A proper terminology would be "Vyom" + "maan" (like shaktiman - someone with shakti/power).

Vyoman. almost sounds like Woman. :D
Even sounds similar to "Viman" (Vee-maan) which stands for planes/flying ships in sanskrit.

I don't see landing on the moon in 2019 as quite the same technological feat that it was in 1969, so I doubt that it will abolish any notions about the Indian tech community. If anything, it establishes the notion that India is willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money to increase national pride.

I am wholly convinced that the reason terrible young shitbags (like myself) can join the army and end up doing very well is because the army does what seemingly no one else does, which is treating them like adults by giving them pretty huge responsibilities and holding them accountable.
There are a lot of things between "modern Russian tank" and "completely unprotected humans". The 30mm gun is excellent against armored personal carriers.

For the tanks, the A-10 carries the AGM-65 Maverick with 136 kg (300 lb) of explosives.

Upgrading the gun would be useful. We can now make even the 12.7 mm ammunition have guidance, so 30 mm should be easy. We could compensate for the density reduction by upgrading to something like the 37 mm used by the MiG-17. Guidance would allow targeting the most vulnerable parts of a tank. The toughest modern tank still relies on vulnerable sensors. One could also just pound the same spot many times, chipping out a hole. Reactive armor is nothing if you can get a second shot in the same location.

It is not 100% non-geo blocked considering F1 had contracts for exclusive coverage from earlier. But, once those contracts end, it will be available everywhere. (as far as I know UK is one where its not available due to deal with SKY)

The streaming also has some technical issues as they vastly underestimated the demand and the server could not take the load. Latest occurrence was at Canadian GP. I am not praising the service in the current state, but I strongly feel that is the way forward for sports broadcast. I have been an early adopter, and like the options I am provided (along with the influx of data I get) when the traditional TV streaming felt constraining and powerless.

Have you quantified this? I'd be curious to see how much productive companies are using GraphQL when compared to creating, e.g., generic REST API's.
Obviously, we have many problems.

Solving one problem after other doesn't work in real-life. Things should be handled simultaneously.

Coming to defense,

If you look through the Indian history, It is one of the most exploited country for several different reasons.

Considering our huge population, we are in short of defense equipment from very long time, until many years we don't have money to buy.

Different branches of defense were requesting government for equipment from so many years. Now NDA government is buying.

If whole world is one country, obviously it would have been a much better place to live, but what we have is what we have.

We have disputes with Pakistan, China.

China is extending their defense around Indian borders.

In-case China attacks India, then we should be sustainable enough to at-least defend the attack.

Edit: India uses ~2.4% of GDP, which is similar to many other countries.
> All models are limited by the data they're trained from; regardless of whether they are derived through rigorous, standardized, unbiased analysis or though laudable divine inspiration.

Some of the data we have isn't training data. Purely data-driven models tend to be ensnared by Goodhart's law.

For example, suppose we're issuing 30-year term loans and we have some data that shows that people with things like country club memberships and foie gras on their credit card statements have a higher tendency not to miss payments. So we use that information to make our determination.

But people are aware we're doing this and the same data is externally available, so now people start to waste resources on extravagant luxuries in order to qualify for a loan or a low interest rate, and that only makes it more likely that they ultimately default. However, that consequence doesn't become part of the data set until years have passed and the defaults actually occur, and in the meantime we're using flawed reasoning to issue loans. When we finally figure that out after ten years, the new data we use then will have some fresh different criteria for people to game, because the data is always from the past rather than the future.

We've already seen the kind of damage this can do. Politicians see data that college-educated people are better off so subsidize college loans, only to discover that the signal from having a degree that caused it to result in such gainful employment is diluted as it becomes more common, and subsidizing loans results in price inflation, and making a degree a prerequisite for jobs that shouldn't require it creates incentives for degree mills that pump out credentials but not real education.

To get out of this we have to consider not only what people have done in the past but how they are likely to respond to a given policy change, for which we have no historical data prior to when the policy is enacted, and so we need to make those predictions based on logic in addition to data or we go astray.

How conscious is that really tho? I don’t think about how to type, I just think thoughts and they come out on the screen. It’s about as conscious as speaking.

Tavis didn't write the bug he just found it (through a lot of hard work). This was free security research given to Microsoft. He gave them a very reasonable amount of time before disclosing the bug (if the disclosure window was 180 days and MS missed it people would be complaining just the same as 90 days).

There's no reason why someone else couldn't discover this bug and exploit it. I would rather know that I am vulnerable then be ignorant and assume my software was safe when it in fact was not.

Thanks taviso for all the great security work you do. (Also 2004 me would like to thank you for your cool fvwm configs).
I didn't say that it doesn't still happen today. All I'm saying, is that it doesn't make much difference if the government directly poisons alcohol, or, if it poisons chemicals that it knows people are going to drink.

Bzip2 in Rust: porting the randomization table
I use Ruby and Go in a complementary way.

I find myself choosing Go for:

- concurrency
- memory footprint management
- cpu speed
- that nebulous feeling I want a program etched in stone (strongly typed)

I've written a lot of Api based clients. Read from a queue and update AWS permissions. Receive a callout from something and passing it along to somewhere else. Come to think of it, I've written a lot of queue-reading workers, some replaced existing Ruby workers for CPU or concurrency reasons.

I think in the space of having computers talk to computers Go is highly successful because it handles nearly everything with the standard library. So I find a lot of sdk's for specific platforms written in go that can get something going with the standard library and a single package for the platform.

Fast constant-time GCD algorithm and modular inversion
There are a lot of assumptions and some misunderstanding here. The data locality is about latency first and foremost. DDR3 at it slowest actually has 30GB /s of bandwidth and DDR4 can get past 70. Memory bandwidth is rarely the issue.

Also instructions shouldn't be huge, but more importantly they don't change. If the audio buffer stays on the same CPU, it doesn't change either.

Don't forget that writing takes time too. Writing can be a big bottleneck. Keep the data local to the same CPU and it doesn't have to go out to main memory yet.

Other things you are saying about 'flushing' the instruction cache, L3 bandwidth numbers and theoretical LUT that make a difference in one scenario and not the other without measuring (even though the whole scenario is made up) just seem like stabs in the dark to argue about vague what-ifs.
You are right that big (especially enterprise) projects in Go are also a mess. But one of the main reasons is that people have a Java (or C++) background and try to replicate all sorts of complexity.. not because Go is "underpowered".

Also if you compare those codebases to Java (again enterprise) projects of a similar size they seem quite readable instantly..

Backtesting algorithmic trading algorithms is fairly simple: what actions would the model have taken given the available data at that time, and how would those trading decisions have affected the single objective dependent variable. Backtesting, paper trading, live trading.

Medicine (and also social sciences) is indeed more complex; but classification and prediction are still the basis for making treatment recommendations, for example.

Still, the task really is the same. A NN (like those that Torch, Theano, TensorFlow, and PyTorch produce; now with the ONNX standard for neural network model interchange) learns complex relations and really doesn't care about causality: minimize the error term. Recent progress in reducing the size of NN models e.g. for offline natural language classification on mobile devices has centered around identifying redundant neuronal connections ("from 100GB to just 0.5GB"). Reversing a NN into a far less complex symbolic model (with variable names) is not a new objective. NNs are being applied for feature selection, XGBoost wins many Kaggle competitions, and combinations thereof appear to be promising.

Actually testing second-order effects of evidence-based economic policy recommendations is certainly a complex highly-multivariate task (with unfortunate ideological digression that presumes a higher-order understanding based upon seeming truisms that are not at all validated given, in many instances, any data). A causal model may not be necessary or even reasonably explainable; and what objective dependent variables should we optimize for? Short term growth or long-term prosperity with environmental sustainability?

... "Please highly weight voluntary sustainability reporting metrics along with fundamentals" when making investments and policy decisions?

Were/are the World3 models causal? Many of their predictions have subsequently been validated. Are those policy recommendations (e.g. in "The Limits to Growth") even more applicable today, or do we need to add more labeled data and "Restart and Run All"?

...

From https://research.stlouisfed.org/useraccount/fredcast/faq/ :

> FREDcast™ is an interactive forecasting game in which players make forecasts for four economic releases: GDP, inflation, employment, and unemployment. All forecasts are for the current month—or current quarter in the case of GDP. Forecasts must be submitted by the 20th of the current month. For real GDP growth, players submit a forecast for current-quarter GDP each month during the current quarter. Forecasts for each of the four variables are scored for accuracy, and a total monthly score is obtained from these scores. Scores for each monthly forecast are based on the magnitude of the forecast error. These monthly scores are weighted over time and accumulated to give an overall performance.

> Higher scores reflect greater accuracy over time. Past months' performances are downweighted so that more-recent performance plays a larger part in the scoring.

The #GobalGoals Targets and Indicators may be our best set of variables to optimize for from 2015 through 2030; I suppose all of them are economic.

This has sat for a while. I don't really understand why the sudden dismissive sarcasm, but my best guess is I just didn't explain my point very well. You probably don't care at all, but for posterity maybe I ought to explain what I meant.

I feel like it's easier to find reputable free software on PCs than on app stores. I'm not saying all software should be free, or that free software is better than paid or ad-supported software, or that it's crazy to charge for hard work. Nothing radical.

It just seems like on other platforms there are a variety of models that all overlap. Less so on app stores.

My best hunch is that the dev fees have something to do with that.

I feel like you're saying this is purely a distribution cost, but all these platforms are using the same Internet. I also don't think Apple is setting these fees at pure cost. They have a captive set of users that developers can't get access to in other ways. Monopoly rents for access to that unique set of users wouldn't be that crazy.

Maybe I'm wrong though. If there's some other theory that explains this, I'd love to hear it. "It's expensive to move electrons" doesn't seem to explain why the ecosystems on different platforms are so different though.

I've effectively separated myself from social media. Since 2017 I don't have Twitter, Facebook or any "traditional" social media.

I have only two digital vices: Youtube and Hacker News.

I don't even know why I watch Youtube, it feels like I've already watched every video worth watching. My favorite channels are Vsauce, 3Blue1Brown, austin mccconnel, exurb1a, live Overflow, Tom Scott but they don't upload as often as I would like (would I?).

As for Hacker news, it feels like part of my identity now. I probably send like 300 HTTP requests a day to this site. I'm kind of obsessed with it.

That's a very short sighted view. This isn't about vegetarianism. It's about the environmental crisis, and the overfishing crisis, that we're currently experiencing at a global level. I don't care whether you are vegetarian or not, we are all in the target market for solutions to these problems. That's what replacement meat and fish are about.

In my personal experience, many people (including yours truly) give up because we have vague ideas of what exactly great is. What exactly does it mean by being a great programmer? Peer adulation? LOCs per day ? I believe that until anyone finds a decent enough definition of what great is for him/herself, it is rather hard psychologically to achieve anything resembling greatness.

Same issue. Now I use an website/application blocker. I set up a schedule 8:30~19:00 so that I can't access distractions during my workday, even If I wanted to! My tool of choice is focus https://heyfocus.com/?utm_source=focus_about I'm not affiliated to the developer, I just really like the app. I locked down the settings so that there's no way to undo the block while it's running: the lack of options is oddly freeing and it forces me to face the issues at hand. I also set up a night schedule 22:00~6:00 so that I don't waste a good night's sleep online (but I do cheat on that sometimes...).
