It may or may not be the case that US houses catch fire more often, but fire is always a very big deal if it does happen and then you really don’t want to be locked inside the ‘fire-proof’ house.
Exactly. The problem with this field is that if you want to see what you'd have to do to be a star researcher in AI. You'd have to be top-10 amongst 20.000 or so machine learning PhDs. This is not a reasonable aspiration. Plus I would argue that although Ilya Sutskever did a ridiculous amount of effort and then got lucky, 2 two others were at best interested academics on the sidelines for most of their careers, then got lucky with a grad student. There's at least 1000 who did similar effort to Ilya (let's say half as much, which is still triple what any reasonable person would find reasonable), way more than the 2 other named examples, yet have no hope at all of ever achieving his level of recognition, including several of the students who really did most of the work the 2 others got recognition for.
That's a good point - but of course I wasn't arguing that Commons Clause is "free software" (as defined by OSI/FSF). I do however believe that it solves a true problem that free software evangelists keep pretending doesn't exist, and it does so in a way which leaves user with much more freedoms than other proprietary licenses.

Is it free software? No. Does it allow many more freedoms than closed source? Hell yes. Is that enough? We'll see.

Well I work on embedded systems that have embedded webservers (think your router's webpage). And what data format is easiest to work with when dealing with webpages and browsers? JSON.

Hence, our embedded C++ backend can now easily accommodate and return JSON to the front end using this library.

Plus, what data format do you propose for things like configuration files, etc? No matter what format you choose, you are going to need a parser of that format for C/C++.
It's certainly possible. You just don't own a home, you rent. It's much like NYC in that regard - you don't own a detached home in NYC regardless of how rich you are, you rent a swanky loft or penthouse. At most you might buy a condo, but you can still find plenty of hedge fund managers or Google engineers that rent their permanent residence (and sometimes have over $1M in liquid assets).

In my wife's mom's group (which had a number of dual-tech-income couples working for places like Apple, Google, Palantir, Facebook, etc.), not a single parent owned their own home. I live in a small 13-unit townhome complex, and about 8 of the units have families with young kids.
Salary transparency at all levels would help quite a bit. The SEC rules around required pay package disclosure for execs is a major reason that CEO pay spiked in the 90s. You gain a good amount of negotiation leverage when you know exactly how much each or your peers are making.

Butterfly Launches New Ultrasound Technology in the U.K
If you want to earn money, create the most revenue.

The problem that most technical people seem to have is that they think a qualification is a licence to print money. It isn't. The majority of people who obtain qualifications have no idea how to make money (that is why they are doing the qualification rather than making money, and this effect increases with the complexity of the course of study).

So if you want to make money and your interest is AI, sure do a PhD...but at some point, you are going to have to work out how you can use those skills to sell something.

I think, at some point, there is going to be a rude awakening. Right now, we this situation where you can tap up some VC idiot to pay your salary for a few years whilst you fuck about on some bullshit. You can get acquired by some megacorp with a ton of cash and have no accountability from shareholders while you light huge stacks of their cash on fire...this always ends. Always.

You are either a bureaucrat chasing qualifications to get no-accountability jobs or you are someone that can create value for other people. I am not knocking any kind of advanced degree (I have one). But the point of it is not money.

So even posing the question is totally misguided.

> When comparing program length, we should count tokens, not characters.

GP said APL had "concision" and you then replied about measuring tokens, ended up using some personal ƒ(tokens,nodes,symbols) for reasons I can't fathom.

What ambiguities are present in the APL function? If you answer, please write clearly, because I know nothing about APL (I was watching the video for my own didactic purposes).

> That's an example of what I call "stupid terse".

That seems needlessly provocative to me.

Edits: clarity. I think I would like the function definition to be written a little more clearly, but I would need more interaction with APL authors to understand their communication norms for their language.
not entirely. It will also cause brownouts at scale, as there is no secure scalable way to stop production on peak solar days (save for shutting off the supply, which kills the inverters)

solar + battery is a far better solution as it can soak up peak generation _and_ peak demand.
My question for you though is, is it much less? Americans have to save way more money for retirement than Canadians. I bet your fully loaded costs are close.
There is definitely tests for welding jobs. And then their welds are regularly tested to maintain certifications.

That's so many steps. All I do is put the flowers on parchment paper or any surface in the oven for 30 mins at 245F. There's no need to put it in capsules. It stays fine in a bag for months as long as it's dry enough where you are. I find weaker cannabis is actually nicer for dosing because then it's easy to guage by sight. Just chew up the flowers and swallow. The taste isn't great but it grows on you.

To get started, I'd say eat an amount about the size of a pea then you can eventually find a schedule and dosage that gives desired effects. With more frequent dosing of smaller amounts, (4-6 hrs for me) you can have the benefits while keeping enough tolerance on the mental cloudiness to not get headaches/overwhelmed. There are definitely unique benefits to high-dosage meditative experiences though too.

As someone taking cannabis for breathing difficulties, when I realized I could use such a simple preparation to make it edible, it made life so much easier.

> but with a library like this, it has to make a subroutine call.

I mean, before I wrote my comment I checked and it's `constexpr` all the way down to the add instruction so if it's going to make a call, I'm not seeing it. There is definitely a lot of template machinery, but I can't be the judge of that immediately.

> I personally feel that libraries like this are taking C++ in the wrong direction ("ranges" is another obvious example)

I think you're making an emotional argument based on some preconceived twitter-verse sentiment. I'm in games too (graphics specifically) and people are up and arms about the wrong thing. Maybe there are corner cases that are a bit overly complex, but what's wrong with being able to write `std::sort(container)` instead of `std::sort(container.begin, container.end)`. There may be things we don't like, but I don't think we should resort to hyperbole either.

Incidentally, I wouldn't use this library if only because for what I do, having explicitly sized data types is important.
If you take an english person (on their consent and treating them with all respect) and insert electrodes into their brain, one group after hearing-to-neural, another before neural-to-speech, you will not understand how it all works too. You hear the question and hear the response, but have no idea how it was produced. Is that different? I think it is not.

Now imagine that not words, but ideas appear in your consciousness. And you don’t have to verbalize them, only think abstractly. Do you really understand what it is about? Or is your brain “understanding” by picking associations and [de]verbalize them before/after processing as you were thaught? (language is not a built-in)

Why do people think that they understand themselves or something clearly, when there is a large mostly unknown area of psychology/psychiatry and thinking in general.

A lighter version of criticism may sound like this: is a cpu required to understand a program it is executing? If yes, why do programs work? If no, what’s the paradox then. Strong english AI emulates strong chinese AI algorithm and it all works without the former understanding the latter due to intellectual/knowledge limits. Maybe some strong enough english AI could understand chinese by simply figuring out everything from code, data, snapshots and spare time alone.

This is my thought, looking at the graph, a good dollar per watt appears to come from getting permits and such.

I'm not aware of having to notify the local council or power company about installing solar (you do have to get certification before you can receive money for generation though, but I don't think that costs significant money, its more a case of proving provenance of solar panels and equipment. )

nlohmann's is super nice. You can set a json object equal to a map or vector and it will automatically understand and do it. I doubt you can do that with jsoncpp.
Conk has a good response but you also have to realize that it's still too expensive to setup a battery as well. So, since the grid will be needed, you'll need conversion to be able to handle the fluctuating demand your home requires. And don't install new devices, as that can change your equation but connecting back to the grid allows much needed simplicity.

Other companies are working on this (energy sovereignty) issue, my guess it (stand alone affordable systems) will be solved within the next twenty years and be affordable. DC use might be apart of it but I'm doubtful since there is a level of complexity that each device is using different amps/volts/etc that will take new products to solve and the independent grid system still takes a lot of capital.

> You can get very far with Gimp and or Inkscape.

> I'm going to suggest that the majority of Adobe users will get by just fine with Gimp.

Well, frankly, your suggestion is useless. Not even the maintainers of gimp have the temerity to suggest that Gimp is a suitable replacement for Adobe photoshop. I don't care about the "users" of Adobe that pirate it. The tools are expensive and people pay for it. The majority of people that pay for Adobe Photoshop have very good reasons for doing so.

You are clueless if you think Gimp can replace Photoshop. You can do a little research to see why, it's well documented. Morons have been suggesting Gimp as a PS replacement since the late 90s and there is now nearly 20 years of responses for why that is untenable.

You should also take care not to light your house or person on fire, which is a bad idea and probably also illegal (regardless of will).
Unfortunately template-heavy libraries have to be header-only; otherwise the preprocessor doesn't know which flavors of the template you want to use.
I do think this is closer to the truth even though you're being downvoted. I worked in the industry for about a year and I'm working on starting up my own company now.

If you removed the 30% tax credit, it would turn $3 a watt into the UK's ~$2 a watt. I know it's not that simple but it's not far from the truth. Even Tesla is trying to launch a product at $1 watt for commercial/industry clients.
Framasoft, the de-Google-ify Internet champion, to shutdown some services
A friend of mine did something similar. He put in a small solar array with only 3 panels, an inverter/charger, and 400 Ah of 12-volt batteries. This DC then feeds into a breaker panel and goes to lights in all the rooms. He uses LED spotlights, the little bulbs that plug into wires stretched across the ceiling. He said he just ran 10-gauge Romex wires through the attic, down to DC-rated switches and then to the ends of the cables.

He still has all the original 110 wiring and fixtures in the house, but this battery-backed solar system runs all his lights. It can easily go 2 days without sun before he needs to use the regular lights. Another benefit is that DC LED bulbs are by definition flicker-free, and also low consumption (4-6 watts each) but bright. He calculated he can light each room better than before with 6-8 bulbs, so 40-50 watts, thus only 4-5 Amps (@ 12 VDC) to each room.

All the big appliances in the house still run off of of AC, but he does have a 110 inverter so that he could run a critical appliance such as a fridge during an extended outage.

So this little system replaces 1-2 kWh of incandescent lighting per day (CFC or LEDs on 110 would be less, but not flicker-free), while providing lights during outages. He says it's not cost-effective (the usage displaced by solar and battery usage doesn't cover the cost of the system), but the backup powers is worth it to him.
I often find it useful to look at systems in terms of pressure distributions. I don't know about parking lots, but looking for seating in trains is similar. There I visualize people as molecules in a gas. They tend to distribute evenly. However the passages between cars are high-friction so pressure differences show there. As I walk between cars I can gauge the pressure differential and whether it's sensible to continue walking that direction.

For the parking lot it would have to be a column of air. As you descend towards the entrance, pressure increases. The rate of the pressure increase forecasts saturation.

It's a financial mistake to not put 20% down. Not only are you hit with $500+/month in PMI, you have almost negative equity into the house when you buy it. Meaning if you have to sell on short notice you're either completely underwater having to pay back cap gains, or you're just breaking even. That's not an ideal situation and if you don't understand the mechanics going in, you'll find yourself in a world of hurt in an economic downturn.

It is trivially proved that deep learning can represent any computable function so the proof you're asking for is not going to be possible. However, it's also completely obvious to anyone familiar with deep learning as it exists today that it is not moving in the direction of AGI and none of the research is ever going to lead to AGI short of some kind of miracle. The burden of proof here would be on those who think this is possible to give some plausible mechanism (or research agenda) for getting there.
I'm on the other side of that fence.

Went to college, did my best until proper graduation. Dug my way into FP and semi advanced topics at the time. No job because I'm not mainstream (and barely insterested by REST and similar).

On the other hand some gigs can accept barely educated juniors, train them for one thing, they get a cute career and raises along the years and by the time they get to my age they're comfy and set (potentially, not every life is bluesky and easy)

There's no clear better path. Even if you consider college academic education, yes we had good classes (DB normal forms, optimizing compilers, computer graphics etc) but we also spent half the time on obviously horrendous 2000s OOP that led the world at the time and will soon be forgotten. So it's not even great on that side too.
