Some camps don't gift much, and that's fine. But yeah the whole setup only works because so many people are giving things. For starters there would be no artwork if people didn't give - artwork set up in the playa or on a mutant vehicle is also a gift.

It is unconditional in the sense that you just give without asking for anything in return.
Limited to a numeric sense, multiplication is an operation which began life as repeated addition, and which had to then be extended in various ways as we extended our number systems. We know, for instance, that integral multiplication x * y provides the area of a rectangle with sides of length x, y. This applies without modification to the rationals and reals as well, so we know from this that multiplication remains consistent without having to rely on the concept of repeated addition.

Similar extensions happened with negative arguments. At a certain point, pure intuition vanishes, and instead you are left with the task of simply creating a set of rules that define a consistent mathematics. Often times, the approach you take is limited by this very requirement; our mathematics is only consistent if a negative multiplied by a negative results in a positive, for instance.

This topic hints at the gap between applied mathematics rooted in concrete reality, as it were, and theoretical mathematics, which of course deals purely with abstract structures.

"Or launching nuclear weapons based on the advice of AI"

That's the crazy thing about hypersonic nuclear weapons... A bomb going from Russia to America in under 5 minutes, who else is going to decide than an algorithm... Knowing world peace is partly ensured by mutually assured destruction :s

(To be clear, I'm for a moratorium on hypersonic nuclear warfare, for sure.)
I'm familiar with fossil albeit not the technical details.

Mine is not a version control system and it doesn't actually store files. Rather, it maintains an association between filenames (absolute paths) and sets of tags. There are some tradeoffs with such a scheme, but my priorities were that it should be non-invasive and keep filesystem access to a bare minimum. Something that you can use to organize a cluttered nfs-mounted NAS without actually moving the files (in case you later decide the system is not for you, everything is in the same place as before you started.)

It's basically a relational 'card catalogue' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_catalog)
Thanks for the info! Unfortunately I've never seen any sort of Tesla in Japan anywhere. Maybe next time I go to the UK I'll see if I can rent one for a while.

A couple of quick points: the high pitched whine of the Leaf is actually a recording. It's legal requirement of all electric vehicles in Japan. All Japanese cars have exactly the same sound when accelerating, no matter what the make or model.

I've never had any trouble with the gear indicator light. But then, there are only 2 gears :-) Forward and Backward (and it beeps when you are going backward), so I'm not sure I've ever looked. I've also never had any of the problems that you describe with the navigation screen. However, I'm pretty sure that the Japanese version of the software is totally different. I've seen videos of US versions of the navigation unit and I don't recognise it at all. It seems a shame. The biggest problem I have with the Japanese software is that adding way-points to your journey is insanely confusing. But other than that, I don't have any complaints at all. Especially, I have never noticed any issues with FPS.

The charging infrastructure in Japan is all controlled by Nissan and Mitsubishi (joint venture) and it is incredibly good. There are none of the issue that it sounds like exist in the US. Controlling the charging infrastructure seems like it's going to be a very important battleground, so Tesla seems to definitely have the upper hand there. I'm curious to see what Toyota does when they roll out their all EV cars (which should be soon, I think... possibly at the end of this year???)
There are an awful lot of random Wikipedia articles being posted lately. Some of them are interesting and on topic, but this one? Come on.
I'm not exactly a compiler engineer (I do program analysis research, frequently with LLVM as my base), but here are some things that come to mind:

* The LLVM ecosystem is an absolute godsend for most instrumentation, analysis, and optimization tasks. The project provides an excellent tutorial on writing LLVM passes[1] that I refer to daily.

* The compiler blogosphere is full of excellent resources, including Eli Bendersky[2], Trail of Bits[3] (fd: my employer), and John Regehr[4].

More accurately, it’s a colloquialism.
The terms “atypical” and “edge case” are not meaningful with a single sample size that is also the only known observation. There is only the one sample and that’s all you can observe. There’s nothing to compare it against to give “atypical” and “edge case” meaning. Individual samples can be meaningful in a larger distribution, but you still need multiple samples to establish any distribution at all. I think you are referring to outliers within the distribution.
I think it's meant to be an insult, so that seems appropriate.
And speaking as a Mondrian fan, his work actually has a lot of subtleties that are only apparent when you examine the canvasses closely.

Photographic reproductions (like the framed posters in my house) do not reveal the details of his technique. Which supports the point that sometimes, what seems simple is actually complex, and what seems complex is actually simple.
Intel's Open-Source VP9 Video Encoder Got a ~3x Performance Boost
Certainly true but decidedly not unusual. To the degree I'm a climate change skeptic it's largely because everyone seems to be using it as a stick to beat some political horse.
Adjusted for inflation, paying $10 now and again at years 10, 20, 30 and 40 is better than paying $50 up front would be.

This ignores the economic realities of how projects of this nature are funded. Once projects reach a certain scale, it's much easier to find $50x once than $10x multiple times, especially when that $10x spend does not include costs that may increase over time, such as labor and regulatory compliance.
This ticks a great set of checkboxes but at least for me it misses the critical ones because it can't be run on iOS or Android devices.
Shock Video: Suspect Allegedly Smashes Bowling Ball into Man’s Head
Can't say I agree with it but the thinking goes that taxis are an alternative to owning/using your car so are privileged in various ways like this, dedicated short-term parking in ranks etc. It's not _only_ rich people who use taxis, so the thinking goes. (Rich people are also banned from sleeping under the bridges, just like poor people...)

When Uber et al took all the value out of the expensive taxi number plate one of the few ways the government had to compensate their owners is that advantage they still have, so they haven't leveled the field there. That conversation might open up the entire concept to evaluation though.
"heat the food, not the oil".. A Smoke Point is not the issue, it is well before that, when heat breaks long bonds in the whole oil into shorter, less digestable and less nutritious forms... quality oils are a secret to long life ! conversely, low-quality and "broken" oils will wear and pollute the body over time.. personally, I use water during cooking for many whole foods, and add oil at later cooking stages (which takes practice, and is not a universal recommendation)..
Sure a full treatment would require a few hundred pages, at least but I believe my point that 'not using any synthetic fertilizer because we will eventually run out of natural gas is probably inane' stands despite the relative simplicity. Subsidies or no, a farmer with x acres will still try and maximize yield (and $$$) from those acres.

I don't know how the money flows in a group practice with one doctor and everybody else is not, but I'd be curious about how it works.

Thank you for your response, but honestly, can't they see for themselves? Why would they need to believe anybody's claims if they can just listen to what the guy says?

Personally I suspect that most people do realize, but they choose to ignore it and that's hard to empathize with.
If you're steaming food and then adding olive/avocado/walnut oil afterwards, well, that's fine, but you are not cooking with oil, exactly.

Don’t Hack Back: Call the FBI and They’ll Call NSA
A lot of music appreciation involves an arc of progression. In Jazz, for example, complex solos sound like random wankery to the person beginning their journey.

But after you acquire a grounding in the basic forms like blues and rhythm changes, then suddenly, more complex music stops sounding random. It makes sense when played with the simpler music as a backdrop.

Then after you’ve listened to that for a while, even more complex music suddenly makes sense. And so it goes for a while.

Then you listen to a simple piece again, but you hear something in the simple piece that you literally didn’t notice at first. The complex music has trained you to notice a certain note or phrasing, and you realize that what you heard wasn’t simple, it too was complex, but it was complex in a subtle way.

Music is not absolute. It is a conversation between performer and audience that changes both.
I'm self taught on compilers. I focus more in "how" do stuff.

1- Focus on AST transformations. A lot about parsing but that is the "easiest" part (using a parser generator, pratt parsing or combinators).

In the AST is where the "action" is. I even made my toy langs without parsing at all (I build a small internal DSL).

2- Not expect much information about the real neat stuff.

How make repls for compilers??? how enable debugging?? how represent AGDTs?? How test them??? How do FFI??? Which data structures to base on the rest??? How profile them??? How do type inference?? So, which GC to use?? How implement a GC?? How implement macros and generics?? ie: without lisp. How implement generators?? etc.

A LOT you will find in papers. But real examples??? Never.

So I think if you wanna get serious learn how read papers. I don't get the weird math them use and my ignorant impression is that VERY few have real information even if understood. Have the abstract math is small potatoes at the time of implementing.

So many times I get answers like "is easy dude" and pressing how "just read how the LLVM is made!".

3- That is why I'm very glad of

http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/category/language/
http://craftinginterpreters.com

Real gems here.

4- You need to read lisp, oCalm & Haskell if wanna get some good ideas. I'm using Rust and the little is there (ie: toy langs) is good!

5- I don't know what to do with LLVM and other larger codebases. Too much complications and when done in Java, .NET (except F#), C or worse, C++, codebases the noise is big. Is much clear the samples on oCalm, Haskell sometimes, lisp sometimes.

Or in other words, small/medium compilers are better to get stuff.

6- Semantics & features. This is the meat. The toy math calculator is too easy. In the moment you wanna do OO, Lazy, AGDTs, Streaming, Structural type system, etc is where you will see how sparce the actual info is. So narrow the kind of semantics/features you look for.

Just add this or that could lead to MASSIVE changes in how do the language.

For example, I'm doing a relational language (http://tablam.org).

Is not that conventional, and a lot of info is from the RDBMS guys, and that mean a lot of detour about STORAGE/ACIDs and not actual languages!

6- Finally, pick your host language with care. Probably compilers with transpiling not matter much but your host will define the boundaries of how and what your could do "easily".
Virtue Signalling May Annoy Us. But Civilization Would Be Impossible Without It
That's your choice and nobody is criticizing you for that. Nobody is telling you to go buy records. Other people are allowed to spend their time and money how they see fit. That does not make them "hipsters" or wrong.
That's just not true. Being trained in a relentlessly stressful environment means that you're less likely to be creative, thoughtful, and empathetic in the solutions you come up with. It can also lead to learned helplessness -- a sense that things must be done the way they've always been done, because there's just not enough time and space from others to do things properly.
Also the book is hilariously written. Very dry humor throughout. Definitely an interesting read.

How can Schrödinger's cat be both dead and alive?
Whoah. He goes for 360+ pages before even touching the titular subject of his book. I would have preferred a simple glossary of terms, or maybe just release 3 books instead of one? It sounds like he wants to teach this book in schools, but as a student, I could easily imagine the professor telling me to buy this whole book just so we can study the last 400 pages. I think it's a waste of money when the professor asks me to buy an entire book because he or she just wants to look at a few chapters.
The motorbike taxis existed way before Uber, and they will probably outlast whatever subsidies they are getting. The only way to shut them down is by law (which is how southern Chinese cities are getting rid of them ATM).

Tuktuks are also a great last mile alternative. Maybe a bit safer and more comfortable than riding behind someone on a motorbike.
what does "look drunk" actually mean tho? it's a bit of a weird property...
How politics makes us stupid (2014)
Is this a Science Fiction story?

Typical scam, stuff in a stack of new technology, aka Drones and robots which have nothing to do with AI and tell a fiction story.

AI is the magic wand that makes them all do magic. Solves all the logistical issues.

Yes, one day AI will change everything, including war, we all know this but since it's currently used for nothing, we literally don't know what it will do or when. Something quantifiable would give the story value.

AI might stop all war. AI might come way before robots, so AI might use humans as it's solders, or maybe it won't.

Nothing to see here, or is this practice on how to scam money from the defence department or VCs in general?

Butter is an interesting product because it's made from churning the cream. When you initially get the butter solidifying, it has a lot of whey trapped in it. When you make ghee, you are getting only the fat from the butter -- so you have none of the water and none of the whey proteins. This means that your yield of ghee is often much lower weight than the original butter. You can actually buy butter with almost no water left in it -- but it's also about 5 times the price ;-). I have some cultured butter that I use sometimes and it's actually a bit frustrating because it doesn't foam like cheap butter will -- because there is no water left in the butter. Anyway, while you will probably same some money making your own ghee, you'll probably be surprised at how low the yield will be if you don't start with super expensive butter to begin with.

As I vaguely understand it, both combination and separation have played important roles in evolution. Combination, for example, in that the nuclei, mitochondria and chloroplasts of modern eukaryotes derive from initially separate organisms.

Many eukaryotes carry transposable elements, which are DNA sequences that exploit DNA and RNA machinery to create numerous copies of themselves in the genome. That is, they're like viruses, except that for the most part they don't get transmitted, except through cell replication.

But I believe that there are examples where transposable elements do get transmitted like viruses. Or sometimes as parasites on actual viruses. So that's separation. And there are also examples, where viruses become integrated into the genome. Sometimes reversibly, as with HSV, which is why you can never really cure an HSV infection.

Anyway, it seems most likely that simple stuff evolved first, and then combined into more complicated stuff. But the simple stuff has survived, to some extent, as transposable elements and viruses.
It says in the article

>India’s law sets a higher bar for protection than in some other countries, limiting the ability of companies to get patents for new versions of drugs whose active ingredients were previously known unless they can show significant therapeutic benefit.

It's not ignoring patents, it's setting a high bar for them. You can't rehash old medicine and patent them.
> However, we lack an intuitive understanding of why the equations work.

I think the word mechanism captures what you are describing. We have a set of equations we know work, but we have absolutely no idea what underling mechanism gives rise to those equations. It's like the position ancient seafarers were in: the could use the sun and stars to navigate, but because they had no idea of the mechanism behind their movements they were happy with the idea the world was flat.

It's not a good state of affairs because understanding the mechanism yields far better predictive powers than the mathematical equation describing what happens. For example, we had good equations describing rechargeable battery degradation. But until we understood the mechanism, we were just stumbling about in the dark on how to improve it.

The reality is, no state will be able to deter a major adversary in a future war without automation being a significant part of how decisions are made. Conventional (aka non-nuclear) offensive and defensive capabilities, across air, space, land, maritime, subsurface and cyberspace move too quickly to rely on "old" methods of defense and attack.

Modern technology also allows us to be faster, cheaper, safer and more accurate, things that everyone wants from militaries worldwide. The goal of automation/optimization is as few and short of engagements as possible.

The only thing better than no war is a short one.

Love react hooks (along with TypeScript)

Just for the sake of readability. Easier to grok. Perhaps all along though classes I had were just making inefficient/incorrect use of lifecycles though.

React's lifecycles still mystify me. I can't tell where and how renders come from. If there was an easier way to trace it, it'd be nice.

I'm making use of `React.forwardRef` and `useImperativeHandle` also. It's neat because you can forward information from a inner component for "direct" access in its parent. (https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#useimperativeh...)

My pitfall is variables inside callbacks that used to be "live" are stale upon invocation. So if you have a complicated components where you fishline callbacks, it doesn't behave the same.

In my case, the solution was to wrap the callbacks in `useEventCallback` https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-faq.html#how-to-read-an-often...

Ok. None of those have had any long term negative outcomes. What was I supposed to imagine?
Agreed. There is a bit of a market for compiler/ML cross overs ATM (at MS, Facebook, and Google at least). But you need at least a PhD or 10+ years of experience.

PL isn’t really a hot area ATM, including implementation. Even formal verification jobs are a bit hard to find these days. Perhaps it will be more popular when the next AI winter comes around :).
