BigTech is insanely big right now. Basically advertising and cloud are humongous cash cows. It’s a good time to work for BigTech and build some safety net.

But then again it’s only Google and FB that pay above the line. Microsoft and Amazon salaries, last I checked were pretty subpar.

Much of the point of space programs is to prove we can drop bombs back on earth with precision. I don't know how fusion reactors are a threat in that fashion.
Of course I'm not a good judge, I have been programming Python since 1.4 and my colleagues also all have Python experience.

But at least I like the idea that it gives an error message when confronted with ambiguity. That way it doesn't do something you didn't expect silently. Sadly it only gives it at runtime, not at compile time.
Geriatrics compete with their offspring for resources. This is why most species don't have geriatrics. Humans have some special social structures that make geriatrics useful to breeding offspring.
Really, it's more a tutorial on rendering algorithms than it is about WebGL per se. There are lots of tutorials out there where you can look up the minutiae of how to set up a canvas, clear the framebuffer and set up a rendering loop. This is about how to draw stuff using fragment shaders in a non-trivial (but still pleasingly simple!) way.

There is comparatively little content for that -- most of it gets sucked down into the mathematics of bump mapping or discussions about stencil buffer precision. I rather liked it.
Synapse is my go-to choice.

I can't overstate what a gamechanger state based development using XState + React with hooks has been for me versus a standard Redux/Flow architecture with class based components. It allows you to extract business logic from your components to the point that React becomes nothing more than a view rendering layer. This makes it way easier to understand the flow of your application and simply read through the statechart and look at the corresponding components for each state. No more parsing through giant component class files, dealing with lifecycles, or mixing logic with presentation. It allows you to build a fully deterministic UI where bugs become almost impossible to happen.
That's really only the case if you don't ever want anything from other people/nations. If you're going to be negotiating anything ever again, it might be useful to have chips like this to play.
I'd love to actively prevent people from moving to these places because it'll continue offshoring domestic wealth into tax havens.

Honestly, this is the huge problem of our time - globalization has happened and the concepts of tax laws and taxation of value production haven't properly adapted. The US should be taxing all the value legitimately made in the US - if a designer in the US makes something that is then mass produced in China the value taxes currently only comprehend the physical good value, not the intellectual value of the good - for things like fashionable clothing nearly all of the value is created domestically and the actual material value is inconsequential.

Over time the ability to dodge taxes in this manner has placed unfair downward pressure on countries to lower taxes in an effort to attract the revenue that can be freely moved around and hence we've got spiraling wealth inequality due to insufficient taxation.

People opting out of taxation while reaping the benefit of educated populations (or their personal education) along with security and the laundry list of the benefits of society is simply ethically unacceptable.
Not to the best of my knowledge.

If an article manages to get a few votes, quickly, then it gets on the front page fairly easily. (This one got there with 5 votes.) Once on the front page it snowballs. The obvious solution to that is to ask a handful of friends to vote for it. HN has a solution for that workaround by identifying vote rings and banning them, plus banning the site that was attempting to do that. So getting on the front page remains a crapshoot, even for good material.

I wish macOS would allow for PCI passthrough to VMs (like you can do on Linux via OVMF, using QEMU). I wish I could connect an eGPU and pass full access of it to my Linux VM (or Windows VM), whether that GPU is AMD or NVidia shouldn't matter. That would remove the disadvantages Macs have when it comes to GPU and make it the best VM host (currently Linux seems to be the best option for VM host). I'm sure Mac Pro owners could take advantage of this were it possible.

However, I suspect Apple has no intention of doing this, as they are more focus on pushing Metal and reliance on macOS.

I wouldn't mind seeing PCI or GPU passthrough capabilities this in Windows 10 Pro (not just Server). With their Linux Subsystem progressing the way it is, they really have an opportunity here. Though since NVidia and CUDA are supported in Windows, maybe not as necessary as the situation on macOS.
A lot of traits commonly seen as benevolent can be attributed to evolutionary pressure. Healthy human emotions associated with these are not necessary for them to work, although they are important for living a fulfilling life.

Cooperation and diversity are both optimal so being complex social creatures we go to lenghts to communicate as widely as we may. I think it all works out quite nicely, thankfully.
One thing I've wondered about is the assumption that every possible universe exists independently, with an infinity of entire universes splitting at every fork (n states per picosecond per particle, compounding!); it seems to me that shared state(s) and a long-tail of micro-diffs (like git / Merkle trees / etc) could model the same phenomenon more efficiently/parsimoniously (disclaimer: not even slightly a theoretical physicist). This could potentially allow sufficiently overlapping states to merge, or exactly opposing states to cancel, yielding an equilibrium amongst the sea of micro-probabilities, converging either to a singular universe, or a much smaller patchwork of stable universes (either separate, or intertwined).

This parsimony question also overlaps the Simulation Hypothesis: the fact that most physical laws resolve at macro-scale, by aggregating probabilities, and only break down into odd behavior (where a particle seems to care whether or not you're looking), smells to this programmer like an optimization hack. :)

Just started reading Donald Hoffman's "The Case Against Reality", which posits some very bold answers to this question, theorizing that there is no reason to assume that base reality is anything like our perceptions (subjective or scientific), any more than there's a reason to assume the perception of a desktop icon has a direct relationship with its filesystem implementation. The implications of a "consciousness-first" rather than "matter-first" explanation of existence are staggering, and it isn't hard to set up a model in which that explanation is more parsimonious than Multiple Worlds.
Well you could, but why would you want to? Other than video games which didn’t exist in 1950, I can’t think of any reason someone would use a star catalogue in a for-profit scenario.
Those seem to contradict. Lower status males would be striving for a chance reproduce, or having reproduced would need to work to elevate their offspring's status.

China would no doubt take legal action to insist that other organizations and countries respect their intellectual property, license it, and pay royalties.

By the time all the agreements with China to respect IP are in place, China will be producing more patents annually than any other country.
It's not supported on Mac/iOS. Apple's solution to this was going to be WebGPU, but it's been in committee hell for way too long, and Apple is seemingly intent on torpedoing any goodwill they have left.

Google has since picked up the slack and is working to add WebGL 2 to WebKit on Mac/iOS platforms.

Shameless plug here. I'm working for https://cozyair.fr - keeping a good indoor air quality is good for both the user but also the the building.

CO2 is not the only factor you should look at, PM are also dangerous when you cook, or when there is outside pollution. NO2/O3 is an outdoor air pollution that we watch. Because the only way to get out the CO2 is ventilation / open your windows for a few minutes. But it can bring another kind of pollution depending your area.
>"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the Truth" -Sherlock Holmes

This axiom works in the fictional universe of Sherlock Holmes, where it's guaranteed that the protagonist will know all of the variables with perfect unbiased clarity and can, therefore, eliminate all unnecessary possibilities and solve the case.

But in the real universe, one often cannot "eliminate the impossible," because one cannot always know everything that is possible, or where ones assumptions are wrong.

>It seems like now might be the perfect time, for the price of a single space telescope, to build an exa-scale computer capable of simulating every extreme astrophysical event.

This is a good example of what I mean. We don't know what the set of all extreme astrophysical events contains, or what their nature is (ex: dark matter and dark energy) and we're constantly discovering new events and phenomena. If we could perfectly simulate the universe in this manner, we wouldn't need to.

And this is why, despite many fields of science already spending far more than 'the price of a single space telescope' to simulate everything from the Big Bang to biology and neurons to particle collisions, "instant classification of everything" isn't possible.

That's just not a thing that computers can do outside of science fiction.
I strongly disagree that simulator sickness is the major adoption barrier for VR. It's a problem, sure but most games and applications do not have the same motion disconnect as a flight simulator would and developers have got pretty good at making high to moderate comfort games, even with heavy locomotion.

The biggest adoption problem is quality VR games (Beat saber is really the only true stand out hit), followed by comfort and form factor of the hardware, followed by marketing a perception of VR. I don't think VR will ever be a smartphone or PC sized market but assuming current growth is maintained it will be a small game console sized market (10-20 million units) in a few years. This could be seen as a failure or a future that never arrived because VR won't be truly mainstream, but for all major players except Facebook (Sony, Valve) I think it will be viewed as a success.

AR hardware should be separated out as well because I think the challenges there are also applications but also technical difficulty. The mythical always on high resolution glasses or contact form factor display that could be a smartphone replacement is a lot longer away than advertised I think. If and onc technical and design challenges are reasonably solved AR hardware could take off.

I don't think they can remove MCAS.

It might just be a feel thing, but the "constant backpressure when approaching stall" feel is required by the FAA certification for all aircraft.

An alternative solution:

- Split the MAX off from the 737 type certificate.

- Make MCAS super easy to disable while leaving electric trim enabled

- Train Pilots to recognise MCAS failures and turn it off

- Training all 737-MAX pilots to fly with MCAS disabled in simulators.

- Require both MCAS failure and flying with the degraded feel in pilots yearly simulator training.
If I had a house in Maui along with all the academic and financial success he's had (in no small part as a consequence of being born into money), I too would love everyone and consider all of my actions "an offering to God"
For what it’s worth, I had a relatively positive experience with school and was a stereotypical “good” student.

But, I’m entirely aware that I was motivated to learn because I liked school, because I liked learning, because I had things I was interested in that school taught (math, history, literature, etc...) Others didn’t. I was never taught why school was good for me, I learned why school was good for me on my own, accidentally, and even then, I didn’t learn how to learn until college. Those meta-lessons, to me, are the hardest and most important lessons an education should teach.

It seems to me that discussions about school (like the featured article, and sadly, some of the comments) tunnel-vision on the stick and largely overlook the carrot from the student’s perspective (the one any successful education system must guide).
Just stay in Manchester or whatever, and pay your god damned taxes to the king. Moving to the New World is bleak, bleak stuff.

Just stay on Earth or whatever, and fix your god damned environment. Settling the Solar System - how dare you? Tell me one of those space ships won't get hit by an asteroid.

I mean, heck, the idea of doing a startup of any kind is dangerously transgressive. If you make new things, something bad might happen! And existing companies might lose customers! There will be change! Chaos! Mayhem!

Or - crazy idea here - perhaps we could have the courage to not let the plot of a video game limit our social innovation?

Or, if that's the only metric you have, at least pick the right game - SimCity!
When it comes to constructing narratives and interpreting the basic evidence, a newspaper is constrained only by the need to tell and sell a story, not by the need to choose a positive course of action in order to identify and solve the fundamental problems entailed. It's not about the basic facts, it's about what you do with them.
Ah, so you're an actual libertarian, not a Libertarian. I tend to agree with libertarian principles but often times they just get co-opted by Libertarians.
>> But it is also possible to survive.

I think there is a big gap in how different people see this. You are right, it is possible to survive. It is also possible to fail. For some people, that is fine -- they can call up an uncle, or a friend (Thiel) and land another job quickly that pays good medical benefits.

For others, an 20/80, or even 50/50 or 80/20 survive/fail just does not cut it. Perhaps they have crushing student loans. Perhaps they have no parents to fall back upon if things go south. Perhaps they have visa issues. Perhaps they have a sick parent to take care of (my case.)

I admire your ambition (and envy it.) I hope people who have social safety nets realize it though. Because not everyone does.

It reminds me of a fellow undergraduate Senior who looked down upon me for going to work on Wall Street while he did the more pure thing of going for the Peace Corps. I asked -- so how do you land a job when you're done with the 2yrs commitment? He said his uncle was going to hook him up at a hedge fund. Nice, if you can swing that. Me? I have no uncles at hedge funds, so the on-campus recruiting super-day was my one and only shot. I dont think that makes my choice less pure, it is just one of relative necessity.
>>> Then, you give them a fake schematic of the circuit board, and ask them to troubleshoot the problem.

Is the board built to the schematic?

That's my first question when a board loses its magic smoke.
Even easier - only buy and cook/eat things from the supermarket that have one ingredient.
I recently got a job offer from Odoo and from what I could gather they seem to be a nice company with an open source culture. Unfortunately working as a developer for Odoo means moving to some place in the Belgian countryside (or to Gandhinagar, India)
>Talk to people. Don't take a few seconds of something that they said and relentlessly mock them, like the guy is doing in that video you sent.

People as individuals of course deserve for us to listen to them. Anybody. But it's OK to mock groups that go into aggregate stupid behavior - which also means mocking their members, but as members, not necessarily as whole human beings.

>Again, there is such thing as aggregate behavior, but break it apart. How much of it is toxic, and how much of it do you just find weird/not quite your taste?

Depends. If you're trying to judge an individual judge them on a case by case basis, despite whatever group(s) they might belong to. After all, their group affiliation doesn't define somebody totally. There can be jerk Democrats and wonderful Republicans for example, and vice versa. In fact, there can be great people that are otherwise (and for their own life-history reasons) bigots, and hideous hypocritical people who are otherwise humanitarians. People are complex.

That said, it's also helpful to judge movements in aggregate, when trying to trace historical contours, affect change, etc.

MLK could simply throw his hands up and say "everybody is different, I can't assume there is racism in the country" and try to access everybody individually -- and that would have gotten nowhere. Or, as he did, he could say there are very strong racist currents in the country, especially in the South, and I need to march there, and do so and so to change those people, as he did.

One has to think at several levels of abstraction, not just individual people.

>It's easy to treat someone like the "other" and project a lot of unfavorable traits onto them, because it's human nature. But it's important to try not to other-ize people.

If anything, I have another problem, I'm heavily contrarian. I see some things as basically correct, but if you push towards -X in a discussion (or if many people do) I will push towards X (even if in another disucssion I will push towards -X if somebody pushes to X) to restore balance. I also tend to pick things I agree with with both sides of a debate, even things they'll never themselves agree with ever. I basically hate group conformity. E.g. I can see the truth in some alt-right points, and I can see hardline leftist points. Not merely from a centrist way though (a compromise between them) but even hardcore tenets of one or the other side.

The thing missing is an explanation for why we find ourselves in a particular branch. Insisting that this doesn’t require an explanation is never going to be satisfying for some people.

I’ll try to explain why, using your random variable sampling analogy, which is telling. In the case of say, sampling from a coin toss random variable, there is indeed a more primitive explanation for why the coin comes up heads or tails, it’s just that it would be a much more complicated explanation involving knowledge of huge amounts of detail about the exact force applied to the coin, maybe air currents in the area where coin is being flipped, etc. But in principle that is all explainable.

With quantum measurement, there is no such explanation available, even in principle. We are told only that we will find ourselves in one of the possibilities admitted by the distribution predicted by QM. We have no further explanation for which one it will be. The QM multiverse folks then expect us to be okay with this as the end of the explanation. But notice this is a choice to adopt something as axiomatic. We could have done that at other points in the history of physics but didn’t.
Part of it is that it requires an art side of things. There's no tutorial that can tell you "how to shader", more than there is a tutorial that tells you how to draw. Well, there are plenty of "how to draw" tutorials but they don't get you that far, it's a process of self-discovery and a skill that you need to practice.

Similarly, there are plenty of tech art / VFX shader tutorials out there if you go looking in the right spot, but they can't tell you how to construct a scene like this. That's something that the art side of you needs to solve.

Only because the laborers are being horrendously underpaid, no? If globalization had really fully happened you wouldn't be able to pay people in china slave labor wages to make your clothes for you.
The decay rate for front page items has always felt off to me. Quite often you'll see articles with 20-30 points and no comments camp in the middle of the front page all day, while more actively discussed items drop off.
Are you talking about sausage? Because herbs aren't for preservation in sausages. The 'natural' preservative in sausages is celery, which has nitrate, which is then converted to nitrite during curing. 'Biological' sausage makers still do that, because this way they don't have to disclose nitrite additives, althougj their final product has more nitrite than properly dosed regular sausages.

I still think there's no real problem with eating preserved meat, but the misguided worship of ye good old times needs to stop.

theoretically yes, China has bluntly stolen western tech and appropriated it. But still the western "order" is based on such agreements, and if its upholders (the west) decides to forgo it, all hell breaks loose.
Even if you take the 1200's as the end of the Empire, and ignore the Roman Republic and take 31 BC as the defacto start of rule of the Roman Emperor, you still are looking at over a millenia.
