Usually a big component to these programs are weekly exams to make sure you’re on track. I’ve looked into some of the local ones and usually if you fail a few you will be dismissed from the program.

85% means little if Lambda has a low bar to dismissing students that are struggling and not keeping up with the material.
Not quite. The futures crate, version 0.1, contained a definition of the `Future` trait and a bunch of the combinator methods. This was iterated on a lot. Eventually, the bare minimum traits were added to the standard library.

The futures crate, version 0.3 (released under the name `futures-preview` right now with an alpha version number), contains the helper methods for the standard library's trait.
Book suggestions are great, but I have a more compelling question for all of you: where to get absolutely amazing flour (in the US)?
It had the opposite effect on me.

I began to feel guilty for wasting my intelligence. I knew my older brother was at least as smart as me, and fell into an addiction cycle early on, so I was determined to not follow in his footsteps.

Granted, I still went on to slack off and spend 7 years as an undergrad, but it payed off in the end.
While I have no specific knowledge on even jet engines, from general engineering principles, who says you cannot have 2 groups of people, one working on your own design, the other working on reverse-engineering / replicating others' works? For critical projects like this, it's not hard to imagine a State Actor throwing at least this much resources (including human resources of course) at this. One benefit I can think of is that reverse engineering can shine light on some tough problems during the "forward engineering", like "can this be done at all", and "what is the major concern / bottleneck when designing a particular component". Even if you don't figure out the whole thing, the process can still be useful, especially when you don't already have all the know-how.
If you can’t legally drain each other’s checking accounts, then you’re not “participating in the cultural institution”.

It’s about trusting someone to merge legal entities with you, and trusting someone to pull the plug on your life support at the right time, and all the cultural baggage that entails.

If you want a roommate you coparent with, that’s awesome.
Go for it. But that’s not a marriage.

No; it re-exports the standard futures. Its purpose is two-fold: one, it's where futures were experimented with before they got into std, and two, it's where extra functionality can live. We only put what was absolutely necessary into std.
> "Is it discrimination?"

Yeah it is.
It's legal discrimination.

So you can do it without repercussions.

The question you should be asking yourself is should you discriminate that way?

I guess it depends on if you got a desirable outcome.

Have a look at how it works at Circle K:

YouTube has helped to improve the product, but I am of the opinion that the most of the best YouTube channels are produced by a single person who post weekly at most. They seem to have struck a good balance between audience
engagement and information value. Consider Ben Eater or Technology Connections videos. The former may be more education oriented while the latter is well geared towards my quirky tastes in entertainment, yet both of these are producers who clearly respect their audiences by being interesting and to the point.

In contrast, the channels that have large production crews and publish more regularly usually feel thin on content. There is either very little value to the information or the density of information is incredibly low. There are exceptions. Vox comes to mind because they clearly respect their audience, has many more people involved in production, and produces more polished videos.

Yet those exceptions feel rare. More often than not I find new channels through those small time producers, either directly from the creator or through YouTube's automated recommendation while watching an interesting channel.

Now Google is sanitizing educational hacking videos, which is disconcerting because a lot of those videos are either lectures or produced by small producers. Google is probably doing that to protect their reputation, and there are likely cases when I would agree that it is a good thing. On the other hand, hacking is filled with a lot of grey areas. I enjoy some of those educational videos because it offers a glimpse into how hardware and software works, or demonstrates some interesting uses of everyday software. (At least for a Unix user, The other day, I was watching a video on reverse engineering firmware where I have regularly used all but one of the Unix utilities in the demonstration.) If Google takes that option away one of the best avenues for discoverability disappears. That hurts audiences and producers.

> But pharma portfolios operate on the lognormal success model of VCs. Without the blockbusters, you can’t fund “development” of the failures that could lead to another blockbuster.

That was the point of my whole Humira example though: high pharmaceutical prices did not fund its development.

This assertion that drugs have to be expensive or they can't be developed keeps getting repeated, but there's little evidence to support it and even less evidence that they need to be this expensive. This argument is further troubled by little details like drugs being 600% more expensive in the US than in other countries, indicative of more of a "how much money can we extract from vulnerable people" strategy than a "how much will it cost to develop the next great drug" strategy.

For extra credit, take a look at AbbVie's notable products (https://www.drugwatch.com/manufacturers/abbvie/#abbvie-produ...) and see if you can identify any that they developed, or that they funded the development of.

To put this into perhaps more familiar terms, AbbVie's behavior is far closer to Intellectual Ventures than to Y Combinator, and yet people here keep defending it.
The title on the page is just a styled tag. It can be different. It's usually done because what works for search engines often reads bland for humans. The h1 tag is an opportunity to serve the human while also serving Google.

Enderbin: Linux Filesystem Game
The idea of the article is to use the change of mass in special relativity. Some particles go faster in one direction (and they have more mass), and then they return more slowly in the other direction (and has less mass).

In special relativity, when the charged particles accelerate and decelerate they emit electromagnetic radiation. The whole process conserve the energy and momentum. The momentum that the device provides is compensated by the momentum of the electromagnetic radiation, aka photons.

So this device should work. It doesn't break the laws of physics. It produce some photons in the intended direction and more photons in other random directions. So it is just a very inefficient photon thruster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_rocket. It's like attaching a laser to the back of your starship, and then adding some lamp to illuminate in every direction to make it more inefficient.
how do you randomly sample high iq? by definition the population would have had to have taken a test. so already, even if the study looked at every known high iq individual in the world, it would still be biased -- for those with academic backgrounds, psychological histories, criminal backgrounds, and whatever else leads one to take an iq test. nb i am not advocating for this particular study nor their methodology.
Still no pattern matching and no immutable vars :-(
Thanks a lot for taking the time to type this out- I really appreciate the feedback & insight.

I miss StumbleUpon. It was a fun way for discovering unique out-of-the-way sites. One could lose oneself for hours much in the same way people do now on Reddit. It's a shame it's gone.

Pahaha. Who in the world would pay that kind of fee? I could see a $2/month subscription or even a higher amount for organizers, but with this people will just stop RSVPing altogether.
You weren't dumb, you were ignorant and ignorance can be overcome and more likely so if you are high IQ. In asking, "why can't you do x?" what they were really saying was, "I know this child has the capacity to understand this material but I don't have the power to help them do that." It wasn't about you. It was about them.

Children don't understand that. Children internalize everything. They blame themselves and you blamed yourself.
I hope they support flash game someday.

That's like visual puns, and is limited to whatever symbols seemed important to the developer at the time.

How do you discover how to type ß, °, «, ‡ etc?

Android's gboard uses phonetics (long press [s] key for ß), symbolic similarity (long press [*] key for ‡) and visual similarity (long press [<] key for «) which is guessable for some symbols, but isn't discoverable for others (you can search for emoji by name, but not symbols).
They can use YouTube as a storefront window to reach the audience.

But it may be not completely prudent to use YouTube as the only place your videos are available. Through the same videos, it is possible to constantly advertise the other sources of one's videos.

The problem, of course, is monetization, or lack thereof outside YouTube.
I stopped doing any reading in this space when I stopped trying to invest in any power storage tech, but this is what I recall:

Supercapacitors store electrons directly instead of chemical reactions. They have much much lower capacities at present (per unit volume for certain, per kg is a narrower margin), but you can pump and drain them quickly without damaging them, and hundreds to thousands of times as frequently. But we construct these materials using chemical reactions, so they are far away from their theoretical limits.

Every few years lately, someone tries to blur the lines between battery and capacitor by working on chemistries that can also store electrons. What I can't recall is the degree to which any of those bested LIon in bench-top tests.

What I wonder is if lithography will ever enter into this, how many more features per mm^2 the equipment would have to create to make an equivalent material, and how much cheaper they'd have to get per feature before it were financially feasible.

[Edit to add:]
I completely spaced on the fact that people are experimenting with graphene to build supercaps, so we may get closer to that limit relatively sooner than later. Since many commercial supecaps are essentially doped charcoal, this isn't the graphene bandwagon it first might seem.

Data Lakes Get Structured
There were some changes to asyncio in this release but they were pulled at the last moment so they can better sign with Turio.
Old thread, but I also really appreciate the simplicity. Configuring wireguard takes a little knowledge of routing (either iptables or firewalld, etc) but is vastly simpler to understand compared to OpenVPN. When things aren't working, there's a lot fewer thing to check.

Oh and it's blazing fast. I often times get better connection speeds when connected to the wireguard VPN than not, presumably because the TCP overhead all happens in the cloud rather than locally where latencies are much higher and bandwidth is more limited.

The roaming of Wireguard also makes it completely seamless. I'll often forget I'm even connected for days at a time.
I agree that the maximum is useful, but in a situation where you're optimizing code on a machine where there is external interference from other processes, the minimum can be more relevant.

This is when the code you write is deterministic and the interference is not. The minimum is closer to what you would get without interference.

Just don't effect the time to represent typical results. (And why would you expect that if you're running benchmarks on your development machine?)
> In this example, the assignment expression helps avoid calling len() twice:

if (n := len(a)) > 10:
print(f"List is too long ({n} elements, expected <= 10)")

Um, no it doesnt?:

a1 = [10, 20, 30]
n1 = len(a1)
if n1 > 2:
print(f'{n1} is greater than two')
There is a similar trick that you can use without the walrus operator. I wrote the code many years ago and I am reproducing this from memory, so the code below may be a little off. Define this class:

class Any:
def __eq__(self, other):
self.value = other
return True

Then you can use an instance of it as the hole in a pattern. My use case was performing peephole optimizations in a simple 6502 assembler. For example, if the LDA operation (load value from memory location into accumulator) occurs twice in a row, the first load is redundant. So I did this test:

x, y = Any(), Any()
if L[i:i+2] == [('LDA', x), ('LDA', y)]:
L[i:i+2] = [('LDA', y.value)]

(Note that the last line changes the length of the list, so it may be slow on large lists.)

I was going to write a blog post about this back then, but I never did. If anyone is interested, I can write it now.
I would say that compliments can cut both ways. If a gifted student or child is encouraged in a productive way it can have a magnifying effect on outcomes but I think that has to be balanced with the understanding that social, emotional, and physical skills are completely orthogonal. Work ethic is also completely orthogonal.

But you know, we do this too with other natural gifts. My exceptionally tall friends were constantly encouraged to enter sports like basketball. Tall people are built up emotionally through compliments that they receive on a daily basis from people. I would say it's not necessarily bad to compliment smart people for being smart.

I was a short scrawny kid growing up and I was bullied but I definitely took solace in the fact that I had a higher IQ than most people.
>you lose significant negotiating power when you're not actively employed.

I took six months off after a large liquidity event and then went back into the job market. I don't think I lost any negotiating power - the trick was to make sure I times the interviews so that I'd have several offers at the same time and then could use the fact that company X was offering a certain amount to ensure I got the job at the company I liked the most.

I do just want to say one thing: most tech investors now think we are in a bubble. A downturn is likely at some point. Now would be a very good time to ensure you have six months of expenses in a savings account so you don't have to take the first job you get offered - I had to do that in 2008 after the financial crisis hit and my startup died and it wasn't a fun time.
Compute != Data != Models

Wise people could figure it out, but there's only a partial overlap between wise and intelligent.
IQ tests are timed. IQ test questions aren’t something that normal people can’t comprehend, they’re just hard to do quickly. It’s easy to ask hard questions without being that smart, just like it’s easy to time the winner of a sprint even if the winner can run faster than you.

The situation is a bit more unique with Chinese working/studying abroad. Since most of their families, friends, and relatives are still in China, they can be coerced by the CCP to engage in espionage out of fear of hurting their families.

If they are known to cause retardation, then they are known to have impact on cognition. That statement was intentionally framed as neutrally as possible.

Are you telling me that brain differences can only ever lower IQ and never, ever raise it (or, more accurately, raise the potential ceiling -- because nutrition and a million other things will impact this)? There is a lot of research out that says, basically, "genius" is, by its very nature, a brain that thinks differently from the norm. It isn't simply "more" of something. It is different and this is often a two-edged sword.

I'm currently failing to find the source I know I saw not terribly long ago linking some genetic disorder to higher IQs and to altered brain stuff of some sort. I don't have the time to keep digging for it.

But, here's a study of people with CF -- a common genetic disorder in the Jewish community -- that says, in essence "Lower IQ scores in this population can be linked to negative health impacts and other negative factors," yet seems to list the average IQ for this group of 89 very, very, deathly ill patients as 102.5. Which sort of implies to me that if they weren't basically dying from their disorder, they would be far above average intelligence.

No more than there would be with accelerating, I suspect. "Decelerating" in space is just accelerating in the opposite direction.
I presume it's about preparing for the pain of the actual birthing process.
I've had similar ideas. Pessimism is a personality trait which make for excellent designing and debugging in that it makes it easier to anticipate and identify problems, but if you can't turn it off outside of work, it can severely hinder your quality of life.
I have a theory about high IQ and anxiety:

The more intelligent and creative a person, the more sensitive to negative emotion they're going to be, simply because their subconscious mind will see more connections between their negative emotions and the things, people and places the person has, sees or frequents. In other words, they'll naturally realize the world is more inhospitable than the average intellect, so their subconscious will have more negative data points to track. When something bad happens, they'll need to work harder to convince their subconscious that it won't happen again.

Anxiety itself is therefore because the subconscious currently sees familiar patterns it saw before, during painful experiences, and it throws out feelings of anxiety to slow down the conscious mind to force caution, as if the person is looking at a minefield and may not know it.

Edit: And the key to living anxiety-free, at least for my own personal experience, is understanding every negative emotion in my past, why it happened (whether my fault or not), how I reacted, and how I would react today In a way that would avoid the same terrible outcome. Usually it requires forgiveness, either for something someone did to me or to forgive myself because I was ignorant but no longer am and most importantly I/my subconscious knows if my forgiveness is genuine, namely when I'm ready to sympathize with someone else in the same situation. It's incredibly liberating.

> Most people in China would want more freedom

Right there after:

1. Getting a stable job

2. Starting a family.

3. Worry about children's education

4. Worrying about rent raising and loathing about crowded subways.

5. Pork price.

6. Popular pop star getting divorced.

I think you're right with your conclusion though, there _is_ widespread apathy for political activism. In no small part due to seeing how UK and US are being ran, the whole Brexit saga has been a laughingstock in China and good stuff just keep coming. Now, does anyone like getting an emperor? No, but at least the alternatives are not as good (as once thought).
We might add a smaller plan it someday, but you're right. There are enough businesses that need that much geocoding, and it's much less work to support 1 $200/mo customer than 10 $20/mo.

And yeah... a lot of the stuff normally associated with Redux is _intended_ as a "large project maintainability best practice" kind of thing.

No. Eliminating the ideology is never possible. If you try, you implicitly support the dominant one. Avoiding the term is a good idea though.
