Of course - think about schools with deep pockets compared to those without much; top talent will flock to these, leaving smaller/less wealthy schools. Today athletes weigh a lot of factors when choosing where to attend - academics, athletic program, campus life, etc. If this becomes the norm I suspect we'll see clusters of high talent in "rich" schools. I don't think that will be good for the long run.
I can see a top school accepting billionaires' kids by default, simply because of the prestige it confers on the school.

How is this much different than growing within a space station in orbit? Didn’t the plant grow in its own mini biosphere (soil) separate from the moon surface, essentially isolated from the lunar environment other than light and heat?

Most are going back on that. It is just that what is currently being sold was developped years ago.

Awesome, I've done some ML before. I'll just dive into the docs.
It basically means "hold cash", so visa, stripe, insurance companies etc. all get cash from customers, hold it for a period of time, and distribute it to customers.

Holding it for a period of time is "generating float." For many of these companies the float is a large multiple of the profit.
That follows if one person has their way in bought. It doesn't when more then 1/300th of the class does, and that would be 6 or 7 students at Harvard.

If they aren't interested in academics they don't belong in college.

We have a Peloton bike and treadmill both. I haven't watched too closely, but occasionally people ask about selling their bikes (or buying a used bike to save money), and the impression I get is that they hold their value relatively well. Then again, asking price != sale price. I'm trying to validate but all I'm finding on sfbay.craigslist is coupon codes and "Peloton style spinning bike" and so forth.
Can someone share some light on why NCAA doesn't want the college athletes to be paid?
Would this thing look different in person? Can the blackness of it be conveyed by my phone’s digital screen? If so, can we make an even blacker digital black?
I was a bit too succinct and therefore unclear. To rephrase, is there any meaningful difference between a booster paying players via the university or a booster taking their money to pay a player and doing it via a company instead? I understand the legal ramifications of who the payer is seen as, I am talking about the practical ramifications and whether a school having a player that is paid by a company rooting for the school (and with monies from same pockets) is meaningfully different. I'd say not.

How does an Individual Contributor (IC) have to worry about paying taxes? I’ve never worked at a company and had to worry about the timing of my taxes.

Save enough for 2 years? Only a very small percent could actually save 2 years worth of salary. For a family I’m not sure if anyone able to do this. The standard advice is 6 months.
I just used a pair of scissors.
I had no idea H&M was older.

I think it's comes down to cuts at the end of the day. There is a style that fits a body type perfectly and the wearer loves it, but then that style disappears. Or at least that is how it works for me. The cuts that fit my proportions best tend to look and feel the best.

eg, skinny jeans made it hard for me to lift my legs for some of them and low cut / boot cut felt like they were falling down on me, but they weren't really falling down. But give me some jeggings and I'm a happy camper.
NPM should use The Update Framework (TUF) [1] and in-toto [2] in order to protect its users from attacks against the registry itself. A notable list of adoptions include:

* Datadog is using both TUF and in-toto to defend against attacks between developers and end-users of its Agent integrations [3].

* Docker Content Trust is protecting users from a compromise of Docker Hub itself [4] using a version of TUF [5].

* Uptane is a version of TUF that is being standardized to protect software updates for automobiles [6].

* PyPI is considering adopting TUF to protect users of Python packages [7].

* Cloud Native Application Bundles is standardizing the use of TUF and in-toto to protect users of cloud-native applications [8].

that's why you purchase an easement, and yes, it would be enforceable. I mean, it would be as enforceable as making sure no one poached your trees on your vast swaths of remote, distributed acreage. In my scheme, because the revenue is recurring, the owners would have every incentive to prevent poaching, thus potentially relieving you of some extra costs.

I suppose a tree hating owner could sign up and then chop down your trees, but luckily, you can probably sue him for breaking a contract, or just not let him have another tree.
Deeply familiar with BERT. It lacks the very ability he is describing, to adapt itself, get up to speed, and collect relevant information in a new field, because that's simply not how it works. It can't possibly explain itself because it lacks any mechanism of introspection that could possibly give it that ability. It's an expensive way of gaining a very accurate language model that can be tweaked and get good results on a lot of tasks, but it doesn't understand what it's doing. It can't argue for its position or explain why it thinks whatever it thinks. It's not operating on that level of reasoning, at all.

An artist understands the goals of construction work, and can pick up the skills necessary along the way, because we can understand a goal and have a wide variety of cognitive tools to let us know how we are doing. If you've worked closely with BERT you already know that interns have nothing to worry about, not just from the current crop of tools that includes BERT, but from the entire line of deep learning research, short of a sudden and dramatic shift in direction.
I believe it. While I was in university, my eyes strained a lot to the point where they'd start to tear uncontrollably for days on end, I'd get headaches and my vision literally got worse. But every summer I'd spend weeks on end outdoors, camping, hiking, etc... It got better, all the eye strain went away. My mother used to have 20/20 vision, until a decade into her career as an accountant (it could have been age, but eye problems aren't prevalent in her family).

That's part of the reason I decided to do something outside of my degree path (that and the fact economics is depressing AF). I still enjoy computers, economics, all the things I studied, but working with my hands, stints in the outdoors, not staring at a screen makes me happier (and healthier).

Nope. If you take the time to read Newton, you will discover he never wrote F=ma. His formula was equivalent to F=dmv/dt.

That is to say, he anticipated the force to be a function of the mass.

If you choose to live in rural US, you are signing up for this kind of lifestyle; you're on your own. As long as that's advertised I don't see a real problem. If you need health care then you should live near health care. Don't expect the same level of support in rural MN as you would get in NYC.
What stops me from getting a billion dollars in investor money, developing an Uber-clone app, buying a bunch of self-driving cars, and renting them out as taxis in the top five metro areas in North America?

The network is not 'not quite as defensible as Facebook'. The network is not defensible at all.

The Uber app adds no unique value to the user. The Uber logo on the cars adds no unique value to the user. If the cars are off-the-shelf self-driving vehicles, then there is no sane reason why anyone would care whether or not they are riding in an Uber, or a Vkouber.

It's not like all the hooballaa about licensed and vetted and non-asshole higher-quality drivers is at all relevant in a self-driving car world. The only thing you'll be competing on is price.

A DBA I worked with a couple jobs ago was a surgeon in China. He immigrated in the mid 1980s. After he was told he would have to redo his med school, he also decided it wasn't worth it and instead "learned computers".
I think it's because high end education is hard to scale. I've yet to see an alternative to small class and 1-1 teaching (office hours) that reliably produces as good results.

So if it's hard to fit in more students per professor, then the issue becomes finding more teachers. I suspect that might be more of a bureaucratic/political issue. Research and teaching are conflated, putting teaching at the bottom of the totem pole and pay scale for most aspiring professors unless you're famous for being good at teaching.

Maybe there should be more dedicated teaching openings.

Direct nerve interface. That would be one hell of a disruptive technology.
>Can intellectual phase lock apply culturally, and if so, what does it look like?

It certainly does. It looks like what appears to be a majority of the population bullying others into accepting their viewpoints. This can be because only a single political party exists in the country (China), because the culture is populist and hence unstable leading to conservatism in individuals (Europe), or because as soon as you voice dissent with the current cultural direction a lynch mob materializes and tries to kill you (modern US, but has happened a few times in the past).

>For example, I wonder what techniques can be used to avoid it.

You need a healthy economy, a liberty-minded society, a strong Constitution with freedom of speech, equal protection, and privacy rights (that doesn't have "except when we don't feel like it" clauses like most nations do), and a lack of places and resources for bullies and those in favor of that phase lock to gain power.

In other cases, you need a good pseudonym or (where culture lock is at a despotic level) a decent pair of running shoes.
I doubt this would work all that well. Of course the NCAA can bring suit on whatever topic it pleases, but I don't see a court granting an injunction for something like this. It's a pretty common practice to enshrine into law rights that you aren't allowed to waive in contracts, and I don't see a judge believing this particular thing to be weird at all, let alone enough to grant an injunction.

There might be an interstate-commerce-clause justification here on the side of the NCAA, but it seems pretty thin. IANAL, of course, so what do I know.
Sorry for a bit off topic. But whoa... how much more hype does AI need? I was under the impression we're already at a high point.

A PhD also closes some doors because the roles you apply for will tend to be more specialized. Or maybe that's not the direction you want to go, and you have to explain in every HR phone screen for five years "no, I actually want to do x."

In general, the jobs you get if you have a PhD pay somewhat better, but there's fewer of them, and have less flexibility with who you work for and where.
They do literally pay almost 2x. And that's in towns where your dollar goes much, much further. It's effectively 5x. Doctors still don't want to go.

As far as I understand, remaining in a static position for 8 hours straight during the day and another 8 hours straight while asleep is pretty bad for many parts of the body irrespective of what that position happens to be.

People need to be occasionally changing position, moving about, getting their circulatory system working, getting their muscles working, focusing their eyes at a longer distance, etc.

We can improve people’s experience with sit–stand desks, frequent short breaks, periodic longer breaks, a daily commute requiring walking or other exercise, etc., but reducing the total number of hours people are staring at screens every day would also be generally helpful. It isn’t all that great to exclusively work at even the most ergonomic possible computer workstation.
If one is cushioned by unlimited amount of VC money, then it can take a while to realize that the vision was untenable.
Tesla is quite irresponsible launching these kinds of features... I fear that people are going to get hurt eventually. Simply claiming owners are responsible for pushing the buttons is not enough. Tesla is not considering that people can also be malicious and reckless with these types of features. Roads are not ready for self driving technology, these systems also are not covered properly by insurance and by fail safes. It will likely only take a few more terrible accidents before this gets reigned in by laws, so I hope Musk starts being more careful with gimmicky launches before automated driving gets regulated out of the biz.
Harmonics occur at integer multiples of the fundamental. If a body resonates at F, you will see harmonics at F, 2F, 3F...

You will not see harmonics at fractional (1/2 F, etc...) frequencies of the fundamental, though you will likely still see some backscatter.

Retroreflectors[0], to include the Luneburg lenses[1] mentioned in the article, function by directing radar energy parallel to its incidence direction. These reflectors will not significantly increase the plane's RCS for passive/bistatic receivers. Even if these reflectors did increase RCS omni-directionally, it is unlikely that a reflector designed to operate at 3 Ghz (10 cm) would also be designed to operate at 187.5 MHz (1.6 meters).

Our Philips brand 120v AC LED lighting runs about 10watts per, is flicker-free. It's not 6W but I think that is largely due to the higher light output at max brightness (~800 lumen). Also has the advantage of using existing wiring. Integration with the voice assistant software and color modes has been a nice added benefit (ignoring privacy stuff).

12 volt wiring in homes isn't terribly efficient as once you get past 6-10 feet you need really expensive (heavy, thick) wires to not have much voltage drop. Most new boats use 24 or 48v for long haul and then local step down to 12v where needed (kitchen, living, sleeping areas etc).
The least valuable NFL team had profits of $126M on revenue of over $400m.

I think it’s getting easier by the day to port a PyTorch model to something that can be production ready, like Tensorflow Lite. It’s cumbersome, but doable. For me, I like to optimize my workbench and just deal with the final steps of pain to get it to prod.
If they're willing to pay. Doctors are very sensitive to the pay issue these days. I'd imagine there are a ton of poor folks out there that would happily get treatment, but won't pay when they get that bill in the mail.
Also with drug, weapons, etc. you can build multi billion dollar business, so? Should we give up with good programming practices and join Mafia?
In my reading about American business going back to 1800, I don't see any of this "It was accepted that companies had to do well by their employees and the larger society". Capitalism did well by their employees and society because it worked. That's the beauty of free markets.

Capitalists, however, regularly tried to gain an advantage by manipulating the government into distorting the free market to give themselves an advantage.

This whole American exceptionalism meme is getting pretty old now. US runs literal concentration camps for children, and you have torture camps on Cuban soil. People in Flint still don't have drinking water, more than half of Americans can't afford an unexpected $500 expense. And don't even get me started on dodgy business practices when you elect Trump as your president. US has one of the largest prison populations in the world, with the number of people imprisoned per capita that's higher than China. And then there's US foreign policy that created literal slave markets in Lybia, killed millions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Three Body Problem and Ready Player One should be considered. Daemon by Suarez is better than Ready Player One. Oh, what about Ramez Naam and the Nexus books?
The thesis is that "the only other responsibility of an executive is to enforce company values."

(Note, there's no place where the author said those values need to be 'vague'.)

Your example of how 'many buttons a phone should have' could be interpreted as enforcing a specific design value.

You ask "Without this kind of decision making how should an organisation ever learn how to translate values into concrete decisions?" I don't see how your question is necessarily incompatible from the thesis.

I don't know about the 'what programming languages developers should use'. Is that Pascal (on the Mac), Dylan ("created in the early 1990s by a group led by Apple Computer"), Objective-C, Swift, or something else? I'm guessing Obj-C. What role did he play in choosing that as the language?

> How can you prove a conjecture that concerns infinite numbers of primes using a finite number system?

Your intuition is correct, but doesn't go far enough! In fact, the notion of a prime in general doesn't make much sense (in Galois fields) :)

The article explains it fairly well. Basically, what was proved was the fact that there exist an infinite number of twin prime polynomials (i.e. polynomials that cannot be factored and differ by a fixed gap) in finite number systems.
Too much tradition for anything like that to ever happen.
If the stars align and all is well, I will have a 10 to 20 acre homestead. I grow my own food. Chickens. Maybe some sheep and cows. I subsist on writing.

Amazing how much the TV series "Ballers" seems to reflect what's going on behind the scenes in sports. I've felt for years that NCAA rules has treated the athletes like a virtual slave class, while everyone, other than them, makes huge amounts of money.
Sweden and Finland saw peak socialism decades ago. Neoliberal governments have rolled back many policies for workers and these countries are not so much different than other Western European states now.
What top athletes are paying for rent? The ones who could get endorsements are surely on full rides. IIRC, they even get a modest monthly stipend.
I understand a lot of poor people in these regions lack the resources to move to more populated areas. Would you support a federal or state rehousing program to enable that?

It's a genuine question; should the US taxpayer pony up so poor people trapped in rural areas can move to population centres and enjoy the benefits thereof?
