Like the rest of my story I got super lucky and I don't think it's a repeatable path. I had done a small "research project" for course credit with a professor, but I don't think it counts for much and it didn't go anywhere. The way I got into the MSc was by emailing every single psychology / neuro professor at a university looking for a summer volunteer position! I was taking non-degree coursework at one after being unemployed for a while in order to upgrade my CV enough to get into a program. Back then I think I was aiming to get into something clinical. A new prof. at the time asked to meet with me for the position and then suggested at the meeting that I do a MSc with him. I think he was having trouble recruiting because the rank of the school was not very high. Luckily, he was also super smart and taught me a tonne. That was a research MSc. The professional MSc I am in now is quite new has more emphasis on coursework and not on machine learning research. It's a way for the school to teach a lot more students about deep learning without professors needing to dedicate too many resources to individual student supervision. There is no expectation to publish or anything like that, although there are always ways to publish if you are interested.

If you want to get involved in research projects (which I do think helps you land more creative jobs) I would suggest working your hard-core software dev background when you pitch potential collaborators. You would be very surprised to see the quality of code coming out of some researchers because there is little incentive to be a good software engineer in academia. The normal way to participate in research is to be in a PhD program but there are many other ways so long as you can work closely with people who come from a more traditional research trajectory.

Are companies in geospatial or government aerospace groups hiring people with your skills? Might be a first step?

If the record shows that the judge ordered the bailiff to shock the man, then it seems like a legal basis for suing the judge.

From what I read the judge didn't shock him, the bailiff did. So this seems like a loophole in the system.

Maybe the judge "nodded" at the bailiff? That would be bad if there is no real verbal order on record to sue over.

This seems like the beginnings of Mad Max or worse.

> Nuclear power is not without it's problems. It's capital intensive, it's politically risky therefore expensive, it can, when managed badly, lead to (typically, tolerable) contamination and harm to people.

When managed badly it can make an area the size of Europe uninhabitable, as Chernobyl might have done. You shouldn't discount that!
What do you mean by continued acceptance? If I remember correctly the US was one of the first western countries to abolish slavery.

Also, history vs present are two very different things. Germany has a history of being a nationalist genocidal state, but you wouldn't criticize Angela Merkel for speaking out against antisemitism or nationalism.

Many apps turn the microphone on and leave it on. Even if they aren’t recording it all or having somebody listen, it is clearly to spy on you to see what you are doing. (Ie did you hear some ad?)

That’s not a conspiracy theory, and it is practically indistinguishable from constant listening for the normal person.

Does GS do HFT itself? Is there a conflict of interest?
Well it sounds like a lot of money, but probably isn't even THAT much for GS.

Fallout from nuclear bomb testing has nothing to do with waste from nuclear power plants - why would you confuse the two?
Amazing. Like clockwork.
I just have a nitpick with your analogy to feedback loops.

Assuming the market can be said to have a Nyquist rate, then once you hit that you have all relevant information. Increasing the sample rate past Nyquist does not make a system more stable unless you have a very specific system designed specifically to take advantage of that. More typically, it just increases your noise-bandwidth product and can decrease total system stability and accuracy.

You don't even need the solar panels themselves in order to see the effects of perverse incentives. The Kyoto Protocol defines "bioenergy" (energy produced by burning wood) as carbon neutral. As a result, in the EU, they're literally burning up forests for energy, under the banner of environmentalism.

To me this is incredibly ridiculous, millions more dumped into the brain draining maw of finance.
You need to carefully read what you are quoting.

The microphones are in the houses 24/7, connected to power and the internet. That is creepy.

There were also several creepy situations involving these devices:

* Google home had a hardware flaw which actually made it record 24/7.

* all assistants activate by mistake when they think they recognize the activation word. Siriously.

* An Amazon Echo recorded a private conversation and sent it to a random contact of the owner
Yes, I think most people would consider 35 too late to stop one career (where you might already be making something of yourself, but aren't satisfied) and start another (that you might actually love).

With reasons ranging from too risky in terms of expected cost/benefit, to you can't learn as quickly, to family obligations won't give you the time or energy required.

I personally think the learning speed one is bunk -- even if your brain slows down a little (debatable), it seems more than made up for by experience in how you learn most efficiently, on top of general life experience.

So lists like this help remind you that you still can, if you're so inclined. For more inspiration in the creative direction (e.g. writing like in this list), see particularly the well-known book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. [1]

In stock exchanges at least, what you describe is called spoofing. The regulators are not friendly towards it, because spoofing enables to skew price discovery.

It's generally hard to detect and hard to prove, but there have been cases where the regulators have proved sufficiently well that in certain cases, there were orders never intended to be executed. And yes, if you get caught, there are sanctions.

Does rtg-math run on an ATSAMD51 Cortex M4? Didn't see anything on the github to suggest it does, but maybe I missed it. Or is it just a well optimised device-non-specific math library? Does it work with uLisp?
Huh, that's really interesting. Is that listed anywhere on the site? I don't know why they didn't just state that front and center, rather than what they have.

And even so, they could do it in a lot friendlier of a way than what I had quoted.

Is there any reason Kleenex, Coke, etc. have not faced this? Kleenex seems much more generalized than Velcro. Or have they? Has any company actually lost their trademark due to generalization?
> I'm a bit torn because I'm firm realist and I believe no matter how bad life is, it is the only thing that has a value for you because it's the only thing you have.

I find this to not be self consistent. you would trade two boring work days for one awesome day right? Two bad weeks for a happy one? There has to be some long tail of uncomfortable days that you would rather enjoy on a shorter time frame, even if the long tail is unknown length. Might a warm send off not be preferable to difficult times ahead?

Sorry for your situation.
Ethics isn't something you can learn in a classroom, a college professor can't teach you the difference between right and wrong or good and evil.
I always have a ton of problems getting C binaries building. Java and JS are generally super easy. Python and Ruby somewhere in the middle. Kinda a proxy for cross platform compatibility I guess.

Some projects now just build in their own docker container. I hope this becomes more common, it's always a single click build no matter how many crazy dependencies you need installed.

Indeed. It's unfortunate that any useful communication channel is a vector for advertising/promotion and is ultimately destined to be so overridden by spam that we're forced to take drastic measures.

If this weren't the case, we'd be able to use a single channel for all of our notifications, but every time a channel gets overridden by spam, we're forced to shift to less noisy channels as our primary focus of attention. Rinse and repeat.

Hopefully we're able to establish and enforce meaningful cultural norms surrounding the exploitation of these channels and demand simple sophisticated granular filtering mechanisms before we adopt intensely immersive and liminal technologies which ultimately encase the entirety of our existence in a cacophonous chamber of commercial cadjoling.
I just posted this here since I was astonished as to how many of the utilities I use on a daily basis were made by the GNU project - I knew about many, but there's things in this list I would've never heard of otherwise.

Nice work. There are a lot of benefits to daily mood tracking like this and I think you have an opportunity to go further in how you allow a user to track their feelings beyond 'good' or 'bad.'

> when a cat wants to show it's comfortable with you, it will look at you and squint its eyes.

Having grown up around cats I have to admit I routinely do that slow-blink myself, even to other humans. My wife thought nothing of it until I pointed it out when I caught myself doing it. Not being a cat, she didn't read anything into it previously.

Yes, especially when other armies were still on horses, food was fast to spoil and foodlines were hard to maintain. Planes were too, so were satellites. Still are. Any sufficiently advanced technology gives you an advantage and serves as a deterrent, especially when no one else has it. Giving it away is giving away your country and your allies' hard-earned, time-tested, long-term advantage. But that's just part of it, there are other factors to consider too. Huge unknowns on the horizon. The question is what is driving this play?

> And while Scientel clearly has high-frequency trading in mind—“the name that keeps coming up among industry sources is Citadel”—that’s not all it has in mind. It’s a tower that can send signals for lots of stuff. “Scientel has said it will equip its Aurora tower with 28 antennas—24 for public safety and municipal use and four for ‘private’ purposes.” People often complain that high-frequency trading encourages a socially wasteful arms race, and you certainly see some of that here, as lots of trading firms compete to put their antennas as close as possible to the CME servers. But another way to interpret this story is that high-frequency trading is subsidizing high-tech communications infrastructure for everyone else, building towers to send high-speed signals for public safety and municipal use just to justify a couple of high-frequency trading antennas.

Typical straw man argument. No one is arguing to put it somewhere and forget about it. Monitoring will of course be a big part of any of these strategies. The small volume of material has to be located somewhere safe for a few dozen years until reprocessing tech catches up. That is a manageable issue, assuming we get out of our own way and invest in the required R&D. It only takes the will and the commitment to get it done. The return is carbon free energy at a massive scale. That is transformative.
If you want to move a large amount of money into an asset, you either have to place bids and wait for people to take your order at a particular price, or you have to pay a slight premium to dig into the ask side of the book and pay more money as you consume orders and liquidity.

If you place an ask and the price moves down it might not fill, so you have to move it over time while the price slips.

People provide liquidity by seeing your new sell order and filling it quickly, or by leaving a large number sell orders that people can take immediately, which results in money moving more quickly and consistently.
This is especially interesting to think about in light of the whole school of self-teaching Knuth has pushed out into the world in fragmented pieces here and there.

"Ancient Egypt" describes a period of at least 4000 years.

>We really need mandatory ethics courses in CS.

That's an odd conclusion. Is there any evidence that ethics courses helped in any other industry? I can't imagine Apple developers are unaware about privacy concerns because they weren't taught ethics in their undergrad.
The responder likely brought up Epstein given that he was front and center in the discussion of PizzaGate as it erupted as were the Clintons, Podestas, Marina Abromovic among others.

If you have the time to look into this conspiracy, there are interesting links that should absolutely be explored and understood more.

I guess that's technically correct, in that it's difficult-to-impossible to "know" about someone else's subjective experiences.

On the other hand, painful stimuli tend to (e.g.) increase a person's heart rate and blood pressure, and that the proper anesthetic plane blocks those responses, so it's clearly doing something in the moment. What we don't know every well is the mechanism of action for general anesthetics.

Indeed, although you wouldn't just use 30km/s of delta-v to cancel the Earth's orbit, or 12.3km/s to escape the solar system. The Ulysses probe for instance used a gravitational assist around Jupiter to not only counter Earth's 30km/s orbit, but establish a counter-rotational orbit around the sun.

My understanding is the ideal target would depend on the time you wished to launch, and the orbital phase of planets useful for gravity assists.
It's concerning that the QAnon Movement is labeled as a threat, considering his main message is to encourage people to just ask questions and hold the government accountable for collaborating with the UK and Italy intel communities in order to spy on US citizens.

This is confirmed factual information, all online at qmap.pub, but Q just asks questions and anons dig for information? Why is open source intelligence a bad thing? I understand this is a problem when people storm businesses and break into places, but outside of that how is it a threat unless Q is actually on target and the intelligence community and Obama administration did something wrong?
Yes, documented.

I don't subscribe to Pizzagate, but I suppose it's because the stories around both are _similar_ (international cabal of abusers), it's just that one was fake and a long term play to try to scare people out of voting for Hillary Clinton.

I changed careers at 34 after working in food service and starting my own restaurant. I decided this "Internet" thing had legs and started teaching myself. Got a job where my boss realized how little I knew, and paired me up with someone who has become my best friend and mentor.

Before the switch, I was used to working insane hours, and I had little money (due the failed restaurant). So I was hungry, no family to support, and in a perfect situation to go for broke.

Today? I could never make the same changes. Supporting a family, and a wife with a career of her own. A mortgage, and retirement in a decade. All these things limit the amount of change you can (or are willing to) take. So I put my curiosity into hobbies etc.
I don't see the part of that paper that explains that people "expect" the same things; that there's some "normal expectations" in the population, which is what the OP is arguing.

There's a funny thing that happens every time an article on autism comes up on this site where a bunch of commenters state they have some degree of autism. This aligns perfect with the OP's argument: everyone is "normal", but I'm not. I'm special.

It's why "normies" is a thing. Everyone sees everyone else as "normal", but they're different. I wonder why that is?
