Reading as somebody who is not in the field, and writing this down to read the responses of those who are more qualified:

How I understand it: the "computation" is actually "sampling" the cubits? And then sampling results in the sets of random numbers, which don't have uniform but some specific distribution (specific for quantum effects). Then they claim that such a distribution could not be achieved using classical computer so fast, if the classical computer has to do the simulation of the cubits. And therefore, they claim that their quantum process is better.

But couldn't one do a similar conceptual setup even before, e.g. measuring some noise source (e.g. a semiconductor based diode etc) and then claiming that measuring the source is faster than simulating on the digital computer the analog behavior of the noise source?

The interesting step here is that the source is not a single element but a set of quantum qubits, which is much harder to simulate, but on another side it appears that dealing with the behavior that doesn't allow e.g. Shor algorithm on the same setup is avoided by decision to do what was done.

Seems like a clever trick, but I miss in which aspects it makes the hoped-for outcome (e.g. breaking some crypto keys using Shor) in any way more achievable than before.

Please don't assume that I really know what I write, but consider this as a possibility to explain to the not fully informed public which however shows an interest in the topic.
Your response is confusing to me. His son telling the story 70 years later hardly qualifies as boasting. I'm not sure what is short-sighted about the first black man hired by IBM helping other blacks get hired in an era of not just systematic, but explicit and open racism. Perhaps you're saying it's short-sighted if he got caught or brought in unqualified people, but he was no doubt keenly aware of the stacked deck against him and wanted to help level the playing field for others. This strikes me as more altruistic than short-sighted.
Compromised third party libs are absolutely not “an unexplored area around security”. It’s a super well-known threat.
One of the big advantages of climate change is that no one has to be jealous of the future people that will be immortal. They'll have it worse than us or maybe they won't exist at all.

I would probably use an SQL-like database with a submissions table (id, title, url, sender, date, points), a users table (id, name) and a comments table (id, author, date, parent, submission, color, content).

If you prefer using maps, for each table (map), use id as the key and the rest of the fields as the fields for a structure used as the value for each entry (using a C struct, or a Python tuple, named tuple or dataclass, assuming these languages).

You may want to use the id field from the HN URLs. You could drop the submission field for the comments.

Edit: You also need to decide how to handle edited, deleted and flagged comments, and dupe and flagged submissions.
Except, again, that doesn't solve the problem. They go to jail for a year or two, become a handful for people in prison to handle (whom are not equipped to handle people with severe mental illness), are released and then the cycle continues. Or even then, those inmates are admitted to those same hospitals because where else do you think people get proper treatment?

None of this discussion solves the actual problem at hand, it just deals with the symptoms. Eventually the problem will become uncontrollable if you just ignore the actual damn reasons why people with said issues end up becoming homeless or violent in the first place.
the story is more of business drive than competition (imo):

which side of the company? i "dealt" with AWS "support" in the past, where they were super eager to send us a representative and sales deals at the beginning, then it was probably 2 orders of magnitude higher turn around interval when it came to technical issues.

to be fair i'm not sure what their retail help setup is.

we were a small fry spending wise so it's ok, but let's not kid ourselves, they aren't pro-customer after you're on the platform unless you're throwing around serious cash.
> This whole genre of articles confuses me. Is the message be open to new things? Is it about other investors feeling regret for things they've passed on, or worry about the things they didn't? I don't understand this at all.

Myth-making, mythologising. The genre is "business, but written as adventure/thriller" I guess? Comes across as attempts to imply that it's all epistemological. It's just turning things into a good story though, you're maybe reading too much into it? (Although every one of these I've read seems to go something like:

"I should have been terrified. But I was calm, I knew what I had to do. My whole life had been building up to this meeting with Corpocorp.

The team was gearing up for the battle that lay behind those huge frosted glass doors. I looked at them, and tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. 'Goddamn' I thought, 'this is the best bunch of guys ever put together for business purposes', and my heart swelled with manly pride.

Joe Spiff had been my first hire. He was the best money talker I'd ever met. I looked at him now, laser focussed on the dollar bill held between his fingers. This was his routine, I'd seen him do it a hundred times. He'd sit and stare at that bill for ten minutes, unblinking, not moving a muscle. Then he'd just...crush it between his fingertips, quick as a flash.

I am actually not too sure whether it matters. The amount of people that have the skills to implement such a solution is not that high. There are are only so many people who can do high performance kernel, encryption and networking work.

They might give the advantages away if they release everything, so that others can simply deploy it or offer it as a hosted solution. But the pure documentation what they did are more like advertisements for interesting engineer work @ Netflix.
Your talented classmate chose a good high-paying profession - what's the problem with being a dentist exactly?

> People coming from underrepresented backgrounds don't want to spend 8 years doing a Phd, then a ML bootcamp, all so they can make low 6 figures at a job that could be outsourced or H1Bed at any minute when they could instead go to medical, dental, or law school and have a respected and well paid career.

OK. So what? I think it's reasonable for people to decide they don't want to spend years in a PhD program.

I'm having trouble parsing your argument. Are you saying the pipeline problem is due to minority students choosing other more lucrative professions? Good! What's wrong with that?
I'm not sure if you're trolling, willfully missing the point to be contrarian (trolling), or just missing the point. Multiple entities makes a distinction in this thought experiment.
You only need one result (the latest) at any given time, so you allocate room before your loop, set an atomic indicating that a calculation is in progress, then have exclusive rw access to that memory.

It’s a really old trick, lots of unixy APIs returning strings or objects that you are not expected to free do a similar thing (function local static variables to storing results) at the cost of not being thread-safe.
I think it's important to state that one of the reasons she opened another store was because her family forced her to retire.

That's not correct at all, there's no rule requiring companies to go public.

And even if he didn't need cash, an IPO creates an incredible opportunity to use shares as a currency to fund high-dollar acquisitions, which he has most certainly taken advantage of.
Netflix is not bypassing the FreeBSD kernel. They bypass userland for bulk data though --- with sendfile, and kTLS, their webserver (nginx) has to negotiate TLS and parse requests and open files, but then it's pretty simple.
Getting the big guys in the white suits with butterfly nets back on staff would seem to be a good step.

Well you can also just read the paper yourself in 10 minutes and see that it's not up to much. It still wouldn't be up to much even if all the authors were the squeakiest of clean Nobel Prize winners.
Makes sense. When reading the article I thought it implied that the joke was offensive. Apparently, it was Stallman's insistence on preserving the joke that was the problem, not the joke itself.

> a choice

It's a nice thought, and should probably be an option, but it won't be sufficient on its own, I don't think.

Would it surprise you to learn that many with severe mental illnesses do not voluntarily undergo treatment? A friend worked in a job training and support program, first with chronically homeless, and then with mentally disabled specifically. The single biggest obstacle most faced was their own unwillingness to accept or stick with treatment.

The homeless in particular that this friend worked with were untrusting of any program that might potentially hinder their autonomy- so they would show up for the free bus cards, food and job training, but any hint of medical support and they would disappear for fear of being taken off the street and locked up.

Most, given the choice between jail or treatment, would choose jail, simply because there was a defined time period that they would get their freedom back, plus no pills.
I’m all for the idea of incremental positive change. Yes, no individual person, city or country can fix this, but if our response to that is to be pessimistic, defeated and do nothing, then we all fail. Advocacy for cycling is one positive thing, and there are so many more.

The difference is that a premiere machine learning specialist from outside the country can work in the country immediately once immigration issues are taken care of. A premiere medical professional would still need to pass additional exams or certifications before they can work. Thus all things being equal, it is easier to replace a technologist from overseas than a medical professional.

There's extra work to build general purpose frameworks for Linked Data. It may have been hard for any firm with limited resources to justify doing it the harder way (for collective returns)

Dokieli (SOLID (LDP,), WebID, W3C Web Annotations,) is a pretty cool - if deceptively simple-looking - showcase of what's possible with Linked Data; it just needs some CSS and a revenue model to pay for moderation.

> It understands that "we don't share your data with third parties" is privacy friendly while "we may share your data with anyone" is a potential threat.

Does it understand "we don't share your data with just any old third parties", or "we're not like our competitors who may share your data with anyone"?
Open source software's definition isn't provided to us from the heavens. We've defined what it means. There's no reason to stick to that one definition we have - its convenient but please don't assume that the words we have won't change in meaning in the future.

This is human progression, trial and error, and societal evolution happening before our eyes. You won't be able to stop this, it's a natural process that drives society. All you can do is influence this progression.
I didn't say anything like that.
> Behind Objective-C’s message sending system (i.e. calling Obj-C methods) is some code that does a whole lot of stuff — including holding locks.

Only if your method is not found in the IMP cache. Trying to acquire a lock for every objc_msgSend would be quite slow.

> I decided not to mount an expedition into the source code because I didn’t know what to look for, or where to look for it, and I wasn’t even sure I’d even find it given that iOS and OS X are both pretty closed-off systems.

I like the Chinese room argument partly because it is démodé. I’m about 10 years younger than the author and it was taught to me too, but I recall finding it much more convincing than the instructor did. Certainly it was not presented as irrefutable or the last word on the matter.

I’m not sure why a Commodore should be any different than a more current computer as far as Searle’s argument is concerned.

Anyway, everything else discussed here is reprehensible.
This article fails to mention that ER departments tend to be underfunded; hospitals typically do not generate much revenue through ER departments and they are often blamed for losing money. There are many articles out there, this is just the first one I grabbed.

With little motivation to staff up, this seems like the predictable outcome.
Yes, exactly. When we first started the project, I was told that multiple IPs were not an option for that reason.
I highly recommend Axoloti. It has all the connectors ready to go, is easily expandable to write custom code but has all the boilerplate stuff and basic objects, so you can get creativity quickly without having to write and debug an envelope generator and filter, etc.

Or if you want to start from a lower-level:
Teensy 4.0 is amazingly fast. Teensy 3.6 will suffice. Nucleo STMH734ZI2 is great, too. Nucleo STM32L476RG is not as fast, but good enough for single voice synthesis or basic guitar effects. STM32 Discovery still holds up well.
Instead of outputting silence, you could output the same frequency spectrum as you were right before the event.

How does one detect whether it's a musical silence or a buffer underrun?
In a small startup the cost of one employee is usually much more than the cost of renting desks so I don't see how moving to work from home will solve the problem, cutting 20% from everybody's salaries will give you better results.
In our relationship we both don't really care for the friends of each other, it's just how it shook out and nothing we'd leave another over as we both allow each other as much time with our friends as wanted.

BUT this obviously reduces occasions to mingle anyway as it's just a bit awkward of a situation every time as it feels like we impose a burden on each other and our friends don't feel very welcomed in our home compared to other places.

We've just received our second son so it's currently time again to have all our friends come over which makes it very visible how uncomfortable this is.

Finding new friends is possible, but it is something that just has to fit in a schedule that barely has any space for even the bare necessities of life as parents.
Why is this relevant at all? Why is violence in an ER a predictable outcome of understaffing? That makes no sense.

No. Not against racism specifically, but against being gamed by trolls. In this case, there's nothing special about racism. If it wasn't that, the trolls would have gamed the chatbot to have it push anti-vaxxer talking points, or moon-hoax conspiracies, or just some random garbage.

Those companies are also wrong then. Stop justifying poor ethics by pointing at other examples of poor ethics, it's a race to the bottom.
I far I am concerned, the most crucial aspect is my mind. I think, but wouldn't know how to prove, that the information needed to satisfactorily copy a human mind is finite. You may not be able to replicate quantum states, but can definitely replicate bits.
Sure. That's typically in the vows.

I was more saying that people don't vow to be together "until I get a few promotions, you get fat, or I contract chronic FOMO-itis". Those who have expectations like that tend to be hurting themselves too.
