The photon has some amplitude for reflecting in all possible directions, it happens that for certain directions these amplitudes are very close to the same value and so reinforce and become more probable, and at wider angles tend to cancel out and become less probable. When this is not the case and wider angles instead reinforce you can observe this directly in for instance a diffraction grating.
ASLR isn’t a complete exploit mitigation technique, it just hinders attacker by usually requiring them to pair it with another exploit. On many platforms the limited number of random bits makes it clear that it’s not a perfect protection against all attacks.

You are averaging weights in distributed training? That seems like it would be rife with pitfalls unless you average after every batch.

I always thought the preferred method was to average the gradient updates, and pass that to update the single mother-model.
> OS X was around in the days of XP and Linux was perfectly usable on the desktop.

> A few years earlier things were a little more bleak.

I admit I was unclear on the time I was talking about, and probably inadvertently mangled a few things.

As for Linux in the XP era, I was using it, yes, but I wouldn't recommend it to others back then because it still had pretty hard sticking points with regards to what hardware it could use. As I said, Winmodems (cheap sound cards with a phone jack instead of a speaker/microphone jack, which shove all of the modem functionality onto the CPU) were one issue, and then there was WiFi on laptops, and NTFS support wasn't there yet, either. I remember USB and the move away from dial-up as being big helps in hardware compatibility.

>9/10 times, my net displacement for the day is 0. If my net displacement is zero, I would prefer to own the medium I'm using to move.

I don't. 9/10 times, despite zero net displacement my commutes are asymmetrical — on my way there I'm in a rush, but on the way back I'm not. So I'll often take a high cost, high speed option like a scooter towards a destination, then take a more leisurely, generally free option like walking or transit back home. As a bonus, I never have to deal with storing my vehicle while I'm at my destination, or with taking it with me if I add an intermediate stop nearby before returning home.

That is a different product. coconut milk is thick, creamy, fatty and used in Thai cooking. I know no other word for it.
I suppose, but any isomorphism has its limits.

For me, a scooter is much more affordable than say, a hotel. I am willing to pay a small premium in rent over buying the hotel for the convenience and flexibility of not having to own a hotel.

I am fortunate enough that there's no way a lime makes any sort of financial sense for commuting last mile in a place I live. I can buy a scooter for $500; I will break even on Lime/Bird in less than 3 months. For tourists, great, for denizens, not so much.

The simple fact is, unless you want to pay for the luxury of having to walk to a scooter you pilot yourself, owning your own things has always made more sense. The ability to semi-summon an object on command is great when you need, and can afford, the option. However, we should be optimizing infrastructure for everyone, not just those who can pay for it.

Dockless scooters are also much more immediately annoying to a lot more people - basically, a few people ride them, and everyone else trips over and/or fears getting hit by them on the sidewalks.

By contrast, at least in the early stages, rideshare was almost invisible to anyone who wasn't actively using it. That left a much longer runway for the "break rules and then get forgiveness" strategy.
Thanks! Impressive as well!

If you are averaging weights often enough, then it's basically the same as averaging gradients. If you average the weights of a bunch of independently-trained models, you're going to have a rough time. Even if the function computes the exact same thing, the order of rows and columns in the intermediate matrices will totally ruin your averaging strategy.
Spot on!

Resonates very well with me, working at a scale up in a "platform team".

Business wise we're set to out engineer competition. Biggest challenges are definitely to get engineers on board on training and transitioning into new "cool" technology. Should we help highly skilled advanced teams run fast or focus on getting everyone on board the cloud native train?
>Abstract
Hypothesized that light flashes observed by astronauts in space are caused by ionization or another form of interaction of primary cosmic particles with tissues, and that "streaks may be heavy primaries, and double points could be accounted for by 1 cosmic particle intersecting the retina at 2 points . . . . To test the validity of these hypotheses and the probability that the human dark-adapted eye may be a sensitive and unique cosmic ray detector," visual phophene phenomena produced by fast neutrons were investigated using 2 human Ss. Ss "were exposed to a beam of fast neutrons with energies between 20-640 MeV produced by a 0.64 GeV proton beam impinging on a 12 cm beryllium target." Both Ss were dark adapted over 2 hr. before exposure. After exposure, 1 S saw pinpoint flashes coinciding with the presence of the beam; the other S saw between 25-50 bright discrete lights. In another exposure in which the beam contained no protons or other particles, there were no observations of visual phenomenon during or after a total exposure of about 5,000 particles through each retina. X-ray phosphenes did not produce visual phenomena similar to bright pinpoints of light observed during neutron exposure. It is suggested that if the passage of "particles causes irreversible deterioration of retinal cells and of neurons, then in a long space flight outside the Earth's magnetosphere, a significant degree of random cellular damage might result."

I don't think anyone is suggesting we set the minimum wage to be particularly high, just enough to have a reasonable living wage. In the case of the linked studies, it was an increase of somewhere around 20-30%.

I figure you made your comment to demonstrate that the reasoning doesn't work on the extremes, but that only really works as a rebuttle if someone were seriously suggesting something extreme.
Most companies only go public when they are profitable.
Alternatively stop exporting jobs and outsourcing joining a race to the bottom.

Stop buying cheap, disposable stuff and buy durable things affording locals a living wage. Minimum wages are only slightly better. In my mind minimum wages are wages to minimally support a teenager or similar who has no other responsibilities. People with responsibilities need actually decent jobs.

Hollowing our decent paying blue collar jobs will drive some people to despair.

True. I've always regarded "Wintel" as more descriptive than accusatory. It's just a handy shorthand to refer to one specific monoculture.

> Between Palladium not working out and Microsoft actually making Windows NT for some RISC ISA's, there wasn't actually an Intel/Microsoft conspiracy to dominate the industry together.

Right. They both happened to rise and converge, and it's humanity's need to see patterns which turns that into a conspiracy to take over the world. They both owe IBM a huge debt, and IBM did what it did with no intention of being knocked down by the companies it did business with.
This is not what I'm saying.

Stealing models byte for byte is obviously a copyright issue, as is stealing music

The issue is that companies can trademark the "form" of their products and therefore demand licencing fees so no, they couldn't just make their own mailbox because USPS would attempt to sue them for violating their trademark on the shape of the mailbox. Basically, it's become a shitty way of getting a forever-patent as well as rent seeking within totally unrelated industries.

Some common examples:

Model a tractor and make it green -> John Deere sues you

Model a car with no badges that looks vaguely like a Porsche -> Porsche sues you

Model a military jet designed entirely with taxpayer money -> Lockheed Martin/Boeing/Textron/Mikoyan/Sukhoi/etc sue you

Model a tube with some fins and add literally any military AGM/MIM/AIM/etc name -> Raytheon sues you

Model a AR style rifle and make the filename 'm4' -> Colt sues you

Mind you none of the above affect the respective industries of the listed companies.
Wow, thank you. This guy decisively describes what I’ve been yammering to my friends about since moving to SF and learning about this industry.
This is not the full explanation, as can be checked with a simple experiment. Dip a piece of cloth in a glass of water and hold it there submerged beneath the surface. The submerged part will still look darker than the dry part, despite the fact that there is no film of water covering it.

Other comments here have put forward the explanation that the water matches the index of refraction of the material much more closely, meaning that light is more likely to pass straight through the material instead of bouncing off. This explanation seems much more likely to be correct to me.

Another experiment: Put some wet spots on a cloth and hold it up to a light source. More light will pass through the wet spots than the dry cloth. This certainly suggests that the reason wet cloth reflects less light is because more is passing through. (I have tried both these experiments with paper towel used as the cloth.)
When I went to college in 1999, a kid down the hall from me pushed me really hard to install Be. It looked really cool when he showed it to me...

... But no programs that I wanted ran on it! As cool as BeOS was, without programs, it was little more than a demo or a hobby.

Within a year I tried Windows NT and Windows 2000, and then forgot all about BeOS. Windows 2000 did everything that BeOS did for me, didn't crash, and ran all the programs I wanted to.
No. I often mow my lawn in a pattern to produce nice stripes. It's also commonly done on sports stadium grass. A pattern (if chosen for efficiency) can actually reduce the wear of riding/pushing a lawn mower over the grass by minimizing the number of passes needed over a given patch of grass.
IIRC Bao was already based off of blake2s.
Just look at the first page of each document. The one I linked clearly states on page "i" both an Objective and a Finding ("did not adequately support $2.8 trillion in third quarter journal voucher (JV) adjustments and $6.5 trillion in yearend"). Your document neither addresses this issue nor does it include any stated objective nor does it include any stated findings. No one who even skimmed this document would suspect it even addresses this topic. We can't just assume, as you would like to do, that a massive problem of long standing would just disappear in a couple of years. No one thinks that the Pentagon stole $6.5T in one year. The fact that the $6.5T figure appears anywhere on Pentagon account books is the problem. When "adjustments" with no reasonable explanation overwhelm real assets and transactions, the accounts are without meaning. In such a situation, we can be sure that lots of resources are being diverted to unapproved purposes, even if those diversions don't tally to the trillions. (Although, when the budget is 3/4 of a trillion per year, it's not going to take long to get there.)

Frankly you seem to be arguing with straw men. Why is that? Do you have any professional experience with accounting? Have you ever produced a balance sheet? Have you ever read one?
Here's his reasoning:

"honestly, there is no way I can merge any of the ZFS efforts until I get an official letter from Oracle that is signed by their main legal counsel or preferably by Larry Ellison himself that says that yes, it's ok to do so and treat the end result as GPL'd.

Other people think it can be ok to merge ZFS code into the kernel and that the module interface makes it ok, and that's their decision. But considering Oracle's litigious nature, and the questions over licensing, there's no way I can feel safe in ever doing so.

And I'm not at all interested in some "ZFS shim layer" thing either that some people seem to think would isolate the two projects. That adds no value to our side, and given Oracle's interface copyright suits (see Java), I don't think it's any real licensing win either."

This is the theme of Bon Jovi's ill-fated concept album "Dark When Wet", the followup to their smash hit "Slippery When Wet". Such commercial success must have gone to their heads to attempt such an audacious second project as a sequel based on Quantum Electrodynamics. It was doomed to failure.

Re-interpretations of their classics, such as "Wanted, Dead or Alive - Schrödinger Redux" failed to capture the live animal energy of the original, and "Livin' on a Fermion", with lyrics such as "Pauli used to work on the docks/That's not even wrong/He'd have fallen right through/It's tough" left not only their core audience baffled, but indeed all sentient beings.

Hardly surprising that Mercury Record buried all mention of the album (and will deny it to this day). They returned to more familiar ground with "Jersey Shore", but lament the death of the Concept Album with this last, brave attempt.

Opinions. It's one thing to have them, it's another thing to force them on society.

If you want to reduce plastic consumption, just don't use it. But I bet you use a phone, computer, desk, eye glasses, wallet, clothing, etc., all made from the environmental destroying resource.

If you don't like addictive carcinogens, don't take them. Or is it your job to save humanity by banning it for everyone, or people of a certain age?

I have plenty of concerns, but I don't dare force them on the masses because of my own efforts of good faith. Change starts with you.

But here's a question... if plastic and nicotine and maybe other things like alcohol are so bad, why not just outright ban them (prohibited) instead of just limited to reduced consumption? It's b.s. legislation meant to signal virtue to the constituents. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
