> it's really quite expressive, powerful, and orthogonal

Expressive and powerful are definitely true, but I'm not so sure about 'orthogonal'.

Most C++ features seem to depend heavily on each other, and library decisions can impose restrictions/boilerplate on application code in many areas.

Especially as the language has evolved, features like exceptions, destructors, copy and move constructors, and operator overloading have become more and more indispensable. Template functions are still required for any kind of variance (e.g. you still can't have a non-template function that works on a const std::shared_ptr<const *base_type> or any derived type).

None of these is unbearable, but I do believe that even the modern subset of C++ is still the least orthogonal mainstream language in use (and definitely the most complicated by far). To be fair, it's also likely the most expressive mainstream language too, and still the most performant.
Probably not the flavor you are looking for. But both Matlab and especially Mathematica have excellent docs. You can I think browse these for free online. Though part of what makes the docs excellent is that they integrate right into the IDE.

Here's fairly approachable summary of some of the risks: https://www.synthego.com/blog/crispr-cancer-research-studies

This discusses a few papers showing that CRISRP-Cas9 can cause "off target" mutations in a tumor suppressor gene called p53. If these mutations render p53 non functional it is possible that these cells can become cancerous

That is one of the specific risks identified although there are in theory other risks
Thanks for the link, a good read.

As somebody who kicks C++'s tires once in a while and is always put off by the incredible complexity of the language, and the complexity and friction and fragility of its workflow, I was sad not to see any explicit mention of pairing an ABI break with removal of the bad parts. (Yeah, I know, that might mean source-level backwards incompatibility...) Makes me wonder if it's ever even discussed at a high level.
Glumly inclined to agree with the latter half of your analogy there, that "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" is to "political parties can remain irrational longer than you can vote." On the other hand, there's power in numbers, and I keep wondering if some kind of equivalent to crowdfunding will emerge for lobbying and/or local politics. So much of the visibility seems to be at the national level, but a ton of the clout in terms of how things get done occurs on the city, township, county and state level. On one hand, that makes it a combinatoric explosion of complexity, in that you have 1:N:N:N just to get up to the state level, but it also lowers the boundary towards critical mass significantly. What's interesting here is that it looks like this has already been happening; at least from my end, I saw a significant amount of this sort of activity in the 2018 midterms. To some, it looked a little bit like a referendum. My question is how much further is needed for the critical mass to be achieved? Is it predicated on a generational shift?
This move often fails because you can never hike the rate enough, since you don't want to hurt borrowers. In other words, you have competing motives that don't reconcile.

It's also often seen as a desperate tactic, the kind of thing that is done right before capitulation. Which of course makes it even less likely to work.

Hello! Spinning Up author here.

Very reasonable point that it is not clearly explained why you need to store logp_pi in the buffer. But the reason is that it would require additional code complexity to calculate it on the fly later. The likelihood ratio requires the denominator to be on the _old_ policy, so if you wanted to compute it on the fly, you would need to have a second policy in the computation graph to preserve the old policy while you change the current policy. You could not simply do a stop_gradient on the current policy and get the same results.

My personal feeling is that tutorial-style explanations like this don't fit nicely into code comment flow. As a result, most tutorial-style descriptions went into material on the Spinning Up website rather than into the code. It isn't 100% comprehensive, certainly, but RL has an enormous surface area (there are tons and tons of little details that teaching material could dive into) and I feel pretty good about what we were able to cover. :)
Quite obviously. Google search would not exist if that wasn't the case.
> the company the other half.

How does that work?

Assuming a base state of

* Car costs $34000, subsidy is $4000, manufacturer pays $2000

How are the two following scenarios different:

* Car costs $34000, subsidy is $5000, manufacturer pays $2000

* Car costs $35000, subsidy is $6000, manufacturer pays $3000

It seems like the "manufacturer pays half" thing is just a trick to make the subsidy appear more palatable to voters/taxpayers, since effectively, the manufacturer is paying itself.

I was a WinCE developer - both .Net and MFC. Trust me, no one wanted to use WinCE for anything. Besides, MS abandoned WinCE with VS 2010.

I can’t speak for performance, but the resource requirements for Windows is huge compared to Linux and that really makes a difference in cloud environments when it comes to price (even excluding licensing cost) and startup time - that makes a difference when you need elasticity and to scale up and down fast.

You can do a lot with a 128MB/.25 vCPU Linux instance. You can barely get away with a 4GB RAM Windows instance with 1 vCPU.
At some point pentium4 had static branch prediction hints, but they are obsolete and no longer relevant.

Today __buitin_expect are mostly used to mark hot/cold branches. The compiler will normally optimize hot code for speed and cold code for size also will attempt to put cold code in separate cachelines and even pages. And other similar code layout optimizations.

Yeah, this is a common myth. Student loan payments in the US are limited to 10% of discretionary income for up to 20 years. If you make too little to pay off your loans on the standard 10 year plan you aren't just saddled with the debt forever.

> you are just failing to recognize that people who benefitted from buying 40 years ago are benefiting from 40 years of holding an investment.

No, that's in addition. No-one is saying that if someone bought a $400k house for $50k 40 years ago they should have to pay back the unearned $350k; they get to keep their investment gains and be just as well off as someone who buys a $400k house today. They just shouldn't get an extra tax break on top of that.

> People are in fact free to move wherever they want. They just can’t force others out of their homes because they think they deserve them more.

If charging a market price is "force" then people are being forced to not move to places where they want. Again, the mechanism that would move people out is exactly the same mechanism that currently stops other people moving in.

> You have the same opportunity as those 40 years ago did - go and live somewhere that is cheaper and where industry is going to develop because the economic conditions are right.

That's the opposite of what happened. 40 years ago those people moved into the very centre of the city, not to somewhere cheap. And they had that opportunity because the city wasn't filled up with 40 years' worth of moochers with tax breaks.

> communities that formerly bought locally produced goods

The communities I'm thinking of here never bought locally produced goods for most things. The communities set up along the railroads in the late 1800s never had enough of their own industry to make most things, and a lot of them in the Great Plains never had a climate fit to grow much beyond wheat and cattle. They owed their entire existence to the railroad, and the relatively lucky ones were able to transition to owing their entire existence to a highway when the rail industry bottomed out.

Both verbally and physically. Most times it were the poorer kids who did it.
Thank you for responding. Well, my point is that in particular the gradient on the likelihood ratio is what trips people up. They ask questions like 'why is this ratio not always 1' or similar. This is why I would say explaining what is going where here is critical, i.e. that we save the prior logp_pi (even though we could recompute it) to treat it as a constant value when computing the ratio/the gradient. That would be, from my perspective, the key pedagogical moment of a PPO tutorial. However his is purely subjective and I agree that one can feel differently about where to put explanations.

Either they have a working portfolio valuation model, and they missed this rather obvious case of linking a written call to its underlying, or they don't have a proper valuation model at all. If they actually do portfolio valuation by simply valuing each line and adding them, then it's not just wrong but gross incompetence. It would not be the first broker to blow up due to mispricing clients derivatives portfolios. The idea that a startup is letting millenials trade derivatives like this is absurd in the first place.
The issue with most kinds of mental health is that the more it affects you the less you're aware of the fact that it's affecting you.

My mental health, without any discernible disorders, reached a very low point last year where I essentially stormed out of a HR meeting because I was "toxic", the toxicity revolved around feelings of frustration due to the fact that I couldn't get anyone to look at a problem I had for six months, which led to me informing the internal providers of that service that I would not be using those services for the next project I was a part of. Which hurt many peoples feelings, I suppose.

As part of the stipend for staying (because, I had quit on the spot) I requested a therapist, I saw him a total of 15 times I believe and he coerced me to exercise a lot more, but ultimately failed to find anything "wrong" with me mentally and stated that my behaviour was quite healthy during that period.. (but he might have been just telling me what I wanted to hear as there's little value in antagonising me during therapy, probably).

Anyway, even with excercise, it's far-far too late, I've basically "turned-off" at work, I don't even try, my entire job has become avoiding doing my job.

I still come home tired, exhausted and utterly emotionally drained, but no work is done, and I don't learn, I don't excite my passion.

No winners.

I recently started interviewing in other companies, I'm hoping this feeling doesn't carry over, and I hope I haven't truly lost my passion.
> Student loan payments in the US are limited to 10% of discretionary income for up to 20 years.

No, they aren’t. You can choose an income contingent repayment plan that is limited that way, but it's not the default and servicers steer people beat served by those plans away from them in favor of staying on the standard plans and taking deferments.

Were you born blind or did you lose your vision later in life? I was born totally blind and grew up as computers became accessible. While I don’t use braille much now, I don’t understand how someone born blind can have basic literacy using only speech. Growing up reading books allowed me to understand basic sentence structure, spelling, etc. These are all important as a programmer considering a large part of the job is communicating your decisions and opinions. I also found braille to be very useful in math. I think that braille is critical for early education if you are blind. It’s less important if you lose your vision later in life and already are literate do to reading print growing up.

>For a system that is designed to be run in a consortia of highly regulated multinational corporates, all running Facebook signed code and access controlled by Facebook it simply makes no sense to deal with malicious actors at the consensus level. Why is this system designed to be byzantine tolerant at all rather than just maintaining a consistent audit log for compliance checks. The possibility that a Libra node run by Mastercard or Andressen Horrowitz would suddenly start running malicious code is such a bizarre scenario to plan for and is better solved by simply enforcing protocol integrity and through non-technical (i.e. legal) means.

BFT is still useful in that scenario as part of a defense-in-depth against compromise of some of the validators/nodes, yes even ones run by Mastercard or A16Z.

It’s certainly more difficult for that to happen in these settings, but given the state of the world with nation states rampantly hacking each other in any way they can of varying levels of sophistication, from social engineering to stealing user databases to stuxnet, having an extra layer defenses against that in a global currency is not superflous.

And that’s what Libra is, a global currency, not a mere payment system.

I think you've misunderstood the change in growth rate. It has dropped from 1.19% to 1.08% growth in the last five years or down 0.11%. If this trend held in the next five years it would drop to 0.97% growth by 2024 and in ~50 years it would be 0% growth, ie the population would stabilize.
