I think mathematics is in a different class than physics or other scientific endeavors because there is meaningful mathematics going back to ancient Greece whereas I am not aware of any physics that was known thousands of years ago that is still relevant.

I did my first hackintosh few days ago just for the learning experience, I have normal Macs otherwise. It does have a problem with flickering screen; I suspect it is due to 10-bits per pixel that I cannot switch from and the cheap HDMI2 cable used.

Wrt ESXI - are you aware, that with ESXI you will lose local console (and all the GPU-goodness)? After ESXI boots, it has only text-mode notice, how to connect remotely and that's it. You will be stuck with remote access. For things like build machine or test-runner, that's fine, but if you want to run something interactive... well, let us know about the experience ;)
In recent years, American apartments I've lived in have made it impossible to lock the front door from the outside without a key so you can't lock yourself out, thereby eliminating the need to call the landlord or manager over incidents like that.

They have a knob that doesn't have a locking mechanism at all and a deadbolt that locks from the inside without a key, but cannot be locked without a key if you leave.

I am not exactly sure what you imagine, but I (in Germany) have two 3 phase outlets (3x 16A @230V) in my flat and this is very common here. We use it for cook tops and ovens in the kitchen typically, and it makes the difference between 15 mins for boiling water (old single phase cook top) and (on my induction cook top) 1 min.

Edit: and as an aside, why we probably don't do that everywhere: it makes for bigger plugs, and keeping safety standards can be a bit more expensive and space intensive with the potential 400V between phases.
I think the prototype was built by a company that normally builds water towers, so probably not that different from normal industrial welding.

Yeah that makes sense. There's no good alternative in C++, thanks to the mess created by all the zero-cost abstractions that are very much not zero-cost without a the optimizations of a release build.

NOR was used instead of NAND because the latter would've required a series connection of transistors, which changes the voltage levels needed and otherwise complicates the design.
It's definitely not US specific. Here in Denmark it's standard that the front door opens from the inside without a key. Same goes for at least Luxembourg and Germany as far as I know.
Could you elaborate on how are the 2nd and 3rd versions insecure and a joke? I've reread them and see no issues with either. Basically apart from clarifications and fluff about limits, security, and interoperability the only differences in the JSON spec itself are allowing any value at the top level and requiring UTF-8 for cross-system exchange.

Since UTF-8 is the only sensible format for JSON it makes little sense to require UTF-16 and UTF-32 support. ( unless you have some special requirements on encoding, in which case you can just disregard that part and convert it on both ends yourself )

The only "issue" with non-object values I see is the one mentioned in the above link where naively concatenating JSON might lead to errors when you send two consecutive numbers but that's going to rarely happen so your system can just reject top-level numbers if it doesn't expect them. And even then the simple solution is to just add whitespace around it.

I don't think the winters are too bad, but I was born here. The problem is Toronto being right next to a big lake and the downtown core is a series of wind tunnels.
> The vast majority of locks have a physical unlocking mechanism on one side

Not where I live. Sure the lock that you use to stop it blowing open in the wind (1) when you are at home has a latch on the inside (making it easy to open door to visitors etc), but you also have the real lock that you use when you leave the house require keys from either side (2).

I think most home insurance in the UK would either not insure you or your premiums would be super-high if you only had the latch and not a proper secure lock.

Random image from the internet showing typical UK front door locks - latch at the top (openable from inside without key), proper secure mortice lock at the bottom (key needed from both sides): https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1b/a1/63/1ba1634b8b6b9c5135b6... or https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a1/7b/77/a17b77bf1ad7a909a0bd... - in the second picture if it just had the latch it would be absurdly easy to break into: just break the glass and open the latch!

Most bigger Canadian cities really aren't that bad. Vancouver is particularly mild, and Toronto winters are fairly tame.

"Real" Canadian winter happens in places you won't find many tech jobs anyway.
Around here (Finland) basically all homes have locks that open without a key from the inside, plus optionally an extra lock that needs a key on both sides, for those who desire more security. I presume those extra locks are more common on house doors than apartment doors.
So long as they didn't share the information with anyone not cleared for it, would it matter if they had help with the composition?
There’s generally a tradeoff in control systems between stability and performance. Which is to say: by definition, the more stable a system is, the harder it is to get that system to move away from its setpoint. The classic response to a program manager who wants the system to be “as stable as possible” is that a boulder sitting on the ground is stable, but you probably don’t want it.

If you want an aircraft that’s incredibly responsive, then you probably want an aircraft that’s just this side of unstable. Or, in the X-29’s case, an aircraft that actually is unstable and being actively stabilized by the flight computer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius#Conspi...
I guess there's not much information on the Su47 since it was military, USSR, etc. The X-29 required several flight computers to make micro adjustments to keep the plane stable. I wonder if the Russians had to design something similar with the X-29 .. and if not, how did they keep it stable?
AFAIK it's uncommon skill, you need the steady hands of a surgeon to have a chance. Definitely not work I could do, I know that.

Well they are nowhere near human drivers. And yes, human drivers are terrible.

Thing is that human drivers vary a lot. So we have excellent drivers and we have awful drivers. And also we have tired drivers, bored drivers, angry drivers and we have sporadically inattentive drivers.

If we were to aim for "at least the same number of accidents as a human per mile" that would be a pretty disastrous AI. Because the AI would be much more uniform in its performance.

A human driver will send text messages and won't even slow down before hitting a stand-still truck right in front of them. A human driver will mix up the brake pedal and speed straight through an intersection.

An AI that does comparable damage (obviously wouldn't make the same mistakes) would be pretty darn scary to sit inside or be near.

There is also the very important factor that a self-driving car needs to behave as a human to not cause accidents just with it's presence.

The PR disasters that await, when people die because a self-driving car did something that a conscious human would never do people won't react rationally. Tesla are just begging for a, well deserved, ban on self-driving cars and attach a stigma to them. All while killing some people.

There is no silver lining to it.
So I take it the answer is no. It seems like a lot of the discussion around what deep learning is not makes a lot of assumptions about what "actual" learning is but doesn't seem to back that up in any formal way.

Coming originally from the UK I was surprised about how relaxed fire and safely regulations are in rented accommodation is in Germany.
> It may actually be nigh impossible to learn German, even if you want to. I wanted to, so badly. Almost no one would speak it with me.

The trick is to be direct about that you want to speak German. Germans are direct, it's not impolite. "Entschuldigen Sie, können wir Deutsch sprechen? Ich muss es üben." will get the majority to switch to German.

And if you have German friends and they know you've been in Germany now for a longer period, and some stage they'll decide "Jetzt muss sie aber wirklich mal Deutsch lernen" and start to speak exclusively German to you.

The "I am polite and speaking English" thing is usually only applied to strangers.
I feel like that's mostly Microsoft's fault, their STL implementation is super aggressive about checks in debug builds to the point that it becomes sort of useless in heavy use/high performance scenarios. Between that and the lack of valgrind, I'm pretty glad I left that world.

Over in Linux/g++ land, it's not nearly so bad. Bounds errors are mostly handled by address sanitizer such that -O0 performance is decent. And if -O0 is too slow, there's -Og which takes slightly longer to compile and has less information for gdb.

I work almost exclusively in "g++ -O0" until it's time to release.

Clang is decent too, but I find the C++ compile times are atrocious, like almost double for my admittedly template-heavy code. And performance of the compiled output is no better.

One of the classes at my university had a tradition of a guest lecturer coming in and give a two hour talk on “building a computer with magnets” at the beginning of the quarter to incoming freshmen. He’d go through pretty much the same things you mentioned, combining smaller components as he went into more complex ones, culminating in a computer that could do a full fetch-decode-execute cycle (whimsically, powered by the turning of a water wheel).

Thanks for replying. Don't get me wrong, money is a great representation of time, I said it's just not equivalent.

A way out of capitalism is the realization that physical resources are always worth more than money. How to make that concept scale, I don't know, but it gives me hope to see a daycare center take a small step towards that direction.
Whether or not Hunter Biden committed a crime, those allegations are already out in the open. Further, they can all be true, and it can still be the case that there was an improper abuse of power for personal political gain.

As for beginning "with a conclusion of wrongdoing", yes: It's a whistleblower complaint. They are, fundamentally, disclosures of what the writer believes to be wrong doing. Leading off with "This appears to be someone doing something wrong" is neither unexpected or improper. The whistleblower could be completely and totally wrong, but that doesn't change the fact that such complaints are defacto accusations of wrongdoing.
>Once a human learns chess, you can give it a 10x10 board and she will perform at nearly the same skill level with zero retraining.

Interesting. Has this actually been shown? I would assume a lot of the strategies a human is familiar with would fall apart as well. I'm no chess or go player but I would have to learn new strategies in a tic-tac-toe game scaled to 10x10. I would certainly not be as proficient although I would still consider myself to have intelligence.

I'm also guessing german europe (swiss, austria, germany) lives in an earthquake free zone, so they can make stone buildings without much consideration for earthquakes while most of the US population has to think about earthquakes and/or hurricanes, so housing is more likely to go towards flexible and flammable wood.

As a Canadian – born citizen who just recently became a US permanent resident I would caution you on how “easy“ the Canada to US Route appears to be but may not actually be.

My permanent residency was super straightforward. My PhD is from a US institution. I have a long research career and a very long software development professional resume, and it still took three years.

Be aware that the TN work permit can have a serious downside: it’s so easy and simple and straightforward to get for Canadian citizens that many employers will stonewall or simply not consider going the green card route. That’s what happened to me many years ago even before the current immigration insanity, which will likely make things worse for you.

In general Canadians have to go to the H1 B route. It is vaguely possible to apply for a green card while under a TN work permit, but because of the way the rules are interpreted by USCIS, most immigration lawyers with experience in the matter strongly strongly strongly advise against it.

If you're considering Canada, keep Montreal in mind. It has substantially lower rent prices than other major cities, and still has a healthy tech sector.

IMO, the only downsides are that it's substantially less multicultural than Toronto or Ottawa (which is a high bar to meet, tbh), and you'll sometimes miss out on things if you don't know French (though you can get by with English).
Oh, that's nice. I wanted that decades ago, when I was working on program verification. Templates have made a lot of progress if this can be done entirely in C++ templates. I once wrote, but never published, "Type Integer Considered Harmful", back when there were still 16-bit integers in most C programs. I wanted ranges on everything, like Ada. As a practical matter, integer overflow became less of an issue with 32-bit.

Sizes of intermediates are a big issue. When you write

int_32 a,b,c,n;
...
n = (a*b)*c;

how big is each part? My thinking on this was that it's the compiler's job to prevent overflow in intermediate values where the final result will not overflow. So, above, you'd have to compute (m * n) as a 64-bit product, do a 64-bit divide, and only then check that the result fit in n.

is legal to compute in 32-bit, but requires overflow checking on the intermediates. If an overflow occurs, there will be an overflow in the result. (Although, the case where some values are zero is an issue. Suppose a * b overflows but c is zero so it doesn't matter. That's probably an error.)

Sometimes you have to use larger sized intermediates. For

int_32 m,n,p;
...
n = (m * n) / p;

how big is each part? Above, you'd have to compute (m * n) as a 64-bit product, do a 64-bit divide, and only then check that the result fit in n.

To do this right, you need something in the compiler that can do basic reasoning about machine arithmetic. Something that knows, for example, that

uint_16 n;
...
n = (n + 1) % 65536;

cannot really overflow and can be optimized down to a plain unsigned 16-bit add.

If you try to to this through linguistic type analysis only, it's not going to be satisfactory.
You need to be able to prove out inequalities.
