If I read this correctly, your post can be summarized as:
"Disclaimer, people should have rights... yadda yadda yadda. But..... would it be so bad if they didn't have rights?"

I, for one, don't care at all about the positive externalities of taking away people's rights, nor do I see the merit in discussing them. It normalizes the taking away of rights when we discuss how great it could be when you aren't allowed access to information and freedom of movement.
I think this sort of thinking represents a sort of defeatism that frees the viewer from having to take any action to make things better (or less worse). Rebecca Solnit has a great quote on this about hope:

"Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act. When you recognize uncertainty, you recognize that you may be able to influence the outcomes — you alone or you in concert with a few dozen or several million others. Hope is an embrace of the unknown and the unknowable, an alternative to the certainty of both optimists and pessimists. Optimists think it will all be fine without our involvement; pessimists take the opposite position; both excuse themselves from acting. It’s the belief that what we do matters even though how and when it may matter, who and what it may impact, are not things we can know beforehand. We may not, in fact, know them afterward either, but they matter all the same, and history is full of people whose influence was most powerful after they were gone."
I hope this means some future work on Wayland performance on ppc64le or at least on 2D only is coming. My GPU-less 4-core Blackbird was unusable in Wayland with the basic BMC graphics (whereas it is quite sprightly in X.org on the same version of Fedora and with the exact same hardware loadout). I'll be honest and say I'm a Wayland skeptic generally for reasons I won't derail this post with, but I'm resigned to it probably being the future, and I would like to see it do better.

TF2.0 (and in particular their recommended tf.keras) is simply a clone of the Pytorch API in most respects. There is no reason to use it vs just using Pytorch, especially as Pytorch now support easy model exporting for running in production.

That's funny advice about America. We are undeniably the most obese country.

But I'm hoping that the unique pressure we have placed on ourselves eventually leads us to develop diet solutions that help the whole world.

But as test subjects in an extreme obesity study, the rest of the world is probably wise to avoid American "solutions" to problems they might not even have yet. For example Butter Coffee is a huge improvement for some people here, because it is better than eating a bowl of sugar cereal or having donuts and a Frappacino. But is the Butter Coffee better than a typical Italian breakfast of "Espresso and maybe a small yogurt"?
Keras still is the very best in terms of expressive models and end to end workflows. It leans heavily on the design idea that you should deliberately design for end to end use cases and all intermediate abstractions should be building blocks that serve precisely that purpose. This is discussed in [0] which IMO is something that deserves to be more widely talked about in software engineering. Lots of other disciplines of software engineering _say_ you should design this way, but in my experience it’s very rare no matter what discipline you’re in. Take TensorFlow itself. It’s a huge mess with no clear abstractions useful for end to end solutions. Just a hodge podge of disparate APIs and way too many underlying engineering concepts were elevated to abstractions for engineer (instead of user) convenience.

Constraining design by end to end use cases is a remarkably robust and useful process.

PyTorch is way better at having clean engineering abstractions than TensorFlow, but still falls short when things like “forward” or maintaining your own training loop and gradient metadata are necessary concepts for a practitioner’s end to end workflow.

> So you can of course side load apps more easily on Android, but it isn’t super easy. I guess that matters less when people are motivated.

Well, there's a balance here. If it's too easy, some users will be tricked into installing malware.

I think Android is a good compromise. If you're even a tiny bit technically inclined, you can enable sideloading in a couple of minutes at most, and it's a one-time process.

The popular perception is Apple surrender to CPP because of money and sacrifice an app that gives HK "citizen" rights.

The alternative of the perception is the App is the tool of HK "mobs" to sabotage the HK infrastructure. To avoid further esculation of the violent situation which evetually could lead to the intervention of Chinese army, Apple agree to remove the App.

So Apple has the courage to face the popular opinion of mobs. The problem of mobs is that when there's a controvercial issue without concensus, mobs believe that are the God who can decide which is right or wrong without knowing they are the ones who are fooled by Weapons of Massive Deception.

I admire the courage of Apple (Maybe not so much because Apple is powerful enough to stand against the opinion of mobs/activists/cult believers.

But why would I believe this? It seems you're selling snake oil. You can't really call it open firmware if there's still a lot of closed firmware in it.

Apple has obviously compromised themselves here because they are dependent on the good graces of the CCP for their manufacturing, and have caved to pressure.

I don’t think that is in question.

It seems like any company that does something the CCP dislikes is going to face this kind of pressure, and if even Apple can’t resist, the nobody can.

Google obviously chose not to participate in that market at all.

I see a lot of criticism of Apple here, which seems quite reasonable.

That leads me to be curious what people think an acceptable level of participation in the Chinese economy actually is?

Is Google’s move - I.e. exciting entirely - the only ethical option?

Once worked for a place using this to scrape search engines.

It's amazing how easy and comparatively cheap it is to get access to thousands of residential IPs. Is it via spyware running on people's machines? Shady people working at ISPs doing nefarious things for cash? We never knew....

The key thing to know is that if you want your traffic to come from an IP "in" some other country (according to geolocation databases anyway) it's really only a few bucks a month to get a proxy. Most of them have poor IP reputation so they suck to use on Google, but work very well for everything else out there...

I think the Mitsubishi one - which predates the Dyson by some years, so arguably the Dyson is a knockoff of it - works pretty nicely, and it's much quieter.

I absolutely read it. The point is that the land and crops used for animals are disjoint from the land and crops that humans need, and the entire reason why pastoral economies developed in the first place was to take advantage of the fact that we can raise animals as food in conditions that humans couldn't.

The key question is quantity of _what_. It's not a one for one trade.
Thou foul hypocrite and deceiver. I won't throw Wikipedia links at you for those terms, because you obviously know how to (ab)use it.
The discussion was about pytorch vs tensorflow but your argument seems to be about productionizing research code (which is framework agnostic).

Yes there is a lot of code to be written/optimizations to be done to make things production worthy. However I know a lot of tensorflow research projects that handle data batching in such a terrible way that would take weeks to re-write for production.

As for verboseness of pytorch vs tensorflow, I think either could get more verbose under different circumstances. However for simpler tasks, I think tensorflow is more verbose in general (not accounting for the new release which seems to mimic pytorch/keras a little more). For larger production tasks, its a toss-up depending on whether you need to add new components.

Most of Dyson's products are great but commercially unviable. It might as well be their mission statement.
Android is the budget option. The average worldwide selling price of an Android phone is about $400 less than an iPhone. Why get a cheap Android phone when the price difference over a 24 month interest free payment plan is $11/month?

Oh neat. Still, even when airtight there is a stable shelf life you need to be mindful of.
Dyson cordless stick vacuums are excellent in the rather limited sense that there doesn’t seem to be much credible competition. LG at least seems to be trying. I would love a good stick vacuum with a bag.

I find it rather annoying that every generation of them seems gratuitously incompatible with every other generation, and they don’t seem all that well designed or particularly reliable.
VLC was removed because a VLC developer (copyrightholder) asked them to. Specifically, they alleged apple did not have the rights to distribute VLC unless they also allowed users to modify / recompile the software.

There is a way for end users to modify their software now, but I don’t know if it would satisfy that developer. VLC relicensed to make clear they don’t require distributors to do this.
Popularity has always been important. Social media makes it slightly easier to quantify, but it was always there. Deleting an account does not make popularity less important.

Please support this point by citing or conducting studies of good quality showing causation of these markers on mortality and morbidity endpoints, instead of supposition that it is true.

> but the ecosystem around Bazel is quite bad at the moment

I've noticed this as well. I'd love to use Bazel for our Python 3 project, but as far as I can tell, the advertised Python 3 support doesn't actually work. There are several issues filed for this, but apparently no progress since 2018. Some people reported workarounds, but none that I could reproduce.

I believe the core is solid, but language support feels alpha at best.
Hindsight being 20/20, and all, the US withdrawing from Iraq (with some European pressure to do so) caused a lot of instability in the region. I doubt that ISIS would have been much of a concern without a power void in Iraq.

In answer, and this is risky as talking about drugs can be very misleading; give you too much hope they'll work for you, or perhaps just add to your woes.

* prozac removed the hideous clinical depression that was caused by what I went through. It was not a quick or easy process, and the removal still left a terrible after-effect that lasted many years. Something like that doesn't just disappear politely.

* Mushrooms helped resolve some issues, but not as much as MDMA

* MDMA. The first time I took it it showed my brain was another way to be. Something called 'happy' and 'relaxed'. I guess that's when I could start to become human. See another guy's comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21213649 but my experience was much later in life than his.

* The above, along with plenty of time. But life is very finite and I'm running out of road.

contrariwise:

* No form of talking therapy was of use. It is good for some people it just wasn't for me.

* Alcohol is a liability in these situations for me.

Using drugs worked somewhat for me but I don't know if they are appropriate for you. They certainly can add brand new dangers. In fact I feel maybe lack of human contact is the problem in your life? Some kind of talking therapy may be more helpful. Good luck.

Edit: One more thing that helped. It's too easy to focus on one's own situation but however bad things get, someone has it worse. The guys sleeping on the street in midwinter, those with agonising arthritis, there are many more and you will have met some... When it gets bad, remember what you don't have to deal with. It helped me, a little.
If it's only causing you problems at your interviews then that sounds like a symptom not a cause, maybe see a therapist? I'm definitely not a doctor but maybe this is interview anxiety making your stutter much worse.

What worked for my brother was stand-up comedy, 'pretending to be someone else' made his stutter go away. But in direct response to your question, just let them know in advance when you go for the interview, if they don't accommodate you then that's a red flag you don't want to work there in anycase.

McClaren made 4,806 (really expensive fidgety) cars in 2018. Maybe that partnership/acquisition would have been similar to what Tesla did back in 2008. Tesla's first roadster was based on a Lotus glider with batteries from Panasonic which meant they could work on motors and control systems.

But Tesla has a huge lead at this point with a factory and battery factory. With Tesla batteries, the Model 3 is 95% American made with most of that Tesla made meaning hire marginal profit margins. Anyone entering this market has to compete against that lead.
I had similar, but they knew what they’d find. So they just cleaned up the shredded flaps of my TFCC and shortened the ulna ~3mm (it was abnormally long).

Yes yes yes! I've been anticipating this for so long.

That's like saying you can't call Linux open source because it bundles closed firmware for WiFi, for example...

The ME could certainly still be active, that is true, but with modern x86 platforms attempting to disable the ME or PSP using the documented method is the best that can be done.

A very large amount of the work the firmware does is done by open source code in either Coreboot, EDK2, or the System76 firmware applications. It is my opinion that this definitely does count as open firmware.

No direct experience with this, but I just watched “The China Hustle” on a plane flight recently:

https://www.thechinahustlefilm.com/

During the 2010’s several hundred Chinese companies were listed on US exchanges, and it was discovered later by intrepid investors that many had materially misrepresented their operations, financials, etc and were little more than run-down plants from China’s full-communist past. The film goes into more detail and visits several to show what they really are.
That's not how it works. For example, fundamentalist extremism/terrorism has ramped up in Bangladesh in the last decade, even as the economy has been growing at 5-7% annually.
A prediction that fails to materialize is not a scientific one.

Making Decisions Under Uncertainty
Granted that PyTorch and TensorFlow both heavily use the same CUDA/cuDNN components under the hood (with TF also having a billion other non-deep learning-centric components included), I think one of the primary reasons that PyTorch is getting such heavy adoption is that it is a Python library first and foremost.

There're maybe all of two "surprises" I've encountered in all my time using it, if even (1. Gradients are accumulated in state, 2. nn.Module does funky things with attributes, so use something like nn.ModuleDict if you're going to be dynamically setting modules). Everything else works like a dream, and works almost exactly how you expected.

Model parameters? .parameters() gives you a dict-friendly generator of tensors.
Model state? .state_dict() is a dictionary.
Loading model state? load_state_dict(state_dict)... just loads a dictionary.
Reusing modules across different modules? Just assign them!
Determining what parameters to optimize? Just ... give the list of parameters to the optimizer.

You can use all your using Python development and debugging tools, and it feels 100% natural. I can fit it into other Python workflows without making the whole program centered around TensorFlow.

TensorFlow is undoubtedly powerful, and if you have the time/resources to put into a static-ish TensorFlow-centric workflow, it could pay off many times over. But it definitely feels like learning an entirely new language, with an entirely different debugging pattern. And furthermore, a language that is constantly changing patterns and best practices, other than super-standard Keras examples.

To put into context, even running the official TensorFlow models repository has deprecation warnings. Whereas torchvision works like seamlessly and reads like a reference for writing PyTorch model code.

There is just a developer-centric focus to PyTorch that makes it a joy to use.
>Right now, we are looking at moving away from vxWorks and onto a Yocto-built Linux

This decision is probably out of your hands, but I'm happy to share a few words of caution. I've been the yocto distro maintainer at a large firm for about three years and I absolutely despise it. BMW released a slide deck about their experience with yocto, and it was mostly "it sucks." I read that recently and it matched my experience down to a t.

If you absolutely need third party commercial support, yocto is probably the only game in town, but if you don't, I would highly recommend looking at nix (which recently gained cross compile support) or buildroot.

I'm dead serious about avoiding yocto if at all possible, I've seen things I wish I could unsee. But that sounds about right for a military project.

EDIT: I put my email into my profile if you want to chat about yocto more in depth.
you're getting confused by sensationalist reporting overblowing the short-term impact of our climate catastrophe.

the scientific predictions were always pretty conservative and the only thing they were off about was the time... as they alway thought we'd take longer to get to where we are now.

But yeah, you won't see the effect in your day-to-day life as an american nor european until its way too late to do anything anymore. but hey, most of us will experience it in a few years, so stay tuned until after 2050 i guess. though i'd wager we'll still discuss if we have impacted earth at that point. there is just too much money to make in denying it.
Iterating on Inclusion
No, I don't think there's any risk to Americans or American corporations that the president will unilaterally ban American corporations from doing business with me, an American

There is a very real risk to me, an American, that the products or services sold to me by an American corporation will be degraded or changed at the request of the CCP in exchange for that corporations continued access to the Chinese market

Does that clear things up?
