I have to reply just because this is so bizarre. Just last night I had been conceptualising a product just like this in my head... right down to the “viewer” nodes which are a representation of their children. However I was thinking that instead of having a rich text node you would have a viewer node and each paragraph, heading could be its own node.
To be fair, even if your claims about the market are true, books could still be niche. The reason is that books cost $20 and take a few hours to read, so let's conservatively say publishers are making $5/hr of reading time. YouTube is making pennies per hour of video watch time. So if it's true that the revenue of the book publishing industry is approximately equal to that of YouTube, then the average person is spending vastly more time watching YouTube than reading books. In comparison, books are still likely to be incredibly niche.

>> Each time there's a decoherence, there's a universe split.

Or, the universe was split before and that quantum uncertainty is really us perceiving those already-existing other universes. The collapsed wave is really just us measuring the only particle, the one in our universe, capable of stronger interactions. Under that interpretation the rest of the electron shell is a cloud of other electrons existing across universes but unable to interact strongly in ours, literal ghost particles.

They should invite F1 world champion rivals Hamilton and Vettel (or the next generation Leclerc/Verstappen) to come race. That would be a fun showing and put this question to bed. The skill difference between 2 world-class drivers would surely be less than between 2 uncalibrated drivers like the ones we see here. The Leaf driver could be much better than the Tesla driver for all we know.

The Leaf driver is a car journalist who was able to keep up with a Porsche in a less powerful car. [1]

The Tesla driver is Jitosho Hikari, who is a rally car driver. [2]

Your argument is bad and you should feel bad. The status quo is stupid.

So the Chrome team wants to make their own users safer. Good for them. In the absurdly stupid scenario where sites are making cookie-mediated blind cross-site POST requests, they'll have to come up with a better interaction model. Once we figure out who these hypothetical idiots are and whether they exist at all, we can all shed a tear for them and the extra 7 hours of work they'll have to do in order to adjust. But in the mean time, all Chrome users become immediately immune to an entire class of vulnerabilities. As far as trade-offs go, I'd take it. Good on you, Chrome team.

Sure, site owners can't just relax yet and call the problem transparently solved; legacy browsers will continue to exist for years. But that's hardly a reason not to make progress.

The spec compliance argument is utter nonsense. You know what else broke the spec? Ad block. No-script. Popup blocking. Private browsing. Third-party cookie blocking. Pretty much everything that has made any particular browser "good" has been a deviation from the spec.
I wish there was something like expect that was like, "ok I've done what I needed to init, now get out of the way." I've always had to create a loop that just reads and writes everything eventually. Maybe I could ldpreload a tcl interpreter and change some pointers but yikes.

Interesting that Bill points out in particular the poverty and hardships of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Interesting because it once had 3000 medical facilities and over 300 hospitals. Something like 80% literacy rate and 60%+ school aged kids attending school. The largest middle class in all of Africa, slavery was illegal (though that doesn't mean it didn't happen). This was of course when it was a Belgium colony. There were 80,000 Belgians living there. There was a massive infrastructure of trains and roads. Many diseases that kill tens of thousands now had been nearly eradicated through vaccinations.

Quite a far cry of how life is there now... Belgium was going to transition away and give the Congo it's independence, but the Congolese people had no patience for that and began getting violent. This led to a premature departure with a weak and new Congolese government. What followed was civil war and complete destruction of all infrastructure and means of living free of poverty... A sad story for sure. You can't blame the Congolese people for wanting their independence and certainly the Belgian people didn't treat them as equals (segregation wasn't the law, but it was a common social practice). I sure wish things could have worked out better. Though the Congolese people didn't have autonomy, quality of life was far better.

Be careful what you wish for:

Has the Mystery of Skyjacker D.B. Cooper Finally Been Solved?
Oh, absolutely, nothing wrong with fun.

The problem I have with the focus on 0 to 60 drag racing is that it says nothing about the quality, safety, driveability, real world driving performance, longevity, efficiency, suitability, reliability, features, range, autopilot quality, charging performance, insurance costs, repairability, repair costs, handling, etc.

In other words, it say nothing whatsoever about the things that actually matter for CONSUMER STREET cars.

I mean, back in the 80's I built a car (Pontiac TransAm) with a massive six litter V8 and equally massive supercharger sticking out of the hood that, quite literally, blew up both rear tires after --like a fool-- drag racing someone three lights in a row. And I do mean "boom!" and both tires blew up. I have no clue what the 0 to 60 was. All I know is that thing was a beast. And I also know it handled like crap on anything other than a straight line, it was a death-trap in an accident, and it was useless for anything other than behaving like a moron on public roadways. I am thankful that I outgrew that phase of my life very quickly.

Today I go to the race track a few times a year to drive fast on road courses, where real performance has very little to do with 0 to 60.

Which also brings up another important point: Most people are far more likely to kill themselves and others with a car that can accelerate as fast as some of these electrics do. People don't have the training and, therefore, lack the reflexes, to instinctively know what to do when a car gets away from them and they find themselves sideways staring at a bunch of people on a sidewalk.

Do we want electric cars to be compared along this axis? No. Beyond reasonable performance, say, 6 seconds, it's irrelevant and possibly a dangerous trend.

I think the problem is that people have trouble shedding the illusion that particles are small balls on 3d billiard table.

If they accepted that the wave function with all it's weirdness is the particle they colud get a better feel for quantum mechanics.

Funny thing is that Schrodinger equation that describes how wave function evolves simplifies to classical movement equation if you consider "pointlike" wave function.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrenfest_theorem

There's no need for thinking that there's a collapse of the wave function and then some little ball pops up that's governed by different equation. The equation is the same. Just a lot od terms can be simplified if wave fuction is small and sharp. Just like there is no collapse when you slow down from relativistic speed even though you can now skip relativistic terms in equations and still get mostly correct result.

In machine learning we have many more models, all being imperfect. The ease of trying out a new model makes them cheap. Hell, we even do AutoML and search the space of billions of possible models. They are all approximations, we don't 'understand' reality. We can only do useful things with them, but there's a limit to what the models can teach us about the metaphysics of the world.
Many Worlds is not "a colloquial expression for wavefunction entanglement." Entangled states are part of the mathematics of QM, not a feature of an individual interpretation.

MWI distinguishes itself by omitting (as you say) any notion of "collapse" from its axioms. This is appealing for simplicity but the problem is how it connects to experimental results:

1. How does the Born rule arise? If the universe split into two but the measure of cat-dead is 1/pi, why do I find myself in the cat-alive universe more often?

2. More generally, how does randomness arise? MWI contains only deterministic axioms, so how can it explain the experimental observation that measurements of similarly prepared states result in different values?
>And plenty of countries manage incredible amounts of diversity. India has 50 official languages on its own, and that’s ignoring dialects and weird subgroups.

Indo-Aryan is spoken by ~74% of India, with Dravidian spoken by ~24% of India. So in practice the real-life language diversity is very small.

As for 'managing diversity', India has historically 'solved' this through a caste system, not a solution I would propose.
Maybe they are doing it for a reason? Suppose you are 16 now and choosing a profession. Due to exceptionally long training times for doctors, you will become a doctor so will make good money, by 30, which will be in 2033. By then, most boomers will die off and the demand for doctors will collapse, so you will find yourself will a million dollar student debt and no prospects of employment good enough to repay it.

It's cyclic.
OMG memories of when the reg went from the XT to Micron catalog! Trust me, research library patrons would have revolted had you not done your job admirably as you had ;)
This was a few years ago. The chaos was partly because of a lack of ownership: one team owned inputs, the other owned outputs, and there wasn't a clear spec. The whole pipeline was pretty experimental and people made up new semantics as needed, and were happy to change failing tests (or just added untested codepaths behind boolean flags in existing functions). Compile-time type checking would've enforced a greater degree of rigor about modeling what was happening and made clear all the ways existing code could be affected.
Are you saying that every speaker of an Indo-Aryan language can understand every other speaker of an Indo-Aryan language?

Sure, as long as the gust is mostly vertical (usually true), and you're able to maintain below Va. All of the up and down motion in a serious thunderstorm can easily cause you to exceed Va or even Vne. Many aircraft have broken up in flight because of this. Now it could be that in many accidents, it wouldn't have mattered how strong the wing was -- eventually the speed build build up to the point where a big gust would break it, but I'm sure there are many where say an extra 50% strength would have made the difference.

Now that's also not to say that if you're going to add weight to an airplane in the name of safety that the best place to do it is the wing spar, but there is certainly a tradeoff between safety and weight.
This isn't Chrome going against the spec. This is the spec's author (who happens to work on Chrome) changing the spec.

> * I am not looking for political battles here or to spread propaganda from either side. I am not sure that a Tibetan store in Berkeley CA is a neutral and accurate representation of Tibet's history.*

What do you think is an accurate representation of Tibetan history? I've also been to Dharamshala and spoken to Tibetans in exile. They also echoed similar views, which I'm guess you will now discard as being unrepresentative of Tibetan history.

> The starting point is that geography makes access to the Tibet region much easier from the East and North than from the South. So-called "Greater Tibet" extends East and North East quite beyond the current Tibet Autonomous Region in China.

Greater Tibet is a made-up concept. It includes places like Arunachal Pradesh where Hindus outnumber Buddhists, and Hindus themselves are outnumbered by Christians. The same width Ladakh. It's just communist propaganda to justify a Chinese land grab.

> Perhaps as a consequence, Tibetan are ethnically closer to East Asians than to South Asians (I think that is visually obvious).

Thank you for your opinion, but I'm not interested in 18th century racist tropes.

> Their language is not related to Indian languages and neither is traditional clothing.

I like how you dismiss the fact that their script is directly derived from Brahmi but consider their language very important. For the record though, plenty of languages related to Tibetan are spoken in the north and north east of India.

Also enlighten us on what you think traditional Indian clothing is, and what traditional Tibetan clothing is.

> Historically Tibet has had close contacts with China and was periodically under Chinese vassality/rule since at least the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century.

Yes, the Chinese have repeatedly tried to invade Tibet. If you think that is a claim for Chinese culture being close to Tibetan culture, I don't know what to tell you! Do you also think that French culture is similar to Arab culture because the "Holy" Roman emperors repeatedly tried to invade Jerusalem?
That's interesting. I know that they used to be a lot more. Perhaps we should be glad that most of the bridges we drive over were built before FEM, and they just used a lot more steel.

How did you conclude that there's no need for thinking that there's a collapse of the wavefunction? How does wavefunction collapse arise from the Schrodinger equation?
Either the algorithm is implemented incorrectly or it is very inaccurate, in the demonstration. Try drawing the simpler shapes and it often recognises them as something else entirely, at a rate that seems worse than most other recognizers.

If you're hoping to do cold applications, the primary goal should be to increase the number of companies that you find interesting/appropriate. You have to take the Long haul and track every company, not just companies that have openings for you now.

The biggest tool I use for cold starting lists is 2 identify any company who sends a speaker to a conference, that presents on a topic you enjoy. the name of that company should be tracked on a site like LinkedIn. the value in tracking the company through a site is that small companies change their names over time, medium sized companies get purchased, those tracking systems will update for you.

For every company you find, it will become easier to find more once you get past a threshold.

next is to add companies through your network, this can mean any company that has an employee from an educational institution that you came through.

I found that regional job listings, and surprisingly Craigslist, have much higher response rates and real listings then major listing sites.

Finally specialty listings are valuable as well. RemoteML and angel.co are examples of specialty sites leveraging a smaller community.

Aggregate all of this list of companies 2 a site like LinkedIn. Do this throughout your entire career without brakes.

> I think that's a very unfair framing of the issue. He invited Epstein over. Epstein brought his 'assistants'. It's still a question mark whether they were even prostitutes, let alone prostitutes operating in any sort of non-consensual capacity. What we have here is simply that someone at MIT speculated whether they were being trafficked. There is no evidence at all that their presence was anything other than consensual.

How is it unfair? Have you ever been put in a position at work where it even crossed your mind that associates of a guest your boss invited might be sex trafficked? Have you even heard of that happening until now? We are talking about a truly extraordinary situation; can we not agree that if you have to even consider the question, something is very wrong?

The focus on whether or not they were correct about these particular women being trafficked is myopic. It’s 2019, and we have the benefit of hindsight: Epstein was indeed still sex trafficking. This instance may or may not have been an example of that, but ultimately the Media Lab employees’ fears about him were borne out.
