I'm not sure its preposterous. Based on what I've read she and her team focussed on teasing out abstraction and modularity features in CLU based on experience building previous large/medium scale software systems.

It doesn't preclude others inventing before, after or at the same time. Nor the same ideas being explored in other fields earlier with other terminology or focus.

I'm sure there is some field of human endeavour that has explored and documented the same ideas in a different context much earlier.
Won't the regulators eventually patch the law so they can't use that exploit?
The problem with electron isn't JavaScript, it's running an entirely seperate instance of an infamously memory hogging web browser, that comes with an enormous amount of features that aren't utilized by the application. The JavaScript runtime itself is not going to cause noticable slowdowns or memory use, especially so if you already have one running anyway as is the case for Firefox.
Very interesting stuff, I'll have to spend some time digesting this as it's relevant to some research interests of mine.

This might be a dumb question, but one thing I'm having trouble understanding is your use of the phrase 'data driven' here.

In the section "Solving Ordinary Differential Equations" you describe a method that seems to be able to (inefficiently) solve differential equations without having to take in some 'data', but instead only needing to know `f(u, t)`.

In the later section, where you introduce the Physics Informed Neural Network, it seems (but I could be misunderstanding) that you are assuming I have measurements of the actual solution and we're training the network with that data. Is this correct?

I was initially imagining a method where say I know the solution to the linear part of the differential equation and then train the network just using the non-linear part without having to have any data.

I guess this is key. Most places in the UK aren't that far from a town.

Does "metro area" have a precise definition? Would an small to medium UK town count?

Same for me. Remember the noise since I was a small child. Always thought it was normal. Hearing tests consistently come back perfect.

But yeah, hearing tests cover a very tiny portion of the spectrum. Audiology, in this regards, seems to be completely divorced from the frequencies people hear in real life. In reality, the vast majority of hearing tests barely cover the frequency range of human voice - let alone frequency ranges for music or even tinnitus.

I asked my audiologist if it might be possible to cover a wider range of frequencies and she seemed flabbergasted that someone would even request such a thing.

So, yeah. If you have tinnitus, or music isn't sounding as nice to you anymore, or for some reason bass frequencies sound off - well, you won't find out with a traditional hearing test.

DMT can also be smoked or injected, the reason why oral consumption requires the MAOI is because it prevents an enzyme in your liver* from destroying the DMT.

The effects of smoking it are only ~15 minutes long from what I've heard. Blowing it up each others nose can't be that common recreationally at least given that there's much easier ways to consume it (smoking it).
News flash. That’s part of marketing. Not programming.

The past decades and even now, people tend to expect programmers to do everything related to tech.

This fairytale is why so many fail.
I actually just wrote a bit about this on an interview at brandfetch with regards to browserless.io (https://blog.brandfetch.io/automating-browsers-with-browserl..., wish I could deeplink the section that's relevant). The TL;DR here is get really good at both your written and verbal communication. You're nothing if you can't properly articulate what you're building, for whom, and respond to critical feedback. This lone skill helps immediately in just about every aspect of running a business: programming, sales, and more. You need to be able to interact with your audience in a way that is concise and clear, and communication skills are how you do that.

Write, speak, blog and keep on doing it!
Tinc is mentioned in the post.
So if you're saying hand-carved woodblock printing should be considered a "press", sure the Chinese had a "press." If you're going to tell me that the printing press could not have been the important factor because a hand-carved woodblock typeset is just as economical as an actual press with metal movable type, I'm willing to debate you on that.
That's funny, because as an atheist, I can step back and say that for whatever unimaginably horrible thing that's happening, it's all just a random walk.

So I find satisfaction in that nothing matters anyways, and the best we can do is try to live a good life while we're here, and not take any of it too seriously. Because it's all random and largely out of my control, there's no rational basis for worry.

It's nice to see a Christian that reached the same conclusion with a totally different process :)

I tested this on a fresh install of Fedora 31, so I didn’t really see any benefit of running it on a LiveUSB. As I mentioned in the article, the wc implementation I used for comparison has been compiled locally with gcc 9.2.1 and -O3 optimizations. I’ve also listed my exact system specifications there. I’ve used the unprocessed enwik9 dataset (Wikipedia dump), truncated to 100 MB and 1 GB.

IMHO make is not a great target for code generation. I.e. cmake should probably compile to something like ninja (the way meson does, actually I haven't checked if cmake could potentially compile to ninja).

Cmake is a weird tool, it's kind of ok, one can see why it was built, but it is astonishing how little benefit it provides over autoconf+automake as a makefile generator.

The thing about pure Makefiles is: they don't scale well. They usually start simple, and with project-growth the accumulate parameters, features and tasks, until they become an unbearable maintenance burden. I remember working on a project where I deleted a Makefile, and rewrote it from scratch, just because it contained the tinkering of about 10 devs, most of which were not actively developing the project anymore. In the end it was a magnitude smaller and faster. But: I am pretty sure it has either grown massively again over time, or it has fallen out of use.

A broad first aid course will take more than an hour. (The Wilderness First aid courses I've taken are a full weekend.)

However, you can cover a lot of the basic things you're likely to encounter in civilization pretty quickly (if very cursorily). Probably most important is the basic approach to take, things to watch for, blood safety, etc. It's not going to be a real first aid course but a quick familiarization of things to watch for and actions to take. (Cleaning wounds, etc.)

The natural result of autodead comments. Heavy mod censorship. The inability to speak about mod censorship.

And of course HN kowtows to US surveillance interests. Some accounts get special privileges and vote brigades are allowed by some. Finally those against such interests such as Snowden or Assange get special treatment.

Having an open, fair, unbiased, uncensored discussion or such issues on HN is impossible.

Maybe /ʝ/? That's the palatal version of /ʒ/, which explains your desire to add a /j/ in there.

The Wikipedia I linked is about the merging of <ll> and <y> to /ʝ/ if you want to read more. Interestingly, I don't hear this a lot in the northern Mexican Spanish I hear, even though all of Central America is marked as merged.

I didn't read it correctly the first time, and I was wrong to call it out in the first place. The difference between /ʝ/ and /ʒ/ is not so big for me to have said anything.

Weather the storm, do not pay the extortion. Most of these guys are shake down artists and when they realize there is not going to be a payout, they will move on to their next victim. Many of them are using rented botnets and dont want to waste their own money on a non payer, unless of course you do pay up, if you do that then they will keep at it and share/sell your info to others, things will get much worse.
Indeed. To select one data point: had you been born in Russia in 1923 you had only a 32% chance of making it to 1946. infant mortality, famine and then WW2 meant that 68% of the 1923 cohort died before they were 23.
Gotcha, I misunderstood what you were getting at.
>I am not trying to troll but genuinely interested in figuring out the boundaries of these proposed boycotts.

No problem, I'm grateful for your comments.

The difference is subtle but important. First of all, the Chinese users of my service or a minority of a minority. Their participation has little to no effect on the direction of the site. Their $5/mo subscription fee is not going to move mountains. The kinds of investments I'm referring to are much larger, and require treading softly to avoid insulting the Communist Party of China.

Second, because I've pubically condemned China, these users will have to go out of their way to use my services, which would amount to tacit agreement with these principles. I would be happy to support them. It's not individual Chinese citizens that I have a problem with, it's the actions of the government as a whole.

As a lifelong atheist there are plenty of things that matter to me: the well-being of people (particularly those around me), peace, justice, climate change, etc.

>none of the ones I’ve read have posted the test sets up

I think the earliest(?) entry[1] in this "series" (the one done in Haskell) had their test input shared alongside the source code, and it has been referenced in some others (often multiplied several times over, as the original isn't very big). Beyond that it's ASCII only, the contents matter little.

>nobody seems to want to go to that much effort to get coherent comparisons

I think nobody really wants to get any coherent comparisons, because this thing isn't really a competition between the entries themselves.

I don't "fear" an "asm.js apocalypse". It's just the next step in the arms race between those who would have the Internet be like television, and those who would prefer it not. I'm one of the people who would have rather had the web stay more like Gopher and less like Java, but that's not the predominant opinion. We're going to lose the document-oriented declarative web because the web is financed by advertising. The spice must flow-- the ads must not be allowed to be blocked.

WASM is different between Emscripten was always a fun curiosity, and WASM is being "marketed" to developers as "get native app performance in a browser". "Modern" Javascript has been able to deliver this future for a few years now, but it lacked the marketing and tooling to make it mainstream. Flash and Java were attempts to move to that future that didn't pan out.

Having IDA Pro for WASM is all well and good, but doing binary reverse engineering on every single website isn't practical.

The web, as it has been, was nice. We're not going to get to keep it. I'm unhappy with it, but I'm resigned to it.

The article mentions him (but not by name) as the launderer of Malaysian PM Najib's loot.
Here's a perverse aside, I suspect once you get much over $10k to hide, each 10x increase in the amount actually makes it easier, not harder. Reasoning: if you've got a small amount, transaction costs eat it up quickly and there's little incentive for others to get involved.

If you've got $100m there are entire ecosystems of consultants offering to "help you put that money to work." Identifying the more "cooperative" ones willing to look the other way or sidestep certain barriers is probably not too hard. And with $100m to hide, if it costs $5m to get the job done, that may seem like a good deal.

Back when I sold my startup to an F500 acquirer, within days of the acquisition hitting the news I started getting calls on my non-public, pretty closely guarded, mobile number from financial advisors, investment bankers and consultants. Everyone from Goldman Sachs on down. One of them pitched me on how I could "shelter" funds. I asked him how and he walked me through a byzantine scheme that seemed pretty shady - and I didn't even have anywhere close to "real" money compared to even a fledgling banana-republic despot.
I'm learning German, and only found out last weekend that the reason Germans pronounce W's as V is because they don't hear the difference. I was trying to get my (German) gf to explain why some words start with a "V" sound and some with a "W" sound, and she couldn't tell the difference. It's all the same sound to them. I now know how to pronounce German W's properly (the sound exactly halfway between W and V). Of course, they pronounce V like F, so I still have to get used to that ;)
Author here. I think you should go through the article again. I think it's quite readable, and there are no "hand-optimizations" as you say. Also, the single-core implementation was already faster than the C version - the multithreaded version was only done to explore different methods of concurrency in Go.

Hope that clarifies things.
First of all, the pyramids were not built by slaves

Of course most of the labor used for the pyramids were slaves. That was never in serious doubt, Zahi Hawas "patriotic" claims notwithstanding...
I don't understand what you mean here. Are you saying the palaces, the estates from which they derive income even if they don't own them as you say were all acquired prior to their becoming heads of state? Or are you arguing that they're not heads of state? (in which case are you suggesting they're private citizens with privately made wealth). Still don't see the relevance here.

>In the later section, where you introduce the Physics Informed Neural Network, it seems (but I could be misunderstanding) that you are assuming I have measurements of the actual solution and we're training the network with that data. Is this correct?

Yes, this is the PINN method M.Raissi, P.Perdikaris, and G.E.Karniadakis: use a physical underpinning as a function to help the learning but relax towards the data.

>I was initially imagining a method where say I know the solution to the linear part of the differential equation and then train the network just using the non-linear part without having to have any data.

These are the mixed neural differential equations that I have been showcasing with DiffEqFlux.jl

https://github.com/JuliaDiffEq/DiffEqFlux.jl#mixed-neural-de...

So it's just different methods by different people / different groups (for different purposes).
Right, so when I’m trying to process a network packet in about a microsecond (a reasonable target for financial trading software), Go’s GC rules it out. Many low-level, high-performance systems language tasks aren’t feasible in Go for similar reasons.

That doesn’t make it a bad language, but it’s not universally applicable either.
So did it just stood there in the middle of the desert or were there cities and busy streets near it?
I can't even fathom what they were thinking when they decided to build these massive monuments...
Yes, exactly - good suggestion. My bet is on the outside of the pyramids having had lots of similarities.
The key is to tell them what it means, and then ask if they think it is correct. You learn about them from their interpretation of their own results, the symbology is pretty arbitrary.

"I imagined a small dark cube with a light in the middle".

"Cube represents self, do you think small and dark with light in the middle is a good representation of how you perceive yourself?"

"Not really because I'm actually much more ____" When given this context, I found many people will give surprisingly long and interesting justifications for or arguments against their answers.

> the electricity provider

I think the point is that there are other electricity providers in other areas, so monopoly rules don't apply.

Their electric service is their monopoly, sure, but if you don't want to use company A electricity you are not barred from buying a house somewhere else, with a different electric service.

This is different than, e.g. saying that there is a monopoly with the app store. If you don't want to use Apple for that, you have absolutely no access to iPhone software at all.
