I don't think that's the market. It sounds more likely that you're just not negotiating well or selling yourself to your best advantage, or you're accepting a tradeoff for something else in return. My advice is to search for a new job ASAP seeking 50% more than what you're making now, tweak how you're applying and interview, and you'll have it within a year or less.

Remember also that remote work is becoming much more normal.
I think generally that is how many products and features work.

Funny to me that the cloud companies haven't put their status page on not-their-cloud.
But is that because the world has actually changed, of because they are young? Teens have always been counterculture and rejected the status quo. The real question is whether Facebook will be compelling to them when they grow up.

Correct, these temperatures are utterly useless for fusion.
It is plausible that if US govt was't able to contrive her current imprisonment via contempt of court charges, she would be dead.

Kind of amusing that a user named "shadowgovt" is vehemently arguing that the government is less malicious than many members of the public suspect.
I have been using WT.social yesterday and today and I generally like it. I just read a linked article about a meeting on a train, quite good. My user name is mark-watson2

I used GNU Social for a long while but when the host of my instance shut it down I didn’t create an account on another server instance. I liked the decentralized nature of GNU Social, but I think WT.social has more chance of getting traction.
I don't think trying to shove this model into a gradient-descent framework makes the most sense here. I'm an ML (industry) researcher and I highly doubt that AGI will be achieved with gradient descent on neural networks alone. Those may play a small role somewhere in the stack but the orchestration and reasoning will be managed by something else entirely. Neural networks today are fancy MLE machines --
nowhere close to reasoning machines, which require an "understanding" (whatever that means in this context) of dynamics with respect to the environment.

Seems more appropriate to start with a population of agents who reproduce at a rate proportional to their recent rewards, and allow them to die off at a rate inversely proportional to the same, a la a continuously-evolving genetic algorithm setup. You may have to modify the reward function to disincentivize behaviors which cause systemwide collapse, but that goes without saying.
You can't be serious. This is bog standard HN moderation.
Stadia isn't a device; it's a service. There is no "device itself", unless you count the bundle they sold that included a Chromecast, controller, and 3 months of the service + 3 months for a friend.

You can play Stadia on an Android phone, Chromecast, or a Chrome browser on a laptop or desktop.

The service is free; you pay for the game only.

The $10 per month is only for the Plus service or whatever it's called that gives you 4K resolution and 5.1 surround, and presumably some free games/deals based on the marketing.

The communication thus far has been shitty, that said.
There’s little question WeWork was a train wreck from a corporate governance and oversight standpoint.

Less clear if anything criminal happened but let’s wait and see what the AG comes up with.
Most of the fraud that is commitment with parties on both side of the transaction is for practical purposes undetectable and unprovable, no matter the resources available to parties investigating the fraud.

The only break you get is when one of the parties makes a mistake like using company networks to conspire or sours on the deal and rats everyone out. Then you get to roll them all up.

Also, using cut outs like family members or trusts create reasonable cause for doubt unless their is overwhelming evidence that the arrangement was fraudulent, no matter how obvious it seems on the face of it.

What have you read that gave you that impression?
Heck I have seen emails from Google itself, not any gmail username, but information from @google addresses landed in my Spam emails, making me double check the headers that if it is spoofed or real.
Why? Because your data is valuable enough to harvest so long as they don't have to task a single developer to spend 3 days building a DNS tunneling feature?
And Google broke their social network that was actually working (Google Reader), hoping that the now "homeless" users would flock to Google+.

I don't know why they thought that this kind of bullshit would work on "techies" (the core audience of Google Reader) - that just made them wake up and realize that Google's "Don't be Evil" motto was a sham...
I agree. I looked into it briefly (since I sorta already know Swift anyway and like the language) but I can't even run this stuff on Linux easily, so it's kind of useless for me so far. This doesn't in any way mean that Julia has a snowball's chance in hell of taking off though. Besides the language, Python had a decade of head start in terms of "batteries included". And people have gotten used to that particular brand of batteries.
Extremely interesting and extremely frustrating. I'm entering my fourth month learning Czech. Thanks for the comment.
>I often wonder how much of a head start the isolating nature of English gave for computing.

That's like saying "I wonder when you stopped beating your wife"; you assume there was a head start, when, in fact, the world's first commercial computer was German[1].

And until recently, natural languages had a near-zero effect on computing. Worst case, users ended up seeing messages which weren't grammatically perfect, and it wasn't a big deal.

>I wonder how linguistics and especially computational linguistics and NLP would have evolved in a non-Anglo culture, e.g. Slavic

Would have? NLP has only started to matter recently, at a time when it has to work in all languages from the get-go. The current evolution includes contributions of people from many languages and cultures.

And for that matter, English makes a lot of things harder.

Regardless of anything; isnt theere a literal wealth of real-estate knowledge to be had from what wework accomplished...?

Surely there will be some serious real-estate developments to come from this to the massive profit of those who have access to that knowledge...

(Are they the martin skreli of real-estate?)
See comment below. Just because it wasn't true for you, doesn't mean it's not true. I'm not talking about mocking services to run it; I'm talking about the development environment and sharing with a team of 20 or so on a code base that takes 45 minutes to compile without parallelizing the build. You also cannot mock GPU functions. There's simply no cuda emulator.
So if I bought my “name.rocks” I’ll have trouble using that as an email? I was looking forward to “firstname@lastname.rocks” and I never even considered it would be a problem. I’m disappointed
I can't wait for this tooling to advance. It would be amazing to have one IDE that came pre-configured to work with "every" language and work on code bases of any size. With the addition of language servers there has never been a better time to build such tooling.
Beria and the Beautiful Game
It can't, but it is a strange reality in which we absolve users of responsibility to manage their own network in order to protect them, in a way that exposes the users to new threats that even responsible ones can do very little about.
Sumerian, an agglutinative language, is an important plot point in a famous cyberpunk novel, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson[1] (which also popularized the word "avatar" as we use it today).

If you find the concept interesting, you will enjoy reading the novel.

In the videos I saw in general (again, not my thing, so a limited experience) there is a difference in production value.

On Instagram there is a tendency to push for that one perfect photo, on tiktok it looks like there is more a push for content. (obviously there is a continuity between them)

Especially with the "reply" functionality (I don't know how it is called, but you can reply to other users's video by making your own video that will appear the the side) the posts are often in the style of commentary.

In terms of online persona, on tiktok it is almost natural to post a video of your pimples/acne as funny video while on IG it would feel strongly out of place.
I wasn't addressing your point. I was addressing your wording.

It's picking a nit - I acknowledged that in the very first sentence of my response.

Argue for what you want to argue for - I probably agree. Just don't use that phrase that way. Or do - just know that you will be annoying me (and apparently others - my comment got more upvotes than it deserved) and distracting at least some of your audience from your argument.
For me, the tipping point were some Atom bugs that remained open for a long time[1], when I decided I didn't want to deal with those any longer, I went back to Sublime, which is what I was using before - so from my point of view, it is Atom itself that created its own demise. Of course I'm not denying that the competition from VS Code played a part, but at the same time I think that the Atom community could have addressed some UX issues a bit more promptly and maybe Atom would have had a better chance.

[1] in fact I've just checked and at least one of those bugs - #10720 - is still open, almost 4 years after it was created.
Imagine working at a company, that has these gigantic valuations, and you hold stock in this company. Since you probably don't have the insights to the actual finances of the company you, like everyone else, base the company's valuation on the private market. Then only to find out that your shares you thought were worth $100, are now worth $15 (except much worse).

In the meantime, your CEO walks away with over a billion dollars in his pocket on a handshake deal to basically shut up and leave.

I would be furious if I was an employee that dedicated time and energy to this company.
That's something for Facebook (the company) to fear rather than hold dear, I think.

I too was 'logged off except' a wealth of university-related groups. Then I was 'logged off during' writing up my dissertation, and finally just 'logged off'.

(And now I'm still contributing to user count, while continually thinking I should just log in to delete my account, as I've heard a couple of times from people that thought I was 'on Facebook' or 'what happened to your profile' and maybe more people that think I'm just ignoring them than I'm aware of.)

Agglutinative languages would probably work as well as isolating languages, since they tend to work by just shoving things on the end of words rather than inflecting them. It does potentially raise a segmentation problem, but I'm not really sufficiently familiar with any agglutinative language to know how hard a problem it is in practice.

The difficult languages are inflectional languages, where you make things completely different instead of just tacking something on the end.

It's worth pointing out that all whitespace is completely optional in Fortran, the first programming language--doi=0,10 is exactly the same as DO I = 0, 10. So it's not like early computing relied heavily on gratuitous whitespace.
There was a game that got progressively harder like this. But it didn't use AI, or space invaders.

Your ship was a blue triangle and the enemy was the green triangles.

Every new turn, the enemy would be a set of copies of all your movements in the previous rounds, with an extra ship.

Does anyone know the name of what I'm talking about or has a link?
So, use a random strategy and measure the entropy of your opponent's behavior. And modify accordingly, as needed.

A lot of the best ml right now is effectively about making better conditional probability distributions. You always get random output, but skewed according to the circumstances, and sharp according to confidence in the result.
At least you’re forthcoming.
To think in terms of there even being a next "incumbent in the space" implies a misunderstanding of what is driving Mastodon adoption.

The differentiator behind Mastodon is federation via the ActivityPub protocol. And Mastodon is just one implementation of ActivityPub. More are being built every day.

It's likely that a world with ubiquitous ActivityPub would look very different from the social media landscape of today -- Mastodon is a little like Twitter, Pixelfed is a little like Instagram, Peertube is a little like Youtube, but they all syndicate their content to each other. So as ActivityPub grows the conventional categories blur. What happens if WordPress decides to add ActivityPub support to the Core?

I can't read the future but I think the real metric to look at is ActivityPub adoption. No one is tracking it very well right now to my knowledge. And if it hits a certain critical mass I think it will start to reconfigure the current categories of social media. It will also bring down barriers to entry which may discourage the rise of incumbents similar to today's crop.

> There is no FDIC equivalent for Bitcoin - unless there's an exchange that guarantees replacement of lost/stolen Bitcoins? Replacing Bitcoin seems a difficult proposition when fiat currency can just be created out of thin air but Bitcoin cannot - once it's lost, it's lost, and can only be replaced in a zero-sum way.

I didn't realize you were laboring under the misconception that the FDIC has the authority to mint money, like a central bank. That's why I didn't address it. Now I can. It doesn't. The FDIC is funded by premiums paid by its member institutions, not by creating currency out of thin air; an insurance scheme for Bitcoin depositors in a bank that provided fractional-reserve Bitcoin accounts could be funded in the same way. It could even be provided by the FDIC, which already provides deposit insurance for deposits denominated in foreign currencies.

> Isn't the fact that transactions are not instant widely perceived in the Bitcoin community as one of, if not the, greatest barrier to adoption?

Bitcoin transactions are instant; they reach everywhere in the mempool in a matter of seconds. It's just that until they're a few blocks deep in the blockchain, they might be reversed, like bank transactions can be for several months. This usually takes half an hour or so, and that's a hassle for some kinds of transactions. However, I think bigger barriers to adoption include the network effect of existing currencies, a sketchy reputation, and the fact that Bitcoin exchanges are now illegal in China.

> there is also cash which allows for instant anonymous transactions in the physical world which is sufficiently widely accepted to be used to the exclusion of banks, if you so choose

Cash limits you to transacting with people you can meet in person, which condemns you to poverty unless you are very lucky indeed.
Is it recommended to fill the “Online Presence” in the online ESTA application?
Unfortunately his view of sunray misses the fact that that is a massive market with a significant use case in govt/healthcare. Sun may have been early and had crap for marketing, but the idea was good and there certainly is a market for it.
Wow, I swear every time I read one of these salary threads the "typical" salary for a FAANG engineer jumps by 50k.

Not doubting it, it's just fucking nuts. I do wonder though what percentage of engineers are making that type of money though? How typical is it really?
Hey, personal experience and to be fair for them, Google does occasionally give me ads about a Haas CNC machine. I really want one. But I don't have the disposable $100k for one and I don't have the space... nor do I have 3 phase power. But I do want one and haven't bought one. So, good on them, right?
The fascinating thing is that even with half of someone's brain removed, they can go on to live a completely normal life, graduate college and be fully intellectually intact.

We really know so little about the brain and how it functions. I think the future will be less using implants to augment our brain and more figuring out how we can unlock the already powerful biological functions of it.

I followed up on the research article this is based on, which is from 2013. In short: it has been reasonably well cited and followed up on with additional studies, and there is statistically significant improvements in tinnitus in experiments---but as of yet, still not enough data to recommend clinical usage. The technique is based on trying to desychronize maladaptively synchronized neurons in the auditory center which create the perception of the tinnitus sound (obviously then, this will only be relevant for those with who do not have tinnitus due to a physical issue). However, the proposed pathophysiological mechanism this treatment technique is trying to address is still somewhat speculative:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26868680

Mathematical modelling provides some support:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31212443

Here's a recent related article from Stanford:

Acoustic coordinated reset therapy for tinnitus with perceptually relevant frequency spacing and levels (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-49945-w)

My overall impression: this is cool. There is some valid science going on here, and I would be happy to use it as a placebo effect at the very least. It would be nice to update the sounds provided by the github repo according to recent findings.
Nothing and Just are constructors. Constructors need not be the same type. The whole point of a sum type is that you can construct it in multiple ways, after all.

In this case Nothing is immediately a value of type MaybeInteger. Just on the other hand has the type of a function :: Integer -> MaybeInteger.

So they don't have the same type, but Nothing and Just 5 have the same type, MaybeInteger.

For pedagogical purposes I pretended to work with MaybeInteger instead of Maybe from Haskell. The definition of Maybe is:

data Maybe a = Nothing | Just a

or alternatively

data Maybe a where
Nothing :: Maybe a
Just :: a -> Maybe a

I didn't want to simultaneously explain polymorphism and sum types, but the way you can combine them is vastly more useful than either feature alone.
What makes it bad faith is:

> I own the copyright and will use an automated system to spam massive amounts of complaints to anything that even remotely looks like my content without even thinking about whether it's fair use

> sending these complaints costs nothing for me and require lengthy appeals and manual review for the affected party who will likely face reductions in revenue in the mean time

> if someone successfully appeals the complaint I'll just send it again until they tire of it because I suffer no consequences

Fun fact: the Subway I had while vacationing in Reykjavik (where I brought my Xbox One) for 3 months was the best Subway I've ever had in my life. Sometimes having something familiar in a new location is just what you need to spice up your vacation. :)

Not gay, but my wife is Korean and we currently live in an area with a very large Korean population. It means a substantial diversity of friendly culture and services that she can take advantage of that only really exist in a handful of other places in the world outside of her home country.

Charlotte is my hometown. I actually considered moving back after 5 years in Seattle doing the FAANG thing, but it's not really comparable to other big cities in some ways. It's still a great place for the right type of person, but I wouldn't have been happy there. I ended up taking my remote job with a Seattle-salary to Raleigh instead, and am really digging it.

The main issues I had with Charlotte are:
- The banker culture downtown is too formal
- The live music scene is in a bad spot (the gentrification of the southend area + NoDa killed off the best venues)
- Calling any neighborhood "Walkable" is kind of a stretch. It would be hard to live in Charlotte without a car. Even downtown is littered with huge blocks of parking lots. It really kind of terrible to walk down those blocks in the summer due to the heat and lack of shade.

But it's still a pretty solid place with lots of opportunity, even if it's not everyone's scene. Also, the light rail has been a great addition to the city and the walkability issue around rail stations is definitely improving.
