Doesn’t it depend on what you mean by guarantee? The test can’t get 100% certainty, since theoretically you could be flipping a coin each time and miraculously getting it right, for 1000 times in a row. The chance of that is minuscule (1/2^1000), but it’s nonzero. So we’d have to define a cutoff point for guaranteed. The one used generally in many sciences is 1/20 chance (p = 0.05), so that seems like a plausible one, and with that cutoff, I think you’d need five questions passed in a row (1/2^5 = 1/32). Generally, if you want a chance of p, you need log2(1/p) questions in a row passed correctly. However, that only works if your only options are random guessing and having learned the heuristic. If you sorta know the heuristic (eg. right 2/3 of the time), then you’d get the 5 questions right ~13% ((2/3)^5) of the time, which isn’t inside the p = 0.05 range. So you also need to define a range around your heuristic, like knowing it X of the time. Then you’d need log(1/p)/log(1/X) questions. For example, if you wanted to be the same as the heuristic 19/20 times and you wanted to pass the p = 0.05 threshold, you’d need log(1/0.05)/log(1/(19/20)) ~= 59 questions.

Nothing he did was hidden though. His board knew what he was doing when WeWork leased his properties, his board knew about all these things. Journalists have been writing about this weird arrangement for years. If anything I could see investors sue the board and the company on civil grounds, but if everything is above board is it a crime? I could see it being a crime if he had been doing this in secret. His actions definitely seems wrong and stupid, but is it fraud?
The argument is that it's plausible, not certain.
It's also the fact that JavaScript is an event-driven language which matches the impendence of the architecture of many games.
His extradition has been requested, I should have made that clearer.
From the moment he was removed from the embassy and locked in jail the Swedish prosecutor lost all interest to continue the case, and by a coincident the US extradition order came in.

That is how much anyone cared about defending the liberty of the alleged rape victim.
Author here :) The system the library was intended for has never been described. The intention was that Ansible had strong parity with what the library offered, so that made a useful POC integration to get it into working shape.
It's how in Rock Paper Scissors you can probably do better against a smart opponent by playing randomly than by trying to trick them. At least they can't get in your head, because there's nothing there. You won't do better than chance, but at least you can't do much worse.
Seems like you're talking about autocompletion, not autocorrect. In autocorrect you have completed the word, hit space and then the software fixes your typos. In autocomplete you get a list of suggested words while typing and you can tap them if your intended word is shown.
Not often.

Worse still, the stuff I'm "tested" on in interviews is often unrelated to the job spec.

And of course, the job spec is often not very well aligned with the real job spec (what one actually does every day).
I get that; I think everyone gets that. Before, with cooperative hostile programs, you could block their access to the Internet by managing DNS. Now you can't. But cooperative hostile programs are a very strange threat model! Hostile code that can talk to the network --- which has to be your threat model regardless! --- doesn't have to use RFC1035-style DNS to look up names at all.

For this concern to make sense, you have to imagine threat actors determined enough to do bad things if they can look up hostnames with your standard DNS, but not determined enough to use some alternative lookup or C&C mechanism if standard DNS isn't available. Who are those threat actors? If they're browser-resident --- which they have to be if Firefox defaulting to DoH is your big concern! --- why can't they just do their own DoH regardless of what Firefox decides to do?
There's nothing to suggest that Heliogen's design is in any way particularly suitable for transmitting heat to somewhere else or for putting a cement kiln or blast furnace at the focus of the mirrors. On the contrary, their pilot plant sites the focus at the top of a tall tower, like many existing CSP power plants, which is a particularly inconvenient place to put a cement kiln, though not unheard of.

For driving machinery you probably want lower temperatures, like the 600° existing coal, nuclear, and CSP power plants use for driving machinery. Coal and nuclear plants could easily generate higher temperatures, but there are a variety of practical difficulties that arise.
Your response is the exact type of response he tries to get from people. My dad, him, and me all enjoy poking people, it’s a genetic thing I think.
I want it. And now I have it. And I like it.
It does work approximately like this, but this way it would be taxing the value added from imports and profits. Value added by paying someone for labour wouldn't be included as the government will get money for that through income tax.
This will be interesting. If he did even the most basic work to cover his ass, like memorializing these agreements, getting some kind of board approval, nominally recusing himself from the decisions, etc, it’s going to be almost impossible to prosecute him.

Which is a bit of a shame, of course, but the business judgment rule is pretty much a cornerstone of our laws at this point.

Now if he falsified records or hid things on the other hand, it could get fascinating to watch.
I do not think so, no. Especially not if it was released to the world for free.

> You don't need a "multi-hundred-dollar GPU" to play modern games.

If you want the equivalent visual quality of the service, I don't think a 4 year old $120 GPU is enough. Maybe you don't care about the game settings, but I was going for apples to apples.
Why do you bring books and movies then? "You seriously can't mature through being alone in your own thoughts?"

>The fact is that Stadia makes it possible to play games on devices where it previously was impossible is pretty compelling. (even if it's at 720p).

It makes it possible to play modern AAA games on devices where it previously was impossible.

That's a dramatic difference. There are plenty of incredible gaming experiences you can have on low-powered hardware, without needing a clunky streaming-as-a-service infrastructure to back them up. They just won't be the latest FIFA/Elder Scrolls/Call of Battlefield: Modern Duty.

Honestly, I tend to think that having environments that don't have full fat AAA games available is good for the gaming market as a whole. It opens up markets for indie developers and new formats. I'm thinking of the Wii and Switch for comparison-- if they had been built with the same spec hardware as their competitors, they would have been flooded with ports of the big multi-platform franchises, rather than the unique experiences they're known for.

Sonme of my favourite gaming experiences include playing Zangband on an already-obsolete Pentium II in 2003, and Cave Story on a pre-Atom netbook starring a 900MHz Celeron-M.
Allegory:

Running entity A performs action at time t_sub(0) that costs n_sub(t_sub(0)) currency. Response to this action by the counterparty creates a cascading tree of potential new actions, each of which require individual “reconciliations” (new actions, which each require a new response), defined by the probability distribution of potential responses->new actions. We either know these distributions a priori based on our initial conditions, or we can create them based on an initialization function.

The net present value of the expected action to these new responses can be evaluated with respect to the NPV of the current holdings of the running entity’s portfolio, and that difference can be treated as the loss function.

I’m not an ML researcher, so I apologize if my lack of terminology makes this sound stupid to you but that’s my initial thinking.

Feel free to email me if you’d like to discuss further, I’ve been tangentially working in this area for a while but this really gets my sparkplugs going.
I assumed 5 times in an hour meant once every 12 minutes.

Offlineimap + mu + mu4e is my current setup. I use gmail, but pull it all down with offlineimap. So it is all backed up even if I lose access to google. MU indexes your mail and gives you very fast search - much better than gmail's search. And mu4e lets you read your email in emacs.
For those businesses that import raw materials, and sell on in the UK for a small margin then yes they would be unviable. They would have to increase that margin.

If they are exporting, then this would not affect them.

If they are selling on for a large margin, then they would be able to absorb at least some of the tax.
I realize I can configure Firefox, but I am against my browser not using what the OS provides. Since no OS currently uses DoH, I have no real incentive to set one up. Plus, the number of DNS software that has added DoH is pretty small.
Link time inlining would solve this.

Pattern matching goes significantly beyond checking “foo.type”. It adds the ability to specify exactly (as exact as the language and your data allows) what case you’re dealing with. For example, a list of length three where the first and last elements are empty strings. Having to specify this with a series of if statements often leads to verbose and error-prone code, but it’s trivial in a language like reasonml:

switch (mylist) {
| [“”, _, “”] => x
| _ => y
}

Moreover, pattern matching usually involves pulling information out of the object at the same time. In the above example, maybe you want to do something with the middle element:

switch (mylist) {
| [“”, middle, “”] => middle ++ “!”
| [“foo”, x] => String.reverse(x)
| _ => “never mind”
}

All of this would be possible to do with a series of if conditions, but significantly harder to read and implement correctly.

The power of pattern matching grows clearer as more complex data and rules are introduced. For example, it works just as well with nested lists:

switch (mylist) {
| [outer, [middle, [inner]]] => outer ++ middle ++ inner ++ “!”
| _ => “never mind”
}

While having a type system is helpful in all of the ways a type system is generally helpful, there’s nothing about this code which wouldn’t also be handy in a dynamic language like JavaScript. For further evidence of this see Erlang and Elixir, dynamic languages which make heavy use of pattern matching.

I purchased a domain for my business 10 years ago

The domain cost $500,000

The business did well for a while, but eventually died

Someone just offered to buy the domain

The offer is $1 million

But he is offering $1 million in preferred stock in a new company as if I was an investor.

He says that the company is worth $10 million

So I would be getting 10% ownership of the company - no cash.

Do I have to pay taxes on this or can I wait until the stock is public or the company if acquired?

Should I ask for stock option instead?

How do I ensure I do not lose the domain?

Should I lease it for X years with option to buy to ensure if the company goes bankrupt it would not be seen as an asset?
Would leasing affect my taxes?

Thank you

So your recommendation to having your mail not go directly to spam is to run it for a decade? Got it! :-)

I run a mail server for a few thousand users that has been going for ~20 years, and have regularly had to spend significant time figuring out adjustments the big mail providers make along the way. Spending a day roughly every year figuring out and implementing countermeasures isn't that bad, when you get paid for it. But I really don't have the time to do it for my personal e-mail.

Your answer reminds me of something I heard a greenskeeper say about the big garden he maintains, I think in the UK: Tourists come to me all the time and ask "How can I get my lawn to look like this?" I reply: "The secret is to roll the dew off the lawn every morning." "That's it?" "Just do that for 300 years and your lawn will look like this."

This is commonly brought up but isn't correct simply because what matters more is generally the absolute amount of disposable income you have, not the percentage of your total salary.

If you make 400k / year (typical for a FAANG senior engineer, which plenty of people people reach in their mid-to-late 20s) your expenses might break down as:

- 160k taxes

- 50k housing (luxury 1 bedroom in SF or Palo Alto)

- 10k food (eat at work on weekdays for free, $200 a weekend to eat out at nice restaurants)

- 10k transportation (Tesla Model 3 like everyone else)

= 230k total

So you end up with ~170k a year of disposable income while living very well. If you were willing to cut expenses to the bone (roommates is the big one, cook for yourself, old car) you'd probably end up at around 200k of disposable income. 170k-200k is more than most software engineers can hope to make in gross income in the Midwest. Sure, you might not want to buy a house for $2M, but with just two years of savings you can move to the Midwest and buy a house outright. After 10 years (remember, most of these people would be in their late thirties) you could easily save ~$2M before investment returns and retire to a low cost of living area.

For people who are not tech workers and live in the Bay Area making <$100k / year, there is definitely a great argument that the cost of living is way too high. For software engineers, it's worth remembering the cost of living is so high only because software engineers get paid so much.
I don't believe they tout the Impossible Whopper as Vegan, but Vegetarian. A recent review of the burger by like ZDNet or some source like that I read this week states that the patty is cooked on the burners along with beef patties as well so it is not vegan.

> I get it, everyone vacations differently. But playing video games while out on vacation is like bringing a Subway sandwich to a 3-star steakhouse restaurant. You are there to not-home.

You say you get it, but...

I like home. When I'm on vacation, I mostly staycation, because that's the time I'm not out seeing people and doing activities to perform "happy" and "fun".

> I'm not home so I can make much better money in a short timespan

I'm not sure business travel is the same for everyone, either...

I often take my personal laptop (as well as my corp laptop) on business travel, and if I were a gamer, I could totally see bringing a game system. It's not like my salary is higher when I'm traveling, so after the purpose-of-trip all-day meetings and catching up in the hotel on the normal work that still has to be done after that, I typically just want to veg for a couple hours before sleep.
I'm speaking for my individual case and others I work with where we have codebases of over a million lines of c++, with many header-only libraries. On an 80-core server make -j can still take 3-4 minutes, and that uses all the resources on the machine. Trust me, I wish I could have something as fast that's not centralized. The closest I can think of is either a VM (slow/wasteful), or a container. The container would be really easy if everyone used vscode with the container development plugin, but not everyone on the team does.

For those that don't, it's much more friction to remember to start it up, etc.
Only if every step of the chain is in your country. This tax would only affect the sale of goods in your own country, not those that you then go on and export.

Yes, it would increase the price of bananas in the UK as we currently don't tax food. But, it might make an apple relatively cheaper. That would then help to keep money in the UK as it could be grown here; employing people in the UK who then pay tax here.
Fascinating. I know the work these physicists are doing is vastly more complex and involved, but I can't help but draw comparison to my own musings.

I've been chipping away at various angles of information theory as a hobby for a few years now, conceptually for me a black hole in the traditional sense is like compressing random bits to a single zero or one - there'd be no way of getting information back out in the original order. Encoding a higher dimensional representation holographically would be like having a side channel of information I guess, so you could have the 0 or 1 as the 'black hole' but still can reference external state data to reconstitute meaning from it. Entropy is preserved, and laws of maths and physics are no longer being broken.

Say, I can divide a sequence of bits by 2 if they're even, or add one then divide by two if they're odd, repeatedly until the result is 1 (after which the sequence repeats indefinitely, but we can stop at 1 - similar but different to the collatz conjecture). If I know the sequence of operations I can rebuild the original data, but encoding that sequence of operations is the exact same amount of information as the original sequence (in my tests at least).

I'm kind of comforted by the fact that it may turn out black holes aren't destroying information, merely transforming it.
I just spent 15m on Amazon trying to prod the recommendation algorithm into finding something I actually wanted to buy so I could get above the "free delivery threshold".

Think about that. I wanted to spend money. I wasn't too fussy what it was. Amazon has a decade of my purchasing and browsing history.

And they still failed.
Someone was asking me about trigering fusion with this, and i think fusion at the core of the sun is at millions °C, and at the surface you get 5500°C, so beacuse photons carry entropy and the photons of the surface is what you see, you will never be hotter than the surface of the sun, even as much rays you can concentrate. It is not a mather of how much rays you get but of pure entropy. Hotter means more entropy. You can not create more entropy in this case.

Please someone correct me if im wrong.
Certainly English's morphosyntactic simplicity helped out NLP; your phrase "minimum viable model" hits the nail on the head. But increasingly over the last 5-10 years, I think there is a lot of progress on techniques for handling morphological complexity. Some of the unsupervised tokenization methods that first saw use for English (eg Goldsmith's work) now sees play for agglutinative languages: see here for example[0]. So its not clear to me if NLP in a non-Anglo culture would just use the same techniques (arriving at practical achievements a decade later) or if there would be fundamentally different techniques that are totally unobvious to me now.

Re your point on language being a "[f]uzzy probabilistic mess" -- language is absolutely NOT a fuzzy probabilistic mess and its a damn shame that NLP based its success on black-box models, because it means no one bothers realizing that language isn't a mess at all. See Jelinek's law of speech recognizer accuracy [1]. Simply because we get results using messy black box models doesn't mean that's how things work under-the-hood.

In a sense, yes - specifically if libc could be link-time inlined.

I don't think many people are proposing that for libc though because it would shut down the possibility to patch libc for anything that has been link-timed inline, and more generally expose the internal implementation of libc in a way that will make evolving it very difficult.

That is, link-time inlining will see a lot more use within an application before it will ever apply to system libraries.

My point is that I've never had problems in that decade, not that it took a decade to fix. I think on two or three occasions, mail to a gmail user mysteriously bounced, but it went away on re-try.

I understood the reputation problem from the beginning instead of banging my head against it. Why I understood that is because I did some research into running mail servers before diving into it.
