relevant info at multiple time scales? I mean, shouldn’t the output of T1 already contain all the important info in F2? If not, what extra information do you hope to supply there via F2?
I don't see how the analogy applies.

What if we were able to make a an exact copy of a human brain, and the behavior was indistinguishable from a "naturally formed" human? Would that still be like a flight simulator vs actual flight?

I think a better analogy is a natural diamond vs an artificial one. Or for that matter an artificial heart. Is an artificial heart vs a natural heart like a flight simulator compared to actual flight?
You lucked out... for now. Again, a CC chargeback will be hard to fight.

Yeah, but parent mentioned "autonomy" as the driving force for people who'd want this track, and I'm very much in the same situation. Management or architecture won't give you the same level as autonomy as working in one of these small "Tiger teams" (thanks to sibling for pointing out that term)

You could, but that would be a weird thing to say. 36 would make a lot more sense.
What I see here in Maryland is that there is plenty of room for every car to merge onto the highway, except that nobody moves left to let them in. Why would you stay in a lane where you can see you're going to be slowed down and even have to brake, when you could move over, maintain your speed, and make room for others? I don't know, but that seems to be the majority's instinct.
The tiobe index always seems to be way out of line with the other indices out there. Nobody but tiobe ranks VB.net above c#. Also the other day I read that Lazarus isn't taken into account in terms of assessing the popularity of object Pascal, because Lazarus is an IDE, not a language.
Tiobe also seen to be constantly tweaking the methodology such that if you look back at historical rankings they can be totally different to the rankings for the same period that were reported historically. Which is verging on the dishonest. It would be like a tipster going back and revising his tips after the fact.
Same existing methods that are used today could be used to prevent squatting, eg 'commit-reveal' Vickery style auction, in that way the domains do not go for the highest price (The highest bidder wins but the price paid is the second-highest bid).
It's fine if you are saying "at least decades out." What I am talking about is people who say "never." They are drawing a black and white line, and I don't think that makes sense.

What about FM synths ? They seem even wackier to program.
If as an individual contributor you produce 8 points per week, as a manager you're not going to get other team members to produce 12 - unless they are much better developers than you were in the first place.

What you can do, instead, is allowing your devs to stay at the maximum of their productivity even as the team grows - which is a challenge. And, even more importantly, you should ensure that those "points" that they develop actually contribute to the team's goals.
I wrote code like a madman and then went into management. I like management, but I understand what the author of this article was getting at.

I had an identity crisis early on doing management. I liked to tell people what to do, because I had a big map in my head of where things should go. Because of this developers sort of organically gravitated to me for guidance even before I had the official job. However, I also liked to write a lot of code.

Once I was promoted to management I quickly realized just how much "not coding" that job requires. I struggled with not coding as much. I struggled with wanting to micro manage my staff. I struggled with wanting to write their code for them. I had juniors on my team and I wanted to snatch the keyboard from them and write their code for them.

The defining moment for me was one day, while watching one of my developers deploy something magnificent, that I realized I don't necessarily like to "build things", I like to "see things built". I like to see people succeed. I like to see a scribble on a napkin become a tangible piece of software. Code was a means to an end for me.

I won't lie and say I don't miss coding full time. I still get right in there when I can, but I step aside when I know my management duties are going to let the team down. One thing I don't feel is guilty about not coding as much anymore.

Wow, way to be a fleshist. This is going on your record for when the robot apocalypse comes and we choose not to make you into cyborgs against your will. Robots have feelings too you know ...
So, uh, what's the issue? I don't see how loving something relates to that thing having an internal life. You can't even prove whether another person (or a robot for that matter) even has an internal life, so I don't think something so vague and immaterial should have any impact on what I do or do not love. Not to mention that having an "internal life" is a spectrum where I'd say a robot falls somewhere in between a rock (which would be odd to love) and a dog (which is obviously loveable).
Adding a separate complex ad hoc memory allocation scheme is not what I would call free. Granted, computationally-wise it may be relatively cheap but it does add multiple forms of complexity to a problem that doesn't exist in rmguis.

The TDP is a lot lower for the newer processor. Performance per Watt has improved quite a bit over the last years. Given that datacenters and mobile applications are increasingly more important than traditional "TDP doesn't matter" desktops, I think this is a positive development.
Ironically, the leaked roadmap shows a product with a 14nm (old process) CPU combined with a 10nm (new process) GPU.

The article's interpretation is that Intel are struggling to get clock rates up on 10nm.
"But I'm not aware of any platforms that charge extra for their accessibility features. Are there any?"

My point isn't that OverDrive should itemise their pricing, it's that market participants generally only invest money in R&D when it is expected to make them more money. And if customers signal that they value a feature at $0, then that feature is likely to go to the bottom of the list.

If I buy a licence to a platform, that enables me to provide services to my users, then of course I can only use the features that come with that platform. If I want additional features, of course I can ask for them. But the platform provider will prioritise things based on what will make them money (get more new customers, reduce existing customer churn, or increase revenue per customer).

From what you've said, it sounds like OverDrive has no competition, so the impact of accessibility features on customer retention and acquisition is zero.

If so, then OverDrive needs to be incentivised by either:

A) More money from existing libraries (what I asked about above), or

B) Threat of competition, which would affect future customer acquisition+retention (which the SimplyE project you mention may provide).
How is it not a landslide? Of the 9 top gainers you listed, only one leans republican (Texas) [1]. All others lean democratic.

Of course as pointed out by a sibling, it’s kind of an irrelevant point anyway. The brain migration is away from rural areas (which are red, regardless of state), to big cities (which are blue, regardless of state). That only reenforces the parent’s hypothesis that intellectuals resent the anti-intellectual bent republicans have taken in recent times.

Replace libraries, languages and products with statistics, hypotheses and figures and you have described scientific research.

The point is that each iteration learns from the last, in principle, even if they aren’t backwards or forwards compatible.
(Edited to add housing comment)

I agree the housing seems low. For my county, it worked out to ~$750 a month for a single childless household. I’ve never seen a rent that low around me. I assume shared living must be on the table for this.

As for the other living expenses, and whether you’re on a hedonic treadmill:

* How many meals a month are from a restaurant of any kind?

* How many of the following do you have paid subscriptions for? Cable/satellite, HBO, Showtime, Netflix, Hulu, etc.

* Do you set your thermostat to lower than 75°F/23°C in the summer, or higher than 65°F/18°C in the winter?

* Do you buy cars new? Or almost always have a car payment?

* Any microwave meals or individually packaged snacks?

* Alcohol on any semi-regular basis?

* Coffee that’s more than 25¢ a cup?

None of the above are (moral) value judgements, but they’re really easy to get accustomed to and not consider as discretionary items.

I read this article a few months ago about being a Principal Engineer, https://blog.dbsmasher.com/2019/01/28/on-being-a-principal-e..., and ever since it’s been my designated career path / plan. I am in the lucky position of working in a small-but-growing team of developers, so I get to choose my career advancement and have support to follow this road.

I think a principal engineer is the right mix of (still) developing, planning, mentoring and potentially leading small teams, while staying out of a full-on managerial role.

Immediate mode uis are fine for debug displays or for displaying data that's changes every single frame, but for anything else, in a shipping product they are just a waste of resources. The primary wasters are excess memory allocation, string generation, and the sheer amount of redundant function calls. Anything you do to address those problems result in converting your ui to a retained mode UI. For those advocating react like approaches to solving this.. similar problems are involved. Diffing state is wasting cycles unless it's done so optimally and carefully that it becomes a technical feat and ends up being as complex as just doing something retained.

I've been using IRC for almost two decades now and I can't help but feel this is a good thing. A lot of big IRC channels have become very good at alienating members of their communities through excessive moderation - if you don't believe me spend some time on Freenode on any given day. Having to go through a few additional steps seems like it could benefit many communities.
Making a copy of a brain is equivalent to making a copy of a plane - if you can fly in that copy it’s not a simulator, it’s a real thing.

At some point while building better and better flight
simulators we might end up
building an actual plane. Same can happen when simulating emotions or intelligence.

All this makes sense without involving Cartesian dualism.

If the primary install method is "search and download whatever manually from the internet," you have bigger issues than a potential Google compromise: create a site with better ranking than the canonical HTTP (!) download page, MITM the HTTP download, whatever.
Since others have commented that they found the expense low, I decided to check mine. In my particular county in Maryland (don't want to give the exact one for privacy reasons), the total expanses for a single adult match my experience almost exactly. Excluding retirement and other savings, the reported total expenses was with 20$/month of my experience.

The housing category seems to assume that a single adult has a roomate though.
that pretty disappointing, i would expect a bit better from HP.

Yeah my boss certainly sees me and my colleague as a technical problem solving API: he says “now that I have told you what the problem, it is no longer my problem, and I don’t want an update unless it’s the solution.”

I think this is sort of ok at a high competence level, but fails when the people you work with are less experienced. One could say the same of an IDE I suppose..
Haha, good point. I edited my comment to reflect what I was thinking, which is that the manager created a 28 point gain. :)

T1 indeed contains all the info needed, but T1 also has limited capacity and can't capture long patterns. T1 would need to have 100s of billions weights to capture minute long patterns. I think this idea is similar to the often used skip connections.

A better fourth path is to transition to running your own business. You still get to write the code, and you remove the salary cap.

People sweat about all the “Business Stuff” you have to do in addition, but I find it’s not really any more of your day than the normal boring admin stuff of being a rank and file developer. Certainly less than being a manager at a bigco.

It also does away with ageism concerns.

I’ve found numbeo to be practically useless for most cities I’ve been to and stayed. MITs calculator is much more accurate, especially if you are someone who doesn’t earn a high wage.

Most people aren’t going to stay in Greenwich village/SOHO/UES if they are in NY, or similar elsewhere. Prices reflected in the MIT calculator seem to take all areas of living into account, that too by county.

Edit: Numbers on numbeo seem to have improved a lot since the last time I saw them. Taking back my previous opinion, but I find both to be useful resources.

The problem with ImGUI is that your gui tree is function call tree and you can't do much with that unless you are in lisp.

Function call tree has some advantages. Functions are wonderfully composable and flexible.

React is such a revolution because it translates ImGUI usage into whatever insane retained mode API is at the bottom of the stack, through intermediate representation of virtual dom.

Presto. You have flexibility and composability of ImGUI without disadvantages of keeping your gui tree only in your function calls, and you can use it without ability to directly control how the GUI is drawn in the engine.
Another option that I used to write my lecture notes in is DokuWiki. Simple syntax in general and you can embed LaTeX for formulas. I used a Lenovo x-series tablet, so I also had a stylus to quickly draw diagrams in Gimp, and the keyboard was nice too.

I'd use Emacs org-mode now unless the Wiki made was needed to work on with others.
> The accessibility audits are not comprehensive. A site can get a perfect score of 100 on accessibility and still be miserably inaccessible.

I fully agree. However, it's different the other way: a site with a score under 100 is for sure validating some WCAG rules. So it's still a good start, especially for people without A11Y knowledge.

A side note: does your blog provide an RSS feed? I couldn't find it.
I agree with what you’re saying. When trying to coin an example I was imagining a team of ten with little in the way of focus and leadership, which means a lot of interrupts, conflicts, and changes in direction (ie lost points), compared to the same team with an effective leader clearing the way for them operate as you describe. It’s admittedly a contrived example.

The interesting thing is that at that team size you really only need to have each team member “gain 1 point” for the “manager switch” to be “worth it” since 9x9 > 10x8.

The point being that as the number of humans, good leadership is increasingly valuable.
Since you seem to have some idea of what an Architect is, can you explain this to me?

Well, sorry, but I think your analogy is a stretch. A flight simulator is simulated flight. An airplane is artificial flight. A bird is natural flight. Is the airplane closer to the bird or the flight simulator?

And what about the word "flight"? Most people think airplanes fly, even though they are not autonomous entities, and they don't flap their wings like birds or insects or bats. But is it really flight?

Ok, you probably think yes, of course it is. Then what about submarines? Do they swim? If not, why not?

(yes I am referencing Edsger Dijkstra's famous quote that is relevant here: "The question of whether machines can think is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim.")
Hmmm. I found it to be a good reflection of where I've stayed. The data is sometimes lagging by a year or so.

I thought this was my dream as well, until I found out it basically brings you all the responsibilities of management, without any of the rewards.
Oddly enough I've never seen managers complain about ageism or the difficulty of finding jobs later in life, but it seems to be rather common around here.

So maybe there is something worse: bring stuck as a developer after 40-50.
