Anyone have any insight into what he's doing as a business model? Basically having a fund, investigating companies (as you would have to do anyways to vet a potentially large investment) and then if you find malfeasance, corruption, etc. shorting the stock and exposing it publicly. You could probably pair it up with a management consultancy or something that could swoop in and charge a fee to clear out the corruption and get things running back on track if you wanted to go long on the stock too. I realize this may be somewhat like what activist investors do but I'm thinking more focused on corruption fully rather than just underperforming companies. Something like what Bill Browder did in Russia back in the day (and if you haven't read his book Red Notice, it's an incredible read, has helped lead to Magnitsky Acts around the world, but I won't spoil it)
I have a lot of fond memories of going to the local video game shop with my friends to look at boxes, or a mid-night opening to pick up Diablo 2 before a weekend-long LAN party. I miss the meaty manuals, that I still have for games like Baldurs Gate or X-com because they are just such awesome pieces of art and arguably part of the game story.

Things move forward of course, chains like GameStop killed that local video game shop I mentioned. I’m sure my children will have fond memories with digital downloads, after all it was the friends/LAN party that was the important part. So I’m probably just an old nostalgic git, but digital distribution will just never be my cup of tea.

Ask HN: What are some simple CRMs that work for a small venture studio?
Sure, for anything to even exist there must be a certain level of complexity.

But the OP's claim of necessarily complex is wrong. My claim of overly complex is correct.

The spectrum of under complexity and over complexity spans an entire gradient similar to a number line. While Necessarily complexity sits on a single zero dimensional point on that number line. Referencing this number line, By probability Overly complex and underly complex is infinitely more likely than necessarily complex.

Literally GE is using complexity of their accounting statements to hide fraud. That is a case of over complexity in the world of finance. That is not a necessity. You cannot get more definitive than this. That's why I was able to use such hard language because it's literally completely true.

Society didn’t lose out on billions, the government did. Whether or not that is bad is definitely a discussion worth having, but I won’t immediately conflate the two ideas. People and corporations got to keep money they may have otherwise lost due to auditing.

At a glance, I am okay with that, and the arguments put forth so far don’t really convince me otherwise, like the number of dollars per IRS employee is a meaningless metric to me because it doesn’t tell me what’s optimal for government.
Some time ago I looked into this topic, and in my opinion the blog post misses two points: (1) Conversion to gray scale won't be good because the scale is not linear, which is important for printing, and (2) In Jet (and also, Turbo), high and low values of a measurement don't map well to colors. This is well described in the paper introducing cividis [1] (check out [2] for code).

I'm suggesting if you studied finance you may have a different opinion. I haven't so I can't say for sure, of course, but it's hard to point in at a complex system from the outside and demand change without understanding it in the first place. It's like me walking into an operating room and demanding we "restart medicine" because it's "too complex." I'm not a doctor, who am I to say?
There's nothing to get here.

> most of these systems end up being over-complex

You've provided no evidence for this, and I give you the entirety of mathematics as a counterexample considering it is a quantifiably as simple as possible at every step.
I think you are overlooking one of the main reasons for avoiding Intel and AMD -- the ME and PSP, respectively. Intel or AMD has a master "skeleton" key that can basically unlock any of their computers post-sale, while simultaneously using that key to ensure that you cannot modify, replace, or remove the black box firmware in question.

If you trust Intel and AMD, without an SLA, to keep your data private all I'll say is that's quite naive. Even the HDMI master key leaked, do you really expect the ME and PSP signing keys not to fall into the wrong hands at any point?

Yes, the mainboards are expensive. That's the price of making them blob-free and still retaining high performance. Blackbird lowers that barrier to entry some as well.

Again, Rome has a mandatory PSP blob that cannot be removed (any UEFI toggles that say otherwise are not accurate -- the PSP must run before the x86 cores even come out of reset). If you're OK with that loss of control, my gut impression is that use of Linux etc. is just being done to avoid Microsoft licensing fees, not because of security or owner control concerns ;). At that point, why not just lease cloud space on a major provider that can offer that compute power even cheaper than a local machine which sits idle overnight?

Just because Markopolos will profit from his work doesn't mean his work is bogus. In fact, if his work proves to be bogus, he most likely won't profit, and his reputation will be damaged forever.

When GE people go on CNBC and make all kinds of carefully lawyered statements that sound like denials but aren't actually categorical denials, they're also getting paid.

The GE people get paid whether or not their statements hold up over time. Given that, I'd put more weight on Markopolos because he actually has skin in the game.
After reading this article I'm not sure if I read or learned anything new. The article tries to challenge the 10000 hours rule, but fails to provide details or numbers that suggest what other factors would be more important. It briefly mentions things like "talent", but after reading Growth Mindset I'm convinced that talent alone just provides a starting advantage. The book gives plenty of examples of that.

The article should highlight more what kind of practice they refer to and what they think is the main contributing factor.

I think to become an expert in something like playing a musical instrument focused practice and repetition is necessary, so having the right coach is extremely important.

However, the most crucial piece might actually be the passion or willingness to learn in my opinion.
Sure, that's totally true, however that's clearly not what's happening here. The budget is 11B, down 19%/2.5B from peak. This yielded a reduction in collections of $34.4B. That's a 10X ROI. We're not talking about negative or marginal returns here, which is what an AR department would write off.

You are correct. A trivial copy assignment operator makes a copy of the object representation as if by std::memmove. All data types compatible with the C language (POD types) are trivially copy-assignable.

I'm assuming because "it greatly enhances detail when color can be used to disambiguate the low and high ends" and "to make cases where low values appear next to high values more distinct".

What surprises me is how naive the scientific community publicly pretends to be on these matters.

Understand 3 Female Flirting Signals
The point I want to make here is it takes a bit of knowledge to understand female flirting signals but once you start catching those signals I promise you will find at least 2 to 3 women giving flirting signals to you every day and if you start responding to those girls than my friend you will get more girls than you have ever imagined.

For now take a look at some important female flirting signals Laughs more often when a girl starts laughing at very general and regular jokes you crack, than it means that she is trying hard to impress you. This is a very potential female flirting signal.

Pat on your back Have you ever noticed a girl patting on your back or cheek when you act a bit naughty, if not start noticing because it does mean 90 % of time that she is getting very naughty and seeking for opportunities to touch you.

Exposing Does she start exposing her legs or neck, when she is around you? Yes you guessed it what she wants you to do with her, it will often happen when you are in deep conversation with her so keep an eye.

Dramatic expression Does she give more dramatic expressions. For e.g. making faces, putting her tongue out to tease you or giving a strong eye stare? If yes than don't wait, just start giving her signals of strong male body language to get her attracted to you fast.

I can't give you exact evidence for over-complexity as the way we're using it in this topic is sort of hand wavy and not formally defined.

Mathematics is different. It is axiomatic and exact. In the world of proofs and logic, I wouldn't call anything overly complex. Theorems are necessities that arise from axioms. There's even debate on whether or not these systems are actually designed. Maybe they're existing properties of the world that are discovered and therefore outside of the topic of this conversation as we're mostly referring to systems created by people.

Either way, I'm talking about the worlds outside of mathematics and logic. Science, statistics and design. This world is rife with over-complexity. I can't prove it, but it should be intuitive.

If your a normal person you can most likely think of many, many examples where systems created by people are seemingly over-complex. If you can imagine this, then I would say for this informal dialogue that is pretty good evidence for the case that overly-complex systems are abundant.
As someone here said about Google some time ago: Gaming is just not in Googles DNA. I can see no way this is going to work out. The whole concept is odd.

At least PC gaming has evolved to a point where 1440p is about the norm, and 144fps is the refresh rate goal for enthusuasts, with 4k and 200+fps in sight.. and they want to just stream video? I don't believe a second that that'll be good enough for more than the most casual games. Be it compression quality, fps, mod support, latency. And then there's the surprisingly high price.

Also the name Google is about as radioactive as Epic has become, at least from a gaming point of view.

Even if GPT-2 were released, very very few would have the hardware to run it because of gpu ram running out (and doing some sort of load-unload system would make training times unfeasibly long). And those who have the hardware to run it, has probably already made a version of their own or reasons not to. So I'm wondering if this GPT-2 hype is a genuine concern of openai, or if it's mostly a PR flex to say 'Look at us, we made a good model!'.

As an example, look here by Nvidia

Doordash says they never keep tips; they pay drivers the full amount of your tip always, plus some extra if you don’t tip enough. You can argue that’s not the right way to look at it, but it’s hard to argue that it’s factually wrong in a way that’d violate labor laws. No worker is getting less of a tip payout than the amount you tipped them.

The way they have set things up, every github account/organization (the first thing after a slash) is it's own separate 'source' to rubygems. (I am sure they have done this because it would be inconvenient to integrate with rubygems/bundler any other way).

So you'd still need to add a separate source for each dependency hosted on github to your own project Gemfile. Including for each indirect dependency, knowing which indirect dependencies exist that need a github repo source.

If you could list this for the entire project... it'd probably be a performance issue as rubygems/bundler check every repo source you list for every dependency (including every indirect dependency; a Rails app has hundreds, still an order of magnitude or two less than a react JS project heh).

Even if you could only list "github's ruby registry" once (per project? for your account? and keep in mind this is hypothetical, you can't), it would still mean any gem expressing a dependency on another gem hosted on github would have to include in it's instructions "oh, if you use this, you need to manually make sure to add github to your sources. Or you'll get an error that says some gem you've never heard of can't be found, and have no idea how to fix it." Unless it's a bid to get _everyone_ to do that, and basically make github ruby registry a standard part of the ecosystem that everyone just always adds to every project.

I don't think there's enough/any value added by the github ruby registry to get the ecosystem to shift like that. It's unclear what it does that the 'standard' rubygems.org gem source doesn't do already (unless rubygems.org can't solve their recent severe compromised account security problems... but as it is, with the indirect dependency problem, I think github registry will be too painful to use even if you'd like to to escape rubygems.org security issues).

This has to do with the dynamic range of the plot - if the author wants to show the difference in a small region (say foreground or background or some region of the plot), clip the plot to that specific region to show it in a smaller dynamic range. Using a non-linear colormap to highlight differences in a particular region of the colormap defeats the entire point of having a colormap - its purpose to display data with perceptual linearity.
