The credentialism in deep learning is absurd. This guy has a PhD in theoretical physics from UC Davis, he's winning competitions on Kaggle, and he can't even get an interview.

I remember that moment to this day. I am standing at the scene. The organizer is preparing a check and some gifts. Alexey and I emerge victoriously, but I can’t help but feel frustrated by the apparent absurdity. How did this happen that some random dude that does not have domain knowledge in medical imaging got first places in both challenges? And yet, people that make money for a living working on medical imaging use much weaker models?

I asked the audience: “Do you know where do I work?” Noone, except one organizer who checked my LinkedIn profile knew. I told them that I work at TrueAccord, a debt collection agency and that I did not train deep learning models at work. I lamented that I was not able to break away from this model because HRs in Google Brain and Deepmind did not even look at my resume.

I did an MSCS in the US about 10 years ago - I don’t remember what it actually cost because my employer paid for it, but I do remember that there was a $5000/year cap on tuition reimbursement and I never got close to that.

I think altruism and good is the natural evolution of the universe. People fear aliens but I feel any race that hasn’t extinguished itself has already realized that doing good and love are the best way.
I agree, parents do not have 'total' control over their kids, but they have to ensure their well-being, get medical care in cases of illness (physical, mental). If they neglect that responsibility, they are as equally responsible for any outcome, "your mileage might vary" depending what laws your state has. Same goes for engineers, they cannot completely control the durability of, say, steel, hence they cannot be held accountable for bad quality of steel (except for poor judgement buying cheap/bad steel). But someone else is responsible for quality. And so on.

So, yes, with untested scenarios (like "secret orders") responsibility fall into the hands of those who imposed the orders and omitted crucial tests. It's not even the engineers fault anymore.
Valve has started taking money for the game and given a concrete release date. I think you can count on it actually being released with little if any schedule slippage.

I'm curious what would happen if a new paper tried to reference previous papers published in ArXiv instead of the traditional publishers. From a strictly academic perspective, I can't think of any reason why this would be a problem, apart from the existential problem it causes for traditional publishers.

Amazing what a brown envelope can achieve — it isn't anywhere near as good as it would appear to be reading the report. The FAA were neither thorough nor demanding and failed to write up marry issues.
And the lies, the damned lies — I was removed from the simulator for three days in the week leading up to the evaluation on the instructions of a Senior Manager so that certainly individuals could 'tune' with the pilot. The tiring then fouled up multiple QTG tests and was clearly wrong and the pilot was forced to sign a SoC that was clearly based on a lie. Another Senior Manager was also screamed at in a temper tantrum by said individual and also barred from the simulator. The Go/No Go decision comes along and then aforementioned Senior Manager and Senor Engineer then state to a cast of 30 —"we have to trust the decision of ti ]on Site". Needless to say, I tore straight into riland E.1117171about the lies and the unethicaticleceiffd nature of this comment as it meant I was set up to take the blame should it have gone wrong.
It is a joke and nothing more — whilst 9 PMs were on Site last week during the evaluation, it was for a jolly/free meal. One PM even said that given that we are tiler budget, we should hire a yacht a sail around Miami harbour to celebrate and even asked submit the request...

It’s always great to be able to study the source code for successful, released, real games.

I will note that this is actually the source code of the C++ rewrite! The original game was written in Flash, and this version was apparently written by Simon Roth.

My impressions: The source code is a bit of a tangle here. There are magic numbers (https://wiki.c2.com/?MagicNumber) all over the place, plenty of god classes (https://wiki.c2.com/?GodClass), and in general you will have to do a bit too much archaeology to figure out what a particular class or member function is supposed to do (the function and class names don’t give you enough, and there are no comments to help out). There are a few WTFs in here, like the "int i, j, j;" in Script.h.

THAT SAID, This is not really out of the ordinary for successful, released, real games. It’s not really different in style from the Celeste Player code.

https://github.com/NoelFB/Celeste/blob/master/Source/Player/...

But if you’re writing a game of this size or complexity, I recommend doing some refactoring work along the way. In my experience, this will reduce the amount of insanity in the project towards the second half of the development cycle.

But I am always more impressed by ugly code behind a good game than I am by clean code behind an unreleased, unfinished, or unfun game.
Anyone remember the great rebellion of 2011 against XML? Strangely reminiscent.
> Open source is defined by the OSD

To be a bit pedantic, your statement is a slightly ambiguous.

They have a good/accurate definition of open source. They don't "define it" in that they can change the definition to mean "and the packaging must be blue" and that becomes part of what open source means.

How would they know what it is if nobody explains it to them? It's not like the term is obvious.
There are many interesting potential outcomes that could emerge from such an idea.

Here is one that would be a tad awkward:

- The concept goes appreciably (if not crazily) viral, people start distributing "SWF-lectron" containers, and much fun is had by all.

- Flash is officially deprecated (incidentally 20 days from now, the 11th of January 2020). It dies; the bitrot process is exponentially accelerated because of the huge installed base yet abrupt and utter lack of updates. Many, many, MANY vulnerabilities are found in the platform. How much impact do they have? Theoretically little to none. But you never know.

- The Electron containers used in this idea probably never get updated. It proves surprisingly easy to just wait for Chrome 0days to float to the top of the pond, scoop them up, and rework them.

Practically speaking I know the above will never really eventuate. But it's what I envisage; more generally, that anything that leverages Flash will fall victim to a very mature ecosystem of hackers (the cracker kind) who've been studying the platform for years, and have a once-in-a-lifetime moment to attack while the platform remains installed.

Flash will have a half-life of years, but it's going to become a VERY big target, I think.

I think.

When it comes to license renewals where I work, we first try to reach the primary contact. If that fails, we try to contact whoever else we have on record. If that fails, we send snail mail. If that fails, then we give up.

At some point, the license will expire and the software will stop working. 90% of the time, this will result in an emergency call to our tech support, who will issue them a temporary (2 week, I believe) license and get the updated contact for who to reach to talk about a real renewal.

However, our customers are medium-to-large corporations and our software is system-critical for them. I'm not sure if this approach would be reasonable if your customers are normal human beings.

I dunno about you, but I have very little working memory in my head, just a few items, and only one focus of attention with a narrow field of view.

I can’t read that style of code, but opening a traditional codebase with part of the code here using lots of symbols to achieve a tiny amount of work and the next piece of work is four screens away, using a lot of symbols to achieve a small amount of work, it’s like declaring legalese as the most readable kind of English because it bloats so big it must be readable.

judging by the only standard that matters, readability, this is not a good coding style

What about composable idioms and conventions which let you do a lot of data transforms with a little attention and time?

What about a small amount of code to maintain and refactor? If this style saved you ten lines it might not help but where’s the cutoff that you’d start to be interested - if it saved you 50% of the work? 75%? 99.999999%?

If “big count per line of code is constant” this ought to be an exceptionally low bug style, right?

What about having less code to demonstrate correctness of?

What about having little code to throw away and rewrite if you don’t like it, leasing to a faster refactoring cycle time and a better expression of your intent after s set time? Or leading to readability simply being less important because the cost of rewriting 50 lines from scratch is so much lower than rewriting 10,000 lines from scratch?

Or if you’re writing documentation and there’s an order of magnitude less code to write about?

Or if you should write as many lines of test code as real code, and there’s an order of magnitude less code to test?

The whole style isn’t just “golf the character count”, but “collapse down the size of everything so one human attention covers a lot more of it, like zooming out to get a higher overview”.

Crossing down from several files to one file is a phase transition, crossing from one long file to one screen, is.
What's the minimum size team this tool would be useful for?
The Valve Index is actually pretty good at this. It's not quite 180, but somewhere around 130 which is good enough to give you decent peripheral vision. I feel like the next generation of VR will be a lot closer.

Also, the main thing holding back VR right now is the amount of graphics horsepower required to run complex games at high resolutions and refresh rates of 90-120fps. I don't think there are any cards on the market that can run the Index at native resolution in most games (the software will scale the resolution to your hardware).

okay, the premise. Flutter on mobile saves 66% of dev time. My fast cal indicates that if a Vc spends 800k on 5 he or she can dev 10 good ventures by sharing the dev team across all 10 and come out reasonably well at 80k dev of prototype per venture.

So I am wondering how many have clued-in to this. I know of one or two recently listed on angellist.

Google, in my mind, is the quintessential "You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain" story.

(To be fair, since this all is subjective, I do believe Google 2009 would consider this behavior counter to it's values and the values of the people it attracted.)

The question I have is are there ways to stay true to values (which in some cases might be in direct opposition to growth and profit taking) with the way our society is structured? Has any major company pulled this off? (This reminds me a bit of the Boeing story posted a few days ago where quality lost out to dangerous shortcuts for profit)
For the record, I'm more open to this style now so I'd like permission to take a few steps back from that statement in 2009 (and probably most of my others that year!).

Coding in a terse style really does have some benefits. You can understand more program flow at one time and you can easily see larger patterns.

You can down play it all you want but it was a really nice OS for its time. It's smooth GUI was very competitive to other clunky windowing systems of the time. The advanced part was threading and smp support were woven into the system api making smp development a first class programming concept. Other operating systems felt like threading was bolted on and clunky. And thanks to the smp support prioritizing the GUI made 100% sense. And I believe there were some soft real time abilities of the scheduler so processes with high priority ran reliably.

VR simracing can be hit and miss i.e. rf2 looks amazing but is rough around the edges (Hungaroring in the wet in a GT3 car is amazing in VR) but assetto Corsa looks awful.

Don't bother with anything worse than an Index these days, the Vive is amazing in beat Sabre but awful if you want to read the dials.

It seems like a bulky novelty. Like something we would very much enjoy but because of the cost and involved setup I'd rather go to an arcade to experience VR than throw it into a room and turn gaming into an even more socially isolated thing than it already is. I also don't know how often I'd use it past. Seems fun for racing and flight games, but I also can't justify keeping a ton of simulation racing/flight gear around in my house. A simple handheld controller seems "good enough" for achieving 90% of the fun.

I do wish there'd be more VR availability in arcade-style places.
While I also find it questional, perhaps it will lessen the effect of a degree. In the end, you shouldn't need a degree if you have the skills. Nowadays, it can be hard for self-taught developers to get in the industry, just because they don't have a paper from a famous university.

Summary: 1970's small town rural Oregon. Father, pipe fitter, bought home & cars. Five kids. Jobs left in '90's. 4 kids now dead (before age 70), as are 25% of the kids they rode the bus with. Causes: suicide, accidents, OD, renal failure. "... in Yamhill [OR], Clayton Green, a brilliant mechanic ... died last January, leaving five grandchildren — and all have been removed from their parents by the state for their protection."

"several counties in the United States have life expectancies shorter than those in Cambodia or Bangladesh ... when you can predict wretched outcomes based on the ZIP code where a child is born, the problem is not bad choices the infant is making."

Why? "First, well-paying jobs disappeared, partly because of technology and globalization but also because of political pressure on unions ... Second, there was an explosion of drugs ... aggravated by ... marketing of prescription painkillers by pharmaceutical companies. Third, the war on drugs sent fathers and mothers to jail ..."

Hope: "Job training and retraining give people dignity as well as an economic lifeline ... For instance, autoworkers were laid off during the 2008-9 economic crisis both in Detroit and ... Windsor, Ontario. ... The United States ... extended unemployment benefits. Canada emphasized job retraining ... and Canadian workers also did not have to worry about losing health insurance. Canada’s approach succeeded." Resumed-ed education & addictions treatment may help too
