It's a popular misconception that neural nets don't really care about precision.

8- bit floats with 16 bit master copies show clear degradation even with careful swamping prevention and stochastic rounding. [0]

In practice, you want fp16 with fp32 master copies, and it turns out that if done improperly, even fp32 can cause accuracy losses sometimes [1].

So, you see, it's not actually the case that you can go proceed directly to analog computing without a worry about silly things like correctness, accuracy and precision.

This is almost right -- as someone else said, Initiative 71 makes possession, use, cultivation and non-commercial transfer of small amounts of marijuana legal (not just decriminalized) in DC for adults 21 and up. So the regulatory workaround is as you say.

I'm not a lawyer either, but this pattern probably wouldn't hold up in court; dealers' inventories need to be bigger than the legal limit for possession, and the "gift" thing is a pretty thin veil around what everyone knows is actually an illegal commercial transaction. But there's a general understanding that cracking down on small-time "I-71 compliant" businesses is not a police priority, although it does happen from time to time.

Overall, I'm a pretty big fan of this approach to legalization; it allows for a competitive market without the risks of Big Cannabis advertising or of licensing schemes giving all the legalization profits to upper-class white people and cutting the economic victims of the drug war out.

Why is Tesla artificially limiting range to begin with?

"Sorry, but you only paid for 15mpg from your BMW".
That's just wrong. If you own a physical resource, such as a lithium battery, you should be able to use it to its full potential.

If they want to sell lower-range cars they should just load them with smaller batteries, and have the upgrade be the battery pack, not the software.

Gas cars don't do that. Whatever gas you put in, you can use. These kind of shenanigans only make people love gas cars more, which is honestly not in Tesla's best interest if they want to increase adoption.

For what I know, about methanol extraction, it depends of various factors. If we can sacrifice portability, we can just pump salt water to a facility, extract the CO2, and pump it back.

Yes. One of which is the innovation they had done recently in 5G, where China scored 34% of essential patent [1]. Except, we all know what US decides to do when another superpower is threatening it.

Technology are always developed this way: learn (sometimes not so nicely), catch up, and then innovate. An random country can't innovate itself to a 5G/technology super power immediately.

What I never get from this accusations is, why aren't these company suing to ban Huawei sales if the copying is so blatant. Have they not heard of the patent system? Is Cisco/Nortel suddenly a small company that cannot afford to sue and/or have a vast arsenel of patents?

Of course the city is interested in getting a (larger) cut of the money.

However, the Sagrada Familia is already a massive benefit for the city due to the visitors it attracts. Its administrators could've just raised the middle finger and Barcelona would definitely not have tore it down nor stopped its construction.

Why did they enter the agreement then? The Sagrada Familia's original plans include a number of gardens that span outside of its current land. With this agreement in place, now the city can officially start making plans to eventually evict residents in the affected land space, freeing it up for the monument's gardens.

There are some cases of that absurdity within EU:

- there's a maximum allowed curvative of a banana, so that only bananas coming from former French colonies in Africa are allowed to be sold in the EU (South American banana species are more curved)

- carrot is considered a fruit, so that Portugese producers of carrot jam can sell it outside the Portugal (EU requries that jam must be made of fruit).

- According to EU officials, there's no proof that drinking water helps you hydrate, so producers of bottled water are not allowed to claim that in the advertisement, or on the labels.

It's unsubstantive because it's purely conjecture.

Not everyone who has a differing view from the common consensus is a "paid propaganda spreader" and a differing view does not make someone any less worthy of engaging or taking seriously.

I would not classify the OP's post as unsubstantial. He makes an effort to type fully formed opinions and many of his comments are backed by citations. If you want to see an example of objectively unsubstantive posts, please see [1]. You will only find one-liners and unsubstantiated, inflammatory statements.

> I've done a 4-day work-week, and I was at least as productive, and definitely happier.

I believe you were happier. But how did you measure the productivity? Are you sure it was objectively the same? I don't mean it as criticism for you, but people are notoriously unreliable at evaluating their own productivity (something 85% people thinking they are above average, and so on :) and productivity in general is not the easiest thing to measure. So, how did you ensure that and how you ensured your case is not "my productivity was less but turns out that was enough too"? I would be glad to have definite proof of this, but self-reporting is not a very reliable productivity indicator, unfortunately...

Used to be a Googler and worked on an ACL model built on top of Zanzibar. I didn't work directly on Zanzibar so listen to ruomingpang over me.

> 3. There's nothing Zanzibar can do but "pointer chase", resulting in a large number of serial ACL checks?

Zanzibar enforced a max depth and would fail if the pointer-chasing traversed too deeply. Zanzibar would also fail if it traversed too many nodes.

> 4. How do clients consistently update ACLs alongside their "reverse edges"?

One of the recommended solutions was to store your full ACL (which includes a Zookie) in the same Spanner row of whatever it protected. So, if your ACL is for books, you might have:

CREATE TABLE books (
book SERIAL PRIMARY KEY
acl ZanzibarAcl
);

Alternately, you could opt to only store the current zookie instead of the full ACL. Then the check becomes:

1. Fetch Zookie from Spanner

2. Call Zanzibar.Check with the zookie

> but how do I consistently view which groups a user is a member of?

I remember this as a large source of pain to implement. Zanzibar didn't support this use-case directly. As rpang mentioned in a sibling comment, you need an ACL-aware index. Essentially, the algorithm is:

1. Call Zanzibar.Check on all groups the user might be a part of.

Guitars are also quite safe and relatively forgiving as you keep the grounding intact.

That said I only mentioned amplifiers as the GP was referring to hacking on cars—so I imagine the project wasn’t targeted at complete beginners when they were wondering about equivalent projects. And draining caps before working on them is one of the first things any tinkerer learns—or learns to stay away from.

The first generation of automated software engineers will write one bug per 100 lines of code. This will allow them to blend in while working remotely and provide job security for existing human developers.

The second gen senior automated software engineers will write one bug per 1,000 lines but will become too expensive to maintain as they age.

All efficiency gains will therefore be rolled back to the naive first gen's level in order to free up capital for the third gen automated angel investor.
It’s a trade off between convenience and security. Consumers _do_ care, just not enough to put unusual amounts of effort in. These moves by Apple make it much easier, and could become things consumers expect from their devices, since they don’t have to give up convenience to have them.
> Are you suggesting this is meaningfully similar to what Stefan Molyneux meant...

>There are many different meanings for that word, could you provide clarity on which meaning you are referring to?

I only know one definition and, as you say, you now have it. If you have other definitions in mind, my guessing them is irrelevant: I am obviously not using them. Beyond that I can not help except with this link[1].

But use another word if you wish, the utterances used to denote a fact don't alter it. Alas, sometimes when a thesis is indefensible, rhetoricians derail the topic into nonsensical minutiae rather than address the point. It would be regrettable if that were happening.

True, measuring productivity is notoriously hard, especially in areas like software engineering. It's largely an unsolved problem. So we have to rely on intuition, tradition and gut feelings, unfortunately. All of those suggest "let's work less by 20%" is probably not the most obvious way of improving productivity. I mean, of course, there's a place where working more does not yield more output. But 4 days a week doesn't seem to be that point - if fact, it seems pretty luxurious point to be in, and, again, intuitively, it looks like working a bit more would still produce marginal increases. It very well may be that the intuition is wrong - but to claim it's the case one need some serious proof. "I feel happy not working" doesn't really cut it - I'd probably feel happy working one day a week, for the same money, but my productivity would hardly be the same, so I don't see how I could sell such arrangement to my employer.
I've got about 20 years of professional coding under my belt including a 5 year stint doing a lot of job hopping/consulting.
