Currently, I'm currently using TF 1.x for most of my AD needs, but encountering the limits so I'm always looking for neater solutions.

Conceptually, I enjoy the functional approach where the standard compiler does the work. But I'm still using some graph based approach, where the order of operations are recorded on a "tape", then replayed it in reverse order.

The main reason is to be able to manage the memory and computation placement. To distribute huge computations among machines, while limiting memory transfers between machines/devices to a minimum.

Also some kind of automatic gradient accumulation to reduce the memory need would be nice. Currently using the graph based approach, partitioning a big tensor into smaller ones and doing a map-reduce to accumulate the gradient works surprising well (except for the initial very long graph creation time).

Every time I do one of those manual optimizations I start dreaming : "that should be done by the compiler". You tell the compiler your cluster definition and devices, you write a few for loops as if the code was done on a single cpu. And the compiler do the loop splitting, reordering, parallelization across device in an optimal way given your available memory constraints.

I started my career on a 1.5 million LOC project that only had 5 developers working on it. It really influenced my development methodology, and I've always thought working on messy code bases was fun and challenging.

So when I started my consulting company I thought about marketing it as something like "Spaghetti-Wizard". Similar to the "we buy ugly houses" but "we work on ugly code. never surrender. never rewrite.". Couldn't think of proper way to find clients though, so with one exception mostly been working on greenfield projects or as an expert on Oil and Gas IOT systems.
It probably means the data is encrypted at rest and they discard the encryption key. Of course I doubt we'll ever know because they won't give us that level of detail unless they are compelled to.

You are completely right and I now realize that I worded my comment poorly. You are right in that you don't have to have a dual intent visa to apply, but take my case as an example. I'm in the US on a non-immigrant work visa, but I haven't applied for EB2-NIW because I know that if I get denied, then I would have proved intention to immigrate and getting another non-immigrant visa will be close to impossible.

I wouldn't have that problem if I was on, say, an H1B Visa.

I'd argue that it should be as far as possible. Is that not the entire moral basis of capitalism?
(according to a headless CMS provider)
On the flip side if they just continue to run at a deficit for extended periods then they have to cut even more as they will no longer be able to fund what they have.

I get that this isn't an ideal situation but it seems like so often whenever anyone wants to cut anything its the end of the world. I mean what would you cut in order to reduce the deficit? Welfare services? Health services? Emergency services?

It may not be a particularly popular move but I imagine this was part of people evaluating all the places the cuts could come from trying to figure out how to cut things to minimize disruption to existing services and then taking action consistent with a plan.

But I could be wrong, maybe internet commentators that read a 10 minute article actually have a much deeper and penetrating insight into the finances of the state of Alaska then the accountants and budget people that spend their lives doing this? Maybe it is part of an evil plan by the governor to do.... something nefarious. Or maybe it is part of a widespread governmental budget cuts throughout Alaska designed to try and minimize impact while still trying to allow them most essential services to remain intact.
The trouble is that if the "we" who are doing something does not include China and the rest of the world in coordination, then it is just sacrificing local economics in vain.

The idea that the rest of the world is going to follow suit automatically based only on morals is far from obvious.

It doesn't seem that anyone in the mainstream has really found a way to come to grips with this, that at its core any solution is a global coordination problem. (Even putting aside that half the US has found it more politically useful to deny the problem entirely.)

The soviet union shot a U-2 spy plane in 1960 [1]. It didn't start a war then. Iran Air Flight 655 [2] was shot down by the US in 1988, and it didn't start a war either. Albeit US thought they were targeting a military aircraft, but either way they were not targeting a drone. You can find hundreds of such incidents that didn't result in a war.

So I don't think the rules of war are evolving all that much. But I agree that there seem to be a sort of consensus that shooting down drones is less serious than downing manned aircrafts.

On a related note, I came across Nixtamalization recently. It's one of those stories reminiscent how the Royal Navy managed to 'forget' the cure for scurvy. It had been practiced for thousands of years in South America but when the western countries discovered maize they didn't understand why. Turns out it's responsible for making maize a complete protein source.

If this description doesn't fit the category of "act of war", how could any other hacking that doesn't cause physical damage be seen as an act of war? This is a positive development, so in future we won't have to listen to drum-beating MIC pundits tell us how some supposedly unfamiliar files that someone claimed someone found at a Vermont power plant "constitute a Russian act of war."
Vaping is one I'd like to see us put the kibosh on, however.
Modern capitalism is arguably more about growth than efficiency - the latter is often sacrificed in favor of the former.
My reading of this page shows that this only applies to really wealthy people. You had to have been paying over $160K in income taxes every year before you left, or have a net worth of over $2M. Of course, if your net worth is a whopping $100K plus some worthless artwork that the IRS says is worth $50M, you might have a problem...

Advocate that governments cut down on soot emissions.

This accounts for a significant portion of the current temperature rise in the Arctic -- but, most importantly -- an unknown amount of the loss of snow and ice cover.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/scientists-track-...

Unfortunately, this form of carbon (soot) is not as useful for funds transfer...

Between cutting down soot (all Chinese power plants could be outfitted with soot collectors in one year), and planting trees (which is the least expensive, most accessible option for sequestering carbon dioxide at planetary scale), we could actually start to impact arctic snow cover and permafrost within a couple of years, within a budgetary envelope that every developed country could easily manage.

But, once again -- unfortunately, neither of these options appear to be politically attractive, because the primary goal seems to be wealth transfer, not actual harm mitigation...
That's what trade policy is supposed to be about. If the rest of world agrees to a particular standard you make that standard a condition of trade.
I'm in a lucky position where I can walk to work, bike for local shopping, buy an electric car for the few times that I go on trips, etc.

IMHO, the problem isn't as much individuals not choosing to do that, but a system that prevents these choices from ever being made.

Also, not all spending is equal; buying propane or gasoline or airline tickets are clearly worse than buying a share of community solar; or buying new insulation for your home, or building new high-density apartment buildings next to a train station.

I don't think that we will ever win over climate change by championing austerity; rather we need to champion change in the system, and that takes lots of spending.

Furthermore, we are now at a point that it's going to be absolutely necessary to start pulling CO2 out of the ocean or atmosphere and sequestering it. Without a whole bunch more prosperity and cheap energy, we will never be able to do that, so building a future with super cheap and abundant solar and wind energy is pretty much the only way I can imagine us avoiding > 2C climate change.

Personally, I think rsync.net is the best if you're in IT, particularly if you're a *nix user. Nothing better yet unless you wanted to roll your own. And the fact they use ZFS makes it great. You can choose where your data resides and it's fairly inexpensive all things considered. And to the best of my knowledge, I don't recall them being involved in anything overtly political. I like tech companies doing what they do best. Tech.
I'm sure this depends a lot on who you talk to as well. If you talk a church or synagogue leader, likely any amount of texting is considered inappropriate and harmful. However, if you're talking to parents that take their kids crossdressing at gay bars, it's much more difficult to know when their compass actually hits any moral outrage.

The even more difficult take home is to understand which camp the researching and reporting groups actually represent, because either has the capability of distortion to their preferences.
In many ways they're also the only true mega tech company. They don't build tech in service of some other goal... the business is tech.

My guess is he's looking at XSS mitigations or similar that aren't in headless?

If it were doing something like using CSS being non-blocking (? I don't know that it is) that's a server side detection .. but that would seem to work even against spoofing.

But he says if you spoof another Chrome-based browser (Safari) he can't tell. So he's looking first at UA?? That's weird.
So, breed a future full of inconsiderate people, I guess? If there's one best point thoughtful conservatives have, it's that for a sustainable planet, we need to value good people producing and raising the next generation.

The inability to understand this (ending in antinatalism at the extreme) is perhaps the root of my problems with the left side of politics. It's hard to get behind a side that is mathematically predestined to disappear completely.
At some point, though, the pedantry can get out of hand. After all, 'deleting' at the file system level is just 'unlinking' the inode from the underlying data blocks... in fact, data forensics at the file system level is probably more well-understood than recovering deleted data from a Lucene shard.

at what point would you be able to 'delete' data without being in violation of GDPR?

Try to find a private university with a nice endowment. My employer is sitting on $7.5B. I feel pretty comfortable knowing that.
My portfolio is about $10MM across tech, banking, energy, and retail. Any fiscal legislation I’ve seen passed in recent years works in my favor, and there are people earning minimum wage or earning $50K, $90k, even $200K a year annually in this country blaming each other or blaming immigrants or illegals.

To be blunt, Americans are easily brainwashed. My parents were immigrants and their home country still had an uneducated, large population that would vote against its interests. In America, people have 10x more opportunity. They may still end up very poor, but at least they can learn to read. Unfortunately, we’ve decided proper education is a liberal socialist idea and that any ideas that empower the masses are immediately Venezuela or Soviet Union levels of corruption.

I contract with a big tech company. Last year, I took home over $1MM and effectively paid < $100k in taxes because of legal IRS rules that allowed my tax guy to write off a ton of stuff. Meanwhile, Trump puts women and children in cages without access to showers or soap while giving tax cuts to folks like me. Rand Paul blocked legislation to help 9/11 personnel because of “balancing the budget”. It’s extremely sad but balancing the budget LOOOOOOOL.

They need to raise taxes. Alaska has been riding the oil money for a long time, but that's being reduced every year. Since they didn't invest it wisely, they have nothing to fall back on. The only way to reduce the deficit is a combination of eliminating government services and raising taxes.
Imagine if search engines had to "reach out to each [site owner] and figure out a business arrangement with them." The world decided that opt out via robots.txt was a better approach.

The point of the book was not that they had to fail, but they would fail if they designed in isolation and didn’t take into account how cities are used and the processes that allow them to grow and change.
This sounds entirely tractable. Institute a carbon tax. In addition, create a tariff on all imports from countries that don’t have an equivalent bona fide carbon tax at the same or higher rate, and set the tariff such that it recovers 150% of the deficiency in taxes vs emissions. The tax needs to be transitive: if countries A and B don’t cooperate and country A reexports something from country B, the tariff needs to account for B’s failure as well.

Make the carbon tax revenue neutral, and pitch it as leveling the playing field and a boon to the local economy.

Sure, there are tons of details to work out, but I think this should be doable.
Also, a lot of Americans are on the opposite side of the spectrum and do not want to police the world. I think the common uniting factor is that the conflicts are "over there." Out of sight, out of mind.
Agreed, I'd very like to see something like this to be a thing.

Reefer is not free, all loads on the motor burn fuel.
Absolutely agreed. IMHO the only way we avoid the worst calamity is with a good 33% of our energy going to active sequestration of oceanic and atmospheric carbon after 2050. And I think the best way to get there is to have solar and wind and storage technology continue to beat the best predictions possible.

But we also need to change the local as much as possible. Every single ton of CO2 we can avoid now is one less that we'll have to pull out later.

But is the degree of inequality a foreseen consequence?

No. Originally, the ratio of Senator to constituents and Representative to constituents was much closer to 1:1 than what we have now.

While there isn't any easy way to fix the imbalance in the Senate (short of adding/splitting states), we can fix the House and Electoral College by simply increasing the size of the House (easy button would be to peg the size of a district to the population of the smallest state).
You can start blaming China once there is a single country on Earth on track to stay within the 1.5° carbon budget. Until then you should talk to your own politicians why they aren't doing anything.

The obvious question is when we make a mistake in identifying something as uncrewed and there are people on it and we shoot it down, will we use that as an excuse and claim those were never supposed to have people on them? We already shot down an Iranian airliner by accident in a busy crowded Persian Gulf. I think more shooting down of other country's aircraft is not a good next step.
Not at all, the permanent fund dividend is immensely popular in Alaska. Additionally, it is actually money from the PFD that is used to fund the state government because the last democratic governor was unable to push through tax increases.

What Alaska needs is a balanced package of raised taxes and budget controls, what we have is political gridlock and dysfunction.
Can that 3x cost be attributed to just being in Alaska?

It's not easy to convert waste to a commodity. Recycling has a big problem with this - if the waste isn't provided in the right way, then it's totally useless (ie. plastics need to be completely clean, all food waste has to be washed out, otherwise it just goes to the landfill).

What if different breweries output different quality waste? Some is too watery, some too thick. Is it now worth it to reprocess this waste to make it usable? Is the collection and processing of this waste cheaper than just growing food for the flies?
