rationals, because they are continuous (in that you can always get closer...)

You sort of can't get arbitrarily close. And that's the whole reason calculus doesn't work for rationals.

Rationals fundamentally have "gaps", and correspond 1:1 with integers.

What do you think of supporting email/sms to enter items into a master queue?
I suspect that the effective techniques are known (or "known") to some practitioners, but buried among a pile of ineffective techniques, with different people swearing by different techniques based on their experiences. Similar to how traditional medicine can be a mixture of genuinely important treatments for local medical circumstances and completely ineffective treatments that happened to be (spuriously) correlated with good outcomes.

You're quite right about how it looks from the outside; the possibility that I'm just experiencing my own set of spurious correlations is real and worrying. But ultimately there's only so far that I'm willing to overrule my own lived experience.

I wish I shared your confidence about future progress. There have been good and bad managers, and good and bad communicators, for decades, but we don't seem much closer to a generally understood method that can be applied by everyone.
Ours do sit in the same open-plan desks the rest of us do, but naturally (as others have remarked) they spend all of their time in meetings anyway and don't actually USE their desks. And again, naturally, they have a whole bunch of meeting rooms and 'private collaboration spaces' marked off for their exclusive use.

Not quite sure I grok what you mean here? Or, maybe better asked, over-represented how?
Google is not your friend. Google is a multi-billion dollar international corporation which sells advertising. It does have a good marketing team that makes cutesy artwork for it's PR campaigns though.
Reinventing UTM/MGRS again, I see.

The major problem with these as addressing standards, and with open location code, is that most people do not live or receive mail at a fixed location in the middle of the ocean. Most location codes encode an empty quadrilateral of ocean.

Addressing with efficient encoding needs to be dense in cities, and sparse in uninhabited wilderness.
The web page got really slow. I suspect it got viral and can't handle the traffic.

The demographics is worse than what is seen in the streets, because of the correlation between overweight and outdoor activities. The CDC facts are that 39% of the American adults are obese and 75% are overweight (including obesity). So overweight is the norm, and thin people are the exception. As the tendency is stable, I wonder if a "hidden minority" lobby will emerge in a few years, claiming that TV speakers and movie actors are too thin to represent the average citizen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_e6500

Freescale hasn't made a new low-power Power chip in a while, but... historically speaking, there were a lot of low-wattage / efficiency-focused embedded POWER designs.

I don't know what happened politically between the companies to use ARM instead. But I would imagine that ARM's instruction set was cheaper (or maybe easier) to engineer than Power ISA. Hopefully Freescale engineers can chime in on the discussion, because I'm really just shooting from the hip here.

I would expect most issues to come down to business politics. IBM open sourcing the PowerISA is also a business politics move (I guess they hope to recapture the lost ground in the embedded space).

PowerISA means operating with IBM's ecosystem: GCC, Linux, etc. etc. Remember IBM has merged with RedHat, so there's a lot of promise for Linux support that ARM and RISC-V don't necessarily provide. I think this is a good move.
"One of my biggest disappointments with normies is the way they use technology. Rather than exploring the wonderful resources we have on the internet, they have allowed themselves to become internet cattle corralled into Facebook."

It's possible that 'normies' as you say just aren't capable of doing the things you mention, due to a lack of intelligence or the necessary skills that were never taught or never learned during important developmental years.
> This is what happens in a tight labor market where someone can do whatever they want w/o any consequences.

Mmm, I dunno about you but I'll take it over the alternative.
What about it? It’s allowed. Do you not see the distinction? Inauthentic activity. Fake accounts. So no, this isn’t subjective censorship at all, that’s the point.
Or Mac, for that matter.

Interesting... so which is it? Is the "laid back" thing just marketing and they're running people around just like many other places, or do they things some other way?
If you stick a title attribute on an image, it will show up when you long press on it in Mobile Safari. This doesn't work with links, though, because it'll show the destination instead. Might I suggest just putting the submission time in parentheses, like "1 day ago (resubmitted 3 hours ago)"?

Yes -- the target for POWER is basically competition with AMD Rome and Intel Cascade Lake and you need to have extremely deep pockets to compete there.
I've hated that question since the 1st grade when it was 'what will you do (when you grow up)' No six year old knows the answer to that question and that's a lot of pressure.

Also, you're at a social event, where people are supposed to be pretending to be humans. Fuck you for making me think about work during my time off. With all sincerity.

If I ask people an ice-breaker about activities, I ask them what they do for fun.
Good point, I wonder how many times states have suspended taxes on gasoline during such times.

“This device can produce six to eight liters (1.6 to 2.1 gal) of clean water per square meter (of surface area) per day”

That’s really bad from a density standpoint. You’re talking ~8,000 gallons per day per acre of land. Solar powered reverse osmosis is something like 1/500th the space.

If the can get installed costs below 1$ per square meter it might be interesting, but even just land costs are likely to be an issue.
Many important NLP tasks have almost nobody publicly working on them

Well, then perhaps you should go work on them, instead of ranting here.
The program I am using is here: http://www.ndma.com/resources/ndm8543.htm

However, it doesn't seem to be updated beyond 1994. And it's missing some things from Augment like the journal. But the system itself is nearly identical with augment regarding the commands and stuff. Which is why I bought the chorded keyboard so I can experience it engelbart-style.

Toying with the idea of making a version of this in pharo smalltalk because I think one of the things that makes augment great is the customizability of it. Like emacs, if it doesn't do what you want, you change the code inline while it's running.
Have you ever needed image support? That was my main pain point against text editors and Git.
> POWER is a monster of an architecture, designed more for "big iron".

It's the same architecture as PowerPC, designed for desktops, isn't it? Have things really changed so much since then?
It's not actually that complicated. Anyone can distill ethanol with 12th century technology, all you need is a source of sugar, such as corn, fruits, etc, yeast, and a heat source. If you're getting fancy you can use enzymes but it's not necessary. The only downside is that the yield is low, and modern engines don't run very well on pure ethanol without modification.
As a good practice, does the user have to go to this page and “clear history” everyday, akin to brushing one’s teeth? Who’d even do that (not taking about brushing one’s teeth)?

Why not make it like a permanent toggle that says “never associate off-Facebook activity with my account (to advertise to me and sell me stuff I don’t need)”?

I don’t see anyone being creeped out or annoyed by “backpack ads” (as seen in that dramatization video of this feature) and still being ok with seeing continuous creepy and annoying ads for shoes or something else later.
> Infrastructure is invisible, as long as it works. And only when it fails do you realize just how much we are all dependent on it and how badly we are able to cope with such infrastructure being unavailable for any length of time.

I grew up in hurricane country. We are born and mostly live our entire lives suspended in a giant web of infrastructure and support systems. When you're born into it, it's natural take it for granted and treat that as the baseline. But every now and then you have an experience that makes you realize just how far down below the ground really is, how far it is to fall, and how few cables need to fray before people start dropping.

I'm not one of those doomsday preppers who seems to relish preparing for the zombie apocalypse. I think the much more rational approach is to strengthen the web itself so that we don't fall in the first place. But I'm definitely aware how quickly and how badly things can go.

Hurricane Katrina is the canonical example. Over a thousand people died in the middle of a well-developed urban area, in the richest country on Earth, from a disaster that everyone knew was coming some day. The hurricane didn't kill those people. The city and state's complete failure to engineer robust infrastructure did. If that same hurricane had hit an equally populated city elsewhere, the outcome could have been entirely different.
Music today is deeply meaningful, partly because of how it is produced:

Take one part modem noise, mix thoroughly with 2 parts bass and 1/2 part melody line. Serving suggestion: crank the bitrate way up to a full 96 Kbps!

/s

Lyrics are one thing that makes some music meaningful. If there aren't any, or if they are unintelligible, then that meaning is lost.
The 18-core has decent performance. If it weren't for AMD EPYC Rome chips coming out a month ago, I would have considered a Talos II.

18-cores with 4x SMT == 72 threads per Power9. That's a lot of threads, no matter how you look at it.

"Its propaganda outlets make Chinese leaders look like bullies."

I'm curious about how this is perceived in China. From other things I"ve read, plenty of people within China believe what the government is pushing - curious if that's actually true or if that's just from a biased selection of reactions.

Yup, I would just ask him outright how you can improve your working relationship. Being direct with people like that often might not work in the moment but saying things like “I don’t think we understand where each other are coming from” could get him thinking. It’s unlikely to work however so look to the job market while things are good.

Yes. The check will be in the mail upon receipt of a death certificate. But the form is at the confusion level of a stripper with a W4. Also for some reason we are going to have the postal service manage the reimbursement.
> For example, the copy on write (COW) mechanism of unix where memory pages are mapped to the same location until a forked process writes to one

That is shared memory – memory which is shared between two or more threads or processes.

> There's also Redux and Closure's immutable state tree that makes copies under a similar mechanism to COW but through code

That's also shared memory.

"Shared memory" does not necessarily mean "shared mutable memory". Rust, for example, statically prevents memory from being simultaneously shared and mutable (except through synchronization primitives like mutexes etc.). A pure actor-based language, in contrast, would prevent even immutable memory from being shared.
fp16 saves a lot of memory and is worth doing. I've not had trouble fine tuning all these models with fp16.

In Kempton steam museum they have the old backup generator which was actually powered by a water turbine from the mains supply (so indirectly powered by the steam engines). I'm hopeful that the modern system has at least as good redundancy but I wouldn't bet on it either.
Censorship breeds bad PR. Without an adversarial environment to train against, it's hard to generate propaganda narratives that resonate.
In A, Bob would have to be comfortable also sharing relevant information. True.

B does invite some discussion. Bob could raise concerns that he has other deadlines or doesn't feel confident in meeting the deadline.

C is the exact thing I'm talking about. It's infantile to a degree. Refusal isn't actually contemplated or considered. It's presenting a false choice to Bob. It's supposed to make Bob feel obligated to say yes because the request is so "nice".

It's a perversion of the social contract. And that's where people with Autism fall into a trap. By not being bound by the social contract, they toss away all of the baggage and answer the question on its face. It wasn't a question.

Why is "No" not socially acceptable? It's the answer to the question. Even now, you have to add that exclamation point to make it seem more forceful. Because you don't have an actual reason as to why a simple refusal isn't acceptable.

Don't ask questions you don't really want the answer to. Don't disguise your intentions in a way to make it seem you're doing something you're not.
Build a "review anything" site that uses incentive model of the NEO economy: anybody contributing a review earns Chrons that they can use on the site to read other folks' reviews or they can use them anywhere in the NEO economy, or exchange them for USD or Euros. The entries (reviews) will be accessible only to visitors willing to reward the review creators with Merits by paying Chrons. Chrons can be earned anywhere in NEO, which includes writing own review in this site you might buid, or buy them for USD/EUR. This way Chron currency will gain/maintain its value against national currencies.

Of course you will also earn Chrons for every hour of your work developing the site, but more importantly you will earn Merits as a percentage of your choosing from every transaction made in the site.

More info: merit.world. API is available to hook this proposed site into Rovas - the heart of the NEO economy. Use the contact there to get in touch.

this is coming before this year's end. First there will be auctions where people will bid their Chrons to buy euros we have allocated for this purpose. The exchange rate will be then used for regular currency exchanges.

p.s. of course the API allows builders to create any other solution that wants to use the NEO reward mechanism. For example, turning (FOSS) soc. network like diaspora* into "meritware" would be cool too.
I think I get what you are trying to express, but rather than "it authenticates the site to you", I think that should be phrased "it prevents you from authenticating at a site pretending to be some other site.

evil.com can still claim to be mysite.com and trick users into using their security key there, no?

It would presumably have to trick the user into "registering again" since there is no valid key handle for FIDO2 (not sure about classic U2F), but I doubt that users would notice the difference in flows.

The real win is that this spoof would still not give evil.com a credential scoped to mysite.com, but a user would be none the wiser that they are on a different site than they expect (which can still be problematic depending on the nature of the site).
If you can go to one of their stores I highly recommend it. The associate walked a guy to a shoe repair shop and paid for a zipper on a backpack they no longer make. This was after offering him a new one but he liked the old style.
Don't forget that MIPS also open sourced their ISA earlier this year as well.
What you're claiming is that every mind, absent of mental illness, can behave exactly the same way given the same set of conditions. To start with, I'd like to see any proof that you have saying this is true. As far as I know, we don't know the brain well enough to say that is true, but also as far as I know we know enough about the brain to say that is likely not true. If you know otherwise, feel free to link some sources.

The second thing I see wrong here is that you say "I'm not talking about mental illness" but you're talking about ADHD which is a mental illness [1] as is austism [2].

Brains are fluid, yes. Up to a certain point. At a certain age, brain plasticity slows down and changing behaviors becomes harder. This is why kids can learn so fast, but adults have a harder time. Other behaviors are subject to environment yes, but are still difficult to change. If I talked to a stranger and was then mugged by that stranger, I am going to be less likely to talk to strangers in the future. There is a whole field of science dedicated to overcoming these kinds of learned behaviors, and it is very difficult and time consuming. It is very difficult to unlearn behaviors we have already learned.

But ultimately, "if our survival is at stake" isn't the situation most people find themselves in. If I am socially awkward, I'm not likely to die because of it. I might be uncomfortable, but survival is not at stake. 100 years ago we would tie the dominant hand of left-handed people behind their back and force them to write with their right hand. Did it work? Sure. Was it necessary for survival? Not a bit. Did it cause more problems than it solved? You bet it did.

True, I suppose I was thinking of running full nodes, even then though it would just be a one time decent data hit for something like bitcoin. Still might be a practical thing for 51% attacks for currencies with smaller blockchains.

Fine, change my crypto malware thought to a distributed storage malware. Several years ago there were a handful of distributed peer-to-peer file storage and backup system programs where you'd select how much of your storage you wanted to donate to the pool and that would determine how much you would get to use in the collective cloud for storing stuff.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone had malware out there doing this for their own uses, if you had a botnet of 100k computers and took 1 gig from each, and had a 100x redundancy you've got 100 gigabytes of distributed storage for whatever which you might be using for your own backup or for file sharing...

Actually I bet you could do this for hosting stuff on the darknet, if you had a decent amount of machines on a botnet, say 10,000 machines, and needed just 100mb for your entire darknet site, you could have all 10,000 machines hosting it and serving it via 10,000 tor connections... interesting. This would be a hell of a plot device or potentially even a practical deployment for espionage use or general criminal activity. Have one machine somewhere under your full control randomly loading 1 or more of the sites at random to load the actual darknet site.
I'm worried that the (fairly) recent change to the DSM to lump the various forms of autism under the terminology of "autism spectrum disorder" will ultimately lead to more confusion by people as to what autism can be about.

Which is why in the article it was mentioned that many who are "high functioning individuals with autism" hang on to the term "Asperger's" (despite some trolls re-renderings of it) - as it was and is a label that, perhaps incorrectly, has been applied to that particular subset of autism spectrum disorders.

At the same time, we don't want to say that those in that sub-group only have issues with social skills and cues; the issues that such people face are much broader than just that particular area.

Also, we don't want the term "autism" applied only to those who are in that set either.

That is perhaps what the terminology change was about - the idea that by inserting the word "spectrum" into the diagnosis, and removing the individual terms, that people would see it more as a continuum diagnosis, much like Asperger saw it. However, people will likely tend to focus on the first word "Autism" and come to a different conclusion - maybe. Which is again why, I suspect, people have hung on to the "Asperger's" label for their particular subset.

Maybe there's not a good answer or solution for the definition(s)...

All of these sources show memory safety problems getting worse or staying equally prevalent, which directly contradicts the parent's claim that memory safety is "much less of an issue than it used to be".
