>No. That's what the definition of infinite is.. There are no bounds.

just a thought: it sounds like you are more describing the concept of an uncountable infinity in a mathematical sense, a set that is infinite and with no discernible end, as opposed to a countable one, where the set is certainly infinite but it can be iterated through and conceptually has some point where it transitions into a higher meta-set that encompasses it and far more. at least, that's the metaphor i use to interpret the concept of an infinity that is bounded; conceptually, everything that exists must be contained within something if you ask me. it could even be contained within a conceptual nothing, but that nothing itself acts as a boundary point for the infinite.

also: i am definitely not a cosmologist or a scientist in any rigorous sense, im just a person that likes to think a lot. my arguments or thoughts likely wouldn't hold their weight compared to one substantiated with support and such, so I just want to make it known that I don't exactly treat my views internally as the canonical explanation, just the one that makes the most sense to me given my limited scope of understanding. thanks for your time :)
I was trying to figure out why the laptop in the header image looks so huge, and I think I did. The UI scaling is really really small for a normal ~15 inch laptop. If that laptop is supposed to be about 13 inches, the dock should probably be 50-100% bigger. A small issue, but it bugged me.
They could be covering the material with private tutors or similar outside the classroom experience. That's why we can't say for certain the test is measuring skill.
I am sitting here without a citation of any kind.

edit: In retrospect this comes off as unnecessarily snarky. Let me clarify:

- I am just asking for a specific citation about this issue.

- Reproducibility is one case where details about microarchitectures matter, but it is not actually the default behavior of MKL, and the documentation makes it clear that its limitations are largely unrelated to the normal operation of MKL; for example: https://software.intel.com/en-us/mkl-windows-developer-guide...

> Dispatching optimized code paths based on the capabilities of the processor on which the code is running is central to the optimization approach used by Intel MKL. So it is natural that consistent results require some performance trade-offs. If limited to a particular code path, performance of Intel MKL can in some circumstances degrade by more than a half. To understand this, note that matrix-multiply performance nearly doubled with the introduction of new processors supporting Intel AVX2 instructions. Even if the code branch is not restricted, performance can degrade by 10-20% because the new functionality restricts algorithms to maintain the order of operations.

This bit here is pretty important because it suggests that strict CNR mode can disable AVX2 codepaths even on Intel. It isn't doing so on AMD specifically for reproducibility; it just won't load AVX2 codepaths on non-Intel processors, period.
One side will probably prioritize booting interesting people like felons though, so they still won't actually serve on the jury of criminal trials as often.
The reduction in fuel consumption apparently also suprised the FAA.

In its 2002 RITA projection, the forecast total commercial aviation consumption for 2012 (that's nearly 8 years ago now) was ~33 billion gallons. As of 2016, it was still only aroun 17 billion, or nearly 50% below the forecast for four years prior.

Whether this is a testiment to efficiency or a harbinger of peak oil, I'm not entirely certain. Though as an example of the shifts in resource utilisation following prices, it's instructive.

The efficiency improvements, it should be noted, are in both per revenue passenger mile and per capacity passenger mile. Those result both from an increased number of seats per aircraft (that's where your legroom's gone), and in the number of paying butts in those seats, largely courtesy improved predictive sales / incentives methodologies. And improvements in aircraft efficiencies. Such as by high-bypass turbofan engines, which require ever higher, and forward-positioned, mounting systems. Which then affect aircraft handling and stability....

There are probably limits to both approaches.
When you're starting out, it can be easy to think that you'll just undercut your competition - if not for the experience gained.

No, here's the truth: When you undervalue your work, you'll attract the types of clients you don't want to work with. Scammers, misers and bargain hunters, etc.

You're also signaling that you're inexperienced - even though you may have a legit reason for charging less. I know consultants that work from home, and live in extremely cheap areas, or simply don't have many expenses, compared to consultants living in high COL areas.

So yeah, charge more. It's a good filter that you don't need to actively work on.

Sometimes when I’m bored and out walking, I play this game with cars. I pretend I’m allowed to keep any one of the next ten cars that go past, but I need to accept or reject it the moment I see it.

If the second car is a Volvo do I pick it, or hold out waiting for a Mercedes? If I pick that Mercedes, am I going to regret it in thirty seconds when a Rolls rolls past? Am I going to get stuck with an old Hyundai due to my inability to settle?
Yes that one. And from Richard Rhodes books about the bomb, from Fuchs lived experience, what he did made perfect sense: he was a life long communist, and was hugely concerned by the lack of information sharing while the Russians bore the brunt of the human cost of the war. He had direct experience of the prewar nazi regime. Post gaol, Fuchs led the East German nuclear power research programme. He got on with his life.

There is a market across much of Europe, a proper, functioning mature but rent-seeking market - as is to be expected from a utility.

I can get my electricity from any of the companies in the UK, same for gas, without any restriction. I can choose on price or service, regardless of where I live. Yet service standards have declined, prices have risen far in excess of inflation, and buffer overhead of generation, production and storage has declined. The national grid is more fragile than it was as a result. That's despite efforts of the grid to modernise, and provide a smart grid for renewables. It's required additional regulation to bring back a little headroom on the grid, and inadequate regulation to prevent extreme profit-seeking. The projected plans for additional pumped storage and hydro and tidal schemes have been shelved. For decades. Electric has indulged in the same banking roulette with currency plays seeking profit in preference to producing electricity.

So what part of the market is missing? None. What advantages has the market brought? For execs and shareholders, free money! For customers and the climate? More costs, poorer service.

The biggest winners? The US corporations and hedge funds who fell like vultures on the privatised companies. Oh, and the French state - their power is still significantly state owned, I think 51%. They've been able to save their tax payers money by joining in the profiteering from UK generation - one of the big 6 UK suppliers is EDF: Électricité de France.
Right, you can hit a higher velocity. You will not get extra acceleration. That is my entire point.

That is to say, the force from the air does not actively slow you down. It prevents you from speeding up, after a point. (Aerodynamics are, of course, more complicated. But this general model is pretty solid.)

Such that if I want to accelerate faster down the hill, I have to pedal to cause that to happen. Or add a motor.
Actually the problem is that doctors won't prescribe racemic ketamine - unless it's taken intravenously and consequently require medical supervision - which comes with medical malpractice insurance.

I would hazard that this is the main reason why most doctors are comfortable prescribing IV ketamine rather than intranasal or subcutaneous (both of which are currently prescribed self administration methods for depression). Otherwise the risk is all on them.

My intranasal (ie - same as esketamine) ketamine prescription is $70 every six weeks.
If you are going to posit such questions then you should be able to answer their question with your opinion/thoughts. It's your responsibility as the person asking the question in 99% of the situations that it would come up. If you have a good firm grounding for meritocracy, fascism, technocracy, etc then you should have a sound argument to present it. At that point you can look down upon them for defaulting to democracy.

Different kinds of luck, and a different kind of game.

Stanford is small, arbitrary luck in a single play game, where failure usually is not something you can learn from, because you will never apply to Stanford again.

One's startup journey is best thought of as an iterated game, where luck mostly around timing, and you can learn from failure and practice your timing.

In targeting an elite college you are in a lottery with 100s of others for each seat. Of those hundreds a few might actually not be "qualified" but generally there is nothing substantial to distinguish 99% of those who don't get in.

Being chosen or not is a particular kind of small luck- the sort of arbitrary circumstantial occurrance that is not under your control and is not something you can learn from. Not "getting in" is not failure, unless you think not meeting the demands of your ego is failure (it isn't).

In starting a business, the range of moves and outcomes, the game board, is SO MUCH LARGER and SO MUCH MORE REAL than anything involved in getting into even an elite college. Here you have other people's money and their livelihoods at stake, not just your own ego. Here success and failure are much more tangible and much more distinguishes between them. Execution is much, much more complicated.

Even among startups who execute well, most still fail because of timing. The ones that succeed also do so largely because of timing. This "luck" around timing is something you can learn.

Said another way- my daughters are used to scoring high 90%s in their academics. Every day I tell them the real world is where the people doing the best are scoring around 5-10%, and of those who do it best the ones who succeed get their 1 right out of 10/20 at just the right time.

I've never understood the argument that someone can use a feature to add complexity

The problem with C++ is the various features can interplay poorly, leading to the "subset" language issue. Presumably, golang can avoid many of the issues caused by organic growth by looking back on such attempts.

And a couple weeks doesn't tell you much; generics are a large-scale feature. They produce their benefit with larger codebases with more opportunities to reuse. Like the stupidity of cli namespace pollution with parse_int and parse_int32 and parse_int64 and parse_string and so on doesn't matter when you have two arguments; it matters when you have a whole variety of them, and you also want to toss in a parse_int128 which didn't come with the library.

Map and filter and so on doesn't matter much when you have 2 boilerplate forloops; the value hits you after you've written that boilerplate 30 times.

"Charge more" is rhetoric[0]. If you look closely at those posts where patio11 advocates charging more, his reasoning for doing so is that most highly skilled developers undercharge for their services. His advice simply doesn't apply outside of that context.

Om Malik – A Frame of Mind (recovery after loss of a startup)
> No one is arguing that he can't do what he is doing. The discussion is whether or not he _should_.

Which is an inherently subjective argument, which is my point, as opposed to your saying that Kushner and Ivanka Trump are prima facie unqualified for their roles. Since you now know you can't prove this, you've shifted the goalposts.

>You can't argue that's it's a good idea, or that his decisions have produced any results

No, the onus is on you to prove that Kushner and Ivanka are inherently less qualified for what they are doing than, say, the examples I provided in my previous comment. Since being Robert Kennedy's college roommate and football teammate automatically means advising on national security matters in the Oval Office during the Cuban Missile Crisis, amirite?

I am not saying that O'Donnell was inherently unqualified for his role. On the contrary, for a position like his (identical to Kushner's and Ivanka's, by the way; just the title is different), being trusted by the person you advise is as important a criteria for such a role as any other. JFK trusted O'Donnell to work hard to give him good advice. Period. End of story.

Maybe Kushner will spend eight years over two Trump terms as Trump's Middle East envoy and no progress will be made in terms of Jewish-Arab peace. Such results would be ... about on par with all of his predecessors from seven different administrations over 40 years.

>"Inept" is, I believe, the word you were searching for.

Wrong again. "Inapt" is correct; your comparison of a position with formal, defined qualifications for versus positions without such is, as I said, an inapt one.

I'm currently a product/engineer person on a team that has a fulltime product person. The split works well and I don't think it requires me to be a superstar in any way.

I sit in on a lot of meetings, talk to users, etc. and I program enough to know the ins and outs of our codebase. This means when wireframes are being put together I can say "well, that one will take 3 months longer" before anyone can get invested, clarify ambiguity I know the programmers will struggle with, and better translate user requirements to technical ones.

At a high level I'd say I'm sort of a liaison between two very different groups of people with very different realms of expertise. There's a lot of "translation" that necessary for that but anyone who's middling in both fields should be able to perform in the role.

Gimme Shelter – The Cost of Living in the Bay Area
No, that just gives rise to corrupt capitalism. Like expecting law and order without police and courts.

Without regulation and strong intervention against problematic companies cartels, profiteering, monopoly and all the other problems of unconstrained capitalism tend to result. Standards will fall, prices will rise, deals will be done on golf courses and in (formerly) smoke filled bars against the interests of the customers.

The best markets are ones that have a clear market, and are kept free and ethical by strong and appropriate oversight (government). Needless to say there are many markets that are not appropriate uses of the market, and oversight does not work too well with a revolving door between commerce and regulator, smoothed by filthy lucre.

I would not be shocked to hear that video encoding is actually the biggest cost of running Youtube, much more than the hosting cost itself, at least when you factor in their close connection to Google's networking infrastructure that probably brings bandwidth cost way down.
> Do you just estimate based on what you expect to earn?

I echo the advice to get a good accountant, but "estimating" is what I've been doing for the past 5 years. I had an unexpectedly good year a few years ago and wound up underpaying on my quarterly taxes. The IRS and the State of NY both charged me a small fine and I just sucked it up and paid it. It's quite a racket they've got going on considering income tax was supposed to be a temporary measure to get us through WWI.

Isn't a failure to judge something correctly the reason they went to prison in the first place? Are you saying they're so well reformed that their judgement now exceeds that of normal people? In that case, there must be other jobs their superior ability to weigh things can be useful.
The conversation cant happen. People can be unwilling to entertain a conversation because of an axom in their beliefs, that they cant let go of, even hypothetically.

>If you have a good firm grounding for meritocracy, fascism, technocracy, etc then you should have a sound argument to present it.

This is almost the same thing. Youre saying "if its not democracy it must be one of these other ones that has already been thought up and that the case must be made for another to make the case against valid" as if a new new, different form of rule, ever unthought up before cant exist.

Im not even making an argument against democracy, I am saying one day I realized that through all my schooling I never actually questioned the tenant that it might not be the default right answer. It was a scary and intriguing experience to suddenly realize "I just assumed this was the best answer because I was told it was and the argument sounded good at the time and I based my opinion of everything else on that assumption, I never really questioned that belief, maybe I shouldnt do that. Maybe there were ulterior motives for teaching me it was the default correct answer (Democracy sustaining itself?) If education was able to get me to belief this thing without questioning it, what other biases did I absorb that I am unaware of and should also be questioning?"

Democracy very well might be the best right answer, but its better for me to be able to question that belief, its origin, its purpose, and its validity, than for me not to be able to question at all. For me its better to not have faith that it is correct, but instead judge it from a leveled objective playing field. It's better for my critical thinking skills to not take "the worst form of Government except for all those others" as the gospel of a dogma.
I'm more concerned with having a word like "felon" to categorise _people_ into "small criminals" and "big criminals", rather than saying what it is they were actually convicted of.

Other common law jurisdictions get by just fine by categorising small crimes as "summary" and larger ones as "indictable" for the purposes of criminal procedure (not that this categorisation maps all that well in the US where the right to jury trials is more entrenched). There isn't a comparable term to "felon", which is fine, because it's much better to talk about a "convicted murderer" or "convicted drug trafficker" or "convicted drink driver". And laws imposing restrictions on ex-prisoners generally apply to specific crimes, or to crimes carrying particular sentences with the threshold varying depending on the type of restriction.

At that point, there just isn't much need for the word "felony".
For the record, there it is well documented that corporate wings of the Democratic party control dozens of accounts under a single owner. There are likely many more operators that we haven't uncovered yet, with more puppet accounts tied to each.

Russians are allowed on reddit, as far as I know. Auto-blogging is common-place. Blogs that hvae opinions and even organized up-voting is common. There are differences in ideology from us, maknig things seem like a "campaign".

This is just xenophobic targeting of one nation to create consent for some kind of action against "Russian" accounts/citizens and those mis-targeted as Russian (see Twitters method of Russian detection).

I post this to try reduce the fear of Russia and the anti-Russian scapegoatism in general.
Systems programming concerns the code between hardware and the application programmer. So pretty much kernel programming.

Application programming concerns the code between kernel and the ordinary user.

Essentially, systems programmers write software that application programmers can interface with. Application programmers write software that ordinary users interface with.

It gets fuzzy at the edges like most definitions, but that's how I think about it generally.
