I’m the same. It is very interesting how people have radically different experiences with light. I feel the best in winter with cloudy dark days. My wife is completely opposite and so are most people it seems, they feel good in sunlight. I’m afraid of it and the summer heat.
first couple of paragraphs

A public key infrastructure (PKI) is a system for binding a set of keys to a name. Sometimes a small amount of metadata is included.

Existing PKIs include PGP-style "web of trust", SSL certificates, ZeroTier, Keybase, OpenID, Mozilla Persona, and Login with Google. These take unique approaches to the problem and have achieved some degree of success, but none provide globally consistent, permanent, and completely self-owned identities. Exhaustive exploration and categorization is unfortunately out of scope for this post, so we'll just describe Urbit's approach to achieving these properties in our PKI.

In Urbit, a "name" is often called a "ship" or an "address" because we use the metadata in the PKI to make names routable. The total data is two 256-bit asymmetric keys, a cryptographic suite number (to allow changing crypto algorithms), the revision number of the key, and the name of a ship that will route for it. This sums to less than 128 bytes of data.

Each PKI trades off various properties. We chose a tripartite system so that appropriate choices can be made for different use cases. Here, we explore the various properties we chose by following a series of binary choices -- the idea maze.
I would consider that hilarious, well deserved mockery of an author overselling their argument. It certainly didn't read as a "rant", insane or otherwise.
Full brain electrical stimulation is an obviously barbaric primitive idea that certain medical community members very vocally defend and assert the merits of. Extremely targeted and sophisticated application of electrical currents might have a legitimate role outside of quack science in the distant future, but the technology isn't there yet.
There are some still out there (in Australia - YMMV). I just bought this on Wednesday: http://www.bauhn.com.au/product-listing/58-4k-ultra-hd-tv-AT...
Possibly due to the lights being driven from AC power making them pulse. You gotta find ones with big enough caps that they don't flicker, or buy some grow LEDs and a decent DC driver to emulate the sun.
You are discussing here how to isolate the TV into a separate firewalled network, but for an average consumer this is too difficult. What an average consumer wants is to watch Youtube and Netflix and not bother about settings. If I was a TV manufacturer I would install a video camera and microphone and record everything and people would still buy my TVs.
When can we get it in EV?
Unfortunately, this is one of the most effective methods of discouraging wanton scraping.

I’m not sure about the laws in Canada, but aren’t these convictions public domain? Presumably someone could just scrape that and build a free API?
I have an LED build-out that was inspired by the Lumenator (https://arbital.com/p/lumenators/). Since that post 1600 lumen A19 bulbs have gotten much cheaper and so I run 9 of those in a 3-fixture tree lamp with 4-way spliters.

I also experimented with commercial string lights and ended up hanging one strand with around a dozen bulbs over an ikea pyramid coat rack behind a Japanese style paper screen and that made for a bright and beautiful standing lamp.

I also found that having a timer/dimmer was a great way to wake up in the morning. Much better than any alarm, but if you don't sleep alone you need to get your partner on board.

I highly recommend trying a build for yourself!

> Even worse, in the US, collections companies typically have no proof the debt is real, which also conveniently means you dont actually need to pay. IIRC/IANAL

Also not a lawyer, but from what my financial planner tells me simply sending a debt validation letter asking for them to prove you owe what they say you owe shuts most of them up.

Student loans or tax avoidance though, they’re likely to have the records. Alas
I have been in a similar situation. First step in my opinion is to go on a holiday, at least 1 week long (ideally 2 weeks or slightly longer). And get away from a computer. Head somewhere where you can relax. Working on a side project is not a holiday, its still working. Get outdoors, exercise, use tips you can find online for beating depression like characteristics.

This is to give you some perspective and time to decompress from the day to day pressures at work & regular home life.

Your burnout is going to be clouding your view and judgement of the situation at work. The time off will help you look at the situation with some fresh eyes hopefully.

If the idea is worth millions, what sort of stock options do you have? How vested you are is a consideration. Also can you afford to exercise those options? Would you be financially better offer continuing to work and vesting options to exercise later (assuming you're in the USA under their style of share plans). If you don't have stock options (or something equivalent) well then jumping ship to another job is probably the best course of action (maybe).

What are your motivations for working in this job? Is there the potential of a large pay day if the company has successful liquidity event under favorable terms? Get to build X and have your name on it? Understanding those will help you work out what you want to do and why you want to do it.

You need to talk to your boss as well. Why is the feedback bad? What are actionable things you can do to improve the feedback? Are you not working well with others now that the team is growing?

Talking to the founders about some struggles you're having may help, but how good is your relationship with them? How understanding of the work you have done are they? If they're not across the detail of what you have delivered this may backfire depending on their personality types etc.
What I don't see is a discussion of how these airships would avoid the sort of weather-related accidents that destroyed the Shenandoah, the R101, the Akron, and the Macon. The Hindenburg disaster gets all the attention, but the bigger problem with the large rigid airships was their inability to avoid or weather storms. I'd love to see it --- I really would --- but I never see this point addressed.

therefore f does not exist, qed
It will be interesting to see how this handles signal and power integrity. What design rules is it actually following? If it’s just tossing down routes, AI is not needed for that. Shitty auto routers have existed for 25 years, at least.

Eliminating coal generation overnight would be...impractical, but if it drove up electrical costs, that would send market signals to bring more renewables, utility battery storage, and natural gas generation online.

NREL did some research about 5 years ago showing you could move ~75% of the US light vehicle fleet over to electric with no additional generation capacity, so the generation slack is there.
That's probably the best bit of the whole piece.
No this isn’t typical. Are you particulary good at coping with jetlag?
It was an application of Occam's razor. Dark energy arises automatically in the Standard Model. That is, you don't put it in by hand -- it emerges no matter what you do. In fact, we often get too much of it; this is the cosmological constant problem.
Agreed, the quoted passage is not a rant; it’s a cute joke.

Good. If I'm licensed to carry a handgun and one day get drunk and fire my gun at a crowd without hitting anyone, how long should I have to wait before being allowed to carry a gun in public again? Most people would say I should never be trusted with lethal force again.

I think it's fantastic to be addressing crime with instant prevention rather than deterrence. Many people don't have enough impulse control to follow the law regardless of how harsh the penalties are. What they need is some kind of full time supervisor like a breath interlock to stop them before they break the law.

Actually, the whole justice system is based on a faulty idea that all humans rationally evaluate the risk of getting caught. Some people will follow the law regardless, some will decide what crime to commit by evaluating the risk, and some will break the law regardless of the risk. That last category needs a different system.
I am glad to be alive. It was touch and go for a while but I think I am out of the woods.
> generally different silicon

1080Ti / P100:

Chip: GP102 / GP100

Cores: 3584 / 3584

Base clock: 1480 / 1328

Single precision TFlops: 10.6 / 10.6

TDP, Watts: 250 / 300

The only major difference of the chip is double precision performance, probably irrelevant for the OP's task. And I'm not convinced the difference is in the silicon as opposed to firmware or drivers, games don't need doubles so the NV could cripple the consumer model without consequences, just to differentiate the two products.
I’m thankful for my parents, though imperfect, have done their best to raise me and setup an environment where I can have a fulfilling and financially successful life as a software developer.

Thankful I have a history degree so I can stop stressing about the news and put the broader strokes in context.

Thankful I work in an industry, that despite thinking software can solve everything, still has a culture of tackling big problems.

Thankful for my healthy kids that keep me on my toes. Thankful for my wife who puts up with me and all my quirks.

Thankful for having met and learned from so many colleagues smarter than me in my field.

Thankful for clients of my consulting firm that have placed their sacred trust in me and my colleagues. I’m forever humbled by your choice to work with me.
A friend of mine had one in her car. It was a major pain, frequently drained the battery and/or had to be reset to function, which she had to call someone to do and hope she got a response.

While I have no sympathy for drunk drivers, this technological solution is sufficiently unreliable to be dubious.
It's not about first impression intuition. I'll bet you'll find relativistic quantum field theory less intuitive, at the popular level, than either string theory or dark energy -- but it has more empirical support than almost anything else in physics.

Three incandescent light bulbs that would have been standard 10 years ago would consume as much energy while putting out far less light. It's not a crazy amount of energy, standard LED lights just use so little energy that it's hardly worth measuring.
To be fair, this is much of math.

The ratio of right triangle legs is "easily solved" by tan(x). But that's magical/cheating to someone who hasn't studied trigonometry.

Lambert-W is a well known function with known approximation methods; once you reduce your problem to it (in this case, trivially), you can lean on that knowledge from others.
Nice list, I enjoyed it, and agreed on C#. I'm over my Python phase, I wouldn't use it for anything today for many reasons. Also agreed on Rust, the way I put it is that it's the "best programming language that I'll never use".

I haven't met a programming language that I hated, and find them all pretty similar. My ranking criteria is different as a result. Top metric is "keeping the lights on", then my second metric is what it enables me to (easily) do. My main technical requirement is that it has good tooling, well-supported (no breaking versions), and is fast, because software always gets extended and ends up longer lived than first intending.

I'm originally from a small city, and may one day return. C#/Java let me keep the lights on for decades going forward in any locale. I also don't have any complaints with those languages and their chosen abstraction layer, which I think Java nailed for most business applications in the 90s and the target hasn't been better hit since.

That CIA agent did it.
Had a coworker that found that out the hard way. Got a DUI and didn't tell anyone. Then one day a few months later had a work trip in Canada. They stopped him at customs in Canada and shipped him back. Company had to fly someone else out there on short notice.

Still better than the coworker that flew to Canada on business and then while on the trip his name got added to the "NO FLY" list. That was a fiasco.
At peak hours? I somehow doubt that without massive and expensive amounts of new battery infrastructure we wouldn't see blackouts in major cities.

Can anyone shed light on this?
GPS provides high quality RTC signals. So the TV could update its time with high accuracy via GPS and countdown a timer.

Yes it does! A giant spike in the blue region is literally what makes the sky blue in the first place. If there weren't such a spike the sky would be white. When you look up at the sky on a typical clear day, you're getting more blue light than almost any one of these indoor setups.
"radial mixing techniques work better than vertical mixing, and that a device with a highly curved spiral arm or two spiral arms that mimic kneading by hand could make dough that is well-aerated, absorbs water well and is elastic"

I thought most if not all mixers for bread dough were radial and used a spiral arm already? That's what all the home mixers I've seen look like.

And the tone of the article is like nobody's ever investigated this before - don't people who make mixers and use them have some literature/expertise on this?
The Netherlands is switching to opt-out, it is a thing of huge controversy here.

I’m in favor of there being more and better resources to learn anything out there, but every time I see a deep learning 101 type material all I can think is “who is this for?”.

In ~July 2016 I was at a presentation by NVidia at GW in DC. They showed off how easy it was to build out and train a model using some of their tooling (Digits maybe?). After the demo they opened it up for questions and a grad student ‘asked’ “You just did in 10 mins with 30 lines of code what I worked on for an entire semester”.

That’s been the trajectory of the tools and increasing abstraction in this space. It’s just getting easier and easier to build models that work (which is great), and it gets easier and easier to do so without knowing more than an extremely high level overview of the math behind it all.

So while this looks like a great resource - who’s it for?

For jobs/problems that need you to have a thorough understanding of the math and theory behind the networks this isn’t going to cut it.

For jobs/problems that need you to get something working math or not - this likely isn’t necessary to get started.

So it’s for people that have been getting into DL but also haven’t bothered or needed to look up the math concepts?
This isn't much different from lending your car to someone without asking if they have a driver's license, period? I mean it's slightly different (I'm not sure if the car is automatically impounded for driving without a license) but I think they're making a big deal out of a fairly minor detail. If your friend borrows your car knowing full well that if they're pulled over it's going to be evaluated... maybe in general a good sign it's time to reevaluate that friendship?
Hackers are already ripped apart Teslas and building things from the parts. It's VERY common to use the battery packs (thus their high resale value). Motors are popular as well. Sure there's some crypto/DRM for things like the car's identity (and if it has free supercharging for life). But generally a large part of a Tesla would be usable even 100 years from now, even if Tesla (the company) is dead.

Not just tvs. All appliances are getting "smart". Refrigerators, washers, etc are or will track you too. You'll have the convenience of connecting to your fridge to see what you need to buy at the supermarket. Eventually, the fridge will just send you notifications of things you need to buy. Very convenient, but the fridge manufacturer will also know what you eat, when you shop, where you shop and everything you do in your kitchen. I suspect sooner or later, there will be period of consolidation amongst the appliance companies so that they will be able to see everything you do in your house.

Abstraction and Refinement. Recursion is a stretch goal but if you're going to the maths, you need to do this.

Formalisms in logic matter a lot. Early grounding helps. "or" has colloquial meaning but specific intent in an expression. So things like operator-order-precedence become important, which stem from maths/arithmetic understanding of intent in an expression.

If people learned the distinction between functional and imperative, early, its possible we could all be uplifted to the FP future we need to be in. I'm a victim of coming into this late, with inability to grok onto some key concepts.

I find most competent ICT people touch type, with some near accuracy. Its not that hunt-and-peck won't work, but if you can acquire the muscle memory to write your mind without having to look at your fingers, things get better.

ICT is like music. Learning to play the violin is tedious and painful. But the outcome is worth it.

Once you are infected by the meme of recursion, life takes on a new meaning. No Pooh, thats not honey, thats...
Rather than suggest topics, I wanted to push project based learning as a way to teach the curriculum. Most work in the "real world" tends to be closer to projects than problem sets. Almost everything of value i got from high school was associated with getting engrossed in class projects. You dont have to define things to be hyper focused, for example i got a ton of experience with CAD modeling from an english project. This pedagogy pairs very well with teaching engineerin.
This is so nice to hear & thanks for sharing it with us. Believe it or not, just today I was watching "Transplanting Hope" in Amazon Prime (NOVA). Was able to connect immediately!

People can run legacy open-source code, too. I fail to see how open-sourcing IE would have solved the old versions. For a better example, look at python 2.7. Open-source legacy code every one's stuck with, drawn-out deprecation dates, etc. Old Java versions are the same thing.

Overnight charging.

EVs are a great fit for when demand is low at night (and you’ve got to run the generator regardless), or when there’s excessive production from renewables and you don’t want to curtail and waste that power.
Kind of depends if you want something with integrated LED, something where you can screw in your own bulb, controls for dimming, what type of bulb, etc.

Maybe they could require you to add (and verify) a credit card and then not charge it for fewer than 30 queries a month.

Of course, it's a solution that brings other problems, but it's one way of using payment systems to provide the service and keep it free for everyone but the scrapers.

It's effectively impossible to run a large surface ship at much over 40kts no matter how much power you have. The drag on a displacement hull is too high, and planing hulls and hydrofoils don't really work for anything large.
