(I appreciate your comment about accommodations that should be offered to everyone, and for which it turned out one time you too needed but did not get in time. That's upsetting and should not have happened. And I understand your skepticism of when a company says something isn't possible.)

But for the hypothetical, in an HN discussion, of when it's truly not possible to offer the thing to everyone... you can't answer because maybe(?) there's some other variables involved, and/or there's an emotional component?

For example, maybe there's some additional pertinent variables besides the hypothetical as I framed it, and you suspect there are some situations in which you could logically acknowledge that the organization has no other legal option, but you would still emotionally resent the organization/situation/environment, and leave because of that?
I think the point of the post is 1) it's new and 2) it's a recollection by an older mathematician. These are always valuable and would be lost if not told, despite any other sources or stories already available.
Files Are Fraught with Peril
I've been using Julia. I've been working on a front end meant to help specify vectorized models and their gradients. It is alpha-quality software (far from production ready), but here is the github:
https://github.com/chriselrod/ProbabilityModels.jl

In the example I give there, the logdensity and gradient evaluation was about 25x faster than Stan, and sampling was about 20x faster.
A simulation fitting many data sets for my dissertation took about 9 hours. 20x is the difference between running overnight, and taking a week.

If I understand correctly, one problem Stan has is that it uses a var datatype for its arrays, which interleaves the values (Scalar) with pointers (vi_).
https://github.com/stan-dev/math/blob/master/stan/math/rev/c...

This interleaving is going to cause problems to an autovectorizer. To get a SIMD vector of the scalars, you'd probably have to load two vectors, and then blend them.

Even with arrays of doubles, I found Eigen's fixed size arrays to get about 3-8x worse performance than my Julia library (3-8x worse than my Julia library for Mx32 * 32xN, for combinations of M and N = (3,...,32) ):
https://bayeswatch.org/2019/06/06/small-matrix-multiplicatio...

I compiled the Eigen benchmarks with:
g++ -O3 -fno-signed-zeros -fno-trapping-math -fassociative-math -march=native -mprefer-vector-width=512 -shared -fPIC -I/usr/include/eigen3 eigen_mul.cpp -o libeigenmul.so

How did you tell Eigen to use avx512? At the time, I was getting errors when specifying -DEIGEN_ENABLE_AVX512.

That was quite a famous defeat for the British, so it kind of undermines your point.

Are you making reference to Roukes Drift? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Rorke%27s_Drift

That's what the film Zulu is based on. They followed on from one another, and on the same day, they're generally considered to be 2 separate actions though.

Also on the subject of British defeats, there's Gate Pah in New Zealand https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tauranga_campaign

And the 1st Afghan War.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Anglo-Afghan_War

Anyway I wasn't even thinking about what they did in battle, I was think about how they treated the civilians, how they treated them after the war, how they treated prisoners. The Boers got off lightly, they got some (all?) of their land back after a relatively short period, the Zulus didn't.

As someone who bought a 7 year old car used and has had it for 10, I disagree.
It's already too late. Even if they switched now it wouldn't save all the coins stored in older addresses.

They need to choose between removing a large part of the coins from the blockchain or accepting that those coins will be taken by whoever has the technology first. Both options are bad for bitcoin.
Personally I think the usual issue with the standard conversion is doing 9/5, but it actually isn't that bad. The way I convert is

C * 2 - C / 5 + 32, where I just round C to the nearest multiple of 5 before dividing to make it easy.

24C times 2 is 48, 24 / 5 ~= 5, so 43 + 32 = 75. Off by less than a half a degree, which (thinking about it for 15 seconds or so) I think is guaranteed under this system.

The most important thing is that this is easy to remember because it's basically just the real conversion, but also easy to do in your head.

Does this provide some benefit over Algo? (https://github.com/trailofbits/algo)
This is all being worked on. Someone is writing a BASIC, others are building OS-type stuff. I've been fiddling around with OS and language type stuff.

It's its own platform. It's not like there's much from those old machines that'd be all that fun to run these days anyways. The only thing I'd want from the IIgs would be the excellent ORCA series compilers.

65816 is a challenging platform due to lack of higher level language tools, and the oddities of the ISA (switching back and forth between 8 and 16 bit register modes, etc.) but this could be surmountable with contributions. Several people including myself have attempted a LLVM backend for 65816, but nobody has finished it. Sure would be easier with the assistance of someone who was an LLVM expert.

The Kate LSP support evolves, compiled-in per default in master, help welcome
The idea of branch-counting seems untenable when we consider irrational probabilities (which they are, of course, overwhelmingly likely to be),though I think it would be begging the question to say, on that basis alone, that branch-counting is the wrong way to look at it. I think the example used to motivate branch indifference would be more persuasive if it used irrational probabilities.
3-year leases aren’t all that uncommon. I’ve also been at a SmallCo that would buy brand new top of the line Mac laptops for developers and number crunchers, and then cycle them down after a few years to staff whose workloads were less demanding. They averaged 6-8 years out of a computer.

Asking developers to work on 6-8 year old hardware is definitely penny wise/pound foolish, tho.

Yes, he says this pretty explicitly in the essay. Some relevant excerpts:

"Programming in this sense primarily must be the programmers' building up of knowledge of a certain kind, knowledge taken to be basically the programmers' immediate posession, any documentation being an auxiliary, secondary product." (emphasis mine)

"The death of a program happens when the programmer team possessing its theory is dissolved. A dead program may continue to be used for execution in a computer and to produce useful results. The actual state of death becomes visible when demands for modifications of the program cannot be intelligently answered."
What do you mean by measurements being deterministic? In Haroche's cavity-QED experiments the outcome of each individual measurement is fundamentally random and cannot be predicted. Quantum mechanics (regardless of which interpretation one choses) only gives a probability distribution for the outcome of many measurements.
With respect, you're ignoring my point.

There's value to team cohesion in having a team physically together. It won't be fatal to make an exception, and indeed it's possible run a company purely on remote working, but the point stands.

> If the company wants employment to be a success, rather than a temporary period of grudging extraction of value through pain

As far as I can tell, most major employers operate like grudging extraction of value is their definition of success. Then well-meaning managers at smaller companies implement "standard practice" and are baffled when it causes problems.
A new environment with exciting new microorganisms seems especially likely to cause this.

The best/safest way to do so is to found a company/club/... that operates the node. The goal here isn't to hide who runs it, it's to make sure that the police find someone who understands what Tor is before they find whose _home_ to raid.

When there's bomb threats, child porn, or other illegal activity coming from your home IP, you're going to get raided before you get to explain what a Tor node is.

When that stuff is coming from a server that you personally have rented, you're probably going to get raided before you get to explain what a Tor node is.

When that stuff is coming from a server that a company, student club, or similar has rented, suddenly brains are required to be switched on since there isn't an "obvious culprit", and it's unlikely that they'll start raiding the private homes of random members or organizers. Not impossible, but significantly less likely. The office address of the company/club is at the highest risk, but if that's "digital freedom club, computer science department building, university road 17, biguniversity" that's not necessarily a big problem. A raid at the office address would already be the exception, not the rule, but if you can make sure that a raid happening wouldn't be more than a minor annoyance, do it.

For non-exit nodes, just run them wherever you feel like, as long as you're OK with the traffic and the risk that some people will treat the IP as "not reputable". Anyone who finds the IP of the node will by necessity have an idea how Tor works and understand that the node is not the origin of the traffic.
Basically, all the parsing is based on unanchored regexes. This means that Liquid will just ignore syntax that doesn't match what it expects instead of giving a syntax error.

One example is `{% if this && that %}`, which is not the correct syntax for logical and but people write in Liquid templates and see that it doesn't give an error so expect it to work, but actually it acts the same as `{% if this %}` and just ignores the invalid suffix.

> It's not unreasonable for someone to find another employer...

Sure. If you want to work remotely, you should find a job where you can.

> I am pointing out that treating people differently damages teams.

We're talking about an employer making reasonable accommodations for an employee with a disability. What alternative would you prefer?

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to treat employees differently. Maternity leave is another instance.
Edit: The original comment below did not take into proper account the significance of taking the floor in the approximations, rendering it mostly useless.

If the "refined approximation" assumes it's easy to 1) subtract 10% 2) double and 3) add 31, then it should be just as easy to 1) double 2) subtract 10% and 3) add 32 - i.e. the exact conversion formula.

In principle consoles are not different, and lawyers looking at Apple/Google stores are also wondering what impact would a ruling in this field have on consoles as well.

This is interesting stuff, for sure.

But a key word doesn't appear in TFA: "motive".

No matter how well you hide/burn/dissolve/etc the remains of anyone with whom you have a relationship, you'll be a suspect. You can try to fake an alibi, and obscuring the time of death does help with that. However, any evidence for that having been done may implicate those with motives, because a random serial killer likely wouldn't bother.

That's why most unsolved murders involve ~random selection of victims.
Meaning half the time taxpayers are paying for the installation and/or maintenance of those solar panels.

Ironically it's now flipping around. Governments have realized that in many locales, from Australia to the Netherlands and Belgium that if richer people were to cut them out by cutting the grid connection they'd be thoroughly screwed, and because the electricity prices that would have to be charged ... mostly to apartment renters in large cities would be a lot more than they pay now (the grid is 50%-80% of electricity cost, so if 20% of people outside of cities disconnect that same cost now has to increase by 25%. If it ever gets to 50% it doubles. Grid costs are mostly paying off the loans used to build the grid so they don't go down much because someone doesn't use some part of it. So that means now governments are running scared and introducing measures to make private solar panels artificially ... expensive. Yes, really.

In .au this has more-or-less changed the calculation to "it's about a neutral investment if you do it, assuming conservative panel lifespan. If you can disconnect from the grid, however ... definitely worth it. In the outback, there's no alternative". Varies by locale, as local councils have a lot of policies that matter too.

Solar might make living in cities quite a bit more expensive, especially in the places were already a lot of poor people live.
Your comment enticed me to actually read the first few paragraphs of the article, skim the rest, and ctrl+f for "conscious" and "brain". In my humble opinion, your rule has raised a false positive here. The post is extremely well written and sourced, weaving a story straight from highly technical research papers. I'd suggest judging this article by itself, not a string-matching filter.

Besides, isn't discussion of brains and consciousness perfectly relevant in the context of QM, given the requirement for rigorous definitions of observation, observers, etc.?
It’s not just you.
Please explain the disconnect. In MW, there are many future "you" (or "I"), all of which will exist. The fact that they do not share information with each other doesn't change the fact that they are all you (or I). There isn't a single branch you "end up" in, you are in all of them.
I dislike the title of this post which is different from the title of the article it links to. Pythons are not evil and they are not good, and a python definitely doesn't invade anything.

A bunch of morones with more money then sense and an infantile itch to scratch, decided that importing predators from a different continent is s good idea and now the state of Florida is facing the consequences. Not a snappy headline, but this is what this is.
My wife and I have just done a great little tour of an eastern part of the Everglades from Gator Park, and the airboat captain talked about the python problem.

There were audible gasps when he mentioned that it’s thought the pythons are responsible for a 90% reduction in indigenous species over the past 20 years.

When I asked him what they’re doing about the problem, he didn’t seem to know much, so this article is both very timely and hugely enlightening!

It also suggests that this topic needs a lot more awareness.
Thanks tobi <3

I remember hearing you mention my talk when I was back at Shopify a couple years later (context for others: my first internship I was in grade 11 but I went back 2 times, Shopify is great) and realizing that at many other companies giving a talk in front of everyone about design flaws in the CEO's code would be a career limiting move. But I think it's a testament to Shopify's culture that this never occurred to me in grade 11 and in fact it was instead appreciated.

That means branch counting matters, which means there has to be some way for the universes to communicate the results of branch counting with each other. Otherwise there's no mechanism for probability to arise.

If you try to fall back to the position that the probabilities are somehow inherent in the interaction between all the universes, then you may as well dispense with the universes and just say the probabilities are defined by a hidden non-local (i.e. not Bell-violating) interaction in this universe.

Because otherwise you still have to explain how a split (or differential propagation or whatever you want to call it) in one location generates an entire universe instantaneously - i.e. faster than c - while preserving state that is beyond the event horizon of the current location.

There's a kind of sleight of hand about the argument. You can just about imagine multiple copies of a single particle existing along a foliated timeline. But when MWI people say "What splits is the wavefunction of the universe" they're just handwaving.

The wavefunction of the universe doesn't exist as a testable abstraction, and even if it did, are we supposed to believe that it's the only physical entity discovered so far that can ignore relativistic limits? And even if that were true, it implies that the wavefunction of the universe is somehow perfectly deterministic - which is unproven at best.

Those are all very strong claims to be making. In fact (IMO) there's a strong whiff of handwavy nonsense about the idea.

But I have the luxury of not doing this for a living, and I'm very happy to be proved wrong by people who do.

Observer independence - and observer relevance - seems to be a separate problem.

It makes sense to talk about the split propagating. A subsystem which is spatially located at a distance from the splitting event will not immediately become involved in the superposition, but may do once information about the event has traveled.
