I actually like having discrete control units for different components in cars. Recently I upgraded the suspension control computer in my sports car to a much more advanced aftermarket one that calculates and controls each shock absorber dynamically. This wouldn't be possible with a "monolithic" control unit like the Tesla has.
Often, the clients of legacy code are old too, and are hard coded to access it.

I've done this, but on a private branch, with a single merge to trunk in the end. Starting with complex integration tests, new interfaces were gradually defined and made the code testable, giving me the needed confidence.
Can you tell what area is this? Is it a backend service or something like software that runs on consumer's PCs?
A language or interface is defined by the set of symbols mutually agreed upon. If you allow Unicode that number simply explodes, thus bloating and complicating the language/interface and its implementation as well. In effect it is no longer the same language but becomes a different, more complex one.

The tradeoff is not worth it for programming languages the same way as learning all the scripts of the world is not worth it for one human being, just to accomplish tasks that don't need all these symbols in the first place.
To anyone that wants the short term solution, for this and other browser issues: https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/

1. use firefox, a browser that sold you just like chrome and safari, but at least kept the settings around.

2. use user.js above, which is a pretty crazy restrictive default, and then opt-in the features you need as you miss them. (it's just commenting out one line, no voodoo)
Some people hate unicode quotes because lots of software will automatically convert ASCII quotes to them when you copy/paste your code to Slack or email to share with others.
The money is great, of course, but a piece of me wonders every time I see this sort of thing if spending time managing these endeavors directly would be more impactful towards the goal.

Of course it's Mac only. :(
The conspiracy is that it got out during experimentation. You're talking about a fully developed bioweapon, the conspiracy makes sense if you consider perhaps they were playing around with sars and tuning it when it escaped to the wuhan animal market next door.
I've seen this in a couple of places. Junior dev assigned to design new system. Senior dev assigned to mentor junior dev. Senior dev encourages junior dev based on experience. Junior dev ignores everything senior dev says. Manager listens to whatever junior dev says and sidelines senior dev. Senior dev goes on vacation. System explodes.
Ideally you should block all SSH traffic except from a VPN (not a public one obviously). In that case it wouldn't matter whether you changed the port.
It doesn't have to be engineered as a bioweapon, to be artificial. Could be some kind of experiment that leaked out.
Obviously there was dysfunction here, but not just with the managers. It was the engineers in this case, on both sides, that were convinced the other engineers had screwed things up, and they were kicking in their heels as hard as they could rather than trying to debug it.

No, it's not a problem. WikiLeaks is free to post whatever they'd like on their own platform, which they already have.
I had a really fun time going through the ray tracer challenge recently! It really is an amazing introduction to ray tracing

I've since moved on to the pbr book[0] and finding myself getting much more lost in the math. I'm doing my best to brush up and/or learn all of it, but it's a bit daunting.

It's really telling how reassuring the tests are in the RTC. Right now I can re-implement something from the pbr-book, but I can't really say if I got it right other than by doing a render (and even then, it can be hard to tell).

My plan is to at least go through and write my own tests by doing the math by hand and trying to verify my implementations.

I really wish there were some intermediary book between the two.

Moreover, the kind of builders you want as an early stage startup are almost certainly not the type who would be hired guns for this kind of VC.

There's nothing forced about FB. You don't have to use FB, it's that simple.

No, why would they do that?

Twitter is a private organization. There is no such thing as "free speech" in the private world.
But that doesn't help if I want that 2FA key to access their mail, Gitlab instance, AWS servers, etc. What do I do when someone leaves and I want to be able to revoke it and take over their repositories and accounts?

If I'm a 1000 person company, I've got resources to spend on my corporate 2FA infrastructure.

What do I do when it's 10 people? 20 people? 50 people?
Sounds like a sub-optimal workflow tbh. Why not copy/paste in the first place and then edit?

It definitely works. I'm on mobile now but remember that the two parameters in the wm_class correspond to name and class (I always forget which is which) . Also you can use regex in the matching iirc
It's relatively easy to put together a neural network that works as advertised with test data and sort-of works with a good amount of real world data. That's not the problem.

The actual problem is the basically what GP actually said; Making a working neural network doesn't mean it provides any value in the real world.

But pi defines its structure. By being seemingly random and irrational, it has created a specific ordered set of symbols and imbued that set with meaning because it has a referent: we call it pi.
Go has it bad - the bread-and-butter append() may or may not alias the original array. Even C++ balks at non-deterministic aliasing.
I like to use the vim plugin DrawIt for ascii diagrams:

Pretty easy to create comments for code that need a drawing for clear expositions.
It's not that I don't acknowledge that it's better it just doesn't seem worth it unless specifically buying the 5k iMac. TB3 as a display standard + costs double what a 4k monitor does + lack of guarantee of long term vendor support for either TB3 as an input or 5k.

I also think there are just such economies of scale around 4k as well.
"Within ~280 meters from the market, there was the Wuhan Center for Disease Control & Prevention(WHCDC). WHCDC hosted animals in laboratories for research purpose, one of which was specialized in pathogens collection and identification. In one of their studies, 155 bats including Rhinolophus affinis were captured in Hubei province, and other 450 bats were captured in Zhejiang province

The expert in collection was noted in the Author Contributions (JHT) Moreover, he was broadcasted for collecting viruses on nation-wide newspapers and websites in 2017 and 2019. He described that he was once by attacked by bats and the blood of a bat shot on his skin. He knew the extreme danger of the infection so he quarantined himself for 14 days. In another accident, he quarantined himself again because bats peed on him. He was once thrilled for capturing a bat carrying a live tick

https://www.scribd.com/document/447056518/Originsof2019-NCoV...

This was the paper that got taken down. The take down was perhaps fair enough, it's just speculation.

But what is in it, is I believe true. The labs in Wuhan studied bats. Stop the lie we think it was engineered, no one credible is saying that, it's reasonable to think it was an accidental release from a lab.
Cool, that's good to know.
I imagine it must be not too hard to learn to use either hand. I started a new job and got given a shit mouse which caused me wrist pain and I found I was able to use the left hand until I went and got my own mouse. It was a bit awkward at first but after a few hours I felt I was 90% as good as I was with the right hand.

Aleurier Skin Cream
Inappropriate use may cause Aleurier Skin Cream to not be overlooked. They're just washouts also. Where would colleagues be able to eat up wonderful Aleurier Skin Cream bargains? How Does Aleurier Skin Cream Work? There are a wide scope of presumptions around there of intrigue. Here are the fundamental points of interest of this equation with the goal that clients recognize what they can expect: Reduces the presence of scarce differences and wrinkles all through the skin surface Enhances the creation of collagen and elastin mixes Repairs the dermal layer and fortifies the skin surface Boosts hydration levels and advances a supple and dewy look Counters the effect of free radicals for the support of ever-enduring skin These are a couple of the primary potential advantages to be had when utilizing this item. Indeed, most items just give an impermanent lift in the smoothness of one's skin, however neglect to at last decrease the perceivability of the most well-known indications of maturing.

Not sure if you're aware, but it's widely publicized that SpaceX was granted licenses, waivers, and extensions that other companies were not, nor have been in the past. So yes, they have licenses, but it seems lobbying and Elon's fame has far more to do with this than anything.

I am running Debian stable (exim4, spamd) on my own little hardware as my own email server out of the box for years now, and never had any issues at all besides the initial config. Spam filtering works better than commercial providers like gmx or posteo. I have unattended-upgrades installed and every few years I do a apt-get dist-upgrade. That's it, for years now.
One thing I didn't understand about hedge funds is why they limit themselves to only accepting large sums of money from individuals. That concept appeared a lot in the movie about Bernie Madoff. Is it harder to manage a hedge fund with more investors? Once you get the money from them shouldn't the hedge fund be able to use the money just the same as if it came from few rich people?
Where, just out of curiosity?
Productively building and finding the right thing to build to be successful are different things, and one can be good at either while being terrible at the other.
Not in general, I guess; 20 - 8 * 7 would be "20 ENTER 8 ENTER 7 * -". So if you need to do first operation which is not the leftmost, you'd have to add another "ENTER".
LOL! An urban elitist dilettante who feels they are better than everyone just lost their mask of moral superiority for a second there. Is this the same urbanite who has previously mentioned nuanced conversation in other posts? Never mind, as there is no sport as easy as making fun of the hypocrisy of the hard core leftist statist.

So, let me make this simple then if you want simple. You support aggressive wealth and income distribution. I do not. I believe those who earn things should keep most of what they have earned. So, if it's between Harrison Bergeron or Mad Max then let's get in the thunderdome.
I don't know about hate, but each man an island was the tone set by top owners and executives since 1999.

Dev is hard enough, but the demands of divisive process micromanagement just creates heroes and firefighters, and sets up org for continual failure.

While endless backlogs and mitigations documents processes, creative collaborative progress nosedives.

Majority of devs need facilitation though. No history of otherwise, but perhaps a silo issue.

Drop-ins can be natural, but not so much as upfront restrictions-planning outside teams.
Even though the OP seems offended by the presence of the Unicode quote marks for some reason, they have nothing to do with the issue of Apple Books surrounding the copied text with those quote marks and adding an attribution line. If they'd surrounded the text with ASCII quote marks and added an attribution line, it would have still been a syntax error, wouldn't it.

Personally, I don't see any reason to hate typographically correct quote marks when used correctly, which (obviously) doesn't include code samples.

The intersection of people who can't train a machine learning model but can properly use and evaluate one is really small. Doing a brute force architecture search to squeeze out an extra percentage point of accuracy is not that useful.

As someone who has raised angel and VC money in the past, I find the accredited investor rules useful for the company as well as for protecting individuals.

Having a clear standard that I can point to to say “these investors are grown-ups that knew what they were investing in” helps minimize things like superfluous lawsuits from people that really shouldn’t have been risking their only savings in an angel investment.

I don’t want to dig deep into an angel’s personal finances to determine if they can really afford to invest or not based on savings and risk profile and having a legal bar an investor has to meet makes the process of raising money slightly less onerous.

That doesn't sound too different to what some VCs already do. E.g. from what I heard about Rocket Internet from some of their portfolio company, they act in a very similar way.

Yes, they also provide cash as part of the funding deal, but they will most likely place one C-level executive in your startup. They'll also happily provide you with more headcount than you probably need and if your numbers aren't where they are supposed to be, you are expected to buy consulting services from them, so in the end a good chunk of the funding amount flows back to them. That's why a lot of their companies are as soulless as they are.
Well said, the tech is not ready for what people are trying to use it for (for the most part). The problems people are trying to solve is still best served by clever algorithms + data.
I don't understand this.

Sending a partner is sending someone who is fully committed to the VC and not fully committed to the startup. If the VC sends money, that money will be fully committed to the startup.

VCs have entrepreneurs in residence, a bankable executive without an idea. Matching an EIR with a startup is midway between sending a partner and sending money. But still, this EIR isn't fully committed. They're committed to both the VC and the startup, two masters.

This is just not a good fit at this time.
Tesla has never done commercials, they don't do ads in magazines, they don't pay people at football games to talk them up. They have a website, they make blog posts. Imagine if Ford never paid for those endless car ads. Or your local chevy dealer stopped advertising all the time. Tesla doesn't do marketing in the sense that they don't pay for ads.

Imagine if they did, what their sales would be.

Nicely put. For some months I posted essentially this description to Fred Wilson's AVC.COM. Good to see that I'm not the Lone Ranger in this view.

IIRC I also mentioned that SQL database could be both fault tolerant, including redundant, and distributed. Also last time I read on SQL (e.g., Microsoft's SQL Server) it seemed that the opportunities for security, authentication, capabilities, access control lists, and encryption were good.

It’s important to keep in mind that most of the AI “innovation”/hype is coming from a handful of companies looking to make money from cloud computing or whose moat is built on data. The good old story of making money in a gold rush by selling tools...

I would venture that the most hyped stuff (deep learning) doesn’t really work very well in practice, and the stuff that works reliably well is boring enough to barely register on the hype train as “AI”. To be fair, that’s probably an exaggerated caricature, but that is my reading between the lines of SOTA AI results.

Very few people (even among ML researchers) appreciate the fundamental limitations of associational reasoning (rather than causal reasoning). It’s going to be an interesting time when this message actually sinks in...
> Fraud is already illegal, and if it's happening then the defrauded parties should take the swindlers to court and prove it, and the justice system should punish them.

Non-accredited investors, by definition, don’t have a lot of money.

If that money is stolen from them via fraud, where does the money to fund the lawsuit come from?

What if the total potential judgement is less than the cost of the court case?

Regulations exist, in part, because legal remedies are incredibly inefficient.
I concur.

The American Transcontinental railway system had it's foundations laid in a time where full electrical generation and distribution were not by any means solved problems.

Furthermore, the safety issues that would come with trying to use any of the previous rail infrastructure, (which one would be mad not to given how much of it there is) would make things nigh impossible to make work safely given the fact there is quite literally nothing separating people from the tracks. Which is not something would worthwhile to have to implement everywhere given that would consume far more energy to establish than it would save in operation for a very long time.

Also, China's "high speed" rail formula is great for moving people around, but definitely not a regime you want to have to design around for freight. Freight is generally far more massive/dense than the same volume of people. Acceleration of that load to/from excessively high speeds is an engineering nightmare. Not impossible, but definitely expensive.

That's just the points I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure someone in the industry would have more insight than I.
Right, that's what I tried to do, but the game renders an image by referring to the window size rather than the graphics settings. (Or at least, when I force the window into borderless fullscreen, fps drops to the same rate at which it normally renders 3840x2160.)

PGP and DNS. A secure messaging system tied to a PKI controlled by world governments. What could possibly go wrong?
I think you're being a bit too dramatic. For instance, read this https://twitter.com/SenTomCotton/status/1229202134048133126 where a senator raises several possibilities (ascribing the most probability of being true to the most reasonable one) yet several articles were written about what he's saying as if he's one of those people spreading "fake news" and "misinformation" that you dislike. Many people are making simple statements that are reasonable and possible but being called conspiracy theorists just for bringing the possibility up at all.

You don't get to the truth of a matter by rejecting anything that has a small possibility of being true and labeling it fake news and misinformation. If the claim is extremely unreasonable then it shouldn't be a problem, most people can tell it's unreasonable. If it's not that unreasonable then maybe people should be allowed to speak about it, given that it's not clear how or why it isn't unreasonable.
