Try to explore a person like you’d explore another world. Consider that this person had just as much time as you in the day, and they filled it up with other stuff. Why did they choose to focus on X, what do they find so appealing about X, what nuances or locations do you not know but they have intimately experienced?

Adult people, after all, did a lot in their life. Why not get new perspectives?

It also seems you don’t do a lot of physical activity, sports, or developing yourself in that way. You may motivate yourself by looking up to people in an area you truly would like to improve in.

“We are all idiots, just on different subjects” - who was that?
The comment is unworthy of the achievement.

Kalman filters are used in many, many things today, including your smartphone's location and motion sensor processing. They are very important and have added a whole lot of economic value since being first used for Apollo.
thanks for clarifying. I thought it had to do with the caliphate
It looks exactly like it would in the latest version of Chrome and is not dependent on Qt's Webkit version.
This is a popularization of things already published in open papers, so it does not reveal anything specific about their activities. Any place employing deep ML practitioners could have written this.

It could even be a red herring, as the most popular application of batch norm is to Deep CNNs, and those are mostly used on computer vision problems. CV does not seem important for option pricing, which is AFAIK Jane Street's big money maker. Of course I can be very wrong about this. People have tried image data as auxiliary inputs to financial data. Or you can apply Deep CNNs to 1D data like timeseries - see WaveNet applied to timeseries forecasting.
I talk to a lot of small business people and a question I usually ask when they bring up the subject of new laptops and such is "how long can you be without your laptop if if breaks?"

Usually the answer is that they can't be without it at all.

So I never recommend Apple laptops for business owners unless they have a spare... a spare "anything" will possibly suffice especially if everything they do is online.

I only tend to buy Dell business laptops: great build quality and a 3-year next business day onsite warranty are worth every penny imo: Not as flashy and fancy as the XPS stuff but they have/had quality issues (as the commenter below mentioned).
It does for realtime. This article only cares for audio, but with realtime jitter is the worst problem of all.

Comparable to memory failures, segv, out of bounds, ... Usually caused by a HW problem, but sometimes SW is at fault also.
Correct, in any specific case. But Apple's playing a repeated game, and any given customer is playing a one-time game. Apple can reap the deterrence benefit in future cases, but the customer doesn't really get any reputational benefit from playing hardball, and so has to evaluate the wisdom of suing or not suing based on the outcome of just the single case at hand.
Decentralized Bulletin Board
Stuff like this makes me glad to live in NYC, but it does kind of depress me that it has to come to an explicit law, and moreover even more annoyed that it was ever legal to do that in the first place.
Right answer.

While a unikernel might be structured to some extent internally into modules, it's basically all linked into a single blob and running in a single address space. Some programming languages may support some kind of PL-level separation, but there is no hardware enforcement. In the case of what Ali is doing because all the code is written in C (it's all Linux, glibc and memcached) there is neither software nor hardware separation internally.
Sounds like you assign value to people who are pushing on the boundaries of human knowledge and/or have a PhD. That’s fine but many other people have many other ways of valuing people and relationships (for example people who value helping people). My wife doesn’t have a PhD nor has she made any groundbreaking leaps forward in human knowledge but my interest in her and the immense value I place on her in my life is something that cannot be quantified. And separately, there are some amazing PhDs out there but I’ve also met tons of PhD that weren’t anything close to impressive. And conversely, have met some people in my industry that could run intellectual circles around other PhDs (seriously).

I think you may get more out of life with a more open mindset. Things may surprise you. That being said, you value what you value, we don’t have to like it or agree with it.
Yes they are. Modem is an abbreviation for MOdulator-DEModulator which is what they do, they modulate and demodulate radio signals to digital and vice versa.

To further underscore your argument:

The current viewpoint of most animal control organizations (with the notable exception of no-kill shelters) is that euthanization is one method to achieve population control, neutering would be another.

The human analog of that would be "genocide". But yet, we don't use the term "genocide" to describe controlling the populations of feral animals.

>Neutering is the equivalent to, well, neutering someone.

Compulsory sterilization [1] has been deemed another form of genocide.

How would have you invested the money differently? Double the budget of the US military for one year?

One thing that struck me when I visited the CERN in Switzerland is actually how much of the money spent on fundamental research spilled over into the "real economy" through the byproduct of all the interesting technologies invented.
For me the obsession is with simplicity and theory, perhaps as much as the pragmatic effects.

Things become a little bit simpler (fewer pieces), with indentation syntax. I find that really beautiful.

As far as I can tell it can’t get any simpler than that.

I second this. I had debilitating underarm sweat and continually ruined shirts with pit stains. I switched from antiperspirant to a simple deodorant. I sweat SO much less in the arm pit area and I never sweat through my shirts anymore (unless I'm working out, of course).

Undershirts have been a good win as well - keeps the chemicals off my real shirt, and if you get high-end ones, they're light and breathable and don't make me any warmer.

I can't believe antiperspirant continues to exist as a product. Must be working for somebody.

The most impactful way municipalities could encourage EV adoption would be to subsidize the installation of chargers at work. For most people - especially if they have an ICE at home for the weekend - this would eliminate the need for costly home installation and charger hunting
The YAML approach seems far more appealing to me honestly, though I'm sure XML was a sane choice at the time.
I don't like PEGs: the choice operator makes it easy to accidentally create ambiguous grammars. The explicit conflict messages in conventional LR-ish parser generators tell you up front when your language is wonky.

> Tooling/Perf/etc is not needed when running (do you really want to debug in production) but tooling can be used in the process of development.

Whether or not you want to debug in production, reality often means that you will see things in a live environment that you will not see in other environments.

Unikernels are very interesting and have a number of compelling attributes, but let's not pretend that the current state of available tooling for troubleshooting, instrumentation, and general debugging isn't a challenge.
This is the first time, in my life, that I've seen an article criticizing Facebook's business practices without having a 'like on Facebook' icon.

Cycling’s Latest Controversial Performance Enhancer: The Supertuck
Yes, my point being that you are comparing a fully-managed service to something which requires you to perform regular operational work. Since the price is the same, that seems like you're effectively valuing your time as free while getting less protection.
Prometheus is great, but it won't tell me why that container gets "no route to host" when taking to that service. That's when I need a shell for running traceroute, tcpdump etc.
Yes, of course, but your comment is quite off-topic. We were talking specifically about the moon program.

Obviously, launch & orbital vehicles are critical dual-use civilian/military technologies (space exploration & delivering ICBMs).

In contrast, visits to the moon are not (at least for the near & intermediate future) dual-use civ/mil technologies.

Nixon killed the moon program when he got into office, and it is very unlikely he would have started one had he won in 1960.
There are tips out there to have 2-3 pairs of shoes and rotate between them since the downtime for airing out lets them last longer, apparently.

(Not sure if that also includes the soles. Soles can be replaced if the quality is there though.)
I'm learning to code at the moment (Python this summer after learning the basics.)

I kept talking to developers online to find out about their backgrounds as I don't have a CS degree. I figured as I was already asking people how they learned to code I might as well write up some proper interviews and share them with other people. This way I can scratch my own itch and stay motivated as well as sharing motivation with other people.

I consider myself a thinker but it's actually very interesting to think about people. It's important to realize that everyone is way more fragile and vulnerable than they pretend to be. Primal fear drives all of us, at different levels and in different quantities. Everyone's got their gaping blind spots.

I'm shy and introverted like the rest of you, and I'm not a good small talker. But it's naive to think of challenges as just technical challenges. In any organization, making change is a people challenge. Think about people.
>>"No matter how Racket evolves, the community is committed to preserving what we have achieved: today's `#lang racket` programs will run in the future

So to put it clearly, the current programs would run, but no new features, fixes and enhancements.

Basically you can't use it for anything production.

>>Every fancy new language you make in Racket has access to every library ever made with Racket.

Libraries, means more number of libraries for the same language. Not same number of libraries for more languages.
There's a lot of misunderstanding here about what "Independent Company" means. In the business world, it's understood as "not having shares that are traded on the stock market". So, SUSE is "independent" since it has never IPO'd; while RedHat isn't "independent" as you and I can buy shares in it.

See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_business for confirmation: "An independent business is a business that is free from outside control. It usually means a privately owned establishment, as opposed to a public limited company, the latter of which is owned by investment shares traded in the stock market."

Loro Piana cotton polo shirts are definitely not worth the price, the 645$ cotton/linen "jeans" definitely are.

Nothing by Loro Piana is bad, lots of the stuff is overpriced but many things are quite reasonable. After the LVMH acquisition they regularly offer pretty great discounts too.

>This is one of the biggest weaknesses with Selenium -- it takes a very narrow view of what testing is

Selenium/WebDriver isn't a testing tool. It's a a W3C protocol for remote control of web browsers. I think once you get over that misconception, selenium starts to make a lot more sense.
It would be nice to wait for the Audi EV offerings. I might have 12 months to wait but with a baby on the way I need a reliable car. Our 2004 Corolla is on its way out.

> I'll take a wild guess and say it's because your intellect is way more developed than your affect.

Interesting. I like that phrase.

> Meditation and psychedelics can help learning that if it's something you wish to invest in.

Meditation maybe, but I wouldn't recommend psychedelics to someone unless they knew what they were getting into. I knew some folks who had rough trips and were likely NOT BETTER people for the experience -- just DIFFERENT people.

What about Lampo, Raccagni or RiRi? You even see high end brands using ancient talon zippers.
I agree, but all of that is also true of a lot of papers in a lot of other fields. I've seen papers about better complex simulations of natural processes - I don't think I've ever seen one with complete code. I've seen papers that described the experiment and the results of their analysis with hand-wavy descriptions of which algorithms and statistical methods they used - but no code.

My point is that the findings of this article are not necessarily indicative of machine learning being junk science, but it's more likely indicative of a systemic problem with all research, where there's incentive to publish the paper, but not the data, code, models, or even generally enough information of any kind to successfully replicate the experiment more often than 10-15% of the time.

I remember when LIGO first detected a black-hole collision, they released the raw data and the Jupyter notebooks that were actually used to go from the raw data to the published results. Everyone was floored. It shouldn't be that amazing - it should be the standard. For every field.

We waste more in medicaid/medicare fraud than NASA's budget. If you're worried about bad investments, I'd go after the money going to dirtbag criminals who literally steal resources from the sick and needy before I'd go after NASA which has a long history of paying massive quality in life dividends from their relatively tiny budget.
Ah, but CZI is not a non-profit, it's an LLC, making it an even more efficient vehicle for legal tax evasion, PR, and power. It also allows Mark and Priscilla to make funding decisions affecting entire communities on a whim, without the involvement of cumbersome board members.
Developers Need to Understand the Business
1. In 2016, Rossman claimed that Apple was filing suit against him, and was seeking to shut down his YouTube channel. In actuality, one of his videos had shown a schematic, that Rossman illegally obtained, and Apple requested that the schematic be removed from the video. [0]

2. In 2016, Rossman claimed that Apple had a 4 Gigabyte memory chip buffer on their webcams. He speculates that this is due to a nefarious intent on Apple's part. In actuality, it is a 4 Gigabit (512 MB) chip that acts as a buffer. [1]

3. In 2018, Rossman claimed that Apple had contacted Customs and Border Protection to have his import shipment of Apple batteries seized. He claimed that they were genuine OEM batteries, maybe scavenged from old devices. [2] In actuality, the devices really were counterfeit. Rossman had contracted an OEM manufacturer to build batteries to Apple's original spec, which bore Apple's logo, most likely without Apple's knowledge. [3]

This type of elitism has no place in intellectual pursuits.

Think about it. If there is no expert in the room, then nothing is lost by openly trying to reason out the truth of the matter and seeing what sticks to the fly paper of reality. This is how new experts form.

If there is an expert in the room, they will be more than happy to point out issues, and attempt to offer points to guide the intellectual endeavor within the bounds of their expertise. This is also how new experts take shape.

The knowledge wielded by an expert is what makes them an expert. We call it expertise.

It is not the fact they are an expert that makes their knowledge expertise. The knowledge needs no particular person to prove itself useful.

An appeal to personal credentials as the primary determined as to the veracity of an argument is known as an appeal to authority, which is a very common fallacy.

There wasn't really an "incident".

Someone bothered to read the terms of service and noticed that they stated that you grant the app, the app's creator, and anyone else the app's creators chose, can do what-ever they like, when-ever they like, as often as they like, for as long as they like, with your photos and any other data they scrape from you as you use the app. This cause a bit of a stir, despite being pretty much what any similar ToS says.

And apparently the app creators are based in Russia which cased further concern to some.

I have a old dell vostro from their business line, it is now maybe 6-7 years old. I dropped it many times, use it in a garage and don't care about it. It still works well. Therefore, I agree that the dell business line is really great.

Also, I could not imagine our business having spare computers.We have 600 employees maybe now, and we need more and more computers as more users need to perform work on a computer these days.
I think its pretty well known that you can work as a successful developer without a CS degree. However , as someone who is currently working through a masters in CS (after working in software the last decade), I would say that CS courses (some, not all) provide invaluable foundation that would be difficult to obtain (of course you can self study CS). Sure — you don’t need to know how the OS works to write a web app that rakes in cash . But there’s something beautiful about peeling back the layers of abstraction : you gain an appreciation of how things work underneath the hood.
Logic only gets you so far, otherwise natural selection would've made sure it's the absence of Asperger's that's a disorder, not the other way around.

My theory is that the reason for these widespread ailings in American and other modern societies is that we're down in terms of average raw numbers of human interactions, compared to some centuries ago.

Emulation of successful people can guide a whole tribe towards the best path of action, no logic needed. But that mechanism is currently weakened because:

1/ There's only so much emotional understanding possible without face-to-face engagement. It's way harder to guess that someone is unhappy and "defective" despite an appearance of success without real-life meeting. It's way harder to know a certain way of life is detrimental if you've only seen that one. We have less "emotional" data points to pick from.

2/ Centralized dissemination of information (mass-media), isn't diverse enough for any kind of natural selection to occur. People instinctively know who to admire and emulate when they meet them, but unidirectional mass-media only pushes arbitrary success stories. Naturally selected role models are scarce.

Company policy mandates it so it gets done.
