Thanks for posting this. One thing that I think really helps me is to have a reason for everything I do, better than pleasure/power/attention/toys, that is relevant to both the long-term and the short-term. So I know why, and that motivates me. One problem I might have had is too much motivation and I have had to adjust, to re-balance.

I have decided that direction is more important than speed. I.e., making sure the ladder of success is not leaning against the wrong wall (Covey), and that we are not running in circles, or spending our lifetime on mere shiny things. What do we want to look back on after decades, or at the end of mortality? I.e., good decision-making, keeping in mind the purpose of one's life. My purpose in life comes from my beliefs, but I think a next candidate for purpose could be joy, which I suppose comes from knowing one's nature, and from learning/growth, and unselfish service to others (helping them learn and grow and be well & happy).

So, balance while moving forward well, based the above, to me is much more important than getting more tasks done (though I am very task-focused when I am able, because the tasks relate directly to the purpose and related specific goals). This and other things help me feel peaceful and happy (life and learning are very much a work in progress, but some things I have gratefully learned).

I have written more at http://lukecall.net (a lightly-loading, simple site), including about development of and candidate content for maturity models for different areas of life (mental, physical, social, spiritual). Feedback welcome.
And perhaps because there is no good offline ui for git

So you end up using github as ui, even if you do not want to use a webpage
Are you sure it's easy to 'scrap' ? What if the plugins render something conditionally depending on e.g. the user agent or the current time or other variables? Faking a static website through a mirror doesn't work nicely.
That isn't running the full model.

I find it really amazing how complicated a modern piano is, and how they were mass produced in such high volume in the early 1900s. Apparently that's one of the things a large percentage of the population did before they had TV or reddit.
I haven't seen anything come back after I block it. But I've only been doing this for about six months. I use the "Block all posts from XXX" option.
Wasn’t this work done during the SolarCity years?
I do something similar, if someone asks "what do you do?" They usually mean "what is your job?" But, I will still ask in response, "do you mean what do I do for work?" Because there should be more to who we are and life I think, and I want to encourage others to think about that too. They may think I'm weird, that's fine.
No.

Personally, I learn more easily with MOOCs but retain more with books. Just want to know what is your preferred medium and why? Is there any research about it?

Most likely the NaCl crystals will have grown larger than the other salts and minerals, so the right progression of sieves will separate it well enough.
Amazon at least is out-competing a lot of retail nationally, essentially moving tax revenue from brick and mortar stores throughout the country to Seattle. So a lot of people not living in costal cities are getting screwed.
Maybe it has something to do with the domain I work in, or maybe it's just a problem with how software is done, but the expectation in my industry that there ought to be a relationship that comes along with the software.

Also, Open Source is not an answer to the last question. The majority of software users don't have the technical expertise to evaluate the safety of a given OSS, even if there's a community established around making recommendations — but even then, that's a trust relationship too.

Edit: maybe I should be more open minded. How is OSS a substitute for trust? Is it a redirection of trust to a group whose interests are aligned with yours? How do you facilitate that network without putting too much burden on the user? Are there any good examples of working OSS that involves non-technical end users?

FWIW Amazon Prime has been brutal about VPNs over the last few years, at least the ones I've tried. I'm still a Prime customer but even some Prime Originals can't be viewed in Europe and I haven't had much success with the standard (paid) VPN experience.

Apple, on the other hand, is happy to sell me anything from the US store and let me download or stream it anywhere in the EU when I'm there.

I imagine people affected by this make up a negligible part of the market, but I find it a compelling differentiator. Not that I'd give up Prime... in addition to the whole "ship to nowheresville" thing, Patriot[0] bought them this cinephile's loyalty for at least a few years.

I've been trying use this -- but the sync from linux is tough. Been using rClone from the laptop to push changes to gDrive but doesn't seem reliable. I need to manually remember to push the file. If the file changes on the phone and on the desktop, there is no way to auto merge them.
It looks more like automatic interpolation of values in version control systems from the times of CVS and SVN.
All of the gear I've bought from them has been better than the competition in some way that matters. For example I have a couple of sun hoodies from Columbia, and one from Patagonia, and the Patagonia ones cool actively even when there isn't a breeze while the Columbia ones require a light breeze for the cooling fabric to work. They're both great products but the Patagonia one is honestly worth the extra $20.00 or so.
We had power failures pretty often when I was a kid, but not usually for more than a day or two. That was one of the reasons we got a wood stove.

In our case, we were on a well so a power outage meant having to haul buckets of water into the house to flush the toilet.

Life is indeed not fair. If a person has to interact with two equally good people, but one needed accomidation, they would prefer the company of the other. Some get some value out of accomidating others but even then you end up in a relationship with an inequal power dynamic.

You either minimise the burdens you create for others and maximize your strengths or you live a lonely unemployed life dependant on others. Just solving even one communication issue can earn you goodwill with every single person you interact with.
I love sci-fi and grew up devouring as much as I could.

But honestly, reading the older sci-fi is painful when it comes to gender portrayals. When Heinlein represents some of the better portrayals, you know you have issues. Even the more liberal representations feel ham-fisted and vapid. It's enough that I've grown very leery of anything before the 90s, which is a shame because there's a lot of important stuff before then...but reading it pokes the wounds of too many sexist/racist older relatives (plus "is this what I'll seem like by the standards of a few decades in the future?") to let me enjoy the stories.
Also, if you add any noncomputable to a computable, the result is noncomputable.

Basically, since the reals were created by René Descartes, in a misunderstood attempt at numerical sarcasm, the number line has become infested with conceptual prions, or 'priorns' as the tabloids call them nowadays, that are worryingly both everywhere and conversely, far too small to detect.

If these priorns get into the brain tissue of a working mathematician, the neural substrates responsible for higher order mathematical abstractions and preferences for knitwear, can start to come up with really stupid number definitions, such as binary reals where every even nth digit is the nth digit of pi and every odd nth digit is from the result of an idealised coin flip.

If this should unfortunately occur to a mathematician in your area, the kindest thing to do is to try and find them a role in quantative trading and tell them that they are going to be working on something really important. The banking sector subsidises daycare office environments providing these fictional job roles, as a social service for those infected by priorns, as a way of providing thanks to the wider mathematical community for inventing all the numbers that banking relies on.

It is unfortunate to have to resort to such deceit, however by that stage in the pathology, mathematicians become constantly irrational and fintek is therefore provided as a safe and enclosed habitat where they cannot damage anything particularly critical to wider society. They may even thank you for the opportunity, the poor deluded things.
A particular interest of mine is database systems (and by extension, distributed systems) and I’ve noticed this pattern a fair amount when reading database-related CS papers. It tends to feel like a small circle of researchers citing each other. Don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t say much about the actual quality of said papers, but it’s a pattern that I’ve definitely noticed. As a result of this, I tend to also make sure that I pay attention to seemingly interesting papers with low citations; sometimes, it immediately makes sense why they have low citations, while, other times, I find myself fascinated by the research despite the low citations.
It's probably a software problem at heart though, if you include firmware level. Since VGA-connectors went out of fashion I'm still to use a projector that Just Works without having to use it 10 times before figuring out all its quirks.
I started working with Python around 2013 and I still consider Django the best framework to use. Yes Flask you can pick what you want to use but I have found the supporting libraries to be a bit outdated. Everytime I have used it I feel like I am just gluing together a lot of different pieces and it becomes messy. Django is constantly updated and I have little to no worries about security issues.

Edit: And I have been following new projects such as starlette which I have really enjoyed but I have not bought into the idea of why I need async database access.
SQS was introduced before S3, but the analogy might still be valid.

No, the problem is that std::vector still calls the constructor and destructor of each and every object in the array at least once. This is a performance loss if they don't do anything - you have to rely on the compiler to inline the call, then remove the code. For POD datastructures it can be significant, because those are usually the largest arrays in your application. This is why e.g. Facebook's Folly library detects POD types in their vector and doesn't call ctors and dtors at all.

Similarly, std::vector has to allocate more memory every time it has to grow and copy all its contents, whereas for POD datatypes you can just use realloc which can save copies.

These are all borderline microoptimisations, but they matter for realtime highly responsive software. Or just in general when you need to squeeze out every last bit of performance.
There's good reason to believe tons of sociological theories. The problem is figuring out whether the pro or con factors win out, and figuring out if you've nailed down every single factor.

Being simple, clear, and well-reasoned in the realm of people's behavior is not enough to give you very good accuracy.

The kind of priors you get by reasoning in a vacuum just aren't good enough in some realms. Bayesianly combining those priors with anecdotes doesn't really help.

Some ex-post theories are fine but I don't think you've hit upon the way to distinguish them.
I don’t get why anyone would use CentOS if they didn’t have to for some reason. I can understand using Redhat for “company” reasons, but why restrict yourself by running CentOS if you don’t have a real reason to?
Game developers like me go through stages of grief in reinvention of memory management.

In this case, what will eventually be reinvented is an arena allocator.

Having just researched this, Cap'n'Proto is a good implementation of one that suits game development needs: (1) flexibility, (2) no serialization representation for networking and AI, (3) mutability of primitives, (4) garbage collection of stale objects in lists (i.e. removed items) is manual, (5) constraints to prevent non-performant design, and (6) support for these performance-sensitive idioms in multiple languages, not just C++.

Migrating to an arena allocator is a completely different can of worms...
I don't recall "Good to Great" coming to this conclusion - it was the later critical pieces. (Poor guy - it was a lot of analysis!)

IIRC, the book "First, Break all the Rules" actually challenged the "Good to Great" methodology a bit on this point.

(The other point, IIRC, was that first you have to find the right questions, before the right answers can be considered).
std::move'ing a vector does not call the ctor/dtor of every element within the vector, but that might not be what you're referring to.

If you want an `A` struct/class, you'll call the ctor/dtor, that's true. But for POD types, if the ctor/dtor does nothing, they are trivial to inline and will incur no runtime overhead by any compiler nowadays.
That's sort of how it works in the automotive industry: one company makes the parts, one company assembles the car, one company sells the car and anyone can provide service.

The only downside is that there's a lot of overhead (imagine if a software project you worked on needed this amount of formality every time you talked to a UI designer or database engineer).
You could have read the document before spewing toxic FUD about the kind of things mentally ill people supposedly do.

Here's the section that addresses your concern: "All persons, including those with disabilities, have a duty to do no harm. Legal systems based on the rule of law have criminal and other laws in place to deal with the breach of this obligation. Persons with disabilities are frequently denied equal protection under these laws by being diverted to a separate track of law, including through mental health laws. These laws and procedures commonly have a lower standard when it comes to human rights protection, particularly the right to due process and fair trial, and are incompatible with article 13 in conjunction with article 14 of the Convention."
That pointer chasing benefit has been my experience on Intel, especially on anaemic low power designs. I'm more curious how/why Intel stops at 2 whereas Sparc/Power can manage much higher numbers. Maybe it's not architectural, but more just about product fit or something
Ah, no. Took me a couple of decades to learn to parse that, but, in fact, nope, it's not a solicitation for a preference, it's a direct command. Or, at least, it's been that every time someone has used that phrase at me.
Haha. Well done.
I never look at my own karma either but then I'm also not actively trying to increase it. But reddit users do tell us themselves that they post things specifically for the karma. They also do things like post screenshots of threads instead of the threads themselves to get the karma from those posts.

There is a whole host of behaviors on reddit around acquiring user karma.

For individual post karma, I'm the same as you.

For those who are non native English speakers: Getafix can be read as Get A Fix, meaning getting drugs that you need if you’re addicted to something. Getafix deals in potions. Always thought that was amusing (coincidence or not).
Can you elaborate why is it slow? Shouldn't it be faster tham `std::ordered_set` which uses a Red Black Tree as the undelying data structure thus proviing a O(logn) time complexity on the other hand `std::unordered_set` uses hash functions to `index` in an array and retrieve which essentially is a O(1) time complexity.

So we will know.
An open, high end CPU design is really going to change the cloud market. An ISA like this is a first step in that direction.

Facebook and Google already have their own compute projects and, like Amazon, have access to custom versions of silicon from a variety of vendors.

With a properly open CPU design we'll start to see the first tightly integrated, vertical "cloud" products that maybe still have a "commodity" API on the top (or maybe not?) but are custom all the way down from there.

With the end of Dennard Scaling, if not Moore's Law, Open ISAs and Open CPU designs will radically change both the hardware and compute markets and ecosystems over the next 5 to 15 years, similar to what we saw with Open Source in the 1990s.

Of course, it's not clear that POWER will be the one to do that, and RISC-V isn't going to be making a grab for Intel's crown any time soon, but this looks like IBMs bid to lead in that area.

When the cloud vendors start building systems like this they'll not look too much different from mainframes and IBM wants to continue to own that market.
Microsoft advertises their own products and wants you to pay for products in their ecosystem. They will shove the same stuff down your throat (Azure, Onedrive, etc) pretty much whatever you do, which means they don't have a vested interest in behavioral advertising.

Google on the other hand shows ads across the internet, so they have to track you a lot more intimately in order to make you buy a new toaster or whatever (I haven't seen online ads in years, so I don't really know what they're like).
It would probably work in a time where the marginal rates are too high to begin with. If we get a Democrat in the white house in 2020, then 2024 or 2028 may be the year of tax code simplification. ;- )
“This is a breach of contract action arising from years of gross negligence and failure to live up to industry standards by Tesla with respect to solar panels that Tesla designed, installed, and promised to operate and maintain safely on the roofs of hundreds of Walmart stores,”

Tesla seems to be the operator and maintainer. I would expect a contract has maintenance as a flat fee per year if it is anything like other contracts of this type.
This begs the question how do fish get water in seawater environments.
Don’t be so cavalier in shrugging off the person you’re responding to. This kind of national scale governance is equatable to “centralized planning” governance. You have to consider it from the local economy perspective, otherwise you’ll be perpetuating inequality in many parts that you don’t see.
Hrm, interesting... so it'd be less a product for common folks to judge others and move it almost exclusively into the realm of a thing to support advertisers who are hunting for "influencers" - interesting.

If you don't mind a little sysadmin work I've had good experiences with Dokku[1]. I spin up a Digital Ocean droplet or AWS Lightsail instance and it's my own mini Heroku.

It's great for side projects without the limitations of Heroku's free tier. Lots of plugins (Postgres S3 backups, Lets Encrypt certificates) are icing on the cake.

The same could be said about archaeologists discovering a lost city, since it wasn't always "lost" and was certainly discovered many times before. I guess the timescale gives the impression of a "fake discovery".

I've never understood these sorts of posts - surely at that point you just leave? You've effectively been fired anyway?

I mean, I've taken remote jobs for which I could well be living 200+ miles away. Saying 'come in to the office' - lol, sure, perhaps once a week or something for a catch up.

If my boss suddenly decided to no longer employ me as a software developer and instead "pivoted" to making hand grenades or something equally random, well, yeah, bye then?
>How exactly the large GPT-2 models are deployed is a mystery I really wish was open-sourced more.

TalkToTransformer.com uses preemptible P4 GPUs on Google Kubernetes Engine. Changing the number of workers and automatically restarting them when they're preempted is easy with Kubernetes.

To provide outputs incrementally rather than waiting for the entire sequence to be generated, I open a websocket to a a worker and have it do a few tokens at a time, sending the output back as it goes. GPT-2 tokens can end partway through a multi-byte character, so to make this work you need to send the raw UTF-8 bytes to the browser and then have it concatenate them _before_ decoding the string.

While my workers can batch requests from multiple users, the modest increase in performance is probably not worth the complexity in most cases.
Love this question. I like both.

I find MOOCs difficult to finish if there isn't a community angle + strong carrot or stick. YC Startup School offers carrot of getting into YC and the stick of having certain privileges removed if you don't attend group sessions.

I love books but find it's harder to read a book front to back when there are so many more engaging digital experiences out there.

Currently working on a startup called TLDR which summarizes the world's best books for startup founders and teams.
