>angering my parents by getting bad grades

At secondary school level, it's no longer an issue. Parents just change schools. A few months ago, an uber unserious secondary girl altered her end of term results. The father brought the slip to school to complain about the unprofessional look of the slip due to multiple alterations.

Found out what his daughter did and change schools.
My favorite paper for introducing the idea is this oldie but goodie: http://lsa.colorado.edu/papers/dp1.LSAintro.pdf

The math behind Word2Vec and GloVe is different. Most word embedding models have been shown to be equivalent to some version of matrix factorization, though, and, at least if you're comfortable with linear algebra, the SVD formulation makes it relatively easy to get an intuitive grasp on what the dimensions in an embedding really "mean".
"how to raise money ... read as the test. It came at the end of YC. It had numbers attached to it, and higher numbers seemed to be better. It must be the test."

This is a great sharing of internal mental processes. The same process evolves around investment reports. "Oh look! I got a good grade!"
That's such a dark pattern. I remember having my Keep notes uploaded to Google servers because they turned the sync back on after an update.
Or not require {} everywhere even for single statements, a la F#:

try foo() with | ex1 -> failWith "doh!"

and allowing these to be expressions rather than just statements. Exceptions become much easier to deal with this way:

let result = try compute() with ex1 -> failwith "doh!" | ex2 -> -1
When I graduated it was said that if your were good enough to get a decent degree then you were wasting yourself in IT.

It was true then and it remains true to-day.
"Antioxidants are good."

Ingested antioxidants have no pathway to the cell interior where they might act to "counter oxidation".

Further, if there were it would probably be quite negative as the oxidation and free radical production, etc., is very likely an essential cell signaling mechanism - namely, a signal that it is time for that cell to undergo apoptosis.

Which is to say, those cells are poorly performing and need to be culled. They should commit cellular "suicide". If you found a way to keep them alive it would be to your freat detriment.

I encourage everyone to read _Power, Sex, Suicide_ by Nick Lane:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power,_Sex,_Suicide

... which is a very enjoyable and enlightening look at these mechanisms. His book _Oxygen_ is also quite good.
We can't taste pretty good either. We're all muscle and bones. Not enough fat, especially on the kind of people who might be in their feeding zones (say, surfers).
This title is misleading. It let an outside attacker do this – past tense – due to a token leak; this isn't an ongoing thing, and the token was revoked so even that attacker can't do anything now.
Fair enough. I find it rather patronizing but I also kind of get your point. H1's gamification requires them to educate their users to some degree, sure. Although I find that far more problematic than some common practice. I'd prefer policy that reflects reality. "If you see usernames or reports, stop and report it" might help with the part of the user base that bought into the gamification but I'm really not sure how that helps responsible disclosure in general.

If you're not a paid external security researcherm, of course you click on at least one report to confirm that the vulnerability is actually working and has meaningful impact. Plus, they're still working with curious humans here, not OWASP top 10 scanners.

That's just like all those bug bounty programs including some phrase disallowing automated tools. Even for active participants of the platform that's completely unrealistic and introduces unnecessary uncertainty.

Hi, I am one of the authors of this post.

The number 4 billion is made-up. It was chosen in order to illustrate the scale of the problem we are trying to solve. And it also happens to be just below the maximum number possible to store in an unsigned 4 byte integer. This is of course beneficial when trying to build an index with a small footprint. With more queries, we would have to consider using long integers (8 bytes) or some custom type with e.g. 5 bytes.

If you're interested in where the queries come from, you might find these previous posts interesting:

I had dinner with Ginsparg once and he's a wonderful guy. I'm glad the arxiv was created when it was, in an earlier less scammy era of the internet. Otherwise the nowadays equivalent might be owned by Elsevier or some random tech company.
// Their innovations are more around key details and hardware/software integration that makes the whole system work like magic.

That philosophy was Steve Jobs' key insight back than. Today many companies excel at magical ux design.

And sure, their control over iOS and their rich clients allow them to do stuff others cannot. And definetly, it's incremental innovation.

But that's very little innovation, considering their size or compared to their competitors - Google AI and moonshots, Amazon(where do i even begin), or Microsoft(Cloud and their research efforts).
As far as imprecise journalism (let alone blatant inaccuracy goes) this is pretty inoffensive IMHO.
It’s not even that far off. Algorithms can be composed. When we publish a paper on a complete ML application, the whole thing is generally referred to as “the algorithm” because it can be documented as precise set of steps from initial raw inputs to some kind of output. Just because there are literally thousands of applications of sorting and searching, matrix multiplies and what have you buried under the process doesn’t make it unclear what is being referred to.
It's not an assumption, it's the observed model. Feel free to propose and test other models.
Saying that there's something bad in 'rents' is a hypocrisy. Every income which is not a job, is rent. Profit from every business, economically, can be split into rent and (real and/or virtual) salary of the owner (with small business usually being wholly or mostly "salary"). You can tell there is some non-"salary" component when you can sell your business for the price higher than liquidation price of it's physical+financial assets. That price is a capitalized cost of the rent. There's nothing morally wrong with it.
I don'think that dispute what I have just said.

Software Engineering isn't just about put stuff out there, it also involves careful planning and roadmap around abstractions.

As high profile as a project as TF, if they don't have a clear way to tell having many parallel implementations for essentially the same functionality is confusing and hurt developer experience and ultimately harms the project itself, then that only explains the disaster , as a result of mismanagement, but doesn't undo the damage.
This seems to be good advice. Thanks

There’s a relationship between how liquid a market is and how easily it can be automated. There are very few humans on treasury desks, but M&A is still highly relationship driven. No algorithm is going to convince a CEO to sell their company or buy another.
My son is 8, and yesterday he came home from school and said, "I'm not above grade level in math." He sounded a little disappointed, but not too much; he also seemed to be asking if that really means anything.

We had a really interesting conversation. I've been a middle and high school math teacher most of my life, so this is quite familiar ground for me. Over dinner I asked him how he would go about measuring whether a kid is "above grade level". He got really animated and started to tell me what he thought second graders should know and be able to do, and how third graders should expand on that, and what he thought he'd start to learn in fourth and fifth grade.

I told him I could start to teach him some of the operations and skills he'll learn in the coming years, but that it probably wouldn't mean a whole lot. Instead I asked him what ideas he's already familiar with that other kids his age don't know about, because we talk about math almost every day. "I know what phi is, and pi!" Yes, and we've also talked about limits, calculus, negative numbers, fractions, decimals, and he's looked at pages of math that's well beyond my understanding as well.

I told him that when he gets to middle and high school classes, he's going to see higher level math and it's going to sound familiar because we've already been talking about the ideas for years. He's going to watch other kids fail and drop out of those classes because the ideas and the skills will be too new and too difficult for them to take in. I said we're probably much better off just continuing to talk about fun and interesting areas of math for the time being instead of worrying about "grade level".

Get some forum software (IPB is good https://invisioncommunity.com/solutions/fan-communities/ ) then get your clients on there, advertise get more people etc.

Another good way to get clients is to throw up some script on a place like codecanyon, and people will come to you for custom work/customisations, steer them towards your forum too.
I disagree with the premise that Software Security is a language issue.

There are a lot of basics in this post.

However, this is really only a small fraction of the issue in application security.

Just thinking back to some recent major breaches recently in the headlines, we have

* failure to update (Equifax)
* unencrypted backup files (Adobe breach of long ago)
* A long-ago root-level compromise of 90 servers of a giant bank.
* The Target breach: vendor access to network
* Numerous breaches related to improper setup of AWS

Also, two interesting SSL/TLS vulnerabilities had nothing to do with anything a language design can address. The GOTOFAIL and HeartBleed. In fact, someone illustrated how to make the same error in Rust (and promptly got downvoted).

A good view of front-line security problems is addressed in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4vSurKPl6I (Attack Oriented Defense.)

I have audited applications in many languages, from C, Clojure, .NET, Java, Perl, and Ruby. Vulnerabilities found did not relate to langsec at all.
Don’t take it personally, I was talking about all the other responses too. Weren’t you accusing the west coast of being overly sensitive?

Your analysis is correct, your machine has to trust the Tailscale auth server. I think that this is compatible with the technical definition and spirit of Zero Trust. To elaborate:

In the typical web-only BeyondCorp scenario, a network is Zero Trust because every connection is done over TLS and clients are validated by client-side certificates. These client-side certificates are not hand-typed by administrators into computers, instead they are trusted because they are signed by a CA root. "Zero trust" means zero trust in the network wires, all identity is confirmed with some sort of cryptographic certificate.

In the Tailscale model, a node trusts the Tailscale auth server because it presents a trusted certificate, and so is trusted to distribute endpoint public keys. A compromised Tailscale auth server compromises the network, in much the way a compromised CA root compromises an mTLS network.

For larger customers we are planning a self-hosted version of our auth server (so we are out of the trust loop), and want to publish the protocol we use for communicating with it for general inspection.

(Tailscale cofounder.)

Same in my case, and the problem is very clear: the kind of clients i am serving. Most of them are random walk-in people who don't really belong to the industry, so they don't really have anyone to share my contact with. For all the 11 years trying, i had only a few attempts with the clients who were actually in the game, and it always failed in one way or the other :(

Thank you. Good examples. Yes, some substances cause more inflammation than others. The tar in cigarette smoke more so than vaping vapour. Vegetable oil more than lard or beef dripping. Yes, it gets worse with age.

However, people don't prefer substances that cause more inflammation because they cause more inflammation, rather people prefer things that they find more pleasurable. This might include not having to switch restaurants and consuming things that are cheaper.

This is not inconsistent with the idea that chronic pleasure-seeking without respite causes chronic inflammation, e.g. if we indulge gluttonous impulses by eating sufficient amounts of chips fried in lard with mountains of blueberries for pudding then we're going to acquire the same problem.

>Self-stimulating activities and inflammation are orthogonal. Mechanical problems don't always cause accidents and accidents aren't always the result of mechanical problems.

I guess I'm claiming that they aren't. That car accidents aren't usually caused by mechanical faults was my point.

>smoking pot is anti-inflammatory

On the face of it this does look like a good counter-example. I might have to do some reading! It could be that cannabis relieves mental stress by a different route and this outweighs the effects of the 'high' (is there a high?)

>PS: are you a bear or ilk?

No, I'm not a joiner but I'm sympathetic to those guys. Discovered!

Let me add that I don't think that the inflammation problem is unsolvable. I'm a firm believer that everything good can ultimately be felt to be good, to the point where no discipline is required to purse it.
Hi, author here. Sometimes it's just like that. I loved my coworkers. I am (was?) bullish on the company. I thought they were doing a lot of great things. But there was plenty to improve at.

It was a confusing experience for myself and ultimately I quit of my own accord and found a job I was happier at.
2014, I lost everything I had invested in my startup (founded in 2011) and decided to go for a sabbatical year (without a penny and no work). After some time, I liked the lifestyle and started to look for some small gigs with software development until I found a full remote full-time job.
A lot of companies seem fine with churn, as long as they can acquire new customers faster, or if they form an oligopoly (banks and telcos come to mind).

In general yes, the product has to meet some minimum bar of decency. How high? Depends on a lot of factors. Note the popularity of business models involving some kind of lock-in - e.g. network effect, holding data hostage. Those are all attempts at hacking around the need for a decent product.
I don't know but they taste like potatoes with some kind of added coating.
Telling someone that you personally read something as very negatively, and projecting that on the rest of the world can read very douchey.

Maybe when you spend 17 years on a prototype to get it to market, and some other semi-retired individual starts their journey down the same path, you'll be able to keep your little trap shut and not try to help them. Oh wait, you couldn't. But, congrats on your tiny 4 button 2-bit memory loop knockoff from early 70's tech.

There’s a huge difference between click bait and this. Click bait makes a crazy claim anyone would want to click on, “click here to learn the secret of immortality”, and delivers something mundane with little connection like “antioxidants are good.” This is choosing a compelling title for a topic or concept that otherwise might be a little boring or otherwise get viewer clicks - aka, marketing.

> I would think most of the startups have products as instrumental goals; the exit is the terminal goal.

Depressing, if true.

I would hope that most people have a product that they want to build, and more money is an instrumental goal that lets them build it better. For example, I'd expect someone who loves to code to have software they want to write, and want enough money to allow them to do so—as opposed the executive who loves money and views writing software as the best way to get it. I'm not convinced that any great work was ever crafted by someone who was primarily crafting for instrumental reasons.

But you're probably right, and that's probably a big part of what's so toxic about startup culture these days.

The article talks about use of lead-based ammunition for wildlife hunting. I see no problem with it. Sure, solid copper rifle bullets are expensive, but you only need one of them per hunting season. Ok, a box to zero the rifle.

As long as lead remains legal to use at the shooting range (where the vast majority of rounds is spent, and most lead is subsequently recovered and reprocessed), it's not a big deal.

Wealth is a side effect of age. Most millionaires and billionaires are seniors. Despite being in the top percentile in terms of capital, most millionaires they don’t feel financially secure, regardless of their age. I think that insecurity is understandable.
I find the simple idea appealing that I don't have to spend too much energy on who to reward or not reward. I reward anything that I find valuable enough to spend my finite attention on. If companies started to receive sufficient profits from this stream they would feel less incentive to implement the other (often dirtier along multiple axes) monetization strategies. But I would be very curious to hear other people's "policies" on how they tune these allocations.

I believe he is wrong. Sure, it's possible that Cameron is the only person who can make a good 3D movie. But the explanation that's more consistent with the history of 3D is that he was the person to get in early and ride the novelty wave. Once the novelty wore off, people stopped bothering.

It's true that home viewing is winning because it's more convenient. But my point is that it's obviously worse in terms of viewer experience and the technical qualities that VR proponents believe will finally lead to VR success.
Not the author but I've experienced this. Basically what ends up happening if you don't specialize is you hit the 80/20 principle. 20% of your clients take 80% of your time. It becomes hard to scale and you end up not doing anything well. Focusing on one thing you can really focus on improvements to how you deliver that one service which reduces stress and helps you scale your service.
Oh god, those last three comments are so cringey. They both want to merge their projects together, but can't agree on which namespace to use? Somebody needs to go Solomon on these kids and announce that a complete rewrite from scratch will take place unless they can agree on a namespace, then hand over control of the merge to whichever team cedes the point first.

It is as long as the FDA can operate flexibly enough to not spend extra time where they shouldn’t. If they can’t, as seems to have been the case historically, then it’s best overall from a mortality and longevity perspective if they err on the side of faster releases. Note that faster operation also means they can more quickly act on feedback from the market and medical practitioners post release.
